Chapter 172: Face to face
"If he succeeds in the clouds, he will fly into the sky and dance in the sky." This was the last sentence that Li Yi and others said when they left Anzhou.
And this sentence also made the soldiers of the city guard battalion in Anzhou Prefecture led by Lu Hua remember it for a lifetime, and even became a bold statement for later generations.
Time rewinds back to when Lu Hua and the others climbed to the top of the purple jade. When the soldiers of the city guard camp finally climbed to the top of the purple jade, they were surprised to find that Li Yi and the others were sitting on the top of the purple jade leisurely.
However, they did not show any expressions of horror and surprise when they saw them come up, as the soldiers of the city guard camp had thought.
At this time, Li Yi and the others all had playful smiles on their faces, which made Lu Hua feel as if he had fallen into some trap.
A feeling of unease rose in his heart.
"Li Yi, Mu Junhe, you are suspected of killing the third son of Yueguo, and now I am on the mission of Anzhou Jiedu to arrest you, and I hope you don't make mistakes." Although Lu Hua felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, he still gasped and explained the purpose of his coming.
"Kill the third son of Yue Guo? Looks like you've caught that woman! Li Yi didn't defend himself, he just said lightly.
"That's right, that woman has already confessed everything, you are the real murderer who killed the third son of Yue Guo." Lu Hua said sharply.
"That's right, the eldest husband does things alone, and I don't deny that I killed Mu Fenglin." Li Yi smiled faintly, and then he looked at Lu Hua with a torch, and the slightly aggressive eyes made Lu Hua's heart tremble.
Lu Hua didn't expect a teenager to have such terrifying eyes and momentum.
"In that case, I hope you will come with me." Although Lu Hua felt that Li Yi's momentum was compelling, he was not afraid of this momentum as the commander of the city guard battalion in Anzhou Prefecture.
"Then why don't you ask me why I killed him first?" Li Yi said coldly.
"I've heard that woman say that it was the third prince of Yue Guo who first coveted your female companion and then designed to calculate against you, wanting you to fight with the prince of Zhaoguo to lose both." When Shi Fang was interrogating Sandalwood before, Lu Hua was in the place and he was still relatively clear about the contradictions between Li Yi and the prince of Yueguo.
"Since you know that Mu Fenglin wanted to harm me first, does it count me as famous if I kill him?" Li Yi asked in a flat tone, as if the two were chatting about family affairs.
"But even so, you shouldn't have killed him!" Lu Hua saw that Li Yi did not have the slightest remorse for killing the third son of Yue Guo, so he couldn't help but say.
"Really? So what should I do? Do you want to let the mermaid flesh or wash the neck and then kill it? When Li Yi said this, Lu Hua still didn't feel any mood swings.
However, Li Yi's words made Lu Hua speechless directly.
"Or is it because he is the prince of a vassal kingdom that he can decide the life and death of others at will, and we, ordinary people, can only let him fish and flesh without any resistance?" Li Yi continued to ask.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Hua couldn't help but become even more silent, and at this time he really didn't know how to refute Li Yi's words.
After all, this matter is indeed as Li Yi said.
"What nonsense the Commander and him are talking about! Just arrest him and hand him over to the envoy of the Jiedu, and he should be sentenced to death if he kills the prince of the vassal kingdom. Seeing Li Yi's words, the captain of a city guard battalion beside Lu Hua was speechless, and couldn't help but step forward and say.
Although he did feel that Li Yi's words had some truth, these big truths had no effect at all in the face of power.
If he Li Yi killed an ordinary person today, maybe the Jiedu envoy would not have been so enthusiastic at all, and the city guard camp would have been sent out to arrest them.
But the fact is that Li Yi killed the son of a vassal state, which in his cognition is a great rebellion and a heinous crime.
The education he received since he was a child was that the king was the minister, and the father was the son. And they are also vested interests in this set of rules, and the family in which he was born is an aristocratic family that has been passed down for generations.
Seeing the captain of the city guard battalion in front of him shouting like this, Qi Chao on Li Yi's side couldn't stand it.
"What kind of bird talk did you say, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut off your dog's head with a knife." You must know that the whole thing is caused by Mu Fengshan and Mu Fenglin's coveting of their sister's beauty, so if you want to say who wants Mu Fengshan and Mu Fenglin more than Li Yi, the two brothers Mu Fengshan and Mu Fenglin are, he Qi Chao is definitely at the forefront.
Seeing Qi Chao staring at him with a murderous look on his hand with the Glaive Knife, the squad leader of the city guard battalion couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright before stabilizing his figure.
"I don't want to have more verbal battles with you here, since you don't want to be arrested, then don't blame us." Lu Hua saw that the people on Li Yi's side had a tough attitude, so he immediately pulled out his long knife and prepared to make a move.
"I originally thought that you Anzhou Jiedu envoys, as elders of the Mo family, should at least have some backbone as elders, but I didn't expect that they were actually just villains who only knew how to tie up with the powerful." Li Yi's side Jing Zizheng teased with a playful face.
"You arrange an elder like this, it seems that Your Excellency is just a small person who can only chew the root of his tongue behind people's backs." Suddenly, a voice came from behind the city guard battalion.
Everyone turned around and saw a fat man panting with his waist crossed.
"Lord of the Castle!" When everyone saw the fat man, they saluted and said. It turned out that the fat man who spoke was Jin Kai, the city lord of Anzhou Prefecture.
"Lord Castle, why are you here in person?" Lu Hua was very surprised by Jin Kai's reasoning, although Li Yi committed a heinous crime by killing the third son of Yue Guo, but there was no need for the city lord of Anzhou Prefecture to personally arrest him!
"Let me take a moment!" Jin Kai said as he gasped. Just as Jin Kai was trying to stabilize his breath, another figure emerged from the steep staircase.
Lu Hua couldn't help but be startled when he looked at it.
"Why did you come here in person?" It turned out that the person who came up turned out to be Shi Fangzheng, the envoy of Anzhou Jiedu.
Lu Hua immediately stepped forward and helped Shi Fangzheng to go up to the top of the purple jade, and behind Shi Fangzheng was followed by sandalwood.
After the stone square went up to the top of the purple jade, he slowed down a little and returned to normal much faster than Zhi Jinkai.
"I didn't expect that my Li's face would be so big today, and I would actually make the Lord and the City Lord come to arrest me in person on Labor Day." Li Yi saw that Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai had arrived in person, so he slowly got up and saluted the two of them with fists.
At this time, Jin Kai stuck out his tongue and scolded in his heart.
"If it weren't for you kid, would Lao Tzu be as tired as a grandson by climbing such a high mountain!"
"Li Xiaoyou, is there any misunderstanding in this matter? Why don't we go to the mansion of my festival envoy and talk slowly? Shi Fangzheng saw that Li Yi's attitude was quite humble, so he also smiled and said.
"Lord Jiedu, if you don't say anything about this matter, then Mu Fenglin and Mu Fengshan were both killed by me, and there is no misunderstanding." Although Shi Fangzheng's tone was gentle and full of smiles, in Li Yi's opinion, it made him creepy.
Because according to common sense, as the festival of Anzhou, how could a party leader be so courteous to such an unknown little person as him.
Even Shi Fangzheng worked tirelessly to drag his sixty-year-old body to climb such a high mountain to persuade himself. When things go wrong, there must be demons, and the situation in front of him let Li Yi know that there must be something unknown here.
In fact, things are indeed as Li Yi guessed. An hour and a half ago, when Lu Hua was ordered to take the soldiers of the city guard battalion to arrest Li Yi, Sandalwood saw that there were no outsiders at the scene, so he immediately knelt down and said.
"The festival makes the adult, and the little girl has important things to tell." In the face of Sandalwood's sudden move, Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai both felt a little confused.
So Shi Fangzheng immediately said.
"If you have anything to say, don't worry about me being in charge of everything." Originally, Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai thought that there were still some details of this sandalwood that were not clear, but then Sandalwood's words directly made Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai stand up from the chair themselves.
"The festival makes the lord of the city, the little woman still has important things to report, and please retreat from the lord." Seeing Sandalwood so solemn, Shi Fangzheng had no choice but to nod and signal all the servants and guards present to retreat.
And Jin Kai was a little worried about this, after all, the woman in front of him was a master with good martial arts skills who could evade the capture of the city guard camp for a long time.
But Shi Fangzheng didn't have the slightest concern, and he Shi Fangzheng had never seen any strong winds and waves. If this woman really wanted to kill herself, with her years of experience, even if she covered it up well, she could feel the murderous aura of her skills, but he didn't feel any murderous aura on this woman.
After all the servants and guards left and right left, Jin Kai stared at Sandalwood suspiciously and asked.
"Okay, there's no one left or right, just say whatever you want!"
"Lord of the City, this matter is related to Li Yi." Sandalwood saw that there was no one left and right, so she immediately said.
"Don't sell it, just say it!" Because after staying up all night, Jin Kai was already very sleepy at this time.
"Yes, last night the little girl sneaked into a college in order to avoid the pursuit of the guards of the Yue Kingdom, and in that academy overheard something about Li Yi." Sandalwood said as she looked at Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai, and saw that the two of them didn't seem to be too interested in this, so they immediately continued.
"The little woman heard a gentleman named Shangyang from the academy talking to his disciple about Li Yi as the one who fulfilled the proverb."
"Proverbs?" As soon as they heard these two words, Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai couldn't help but stare at each other. And Sandalwood saw that the expressions of the two had changed significantly, and her heart couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
"That's right, it's a proverb, those three proverbs."
"Specifically, what is the connection between this Li Yi and this proverb?" Although Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai were both skeptical of this proverb, they also knew that most of the forces in the world were very convinced of this proverb.
And what is more critical is that the matter between Li Yi and Yu Yu is what Mr. Shangyang said, which has to make them vigilant.
Maybe others don't know who Mr. Shangyang is, but as the envoy of the Anzhou Festival and the old man of the Mo family, Shi Fangzheng is very clear.
At that time, this Mr. Shangyang dared to face the world's disapproval and confront the Confucian high-level, so that he was finally removed from Confucianism.
Later, this Mr. Shangyang came to settle in their Anzhou Prefecture City, and he also knew it. It's just that because he doesn't want to be contaminated with Confucianism, he hasn't taken the initiative to get acquainted with him for so many years.
Seeing that Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai were both looking at him with burning eyes, Sandalwood showed some embarrassed looks on his face.
And Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai, who were human spirits, instantly understood that the woman in front of them wanted to ask for benefits.
"Say what you want directly, I don't like people beating around the bush." Shi Fangzheng said faintly.
"The festival makes the adults forgive their sins, the little woman is also forced to be helpless, the little girl died when she was young, and there is a sister who depends on me for her life, and then the third son of the Yue Kingdom, our sisters have some grace, so they robbed us into the house." Speaking of which, Sandalwood was already full of tears.
"Later, His Royal Highness the Third Prince wanted to use force on me, my sister took the initiative to sacrifice herself in order to protect my innocence, and later the Third Prince trained me to become a shadow guard, and now the Third Prince was killed, and my guards will definitely be reprimanded for poor protection, once the news is transmitted back to the Yue Kingdom, my sister is afraid that it will be more auspicious, so please also ask the Lord to save my sister!" After saying that, Sandalwood couldn't cry anymore.
After listening to Sandalwood's request, Shi Fangzheng was a little unsure of what to do, after all, if this matter is not handled well, it may offend Yue Guo.
Just when Shi Fangzheng was silent, a voice came from outside the door.
"The old woman agreed to this for him." Sandalwood couldn't help but look for prestige when she heard someone talking, only to see an old woman with gray hair but excellent temperament walking in from outside the door.
The old lady was dressed in a long blue dress, and a crested hairpin with various colored gems was inserted on her head.
As she walked, the crested hairpin kept shaking with her steps, as if the crested hairpin were a living creature.
"I've seen my master!" When Jin Kai saw the old woman coming, he immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Madame, why are you here?" Shi Fangzheng couldn't help but get up to greet his wife Aunt Ai when he saw him coming.
"Husband, I see that this woman is destined for me, and I want to take her as an apprentice." Shi Fangzheng pondered for a moment, and was just about to say something, when he saw Sandalwood immediately knelt down in front of Aunt Ai and shouted loudly.
"Master, please accept the apprentice's worship!" Shi Fangzheng, who was still hesitating, saw that Sandalwood had already made a big bow to the teacher, so he had to agree.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to bring your sister to Anzhou."
"Thank you, sir!" Immediately, Sandalwood kowtowed to Shi Fangzheng three times, and then she continued.
"Last night, I heard Mr. Shangyang say to his apprentice that Li Yi is the one in the proverb
The word "Ning", and they also have to follow Li Yi to the south to assist him as the Ming Lord. ”
"What do you say? That Li Yi turned out to be in the proverb
The word "Ning"! Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai were all taken aback, they really didn't expect that this Li Yi would be the last of the five people predicted in the proverb.
Immediately, Jin Kai immediately sent someone to Lixin Academy to check the situation. Then the person who went to check came back and reported that Mr. Shangyang had taken his apprentice to retire from all the students' Shu Xiu, and he had disappeared this morning.
At this moment, Shi Fangzheng and Jin Kai were immediately convinced that this Li Yi was probably really related to this prophecy. That's why the two of them hurriedly came to this purple jade top in person.
