Chapter 23 (4)

Li Yijie only hearsay about these things, and he did not personally participate in them. After Lu Qian was recognized by Nangong Xue, he fought against the two everywhere, and he hated him very much at that time, but after six years, he lived in the Yinxue Palace, and most of his mind was consumed. Knowing that Lu Qian was not dead, he was indeed happy for him, and hoped that he would go through the calamity and change his temperament, and said: "I will visit you Taihang Mountain today, not to play in the mountains and rivers, what is the meaning of coming, presumably the Lord of Lu Dazhai also has a spectrum in his heart." I know that Brother Lu Xian has a broad vision, and what he has always longed for is supreme power......" Lu Qian smiled and said: "The one who knows me is none other than Brother Li!"

Li Yijie smiled stiffly, turned to the topic, and said: "But Brother Lu has ever thought that you stay in Taihang Mountain to be your master of the free village, and you are an enemy of the imperial court, and you seem to be old at this end, and you are just a little mountain king with a bad name and bad words, and it is difficult to leave a good name in the historical books of later generations, isn't it inconsistent with Brother Lu's pursuit?"

Lu Qian smiled lightly: "That's not necessarily, the king in the cottage is always stronger than a dog at the emperor's feet." I, the lord of the big village, are just happy, and I don't want to follow Brother Li, and be a low-level petty official in the court, relying on shaking my head and tail to please my master and ask for a moment of comfort. The gentleman did something, but he didn't do something, so he had to refuse Brother Li's kindness. ”

Li Yijie listened to his harsh words, ridiculed himself every sentence, suppressed his anger, and was still trying to discuss, and said: "This is not out of the personal opinion of the younger brother, but it is really a decree of the Lord of Long Live that I will recruit An Qingtianzhai, and those who surrender will be forgiven." If you feel that your ambition is not paid, you can join the three banners, and the emperor will be in charge, and those who do not want to be officials are not reluctant, and if the road expenses are insufficient, the court will provide silver taels. Lord Lu Dazhai, this condition has been opened very generously, and the opportunity must not be lost, don't be obsessed and anger Tianyan. I'll give you a month to prepare, and if you want to return me to Li Yijie is friend, just listen to my advice and don't embarrass my brother. ”

Before Lu Qian could reply, a richly dressed one-armed young man beside him took a step forward and said coldly: "What are you talking about? Just a few words to end Qingtianzhai? Don't ask what kind of place is this! What kind of crime have we committed and need you to pardon it? What is the great thing about the Manchu court? Do you think that my Qingtianzhai will really live in this Taihang Mountain for the rest of my life? When our soldiers and horses are ready, we will immediately send troops to Beijing and drive them all back to their hometown in the northeast, and then the lord of Dazhai will be the emperor, and you will all have to kneel and beg for mercy. I advise you to know some current affairs, please land the lord of the village as soon as possible, and leave a small life in the future. ”

The generals of the Qing court who came with Li Yijie changed color on their faces and were ready to scold. Lu Qian raised his hand, smiled secretly, and said, "Isn't it just Zhao'an? The young man hurriedly said: "The master of Dazhai ......" Li Yijie was happy in his heart, and said secretly: "Brother Lu has seen a lot of the world, and he is really more sensible than others, this is easy to do!" Busy digging on his body, he said: "I have the emperor's handwritten oracle here, no matter how much you are not enough, I can also find some court veterans and elite debaters......

Lu Qian had a smile on his face, walked towards Li Yijie with square steps, paced back and forth in front of him, and said, "Brother Li, don't need to be so troublesome. Even if you invite ten lobbyists, everyone is like a river, and it can't be said that it will move me Lu Qian to change his mind. Li Yijie said: "Then what do you want?"

Lu Qian's smile became more and more cunning, and said: "This matter is easy to say, difficult to say, but it is not difficult. As long as Li Dashuai sends your beautiful baby sister to Taihang Mountain and makes me the wife of the village, and she blows the wind on my pillow every day, I can live for three and a half years, maybe I will still think about it. ”

Li Yijie was furious, without saying a word, he slammed his fist at the door in front of him, Lu Qian leaned back slightly, grabbed his wrist, and smiled calmly: "Brother Li, if you have something to say, why bother to be rude?"

Li Yijie tried his best to endure it, shook his hand away, and gritted his teeth and said: "Such shameless words, you can still say it? If it weren't for the imperial court's decree to recruit peace today, just because you insulted my junior sister, I would have to beat you up strongly!"

Lu Qian said: "It's too late for me to cherish and love Senior Sister Nangong, how can I bully her? No matter how beautiful she is, she is the emperor's woman after all! You keep calling for the things of eating the king and being loyal to the king, and you dare to be bold and arrogant, the wife of the adulterer, and defile the court? Since you don't like Xue'er, why don't you tell her directly, and you still want to occupy her by your side, hang her people, and make her cry for you?"

Li Yijie shouted: "Shut up! I am sincere to Yun'er, I come above board, worthy of heaven and earth! But I can put myself in a clear position, in the past six years, I have been affectionate and polite, and I have never violated her at all, and the two of us are innocent! What is the wife of a prostitute, shut your dog's mouth for me! As for Xue'er, I grew up with her since I was a child, and I have always only regarded her as a sister, and she treats me sincerely, and I am also very moved, and I have no choice but to bear her. I didn't make it clear, I just didn't want to hurt her!"

Lu Qian sneered: "What you say is good, let me tell you, this is just a ridiculous excuse for you to settle your own conscience! It is precisely because you never give her a clear answer, such an attitude of not being up or down is the greatest harm to her! You let her always have illusions, but never fulfill them, causing her to waste her time in waiting, waste her years, and finally watch her dream shattered with your own eyes! How can you be embarrassed? She was punished by your foolish insect master for me, and was placed under house arrest in Huashan for life, but you ignored it, just stayed in the palace by yourself, and had fun with Concubine Yun, leaving her on the lonely cliff every day, and enduring the pain of getting along with her sweetheart and rival day and night. You enjoy her efforts with peace of mind, but you never know how to reciprocate. Even I think her punishment is too heavy, I can't see it, I always want to save her, but you are indifferent! Without Xue'er's troubles, you can be unimpeded with Concubine Yun, but I'm afraid that you still feel that you have unloaded a burden, right? A scumbag like you is not worthy of Xue'er liking you at all! Even if she doesn't have this affection for you, even if it is only you who is punished as an ordinary junior sister, you shouldn't be so insensitive. You seized the position of the leader of the alliance for Concubine Yun, and then abandoned all the heroes who trusted you, insisted on surrendering to the Qing, and turned a blind eye to the Manchu and Han blood feuds, which was also for her. You are really unfaithful, unjust, selfish and despicable to the extreme!Li Yijie, are you still not a man?" he said this, and his fingers almost poked the tip of Li Yijie's nose.

Li Yijie heard a few sneers from the teams on both sides, thinking that he was ordered to recruit An, he should have been majestic, but now he was scolded by a bandit leader pointing his nose, and he said everything reasonably, but it was not easy to refute, and he really wanted to force him to the limit of tolerance. Maintaining the last bit of sanity, he said with a straight face: "Master Lu Zhai, I still call you Lord Lu Zhai! Please respect yourself, you have a bad idea for my junior sister, it's not something that is enough to give you a long face." Are you not afraid of losing your value when you say these things? Whether I am a man or not is not up to you. The junior sister did violate the rules of the door and received some punishments, which was a matter of course, and she did not need the active help of the master of Lu Zhai, and acted bravely! Today I came for peace, I don't want to quarrel with you, I have endured it again and again, please don't deceive people too much, otherwise it will ......"

Lu Qian sneered: "Otherwise, what else?" Li Dashuai, don't talk too much, lest it be difficult to step down later, do you really think that we are afraid that you will not succeed?" raised his hands, struck each other three times with his palms, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone gather!" The mountains and fields responded in unison: "Yes!" The cry was deafening. Tens of thousands of minions in Qingtianzhai answered in unison, neatly like one person, without half a point of noise, and the loudness is beyond the reach of any master of internal strength alone. Li Yijie watched them gather from all sides, forming a huge phalanx in the square, standing by proudly, and his heart was first pang.

Lu Qian sneered: "This Li Dashuai in the palace looks down on us! Brothers, you will come and give him a drill, so that he can see the strength of Qingtianzhai." Be careful with me, don't let the distinguished guests from the capital look down!"

The bandits agreed in unison, holding spears and lining up in a column, gathering in the center. The pace was regular, and the ground was loud and loud, and it didn't take much effort to classify a loose phalanx into a boxy formation. The bandits in Qingtianzhai are dressed according to their ranks, and the colors of their clothes are different, and the boundaries of green, yellow, and purple are particularly distinct. Walking around the square for half a circle, the spear was raised, the change of technique was stabbed, and another person met it with a sword, and each movement was slowed down, so that outsiders could see clearly, and at the same time their mouths could not stop shouting.

After a few more moves, the green team turned the barrel of the gun, pulled out a few spear sparks, and then stopped and walked to the front, and the back team also showed off the sword and other weapons, and followed up one by one. After the bandits returned to their positions, Qi put the tip of his gun on the ground and let out a shout, which resounded through the valley.

Lu Qian opened his mouth and said: "Li Dashuai, can you barely see the superficial tricks of a few unsuccessful brothers in my Qingtianzhai?" Li Yijie was already dumbfounded, and the bandits were in a solemn formation, and it was difficult to compare even the authentic Eight Banners Army of the royal family. Hearing Lu Qian's question, he came back to his senses and applauded: "Qingtianzhai can dominate the martial arts, and it is really in vain!"

Lu Qian smiled: "In this way, whether it is the quantity or quality of the generals, I am far superior to you." What does Li Dashuai say now?" Li Yijie calmed down, called a small soldier, and said, "Bring things up." Lu Qian frowned and sneered: "Seeing my lineup, Li Dashuai doesn't seem to be panicked at all, what's the matter, what good things did you bring to show me?

Li Yijie smiled lightly and didn't answer, and it didn't take long to see several soldiers at the end of the day carrying a burden, each carrying a wooden lacquer-colored clay pot. Li Yijie took out a jar and said, "Lord Luzhai, this is the Gujing tribute wine that the Holy Lord specially ordered me to bring." In all dynasties, there have been many times that people have offered it to the emperor to enjoy. If you are willing to drink wine with me, and then surrender and descend the mountain, you can ignore your previous disobedience, and you will still be a good friend of the Qing Dynasty. This bowl of wine is to be done first as a respect. As he spoke, he slapped open the mud seal of the wine jar, ordered the soldier to take a large bowl, filled it with wine, raised his hands flat, and drank it all.

The one-armed young man from before took a sip and sneered: "See your ghost! You want to demolish Qingtianzhai with a few jars of wine? You also underestimate us too much! Think our brothers have never seen wine?" With a flick of his wrist, he threw out a few iron chains and snapped a few times, breaking a big hole in each wine jar, and the wine flowed all over the ground.

Li Yijie's face changed color, and Lu Qian said: "Li Dashuai, you should be able to see that even if you don't agree to the king's request, we can still attack Huashan and rescue Xue'er, but at that time, you will no longer be qualified to negotiate conditions with me." Think about it, do you think it's better to let Xue'er follow me than if she had been wronged in Huashan for a lifetime?"

Li Yijie was furious and said: "The emperor knew that your group of thieves had eaten the scales and refused to surrender, so if you don't surrender, you will be exterminated on the spot." If you want to fight, you will fight, but we are not afraid!" Ji Du and the others listened to Lu Qian's sneering one after another, insulting the dignity of the Qing court, and had already intended to start a war. Lu Qian took out a golden long whip from his waist and made a move in front of him, but when he heard the buzzing sound, the air circulation was suddenly urgent, and the afterglow could not be removed, as if he had plated his body with a layer of dazzling sparks, and shouted: "Form a formation to meet the enemy!"
