I'm the best catcher in martial arts

"Lao Li, aren't you in the north?"

When Shen Lian was cultivating himself at home, he read the information sent by Lu Jianxing. Li Xunhuan was clearly registering people in the North, so why did he come to the Western Regions?

"I don't know. I received an imperial decree asking me to escort the prince to Xixia for inspection. I didn't say anything else, but I think it may be because your majesty saw my pursuit."

Li Xunhuan took a big sip of wine, a bit of pride and entanglement flashed across his face. As a genius who became famous before the age of thirty, it was impossible for him to decay like an octogenarian, but he seemed to be retiring.

Looking at Li Xunhuan with a troubled face, Shen Lian guessed why Zhu Biao asked the two to go together. Although the two had different personalities and different experiences, they would eventually become the same. Shen Lian was responsible for taking the lead, and Li Xunhuan followed closely behind.

Li Xunhuan's character and knowledge are very suitable for comforting the people in a war-torn place who have just experienced the war and become frightened and panicked all day long.

Don't think these things are easy.

The people of the Jin Kingdom suffered fierce massacres. The Meng Yuan and Manchu Qing Dynasties were the murderers among the murderers. They slaughtered wantonly. Everyone was in danger, for fear of being killed by the insurrectionary soldiers.

The people of the Liao Kingdom suffered a bloody civil war. The battle between Yelu Hongji and Yelu Nerugu squandered all the accumulation of the Liao Kingdom over the years. The shocking bloody battle between Lan Yu and Nian Gengyao left the northern land bleeding.

The people were worried about their survival, and they didn't know how the Ming Dynasty would treat them. There was a blood feud between the two sides, and their lifestyles were somewhat different. The contradiction was very big.

In this case, both kindness and power must be used.

Shi Yanwen, Li Xunhuan and other polite and gentle Confucian scholars were responsible for calming the people's emotions.

The generals who fought on the battlefield would follow behind with butcher's knives. If they encountered stubborn people, they would either kill them with their swords or return them to Yelu Hongji.

This is why Yelu Hongji is retained.

In the process of digesting the Northland, these nobles often play a role. Some serve as chickens to scare monkeys, some help tell the benefits of the Ming Dynasty, and some have internal conflicts with Yelu Hongji to keep Yelu Hongji honest.

Li Xunhuan did very well in Beidi.

Not only can it appease the people and promote culture, but it can also exterminate those rebels who have turned into bandits. If anyone wants to take advantage of the situation, he will show no mercy with flying knives.

Logically speaking, Li Xunhuan should be allowed to continue to practice his abilities in Beidi. If he can do better and his abilities become stronger, he may be able to take over from the old Li Xunhua.

In fact, this is almost impossible.

Li Xunhuan was able to pass the entrance examination at a young age. He was top-notch in terms of intelligence and character. There were some things that he didn't know yet, but he could definitely learn them.

Just because you can definitely learn it doesn’t mean you will definitely learn it.

Li Xunhuan and the Ministry of Rites are very inconsistent.

The most important responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites are the imperial examinations and foreign relations. The former requires hard study behind closed doors and becomes a great scholar like Song Lina, while the latter requires free switching between light and darkness.

Not only does it have the demeanor of a great nation with thousands of nations coming to court, and shows the magnanimity of a mighty great nation, but it also needs to be intimidated by force, be conciliatory, stab in the back, and sow discord...

This is a very complex and huge subject that cannot be described as justice or evil.

The only "justice" is distance.

——Attack distance!

In this era, the Ming Dynasty's iron cavalry has the ultimate attack range. Wherever it hits, there will be justice.

Hundreds of years later, it will be the range of artillery, the accuracy of missiles, the cruise of aircraft carriers, the detection and interception of radar, and the counter-detection and counter-interception of weapons.

With Li Xunhuan's learning ability, he can certainly learn these required courses, but is he willing to learn them?

Li Xunhuan is not Su Qin Zhang Yi, and he cannot be Su Qin Zhang Yi, let alone the Minister of Rites. He is not suitable for the six departments, and it can even be said that he is not suitable for the court.

Sooner or later, he will definitely resign, but due to the special nature of the family, even if his father retires, his eldest brother will remain in the court and it is impossible to completely retire.

The best choice is half martial arts worship!

He could usually go to the Hanlin Academy to study books, go to the Qingshui Yamen that suits him, or be an inspector, carrying Shang Fang's sword around to clean up the treacherous people.

Just like "XX Detective Series", Li Xunhuan is very suitable for this and can do it very well.

When necessary, he can use his sword to fight against foreign martial arts masters, which is obvious, but at the same time, it is one of the deepest and most unfathomable trump cards.

Wanting to understand this, Shen Lian twitched the corner of his mouth.

After being awarded the title of General Huwei a few days ago, Shen Lian felt that he was a grain transport officer, similar to Yang Jian in "Feng Shen".

Only now do I know that I am a pioneer officer.

Almost equivalent to Nezha.

Charge into battle, be brave and invincible, and take the initiative to rush forward when in danger. The secret method of the evil heretics can restrain most warriors, but it has no effect on Shen Lian.

It's just like in the novel "The Legend of the Gods", the spells or magic weapons such as Soul-Calling Soul-Seizing and Soul-Seizing Banners can be used to hit others accurately. Facing Nezha, they are taking the initiative to deliver food, but Nezha easily kills them. .

Li Xunhuan is the real Yang Jian.

On weekdays, he guards the rear and eliminates traitors. When encountering a strong enemy, he can stand up and respond to the enemy. When encountering a strong enemy, he becomes stronger. No matter what kind of strong enemy he is, he can defeat him.

Shen Lian also contributed to this.

Shen Lian gave Zhu Biao a book of stories to relieve his boredom, especially the emperor who liked to conduct private visits incognito, investigate cases and pick up girls, which inspired Zhu Biao a lot. Of course, he could not conduct private visits and investigate cases incognito, but he could let Li Xunhuan do it.

Not only did he allow Li Xunhuan to stay in the court and use the knowledge he had gained through hard study in his humble life, but it also did not go against his true nature and allowed him to do what he liked, sharpening stronger flying knives.

Shen Lian and Li Xunhuan looked at each other and saw the understanding look in each other's eyes. Then they both looked at Zhong Yuan at the same time, guessing Zhu Biao's arrangement for Zhong Yuan.

——Li Xunhuan's personal bodyguard.

Just like Li Yuanfang next to Di Renjie, and like Wang Ma Zhang Zhao and Zhan Zhao next to Bao Zheng.

Zhong Yuan is majestic, handsome, powerful in martial arts, hates evil, and is the best guard.

Next to Li Xunhuan is the fearless, fierce-looking, invulnerable Tie Chuan Jia. The two of them just form the left and right door gods, one with a red face and the other with a white face.

As for Jin Bingyun...

Zhu Biao did not arrange for Jin Bingyun. Jin Bingyun took the initiative to follow Shen Lian and was not within the scope of the plan.

The four people quickly reviewed various plans, not only the case of King Zuowu of Chang'an, but also what major events had happened in the court before departure, and what a few old foxes, such as Xu Ruowu or Liu Bowen, thought about it.

Others may not know these things, but Li Xunhuan definitely knows, because before he set off, a real old fox reminded him.

——That person is Lao Li Tanhua!

After more than 20 years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Old Li Tanhua's acumen for the court was tens of hundreds of times better than that of Li Xunhuan and Shen Lian. From the beginning of the year, he was aware of the changes that would occur and made many arrangements in advance.

Li Xunhuan is not good at conspiracy, but he is particularly good at fighting. If something happens and old Li Tanhua is involved, Li Xunhuan can escape in time.

"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building!"

Li Xunhuan sighed.

"I shouldn't go with you!"

Zhong Yuan cursed bitterly. This matter may have nothing to do with him originally, but he took the initiative to join. Since he was on the pirate ship, it was absolutely impossible to get off.

Shen Lian patted him on the shoulder: "Think about Li Yuanfang during the Wu Zhou period, what a hero he was!

When we arrive at the Sword Forging City, I will have you tailor-made two magic weapons based on the styles of the Orchid Sword and the Chain Knife, so that you can be invincible! "

Zhong Yuan snorted: "Three pieces!"

"I remember that Li Yuanfang can also use a gun..."

"I'm good at using sticks."

"What stick?"

"Of course it's the Eight Drunken Immortals stick technique!"

Zhong Yuan was born as an imperial guard and was not a disciple of a famous sect. As long as he could improve his strength, he could practice any weapon and was proficient in thirty or forty kinds of martial arts.

Fortunately, he has amazing magical power and likes to drink, so his fists, feet and weapons are related to him. With the magical power of subduing dragons and tigers as the root system and trunk, and the Eight Drunken Immortals as relatively strong branches, no matter how many martial arts he practices, they are just slender branches, or It's lush leaves.

Zhong Yuan seems to be miscellaneous but not skilled. In fact, the more critical moments he is in, the stronger his fighting power becomes.

…

Sword Forging City.

Liu Changjie stretched and got up for morning exercises.

He did not waste these days. Instead, he read through the inheritance of Sword Forging City. Except for the unique skill of Riding the Dragon, which was passed down from the city lord, he basically mastered all of them.

However, Liu Changjie likes to use knives and has no interest in swordsmanship. Therefore, he combined the "Yin and Yang Chaos Blade Technique" developed by Sun Zhi, the lord of the Jueqing Valley more than a hundred years ago, and integrated the essence of swordsmanship into the swordsmanship to create unique martial arts. .

Sword Forging City has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are countless books in its internal inventory. Liu Changjie is like a sponge soaked in water, eagerly absorbing knowledge.

After nearly two years of hard training, Liu Changjie's martial arts increased several times, even surpassing the Sword Master.

Exactly how much more, no one knows.

Anyway, the Sword Master activated "Dragon Riding Slash" and blasted out the strongest sword energy that surpassed his own foundation. Liu Changjie raised his palm and made a sword with ease, breaking through the sword energy with ease.

The sword master never dared to care about him again.

He didn't even dare to test Liu Changjie before the Lingshuang Sword was born, because he really couldn't beat him.

Only the Sword Master himself understands that the gap between the two sides may not seem big, but in fact it is like a chasm. No matter how hard he practices in seclusion, he cannot break through that casual sword.

Liu Changjie has no ambitions. He has no idea of ​​becoming the Lord of the Sword Forging City, and he doesn't want to snatch the sword.

Liu Changjie has long made it clear to the Sword Lord that he is only interested in the descendants of the Demon Sword. It’s up to you to believe it or not, but if there are any more boring temptations, please bear the consequences.

Jianzun was furious, but he couldn't afford to offend Liu Changjie for the time being, so he could only restrain his temper, make a kind gesture like a kindhearted elder, delegate power to Liu Changjie, and let Jianxiong and Liu Changjie handle the affairs of Sword City together. Try Can this powerful dragon be kept in Sword Forging City completely?

Before Liu Changjie's morning training ended, Jianxiong had already walked into the courtyard with the carrier pigeon: "The latest information, your junior brother Shen Lian is arriving soon, and the prince is arriving soon."

The first half of Jianxiong's words made Liu Changjie feel no emotion at all. The second half of Jianxiong's words made him almost vomit his heart out and he stopped his morning exercise in a hurry.

"You just said, who wants to come to the Western Region?"

"The Prince of Ming Dynasty."

"What is the prince doing here?"

"You can ask Shen Lian this question. Now all the countries in the Western Region want to know about this matter. If they can get advance information, they can have an absolute advantage."

Jianxiong adopted a business-like attitude.

Although she is a woman, she has always shown herself in men's clothing. No one except Jian Zun and Liu Changjie knows this secret, and she doesn't want anyone to know.

Speaking of which, it was the ancestors of Sword Forging City who were responsible for this.

Sword Forging City is a force inherited from the family. To put it bluntly, the city lord has the responsibility to reproduce future generations.

The first few generations did quite well, but after that, most of them loved practicing swords and became crazy about swords, and they had fewer and fewer children. Jianzun was the only son in the family, had no brothers and sisters, and had no intention of giving Jianxiong a younger brother to continue the family legacy.

The family's power has no direct male, but only one girl of the right age. Isn't it meat on the chopping board?

If this matter is exposed, I don't know how many people want to come to Sword Making City to be exterminated, or to add insult to injury.

The strangest thing about this matter is that the Sword Master is by no means a swordsman obsessed with swords. This guy has always been open to women, but he only has one daughter.

From the perspective of family inheritance, Jian Zun's performance was relatively poor, while Ouyang Feiying's performance was ridiculously poor.

Ouyang Feiying is the lord of Sifang City. He likes to call himself "I" in private. Back then, he joined forces with three sworn brothers to conquer the world. After the success, he stabbed the brothers in the back, and then one of the brothers' subordinates fled with the "Jade Seal".

Whether their seal is a jade seal or not, I don’t think about it for the time being. I will only talk about two strange things.

First of all, since you have decided to backstab, you must eradicate the root cause. All Ouyang Feiying's nephews and nieces are alive and well, and several of them have obtained profound inheritance.

Secondly, this city lord who likes to call himself "I" and loves power like crazy only has a daughter. He originally had a son, but he was born with a disability and was cruelly abandoned by Ouyang Feiying. There is only one daughter in the family.

As Ouyang Feiying gets older and his daughter Ouyang Yingying reaches the age of marriage, many people want to be the consort of Sifang City and inherit the foundation of Sifang City.

Heroes such as Qian Luo, Liu Suifeng, Helianba, Guan Yutian, etc. have secretly designed countless plans.

Especially Ganluo.

Qian Luo had a relationship with Shan Yuru, the leader of the Tianming Sect, and learned many skills. For example, he trained seven adopted daughters with extraordinary talents and beauty, first made these adopted daughters fall in love with him, and then married them off, using Honey traps to steal information or sow discord.

In order to ensure the loyalty of these people, the martial arts Qian Luo taught them had fatal flaws, and he taught these flaws to several eunuchs to check and balance them.

Since there is an adopted daughter, there is also an adopted son.

The Destiny Sect is good at cultivating all kinds of scum, such as Zhou She and Wuhua who were killed by Shen Lian.

Qianluo trained several young and handsome adopted sons who were very good at attracting bees and butterflies with women.

No matter who seduces Ouyang Yingying and becomes Ouyang Feiying's son-in-law, he can use this to leverage the foundation of Sifang City's rule until he is swallowed up by Qian Luo.

Now, these people have arrived in Sifang City.

At the same time, Ouyang Feiying's abandoned son, the descendant of his old brothers, who was accomplished in martial arts, also entered Sifang City, wanting to settle what happened back then.

The martial arts world in the Western Regions has been in turmoil.

A strong mutation is about to occur.
