The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 74
After seeing Zhang Xuanling, Li Cunxu and the Empress rode back to Fengxiang on horseback.

They took the official road. Although they took a long detour, there are post stations along the way where they can rest, so it can be regarded as a smooth journey.

They rode on horseback during the day and stayed at an inn at night. Although the speed and efficiency of the journey were not high, they did not encounter any difficulties on the way.

Along the way, although the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, after all, the two had been together for a while, and they were able to chat speculatively.

The two set off from Taiyuan, marched westward, passed through Fenzhou and Xizhou, and finally left the land of the Three Jin Dynasties, marched to Qiguo, passed through Yanzhou, Yanzhou, Yanzhou, and Binzhou, all the way south, and finally arrived at Qiguo. The capital - Fengxiang.

As soon as they returned to Fengxiang, the two parted ways.The Empress went straight back to Prince Qi's Mansion, while Li Cunxu went back to the blacksmith's shop.

After all, the empress is a vassal with many government affairs and busy affairs.Moreover, she has just made a temporary decision to cooperate with the Tongwen Museum, so there are probably a lot of things to deal with.

The reason why Li Cunxu returned to the blacksmith shop was to take a look at the current situation of Wu Desi.

In the current Wu Desi, except for the few people Guo Chongtao brought to Luzhou, the others basically stayed in this blacksmith shop in Fengxiang.

They forge steel and iron with Shen Qingyi every day, and run the blacksmith shop.

When Li Cunxu went to Taiyuan with the empress, his blacksmith shop seemed to be small.Not to mention the reputation and the market, the number of customers has gradually increased, and they can even trade weapons with the empress.

It's a pity that before he had time to watch the specific development of the blacksmith shop, he was called by Yang Yantian to King Qi's Mansion, and then went to Taiyuan with the Empress.

When Li Cunxu returned to the blacksmith shop, there was a sunset glow in the sky, and the sky was groggy.The smithy was closed for business.

When Li Cunxu appeared at the blacksmith shop, except for Wang Pu who was settling accounts, Shen Qingyi who was forging iron, and a few people who were busy boiling water and cooking, most of the others were resting as if nothing had happened.

When the guards saw Li Cunxu appearing, they stood up and saluted with fists in their hands.Li Cunxu pressed his hands together and said, "Everyone, get up."

Hearing Li Cunxu's words, the guards raised their fists and sat down again.After all, a day of wrought iron is too tiring.

Li Cunxu felt a little weird when he saw the guards with tired faces.

They are all martial arts guards cultivated by Li Cunxu with painstaking efforts and resources. They aim to perform some investigations, assassinations and anti-assassinations, but now they have become a group of part-time blacksmiths.

In fact, Li Cunxu has always felt that asking them to do some chores of forging steel and iron is really overkill.

Thinking of this, Li Cunxu suddenly felt that they should be allowed to give full play to their talents and be used for big things, instead of staying in this small place all day long to work on iron.

Seeing that Li Cunxu was still standing, Li Tai moved over a stool and spread a blanket on it to make sure it was clean, then respectfully asked Li Cunxu to sit down.

Li Cunxu did not refuse. After sitting down, he glanced at the exhausted guards and said with a smile: "You have been forging iron these days, are you exhausted?"

The guards shook their heads when they heard the words, and hurriedly said: "This subordinate is not tired..."

Li Cunxu smiled and said: "Not tired? It seems that you are very satisfied with this kind of life. I originally planned to let you relax for a few days..."

As soon as the guards heard that they could relax, they were still willing to continue to do this tiring work, so they said one after another: "Tired, tired."

At this time, Li Tai who was next to him hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, bowed his hands and said: "My lord, I have a few words to say, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Li Cunxu looked at him and said, "But it's okay to say!"

"My lord, it's hot here, can you come in and talk?" Li Tai respectfully said, "The room is cool with the wind!"

As soon as Li Cunxu heard it, he knew that he was not at ease and wanted to avoid suspicion.He thought for a while, but he didn't agree, but said to Li Tai: "There are no outsiders here, so let's talk here."

Li Tai cupped his hands, and then respectfully said: "My lord, my subordinates think that we can no longer live here."

Li Cunxu smiled lightly, and asked back, "Oh? Why?"

Li Tai said seriously: "Master, when we first came to Fengxiang, we had to make a living, so we had to let most of the guards devote themselves to forging iron. But now our situation has improved, if we let the guards forge iron again, I'm afraid it will only be overkill! According to my subordinates, the young master should let the Second Division of Wu De Division sharpen his sword."

Li Cunxu sat on the stool, looked at Li Tai with interest, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Li Tai's thoughts coincided with his.

Letting a group of guards with high martial arts skills stay in Fengxiang is useless, and it is a waste of talents.Talent is used to realize value.

Li Cunxu nodded and said, "You're right, it's not a long-term solution to stay in Fengxiang and strike iron."

Li Tai immediately cupped his fists.

"If this goes on like this, I'm afraid Wu Desi can be renamed the Foundry Bureau." Li Cunxu joked.

After finishing speaking, Li Cunxu looked around. Although he had just returned from a long journey, his eyes were piercing and there was no sign of fatigue.He said to the guards again: "Everyone has worked hard these days, you should rest well in the next period of time, after a few days, there will be important tasks assigned to you!"

"Obey!" All the guards bowed one after another.

……

After Li Cunxu rested for a few days, he welcomed a guest—Yang Yantian.

"My lord, the empress is here to invite me, so please order me to come to meet you!"

Li Cunxu followed Yang Yantian to the main rudder of Huanyinfang, which was heavily guarded. As soon as he stepped in, a maid came up to meet him.

With Yang Yantian's guide, Li Cunxu didn't even need to take off the Yitian Sword, and followed Yang Yantian into the Huanyin Workshop.

Li Cunxu looked at the maids with swords all around, and sighed in his heart how tightly guarded Huanyinfang was.

Unexpectedly, the defense of the main rudder of Huanyinfang is actually much stricter than that of Prince Qi's mansion.

But there is no doubt about it, after all, the empress spent much more time in Huanyinfang than Qiwangfu.

In Huanyinfang, you can't see the majestic aura of Zhumen's high walls in the Qiwangfu. On the contrary, the whole Huanyinfang reveals a delicate and soft feeling.

The entire rudder of Huanyinfang is like a beautiful small palace.The carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, red flowers, green water and fountains and rockeries are full of vitality and attract people's attention.

The magnificent Qionglou Yuyu, together with the beautiful maids standing around, is really a beauty in the world.

While admiring the beautiful scenery in his heart, Li Cunxu also noticed the impressive martial arts of these maids with swords.

This Huanyinfang is worthy of being one of the three major powers in the world, and every maid under it is not weak in martial arts, and ordinary people from the Jianghu are probably no match.

The two walked to a pavilion.

There were two masked maids holding swords guarding in front of the pavilion. When they saw Yang Yantian, they saluted and said, "My lord Shengji."

"Excuse me, can the Empress be in the pavilion?" Yang Yantian asked.

The two maids immediately said respectfully: "Go back to Master Shengji, the empress is still in the pavilion!"

"You go and report, and say that Mr. Li is here to see you." Yang Yantian said.

The two maids looked at Li Cunxu with strange eyes. This was the first time they saw a man in the main helm of Huanyinfang, but out of duty, they still saluted and agreed, and then left quickly one by one.

Not long after, the maid came back from the pavilion and said respectfully: "Young Master Li, the empress is here to invite you!"
