Chapter 9: Shock
The immortal court monks brought by the white-robed old Taoist were surrounded and defeated by You Daxiao and others, and a few of them died and escaped, and the Taoist temple, which was still noisy and noisy, quickly returned to quiet.
Those Daoists in the Taoist temple, whose cultivation was the highest level, were only at the high level of Qi cultivation, and they fled far away when the battle occurred. Such a battle is not something they can meddle in, not even a bystander.
Li Ye didn't kill Wang Jingchong, he still had to take the other party to Zhenzhou, and when the Pinglu Army rode 10,000 steps to receive the city, Wang Jingchong still had a little effect.
Li Ye handed over Wang Jingchong to You Daxiao, and came to Liu Zhixing and Zhao Weihuang by himself. The two of them were covered in dust, stained with blood, and the wounds were bleeding non-stop, how embarrassed and embarrassed they were.
All but they died in the rubble, including the young and beautiful Confucian woman. Now her limp body lay in the ruins, blood staining the broken wood under her belly, and the color of her robe was like dust.
After Liu Zhixing dug her out of the rubble and reached out to probe the other party's snort, he didn't do anything else. His expression did not look very sad, probably for him, the death of a woman was not enough to cause much pain to a scholar whose heart was full of family and country and ambitions.
Seeing Li Ye coming over, Liu Zhixing struggled to occupy it, he struggled to stand up straight and straighten his waist, but it was all in vain.
However, he still glared at Li Ye angrily, and scolded angrily with righteous words: "Indiscriminately killing innocents, Rao is now in power, and you will also perish! This world does not belong to you, coveting things that do not belong to you, you will only harm others and yourself!"
Li Ye smiled, calm and indifferent, he asked, "The world doesn't belong to me, does it belong to you?"
Liu Zhixing puffed out his chest to show that he was fearless, "The world belongs to the king of benevolence and virtue, and belongs to the lord who has won the hearts of the people and is supported by all the people, you are just a remnant of the old dynasty, and you are destined to become a martyr for the collapse of the dynasty!"
Li Ye shook his head, looking a little disappointed, he waved his hand, as if to dispel the stench floating in front of him, "Bullshit doesn't make sense." ”
By the time he finished saying this, Liu Zhixing had already fallen, his life was cut off, and his eyes were wide when he was dying.
Li Ye looked at Zhao Weihuang: "Then what do you think? Do you also think that I am not the king of benevolence and virtue, and I am bound to perish?"
Zhao Weihuang's injuries were relatively minor. Although the soldier monk left the battle formation and couldn't exert his cultivation, after all, his physique was better, and he was not comparable to a weak scholar, so he could still stand straight.
Zhao Weihuang does not have Liu Zhixing's strong righteousness and awe-inspiring color, his demeanor and demeanor are very normal, only the indelible Jin Ge fierce spirit of the soldiers, he will not lose it.
Listening to Li Ye's words, Zhao Weihuang snorted coldly: "The soldiers are different from those scholars who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact have a deeper mind than one and a more vicious heart, and the court will be corrupted to this point, all of which is caused by these people fighting for power and profit." What family and country are in the world, they are just words on their lips, and when it comes to the power that is related to their own future, those are all things that can be discarded. ”
"In the final analysis, half of the reason why the world is in chaos is that the king is stupid, and the other half is these scholars. Our soldiers and monks fought in the troubled times, and in the final analysis, we still cleaned up the mess left by these faint kings and scholars. Although King An went against the sky and could not prosper the Tang Dynasty, it was not because he was not benevolent enough. In fact, King An is benevolent enough, this is something that everyone in the world knows, Confucian scholars do not admit it, but we soldiers will not admit it. ”
This remark made Li Ye a little interested, although it was not true, but there was some truth. It can be seen that the soldiers and Confucians are not pleasing to anyone, as if they have different hatreds.
The scholar felt that the martial artist was vulgar and did not know loyalty, righteousness and shame, but he had thousands of troops and horses, which was the source of the world's troubles and should be severely suppressed. The soldiers and monks felt that the scholars were hypocritical and black-hearted, and they fought for their own selfish interests all day long under the guise of supporting the society, but in fact they could not accomplish anything, and they were the moths of the society.
Li Ye asked with a smile: "It seems that you are also a soldier general, can you tell King Gu why the soldier chose Li Maozhen?"
With Li Maozhen's annexation of Wang Chongrong and the attack on Chang'an, it was revealed that he was supported by the soldiers, and this matter was not a secret to the princes.
Zhao Weihuang deserved: "Because of the temper." ”
Li Ye was slightly stunned, this reason was too rash.
But when you think about it, the reason is not so simple. It's easy to talk about temper, but it's actually difficult, Li Maozhen's style of acting is probably very popular with the soldiers' families. What this guy wants to do, he rarely hides it, and he doesn't put a righteous lie on himself, he just does it simply.
Li Ye looked at Zhao Weihuang with a pleasing eye: "I heard that you brought five generals and two generals?"
Zhao Weihuang looked at Li Ye and said: "Now that we are in the hands of King An, if we want to kill or kill King An, we will follow King An." However, King An also knew that except for those Confucian scholars, no one was in a hurry to die, and if King An was willing, we could also fight for King An. ”
Li Ye smiled even more: "You are refreshing and direct." ”
Zhao Weihuang said: "The world is impermanent, people can't help themselves in troubled times, and even if the soldiers and monks want to die, they will die on the battlefield." Although King An does not have the luck of Zhongxing Datang, after all, he is a famous man of lofty ideals, and being able to follow King An to fight is not an insult to our cultivation!"
Li Ye nodded: "Although the Lone King is not sure whether you will be secretly evil, but since you dare to vote for the Lone King, the Lone King will dare to use you, come with me." ”
Zhao Weihuang clenched his fists: "King Xie An!"
Li Ye took Wang Jingchong, Zhao Weihuang and others to leave this mountain Taoist temple, take off and fly, and soon arrived in Zhenzhou City.
After waiting for a day, the Pinglu army rode 10,000 steps across Tuoshui and arrived at the foot of Zhenzhou. Wang Jingchong was also very cooperative, and according to Li Ye's instructions, he ordered the Chengde army to sit in the military camp and handed over the Zhenzhou city defense to the Pinglu army.
Wang Jingchong had to cooperate, he didn't want to die. Moreover, even if he dies, Cheng Dejun may not be able to stop Li Ye, and the final result will still be under Li Ye's command. Who let Li Ye get the news early enough to arrest them all?
If Li Ye arrives a few days late, and when Zhao Weihuang, Liu Xingshen and others are in place to preside over the military administration of Chengde, Wang Jingchong can still hide in the barracks to avoid being assassinated by Li Ye. But now, it's all a luxury.
The first thing Chengde did after "returning to obedience" was to post a notice announcing that Chengde would belong to Li Ye from now on. Punish traitorous ministers, Ping Huangchao, Li Ye has long been famous, and the people of Chengde learned that it is now King An in charge, most of them are very happy, and many people even run to tell each other.
After Li Ye received a group of people's luck in Chengde, he left some demon monks in Zhenzhou, and continued to go north non-stop.
In the north, there are also two feudal towns in Dingzhou Yiwu Festival and Youzhou Lulong Festival.
Yiwu Jiedu made the strength weaker, Li Ye didn't think that the other party could make any trouble, but Youzhou Lu Longjun was very strong. Because it is the northernmost feudal town, it has the responsibility of defending the border, and the Lu Long army has fought with the grassland peoples, and there are many generals in the army.
However, Liu Rengong, the envoy of Youzhou Lu Longjun, actually has a good relationship with Li Ye.
In the early years, when Li Ye was still in Chang'an, the first to deal with the ministers Kang Junli, Wei Baoheng and others, when Kang Junli went out of the town of Hedong, he had the meaning of controlling the Hebei Domain, and Li Keyong's father Li Guochang had many conflicts.
At that time, Li Guochang's power swelled and threatened the surrounding feudal towns, after Li Ye attacked and killed Kang Junli, in order to splash dirty water on Li Guochang, he cooperated with the envoy of Youzhou Lulong Jiedu, and later had a lot of contacts with Youzhou Jinguan.
Li Ye went out of the town of Pinglu, although it was quite far away from Youzhou, but the two sides have been in correspondence, Liu Rengong relied on Li Ye's power, and Li Ye also had a lot of contact with Liu Rengong for the future plan - that is, the current plan.
Now Li Ye is traveling north to Youzhou, and he really wants to settle the matter of Lu Longjun peacefully. After all, Lu Longjun has made meritorious contributions to the stability of the Central Plains.
......
It's day and night, and the Youzhou Festival is the embassy's mansion.
In a dimly lit courtyard, the sound of men's heavy breathing, mixed with the soft and suppressed shouts of women, accompanied by the creaking of the bed, has an indescribable meaning in the dark night.
The noise continued for half an hour before it ended, and it was not long before the door was gently opened, and a young man hurried out of the room with his belt on his belt.
"Wrongdoer, why are you in such a hurry to leave, what does it matter if you stay here with the slave family tonight? A white lotus root arm stretched out from inside the door and took the young man's hand.
When the young man heard this soft voice, his bones were about to melt, but he still pressed down the woman's arm, "I don't know when the feast will end, why rush to this time? ”
The graceful and charming woman leaned against the door frame, wrapped in only a gauze garment, her shoulders were half exposed, and her delicate body was as boneless as autumn water. She said angrily: "You guy is cowardly, according to the slave family, your father ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was stunned, looking behind the young man in horror,
The young man turned around in astonishment, and found an old man in a black robe standing at the moon gate, staring at him with an angry face. And on the other side, there were several monks with powerful aura.
"Father...... Father?!" The young man Liu Shouguang was shocked, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
"You rebel, you dare to commit adultery with your mother-in-law, I have to kill you today!" Liu Rengong, an elderly man, picked up a long stick and hit Liu Shouguang.
Liu Shouguang was so frightened that his soul was scattered, he could see clearly, the long stick in Liu Rengong's hand was a magic weapon of no low grade! With the cultivation of the other party's real realm, if the long stick hit him with all his strength, he would have to be crippled if he didn't die.
Realizing that his father had a murderous intent, Liu Shouguang could still stand, and hurriedly fled in panic.
However, his cultivation was a little lower, and he was finally beaten several times by Liu Rengong. Fortunately, under the anger of the other party, his mood was unbalanced, and he had no rules to shoot, so he escaped from the mansion after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing Liu Shouguang fleeing, Liu Rengong was so angry that he threw away the long stick and turned his head to look at the woman.
"Husband!" the woman snorted, and she was already paralyzed to the ground with fright, "Husband, spare your life!"
"You shameless slut!" Liu Rengong waved out his palm, and the palm wind directly destroyed the woman.
After Liu Shouguang escaped from the Jiedu Embassy, he did not return to his house, he did not dare, for fear that Liu Rengong would send someone to arrest him.
When he was escaping on the street, he met a general of Lu Longjun who was patrolling halfway, he hurriedly ran over, knelt down in front of the other party, and cried bitterly: "Uncle save me!"
The general didn't know why, so he hurriedly helped the other party up: "What happened?"
Liu Shouguang wanted to lie, but he hesitated for a while, and under the other party's words, he still told the truth in shock. The general's face changed, "You are looking for death!"
"Uncle save me!" Liu Shouguang knelt on the ground and hugged the other party's legs, "My mother is dead, I can only rely on my uncle now!"
The general's face was cloudy, changing for a while, and finally gritted his teeth: "Liu Shuai is old, he has not wanted to make progress all these years, and he has been indifferent to the chaos in the world, which has made many generals dissatisfied." Let's just stop doing it, contact the generals in the army, abolish Liu Shuai, and make you the envoy of the festival!"
Liu Shouguang was overjoyed: "Uncle has a good plan, so let's do it!"
