Volume 1: The Tribulation of Yongliang

"Young Master, I just heard a conversation." Bai Xi was puzzled.

"Ah? No, you and I are the only ones in this room. Who can I talk to?" Li Yu sat down beside the bed and asked, "Baixi, what's wrong with you suddenly come to me?"

"I just met the eldest brother, and he said you still refused to eat, but..." Bai Xi looked at the empty plates on the table, and raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that the eldest brother is still useful. You don't eat the food I sent, but the oil residue left after he sent it."

Li Yu showed an evasive smile: "The eldest brother has always been good at craftsmanship..."

"Young Master, I have been thinking about it for a long time. Some words still have to be said. Even if you offend you, it's better than seeing you." Bai Xi said, and walked to Li Yu and sat down with a sincere look and a sincere voice:

"You worshipped in Tianshan at the age of eight. Isn't the real reason you left that dirty imperial house? You don't have much feelings for the Xiliang Prince's Mansion. Although the prince is your biological father, he has never fulfilled his father's responsibilities, but has forced him to death-"

"Baixi, stop talking." Li Yu's eyes were wet without realizing that tears were wet. He got up and walked towards the window, opened the window to welcome the wind and snow. His originally silent heart was disturbed by Baixi's words again.

"I also know that another reason you are in a bad mood is that it is about the outlaw who carries a giant sword, right?" Bai Xi advised: "Young Master, you are so stupid to treat his outlaw who is roaming around the world as a friend. This kind of people are used to living in Jing City, selfish, ruthless, despicable, and greedy-"

"Ah...Ah!"

Yan Yunting couldn't help but sneeze.

"Who!" Bai Xi rushed away and shouted under the punching bed: "Who is hiding under the bed, come out for me!"

Yan Yunting rubbed his nose and crawled out from the bottom of the bed, blinking at Bai Xi: "Young Master Bai, it's me, the selfish, ruthless, despicable, and greedy outlaw who is wandering around the world."

Bai Xi's cheeks were red, and he couldn't tell the difference between real and fake for a moment. He turned his head and looked at Li Yu in surprise: "Young Master, he...he...you...you..."

Li Yu smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't scold people, he might not sneeze."

"But I clearly saw him being eaten by a poisonous man, why did he suddenly appear in Tianshan and hide under your bed!" Bai Xi hurriedly stopped Li Yu: "Is it because he sneaked into your room and wanted to plot against you!"

"Okay, you want to go where are you going?" Li Yu shook his head, pulled Bai Xibi and greeted Yan Yunting to sit down together: "Bai Xi is my good brother who can talk about everything, don't hide it from him."

"Hiddenly?" Bai Xi's eyes looked back and forth between Li Yu and Yan Yunting: "Is there really something unspeakable between you? Young Master, you are so beautiful! So beautiful!"

Li Yu rolled his eyes, "I don't have to read those novels of the world for a day, what mess is there in my mind?" He opened the wooden box and pushed the blood lotus into Bai Xi's eyes, "What I want to say is about this thing..."

So Li Yu carefully talked about Yan Yunting's experience of getting the Blood Lotus to Bai Xi.

"Bang!" After hearing this, Bai Xi slapped the table suddenly, "I had long felt that the group of hypocrites on Sunset Peak were strange, but I didn't expect to collude with Jiuyou in private! They were simply scum in the mountain gate, and a shame in the martial arts world!"

Li Yu said: "I want to go to Elder Tang to confirm the origin of the Blood Lotus. If it is really produced from Jiuyou, it will confirm the crime of the Black Palace. At that time, we will gather the elders and disciples of each peak and hall to go to Lingjiu Peak together, and let the old leader take action to clean up the portal."

"Is the Elder Tang you mentioned reliable?" Yan Yunting asked.

"It must be reliable!" Li Yu and Bai Xi were so determined that they spoke in unison.

"It's best to make two pots of fine wine when you go. When Old Man Tang smells the fragrance of the wine, he is willing to help with everything he does." Bai Xi added.

An old man who loves to drink should not be too bad in character.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go and go down the mountain!"

...

Elder Tang lived alone in Houshan Valley. If you want to find him, you must go down the mountain first. Fortunately, the cable car was open to the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise it would be delayed by at least half the night after going down.

"Li Yu, I heard that this cable car was built because of you. Is it true or false?" Every time Yan Yunting took the cable car, he couldn't help but sigh at its magic.

Li Yu frowned: "Who did you hear? The construction of plank roads and cables is for convenience for all people who go up and down the Tianshan Mountains, and it has nothing to do with me."

Yan Yunting whispered: "The toll is really not cheap."

Bai Xi said, "That's because you guys are used to being free. Look at how much manpower and material resources does this huge project cost? The royal mansion is not a charity person, so of course he has to collect some tolls. Moreover, half of the tolls collected must be handed over to the public losers, and half of them are used to pay taxes. There is not much silver in the royal mansion's treasury."

Yan Yunting pursed his lips, "Public losers? I thought they could only make artillery and chariots."

Bai Xi asked: "Aren't you all knowledgeable in the world? Why don't you even know the business scope of the Gongshuo?"

Li Yu said: "Because the Gongshu has never been involved in the world. They only serve the imperial court and take the high-end manufacturing route. Ordinary people are not qualified to contact the Gongshu's organs."

Yan Yunting smiled bitterly: "So I am the frog in the well."

Li Yu added: "You have been in the world for so long, and I must have heard of the 'Momen' that is as famous as Gongshu? The only difference between these two aristocratic families is that Momen serves the people, Gongshu serves the country, Momen emphasizes 'non-public', and Gongshu emphasizes 'dominance'. Therefore, Momen's mechanisms are more integrated into people's livelihood, such as oxen horses, plows, rakes, hanging ladders, and water wheels for Yao; Gongshu's mechanisms are more used for wars, chariots, wooden kites, cannons, and guns..."

"Whose mechanisms are better in Momen or Gongshu?" Yan Yunting asked.

Li Yu shook his head: "Does it be necessary to be a family of both institutions and techniques? If it is about protecting the country, the public losers will definitely be better. If it is about governing the country, the "non-public" and "universal love" of the Momen are more suitable." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pity that I have always grown up in the northwest and have never been to the Central Plains or the South. Otherwise, I really want to visit all the places such as the Mo Sect and the Confucian Sect," he looked at Yan Yunting regretfully: "So sometimes I envy you even more. You can travel around the world for your home. Compared with your experience in the world, we are actually the real frogs in the well."

Yan Yunting smiled and said, "In our hometown, those who can become the 'child king' are not necessarily the tallest and strongest, but they must be wild and fierce in fighting. On the contrary, those white and tender children who are often disciplined are often bullied."

"It's a pity that my identity, my location, and the environment I live in are not allowed to scatter my will," Li Yu's face was full of bitterness and helplessness. He shook his head, looked at Tianshan under the moonlight, and whispered melancholy:
