In a piano pavilion next to the Qinhuai River.

As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, it was not yet a moment before the sound of the three general soldiers getting up and saying goodbye, and then they were very unhappy and rode out of the city with their own soldiers.

"Shi Niang, your piano sound is indeed a must, even Xiaomei is not as good as you. ”

Li Xiuyuan did not send the three general soldiers away in unison, but said to the shadow behind the curtain while drinking tea.

Shi Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Since Li Gongzi likes it, why don't you come to the Qin Pavilion for a long time? ”

"Everything is entangled, and you can't get away. Li Xiuyuan sighed and said.

"Also, Li Gongzi's identity is special, not only to face the things of ghosts and gods, but also to face the turmoil in the world, sometimes the slave family even thinks that this is not as good as being a ghost, being a ghost can at least be a little clean and comfortable, but being a man has to run around every day, for food and clothing, for

Fight for power, for the sake of the wind and snow, ......" Shi Niang sighed faintly.

She used to be a female ghost, and then she became a human being, so she naturally understands the difference between humans and ghosts.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Whether it's a person or a ghost, it's just all sentient beings, the mortal world is suffering, and it's not comfortable to be a ghost, the world is peaceful, even a ghost can enjoy purity, if you can't change the way of the world, in fact, being a person and a ghost are the same, is it that Shi Niang you live in Huaxian."

Isn't that good?"

Shi Niang replied: "Li Gongzi is a person with great ambitions, and the slave family is just an insignificant little woman, how can she have the ability to change the way of the world, that is something that the slave family can't think of." ”

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "No, Shi Niang, what you said is not right, it's not that you don't dare to think about it, but you can't see hope in this world, so you will sink like this." ”

"Whew, whew!"

At this time, the wind was howling outside, and there was a faint whispering of ghosts.

"Is Gongzi Li leaving?"

Shi Niang slowly walked out from behind the curtain, with a bit of resentment on her face.

The ghost whispered outside, this is the ghost under Li Xiuyuan's command.

Li Xiuyuan stood up and said, "Yes, I'm leaving, today's matter is far from over, I have to solve the troubles caused by these three general soldiers." ”

"Let's play another song for the male bomb. Shi Niang said.

"It's fine. Li Xiuyuan nodded.

At this moment, the three general soldiers, surrounded by their own soldiers, rode out of the city.

"My lord, Li Xiuyuan's men didn't chase after him. A scout Pegasus came over and immediately said.

"Huh~!"

Hearing this, the three commanders breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the reins, and slowed down their horses.

"This Li Xiuyuan is too blind to no one, relying on his nearly 10,000 cavalry to dominate Jinling City, he didn't take us in his eyes at all, just a guerrilla general, not only dare to commit crimes, but also dare to threaten us, this evil breath is difficult for me to swallow. ”

Mr. Qian was angry at this moment, clenching his fists and roaring with a somewhat hideous face.

"Lord Qian is true of what he said, this Li Xiuyuan will not be removed, where will we put the face of the general soldiers? Today, the two adults have also seen this Li Xiuyuan's arrogant attitude, if it is not for him, the official will never leave Jinling City. ”

"Since the two adults have such thoughts, why don't we join forces to eradicate this obstructive Li Xiuyuan?" said General Sun of Yangzhou, whose eyes flashed.

"How?"

Qian Zongbing said: "Isn't he going to extort our 3,000 men and horses, give it to him tomorrow, as soon as he enters the barracks, he will shoot him to death with random arrows, and then the court will say that Li Xiuyuan fell from his horse in the army and died, and he went to a guerrilla general with no identity background, and the court will not investigate if he is killed."

。 ”

"Alright, that's it, I'll muster a thousand crossbowmen tonight. Mr. Sun nodded.

"After killing him, all the plans will be as usual, and Li Xiuyuan's credit will be shared among the lords of the army. ”

The three general soldiers were discussing the plan to kill Li Xiuyuan tomorrow on the road.

The more they talked, the more excited they became, and the happier their hearts became, as if they could already see that Li Xiuyuan's head hanging under the handsomeness of the army tomorrow.

"Whew, whew!"

The cold wind of the night blew in and blew around non-stop, making the three commanders shiver.

"Damn, it's all that Li Xiuyuan, he has to leave us to listen to the music, it's late at night now, it's freezing cold, do you want to make us cold?" ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow. ”

Soon, the three general soldiers arrived outside the city and left, and rushed towards the military camp not far away.

Whew~!

The cold wind howled in the night, and it was also divided into three, chasing the three general soldiers respectively.

The cold wind followed, and neither the chief soldier nor his own soldiers noticed anything unusual.

At this moment, in the Qin Pavilion in Jinling City.

A dark wind blew and penetrated through the crack in the window, and the yin wind turned around on the ground, and suddenly a black male figure appeared.

"Childe. "That's a Yin soldier.

Li Xiuyuan listened to the sound of Shi Niang's piano beside him, and then said, "Say, are the three chief soldiers discussing how to deal with me?"

"Yes, Childe, as Childe expected, the three commanders want to trick Childe into the barracks tomorrow, ambush him with archers, and shoot Childe with random arrows. ”

The Yin soldiers said all the words that the three general soldiers had talked to before.

As soon as the piano stopped, Shi Niang looked at Li Xiuyuan with some surprise: "Li Gongzi, those three chief soldiers are so vicious, how dare they ...... Childe is a meritorious general who repelled the rebels. ”

Li Xiuyuan's expression was calm: "There is nothing that these dog officials don't dare, in order to protect their own interests, they want to kill all the people who oppose them all over the world, what do I count as a guerrilla general, the reason why I forced them to stay until night before letting them go, is just to facilitate the ghosts under their command."

God went out to spy on them. ”

"Even if the chief soldier and the official are in charge, they can't escape the surveillance of the ghosts and gods. ”

"Childe, now the three chief soldiers are not shrouded in official luck, only a puff of black smoke is shrouded, and the light of fortune has been completely obscured, even the little ghosts can get close to them, but they are afraid of the killing spirit in the army, and they dare not get too close. The Yin soldier said.

Li Xiuyuan laughed and said: "Black smoke covers the top, obscuring the light of fortune, and dispersing the talisman official luck, of course, they have a harmful heart, and evil thoughts together, it will be like black gas soaring into the air, even good people will be taken advantage of by ghosts, not to mention that these three general soldiers are originally powerful."

Dog official, Fude, there is not much official luck left. ”

"This is the opportunity they gave me, go, call the long-tongued ghost king, the red-eyed ghost king, and the long-bearded ghost king. After saying that, he waved his hand.

The Yin soldier answered, turned into a yin wind and roared away again, and soon flew out of the house and headed in a certain direction of Jinling City.

"Shi Niang, it seems that I can't listen to your song anymore, it's cold at night, Shi Niang should go to bed early. Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.

Shi Niang Yingying saluted and said: "How can the slave family disturb Li Gongzi's big affairs, and please Li Gongzi be careful about everything, if you have spare time, please also ask Li Gongzi to come to the Qin Pavilion to listen to the music, the slave family Qin has always been here." ”

Li Xiuyuan nodded in response, quickly pushed open the door, faced the cold wind in the night, and strode away.

He didn't go far, but came to a nearby temple.

Hall of the Ten Kings.

This is a temple dedicated to the ten halls of Yama, of course, the ten halls of Yama do not exist, this is a fake temple, and the ten ghost kings are enshrined inside.

Five of the ten idols of the Ghost King collapsed and cracked, and the offering table in front of them was smashed, leaving only five idols still alive.

It seems that no one has taken care of this temple anymore, not even a temple blessing.

"Let's borrow this place. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

Call~!

The yin wind whistled and fell outside the temple and turned into three ghost kings, namely the long beard, the long tongue and the red-eyed ghost king.

"The little ghost has seen Childe. As soon as the three ghost kings arrived, they all gave a salute with respectful expressions.

Li Xiuyuan glanced back at them and said, "I called you here this time to help me do something. ”

The three ghost kings glanced at each other and said, "Please also ask the prince to command." ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "You should have heard of the three chief soldiers who went out of the city, I want you to hook their souls, the way of the Yin soldiers and ghosts is limited, I'm afraid I can't hook the souls of these three general soldiers, so I have to ask you three ghost kings to take a trip, I don't know if you have the ability to do it."

This thing?"

"It's not difficult to do this, the little ghost has heard that the yin soldier said, the three chief soldiers have a harmful heart, and the evil thoughts turn into black smoke and cover the top of their heads, obscuring the light of official luck and good fortune, it is a trivial matter for the little ghost to take their souls, but the three chief soldiers are in the barracks and bring their souls out

Take a moment. "The long-bearded ghost king.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just do this before dawn, and after bringing their souls to interrogate their crimes, I will make them unconscious for at least ten days, do you understand what I mean?"

"The little ghost understands, please rest assured. The long-bearded ghost king replied.

"Go, I'm waiting for good news from you in the side hall. Li Xiuyuan said.

The three ghost kings immediately turned into a yin wind and roared away, heading straight for the military camp outside the city.

It's not a war now, the soldiers brought by the three general soldiers are all soldiers who have been out of battle for a long time, and they have very little blood and evil energy, and their ghost kings can break into the barracks.

Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands in his hands, watched them leave, and said secretly in his heart: "These three general soldiers are really a scourge, they want to get rid of me, why don't I want to get rid of them, tonight they conspired to kill me, then I don't need to be polite, first hook their souls and then go down,

Don't give them a chance to wait until tomorrow. ”

If the vicious and mediocre officials are not punished by the court, then let the ghosts and gods punish them.

This is where Li Xiuyuan's concept of co-governance of man and god lies.

If the court is corrupt, the gods will also fall, and only by restraining each other can they supervise each other and make fewer mistakes.

However, God's power is too great, so Li Xiuyuan has to weaken God's power, otherwise the way of checks and balances between the two will not work.
