Chapter 143 See You Again
After dealing with the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, Li Shou left the mansion and quickly rushed to the inner city.
Although he knew that Yan Ling'er was most likely fine, he was still a little worried because of this situation.
All the way to the entrance of the inner city, Li Shou saw from afar that the soldiers guarding them had been replaced by red-robed guards from the original outer disciples of the Xuanxue Sect.
Too lazy to go on a killing spree, Li Shou transformed into a strong wind and bypassed the city gate, climbed over the city wall, and entered the inner city.
The entire inner city has also undergone major changes in the past six months. Many places have changed their entrance halls. The sects of the aristocratic families that were originally attached to the Xuanxue Sect have all hung red lotus lanterns representing the Red Lotus Sect on their entrances.
After Li Shou arrived at the Xuanxuemen station, he discovered that the place had been expanded and turned into the most magnificent building with the largest area in the inner city.
It's a pity that this place no longer belongs to the Xuanxue Sect.
The guards at the door, the characters on the door plaque, and the symbols on the door all mean that this place has been occupied by the Red Lotus Sect.
"Jiu occupied the magpie's nest..." Li Shou wanted to step forward to ask, but then thought about it. If he stepped forward to ask, there might be another conflict. "Forget it, let's let go before we find senior sister and master." You guys just go ahead."
After thinking this, Li Shou quickly left the place.
After walking on the streets of the inner city for a while, he saw a pedestrian. The man was not wearing a red robe and did not look like a member of the Red Lotus Sect. Li Shou hurried up and asked, "Miss, do you know where the Xuanxue Sect is?" ?”
"It's at the southeast corner of the inner city wall." The young girl looked at Li Shou with some confusion, "Everyone in the inner city knew they had moved there. It was quite a big deal at that time, didn't you know?"
"I just came here, from another county."
Li Shou prevaricated and stepped out of the way.
"The southwest corner, isn't that an edge location?" Throughout the ages, most of the bases of city walls have not been good places.
The root of the outer city wall is Heishui Fang.
Many of the walls of the inner city are where the guards and servants of the inner city live.
The former overlord of the inner city now lives at the base of the city wall, which is somewhat insulting.
"Perhaps the Red Lotus Sect did this on purpose. If the new Monkey King takes over, it will be considered a good thing if the old Monkey King is not killed." Li Shou suppressed his anger and came to the southwest corner. Sure enough, he found several shabby courtyards here. Red lotus lanterns were also hung on it to express surrender.
But the signboard of the courtyard still belongs to the Xuanxue Gate.
At this time, the Xuanxue Sect has lost its former glory. Not only are a large number of outer sect disciples gone, but even the large number of inner sect disciples that originally existed seem to have disappeared.
There was no one outside the entire sect, and they seemed to be struggling to survive.
"Is anyone there?" Li Shou stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting at the top of his lungs. After a while, an old man opened the door.
This old man has one arm and a disabled foot, but his face looks pretty good.
"Master?!"
"You..." When Yuan Yifa saw Li Shou, he didn't recognize him at first. After all, Li Shou's body shape had changed too much.
But after all, they are still very familiar people. After staring at Li Shou's face for a few times, he was immediately shocked, "Good disciple? Are you really an idiot?"
"It's me! Master, what happened to your arm? Did someone from the Red Lotus Sect do it? I'll fucking kill Gouri..."
"Walls have ears, so don't talk nonsense!" Hearing Li Shou insulting the Red Lotus Sect, Yuan Yifa was so frightened that he quickly pulled him into the courtyard. After looking around, no one dared to whisper: "These days are different. Talk. You have to be careful, otherwise you will be killed."
"Alas." Seeing that the cheerful little old man who was fearless now turned into this, Li Shou also sighed, "Where's Senior Sister, Senior Sister Yan Ling'er, is she okay?"
"It's okay. She's in another courtyard. I'll call her!"
"Master, don't be busy. I want to know first what happened in the past six months?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that the power of the Red Lotus has invaded the county." Yuan Yifa sighed, "Previously, the county road was closed and the news was blocked. We didn't know that the Red Lotus was taking advantage of the successive years of famine. Such great power has developed.
Not to mention our small county town, even the big cities outside and even the state capital have been lost.
I heard that after they occupied the southwest region, they also wanted to attack the capital of Zhongzhou. "
"Oh, let's not talk about the outside. What happened to our Xuanxue Sect?"
"A few months ago, when the Red Lotus Sect came over..."
"Did you resist?" Li Shou asked: "After all, Tongkang County was ours at that time, so it was normal to resist. But then you surrendered without fighting. And then you suffered retaliation?"
"How dare you resist? When they came, we thought we were no match, so we already gave in. We were just a sect in the county. Before the Li family lost power, it wasn't even the largest sect. Not to mention the Li family, it was the Sanjiu sect. More powerful than us."
"Understood." Li Shou nodded. Although Qian Hongxu looked rough, he was actually quite delicate.
If you have enough brains, surrendering directly is a better choice.
"We've already voted, so what's the point of conflict?"
"Alas, the people of the Red Lotus Sect are cruel. Not only did we surrender, we gave up our power, and all the secret books, treasures and money were donated. That's not the end of it. The Red Lotus Sect also wants to dig up our foundation..."
"how to say?"
"Now Honglian's people are fighting everywhere and are in urgent need of elite soldiers. They accept these sect disciples and send them to the front line. Disciples who are not trained by them are usually used as cannon fodder and are driven to the front line. In that case, there are How many people can survive? So many people are unwilling to go, and the same goes for us Xuanxue Sect disciples. It is inevitable that there will be several conflicts when we go back and forth, but our arms cannot twist our thighs!"
"Master, don't worry. When I come back this time, I will let them know who is the arm and who is the thigh!"
"Good disciple, don't do stupid things! Only by saving your life can you enjoy life. The power of the Red Lotus Sect is not just a small number of people in the county. You can kill the young and the old, but you can do it alone. Can you outshine so many people in Honglian? My master knows that you are a person of different blood, with high strength and rapid growth. But it is not appropriate for this person to fight against thousands of troops, even if the Martial Saint comes in person!"
"Master, don't worry about this."
One person against thousands of troops?
He tried it in the third world.
Moreover, the confrontation there is much more difficult. There are mechanics and alchemists, and the quality of both generals and soldiers is several levels higher than this.
But now I won’t believe anything Yuan Yifa says. After all, everyone has different experiences, and if he talks too much, it will only be regarded as bragging.
"Forget it, Master, you will naturally understand in the future, take me to see Senior Sister first."
"Okay, okay!" Yuan Yifa looked at Li Shou and smiled like he hadn't seen in many days.
Then the little old man took him to another courtyard and knocked on the courtyard door in the same way. The person who opened the door this time was a child from the Yan family. Li Shou had seen him several times when he visited the Yan family.
He saw Li Shou distinguishing him for a few times, and then ran into the yard in surprise, "Cousin, cousin, the person you talk about every day is back, just a little different!"
As the child's voice spread throughout the courtyard, Yan Ling'er, wearing a tight-fitting black training suit, ran out in a panic.
When she saw Li Shou, she was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and hugged him.
"You are finally back!"
