Li Congjia still brought Li Jing a piece of good news, but in fact, it just woke him up. Why did the caravans in Yandao pass through Tanzhou to pay such high taxes? They could completely bypass Tanzhou and go directly to Houzhou from Nantang.

Tanzhou is important for the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it is not a necessary place for Yandao, and Yandao has a lot of money to open another trade route. But if Yandao does this, the value of Tanzhou will almost disappear. And this matter is not difficult for Shioshima.

Therefore, it is not that the people who occupy Tanzhou can collect the taxes of Yandao, but it depends on who the people of Yandao want to give the money to. It is obvious that Zhao Pu just wants to give the money to Li Hongmao, so Li Hongmao has the tax revenue of Yandao in Tanzhou, and Yang Ying will not have the slightest benefit even if he occupies Tanzhou.

After figuring out this problem, Li Jing decided to call the second child back, which also let Yang Liuying know that Tanzhou was not the fat he imagined.

............

Li Hongji immediately rode a thousand-mile horse, took his large army and rushed to Tanzhou, the happiest thing for him was to play with the second child, everyone went to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, and then each found a few girls to go home to sleep, this kind of life is enough.

Of course, there is no doubt that the throne must still be in the hands of his family. Without the emperor, there would be no comfortable life for them.

However, Li Hongji also felt that it was not easy to be the emperor, although he would inherit the throne in the future, he knew that he might not be able to sit firmly and needed the help of the third Li Congjia. The third Li Congjia is the most unlucky person, but he just can't have too many feelings with him.

Li Hongji also passed through Ezhou on the way, and deliberately went to the Nanwang Mansion in Wuchang Town to find Yang Ying, and told Yang Ying his intention, the subtext is that the second child is going to be taken over, and he has no reason to kill the second child.

Yang Ying was also very happy after getting the news, because ...... During this time, Yang Ying received feedback from his subordinates, and a young master came to the palace of the king of Chu, and most of the assassins they sent were killed by this young master.

Yang Ying was originally so angry that he beat his chest, but when he suddenly received the news, he was naturally very happy, so he entertained the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then personally sent Li Hongji on the road, hoping that he would quickly pick up Li Hongmao.

It took Li Hongji ten days to arrive in Tanzhou, and he was so tired that his whole body was paralyzed. The martial arts he has practiced over the years have long been squandered, and Li Hongji's body is only slightly better than that of ordinary people.

Martial arts are also consumables, if it is just consumption, the martial arts that you worked hard to practice when you were young will disappear sooner or later, although you will not become an ordinary person, but it will definitely not be much stronger than an ordinary person.

After coming to the Chu Palace, Li Hongji didn't need to report at all, and went straight inside. Most of the guards of the Chu Palace's mansion were brought from Jinling, and the guards in front of the door basically all knew Li Hongji, the king of Ji, and of course they didn't dare to stop it, so they could only follow behind.

When he came to the backyard of the Chu Palace, the scene in front of him at this time made Li Hongji unable to believe it. Li Hongmao's hands were tied behind his back, his upper body was red and blindfolded. There was a Taoist priest beside him who was holding a sword and slashing left and right, Li Hong dodged left and right very reluctantly, although he couldn't see with his eyes, he still relied on his feelings to survive.

There were two people with swords next to them, who seemed to be guards, but these two people were just slashing with swords, and they had no idea of saving people at all, and these two people might also be guards disguised by assassins.

Li Hongji really didn't expect the current assassins to be so arrogant, and they would actually do it in the palace of the King of Chu, and it seemed that they could already succeed, but they still wanted to play a trick.

Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise the second child's life would have been gone.

"Help!

Li Hongji shouted, and dozens of martial arts masters behind him jumped out directly and rushed to the end of the world. Tianya was also taken aback, this group of assassins was too arrogant, they rushed directly into the palace of the King of Chu to kill people? And brought so many people? This is no longer an assassination, it is simply a bandit who came to rob.

Of course, Tianya will not show mercy to this kind of person, with a wave of the long sword in his hand, the sword aura instantly enveloped several people who rushed over, these people didn't even have a chance to be surprised, and they were instantly stabbed into a hornet's nest.

The surrounding air froze instantly, they didn't expect this little Taoist to have such a good swordsmanship, and this swordsmanship seemed to be ...... Dugu Valve.

Most of the people present are natives of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although Dugu Valve is no longer in Southern Tang, there are still many disciples of Dugu Valve, so no one will be unfamiliar with Dugu Valve's swordsmanship. The sword just now was obviously a thousand sword style of Dugu Valve, and the sword was shadowless.

I have never seen this person, and in terms of his age, he is definitely not a person with the surname Dugu, but how could a person with a foreign surname have such a subtle Dugu valve sword technique? The level of the sword that was stabbed just now is too high,

Although the martial arts of the few people who were killed just now were not too high, they were definitely not low, and they were at a medium level in Li Hongji's escort group.

The killing of one of them is not scary, but a group of people is killed, and it is an instant kill...... No one dared to move, no one really dared to move.

Suddenly, a white shadow rushed out from behind Li Hongji, and the white shadow went directly to the end of the world. It was so fast that no one reacted.

Tianya was different from these people, he could see it clearly, this was an old man, dressed in white with white hair and white beard, and even his eyebrows were white. Although the speed of rushing over was fast, Tianya still had time to think.

'呯~~'

Everyone was still in shock, the two palms had collided together, and after fighting each other, Tianya took five steps back, while the old man in white stood motionless.

Tianya clenched his fists, the force of the punch just now was really strong, and the other party did not exert all his strength, which already made his arm numb. Fortunately, there is this unique body protection in the world, otherwise that palm just now would have made Tianya's left hand temporarily unusable.

Tianya immediately used his true qi to dredge the tendons and veins in his left hand, and then threw away the sword in his hand and replaced it with a knife, preparing to fight with all his might.

Tianya is the same as Zongxin, although they like to play with swords, they are not good at long swordsmanship, and Zongxin's dragon slaying knife method is definitely the best in the world.

............

"Master, most of the martial arts I am learning now are hard fighting moves supported by true qi and internal force, what should I do if I encounter that kind of internal strength that is really strong, but the martial arts moves are not as good as my first-class masters?"

"Run~ How many times have I taught you, and I have memorized all the life-saving tricks that Master taught you for the first time. ”

Tianya said depressedly: "Run away and beg for mercy and pretend to be a grandson, if you don't agree with your teacher, if you can't worship it, just call your father to attack again." ”

"Isn't that enough?"

"Master, you haven't solved the fundamental problem like this. Is there that kind of move that allows me to win against an opponent who is simply higher than me in internal strength? ”

"Nonsense, you know all the peerless martial arts in the whole world, whose moves are more subtle than you? If there is such a way, aren't you invincible in the world?" Zong Xin said depressedly: "But your idea is still very good, not to mention someone with higher internal strength than you, even if the internal strength is not as good as you, but there are many people on the other side, everyone has internal strength to fight, you will also suffer a certain amount of damage, and in the end, you may not be the opponent of these people...... Give the teacher two days, and the teacher will think of an absolutely good way for you to ensure that you will not lose to anyone in the internal force competition. ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

..................

"Thank you, Master. Tianya thanked Zong Xin softly, and then put the knife he had just pulled out back into the sheath and rushed directly towards the old man in white.

Of course, the old man in white will not be careless, and he is not in a hurry or greedy, after seeing Tianya's palm coming, he has enough strength to meet it.

The palms collided again, and Tianya was shocked away without accident, but this time Tianya's whole body kept spinning, turning and turning back, and then the two palms blasted towards the old man in white at the same time.

After all, the other party is just a child, even if his martial arts are strong, but the defects in his internal strength cannot be made up for by talent. The old man in white did not refuse, and he met it again with his palms.

'呯~~'

The old man in white was shocked more than ten meters away, and his chest almost spurted blood, but the old man in white finally couldn't help but spray, just looked at Tianya in surprise.

Tianya also covered his chest and lower abdomen, and his expression was extremely painful.

"Master's half-finished mental method is really extremely dangerous, if you don't make a move as soon as possible, your chest and dantian will be broken, and you will almost go crazy...... In the future, try to use as little as possible, and it is best not to use it again. ”

The old man in white was surprised: "What kind of martial arts is this? Those two palms just now are clearly the palm power of the old man." ”

Tianya said strongly: "This trick is a half-finished mental method written by my master temporarily, the name is 'stealing the sky and changing the sun', which is specially used to deal with people with strong internal strength like you, first absorb and transfer your internal force, and then add my skills to blast out at the same time, even if you yourself are the two palms just now, you may not be able to bear it." ”

"Sure enough, the hero is a boy, you shouldn't be an assassin. "The old man in white actually saw that Tianya was not an assassin for a long time, and the reason why he shot was entirely because of his itchy hands, and when he saw this kind of junior with strong martial arts, he wanted to give advice, but he didn't expect the other party's methods to be so clever, and he hadn't even heard of this kind of 'stealing the sky', and it was just a mental method written by his master temporarily, or a half-finished product......

If such a profound mental method can be completed, then the significance of practicing internal force will be reduced by half. However, judging by his appearance, his master should not be able to look down on this kind of mental method, because his master does not need ......

Judging from the age of this little Taoist, he should only be 15 or 6 years old, and it is unheard of to be able to practice martial arts so strong at this age. You can imagine how strong his master is.

Tianya nodded, "Of course I'm not an assassin, and neither are you......"

"Daoist Wuyazi, what the hell is going on?Hurry up and untie my rope, is someone coming?I feel a strong fluctuation of true qi. Li Hongmao didn't dare to speak or move just now because his hands were tied and his eyes were blindfolded.

Tianya used this way to train his sense and reaction to sudden attacks, after all, Tianya could not be Li Hongmao's guard forever, so Tianya hoped that he would have some ability to protect himself. Even if you can't win the other party, you have a chance to escape and live.
