"Wenhao, Little Yu 'er, why did you two come to Dragon Gate?"
After talking to Wang Renbiao, Li Zexuan finally looked at Meng Wenhao and Li Yu. To be honest, he was a little surprised to see these two little guys.
Meng Wenhao stepped forward and replied, "Yamachō, His Majesty was furious when he learned that the books of the Academy were stolen. He ordered General Qin, General Cheng, and General Yuchi to lead 10,000 light cavalry to chase after Wu Jie. In order to keep in touch with you and Chang 'an City, His Majesty allowed General Qin and the others to carry a telegraph, but no one in the army knew how to use it. Later, General Cheng chose me, so I came with the army!"
"En!"
Li Zexuan nodded, then looked at Li Yu and asked, "Little Yu 'er, what about you? You're just a weak girl, you didn't come with the army, right? "
"Sir, I …"
Little Yu 'er opened her mouth and looked embarrassed. In front of so many people, she couldn't say that she came here to look for Wu Jie, could she? If she really said that, she didn't know how many strange looks she would receive!
"Yamachō, Little Yu 'er didn't come with the army. She came here by herself. She was worried about your safety and wanted to see you in person!"
Seeing Li Yu's embarrassed face, Meng Wenhao, who knew the inside story, quickly explained.
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed, and he nodded thoughtfully, "En! Little Yu 'er, thank you for your concern! "
"Uh, Sir, it's good that you're okay!"
Li Yu's expression was unnatural, and she quickly replied.
Li Zexuan then turned his eyes to Xue Rengui, and he said in surprise, "Rengui? Why are you here? "
During the day, he had bumped into Xue Rengui in the mountains, and the two of them had hit it off. He had also extended an olive branch to Xue Rengui. However, Xue Rengui had no intention of joining the army, and he had an arrogant personality. He did not want to climb up the social ladder, so he did not force him.
But he didn't expect to meet Xue Rengui so soon!
"Rengui greets Marquis!"
Xue Rengui first cupped his fist and bowed to Li Zexuan. Then, he began to explain, "Around midnight, someone in the village saw a fire in the direction of Longmen Pass. They heard from me that you, Marquis, were also at Longmen Pass, so they wanted to come and help! My speed was fast and I was one step ahead. The young men of the village followed behind me. When I arrived at Longmen Pass, I happened to see the Tujue State Preceptor bombarding the city gate. Thus, I followed Adjunct Fang to defend the city! "
At this time, Wang Renbiao couldn't help but interject with a smile, "Little Xuan, you don't know, but Rengui relied on his superb archery skills to block Wu Jie's first attack on the city wall, and forcibly destroyed 30% of Wu Jie's first attack! If it wasn't for him, I reckon the Longmen Pass wouldn't have lasted until Daoist Master Xuan Qing and the Qizhou army arrived! "
Xue Rengui hurriedly replied, "Governor Wang, you flatter me. I just happen to possess brute strength!"
Li Zexuan smiled knowingly and said, "Haha! Rengui, you don't have to be humble. Your archery skills can definitely be ranked in the top three among all the people I know. This time, it's all thanks to your help in defending Longmen Pass! When we return to Chang 'an, I will ask for a reward for you! "
Xue Rengui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Marquis, Rengui didn't do anything, and I don't dare to be greedy for it. Rengui's actions are not only defending Longmen Pass, but also protecting hundreds of lives in Xiu Village!"
Seeing Xue Rengui's sincere face, Li Zexuan sighed with pity and said, "Fine! Since Rengui insists, I won't force you! If you change your mind in the future, feel free to tell me! "
"Mm!"
Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Marquis, it's getting late. Rengui will take his leave now and bring the villagers back to the village!"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said, "The villagers didn't care about the danger and came to Longmen Pass to help. I'm very touched. I'll also go and say goodbye to the villagers and thank them!"
In the face of the ferocious and brutal Turkic Wolf Cavalry, these powerless villagers actually dared to pick up weapons and come to Longmen Pass to participate in the defense of the city. How could Li Zexuan not be moved? The human heart was made of flesh!
Xue Rengui hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Marquis, you're too kind. If it wasn't for your Sky Rooster Brigade, all the crops in Longmen County would have been eaten by the locusts. The villagers are willing to defend Longmen Pass because they respect you and want to repay your kindness! I'm not worthy of your gratitude! "
Li Zexuan's heart skipped a beat. Only then did he remember that the Sky Rooster Brigade led by Li Ke had indeed passed through Jiangzhou in the "marching route" that he had drawn up for the Sky Rooster Brigade. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Sky Rooster Brigade was entrusted by His Majesty to exterminate the locusts. They didn't just exterminate the locusts in Jiangzhou. The villagers are willing to risk their lives for me because of this. I have to accept this kindness no matter what. Rengui, quick, lead the way!"
Xue Rengui saw that he couldn't refuse and could only nod and say, "Alright! Marquis, follow me! "
"Mm!"
The two of them walked out of the turret one after the other.
Wang Renbiao, Li Yu, and Meng Wenhao looked at each other and followed them.
…
"The ground under our feet is round? Sunlight is made of seven colors? Energy is conserved? Running water can generate electricity, and electricity can be used to emit light? The reaction of many substances to produce new substances is called a chemical reaction? Also, what kind of words were these scribbles? It's really strange. Where did Xiaoxuan learn these things from? "
In a turret on the east side of Longmen Pass, Xuan Qing flipped through the books on the table and couldn't help muttering to himself.
These books were the top secret information of Yanhuang College that Li Zexuan had snatched from Wu Jie. There were drawings, plans for the trump card project, some teaching materials, and some key parameters of important projects!
These things were previously placed in the cellar with Li Zexuan. However, Xuan Qing was a clean freak. He disliked the dirty, messy, and poor environment of the cellar, so he asked Hong Wenxing to send people to move all the books in the cellar to the east side of the turret.
However, after seeing the contents of the information, Xuan Qing's heart was suddenly filled with doubts. He had never heard of the knowledge involved in these books before, and he was very sure that Spiritual Master Ling Xu didn't know these things!
Spiritual Master Ling Xu came and went without a trace. Not many people had contact with him, but Xuan Qing was definitely one of the few people who had contact with Spiritual Master Ling Xu the most. Therefore, after seeing the contents of these books, Xuan Qing was even more certain that there was a "problem" with Li Zexuan in front of him!
Xuan Qing couldn't help but recall the conversation that Li Zexuan had when he just woke up in the room,
"You brat, it's time to wake up, right?"
"Oh! It's Junior Uncle! Li Zexuan greets Junior Uncle! "
"Hmph! Do you still remember me, your Junior Uncle? Do you still remember your sect? "
"I'm afraid! Although I went down the mountain to help the world, I didn't forget my identity at all times. I not only accumulated virtue and did good deeds, but also preached Taoism among the people. Because of the busy affairs of the academy, and the Emperor also assigned me a lot of official duties, I couldn't return to the sect to visit Junior Uncle and the head of the sect for a long time. I'm ashamed! "
"Hmph! You still have some conscience! But the one you should visit the most is your master! Senior Brother has no children. He not only treats you as a disciple, but also as his own child. He gave everything to you. You can't be ungrateful! "
"Junior Uncle, you're right! When this matter is over, I will personally go to Mount Longhu and kowtow in front of Master's tomb to apologize! "
"… Hmm! Little Xuan, let me ask you. When you went down the mountain, you were still at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, but now you're at the peak of the Zongshi realm. After my observation, I found that when you broke through the realm, the way you broke through was different from other warriors. Tell me honestly, did you practice some evil skills? "
"… Martial Uncle, you've wronged me. Although I'm not a benevolent and virtuous person, I'm still in awe of Heaven and Earth and all living beings. Everything I've learned comes from Master. After Master passed away, I've encountered several life-or-death situations. In those desperate situations, I've gained some special insights into the martial way. Perhaps it's because of these insights that my way of breaking through realms is different from ordinary people?"
"Well … Are you willing to let me check your meridians? Don't misunderstand. I don't mean any harm. It's just that the Celestial Master Taoism has always been a righteous sect. We can't have evil people. I have to make sure that you don't stray into the evil path! "
"Junior Uncle, you don't have to explain. You saved my life. If you want to check my meridians, go ahead. I have a clear conscience and will never resist!"
"Good! Then I'm being rude … Well, the path of Genuine Qi is indeed the path of the Taixuan Sutra, and the Genuine Qi is also pure Taoist Genuine Qi. It seems that you've always been firm in your Taoist heart. I've wronged you! Hmm? No! Why do you have such pure Genuine Qi in your body? "
"Genuine Qi? Junior Uncle, what is Genuine Qi? "
"You don't know Genuine Qi? Then why do you have Genuine Qi in your body?"
"This … I don't know!"
"The capacity of a person's Dantian is limited. When one reaches the peak of the Zongshi realm, True Qi will fill the entire Dantian. One needs to use a secret method to condense True Qi and turn it into True Essence. Coupled with one's own martial arts comprehension, only then can one break through to the Zongshi realm! This Genuine Qi is unique to the Supreme Power Realm … Okay! You've just recovered from your serious injury. Take the time to adjust your Qi-circulation! There are a few people outside. They should be looking for you. I'll leave first! "
"Thank you, Junior Uncle. Take care!"
…
"It makes sense that this child's Kung Fu has improved by leaps and bounds. But where does this strange knowledge come from? Along the way, I have more or less heard of Yanhuang Academy. The commoners say that they impart knowledge of engineering! Engineering, what kind of knowledge is that? Why haven't I heard Senior Brother mention it? "
Recovering from his contemplation, Xuan Qing's eyes became more and more confused.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!"
At this moment, five gongs and drums sounded under the city tower. Xuan Qing was stunned and murmured, "It's already five o 'clock! Forget it! As long as this child is on the right path and doesn't do anything harmful, I don't have to worry about it! "
After that, Xuan Qing closed the book in his hand and walked to the bed next to him.
As Li Zexuan's Junior Martial Uncle and the flag bearer of Mount Longhu's Celestial Master Sect, Xuan Qing received some preferential treatment here. He had a separate space to rest, unlike the other ordinary soldiers who could only sleep in tents!
On the other side, after Li Zexuan received and persuaded the nearby villagers who came to support Longmen Pass, he urged the people around him to disperse and rest. He returned to the turret and planned to wait quietly for Cheng Yaojin and the others to come back.
Previously, with the help of Xuan Qing's power and some of his own comprehension, he broke through to the Supreme Power Late-stage. Now he was full of energy and couldn't fall asleep even if he lay on the bed. He simply sat on the bed and began to run the eighth level of Taixuan Sutra to feel the new realm!
"Sir, have you rested?"
After about a quarter of an hour, Little Yu 'er's voice came from outside the door. Li Zexuan's heart skipped a beat and quickly stopped. Then he said softly, "Come in!"
When he just woke up, he saw that Li Yu's expression was a little strange. He always felt that this girl was hiding something. Now that Li Yu took the initiative to come to him, he guessed that she was going to take the initiative to "lay her cards" on the table.
With a creak, Li Yu pushed the door and entered. Then she turned around and closed the door. Then she walked quietly to Li Zexuan and said with a guilty face, "Sir, you have just recovered from a serious injury. Did I disturb your rest?"
Li Zexuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay! I'm not sleepy now. Little Yu 'er, you are still awake. Is there something on your mind? "
"Yes!"
Li Yu nodded and replied, "Yes." Then she bit her lips and said softly, "Sir, you've met the Tujue State Preceptor before. Can you tell me what kind of person he is?"
"National Master of the Tujue National Master?"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but be surprised. Then he asked with some confusion, "Little Yu 'er, why are you asking about the National Master?"
Li Yu's face froze. After hesitating for a moment, she replied, "Sir, the National Master of the Tujue National Master may know the whereabouts of my biological parents, so …"
"What? Wu Jie knows the whereabouts of your parents? Little Yu 'er, who told you this? "
Li Zexuan was shocked. His eyes flashed with disbelief.
Regarding Li Yu's background, he had always sent people to secretly search for it. According to the jade bracelet on Li Yu's wrist, Li Yu's parents must have been very rich. So Li Zexuan had always sent people to ask around Chang 'an if there were any rich families who had lost their children more than ten years ago. There were quite a few people who met this condition, but when he asked them face to face, none of them met this condition!
After searching for so long in Chang 'an without finding any useful clues, Li Zexuan never thought that Li Yu's parents would have some kind of connection with Wu Jie. How could he not be shocked?
Seeing Li Zexuan's disbelief, Li Yu explained seriously.
"Sir, this is what Wu Jie told me personally! Two nights ago, the Academy was attacked. Mr. Mo, the two Dugu Generals, and Mr. Zhang San, who had gone out to sea but secretly returned, were all defeated by the Turkic Imperial Preceptor. In the end, the Turkic Imperial Preceptor even wanted to kill Mr. Zhang San … "
