Chapter 072: Help Me Kill Someone
Two days later, Yan Zhenqing wrote the "Diamond Sutra", left the Bodhi Temple with the rewritten "World Situation Map", left Chang'an, and went to the plain where he was. Before leaving, he made incense in front of the Buddha, and he stayed alone for a long time, and only he knew what he prayed to the Buddha.
In the past two days, Li Zaixing and Yan Zhenqing have had a lot of contact, in addition to discussing the general trend of the world, Li Zaixing learned a lot of knowledge from Yan Zhenqing that he had not been exposed to before, of course, including learning calligraphy from Yan Zhenqing. His calligraphy is simply ugly, and now that he has the opportunity to learn from a master calligrapher, he certainly can't let it go.
When Yan Zhenqing left, Nan Jiyun also left, he spent two days with Li Zaixing to learn from each other, everything that should be said was said, and the rest was practice. In addition to gun boxing, Li Zaixing spent more time practicing archery. Arrows are long-range strike weapons, and their role on the battlefield is no less than marksmanship, so in martial arts, mounted archery has always been synonymous with high martial arts.
Discussing teaching questions with Yan Zhenqing and learning martial arts with Nan Jiyun, Li Zaixing didn't have time to think about his life experience for a while, and he didn't even have time to eat flowers and wine. After a few days, on the 18th, the Bodhi Temple held a Buddhist service again, and it was busy for several days in a row.
During this time, Al Medi began to learn the Yang family's marksmanship from Li Zaixing. She has a good understanding, and she is willing to work hard, and she is making rapid progress. If it weren't for Li Zaixing's fear that she would use too much force and hurt her leg again, she would have been holding the gun to sleep.
Under the auspices of Li Zaixing, the Bodhi Temple Dharma went smoothly, and Pei Xuanqing of the Luoyang Gang came, but he did not come to make trouble, but to cheer. Xie Guanglong and Pei Xuanqing, the two eldest brothers, stopped there, and the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods trembled with fright, and no one dared to come to the Bodhi Temple to make trouble.
After finishing his Buddhist work, Li Zaixing bought his armor and bow again, and was about to go to Longwujun to report, when Wang Xun came to the door.
"Brother Xian has been busy lately?"
Li Zaixing hurriedly stood up and said, "What advice does Eleven Lang have?" ”
"Alas, what else can I do, the inner family will go to the Zoroastrian Temple to pray for blessings in two days, and I have come to ask about the teachings of Zoroastrianism."
Li Zaixing smiled. "That's a coincidence, I'm also thinking about going there in the past two days, maybe I can meet Madame."
The corners of Wang Xun's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything more.
……
Two days later, in the ancestral hall of Jinggongfang, Wang Xun's wife Li Shiping went left and right, quietly looking at Li Zaixing, with complicated eyes.
"Do you know why I'm here to pray?"
"I know a little bit about it, could it be related to Ling Zun's death?"
"Yes." Li Shi nodded with satisfaction, and then put away his smile again, "It seems that you already know who I am, so I won't say more, after a long time, it will inevitably cause people to be suspicious." Long story short, I only have one request, help me kill someone. ”
"Attached to the horse commander Yang Xun?"
Li Shi turned his head and looked in the direction of the Yang family in the distance, his eyes were cold.
"I can help you kill him, but can Madame tell me who I look like?"
"Not right now." Li Shi retracted his gaze and looked at Li Zaixing quietly: "I can't tell you yet." I'll only tell you when you kill Yang Wei and retreat with your whole body. ”
Li Zaixing frowned slightly, and retreated? That's not that easy. The last time he was able to get out of Zuojin Wuwei prison alive, it was because Li Mi was strategizing behind his back, and for this reason, he specially arranged for Al Maidi to spy on Li Mi. What he came out of in the end, he still doesn't know very well. Now that Li Mi is a stranger to him, if he wants to plan by himself, he can kill Yang Wei at most, but he can't retreat like killing Wang Jie.
Li Zaixing was silent for a long time, and then said lightly: "Madam...... Do you still want to kill Li Linfu? ”
Li Shi glanced at him in surprise, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes: "Yes, are you sure?" ”
"If I just kill Yang Xun, I'm not sure, but if I want to kill Li Linfu, I'm a little sure."
Li Shi was puzzled, flashed a pair of wonderful eyes, and looked at Li Zaixing quietly.
Li Zaixing smiled: "Madam, you don't need to ask about the details here, I promise to get things done." Are you ...... now? Can you tell me the answer first? ”
Lee smiled and shook his head.
Li Zaixing was a little unhappy, he had already promised to kill someone for her, not only to kill Yang Xun, but also to kill Li Linfu, why did she refuse to tell herself the answer? Could it be that there is still someone to kill after killing Li Linfu, Concubine Wu Hui is already dead, does she want me to kill the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven is her grandfather.
Li saw Li Zaixing's displeasure, but still insisted: "Now is not the time. Trust me, I won't hurt you. She paused, then added, "If you're not sure, I suggest you don't force it." Li Linfu is treacherous, and if he is not careful, he will lose everything, not only will he not be able to achieve his wishes, but he may affect many people. He is almost seventy years old, and he has few days to live, and if he is not completely sure, waiting for him to die may be the safest way. ”
Li Zaixing smiled and said with a slight sneer: "I'm afraid that Mrs. is unwilling, right?" ”
Li glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Are you willing to replace you?" ”
Li Zaixing shook his head: "Of course I am not reconciled, I will pay for my blood debts and blood, if a person like him can also live a good life, what is the reason of heaven?" If the husband has revenge and does not take revenge, how can he establish the world? ”
"I think so too."
"But Ling Zun is not the only daughter of you." Li Zaixing retorted: "As far as I know, you still have five brothers. Why don't they take revenge, but you, a woman, take such a risk? ”
"Because...... They are now prison birds and cannot fly high. Li sighed and waved his hand, interrupting Li Zaixing's question. Li Dalang, don't ask about the rest. I still mean that, either you don't want to investigate your life history anymore and live your life peacefully, or you will find a way to kill Yang Xun. If you can stand in front of me unharmed, I will tell you who you really are. ”
She stared at Li Zaixing's eyes and said word by word: "I advise you to think carefully and think twice." It's for your good and it's good for me. Once you miss, there's no turning back. ”
Li Zaixing smiled without saying a word, arched his hand, and withdrew.
……
The Longwu Army is the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, originally stationed in Xuanwu Gate, and now the Son of Heaven is stationed in Xingqing Palace, and they are stationed in Xingqing Gate in the northwest corner of Xingqing Palace, next to Xingqing Palace.
Chen Xuanli, the general of Zuo Longwu, was a standard Tang Dynasty soldier, tall and strong, taciturn, but with sharp eyes and no anger and self-authority. Seeing Li Zaixing walk in, his thick eyebrows raised, and then he asked very calmly: "Coming?" ”
"General, my subordinates have to prepare armor, and it has been delayed for a few days, so the report is late."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Xuanli waved his hand. His palms are large and thick. "Your Majesty has just returned from Lishan, and there will be no patrol mission for the time being, and there are enough people in the palace to patrol. It's just that Your Majesty has a good eye for you, and you have already sent someone to ask twice, so you can't live up to Your Majesty's wishes. ”
"Whoa." Li Zaixing hurriedly agreed. After explaining his business, he was about to turn around and leave, when Chen Xuanli stopped him: "Your martial arts are good, and you are exactly the warrior that my Dragon Martial Army needs." If there is anyone who is in the same boat as you, you may want to introduce them to me. ”
Li Zaixing's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "My subordinates have two friends, one is named Nan Jiyun, who was originally the brigade commander of Zuo Jin Wuwei, who is good at martial arts, and is not under his subordinates. Two days ago, his subordinates also learned to shoot from him. Because he was unsatisfactory in Zuo Jin Wuwei, he just resigned. There is also a man named Xie Guanglong, who shoots with guns and swords, which is on par with Nan Jiyun, but because of his poor family, he has not been able to enter the office. If the general ......"
"Nan Jiyun, I've heard of it, if he is willing to come, of course I can't ask for it. I don't know what kind of person that Xie Guanglong is, where he is now, how about letting him come to me? ”
"General Xie." Li Zaixing was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
Li Zaixing turned around and left, following a guard to see Bing Cao join the army, he didn't see a smile flash from Chen Xuanli's face, and then disappeared without a trace. He turned to a squire beside him. The squire understood, turned and walked out.
……
Bai Ze, a soldier of the Zuolong Wu Army, was about thirty years old, with a white face and few beards, and a polite manner, with a few drops of ink on the cuffs of his green clothes. When Li Zaixing walked in, he was fiddling with a bunch of bamboo plaques, each with a name written on it. Hearing Li Zaixing's footsteps, he raised his head, glanced at the guards who sent Li Zaixing over, stretched out his hand to take Li Zaixing's excuse card, and laughed: "It turns out that you are Li Zaixing." ”
"Exactly down there."
"Well, that's good." Bai Ze came out of the back of the case, and glanced at Li Zaixing up and down: "It's not uncommon to be able to kill Wang Jie, and after killing it, you can still do it without any damage, this is the ability." They all say that you are a brave and reckless man, and in my opinion, you are deliberately clumsy, right? ”
Li Zaixing said embarrassedly: "It's funny to join the army." I am the courage of a horseman, there is nothing to hide, it is all on my face. ”
"Hahaha......" Bai Ze laughed and patted Li Zaixing's shoulder: "It's interesting, I like you like this." Come on, I'll give you a look at the shifts on duty. As he spoke, he walked back to the case, rummaged through the book, and then said: "According to the rules, you newcomers are not familiar with the situation, so you can't immediately guard the palace, you can only start from the periphery first." However, if you kill Wang Ji happily, you can skip this stage and start directly from the Prince's Courtyard. He raised his head, looked at Li Zaixing, and smiled: "The prince is benevolent, even if you don't intend to make mistakes, he won't care too much." ”
Li Zaixing's heart moved, he raised his head and met Bai Ze's gaze. Bai Ze's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously avoided it.
There's something greasy in this, Li Zaixing secretly exclaimed. Could it be that this is officialdom? Isn't it, Xingqing Palace is where the Son of Heaven lives, and the future Son of Heaven also lives here, which is the heart of the empire. It's not an exaggeration to say that it affects the whole body.
He suddenly regretted how I had stepped into this muddy water
