Chapter 176 Speculation

Everyone in the Lieyan Sect listened to Xu Chu's various boasts while he was drinking, and Elder Xu responded from time to time.

The dust was flying, and the cavalry on the official road was so majestic and powerful that it shocked countless warriors and passers-by.

A large black and gold Chu-character flag floated over the cavalry.

Many merchants and passers-by were shocked and moved out of the way.

"It's a cavalry team from Prince Chu's Mansion!"

A warrior stood on the side of the road, looking at the orderly cavalry with a look of awe.

"I heard that the King of Chu was inspecting various mansions. Could it be that the person in the carriage was His Highness the King of Chu?"

In the merchant team, a well-informed businessman looked at the most luxurious carriage among the cavalry, his eyes flickering slightly.

"It should be. Look, isn't that Elder Xu of Lieyan Sect? I was lucky enough to meet him once. Even the county guard treated him politely, but now he showed a humble smile to a military commander."

The person next to him whispered.

"Hiss, this is the elder of Lieyan Sect, a big shot in Lingyun Mansion!" A fat businessman took a deep breath. In both Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion, a disciple of Lieyan Sect alone is the most powerful person in Lingyun Mansion. Let the domineering families in the city treat each other with courtesy, let alone someone of the elder level.

What kind of person is this person that even the elders of Lieyan Sect want to please?

These businessmen looked at the cavalry team with even more awe.

In one of the caravans of hundreds of people, a powerful master who was highly respected by ordinary people did not even look at the cavalry, for fear of attracting their attention.

He felt that there were several fatal threats in the cavalry, especially the drunken general in front. He looked at him lightly, and the hair on his body stood upright.

terrible!

"Is he really the King of Chu?" Some people's whispers quickly spread around.

"That's great. I heard that the King of Chu has always been kind and generous to the people. He patrols everywhere and is considerate of the people."

"Now His Highness has come to inspect our Linghai County."

"Of course, King Chu is famous for his benevolence and love for the people..."

When the passers-by heard that King Chu was coming, they all showed excitement.

They had heard various rumors about the King of Chu some time ago and how good he was to the people. In other places, since the Chu King's Palace took control, the people's lives have become better and better.

I haven’t seen the King of Chu, but the reputation of the King of Chu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, before Li Yuan came to Lingyun Mansion, the hearts of the people in Lingyun Mansion had already turned towards the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

As we got closer to Linghai County, there were more and more pedestrians and teams on the road. They looked curiously at the cavalry holding the banner with the word "Chu". The passers-by gave way to each other. After they passed by, the passers-by talked and looked at each other. Excited, the King of Chu they had been waiting for really came.

The cavalrymen listened to the praises of passers-by with expressionless faces. They had seen too many along the way.

The Lieyan Sect disciples around the carriage raised their heads high and looked intently. They were more accustomed to the awe-filled eyes of the people around them.

"Grandpa, how do you think His Highness will deal with the Yang family?"

In the carriage, Liu Yanxin looked at Liu Chenfeng who had his eyes closed to rest, and asked softly.

Liu Chenfeng had white hair and beard, and his eyes were slightly opened, with a hint of regret in his deep eyes.

"Yan Xin, Yang Zaitian already hates us to the core. We don't have to save him, and we can't reconcile. Our stance determines the direction we go. We have decided to be loyal to the King of Chu, and we will abide by the King of Chu's decision."

"Yes!" Liu Yanxin nodded. She was a smart woman. As Yang Zaitian was now the biggest hidden danger of Lieyan Sect, he naturally reported Yang Zaitian's situation to Li Yuan.

"General Xu, I don't know where His Highness the King of Chu is now. Can we hurry back to Lieyan Sect and wait for His Highness?"

Elder Xu looked ahead, and the tall and generous city of Linghai County was faintly visible. It was still early in the weather, and the team could completely cross Linghai County and continue to the Lieyan Sect.

Xu Chu was a little drunk, his face was red, he waved his hands and said casually:

"OK, no problem!"

Xu Chu drank a lot of wine, and the aroma of wine overflowed from his mouth. After reaching the Tianwu realm, these ordinary wines could no longer make him drunk, but he liked the taste and was immersed in it.

Boom!

In the direction of the cavalry team's advance, passers-by walking on the road came to the roadside one after another, and the road was unimpeded.

However, at this moment, there was a man standing in the middle of the extremely wide avenue in front of him. He was wearing a black robe and had a majestic and solemn face. He was watching the incoming cavalry calmly.

The sudden appearance of this person formed a sharp contrast with the passers-by retreating by the roadside, and he was immediately extremely conspicuous!

Many people looked at it with various expressions of shock, anxiety, and pity.

Who is this man? Facing the King of Chu's cavalry, he dares to stop in the middle?

Don't want to die?

Some people are shining brightly. Could it be that this person wants to take the initiative to seek refuge with the King of Chu, so he deliberately attracts the attention of the King of Chu?

What a good idea!

When some pretentious literati thought of this, they immediately showed expressions of eagerness to step out and stand together.

If they were really appreciated by King Chu, they would be able to soar into the sky!

But he was quickly stopped by the sober person next to him.

We both know each other's abilities well, and we don't want to take on the porcelain job without that diamond.

If you dare to intercept the cavalry, you will risk your life!

If others really have great abilities but you don’t, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for you to learn from others?

The cavalry lieutenant who was driving in the distance saw an imposing scholar standing in the middle of the avenue and frowned. Could it be that he was another talent who wanted to join His Highness.

The lieutenant was not allowed to think this way. Unless he was a fool, he would not be able to intercept them.

Intercepting them here obviously has an ulterior motive.

So the lieutenant galloped up his horse, sped up, broke away from the cavalry team, quickly came to Li Si, reined in his horse, stopped, and asked:

"Who are you and why are you standing still in the middle of the avenue?"

The lieutenant frowned and looked at Li Si, with a cold tone in his tone.

Li Si looked up at the lieutenant, with a resolute face and a trace of anger in his eyes, but no murderous intent.

Therefore, Li Si nodded with satisfaction, looked past the lieutenant, and looked at the cavalry arriving slowly. He understood the anger of the lieutenant. They were walking on the main road, but suddenly someone stood in the middle and blocked their path. Everyone would be angry. In a war, it would not be a pity to be killed directly.

"Who are you and why are you blocking us!"

Seeing this man's unusual aura, the deputy lieutenant looked at the cavalry team with a scrutinizing gaze, but never spoke. His heart condensed, and he pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand and asked for the second time.

"Your Highness has an order!"

Li Si didn't have any extra words to say. He took out the Chu King's token from his sleeve and stretched it out in front of the lieutenant.

The deputy lieutenant was shocked when he saw the Chu King's token in Li Si's hand, and he quickly dismounted and saluted.

"Deputy Lieutenant of the Cavalry Lian Chenghai pays homage to your lord!"

At the same time, the cavalry team behind them also rushed behind the two men.

When Elder Xu saw Lian Chenghai suddenly dismounting from his horse and saluting the person blocking his way, his face was shocked. He originally thought he was a bold man who wanted to join the King of Chu.

But when he saw Lian Chenghai dismounting from his horse and saluting, an idea suddenly occurred to him, could he be from the King of Chu?

The cavalry stopped in place, and several disciples of Lieyan Sect looked at each other.

The curtain of the carriage has been opened, and Liu Yanxin's beautiful eyes are looking at Li Si ahead with a hint of confusion. She is frantically searching for information about him in her mind, but finds nothing.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is another hidden talent?

Liu Yanxin's beautiful eyes flashed with light and she stared at Li Si closely.

"Lian Chenghai, what are you doing?" Xu Chu saw the cavalry stop, and Lian Chenghai actually saluted the interceptor and dismounted, and turned his eyes to Li Si. He had never seen it, not Xun Yu and Master Jia, so he rode closer drunkenly. Two people.

Without waiting for Lian Chenghai to respond, Li Si looked at Xu Chu's calm eyes with a cold expression.

"Are you Xu Chu?"

"It's me, what's wrong, who are you?" Xu Chu shook his head and looked at Li Si drunkenly.

"You should not be drunk while marching. As a general, you should set an example. Xu Chu violated the taboo on drinking in the army and should be banned from cultivation for thirty days and not drink for half a year!"

Li Si suddenly shouted coldly, his voice was like thunder, like the words of an ancient god, and there were inexplicable laws flowing!

Xu Chu woke up in an instant, and all the drunkenness in his body was cleared away in an instant!

Deputy Lieutenant Lian Chenghai suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Si in disbelief!

Elder Xu and the Lieyan Sect disciples looked at Li Si in front of them with their mouths open!

What did he just say?

Want to punish Xu Chu?

Who?

Where do you get so bold?

When Li Si finished his last words, an indescribable aura filled the void, and everyone around seemed to hear the groan of the iron chain in the void!

Liu Chenfeng inside the carriage suddenly opened his eyes, showing a look of shock!

In vain, the sky seemed to sink, and Elder Xu behind him showed a look of horror. He sensed an indescribable threat.

A solemn and solemn atmosphere flows in this sky.

Everyone in the Lieyan Sect felt that there was a shackles covering their bodies, and they did not dare to move.

However, the passers-by didn't seem to feel any sense of oppression. They just felt that the figure of the scholar in the middle of the avenue had become extremely tall, awe-inspiring, and solemn in their eyes!

These people suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts. They were recalling whether they had done anything wrong in the past, and they wanted to confess to this awe-inspiring figure.

"I confess, I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't steal!"

"I shouldn't steal someone with the second young lady next door!"

"I will never drink brown sugar water again!"

Suddenly, several people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly on the roadside. No one interrogated them. They muttered to themselves and loudly explained the crimes they had committed. The people next to them were shocked.

In an instant, a mysterious iron chain in the void instantly merged into Xu Chu's burly body.

Xu Chu's eyes opened, as if his whole body was shrouded in shackles. The true energy running in his body stopped, and a sense of weakness came. Although there were no chains on his body, Xu Chu clearly felt that he was "tied"!

All the terrifying essence in his body was locked up and could not be mobilized. Xu Chu suddenly looked at Li Si. Being beaten and banned was a small matter, but he couldn't drink alcohol for half a year. How could this be done?

But Xu Chu found that he seemed to have no interest in wine now.

"Who are you? You have the guts to let me go and challenge me to a duel!"

Xu Chu felt a little panicked in his heart.

call!

Liu Yanxin, Elder Xu, Lian Chenghai and others sensed that the frightening evil aura that had always existed in Xu Chu's body had disappeared, and he was now just like an ordinary person.

"My Excellency, Li Si, upon the order of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, takes over all affairs of Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion!"

Li Si looked past Xu Chu and towards Liu Chenfeng standing on the carriage frame.

For a rough-skinned person like Xu Chu, beating him would at most cause him a burst of physical pain. Only when he is truly scared will he obey the military regulations.

Everyone in the Lieyan Sect looked at Li Si, shocked in their hearts. Who is this person? King Chu actually asked him to take over the two mansions?

"Li Si?"

"You are that Li Si!"

Xu Chu, who had just shouted next to him, paused and looked at Li Si in disbelief.

He had been with the Prime Minister for many years and had heard a little bit about some ancient people.

"There should be no other person named Li Si in your impression!"

Li Si looked at Xu Chu lightly and said confidently.

He believes that everything he has done can make future generations remember his name, whether good or bad!

"Uh-huh!"

Everyone in the Lieyan Sect and the cavalrymen like Lian Chenghai were shocked to see that General Xu, who was fearless, was a little panicked.

Especially the members of the Lieyan Sect, they were indescribably shocked, and all of them were extremely afraid of Li Si.

"Master Li, I wonder if King Chu has any other instructions?"

When Liu Yan saw Li Si looking over, he jumped out of the carriage and came to Li Si.

"I hope Miss Liu and Lieyan Sect will help me control Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion."

"Three months. Li Si needs to fully assist His Highness in controlling all the counties and cities in the two provinces within these three months."

Li Si stared at Liu Yanxin and Liu Chenfeng and said firmly.

Liu Chenfeng and Liu Yanxin met Li Si's sharp eyes, and for a moment they were deeply impressed by Li Si.

It's hard to imagine that a person's eyes can give them such a feeling. Just seeing his eyes seems to be able to see the law through these eyes, a kind of compliance with the rules.

A solemn and convincing momentum made Liu Chenfeng nod unconsciously.

"This is natural. We should help Mr. Li."

"Then let's start from Linghai County!"

Li Si nodded slightly and turned to look at Linghai County not far away. He needed to know more about this world in order to assist His Highness as soon as possible.

"Can!"

Liu Chenfeng and Liu Yanxin nodded in unison.

"Set off!"

Li Si naturally obtained the command of the cavalry.

"Li Si, Master Li, as for me, I was wrong. Now that I didn't drink, can you please stop punishing me for not drinking?"

Xu Chu, who was imprisoned, saw that Li Si ignored him and said quickly.

Li Si glanced at the eyes of everyone looking over, looked at Xu Chu, and said coldly:

“His Highness once said that no matter who you are, no matter how serious or serious you are, you will be punished if you do something wrong.

You marched drunkenly in public, which is a taboo in the army.

If I indulge you this time, who should I indulge next time? How can we convince the public if we don’t abide by the laws we have enacted? "

Whether it was the Lieyan Sect or the passers-by, looking at Li Si's loud and serious words, they were faintly convinced.

The people were even more excited and even punished their own people for doing wrong things, which showed that the people in the Chu Palace were worthy of trust.
