Walking on the muddy country road, Li Dejiang looked solemn. He didn't care about the mud all over his body and walked quickly. He saw that the crops along the way had either turned into scorched earth or collapsed, and his expression could not help changing.
Time has passed half a month.
On that day, Chen Cuo met Yang Ling'er and his party on the Grand Canal, entrusted himself to Pan Tao's subordinates who were brought by him, and then went into seclusion on the boat for three days, and then left the retreat. Although their group all practiced Buddhism,
However, without Chen Cuo's approval, no one dared to use more, so just like ordinary people, they either rode in a carriage or rode a horse along the way, and only occasionally walked on two feet.
However, what is different from ordinary people is that when they run and walk, they can run much faster than riding in a carriage or horse.
After all this hard work, it took seven days to reach the surrounding areas of Luoyang.
Along the way, they passed through the land of Qi, Lu, Henan, and Yan, but unlike the journey that several people took when they came from Guandong, Chen Cuo did not lead them along the official road or the straight road this time, but followed the trail and mountain road, so Yang Ling'er
The others saw the miserable scenes along the way, with refugees everywhere and starving people everywhere, and they became even more frightened.
I originally thought that Qilu and other places were affected by the war, and the Central Plains area when I and others came should not be so miserable. Unexpectedly, when I arrived here this time, I suddenly discovered that the surrounding areas of Luoyang
The situation is probably worse than that in Heluo!
Here, Li Dejiang had just finished speaking, and Li Chunfeng followed closely behind.
He looked at all the things in front of him, his expression was also somewhat solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The land of Heluo has been in the Central Plains since ancient times. Now it is also a land of grain and grass, with a large population. Now that the spring plowing season has passed, the crop fields have become
With this situation, there must be a famine! It’s not just Heluo. Once the refugees caused by the famine spread all over the world, I am afraid it will spread to all places, and Guanzhong will not be able to survive alone!"
"Say one thousand, say ten thousand, what is going on?" Yang Ling'er also came up, turned his eyes, and saw a group of ragged refugees not far away, so he said: "Why don't you find someone to ask?
."
Chen Cuo stood up from his horse and said with a smile: "The world is now divided into two parts. Li Tang has already conquered the heroes in the south and retreated the Turks in the north. He has fought hundreds of battles and has a powerful army. Although Wang Shichong has been running the city of Luoyang for some time, he still can't."
Compared with the soldiers of Li Tang, they were still inferior. The leader Li Shimin was a famous general in hundreds of battles and rarely suffered defeats. Under such circumstances, he naturally did not dare to rely on others. He thought that he would strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and plundered the crops around Luoyang.
, burned everything that could not be taken away, and left nothing for the Tang army. This is why we have made up our mind to rely on the heroic city of Luoyang to confront the Tang army and wait for a turn!"
"For his own selfish gain, he would implement such a vicious strategy!" Li Dejiao said with anger on his face, "Wang Shichong has been running Luoyang for so many years, and the people of Luoyang are also his subjects. How can he have such a vicious heart?"
Li Dingji also came over and said: "After hearing that Wang Shichong is a barbarian, now it seems that he is really a wolf-hearted person..."
"It has nothing to do with whether they are barbarians or not, but rather their cold nature!" Li Chunfeng shook his head, "But in the final analysis, no matter how much we talk here, it will not change the situation. Even if we can help this group of people, the most we can do is give
Their little food cannot change the fundamentals." At the end, he couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Chen Cuo's expression moved slightly, he looked towards the group of refugees who were walking in a hurry, and then he said: "Go and bring the two leaders to me."
"Um?"
After hearing this, Li Chunfeng and others had doubts, but they thought that maybe their teacher wanted to do a good deed every day, so they did not dare to ask any more questions. Especially Li Chunfeng, who immediately stepped forward, with the ground under his feet shrinking.
The ground was an inch smaller, and with a few flickers of light, people were already in front of the team.
His sudden appearance really surprised the team. In addition, everyone in the team was already fleeing, and their hearts were tense. When they saw this, they immediately became confused.
However, when the two leaders raised their hands and scolded them twice, the team that was about to be in chaos quickly settled down, and then arranged in an orderly manner one after another.
"Huh?"
At this time, Li Chunfeng finally noticed something was wrong. Then he looked at the team and finally discovered the clue.
"I was far away just now, and I didn't pay attention. Looking at it now, this team is really too neat. Judging from the situation just now, it can even be called a command and prohibition! Like an elite soldier!"
After all, he had a family background, was close to the Li family in Guanzhong, and knew some military tactics. At this time, he felt suspicious. When he looked at this group of people, he saw that they were all sallow and thin, and their clothes were ragged. They looked hungry at first glance.
After a while, after being glanced at by him, many people subconsciously searched their necks, showing fear on their faces.
"No matter which aspect you look at, this is a standard group of people fleeing. There is nothing special about them. In this case, the key reason lies in the two people who took the lead."
Thinking like this, his eyes turned and fell on the two leading people, and he looked at them carefully for a moment.
These two people are not very old, one is slightly taller and the other is thinner. They are both in their teens, but they are not short in stature. They look strong and strong. Their temples are bulging. At first glance, they look like they have worked hard. They are two practitioners.
, especially the eyes of the two of them, with the divine light inside, they must be successful in martial arts!
Such two people actually became the leaders of the refugees, which inevitably made Li Chunfeng a little wary.
At this time, the taller man stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Why did you stop us, sir?"
The thin man also said: "Looking at the young master's clothes and skills, he is not an ordinary person. Could it be that he is deliberately trying to block us?"
"That's rude." Li Chunfeng then said with a cup of his hands, "It's true that my elders see these two extraordinary people, so I want to invite you to talk."
"Your elders would like to invite me and I to come over?" The two of them looked at each other, then looked at Chen Cuo and his group not far away. Then the taller man shook his head and said: "No! We have other important things to do.
I want to lead these people to join Taiwei Wang!"
"To whom?" Li Chunfeng was stunned. "Wang Shichong?"
"Presumptuous!" The thin man suddenly frowned coldly, "How can you mention the Taiwei's name so casually?"
Valley
Li Chunfeng immediately narrowed his eyes, his thoughts racing.
Although he has been in the secret realm of Taihua for a while, he has not lost contact with the outside world. In addition, he has heard about it all the way east. He naturally knows that Wang Shichong is occupying Luoyang, waiting for the news of the death of Sui Emperor Yang Guang.
, he immediately found a clan member to elect him as the emperor, and then he had to be granted the title of Taiwei, the post of Prime Minister, and the military and political affairs.
In the realm of Luoyang, the only person who can be called Taiwei Wang is Zheng Guogong and Wang Shichong.
Can……
"Are you going to lead these refugees to find Wang Shichong? How can he take these people in?"
Li Chunfeng frowned.
According to the teacher, the tragic situation around him was all caused by Wang Shichong. He had created the disaster with his own hands. How could he follow the refugees and defect to him? Then again, what did he want these refugees to do? Why would the refugees be willing to defect to Wang Shichong? Is it possible?
Did the teacher make a mistake?
As soon as he thought about this, Li Chunfeng shook his head.
"Teacher has great supernatural powers and is the highest in the world. He cannot make mistakes! This problem may lie with these two people!"
Thinking like this, his eyes fell on the two people again. At this moment, both of them looked impatient and wary.
The taller man even raised his voice and said: "Retreat quickly! Don't miss our mission!"
Just as Li Chunfeng was about to speak, a hand fell on his shoulder, and then Chen Cuo's voice sounded in Li Chunfeng's ears.
"Whatever you say is useless to these two people."
"You guys, big and small, seem to be deliberately looking for trouble! In this case, don't blame us brothers for being rude!" The two people opposite saw Chen Cuo coming with a mysterious appearance, and after hearing his words, they didn't even think about it at all.
Be unambiguous and take the first shot!
Tsk! Tsk!
Just after hearing two sounds breaking through the air, the two of them spread their palms, with bursts of hot breath on them. They attacked Li Chunfeng one after another. They didn't care about Chen Cuo and wanted to capture Li Chunfeng first!
"You do have some discernment and know which one to capture first. Unfortunately, although you two have some luck, you are no match for my registered disciple. In order not to waste time, let me capture you!" Chen Cuo
With a chuckle, he flicked his long sleeves, and the airflow around them suddenly became chaotic. The two attackers seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool of airflow. It was difficult to stand still. They fell to the ground in less than a breath!
"What are you going to do!"
"Don't hurt the two living Buddha guards!"
"the wicked!"
Suddenly, the team led by the two men suddenly started to make a noise, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation, as if they were about to pounce at the next moment!
"Certainly!"
Chen Cuo uttered one word, which made it difficult for everyone to move. Then he looked at the two people who had fallen down and asked: "You two are so guilty of murder. You must have been great thieves in the past. How come you suddenly let go of robbery?"
Instead of doing a promising job, you came over to work as a coolie for Wang Shichong?"
"Let me wait! It's too late, you will regret it later!"
"My two brothers have received enlightenment from the Living Buddha! They already understand the true principles of heaven and earth!"
"Oh? It's interesting. What truth do you all understand?" Chen Cuo looked at the two of them attentively, and saw that there was a strange thought in their minds, flashing with brilliance, illuminating the whole soul, and seeing the original thought
, the personality has been completely suppressed!
"You don't want to let us go, do you? Well, then you will take over from me and continue to escort! Judging from your appearance, you will definitely be able to complete your mission!" The taller man sneered, and his expression changed immediately.
, very solemn, his lips flapped, and a strange murmur came out of his mouth, which seemed to be some kind of language, but it was unpredictable, and it was something Li Chunfeng had never heard before!
"What do you mean? Teacher, what's going on with these people? One living Buddha at a time, and that Wang Shichong is involved, it's really weird and weird!"
"Is there anything strange? Their hearts have been broken open, and other people's thoughts have been implanted into their hearts. They are chanting sutras to stimulate their thoughts!"
"Implantation of thoughts?"
Li Chunfeng became more and more confused.
Bang! Bang!
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard several explosions, and the two people lying on the ground exploded!
