Chapter 179: The Crown Prince's Throne
Huangfu Jixun put away his smirk and looked at Zong Xin with a gloomy face. This monk is too arrogant, no one dares to talk to him like this. As long as he waved his hand, the entire Huainan 50,000 horses would be killed, and when the time came, what would he do if he was a monk? Even if these masters were present, no matter how high his martial arts were, it would be impossible to compete with 50,000 horses.
Huangfu Jixun can be said to be the son of heaven in Huainan, and he is the same. I didn't expect that someone would dare to talk to me like this, and I was so angry that I really wanted to rush up and hack this monk to death.
"Master Zongxin...... Xiaguan respects you, you are a contemporary enlightened monk......"
Zongxin suddenly pulled out Yi Han and slashed directly at the top of his head, and Huangfu Jixun immediately drew his sword to resist. Although Zongxin's knife is strong, but the two knives touched Huangfu Jixun and didn't feel a trace of strength, because of inertia, Huangfu Jixun's knife was still going up, but Zongxin's knife had already reached Huangfu Jixun's neck, as long as he went deeper than an inch, Huangfu Jixun died on the spot.
What a delicate knife momentum, looking at such a powerful knife suddenly turned, the original top couldn't be returned at once.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, only to see that Zongxin's blade was on Huangfu Jixun's neck, and he almost stabbed into it. But Huangfu Jixun's left hand held the blade tightly, and blood flowed out of Huangfu Jixun's left hand, and it was all with all his strength to react and grab the blade at the last moment, but because the situation was urgent, he didn't care too much, even if his hand was cut off, he had to catch this knife, otherwise it would be a dead end.
A drop of blood dripped from Huangfu Jixun's hand, instantly condensed into ice, and fell to the ground when it fell to a powder. Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Jixun's entire left hand began to form hoarfrost, and if the stalemate continued, the whole hand and even the whole person would be frozen into ice.
Huangfu Jixun kicked the ground with both feet, dodging Zongxin's attack range, and then immediately resisted the cold air of his left hand. At this time, everyone pressed their hands on their weapons, ready to strike at any time.
The most embarrassing is the third prince Li Congjia, one is a general of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is a contemporary monk. Although I have always wanted to kill him, this situation is absolutely not okay, and I must hit him with one hit, otherwise I will only leave a disaster.
Who should I help at this time? It is better to persuade to fight. But it's hard to persuade anyone, Huangfu Jixun won't listen to himself at all, let alone Zongxin, he is a madman.
"With a knife just now, the poor monk has shown mercy. I just want to tell you that if the poor monk wants to kill you, even if he hides in the army, the poor monk can easily take your head, so don't be too arrogant. ”
Huangfu Jixun's face was flushed with anger, no one dared to speak to him like this, and even dared to draw a knife to face him. But the knife just now is really exquisite, the knife technique used by this monk has never been seen before, and the depth of the skill is simply incredible, it is clear that a boy who is less than 20 years old can completely freeze his entire left hand in an instant.
Zong Xin's words just now are not unreasonable, if there is a wolf as a foot force, even if he hides in the army, he may not be able to withstand his three swords. What's more, he can't hide in the army forever, if he is alone, it will be really easy for him to kill himself. Such a powerful monk, no wonder he is said to be a contemporary monk, this kind of thing is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
In fact, it was Zongxin's full strength just now, his skill was far inferior to Huangfu Jixun, and the reason why he was able to freeze Huangfu Jixun's left hand was completely by Yi Han's ability. If there is a real fight, Zongxin is by no means the opponent of Huangfu Jixun. Just guard against Zongxin's knife.
Huangfu Jixun gritted his teeth and said: "Master, the official is just a routine, why bother to be so heavy-handed?"
"Routine? The poor monk doesn't care, but you don't interrogate the poor monk like a prisoner. Zong Xin said: "Poor monks are monks who do not want to take care of worldly affairs. Don't worry about me, if you don't like the poor monk, you can order all the soldiers and horses to rush into the restaurant to take the head of the poor monk. If not, get out of the way. ”
"Okay, okay, okay, you wait for me. Huangfu Jixun gritted his teeth and turned around, and then left the restaurant.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were still nervous. Although this time he avoided a big battle, what if Huangfu Jixun really brought someone to the restaurant? I'm afraid that I won't be at ease when I sleep tonight.
Zong Xin chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Huangfu Jixun is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he will never dare to bring troops here." The reason is very simple, we have the eldest lady of Dugu Valve here, and the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how bold Huangfu Jixun is, he doesn't dare to offend these two people, so I dare to be so arrogant. ”
"Husband, it's not good to do this. As soon as he arrived in Huainan, he deliberately offended Huangfu Jixun, he was not a good thing. "How could Dugu Xingyue not know who Huangfu Jixun was, with 50,000 soldiers and horses, it could be said that he was powerful. Whoever offends him will end badly. This kind of thing is by no means the first time, someone once offended Huangfu Jixun, and was even wiped out, everyone knew that Huangfu Jixun did it, but there was no tone.
Huangfu Jixun has a wave of men and horses under his command, all of which are used to assassinate and seize intelligence. Dressed in black, this group of people acted at night, not only stealthily, but also ruthlessly. Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were afraid of him, but they didn't want to offend him.
Huangfu Jixun had never suffered such humiliation, and he was so angry that he almost went on a killing spree, but he still endured it, left the restaurant and went straight to his camp.
Zong Xin shook his head and said: "A person like Huangfu Jixun, no one can cure him if he has been arrogant for too long. If you don't give him a little look, he will only be more arrogant. I did it on purpose just now, and doing so will make Huangfu Jixun afraid of me, and if he is not afraid of me, it will be more troublesome. ”
No one understands what Zong Xin is thinking in his head, he would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, this Huangfu Jixun knows that he is a villain at a glance, and he can bear it after being so angry. This person must have a deep scheming, and as a military general, he has excess temperament and ability.
If it were Guo Wei, he would slaughter Zong Xin on the spot, which is the temperament that a military general should have. But this Huangfu Jixun can endure it, although everyone admires it for being able to endure it, but he shouldn't bear it. In his own territory, he was bullied by a foreign monk like this, and as a general, he should directly lead troops to kill him.
Everyone was afraid of this, so they thought that Zongxin had done something wrong. But this Huangfu Jixun didn't do this, if he was a civil official, he might be excusable, but as a military general, he didn't even have a little temperament, he was not qualified to be a military general at all.
"What do you want to do?" Li Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "This is an official of the Tang Dynasty, not a disciple of your sect." He didn't come in because Dugu Xingyue and I were here, if it was just you and a group, I'm afraid there would have been no corpses left. ”
"Do you really think so?" Zong Xin said: "This Huangfu Jixun is a straw bag, holding the power of soldiers and horses, and the 50,000 soldiers in Huainan belong to him, and he is also a martial arts master, and he is bullied by my junior to such a point that he still dare not make a move." I don't dare to make a move this time, I don't think he will dare to make a move on me in his life. You don't understand that when a man is afraid of another person, even if I am unarmed and seriously injured, and he can kill me with a single hand, he still does not dare to do anything to me. I just want Huangfu Jixun to be afraid of me, so afraid that he doesn't dare to look at me squarely. ”
"Is it interesting to insult me for the incompetence of the officials of the Tang Dynasty? This king would like to ask this eminent monk, why are you doing this?" Li Yu did not understand Zongxin's behavior, as a high-ranking monk, he should not bully people like this.
Zong Xin said: "For you~ Aren't you going to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? A person can't sit steadily, not to mention that you are only the third prince now, and it is even more difficult to ascend to the throne." If you have the secret support of Huangfu Jixun, I believe it will reduce a lot of resistance. ”
When Zongxin said this, almost everyone thought that their ears were broken, and they heard hallucinations in broad daylight. Was it because the weather was too cold? After coming back to his senses, he immediately understood what Zongxin's intentions were.
Although Zongxin said that Li Yu could be the king of Tang, how could he be the king of Tang? There were also two elder brothers, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty both supported the eldest prince and the second prince, so what qualifications did Li Yu have to compete with them? If Li Yu wanted to be the king of Tang, he must first gather his own forces, otherwise even if Li Jing passed the throne to Li Yu, he might not be able to sit firmly.
Li Yu also reacted, although Zong Xin once said that he could be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but without his help...... I'm afraid this is just an empty phrase. Could it be that Zongxin really has the heart to help him seize the crown prince?
Li Yu shook his head suddenly, it was impossible, absolutely impossible. He and Zong Xin can be said to have met in Pingshui, and even have some enmity with him, but Zong Xin's attitude towards himself has always been very strange, why he would help him innocently, there must be a reason.
At this time, Li Yu fell into deep thought, what to do. Is it to find a way to kill Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin, and be this useless prince for the rest of his life, or to leave Zong Xin's life first, and let him help him seize the throne before making plans.
First of all, it is not easy to kill Zongxin. Even if he arrived in Jinling, Zong Xin was still protected by the Dugu Valve, not to mention that it was not easy to kill him alone. If Zong Xin had no intention of fighting and fled on a wolf, I am afraid that all the troops of the Tang Dynasty would not be able to catch up with him. The speed of the wolf is far faster than that of a horse, which Li Yu has also seen.
Zongxin wanted to escape, but no one could stop him. Therefore, it is not easy to kill him, unless he can get more Red Emperor True Yuan, it is impossible to win against this monk.
Since there is no way to kill him now, it would be good to let him help him obtain the crown prince first.
Li Yu thought for a long time and said, "Master Zongxin, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on one emperor's successor." ”
"The third prince, the world is like chess. In this game, you are playing against your two brothers, who have a car, a cannon, a horse and an elephant, and you have nothing on the chessboard, not even a pawn. The poor monk prepares a chess piece for you, and the name of this chess piece is 'Sinking Rook'. As long as you make good use of this chess piece, you may be able to turn defeat into victory. ”
Zongxin's metaphor is very appropriate, Li Yu is too late to start gathering forces now, so it is best to start with Huangfu Jixun. Huangfu Jixun is a son of a 'sinking car'. Although Huangfu Jixun is bold and afraid of things, if it is really scary to the extreme, it will go out.
This person has the power of soldiers and horses, and he may counterattack Jinling at any time. When the situation is out of control, the forces in the hands of Huangfu Jixun are very useful.
Both the eldest prince and the second prince think that Huangfu Jixun is their person, and they will definitely be negligent in this regard. They would never have thought that Huangfu Jixun would suddenly lead troops to counterattack. If the army suppresses Jinling, who becomes the emperor will not be decided by them, but by those who have military power in their hands.
