The move to save Queen Nangong was made first by the Bi family.
As for "Sowing", due to two strong winds, the entire Mingtai County has been filled with complaints. To be honest, this situation is actually more favorable to her.
And as the situation developed, it became more and more certain to capture Lu Mingfeng, so she simply plotted against Lu Mingfeng.
But really wanting to move Li Ju was not part of her original purpose of this trip. After all, the target of her revenge was an emperor. No matter how useless the emperor was, he was still the reassurance to maintain the order of the people in the imperial city.
Everything changed when Ye Zheng shouted "Wu Shaoning" in front of the Dengqian Teahouse.
Shen Lie and his men appeared in Hejing, which was completely out of her plan.
In this way, various developments came together, including Dr. Du's injury due to Zhuge Mountain, the arrival of Yang Guanxian, etc. In the end, Li Ju ushered in his end early.
And Shen Lie appeared, and Shen Lie's soldiers and horses also came, which are two different things.
If Shen Lie's soldiers and horses were not there, it would be very difficult for her. She had already planned to instigate Song Zhiyi, use their soldiers and horses to keep Guan Ning, who was deceived by the Bi family from going to Changyang, to march, and then lead Song Zhiyi to other ways. The soldiers and horses entered the border of Li Qian. When her men came, they would eat up all Song Zhiyi's soldiers and horses in the border of Li Qian.
These are her ideas. Ideas are easy, but if you really want to implement them, you have to plan step by step, calculate various risks and accidents, and make backup plans.
And this is just Guan Ning's march, there are also Bi Jiajun, Li's cavalry and various large and small military camps waiting for her, so it will be really hard for her.
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly felt curious: "When I came here, I didn't know that I would capture Li Shi this time, so I didn't dispatch any troops. Why did your Yan army come?"
Shen Lie softly said "hmm" and did not answer.
"Um?"
Shen Lie walked slowly, and after a while, he said in a calm and calm tone: "I heard in Luxiang Ridge that you were coming to Hejing, so I came here."
"What about your troops and horses?"
"My soldiers and horses..."
The young general, who had led his troops across the country and fought countless battles without losing a single victory, suddenly found that his tongue was tied.
He muttered these words in a low voice and then said nothing again.
Xia Zhaoyi said: "It's not in your plan to deal with Li Qian. So you sent these troops here because of me."
Shen Lie nodded: "Yeah."
"I will protect them," Xia Zhaoyi said seriously, "Since you are here for me, I will try to ensure that there are no casualties."
"No, you have a lot to do these days. I can handle Yan Jun's affairs."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "There is no conflict, there is you and I, we will protect them together."
Shen Lie looked at her deeply and couldn't help but smile: "Okay."
Shen Lie really didn't dare to say those words just now.
When Ping Yuefeng and Xu Li led their troops to Hengxiang, it was his plan.
The soldiers around her are all elites, but her troops are indeed small, and she has no plans to recruit troops.
Shen Lie knew that it was because she didn't like fighting or fighting. Once a war broke out, there would be casualties. It was extremely difficult for her to join the world, and she was not someone who would use the lives of her soldiers to avenge herself. People, even those soldiers who join the army and work hard just to have a bite to eat.
So this "vacancy" was filled by him.
After Lu Xiangling learned that she was going to Hejing, Shen Lie began to mobilize troops.
Whether it is Heng Xiang or He Jing, it is her business whether she wants to use these soldiers and horses. What he has to do is to let her have soldiers available when she needs them.
But when he was asked to say this in front of her, he found that he was timid.
He never thought of himself as a naughty person, but he really couldn't express his feelings calmly. Perhaps it was just like what was said in the poem, the deeper the love, the more reserved and reserved it becomes.
A broad street appeared ahead, and several masters were repairing people's hands. Not far away, there was a small queue of children selling water.
Many people who come to have their hands trimmed have not trimmed their nails for many years in order to work quickly. The gaps between their fingers have become thick and black, and they dare not use scissors to cut them for fear of hurting their flesh.
The boy selling water shouted happily, calling others to buy water.
Shen Lie said: "How will you arrange Hejing from now on?"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled faintly: "There is still something to learn from Li Ju."
"he?"
"For example, poetry and book teaching," Xia Zhaoyi looked at the children, "Look at them, how small they are."
Shen Lie looked at the children. There were five in total, two little girls and three little boys.
Xia Zhaoyi said: "During the national mourning before, I saw many children laughing and chasing each other on the street. Those were five or six-year-old kids. They didn't know what a national mourning was. Even if a patrol passed by and bumped into them. Even if you laugh and laugh, you won’t be too harsh on such a young child. They are just born, just growing up, innocent and lively, and they don’t understand the order of respect and inferiority. But as they grow up, they change.”
Shen Lie said: "Kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to show respect and humiliation is enlightenment."
"Yes, from home to country, from parents to neighbors, this education is everywhere. They follow the established path, step by step, grow up, and get older, and they are slowly cramping themselves throughout their lives. They shed their own blood, assist the superiors in exploiting and cannibalizing themselves, and finally dig a similar path for their children. My master gave me three words back then to make life difficult for the people. After all my lifetimes, I have discovered that the people are not only struggling to have food and clothing. What’s even more difficult is the education that has penetrated into one’s bones. But in fact, it’s all just the words and conspiracies of the superiors to tame all living beings and make them cut their flesh to feed them.”
"Tame, educate..." Shen Lie said, "Actually, Li Ju values literati very much."
Xia Zhaoyi tugged at his lips and smiled: "Well, he killed the scholars back then precisely because he valued them. He was afraid because he valued them, and he killed because he was afraid. Because he knew very well that with his ability, he could basically control If he couldn't understand what those intellectuals were thinking and going, he would drain the firepower and kill them all."
Speaking of this, Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Lie: "Li Zhi can educate, and so can we. The emperors of the past dynasties taught us to kneel three times and kowtow nine times, so we should teach all people to be equal, self-respect, self-love, self-reliance, and self-reliance."
Shen Lie thought of Heng Xiang and said: "When I came to study the world to recruit talented people from all over the world, have you already thought about selecting people from among them, those who are outstanding in literary talent, and those who have similar views to you?"
"It's okay to see things differently, just don't be stubborn and uncivilized. When the time comes, they will write, teach and educate people. One day, there will no longer be people who kneel down in this world. The world is for the common good and all living beings are equal. .Reading must be beneficial.”
Shen Lie's lips curved slightly: "That day may take a long time."
"But on this journey, don't worry about the future. If you and I are no longer here one day, at least we have cultivated fertile land and we are a pioneer camp!"
The deep smile deepened, and the eyes looking at her became solemn.
The white clothes she wore today were really cool, so white that her whole body shone.
But the light in her eyes was even brighter than the white clothes.
Shen Lie's voice suddenly became very soft: "Ah Li."
"Um?"
"When you say we, do you mean you, or do you mean you and me?"
Xia Zhaoyi paused slightly, rarely stunned.
She pointed out that it was naturally him and her, but when Shen Lie suddenly mentioned it, Xia Zhaoyi was shocked to realize that she had never asked Shen Lie what he wanted...
It seemed that in her subconscious mind, he had always been her like-minded confidant or comrade-in-arms. The two of them seemed to have the same beliefs and path forward. But now, Xia Zhaoyi was shocked to discover that although these "seems" were similar to They were entangled together like a sense of fate. In fact, they were all just wishful thinking on her part.
If she directly answered Shen Lie's question that "we" are her and him, then wouldn't it mean that she was forcibly recruiting people into the group without asking the other party's opinion?
At this time, Shen Lie smiled slightly, and his handsome and beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of light from the sky: "Ah Li, if you are referring to me and you, I will be very happy."
Xia Zhaoyi also laughed, with bright eyes: "Really?"
Shen Lie nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him deeply, and suddenly thought of the distant look with him in the courtyard today.
His eyes were always calm and calm. When she was disappointed and sad because of Queen Nangong, his eyes were a firm and indestructible force to her.
Xia Zhaoyi didn't want to say the words she had already said, but she couldn't help it again and said very softly: "Shen Lie, you are so kind."
