A rich man, who was in a state of embarrassment and still in shock, was running along the mountain trails with more than a dozen guards and soldiers.
They were like frightened birds, running away as far as possible from Jinling City.
This group of people was none other than Li Liangjin and others who had gathered government soldiers to cause trouble at night.
Last night, Li Liangjin led hundreds of soldiers and guards to kill Li Xiuyuan in an aggressive manner. Not only did he not succeed, but he also alerted Fu Tianchou, the Minister of War. He originally made a desperate fight with the soldiers brought by Fu Tianchou and others, but he didn't know he would win.
When he was watching, a fierce man came out and attacked everyone he met. No one was his opponent.
Hundreds of soldiers were forcibly dispersed.
Only when Li Liangjin came to his senses did he realize that something was wrong. It was nothing for him to violate the curfew, but the crime of gathering government soldiers to try to kill the Minister of War was too big a crime.
Who knows if the Minister of War will mobilize people to arrest him this time.
In a moment of panic, Li Liangjin escaped from Jinling City with the few remaining people.
"This, what kind of place is this?" Li Liangjin gasped, stepped unsteadily on the mud on the roadside, and almost fell to the ground.
A guard said; "This little one doesn't know. It was so chaotic at night. When I first left the city, I knew the direction, but now I don't know where I am. It should be only a few dozen miles or so near Jinling City. Let's escape on foot."
You can't go too far out of the city."
"Damn it, that Li Xiuyuan was already prepared. If that Fu Tianchou hadn't come, how could I have failed? He has the ability to control ghosts and gods. He must have informed Fu Tianchou early." Li Liangjin cursed angrily.
, my heart is filled with hatred.
A guard next to him asked, "My lord, my lord, what should we do now? Should we go back to Jinling City, or should we stay away from the limelight temporarily?"
Li Liangjin cursed, "Aren't you afraid of death if you return to Jinling City? That Fu Tianchou must be searching us. If we are caught by him, it will be impossible to explain the matter. If we go to Yangzhou, the magistrate of Yangzhou is my third uncle.
Third uncle will definitely help me solve this matter."
"But young master, we raised troops to make trouble and tried to kill the imperial minister of war. This move is no different from treason. Is it really good for us to go to Yangzhou?" The guard asked a little uneasily.
Li Liangjin scolded: "What rebellion? My Li family's power in Jiangnan does not require rebellion? Then Fu Tianchou will definitely not dare to break up with my Li family."
Even so, he was extremely uneasy in his heart, and there was a hint of guilt in his voice.
Yes, his behavior last night was indeed no different from treason.
"Let's go, hurry to Yangzhou first." Li Liangjin waved his hand and said.
But just when a few people set off together, they didn't go far when they suddenly saw a middle-aged fortune teller walking towards them on the path in the distance. The fortune teller was carrying a wooden box on his back and a cloth banner in his hand.
, there are four characters written on it: "神机 clever plan".
This fortune teller has an ordinary appearance, but his walk is strong and reasonable. Although his face is old, his skin is shiny and rosy, giving him a somewhat fairy-like air.
When the fortune teller came and saw Li Liangjin coming towards him, he suddenly stopped him.
"This young master, can you stay?" The fortune teller stood in front of Li Liangjin and looked at him in surprise; "Your face is extraordinary, can you let me see it?"
"Where are you from, old fortune teller? Get out of here and don't block our way." A guard nearby yelled at the fortune teller angrily.
The fortune teller was not afraid. Instead, he smiled and pointed his finger: "You talk too much and offend people easily. I think you have to stay silent for a month, otherwise you will definitely cause trouble on this trip."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard closed his mouth and made a slurred "hmm" sound. His mouth seemed to be glued together and he could no longer speak.
Seeing this, Li Liangjin was surprised and said, "I wonder where your master is? It was my guard who bumped into you just now. Please don't be offended."
The fortune teller stroked his beard and smiled and said: "I am a hermit at the foot of the mountain over there. I have given up my name. People in the nearby villages call me Nanshan Weng. As for me, I am not considered an expert. I just know a little bit.
It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
"Nanshan Weng?" Li Liangjin noticed the name, but he had never heard of it.
The Li family had many retainers, worshiped some Taoist priests, and knew some hermits and masters near Jinling City, but they had never heard of this Nanshan Weng.
However, although he had never heard of it, he was not surprised. There were so many hermits in this world, so it was normal for him not to have heard of them by name.
"I wonder why the master stopped me?" Li Liangjin asked immediately.
Nanshan Weng said with a smile: "There is nothing special happening here. I just happened to see this young master when I was passing by. I saw his strange face, so I couldn't help but want to stop him and take a look."
"Oh, you want to see my face, but you don't know what I look like?" Li Liangjin asked curiously.
"Let me take a look." Nanshan Weng looked solemnly and looked at Li Liangjin's face carefully.
After a moment, Nanshan Weng's solemn expression turned into a look of shock, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's incredible, it's incredible, I'm the master of destiny at this step. I have the potential to become an emperor in the future. I'm a hidden dragon in the mountains. In the future
He will definitely proclaim the Heavenly Constitution and ascend the throne as king. It is enough for me to see him in this lifetime."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Li Liangjin.
Li Liangjin immediately burst out laughing when he heard this: "Your calculation is not accurate. I have had an immortal tell my fortune a long time ago. The immortal said that I have the fate of a prince and will definitely be a prince in the future. I believe this.
As for the Lord of Destiny, it’s all nonsense.”
But he didn't believe that he would be the master of destiny.
Nanshan Weng said seriously: "What God said is wrong. Since ancient times, many emperors and kings were born as ordinary men. For example, Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty started as a pavilion chief. Today, Taizu of the Song Dynasty was just a warrior, but in the end he became the world leader and became the emperor.
, why is this? Without him, it is all destiny. God used to be the destiny of princes, but now it is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, turning into a dragon and ascending to heaven."
"If my calculation is correct, are you coming from Jinling City?"
Li Liangjin said: "Yes, we are coming from Jinling City."
"This is even more correct. Where is Jinling City? It is the land of trapped dragons. In the past, King Wei of Chu saw that this place had a kingly spirit and buried gold to protect it. Since then, there has been no emperor in Jinling City. At most, there are only princes.
The young master has the fate of being a prince because he is trapped in Jinling City. Now that the young master leaves Jinling City, he will turn into a dragon and a fish will leap over the dragon gate. In the future, he will be the master of destiny. If God raises an army at this moment, he will definitely do something."
Nanshan Weng exclaimed.
When Li Liangjin was told this, he felt a little surge in his heart. What Nanshan Weng said did make sense.
It has long been certain that he has the destiny to be a prince. Even Wenquxing in the sky has recognized it. There is no doubt about it. Now that he has escaped from Jinling City, he may not be able to inherit his father's title in the future.
Since you cannot inherit the title and fulfill the fate of a prince, how should you respond in the future?
Naturally, they rebelled.
Conquering the country will naturally fulfill the destiny of this prince.
However, Li Liangjin calmed down and asked: "If I raise an army, can I accomplish anything?"
"It will definitely happen." Nanshan Weng said seriously.
"To be honest, I can say that I have escaped from Jinling City like a bereaved dog. I'm afraid you don't know what happened yesterday, Nanshan Weng." Li Liangjin sighed and told what happened last night: "I
Now that we have a home and cannot return, and our power and position have been lost, why should we raise an army?"
Nanshan Weng asked: "As a descendant of a prince, don't you have any other capital even if you leave Jinling City?"
Li Liangjin thought about it and said: "There is an old house of my Li family in a town nearby, and my Li family has millions of silver buried in it. Yangzhou is under the jurisdiction of my third uncle, and there is a military supplies department of the imperial court."
, I think there are tens of thousands of armors and weapons."
Nanshan Weng smiled and said, "This is what God wants you to accomplish. If you can trust me, Allah, I can contact the bandits, thieves, and even the Maitreya Cult and others in the south of the Yangtze River for you, so that they can respect you as their Lord and work together."
When the time comes, Allah, there will be tens of thousands of warriors under your command. All we need to do is to rise up, and then all the Jiangnan area will be in the hands of Allah."
Hearing this, Li Liangjin was moved.
No matter how down and out he is now, if he wants to turn around, maybe this is a good way.
Now is a God-given opportunity, how can we miss it?
"If you can succeed, I will follow your plan and raise an army to rebel." Li Liangjin suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
Nanshan Weng said: "To contact and persuade the bandit leaders, tough bandits, and religious followers, one hundred thousand taels of silver will be needed."
Li Liangjin said: "I will give you two hundred thousand taels of silver. If you can succeed, I will let you be my military advisor. In the future, I will conquer the country and make you my national advisor. If you lie to me, I will definitely issue a reward for you."
Brain.”
"I am a hermit in the mountains. How can I be greedy for money? Let me go to your old house to get the money first. I will have good news in a few days." Nanshan Weng said.
Li Liangjin nodded, and told him the place where the silver was hidden in the old house, and asked him to go do something. He also ordered five guards to follow him to prevent him from trying to deceive him.
Nanshan Weng did not delay and left with the five guards around Li Liangjin.
However, after leaving for a while, the Nanshan Weng suddenly felt a burst of black energy coming out, covering the five guards behind him. The five guards immediately became confused and lost their consciousness.
"Li Liangjin, your catastrophe is about to come." Nanshan Weng suddenly flew deep into the clouds and transformed into a middle-aged man with a short beard.
This person is none other than Hu Hei.
"If you destroy my entire clan, I will also destroy your entire clan and let you have a taste of how it feels to have your whole family slaughtered."
Hu Hei gritted his teeth and sneered, and immediately flew towards the south, quickly disappearing into the sky.
He wanted to help Li Liangjin rebel. If he wanted to make him decide to rebel, he had to taste the sweetness of rebellion.
