Three days later, Fang Junfeng and Xie Yu gave birth to Gaochang City.
One of the two armored vehicles originally promised had some temporary problems and was still being repaired, so it was not allocated. The one I got was brought back from Mengjiatun, and fortunately it has been repaired. The people were indeed those more than a hundred soldiers, and Chang Qiuwu was among them.
It was late spring and early summer, and outside the city of Gaochang were all green fields. At the end of the line of sight was the Rudaiyuan Mountain that was close to the ground, as if a high wall was guarding it from the west. Farmers are working in the fields, and occasionally someone sings in a soothing and distant tone.
Chang Qiuwu sighed on the horse and said: "Linxi is really a good place. It was not affected by the war during the war. Now the entry of monsters is blocked by a sword city. The people here have not seen it for hundreds of years. It’s a big war.”
After a while, Fang Junfeng said: "I didn't expect Mr. Chang to come out with us."
Chang Qiuwu said with a smile: "I am of no use to Linxi Lord. Aren't useful people like Mr. Meng left behind? This time the Linxi Army improved armored vehicles, and it is said that Mr. Meng made great contributions. But it’s okay, he is obsessed with the art of mechanism, and now he has got what he wanted and has a place to use it.”
Fang Junfeng said: "I didn't expect that Fang Yu didn't come out with us."
Chang Qiuwu thought about it and smiled: "A good bird should choose a tree to roost in."
Fang Junfeng sneered.
The three of them marched in silence for a while, and Xie Yusheng couldn't help but said: "I can't figure it out. What's going on with Li Shengyi? We are all just unknown people. Why does he have to send us far away when he is a master of Linxi?" When I first came here, I thought he was a good person."
Chang Qiuwu glanced at him and was slightly startled: "Don't you two know yet?"
Fang Junfeng and Xie Yusheng felt that they had become the least informed people in the world, so they could only ask: "What do you know?"
Chang Qiuwu said: "The prince defeated the demon army in the north. Emperor Gao granted the prince the marriage to Princess Changlong. He also gave the prince the title of Grand Champion of the Gao Kingdom and recognized his status as a member of the Li Kingdom - do you think about what this means? "
The two of them were shocked: "Huh? Is there such a thing?"
Fang Junfeng blinked: "Then doesn't this mean... Oh, Emperor Gao has never recognized Li Shengyi's status as a member of the Li Guo clan before."
Xie Yusheng patted the saddle on the head and said: "I understand! So now the monarch is the orthodox of the Li Kingdom. Logically speaking, none of us should be called the monarch, but the one who should be called the general - who is Princess Changlong? "
Chang Qiuwu said: "It is said that she was the prince's previous wife, and they were separated due to the war."
Fang and Xie didn't know what to say for a moment, and they didn't expect that Li Bochen in Mengjiatun had already been married to the royal family of Gao.
"Is that why Li Shengyi wants to clear out all of us Junhou's old men?" Fang Junfeng frowned, "But what about Fang Bao? Speaking of it, he is the one who has followed Junhou the longest. I heard that Tao Gong and Miss Tao also worked with Junhou It’s old.”
Chang Qiuwu looked at the two of them again, seeming to think of something, but he didn't want to speak.
Xie Yusheng said: "Mr. Chang, we are all sent out, what else can't we say?"
Chang Qiuwu smiled and said: "Okay...the two generals don't come from aristocratic families, right?"
Fang Junfeng didn't speak, and Xie Yusheng smiled and said: "We are not that lucky. We were drafted into the army, and we were all small soldiers before we met the princes - Lao Fang is the commander of the carriage, can he barely be regarded as a small official?"
Chang Qiuwu said: "Heroes don't care about their origins. I don't mean anything else by asking. I just want to say that the two generals are not from aristocratic families, so they are less sophisticated and have more upright temperaments. They may not like to do things in the camp. "
Xie Yusheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this meant. Fang Junfeng let out a soft sigh.
Xie Yusheng said: "What do you mean?"
Fang Junfeng smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chang, are you saying that during the month when the two of us were sitting in the tent, others went to see the prince and expressed their loyalty?"
Chang Qiuwu nodded.
Xie Yusheng said: "Fuck."
Chang Qiuwu laughed: "Do you two regret it?"
Xie Yusheng said: "I mean, how much did Fang Cheng, the turtle grandson, have to pay to Li Shengyi to be retained and stand next to that Li Ding?"
Fang Junfeng shook his head and smiled: "I can't imitate him, and I have nothing to regret. However, being sent out may not be a bad thing."
Chang Qiuwu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Exactly. The demon army was originally divided into three groups to attack. The east and middle groups had already occupied the Sui territory, but they were blocked by the Yehe River. On the other side of the Yehe River was the Gao Kingdom - Duye If the river breaks through the Ji Pass, the emperor will be in danger, so the four kingdoms of Gao and Xin deployed 800,000 troops by the wild river, determined to hold on."
"The west route is used as a surprise force to attack my territory of Li, and then use it as a stronghold in the world to plot further south, corresponding to the east and west of the remaining two armies. Now that the monarch has cut off the devil's path, there are only a dozen or so monsters left in the territory of Li. Ten thousand. When the situation at the wild river is stable, the Four Kingdoms will definitely send troops to rescue them. Although Li Shengyi cannot tolerate people, he is not an ignorant person. When the time comes and the soldiers of the Four Kingdoms attack from both sides, the hundreds of thousands of monsters will not be a concern. "
"We just need to find a place to stay first, then gather the refugees, accumulate food and build walls, and wait for the king to go south."
Fang and Xie looked at each other, and Fang Junfeng said: "Mr. Chang, I have no other intention - are you sure that Junhou will come back?"
Chang Qiuwu smiled and said: "With Beichen's blessing, you will definitely come back."
…
Li Shengyi sat on the couch in the house, looking at the three thin bamboos in the yard outside the window, and sighed slightly: "Uncle, did I do something wrong?"
Li Dingze sat on the wooden chair at the door and said, "This is not what your Majesty would ask me."
Li Shengyi smiled and sighed: "For more than ten years, I have been honest and aboveboard. Even if I use power, it is not for the gain or loss of one person. But now? Alas. I forced away two of Li Bochen's generals, and I did not retain Mr. Chang..."
Li Ding was silent for a moment and said, "Are you seeking personal gain for yourself?"
Li Shengyi slowly stood up, walked barefoot to the wooden platform in front of the door, and said in a low voice: "I don't know anymore. Before him, I thought that the surname Li had lost his luck in Beichen. I thought at that time, maybe I could First restore the rivers and mountains, then find the person who inherits the destiny and teach him to be the master of enlightenment - and then I will give up everything. I did think so at the time, do you believe it, Abo?"
Li Ding said: "Believe it. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't have followed you for so many years."
Li Shengyi smiled: "But now, since I know that Li Bochen may have Beichen's luck..."
He stretched out his hand and patted the corridor pillar again: "I feel unwilling to give in. I think of what my father once said to me - if someone thinks that he is not obsessed with power, then either he does not really have power yet, or There is no real threat."
"Perhaps Li Boxen is the real threat." Li Shengyi looked up at the sky, "It would be great if he didn't have any luck and was just one of my brothers."
Li Ding said: "Perhaps...he is indeed a secret spirit?"
"The people who returned said that a hundred-foot golden body appeared in the sky." Li Shengyi said, "That is not the appearance of a secret spirit. And the demon army on the West Road was defeated... Do you believe that one person can do this?"
Li Ding thought for a while and then said: "But the bead that Miss Tao brought back... said that Li Bochen entrusted it to her at the critical moment of life and death, and that the real Beichen's luck was attached to it. How has your Majesty been doing your research recently?"
"This is what makes me angry." Li Shengyi said, "I don't think I have treated Li Bochen badly. I even wrote a letter, implying that if luck is with him, I will hand over the great cause to him sooner or later. I once thought he was also a An upright hero...but he pretended to entrust that thing to Miss Tao. Don't you, me, and Miss Tao all think that there is Beichen's luck on that bead? But it turned out to be a deception and a delaying tactic on his part."
Li Shengyi was silent for a moment, asked his tone to slow down, and then said: "And he has been married to the Gao family and the Sui family. Uncle, how many times has the Gao family shown favor to me over the years? But I don't want to entrust Li Guo's great power to the country. In the past, he declined every time. If luck really lies with him... If such a person becomes the leader of the country again, I'm afraid that the Li family's country will really fall here!"
"So your Majesty expelled his people." Li Ding said, "It can be said that it was because of anger, but not necessarily because of selfishness. But, has your Majesty thought about what to do in the future?"
Li Shengyi smiled: "I haven't thought about it. But do you know what I am thinking now? I am even thinking - even if there is no Beichen luck on that bead, but there is a secret spirit attached to it, as long as it can help me repeat Li Guo’s mountains and rivers, I am also willing to do so!”
Li Ding hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
Li Shengyi waved her hands and sat on the wooden platform. After a moment, he said: "Maybe this is God's will. But God's will is unfair. For more than ten years, I, Li Shengyi, have only wanted to help the country and let the people of Li State live and work in peace and contentment... I have governed Linxi for more than ten years, and the weather has been prosperous. I know better than Li Boxen. How to run a country and an army... If luck had already been on me, it had been on me... Sigh."
He closed his eyes for a moment, stood up again and said, "Tell me to be quiet."
Li Ding stood up, gave a salute, and slowly exited the door. When he was about to leave the hospital, Li Shengyi said: "Uncle, it's time to visit General Zhao. Tell him that it's best not to mention what was said in the account today."
Li Ding was stunned for a moment, then silently bowed again and exited.
