Just as everyone was amazed at Zhu Li's ferocity, the old eunuch's eyes were blurred, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Li.
Looking at his appearance, you can tell that he has ulterior motives. The reason why he didn't attack immediately is probably because he was worried about Zhu Li's strength, which is why he was hesitant.
"Greetings, General." Upon seeing Zhu Li, Zhao Zilong hurriedly rode his horse forward to pay his respects.
"Greetings, General." Lu Fengxian would naturally not be negligent, even though he still had a pig-like face.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at them, looked at Lu Fengxian with sympathy, and asked with concern: "Is your face not disfigured? Does anything feel wrong?"
"It's okay." Lu Bu's eyes were a little evasive about his appearance, but he still forced himself to speak fiercely and angrily: "Li Cunxiao, don't fall into Lu's hands, otherwise, Lu will make him suffer ten times more."
In response to his harsh words, Zhu Li could only comfort him softly. After all, the two of them had fought against Li Cunxiao together, but neither of them could do anything to the other. If Lu Fengxian wanted to realize this wish, it would probably not be easy.
Li, Zhao and Lu entered the Xuan realm together, but Li Cunxiao, who was extremely talented, had an even greater advantage after entering the Xuan realm, and he should not be underestimated.
While the three were talking, Li Cunxiao, with a group of brave generals from Hedong, quickly retreated to the foot of Gaobi Ridge. There was the defense line that the Hedong army had built at all costs. After several days of construction, it had taken on the appearance of a checkpoint.
Madam Liu brought all the civil and military officials from Hedong and welcomed Li Cunxiao into the pass like a hero. She stood on a high place and looked towards the battlefield.
Jizhuzi's gang rescued Tan Qiao who was blown away by Zhu Li, and slowly walked towards where Zhu Li was stationed. Especially the leader Liu Haichan, his face was as gloomy as water, and it was obvious that he wanted to ask Zhu Li for an explanation.
The generals of Heshuo, such as Yuchi Jin, Xie Tian, Xie Di, Zhou Dewei and others, also hurried to Zhu Li's side, concentrating their vigilance and looking at the approaching hermits with unfriendly expressions.
Tan Qiao just attacked Zhu Li. How could General Heshuo not be wary of this group of people
Seeing Zhu Li, Jizhuzi and Budai Monk were the first to greet him, "Haha, General, we meet again."
This monk and the Taoist priest made Zhu Li feel very close to them. When he saw the two of them, a knowing smile instantly appeared on Zhu Li's face.
Of course, a true friend should be treated with a knowing smile and good wine. There is a saying in later generations: "The most precious things in the world are actually free."
Some people may not agree with this, but if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
For example, true friends and seniors who admire you, the help they give you is selfless; for example, your parents, from childhood to adulthood, have your parents ever asked you for compensation
Budai Monk and Bamboo Beater saved Zhu Li's life. Why did the two of them come and go like the wind without any sense of grudge
Perhaps in their eyes, it is for the sake of morality and chivalry; but in Zhu Li's eyes, this kind of righteous act of helping others is a great favor. The other party may not care, but one must remember it in his heart and be grateful.
Everyone will meet such predecessors and righteous people in their life. Some people will cherish them especially because they know that once such friends leave, it will be difficult for them to come back again.
In Zhu Li's heart, Ji Zhuzi and Budai Monk are such friends. At any time, they are worthy of Zhu Li's treatment with a sincere smile and an open mind.
"Master, Taoist priest, please come in." Zhu Li jumped off the horse, walked forward and bowed humbly.
"Haha, the old Taoist has a stutter, but he lives a good life. You don't have to worry about him, General." Ji Zhuzi said calmly, and then said: "Come, let me introduce you to these masters of the world."
Although Zhu Li was wary of these martial artists who were coming straight towards him, he naturally would not refuse Ji Zhuzi's kindness and hurriedly followed them.
Ji Zhuzi pointed at Liu Haichan and asked, "Xingchenzi, do you know?"
Zhu Li nodded. The Yanshan master had been staying in Zhu Li's mansion, and together with Dong Ningyang, he had been protecting his relatives with all his heart. How could he not know
"This is Xingchenzi's senior brother, Liu Haichan of Yanshan." Jizhuzi introduced solemnly.
Following the guidance of the bamboo striker, Zhu Li saw an old Taoist with white hair and beard, who was detached from the world. His eyes were sharp and his face was full of righteousness. He was obviously a respected senior.
Zhu Li did not dare to neglect and immediately bowed his hands to express his gratitude, saying, "Junior Zhu Li, I am honored to meet you, Taoist priest. I am deeply grateful for your kindness."
Secretary General Wang Zhixing once tried to assassinate Zhu Li on the bank of Shuo River but failed. He did not give up and hid in Cuiwei Pavilion in Shuozhou, hoping to make another attempt.
That time, it was Budai Monk and Jizhuzi who helped Zhu Li escape from death; then it was the Taoist priest in front of him who sent Xingchenzi and Dong Ningyang to Shuozhou to help Zhu Li sit in the governor's mansion, which prevented Wang Zhixing from taking action.
For Zhu Li, Liu Haichan really protected his family, so he was naturally grateful.
Liu Haichan looked at Zhu Li, feeling the same inexplicable emotion in his heart. Although this was the first time he and Zhu Li met, their entanglement had already happened a year ago.
He initially believed Li Keyong and thought Zhu Li was a thug, so he sent his eldest disciple Dong Ningyang to assassinate Zhu Li. Fortunately, the assassination failed, so he avoided making a big mistake.
It was not until his old friend Ji Zhuzi went to find him to argue that he realized that he had been used by Li Keyong. Feeling guilty, he sent his fellow apprentice and disciples to Shuozhou to protect Zhu Li's relatives in order to make up for his guilt.
But now, the little guy in front of him, who had always made him feel guilty, was wantonly provoking a war, which made him very angry.
Liu Haichan was angry and said to Zhu Li coldly, "Zhu Li, I have a question for you."
Zhu Li was startled by the other party's attitude, but out of respect, Zhu Li quickly said, "I dare not. If you have any questions, I will answer them."
"Okay." Seeing Zhu Li's sincere attitude, Liu Haichan's indignation subsided a little, and he said directly: "If I am not mistaken, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers behind you are the Heshuo army, right?"
"Why are they entering Hedong's territory now? Are you wantonly attacking Hedong?"
Liu Haichan's question made many people nervous, including Ji Zhuzi and Budai Monk. As for the other Taoist priests, they didn't care about it.
"How dare you! Why do you have to make a fuss about how my general acts?" Lu Fengxian suddenly shouted and angrily scolded Liu Haichan.
Who the hell is this idiot? How dare he speak to Zhu Li like that? Not to mention that Zhu Li is his lord, even from an emotional point of view, Zhu Li really saved him just now. How could he let Zhu Li be questioned by others
Lu Fengxian was not the only one who glared at Liu Haichan. All the generals behind Zhu Li looked at Liu Haichan with unfriendly expressions, even Zhao Zilong.
After all, among this group of people was Tan Qiao, who had attacked Zhu Li. General Heshuo really had no good feelings towards this group of people.
"Fengxian, don't be rude. He is one of my elders. Please be calm." These generals were all fierce and violent. They were often on the brink of life and death. They had no idea about the other party's background. Zhu Li was really afraid that they would fight with each other on impulse, so he hurriedly spoke out to calm them down.
In today's world, it is not uncommon for warlords to attack each other. Liu Haichan does not have to hold on to Zhu Li. It is all because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Liu Haichan has a chivalrous heart, but he does not have the ability to save all living beings. He always wants to do as much beneficial things as possible for the people of the world within the scope of his ability.
This is not just groundless speculation. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, many people with lofty ideals had nowhere to go and most of them lived in seclusion in the mountains. Among these people, the vast majority became monks. It is normal for Liu Haichan to have such an ambition.
In the past, the people he could influence were Li Guochang and his son Li Keyong. After Li Guochang's death, Liu Haichan placed his hopes on Li Keyong, but Li Keyong actually took advantage of him, which made him very disappointed.
The appearance of Zhu Li and the admiration of this young man by his old friends Ji Zhuzi and Budai Monk made him transfer his expectations to Zhu Li.
Today, he witnessed with his own eyes the Heshuo army's attack on Hedong. One can imagine how disappointed and indignant he was.
Although Zhu Li did not understand why Liu Haichan was so serious in his questioning, he still planned to respond to the senior seriously. But at this moment, a young general wearing silver armor and silver helmet, who looked like Pan An and more handsome than Song Yu, suddenly jumped out from behind him, stood beside Zhu Li, and said with a bow, "Master Jinchan, I am honored to meet you."
The young general who appeared was none other than Yuchi Jin. She was dressed in military uniform, and as soon as she appeared, she suddenly performed a lady's salute, which attracted everyone's attention.
"You, you are, the young lady?" No matter how well Yuchi Jin disguised himself, it was difficult to deceive the eyes of these masters. What made Liu Haichan unbelievable was that there was such a charming and beautiful lady hidden in Zhu Li's army. He couldn't help but be surprised.
This discovery made him even more disappointed in Zhu Li. There was a beauty hiding in the army. From a normal person's point of view, what else could she do
Not only was he suspicious, even other hermit masters, including Ji Zhuzi and Budai Monk, looked at Zhu Li as if he were a pervert.
Suddenly faced with such a situation, Zhu Li was instantly overwhelmed. Now it's bad, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash himself clean. Why did you run out when you were just standing behind him
Thinking of this, the look he gave Yuchi Jin was naturally a little resentful. Fortunately, Yuchi Jin was the wife he must marry, so if he couldn't explain it clearly, just let him be. No matter what these people thought, thinking this way, he felt calm.
Zhu Li's frankness made these hermits look even more disdainful. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the world was in decline and people's hearts were no longer the same. It turned out that all the feudal lords in the world were the same.
