Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 30 996 is a wizard's self-cultivation
In the dead of night, a group of armored soldiers surrounded the Zuokeyuan of the Mayi guard's residence.

The door opened and Liu Lingzhu was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room with his eyes closed, meditating.

"Sir, you have great concentration!"

"If the military commander doesn't want me to leave, how can I leave?"

Li Shuang smiled.

"In that case, sir, do you know what I am going to do?"

"I am not afraid of death, but I do harbor a deep regret. I possess a secret that is unknown to the public. I wonder if the commander-in-chief could dismiss his followers and allow me to entrust this secret to you."

Li Shuang waved his hand.

"You guys go down!"

In the house, all the soldiers retreated, leaving only Yang Kan and Gao Ang.

Seeing that the two tall generals wearing Ming Guang armor beside Li Shuang did not move, Liu Lingzhu stopped waiting.

"Does the military commander know the Golden Sword Prophecy?"

After these words were spoken, both Gao Ang and Yang Kan looked very different and looked at Li Shuang who was standing in the middle.

Seeing this opportunity, Liu Lingzhu grabbed something from his sleeve and threw it out.

The house was filled with powder, blurring the vision.

"Boy, if you've been poisoned by my Western Region Illusion Fragrance, even if you possess extraordinary martial arts skills and unparalleled strength, you'll still be nothing more than a prisoner to me."

When the powder dissipated, Liu Lingzhu saw the three people in front of him, and the smile on his face slowly froze.

Yang Kan and Gao Gao's faces were covered with white powder, but they did not become prisoners as Liu Lingzhu said. Instead, they stared at him angrily.

As for Li Shuang, he was well prepared and slowly put away his umbrella.

"The Western Region Phantom Fragrance is truly amazing, but didn't you notice that the Western Region Phantom Fragrance you were carrying has long been replaced with flour?"

Liu Lingzhu subconsciously took a step back and thought:

When was it replaced?
In such a critical situation, Liu Lingzhu knew that if he didn't take any more action, he would probably die here.

However, Liu Lingzhu was not an ordinary person after all. He had come up with a countermeasure in a flash.

"Master, please spare my life. I am willing to give up everything I have in exchange for my life."

Liu Lingzhu knelt on his knees with his butt facing the sky. Judging from his posture, it seemed that he had practiced it since he was a child.

The room was silent for a long time. Liu Lingzhu lowered his head to the ground and squeezed his eyes shut. If this last trick didn't work, he was afraid he would die.

Time passed minute by minute, and thick sweat oozed out of Liu Lingzhu's thin back.

Finally, Li Shuang's voice finally came out. At that moment, Liu Lingzhu felt his brain go blank and he didn't hear it clearly at all.

"..."

"What did the military commander say?"

"I told you to tell me earlier!"

Li Shuang chuckled and didn't mind saying it again, and helped Liu Lingzhu up.

"Hurry up, prepare the mat, the ground is cold, don't let the gentleman get cold!"

Sweat was pouring down Liu Lingzhu's face, and his legs were still shaking when he was helped up.

"No, no, I like it cooler."

Yang Kan and Gao Ang watched the change in the situation, unable to adapt for a moment. They saw Li Shuang helping Liu Lingzhu onto the couch, then smilingly sitting across from him.

"I wonder how much you are worth, sir?"

Liu Lingzhu thought about it and gritted his teeth.

"Three hundred taels of gold!"

"I've recently heard that there are many charlatans in the north who use their magic to deceive people and extort money. Our army will report this to the court and have these scum punished."

Liu Lingzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his lips trembling.

"I'm old, I can't remember some things. Lord, I remember now, I should have five hundred taels of gold."

"Not only do these charlatans defraud money, they also often seduce female believers, corrupting human ethics. They are truly heinous. If they are caught by this army leader, they will be skinned and stuffed with straw!"

Gao Gao spoke up at the right moment:

"My lord, what does it mean to skin and stuff straw?" "It means to skin these charlatans who specialize in deceiving people, stuff straw inside, make scarecrows, and set them up at the city gates to warn the world!"

With a thud, Liu Lingzhu lost his balance and fell down.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Why are you so careless?"

"It's okay, it's okay! Commander, I remember now. I still have over 2,000 taels of gold hidden in my hometown in Yan County. In addition, there are a large number of jewelry, antiques, and copper coins scattered in the cellars of various fields and houses. I don't know the exact amount anymore."

"I've recently heard that the military commander is deeply concerned about national affairs. I am willing to donate all my wealth to the military commander so that he can accomplish the grand policy of 'using agriculture and providing relief to resolve the dilemma.'"

Li Shuang nodded.

"Sir, you are truly a man of integrity and loyalty to your country. I admire you deeply."

"Military Commander, you are too kind!"

"It's such a pity that a talent like you is so far away from the world!"

Liu Lingzhu's expression changed and he felt a little relieved.

If Li Shuang really wants to accept him, then even if he loses all his wealth, this trip will not be in vain.

At least, his idea of ​​getting closer to Erzhu Rong through Li Shuang could still be realized.

"Have you ever heard of the Tongxin League, sir?"

Liu Lingzhu nodded and said:
"I heard it's an organization founded by the military leader?"

Who knew that as soon as the words were opened, Li Shuang hurriedly denied it.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone in Hengzhou knows about this. Why are you pretending?

Liu Lingzhu cursed in his heart, but he couldn't understand what Li Shuang meant, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"That was my mistake!"

"Sir, you don't know. I only recently learned about this secret organization in the northern border. Its members are all tribal leaders from the northern border. They are secretly plotting rebellion under the guise of 'making the Xianbei great again.' They have become even more audacious recently, secretly stockpiling food and preparing weapons with the intention of attacking Pingcheng."

As he spoke, Li Shuang was filled with righteous indignation.

"I, Daye Shuang, am a loyal minister of the Great Wei, devoting my life to serving my country with all my heart. Upon hearing of this conspiracy, I long to draw my sword and slay these traitors. However, I am only a mere governor of Mayi, with limited abilities. How can I possibly stand against these dark forces?"

Liu Lingzhu's eyelids jumped and he looked at Li Shuang.

"What does the military commander mean?"

"Sir, you are incredibly talented and wise. I wonder if you can infiltrate this united alliance on behalf of the imperial court and wipe out these traitors who are causing chaos in the country."

Liu Lingzhu's face turned pale.

This isn't asking me to serve you, this is asking for my life!

What if these stupid Hu leaders caused trouble and the imperial court investigated? What would happen then?

"I'm just a small wizard. I can't lift anything. I can't even kill a chicken. What can I do even if I sneak into this Concentric Alliance?"

Li Shuang thought for a moment and said:

"Yes, it's really inappropriate to ask you to fight and kill."

"Military Lord, please understand!"

"In that case, you can just become the leader!"

"..."

In this dark night, Liu Lingzhu huddled in the corner, looking at Li Shuang holding the letter of alliance in his hand, as if he had seen a ghost, and as helpless as a child.

Li Shuang had a warm smile on his face and was patiently persuading others.

"Sign this alliance letter and you will be the leader of the Tongxin Alliance!"

"Master, I can't do it."

"you can!"

"I really can't!"

"You really can do it!"
