Chapter 164 Jiang Hongyu
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi rescued Cui Zhi from the Nanliang guards on the bank of Qiantang River. Just as he was about to interrogate the two guards, they committed suicide by taking poison. Meanwhile, Cui Zhi began to doubt Li Yi's identity. So how will the story develop next? Let's read on.
Li Yi walked to the side of the carriage, bowed to Cui Zhi and said with a smile: "The things in this world are really hard to predict. I came to Linjiang to look for the girl, but I never thought I would meet her outside the city."
Hearing this, Cui Zhi thought: He really came to find me on purpose, and after knowing my identity, he killed You Wei. Who sent him?
Seeing that Cui Zhi did not respond, Li Yi asked with concern: "Is Miss Cui okay?"
Cui Zhi was stunned for a moment, staring at Li Yi blankly. The latter bowed and smiled, "I am Li Yi, the Music Bureau of the Great Wei Dynasty. Old Yin, no, Mr. Tao has repeatedly told me to bring you back safely."
Cui Zhi thought: The Northern Wei envoys had just arrived in Jiankang. It would take at least three days to get from Jiankang to Linjiang. This person couldn't be Li Yuefu! Who was he? The Youwei people had just captured me, and I was saved by him. How could there be such a coincidence? Could he be someone from Youwei? They acted together for me? Then they pretended to be Li Yuefu to gain my trust, and then tried to get information from other spies from me? Yes, it must be like this! Otherwise, how could such a little brat kill the Youwei people!
It was unknown whether Cui Zhi had an overly imaginative mind or she was too cautious, but she was becoming less and less trusting of Li Yi. Of course, she had to put on a good show, so she said, "Who is Mr. Tao? I don't know anyone with the surname Tao, and my surname isn't Cui either. My surname is Su, and my given name is Xiao. I'm the singer on the Qiantang River. I'm afraid you've recognized the wrong person, right?"
Li Yi could understand Cui Zhi's vigilance, and he smiled and said, "Princess Longyun's marriage and my life are all thanks to you, young lady. I would like to express my gratitude."
Cui Zhi replied sternly: "I don't understand what you are saying, sir!"
Li Yi smiled and casually took out the wooden sign given by Lao Yinbi. It was just an ordinary wooden sign with no special pattern and only a word "Cui". Li Yi handed the wooden sign over.
Cui Zhi took the wooden sign and examined it. After a moment, she looked up at Li Yi with a scrutinizing look in her eyes. She asked, "Are you really Li Yuefu?"
Li Yi nodded and smiled, "If it's true, I'll exchange it with you."
Cui Zhi shook her head and asked, "What evidence is there?"
Li Yi thought: Hey, I just found a problem. I don't seem to have any special features except being the most talented scholar in Wei. When I entered Liang, they asked me to prove that I was who I am. Now Miss Cui is asking me to prove it again. It seems that my recognition is too low. This won't do. I have to think of a way to improve my recognition. Got it, guitar! Li Yi condensed Qi and transformed it into a guitar. No one else had seen this thing before. It was considered a characteristic of him, Li Yi.
Cui Zhi saw the other party use condensed qi to transform a musical instrument that she had never seen before, and she was half convinced, but she still couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Li Yi. Because she had read "Xiu Yuan Collection", not only had she read it, but she was also a true fan of Li Yi!
In her mind, Li Yi should be tall, mighty, handsome, suave, gentle, and humorous. In short, he should be both beautiful and intelligent, the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, and an absolute male god who can charm thousands of girls! However, the gap between her and the man in front of her was too big.
Cui Zhi looked at the guitar, then looked at Li Yi and asked, "Is this the guitar? But just this guitar doesn't prove that you are Li Yuefu, right?"
Li Yi said awkwardly: "Then how does Miss Cui want me to prove it?"
Cui Zhi said seriously: "Li Yuefu's casual recitation is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. If you are really Li Yuefu, then prove it to me!"
Li Yi scratched his head and searched in the Chinese music library in the background. Ding! He found it. He plucked the strings of the zither and sang passionately. He sang the song "Return" by Dengshenjun:
Jungle cottage, green bamboo leaves and sunset
After three rounds of drinking, the white-clothed friend is still the same
The misty mountain, the sound of the piano spreads over the mountain peaks and into the distance
Silver light shines, stars are like chess pieces spread across the sky
The partridges return to the empty mountains and new forests. Under the oil lamp he writes a new book.
The past is nothing but a bottle of wine
The partridges return to the empty mountains and new forests, the prosperous world is just a dream
Only the passers-by hurriedly return to the mountains to live forever
Cold dew between pines, crows chirping, pipa composing ode
The clothes flutter in the wind, and the small pavilion is often visited by the breeze
Strolling in the garden, dead leaves cover the green stone road
Hidden valley, searching for the place where the cranes live
The partridges return to the empty mountains and new forests. Under the oil lamp he writes a new book.
The past is nothing but a bottle of wine
The partridges return to the empty mountains and new forests, the prosperous world is just a dream
Only the passers-by hurriedly return to the mountains to live forever
The partridges return to the empty mountains and new forests. Under the oil lamp he writes a new book.

After singing a song, Li Yi reached out to take back the guitar and the talent lingering around him. When he had absorbed all the talent, before he could open his mouth, Cui Zhi threw herself on him and hugged him tightly, the kind that he couldn't push away.
Li Yi was still wondering, what's going on? Am I so charming now? Can I make women I've never met throw themselves at me? Damn, this feeling is so good! Li Yi was about to reach out to hug Cui Zhi back and gently stroke her back with a smug look on his face, but Yu Jiu came back very inopportunely and cleared his throat even more inopportunely.
When Cui Zhi heard the noise, she immediately pushed Li Yi aside and got into the car, leaving Li Yi with his hands raised to embrace the air. Yu Jiu looked at him with disdain and said, "Oh, it's burning fast! It's a pity that you don't use your talent to run the boiler."
Yu Jiu asked, "What is a boiler?"
Li Yi said coldly: "Why do you care so much? Get in the car and let's go!" After that, he sat next to the carriage.
Yu Jiu jumped on the carriage, picked up the whip and asked, "Where are we going now?"
Li Yi replied: "Since we have found the person we are looking for, we should go to Jiankang."
Yu Jiu exclaimed, "Ah? You're not going to Linjiang? Didn't you say you were going to the city to have a good meal? Didn't you also want to find an inn to have a good sleep? Why are you on your way now?"
Li Yi gave him a headbutt and said, "Why are you going to Linjiang? Your sister Cui finally escaped..."
This woke up Cui Zhi, who was still in the car and was full of joy at seeing her idol. She then remembered her good sister who had saved her! She pulled open the car curtain and said to Li Yi: "Li Lefu, where is Sister Jiang? We must find her and never let her fall into the hands of those guards!"
Li Yi asked in confusion: "Oh? What's the situation with this Sister Jiang?"
Cui Zhi told Li Yi about herself and Sister Jiang. Li Yi nodded and said to Jiu: "It's up to you. Let's go to Linjiang!"
Yu Jiu excitedly said "OK" and whipped his horse to drive towards Linjiang City...
The female swordsman next to Cui Zhi is named Jiang Hongyu. She is 26 years old and is a fifth-grade martial arts swordsman. As long as she can understand her true meaning, she can be promoted to the fourth grade. However, she has been stuck in this bottleneck period for more than a year. She was originally a disciple of Sanchijin, the number one gang in Jianghu swordsmanship. This sect is very interesting. All disciples must learn to forge swords before practicing swords. If they fail to forge a good sword within ten years, they will be expelled from the sect. Jiang Hongyu was expelled for this reason.
It just so happens that such a gang with only a few true disciples is ranked first in Jianghu swordsmanship. Why is this so?
First of all, among the top ten swordsmen in the world, four are disciples of Sanchi Jin.
Secondly, many of Sanchi Jin's abandoned disciples are famous swordsmen in the martial arts world. What's more interesting is that they are obviously all Sanchi Jin's abandoned disciples. They have obviously never practiced swordsmanship at Sanchi Jin for a day, but each of them regards themselves as Sanchi Jin's disciple. Even if they have achieved success in swordsmanship, they will not establish their own school or set up their own faction.
It is said that the founder of Sanchijin is a descendant of Ou Yezi, a master swordsmith during the Spring and Autumn Period, but no one knows his name. When all disciples join the sect, they must not only pay homage to their swordsmith master, but also pay homage to a deep pool in the sect. This deep pool is called the Sword Pool, and there is a waterfall on the pool. It is said that this is the place where Longyuan Sword, one of the ten famous swords, turned into a dragon, and the waterfall carries sword energy and sword intent. Sanchijin's sword-cultivating disciples often comprehend the way of the sword under the waterfall, and the standard for their graduation is to be able to cut off the waterfall with sword energy or sword intent.
Jiang Hongyu and Cui Zhi are like sisters, almost inseparable, and their deep feelings can be said to be able to talk about anything, really! They can talk about anything, those who understand will understand. The key is that she is also the only person in Nanliang who knows Cui Zhi's true identity, and even if she knows Jiang Hongyu's identity, she is still willing to protect her, which shows that the relationship between the two has reached the kind of purposeless, unprincipled, and unconditional support, in short, a brainless friendship!
Cui Zhi was afraid that Jiang Hongyu would fall into the hands of the Youwei and be tortured by them. Regardless of her personal feelings or her own intentions, she did not want to see this happen, so she was determined to find her at all costs.
Let's fast forward the progress bar. Li Yi and his two companions returned to the place where they had rescued people before. They were looking for clues on the shore by moonlight, but they found nothing. It was already late at night, and the three of them hadn't even eaten. Yu Jiu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Sir, can we eat something before we look for it? It's no use looking for it on an empty stomach!"
Li Yi looked at Cui Zhi and asked, "Miss Cui, are you hungry?"
Cui Zhi shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry. If you are hungry, you can eat first. I will look around."
Li Yi shook his head and waved to Yu Jiu to go catch fish. The latter nodded and left. He thought he could go into Linjiang City to have a good meal today, but ended up running into such a thing. Huo Lingtong was also very helpless.
In fact, what kind of help could Cui Zhi provide? It was good enough that she didn't make things worse. Now she had to look around again. How could Li Yi let her go by herself? You know, the crisis she was in hadn't been resolved yet. Cui Zhi searched for a while and wanted to continue, but her stomach was very stubborn and expressed its dissatisfaction, and it kept growling.
Li Yi couldn't bear it any longer, so he walked up to her and said, "Don't hold on any longer. Let's go. Yu Jiu should have grilled the fish. Let's look for it after we finish eating."
Cui Zhi nodded helplessly, and the two walked to the fire. Li Yi took the grilled fish from Yu Jiu and handed it to Cui Zhi, who looked disgusted. If it wasn't for her stomach, she would not even look at the fish. Cui Zhi ate slowly, while Li Yi and Yu Jiu devoured the food quickly. Cui Zhi saw that the two had finished eating and wanted to throw away the half-eaten fish.
Li Yi advised, "Don't be impatient. Eat slowly. It's a good time to rest for a while. By the way, let me sing a song for you. What do you want to hear?"
It's such a happy feeling to have your idol sing to you personally. Cui Zhi was so excited and blushing that she picked out her favorite song without hesitation. "I want to listen to 'I Love the Country More Than the Beauty'!"
Of course Li Yi would satisfy his little fangirl. After singing with deep emotion, he looked at Cui Zhi, whose eyes had turned into little hearts, and smiled handsomely. Facing such direct teasing, the little fangirl wanted to give birth to a baby for Li Yi on the spot, but Yu Jiu said very inappropriately: "Have you two seen enough? Are you still looking for someone else?"
Just this one sentence, Cui Zhi changed from a brainless little fangirl back to a normal person, after all, she was looking for her brainless friend. Li Yi was different, he only had one idea, that is, to kill Yu Jiu now, immediately, right away! He had never seen such a spoiler child! Li Yi even suspected that Yu Jiu was sent by God to play with him, every time he just ignited a fire in Cui Zhi's heart, he would extinguish it. Finally, it can be seen that you are the reincarnation of the Fire Spirit Child, and the control of the fire is quite in place.
