Chapter 184: Silly people have their own silly blessings
Li Xian's eyes were cold, but there was not much resentment in his heart, but deep worries - the prince had never been a master willing to accept his fate, so he couldn't tolerate the current situation, which was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. It is inevitable to find a way to break the situation. Li Xian has known this for a long time. He also knows that if the prince wants to take action, Li Xian will most likely be attacked first. Today's farce is a dangerous signal. If it were in the past, Li Xian is not afraid of the prince's petty tricks. The soldiers on the left and right are just blocking him, and the water and soil are covering him up. But there is nothing to worry about. The problem is that now that Li Xian is about to go on an expedition, he has no intention or ability to pay attention to the court situation. If something goes wrong, it will cause trouble. If things go wrong, the only power in Li Xian's hands will be uprooted, and this is a result that Li Xian absolutely cannot accept.
No matter what the situation is, as long as it is a situation, there is a way to solve it. The same is true for the current situation. Since Li Xian can predict that the prince will attack him, he naturally has a way to deal with it, and it is not difficult to say it. , as long as Li Xian is having sex with the prince, the prince will naturally have no energy to play those shady little tricks. The problem is that in the trouble, it is not the brothers who take the big advantage in the end, but the people in Luoyang who are watching covetously. Empress Wu, and this may be the fundamental reason why Empress Wu did not interfere with Li Xian's request to take command. Obviously, Empress Wu also calculated that such a situation would arise. In this way, a difficult choice was made. In front of Li Xian - if he advances, both sides will suffer, and if he retreats, Li Xian himself will suffer a big loss. If he doesn't advance or retreat? Then he will be at a loss. The only chance is to advance and retreat in order to find a solution. A relatively acceptable result, but the degree is really difficult to grasp, especially when the expedition is imminent. Li Xian cannot mediate at all. He can only rely on Li Xian to take charge of the overall situation, and Li Xian's impulsiveness Li Xian really couldn't rest assured about his temperament.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these scraps?"
Just when Li Xian was in a daze, Ling Zhong strode forward with the horizontal knife that was still dripping blood, pointing at the dozens of people lying on the ground moaning.
The store clerk, who couldn't stop groaning, asked loudly for instructions.
"Your Highness, please spare your life!"
"Your Highness, we were all forced to do this by Niu San. Your Highness, we were wronged..."
"Your Highness, spare my life. I don't dare to do it anymore. Your Highness, please spare me for once..."
…
As soon as Ling Zhong finished speaking, the gang of store clerks who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead were all frightened. They crawled to the ground one after another, kowtowed and wailed like garlic, and all the victims who were watching had expressions on their faces. He was so pale that everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xian.
"Your Highness, God is kind to you. These guys are not doing anything wrong. I dare to beg for mercy. Please show mercy to Your Highness."
Patriarch Liu was talking to Li Xian before, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Cheng Min. He had not gone far and was standing near the entrance of the porridge shed. When he saw Li Xian's expression was grim, and all the waiters howled. He cried so pitifully that his compassion suddenly arose, so he bravely walked up to Li Xian, bowed and begged.
"My father-in-law is right. Now that the main culprit has been killed, the accomplices should be dealt with by Deng Da, the store manager of the company. There is no reason to go beyond the control of others. We still need people to serve porridge, so let these people wait for their crimes to be completed." Li Xian had no intention of doing so. Kill all those gang members. After hearing the old patriarch's plea, he naturally followed the flow and followed the flow of good deeds.
"Thank you for your kindness in not killing, Your Highness. We will be responsible for our crimes."
"Your Highness is wise, I won't dare to do it again."
…
Hearing that there was hope of survival, all the store clerks became excited, and they all hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude for not killing him.
"You must remember that there are gods three feet above your head, and heaven and earth cannot be deceived. If there are any offenders again, don't blame me for being merciless and just continue to give porridge." Li Xian had something on his mind at the moment, so he was too lazy to follow.
The gang members talked nonsense, and after giving some instructions, they led Jiang Ye and others to move away from the crowd, intending to return to the camp.
"Your Highness, please stay."
Before Li Xian could walk out of the crowd of onlookers, the old patriarch suddenly chased him from behind and shouted loudly.
"Is there anything else, hubby?"
Although Li Xian was in a hurry to return to the camp and think about countermeasures, he was not so anxious that he even forgot to respect the elders and care for the young. When he heard the old patriarch shouting, Li Xian immediately stopped and turned around, gently
asked extremely.
"Your Highness Haihan, I have a heartfelt request." The old patriarch first bowed his hands to Li Xian with an apologetic expression, then turned to look at Liu Ziming who was standing dumbly not far away, and stamped his feet.
He lowered his foot and said: "Ziming, what are you doing standing there, why don't you come over quickly!"
"Oh." Liu Ziming scratched his forehead and responded without knowing why. He quickly ran to the old patriarch's side and reached out to help the old patriarch's arm. Unexpectedly, the old patriarch waved his hand impatiently and blocked Liu Zimin's hand.
As soon as he made that move with his hand, Liu Ziming was immediately confused and stood on the spot in utter embarrassment.
"Your Highness, Zi Ming was brought up by the little old man. Although this child is a little naughty, he is very strong. He received guidance from an expert in the early years and is somewhat capable, but he is prone to getting into trouble. Little old man
My son is old and I can no longer control him. If His Highness can be kind enough to follow me, even being a groom would be a good idea." The corners of the old patriarch's mouth twitched and he begged in a humble tone.
"My father-in-law is serious. Zi Ming has to make up his own mind about this matter." Li Xian had noticed that Liu Ziming was quite skilled when he was watching the melee, and he had intended to win him over to his subordinates, but was later defeated by Cheng.
Min Yi interrupted and was in a bad mood, so he stopped thinking about this matter. At this time, he saw that the old patriarch took the initiative to send the person over, but there was no reason why he was not allowed. However, if you should ask, you still have to ask.
As last time, after saying a polite word to the old patriarch, he stopped talking and just looked at Liu Ziming with a smile, who was scratching his head.
"Patriarch, if I leave, who will help you?" Liu Ziming really didn't have much thought. He didn't think about the glory and wealth he would get after following Li Xian. Instead, he was worried that the old patriarch would have no one to take care of him.
The innocent heart is obvious.
"Silly boy, I still can't die. Kneel down and kowtow to His Highness!"
The old patriarch sincerely hoped that Liu Ziming would have a great future. He had seen that Li Xian was decisive in killing without losing his benevolence, which proved that he must be a British master, so he decided to hand Liu Ziming into the hands of Li Xian. At this time, he saw that Liu Ziming had no intention of doing anything.
Realizing his good intentions, he was so angry that his beard stood up, stamped his feet, and cursed.
"oh."
Liu Ziming never dared to disobey the old patriarch's words. When he saw that the old patriarch was angry, he did not dare to neglect him. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xian.
This kid is really cute and stupid! When he saw Liu Ziming kowtowing without saying anything, Li Xian couldn't help teasing Liu Ziming's thoughts, and then let him kowtow for more than ten times before saying
He spoke slowly and said: "Ziming, why did you kowtow so many times to Gu for the sake of Shenzi?"
"The old patriarch asked me to kowtow, so I will kowtow."
Liu Ziming told the truth, but everyone around him was made to laugh. Even Li Xian was amused by this nonsensical answer.
"Well, I can't accept your kowtow in vain. Well, I'll give you two choices. First, if Nian'er dared to see injustice on the road before, Gu will reward you with a hundred dollars. You can just go with the clan leader.
To settle down in a foreign country, secondly, it is okay to follow this king, but the ugly words are ahead. The rules in my palace are very strict. If you break it, the punishment will not be light. Furthermore, I am a martial artist, so I will inevitably go to jail.
If you have the guts to fight for your life on the battlefield, then follow me and fight for your future with sword after sword. It is your choice where you go." Although Li Xian liked Liu Ziming's honesty very much, he also had the intention to recruit him under his command.
However, Li Xian did not want to force it, so he gave Liu Ziming two ways to choose.
As soon as Li Xian said this, the crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into laughter, not for any other reason, but because the reward of one hundred guan was really astonishing. You must know that this is a year of great disaster, and you can have 100 guan of money.
With this in hand, the journey of migration will be smooth, and no one will be dissatisfied. While many people are envious, they can't help but regret why they didn't stand up and do something brave before, but they took advantage of a stupid boy like Liu Ziming.
.
"Your Highness, I don't want money. Your Highness will give me the hundred dollars in the village. I will go with Your Highness. Even if I work as a cow or a horse, I will never complain." The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, but Liu Ziming didn't kneel there for a long time.
He spoke out, holding it in until his face turned purple. Finally, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was suddenly killed.
Hey, is this kid really stupid? I'm going to choke him, is he stupid or am I stupid? As soon as Li Xian heard Liu Ziming's answer, the black lines on his forehead immediately came out, and he felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Nonsense!" The old patriarch became anxious when he heard this. He was counting on Liu Ziming to have a good future. When he heard what Liu Ziming said, for fear that Li Xian would be displeased, he hurriedly stamped his foot, scolded Liu Ziming, and then said:
He bowed to Li Xianyi with a face of shame and said: "Your Highness Haihan, this guy is very stupid. Being able to follow Your Highness is a blessing he has earned in three lifetimes. If Your Highness sees his perverseness, just beat him and scold him."
Already."
"My husband, you don't have to be like this. It's rare for Ziming to be filial and to take care of himself. Now that I've given you these hundred coins, I'll ask Ziming to take them to you later. I still have some secular affairs to deal with, so I'll go ahead."
Although the number of hundreds of strings is not small, it is nothing to Li Xian. If it can be exchanged for a talent who can obviously be a surprise general, it is obviously worth it. Li Xian has never been stingy in this regard, so he smiled
He made a promise, then turned around and led his men directly towards the camp.
"Silly boy, hurry up and catch up!"
The old patriarch was very pleased with Liu Ziming's filial piety, but when he saw that Li Xian had already left, and Liu Ziming was still kneeling on the ground stupidly, he immediately became anxious and cursed angrily.
"Oh." Seeing that the old patriarch was worried, Liu Ziming hurriedly responded with a dull voice, stood up, took long steps, and rushed towards Li Xian and his party...
