Chapter 76
Suddenly, a ride appeared in everyone's sight.
This is a tall middle-aged man, this person has a face like a crown and jade eyes like a star, wearing a pure white robe, riding a spotted leopard, majestic and free, free and easy, but with wildness.
The big shopkeeper couldn't help but take a deep look at this person, and the eyes of Li Xunlian and the others were also attracted to it, and they all showed different colors.
said that this person is a bandit, but he does not have the apex of banditry, if the leopard mount is replaced by a high-headed horse, this person is more like a ranger, and he is still the type of "Qingfeng three-foot smile red dust".
The leopard's speed was extremely fast, and the man rode safely, with a faint smile on his face.
Even though he is now less than a hundred feet away from the big shopkeeper, it is still the same, and on his body, people can't see the word fear.
"The big treasurer. When he got closer, the man smiled lightly.
The big shopkeeper didn't tell the little minion his identity before, but now he salutes him with this title, obviously, he knows Li Xunlian's background very well, and he can guess the identity of the big shopkeeper through the description of the little minion or his own inference.
However, he still has no fear, in front of the first person in Kyushu Xuanxiu, this person is calm and unhurried, and his bearing is extraordinary.
The big shopkeeper bowed slightly, and said, "You are the big boss of Zhennan Zhufeng?"
"It's down there. The man flipped off the leopard, took two steps forward and arched his hand again, and said, "In Xiafu's surname Baili, the double name is Qingfeng." ”
Hundreds of miles of breeze, I have to say, this person is as his name, giving people a feeling of a free breeze blowing in their faces.
The big shopkeeper bowed his head again, this person has good etiquette and graceful bearing, if it weren't for the head of the enemy and his mouth was wild, the big shopkeeper really didn't want to put pressure on him this time.
"Why do you think that you have the strength to win over my inn boy.
The big shopkeeper asked in a calm tone.
Baili Qingfeng smiled when he heard this, and said, "Because I can take over the world." ”
"The world is so easy to win, with your 3,000 rabble, or because you rely on Cheng Wang?" the big treasurer asked again.
"The big treasurer is right, the bandits on the peaks of this town are indeed a rabble. But you are wrong to rely on Cheng Wang, in my eyes of Baili Qingfeng, Cheng Wang is nothing more than a reckless man. Baili Qingfeng smiled steadily, and his words revealed a very strong confidence.
Scheming people such as King Cheng are regarded as reckless, and this person is either arrogant or a peerless talent that is rare for a thousand years.
"If you are a reckless man, why do you succumb to him? The chief treasurer asked again, he was very interested in this man, and if it was possible, he wanted to recruit himself under his command.
At present, Kyushu is in turmoil, and the inn is very lacking in such a person, maybe the third shopkeeper is such a person, but he is a little unreliable now.
"It's just a matter of necessity. Baili Qingfeng smiled.
He was right, he was in the Southland, and there were only 3,000 rabbles under him, no matter what he would achieve in the future, but it was obviously impossible to defy the 200,000 male soldiers with this.
Knowing that you are invincible and still fighting hard, it is not bravery, but recklessness. This is also the reason why the hundred miles of light wind will become a reckless man, in his opinion, King Cheng is now out of the imperial court, that is to kill himself. Although he was in high spirits for a while, he would eventually sink into the sand and end up in a catastrophe from which he could never recover.
"In that case, then why don't you take refuge in the imperial court?" Li Xunlian was also aroused, in the face of such a person, it is difficult for people not to be attracted.
Baili Qingfeng looked at him seriously, and did not rush to answer, but asked rhetorically: "Presumably this is the innkeeper, if my knowledge of the situation is true, you should be able to figure out why I don't go to the imperial court." ”
Li Xunlian smiled lightly and nodded, that's right, he knew.
This person did not take refuge in the imperial court because he was confident that he would help Zhennan Pass keep all the enemies out of the pass, so that the power of Chengwang would not be destroyed in a short period of time, and the long-term existence of Chengwang's power would exacerbate the development of turmoil, which would be conducive to his rise in troubled times.
If the imperial court easily exterminates the power of the king, the world will fall into a situation of dominance. Of course, this dominance refers to the forces that are interested in competing for the unification of the world, excluding the category of inns.
In other words, as long as there is a king to check and balance it, and be the first bird, there will be countless ambitious people who are ready to move. If the first bird is killed with a stick, the ambitious will die down and lie dormant again.
This is something he does not want to see, because he is not a prince and prince, and there is no innate huge power for him to test, so every choice is extremely important, and it is obvious that the rise in troubled times will be much less resistance than the rise in prosperous times, and once it rises, its power will expand like a snowball, and grow rapidly.
"It seems that the guess is good, Childe and I are the same kind of people. Baili Qingfeng smiled and said: "This is the reason why I am wooing my son, but my subordinate's words are just a little inappropriate, not to persuade him to surrender, but to form an alliance." ”
I have to say that Li Xunlian was quite moved to form an alliance with this person. However, there is a premise, after the alliance, which side is the alliance against, against King Cheng, that is perfect, but if it is turned against the imperial court, although Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong have grievances, they still can't.
Baili Qingfeng saw Li Xunlian's thoughts, and said again: "There is something unclear below, please ask the son to answer." ”
"Please. Li Xunlian stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.
"I don't understand, why do you want to form an alliance with the Imperial Court, what is the benefit to you, and what is the benefit to the inn. ”
This question is actually very good, in terms of interests alone, Li Xunlian's help to the imperial court to conquer King Cheng will not bring any benefits to the inn, and it is even possible that the three shopkeepers will be on the way, but at a deeper level, the demon clan covets Kyushu, and King Cheng takes advantage of this opportunity to make trouble, if it is not quickly swept away, then the chaos will be more chaotic, and Kyushu will be doomed.
After listening to Li Xunlian's answer, Baili frowned for a moment, obviously he hadn't thought about it before, or he didn't know about the demon clan, in short, Li Xunlian's words caused him to think deeply.
The deep thought lasted for a long time, and during this time, Li Xunlian and the big shopkeeper did not disturb him. For this kind of person, what others say is just a reference for him, and the real decision will always be based on what he thinks.
After about a quarter of an hour, Baili Qingfeng finally spoke, and Zhengse said: "I don't know about the demon clan, if this matter is a fact, I should take Kyushu first." ”
Hearing this, Li Xunlian and the big shopkeeper glanced at each other, and they both looked happy. This person has ambition and ability, but his ambition is based on the foundation of Kyushu, and if he puts this ability on the right path, he will surely shine. Clearly, he has this in mind now.
"However, it will take some time to thoroughly investigate the matter, and in the meantime we should take the liberty of asking for it, and in the meantime the inn will not put pressure on us. Baili Qingfeng said.
"This is natural. Li Xunlian nodded, and then said: "But this time has to have a specific deadline, and the Ming people don't say secret words, and I can't be sure whether your so-called investigation is delaying time for King Cheng." ”
"Childe's worries are understandable, but he can't agree to them. Baili Qingfeng's words were extremely firm, and he said: "I have a problem with this person, and I won't easily believe people's words, so I can't make any promises to you until I am sure that the demon clan is in turmoil." ”
"Of course, if Childe thinks it is necessary to send troops to us during this period, then he will accompany him at any time. ”
After that, Baili Qingfeng looked at Li Xunlian, although the original intention of his words was not provocative, but there was indeed a provocation.
"It's okay, I don't hesitate to send troops to you when I think it's necessary, but this is also based on being sure that you are indeed the king. Li Xunlian replied.
"That's the best, then leave it at that, you and I have to hurry up. I don't want the land of Kyushu that belongs to me in the future to be trampled by the demon clan. Baili Qingfeng smiled, and immediately turned over the leopard, and after greeting the two, he wanted to turn around and return to his own formation.
"Wait, can I take the liberty of asking, why didn't you stop me from stationing in such a vital place. Li Xunlian raised his hand to the mountain peak where the headquarters was stationed and asked.
Baili Qingfeng turned around and smiled: "Since the son asked, it is not easy to hide it." Not for anything else, just because I am completely sure that I will kill all the people in this mountain. ”
After that, he glanced at the big shopkeeper again and said, "But the fact that the big shopkeeper is in person makes this matter a little more difficult." ”
A few points, it's just a few more difficult points to have a big shopkeeper, I really don't know where this person's self-confidence comes from!
"Haha, to be honest, I really want to have a few tricks with you. Li Xunlian laughed, and he became more and more interested in this person.
"No, no, no, with the next move, there are not a few moves, the winner will be seen within one move, and either you die or I die. So Childe should not hold this thought, because Zai Xia does not want to take Childe's life. ”
Li Xunlian thought for a moment when he heard this, and joked: "Then I have to thank the big boss for not killing?"
"Haha, no, no, although I am sure that I will punish my son, I don't say that I can get out of the way. So if it's not a last resort, I don't want to be an enemy of Childe. ”
After speaking, the breeze galloped away in laughter, and when the figure gradually disappeared, a sentence came from afar: "If the son is interested and trustworthy, he can come to the mountains to have a drink on the next day." ”
"I'll be disturbed one day!" Li Xunlian responded loudly, watching the breeze go away.
At this point, Li Xunlian is very curious about why Baili Qingfeng has such confidence, and he boasted that he would go to Haikou to punish the headquarters, although he finally said that it was likely to be a lose-lose situation, but Li Xunlian still couldn't figure it out, although his own defense was not invulnerable, but it was also extremely meticulous, if this person really had a clever plan, it was indeed worth learning.
After chatting with this person, Li Xunlian's mood was much more relaxed, although Hu Wan's matter was serious, it could not be solved in a moment. In other words, everything depends on the will of God, to see how far things will eventually develop, even if the town is worried now, it is useless.
After the hundred miles of light wind returned to the headquarters, Mingjin withdrew his troops, and Li Xunlian naturally withdrew his position. There was nothing to say that day, and early the next morning, Li Xunlian came to the appointment with two jars of fine wine against the dense fog in the mountains......
Regarding Li Xunlian's appointment to go to Baili Light Breeze to drink, everyone except the big shopkeeper was opposed, but at Li Xunlian's insistence, he could only go in the end.
Li Xunlian believes that this person is not an unbeliever, scheming and insidious and cunning are two different things, the hundred miles of breeze belong to the former, and the king is the latter.
Because he had already been instructed by the breeze for a hundred miles, the guards of the cottage respectfully welcomed Li Xunlian to the village. It is said that it is a walled village, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to call it a city in the mountains, the high wall is deep, the watchtowers are numerous, even if it is compared with the south pass of the town, it is not much better in terms of the defense system alone.
Along the way, the people in the bandit village did not hide it, and proudly told Li Xunlian about all kinds of organs and facilities, and Li Xunlian bowed his head again and again after hearing this, they do have proud capital, and the sound defense system here is far beyond his imagination.
The city in the mountains connects the five majestic peaks, and the general village where Bailing Light Wind is located is located in the highest of the five peaks, not to mention the suspension bridge between the two peaks, but the suspension bridge between the two peaks is very surprising to Li Xunlian, and I don't know what principle they use, they can disconnect the suspension bridge across the two majestic peaks, but when they need to connect, they only need to press what mechanism to connect themselves.
The theory of machine springs involved in this is too profound, and Li Xunlian really can't understand it.
"Once the suspension bridge is broken, between the two peaks is a distance that even the power of the sea can not cross, if you want to attack the main village, you have to attack from the bottom of the mountain, but this mountain is as steep as a sword, from the bottom of the mountain to attack, the people and horses stationed on the mountain only need to put down the rolling wood and stones to dissolve, the end is a model of easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Xunlian didn't care about it, and praised the cottage defense in an analytical way.
After hearing this, the bandit who led the way became even more proud, and said with a smile: "Childe only sees the surface, but he doesn't know that there are many powerful mechanisms under this mountain, not to mention attacking from the bottom of the mountain, if there is really an enemy to attack, I am afraid that they will not be close to this mountain." ”
Li Xunlian did not have the slightest doubt about this, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he was stable and did not attack them directly, but chose to stay and wait and see, otherwise if this battle continues, the damage will be extremely heavy. The main thing is that it may not be taken yet.
It can be seen that war is indeed different from the battle between the rivers and lakes. To be honest, a hundred miles of light wind is just a Lingxi Xuanxiu, not to mention insignificant in the rivers and lakes, but it can only wander in the middle and lower reaches.
But this is war, and if you want to destroy a force, you have to destroy its lair. A stronghold like this, even if there are more than a dozen Divine Sea powers, it is impossible to conquer them easily.
And the duel between the rivers and lakes is not so complicated in many cases, maybe the heads of the two sides will be able to see life and death. For example, if the Great Treasurer kills the Dao Sect Master, then he can easily enter the Dao Sect, and in the same way, if the Great Treasurer falls, Divine Sword Peak will no longer have today's status.
Of course, the leaders of the forces of the rivers and lakes often have peerless supernatural powers, and it is more difficult to cause them to fall than to ascend to the sky. In the end, most of them will slowly weaken the foundation of this force before they can succeed.
To put it another way, if you want to end a war completely, you need to destroy this "point". If you want to end a Jianghu force, you need to end the strongest person in this point, the two are similar, but the former is relatively more complicated.
Because this point can be a small cottage, a huge city, or even a certain area.
Take King Cheng as an example, his point is not just as simple as Dragon Bone City, the thirteen levels in the south, as long as one level is lost, his power will not be over. Therefore, the imperial court had to send 100,000 troops, starting from Zhennan Pass and gradually advancing.
Unconsciously, Li Xunlian had already crossed the Richh Suspension Bridge under the guidance and climbed the opposite peak.
This peak and Shenjian Peak are definitely incomparable, but it can still be called towering into the clouds, and on the top of the mountain, the heroic feeling of seeing all the mountains arises spontaneously.
Since the suspension bridge is directly connected to the top of the two peaks, after crossing the suspension bridge, you can directly resist the top of the mountain where the main village is located. Looking at the top of the mountain in the headquarters before, this was just a defensive place surrounded by high walls, but now that he entered the inside, Li Xunlian couldn't help but be surprised.
After walking through the towering walled gate, it shows a kind of sudden enlightenment, and even the willows and flowers are not exaggerated.
But seeing the blue brick and blue tile houses, it is spring, the flowers are blooming and the trees are prosperous, and it feels like a gangster base, but more like a paradise.
The houses here are all wooden houses, and they are all made of the same kind of wood, and there is a sense of order in the uniform specifications. Because of the large number of houses, the alleys seem to be crisscrossed, but this does not prevent the existence of a sense of tranquility that should be contrary to the sense of order.
Looking at it, a "ten" shaped avenue will cut the residential area into four areas, and on both sides of this crossroads, markets, restaurants, money villages, private schools, cloth shops, etc., everything is available, the alley from time to time there is the sound of children playing, looking up at the attic window opening there are even scholars bingshu reading, what surprised Li Xunlian is that there are many young women gathered next to the roadside jewelry stall, one by one chattering and discussing which new jewelry is more suitable for themselves, and which one can make their favorite person feel more beautiful......
All of this subverted Li Xunlian's concept of bandits. Children can understand, after all, bandits also have wives. Scholars can barely understand that they are bandits in order to cultivate their own talents. But what's going on with this group of young women, they won't all be Mrs. Zhai, it can't be so many, and they seem to be living a very happy and peaceful life, and if they are forcibly captured, how can they talk about the person they like!
"Childe, Childe?"
Seeing that Li Xunlian was distracted, the man who led the way whispered a few words. Li Xunlian woke up when he heard this, and sighed sincerely: "Baili Light Wind is really a great talent, if he is the one who is in charge of Kyushu, it will definitely be a different situation." ”
"Haha, Childe thinks so too, right, our three thousand brothers in Manzhai think so!" The passerby laughed heartily, obviously proud to be the "little brother" of Bailing Qingfeng.
Then the two walked and chatted, and soon saw Baili Qingfeng, but what surprised Li Xunlian again was that Baili Qingfeng did not live in the best residence and enjoy the best treatment like those leaders in Li Xunlian's cognition.
He saw Baili Qingfeng at a small bun shop on the side of the road, and at this moment Baili Qingfeng was sitting with a group of children around a wooden table, on which were several drawers of steaming xiaolongbao.
The person who led the way wanted to pass through the Bailing breeze Li Xunlian arrived, but Li Xunlian waved his hand and signaled not to go, he wanted to see, he didn't know what he wanted to see, but he just wanted to see.
However, the person who led the way seemed to know what Li Xunlian wanted to see, so he smiled and went by himself.
How could he not know, because when he was desperate and decided to fall into the grass, the first time he went up the mountain was this reaction. Although Li Xunlian is not a coward, but when he sees something that violates cognition, no matter who it is, no matter what the reason, he will feel this way.
"Uncle Baili, didn't you say to carve a wooden sword for me, I have the little lock, but I don't have it yet. The little girl with a puffy face said to Baili Qingfeng while eating xiaolongbao, blinking her big eyes.
"You're a girl, what do you want a wooden sword for, that's what boys play with, and the uncle is carving a small wooden figure for you now, and it is estimated that it will be carved tomorrow." Baili Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Really, I knew Uncle Baili was the best!"
The little girl cheered, but the breeze warned her again and again, telling her not to shout when eating, and to be undignified or secondary, and it would be uncomfortable to choke.
However, the little girl also listened to the words of the breeze, so she stopped talking and concentrated on eating xiaolongbao.
That group of children seemed to like the breeze very much, and the uncle called it very sweet, Li Xunlian couldn't help but smile when he looked at it from the side, this kind of scene made him feel inexplicably quiet.
After eating for a while, the children finally ate enough, Bailing breeze called the store to give a few copper plates, at first the other party did not accept it, but in the end it was not able to resist him, so he had to accept it.
"Lao Chen, I said when will you be able to get rid of this problem. Bai Ling smiled lightly.
The owner of the bun shop touched his head and said: "We don't understand any big truth, but we know that you gave us this kind of carefree life, not to mention a few buns, even if it is fate, if the village is mainly taken, Lao Chen will never be ambiguous." ”
"What are you talking about!" Baili Qingfeng feigned anger, and then said: "But then again, if there is a day when you really need to fight for your life, I will not be polite to you." If there really is such a day, I must be not far from death with a hundred miles of breeze. ”
Lao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood. Bailing Light Breeze means that as long as he does not die, he will not let the ordinary people living in the village fight in battle.
"By the way, you have time to talk to Brother Zhao, every time I pass by Dongxiang, I can see him curled up in the corner, and he also put a broken bowl, and even opened his mouth to ask me for a few taels of silver. Baili Qingfeng suddenly thought of this and spoke.
Li Xunlian heard this, but he didn't understand it. How could such a person care about a few taels of silver, you know, everything here can be said to be given by Bailing Light Breeze, even such a thing as tranquility that cannot be measured by money, is there a few taels of silver and a few copper plates? Not to mention the meaning of his words, the other party should be a beggar, what does it matter if he gives alms.
Because of curiosity, Li Xunlian listened more attentively. I only heard Lao Chen sigh and said: "The owner of the village doesn't know, we don't have to reason with Zhao Liu, but he is such a person, he always thinks that you have endless money, so it doesn't hurt to give him some." But where did he understand that you were teaching him what he could get with his hands!"
"Don't don't, Lao Chen, you have lifted me, I don't want to teach him anything. I just think that as long as my hands and feet are sound, it is very easy to eat in this world, let alone in my village. He thinks about getting something for nothing, which makes me very angry. ”
Baili Qingfeng paused for a moment, and then said: "There are two kinds of people that I can't get used to the most, one is capable but inactive, and the other is incapable and still shouting." Brother Zhao is the first kind of person, I sympathize with him but it doesn't mean that I need to be responsible for him, I brought him back because I saw him give the only half of the litter to a dying puppy, but I never expected that even if he left the unfair world outside, he was still unwilling to be self-reliant. Alas!"
Li Xunlian listened from the sidelines, and he was deeply touched. The small world established by the breeze is simply an ideal paradise. However, not to mention growth, it is difficult to think of such a happy land to survive in troubled times, right?
While sighing, Li Xunlian also thought of two more realistic things. First, Baili Qingfeng seems to be a bit contradictory, on the one hand, he is trying to build a quiet and peaceful paradise for people, and on the other hand, he is trying to aggravate the arrival of the troubled times against the imperial court, what is the situation.
Second, he said that one of the two people he hated the most was incapable of shouting nonsense, which shows that this person had previously said that Li Xunlian's headquarters had been punished, and it seemed that it was really not as simple as a wild word......
