Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 640 639. Favor Debt, How Do You Pay It Back?
"As for Ma San'er, he took off the hat on the corpse's head, and slapped the non-existent floating ash on it... Alas. Well, you, you are dead, so don't waste this hat, it will be cheaper for me.

Straightforwardly, he put his hat on his head and walked home.

Back home, hey, close the door.Think about it, he entered the city so early in the morning before dawn, and after a day of tossing and turning, with so many things happening, he really couldn't bear it.He threw the hat on the table casually, lay down on the couch, and fell asleep.

This person is tired. Logically speaking, he should feel solid.But as the saying goes, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts calling your door.Ma San'er was also thinking about something in her heart, and she tossed and turned in her sleep, too much tossing and turning.

Feeling like sleeping but not sleeping, I wake up when I turn over, it is uncomfortable no matter what.

And just woke up in such a daze for a while at midnight, suddenly, there was a gust of wind outside: woo woo woo~
That movement, it was like there was a little ghost crying there.

Sneaky, it's uncomfortable to hear.

Ma San'er turned over again, intending to continue sleeping.But at this moment, I suddenly heard three knocks on the door: slam, slap, slap~.

Ma San'er, who had something to worry about, woke up immediately, put his hand under the pillow, took out a sharp knife, and yelled: "Who!
The knocking on the door suddenly stopped.

Ma San'er's eyes narrowed immediately, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movement outside, wanting to see... Mmm!I want to see who it is, you knock on other people's doors when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?Xiao Mian, if you can't tell the reason today, don't blame your Mr. Ma for being black!

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard an unremarkable sentence from outside: Give me back my hat! "

"..."

After half an hour of speaking, the Taoist didn't feel thirsty at all.

But instinctively stopped.

He didn't ask if the other party left... because the tremor in the galaxy reminded him that Luoshen was always there.

Listen quietly, listen quietly.

I never left.

Sure enough, after the Taoist shut up for a long time, a voice automatically came from his mind:
"...And then? Who is this person? Taoist priest, keep talking."

Li Zhen sneered in his heart.

Oh ~ woman.

Then came a sentence without any haste:
"Foretell what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter ~ Break it down!"

"..."

In fact, it's not that Li Zhen is hypocritical and sticks to the rules... Just kidding, grandma is all upper body, if you don't hurry up at this time, what are you still doing with the ink?

The reason he stopped was simple.

Because after half an hour, there was finally movement in Liyang City.

And at this moment, Lord Huqiu's hand accurately found him and "connected" with his hand.

"Taoist priest, may I contact that Shou Jing?"

"Uh... yes."

"Okay, let him go to Sijiuyi and put a sentence for me. Tell Sijiuyi, send a letter to Li Zhong in Luoyang, tell him to tell the people over there in Wagang about the war in Liyang and the appearance of immortals."

"!!"

Although he couldn't see Lord Huqiu's expression clearly, the moment he heard the voice, Li Zhen subconsciously said;
"What do you mean, my lord!?"

And Mr. Huqiu didn't hide from him... Or after that life confession, whenever Li Zhen asked, Mr. Huqiu would always tell him, and never concealed:
"Yu Kuan is close to Luoyang, and the news can be delivered in less than a day. And I figured that as long as Yu Wenhuaji arrives, Chen Ling will definitely let Chen Ling take the initiative to meet him. He will make a decision in one fell swoop. As long as he comes, then Wagang There is no need for the army to worry about anything. They have been huddled long enough, and it is time to attack."

In fact, the moment she spoke, Shou Jing had already gone out.

But after hearing this reason, Yubu took a few steps to reach Shoujing at the entrance of the tavern, and couldn't help saying:
"Could it be possible that the bad woman has a connection with Wa...they also have connections!?"

After finishing speaking, before Li Zhen could reply, he went to look for Si Jiuyi.

But Li Zhen's heart sank:

"My lord and Wagang..."

"Ah."

No need for him to ask further questions, Master Huqiu responded:
"The people who raised the army now are all in contact with me."

"...Where's Sun Hua?"

"Yes. It's just that since he showed the possibility of devouring the Lord, I cut off the connection."

"..."

Looking into the distance, Li Zhen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable at the thousands of soldiers walking out of a piece of military tents...

"My lord contacted Wagang, why?"

"Because I want Zhang Xutuo to die."

"..."

This discomfort turned into a coldness.

"Don't worry, I know that you and that Qin Shubao will never go against each other, so I have already told some people who are most likely to confront that Qin Shubao before. If that Qin Shubao wins, just retreat in time and it will not affect the overall situation. And if he If he is defeated, at most he will be wounded but not killed. Since you value him, I will not hurt his life."

"That Xu Tuo..."

Listening to Lord Huqiu's calm voice, Li Zhen asked subconsciously.

And he didn't try to stop it.

Can't stop it either.

Just kidding?Why stop?
Master Huqiu is playing a game of chess, a big game...

The gains and losses of the chess pieces on the chessboard, from the day she decided to play chess, life and death have been irrelevant.

To put it bluntly... Even now he is a grasshopper on the same rope as Mr. Huqiu.

How to stop it?
From the moment he came into this world until now, he has sympathized with the common people, beggars, poor people... sympathized with many people.But there is no sympathy for these soldiers.

It doesn't matter if they are innocent or not, and it doesn't matter what they are doing for others.

But they all took the knife.

Even if it wasn't for Cui's perfect solution to go to Hedong this time... Li Zhen is already ready to fight those refugees again.

He will not sympathize with those soldiers. It is only right and proper for soldiers to get paid and work hard with swords.

Whether it is for ambition or for the sake of the country, these soldiers are indeed respectable, but with the advent of troubled times, they are destined to be definitely not the group of people who suffer the most.

Therefore, this is why Li Zhenming knew that in history, the second brother had to live a life of ups and downs before meeting Li Shimin again.But it happened that he just gave a hexagram saying that he would be happy with the situation, and then he didn't say anything else.

In this world, suffering is not death.

There is no chance to struggle and resist.

For example, those people who obviously built the cornerstone of this dynasty, but lived a precarious life in this war-torn year.

These people are the ones who really need to be saved.

Not those pawns with knives.

So, let me tell you something.

This is the fate of soldiers.

It is also the final way home.

After hearing the Taoist's hesitation, Lord Huqiu repeated the result he wanted again:
"If I want him to die, he must die too. Not only him, Chen Ling, Yang Yichen, Xue Shixiong... They all have to die. If they don't die, there will be resistance. And if there is resistance, this dynasty will not be able to end by itself. Got it Is it?"

"...My lord, Si Jiuyi doesn't keep quiet."

Li Zhen avoided talking about it and just told her what happened there.

"Let him call Youyiwuwu. Starting today, Youyiwuwu will be in charge of Yu Kuang's contact point. Sijiuyi refuses to follow orders and returns to Luoyang to report to Li Zhong."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Li Zhen said again:
"My lord, this Youyiwuwu is asking my lord where he was born."

"I was born in Changyuan, and there are four brothers and sisters in my family. I have been working for four years, and I arrived in Yuqian on October [-]th in the autumn of a year ago. I issued orders outside Luoyang City."

"..."

After a while, Li Zhen said:
"My lord, Sijiuyi has set off."

"Ah."

Lord Huqiu responded, and finally said:
"Wait patiently, this scene will start soon."

After speaking, she let go of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's mind became quiet again.

Then, under the protection of a row of shield soldiers in front, the thousands of soldiers dispatched by Du Fuwei shouted loudly:

"Grandma Chen! Do you dare to come out and fight me?!"

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched...

"Grandma Chen! She's a coward, but she's only mediocre!"

"Grandma Chen! I am your ancestor..."

The quality is really poor.

This is Li Zhen's first impression.

The second impression is: Is it true that the real version of beating drums and scolding Cao is also played like this?Simple and direct?
But before the third impression was formed, the delicate voice in his head sounded again:

"It's awful, isn't it?"

"……how?"

Li Zhen finally responded positively to her.

no way.

Who made her a grandma?

"Obviously she is friends with everyone, but no matter where she goes, no matter who she is, she will treat everyone with respect. I know that she is extremely dangerous, but I still have that little fantasy, and I want to be friends with her. Allies, even partners...and when you find that all your good intentions are just a dream bubble that you conceived, before you have time to lose, you will face the choice she has to choose... Then, unconsciously Go the way she wants you to go..."

"..."

At first, Li Zhen thought Luoshen was talking about Chen Ling and Du Fuwei.

Unexpectedly...

It turned out that she was talking about Master Huqiu.

But before he had time to think, he heard the voice continue:
"Even you."

"I?"

"Yes, you. Taoist~ have you thought about it? How much your heart will hurt when she betrays you in the future."

"...please tell your story."

"..."

The voice fell silent.

then……

"Glib Taoist priest~"

"Ha~"

Li Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Luoshen asked again:
"So, you are not afraid?"

"Why are you afraid?"

Li Zhen asked back.

"Why, don't you believe that she will betray you in the end?... Hee hee~ Innocent Taoist priest. Before you, do you know how many people firmly believe that she will not betray them? They firmly believe that she will shed their blood for her, but In the end, I found that she will not betray from the beginning to the end, only herself. Taoist priest, don't be stupid."

"Uh……"

Li Zhen was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled:
"Did the layman wrongly blame the poor?"

"how?"

"Pindao is just doing what he wants to do. Things that go well, things that go well. It has nothing to do with Mr. Shi Lang."

"Then why did you come to help her? A Taoist priest who doesn't mean what he says."

"Because Pindao wants to help."

"You know she will leave you in the end, why do you still do that?"

"Because I'm poor and stupid."

Li Zhen continued to speak specious words in a relaxed tone.

But after thinking about it right away... this is grandma.

No, ancestor!

It's not easy to offend, so I quickly gave another reason made up temporarily:
"People who cultivate the Tao are at peace with each other. Meeting is fate. When fate comes, it will arise, and if fate ends, it will disappear. As for what will happen in the middle, whether it is a poor Taoist, a servant, or a layman... what is there to care about?"

"..."

Luo Shen's voice fell into silence.

Li Zhen, on the other hand, watched those people in various colors continue to scold the street... suddenly asked:
"Are they unable to fight today?"

"...Who knows."

"Is that so..."

After making sure he was just cursing, Li Zhen simply started to chant again:
"Difficult, difficult, Daodexuan."

"If you don't have a close friend, you can't talk about it..."

……

The day still didn't start.

For a day, Du Fuwei was cursing.

Scolding from dawn to dusk.

When it gets dark, the troops will be withdrawn.

Li Zhen also spent a day talking about the nine-headed case for four and a half hours.

Not at all hypocritical.

Then, at night, Lord Huqiu, who had been quiet all day, held his hand again:

"Let's go."

"...Don't read it?"

"Well. Come back tomorrow."

"...What if Chen Ling organizes a surprise attack at night?"

"Will not."

Master Huqiu's voice was full of calm confidence.

"Chen Ling only has 8000 people. He knows that he has no chance of winning against Du Fuwei head-on. Therefore, based on the danger of Liyang City, he decided to stick to it and wait for the arrival of the immortals. Today...it seems that the immortals have not yet arrived. And Even if it comes tonight, there will be no action."

"Why?"

"Because he is the No. [-] Xuanbing Immortal in the world. If you were No. [-] in the world, would you engage in some kind of sneak attack?"

"This...of course not...then according to your lord's intention, after the arrival of the immortal, Chen Ling will take the initiative to attack?"

"Correct."

"...Why?"

"Because he is the Xuanbing Immortal."

"..."

Obviously the answers to the two sentences were the same, but Li Zhen still understood the meaning of the words.

In fact, they are all the same.

Because it is number one in the world.

Because it is Xuanbing Renxian.

Therefore, even if it is a matter of battle formation, all enemies will be defeated in an upright manner.

Can't defend, won't stick to it, and won't be a turtle.

Not to mention raids and sneak attacks.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking:

"Does this count as being tired of fame?"

"Who knows, let's go."

I don't know how Mr. Huqiu did it, but suddenly, the smoke in Li Zhen's eyes began to carry a burden... That weird feeling came back from all over his body.

He instinctively closed his eyes again.

Feeling the whole body... the feeling like being licked by the tongue of a beast spread from the whole body to the left hand little by little.

But just when that feeling was about to disappear...

Suddenly, Li Zhen was taken aback.

There was an extra piece in his palm.

Live.

sticky.

The thing was in the palm of his hand, and it seemed that he only needed to shake it to get rid of it.

it……

Save a little, here with Li Zhen.

Then... the choice was given to Li Zhen.

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhen clasped his wrist naturally. When he clenched it tightly, the thing had already left his body and clung to the sleeve of the Taoist robe.

And Master Huqiu didn't seem to notice, after the liquid turned into the little snake and hid it in the cuff, she said:

"Let's go."

"Yes."

Li Zhen, who had been waiting for a whole day, went down the hillside with her, and returned to the station in silence.

"Are you hungry, sir?"

After lighting the candle, following Li Zhen's words, the woman shook her head slightly:
"Make a pot of tea."

Li Zhen wasn't actually hungry either.

Not even thirsty.

So after hearing her words, he took the tea set and soaked some of the little grandma Yunqing left, and Master Huqiu held up the cup and said:

"What's the purpose of keeping that guard in Yuqian?"

"...he likes to tell stories."

Hearing the reason given by Li Zhen, the woman froze...

Then he responded:
"Then stay there."

"……grown ups."

"Ok?"

"Shoujing asked me to ask you: But what do you need him to do?"

"He is willing? You let?"

"The adults are joking."

Li Zhen smiled and shook his head:
"He can do whatever he wants. As long as he is happy~"

"..."

Master Huqiu looked at him in great surprise...

After thinking about it, he suddenly shook his head and sighed:
"Then let him do whatever he wants."

"But now he wants to help you..."

"..."

Looking at her absurd expression, Li Zhen actually thinks that Shou Jing has a milk or a mother now...

Pretty cheap.

But I can't stand it... He really likes bad women.

"Then let him go back to Luoyang. Mrs. Cui, it's only Mrs. Cui after all. What they can give you will never be more than what you give them. Go back to Luoyang and help me watch over Yang Tong, and by the way, save the one who is willing to help you." Hongying who doesn't even want her life and body. And... watch Xuan Suning!"

"...You wait for a while!"

Li Zhen was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly:
"Your Excellency said...save...whom to save?"

"Hongying."

After drinking the tea in the cup, Master Huqiu looked a little playful for some reason:

"Don't you know yet? Yue King Yang Yu and Sun Jingchan are engaged. Sun Jingchan has already returned to Pegasus City to prepare the dowry, and Shuofang Master Liang sent his troops to the south, cutting off the commercial road from the northwest to the Central Plains. And those who could still go to Longnan... ...But Longnan suddenly had an extra Xue Ju, known as the "Overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty", who blocked the land of Longnan in the name of suppressing bandits. In addition to the land in the southwest of Feng Yi controlled by Sun Hua's old army... the entire north-south road , in a sense it was cut off.”

"Is Sun Jingchan safe?"

"Ah."

"That red tassel..."

"She stayed in Luoyang."

"!!!"

Seeing Li Zhen's wide-eyed appearance, Master Huqiu sighed:
"Alas... she is a loving and righteous woman. In fact, it is her that Yang Tong really wants to marry. There is no way, who will let her be considerate. She takes care of our king of the East Palace to the bone. However, she is here No matter how much the East Palace is favored and has a high status, after all, she is only the maidservant of the young suzerain of Pegasus City. Yang Tong wants her, but the etiquette is not right, the name is not right, and the words are not right. Therefore, if there is no blockade of the road, then she will be with Sun Jingchan. Let's go in together. It is also because of her that Sun Jingchan was able to leave Luoyang safely with the people from Pegasus City. He also took the people from the Mo family together."

"Then she..."

"Don't worry, we'll be safe for the time being. From the very beginning, Hongying told Yang Tong that she must marry Sun Jingchan if she wants to get herself... But, Taoist priest, time waits for no one. Yang Tong is definitely not a fool. Some things will be exposed sooner or later... What are you going to do then?"

"..."

In Master Huqiu's eyes that suddenly turned into a half-smile, the Taoist frowned and remained silent for about ten breaths...

Suddenly his eyes became extremely serious, and he looked at Master Huqiu and asked:
"Adults can know that Shoujing's temper is like a child's. He... is very childish."

"Oh? Is it?"

The smile on the corner of the woman's mouth grew stronger:
"So what do you want?"

"It's not about me...it's about keeping quiet."

Li Zhen suddenly sighed:
"He's already planning to spark a fire in Luoyang..."

"..."

Lord Fox Qiu's smile froze.

For a moment, she shook her head helplessly:
"You cunning and greedy Taoist priest."

"……hey-hey."

Hearing this, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Hongying...

How can you pay back what you owe~
