Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 548
"Young master, young master, I am Xia Wuliang!"

In front of a ruined temple, Xia Wuliang, who had already broken his legs, shouted bitterly outside the ruined temple. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were many years of wars, the change of dynasties, the bloody storm inside the royal family, and the struggle for power.As a result, the gentry class and ordinary people complained endlessly.

In this turbulent age, they are like a flat boat, urgently needing to escape the cruelty of reality.

At this time, Buddhist thinking was like "the rain comes after a long drought", and most of the upper-class gentry said that their thoughts were based on the Buddhist thought of being born out of this world, so as to avoid political disputes.There are also many people wantonly building Buddhist temples, escaping into Buddhism, devoting themselves to practicing Buddhism, and not caring about worldly affairs.

Du Mu wrote a poem about 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers came to the Tang Dynasty in the mist and rain.

And these abandoned temples have also become places where people in the rivers and lakes like to sleep out and hide.

"shoot!"

After Xia Wuliang yelled a few times, no one in the temple responded, and He Qingfeng on the side directly issued an order to the soldiers behind him.

A total of twenty rhubarb crossbows began an indiscriminate attack on the dilapidated temple in front.

"Puff puff.!"

Like locusts, the arrows rushed towards the dilapidated temple in front of them. The power of the arrows shot by the rhubarb crossbow directly pierced through thousands of holes in the opposite temple. And this time, in order to show the greatest strength, He Qingfeng directly shot at the dilapidated temple. Li You asked for the dispatch of [-] rhubarb crossbow arrows.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

The doors, windows, earthen walls, and everything in the tiled temple were swallowed one by one by the black arrows like migratory locusts. When about [-] arrows were shot, Huo Zunde's voice finally sounded in the temple.

"Stop, I'm Huo Zun, what exactly do you want to do?"

Finally Huo Zun was hit by the rhubarb crossbow, and he responded loudly from the temple.

Hearing Huo Zun's voice, a smile appeared on the corner of He Qingfeng's mouth. With a slight wave of He Qingfeng's hand, all twenty rhubarb crossbows stopped. At this time, He Qingfeng walked directly to the front of the temple with a sword in his hand. He Qingfeng asked the young master of the Manichaeism, Huo Zun, to meet him at the sticky pole under King Qi's control."

"Hum!" A cold snort, followed by a 'click', and as a wooden door shattered, Huo Zun rushed out from the ruins on the side. After seeing He Qingfeng, Huo Zun looked angry: "Lan Lian He Qingfeng!"

He Qingfeng smiled and shook his head: "Lan Lian has become a thing of the past. Now only King Qi controls the sticky pole. Our sticky pole's duty is to monitor the Jianghu. You Manichaeism are within the scope of our sticky pole. .”

"Haha!" Huo Zun sneered with contempt: "You are also worthy of monitoring the world?"

Regarding Huo Zun's contempt, He Qingfeng looked at Huo Zun indifferently: "It was true that I was not worthy before, but it is different now, our master is His Royal Highness King Qi, so we are worthy now.

This time King Qi is very dissatisfied with your kidnapping of Princess Jinyang, because you have exceeded the rules. Although someone deliberately instigated the violation this time, you are also wrong, so His Highness ordered that each person must leave one Hands, so that you can leave, if not. I will follow and kill you at the sticky pole for thousands of miles, and I will never die with you. "

"I swear to kill you, I will never die!" Hundreds of people behind He Qingfeng shouted together, the momentum was so grand that Huo Zun and others were terrified.

"You, Lan Lian, were originally under the control of my Manichaeism. We just came to investigate with all the members of the fraudulent death. After discovering that you were fraudulent in death, you wanted a small punishment and a big punishment. Now that you have surrendered to His Highness King Qi, we will wait It won't stay here either.

We will not go back and tell the insiders about your fraudulent death. I hope you will release Xia Wuliang and give us a way out. "

There is no contempt in Huo Zun's eyes at this time, he now knows what his situation is at this time, the other party is not here to play with him, the other party is to frighten him, as long as he resists a little, The opponent will definitely attack him.

So Huo Zun wanted to bow his head at this time and bring this matter over.

"You can go back and tell Mani what Lanlian taught us. You don't need to hide it for us. It is necessary for each of you to leave a hand. This is punishment, and it is requested by His Highness. This is the greatest kindness of His Highness. I will not allow you bargain.

If you don't want to keep your hands, it's okay, then keep your lives. "

"Why did He Qingfeng put people to death? If we lose this hand, what's the difference between us and being dead?" Mo Sheng shouted angrily.

"Then you can die."

Without any hesitation, He Qingfeng pointed with one hand. A soldier of the Huben Army opened his divine arm and shot an arrow. It was fast, ruthless, and accurate, and shot directly at Mo Sheng's neck. Mo Sheng didn't even cry out. When he came out, he covered his neck with both hands, and died miserably.

"Ah!" Huo Xiuxiu and Tian Wuzhi screamed excitedly.

"Young master. We fought with them!" Around Huo Zun, there were about 40 people, all of whom were direct descendants of Huo Zun. Seeing their young master being bullied like this, these people were also filled with righteous indignation.

If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely think of going all out, but Huo Zun is very tolerant, he knows that this time the sticking point is to use himself to gain power, and He Qingfeng will not let him go.

If one of his people resists, all his people will die, and there will be no one left. The powerful crossbow just now has really shot all Huo Zun's mind into chaos.
Huo Zun stopped the direct descendant behind him and shouted: "He Qingfeng, this time I, Huo Zun, confessed to being killed, and I will leave it to you, but this time the mastermind is me. We have already lost a life and a pair of legs. , plus my left hand.

I hope you can give me face. I, Huo Zun, swear that I will never come to Chang'an again. My sister and Tian Wuzhi are both girls. If they lose their hands, how will you let them live in the future?
So give them a size. "

After finishing speaking, Huo Zun didn't wait for He Qingfeng's expression, and directly put the horizontal knife under his armpit, followed by a force, and with a magnetic pull, Huo Zun's left arm was forcibly smashed off by himself.

"elder brother!"

"Little Lord.!"

Huo Zun squatted down in pain, Huo Xiuxiu and others immediately surrounded him, He Qingfeng nodded slightly seeing this scene, today's shock is enough, He Qingfeng is very clear that Li You doesn't want to make this matter a big deal, In the final analysis, the sticky pole is just an institution appointed by the prince without permission, and it is not appropriate to make things too big.

"It's a man!" He Qingfeng looked at Huo Zun and threw a bottle of Jinchuang medicine over: "This matter is cancelled. If you want revenge, just come to me. However, if the world dares to involve the royal family and court officials, then It is the time of your reckless death.

You are allowed to recuperate outside Chang'an, because soon, you will see that your master is going to be unlucky. My Highness said that Chai Lingwu must be punished. Stop and see what kind of person you have offended. "

After finishing speaking, He Qingfeng made a gesture, and everyone withdrew from the temple in an orderly manner. Looking at the originally noisy temple, they all evacuated after a while.

Huo Xiuxiu hugged Huo Zun and cried loudly. Although Huo Zun wanted to comfort his sister at this time, he finally couldn't stand the loss of an arm, and soon saw Huo Zun fainted.

He Qingfeng is very powerful. He used this time to kill chickens and monkeys, and immediately established the name of the sticky pole. Although the sticky pole is not an institution of the imperial court, the sticky pole monitors the Jianghu, but it has obtained the acquiescence of the Jianghu.

In the future, whenever something happens in the rivers and lakes of the Tang Dynasty, the sticky pole will appear immediately, and sometimes the government of the Tang Dynasty will cooperate with the sticky pole, which also shows that the sticky pole is recognized by the Tang government. .

Some people will definitely ask whether Li Shimin will find out behind the sticky pole. To be honest, there is no way to avoid it. Not only did Li Shimin know about the sticky pole, but Li Mingda's kidnapping was also known to Li Shimin.

He directly arrested Li You and scolded him. However, it was precisely because Li Shimin was nervous about Li Mingda that he also affirmed Li You's establishment of an organization to monitor the Jianghu. Li Shimin did not want to distract his attention in the Jianghu.

But the rivers and lakes in the Tang Dynasty did exist. The popularity of knights in the Tang Dynasty laid the foundation for the emergence of the Jianghu society. The homeless society formed many basic concepts. influences.

Moreover, this rivers and lakes society advocates force, and the homeless group is strongly anti-social, full of aggressive spirit, accepts some dark sides of traditional culture, and has a strong sense of gangs.

Pushing a vagrant to the top of the rivers and lakes often relies on violence.Without the warm cloak of "morality", the society of the rivers and lakes nakedly exposed the essence of bullying.

Knights of the Tang Dynasty also had the characteristics of bloodthirsty, and even regarded this behavior as an alternative "fashion": "Avoid fierce tigers in the morning and long snakes in the evening. Grind your teeth and suck blood, and kill people like hemp." (Li Bai's "The Difficult Road to Shu") The verses reflect the cruel and contemptuous life mentality of the knights. They regard bloodthirsty as an act worthy of imitation, but Jianghu regards this act as a chivalrous act "unprecedented in ancient and modern times".

Bloodthirsty is only the first aspect of the brutality of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, what's more, they love to eat living things and human flesh.

To some extent, bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty are all out of the survival needs of the vagrants, not their nature. In order to gain a foothold in the arena, the vagrants sometimes have to resort to cruel methods against their enemies.

Li Shimin also came out of the grass. Li Shimin knew Wagang Village very well, so Li Shimin was satisfied with Li You making a sticky pole to monitor the rivers and lakes, and he didn't need to waste manpower. Material resources, so that Li Shimin can invest his manpower and material resources where he needs to invest.

So in the end Li Shimin gave a tacit consent to the sticky pole, and even after knowing that He Qingfeng was the leader of the sticky pole, Li Shimin gave He Qingfeng a silverfish bag in recognition of He Qingfeng's handling of Huo Zun.

This action directly gave the sticky pole a little bit of court meaning.
