Leng Ruoxing felt a little uneasy when she looked at the young man beside her who was accompanying him leisurely and contentedly to visit the most famous scenic spot in Lulong Mansion - Dade Temple.
This is a large-scale Taoist temple. It is said to be the largest Taoist building in the northern part of the empire. The entire Dade Temple covers an area of hundreds of acres, with rows of pines and cypresses and dense ancient trees. The palace architecture is exquisite and elegant, and the statues are exquisitely carved and luxurious. It is truly Taoist. A masterpiece in architecture. There are nearly a hundred Taoist priests in the temple. Over the years, the incense has flourished, and pilgrims from all over the country come in an endless stream.
What's even more rare is that there is a long-standing library hall in the temple, which is said to be hundreds of years old. There are many Taoist secret treasures and rare books in the library hall, such as "Three-hole Bead Bag", "Tai Dan Zhi Zhi", "Three Days" "Book of Changes", "Xuangang Lun", "Book of Changes Shen Tongqi", "Xisheng Jing" and many other works are among the best in the world. Wu Feng had heard about them for a long time. Not long after he entered Lulong, he borrowed them in the name of When he went to the temple to borrow a book, in view of Wu Feng's identity, the host of the temple knew that it was a tiger borrowing from a pig, and he would never return the borrowed book. Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to open the door and greet the thief.
Until many years later when Li Wufeng revisited Dade Guan as the emperor of the empire, the then chief disciple of Dade Guan was already the abbot of Dade Guan. He told Wu Feng that his master still remembered the few treasures that Wu Feng had "borrowed" before his death and ascension. The promise made by the Taoist classics was to renovate the Dade Temple and make it one of the most famous Taoist places in the empire. Wu Feng, who was quite sighing, recalled the past and graciously agreed to allocate funds to repair the Dade Temple. He personally re-inscribed a plaque for Dade Temple. Since then, Lulong Dade Temple has become even more famous and prosperous than before.
Some people with good intentions inquired and learned that the emperor of the empire at that time accompanied a mysterious woman to visit the temple. The resulting question of the identity of this woman has always been difficult to find in the official history. When a close minister asked about this matter, His Majesty the Emperor always talks about him.
Only Mulig, who was already the Marshal of the Imperial Forbidden Army, had some idea about it, but he was calm by nature and never told anyone about it. Even when faced with the questioning of His Majesty the Emperor and his concubines, he kept silent and only talked with him once and a few times. A colleague who had been serving in the army since he was a child once mentioned it slightly when he was drunk. However, when he sobered up, no matter what others asked, he could no longer take anything out of his mouth. This caused a group of tabloid reporters to hang around his family all day long, hoping that What can you smell from it? This also became a major suspense in a lace book that was later rated as the most popular romance book in the empire, "Romance without Love - One Hundred Questions about the Romance of the Emperor of the Empire".
"Master Li, didn't you say that you are busy with military affairs, why do you find time to spend time with the slave family now?" He asked with a slight smile, this peerless enchanting woman moved her steps slowly, swayed her hips and twisted her waist, and displayed her charming charm in every gesture of her hands and feet. , but he is dressed in Taoist attire, which is enough to make the Taoists in the Taoist temple shake their hearts and make them want to return to secular life.
"Haha, since Miss Leng rarely comes to Lulong, although Li is not the master, he still has the advantage of being the first to come. No matter how busy he is, he must take time to accompany you, Miss Leng." Wu Feng called. Haha, I blocked the words easily.
"Hey, Mr. Li, don't say that. The slave family can't afford it. The slave family is just a commoner. They have to ask for many things from you, sir. How can you deserve such courtesy?" Leng Ruoxing's eyes flashed, her red lips lightened. Kai, revealing a mouth of white, fine silver teeth.
"Hehe, it must be Li's blessing to be with a beautiful woman. How many people can't imagine it? Miss Leng, don't you think so?" Wu Feng's words at this time were already a bit ambiguous.
Leng Ruoxing's beautiful eyes were looking forward to her, and her jade face was reddish. No one in the world had dared to tease her like this, but this guy in front of her was an extraordinary person. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, and his extraordinary grace was honestly really moving. Moreover, deep down in her heart, she always seemed to have an unspeakable feeling for this man, which was a bit surprising even to herself who didn't want to admit it.
"Mr. Li is surrounded by beautiful women. The slave family is no more beautiful than a willow tree. How can it be worthy of the word beauty? Master Li is joking." His tone was calm, Leng Ruoxing threw Wu Feng's words aside without being soft or hard.
After suffering a soft nail, Wu Feng was not discouraged. His long-term experience in dealing with women has already allowed him to develop a body of steel and iron. He smiled and said: "Miss Leng is beautiful in the country, and she is the most beautiful woman in the world. There is 'Tianshan Leng' in the world." The name "Beauty" seems to be widely spread in the imperial martial arts community."
Somewhat surprised that the other party actually knew so much about the situation in the world, Leng Ruoxing glanced at the other party and said with a faint smile: "These are just boring people talking nonsense. Lord Li is also interested in these words?"
Hitting another snag, Wu Feng couldn't say more. He changed the subject and turned the topic to the other party's concerns: "Miss Leng, hasn't your Tianshan Sect been developing very well in the Western Regions? The situation in the Northwest is also good. , why come to Lulong for development?”
When talking about the affairs of his own sect, Leng Ruoxing became obviously interested, "You don't know something, sir. In fact, this Jianghu sect is just like a political power. It has its ups and downs. It's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Our Tianshan sect is already The century-old sect was already the top sect in the imperial martial arts world thirty years ago. However, since the Luo Bei cavalry swept across the northwest, almost all local forces have been uprooted and lost their popular base. Jianghu sects It also lost the soil for survival, which is why the Tianshan Sect retreated to the Western Regions and the Snow Mountain Sect declined."
Wu Feng nodded silently and did not express any opinion. He just walked silently with Nu Lang on the quiet path inside the temple.
"Although Tianshan is located on the frontier, it is still part of the imperial martial arts chain, and most of its disciples are from Tanghe. Although they retreated from the Western Regions at that time, they have always been looking forward to returning home. Fortunately, there is a lot of manpower to drive out the Luobi people and develop the economy. Reviving the war-torn northwest has allowed our Tianshan and Snow Mountain sects to regroup. But after all, the northwest’s economic strength is limited and its population is far less than that of the Central Plains. The Central Plains has always been the center of talent gathering. If we want to develop To strengthen the sect, which sect doesn’t want to establish a foothold in this area? It’s like an adult who wants to show his ambitions. If he can’t gain a foothold in the Central Plains, I’m afraid everything will be a castle in the air, right?” Speaking of the last two sentences, the girl said He couldn't help but glance at the young man next to him.
Wu Feng's heart trembled. He didn't expect that this charming girl could have such a sharp gaze and actually pry into his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Miss Leng is serious. What ambition does Li have? It's just a chance that Li I had no choice but to push myself into this position. As for marching into Lulong, Li couldn't bear to see the great country fall into the hands of a bunch of evil cults. If these people succeeded, two hundred people in Lulong would be trapped in water and fire. As the chief executive of a neighboring prefecture and county, Li also feels guilty."
"Your concern for the country and the people is evident every day, and the Nu family deeply admires it. Just as your Excellency said, our sect is actually the same. We have also been pushed by the situation into a situation where we must develop and survive. At present, the countries in the Western Regions are in chaos. The situation is turbulent, and several prefectures in the northwest are vying for supremacy. We originally wanted to get your support to develop in Northern Luzon, but you have other arrangements. In desperation, we have nowhere to go. No, that's it. It is true that you are a nobleman of our sect. Your Excellency has entered the Lulong Mansion again. If the slave family does not come earlier, I am afraid that this sect will not be able to gain a foothold. If our sect wants to regain its foothold as a major martial arts sect in the empire, Therefore, we have to seize every opportunity to develop and strengthen our sect, and choose the right port and opportunity. This is also the most important factor in the development of the sect." Leng Ruoxing is so smart, he immediately used the topic and followed Wu Feng's topic By extension, involving her own sect's affairs, even Wu Feng had to admire her quick wit.
"Haha, Miss Leng, you are really good at following the rules. As I said before, I have not promised you anything. Besides, it is not the responsibility of Li to decide the affairs of Lulong Mansion. That is the scope of authority of Mr. Mi Fengmi. , Li has no right to intervene." Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Feng quickly stabbed the wound first.
"Eh? Sir, you seem to have promised the Nujia Gang to negotiate with Mr. Mi. Why did you go back on your promise?" Leng Ruoxing smiled sweetly, without any hint of questioning tone.
"Well, I'll do what I promised, but it's not up to Li to decide how effective it will be." Wu Feng quickly explained that he didn't want to see a duplicitous image in front of a beautiful woman.
"But then again, since the Tianshan Sect wants to develop and grow, it's not that Li can't support you. It's just that Li is thinking that you, the Tianshan Sect, need to show some sincerity to prove yourself." Wu Changing the topic, he put forward his idea with a smile.
His heart sank secretly. Although Leng Ruoxing had expected that the other party would not be so easy to deal with, he still did not expect that the other party would make such a straightforward request.
"Don't you think the sincerity shown by our sect is not enough? Sir, please don't forget that last time, our sect provided you with the news that the Huanfeng Sect was going to assassinate you?" Leng Ruoxing skillfully brought up the topic. It’s related to the original assassination.
Naturally, Wu Feng would not be so easy to take the bait, "Really? But when I asked your Tianshan sect to provide strength to strengthen my defense force, it seems that I didn't get much help from your sect? But what was the result? Just a few words without a clue. I'm afraid it's hard for Wuwei's words to prove your so-called sincerity, right?" At this point, Wufeng's face darkened.
Leng Ruoxing couldn't help but groan secretly when she saw it, but she also knew that sooner or later she would have to face such a showdown. She calmed down and said softly, "Then Sir, you might as well explain clearly, what exactly do we need from our sect? As long as it does not violate our principles. The principle of establishing a faction is not to harm the interests of the faction, and everything can be discussed."
"Okay, it's refreshing enough. Li likes a straightforward person like Miss Leng, who doesn't show mercy to women! Li is not an unreasonable person, and he won't put forward some impossible demands. We can come down and discuss the specific situation. , this Great Virtue Temple is a famous Taoist architectural complex in the north of the empire, let Li Yin and Miss Leng have a good visit." Seeing that the other party had made his position clear, Wu Feng felt relieved, but took a step back and talked about other things.
