As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, not even a moment later, the three general soldiers were heard standing up to say goodbye, and then they unhappily took their soldiers and rode out of the city.
"Shi Niang, your piano sound is indeed outstanding, even Xiaomei is not as good as you."
Li Xiuyuan did not send the three general soldiers away in unison, but said to the beautiful figure behind the curtain while drinking tea.
Shiniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Since Mr. Li likes it, why haven't you come to the Qin Pavilion for a long time? The Nu family has been waiting here for Mr. Li to come."
"I'm entangled in everything and I can't escape." Li Xiuyuan sighed.
"Yes, Young Master Li has a special status. He has to face not only things about ghosts and gods, but also the turmoil in the human world. Sometimes the slave family even thinks that being a human is not as good as being a ghost. Being a ghost can at least be somewhat peaceful and comfortable, but being a human is
But they have to run around every day, for food and clothing, for
Fighting for power, for a romantic night." Shiniang sighed quietly.
She was a female ghost before, but later possessed a human being, so she naturally understands the difference between humans and ghosts.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Whether it is a human being or a ghost, they are just ordinary living beings. Even if you are suffering in the world, you will not feel comfortable as a ghost. If the world is peaceful, even ghosts can enjoy purity. If the world cannot be changed, in fact, both being a ghost and being a ghost will not be the same."
It’s the same. Could it be that, Shiniang, you lived in Hua County?
Is it good?"
Shiniang replied: "Master Li is a man with great ambitions, and the Nu family is just an insignificant little girl. How can she have the ability to change the world? That is something that the Nu family dare not even think about."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "No, Shi Niang, what you said is wrong. It's not that you don't dare to think about it, but that you can't see hope in this world, so you sink like this."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
At this time, the wind howled outside and there was the faint sound of ghosts whispering.
"Is Mr. Li leaving?"
Shiniang slowly walked out from behind the curtain, with a hint of resentment on her face.
Ghost whispers sounded outside, it was the ghosts and gods under Li Xiuyuan who were coming.
Li Xiuyuan stood up and said: "Yes, I have to leave. Today's affairs are far from over. I have to solve the troubles caused by these three generals."
"Which slave family can play another song for the young master?" Shiniang said.
"That's fine." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
At this moment, the three general soldiers, surrounded by their own soldiers, rode out of the city.
"Sir, Li Xiuyuan's men are not chasing us." A scout came over on Pegasus and reported immediately.
"Uu~!"
After hearing this, the three general soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the reins, and slowed down their horses.
"This Li Xiuyuan is so arrogant. He dared to dominate Jinling City with his nearly ten thousand cavalry. He didn't take us in his eyes at all. A mere guerrilla general not only dared to commit the following crimes, but also dared to threaten us. I can't swallow this bad breath.
Down."
Mr. Qian's anger exploded at this moment, he clenched his fists and roared with a ferocious expression.
"Sir Qian's words are true. If we don't get rid of this Li Xiuyuan, where will the honor of our commander-in-chief be put? Today, the two adults have also seen the arrogant attitude of this Li Xiuyuan. If we don't get rid of him, we will never leave Jinling City."
"Since both adults have this idea, why don't we work together to get rid of this troublesome Li Xiuyuan?" Mr. Sun from Yangzhou said with his eyes flashing.
"How to remove it?"
Mr. Qian said: "Isn't he trying to extort three thousand of our troops? I'll give it to him tomorrow. As soon as he enters the military camp, he will shoot him to death with random arrows. Then the court will say that Li Xiuyuan fell from his horse and died in the army."
, go kill a guerrilla general with no identity and background, and the court will not investigate."
"Okay, let's do this. I will mobilize a thousand crossbowmen to be ready tonight." General Sun nodded.
"After killing him, all plans will remain as before. The credit for Li Xiuyuan's contribution will be shared among all the adults in the army."
The three generals were discussing the plan to kill Li Xiuyuan tomorrow on the road.
The more they talked, the more excited they became and the happier they felt, as if they could already see Li Xiuyuan's head hanging under the handsome military figure tomorrow.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The cold wind at night came and blew around, causing the three generals to shiver.
"Damn it, it's Li Xiuyuan who insists on letting us listen to the music. It's already late at night and it's freezing cold. Do you want to make us sick?" Sun Zongbing complained: "My lords, let's say goodbye.
Well, I'm going back to the military tent to rest."
"Okay, you two adults will see you tomorrow."
Soon, the three general soldiers dispersed outside the city and rushed towards the military camp not far away.
Huhu~!
The cold wind howled in the night, also chasing the three general soldiers at the same time.
Leng Feng followed closely behind, and neither the commander-in-chief nor his respective soldiers noticed anything unusual.
At this moment, in the Qin Pavilion in Jinling City.
A dark wind blew in and came in through the crack in the window. The wind circled on the ground, and suddenly a black man's figure appeared.
"Young Master." That was a Yin soldier.
Li Xiuyuan listened to the sound of Shi Niang playing the piano next to him, and then said: "Tell me, are the three general soldiers discussing how to deal with me?"
"Yes, Young Master. Just as Young Master expected, the three general soldiers want to lure Young Master into the military camp tomorrow. They will ambush Young Master with archers and kill him with random arrows."
The Yin soldiers narrated all the words that the three commander-in-chiefs had talked about before.
As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, Shiniang looked at Li Xiuyuan in surprise: "Master Li, those three generals are so vicious. How dare they dare that you, Master, are the deserving generals who defeated the rebels?"
Li Xiuyuan looked calm: "There is nothing that these dog officials dare not do. In order to protect their own interests, they want everyone in the world who opposes them to die. What does it matter to me, a guerrilla general? The reason why I forced them to stay until night
I just let them go, just to facilitate the devils under my command.
God is just out to watch them."
"Even if you are a commander-in-chief and have a good career, you can't escape the surveillance of ghosts and gods."
"Sir, now the three general soldiers have no luck in their official career. They are only enveloped by a black smoke. The light of merit has been completely blocked. Even the little devils can get close to them. They are just afraid of the murderous spirit of the army. No.
You dare to get too close." The Yin soldier said.
Li Xiuyuan laughed and said: "It's natural that the black smoke can cover the light of merit and dispel the luck of protecting the official. They have the intention to harm others, and when they have evil thoughts, it's like black air rising into the sky. They are good people."
Ghosts will also take advantage of them, not to mention that these three generals are always domineering.
You are no longer a good official, you have good fortune, and there is not much left in your official career."
"This is the opportunity they gave me. Go and call the Ghost King with the Long Tongue, the Ghost King with the Red Eyes, and the Ghost King with the Long Beard." After speaking, he waved his hand and said.
The Yin soldier responded and once again turned into a gust of wind and roared away. He quickly flew out of the house and headed towards a certain direction in Jinling City.
"Shi Niang, it seems that I can't listen to your song anymore. It's cold at night, so Shi Niang should go to bed early." Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.
Shiniang Yingying bowed and said: "How can the Nu family disturb Mr. Li's important affairs? Please be careful of Mr. Li in everything. If you have any spare time, please be sure to come to the Qin Pavilion to listen to the music. The Nu family's qin is always here."
Li Xiuyuan nodded in agreement, quickly opened the door, and strode away in the cold night wind.
He did not go far, but came to a nearby temple.
Palace of Ten Kings.
This is a temple dedicated to the Ten Temples of Yama. Of course, the Ten Temples of Yama do not exist. This is a fake temple, and the ten ghost kings are enshrined in it.
Five of the ten statues of the Ghost King collapsed and cracked. The altar table in front of them was smashed, and only five statues were still alive.
It seems that no one has taken care of this temple anymore, not even the temple blessings.
"Just borrow this place for a while." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
Phew~!
The evil wind howled and fell outside the temple, turning into three ghost kings, namely the ghost king with long beard, long tongue and red eyes.
"I've seen you, young master." As soon as the three ghost kings arrived, they all bowed with respect.
Li Xiuyuan looked back at them and said, "I called you here this time to help me with something."
The three ghost kings looked at each other and said, "Master, please give me your instructions."
Li Xiuyuan said: "You should have heard about the three general soldiers who left the city. I want you to go and lure their souls. The Yin soldiers and ghosts have limited skills, so I'm afraid you won't be able to lure these three general soldiers.
Soul, so I have to ask you three ghost kings to come. I don’t know if you have the ability to do it.
this matter?"
"This is not difficult. The kid has already heard what the Yin soldier said. The three general soldiers had the intention of harming others. Their evil thoughts turned into black smoke and covered their heads, blocking the light of official luck and merit. The kid took them.
His soul is a trivial matter. It’s just that the three general soldiers are in the military camp. Bringing out his soul is a trivial matter.
Take some time." The long-bearded ghost king said.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "No problem, just do this before dawn. Bring their souls and interrogate them about their crimes. I will make them comatose for at least ten days. You understand what I mean.
What?"
"I understand, young master, please rest assured." The long-bearded ghost king responded.
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for your good news in the side hall." Li Xiuyuan said.
The three ghost kings immediately turned into the sinister wind and roared away, heading straight for the military camp outside the city.
It is not a war at the moment. The soldiers brought by the three generals are all soldiers who have been out of battle for a long time. They have little blood and evil spirit. They ghost kings can break into the military camp.
Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands behind his hands, watching them leave, and thought to himself: "These three generals are really a scourge. They want to get rid of me, so why don't I want to get rid of them? They plotted to kill me tonight, so I won't."
You need to be polite, first capture their souls and then let them go.
Don’t give them the chance to wait until tomorrow.”
If vicious and foolish officials are not punished by the court, then let the ghosts and gods punish them.
This is where Li Xiuyuan’s concept of co-governance of humans and gods lies.
When the court becomes corrupt, the gods will also become corrupt. Only when the two restrain each other can they supervise each other and make fewer mistakes.
However, the power of God is too great, so Li Xiuyuan wanted to weaken the power of God, otherwise the check and balance between the two would not work.
