Chapter 885 Carrying the Cauldron to Defend the Way

As soon as Li Licheng finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say.

Even the young and arrogant Lu Sidao opened his mouth in surprise and saw that the surrounding environment was indeed in a manor in Yenan and not a foreign country. Then he looked back at Li Licheng. These words are what you can say casually. Say, can I listen to whatever I want?

The owner Wang Xi did not expect that Li Licheng had been hiding his secrets before. This confession immediately made him so frightened that he wanted to cover his ears and run away. After a while, he quickly waved his hand to Li Licheng and said: "Mr. Lang, please don't say such treacherous words again." ! Our country has its own laws, how can it be allowed to be like this... Please don't say anything again, please don't say anything again!"

Li Licheng was very calm and calm at this moment. He looked at Wang Xi and continued to smile and said: "My king also praised the prince. In the past, the great commander of our country entered Luo and failed to conquer the prince. It is a pity. Later." He Liuhun recruited teachers and friends for the disciples, and the princes were also among them. Is it a blessing to receive rewards one after another?

The king also said, the talents of a prince are more than just a minister of the shogunate? When the time comes and prosperity comes, the likes of King Qin can take his place. If your Majesty intends to go west, Your Majesty will sweep your couch to welcome you..."

"Mr. Lang, be careful what you say!"

Li Licheng's unbridled words had already irritated Wang Xi, and these heart-wrenching words frightened him so much that he almost jumped up and covered the guy's mouth. He was so frightened that he broke into a white-haired cold sweat. This guy really dares to say anything!

It is said that his talents are not only the minister of the shogunate, but also Yang Min can replace him. The problem is, if he replaces Yang Min, then his boss will have to replace Yang Min's boss!

Everyone else was also panic-stricken at this moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Li Lang, please don't say anything again. The situation in the Eastern Dynasty is dangerous, and there are many people who have committed crimes because of their words! If these words are leaked to the outside, we may all die." Save it!”

"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry! I really don't know the danger of the situation here, but I just hope that I can convey to you the enthusiasm of the king for seeking talents! There are many talented people in Hebei, and the king is not the only one who is important to the king. And... Alas, the tyranny is so extreme that the people’s mouths are guarded and the people’s mouths are not dared to speak, and the roads are in sight!”

Li Licheng realized this later and patted his knees with an annoyed look on his face. He then looked at Wang Songnian and said, "You and I are all close friends and relatives here, so I, I am eager to show my sincerity, so I don't dare to hide anything anymore." . What should I do?"

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Wang Songnian with resentment. What kind of treasure have you brought for us? These treacherous and unethical remarks make me feel frightened even in my dreams, especially now that His Majesty the Emperor's tyranny is gradually revealed, which is frightening. If anything here is leaked, I am afraid that they and everyone in the assembly will not be able to survive alone!

"Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient! Fortunately, there are no strangers here, but we have to be on guard no matter what!"

Wang Xi was now sweating heavily on his forehead. This house was his family's property, and he was the one who organized today's round. If he really wanted to leak the news, he would undoubtedly be guilty of an even greater crime.

In particular, although Li Licheng spoke freely, he also pointed out the fact that he had a close relationship with King Changshan, and it could be said that they were both prosperous and prosperous.

Previously, he was angered by the emperor because King Changshan repeatedly admonished the emperor. He was punished and sent to Jiafang. It took several years before he was pardoned. Now if he causes trouble again due to careless interactions, I am afraid he will inevitably implicate King Changshan. Once King Changshan is implicated, his and his family's lives may be in danger.

Wang Xi comforted everyone while staring at Li Licheng. Li Licheng's unabashed behavior just now made him look like a careless person, but would Li Boshan send a fool to carry out such a task?

If the other party is not stupid, then they are making this statement deliberately in order to make them hide the truth under false pretenses. Of course, there is no way to solve this problem. No matter what his identity and background, Li Licheng is just an outsider after all. If he disappears without anyone noticing in this manor, certain future troubles can be avoided. Of course, doing so may also lead to greater consequences.

"No matter what your intentions are, these words of Mr. Lang are tainting the integrity of a certain class of people! This is by no means the etiquette that should be followed when visiting an old friend. Whether our country is governed or not, and how the personnel are, I don’t care whether Mr. Zang can do it in person. ! Today’s evil words are buried here. If you hear them again in the future, you will draw your sword and attack them without mercy!”

After weighing the situation, Wang Xi suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Li Licheng and warned sternly.

During the time when Li Licheng entered the park, he had generally seen that this small group was centered on Wang Xi. An important reason why he became the center of communication was that he held the position of Changshan Wangyou. As a close aide to Changshan Wang Gaoyan, he had a certain appeal to these frustrated scholars.

Among the Gao family members, Gao Cheng had his confidant Chen Yuankang, who assisted Gao Cheng in assisting the government in Yedu and preparing to usurp the Eastern Wei State. After these two people were both assassinated and killed, they were replaced by the pair of Gao Yang and Yang Min.

Li Licheng didn't know whether Wang Xi had the idea of ​​​​replacing the former pair with Gao Yan, but it did not prevent him from making such malicious speculations or even slanders. Either you kill me outright, or you help me and don't let me be arrested in Yecheng, otherwise I will falsely accuse you!

The reason why he took the risk to make this attempt was that Li Licheng felt that the resources and power he could use were really limited, and he had to rely on the help of the local people in Hebei to complete the mission as soon as possible.

After hearing Wang Xi's rebuke and threat, Li Licheng smiled slightly. He walked to a desk and took out a pen and paper, but there was no inkstone or ink.

Just before he asked for it, he took out the short knife he was wearing, rolled up his sleeves and stabbed his arm to bleed. He dipped his pen into the blood flowing out of his arm, and quickly wrote hundreds of words in blood, and then again He bowed to Wang Xi and said: "Today someone made a mistake and disturbed you all. I pierced my arm and swore not to reveal anything to the outside world, so as not to cause trouble for you. If you violate this oath, if there is an eldest son in your household, all of you will be killed." You can kill me!"

As he spoke, he held the blood book to Wang Xi with both hands. Wang Xi frowned tightly. After a while, he raised his hand to take the blood book. He looked at everyone and said, "I have a heart-to-heart relationship with you, and I have no doubts about it. However, if things change today, more than one person will be harmed, and the family will be destroyed." In an instant, there is no way to know. I also pierced my arm as an oath. If the words are leaked to me, the sky will be thick and the earth will be abandoned!"

At this point, he also asked for a short knife from Li Licheng, dipped his arm in blood, and left his name on the paper.

Seeing this scene, everyone else had mixed feelings in their hearts. Although they were somewhat resistant, they had to admit that only by making this oath would they believe that they would not be betrayed.

After everyone present had finished their oaths, Wang Xi collected the blood letter signed by everyone, and then looked at Li Licheng and said: "Li Lang behaves with chivalry. I now believe that you are of the blood of Duke Dongping. It's just that you are of the blood of Duke Dongping." Shannan and Hebei are far apart, so King Li will send you here. Apart from being in danger, there will probably be no practical benefits!"

"I beg your pardon to disagree with your words. The rise of the Gao family has only lasted twenty years, and its position has been transferred to three people. Who can say with certainty that it can enjoy the country for a long time? Today's prosperity seems to lie in the materials of Hebei The wealth of Guandong is due to the prosperity of talents, but how much can the Lord of Qi use the wealth of Hebei and the talents of Guandong? The people in power are just a few veterans from Jinyang and a few sycophants, and there are no heroes at the moment, just trying to maintain their power. "

With the oath between them, Li Licheng spoke more casually and calmly: "Why should you deceive yourselves? You all have both talents and ambitions. How much can you do in this country? It's nothing more than to submit to the power of the Lord Qi and cooperate with him. Yu Laobing is a slave!

My king's rise was short-lived, but he is particularly good at subduing the soldiers. Since the mutiny in the six towns, who has done this? The Lord of Qi wants to punish the veterans and still needs to be respected as a monarch and minister. My king holds a stick and drives them away like a naughty boy! You are all good people and good talents, how can you bear to throw your innocent body into the nest of filth? "

"Yes, good birds choose trees to roost! The Gao family has only raised scholars for a lifetime, and has not had great virtues to harmonize with the people. How can they dare to claim that the king's affairs will prosper? It is true that Gao Wang's victory over Erzhu has contributed to the country, but with It doesn't mean that there is governance when the soldiers are above all the people! Since the upheaval in Heyin, all the families have fallen into disgrace. Now that King Li of Shannan Road is carrying the cauldron to defend the road, how can there be any right or wrong if people don't run for it!"

Lu Sidao, who had admired Li Tai before, couldn't help but clapped his hands and said after hearing Li Licheng's words: "Xiang Zhexi Dynasty suffers from the small land and weak people, and it is not enough to be an enemy. But now King Li has decided to settle in Jiangling and sit on it." Huaihan, the vast world will definitely make a difference!”

When everyone present heard the two men singing in harmony, they couldn't help but express their emotions. People like them gathered here to keep themselves warm. Although Northern Qi was prosperous and powerful, it did not give them many opportunities. Li Boshan's power spanned Huaihan and Han Dynasty, and it was said to be very powerful. It was indeed a good opportunity for them. s Choice.

As a close supporter of the Gao family, Wang Xi naturally would not be easily incited. After hearing this, he frowned and said: "King Li's actions are indeed majestic and admirable, but his reputation is still controlled by others, and I am afraid it will not be easy to get rid of him. Now Liang Guo has invited As a vassal of our country, Hefei and other towns will also be recovered soon. Even if Langjun recruits some people who have no future, I am afraid it will not be able to relieve Shannan's urgent needs. "

After hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement. They could be easily instigated and persuaded, so naturally they couldn't say they had a firm stand.

"A thousand words from a wise man are not as good as one thing that comes true. The king is deeply involved in this situation, and it is difficult for me to persuade him to turn back. But the friendship forged today will never be in vain. I still need to stay in Yecheng for a while. I hope your Majesty can give me a little help. Maybe with a little effort today, I can invite thousands of people to come."

Li Licheng did not expect to be able to convince people like Wang Xi. If both parties could reach a certain consensus, Wang Xi's role in Yecheng would be even greater than following him to Xiangyang.

Hearing Li Licheng's somewhat arrogant words, Wang Xi couldn't help but smile. He had his own judgment on the general trend of the world in his heart, but he didn't want to fight for a verbal victory with such a arrogant person. He just said: "No matter what, Li Lang is willing to risk his own life to save the innocent relatives and friends of the Cui and Li families, which is also very loyal and touching. "
