Chapter 834
"Everyone has seen the Tang army at the mountain gate?"
"It's too much!"
"For many years, the Han people have been oppressing us Miao people. The territory of the Miao people has been reduced again and again. The original Sanjiang land is less than half. As the leader of the Snake Spirit, I feel ashamed. I feel deeply sorry for my ancestors of all generations! But the court is powerful and the Miao people's territory is weak. For the livelihood of the people, I have to commit myself to make peace!"
When Miao people from Jiuxiang and Shibawu heard this, they all had tears in their eyes. Since the unification of the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty, hasn’t the people of Miaojiang lived like this? It turned out that the leader was not sure about it, but he was enduring humiliation!
Dugu Jiu resisted his eyes and did not roll his eyes. The eldest brother's acting skills are not acceptable, and it is really getting better and better.
"If you want to live a life, there is no more sadness than this. But I never expected that the despicable and shameless Tang people would have a monster like Li Mu. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was stupid and appointed such a slander. He was stacked with heavy taxes. Now we Miao people have to pay money as long as we walk out of the village - for the sake of the name, tolls! Is this still a living thing?!"
"Can we still live on such a day?!"
"No! No! No!"
Everyone shouted loudly, whether it was Bai Miao or Wu Miao, they were united in the same hatred for the enemy at this moment.
Li Mu threw Cui Yuzheng's body to the ground, pulled his hair, and made him kneel straight: "The person who kneels on the ground is Li Mu, the Marquis of Luoyang who has made countless tycoons and taxes to make us the Miao family live a bad life. He came to Miaojiang this time, and he was ordered by the emperor to take advantage of the Ruosou Festival and the Nine Townships and Eighteen Docks gathered here, and then the court can completely assimilate Miaojiang. If this treacherous plan succeeds, there will be no Miao family again and become Han people!"
Li Mu raised his arms and shouted: "Can we Miao people accept this kind of thing?!"
"No! No! No!"
Just as everyone was united, a disharmonious voice suddenly sounded: "The leader atones for his sins... You are also a Han Chinese!"
"Han people!" Li Mu laughed loudly: "What a Han people! Although I am a Han people, I am the lord of Miaojiang selected by the Snake Spirit. From the moment I became the leader of the Snake Spirit, who dares to say that I am not a Miao person? Since you doubt me, then good!" Li Mu stretched out his hand and Dugu Jiu handed him a scimitar that was found from the man in brown. Li Mu drew his sword and unsheathed it, raised his sword and fell, and Cui Yuzheng's head fell to the ground.
The scene is quiet.
"I have killed the Luoyang Marquis of the imperial court. Now, do you trust me?"
Seeing this, Bai and Wu felt a sudden slap in their hearts. They were not young people who were deceived by Li Mu, and they could still distinguish between the pros and cons. They knew who Li Mu was, and they were secretly happy that the leader had captured Li Mu. Because if Li Mu was in his hands, they could use Li Mu as bargaining chips to negotiate with the court, and with the position of "Li Mu" in the heart of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even if they could not obtain benefits, they would definitely be able to resolve this crisis.
But now, the leader's sword fell and Li Mu's head fell. Things were about to go to the completely uncontrollable side. Li Mu was an undisputed important official in the court now. He died in Miaojiang and at the hands of the leader of the Snake Spirit. No matter how it was said, it was a declaration of war and was like a rebellion!
Even if it was just for the sake of the face of Tian Khan, the court would inevitably send troops. The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks last year and had good friends with the Western Turks. There were no equal enemies in the four realms. This year, most of the Central Plains were in good weather, with a bumper harvest, and when fighting, there was no shortage of food and grass. Although Miaojiang was a bumper harvest this year, how much surplus can the harvest of the mountain terraces be? Compared with the imperial court, it was like a drop in the bucket.
The Miao people, who had a total of only 400,000 or 500,000, compared with the million-dollar heroes of the Tang Dynasty, hit the stone with eggs and got the mantis arm as a chariot!
The leader’s move is simply a desperate act!
But at this time, everyone around was already ignited by Li Mu's words. If they said what they were in their hearts, there was no need for Li Mu to speak, and everyone around them could swallow them. The two old men who had never dealt with for half their lives rarely reached a tacit understanding at this time.
The two of them didn't show any expression and started shouting with everyone.
"Today I kill this beast, I want to tell the Tang people. The people in Miaojiang should not be bullied, and the Miao people should not be humiliated! Li Mu's traitors will not let us live, and we will never let him live. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is stupid and incompetent, so we will make him have a memory!"
"Today, Miaojiang has rebelled!"
The young people were excited and shouted hysterically: "Reverse! Reverse-"
Li Mu nodded comfortably and said, "Good men of Miao Village! Let's disperse first, go all over, eat well, and wait for dawn to retreat with our leader!"
"See the leader to the death!"
Li Mu winked at Dugu Jiu. Dugu Jiu took Cui Yuzheng's head, dragged his arm with his other hand, and pulled him away. The other secret guards also pulled one of them, cleaning up the body of the courtyard.
Soon, he found a secluded place. The secret guards worked together and quickly dug out a large pit and threw the corpse in. Li Mu unscrewed a fire twister, and the sparks were slightly red. Li Mu still put the fire twister on Cui Yuzheng's body, and his clothes were covered with tung oil, and he was caught in the sparks. The huge flames soared into the air, emitting a unique odor when the protein was burnt.
Li Mu squatted by the pit, watching the flames burning, and somehow, he suddenly wanted to light a cigarette.
Just when facing Cui Yuzheng, he was forced to a desperate situation. He was afraid of the mouse, and it seemed that he was wrong to do anything. But he died suddenly. A thought suddenly appeared in Li Mu's head. Could it be that God took care of every time traveler? Is this a treat as a halo of the protagonist?
As an opponent, Li Mu knew that he should not have any pity for Cui Yuzheng. But when he really died, Li Mu suddenly felt that Cui Yuzheng was also a poor person. He had not been able to live a normal life for a day from beginning to end in his life. He had never gotten what he wanted.
Li Mu still remembers that Cui Yuzheng ran out when he heard that Wang Ou was about to give birth. He could see that Cui Yuzheng was kind to Wang Ou and cared very much about this child.
It's a pity, it's a pity!
That's all for my feelings.
The enemy is the enemy, and the opponent is the opponent. Li Mu is not a saint, and he still has good thoughts towards the enemy. He just talks about the matter and feels a little bit of emotion.
"When the fire is extinguished, bury the pit."
After the feelings are over, it is over.
...
Back at the courtyard, the secret guard sent by Dugu Jiu brought the secret letter sent by Tang Jian. The direction of the matter was completely different from the agreement. Tang Jian is a little confused now and doesn't know what to do next.
Li Mu actually didn't know what to do. He just pretended to be Cui Yuzheng. His most basic idea was that the Miao people who blocked the door retreated first. He really didn't think about how to clean up the mess.
Don’t say that he is the fake Snake Spirit Sect Leader, even if he is the real Snake Spirit Sect Leader, he will not choose to rebel as he said. There is no possibility at all. Unless he really doesn’t want to live anymore, who would be so uneasy?
Moreover, Wang Ou has deep feelings for Miaojiang. She is unconscious now, so how could Li Mu bear to put her in a treacherous situation?
Li Mu thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines, handed it to Dugu Jiu, and asked him to send someone to Tang Jian to send it.
The rebellion has been shouted out. For the sake of the present, let’s finish the show.
...
When Li Mu guarded Wang Ou, she still didn't wake up. The child was already hungry. Fortunately, Wang Ou was prepared. She was afraid that her first child would not have enough milk, so she had already prepared more than a dozen nurses on the Snake Ling Mountain. They did not live in the courtyard, and what happened last night did not affect them. After the Miao people surrounding the courtyard dispersed, Li Mu asked Zhenyu to call the person over and feed the child a lot of milk.
"Please trouble you." Li Mu handed Wang Ou to Zhenyu and walked out of the house with a look of fatigue on his face. He made an appointment with the Miao people from Shibawu in Jiuxiang to retreat to the enemy at dawn. Now it's time.
"Brother, I think it's better for us to cooperate with the inside and outside. I have observed that the Miao people in Jiuxiang Shibawu also have leaders. If we control these leaders, the others will be a mess, which is not worth worrying."
"I know," Li Mu said while 'putting on his face: "It is of course easy to defeat these Miao people, but is it a solution to the problem? You kill all the leaders, Jiuxiang Shibawu is still there, and hundreds of thousands of Miao people are still there. They will soon choose a new leader and will not accept the court. On the contrary, they will also make a mortal enemy with the court because of this matter. By that time, the matter in Miaojiang will be even more difficult."
"Brother, I don't understand." Dugu Jiu had no need to hide anything in front of Li Mu: "The Miao people are just a little bit, and they are all in full swing, just like the population of our Luoyang City. Can our Tang Dynasty still be afraid of them? I don't believe it, do they really dare to rebel?"
Li Mu had finished putting on makeup, sorted out the costumes of the leader, and said to Dugu Jiu: "Love is not accumulated in one day or two days, and hatred is the same. Today, Miao and Han are so rifty, and the freezing three feet is not cold in one day. If this problem is not solved, the defense and suspicion of both sides will never stop. Cui Yuzheng is the one who sits on the verge of disarray and is indifferent to development. He has the responsibility, but it is not decisive. The one who really makes the situation look like this is his good brother. Just so happens that both sides need a punching bag and a step down. Now it is time to find this step."
Dugu Jiu had heard of Cui Yuyan and said, "That kid must have run away long ago. Miaojiang is so big, where can I go to find him? Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Don't worry, he can't run out anywhere."
Dugu Jiu didn't understand: "Brother is prepared?" After pausing, he asked again: "Besides us, brother has brought other people here?"
"Of course I didn't bring it," Li Mu smiled and said, "No need to guess, it was Pangda. After the beast tide yesterday, Pangda went to find Cui Yuyan. Don't worry, it won't be lost."
Li Mu was not lying. Yesterday, he used the skill of King of Ten Thousand Beasts. Pangda's experience value increased rapidly, and his level had exceeded 20. He just happened to be able to learn new pet skills. Li Mu happened to think of tracking Cui Yuyan, so he learned a "tracking" for Pangda. With this skill, as long as it is within a certain distance, Pangda cannot lose it.
It carried a stone on its body, and Li Mu could find him wherever it went.
The two brothers came out of the courtyard, and the Miao people from Jiuxiang Shibawu were already waiting. The Miao people who could come to get to Ruosou were all the best in the Miao villages. Each of them wore an iconic scimitar, but it did not represent the real weapon configuration of the Miao village. It is very likely that a Miao village would have just a few scimitars. But at least, the thousands of Miao people on Snakeling Mountain were fully armed.
"Today's battle may be the last battle. I can't let my men die in vain, so I will lead the way later. Even if I die, I will be the leader of the sect, and die before you!"
The Miao people burst into tears and shouted in tears: "Life and die together! Live and die together!"
Dugu Jiu brought the white horse in the brown-clothed man. Li Mu turned over the horse, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and pointed his hand: "Go away!"
The secret guard left half of the guards Wang Ou and the children, and the remaining more than ten people surrounded Li Mu and rushed down the mountain with the Miao people from Shibawu in Jiuxiang.
At the foot of the mountain, the Tang army had already formed a formation. Tang Jian was getting stronger and stronger, and also put on a military uniform, which looked quite like that. Seeing a group of people coming down from the mountain, Tang Jian ordered his personal soldiers: "Beat the drum!"
The drum sound was thumping, and every move shocked everyone's heart. Gradually, the beating of the heart seemed to have reached a certain fit with the drum beat, which made people's blood speed up.
"Who will come!"
Tang Jian cooperated with Li Mu's script according to the requirements of yesterday's secret letter.
"Snake Spirit Sect Master, Cui Yuzheng. Are you Tang Jian?"
If it weren't for the secret secret seal in the secret letter, Tang Jian wouldn't believe it, but the person in front of him was Li Mu. He was amazed in his heart, and the disguise technique was indeed a bit of a Taoist practice.
"I am the Duke of Ju, the Grand Governor of Shuzhou, Tang Jian. The rebellion of Miaojiang has been revealed, and the court has long noticed that the heavenly soldiers have arrived today. If you don't surrender?"
"Haha!" Li Mu laughed twice, pointed to a scimitar in his hand, and said, "A man with a tall head and an old thief, do you really think the people of Miaojiang are bullied? Let's take a siege for this leader, let's see the methods of this leader!"
After saying that, Li Mu led the man in brown clothes disguised as Dugu Jiu and others, and gathered less than twenty people, and rushed straight into the Tang army formation.
When Wu and Bai saw this, they all covered their faces. They had experienced the soldiers of the Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong who was in the Minjiang River. The Tang army was rigorous in the military management and was especially good at Modao fighting formation. The infantry battle was invincible at that time. Li Mu led more than a dozen people into the Tang army formation, and there was only one ending, that was, he was chopped into meat sauce by Modao.
I really didn't expect that the leader was such a brave but unscheming person!
