Gong Tu took a step forward and came to Li Tiantu, and said in a low voice: "Landlord, Tian Yimo is barely a second-rate master, and it is easy to kill him." But the person standing behind him was Gongsun Zhi, the "Holy Mother of the Five Poisons" of Miao Jiang, that woman was extremely tricky, and even the masters of the land list did not want to provoke easily. Otherwise, the past deeds of the ghost-faced swordsman would have been secretly extinguished. ”

Granny Sun's original heart suddenly hung up again, "Our Lady of the Five Poisons" She didn't know who it was, but the top ten masters on the list of rivers and lakes didn't want to provoke her, and she understood this sentence. She thought that the person who killed her son and daughter-in-law was just an ordinary lone swordsman, but she never expected the background to be so deep. Grandma Sun is not a stupid person, she is clear in her heart, and she doesn't want to harm the kind-hearted young man in front of her who gave her life in vain, so her eyes became more and more dim, and the obsession that originally supported her to live gradually dissipated, and a dead air appeared on her whole body, and she accepted her fate.

Granny Sun's emotional changes made the three people who were close at hand feel the same way, and the despair and misery were beyond words.

Su Ling'er's eyes were red, and she said in a depressed mood: "Son, help my mother-in-law." ”

Even the indifferent Gong Tu was deeply infected, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

Li Tiantu shook his head secretly and laughed at himself: "Childe, do I look like a hard-hearted person? Old man, I have already received the money, and I guarantee that the ghost-faced knife Ketian Yimo who hurt your son and daughter-in-law will not live for three days. ”

Granny Sun, who was rekindled her hope, said timidly: "Childe, even if you can kill the ghost-faced swordsman, but can you deal with the Five Poisons Holy Mother behind him who is even feared by any of the top ten masters?" If you are implicated because of the old woman's affairs, and this bodhisattva-hearted female doll, the old woman's conscience is uneasy! ”

Su Ling'er, who knew her son-in-law's ability, comforted: "Mother-in-law, don't worry. If there are so many people in the rivers and lakes who are not afraid of the Five Poisons Holy Mother, they will definitely include our son-in-law. ”

Granny Sun ignored Su Ling'er's obstruction and was about to kneel down again, but she was tightly held by Li Tiantu, and she had to say in a trembling voice: "If the son can help the old woman avenge this monstrous revenge, the old woman is willing to repay the son for her kindness as a cow and a horse in the next life." ”

Li Tiantu glanced at Gong Tu and said lightly: "Is three days enough?" ”

Gong Tu hugged the "fish intestines" and said quietly: "Tian Yimo has a habit, once he commits a crime, in order to escape the pursuit of the government, he must take refuge in the 100,000 mountains of Miaojiang. Three days, I'll try my best. ”

He understands another meaning of Li Tiantu, and this time he is not without the meaning of testing. It wasn't too difficult for him to track down and kill a second-rate swordsman in three days. As for the Holy Mother of the Five Poisons standing behind Tian Yimo, although he had scruples, he was not afraid.

Li Tiantu spent a lively New Year quietly. In his memory, he had never been so comfortable before. He even hoped that such days would last forever.

However, before the first lunar month passed, the Tibetan people stole the relics of the floating slaughter of Goryeo to the Tubo royal court, and the whole country invaded the territory with 400,000 iron horsemen.

The Eastern Route Army promoted the general Vanaluo as the commander, and the national teacher Agaliming King supervised the army, and coerced 300,000 elite cavalry to commit Xiliang.

The Northern Route Army, led by General Lingyou, led 100,000 cavalry to attack the Anxi Protectorate.

In a hurry, the Celestial Empire had to take Xue Rang, the general of the auxiliary state, as the commander, and led 100,000 temporarily assembled soldiers and horses from all walks of life to go to Liangzhou, and controlled 30,000 soldiers from the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion during the war, with a total of 130,000 troops against the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Tubo East Route Army.

In addition, Li Daduhu, the protector of Anxi, gathered 60,000 Anxi soldiers to hold Qiuzi and wait for help.

At this point, the two neighboring countries, which had been peaceful for decades based on marriage and kinship, finally spread out the life-and-death war situation under the inducement of major complex factors.

After Li Tiantu got the news, he secretly sighed in his heart that his life that had been comfortable for a few days was still disrupted by the war.

Although he did not go to the front line this time, as the rear of the Celestial Empire, the stability of the Jingshi is the most important. Now the entire Jingshi and even the Celestial Empire are panicked, although the people of Pingtou do not have far-reaching vision, but just looking at the most intuitive comparison of troops is enough to make people frightened, 190,000 against 400,000, it cannot necessarily be said that there is no winning rate, but the winning rate is really not high, if it is not for the famous general Xue Rang as the commander, this battle is not even necessary to fight, and it is directly to seek peace.

Thinking about it, Li Tiantu was a little distracted, so much so that Su Ling'er put the teacup on the desk before he noticed it.

After Su Ling'er put down the teacup, she consciously stood behind Li Tiantu, and her light ten fingers danced on his shoulder. She could see that her son-in-law had troubles, and she also knew that what Li Tiantu needed most now was to help him relieve his pressure.

She doesn't want to talk too much, after all, men's affairs are still up to men, she just needs to do her part.

Li Tiantu sighed comfortably, doing too much of this kind of thing is addictive, he unconsciously wondered if his life was a little arrogant now, but he couldn't refuse. This person is born with a trace of inertia in his bones, and it is extremely difficult to change.

Li Tiantu squinted slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Are you waiting for Gongzi to speak by myself." ”

Su Ling'er, who had been silent for a long time, pursed her lips and smiled: "Childe, I didn't mean to. It's just that Ling'er can't guess why Childe is upset and doesn't dare to speak. ”

Li Tiantu was infected by Su Ling'er's smile, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, if even you are submissive in front of me, I don't know where to find someone to talk to." ”

The so-called high places are not cold, and Li Tiantu has a preliminary experience. His status is no longer what it used to be, and he has made more and more high-ranking officials and nobles, but there are almost no who can really make friends. The more you go up, the more lonely you feel, there are many rights and wrongs in the court, and Li Tiantu is tired of it although it has not been deepened.

Su Ling'er, who has been with Li Tiantu for a long time and has a good heart, suddenly felt a little painful in her heart, and her own son-in-law, who was originally high and powerful and seemed to be omnipotent, also had unknown sorrows.

Su Ling'er said quietly: "Childe, Ling'er naturally knows that you are worried about national affairs. Since ancient times, wars have suffered from the common people. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. Having said that, even if the battle is won, how many soldiers will not be able to return home for ten years, leaving only a blank of loess to slowly assimilate in the wind and sand outside the plug, and gradually disappear; Leaving his wife and children alone at home, he was lonely and self-pitying, and he was destitute. If you unfortunately lose the battle, you will lose a large number of mountains and rivers, the death of the soldiers will be meaningless, and the people behind you will also be displaced, bullied by foreign races, and even have the worry of extinction. ”

Su Ling'er is such a woman, Li Tiantu is not surprised, after all, although Su Ling'er's family is in the middle, the bloodline from the Confucian family is still there. It's just that a little woman can see through it, but there are still some high-ranking and powerful people who can't see through it, or, if they see through it, they deliberately pretend not to know, and there are more cold-blooded and ruthless people who don't take it as their responsibility to save the world, and they are selfish and ignore the people of the country for the sake of family interests.

As the great Confucian Su Wending of the previous dynasty said, "The world is a thing." Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. ”
