Chapter 131 Dao Zuo Meets Mr. Yue [Seeking Monthly Ticket]
You know, even when they met Sun Hong, they had to respectfully call him "Parents", but they never thought that the situation would change so much in the blink of an eye.
On the contrary, after the initial shock, the instructor Meng Guang didn't know what he thought of, and his face became extremely ugly. He just looked at Li Huan and said tremblingly: "You... you are the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion."
What happened, imperial envoy Li Huan?"
Meng Guang was able to tell Li Huan's ministry in one breath, but it was thanks to the connections in the academy. It can be said that every three to five days, an old friend from the court would tell them about the major events that happened in the court.
Inform these former colleagues in the academy through letters.
Meng Guang had just read the news from the capital not long ago, including the news that Li Huan was appointed as an imperial envoy to go to Fujian to investigate the case.
When Li Huan revealed his name earlier, Meng Guang did not associate the name Li Huan with Li Huan, the famous imperial guard in the capital.
After all, according to Meng Guang's knowledge, Li Huan was ordered to patrol the southeast and had been away from Beijing for nearly a month. The imperial envoy's honor guard might have already arrived in Fujian, so how could he appear in their Kaifeng Mansion, which is thousands of miles away from Fujian.
Li Huan glanced at Meng Guang lightly and said, "Oh, I never thought Meng Jiaoxi also knew Li's name!"
Meng Guang's face was extremely ugly, and he tried hard to keep calm. He looked at Li Huan and said, "Didn't you go to Fujian to investigate the case? Why are you here in Kaifeng Mansion?"
Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Li wanted to enjoy the scenery of this world along the way. He had heard about the name of Songyang Academy for a long time and specially invited the Supervisory Censor Wang to come. He never thought..."
After a moment of buffering, Meng Guang slowly calmed down. Although he was still a little panicked, he was not nearly scared to death like Sun Hong, the Dengfeng magistrate on the ground.
Meng Guang saluted Wang Yangming and said, "I never thought that it would be Mr. Wang, the Supervising Censor, in person. Meng is rude. Please forgive me."
Wang Yangming slightly arched his hands.
At this time, Meng Guang said to Wang Yangming: "Since Mr. Wang is here in person, why not let Meng accompany Mr. Wang to enjoy the scenery of the academy."
Meng Guang remained somewhat polite to Wang Yangming, but turned a blind eye to Li Huan, obviously not taking Li Huan to heart.
It seems that when he became an official, Emperor Xiaozong was still on the throne, and several officials in the civil service group would take Jinyiwei to heart. Obviously, Meng Guang's understanding of Jinyiwei was still in the Xiaozong period.
Even though he learned from letters exchanged between old friends in Beijing that there was a ruthless Li Huan in Jinyiwei, Meng Guang obviously did not think that Li Huan could do anything to him.
Firstly, he did not break the law, and secondly, he did not do anything to Li Huan. In Songyang Academy, a sacred place of culture and education, Li Huangui was the imperial envoy. Could it be said that he could be framed out of thin air?
As for whether offending Li Huan would affect his official career, he has already become an official, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about this.
That is to say, he has nothing to desire and nothing to ask for. Therefore, after correcting his mentality, the tension and fear caused by the sudden discovery of Li Huan's identity naturally disappeared.
Li Huan waved his hand and motioned for Chen Yao to take Sun Hong aside, while his eyes fell on Meng Guang.
"So Professor Meng doesn't welcome Mr. Li to visit the academy?"
Meng Guang was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly under Li Huan's gaze: "Songyang Academy is a private academy, so it doesn't matter if Mr. Li is an imperial envoy. I don't welcome you at Songyang Academy!"
The other scholars now opened their eyes wide and looked at Meng Guang with admiration. They felt that Meng Guang could refuse an imperial envoy without being humble or arrogant. What a character this was.
Especially since Li Huan is still a royal guard, the eyes of these scholars are shining, as if they have been injected with chicken blood. If their Songyang Academy can refuse Li Huan entry today, then it will definitely spread throughout the world. , praised by scholars.
When I thought of this, the imperial guards and imperial envoys all became less scary. These scholars even puffed up their chests and stood in front of Li Huan and all the imperial guards. Just look at the excitement on the faces of these scholars. You can tell what these people are thinking by looking at them.
Wang Yangming also had a look of astonishment on his face. He obviously didn't expect that Meng Jiaoxi would be so stubborn after they revealed their identities. He only invited him to enter the academy, but kept Li Huan outside the mountain gate.
With a sigh, Wang Yangming knew that he might not be able to be kind now. Based on his understanding of Li Huan, and from previous conversations, he could tell that Li Huan did not have a good impression of Songyang Academy.
With Teacher Meng's attitude this time, if this matter was just settled, it would be impossible for Li Huan to gain such a great reputation in Beijing.
Looking at Meng Guang with a half-smile, Li Huan said lightly: "It seems that Professor Meng really does not allow Li to enter Songyang Academy."
Meng Guang was wearing a green shirt and waved his long sleeves: "We are not welcome in this private place!"
The rest of the scholars were very excited and shouted: "We are not welcome in this private place!"
When Chen Yao saw this, he couldn't help but shouted angrily: "You even dare to stop the imperial envoy. I think you are crazy."
Li Huan waved his hand, but his eyes turned to Sun Hong, the magistrate of Dengfeng County, who was almost paralyzed with fear.
Compared with Meng Guang and other scholars, Sun Hong actually ordered people to put shackles on the imperial envoy. What kind of sin was this?
To put it more seriously, it was a crime of disrespect to the emperor. Losing an official position was a minor crime. If Li Huan, the royal guard, had been crueler and thrown him directly into the imperial prison, his life would not have been saved.
"Sun Zhixian, right?"
Hearing Li Huan's voice, Sun Hong, who was desperate in his heart, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Huan with gleaming eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Sun Hong, is short-sighted. Please forgive me." Sin!"
Li Huan waved his hand, and immediately held Sun Hong's two guards in golden clothes to release Sun Hong. Sun Hong, who had regained his freedom, couldn't help but kneel down in front of Li Huan with a thud.
Li Huan looked at Sun Hong and said slowly: "Sun Magistrate, I would like to ask you, if I remember correctly, this Songyang Academy was founded strictly by the imperial court. Since Emperor Taizu, the imperial court has Academies were opened in strict local areas, and Songyang Academy was banned and destroyed several times..."
Sun Hong kowtowed repeatedly when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is right, your Majesty is right. According to the laws of the imperial court, private academies are prohibited in the world. If students want to study, they can have their own official schools. If they can become high school scholars, the imperial court will also provide monthly subsidies. Too Emperor Zu was extremely kind to the scholars of the world."
The conversation between Li Huan and Sun Hong was naturally heard in the ears of Meng Guang and other scholars, and the expressions of each of these people changed drastically.
Few people who can become scholars are fools. It is impossible for them not to understand the meaning of Li Huan's words. It is precisely because they understood what Li Huan meant that they looked panicked.
Meng Guang shouted to Li Huan almost instinctively: "Li Huan, Songyang Academy is famous all over the world. The president of the academy is the censor of the former Zuo capital, and all of your teachers are veterans who have served in the imperial court. They have connections all over the court.
you……"
Li Huan just glanced at Meng Guang lightly and said: "The imperial court is strict about opening private academies. Since Meng Jiaoxi was once an official of our Ming Dynasty, doesn't he know this?"
"you……"
Meng Guang couldn't help but point at Li Huan angrily, but for a moment he couldn't argue, because what Li Huan said was correct. The Ming Dynasty had expressly stipulated that private academies were not allowed to be opened.
Although this provision is now as if it were a fiction and no one takes it to heart. But just because people don’t care doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
As long as there is a provision, it doesn't matter if it is not used in daily life. But once someone uses this provision to make an issue, it is a solid legal basis.
Just like now, Li Huan made Meng Guang speechless with just one sentence, unable to refute.
No longer paying attention to Meng Guang, Li Huan just looked at Sun Hong and said: "Sun Zhixian, as the magistrate of Dengfeng County and a local official, do you know that Songyang Academy is running an illegal school and blatantly violates the holy will of Emperor Taizu?
?”
Sun Hong's body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground. He didn't expect that Li Huan would slap such a big hat on him.
He is just a small county magistrate, but he cannot bear such a heavy blame.
At that moment, Sun Hong shouted: "Your Excellency, it is clear that Songyang Academy was rebuilt in the reign of the late Emperor. By the time Xiaguan took office, Songyang Academy already existed. The affairs of Songyang Academy have nothing to do with Xiaguan."
Meng Guang saw that the situation was not right, and whispered to a scholar: "Go quickly and ask the masters and other teachers to come and tell them that it is about the survival of our Songyang Academy."
The scholar's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, and he stumbled into the depths of the academy.
Li Huan and a group of Jinyi guards naturally noticed the actions of Meng Guang and the scholar, but no one had any intention of stopping them. Li Huan was even looking forward to seeing what kind of person the official was here.
Here Li Huan asked Sun Hong about Songyang Academy. From Sun Hong's mouth, Li Huan learned that Songyang Academy had been slowly rebuilt not many years after it was banned and destroyed. It was not until the Xiaozong period that it was restored to what it is today.
Heyday.
And according to what Sun Hong said, Songyang Academy occupies an area of Aurora, and even the nearby mountains and forests are included in the academy.
Li Huan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, let me ask you, is the title deed of Songyang Academy in the name of the government or..."
Sun Hong said quickly: "Sir, the land and forest land occupied by Songyang Academy are all in private hands."
While he was talking, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps, and someone shouted: "The principal and other teachers are here!"
All the scholars looked towards the visitor one after another, and saw a dozen figures walking towards them quickly. Although their hair was gray, they all had strong and strong figures, and it was obvious that they had taken good care of themselves.
The Chancellor of the Court, Mao Wenli, was the former Zuodu Censor who became official in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. He was a high-ranking official. Many of his former disciples hold high positions in the court today.
The status of the rest of the teachers who followed Mao Wenli were also good, and almost all of them were officials who had become official.
At this time, Mao Wenli had a look of worry on his face. Before anyone arrived, the loud voice came: "Who is it? Who is going to destroy Songyang Academy? Ask me first if I agree!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Wenli was already approaching. When Wang Yangming saw Mao Wenli, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Wang Yangming, the censor of the Supervisory Office, pays homage to Mr. Boming!"
Mao Wenli was stunned, glanced at Wang Yangming, and said with a somewhat thoughtful look: "Who are you, Wang Hua, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing?"
Wang Yangming hurriedly said: "It's my father."
Hearing this, Mao Wenli stroked his beard, nodded slightly and said, "No wonder I feel that you are very similar to my old friend. I never thought that you are actually my old friend's queen."
As he spoke, his expression changed, and he looked at Wang Yangming coldly and said, "You want to destroy Songyang Academy? Did your father teach you to trample on the place taught by saints?"
Wang Yangming had a wry smile on his face, but at this moment Li Huan said: "This old gentleman must be the dean of Songyang Academy."
Mao Wenli glanced at Li Huan and the royal guards around Li Huan, his expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "Who are you?"
Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "I'm Li Huan!"
Mao Wenli's eyes narrowed and he immediately said: "Is it the emperor's eagle dog that killed Shi Haoshi's brother, Li Huan?"
Li Huan raised his brows and said calmly: "I don't dare to be the emperor's eagle or dog, but if you want to talk about Shi Hao, who has a human face and a beast's heart, and is worse than an animal, then it is true that Li personally led people to ransack his house."
"Shi Hao is just a traitor. Brother Xie, Brother Liu, what's the crime? They have worked hard for our Ming Dynasty all their lives, but you have caused such harm to them in their old age."
Li Huan just sneered: "Are you questioning His Majesty's holy will?"
Mao Wenli couldn't help but was stunned, and immediately laughed and said: "Junior, you also want to give me a hat? Remember when I was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you didn't know where you were?"
As he spoke, Mao Wenli's expression straightened, and he looked at Li Huan coldly and said: "Songyang Academy is famous all over the world, and it is the Holy Land of our Shilin. If you, Li Huan, dare to cause trouble to this Holy Land, I will make you infamy for thousands of years."
Li Huan glanced at Mao Wenli with disdain and said, "If the old gentleman has nothing else to say, then don't say any more."
As he spoke, Li Huan said to Sun Hong who was standing aside: "Sun Magistrate, I order you to immediately dispatch your officers to destroy Songyang Academy for me..."
"You dare!"
Mao Wenli, who was furious, immediately shouted like an enraged lion. Not only Mao Wenli, but also the dozen teachers heard that Li Huan ordered the destruction of Songyang Academy, and each one of them seemed to have their own life-blood affected.
Zi generally yelled at Li Huan.
Li Huan saw everyone's reactions in his eyes and sneered with a bit of disdain on his lips: "Mao Wenli, if Sun Hong is right, you, Mao Wenli, alone own 20% of the land deed of Songyang Academy.
I'm afraid you are not defending the saint's culture and education, but you are protecting the money you earned from Songyang Academy."
As he spoke, Li Huan stared at Mao Wenlin with a look of astonishment and said: "Let me calculate it for you. Studying in your Songyang Academy, not to mention that you need to rely on connections to give gifts if you want to enter the academy, just one year
There are a full three hundred taels of Xiu Xiu. Let me calculate based on the three to five hundred people in your academy. That is more than one hundred thousand silver dollars every year, and what falls into your hands, Mao Wenli, is at least thirty thousand taels of silver.
.”
Most of the scholars around had expressions of horror on their faces. Although a few hundred taels per person was not too much for them, when the number of people increased, it was an astonishing number.
After listening to Li Huan's words, even Wang Yangming raised his head and looked at Mao Wenli with a strange look.
When Li Huan unceremoniously revealed the truth, Mao Wenli immediately became angry and said: "Ignorant boy, how can the knowledge of a saint be valued at something that smells like copper? Is it wrong for me to charge a bunch of cultivators?"
Li Huan said with a smile: "It's true to recruit Shu Xiu, but you shouldn't be so greedy, treating cultural and educational matters as a way to make money, and still pretending to be extremely noble. You are really a bitch and a bitch."
"you……"
With a "wow" sound, Mao Wenli was so angry at Li Huan's words that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
Some of the other teachers dodged their eyes and did not dare to look at Li Huan. Needless to say, anyone who did not dare to look at Li Huan was afraid that they would occupy the land deed of Songyang Academy.
There were also a few people who looked at Mao Wenli who had passed out with disbelief. They were the few people in the academy who truly taught selflessly. However, they didn't expect that Mao Wenli, who usually showed himself to others in poverty, would actually show up in Songyang. The academy seeks such an astonishing sum of money.
Ignoring the people in the academy who were in a mess because Mao Wenli passed out, Li Huan shouted at Sun Hong: "Didn't you hear what I said? Go and recruit my troops quickly. If we can't destroy Song before sunset today, don't you hear what I said?" Yang Academy, Mr. Li would not mind sending you to prison."
Sun Hong swallowed hard, nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll do it now, I'll do it now."
Standing under the plaque of Songyang Academy, Wang Yangming looked at Li Huan and suddenly said: "If I hadn't been with you all the way, Wang would have thought that you had been planning this for a long time."
Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It's just that these people are too greedy. If it is true that he is dedicated to running a school, teaching selflessly, and cultivating talents for the Ming Dynasty, then Li is not an unreasonable person."
Thinking that Mao Wenli had been in charge of Songyang Academy for more than ten years, he was afraid that the gold and silver property obtained from Songyang Academy was worth no less than two to three hundred thousand taels. When Wang Yangming looked at Songyang Academy again, he suddenly felt that such an academy might just be destroyed. Nothing to regret.
It has to be said that under the threat of being imprisoned, Sun Hong worked very efficiently. In less than an hour, the county government officials summoned hundreds of young and strong people from surrounding villages.
Each of these people held axes, forks, sticks and other objects, and gathered in front of Songyang Academy in a dark crowd.
Sun Hong timidly approached Li Huan and said tremblingly: "Sir, do you really want to destroy Songyang Academy?"
Li Huan did not speak, but gave Sun Hong a faint look. Sun Hong suddenly became excited, turned around and shouted at the common people: "The imperial court has ordered that academies be opened privately. My order today means that I will destroy Songyang Academy. Serve as a warning to others.”
Mao Wenli, who had just been rescued by a group of people, had not yet taken a breath when he happened to hear Sun Hong's words.
In an instant, Mao Wenli shouted: "Li Huan, I will go to Beijing to sue you!"
The next moment, when a crowd of people rushed into Songyang Academy, Mao Wenli could not bear such a blow and fainted again.
The people around here are obviously no strangers to the destruction of Songyang Academy. In more than a hundred years, Songyang Academy has been destroyed four times. Some of them even heard their elders talk about the destruction of Songyang Academy.
During the time of Yang Academy, I brought back some books, writings and other past events from Songyang Academy.
After years of renovation, Songyang Academy has indeed repaired many buildings, but if they are really destroyed, the speed is actually quite fast.
Hundreds of people took action together, and when the sun was about to set, the originally quiet and elegant Songyang Academy was already in ruins.
Seeing Songyang Academy once again reduced to ruins, many scholars had blank expressions on their faces, while some teachers who had invested a lot of effort in Songyang Academy were on the verge of crying.
Li Huan looked at Meng Guang and others and sneered: "You can't violate the laws of the imperial court at will, but with Li here, you can't even think about rebuilding Songyang Academy."
After finishing speaking, Li Huan said to Wang Yangming on the side: "Mr. Yangming, let's go back!"
Wang Yangming nodded slightly, glanced at the scholars, and left following Li Huan.
Originally, Li Huan planned to visit the thousand-year-old temple, but after experiencing Songyang Academy, he lost interest.
Wang Yangming was also quite silent along the way. It was obvious that today's events had a great impact on him, and he naturally lost interest.
A few days later, Li Huan, Wang Yangming and their entourage had left Kaifeng Mansion, but the news spread that Songyang Academy had been banned and destroyed under Li Huan's personal order.
As the news spread among the scholars, Li Huan suddenly seemed to become the public enemy of the literati in the world.
Among the capital, the urgent news via Kuai Ma also reached the capital from Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan.
In the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao was looking at the news about Songyang Academy reported by Jin Yiwei. At first, when he saw that Mao Wenli alone had made hundreds of thousands of dollars with the help of the academy, Zhu Houzhao looked extremely solemn, but as he continued to read,
Zhu Houzhao gradually revealed a smile on his lips.
Especially when he saw that Li Huan ordered the destruction of Songyang Academy in front of Mao Wenli and others and ordered the magistrate of Kaifeng to personally supervise it and not allow it to be rebuilt, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but applaud the case and said: "Okay, okay, we should deal with these people."
in this way."
As an emperor, he naturally does not want any forces beyond his control. The world's literary education has its own first-level official schools run by the imperial court, but any promising emperor will never sit back and watch private academies become a common practice.
Perhaps one or two private academies will not affect the overall situation, but once private academies become popular, they will inevitably have a huge impact on the official education of the Ming Dynasty. If these literati who were born in academies do not form a party, it will be fine. Once they want to form a party, then
Academy disciples are not just natural party members.
Although Liu Jin, who was serving on the side, said that he had nothing to do with Li Huan, he praised Li Huan's actions repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Li Huan's move is a great kindness, and it can give a severe blow to the momentum of the civil servant group."
Recently, Liu Jin has suffered a lot from the civil servant group. Although he said that he had attracted some officials from the court to form a eunuch group headed by him, his strength is only above the court. Once he leaves the court,
Tang, then the world is really dominated by the civil servant group.
This can be seen from the fact that the New Deal he implemented was resisted and even tampered with by local officials, both covertly and overtly.
For this reason, Liu Jin even sent eunuchs to the local areas to monitor the situation. However, these eunuchs had different characters. When they arrived at the place, it was fine to work honestly. However, once they arrived, most of them took advantage of Liu Jin's influence to make money.
It is not uncommon for some chamberlains to even cause quite a bit of trouble locally, and even be killed.
It can be said that Liu Jin really worried about the New Deal, suffered all kinds of insults, and made it seem like everyone in the world was his enemy.
Now that Li Huan suddenly banned and destroyed Songyang Academy, it took some of the pressure off the emperor and Liu Jin. It is no wonder that Liu Jin praised Li Huan.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin and said: "Li Qing's move probably offended most of the world's literati. The news from Jin Yiwei mentioned that the dean of Songyang Academy, the teachers and students were all officials who served in the imperial court in the past.
There are so many personal connections, once the news comes, there will be as many memorials to impeach Li Qing as snowflakes."
Liu Jin sneered and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just an impeachment. Others may be afraid, but this is not the first time that Li Huan has been impeached. Your Majesty will just have to stay silent and turn a blind eye."
"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looked outside the imperial study and said, "I don't know where Li Qing and his party are now."
After leaving Kaifeng Mansion, Li Huan and his party obviously increased their speed a lot, but within ten days they had entered the boundary of Wuchang Mansion in Hunan.
Wuchang Prefecture is an important town in Hunan. In this era, with the help of the developed water system, coupled with the superior geographical location of the thoroughfare of nine provinces, adjacent to the south of the Yangtze River, commerce was quite developed.
Li Huan and his party were quite large, so it was obviously impossible for them all to gather together and rush on the road. Otherwise, the formation of hundreds of people would be too inconvenient.
Therefore, Li Huan divided his troops into three teams, with one team of 200 Jinyi guards leading the way, and a team of more than 100 people at the rear. As for Li Huan, Wang Yangming and others led dozens of Jinyi guards in the middle.
There were very few pedestrians on the quiet official road. It was already June and the weather was extremely hot. Under the scorching sun, most of the people's energy seemed to have disappeared.
Li Huan and Wang Yangming were sitting in the carriage at the moment. As the carriage shook, they were also mentally tired and had no interest in playing chess.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves was heard faintly coming from the official road behind. This sudden movement could not help but make the entire team of dozens of people feel refreshed.
When Li Huan heard the movement, he couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look outside. When he saw the direction from which the movement came, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
In sight, a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt, with a beautiful beard, handsome appearance, and about thirty years of elegant demeanor was galloping on his horse with a solemn expression.
The reason why Li Huan became interested was because the other person was holding a sword and had the elegance of a scholar, but was completely different from a real scholar. Li Huan had never seen such a temperament.
The man who looked like a scribe was galloping all the way, giving the impression that he was escaping from something. When he suddenly saw Li Huan and his entourage, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Then he seemed to recognize the brocade hoodies of Li Huan and his party. The scribe shrank his eyes, showing a hint of fear. He took the initiative to look away, and drove his horse past Li Huan and his party on the grass beside the official road.
Not only Li Huan, but also Wang Yangming glanced at the scribe as he rode past, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, and said softly: "What a pure and pure inner breath! Is this person a member of the Taoist sect?"
"
Li Huan couldn't help but glance at Wang Yangming and said, "Mr. Yangming can actually tell which Kung Fu this person practices?"
Wang Yangming smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "What's so difficult about this? Taoism pursues tranquility and nature, and the temperament of people who practice the exercises often gives people a sense of elegance and elegance. Buddhism pays attention to compassion, and practicing Buddhist exercises mostly gives people a sense of compassion.
Sense. That scribe's temperament is refined and elegant, and nine out of ten he has practiced a profound skill that combines the essence of Confucianism and Taoism."
Li Huan nodded and said, "I don't know where this person came from. He has such advanced cultivation at such an age. He must not be an ordinary person."
Wang Yangming smiled and said: "The world is so big, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are so many hermits and masters. We can't just ask someone when we meet them to find out their origins."
Chen Yao, who was following the carriage on horseback, listened to the conversation between Li Huan and Wang Yangming and couldn't help but said: "That man looks like a member of the Jianghu at first glance. Judging from his appearance and appearance, he is not being chased by some enemy."
Li Huan and Wang Yangming couldn't help but be stunned. They couldn't help but think of the scribe's reaction just now. It was really possible that it was what Chen Yao said.
At this moment, another sound of horse hooves came from behind, but this time the movement was obviously much louder. Just hearing the sound of horse hooves showed that there were many people coming.
Soon, in a burst of smoke, more than a dozen cavalry were roaring towards them. These people were full of evil spirits and each held a weapon. Especially these people were wearing hanging gauze and bamboo hats to hide their faces. At first glance, they were not easy to provoke.
Li Huan clearly heard someone among the dozen or so riders exclaim: "They're from Jinyiwei!"
The leader obviously recognized the identity of Li Huan and his party, and said in a low voice with some fear: "Although we are not afraid of the court's hawks and dogs, it is important to chase and kill that person at this time. Please restrain yourself later."
Be careful not to provoke these hawks and dogs."
Although the voices of these people were very low and were even drowned out by the sound of horse hooves, Li Huan couldn't help but heard them clearly with his clear eyes and ears.
The moment these people appeared, Chen Yao and other Jin Yiwei immediately acted on guard, pressing their hands on the handles of their swords. If these people made the slightest mistake, they would draw their swords.
Ta da, da da
These dozen knights obviously did not want to provoke Li Huan and his party, so just like the scribe before, they took the initiative to go around to the grassland beside the official road, speed up and surpass Li Huan and his party, then galloped away, shouting and shouting.
.
Watching those people go away, Chen Yao took his hand back from the handle of the knife and said to Li Huan: "It seems that the man just now was trying to escape from the pursuit of this group of people."
Li Huan nodded slightly, but he was quite surprised in his heart. It was fine that he didn't meet any good players in the world on weekdays, but he never thought that he would meet two of them today.
The scribe before was nothing more than a scribe. Although they had not fought each other, based on his feeling, he must have a good level of cultivation. Even Wang Yangming praised him without seeing him.
As for the group of people who just passed by, at least three of them gave him the same feeling as Chen Yidao. In other words, among the dozen or so people in that group, at least two or three were top-notch players.
Wang Yangming stroked his beard, glanced at Li Huan and said, "Master Li, are you still thinking about the two groups just now? They are just some people in the world who are not bound by the imperial court and have no laws. They are not worthy of being admitted."
Let’s use Dharma Eyes.”
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Li, I heard that there are many martial arts masters in the world. These people are chivalrous and righteous, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, so they live a cool life."
However, Wang Yangming said with disdain on his face: "They are just a group of gangsters who have no respect for the king's law. If they are all like them, what is the use of the king's law and the court?"
Li Huan nodded, perhaps because of his different stance. In the eyes of Wang Yangming, who was born in a family of officials, people in the world are naturally gangsters who are not subject to the constraints of the court. Moreover, these people often use their force to rob wealthy businessmen and gentry, and assassinate the court.
Ming Guan, it would be strange if Wang Yangming had a good impression of these people.
After taking a look at Li Huan, Wang Yangming couldn't help but said: "Maybe there are real chivalrous people among the so-called people in the world, but after all, these people are outside the laws of the imperial court. The stronger they are, the greater the danger. Your Excellency, you still don't want to agree with me."
There are too many intersections between these people."
Obviously Wang Yangming was worried that Li Huan's young mind would become interested in the world out of curiosity, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
The sky was getting dark, and in the wilderness with no villages or shops in front of them, even Li Huan and the others had to find a dilapidated ancient temple to stay.
The ancient temple is dilapidated, but there are many traces of burning bonfires in it. It is obvious that this dilapidated ancient temple has provided a lot of shelter for people coming and going.
As a group of royal guards were busy, they quickly inspected and tidied up the ancient temple and lit a bonfire. Li Huan and others took a break in the ruined temple.
In the middle of the night, the wilderness is quite quiet, except for the occasional shrill cry of night owls from the distant mountains and forests.
In a daze, Li Huan suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, a light flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes, and the two of them looked outside the ancient temple.
You can vaguely hear the sound of gold and iron clashing in the woods hundreds of meters away outside the ancient temple.
"It seems like someone is fighting."
Li Huan couldn't help but think of the two groups of people he had seen during the day, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Since he was curious, Li Huan naturally couldn't sit still. He immediately stood up and called Chen Yao, cupped his hands towards Wang Yangming and said, "Mr. Yangming, I'm going to see what's going on. I'll ask Mr. Yangming to take care of me here."
Two."
Although he has never seen Wang Yangming take action, Li Huan believes that with Wang Yangming here, even if Fang Zheng comes, a strong man of Chongxu's level may not be Wang Yangming's opponent.
Wang Yangming looked at Li Huan and did not dissuade him. He just cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you must be careful."
In the dense forest, several figures were surrounding a blue-shirted scribe. The green-shirted scribe held a sword in his hand and said with an angry face: "A few of them have been chasing Yue for hundreds of miles. Yue asked himself that he has no grievances against you.
Why are we so hard on each other?"
At Yue Buqun's feet lay a corpse, which was obviously killed by Yue Buqun in the fight just now.
The leading man wielded a broadsword with a thick back, resembling a military broadsword. His swordsmanship was sharp and his moves were deadly.
The remaining men either used long swords, big axes, or copper sticks to cooperate with the big man to attack Yue Buqun, but they actually fought back and forth with Yue Buqun.
The leading man heard this and attacked fiercely. His sword skills were superb and he was actually a good swordsman. Otherwise, he would not have been able to trap Yue Buqun with the help of several helpers.
"Hahaha, Yue Buqun, don't you call yourself the Gentleman's Sword? How powerful was your sword in picking out more than a dozen copycat villages back then?"
When Yue Buqun heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes and he said: "Your Excellency has a hoarse voice. He obviously used secret techniques to change his tone and conceal his true appearance. If Yue's prediction is correct, there must be someone Yue knows among you. So why bother trying to be mysterious? What are you talking about about copycat thieves? If those copycat thieves really have the level of cultivation you have, I’m afraid they won’t become bandits.”
Hearing what Yue Buqun said, the leading man immediately became silent, but became more and more ruthless in his attack.
Yue Buqun's face was gloomy. He came down from the mountain this time because he had received news and wanted to go to Fuzhou, Fujian.
He originally brought his eldest disciple Linghu Chong and his daughter Yue Lingshan with him, but he didn't expect that not long after they got off Mount Huashan, Yue Buqun discovered that they seemed to be being targeted by a group of people.
At that time, Yue Buqun ordered Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan to go ahead and stay behind to find out the details of the group of people who had attached themselves to them.
It was just to Yue Buqun's surprise that the strength of this group of people was beyond his expectation. If they were to fight alone, no one would be his opponent. However, these people were obviously good at the art of combined attacks, so that he In several battles with the opponent, he barely managed to kill two or three of them.
Along with a long roar, Yue Buqun's aura changed drastically, and his originally elegant swordsmanship suddenly became more open and close, and for a while, the sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard in the distance.
Li Huan was standing not far away at the moment, watching the two sides fighting. When he heard that the scribe he saw during the day was actually Yue Buqun, Li Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Although he had met Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi before, he knew that this might be the world of Xiaoao, but he did not expect to see the famous gentleman Mr. Jianyue in this situation.
Looking at Yue Buqun, who still seemed to be able to do so with ease under the siege of those people, Li Huan nodded slightly. As expected, Yue Buqun's strength was better than that of a top-notch player. That is to say, these people had many good hands and were good at combined attacks. Otherwise, let's not say anything. If you pursue Yue Buqun, you might be killed by Yue Buqun directly.
However, Li Huan just glanced at it but felt doubtful. During the day, there were more than a dozen of these people, but now there were only a few people surrounding them, which was almost half the number.
Could it be that those people were killed by Yue Buqun?
Just as he was thinking about this, Li Huan suddenly frowned, and there was a sudden sound of breaking through the night sky.
As several figures appeared, sharp arrows shot straight at Yue Buqun.
[Ten thousand words are given here. I don’t know if you would like to watch some of the plots of the capital, the new Jianghu plot, or other plots. The pursuit of highs and lows, I don’t understand, I made a squeak when I saw it. 】
