In the small courtyard of the cottage, Li Ye had someone untie Liu Zhiyan. When Shangguan Qingcheng brought tea, Li Ye poured a bowl and handed it to Liu Zhiyan. I was stunned for a while, but didn't respond for a while.

She looked at Li Ye in confusion and doubt, and finally confirmed that the bowl of water was indeed handed to her, and quickly took it with both hands: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Little Spirit Pill." Li Ye motioned to Shangguan Qingcheng, who took out a pill and handed it to Li Ye, who handed it to Liu Zhiyan, "You are seriously injured, this pill can relieve your injury. "
Liu Zhiyan was drinking water with her head buried in the bowl, when she heard the words, she almost spit out, she overreacted, she was choked up by the clear water, blushing, coughing non-stop, flustered for a while, extremely embarrassed.
It's no wonder she was flustered. Although Xiaoling Pill is not a precious medicine, it is relatively speaking. Liu Zhiyan, who relies on Weishui shipping goods for a living, has never seen a few decent magic weapons, let alone medicine pills. The entire Changhe Gang , now there are only two monks, she and the ugly husband.
Liu Zhiyan hurriedly bowed down: "How dare the little girl accept His Highness's reward without making an inch of merit?"
Li Ye popped the pill with his fingers, Liu Zhiyan quickly caught it, and said, "Since you have decided to join me, I won't treat you as an outsider and tell me about the situation of the Changhe Gang."
Liu Zhiyan took the elixir, naturally it is not good to return it, it would seem too ignorant, she glanced at Li Ye, then quickly lowered her head, this noble clan prince would personally pour water for him and even bestow the elixir Medicine, which was far beyond Liu Zhiyan's expectations.
"I shot him last night, doesn't he hate me?" Liu Zhiyan asked herself, she really wanted to stare at Li Ye for a while, look carefully, so as to know what Li Ye was planning, but she couldn't, that would be too rude.
"The twenty-fourth of the Weishuihe gang, the Changhe gang was originally ranked in the middle. There are more than a hundred members, more than 20 monks, and three qi practitioners. My father is the number one master of the Changhe gang. , the strength of the Changhe Gang has been weakened a lot."
Liu Zhiyan clasped her hands and pressed the Little Spirit Pill in her palms. When she said these words, her voice could not be called excited, but there was inevitably some sentimentality.
She went on to say: "The Weishui River Gang relies on Weishui freight transportation to survive. When the world was peaceful, it was originally just a loose force, gathering fellow villagers from all over the world. In recent years, the government has increasingly squeezed cargo ships and imposed excessive miscellaneous taxes. , has made it difficult for many river gangs to survive, coupled with the rampant chaos and bandits everywhere, the safety of cargo ships cannot be guaranteed, and many river gangs are 'poor and want to change'."
Liu Zhiyan raised her head and took a sneak peek at Li Ye, seeing that his expression remained normal, she continued: "Many river gangs began to beg for mercy from the government and became corrupt minions of the government. Cargo ships, and some river gangs took advantage of their power to draw down a section of the river and collect tolls... The current situation is chaotic, and the river gangs are also in chaos. Join in, so there will be a big gang... various interest struggles, and more bloody."
Li Ye remained silent. The so-called troubled times are approaching is definitely not an empty talk. The consequences of the government's dimness are rampant corruption and perversion of the law. There are many bandits in various places. Officials only care about fighting for power and profit, and the people have become the biggest victims.
As far as the Weishui River Gang is concerned, the original peaceful order has been broken, and the laws of the court have become a dead letter. Under such circumstances, one can imagine how much oppression and bullying, how many grievances and helplessness, how many families were destroyed, and every penny was bloody.
Li Ye looked at Liu Zhiyan, this quack girl, with a restrained and introverted personality. She restrained her emotions and her behavior, so every move she made was very small, she seemed cautious, for fear of being unpleasant, much like a little snail.
Li Ye wondered, if the order of the Weishuihe gang could be rectified, would it have the effect of buying people's hearts, and would it be possible to gather the luck of those people
But right now, that's still a long way off.
When Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan were talking, Wang Li came to report that someone asked to see him.
Li Ye came to the gate of the courtyard, looked to the left, and saw not far away, two people stopped by the yamen servants.
A tall, muscular man was leading a boy who was less than ten years old. Both of them were dark, darker than ordinary peasants, especially the boy, who was almost like a lump of coal.
Song Jiao hugged her arms against the door frame, propped up the beautiful scenery in front of her chest, and snorted coldly in Li Ye's ear: "Liu Dazheng, why is he here?"
But immediately she thought of something, so she was relieved.
When Li Ye saw Liu Dazheng, he also had the same problem as Song Jiao.
Li Ye has seen all the cronies around Li Xian. Song Jiao is often active in the rivers and lakes because of her secret errands. When she arrives in Chang'an, she seldom goes to Prince An's Mansion, so she seldom sees Li Ye. Liu Dazheng, as Li Xian's guard, Li Ye is very familiar with it.
However, after the Battle of Bagong Mountain, Liu Dazheng never came back. Unexpectedly, he reappeared today with a boy beside him.
Li Ye asked Liu Dazheng to be released and met in front of the door.
"Caomin has met His Highness." Liu Dazheng brought the boy to greet him.
"General Liu, are you safe?" Li Ye cupped his hands. In the past, Liu Dazheng was the commander of Li Xian's personal soldiers, that is, the chief general of the eight hundred soldiers in the palace.
At this time, a group of people appeared on the east side of the village, standing under an old tree, looking at the village from a distance.
Not many people, only four. The leader was a young man with an imposing appearance, and it was Li Keyong. Beside him, followed by a monk in cassock and holding a magic wand. This monk has a good skin, his face is like a crown of jade, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his lips are very bright red, his skin is unbelievably smooth, he can't tell his age, and he feels extraordinarily eerie.
"The person I'm looking for is in this village." Li Ke looked at the cottage with his hands behind his back.
"What is the wish of the donor?" the monk asked.
"I want him to die." Li Ke said flatly.
"As the benefactor wishes." The monk clasped his hands together and was about to leave.
"Master Huiming, please slow down." Li Keyong suddenly stopped him.
Monk Huiming stopped in his tracks: "The benefactor has changed his mind?"
"Of course, what I have decided should not be changed." Li Keyong said, "It's just that there are twenty yamen servants in this cottage, so let's go in like this?"
"If you can't come and go freely, how can the Lian envoy let the poor monk come to Chang'an with the benefactor?" Huiming always had a pleasant face, and his tone was not sharp at all, but what he said had the ability to infect people's hearts, and people couldn't help but believe it. .
An old man behind Li Ke said with a smile: "Master Huiming is the number one monk in Juexiao Temple in Yinshan Mountain. If you can't even take one move from the master, the general can rest assured."
Li Ke said in a deep voice: "What I want is to leave no trace and not be noticed by the world!"
Huiming smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this?" After speaking, Huiming waved his hand to the cottage, and a golden light shone on the cottage. The golden light that reached the sky above the cottage formed a light curtain at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the entire cottage.
"One flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi." After Huiming finished reciting the mantra, he flicked his fingers lightly, and a flower and a leaf flew out one after another from his fingertips. The flowers and leaves fell into the light curtain, and the golden light curtain rippled for a while. Youhu disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a quiet and peaceful village. There were still people coming and going in it, and it seemed orderly, forming a small world of its own.
Seeing this scene, the old man behind Li Keyong couldn't help admiring: "The flower and leaf enchantment of the Shimen is really extraordinary, I'm going to be an eye-opener today!"
Huiming didn't take it seriously, but just made a gesture of invitation to Li Keyong: "Even if the cottage is turned upside down, no one outside will be able to notice it. Donor, please."
Li Ke nodded and walked into the barrier with his hands behind his back.
In the small courtyard of the cottage, Li Ye was exchanging greetings with Liu Dazheng, when suddenly everyone's eyes changed and they looked up.
The golden light that enveloped the whole village was seen by everyone, until a golden flower and a golden leaf flew one after another and disappeared in midair, and everyone looked back.
Song Jiao was still leaning against the gate of the courtyard, she didn't move a bit, she didn't even let go of her arms around her chest, she just sneered: "Shimen flower and leaf enchantment, it seems that a master has come."
Wang Li's expression changed, and his eyes were full of fear: "Shimen's Flower and Leaf Barrier? That's not an ordinary method, someone with a high level of cultivation!"
He hastily cupped his hands to Li Ye: "Young Yin, please leave quickly, the officials will lead the servants to cut off the heir for Young Yin!"
Li Ye smiled: "If there is a visitor, is there any reason to avoid it?"
Liu Dazheng stood up and cupped his fists to Li Ye: "Liu Dazheng is willing to protect His Highness Zhouquan!"
Li Ye nodded, he also wanted to see how far Liu Dazheng's cultivation had reached, and who was stronger compared to Song Jiao.
The boy tugged on Liu Dazheng's sleeve, raised his head and asked anxiously: "Liu Dazheng...are you good? They say he is a master, you...are you also a master?"
The boy still can't imagine what kind of strength this big man who adopted him a few years ago has. Maybe the boy doesn't know what strength is. After all, the boy has never met Liu Dazheng during the years they lived together. Show off some extraordinary skills, all day is blacksmithing, after blacksmithing is smoking, other than that, only occasionally take the boy to fish in the river... Liu Dazheng's ability to fish, the boy is still convinced, then It's called a one-touch one.
As for the confrontation between Liu Dazheng and the Taoist this morning, the boy didn't see anything at all, and the flying over the wall he imagined didn't happen. Liu Dazheng and the Taoist just confronted each other for a long time, and then the Taoist made a sword, Liu Dazheng punched, and then ... The house collapsed, and the boy ran away... The boy didn't know that even if he didn't dodge, those flying logs would not hurt him.
Liu Dazheng patted the boy's head, and answered the boy's question in a gentle voice: "Almost an expert."
The boy's complexion suddenly fell. In his understanding, the words "almost" and "some" obviously have little power.
Liu Dazheng came to the gate of the courtyard, right in front of Song Jiao.
Song Jiao squinted at him: "Where's your knife?"
"Knife? Yes." Liu Dazheng pulled out a... kitchen knife from his waist, and then stepped out of the courtyard gate.
