Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 709
If the great building of the Great Song Dynasty is about to collapse, as a national teacher, he still stays in the capital, mingling in the court, what is the plot?

With the fate of the country gone, the evil way practiced by the national teacher will not work at all.

The evil way he wants to go is based on the fact that the Song Dynasty is still there. By gradually replacing the court officials, he has completely controlled the court and occupied the country and the country.

Or is it that the national teacher saw this. It's just another arrangement?

Li Xiuyuan felt that this national teacher was not as simple as he thought.

What's hidden in it is deep and dangerous.

"To be on the safe side, let's find an opportunity to kill him." Li Xiuyuan's heart was already filled with killing intent.

Now that he has obtained the divine power of Lord Yan, there is no need to pretend to be a snake. He believes that his morality has broken a certain fragile balance.

It's just that this centipede is a thief. Who knows where his real body is, and he is hiding in the palace. It is not easy to kill him. There is also the oppression of the national fortune here. Ghosts and gods cannot approach, and spells will be greatly affected. Whether the influence can be displayed is a question.

While thinking, Li Xiuyuan has already stepped into the Zichen Palace.

He met all the civil and military officials at the court meeting, and also met the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Guanjia.

I even saw the national teacher standing beside Zhao Guan's house.

Of course, that Master Yang also cast a hostile look.

Li Xiuyuan was not timid at all. Although it was his first time to attend the court meeting, he glanced calmly at the princes above the court hall, and walked steadily and powerfully, with a straight posture.

Perhaps it was because he was too young, not yet the age of the weak crown.

Therefore, it looks out of place on this court hall, like a green pine in a pile of rotten wood, it has to attract attention.

Li Xiuyuan's gaze finally stayed on Zhao Guan's family, and after a glance, he withdrew his gaze, because it is impolite to stare at a person, let alone an official of the Song Dynasty.

"My minister Li Xiuyuan, governor of Yangzhou, has seen the officials."

He bowed and saluted without showing arrogance or humbleness, his voice was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the Zichen Palace.

Zhao Guanjia also looked at Li Xiuyuan at this moment. Seeing that he was tall and handsome, with the vigor that young people should have, and the calmness and grandeur that ordinary people did not have, they couldn't help liking him a little.

Which emperor doesn't like such a capable, young, and faction-free official?
The only thing to consider is whether it is faithful.

"Li Aiqing is exempt."

Zhao Guanjia smiled and said: "You are really a young talent. I heard that Li Liangjin rebelled and took one city a day. In less than three months, most of Yangzhou has been taken down. There are more than 20 soldiers under his command. He thought Yangzhou was in danger. Now it seems that there are Li Aiqing is here, Yangzhou is not in danger, you have solved such a big problem for the court

A trouble, I won't treat you badly for making such a contribution. "

"Thanks to the official family, but the victory depends on the best efforts of the subordinates. It is also thanks to Zuo Qianhu's desperate defense of the city, otherwise Jinling City will definitely be destroyed by the bandit army." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Who are those two strong men behind? Why doesn't Li Aiqing tell me?"

Seeing Wu Xiang and Han Meng kneeling behind Li Xiuyuan, the Zhao officials couldn't help asking.

Li Xiuyuan said: "This is Wu Xiang, born with supernatural power. During the battle of Jinling City, he alone guarded the city gate and ensured that the city gate was not lost. He made great contributions. This is Han Meng. He is the commander of the army and led a The cavalry chased and killed Li Liangjin. It was because of his pursuit that Li Liangjin was forced to hide in the mountains.

All the people betrayed their relatives and died at the hands of a Chai Fu named Jin Dayong. "

"This is Li Liangjin's commander-in-chief flag, the golden seal, please have a look at it."

After finishing speaking, he signaled Han Meng to bring a brocade box.

Immediately the eunuch came to open the brocade box and took a look, and only after making sure it was correct did he send it to the Golden Palace.

Zhao Guanjia glanced at it, immediately clapped his hands and smiled and said: "Okay, you are really a fierce general, I want to reward you well."

As soon as the words were uttered, a civil official stood up and said: "Wait a minute, the officials. If the two warriors really have such achievements, they should be commended, but before they were dismissed, I heard from this Lord Li that this Wu Xiang guarded a city gate alone. The thieves can't take the city. This statement is a bit deceitful. You must know that the thieves
The number of the army is less than twenty, even the bandit army attacking the city gate is at least hundreds or even thousands, how can one person guard the city gate? "

After saying this, the other civil servants whispered among themselves and nodded.

"Officials, there are indeed doubts about this matter. I am afraid that Master Li intentionally lied about his military achievements."

"I also feel that this matter is not credible."

These civil servants thought they had caught a little bit of mistakes in their words, so they didn't let them go.

Mr. Yang is not moving at the moment, let other civil servants take care of these little people, and he only needs to concentrate on dealing with Li Xiuyuan.

At this moment, the third prince, Zhao Jing, stood up and said a good word; "Father, since Master Li said that Wu Xiang is defending the city alone, he must have extraordinary force. If Father doesn't believe it, why not try it?"

"That's right, Li Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhao Guan asked.

Li Xiuyuan said: "My lords should be suspicious, but I don't know how you test Wu Xiang's force to believe that he can defend a city gate by himself?"

"Being able to fight ten halberd warriors is enough to convince people." Zhang Yuan from the Ministry of Officials said.

A halberd-bearer is a strongman holding a halberd. He travels with the emperor's guard of honor on weekdays. Because he holds a halberd all the year round, he is extremely strong and powerful. They once saw a halberd-bearer smash a piece of bluestone with his halberd. sharp.

If you want to come to the world's martial arts, no matter how high your martial arts are, they are nothing more than this.

"Call ten halberd bearers." Zhao Guanjia said, agreeing to the competition.

It is not only to reconcile the dissatisfaction of the officials, but the result can also be convincing, and there will be no more disputes.

Immediately, after a while, ten burly and muscular soldiers in armor and holding Fang Tian's painted halberd all entered the hall. If they were placed outside, people who didn't know would think they were heavenly soldiers and generals descending from the earth.

"Meet the official."

The ten halberd bearers knelt down and saluted.

"Exemption." Zhao Guanjia asked with a smile: "Does this warrior dare to fight?"

"It's not a problem for me to hit ten of these people." Wu Xiang immediately patted his chest and said.

However, Li Xiuyuan said: "In the eyes of officials and ministers, the competition in this hall is quite inappropriate. It is unlucky to fight with swords and soldiers in the palace grounds. If there are casualties due to the competition, and any wrestlers are damaged, it will be the court's fault." loss, so I suggest changing the trial method, and hope that the officials will agree."

"How does Li Aiqing want to try?" Zhao Guan asked.

"When I entered the palace before, I saw two bronze lions outside the palace. If Wu Xiang could lift them up, would I be able to convince the adults that he is indeed unduly brave?" Li Xiuyuan said.

He didn't want to compete because he didn't want to be tricked by these dog officials.

If Wu Xiang loses, he will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. If he wins, there will be casualties, and I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to make trouble again.

He followed Li Linfu for a period of time to learn the fighting methods above the court, how could he fall into the trap.

Lift the bronze lion outside the temple?That thing is made of solid copper, can it be lifted by a person?
Now it was the officials' turn to be surprised.

Lifting the bronze lion is more difficult than fighting ten halberd bearers. Is this Li Xiuyuan crazy?Suicide?

For a while, all the civil servants fell silent.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Since your lords don't speak, it means acquiescing, Wu Xiang, go and bring in the bronze lion outside the hall."

"Isn't it better?" Wu Xiang said.

"Go get that bronze lion and come in. It's nothing to compare. What are you doing here? Could it be that the officials and the adults are waiting for you?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Understood, Master." Wu Xiang immediately turned around and ran out of the hall.

At this time, all the civil servants couldn't help poking their heads out to see if this tall warrior could lift the bronze lion at the door.

"This old man absolutely doesn't believe that anyone in the world can lift that thing. It's unreasonable bravery? That's just wild history talk."

"This Li Xiuyuan may have seen through our schemes, so he jumped the wall in a hurry. At that time, he can't raise it and can't impeach him for the crime of deceiving the emperor. At most, the officials will just withdraw the reward from Wu Xiang. Li Xiuyuan can't move. "

"You are so young, how can you learn to be so cunning. Master Yang asked the imperial army to stop them before but they were not stopped. I don't know what method Li Xiuyuan used to get in."

But when the civil servants were discussing.

Wu Xiang had already come to the side of the bronze lion, he bent down and squatted down, and tightly hugged the base of the bronze lion with both arms.

He didn't blush and tried his best with a thick neck, but just put his feet together and raised his arms.

This bronze lion cast in pure copper was lifted up easily.

Wu Xiang didn't seem to have much pressure, so he lifted the bronze lion and walked towards the hall.

"It's inhuman, you actually lifted it up?"

"Impossible, this is impossible, does this person really have such strength?"

"Oops, oops, misstep, misstep."

Seeing this, some of these civil servants were shocked, some couldn't believe it, and some even panicked, secretly thinking that something was wrong, something was wrong.

Even the ten halberd-bearers waiting on the side were stunned and speechless for a moment.

The literati only knew that this man had great strength, but the halberd bearer, as a warrior, knew very well what it meant to lift the stone lion.

It is impossible for a martial arts master to do it.

Even if it could be done, a person's arms would not be able to support such a weight, and would be crushed and broken.

But this person went beyond the usual imagination, not only did he lift it up, but he didn't feel it was very difficult, and his body didn't look like he couldn't bear it at all.

"This power is close to that of ghosts and gods," the halberd bearers thought in horror.

At the same time, he couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.

Fortunately, fortunately there was no competition just now, if there was a competition, this man's strength would break the eucalyptus and split the human body into pieces.

Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also shocked at this moment, watching Wu Xiang walk in holding the huge bronze lion.

"With the power of the four elephants, it is not difficult to lift a bronze lion."

Li Xiuyuan looked as usual, standing in the hall and watching Wu Xiang walk in, he thought to himself: "It's a pity that the white elephant has gone somewhere, otherwise with the power of the five elephants, he would hold a bronze lion in each hand It's not hard to do."

The power of his four elephants is not the strength of four elephants, but the strength of four gods.

What idol?The mount of the Bodhisattva in the sky, the white elephant who has been blessed by the Bodhisattva's mind power and has practiced the Vajra Dharma, is qualified to be called a god image.

Even he didn't know where the limit of Wu Xiang's strength was.

I only know that the copper bell in the temple is as easy as lifting a washbasin, the stone lion at the door can be thrown and played like a stone, and the round iron rod with the thickness of the bowl is as easy as a branch in his hand. .

As a master of martial arts, Li Xiuyuan has practiced martial arts for more than ten years, but that time when he took a weapon to catch him with a stick in Jinling City, he was so shocked that he vomited blood while he was still unloading. It is conceivable that this guy How terrible.

Fortunately, this Wu Xiang followed him. If he was a first-class demon, he felt that he could write a suicide note and prepare the coffin.

The saint's fate is not very useful either.

"Boss, where do you put this thing?" Wu Xiang walked in, and the thick gold bricks on the ground had been cracked. Along the way, the surrounding civil and military officials were afraid to avoid it.

I was afraid that this thing would fall and hit myself.

"If you're not tired, just hold it for now, and you'll have to go back later." Li Xiuyuan said.

After finishing speaking, he gave another salute to the official and said: "Official, Wu Xiang's strength is astonishing. It's not that I don't want him to compete. It's just that his strikes are not serious and easy to cause death. Please learn from the official. If it is a battlefield It's good to fight against the enemy bandits, but in the imperial city, he must not be allowed to act foolishly."

"It is true, it is true."

Zhao Guanjia also wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little scared, and hurriedly said: "This kind of divine power is rare in the world, I, I want to make him a general of divine power, so that he can continue to serve the court in the future."

"Wu Xiang, don't put down the bronze lion to thank the officials." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Boom~!"

When the bronze lion was put down, the whole hall felt shaken, Wu Xiang grinned: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The so-called Divine General is the same as General Yasha. Although he is a general, he is just a miscellaneous general and worthless.

But for Wu Xiang, who was still a beggar before, being able to be a general with supernatural powers is considered a glorious ancestor. After all, it is the limit for a simple warrior to do this. Unlike Li Xiuyuan, who was born as a scholar and has a national teacher Operating above the imperial court, coupled with his contribution to destroying Li Liangjin,
Only then has this status.

"Wu Xiang, move the things back." Li Xiuyuan said again.

Wu Xiang responded, and went out again carrying the bronze lion.

"Although this man is strong, he is not very smart. He obeys Li Xiuyuan's advice. It is difficult to deal with, but not difficult to deal with." Baiguan was relieved when he saw the monster walk out, but he also noticed Wu Xiang's situation. I also know it in my heart.

Such a person is not a threat, as long as there is no protection from Li Xiuyuan, it is easy to handle this person.

It doesn't matter how powerful you are if you don't have a brain.

Like Zuo Qianhu and Cui Zongcun of the Six Doors, they are all martial artists who are easy to play with.
