The Bad Guys: Don't call me Little Emperor Taizong

Li Xingyun will definitely be there when the Mobei disaster comes.

By then, Li Changping won't know he's gone, and the artillery shells won't recognize him as the emperor.

"Ha ha……"

When Shi Yao's footsteps gradually faded away, Yuan Tiangang chuckled and said, "Since Li Chunfeng's death, you are the only one in the world who is worthy of having a child with me."

After laughing, he shook his head with a little regret: "It's a pity. If you were born a few years earlier, I wouldn't mind playing a game of chess with you."

"And now... I am not here to defeat you, I am here to defeat the heavens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Buliang Shuai looked up at the sky, his eyes already filled with determination.

Feng Xiang.

As the war a few days ago quietly faded away, this place has become prosperous again.

And it was located in the most prosperous tavern at the city gate.

But there was a group of dejected people sitting around.

"Ah~"

Li Xingyun sighed and spread his hands: "When Liang attacked Qi, I wanted to help. I didn't expect to be a step too late. Zhu Youzhen was dealt with first."

Just as he finished speaking, a huge hand as big as a palm-leaf fan fell on his shoulder, pressing him so hard that it hurt.

When I looked up, I saw Qingguo picking her nose.

"Isn't this a bad thing? Once the troubles in Qi State are solved, we can help Zhang Lang deal with his adoptive father..."

As he spoke, he rubbed the fingers that he had used to pick his nose on Li Xingyun's clothes.

Then he casually hugged Zhang Zifan on the other side.

"What I'm saying is that Li Cunxiao is dead, Li Siyuan was punished, why did he take his anger out on Zhang Lang? What was it for?"

"It's the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Technique, sister!"

Qingcheng tried to smooth things over at the right time, and the two sisters sang the same tune and sat next to Zhang Zifan.

"Yes, for a broken martial arts book, he killed our old man. Don't worry, Zhang Lang, when we meet again next time, we two sisters will help you beat him to death."

As they were talking, a group of soldiers passed by the restaurant.

Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan didn't react much.

But the most beautiful voice suddenly stopped, and almost everyone turned around at the same time, avoiding the sight of the group of people.

After a long time, they turned their heads and looked at each other, both of them were puzzled.

At the same time, there were a few people sitting at the next table. When they saw someone passing by the door, they started talking.

A burly man slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Humph! If you ask me, these Khitans are too rampant. Not only did they rob my country before, but now they dare to come to Fengxiang so arrogantly. They really don't take us seriously."

"Isn't it because you are bullying the Central Plains to be torn apart?"

The person in the conversation was a well-mannered Confucian scholar, who also said with dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Qi State has Jin in the north, Shu in the south, Mobei in the west, and Zhuliang in the east. It is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Once there is a mess with one side, the other three hungry wolves will take advantage of the fire to rob. For example, if Your Highness had not arrived in time some time ago, I am afraid that Fengxiang would have been devastated and followed in the footsteps of Luzhou."

"Oh? Speaking of Luzhou, I just came here from Jinyang. How tragic it was! Babies were crying, fires were everywhere, and almost everyone was dead... Zhu Youzhen was really evil!"

Chapter 60 A Baoji

"Your Highness?"

Hearing this, everyone at the table immediately turned their eyes to Li Xingyun.

Everyone looked confused, thinking that he had done something big behind their backs.

"Shh~"

Li Xingyun quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

Then he pointed to the neighboring table, signaling everyone to continue listening.

The burly man spoke again: "Humph! Zhu Youzhen was a ruthless and incompetent ruler. It was a relief for him to die at the hands of Your Highness. In my opinion, Liang was the first, and Khitan is the second. They won't be able to stay alive for long!"

"That's right! There were rumors before. It was said that His Highness was a murderer who was too cruel and ruthless, and that he was an executioner. But now it seems that it is pure slander. Will an executioner save our Qi country from danger? Can an executioner make our Daqi soldiers fall in love with him?"

Perhaps his interest was aroused by a sentence.

Several tables nearby put down their bowls and chopsticks, and the whole restaurant became excited.

"Who were those people who died at your hands? They were all bloody killers. They deserved to die. If you don't kill them, will you follow Li Xingyun and wait for your death?"

Hearing this, Li Xingyun's face turned blue and red.

He looked around, and when he saw there was no crack in the ground that could accommodate him, he looked away.

However, he buried his whole face in the bowl, fearing that he would be recognized.

In the battle of Luzhou, he sacrificed himself to save Zhang Zifan.

I thought Zhu Youzhen would be satisfied with getting the Longquan treasure, but I didn't expect that he would fire another shot at Luzhou before leaving, causing a river of blood.

Now thinking about it, I was really stupid. I didn't ask anything and just went there like a headless fly.

If it were Li Changping...

I guess the dried corpse placed on top of Luzhou City should be that of Zhu Youzhen’s mother, right?

He is very good at finding other people's weaknesses.

ah~

With a long sigh, Li Xingyun continued to cook, but his ears pricked up in a daze.

At this time, several more people stood up.

They all looked exhausted, and it seemed that they had come a long way and were temporarily resting here.

"We do know that there was a war in Qi State. From what you said just now, it seems that a prince solved the matter. Liang State is powerful, Wang Yanzhang is brave, and he has a magical weapon like artillery. I wonder how he did it?"

"You've asked the right person!"

The big man who spoke first puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I was in the city when the Liang army attacked the city that day, and I know everything about it. Zhu Youzhen's second brother was beheaded on the city wall, and Your Highness used his head to force the Liang army to retreat. That night, you rode on the allied camp and retrieved Zhu Youzhen's head."

Then his eyes were filled with longing.

"That night, His Highness led the way and left his back to our Qi army soldiers, and our Qi army soldiers did not let him down. The momentum reached the sky, and even the city could hear the roar."

"The Qi army is his support, and the Qi people are the support of the Qi army!"

"It's a pity that I couldn't follow His Highness and see the blood-stained robe."

As he spoke, his face was filled with regret. He even pounded the table hard to show his unwillingness.

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice sounded beside him:

"What's the matter? His Highness once said that he wanted to enjoy peace with us. Now is a great opportunity to join the army and serve the country. This vast and chaotic world is waiting for us to flatten it. The glorious Tang Dynasty still needs us to restore it. How can we linger on the past?"

"That's right! How can your Highness bear the burden of all the people in this world alone? Even if you can only get a few bricks and tiles, it will be worth your life!"

"Your Highness saved my people from danger and saved Fengxiang from the same fate as Luzhou. With him here, my wife and children can live in peace. I owe him my life."

"Everyone, the road ahead is long. Although I can take revenge, I can't go on. If there is a day in the future when I die on the battlefield, please prepare a mat and bury me on the spot."

"Humph! You dare to step onto the battlefield, but why can't I? This sword has been with me for sixteen years. It has killed many innocent souls. But from now on, it will only fight for Your Highness!"

"Stop arguing! Let's go together, let's go together!"

……

Right in front of Li Xingyun, everyone in the restaurant started arguing and scattered in an instant.

Only a few old men and Confucian scholars were left.

Seeing this, he raised his head from his bowl with a somewhat lonely look.

Although that group of people had loud voices, I didn't feel they were noisy at all.

Instead, his face turned red and he felt ashamed of himself.

In troubled times, even an ordinary citizen knows to sacrifice everything for that illusory hope.

But what about yourself?

Idle clouds and wild cranes, hugged left and right...

These ideals are not worth mentioning at all in front of those gangsters who are walking away with swords in hand.

They may not be as good as me in every aspect, but the moment they step out of the door, they are enough to make this restaurant shine.

Thinking of this, Li Xingyun lowered his head in disappointment.

On the other side, Zhang Zifan was full of sorrow. He just drank alone and didn't listen to what the people in the restaurant said.

Neither of them spoke, but Qingguo Qingcheng, who was standing beside them, did not have this worry.

They don't care about the life or death of Qi State, they only care about why people from the Yelu family appear here.

Looking at the old man who was eating from his bowl next to her, Qingguo slapped him on the table.

"Hey! Old man, let me ask you, what happened in Mobei recently? Why are there Khitans everywhere in Fengxiang?"

Frightened by the violent vibration, the old man slowly raised his head, but kept moving his butt backwards, as if he was afraid that she would swallow him in one bite.

At this time, the Confucian scholar who had just had dinner with the big man spoke again: "Humph! This warrior is too rude. What's the difference between him and the uncivilized Khitan?"

"Who do you call uncivilized? And who do you call a warrior?"

Hearing this, Qingguo rolled up her sleeves, revealing arms as thick as water tanks.

“It turns out they are Khitans!”

The scholar glanced at Qingguo, but he showed no fear at all, and continued: "There are two pieces of news recently. One is that Yelu Abaoji appeared in Fengxiang and was taken away by Shuliduo. The other is that Yelu Lage has kidnapped Abaoji and intends to return to Mobei to seize the throne."

"what?"

Qingguo turned around instantly, only to meet the girl's frightened eyes.

"Where is Abaoji?"

"I don't know about that, but it is said that it went west."

"Sister, let's go! Go save our brother."

Qingguo grabbed Qingcheng and left without saying a word.

Li Xingyun on the side also reacted and quickly pulled Zhang Zifan up and chased after him.

In the battle of Bianzhou, Qingguo Qingcheng saved him, and now she followed him to save Qi.

Even though I failed to save the person, I still feel bad for not helping others in need.

He simply put other things behind him and followed Qingguo Qingcheng out of the west gate of Fengxiang.

----

Prince Qi's Palace.

Li Maozhen's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of anger on his face, as he stared at Li Changping who was leisurely sipping tea in front of him.

She said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, after you use the things, do you really not intend to return them?"

"thing?"

Li Changping was stunned, and then he was puzzled: "In the battle with the Liang army, King Qi gained a lot, with countless war horses and logistical supplies, but I don't understand what else he wants?"

"I don't want the weapons or the horses, but we can split the food and supplies in half. You must return my brother's armor and weapons, as well as my golden crown."

Li Maozhen couldn't understand why Li Changping, who had previously been extremely disgusted with these things, refused to return them after wearing them once.

That was a souvenir that Brother Wang left for me. I just wanted to lend it to him.

"Also? Wasn't it agreed to be a gift?"

Li Changping didn't understand even more.

Women's train of thought is really strange.

A torn armor and a rusty weapon, what's the point of asking for it?
