Liaozhai Great Sage

An eunuch lowered his head and held a jade plate with a golden pot on it, and a golden cup next to it, which contained a cup of imperial wine.

"The king wants the minister to die, but the minister has to die? What kind of reasoning is this?"

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to signal the beautiful woman serving beside him to step down, then he stood up and said, "I, Li Xiuyuan, only know the truth that the ruler has no way, the subject goes to another country, the father is unkind, and the son goes to another country. My fate has its own destiny, not an imperial decree." can decide.”

After he finished speaking, he walked forward, took the imperial decree without even looking at it, then threw it away, and drew his sword to cut it.

In an instant, the imperial decree was cut into two pieces and fell to the ground, and then the jade plate was overturned, and the imperial wine was spilled on the ground.

The wine was thrown, and a thin red centipede rolled and twisted in the wine glass, and at the same time, a poisonous substance corroded the floor tiles on the ground.

"You, you are bold..." Zhao Yong trembled angrily, and he blushed.

He never expected that Li Xiuyuan would be so bold, cut off the imperial decree, and overthrew the imperial wine.

"Come on, come on, Zuo Qianhu, take this guy down for me."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Chixia, who was drinking beside her, laughed, and threw the wine jar away, holding a sword already out of its sheath.

At the same time, Wu Xiang was also glaring, holding a large stainless steel stick, standing by the side, anyone who dared to approach him would be knocked down with the stick and smashed into a pulp.

"Whoa~!"

There was also the sound of iron objects colliding everywhere in Ruyifang, either the steel knife was out of the body, or the bow and crossbow were being stringed.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yong was startled, and hurriedly backed away, then his legs softened and he fell to the ground.

"Master Li, if you want to fight against the imperial court, then you can only offend the lowly position." Zuo Qianhu stepped forward and said in a calm voice, with the big knife drawn from his back in his hand, ready to fight hard.

He didn't have the confidence in his heart, because he knew how high the martial arts skills of these fierce men around Li Xiuyuan were. 2000 troops could only be said to be barely enough, but he was not confident in taking them down.

"Zuo Qianhu, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to risk your life for it." Li Xiuyuan said indifferently: "You should learn from General Yasha, he didn't enter Ruyifang, but guarded outside."

"Serving the imperial court is a humble job." Zuo Qianhu's attitude was firm and he did not back down.

"That's a pity. I have killed a lot of people in my life, but I think I didn't kill a good person by mistake. Only you make me feel sorry. You are a loyal and filial person. I can't bear to kill someone like you, but if Zuo Qianhu, if you insist, I am willing to personally send you on your way, because such a court is not worthy of your allegiance, if you still have parents and wives in the world after you die, I will take care of them for you, please rest assured."

Holding the Tai'a sword, Li Xiuyuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then he strode forward.

Zuo Qianhu clenched his two sabers tightly, his whole body tensed up. The Lord Li in front of him seemed to be strolling in a leisurely manner, but in fact he was very skilled in martial arts. If he was afraid that he would be treated as a scholar, he would be courting death.

Chapter 766 The Death of Zuo Qianhu

A glass of poisoned wine wants to kill Li Xiuyuan.

If this can be done, it is too small to look down on people, he is not a foolish and loyal person.

This world will become like this, not to mention the chaos caused by ghosts, gods and evil spirits. The root cause is that the court is corrupt and the people complain. It is this kind of resentment that breeds many evil spirits that harm people.

So from the bottom of his heart, Li Xiuyuan is very dissatisfied with the Great Song Kingdom. If the dynasty had not been established and the fate could not be changed, how could he be willing to work for the Great Song Kingdom.

Cutting off the imperial decree and knocking down the imperial wine right now is to show his attitude.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan approaching, Zuo Qianhu gripped the sword tightly and whispered anxiously: "Hurry up, escort Master Zhao to leave Ruyifang, and the others will take Master Li with me..."

Immediately, the guards around took Zhao Yong, who was slumped on the ground, down, and then the guards who poured into Ruyifang came straight with long guns in hand.

But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan's long sword had already arrived.

With a big step, the sword light flashed, and he came straight to Zuo Qianhu.

Zuo Qianhu was shocked, and hastily swung his knife to block it.

"Keng~!"

He only heard the sound of gold and iron clashing, and the long knife in his hand broke into two pieces immediately.

Feeling that the long knife was cut off, Zuo Qianhu almost subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid it. He had already keenly felt a crisis enveloping him, and this avoidance was almost instinctive.

"Hey~!"

A hideous cut appeared on the arm instantly, and blood spattered.

"What a fast sword." Zuo Qianhu retreated again and again, he gritted his teeth and hurriedly tore off his clothes and wrapped them around his arms to prevent the blood from continuing to flow.

Even if he mobilized his internal energy for such wounds, it would not help.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Yes, you are wary of me. It is indeed impossible to cut you off with one or two swords. Your martial arts are not bad, and you are all experienced in life-and-death combat. Just now I held the will I am determined to kill you, if not for the sharpness of Tai'a sword, I would not have hurt you so easily."

A sword is a sharp weapon, and it has too many advantages for people with high martial arts skills.

Especially between life and death struggle.

"Lord Li, it's useless to talk too much. If you really want to fight against the court, you can only offend the lowly position today. Let's go together." Zuo Qianhu endured the pain. Get off Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly, and he didn't choose anyone to force him. He gestured, and soldiers rushed out from all directions in Ruyifang. Although there were not many of them, less than a hundred people fought in this small place, and the impact was not very big. , enough to fight for quite a long time.

And after a long battle, his goal was achieved.

"Master Li, there are 2000 people outside. You have less than a hundred people, why let them accompany their lives together? If Master Li can plead guilty, the capital can avoid another fight and killing today." Zuo Qianhu said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Zuo Qianhu, your vision is too low to see the world clearly. It may be out of loyalty for you to lead the army today. This is admirable, but your loyalty is better than mine. The things to be done are not worth mentioning, I know that what I did today is a wrong thing, with swords and soldiers, some innocent people will inevitably die because of me, but even so, I have to do some things."

"In the past, I only needed to do things for the common people and the world with all my heart. I could be upright, noble, and respected by others. But then I realized that this kind of persistence can't go far, because some things can never be done without making some sacrifices. , It’s like Han Gaozu’s 400-year foundation of the Han Dynasty, Tang Taizong’s Xuanwumen transformation created the Tang Dynasty, and Song Taizu’s yellow robe established the current Song Dynasty.”

"Some roads must be paved with blood. I didn't do such a thing for my own life today, but for the sake of the world. Of course, oppressing people with righteousness is always a bit high-sounding, hypocritical and cunning, but it doesn't matter. What I did There is no need for the world to understand, because all the karma, the world's accusations and criticisms will be borne by me alone, as long as there is less harm in the world."

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waved his hands, "Kill them back."

"Come to die." With the order, Wu Xiang was furious and beat out with an iron rod in his hand. He was so powerful and amazing that the forbidden army who rushed up with a single swing of the rod immediately fell down like harvesting rice.

Iron rods weighing hundreds of kilograms were waving in their hands, but everyone they encountered either fell to the ground with serious injuries or were immediately smashed to death.

In the narrow corridors and halls, flesh and blood flew all over the hall, screaming again and again, those forbidden soldiers who had never seen blood turned pale with fright when they saw such a fierce man going mad, and subconsciously backed away in fear.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat, come with me." Zuo Qianhu shouted loudly, holding a knife in both hands, and ran towards Li Xiuyuan.

He had participated in the battle of defending the city in Jinling City, and he knew how terrifying the martial arts of these fierce men were, but he was ordered by the emperor, how could he retreat before the battle and retreat without fighting?

"Zuo Qianhu, such a court is not worth your life for, why don't you step back and leave a useful body, and do more good things for the people in the future?" A big sword struck and forced Zuo Qianhu to retreat, but Yan Chixia said with a look of resentment.

Zuo Qianhu shouted: "I don't know right from wrong, and I don't want to. I only know to be loyal to my duties and serve the court. Other things are what those adults think, and have nothing to do with me. Today, His Majesty ordered Li to die. My lord, since the humble job has been ordered, it must be done well."

After speaking, he went up to kill with a knife.

Yan Chixia didn't want to kill him, so she fought more than a dozen moves with swords and swords, but there was no winner.

"The scholar is right. You are a fool. The Hu beauty he killed was a righteous fox fairy, and the official he killed was pretended by a demon. His current situation is all calculated by that centipede. He wants to send the saint back to his throne. Take back the divine power, let this world become a world of evil spirits with no innocence and no hope, let alone kill some people, even if he wants to kill tens of thousands of people, I will accompany him to kill, if the court succeeds, everyone will regret it in the future."
