Chapter 606 Responsibility for Cause and Effect

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Li Tai turned pale with fright. This low-level warrior named Li Lanshan was from the Bird Tribe. He actually wanted to assassinate the Yellow Emperor. As the leader of the Bird Tribe, it was difficult for him to clear the suspicion and get rid of the relationship.

"This person, this person...where do you start talking about this?" Li Tai was extremely nervous.

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "It's a long story. Back then, the Ox Tribe and the Bird Tribe teamed up to attack Youxiong. The Bear Tribe's wizard hurriedly cast a spell to transfer me to another place. He never thought that something would go wrong in a critical moment. Instead of sending me to safety, I was sent five thousand years into the future.”

Wu Zhongyuan paused for a moment when he said this. After Li Tai came back to his senses and sorted out his thoughts, he continued, "For some reason, this bird tribe warrior named Li Lanshan actually lived for more than five thousand years, exactly five thousand years later. When I met, this person knew my identity and actually wanted to assassinate me."

Although Wu Zhongyuan's explanation was simple and accurate, Li Tai still couldn't fully understand it. For a person in ancient times, it was difficult to understand time, space and wormholes.

Although Li Tai couldn't understand, he believed that Wu Zhongyuan would not make things up out of thin air. Since this person was assassinated five thousand years later, it had nothing to do with him. He felt a little lighter and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Since this person has evil intentions, just kill him." Why bother traveling so hard to go to his hometown?”

"Go and have a look. I want to know why he wants to assassinate me." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Since Wu Zhongyuan insisted on going, Li Tai could only agree and accompany him in person. If he pushed back, he would be suspected of being a thief with a guilty conscience.

Jiudu is one of the walled cities of the Bird Clan, adjacent to Jiuli. The distance between the two places is only 500 miles, so the two of them set out quietly without disturbing others, using their body skills to go together.

Arriving at Jiudu before midnight, we found that the Lord of Jiudu City was a woman named Li Baizhi, she was in her early thirties, had a cultivation level in Dongyuan, and was considered the leader of the younger generation of the Bird Clan.

Not all female warriors are single and unmarried like Li Wanzi and Wu Chen. This Li Baizhi is already married and is breastfeeding her child at home. When she learned that the two of them had arrived, her child no longer cared about breastfeeding. She dressed neatly and led the crowd. welcome.

Seeing that most of the people who came out were red-faced and smelled of alcohol, Litai was very unhappy. He frowned and asked. Someone said that a warrior in the city got married today. Everyone went to congratulate them and just drank some wine. They don't drink on weekdays.

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, indicating that Li Tai did not need to delve into the matter.

Since everyone was in front, Li Tai did not express his intention. He only said that the Yellow Emperor was on a routine tour. They all went to the morning meeting hall. Li Baizhi and others reported to Wu Zhongyuan the situation of Jiudu. After listening to the report, Wu Zhongyuan said a few words briefly, Everyone retreated, leaving only Li Baizhi alone in the morning meeting hall.

Even though Li Baizhi was the only one left, Li Tai did not directly tell his purpose of coming. Instead, he went around in circles and asked Li Baizhi what he thought about this trip. What does the southern camp think, and what is the reaction below?

Not to mention that she didn't have any bad opinions, even if she did, Li Baizhi didn't dare to say them. He only said that it is the bounden duty and duty of a warrior to unite the world, obey the orders of the court, and guard the borders everywhere.

Afterwards, Li Tai ordered Li Baizhi to take out the list of low-level warriors sent by Jiudu to Youxiong to test the blood of the Five Elements, and "randomly" selected a few among them and asked about the specific situation.

Li Baizhi is the lord of Jiudu City.

They are equivalent to the feudal officials of later generations, and the Dongshen Warriors are only small-level cadres at best. How could Li Baizhi know Li Lanshan? After soliciting their opinions, he called the deputy in charge of the Jiudu Warriors over and let him Report the situation to the two leaders.

According to the deputy city lord, Li Lanshan was born as a commoner and was an only son. After his father died in the battlefield, Li Lanshan was given his surname. Li Lanshan had an old mother who was bedridden all year round.

Li Lanshan was a filial son who took good care of his mother and a group of poor relatives. However, he had just become a cave god, and his salary and treatment were not high, so his family was struggling.

After hearing the report from the deputy city lord, Li Tai asked Wu Zhongyuan's opinion with his eyes. After gaining tacit approval, he proposed to go to Li Lanshan's house to have a look. Naturally, the deputy city lord did not dare to object and went with him immediately.

Jiudu City is also very big. The four of them walked for a quarter of an hour before they found Li Lanshan's residence. It was a dilapidated courtyard with only three shabby houses and an east wing. In fact, this was the treatment of a warrior, and it was for civilians. The houses have no yards.

The courtyard door was ajar, and the deputy city lord called several times from the door, but there was no response.

Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to signal Li Baizhi and Li Baizhi to go in first. They walked in front, followed by Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai.

To describe a house with bare walls is a bit exaggerated, but it is true that it is very poor. The few furniture and utensils in the house are very old, and the house is dark, damp, and filled with heavy mold.

Lying in the east room is a middle-aged woman. The living environment at this time is not good, and people age quickly. She looks like she is in her fifties or sixties when she is in her forties. This woman has been sick for a long time, is very thin, and looks haggard. , seeing someone coming in, he tried to get up, but he only moved, unable to sit up with his arms.

The smell in the room was very unpleasant, with an obvious smell of defecation. Wu Zhongyuan did not stay in the room longer, and went out with Li Tai after exchanging a few words. Li Baizhi personally cleaned the woman, while the deputy city lord came forward. Go and summon the mid-level warriors who know the situation better.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's face looking ugly, Li Tai didn't dare to say anything. When the blue warrior in charge of people's livelihood arrived, he cursed and asked why the bedridden old woman had no one to take care of her.

The blue-qi warrior was named Li Yong. He was in his early forties. He was frightened by Li Tai's scolding. There was also a sullen and silent Huang Di beside him. He was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff and couldn't speak. It is said that this old woman was previously taken care of by a woman named Alan, who was a friend of Li Lanshan.

"Where is Alan now?" Li Tai asked loudly.

The deputy city lord didn't answer, and Li Yong didn't answer either. The two looked at each other with a guilty conscience.

"Where are the people?" Li Tai raised his voice.

Hearing Li Tai's words, the two of them shuddered in unison, and the deputy city lord replied in a trembling voice, "Married."

"Who are you marrying?" Li Tai's face was very ugly.

The two of them didn't answer.

At this time, several women had come to replace Li Baizhi. Li Baizhi came out of the house and asked sharply, "But is the lady Li Pi Sandong married today?"

The two of them were trembling and did not dare to answer.

Seeing this situation, Li Baizhi immediately understood what was going on. He stepped forward, opened his bows from left to right, and slapped each of them in the face. "Why are you so dazed when you are so close to your mother? Go quickly. If we consummate the relationship, just slap Li Pi on the head." Cut it off for me."

After being beaten, the two turned around and ran away not far away. The deputy city lord turned around and looked back, "If the marriage had not been consummated..."

"Tie him up and I will kill him with my own hands." Li Baizhi said loudly.

After the two of them ran away, Li Baizhi turned around to face Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai. Seeing that the two were silent, she had to take the blame and kneel down, "This subordinate made an oversight, please forgive me, the Holy Majesty and the Prince."

"I'll leave Jiudu to you, and you're just going to control it like this?" Li Tai asked in a deep voice.

"That's all, get up." Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand. Li Baizhi just gave birth to a baby not long ago, so it's understandable that she doesn't have time to care about this.

When Li Baizhi stood up nervously, Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, "Is the woman okay?"

"She was already ill, and she suffered from the cold, which made her worse. She is not very optimistic." Li Baizhi replied.

"Treat them at all costs. It's up to you to ask if they can't be cured." After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Tai, "This matter is also my negligence. All similar situations must be properly handled. Whenever there are elderly people at home, Those who have no one to support them and those who have children but no one to take care of them will be transferred back from the eastern and southern camps."

"Follow the Holy Order." Li Tai bent down and responded.

"Also," Wu Zhongyuan said again, "all the warriors and soldiers who go to war must have their female relatives properly protected and adequately provided for. Those who do not abide by women's conduct shall be beheaded. Those who threaten and occupy shall be beheaded."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Li Tai and Li Baizhi hurriedly responded, and then looked at each other. This decree can be said to be the most severe one.

What the two of them didn't expect was that Wu Zhongyuan then added, "Those who flirt with others will be killed."

This added sentence directly sent shivers down the spines of the two of them. If this message is passed on, no man will dare to talk to military relatives in the future, because the boundaries of frivolous teasing are too blurred.

Wu Zhongyuan also knew that his decree was a bit harsh, but he did not want to change it. Warriors and soldiers defended the country and guarded the border. They were not allowed to have any worries while fighting bloody battles. Parents and children should be properly taken care of, and wives and concubines should be strictly protected. Wu Sangui This is the best example. If Li Zicheng's subordinate Liu Zongmin did not touch Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui would not lead Qing troops into the pass in a fit of anger.

Not long after, the deputy city lord and others returned with a middle-aged warrior in custody. Unexpectedly, it was known that it was Li Pi, the bridegroom official who took the concubine. Li Pi was tied behind his back. His face was very ugly, both red and white. The red color was due to drinking. After drinking the wine, Bai was frightened.

Seeing this person, Wu Zhongyuan let out a deep breath. He was most afraid that the deputy city lord would come back with a human head, which meant that he was late and the uncooked rice had already been cooked. Fortunately, the rice was still uncooked.

People without surnames are poor people, and warriors can marry whenever they want. Although what Li Pi did was wrong, it was not extremely evil at the moment, but he deserved to be unlucky enough to meet Wu Zhongyuan.

When Li Pi knelt down, Li Baizhi first asked him if he was close to Alan. Fortunately, Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai came, and Li Pi accompanied him to greet him, and he didn't have time to do anything bad.

After receiving a negative reply, Li Baizhi drew out her sword and raised it high to slash. The reason why she raised the sword was in the hope that Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai would be kind enough to stop her. But what she didn't expect was that neither of them made a move to stop her. The sword was already unsheathed and she had to slash. , she used the black iron sword given by Wu Zhongyuan, which was very sharp. With one strike of the sword, Li Pi's head was instantly dismembered.

"Recall Li Lanshan to support his sick mother." Wu Zhongyuan said, "Give Alan the surname Wu and marry Li Lanshan."

Huangdi's words were an imperial edict, and there was no room for doubt. Although everyone did not understand why he was so good to Li Lanshan, they had no choice but to accept the edict.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't wait long, and after finishing the matter, he and Li Tai set off to return.

I was in a good mood when I returned. Taoism talks about responsibility and Buddhism talks about cause and effect. In fact, they are all the same thing. He treated Li Lanshan so kindly, and it was impossible for Li Lanshan to be resentful towards him anymore. Even if he survived to the modern age by chance, he would only protect him. him instead of assassinating him. As for whether this move will change history, that is not what he needs to think about at this time. Everyone knows the butterfly effect. If the problem is considered entirely from the perspective of modern known science, even time travel will be impossible. Halfway through the third watch, the two returned to Jiuli. There was only half a watch left and they couldn't sleep. They drank tea and chatted from the palace. As the fourth watch approached, everyone came and went to the back mountain together to pay homage to the moved tomb. ……\u003c/div\u003e \u003cscript\u003eread3();\u003c/script\u003e\u003cscript\u003ebdshare(); \u003c/script\u003e
