Chapter 23 (3)
Li Yijie smiled bitterly and said, "Xuanshuang is so outstanding at such a young age. She is really a pillar of the world. When she grows up, she must be a pillar of the country. This is all well taught by the Emperor and Concubine Yun." Shen Shiyun sneered, "The contributions of your Li Qing family are indispensable. Don't you take the opportunity to ask for rewards?" Li Yijie said, "I dare not." Xuanshuang snorted, glanced at him with a slanted look, and returned to the chair to sit upright.
Shunzhi said: "Okay, General Li, I have appointed you as the commander, leading all the kings, generals and ministers, the army of the Eight Banners, prepare all the delicious dishes, and go to Taihang Mountain. Qingtianzhai is best to be recruited. If you insist on resisting, you will be wiped out on the spot and will not be forgiven! General Li, have you heard clearly?" Li Yijie held his hands against each other, slowly raised it to his chest, and replied word by word: "Last general, receive the order!" Shen Shiyun said: "Very good, go now, we are waiting for the good news."
Li Yijie walked out of the Ganqing Palace with sorrow and led the generals to the road. The high-ranking person contemptted him, thinking that he had never had any experience in leading troops to fight, but now he took advantage of Concubine Yun to become the commander. He and others fought for half their lives on the horse, and they were all made in blood. Now they have to be sent by him. How can they be convinced? Although they are too lazy to make things difficult for him, they always ignore him, and they even have some selfish intentions to see him appearing ugly.
When the lower-level soldiers fight, they pay attention to a familiarity with each other and have always been incompatible with the new commander. They also regard Li Yijie's orders as a frank voice. The team is crooked. How could Taizu Ye be so arrogant when he first founded the Eight Banners of Manchuria? Li Yijie was excluded and was regarded as nothing by everyone, but he still had to bear the heavy blow of Shen Shiyun becoming selfish and cold. While thinking about how Yun'er could be like this, could hatred really swallow people's hearts completely?
Taihang Mountain is located near the capital and arrived in less than a day. Li Yijie stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up. He saw that the mountain was composed of various rock structures, with continuous mountains and obvious faults on the east side. Many areas formed a thousand-foot cliff wall, and the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As the leader of the martial arts world, he just moved his mouth and gave orders in the same place. He had never really led troops to fight. He couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Ji Du saw through his thoughts and sneered contemptuously. This aroused Li Yijie's arrogance and said, "Prince Jian, the mountain road is not long. I guess we should reach the peak if we travel for another half a day. What should you do when you say it?"
Ji Du sneered, "What else can I do? If I refuse to surrender, I will beat him to admit defeat. Is Li Dashui afraid?" E Shuo said in a strange voice: "I heard that Li Dashui and Lu Da, the head of Qingtianzhai, are old acquaintances. Could it be that they are not willing to take action against him?" Li Yijie said seriously: "Lu Qian and I have long lost our kindness to each other. We will never be sympathetic to the bandit leader for the sake of making friends in the past. You can be assured." Ji Du said, "It turns out that Li Dashui is such a gentleman who turns against others?"
Li Yijie deliberately ignored it and said, "I am ready to fight, so I will ask the generals for tactics seriously. Isn't it more useful to give me some practical suggestions than sarcasm?" Ji Du said, "What else do you want to discuss? Marshal Li, we are all people who have been through life and death countless times on the battlefield, unlike you who have 'there are some people in the court'. As for the strategy of defending the enemy, we are just a lively military book, with tactics full of your heart, and you can use them at any time when necessary. Anyway, someone will pave the way for you, just wait to pick up the ready-made ones, and you don't need to be false and worry about this."
Li Yijie suppressed his anger and argued: "But Qingtian Village is not a casual time..." The generals no longer paid attention to him, and bypassed the mountain on their own, leaving him alone standing in place.
Li Yijie was sweating coldly on his forehead. He kept rushing in his heart and thought to himself: "Everyone in the palace looks down on me. I must take this opportunity to settle Qingtian Village and make some achievements for them. I will negotiate with the leader of Lu Da Village later. As long as his request is not too excessive, I will try my best to agree to him. In contrast, the emperor hopes that I will convince them to surrender rather than fight. If he can respond to his wishes, Yun'er will be happy."
I had a certain idea and felt much more relieved. I looked up and saw that the team had gone far. I took a breath and used my light skills to hurry up. After a few steps, I caught up with Jidu who was walking in the front. E Shuo smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are running fast enough!"
Li Yijie thought of running this long road, but he was not breathless. It seemed that his light skills were not defeated. He thought that the generals were finally impressed and smiled. Just as he was about to say a few words of moderation, Ji Du sneered, "Don't you escape too much when facing the enemy, you have mastered a skill of applying oil to the soles of your feet?" Li Yijie was so angry that he rolled his eyes a few times, and was unable to fight anymore, and he was only holding a burst of fire in his heart.
Along the way, Li Yijie swallowed his anger and finally had peace. It was noon, and everyone finally reached the top of the mountain, and they were already sweating profusely. Li Yijie looked around and saw a large square on the top of the peak, with a large flagpole towering into the clouds on each side, hanging a handsome flag on it, waving in the wind, and waving with power. A magnificent palace was built in front of him, with a black wood and gold lacquer sign engraved with "Qingtianzhai". The pavilions were majestic and the Forbidden City were not low in scale.
At the opposite side of the flagpole, two teams of people stood guard in parallel, standing upright, holding a spear in their hands, looking straight ahead. No one had scratched itch or sweat. Generally speaking, there was no unnecessary movement, which seemed to be well-trained and intimidating. Li Yijie thought to himself: "It's no wonder that Qingtianzhai is the number one gang in the martial arts world today, and it really has its own uniqueness." He turned his head and said: "Prince Jian, please come forward and call, and ask the Lord Lu to come out and talk in detail."
Jidu sneered, "Who are you sending? Mr. Li, don't forget that you are the head coach. We all obey your orders. How to negotiate depends on you."
Li Yijie thought to himself: "Did you ever hear my order along the way? Now when things are difficult, I remember that I, the head coach, are here." This sentence turned a few times in my heart, jumped to the edge of my mouth several times, and finally swallowed it back and stepped forward alone. Without taking a few steps, the two minions standing side by side immediately waved their spears and put them on his neck, shouting: "Stop! What are you doing? How dare you trespass on Qingtianzhai?"
Li Yijie took out a red post from his arms, presented it with both hands, and replied respectfully: "Please go to the master of the Lu village. Let me say that my martial arts leader Li Yijie is hereby requesting an imperial edict to ask for his visit, and ask him to come as soon as possible to discuss something important." The minion glanced at the minion and said in anger: "Wait!" He turned to the hall to report. As soon as he left, the late-name minion immediately took the gun. Li Yijie held his hands and looked at the hall indifferently, not caring about the two long spears in front of his neck.
Jade Shuo said, "Master Li, do you pay quite etiquette to the Lord of Lu Dazhai?" Li Yijie said seriously, "Although Qingtian Village is the enemy, we are here by orders now, the necessary etiquette is indispensable. Don't let the bandits say that the imperial envoy of the court does not understand the rules." Ji Du said sternly: "You want to sell it to the bandits, this is not a problem, but if you lose the reputation of the Holy Emperor, I will be the first to spare you!" Li Yijie smiled bitterly, thinking that the two of them said differently and did not make plans, so why bother to talk more and just keep your eyes open and not answer.
After waiting for a few hours, the hall was still silent. Ji Du said angrily: "This bandit leader is such a big air! He actually left us here and was willing to spend the fun of the master! When he surrendered to the court, I will not twist his head off..." Li Yijie said: "Prince Jian, the two armies will not kill the surrendered generals when they fight, and they must not abuse the prisoners. Only by making a guarantee first can the bandits surrender to peace of mind."
Ji Du sneered, "Why does Marshal Li's elbow always turn outward? I didn't want to take Lu Da's boss seriously, but I just complained, and that won't work?" Li Yijie said, "The war has declined because of prosperity and decline, and it is often out of an unintentional statement. The leader of the Lu Da Village is narrow-minded. When he hears it, he will get angry and let down the emperor's good intention of seeking peace. Please ask Prince Jian to keep his mouth shut."
After another incense stick, the leader of the village, Lu Qiancai, surrounded by more than a dozen minions, walked out of the hall with his head held high. He was a thin young man in his twenties, but he was much more mature than his real age. He was wearing a chestnut floor-shaped robe, with a circle of red straps around his waist, and was made of brocade, making him with swords and guns. At the top of his arms, he was wrapped in a small red copper jacket. A vague light flashed in his eyes, which seemed to be straight into the hearts of others. He looked like a smart person.
This gangster who was terrified in the world was indeed a good example. Along the way, all the minions knelt down and bowed, saying, "See Lord Lu!"
Lu Qian shook his hand casually and said lazily: "No gift, no gift." He was full of tone, just like the emperor meeting his subordinates. When he arrived in front of Li Yijie, he grinned slightly, smiled politely, and bowed: "I don't know what good wind it is today. League Master Li, who can work leisurely in the court, went to my Taihang Mountains to visit. I was wrong and forgive me for my crimes. After years of separation, Brother Li was still so handsome and energetic, which is gratifying!" He pinched his throat and spoke. Although his tone was kind, it always made people feel uncomfortable.
Li Yijie bowed and said, "The Lord Lu is a reward, so are you. I heard that Brother Lu suffered a great disaster and fell into the abyss. I often feel deeply regretful. Later I learned that you were blessed with disguise. Not only did you not die, but you also became the leader of Qingtian Village. Congratulations. Seeing that Brother Lu looks good, I think he is safe all these years?"
Lu Qian said coldly: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your concern, everything is fine! I was lucky to be lucky, and I found a way of life when I was bound to die. After many hard work, I regained my foothold. Is this a good sign of great prosperity? I have thought about it over and over again and finally realized a truth: Is it not a blessing to lose my horse? If it weren't for the decent people who forced me to a desperate situation, how could I have the opportunity to join Qingtianzhai and have the current hegemony? I am afraid that at this moment, I will still be an inconspicuous disciple of the Kunlun School. This king is destined to do great things. The emperor and heaven are three feet tall, and with the guidance of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, how can I die easily?"
When Li Yijie and Nangong Xuechu met Lu Qian, he was still under the Kunlun Sect and of a low generation. The three of them followed the Shadow Sacrifice Sect together and accidentally obtained a martial arts secret book on the way. Lu Qian was not good at character and was proficient in martial arts. When he saw the extremely exquisite magical skills contained in the secret book, he secretly wanted to take it alone. When he was saying goodbye on the battlefield, he put aside the wine glasses of Li Yijie and hurriedly stole the book and ran away. Unexpectedly, he accidentally stole a fake secret book. That night, Nangong Xue finally saw his true face and despised his character.
In order to eliminate the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, the heroes of the martial arts world planned to hold a hero meeting in the swordsmanship in more than a month, and select the winner as the commander. Lu Qian appeared again and succeeded as the head of Kunlun, pretending to be a hypocritical figure, and competed for the position of leader of the alliance. Li Yijie received guidance from his master Meng Anying with authentic secrets, and made great progress in martial arts. He defeated all the heroes on the martial arts stage and defeated Lu Qian.
