Chapter 396: Honesty

Qi Ning saw Li Hongxin's solemn expression, thought for a while, and then asked: "Lord Wang, the people who killed this person are all court officials, is it a thief who specializes in opposing the court?" ”

Li Hongxin sighed: "Master Hou, I won't tell you, this king has grown up in Chengdu City since he was a child, and he has been in Chengdu City for more than 50 years, but he has never seen this happen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This king doesn't hide it from you, he has offended many people, and to this day, this king also knows that there are many people who want to take the life of this king, so there are still a few masters in this king's palace. ”

"That's as it should be." Qi Ning immediately said: "Don't say that heroes like the prince, even if they are juniors, harmless to humans and animals, there are many people who want to take my life." ”

Li Hongxin bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Qi family and our Li family have both killed people, and it is inevitable that they will be hated. After a pause, he sneered: "But for so many years, this king has come through strong winds and waves, but he was stumped by this throat piercing. The assassin's martial arts are extremely high, and he sneaked into the king's palace, but he didn't know it, if it wasn't for the king going back to the room in the middle of the night, Feiqiong was killed, and no one would have noticed. ”

"Are you sure Feiqiong was killed by the Throat Stabber?"

Li Hongxin nodded and said, "Undoubtedly." The Throat Stabber seems to be worried that others will not recognize him, and every time he strikes, he comes out through his throat. After a pause, he continued: "Several officials were killed in succession, and this king and Lord Wei had a discussion, and they didn't want to panic too much in the city, so they tried their best to block the news, but the people in the city also seemed to get some rumors. Feiqiong was killed this time, if the people in the city knew that the assassins even came and went freely in the Shu Palace, they would inevitably be even more panicked, so this king just asked people to make a little arrangement in the palace and go back and bury them quietly. ”

Qi Ning sighed: "There is such a big event in the prince's mansion, but he still has to go out of the city to greet him, and he even set up a banquet here for the younger generation, the younger generation is really ..... I'm really ashamed! ”

Li Hongxin shook his head and smiled: "That's not what I said. You finally came from the capital, and you are on order, how can this king not receive it? He looked at Wei Shutong and asked, "Lord Wei, are you ready to withdraw your troops over there in Heiyanling?" ”

Wei Shutong immediately said: "The lower officials have ordered them to withdraw from Heiyan Ridge within two days. ”

"After this king learned the news, he has already sent people there." Li Hongxin bowed slightly, and then said to Qi Ning with a smile: "Master Hou, this time in the matter of Heiyanling, this king sent his Jinguan guards to go, I don't know if the court has any objections?" ”

Qi Ning shook his head and smiled: "That's not true." ”

Li Hongxin said with a smile: "This king is now a courtier of Da Chu, and he is living in Chengdu for a long time, in fact, there are some things that don't hurt to turn a blind eye." To tell the truth, this time the king sent troops over, but it was just an attitude, but if he wanted to cause trouble in Xichuan, the king was the first to refuse, but the king did not expect that there was another hidden story behind the Black Rock Cave incident. ”

Qi Ning said: "The prince doesn't know, Bai Tangling was stabbed, and it has nothing to do with the Black Rock Cave, it was done by another traitor, who wants to blame Heiyan Ridge." Fortunately, Bai Tangling escaped death, otherwise we would have wronged a good person. ”

"Not bad, not bad." Li Hongxin immediately said: "This king already knows about this, and after hearing about it, he was also taken aback. He frowned and asked, "Master Wei, Master Hou, according to what you can see, what is the name behind this?" Why would anyone want to blame the Black Rock Cave? ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said: "Things are confusing, and the juniors really don't have any clues." ”

Li Hongxin raised his hand and said, "Come, Master Hou, don't stop the chopsticks, talk while eating." He grabbed a pair of chopsticks, put them down suddenly, and asked, "Master Hou, do you think this matter has anything to do with this king?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ning was slightly surprised in his heart, secretly thinking that this King of Shu was really not taking the usual path, he never thought that he would ask such a question at the dinner table, he was already surprised, and his face was even magnified and exaggerated: "Why did the prince say this?" ”

Li Hongxin put down his chopsticks and said with a faint smile: "Master Hou, I won't tell you anything, since this king returned to Dachu, for so many years, some slanderous words have never been broken. ”

"Slander?" Qi Ning also put down his chopsticks, "What does the prince mean?" ”

"There are always people who say that this king wants to rebel." Li Hongxin said with a smile: "Hasn't Master Hou heard a trace of rumors? ”

Qi Ning's heart tightened slightly, secretly thinking that Li Hongxin was not an extraordinary person, his words and deeds were unexpected, and he couldn't guess the old guy's mind for a while, so he frowned and said: "The prince is self-purifying, do you still care about other people's slanderous words?" ”

Li Hongxin sighed and said, "This king is a martial artist, and he has never liked to beat around the bush. Some people say that this king is the emperor of the soil in Xichuan, and also said that this king returned to Dachu back then, and was forced to be helpless, hehe, Hou Ye, this king told you the truth today, when this king was young and vigorous, the Chu army attacked Xichuan, this king was full of dissatisfaction, and only felt that with his own ability, it was enough to compete with anyone. But the old marquis of brocade clothes used soldiers like a god, and the Chu army was brave and good at fighting, and the king finally surrendered, although it was indeed because he was out of control, but in the final analysis, it was the king who wanted to understand at that time that the king was not as capable as he thought. ”

Qi Ning said: "The prince Wen Taowu is known to the world. ”

"You're saving face for this old face of this king." Li Hongxin waved his hand and said with a smile: "This king knows very well in his heart that compared to the old marquis in brocade, and even Ling Zun, this king is far inferior. Over the years, this king has been thinking deeply, but he also understands that being a carefree prince and being at ease is at ease, why bother fighting and killing, not only does it not benefit him, but also makes the people suffer ......! He smiled bitterly: "Life is a lifetime of grass and autumn, it is really not long, and it can't withstand too much tossing." And this king is already old......! Speaking of this, his expression was gloomy.

There was silence in the elegant hall for a moment, and then Li Hongxin continued: "The Black Rock Cave incident, Bai Tangling was assassinated, guy Black Rock Cave, in the eyes of many people, it is inevitable that someone wants to provoke the Miao rebellion, and then cause the Xichuan rebellion. Master Hou, if I were an ordinary person, who would you guess the first person to suspect? ”

"Please teach the prince!"

Li Hongxin stroked his beard and smiled: "It's none other than this king." Some people have always felt that this king has bad intentions and wants to see the chaos in Xichuan, and then take this opportunity to make a move, hahahaha.......! ”

Qi Ning actually thought like this in his heart, but he really didn't expect Li Hongxin to say it directly, and he was a little stunned in his heart.

"But this king can tell you that this incident has nothing to do with this king." Li Hongxin's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "This king knows that even if he says this to others, not many people will believe it. This king is tired, and now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the people of Xichuan want to live a peaceful life, if this king goes against the will of the people, there will never be a good end. ”

His expression was calm and grim, and Qi Ning secretly thought in his heart, could it be that this incident really had nothing to do with Li Hongxin.

Wei Shutong was silent all the time, and finally said at this time: "Lord Wang, if someone wants to deliberately slander, you don't have to care at all. As long as the court believes in the prince and the emperor believes, nothing else matters. ”

"The king knows." Li Hongxin's expression was still very serious, he thought for a while, and finally said: "This king was born and raised in Xichuan since he was a child, and he is full of affection for this land. For so many years, Xichuan Li Min has recuperated, has plenty of food and clothing, and Lord Wei is also conscientious in Xichuan, and this king and Lord Wei don't talk much on weekdays, but they are very grateful in their hearts. ”

"The prince is serious."

Li Hongxin shook his head and said, "After this king said this today, you may never hear this king speak like this again in the future." I just want to tell you that this king wants to see the stability and peace of Xichuan and doesn't want anyone to destroy it. However, after the king learned that there was another hidden story in the Black Rock Cave incident, he began to worry that there was a force in Xichuan that was preparing to make Xichuan turbulent. ”

"Does the prince see that there is something strange in this?" Qi Ning immediately asked.

Li Hongxin sneered and said, "Someone wants to cause trouble in Xichuan, but this king is the first to refuse." After a pause, he said, "Master Hou has heard of Jizo?" ”

Qi Ning was stunned, but he still said on his face: "The prince said Jizang, but the King of Jizo Bodhisattva?" The younger generation has heard that the king of the earth is the king of the underworld. ”

"Patience is as immovable as the earth, and meditation is hidden as a secret." Li Hongxin said slowly: "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha." King Jizo Bodhisattva could have become a Buddha, but in order to save the dead in the underworld, he voluntarily stayed in the underworld and made a grand wish. ”

Wei Shutong looked a little puzzled, as if he didn't know why Li Hongxin mentioned the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

Qi Ning also smiled and said, "Does the prince like Buddhism?" ”

"This king has really studied Buddhism in the past few years, and as he gets older, he always wants to find something to do." Li Hongxin said with a smile: "It is said that some people say that this king eats fast and recites Buddha, but it is a false rumor, although this king donated a few temples, but he has never eaten fasting. Wine and meat are constantly used every day, and if you can't even eat wine and meat, you simply want the life of this king. ”

All three burst into laughter.

Li Hongxin immediately looked cold, and said: "The Jizo that this king is talking about is not the Jizo King Bodhisattva, but a force. ”

"Forces?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Lord Wang, the juniors you said are a little incomprehensible. ”

Li Hongxin said: "This king also occasionally learned that in the secret place, there is a force that respects Jizang, and it is haunting, so in the past two years, wandering in Xichuan, it seems that there is an ulterior secret." It's just that these people are very cunning, and this king actually secretly sent people to investigate, but nothing was found, but this force does exist in Xichuan, and it does endanger the stability of Xichuan. ”

Wei Shutong frowned and said, "Lord Wang, the lower officials don't know anything about this. ”

Qi Ning thought secretly in his heart, the first emperor sent you to Xichuan to sit in the town, no matter how you say it, you should be a shrewd and capable person, how to do the affairs of Xichuan, I don't know that, I really don't know what this Xichuan Thorn History is for.

However, obedient style, although these two are in Chengdu, they don't seem to have much interaction with each other.

Think about it, Wei Shutong was sent by the imperial court, and an important mission was to monitor Li Hongxin, the king of Shu.

Li Hongxin said: "It is a ghostly ghost, and its whereabouts are strange, it is not strange that Lord Wei does not know, and there are very few people who know the existence of this force." His eyes were like knives, and he said coldly: "This king suspects that the Black Rock Cave incident may have nothing to do with this place." ”
