Chapter 163 Unrest in Shanyue

Dongshanyue.

Mu Jiaoman was lying on the couch, hot breath surging in his mouth, his heart twitching like colic, making his mouth dry and speechless.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The wives and concubines around him were crying and babbling, which made him upset. He gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength:

"Shut up!"

But the voice was as soft as humming. No one noticed him, they were all just crying and crying. His heart was filled with darkness.

Although Dongshanyue was not a rich country and a strong people under his rule, it was much better than the previous troubled times. Dongshanyue's territory was also constantly expanding, and from time to time, villages in Shanyue surrendered.

Mu Jiaoman knew that Li Tongya was cautious, so he pretended to have his back to Wushan to prevent Li Tongya from crossing the border. He also compromised and opened up the trade route, allowing the Li family to exchange some novel luxuries for the mountains of food and materials in the hands of the Shanyue nobles. Yu used hundreds of thousands of Shanyue as labor to support the stranger who was in his early 100,000, and then gained a glimmer of hope.

Just when everything was full of vitality and everything was going for the best, a demon wolf broke into the town. This monster with the sixth level of Qi training mysteriously and silently crossed hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers and landed. At the foot of his city.

Mu Jiaoman had no choice but to go into battle. His Dongshan Yue had developed over the years and had two or three qi-training monks. Although they swallowed all the miscellaneous qi, they were not as good as those cultivating immortals, but they could still be considered as capable of fighting. It's just that the front lines located in the west are too slow to receive reinforcements.

He thought about holding on for a while and waiting for support, but he never thought that this monster had several innate spells, which kept him defeated. He had no choice but to grit his teeth, sacrifice his energy and blood, and call Wushan according to ancient witchcraft.

"How come there is no news..."

Mu Jiaoman's mind went blank, and his heart was filled with silence. The rather keen sense of smell he had developed over the years made him understand something important.

"There is something wrong in Wushan. This monster is definitely a stone that some cultivator asked for directions..."

Mu Jiaoman used witchcraft to squeeze out his lifespan, and finally repelled this monster. When he returned and went to the gorgeous jade bed, he realized that his death was coming.

"Get out of my way!"

A group of wives and concubines were crying and wailing, but they were interrupted by a roar. A mountainous man covered in runes rushed into the palace with an anxious face. The animal bones and jade he wore jingled, and he cheered up. Mu Jiaoman murmured. road:

"you……"

"Old slave, you're late!"

The big man was crying, but Mu Jiaoman suddenly came to his senses, grabbed his hand tightly, and murmured:

"It is said that my clan is located in Gongzi Shenmu, and all the other descendants...will be slaughtered together! Don't leave anyone alive."

"yes……"

"You remember it!"

Mu Jiaoman burst into tears, gritted his teeth and emphasized:

"The rest of the children must be slaughtered... don't be controlled by the Li family. We, the Shanyue clan, are tolerant rather than surrendering to him. Do you know that! Do you know that!"

The big man raised his head, with tears in his eyes not yet shed, but Mu Jiaoman let go of his hand and fell on the jade bed with a thump. He had already lost his breath. The big man in the mountain wiped his tears and said sadly:

"Your Majesty!...I'm going to see your Majesty!"

The bells in the city rang loudly, and Shangoe's soldiers continued to shuttle through the streets. Killing shouts and screams were heard everywhere. Those who used to be aloof were dragged out one after another, and their heads were beheaded neatly.

However, a gray-black ox cart had already driven out of the city and drove on the rugged Guli Road for a while. Several figures hurriedly jumped out of the ox cart and headed into the woods to the east.

"The old man really loves that shepherd's apple. Fortunately, I have spies in the palace, so I won't be slaughtered like a pig or a dog by him!"

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The few people behind him were obviously guards or counselors, and they followed the man in front closely. Someone asked a question, and then he saw him saying:

"I heard that my aunt is also a concubine in the east. The only way now is to flee east and join my aunt!"

A few people looked at the stars to determine their direction, then plunged into the dense and bottomless jungle and disappeared.

————

Li Tongya was reading "Yueque Sword Canon" in the cave, making silent gestures with his hands, praising him from time to time, and shouting in a low voice:

"Wonderful! It's simply wonderful!"

When Li Chijing returned home and wrote Yueque Sword Arc, Li Tongya was still a novice who had just started swordsmanship. He had never realized how exquisite Li Chijing's swordsmanship was. Later, as he improved year by year, With progress, based on the Yueque Sword Arc explained by Li Chijing himself, and with his own good talent in swordsmanship, his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and he soon understood the sword spirit, and finally understood that his younger brother was good at swordsmanship. What a profound understanding.

The explanation of "Yueque Sword Canon" is simple and incomprehensible. Li Tongya's slowly progressing swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few months. Many previously puzzling questions have suddenly become clear. After estimating the time, I am afraid that it will take less than ten years to understand the swordsmanship. A chance to reach the first realm of swordsmanship.

The Yue Que Sword Arc is just the starting move of this set of swordsmanship. There are dozens of exquisite combinations and changes of moves. Li Tongya was dazzled and admired. He was still making gestures in his hands, but he heard "Dumb" in front of the stone gate. "Beep" was sounded.

"who?"

Li Tongya raised his head and asked, and then heard the voice of his child Li Xuanling, who said respectfully:

"Father, someone from the Xiao family is here. He is a Qi Practitioner. I'm afraid we have to entertain him."

"I see."

Li Tongya thought for a few moments, then stood up and left the cave. Li Xuanling was waiting in front of the door and let out a low sigh when he saw this.

Li Xuanling is also difficult to do. There is a huge disparity between the status of the Qi Training Realm and the Fetal Breathing Realm. The Xiao family is benevolent to the Li family. If they don't send a Qi Training Realm monk to receive them, it will inevitably be a bit contemptuous and out of proportion.

Li Xuanfeng had already closed the door to death, and Li Xuanxuan did not dare to disturb him at the critical moment when he broke through to the Qi training realm. Although Chen Donghe was a Qi practitioner, he was not the one who could make the decision. It seemed that only Li Tongya did not live in seclusion, so he ran to the mountain. Please ask him.

Li Tongya put away the "Yueque Sword Code" in his hand, left the cave, and went to the main courtyard on Lijing Mountain with Li Xuanling. He saw a young man in his mid-twenties looking up at him. He was wearing a flowing robe and had an outstanding appearance. , was obviously shocked when he saw his appearance, he quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"This is Xiao Ruyu of the Xiao family! I have met my senior!"

Xiao Ruyu still thought that it was probably Li Xuanfeng who came to see him, but he didn't expect that the Li family valued him so much. Li Tongya came to greet him in person, and he was suddenly surprised and a little worried.

"Li Tongya is a senior of the same generation as his uncle Xiao Yongling, and he is also one of the most outstanding monks of his generation on the Guli Road..."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ruyu smiled and said:

"Ruyu heard about the senior from his uncle's mouth more than once, and he was very impressed. Ruyu has admired him for a long time, and now he finally meets him."

Li Tongya smiled gently. Seeing that he advanced and retreated in a measured manner and with extraordinary bearing, he felt a little good in his heart and whispered:

"I also heard Xuan Feng mention you. You are very courageous to accompany him deep into dangerous places!"

"Senior is so complimentary."

The two of them exchanged some polite words. Xiao Ruyu did not dare to be disrespectful and said respectfully:

"Ruyu came here for two important things. One is that out of ten houses in the county are empty, and people need to be relocated from various places. Among all the families, the Li family has the largest population, and the Xiao family is willing to pay a certain price..."

"This is nothing."

Li Tongya smiled and said warmly:

"My Li family can provide about a thousand men and women to work for the nobles every year, and the Xiao family doesn't need to ask for any compensation. With the relationship between our two families, why are you so polite?"

The Li family lacks everything now, except for the population. Every year, the people who escape from Shanyue are troubled by the Li family. They are worried that the excessive population of Shanyue will cause trouble and let the custom of Shanyue affect the Li family. If they are sent back, it will be too difficult. It's a pity, after all, it is also a large amount of labor.

It has been more than seven years since the Li family took over Huaqian Mountain. The population has increased from 5,000 to 20,000. Adding in the local population of the Li family of nearly 100,000, the Li family is almost as large as half the county. If it weren't for the support of hundreds of thousands of Shanyue from the west, it would be really difficult.
