Chapter 333 Kill

"Ah, you came to Luoyang too?" Kou Zhong exclaimed.

"Why can't I come?" Jiang Liu looked at Kou Zhong with a smile, "Let's talk in another place!"

Soon, Jiang Liu, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan arrived at the largest restaurant in Luoyang City.The four of them randomly placed a private room, and after the food was served, they chatted while eating.

Suddenly, Jiang Liu looked at Kou Zhong and said, "Could it be that you are also fighting He Shibi's claim?"

"Really?" Kou Zhong looked at Jiang Liu and asked, "Aren't you also fighting He's Bi?"

"He's jade and Yang Gong's treasury, if you get one of the two, you can secure the country. Now that the flames of war are everywhere, all capable people want the whole country to be the emperor." Jiang Liu said lightly, "Who in the world can't make peace?" What about Choi's claim? Truth is a symbol of orthodoxy in the past, and when I come to Luoyang this time, I want to return with Choi."

Jiang Liu looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling who were thoughtful, and continued: "Therefore, don't believe in the nonsense of the Buddhist sect. It's all deception. But unlike the Buddhist sect, their enemy, the Demonic sect, has gradually I am doing some part-time work that is beneficial to the whole country, but I have always been promoted as a devil by those who claim to be the right path."

"How do you say that?" Kou Zhong asked.

"This should be mentioned from the experience of Momen." Jiang Liu said, "During the age and Warring States period, everyone expressed their opinions and all kinds of thinking converged; It led to fallacies."

"Do you know why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to 'remove all schools of thought and respect Confucianism'?" Jiang Liu asked himself and answered, "The answer is nothing more than stupid people. A group of clumsy people are naturally easy to rule; if the whole world is full of smart people, who would still Will he obey him? At that time, everyone will think, 'Why can he be the emperor and I can't?'."

Jiang Liu's words, in this period, everything is wrong.But everyone thought of his status as the commander of the Red Dragon Army, and felt that what he said was very reasonable. Only people like him can say these words, and dare to say them.

"What does this have to do with the Demon Sect?" Ba Fenghan asked abruptly.

"There is only one school left from the hundred schools of thought in those days. What do you think other schools will do as a part-time job?" Jiang Liu said lightly, "After 'dismissing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism' in the past, other schools have become united. It’s just because their thinking is different from the converging Confucian school at that time, so they are called demon gates by the people.”

"That is to say, the Devil's Gate is not called the Devil's Gate because of its many crimes?" Xu Ziling said in surprise.

"It is undeniable that there are evil people in the Demon Sect, just like there are all kinds of evil people in Buddhism and Taoism." Jiang Liu continued, "The Demon Sect may have killed many people on the surface, but the hidden ones rescued them." But the people of Buddhism and Taoism are exactly the opposite, they save people on the surface, but they harm people behind their backs!"

"If any school of thought develops to the extreme, it will inevitably discover all kinds of problems. For example, the current Confucianism, due to the lack of competition, has not made any progress for several years. Now the thinking of all the people in China is being suppressed. Imprisoned, and anything that jumps out of their domain is heresy."

"This is the tragedy of a thousand-year family and a thousand-year school!"

"Look, the Confucian family in Shandong, because their ancestors were Confucian sages, the descendants of the Confucian family are nobles in the whole country even if they do nothing, enjoying various privileges. This situation has lasted for more than a thousand years!" Jiang Liu sighed, "But look at the piece of land where the Kong family lives. Do the citizens have enough to live on?"

"No! When Yang Guang was in power, the first batch of volunteers in the world were in Shandong and Hebei! It's unbelievable that the place where they lived was full of complaints. What kind of irony is this, boasting that they are the blood of sages The place where people live is indeed the place where people complain the most in the world!"

"However, contrary to this, the Bashu area in the southwest is inextricably linked with the Demon Sect. But they are still living a life of Anji there, and they have not heard any information about the righteous teacher so far."

"Also, I have traveled to so many places, some chaotic and some prosperous. You see, the so-called places with the greatest public grievances are mostly those so-called high-ranking nobles, noble families, upright and powerful places; and Those places that are still stable are places that are inextricably linked to the dark side of society."

"All kinds of evidence are there. Up to now, do you still think that righteousness is such a clear thing?"

Jiang Liu looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling with a smile.There is no problem, these two aspects are really too innocent. In the original work, they were deceived by the people of Cihang Jingzhai, and they only looked at the appearance and could not see the deep things at all.In other words, these two people seem to be smart and talented tacticians, but they are not strategists at all.

In this regard, Cihang Jingzhai's concubine Xuan did much better than them.Concubine Shixuan is a true strategist, but in the original book she has successfully fulfilled all the missions of Shimen.Throughout the original work, Shi Feixuan's deeds have completely led Kou and Xu into her camp step by step.

Seeing that both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling fell silent, Jiang Liu continued, "You two, when you look at part-time jobs, you focus too much on appearance, you can't see what's really hidden behind, and you can't see the long-term future. thing."

"According to what you said, all those noble families are really villains? On the contrary, the Demon Sect has become the savior of the world?" Xu Ziling still couldn't accept it, because Jiang Liu's words had overturned him all along. thinking.

"You can't say that. It's just that when you do evil, ordinary people can't see the integrity of the noble family; but there are simply more demons." Jiang Liu replied, "In fact, there are some things, you guys I can also think about it myself. This society is filled with various classes, including farmers who work hard to cultivate, landlords who control a large amount of land, businessmen, nobles, and even small people in the dark society. Scoundrel."

"Every class is full of conflicts. If the small hooligans want to live well, they must harm the farmers who work hard to cultivate; It is even more necessary to reduce the cost of various channels, so as to make money. As for the conflicts between the nobles and those landlords and businessmen, I don’t need to say more!”

Seeing several people nodding, Jiang Liu continued: "Due to the existence of these conflicts, everyone is faced with a choice, whether to choose to benefit oneself or to choose to benefit others. If you choose to benefit yourself, then don't care about the lives of others; if you choose to benefit If you are a human being, then you need to sacrifice yourself, but if you sacrifice from generation to generation, no matter what kind of rich and powerful family you have, you will collapse.”

"So, if you look at those wealthy families, the reason why they can survive for so long is that they choose to benefit themselves rather than others. But if they are too self-interested, it will inevitably lead to fierce resistance from all classes, so they It is necessary to 'benefit people' as a superficial technique. This is the operation method of the people around you that you are familiar with, whether it is good or evil, it is actually this way, and they are not different in essence."

"Let's go back to Zhenghe Demon." Jiang Liu changed the subject and returned to the previous topic again, "Now in the whole country, the truth or righteous people account for the vast majority. Even if the Demon Sect develops, the number is still not as large The best of the right way. So this determines the difference between the two."

"On the way, there are so many people who are not productive. If you want to support these people, you must vigorously deprive the people at the bottom. Otherwise, you think that the thousands of temples and hundreds of thousands of monks in China are eating and wearing clothes. What? It’s not about relying on the low-level common people to farm and support them.”

"On the contrary, the Demon Gate is different. They don't have many people, so there is no part-time job to exploit the low-level people on a large scale. But only a few active elites in the Demon Gate can mobilize a large number of people. People get rich together with them. This is a contribution to the world. On the contrary, this kind of contribution is impossible in the legitimate way, because there are too many of them, and what they deduct is not enough for themselves. "

"For example, Anlong, the patriarch of the Demon Sect's Tianlian Sect, is nicknamed 'Pang Jia'. He is a big businessman active in Bashu. His subordinates control and integrate countless resources. Most people can survive because of him. "Jiang Liu said slowly, "As for this kind of part-time job, those noble families can't do it. Since most of their resources are concentrated on the situation, the targets they withhold are those honest farmers!"

Since ancient times, China has emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, so it is said that the connotation and accumulation of the integrity and accumulation of those aristocratic rich families and prominent families are things like land.And what Jiang Liu said simply made their various deductions from the dark to the clear, so that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling could see that there is no difference between the righteous way and the evil way in essence.

Jiang Liu's words are not poisonous.His purpose is very simple, that is, to tell Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling that businessmen can support countless people through their own means; while those with noble and upright families can simply lie on the land left by their ancestors and live by extorting civilians. Live a prosperous life.

To Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two people who were born at the bottom, such words are undoubtedly extremely lethal.It's the same deduction, why can you rich families live a superior life relying on the blessing of your ancestors; why do you look down on those who have struggled step by step and call them demons?
"Of course, if the righteous way is defeated by the evil way, the whole world will remain unchanged when the evil way takes power. Only when the righteous way and the evil way are in balance, can the common people at the bottom live a peaceful and peaceful life. A happy life." Jiang Liu said one last sentence.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Kou Zhong said: "Boss Xing, if Cihang Jingzhai doesn't give you He's Bi, how are you going to snatch it? This time, the person who escorted He's Bi, except Cihang Besides Jing Zhai's most outstanding disciple, there is another side."

"It's Ning Daoqi!" Jiang Liu said lightly.

At this time, Ba Fenghan's eyes lit up: "Ning Daoqi, one of the three great masters? How could this Ning Daoqi help the people of Cihang Jingzhai to give this He's Bi? How can he say that he is also a person of status! "

Xu Ziling said: "I heard by chance that the reason why Ning Daoqi was happy to give He's Bi this time is because he made an agreement with Cihang Jingzhai to borrow the Bi for three years."

Kou Zhong went on to ask freshly: "Besides being a symbol of the state and the emperor's power, He's Bi can be worth anything and accomplish. It really provoked one of the three great masters in the country to fight for it?"

"Heshibi does have some special uses, and it is of great use to us martial arts practitioners!" Jiang Liu commented, "It is said that this object can greatly make up for the congenital deficiencies of the human body, expand the meridians, and create supreme for martial arts practitioners. Basically, it is precisely for this reason that I took the initiative to snatch it!"

"There really are such fetishes in the whole world?" Kou Zhong exclaimed.

Even Ba Fenghan showed a trace of disbelief.

"Don't get excited too early. No one has been able to understand the power in He's Jade for so many years. Otherwise, why would Ning Daoqi send He's back to Cihang Jingzhai?" Jiang Liu said lightly. .

……

As time went by, the sky gradually became dark, and most of the people in the restaurant first returned to their rooms or went home!Jiang Liu and the others also walked down from the box.At this moment, a burst of footsteps came to everyone.

With the sound of his footsteps, Xu Ziling actually recalled Li Shimin's dragon and tiger's steps in his heart, and suddenly looked up.

I saw a person with a bamboo hat on his head, a sunshade hanging down, wearing gray cloth clothes, walking straight towards him, his footsteps were light and powerful, with an imposing arrogance of his own, which was extremely frightening.

Xu Ziling collected his mind and said in a deep voice, "King Qin, long time no see."

The man was slightly surprised, then sat down in front of him, took off the bamboo hat, showing Yingwei's appearance, and said in surprise: "Brother Xu, can you see through the face of younger brother? There is also Brother Kou, long time no see!" He raised his hand and called the waiter, "Bring wine!" Then he called Jiang Liu and others to sit down at the table nearby.

Jiang Liu carefully inspected this well-known monarch-Li Shimin.This is a Xuanwu young man, born with big ears, heroic appearance, eyes like lacquer, and vigor, and now he is proud and straight, with a calm attitude, and he has an aura of Yuan Zhiyue Zhi, which makes people feel at ease.

At this time, Li Shimin was also examining Jiang Liu, his eyes fell on the Mo Xue sword on Jiang Liu's back, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face: "So the Star Commander is here too."

The Yushe jug was brought to the stage, and after everyone filled the wine, Li Shimin clinked glasses and said with a smile, "This glass is for me, Brother Xu and Brother Kou, to reunite after a long absence." After drinking, he poured it again. Filled with wine, he looked at Ba Fenghan and said: "Brother Ba is famous all over the world, I am honored to meet you today, please drink up this cup!"

After drinking the second glass of wine, Li Shimin looked at Jiang Liu and said, "Xingzhuo came to Luoyang, what's your business?"

The two glasses of wine in front of Li Shimin are naturally very refreshing, but it is different when facing Jiangliu.The two have already confirmed their identities as enemies, so Li Shimin naturally can't talk like he made friends with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, otherwise it would be bad if there is some tongue-in-cheek in the future.

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "I'm here to do the same thing as you! I'll do whatever you're here for."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "People around me know what my father sent me to do, and I don't hide it. It's just that the world is in chaos, and no matter who it is or what power it is, it is obligatory to unify the world." And our Li family also wants to unify the whole country earlier! This Heshibi is of great use! In this troubled world, the common people are suffering, there must be a capable person who can keep Jinbai intact, our Li family, Jinbai intact The opportunity is great."

Jiang Liu smiled, and said: "You Li Clan take advantage of the danger in the Guanzhong to build up your power, Xu Guan is fighting against each other in the ups and downs outside the Guanzhong, and you are firmly seated as the overlord. In a few years, you will wait for military strength and power. After you have cultivated the power of the people and the people, you can slowly build up the mountains and rivers! In addition, if you can obtain Heshibi, then the righteousness of the world will be in your hands, and the possibility that you Li Clan can occupy the mountains and rivers is extremely high!"

"You Li family have had a good year, but it's a pity, with me here, you Li family must be beyond measure!" Jiang Liu said lightly, "I think you might as well respect me, when the time comes Prosperity and prosperity are just around the corner. Anyway, you are now just a forward general fighting for your father and brother."

Li Shimin shook his head again and said: "In the past, the faint king Yang Guang had no way, the people had no means of living, and all the heroes rose together. I, Li Shimin, only want to overthrow the tyrant and relieve the suffering of the common people. I dare not covet anything else. Star Jurisdiction, you are joking!"

At this time, Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "A bright pearl is always a bright pearl. Even if it is temporarily covered by grass, it will reveal its brilliance one day. Brother Shimin is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others."

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually lit up, and then he revealed a look of mourning and injustice, and said in a low voice: "That day when I helped my family Yan to raise troops in Taiyuan, he once promised that whoever among our brothers could conquer Guanzhong, he would be crowned heir. At that time, he once said to me in private: "This matter is all up to you to advocate, if the great event is accomplished, the natural credit will be due to you, so you must be made the son of the world."

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Brother Shimin has been around for so long, why did you show such an angry look just now?"

Li Shimin said dejectedly: "Because I am afraid that the old man will be another Yang Guang, then I will commit a heinous crime. Otherwise, even if Jiayan breaks his promise because of the woman's words, I dare not object. I don't have anything to say about the patriarchal lineage of "the son of the mother and the father."

Ba Fenghan belonged to the Turkic people, and he didn't want to say anything to Huaxia; Kou Zhong and Jiang Liu wanted to fight for the whole country, so they didn't have the attitude to question Li Shimin; now, only Xu Ziling and Li Shimin asked and answered each other, as if no one was around. .

Jiang Liu looked at Li Shimin's question and answer, and laughed in his heart: "Li Shimin is really as if no one else is around. In order to say that he is in harmony with Xu Ziling, he really exposed his shortcomings in front of me. He also saw that my Red Dragon Army has not yet wiped out Xiao Mi'an. , that's why I'm not afraid that I'll tear him down!"

Suddenly, a group of people sitting at a table far away from the five people whispered: "Well said!"

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan and Li Shimin looked in amazement, only one guest was left in the tavern, sitting in the farthest corner, with his back to them, drinking by himself.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan and Li Shimin exchanged glances, none of them could hide their surprise.

It was obvious that this person had just arrived, but the four of them didn't realize when he entered.

And when they speak, they try to lower and focus their voices as much as possible so as not to disperse them.And the opponent is at least five or six zhang away from them, if you can still hear their words, just based on this, you can know that the opponent is a top expert.

This person looked slender and elegant just from the back view, exuding a taste of chic and sugary sugar, and his hair was black and shiny in a scribe bun, which was the most attractive.

"Master Concubine Xuan... came here to pretend to be a secret again!" Jiang Liu laughed inwardly.

At this time, Jiang Liu looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "King Qin, you are being followed and you don't know it? This person has been following you since the beginning, and he didn't enter here until just now."

As soon as this remark came out, both Li Shimin and Shi Feixuan were shocked.Li Shimin already knew that there was an empty door to support him, so the previous suspicion was just pretended; while Shi Feixuan was shocked by Jiangliu's martial arts, and she saw through all her feedback.

Li Shimin collected himself, and raised his voice: "I don't know if what you said just now is aimed at my humble servant?"

The man said indifferently without turning his head: "There are only six of us here, and even the buddies have been sent away by someone from Qin. Who does Brother Li think he said those words to?" It sounds sweet and doesn't seem to be malicious.

At this moment, Kou Zhong clinked glasses to his concubine Xuan, and said, "Brother Qin, why did you come to have a glass of water and wine?"

The man replied calmly: "Brother Kou is polite, but Qin has always been a loner, so speaking like this makes him more calm."

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Everyone in the whole country is so tall and straight, what is the name of brother Qin Nai who taught swordsman?"

The man said slowly: "The name is just a sign of salary, you guys just pretend I'm Qin Chuan!"

Qin Chuan went on to say: "It's not true, brother Li said about brother Ling just now, what is the hope?"

Li Shimin smiled wryly and said: "It's not right that those words fell into Brother Qin's ears, so why don't we make public and discuss them?"

Qin Chuan shrugged and said: "Brother Li has a lot of masters coming with him, you can send someone to kill Qin after talking about it, so that outsiders will not expect to know about it."

"Bang!" Li Shimin slapped the table and sighed: "I, Li Shimin, am not the kind of person who only cares about my own strengths and recklessly hurts people's lives, brother Qin is just joking!"

Qin Chuan said coldly: "If you don't kill people, others will come to kill you. Brother Ling is ten years older than Brother Shimin. When the incident happened in Taiyuan, he was still in Hedong Mansion and never got involved in the big conspiracy. One year later, But he was forcibly established as the prince. In ordinary times, this is not a problem, but at this time when all the heroes in the country are competing, brother Shimin is leading the way outside, going through all kinds of hardships and dangers, beheading the pass, killing the enemy and taking the city. But he stayed in Xijing to sit back and enjoy his success. Even if Brother Shimin has the same intentions, Brother Ling only holds the position because he is old, how can he convince the people of the whole country, isn't he afraid of repeating Li Mi's experience of killing Zhai Rang?"

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said slowly: "Who is Brother Qin? How can he know so much about my Li family's affairs?"

Qin Chuan said without hesitation: "Brother Shimin, if you don't want to talk about this matter, why don't you let us change the topic?"
