Chapter II. 276

Li Deng has been the prime minister for 20 years, benefiting all corners of Youbei Third Road, and his methods are also varied; But he himself believes that most of these 'achievements' are useless work like 'digging holes and filling in the holes'. Strictly speaking, he Li Deng has only done one thing in the past 20 years - etc.

Li Deng, who had just ascended to the stage and was ambitious, soon ran into a nose in front of his own family on Dongyou Road. When his ambitions could not be fulfilled and the scene was at an impasse, Li Deng found a person who was also a teacher and a friend and asked him for advice. And the final reply was the word 'wait'. Although Li Deng did not know when he would have to wait for the end of the day, he was willing to believe this seemingly perfunctory answer. Even if the man's soul was gone to the west not long after; However, Li Deng still 'stubbornly' followed the word 'waiting' and survived more than 7,000 days and months.

The master who gave Li Deng this 'waiting word formula' was called 'Li Xuanyu'; after hearing that Shen Gui was born, Li Deng also thoroughly understood the subtleties of this 'waiting word formula'.

Lee Deng came from a family of businessmen, and since he was a mother, he has been a staunch atheist. But his romantic experience of traveling the world also helped him meet many strange people from all over the country. Some of these people are just charlatans who are good at tricks, and there are also celestial spirit veins who only exist in ancient legends.

It was those Heavenly Spirit Veiners who had transcended the shackles of mortals who began to make Li Deng, a staunch supporter of 'atheism,' gradually accept those mysterious and nihilistic 'mystical theories'.

The biggest difference between the Heavenly Spirit Vein and the Jianghu Warlock is that in addition to the blessings of 'divine power' that are beyond reality, the Heavenly Spirit Vein still has the foresight and wisdom that is above the times; And without the 'blessing of divine power', the charlatans have become extremely ordinary people in the market.

This great shaman of shamanism, Li Xuanyu, is obviously not a 'divine stick' in the ordinary mouth, let alone a heavenly spirit vein in the general sense. This great shaman, whose facial features are slightly cold and whose body is a little rickety, is called a 'living dictionary of religion', and he has added all the mystical doctrines in the world to his body. To put it bluntly, this great shaman is not only a believer, but also a miscellaneous person, as long as he can name the 'side door', there is no great shaman who cannot play: astrological divination, interpretation of Confucianism, medical Gu poison needles, flowers, plants, animals, stones, and so on...... In this world, the avenue is three hundred and six, and the small path is racing cow hair, but she Li Xuanyu can achieve the realm of heaven and man who is all incomprehensible and refined, which is no longer within the scope of the ability of the heavenly spirit vein.

For example, Liu Banxian, the 'hobby' is to tell fortunes, and whether it is accurate or not still depends on two words - a 'bluff' and a 'Meng'.

And Shen Gui, the 'young master cousin' of the Guo family, is the 'half-immortal body' like Li Xuanyu, a seed planted for him Li Deng, and also for Youbei Sanlu; As soon as the spring flowers bloom and the day the ground breaks and sprouts, it will usher in the emergence of the alternation of the sun and the moon and the renewal of Vientiane.

With Li Deng's extraordinary understanding, he naturally would not do stupid things that were fueled by seedlings. During the twenty years he was waiting for the 'seed' to break the ground, he laid down one 'chess piece' after another while allowing it to 'grow wildly'. As the saying goes, it is up to people to plan things and things to succeed in heaven, and no matter how miraculous Shen Gui is, it is impossible for Li Deng to pin all his hopes on one person.

Twenty years passed in a flick of a finger. And Shen Gui, the 'chosen son' with a heavy responsibility, has also grown into a handsome and extraordinary young man under the silent care of these old-timers. It's a pity that until today, apart from his extraordinary understanding and strange temper, he has never shown any 'heavenly power'.

But even so, Li Deng also saw with his own eyes what kind of fruit Li Xuanyu's 'waiting word formula' bore fruit.

It is foreseeable that those 'frogs at the bottom of the well' in the Great Wilderness City are definitely not the opponents of Shen Gui's scourge. If you add the 'heaven and earth net' that you laid in advance, presumably those rabble of the Li family can't even make any waves.

In his life, Li Deng actually accepted two disciples. One is Wan Changning, who was born in a poor family, and is always taken by his side; And the other is Li Zilin, an orphan in the clan, who was also placed in the Great Wilderness City in advance by himself

These two disciples have different personalities and temperaments, and in line with the principle of teaching students according to their aptitude, the skills they have learned are also different.

Wan Changning is delicate, but his temperament is a little stubborn, and he occasionally drills the tip of the horns when doing things. Therefore, Li Deng secretly taught him the "way to break the situation" by means of 'making accounts and checking accounts'. Only a person like him who is delicate and has a little 'obsessive-compulsive disorder' can find out the hidden doubts and mistakes in the deliberately falsified accounts.

Of course, the key to breaking the game is contained in the means of distinguishing between true and false accounts; And Wan Changning's natural stubbornness and carefulness are also the necessary talents to learn this way.

And Li Zilin, who is far away in the Great Wilderness City, and his qualifications are more outstanding than Wan Changning. Not only is he gifted and perceptive, but what is even more rare is that although this son has been bullied by relatives outside the clan since he was a child, he is still extremely broad-minded, kind-hearted and able to stick to the bottom line, act steadily and enterprisingly. Therefore, Li Deng only took him for a few years, and then sent him, a proud protégé, to the Great Wilderness City and made him a bullied prefect of Sipin.

Li Deng's expectations for Li Zilin are actually much higher than those of Wan Changning, who has followed him since childhood. It can also be said that a year after he took Li Zilin under his family, he had already decided on the next head of the family.

To this day, Wei Anheng's worship and surrender seems to be just his choice for someone; However, behind his choice, it also affects the fate of many people.

First of all, Lord Guardan Hengwei is a well-known echo insect and wall grass on Youbei Third Road; Since such a person has foreseen the coming of the catastrophe of killing, then the rest of the adults in the three roads of Youbei will also be 'self-taught' in the near future. It can be said that since the moment Wei Anheng sent people to visit the palace, Yan Tian was destined to completely lose the support of the courtiers.

And the reason why Wei Anheng surrendered to himself must be more difficult to say. According to Li Deng's guess, it should be Wei Anheng who didn't know where to learn that Yan Chongwu received a mourning report, but he was not immediately ordered to return to Beijing for the funeral. There is no need to wonder how Yan Chongwu perfunctory the prince, because actual actions will never lie! Yan Tian, who wants to inherit the emperor's throne, at this moment, is extremely desperate to be supported by the clan who is in charge of the military.

Just relying on the 'minister with two surnames' Zhang Huangling, plus those Taibai Guards who have no combat effectiveness, it is not enough to make Yan Tian's road to succession a smooth road; For example, the two roads of Zhongshan and Dongyou, which have not been stationary and have not entered Beijing to mourn, their soldiers did not participate in the War of the Two Norths, and they do not need to rest and replenish at all, they are all new forces that can be fought by pulling them out.

No matter what the thoughts of the two of them were, how dare Yan Tian, who intended to be the emperor, not to fortify in advance? In the case that the available troops are so stretched, Yan Chongwu, the hottest 'Youbei Military God' in Huayu Continent, did not rush back to Fengjing City alone to mourn. What is Yan Chongwu afraid of? And what is it to prevent? What is the reason for his perfunctory treatment of Yan Day?

If you don't take a stand, sometimes it's the best statement.

In this way, whether it is the court officials, the common people, or even the soldiers of Youbei, their confidence and expectations for Yan Tian have been reduced to an unprecedented freezing point. In addition to Yan Day, he also thinks that he is the 'savior of the three roads in Youbei', in addition to the queen mother Li Lian, he also has the dream of helping his son to the throne with his own hands; The three roads in the north outside the palace wall are already another world.

In recent days, under the 'joint efforts' of those Jianghu people and the students of Sanbei Academy, the prince's insane and vicious methods have already been introduced to the ears of every Fengjing people; And those 'vivid little stories' have also been given wings by the Jianghu people who have traveled south and north, and have flown into every corner of the three roads in Youbei.

In the eyes of the people, the imperial grain is handed over to anyone, so why do you have to hand it over to an unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial beast? No one should be the emperor, and why should he honor a tyrant who killed his father and usurped power, assassinated his siblings, burned his aunt, and poisoned the people?

In Li Deng's view, Yan Tian is already in a state of decay and decay when the building is about to collapse. It's a pity that Yan Tian himself, who was in the midst of the storm, still seemed to have never seen him. To this day, even Li Deng is a little unsure, and he is not sure whether Yan Tian's kid is really stupid, or he has already prepared for it, so he is extremely calm.

Guardan himself is very satisfied with the outcome of this meeting between the two sides. Even if Li Deng and Wan Changning did not reveal any useful information to him; But before leaving, he made a promise to him to 'keep him out'. Guardan Heng has been cautious all his life, and he has never been 100% at ease with anyone; Only this time, he was convinced of Li Deng's personal promise.

is all because Li Deng was born in a family of businessmen, but the most important thing in the family of big businessmen is integrity; No matter what form of assurances Lee Deng makes, judging from his previous code of conduct, there has never been an example of himself going back on his word.

If you want to select the most trustworthy person on the Huayu continent, he Li Deng is definitely qualified to rank among the top three. Moreover, who is he Wei Anheng? What is there about Lee Deng's self-deprecation?

Guardan returned home satisfied. Li Deng personally sent him out of the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to Wan Changning's wing. He carefully looked at this reborn apprentice, touched Wan Changning's head rarely, and said to him in a slightly sad tone:

"If I had known that the price of your transformation would be the loss of your legs, the teacher would rather you have always been the 'strong donkey'......"
