In the spiritual platform, everyone looked at the picture in front of them and began to split into perspectives. is not only limited to Li Changsheng, but also to other seemingly irrelevant people.

And the direction of things was somewhat unexpected by them, Li Changsheng did fall to the bottom, and he was indeed thrown high. But it's too natural, and it's not like there's a mysterious being interfering with it.

Not bad enough.

The Soul Searching team had studied illusion, and they knew very well how to break a person's heart. The easiest way is to go up and down, and when it falls, it must be tragic enough.

There are two formulas, gain and loss, and ask for but can't.

But Li Changsheng fell too naturally, strong enough, but definitely not miserable. At least there are people who die for him, at least those soldiers still recognize him as a general, and at least the people in the world still know how good he is.

If they were allowed to come, they would definitely make everyone betray Li Changsheng and then kill him.

The captain suddenly asked Su Yuanming inexplicably: "Why don't you kill Li Changsheng at this time, is it to let him go back to his hometown and kill him after knowing the truth?" Arranging this play in this way will only make him relieved, not tragic enough. ”

"You ask me? How do I know?"

Su Yuanming's heart was full of doubts, and he soon had an answer. The mysterious existence that cannot be seen or touched in his body seems to be like a weak artificial intelligence in his mobile phone.

[Transferring flowers and grafting, pressing people with reality, doing more and making more mistakes and doing less is good. 】

[This is a dream for Li Changsheng, but it is also a reality. His dream only thought that Wei Pingchuan was Li Changsheng, and the rest were true, so he could deceive him. Even if it is at its peak, my law cannot affect tens of millions of people, and it is still separated by yin and yang, spanning thousands of miles. 】

[Ups and downs are impermanent, and honor and disgrace are silent. Ordinary red dust is the sharpest knife tip in the world, even if you have all kinds of skills, if you don't have God's help, you will end up in pieces. Li Changsheng got the position of champion and had no chance, how could the peasant people be virtuous, and the poor family did not enter the four grades. 】

[It's not that the demon doesn't want to, but Li Changsheng's life is fixed, and the success you see is just a strong man who changes his life against the sky. Those who influence mortals in power with greed and hatred cannot affect tens of millions of mortals, nor can they affect the hearts of the people in the world. 】

Su Yuanming, as always, told these memories, which can be regarded as answering the questions of the soul searching team.

It's not that a mysterious existence wants Li Changsheng to have a smooth ride, but that there is nothing to be done. He almost reached the limit of mortals, the time and place were favorable, and he did not fight, but in the end he won the hearts of the people.

Suddenly, Su Yuanming spoke again: "The skill is a hundred steps behind, but there is still a final blow." ”

——

In the palace, the news of the failure of the interception soon reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, was furious.

"Rubbish! A group of things that eat dry rice, 100 people can't kill an old guy who is not confused! If a hundred people can't be killed, then a thousand, and if one thousand is not enough, ten thousand! Send the three battalions of Dongcheng to kill him in a hurry! ”

The emperor's roar caused the palace ladies and eunuchs to kneel, and the palm seal eunuch bowed his head and was silent, and did not follow the emperor's order to draw up the holy decree. Just quietly waiting for the other party to finish his anger, and the fear that is covered up with rage.

He has been His Majesty's companion since he was a child, and he knows the character of this master very well.

Emperor Taishang said that he had the talent of a high ancestor, was calm, and knew the emperor's mental skills. is an excellent king, and it is precisely because of his excellence that he can't tolerate Li Wuqu. It has been a tradition since ancient times, and a qualified emperor will not allow the existence of a military force that is not under his control.

The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden.

With such a rule, it naturally makes sense to repeat the cycle.

For the sake of the stability of the country, what about killing a general with martial arts?

The eunuch sighed secretly, in fact, he didn't want to believe that Li Wuqu would rebel, after all, the emperor had issued a holy decree to support the orphans. If Li Wuqu wants to rely on this holy decree, he can directly enter Guanzhong to change the dynasty.

And he also used the past few decades to destroy several countries in a row to prove that he has the ability and prestige to change the dynasty.

In particular, the rebellion of the kings broke out in the middle, and the Beijun Tiger Leaping Horse ran directly to the capital, only one step away from the throne. But Li Wuqu did not trespass, and even the capital did not go further. It's just that after pacifying the kings, he returned to Beijun overnight.

After that, the emperor also trusted Li Wuqu and fully supported the other party in several wars of annihilation.

But today's emperor doesn't think so, which may be mixed with the reason why the crown princess was given death. But from the emperor's point of view, Li Wuqu, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, should be killed, or at least put under house arrest.

It's a pity that if Li Wuqu hadn't insisted on leaving the capital, things wouldn't have gotten so far. He can enjoy his old age in peace and enjoy all the glory and wealth in the capital. Even with his physique, it is not impossible to continue the incense.

At that time, it will be another gatekeeper.

When all the items on the table were thrown to the ground, the emperor finally controlled his emotions. With his eyes slightly closed, his breathing gradually calmed down, and when he opened his eyes again, he had regained his calm.

He said: "Eunuch, I want to kill Li Wuqu to keep my country stable. But after all, General Li Lao is the pillar of my Wu Dynasty, and he has made countless contributions, saving the world from fire and water several times. ”

For the monarch, the country and the society are important, and the rest can be thrown. But the emperor wanted both a good reputation and a good reputation.

Therefore, this kind of thing should be proposed by the courtiers, and the eunuch is also a good person, and immediately understood the meaning. It is the duty of a personal eunuch to take the blame for the emperor, and now is the time to use him.

However, the eunuch did not immediately agree, but slowly knelt down and kowtowed, and at this moment, the emperor's eyes looked at him extremely cold.

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that General Li has no heart to rebel. According to the reports of the forbidden army and post stations escorted along the road, General Li did not mean to return to Beijun, but went all the way south. There are many wealthy merchants in the south, and there are no soldiers from the northern county in the whole world, and the general is indeed home. ”

The eunuch's words made the emperor ponder, the forbidden army may falsely spread information, but the post station and local yamen will not. Moreover, there are no soldiers of the northern county in the south, and half of his capital are soldiers or descendants who were stationed in the northern county back then.

If Li Wuqu really had no intention of returning to Beijun, then he might be safer in the south than in the capital.

Seeing that the emperor was pondering, the chief eunuch couldn't help but add fuel and continued: "Let the forbidden army kill General Li, maybe it will be rebelled, it is better to hand it over to the families in the south, they did not suffer at the hands of Li Wuqu back then. Those who are upright and upright will set themselves on fire. ”

The emperor's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he said in a pretentious gesture: "General Li has been fighting for many years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, and now he should enjoy glory and wealth when he returns to the field." Reward him with 20,000 horses of silk and 100,000 pieces of gold, and send them to him. ”

"Yes."

The eunuch secretly wiped his sweat, and he was spared infamy.

——

A tributary of the Taojiang River, a water town of the Tianhe River.

Golden rice paddies stretch endlessly, and a boat sails across the river. The boatman was a thin old man with a long foot in his hand stirring the river and drifting down the river and out of the estuary.

Gradually, the surroundings became wider, and when you looked up, you could see a towering huge city, with more large and small ships than fish on the docks, and the bearer was like ants carrying countless grains and rice, treasures from all over the world. And half of these things were to be transported to the capital for the pleasure of the princes and nobles there.

The boat did not take the river road, and went straight into Tianhe City, only to see the people on both sides of the strait boiling shops.

"Hero, hero, Tianhe City has arrived?"

The boatman turned his head to look at the figure in the canopy, he was a strong man, holding a sword and a hat, and his head was slightly drooping, as if he was sleeping.

He screamed for a long time, and the man finally had some reaction.

"Tianhe? Isn't it Tianshui? ”

The voice was full of doubts, not like going to the wrong place. This made the boatman a little anxious, afraid that he would be sent to the wrong place and would not be paid.

Hurriedly said: "This is what you said Follow this river all the way to the south, to the largest outlet of the tributary of the Taojiang River, and there is only Tianhe City in the world." ”

"Really?"

He took off his hat, revealing his pale sideburns and weather-beaten countenance, and looked out at the slowly receding bustling city. Suddenly, a man who put the girl on his shoulder came into view, a very sparse and ordinary scene, putting the child on his shoulder in the middle of the city.

This will keep the child from running around and prevent being abducted by beggars.

Old memories come flooding back.

[Changsheng, I brought you to Tianshui today to participate in the children's test. As ordinary people, they are not even considered poor, and the poorer they are born, the more they should show their talents. An eight-year-old child can be a young genius, which will be very helpful for your future career. 】

[Follow the teacher's teachings.] 】

[Daddy, I also want to hold the hand of the Li family's brother. 】

[Men and women can't kiss, and you can't reach it. 】

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "It's here, it's here." ”

As he spoke, he groped in his arms and found that the money bag was missing, which should have been lost when he fought with those thieves before. After groping again, Li Changsheng turned over a bronze medal.

"My money bag has fallen off, do you think this can be used to offset it?"

He was illiterate when he took the bronze medal, but he recognized it as bronze, and said: "Brother, it can indeed be used to resist, but your card is so heavy, I'm afraid I can't find change." ”

"You can give me a few copper plates, and buy a few buns on the way to have the strength to go home."

Li Changsheng begged for a few copper plates, and then got off the boat and disappeared into the crowd. Only the boatman kept looking at the bronze medal in his hand, the workmanship was very exquisite, the front was literate, and the back was a tiger head.

If a literate person can recognize the word "Tiger Leap", if a person with vision can recognize this as the handsome brand of the Tiger Leaping Army. Li Wuqu, who once swept the world, does not know how many people have been slaughtered and how many people have been saved behind this card.

Now it has fallen into the hands of a boatman, and it has ended up with a destination for the passage expenses.

For Li Changsheng, this is just a bronze medal. At the moment when he resigned from his official position and took off the seal, this token had already ordered no army, just a piece of copper.

No amount of honor is worth a bite of food.

The boatman asked someone to look at the boat, found a pawnshop, went in, took out the token and said, "Uncle help me see how much this is worth?" ”

The pawnshop guy casually picked up the token, glanced at the word tiger leap and caught his eye, so frightened that he jumped up directly from the chair. Then he rubbed it carefully, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he hurriedly called the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he jumped up and said, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

"Just got an old brother to ask me."

The boatman described Li Changsheng's appearance, full of white hair, wearing a hat, a knife in his hand, and possibly armor through the cloth wrapped around his body. On the way, when he noticed the armor, he wanted to jump off the ship and leave, but he thought that it would be better to make some hard-earned money.

More is better than less, and it's not like he hasn't been a thief or obviously killed someone in Jiangyang.

After listening, the shopkeeper can probably guess who it is, the famous Li Wuqu,

The pawnshop itself is a very lucrative industry, basically opened by a local family with a big face. As a shopkeeper, he has naturally been exposed to more information than ordinary people, and recently there have been rumors among the families that Li Wuqu went south.

The most important thing is that he has been disarmed and returned to the field, and there is not a single soldier under his command. Back then, Li Changsheng didn't know how much grain he snatched from the knife on their heads, and he didn't return it until now.

Of course, money is not the point, the point is to lose face.

The shopkeeper hurriedly left with the token, riding a horse through the downtown area, and I don't know how many people were injured.

It's night.

The black clouds pressed down and the moon could not be seen, and suddenly there were madmen holding knives at night.

Li Changsheng lowered his hat slightly, and turned into the sparsely populated alley without slowness. There are a few houses around, and it's not sparsely populated, but it's the best place to kill.

Because the people at the bottom know that silence is golden.

His fingertips tapped the hilt with a crisp sound, 16 times in total. This is also a sign of those who follow them, and these little ones may feel that they are seamless, but they are already exposed when they turn their eyes on themselves.

After decades of fighting on the battlefield, he does not have the divine power of the legendary immortals, but he is extremely sensitive to the murderous aura of others.

After walking eighty steps, in the place that gradually moved away from the downtown area, the figures were finally no longer hidden. Walked quickly towards Li Changsheng and surrounded him.

Originally, there were some houses here that were not closed, but when they saw this scene, they closed their doors and blew out the candles.

More than a dozen people in night clothes surrounded Li Changsheng, and their outfit was even more conspicuous. It's not so much to cover up the figure, but more like to cover up the appearance, and I'm afraid that the back has already been taken care of.

The dead are not important, the important thing is not to make a big fuss.

With a crisp sound of the blade coming out of the sheath, under the moonlight, the blade was slightly reflective.

Without saying much, everyone rushed up. Li Changsheng drew his knife and breathed slightly, and everyone's movements became sluggish.

In the alley, there were swords and swords, blood flowed into pieces, and in the short message, more than a dozen people fell in a pool of blood. Without exception, the fatal injuries were all neck stalks, and the huge gap almost cut off their heads.

Pick up the mask of the thief's hand and wipe the blood from the knife.

His eyes were lowered, his face was calm, and he didn't nod his head to kill.

Li Changsheng dropped his blood-stained mask and stepped forward to continue inquiring about Qingshui Village. At this moment, there are a few more catchers behind him, but as housekeepers, they definitely can't be thugs, and they don't dare to be that thugs.

"Old man, do you know Qingshui Village?"

"No, don't go anywhere, don't get in the way of my business, it's going to be curfew in a while."

"Housheng, is there a village called Qingshui Village nearby?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Do you know Shimizu Village?"

"I don't know."

After several days of inquiry, no one knew how to get to Shimizu Village, and they all said that there was no such village nearby. Either it is a similar name, such as Qinghe Village, Xiaoshui Village, Lijiazhai and so on.

During this period, many things happened, and Li Changsheng had several more lives on his hands. Of course, there are those who are malicious and those who are well-intentioned, but no one dares to have anything to do with him. Over time, no one came to trouble him, especially after seeing Li Changsheng's force.

Li Wuqu, whose merits are enough to be a marquis, may have no soldiers under him, but he may not be able to kill their entire family. And with his position, it is impossible for the court to openly arrest him.

The best thing to do is to ignore and isolate.

Just when Li Changsheng was about to go out of the city to find it on his own, an old official found him. His expression was in a hurry and panic, and there was a chasing official not far behind him, obviously chasing him just now.

"The general is looking for Shimizu Village? This village was also searched by the imperial court many years ago, but they were never found. Later, a Taoist priest came to the city, and the Taoist chief said that he wanted to sacrifice his relatives on behalf of others, and he mentioned Qingshui Village, so the yamen recorded it. ”

"If you don't dislike it, I can take you there. If you doubt me, I'll give you the map, and you can go whenever you want. ”
