Li Hongji took the small silver hammer from the maid's hand, stood up, took out two lake crabs in the silver plate, and placed them in front of Xiao Yanbei, Zhuo Wu, and said, "I took the hammer and broke the shell and took the meat, just like a general who personally led his troops to attack the city and plunder the village. The pleasure among them is the true taste of this crab. How can I let others do it for you? What do the envoy think? Haha..." After laughing, he broke off the crab legs, knocked it with the silver hammer, peeled off the broken shell and ate it.

Xiao Yanbei only felt that eating crabs in the world could bring out this artistic conception, but Li Hongji, who was originally a person who expanded the territory and boundaries. After savoring the meaning of this sentence, he laughed out loud: "It's so satisfying, the King of Yan was young and handsome, and I admire him."

If Xiao Yanbei said this when he first met, he was just a polite statement, but he was really admiring at this time.

Li Hongji thought he was a master of crab eating, so he immediately finished eating a crab with meat, but his behavior was extremely elegant. He stretched out his hand sideways to wash his hands on the silver basin held by the maid next to him, wiped it clean after taking a silk cloth, and raised the wine cup to Xiao Yanbei: "I am still an important minister of the Great Liao Dynasty. I am lucky to let the Lord come condescend. I respect him three cups..." After saying that, I drank three cups in a row.

Xiao Yanbei was nearly twenty years old and was an envoy. He was naturally under the influence of his gratitude, but he also gave him a cup of greetings.

After Li Hongji stood up and was respected, he put down his wine glass, "I am a little bit good at the piano. Today, the moon is bright and the wind is relaxing. I want to play a song, please give me some advice."

Li Hongji and Xiao Yanbei have never mentioned the matter of the coalition forces since they met. Since it was related to his concerns, Xiao Yanbei remembered the words "Qinyin Boxin" on the Cambodian post, and nodded and smiled: "It is my blessing to be able to hear the song of the King of Yan."

Li Hongji smiled and said, "Get a cup and fill the wine. I want to toast a glass of Shuixian."

Hearing this, the two maids hurriedly took the cup and brought the pot to the daffodil, poured the wine into it, and presented it to the daffodil who stood up. The daffodil took the wine handed over by the maid, smiled slightly at Li Hongji, and said "Thank you, Your Highness". After drinking the wine, he retreated slowly and knelt on the soft blanket given by the maid behind him.

Li Hongji drank it all, smiled, handed the golden cup to his maid, sat on the soft blanket behind the piano table, bowed to Xiao Yanbei, and raised his hand to pull out the strings. But when he heard the sound of the piano, it was like rain suddenly falling. In the sparseness, heavy rain suddenly hit, thunder and lightning, mixed with golden swords and iron horses, and like flying dragons entering the clouds, roaring to the nine heavens...

Suddenly, a string of the piano broke and everyone's faces changed. Li Hongji seemed to have not realized it. The sound of the piano turned sharply, like a sword chanting, and ran with iron hooves, and then rose with the momentum, and was like a strong wind whistling, sweeping through the forest. With a "clang" sound, a string broke again.

But when Li Hongji pressed the string with his left hand and waved his right hand, he left the string with his hands. The lingering sound gradually became crisp and crisp, but he was like riding alone. In everyone's shock, he stood up and laughed and said, "Kill a thousand people, lose five hundred of them, haha... I'm so ugly."

When Li Hongji set off, he was already determined to have the power of killing. In the midst of the battle between thousands of troops, he advanced rapidly. Unexpectedly, the strings suddenly broke. However, after the strings were broken, he refused to lower the tune. He responded on the spot and then moved forward lightly. When he wanted to gather his troops to rush hard, he broke the string again. In desperation, he was still single-handed and charged into the formation.

In ancient times, when playing the strings broke, they were considered unlucky, but Li Hongji looked calm. Xiao Yanbei only heard Li Hongji's bold words and secretly praised him.

When it comes to piano skills, Li Hongji is naturally inferior to daffodils, just like drinking wine. The dildo's piano meaning is like the mellow flower carvings, which makes people feel endless aftertaste and can never return. Li Hongji's piano sound is like strong wine, making people feel excited and full of passion. Unfortunately, when the strings of the piano are broken, it is like cold water splashing on the face, and the artistic conception is naturally greatly reduced.

Li Hongji returned to the round table and smiled slightly at Xiao Yanbei, "This song of breaking the formation is still created by me, and I hope the envoy will give me more advice."

In his spare time in Beiping, Xiao Yan would listen to Xiao Muyun's songs to relieve his feelings. He could only say that he could understand the rhythm, but his martial arts skills were very high, and he could have heard that before the first string was broken, Li Hongji could have made a brief change of the sound without breaking the string. Just like capturing the city, the soldiers and horses could have been temporarily rested, but for some reason, Li Hongji seemed unwilling to stop the string, but the second string was broken, but it seemed that the momentum was coming.

He also heard that the Qin was like killing and attacking, and he guessed that Li Hongji had the intention of joining the Liao and Han ally, but he was not the person assigned by the Emperor of Southern Tang to negotiate with him. Although he was a prince, he was not inconvenient to talk to him about the alliance.

After hearing this, he looked at the daffodil sitting not far away, and thoughts moved, looking at the daffodil, "I am a martial artist, how dare I tell you? I heard the sound of the piano of the King of Yan swallowing mountains and rivers, but I feel so magnificent and regretful... What do you think the daffodil girl?"

When Xiao Yanbei saw that Li Hongji did not talk about the alliance in person, he must have some concerns in his heart. However, if he acted cautiously, he could let the Narcissus participate. It must have a deep meaning. He did not know that Narcissus was a woman of wind and dust, but when he saw Li Hongji toasting her, he was very courteous, and guessed that Li Hongji might use the mouth of the Narcissus to express the unspoken voice.

After hearing this, Narcissus smiled slightly, stood up, walked to the piano table, bowed to Xiao Yanbei and others, and said nothing, sat on the light blanket behind the piano table, took off the broken strings, and then started playing the piano again. It turned out to be the broken formation song that Li Hongji had just played.

The five strings of her zither were pressing and pulling her hands. Although the sound was not as loud and exciting as Li Hongji played, the momentum of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the rhythm of horse neighing and sword singing, was still regretful in the heart of the continuous and smooth flow, but its majestic momentum was no less than that of Li Hongji. When the end was over, his hands stopped suddenly and moved quickly. However, he heard the sound of hooves gradually sounded, but it seemed like a hero returning from a horse.

After the remnant sound disappeared, the Narcissus stood up and saluted, "The little woman has violated her. I hope your highness will forgive you."

"You know the king's intentions very well, what sins are there? Haha..." Li Hongji looked at the Narcissus with admiration, "How can you guess the final intention of this king?"

When Li Hongji's song ended, the sound of the piano was like walking on a horse and leaving, while the Narcissus was the sound of returning on a horse.

"I heard that my highness was so excited that my horse could have been flat, but for some reason I broke the string... But the second time it was the broken string that was shaken by the sound waves and entangled the Wuxian. After all, the highness broke the Wuxian." The Narcissus said slowly.

"Just heard this song as a song that broke the formation, the little woman guessed that the first time she broke Wenxian was probably because of His Highness's intentional action. She guessed that His Highness must have gone to the baggage bond and made the marching smoothly... That is, the song that broke the formation must have returned in triumph, so the little woman dared to play this song and followed the piano, which is not the ability of a little woman."

What Narcissus said is not a false sense. She has superb piano skills and extraordinary insights, but as the tune changes, she finally smoothly plays the artistic conception of Li Hongji's triumphant return.

Li Hongji looked at the Narcissus for a long time after hearing this, nodded and said, "I think the so-called soulmate is like this. The Narcissus's piano skills are unparalleled in the world."

"Your Highness is apologized and really dare not take it. The little woman has something unknown, so she dares to ask your Highness for advice."

Li Hongji smiled slightly, "Do you want to ask me, after I broke the string for the second time, I was disturbed by him and should have stopped the army, but why was it the sound of rushing alone, which also violated the intention of returning triumphantly?"

"This song is still created by me after I defended the frontier and fought against the enemy. The two armies were in opposition, and the outcome was unpredictable. Even if the enemy had the initiative, there were many changes, just like the first broken string wrapped around the Wu string. I was shocked by the broken string, but I was afraid that the two strings would disturb the different sound again, so I changed and suppressed it, and followed the trend... just like Miss Shui just played with the piano." Li Hongji smiled faintly.

Xiao Yanbei was shocked when he heard this. Although he was not good at music, he could also hear the clues from the conversation between Li Hongji and Narcissus. Li Hongji could forcefully retreat and report the intention of charging alone. It can be seen that he was determined and thought that if the Liao Dynasty fought against the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Hongji would be a difficult person to deal with.

The Narcissus was impressed and knew that with his own state of mind, even if his piano skills were superb, he would mostly give up the sound of a sad withdrawal under the turmoil of strings, and then said, "Your Highness, the young woman has been taught."

"The formation breaking song that the Daffodil girl just played, with the remaining five strings...even if I am replayed by this king, I may not be able to advance and retreat in a proper manner like the girl."

Li Hongji looked at Xiao Yanbei, "What does the envoy think of this king's evaluation of the Shui Daffodil girl?"

When Xiao Yanbei heard this, he thought to himself that Li Hongji's purpose of inviting him was nothing more than the conditions of the Liao and Tang alliances. At this time, by praising the Narcissus zither skills, he implicitly a measure of advancing and retreating. He remembered what Li Hongji said before, killing a thousand people and losing five hundred of himself, and guessed that Li Hongji's general thoughts were he was willing to give 50% of his wealth for three thousand horses.

As Xiao Yanbei expected, Li Hongji knew that if he wanted to go north to the Central Plains, he would definitely need many good horses to gallop on the battlefield. He heard in Runzhou that the Southern Tang Dynasty wanted the Liao Dynasty to give him three thousand good horses, and he guessed that someone in the court did not want to form an alliance with the Liao people, so the lion opened his mouth and made things difficult for this matter.

The Liao people mostly had beef and mutton diet, and needed tea to eliminate the greasy pain. They had a great demand for tea. The clothes and dress of officials and nobles were deeply influenced by the Han customs and had a special liking for silk and satin. However, Jiangnan produced a lot of tea and silk, but lacked war horses. So they used tea and silk to change horses with the Liao people. Fifty kilograms of tea or twenty silk to exchange for a war horse, but with the wealth of Jiangnan, tens of thousands of kilograms of tea and tens of thousands of silk to be taken out.

However, when it comes to alliance cooperation, it is not ordinary market transactions, and strange goods are accustomed to each other, so they invite Xiao Yanbei to gather and test the bottom line of the Liao Dynasty in order to convince Li Jing and Liao and Han coalition forces to attack the Hou Zhou.

Xiao Yanbei was unable to make the decision in this matter. The bottom line of the Liao Dynasty was to give 500 horses, but if you think it was a dumb fan, it would be okay to understand the situation. Li Hongji might have great magical powers and it was unknown if he made this matter. Thinking of this, he chuckled, "Miss Water Fairy's zither is superb, and His Highness Yan praised it as appropriate. Come on, I will be able to respect Ms. Water Fairy's cup."

The maid behind him hurriedly poured wine and handed it to the daffodil. Xiao Yanbei stood up, raised his glass to the daffodil, drank the wine, turned to Li Hongji and said, "I am already eighty-six-six drunk, and drinking it again may make a mistake. I will say goodbye to the king of Yan."

Li Hongji was not satisfied with his wings, and he was careful in his actions and talks. However, he wanted to use the sound of the piano to convey his desire to alliance with Liao and Han. He also wanted to convince Li Jing to send 50% of the things to exchange for three thousand horses as Xiao Yanbei guessed. But when Xiao Yanbei answered eight points of drunkenness, he knew it and turned to Qu Yuan and said, "Go to the boat to the shore and send the envoy back to the hall to rest..."

One by one by one

Luo Xiaoyao followed Xiao Muyun out of the Nanping Palace with confusion. He looked at Xiao Muyun with a smile beside him along the way, thinking about the matter of Tingtao Court mentioned by Gao Baorong in the mansion, and his face turned red, and he wanted to speak but stopped several times.

Xiao Muyun laughed in his heart, but pretended not to see him, and led Luo Xiaoyao to the "Yuelai" inn and asked for a room adjacent to him for Luo Xiaoyao to stay in.

When he arrived at the door of the room, looking at Luo Xiaoyao with a suspicious expression, Xiao Muyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, Princess Gao will send someone to send Shui Longyin later. Then everything will be done by Mu Yun's arrangement." He laughed and turned to his room.

Since Luo Xiaoyao was happy and loved Xiao Muyun, he had not been as natural as before. At this time, he was afraid that she would ask about Tingtaoyuan. In awkwardness, he saw Xiao Muyun enter the room and came to his senses. He thought of what Xiao Muyun said, but he couldn't guess how she persuaded Gao Ruoyu to return Shuilongyin.

After a while, Luo Xiaoyao, who had changed into men's clothing, came to the inn front hall to order wine, food and rice. When the two of them finished their meal, they saw Han Yue entering the store with "Shuilongyin" in his hand.

Han Yue saw Xiao Muyun dressed up in men's clothes and was a little stunned. After saluting, Xiao Muyun took her to the room with a smile. Han Yue handed her sword over to Luo Xiaoyao with both hands, "After the order of the princess, return the sword to the young master."

Luo Xiaoyao took the Shuilongyin in surprise, but also removed the "Shock Armor" worn on his waist. "President Han asked the princess to hand over this sword to the princess, and on behalf of the princess, Princess Xie to find the eminent monk... and told the princess that after the matter is over, she will definitely come to the door to thank him."

He is a person with a clear distinction between gratitude and grudge. After all, Shui Longyin was taken by everyone. Now that he has captured Gao Congyi, he has not owe it to him. However, Gao Ruoyu's help to find out the traces of Ming's monks is a different matter.

Han Yue smiled slightly when she heard this, and after taking the "Shock Armor", she turned around and presented it to Xiao Muyun. "The princess was moved to help fight the rebellion and ordered the girl to give this sword to her for self-defense."

Gao Ruoyuxin was given the sword to Luo Xiaoyao as Xiao Muyun said, or he would be refuted, but he ordered Han Yue to give "Jingjia" to Xiao Muyun.

She only said that Xiao Muyun was Luo Xiaoyao's real sister, and giving it to Xiao Muyun was even more beneficial for her. First, Luo Xiaoyao was inconvenient to refuse and accepted favors indirectly. Second, Xiao Muyun would also help her if she received this affection.

Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Xiao Muyun wanted. She learned the "Yueshuang Sword Technique" and "Taisu Eleven Styles" sword technique. She was very happy after seeing the "Jingjia" of Yidao and Yijian. She was annoyed that Gao Ruoyu and his sister bullied Luo Xiaoyao. She first stopped Gao Ruoyu from returning the sword in the palace to prevent Luo Xiaoyao from returning the "Jingjia" on the spot. Then she said that she could deal with her and lured Gao Ruoyu to use the strategy of loving the house and the black ones, but she brought the "Jingjia" into her hands.

In Luo Xiaoyao's surprise, Xiao Muyun took the "Shock Armor" with a smile, looked at Han Yueyan and said, "President Han asked Muyun to thank the princess for giving the sword on his behalf. He will definitely go with his brother to thank him in the future."

"Han Yue will definitely tell the princess to leave for your gratitude." Han Yue bowed and left.

Looking at Luo Xiaoyao with a shocked expression, Xiao Muyun smiled, "It was her compensation for wronging her senior brother..."

Luo Xiaoyao heard this but knew that Xiao Muyun believed in him and did not take the matter of Tingtaoyuan to heart. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't figure out why Gao Ruoyu gave Xiao Muyun "Jingjia" to him. He couldn't help but smile again.

The next day, the two of them set off on a boat from the waterway, but it was almost time to arrive in Xiangzhou. Luo Xiaoyao saw that Fangzhou was still more than 400 miles away, so he and Xiao Muyun went to the Xiangzhou branch pavilion to pick up two fast horses and rushed to Lingxiu Village. But if he wanted to visit Luo Hanshui, he went north to "Mingyue Villa" to wait for Mu Daocheng to return.

The two of them left Xiangzhou for more than fifty miles, but saw a man sitting in a donkey cart shouting and urging him to leave. There was a man lying in the cart behind him, but he was covered with a quilt.

When Luo Xiaoyao rode his horse past the donkey cart, he glanced at the person lying on the cart, but his heart was shocked. It turned out that the man was Miao Changning who had been separated for more than ten days. But he saw that there were blood on his beard, his eyes were closed, and his head was swaying from left to right as the cart vibrated, as if he was dead.

Without thinking, Luo Xiaoyao quickly rode his horse to block the donkey cart and jumped to the ground. The man who drove the cart was stunned and got off the cart, pulled it open, shouted with a look of alert, "Who are you, what are you going to stay?"

Xiao Muyun behind the donkey cart was also confused. Luo Xiaoyao's heart was getting confused and he didn't answer. He wanted to run to Miao Changning. Seeing this, the man punched him out, and his palm was fierce, which was actually the realm of spiritual thought cultivation.

Luo Xiaoyao made a move to "ride the wind and waves" to meet him. The two of them had a solid fist and a sway, and each of them had their own shapes. The man turned his fist into a palm and changed his move to cut Luo Xiaoyao's neck. Luo Xiaoyao's left hand was in one frame and his right palm was hit by the man's left fist. However, he felt that the fist was like waves tumbling, and two ways were raised again. Under the palm and fist, the rest of the momentum was still coming through the palm. When his heart was so powerful, he closed his palm and retreated quickly, but he also shouted: "What's wrong with Senior Miao?"

The man wanted to take advantage of the situation, but when he heard Luo Xiaoyao's questioning, he stopped the situation and asked, "Who are you?"

When Luo Xiaoyao shouted "Senior Miao", Xiao Muyun, who had already dismounted, was also shocked. After she was behind the cart, the man blocked Luo Xiaoyao in front of her, so she couldn't help but run to the cart, reached out to Miao Changning's nose for a moment, looked at Luo Xiaoyao and said in a lost voice: "Senior Miao...he..."

She had never met Miao Changning, but she heard Luo Xiaoyao tell him that he could cure Luo Hanshui's injuries. At this time, she found that Miao Changning was completely dead and was already dead. She was shocked and could not continue to talk.

Luo Xiaoyao was like thunder. At this time, there was no trace of monk in Ming Dynasty. The only hope for curing Luo Hanshui was to rely on Miao Changning's "Eight-Meridian Resurrection Needle". He could only heal Luo Hanshui when Mu Daocheng returned. At this time, he heard what Xiao Muyun said, and knew that Miao Changning was dead. He was stunned for a moment and looked at the man and said, "Senior Miao... why did he suffer?"

The man saw Luo Xiaoyao's distracted attitude, and guessed that he had a close relationship with Miao Changning, and his vigilance had gone. He walked to the donkey cart and looked at Miao Changning's pale face, "Master Miao Gu was poisoned by a villain. When Fang saw him... he was already dying." It turned out that this man was Fang Changsheng.

Luo Xiaoyao moved his legs to the side of the cart like a lead, stretched out his hand to lift the corner of the quilt, grabbed Miao Changning's right hand and reached out to vent his pulse. Fang Changsheng shook his head when he saw this, sighed and said, "What is the relationship between the young master and the master of Miao Gu?"

Luo Xiaoyao put down Miao Changning's right hand, but did not answer Fang Changsheng's question, muttering to himself: "What should I do... This..."

He stood there for a moment, suddenly looking at Fang Changsheng, "Who is the one who harmed Senior Miao?"

Fang Changsheng clenched his fists, but heard the sound of joints and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, can you tell me that Liu Gongwen is a bad thief?"

"Is it him?" Luo Xiaoyao said in a lost voice.

"Yes, it was this evil man who rebelled and killed the valley master." Fang Changsheng said with hatred, remembering Gan Shaolong's death in his heart, and his face was full of murderous intent.

It turned out that when Miao Changning saw Luo Xiaoyao injured in the prefecture, he learned that Liu Gongwen also had "Shenfeng San", he was puzzled. This "Shenfeng San" was transformed from "Qianji San". One of the most important herbs, "Qiji Cao", was found in the mountains at the junction of Southern Han and Annan.

When I returned to the Yaowang Valley, I was restless and knew that the "Kujicao" was extremely difficult to find, but I was afraid that it was found by Liu Gongwen, so I wanted to go to the Southern Han to collect the "Kujicao". However, I met Wu Wangbo and Luo Xiaoyao to invite him, and I had no choice but to delay the day.

After leaving Lingxiu Village and returning to Yaowang Valley, he gave a brief explanation to Miao Xiuzhu and his wife, and then went to the Southern Han to collect "Jijiacao". After collecting "Jijiacao", he rushed back to Yaowang Valley day and night, but met Liu Gongwen in Anzhou.

When Liu Gongwen broke into the guard house with Chu Nanfeng and Weng Mu, he accidentally obtained the "Shenfeng San" left behind in Weng Mu's fight. With the medical skills he learned, he found out the medicinal ingredients and wanted to develop this "Shenfeng San".

After fighting with Luo Xiaoyao in Taiyuan, he also wanted to go south to collect "sharp grass", but he was afraid of meeting Chu Nanfeng, Weng Mu and others, so he asked Yelu Zongwu to send someone to help. Seeing that he was very good at poisoning skills and was greedy for his future use, he sent two masters from the Great Spirit Realm of the Divine Thoughts in the Guardian to follow him, and just met Miao Changning from Huigu in Anzhou.

Miao Changning's martial arts skills are no match for Liu Gongwen and the other two. Under the siege of the three, he not only lost the "Kujicao" but was also seriously injured. Relying on his medical skills and Guiyuan Dan, he insisted on fleeing to a ruined temple in a forest in Xiangzhou, but he was already dying. Fang Changsheng, who came from Xiangzhou to visit Changqingqing, stopped on this ruined temple. Miao Changning knew that his life would be difficult to protect. After telling Fang Changsheng's murderer, he also taught Fang Changsheng the nine-handed palm technique he taught by Ling Buyi.

The nine-palm technique taught by Ling Buyi was a great achievement of what Ling Buyi learned throughout his life. Unfortunately, the people of the Miao family like to study medical skills and do not pay much attention to the martial arts. Although they were passed down from generation to generation, no one focused on studying them. Miao Changning originally taught Miao Xiuzhu to him when he stepped into the realm of divine thoughts. When he knew that he would die immediately, he taught it to Fang Changsheng.

When Luo Xiaoyao heard that the murderer was Liu Gongwen, Xing's eyes retracted and murderous aura arose. He bowed to Miao Changning's body and said, "I will definitely kill this evil thief for me."

Turning around and looking at Fang Changsheng, "I have offended you so much just now. I hope Mr. Fang will forgive me. Senior Miao's body will be sent to the valley by Mr. Lao."

Before Fang Changsheng could answer, he quickly stepped on the horse, nodded to Xiao Muyun, who looked worried, and turned his head toward Xiangzhou. Xiao Muyun was a little surprised and guessed Luo Xiaoyao's thoughts. He sighed in his heart, then turned over and whipped the horse and followed closely behind.
Chapter completed!
