Chapter 16: Not Holding a Sword in Your Hand (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Subscribing)
Wang Maozhong is not a reckless man, on the contrary, he is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, and he is clever and cunning enough, but he is too inflated, pampered and coquettish. As a Goguryeo and Li Longji's domestic slave, www.biquge.info how can his ability be average if he climbed from a lowly subordinate to the high position of General Longwu today?
It's just that Wang Maozhong is full of ambition and is not willing to be a small general Longwu, he wants to be a general, and he also wants a knighthood, wants to be a general, and becomes famous, all of which require a lot of merit to be satisfied. At the same time, he knows very well what he is capable of, it is okay to make a small fight in the forbidden army circle, but if he really wants to go to the battlefield, he will fight against the brave and cunning Turks and Tibetans, and he does not have the courage yet. Therefore, he hugged Li Longji's thighs wholeheartedly, did his best for him, and did not miss any opportunity to show his meritorious service.
In this mutiny, the biggest variable was the Yulin Army controlled by Chang Yuankai and Li Ci. Although the Nanya Forbidden Army is also in the hands of Princess Taiping, the Nanya Forbidden Army is not easy to mobilize. It is necessary to write down an official document on the transfer of troops with the great seal of the prime minister, and after the confirmation of the general, the general of the sixteenth guard will be promoted to gather troops, and the soldiers under his jurisdiction can act, and if he is not prepared in advance, it is impossible to gather the troops in a short time and enter the inner palace of the imperial city. The Yulin Army is different, the Yulin Army is responsible for the safety of the palace, and it is stationed near the Xuanwu Gate of the Inner Palace, as long as the commander gives an order, the army can be moved. Controlling the Yulin Army has become an imperative step, if you want to control the Yulin Army, kill Chang Yuankai and Li Ci first. This is also the biggest credit of the participants from the dragon work, except for Li Chengqi, Li Chengyi, Li Longfan, Li Longye and planners like Guo Yuanzhen, and it is also the easiest to obtain in Wang Maozhong's opinion.
The interests are moving, how can Wang Maozhong be willing to let this great achievement fall into the hands of others, and his 300 soldiers become the wedding clothes of others?
Not only Wang Maozhong, but also his subordinates were dissatisfied. After all, Wang Maozhong eats meat, and they can drink soup, but once Wang Maozhong drinks soup, where is their share?
Wang Maozhong and his subordinates figured out how to squeeze Pei Min, an outsider, down.
Wang Maozhong knows Li Longji, Li Longji is very realistic and likes to act recklessly, when he is good to you, he will put his heart into you, and everything will depend on you. If you turn bad in his impression, he will see your strengths as weaknesses, and the shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.
Wang Maozhong knew that Li Longji trusted him very much, and he also believed that Li Longji's favor for him far exceeded that of Pei Min, and if he exceeded his authority a little, it would not have a great impact, as long as he did his job well and successfully solved Chang Yuankai and Li Ci, everything would not be a problem.
Pampered and coquettish, nothing more than that!
So there was a scene where his subordinates were dissatisfied and unconvinced...... This dissatisfaction is indeed there, but without Wang Mao Zhong's connivance, his subordinates would not dare to stand out in front of Li Longji.
Pei Min's words made Li Longji, Li Longfan, Li Longye and others stunned, they had only heard of Pei Min's swordsmanship, and they had not really seen his strength, but Wang Maozhong's ability was obvious to them, his identity as a Longwu general did not have any water, and the three moves should not be exaggerated.
Wang Maozhong is good at opportunism, Pei Min's "wild words" for him, not only did he feel that he was underestimated, but took the first step to think that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to drive away Pei Min, and said without hesitation: "Then let me see Pei Gongzi's swordsmanship." ”
Both sides of the fight agreed, and Li Longji also knew that instead of wasting time with persuasion, it was better to follow their wishes, and it happened that he was not very confident about Pei Min in his heart, so he could take this opportunity to see: what is the shocking swordsmanship in Guo Yuanzhen's mouth.
Wang Maozhong pulled out the sword out of the sheath, his knife is a unique knife of Goguryeo, bent than the Tang knife but straighter than the Japanese knife, a bit different: "Draw the sword!" ”
Pei Min smiled: "No need, it's all for Your Majesty, it's really unnecessary to hurt the peace." ”
Wang Maozhong's eyes finally appeared angry, he was also a general of Longwu, so that a junior looked down on him twice in a row, where is there still face, shouted, the scimitar in his hand flew, the previous knife, the next two knives, the right two knives, and the left knife slashed towards Pei Min, others looked strong, but the knife technique was brisk all the way, and six knives were chopped out in one breath, and the knife was cut hard, which seemed to be out of order, but the characteristics of the scimitar were brought into full play.
But where can he compare to Pei Min's briskness, taking a step to the left and a step back to the right, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll, he avoided him.
Wang Maozhong stabbed six times in a row, and he didn't even touch the corner of Pei Min's clothes, and said angrily: "Don't run if you have the ability!" ”
Pei Min squinted and smiled: "If you don't run, you won't run!" ”
When Wang Maozhong was speaking, he had already slashed out, and as soon as he ran away, the blade was already approaching Pei Min.
And when Pei Min spoke, he was ready to fight back, held the sword body and put the tail of the scabbard on the back of the knife, and added a little more strength to his strength. Wang Maozhong's expression changed greatly, and the knife slashed at Pei Min's body uncontrollably, and when everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, Pei Min's body leaned backwards and showed a right angle backwards, avoiding the knife.
Wang Maozhong just wanted to relax, but found that his hand was still uncontrollable, and he slashed into the air with the force exerted by Pei Min's hand. He wanted to draw the knife but it was too late, Pei Min's wrist flicked, and the Qin Emperor's sword came out of its sheath, half of it was hidden in the scabbard, but the other half was already on his shoulder.
Wang Maozhong felt the cold air coming from the sword body, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Don't say three moves, you haven't made any moves, and you've already lost.
Pei Min shook his wrist again, and the sword returned to its sheath, and he didn't even hold the hilt of the sword from beginning to end.
Swallowing his saliva, Wang Maozhong's expression turned pale, and he sighed: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, Wang Maozhong's skills are not as good as others, and he has nothing to say." ”
Pei Min smiled and said, "General Wang's knife technique is fast, but it is really because of the inconvenience of wearing armor. More or less, he still saved face for Wang Maozhong.
Li Longji, Li Longfan, Li Longye and others looked at each other, and Pei Min would not surprise them by winning Wang Maozhong. Although Pei Min is young, his bearing is not like a person who talks big, and he must rely on it. It's just that I didn't expect him to win in this way that was almost a slap in the face, which really made the loss ugly.
Li Longji looked at Pei Min with burning eyes, thinking about Wang Maozhong's character, but he smiled understandingly, and his heart unexpectedly settled down a lot: "With Pei Min here, at least if you encounter something unexpected, you can have a person to discuss." ”
For Wang Maozhong, he was a little disgusted in his heart: Wang Maozhong was very popular with him in the past, and gradually entrusted him with important tasks and asked him to win over Wanqi. It's just that his personality is too easily inflated. Give him a few colors to open a dyeing room, the same is true of the last Tang Long coup, when it was critical, Wang Maozhong dropped the chain and "avoided it", and made an appointment to enter the palace together, but he disappeared for three days before he appeared. The good thing is that there are no bad things. Thinking of his merits, he didn't punish him, and still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, this time he relied on the soldiers to make trouble again?
Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Pei Min's swordsmanship has already been seen, and I believe that no one will be unconvinced. Everything is going according to plan, who dares to break the good things at the critical moment, the fourth brother and the fifth brother, there is no need to be polite, and they will not be spared. ”
Wang Maozhong shuddered, and also realized that he had gotten rid of it, and his face was as pale as paper.
Li Longji said: "Arriving at the Northern Army is the most critical step, and there is no room for error. Of course, there are big and small credits, but as long as you do things for me, I will never treat them badly. ”
When Wang Maozhong heard this, his face looked much better, he was already shocked by Pei Min's amazing swordsmanship, and then Li Longji had a set of radish sticks, and he didn't dare to think anything in his heart. As for the deputies behind him, they were so frightened that they couldn't say a word.
This matter did not delay much time, Li Longji led Li Longfan and Li Longye to the apse together: the front door of the Wude Hall was against the Changle Gate, and the guards there were the henchmen of Princess Taiping, and it was too dangerous to go around the Lingyan Pavilion from the front door. They took a shortcut through the back door and led directly to the Lingyan Pavilion. Lingyan Pavilion is a high pavilion painted with the image of meritorious heroes built in the Tang Dynasty to commend meritorious heroes, and no one usually stays there, even if the soldiers patrol very rarely patrol, it is very safe.
In terms of details, Li Longji could have thought about it in advance.
The backyard of the Wude Hall is where the female dependents live, and there is only one man in Pingsuri, the eunuch and Li Longji.
Pei Min, Wang Maozhong and others are all looking at their noses and noses, and they don't dare to look around.
Li Longfan and Li Longye have no scruples at all, the relationship between their brothers is indeed harmonious, and they have always had no scruples when they speak.
Li Longye is the youngest, and he is the best to play, looking left and right, he shook his head and said: "Third brother, your backyard is much worse than my palace, and it is not in line with the identity of the Son of Heaven at all." If you don't have to pay for it, I will renovate it for you. ”
Li Longji shook his head and said: "Now that the situation in the court is unstable, the army and the horse government are strong, that one does not cost trillions, anyway, there are not many people in my palace, and it is a little bit that can be saved, and there is no need to break the bank." If you have the heart to throw some money and things into the treasury, the third brother is not too little. ”
Pei Min listened with some emotion in the back, why did Li Longji, who had saved so far, be extravagant and extravagant later? Is it really in response to that sentence, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift?
Li Longfan smiled: "Third brother, as soon as you say this, won't you block the mouth of the fifth brother?" ”
Li Longji thought about Li Longye's temperament and said with a smile: "It turns out that there is something else, let's say, what do you like about the third brother, Junma is still the palace maid in the palace?" ”
Li Longye's face turned red.
Pei Min, Wang Maozhong and others couldn't cry or laugh, at this juncture, their brothers could still talk and laugh. didn't know that this was their brother's magic method to relieve pressure: in Wu Zetian's solitary confinement career, the more difficult they were, the more they would laugh at each other and face each other happily. So I survived the difficulties and survived to this day.
Li Longfan said: "Not long ago, the fifth brother also told me that there is a palace maid in your palace who is proficient in medical skills, and she looks like a water!" It's the ...... that prepared the red arrow powder for you."
