Evergreen Immortal

The next morning.

A few unknown birds were chirping on the treetops in front of the door.

Liang He is practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Liu Tiezhu practices hammering in the backyard.

Li Rui opened the door and smiled happily when he saw the two disciples being so active.

"Come and have some porridge."

Call the two disciples together.

The five people in the courtyard all came from poor backgrounds and were not that particular. They gathered around a small wooden table and drank happily.

Finished the porridge.

Li Rui then opened the door and walked out of the house.

To go to Benhuqi, he had to pass by Gaozhen's house, which was well guarded. Only when he was far away did he glance at the Immortal Stone in his sleeve without leaving any trace.

Nothing changes.

"It seems that there is a way to hide the magic."

My heart moved slightly.

"Who could it be?"

Li Rui thought.

Logically speaking, the most likely person is of course Gao Zhen himself. After all, Gao Zhen comes from a wealthy family and has a profound background.

But we don't rule out the possibility that some inconspicuous person in Gaofu's residence might get a chance from heaven.

Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not impossible. If he can have a chance encounter, it is equally possible for others.

If the person who has found the magic trace is a high-spirited person.

He will give up without hesitation.

No matter how good the wizard is, he still has to have a life to take it.

In addition to being a sixth-grade defender, Gao Zhen is also a master of the sixth-grade Dragon Gate Realm.

Li Rui didn't think that the scenario where Gao Zhen had a sudden accident and lost his health, and then automatically ran in front of him and was killed could happen to him.

Coveting someone stronger than yourself is a way to die.

But if it were someone else, that would make sense.

"Let's confirm who it is first."

His only advantage now is that he has the Xunxian Stone. Once that person reveals his magic again, the Xunxian Stone will be able to sense it.

As long as you have enough patience, you can always determine your goals.

Li Rui no longer looks at Gao Zhai.

Walked straight in the direction of Ben Huqi.

Just walked into camp.

Then I heard Tan Hu laughing wildly: "It's so fun. It's so damn fun."

Several other members of Benhuqi also had happy faces.

Seeing Li Rui coming, everyone happily surrounded him.

Li Rui yelled:

"What kind of happy event is this?"

Tan Hu grinned almost to his ears: "It's Gao Zhen. His subordinate Ma from Shen Ziying was found to be smuggling weapons to the barbarians in the north. Lord Jiang personally ordered him to be killed on the spot."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

Ning Zhongtian's lobbying skills were quite strong, and he was able to get Jiang Linxian to stand up for him.

Although smuggling weapons is rare, the army definitely exists.

Compared with smuggling salt and weapons, and even selling them to the barbarians in the north, in the eyes of the emperor, it was almost the same as treason.

Therefore, people who do this are generally extremely secretive.

Obviously, Shen Ziying Ma Zongqi was having a bad time.

Ning Zhongtian wanted to deal with Gao Zhen, and happened to find evidence of his crime.

It used to be able to minimize major problems if it was properly operated, but now it has directly cost lives.

Tan Hu continued: "That surnamed Ma just had a drink with Gao Zhen a few days ago. It should be a sign of loyalty. He died in Master Jiang's hands within two days. It was really fun."

Li Rui smiled slightly and reminded:

"Huzi, from now on in the military camp, you will call me Mr. Gao."

Don't get carried away when you are proud.

In the military camp, you should abide by the rules of the military camp.

People with a strong character will fight to the death behind their backs, but in public they should be called adults when they should be called adults, and they will even be louder when eating wine and holding glasses.

Of course, Li Rui didn't expect Tan Hu to really become a serious person.

That may not be a good thing for Tan Hu. Only by maintaining an innocent heart can the advantages of the natural King Kong be maximized.

People are different and take different paths.

Tan Hu looked at Li Rui, who was neither happy nor sad, and admired him even more: "Ning Tou'er told me that the reason why Mr. Jiang was able to persuade Mr. Jiang to take action was because of Brother Li's words."

"oh?"

"What words?"

"Give up your illusions and prepare to fight."

"."

Li Rui was speechless.

Tan Hu: "After this lesson, people with the surname Gao should be more restrained."

Several other members of the Benhu Cavalry also nodded repeatedly.

"No one with the surname Guan will go out today."

The corners of Li Rui's mouth raised slightly.

This is the effect he wants.

If you can open it with one punch, you can avoid hundreds of punches.

If you want to gain peace, you must let your opponent know that if you take action, you will also pay a heavy price.

The reason why he urged Ning Zhongtian to take the initiative was not only that the move itself was the only solution, but also that there was someone who could share the pressure.

If Ning Zhongtian doesn't take action, all Gao Zhen's methods will fall on Li Rui and the others.

With his old waist, even if he could resist it, it would still be uncomfortable.

The best way is of course to find someone taller.

Ning Zhongtian is the best candidate.

Guessing that Ning Zhongtian had the same idea, he told Jiang Linxian exactly what Li Rui said.

So much better.

Li Rui always felt that.

The best way to face the wind and rain is not to be strong-willed, but to hold an umbrella, preferably a big umbrella.

Jiang Linxian's umbrella is big enough.

Gaofu.

"Are you saying that Ma Feng was killed by Jiang Linxian himself?"

Gao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at the flag general, Guan Peng.

Guan Peng nodded repeatedly with a bitter look on his face.

Ma Feng was killed, and he was inevitably sad. Ma Feng was indeed worthy of being killed for smuggling weapons to the barbarians, but he didn't do what he should be killed according to the law?

Of course there will be no less.

Once discovered, they might end up being beheaded on the spot.

"Top Gao, why don't we stop first?"

Guan Peng asked tentatively.

If it were just Ning Zhongtian, he would still dare to provoke him, but Jiang Linxian's personal action was of a different nature. Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to do it again.

What surprised him.

This time, Gao Zhen was more considerate than ever and nodded:

"Okay, let's stop for now."

Guan Peng was immediately overjoyed:

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gao."

After losing one of his men, Gao Zhen's mood did not change at all, and he waved his hand casually: "Go down."

Guan Peng exited the room.

The corner of Gao Zhen's mouth raised slightly:

"Ning Zhongtian, I underestimated you."

He didn't expect that Ning Zhongtian could actually ask Jiang Linxian to take action.

"It seems I can only think of other ways."

With the great god Jiang Linxian here, all the tricks will be useless.

Jiang Linxian originally joined the army and was in charge of the discipline and criminal law of the Anning Guard. According to the rules, even if Cao Wei wanted to deal with the soldiers of the Anning Guard, he needed Jiang Linxian's consent.

If Gao Zhen takes action rashly, he will definitely be punished by Jiang Linxian.

He asked himself whether he could eat or live.

It's the same even if Cao Wei backs it up.

This is the subtlety of the imperial court's art of checks and balances. One person is in charge of the troops and one person is in charge of the punishment.

Without Cao Wei's orders, Jiang Linxian would not be able to command the An Ning Guards, but he could be in charge of rewards and punishments.

The same goes for Cao Wei. Without Jiang Linxian's documents, it would be a serious crime to punish the soldiers of An Ning Guard privately, but he still has the power to lead the troops.

There are checks and balances between the two sides, and no one can completely control the Peace Guard.

If Jiang Linxian insists on killing Gao Zhen.

Cao Wei really couldn't stop him. The most he could do was wait for Gao Zhen to die and use his power to lead the troops to send the soldiers of Jiang Linxian's faction to the most dangerous place.

Just hurting each other.

Gao Zhen wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the people assigned to him by the ancestor of Blood Shadow, not to get involved in the vortex of power and kill himself.

So it's clear that enough is enough.

Originally, he wanted to test Jiang Linxian's bottom line, but he didn't expect that he would directly face Jiang Linxian's thunderous counterattack in the first test.

Kill Ma Feng.

One is to clean up military discipline, and the other is to intimidate Gao Zhen and even Cao Wei.

Gao Zhen smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart at all.

If this way doesn't work, then try another way.

Anyway, those who died were all soldiers of An Ning Guard, so he didn't feel any pain at all.

And except for Ning Zhongtian, the other people on the list are actually not difficult to kill.

He was quite sure of it.

At this time.

A gray pigeon flew into the room from the window and landed on the edge of the table obediently.

There is a note tied to its right leg, which is a homing pigeon.

This world has not invented mobile phones. The first way to transmit information is through inns, and the other is through flying pigeons.

The corners of Gao Zhen's mouth are more curved.

He took the note off the pigeon's foot.

There are a few crooked words on it, and ordinary people can't figure out what they mean.

It is the secret text of the Gui Ming Sect.

Only those who master the art of deciphering can understand the words on it.

Looking at the words on the note, Gao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Senior brother is here in Qinghe?"

"Senior brother, what do you think of this knife?"

yard.

Liu Tiezhu and Liang He's heads were next to each other, and they were studying the long knife with a faint cold light in Liu Tiezhu's hand.

"very good!"

Liang He's eyes lit up.

He knew that his junior brother was good at forging weapons, so he asked Liu Tiezhu to make him a handy weapon.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tiezhu's skills were even better than he expected.

Hearing Liang He's affirmation, Liu Tiezhu was elated.

In the past, when I was working in a blacksmith shop, I was completing a task. Although I was serious about it, I lacked soul.

This sword in his hand has put a lot of effort into it, and the previous swords are simply incomparable.

"Master's sword is better because of its good materials, but compared to craftsmanship, senior brother's sword is even better."

This is also related to the fact that his strength increased greatly after entering the product.

If you have enough strength, you can be more confident in blacksmithing and turn theory into practice.

Just finished speaking.

Li Rui laughed and scolded from behind: "Good boy, are you using inferior goods for your master?"

Liu Tiezhu turned his head.

He knew that Li Rui was joking, but he still said seriously: "I'm afraid of my hand skills, so I will first use my senior brother's sword to practice my skills, and then I will reforge a sword for my master."

"It's true."

As a master, he naturally accepts his disciple's wishes calmly.

By recruiting Liu Tiezhu, not only did he gain a talented apprentice, but he also saved the wages of casting soldiers.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The number of highly skilled weapon-casting masters is much rarer than that of warriors. Not only must the weapon-casting skills be high, but the martial arts attainments must also be good.

If the two are superimposed, the number will of course be smaller.

"I heard that Xiaozhao performed quite well in the prison hall."

Maybe in a few years, there will be another horse master in the house.

There are really a lot of talents.

Li Rui is very satisfied with his disciples. The key is that their conduct is not bad.

He was about to say a few more jokes.

His expression suddenly condensed.

The red color of the Wisdom Eye smoke deepened a bit more.
