Chapter 41: To Kill or Not to Kill
Pei Zhou looked at the door of the inn: "There is such a big movement, and the defenders of Linzao Pass will also be alarmed." ”
The old man said with a smile: "The compensation of the inn, as well as this little grandfather, as well as the defenders of Linzao Pass, may as well be handed over to the old man to deal with, and Li Gongzi can recuperate his injuries with peace of mind." ”
Li Xuandu is not surprised that Pei Zhou can see that he is injured, he has never eaten pork but has seen a pig run, and he has stayed in Dijing, a place where Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon has been for a long time, and his vision is naturally good.
Li Xuandu nodded and walked down the stairs to the second floor.
Pei Zhu got out of the way, and Pei Yu followed behind Li Xuandu.
Walking to the door of the house on the second floor, Pei Yu had already run past Li Xuandu quickly and opened the door for him very doggedly.
Li Xuandu strode into it, and when Pei Yu was standing at the door hesitating whether to go in, he heard Li Xuandu turn his head and say: "Pei Yu, you tell your grandfather later, I will retreat for a few days, during this period, don't let people disturb me, and you'd better not leave the inn." ”
Pei Yu looked at Li Xuandu, and his face couldn't hide his worry: "Brother Li, are you okay?"
Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal. ”
Pei Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that he doesn't know that for Li Xuandu, it doesn't matter if he can't die.
After Pei Yu left, Li Xuandu waved his sleeves, and the two doors closed by themselves, and there was a layer of qi circulating visible to the naked eye.
Then Li Xuandu took out some bottles and jars from the "eighteenth floor", most of which were the remaining pills he used before, but as for the "Ziyang Pill" and other good things, they were gone. Fortunately, Li Xuandu has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has been injured many times, so he has become a good doctor for a long time, and after looking at it, he barely prepared a pair of calming and calming medicines from these remaining pills, about a dozen or so, large and small, large and small, large and small, small as rice grains, mainly black and red, which were all put in the palm of Li Xuandu's hand, and then swallowed in one go.
In fact, the injuries caused by Huyan Shengming and Fang Thirteen to Li Xuandu are secondary, mostly flesh wounds, what really makes Li Xuandu miserable is the "Anti-Heavenly Tribulation" and "Taiyin Thirteen Swords", if it is just a single one, Li Xuandu relies on what he has learned, and it is easy to deal with it, the key is that both attack at the same time, that is, press the gourd to float the scoop, so that Li Xuandu is left and right.
This couldn't help but remind Li Xuandu of a saying, ten fingers pressed ten fleas, and the result was that one finger couldn't move, which seemed to be powerful, but as long as one finger went wrong, it would trigger a series of consequences.
Li Xuandu sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, put his hands on his knees, and his breathing gradually became steady. To sit and forget into the realm of withering glory, to detect the obscure, to distinguish between good and evil, and to use the "gathering potential method" in the "Xuanwei True Technique" to get the dragon and tiger together, yin and yang.
After three days like this, Li Xuandu no longer wore the green cloth cotton robe, but changed into a brand-new crane and walked out of the door again, the injury cannot be said to have fully recovered, but it is generally unhindered, it can be regarded as being suppressed by Li Xuandu, but the more hearty the suppression at the moment, the greater the rebound in the future, and at that time, Li Xuandu may not be able to suppress it with all his might.
At this time, the inn has been renovated, and it can be said that it is completely new, which makes people mistakenly think that nothing has happened here.
At this time, the innkeeper was still standing behind the counter to settle accounts, the young man was sweeping with a broom, Pei Yu was sitting alone at a table in the lobby, without the style of the Pei family's little son, spreading a book on the table, and a bunch of melon seeds were placed next to it, and he was reading a book while knocking melon seeds.
When Pei Yu inadvertently turned his head and saw Li Xuandu, he immediately stopped caring about the script, and said excitedly: "Brother Li, are you out of the customs?"
Li Xuandu nodded, sat down with Pei Yu, and asked, "Where is your grandfather?"
Pei Yu divided more than half of the melon seeds in front of him and pushed them in front of Li Xuandu, and said in a low voice: "It seems that I went to see the guerrilla general in Linzao Pass." Brother Li, after you made a move, those Qingluanwei didn't dare to come back, and the little prince of Yan Guogong, I didn't expect the proprietress to be a hidden master, and the boss lady sealed the trick, and he was still locked in the firewood room at this time, and he didn't see anyone to save him. As for the guerrilla general in Linzaoguan, he didn't dare to enter the inn at all, so he just said a few words to my grandfather on the side of the street, and then turned around and left. There is also the inn, my grandfather was going to give money, but the proprietress said that she didn't want anything, saying that it was not in accordance with the rules, and I didn't quite understand what the rules were. ”
Li Xuandu peeled a few melon seeds and didn't say anything.
After a while, Pei Zhou walked into the inn.
Li Xuandu got up to greet him, but Pei Zhou walked quickly in front of Li Xuandu, and arched his hand: "Previously, Li Gongzi's healing was important, and the old man didn't dare to delay, but now that Li Gongzi has finished healing, he saved him twice, and the old man is grateful, please accept the old man's worship." ”
After the old man finished speaking, he was about to bow to Li Xuandu to the end, Li Xuandu naturally would not accept this gift calmly, and reached out to hold the old man's arm and hold it.
At the same time, Pei Zhou also got up very sensibly and bowed to Li Xuandu respectfully.
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I have been worshiped by Pei Yu today, and it is enough." ”
Pei Zhou didn't force it, and proposed to go to the small garden behind the inn with Li Xuandu, Li Xuandu had nothing to do, the two came to the back garden of the inn, Pei Zhou said softly: "That little prince is still in the firewood room of the inn, according to the old man's meaning, he was supposed to let him go, after all, Yan Guogong's reputation between the government and the opposition is not bad, but this person has threatened Li Gongzi many times between words before, so how to deal with it, I have to ask Li Gongzi to have an idea." ”
After Li Xuandu thought about it, he said: "Let it go, there is no need to make a mortal enmity with the Yanguo Mansion for the sake of a momentary mood." ”
Li Xuandu hesitated slightly, and added, "At least not now." ”
Pei Zhou used to be one of the Jiuqing, and immediately heard Li Xuandu's words, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Li Gongzi's words are the words of Lao Cheng. ”
Thinking of this, Pei Zhou couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
The reason why the four ministers were defeated and lost, or the reason why the Empress Dowager Xie and the King of Jin were able to win back then, was to grasp the essence of this point and make the clan, the nobles and those civil and military officials who opposed the four ministers join forces, which made the four ministers lose a big defeat.
Whether it is the current Qingliu or the imperial party, naturally they can't take this old road anymore, so the queen mother and the king of Jin are separated from each other, so they have a chance.
In this way, this Li Gongzi knows this very well.
Killing, you can, but you can't kill for the sake of killing, you have to understand what you kill for.
Murder is always a means, not an end.
