Evergreen Immortal

Li Rui, who was standing by, listened quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Opening up the trade.

He instantly understood why so many big clans wanted to settle in a tiny place like Qinghe.

It turned out that the court had other intentions.

The suppression of the Ghost Sect was a lie, and the real purpose was to lay a good foundation in advance and trade with the Wu Kingdom in Southern Xinjiang.

The Wu Kingdom in Southern Xinjiang is a place where humans and demons live together.

This was the evaluation given by the smugglers before.

‘It is rumored that demon beasts can be seen everywhere in the Wu Kingdom. The Wu people use demon beasts as slaves and soldiers, which is unimaginable for the Yu people. ’

It is the overlord entrenched in the south of the Yu Kingdom.

Yunzhou is adjacent to the northeast side of Southern Xinjiang.

Anning Prefecture is 300 miles away from Southern Xinjiang. It is not close, but not far either. There has always been a habit of trade before.

It’s just that it has never been put on the table.

For example, the tea that Li Rui gave to Fu Huan of the Imperial Observatory was smuggled from Southern Xinjiang.

Even some officials in neighboring southern Xinjiang would specially collect treasures from southern Xinjiang and send them to the imperial city as tribute.

The bigwigs in the court might have been secretly planning this long ago. Taking advantage of the trouble caused by the Ghost Cult, they first expanded the new city in Qinghe, set up Anning Guard to protect it, laid a solid foundation, and then waited for the trade between Yu State and Wu State to make profits from it.

Why didn't they choose Anning Prefecture or even Yunzhou City directly?

Of course, it was because the local forces in those places were too stubborn and had backers behind them.

They were almost controlled.

The backers behind these people were so fierce and scary, and many of them were even adults in the court. It was too difficult to break the original situation.

Since they couldn't snatch it, they might as well start a new game.

They chose Qinghe, which had no background, directly. In this way, everyone could easily place their subordinates and gain benefits.

They could also give an explanation to the emperor.

Liu Tong grinned and said, "I heard that the Wu Kingdom was in turmoil, and His Majesty ordered Governor Yuan to lead troops to help. In order to thank His Majesty, the new emperor of Wu Kingdom married the princess to the sixth prince of our Yu Kingdom, opened up trade, and promised to be friends forever."

Li Rui had also heard about this.

The Wu Kingdom was founded even earlier than the Yu Kingdom, and its foundation is profound.

It is said that it can be traced back to tens of thousands of years.

When the Xuan Dynasty collapsed, the Emperor of Wu Kingdom and the Taizu of Yu Kingdom even joined forces.

Later.

When Wu Kingdom suddenly encountered a major event, it announced the closure of the country.

Although the two countries did not fight to the death like the barbarians in the north, there was very little communication.

The so-called national foundation.

Naturally refers to the issue of succession. It is said that the old emperor of Wu Kingdom died suddenly, and he did not even leave a will when he left, which led to several sons fighting for the throne.

As for the Yu Kingdom's help,

Just listen to it. Governor Yuan went to Wu Kingdom for a few months and almost became a killing god when he came back.

Yu State helped the new emperor of Wu State to seize power, so the new emperor must give something in return, and opening up the trade is an important part of it.

Wu State is such a giant that it cannot be compared with the evil cult of the Ghost Sect.

Especially in the eyes of those bigwigs.

All their hard work is actually for the trade between the two countries, which is a huge piece of fat meat.

Therefore.

The court has extremely strict control over the entry of large quantities into Qinghe, and has not relaxed until now.

It is the result of the game between all parties.

Liu Tong: "My father-in-law thinks I am good at business, so he asked me to come to Qinghe and promised that if I do well, he would let me marry his daughter."

"."

Liang He and Zhou Shulin had strange expressions.

It turned out that Liu Tong called his father-in-law so smoothly before the fate was even written.

Sure enough, shamelessness is the first meaning of eating gigolo.

Liu Tong was drunk and his mouth was slightly raised, as if he had thought about the good life in the future.

Eating gigolo, especially eating gigolo of the elders of the sect.

It is not enough to just please women, but also to be able to do things.

Please women, but it is only a means, the key is to get the recognition of the father-in-law and become his own.

This step requires meritorious performance.

This bilateral trade between the two countries is a great place for him to gain credit and show his ability.

It is said to be an opportunity, but in fact it is also a test of Liu Tong by the elder of Huaqing Sect.

"Master, I will trouble you to take care of me in Qinghe in the future."

Liu Tong said solemnly to Li Rui.

Li Rui smiled slightly: "We are all family, why are we talking about different things."

Hearing Li Rui's answer.

Liu Tong sighed in his heart.

He came to Qinghe with a mission.

Although Qinghe is his hometown, he, a local, has no support when he returns to Qinghe.

Although his brother-in-law Zhang Yang is a small leader of the Qinghe branch of Tiandi League.

But for him now, there is almost no help.

Among the people he knows, the only one who may help him is Li Rui.

But Li Rui's words just now were meant to bring the two closer.

In fact, he didn't give him an answer at all.

'I was too hasty. '

Liu Tong quickly calmed down and smiled: "Master, this cup is for you, thank you for your care when you were in Tianyi Hall."

After that.

He never mentioned the matter of helping again.

The four of them drank until the middle of the night.

Li Rui then took Liang He back to Anningwei drunkenly.

Liang He then spoke: "Master, why don't you agree to help Liu Tong, he may be a good help to us."

He is no longer the naive young man back then.

Zhou Shulin couldn't see it, but he saw it clearly.

Liu Tong held a banquet to reminisce about the past, but more importantly, he wanted to win over Li Rui.

Li Rui looked at Liang He happily:

"good."

"Liu Tong is indeed capable, but the two countries trade with each other, and I don't know how many big shots are watching. We can't act too hastily, otherwise we will fall into catastrophe."

"Liu Tong is very smart, but impatient. If he cooperates with him, he may get into trouble."

Liang He thought carefully about Li Rui's words.

"Master, why don't you remind Liu Tong? After all, he is an acquaintance."

Although he secretly competed with Liu Tong, he did not want anything to happen to him.

Li Rui looked at Liang He with even more pleased eyes.

He values ​​Liang He because Liang He is worldly but not worldly. He has always maintained a kind heart.

This is important.

Especially for him as a master.

No master wants to end up being stabbed in the back by his disciple one day.

"The relationship has weakened, and keeping in touch with each other will only make Liu Tong feel that we look down on him. Instead of talking, it's better to do it."

Li Rui said lightly.

"Master, I understand."

Liang He was as humble as ever.

Li Rui habitually carried it behind his back:

"Let's go home."

As the Huaqing Sect is a sect of Anning Mansion, it does not require any formalities to set up a branch in Qinghe.

And because of Jiang Linxian.

Almost no obstacles were encountered.

period.

Liu Tong also visited An Ningwei a few times, but as the number of affairs increased, he rarely came there.

Li Zhai is still as peaceful as ever.

He was not disturbed by external matters.

Li Rui still practices Qigong and reads books, that's all.

"Following the rules will lead to people, and going against the rules will lead to immortals. Practicing Qigong depends entirely on inversion."

A green lamp, holding a yellowed ancient scroll.

Li Rui was focused.

Fu Huan of Qin Tian Jian had previously promised to send the notes of the senior Qin Tian Jian to Qinghe after returning to the capital.

this morning.

He just received these notes from the fast horse at the inn.

"When a person is born, his life and life are one. After leaving the mother's body, his nature and life are divided into two. He then goes through the process of growing from young to strong, strong to old, old and sick, and sick and dies. Life travels farther and farther, so you should nourish your Qi and practice it. The body, reverses the yin and yang, returns to the original body.”

"This is the innate state."

According to what is said in the book, a warrior must re-train his or her nature and life to the same level as in the mother's body, even if he or she has reached the innate state.

Li Rui was already exploring the way to cultivate both life and life.

These notes are a treasure.

Being able to create based on the experience of predecessors is undoubtedly much less troublesome than trying to figure it out on your own.

"Wonderful!"

Li Rui became more and more fascinated as he watched.

At this time, the benefits of high understanding appear. Ordinary warriors practice step by step in strict accordance with the instructions on the exercises, without daring to make any mistakes.

But Li Rui is different.

Not only was he able to integrate the ideas in these notes, but he was also able to turn some of the seemingly crazy ideas into reality.

That is to say.

Other warriors are at best followers, but he is a fellow traveler like Qin Tianjian and other ancestors.

Not only that.

Although it is a notebook, it still contains a lot of discussion about martial arts.

To others, it is useless messy words, but in Li Rui's eyes, it is almost indistinguishable from the exercises.

It was the time when he created the practice.

There are a total of six moves of Wandering Dragon Six Slashes, and it is definitely impossible to achieve it by just relying on your own imagination.

But if you want to obtain other skills, and they must be high-level skills, the cost is extremely high.

For an average warrior, just one skill is enough to bankrupt everything.

Not to mention the situation like Li Rui's self-created martial arts that requires thousands of exercises to be compared.

It may not be a problem for those masters with great martial arts skills, but for Li Rui, it is a huge problem.

So so far, he has only created one style.

It will only get harder in the future.

Now with these notes, the problem is easily solved.

Li Rui watched until late into the night.

Then at Haishi, he completed the daily obligatory breathing exercises, then got into bed and fell asleep.

When consciousness returns.

He has already appeared on the dream cloud platform.

A thought came to my mind.

The Notes of the Qintian Supervisor that I just finished reading today appeared in Li Rui's hands.

"Sure enough, as long as something is written down, it can be simulated by the Great Dreamer."

Li Rui sat on the clouds.

Continue to flip through the notebook file carefully.

In his dream, his thinking speed was even faster than that in the outside world, and ideas for creating his own martial arts came to him.

Li Rui flipped through the files faster and faster.

All I could hear was the clattering sound of books being turned over. If those dogmatic old masters in the academy saw it, they would definitely be heartbroken.

At such a fast speed, you can't even read the words on the dossier clearly, and it's useless no matter how fast you turn it through.

Except Li Rui.

At this time, he entered a mysterious and mysterious state. Every time he turned a page of the file, the words on it would automatically enter his brain, which was extraordinary.

Enlightenment in a dream!
