The woman said that when Li Mi attacked Xiao Buyi, there was no urgency.

In fact, since Xiao Buyi knew her, he had never seen her have any impatience.

Even in Luoshui's shocking sword, Xiao Buyi only saw her calm and calm, even when she was chased and killed by Zhang Xutuo, Xiao Buyi saw her indifference and fearlessness.

This woman can't be said to be as cold as ice, but that indifference is really natural, as if she was born like this.

But even if such a woman has almost no desires, but she asks for one thing for herself, Xiao Buyi can't think of what it is.

Seeing Xiao Buyi silently, the woman asked, "It seems that you don't believe what I said?" ”

Xiao Buyi came back to his senses and frowned: "It's not that I don't believe it, but it's strange, if everything in the Book of Heaven is written clearly, then what do we want to work hard for." By the way, you said that I will one day be the first general of the Supreme King, since the Book of Heaven has been decided, I might as well turn around and farm the land as soon as possible, and wait for the Supreme King to ask me to do what the first general in front of the Supreme King, what are you still doing here? ”

The woman hesitated and snorted coldly, "Can you let go of everything now and go home to farm?" ”

Xiao Buyi could only shake his head, "No." ”

"That's right, the surname determines everything, and if you can't let go of everything here, it means that sooner or later you will act according to what is written in the Book of Heaven."

"Then give me a reason to serve the Supreme King." Xiao Buyi frowned and said: "I am fighting the country desperately, and a group of brothers are working hard for me, what reason do I have to give the country away?" And what will the brothers think of me? ”

The woman was stunned for a long time, "It is not written in the book of heaven." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Most of the people who write the Book of Heaven can't find a reason." ”

The woman thought for a long time before she said, "What is written in heaven is not the details, but the events. For example, Zhang Xutuo killed you, the plague was rampant, and Li Mi came to attack, as for how you cracked it, the Book of Heaven did not say it explicitly. According to my thinking, it is the people who plan the work, and the success is the day. ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head and stopped discussing this issue, he had already discovered that the woman was stubborn and unreasonable.

"Regardless of whether Li Mi attacks Xiangyang or not, I just want to ask you one thing, why are you working so hard to help me?"

"As I said, there's one thing that only you can do! There is nothing in the world that is not earned for nothing, so I want to help you fight against Zhang Xutuo, and I want to help you do what I can, otherwise how could you promise me plainly? ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Buyi frowned, in fact, he had been thinking about this question for too long.

The woman unsurprisingly gave him a correct but useless answer, "I can't tell you now." ”

Xiao Buyi sneered: "Did the book record what you asked me to do that day?" ”

"Of course." The woman did not hesitate.

Xiao Buyi asked again, "Did the book record the results that day?" ”

The woman shook her head and said, "No." ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned, and sighed for a while, "It seems that those who make up the Book of Heaven don't necessarily know the Heavenly Machine, but they definitely know the psychology of too many people." False and true, true and false make people feel like they are in the fog, but this is the case, but it makes more ignorant people believe it, which is also funny. Eat white rice, I just want to tell you now, the person who made up the book of heaven is definitely not a man who eats white rice, I think you are really innocent and cute, don't be sold, and collect money for the other party. ”

After he said this, he turned to leave, and the woman in black looked at his back, frowned rarely, her lips moved twice, and finally she didn't say anything.

**

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Buyi led his soldiers out of the city on horseback and went straight to Baling County.

He brought with him more than a thousand soldiers, all of whom were well-armoured and rode on tall horses. Xiao Buyi has a spear and a white horse, an iron helmet and leather armor, and an indescribable majestic and heroic posture.

The people pointed and said, "Look, this is General Xiao." ”

"Why did General Xiao lead his troops out of the city?"

"I heard that there are bandits near Baling, and General Xiao personally led his troops to quell the bandits."

"That General Xiao is really hard, but he reissued the Juntian Order and won the hearts of the people, how can there be bandits?"

"The bandits are unreasonable, this time General Xiao is asking again, but don't be merciful."

"General Xiao will be back soon, right?"

"That's nature, Xiangyang City can't do without General Xiao!"

The people talked a lot, but they didn't know anything about the truth, but it didn't prevent them from feeling awe and admiration for Xiao Buyi.

Seeing the army marching along the official road, dusty, all the way to the southeast, disappeared, the people scattered and turned back to the city. A man who looked like a common man watched the army leave from afar, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly turned back to Xiangyang City.

He walked through the streets for a long time, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he entered a narrow alley, and at the end of the alley there was a small door, and he knocked three times, and pushed the door in.

There were a few people sitting in the courtyard, the first one had a sharp forehead and a flickering eye, but it was Pushan Gong Li Mi!

However, although his eyes were shining, his face was sickly, and he coughed lightly from time to time.

With his superb martial arts, of course, it was not infected with wind and cold, but Zhang Xutuo's palm almost killed him, although it was better, the root of the disease could not be eradicated.

No one could have imagined that Li Mi would not resist the Sui army in Xingyang, but brought his men to Xiangyang.

The man sat opposite Li Mi and said with a smile: "Pushan Gong really has extraordinary knowledge, and he is sure that Xiao Buyi will definitely send troops to attack Jiangxia, and Xiangyang is empty, so he took the opportunity to enter, and he must be able to succeed in a battle!" ”

The person who sat down was Fang Xuanzao, and Li Mi was sitting next to Wang Bodang and Fang Xianbo, and there was another person next to him, who was Shan Xiongxin, one of the five tigers of Wagang!

Wang Bodang said on the side: "Sir, with the strength of just a few of us, it's too child's play to take Xiangyang, right?" ”

Fang Xianbo also said: "I also think so, now that Xiao Buyi has left Xiangyang, I think Pushan Gong should also tell us about the plan in his chest!" ”

Shan Xiongxin said in a deep voice: "Pushan Gong, you said that your condition is not well, and you have been recuperating all the time. This is to bring a few of us to Xiangyang, but considering the unstable foundation of Wagang? ”

The three of them had three questions, all of them had a worried face, and they didn't even know about Li Mi's scheme, but their attitudes were all respectful, it was really because Li Mi had planned and done a few big things, and nothing could be done, which made everyone deeply confident and followed with all their hearts.

Li Mi smiled: "It's not that I'm pretending to be profound, but I'm not sure if Xiao Buyi will leave Xiangyang." If this son stays in Xiangyang, our plan may not be successful. But as soon as he left, there was no one in Xiangyang City who could fight against me. ”

"Pushan Gong, don't forget that there is another Xu Shiji." Fang Xuanzao reminded on the side.

Li Mi smiled and said: "Xiongxin, you and Xu Shiji are called the Five Tigers of Wagang, if you talk about martial arts alone, which of you is higher and which is lower?" ”

He said that when it comes to martial arts alone, he obviously has long felt in his heart that if it comes to strategy, Shan Xiongxin is still far inferior to Xu Shiji.

There was no displeasure on Shan Xiongxin's face, "If you talk about strategy, I am far inferior to the world's achievements, and if you talk about martial arts, I can barely make a draw with the world's achievements." But Pushan Gong, Shiji and I have a deep brotherly relationship, although I came to Xiangyang, I don't want to fight with him. After all, it was we who misunderstood him first, and Xu Shiji, a high-minded and arrogant person, has been in Wagang for many years and has not lived up to Wagang. The owner of the village later begged him to turn back, but he was already discouraged by Wagang and could not be regarded as betrayal. ”

"Xiongxin's words are bad, how can the enemy talk about righteousness at the moment......" Fang Xuanzao was about to say something, but was stopped by Li Mi waving his hand, "What Xiongxin said is extremely true, in fact, I also admire Xu Shiji. At the beginning, Xu Shiji held a knife to kill Zhai Dangjia...... I thought about it afterwards, but I felt that there was probably some misunderstanding here, thinking that Xu Shiji was also a righteous man, and he would never harm his brother for the sake of his future......"

Shan Xiongxin's eyes flashed, "Pushan Gong really thinks so?" ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "Xiongxin really underestimated me, not to mention whether Xu Shiji really wants to harm Zhai Dangjia, even if he really has this heart, it is human nature." Now Wagang is strong, but it is in urgent need of talents, and Xu Shiji is the person Wagang needs! If he can take refuge in Wagang, I will welcome him. ”

Shan Xiongxin sighed, "I'm just afraid that he won't turn around." ”

"How can you succeed without trying?" Li Mi smiled and said, "Now that the time has come, I can tell you what I have planned." You all think that it is very childish for me to bring a few of you here, and you think that Wagang is competing with the Sui army, and I will not leave lightly, this kind of thinking is normal. But if you all think like this, Xiao Buyi and Xu Shiji will most likely be paralyzed and careless, such thoughts, attacking them unprepared, and taking them by surprise are tricks for the soldiers, if not, how can you deceive Xiao Buyi, who is as cunning as a fox? In fact, at the moment when I won the Golden Embankment Pass, I had already thought about how to kill Zhang Xutuo again......" When he said this, Li Mi coughed a few times and sighed softly, "Although I have been planning for a long time, I still underestimated Zhang Xutuo's martial arts, but fortunately, it ......"

"Fortunately, he betrayed his relatives and left ......" Fang Xuanzao said on the side: "Acting against the sky, even if it is martial arts, what can it do?" ”

Shan Xiongxin said on the side: "No matter what, Zhang Xutuo is always a hero!" ”

The rest of the people were silent, Li Mi sighed, nodded and said: "What Xiongxin said is not bad at all, Zhang Xutuo is a hero, but most of the heroes die early, just because they are too persistent." ”

The wind in the courtyard was blowing and the trees were moving, and when everyone heard Zhang Xutuo's three words, they were silent.

The name Zhang Xutuo, they can't forget it for the rest of their lives. Although Zhang Xutuo died, they only had more respect!

A person who can be respected by his enemies is a hero!

Li Mi finally broke the silence, "Since Zhang Xutuo died, I knew that the opportunity I was waiting for had finally come, and when I captured Xingyang and attacked the neighboring counties, I had actually paid attention to the land of Xiangyang. Xiangyang is located in the main point, but also to occupy the Central Plains of the hub, Yang Guang, the dog emperor to build the eastern capital, spend manpower, now the eastern capital city is thick walls, the Sui elite soldiers are all here, there are hundreds of thousands of hoarding, the eastern capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack! If we want to conquer the Eastern Capital, there is no doubt that it will be difficult. If you abandon the eastern capital and attack Xijing, where the city air defense is weak, Wei Wensheng is old and incompetent, and he should be able to succeed. If we occupy Guanzhong, we will rely on the danger, and it will only be a matter of time before we plot the world. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Fang Xianbo was surprised: "It turns out that Pushan Gong's ambition is actually in Xijing, which is far from what the Wagang people can imagine. ”

Fang Xuanzao sighed: "Although Xuanzao knows that Pushan Gong is known to be talented, he didn't expect that his ambitions are so magnificent, and his sons are interlocking step by step. ”

Li Mi shook his head and said: "Since I want to abandon the eastern capital first and plot against Xijing, then after conquering Xingyang, the second move should be to settle in Xiangyang." Xiangyang is located in the main point, not only the north-south artery, but also the connection with the eastern capital of the west, if we abandon the east and do not attack, before entering the west of the capital must take Xiangyang! Otherwise, the two places of Dongdu and Xiangyang will be occupied by the enemy, and they will become corners, which will cut off our way back. Most of our subordinates are Henan disciples, if we can't turn around, we are afraid that the army's heart will change, and it will be difficult to deal with the Guanlong lords for a long time, and there will be no place to bury them when the time comes! Originally, this Xiangyang has always been in the hands of Dou Yi, this person has no great power, and it is not difficult to take it. When the time comes, we will occupy Xiangyang, echo with Xingyang Xijing, look at the eastern capital on three sides, and the eastern capital will be isolated and helpless, and sooner or later it will fall into our hands! It's a pity that I was injured by Zhang Xutuo, and it hasn't gotten better, and this competition for the world has come out of Xiao Buyi, which is really unexpected, but Xiangyang actually fell into Xiao Buyi's hands, which is a big trouble! Now everyone thinks that I will confront the Sui army, but I just do the opposite, that is, I want to beat Xiao Buyi by surprise! The Sui army is already scattered, Zhang Xutuo is dead, Yang Yichen is the end of the crossbow, we have a large army to fight, as long as we hold on, Yang Yichen is helpless, not to mention the news a few days ago, Yang Yichen has been transferred back to Yangzhou by the faint king, Pei Renji is not handsome, he will never dare to send troops to attack us, Wagang is temporarily worry-free. ”

Everyone was in high spirits, and they understood in an instant that although Li Mi had left Xingyang, he still paid attention to the movements of Wagang!

However, the current Zhai Rang has really disappointed too many people, including Shan Xiongxin, who has been following him, Wagang is no longer surnamed Zhai now, and others are attached to it, but it is for the sake of Pushan Gong's prestige.

Li Mi's eyes showed a contemplative expression, "I can't wait to take Xiangyang, I only know that if Xiao Buyi has a solid foundation, it will be difficult for me to go west at that time, so I can only trap Xingyang and swear to seize the eastern capital, which is already the next policy." I waited until my injuries improved a little and came here quickly to plot against Xiangyang. ”

When everyone heard Li Mi talk eloquently, they couldn't help but show admiration.

Fang Xuanzao said with a smile: "It turns out that Pushan Gong has a big plan for a long time, and now he says it clearly, if everyone understands the reason, there should be no objection." ”

"But we are only a few people, how can we take Xiangyang?" Wang Bodang is still that confused.

Li Mi's eyes fell on Shan Xiongxin's body, "Xiongxin, my plot has been made clear to you, today Xiao Buyi left Xiangyang, for the great cause of Wagang, but now the heavy responsibility of taking Xiangyang falls on you." ”

Shan Xiongxin's face was a little strange, "Then I don't know what Pushan Gong wants me to do?" ”

As soon as Xiao Buyi left, Xiangyang City was actually in the hands of Xu Shiji, he held great power in the army, but this person was extremely righteous. Xiongxin has been married to him for many years, and he can send someone to lure him to meet him......"

"When the time comes?" Shan Xiongxin asked again.

"When the time comes, I'll wait here, and I'm still afraid of Xu Shiji's three heads and six arms?" Fang Xuanzao said with a smile: "Xiongxin don't forget, even if Zhang Xutuo is brave and invincible, he didn't die under the scheme of Pushan Gong?" ”

Shan Xiongxin frowned and said, "Are we going to kill Shiji?" ”

"Of course not." Li Mi smiled and said, "As long as he agrees to join us, it's too late for us to welcome him, how can he kill him?" ”

Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said: "Pushan Gong, since you know that Xu Shiji is a righteous person, you should know that even if we capture him, it is impossible for him to betray Xiao Buyi for us!" Of course you won't let him go, if that's the case, didn't I lure him here, didn't I kill his surname? I'd rather fight him with dignity and kill him for my own master's sake, than do anything to deceive my brother!" Besides, how can Xu Shiji alone control Xiangyang, plus we still have dozens of strong men who have mixed into the city, it is not enough! ”

"Be a man and don't be pedantic, Pushan Gong has his own arrangements!" Fang Xuanzao said aside.

Shan Xiongxin was silent, obviously disagreeing with this idea, but it was not easy to contradict.

Li Mi's face flashed with unhappiness, and he smiled in an instant: "I forgot to tell you something, in fact, I have ordered Cheng to bite Jin and lead two thousand elite soldiers to make a long-distance attack, make a detour, and now I have arrived in Xiangyang." As long as Xu Shiji can open the city gate, let Cheng Yanjin lead his troops into the city, and Xiangyang City will be in control. ”

Wang Bodang was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that Pushan Gong still has this strange soldier, and he really has no last resort." If 2,000 elite soldiers enter the city, great things can be done. ”

Shan Xiongxin was hesitant, if Li Mi asked him to fight, of course he would follow, after all, now he already felt that Zhai Rang was really useless, and he was also benevolent and righteous to Zhai Rang, but Zhai Rang couldn't support the wall, he was still full of ambition. Besides, Li Mi will eventually become the overlord, and it should be right to follow him. But if he was allowed to use tricks to frame his brother, he really couldn't do such a thing. Otherwise, he would not have risked being misunderstood by the Wagang people, and gave Zhang Xutuo a war horse, Zhang Xutuo's sentence of Shan Xiongxin is the most benevolent and righteous that he will remember to this day, and he will never forget it, but he followed Li Mi after all...... Seeing Shan Xiongxin's hesitation, Li Mi said softly: "Xiongxin, I know that you are afraid that I will harm Xu Shiji's surname, then good, I promise you, as long as you let him come, I will just persuade him, and I will definitely not harm his surname." If you violate this word, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

"Xiongxin, Pushan Gong has done his best, and now the key is on you, if you don't agree, our thousands of soldiers will return in vain this time!" Fang Xianbo persuaded him.

Fang Xuanzao sighed and said: "Xiongxin, the two armies are fighting, each is its master, if you are a woman's kindness, it will inevitably ruin the hard work of Pushan Gong." ”

Shan Xiongxin saw that everyone was starring, and they were all very dissatisfied with him, and sighed: "Okay, I'll let Xu Shiji come, I don't know if he will come or not, but Pushan Gong, you have to remember what you just said." ”

Li Mi showed joy and nodded: "I have nothing to say. ”

**

The city of Xiangyang is close to the water and the mountains, and the terrain is concise.

There is a valley not far away, surrounded by mountain peaks, and the valley is lush with trees and wildflowers, which is quite secluded.

The sound of the birds on the branches is endless, and it is more quiet in the valley, a woodcutter is chopping firewood and turning around, and the dusk is falling, obliquely shining on the distant mountains, and the green mountains are covered with a layer of pink.

The woodcutter roared a mountain song, and when he arrived at the mouth of the valley when he was about to cross the valley and return to his home, he suddenly felt a little hard to believe his eyes.

I saw that there was a large army stationed in the valley, which was empty before, and I was about to exclaim, and an arrow of 'whoosh' came and hit the throat.

The woodcutter covered his throat and fell to the ground softly, looking at the tragedy of the remnant sun, his heart was at a loss, and he didn't know why he died.

A soldier ran out of the valley, walked straight to the mountainside, looked at a general and said, "General Cheng, we have killed all the woodcutters in this vicinity, and no one should be able to leak the news again." ”

Cheng Yanjin was dressed in armor, standing on the mountainside, looking at the direction of Xiangyang City from afar, and said softly: "I know, you go down." Soldiers were instructed not to light fires, and those who disobeyed the order were beheaded. Rest for the time being, prepare at the time of unitary, horse bits, people bits, and set off on time. ”

The soldier responded and hurried down the mountain. The mountain breeze was blowing, the clothes were fluttering, Cheng Biting Jin's heart was somewhat excited, Li Mi was going to attack Xiangyang, which was beyond his expectations.

But Pushan Gong is resourceful, and he has always been able to do what others can't.

What can no one do? When he thought of this, Cheng Yanjin thought of Xiao Buyi again, and shook his head helplessly. One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, Li Mi and Xiao Buyi will fight sooner or later, but they didn't expect Li Mi to declare war so quickly.

Looking at the direction of Xiangyang City alone, Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt that this scene was a little familiar, where had he seen it, Cheng Yanjin fell into deep thought.

Suddenly I thought that it was when General Zhang was standing in Fang Mountain, and it was the same as when he was at this time.

Although General Zhang had three generals by his side at that time, they were all far away from him, and he was no different from being alone now.

The three generals are actually not thinking about the conquest for a long time, but General Zhang is so wise, how can he not see it? Perhaps, sometimes, some people, when they have no choice, can't help but deceive themselves.

General Zhang? When he thought of these three words, the corners of Cheng Biting Jin's mouth had a faint bitterness, and he smiled again in an instant, muttering: "I'm not Luo Shixin, and I'm not Qin Shubao!" ”

The voice was as faint as silk, and the head finally fell from the western mountain, and the valley lost its brightness, shrouded in hazy night.

The mountain wind is blowing again, and the weather in early spring is a bit cold......

**

At night, Xu Shiji sat in the General's Mansion, frowning slightly, dealing with the official documents on the bookcase, and writing a few strokes from time to time.

Now that the great cause is at the beginning, all kinds of waste are flourishing, and he must go all out to deal with it, so as to live up to Xiao Buyi's trust.

Du Ruhui was in charge of the selection and appointment of personnel in the three counties, and Wei Zheng was in charge of the logistics of the army, these things were very complicated, but they also needed capable people to do it in an orderly manner, but he was in charge of the general dispatch of the three counties and the detailed analysis of the counties along the border.

Xiao Buyi is too busy, this is Xu Shiji's opinion. Xiao Buyi is also worthy of being handed over to him by others, which is also an opinion of Xu Shiji.

Seeing Xiao Buyi's running north and south, Xu Shiji couldn't bear it, but he was helpless, because there were some things that only Xiao Buyi could handle.

Xiao Buyi may not have a huge network of scholars, but with his own hands, he has already carved out a world.

Just talking about the affairs of the grassland, no one can do it to his extent, even if he takes a large army, it is not enough, many things need skill, not strength!

Thinking of this, Xu Shiji smiled and took another official document, he had to filter everything and talk to Xiao Buyi in the most concise way, which would save time for Xiao Buyi.

Many people only see the success of the first battle, but they don't know that the analysis and preparation work of those famous generals in the early stage is as vast as the sea.

Luck can win for a while, but it definitely can't win for a lifetime!

But when he picked up the official document, he suddenly felt a little upset, and it was because of his family. Since occupying Xiangyang, he has sent soldiers to pick up his father, but there was no one at home before! This incident made him vaguely feel that something was wrong, Zhai Rang knew that he was a filial son, could it be that his father was picked up by Zhai Rang to Wagang? Xu Shiji frowned secretly and clenched his fists.

"General Xu, there is your letter." The guard outside the door said softly.

Xu Shiji stretched out his hand to take the letter, looked at it, his face remained unchanged, and waved his hand: "You stand down." ”

The soldiers retreated, but Xu Shiji sat for a moment, his eyes full of meaning.

When the candle wick burst, Xu Shiji stood up, sorted out his outfit and waist knife, and slowly stood up, as if he had a thousand catties on his body.

This night, it seems, is not destined to be dull!

He went out of the general's palace, did not lead the soldiers, walked alone, walked to a narrow alley, hesitated for a moment, strode in, and reached the end of the alley. When I saw a small door, I reached out and knocked on it a few times.

The small door was not opened, and there was a square table in the middle of the courtyard with an oil lamp on it. Behind the table sat Shan Xiongxin, his face cloudy and uncertain under the dim light of the oil lamp.

**

When Xu Shiji saw that it was indeed Shan Xiongxin, his face showed joy, he took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Xiongxin, it's really you, how can you ......?"

Before the words fell, the small door behind him slammed and was closed. Xu Shiji's body stiffened, and he slowly looked behind him, only to see a person standing by the door, looking at him with a smile and saying, "Xu Shiji, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xu Shiji took two steps back, and his face changed slightly: "Li Mi, why are you?" ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and several people walked out one after another, and several strong men held torches, illuminating the dim courtyard as if it were day. Fang Xuanzao, Wang Bodang, and Fang Xianbo are all included.

Xu Shiji pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, ignoring the great enemy Li Mi in front of him, but he looked at Shan Xiongxin and said with a wry smile: "Xiongxin, are you really looking for me?" ”

Shan Xiongxin lowered his head and said with some shame: "The world ...... Achievement, Pushan Gong ...... I'd like to talk to you about something......"

Xu Shiji let out a long breath and relaxed his body, "What are you talking about?" ”

Li Mi didn't wait to speak, Fang Xuanzao had already smiled and said: "Xu Shiji, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, and Pushan Gong intends to recruit you to his command for reuse, regardless of his previous suspicions." If there is a big chaos today, Pushan Gong attacks Jindi Pass, kills Zhang Xutuo, and captures Xingyang County, the next step is to take the eastern capital and become the overlord of the Central Plains. The achievements of the world you have long said that you belong to it, it is better than doing nothing in Xiangyang. If Pushan Gong is the emperor, you and I are the founding heroes! ”

Xu Shiji smiled, "Take the Eastern Capital?" I'm just afraid that Pushan Gong wants to plot against Guanzhong. Xiangyang is a springboard for enterprising Guanzhong, and Pushan Gong has come all the way here, most likely to take Xiangyang. ”

Li Mi finally laughed, "Shiji, you are really talented, and you can break through the sky with one word." ”

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly: "I only found out after the fact, and I mistrusted others, what kind of talent can I be." ”

Shan Xiong was apologetic in confidence, but he just remained silent.

Li Mi smiled and said: "I said that you have you, Shiji, you are as smart as Si, and I don't talk around the corner, I invite you to come today, just to rely on your strength, open the city gate, and let the soldiers in." If you help me, I will be prosperous and rich in the future, and my promotion to the knighthood will be the first achievement. ”

'Choking' sound, Xu Shiji pulled out his waist knife, "What if I don't agree?" ”

Li Mi's eyes sneered, "Xu Shiji, with your ability, you can't do more than three moves under me!" ”

Xu Shiji didn't talk nonsense anymore, and in the roar, the sword light flickered, but he retreated in the direction of Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin stood up and stepped aside, allowing Xu Shiji to rush out of a path. Two strong men came forward to stop, but he cut one of them down with a knife, and walked quickly in two steps, and he was already at the wall, and he was about to get up, and the wind rushed behind him.

Xu Shiji was shocked, knowing that Li Mi had already made a move, regardless of himself, he slashed back with a backhand.

The knife is fierce, straight as desperate!

Li Mi made a clamp, the single knife was broken, and he flew into the sky, and then stretched out his hand, pointed to make an eagle hook, choked Xu Shiji's throat, and pressed Xu Shiji against the wall.

"Don't kill him!" Shan Xiongxin shouted loudly and hurried over.

Li Mi smiled and let go of his palm, but he did not leave Xu Shiji's throat.

Xu Shiji's eyes were calm, but he didn't look at Shan Xiongxin, and said coldly: "Li Mi, you can kill me, but if you want me to open the city gate, it's delusional!" ”

"Is it okay to have a surname?" Li Mi sighed and said: "The achievements of the world, in the troubled times, how can you be loyal? What Xiao Buyi can give you, I can also give. ”

The corners of Xu Shiji's mouth grinned, "Xiao Buyi can give me benevolence and righteousness, can you?" ”

Shan Xiongxin was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. Ever since he deceived Xu Shiji, from beginning to end, Xu Shiji has never looked at him again, let alone scolded him, but because of this, it made him even more uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Mi was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Is benevolence and righteousness very valuable, I don't know how much more precious it can be compared to filial piety?" ”

Xu Shiji's face changed greatly, his eyes had already looked behind Li Mi, only to see two strong men holding the old man hostage and walking out. The old man has gray hair, it is his father Xu Gai!

He didn't expect that his father didn't fall into the hands of Zhai Rang, but was captured by Li Mi.

Shan Xiongxin was also stunned, unbelievable, his face became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but think of Qin Shubao at the beginning!

A few words burst out between Xu Shiji's teeth, "Pushan Gong, you are a self-proclaimed hero and hero, the overlord of the Central Plains." Plotting against the world, being an upright teacher, don't you think you're too despicable to threaten others like this? ”

Li Mi said indifferently: "Those who achieve great things are just informal." ”

When Xu Gai saw his son, he burst into tears and said loudly: "Shiji, don't care about me." ”

Xu Shiji's eyes showed pain, and he bit his lip, "Li Mi, you ......"

"Shiji, I still say that, what Xiao Buyi can give you, I can also give, but in this troubled world, how can benevolence and righteousness live?" Li Mi said softly: "You are so smart, you should know that you can achieve hegemony by unscrupulous means, which one of Gaozu or Emperor Wen is not like this?" If you follow the benevolence of the wife of the overlord of Chu, you will end up with Wujiang killing herself. ”

Shan Xiongxin suddenly stepped forward and said, "Pushan Gong, please let go of the father of the world." Even if we are unkind, but this kind of thing is done, which will inevitably chill the hearts of people all over the world. ”

Fang Xuanzao said on the side: "Xiongxin, you should do whatever it takes to become a great cause, Xu Shiji has temporarily taken refuge in Xiao Buyi, and leaving Xiao Buyi is not a betrayal!" Since you follow the Duke of Pushan, you should obey his orders, and don't spoil a big thing because of a moment of righteousness! ”

The corners of Shan Xiongxin's mouth twitched and lowered his head.

Xu Shiji finally glanced at Shan Xiongxin, but blood was already flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Li Mi didn't look at Shan Xiongxin, and said in a deep voice: "Shiji, if you help me open the city, I will release your father and son, and I will record your first credit." If you don't comply, I'm afraid that you will bear the name of unfilial piety, and you will not be able to sleep and eat for the rest of your life. ”

Xu Gai suddenly shouted: "Shiji, don't care about me!" He worked hard to break free and break free, but the big man around him was powerful, how could he break away!

Li Mi gave a look, and Fang Xianbo had already drawn a knife in his hand and put it on Xu Gai's neck. Li Mi said in a deep voice: "Xu Shiji, I won't kill you, because I promised Xiongxin and won't break my promise, but I didn't promise him not to kill Ling Zun!" I'll count three times, and if you don't decide, don't blame me for being ruthless. One ......"

Everyone was silent, Xu Shiji just looked at his father, his expression was painful, and the torch sounded like it was burning in his chest.

"Second ......," Li Mi read slowly.

Xu Shiji took a long breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!" ”

**

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions were different, and Li Mi let go of his hand with a smile, but he still didn't leave Xu Shiji's arm. Although he was injured, his martial arts were too much higher than Xu Shiji's, but he was still cautious and did not dare to take it lightly.

Xu Gai said sadly: "Shiji, be yourself, don't ...... because of me"

He didn't have any feelings for Xiao Buyi, only seeing his son so embarrassed, he knew the weight of Xiao Buyi in Xu Shiji's mind, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and he only hated himself for being powerless.

Li Mi smiled, "Shiji, since you promised me, then you will help me open the city gate tonight, what do you think?" ”

Xu Shiji's face turned pale, and only one word burst out, "Okay!" ”

Fang Xuanzao immediately ordered to go down, and after a moment of effort, footsteps sounded, and dozens of strong men poured into the courtyard, but they were all dressed in the clothes of Xiangyang City soldiers, Xu Shiji muttered: "It turns out that you have been planning for a long time!" ”

Li Mi held Xu Shiji's hand and said with a smile: "The world performance has been awarded." ”

Everyone walked out of the narrow alley and walked straight to the gate of Xiangyang City, Fang Xianbo and two strong men held Xu Gai hostage left and right, and said in a low voice: "Don't shout, otherwise it will kill your son's surname." ”

Xu Gai had tears in his eyes, biting his lip, and didn't dare to make a sound.

The footsteps of the crowd were fast, and the kung fu of the pillar incense had already arrived at the city gate.

When the city tower saw someone rushing over, it had already shouted, "Who is it?" ”

Xu Shiji said coldly: "It's me, Xu Shiji!" Who's guarding the gates today, but Bebe? ”

A thin figure appeared on the tower of the city gate, and said in a deep voice: "General Xu, it is his subordinate." I don't know why General Xu came here late at night? ”

Li Mi clenched Xu Shiji's arm, and his heart was slightly excited, whether Xiangyang could be taken off or not was just between these thoughts!

Xu Shiji walked slowly up to the city tower, Li Mi and others followed, Fang Xuanzao and Wang Bodang left and right, and Shan Xiongxin also followed, but he kept his head down.

Downstairs at the city gate, Fang Xianbo took dozens of strong men to escort Xu Gai, but I was afraid that the soldiers of the city tower would see the flaws, as long as the city gate was opened, they would choke the city gate, as long as they supported for a while, Cheng Yanjin, who had been ambushed outside, would soon kill and break through Xiangyang City!

Xu Shiji arrived at the city tower, and his voice was calm, "Open the city gate, these soldiers are going to go out of the city on business." ”

"Does General Xu have an edict?" Beppe asked.

Xu Shiji looked like he was about to faint, "Do I still want a handiwork?" ”

Bei Pei said seriously: "General Xu, you have a rule, when you go out of the city late at night, you must need your hand, this rule can't be broken, right?" ”

Xu Shiji reached into his arms, took out the oracle and handed it to Bei Pei. Li Mi frowned secretly, but he held Xu Shiji's arm, beware of him highlighting his tricks, but he didn't expect Bei Pei to just look at it, and he had already shouted loudly: "Open the city gate." ”

There was a soldier walking in the direction of the city gate, Fang Xianbo was slightly nervous, and followed behind the soldier with dozens of people, just waiting for him to unlock it, and then choke the city gate. Li Mi suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't understand it for a while.

Bei Pei had already said with a smile: "General Xu, who is this, why is he so face-stricken?" ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed, Li Mi only heard a 'pop' sound, and the cold light was close to the door, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

The crisis happened without warning, and he never dreamed that this Bei Pei would kill if he said he would!

didn't care about controlling Xu Shiji, an iron plate bridge leaned back, but Xu Shiji was prepared, jumped forward, grabbed Shan Xiongxin and rolled out.

When Shan Xiongxin saw Xu Shiji get out of trouble, he was slightly happy in his heart, but he didn't think of resisting, and he had been taken to the ground by him.

Fang Xuanzao and Wang Bodang still don't know why, but Li Mi was taken aback, the secret way is not good, so he has to get up to chase Xu Shiji, but he didn't expect Bei Pei to raise his arms together, use force under his feet, and be like a hedgehog, at least more than ten points of cold light, and his strength is as strong as a hard crossbow.

Li Mizong is a martial artist, and he can't resist if he is unarmed, and he is a flip again, and he is a few steps away from Xu Shiji, "Break the door!" Li Mi knew that the matter was revealed, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he only had time to scream, hoping that Fang Xianbo would kill the soldiers and open the city gate.

Bei Pei seemed to know that Li Mi was powerful, and all the hidden weapons were aimed at him alone, Fang Xuanzao Wang Bodang came to his senses and was about to step forward, Li Mi suddenly shouted: "Lie down!" ”

His voice landed, and the whole person lay down.

There was a 'hum' sound, and an overwhelming array of crossbow arrows had been shot from the opposite side, making the bright moon lose its color!

Wang Bodang fell to the ground quickly, but Fang Xuanzao was a step slower, and was hit on the leg by several crossbows, screaming miserably.

Li Mirao is bold, and he is also frightened when he sees this kind of momentum. This kind of crossbow arrow is far superior to the bow and arrow, and it is impossible for anyone to resist. The thought was just a turn, and he had already grabbed Wang Bodang and Fang Xuanzao and jumped off the city, and he fell, only to hear the sound of 'humming' above his head, and the crossbow arrows shot out of the battlements of the city gate, almost grazing the scalps of the three people, and the cold air was cold.

Li Mi was in danger even stronger, the person was in the air, fell quickly, threw the two of them hard, reached out and drew the knife, and slashed three times in a row, and the knife slashed on the city wall.

The sound of 'clicking' made a single knife break, but it was so slow down a few times, although the city wall was high, Li Mi fell but was already safe and sound. He stretched out his hand to catch Wang Bodang and Fang Xuanzao, but he heard a scream at the city gate, and heard that it was sent by dozens of strong men of his own, Li Mi couldn't help but be even more frightened, his plan was absolutely flawed, but how could it be cracked? If Xu Shiji is prepared, doesn't he even want Xu Gai's surname?

"Pushan Gong!" Shan Xiongxin didn't know why, when he saw Li Mi jumping off the city tower in distress, he broke free from Xu Shiji and ran over, and he was at the head of the wall, so he wanted to jump down.

Xu Shiji shouted: "Xiongxin! ”

Shan Xiongxin stopped, his forehead was already sweating, the bright moon was in the sky, casting a cold aura, his heart was like numbness, and he didn't know where to go.

Jump or not, just in a thought!
