Chapter 772: Assassination
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
With Zhao Jing ascending the throne and becoming emperor, the three holy decrees of the first emperor's edict, abdication edict, and edict spread all over the capital and the world, some people were shocked, some people were surprised, and some people were angry.
Because it was just a palace change, coupled with Zhao Jing's sparing no effort to issue holy decrees to appease officials from all sides, and the general army of all places, the Great Song Dynasty was in a fairly stable situation as a whole, no one wanted to rebel, and no one jumped out against Zhao Jing as emperor.
Only those princes in the capital are qualified to reach Zhao Jing, but with Zhao Jing sitting in the palace and mastering the forbidden army, those princes have long been under house arrest.
Just wait for Li Xiuyuan to transfer Han Shizhong's 20,000 iron horses into Beijing, and everything can be stabilized.
However, this is just the right to take over, out of the capital, the people of the world are still withered, corrupt officials are still rampant, but there are many fewer ghosts and spirits than before, a lot, and I will never hear a village haunted by demons, haunted and killed dozens of people, hundreds of people such a very serious thing
, I can't hear anything about the White Lotus Sect, the Maitreya Sect recruits believers.
If Zhao Jingdengji is willing to govern benevolently and control corruption, the Great Song Kingdom will still have a chance to prosper, if it is just another Zhao official family, the national fortunes of the Great Song Kingdom will soon be exhausted.
A change of dynasty is not far off.
All this has nothing to do with Li Xiuyuan, there is no long-lasting dynasty, and the rise and fall of a dynasty is originally a law.
As soon as the ten-day deadline arrived, Li Xiuyuan lit the soldiers and horses, took everyone with him, and even the coffins of the soldiers who died in the battle were transported out of the capital in turn.
"Sha Jin, are you going to Yangzhou with me, or will you stay in the capital and continue to be your dart leader?" In the dart game, Li Xiuyuan looked at everyone and asked suddenly.
Sha Jin said: "If the eldest young master doesn't dislike it, the little one is willing to go to Yangzhou with the eldest young master." ”
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Okay, then let's go with me today, the dart game will be handed over to other trustworthy people to take care of, and the dart game in the capital still can't be abandoned." ”
"Yes, big young master, the small one will be arranged. ”
Sha Jin's face was happy, he stayed in the capital just a dart, how could he mix up a martial arts position when he went to Yangzhou.
After some preparations, Li Xiuyuan and the others quickly left the capital.
With his decree and appointment, he prepared to go to Yangzhou to take office.
If the plan is normal, Li Xiuyuan will govern Yangzhou for several decades until he resigns and returns to his hometown for retirement....... Of course, if you have free time, you have to find time to solve a few other things.
Just when he walked out of the gate of the capital, he suddenly saw a sloppy old man on the side of the road.
The old man was clothed open, his chest exposed, and he was lying asleep on the roof of a house.
It seemed that the passing of Li Xiuyuan and others disturbed him, so that he couldn't help but open his eyes, and woke up slowly, he glanced at Li Xiuyuan and smiled: "Is the saint leaving?
He seemed to only say this to Li Xiuyuan, and others did not hear it.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at this old Taoist and didn't know him, but just bowed his hand: "Don't dare to bother the Taoist." ”
Lao Dao scratched his neck and smiled: "Poor Dao sees that your road to the south this time will not be peaceful, it is better to be careful, if someone on the road calls your name, you must not turn back, you may be able to escape." ”
"Huh?"
Li Xiuyuan had doubts in his heart, would he encounter any danger on the road?
However, this old way is that cultivators, and they should not be able to calculate anything about themselves if they know how to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
"Can the Daoist explain?" asked Li Xiuyuan.
The old man shook his head, just smiled and waved his hand to watch him leave.
At this moment, the war horse walked by, but Li Xiuyuan gradually drifted away from this old way, and finally saw him fall backwards and continue to sleep soundly in the sun on the roof.
Since he had gone away, seeing that he had no intention of telling him, Li Xiuyuan did not ask more.
Subsequently, Li Xiuyuan ordered: "Wu Xiang, you lead the troops in front, Sha Jin, you lead the team behind, pay attention to safety on the road, and release a scout every two miles, we only have less than 2,000 men and horses, Lu Shan needs to be careful." ”
Wu Xiang and Sha Jin received the order and immediately escorted them one after the other.
Li Xiuyuan walked in the middle of the army with the wounded soldiers and a team of personal soldiers to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Childe, Han Shizhong's 20,000 cavalry is already on the way here, and it only takes less than half a day's work to meet on the road, are you still afraid that you will encounter some bandits, robbers, and robbers? On the side, Sanjie Hu rode a jujube red horse, following her
lost a wink and laughed coquettishly.
"Listen to people's advice in everything, there is an old saying that there is a disaster on my way, I think it is better to be careful. Li Xiu said from afar.
"Really?" Third Sister Hu's eyes rolled: "That old way must be a mouthful, who can count your calamity." ”
"But I can't see through the details of that old way. Li Xiuyuan said: "That old Taoist seems to be a mortal but has a temperament and demeanor that mortals don't have, it looks like an immortal, but it is too deep into the red dust, and it already has the vulgarity of a mortal
Breath ......"
"Anyway, there won't be a lot of hours on the road, so I'll take a look around for you. ”
Hu Sanjie's beautiful eyes turned, but she left the team on horseback, walked to the side of the road and suddenly turned into a red fox and ran into the mountains and forests, and then a wave of demon luck rose, one shrouded the top of the team, and slowly floated forward with the team.
But it was she who was vigilant in heaven.
And at the same time.
In a small town near the official road.
Today, there is an old man in a white robe, spotless, fairy wind and bones in the town, this old man claims to be an immortal in the mountains, and he deliberately went out of the mountain today, just to ignite a friend to return to the heavenly palace and ascend to the fairyland.
Such anecdotes immediately attracted many people in the town.
"This immortal is a cultivator in the Tang Dynasty three hundred years ago, and it took a few days to become an immortal, I remember that three hundred years ago and this immortal practiced with a close friend of mine, but it is a pity that the best friend of this immortal coveted the wealth of the world, and went to the world to be an official, delayed the practice, and finally the practice was insufficient
Don't fall into reincarnation and suffer from reincarnation, today the immortal has become an immortal, so the friend who is here to turn the immortal into the reincarnation and one of them takes off to the immortal palace. ”
"The Immortal Investigator learned that my friend was reincarnated in this town, so I came here today to investigate. ”
Hearing this immortal wind bone, the old man who claimed to be an immortal in the mountains said this, and the people who watched the excitement suddenly became a little excited.
"Immortal, do you think I'm the reincarnation of that friend of yours?" asked a man in the crowd cheekily.
The mountain immortal shook his head and said, "You're not. ”
"What about me, am I?" asked a farmer.
"Unfortunately, neither are you. The immortal in the mountain said again.
Then there were several people who asked, but the immortals in the mountains all shook their heads and said no, and finally sighed: "It seems that my friend is going to miss the fairy fate again today, or not, this immortal has to fly to the fairy palace alone." ”
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave again.
But he didn't go far, but he suddenly sighed, grabbed the hand of a passing scholar, and said in surprise: "Friend, I've been looking for you for a while, it's really good, I didn't expect to meet you at a critical moment, don't ask more now, hurry up and follow me to the fairy palace, I will lead you to become an immortal."
Enlightenment. ”
This scholar's name is Gu Sheng, he was returning from grocery shopping with his wife at the moment, and when he saw this old man who claimed to be an immortal suddenly rushed over and said such a thing, he was immediately a little confused.
"The Taoist recognizes the wrong person, I don't know you. Gu Sheng said.
"You don't know it in this life, but in the previous life, you had a close relationship with me, we are each other's confidants, today I have practiced for three hundred years and finally become an immortal, and I am about to ascend to the fairy palace, happy and happy, friend, are you willing to go with me?" said the immortal in the mountain.
Gu Sheng hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, the late family has parents, and there are wives and children in the room, how can you abandon your parents and wives to practice with the Dao Chief, the Dao Master should please go back, the Dao Master of the Immortal Palace can go alone." ”
The immortal in the mountain sighed when he heard this: "Alas, back then, you were immortal in the heart of mortal dust, so you missed the opportunity to become an immortal, but I didn't expect you to be like this after reincarnation, no matter what, no matter what, then I won't force you, since you are going to separate today, I don't have anything to give you, this is me."
The dagger you carry with you can be regarded as a fairy treasure, so I'll give it to you for self-defense. ”
"In the future, if you encounter a ghost or a spirit, as long as you recite the spell, this dagger will fly out and assassinate it. ”
After saying that, the dagger in his hand immediately flashed a dazzling glow, and flew out like a long rainbow, actually piercing a hole in a big tree on the side of the road in front of him.
"Ahh It's really a treasure of the immortal family, Gu Shusheng, you are developed. ”
"Oh my God, such a big tree can cut through a hole, if it hits a person, where will there be life. ”
"It's an incredible treasure. ”
The pedestrians on the side of the road widened their eyes and exclaimed in amazement.
"This is the spell that summons this dagger. ”
The mountain immortal recited a spell at Gu Sheng, then took the dagger back and stuffed it into his hand, then let out a long sigh and left slowly.
Back at home, Gu Sheng looked at the shiny dagger on the table, and couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't expect that I knew an immortal in my previous life, if I hadn't had parents and wives, I might have gone with him when I was on the street." ”
His wife, Jiang Rong, looked at the dagger on the table, and recalled the words of the mountain immortal, but she couldn't help gritting her teeth and said, "Husband, there is one thing I didn't tell you, I didn't say it before because it was confidential at this time, and if it was spread out, it would lead to death, but today I can't help but want to tell you."
Finish. ”
"What is the matter?" Gu Sheng asked his wife.
Jiang Rong said: "I am not the husband of this county, you know, I used to use the excuse that I came here with my old mother to flee, but I am not, I was the daughter of a deputy chief soldier in Jinling City, because someone killed my father and copied my family property, I can't be angry, so I will go to avenge my father."
Assassinating the enemy's family, the result failed, and then fearing disaster and family fled here with the only remaining old mother, before I practiced martial arts, supporting the old mother, just to one day be able to take revenge. ”
"But my martial arts are not yet strong, and the enemy's power is getting stronger and stronger, I already feel that there is no hope of revenge, so I married my husband, gave birth to children for my husband, and served my in-laws
Father's revenge. ”
Saying wow, she bit her lip and knelt in front of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng was stunned, he didn't know how to answer.
"The child has been able to talk and walk, the mother also died of illness this year, I have taken care of the affairs of the family, I have no worries in my heart now, if I can successfully take revenge on the shame, and then come to reunite with my husband, if not, then I must be killed by the enemy, and please husband
You will marry another good wife and forget me. ”
Saying goodbye, Jiang Rong ran out of the house without waiting for Gu Sheng to agree and picked up the dagger given by the immortal, and then disappeared into the town with a vigorous pace, not looking like a weak woman at all.
Gu Sheng wanted to stop him, so he hurriedly chased him out, but it was already over.
Above the pipes at the moment.
Li Xiuyuan's army was safe and sound, and wherever he passed was bandits, and the robbers also fled, and within a few hours, he had already met with the scouts of the 20,000 iron horsemen brought by Han Shizhong.
"General, General Han's men and horses are five miles away. "Serve the fist hug.
"Are you here?"
Li Xiuyuan sat on the horse, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and indeed heard the roar of the war horse.
"Very good, everything is as expected in the plan, as long as these 20,000 iron horsemen are stationed in the forbidden army camp, the situation in the capital will be completely stabilized, and that Zhao Jing will not have to worry about being kicked off the dragon chair. ”
"Accelerate forward. ”
Not much.
Han Shizhong led 20,000 iron cavalry to appear in front of him, mighty, black and oppressive, with a forest of flags, murderous, such an iron cavalry built by Li Xiuyuan at a huge cost, not only well-equipped, but also fierce and daring to fight, is the first strong force in the Great Song Kingdom, unsurpassed.
In this way, a team of men and horses has the capital to fight in the face of an army of 200,000, and the chances of winning are relatively large.
"Young Master, we're here. At this time, Han Shizhong asked the army to stop, and he rushed straight with a team of men and horses to meet Li Xiuyuan and the others.
Li Xiuyuan saw Han Shizhong riding a horse and galloping, smiled, and was about to catch up, but at this time, a voice came from the official road.
"Are you Li Xiuyuan of Jinling City?"
"Huh?"
Li Xiuyuan rode by, and when he heard it, the voice was already behind, and he subconsciously looked back.
But he saw a woman with her hair coiled and plainly dressed next to the official road, looking at herself, and she should be a citizen passing by a nearby village or town.
But suddenly the woman took out a shiny dagger from her bosom, and began to mutter.
"Assassins?"
Li Xiuyuan reacted instantly, and at the same time, Third Sister Hu, who was paying attention to her in the sky, also immediately rolled up a gust of demonic wind and swept down, and the surrounding armor soldiers also instantly changed their faces and glared angrily.
"There are assassins, protect the generals. ”
"Damn it, this woman. ”
A loud shout rang out.
But then the dagger in the woman's hand turned into a ray of light and went straight to Li Xiuyuan.
"Flying sword?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes shrank, and he almost instinctively reached out to try to stop it.
With his martial arts, he could catch the arrows that had fallen from the three stones, but this dagger flew extremely fast, almost at the moment when his palm was not raised.
"Puff~!"
The dagger instantly sank into his chest, Li Xiuyuan's body trembled, and he immediately fell down while sitting on horseback.
"It worked. Jiang Rong was ecstatic when she saw this.
But then a demonic wind blew, directly rolled it up and threw it into the air, and then fell down heavily, and immediately fell in pain, vomiting blood on the spot.
"Demon woman, Lao Tzu killed you. "One of his soldiers, with his teeth cracked and his eyes full of grief and anger, rode up and slashed his sword, intending to take his head.
"Stop, stop, don't kill her. Li Xiuyuan's somewhat weak voice suddenly sounded.
The armorer was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously withdrew his long knife, slashed at the ground on the side, and drew a hideous opening.
Although he didn't kill, then the wolf-like armor soldiers nearby rushed in an instant, using both knives and guns, and instantly pressed Jiang Rong, who fell to the ground and vomited blood, to the ground.
"Childe. ”
Third Sister Hu immediately manifested, she ran over and hurriedly helped Li Xiuyuan, who had fallen to the ground, to sit up.
Li Xiuyuan's face was pale, coughing up blood in his mouth, and he looked at the dagger on his chest in disbelief, and blood kept gushing out.
Seeing this, Sanjie Hu immediately panicked, she stretched out her hand to cover the wound, but found that the wound couldn't be covered: "Son, quickly, quickly stop the bleeding, take a thousand years of He Shou Wu...... It's okay, childe, you'll be fine. ”
As she spoke, she kept bowing her head and weeping.
She is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, where does she not know what this situation means now, where does this dagger not stab, but stabs him in the chest, you must know that the last time he killed the ghost foreman, the armor on Li Xiuyuan's body was punched out of a hole by the ghost foreman, although it was repaired, but it was no longer a dragon scale,
There is no such thing as an impregnable defense.
But the dagger pierced right through the gap, and it seemed to have pierced the heart......
Li Xiuyuan smiled weakly, he grabbed the third sister's hand and said: "It's useless, He Shou Wujing has long been used up, the last time you gave the third sister, you took the last piece, and the rest are made for my father, cough cough, it seems that the time has come, my evil retribution is coming...... The old Taoist was right, me
It is true that there will be calamity on the road, and if you turn back, you will die. ”
"Nonsense, how can you die, you are a saint in the world. If you want to die, you should die of old age. Hu Sanjie said with tears in her eyes.
"Third sister, you know very well that the spell within my three zhang is invalid, but this flying sword just ignores the influence of my breath...... Ahem. Li Xiuyuan felt a pain in his chest, and the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he couldn't lift a slight.
Hu Sanjie was about to comfort her, but at this time, Han Shizhong, Sha Jin, Wu Xiang and others had already rushed over, they knelt on the ground, anxious and angry, looking at Li Xiuyuan and not knowing what to do.
"Young, big young master......" Han Shizhong's voice was trembling, and he couldn't help but cry when he looked at the dagger that pierced into his chest.
"Go, bring the woman who stabbed me. Li Xiuyuan leaned on the arms of the third sister of the fox, and said weakly.
Soon, Jiang Rong was disgraced, embarrassed, bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and was held down and carried over by three or five big men, and at the same time, two sharp knives were placed on her neck, as long as she moved, she could cut off her head.
"Who are you and why did you stab me?" Li Xiuyuan raised his eyelids and looked at her.
"The deputy chief soldier of Jinling Chengjiang is my father. ”
Jiang Rong hated and said: "You killed my father, stole my family property, so that I and my mother have no place to live, I can't wait to kill you every day to take revenge, today God has eyes, I finally did it, even death is worth it." ”
"Ahem, ahem. Li Xiuyuan coughed up a few more wisps of blood, and he said: "Avenging my father is indeed justified, it seems that someone asked me to rob you in your hands, you can go." I will not kill you today. ”
"What?" Jiang Rong's eyes widened.
She was ready to be executed, but she didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to let herself go.
"You let her go. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
"This demon woman assassinated the eldest young master, and she couldn't let it go, so she was tortured by the little suggestion, questioned the mastermind behind the scenes, and then executed Ling Chi. Han Shizhong gritted his teeth and said.
"There's no need for this, let her go, what's the matter, is it that my order doesn't work anymore when I'm injured?" Li Xiuyuan stared at him and said.
"The eldest young master......" Han Shizhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "It's about the life and death of the eldest young master." ”
"Han Meng, carry out the order. Li Xiu said from afar.
Han Shizhong had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout, "Respect the young master's order, let go, let this demon woman go." ”
Soon, Jiang Rong was let go, but the nearby armor soldiers were still eager to skin her and drink blood, staring at her with murderous intent one by one.
