Liu Jiye sighed and continued: "If my brother-in-law didn't take Miss Li away that day for this reason...then Li Jinchuan agreed to the marriage because he thought it would not damage her mood."
"How do you say this?" Lin Wanzhen asked doubtfully.
"When the Zhe family proposed marriage to the Li family, Li Yiyin did not object at all. He just asked me to surrender to him. At that time, the Khitans were marching south to the Central Plains, and the Zhe family did not want to see the Khitans burning, killing, and looting.
To make the people suffer is to raise troops to drive away the Khitans. Naturally, I will not surrender to Li Yiyin, who supports his troops and respects himself, regardless of the life and death of the people in the Central Plains..."
"So Li Yiyin immediately opposed the marriage. At that time, Miss Li had the idea of asking her brother-in-law to take her away from Yinzhou. But his brother-in-law was afraid that this would give Li Yiyin an excuse to send troops to Fuzhou to cause suffering to the people, so he did not dare to take her with him.
She left..."
Zhe Yuxun continued: "Then Li Jinchuan used this incident to provoke his daughter, saying that the Zhe family gave birth to a good son who could sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of the people's safety... Then Li's mother also started crying, saying,
I gave birth to an unfilial daughter who would not share her worries with her parents, and even said things like life or death for being shameless..."
"I think it was the words of Mr. and Mrs. Li Jinchuan that made Miss Li feel emotional. In addition, my uncle failed to meet her as promised in Zhongqiu that year... but it made her agree to marry Ji Buzhi."
Zhe Yuxun paused for a moment, shook his head and said: "After listening to the innkeeper's wife's story, my uncle didn't say anything, but he drank several jars of strong wine alone. When it dawned the next day, I found that my uncle was
Uncle has left..."
"But I guessed that he must have gone to Liangzhou to visit Miss Li. I was worried that my brother-in-law would make mistakes in his grief, so I looked for him all the way to the west. Unfortunately, my cultivation level is not high and I am not familiar with the path, but I haven't found it yet.
I can catch him on the way."
"When I arrived in Liangzhou, I asked a passerby to inquire... and I found out that Jie Buzhi was now the governor of Liangzhou. Then I went to the governor's house and hid in the dark until the next day.
At that time, my uncle was nowhere to be seen."
"Being suspicious, I found a party member in the city and spent some money to ask him to help find out what was going on in the governor's office these days... but I heard that the night before I came to Liangzhou,
An assassin was captured in the governor's house, but the person couldn't find out who the assassin looked like or where he was being held."
"I guess my uncle had an accident. He knew that his martial arts skills were low, so he rushed back to Fuzhou to report the matter to my father. My father knew a party member in Liangzhou City, so he wrote a letter to let two military officers
The two priests took him to him to find out about the assassin."
"A day after the two worshipers left, someone brought a souvenir from Xibu Gezhi, saying that to rescue my uncle, he needed ten thousand shi of military rations, three thousand kilograms of tea, and five thousand taels of silver.
Only limited to two months..."
"My father thought about it and guessed the reason why Li Yiyin married his niece to Xi Buzhi. There must be a hidden clue planted by Li Yiyin around Xi Buzhi. When he learned that his uncle had been captured, Li Yiyin would definitely make people
Inciting the analysis of expenditures to set these conditions..."
Luo Xiaoyao wondered: "My benefactor is saying that these terms of exchange for brother Zhe's military rations, tea, and silver... were Li Yiyin secretly asking someone to ask Xi Buzhi to propose it?"
"That's right. The Analytical Bu Zhi was disobedient to the control of the Central Plains court. When the Hexi Jiedu envoy Shen Shihou fled back to Kaifeng, he ordered his son Shen Wanlin to stay in Liangzhou, but this Shen Wanlin was killed by the Analytical Bu Zhi envoy...
And Li Yiyin knew that his brother-in-law and his niece had a deep friendship and would definitely go to Liangzhou one day, so he wanted to stir up trouble so that he could have an excuse to seize Liangzhou."
"My brother-in-law is a good son of my family, and he was deeply loved by my grandfather. If my uncle had gone to Liangzhou and been captured before my grandfather died of illness, my grandfather would have sent people to ask for his release... Then
After analyzing that Bu Zhi killed Shen Wanlin, he will not give face to the Zhongyuan court, and he will definitely not let my uncle go easily."
"At that time, my grandfather thought that he would use troops to rescue his brother-in-law, so he would tell the Holy One about it. The Holy One also thought highly of my brother-in-law, but knowing that Ana Buzhi had a rebellious heart, he would definitely agree to use the army.
Li Yiyin will take the opportunity to offer his advice, and he will lead his troops to capture Liangzhou..."
"It sounds like Shen Wanlin was killed, or it was because Li Yiyin secretly instigated the analysis of Bu Zhi..." Lin Wan said in truth.
"My father thinks the same way." Zhe Yuxun nodded, paused, and then said: "Your Majesty's thoughts are for the neighboring countries. Even if he knew that Li Yiyin had the ambition to take charge of Xiliang, he would definitely agree if it was expedient.
Li Yiyin went to attack Liangzhou... The same is true now. If he knew that his uncle was captured and the Holy One was devoting all his troops to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Yiyin would definitely have issued an order to attack Xibuzhi with him without Li Yiyin opening his mouth."
"And Liangzhou is located in a strategic area. If Li Yiyin captures it, he will be as powerful as a tiger. Xilianggan and Shazhou have long been out of the control of the imperial court. My father suspected that Li Yiyin planned to capture Liangzhou to use troops to capture the states in the future.
If the entire Hexi area is controlled by Li Yiyin, it will be difficult to contain him."
When Luo Xiaoyao was in Fuzhou that day, he heard from Zhe De that Li Yi Yin was self-respecting and had evil intentions. Although he was not familiar with court affairs, he also knew that if Li Yi Yin became powerful, it would be detrimental to Guo Rong.
He said casually: "Even if I can raise military rations, tea, and silver to send to Liangzhou, I don't think I will let him go..."
"So my father thought that the best thing to do was to secretly go to the prison to rescue my uncle... And the two military ministers who went to inquire came back and told him that there were two masters of Mingqiao Realm accompanying Analyst Bu, and my father
Afraid of not having enough manpower, I was asked to find my brother-in-law and lead others to rescue my uncle."
"What level of Mingqiao realm are those two masters at?"
"I heard from the two worshipers that they are both monks. One of them is at the top of Mingqiao Mountain, and the other is at the mountainside level of Mingqiao..."
Luo Xiaoyao saw that Liu Jiye was only in the Realm of Returning Realm, and the three priests who were accompanying him were only in Divine Mind cultivation. As far as he knew, there was only one priest in the Fuzhou Army who had a small cultivation level in Baodan. Even if they were together
Going to Liangzhou, there is no way he can match someone from the Mingqiao Mountain Peak Realm who is quite accomplished in elixirs, not to mention that there must be many guards with extraordinary skills around Ji Buzhi.
Judging from Zhe Yuxun's eagerness to tell him the matter, he must be hoping that he can help. Thinking of this, he looked at Mu Daocheng and said, "Master, I was saved by Brother Zhe that day, and now is the time to repay the favor...
…”
Mu Daocheng didn't wait for him to finish what he said, and interrupted: "A man has clear grudges. You should go and rescue him to return the favor..."
Lin Wan was really happy and worried at the same time. She admired Zhe Deshou very much in her heart and treated him like her own brother. When she heard that Zhe Deshou was in trouble, she naturally wanted to rescue him. When she was on Moforget Island that day
, I had seen Mu Daocheng blame Luo Xiaoyao for Xiao Muyun's revenge and betrayal of Deshou, but I was afraid that Mu Daocheng would not agree, so I felt happy when I heard this.
But he also knew where Xiao Muyun's heart was, but he thought that Xiao Yanbei's death was related to Zhe Deshou after all. As a son of a man, instead of facing hatred, he had to rescue the person who hurt his father. It was impossible for him to do it himself.
Worried that Xiao Muyun would object to going and put Luo Xiaoyao in trouble.
At this time, Xiao Muyun stood up and looked at Mu Daocheng, "Master, let's go south first."
As soon as he finished speaking, without speaking to Luo Xiaoyao, he turned around and walked out of the house. Hearing Mu Daocheng laugh, he stood up and walked towards Xiao Muyun. In an instant, the two of them left the house.
Everyone was in shock and doubt for a moment, Luo Xiaoyao and Lin Wanzhen both sighed in their hearts. Luo Xiaoyao knew that Xiao Muyun had not let go of Xiao Yanbei's death, but thinking that she had not stopped him from going, he felt confident and hoped.
Looking at Zhao Yinshan, he said: "Uncle Master, are you going south?"
Zhao Yinshan laughed and said, "Are you afraid that your uncle's presence will drag you down?" The implication was that he wanted to go to Liangzhou with Luo Xiaoyao.
Luo Xiaoyao secretly guessed that if Yuxun was defeated, Liu Jiye would definitely know the underlying reason for Xiao Yanbei's death. When they were introduced, they only addressed each other as master, master uncle, and junior brother. The reason why Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen were referred to as "junior brother" was that since
It's because both of them were dressed in men's clothing at this time.
When Xiao Muyun finished speaking, a female voice came out, and she turned around and left without saying a word. At this time, Zhe Yuxun and Liu Jiye, who had come back to their senses, guessed her identity. Zhe Yuxun looked guilty and said, "I know
Mr. Luo was in friendship with his uncle, and he told the truth that he was in danger. He wanted Mr. Luo to help him, but he had no intention of repaying the favor, but he did not expect that the junior sister would be... Oh, I hope Mr. Luo will forgive me."
Luo Xiaoyao shook his head when he heard this and said: "Now my benefactor meets with me. If I don't tell him, if Brother Zhe makes a mistake because of this, it will make my life uneasy. My benefactor did this in an upright and aboveboard manner, and he never looked down upon anything lower than
I……"
"It's human nature for junior sister to be troubled, but she never stopped me from going to rescue Brother Zhe. But as my senior said, it's because of clear grudges... Don't take it to heart."
Liu Jiye nodded, "My uncle is very lucky to have you as his friend."
Luo Xiaoyao sighed, stood up, came to the courtyard, and said to the two arrow guards who were accompanying him: "I have important matters to go to Liangzhou and my party. The reason must be informed by my master's guild and my master. You two
Just go back to the island first..."
It turned out that Chu Nanfeng specially sent two arrow guards to Mingyue Villa for the convenience of communication. They were originally going to follow everyone all the way back to the island. Now Luo Xiaoyao had something to do, so he naturally sent them back first.
When the two arrow guards saw Mu Daocheng and Xiao Muyun suddenly leaving, they were already shocked and suspicious. Then they heard Luo Xiaoyao order them to return to Moforget Island. They looked at each other for a while and did not dare to obey the order. They repeated the order to Zhao Yinshan before resigning.
Leave.
When the Arrow Guards left, everyone also left Wubao and went to Fuzhou. Zhe De Shou did not expect Luo Xiaoyao to come. He also knew from Zhe De Shou's mouth that Luo Xiaoyao had extraordinary skills, so he was greatly surprised.
Welcoming Luo Xiaoyao and others into the hall, they discussed the manpower to go to Liangzhou to rescue Zhe Deshou. After some discussion, it was decided that in addition to Luo Xiaoyao, Liu Jiye and others, they would also bring the only one from Fuzhou with them.
The surnamed Han, who has attained Dan Xiaocheng cultivation level, is worshiped, together with two masters of spiritual consciousness and twenty capable guards.
Zhe De Shou acted carefully and had already obtained a rough topographic map of Liangzhou City. Although they did not know where Zhe De Shou was imprisoned, everyone planned to move forward and retreat according to the map. Once the method was decided, a group of thirty people went there.
He galloped westward and arrived at Liangzhou City four days later.
During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, Tubo took the opportunity to advance eastward and occupied a large area of Hexi. Later, Tubo was in civil strife. The land in Hexi was once recovered by the Tang Dynasty. However, after Huang Chao's rebellion, the world was in chaos, and the land in Hexi was for the Uighurs, Dangxiang and Tubo people.
Divide and occupy.
Although Liangzhou City has experienced several wars, it is located in a strategic location in the Hexi metropolis. There are many business travelers and there are many inns in the city. Luo Xiaoyao and others were worried that the large number of people would be suspicious, so they searched for a man in a bustling downtown area in the city.
We stayed at three inns not far from each other.
It was early autumn, and we were located in the west of Hexi. Night fell nearly an hour later than in the Central Plains. After Luo Xiaoyao and others had dinner in Xushi, they discussed what to do in the room.
Looking at the map on the desk, Liu Jiye said: "There are many powerful people in Liangzhou, and there are many people with dungeons in their houses. Liu thought... that the support was due to the fact that I will come to rescue people later.
I don’t think my brother-in-law will be imprisoned in a government office."
Luo Xiaoyao nodded, "Lord Zhe once ordered us to go to the city to find his Dangxiang clan members. But people's hearts are unpredictable, so we can't ask them to find out where Brother Zhe is being held... The only feasible solution right now is
Sneak into the Governor's Mansion to find Miss Li and inquire about her."
Zhe Deke was from Dangxiang, and there were certainly people he knew among the Dangxiang people living in the city. The maps in their hands were obtained from his acquaintances when he first sent people to Liangzhou.
When discussing in Fuzhou, Luo Xiaoyao thought that he would not accept the fate of the foreign emperor, so he did not oppose Zhe De's suggestion. However, he had gone through many dangers in the world and had an understanding of the unfathomable nature of people's hearts, so he came to Liangzhou.
, but express what is on your mind.
"This young lady from the Li family has a deep love for Brother Zhe, so she will definitely try to rescue him. After dark, I will sneak into the governor's house to inquire with her..."
Among all the people, Luo Xiaoyao was the only one who had great skill in holding pills. He could send and receive Qi freely. However, there was a master of the Mingqiao Mountain Peak level beside him. Only Luo Xiaoyao could sneak in and not be easily noticed. Liu Jiye and Han Gongfeng knew this.
What he said made sense, and they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Just in case, my uncle, Mr. Han, and my junior sister can secretly stay outside the house to provide support." Luo Xiaoyao acted cautiously now and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Zhao Yinshan didn't know how many times he had been put in danger, and now he was no longer the simple and kind-hearted young man he had been before. However, he was surprised to hear that he was well-organized, and he nodded and said, "Okay, just like Xiaoyao has arranged, Mr. Han and I will...
Wan Zhen is outside to provide support."
Luo Xiaoyao looked at Liu Jiye, "I'm not familiar with Miss Li, but I'm afraid she won't believe that I'm here to save my eldest brother. But my benefactor has something in his hand that can make her believe..."
Liu Jiye smiled, "I am just as unfamiliar with her as the young master... Outsiders know very little about my uncle's birth date. I think the Miss Li family will know it. I will tell the young master about it. Then I will only tell my uncle."
I think Miss Li will believe it when it comes to birth dates."
Luo Xiaoyao nodded and wrote down the birth date of Zhe De Shou as told by Liu Jiye. When it got dark at 3:00 pm, he went to the Governor's Mansion with Zhao Yinshan and others.
When Luo Dai arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Luo Xiaoyao sneaked in from the east wall of the backyard and hid under a locust tree in the back garden to peek. He saw a bright lantern on the corridor of the back building six or seven feet away.
There were two maids standing in front of the door, but the doors of the five wing rooms were closed and there were no lights in the rooms.
But thinking that Li Minxue lived in the back building, he guessed that he had gone elsewhere in the house. Looking at the lush locust tree, Luo Xiaoyao thought, and jumped up into the branches to hide among the leaves.
After half a cup of tea, I saw a figure jumping from the west courtyard wall. It was a man in black with a veil. I saw the man in black walking quickly up the corridor at the back, but he directly opened the door.
Entering the hall, the maid standing on the corridor walked in immediately, and soon the lights came on in the room.
Luo Xiaoyao was astonished and realized something again, and he hurriedly performed the 'Ping Long Recognition' exercise to hold his breath and calm down. It turned out that at this time, two people were walking one behind the other from the vestibule, looking through the light of the stone lantern in the garden.
, seeing walking in front was a handsome man in his thirties wearing a brimmed hat, a round-collar brocade robe, and a high nose, followed by a Buddhist monk in his fifties, Luo Xiaoyao was suddenly shocked.
.
He was currently in the realm of Baodan Dacheng, but he realized that the monk had cultivated at the top of Mingqiao Mountain, and had practiced the unbreakable skill with the physical body. However, he remembered that when Mingwu was in Xizhou that day, he had the unbreakable skill with the physical body.
Fa was in an invincible position against Chu Nanfeng, and he was naturally shocked. Seeing the situation of the monk accompanying and protecting the man in brocade robes, he also suspected that this man might be the governor of Zhebuzhi.
I saw the man in brocade robe walking straight into the hall, but the monk was standing on the corridor in front of the house. After a few breaths, I heard a female voice coming from inside the house, "You two, please retreat first..."
Then I saw the two maids who had just entered the house, walking out of the hall and heading to the front courtyard. I heard a man's voice again, "Where did you go, madam? Did you go to see Nazhe Deshou?"
Luo Xiaoyao was overjoyed and immediately concluded that the man in brocade robes who had just entered the room was for Zhe Buzhi, and the lady he was talking about was undoubtedly Li Minxue. Listening to Zhe Buzhi's tone, he guessed that the man in black he just saw was Li Minxue
, thinking that she secretly sneaked out of the house to visit Zhe Deshou. As soon as she came back, Zhe Buzhi came to the back room to question him.
"You promised me that you wouldn't hurt Brother Zhe, but why did you do this? You cut off the tendons and disabled his legs..." Li Minxue said in a trembling voice.
Luo Xiaoyao was suddenly startled, and heard Zhe Buzhi sneer: "Hey, I promised you not to hurt his life, but I didn't promise you not to break his legs. I'm afraid of him if I cripple his legs."
Come and harass Madam again in the future."
"You...brother Zhe just haven't seen me for several years and came to visit..."
Zhe Buzhi asserted: "Come to visit? Haha... If you didn't have bad intentions, why did you break into my house in the middle of the night? If Master Basang hadn't noticed, hey, I'm afraid you would have left with him overnight."
"I had a relationship with Brother Zhe, but after I married you... I gave birth to Shu'er, but I also stopped thinking about getting along with Brother Zhe. Brother Zhe is an upright person. As long as I explain my feelings to him, he will also be free in the future.
I won’t be looking for you…”
"You have been married to me for half a year and refused to consummate your marriage with me. If I hadn't forced you by threatening to send troops to attack Xiazhou, would you have had sex with me?"
"you……"
"I told you where he was imprisoned just to see if you were still in love with him... and sure enough, you still sneaked in to visit." Zhe Buzhi sneered, "Don't you think about it... With your mere Guyuan kid?
With such great skill, how could it be so easy to avoid the eyes and ears of the guards and enter the dungeon to see Zhe De Shou?"
"Did you do it on purpose?"
"Yes, I want to see if you have really broken off the friendship with him. Looking at your heartbroken state now...it seems that you are still in love with him."
"But seeing you look so heartbroken, I feel so happy in my heart, hahahaha, you know... When you forced me with your life and refused to consummate the marriage with me, I was thinking about how to end up in the situation today, haha
…”
"You, you... you wrote a letter to the Zhe family, saying that you only need to raise military rations, tea, and silver to redeem it, and you will not hurt the elder brother in the slightest. Now you are hurting him like this... When the people of the Zhe family come to redeem it, how will you explain it?
"
"No matter whether the people of the Zhe family bring military rations, tea, and silver to redeem them, the day they meet me... will be the day when Zhe De Shou dies."
Luo Xiaoyao, who was hiding in the tree, was shocked when he heard this. Fortunately, he had practiced the 'Ping Long Recognition' technique, and his breathing could be mixed with the breeze. If not, he might have been noticed by the monk named Basang.
"Ah?!" Li Minxue exclaimed.
"Don't blame me for this, hahahaha, this is what your uncle Li Yiyin meant..."
"This, this is impossible...How could uncle think like this?"
"Why not? He betrothed you to me just for this day."
"W-why is this?"
"Your uncle wants to seize the land of Liangzhou. Unfortunately, Liangzhou is nominally the territory of the Central Plains Court. He has no reason to attack. Now he wants to use my hand to provoke the Zhe family to seek revenge on me... Hehe, like me
It's not bad as expected, but if Zhe De Shou dies and Zhe's family remains intact, he will tell the Emperor of Zhou and request to send troops to attack Liangzhou."
"On that day, Shen Wanlin, who was staying in Liangzhou, was killed by me. The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty thought that he had the intention to attack Liangzhou, but he was busy fighting the Northern Han Dynasty and recovering the Qin, Feng and other states occupied by the Shu Kingdom, but he had no intention of attacking Yu.
I."
"The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to Zhe De Shou. Unlike Na Shen Wanlin, he would be furious when he heard the news. Now he is tired of his troops in the south of the Yangtze River. But if your uncle requests to attack Liangzhou, I think he will agree immediately..."
"How do you know that the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty thinks highly of his eldest brother?" Li Minxue asked doubtfully: "Could it be the uncle who told you..."
"Not bad, haha..."
"Then you know the uncle's intentions, why do you dare to kill the elder brother... to give him an excuse to attack Liangzhou?"
Zhe Buzhi laughed loudly, "Li Yiyin deceived my ignorance, planted insiders around me, and lured me to kill Zhe De Shou. He wanted the Emperor of the Central Plains to support him in attacking me. Hehe, I wanted to prevent him from doing so... from now on.
Dare to seize the heart of Liangzhou again."
"How...how are you doing?" Li Minxue asked doubtfully.
"I have arrested the insider who planted him beside me, and found out the letter in which he asked the insider to instigate me to kill Zhe De Shou," Zhe Buzhi said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will kill Zhe De Shou, and then I will kill him."
Take out your uncle's letter and give it to the family members..."
