From the Great Wall of the North City to the Shendu, after Xuanling County, and further to the south, there are actually no so-called military towns. To the north of the Shendu, the terrain is actually flat. Although it is not as cold as the north, it is The terrain is also a plain, and it is difficult to have any steep passes. Therefore, although the human race built the Great Wall in the north, although it consumed countless manpower, it was something that had to be done. If it was not done, there would be an open land in the north, and half of the human race would not be able to survive. The danger is defensible, but I'm afraid the situation will become even more severe.

About eight hundred miles away from the divine capital, there is a small town called Huangni. This town is located in a remote location. The people living here have probably never left the town for generations, and there is no so-called guardian envoy in the town. , in fact, if you are unlucky, if a monster passes by here, all the hundreds of people in this small town will die. But I don’t know why, it has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, but this small town is There has never been a single monster trouble, so much so that the people in the town are even skeptical about the so-called monster plunder from the Liang Dynasty.

After all, they didn't know what the rumors were, and they had never seen it, but they were somewhat yearning for the divine city that was only eight hundred miles away.

Occasionally, when merchants come to the town, many people will gather around them to listen to the stories that only exist in the divine capital.

There is only one restaurant in the town, called Chunfengju. It has been opened today, the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the situation in previous years, there will not be many diners today, but today there is a businessman from the capital of God. When I came here, I happened to want to rest here, and a lot of people were attracted in a short time, making this Chunfeng Residence a bit lively.

The merchants who came from Shendu were selling some outdated porcelain that was not very popular in Shendu, but they could not be sold in Shendu. It was especially easy to sell it when it was shipped to such a remote place. The merchants asked the waiters to place it at the door of the restaurant. He sat down at the restaurant and ordered a bottle of good wine.

At this moment, there were already more than a dozen small town residents on the second floor, looking eagerly at the middle-aged merchant.

The merchant smiled slightly and said, "I want to hear stories. There aren't many stories in the divine capital this New Year, but if I really want to tell you, do you know about Xuanling County?" 🄲

The people in Huangni Town still knew something about that important military town, and they quickly nodded their heads.

The middle-aged businessman took a sip of wine and said slowly, "In the entire New Liuzhou, a group of officials have changed a few days ago. The governor Fang has been taken to the capital of God for trial. Then the entire Xuanling County, large and small, In the Yamen, there are all new faces at this moment. In Yijun County, almost all the officials have been replaced. Do you know why? "

In fact, this is not a big deal. At least in Shendu, almost everyone knows about it. But in this small yellow mud town, there is probably no one who knows about it at this moment.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Some people could no longer hold back and began to ask questions.

The middle-aged merchant was not in a hurry and said slowly, "In the year when His Majesty ascended the throne, that is, more than ten years ago, he personally issued an order to recruit troops for the Northern Territory. The imperial edict clearly stated that if anyone joins the army, he will go to the Great Wall of the Northern Territory. How much money should there be? How much money should the yamen give each month after death? There is a fixed amount every month. But who knows, in the land of Xuanling County, officials have embezzled money and violated the law and embezzled an unknown amount. Yinliang, you are drinking human blood!”

"Isn't this kind of thing new? Which official is not greedy for money?"

The middle-aged merchant smiled and said, "Of course it's not new. Who can count how many officials there are in the Liang Dynasty? There are only upright officials."

How many, how many corrupt officials are there? "

The people nodded in agreement. The Liang Dynasty had been in existence for more than two hundred years. During this period, the court had to deal with countless corrupt officials. However, even if this happened a hundred times, it would not be possible to destroy all the corrupt officials in a dynasty. Corrupt officials were purged. When Emperor Lingzong was in power, it was even said that honest officials and corrupt officials were like the two rivers in the Liang Dynasty, the Xiangjiang River and the Yanjiang River. Both rivers ran through the entire north and south of Daliang, but the rivers But there is a big difference. One of the rivers is clear, while the other is turbid, carrying mud and sand on both sides of the river. Floods often occur downstream.

This is what Emperor Lingzong said, "Don't use it because the water is clear, and don't use it because the water is turbid."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the time, causing extensive discussions between the government and the public. Although there was no conclusion, it also showed that it was difficult to eliminate corrupt officials from the officialdom.

"Things that are not new have existed for so long that everyone has become accustomed to them. Everyone even thinks that His Majesty, who is sitting on the dragon throne in the capital of God, does not know about the sufferings of the people. How many years can it last?”

The middle-aged merchant didn't wait for the people to answer, then he thought to himself and said, "But His Majesty has not been in the divine capital all his life. One day he left the divine capital, can't he still see it?"

At this point, the people looked at each other in shock. They had never really thought about the fact that His Majesty the Emperor, who was so high in the Divine Capital, would leave the Divine Capital one day.

"Your Majesty left the Divine Capital and went to Mobei, going 30,000 miles deep into Mobei to fight against the Demon Emperor!"

The middle-aged merchant took a sip of wine to soothe his throat, and then continued, "Which of your Majesty has ever been to the thirty thousand miles north of Mobei?"

Just hearing about the legendary figure made these people feel uneasy.

"Thirty thousand miles north of Mobei, did your Majesty go there alone?"

Someone asked, their words full of doubts.

The middle-aged merchant nodded, with yearning and admiration in his eyes, "There have been many heroes in this dynasty. I originally thought that His Majesty Lingzong was so talented and strategist, and only the first prince among his descendants could possibly match him. But who would have thought that His Majesty is now It’s actually exactly the same…”

He went 30,000 miles deep into Mobei, fought with the Demon Emperor, and escaped with his whole body. After that, he went all the way south and fought his way through the entire siege of the Demon Clan. Just listening to these stories about such a human king would make people's blood boil. If he saw it with his own eyes See, what will it be like?

The middle-aged businessman drank the whole pot of wine, pondered it carefully, and finally smacked his lips with endless aftertaste.

…

…

While everyone was sitting around here, a middle-aged Taoist wearing a Taoist robe walked leisurely from the second floor of the restaurant. He had an ordinary appearance, but his appearance was full of renunciation. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person. .

He came to the second floor, stood outside the group of people and listened for a moment, then walked to a table on the second floor and sat down, face to face with a man.

He looked at the hot tea on the table and said with some emotion, "Your Majesty is your Majesty after all. In the past few years, we have underestimated your Majesty."

The man glanced at the middle-aged Taoist in front of him and also

He chuckled and said, "I thought about it, but I really didn't expect that the temple owner would come in person."

The two people have never really met each other, but now that they meet, they already know the identity of the other person.

One is the current emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and the other is the most respected master of Chixin Guan in the current world of outside cultivation.

A human king and a Taoist leader, the two are actually very equal in terms of realm and status. 🄲

But is the current Emperor Liang seriously injured, and is the viewer in front of him still in his prime?

The master of the temple said softly, "Your Majesty's return from 30,000 miles away from Mobei has really made our human race famous. If Your Majesty were a cultivator outside the country, I am afraid that your reputation would be above that of Pindao now."

Emperor Liang was unmoved and just looked at the pot of hot tea on the table. Even if the viewer appeared here, he could not let the emperor pour tea for him personally.

The visitor smiled understandingly and said, "How is your Majesty's dragon body?"

After all, this is a sentence full of murderous intent.

Naturally, this viewer came all the way from thousands of miles away just to meet the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty. After all, based on his status, there is no one in the world worthy of him meeting in person. , he has not even come out of the Infatuation Temple in these years. Regarding this temple master, most of the monks outside the country cannot figure out his current state.

But everyone knows that the current temple owner must be a figure at the end of Wangyou, a real Taoist master.

Emperor Liang's return from Mobei had already proven his strength.

Is there a fight between the two now?

Emperor Daliang looked at the viewer in silence and said calmly, "It's not easy to walk back from Mobei, not to mention the assassination in Xuanling County, but Gan Yong's last sword had the style of a great swordsman after all. "

The viewer did not comment, but said slowly, "Half a century ago, Gan Yong was a swordsman and ignored the world's sword cultivators. After all, he had some talent, and at that age, there is no problem in being crazy. It's just that he forgot that the world's sword cultivators , after all, we have to look up to that high mountain. Who is a true swordsman if he is a swordsman? So it is reasonable for Gan Yong to become blind later. However, Pindao did not expect that he could penetrate that realm with his last sword. ”

It was hard to say whether anyone was secretly watching the assassination in Xuanling County, but things in the world that he, the Master of the Infatuated View, wanted to know could rarely be hidden from him.

Emperor Liang said, "That's why I want to see that sword, otherwise how could he use it?"

The viewer laughed and said nothing. He naturally did not think that Emperor Liang was talking big words. He later reviewed the assassination. Neither the Buddhist Vajra nor the Taoist old man was actually a murderer. The character that really matters is Gan Yong, the swordsman. When and how he draws his sword will have a great impact on the battle situation.

It's just a pity that Gan Yong, who has only half a dozen swordsmanship skills, failed to meet the expectations in the end.

"Actually, Pindao often wants to test how powerful the world's best warriors are, Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang looked at the viewer and did not speak immediately.

The viewer continued to look at the pot of tea, watching the white mist float up and gradually dissipate between the two of them.

But after a while, those white dissipated

The fog suddenly condensed in the air and turned into white threads in front of the two of them.

The master of the temple smiled and said, "There are thousands of Taoist teachings. In the first half of his life, this poor Taoist thought that it was enough to practice one perfect Taoist teaching in his lifetime. But after practicing for many years, he couldn't move forward. So he had nothing to do. In the Three Thousand Taoist Treasures I have searched for many Taoist methods to continue practicing. Some Taoist methods are difficult to learn, and I don’t know how powerful they are after practicing them. I would like to ask Your Majesty to try them.”

Looking at the threads in front of him, Emperor Daliang remained silent, but when the threads rushed toward his body, they suddenly broke and turned into smoke again.

There was some light in the viewer's eyes. Looking at this scene, he seemed to be much more excited than before, but then his eyes became a little dim again.

Such emotions appeared and dissipated quickly on his face, changing very quickly.

The viewer waved his sleeves and all the fog dispersed. He asked, "I have a question for your Majesty."

Emperor Liang shook his head, "It's difficult."

Both of them are absolutely smart people in this world, and they both understand what the other person means without having to say it clearly.

The viewer sighed, "Wrong timing?"

Emperor Liang said, "He is more powerful than you think."

The temple owner said, "Then it will be like this in the next few years."

Emperor Liang shook his head.

All like this.

Not so.

The viewer frowned and said, "Are you doing it knowing you can't do it?"

Emperor Liang said calmly, "If you don't do it, you don't know what the result will be."

After hearing this, the viewer pondered for a long time, but Emperor Liang never made any move.

Maybe the people on the sidelines don't know, nor do the people in Huangni Town, that if there is a bad relationship between these two people, the situation in the entire Liang Dynasty may change today.

The viewer suddenly said, "This town has never been invaded by monsters in more than two hundred years. It used to be strange, but now it doesn't feel strange anymore."

Emperor Liang explained the reason in one sentence, "More than two hundred years ago, a great swordsman died here, leaving his sword spirit on his sword. That sword happened to be called Huangni."

Ordinary people naturally don't know that somewhere in this town there is actually a flying sword of the previous Great Sword Immortal, and they can't sense the sword intent that fills the world all the time, which is the root of the fear of monsters. Of course, this was also the reason why Emperor Liang decided to settle here.

Whether it was the sword of Gan Yong that he wanted to see before, or whether he chose to wait for the viewer here now, it was the style of the sword that Emperor Liang longed for in his heart.

The viewer sighed with emotion, "Your Majesty is a little out of his mind."

Emperor Liang didn't take it seriously, "It's hard to get out of the capital of the gods, how can I not be motivated for once? It's a rare opportunity."

The visitor asked, "Your Majesty, are you not afraid that this will be the last time?"

Emperor Liang smiled and said, "I'm also afraid that this will be the last time, so I have to act more emotionally."

The viewer stopped talking. The middle-aged Taoist stared at Emperor Liang in front of him, his eyes becoming extremely complicated.

Emperor Liang finally picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

Still didn't pour tea for the viewer opposite.
