Chapter 200: Young Master's Life Is Harder than Heavenly King Lao Tzu
Outside Dafeng City, Li Danqing and Qingzhu supported each other and walked to the foot of Yangshan Mountain.
The disciples of the Gale City, the soldiers of the Blackwater Army, the disciples of the Ancient Yangmen Gate, and tens of thousands of people from Yingshui County all stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at Li Danqing and Qingzhu who were staggering towards them from a distance.
.
After the initial misunderstanding was resolved, and after Xue Yun and Liu Zizai revealed Li Danqing's plan, everyone understood Li Danqing's good intentions. This understanding made everyone who had misunderstood Li Danqing come to understand.
As time passed, I felt more and more guilty.
In particular, Ning Xiu, Liu Yanzhen and others from Dafeng Academy felt secretly ashamed. At the same time, they were also worried about Li Danqing's condition. If Xue Yun, Liu Zizai and others had not stopped them with a strong attitude, they would have rushed into Dafeng City by now.
, of course, assuming that the Windy City still exists.
As early as about half an hour ago, the majestic power of the blazing sun rose from Gale City, burning Gale City to ashes in an instant.
Everyone was even more anxious. Even Xue Yun and Liu Zizai were worried about this. If Li Danqing hadn't issued a death order when he left, they would not be able to get close to Da Feng City no matter what. Even the two of them would not be able to hold back.
But just when everyone's patience was about to run out and the worries in their hearts were piling up to the top, Hou Yu suddenly reached out and pointed to the end of the windy path leading here from Gale City, and said: "There! Someone is coming over there!"
Everyone was stunned and looked around, and suddenly they saw Li Danqing and Qingzhu supporting each other and slowly walking towards here.
"Dean!"
"Your Majesty!"
"City Lord!"
Bursts of cheers suddenly rang out from the crowd, and they shouted Li Danqing's name loudly. Everyone in Dafengyuan who was standing in front of the crowd also trembled at that time, staring blankly at Li Danqing, their eyes a little red.
.
Li Danqing also saw everyone's appearance. He smiled slightly, let go of the hand held by Qingzhu, and walked alone in front of everyone in Dafeng Courtyard.
At that time, Prince Li opened his arms, waiting for the beautiful girls in front of him to throw themselves into their arms, and said loudly: "I'm back!"
After saying this, Prince Li raised his head and narrowed his eyes.
Secretly thinking in my heart, I am afraid that my arms can only hold three or four people at a time. There are so many beautiful girls in Dafengyuan, so it will take three or four times to comfort them all.
Why……
This may be what the old man often says, those who are capable should work harder.
As Li Shizi thought about this, the smile on his face gradually turned from bright to wretched, but at this moment...
Liu Yanzhen was the first to step forward. Under Li Danqing's expectant gaze, he punched Li Danqing hard in the face.
Li Shizi, who had not waited for the beauty to throw himself into his arms, was suddenly stunned and looked at Liu Yanzhen with an aggrieved expression. Liu Yanzhen saw him in this state and burst into tears at that time, but at the next moment he said with a straight face: "Let you succeed."
hero!"
"Go to hell, bastard!"
After saying that, he stepped heavily on Li Danqing's foot. Li Shizi suddenly grinned in pain and cried while holding his foot. Everyone present who was still in a heavy mood couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
The haze of successive battles and constant deaths seems to have dissipated a lot with Li Danqing's behavior.
…
The next day, noon.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky and the weather is hot and dry.
It's summer time, and although Yingshui County is still frighteningly cold at night, as soon as the sun rises, it becomes extremely hot again.
The marching army temporarily stayed in place, preparing to light a fire for cooking. In the battle of Dafeng City, although Li Danqing slaughtered Youyun's 400,000 troops, Dafeng City was destroyed and everyone was homeless. Li Danqing waved his hand and decided to temporarily
Go to Yingshui City for repairs. Although it was the territory of the Qin family at that time, without Youyun as a backer, and all the purple sword guards had died in the battle before, Yingshui City today is just a piece of cake for Li Danqing.
, Li Danqing will naturally not be polite.
only……
"What!"
"There's only so much food and grass left!"
Li Danqing looked furiously at the dozens of carriages in front of him, his eyes widened with a look of astonishment.
"Didn't I tell you to take away enough grain and grass from the grain depot..." Li Danqing pointed at the dozens of carriages and asked loudly.
It takes five or six days to walk from Dafeng City to Yingshui County. Although Yingshui City is rich, Qin Huaiyi had secretly funded the Youyun people before. The food and clothing for the 400,000 troops for more than a month came from Yingshui City. God knows
How much food is left in Yingshui City? With the food and grass in front of them, they can be considered as refugees. There are more than 100,000 people. They can't even reach Yingshui City. If there is no food left in Yingshui City, then they can survive Youyun's fierce battle, but they are hungry.
He died in Yingshui County. Wouldn't it make the big shots in Wuyang City laugh out loud if the news spread?
Liu Zizai couldn't bear to face Li Danqing's scolding, and replied in a low voice with a guilty conscience: "I was also afraid that there wouldn't be enough food and grass to allow Long Tuo Yan Ya to lead the army into the city... so I left some more..."
"You!" Li Danqing suddenly became furious.
"Liu Zizai, Liu Zizai, you are deceiving me for something important!" Li Danqing became angrier as he spoke, and immediately wanted to punish the other party.
He was about to say something, but at this moment he felt a cold and cold gaze coming from behind him. Li Danqing's heart was shocked. He looked sideways and saw Liu Yan standing not far away, staring with cold eyes.
he.
Ever since Li Danqing returned yesterday, Liu Yanzhen has been giving Li Danqing a cold look. She was somewhat angry that Li Danqing had hidden so many things from her and was in danger alone.
Li Danqing had been thinking about easing his relationship with everyone since early in the morning, but this time the disciples of Dafengyuan were closely united around Liu Yanzhen. Even Qingzhu chose to rebel and loved Shizi Li.
ignore.
Prince Li was agitated, coughed and said, "Well, forget it, since you are sincerely thinking about me, I will let this matter go."
Liu Zi was stunned, obviously not expecting such a good thing. He blinked, looked at Li Danqing in astonishment, and asked uncertainly: "Young Master is really not angry anymore?"
Li Danqing rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Then what else can we do? We can't kill you, steam and fry you in a pot, and then share the meat with us?"
"You've got a bargain there and you're a good boy. Come and find a way to get food for me! Otherwise, I'll really steam you!"
Liu Zizai came back to his senses and saw Liu Yanzhen standing behind Li Danqing. He gave his daughter a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that after all, he had not raised this little girl in vain for so many years.
"That can't be done." But before Liu Zizai could be happy for too long, Liu Yanzhen's voice suddenly came from behind.
Liu Zizai and Li Danqing were both stunned and turned to look at Liu Yanzhen. Li Danqing looked very surprised and said in a pretentious manner: "Yan Zhen, I don't even know when you came. It looks like
Xiaoyan's cultivation has improved recently.
, Isn’t this realm of the Martial Lord right before our eyes? In the future, we will communicate with the stars and open up the holy mountain. It will be a good story if it is spread out!"
Li Danqing was flattering shamelessly, and even Liu Zizai felt goosebumps in his ears.
"Humph." Liu Yanzhen rolled his eyes at Li Danqing and did not answer his question. Instead, he stared straight at Liu Zizai, who was smiling innocently at her.
"There is no selfish love in the army. Since Liu Zizai violated military law, he must be dealt with."
Liu Yanzhen said this with a cold gaze, and then glanced sideways at Li Danqing: "Otherwise, if this matter spreads, people will say that you, Li Danqing, are a guy who only knows how to indulge his children... well, his children's affairs, how can you convince the public...
"
Liu Yanzhen's face turned red when he mentioned the words about his children's affair, but he still suppressed the shyness in his heart and said this with a straight face.
As soon as these words came out, before Li Danqing said anything, Liu Zizai's eyes widened and he looked at his daughter in disbelief. He never expected that his little cotton-padded jacket would surrender to the enemy in the blink of an eye...
Li Danqing also came to his senses at this time. He was somewhat unclear about Liu Yanzhen's thoughts, but at this juncture, he did not dare to disobey him. He coughed quickly and said, "Well, what Yan Zhen said makes sense.
, then punish Liu Zizai to be a cook, and until enough food and grass are found, this job will be left to General Liu!"
Liu Zizai's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a grimace: "Young Master, how can I cook if I'm... a rude fellow!"
"The military order is overwhelming, does General Liu want to disobey it?" Li Danqing asked rhetorically.
Liu Zi was speechless for a moment. He quickly turned to look at Liu Yanzhen pitifully, hoping to get her to say a few nice words.
But Liu Yanzhen turned his head away at this moment and ignored him at all.
Liu Zizai suddenly felt that he was in a difficult situation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Yanzhen! I am your father!"
Liu Yanzhen was furious when he heard this: "It's my father! You still lied to me with him! You deserve it!"
Liu Zi was stunned for a moment, and could only lower his head with a grimace, secretly saying in his heart that it is not a good idea for a woman to stay.
…
"I would like to say that our family's small words are really righteous. Even before we have passed the door, we know that we are thinking about this prince. He is really virtuous, kind, gentle and pleasant. Let me ask you, in this world, how many eight hundred years ago and how many years later?
In eight hundred years, how can there be a woman like my Xiao Yanzhen, a girl who values both talent and beauty, understands the general situation, and warms people's hearts?"
Li Danqing had no intention of paying attention to Liu Zizai's complaints at the moment. He quickly followed Liu Yanzhen's pace, flattered him behind his back, and poured out all the appropriate words he knew.
He praised Liu Yanzhen to the sky.
"Who...who is your little Yanzhen..." Liu Yanzhen tried hard to keep a straight face, not wanting to let Li Danqing go so easily, but Li Shizi's mouth was like honey, and Liu Yanzhen couldn't help but say it.
Some faces turn red.
"Haha, there can be a second one, and of course it's you." Li Danqing has always been thick-skinned, especially when facing beautiful girls.
He said with a smile: "Yan Zhen, you must not forget that we have made an engagement, and we cannot go back on it. If you don't admit it, then I will have to talk to you. Let me tell you,
My prince has acquaintances in the Sanfu and Jiusi. When the time comes, I will charge you with treachery and send you to the sky prison..."
Liu Yanzhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he looked at Li Danqing and asked, "Do the Three Prefectures and Nine Divisions still care about these things?"
Li Danqing vowed: "That's not possible!"
After all, Liu Yanzhen was born in Yingshui County. He had only heard of the existence of the Three Prefectures and Nine Divisions by name. He knew that they held supreme power, and he was somewhat in awe of them. However, he had no idea about their functions. He was just naughty and mischievous when he was a child.
At that time, her parents often threatened her that if she didn't obey her orders, the three government agencies and the nine departments would have to send people to arrest her.
Although this was just a joke when I was a kid, as time went by, I inevitably became wary of it in my heart.
"Then...then you are lying to us by hiding such a dangerous thing from us, and the three houses and nine divisions will not care about it?" Fortunately, Liu Yanzhen was smart and quickly noticed the weirdness in Li Danqing's words, and turned around
asked rhetorically.
The sharp-tongued Crown Prince Li was stunned for a moment when he was countered by the general. He blinked and thought for a while, and then said with a playful smile: "How can that be possible? I am in Wuyang City, and he is a man with hands and eyes that can reach the sky."
, the people from the Three Prefectures and the Nine Divisions are familiar with me. As the saying goes, they collude with each other to bully ordinary people like you. So, when the time comes, I will only punish you for your crimes, but not my son.
"
"As for you, don't even think about going back and denying it. You can't get away with this."
Li Danqing said, looking at Liu Yanzhen with a teasing expression, looking shameless.
Liu Yan was really angry and ashamed in his heart. He hesitated for a long time with a red face, not knowing what to say.
"Yan Zhen, you are serious. You believe what the dean said! He is bragging." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side. It was Yue Ningshuang who came over and she hugged her.
He took Liu Yanzhen's hand and made a face towards Li Danqing.
"Think about it, if the dean were someone from the three prefectures and nine divisions, how could we end up alone and helpless in Yingshui County?"
Some things are clear to all bystanders. As soon as these words came out, Liu Yanzhen also figured out what was going on. She immediately stared at Li Danqing with her eyes wide open: "You're bluffing me!"
"You just lied to me before, but now you want to lie to me!"
Li Danqing suddenly felt annoyed. He gave Yue Ningshuang a vicious look and cursed her secretly, but he felt that this description was not appropriate and seemed to have included himself in the curse.
After all, Prince Li is a person who has a good face, and he is not willing to lose face in front of his two disciples, so he gritted his teeth and said seriously.
"I'm not talking nonsense. You go and inquire about my prince's connections in Wuyang City..."
"Do you know, Shenhe Division? Their young commander, Qu Manxiu's daughter, Qu Weiyang, is my prince's loyal admirer. In the early years, in order to see my prince, she blocked the door of my Li Mansion, which is enough.
In three days, the sincerity and sincerity that made people open their hearts, just thinking about it makes people burst into tears and full of emotion..."
Li Danqing was bragging like this, but before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Yes, I heard that when he was at Taixue Pavilion, Prince Li was scornful of Miss Qu for some reason, so Qu Weiyang led more than ten brothers in the family to block the door of Prince Li, vowing to make Prince Li frivolous.
Miss Qu's hand was cut off, so she stayed at the gate of Li's Mansion for three days and three nights. However, Crown Prince Li, who was playing songs and singing every night and going out to have a good time and have a good time, claimed that he was ill and had to wait until His Majesty intervened before Prince Li dared to show off again.
.”
"It is said that to this day, there is still a sign outside the door of Shenhesi's house saying that Li Danqing and dogs are not allowed inside."
"What kind of frivolity is that? It was obviously my prince who was walking smoothly on the road. Na Qu Weiyang bumped into me. My prince..." Li Danqing heard this and said
He retorted consciously, but as soon as he said the words, he felt that it was wrong. How could the people of Yingshui County know about this old incident from many years ago?
This year, Li Danqing hurriedly looked up and saw a group of soldiers riding tall horses and wearing white armor appearing in front of him.
The leader was in his early twenties, with a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic weapon. It was obvious at a glance that he was of extraordinary origin.
"Qu Hongcheng!" Li Danqing recognized him with just one glance. He was the fourth son of the Qu family in Wuyang.
Speaking of which, Li Danqing and the other party had some disputes over Qu Weiyang's matter. Although Li Danqing was indeed wronged, no one would believe Li Danqing's infamous attitude.
There has also been hostility over the years.
This Qu Hongcheng can be considered a figure among the younger generation of Wuyang City. At the age of twenty-four, he took the position of governor in the Shenhe Division. Although it is due to his family connections, he does have some abilities.
.
"It has been more than a year since Prince Li left the royal capital, but he still looks the same when I see him today." Qu Hongcheng looked up and down at Li Danqing's tattered clothes and said this with a naturally full tone.
It means ridicule.
After yesterday's battle, everything in Gale City was burned to the ground. Naturally, Li Danqing had no clothes to change, so he could only wear the blood-stained and tattered clothes. He looked quite embarrassed indeed.
"Why are you here?" Li Danqing didn't pay attention to the other party's teasing. Instead, he stared at Qu Hongcheng and asked.
Qu Hongcheng smiled and took out a piece of cloth with gold rim from his arms. When they saw it, everyone's expressions changed. It was clearly an imperial edict.
Everyone who saw this hurriedly knelt down. Qu Hongcheng was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He was about to open the imperial edict when he caught a glimpse of Li Danqing standing there upright.
He frowned and asked, "Prince Li has been away from Wuyang City for too long and doesn't he recognize what this is?"
But Li Danqing smiled: "You treat these things as treasures. The piles in my house are higher than the hills. When you are so old that you can't even recognize your own wife, I will never forget what these things are."
.”
"Since you know it's an imperial edict, why don't you kneel down?" Qu Hongcheng asked angrily.
But Li Danqing waved his hand and said impatiently: "My feet hurt and I can't kneel down. Just recite it quickly. After reciting it, I still have something to do!"
In the world of Wuyang, Li Danqing is probably the only person who dares to treat the imperial decree with such courage.
Even Liu Yanzhen, who was sulking with Li Danqing before, saw this and carefully tugged at the corner of Li Danqing's clothes. Apparently, he felt that it was unwise for Li Danqing to have a dispute over this matter.
Li Danqing ignored Liu Yanzhen's little move, but looked straight at Qu Hongcheng with a smile on his face.
Qu Hongcheng narrowed his eyes and whispered: "How can I go back and report to His Majesty the Crown Prince for his behavior?"
"That's easy to say. Just say that Li Danqing has an arrogant attitude and ignores the holy will. If you are bolder, you can add more jealous words and say that I, Li Danqing, am lawless and rebellious, and let him arrest me, Li Danqing."
, how about cutting it off...?" Li Danqing said with a smile.
Qu Hongcheng's brows furrowed. He was a little confused as to whether Li Danqing had taken the wrong medicine and dared to talk to him so arrogantly.
"As for me, I'm waiting in Yingshui County, waiting for Ji Qi's imperial edict to come, chop off my head, and then tell the world that this traitor not only did not surrender to the Youyun people after he rebelled against the Qin family, but also
Single-handedly destroying Youyun's 400,000-strong army, this is simply the stupidest rebel since the founding of the Wuyang Dynasty!" Li Danqing's voice rang out at this moment.
When Qu Hongcheng heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately understood what Li Danqing was relying on.
The credit for solving Youyun's troubles by his own efforts is there, and with Li Mulin's remaining shadow shining on him, even if the court wants to suppress Li Danqing, it can't take action now, otherwise the world will criticize him with words and writings
, enough to tear Wuyang City to pieces. This Li Danqing is really a villain. He just made some achievements, and in the blink of an eye he became domineering and returned to his previous behavior.
Thinking of this, Qu Hongcheng glared at Li Danqing fiercely, but could not say anything more. At that time, he obediently opened the imperial edict in his hand and read in a deep voice.
"The sun and the moon are bright, the rivers are clear, the holy mountains have words, and all the ministers listen quietly."
"The Li family's paintings, literary and martial arts are all in the style of my father."
"After careful planning and exhaustive planning, Youyun's 400,000-strong army was wiped out in the blink of an eye. I was very pleased to hear this."
"Now, you have practiced in Yangshan for more than a year. Your achievements in guarding the soil are worthy of rebuilding Wuyang. I will call your beloved back to Wuyang City today to wait for your reward. All the ministers who have made meritorious deeds must also go with me.
They will be rewarded one by one."
"I have prepared fine wines and delicacies for the return of all my dear friends! All the people will celebrate together, and the whole world will rejoice!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room showed joy. This was a sure blessing for those who had experienced the catastrophe.
But after hearing these words, Li Danqing had a calm expression. He just nodded and said, "I understand. Go back and tell Ji Qi that I will go to Wuyang City to find him when I'm done."
After saying this, Li Danqing didn't even have the intention to follow the imperial edict, turned around and left.
Seeing this, Qu Hongcheng's eyebrows became even more serious. He stared at Li Danqing and whispered: "Then I will return to life like this."
"Well, go ahead." Li Danqing waved his hand and said.
Seeing this, Qu Hongcheng could only lead a large number of people and leave in despair.
After Qu Hongcheng left, everyone came forward and looked at Li Danqing uneasily. Among them, Qingzhu asked directly: "Young master, why are you doing this? It is not a good thing to offend Ji Qi. If he finds out the reason,
, not good for the young master..."
But Li Danqing smiled: "He doesn't dare to do something to me now. I am so powerful now and then, if he wants to take action on me, he must first ask the people in the world if they agree..."
"But the bright ones dare not, the dark ones..."
"No matter how humble I am to him, he still has to do what he is supposed to do behind the scenes..." Li Danqing said indifferently.
"No way, the dean has made great contributions after all. The emperor would not be so indiscriminate..." Liu Yanzhen said with some confusion.
Li Danqing heard this but glanced at her at this moment and asked: "We have just destroyed Youyun's army, and the imperial edict to reward based on merit has arrived. That Ji Qi has the ability to reach the sky and can see this thing thousands of miles away."
matter?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.
"What the dean means is..."
Li Danqing's face turned cold, he looked towards the direction Naqu Hongcheng left, and whispered: "If I guessed correctly, these guys should have been planning to punish me, but neither they nor Ji Qi thought...
"
"My life is tougher than that of the King of Heaven!"
