Chapter 23 (3)
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "Xuanshuang is so outstanding at a young age, he is really a dragon and a phoenix among people." When he grows up, he must be a pillar, which is taught well by the emperor and Concubine Yun. Shen Shiyun sneered: "Among them, the credit of your Li Qing family is indispensable, don't you take the opportunity to ask for a reward?" Li Yijie said: "The last general will not dare." Xuanshuang snorted, glanced at him obliquely, and sat back in his chair.
Shunzhi said: "Okay, General Li, I now appoint you as the commander, lead the kings and generals, the eight banners of the Red Banner Army, prepare all the treasures and delicacies, and go to Taihang Mountain." Qingtianzhai is willing to accept the best recruitment, if you insist on resisting, you will be exterminated on the spot, and then there will be no forgiveness! General Li, do you hear clearly?" Li Yijie put his hands against each other, slowly raised them to his chest, and replied word by word: "The last general, the command!" Shen Shiyun said: "Very good, you can go now, we are waiting for the good news." ”
Li Yijie walked out of the Qianqing Palace with sorrow and hurried with the generals. The high-ranking man despised him, thinking that he had never had experience in leading troops to fight, but now he took advantage of the relationship of Concubine Yun to become the commander, and he and others fought on the horse for half his life, all of which were feats fought with blood, and now he had to be sent by him, how could he obey. Although he was too lazy to make things difficult, he ignored him, and even had some selfishness to see him ugly.
The lower-level non-commissioned officers fight, pay attention to a soldier who is familiar with each other, and the new commander has never been on good terms, and he also regards Li Yijie's orders as a deaf ear, and the team is crooked, how can I see the majestic posture of the grandfather when he first created the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Along the way, Li Yijie was ostracized and treated as nothing by everyone, but he also had to bear the heavy blow of Shen Shiyun becoming selfish and cold. While thinking about how Yun'er could be like this, can hatred really swallow people's hearts completely?
Taihang Mountain is located near the left side of the capital, and it has arrived in less than a day. Li Yijie stood at the foot of the mountain, looked up, and saw that the mountain was composed of a variety of rock structures, the mountains were continuous, there were obvious faults on the east side, and many sections formed thousand-foot cliffs, and the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As the leader of the martial arts alliance, he just moved his mouth on the spot, giving orders, and never really led the troops to fight, so he couldn't help but be a little afraid in his heart.
Jidu saw through his thoughts and sneered contemptuously. This aroused Li Yijie's arrogance, and said: "King Jianjun, this mountain road is not long, I estimate that we will walk for another half a day, and it will be time to reach the peak." What do you say you should do then?"
Ji Du sneered: "What else can I do? If you refuse to surrender, you will defeat him, Li Dashuai is afraid?" E Shuo said in a strange voice: "I have heard that Li Dashuai and Lu Da of Qingtianzhai are old acquaintances, don't you care about friendship and can't make up your mind to do anything to him?" Li Yijie said with a straight face: "Lu Qian and I have long lost our kindness to each other, and we will never show affection for the bandit leader for the sake of friendship in the past, you can be relieved." Jidu said: "It turns out that Li Dashuai is such a gentleman who turns his face and doesn't recognize people?"
Li Yijie deliberately ignored it and said: "I am ready to face the battle, so I seriously ask the generals for tactics." Give me a few practical suggestions, isn't it more useful than cynicism?" Ji Du said: "What else are you discussing? Li Dashuai, we are all people who have been born and died countless times on the battlefield, unlike you, 'there are people in the court who are easy to do'. As for the strategy of defending against the enemy, we are a living soldier's book, full of tactics, and can be called up and used at any time when necessary. Anyway, someone will pave the way for you, just wait to pick up the ready-made, no need to fake feelings and pretend to be mindful. ”
Li Yijie forcibly suppressed his anger and argued: "But Qingtianzhai is by no means idle...... The generals have ignored him and bypassed the mountain on their own, leaving him alone to stand in place.
Li Yijie's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Repeatedly shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "Everyone in the palace looks down on me, I must take this opportunity to level Qingtianzhai and make some achievements for them." I will negotiate with Lord Lu Dazhai later, as long as his request is not too excessive, I will try to agree to him. In contrast, the emperor wants me to persuade them to surrender rather than fight, and if he can respond to his wishes, Yun'er will also be happy. ”
The idea must be clear, my heart is much more comfortable, I look up and see that the team has gone far, breathe a sigh of relief, and hurry up. It didn't take a few steps to catch up with Jidu, who was at the forefront. E Shuo smiled: "Li Dashuai, you run fast enough!"
Li Yijie thought that he had run this long road, but he was out of breath, and it seemed that he had not pulled down the light work. Thinking that he showed his hand, the generals were finally convinced, smiled, and just wanted to be modest for a few words, Ji Du sneered beside him: "Don't run away too much when facing the enemy, and practice a stunt of oiling the soles of your feet, right?" Li Yijie was so angry that he rolled his eyes a few times, unable to fight anymore, only holding a fire in his heart.
Along the way, Li Yijie swallowed his anger and finally got along. At noon, everyone finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and they were already sweating. Li Yijie looked around and saw a large square at the peak, with a towering long flagpole on each side, hanging a handsome flag, waving in the wind, and hunting and hunting. Build a splendid palace in front of you, hang a black wood gold lacquer signboard engraved with "Qingtian Village", the pavilion is towering, and the scale is not low Forbidden Palace.
On the opposite side of the flagpole, two teams of men and horses stood guard in a row of people, standing upright, holding spears in their hands, and looking straight ahead. I didn't see anyone scratch an itch once, wiped a handful of sweat, and generally speaking, there was not a single superfluous action, which showed that he was usually well-trained and his momentum was daunting. Li Yijie said in his heart: "No wonder Qingtianzhai is the No. 1 gang in today's martial arts, and it really has its own uniqueness. He turned his head sideways and said, "King Jianjun, please come forward and shout, and ask Lord Lu Dazhai to come out and talk in detail." ”
Ji Du sneered: "Who are you sending? Li Dashuai, don't forget that you are the commander, we all listen to your orders." It's up to you to decide how you negotiate. ”
Li Yijie said in his heart: "Along the way, have you ever heard my order? Now that you see that things are tricky, you remember to have me as the coach." This sentence turned a few times in my heart, jumped to my mouth several times, and finally swallowed it back into my stomach and stepped forward alone. Before he could take a few steps, the two minions standing side by side immediately swung their spears, put them around his neck, and shouted, "Stop! What are you doing?
Li Yijie took out a red post from his arms, presented it with both hands, and replied respectfully: "Please pay homage to the lord of Shanglu Dazhai, just say that my martial arts alliance leader Li Yijie asked to see him by the holy decree of today, and asked him to come as soon as possible, and there is something important to discuss." The minion glanced at the post and shook it off angrily: "Wait!" and turned to the main hall to report. As soon as he left, the latter immediately held a gun on the top. Li Yijie put up his hands and looked at the hall indifferently, unimpressed by the two spears hanging in front of his neck.
Jaw Shuo said: "Li Dashuai, are you quite particular about etiquette to this Lu Dazhai master?" Li Yijie said with a straight face: "Although Qingtianzhai is an enemy, I am here on order now, and the necessary etiquette is always indispensable, don't let the bandits say that the imperial court does not understand the rules." Ji Du said sharply: "You want to sell it to the bandits, it's not a problem, but if you lose the prestige of the Holy Son of Heaven in the slightest, I won't be the first to spare you!" Li Yijie smiled faintly and bitterly, thinking that the two of them were different and did not conspire with each other, so why bother to talk and just ignore and not answer.
After waiting for a few hours, there was still no response in the main hall. Ji Du said angrily: "This bandit leader is such a big shelf! He actually hung us here, and he had the intention to entertain the master! When he returned to the court, look at me and don't twist off his head...... Li Yijie said: "King Jianjun, the two armies will not behead the generals when they fight, and they must not abuse the prisoners." Only by making a guarantee can the bandits be relieved. ”
Ji Du sneered: "Why does Li Dashuai's elbow always turn outward? I don't want to take Lu Da seriously, but it's just a complaint, this can't be?" Li Yijie said: "The war turns from prosperity to decline, often out of an unintentional remark. The lord of Lu Dazhai has a narrow personality, and when he hears it, he will be angry again, and he will live up to the good intentions of the saint to sue for peace, and ask King Jian Jun to keep the pass. ”
After another pillar of incense, Lu Qian, the master of Dazhai, was surrounded by more than a dozen minions and walked out of the hall with his head held high. He was a thin young man in his twenties, but from the looks of his face, he was much more mature than his real age. He was dressed in a maroon mopping robe and wore a red sash around his waist, made of the finest brocade and invulnerable. The top of his arms was surrounded by a circle of silver plates shaped like armor, and his upper body was wrapped in a red copper gown. There was a faint flash of light in his eyes, which was extremely sharp, as if he could go straight to the bottom of the hearts of others, and he was a smart person at first glance.
This underworld figure who has made the world frightened, his behavior is really enough, and along the way, all the minions have knelt down and bowed, saying: "See Lord Lu Dazhai!"
Lu Qian shook his hand casually and said lazily: "No courtesy, no courtesy." The tone is full, like the emperor receiving his subordinates. In front of Li Yijie, he grinned slightly, smiled politely, arched his hand and said: "I don't know what kind of good wind is blowing today, but I can work to work in the imperial court to play in my Taihang Mountain. After all the years, Brother Li is still so handsome and radiant, which is gratifying!" He pinched his throat and spoke, although his tone was kind, it always made people feel uncomfortable.
Li Yijie returned the salute and said, "Lord Lu Zhai has won the award, and so are you." I once heard that Brother Lu suffered a catastrophe and fell into the abyss, and the younger brother often regretted it. Later, I learned that you were a blessing in disguise, not only fortunately did not die, but also became the leader of Qingtianzhai, congratulations. Seeing that Brother Lu looks good, do you want to be safe all these years?"
Lu Qian said coldly: "Thank you Brother Li for your concern, everything is fine! Back then, the king was lucky to find a way to live when he was about to die. After several struggles, I was able to regain a firm foothold, and this is a good sign for Jitailai! After six years of repeated consideration, I finally came to the realization of a truth: If it weren't for the upright people who pushed me into a desperate situation, how could I have the opportunity to join Qingtianzhai and then have the hegemony I have now? I am afraid that until now, I am only an inconspicuous little disciple of the Kunlun faction. This king is destined to do great things, the emperor is three feet old, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to take care of, how can he die easily?"
When Li Yijie and Nangong Xuechu met Lu Qian, he was still under the Kunlun Sect, and his rank was low. The three of them tracked down the Shadow Sacrifice Sect together, and accidentally obtained a martial arts secret book on the way. Lu Qian's character is inferior, he is familiar with martial arts, and when he sees the extremely exquisite magic skills contained in the secret book, he secretly has the intention of swallowing it alone. When he was leaving on the battlefield, he got into the wine glasses of Li Yijie and the others*, and hurriedly stole the book and fled, but unexpectedly stole a fake secret book. That night, Nangong Xue finally saw his true face and despised him as a person.
In order to get rid of the Shadow Worship Sect, the heroes of the rivers and lakes planned to hold a hero conference in the Sword Forest after more than a month, and elected the winner as the leader, Lu Qian appeared again, succeeded as the head of Kunlun, pretending to be sanctimonious, and competing for the position of the leader of the alliance. Li Yijie got the guidance of his master Meng Anying with authentic secrets, and made great progress in martial arts, and defeated Lu Qian on the stage.
And Lu Qian inexplicably became the first, but it was just a trap set by the head of the Kongtong faction, killing He Zhengxian, the old head of Kunlun, in order to support Lu Qian as the leader of the alliance, and he had a handle in his hand to make it easy to contain at any time. Unexpectedly, Lu Qian disappointed him and was defeated, in order to prevent the conspiracy from being exposed, he co-opted Liang Yue, a disciple of the Cang faction, and planned a poisonous plan, which finally made Lu Qian's reputation ruined, and he was chased by the heroes at the top of Kunlun, and finally fell down the mountain stream, and his life and death were unknown. When he reappeared a few months later, he had already transformed himself into the owner of Qingtianzhai.
