After dinner, there was nothing to do, and everyone chatted around the fire. After the time was almost the same, they meditated and breathed. Wei Xiaozhuang was able to get up and walk around, but the spiritual energy was still a bit difficult, and it was estimated that it would take two days to improve completely.

Su Emei took the initiative to take on the night mission, responsible for adding firewood and adding fire, alerting wild beasts and other evil people. Li Ye didn't care about this, but he was happy to save the effort of setting up a warning array. The most important thing in walking in the world is to pretend to be a bear and hide his strength. This is the same as not showing off his wealth outside.

Li Ye had nothing to breathe, he just took advantage of the opportunity of sitting in meditation to think about the situation in Qingzhou.

As the core of Pinglu, the Jiedushi governs the prefecture, Qingzhou gathers the most wealth in Pinglu. Correspondingly, in addition to the Penglai Dao Sect, the largest forces are also here. The Qingyi Yamen has learned that Qingzhou has four major families, two of which are old gentry and two are emerging wealthy families.

During the Tang Dynasty, although the tribute system had already reached a scale, due to historical reasons, the gentry was still powerful for a hundred years, especially the Helong gentry, which was a noble family that had been passed down for a hundred years. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the gentry in Shandong also emerged one after another, gaining a foothold in the court and officialdom, and its strength should not be underestimated.

However, in the Anshi Rebellion, the aristocratic families were very badly affected. After that, the vassal states stood in the local area, and the power of the aristocratic families was greatly hit. The collapse of the military system was caused by serious land annexation, countless people were displaced and refugees were everywhere, so the recruitment system emerged. The vassal states recruited refugees and formed vassal state troops. After these refugees were recruited by the vassal states, the unfair treatment they suffered in the past was unwilling to be deprived of their land. They hugged them in a group and formed a new refugee force, or the vassal state troops, in the vassal states, which were very powerful and stubborn.

They were resentful, so they valued their own interests very much. The origin of the arrogant soldiers and generals was that the refugee vassal army resisted the local levies and levies by the Jiedushi in order to protect their own interests. The later, the vassal army became more and more arrogant. If the Jiedushi did not know how to be polite to the soldiers and did not protect the interests of the vassal army, the vassal army would expel them.

After the rise of the vassal state army, conflicts with the old gentry families were inevitably caused by land and wealth control. However, the other party was an army, and scholars could not explain it clearly when they met soldiers. No matter how many monks of the gentry families were, they could not compare to those of thousands or tens of thousands of people. The power of the gentry families was gradually weakened.

Therefore, it can be said that the lack of aristocratic families in the long history was the rise of the tribute examination system (after the Song Dynasty, it was the imperial examination system), and on the other hand, it was the rise of the vassal states. It was the Song Dynasty that the tribute examination was called Daxing. Before the poor scholars replaced the status of the genius families through the imperial examination system, the vassal state forces in the late Tang and Five Dynasties were the vassal state forces in the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

The four major forces of Pinglu, or four major families, two gentry families, and the other two are two major surnames in the Pinglu vassal army. Originally, the two were the same as the same power, and Li Ye might not have no choice but to take advantage of it. However, Pinglu also has the "Dong Penglai", one of the five major sects in the world.

The cultivation level of the head of Penglai has reached the ninth level of Qi training early, and now he is in seclusion to attack the realm of real people. Moreover, there are many masters of Penglai Immortal Sect, and they have a thousand-year-old heritage. In terms of the power of cultivators, the Shen Ce Army cannot compare with it. The Penglai Dao Sect has too much influence on Pinglu and has penetrated the four major families. He is like the leader of the cultivation world. Li Ye wants to completely control Pinglu and let Pinglu obey him. He must first pass the threshold of Penglai.

Li Ye was able to kill Liu Xingshen in the Palace Transformation Battle, but he was able to rely on the power of Penglai Golden Spirit Pill. Now his golden spirit pill has been used up, but who knows how many Penglai is? If Li Ye rashly goes in and someone rushed out of a large group of Qi training, what should he do?

As the thousand-year Taoist sect of Pinglu, Penglai had a deep-rooted influence on Pinglu, and the aristocratic families and vassal states were incomparable. Therefore, no matter how hostile the two were, they were subject to Penglai. What's more, Penglai was still the leader of Pinglu's rivers and lakes, and all kinds of rivers and lakes. Who is not afraid of Penglai? Penglai has a fate, who dares not to obey? He is like the leader of the Pinglu martial arts world.

As for Li Ye, in the eyes of many people, he is just an official position and will leave in a few years at most for more than ten years. Many governors have arrived at the local government. Because of this reason, they have good official qualities to do political achievements. When the Ministry of Personnel is assessed for promotion, those with poor official qualities may have no hope of promotion, they will directly embezzle bribes and collect excessive taxes, seize the time to absorb wealth, or both, completely ignore the damage to the local area.

This has become an irreconcilable contradiction with the local forces. The Jiedushi has finished the disaster and left with wealth. The clouds are calm and gentle. The local forces are rooted here and still have to continue to survive here. They have to clean up the mess. Over time, will they have a good face to the Jiedushi?

Pinglu Five Prefectures, Qi, Zi, Qing, Lai, Deng, from west to east. The reason why Li Ye went to Qizhou first was to "capture" a piece of land as a bridgehead and springboard to further control Pinglu. In the words before crossing, this is the front-line base. Li Ye must manage Qizhou first, so that he can be considered as having his own power in Pinglu. Only when he enters Qingzhou at this time can he have room for advance and retreat.

Taking Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang into the Pinglu River will not appear abrupt and eye-catching. Li Ye will take this opportunity to see with his own eyes what the Pinglu River is like and find opportunities to break the deadlock.

Otherwise, he would dive into Pinglu. Faced with the complex situation in Pinglu, Li Ye didn't know where to start.

When Li Ye sorted out these things in his mind, Su Emei had already given up breathing.

Although she was still sitting cross-legged, her mind was a little confused.

During the days I went down the mountain, I came to the world with all kinds of sensory impacts, similar to that of Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

Su Emei thought about what she saw and heard these days, and her attention couldn't help but come to Li Ye. The latter was the stranger she had been with in the world for the longest time. Although her appearance did not meet Su Emei's aesthetics, Su Emei was not the kind of woman who judged people by her appearance. Thinking of Li Ye's various actions today, she was very curious about Li Ye and wanted to see what kind of person this guy was.

Li Ye became the medium for Su Emei to understand the world.

"I just don't know how my cultivation is." Su Emei closed her eyes and thought silently in her heart, "Master said that for people in the martial arts world, cultivation is the most important thing. As long as my cultivation is high enough, everything is not a problem."

Su Emei thought about all kinds of things, but she didn't notice that someone had appeared in the dark behind the carriage.

In all directions, inside and outside the forest, nearly ten hidden black shadows were approaching them.

Suddenly, a stream of light flashed by.

The fire in front of Su Emei burst out without warning, and fireworks were blooming like fireworks. The light of extinction suddenly faded when it just rose, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness.

Su Emei was startled, grabbed the long sword beside her, and drew the sword out of the sheath with a blink of an eye.

Before she could see the scene in front of her clearly, in the dark darkness, a strong light suddenly exploded in front of her eyes. The white light was extremely strong. I don’t know what magic weapon it was, which reflected Su Emei’s beautiful and nervous face, and also damaged her eyes. She had to turn her head and dodge and stretch out her hand to block her eyes.

At this time, three sword energy had already flew towards Su Emei from different directions. Her vision was greatly damaged, and she could only see a little starlight, and the sword energy came to her!

Although Su Emei has no experience in the martial arts world, she has not experienced any battles. Her Wei Xiaozhuang's cultivation and combat power have been through multiple trainings by the master on the mountain.

Su Emei will never forget that many dark and moonless nights, Master and Xiaozhuang will break into the window and assassinate her, and she will never forget that when she and Master went to assassinate Wei Xiaozhuang, the other party was panicked.

Su Emei stepped forward and quickly retreated, and her long sword pierced her.

Countless sword lights splashed like fish scales formed an arc and lit up in front of her. A flying sword energy was directly shattered by the fish scale sword light.

At the same time, she leaned back and twisted her slender waist, and a sword energy passed through her chest.

However, Su Emei, who was in a state of change at this time, could no longer avoid the sword energy on the left, reaching her waist!

In an instant, Su E's eyebrows were pale and her hands and feet were cold. She leaned back and saw a black shadow jumping out of the forest behind her.

The other party jumped under the crescent moon, just blocking the moonlight. A sword energy had already been cut out from the other party's hand, and it was like a comet falling, and it instantly came to her!

"Middle stage of Qi training!" Su E's eyebrows suddenly shrank.

The other party was in the middle of Qi training, and her cultivation was not much weaker than her. She couldn't avoid or take over this sword!

Su Emei never expected that someone would suddenly come out in the middle of the road, and her technique and cooperation were so skillful, she launched a thunder assassination at her!

Before going down the mountain, the master never said that there were any enemies at the foot of the mountain. Her reaction and response were fast enough, but she still couldn't deal with such a hiding and skillful assassin in the world!

When a deep despair flashed in Su Emei's apricot eyes, she felt that her heel seemed to have kicked something, and she seemed to have been kicked by something. It was very abrupt. Her body leaned back was out of control and fell down straight away!

The delicate sword energy on the left flew directly past her chest. The navy blue Taoist robe was immediately cut open. The cold sword energy made Su E's tall chest feel the chill of being immersed in her snowy muscles!

But that's all, the sword energy did not hurt her at all.

However, Su Emei was not surprised at all, because the sword energy in the air had already arrived in front of her. In her eyes, a fishing line suddenly magnified, and the dazzling light had already illuminated her pale face!

A strand of black hair flashed across Su Emei's cheeks, and the touch was slight itchy. Then Su Emei saw a sleeve rising in front of her, looking like someone's palm facing the sky and lifted up.

In an instant, Su Emei retracted her sleeves and returned to her vision again. She saw stars everywhere in the sky. In the far-reaching night sky, the Milky Way was like a belt, better than all the brilliant pearls in the world!

Where is the sword energy?

Su Emei was surprised to find that the sword energy was completely gone.

It was not until this time that she felt that her back did not fall to the ground, but fell to a warm place, as if someone was sitting cross-legged on his thigh, not cold or hard at all.

Before Su Emei could figure out the situation, the Milky Way was blocked by the birds.

It was not a swallow bird, but a figure leaping high like a swallow bird!

They raised their long swords and slashed at Su Emei. With their leaping action, their long hair suddenly threw up, and the sword energy fell like a waterfall, blocking the stars in the Milky Way!

The assassin's attacks were endless, with no gap between front and back connections.

The rapidly changing images flashed through Su E's eyes, and four sword energy had already slashed in front of her, and she didn't even have time to jump up!

In the flash of lightning, she felt a warm big hand holding her waist. Su Emei opened her eyes wide and just as she wanted to make a sound, she felt a dizzy turn, and four sword energy fell around her!

In the crisp sound, the exploded soil splashed like water. Su Emei felt the chill of the cold wind, but did not feel the pain, because no sword energy hurt her!

Su Emei suddenly felt a lighter all over her body. She looked up in shock and found that she was flying towards the stars.

The night wind whistles in my ears.

The soil that was jumped away by the sword energy did not fall on her at all!
Chapter completed!
