025 Strife

Li Xiangyang sat leisurely and said modestly: "The general has won the award, and the demeanor of this king back then is also the credit of the general's saddle and horse." ”

The veterans present couldn't help but laugh, Guan Zhen was Li Xiangyang's general in his early years, and he was responsible for taking care of Li Xiangyang during the march. Every day, just helping him get on the horse, dismount, and take medicine, he was so busy that he had no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy. Later, it was Li Xiangyang who found out that Guan Zhen was a talent and recommended him to Emperor Zhaozong. (In Yongguo, the general is not an official military rank, and there are a few hundred sergeants under his command at most.) )

Ang Lee rode his horse forward, as if he was in a sea of trees. The autumn leaves are a variety of colors such as red, orange, yellow, and green, and are as bright as spring flowers in March. Coupled with the undulating terrain of Taiyi Mountain, all the colors flow and rush, and it is so vivid that people can't ignore it.

It is like layers of water waves, impregnating all the elegance between heaven and earth, whistling up the clear sky.

Among the frost leaves all over the mountain, Li An suddenly saw a little cold light, which was the unique cold reflection of cold iron. With a whoosh, a feathered arrow sank into the trunk of the tree, leaving only the tail feathers trembling slightly.

"Sick seedling, your kung fu of drilling the horse's belly is very handsome, haha!"

Hearing only the sound of a whistle, a green horse emerged from the bushes, and a young man in a strong suit jumped from the tree and landed on the horse's back. The bow and arrows were opened, and the cold light flashed on the arrows, and the light in the young man's eyes was even colder. Aiming at Li Andao: "You dare to poison my brother and eat me with an arrow!"

This young man is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly body, which is Guan Xiong's younger brother Guan Jie.

Li An narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the younger brother of the bear." The willow leaf flying knife, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, suddenly brushed past the corner of Guan Jie's forehead, Guan Jie only felt that the corner of his forehead was cold, and when he was nervous, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but the fingers controlling the string were accidentally loosened.

Whoosh! Feather arrows burst out. Guan Jie was completely stunned.

"Little Prince!"

General Dingbei's two sons, Xue Ren and Xue Li, happened to see Guan Jie shoot at Li An in the chest, and they were shocked. Xue Ren exclaimed, Xue Li quickly pulled his bow and arrow, and it was also an arrow that swished.

I only heard a few soft sounds, accompanied by the sound of gold and iron rubbing, a few willow leaf flying knives turned into virtual shadows, and they fell countless times in an instant, cutting the iron arrows shot by Guan Jie into iron slag and spilling them with the wind.

The green horse suddenly neighed with a long cry, and the hoofed man stood up, and then galloped wildly, with a feathered arrow stuck in the horse's hip, and the blood rushed all the way. It turned out that Xue Li's arrow was shot at a horse.

Guan Jie was stunned, and was suddenly thrown off the horse, rolled twice on the ground, turned over and jumped, and the green horse had no shadow. He just wanted to scare Li An, but now he really gave Li An an arrow, but he was shocked and frightened, and his soul was not possessed. Suddenly, the corners of my forehead itched and cool, like insects crawling back and forth. When I raised my hand and touched it, the palm was blood-red, and it turned out that when the flying knife brushed it just now, it scraped off a piece of skin and flesh.

Li An gestured to the Xue family brothers, and the willow leaf flying knife was shining with silver light, floating in front of him, flickering left and right, up and down, out of nowhere.

The Xue brothers dismounted and saluted Li An, Xue Li secretly thought in his heart: It is said that the little prince is weak and sickly and cannot practice martial arts, but who knows that he is a monk!

In the forest, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and Guan Xiong and Wang Han rode together.

Guan Xiong already had several hares hanging on his horseback. Seeing his brother Guan Jie's head bleeding, his face sank suddenly. The wound on Guan Jie's forehead suddenly became painful, and he hummed and complained: "Li An scolded you, he said that I am the younger brother of the bear." ”

Someone in the forest suddenly sneered, the branches and leaves were different, and Yang Xiao, the son of the Taiwei, came out and said: "The little prince has raised you too much, you are obviously a stupid donkey." ”

Although Guan Xiong also secretly scolded the stupid man in his heart, he couldn't tolerate others to ridicule his brother, and snorted coldly: "When did Yang Gongzi become the eagle dog of the little prince?"

Yang Xiao was a little on tiptoe, his body was as light as a swallow in the air, and when the height was level with the crown of the tree, his waist twisted and his center of gravity moved down, his body suddenly turned sideways, his toes hooked the trunk steadily, and the whole person hung upside down from the tree and said: "A certain dog and bear has been howling for seven days, and all that is left in his mind is how to please the sissy, how can he understand the chic style of this young master, who is hard to buy a master?"

Uncle Wang Han was furious, raised his horsewhip and whipped it on the trunk of the tree, and shouted: "Who do you say is a sissy?" The red leaves fell like flowers, falling on Wang Han's hair and clothes, and even more set off his red lips and white teeth, and his complexion was soft. The breeze blows, and there is a faint aroma of fat powder.

Li An sneezed and said, "Uncle Guo, let's go home and wash my face." He bowed his hand to Yang Xiao and said, "The hero sees the same thing." With that, he laughed loudly and reached out to catch a flying red leaf. galloped away with the Xue family brothers.

Guan Xiong was furious, glaring, and was about to find the guy who took advantage of it and Yang Xiao's theory. Yang Xiao suddenly released the arrow, only to hear a few swishing sounds, Guan Xiong's crotch under the horse raised its hooves and screamed, running wildly, and there were two more feathered arrows on the horse's hips.

The royal palace of Taiyi Mountain, the height of the palace pavilions is scattered, and the thin light mist makes this palace located in the mountains seem a little ethereal. If you climb to a high place and look down, you will definitely find that there are already troops stationed around Taiyi Mountain, and there are bonfires burning in front of countless tents.

In the main hall of the palace, a temporary court meeting is underway.

The ancient kingdom of Baiyue, located in the southern black marsh, did not send envoys to pay tribute this year. Emperor Zhaozong summoned his ministers to hear their opinions.

But at this moment, things obviously deviated from Emperor Zhaozong's expectations, and the ministers quarreled fiercely, not to mention the main battle and the main peace. The ministers who also fought the main battle were also red-faced because of the question of who to recommend to lead the troops.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is also optimistic about Feng Tang of the military department, this person is a commander!"

"Feng Tang, I heard that he is very good at building bridges and paving roads, will he also fight?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's safer to send veterans, and Weichen recommends Lord Taiwei. ”

Zhaozong has a headache, few of these people are really thinking about the interests of the country. In their opinion, it is better to fight, and there is a lot to be gained in military spending and logistics. In the attack on Baiyue, victory is inevitable, so the key question becomes who to send? Which force will this credit fall on?

Father-in-law Qi Shun received His Majesty's signal, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Silence!

Zhaozong said: "Teacher, what do you think?" Emperor Zhaozong respected Li Xiangyang as a teacher, and treated each other as a teacher in the court. There was silence for a while, and after waiting for a long time, Li Xiangyang did not answer. Zhaozong got up and walked down the imperial steps, only to see Li Xiangyang reclining on the Taishi chair and falling asleep.

Qi Shun trotted away, came to Li Xiangyang, and gently pushed him and said, "Lord Wang, Lord wake up, Your Majesty will ask you." ”

"What are you asking?"

Qi Shun said in a low voice: "Baiyue does not come to pay tribute, the ministers suggest attacking Baiyue, what does the prince think?"

Li Xiangyang got up, sorted out his court clothes, and said: "What is there to fight in the black swamp where poisonous snakes and miasma are everywhere? Baiyue Country does not produce salt, and there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, so cut off the channels for them to buy salt and pills, and see how long they can last?"
