The rivers and lakes, which had just been calm for a while because of Qiao Feng's departure from the outside of the plug, set off waves again, but this time, both in scale and meaning, it was even bigger than the bloody storms set off by Qiao Feng before.

Following Bei Qiao Feng, another master in the Central Plains was forced away by his own people, but the difference is that Qiao Feng was forced to be cornered by his former brothers when he was wronged all the way and hit a wall everywhere, and he was disheartened, so he went to Saiwai, and this time, Nan Murong, who was as famous as North Qiao Feng in the past, walked above board, and wherever he passed, martial arts people were even more sandwiched to greet him.

They are both of different races, but the treatment they receive is very different.

In a big battle in Yanziwu, although under the oppression of Li Xuan, the Song army present chose to keep silent, firstly, for fear of retaliation, if these Jianghu people really retaliate, then there is really no lower limit, and secondly, they were also impressed by the courage that Li Xuan expressed at that time.

It's just that Song Jun didn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it, it was not only Song Jun who was present at the time, but hundreds of martial arts masters were also among them, and even participated in that battle in person, it seems that they forgot about it, or they didn't think that these people would report their family background, in short, Li Xuan didn't deliberately ask these people to keep it secret at that time, and the final result was that some of them shared this secret that they were proud of with their friends, so that right now, the battle of Yanziwu, which should have been extremely secretive, It has completely become the talk of people in the rivers and lakes after dinner.

As for what kind of consequences this will cause, at least for now, the imperial court has not taken any action, not that it is unknown, but the matter is too wide-ranging, and there are many big factions with far-reaching influence in the local area. Even if the bigwigs in the court have never taken these people in the rivers and lakes in their eyes, but now, in the face of forces that are almost all over the rivers and lakes, they have to choose to temporarily calm down.

However, with the means of the imperial court's rebellion against its own people, even if there is only a sign of this possibility of survival, it is impossible to completely calm things down. With Murong Fu and his entourage heading north without danger under the cover of people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, plus the current internal problems in Western Xia, they were unable to look eastward, which made the pressure on the imperial court much less, but the energy vacated was not used to fight against the increasingly powerful Liao State.

After all, the current small friction between the two sides has almost never been broken, but the big battle has not been over for a long time, so in the eyes of the officials, driving away the troubles is the most important thing to do at the moment.

There was something wrong with the Western Xia. Naturally, there will be no more time to come to blame the Great Song Dynasty because of the problems of Yipintang in the past, and Murong Fu went north, it seems that he is preparing to leave the Song Realm.

If it was not long ago, this would naturally be a happy result, but now, with the melee in Swallow Dock, this nature has become different.

A battalion of men and horses was completely annihilated. For the Great Song Emperor, who held a million soldiers, this was a loss. In fact, it is nothing at all, as long as he is willing, and he doesn't even need to move his mouth, someone will quickly replenish the lost troops, but in its own sense, it is a little different in nature.

For the people of the rivers and lakes. Li Xuan's actions were naturally not wrong, whether it was the extermination of the Xixia Yipintang or the battle in Yanziwu not long ago.

Xixia Yipintang, rampant in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, as an envoy, that is, a guest. But he ran to other people's homes to be powerful, this kind of thing, no one will have any good ideas, let alone unruly, advocating freedom, and even more people who talk about the uneven road and pulling out swords to help each other all day long?

The extermination of Xixia Yipintang is not only true, but also a great pleasure to kill.

As for the battle of Yanziwu after that, in the final analysis, it is just self-preservation, even if the blood flowing in the bones is not pure, but as Li Xuan said, born in the Great Song Dynasty and grew up in the Great Song Dynasty, people have never done a thing to be sorry for the Great Song Dynasty, but it is just because they are not used to seeing outsiders running rampant on their own territory, burning and looting and making righteous moves, but in the end they will be killed, and the rabbits will bite people when they are anxious.

As a result, the entire battalion of officers and soldiers was defeated, and even the few men and horses who fled back in the end were all released with kindness, and in this case, what is there to complain about.

Especially in the end, Li Xuan's words on his shoulders won the hearts of the people, although the reward issued by the imperial court to Li Xuan was doubled, but at this moment, there are few people in the rivers and lakes who have asked about that kind of thing, and those who really have this ability pay more attention to their own face problems, such as beggars and Shaolin, they will not do things that destruct themselves for that bit of bounty, and those who covet these bounties often can't get on the table.

But this kind of thing, in the eyes of the imperial court, has changed in nature, and the height of the station is different, and the angle of looking at the problem will naturally not be the same.

Although Jianghu people also pay attention to fame and fortune, and they are also good-looking, most of the time, once things like morality occupy the main place, it still makes sense, this is the righteousness in the hearts of Jianghu people.

But in the eyes of the real superiors, the so-called righteousness, in the final analysis, is just such a banner, especially when the world is peaceful, he should be the righteousness, and other so-called righteousness have to stand aside, and after the battle of Yanziwu, even if he didn't take this matter too seriously at the beginning, but with the loss of that battalion, the nature of many problems has changed.

When did the Jianghu people also have the ability to compete with the imperial army?

For the imperial court, this is a dangerous signal, many things, in the minds of these people, will become countless times more complicated, and many things that will not appear will basically appear.

Although today is only a small loss of a battalion of men and horses, counting those who were released, the real loss of soldiers and horses is actually only a few hundred, but today it is a few hundred, who knows if it will be a few thousand tomorrow? Tens of thousands?

Although due to the wide range of involvement, the imperial court did not immediately take action against those people, but secretly, it has begun to start the layout, and the target is not only those masters who participated in the battle of Yanziwu, the emperor obviously also has the intention to take advantage of the calm time of the current border to do something big that is beneficial to the country and the society, and now these gangs and gangs that do not listen to the orders of the imperial court must be sorted out.

After all, there are illegal armed forces in their own country who do not respect the orders of the imperial court, and they may not think so before the problem broke out, but now, after the battle of Yanziwu, the problem that was originally no problem has completely exploded.

The emperor is usually suspicious, especially when it comes to the big chair under his buttocks, whether he is mediocre or wise, he will not be too calm, and now this Great Song official is obviously guilty of a similar problem, and he began to be suspicious of these things, plus there is no need for Li Xuan to deliberately arrange it, and a group of smart people around him have begun to follow his will to add oil and vinegar, so that the whole court has become wrong now, the most obvious thing is that the attitude towards the Jianghu people has begun to be unprecedentedly tough.

As for Li Xuan's words on one shoulder, it is undoubtedly very touching to the people of the rivers and lakes, which makes Li Xuan stand up as a righteous man in the hearts of most people in the hearts of the rivers and lakes, but in the eyes of the real party Li Xuan and the imperial court, it is not the case at all.

Li Xuan himself is already a famous person on the black list of the imperial court, and when the sea fishing documents are flying all over the streets, it doesn't matter whether he bears it or not, and he doesn't have to be pressed if he has a lot of debts, which is probably the reason.

As for the eyes of the imperial court, this issue of conviction should have been decided by the imperial court, when will it be your turn to be a warrior and reckless man? Is this kind of thing something you can bear if you say you can bear it? Isn't it up to us to decide in the end?

The court began to take advantage of this rare holiday to prepare to start rectifying the rivers and lakes, and those people in the rivers and lakes were inexplicably involved in this battle, which made the court hold a grudge, but in the end they still owed Li Xuan a debt of affection.

Yanmen Pass

A kick kicked the generals who were ordered to come to chase and kill him, and some greedily sucked a mouthful of the heroic air in the dry north, Li Xuan turned his head, looked at the large number of people behind him, raised the steel knife in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, from now on, we are free!" ”

"Roar~"

In response to him, more than a thousand heroes who survived the catastrophe howled excitedly.

Although on that day, most of the Jianghu people chose to acquiesce to Li Xuan alone to bear the anger from the imperial court, but there were also many people who were impressed by Li Xuan's courage and directly chose to join Li Xuan's command and run away with Li Xuan.

As a result, along the way, although he continued to fight with the Song army that pursued him, there were more and more people around him, and now, he has successfully broken through the barrier of the Yanmen guards, and more than 1,000 heroes have gathered around him.

These heroes are not the rabble outside the swallow dock in the past, although there are many dangers and obstacles, and many masters who have defected to themselves have been lost, but after the run-in along the way, the more than 1,000 masters around him have been honed by Li Xuan to become an elite soldier who can meet any challenge.

"Lord, where are we going?" At this moment, these more than 1,000 masters had already been convinced by Li Xuan and swore allegiance, but at this moment, looking at this Guanwai, which was very different from the prosperity of the Central Plains, he couldn't help but feel at a loss.

"Nanjing, there is my Murong clan's property there, which can be used as a temporary place for us to settle down, as for the future, we have to look at it again." Judging from the information collected from all sides, the king of Chu has begun to plan a rebellion, and there will undoubtedly be the most ideal place for him to establish a career in this plane.
