Volume 1 Chang'an Chapter 38 Hua Ming (3)
Song Yuanqiao didn't believe that Li Ye would kill him.
The thieves went and returned to attack the mountain village at night, the children of the clan fell into a melee, the situation was extremely unfavorable, Li Ye's status was noble, and Song Yuanqiao rushed to respond, all of which were logical and flawless.
Song Yuanqiao believed that he could kill Li Ye.
He was going to say a few words to Li Ye first, and after letting the other party relax, he would attack and kill the other party unexpectedly.
However, the facts were completely contrary to Song Yuanqiao's expectations.
Lu Gujian pierced through his abdomen, Song Yuanqiao completely lost his combat power, his aura and strength had plummeted for thousands of miles, and the fear of death drowned him like a tide, making his twin strands tremble slightly.
But Song Yuanqiao is not dead yet, he is a monk in the Qi refining period after all, if there is a panacea, the rescue is timely, there may not be no possibility of survival, he turned back with difficulty and stretched out his hand to the soap-clothed official: "Save ...... Help me......"
The soapy official is a middle-aged man, with ordinary facial features and an ordinary figure, which makes him very suitable for hiding his true identity, and he is very angry at this time: "His Royal Highness King An, why do you want to kill people for no reason?!"
Li Ye shook his head: "Kill people for no reason? No, no, you want to kill me first." β
The soap-clothed officer said angrily: "We are obviously here to save you, why did we want to kill you?"
Li Ye laughed: "Since you arrived in Luoping Village, you have always wanted to kill me, but you just didn't succeed." β
The soap-clothed official was furious: "Why does King An want to spew blood? What is the purpose of you doing this?!"
Li Ye sighed and admired: "I really can't imagine that you still have a good performance-you are not a county official, but Li Guanshu's person, is what I said wrong?"
The soapy official was slightly stunned: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Li Ye sneered: "Before I came, I investigated the situation in Juxian County, and with the help of Wang Shilang, I was able to find out everything I wanted to know." Most of the officials in Juxian County have a close relationship with Li Guanshu, and Song Yuanqiao is a relative of Li Guanshu...... As for you, you were sent by Li Guanshu, right? You pretended to be an official, didn't you come for me?"
The soap-clothed official's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly covered it up: "King An's words, I don't understand!"
"Then say something you understandβwhy don't you do it yet?" Li Ye looked at the other party.
"Because you can't run!" said the soapy officer.
Li Ye supported Song Yuanqiao and also let him stand in front of him, he looked at the man in soap: "You are very confident." β
The man in soap snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, and casually slammed a palm at the old locust tree outside the courtyard.
I don't know how many years the old locust tree has grown, the trunk is thick and one person can't hug it, and the branches and leaves are even bigger than the house, but under the palm of the man in soap, it burst directly like tofu.
Leaves and debris flew like clouds, falling to the ground and forming a carpet.
The attackers, who were fighting with the children of various groups of clans, were attracted by the great movement here, and many people rushed over.
The man in soap looked at Li Ye contemptuously, it was a master's look down on the weak: "The fifth layer of Qi training, should you have self-confidence?"
Li Ye nodded: "In this way, you are really Xing Guogong's person, how can there be a master of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation from just an official in Ju County?"
"Yes and no?" the soapy man grimaced.
"The two groups of attackers who appeared today are both Xing Guogong's people, right?" Li Yehu's words were shocking.
The soap-clothed man's pupils suddenly constricted: "What did you say?"
Li Ye sneered: "If I guessed correctly, there are no so-called thieves in this Niushou Mountain, and the thieves we see are just people pretending." β
The soap-clothed man's hand shook, and he was about to make a move, he said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness King An, are you joking?"
Li Ye became more and more calm, and he said slowly: "You don't want to know, how did I know that you and Song Yuanqiao wanted to kill me?"
The soap-clothed man fell silent, the answer to this question was the direct cause of their failure in action, and now they were subject to people, he was curious.
He soon realized that the attackers had rushed towards the small farm yard and were surrounding it on all sides, which made him feel a little reassured. glanced at Song Yuanqiao, the other party's body was trembling all the time, and the blood kept dripping, accumulating in front of his feet, if it wasn't for the monk in the Qi refining period, he was afraid that he would have died long ago.
A trace of worry flashed in the soap-clothed man's eyes, although the other party was only a county lieutenant, and his cultivation was only one level of qi training, but he was from a big family, if he let Song Yuanqiao die in front of him, the soap-clothed man would have countless troubles.
The man in soap glanced at Li Ye: "I and the county lieutenant of Song will never harm the heart of King An." β
Li Ye sneered and said: "You are a master, even if you pretend to be an official, you can't hide your temperament, you are really young, you can't even find this?" Today, there is a fierce battle on the riverside, although the attackers attack us and others, but I have suffered too much care, only I and the Lord of Lijun have five people......
"You know that I defeated Li Yao, and I am afraid of my strength, so you chose to fight in close combat this time, this guy with a golden hammer is good at assassination, if it weren't for the timely support of Lord Li, if it weren't for my proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, he would have been able to sneak attack a long time ago, and the same is true tonight, if I hadn't been prepared, with his skill, I would have been difficult to react. β
Speaking of this, Li Ye laughed: "I know that Li Guanshu will not give up, and this assessment is an opportunity for him." β
The soap-clothed official stared at Li Ye deadly: "What does the attacker's behavior have to do with us?"
Li Ye sneered: "I said, there are no thieves in this mountain, the so-called thieves are just pretending to be you - everything in Luoping Village is just a play." β
"Why did the attackers appear in large numbers in Luoping Village? Only if they knew in advance that we were going to be here, they would set up an ambush on the riverside. Why did the attackers attack us? If they were thieves in the mountains, why did they take the liberty of attacking our background? And if they knew our details, they should understand how much trouble it would cause to attack the children of the clan and the prince and the lord of the county, and how severe the retaliation of the imperial court would be, and even if they were ready to rise up, there should not be such a strategic mistake. β
"The thieves rebelled for fame and fortune, not death, and the injured attackers on the riverside, after the teleportation array was activated, actually committed suicide in unison - this is the act of the dead. Not to mention, the existence of a teleportation array in the barren grass is unreasonable, and the teleportation array was activated too quickly, if you hadn't made up your mind to flee a long time ago, how could there be such an arrangement?"
Li Ye shook his head: "There are too many doubts. β
The soap-clothed official's face turned pale, but he still forced his composure: "These are just speculations, even if the thieves behave abnormally, it can't be said that they are pretending to be others, we don't know much about the thieves, who knows what their plans are!"
Li Ye chuckled: "What you said is right, if it is just like this, I will assume that the attacker is your person, which is indeed too arbitrary." However, the old farmer Song Yuanqiao found in the village was your flaw. When I asked the old farmer about it, I asked Shangguan to go to pick citrus and trample on the crops, but the old farmer turned a blind eye...... Have you ever farmed? Probably not. β
"If this is not the case, you should know how much the farmer values the crops, even if we are noble, even if the Shangguan does not trample on the bad wheat, even if the farmer is not in a hurry, he will definitely be heartbroken. Do you dare to find out the old farmer again and ask me about it?"
The soap-clothed official almost moved his fingers slightly, and he almost couldn't help but make a move, killing Li Ye, he glanced at Song Yuanqiao, and finally held back, and continued to quibble: "King An's imagination is really rich, but you ignore one point, why do we do this?"
Li Ye looked at the soapy official: "Of course you have your purpose. This purpose is not difficult to see. You're here for the Taoist temple on the mountain, right?"
The soap-clothed official's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief.
Li Ye sighed and said: "I don't know what kind of festival Li Guanshu has with the Taoist temple on the mountain. But I know that Li Guanshu wants to get rid of this Taoist temple, but he doesn't have the ability. β
It is precisely because he does not have this ability that Li Guanshu needs to charge the Taoist temple with a crime of rebellion, so as to destroy the Taoist temple with the help of the power of the imperial court. Therefore, from beginning to end, there were no thieves who harmed the village, this was just a false accusation by you to the Taoist temple. β
"After the planting is over, someone has to come and convict the Taoist temple. Li Guanshu has a lot of influence in the court, so he has some operations and let us investigate this case, which is really a wonderful arrangement. Because we, the children of the clan, have not been deeply involved in the world, and have not been out of Chang'an much before, we have not been tempered by secular affairs, whether it is our heart or intelligence, it is relatively simple. β
"When we were ambushed in Luoping Village, we must be annoyed and hated the thieves, and we investigated in the village and learned the 'identity' of the attacker, and we will not suspect anything, we will only think about revenge and meritorious service to pass the assessment, so we will not think too much, and the identity of the thief in Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple is so confirmed. β
The muscles on the soapy official's face twitched, he took a deep breath, and looked at Li Ye's eyes full of surprise: "But Lord Li, they have already gone to the Taoist Temple, if this is really the case, they will find out the clues." β
Li Ye smiled: "So you arranged tonight's attack, if my expectations are correct, you have already contacted the county lord Li and others through the summoning of Yu Jian, and asked them to hurry back to help, right? β
"And after tonight's attack, we are bound to be even more frightened of the thieves, and we dare not go to the Taoist temple again, not to mention, there is a prince who has died here...... Therefore, the children of the clan will leave in a hurry to avoid falling into a deeper crisis. When the Lord of Lijun saw that I was dead, even if I didn't lose all my thoughts, I wouldn't want to go to the Taoist Temple again, and Li Jing'an would not be alone without the Lord of Lijun to accompany him. β
The soapy official was dumbfounded, and looked at Li Ye's eyes as if he was looking at a monster: "You...... You even thought of that?"
"What, now admit it?" Li Ye chuckled, "It's a quick move." β
The soapy officer drew his long sword, "It doesn't matter if I admit it, as long as I kill you, no one will know about it." In the past, seven people joined forces to attack, it was best to kill you, but not to kill you, and if we do it again, now it is just a few more deaths. β
"Song Yuanqiao is in my hands, I just observed, you are quite concerned about him, so you haven't done it, if I guessed correctly, your status is low, you dare not let Song Yuanqiao die in front of you, do you want to do it now?" Li Ye's eyes were guarded.
The soap-clothed official sneered: "Now, your life is more important than him." β
"In this way, your conspiracy this time, in a word, is nothing more than two aspects, one is to frame the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple, and the other is to kill me by the way. Li Ye looked at the soapy official and said seriously: "But I will run, you can't kill me." β
The soap-clothed official said contemptuously: "The reason why I have waited so long is because I am afraid of your strength, if you can defeat Yao Gongzi, you should have the means to press the bottom of the box." But now, the people outside the courtyard have surrounded this place, so you can't escape!"
"Okay!" Li Ye exclaimed, "But how do you know that I'm not delaying the hour when I talk to you so much?"
"You procrastinate......" The soapy official wanted to say that you were procrastinating, but halfway through the words, his face suddenly changed greatly, "You ......"
"Looks like you've figured it out. Obviously, what I just told you was something I had thought of a long time ago, so this afternoon, I also explained the matter to the county lord of Li through the summons of Yu Jian, and after they got my news, what reason did they have to go to the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple?" Li Ye looked at him playfully.
"They're back?" said the soap-clad officer took a step back, looking left and right, bewildered.
"Not only is it back, but my communication jade slip has been open. Li Ye smiled even more, "They also heard your conversation with me, and this is the evidence of your crime." So, from now on, not only will you finish, but Li Guanshu will also finish!"
