Chapter 120: The miserable white bones are meritorious
Everyone was taken aback and took a deep breath of cold air: I didn't expect King Luo to have this trick? King Luo is definitely terrible!
It is rumored that the reason why Li Zhenchen was able to subdue the Xiongnu at the beginning was because he was bold and calm, desperately sneaked into the Xiongnu camp, captured the high priest of the Xiongnu, and threatened to force him to submit, so that he could live and work in peace and contentment on the northern border today.
But in fact, there are some things that can only be understood by the powerful henchmen who follow Li Zhenchen all the year round. Li Zhenchen was brave and good at fighting, and was very appreciated by Emperor Zhen, so he sent him to garrison the northern border, and in the years on the northern border, he had learned the cunning and brutality of the Xiongnu, and fought several times, losing many generals and soldiers.
Looking at the mountains of corpses, his gloomy face was filled with cruelty, and he ordered a few henchmen to take advantage of the darkness of the night to secretly remove the clothes and armor of the dead corpses and expose the wilderness. The people under his command naturally did not dare to disobey, but they were all panicked and frightened, and if there were generals and soldiers who died in battle, Li Zhenchen ordered the corpses to be displayed, put into the grave, and sound the mournful sacrifice to comfort the unjust souls. This time, they really couldn't figure out why King Luo did the opposite?
Several henchmen stripped off the clothes and armor of the corpses, some died without blinking their eyes, some had severed hands and feet, and some were covered with holes, and the corpses died in different ways, which was unbearable to see. Under the gloomy and cold night, it was creepy, and several people were already frightened. Although he has fought for many years, experienced life and death, and seen the bones of countless enemies and friends, it is really humane to humiliate the dead in such a cruel way. What's more, these corpses had eaten with them at the same table before their deaths, fought side by side, and fought hard to kill the enemy.
If the soldiers in the camp knew about it, wouldn't they be indignant and chilling? But how dare they ignore what Li Zhenchen decides! I trembled and unloaded the armor of the corpse as he commanded.
Later, they learned that the reason why Li Zhenchen did this was to use dead corpses to raise insects, which could only survive on dead corpses and carrion after being poisoned. They can gnaw at dead bodies in an instant, leaving only bleak bones and a desolate wilderness. After feasting on the dead corpses, the insects were only red all over their bodies, and they were murderous and bloodthirsty.
Li Zhenchen put the fed insects into a special bamboo tube, changed into night clothes, and infiltrated the Xiongnu territory with a few henchmen.
The victorious Xiongnu barracks are celebrating in a big way, the bonfire is ignited, the naked arms are exposed, the waist is tied with a straw knee-covering skirt, and the traditional Hun hula dance is danced to celebrate the victory.
Li Zhenchen hid in the grass, took advantage of the Huns' carnival and slackness, and saw the opportunity, took out the bamboo tube, and poured out the insects. The insects that eat the dead are extremely sensitive, and they smell the smell of the human body, and they are as ecstatic as the thirsty and exhausted desert suddenly receives the nectar from the heavenly palace on earth. The insects tore swiftly and silently along the naked ankles of the Huns, hid into the flesh, and raged wildly.
In an instant, half of the reveling Huns fell to the ground and convulsed, letting out heart-rending screams, and died instantly.
Suddenly, everyone panicked, frightened and stunned, and fled one after another. I don't know who hoarsely cried: "Ah! We've killed too much, we've sinned so much, and those unjust souls have come to collect our debts..."
A bonfire hula dance celebrating the victory instantly turned into a catastrophe of terrible ghosts asking for their lives, and everyone howled and screamed, beating their chests and saying that they had been cursed by the enemy's bewitchment and curse, and led the ghosts to beg for their lives.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Zhenchen groped for the tent of the Huns' elders and priests, and left a letter to warn the Huns in a tone of calamity from heaven. The barracks retreated ten miles away, and from now on they must not breed trouble and provoke wars, otherwise disasters will continue to plague the clansmen and endanger their lives!
When the elders and priests saw the warning, they were naturally convinced, and they lit torches that night, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and sacrificed to the heavens. The next day, he moved his camp and retreated ten miles away, avoiding the border with the Sun Kingdom and quelling the war.
As everyone knows, the insects that eat the dead corpses become ferocious and bloodthirsty because of the poison, but after biting the flesh and blood of the living, the fresh flesh and the rotting corpse flesh collide with each other, causing the insects to swell and violent. Therefore, when the Huns fell to the ground and died, the insects that sneaked into the body also broke their stomachs and shed pus, rotting and stenching, and eroded into a pool of turbid black blood with the corpse.
However, the Huns thought that they had obeyed the mandate of heaven, and retreated from the camp, so that the lives of the rest of the people were left unharmed. Therefore, Li Zhenchen's meritorious achievements were Fengkai, and the title was added.
Back to the government, several powerful henchmen have been credited with Li Zhenchen, and they are also honored as officials. But every time I think of exposing the corpses in the wilderness and eating the dead corpses with insects, I shudder, and I am even more afraid of Li Zhenchen's cruelty, and I loyally support him to oppose the prince.
It is said that the people in King Luo's Mansion relaxed their mood, and finally did not have to worry about affecting themselves, it seems that supporting King Luo naturally has a chance of winning, but it is Zhao Yue, who blames him for embracing the wrong person.
Instantly, everyone was overjoyed, and there were many discussions, one after another:
"King Luo is wise, this plan is wonderful! The prince never imagined that there would be no way out this time. ”
The crown prince thought that if he insisted on opposing King Luo in the palace, he would be able to gain the support of the courtiers, but now the situation is different from the past. I don't know that he abolished the concubine and concubine, it has long been dissatisfied, and besides, he actually pretended to be a messenger for a woman and chased him to the Moon Kingdom, he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead! With the prince being so reckless and frivolous, how can he fight with King Luo? Hum! Boil the ocean. ”
"That's right! Is the prince such a dull and ignorant opponent of King Luo? Overestimate one's strength or oneself! However, did the crown prince bring back the beauty from the Moon Country? This is a dead end, if the details of the matter can be investigated, the prince's party may never turn over. ”
"Well, that's a strange thing! The prince did not hesitate to take the risk to chase after the Moon Kingdom, how could he be willing to return empty-handed? But... If you bring back the beauty, how can the Moon Kingdom give up? ”
Li Zhenchen lowered his face, picked up the teacup, played with the tea lid, gently shook the tea, and let everyone discuss it noisily. Suddenly, his heart moved, and the delicate and beautiful face appeared in his mind, which became clearer and clearer. Suddenly, he put down the teacup heavily, and the tea lid rolled off the table, and the tea spilled out, splashing the back of his hand. The sound startled everyone, and they stopped talking in panic, and they were stunned for a moment, and they all bowed their heads and were silent.
Li Zhenchen got up slowly, looked around at everyone with his eyes like a torch, and his calm voice slowly sounded: "It's late at night, let's wait for it to disperse!"
Everyone bowed their heads and wondered, they didn't know why King Luo's face changed suddenly and he was in a bad mood, but King Luo had always been uncertain and deep-minded, how dare everyone speculate, and after hearing the words, they left one after another.
After everyone dispersed, Li Zhenchen eased his face and sat alone in the hall, as if he was in deep thought. He frowned, narrowed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table with a second and second. Suddenly, he stopped his fingers, got up and left the hall, but headed in the direction of the Prince's Mansion.
Splendid Garden.
Su Liruo burned the letterhead of Master Wushuang, looking at the ashes in the iron basin, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the two masks in her arms, and sighed lightly.
On the ground, Su Liruo's eyes sank, and he swept into the curtain.
Li Zhenchen pushed the window and jumped in, and slowly walked indoors, as if entering a no-man's land. In an instant, the figure flashed, blocking the way.
Li Zhenchen stared at the white-clothed young man in front of him with angry eyes, the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of imperceptible meaning, calmly stretched out two fingers and gently flicked open the folding fan against his throat, glanced at her and said slowly: "Since the little boy is an elegant person, why is he so rude?" Could it be... The little boy's folding fan is just a pseudo-endowment! ”
Su Liruo was shocked, indeed, in order to prevent the unfathomable Li Zhenchen from coming to investigate again, she specially asked Zhao Zijin to ask Li Moxiao for a folding fan to cover up. Don't... What has he noticed? After thinking about it, Su Liruo's face did not change, put down the folding fan, and sneered: "Entering the room in the middle of the night, with ill intentions, but wanting to treat each other politely, it is ridiculous!" Don't... King Luo's etiquette and morality is to teach King Luo to be a rat? Entering and leaving Ben Gongzi's room so frequently, could it be... Fancy this splendid villa? If so, tomorrow... Say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and give it to King Luo, the king of Luo in the province is so sleepless at night! ”
"Hahahaha!" Li Zhenchen stretched his eyebrows, laughed heartily, and stared at the handsome and pretty face in front of him for a moment, and said slowly: "The little boy is wrong!" This king has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he only knows how to charge and kill the enemy, winning or losing. As for the etiquette and morality... It is suitable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has lived in prosperity for a long time. However, the king's sleepless thoughts are not this splendid garden, but because of the little prince, if His Royal Highness the prince is willing to part with love, this king should be like a treasure, treat it well... Treasure! You tell me... Little boy! ”
Su Liruo's face sank, he retreated vigilantly, quietly tightened his palms, and said coldly: "Since King Luo has great ambitions, he should plan for the world, but why is he talking so nonsense?"
Li Zhenchen's deep eyes looked at her with a smile and approached. "It's only strange that the little boy has disturbed the king, his heart is in turmoil, his ambition has long been exhausted, how to plan the world?" As he spoke, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath as if he were intoxicated, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It's so fragrant!"
Su Liruo's eyes swept over the cold murderous aura, soared into the air, turned over and split his palm, and angrily reprimanded: "Shameless!"
Li Zhenchen's heart was shocked: Why did his internal strength improve dramatically in just a few days? The palm wind is quite strong, and the palm power is also deep. He quickly leaned over to avoid it, popping up a few steps away, still grinning and saying, "Pianpian boy, how can you be so irritable and murderous? If the little boy is a beautiful girl, he can win the world with this king and have a glorious life..."
Su Liruo was secretly shocked in her heart: Li Zhenchen is really a terrible opponent! She landed gently, her palms shook, and the folding fan instantly slashed towards Li Zhenchen like a whirlwind.
Li Zhenchen was taken aback, he didn't dare to take it lightly, he leaned back, leaped away, but was a little embarrassed, maybe he didn't think that Su Liruo would hurt the killer.
Su Liruo stared at Li Zhenchen with a solemn gaze.
Li Zhenchen smiled thoughtfully, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the folding fan that fell to the ground, and said, "Little boy, what is this?" Do you want to poison this king? ”
Su Liruo's face was still cold, and he didn't say a word, just stared at him with a cold look.
"It seems that the little boy has a deep misunderstanding of this king!" Li Zhenchen completely ignored her indifference, and suddenly realized with hindsight: "Oh, it turns out that the little boy is angry that this king has disturbed Qingjing, and he is guilty of sin!" This king will take his leave, and the little boy will rest for a good life! As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, turned around calmly, and opened the door as calmly as before, but stopped wanting to play with his feet that stepped out of the threshold, turned around, glanced at her fixedly, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, this king will definitely keep his mouth shut for the little son, after all... Although this king is a martial artist, he still understands the meaning of pity and cherishing jade, how can he be willing to let the little boy suffer a bloody storm? I'll definitely visit next time..."Before the words fell, the figure swept away.
Su Liruo only heard the sound of the door closing, and Li Zhenchen was no longer visible. She stared at the closed door in shock, frowning and thinking: Li Zhenchen has something to say, he is not as simple as visiting the prince's mansion at night, is it... Has he seen a flaw?
Su Liruo pondered his words tonight, and knew in her heart that Li Zhenchen had already recognized her identity, it seemed that she had been exposed last time, if there was no frost-free master to help last time, I am afraid the consequences would be even more serious!
Su Liruo sighed helplessly, leaned on the head of the bed tiredly, and pondered with her cheeks: her identity has been exposed, so Li Zhenchen will never let Li Moxiao go. The reason why he did not move his troops must have a countermeasure, what means did he want to deal with Li Moxiao?
She wasn't worried about the conflict between Li Zhenchen and Li Moxiao, she wondered why Li Zhenchen didn't make a big fuss about her identity? If the courtiers knew that if Su Li stayed in the Prince's Mansion, he would be able to defeat His Royal Highness the Prince, why did Li Zhenchen give up such a good opportunity?
Su Liruo chuckled in her heart: Could it be... Li Zhenchen started with the people around the prince? Who will it be? Mr? Zimo? Zijin? Still is...
Su Liruo's mood suddenly became depressed, although she didn't know what means Li Zhenchen was going to use? But she still has a premonition that danger is imminent! At this time, she can only wait and see.
Sure enough, a few days later, Zhao Zijin angrily pushed the door in, sat down on the seat, grabbed the tea on the desk and drank it all, put down the teacup heavily, and still exhaled angrily.
Su Liruo was stunned, stunned at the entrance of the inner room, glanced at Zhao Zijin, and was inexplicably shocked: How long has it been since I saw her so real and bold? Maybe the first trip to Yueguo had exhausted all her pampering, making her grow sensible in an instant, and become cautious!
"Sister Ruo!" Zhao Zijin couldn't help but have hot eyes in his eyes when he was at a loss for Su Liruo, with crystal tears, and sobbed aggrievedly: "What should I do? What am I going to do? ”
"What's wrong?" Su Liruo's heart sank secretly, Zhao Zijin's abnormality surprised her a little, and she couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, she knew that Zhao Zijin was stubborn and arrogant in the past, just because she didn't like women's etiquette. After getting along for a while, she found that her whole person had changed, her mind was calm, and her demeanor was also down-to-earth. And in front of her, she was still angry, and she came in without even knocking on the door, which shows her anger. In an instant, tears rippled and Chu Chu cried pitifully, which made Su Liruo wonder and feel distressed.
"Your Majesty issued an order this morning to make me the lord of Wenyin, and I will be the envoy next month!" Zhao Zijin lowered her head and lowered her eyes, tears rolled down her clothes, and she got wet.
"What?" Su Liruo was shocked, ran to Zhao Zijin in three steps and two steps, pulled her hand, and asked anxiously, "Whose idea is this?" It is impossible for His Majesty to target you for no reason? Why should you be friendly with Rouran? What happened? ”
"I don't know!" Zhao Zijin raised his tearful eyes, slowly got up, shook his head and said, "I heard that a few days ago in the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Luo had a dispute over the matter of Rouran and kinship. His Royal Highness advocated sending troops to attack Rouran, but was ridiculed by King Luo, thinking that His Highness was only talking on paper and was vulnerable. King Luo proposed to make peace with Qin Rouran in order to conclude an alliance. ”
Su Liruo's heart moved, and her eyes flashed with doubts: How many days ago? Don't... Li Zhenchen left a few meaningful words that night detective that night, referring to Zhao Zijin and his relatives?
The reason why Li Zhenchen is hostile to Li Moxiao is naturally because of his desire for profit, and he wants to abolish the prince and replace him, but this person's ambition is probably not only that. What he really did should be to control the government, kill Emperor Zhen, and usurp power.
It seems that his first wave of attacks is Zhao Zijin! Who will be his next target? But one thing, Su Liruo is sure that no matter who Li Zhenchen attacks her, he will not let her go!
Su Liruo thought about it, calmed the emotional Zhao Zijin, told her to calm down for a while, and wait and see what move Li Zhenchen was going to take next?
After sending Zhao Zijin away, Su Liruo also left the room, found Su Xiru, and said categorically as soon as they met: "I need your help to get rid of Li Zhenchen!"
Su Xiru was stunned for a while, and glared at her in shock: "What did you say?"
