"The world's number one swordmaster?
Li Lu was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
This skinny man was actually the number one swordmaster in the world?
Li Lu wanted to retort, but after witnessing Wang Yue's swordsmanship, he just pursed his lips and didn't say anything. As for the Hanzhong officials in the hall, their eyes were filled with admiration. Zhang Feng and Yu Qiong were two sword experts under Li Lu's command. They didn't expect to be defeated by this unattractive old man in one move. It was really unbelievable. Li Lu's eyes turned and he looked at Wang Yue." May I ask how I should address you, sir?" After he finished speaking, Li Lu looked at Cong Yang provocatively. Towards this, Cong Yang only smiled slightly. Was he trying to sow discord between Wang Yue and him? Wang Yue's Hero Tower had already been handed over to Cong Yang. How could he betray him and become Li Lu's subordinate?
"Wang Yue, Wang Ziwu! Wang Yue cupped his hands in response and sat humbly behind Cong Yang. Li Lu's gaze bypassed Cong Yang and asked Wang Yue," Sir, there are still a few useless swordsmen in my residence. I wonder if you could come to my residence for a banquet another day and teach those useless swordsmen. What do you think?" Wang Yue looked straight ahead and said seriously," Lord Li, it's better to just call Wang Yue by his name. As a subordinate of the lord, Wang Yue will listen to the lord's arrangements. If Lord Li has anything to discuss, you can discuss it with the lord. There's no need to ask Wang Yue." Li Lu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger. He didn't know how to appreciate favors. However, this did not affect Li Lu's intention to sow discord between Cong Yang and Wang Yue. He looked at Cong Yang and said," Lord Cong, I would like to have a chat with you. What do you think?" As soon as Li Lu finished speaking, all eyes fell on Cong Yang. Cong Yang only smiled faintly. He naturally understood Li Lu's intentions. If Wang Yue went to Li Lu's residence for a banquet and did not invite Cong Yang, it would cause a rift between Cong Yang and Wang Yue. If Cong Yang did not allow Wang Yue to attend the banquet, it would seem like Cong Yang was not magnanimous. Both options would be disadvantageous to Cong Yang. Unfortunately, Li Lu found the wrong target. Cong Yang smiled and said," Lord Li, Ziwu's swordsmanship is divine. Such a unique swordsmanship skill is not something that ordinary people can learn just because they want to. If you want the swordmasters in your residence to learn from Ziwu, then let them come to the relay station to learn."”"You…" Li Lu pointed at Officer Wang, his heart burning with anger.
Cong Yang didn't give Li Lu a chance to speak." Lord Li, I've already stayed in Shangyong County for two days. It's time to prepare to set off for Hanzhong. Hmm, let's set off tomorrow morning." Cong Yang felt that the longer he stayed in Shangyong County, the more dangerous it would be. Thus, setting off for Hanzhong as soon as possible could cause Li Lu's formation to be in chaos and disrupt Li Lu's arrangements. As expected, when Li Lu heard Cong Yang's words, he immediately forgot about Wang Yue. A flash of anxiety flashed in his eyes as he thought about how to make Cong Yang stay. He hurriedly explained," Sir, it's a long journey to Hanzhong. Why don't we go there again?"
Wouldn't it be better to wait for two days and take a boat to Hanzhong?
Li Lu's original intention was to invite Officer Wang to the banquet to stall for time. Unexpectedly, Cong Yang actually requested to rush to Hanzhong.
This caused Li Lu's arrangements to become strained. Because of Cong Yang's words, Li Lu became absent-minded and seemed to be in a trance. His feminine face occasionally revealed a ferocious expression, sometimes a contemplative expression, and sometimes a hint of anger. When the banquet ended, Li Lu was still frowning, immersed in his own world. Cong Yang left with Wang Yue in big strides. Soon, only Li Lu and his trusted aides were left in the living room. On the way back to the courier station, Wang Yue asked,"My lord, Li Lu has already started to kill us. What should we do?" Officer Wang smiled and said,"Ziwu, Li Lu is too feminine.”
Wang Yue was confused and did not understand what Li Lu meant.
He asked,"My lord, is Li Lu acting like a woman related to Li Lu sending people to kill us?" Cong Yang explained," When I said that Li Lu Tai Yin was soft, I meant that he was indecisive and could not achieve great things. Not only did he want to kill me, but he also wanted to remove himself." She really wanted to be XX and also wanted to build a memorial archway. How could there be such a good thing in this world? If he wanted to kill me, he would have sent someone to stop us in the county office and not let us leave. Wang Yue nodded and said,"In that case, Li Lu is about to move."
Hand? Cong Yang nodded noncommittally and said,"Watch."
Alright, there would be a good show tomorrow.
Shangyong County, deep in the mountains and forests 50 miles away. This forest was adjacent to the eastern edge of Mount Daba. In the depths of the mountain forest, there were towering trees that were thousands of years old everywhere. The bark of the trees was covered with ravines, and the withered leaves fell to the ground, accumulating layer after layer of dead leaves. When one stepped on the dead leaves, a crunching sound immediately sounded. In the forest, a group of people was carefully advancing.
Among these people was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a black scarf on his head. He had a white face, a short beard, a mustache, and small round eyes. He had the demeanor of a military counselor. He held a wooden stick in his hand and was walking step by step into the forest. Behind the middle-aged man, there were more than ten followers wearing coarse clothes. "Sir, we won't be able to find any trace of the barbarians even if we search blindly like this. It's better for us to whistle and let them come out to pick us up. An attendant walked up to the middle-aged man and said softly. The middle-aged man frowned and sighed," These damn barbarians are really cunning. I've been to the barbarian village three times, and I've memorized the road signs every time. But every time, I've gone the wrong way. Hmph, these barbarians look silly, but they're actually slippery and hard to catch. After saying that, the middle-aged man said,"Whistle."
