"don't want."
Lu Siche looked up at Lord Li Ling, and said in the most sincerely pleading tone: "Wait a little longer."
Li Lingjun hesitated for a long time, he brushed his hair and nodded.
He knew that Lu Siche was right.
Even though that woman with supreme power would definitely be interested in his ideas, or had already waited for him to make some requests, he knew very well that the woman who was admired by the people of Changling on weekdays was admired by everyone in Changling. The woman wrapped in this kind of praise, in fact, also has a cold and decisive side that ordinary people can't match.
If he makes too many concessions, even if he can return to the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty that is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if he can finally sit on the most exquisite throne in the world, the entire Great Chu may no longer be the original Great Chu .
But how long can we wait
He turned his head sideways, looked at the dark night outside the window, and felt that every night in Changling was so long, but there was still not enough time.
When Lu Siche turned his head, his heart was pounding and his breathing stopped involuntarily.
Because he saw that Li Lingjun's hair was already white.
When the rooster crows, a faint red light flashes on the platform in front of the Taoist Temple at the highest point of Baiyang Cave.
On the futon in the small Taoist temple, Xue Wangxu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Li Daoji standing in the last darkness before dawn, cleared his throat, and asked softly: "That young man's recent practice can be counted. smoothly?"
Li Daoji nodded solemnly and said: "He is the most successful practitioner I have seen. In the past few days, the five qi sank into the Jade Palace. Half confused. The obstacles and hurdles that practitioners will encounter do not seem to exist in front of him."
There was also a trace of excitement in Xue Wangxu's calm eyes. He looked at Li Daoji and asked seriously: "Do you think it is really possible for him to break through to the second level before the sword sacrifice trial?"
"It depends on the speed at which he breaks through the realm. After all, the breakthrough of the big realm is completely different from the obstacles in the usual practice. If there are not many obstacles in this kind of breakthrough, then he should be able to break through to the alchemy within a month of practice. That kind of monster in the atmosphere." Li Daoji said these few words in detail, and then said in a slightly cold tone, "It's just that he was almost killed in the night that just passed."
Xue Wangxu was stunned.
He originally thought that Li Daoji appeared in front of him so early because he wanted to discuss Ding Ning's cultivation with him.
Li Daoji glanced at Xue Wangxu with a cold expression, and before Xue Wangxu could speak, he had already continued: "I don't know who it is, but the leader is a true Yuanjing, and there are many people in his body. The cultivator of the talisman, the Shendu Supervisor is already investigating this matter."
Xue Wangxu frowned, but he still didn't make a sound.
Li Daoji looked at him, and then said: "Ding Ning broke two ribs and suffered some injuries, but he was still able to live up to his expectations. He and a street figure who was only in the Qi Refining Realm actually took that person who was in the Real Yuan Realm. The cultivator was killed."
Xue Wangxu's brows stretched out suddenly, his eyes were full of strange blazes, he sighed softly: "This young man really gave us a long face in Baiyangdong."
Now Li Daoji frowned.
Because in his opinion, no matter how you look at it, this is not something to be happy about.
The strange brilliance in Xue Wangxu's eyes was still expanding, but his wrinkled old face also began to be full of strange brilliance.
He thought for a while, then stood up.
"You just stay here today, don't go anywhere." He smiled at Li Daoji in a good mood and said.
Li Daoji's breathing paused inexplicably, he felt something, looked up at Xue Wangxu, and said slowly: "Since the Shendu Supervisor has intervened, Ding Ning will naturally go back to the mountain safely, you don't need to go out at all. "
"That's different."
Xue Wangxu shook his head, his usually indifferent eyes began to be filled with a rare look of pride, this look was very similar to the look on Du Qingjiao's face when he left Baiyang Cave.
"Over the years, there have been few things in Aries Cave that make me feel happy and brighten my face."
"Finally, I got a half-day profound knowledge, and maybe even a one-month Qi training student, and it was specially left for me by my senior brother when he left, but he was almost killed last night."
"Of course I know that Shendujian will let him go back to the Aries Cave safely, but I haven't been out of the Aries Cave for a long time. If I don't go out... Even if I am alive, others will think I am dead."
"Do you know who is the scariest person in the world? It's not the kind of person who is not afraid of death, but the person who dies soon, and doesn't have to worry about whether he will die. I'm too old, I'm going to die soon, But in the end, I still have to remind people of this.”
Xue Wangxu's voice was still echoing in the Taoist temple, but his figure had disappeared.
Disappeared in front of Li Daoji, among the white clouds pressing on this Taoist temple.
Ding Ning woke up as usual when the first ray of dawn fell on the parasol trees.
He coughed lightly, the pain of two broken ribs was nothing to him at all, but under the intense exertion, the feeling of soreness all over his body that he hadn't felt for a long time still made him feel very uncomfortable.
The eldest grandson Qianxue sat at the window as usual, combing her long hair like a waterfall.
"The carriage in Baiyangdong is now parked outside the gate."
She didn't turn around, and said coldly: "However, there is another person in the carriage, and the coachman didn't notice it. It should be a practitioner who has reached the fifth realm, but he was injured. It should be Wang Taixu."
Ding Ning knew that her perception would never be a problem at this distance, his eyes were full of joy.
"Today is a bit special. I went back to Baiyang Cave earlier, so I can't cook porridge for you." He said apologetically to his eldest grandson Qianxue while washing up quickly.
The eldest grandson Qianxue was silent.
She wanted to retort, but she faintly felt that at least her progress in cultivation in this back alley over the years had exceeded her expectations, and she had even gotten used to what Ding Ning did for her in many cases.
Just like now, when he told her that he couldn't cook porridge for her, during the few breaths, what she thought in her mind was not that it would be fine if she didn't eat a meal, but that if she didn't have porridge to drink, she would be fine. Want to go out and buy something to eat
Maybe go buy a bowl of the kind of noodles he always eats
…
In front of the carriage parked outside the wine shop, the middle-aged coachman with a solid face waited anxiously.
He also already knew what happened last night, and knew that Ding Ning was seriously injured. He just picked up and sent Ding Ning to and from him every day for more than half a month. With his understanding of Ding Ning, he knew that even if Ding Ning couldn't return to Baiyang Cave today, he would know. I will tell him.
Suddenly seeing the door of the wine shop open, and seeing Ding Ning whose face was inexplicably pale for the first time, joy appeared on the driver's face, and a look of guilt immediately appeared in his eyes at the same time.
"How is your injury? Are you going back to Aries Cave today?"
"I mean, even if it's treating injuries, Baiyangdong must be better than the doctors in this neighborhood."
"I was really negligent yesterday... Later, some officials came to check my carriage. The axle was cut off by a sharp object after entering Changling. students, not to mention those teachers in Baiyang Cave...even the officials of each department will treat you differently, I really didn't expect anyone to deal with you."
"This was an accident, and you are not a practitioner. If you find out early, it may cost your life."
After talking to the coachman for a few words, when the coachman turned around and reined in his horse, Ding Ning quickly opened the curtain of the car by a small corner, and then flashed in quickly.
Looking at the figure quietly curled up on the flop, Ding Ning first made a silent gesture, then coughed lightly, and said to the driver outside: "I'm afraid I'm a little more anxious than usual today. If you can get off the car, please hurry up."
The coachman, who was favored by Baiyang Cave on weekdays, thought that Ding Ning was in a hurry to go back to Baiyang Cave for healing, and said plainly: "I have put extra cushions and bedding in it, and when it is going to be bumpy, you have to take care of it." Be careful."
After answering this sound, the coachman cracked his whip and started to run.
Under the cover of the sharp sound of horseshoes and rolling wheels, Ding Ning looked at Wang Taixu who was curled up beside him with a face like gold paper, and even his body seemed to have shrunk a little, and said softly: "It's so tragic. ... trying to hide in this white sheep cave carriage?"
Wang Taixu looked helplessly at Ding Ning who seemed to have realized that he was hiding in the carriage, and a pale smile appeared on his face.
"It's miserable."
"The few brothers who followed me to fight the world, those who could support two floors after I died, all died last night."
"In order to inquire about news and to be able to get on your carriage, two more people died for me."
"I have to admit that you gave me the biggest surprise again. In those assassinations last night, you and I were the only survivors."
Hearing these words, Ding Ning was not shocked, he just pondered, and said softly: "It seems that the nobleman behind Jinlin Tang is not reconciled?"
"As long as I survive these few days, I will make him pay for his unwillingness." Wang Taixu said softly, holding back his cough.
Ding Ning shook his head. He didn't answer Wang Taixu's words, but just muttered, "Will Baiyang Cave ignore me? At least Li Daoji should come out to pick me up..."
The fast-moving carriage was already driving on the official road on the outskirts of Changling.
Logically speaking, on such a wider road, the speed of the carriage would be faster, but Ding Ning and Wang Taixu who were sitting in the carriage could feel that the speed of the carriage slowed down.
More than a dozen chariots shining with cold bronze light occupied most of the road ahead, and dozens of sergeants in scale armor were checking the passing pedestrians and vehicles one by one.
Ding Ning opened a corner of the car curtain, and all he could see was the cold reflections on the scales and swords of the sergeants.
