However, in Anyang City and the City Lord's Mansion, there was suddenly a bright light, and Xu Ren invited the newcomers to "join the game"; there were thousands of Anyang's elite soldiers standing around, with talismans, magic tools, and guns in abundance!
Suddenly, footsteps were heard on the city wall, and soon more guards came down from the city wall to completely surround the area!
All the night travelers from Luliang County were stunned!
Xu Ren waved his hand, and a maid beside him immediately placed snacks on the table and lit incense. Looking at Xu Ren's attitude, it was obvious that he was not meeting an enemy, but a friend!
Xu Ren stopped talking and just waited quietly.
Li Yuanming, the Wencheng of Luliang County, and Zou Zhiquan, the right general, looked at the situation but did not give up! Because there was still a chance. Once a chaotic battle occurred, the guns of Anyang would lose their use. If the two could seize the opportunity to catch Xu Ren, there would still be a chance!
Li Yuanming and Zou Zhiquan looked at each other and immediately understood each other's intentions. With a wave of their hands, they ordered their elite soldiers to disperse and attack in all directions.
But Xu Ren remained calm and composed. There was no need for Xu Ren to give any commands. The elite Anyang soldiers around him instantly cast a large number of talismans and spells. How could they use guns to encircle the area at such a close distance? This was just a decoy; the real killer was the talismans!
Of course, Luliang County also had talismans, but the soldiers on the Anyang side treated them as ordinary stone tablets, throwing them out one by one, with various complementary spells rolling like a tide. The few talismans in Luliang County were soon submerged.
The next moment, the soldiers of Luliang County were slowed down by the spell, and then the soldiers of Anyang began to cast nets! One big net after another was cast, and all the elite soldiers of Luliang County were subdued and detained in an instant! These nets were all woven with spiritual silk threads, and the masters of the Jindan stage could not break free for a while.
Li Yuanming and Zou Zhiquan were both let go, but with two commanders left alone, it seemed they could do nothing!
Finally, Li Yuanming sighed, and took off his black clothes in a very straightforward manner. He walked to Xu Ren and sat down generously, "I lost!"
Xu Ren looked at the person in front of him, "Are you Li Yuanming?"
"Yes." Li Yuanming grabbed the teacup and drank it all. "Thank you for running all night."
Xu Ren frowned slightly, "I see that you have a clear face and don't look like a treacherous person, why do you use any means necessary?"
Li Yuanming was also generous, "Appearance is just appearance, but I am indeed a poisonous scholar. I admit this point directly."
"Oh..." Xu Ren finally came to the real observation period of Li Yuanming. Li Yuanming ate and drank without any scruples, but the right general Zou Zhiquan next to him was a little restrained, panicked, and at a loss.
The atmosphere was dull for a moment, with only the sound of Li Yuanming enjoying his meal. After a long time, Xu Ren finally couldn't help but speak: "I see that you have a righteous face and do things honestly. You don't seem to be a completely evil person. You don't seem to be the same as the legendary poisoner."
Li Yuanming didn't even raise his head, just mumbling: "It's very simple, I believe that the path I'm on is correct. My teacher repented before he died. It's not the poisonous scholars who are wrong, but the lords who use poisonous scholars are wrong. As counselors, whether it's a counselor like Mr. Xu or a poisonous scholar like me, we have only one responsibility, that is, to make suggestions. And how to adopt opinions, how to reject opinions, how to weigh opinions, is not our business, that's the lord's business. When two countries go to war, there are tens of millions of casualties. Whose fault is it? It's not the general's, nor the prime minister's, but the emperor's fault! If a lord cannot distinguish right from wrong and cannot reasonably weigh opinions, that's the lord's problem, not our poisonous scholars. So, there's nothing wrong with poisonous scholars, and I don't think I'm wrong. Judging from the current situation in Luliang County, my original suggestion was definitely the most effective suggestion. Of course, I admit that it was the most extreme suggestion; but I'm a poisonous scholar, and this is how I think."
