Zhou Yuan, who was holding back his anger, couldn't find Li Kui even if he ran to Yan'an Mansion.

It was only at this time that Zhou Yuan understood how capable his disciples were, and if a good Great Song civil official did not do it, he went to Western Xia. said that Li Kui defected to the enemy, Zhou Yuan would not believe it at all. He had just caused a disaster to tens of thousands of Western Xia troops, and if he really had his brain pumped and ran to Western Xia, the greatest possibility was to send him to death, rather than surrender to the enemy.

There were too many people in Western Xia who wanted to kill Li Kui.

But if you want to say that Li Kui has the ability to carry out a coup d'état, Zhou Yuan doesn't believe it.

But the problem is that he doesn't believe it, but everyone around him believes it, Chong Jianzhong, this is Li Kui's subordinate, and his admiration for Li Kui is beyond words.

Su Zhe, if he didn't believe it, he wouldn't have gone to the capital.

The emperor also believed it, and it was precisely because he believed it that he asked him to come to Yan'an Mansion to be optimistic about Li Kui. The premise is that after Li Kui returns from Western Xia.

Ministers such as Zhang Dian and Li Qingchen also believed it, and it was precisely because of their belief that they would continue to transfer countless supplies and troops from the Central Plains to Yanyan Road. The forbidden army alone is no less than 100,000 people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the court is united in all people.

Even Zhang Ji, the highest official on Huanqing Road next door, also believed it, not only believed it, but also told the imperial court that the situation in the northwest was very good.

Longzhou was taken by the Song army.

Hongzhou was conquered by the Song army.

At this moment, Huanqing Road and Yanyan Road can organize a defense line that spans two roads on the front line, and they are connected. If Yinzhou is also taken down, this is tantamount to completing the suppression of Western Xia by the Great Song Dynasty. After seizing the Hengshan defensive line, Western Xia could only retreat in the face of a steady stream of Song troops. It's not a good situation, what else is a good situation?

It seems that everyone is enthusiastic about making contributions, but Zhou Yuan is sad in his heart, and he admonishes himself vigorously: "Is it true that only you are sober in the world?" ”

If there was no evidence from others, maybe he would have dared to think about it.

But the problem is that Zhang Qi, Fan Chunren, and even An Tao of the Privy Council have all come to the northwest, as well as Zhang Dian and Su Zhe in the court, and the emperor thinks that the current situation is quite favorable to the Great Song Dynasty. They, the ones who are not smarter than him, who are not more far-sighted than him?

It's just that the process is relatively peaceful. The Great Song Dynasty took two strategic locations almost without a single soldier.

And Western Xia did not lose either.

When the party members had harvested the wheat and fattened the horses, transported them from the horse farm to the front, the war had just begun.

This is the case with wars, often a war, from preparation to war, is possible in three or five months, and in a year or two. But the question is, can the Great Song Dynasty win against the Western Xia?

This is a national war!

Every time Zhou Yuan thought of this, he hated it so much, and said in his heart: "When the stinky boy comes back, I will kill him!" ”

Let's talk about Li Kui.

After he was controlled by the Western Xia national teacher Wei Ming Deyuan, he was about to cross the Sha'er Sea, which was actually a desert in front of them. The place is not big, and if you cross it at the narrowest, you can reach it in three to five days. Desert walking cannot be counted as riding on the plains, and the walking speed is greatly limited, and the daily speed of the walk will be greatly reduced.

Li Kui was content to be a prisoner.

Luda couldn't help it, and secretly asked Li Kui: "My lord, let's kill it, isn't it a waste to play with a group of monks?" ”

"There is food and drink, why are you in a hurry! Besides, look at the seven princes of the people, how noble their identity is, and they are also resigned to it, with a calm expression? Li Kuinu pointed at Li Bingqian and said to Luda: "Besides, we are so close to the national teacher now, the Buddha and his old man will bless us." ”

"My lord, do you believe this nonsense?"

Luda listened to Li Kui's nonsense, and the whole person was not good. He felt that Li Kui was the same person as him, and the Buddha and his old man would bless them when they were idle. People like them have too much blood on their hands, and their sins are like the sea, and the Buddha may not be able to overcome them. If you don't go to hell, you will definitely not be able to settle down in the next life.

But can Li Kui recognize the fact that he is a bad person?

He nodded solemnly and said, "Buddha, his magic power is boundless, he should be able to." ”

Ruda's expectant face immediately collapsed, and he still wanted to follow the adults to kill the Quartet? But in the end, he tragically discovered that freedom himself is the bad guy!

"It's time to eat!" The monk who distributes the food will walk by, drop the food and leave.

"Why so little?"

Ruda was furious, and there was a half-pound dry cake in his hand, and there was not even meat, let alone wine. Just this bit of food, Tuanba, Tuanba, is still gone.

The people who distributed the food were also the people of the Xixia Huguo Temple, and they didn't want to entertain Li Kui and Lu Da, the captives captured by the two national teachers. With a black face, he threw down a sentence and said: "I want to eat, I don't want to eat and starve." I thought you could eat a lot, but when you saw that there was no food, if you could do it, you would have eaten it! ”

Luda glared at the food that the monk was pointing to, and looked at Li Kui with a weak heart. Although he didn't let go of his mouth, he was defeated in momentum. If you don't talk about twenty catties of bread, he can't eat it. Although he is born with divine power, his belly is also first-class. But in the face of this pile of cakes, it looks like six or seven percent at most.

Li Kui is also angry with Wei Ming Deyuan, so he doesn't plan to make him good.

I starved him every day, as if I was afraid that he was going to run away.

Li Kui raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "The national teacher Russia is dead!" ”

The monk also panicked, Li Kui's shouting voice was not loud, but it was enough to hear the person in front of him. The deterrent power of the national teacher is still very strong in the Huguo Temple, and there are few monks who are not afraid of the national teacher. The monk immediately lowered his body and glared: "I'm not hungry for you, you see, we all eat the same." ”

"With such a big temple as Huguo Temple, do you even have to be hungry for guests?"

Li Kui shouted, and there was no intention of discussing at all.

The monk was helpless, he didn't want to share the cake, so he alarmed the national teacher. He whispered, "What do you want?" ”

"The pile of bread for us to eat." Li Kui raised his hand and pointed to the food that the monk had choked on Luda with words just now, but his expression was like a kind of death.

The monk who distributed the food didn't know whether he was angry or angry, squinted his eyes and said to Li Kui: "This is what you said, how can you say that you can't finish eating?" ”

"I can't finish eating, and the two of you won't eat on the way."

"Okay. If you want to die, I won't stop you. ”

Li Kui: "Take two bags of water." ”

"Okay, I'll swell you to death later."

"If you can eat, I will give you so much every day, don't say that I am bullying people in Huguo Temple. But if you can't finish eating, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

Ruda helped on the side: "Even if you want to die, be a full ghost." ”

……

After a while, in the camp, many people gathered around Li Kui and Luda, watching the two big men rudely bite the cake, their expressions were as hideous as tearing the flesh and blood of the enemy, which stunned everyone.

"How much have you eaten?"

"It's almost ten."

"Altogether?"

"Ten for one person."

"Silk, isn't this going to be almost five catties of cakes?"

Whether it is Li Kui or Luda, they are all tall people with strong appearances. But eating five catties of bread in one go is not something ordinary people can do.

But Li Kui and Luda didn't slow down their eating, and they still ate rhythmically. When the last cake fell on the carpet and both hands pressed on the cake at the same time, Li Kui and Luda looked at each other and smiled: "One and a half!" ”

"Good man!"

After eating the last bite, Li Kui burped, patted his stomach and said, "This is eating." Then he looked up at the monk in the dining room who was a little messy, and said to him: "Remember, every meal is given according to this amount, otherwise I will go to the national teacher, the national teacher of the dignified Great Xia Kingdom, how can there be a reason to be hungry guests?" ”

"You ......"

The monk in the dining room panicked, so Li Kui and Luda found a place to eat, and they could eat food for ten people a day.

If this continues, they will probably run out of food.

Luda was not far behind, and shouted: "Yes, if you can't eat enough, tell the national teacher that you are bullying us and other craftsmen." ”

Wei Ming Deyuan is at the core of the camp, he is a national teacher, once he camps, he must live in the most central place, so as to protect his safety.

Hearing the commotion in the camp, he looked up and asked his disciple dissatisfied, "What's the matter?" ”

The disciple hurried over, and then came back with a smile: "The two subordinates of the Seven Kings had a quarrel with the monk because they were dissatisfied with the lack of food, and then the two sides made a bet and ate twenty catties of cakes. ”

Wei Ming Deyuan didn't make an evaluation, but just looked at Li Bingqian with contempt. Indeed, with goods like Li Kui and Luda on weekdays, you can't do it at all.

Li Bingqian couldn't say that these two were not his subordinates, but his grandfather.

The dignified national teacher will naturally not lose his demeanor because of the two big-bellied men. Wave your hand to ask the disciple to stand back, and then continue to chant in front of the fire. It seems that he wants to use this invisible deterrence to make Li Bingqian's heart collapse. Because Wei Ming Deyuan didn't believe it, Li Bingqian just wanted to repay his mother's wishes, and spent four thousand taels of gold in one breath on an inconspicuous temple.

This abnormal behavior made him think that Li Bingqian must have something to hide from him.

Linked to Li Bingqian's previous desire to overthrow the rule of the Liang family, Wei Ming Deyuan did not dare to be careless, so he could only take this person with him. Until he knew Li Bingqian's true intentions.

But what is Li Bingqian's secret?

He did all this because Li Kui asked him to do it.

The purpose is very simple, Li Bingqian's almost transparent identity in Western Xia must do something. Even having a reputation among monks can give him a certain number of supporters. thus approaching his goal of overthrowing the Liang dynasty.

Over the next few days, the road became difficult.

Once in the desert, they could only walk fifteen miles a day. And he gave up the carriage and the horses, and could only use camels.

In particular, the white camel named Deyuan is undoubtedly the most special existence in the team.

Finally, Li Bingqian got rid of the surveillance of Wei Ming Deyuan and asked Li Kui what to do next?

But before they could say a word, they heard Ruda stupidly say to the sky: "The wind is blowing!" ”

Li Kui looked up into the distance, and it seemed that there was a yellow ribbon in the sky, undulating on the horizon.

Only Li Bingqian, a native of Western Xia, exclaimed: "It's broken, it's a sandstorm!" ”
