Chapter 172 Night Talk
“When trouble occurred in Kyoto, the evil creatures from the north were attacking. Those monsters were like chickens with blood, running towards the fortress risking their lives. I was tired of stopping the evil creatures. It took a lot of time. By the time I realized something was wrong, the Imperial Guards from Kyoto had already arrived in Youzhou, burning, killing and looting, leaving blood everywhere."
" Ning Wei said King Wei. You opened Youzhou Pass just to admit refugees into Youzhou," Zuo Chen said.
“That bastard can really put some money on my face.” Li Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: “I really can’t spare the manpower to guard the pass. Most of the Imperial Guards in Kyoto are heading to Youzhou again. Just run and break through the level. What kind of switch is there to let people go? It seems that I am so noble. To put it bluntly, my skills are not as good as others."
Zuo Chen didn't answer.
The difference between other people's descriptions and the facts is indeed quite large.
“There are three types of imperial guards from Kyoto. The first type still has reason, but can’t speak clearly. It seems like their tongues were cut. They are the smallest in number. They stopped the leader of thieves from Kyoto, but they persisted. Within three days, he was banned from other The army was wiped out.
"The second type's character changed drastically. They changed from soldiers who abided by the rules to burning, killing and looting thieves. They wantonly indulged their desires, killing and setting fire, raping civilian women, and using gold and silver. Arm yourself with jewelry. This group of people is the largest, so it’s hard to say how troublesome they are. The bones of their soldiers were scattered, and the real and serious troops would disperse when they touched each other, entering the mountains and forests and turning into bandits.
"The third category is the most troublesome."
Li Ji paused for a moment, Zuo Chen could clearly see that even the mighty king galloping on the battlefield had something in his eyes. A hint of fear:
"They have been completely alienated. I once took off their armor with my own hands and discovered what kind of human beings were under the iron shell. It was clearly a ball of rotten flesh twisted together.
"To this day, I still feel I don't know what words to use to describe them. Angry torch? A frustrated lunatic? Just a huge flame burned the entire Kyoto, and also burned several large states near Kyoto.
“The hardest-hit areas were Youzhou and Yuzhou. This battle was fought from the border of Youzhou all the way to the hinterland of Youzhou, and then back from the hinterland of Youzhou. There were corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood. That's too small.
"We fought for a long time, many people died, and we almost lost our lives several times. Finally, I went into the mountain and begged Lao Liu to come out and asked him to start a ritual. I carved a huge stone ball and chased it all the way from Youzhou to Youzhou Pass, and finally killed all the forbidden troops. This confused battle ended inexplicably. "
Finally finished telling this long story, Li Ji sighed: "After killing the bandits, I wanted to go to Kyoto and ask my brother face to face what happened, but I arrived in Kyoto. It was later discovered that Li Zhao was bedridden and could not even speak a complete sentence.
"At that time, the prime ministers asked me to stay in Kyoto and take charge of the overall situation, but after all, the northern fortress still needed people to guard it. I had no choice but to decline the matter, and they found Prince Jing and asked Prince Jing to guard the world for ten years. Later, After the new little prince was established, Prince Jing returned to Yuzhou."
"Prince Jing didn't take the opportunity to seize the throne?" Zuo Chen asked curiously.
"Prince Jing is from the same generation as me and Li Zhao. He is a few years younger than us. His reputation and virtue are not much weaker than Li Zhao's, but his wrist is too weak and he has no qualifications to be a king. Thinking about it, it’s hard for him to carry the mess for ten years.”
After listening to Li Ji’s words, Zuo Chen nodded, and then fell into thinking.
I have to say that in the fifty or sixty years since the death of the capital, there have been a lot of doubts.
During this period, Daliang had a total of four generations of emperors. The earliest old emperor was Li Ji's grandfather. He was a serious man and had a relationship with the capital, which created an inextricable relationship between the capital and Daliang. At that time, everything seemed normal. , this beam is not that bad.
In the second generation, Li Ji's father was considered normal at the beginning and did not do anything strange. However, in the middle period, he suddenly used the entire power of the capital to kill the capital.
He looked crazy when he was about to die, and it sounded like he had been given a prescription by something.
Then the question arises, when did his madness begin?
Before killing the capital, or after killing the capital?
This madness is like a curse left behind, passed down from generation to generation to Li stepbrother Li Zhao, and from Li Zhao to the Kyoto Forbidden Army.
It doesn’t feel like a head-lowering technique, but more like some kind of great plague that has infected Kyoto’s mind.
The last question is:
Will this "great plague" continue to spread and appear on this new little emperor?
It’s still unclear, but Zuo Chen always feels that this might be the case.
After dealing with the matter in Youzhou, we need to investigate Kyoto as soon as possible.
"That's all I can think of about Kyoto. If you want to know more, sir... you can go to Yuzhou to find Prince Jing. He is more concerned about this matter than me. Let's talk at hand. No aniseed."
Zuo Chen nodded.
Drinking tea, there was no other sound in the room for a while.
After thinking for a while, Li Ji suddenly said:
"When does the Taoist plan to leave for the north?"
"Leave early tomorrow morning."
"That's it." He seemed to have made up his mind: "I have experienced something before. This matter has something to do with this heavy fog, and it also has something to do with Hu Wen. I don’t know if Taoist Master wants to hear it.”
After hearing this, Zuo Chen thought for a moment:
“Wei. Does Wang mean the fox fairy blood in Hu Wen’s body?”
Li Ji's palm trembled slightly, and he accidentally touched the teacup placed aside. The teacup tipped over, and the tea flowed out from the middle of the teacup and spilled onto the table.
Ignoring wiping the table, Li Jim had a trace of surprise in his eyes:
"Sir, when did you find out?"
"The first time I saw Hu Wen, I saw him. There was something unique about him, like a fox. I was in a dense forest and surrounded by fox fairies, so I thought I had misjudged it when there was fog on the boat some time ago, and I realized that the fog was green. What Qiu Xian did was related to the vague Taoist tune that Hu Wen heard, so he had some conjectures at that time. "If you want to confirm it, it will have to be the words you, King Wei, muttered during the day. . ”
After hearing Zuo Chen's explanation, Li Ji sighed: "Sir, you are indeed amazing. What I am going to say is indeed related to Hu Wen. I also hope that you will promise me something."
"Please tell me. . ”
“Don’t tell Hu Wen about this. He has a stubborn personality. Although he doesn’t say it on the surface, if he really knows his life experience, I’m afraid he will be uncomfortable for a long time.”
“I know it well.”
After hearing what Zuo Chen said, Li Jicai began to introduce Hu Wen’s affairs:
"The evil ghost from Kyoto that I had just defeated with Lao Liu was planning to return to the northern fortress. Taking a shortcut, the team walked to the road in the dense forest. Halfway through the road, a heavy fog suddenly rose, trapping us. In the woods. One of my adjutants accidentally stayed in the fog for a long time and fell asleep. He was slapped several times before he woke up.
"Fortunately, Lao Liu is a master of martial arts and has a wonderful technique. A long road has been opened for us to move forward. Following the fog, we found a lake.
“I can’t remember what the lake looks like. I just feel peaceful and surrounded by trees.
“In the middle of the lake, there is a precious jade. In the middle of the precious jade, there is a little white-furred fox curled up. "
"Is that Hu Wen? " Zuo Chen asked.
"That's Hu Wen." Li Ji nodded, "Liu Xian melted the white jade with fire and released the little fox from it. As a result, after the little fox saw the air, he turned into a baby in the blink of an eye, loudly Crying.
"He had a longevity lock wrapped around his neck, with the word 'Wen Jia' engraved on it, so I took out a separate word and called him Hu Wen.
“The main reason why I’m telling you this now is that there’s a heavy fog outside. It’s almost exactly the same as the fog we saw in the dense forest, and it can also make people fall asleep. It’s just that the fog that year It’s not strong, I can handle it just by relying on Lao Liu’s methods. This dream is too big now, big enough to swallow up Daliang.”
Li Ji finally finished his words.
Crystals surrounding the fog...
Qingqiu Immortal's Great Dream Technique...
From virtuality to reality, Hu Wen has always heard the tune from the far north...
Zuo Chen already has it in his mind I have some ideas, but there is no evidence, so I can only hide them in my heart.
No wonder Hu Ni’s little one likes Hu Wen so much. I’m afraid her little nose sniffed out Hu Wen’s original bloodline.
If Zuo Chen guessed correctly, Hu Wen should be from the relatively pure lineage of Qingqiu Immortals. His current transformation into human form should not be due to the art of transformation, but has been completely different since birth.
After finishing talking about the business, Zuo Chen chatted with Li Ji for a while, then got up and planned to leave and go to rest.
Just as he was about to leave the hall, Zuo Chen suddenly felt something and turned his ears slightly.
The weird little tune floating in his ears became clear at this moment.
It seems to be getting closer and closer to the fortress from the due north.
……
Hu Wen, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, slowly frowned.
He had fallen asleep and slept deeply.
Hu Ni, who was sleeping next to him, seemed to suddenly notice something. She woke up suddenly, straightened up from the bed, looked around, then ran directly to Hu Wen's face and stretched out her hand. Two small animal claws slapped Hu Wen's face:
"Wake up! Lang Jun! Wake up!"
Hu Wen's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He got up, but there was still no sign of waking up.
The little fox slapped him several times, but Hu Wen still didn't move at all. He burst into tears and jumped out of bed in a hurry, planning to go find Zuo Chen to save his dear husband.
But as soon as she ran out of the compound, her eyes were attracted to the north.
She saw huge clouds like waves, pressing towards the fortress.
It's like...
The sky is tilting down!
