Chapter 696 - A Man Who Doesn't Die No Matter How Old He Is
"All the imperial merchants want to keep their status, and they want to know what your master thinks? The nobles want to understand the attitude of the Supreme towards them? As long as the money arrives, what can't you inquire about? And in the process, you don't do anything, just arrange some henchmen and eunuchs. ”
"Let the eunuchs reveal the dispensable information of 'supreme love for goods' to the princes, officials, and nobles by the way, and won't a lot of money come? As the Emperor of Great Shang, as long as you go out for a walk, the harvest will definitely be ten times and a hundred times that of mine. ”
Emperor Xinwu pondered for a moment and said, "That's ...... Isn't that shameless?"
Li Le said: "There are even more shameless ones, you should write down the officials you see when you search all over the place, and those who can see the face of heaven must have spent a lot of money, otherwise what do the princes and nobles earn? Such people must be corrupt officials, these people don't say that they are innocent, there must be a few capable officials in them, you can screen them later, and finally determine how to clean them up." ”
"By the way, I took a few gentlemen who were proficient in accounts, secretly checked the accounts of those imperial merchants, and when they were clear, checked and understood, they were slaughtered as fat pigs, and then confiscated the family property into the inner treasury. In short, when you go around and return to Beijing, you will be surprised to find that it is time for the inner library to expand. ”
Emperor Xinwu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and scolded Li Le for being shameless.
Dongfang's heart was like a mirror, but he still said in a playful manner: "Grand Governor, why do you want to expand the inner library?"
Li Le spread his hands: "Because there is too much silver, I can't fit it." ”
The previously solemn atmosphere gradually became relaxed under this discussion, and Li Le saw that the barren mountain had completely calmed down, so he said, "Let's go, it's time to clean up the battlefield." ”
Emperor Xinwu hummed for a moment, and then they led the Tigers back towards the barren mountain.
When he retreated here, he fled like a wolf, for fear of being affected. When I went back, I was not in a hurry, the enemy was dead, so let's walk slowly.
Emperor Xinwu sighed with some regret and said: "Guo Yi, the official of Jikou, is dead, it's a pity, a rare awakening person, I plan to cultivate him as a confidant." Time also, life also. ”
Li Le also felt a little helpless, he had a good impression of Guo Yi, not only because of the summer solstice, but also because their usual friendship was also very good. Originally, I thought that after this matter was over, the other party would be absorbed into the Xuanyi and become the Xuantu Hidden Pile of the Forbidden Army, and at that time, the entire Jikou Division would be completely controlled by the Xuanyi Forbidden Army, which would be very helpful to the goal of inspecting the world.
On the other hand, it is also because of Xuantu's command that Mu Zhengyu's age is getting old, and his energy is not as good as before, and he will take a back seat in a few years and become the chief teacher of Xuanyi together with Yin Wuji. And Guo Yi, whether it is the prestige of the rivers and lakes or his brains, can be qualified for the position of Xuantu commander, so he is also one of the investigation directions of the next Xuantu commander.
But now it seems that there is no such opportunity. It's really time, and it's fate.
Li Le shook his head and said, "Guo Yi is also loyal this time, how are you going to reward him?"
Emperor Xinwu thought for a while and said, "Give the title hereditary loyal and brave uncle, this title should be fine." Didn't he have a son? Although I heard that he was still young, he should have no problem inheriting Uncle Zhongyong. I will also give him a gold medal of 'loyalty and bravery', so that no one in the side branches of the Guo family will dare to fight his idea, and it can be regarded as a talisman. It's ...... you."
Speaking of this, Emperor Xinwu looked at Li Le with a smile and said, "You promised to take care of the young son of the Guo family." ”
Li Le didn't notice his smile, nodded and said, "Indeed, I plan to arrange Guo Ding in Xuanyi's 'Golden Generation Plan', and then accept him as a righteous son, to ensure that there will be no accidents before he becomes an adult." If he wants to learn how to fly a knife, or if he doesn't have a knife solution, I'll teach him everything. If he wants to learn something else, I will also find a famous teacher for him. In short, I will definitely teach him to become a talent, and with my protection of him, I can ensure his safety all his life. ”
Emperor Xinwu smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's thoughtful, do you still have something to say that you are embarrassed to say?"
"???" Li Le didn't know why.
Emperor Xinwu said: "Accept him as a righteous son, so that you can accept his stepmother in a fair and honest manner." As Officer Guo said before, he has always been raising the wife of the Guo family. Picking up grass and beating rabbits is your forte, so calculating, it really deserves to be the governor of my forbidden army, Li Zhi'an. ”
Li Le's face immediately darkened, but he knew that it was useless to argue at this time, so he could only respond weakly: "This is a scandal and a misunderstanding." I'm innocent with Xia Solstice......"
"Okay, don't pretend in front of me, the heavenly knife is lustful, who doesn't know? Besides, the eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, as long as you live up to the eldest sister, I will be lazy to pay attention to your bullshit. ”
At this time, they no longer had the tension they had when the war began, and the boulder that had been pressing on their hearts for several months finally fell. So when I speak, I seem to be much more relaxed and casual.
Just when they had just walked out of a mile, Liang Jiuxi and Sun Tianji came to the sound.
After throwing the three black fighting corpses and a head on the ground, Liang Jiuxi bowed and saluted, and said: "Handed over to the Supreme Order, fortunately, the old slave and Tianji joined forces to kill these three thieves." ”
Sun Tianji arched his hand and said: "There are many mysteries in the bodies of these mysterious people, and the old man and the old master of Tiance have made a claim, and brought their corpses back together with the mask bag. ”
Emperor Xinwu looked at the scars all over their bodies, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Jiugong and Tianjixia don't need to be polite, the two of you have worked hard, I should ......thank you to the two of you."
"Is it so interesting? The divine envoys are all dead? It seems that the new emperor of Dashang still has some ability this time. ”
Before Emperor Xinwu's words were finished, an old and abrupt voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
This change shocked everyone, as soon as the voice appeared, Liang Jiuxi clenched the big sword in his hand in an instant, Sun Tianji's whole body tensed, Li Le pinched the flying knife in his left hand, and lifted it slightly in his right hand. Dongfang Hu was in front of Xinwu, his hands were full of fine needles. The loss of the warriors instantly formed a formation, as if facing a great enemy.
Emperor Xinwu's face was gloomy, and the immortal sword was already out of its sheath, and he asked, "Who is pretending to be a god and a ghost!"
At this time, it was the end of the ugly hour, the sky was still dark, the night wind blew through the mountains and forests, silent but depressing, as if in a ghost prison, everyone was no longer as relaxed and comfortable as just now.
"Me. ”
A calm and indifferent answer, but it was particularly abrupt, and everyone noticed that a black fighter appeared inexplicably beside Emperor Xinwu. I don't know when he arrived, and everyone didn't have half of it before. He seemed to appear out of thin air, and it was as if he was already by Xinwu's side, and no one else noticed.
Emperor Xinwu was suddenly startled, instinctively retreated, and distanced himself from this black fighter. The black fighter let Xinwu leave, without the slightest intention of making a move.
Dongfang Zhuo once again protected Xinwu's body, and while looking at this person in disbelief, he also shouted: "Escort!"
Boom, boom, all the damaged tigers instantly protected the new martial arts.
Li Le felt that the pores of his whole body were exploding, he had never seen such a terrible enemy, and even the moment this person appeared, his whole soul trembled. Although this person did not exude any killing intent or martial arts momentum, he just stood there unremarkably, but he still instinctively felt fear of this person.
This kind of feeling, even in the body of any great master he had fought against before, he had never experienced it. Whether it was the murderous Shangguan Jinghong, or the Shui Yao Immortal who suddenly attacked during the Forbidden War, or the masked man he saw at that time, they had never given Li Le such a feeling.
However, he has only seen such an aura in one person, and that person is his eldest brother, Li Beibei!
Merge into heaven and earth, and turn yourself into the universe. Attract the immeasurable sea and take off the mundane body.
Extraordinary!
Only the breath of a transcendent person could make Li Le feel fear from the depths of his soul at this time! In the face of this terrible enemy, he didn't even have the courage to escape.
After a brief period of consternation, Sun Tianji and Liang Jiuxi planned to launch an attack on the Black Fighter at this time.
However, before they could take the first step, the black fighter suddenly spoke: "It's better not to move......"
His voice was still as old as a dead corpse in a coffin, but as soon as such a voice came out of his lips, Sun and Liang really didn't move.
"It's going to die. ”
This is what the black fighter said in a row after the above sentence, after such a complete sentence, Sun Tianji and Liang Jiuxi completely lost the courage to make a move. This is almost instinctive suppression, like a rabbit seeing a tiger, the prey in the food chain facing the predator's constant fear in the blood and bones.
The atmosphere became extremely oppressive and panicked, and at this moment everyone was silent, as if buried in a grave.
The black fighter, his stature was not very tall, and his entire back was completely stiffened because of his old age. His face was unmasked, full of loose and wrinkled skin. He couldn't be any older. No one has ever seen such an old man, and it feels like he is always old, but he is always immortal.
"Don't do it, everyone, he's a transcendent being!"
When Emperor Xinwu was about to give the order to attack the Tiger, Li Le hurriedly stopped it, because he knew that in the face of the transcendental, even if all the Xuanyi were here, they would only be wiped out. What's more, now there is only half of the damaged army, and he doesn't even have the power to stuff the teeth of this 'old immortal'.
And he saw that the other party didn't seem to have the intention of making a move, so he hurriedly issued such an order to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Extraordinary!
This person turned out to be extraordinary?
