Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 581 I will teach you how to be a loving father and a filial daughter!
At the same time, things were not peaceful in DTZ either. Zhao Deyan informed Wu Zun Bi Xuan of the news that Tuoba Yu was killed by Zhu Yuyan. His eldest disciple was dead, and now his second disciple was gone too, leaving only the third disciple Chun Yuwei, a female disciple who was not up to the task. Bi Xuan's younger brother Tun Yugu was fanning the flames around Jie Li Khan, instigating him to put pressure on the forces in Hebei. Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Li Yuan put pressure on the four sides, asking them to approach Luoyang and force Emperor Huangtai and Xiao Meiniang to hand over Chai Shao, the lover of the evil queen Zhu Yuyan.

There were also riots in Goryeo. After all, Gaisuwen, the Five Tyrants Sword, was a big chief in the eastern part of the peninsula and had always refused to submit to Goryeo's rule. Gao Jianwu wanted to take the opportunity to capture Gaisuwen's territory, but was afraid that Baekje in the south would advance northward with Silla and bite him hard, so he sent envoys to contact him, hoping to take down Gaisuwen's tribe by peaceful means. Gaisuwen's brother Gaisumeng put forward a condition - if the powerful King of Goryeo could find the murderer and avenge his brother Gaisuwen, he would bring the Sunu tribe to sincerely submit to Goryeo, and from then on the monarch and his subjects would be of one mind to overcome the difficulties together.

This was considered killing with a borrowed knife, or it could be called sowing discord, instigating Goryeo to reach out to the Central Plains forces. Gao Jianwu did not agree immediately, but he did not refuse bluntly either. His attitude seemed very ambiguous, so that the situation on the peninsula seemed to be brewing.

The same is true for the separatist forces in the Central Plains. After all, Fu Gongju is Anlong's junior fellow apprentice, Lin Shihong is the disciple of Yingui Sect elder Bi Shouxuan, and Zhu Can and Anlong are secretly hooking up. These forces have a demonic background, so naturally they have to consider their relationship with the Chai family.

The death of Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Renji at the hands of Chai Shao was also revealed by the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai, further exacerbating the confrontation between the Chai family and the Yuwen family. I think Li Mi will not sit idly by. The Song family in Lingnan, further south, suffered heavy losses. Song Que's younger brother Song Lu and only son Song Shidao were both killed by Jin Huanzhen and Zhou Laotan of the Xieji Sect. Chai Shao was the leader of the Xieji Sect, which made the two sides even more hostile.

In Luoyang, it was a completely different situation. After this incident, not only were the father and son of the Chai family reinstated, but Master Chai's title was further improved, from the original Marquis of Xiping County to the Duke of Anding County, and the Jinqing Guanglu Doctor.

In this regard, no one in the court, whether civil or military, said anything - unlike the last time they were rewarded, it was not because they were frightened by the Empress Dowager's methods, but because they could only accept and feel ashamed of the results of Chai Shao's trip to Chang'an.

After this battle, the Li family lost all their reputation.

Master Chai brought a maid with him and headed west, but brought Li Yuan a nightmarish loss.

Duke Zheng Li Shentong and his son died, Duke Lu Liu Wenjing died, and under the command of Tian Ce Mansion, Yuchi Jingde, Shi Wanbao, Hou Junji, and Pang Yu were killed. Qiao Gongshan of the Changlin Army died, Feng Li died of his injuries, and more than half of the elite Black Armor Cavalry were killed or wounded. The Changlin Army suffered heavy losses.

A man and a woman, a master and a servant, their fighting power is stronger than that of an army. I would like to ask, who else in the Sui court can achieve such results as he did?

In addition to the transfer of the Chai father and son, the former Minister of War Huangfu Wuyi was transferred to the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Dugu Feng no longer served as the General of the Left Guard, and succeeded Huangfu Wuyi as the Minister of War.

As for the people...

Originally, the story of Mr. Chai traveling a thousand miles to save the empress dowager was written into a vernacular novel and became popular for a while. Now his deeds in Chang'an have been put on the stage, making him a household name in Luoyang city as a young talent and an unparalleled general.

Even the children who played the game of tossing pots at the gate of Luoyang city knew that the Chai family had a general who was eight feet tall and had a waist of eight feet, with eyes that flashed lightning, smoke coming out of his mouth and nose, and a voice like a bell. He held an eight-foot-long iron halberd and snake spear in one hand and a flying dragon and crescent-shaped sword in the other, and was dressed in golden armor. He had a murderous aura like a bull, and he killed the villains in Chang'an and made them flee in fear. Li Shimin knelt on the ground and licked the soles of his feet.

This is of course a rumor that cannot be trusted, but it shows how much shock Chu Pingsheng's actions brought to the people of Luoyang City and surrounding areas.

In addition, there is a rumor circulating in the Central Plains region - the Li family obtained 300,000 kilograms of gold from Yang Gong's treasury, and for this they did not hesitate to kill all the disciples of the Haisha Gang, Zhuhua Gang, Qishan Sect and other large and small gangs who heard the news.

The Chang'an Li family not only refused to admit it, but also accused the Demon Sect of fabricating a rumor. The person who took the gold was not the Chang'an Li family, but Chai Shao.

However, no one believed it. You have to know that Hong Qingshan was in Chang'an. Three hundred thousand kilograms of gold was not a handful of soil, a fish, or a cat. How could Chai Shao and his servant transport so much gold under the eyes of the Li family? The Li family's rhetoric did not stand up to scrutiny at all. It was simply an insult to people's IQ.

Because of this incident, several mutinies broke out in the army of Chang'an City - everyone thought that the Li family had made a fortune, but there was no increase in pensions for the dead and wounded Black Armor Elite Cavalry and Changlin Army soldiers. How could the soldiers and their families not feel resentful?

Not only did the Li family suffer heavy casualties, but they also suffered in silence. It is said that Li Yuan was so angry that he fell ill.

In a word, Master Chai's trip to Chang'an stirred up the situation in the world into a mess.

……

The south wind blows into my lapels, the fine smoke sticks to my clothes, the Milky Way is far away, and it is late spring. It should be a good time, with a zither, a person, and the moon in the window.

Shang Xiufang sat under the Wangshu Pavilion, surrounded by the moonlight. With her slender jade fingers, she gently rubbed the strings of the pipa and played the music of the Guizi Kingdom in a trance.

Chu Pingsheng sat at the stone table opposite, sipping tea with his eyes slightly narrowed, not knowing whether he was listening to music or looking at people.

I don't know how much time passed. When the song ended, Shang Cainu put away her pipa and placed it on the table next to her. She picked up the "Shen Qi Mi Pu" on the ground and looked at it carefully. She recalled that the transitions when she played just now were not smooth enough and she felt quite awkward. After a long time, she came to her senses, put down the booklet, looked at the man opposite her and said, "Does it sound good?"

Chu Pingsheng nodded slightly: "Very good."

Shang Xiufang raised the booklet in her hand and said, "I vaguely remember someone mentioned the "Shenqi Mipu" before. It was compiled by Huharqiong, who was known as the God of Music and Dance of Qiuci fifty years ago. It included famous music and dance from all over the Western Regions. There are ten volumes in total. This is the Guizi volume. In addition, there are nine volumes including Gaochang, Cheshi, Huihe, Turkic, Shiwei, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Khitan, Tiele, etc. Later, due to wars, the secret book was scattered all over the place. That person also said that if he had the chance, he must show it to me."

Chu Pingsheng finished drinking the fragrant tea, put the cup down, and said calmly: "That person has no chance."

Shang Xiufang was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he meant that the Guizi volume had been obtained by him and that person had no chance to collect all ten volumes of the secret score, or whether there was some other deeper meaning.

But she didn't ask further. She stood up and knelt beside him. She picked up the green-glazed chicken-headed pot next to her and filled the matching green-glazed teacup with a pair of hanging handles with tea. She said sweetly, "Pour eight-tenths of tea and fill the wine. Do you think this is satisfactory, young master?"

Chu Pingsheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He didn't go to serve tea, but suddenly pulled her into his arms: "You little girl, you dare to DISS me." "DISS? What do you mean?"

"It's sarcastic and means to say something sour." He said as he touched her all over and tickled her.

“Ah… hehe, hehe… I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take it anymore.”

She panted and pushed with her hands, struggling to get up and escape from the clutches of the devil. However, when she was halfway up, Chu Pingsheng pulled her back and she fell into his arms, her cheeks flushed and she looked at him with eyes full of smiles.

Chu Pingsheng clasped his fingers together, pretending to continue, and said with three parts of ferocity and seven parts of intimidation: "Are you going to talk or not?"

She hugged her chest and shrank her neck, like a lamb dominated by a wolf, and pouted her lips and said, "That's not what I said. Everyone knows that you have a beautiful maid by your side. I heard that she is the female disciple of the Korean Yijian master Shi Cailin."

"I can be considered to have experienced the treatment of a star."

"Star, what is that?"

"Well, it's about the same as a famous person."

She nodded, with a hint of joking smile on her lips, and said, "That's right. You are the most famous person in Luoyang now. The fifth young lady of the Sha Mansion who came to my place the day before yesterday was full of praise for you."

"The fifth young lady of the Sha Mansion? Sha Tiannan's daughter Sha Zhijing? Come on, that girl has been saying bad things about me in front of Dugu Feng." Chu Pingsheng said, "I want to hear how she praises me."

"For example, you are very shrewd and never make a loss in business. You love to cheat people so that they lose both their money and their soldiers."

"Are you sure she's praising me?"

"Can you blame others for saying that about you? You did business with Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong lost his military power and his life. Not to mention his goddaughter Rong Jiaojiao, Wang Xuanying's wife Wei Nizi also didn't escape your control."

"..."

"And the owner of the Pegasus Ranch refused to do business with you. The death of the horse was a minor matter, but her virginity was also lost, and she was pregnant with your child, forcing Senior Lu Miaozi to break into the Chai Mansion at night to force a marriage."

"..."

"Now it's Li Shimin's turn. Just because you didn't keep your promise, you went to Chang'an and turned the Li family upside down, causing the loss of soldiers and generals. Both father and son have lost their reputation in front of all the heroes in the world."

Chu Pingsheng held her hand, which looked like a work of art, and said, "There's more."

She stared at him fiercely, looking very fierce.

"You don't seem to have any good feelings towards the Chang'an Li family."

"Does the girl who came into the city with you have a good relationship with her father?"

"No, she wanted to kill him with a knife."

Shang Xiufang rolled her eyes at him: "Then why are you asking me?"

He was not surprised that Shang Cainv was concerned about the affairs of the Dongming Sect. After all, her mother was Yue Shan's goddaughter, and Shan Meixian was also Yue Shan's daughter. From Yue Shan's perspective, Shan Wanjing had to call Shang Xiufang "cousin."

"So, no matter how I deal with the Li family, you won't think it's excessive?"

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"

Bian Bufu raped Shan Meixian, who gave birth to a daughter, Shan Wanjing. Li Yuan deceived his sworn brother's goddaughter into taking his body, but evaded responsibility and refused to be accountable, and the latter gave birth to a daughter, Shang Xiufang.

In terms of badness, Li Yuan is no match for the lewd villains like Bian Bufu and Xi Ying.
