Zhang Liang walked up to Li Xiaogong with a respectful attitude, bowed and saluted: "Shangyong County Guard Zhang Liang pays a visit to the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Li Xiaogong looked at Zhang Liang coldly, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

Suddenly, a general walked out from behind Li Xiaogong and yelled at Zhang Liang: "You killer." All day long knowing kill, kill, kill. You are also a battle-hardened and experienced veteran, why was you so easily bewitched by Zhu Heng and committed such a heinous deed, even the Metropolitan Governor was alarmed, so that he had to rush to Wudang Mountain in person to stop you? ”

Zhang Liang said with a handful of snot and tears: "Two days ago, Wudang County ordered Zhu Heng to ask me for help with forty or fifty defeated soldiers, and framed Li Xuan's demons to confuse the public, gather the crowd to rebel, and kill the officials and soldiers without permission. I am guilty of negligence, and I ask most of them to punish me. ”

Li Xuan looked at the general who spoke before in surprise with an ordinary appearance and a bright eye, and said secretly in his heart: "Admire, admire." Obviously, Zhang Liang wanted to kill Liang and take the lead, but after his reprimand for Zhang Liang, it became that Zhang Liang was bewitched by others, and he neglected to observe for a while, and the soldiers surrounded the Yuxu Palace. The capital crime of killing good people and risking merit suddenly became a petty crime of being bewitched and neglected. This general is not simple, it is really not simple. ”

Li Xiaogong looked at Zhang Liang, who looked remorseful, and then looked at Zhu Heng, who was tied up with five flowers, his face was a little pale, and then he ordered: "Zhang Liang, the county guard of Shangyong, mistakenly believed the words of the villain, and was punished eighty times according to the law and dismissed from his post as the county guard of Shangyong; Wudang County ordered Zhu Hengzong to be evil, slander people for rebellion, and behead him according to the law of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Soon, Zhu Heng was beheaded, and his head was sent to Li Xiaogong; Zhang Liang was also executed with a cane and was carried down. Looking at Zhu Heng's bloody and remorseful head, Li Xuan was silent for a long time, a figure he was powerless to fight against, finally died, Li Xuan suddenly wanted to ask Zhu Heng, is it worth doing this for the position of the head of the Jade Void Palace? As for the fact that you have to fight to the death? I wonder why the hell is all this? He remembered Zhu Zhaocai, who was recuperating from his injuries in Wudang County, and he looked at Zhao Meng. Zhao Meng understood his thoughts and galloped down the mountain.

In the evening, Li Xuan's study in Yuxu Palace was quiet and tidy. Zhao Meng said to Li Xuan: "Immeasurable Tianzun, as soon as I entered the Wudang County Ya, I found that everyone in the county Ya seemed to have known in advance that Zhu Heng was dead and had made a mess. I took advantage of the chaos to enter Zhu Zhaocai's room and found that Zhu Zhaocai had committed suicide. According to Uncle Liu, the horseman of the county government, Zhu Zhaocai shouted hoarsely before he died: "People die for money, and birds die for food." Either Caesar or nothing. Li Xuan, you won, but you won't get anything. ”

After listening to Zhao Meng's words, Li Xuan fell into deep thought. He didn't want to kill Zhu Heng's father and son, he just wanted to protect himself, and now he wanted to know why Zhu Heng's father and son cared so much about the position of the head of the Yuxu Palace? Why do you have to put yourself to death for the sake of a position in charge? He couldn't figure it out. He walked to the window and looked up at the stars.

Darkness gradually filled the sky, countless stars broke through the night, and the night tide slowly invaded the air, spreading a sad atmosphere. Looking up at the starry sky, it is exceptionally clear, and the distant stars are shining like fine tears.

Li Xuan suddenly remembered his own home in later generations, and remembered his gentle wife and lovely daughter. The wife is gentle and considerate, and the daughter can only call her father and mother just now. As a result, as soon as I opened my eyes, I came to such an era. It was the most chaotic era and the beginning of the heyday of feudal society. It is like the darkness before the dawn, the darkest but the most hopeful. Coming to this era, he doesn't want to fight or fight, he just wants to go home. My daughter is three years old and likes to eat all kinds of delicious food, but she often eats bad stomach. His wife likes to go shopping, and often makes it difficult for her to accompany her shopping. But now how Li Xuan hopes to be able to return to them.

Li Xuan had his own guess that he could come to this era, and he suspected that the position of the head of the Jade Void Palace must contain a great secret, and this secret may be related to his rebirth. He tried to unravel the secret, but everyone who knew it seemed to be dead now.

Though he who goes, he who comes; It seems impossible for him to go back to the past, to return to his wife and daughter. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Li Xuan is willing to give it a try.

Yuxu Palace, Zixiao Pavilion, brightly lit.

Zixiao Pavilion, the VIP reception room in the Yuxu Palace is second only to the Taiqing Palace. Outside the pavilion, there are several green bamboos, and there are several famous cold-tolerant plants planted around the green bamboos.

Above the main entrance of Zixiao Pavilion, there is a large plaque of red gold and green land, on which are written three large golden characters "Zixiao Pavilion". In the hall, a large red sandalwood carved book case stands in it, and there is a three-foot-high green bronze tripod on the bookcase, and the tripod is lit with sandalwood, and the fragrance is elegant. Under the bookcase, there are two rows of six wooden chairs, neatly and orderly.

The general beside Li Xiaogong with an ordinary face and a bright eye sat on the yellow rosewood chair behind the red sandalwood carved bookcase, and watched Zhang Liang limp into Zixiao Pavilion.

Entering the cabinet, Zhang Liang was just about to bow and salute, but the general stopped: "No need to salute." You have a wound on your body, and you can't sit down, so let's just stand and talk. ”

Zhang Liang replied respectfully: "General Xie Zhendong." ”

The general said kindly: "What is there to thank for this." In Wagang Mountain, you follow me. Now serving Datang, you are my subordinate. How many years of friendship, what are you doing with these sour teeth? ”

Zhang Liang said: "If there is no rescue from General Zhendong during the day today, I am afraid that I will end up like Zhu Heng." ”

"You are different from Zhu Heng. Zhu Heng has evil thoughts in his heart, and your heart is not bad, but you have taken a fork in the road. The general said regretfully. Think of me Li Ji, when I was young, I was like you, bloodthirsty and murderous. I always think that only by killing people can I show my bravery. But slowly I learned that war is not about killing people for the sake of killing, but about killing people for the sake of saving people. In order to prevent the relatives, comrades-in-arms, and people around them from being killed, they can only slaughter those who intend to kill the people around them. Killing is to kill, and killing is to protect. That's what I think is the way to kill. And you have gone astray, you are killing people for the sake of killing, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, you even dare to kill good people and risk merit. You're wrong. I hope you've learned from your mistakes. ”

Zhang Liang was stunned in place, and said in a daze: "Kill to stop killing, killing is to save people." Yes? How so? I was wrong? Am I really wrong? ”

After that, he held his head in his hands, and he was in pain.

He likes to see the powerless resistance of those he kills, and he also likes to see the helpless eyes of those he kills, and he prefers to hear the cheers of everyone after he kills many people. Today, he had been following the worship of Li Ji, who told him that he was wrong. He couldn't accept it, and couldn't help but fall into madness.

He held his head in his hands and kept rolling on the ground. Beads of sweat ran down his forehead, and instead of wiping them, he kept muttering, "How can this be?" Why? After that, he touched the ground with his head, and the ground was hit with a thud, and his head was bleeding.

After a long time, Zhang Liang slowly got up and gradually regained his clarity, but his eyes became unusually firm.

Li Ji looked at all this coldly, he knew that his persuasion of Zhang Liang had failed, Zhang Liang was still the murderous killer, and his murderous heart was even more determined.

Li Ji turned to Zhang Liang and said, "You go." From then on, we will break off our righteousness. If you dare to kill the people, hurt the innocent, and kill the good and risky in the future, I will not spare you. ”

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, then saluted Li Ji's back and said, "Thank you General Zhendong for taking care of me over the years. ”

With that, turn and leave.

Looking at Zhang Liang's leaving, Li Ji kicked over the table next to him to vent the resentment in his heart.

Li Ji's lieutenant general comforted Li Ji and said: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." The road is all taken by himself, Zhang Liang is willing to fall, and the general should not be angry. ”

Li Ji let out a long sigh of relief and said, "After all, he has been a brother for many years, and I feel very uncomfortable seeing him go astray." ”

The adjutant said: "The general has already advised him, but he will not listen. The general has done his best, maybe Zhang Liang's life should be like this. ”

"Ugh." Li Ji sighed and stopped talking.
