Chapter 330 Trial Horse

After some discussion among the direct descendants, Li Tongya's funeral was still kept secret. Only white silk was hung on the mountain. Several direct descendants paid their own respects and dispersed.

The news of Li Tongya's death was known to several of his direct descendants before, and they had already completed their three years of filial piety. Now they just felt a little sad and hurriedly returned to their respective responsibilities.

Li Xuanxuan stayed at home for a few days, and rarely met with Li Yuanping every day. He hugged Li Ximing with a smile and teased him for a while, and said warmly:

"Tomorrow, how many alchemy books have you read?"

"You can already summon the elixir fire!"

Li Ximing nodded obediently, put his hands together, and summoned a handful of pure white fire. It was as warm as jade, as cool as water, and danced quietly in his two palms.

Li Yuanping happily hugged Li Ximing, looked at Li Xuanxuan with a smile on his face, and whispered:

"It's a rare occasion for my father to come back. He just needs to stay at home for a while, and leave the place in Fangshi to his family..."

"No."

Li Xuanxuan immediately looked serious and replied:

"I am old and have lost my ambition for progress. Father Zhong saw clearly, so he sent me to Fangshi."

His unsmiling face revealed a hint of shame, and he whispered:

"Your uncle can see clearly that I, Li Xuanxuan, am not really a great talent in running the family. I am only a capable shopkeeper at best. I have delayed a lot of things in running the family for so many years."

"It's just that the population was sparse at that time, and my father died young. My uncles always felt sorry for me, and the power in the family always rested on me."

There was a hint of guilt on his face, and he said warmly:

"Xuanling is actually much better than me. Father Zhong favored me, so he can only be reduced to obscurity. But even though my father died young, he is still loved by the villagers and respected by all the households."

"What about me...what about me..."

Li Xuanxuan sighed in ecstasy and said in a clear voice:

"How will the world call me a hundred years from now..."

Li Yuanping felt sour when he saw his father like this for the first time. He was about to speak when he saw Li Xuanxuan smiled slightly and continued:

"Fortunately, my home is full of vitality and orderly along the way. You are better than me, father, so do your best!"

After saying this, he smiled proudly, touched Li Ximing's head, stepped out of the yard, and left in the wind.

Li Yuanping laughed muffledly and looked down. Li Yuanjiao walked into the hall at the right time. It seemed that he didn't want to disturb the conversation between the two of them. After waiting outside for a while, he sat down beside him and saw a person coming up to bow. road:

"The head of the family, the master of Dongshanyue, Huo Moli, came here alone with his horse. He said that he had broken through the fourth level of Qi training and wanted to go up the mountain to practice and no longer covet power."

"Molly?"

Li Yuanping raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Yuanjiao aside, and whispered:

"I remember that there was a son raised in my family in Sumo... He is a branch of my Li family, called Li Jiman. A few years ago, he went to Shanyue to govern a city."

"good."

Li Yuanjiao moved his cup, obviously he had already considered this matter. Li Yuanping turned over the case table, found a small letter, frowned and said:

"The evaluation from the Zhengyuan is that he is courteous and has the demeanor of a good man."

"From a brother's point of view, how is this person?"

Li Yuanjiao has been cultivating in Dongshanyue all year round and understands these things. Hearing this, he shook his head:

"This person is respectful on the outside, but aggressive on the inside. He is much more restless than Sima Li. Fortunately, the Dongshanyue family has become a noble family, so it would be good to use this person as a sword."

"oh."

Li Yuanping put away the small letter and took a sip of tea. Dou Yi, who was lowering his head, finally found the opportunity to interrupt and whispered:

"Master, there is a demon horse subdued by Hua Moli. It is at the fifth level of fetal breath. It is only a hair's breadth away from the horse that Jia Nixi had back then. I heard that it leaves no trace in the snow, just like a ghost."

"oh?"

Li Yuanping raised his head when he heard this and looked at his brother with a smile. Li Yuanjiao said warmly:

"But a good horse?"

"It's natural!"

Dou Yitian responded with a flattering face, but Li Yuanping shook his head and said:

"You always have to test ride a horse to know whether it is a good horse. A horse that is too strong can easily hurt its owner, and a horse that is too docile cannot run a thousand miles."

Dou Yi nodded without knowing why, but Li Yuanjiao on the side laughed and replied:

"Then leave it to Brother Ping."

"Brother, don't worry."

Li Yuanping lowered his eyebrows and looked at the letter in his hand, nodded steadily, and said in a deep voice:

"Tell him to come in!"

The next person stepped back in response, and not long after, he saw a man in rich clothes and a jade crown walking in. He said respectfully:

"Moli has met the head of the family!"

This person is none other than the Lord of Shanyue, Hu Moli. He is currently at the fourth level of qi training. Although he is practicing miscellaneous qi, his skills are so profound that he is not much worse than an ordinary righteous monk. Li Yuanping glanced at him and said warmly:

"Since you want to give up your position and go up the mountain to practice, are you willing to follow my brother to Mount Wutu?"

"The villain wants it all!"

Mori knelt down on one knee and responded respectfully. After completing this form, Li Yuanjiao stood up and said with a smile:

"Then I'll go back to the mountain first!"

"good!"

Li Yuanping nodded, watched his elder brother Li Yuanjiao and Shao Mori say goodbye and left, waved to Li Ximing who was squatting beside him helping the small case and watching the crowd silently, and said with a smile:

"Go and put on your military uniform."

Li Ximing's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked:

"Father, where are we going?"

Li Yuanping took off his cloak and said warmly:

"Test the horse!"

————

The climate on Wangyue Lake has always been stable. Droughts and floods have been rare in decades. This year's rains came as expected, with a continuous rain. Midsummer is over, and the evening breeze has become cold.

Li Yuanping has been in great spirits recently. He is dressed in military uniform and riding a horse at a rapid pace. His pale complexion rarely turns rosy. Li Ximing in his arms is leaning on his chest and laughing non-stop.

"drive!"

He pulled the rope and galloped on the road. The crowds of cars with waving black flags behind him were left behind. He, who had always been leaning softly on his head, was full of heroism. He had a rare sense of heroism and laughed endlessly. .

The Li family is much richer now. The horse under Li Yuanping's lap is a tribute from Shanyue. It is called "Chongji". It treads the snow silently and moves forward like a ghost. It has the fifth level of fetal breath cultivation. It was surrendered by Hu Moli himself and led to Li Jing. Mountain donation.

Li Yuanping got a good horse and galloped for a while, rushing from the outskirts of Lijing Town to the outskirts of Wutu City in Dongshanyue. Li Ximing in his arms was overjoyed, his black hair was blown up by the wind, and he said in a childish voice:

"Dad! Where is this?!"

"Eastern mountain and more."

Li Yuanping's expression was high, he suppressed his cough in his throat, suddenly stopped his horse, raised his whip, pointed at the rolling mountains to the north, and said with a smile:

"To the north of this mountain is Wutu. It is said that Duke Xiang Ping led his troops to cross here. He was only two miles away from Mujiaoman's army. Xiang Pinggong held the title of Meili and reined his horse, so he escaped the disaster."

Li Ximing listened intently and saw Li Yuanping saying warmly:

"Down from this mountain is Wutu City, the border city of Dongshan Yue. It is considered prosperous. Li Jiman has been managing affairs in this city for ten years."

"Li Jiman."

Li Ximing thought for a while and replied:

"The son of Mori, the crown prince of Shangyue...will inherit the throne of Shangyue soon."

"Yes."

Li Yuanping responded to the words of the child in his arms, glanced left and right, and saw the sound of rain falling on the branches and leaves. Knowing that the Yuting guards and several guest officials had been closely protecting him, he believed in the horse and walked along the road.

He drove the horse carelessly, his ears twitched slightly, and he said interestingly:

"Li Jiman is a smart man, but he likes to fight and kill. He is courteous on the outside but cunning on the inside."

After reining in the horse, he snorted and walked up the high slope. The scenery on the mountain was unobstructed. Screams and roars came one after another, and the ground was covered with blood.

There is a plain below the mountain, with the wall of Wutu City in the distance. A group of skinny Shanyue people are tremblingly holding up hoes and pitchforks, surrounding a gray wolf. The wolf seems to have a shallow cultivation level, and it keeps roaring. .

On the hill next to it, there are brown carriage flags waving, long forts, and a group of soldiers sitting on the wall watching, playing and laughing. At the top sits a young man, holding a melon and fruit in his hand, laughing.

"This is Li Jiman!"

Li Yuanping recited something calmly. Li Ximing in his arms frowned and whispered:

"Dad, what is he doing?"

"Watch a show."

Li Yuanping uttered two words coldly, and then he saw a certain nobleman below laughed, threw a melon and fruit, and hit the wolf demon accurately on the head, stimulating the wolf to become ferocious and howl. Tear a man to pieces.

The farmer's body was so thin that it was shattered into pieces on the ground in a matter of seconds, which aroused the ferocity of the wolf and howled.

The princes of Shanyue and Li Jiman on the hillock watched intently and burst into laughter. The body fell down, and there were intestines and blood everywhere. Li Ximing couldn't help but turn his head and couldn't bear to look at it.

"Watch carefully."

Li Yuanping patted his shoulder gently and said warmly:

"Keep this scene in mind... then you will know what the dandy below can do behind your back if the criminal law is not strictly enforced."

He paused slightly and said:

"Cultivation is stagnant, there is no way forward, tired of playing with dogs and horses, tired of eating delicacies, sitting on power and strength that far exceeds that of ordinary people, you will always come up with some new ways to play."

Li Ximing nodded thoughtfully and saw Li Yuanping sneer:

"Get the bow!"

The Yuting guard on the side quickly handed over the long bow. Li Yuanping sat firmly on the heavy horse, exhaled loudly, tilted his head to string the bow, squinted at the people at the bottom of the mountain, and said warmly:

"Tomorrow, keep an eye on it."

"call out--"

The long arrow shot through the air, and the runes tattooed on it emitted a burst of dazzling white light, falling like a meteor, and fell down the mountain.

At the bottom of the mountain, Li Jiman was stretching out his arms and holding fruits in his hands. He didn't feel anything about the scene in front of him, so he just treated everyone perfunctorily. Tian Rong on the side stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Brother Man? How about this? Is it interesting enough?!"

"It's interesting!"

Li Jiman glanced at him, secretly scornful, breathed the air at the foot of the mountain, and said to himself:

"The Tian family is controlling the government in Dongshan. Seeing that the old man is about to abdicate, how can he be a puppet like Moli?...But Tian Zhongqing is cautious. If he wants to catch their handle and exchange interests with the Tian family, he has to start from Tian Rong started..."

He seemed to be watching the wolf monster trapped in a fight, but he was still thinking about how to get the government of Dongshanyue into his hands, but he never thought that his eyes would light up, and a white light would fall from the sky.

"Bang!"

The wolf demon was only one level of fetal breath, so it could not withstand the arrow. It exploded into blood clots with a bang and splashed blood all over the floor. Tian Rong, who was smiling foolishly on the side, jumped up angrily and cursed as if he had been slapped. road:

"How dare you! Who dares to disturb my master's elegance!"

Li Jiman had already stood up and raised his head. His eyesight at the peak of his breath allowed him to see the face of the man on the mountain clearly in an instant. For a moment, his mind went blank and he was shocked.

"Li Yuanping..."

He fell to his knees with a plop, lying on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the ground. He was frightened and horrified for a moment, his chest and back were soaked with sweat, and his eyes were red:

"The master hates killing the people and bullying the superiors the most... It's over now!"

"Who harmed me... Tian Zhongqing... Yes, it must be Tian... Tian Zhongqing... Damn it! No wonder you asked me to come here to have a feast, what a Tian Rong!"

The nobles in the mountain suddenly felt that something was not good and fell to their knees one after another. Tian Rong was stunned for several breaths and even tried to drag a few people on the ground. Then he knelt down and was at a loss what to do.

Li Yuanping, who was halfway up the mountain, was dressed in military uniform. He was holding Li Ximing, who was carved in pink and jade, with a calm face and looked at them quietly.

"Dad...they are so afraid of you! Do you want to kill them?"

The boy's clear voice echoed in the mountains, making everyone's hair stand on end. Li Jiman even closed his eyes tightly, wishing to cut Tian Rong and Tian Shi into pieces together.

Li Yuanping held the horse steadily, whispered in the eldest son's ear:

"No."

"Li Jiman is a smart man, and Tian and Tian Zhongqing are even smarter."

He handed the magic bow in his hand to the Yu Tingwei on the side. Without looking down at the people kneeling on the ground one by one, with their foreheads pressed to the ground, he held Li Ximing in his arms and said in an inaudible voice:

"Daddy will teach you how a smart person can control a group of smart people."

"good!"

So he smiled coldly, pulled the rope, turned the horse's head, and stepped lightly with a heavy hand. The sound of the horse's hooves was silent, and he slowly walked into the dense forest.

The Jade Court Guards on both sides glanced coldly at the people below, and then disappeared with their horses riding heavily. After more than ten breaths, Li Jiman, who was below, raised his head and shouted:

"The master of the house is aware of everything! I am so grateful for the kindness I have received from you!"

There was only the whistling of the wind, but there was no answer. The hatred in Li Jiman's eyes almost overflowed.

"Tian...Tian...I, Li Jiman, are at odds with you!"

He stood up, stared at Tian Rong hatefully, and cursed:

"You're so good at pretending! It took a lot of effort on your part to trick me into watching this show, right? I'm telling you! I'm telling you!"

Li Jiman determined that Tian Rong on the side had obtained Tian Zhongqing's order and deliberately lured him here. When Li Yuanping saw him, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang and cursed:

"Shuzi! How dare you bully me!"

Tian Rong was completely confused and couldn't figure out what had just happened. Li Jiman's expression changed, and he resisted the urge to chop him down. He kicked him on the shoulder and made him fly several feet away. Screaming in pain like a gourd rolling on the ground.

"roll!"

Seeing Tian Rong running away, Li Jiman looked ugly. He was different from these Shanyue nobles. He was of the blood of the Li family and was under the control of the clan's main court. Even if Li Yuanping did not punish him, there would be no one from the clan's main court in front of him after a while. Let’s check…

Li Jiman thought about the troubles that would follow, and his heart went cold:

"Damn it!"

It’s the third update! To make up for yesterday's update, this paragraph was written in a bit of a hurry. Originally, this plot point could be divided into two times. I didn't want it to be too confusing, so I briefly wrote it once. I hope the rhythm can be more stable and enrich the images of these people~ (If This chapter is a little quick, so I can reflect on it~)
