Li Qingcheng stopped and said strangely, "How could this happen?"

At this moment, Xiao Jinyan was also extremely shocked. The moment Li Qingcheng stabbed him in his long sword, the string force in his body removed his true energy, so he had the chance to punch that punch. He told Li Qingcheng what he had just now, and Li Qingcheng was surprised.

"You can think of this, it's good."

Xiao Jinyan thought that if I could practice string power to the level of being as I wish, although I had no internal strength, wouldn’t I be sure to win when using string power to interfere with the opponent’s internal strength during the matchup? Just as I was about to show off, Li Qingcheng said, “Try my sword again.”

At this moment, Li Qingcheng controlled his realm at Zhixuanchu Realm, stabbed with a sword, and his internal force was as powerful as a surging river.

Xiao Jinyan used his old trick again. Although the string force could capture the opponent's true energy, it was too strong, like a spider silk to overturn a piece of wood, which was almost impossible.

Bang!

Xiao Jinyan was slapped on the back of the sword and slapped Xiao Jinyan on the ground. Li Qingcheng took back the sword and said lightly, "It's almost time to get angry."

Xiao Jinyan was like opening another door, and was ecstatic and even more determined. He wanted to practice the string power of heaven and earth. If he could cultivate the string power to a certain level, even if my internal strength was not good, I would let my opponent's internal strength not do it, and then he would defeat them with the will of unparalleled fist.

The two of them practiced for a while and were already sweating profusely.

At this time, the director of the guard Li Datong walked into the yard. The two of them had a good impression of the person and stopped to say hello.

Li Datong looked at the two of them and said, "Are you practicing?"

The two nodded.

"I've been watching it for a while. Your martial arts moves are pretty good. Have you ever considered joining our guardhouse? It's not nice to protect people. However, the income is much higher. What's more, the Tang Sect is a martial arts family, and there are not so many people who are blind to cause trouble."

The two of them were hesitant.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Thank you for your good intentions in the hospital. We entered the Tang Mansion to do short-term work, which is just a temporary solution. After we have earned enough money, we still have to travel west."

“Where to go?”

"Yinyang City."

When Li Huyuan heard this, he was shocked, "What should I do when I go to Yinyang?"

"Go to visit a friend." Xiao Jinyan said. He did not say that he would escort the ashes of Jindao Li Qiuyi to Yinyang, let alone that the three of them would go west to experience it.

Li Huyuan shook his head, "If you insist on going, I won't say anything, but the western frontier has not been peaceful recently. I heard that the imperial army has entered a state of combat readiness. You should be careful."

Li Qingcheng was surprised, "What?"

"You may not know that two months ago, Chu Bili, the second prince of Western Chu, returned to Western Chu under the escort of several major families, and launched a mutiny, imprisoned the Western Chu emperor Chu Qiu and ascended the throne. This person is a war-oriented faction. Western Chu recently dispatched troops and soldiers, and was overwhelmed by a large number of troops, claiming to take over the nineteen cities of Yinyang."

Xiao Jinyan was moved when he heard this.

Chu Bieli is Li Ergou from Suzhou City. You know, half a year ago, he was a silly man with Jindao Li Qiuyi, and he was also a silly man. He didn't expect that he would seize the throne just after returning to Western Chu?

Li Datong, "This matter is related to the past of the Western Chu Dynasty. In short, the western frontier is not peaceful. You should be careful when you go here."

Li Qingcheng suddenly asked, "How could Li Huyuan be so familiar with the matter in the western border?"

Li Datong's eyes were gloomy when he heard this and sighed, "I just heard from you."

Xiao Jinyan saw a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

Li Datong is burly, with a high temple, his hands are covered with calluses, and a trace of murderous aura on his body. He also looks like he is from Guojun. Since he refuses to say it, it is not convenient to ask more questions.

When he returned to the room, Zhao Langjiang sat cross-legged with two knives between his knees. Since he failed to break the realm, he has never pulled out these two knives again. He meditated every day and wanted to forget the sword intent of the golden sword, the mad sword, and the sky sword, and create his own cross-cutting sword technique.

The two of them told Zhao Langjiang what they heard in the courtyard. Zhao Langjiang's eyes were a little surprised, "It's so good, I'm afraid that this trip to the west will be too boring."

Xiao Jinyan said, "If this is the case, a big war is inevitable."

Li Qingcheng shook his head, "That may not be."

He analyzed, "With the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the war on the Western Front is more than enough to deal with Western Chu, but the war has affected the whole body. For twenty years, the Ming, Chu, Zhou and other small countries have survived in the cracks and maintained a balance. If the Ming and Chu fight, the world will inevitably move. Once the Ming and Chu conquer Western Chu, the next goal will be to destroy the Northern Zhou. The Northern Zhou will naturally not sit idly by and will definitely make a kick. If the war is quick, it will be better. Once it falls into a protracted war, it will naturally be a competition of national strength in the end. This is probably not what the court wants to see."

Zhao Langjiang also said, "Although the strength of Western Chu is not as strong as that of the Ming Dynasty, its territory is vast and extremely deep in the east and west. There are also natural barriers such as Chishui River, Manlong River, and Xiyin Mountains, so the Ming army cannot penetrate into it at all."

Li Qingcheng is a child of a noble family, and military strategy is a compulsory content. Zhao Langjiang once joined the army on the border and talked about war, which was also very good at speaking. Only Xiao Jinyan knew nothing about this.

"In your opinion, how will it end?" Xiao Jinyan asked.

Zhao Langjiang said, "I'm afraid the 19 cities in Yinyang will be handed over to Xichu."

Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered that the "letter to surrender to the enemy" written by Yuwen Tianlu to Western Chu was also sent to Chu Bieli at that time, and then helped him to regain the throne, which was a confusion for Western Chu.

But now Chu Bieli has almost no effort to regain the throne, and that promise has become something Chu Bieli is determined to win.

If the Western Xinjiang fails, the Ming Dynasty's territory will retreat to the Hengduan Mountains. Although it is a natural barrier, in this way, the pass to the Western Regions will be stuck in the hands of Western Chu, which will be a fatal blow to the trade of the Ming Dynasty.

"Then is there no other way?"

Li Qingcheng said, "We are just eating salty radish and worrying about it. The court will naturally take care of this kind of thing. Let's think about how to make enough money to travel west."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "Where are the three newcomers yesterday?"
