Chapter 138 Jiangdong Xuanyuan, Li Kui and Li Gui

"Crash!"

The clear river water rolls along, and the surging waves hit the embankment, making a deafening roar.

On the surface of the river, a small boat was moving slowly forward along the water.

On the small boat, Gao Changsheng stood at the bow, looking ahead with a dim gaze.

Behind him, a woman with dark spots on her face was staring at his back.

His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no word came out.

Of course, this woman is Yin Li.

She heard every word of the conversation between Gao Changsheng and Lieutenant General Li that day.

She also understood the general meaning from the other party's words.

But the other party's next move was beyond Yin Li's expectations.

Lingshe Island is in the Daming Sea, and Daming is located west of Liyang.

If they wanted to go to Ming Dynasty, they should go west through Beiliang and then go all the way west into Ming Dynasty.

But Gao Changsheng didn't seem to have any intention of going west. Instead, he took them east.

How could Yin Li not be anxious when seeing such a counterintuitive approach?

Of course she wanted to ask him face to face why he did this.

But until the end, I still didn't muster up the courage.

Yin Li saw everything when Gao Changsheng attacked Daiqisi.

Such a fierce mother-in-law, in front of Gao Changsheng, was as obedient as a Persian cat.

Those pictures had already left a shadow in Yin Li's heart.

If it wasn't for asking for help this time, she would never dare to come to see Gao Changsheng.

And this time, in order to meet Gao Changsheng, she went to Nanjing first.

Along the way, I had heard about Gao Changsheng's deeds during this period.

When he led his troops into battle, he would easily have hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of dead souls under his command.

Until now, the smell of blood under Shirakawa Castle has not dissipated yet?
That’s hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Just thinking about it for a moment, Yin Li felt his soul trembling.

Not to mention questioning such a vicious man, she would even feel cold all over every time his eyes swept over her.

So, even though her heart was bleeding with anxiety, she didn't dare to ask another question.

"Have you really decided to leave Liyang and go to Ming Dynasty?" Nangong Pushe on the other side spoke softly.

"good."

Gao Changsheng nodded. His previous words with Lieutenant General Li had actually made his attitude clear.

It just so happened that the Wang Yangming incident happened in the Ming Dynasty, and it suddenly became the center of all countries.

There will definitely be a lot of excitement.

And since the Dragon Slaying Sword involved ancient events, he really didn't want to let it go.

If it were any other time, it would be inconvenient for him to leave, but at this point in time, it was indeed a godsend opportunity.

"Just for that Dragon Slaying Sword?" Nangong Pushe raised his eyebrows.

"Not really. I'll have to go to Ming Dynasty sooner or later, so I might as well take this opportunity to go there." Gao Changsheng said with a smile.

A little bit of it was revealed in the words, but no details were given.

"Are you really not worried about Li Yang?"

"It doesn't matter. I have already made arrangements. If they make any moves, it will only make me happy." Gao Changsheng waved his hand.

Nangong Pushe raised his eyebrows again: "You who fight are really full of tricks."

Gao Changsheng didn't care either, he just looked up at the other person and said, "If Nangong doesn't want to follow me, he can stay in Liyang and pursue your martial arts."

Hearing this, Nangong Pushe shook his head:
"Originally, I was planning to go to Beiliang. I heard that there are countless martial arts secrets in Tingchao Pavilion, which will definitely help my martial arts."

"Oh? From what you said, you have changed your mind now?" Gao Changsheng exclaimed.

"good."

Nangong Pushe lightly tapped his forehead, his eyes suddenly burst into a gleam of light, and he looked straight at Gao Changsheng.

"On the road of martial arts, secret manuals are certainly important, but sometimes a true good teacher is definitely better than a thousand secret manuals."

"Now a sword master is standing in front of me, why should I go far away?" Nangong Pushe's eyes were burning.

"Haha, you're too kind, but I don't know how to teach my apprentices." Gao Changsheng laughed out loud.

"No need to teach. Whether it's martial arts or swordsmanship, the most important thing is never to learn, but to understand."

"Your sword intent and sword force are enough to show me the way." Nangong Pushe spoke word by word.

Even though it was Gao Changsheng, a hint of praise unconsciously flashed in his eyes.

Nangong Pushe is indeed a swordsman with an extremely pure heart for seeking the truth, and his talent is also top-notch.

"Okay, then I hope you can gain something from it, Nangong."

Yin Li, who was standing behind them, couldn't listen to a word of the conversation between the two, and the anxiety on his face had almost solidified into reality.

Gao Changsheng didn't care, but Nangong Pushe turned his head to take a look and then said:

"Are you planning to go to Ming Dynasty by water?"

"good."

Gao Changsheng nodded: "The land route takes too long, and it's not convenient to travel through mountains and rivers."

"Besides, the Spirit Snake Island where Daiqisi is is also on the sea. It would be more convenient to go directly by water."

After hearing this, Yin Li suddenly realized. No wonder they were heading east. It turned out that the other party had always focused on the water route.

However, when he looked down at the small boat beneath him, Yin Li's eyes showed doubt again.

She had experienced storms at sea and knew how terrible they were. It was basically wishful thinking to want to cross the sea with this shabby little boat.

The two people in front ignored Yin Li.

Nangong Pushe raised his head and said, "So our target is the Xuanyuan family?"

"Nangong also knows the Xuanyuan family?" Gao Changsheng asked with a smile.

"Longhu of Jiangxi, Xuanyuan of Jiangdong, their reputation is so great that everyone in Liyang doesn't know them."

Nangong Pushe stretched out his hand and smoothed the hair hanging down from his forehead:

"The path I set for myself before was to read hundreds of secret manuals to achieve my own path, so when I went out into the martial arts world, I did some research."

"In Liyang, when it comes to the richness of classics, the first places to mention are naturally Tai'an Imperial City and Shangyin Academy."

"But the former is simply impossible for ordinary people to find any way, and the Shangyin Academy is mostly filled with classics from hundreds of schools of thought, which is not in line with my path."

"Besides these two, it's Beiliang's Tingchao Pavilion and Xuanyuan's Wending Pavilion."

"The former is what Xu Xiao gained from his travels across the world, and the latter is what the Xuanyuan family has accumulated over hundreds and thousands of years. For warriors, both are treasures."

Gao Changsheng nodded: "I didn't expect Nangong to have his eyes on the Xuanyuan family. Why did he give up in the end? I think the Xuanyuan family should be easier to deal with than Beiliang, right?"

Hearing this, Nangong Pushe shook his head involuntarily.

"Although Xuanyuan Dapan, the astronomical ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, has preserved the reputation of the Xuanyuan family, he has also caused the reputation of the Xuanyuan family in the martial arts world to deteriorate."

"This is just the outside world. There are rumors that the Xuanyuan family is even more chaotic, so..."

Nangong Pushe didn't finish his words, but the disgust in his eyes said it all.

Gao Changsheng was not surprised. There has always been an airtight wall in the martial arts world, not to mention Xuanyuan Dapan's character. He never hides anything he does in the family.

It is only normal for the news to spread and be known by the underworld.

"You went to Xuanyuan's house for the boat?"

"Yes, we must have strong ships to go to sea." Gao Changsheng nodded: "Although the Great Sui has a navy, the distance is too far and we need to travel back and forth."

"Looking at Liyang, apart from the Liyang court, the Xuanyuan family who controls the water veins is the most suitable."

Nangong Pushe also nodded his forehead lightly.

With Gao Changsheng's current status and power, the Xuanyuan family would certainly not refuse if he just asked to borrow one or two sturdy ships.

Their family is not stupid and would not offend Gao Changsheng for such a small matter.

It is Longhu Mountain, which is separated from the Xuanyuan family by a river.

Nangong Pushe looked worried, Longhushan has always been a supporter of the Liyang royal family.

The four great heavenly masters on the mountain are well-known in the world, and no one knows how much background they have.

Given the current relationship between Gao Changsheng and Li Yang, if they were to detect his whereabouts, no one would be able to predict whether Longhu Mountain would take any action.

"what?"

Gao Changsheng didn't know that Nangong Pushe was worried about Longhu Mountain for him.

At this moment, he was looking at the river in front of him with surprise.

Nangong Pushe also turned her head quickly, and the next second her pupils shrank.

"Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, Zhao Xituan!"

Nangong Pushe was shocked. What he feared would come true.

She was just worried about Longhu Mountain, but in the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain appeared in front of her.

You have to know that although Zhao Xituan is quite low-key, he is not an ordinary person. He is an old Taoist priest who is one generation higher than the current head of Longhu Mountain. Now that the other party suddenly appeared here, who knows what his purpose is. It is hard to guarantee that Longhu Mountain has some thoughts about Gao Changsheng.

Thinking of this, Nangong Pushe involuntarily turned his head and looked at Gao Changsheng.

Then, she saw that Gao Changsheng was still looking her up and down with an interested expression.

Even with Nangong Pushe's state of mind, he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this scene.

With a light snort, Nangong Pushe turned his head again.

Then she discovered that Zhao Xituan on the opposite side did not seem to be coming towards them.

Because at this time Zhao Xituan was rowing a small boat and fishing on the river, and there was a child following him.

Nangong Pushe understood almost instantly why Gao Changsheng had such an expression.

Having followed Gao Changsheng for so long, Nangong Pushe must of course know Li Yuanba who is beside him.

"It is truly a miracle from heaven that there is a second person who possesses such a gifted physique. " Nangong Pushe couldn't help but murmur.

Nangong Pushe could tell at a glance that the child who followed Zhao Xituan was also born with supernatural powers. At first glance, he looked like a cut from the same mold as Li Yuanba.

"Interesting, really interesting, it's really fate."

Gao Changsheng smiled lightly.

Of course he knew the two people in the distance. The child was undoubtedly the second son of King Xu Xiao of Beiliang, Xu Longxiang.

This person in the original work should be portrayed based on Li Yuanba.

But in this world's Sui Dynasty, there is still a Li Yuanba.

This scene of Li Kui meeting Li Gui would arouse interest in everyone, especially someone like Gao Changsheng who knows the original novel.

"Since we are destined to meet here, let's go over and say hello."

"Nangong, Yuanba, let's go."

Gao Changsheng smiled lightly, then grabbed Li Yuanba's arm and put his other hand around Nangong Pushe's slender waist.

With a flash of his figure, he crossed the space directly and landed on Zhao Xituan's boat.

Even after he fell down and let go of his arms, Nangong Pushe beside him was still trembling slightly.

"You, who are you?"

Zhao Xituan was so frightened that he jumped up from the boat.

…………

At the foot of Longhu Mountain, in front of a simple thatched cottage, Zhao Xituan was touching the water cup with both hands and gulping down the water.

But it seemed that those big cups of water could not quench his thirst at all.

Even as his stomach became rounder at a speed visible to the naked eye, his lips and throat still felt dry and hot.

His eyes gently swept across the face of Gao Changsheng next to him.

Zhao Xituan swallowed again.

How could he not know this person?

This was the villain who wiped out all the Imperial Guards in one battle, directly causing a shock to the fate of Li Yang.

The fortunes of Longhu Mountain and the Zhao family of Liyang are connected. When the fortune of Liyang was shaken, the golden lotus of fortune in their Longhu Mountain lotus pond also shook.

The four great celestial masters used almost all their strength to barely keep the golden lotus from dissipating.

Nangong Pushe was right. There were indeed people on Longhu Mountain who hated Gao Changsheng to the core, and some people even advocated taking action against him.

But this definitely does not include Zhao Xituan.

As for why, it’s just one sentence: I can’t afford to offend you.

Although the four great heavenly masters of Mount Longhu are famous, except for Zhao Danping who is at the level of Zhixuan, the other three are only at the level of Tianxiang.

However, Zhao Xituan knew his own capabilities. They in Longhu Mountain practiced the Way of Heaven, and because they were valued by Li Yang, their luck continued. Several great heavenly masters broke into the celestial realm one after another.

But in terms of real combat power, he can never compare to the fierce god Gao Changsheng.

Therefore, if they wanted to take action against Gao Changsheng, they could only ask the ancestors in the mountains or other people for help.

This has always been opposed by Zhao Xituan.

Of course, Zhao Xituan would definitely not say these things at this time.

But when Zhao Xituan saw Gao Changsheng suddenly appear in front of him, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

At this time, he didn't know that Gao Changsheng had already learned Gu Jiantang's Fang Cun Lei. If he knew, he would probably scream out his life involuntarily.

"Gudong."

Zhao Xituan took another sip of water, turned to look at Gao Changsheng, and spoke with some stammering:
"General Gao, isn't it time to ask them to stop?"

"How can this go on?"

Looking around, I saw two half-grown children fighting in the two open spaces in front.

Although the moves were not very sophisticated, the energy generated by his every move was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Every time he swung his fist, there were bursts of sharp sounds of breaking through the air all around.

It was Li Yuanba and Xu Longxiang.

At this moment, Li Yuanba was obviously extremely excited, and he had already thrown aside a pair of golden hammers.

He was fighting with Xu Longxiang with his fists raised.

"Hey, these are just kids fighting, why is Master Zhao worried?" Gao Changsheng smiled and waved his hands.

Hearing this, Zhao Xituan couldn't help but tremble his lips.

Of course, you don’t need to care about children’s fighting, but everyone will feel sorry for their children.

Although Xu Longxiang and Li Yuanba were both born with supernatural powers and excellent physiques.

But Li Yuanba had been on the battlefield and had killed countless people.

In terms of ferocity and murderous aura, even if three Xu Longxiang were added together, they could not compare to Li Yuanba.

And although Li Yuanba is mentally retarded, he was basically born for fighting.

Many of the skills required in combat seem to come from instinct.

Although the two had only fought for less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Longxiang had already been hit several times all over his body.

Although Xu Longxiang has excellent physique, Li Yuanba is still better than him.

With all the strength he throws, you can imagine what effect the punch will have on someone's body.

Looking at the apprentice who already had a bruised face and nose in just a few moments.

Zhao Xituan felt as if his heart was bleeding.

But if we try to stop it, it would be obvious that we cannot afford to lose.

The two people in the field were just children fighting, no matter how you look at it. If Zhao Xituan took action, it would be obvious that he was not in the right.

Besides, Gao Changsheng is still sitting next to him. If I take action myself, wouldn’t that be giving the other party an excuse to take action?
"Alright, Yuanba is almost done, stop it."

Finally, Gao Changsheng spoke with a smile and stopped Li Yuanba.

At this time, Xu Longxiang's steps were shaking, and his face was so swollen that it was no longer recognizable.

"brush."

Almost at the moment Gao Changsheng opened his mouth, Zhao Xituan disappeared from the spot and came to Xu Longxiang's side.

"Long Xiang, are you okay?"

Xu Longxiang shook his head. Although he was beaten badly, it was only a superficial wound and no internal injuries occurred.

However, when Xu Longxiang saw Li Yuanba's thin face with a smile, his eyes were filled with deep fear unconsciously.

"call……"

Zhao Xituan let out a long sigh, then turned to look at Gao Changsheng.

"I wonder what brings you here, General Gao? What are you doing here?"

"Haha, if I say that I came to Longhu Mountain specifically for a visit, what do you think, Master Zhao?"

Although it was just a light sentence, Zhao Xituan felt as if a fierce aura instantly enveloped him.

I couldn't help but shiver.

"General Gao, you are joking, you are joking."

"However, if the general is really curious about Mount Longhu, I can be your guide."

Zhao Xituan forced himself to speak.

"Hahaha."

Gao Changsheng laughed out loud: "There will be a chance. Longhu Mountain is so famous, how can I not go and see it in person? One day he will trouble Master Zhao Tianshi."

Hearing this, Zhao Xituan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but an indescribable premonition arose in his heart.

"Forget it. Today's interest is over. I'll say goodbye. Yuanba, Nangong, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xituan stood up almost instantly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his old face.

"I respectfully send off General Gao."

After hearing this, even Nangong Pushe smiled.

Of course, Zhao Xituan's nervousness and fear could not be hidden from others.

I originally thought that all the Heavenly Masters of Mount Longhu were high and mighty, but now it seems that this Zhao Xituan is actually a wonderful person.
