Chapter 288, Nonsense Resentment
Hearing the big cake drawn by Li Chengjing, Guan Dan was already trembling with excitement, while Guan Sheng looked at Li Chengjing's hand holding the knife with a shocked face, pointed at Li Chengjing and exclaimed, "How can you be okay?" ”
Li Chengjing smiled, flipped his wrist, played with a knife flower, and returned the knife to the sheath.
The long knife was very ordinary, the most common soldier saber in the army, and the blade was also mutilated.
In fact, this is the first person Guan Sheng killed after joining the army.
Later, he has been collected by Guan Sheng.
Over the years, it has turned into a weapon.
Guan Sheng likes it very much on weekdays, and he loves it very much, and others can't touch it at all, even if he is sprinkled and swept, he doesn't dare to approach this knife.
Now, Li Chengjing, a cultivator on the mountain, was able to pull out his weapon and hold it in his hand, but there was nothing unusual about it, how could this not make Guan Sheng dumbfounded.
Soon, the order was also discovered in hindsight.
"Aren't you a Xuan Xiu? How can you be okay with a weapon in your hands? ”
Li Chengjing put down the sword, sighed and said: "Two generals, how long is the history of the human race, how long is the Xuanmen cultivator, and the monks have a long lifespan, and the soldiers have restrained the Xuanxiu for thousands of years, do you really think that the Xuanxiu has no way to weaken the influence of the soldiers on themselves?" ”
"There are thousands of poisons in the world, but mortal doctors can still research antidotes, and even fight poison with poison and save lives with poison. Do you really think that Xuan Xiu is inferior to a mortal physician? ”
The two of them were speechless.
At the same time, a cold sweat broke out behind Guan Sheng's back.
If there is really no shortage of ways to resist the evil on the mountain, why is there no rumor of the slightest rumor.
I'm afraid it's not that there is no way, but it's an excuse for fear of losing such a good one.
It's as if any official dares to swear to the emperor that his loyalty to him can be seen by the sun and the moon, and he is willing to go up the knife mountain, get off the oil pot, flow the sea of fire, and enter the Yellow Spring for the emperor.
But if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of him, I am afraid that there may not be a fool among a hundred people who will really go up to the sword mountain and enter the sea of fire.
Guan Sheng asked himself, if he knew that there was something that could threaten him at any time, even if he didn't have the ability to destroy it, he would definitely try his best to find a way to crack it.
The Xuan Xiu on the mountain, going to heaven and earth, moving mountains and seas can be done, is there no way to solve the problem of war, or rather, they really have no way to solve the problem of war.
Thinking of this, Guan Sheng couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being stupid, such an obvious thing, he was so stupid that he didn't reflect at all, what those sanctimonious monks said, he actually believed something.
"So, your purpose is not really to avenge the people of Daqing, but to drag the monks of the two countries into this quagmire? But don't you forget, aren't they stupid? ”
Li Chengjing shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "What can you do if you don't participate?" War is only a means, and if this method does not work, then another method will be changed. Moreover, Dashuai said one thing wrong, this matter is indeed mainly for the sake of the people of Daqing, and calculating the Xuanxiu on the mountain is just a matter of convenience. Li wants to let the people of Yan know that the slaughter of the people of Daqing will pay an even more tragic price. ”
Looking at such a tough Li Chengjing, Guan Sheng was in a trance, as if he saw that high-spirited, hard-fisted young majesty.
Emperor Qing back then, not the same.
Shaking his head, he threw this rebellious idea to the back of his mind, and then pondered for a long time before he said: "This matter has too much impact, even the old man does not dare to make decisions without permission." And how can the dispatch of troops be so arbitrary. The old man can only let the old man's private soldiers go with you. But you have to remember that these people are just private soldiers! ”
Li Chengjing smiled and thanked him: "Enough!" ”
Guan Shan hurriedly said: "Grandpa, let the last general go too!" ”
Guan Sheng glanced at Guan Dan and said angrily: "Get out, your identity can't participate in this matter!" ”
Li Chengjing didn't help to speak, if he didn't know that the other party was Guan Sheng's nephew, Li Chengjing could also help him talk about it, but not now, his identity is too sensitive.
After discussing the specific departure time, Li Chengjing was arranged by Guan Sheng to rest in the guest room of the Hou Mansion.
According to Daqing's regulations, the prince can keep 300 soldiers in captivity, plus the other party is the commander of the border army, this number can be one or two hundred more.
Of course, it is impossible for Guan Sheng to send all his personal soldiers to himself.
Do the math, even if it's only half, it's enough for Li Chengjing.
He wanted to cause trouble, but he didn't want to attack the city, because there were too many people, he would make a mistake.
Seeing that the day of departure was approaching, a snowstorm suddenly fell inside and outside the border gates.
Thumb-sized snow flakes float down from the sky, like feathers, no wonder there is a saying that goose feathers are snowy.
He Kaishan looked at the snow half a leg deep in less than half a day, and said, "I'm afraid our departure time will be delayed!" ”
With such a heavy snowfall, it is very difficult to walk in the city, let alone march.
In the entire Hou Mansion, the people were clearing the snow and clearing the roads almost all the time.
Li Chengjing smiled: "It's okay, this kind of weather is a good thing, we feel that this kind of weather is inconvenient for marching, and the people of Yan Kingdom will also think the same." ”
He Kaishan asked in surprise, "Sir, is you trying to brave the heavy snow to march?" ”
Li Chengjing nodded noncommittally.
At this time, a personal soldier walked into the courtyard and said, "Li Zhaoguan, Master Hou is invited." ”
Li Chengjing followed his own soldiers and found that he had left the Hou Mansion and rode all the way to a barracks in a carriage.
Unlike the barracks of other garrisons, this place is very close to the Hou Mansion, and the number of people in it is not large, only three hundred.
The soldiers inside were practicing, and they did not have any impact because of the heavy snow, and they were all white and steaming, and the dragons were fierce.
Guan Sheng, on the other hand, stood in the wind and snow, watching the soldiers drill, followed by many pro-soldiers.
Li Chengjing stepped forward to salute, Guan Sheng stroked his gray beard and said, "How are these people?" ”
Li Chengjing smiled and said: "Elite soldiers! ”
Li Chengjing's magic eye can see the cultivation of Xuan Xiu, not to mention some mortals.
He found that although these people were not the kind of top masters in the rivers and lakes, they were also masters in the army, and they were one or two points higher than the threshing soldiers in terms of overall quality and personal combat strength.
Guan Sheng said with a smile: "These Erlangs are all carefully selected by the old man, you don't want to give me all of them." ”
It seems that these people are Guan Sheng's personal soldiers, no wonder the barracks can be placed in the city, and they are so close to the Hou Mansion.
Then, Guan Sheng introduced three people to Li Chengjing, namely Guan Zhong, Guan Yong, and Guan Meng.
They are all the sons of Guan Shenghou's mansion, and they have been favored by Guan Sheng since they were children and raised in the army.
It can be said that these three people will not do anything except be soldiers. Don't expect them to serve others like other children.
Of course, when it comes to cutting people, other families can't compare to them.
"I've seen Li Zhaoguan!" The three of them were not arrogant and saluted respectfully.
As the sons of the family, they are essentially just slaves of the Guan family, not even commoners, and their status is low.
Now he has been raised by Guan Sheng in the training of generals, removed from his lowly status, and promoted to general, but it is only a matter of time before he is loyal, so he is naturally loyal to Guan Sheng and grateful to Dade.
This is easier to reassure than the pro-soldiers selected from the army.
Guan Sheng said with a smile: "Seize this opportunity, if you can come back alive this time, the old man can clearly tell you that the commander will personally remove your lowly status for you and send you to the army as a general, but whether you are a general or a long, it depends on your performance this time!" ”
Guan Zhong's eyes were fiery all of a sudden, and they all thanked him, and then looked at Li Chengjing's gaze as if they could melt the snow around them.
Li Chengjing smiled: "It seems that the big handsome has been arranged, I don't know when I can set off!" ”
Guan Sheng was stunned for a moment and said: "This heavy snow, it is impossible to stop without three or two days of effort, and you can't go if you want to go now!" ”
Li Chengjing laughed and said, "Dashuai seems to have forgotten that Li is not a mortal!" ”
Guan Sheng realized it in a flash, and he didn't feel offended, and said with a smile: "But the old man is just a mortal, since Li Zhaoguan has a way to travel on a snowy day, it is all up to Li Zhaoguan to arrange." Heavy military food and equipment, all the items have already been prepared, and they can set off at any time! ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Li Chengjing, as if to say, if he has the ability, he will leave now.
Of course, Li Chengjing would not play a child's temper with him, and said with a smile: "In this case, prepare to set off tomorrow." ”
Back in the courtyard, Li Chengjing immediately activated a talisman. Then I took a pen and paper and began to write.
It didn't take long for a snow fox to come out of nowhere and come to Li Chengjing's side with a human-like expression on his face.
I saw him spit out words, and it turned out to be a sarcastic voice: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Li Chengjing nodded and said, "There is indeed an urgent matter, I need you to help me purchase some mountain talismans, I have already written the function, I hope to send it tomorrow morning at the latest!" ”
The fox shook his head and said in a dissatisfied voice: "Li Chengjing, you are here in Yanling Pass, there is a military aura everywhere, are you ready to kill me?" ”
Li Chengjing smiled and took out two Shasha Shading Talismans, put them in the envelope with his own letter paper, and said, "With this talisman paper, you don't have to worry about the war damaging your Taoism." ”
Seeing the two runes that Li Chengjing took out, the fox's eyes showed a humanized and excited look.
Li Chengjing said: "The silver two are owed first, and I will settle it when I come back from Yan Kingdom this time." ”
The fox took the envelope in his mouth and said vaguely, "Don't worry! ”
After saying that, the snow fox didn't know which dog hole he got out of and disappeared.
In the early morning of the second day, a fiery red figure fell from the sky, looked at Li Chengjing with a tired face, and said angrily: "If you want so many things, won't you ask for them in advance?" Next time, don't look for Lao Tzu for this kind of! ”
Hu Yan was a little angry, he never thought that Li Chengjing wanted so many things.
I saw him take out a bag from his bosom, shake it, and then fall out of it a wooden box about a foot long. When I opened it, I saw a dozen dozens of rune paper neatly placed inside.
Hu Yan glanced at it distressedly, and hurriedly said: "I don't want the hard-earned money, the number of purchases this time is too much, and the merchant has given a discount, a water amulet of five hundred taels of silver, a fire amulet of seven hundred taels of silver, and a talisman of one thousand taels of silver......"
Hu Yan was like a calculating businessman at the moment, reciting the price and quantity of each kind of rune paper to Li Cheng, and his tone was very resentful.
With so many runes, it can't be said that you can't buy them in Shangyi County, you can only say that you don't want to buy them in Yizi City for hundreds of miles.
He ran almost non-stop all over the border cities of Shangxie County and other county towns, and drained the homes of several nearby Baojia immortals before he could buy what Li Chengjing needed.
Li Chengjing covered the box, grabbed the bag in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer when I turn around!" Lend me this thing so that I can carry it in my money! ”
As he spoke, he put the five shady amulets in Hu Sarcast's hand and said, "Just rent the rent of your bag!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
