Chapter 23 Zen Rang
"King Lian thinks thoughtfully, and I don't treat him badly. King Lian is still the title of King Lian in the independent country. King Lian had subordinates of the title when he was in charge of the country, and the original title was also enshrined in this dynasty. According to the example of this dynasty, the king's fief is a county, and the feudal marquis is no more than a thousand households. The generals have also remained in office, although they are soldiers and farmers, and they cannot be without leaders in wartime. The civil officials who remain and those with good character can enter the office and handle it in the Ministry of Officials. After listening to the name change report, Li Wumang made arrangements one by one.
When King Lian entered the pilgrimage, he was grateful to Emperor Datong.
"King Lian, this dynasty is people-oriented, don't let me down. The original generals are inevitably mixed, and King Lian will be tightly restrained, and if there is a traitor, the court will severely punish him. "There is no mang, grace and power.
When King Lian heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. "Remember. ”
After more than ten days, Liu Sicheng came to Gaozhou to see Li Wumang.
"Mr. is in the dust, running back and forth with the dignity of an emperor, and he really can't go away. Although Li Wumang was reluctant to accept Zen concessions, he still had to say polite words.
Liu Sicheng smiled. "No matter how big or small things are in the three northern states, I have the idea, and I really can't leave. It's just a big thing for Zen, and I don't dare to fake the hands of others. This is Liu Sicheng's second meeting with Li Wumang after he ascended the throne, and he is no longer rigid in etiquette, so there is no need to call himself Sicheng every time.
Li Wumang took out the copper wrench again. "Mr. left in a hurry last time, this wrench is still on Wumang's body, please take it back. ”
Liu Sicheng took the wrench.
"Wumang, don't you say that I will also take it back, this is the national treasure of Anguo, when it is handed over to you in the Zen ceremony, the same is true of the fairy bow and fairy arrow. ”
"Sir, let's talk about this in a few days. ”
Liu Sicheng shook his head. "Wumang, I know that you have just received the fief of King Lian, and you can't pull away for a while. It's just that I'm so anxious with Tianshun that I don't have time to wait. ”
"Duguo reported in Anguo's eyeline, Mr. and Tianshun are safe, and the overall situation is still peaceful. An Guo won't be as difficult as Mr. said, right?" Li Wumang looked at Liu Sicheng.
Liu Sicheng nodded.
"Wumang, your eyeliner is not bad, Anguo looks peaceful at the moment. It's just an undercurrent surging, and the danger is not something he can see. ”
"There are more than 20 states in Anguo, and the country alone is unable to take responsibility, please be clear. "Li Wumang is just prevaricating.
"When I came, I also heard about King Lian, and you can do what King Lian does when you don't have a mang. ”
Li Wumang couldn't say any more, so he only nodded.
Liu Sicheng said: "I negotiated with Tianshun, sixteen days later is the auspicious day of the zodiac, Tianshun and I built a platform under the rich mountain ten miles outside the capital, where Zen gave the emperor's throne. At that time, there is no mang, who can lead people to the capital of Anguo. There will be documents along the way, and there will be no soldiers to stop them. ”
Now that Li Wumang had no choice but to admit it.
......
Ten days later, Li Wumang led 50,000 horses and horses, crossed the Xiaojiang River to the capital of Anguo, and all the way to the pass were opened and released, and there were grain and grass along the way. Many of the squires and wealthy families came to work in the army. In densely populated places, the common people eat pot pulp to welcome the army of the independent country. This was expected.
The army walked and stopped, walked for more than a thousand miles for five days, and arrived at Fugui Mountain the day before the auspicious day that Liu Sicheng said. The earthen platform of Zen has been stationed, and the platform is three zhang high. Anguo's 50,000 horses set up a large camp on the right side of the platform. The 50,000 men of the independent kingdom of Li Wumang camped on the left side.
Liu Sicheng and Emperor Tianshun were there to greet Li Wumang. After seeing the ceremony, Liu Sicheng temporarily set up a big tent in front of the meditation platform, and asked Li Wumang to enter the tent to rest.
After entering the big tent, the three of them sat down. Li Wumang looked at Tianshun Emperor Liu Shi, twenty-one or two years old, with a white face and a melancholy face.
Liu Sicheng said: "No mang, tomorrow Zen will give way to etiquette, I have already checked the history books, and I am ready to stop." The ceremony starts at noon, what can I explain if I don't have anything?"
"Have all the officials of Anguo been settled?" this is what Li Wumang is most concerned about.
Liu Shi took over. "It's all settled, and there are still some people who are not satisfied, and it's okay to think about it. ”
Liu Sicheng said: "The unfinished matters and my brother will help Wumang deal with them after the Zen ceremony, don't worry." ”
Liu Shi nodded.
Liu Sicheng continued: "I'm worried that those who harbor evil intentions are not conducive to Wumang, and today we all live in the barracks. Wumang lives in the camp of the independent country, and my brother and I live in the camp of the country, and the two sides have a care. Come here tonight. ”
"That's what Mr. said. Li Wumang can't find fault with Liu Sicheng's arrangement.
......
At noon the next day, according to Liu Sicheng's arrangement, with Chanrangtai as the boundary, the 2,000 troops of the An army were on the right, and the 2,000 men and horses of the independent army were on the left. It is separated by ten zhang in the center, and it is the avenue of the stage. The three emperors wore their uniforms in front, and the civil and military ministers of Anguo and Liguo followed, and walked from the avenue to Tutai.
Li Wumang walked in the front, and the last ten zhang Xu were Liu Sicheng's brothers, Liu Sicheng held the bow of the void, and Liu Sishi held nine arrows that broke the sky with silver Hulusheng. Behind the Liu Sicheng brothers are hundreds of officials.
When Liu Sicheng walked five feet away from the soil platform, he suddenly heard a strange sound behind him. As soon as he turned around, a man rushed out of the ranks of the Anjun army. Holding Changge against Liu Sicheng's brother is Yige. The Liu brothers were very good at kung fu and avoided it. The team was in chaos, and there were 100 soldiers in Anguo, all of whom were Changge in hand, building against the Liu brothers.
In the confusion, Liu Shi grabbed a Ge and blocked the attacking Changge.
Liu Sicheng picked up the silver hulu that fell on the ground and held the immortal arrows, opened the bow and arrows, the bow and arrows buzzed, and Li Wumang felt the surrounding aura surging.
Liu Sicheng was an arrow at the soldiers who seemed to be the leader. The cluster of arrows came out of the body, and five Anguo soldiers who were holding the country were killed with one arrow.
The 4,000 men and horses of the two countries were originally honor guards, and they did not dare to move without military orders, so they could only watch.
One hundred and ten soldiers who assassinated the Liu brothers were unmoved when they saw Liu Sicheng kill five people with one arrow. All together, hold on to the chaos to build.
Liu Shi rose up with great might, slashed Ge, and knocked down seven or eight people, Liu Sicheng got free, took another arrow, and pulled the bow full.
These are just momentary things, Li Wumang saw the Liu brothers being attacked, and at first thought that An Jun would also attack him. Seeing that the Anguo soldiers just wanted to harm the Liu brothers, no one was unfavorable to them.
Li Wumang was in a hurry, and couldn't help but think about it. A fortune power soared into the air and swooped straight over. Li Wumang was halfway through, condescending, and saw Liu Sicheng's cruel eyes. Li Wumang knew at this time that he had fallen into a trap, and cold sweat oozed from his back.
Li Wumang in mid-air rose to the end, and there was no way to change his position. Liu Sicheng's immortal arrow shot out.
This is a magic weapon that immortal cultivators in the foundation building period can't escape, and Li Wumang knew the benefits and disadvantages of this magic weapon when he shot Tingyue that day, and it was impossible to escape.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and a lightning light hit the fairy arrow, and the fairy arrow reached Li Wumang's chest at this time, and it fell to the ground as a thunderbolt. Li Wumang's body sank and landed three feet away from Liu Sicheng.
Liu Sicheng is already a ninth-level cultivator of the "Residual Heart Method", and he can actually open the bow again without allowing a hair, and it is another arrow against Li Wumang. The thunderclap roared again, and a bolt of lightning shot down the second arrow.
Li Wumang stood there looking at Liu Sicheng, Liu Sicheng looked up at the sky for a long time, and the participants all looked up at the sky as if they were affected by him. The chrysanthemum-like cloud in the clear sky was brilliant and golden. Everyone knew that it was this Immortal Cultivation Array that saved Li Wumang.
Liu Sicheng lowered his head and looked at Li Wumang. "Wumang, why don't you do it yet?"
Li Wumang knew that this was not the time to fight, so he responded: "Okay." As soon as he entered and grabbed the wrist of the Liu brothers, Liu Sicheng did not move, Liu Shi flipped his wrist and smashed an elbow hammer to Li Wumang's waist.
In Li Wumang's eyes, Liu Sishi's moves were too slow, Li Wumang grabbed his wrist lightly, and with a rush of spiritual power, the Liu brothers slumped their bodies. Li Wumang lightly took it. Two steps over the earthen platform of Zen Rang.
went up to the earthen platform and put the unconscious Liu brothers aside.
Li Wumang used his skills and said loudly: "Shicai is a demon casting spell, and he wants to harm the three of me, how do you know that I have the protection of the immortal cultivation array, how can I hurt me." The two Majesties of the Liu family were delirious. I brought it back to the camp to heal my wounds. The ministers of Angola have their own positions and perform their duties. The generals in the army must restrain their subordinates and must not slack off. When the two Majesties of the Liu family come to their senses, they will have their own arrangements. ”
The Liu brothers set up this bureau to kill Li Wumang, so they naturally acted secretly, and did enough work in the court, and the ministers all thought that the Liu family was sincere and wanted to concede.
When Li Wumang said this, they all saw the protection of Li Wumang by the Great Array of Immortal Cultivators, and they all believed Li Wumang's statement a little.
The more than 100 dead soldiers were arranged by Liu Sicheng, and when he saw the Liu brothers being captured, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, pretending to be awake from a big dream. Otherwise, Li Wumang will investigate the act of killing the king, which is a great crime to exterminate the nine clans.
The princes and ministers of Anguo discussed for a while, and Prince Kang walked to the earthen platform and bowed to Li Wumang.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Datong, the ministers of Anguo asked Xiao Wang to come and see the injuries of the two emperors, please ask Your Majesty to give permission. ”
Li Wumang nodded and said, "Yes." ”
This King Kang is the hall master of the Xianyou Palace, and he is also the imperial uncle and master of the Liu brothers. The cultivation of the seventh layer of the Disabled Heart Method, in the Liu royal family, is second only to Liu Sicheng in skill.
The Liu brothers were lying on their backs on the earthen platform, and King Kang walked up to the Liu brothers and squatted down. Seeing that the faces of the two were still good, they first reached out and pressed Liu Sicheng's pulse, and Liu Sicheng's pulse was strong. There were no injuries. Later, I checked on Liu Shi, and it was the same as his brother.
Prince Kang stood up.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang checked the pulse of the two emperors, and neither of them was injured, but they were unconscious, I don't know why?"
"There is a demonic soul and soul snatching magic among the demons, and the recipient of the Dharma is not in a clear mind, and only knows how to act according to the wishes of the demons. Afterwards, the light ones are like waking up from a dream, and the heavy ones are unconscious. The two emperors are heavy. "Li Wumang's appearance definitely doesn't look like lying.
King Kang saw that the soldiers who had assassinated the Liu brothers in the audience had all returned, and he was full of energy and nodded as if he was nothing. "I see, Xie Majesty advised. ”
After resigning Li Wumang, he returned to the Anguo Ministers, and told everyone about the strange injuries of the Liu brothers and what Li Wumang said. Most of the courtiers believed.
Prince Kang was highly respected in Anguo, and instructed the ministers to go back first, and personally brought Anguo's 2,000 men and horses back to the Anjun camp on the right side of the Tutai.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the Minister of Anguo had dispersed, Li Wumang ordered someone to carry the Liu brothers with a chariot, and led 2,000 men and horses back to the camp of the independent country on the left. Let the Liu brothers be carried into their big tent and placed on a soft couch.
Li Wumang sat down in front of the bookcase, looked at the unconscious Liu brothers, and thought about the process of interacting with Liu Sicheng during this time, Liu Sicheng used Zen as bait all the way, in order to assassinate himself.
Li Wumang calmed down, and thought through a few key points.
......
At first, Liu Sicheng exchanged letters with Emperor Tianshun in order to worship Hua Wu, and Tianshun considered his own situation and was willing to send the bow and arrows that broke the sky to the country. I think that the two have exchanged a lot of letters, and they both understand that the current situation of the independent country will not last long, and they are unwilling to let the foundation of their ancestors fall into the hands of others, so they abandon their previous suspicions and reconcile, as for who will be the emperor in the future, Li Wumang has no heart to guess.
After the Liu brothers reconciled, the main enemy was Li Wumang. First, Li Wumang occupied the western Kyushu, which was originally the land of Anguo, and secondly, the independent court was people-oriented, and it was light on the small endowment. As a result, the minds of several states in Anguo on the west bank of the Xiao River have changed, and the people are looking forward to the emperor of Datong crossing the river. It made Emperor Tianshun sit on pins and needles.
After Li Wumang's accession to the throne, when Liu Sicheng came to Gaozhou for the first time, he asked Li Wumang to cross the river, and at that time he also counted on relying on Li Wumang's troops to defeat the Tianshun Emperor together with the Northern Sanzhou and replace him. After Li Wumang refused, he knew that he was unable to unify Anguo, and Li Wumang was the great enemy of the Liu family, so he wanted to get rid of him quickly.
Liu Sicheng understands Li Wumang's temperament, although Li Wumang is an immortal cultivator, he is easy to be influenced by the world's feelings and the well-being of the people, so he set this trap.
It is not easy to kill Li Wumang, what an immortal cultivator can do, how can mortal means compete with him, but the Liu family has a family magic weapon, of course the Liu family understands the benefits and disadvantages of the magic weapon, and it should not be a problem to shoot Li Wumang.
Liu Sicheng was scheming, fearful of immortal cultivators, and set up a Zen concession bureau. First, in the hinterland of Anguo, Li Wumang's soldiers and horses were limited, and he failed, Li Wumang killed the Liu brothers, and no matter how great his ability was, it was difficult to get out. Second, Zen can make Li Wumang relax his vigilance and make it easier to succeed.
Liu Sicheng arranged more than 100 dead soldiers for all plans, and his subordinates deployed soldiers to assassinate him, disturbing Li Wumang's mind, and waiting for an opportunity to give Li Wumang a thunderous blow. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, and the immortal cultivators have saved Li Wumang. Otherwise, Li Wumang will definitely die.
Li Wumang knew that the Great Array of Cultivating Immortals would not hurt him, but he didn't know that the Great Array would actually protect him, thinking that the Lost Bow, the Sky Breaking Arrow and the "Four Cultivation Chrysanthemum Breaking Array" were the same, leaving a way for the destined people of the "Phoenix Mercy Remainder". It's just that the bows and arrows are restrained by the big array.
Come to mind. Li Wumang's heart suddenly brightened. The secret path is sinister, and we must be careful in the future.
Just now, I sent away the ministers of Anguo with my own words, and there must be an excuse tomorrow. The current situation in Angola is a mess, and the 50,000 people in the independent country are in danger, so they must think of a comprehensive way.
There are only a few ministers of the Ministry of Rites who came with Li Wumang, the original owner of Liuzhai, who changed their names and equals in the independent country, and Li Wumang didn't even have an idea. I can't think of any good way, so I might as well discuss it with the Liu brothers.
In order to protect the lowly immortal cultivators from being hurt by mortals, there are some techniques that use spiritual power to hurt people, and the first layer of qi can protect themselves, although the immortal cultivators of the third layer of qi are no different from mortals, mortal warriors must not be the opponents of immortal cultivators. When Li Wumang cultivated the "Peeping Dao Jue", he reached the cultivation of the third level of Qi cultivation, and he did not seriously practice these techniques. Today, he didn't want to kill the Liu brothers in public, and he made a hasty move to achieve miraculous results. The Liu brothers are still unconscious.
Li Wumang went to the soft couch, stretched out his hand and pressed on the top of the two people's heads, and his spiritual power shook slightly. The Liu brothers slowly woke up. Liu Sicheng sat down in front of the bookcase, waiting for the two of them to recover their spirit and body.
After a while, the two of them sat up from the stone couch one after another.
Li Wumang said: "Two Majestic, please sit"
The Liu brothers looked at each other, got off the soft couch, and sat on the big chairs on both sides of Li Wumang's bookcase.
Liu Sicheng had no intention of surviving, and said lightly: "What do you have to say?"
"Wumang has always been respectful to Mr., why did Mr. kill Wumang?"
"Wumang, you have accepted my title of King of Jingxi, occupied the western Kyushu but set yourself up as the emperor, what is the respect?" Liu Sicheng replied unhurriedly.
"Sir has a point. Although Li Wumang has an excellent mind, he told Liu Sicheng that this nonsense was not good, and he was defeated.
Liu Sicheng saw that Li Wumang did not refute, and said: "Zen has not made the big gift, what are Wumang's plans?"
"Wumang is about to ask Mr. for advice, I don't know how to deal with the aftermath?" Li Wumang's expression was calm.
"Even if I have a good plan, I won't say, how can the Liu family's country be lost to me. At present, there are only 50,000 people in the country, what can be done. However, since you have kidnapped my two brothers, there is no problem in ensuring that you return to Western Kyushu. Liu Sicheng sneered.
"Sir, if Wumang wants to leave, who can stop him. Since Wumang is here, he can't go back empty-handed. Tomorrow, I will summon the ministers of King An in Daying, and let them see the two crazy emperors. Li Wumang smiled and looked at the Liu brothers.
"The situation in Anguo is complicated, how can everyone listen to the words of the unanimous side. Liu Sicheng was a little weak-hearted.
"The two Majesties' desire to give up is not out of the mouth of no mang. There are very few people who know that it is a trap for Mr. Who wouldn't believe the words of an immortal cultivator?"
Liu Shi didn't speak, and he couldn't hold back after listening to Li Wumang's words. "Since you are an immortal cultivator, how can you compete with mortals for wealth?"
Li Wumang smiled proudly. "How can you inquire about the actions of immortal cultivators?"
Liu Shi lowered his head and remained silent.
"It doesn't hurt to sue the two Majesties, one is to think of the people's suffering, and the other is to hone one's own heart. Tomorrow, I will sit on the throne of Anguo, and within three or two years, I will slaughter the entire Liu clan to repay the two Majesties for their generous gifts today. Li Wumang smiled when he said these words. The Liu brothers shuddered when they heard this.
Liu Shi said: "Li Wumang, you said that you miss the suffering of the people, and it is also the heart of benevolence. Why do you want to slaughter the Liu clan?"
"Liu Shi, immortal cultivators are not benevolent people, and they don't care about mortal affairs. Thinking of the suffering of the people is not high in my mental cultivation, and Li should practice hard. Slaughtering the Liu clan can sharpen one's heart, why not? Moreover, the path of cultivating immortals must be a bloody and killing road. I can't bear to kill thousands of people in the Liu family, and Li is still talking about how to cultivate immortals!"
The Liu brothers' faces were like ashes.
"Sir just thinks he understands Wumang, and thinks that Wumang is kind-hearted and will not hurt the innocent. Therefore, he acted unscrupulously, but he didn't know how immortal cultivators could be speculated by mortals. Li Wumang glanced at Liu Sicheng with disdain.
"Wumang, you threaten the Liu clan, but you just want my brother to help you sit on the throne of Anguo, and we promise you. Liu Sicheng also thought that he could negotiate conditions with Li Wumang.
"Mr. is bad, there is no order Kunzhong to help, and there is no mang. A great opportunity for cultivation, Wumang has no intention of giving up. ”
Liu Sicheng could only beg for mercy in a low voice. "Wumang, I have a fellowship with you, is it good to let the Liu family live?"
"Sir, whether to put it or not to let go of the Liu family, Wumang didn't make up his mind for a while, and Wumang's bottom line is known to Mr. With Wumang's current cultivation, no one can kill me. If I want to kill Mr. and Brother Ling, even if the palace is strictly forbidden, it is just a matter of raising my hands. ”
The Liu brothers nodded helplessly.
"I don't have to hold the two hostage, now kill Mr. and Brother Ling, and abandon 50,000 independent military horses. In the future, the country will be in chaos. The Liu clan doesn't have to do it without mang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive. ”
Liu Sicheng sighed. "Yes. Anguo was in chaos, the dynasty was overthrown, and the Liu family was at the end of their rope. ”
"With today's matter, you don't want to break off with Mr. Grace! You don't expect Su Maha to save a pair of children for you. Don't say that I will go and get it myself, Su Maha can't protect it, and over time, Su Maha will know your behavior, and he will naturally send the prince and princess to Wumang. Li Wumang knows Liu Sicheng's shortcomings.
Liu Sicheng's face was like ashes when he heard this.
"When I was in the Northern Three States, I had a correspondence with Su Maha. Knowing that the power of Wumang is expanding day by day in the wilderness. Su Maha also has great respect for immortal cultivators. I believe what I say. ”
Seeing that his brother was like this, Liu Shi had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, if the Liu brothers do it, Your Majesty can only command." Give us a chance to atone for our sins, and we don't have any demands, including how to deal with the Liu clan. ”
Liu Sicheng also nodded hurriedly.
"Well, from now on, I have nothing to do with you. Liu Sicheng, Liu Shi, I am a Ming person who doesn't say dark words, tomorrow the two of you will give up the throne, don't have another accident, I can not kill you. ”
The Liu brothers stood up and bowed, "Thank you." ”
Li Wumang suddenly stood up.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
The Liu brothers were stunned. "Your Majesty is gracious. ”
"Ten miles away, tens of thousands of iron horsemen are coming here, Liu Sicheng, is it the back hand you left in advance?"
Liu Sicheng looked at Liu Shi, and Liu Shi looked dazed.
Liu Sicheng said: "There has never been such an arrangement. ”
"I think An Jun is afraid that something will happen to the two of you, and I don't know who came to the rescue. ”
That is, to give orders. The camp of the independent country immediately became noisy and neighing, and the soldiers were ready for battle.
After a while, the sound of thousands of galloping horses came to the ground, and surrounded the camp of the independent country. The guards came to report: "Your Majesty, the security army has more than 100,000 people and horses, and the big camp is surrounded." ”
Li Wumang let out a "hmm" and said to Brother Liu Sicheng: "Anguo is really disordered, and the soldiers and horses are not bound by the commander. When the Zen ceremony ended, I told the Minister of Anguo that you were bewitched by demons and hurt your mind. I brought it back to the camp to heal my wounds. The ministers of Angola have their own positions and perform their duties. The generals in the army must restrain their subordinates and must not slack off. The prince of Nakang checked the injuries of the two of you, discussed with everyone, and went back separately. Knocking out this passer-by again?"
