Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Chapter 164: Like a dog crawling (4000 words long chapter)

“Unity of knowing and doing?”

Behind the simple stone palace, the bright girl looked at the dragon skin scroll in front of her with a blank expression.

But at this time, the little blood in her eyes was slowly disappearing. This small universe located in the Wenxin Bell also made a clicking sound.

It was only then that Li Xuan noticed that the surrounding area was filled with various cracks, like a crystal ball cracked inside, with various black threads crisscrossing inside.

——But these cracks are obviously healing and disappearing one by one.

"Knowledge is the idea of ​​action, and action is the effort of knowledge. My personal understanding is that the so-called unity of knowledge and action means that knowledge and behavior must be unified, moral consciousness and practical action must be unified, and theory and practice must be unified."

Li Xuan explained casually, and then asked: "Girl, can I go out?"

The bright girl's eyes gradually revealed contempt and disgust: "What an ugly word! It's like a dog crawling."

Li Xuan's face suddenly darkened. Although he thought his calligraphy was pretty good, it was obviously incomparable to the calligraphy masters' calligraphy hanging in the stone hall.

But no one cared about him since he was a child, and when he grew up, he had to live just for food and clothing. How could he have the resources and energy to practice calligraphy? It’s already very good to be able to write like this.

"Speaking of which, can I take this scroll out?"

"No, since you have passed the test, you have to hang it here for future generations to admire."

At this time, the bright girl clicked on the scroll again: "You can only leave after you make a payment."

Li Xuan felt guilty for a while, thinking that if he was still looked up to by people, he would be embarrassed to see others in the future.

But there was nothing he could do, Li Xuan still signed and stamped his name in the corner of the scroll. He wrote very seriously this time, thinking that it would look ugly if he couldn't even write his own name well.

"Tsk! When a dog crawls, it's Tingtian's dog that crawled out."

The bright girl was obviously resentful towards Tingtian Mastiff, but she still put away the scroll. Then he raised his hand and pointed, and instantly a black seal of unknown texture suddenly fell from the top of the stone palace into Li Xuan's hand.

"Take it, this is a token of Neo-Confucianism and Dharma protection."

"Guardian of Neo-Confucianism?" Li Xuan couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Girl, can I not take this seal? I cannot accept the position of Protector of the Dharma."

At this moment, Li Xuan had sorted out the memories of the many illusions he had experienced before, and knew that the reason why he was able to get here was entirely due to the power of the guardian spirit.

In terms of character, Li Xuan is still very good, and he is just an ordinary person.

Therefore, he really didn't dare to make a big move in this matter.

"It doesn't matter whether you want me to be the protector or not. I can't control it anyway, and of course I can't control this broken seal. It might follow you on its own. The weapon spirits there seem to admire you quite a lot, and think that your Confucian cultivation is... It’s comparable to Yu Zi.”

The bright girl looked calm, then suddenly bit her fingertips and scratched Li Xuan's forehead. She actually used her sharp nails to cut Li Xuan's forehead and heart, and even Li Xuan's body in the real world had a line of blood between his eyebrows.

"This is the 'Tao-protecting Heavenly Eye' opened to you. From now on, all the demons and monsters in the world will be invisible to you, and you can also see through all the evildoers among the disciples of Neo-Confucianism who are trying to confuse Yu Zi's knowledge. But this Heavenly Eye cannot If you open it casually, you can't use the broken seal casually either.

In particular, the broken seal can only be effective on Neo-Confucian disciples who worship under Yu Zi's sect, and there is also the battle of protecting the Tao recognized by the spirit of the weapon. But this is very damaging to your spirit and your vitality, especially if your cultivation level is not high now and you cannot support its consumption. Instead of using it, you might as well use the art of inviting gods to let me take action. "

The bright girl then waved her hand as if she was bored: "Go out and thank Quan Dingtian for me for taking care of me for more than ten years."

Before Li Xuan could say anything, he saw the world spinning in front of him.

When he woke up again, he found that he was already standing on the top floor of Wenxin Tower.

Opposite him were two people, one was Jiang Yunqi who looked at him like a monster with a complicated expression, and the other was a middle-aged man in Confucian uniform with an unfamiliar appearance.

The latter smiled at him, clasped his fists and said, "I have the power to worship and drink in the Imperial College, and I have met the new protector."

At this time, outside the Wenxin Building, nearly 700 Confucian students from the Imperial College all moved toward the top of the building and worshiped from a distance: "We, the disciples of Neo-Confucianism, are here to see you, the Protector of the Dharma!"

At this time, everyone was very curious, who is the protector upstairs? I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see her appearance?

※※※※

Just a little before Li Xuan entered Wenxinling, he was outside Uncle Chengyi's mansion. A young and beautiful woman in red was walking out of a soft sedan. She stretched her waist and then looked up at the plaque.

"I haven't been back for half a year, and I really miss it."

But next to her, a middle-aged woman with a long sword on her back had a strange expression: "I have a terrible headache. When I think of the crazy days half a year ago, my liver hurts. Also, you Do you have to fight with the old lady? It’s just for the uncle’s family affairs. But for the second young master’s affairs, I feel it’s really unnecessary.”

When the middle-aged woman said this, there was a bit of contempt and disgust in her eyes.

She was extremely disgusted with her master's uncle who was like a useless snack. She felt that the mud on the ground was better than this uncle.

Su Zhaojun noticed the middle-aged woman's expression and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "You are too prejudiced. I have always thought that this brother-in-law has a very good nature and talent. If he hadn't been spoiled by his mother, , will definitely shine. Hasn’t he changed his ways and started to make progress now? In the past month, he has repeatedly solved major cases. "

The middle-aged woman sneered and said lightly: "Let's take a look."

Su Zhaojun shook his head: "Let's go in! After my father was punished, this door was really deserted and deserted. The warmth and coldness of people were so cold."

At this time, the door of the uncle's mansion was open, and the housekeeper and servants of the uncle's mansion welcomed him outside the door.

"I've met the young lady."

After the butler saluted, there was a hint of complaint in his voice: "Young lady, you should have said hello before you came. This old servant was not prepared at all. It is really too neglectful."

"Isn't this urgent? I brought some news back from the capital."

The woman in red smiled, then walked up to Li Chengji, who was also waiting at the door, and bowed politely: "My daughter-in-law, Zhaojun, pays homage to her father and asks her how he is."

Then she smiled at Li Yan who was behind her: "I've seen my husband too, but I haven't seen you for more than a month. Husband, you seem to have lost your temper."

"Thank you for your hard work, Zhaojun." Li Yan's body trembled slightly, and his expression was very complicated. He was filled with endless surprises, love and expectation, but also seemed to have a headache.

A moment later, the family sat down in the study of sincere uncle Li Chengji. The surrounding area is heavily guarded and no mosquitoes or flies can enter.

Li Chengji sat behind the desk, his eyes extremely solemn: "Yu Shaobao, did he really say that to your father?"

"That's what it says, not a word has been changed."

Su Zhaojun's face was also extremely solemn: "Yu Shaobao asked you to take care of the Yangtze River Navy and water transportation. Especially water transportation, there is a severe drought in the north this year, and there is already a food shortage in the capital. We have to allocate grain supplies for nine months." Nowadays, they all rely on water transportation from the south of the Yangtze River. Once the water transportation is damaged, not only will there be a famine in Beizhili, but the border defense of the Jin Dynasty may also collapse as a result.

Therefore, if the various incidents in South Zhili recently are just accidental, it would be fine. But if there is really a force behind it, or even a conspiracy to rebel, then the Yangtze River Navy under your command is the top priority, and there must be no loss. . "

Li Yan and Li Chengji couldn't help but look at each other, and the latter frowned slightly: "Yu Shaobao's worries are not entirely unfounded. The recent situation in Nanzhili is very not right. Due to the assassination of the second prince, there are also There was a case of arms theft and selling not long ago. Now in the area from Zhenjiang to Luzhou, many chief officials have been jailed or dismissed from office, leaving them vacant, leaving the area empty."

"Just like the previous Incident in the Underworld and the Tomb of Chen Han, if the Minister of Rites and the Ministry of War of Nanzhili were still in office, the chief and deputy commander of Dasheng Pass would not be implicated. Then the Tomb of Chen Han would never have reached the point of unblocking. .”

Li Yan frowned: "How easy is it to keep an eye on the Yangtze River Navy? My father has been dismissed from his post, and he is still a criminal. In what name are you looking for it?"

"Yu Shaobao is already thinking of ways to exonerate you, father." Su Zhaojun said with a wry smile: "However, there is a fierce dispute between China and North Korea in the capital, and there are people from the Ministry of Rites and Zhan Shifu who are trying their best to criticize you, father, so this will take time. "

When Li Yan and Li Chengji heard this, they were not surprised. Regarding the situation between North Korea and China, they are naturally paying attention to it all the time.

The real headache is the Zhan Shifu, which is an organization that assists the prince and is a party member of the prince.

But Uncle Chengyi really had no intention and did not want to stand on the opposite side of the Crown Prince. He had never offended His Highness the Crown Prince in the past.

They don't even know why Zhan Shifu targeted Chengyi Bofu?

In the eyes of the father and son, this is the biggest crisis for their sincere residence in the future.

"Zhaojun, the prince and the queen mother are so disgusted with my sincere uncle?" Li Yan couldn't help but interrupt: "In the past, when we discussed the appointment of the crown prince, my father also contributed."

"Husband, there is no need to be nervous. I asked someone to inquire about this matter. This is definitely not the prince's intention, but someone in Zhan Shifu made his own decision, or it was the emperor's instruction."

Su Zhaojun shook his head: "On the contrary, the prince has a good impression of our sincere uncle's house. He thinks that his father is a minister of the country and a pillar in the southeast. But the problem is that he is deep in the palace, and there are no confidants around him. How can a few of them stretch their fists and feet? And Zhan Shifu is called the Prince's Wings, but among those Hanlin scholars, who would take the words of a young man with a hairless mouth to heart."

Hearing this, not only did Li Yan's expression soften, but Li Chengji's frown also relaxed a bit.

"Let's get down to business."

Su Zhaojun brought the topic back on track: "Shaobao also knows the difficulty of this matter, but he also knows that our uncle's house has a deep foundation in the navy along the Yangtze River, and he responds to every call. So there is one thing to say, if the situation reaches the worst point. Please be sincere. We must keep the common people in mind and not avoid suspicion."

At this time, Su Zhaojun's voice was extra heavy.

The expressions of the two people in the study also changed suddenly. They all know the weight of this sentence, and they also know the risks that the Chengyi Mansion will take for it.

Li Yan frowned: "What Shaobao said is simple. This is something that will make the whole family lose their heads. He didn't even give you any evidence?"

"It's probably impossible to give."

Su Zhaojun shook his head: "Yu Shaobao is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt, and a gentleman can bully him. He is in a place of suspicion and is in the spotlight. There are some things that really cannot be done."

Li Chengji fell into deep thought, and after a long time he replied to Su Zhaojun: "Please ask your father to tell Yu Shaobao that if that time comes, I will carefully consider his proposal. But I personally think that Mr. Shaobao should do more now. What we are thinking about is how to avoid a worse situation from happening.”

After Su Zhaojun heard this, he didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing? I am not stupid. Since I already know the pros and cons, I will not let them make trouble out of control. Even if there is such a day, I will first consider the options for the whole family."

After Lee Seung-ki laughed, he asked again: "Is there nothing else?"

"besides!"

Su Zhaojun clasped his fists: "This year Jiangnan and Huguang are mature, but the canal is blocked and the grain ships are slow. Millions of grains of household grains are piled up in the Zhenjiang area and cannot be transported north. The imperial court has repeatedly issued decrees to urge the governor of water transportation, but It's all to no avail. Master Shaobao asked me to ask you, is there any way to resolve it?"

Li Chengji thought for a moment, and then said: "Tell Yu Shaobao that you can try to take a sea transport."

"Sea freight?"

The two people present could not help but look astonished. Li Yan frowned and said, "Is this just inappropriate? The risk is too great."

Theoretically speaking, it is much more convenient to transport grain from South Zhili to the north by sea than by water.

However, one reason is that banditry is rampant at sea, and the other reason is that it is difficult to prevent officials from taking advantage of shipwrecks and drifting, and it is impossible to control losses, which is far less safe than water transportation under the nose.

Then there is the biggest problem, which is the monsters in the sea.

"It's just a temporary measure of last resort," Li Chengji shook his head: "If we want the water transportation to be smooth, the only way is to clean the Shusuo Canal, clean the water gates, and strictly prevent entrainment, but this is not a day's work. Before this, I knew a person I have good friendships with several dragon kings at sea. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net With the help of this person, we will definitely be able to open up the waterway from the Yangtze River Estuary to Tianjin. And even if it fails-"

He looked at the north with a hint of meaning in his eyes: "This might not be able to lure the snake out of its hole and let some people sitting under the table stand up."

Su Zhaojun's pupils narrowed slightly, and she heard the hidden meaning in Li Chengji's words.

This woman obviously believed that the blockage in water transport was caused by man-made problems, which coincided with her father's suspicion.

At this time, the official business had been discussed, and Li Chengji smiled again and said: "Zhaojun, you can go and have a rest. You can go to the main hall for the banquet later. I have asked people to prepare a banquet in the main hall and invited three or five relatives and friends to the banquet."

He then frowned again: "Only Xuan'er is not here. He may be busy with official duties and hasn't come back yet. I have already summoned him by flying talisman."

"I do know where my little brother is. He should have been invited to the Jiang Mansion by Captain Jiang."

Just after Su Zhaojun finished saying this, a maid came to the door of the study. She bowed respectfully to the three of them: "Sir, hello, young master. Madam, she heard that the young lady has returned. She was very happy and wanted to invite the young lady." Madam went to talk."

Hearing this sentence, Li Chengji and Li Yan both changed slightly, knowing that this might be the prelude to the beginning of the war.

But Su Zhaojun smiled: "Where is mother, take me there."
