The Bad Guys: I Paint Jianghu in Troubled Times

Chapter 86: Asking for Help Asking for Help

Chapter 187 Liang Jin went to war, Li Xingyun was just a brat!In this chaotic era, those who control the military can ignore all conspiracies and tricks. This is why Zhou Dewei does not take Li Siyuan, the saint of Tongwenguan, seriously. Although you, Li Siyuan, are the regent in place of Prince Jin, you do not have any military power. Power is power, and power and force are not separate. Li Siyuan stood on a high place, looking down at Zhou Dewei. His eyes collided violently in the air with Zhou Dewei, who was slightly raising his head with a smile on his face. Li Siyuan was defeated. Just like crouching like a dog in front of Li Keyong, Li Siyuan, who was extremely proud in his heart, lowered his head. Zhou Dewei laughed out loud, waved his hand and said, "Take three thousand cavalrymen and follow the Holy Lord out of the city to chase the enemy!" Li Siyuan's chest heaved violently, and scenes from his recent experiences kept flashing through his mind. He was forced by Li Keyong to hand over his military power, and was teased by Zhang Zifan who called him his adoptive father. Now even Zhou Dewei looked down on him. It was me who was too obsessed with the Five Thunders Heart Technique. Li Siyuan let out a long breath. He had endured for decades and his Qi-cultivation skills had already reached perfection. Now, it didn't matter if he endured some humiliation! "Thank you, General Zhou."

Li Siyuan smiled faintly and bowed to Zhou Dewei. In an instant, Zhou Dewei's eyes changed when he looked at Li Siyuan. Someone who could bend and stretch so easily must have great ambitions in his heart. "I underestimated the Holy Lord." Zhou Dewei held the spear in his hand and bowed to Li Siyuan. Between the two of them, teams of black-armored cavalrymen passed by, with long spears on white horses, scimitars in red robes. The black cavalry under Zhou Dewei was one of the most elite troops in the world. In the entire Liang State, only Yang Shihou's Wei Bo Silver Spear Army and Wang Yanzhang's Iron Spear Army could be compared with it. Even a top master in the late Great Heaven Realm could only use guerrilla warfare instead of fighting head-on when facing the charge of the armored cavalry. Among the three thousand armored cavalry, the only person in the world who could kill them head-on and survive was Yuan Tiangang. Li Siyuan pressed his palm on the parapet of the tower wall, and the whole person floated down. The moment he landed, he pulled the reins with his palm and jumped onto the horse swiftly. He was also a brave general on the battlefield when he was young, so his horsemanship was naturally superb. The madness in Li Siyuan's eyes had faded as he mounted his horse. It was not important whether to kill Li Xingyun or not at this moment. What was important was that he, the holy leader of Tongwenguan and the regent of Jin State, had to put on an act for his subordinates. He had tried his best. It was Li Xingyun who was too cunning, not that he was too useless. Li Siyuan shouted at Li Sizhao and Li Cunxiao and Li Cunzhong who had just arrived: "Follow me to hunt down Li Xingyun!" "Yes, Holy Lord!" Although Li Sizhao looked a little embarrassed at this time, he was not seriously injured. Although the several great masters under Li Xingyun were very destructive, they were restricted by many Jin soldiers after all. It was difficult for them to behead the core figures of Jin. Only Li Xingyun beheaded the leader of Tongwenguan before leaving. Zhou Dewei watched Li Siyuan and his men leave the city. Baguo rode up to Zhou Dewei and said, "General, why did you lend troops to Li Siyuan? These three thousand black cavalrymen are no joke. Li Xingyun and his men are all very powerful. If something goes wrong, we will suffer a great loss." Zhou Dewei looked at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance and said calmly, "Li Siyuan will not let anything happen to the Black Cavalry, nor does he dare to let anything happen to the Black Cavalry. However, as the Holy Master of the Tongwen Hall, he must go after Li Xingyun. As a general of the Jin State, I must also lend him troops. Do you understand?" Bago's eyes suddenly narrowed. She almost forgot that there was a King of Jin above their heads! Zhou Dewei said calmly, "Today, Tongwenguan was attacked and Taiyuan City was in chaos. If the King of Jin, who is in retreat, comes out and sees this scene, he will surely be furious. So how can we calm the King of Jin's anger? Of course, we have to pretend that we have done our best." At this time, Bal also came to Zhou Dewei and asked, "Why did the general lend troops to Li Siyuan? It was Li Siyuan's Tongwenguan that was attacked. What does it have to do with us?" Zhou Dewei glanced at Bal and said in a deep voice: "Don't say that again." "By lending troops to Li Siyuan, we are telling the King of Jin that no one under his command is a party-building person, and no one will put the interests of party struggles above the interests of Jin." The discord between Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan was only in private; at least on the surface, they still appeared to be friendly and respectful brothers. Although the King of Jin doted on Li Cunxu, he would never allow his son to offend his authority. As the saying goes, there are some things I can give you, but you can't ask me for them. Zhou Dewei's words immediately made Bal's heart tremble. They belonged to the military and were all subordinates of Li Cunxu. Now that Taiyuan City was attacked by bandits, if they just stood by and watched, how would the King of Jin look at them? Bal suddenly came to his senses and bowed to Zhou Dewei, saying, "Thank you, General, for your advice." Zhou Dewei, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. What I'm thinking about now is why Li Xingyun did this."

Zhou Dewei pondered and said, "Three of the four corpse ancestors of Xuanming Sect have arrived. The strength of these three corpse ancestors is all in the late stage of the Great Heaven Realm. Although I am not afraid of one of them alone, but with the combined strength of three people, it will not be easy even for King Jin to kill them." "Besides, Li Xingyun is surprisingly very powerful. Together with Tianshi Zhang from the Tianshi Mansion and the girl from Southern Xinjiang who plays the flute and controls insects, there are six great Tianwei masters, all just to save people?" "Then why didn't they just leave after rescuing the people? Why did they stay in Taiyuan City for so long? The only reason was that Li Xingyun was buying time for his men to leave. Why? What was he trying to hide? What other purpose did he have?" Zhou Dewei, who had no additional intelligence channels, was puzzled. "General, I have an explanation for this matter." Bago said suddenly. "You said." Bago analyzed: "Li Xingyun is a young man after all. He just wants to show off by saving people, just like what he did when he killed Zhu Wen in Luoyang. Almost all the bad guys were transferred to Luoyang just to show off for him." "According to the arrangements made by the Bad People in Luoyang at that time, killing Zhu Wen was nothing more than a matter of drinking a cup of poisoned wine. However, Li Xingyun still took the risk to go there in person. This shows that this person is very selfish and ignorant of the overall situation. He took risks for the sake of his wise leader." Zhou Dewei nodded and said, "What you said does make some sense, but we have to investigate to find out what Li Xingyun's conspiracy is. Pass the order to seal off all major checkpoints and search for Li Xingyun and others!" "Yes, General." Bago was about to leave after receiving the order when he suddenly saw a cavalryman galloping towards him from the city gate. "Report! General, Yang Shihou and other military governors have gathered 100,000 troops in Xiangzhou, and they seem to be going to war with our Jin State!" This loud shout immediately changed Zhou Dewei's expression. He was unusually surprised and asked, "Yang Shihou? Isn't this old man seriously ill and bedridden?" Zhou Dewei reacted and quickly said to Bago and Bal: "I'm going to see Prince Jin. Bago, you go inform His Highness. Bal, you go back to the camp and prepare the army for battle!" "Yes, General!" Bago and Bal were also shocked when they heard the news, and they both bowed and obeyed the order. The war between Liang and Jin has been going on for decades. Both sides have won and lost, and neither side can defeat the other. Although Zhu Wen is dead, the Underworld Emperor is dead and the Ghost King is in a coma, in terms of Liang's current national strength, it is still capable of fighting with Jin. The peak moment of Liang State's combat power was before Zhu Wen became emperor. At that time, Liang State had strong soldiers and horses, and with the help of the four corpse ancestors of Xuanming Sect, Jin State, Qi State, and Shu State were all suppressed by Liang State. It was so glorious. However, after Zhu Wen became emperor, in just a few years, the national strength of Liang State went from bad to worse. Now it fell into the hands of Zhu Youzhen, who ignored state affairs, and the entire Liang State was just a shell without any substance left. ...Prince Jin’s Mansion. Li Cunren was casually turning a dagger in his hand. At this moment, Shang came back. Li Cunren asked, "How is Tongwenguan?" Shang replied, "Li Xingyun and his men have successfully rescued Zhang Zifan. The leader of the Hui Sect was killed by Li Xingyun. The seriously injured Saint Lord led 3,000 Black Cavalry out of the city to pursue Li Xingyun." "Haha." Li Cunren sneered and said, "My elder brother really knows how to put on an act. He couldn't stop Li Xingyun in the city, so how could Li Xingyun let him catch up with him when he was already injured? He is putting on an act for his adoptive father to avoid being punished." Shang was silent, and Li Cunren then asked, "What about Li Xingyun's strength?" Shang was silent for a moment, then said: "He easily crushed the Holy Lord, kicked away the fierce general Baye in the army, and killed Li Cunhui with a casual sword. His strength should be the same as General Zhou, both of them are in the late stage of the Great Heaven Realm." "Late stage of the Great Heaven Realm..." Li Cunren narrowed his eyes slightly, and the knife in his hand stopped spinning. "What secrets does this descendant of Li Tang have that he has such power at such a young age?" "I don't know." Shang also felt a little annoyed. A young man who is less than 20 years old, you said his skills have reached the late stage of the Great Heaven Realm, who can bear it? "This person must be my adoptive father's biggest enemy!" Li Cunren groaned. At this time, a soldier came and said, "General Zhou wants to see the King of Jin." Li Cunren waved his hand and said, "Foster father has not come out yet, so he won't see anyone." The soldier bowed and said, "Liang State's Yang Shihou has assembled a large army to attack our Jin State. The military situation is extremely urgent. Please inform the King of Jin."

Li Cunren's face changed when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "It's not even spring yet, why is Liang State going crazy?" "Wait, Yang Shihou? He's out again?" Li Cunren looked a little solemn and immediately rushed to the place where Li Keyong was in seclusion. Arriving in front of a rockery in the back garden, Li Cunren turned the mechanism, and with a click, the rockery suddenly opened to reveal a stone door. Li Cunren bowed towards the stone door and said: "Father, urgent military information. Yang Shihou has assembled a large army on the border of our Jin State and intends to attack our King of Jin. General Zhou is waiting for you to come out of the meeting hall." "understood." Li Keyong's voice came from inside the door. At this time, Li Keyong's whole body was surrounded by blue thunder. Amidst the crackling sound, the powerful aura was like a hurricane. In terms of momentum alone, even the four great corpse ancestors combined would not be as fierce as him. "Huh... without the general principles of the mental method... hehe, it's useless." Li Keyong, gathering his inner strength, clenched his fists violently. boom! A powerful thunder suddenly erupted. Li Cunren, who was standing outside the stone gate, only heard a loud bang. The stone gate slowly opened, and Li Keyong, who was sitting on the wheelchair again, pushed the wheels and slowly came out. "Congratulations, godfather, your divine power has been perfected!" Li Cunren had a look of joy on her face. Judging from what happened just now, she thought that Li Keyong's Five Thunders Heart Technique had reached perfection. Unexpectedly, Li Keyong sneered and said, "This Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art is true, but the technique is incomplete. Without the general outline of the technique, it is useless to practice it. I have already dispersed the power of the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art." "What! There's something wrong with the technique? Could it be that Li Siyuan has secretly kept the outline of the technique?" Li Cunren did not hide his suspicion of Li Siyuan. "He doesn't have the guts to deceive me." Li Keyong said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Even if I don't have the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Art, I am still invincible in the world." "Father is right!" Li Cunren complimented him and immediately saluted, "When Father was in seclusion, something happened in Taiyuan City." "Huh? What's the matter?" Li Keyong frowned slightly. The issue of Liang State's war had not been resolved yet, and now something had happened in Taiyuan again. The feeling that things were out of control made this old fox a little angry. Li Cunren, who had followed Li Keyong since childhood, naturally heard the emotion in Li Keyong's tone. She immediately told Li Keyong the news that Li Xingyun led people to attack Tongwenguan. "Humph! How dare you, a young boy, be so presumptuous!" Li Keyong snorted and asked, "Where is Li Xingyun?" Li Cunren whispered, "Hanba used gunpowder to blow open the city gate. Now Li Xingyun has already left. The Holy Lord led 3,000 Black Cavalry out of the city to chase him. There is no news yet." "Black Knight..." Li Keyong groaned, his face regained its composure, he turned his wheelchair and said, "Let's go to the meeting hall." …… Li Ying's residence. "What? Are you saying that Li Xingyun left calmly without any harm?" Li Ying looked incredulous. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, saying, "How is this possible? This is Taiyuan. Li Xingyun attacked Tongwenguan and was able to leave calmly? Is this Li Siyuan a waste?" The Mirror Heart Demon at the side laughed awkwardly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Li Xingyun brought along the three corpse ancestors and Zhang Tianshi, all of whom are top experts in the world. It's normal that our people can't stop him." "How did he get involved with Corpse Ancestor?" Li Ying's face looked a little ugly. At this time, Mirror Heart Demon whispered, "It seems that the Marshal provided him with information..." "Marshal... humph!" These are the two words that Li Ying cannot bear to hear the most now!

"Isn't he dead? Why can he still help Li Xingyun? Is he not dead? Is he not dead?!" Li Ying turned around, grabbed Mirror Heart Demon's collar and roared. Mirror Heart Demon had a frightened expression and said, "I don't know. Marshal, he must be dead. Li Xingyun personally conducted the funeral. There is no reason for the Marshal to fake his death." Upon hearing this, Li Ying turned around and slumped in his chair. He covered half of his face with his right hand and said, "He must be dead. He can only die. If he doesn't die, no one can defeat Li Xingyun, no one..." Li Ying told himself over and over again that Yuan Tiangang was dead, Yuan Tiangang was really dead. Only when he was sure that this evil leader who weighed on his heart was dead, did Li Ying have the courage to rebel against the Tang Dynasty... (End of this chapter)
