Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 117: Changlemen is not always happy
“It is not too late when the lights come on, and the night is not cold when everyone is having fun.
Suddenly, colorful light rose to the shore, and then I heard a child's startled cry.
The thin smoke in the sky dissipates, it seems that the immortals have descended to the earth.
Young and old, men and women all looked out and saw the reflection of the fire trees on the railings of the building.
If you want to know how this happened, just listen to what the old man has to say.
There is no such view in the world, so the thief king stole it and presented it to Chang'an.
..."
This is a limerick written by a storyteller.
This is most people's impression of Chang'an that night.
People wearing masks stood on the street, watching the fireworks in the sky reflected on the lanterns.
That moment was like a dream, and it must have surpassed all the splendor they had ever seen in their lives.
Even now, some people still cannot forget it.
There are even some young ladies in the mansion who would still sit by the window from time to time, looking at the tall building where the man in white appeared that day, and thinking blankly about their own girlish thoughts.
Li Si was unaware of the severity of his sins. At this time, he had brought the Tiger Girl to Dongting Lake for a leisurely stroll.
After all, he should take a break. He has had almost no free time since the end of last year.
The small boat pushed aside the clear waves and drifted quietly on the lake.
In July, the cool breeze from the lake makes you feel refreshed.
Li Si lay leisurely at the bow of the boat, not rowing, just letting the boat drift wherever it would go.
The tiger-wiping girl sat at the stern holding her sword and wiping it silently. Her swordsmanship had become more and more proficient recently, or it could be said that her swordsmanship had been improving since Dugu Bufu repaired her sword moves. Now, she was almost as good as Tie Muyi.
If this continues, her name will be on the sword list of the weapons catalog in a few years.
Li Si didn't really care about these things. In comparison, he was more concerned about what to eat tonight.
I heard that the lotus leaf chicken here is good. Maybe I can take Shu Hu Nu to try it later.
I have to admit that since he had money, it has become much easier for him to travel around the world. The saying that a penny can make a hero fall is not nonsense.
"Cough cough." Just as he was thinking about money, Li Si suddenly felt some discomfort in his chest and coughed a few times.
The tiger girl put down the sword in her hand and looked at him quietly for a while. Only when he stopped coughing did she speak with some concern.
"You've been coughing a lot lately."
"It's fine." Li Si smiled, waved his hand casually, put his hand behind his head, lay down again and said, "I'll see a doctor next time."
Having said that, he actually had some doubts in his heart. After all, with his current kung fu skills, he shouldn't catch a cold so easily.
Moreover, he always felt discomfort in his chest when practicing martial arts recently, and he didn't know why.
It seems that I really need to pay attention to it, but not now.
Now he has to enjoy this rare leisure time.
"My girl." Li Si was lying down, and he must have suddenly thought of something, and said to the Shuhu girl in a flattering manner.
"Please help me wipe the hidden sword. It has been in that sheath for quite some time."
That's the trouble with carrying a sword. You have to maintain it from time to time and take it out and wipe it.
"This..." The tiger girl hesitated for a moment. She was a swordsman, and logically she could not touch other people's swords casually.
"Cough." Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Li Si pretended to be weak, coughed, and said with his eyes lowered.
"You know, I'm not feeling well right now..."
"Hmph." Looking at Li Si's funny look, Shuhu Girl chuckled, shook her head, pursed her lips lightly, stretched out a hand and said.
"Give it to me, then."
"Okay." Li Si immediately put aside his sick look, took off the sword from his back and handed it to the tiger girl.
The breeze on the lake was blowing gently, and a small boat in the lake was drifting with the waves towards the evening.
A man in white was dozing off at the bow, and a woman was sitting quietly at the stern, polishing her sword.
At this moment, the world of martial arts should be very leisurely for them.
…
After the ceremony in Chang'an, after several considerations, Li Shizong finally released the Jin envoys back to the Jin Kingdom.
After all, the two countries have not yet completely torn their relations apart. If these envoys of the Jin Dynasty are detained at this time, it would be tantamount to giving the Jin Dynasty an excuse to start an uprising.
Li Shizong naturally understood the importance of not giving others any chance to talk about him.
So he could only suppress his anger for the time being. There was still a long time to go, and there would be plenty of opportunities to settle this matter later.
What he should do now is to guard against the next actions of the Jin Kingdom.
That night, a group of people left Chang'an overnight and headed towards the border.
At the same time, there are some who are happy and some who are sad in the world.
Fengyu Tower finally got rid of the troubles from the Jin Kingdom, and Zhang Bao's wife and children were rescued .
But as a place that also sells information, Changlemen’s business has not been very good recently, or it can be said that it has reached a precarious level.
Not to mention that they had lost face because of Yin Wuli before, and are still being laughed at by people in the martial arts world. The imperial court has also suppressed them many times during this period.
The specific reason seemed to be that some blind leader in the sect robbed government silver, which resulted in the closure of several local branches by people sent by the imperial court.
Then there were a series of official transfers, which made it inconvenient for them to do their jobs and put many more restrictions on their hands and feet.
The Changle clan could only be angry but not say anything. After all, the imperial court was now too powerful for them to defeat, so they had no choice but to endure it.
However, it is undeniable that such results are also related to their own way of making a living.
Fengyu Tower has a strict system with rewards and punishments based on evidence. The people in charge are selected after several rounds of screening. Everyone has his or her own duties, and except for Xiao Muchu who is in charge of general affairs, no one can overstep their boundaries.
This enables them to be tactful in what they do outside and understand what they should and should not do.
But the Changle Sect is different. Their people are from all walks of life, from the market to the court. There is a mix of good and bad people in the sect, and they usually act independently and have nothing to do with each other. They only gather together under certain specific circumstances.
This does give , but it also makes them more likely to get into unnecessary trouble.
For example, their current situation was caused by a few brainless people doing things recklessly.
"Humph, a bunch of useless people."
In Yanshan City, inside the Changle Gate, a man in a wide robe sat on a seat and snorted coldly.
He is Fu Changle, the leader of Changle Sect.
At this time, he understood very well that Changle Gate must find another way out, otherwise it would be completely taken over by the imperial court sooner or later.
But where is the way out? He closed his eyes slightly and played with the two iron balls in his hands.
He was remembering a letter that was mailed to him a few days ago.
