Chapter 8 Politics (4)
Politics (III)
In the courtyard next to him, a dog heard the voices and made a few hustle sounds. The night walker on the tree shot a crossbow and shot straight into the dog's forehead. The people outside the wall only heard a whimper, and there was no movement anymore.
The lights of a family were on, and several pedestrians shouted loudly at night: "The government handles cases, so if you don't want to cause trouble, you will turn off the lights."
The lights suddenly went out and the whole street was silent.
The escort who was rushing to the carriage tilted his body and blocked Li Shanping behind him. Several escorts were close to the carriage. The mount was nervously digging the concrete road with his hooves, and just waiting for the owner to give a hint, he would rush through the crowd in front of him.
Li Shanping gently pushed away the escorts who were rushing to drive away the escorts and shook his head to stop the guards from further movements. The other party was obviously prepared and had little effect on forcing them. The successive explosions attracted all the officers and soldiers and defenders who were patrolling the night in the city. The interception locations, time and process were obviously carefully calculated, so clever that they were close to art. In the case of a huge gap, you might as well listen to the other party’s intentions, delay the time and act according to the opportunity.
"I am Li Shanping. I wonder if my brother Taifei is here to come to me for such a big deal."
The leading masked man saw a slightly haggard scholar in the car, and knew that this was the real owner he was looking for. He bowed to the ground very politely and said with a smile: "I have heard of the name of a scholar of Iron Billion for a long time. I have seen him today, and I am really happy for three lives. My master sincerely invites Mr. to visit Mobei for a lecture. I hope Mr. do not refuse."
Li Shanping shook his head slightly and replied lightly: "Li is a disabled person and is unable to travel far. He also told your master that Li really has his wishes, and the bitter and cold land in the north of the desert is not a place where Li can live."
The masked man's eyes flashed and there was no time. He didn't want to make it too stiff, and he still persuaded with a respectful tone: "My master has prepared a carriage outside the city. Sir, don't worry about the hardships of the journey. If we can get in, we can naturally go out. I hope sir, don't let the master down." The words afterwards have aggravated their tone, and a hint of murderous intent is faintly revealed.
Li Shanping smiled. If he was willing to cooperate with the Mongols, why would he suffer from this disability? Seeing this, the chief guard next to him coldly said, "You know why my elders are called Iron Bill Scholars."
"Who will forget the name of the Iron Brave Scholar? My master ordered me to come and invite you because he admired his husband's toughness." The masked man was very polite. No matter which side he was on, everyone would look up to those with integrity.
"Since you know the name of my master, you shouldn't come to persuade me to serve the Mongols. I think you'd better invite them back. The officers and soldiers who patrol the night are not far from here." The chief guard tried his best to be fearless, so that the other party would retreat when they saw the difficulties. It was speculated that the other party's purpose was to invite Li Shanping to Mobei alive, so that both sides would have room for maneuver. Once they fought, the sword would be without eyes and hurt the guests. It was estimated that the masked man would not have good results.
"Living in Mobei, I may not be a Mongol. My master's surname is Liu. He is the most serious Han family. He is the destiny of heaven. He is much more righteous than Zhu Yuanzhang's begging for the world. The master has admired the great wise men for a long time, but it is not convenient to come and invite him in person. If the gentleman goes, my master can entrust the position of prime minister, which is better than being angry with the birds under Zhu thief." The masked guest bit the word Liu clearly, implying that he was once the main leader of the Central Plains. "As for the officers and soldiers who were patrolling the defense, the gentleman thought they had the time to patrol the fire yaoku so that they still had time to patrol the night."
Both sides had already opened their cards and finished speaking the scene. Li Shanping had no choice but to rely on his life. On such a night, Jeon Beiping's eyes were attracted by the fire library. No one would have the energy to think of the violent explosion of the fire library. It was just one of several conspiracies. The enemy's real purpose was to hijack the stewards of the ordnance manufacturing and solve the problem of huge differences in martial arts once and for all.
"I admire you, your plan is indeed perfect. The person who planned this trap must be a genius." Li Shanping exchanged glances with the head of the guard, nodded as if he was praising his opponent, and opened another topic lightly. "If I guess well, the storm of the Beijing stock market will also be the participation of your master."
"Yes, sir is indeed a smart person. This is the plan of my young master. All those involved in the master's friends and old friends." The masked man showed off a little proudly. He made Peking such a miserable situation in one month, and the young master was really capable. The abandonment of this city is equivalent to digging the roots of the Northern Army. Taking advantage of the defects exposed in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, not only the stock market, money bank and banknotes will be destroyed, but emerging industries will also have to bear the blow. The people who have lost their work and have no land will cause trouble. The scholars who are dissatisfied with the new policy will naturally come out to exert influence, and the world will be in chaos. At that time, the master can make a comeback with the power of the Mongols. As the flag points, the people will win food and follow.
Li Shanping smiled again and continued to ask, "You have made a lot of money this time?"
"Of course, we made a lot of money by making money by wisdom and didn't steal anyone. Does Mr. Li think there is anything wrong with this?" The masked guest answered with confidence. In the past year, the stock market has been turbulent. Until now, he admires the cripple man in front of him and the legendary governor Guo. The world is so big. After all, only this place gives everyone a relatively equal opportunity to make money.
"Since the rules are made like this, no one can prevent your master from making money. The world is full of money, and it is all for profit." Li Shanping was not disgusted with the masked man's frankness. The stock market rules are set like this. You do not stipulate that no one can play except the people of the Ming Dynasty. Since others make money according to the rules, if you lose, you can only blame yourself for not doing the rules well and not accuse others of ulterior motives. The most important thing now is to use the rules to win back the lost property. Since both parties in gambling still recognize this rule, there is hope of winning. As the fat man Gao Deyong said: under the conditions of equal means, who is the capital that gambling compares.
"Since your master claims to be the lord of the Central Plains, he has moved a lot of money to Mobei, which seems to be inconsistent with his intention to conquer the Central Plains." The chief guard did not dare to stop the conversation. As long as both sides had topics, it would be difficult to turn against each other.
"This...", the masked man was a little embarrassed. It was naturally not the owner who could do it after making a fortune. He could not argue or explain this obvious passerby mentality. He coughed slightly to hide his anxiety. The masked man took out his hand clock from his arms and looked at it. Before he knew it, he had already spent too much with his opponent. This kind of verbal dispute may not be over until dawn. Once the defenders discovered it, he really attacked him. Even if all the people under his command were good players, he could not twist a few nails. Besides, the firearms there were not easy to meet. Thinking of this, he urged impatiently, "Let's go on the road quickly. The master is a wise king. When he arrived in Mobei, he would naturally give a acceptable explanation to the gentleman."
"Mingjun", Li Shanping snorted in his nose. Why are there so many wise monarchs these days? I really don't know who did the things that harm the people. "Mingjun, where is Ming? colluding with Japanese pirates, affair with Mongolia, hoarding grain, and storing money houses, these behaviors that have caused the people's family to be destroyed. Does Brother Tai think it was done by a wise monarch?"
"Mr. Li is dissatisfied with this. We might as well go to Mobei to talk. My master is a magnificent and will definitely listen to his opinion." The masked guest was eager to end the conversation and was accidentally stolen by Li Shanping, which has been delayed too much time. "What about this money? Even if my master borrows from the people of the Central Plains, everyone can endure the pain for a while. When my master unifies the world, everything will naturally be fine."
"It was the first time that Li heard this fresh saying, the Mongols invaded and the Japanese plundered along the coast, so the people would have to endure it." Li Shanping suddenly raised his tone, and his hoarse voice echoed between the heaven and earth: "Why can't you bear it for the momentary pain? Just for the so-called destiny of your master, for the fame and wealth of you madmen? Why?"
"We don't argue with you, we can't tell you. Anyway, the Zhu family is exhausted. It is God's will to unify the country by my master. Don't act against the heavens." Another masked man saw that the leader had lost for a while, so he quickly came up to help.
"God's will, do you know what heaven is. Heaven is the conscience of the people. It hurts the conscience of the people. I see which god and Buddha dare to bless you"!
The masked leader was speechless by Li Shanping, and he accidentally took a few steps back. Since he was a child, he learned loyalty and a real man with a three-foot sword to defeat the world. Even on Poyang Lake, he was not afraid of the hundreds of cannons from Xu Da Navy. For some reason, he was actually ruthless in front of this cripple today.
The guard saw that there was an opportunity. When his belly touched the horse's belly belt, one man and one horse came to the crowd like lightning. Several guards behind him tightly protected the carriage, and a whistle of people rushed past the opponent as soon as his opponent was distracted.
The screams were heard without realizing them. Several masked men could not help but be stepped on by the horse's hooves, and their tendons were broken. Pieces of blood mist rose up on both sides of the carriage, and the sound of the sabers slashing into the bones made people feel sour. In contrast, the sound of the musket was the most pleasant, and it sounded clearly on the streets.
The masked man should take into account the fact that the crossbow arrows were not allowed to be shot into the carriage. Although there were too many people, he would not take much advantage. Li Shanping's guard gun shot continuously, shooting the person who rushed up and pulled the carriage to the ground.
A few masked men who were not afraid of death rushed up and held the back edge of the carriage. The horses driving the shaft were urging to move forward with the escorts urging the carriage, and the horse's hooves stepped on white marks on the street.
After all, there were few people, and the muskets were fired quickly. Before they could load them, the guards began to intersect with their opponents. Several guards who were opening the way in front had already rushed out of the encirclement. Seeing that the carriage did not follow, they circled and killed them again.
"Xiao Yuzi, go and call someone to help, saying that Mr. Li is in trouble." The chief guard raised his hand and chopped down the masked man who was put on the opposite side of him, and shouted at a guard who had killed him. A steel knife cut on his back while he was distracted. He groaned and rushed forward a few steps. The chief guard lowered his body, swung his sword light, and cut off the attacker obliquely.
The guard, known as Xiao Yuzi, was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and took the war horse, turned around and panicked, and several crossbow arrows caught up with him and penetrated his back. He shook on the horse's back, gritted his teeth and fought desperately. The war horse also knew that it was urgent, with four hooves flying, and a string of sparks rushed into the darkness.
"Save Mr. Li", the chief guard threw the long sword in his hand out, and the spiraling sword light passed by a masked man rushing towards the carriage. A steel knife was inserted into his lower abdomen from the side. The captain who killed him was about to draw his sword out, but suddenly it turned black and was held by the chief guard with all his strength and pressed onto the concrete road. The two rolled around in a pool of blood, clattering in their throats.
"Mr. Li is in trouble." In the dark courtyard wall, a man suddenly shouted with all his strength. Then he let out a muffled groan, and the masked man shot him.
"Mr. Li is in trouble..." Another voice ignored the danger of crossbow arrows and rang in the dark.
"Mr. Li is in trouble, save Mr. Li..." The voices rose and fell, making the masked people on the tree frightened.
"Save Mr. Li,...", the shouts are getting louder and louder, more and more.
"Save Mr. Li, and search the guys to fight with them. No matter who it is, you can't touch Mr. Li a cold hair." The door of a yard slammed open, and two workers smashed the forehead of the nearest crossbowman with oil hammers.
One crossbowman couldn't dodge and immediately his brain sprayed on the wall. The other just had time to tilt his body, and his shoulders were slapped and drooped softly.
Several crossbow arrows shot despicablely on the workers, and the workers wielding the oil hammer fell down unwillingly. Several large bricks smashed from the yard to the big tree, knocking down the person who was determined to release the cold arrows like frozen crows.
The streets were in chaos. The masked man standing high on the roof suddenly relaxed his feet and slipped down. Before he could land, several kitchen knives were waiting for him below.
The bricks and tiles falling like raindrops, the broken pots and bowls made the night walkers find that they can no longer understand the people of the Central Plains. The people of the Central Plains have changed and are no longer slaves who were slaughtered by others. They have become so brave and so fierce.
He had no time to think about this. Li Shanping's carriage had already dragged blood to the corner of the street in the chaos. The remaining two guards were unceremonious and chopped over the masked man who dared to intercept with their sabers. The horses who pulled the carriage were also fierce, and those who dared to stop the car were knocked out.
Li Shanping sat in the car, majestic, greeted him with both guns, and was never ruthless. A few dwarfs who rushed out were shot and killed on the side of the road before they could get close to the carriage.
"Ejaculate, live or die", a brutal order was issued by the Yexing people. If he couldn't get it, he felt that he could not leave it to others. When his master sent him here, he told him that if he couldn't invite the living, he would take the dead back.
My belly suddenly became slightly hot, and a piece of saber came out from the chest of the night walker.
Who is so bold to plot against me? He looked back and smiled at him with a face that was blown by the sea breeze and said, "Go to die, you should take a break."
"It's time to take a break" he fell softly.
The man with a sea breeze face rushed over with a group of brothers and rushed over to the masked man's men. The knife was long and short, but his movements were just as flexible. The workers who received support rushed out with all kinds of tools. The money was gone and the work was lost, but the backbone of being a human being was still there.
The masked man on the ground could not stand it and kept retreating. The masked man on the roof and the trees occupied the favorable terrain and faithfully carried out the leader's last order. The last guard fell under the cold arrow, and the guard who was rushing to the car was stuck like a hedgehog on the shaft, and he still never gave up his responsibilities when he died.
The carriage broke through the darkness and dissolved into the darkness again.
