Chapter Ninety-Six: Tai Shi Ci avoids disaster in Liaodong
"No worries at the border!"
Zhang Rang repeated the words of Xiao Huangmen, looked at the northeast direction, and sighed: "The Lu of the Eater, the Matter of Loyalty." The prince's merit is high and shocking the lord, and it is not a crime of war! Let, I have to act as a last resort, don't blame me! ”
Since the Han Dynasty was dedicated to the emperor, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was at its peak, and the sacredness could not be offended, and anyone who threatened the imperial power could not get a good death!
Zhang Rang never thought about the possibility of failure, and all he thought about was feeling sorry for Li Man.
Zhang Rang knew that Li Man was a loyal minister and a capable minister, but he had to die, because Liu Hong was not angry, his health was not good, and it was difficult to last long, in order to avoid future troubles, Liu Hong had to make this decision!
Zhang Rang squatted down and sat on the steps in front of the West Palace, the West Palace is the dormitory, Liu Hong's body is getting worse, and he stays in the dormitory all day long drinking medicine to regulate his body, otherwise, he would not be so anxious to attack Li Man!
Inside the dormitory, the lights are dim.
Liu Hong kicked everyone out, and at the moment he just wanted to be alone.
Liu Hong curled up, sat on the dragon couch with his knees crossed, buried his head deep between his legs, and always maintained the same posture, without saying a word for a long time!
Liu Hong hated himself, why was he so uncompromising, and he exhausted his body at a young age.
Liu Hong hated the imperial doctor, he was full of wine bags and rice bags, and he let himself eat a lot of precious medicinal materials every day, but his body showed no signs of improvement, but was getting worse and worse.
Liu Hong hates Li Man, why does he always like to be in the limelight so much? Isn't it good to be at peace with a different race? Now that he has a reputation as a high-ranking master, he has forced himself to sacrifice a butcher's knife and kill the ministers of the humerus, why bother?
After a long silence!
Liu Hong let out a long sigh, with tears in his eyes, and said a familiar sentence lightly: "General... Walk slowly! ”
Eighteen years ago, the blood moon was in the sky.
Liu Hong once said to Hu Guang, who was in the post of Taifu at the time: "Taifu... Walk slowly! "The words are sincere, and the words are full of retention!
Eighteen years later, in the dimly lit dormitory!
Liu Hong said similar words again, but time has changed, when he talks to Hu Guang, he shows his feelings of retention, and when he talks to Li Man, he shows his feelings of farewell!
The same context, the same sincerity, but two diametrically opposed endings!
————————————
Liaodong County, Xiangping City!
A man and a horse are walking slowly on the street!
The Han Dynasty had already decreed that no horses were allowed to run in the city, except for urgent documents and post guards!
Of course, this decree is mainly aimed at ordinary people, and has nothing to do with the privileged class!
The man leading the horse, seven feet seven inches long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a piece of equipment is very eye-catching, he is carrying a plain silver gun, carrying a double iron halberd, and there is a treasure carving bow hanging in the saddle, but this horse... But it's ordinary, it can't be more ordinary!
Along the way, what he saw and heard greatly exceeded his expectations.
In Xiangping City, the streets are clean and tidy, crowded with people, you can hear the sound of vendors selling everywhere, the smile on Li Shu's face is not fake at all, it can be seen that the happiness index of Li Shu in Liaodong is quite high!
"The Marquis of Anxiang governs Liaodong County in an orderly manner, which is not much better than the Central Plains Counties!" The man leading the horse muttered, "It's better to meet than to be famous!" ”
As he walked, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers in front of him.
Following the prestige, he saw that the crowd in front of him was separating from both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye, he subconsciously pulled the reins, wanting to pull the mount into the crowd, but he never thought that this old horse did not buy it, no matter how he pulled, he would not move!
There was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves from far to near, and he was in a hurry, and he was about to whip the old horse twice, but he didn't want to be the first one, and he had already come to his side!
He looked up, and when he saw the person clearly, he unconsciously gasped!
There is one person and one horse in front of him, which can be described as tall and big!
The height of the person in front of him has reached at least eight feet five inches (about 196), and the mount under the crotch is also extraordinary.
Looking up from the bottom, I saw someone stepping on cowhide boots, wearing eight-treasure chain armor, holding an iron lance, and wearing a tiger head soap gold helmet.
The person who came was young, but he was born with a tiger's back and a bee waist, his face was as tough as a knife and an axe, with sharp edges and corners, deep eyes, a tall nose bridge, and a sense of masculinity, the corners of his mouth were always hooked with a slight arc, at first glance, it gave people a sense of cynicism, and then at a glance, it gave people a sense of emptiness and sacrosanctity!
The person who came was Li Hu, he looked at the person in front of him condescendingly, said lightly, "Where did you come from?" Where are you going?"
"From Qingzhou, go to Liaodong!"
"Why did you come? What is the last name? Is there a way? Li Hu asked three questions in one breath!
"The surname is Taishi, the single name is a ci word, the word is meaningful, this is a sword tour to study, there is no way out!" Tai Shi Ci said lightly!
Li Hu bowed slightly, moved his eyes to the weapons and equipment on Tai Shici's body, raised his eyebrows and said: "The equipment is not bad, but I don't know how the martial arts are?" ”
The old mistakes of the militants have been made again!
The main blame is that Tai Shici's outfit is too popular, in Liaodong, an acre of three-point land, only tigers and leopards pretend to be forced, where is it the turn of others to be in the limelight!
Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists slightly, and said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I can also use some fists and feet!"
"That's great!" When Li Hu heard this, he immediately became interested, and said: "Horse battle, foot battle is up to you!" ”
Tai Shici had already guessed Li Hu's identity.
Li Hu's image is very prominent, and his reputation is huge, as long as he is not stupid, he can guess his identity!
Li Hu's belligerent personality is no secret for a long time, and when he heard that Li Hu was fighting, Tai Shici just smiled slightly, and said categorically: "Foot battle!" ”
Li Hu glanced at the mount beside Tai Shici and said, "If you can walk fifty rendezvous in my hands, I will give you a good horse, how about it?" ”
"A gentleman's word..."
"It's hard to chase a horse..."
Tai Shi Ci stuck the plain silver spear on the ground, pulled out the double halberd from behind his back, and put on a posture, preparing to fight Li Hu!
"Fetch my lance!" A knight stepped forward quickly and handed the short lance into Li Hu's hand!
It's really interesting, Li Hu is belligerent, often competes with others, because he feels that the horse lance is not in his hands, and he deliberately ordered someone to create a short lance specially used for foot combat!
It's called a short lance, but it's not short at all, and it's about two and a half meters long if you convert it to a unit of measurement in later generations!
"Let the horses come!" Li Hu beckoned to Tai Shi Ci.
Extreme self-confidence, Li Hu did not hesitate to give up the first move!
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
In the face of the famous Li Hu, Tai Shici didn't dare to hold it up, shouted loudly, carried the double halberd, and attacked Li Hu!
The two of you come and go, fight to the forty rendezvous, Li Hu made a powerful sweep of thousands of troops, Tai Shi Ci was difficult to parry, the iron halberd in his right hand came out, Li Hu took advantage of the situation to step forward, at Tai Shi Ci's chest, made a heart-warming kick, Tai Shi Ci was kicked to the ground, and finally defeated by Li Hu!
