"What a man who uses detours to become straightforward." Bai Fu secretly praised in his heart. His body was like lightning, and his long sword was picked quickly, turning complexity into simplicity, and piercing into the eye of the storm.
"Ding", the swords clashed, and both of them were shaken.
The masked man was also shocked. What Bai Fu stabbed was the force point of the long sword, which is also the point where the true energy is converted. Bai Fu used his sword to remove the old force and restrain the new force. Otherwise, the strong energy of his long sword would be like
Sand dunes and waves of sand come one after another. With his eyesight alone, this person cannot be underestimated.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Fu followed the same pattern and turned around. The sword edge drew an arc and swept towards the masked man's neck. This arc, seemingly simple, indeed contains the secret of the curve of heaven and earth, making it impossible for the opponent to hide.
The masked man could not turn around to dodge, so he could only take a forceful move, stand upright with the sword, and block the blade.
The two men immediately spun away at the same time, and then stopped spinning and stood still. The two stared at each other, sizing up their opponent.
Bai Fu saw that this man's eyes were gray and yellow, emitting a fierce and blazing light, like a wolf looking for food in the wilderness.
Seeing that Bai Fu was just a young man, the man sneered and pounced forward. His sword technique changed, he picked up a blade of light and slashed at Bai Fu. Each sword was powerful and heavy, the sword was dignified, and the Gang Qi locked Bai Fu.
Repeat and change.
By comparison, Bai Fu feels that just now it was a tornado of sand and dust, filling the sky with dust. Now the sand dunes are crushing you, trapping you in the formation. From time to time, there are quicksand traps and undercurrents surging under your feet.
Bai Fu took a sneak peek and saw Li Xuexuan standing down from a high place, knocking down the other masked men who wanted to climb to the top of the cliff one by one, and he couldn't help but feel reassured.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. This person is the leader of the group. Only by completely eliminating this person can he escape freely. Bai Fu gave up the idea of a quick victory and decided to fight slowly and steadily.
Bai Fu took a deep breath, the spiritual platform was clear, and he used the sword technique he learned from Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow Shi Qing Tie".
Bai Fu's sword technique suddenly changed. It was no longer as sharp and sharp as Shicai's sword. His stipples were gentle and gentle, and his hooks and hooks did not reveal the edge. The sword was round and powerful, with the edge hidden in the circle. His thrusts and thrusts were evenly undulating, either light or heavy or fast.
It may be slow, it may be broken or it may be connected, it may flow and stop, or it may stop and flow, it is leisurely and unhurried, and the strength is hidden in the bones.
The sword's intention runs through the ink, and is alive but not stagnant. When the sword is drawn out, the murderous intent emerges. When the sword is closed, it is smooth and ironed, hiding an ambush. It is like water reaching the rim of a cup, even if it is full, it will not overflow.
No matter how the masked man destroys the violent wind and sandstorm, he cannot shake it in the slightest.
What makes the masked man even more horrified is that Bai Fu's swordsmanship seems to be agile, elegant, and unconventional, with no trace to be found, but in fact, the strength is hidden in the bones, and the sword's true energy is more than a thousand pounds. Every time the swords and swords intersect, his tiger body shakes violently.
His energy was greatly depleted. This was the first time he encountered such swordsmanship in many days in the Central Plains.
Bai Fu immersed his whole head in the cold stream and felt refreshed.
The more than ten wounds on his body had stopped bleeding, but he still felt that being able to lie down and take a good rest was the greatest gift from God.
Even in the fierce battle, he still survived. Those defeated by him were only injured, but they could not recover in a short time. After a fierce battle for an entire hour, the early sun brought extremely unfavorable sunlight to them. At this time, they could
It is especially precious to steal a moment and enjoy this quiet, quiet stream in the forest.
At this moment, he could no longer think about the struggle and vendetta that was happening around him.
As he drank water one after another, his strength seemed to be greatly improved.
Xu Chong was appointed governor of Bianzhou (Kaifeng) and served as the envoy of Beigou Ditch Dam and Jiuhe River in Henan Province.
As Li Linfu expected, Yang Guozhong immediately turned his gun and pointed it at him after he replaced Wang Fei.
Yang Guozhong made a big fuss out of Wang's case, accusing Li Linfu of secretly colluding with Wang's brothers, and also being involved with the Turkic rebel general Abu Si. Abu Si was a Turkic general who once surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but later had a rift with An Lushan.
And rebelled again and returned to Mobei.
In order to completely bring down Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong also encouraged Chen Xilie and Ge Shuhan to come forward to testify. Of course, Xuanzong would not easily accept the accusations made by Yang Guozhong and others. But despite this, from this time on, Xuanzong gradually alienated Li Linfu.
Instead, he gave all his trust and favor to Yang Guozhong.
At this point, it was a foregone conclusion that Yang Guozhong would become the prime minister, and Li Linfu had become a thorn in his side that he wanted to get rid of. "Guo Zhonggui shocked the world, and he began to regard Lin Fu as his enemy..."
In this fierce political battle, Yang Guozhong is likely to have the last laugh.
Faced with such a bad situation, Li Linfu inevitably felt that he was treading water. For the first time in his life, he felt fear.
For the first time in his life, this powerful prime minister, who was a highly respected minister, had great power and dominated the imperial government for more than ten years, felt a strong fear...
But in the last years of Tianbao, with the strong rise of Yang Guozhong in the imperial political arena, the era of Li Linfu monopolizing the political agenda was gone forever...
In the winter of the eleventh year of Tianbao (AD 752), Yang Guozhong became increasingly favored, and his tendency to worship the prime minister was already very obvious.
Just when Li Linfu was thinking hard about how to deal with it, a battle report suddenly came from Jiannan Road, saying that Nanzhao troops had invaded many times. The soldiers and people of Shu unanimously asked Yang Guozhong, who was leading the Jiannan Jiedushi from afar, to go back to guard. Li Linfu was overjoyed and immediately petitioned Xuanzong.
, ordered Yang Guozhong to go on an expedition.
Although Yang Guozhong had been a soldier, he had never fought in a war. If he was really asked to go to the border to command operations, even if he did not risk his life, he would definitely be a loser. Yang Guozhong, who wanted to be prime minister, certainly did not want to take on this hot potato.
, so she cried and told Xuanzong that Li Linfu suggested letting him go on an expedition, which was clearly to frame him. At the same time, Yang Guifei also repeatedly interceded for Yang Guozhong. Xuanzong quickly comforted him and said: "You go first and arrange the military defense.
, I will wait for you to come back as soon as possible, and I will appoint you as prime minister as soon as you come back!"
With the emperor's promise, Yang Guozhong finally took reassurance, so he reluctantly set off. Knowing that Yang Guozhong's appointment as prime minister was a foregone conclusion, Li Linfu was greatly worried, but he had no idea, and he suddenly fell ill in panic.
rise.
This political strongman who had been at the pinnacle of power in the empire for many years has finally fallen irretrievably.
Yang Guozhong arrived in Jiannan, and within a few days, Xuanzong couldn't wait to summon him back.
As soon as he returned to court, Yang Guozhong heard that Li Linfu was too ill to get up. He was secretly happy, but at the same time he was full of suspicion.
This old boy is very cunning. Could he be pretending to be ill and trying to defraud me?
Yang Guozhong visited Li Linfu with great caution and doubt, and knelt down in front of his bed with extremely stiff movements. Li Linfu opened a pair of dull old eyes, stared at Yang Guozhong for a long time, and finally weakly
He said: "Lin Fu is dead, I will be the prime minister, and I will be tired of everything in the future!" I am going to die, you will definitely become the prime minister, and I will trouble you in the future!
Yang Guozhong was stared at by Li Linfu, but he was still not sure that this old guy was really about to die. "No.
Do you dare to take it or not..." Yang Guozhong waved his hands repeatedly, sweating profusely, and the expression on his face was one of embarrassment.
Obviously, until this moment, Yang Guozhong still suspected that Li Linfu was deceiving him, deceiving him, or testing him. But he actually blamed Li Linfu wrongly.
There is a saying: When a person is about to die, his words are kind, and when a bird is about to die, its song is sad. At the last moment of his life, Li Linfu really wanted to reconcile with Yang Guozhong sincerely, because his most concerned thing now is no longer who should be in charge.
Prime Minister, but no matter who becomes Prime Minister, he hopes that this person can help him preserve the honor and glory behind him, as well as the fame, fortune, glory and wealth of his descendants. Now that Yang Guozhong's appointment as prime minister is a certainty, what other reasons does Li Linfu have?
To obstruct it?
Of course he hopes to reconcile with Yang Guozhong.
But the question is - is Yang Guozhong willing to reconcile with him?
