Chapter 288: The Owner of the Museum Shows Up
In the night.
Li Rui walked out of the backyard of Qianhe Martial Arts Hall and bowed:
"Master He, I won't bother you any more."
See.
Qianhe Martial Arts Hall Master He Qiannian stood at the gate with his hands behind his back, smiling and waving: "By the way, if you see Jiang Linxian, remember to tell him that I didn't lose that day, and I will get that half move back sooner or later."
"Yes, yes."
"Senior is a martial arts master, so he is not necessarily worse than Brother Jiang."
Hearing Li Rui's compliment.
Although he knew that it was a deliberate flattery, He Qiannian was still very happy, especially when he heard the word "brother", he laughed:
"You kid"
Then he said: "Don't worry, I came to Qinghe with no intention of interfering in these matters, but just to accept the favor of the Marquis."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
After that.
Li Rui got on the carriage that had already stopped at the door and slowly disappeared into the night.
A moment later,
He returned to the Anningwei Military Governor's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Zhou, Zhou Ting and Bai Jing looking forward to it. Li Rui smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Master He has agreed."
Hearing Li Rui's words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The people were beaten.
But if He Qiannian wanted to settle accounts with the three sects, they would definitely not be able to bear it, so they stayed in the Military Governor's Mansion late at night, waiting for the result.
Li Rui said that he was going to see He Qiannian, and it took more than an hour before he returned.
They almost thought that Li Rui was beaten to death by Grandmaster He.
Unexpectedly, Grandmaster He did not stand on the side of his apprentice, but on the side of Li Rui.
Shi Zhou couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Li, do you know Grandmaster He?"
As for Li Rui, he knew his family background.
He stayed in Qinghe almost all his life, and he really couldn't figure out how he could get to know He Qiannian, who was originally from the Central Plains.
Li Rui chuckled: "Just a friend of a friend."
Friend of a friend.
The three looked even more strange.
But since He Qiannian had come forward, there was no need to worry.
What they feared was Qianhe Martial Arts School, not Guiyun Sect. He Wanchun was powerful, but their three sects would soon send innate warriors to Qinghe to take charge, so they were really not afraid.
The three thought that Li Rui had a relationship with Lord Yuan.
In fact, it was not the case.
Li Rui was able to meet He Qiannian because of Jiang Linxian.
To be precise, it was a piece of news in the court newspaper.
Others were paying attention to the martial arts review of the world, but Li Rui saw that Jiang Linxian had just arrived in the capital and had a fight with someone, and that person was He Qiannian.
He Qiannian lost half a move in the end.
And as early as when he heard the news, Li Rui had asked Wang Li to copy a copy of He Qiannian's files in Annan Town.
This person is a martial arts fanatic.
Since he is a martial arts fanatic, combined with the various actions of He Qiannian when he came to Qinghe, he could not make any guesses. He basically concluded that He Qiannian should not know about the monster business.
Everything was proposed by the eldest disciple Xiao Yu.
But if you want to meet He Qiannian or even convince him based on this alone, it is still impossible.
Beating someone's disciple, and wanting him to be happy?
If he was just a soldier of An Ning Guard, or a retainer of the Marquis's Mansion, He Qiannian would definitely support his disciple without a second thought.
So Li Rui went to see He Qiannian as Jiang Linxian's elder brother, and the reason was that his younger brother was reckless and came to apologize.
It was no secret in Qinghe that he was called elder brother by Jiang Linxian.
He Qiannian probably knew it.
Jiang Linxian's elder brother came to apologize in person, which was very attractive to He Qiannian.
As expected, he really met He Qiannian.
Then he "apologized" for Jiang Linxian.
This moment flattered old man He Qiannian, who was so happy that his mouth didn't fall for a whole hour.
Ahem.
After all, it was Jiang Linxian's face.
The matter was settled.
In the final analysis, it was Jiang Linxian who had a lot of face, not Li Rui.
It was just borrowing power.
The reason why Li Rui dared to borrow was not only because he had a deep friendship with Jiang Linxian, but also because the bulk of the profits from the monster business were handed over to Jiang Linxian.
It was not excessive to use it for a while.
As for why he didn't go to He Qiannian at the beginning.
He had the intention of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
He wanted to let the forces in the city see that Qianhe Villa had been defeated, and other forces would not be able to come either, otherwise they would face more troubles in the future.
Sure enough.
Since the news of Qianhe Martial Arts School spread, there were fewer forces in the city who wanted to visit Li Rui.
There was no way.
There was only so much meat.
Li Rui was not a god, and he had done his best to open up the existing trade route. The Great Witch gave him face, but if you pull the Great Witch's face to death, you will see whether the Great Witch will give him face.
So he has always controlled the monster business at a suitable degree.
He can't control what others do.
But his connections only allow him to eat so much, and he would not ask for more.
This is called contentment.
Li Rui was practicing sword in the courtyard, and then he saw a figure walking outside the courtyard gate.
"Master, I'm back!"
Liu Tiezhu's voice came before he arrived.
He just took the first step into the courtyard, turned his head and looked behind him, saying: "Look who I brought to you."
Then.
He saw a familiar strong old man following Liu Tiezhu in.
Tie Kuang.
Seeing Tie Kuang, Li Rui was delighted: "Senior Tie."
Tie Kuang followed Jiang Linxian to the capital. He thought he would not see Tie Kuang for seven or eight years, but he did not expect to see him again so soon.
He looked at the magnificent house.
Tie Kuang grinned: "Little Li, you have made a name for yourself. You have become a soldier. That's amazing."
Of course he knew that Li Rui had become a soldier in Anningwei.
After arriving in Qinghe.
He first went to the blacksmith shop before. He thought that after he left, the blacksmith shop would return to its original state, but he did not expect to meet Liu Tiezhu.
Liu Tiezhu insisted on dragging him to see Li Rui.
Let's meet.
Li Rui hurriedly took two steps and came to Tie Kuang and bowed:
"It's all because of my teaching."
Tie Kuang chuckled: "You are just good at understanding. It has nothing to do with me."
Although he said so, he knew it from the look on his face.
He was happy from the bottom of his heart.
In total, Li Rui and Liu Tiezhu are both half of his disciples. His disciples are successful, and his disciples are happy. At least it proves that his teaching is not in vain.
Li Rui then asked curiously: "Senior Tie, has the revenge been taken?"
Hearing about revenge, Tie Kuang rolled his eyes:
"What kind of revenge is this? I don't know what kind of luck this Blood Shadow Patriarch has. He actually broke through and became a second-grade grandmaster. What the hell is he doing? Even if he gives the immortal sword to Jiang kid, it's not a big deal."
Li Rui was secretly shocked when he heard it.
Blood Shadow Patriarch actually broke through.
Tie Kuang is afraid that there will be no hope of revenge in this life. Looking at Tie Kuang's look, we can know that he has accepted his fate.
He placed all his hopes on Jiang Linxian.
After all, Shenbing Mountain Villa has been built for a thousand years, and no second-grade has ever been produced. There is no one before, so don't put your hopes on future generations.
Tie Kuang snorted, "My nephew said that there was no one in the manor, and insisted that an old man like me come to Qinghe to help. So I have no choice but to come."
Li Rui suddenly understood.
He had heard Shi Zhou say before that Shenbing Villa would send a fourth-grade innate warrior to Qinghe to take charge. Now the monster business has been valued by the sect behind him.
Unexpectedly, it was Tie Kuang.
What a coincidence.
Li Rui: "Senior Tie, since you are here, why don't you live here with me? I will send someone to watch over Shenbing Villa."
Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui with a smile:
No mistake, one poem, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!
"What's the matter, do you have a blacksmith shop here?"
After a moment.
Tie Kuang looked at the big furnace, iron tongs, and anvils in Li Rui's backyard, which were all equipped, just like the specifications of a blacksmith shop.
He was speechless for a while.
"You kid, you really set up a blacksmith shop at home?"
"If Jiang knew you made his house look like this, he would definitely chop you up."
Tie Kuang was immediately happy.
Li Rui smiled: "The iron camp is permanent, but the soldiers are transient. Since I joined the army, the house is of course under my control. Since I met the senior, I have become more and more fascinated by the forging technique, so I thought about buying a set at home."
"You really keep thinking about it, and there must be a response. You came just after it was built."
Tie Kuang glanced at Li Rui:
"You kid, don't talk nonsense to me."
"You have learned the hammer qi method for so long, but you can't even forge a forge. You still have the nerve to say you are fascinated?"
Said so, but the joy on his face was not concealed at all.
Li Rui struck while the iron was hot: "Tie Zhu, come quickly and light a fire for Senior Tie."
"Okay."
Liu Tie Zhu responded, and excitedly rolled up his sleeves to light a fire.
After a while,
The sky-high flames lit up in the backyard of the military mansion.
Looking at Tie Kuang and Liu Tiezhu busying themselves, Li Rui knew that Tie Kuang would not leave.
The blacksmith shop in the backyard was certainly not dedicated to Tie Kuang.
When Tie Kuang left, he was sure that he would never come back, so why would he spend a lot of effort to invite Yunzhou's construction to build this blacksmith shop.
In fact, he built this blacksmith shop to change his weapons.
As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle.
Cangfeng is indeed a good sword, but the grade is only sixth grade after all, which is more or less not enough for Li Rui now.
So he thought of building a blacksmith shop and let Liu Tiezhu make a new sword.
After Tie Kuang's training, Liu Tiezhu now has the foundation to make a fifth-grade sword.
All he needs is a chance to practice.
But the blacksmith shop was just built not long ago, and before Liu Tiezhu was called, Tie Kuang returned to Qinghe, so Li Rui simply went with the flow.
Now it seems that Tie Kuang is very satisfied with this blacksmith shop.
At least he has no plans to leave in the short term.
Of course, Li Rui is not so conceited that he thinks that the blacksmith shop he hired someone to build is better than the one in Shenbing Villa and can keep Tie Kuang, the first person in Yunzhou to cast weapons.
In the final analysis, Tie Kuang himself does not want to see those people in Shenbing Villa.
He prefers to stay at Li Rui's house.
The blacksmith shop is just a step for Tie Kuang.
Li Rui walked out of the backyard with a smile on his face.
Tie Kuang lives at home, not only does An Ningwei have one more great god to guard the army, but also, if he stays for a long time, Li Rui can lick his face and let Tie Kuang make a handy weapon, right?
The abacus has been crackling for a long time.
He dared to "calculate" like this, of course, because he had a close enough relationship with Tie Kuang.
Otherwise, Tie Kuang would not have left the territory of the sect and run to his military mansion.
Spring goes and autumn comes.
The war in Wu Kingdom has been ups and downs, and now there are signs of calming down again.
As the war gradually subsided, trade between the two countries became hot again.
There are more and more foreign merchants on the streets of Qinghe, and the scene is full of vitality.
Li's house, under the pavilion.
Ning Zhongtian and Li Rui leaned on the recliner, leisurely and contented.
"Comfortable."
Ning Zhongtian comfortably rested his head on his arm, and the cool autumn breeze blew, sweeping away the last trace of heat.
The only flaw may be the sound of iron hammering from time to time.
"Brother, you are really amazing. The elder of Shenbing Villa did not go to his own home, but moved into the Canjun Mansion."
The Canjun Mansion was clanging every day, and this matter was of course impossible to hide.
Li Rui did not intend to hide it.
Even on the day Tie Kuang moved into the mansion, he sent someone to find Shi Zhou.
Shi Zhou came, and was scolded by Tie Kuang, and left again.
After that, he never dared to ask again.
Tie Kuang's move into his house had long been spread in Qinghe, causing many people to talk about it.
As time passed.
He gradually got used to it.
The people of Qinghe regarded this as another important testimony of Li Jiaoshi's personality charm.
The autumn is clear and refreshing.
The sky in autumn looks higher than other times.
Ning Zhongtian looked at the blue sky and remembered something: "By the way, big brother, is the autumn hunting coming?"
Li Rui nodded: "Yes."
Hearing this.
Ning Zhongtian immediately sat up straight and looked at Li Rui with shining eyes: "Big brother, I heard that our Yunzhou will also hold an autumn hunting?"
Li Rui smiled slightly: "The Marquis has this plan."
The Yu Kingdom was established by military force.
Emperor Taizu followed the example of the previous dynasty's great hunting and set the beginning of autumn as the day of the great hunting, so there was a saying of autumn hunting among the people.
All the royal relatives and some important officials followed the Holy Lord to the Tiannan Paddock, 800 miles outside the capital, to inspect and practice martial arts and hunt.
That was a great opportunity for young heroes to show their martial arts.
Marquis Yuan was conferred according to etiquette.
Although they don't have to travel thousands of miles to Tiannan Paddock, they still need to hold the autumn hunt in their fiefdom to show their loyalty to the Dragon Court.
The situation is similar to that of Annan Hou, and there is also Weiguo Gong.
In addition, other princes and nobles live in the capital, and naturally follow the Holy Lord to Tiannan Paddock.
If the martial arts examination is an opportunity for poor warriors, then the autumn hunt is a great opportunity for nobles and military officers.
Otherwise, why would Ning Zhongtian care so much.
Ning Zhongtian asked again: "Has the place for the autumn hunt been determined?"
Li Rui shook his head:
"This matter still needs to wait for the Marquis to decide."
