Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 251
‘Specialize in grabbing eight big items? ’
After hearing Xu Wen’s words, Li Rui raised his eyebrows.
When he was young, he followed the Zhu family’s caravan on many business trips.
It is said that caravans are afraid of robbers, but in fact robbers are also afraid of caravans.
Do you think caravans are all weak merchants?
No.
Almost all caravans pay a lot of money to hire martial artists to guard them.
Unless the realm is too different, if you really want to take action, life or death is still unknown. No one’s life is free. The robbers want money, but they don’t really want to risk their lives every day.
Generally speaking.
The caravans would give some peace silver as a token of peace and prosperity, and the bandits were happy to make money without doing anything, and some moral ones would even escort them for a part of the journey.
Do you only pick hard persimmons?
This kind of bandit is not looking for money at first glance.
Xu Wen lowered his voice: “Brother Li, just investigate this matter slowly. I heard that among the goods at the Changkong Meeting there were other elders’ private goods. That person had some background, but he had the same temperament as Elder Sun. No, Elder Sun went to Mr. Yan because of his power.”
Li Rui smiled:
“Master Xu, thank you for your advice.”
He could tell something was wrong just now.
When did the eight major sects in the city become so obedient?
His caravan was robbed, and he killed the bandits without taking his own men. The first thing he thought of was to report the crime.
What a strange thing.
Now that Xu Wen said this, it became clear.
If not for Yan Zhongxing and Elder Sun from the Changkong Club, one could become the chief officer of the Trade Department, and the other could be the chief officer of the Changkong Club in Qinghe.
Highlight a business that should be done with business.
Yan Zhongxing seems to be vigorous and resolute, but in fact it is all just acting.
There are many people in the market, so of course there are people from the Changkong Club.
This scene will definitely reach the ears of the elder who has a strong support, and then if the matter can be handled, then it will be handled. If it cannot be handled, then it will be done as best as possible.
Just a performance.
Xu Wen then chatted with Li Rui for a while.
Seeing that Li Rui really didn’t take it to heart, he left with satisfaction.
soon.
Li Rui was the only one left in the room, and his body was in the shadows.
“coincide?”
“Not coming out?”
County government office.
Zhuang Renhe narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Yes, we deliberately exposed our whereabouts, but Li Rui didn’t take the bait. He just sent a few people to investigate. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we have not taken action against the people of An Ningwei for the time being.”
A capable man said.
He is Zhuang Renhe’s confidant and the leader of the group of horse thieves outside the city.
“Okay, I get it.”
“Then make a big noise. I won’t believe he won’t leave the city.”
A cold light flashed in Zhuang Renhe’s eyes.
“yes.”
The capable man drank, then turned and left.
Zhuang Renhe was the only one left in the room, his face uncertain.
“Is it possible that he noticed something?”
“impossible.”
“If you are not a god, you can still seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. It should be because you are too lazy to do anything.”
“But whether you can leave the city or not is not up to you!”
Zhuang Renhe’s nose twitched slightly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
If he wants to obtain immortal energy, he must first capture Li Rui alive. As long as he can capture Li Rui, he has no less than thirty ways to make Li Rui speak.
Li Rui, as the Simao Colonel of the Anning Guard, would definitely arouse suspicion in others if he took action in the city.
But if it’s outside the city, especially on official roads, it’s different.
It’s called martyrdom.
A Simao captain died in an attack by a master from the Wu Kingdom in order to protect the trade between the two countries.
This sounds reasonable, right?
When the time comes that there is no intact body left, Zhuang Renhe will pay homage to Li Rui’s tomb, and even help him get a memorial memorial for his loyalty and bravery.
It’s a pity that I heard that Li Rui had no children, otherwise he could have been blessed for hundreds of years and protected future generations.
When you think about it, it’s simply a good idea.
At that time, Zhuang Renhe will also be able to gain another contribution to the court.
Eat two for one fish.
Zhuang Renhe felt a little excited when he thought about what he was about to get.
“Fairy spirit.”
“Master, Elder Shi from Shenbing Villa wants to see you.”
“not see.”
“Master, Mr. Yan from the Commercial Department is here.”
“I went crazy in my practice, so I disappeared.”
“Master.”
Wang Zhao no longer knew which wave of people came to see Li Rui. The threshold of Li Rui’s house in An Ningwei was almost broken by those people. The scene was more lively than New Year’s greetings.
He was already a powerful person when he gave his name.
Not counting those small sects.
“Master, General Cao wants to see you.”
Li Rui groaned: “Invite General Cao in.”
Soon.
Wang Zhao led Cao Wei into the room.
Cao Wei clasped his hands behind his back, lying on the bed with a smile but not a smile, and Li Rui looked pale.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
“You are really crazy. Mr. Li is really practicing this at the right time.”
these days.
The people who were looking for Li Rui have already found him. It is the responsibility of the Anning Guard to quell the bandits and protect the peace of the trade routes. As the chief officer of the Anning Guard, of course he has to come and ask.
Li Rui trembled and tried to get up.
But it’s not enough.
“Xiaozhao, help me up.”
Just as Wang Zhao was about to step forward to help him, he was interrupted by Cao Wei: “Mr. Li has gone crazy, so please don’t use etiquette.”
The corner of Cao Wei’s mouth raised:
“Master Li, I originally wanted to discuss with you the mountain bandits outside the city.”
There were so many people coming to see him that even Yan Zhongxing from the Commercial Department came to inquire in person. Naturally, he had to give an explanation.
Li Rui coughed twice:
“Lord Cao, you can rest assured. I have already contacted Lord Dao from the Wu Kingdom. Those bandits are from the Wu Kingdom. Lord Dao will handle it on your behalf.”
Hearing Li Rui’s words.
Cao Wei’s expression relaxed slightly.
Pretending to be sick doesn’t work with him.
Not to mention Li Rui is still Jiang Linxian’s man, not even Feng Yu and Guan Xinrong.
An Ningwei is not one of those weak civil servants.
Wherever there is a saying that you can stop working when you are sick, the An Ning Guard is an army, and the place where it is is the battlefield.
On the battlefield, let alone being sick, even if you have a broken leg, you still have to go.
“Since Mr. Li already has a countermeasure, that’s fine.”
Cao Wei nodded with satisfaction.
He didn’t go out of his way to make things difficult for Li Rui because he belonged to different camps.
It doesn’t matter whether Li Rui went crazy by chance or on purpose.
The key is that if you completely let go, who will take care of it? Should he, a general, take care of it himself?
Li Rui didn’t take action himself, but through his connections, he asked the stronger Dao Mo to take action on his behalf. Regardless of whether the matter could be accomplished or not, he should at least do it first.
Whether you can succeed or not is a question of ability.
But if you don’t think of countermeasures at all, it’s a matter of attitude.
Attitude is very important.
Although Cao Wei is the chief official, he cannot do everything himself and needs his subordinates to work hard.
“Okay, then I won’t disturb Mr. Li and continue to rest.”
Li Rui smiled: “Xiao Zhao, send Master Cao off for me.”
“yes.”
After a while.
Wang Zhao then left and returned.
He blinked his eyes. Although he was not good at observing words and expressions, he could clearly feel that Mr. Cao was very aggressive when he came and had the attitude of launching an army to accuse him. When he left, he was in a much better mood.
“Master, did Mr. Cao want to cause trouble for Master just now?”
Wang Zhao asked out his doubts.
“More than just trouble.”
Li Rui chuckled: “He is here to punish me.”
“Condemned!”
Wang Zhao couldn’t help being shocked. He didn’t expect that Li Rui and Cao Wei were so peaceful on the surface, but they were so dangerous secretly.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
“Okay, Xiaozhao, if anyone else comes later, they won’t be there.”
“Yes, Master.”
Finished the order.
Li Rui closed his eyes and lay back on the bed.
The sound of a door closing sounded in my ears.
The room quickly returned to its previous quiet state.
Pretending to be sick may be very useful for ordinary soldiers. As long as the flag on the head is not serious, it can be fooled.
But when you reach the level of an officer, the situation is different.
As long as he’s not dead, I’ll still lift him up for you.
If he is found to be pretending to be ill, he will be dealt with by military law and will never be treated as easily as a civilian official.
So it is true that Li Rui went crazy.
When he suppressed Dao Xie, he actually deliberately left a trace of it. He originally thought he could use it by pretending to be sick later, but he didn’t expect to use it so soon.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for Cao Wei to leave today.
In addition, Cao Wei must be given a step up, or an excuse.
After all, Cao Wei also needs to give an explanation to others.
If he fails to do any of these things, Cao Wei will definitely pull him out of the hospital bed today.
In a void.
A cloud of blood-red smoke was particularly dazzling.
“So who is it?”
The reason why Li Rui would rather go crazy than leave the city is of course because of the early warning.
Reconnect with recent events.
He was almost certain that someone was deliberately trying to lure him out of the city.
The question is just who is that person.
The enemy’s situation is unknown, and it would be foolish to act rashly at this time. All Li Rui has to do is wait.
Wait for the enemy to show his weakness.
The more the enemy wants him to do something, the more he won’t do it.
Since he was asked to leave the city, he would simply not even leave the Anning Guard.
Use it up.
Anyway, Li Rui doesn’t have to go out now.
Thinking.
Unknowingly.
He fell into a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already on top of the dream cloud platform.
The celestial sword has appeared in his hand.
Li Rui found that practicing with the fairy sword seemed to make it easier to clarify his thoughts, so he used the fairy sword habitually.
“Double-shaped fusion, seamless attack and defense”
he thought.
Having two forms is a huge advantage. The dragon form is the main attack and the fairy form is the defense. They used to practice separately. Now that he has some free time, Li Rui thinks of incorporating both forms into his moves to compete with others. Fighting can also give you a better chance of winning.
The body follows the knife.
Li Rui’s every blow fell very slowly.
In other words, it is very careful, for fear of any slight deviation.
It looks like an old man doing morning exercises, without any killing power at all.
This process lasted for two hours.
The speed of Li Rui’s falling sword slowly increased at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. It was not until two hours later that the speed was almost the same as that of an ordinary warrior.
As the number of swings of the knife becomes faster and faster.
The immortal sword gradually turned into a shadow, like a ball of fire that enveloped him, and a fire dragon could be faintly seen flying!
gradually.
Li Rui’s sword skills became more and more messy, as if he was going crazy.
He gradually gave up his defense.
The blade of the blade was like a sledgehammer, hammering towards the void in front of him. Every time the blade fell, the cloud platform would tremble.
If Tie Kuang was present, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance.
Li Rui is clearly evolving his own hammer qi method.
That’s right.
He wants to integrate the secrets of the hammer qi method into his swordsmanship.
With the immortal form, Li Rui’s defense is far superior to that of ordinary warriors. This is a huge advantage that must be developed.
Slow at the beginning.
It is to create momentum.
Through the sword intent of the hammer qi method, the opponent is pulled in, and then when the sword intent accumulates to a certain level, it is like a mountain torrent, giving up defense and overwhelming the enemy.
When the enemy finds out that there is a problem.
It is too late.
The advantage of Li Rui’s high comprehension is reflected.
Other warriors can only rigidly practice the moves learned in the martial arts, but he can flexibly create the most suitable martial arts for himself based on his own advantages and combined with the martial arts he has learned.
In this way.
When fighting with warriors of the same realm, he can take the lead.
Killing people is not accumulated by a little bit of advantage.
Li Rui doesn’t like to take action.
But if he really wants to take action, he must ensure that the person who dies is not himself.
Otherwise, you will lose your life, what is the point of talking about immortality?
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
Dark night, blacksmith shop.
“Old Tie, you sleep with the knife in your arms every day, don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
Liu Tiezhu glanced at Tie Kuang.
Since the birth of the immortal sword, Tie Kuang has been keeping the sword with him all the time, watching him more closely than his own wife.
Tie Kuang rolled his eyes:
“You know shit, this is called nurturing.”
Liu Tiezhu did not believe what Old Tie said. In his opinion, as a countryman, it was just marrying a young wife when he was old, but he was reluctant to let her go.
Nurturing a hammer.
He wanted to touch the immortal sword several times, but was scolded by Old Tie.
It turned out that after the immortal sword was born, he, a meritorious official, could not touch it.
He was really angry.
“By the way, Tie Lao, what do you plan to name this sword?”
Since he called Tie Lao last time, he found that this name was more catchy, so he just continued to call him that, and Tie Kuang had no intention of asking him to change his name.
“Name it.”
For the first time, Tie Kuang was a little embarrassed.
He was an expert in both ironwork and beating people, but he suffered from the fact that he didn’t have much knowledge in his stomach. If the name was not domineering enough, it would be a loss for the immortal sword, so he never thought of naming it.
Just when the two were sitting on the stone steps of the blacksmith shop and chatting.
A man in a black robe came over.
Liu Tiezhu was alert: “Who is it?!”
Just when he was about to stand up and confront, the man in black robe took off his cloak and revealed his true face.
When he saw who was coming, Liu Tiezhu was a little surprised.
“Master?”
Li Rui didn’t look at Liu Tiezhu, but looked at Tie Kuang solemnly.
“Senior, I want to borrow a sword.”
