Chapter 1 Drum Beat (five beats) Li Mi’s outfit has obviously been carefully organized, and he exudes the aura of a king from top to bottom. He is riding a white dragon colt with no color on the body. He is about three years old.
As clean as the owner, and matching the color of the war horse's coat, is a suit of bright silver soft armor. Each armor leaf has just been wiped. On top of the spotless armor is a silver-edged ear protection helmet with gold threads on both sides.
After the green-green embellished helmet, he wore a white suede silk cloak, which fluttered and swayed as he walked, like a folding lang.
Compared to Li Mi, Xu Zi's dress looks much shabby. He is still wearing the iron black armor that Tang Gong gave him. Many places have been damaged, and the traces of repair are very obvious, especially when Li Mi is seen in the distance.
What became more and more eye-catching than the patches on his armor was the bushy beard on his face and the slightly tired eyebrows under his forehead. He looked like he hadn't washed himself in a few days, and his face showed indescribable fatigue.
The two people slowly approached under the dark clouds. They could see clearly in black and white. Tens of thousands of eyes from both sides fell on them, watching their every move. Suddenly, the eyes of the soldiers became eager, with a bit of appreciation. These appreciations were not given to Xu.
Because his behavior has never been associated with nobility
Under the attention of everyone, Li Mi held his hands in the air and greeted his enemy with a smile: "It's been more than two years since I said goodbye to Li Yang. Is Marquis Weicheng okay?"
Free and easy, noble, and polite, even if the mother-in-law chooses a son-in-law, she can't find any trace of leisure in Li Mi's behavior. This temperament developed over many years has won him the favor of countless heroes, but today some people don't
Recognize the situation, and the words you answer are as cold as ice like the armor on your body.
"Excuse me, Chief Li, I'm thinking about you. As of today, I've been fine!" Li Xu nodded slightly on his horse and said.
"As of today?" Li Mi frowned and quickly returned a bright smile, "Marquis Wei Cheng really knows how to tell jokes. Could it be that Li's appearance makes people feel uncomfortable?"
He could hear the provocative meaning in the other party's words. If he were surrounded by twenty times the enemy's force, he might not be happy. But Li Mi didn't want to worry about these trivial matters. The other party was a rare good general in the world who could conquer him.
, not only can it show Xu Mao’s kindness, but it will also be of great benefit to future great undertakings.
"I am an official of the imperial court, and you are a bandit. When officers and soldiers see a bandit, should they greet them with a smile?" Li Xu's answer was concise and concise. He was originally a glib person, but for some unknown reason, from the moment he met Li Mi,
, and don’t intend to use pretense. The more polite the other party speaks, the less he wants to talk to him in a normal way.
"But Li has never regarded the general as an enemy. On the contrary, he is very eager to make friends with the general." Li Mi's self-restraint skills are very Taoist. No matter how Ren Xuzi opens his mouth to talk about the village leader and shuts up about the bandit, there is no trace of displeasure on his face.
"From the first time I saw you, I wanted to get rid of you quickly." Others threw peaches and plums at you, and Xuzi responded with swords and spears.
Feeling the strong murderous intent in the other party's words, Li Mi smiled and shook his head, "Why did General Li say this? As far as Mi knows, this is just the second time you have met, so how can you become enemies? That day under Liyang City, you and I each
For his master, there are only public grievances and no personal grudges. The same is true today!" After saying this, Li Mi took his mount, turned around and pointed to the hillside to the army behind him. More than 25,000 soldiers were waving flags and shouting, and the noise was instantly suppressed.
Thunder rolling from the sky
As if there was a tacit understanding in advance, Li Xu also took the horse. "It's just a hundred steps away!" He estimated in his mind, looked up at the rolling dark clouds above his head, felt the wind outside the helmet, smiled, and answered
"As the leader of the village said, there is indeed no personal grudge between you and me, but we can't talk about friendship! What on earth did Master Li want to see me for today? Please just tell me that it's going to rain. I and I
Brothers, you have to hurry up and get on your way!"
"This guy is really stubborn!" Seeing that both methods of wooing and threatening had little effect, Li Mi cleared his throat and was about to make a long speech. When it was time to fall out immediately, the brothers under his command had just gone through a forced march.
He needs time to regain his strength and takes this opportunity to show off his magnanimity and eloquence as a master.
"Is it possible that even today, General Li still can't see clearly the situation in the world? The fortune of the Sui Dynasty is at an end, and wars are raging everywhere. Why don't heroes take this moment to serve the Ming Lord and gain fame..."
"I really can't see clearly what the general trend of the world is!" Li Xu suddenly raised his voice, interrupting the other party's chatter. "But it is an axiom from ancient times that officers and soldiers catch thieves!"
"The Sui Dynasty was full of political troubles and burdens, which destroyed the hearts of the people all over the world!" Despite his excellent self-control, Li Mi couldn't hold back his anger and shouted loudly.
"It's not up to you, Li Mi, to tell you how the Sui Dynasty is doing." Seeing that the other party was getting angry, Xu Zi's face became happy. He smiled and reminded lightly: "Master Li, don't forget, you
You were born as Pu Shanggong, and your share of the wealth collected by the imperial court is no less than anyone else!" He pointed at Li Mi's bright clothes and armor, and then pointed at the valuable BMW and horse under his crotch, "If this were not the case,
Where does the money in your hands come from?”
"You!" Li Mi looked back at the brothers behind him, and suddenly felt a little frustrated, "Mi has already spent all his family wealth in order to stabilize the world!"
"Is it to stabilize the world, or to seek more wealth and glory? If Li remembers correctly, the reason why the current situation is so unbearable is precisely because you colluded with the Koreans to rebel!" Xuzi shrugged.
, Xu Maogong's rebellion is like a sword. He can understand Xie Yingdeng joining Wagang, and he can also guess the reason. Only Li Mi will always be a rebel in his heart. No matter how many reasons the other party gives, he can't change his opinion at all.
"If General Li doesn't think about his own future, why don't he think about the brothers behind him!" Li Mi finally gave up his futile persuasion and began to make naked threats.
"What are my brothers thinking? How can you, a bandit, understand!" Li Xu laughed loudly, turning back with unspeakable contempt in his voice. He shouted to Luo Shixin and others: "Brothers, tell Li
Chief of the village, what are we doing here?"
"What else are you doing? Suppress bandits!" Luo Shixin heard Li Xuzuo, a village leader, and another bandit scolding each other in a funny way. He smiled and answered smoothly.
"Suppress the bandits!" "Suppress the bandits!" "Suppress the bandits!" Zhang Jiang, the school lieutenant who had just recovered from his injuries and returned to the army, raised his sword and shouted, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
"Suppress the bandits!" "Suppress the bandits!" "Suppress the bandits!" 1,500 cavalrymen shouted in unison, furious.
The heroes at the foot of the hillside didn't know why, and their positions were in chaos again. They woke up from the shock. They couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, and they cursed back: "Those who don't know life and death, Pu Shanggong, don't pay attention to him.
Let’s see the truth under the knife!”
"When Pu Shanggong comes back, the brothers will kill him with a thousand swords!" Qi Guoyuan hated Li Xu the most, jumping to his feet and shouting
"Did you hear that clearly, Leader Li? The brothers under your command don't seem to want us to be friends!" Amidst the angry eyes, Li Xu asked with a smile. At this moment, he finally felt a little bit better.
For the general's demeanor, calm, calm, unfazed by honor or disgrace
In an instant, Li Mi's face turned completely blue-black, which did not match the silver armor and white robe he was wearing. "In this case, Mi Yi has nothing to say anymore!" He dropped a sentence bitterly and turned it around with all his strength.
horse head
"The battle has begun, hasn't it?" The words with a bit of ridicule came from behind, making Li Mi angry with sparks in his eyes. "This man is simply a scoundrel!" He thought bitterly, "I actually want to fight with a scoundrel.
Make sense! It’s so stupid!”
Anger, regret, hatred and other feelings instantly surged through his body. The only thing he lost was his vigilance towards the enemy. Suddenly, Li Mi realized that the other party's behavior today was a bit strange. "This guy is not a vulgar person," he thought in surprise.
, and then heard a sharp whistling sound in the air
"Mr. Mi, bend down!" At the same time, Wu Heitai shouted in the crowd. Li Mi had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills were naturally good. Hearing the sound, he quickly bent over and pressed his chest firmly against the horse's neck, just under his chin.
The moment it came into contact with the horse's mane, a huge force came from the back, pushing it forward violently, and half of its body fell under the horse.
The frightened Bai Longju neighed sharply, sped up, and rushed towards his own military formation. Poor Li Mi had one foot hanging in the stirrup, and the other half of his body was dragged in the dust. He couldn't stand up even if he wanted to, and couldn't fall down even if he wanted to.
, being dragged by the war horse and scratched on the ground, leaving a bright red mark.
In an instant, everyone on the battlefield was stunned. No one thought that Li Xu's arrow skills were so accurate, and no one thought that the world-famous General Li Lang would actually learn to sneak attack from behind. All the heroes watched Li Mi being dragged to the ground by the white horse.
He groaned and struggled, but couldn't think of a way to rescue him for a while. It wasn't until he saw Xu Zi putting the second arrow on the bow string that he roared and rushed towards Li Mi.
"Thieves, don't hurt my lord!" Wu Heita stepped forward quickly and threw a flying fork in the air. The distance between the two sides was too far. His fork was not thrown at Xuzi, but at the white horse and white dragon colt that was dragging Li Mi wildly.
The person stood up, froze in mid-air for a moment, fell down suddenly, and rolled forward.
"Pa!" The second feather arrow flew past Li Mi's neck, nailing the white robe that was already covered in mud to the ground.
