In the twenty-fifth year of its prosperity, the Northern Han Dynasty defeated Qinzhou, Princess Jiaping retreated to Jinyang, and the Yong army threatened to massacre the city. The common people all went north to avoid the disaster of war. The roads were blocked by smoke and dust, and the roads were difficult. Everyone, old and young, cried out. Invincible asked himself to be the king.
The rear army. Yong's army was in a desperate situation, but was blocked by Wudi. Finally, due to exhaustion, he was trapped by Yong's army. Wudi took Yong's prisoner Xuan Song as a hostage and threatened Yong's commander to rescue the siege, but he survived.
However, before Wu Di arrived in Jinyang, the roads were noisy and everyone said that he had surrendered to the enemy. The Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty did not notice and issued an edict to kill him. There were countless rumors at that time, and Wu Di was irrefutable. Princess Jiaping did not know about his injustice and ordered him to go away.

——"History of the Northern Han Dynasty: Biography of Duan Wudi"
Thirty miles east of Pingyao City, the deserted village was deserted and desolate. A group of Yong Army scouts went north along the road like a whirlwind. They were still several miles away from the village. A dozen Yong Army soldiers rode out of the formation, entered the village, circled around, and returned.
When he arrived at the team, he reported to the leading officer: "The village is deserted and the houses are in good condition and can be used as a place to camp."
The officer nodded and said: "Don't be careless. The traitors of the Northern Han Dynasty have made many sneak attacks and harassments in recent days. Our army is quite tired. You can follow me to search the village thoroughly and not leave any hidden dangers. Although the Chinese army will guard it.
But if they find anything wrong, I'm afraid we can't afford the punishment."
Those Yong soldiers agreed with a bang. Except for a dozen people who were still on guard outside the village, the rest went into the village to search without missing anything suspicious. The leading officer even picked out a few neat houses first.
He inspected it inside and out, and then sat down personally to wait for the arrival of the Chinese army.
Half an hour later, with the golden dragon flag fluttering in the wind under the setting sun, the Yong Army's central army arrived at the deserted village. Then the army began to camp outside the village, while the Yong Army's commander, Qi Wang Li Xian, entered the village to rest. The guards had already cleaned the house.
, although it was just a temporary residence, the bed was replaced with the brocade bedding used by Li Xian during his march, all the utensils and utensils were brought by the army, and even the windows were covered with brocade curtains. The originally simple and simple farmhouse was transformed into a
It has been transformed into a comfortable and luxurious hotel.
After Li Xian summoned all the generals to have a meal together, they gathered around the silver lamp to discuss the military plan. Hidden in the corner of the room was the evil figure Li Shun. He looked gloomy and seemed very unhappy because he had to stay in King Qi's camp.
, so he was taken as a guard by Li Xianchong. If not, he would have gone to find a secluded place to practice and meditate.
Li Xian said angrily: "This Duan Wudi is really invincible. I attacked fiercely, so he chose the danger and defended it. If I relaxed a little, he came to attack the stronghold secretly, or else he came to seize my kingdom."
Baggage, I have been harassed by him these days. Tomorrow our army can attack Pingyao. This is one of the most fortified cities in the Northern Han Dynasty. If Duan Wudi defends the city, I am afraid it will delay my king for a few more days.
, do you have a plan to make him abandon the city early? Huh, as long as I wait until this king arrives at Jinyang City, I will see what other tricks he can come up with. Now General Changsun is going around to wipe out the sporadic rebel armies in various parts of the Northern Han Dynasty, making rapid progress.
It would be really embarrassing if I need his help to attack Jinyang."
King Qi's favorite general Xia Ning was eager to say: "Your Highness, although Duan Wudi is difficult to deal with, as long as he is willing to face us head-on, what are we afraid of what he will do? Your Highness, please let the last general attack the city. It won't take three days. We can definitely do it."
Destroy the city."
Fan Wencheng sneered: "If we attack the city with all our strength, are you still needed? None of us can take command. Your Highness wants to reduce some losses. After all, our Zezhou Army's losses this time are not light."
The generals made plans one after another, but the more Li Xian listened, the more he frowned. Duan Wudi had the fortified city of Pingyao as his backing, and nearly 10,000 troops in his hands. If he wanted to attack by force, he would suffer heavy losses. Although he knew that Duan Wudi's weakness was his love for the people, if he threatened
It is possible to trap the people and attack the city, or use other means to force Duan Wudi to abandon Pingyao. After all, Duan Wudi's purpose is just to delay the Yong army's journey. But not to mention that the people of the Northern Han Dynasty have already escaped wherever they pass now.
Even if he could catch enough civilians, he did not want to deepen the hatred between him and the civilians of the Northern Han Dynasty when the Northern Han Dynasty was about to be destroyed. Although Jing Chi's bloodthirsty reputation forced the people along the way to flee, Li Xian
He didn't really want to slaughter the city and destroy the village. He, Li Xian, was not cruel by nature. He didn't want to implicate innocent civilians if it was unnecessary.
Li Shun stood in the shadow of the room and could not help but curl his lips slightly. If the young master had not given the order, he would have gone to Qinyuan to serve the young master if Xuan Songsheng wanted to see people or see the body after death. Why bother to stay here?
He didn't leave here, and was treated as a hard worker by the King of Qi. Why did Xuan Song remain in Duan Wudi's hands, but he couldn't find a chance to save people. He could only stay with Li Xian and take a camera to save people. Seeing that everyone was discussing more and more enthusiastically, what kind of evil ways
They all started to figure it out, and Li Shun quietly floated out of the room, wanting to breathe the cold air. The air outside was very fresh, and Li Shun felt much more comfortable. He couldn't help but walk in the dim starlight and flickering lights.
Immersing his mind between heaven and earth, Li Shun quietly savored the endless night. Suddenly, Li Shun felt a palpitation in his heart. He looked into the distance as if he was aware of it. Across thousands of troops, copper walls and iron walls, the darkness penetrated deep into the distance.
There was a faint murderous aura, a familiar aura.
Since the battle with Fengyi Sect Master, Li Shun has benefited a lot. His hard training in the East China Sea has made his innate realm a step further. Except for a few people in the world, he has no opponent. Now he has mastered the "soul locking" technique.
A person with martial arts and a certain level of martial arts will be mentally alert as long as he is within a certain distance of him. This distance is not fixed and is closely related to the depth of martial arts of both parties. If the opponent is an ordinary person, unless he is
Deliberately pay attention, otherwise it will be difficult to form a warning sign in his mind. If the other party is a master who has not entered the innate realm, he can sense it within more than ten miles as long as the person's mood swings are slightly violent. If the other party is also an innate extreme
If the opponent is a master of counting, then there will be more variables. If the opponent's cultivation is better than his, or he is good at convergence, it will be difficult to detect the opponent's existence. For example, Duan Lingxiao assassinated Jiang Zhe that day. Although it was planned in advance, but Duan Lingxiao was
Before taking action, Li Shun did not clearly feel Duan Lingxiao's existence. If the other party was like the man in the darkness, he had entered the innate realm not long ago, his cultivation was still shallow, and he had not yet reached the soul-locking realm. For Li Shun, this kind of innate
A master is more likely to leave traces on his heart than an ordinary master who is hostile.
Of course, if they reach the level of Master Fengyi and Master Cizhen, there is no way they can conceal their existence. Therefore, although they had never met each other in Yongdu in the past, they saw each other's changes in mood and actions as if they were witnesses.
Normally, if he was in front of those two people, Li Shun knew that it would be impossible to hide his emotions. Fortunately, a person with the status of a master would not take action easily.
Li Shun thought for a while and already made a guess from the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar aura, and that the man had murderous intent but not murderous intent, and his identity was even more obvious. He smiled coldly, swept into the darkness, and passed through the company camp in the blink of an eye.
Arriving at a remote hill outside the camp, I saw a young man in black robe standing on the hill under the waning moon and sparse stars, his expression indifferent and lonely. Next to him stood a young man in black, carrying a piano bag behind him.
His expression was also a little gloomy. When Li Shun saw these two people, a faint smile appeared on his lips and he said loudly: "It turns out that Mr. Qiu is back. How is the scenery of the East China Sea?"
Qiu Yufei said indifferently: "Do you think I'm here to assassinate you?"
Li Shun shook his head and said: "You are a smart man, you should know that it is impossible, but why did the young master let you out so quickly? If it weren't for the young master's handwriting, you would never have been able to escape from Jinghai Villa."
Qiu Yufei took a deep look at Li Shun and said: "Your young master has a far-reaching plan for his actions. Letting me out will naturally be of use to me, but I may not let him get what he wants. I wanted to see him this time
, asked him a few words, but I heard that you are in Li Xian's camp. I think even if I were to come, he wouldn't see me. You don't have to worry that I will assassinate him. If I dare to take action, I'm afraid that Sang
The master will not let me go. I dare not speculate on Mr. Sang's state, but even the master may not be able to win. I have sent a message to Jinyang that no one from the Demon Sect will assassinate the Marquis of Chuxiang. Mr. Sang can do it.
The backing is that even Master is unwilling to commit murder. What's more, the situation in the Northern Han Dynasty has deteriorated to this point. Even if Master takes action, nothing can be restored. We, the Demon Sect, will not do such reckless things."
Li Shun held up his palm and said, "Young Master Qiu said it well. If you had been so smart back then, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the Young Master to use you to create a wedge between you."
Qiu Yufei's expression changed several times, and he said after a while: "Sure enough, I fell into a trick that day. I received a letter from the Marquis of Chuxiang a few days ago. There were many apologies in the letter, so I already had suspicions. I made repeated guesses. After hearing from Mr. Sang,
After some advice, I realized that I had been deceived in the past."
Li Shun smiled slightly. If he had known Jiang Zhe's intentions, he would definitely reveal the truth about Shi Ying's injustice at this time and use it to attack Duan Wudi. When Qiu Yufei suddenly returned to Northern Han, he expected that Jiang Zhe would give up the truth.
He knew that under temptation, it would not happen as expected.
Qiu Yufei sighed softly, turned around and was about to go, but stopped and said: "That day, Suiyun and I met in the middle of the road. Although I had malicious intentions, I still regarded him as a close friend. I didn't know that he was always hypocritical.
pretend?"
Li Shun said solemnly: "Even if the young master is very scheming, if it weren't for your talent and refined character, how could the young master give me the Qingyuan piano score as a gift? The musical score was the hard work of my late father. If the young master was hypocritical, how could he bear the pain and give up his love? Your Excellency."
If you still resent the young master because of the hostility, you can do whatever you want, but you must not doubt the sincerity of the young master that day."
Qiu Yufei was silent for a long time and walked away. The young man was none other than Ling Duan, following closely behind him. After a while, the two of them disappeared into the night.
A chill flashed in Li Shun's eyes, and he looked at Pingyao City as if through the darkness. Su Qing should have made arrangements now. Rumors must have spread from Pingyao to Jinyang that Long Tingfei was caught in a divorce plan and forced Quartz to death.
, now that Long Tingfei is dead, the people involved in the past will be under greater pressure. Duan Wudi played a big role in this matter, and will inevitably be severely criticized by the upper class of the Northern Han Dynasty. Even Princess Jiaping and others understand
Duan Wudi is so innocent that he may not be able to forgive his actions.
Li Shun couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the secret bag that the young master had secretly given to him when he was ordered to hand it to Su Qing when the King of Qi entered the army.
He took out a short card with a few lines of words written on it.
"Instruct Su Qing to spread rumors and mention the things that alienated Shi Ying in the past, so as to mess up Duan's invincible military spirit. Duan is kind-hearted and unwilling to betray others. He will be ashamed to death. If his actions are wrong, he will take advantage of the opportunity. He will have no role in the court.
People are at the critical moment of life and death in the Northern Han Dynasty, and they are easy to take advantage of."
Li Shun smiled faintly, rubbed his right hand gently, and the short scarf was wiped out.
