Chapter 44: Revenge
In Zhongzhou Wei's barracks, Di Choufei calmly listened to the reports of several generals.
Although he has not left the barracks for a single step these days, through the return of these henchmen, he clearly knows that Lin Xi has never clearly said that he is the one who killed Li Kaiyun behind the scenes in the past few days, but it has already made almost all the people in Zhongzhou City believe that he is the shameful betrayer.
"Do you want to bring the old man and the old lady to the barracks?"
A national-faced general who had just reported that Tang Wei was blocked by Lin Xi in front of Di Mansion frowned, looking at Di Choufei very worriedly and asked.
"Not at all. ”
Di Choufei shook his head sarcastically, "Hu Zhe, you are also the person who followed me from the Dragon and Snake Border Army when I was a captain, why did you get confused at this time, but forgot to fight against the enemy, you must not be led by the other party's nose, but you must win by surprise, and lead the other party's nose in turn." ”
"If you use such a thing as fame and prestige too much, it is easy to destroy all the previous accumulation. As long as I ignore him, as long as I continue to sit in this position, the longer the time passes, the more those people will doubt their previous judgment, and the more and more they will feel that I cannot be the one who betrayed Li Kaiyun. ”
"It doesn't matter the truth, because as long as it drags on long enough, the truth will naturally be annihilated in the years, and no one will care about it anymore. ”
Di Choufei laughed confidently: "After doing these things, he didn't dare to openly ignore the laws of Yun Qin after all, so he always made a small fuss, and he didn't dare to do anything really big." ”
After all, he is not Dean Zhang who entered Zhongzhou City back then. Di Choufei restrained his smile and sneered: "After all, he doesn't have a big black, so he can beat the invincible saint master in Zhongzhou City." ”
......
Early morning.
Lin Xi walked out of the Leaf Inn again.
He accompanied Fang Zhu to ask for two bowls of tofu flowers in front of a tofu flower stall in front of the inn, and learned the most popular way to eat in Zhongzhou City, went to the fritter stall next door and asked for two fritters, tore them and added them to the tofu flowers, and ate them slowly.
Fang Zhu's appetite was not very good, but Lin Xi was not satisfied, and asked for a few more stuffed flatbreads and a few fried radish cakes, and then sent Fang Zhu back to the inn, and then, as before, carrying a big iron box, slowly walked on the stone road in Zhongzhou City full of traces of the vicissitudes of time.
His pace is very light and slow, still like a traveler who walks all the way, sees all the way, and eats all the way.
However, everyone knows that he is taking revenge.
It was windy, and there was a slight snow in the sky.
Looking at the crystal particles sprinkled in the sky, Lin Xi thought of the Ten Finger Ridge in the Ascending Mountain Range, and thought of the half-snow cangyuan... I thought of Qingluan Academy, and I thought of many people who should and shouldn't die.
He looked along Suzaku Avenue and saw a lot of garbage piled up on the road at the entrance of Di's mansion, including useless broken bricks, rotten vegetable leaves, and leftovers.
Seeing the gate of Di's mansion, which had become a garbage dump, and thinking of the simplicity and clear love and hatred of these people in Zhongzhou City, Lin Xi's heart was slightly warm.
"It's just not enough. ”
He shook his head again, and then in this light snowy weather, he suddenly wanted to drink.
So he asked for a gourd of Zhongzhou soju in a liquor store along the street, held it in his hand, and drank it while walking into the alley next to it.
The liquor burned in Lin Xi's throat like a line of fire, burning in his stomach.
However, his heart was colder, and his eyes were colder.
"Endless wine in the cup, endless parting songs, uncontrollable swords, unattainable high-rise buildings, inexhaustible heroic blood, inexhaustible enemy heads..."
Then many people heard Lin Xi's cold and high-pitched singing.
Many people put down what they were doing and looked in the direction where the song came from, and they vaguely felt that Lord Kobayashi was about to do something.
There is a tall old locust tree in the alley.
Lin Xi, who was drinking and singing, walked under the old locust tree.
His toes were on the body of the old locust tree, as if he were walking on the ground, and he walked up the trunk of the old locust tree, and the old locust tree trembled slightly as if it was afraid of itching.
The top of the old locust tree can see the appearance of the entire Di Mansion.
Lin Xi drank the last sip of wine in the gourd, and then opened the big iron box on his back.
The moment the big iron box was opened, a powerful aura rose again in the icy air of Zhongzhou City, and many cultivators who were still staring at his every move were instantly cold.
Lin Xi hung the gourd on the branch of the old locust tree beside him, and then without the slightest stop, the soul power in his body erupted out, plucking the three strings of Da Hei.
Two black lines appeared in the snowy sky.
It's like two black cracks in the sky.
Two black lines fell into the backyard of Di's house.
At the far back of the backyard is a stable.
There are two very clean old horses with very bright coats in the stable.
Two holes suddenly appeared in the roof of the stable.
Before the snow fell through the hole, two black lines landed on the heads of the two old horses.
Then the heads of the two old horses exploded like a gourd filled with bright red wine.
The powerful force continued to descend, tearing the necks and bodies of the two old horses, and the broken flesh and internal organs of the two old horses sprayed out as much as they wanted, filling the room.
One of the Difu people closest to the stable was the first to react to what was happening, and a terrible cry came from the mouth of the Difu man.
......
This terrible scream is like the opening gong and drum sound of a big play.
The silence of a winter morning was broken in an instant.
The streets and alleys, which were originally extremely cold, were instantly filled with all kinds of sounds and countless fireworks.
Countless footsteps sounded, speeding through the alley.
Lin Xi rubbed his cold hands, sighed calmly, and then put away the big black and fell from the tall locust tree.
A cultivator wearing the official uniform of the Zhengwu Division was the first to appear at the end of this alley, but seeing Lin Xi's calm face, the footsteps of the Zhengwu Division's cultivator suddenly stopped, and he just looked at Lin Xi and the big iron box that Lin Xi was carrying with shock.
More people gathered at both ends of the alley.
There were many voices of heavy armor shaking like a tide.
A civilian general of Zhongzhou Wei had already received a reward from the population of Di Mansion, and knowing that General Di had been transported back from the Dragon Snake Mountains, the two old horses that he regarded as relatives and friends were shot dead in an instant.
In addition to being angry, the general in civilian clothes felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that Lin Xi must have gotten information about these two old horses, but he still couldn't imagine how Lin Xi could kill with one blow when it was impossible to see the two horses in the house from such a distance.
Lin Xi didn't seem to see these frightened officials and generals at all, and he didn't have the heavily armored cavalry blocking both ends of the alley at all in his eyes.
He calmly walked to one end.
Everyone on that end couldn't help but take a step back.
"Enough!"
An angry rebuke exploded in the air.
All the people who knew in their hearts that they were not qualified to do anything to Lin Xi were relieved in their hearts, and they all looked at the place where the reprimand came from, only to see Liu Xueqing coming out of the crowd and facing Lin Xi.
Liu Xueqing walked in front of Lin Xi and said angrily: "I know that Lord Lin has been arrested, and he is very familiar with the laws of Yunqin and knows how to use it, but it is not a gentleman's act to coerce public opinion with personal anger, and then he does it now. ”
Facing Liu Xueqing's anger, Lin Xi shook his head and said softly: "Lord Liu, I never thought I was a gentleman, I was just Lin Er. ”
"Drunk and wild, he dropped an arrow with the wrong hand, broke some roof tiles, and shot two horses, but fortunately there were no casualties, and according to the law he was to be fined some silver taels. After a slight pause, Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's best for Lord Liu to just say to Lord Di, I don't know if he wants to ask me to collect the fine in person." ”
Liu Xueqing was even more angry, but he couldn't hold back, lowered his voice with a little iron, and said in a low voice that only he and Lin Xi could hear: "I have tried to help you pass the news to Leng Qiuyu, I just want you to act in a measured manner, and don't fall behind the pretext of bullying the old and weak." ”
"In this city, I saw many things that I wanted to see, and I heard some useful truths... The years will tell. With a clear conscience, you don't have to think about anything else at all, just do what you want to do. Lin Xi glanced at Liu Xueqing, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I heard the news that Di Choufei is going to marry Leng Qiuyu the day after tomorrow." Now that you have passed on the real news to Leng Qiuyu, why is this marriage going to take place as scheduled?"
Liu Xueqing looked at Lin Xi and said, "Leng Qiuyu and Leng Zhennan are all in the original priest's courtyard in the palace. The saint decreed that Leng Qiuyu was named the princess of Tianwu, accepted as a righteous daughter, and gave marriage. I passed the message from the official who passed the decree. ”
"So it's very simple, there are only three possibilities, Leng Qiuyu knows, but he still wants to marry, Leng Qiuyu refuses to marry, but his mobility is limited, or the official cheats you. Lin Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since it is a marriage given by an important minister, it is impossible to secretly hide and not see the light." Where is the wedding taking place?"
Liu Xueqing looked at Lin Xi silently and was silent for a while.
"To this day, you should know something about me, too. And you should know that even if you don't tell me, I have my own way of knowing where the big wedding is taking place. Lin Xi looked at Liu Xueqing and said calmly: "I will definitely go to this kind of wedding." And I can guarantee that I will not hurt the innocent. ”
"Tell those officials and bigwigs in the military, don't think anything about me, don't try to stop me... Otherwise, I would have done something even more excessive than I did today. Lin Xi turned around in the light snow, "If you really want this Zhongzhou City to restore calm, your best way is to persuade Di Choufei not to hide in the barracks, and come out and talk to me clearly." ”
