The snow was knee-deep and the mountain road was difficult to travel. Chang Yu and Li Yan, a dozen or so people, did not climb to the top of the mountain, but climbed to the cliff behind the temple. The attendants hurriedly built a simple shelter under a tree.
The two of them looked into the distance under the tree. In the snowy eyes, they could vaguely see the outline of Linfen County (the seat of Pingyang Prefecture), but the temple at their feet could be seen clearly. In one yard, Qing Yi and Wang Zhengnan were drawing something.
"That Taoist nun..." Li Yan looked confused and couldn't help but be curious. When Qing Yi went up the mountain yesterday, she was wrapped tightly. He thought she was just a maid. Now he was surprised when he saw the dress, but he also knew that there were strange people around Chang Yu, such as that
Li Muxian looks like a charlatan, but he is actually a master of the game.
"There is a wonderful rejuvenation technique," Chang Yu said casually, and Li Yan said, "It is really rare for such a young person to have such medical skills. Could it be that he is from a famous family?"
often
It’s true that a master can emerge, but in the past... Hehe, our family was also a frog in the well."
Li Yan laughed and said: "The Governor is so emotional, maybe he has encountered some strange encounter."
"You may not believe it..." Chang Yu then told what happened when he met an old Taoist from Hengshan and Qing Yi who had strange skills but didn't know it. Li Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this: "In the past, I used to travel around the world, but I only heard that there was an expert who hid in the world.
But I regret that I have never met him before, and I never thought that the governor would have such a wonderful fate. Not to mention the Taoist monk, Master Qingyi is also an unborn master."
"Maybe, or maybe she's just an ordinary Taoist nun." Chang Yu nodded slightly.
"There are many masters in this world, but you are the rare ones." A voice floated from behind. The surrounding guards subconsciously drew their swords to protect Chang Yu and Li Yan, and a figure jumped out from the bushes on the slope.
It is indeed pure.
"There are people in this world who love money, some who are lustful, some who like wine, some who are famous, some who like to practice calligraphy and some who like to practice martial arts. Everyone has their own hobbies. If you indulge in these hobbies throughout your life, you will always achieve something, and you will become you.
You're a master!" Su Jing walked up to Chang Yu and looked at Qing Yi in the temple and said calmly, and in a rare gesture, she nodded slightly to Li Yan as a greeting.
Li Yan also nodded: "Master Sujing."
"Su Jing's words make sense." Chang Yu hummed: "Choose a path, choose a skill, and practice intensively. Even if you don't have talent, you will still have some success. Your master may not be an expert, but he is also a strange person, and you are also a strange person." Su Jing left.
He curled his lips and said, "The words you talk about about being an expert or a strange person are probably not good words to praise others."
"I'm complimenting you." Chang Yu laughed and said, "The injury has healed? You're still jumping up and down on a snowy day..."
"You are also a strange person, and your blood is very strange. In the past, it took three months to recover from this injury, but after drinking your blood... shouldn't I stretch my body?" Su Jin's casual words made Li Yan stunned.
, actually drank the blood of the great eunuch?
"What the Governor said, I also believe that it is true. Master Su Jing's self-lighting skills are amazing. I have never heard of this before. He is really a strange and expert person!" Li Yan said sincerely, Su Jing could not hide his joy: "General Li also
Come to make fun of people."
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Li Yan said quickly.
"I saw you chanting sutras this morning. Are you going to put down the butcher's knife?" Chang Yu asked, changing the topic and looking at Su Jing.
"Do you think you can really become a Buddha immediately if you put down the butcher's knife?" Su Jing asked, looking at Chang Yu and then at Li Yan.
Chang Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, while Li Yan said: "The Buddha said so, maybe it can be done."
"In this case, when I put down the butcher knife, I become a Buddha, and when I pick up the knife, I become a devil. Whether I am a Buddha or a devil, I can decide whether I am a Buddha or a devil. I can become a Buddha or a devil as I wish." As he spoke, he jumped down the cliff, and everyone couldn't help but
When he exclaimed, he saw that she had landed on the temple and slid down to the ground smoothly. The whole process was done smoothly and smoothly. It was such a handsome stroke that Li Yan couldn't help but touch his palms and said, "It's amazing."
"This girl is neither a Buddha nor a devil, she is crazy." Chang Yu shook his head angrily, he was desperate!
Li Yan was still not satisfied with the amazing skills and asked curiously: "How does Master Sujing's body-lighting technique compare to Jiang Ba's style?" He knew that there was a great master Jiang Fa beside Chang Yu. Although he was small and thin, his internal strength and body-lighting techniques were also astonishing.
"Each one has his own strengths. Jiang Bashi is good at running on the road, Su Jing is good at maneuvering."
"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers under the command of the governor, and all the masters in the world have fallen into the trap." Li Yan sighed with emotion, while Chang Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are so many masters in the world, and there are so many capable people, how can I accept them all? Chi Qingshi, the archery master of Li Guo, can reach the gods."
, and the unknown killer who follows him like a shadow..."
Li Yan smiled and said: "There is always a time to catch them all. I heard that the Governor recruited a few good players in the capital a few days ago. Can you introduce them to me?" Although Li Yan was a scholar, he had martial arts and had traveled around the world, so he was very familiar with some martial arts.
Strong people have a love for friendship.
"I was about to mention this matter to the general. We discussed military affairs last night and didn't have time to mention personal matters. Today we will have a good chat and listen to the general's suggestions." Chang Yu smiled faintly, and Li Yan quickly said: "General, I am all ears."
"The intruders have been secretly sending people to assassinate the governor. General Li must know about it."
Li Yan had a helpless smile on his face: "Although I don't know, I can guess that there are too many people who want to kill the Governor. All forces are trying to kill him openly or covertly. As the biggest force, the bandits should not be idle."
.
"More than ready to move, more than idle, the governor has been here in the capital, and he has done it three or four times, and there are many big scenes." Chang Yu explained in detail the assassination incident along the way, Li Yan said
He was very frightened, thinking that this was no longer a simple assassination of Chang Yu himself. If the prince made a mistake, the consequences... I can't imagine it.
"So the governor responded with his own treatment, secretly ordered Xi'an's Jin Yiwei to plan an assassination, and sent a group of masters and Dongchang fans to sneak into the area controlled by the bandits to look for an opportunity to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye."
Li Yan stared into the distance without saying a word for a long time, and Chang Yu didn't bother him. After a while, Li Yan shook his head and said: "The pressure is greater than the actual situation. This is a stratagem for the governor."
Chang Yu laughed loudly: "The one who knows me is General Li, but how can I be sure that he can't succeed?"
"The army of thieves is mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are many factions on the mountain. In the past ten years, they have seemed to be of the same mind, but they have been fighting openly and secretly. Today, they are drinking and chatting with each other, but tomorrow they will be stabbed with a knife. Luo Rucai, He Yilong and other thieves leaders
Aren’t they all dead like this? The dozen or so thieves knew how powerful they were among them, and were very guarded against outsiders. Even when they were at home, they were surrounded by more than ten masters, and when they went out, they followed them like clouds.
The governor has done everything wrong, and if he sends people to assassinate him, he will be frightened and disturbed at most, but the chance of success is slim." As one of Li Zicheng's four great advisers, Li Yan was very knowledgeable in this matter.
say.
"Our family just wants to make him restless, which is called mental torture, and we don't really want to kill him." Chang Yu chuckled and said: "But if we add more firewood, what are the chances of success?"
Li Yan was startled, then realized: "Send a group of troops to enter the country, like Gu Junen did?"
Chang Yu nodded: "I have been undecided about this for more than a month. I would like to hear General Li's opinion. If it is feasible, your ministry will send a team of several hundred troops to enter the country."
"No!" Li Yan denied it directly, but Chang Yu was stunned: "Why?"
"With a large number of people, the target is huge. If they are just the spies of Jinyiwei and Jianghu people, it is easy for them to hide their identity. But if the target of hundreds of soldiers and horses is too big to hide even if they want to hide, they will be surrounded and suppressed by the bandit army at any time, let alone hundreds of soldiers and horses."
People's logistics supplies have been provided." Li Yanzhi shook his head: "Nowadays, people are often close to thieves, and even if they will not take the initiative to protect them, they will not report them. But even so, Gu Junen was forced to reveal himself by the governor just a short time after he appeared.
It has become a lost dog. Not to mention the common people in the area occupied by the thieves, they are all the thieves’ eyes. Hundreds of people have nowhere to hide once they enter the country!”
Chang Yu let out a long sigh: "We understand, it's because the officers and soldiers have a poor public base!"
Li Yan smiled bitterly and said nothing, but Chen Ruxin and other personal attendants beside him were very angry: "Obviously the officers and soldiers are trying their best to protect them, why..."
Chang Yu comforted him: "Three feet of ice is not the result of a day's cold. There must be a cause if there is an effect. The bad reputation of officers and soldiers in the past has ultimately led to the current environment... Of course, it is not all because of this. People... always love
Those who have illusions always feel that what they don’t get is good. Only those who have suffered deeply know who is good and who is bad. Ask the people in the capital who is better? Ask the wealthy gentry people who have been tortured by the bandits.
Who is better among us? Then ask the common people who wrote that they were kidnapped by the rebel army and now their families are broken up and their wives are separated. They may not say that the officers and soldiers are good, but they don’t think they would say that the rebel army is good!"
