Time passed day by day, the little boy gradually grew up, his strength became higher and higher, and his heart became bigger and bigger, and he was slowly no longer satisfied with the life of hunting and farming every day, and began to walk out of the mountain village, and a few children in the village who followed Xiao Yun to learn art, entered the rivers and lakes, and began to wander, before leaving, Xiao Yun only said one word to them, go out of the mountain village, everything depends on himself, no matter what, don't bring the grievances of the rivers and lakes into the mountain village, let alone tell anyone about his existence.

Xiao Yun didn't care about them, he was still with the people in the village, and Liu Laosan and them were in this mountain village, working and farming every day, participating in enlightenment and cultivation, the children in the village basically went out, and the mountain village calmed down, except for every evening, there would be some figures outside Xiao Yun's courtyard at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance.

Whenever this time, Xiao Yun will take out the pen and ink to draw down the figures, among the flowers in spring, the unrestrained fanaticism in summer, the shyness and slaughter in autumn, and the silver in winter, Xiao Yun saw the beautiful scenery, but he didn't care, he only cared about those figures, those expectant eyes, because the touch of anticipation made Xiao Yun have a wonderful feeling every time, which made him fall into a certain indescribable state, more than ten years like a day, it was like this.

At this time, on the rivers and lakes, the emergence of nine young masters also set off a storm, not only because of their martial arts, even if they are a few first-class powerhouses in today's rivers and lakes, they may not be their opponents, but also because of their mysterious masters, mysterious masters.

Everyone was very curious about where these young masters' masters were, and how they could train such outstanding disciples, but these people were tight-lipped, and no news about the mysterious person was leaked at all, but it made people even more curious about the identity of that person.

Among the nine people, the remaining eight people have each chosen to either rely on one side of the force, or create one side of the force by themselves, and develop their own, only Liu Shan, walking the rivers and lakes alone.

Liu Shan is the most belligerent, and has been taught by Xiao Yun the most, and his pursuit of martial arts is also the most intense, walking the rivers and lakes every day, challenging the top masters of all forces one by one, fighting endlessly for more than ten years, defeating every opponent, and finally arousing the jealousy and attention of some organizations on the rivers and lakes.

Many forces extended an olive branch to him, but Liu Shan never paid attention to it, and still went his own way, and as his fame grew, the royal family of the dynasty gradually noticed him.

In this secular world, no matter how powerful the Jianghu martial arts are, they will never be able to compare with a dynasty, because there is no strong man who can truly control the absolute force, under the deterrence of the imperial army, no Jianghu force will never dare to take it lightly, and now, among the rivers and lakes that have been suppressed by the imperial court, there is such a strong man, how can it not attract the attention of the imperial court, and what they care more about is that the sword technique practiced by this strong man is extremely domineering and powerful, not only the imperial court cares, but many Jianghu forces also care about it, but they are just taken by his prestige and dare not show their covetousness。

For all this, Liu Shan is clear in his heart, but he doesn't care, more than ten years of conquest, challenging countless masters, and also experiencing countless conspiracies and assassinations, tricks and plots, he already has an invincible heart, but he is already a little tired of the rivers and lakes, and he is ready to retire to the rivers and lakes.

Several partners who walked out of the mountain village together back then are now all overlords, either calling for wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, or dominating the wind and rain in the court, Liu Shan recalled the days when he learned martial arts together in Xiao Yun's small courtyard, and couldn't help but feel that that kind of peace seemed to be the life that a martial artist should really pursue, he missed his parents and Uncle Fang.

The last time he started to walk the world, it was not to challenge any masters and strong people, now that there is no one in the world's martial arts, there is no one who is his opponent, he wants to visit those partners who have not been in contact for more than ten years, and ask them if they are willing to return to the small mountain village, in fact, he knows the answer.

He visited seven of them, and as he thought, none of them wanted to go back, only saying that they would go back and pick up their parents when they had time, but they were not willing to endure the days of farming and hunting for generations and being bullied in the small mountain village, and since they had already created this foundation, they would continue to work hard.

Liu Shan, who was a little helpless, set foot on the road and moved towards the last goal, the last partner Liu Yao was his neighbor, the two had been extremely close since childhood, in his mind, others might not want to go back, but Liu Yao should not refuse.

Today's Liu Yao, is already a general of the dynasty, in charge of military power, in the imperial court, the authority is extremely heavy, Liu Shan arrived in the imperial capital, before he reached the general's mansion, Liu Yao has already taken a large team of personal soldiers out of the city to greet him, the two brothers have not seen each other for several years, Liu Shan is happy in his heart, and he didn't think much about anything else, under Liu Yao's warm hospitality, he temporarily lived in the general's mansion.

"Brother Yao, after so many years of wandering outside, our brothers gather less and leave more, now more than ten years have passed, and I have not returned to the mountain village, the rivers and lakes have been in the hall for more than ten years, I am also tired of these disputes and fights, this time I came to find my brother, I just want to ask, I plan to retire to the rivers and lakes, go back to the mountain village to live in seclusion, Brother Yao, what do you plan?

When he came to the General's Mansion, Liu Shan didn't say much to greet, but asked straight to the point.

"Brother Shan, for so many years, the younger brother has been in this court, deceitful and struggling, so that he can have today's achievements, the younger brother does not plan to give up this foundation for the time being, and the father and mother have worked in the mountain village all their lives, getting up early and greedy for darkness, but they can still only feed and eat and eat, this kind of day, the little brother is not willing to live again, since we have the ability, then we should have a higher status, Brother Shan, why don't you stay too, how about we serve the court together? With your strength, if you can enter the court and serve the royal family, then you and my brother will join forces, and this court will not be the world of you and my brother?"

Liu Yao groaned slightly, and said seriously after a while.

"I also know that it is indeed a pity to give up such a foundation, since you are unwilling, you are not reluctant to be a brother, but your brother is tired of strife and decided to go into hiding, I am afraid that I can't help my brother here, what do you want me to bring to Uncle Liu and Auntie?"

Liu Shan shook his head and said with a smile.

"In a few days, I plan to go back and bring my father and mother to the imperial capital, but there is nothing to bring to them the second elder, Brother Shan, I know your temper, so I won't put a banquet for you, since I want to go back, then let the younger brother replace the wine with tea and see off the eldest brother. ”

Liu Yao was slightly regretful, looking at Liu Shan's gaze and said with some complicated words, but Liu Shan didn't notice his gaze, just picked up the teacup next to his hand and took a sip slightly.

"I won't stay longer, don't worry, I will bring this good news to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu. ”

Liu Shan smiled, put down the teacup, got up and said, and then was about to leave, but Liu Yao was strangely silent.

But just as Liu Shan's footsteps were about to step out of the living room, he suddenly felt that his hands and feet were weak, and the internal force in his body could not be condensed, which made him feel shocked, and he suddenly turned around, looking at Liu Yao in the living room with some pain on his face, with a somewhat guilty face.

"Why?"

Liu Shan forcibly supported it, this medicinal power was too fast, and according to his strength, it was almost impossible to resist and stand up in just such a moment.

"Handing over the "Little Tianyan Sword" can spare your life today!"

Liu Yao didn't speak, but a crisp voice came in from outside the hall, and it turned out to be the pro-army guard who was originally standing next to Liu Yao.

"Liu Yao, see Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Liu Yao hurriedly saluted, but Liu Shan looked at this princess of the dynasty dressed as a man with an expressionless face, and then looked at Liu Yao with affectionate eyes, and understood everything in an instant.

"Why do you bother? Didn't Uncle Fang tell you back then, this set of sword techniques is too domineering, except for me, there are few people in this world who can cultivate, and if I don't pass it on to you, it's for your good, you, have you forgotten Uncle Fang's words?"

Liu Shan sighed, didn't look at the princess at all, just looked at Liu Yao and said.

"I'm sorry, Brother Shan, we didn't understand anything back then, Uncle Fang was too partial, there are nine of us brothers, only you got his true biography, otherwise, for so many years, why are we still not your opponents, hand over the "Little Tianyan Sword", when the time comes, I will dedicate it to the royal family, and the princess will agree to marry me, and I can also intercede for you and let you save your life. ”

Liu Yao's face was extremely calm, obviously he had been thinking about this matter for a long time and had already decided.

"Uncle Fang has never had any partiality, the nine of us have learned, and every martial art is the best in the world, otherwise how could the nine of us have today's achievements, it's just that I am more focused on martial arts than you, that's all, Brother Yao, go back, you forgot what Uncle Fang said back then, the martial arts he taught, who to pass on, can only be decided by him, otherwise, he will personally take back everything he gave us, have you forgotten?"

Liu Shan's eyes were still full of regret and pain, and he looked at Liu Yao loudly and said.

"Liu Yao, it seems that your eldest brother is not very willing to cooperate with our royal family?"

The princess spoke, and looked at Liu Shan with a calm gaze full of murderous intent.

"Brother Shan, don't upset the princess, if you don't give it to me, I will personally lead the troops to the mountain village to get it, I think, Uncle Fang loved us so much back then, he shouldn't blame me for a mere martial arts cheats, right?"

A hint of struggle flashed in Liu Yao's eyes.

"Are you really going to do that? Are you really forgetting the oath we took when we left?"

However, hearing these words, Liu Shan's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, staring at Liu Yao and asking word by word.

"If you don't give it, Uncle Fang will give it too. ”

Liu Yao's eyes gradually became firm, and he looked at Liu Shan and said seriously.

"Hahaha...... Count me Liu Shan as a brother, come on, I, Liu Shan, have been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, how have I ever been afraid? Have you ever compromised with the enemy?"

Staring at Liu Yao for a moment, Liu Shan suddenly burst out laughing, his voice vibrated the universe, and the breath on his body suddenly exploded, although because of poisoning, the breath became extremely unstable, but that kind of invincible intent also made people feel irresistible.
