Li Xuandu was finally able to catch his breath.

was first devoured by the "Anti-Heaven Tribulation", and then crushed by a great master of the Heavenly and Human Realm with the vitality of heaven and earth, Rao is Li Xuandu, and he was almost on the verge of collapse - not because of the collapse of his spiritual will, but because his body was already unbearable.

After Li Xuandu dragged his seriously injured body out of a distance, he stood still with his back against a big tree, silently running the "Sitting and Forgetting Zen Gong" to alleviate the injuries in his body, and his face changed from old to young.

At this time, the battle between Qin Xiang and Gu Tuo had gradually moved away from the falling flower platform, leaving a mess, countless big trees were affected by the two of them and broke into several sections, the soil rolled, the black soil and the white falling snow mixed together, and became more and more muddy. In this mud, the "cold beauty" who was previously knocked away lay quietly on the ground.

After Li Xuandu finished breathing, he stepped forward to pick it up, and found that there were already slight cracks on the knife body, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry, under the fierce battles, the "cold beauty" who was just a low-grade treasure was already a little overwhelmed, and now the plan was either to return the "cold beauty" to the furnace and recast it, or to change the sword.

In any case, Li Xuandu is still a swordsman, and when the natal sword cannot be used often in the "human world", it is not a long-term solution to use the sword all the time.

But that's all for later, and the immediate priority is the current situation.

Li Xuandu walked out of the dense forest with a knife and returned to the falling flower platform.

At this time, the smoke created by the "mirage thunder" had gradually dissipated, and many gentry saw the situation clearly and gathered around the Qian family.

As for Chen Fang, the supervisor of the Weaving Bureau, Zhao Shixian, the governor of Jiangnan, and a group of their entourage, they were nowhere to be seen at this time, and they should have retreated while the chaos was in place.

Come to think of it, the Weaving Bureau and the Governor's Mansion are not clever in their planning, the key is just a surprise, if others know the specific plan, it is not difficult to break the situation, things have developed to this point, the two are already in a dilemma, originally the two of them can also hope to wipe out the Qian family in order to break the situation, and now with Qin Xiang's escape, it has become unrealistic, so it is reasonable for the two to retreat.

Li Xuandu turned around and walked towards the other prisoner car, transported a few gas engines, and smashed the cages one by one, after Qiu Anqing saw Li Xuandu again, he didn't know what to say: "Li ...... Mr. Lee......"

Li Xuandu waved his hand: "Gossip will be recounted later." ”

As he spoke, Li Xuandu also cut off the shackles on their wrists one by one.

After many of Qin Xiang's old subordinates thanked Li Xuandu, they began to choose a place to restore their qi.

Li Xuandu thought about it, returned to Sun Yiqi's corpse, cut off his head, and then went to Qian Yulong's side.

At this time, Qian Yulong seemed to have become the backbone of the Qian family, and was surrounded by many people in the middle, but when he saw Li Xuandu coming, he still lined up and came to the side alone with Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu put down Sun Yiqi's head first, and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Qian Yulong didn't look at the head, but looked at Li Xuandu, his eyes were sincere and kind, and asked, "Is the Purple Mansion okay?"

When Li Xuandu heard this, he couldn't help but think of a sage allusion about "don't ask horses".

The saint is the Confucian Dacheng Holy Master, once in the court as an official, at that time in the home to raise a lot of famous horses, gold is hard to find, one day the stable fire, the saint retired after returning, do not ask how the horse is, but ask how the person is, it can be seen that the saint has a mind. There is no shortage of such deeds in later generations, such as the capsizing of a large ship, and the owner of the ship only asks about people and not about the ship.

Today's Qian Yulong, whether he is sincere or deliberate, already has a posture that he should have as a superior person.

Li Xuandu's answer was very brief: "It's not a big deal." ”

Then he said, "Let's get down to business." ”

Qian Yulong put on a posture of listening attentively.

Li Xuandu said: "This time the matter is not simple, in addition to the Dao Sect in collusion between Qian Yulou and the Weaving Bureau, there are also people from the Dao Sect who are also involved, according to Qin Dudu, the old man who blocked him in Dongting Lake is named Gu Tuo, and he is one of the ten elders of the Dao Sect. ”

Qian Yulong rubbed his chin lightly and said, "The battle of Dongting Lake was led by the governor of Jingchu, which means that the two governors of my Great Wei Dynasty have colluded with the Northwest Zhou State? But that's right, whether it is to cede land and seek peace, or to collude with foreign enemies, this does not prevent them from being the governor and prime minister, but once they lose the party battle, they will be wiped out. For them, the death of the country is a small matter, and the death of the family is a big matter. ”

Li Xuandu tilted his head slightly, and asked a heart-wrenching sentence: "What about the Qian family? For the Qian family, is the family a big family, or a national university?"

Qian Yulong laughed and said, "Under the nest, there are eggs." ”

Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, if there are really no eggs under the nest, then when the dynasties change dynasties, there will not be so many local gentry who will descend from the wind." ”

The smile on Qian Yulong's face gradually disappeared, and he said, "The Purple Mansion is very far-reaching, and the plan is very big. ”

Li Xuandu looked at the battlefield not far away, and said without emotion: "Brother Qian, have you ever thought that if one day, the Northwest Army or the Iron Cavalry of the Golden Horde will sweep the world and come to the city of Jinling Mansion, at that time, it will not be the governor of Jiangnan who can call the shots, but you, the head of the Qian family, how will you choose? If the enemy army outside the city says that surrendering can save the lives of the people in the city, and if you refuse to surrender, you will slaughter the city after the city is broken, how will you choose?"

Li Xuandu looked at Qian Yulong and said softly: "The Qian family's hundred years of honor and disgrace and the lives of the people in the city are tied to your thoughts, and they are on your shoulders...... Do you dare to be the backbone of the world?"

Qian Yulong was completely silent.

After a long time, Qian Yulong asked, "Please advise Zifu." ”

"I can't talk about advice. Li Xuandu said slowly: "If it were me, I would choose not to surrender." ”

"In fact, the reason is also very simple, if Jinling Mansion is slaughtered, whose fault is it? It is not the fault of the people who defend the city, but the sins of the people who slaughtered the city. If Jinling Mansion can be preserved, it is definitely not the credit of the people who surrendered. ”

"Then there is, who is it for to surrender and not kill? It is for those who intend to stick to it. In other words, if there are no such people who hold on to surrender, then where can they surrender and not kill?

"Don't say anything about why you should kill the people since you surrendered, since ancient times, the soldiers were fierce, and if they didn't kill the people, where did they get the money, food, and women? Since ancient times, after the city was broken, there have been countless cases of conniving soldiers to loot for three days, and the history books can learn from it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuandu paused slightly, and then said abruptly: "When I was a child, I occasionally caught a few sparrows, but I couldn't keep them alive. ”

"Later I learned that sparrows are extremely fierce birds, and they are not usually caught. Because after being put in a cage, they usually do not eat or drink, and die quickly, so they have no value to catch. But at first, the world did not know this, until someone caught the sparrows, put them in cages, and witnessed the death of these flamingos, that they came to the experience that they could not catch sparrows and raise them. It is precisely because there is a precedent that the later sparrows will not be caught on a large scale. Think about it, if the earliest sparrows were easily succumbed, would there be many people who would catch sparrows and put them in cages?"

Qian Yulong glanced at Li Xuandu deeply, and arched his hand: "Be taught." ”

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "Of course, I hope that there will not be this day, and Brother Qian will never make this choice." ”

Qian Yulong said: "I also hope so." ”

While the two were talking, many of Qin Xiang's old troops had recovered their combat strength one after another and began to enter the battlefield, so the evil people began to retreat one after another.

Although it is still the garrison of the Governor's Palace under the Luohua Stage, it is no longer in the way of the overall situation.

Unless Zhao Shixian is crazy, he will use the army to slaughter the gentry in the city, not to mention that he can't do it, the soldiers under the Governor's Mansion are mostly local sons and daughters in Jiangzhou, and these gentry are the largest landlords and heroes in Jiangzhou, and most of the generals in the army are from major families in Jiangzhou, I don't know how many entanglements between the two, Zhao Shixian let the soldiers of Jiangzhou kill the gentry in Jiangzhou, which is equivalent to letting them kill their own families, and the consequence of doing so can only be to bomb the camp and mutiny.

Qian Yulong said softly: "The overall situation has been decided. ”
