The Fairy Just Wants To Lie Down

  Chapter 266 Li Wuqu does good deeds and monopolizes others all his life

  The distance from Beijing to Qingshui is about 1,500 miles, passing through more than a thousand villages in 16 cities, 64 towns, and more than 100 rivers and lakes, of which only half can be crossed on foot.

   One person and one horse walk for 10 hours a day, and it takes two months to get there with the help of official roads. People need rest, horses need rest, mountains need to be climbed or bypassed, and rivers need boats to cross.

   It took him decades to find this way home.

  On the path in the forest, the white-haired veteran was wearing tiger-head armor, wrapped in a piece of coarse cloth to keep out the wind, and the bamboo hat on his head was a gift from the old farmer on the road.

  Suddenly, figures appeared in front of them, wearing armor, covering their faces, holding a horizontal knife and a strong crossbow.

  Such excellent equipment is rare even in the Beijun Army. Li Changsheng's thousand Tiger Leaping Cavalry may not be equipped with strong crossbows. Crossbows and armor have been contraband since ancient times. Not to mention that the people do not have one in private, but at least they will not arm a 100-man heavy armor corps like the one in front of them.

  100 heavy armored soldiers can be used properly on the battlefield and can directly pierce the enemy's formation. Putting it in the capital can be the main force of the coup, and putting it in the local area is an unrivaled armed force. In ancient times, unlike modern society, the transmission of information and the limitations of the law, the extermination of the family is the best means to fight for power and profit.

  Especially in local areas, aristocratic families don't have hundreds of followers and can't sleep well.

  Li Changsheng often led the army to borrow money from aristocratic families, and he knew very well how many strong men these people had under their hands. It can be said that their retainers are the main force in the local area, and the guarding army is just a joke.

  Many times, the preparations issued by the local government have to go through the hands of the aristocratic family, and the last ones are the army.

  As the so-called emperor and scholars share the world, this is an unavoidable situation in ancient society. Even if Li Changsheng is both civil and military like God's help, it can't change the fact that scholars rule the world.

  He can steal money from aristocratic families to fight wars, but he can't kill them all, because it will lead to a huge power vacuum. Order is better than chaos, and killing without management is killing.

  He can break through enemies from all directions, mobilize troops to destroy the country, and resist the enemy outside the country. But it can't change the heavy taxes, and it can't kill corrupt officials.

  Li Changsheng's spear can break through thousands of troops. He once fought against a hundred cavalry alone, ordered fifty troops to attack five hundred miles to capture the leader of the bandit. Ordinary people are extremely brave, but the ground touched by a long spear is no more than twelve feet.

  Li Changsheng held the halberd with one hand, a heavy halberd covered with scratches and gaps, and the blood stains in the cracks could no longer be washed away.

  The veteran's eyes were slightly cloudy, and he looked down at the heavy halberd in his hand.

  Twelve feet is too short, too small, and too narrow compared to the world's ten thousand squares.

   "Drive."

  Li Changsheng turned the horse rope slightly, and the horse suddenly sped up, its tendons and flesh agitated, and hot air continued to be exhaled from its nostrils. One person rushes into the formation, and the horse steps on the flying swallow.

   Phew!

   There was a rapid sound of breaking through the air, and there was no room for dodge in the narrow mountain road. Li Changsheng was lying on his horse's back, constantly shooting crossbow arrows from the top of his head, or piercing into the flesh and blood of the horse.

  The war horse buried its head in the charge neither humble nor overbearing, as if it didn't know the pain.

   "Horse, horse, you are getting old too."

  Li Changsheng patted the horse's neck, his voice was a little hoarse, and he comforted softly: "This is the last battle, go ahead and do your best."

  The war horse accelerated again, the sound of the beating heart and the sound of the lungs inhaling, all flowed into Li Changsheng's ears.

  100 meters, the crossbow arrows are shot.

   Fifty meters away, several people held shields and blocked the narrow road.

  Twenty meters away, the gun array has been formed, obviously trained elite soldiers.

  Ten meters, eight meters, six meters suddenly there was a strong wind, and the dead leaves flew wildly. The white-haired general charged forward on horseback, his body like a tiger, his eyes like fire.

  Although he is old, he still has a lot of energy.

   "I am Qingshui Li Changsheng, He Fangxiao is blocking my way!"

  A heavy halberd of one hundred and eighty catties will kill you if you hit it, and you will suffer if you rub it. Coupled with the inertia brought about by the charge of the war horse, just by handing it forward, it is like a giant dragon rushing forward.

  The shield-wielding thief flew high, and his hands broke on the spot. The rest of them wanted to turn their guns and stab Li Changsheng, but their movements were too slow in front of this battle-tested veteran. At the same time, it is too conformist, and it seems that it is practiced according to the military book written by myself.

   There is no way to train the elite.

  The holding shield is not suitable for use in narrow places. It looks indestructible, but it is like a thin piece of paper in Li Changsheng's mighty power.

  The array is broken, the sword and ax on the right step forward, and the horizontal sword on the left adds to the body. The enemies on the left and right sides swarmed up, almost without any formation and tactics at all. It's not that the enemy has no level, but that no amount of tactics can be used in a narrow place.

   As the saying goes, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

  The war horse fell to the ground with a thud, Li Changsheng also rushed into the formation smoothly, and a furious figure was reflected in the eyes of the horse.

angry! Hate its powerlessness.

   Sad! The comrades died in battle.

gas! Full of murderous intent.

   Under the swing of the heavy halberd, flesh and blood flew all over the place in an instant, no matter how good the armor was, it couldn't stop the halberd weighing a hundred catties.

"kill!!"

  The leader raised his arms and shouted, as if he wanted to boost morale, but in the next second his body was raised high. Li Changsheng broke their formation in an instant like a tyrannosaur, and every time he swung his heavy halberd, a life was lost.

  A three-way road is only two meters away. Li Changsheng seems to be blocked by a hundred people, but at most he is only facing two people.

   The offense and defense were reversed in an instant, Li Changsheng's hair was disheveled like a madman, and he kept advancing, beheading everyone who stood in front of him.

   Behind, there is also a group of armored imperial guards. They don't make any movements but just ride their horses and watch from a distance.

  Everyone held their breath, with the original in their eyes, they couldn't bear the shock, and finally attributed it to fear and admiration.

powerful! It's too strong, to carry hundreds of people with one's own strength without losing the wind, worthy of the name of Li Wuqu.

   "This is Li Wu Qu."

   "It's really powerful and powerful, and one person is a million troops."

  The imperial guards all clenched their fists, and their faces showed excited expressions. Who hasn't grown up hearing Li Wuqu's name for decades. All soldiers, regardless of whether they are soldiers or generals, regard Li Wuqu as their teacher.

  They were delighted, and the **** behind him said anxiously, "Don't you hurry up and help? What if Li Wuqu survives? He must never leave alive!"

  Li Wu's music skills are high, and he doesn't know how to retreat bravely. He has offended too many people in these years. The aristocratic family was driven to nowhere by him, the ministers of the court were afraid of his name, even the emperor looked to the north with a look of fear.

  He is too strong, his achievements are too high, and he has reached the point where he cannot be sealed.

  Emperor Taishang has the kindness to Li Wuqu for his knowledge and understanding. Your majesty's father, the emperor, can appreciate his father's kindness, but no matter how much kindness is in your majesty's generation, it will fade away. His Majesty himself can't tolerate an invincible general, nor can he tolerate a general who surpasses himself in prestige and martial arts.

The leader of the imperial army turned his head to look at the eunuch, and asked, "Eunuch Yu, do you know what you are talking about? That is Li Wuqu, who destroyed the barbarians in the north, conquered Huqi in the east, and put down the rebellion of the kings. It is Li Wuqu that one man can defeat ten thousand people." , one person is General Li with a million troops."

   "The elder of the Three Dynasties, Beijun Shanhaiguan, you want me to kill him?"

   "Is there an imperial decree?"

   After scolding, the **** was speechless, and a little bit of the white jade wine in his arms spilled out slightly.

  How could such a thing be ordered? Not to mention issuing imperial edicts, the emperor dared not even issue secret edicts, for fear of being notorious in the future. There is no emperor who does not cherish his own reputation. Killing a hero is not good, but killing Li Wuqu is even more infamy.

  The folks do not know how many temples are dedicated to him.

  He came here to imply to these forbidden soldiers that after the incident, everyone will be promoted and get rich. But everyone knows that after this kind of thing is done, it will inevitably be silenced, or pushed out.

  Everyone was silent, and the sound of fighting in the distance gradually subsided. Through the sparse bushes, they saw a tall figure standing among countless corpses, and the enemy retreated after confronting it for a few minutes.

   The **** gritted his teeth and rode out, holding a sword in his hand.

  The commander of the imperial army was stunned for a moment and then followed. A group of people rushed into the woods in a mighty manner, dismounted halfway and marched on foot.

   Walking a hundred and eighty steps, I saw an old general sitting on top of the corpse, his eyes were half down and his hair was disheveled. The tiger head armor was covered with blood, and drops of blood flowed out through the tiger's mouth, as if the armor had just turned into a fierce tiger and returned from killing.

  His face was calm and peaceful, and he didn't see the fierceness of the fight just now.

  The breeze blew from the distant North County battlefield, dead leaves floated on top of the white hair, and the hair temples fluttered to cover the gully on his face.

  The red-clothed **** came on horseback, holding a sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Li Changsheng! Take your life!"

  Li Changsheng looked up, his eyes revealed an extremely cold murderous look. The horse lost control in an instant, flew high and threw the **** to the ground, then turned around and ran away.

  The one the **** fell was called a dog eating shit, and his left hand was directly broken. But he didn't give up because of this, he stood up unsteadily, and picked up the sword on the ground.

  Standing in front of Li Changsheng, ten steps away, he never dared to approach again.

  He could be sure that the opponent was exhausted, but the fear could not be suppressed. Once he met those calm eyes, his hands trembled unconsciously.

"What are you afraid of?"

  The voice of the white-haired veteran is soft, not as fierce as in the legend. He is neither a tiger face nor a tiger roaring, but a humble gentleman.

   At least it seems so.

   "I'm afraid of you." The eunuch's legs were trembling.

   "Why?"

  Li Changsheng tilted his head slightly, and said in a calm voice: "I have never slaughtered a city all my life as a soldier, and I have never allowed my soldiers to burn, kill or loot. My soldiers have not turned to the people. Why should the people be afraid?"

  Eunuchs are just ordinary people, and people with family backgrounds will not enter the palace to become eunuchs.

   "The emperor asked me to kill you." The **** said, "Your meritorious deeds are outstanding. In the past, the world was not peaceful and strong enemies looked around, so the court kept you. Now it is peaceful, and the world cannot tolerate such an amazing person like you."

   "Can't you tolerate me? Can't you tolerate me even if I put down my military power and return to the field?"

  Li Changsheng was a little stunned, bowed his head and muttered a few words. At this time, many imperial guards had arrived behind them, they did not draw their swords to face each other, but walked fifty steps away from Li Changsheng and stood quietly in a line.

  Standing in a military posture and queuing up are all taught by Li Wuqu.

  The commander of the imperial army clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, the entanglement in his heart seemed to be roasting himself on fire.

  His father was a soldier from Beijun, who used to be Li Wuqu's subordinate. He grew up listening to the other party's legend since he was a child, and now he wants to execute the old general.

  But he can't move, because he has his own wife and children in the capital.

  Finally, the **** came to Li Changsheng with trembling hands, and took out the jug of wine seeing that the other party did not resist. He wanted to give the old general a face, otherwise he would be in trouble for the rest of his life.

   "General, please go on the road. You have no father, no mother, no wife and no children. I will watch for you for three years."

  He knelt down on both knees and held the poisoned wine high.

   At this moment Li Changsheng raised his head slightly, there was still no fear in his eyes, as quiet as an ancient well.

  he asked:

   "Taiping is my decision, and there is a reason why I am not allowed to see it?"

  Plain voice, following common sense questions, as if asking whether killing will pay for life.

   fell into the ears of the eunuch, the fear from the heart could no longer be suppressed, and the poisoned wine fell to the ground with a clang. He just knelt on the ground, looking at those calm eyes in bewilderment.

  As if the one who was going to die was himself.

  The bodies of the imperial guards behind them all shook suddenly, or their mouths were slightly opened, or their eye sockets were wet, or their fists were clenched, or their hearts were blocked and it was difficult to breathe.

   Taiping was originally ordered by the general, and the general was not allowed to see Taiping.

   Killing for life is justified.

  But the facts are not necessarily true. Princes and nobles can be spared the disaster of murder and prison, so why talk about killing for life? Everyone knows that Taiping was determined by Li Wuqu, but he cannot see Taiping.

  This **** world! Nourishing the evil and persecuting the good.

   It's too dirty for the General.

   "The wine is spilled, let the child use the sword."

  Li Changsheng exhaled slightly, and reminded: "As long as I have a breath, I will not accept my fate. If you kill me, I have no regrets. You are also for yourself. If you can't kill me, you can't do business."

   As he spoke, he picked up the broken knife beside him and laid it in front of him. Even the strength to hold the knife has to be strenuous, where is the strength.

   But in such a field, he still does not lose his character.

  The **** stood up holding his sword, and the guards behind him began to commotion, and someone had already taken a step unconsciously. Even if the commander of the forbidden army kept scolding them, they couldn't suppress them.

  Some even raised their crossbows and aimed at the eunuch, but they thought that their wives and children in the city would not dare to do it.

   "General, do you remember Huaishan County?" the **** asked suddenly, talking to himself before Li Changsheng could answer.

"When the barbarians entered the customs, Huaishan County was the first among them. My father and mother took me to escape. At that time, there was a catastrophe and the court did not distribute food. I was so hungry that I started to gnaw on my mother's hand. I was about to eat blood relatives, yes You lead your troops to forcefully open the granary to relieve the disaster."

   "Today either you die or I die. If I don't kill you, I will be cut to pieces by the supervisor when I return to the palace. The boy's common name is Xu Xiaobao, and I will pay you back today."

   After finishing speaking, the **** turned his long sword to his Adam's apple, and waved his hand to the sky to form a red line.

  People who cut their throats will die, but they will not die suddenly. The **** sat down tremblingly, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth, he was no longer afraid.

   It turned out that what he was afraid of was not Li Wuqu, but his own conscience.

  After half a sound, the crippled person named Xu Xiaobao was silent again. Li Changsheng finally recovered some strength, stood up from the corpse, bent down and closed his eyes.

  Li Changsheng looked at the forbidden army, and as soon as he saw it, everyone knelt down on one knee.

   "The general is mighty!"

  The forbidden army didn't know what they were doing, obviously, this might cause the whole family to be exiled, or even beheaded. But they still knelt down, knelt down to this brave general who crowned the world.

  How much prestige does a person need to make him give up his life? Perhaps this is also the reason why the imperial court couldn't tolerate him. They were afraid, afraid of a gray-haired veteran, afraid of a general who had no soldiers under his command, afraid of Li Wuqu.

  He is only a person, a person without father, mother, wife and children, what are you afraid of, civil and military?

  But it was just such a person, he pacified the world and pacified the princes. It continued the national fortune for the Wu Dynasty for an unknown period of time, and created a stable world for the people.

  Li Changsheng put his bags on his back, put on a bamboo hat, took a knife in his hand, and continued on the road.

   "Help me bury Mr. Xu and my horse."

  In his life, he didn't take advantage of the right time, place and people, as if the whole world was going against him. If it wasn't for his ability, he would have died as early as in the capital.

  Of course, if you do good deeds for a lifetime, there will be harmony between people.
