Chapter 280 Kyoto
These words were carved on the body with a knife. The internal organs could be seen through the skin, flesh and bones, and pus had even begun to form around the wound.
If this happened to an ordinary person, he would have died long ago, but she could still hold on for a long time.
However, after exposing these handwritings, the energy in the woman's body suddenly disappeared.
He fell straight in front of him and hit the ground with a bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Corpse manipulation and body control.
When the woman was not yet dead, this technique was completely hidden under her evil spirit. But after she died, he immediately destroyed her soul and controlled her body to perform a little show for Zuo Chen.
Someone cast a spell on her last night, carved words on her back with a knife, made her into a meat puppet, and sent her here today.
It was clear that he had prepared a malicious gift on the way to Beijing, just to disgust Zuo Chen and the others.
Li Ji's expression remained unchanged and he said directly to the soldiers beside him: "Find a place to bury her."
The soldiers quickly dragged the body away, and Li Jicai asked Xiang Zuo Chen:
"Taoist Master, what do you think?"
"What do you think?" Zuo Chen said with a smile: "These people in Kyoto It must be that Guizhou donkeys are too weak to fight you and me head-on, so they use this method to hurt people's hearts." "What the Taoist said is absolutely true." Li Ji nodded and said, "If they were really capable, they would have been on the road long ago. We are invited to a banquet, so why bother doing this? You are nothing to be afraid of, a dirty rat woman.”
Only those who are unable to confront her will find ways to set up obstacles to harm others.
Looking at the clouds in the sky again, Li Ji snorted in his heart.
How can dark clouds always cover the sun?
There will eventually be sunshine that can tear away all obstructions.
After disposing of the body, I was about to leave when I suddenly saw a few fast horses walking at the entrance of the street.
The people riding on it were all soldiers in armor.
The leader of them looked happy after seeing King Wei's motorcade. He hurriedly stopped his horse, turned over, walked forward quickly, and knelt down on one knee:
"Your Majesty, King Wei, I am here to prohibit the troops in Kyoto. I am here to serve as the general." I have been ordered to come here to greet you!”
Li Ji: “?”
The soldier in charge didn’t hear the response and looked up in confusion.
Why does King Wei look so strange?
...
This group of soldiers is really the Forbidden Army.
In order to avoid King Wei's misunderstanding, they specially took out the general's token to prove their identity.
The expressions of these imperial soldiers were as if they had eaten a mouthful of flies.
Unexpectedly, I was only a few steps late when someone pretended to be their own identity and came to show their respects in front of King Wei.
Are you messing with King Wei or them?
Hard to say...
Guarding them all the way, the Forbidden Army worked harder than the soldiers brought by King Wei, for fear of another accident.
Zuo Chen and others on the carriage didn't care, and even chatted about other things:
"Liu Xian and Hu Wen are still at Youzhou Pass?"
"The two of them are studying the gate on the northern plain. They forget to eat and sleep every day. They can't get through for the time being." Li Ji also felt somewhat helpless.
Liu Xian and Hu Wen were both obsessed with Tiangong Tao. Seeing the magical magic left by this ancient immortal was like a gambling ghost seeing a cricket fight. They couldn't even walk on the Tao, so they naturally declined. An invitation to go to Kyoto together.
“I originally invited my brother Li Yu to come, but he said that he had a lot of political matters to attend to and would have to wait half a month before arriving, so I didn’t force him to come.”
Zuo Chen nodded to express his understanding.
The situation is the same at Xiao Changcheng's side. Now that the Qingzhou Army has just been driven out of Xuzhou, the leader of Qingzhou has changed again. There is a big mess on both sides. Let alone leaving for Kyoto, this day will last until night I don’t care whether I can close my eyes or not.
In the end, only Li Ji, who spent three months to deal with the Jingzhou matter, was the one with the most free time.
We also talked about what was going on in Jingzhou and how Li Ji dealt with those Jianghu guests, and Li Ji answered them one by one.
Jingzhou is still managed by the original Chang Wang Li He, but the people around Li He have been replaced by Li Ji's confidants. Now Li He has no real power and can only think about his own happiness. , where they listened to music, drank wine and ate meat every day, and were occasionally forced to work in the fields. It was a "bitter life".
At least Li He thought he had a hard life.
The Jianghu guests were also dealt with in batches by Li Ji. The notorious ones were mining in the northern plains, while the chivalrous people were collected as retainers and managed uniformly.
However, Chang Wang Li He spent a lot of time on this group of Jianghu people, which also led to many "loyal and courageous" people who were completely like "son of a bitch, you are evil and do all kinds of evil, I will die with you." ! ”
Li Ji simply asked them to climb to the top of Qingqiu Mountain to take a look at the raging sea of suffering and see who was the bad guy.
No one in this group of charlatans made a sound, and they didn’t even dare to let out a fart.
It must be a disaster like this that will destroy the world.
After wandering for another day, the carriage slowed down.
The wind was strong last night and blew away all the dark clouds in the sky. Now it is the time when the sun is rising and everything is getting warmer.
Zuo Chen leaned his head out of the carriage. The sun was shining brightly and was dazzling, so he covered his brows with his hands and looked forward.
Not far away, huge cities are connected into a large area, and the sunlight shines slanting on the city, making it majestic and majestic. Kyoto,
Arrived!
......
Kyoto is so big that it is overwhelmed by the sky. This is not empty talk.
As Zuo Chen looked at it now, the continuous city-state in front of him was the largest city he had seen in the entire Liang Dynasty.
The continuous city wall stretches from east to west, with no end or end visible. The city wall is as tall as the Beiguan Pass of Youzhou Town, and it is not like a miracle created by humans.
“I have never been to Kyoto before, and I have never heard of the rumors here. I saw it for the first time today, and it is really heroic.”
Even if he had objections to the "rat woman" in Kyoto, Zuo Chen did not hesitate to praise the city in front of him.
There is no sin in creation, and it is nothing more than what is not yet completed. If the great achievements that have been built are destroyed again...
Wouldn't it mean that the people will suffer when it rises, and the people will suffer when it declines?
Li Ji also took a second look at the city and said:
“Yes.”
There were so many memories and melancholy in his tone, but he was thinking of all the past in Kyoto when he was young.
But he immediately stopped his overflowing thoughts and explained to Zuo Chen with a smile:
“Kyoto was built on the ruins of an ancient city, and this area is the largest in the vicinity. The plains where the founders settled down to rest and recuperate.
“But at the beginning, there was not a single city-state here, but seven large cities. These cities were built around the ancient city, with the center in the middle. There were a lot of frictions, and many wars were carried out during this period. It lasted for seventy or eighty years in bloody turmoil. In the end, our leader, Daliang, defeated other armies and unified seven cities. It was unified into such a big city.
“When you enter Kyoto today, you can still see the shadows of those remaining city-states. The descendant emperors of Daliang also divided the remaining city-states into different areas and named them according to their old names. They sent people to look after them.
"If you have time in Kyoto, you can visit these places. The customs and customs in each place are different, which is also strange and wonderful."
Zuo Chen kept Li Ji's suggestion in mind.
After being able to kill all the insects in the dirt, Zuo Chen naturally took a good stroll in Kyoto.
The carriage arrived at the gate of the city. General Wei Wang took out the door tag. The registrars guarding the gate looked at the long motorcade with a special look and moved out of the way. The motorcade entered the city smoothly.
The Imperial Guards approached the carriage and lowered their voices:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace. There are many people in Kyoto. Can you follow us to a small courtyard and follow the secret passage?"
Li Ji opened the curtain and smiled. Shaking his head: "My nephew wants to see his uncle, why are he going around so much? He is the emperor, who can listen to his head? Just go to the palace."
The Imperial Guard looked embarrassed, but he didn't Know how to persuade King Wei.
Even if I don't take Prince Wei with me, I'm afraid that the other party will go to the palace on his own. He can only lead the way from the front and send people to report the news to the general in advance so that the general can prepare in advance.
Especially when the carriages and horses are moving forward, heading straight to the palace, there is a huge momentum on the road. A lively Kyoto street is automatically divided into two. The stalls retreat to the front of the market, and the pedestrians retreat to the stalls, forming a conscious He walked along the carriageway and looked at the long queue:
"The convoy of King Wei!"
"So majestic!"
"If you don't say that he is besieging Kyoto in the north, what does it mean to enter the capital now?"
" After all, he is a feudal lord, so how can he really break into Kyoto City? That would be against his ancestors!”
The noise and discussions continued until the convoy reached the palace. He went there and passed the human wall of guards before leaving the noisy discussion behind the carriage and drifting away.
Entering the palace in such a grand manner, I am afraid that within half a day, everyone at the wine table will be talking about it and guessing what King Wei will do when he enters the palace.
Li Ji’s purpose was exactly the same.
Be fair and aboveboard, let the whole Kyoto know that he is here, and leave those rats with nowhere to hide.
It is afternoon now. He has not gone to court. The little emperor is reading in the imperial study room and directs the carriage to go in that direction.
When we arrived at the entrance of the imperial study, carriages could not enter, so we had to walk.
This time, only Li Ji, Zuo Chen and Cai Yi met the little emperor. The others stayed in the motorcade to wait for the time being. After the three of them entered the compound, they immediately saw a middle-aged man with a goatee and neatly dressed. Standing at the door of the study, like a guard.
Li Ji laughed and walked up to him, hugging the middle-aged man into his arms. This meticulous man was at a loss as he didn't know whether to put his hand on Li Ji's back or simply hang it down. .
Fortunately, Li Ji's enthusiasm only lasted for a few seconds before he hugged Zuo Chen and introduced him:
"This is the general of Kyoto, Zhou Yong. It's me. "Old friend."
General Zhou Yong nodded stiffly, respectfully accepting the title of "old friend."
"How many people are waiting for you in His Majesty's study?" Zhou Yong said, opening the door behind him, and a group of people filed in and arrived at the huge study.
Entering it, there was a young man sitting, followed by an old eunuch.
Li Ji introduced: "This is my nephew, the Emperor of Liang, Li Rongxuan."
Zuo Chen said nothing and just stared at the emperor.
This emperor...
No energy at all?
