Looking at the dozen men and women with terrified expressions, Uncle Liang's eyes were full of questions. He asked Master Li directly, "Elder Li, who are these people?"
Upon hearing this, Master Li smiled strangely and said, "To reply to the Left Envoy, these people are all deadly!"
"Whose life do you want?" Liang Bo's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this. "Whose life do you want?"
But this time, Master Li did not respond immediately. Instead, he walked closer to the crowd and pointed at a kind-hearted young man among them and said, "This young man is called Zhu Youyu, and he is the eldest son of Zhu Quanzhong, the governor of Xuanwu."
"Although Zhu Youyu was not born to Zhang Hui, he is very much in the heart of his father. Liang Zuo Shi, you said that with this young man in hand, how could Zhu Quanzhong not feel uncomfortable?"
Following the direction pointed by Master Li, everyone in the tent looked over.
I saw a kind-hearted young man standing there in fear. Facing the gazes of the crowd, the young man couldn't help but lower his head, looking as terrified as a helpless man surrounded by wolves.
Through Li Fazhu's introduction, everyone only knew that this was Zhu Quanzhong's beloved son; with his son in hand, he would naturally want to take his father's life. But no one knew which one Zhu Quanzhong, a great hero of his time, would choose between the country and his son.
However, the young man's expression disappointed everyone; think about his father, Zhu Quanzhong, what a gangster and tough guy, how could he give birth to such a son who couldn't stand the situation
The relationship between a good father and a bad son is clear at a glance.
As everyone was sighing, Master Li pointed to a bearded man and said with a look of disdain, "This warrior is called Shi Ximeng. He is the governor of Chengde, and Wang Rong's 'man'."
"Wang Rong's 'man'?" Everyone smiled when they heard this.
Thinking about the gentle and handsome young man Wang Rong, and then looking at the burly, rough and strong man in front of them, everyone couldn't help but start to imagine.
Putting these two together, no matter how you look at it, Wang Rong seems to be the one who is "suffering"; however, when you think of Wang Rong, a senior official, with his butt raised... ...
Before anyone could think of anything else, Master Li suddenly became alert, pointed at Zhu Chun, who looked unyielding, and said, "As for this person, he must be the master of Zhu Li's family."
"Is that right, Mr. Zhu Chun?"
"You, old man, really gave birth to an extraordinary son!" Master Li said with emotion.
If it weren't for Zhu Li, Li Fazhu believed that he would be the best husband for Wang Yueyao; if it weren't for Zhu Li, why would he bear the crime of betraying his own people and inviting the Di people to invade the pass
In his opinion, all this was caused by Zhu Li; and the person who made him hate so much that he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood was the middle-aged eldest son in front of him.
Looking at Zhu Chun, Master Li's expression was very complicated.
Looking at the villain-like Li Fazhu, Zhu Chun's eyes were cold and stubborn, and he said angrily: "Humph, Zhu doesn't know you and has never had any grudge against you. Now that I have fallen into your hands today, I will die or live. Give me a definite answer."
"However, if you want to use my life to threaten my Dalang, I would rather die!" Zhu Chun said resolutely, leaving no room for negotiation.
No father wants to be a burden to his children, and Zhu Chun is no exception.
It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. At least 70% of Chinese parents give a lot to their children and never ask for anything more. Therefore, if people, especially Chinese children, are unfilial, it is a crime that will be punished by heaven and earth.
The father of Zhu Li, the great general of Huaihua who was feared throughout the world and famous in the Tang Dynasty, was actually here!
When everyone in the tent heard this, they immediately shifted their attention from the rabbit manager Wang Rong to Zhu Chun.
It is obvious that Zhu Chun is a strong and heroic man, otherwise Zhu Li would not be so manly.
His description was six points similar to Zhu Li's; he was a man of strong character and indomitable spirit, no wonder Zhu Li was so brave. When everyone saw Zhu Chun's description and temperament, they were deeply moved.
Since ancient times, there have been countless stories about fathers being heroes and sons being heroes.
There are certainly many anecdotes like Zhu Quanzhong and Zhu Youyu, where the father is a hero and the son is a coward, but most of them are despised. Only father and son like Zhu Chun and Zhu Li will make people envy them.
Afterwards, Master Li went on to introduce several more people, all of whom were close relatives or favorites of Prince Shou's supporters. Uncle Liang seemed to understand the source of Master Li's confidence, and using his relatives to threaten him was, it must be said, a vicious move.
Not everyone is as heartless as Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. Even though Xiang Yu captured his father, he still wanted to have a piece of the pie. What a scumbag he is.
Although Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was an unrivaled hero throughout his life, morally speaking, he was actually a scumbag, there is no doubt about that.
In this world, we cannot use morality to hold others hostage, because this practice itself is immoral; however, every Chinese son and daughter has the obligation and responsibility to inherit and carry forward the virtues of our Chinese nation.
The meaning of filial piety and brotherly love is the most beautiful among them.
However, if Zhu Li was an ordinary warlord, Li Fazhu captured Zhu Chun, and Zhu Li saved his father, he would lose his loyalty to his subjects and subordinates; if he did not save his father, he would lose his filial piety to the world. No matter what the other party did, it would be wrong.
Therefore, in Liang Bo's opinion, Li Fazhu's move of threatening him with his relatives was particularly vicious.
However, what made Liang Bo curious was that Shuozhou was a solid block, and the general's mansion was guarded by the Yanshan master Xingchenzi; so how did this Master Li capture Zhu Chun
Thinking of this, Liang Bo's eyes began to flicker as he looked at Master Li.
This subordinate of his is undoubtedly a man of great means. It seems that he started planning for the world a long time ago. With such cunning and scheming, is he really willing to be a elder of the Shanhai Alliance
Just as Master Li was presenting the high-ranking officials and their relatives who supported Prince Shou to Liang Bo for a look like presenting treasures, Zhu Li also received a report from the ghost guards.
The fast report contained two pieces of information. One was that Zhang Huaishen of the Guiyi Army had sent a general to launch an attack on Fengxiang; and Gao Su and others who had stationed their troops in the north also took the opportunity to lead their troops westward.
As for the second piece of news, it was naturally about the disappearance of Zhu Chun in Shuozhou. In addition to Zhu Chun, another person also disappeared at the same time. This person was one of the four commanders of the Ghost Guard, Zhao Wu.
Before Yi Jiangnan and Li Gufeng, their fellow apprentices, defected to Zhu Li, the Heshuo Ghost Guards only had three commanders.
They are Jing Ming, Wang Chong, and Zhao Wu.
Therefore, Zhao Wu is undoubtedly a veteran figure among the Heshuo Ghost Guards. Such a person actually disappeared with Zhu Chun, and no one would suspect that he was the one behind it.
Even if some people had doubts, most people thought that Zhao Wu must have discovered something and tracked it down. But is this really the case
After receiving the news, Zhu Li naturally had no objection to Guo Qizuo's plan for Longxi; but this guy had lost his father again this time, which made Zhu Li very upset.
However, there was no sign of Zhu Chun, so Zhu Li had no other options except to mobilize the remaining ghost guards to search for him.
The next day, the various vassals gathered again.
In front of the high-ranking officials of the vassal states who supported Prince Ji, the death formation was still deployed.
Crossing the open space in the middle, Li Fazhu and his three companions once again came to the front of the camp of the vassal officials who supported Prince Shou, and asked to see Zhu Li by name.
Zhu Li was naturally not afraid of Li Fazhu, and he immediately brought Zhu Ya and Li Gufeng with him, and rode forward, coming close to Li Fazhu, Li Kuangba, and Lai Huer.
Looking at Zhu Li coming out of the battle, Master Li said leisurely: "I have heard of the great reputation of General Huaihua for a long time, but I have never seen the general's demeanor in person. I came here today to make an unwelcome request. I hope the general will agree."
"If you have something to say, say it. If you have to fart, fart it now."
"Mr. Li, I advise you not to fall into my hands, Zhu Ya. Otherwise, I, your second brother, will grind you into ashes and cut you into pieces." Without waiting for Zhu Li to respond, Zhu Ya, who was following Zhu Li, responded fiercely.
Master Li Fa had targeted Zhu Li several times, and it was impossible that the ghost guards in Heshuo had not found out any information at all. Knowing that the general in front of him had framed his elder brother several times, it was no wonder that Zhu Ya was so rude.
"Hmph, you are so arrogant. You just want to touch our General Li. Have you ever asked where is the Flame Phoenix Hammer in my hand, Li Kuangba?" Seeing Zhu Ya being so arrogant, Li Kuangba snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
Ever since Zhu Ya blasted away Ying Fa, who was at the peak of the Shi Ran Realm, with a single shot yesterday, and became a household name in front of the various vassal officials, Li Kuangba has been eyeing this second general of Heshuo.
Now that he saw the other party was so presumptuous, he couldn't hold back any longer.
"How can you interrupt my second brother?" When he saw Li Kuangba answering, Zhu Ya immediately got angry, "Don't think you are such a hero. You, Li Kuangba, are just a vicious dog who helps the tyrant to do evil."
"Who are you calling a dog?" Zhu Ya's rudeness immediately made Li Kuangba furious. He tightened the sledgehammer in his hand and had the urge to rush out.
"Okay, I'm discussing serious matters with General Huaihua. General Kuangba and Second General, could you two be quiet for a moment?" Seeing the two men confronting each other and about to start a fight, Master Li Fa hurriedly stopped them.
Upon hearing what Master Li said, although Li Kuangba was angry, he still snorted coldly and turned his head away, not even looking at Zhu Ya; he was afraid that if he looked at the other person again, he would not be able to control the impulse in his heart.
Zhu Li saw the change in Zhu Ya and was pleased. However, his violent temper did not change at all, which made Zhu Li feel helpless.
"Second brother, calm down. Let's listen to what General Li wants to say." While Master Li was trying to persuade Li Kuangba, Zhu Li also turned around to comfort Zhu Ya.
When his elder brother spoke, Zhu Ya naturally responded; he came from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and like those heroic souls identified by the Classic of Mountains and Seas, he had a natural respect and obedience for Zhu Li.
After pacifying Zhu Ya, Zhu Li turned his head and looked at Master Li, saying indifferently: "General Li, if you have any advice, I am all ears. However, if it is nonsense, please do not waste your words."
"Haha, nonsense." After hearing Zhu Li's words, Master Li had a playful look on his face. "My request may seem nonsense to the general, but I believe that the general will definitely agree to my request. Otherwise, hehe..."
Upon hearing the other party's ambiguous tone, Zhu Li's pupils suddenly contracted and a bad premonition suddenly surged into his heart.
"So, General Li has figured out me, Zhu, and will definitely agree to your request; if that's the case, then what kind of request is it?" Zhu Li narrowed his eyes, trying hard to think about what the other party relied on.
"Hahaha, can't you hear the polite words? The general is indeed from a grassroots background. He can't even hear this." Master Li deliberately sneered and despised Zhu Li's background.
However, before he could finish his words, he didn't wait for Zhu Ya beside Zhu Li to get angry again, and immediately pointed at the death formation and said clearly: "In your opinion, are those boys strong?"
The sudden change of topic made Zhu Li stunned, but he still followed the other party's words and said: "He is just a dying man, with a heart full of loyalty and bravery, but he gave it to the wrong master. It's really sad!"
The elite warriors of the Death Array,
Isn’t it just as Zhu Li said
There is no doubt that those people are real men, good men of iron, this has to be acknowledged.
However, they gave their passion and sincerity to their ruthless lord in the wrong place; when the result of the battle came out, it was also the time when they lost their lives, how sad it was.
Upon hearing this, Master Li's face turned slightly pale, and he continued to ask, "Then according to your opinion, are the generals in the battle fierce?"
"Just yesterday, only one general from the army killed the general's army. There were seven generals. The general will not deny it, right?"
The tragic deaths of the seven generals were obviously a permanent pain for the high-ranking officials of the vassal states who supported Prince Shou, and Li Fazhu just happened to poke at their pain points.
"Humph, they are just accomplices of the evil and help the tyrant to commit atrocities. Such people are even more pathetic." Zhu Li still looked disdainful and spoke sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Li Fazhu's face turned purple, and he said coldly: "General, you really have a good idea. It doesn't matter if they are accomplices of the tiger. As long as the people they are loyal to win the final victory, how to record their achievements is just a matter of a word, isn't it?"
"You know, history is always in the hands of the victors. The merits and demerits, the good and bad reputations, and the bad reputations that will be passed down through the ages will ultimately follow the will of the rulers, right?"
It has to be said that as a former hero, Li Fazhu's insights and views are indeed extraordinary, and are comparable to the views of later generations.
Thinking of this, Zhu Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly, history, how much filth have you buried, and how many crimes have you covered up.
Although Zhu Li was deeply moved by the other party's words, he still disagreed with the other party's point of view and said in a sonorous voice: "Perhaps, the recorded history will cover up countless filth and dirtiness as General Li said."
"But the direction of public opinion will never change. For a traitor who harmed countless Han people for his own selfish reasons, the public will naturally not be on his side."
"The people of the world may be deceived for a while, but people are feeling it while they are doing it. When they feel something is wrong and feel the pain, do you think they will continue to be deceived?"
These words undoubtedly left Master Li speechless; the net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it. It can deceive people for a while, but it cannot deceive people forever, because in this world, there is no wall that is always airtight.
Even if Zhu Li didn't say it, Master Li knew it very well; so he had no way to refute it.
However, it didn't matter that he couldn't win the argument with Zhu Li. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Since the general is so disdainful of the palace guards and generals in this formation, why don't you go and experience it yourself?"
"Teach me in person?"
Let Zhu Li go to the death array personally? Perhaps this is Master Li's purpose.
Zhu Li's heart sank when he heard this; of course, it was not that he didn't dare, but his intuition told him that he seemed to be caught in a conspiracy.
The other party asked him to enter the battle personally, and he had a very confident look on his face, so he must have something to rely on.
Zhu Li asked himself, throughout his life, he had acted without shame before the heavens or the earth, he respected his elders, loved the young, and lived up to his brothers, wife and friends. So, what else could the other party do to restrain him
At this moment, a piece of news he received last night suddenly jumped into his mind; his father was missing, and at the same time, Zhao Wu, one of the four commanders of the Ghost Guard, also disappeared. Could it be that his father fell into the hands of the enemy
When he thought of this, Zhu Li's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and the look he gave Master Li was filled with rage.
If looks could kill, Master Li would probably not even have a bone left, because all of it would be burned to ashes by the rage in Zhu Li's eyes.
"My Alang has fallen into your hands?!" Zhu Li stared at Master Li and said word by word with gritted teeth.
Looking at the furious Zhu Li, Master Li suddenly felt happy from the bottom of his heart. He laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, the general is famous all over the world and invincible. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it a lot more."
"Li didn't say a word, but the general guessed this result through the clues in the conversation. It's really extraordinary. Li admires him!"
"But why would a smart person like the general do such a stupid thing? Doesn't the general know that your existence has already blocked Li's path? So, don't blame Li for doing everything he could?"
"mean."
"Shameless." Master Li's words undoubtedly acknowledged Zhu Li's speculation; Zhu Ya and Li Gufeng immediately shouted in anger upon hearing this.
Zhu Li's face was indifferent, like an ice sculpture or stone statue. Ever since the other party admitted that his father fell into the other party's hands, Zhu Li's whole body suddenly became lifeless, without a trace of emotion.
He just said calmly: "So, Zhao Wu is your man?"
Upon hearing this, Master Li nodded happily and said calmly, "To be precise, he is one of ours."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Li frowned slightly.
At this point, it was no longer meaningful to continue hiding the truth, so Master Li readily explained the reason: "A few years ago, I accidentally saved a couple named Zhao, and Zhao Wu is their son."
"This child has been with Li since he was young, and has been taught and trained by him. Only when he reached adulthood did Li let him go out and explore the world."
"Coincidentally, he joined the general's army. Even more coincidentally, the general took a liking to him and kept cultivating and promoting him, and he was actually promoted to the position of commander."
"Before the spring search, Li had ordered him to 'invite' the general's parents to Chang'an as guests."
"But this guy actually has some feelings for you. He just invited your father over reluctantly. So, he should be our man, right?"
