Chapter 2767: Taiyi Zhenren and Li Jing
Seeing that Yang Guang committed suicide without hesitation, Li Jing was stunned. He wanted to say that he did not mean to humiliate Yang Guang, but it was meaningless.
"Lord."
The guards who persisted until the end were naturally loyal to Yang Guang. Seeing that Yang Guang had committed suicide, they were unwilling to live. They all committed suicide and followed Yang Guang.
Gao Qiao, who suffered several stab wounds, was also moved by this tragic spirit and was about to kill himself with a sword, but was stopped by Li Jing with a hidden weapon.
"Prime Minister Gao, I'm sorry, you still have value, I can't let you die like this."
Li Jing said calmly, and then knocked out the seriously injured Gao Qiao with a knife.
Gao Jiong's utilization value is not small. In addition to his status as the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, he is also the head of the Gao family. Gao Huan, Gao Gao, Gao Siji and other famous generals are all his juniors.
According to the information from Heibingtai, although Gao Huan was well hidden, his ambitions have been revealed. Once Yang Guang is gone, Yang Shuang alone will definitely not be able to suppress him. At that time, it is very likely that he will come from the Sui Kingdom. Be independent.
Even though the Sui Kingdom completely lost Xiliang, it was still the overlord of the Western Regions and its power in the Western Regions was still strong.
In the past, Da Qin and the Western Regions were not bordering each other, so it was difficult to directly intervene in the Western Regions. Therefore, they could only rely on wooing local forces in the Western Regions to curb the expansion of the Sui Kingdom in the Western Regions.
But now that the Qin Dynasty is about to occupy Liangzhou, and after bordering the Western Regions, it has opened up the Silk Road and spreads its influence to the Western Regions. Naturally, it will not allow the Sui family to dominate.
The situation in the Western Regions is too chaotic and complicated, and the future focus of the Qin Dynasty is on the Central Plains, and it is unlikely to send troops to the Western Regions. Therefore, the best way to prevent the Sui State from dominating the Western Regions is to let it internally act on its own, just like it did with the Manchus and Yuanmeng. Divide and kill each other.
Gao Jiong was the best pawn to drive a wedge between the Sui Kingdom and force Gao Huan to stand on his own, so it was naturally impossible for Li Jing to let him die.
"King Sui."
Just when Li Jing was about to leave, a mournful roar came from the southwest, and then he saw a black-robed swordsman carrying a huge sword on his back. With lightning speed, he stepped on the shoulders of the Qin soldiers and rushed to kneel next to Yang Guang's body. Down.
"Protect the Grand Governor."
After the Qin soldiers reacted, they immediately formed a circular formation and guarded Li Jing in the middle.
After Li Jing saw the visitor's attire and the iconic giant sword, he naturally recognized the identity of the visitor. The visitor was Yang Guo, the Condor Hero who won the title of Five Ultimates in the Second Huashan Sword Competition.
Yang Guo was also a son of the Yang family and had a good personal relationship with Yang Guang. However, he did not like being an official, so he refused Yang Guang's recruitment. When he learned that Yang Guang was in trouble, he came to rescue him.
Naturally, Yang Guo did not come to the rescue alone. He was accompanied by two great masters, Cihang Zhenren and Lu Chunyang.
Yang Guang alone was concerned with whether the Sui Kingdom would split. The Taoist Taiqing sect, which was resolutely anti-Qin, and the Buddhist Xitu sect, naturally did not want to see Yang Guang die, so they also sent people to rescue him.
However, when the three of them were walking halfway, Da Qin sent someone to stop them in advance, and the people blocking them were none other than Master Qingxu and Master Taiyi.
After seeing Taiyi and Qingxu, Cihang was suddenly shocked and asked Taiyi: "Damn fat man, didn't you accept the call from Emperor Qin and go to the Central Plains to take charge?"
Taiyi hated people calling him fat the most, but Cihang, who called him this time, could only suppress his anger and pretended to be calm: "Sister Cihang, do you only pay attention to the war in Guanxi and not the war in the Central Plains? Since we appear here, it means that the Central Plains no longer needs us to be in charge."
When Cihang and Lu Chunyang heard this, they looked at each other and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes. Although Taiyi's sentence was not long, it contained a lot of information, so they had to think too much.
No matter how Cihang tried to test him, Taiyi just kept silent. Seeing that Cihang couldn't get anything out of the question and didn't want to waste any more time, the two sides naturally started fighting.
But both Taiyi and Qingxu were superior in skill to Cihang and Lu Chunyang, so they could only hold them back to create opportunities for Yang Guo.
Although Yang Guo got rid of the interception, it was still a step too late. When he arrived, Yang Guang had already committed suicide.
"Let's disperse first. This is the Condor Hero Yang Guo. He will not harm me."
Li Jing waved off the guards with great determination, cupped his fists at Yang Guo and said, "Master Yang Guo, I have admired you for a long time."
Li Jing still admired Yang Guo, a hero who had been silently doing justice and selfless dedication, not for money or fame, so he gave him extremely high courtesy.
Yang Guo glared at Li Jing angrily and said: "The Sui King was the first to open the imperial examination, which opened the way for promotion for poor families in the world. His contribution will last forever, but you, Li Jing, forced him to death. Li Jing, you will definitely be despised by the poor families in the world."
Li Jing didn't care at all about Yang Guo's heart-wrenching remarks and said calmly: "Yang Guang did have his merits, but merit is merit and fault is fault. If he didn't issue an order to relieve the Qiang, Li would really not dare to touch him. , but who asked him to seek his own death?"
Opening the imperial examination for the first time was equivalent to giving Yang Guang a golden life, giving him an excellent reputation among the Ming Dynasty and the poor family. Even Ying Hao would consider his reputation and treat him well.
But when he issued the order to relieve the Qiang, he took the initiative to break this golden body, so Li Jing would naturally no longer have any scruples.
Yang Guo suddenly fell silent after hearing this, not knowing how to refute it. After he learned about it, he couldn't believe that Yang Guang would do such a stupid thing as breaking the golden body, but this was the fact and there was nothing he could do about it.
After a long silence, Yang Guo sighed, clasped his fists and begged: "Grand Governor, although King Sui made mistakes, he has paid the price. Please allow me to collect his body and bury him in a secluded place. He may rest in peace.”
"I don't need to worry about this, Master Yang. As for the burial place of King Sui, I have found it for him. It is next to the tomb of General Duguxin, the Canglang leader. I believe King Sui is also willing to share it with his." Grandpa is a neighbor.”
Li Jing didn't hesitate at all and directly rejected Yang Guo. After all, although Yang Guang was dead, his body was equally useful. How could Yang Guo, a ranger, ask him to leave with just a few words.
Yang Guo also didn't expect that everyone in Yang Guang was dead, but Li Jing didn't even let go of the corpse. A flash of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he made a low-spirited plea, but Li Jing still didn't respond, so he said coldly: "Big The governor really won’t give it?”
"No."
"Then what if I have to take it away?"
Hearing Yang Guo's words, a flash of contempt flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said lightly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to take away Yang Guang's body just by yourself."
"Then what if we are added to the list."
Two figures descended from the sky, it was Cihang and Lu Chunyang.
Lu Chunyang's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he did not hide his murderous intention towards Li Jing. As soon as he landed, he wanted to kill Li Jing, but was stopped by Master Cihang.
"Brother Dao, what does this mean?" Lu Chunyang asked puzzledly.
"Brother Lu Dao, if you attack Li Jing directly, you have crossed the line. When the time comes, we will not be able to bear the anger of Great Qin."
Although Cihang said this, he actually didn't want Li Jing to die, because Li Jing was Mu Zha's father, and Mu Zha was her disciple.
Mu Zha actually had two masters in the Yuqing sect, one was Master Puxian, who died to rescue Li Shimin, and the other was Master Cihang.
Although Mu Zha worshiped Samantabhadra as his teacher, he was not good at teaching and liked to wander around, so he entrusted Mu Zha to Cihang.
Muzha and Puxian were only masters and apprentices in name, but He Cihang was actually master and apprentice.
Cihang had rescued Li Yuanba before, and was deeply involved with Li Tang, so it was difficult to escape. But now that the situation in the world has become clear, she does not want to go all the way to darkness, and her apprentice Mu Zha is her last chance to clear her name. , of course she couldn't let Lu Chunyang kill Li Jing.
Lu Chunyang was a pure swordsman and didn't have so many tricks. He didn't know the relationship between Cihang and Li Jing. He only thought that Cihang was thinking about the overall situation, so he didn't take action again.
Cihang was relieved when he saw that Lu Chunyang didn't take action, and then smiled at Li Jing and said, "Captain Li, if we are included in the attack, I wonder if we can take away the body of King Sui?"
Before Li Jing could speak, another voice came, and then two figures fell from the sky, it was Taiyi and Qingxu.
"I'm afraid it's still not enough, junior sister."
After seeing the visitor, Cihang's expression suddenly changed: "You were trapped in my Liangyi Demonic Formation, how could you escape so quickly?"
"Sister, I think you are stupid because you are practicing Buddhist Kung Fu." Qingxu sneered.
"Junior sister, you said you were trapped by a demon. Senior brother, we are not demons." Taiyi pinched his mustache and smiled.
Cihang's face instantly became extremely ugly. He looked at Lu Chunyang and Yang Guo, said 'let's go', and then ran away with the two of them without looking back.
Li Jing saw this and did not send anyone to chase him. There are four reasons for this:
First, it is impossible to catch up;
Second, if great masters like Cihang were involved, they would be under the control of the Great Qin Enshrinement Hall;
Thirdly, he saw that Cihang intended to stop Lu Chunyang, and he might be able to win him over in the future, so there was no need to be too forceful;
As for this fourth point, it was just a bit of selfishness on the part of Li Jing. After all, Cihang was the master of his second son, so he naturally wanted to give her a chance, but whether he could seize it or not depended on Cihang himself.
When Taiyi and Qingxu saw that Li Jing did not pursue the case and instead let Cihang go, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had been brothers and sisters for decades. Even if Cihang had left Yuqing, they still had feelings for him. , naturally do not want Cihang to go to a dead end.
"Thank you two seniors for coming to the rescue. Li Jing is very grateful."
Li Jing clenched his fists and saluted the two of them. Regardless of their age and cultivation level, simply because these two were his son's teachers, they deserved his courtesy.
Taiyi patted his belly, revealing his round belly, and said sternly: "As a worshiper of the Great Qin Enshrinement Hall, I receive 500 taels of tribute from Great Qin every month. Isn't it natural for me to solve some minor troubles for Great Qin?"
Li Jing was startled, and thought to himself: Is there really someone who worships and worships the moon?
Since ancient times, among those who were poor in culture and rich in martial arts, and who could cultivate to the realm of a great master, no one was short of money.
It is precisely because the great masters are all short of money that since the establishment of the Great Qin Enshrinement Hall, it has only symbolically set up a monthly donation of 500 taels for enshrinement, but no one has ever received it. However, this practice was changed by Taiyi The real person was broken.
Looking at Taiyi Zhenren, who was two fatter than himself, Li Jing felt very confused and thought to himself: How did this fat man reach the level of a grand master?
While Li Jing was sizing up Taiyi, Taiyi was also sizing up Li Jing.
Taiyi Zhenren was already fat, and his eyes became a line when he narrowed his eyes slightly, but he still showed a hint of cunning. He thought to himself: "Master Yuqing Taoist has calculated that Li Jing's youngest son and Pin Tao are related as masters and disciples. Jin Zha Muzha Those two boys are both Li Jing's sons, so Li Nezha's qualifications should be pretty good.
The requirements for Pindao are not high, as long as their qualifications are no worse than Jin Zha and Muzha. "
Taiyi and Li Jing exchanged pleasantries without saying a word, hoping to establish a relationship in advance to prepare for future apprenticeships, and Li Jing naturally understood the meaning of Taiyi's words.
Although Nezha is young, he has already shown his naughty nature, and Li Jing is away from home all year round, so he cannot teach him, so he has long wanted to find a famous teacher to teach him, but he feels that the fat Taiyi is not reliable. Instead, he fell in love with Qingxu Zhenren, who was dressed in an immortal style.
Master Qingxu is Yang Ren's master. Looking at Yang Ren, who is both civil and military, you can see that Master Qingxu's teaching level is extraordinary. Li Jing hopes that Nezha will be a man of both civil and military skills in the future, rather than a reckless man.
Li Jing actually wanted Nezha to join the Shangqing sect. After all, the Shangqing sect had greater influence in Da Qin. However, after searching around the Shangqing sect's great masters, he could not find a suitable candidate to be his son's master.
As for Li Cunxiao, that reckless man, Li Jing never considered it at all. He would rather teach Nezha himself than let Nezha become his teacher. If Li Cunxiao taught Nezha, he would definitely be a reckless man in the future.
The two sons, Jin Zha and Muzha, have been taught a little crookedly by the Yuqing sect, and Li Jing is not absolutely sure that they can be brought back. If Nezha is taught to be a reckless man by Li Cunxiao, his military skills will be terrible. There really is no successor.

I underestimated the virus this time. This time it was even more severe than last time.
After the hydrotherapy treatment on the first day, the fever subsided and I was able to continue updating on the same day.
The author saw that the problem was not serious, so he did not go to the hospital for fluids the next day. As a result, he couldn't take the medicine at all. By noon, his throat felt like it was on fire, and even breathing hurt.
As expected, I had a fever again on the third day. I couldn't handle it anymore, so I went to drink water again, and prescribed other medicines, which made me feel better.
I had another blood test today. My throat is much better and it doesn't hurt so much. I will have another water test tomorrow. I should be able to hold it down this time.
There are quite a lot of people who have returned positive this time, and everyone must be careful. Try to wear a mask when traveling, and try not to be positive if you can. There may be sequelae and it will be annoying.
