Chapter 176: Speculation
The people of the Lieyan Sect listened to Xu Chu's various braggings all the way, and Elder Xu responded from time to time. The dust was flying, and the cavalry on the official road was mighty, and the momentum was like a rainbow, which alarmed many warriors and passers-by.
A large black gold Chu character flag fluttered over the cavalry. Many merchants were shocked and moved out of the way.
"It's a cavalry from the Chu Palace!" A warrior stood on the side of the road, looking at the orderly cavalry with a look of awe.
"I heard that the King of Chu inspected the various mansions, could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was in the carriage?" In the ranks of merchants, a well-informed merchant stared at the most luxurious carriage among the cavalry, his eyes flickering faintly.
"It should be, you see, isn't that Elder Xu of the Burning Flame Sect, I was fortunate enough to meet once, and even the county guard treated him politely, and now he actually showed a humble smile to a military general." The man next to him whispered.
"Hey, this is the elder of the Flame Sect, a big man in the Lingyun Mansion!" A fat merchant took a deep breath, in the two mansions of Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion, just one disciple of the Burning Flame Sect would let those domineering families in the city treat each other politely, let alone a figure of the level of an elder.
What kind of person should even the elders of the Flame Sect want to please? The merchants looked at the cavalry with even greater awe.
In one of the caravans of hundreds of people, a strong grandmaster who was extremely respected in the eyes of ordinary people didn't even look at this cavalry, for fear of attracting the attention of these cavalrymen.
He sensed several deadly threats in the cavalry, especially the drunken general in front of him, who looked at him lightly, and his hair stood on end.
It's horrible!
"Is it really the King of Chu?" Some of the whispers quickly spread around.
"That's great, I heard that the king of Chu has always been kind, generous to the people, and patrolled everywhere to be sympathetic to the people."
"Now His Highness has also come to our Linghai County to inspect it."
"Of course, the King of Chu is well-known for his benevolence and love for the people...... "When the passers-by around heard that it was the King of Chu coming, they all showed excitement.
They had already heard all kinds of rumors about the King of Chu some time ago, how good it was to the people, and since the control of the King of Chu in other places, the life of the people has been getting better and better.
I have not seen the king of Chu, but the reputation of the king of Chu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, before Li Yuan came to Lingyun Mansion, the hearts of the people in Lingyun Mansion were already towards the Chu Mansion.
As the distance from Linghai County got closer, there were more and more pedestrians and teams on the road, and their eyes looked at him curiously
The cavalry of the banner of the word "Chu", the passers-by have given way, and after they have passed, the passers-by have discussed, their faces are excited, and the king of Chu they have been looking forward to is really coming.
The cavalrymen listened to the praise of the passers-by with expressionless expressions, they had seen too much along the way. And the disciples of the Burning Flame Sect around the carriage raised their heads one by one, not squinting, they were even more accustomed to the awe-inspiring eyes of the people around them.
"Grandpa, what do you think His Highness will do with the Yang family?" Inside the carriage, Liu Yanxin looked at Liu Chenfeng, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, and asked softly.
Liu Chenfeng had a white beard, his eyes opened slightly, and his deep eyes showed a trace of regret.
"Yan Xin, Yang Zaitian already hates us to the core, we don't have to save it, and we can't reconcile, our position determines the direction of our walking, we have decided to be loyal to the King of Chu, so we will follow the decision of the King of Chu."
"Hmm!" Liu Yanxin nodded, she is a smart woman, Yang Zaitian, as the biggest hidden danger of the Lieyan Sect now, naturally reported Yang Zaitian's situation to Li Yuanyu.
"General Xu, now His Royal Highness the King of Chu doesn't know where he is, should we hurry back to the Lieyan Sect and wait for His Highness." Elder Xu looked ahead, the tall and generous city of Linghai County City faintly appeared, it was still early weather, and the team could completely cross the Linghai County City and continue to rush to the Flame Sect.
Xu Chu was a little drunk, his face was flushed, and he waved his hand and said casually: "Okay, no problem!" Xu Chu poured a big gulp of wine, the aroma of wine in his mouth overflowed, after reaching the Tianwu Realm, these ordinary wines could not get him drunk, but he liked this taste and immersed himself in it.
Thundered! In the direction of the cavalry team's advance, passers-by walking on the avenue rushed to the side of the road, and the road was unimpeded.
However, at this moment, in the middle of the incomparably wide avenue in front of him, a man dressed in a black robe, with a majestic and solemn face, looked at the approaching cavalry with a calm face.
This person's sudden appearance was in stark contrast to the passers-by who were retreating from the side of the road, and it was immediately extremely conspicuous! Many people looked over, showing various expressions of shock, anxiety, and pity.
Who is this person, who dares to stop in the middle in the face of the cavalry of the King of Chu? Don't want to die? Some people are flashing with fine light, could it be that this person wants to take the initiative to join the king of Chu, so he deliberately attracts the attention of the king of Chu?
What a solution! When some pretentious literati thought of this, they immediately showed expressions of impatience and wanted to step out and stand together.
If they were really appreciated by the King of Chu, they would be able to soar into the sky! But he was hurriedly pulled by the sober person next to him.
Each other's skills are clear, don't do porcelain work without that diamond. Dare to intercept the cavalry, don't die!
If others really have great ability, you don't have it, and you still learn from others, isn't it a shame! The lieutenant of the cavalry who came from a distance saw an imposing literati standing in the middle of the avenue and did not leave, and frowned, could it be another talent who wanted to take refuge in His Highness.
The lieutenant could not be allowed to think so, as long as he was not a fool, it was impossible to intercept them. Intercepting them here is clearly for an ulterior purpose.
So the lieutenant quickly whipped his horse, quickened his speed, broke away from the cavalry ranks, and quickly came to Lis, stopped his horse, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you standing still in the middle of the avenue?" The lieutenant looked at Li Si with a frown, and there was a coldness in his tone.
Li Si looked up at the lieutenant, his resolute face, with a hint of anger in his eyes, but no killing intent.
Therefore, Li Si nodded with satisfaction, crossed the lieutenant, and looked at the cavalry that was slowly coming, he understood the anger of this lieutenant, he was walking on the avenue well, and suddenly someone stood in the center as their way, and everyone was angry, if it was in war, it would not be a pity to be killed directly.
"Who are you, and why are you standing in our way?" Seeing that this person was unusual, the lieutenant looked at the cavalry team with a scrutinizing gaze, but he never spoke, his heart froze, his right hand faintly pressed the hilt of the sword, and asked for the second time.
"Your Highness has an order!" Li Si didn't have any extra words, took out the token of the King of Chu in his sleeve, and stretched it out in front of the lieutenant.
When the lieutenant saw the token of the King of Chu in Li Si's hand, he was shocked, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted.
"Cavalry lieutenant Lian Chenghai to meet your lord!" At the same time, the cavalry contingent behind also rushed to the rear of the two.
When Elder Xu saw Lian Chenghai suddenly dismount and salute the people who stood in the way, his face was shocked, he originally thought that he was a talent who had the audacity to take refuge in the King of Chu.
But when he saw Lian Chenghai actually dismount and salute, an idea suddenly popped up, could it be the King of Chu's people? The cavalry stopped in place, and several disciples of the Flame Sect looked at each other.
The carriage curtain had been opened, and Liu Yanxin's beautiful eyes also looked at Li Si in front of him with a hint of doubt, frantically searching for his information in his mind, but found nothing.
Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a hidden talent? Liu Yanxin's beautiful eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, staring at Li Si tightly.
"Lian Chenghai, what are you doing?" Xu Chu saw that the cavalry stopped, Lian Chenghai actually saluted the interception and took the horse, and his eyes skimmed to Li Si, not Xun Yu and Master Jia, I hadn't seen them, so he rode a horse drunk and approached the two.
Without waiting for Lian Chenghai to reply, Li Si looked at Xu Chu's calm eyes with a cold color.
"You are Xu Chu?"
"It's me, what's wrong, who are you?" Xu Chu shook his head, still looking at Li Si drunkenly.
"Don't get drunk on the march, as a general, you should set an example, Xu Chu is guilty of alcohol taboos in the army, and he should be banned from cultivating for thirty days, and he can't drink alcohol for half a year!" Li Si suddenly shouted coldly, his voice was like thunder, as if an ancient god was speaking, and there was an inexplicable law circulating!
Xu Chu woke up in an instant, and his whole body was drunk and cleared in a moment! Deputy Lieutenant Lian Chenghai raised his head suddenly and looked at Li Si in disbelief!
Elder Xu and the disciples of the Flame Sect looked at Li Si in front of them in amazement! What did he just say? Want to punish Xu Chu?
Who is it? Where did you come from so boldly? When Li Si finished his last sentence, an indescribable aura filled the void, and everyone around seemed to hear the groan of the void chain!
Liu Chenfeng in the carriage suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a look of shock! In vain, the sky seemed to sink, and Elder Xu behind him showed a shocked look, and he sensed an indescribable threat.
A solemn and solemn aura flowed through the sky. The people of the Flame Sect felt a shackle enveloping their bodies, and they didn't dare to move.
However, the passers-by next to them didn't seem to feel any sense of oppression, but just felt that the figure of the literati in the middle of the avenue had become incomparably tall, awe-inspiring, and solemn in their eyes!
An indescribable feeling suddenly welled up in the hearts of these people, remembering whether they had done something wrong, and they wanted to confess to this formidable figure.
"I confess, I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have stolen!"
"I shouldn't steal people with the second young grandmother next door!"
"I'll never drink brown sugar water again!" Suddenly a few people on the side of the road knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, without anyone interrogating, muttering to themselves on the side, loudly confessing the crimes they had committed, and when the people next to them were frightened, a mysterious iron chain in the void instantly merged into Xu Chu's burly body, Xu Chu's eyes opened, as if his whole body was shrouded in shackles, the true qi running in his body stopped, and a sense of weakness came, although there was no iron chain on his body, but Xu Chu clearly felt that he was
"Tied" up! The terrifying true elements in the body were all locked up and could not be mobilized, Xu Chu suddenly looked at Li Si, it was still a trivial matter to be beaten and banned from cultivation, but he couldn't drink alcohol for half a year, how could this work?
But Xu Chu found that he didn't seem to be interested in wine now.
"Who are you, there is a kind of letting me go, heads-up!" Xu Chu was a little flustered in his heart. Call! Liu Yanxin, Elder Xu, Lian Chenghai and others sensed that the terrifying ferocious aura that had always existed in Xu Chu's body disappeared, and now he was like an ordinary person.
"In Xia Lisi, under the order of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, take over all the affairs of Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion!" Li Si looked past Xu Chu and looked at Liu Chenfeng standing on the carriage frame.
For a person with rough skin like Xu Chu, beating him will make him feel a pain at most, and only if he is really scared will he follow the military rules.
Everyone in the Lieyan Sect looked at Li Si and was shocked in their hearts, who was this person, and the King of Chu actually asked him to take over the land of the two mansions?
"Lis?"
"You're that Lis!" Xu Chu, who had just shouted next to him, was stunned and looked at Li Si in disbelief.
He has been with the prime minister for many years, and he has heard a little about some people in ancient times.
"You don't have the impression that there is a second person named Lis!" Li Si skimmed Xu Chu lightly and said very confidently.
He believed that everything he had done would make his name remembered by future generations, for better or for worse!
"Huh!" The people of the Lieyan Sect and Lian Chenghai and these cavalrymen were shocked to see that General Xu, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, was a little panicked.
Especially the people of the Lieyan Sect, the shock in their hearts was indescribable, and they were extremely jealous of Li Si one by one.
"Lord Li, I don't know what else the King of Chu commands?" Liu Yan was pleased to see Li Si looking over, his figure jumped, jumped out of the carriage, and came to Li Si.
"I hope that Miss Liu and Lieyan Sect will assist me in controlling Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion."
"For three months, Li Si needs to fully assist His Highness in controlling all the counties of the two prefectures within these three months." Li Si stared at Liu Yanxin and Liu Chenfeng and said categorically.
Liu Chenfeng and Liu Yanxin met Li Si's extremely sharp eyes, and they were extremely impressed by Li Si in an instant.
It's hard to imagine that a person's eyes can give them such a feeling, just looking at his eyes is as if they can see the law, a kind of obedience to the rules.
A solemn and convincing momentum made Liu Chenfeng nod unconsciously.
"This is natural, we should help Master Li."
"Then let's start with Linghai County!" Li Si nodded slightly, turned to look at the Linghai County City not far away, he needed to know more about this world in order to assist His Highness as soon as possible.
"Yes!" Liu Chenfeng and Liu Yanxin nodded in unison.
"Let's go!" Li Si naturally got the command of the cavalry.
"Li Si, Master Li, what about me, I was wrong, now I didn't drink and make a mistake, can you not punish me for not drinking!" Xu Chu, who was imprisoned, saw that Li Si ignored him, and hurriedly said.
Li Si glanced at the eyes of everyone, looked at Xu Chu, and said coldly: "Your Highness once said that no matter who you are, no matter how serious it is, you will be punished if you do something wrong." You marched drunken in front of the public, and committed a taboo in the army. If I condone you this time, who should I condone next time, and we don't abide by the laws we make, how can we convince the public? Whether it was the Lieyan Sect or the passers-by next to him, looking at Li Si's voice and serious face, he was faintly convinced.
Those people were even more excited, and they even had to punish their own people for doing something wrong, which showed that the people in the Chu Palace's mansion were worthy of trust.
