Two hundred and seventy first words: The Battle of Yanmen Pass Thirteen
Li Jing frowned, but had no intention of taking action. He just turned his head and said to Wan He: "Brother Wan, this Shi Wanbao has a high reputation in Chang'an. If we kill him, we will probably offend the people in Chang'an. He hates us, so it’s better to let him go.”
Wan He also frowned, and he also understood this truth. However, if Shi Wanbao was just released, he was a little unwilling to let it go. He nodded, Wan He took a step forward, and shouted at Shi Wanbao: "Shi Daxia , you are a person in the world, and if you don’t have an important connection, you will never interfere with the affairs of the court. But I don’t know who entrusted Daxia Shi to come to this troubled water this time. If Daxia Shi can tell the truth, Then Daxia Shi and these friends of yours can leave, I will not embarrass you at all,"
What Wan He said was true. No matter how high Shi Wanbao's reputation was, he was just a charlatan after all. The charlatans and the court were completely different worlds. If there were no special reasons, Shi Wanbao would not get involved in this. In this case, the person standing behind Shi Wanbao becomes particularly important.
However, Wan He obviously underestimated the importance placed on loyalty by heroes like Shi Wanbao. After listening to Wan He's request, Shi Wanbao looked disdainful, held his head high, raised the sword with seven orifices in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill Just kill him, where does all this nonsense come from, this is how the master of Jingshui Pavilion rapes his disciples,"
Shi Wanbao already regarded Wanhe as the disciple of the master of Jingshui Hall. In normal times, Shi Wanbao would not have dared to be so rude to the disciples of the master of Jingshui Hall. But now Shi Wanbao knew that he had no way out, so he still It's better to ask for a favor, but Wan He was a little confused when the title of Jingshui Pavilion Master suddenly popped up in Shi Wanbao's mouth. He frowned and was about to ask. Li Jing beside him immediately stopped Wan He, but smiled secretly. , whispered to Wan He: "Brother Wan, let them go. I have already guessed the person behind them."
"Uh," Wan He, who was a little confused by Li Jing's words, glanced at Li Jing, and finally chose to believe Li Jing's words and waved his hand at Pei Xingyan. After Pei Xingyan stopped the exercise from the beginning, he returned to his usual self. He was a person with a gentle temperament, so he naturally obeyed Wan He's orders. Then, Pei Xingyan put his hammers back and made an inviting gesture to Shi Wanbao, indicating that Shi Wanbao and others should be allowed to leave. .
Now it was Shi Wanbao and others' turn to be stunned. Previously, Shi Wanbao and others were already prepared to fight Li Jing and Pei Xingyan, especially when Shi Wanbao sternly rejected Wanhe's proposal. , Wan He and others would definitely become angry, but they didn't expect that they would be let go in the blink of an eye. After watching Wan He and others stunned for a long time, they were sure that they were not deceiving themselves. Shi Wanbao's face suddenly flashed He felt a little relaxed, took a deep breath, threw the Seven-Orificed Sword in his hand to the ground, cupped his fists and shouted: "In that case, it's pointless for me to say anything else. This Seven-Orificed Sword should be regarded as an apology for this offense. Everyone." Brother, let's go." After saying that, Shi Wanbao didn't look at the Qiqiao Sword anymore, turned around and left with the remaining six men in black.
After watching Shi Wanbao and others leave, Li Jing couldn't help but admire: "This Shi Wanbao really has a heroic demeanor and behaves in accordance with the rules of the world. No wonder he has become such a famous person." After saying that, Li Jing took a step forward. , picked up the Qiqiao sword that Shi Wanbao left on the ground, and handed it to Wan He.
"Brother Wan, this sword is Shi Wanbao's famous weapon. Although it is not a magic weapon that can cut off hair with just a blow, it is still a rare sword. You have nothing to defend yourself now, so I will leave this seven-orificed sword to you," After handing the Qiqiao Sword to Wan He, Li Jing said with a smile, "Although Brother Wan's martial arts is not good, it is pretty good to have this sword for self-defense."
Wan He took the sword and shook it. The heaviness he originally imagined was not at all. It was as light and light as a stick in his hand, so even if Wan He's strength was small, he would not feel it at all. Wan He could wield this sword, but Wan He did not underestimate this sword. Just now, Shi Wanbao relied on this sword to withstand Pei Xingyan's hammer. There was not even a single scratch on the sword, which shows that the material of this sword is good. Special, far stronger than ordinary sword blades.
However, Wan He's mind quickly turned away from the Seven Orifices Sword. After putting the sword away, Wan He couldn't wait to ask Li Jing: "Brother Li, you said you know the person behind Shi Wanbao, then Who is it?"
"That's right." When Pei Xingyan also put away the copper hammer and came over, Li Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "Since this Shi Wanbao is called the Chang'an Hero, his scope of activities is naturally in Chang'an. Brother Wan might as well think about it. "So far, among the people we have met, who is from Chang'an?"
"Chang'an, uh," Wan He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought for a moment. Soon, Wan He's face showed surprise. He stared at Li Jing with his eyes and exclaimed: "You mean, Li Shentong,"
"Yes, it's Li Shentong," Li Jing nodded vigorously and said, "Li Shentong is a Chang'an city captain and is in charge of the Chang'an army. Moreover, Li Shentong's martial arts are superb, and it is easy for him to get in touch with people like Shi Wanbao. If my guess is correct, this Shi Wanbao must have been entrusted by Li Shentong to attack the young general." Wan He and Pei Xingyan were silent after that. If Shi Wanbao was really invited by Li Shentong, , the mastermind behind the whole thing is self-evident.
The Li family first colluded with the Turks and Goguryeo to besiege Yanmen Pass, and then secretly recruited Jianghu people to block those who went south to seek help. It seems that the Li family really wanted to rebel this time.
After arriving at such a result, Wan He had known the course of history for a long time and had no feeling. However, Li Jing and Pei Xingyan both showed surprise. After all, although the world is full of bandits, they rebelled as a noble family. Yes, I'm afraid the Li family is the first one. Wan He gave a high-five and shouted excitedly: "This is the best. The Li family intends to rebel. As long as we tell the emperor this news, the Li family will be finished."
Wan He has completely fallen out with the Li family. Naturally, he hopes that something will happen to the Li family. In addition, the Li family colluded with Goguryeo assassins to assassinate him last time. Wan He wants to see the Li family destroyed immediately, so that he can be safe. Only when Wan He said this, Li Jing shook his head and said: "Brother Wan, I think it is not appropriate to report this matter to the emperor too early."
Wan He, who was looking excited, was stunned when he heard Li Jing's words. He finally recovered and quickly asked: "Uh, Brother Li, what do you mean by this? Isn't this a great opportunity?" , we just took this opportunity to uproot the Li family, and when we were in Nao County, didn’t you also agree to do this?”
Li Jing smiled bitterly, spread his hands outward, and said: "I had the same idea as you before, but just yesterday, before we left, when I talked about this matter with Liu Wenjing, Liu Wenjing advised me not to act too early. Li family,"
"Liu Wenjing," Wan He heard what Li Jing said, and then he remembered the Jinyang Order who came to report the news. It seemed that since he learned that the Turks besieged Yanmen Pass, Wan He had no intention of paying attention to this little person anymore. It seemed that about Liu Wenjing He just left it to Li Jing to deal with it, but now he heard Li Jing talking about Liu Wenjing. Wan He couldn't help but frown and asked: "Liu Wenjing is still here, what does he mean by that?"
Li Jing nodded and said: "The area around Taiyuan is now dominated by the Li family. Liu Wenjing intercepted the secret message sent by the Turks to the Li family. It was obvious that he had offended the Li family. Although he was the order of Jinyang, he had offended the Li family. After moving into the Li family, there was no way he could stay in Taiyuan any longer, so I took the decision to take him with me. As for Liu Wenjing not letting us report this matter to the Li family, there were other reasons. Liu Wenjing felt that now The power of the Li family has taken root in the Taiyuan area. With the current strength of the court, even if we report this matter to the emperor, I'm afraid we still can't do anything to the Li family. We might as well ask for the Li family through this secret letter. More benefits,”
"Oh," Wan He's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard what Li Jing said. Wan He has become more and more fond of extortion recently. Wan He immediately asked Li Jing: "Brother Li, what about Please tell me quickly how we can ask for benefits from the Li family and how much benefits we want,"
Wan He's attitude was much more positive than before, which made Li Jing sweat on his forehead. Just when Li Jing was about to speak, Pei Xingyan suddenly coughed slightly. Wan He and Li Jing closed their mouths at the same time and turned their heads. At first glance, it was the two Royal Forest Army cavalry who had retreated to the side, supporting Lai Hong and walking towards this side. Lai Hong had a lot of wounds on his body, but after a brief bandage, he was basically fine. Judging from his appearance, I am afraid that it is due to excessive bleeding and physical exhaustion. He will recover after a few days of rest. Wan He immediately went up to him and said to Lai Hong with concern: "Brother, how are you? There is nothing wrong with the injury. Bar,"
Lai Hong's slightly pale face shook slightly, and then asked with some urgency: "I'm fine, Lord Wan, aren't you from Guo County? Why did you come here? Those thirty thousand people under your command Where are the Royal Guards?"
Seeing Lai Hong's anxiety, Wan He immediately replied: "Brother, don't worry, I have already received information before and knew that the Holy Emperor was besieged by the Turks, so I have mobilized all my troops to come to rescue him. The three of us are just going first." One step, and the army is behind and will arrive soon,"
