After walking out of the blacksmith shop, Li Mengzhou walked straight towards Si Lane.

The sound of anxious footsteps came from behind.

Chen Jiyue caught up with him, grabbed Li Mengzhou, and said angrily: "Why do you want me to pay for your sword?"

Li Mengzhou said with peace of mind: "I don't have money."

Chen Jiyue: "..."

It was such a straightforward reason, Chen Jiyue was speechless.

The key is that you have no money, so why do you have to buy a sword? Why do you have to pay for a sword when you buy a sword? Is this young lady very much like a sucker?

Chen Jiyue felt very wronged.

Li Mengzhou thought about it seriously and said, "You are not the eldest lady of the Shen family. You should be very rich. As a classmate, you always have to help me who is not rich. Although I do have no money to pay you back, if you need my help, I will not be stingy. It is your investment in me."

Chen Jiyue didn't really care about these things, but thinking that thirty-five taels of silver would allow Li Mengzhou to help him do something in the future is not too much. And even if he really lost, it would be no big deal. Anyway, she has money.

So Chen Jiyue also lost interest in walking, so she waved her hand to say goodbye to Li Mengzhou, and left the city alone and returned to Ligong Mountain Gate.

......

There is a building in the capital, which belongs to the inner city and is famous all over the world.

The building is nine floors high, with carved beams and painted roads, jade bi and golden palaces, flying eaves and brackets, and green tiles and golden tiles. If you climb to the top of this building, you can see the entire inner city.

This building is called Taiqing Tower.

On the eighth floor of Taiqing, two young men were sitting opposite each other, holding black and white Gemini in their hands, and started a game.

If Li Mengzhou was here, he would definitely recognize these two people as Guan Muyun and Wang Chuan whom he met in the teahouse in the outer city not long ago.

Guan Muyun seemed to be focusing on the chess game, with her brows slightly frowning.

Wang Chuan is more about looking at the decoration and environment in this room.

"It is worthy of being the first floor of Langya, and it is ranked alongside Wenrou Township."

Wenrou Township is a brothel, and Taiqing Building is a restaurant. It was not an industry involved, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the first place.

This is Wang Chuan's first entry into Taiqing Building, and he even reached the eighth floor.

If it weren't for the identity of a student at Guan Muyun Academy, how could he have borrowed such dazzling light?

As for the ninth floor of Taiqing Building, even Guan Muyun, who is a student in the academy, is not qualified to go up. It is a place dedicated to receiving real big shots.

Guan Muyun seemed to have some worries, and he held the chess for a long time and sighed suddenly, saying, "That person is not what he said. He does have deep attainments in painting, which makes me feel inferior."

Wang Chuan was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Although Li Mengzhou is not very good in the past two days, it will always have something to be worthy. What if he has a high level of accomplishment in painting? After all, he is a practitioner, and he is far inferior to Brother Guan in practice. There is really no need to make trouble for such a person."

Guan Muyun said calmly: "Looking at his style today, he is not a simple person. His breath is vague and long, which does not surprise me too much. After all, he has entered Amaterasu, which is not surprising. I am not really too concerned. It's just that he has such a high attainment in painting, but he has been a mess in his practice and has become a joke for many people in the capital. It's always a pity."

Wang Chuan said incomprehensiblely: "Why should Brother Guan be a pity for him? Speaking of which, I haven't even passed the academy exam, isn't it even more a pity? No matter what, he is also a person who has entered Amaterasu. The lack of qualifications but can enter the Li Palace is what really makes me a little envious and jealous. I really don't understand why the people in the Li Palace want someone like him?"

Suddenly.

Guan Muyun pinched Bai Zi's hand and fell on the chessboard, making a crisp sound. He smiled and said, "Li Palace is different from the academy, and the rules are different. Maybe this person has good luck, otherwise how could he be so dazzling in the teahouse?"

Wang Chuan continued to make a move and said, "I'm so happy, so don't talk about this person anymore. I'll prepare to take the court exam soon. I might be able to get a job in the next year. The exam process is very long. This winter will not end. Maybe I can't meet Brother Guan so often in recent days."

Upon hearing this, Guan Muyun felt a little sad and didn't say anything. He grabbed Bai Zi, thought for a while, and then he was very confident in pressing the chessboard.

Bang.

The crisp sound of the chess piece falling was very beautiful, like a mountain spring dripping from the secluded treasure, and ripples rippled again.

......

Li Mengzhou originally planned to return to Chaosi Lane, but he also heard a lot of rumors about him along the way, which inevitably affected his mood.

Thinking that I haven't been to Wenrou Village for a few days, it's better to relax and tell everyone Yu about the admission to the Li Palace by the way.

He had no relatives and no reason in the capital, and no one could talk about it. Whether it was a happy event or a worry, he was very lonely without anyone caring about it.

At this time, the gentle countryside was very empty, and only the girls sat together, chatting about melon seeds and having fun.

Although Li Mengzhou hadn't been here a few times, it seemed that the girls recognized him and greeted him very kindly.

He did not see Miss Wu'er. Although he was a little confused, he did not ask any more questions, so a girl led her to the second floor.

Everyone Yu was as happy as ever. When she saw Li Mengzhou, she smiled and said, "Congratulations on your admission to Li Palace."

Li Mengzhou looked at the girl who closed the door and walked out, and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that everyone in Yu already knows it."

Everyone Yu smiled and said, "Your name has been spread all over the capital, and it's hard not to know it."

Li Mengzhou sat directly on the furry carpet, placed the black green sword next to it, and said, "I guess everyone knows that I can't see the Qihai."

Perhaps he didn't hear too much loneliness in Li Mengzhou's words. Everyone in Yu said unexpectedly: "I originally planned to enlighten you, but it seems that you don't care much."

Shaking his head slightly, Li Mengzhou said, "I cared about it at first, but I just thought it through. I will try my best to find a solution to the problem, and our dean will also help me."

Everyone Yu was stunned for a moment, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said, "Since President Xue comes forward to solve the problem in person, you can relax. This person has always been very conceited. Although he was young, he would not change much. Since he recruited you into the hospital, he would never ignore you. He would definitely try his best to help you solve this problem. For him, this is also a matter of showing his conscience."

Li Mengzhou said in confusion: "Can you all know Dean Xue? It seems that you know him very well?"

Everyone Yu smiled and said, "I know a lot of people in the capital, and of course there are also many big names. What's so strange about knowing Dean Xue."

Li Mengzhou nodded silently and didn't think much about it. After all, everyone Yu's explanation was very reasonable.

Looking at the sword placed next to him, Yu said, "This seems not the sword you are carrying behind you, right?"

Li Mengzhou was not surprised that everyone knew about the sword. Although it was once wrapped in black silk, the shape was easy to distinguish, and it was just those kinds of things. With everyone's cleverness, of course it was easy to guess.

He replied truthfully: "I just bought this in a blacksmith shop. I spent thirty-five taels of silver, although it was spent by others. Everyone knows that I really don't have much money."

Everyone Yu smiled and said, "After you came to the capital, you owe a lot of debts. You should find a way to pay it off in the future."

Speaking of debt, Li Mengzhou suddenly recalled and said in confusion: "I didn't see Miss Wu when I entered the door just now. Could it be that she is sick?"

Everyone Yu's expression suddenly became a little stiff.

Although it was only a short moment, it was still caught by Li Mengzhou. He felt a terrified and had bad thoughts.

His expression gradually became serious. He looked at Yu and said, "What happened?"

Everyone Yu was silent for a long time, as if thinking about how to answer, and finally sighed and said, "It's not a big deal. Huan has not yet received customers, and I didn't want her to do those things, but after all, she is a brothel girl. For various reasons, it is inevitable. Huan has this kind of mental preparation and does not resist much."

Li Mengzhou also knew that he could not change such a thing, but he said in confusion: "With the status of Wen Rou Township in the capital, with everyone Yu, is there anyone who dares to force him?"

Everyone Yu said helplessly: "There are always people who cannot afford to offend in the Gentle Land. Once they meet, what can I do?"

Li Mengzhou remained silent.

He thought that Miss Wuer had lent him money so that he would not be unable to move in the capital. This was a kindness to him. He also secretly thought in his heart that he would help him in the future. Now that Miss Wuer was in trouble and was forced to pick up customers, he should not be unreasonable and ignored it. This is his principle of being a human being.

So he looked at Yu Jia and said solemnly: "If Miss Huan is willing, of course I have no reason to say anything, but I don't want to, then no one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do."

Everyone Yu stared at Li Mengzhou in a daze and said with a slight angrily: "What are you going to do?"

Li Mengzhou looked calm, but his eyes were firm, and he said, "Do what I have to do."

The room fell into a dead silence.

Looking at the firm and unyielding vision, everyone Yu sighed: "Don't mess around. What can you do if you can't afford to offend someone I can't afford to offend? Although you have entered the Li Palace, after all, you have not become a practitioner. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, your future will be over."

Li Mengzhou sneered and said, "In my eyes, there is never someone I can't offend. If I retreat, I insult the name Li Gong. No matter who that person is, if I don't send Miss Hua back to me intact, I will kill him."

Everyone Yu sighed and leaned on the soft collapse. She knew that the determined boy would not listen to advice, and that it did have a style of acting contrary to Gong Jianyuan.

Seeing Li Mengzhou in front of her, she shook her head and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that Zhang Chong is a general of the Lu Wang Mansion and a monk who has entered the realm of Chengyi. With your strength to travel far away, you are like a plaything in front of this person. It is not to save the monk, but to run over to die."

Li Mengzhou rubbed the hilt of the black green sword with his hands, his face slightly darkened, and said, "It's just a mere general, why are everyone Yu afraid?"

"If I were just an ordinary general, I naturally had a way to get him out of the gentle place, but he came from the Lu Wang Mansion and was from Prince Lu. Then Prince Lu was the fourth brother of His Majesty today, the most powerful prince in the entire Jiang Kingdom. He has many masters of cultivation. Although Zhang Chong is not a favored person, as long as the word Lu Wang is behind him, no one in the capital would dare to offend him easily."

"Lu Wang Mansion..."

Li Mengzhou's eyes were full of cleverness.

He did not expect that the first time he was involved with the Lu Wang Mansion was in this way.

He had never seen the person Lu Wang, but he knew better than anyone else what the three words Prince Lu meant. He was the second most powerful man in Jiang State, and one of the two younger brothers who were still alive in the world.

At the same time, it was the person Li Mengzhou vowed to kill when he came to the capital.

The dignified prince is of course one of the most unlikely people to be killed in the capital of Jiang Kingdom, not to mention that His Highness Lu, whose power is second only to His Majesty the Emperor and has many supporters in the court, is a real big man who cannot be compared with the honorary king far away from the capital.

The man Lu Wang was less than fifty years old. Because he was also a practitioner, he looked younger. At most, he looked thirty or less than forty. He looked the most similar to His Majesty the Emperor because they were both brothers born by the Empress Dowager, so their relationship was naturally incomparable to the King Yu gave birth to by the concubine.

More than one person in the capital was someone Li Mengzhou had to kill, and Prince Lu Qin Chengyi was undoubtedly the first name. He had to take this matter very seriously. Even if it was not a direct confrontation with Qin Chengyi, killing his minions was something Li Mengzhou was willing to do.

Li Mengzhou is too weak now and is not qualified to stand in front of Qin Chengyi, but he believes that at some point, he will become the one who tear down everything that represents Qin Chengyi.

Today, we start with Zhang Chong, a deputy general under the Lu Wang Mansion.

......

After returning to Chaosi Lane, Li Mengzhou held the black blue sword in his hand, flipping through the contents of "Snow Melting Style" and began to practice the sword technique for the first time. Although he was suspected of being a temporary cram, he was better than nothing.

"Snow Melting Style" is the simplest move in "Li Jian Jing". It does not require too profound understanding. You can master it through hard practice, but it is not easy to integrate it into it.

Li Mengzhou didn't think that he could practice "Snow Melting Style" to a great success in a few hours.
