In the Blade
Chapter 605: Withering and Prospering
Mr. Li, or Carpenter Li, has not yet realized what the bizarre "dream" last night meant.
But within a few days, news from outside made him realize that there seemed to be something wrong with that dream.
"So, what happened?"
Carpenter Li was stunned for a moment when he heard the news brought back by his son who came in a hurry.
"What happened? Why, why are all those people above the court dead?"
"I, I don't know either..."
Carpenter Li's son, the young man named on the gold list, also looked dumbfounded.
Obviously, this news is a bit too shocking from any angle.
The incident happened two days ago. It was a cold morning. The dignitaries in the court were still conducting routine court meetings. Just like those court meetings in the past, this time it should be the same as in the past. It should always be calm.
But only this time, the chief minister of the dynasty was infected with evil for some unknown reason.
The people around them didn't even have time to react, they were already suppressed to death by the pen and ink, and when they finally thought of fighting back, five huge monsters had already shattered the entire hall - yes, It wasn't just the chief minister who was affected by the evil, at least twelve court officials went crazy during that court meeting. The power these big shots unleashed was extremely terrifying, and the entire palace was almost razed to the ground. The emperor on the chair was crushed into pulp in an instant.
Although the chaos was barely calmed down by the help of the royal family, anyone with eyes could see that this sudden chaos had already severely damaged Dalu's vitality.
"This, this, this, this..."
Carpenter Li sat down on the ground. His brain had not had time to digest such a huge amount of information. In just a few days... no, it could even be said that in just one morning, all those big shots were dead, all dead. Such nonsense...
This kind of nonsense actually happened?
"Quick! Collect food first!"
This was Carpenter Li's first reaction.
Yes, although Carpenter Li has not yet reacted to what this matter is about, his long-term management has allowed him to keenly capture the key points - with such a big thing happening in the court, chaos will inevitably come. If they don't collect food quickly before everyone reacts, I'm afraid their family will starve to death!
But that's all he could think of.
If his brother was still there, he would definitely be thinking of more than this. After all, although his brother is not responsible for external affairs, he has always been a radical character. If his brother knew about this, the young man might slap his thigh. They said that this was not a disaster at all, but a great good thing. They would even make a series of plans on the spot so that they could seize the opportunity from the fire and establish a greater victory in this chaos...
"……etc?"
Carpenter Li suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
What a great thing...
What a great thing...
"After drinking this drink, everything will be fine. Do you believe it?"
The familiar but somewhat unfamiliar voice once again came to his mind.
This made Carpenter Li a little confused.
"Can it be said, can it be said that..."
Carpenter Li stared blankly at the sky outside the door.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
"Is this... really a good thing?"
Carpenter Li stood stunned for a long time, speechless for a long time.
But the facts have proven that this seems to be a good thing. At least Li Carpenter's own prompt decision has allowed him to receive a batch of food in advance at the most critical moment - and after having the food, in order to ensure safety, Li Carpenter also Naturally, a group of private soldiers were gathered.
And coincidentally, the Li family makes repeating crossbows themselves, and there is no shortage of weapons to arm these private soldiers. As for repeating crossbows, unless they encounter those who are really strong, most of the time they are still useless. Able to sweep everything.
So the question is, does a truly strong person have time to take care of him?
The answer is no. After all, the top expert died in an imperial palace in one breath. The rest of the experts will naturally have other thoughts - for example, in Yangzhou City, the few great scholars in the past who could not even be reached by the Li family, After this incident happened, he took the initiative to send a friendly greeting card to the Li family.
Carpenter Li had no idea what was going on. After all, even if he had some armor in his hands, he would not be able to face these truly powerful men.
But now, these powerful men who were once unattainable suddenly took the initiative to show their kindness to him.
This is simply incredible.
"You, what on earth...why?"
During a banquet with all the great scholars, Li Carpenter still asked the doubts in his heart.
"I have a bad reputation, a bad reputation, and I'm still white. Even if I have some weapons, I'm not worthy of you..."
"Bad reputation? Bad reputation?"
The great scholars were stunned when they heard this.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Looking at the whole world now, who doesn't know that you have endured humiliation, endured hardships, and endured hardships for many years just to get this fatal blow? Although I don't know how you did it, but you This hand is really..."
"Wait a minute? What are you talking about?"
Carpenter Li's mind was already in chaos.
After listening to the stories of the great scholars, Carpenter Li finally realized what they were talking about. It turned out that many people thought that he was the one who did the tragedy in the palace. Some people even said that they saw him take three brocade bags from the man surnamed Du when his good brother died tragically. Now, just one brocade bag was opened and a lot of people died in the palace.
"It must be him! The Li family definitely did it!"
Even passers-by in Yangzhou City said so confidently.
"If it wasn't him, why did he have to start a rebellion at this time?"
"I, no, I..."
Faced with the great scholar who told the whole story, Carpenter Li was choked and speechless for a long time.
He just had too much grain stored at home and wanted to recruit some people to look after the house and protect the courtyard. Why did he start a rebellion? With just his guards... well, with just his guards, his fighting power is not bad. After all, the crossbow is a secret weapon, which means it is not very useful when dealing with real strong men, but if it is a battle between two armies...
"... Uh."
Carpenter Li slapped his head on the spot.
It seems... indeed.
From this point of view, he can really be considered to have started a rebellion.
"No, I, this, I..."
Carpenter Li wanted to explain this matter clearly. After all, he really didn't think about starting a rebellion. After all, even if he had this so-called crossbow, once a real master came to encircle him, he would definitely not have any chance of winning.
Just like now, the great scholar flying in the air not far away has the ability to fly. If he falls, how can he, with just his crossbowmen, stop him...
"Zhang Deyan greets the lord!"
That is, when Carpenter Li was ready and was killed by the other party on the spot, the figure falling in the air bowed to him.
This also made Carpenter Li more confused.
"No, what lord..."
Carpenter Li at this moment can only ask questions.
"What is going on, why..."
"Lord!"
The master who called himself Zhang Deyan bowed to Carpenter Li.
"You support our evil spirit faction, so you must be our lord!"
"No, who did I support?"
Carpenter Li was completely confused. What was the matter with supporting the evil spirit faction? When did he support such a thing?
However, as Zhang Deyan continued to talk, Carpenter Li still understood the whole story - yes, although the evil spirit is declining in the current Dalu Dynasty, people are still more likely to master the power of the heart through reading, but this does not mean that those users of evil spirits do not exist.
In fact, many military generals in the army use evil spirits. After all, although evil spirits are dangerous, they are really convenient for war.
It's just that the power of evil spirit has been consciously suppressed by those great scholars, and even the output of evil spirit users has been deliberately controlled.
But now...
"Great! Really great! My Lord! With your skill, those sour scholars will never dare to say that our evil spirit is just a small path... What can their so-called great path do? In the end, didn't everyone in the house die?"
Zhang Deyan said this, his face full of excitement.
It turned out that it was because of that incident, that is, the sudden involvement of those big figures in the court with evil spirits. When everyone thought it was his doing, all the troubles came out - just like now, he has not even had time to do anything, but he has become the leader of the evil spirit alliance, and also the number one rebel leader in the entire Dalu Dynasty.
"Hey, no..."
Carpenter Li was already sweating a little, he was afraid that a word would fly out and kill him on the spot.
But the imagined killing did not come after all.
The threat of death did not come, but the people who followed him were the first to arrive. Some of them were dissatisfied with the former Lu Dynasty army, some had been dormant for a long time and were ready to try their skills, and some were just pure fun people. They just thought that something big was going on here, so they came to join in the fun. As for how far this thing could be done, he didn't care.
It was natural that it didn't matter to the masters, after all, the masters were indeed qualified and had enough leisure time.
But when it came to Li Mujiang himself...
"You really made me suffer!"
A month later, Li Mujiang, or the emperor of the dynasty, smiled bitterly and took the imperial robe handed over by his subordinates.
If it was possible, Li Mujiang didn't want to take the imperial robe, but at the moment, this matter was no longer up to him - just because the number of people following him was too large, and they all wanted Li Mujiang to really sit in that position and then give them the industry they wanted.
Faced with such a large number of people, even if Carpenter Li had many excuses in his mind, he couldn't say it out loud.
Moreover, even Carpenter Li himself was still a little dazed.
Everything was too smooth, so smooth that it was even a little unreal. He didn't even encounter any decent resistance while leading his troops northward. In addition, Yangzhou was not far from the capital of Dalu. He almost became the emperor directly after going out for a trip.
"Your Majesty, please don't refuse."
The subordinates once again advised.
"The world has suffered from this evil Lu for a long time! Please, Your Majesty, cleanse the world and return a bright and clear world to the world!"
"Ah...ah..."
At this moment, Carpenter Li could only nod mechanically, and even forgot to say the words of humility.
Just because, at this time, he seemed to see a familiar figure.
Across the crowd, the familiar figure was a little blurry, which made him not dare to confirm it, but the feeling coming from the other party was so familiar-yes, it couldn't be more familiar, after all, they had known each other for so long, after all, they were as close as brothers.
But his brother was obviously dead, and he had already...
Could it be that the wine he drank that night was not an illusion?
"Wait a minute!"
Carpenter Li quickly stretched out his hand to the distance.
"Wait a minute! I..."
However, the figure in the distance had no intention of stopping at all, just waved to Carpenter Li, and left on his own.
This also made Carpenter Li a little melancholy.
Even though he was wearing the imperial robe, he was still a lonely man.
"Not bad, be content."
In the distance of the crowd, Du Chengfeng, who had already jumped onto the treetops, shook his head.
It was already very good to be able to do this. Since this Carpenter Li from another world was so loyal, what he could give was this grand revenge, plus a lifetime of wealth and honor - as for what this Carpenter Li wanted, he really couldn't give it.
After all, he was not Du Chengfeng in this world.
Du Chengfeng in this world was indeed dead, and all he could do was to avenge another self.
"But this kind of thing... is also a good thing."
After thinking about it, Du Chengfeng went back to find Wu Zhao.
Since the self in this world was dead, he was ready to return to the original world - or in other words, they should go to a new world to find the self in other worlds.
But before that, he still wanted to go back to Wangyou Township and have a drink with the carpenter Li he knew, just to reminisce about the past.
But just as Du Chengfeng went back with Wu Zhao, he got a surprising news.
The carpenter Li, who he knew well, and the entire Wangyou Township had been taken away by Wenquxingjun.
