Chapter 21: The Deer Dies
"You ......" Li Tai looked at Lin Mo in horror, looking at everything around him, a chill suddenly surged up from Li Tai's heart, he didn't understand what was going on.
"What's the matter, Shan Guogong, you haven't figured it out yet?" King Rong looked at the dazed Li Tai with a smile, and his face was full of meaning: "Okay, this king won't be bothered to explain it to you!"
"No need, the Duke of China is not so stupid!" At this moment, no matter how stupid Li Tai was, he knew that it was Lin Mo who put himself and the Queen Mother and the others together.
Lin Mo first pretended to be biased towards himself, and agreed to set a trap with himself to lure King Rong to take the bait, but in fact, he united with King Rong, and put himself in a cage.
Sure enough, it's a plan in a plan!
After understanding that Li Tai came back to his senses, the fear on his face was no longer there, but showed an indifferent look, looked at Lin Mo who was still smiling in front of him, and said lightly: "Lin Shangqing, can you tell the old man, what are you wasting so much effort for?"
Li Tai didn't understand, since this Lin Mo chose to favor King Rong and recognized his crime, why did he spend such a lot of effort to come up with such a plan?
Wouldn't it be better to catch it directly?
A chuckle appeared on the corner of Lin Mo's mouth, he took a few steps forward, patted Li Tai's shoulder, and sighed: "Alas, Shan Guogong, I don't want to do it below, if you don't stabilize you first, the women who were arrested by you will be destroyed by you!"
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, smiled contemptuously, and said, "I see, Lin Shangqing is really benevolent, and he is willing to spend such effort for a few women." ”
Saying that, Li Tai let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and sighed: "It's a pity, if you don't get the instructions of your father this morning, they will still die after all, Lin Shangqing, you can't save them." ”
"Where is she?" At this moment, a violent anger sounded, and then a middle-aged man in regular clothes broke out of King Rong's team, it was Kezhou Thorn Shi, Fu Yunsheng.
With Fu Yunsheng, Yunzhou assassinated Zhang Guo, but he still didn't have any sadness, a concubine for Zhang Guo, if he died, he would die, and it wouldn't cost much to find another one.
Fu Yunsheng twisted Li Tai's collar, his face full of anger: "Li Tai, where is my wife? What are you doing to her? If you dare to touch her, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives." ”
"Who are you? Let go of the Duke of the Country!" Looking at Fu Yunsheng who was furious in front of him, Li Tai was at a loss, broke free of Fu Yunsheng's hand, and said in a cold voice: "Who is your wife? ”
"You ......" Looking at Li Tai's tall face, Fu Yunsheng was speechless, and the anger in his heart instantly rose, and he raised his fist and blasted Li Tai's face.
"Bang-"
However, Fu Yunsheng's satisfied and angry punch did not hit Li Tai's face, but was grabbed by a hand, and the owner of that hand was Lin Mo.
Lin Mo grabbed Fu Yunsheng tightly and said indifferently: "Fu Tingshi, don't be excited, your wife, the father-in-law may know where it is, maybe with those arrested women." ”
"It's a pity, the place where the Tibetans in my country is so hidden, you still can't find your wife!" Li Tai interjected, his expression relaxed, and he didn't look panicked at all when he was about to be imprisoned.
After appeasing Fu Yunsheng, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Oh, Shan Guogong is so indifferent, is he sure that Benqing has not found the woman who was tied up again, and he doesn't dare to take you?"
"That's good!" Li Tai smiled confidently and said, "Since Lin Shangqing is willing to spend so much effort just to rescue those women, how dare you take your father?"
After speaking, Li Tai looked at Lin Mo, saw that he was speechless, and continued: "Lin Shangqing, Lin Shangqing, your benevolence and righteousness are good things, but it is also your weakness, as long as your duke holds them in your hands, how can you dare to take your duke?"
Suddenly, Li Tai smiled arrogantly again: "Besides, what if you have a large number of cultivators? The soldiers and horses of the Duke of China are twice as large as yours, can you easily capture me?"
When King Rong heard this, he took over the words and said, "Why not, you are in our eyes, you have no cultivator to protect you, as long as you hold you, even if you have more soldiers and horses, what is the use?"
"The premise is that you must also be able to take out your own country!" Li Tai smiled awe-inspiringly, revealing a terrifying smile, and then his body suddenly leaped backwards, quickly moving away from the center of the soldier's front.
"Di Wu, quickly catch him for this king!" King Rong suddenly felt bad, and then suddenly remembered that this Shan Guogong was also a cultivator in the realm of a sword master, and hurriedly ordered Di Wu to do it.
Di Wu lifted his figure, aimed at Li Tai and swept away, instantly approaching Li Tai, at this moment, Di Wu suddenly found that a powerful force centered on Li Tai suddenly unfolded, surging madly towards him.
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Li Tai's mouth, and his palm condensed at the long sword in the hand of a soldier and horse, and the long sword flew into Li Tai's hand, holding the long sword in his hand, and after pulling out a sword flower, he stabbed at Di Wu.
Di Wu was suddenly startled, the momentum of his whole body skyrocketed, and the ten-foot martial domain instantly unfolded, colliding with the powerful energy that Li Tai attacked him, and then pulled out the long sword in his hand.
It's just that the two sword tips competed against each other, making a fierce sound of contention, and the two were deadlocked in mid-air, and no one could have the upper hand.
King Rong was stunned by the scene in front of him, he didn't understand, this Li Tai was just a sword master, how could he fight with Di Wu in the realm of the Great Sword Master, and it was a stalemate.
Seeing King Rong with a stunned face, Lin Mo explained: "His Royal Highness King Rong, I see that we have all been deceived by Li Tai, he is also a great sword master, and he has been hiding his realm before. ”
"This old man has been hiding his strength, and this king has underestimated him!" Hearing Lin Mo's explanation, King Rong's expression froze, and a few cold rays shot out of his eyes.
"His Royal Highness King Rong doesn't need to worry!" relieved King Rong, Lin Mo instructed Qiu Yun behind him: "Qiu Yun, go and help Di Wu and take down Li Tai." ”
"Yes!"
Qiu Yun didn't use the long sword in his hand, but pulled out the long sword of a soldier and horse behind him, and after saying thank you to the soldier and horse, his figure jumped up and attacked Li Tai.
At this moment, a long sword suddenly shot at Qiu Yun, only to break through the neck that was about to reach Qiu Yun in an instant, and Qiu Yun didn't have time to dodge, nor did he have time to unfold the ten-foot martial domain.
Xi Feng's face changed, and he hurriedly condensed his sword fingers, and the long sword of a soldier and horse behind him collided with the long sword that attacked Qiu Yun in an instant, making a sword sound and a little firelight.
After crashing into the long sword that was attacking Qiu Yun, the long sword flew out upside down, and a middle-aged man in gray jumped out of Li Tai's soldiers and horses, and took the long sword in his hand.
The long sword was in hand, and the middle-aged man in gray held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and with a fierce swing at Qiu Yun, an invisible blade condensed by sword qi swept out, with the momentum of wanting Qiu Yun's life.
After the help of the wind, Qiu Yun had already sensed that there was still a great sword master present, and even if he fell to the ground, he stabilized his body, his body turned, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, an invisible blade also came out of the sword.
"Bang-"
The two invisible blades collided in an instant, making a loud muffled sound.
"Well done, Yuan Kai!" Li Tai, who was confronting Di Wu, smiled awe-inspiringly, his whole body swelled again, and a piercing sharp sound came out from the place where the tip of the sword met.
Di Wu's face changed, and the momentum of his whole body increased suddenly, and the two momentum collided, causing the two of them to fly upside down, and then slowly fell to the ground.
Seeing Li Tai landing, the middle-aged man named Yuan Kai hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Lord Guogong, are you okay?"
Li Tai shook his head: "It's okay, it's quite a fight." ”
As he spoke, Li Tai looked at Lin Mo and King Rong again, and chuckled: "How about it, Lin Shangqing, His Royal Highness King Rong, do you think that with three great sword masters and five thousand soldiers and horses, you can still win the Duke of your country? Now maybe it's your bad luck!"
Looking at the 10,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, Li Tai shouted loudly: "Come on, Rong Wang Ji Guang and Shangqing's doctor Lin Ziyong led troops to break into the Guogong Mansion without authorization, and were killed on the spot by the order of the Empress Dowager." ”
"Yes!"
Looking at Li Tai's smug appearance and listening to Li Tai's 10,000 soldiers and horses' loud shouts and earth-shattering voices, King Rong was a little worried: "What should Lin Shangqing do?
King Rong is not worried about his life, after all, there are three great sword masters on his side, and there are two sword masters, and there is no problem in covering the retreat of himself and others, he is just unwilling not to capture Li Tai, a big fish.
If there is a bloody battle with Shan Guogong, with the sharpness of the three great swordsmen, although his side will win in the end, King Rong does not want to see this situation.
Because that will make the people lose their favor with King Rong, thinking that he is a person who kills important ministers for the sake of power, which is inconsistent with his image of benevolence and righteousness that he carefully manages.
"Yes, Lin Shangqing, you have to think of a way! Otherwise, my wife and those women will be in a bad situation!" Fu Yunsheng was also anxious at the moment.
Fu Yunsheng understood that if Li Tai's family could not be brought to justice tonight, his wife and those innocent women would soon be poisoned.
Lin Mo ignored the questions of the two, but looked at Li Tai, and said with a slight smile: "Shan Guogong is really good at hiding, it seems that today, we are doomed to return in vain." ”“
"Lin Shangqing, this ......" Listening to the meaning of Lin Mo's words, he was going to retreat tonight, King Rong and Fu Yun were anxious, and King Rong was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Mo's opening.
Lin Mo opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness King Rong, the Duke of Shan Guo has hidden a hand, and now they have two great sword masters, if we forcibly capture Li Tai, your status and image in the hearts of the people will not be good." ”
"This ......" Listening to Lin Mo's words of persuasion, King Rong was very unwilling, but after weighing it, he had to say: "Okay, then let's retreat!"
"Hahaha, His Royal Highness King Rong really understands the overall situation!" Listening to King Rong's order, Li Tai smiled proudly: "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness King Rong, today you led troops to break into our government's mansion, and my country's government will not care about you." ”
"Hmph, let's go!" King Rong snorted coldly, and he wanted to leave with his troops.
King Rong had already calculated that Li Tai would not dare to bring this matter to the court, after all, this matter was a big trouble, and he was a capital crime, which was tantamount to forcing himself to fight with the sword soldiers of the Hou Party.
King Rong firmly believes that Li Tai, Xuanyuan, Xuanshu and others do not have the courage to dare to fight with themselves, duel with the field, and this is also an important reason why King Rong dares to follow Lin Mo's plan and lead troops to break into Shan Guogong.
"You can't withdraw, Your Highness King Rong. Seeing that King Rong was about to lead the army to retreat, Fu Yunsheng hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him: "Withdraw, Neizi she, and those women, but it's ......."
"Fu stabbing history, shut up. Zhang Guo, who had been standing aside without saying a word, spoke: "Fu Assassin History, do you know that the overall situation of His Royal Highness King Rong is important?"
Ignoring Zhang Guo's words, Fu Yunsheng suddenly knelt in front of King Rong, and begged in a tone that was almost crying: "His Royal Highness King Rong, you can't withdraw, the lower officials beg you, please save your inner son, the lower officials can't live without her!"
King Rong's face also showed sadness, and he hurriedly helped Fu Yunsheng up, and said sincerely: "Fu Tingshi, I'm sorry, this king also wants to help you, but now he is also powerless!"
Lin Mo couldn't bear to look at Fu Yunsheng's pleading appearance anymore, and looked at him a little gloomily: "Shan Guogong won tonight, I don't know if Shan Guogong can answer the next question before we leave?"
Li Tai thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Lin Shangqing has something to ask, but this is also a question that the national government can answer you, and from now on you will be the enemy of my rear party." ”
"Thank you Shan Guogong, I understand!" Lin Mo nodded: "Those women are destined to die at your hands, and if you arrest the women later, Shan Guogong will definitely change the place of detention, I don't know if Shan Guogong can tell you the place where these women are being held now?"
"Why not!" Li Tai smiled arrogantly, but instead of directly asking and answering, he clapped his hands, and only after seeing more than forty cultivators rushing out, did he say, "There is a saying that says, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, Lin Shangqing, do you understand what your country is saying?"
"Shan Guogong is really cautious, and he has not forgotten to deter by force at this time. Lin Mo looked at some of those cultivators, and Xi Feng told himself that most of these forty people were in the Great Swordsman realm, and two of them were in the Sword Master realm.
This Li Tai really hides his strength, in addition to hiding that he is a great cultivator of the Great Sword Master realm, he also hides a great cultivator of the Great Sword Master realm, and two cultivators of the Sword Master realm.
"There's no way!" Li Tai said helplessly: "You have three great sword masters, if your duke doesn't deter you with more people, after your duke informs you of the location of the Tibetans, what will you do with your duke in a bloody battle with your duke?"
"Shan Guogong is too worried, the charge of bloodbathing the Guogong Mansion, this king can't afford to bear it, let's withdraw!" King Rong snorted coldly, waved his hand and wanted to evacuate with everyone, but at this moment, a loud duck mulberry suddenly sounded.
"His Royal Highness King Rong is slow, His Majesty the Emperor has a decree, please ask His Royal Highness King Rong to stand to meet the holy decree. The person who came was Gao Yue, and there were many soldiers and horses in armor behind him.
Under the escort of soldiers and horses, Gao Yue stood on a carriage, opened the holy decree, and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Li Tai, the prince of Shanguo, is thirsty for murder, the most evil, and now he is specially ordered to Rong Prince Ji Guang, leading the troops to level the Duke's mansion of Shanguo, if there is disobedience, it can be destroyed on the spot, Qin this!"
After reading it, Gao Yue took over the holy decree and led more than forty cultivators to break through the encirclement of Li Tai's soldiers and horses, and came to King Rong.
"Qiu Niang, why are you here?" King Rong looked at the woman in military uniform in surprise, Xu Qiu Niang.
Xu Qiuniang put the holy decree in the hands of King Rong and said: "Your Royal Highness, it is Lin Shangqing who entrusted someone to give a letter to the concubine, asking the concubine to enter the palace overnight to ask for a holy decree, and bring the high prince to announce the decree and capture the prince of Shan Guo." ”
"It's true!" King Rong looked at the holy decree in his hand excitedly, instantly became excited, and then looked at the soldiers and horses surrounding Gao Yue and said, "Which army is that group of soldiers and horses, and how many people are there?"
Xu Qiuniang said: "If you go back to Your Highness, the security battalion under the command of Ji Qian is 10,000 people, plus more than 40 cultivators led by the concubine, and the army led by Your Highness, it is enough to kill Li Tai in one hour." ”
"Great!" King Rong pulled out the long sword at his waist, turned around and pointed at Li Tai and said: "Li Tai, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, this king will let 10,000 security battalion soldiers and horses assist this king in arresting you, why don't you hurry up and arrest you?"
Li Tai looked at the front in a daze, and began to grit his teeth, now it is impossible to refute the false decree of King Rong, because this is the confidant of Emperor Daqian, the chief eunuch, Gao Yuelai.
Li Tai, who gritted his teeth with hatred, was suddenly shocked in his heart, remembered something, looked at Lin Mo and said coldly: "Lin Mo, you asked the question of your country just now, you are deliberately delaying time, waiting for them, right?"
Li Tai suddenly remembered that Lin Mo knew where he had hidden the woman he had captured, and that he had told him about the place where he was being held when the two had agreed on a plan to lure King Rong into a trap.
Lin Mo laughed: "Yo, Shan Guogong finally remembered? I thought you were old and confused, and I forgot what I had told you." ”
After speaking, Lin Mo looked at Li Tai's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and shouted: "Wait for everyone to quickly put down their weapons, His Majesty the Emperor has already issued a holy decree, do you want to be disobedient? This is a big sin of the Nine Clans." ”
"You soldiers and horses can think clearly, once you oppose the army of the imperial court, what will be the end, you can rest assured, as long as you put down your weapons and throw yourself into the imperial court, this secretary guarantees that you are not guilty. ”
The reason why Lin Mo had to delay time and wait for Gao Yue to lead the holy decree and lead Ji Qian and the security battalion to arrive was to force Li Tai's soldiers and horses to lay down their weapons, so as not to give birth to a senseless bloody difficulty.
And to think of letting Li Tai's soldiers and horses put down and obediently throw themselves in, you have to ask for two conditions.
The first is the majesty of the Great Qian Emperor, although the Great Qian Emperor has no real power and is subject to all kinds of constraints, but in the hearts of this group of soldiers and horses, there is a bitter heart of loyalty and fear of the king, and only the coercion of the Great Qian Emperor can suppress them.
The second is the suppressive strength, as long as the army on their side overwhelms this group of soldiers, they will be truly afraid, and they will have the heart of fear of the enemy and surrender.
Seeing that the group of soldiers and horses were a little moved, Lin Mo continued: "Benqing wants you to know who Benqing is, Benqing is Lin Ziyong who His Majesty the Emperor invited to go down the mountain, what Benqing said, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely adopt it." ”
As soon as Lin Mo said this, the group of soldiers and horses began to chill, did they know too well what Lin Ziyong's three meant? It meant that Mo Zong, one of the three peak sects, meant that the military god who could break through the 100,000 elite iron cavalry of Beidi with more than 20,000 people.
If the first two conditions can put great pressure on this group of soldiers and horses, then Lin Mo's words, like a bombshell, exploded in their hearts.
God of War, how can he and the others go against Lord God of War, and they are still at a disadvantage, thinking of this, Li Tai's soldiers and horses began to swallow their saliva, and looked at each other with their comrades.
"Bang-" Suddenly, the sound of a weapon landing sounded.
However, the sound of the weapon landing was like the last straw that crushed the camel, and the last drop of rain that crushed the flood embankment, making Li Tai's 10,000 soldiers and horses begin to put down their weapons one after another.
After the sound of a chaotic weapon landing calmed down, a slightly angry voice suddenly sounded, and I saw Ji Qian, the commander of the security battalion, slap on the helmet of the soldier next to him.
"Why did your kid's sword fall, can't you hold it steadily? ”
"Yes, Lord. I saw that the soldier picked up the sword in fear, but he smiled very brightly in his heart: this time he has made a meritorious service, and the commander will definitely reward him well.
This soldier's weapon was the first one to land, and it was this voice that crushed the last line of defense of Li Tai's group of soldiers and horses.
Looking at the secret smile of the soldier under him, Ji Qian praised in his heart: Lin Shangqing is still powerful, as long as the sound of this weapon landing is appropriate, it can destroy the will of the other party.
patting the letter handed to him by Lin Mo on his chest, Ji Qian felt that a bright future was waiting for him, and he seemed to see a new bright avenue.
