Chapter 37: Li Jing and Red Whisk
A bloody plot.
Listening to Ji Ruyan explain the ins and outs of the matter in detail, Li Xuan suddenly had an absurd thought in his heart, if he went on like this according to the normal plot, would it be that after Shang Xiuxun learned of the sincere feelings between the two, the original unpleasantness finally turned into guilt and admiration, and then fell in love with each other completely? And then I have to have an extra mother-in-law who is younger than me?
Shaking his head, he drove this absurd thought out of his mind, and began to ask about some other things, and the sound of hooves sounded in the distance, but it was Zhao Min who rushed towards this side with two horses.
I haven't seen him for a few months, but Zhao Min is becoming more and more energetic, obviously during this time, his martial arts have improved a lot, but what makes Li Xuan even more sideways is Ji Ruyan, the second-order phoenix general, with 75 points of all attributes, and the realm of marksmanship has also been improved, this kind of leaping balanced development model, Li Xuan is still seeing it for the first time, if you continue to calculate it like this, the next advancement, I am afraid it will be 80 of all attributes, doesn't it mean that as long as you reach the seventh order, you will grow into a demon with full value of all attributes?
"Sure enough, after a few months of not seeing, my husband brought us back a sister, but I don't know what to call this sister?" Zhao Min's originally fiery expression cooled down after seeing Bai Qing'er, and he looked at Bai Qing'er with a smile.
"Little maid Bai Qing'er, I've seen the housemother." Without waiting for Li Xuan to answer, Bai Qing'er hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, I will have to beg for a life by Li Xuan's side in the future, and now I don't dare to hate the women around Li Xuan, I put my posture very low, not to mention, Bai Qing'er knows very well that with her own master's character, it is impossible for her to really show her skills as a demon girl in his backyard.
"Such a beautiful girl, but she is treated as a maidservant. You're really going to enjoy it. With a snort, Zhao Min looked at Li Xuan with a little resentment in his eyes, but his complexion eased a lot, and he waved his hand behind him and said, "Come, let the concubine introduce two capable people for her husband." ”
"Oh?" Li Xuan's eyes were looking behind Zhao Min, a man and a woman. The man's appearance is not outstanding, but his face is calm, and his eyes flashed with wisdom from time to time, but the woman is heroic, with a cold and glamorous atmosphere, her eyes flashed, exuding a compelling aura, she is actually a rare female master, and her strength is probably not under Zhao Min.
"Li Jing (Red Whisk) has seen the Sword Emperor." The two did not make a big salute. It was just a faint bow, obviously not officially recognizing Li Xuan.
"These two, but Sister Rong and I have finally left the talents for you, as for whether you have the ability to make them serve your life, it's up to you." Zhao Min snorted dissatisfied.
"Madame, it's good to have you." Li Xuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand. Gently hugged Zhao Min into his arms, without passionate gratitude. Because between them, there was no need for it, just a simple hug, but the grievances in Zhao Min's heart disappeared in an instant, and he quietly leaned on Li Xuan's arms. Enjoy the warmth that I haven't felt for a long time.
"It's good to know." Zhao Min blushed a little, but he was reluctant to leave that comfortable embrace, and snorted: "Don't let it go yet, everyone is watching!" Even if the enthusiasm of the children of the grassland is unrestrained, at this moment, they can't help but give birth to a little bit of the twisted attitude of the little daughter. Dissatisfied, he patted lightly in Li Xuan's arms.
Li Xuan smiled slightly, let go of the wife in his arms, looked at Li Jing and Hongfu, who were looking at his nose and nose, and said with his chin bowed: "Reunion after a long absence, don't be surprised by the gaffe." ”
"It doesn't matter." Li Jing smiled and said, "This is the true temperament. ”
The red-haired girl looked at Li Xuan, her eyes flashed, and she said in a deep voice: "I want to fight with you, if you can defeat me, then talk about other things." ”
Li Xuan's gaze swept over the other party's dusty hand, and said with a smile: "The girl has been injured recently, and now she will do it, it will be impossible to win!" ”
"Are you sure you can beat me?" Hongfu looked at Li Xuan and said coldly.
"Not really." Li Xuan said indifferently: "It's just that Li still disdains to do things that take advantage of people's danger." ”
"Okay." After a moment of silence, Hongfu said coldly, "Three days later, I'll come to you." ”
Li Xuan nodded, looked at Li Jing and said: "Although I don't know what Brother Li's talent is, but Madame's gaze is still very admirable. ”
"I don't dare to ask if I want to!" Li Jing smiled slightly, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the red-whisked girl on the side.
"Okay." The Red Whisk Girl's answer was very crisp and concise, and she didn't seem to notice Li Jing's gaze.
Huang Rong and Zhao Min's residence was arranged by Shang Xiuxun in the northwest corner of the inner fort, it is a separate small courtyard, the environment is quiet, the layout is exquisite, it can be seen that Shang Xiuxun still attaches great importance to these guests, in addition, it is Ji Ruyan's fifty subordinates, who are arranged in the outer fort, not far from here, these people are selected from the civil or chaotic army all the way, and then after Ji Ruyan's training, although the time is not long, and it is not Ji Ruyan's exclusive army, it is not elite, But it's also well-trained.
After a few months of separation, it is naturally a warm feeling, but after all, Huang Rong has passed the girlhood, and there is a lot more subtlety in her personality, but the concern passed between the eyebrows is more touching.
At the same time, Li Xuan also vaguely guessed that it seemed that things were not as bad as he imagined, and with his own god-in-law here, it was impossible to suffer at all, and in the current situation, Li Xuan was more interested in Li Jing, the most outstanding commander in this period in history.
"At present, the world is in turmoil, the princes are rising, not to mention the four major lords, Dou Jiande of Hebei, Li Mi of Wagang and Du Fuwei, the overlord of Jianghuai, are all heroes, since His Excellency the Sword Emperor intends to be in the world, what do you think of the situation in the world?" After three rounds of drinking, Li Jing finally took the lead in speaking, in this era, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king, especially Li Jing, an ambitious talent, has his own arrogance.
"As the pharmacist said, since Yang Guang's death, the chaos in the world has become a fixed pattern, but now that all the heroes are rising, it is not that the earlier you start, the more advantageous." Li Xuan smiled slightly, he had already experienced this kind of scene many times, but he had long lost that youthfulness, and said eloquently: "As far as the four major gate valves are concerned, Li Valve is entrenched in Jinyang, and now he has sent troops to Chang'an, with Li Shimin's ability, it is not difficult to take Chang'an, but it is precisely because of this that Li Shimin's army is powerful, but he is not the real heir of Li Valve, I have checked Li Jiancheng's information, this person is not inferior to Li Shimin in terms of courage or ability, and even stronger in civil affairs, but Li Shimin is eloquent and strategic, is not willing to live under the people, in the future, I am afraid that it will be another fratricidal situation. ”
"The imprint of the Yang family on Dugu Valve's body is too deep, although the wealth is strong, but congenitally insufficient, plus in the younger generation, except for Dugu Feng, there is no character who can take on the entire Dugu Valve, the best choice in the future is to rely on a certain force to survive, and it is too difficult to win the world."
"Besides, Yuwen Valve, Yu Culture and I don't know my own body, in this world, anyone can kill Yang Guang, but he Yu Culture is not good, although Yang Guang died at his hands, but as Yang Guang's minions over the years, he has long been disappointed, and it is even worse than Dugu Valve."
"As for the Song Valve, the valve owner Song Que is indeed a great talent, but unfortunately, the land of Lingnan restricts the development of the Song Valve." Shaking his head, Li Xuan didn't want to talk much about Song Valve, there was a battle between him and Heavenly Sword Song Que, but no matter who won or lost, the concept between the two was the same, and there was a great possibility between the two sides.
"As for the other princes, Wagangzhai was originally the one with the highest voice, but Zhai Rang is not dead, Li Mi's prestige has overshadowed Zhai Rang's prestige, there will be civil strife in the future, and it should not be far away."
"Hebei Dou Jiande first regardless of his ability, but there is a Turkic rebellion in the north, and the west is clamped by Li Valve, and the south is Wang Shichong's territory, even if he has the intention to seek development, but the other parties will definitely not let him get his wish, and he is not capable of fighting on multiple fronts, although he is a prince of one side, it is difficult to succeed."
"Jianghuai overlord Du Fuwei, although the momentum is great, but its essence has never changed, the habit of the green forest is too heavy, I am afraid that Du Fuwei himself, I have never thought of really fighting for the world!"
Taking a sip of fragrant tea gently, Li Xuan looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as it is a force, it is impossible to be unhindered, if Li Shimin is ruthless and immediately kills Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji by thunderous means, although it will be attacked by various public opinions in the short term, as long as this period of time passes, there will be no more constraints, as long as Li Mi can break through Luoyang, all problems will be solved." ”
Li Jing couldn't help but nod slightly when he heard this, he naturally knew what Li Xuan said, but just based on these, it was difficult for him to take the initiative to surrender, looking at Li Xuan and saying seriously: "According to the following, although His Excellency the Sword Emperor has excellent martial arts, but there is no foundation at the moment, how can he compete with the heroes of the world?" ”
This is a very practical question, Li Jing does not doubt that if Li Xuan announces his determination to dominate the world, with his current prestige, he will attract a lot of people, but the battle for hegemony is not a ruthless battle, territory, army, population, etc., are all key things, otherwise, no matter how brave Li Xuan is, he is just a lone husband.
"Whatever you say now, I'm afraid in the eyes of the pharmacist, it's just a big talk." Li Xuan smiled slightly, not angry, looked at Li Jing and said, "I don't know if the pharmacist is willing to wait for two months?" ”
"Oh?" Li Jing looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
"If within two months, if I can gather 100,000 soldiers and have a foundation that is strong enough to stand on, will the medicine man help me?" Li Xuan said abruptly.
100,000 soldiers?
Li Jing looked at Li Xuan with a confident face in surprise, although he didn't understand where the other party's self-confidence came from, but if he could really gather 100,000 male soldiers within two months, and obtain a foundation that was enough to stand on the world, it was enough to prove this person's ability, so what's the matter if he was loyal?
nodded immediately and said: "If this is really the case, Li Jing is willing to serve." ”
"Okay." Li Xuan smiled and said, "One word is a certainty!" ”
"It's a deal!" (To be continued......)
