The head of An Yuyan was turning the bear's paw on the plate with silver fast, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the leather hat he was wearing was pushed up by the eyebrows, and the horizontal flesh on his face became tense, and he said solemnly:
"What are you talking about!"
An Yuyan's tone was quite soft, without any sense of blame, it can be seen that An Jingming is really An Yuyan's heart, if any disciple in the clan dared to say this, he would have been dragged down and beaten to death, and only when it came out of An Jingming's mouth did An Yuyan be serious.
"The Yu family is domineering and ambitious, while the Li family is restrained and low-key, united and vicious, my An family is sandwiched between these two families, and it is difficult to take care of each other, isn't my father afraid!"
An Jingming stood in the yard, the gold ring on his wrist reflecting the light in the sun, the young man tied his hair up, stood upright in the wind, staring straight at his father.
"This ......"
An Yuyan was suddenly speechless, thought for a while, and spoke:
"Didn't I already listen to you, led the Ding family to Wangyue Lake, and maintained a three-legged situation, and the Yu family promised not to attack the family that paid the offerings...... If one day the Li family invades the north, the Yu family will definitely not sit idly by and watch the expansion of the Li family, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of, you just need to practice with peace of mind, and when you become a foundation, my family will have a place on the lake, wouldn't it be beautiful!"
An Jingming gritted his teeth and shook his head, looking at his father's beautiful face but couldn't get angry, threw his sleeves, and said softly:
"Father! How could the Yu family sit idly by and watch me achieve the foundation! When my cultivation slowly grows year by year, the Yu family will not be able to stand it anylater and will definitely find an excuse to kill their son!"

An Jiyan was stunned, opened his mouth and moved his tongue speechlessly, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal, so he had to say:
"You... What do you mean?"
An Jingming cleared his throat and said in a somewhat immature voice:
"My family's current embarrassing situation stems from the bad geography, Hua Zhongshan is sandwiched between the Li family and the Yu family, and the best strategy today is to sell Hua Zhongshan to the Li family, so that the Li family can also face the pressure of the Yu family.
"I heard that Li Tongya has practiced qi for the eighth layer, which can just attract the attention of the Yu family, the two families protect each other, let me marry a daughter of the Li family, with the help of the power of the sword immortal to deter the Yu family, and wait until I become a foundation, if Li Tongya breaks through successfully, he will surround the Li family against the Yu family, and if Li Tongya fails to break through, he will dominate the two families, and the two families will each hold what they need......"
An Jingming was still talking, An Yuyan's lips were already trembling, he interrupted him with an ugly face, threw the silver tacky in his hand, and hurriedly shouted:
"No, absolutely not, how many spiritual fields are there on Huazhong Mountain, how many clansmen have been supported in my family, and I worked hard to grab it, how can I give it to the Li family for nothing!"
An Jingming sighed softly, knowing that An Yuyan's character was absolutely impossible to give in, so he had to say in a deep voice:
"Since my father doesn't want to cede Hua Zhongshan, and the child still has a middle strategy, the key to the Li family lies in Li Tongya, this person is extremely cautious, and he is concentrating on cultivating in the south, which is not easy to get rid of, but as long as the Yu family joins forces with the Yu family to target Li Xuanling and Li Xuanfeng, except for one of them, can he Li Tongya still hold back and stay out of the matter?"
"And the Yu family is still close to my family now, and there is a great opportunity to take advantage of it, Yu Mugao is a gloomy and vicious person, it is not easy to deal with, as long as the Yu family unites to besiege Yu Mugao, the threat of the Yu family can also be more than half."
Seeing that he wanted to besiege Yu Mugao on one end and get rid of Li Xuanling and Li Xuanfeng on the other, he couldn't keep up with this child's thinking for a while, and muttered:
"Then is my An family on the side of the Yu family or the Li family?"
"Both sides!"
An Jingming smiled softly, raised his head slightly, and said loudly:
"The Yu family and the Li family are afraid of each other, and my An family has the opportunity to sow discord and meet the source, whether there are deaths on either side, or there are no casualties on either side, the beams of the Yu and Li families can be regarded as tied."
An Yuyan was also quite moved when he heard this, pondered for a few breaths, and spoke hesitantly:
"It's just...... Neither side is stupid, how can they do whatever you say?"
"Don't worry, father!"
An Jingming arched his hands and replied:
"It is precisely because both sides are not stupid that they will be afraid of each other, and if they are afraid, they will have murderous intentions.
"As long as the father speaks according to the words taught by the child, he will definitely make the two families frame each other, and both sides will lose!"
————
Lijing Town, the house under the mountain.
Mu Yalu walked around the yard twice, sat down lightly on the stone bench, and the servant on the side hurriedly served the tea.
In the past, Li Xuanxuan didn't often go to her yard, and Mu Yalu also tried his best to keep a low profile, minimizing his sense of existence.
"Madam, this is the tea sent by Changfang yesterday, and it has been delivered to the hospital three times this month."
The maid on the side explained softly that this woman was a descendant of Shanyue who had fled over, and she was completely indistinguishable from the Easterners.
"Young Master Xiu has a good relationship with Jiao'er, and the eldest lady has always been unaccustomed to it, but in the past few years, Jiao'er has begun to show her hospitality after finding out that she has spiritual skills......"
Mu Yalu waved his hand to signal her to stop her mouth, and said softly:
"Changfang has the means, she has been obedient to the concubines in the courtyard for so many years, Xiu'er has also taught well, she is a housekeeper, by no means an idle person, she regards Jiao'er as Yuan Xiu's powerful right-hand man in the future, so naturally she has to have a good relationship with me."
Putting the small teacup on the table, Mu Yalu said in a low voice:
"Can you inquire clearly about what I asked you to ask?"
"Madam Hui, that man's name is Shamori, he is the fourth son of Mujiaoman, and now he lives in the east of the town."
Mu Yalu smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said softly:
"What a godsend opportunity, the closer Dongshan gets to the Li family in the future, the more Jiao'er grows up, and he can also be surrounded by the Mulu clan when he grows up!"
Although the maid didn't understand why Mu Yalu said that it was a god-given opportunity, she was happy to see her wife so happy, but she didn't want the courtyard door to ring, and there were two soft "tuk-tuk" sounds.
"Mother, the child is back!"
"It's the young master!"
The maid was suddenly happy, Mu Yalu quickly stood up, walked quickly to the front of the courtyard, pushed the door gently, and saw Li Yuanjiao standing in front of the door with a smile.
"Jiao'er!"
Mu Yalu took a step forward, hugged him in his arms, and said softly:
"Are you used to living in the mountains this year?"
"Fortunately, all the brothers and sisters are very good to me."
Li Yuanjiao smiled, walked quickly into the yard, sat down at the stone table, took the teacup, and said in a low voice:
"My father is in retreat on the mountain this year, and my mother is in trouble at home?"
"Never."
Mu Yalu replied softly, added water to his cup, and saw Li Yuanjiao breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"My mother is pretty good to my mother, and there are no things like those flies in the house, but it makes me breathe a sigh of relief, my brother and I don't have to be sad because of this, and we have saved a lot of things."
Seeing Mu Yalu nodding and smiling, Li Yuanjiao paused and said seriously:
"I have been dealing with my brother in the clan courtyard these days, and I have learned a lot."
Mu Yalu raised his eyebrows to look at him, saw Li Yuanjiao put down the teacup, and said in a low voice:
"Mother sent someone to inquire about the news of Samori!"
Mu Yalu was shocked at the moment, nodded slightly, and replied a little uneasy:
"Yes......"
Li Yuanjiao shook his head and instructed:
"My mother's identity is sensitive, just ask someone to ask me on the mountain for these things, don't go out to inquire in the future, the Li family's land boundary is different from Dongshanyue, there are many ears and eyes in the clan's main courtyard, my mother doesn't know the tricks, don't fall into the trap."
Mu Yalu was shocked and frightened for a moment, and hurriedly said:
"What are the consequences of this? But your mother dragged you down?!"
"It's not a big deal."
Li Yuanjiao took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"It's not a big deal in itself, not to mention that my brother gave me that secret letter and told me to handle it myself, and I came here just to remind my mother."
"That's good."
Mu Yalu sighed lowly, and the mother and son talked for a few words, Mu Yalu calmed down and asked the maid to step back, and then said softly:
"Young Master Yuan Xiu... Do you treat you the same as before?"
"Not bad."
Li Yuanjiao's voice also lowered and he replied:
"The legitimate son in the family can only be cultivated by the elder brother, and the people in the clan are sparse, and they treat the eldest son equally, regardless of whether he is a concubine or a concubine, and the child has not suffered any grievances, but has received great benefits."
"That's great."
Mu Yalu breathed a sigh of relief, and never thought that Li Yuanjiao would speak again:
"I heard that my family considers that the fourth uncle is in the southern wilderness, and he is bent on seeking the pure yang path, and there is no intention of male and female ministers, and the elders in the clan want to adopt me to the fourth uncle's lineage as a legitimate grandson...... This time I came back to ask my mother."
"What?!"
Mu Yalu was stunned, feeling like he was hit by a flatbread falling from the sky, and said in an astringent voice:
"But...... But that Qingho Sword Immortal?!"
"Exactly."
Li Yuanjiao was also quite shocked to hear Li Xuanling's secret revelation of this meaning at the time, looked at his mother's incredulous expression, and said softly:
"He...... My father also agreed, if this is the case, I will become the eldest son of the fourth lineage, which will be of great benefit in the future."
"Not bad."
Mu Yalu nodded, she was focused on the child, of course she nodded in agreement, thought for a few breaths, and said in a low voice:
"In this way, you can compete with Yuan Xiu for the position of the young patriarch......"
"Mother, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Yuanjiao shook his head and said seriously:
"I admire my brother the most, and only he can be the young patriarch, Jiao'er only wants to assist his brother well in this life, and he has no other intentions."
"That's fine."
Mu Yalu smiled when he heard this, thinking about how to convey these words to Chang Fang's ears.
"On the contrary, Nashamori is a hedonistic person."
The two chatted for a while, Li Yuanjiao explained Samori's temperament carefully, and Mu Yalu smiled:
"Not everyone can be familiar with human feelings, your Li family is only good to their own people and the people under their rule, so it is pitiful that Samori fell into the hands of you and your brother."
"The throne is given to him, what's the pity!"
Li Yuanjiao didn't think so, laughed, Mu Yalu looked at him with a smile on the side, counted from Li Xuanxuan to Li Yuanxiu in his heart, and found that none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, and thought to himself:
"The Li family is all bad, fine and bad, it's not bad to be outward, after six or eight generations, the relatives are estranged, but there is really a good show of dragon fighting and tiger fighting, fortunately, my son was born in front, so I don't have to fight with the same shrewd and cunning characters!"
————
The top of Lijing Mountain.
Li Tongya took a few steps in the air, and his figure moved sideways like a ghost, transforming into several water-like shadows around his body, floating in front and behind the figure for a while, and disappearing in front of him with a snort.
""Crossing the River Turbulent Steps"! Finally, it has become a success, and there will be more protection against the enemy in the future, unless you meet a foundation building monk, you can leave calmly even if you can't defeat it."
"Crossing the River Turbulent Step" has a total of three layers, the difficulty is acceptable at the beginning of practice, and it will be much more difficult in the future, it took Li Tongya seven or eight years to complete the first level.
The "Jianghe Yiqi Technique" practiced by Li Tongya is the basic exercise of Danglingyumen, which itself is in the same vein as this footwork, and should be practiced quickly, but in the past few years, the main energy has been focused on cultivation, hoping to break through the foundation before the age of sixty, so this footwork will only be taken out when the cultivation encounters a bottleneck to take a look and practice.
Only Li Xuanling in the family was quite talented in footwork, and he practiced this footwork early, and the rest of the clan had never heard of it.
"It's a pity that the Dan Fire Heart Technique, the huge Li family can't find a person who can give birth to Dan Fire......"
Li Tongya thought about it, the Xiao family was far more than the Li family, and the entire Xiao family was much relieved that Xiao Chuting and Xiao Yuansi could activate the Dan Fire.
"No wonder Yu Muxian, who worshipped the Qingchi Sect from the Yu family, is so valued, and his ability to refine weapons must also meet the special conditions of the law."
Li Tongya had just landed in the mountains, and a mana transmission sound flew into the formation and echoed in the cave.
"An Jia An Zhenyan came to visit, and please open a big formation with Brother Tongya!"
"An Partridge?"
Li Tongya hesitated slightly, this person had no friendship with himself, and he had divided the Lu family together tacitly, but he didn't know why he came to the door today.
As soon as the magic circle was opened, Li Tongya sat in the courtyard for a few breaths, Li Xuanling had already led An Yuyan in, Li Tongya glanced at him and said politely:
"Li Tongya has seen Brother Zhenyan."
"Brother, you're welcome!"
An Yuyan grinned and clenched his fist towards Li Tongya, the originally shiny bald head was now wearing a gray-white leather hat, finally not like a butcher in the secular world, but like a rich landlord.
"I heard that Brother Tongya has broken through the eighth layer of qi training, it's really fast!"
An Yuyan took the tea bowl and nodded with a smile, the two had not seen each other for decades, and the cultivation of the two was almost the same back then, but now An Jiyan has broken through to the fifth level of qi training, but Li Tongya has already practiced qi at the eighth level.
"Brother Zhenyan praised."
Li Tongya didn't agree with his nonsense, and asked straight to the point:
"What did Brother Zhiyan do here?"
