Lincheng Huamo Chapter 162: Red Sect Fierce Wine

On this day, outside the gate of Jinling City, a young man pulled an ox cart and drove slowly. The young man stepped on a pair of wooden clogs that creaked as he walked, and his green shirt fluttered with the wind. This was how he dressed in the past.

Although it was the same today, there was an extra white streak on his forehead.

There was no expression on the young man's face, as calm as a rock, but he could not hide his fatigue. Not to mention the young man, even the oxen pulling the cart walked slowly, and every time he lifted his hoof, he trembled slightly. The young man was too much.

Tired, the oxen was almost exhausted, but the young man still pulled the oxcart and continued to move forward.

When the young man pulled the oxcart near, the school captain on duty at the city gate recognized the young man. He rushed up to meet him, with a face full of flattery and concern, and asked: "Master Li San, where are you fighting..."

"

The captain's words were paused in his mouth. He saw what was being pulled on the ox cart. On top of the ox cart was a thin wooden coffin. The coffin was rough in workmanship and it looked like it was newly made.

The boy in green shirt stopped walking, and the ox also stopped moving forward. The moment the ox stopped, even the strong ox was exhausted and could no longer support it. Then his knees buckled and he collapsed with a loud sound.

It fell to the ground. The yellow cow panted hard at first. It was so tired that it could no longer get up, or even breathe happily.

The scalper panted rapidly for only a few times, and finally stopped, and no sound of the scalper's panting could be heard anymore. The young man in green shirt squatted in front of the scalper's head. The scalper's eyes were still open, but their eyes were empty. The young man in green shirt closed his eyes.

Yan Yan silently recited a passage that seemed like a passage from the past life, and then he reached out and stroked the cow's eyes. The cow was dead. It had been a hard journey, and he didn't deserve to die without resting in peace.

The young man in green shirt also trembled slightly in his steps, as if he was about to sway a few more times like the ox and was about to fall to the ground. The captain of the city guard supported Young Master Li San, his tone even more concerned.

"Master Li San, Master Li San..."

The young man in green shirt finally couldn't support himself. He closed his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.

When the young man in green shirt woke up, he was lying on his comfortable big bed. He wanted to get up, but all the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he couldn't even raise his hands.

A delicate voice came, with a calm tone and no trace of emotion.

"Yunhong, you had a hard time on the road."

Li Yunhong, the young man in green shirt, looked at the man sitting beside the bed. This man's face was somewhat similar to his own, but compared to his own, this man's face was softer.

Li Yunhong laughed, the laughter was bitter, and it even revealed his helplessness. He said, "Second brother, I didn't kill her."

Sitting beside the bed was Li Pinghong, the second eldest son of the Li family. Li Pinghong nodded and patted his third brother on the shoulder. His tone finally showed emotion, which was comfort and relief.

"That being the case, so be it. From now on, there will be no justice in the world.

Ziqiao, there is no more Li Ganghong in the Li family. Yunhong, I set up a hidden memorial tablet for my brother in the study. But from now on, the Li family will have to work hard for you."

Li Yunhong laughed again, which made Li Pinghong a little puzzled. Without him asking, his third brother spoke first.

"I should indeed obey the king's order and kill my brother with my own hands. It's a pity, it's a pity, I couldn't do it after all. It's a pity, my brother died because of me."

Li Pinghong couldn't help but frown. He had expected that Li Yunhong would not take action. After all, Li Yunhong was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but what was the point of his brother dying because of him?

"You may want to ask how my brother died because of me, and what did I do during this trip, right?"

My brother, there is no need to beat around the bush, Li Pinghong nodded, and his third brother naturally told the answer.

"Mr. Badou's sword destroyed it with the wind. My sword, my sword, is still just mediocre after all."

"So, you could have killed Mr. Yato?"

Li Yunhong nodded and continued: "My brother's original intention was to kill Mr. Badou so that outstanding young people in the world would not have to worry about whether they would die before they achieved success or fame. But in the end, my brother did not commit the murder. He said that Mr. Badou would save him."

Brother Xuan Tu can't kill her. Naturally, I can't kill her either."

After that, the two brothers only chatted for about ten words during the time of burning incense. Li Pinghong let the third brother have a good rest and went out.

After leaving the Li family, Li Pinghong got on the carriage and went directly to the Forbidden City. When the city guards saw the horse tag hanging on the carriage, they all opened the side door and did not dare to stop him.

It was a smooth journey. After entering the Forbidden City, Li Pinghong walked quickly again and went straight to the East Palace.

His Royal Highness Zhu Jiannan, the crown prince of Jinling City, was not in the study room today to approve official documents. He was still in the imperial garden like the previous few days, with a wicker chair and a pot of strong wine. He seemed to be lying leisurely on the wicker chair, drinking.

Drink strong wine and look at the clouds rolling in the sky.

A palace maid walked up behind Zhu Jiannan and knelt down. Just as she was about to report, Zhu Jiannan spoke one step ahead of her. He didn't get up or look back. He just waved his hand and then said: "Let him directly

Just come in."

After getting up, Gong'e saluted behind His Royal Highness, then took a small step back for more than ten steps, then turned around and walked out in small steps.

Not long after, Li Pinghong walked quickly in a brown robe.

He also came to the place behind Zhu Jiannan, which was exactly the same as where the palace maid was kneeling before. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "See your highness."

Zhu Jiannan waved his hand again, and then said: "Get up, let's talk about it, what did you ask?"

Li Pinghong hesitated and remained silent. But after more than ten seconds, he finally opened his mouth and said the words exactly as they were.

"What do you ask for when a rich and powerful family drinks ferocious wine? A three-foot-high green sword is what you want? A brave man is the leader of thousands of people, but when he sees a scholar, he will make a natural enmity."

Zhu Jiannan was silent for a long time when he heard the four lines of the poem that had been reported to him. Just like this, he was a master and a servant, lying down and kneeling in silence. After touching half of the incense stick, Zhu Jiannan, who was lying on the wicker chair, stood up.

He raised the jug in his hand and tipped it over. The wine flowed into his mouth in a thin line. The strong alcohol burned his throat, but Zhu Jiannan let out a long "Ah" happily.

Then the Crown Prince of Jinling City laughed loudly, laughed wildly, and repeated these four lines of the poem in a arrogant voice: "The rich and powerful in the rich family drink fierce wine, what do you ask for with a three-foot green front? A brave man is bowed down by thousands of people, and when he sees a scholar, he will die.

Qiu. Young master is pretty! Young master is pretty. Why do you ask for a three-foot green front? "

Li Pinghong was still kneeling on one knee, bowing his head and saying nothing. Zhu Jiannan came to his senses and helped him up, with a gentle smile on his face. But the more he acted like this, the more frightened Li Pinghong was. Then Li Pinghong made a "plop" sound, and his knees

Kneel on the ground.

"Your Highness, Yun Hong's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth!"

When Zhu Jiannan heard this, he still did not change his gentle smile. He once again helped Li Pinghong, an authentic member of the Li family, up, and then he sighed, took a long breath, and said: "Sometimes, I

The king will feel that everything the king has done is wrong. Pinghong, do you think what the king has done is right or wrong?"

Li Pinghong clasped his hands in fists, bent his waist slightly, lowered his head slightly, and said in a respectful and firm tone: "The Li family has been around the King of Jinling for generations. They will never change their loyalty before, now or in the future."

Zhu Jiannan laughed out loud, his hearty voice spreading far and wide.

"I believe you are loyal to the Li family. Why don't you let Yun Hong come to the capital?"

When he heard that Li Yunhong was being asked to enter the capital, Li Pinghong couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of horror, and he raised his head sharply. When he saw the eyes of His Highness, his temples could not help but feel cold, and he almost trembled and almost fell to the ground.

Zhu Jiannan's eyes were as cold as the abyss at that moment, with no trace of emotion visible. But then His Highness's eyes changed, and were as gentle as before.

"That's it, Pinghong, you can go down. From now on, you, Li Pinghong, will have to work hard in Jinling and Lincheng."

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Li Pinghong didn't want to guess Zhu Jiannan's thoughts, and he couldn't guess Zhu Jiannan's thoughts. He could only salute with cupped fists again, and after replying "yes", he took small steps like the palace maid before.

He took a few steps back, then turned around and walked away.

In addition to the palace maids and guards at the edge of the imperial garden, Zhu Jiannan was once again the only one left in the central resting area. He did not lie back on the wicker chair, but stood upright with his hands behind his back, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds. The wind passed by.

The clouds were moving and there was a slight whistling sound. Occasionally, birds flew by and made a few long calls.

Zhu Jiannan's nose moved slightly, and after smelling the rich fragrance emanating from his body, bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then His Highness sighed, and his tone was full of bitterness.

"The rich and powerful of the rich family drink evil wine, oh, the evil wine of the rich family, the evil wine of the rich family."
