Chapter 120: Reflection
There was an earth-shattering bang, deafening, and everyone present moved in unison.
The Han general only felt a huge force coming from the blade and rushing into his arm, and the sudden huge force made him at a loss, his arms were numb, and the offensive could no longer continue. Leaned back, raised the broadsword high, and then came out of his hand.
But it was Zhang Xuanqing who found out that the black rumbling thing happened to be aimed at the blade, and after a loud noise, the blade of the big knife actually popped out of a gap, and I don't know how to cause it.
"Stinky Daoist, what kind of demon magic are you making?" The big Han general was shocked and frightened, the big knife fell to the side, his hands were empty, and he was stunned on the spot.
Zhang Xuanqing shook his hand that was also numb, the shot just now was also crooked, he was originally aimed at Dahan himself. Unexpectedly, the lightning and flint were just right on the blade, so that he could barely hold the gun now.
Facing the big man's question, he reluctantly smiled and stood up: "The general said that he laughed, this is not a demon law, but my Taoist Five Thunder Correct Law." "Even at this time, I didn't forget to brag.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout: "Take them down for me!" But it was the new general who rushed towards the two again with his soldiers.
The Han general caught a glimpse of it, his fists clenched, but soon, he looked decadent again, obviously hit by Zhang Xuanqing a lot, and didn't want to resist anymore. Zhang Xuanqing didn't want to be caught, his eyes flashed, his body was short, and he quickly drilled into the tall building next to him.
With his current physical condition, when the other party has a bow and arrow, and then performing high and high light skills, it is tantamount to looking for death. So, if he wants to get out, he can only use the terrain.
After entering the high-rise building, Zhang Xuanqing did not pause and ran straight to the rear. Then, through the back door, he broke out.
Behind the high-rise building is a narrow alley, and at the other end of the alley are private houses. At this time, Zhang Xuanqing performed light skills again, but because of the inconvenience of his legs, like a grasshopper, he climbed and jumped, climbed over the courtyard walls, and stayed away from the place of right and wrong.
After passing through several alleys in a row, it was estimated that the officers and soldiers behind him would not chase after him in a short time. He had time to perform the method of sealing the acupoint, sealing the wound with true qi so that the wound would no longer bleed. But he didn't dare to stay long, and when he had done all this, he sneaked out of the city.
When they arrived at Xianyunguan, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were not there, and when they asked, they realized that they had gone to the city to find themselves. Zhang Xuanqing calculated for a moment and calculated that even if the two of them were in danger, they had already passed it safely, so they did not turn back to the city to find medicinal materials and deal with their injuries.
He was cut with an arrow in the arm, but it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and even if he didn't deal with it, with his physical recovery, he could be healed in a few days. However, he himself knows medical skills, how can he not bandage one or two.
It's just that after bandaging, he remembered the killing intent in his heart when he just took out his gun and shot the Han general, and couldn't help but be in a daze.
He really wanted to kill the Han generals at that time, after all, the scene at that time was either the death of the Han generals or his own death. But the crooked blow was right, and the muzzle of the gun happened to be slashed by the knife, which only made the big knife of the Han general jump.
However, Zhang Xuanqing only said to the Bairen Taoist last night: "I have three treasures: one is kindness, the second is thrift, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world." "I didn't expect that my life was threatened in the next day, and I immediately had killing intent. He couldn't help but be a little dazed for a moment.
The Tao Te Ching says: Kindness can be brave, thrift can be wide, dare not be the first in the world, so can become a long. But the "courage" of Taoism is not the courage to dare and challenge, but the courage to "dare not".
"If you dare to kill, if you dare not to live. Both of these are good or bad. "Those who have the courage to show strength are easy to die, and those who have the courage to show weakness under the ridicule of others can survive. Both of these are brave, but the results are different due to the different ways of expression.
Thinking of his previous performance, Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but feel that his behavior was wrong, Taoism's noble life is not only your own life, but all your life. But when he thought of this, he couldn't help but comfort himself, thinking that Lao Tzu had another saying: "If you are frightened, you will be in great trouble", "If you think you are the world, if you can send the world, if you love the world, if you can trust the world", he felt that there was nothing wrong with cherishing his life.
Taoism is extremely precious to one's own life, in the Taoist view, if a person does not even cherish his own life, then this person can never be trusted, never trusted.
However, these words at this time are inevitably suspected of exonerating oneself.
In the process of such entanglement, it was not until the afternoon that Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice finally returned to Guanzhong.
"Brother Dao, are you injured?" As soon as the master and apprentice entered the door, they saw Zhang Xuanqing wrapped in gauze on his shoulders, still sitting there pondering, busy asking questions.
Zhang Xuanqing came back to his senses and waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I was accidentally scratched." What about you? Knowing that there is danger in the city today, you still enter the city, and you don't want to live?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled, didn't say anything worried about you, and directly changed the topic: "Isn't this curious about what will happen in the city, it seems that from today on, this world will be the world of King Qin." ”
"Hehe, that's not necessarily, King Qin is really in charge of the world, and it will take two or three months to precipitate. Zhang Xuanqing didn't say much more, but he had secretly kept the love between the two in his heart.
Next, the two discussed for a while the next actions of the imperial court, and Li Chunfeng listened more and said less on the side, but what he said was reasonable. Zhang Xuanqing combined with historical records, saying that Li Yuan would crown himself as the emperor in a month, prepare for Li Shimin's accession to the throne, and so on, and Li Shimin would not really ascend the throne until the beginning of August.
Sure enough, although Li Shimin killed the crown prince, the king of Qi and his family, he did nothing then, kept his duty, and kept the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. However, Li Yuan lost two sons and several grandchildren in one day, and saw his children killing each other, which was quite a big blow. I no longer have the ambitions of the past, I just want to be a happy old man, and I have the intention of abdicating to make way for the virtuous.
He will not abdicate or succeed, and at present, under his knees, there is still Li Shimin, a reusable son-in-law, and the rest are all concubines, and they are still young. You can't let Li Shimin slaughter a few more, right?
Or slaughtered Li Shimin?
Then their Datang foundation will really be turbulent!
This may also be the reason why Li Shimin is not in a hurry, as long as he waits slowly, the throne will fall on his head sooner or later. And although he didn't make any big moves, small moves were not impossible, like a group of former subordinates, all of whom began to occupy important positions one by one. Even if Li Yuan moved his mind in the future and wanted to change others, he would have to weigh it.
Of course, Li Shimin's small actions are more than these. After the change of Xuanwumen, the first thing to do is to reward meritorious deeds, so as not to chill the hearts of his subordinates.
The position transfer of eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others may still need to go through Li Yuan, but no matter how low the position is, he can call the shots with one hand.
This official is promoted to the third level, and that official is promoted to the second level, in short, according to the merits of each person, each person will be given different rewards. Even the little soldiers who only ran around and ran west got a little silver and grain.
During this period, it was inevitable that on the day of the Xuanwu Gate Change, a Taoist priest who would use the "Lei Fa" appeared, and that person was a prisoner. I heard that Zhang Xuanqing was arrested on the first day of the Chang'an County Order, how can I not guess who it is?
But after learning this, Li Shimin began to get entangled.
