Chapter 2560 The Tanguts invade!
When Le Shan saw that all the people were knocked down, he clapped his hands and said proudly, "Big Sister, you see, this thing of mine is still effective. You guys are really wasting time by dawdling and you didn't even catch him."
When Bai Yutang saw the two people lying on the ground, he said helplessly, "Second Senior Sister, how could you do this? You used medicine to knock someone down so casually before they even started fighting. Isn't this cheating?"
Le Shan was not ashamed of Bai Yutang's opposition, but proud of it. She held her head high and said proudly, "I studied medicine, and I used my medical skills to charm them. This is also a very formal method!"
Bai Yuting is now very grateful that his grandfather taught them the Five Rats martial arts, otherwise, they would definitely be left further and further away.
Who would have thought that although they were all martial arts, the martial arts taught by Wang Yue progressed faster than other martial arts and had a more solid foundation. In the past, Bai Yuting thought that he had already learned martial arts, so he didn't care at all. But later, seeing that Le Shan, whose martial arts were lower than theirs, had surpassed them, they had to admit defeat.
While they were discussing this, Shen Huizhao had already learned that Xue Guang had been rescued, and the yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture came out in full force, including Shen Huizhao who brought some people with him, and they happened to come to this alley.
Shen Huizhao did not notice Xue Guang and Jiao Du on the ground at first. He just wanted to come over and ask if anyone had seen them. However, he and the runners were stunned as soon as they got closer.
Le Shan naturally did not forget to ask for credit, so he waved to Shen Huizhao and said proudly, "Fourth sister, I caught the man, you can take him away quickly! Don't forget to ask for credit for me!"
"Of course! I'll take him away right now!"
Shen Huizhao couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. He expressed his gratitude to Longzhong, and then took Jiao Du and Xue Guang away with his men.
After Xue Guang and Jiao Du were taken away, Zhao Jian looked at Le Shan and Bai Yutang and said seriously, "Come on, follow me back. The master has new orders to arrange."
Le Shan, Bai Yuting and the others originally wanted to go and watch the fun, but after hearing what Zhao Jian said, they had no choice but to follow Zhao Jian back to the academy.
After the group returned to the academy, Le Shan saw Wang Yue and immediately asked anxiously, "Master, what do you want to talk to us about? We were just about to watch the fun, but you called us back. If it's nothing serious, I'm going to go back and see what happened to Xue Guang!"
Wang Yue ignored Le Shan. After he asked a few people to sit down, he looked at the impatient Le Shan and asked with a frown, "What do you think of Yang Xian?"
When Le Shan heard this, he asked in confusion, "Master, I wonder what you mean by saying this? Are you going to let me marry him?"
Wang Yue saw that Le Shan was anxious and didn't want to go to watch the fun, so he smiled and said, "As soon as you left today, Yang Xian came to visit the academy and wanted to marry you, so I asked him to go back first and wait for your decision."
After hearing Wang Yue's explanation, Le Shan couldn't help but widen her eyes. She felt a little unbelievable and said, "Master, that playboy has caused trouble to our Li family a lot, and now he has the nerve to beg me? I don't want to agree. However, I am very curious why he is interested in me? I don't think I have seen him much."
Wang Yue saw that Bai Yutang and Zhao Jian were also curious, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "You, you haven't seen Yang Xian much, but when you went to Yanyue Temple yesterday, he happened to go hunting there, and he probably noticed that you had a fight with someone else."
Seeing Wang Yue say this, Le Shan was a little confused and asked, "Master, he saw that I was very aggressive and wanted to come over to ask for marriage. How much does this guy deserve a beating? Can he beat me?"
Bai Yuting and the others all laughed after hearing this. They could think of some reasons. Wei Du did not expect that Yang Xian actually took a fancy to Le Shan's martial arts. This was different from the choice of most big families in the capital.
After Wang Yue saw a few people laughing, he continued, "After all, Yang Xian's sister is a concubine in the palace. If he really persuades his sister to ask the emperor to issue an order, I will have to disobey the order. I am afraid it will be difficult to say. So, I want to ask you so that I can make a decision."
When Le Shan heard this, he angrily waved the sword in his hand, and then said seriously, "Then I will castrate him and see if he dares to attack me again."
Seeing that Le Shan had already started talking nonsense, Zhao Jian quickly interrupted him and said to Wang Yue seriously, "Master, do you have a good idea? Just say it quickly, don't let Le Shan worry anymore."
When Le Shan heard his senior sister's reminder, he thought that his master could really help him refuse. He hurried to Wang Yue's side, carefully massaged Wang Yue's legs, and then said flatteringly, "Master, I know you are the most capable. Do you have any solution?"
Wang Yue looked at Le Shan's childish personality and said with a helpless smile, "I believe you also know that the master has a very accurate intelligence system, so the master has a piece of information here and is ready to use it. I wonder if you are willing to go."
After hearing this, Le Shan immediately said excitedly, "Master, please tell me, I want to go!"
Wang Yue looked at the other disciples, who seemed to be listening, so he smiled and said, "I got the news that the Tangut Li Mingde is planning to join forces with the Tufan to attack our Song Dynasty, so I want to go to the northwest to prevent some people from doing things that harm the border troops. I wonder if you are willing to go with me?"
When Le Shan heard Wang Yue say this, she knew that Wang Yue was going to take her out of the limelight, so she said with some surprise, "Master, I'll go then. I've wanted to go around for a long time, but you didn't want to. This time I must go."
Wang Yue smiled and comforted Le Shan, asking her to stay calm. Then he swept his eyes over the others and finally landed on Zhao Jian. He smiled and asked, "Jian'er, do you want to go?" Zhao Jian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Master, my swordsmanship is at a critical moment, so I won't go for the time being. It just so happens that Master has left, so I can watch over the academy to prevent scoundrels from breaking in."
Wang Yue saw Zhao Jian made a decision, so he looked at Cao Danshu and asked, "Danshu, what about you? Do you want to go?"
Cao Danshu hardly hesitated and said solemnly, "Master, I want to go. I haven't been to the northwest border yet. It's safer to have you accompany me. I also want to see the world. After all, I don't know if I will have the chance to travel around in the future."
Wang Yue nodded and agreed to let Cao Danshu go, then he looked at Bai Yutang, Lu Fang, Han Zhang and Wang Jiantong and said, "Who among you wants to go?"
Wang Jiantong looked at the Five Rats, and then said ashamedly, "I haven't fully learned the martial arts that my master taught me, so I want to stay and practice. Also, I have to take care of the Beggars' Sect's affairs, so if I really can't leave, I won't go."
Seeing Wang Jiantong's refusal, Bai Yutang quickly said, "Master, we want to go. Jiang Ping is the only one running around outside now. The four of us brothers also want to go and help you."
He directly represented his other three brothers, and his three brothers did not refute.
Wang Yue smiled and said, "If that's the case, go and prepare the horses. We'll set off today and try not to give the nobles in the palace a chance."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions tensed and they hurried to prepare.
Zhao Jian hurried to make arrangements. After all, although only seven people were setting out, the accompanying guards needed to be arranged in advance. They had to ensure that all information and movements within dozens of miles around the group were transmitted back quickly, so that the group could be safe.
An hour later, a carriage, escorted by the four Bai Yuting brothers, left Zhuxian Town and headed west.
……
one year later,
Bingzhou!
Tongfu Inn!
Le Shan said indignantly, "Master, this Cui Jizhong is too bold. The border troops are fighting against Tubo and Dangxiang people, but he is actually withholding military supplies from the border troops! Let's go and capture him!"
Cao Danshu shook her head and disagreed, "Second Senior Sister, we don't have solid evidence. If we arrest him, I'm afraid we won't be able to give an explanation to the court. By then, Cui Jizhong's father, who is the prime minister, will definitely harm Master. By then, Master's dragon-patterned sword will probably be taken back, and that would be a loss."
When Le Shan heard this, he frowned and said, "Just leave it alone. If the border army fails in the war because of him, losing the city will be a small matter, but the people will be displaced!"
After hearing this, Cao Danshu was also stumped. She didn't know what to do now.
Bai Yutang, Lu Fang and the other three were filled with righteous indignation, but they did not say much. They just waited for Wang Yue's orders. No matter what decision Wang Yue made, they would obey.
Wang Yue took the reactions of several disciples into consideration and said with a smile, "I have received news that Yuan Qing, the governor of Bingzhou, has been secretly collecting evidence against Cui Jizhong.
We just need to wait for him to collect all the evidence, and then use the evidence to kill Cui Jizhong directly with the dragon-patterned sword in my hand. By then, the court will not do anything to me, right?"
In fact, Wang Yue didn't care about the reaction of a Prime Minister of the Privy Council at all. This dragon-patterned sword was given by the Queen Mother, and no one except the Queen Mother could take it back.
This is the drawback of ruling the world with filial piety. There is no way to overturn the arrangements of the previous emperor and empress dowager.
After hearing what Wang Yue said, Le Shan immediately said happily, "That's great. As long as the evidence is solid, His Majesty can give an explanation to the ministers."
Cao Danshu could not help but frown and said, "The Cui family is now very powerful. I am just worried that if Yuan Qing's investigation is exposed, the Cui family will probably take action against him."
