Chapter 266: Battle
Duan Pingsheng looked at Li Changlin and greeted lightly: "My nephew has seen the second uncle." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Don't dare to be."
Li Changlin, who was holding a knife to cut mutton, didn't think much about Duan Pingsheng, so he didn't raise his head, he ate meat with great concentration, and just replied lightly. As for his answer, why is he "dare not be"?
Because Duan Pingsheng's rise was too fast, which directly led to the division of the palace, after leaving the Thorn History Mansion before, he took a detour back to the Wuyou Palace, and listened to the depressed Song Zhi crying, and the more he discovered Duan Pingsheng's recent situation, he knew that if he came back later, I am afraid that there would really be a second voice in this palace.
Another reason is that Duan Pingsheng said something outside the border barracks, one day he will return to military power?
Li Changlin slowly chewed the tender mutton in his mouth, only to feel that Duan Pingsheng's daydream had made him completely crazy.
Since the banner of the Changlin Army replaced the Four Banners of the Martial King, Li Changlin is the unique master of this army, and it is impossible for anyone to challenge his authority! He only regarded the recent changes in Duan Ping's life as a dying struggle, after all, Qingluan's wedding date was lowered, and if he didn't jump over the wall in a hurry, he could only accept the end of death.
It's just that don't you think it's a little too late?
Li Changlin looked at Duan Pingsheng, whose face remained unchanged, took a sip of wine gently, his eyes narrowed, and then he took a serious look at Duan Pingsheng, and a lingering figure flashed in his heart.
Duan Pingsheng looked calm, and asked lightly, "Why don't you dare?" β
Hearing this, Li Changlin snorted: "Since you have been obsessed with literature and Taoism for five years, why do you have to fight to the death at the last moment?" After five years of hibernation, does it really make you feel confident that you have turned the sky upside down? β
"Since the collapse of the palace, my nephew has dreamed in the buried building for five years, and when he woke up from a dream, he naturally didn't want to fall asleep again." Duan Pingsheng said lightly, "As for the second uncle's mouth, my nephew dared to ask, is this the heaven of the palace or the heaven of the Tang Dynasty?" β
The heaven of the palace is his Li Changlin, and the heaven of the Tang Dynasty is naturally the Tang Emperor who is high above.
For Li Changlin, Duan Pingsheng's first sentence made him scoff, in his opinion, five years of sinking/falling is the real move to accept reality, and now is to have an unrealistic Spring and Autumn dream.
As for which heaven it turned over?
Li Changlin drank all the wine in the cup: "For you, is there any difference?" β
Duan Pingsheng stood with his hands in his hands: "It's very different! If my nephew turns over the Tang Dynasty now, even I know that it is a fool's dream, but if it is the heaven of the palace, my nephew still has some confidence. β
"Hah!"
Li Changlin shook his head with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are still dreaming." β
"The second uncle has just come back, and he still doesn't know the situation in Youzhou, whether he is a fool or not, and he is not in a hurry to draw conclusions as soon as possible." Duan Pingsheng looked at Li Changlin with burning eyes, "If the second uncle really thinks that his nephew's daydreams are a bit funny, why don't you let me continue to live in my dreams in the last ten days?" β
"It's better to break this dream sooner!" Li Changlin threw the cut mutton into his mouth, "I led the troops to the border for just over a month, and you made the house restless, I heard that most of the nobles in Youzhou City are also dissatisfied with you, so for the rest of the day, you should stay in the palace and read the book again, maybe you will have new insights." β
"Second uncle, are you scared?"
Duan Pingsheng smiled slightly, and Li Changlin shook his head lightly: "It's just troublesome, some of the incidents you have caused have caused me a lot of unnecessary trouble, just right, you came to see me today, come back with me later, there is a place where you can read quietly." β
Hearing Li Changlin's answer, Duan Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, this place must be a deep dungeon in the palace, it seems that this general is ready to erase the hidden danger early!
However, Duan Pingsheng was unmoved by Li Changlin's threat, because no matter how strong Li Changlin was, he couldn't be stronger than the Sect Master, and he could leave safely no matter what. And Duan Pingsheng's goal was not to come to Li Changlin to confront him head-on, after the initial verbal temptation, he finally put forward his request: "Second uncle's kindness, my nephew understands it, but what is the outcome of this dream, my nephew still wants to see it with his own eyes." β
"You're not dead?"
Li Changlin seemed to be tired of Duan Pingsheng's calm posture, and Duan Pingsheng took the opportunity to say: "My nephew promised the three hundred border troops that they would be able to live happily before returning to the border pass, so this time, my nephew wants to bring them back." β
"Dreaming!"
Li Changlin said categorically, that is his soldier, he can only give the order, and it is absolutely impossible to take away the three hundred soldiers from him.
Faced with the general's tough answer, Duan Pingsheng was not in a hurry: "Why did the second uncle refuse so quickly? The nephew can negotiate the conditions, and the second uncle must also know that now I am surrounded by some masters who can be seen or invisible, even if the second uncle does it, it is impossible to capture me back to the dungeon, so why not make it convenient for the second uncle to let me take those soldiers away......"
"You're going back to the palace with me?"
Li Changlin snorted, and Duan Pingsheng smiled faintly: "Of course not, the second uncle has been waiting for so many years, isn't it just for the legend that spreads in the Qingluan Palace?" The nephew promised that on the day of the wedding, he would accept all arrangements and would not delay the second uncle's plan. β
"Huh!" Li Changlin smiled disdainfully, "I can't be satisfied with such conditions, no matter how stubbornly you resist at that time, you can only obey my arrangement, and if you want to negotiate, change the conditions as soon as possible." β
Duan Pingsheng knew that Li Changlin had also prepared for Qingluan's wedding for five years, and even the Tang royal family, which had not been triggered, was waiting for that day to come, so that the final sword would be dropped on the Wuwang Mansion. In the limited time, he did gather some strength, but if he wanted to resist Li Changlin, it may still be a little insufficient. Of course, he can also use suicide to blackmail the other party, but both Duan Pingsheng and Li Changlin know that this is the most stupid way to do it.
The conditions he proposed were erased by Li Changlin lightly, Duan Pingsheng didn't care, he believed that Li Changlin, who had already relented, would choose to accept his conditions, but this condition must be very dangerous to him.
And Li Changlin didn't want to waste too much time on Duan Pingsheng's body, so he gently put down the knife in his hand, raised his hand and pointed to the three hundred punished soldiers outside the camp: "Do you see those people?" Fifty lashes per person is not a pleasant taste, and I am not prepared to waste gold sore medicine to treat their injuries, anyway, most of them are dead, and it is not impossible to negotiate with you. β
Li Changlin slowly stood up, his strong body made Duan Pingsheng have to look up, and he waved his fist lightly: "Then let's do it, I don't want to see you continue to dream, so I just take this opportunity to wake you up." I can order the flogging to stop now, if you want to take them back, you must fight with me, of course, I will not be able to bully you openly, you take those three hundred people and Jia Longyang to confront the fifty pro-troops under Yao Sha. β
"If you win, you take people away, and if you lose, you obediently go to the dungeon to read for ten days! What do you think? β
After speaking, Li Changlin looked at Duan Pingsheng with a sneer, a little provocative, this is his condition, and as he said, he did not bully Duan Pingsheng openly, but just firmly occupied the top in the dark.
On the surface, it is 300 people against 50 people, but don't forget that the 300 sick people have already suffered more than half of the whipping, and the combat effectiveness that is already weaker than the pro-army is greatly reduced. Moreover, Li Changlin also wanted everyone to know that following Duan Pingsheng was a completely wrong decision, and the ending was like the end of those three hundred soldiers.
He wanted to use this opportunity to strengthen his authority once again.
As for Duan Pingsheng, it is only about the fate of going into the dungeon and waiting for death.
But the only problem was that Li Changlin didn't think that Duan Pingsheng would accept this condition, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the balance of victory was completely tilted in his favor. Unexpectedly, Duan Pingsheng agreed without saying a word: "Okay!" The second uncle's conditions, the nephew can accept it, I win, people take it away, you win, you can dispose of it! β
Li Changlin raised his eyebrows, feeling that Duan Pingsheng seemed to have burned out his brain because of a dream, he secretly laughed to himself, and immediately shouted outside the tent: "Assistant! β
At this time, the captain outside the door shouted the word "thirty", which also means that the three hundred soldiers have suffered a full thirty lashes, everyone heard Li Changlin's voice, and immediately showed a look of happiness, but the scars on his back completely covered it up in an instant.
However, these three hundred soldiers, along with all the pro-guards, were thinking about why Li Changlin, who had always given orders, suddenly changed his words, and then saw Li Changlin walking out of the camp with Duan Pingsheng, and said in public: "Yao Sha, you take fifty brothers and practice with my nephew." β
After speaking, Li Changlin walked straight back to the tent and didn't say a word more.
It can be seen how confident he is in this negotiation.
The lieutenant Yao Sha was a little confused, but he still followed Li Changlin's wishes, selected fifty good men from the subordinates in charge of guarding, and immediately walked to the venue in front of the camp. At this time, Duan Pingsheng was explaining the true situation to Nian Nujiao, Jia Longyang, and the three hundred relieved border soldiers.
Hearing that Duan Pingsheng agreed to Li Changlin's conditions, almost everyone felt that Duan Pingsheng was crazy, and with their three hundred scarred sick numbers, they wanted to kill the fifty elite soldiers led by Yao Sha? Not to mention others, even the three hundred soldiers felt that this was impossible, they could still move on their own now, but the back injury was destined to have a major impact, just grinning and enduring the severe pain was enough, how could they fight with the opponent?
Duan Pingsheng ignored this, and just whispered to Jia Longyang, and the palace commander gritted his teeth and began to shout loudly.
Jia Longyang had already established his prestige in the hearts of the three hundred people, and when he ordered the names of those who were promoted to officers by him, even if the three hundred men were reluctant, they could only endure the pain and accept the transfer, and do their best to stand in a fairly orderly queue and listen to Duan Pingsheng's last lecture.
"This battle is not only about the life of this king, but also determines your fate, if you win, I will invite the best doctor in Youzhou City, and then pay the money to let you go to the city to live happily for a few days, if you lose, you must have guessed, without the remaining twenty whips, you will die here."
Duan Pingsheng's voice was low, which made the eyes of the three hundred border troops darken, this was a collision of real swords and guns, a confrontation that decided life and death, no matter how bad their current situation was, no one was willing to accept the fate of doomed death. Of course, some of them had excellent physiques and didn't think that they would die because of the whipping, but if they really followed Duan Pingsheng into the game, death was inevitable.
One of these people had a big temper, and without waiting for Duan Pingsheng to finish speaking, he shouted directly: "Hmph! You just move your mouth, it's us who fights life and death! β
"Presumptuous!" Jia Longyang glared at the person who spoke, "Wang Sheng, don't be rude!" β
The thorn named Wang Sheng took a step directly and glared at Duan Pingsheng angrily: "Why do we lose our lives because of you?" Even if you lose, you'll only be in jail for a few days, but we'll have to report to the Netherworld! β
Wang Sheng's words made Yao Sha, who was waiting beside him, laugh directly, and he said impatiently: "Is it still comparable?" It's better than admitting defeat directly! Let them finish the remaining twenty lashes, and live and die, lest they die because of a certain waste. β
Jia Longyang glared at Yao Sha angrily, and wanted to move to take down Wang Sheng, who was making trouble, but Duan Pingsheng waved his hand to stop him.
"This king didn't say that he was just moving his mouth, and after a while, I will also play in person." Duan Pingsheng looked at Wang Sheng lightly, "Don't worry, this king will rush to the front, and he will not be a turtle with a shrunken head." β
That Wang Sheng moved his mouth, and seeing that Duan Pingsheng was extremely determined, he had to grit his teeth and retreat.
And Duan Pingsheng also made a final statement to all the border troops: "If you don't want to die like a woman, you should grasp the weapons for this king, and save the time to lose your troops and unload your armor." β
The three hundred soldiers were silent when they heard Duan Pingsheng's words, they still didn't understand why Duan Pingsheng pinned his fate on their wounded soldiers? Is it because of conceit and high martial arts? But the fifty guards led by Yao Sha are not weak, the realm is all the same in the second building, even if he is strong, can he fight one and two, and can he fight five and ten?
You must know that the fifty well-trained pro-guard troops are not ordinary stragglers, forming a battle formation with both offense and defense, and ordinary warriors can only be discouraged or kill themselves, but the appearance of Duan Pingsheng made them realize that this prince, who was no longer a waste, suddenly became extremely crazy.
And they could only obey Jia Longyang's orders in a daze, pull away from the opponent's formation, endure the pain behind them, and clench the weapons in their hands.
Captain Yao Sha looked at the three hundred border troops with scattered eyes, raised the long knife in his hand, and laughed cruelly: "Little ones, it's time to let some smash know the price of the wrong person!" β
