Iron Armored Emperor

The little beggar was sad for a while, but he still remembered that the strange old man had many tricks, he didn't want to be seen or heard by the strange old man with his weak appearance, so he wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

He raised his head and saw General Di coming slowly leading two horses in the distance, while the king of Chu pulled out the sword he was wearing with him for some reason, cut off a piece of his sleeve, and split it in two.

There are two inconspicuous low wooden pillars in the yard, one with a right-angled opening and the other with a sloped opening at the top. Gu Lie covered both openings with the sleeves he cut off.

"How do you know the mechanism here!" The old thief lost his spying eyes and said angrily.

Gu Lie glanced at the sound-transmitting iron pipe hidden in the wooden steps, but ignored him.

In his previous life, Gu Lie invaded the palace of the Yan Dynasty and saw a similar machine orifice, so it must be in the same line.

Both Wushuang and the big brown horse had two bundles of firewood tied to them. The big brown horse was not doing well, but Wushuang, the boss, was not happy. Seeing Gu Lie standing in the yard, he wanted to get rid of Di Qiye and complain to Gu Lie.

Di Qiye gave it a "dare you" look.

Wushuang got up to be honest and went to rub the big brown horse for comfort.

Di Qiye went into the yard and saw that Gu Lie was missing a large piece of his sleeved robe, he couldn't help laughing: "My lord, you have already parted the peaches, and you have broken your sleeves, even if you jumped into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it off."

Gu Lie recalled his previous life, looked at Di Qiye, and thought helplessly that it was because of you.

I haven't washed it clean in my previous life, so I don't care about it in this life, Gu Lie replied: "The so-called catching traitors and catching doubles, I have General Di to accompany me to bear this reputation, so why should I be afraid?"

Only then did Di Qiye remember that Gu Lie was programmed to be unable to escape by himself, to kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred, so he couldn't help being speechless.

He unloaded the firewood he had found from the horse, walked lightly, and placed it around the wooden house, pouring oil on the fire.Then slowly use the remaining kerosene as a torch.

The old thief lost his prying eyes and was panicked. He didn't know what they were doing outside. Suddenly he heard Gu Lie asking the beggar: "How did you get captured into the valley?"

The little beggar replied honestly, saying that the old beggar and he fled to Qinzhou with the big flow, and when the Chu army came to attack, he didn't know where to go. At this time, he met the strange old man.

It was strange that the old man had inconvenient legs and feet, leaning on a walking stick, accidentally fell on the side of the road, and was laughed at.The old beggar was kind, helped him up with the little beggar, and asked him where he was going.

But he didn't expect that the old beggar would give them a tael of silver as soon as he made a move, saying that he was grateful for their help, but the old beggar refused to accept it, and the old man invited them to drink tea at the tea stand and start talking.

The strange old man claimed to be just a domestic servant. He lived in seclusion with his master for many years in the mountains and forests. He didn't know the changing situation outside. This time he went out to buy department stores, only to realize that it was the time of war. He just wanted to bring a smart and hardworking child back, as his successor, to continue to take care of his master after his death.

The old beggar walked around the rivers and lakes, and he could see that the clothes and conversation of this old gentleman were not something ordinary people could have.Then again, this pair of master and servant lived in seclusion in the valley and lived a stable life without having to give birth for several years. They must be a very extraordinary family.

Moreover, since he lives in seclusion in the valley, he is not afraid of the war. If the little beggar can be spotted, it will be a stable life for a lifetime. The more the old beggar thought about it, the more he thought it was a good thing, so he took the bait.

Hearing the old beggar's embarrassing Tuogu, the strange old man looked the little beggar up and down, smiled, and said it was appropriate.The old beggar was overjoyed, and solemnly bowed three times to the strange old man, and let the little beggar go back with the strange old man.

The old beggar was pushed and injured on the way to escape. He had been homeless for many years and was very old. He used to take care of the food of the little beggar, but later it was mostly the little beggar who was looking for food to take care of him.

So the little beggar knew in his heart that if he left, the old beggar would not be able to survive.No matter how he was willing to leave the old beggar, he refused to leave no matter what the old beggar said, no matter how the old beggar scolded him, he would not leave.He didn't speak nice words, just kept silent.

The old beggar didn't want to be a burden to the little beggar, so he cursed hard for a while, but the child didn't say a word, and the old beggar felt sad, the old and the young were relatively silent, feeling very desolate.

At this time, the strange old man finally said that it was lonely in the valley, and it would be good for several people to accompany the master to talk about outside affairs, why not go into the mountain with the old beggar.

The two were overjoyed that they could not be separated, they followed the strange old man into the valley, and they saw that the house was full of skillful workmanship, although it was dilapidated, it was much better than the turbulent outside.

I blame the old man for entertaining them to take a bath and change their clothes, have a full meal, have a good sleep, and then go to see the master.

The rich family has many rules, but the old beggar didn't become suspicious, and continued to harass her.

The little beggar woke up the next day, and the strange old man told him that the old beggar took him into the valley and left in his sleep without the last thing on his mind.

A bolt from the blue, but that's all.

The little beggar didn't want to believe that the old beggar was gone. No matter how much the old man tried to persuade him, he refused to bury the old beggar, and even became suspicious. go outside.

The winter was very cold, and the little beggar found a cave to hide in a cave, guarding the old beggar's body. After two days, the old beggar's mouth, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were black, and his heart was purple, obviously a sign of poisoning.

The little beggar dragged the sword he found in the cave to seek revenge from the strange old man, and trapped him with the strange old man's trap, but the strange old man was not ashamed of harming others at all, and even complacent, so that the little beggar ran back to the cave in anger , facing the corpse of the old beggar is another grief.

The next day, the little beggar summoned up his courage to question the strange old man again, and bumped into Gu Lie and Di Qiye.

The little beggar didn't confide in all the grief, anger and sadness of the past few days, but just explained what happened clearly, but Gu Lie and Di Qiye were both extremely smart people, so they didn't understand the child's calm and clear words. How much panic.

At this time, the old thief laughed darkly, saying that the old beggar was too greedy and came to beg for food, so death would not be a pity.

His words made the little beggar tremble with anger, Gu Lie put his hand on the little beggar's shoulder, and Di Qiye raised his foot and kicked a stone on the ground precisely into the sound transmission iron pipe, making a heavy ding There was a loud noise, and the old thief yelled unpreparedly, probably because the loud noise shook his ears.

"Old thief," Di Qiye said, ignoring the old thief and cursing, "do you have any last words?"

"……What do you mean?"

Di Qiye chuckled: "You don't think that I can't kill you? To tell you the truth, I set up a circle of firewood outside your wooden house. It's so cold, so you can just let your fate go. You deserve it if you were burned to death, but if you didn’t, I’ll pick you up and make another cut. In short, you’re going to die today, so, do you have any nonsense to say?”

He made a gesture while talking, which means retreat in Chu Jun's sign language.Gu Lie held the little beggar by the shoulders, and led him back, all the way to the outside of the courtyard, where he stood with Wu Shuang and the big brown horse.

The old thief panicked: "You, how can you be so vicious!"

Di Qiye sighed: "How come you are so shameless when you are about to die. You call me vicious, just like Wei Bichen called Gu Lie evil-hearted, and Mu Lian called Wu Kun crazy. There is no normal person in your school."

The old thief couldn't change his mind full of scheming and sinister, after hearing this, he unexpectedly said: "Mu Lian scolded the leader of the Wind Clan? What's wrong with this trash? How did you know! You instigated Mu Lian to disobey me?"

"It seems that you have nothing to say," Di Qiye shrugged, rubbed the flint, and was about to light the torch.

"Slow down!...Slow down!"

The old thief realized that Di Qiye was not joking, and immediately shouted: "You can't kill me!"

Flint was not used to it, but Di Qiye was not in a hurry, he hit it slowly, and said relaxedly: "When you are dead, you will know whether I can kill you."

"The majestic king of Chu, how can he allow his subordinates to use lynching! How can such a king and grandson establish a country!" The old thief heard Di Qiye speak so easily, and thought there was room for relaxation, so he crossed Di Qiye and questioned Gu Lie.

Gu Lie didn't bother to answer, but saw the boy beside him looking up at him, so he replied: "You kidnapped children, killed innocent people, corrupted people's hearts with heresy and sophistry, and taught two apprentices who harmed the world. And kill him."

"Besides," Gu Lie looked at Di Qiye who had finally lit the torch, and told the truth to the dying man, "This king really can't control him, you beg for mercy, beg him."

Hearing this, Di Qiye glanced back at Gu Lie dissatisfied, was stared at by Gu Lie, turned back again, and asked angrily, "Old thief, are you finished?"

"You can't kill me!" The old thief finally panicked, "My master is Gongzi Li! Gongzi Li who has learned ten chariots and insight through the ages! If you kill me, you will kill the last successor of Gongzi Li!"

"Hold on."

Gu Lie called Di Qiye to stop, and questioned the old thief: "Young Master Li lives in seclusion in Qingjian, builds a book collection pavilion under the heavens, with a collection of millions of books, and opens a lecture hall in Qingjian. No matter who comes, from princes and grandchildren to farmers, students are all over the world. Later, the former dynasty was in chaos and their whereabouts were unknown. You said that you are the last successor of Young Master Li, what proof do you have?"

But the old thief laughed loudly: "Students are all over the world. He teaches students for nothing. In the end, he is so poor that only those books are left, and he is still reluctant to sell them. The principles he said are pedantic and useless. I understand people's hearts better than me. Everyone Praise him for his talents, if I hadn't stolen books and sold them, this talented man would have starved to death!"

"His good reputation, hmph, I'm just born inferior to him. If I were him, why would I be buried in this valley? I must have already been the emperor's teacher, the guest of honor in troubled times!"

"Which of the students he taught has stirred up the world? The students I have taught are all heroes!"

Gu Lie frowned: "Are you Gongzi Li's servant? You sold your book collection?"

Domestic servants are slaves, so they cannot obtain meritorious service, which is indeed unfair.But the problem with this old thief is not his background at all, but his bad nature.

"Sold a few copies," the old thief said disapprovingly, unwilling to answer his identity, "I always have to eat."

"That Xiaxia Library?"

The old thief burst into laughter again: "You still don't understand? Here is Qingjian, which used to be famous all over the world! The collection of books has been seized long ago! That trash of Gongzi Li who has only a name! , Insight through the ages' starved to death, hahahahahaha."

Hearing this, Di Qiye didn't know who Young Master Li was, but he sensed something suspicious, and asked coldly, "You are Young Master Li's servant, and you said that all the books were taken away, and he starved to death. How have you survived till now?"

The old thief's laughter stopped abruptly, and he was speechless.

After a long while, the old thief finally made a sound, bluffing: "Anyway, I am the last successor of Gongzili. After I die, no one will know about his knowledge!"

However, Gu Lie concluded: "What you said and what you did are all contrary to the virtues of Young Master Li Ze. Young Master Li has never accepted you as a disciple. You are just stealing books to sell money and gain fame. A villain with a heart of snakes and scorpions who harms his master."

Gu Lie said coldly: "You think your heresy is extremely clever, so why do you still want to beg for mercy under the banner of Young Master Li when you are about to die?"

"I, I know where Tianxia Zangshu Pavilion is!" The old thief couldn't refute, and hurriedly found a reason to survive for himself.

Seeing Gu Lie's gesture, Di Qiye threw the torch out without hesitation.

"I can't keep you."

"No——! You can't kill me! I'm talented! I can calculate the world! You can't"

When the torch touched the kerosene, it ignited with a whirring sound, instantly enveloping the firewood in flames. With the help of the firewood, the wooden house gradually ignited.

Di Qiye withdrew from the yard and got on the back of Wushuang's horse. Gu Lie rode on the big brown horse, stretched out his hand to the helpless little beggar, and lifted him to sit in front of him.

They rode their horses out for a while, and when they reached the hiding place where the two were hiding at the beginning, they turned their horses' heads and quietly watched the wooden house turn into a skyrocketing fire, accompanied by screams of gradually disappearing.

"My lord, Tianxia Library Pavilion?"

"The old thief is rich in money, and his words and deeds are suspicious," Gu Lie deduced, "Young Master Li came from an extraordinary background, and I have never heard of him being poor in his later years. If the collection of books is still there, it must be in this valley. If we stay here for a day, if If you can’t find it, send someone to block the valley and look for it later.”

Di Qiye was curious: "Who is that young master Li?"

"He is a great gentleman from the previous dynasty. He can be called an all-rounder. He loves the world and has both ability and political integrity." Gu Lie looked around. This valley is quiet and secluded, with towering giant trees and thick strange vines. It looks like a rare place. .

However, the legendary "Qingjian" decades ago was a erudite place with turbulent streams, countless bamboo houses, and the sound of debating and reading aloud everywhere.

There are also gatherings of literati such as the "School Club" and "Benhui", where sages and strangers keep in touch, composing poems, fighting wine, and laughing at the world.

That was the scene of the prosperity of the previous dynasty.

This grand scene can be seen in the previous dynasty, and it will be in the future in Dachu.

Gu Lie has already done it in his previous life, and in this life, he must do better than his previous life.

Di Qiye recalled his observations, and planned: "There are six traces of people in this valley, and each building has a different function. I have never visited most of them. If you want to find a collection of books"

"No hurry," Gu Lie interrupted him, looking down at the child who was sitting very upright in front of him, "Where is the cave you hid in before? Take me there."

Young Master Li's collection of books was obtained by accident, and he, Gu Lie, made a special trip to Qingcheng Mountain, not because of collecting books.

cave?Di Qiye paused as he pulled the rein. Isn't that the cave where he used to live?
