Chapter 185: Heart Knot

Strongman! Fierce man!

This is Xiao Cheng's most direct evaluation of Peng Shihui, for the sudden appearance of this bull, Xiao Cheng suddenly understood, now he is the only one here who can chat with Hongyi so presumptuously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

On the same day, he was the son of Peng Shichou, the new barbarian king of Chuxi, and later Peng Shichou died because he married Ma Xifan's sister of the Ma family, and this Ma Xifan succeeded by the Ma family was not a thing, Peng Shichou actually led the barbarians to rebel against the Chu regime.

In the end, although Peng Shichou was defeated and retreated, the Chu Di Ma family also had no way to take Peng Shichou, and Peng Shihui signed a world alliance on behalf of the barbarians and the Ma family. In the years after the reconciliation again, Peng Shihui often lived in Tanzhou as the commander of the strong crossbow, and also led the history of Chenzhou assassination from afar, and ruled the barbarians in western Chu.

Later, the sons of the Ma family were in civil strife, and Peng Shihui, who had always been friendly with Ma Xicao, followed the southern expedition and the northern war all the way, overthrowing Ma Xiguang, the nominal king of Chu. Because he became an officer and soldier, he followed Ma Xicao and was imprisoned in Hengshan, and he supported Ma Xicao as the king of Hengshan in Hengzhou. In the end, although Bian Hao conquered the entire territory of Chu, he also moved into the Tang State with Ma Xixu, but he was also treated with the grand courtesy of the Tang State.

In the era when all the horses in Chu were competing for the trough, he could be said to be a well-deserved God of War in Chu.

Even if he was later moved into Jinling by the Tang State, even if the Tang forces withdrew from Chu, and finally Chu was occupied by the warlord Zhou Xingfeng. But he has always been the leader of the barbarians in Chuxi, and nominally belongs to the leadership of Peng Shihui. Of course, no one dared to touch the Peng family, and even the Central Plains Imperial Court enshrined the Chuxi Peng family, and the reason for this was because of the unattractive figure in front of him!

Cow man!

Li Hongyi was very grateful in his heart, he didn't expect Peng Shihui to take the initiative to talk to him. Others don't know the reason, but Li Hongyi himself understands, because after Peng Shiwei entered the court with the Ma family that year, his father heard that he was loyal and brave, and promoted him to the direct commander of the palace.

I met him that year and worshipped him as a boxing and foot master, but few people knew about it. Because there was an imperial brother in the court back then, and he was just a prince, a group of civil ministers and military generals in the court took turns to teach the imperial brother. Although these princes usually have Professor Wang Fu, where can those people teach themselves anything.

After being fortunate enough to get acquainted with Peng Shiwei, I found that this unattractive man was a genius. Not only does he have a combat power that is not weaker than the Tang God of War Bian Hao, but he is also a very strategic handsome talent. Li Hongyi knew that he had found a good master, but unfortunately Peng Shiwei had just entered the court at that time, and although his father valued him, he did not promote him to the prince.

Now that I think about it, Li Hongyi understands more clearly that there were many people who were jealous of Peng Shiwei's talent at that time. I secretly followed him to learn art, but my father knew and acquiesced. He didn't treat himself particularly well when he was a professor because he was a prince.

The commander of his southern and northern wars over the years was the result of learning from him that year. Although the time is not too long, he has learned the real bull boxing across the mountain and their Peng family's ancestral demon spear. This kind of domineering foreign kung fu can be said to have made many miraculous achievements in leading the army to fight in the following years.

But all this seems to have nothing to do with me now!

I'm just a waste now! Although he still has a royal jade, he is already an inconsequential concubine!

However, I still have to be grateful to my master, although he has been transferred from a military general to a civil servant by his father, he is still as close to himself as before, and he has not avoided his vision because of others. I didn't get close to myself because I was a concubine. Maybe it's because he became a civil servant that he is so unscrupulous!

Li Hongyi sighed slightly in his heart, and the silk and bamboo palace music in his ears seemed to be laughing at his failure. The crowd of people who come and go talking and laughing is like a marquee in front of them, but it is so strange and vague.

Others say that it is because the Tang State has been suppressed by the Central Plains Zhou State and has lowered the national system. Being deposed by his father is just a trivial matter for the princes' families. Li Hongyi's heart is full of unwillingness, not to mention that there is still a natural danger of the Yangtze River, even the more than 30 states that are still in hand now are enough to resist the presumptuousness of the Zhou State!

Father, Father! Where did all your ambitions go? Why do you think that when your close ministers say it, you think it is right, but when your son says it, it is a great rebellion?

Li Hongyi was a little confused in his heart, and Peng Shihui's whisper suddenly came from his ears: "Master Gongzi, do you know that Taoist chief over there!" Li Hongyi came back to his senses, but it was Peng Shihui who saw someone looking at him and asked him.

looked over, but saw a young man Xiu really standing there with his hands in his hands, looking at him as if he was intentional, with a pair of clear eyes slightly focused, polite and unassuming.

Although he didn't know this person, Li Hongyi still recognized it at a glance, he was Xiao Cheng who had just entered the Daming Palace with Mr. Geng. If they met in normal times, Li Hongyi would have wondered how this Xiuzhen could be so rude, and now it doesn't matter to him.

Peng Shihui naturally saw Xiao Cheng as well, and suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, and a stream of light seemed to shoot out of that look, about to penetrate Xiao Cheng's entire person. Although he didn't care what others thought of his contact with Li Hongyi, he still had some doubts and caution in his heart when he was observed by others.

Today's emperor Li Jing is no longer the emperor when he entered the court! Externally, he already claims to be the lord of the vassal state, so he is still extremely afraid of the subordinates around him. He has received Li Jing's edict and weight, but he also accepted the edict of the Central Plains Zhou Kingdom, which is an outlier here, and he has to guard against some people's intentions.

Only four or five meters away, Xiao Cheng felt that his whole body was tight, as if he was bound by something. Xiao Cheng's current skills are still only limited to being stronger than ordinary soldiers, and it is because he received special training that day, compared with the masters on the rivers and lakes, there is still a lot of gap.

Although Peng Shiwei is not a master on the rivers and lakes, his natural divine power and ancestral fists and feet are considered to be the top players among the generals of various countries. What's more, there have been countless killings in the southern and northern wars in his life, and the murderous aura exuded by his body is difficult for many people to resist. Looking at Peng Shiwei's sharp eyes, Xiao Cheng felt that his back was actually sweating, and the surprise in his heart was still flourishing when he saw his master Feng Biwei for the first time.

Although he had no weapon in his hand, he did not look at himself angrily. But in the face of his piercing eyes, Xiao Cheng felt that his whole person was like a sharp sword, which would penetrate him at any time.

What a strong murderous aura!

This is the palace inside, and Xiao Cheng expected that Peng Shihui would not have an attack easily. The peripheral eyes looked at the people around him, but no one seemed to feel Peng Shihui's strangeness. The surprise in Xiao Cheng's heart was even stronger, could it be that just because he looked at him, he actually targeted me alone?

At this moment, Xiao Cheng was a little afraid in his heart, feeling that he was indeed a little risky and abrupt. I was thinking about the current gains and losses for a while, but I found that how I reacted might be wrong. So I must be thinking about what the five ghosts are afraid of in my heart!

When he looked at Peng Shiwei again, sure enough, his eyes had become indifferent to him, as if the person just now was not him, and nothing had happened at all. The sharp eyes and strong qi just now didn't seem to be emanating from him at all, causing huge pressure on himself, and it wasn't him.

Thinking of the power of his master Feng Biwei, not to mention that the head of the Xiaoyao faction was in the Daming Palace at this moment, Xiao Cheng's courage became a little stronger. Nodding slightly at Peng Shihui and Li Hongyi, he signaled that he had no guilt and no contention in his heart.

Walking a few steps forward, a distance of three meters, he arched his hand and said: "Xiuzhen Xiao Cheng has seen Master Peng and Li Gongzi!" ā€

The surprise in Peng Shihui's eyes flashed, he naturally saw that Xiao Cheng had come to Daming Palace with Mr. Geng just now, and he couldn't figure out the intentions of Xiao Cheng or the Loose Sect for a while. Turning his head to look at the palace and cheering continuously, it must have been an official who made a good word again, and everyone was enthusiastic and responsive.

"The great name of the long-ago Xiaoyao faction, Xiao Daochang must be cultivating in the Jinling Xiaoyao Palace! A certain family has time to visit! Peng Shixuan's voice was faint, but Li Hongyi, who was standing next to him, did not squeak, because he obviously didn't know how to answer Xiao Cheng.

Mr. Geng practiced in the palace, and he was the most trusted cultivator of Emperor Li Jing. Especially in the palace and outside the palace, it is rumored that she and the emperor have a son, Xiao Cheng is Mr. Geng's younger brother, when he can't figure out Xiao Cheng's intentions, as Li Hongyi, who has just been abandoned, where dare to talk to Xiao Cheng.

"Xiaodao has long admired the prestige of Lord Peng, because the cultivation day is short, and it is inevitable that the world's heart is still heavy. Because I heard that adults are well versed in bull boxing and demon guns across the mountain, Xiaodao also likes martial arts, and hopes to have the opportunity to learn from adults! Xiao Cheng politely bowed his hand again.

He didn't know how to answer Peng Shihui, but suddenly Geng Xiansheng's reply sounded in his ears, making him close to Peng Shihui. Although Xiao Cheng didn't know Geng Xiansheng's intentions, he thought that his current position and he could talk to these two people, something that he didn't dare to think about before, so he communicated with Peng Shihui according to Geng Xiansheng's voice.

Others did not interfere, but Xiao Cheng invited Peng Shihui to have time to sit in the Xiaoyao Palace according to Geng Xiansheng's transmission, after all, Peng Shihui is a rare cattle man in the Tang Kingdom, and he usually does not form a gang to stand in line. It would be a great thing if the Loose Sect could get Peng Shihui's support.

Of course, after seeing Peng Shihui's polite words, he seemed to be a little indifferent to his invitation and enthusiasm, and Xiao Cheng naturally understood the truth that abnormality is a demon. So he inadvertently revealed that he was a disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Carefree Sect. Sure enough, Peng Shihui was a little moved, Elder Taishang was in that gang, and he was able to influence the head of the sect.

He didn't become enthusiastic right away, but he answered a few words with Xiao Cheng in the chat. Seeing that Xiao Cheng didn't talk to Li Hongyi, his face gradually softened a lot, and he also took the initiative to mention Li Hongyi beside him to Xiao Cheng.

Li Hongyi didn't squeak all the time, watching the two of them talk, just listening. The two of them also talked from Taoism to Buddhism, and from Buddhism to ranger swordsmen on the rivers and lakes. Because when he heard Master Mu Ping mentioned in Peng Shiwei's words, his eyes seemed to light up.

Xiao Cheng heard Peng Shiwei say that Master Mu Ping was going to preach, and thought that his master had mentioned that he would take him to Master Mu Ping, although he did not explain the reason to himself, but she was said to have gone there in the evening. Hearing his uncle Su Hou mention that he seemed to have something to do with Bian Hao, and he was going to go over tomorrow, he invited Peng Shiwei to go with him.

Xiao Cheng also mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Peng Shiwei to readily agree, and asked Li Hongyi if he wanted to go with him. Although I didn't know what Li Hongyi was thinking, I also saw that he nodded in response.

Because tomorrow is a rest and no morning court, so Li Jing will feast on guests tonight. Peng Shihui and Xiao Cheng agreed to meet tomorrow, so they put the topic aside. However, what the two of them said was irrelevant, because Geng Xiansheng seemed to be about to end it.

The two of them were chatting and gradually getting used to each other, although there was only one listener next to Li Hongyi, even if some guards looked over from time to time, they didn't dare to come close to listen to what the three of them said together. Look at the night banquet here is finally coming to an end, but because Emperor Li Jing is tired, he is about to disperse.

Geng Xiansheng naturally wanted to stay in the palace, because although the palace of the Xiaoyao faction in Jinling was a Xiaoyao Palace, she had Li Jing's palace in the palace. Chuanyin instructed Xiao to take a ride outside the palace gate, and a disciple from Xiaoyao sent him to pick him up.

Although Xiao Cheng entered the palace for the first time, he was not familiar with Jinling City, but he knew that someone would pick him up, so he was naturally not worried. Seeing that Peng Shihui and Li Hongyi said goodbye to the palace, it was not easy to follow Peng Shihui, so he had to politely say goodbye to the two of them.

What Xiao Cheng didn't expect was that Li Hongyi hadn't spoken to himself, even when he was separated, when he saw himself saluting, he just looked at him and knew it. After Peng Shihui and Xiao Cheng walked out with the people who came out of Daming Palace, Li Hongyi glanced at the brightly lit hall of Daming Palace a few times, and turned around and didn't know where to go.

The night is actually slightly cool!

There seems to be a chill in the air at such a season, which is truly surprising.

The palace lamp stretches the figure very long, this is a side road out of the palace, and it is usually passed by the palace handymen.

Li Hongyi walked out of the Daming Palace, but he couldn't walk around, because there was a guard and a eunuch waiting for him at the palace gate. After the father abolished himself, although he did not restrict his usual actions, he obviously did not communicate with himself.

Whatever the reason, Li Hongyi naturally hopes to go back to the past. Although the Tang Kingdom is now demoted to a prince, even the father and the emperor are only called the lord of the country to the outside world, and the successor is at most a grandfather, but the world is impermanent, who knows what will happen in the future!

At least in the Tang Kingdom, the ruler of the feudal town was still the emperor. Li Hongyi is not only nostalgic for the identity of the prince, but has the advantage of this identity, and he can raise his arms and shout to unify the world!

But now no matter where he goes, he is accompanied by people sent by the palace to accompany him, which is a simple road, and he has no right to walk with everyone because of his status as a commoner.

The little Taoist cultivator who has no identity is stronger than he can be with the officials. When he thought of this, Li Hongyi's face was a little pale, he walked very slowly all the way, and his fingers were clenched tightly together and a little pale.

The night breeze blew on the face, and it seemed that another trace of dampness crossed the face. Although he walked very slowly, Li Hongyi did not stop.

I don't know how the weather has changed, looking at the sky illuminated by the palace lights, it is like a huge black hole, and the depths of the darkness seem to be a huge mouth that can devour everything.

Sure enough, the wind rose!

Li Hongyi walked on the small side road next to the palace in the palace, he no longer had the identity to leave the palace gate from the main road, although the emperor did not prohibit his freedom, but the accompanying guards and eunuchs did not dare to take him away. I was able to enter the Daming Palace at night because the emperor had not issued a ban.

When he was about to arrive in front of the palace gate, he found that these well-fed officials, big and small, and those guests of the emperor, walked slower than the three of them. Li Hongyi stopped, watching the crowd slowly come over, but his eyes seemed to feel that everything was a little strange.

Standing by the palace gate and looking at the large and small positions, people wearing colorful official robes walked out of the palace crookedly one after another. Li Hongyi shrank his body in the shadow of the side door, and he didn't know whether it was pain or confusion in his eyes.

He seems to be waiting for someone!

A person who has been in awe of himself since childhood!

However, until no more officials came out and the forbidden army needed to close the palace gate, he still didn't see the person he wanted to see.

If it weren't for the fact that the palace forbidden army basically knew Li Hongyi, someone would have already come to drive a few people away. Not to mention that Li Hongyi's current identity is a concubine, he is a prince with status, standing here at the palace gate for no reason, and the forbidden army on duty can also not give face.

Just when the patience of the commander on duty was about to run out, he heard Li Hongyi sigh slightly, looking at the brightly lit palace, it seemed that he had endless nostalgia, and slowly turned around and walked out. Although he also glanced back, he never looked back, and his figure staggered and disappeared into the night.

The rain falling from the sky became more and more intensive.

A woman in palace clothes carried a tung oil paper umbrella and leaned forward slightly to shelter a man next to her from the rain. In the palace fold, the man quietly watched the lonely figure leave, and the slowly closing palace door annihilated the figure.

Under the illumination of the palace lamp, half of this man's face was clearly revealed, it was not the protagonist who had just been in the Daming Palace, the prince of Anding County who returned from an envoy in Lingnan. Looking at the closed palace gate, he was a little more confused in his eyes, turned his head to look at the woman with an umbrella beside him, and sighed softly.

The figures of the two people finally disappeared into the shadow of the palace lantern.

Li Hongyi quietly looked ahead, in this small courtyard, it seemed that a pair of eager eyes were yearning for the outside world.

The walls of the palace were deep, and his eyes seemed to be confused. It had been more than two hours since he returned from the palace, and he had not rested.

It seemed that there was a beautiful scenery in front of him, attracting his attention, and he was fascinated by it. In fact, there was only a light rain in front of him, and the high wall and deep courtyard looked like a soil frog trapped at the bottom of a well.

The rain fluttered and spilled disorderly from the air. It is like a greedy child, sprinkled on this person with recklessness. Wet his hair seeped through his clothes, and the rain flowed down his bearded robe, slowly forming a trickle in the deep courtyard where he stood, but he didn't seem to feel anything.

He had been standing here for more than two hours, and several of the attendants around him were standing far away, and they were all standing in the rain. Li Hongyi just let the rain pour through, where did they dare to take shelter from the rain under the eaves of the steps on the side.

Even though Li Hongyi was already deposed, the emperor did not give further instructions and arrangements, even the Li family's clan did not come to interfere. This is the palace before Li Hongyi was canonized, and now it has become Li Hongyi's temporary accommodation.

But looking at Li Hongyi's confused eyes, although the attendants were all anxious and panicked, they didn't dare to come over at all.

These are all close attendants who have followed Li Hongyi for a long time, and there are eunuchs and palace ladies who have followed out of the East Palace. As for the guards who guarded the safety, they didn't dare to enter this small courtyard at all. It's not that I'm afraid of Li Hongyi's irritable temper, since he was deposed by the emperor's order, Li Hongyi has calmed down, but I'm afraid of seeing Li Hongyi's distracted eyes.

Losing his temper can't solve the problem, Li Hongyi is no longer a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, not only experienced the usurpation of the Li family instead of Yang Wu, but also experienced the struggle for power from his father and emperor. He also led his troops out of the domain to become a feudal town, and he personally commanded the army to conquer the neighboring Wu Yue Kingdom, and now Li Hongyi has matured.

Being under house arrest in this small courtyard at the moment, Li Hongyi understood one thing.

As the supreme ruler of the Tang State, he is no different from the rulers of all dynasties in history. If it weren't for the emperor's words, who would dare to do anything to himself! If it weren't for the emperor's decree that he was under house arrest here, who would dare to do this?

It's not that Li Hongyi doesn't want to rest, but Li Hongyi wants to find the slightest incomprehension in his heart. I deliberately didn't let people come over, I just wanted to be quiet, and I wanted to take a good look at my thoughts in the near future.

From his own departure from the feudal region to the position of the crown prince, although he has experienced the replacement of the emperor's uncle, it can be said that there is no danger. Now that he has been abolished in the deep courtyard, Li Hongyi has faintly captured something!

All rights come from the emperor! Knowing all this is just a sentence.

With this little rain that didn't make any sense of lessness, he wanted to sober himself up.

The summer rain is not cool, and it even makes people feel comfortable, unlike the coolness of last night, the rain in the morning is a little warmer. But Li Hongyi doesn't seem to feel anything, because the people in the rain are confused, just because people's hearts are cold!

From the moment the emperor's ancestor Kao Li Yu accepted Yang Wu Chan's concession, the Li family set a rule, and the eldest son inherited the throne of the previous dynasties. But I don't know why, at the moment when the emperor returned to heaven, the ancestor of the Li family became a brother and a brother.

No dynasty will think that it will perish in one lifetime, so after establishing a solid foundation, it will think about its own future generations.

What's more, as a powerful Li family dynasty, he thinks that he is a descendant of the Tang Dynasty and a hero of the emperor.

To be a hero who conquers the world, Li Hongyi has always thought so. Huangzu was a hero and finally won the world of the Yang family, which was easier than the previous dynasty to seize the world of the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty.

And his father is both civil and military, from the time he was sensible, he saw his excellence, Wen Taowu did not think about him in the world, first conquered the entire territory of Fujian, and then swept all over the world. can really be said to be worthy of the hero in his heart, so Li Hongyi has always regarded his father as a hero in his heart.

The son imitates Lao Tzu, which is naturally justified. Li Hongyi never thought that there was anything wrong with this, after all, not all of this world was under the management of the Li family, and Li Hongyi was never in a hurry, because he still had a lot of opportunities to conquer the whole world.

So I never thought that what I did was incorrect, as long as I was in power one day, I would ride my horse and whip the Central Plains, personally wield the army to fight in the south and the north, so that history would remember me and let the world remember me!

As the eldest son of the Li family, Li Hongyi has received a comprehensive education since he was a child. So he knows his father, and he thinks he knows his father better than anyone else. Therefore, when there is a knot in his father's heart, he has to remove the knot in his father's heart!

Li Hongyi did it! At the height of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hongyi knew that his father wanted to sit firmly in the country, but when the Central Plains invaded, Li Hongyi knew that his father was worried about his status. Therefore, Li Hongyi personally killed his imperial uncle Li Jingsui and removed the biggest threat for his father!

Standing there, Li Hongyi did not change in the slightest, but his heart was like boiling water, what is the most painful thing in people's hearts?

It's not that you didn't succeed in your efforts, but when you put in the effort, you find that what you have paid is completely superfluous!

If you don't make a move, someone will also make a move, because my father can't give up the power in his hands and the throne under him!

Even at the expense of ceding the states, in exchange for temporary tranquility!
