Chapter 1 Thunder (six times) Mingwei General Cui Qian was practicing troops with several captains at the bottom of the valley. Hearing the general's summons, he hurried up the mountain. "Why did the general call me? Has the battle situation ahead changed?" Far away?
On the ground, he greeted Li Xu warmly, but suddenly he realized that Zhou Daniu had been following him unhurriedly. He was stunned, took off the horizontal knife from his waist, turned around and handed it into the opponent's hand.
"Don't worry about these false etiquettes when you retreat!" Li Xu shook his head and ordered with a wry smile.
"In front of the general, Cui had better pay attention to the rules!" Cui Qian smiled bitterly and slowly approached, "Besides, with the general's skills, it makes no difference whether he wears this sword or not!"
Zhou Daniu snorted, which was considered as a response to Cui Qian. He was kind to others but repaid them with evil. He despised this kind of person the most, so he was unwilling to show any mercy to the other person.
"The two generals have something to do. Please resign first!" Zhao Ziming bowed his hands to Li Xu and turned away. He didn't want to see what was about to happen, although he already knew all the endings at the moment the Fenyang army entered the mountain.
Ming honestly speaking, General Mingwei Cui Qian is a good boss, he is humble, broad-minded, and handles things in an orderly manner. But this man should not have been born in the Boling Cui family. For the sake of the family's interests, he did not have any choice.
The opposite of the general
"I'll be waiting on the mountainside! The general can call you anytime if you need anything!" Seeing Zhao Ziming leaving, Zhou Daniu also stopped knowingly. Holding Cui Qian's horizontal sword in his hand, he led more than fifty guards to quietly form a circle on the hillside.
If someone tries to get close to Li Xu, they must first pass him.
The atmosphere under the ancient pine tree suddenly became a little awkward. Although everyone had a smile on their face, the mountain wind suddenly became biting and slightly earthy. At the junction of the sky and the earth in the distance, there were several dark clouds.
It was surging into the mid-air. "I think something has changed behind the scenes!" After seeing everyone's performance, Cui Qian sighed and asked miserably.
"Both the prefects of Shanggu and Boling counties have retired and returned to their hometowns!" Li Xu hesitated and answered truthfully. He himself didn't want to see things come to this point, but he had to face it because it was so important.
The lives and deaths of countless people
A look of surprise flashed in Cui Qian's eyes. Almost out of instinct, he reached his hands to his waist. But in the next moment, he stopped the useless struggle. "In this case, Cui should congratulate you!" Cui Qian's face
The smile on his face was very bitter, but at the same time, it had an indescribable sense of relief.
"The Boling Cui family was not involved." Li Xu raised the letter in his hand and did not feel any joy of victory in his heart. "On the contrary, before the two prefects retired, they had already sent people to my home to express that everything was mine.
Follow the horse’s lead”
"They have always been quick to see opportunities, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted for hundreds of years." Cui Qian had a very handsome face, and there was a strong bookish air in his every move. If it hadn't been for a newly healed scar under his neck, it would have destroyed it.
With his harmonious smile, this person feels more like a learned scholar than a general capable of fighting.
He stretched out his hand to lift up his leggings and skirt, and sat down on the stone where Zhao Ziming had sat before. There was no trace of panic on his face that the conspiracy had been exposed, only endless loneliness.
"Continuing for hundreds of years, there is indeed a reason to last for hundreds of years!" Li Xu sighed with Cui Qian, and slowly sat opposite the chess title. In the letter sent by Lu Qin, the Boling Cui family not only expressed
Loyal to Li Xu, and took the initiative to draw a clear line with Cui Qian
"How do the Boling Cui family explain their relationship with me? Is it because they are unfilial and rebellious, or because they are reckless? It's true that I was confused for a moment and has nothing to do with the Boling Cui family!" Cui Qian picked up a particle from the chessboard and lightly
He was gently thrown into the wooden box next to him. Now, he has become the abandoned son of the family. How Li Xu handles him has nothing to do with the Cui family. It will not worsen the relationship between the two parties, nor will it affect the future cooperation between the two parties.
"I would rather believe that this strategy is entirely due to the Cui family, and retreating is a must!" Li Xu lowered his head and picked the black stones on the chess scale into the chess box one by one. "Retreating is not an ambitious person, I feel a
It’s clear!” He smiled bitterly, regret welling up in his heart.
"Who put me in the right position to replace you!" Cui Qian stretched out and sighed up to the sky, "After driving you away, the Fenyang Army will be in my hands. No matter how chaotic the world outside is, Cui, Li, Wang, Zhang,
Zhao, our family will be protected and safe!"
"Fortunately, you didn't intend to let me die in battle!"
"If necessary, I will not show mercy. Do you still remember what Zhang Jincheng said that day? These are troubled times, kill or be killed." Cui Qian lowered his head and helped Li Xu clean up the chessboard.
At that time, Zhang Jinsheng was just a timid businessman who was bullied by officials, but in the end he became a murderous bandit leader. The reason why he was angry with Sun Jiu was not because of any deep hatred between the two parties, but because
Sun Jiu also had the ability to kill him and annihilate his tribe. Before he decided to attack Sun Jiu, he might not have struggled deep in his heart, but after struggling, he still made the most ruthless choice.
Heaven and earth are a furnace, and the people inside may not be able to grasp what they will be like.
"What a pity Zhang Ji, I shouldn't have promised him to stay in the army!"
"His understanding of the world is still the same as before leaving the fortress, so of course there is no way to survive!" Cui Qian, who had given up the struggle, was extremely calm. "But you have such a temper that you must change Zhang Ji's last wish, which you satisfy, but you don't know what will happen to you in the future.
How much trouble will he cause if Zhang Jincheng makes a comeback in the future..."
"Then I will defeat him again, and then catch him and kill him!" Li Xu took out two black stones from the packed chess box and placed them on the chessboard one by one. According to the rules of Go, the white player goes first, but he
I don't want to follow "Zhang Ji is our own brother. He exchanged his own life for the lives of his family. I have to agree. But Zhang Jin said that there will be no second chance. If he just stops working and finds a place to live in peace with no one,
If he has the ability to make a comeback, I will leave him with nothing to keep."
Cui Qian was stunned again. He could still feel the strong confidence emanating from the opponent through a piece of chess title. "You are not the Zhong Jian you were back then! I'm so stupid!" He slapped himself in the face, then picked up two pellets.
The white stone is placed on the chessboard, facing the black stone.
"I have suffered so many losses! I will always learn something!" Li Xu responded with a smile, making every move like the wind.
"Indeed, you have always learned things quickly!" Cui Qian praised in a low voice. Playing against each other, everything is like chess. It's a pity that he can't review the game. If he could do it over again, he doesn't think he would lose as miserably as he did today.
"You also said that these are troubled times and I don't want to die in confusion, so I have to study harder!" Li Xu grinned and gave the other party a ridiculous answer. After experiencing so many turmoils, if his mind is still the same as before
To put it simply, he has died countless times, but he is still alive, and his career is getting bigger and bigger.
It's not that he doesn't know how to use some methods, but he is unwilling and disdainful to use them. But if the danger has affected the things he protects, he will not hesitate to use all his killing moves.
Several sunspots fell quickly, from the corners to the middle of the belly. Cui Qian was so aggressive that he was tired of parrying them. After a few sunspots were full of flaws and he managed to cope with them, he asked unwillingly: "When did you find out about it?"
"From the moment you expressed your intention to leave Xiongwu Camp and start working under my command!" Li Xu took another step forward and made no secret, "The Yuwen family treats you well and although his family's power has been temporarily affected,
These blows are far stronger than a general like me who has no foundation. A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Since your Cui family chooses people to rely on, you will not abandon the Yuwen family and take me!"
"Then you still recommend me as your general and let me be your arm?" Cui Qian hit the chess title hard and asked with his eyes wide open. He realized that he had made too many mistakes. If the facts were as Li Xu said,
If he said that, even if he had a second chance, he would still lose cleanly like this game of chess before him.
Three years ago, Li Xu was ignorant of the ways of the world, and he could guess the other person's thoughts very clearly. But today, Li Xu could see him clearly, but he had no idea how many tricks the other party held in his hands.
It would be strange not to lose when you meet such an opponent!
"Before the army entered the mountain, didn't you do a good job? You helped me solve many problems and gave me many good ideas! Besides, your Cui family has a huge influence in Boling. As long as your Cui family is willing to obey my orders, even if
It's just hypocrisy. Others have to follow so many favorable conditions, why don't I?" Li Xu smiled, showing his white teeth.
"No more games. Cui is convinced that he lost!" Cui Qian pushed his chess piece forward and stood up with a big smile. "I don't feel sorry for losing to you at all. The scenery here is so beautiful that it is worthy of burying one's bones!"
He raised his head and looked at the turbulent sky that had begun to darken. A heavy rain was coming. I hope that after the rain, the world would be washed away a little bit.
"I haven't thought of a reason to kill you!" Xuzi sighed, stood up, and stood side by side with Cui Qian. Does all this have to be solved by killing Lai? He thought of Sun Jiu, Zhang Jincheng, and Wagang
In the army, the battle flag with the word "Xu" raised high
"If it were me, I would never show mercy to you." Cui Qian turned around in surprise and looked at Xu Zi again, with a rare hint of true love in his eyes. "You can repay me for losing the battle at the hands of bandits! Over the past hundreds of years, many people have
This is what heroes do." He forced himself to keep smiling and gave the other party the last good idea.
"Just because your position is just right to threaten me, right?" Li Xu stared at the opponent's eyes, his eyes still as clear as water. Killing is someone else's solution, not his. "Shanggu County lacks a county guard and has no military power."
Civil servants pose no threat to me. With your current position and the power of the Bolingcui family, it will not be difficult to move to this position with some money. We didn’t have many brothers back then. I don’t want anyone to die at the hands of my brothers.
!”
After that, he left the stunned Cui Qian behind, turned around and strode down the hillside.
