Chapter 141 Original Sin

After dawn came, Master Feihong left under the morning glow.

Before leaving, she turned her face in front of Hongri, who had just emerged on the horizon, and asked Li Ye: "Do you have someone you like?"

Li Ye nodded in surprise.

Whether it is Princess Li Wu You who is in Huaguo Mountain or the eldest son Siming who once followed him to fight, they are the answers to this question.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ye saw that Master Feihong's shoulders were stiff for a while. Then she said something, then she flew away from the eaves, turning into a rainbow and disappearing into the vast sky where the red sun and the morning glow were connected.

What she said was: "Forgive me for being ignorant and don't know if there is someone in your heart."

Li Ye was silent.

He watched him there for a long time.

Until the back of Master Feihong can no longer be seen.

He suddenly felt lost, and a feeling of inexplicable worry in his heart could not be gone.

He felt as if he had missed something.

After a long time, he silently said in his heart: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, and there will be a period of time later."

After the monks in the Immortal Realm descended from the Kunlun Passage, it is very likely that they will never be able to go back. However, Master Feihong, as one of the four great Bodhisattvas of the Buddha Realm, has a high cultivation level and a respectful status, and cannot afford to lose it at all. If the Holy Buddha dares to let her go, he will naturally have a way to take her back.

The only difference is how much the Buddha Domain has to pay.

Thinking of this, Li Ye suddenly thought of a question. If the Immortal Court was willing to pay such a price and sent an immortal official with a strength that was almost the same as that of Master Feihong, wouldn’t he have to be killed?

The immortal court sent Chen Jizhen, Zhang Ji and He Jingcheng to come forward, but did not let such a powerful man go down to the world. Although he looked down on Li Ye, he believed that Li Ye was not worthy of their paying such a price. But after He Jingcheng was also defeated, would they make such a choice?

Even if the fairyland is in a battle, the powerful may not be able to escape, and at this time, the price to pay for putting down the powerful and taking it back may be so great that the immortal court is unwilling to bear it easily, but this possibility is still there.

And as the situation develops, this possibility will become greater and greater.

After all, we must first settle the country when fighting against foreign countries.

Li Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although the Taoist Nichen behind the White Deer Cave has been imprisoned in the Dongfu Palace for thousands of years, it has a considerable force in the Xianting Court. After thousands of years of hiding one's strength and maintaining a low profile, its power should have developed. Perhaps they can influence the arrangement of the Xianting Court in this matter.

But Li Ye doesn't want to put hope on others.

He withdrew his gaze, returned to the room, and began to make some necessary plans.

In addition, Li Ye did not dare to take it lightly against the Daibei War.

There is only one reason.

Li Cunxiao is still there.

He, a military general, is unmatched on the battlefield. When Li Xian had already traveled west, no one on Li Ye could punish him, and he himself could not do it.

Li Cunxiao only needs thousands of elite soldiers, and with his own strength, he can decide the outcome of the local battlefield, thereby affecting the overall situation of the war.

Li Ye wanted to attack Li Keyong directly to remove firewood from the cauldron. But if Li Keyong hid in the military camp, he would be inseparable from Li Cunxiao? As long as Li Cunxiao's military battle formation was opened, it would be difficult for Li Ye to do anything to him.

This battle will not be easy.

Of course, this is the worst case.

But no matter what, Li Ye decided to set off, and he had to give it a try.

......

Daizhou Governor's Office.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was particularly dull. Li Keyong was still in the main position, looking down at the group of officials and generals, but he lost the momentum of looking down on all directions in the past. Even though he still had the same face and sitting posture as before, he tried hard to recreate his former majesty.

But majesty can never be pretended.

Without the contour of power, how many people can have true majesty?

However, for Li Keyong, although his majesty is no longer the same as before, his cultivation pressure has never been reduced. Therefore, whether it is the generals such as Fu Cunshen who followed him to retreat to Daizhou, or the local officials of Daizhou, they can only lower their heads and dare not breathe.

Li Keyong was very angry.

Because he had already seen that everyone looked like this because of their fear of his strong cultivation, and they no longer had the admiration of him from the bottom of their hearts.

Some things are gone forever after all.

The human heart is the best mirror, and anyone can clearly see his own situation.

The governor of Daizhou trembled and said, "The King's Army... Since the bandit army captured Taiyuan City, the nearby prefectures and counties have surrendered. Shizhou, Lanzhou, and Xinzhou have all sent envoys to Taiyuan City to visit the thief leader Li Ye. It is reported that Li Ye has rectified his troops in Taiyuan City, and his vanguard has advanced to Daizhou. Li Ye also sent people to issue a large number of manifestos to criticize the crimes of the princes. Daizhou is now in panic... Fortunately, the four prefectures of Dai, Shuo, Yun and Wei still regard the princes as their respect..."

Li Keyong was even more angry and his breathing became heavier.

Because he found that when the Daizhou Governor reported these military information, he clearly showed a strong sense of awe.

Of course, awe is not to him, but to the government army and Li Ye!

He sat in front of the governor of Daizhou, Li Ye was still a hundred miles away, and the other party just mentioned Li Ye in his words, and the awe showed far greater than that of him!

How could Li Keyong not be angry?

Li Ke took a deep breath and barely pressed his anger. Now he can't do anything to the other party.

Fu Cunshen followed closely and made a comment. He made a generous statement: "Don't worry about the prince. We still have Dai, Shuo, Yun and Wei. We have not been defeated in all four states. We just need to gather our troops and recruit warriors, and we can still defend the city! We were defeated by the bandit army before, just underestimating the enemy. We followed the prince to fight south and north, and we have never seen any situation. As long as the top and the other side work together, the prince will be able to counterattack Taiyuan soon!"

Li Keyong nodded and looked at Fu Cunshentou with admiration.

Of course, his defeat in Taiyuan has nothing to do with underestimating the enemy, but now he needs these words to stabilize the hearts of Daizhou people.

After the discussion was over, everyone retreated, and Li Keyong left Fu Cunshen to continue discussing the major issues.

"I have sent Kang Jun to the grassland to borrow troops from the Tatar tribe. As long as the troops of the Tatar tribe arrive, I can launch a counterattack." Li Ke spoke with concise words and full of confidence. After saying that, he looked at Fu Cunshen with anticipation.

Fu Cunshen immediately held his fist: "The prince is wise. In this way, great things can be expected. At the end, the general requested to lead a group of troops to stop the vanguard army's vanguard, to slash his spirit, and boost the morale of the army!"

Li Keyong was very satisfied with Fu Cunshen's reaction. He had always been close to him and valued him, otherwise he would not be left alone at the moment. Since Fu Cunshen still had the intention to fight, it proved that his morale had not been lost and he still had a chance.

What is success or failure in a moment? Throughout history, many famous generals on the battlefield will encounter setbacks, but as long as they overcome challenges, they can always turn defeat into victory. Li Keyong thinks that the same is true for him.

Just like before, he was defeated by Datong and forced to escape into the Tatar tribe, but later he regained his power?

"The thief army is in full swing. There is no need to cause trouble at this time. What I am worried about now is another thing." Li Keyong suddenly said with deep meaning.

Fu Cunshen expressed his attention.

But Li Keyong did not say it clearly, but said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the Battle of Yizhou?"

When Li Ye attacked Yizhou, Liu Da was attacking Fenzhou. At that time, the war in Yizhou was unfavorable. Li Keyong sent Li Cunxiao over, but in the end, because of Li Ye's plan to dissuade Li Keyong recalled Li Cunxiao, causing Yizhou to be destroyed.

Fu Cunshen quickly understood what Li Keyong meant: "The prince said... Thirteenth Taibao?"

Li Keyong was very satisfied with Fu Cunshen's quick reaction. He nodded and his voice gradually became cold: "When Thirteenth Taibao was in Yizhou, he had a close relationship with Li Ye. The two not only met in front of the formation, but also praised each other, but also secretly sent private messages! Thirteenth Taibao, as a military general, Li Ye coveted him very much, and the conditions for surrender he offered were very generous..."

Speaking of this, Li Keyong didn't say much, but the meaning was already obvious.

Fu Cunshen pondered for a moment and said tentatively: "Thirteen Taibao... is indeed a variable."

"Of course it's a variable!" Li Keyong said immediately.

After the Battle of Yizhou, Li Keyong brought Li Cunxiao back to the battlefield at a critical moment in order to defend Taiyuan.

But both Li Keyong and Fu Cunshen understood that Li Keyong had previously solved Li Cunxiao's military power and left him idle at home, and there was nothing wrong with this matter!

Of course Li Keyong can't be wrong!

He himself would not think that he had done something wrong. If he felt this way, then the responsibility would be to him for the loss of Yizhou and the collapse of the war in Hedong?

During the war, he was suspicious of the general. If this matter spreads, wouldn’t the generals be disheartened? Who else would follow him to die?

Fu Cunshen would not think that Li Ke was wrong. If he felt this way, wouldn’t he criticize the lord? Then wouldn’t he be dissatisfied with the lord? Do you also want to defect to Li Ye?

If he had his status in normal times, he could think that Li Cunxiao would not surrender to Li Ye, and he could also advise Li Keyong. But when is this? How dare he not have the same idea or the same mind as Li Keyong?

So Li Keyong is right.

Then the only person who is wrong is Li Cunxiao.

So Li Cunxiao really colluded with Li Ye!

As for the Battle of Taiyuan City, it was also Li Ke who was broad-minded and gave Li Cunxiao the opportunity to lose his merits.

It’s a pity that Li Cunxiao did not seize this opportunity.

Li Keyong said: "When the battle in Taiyuan City was the most intense, Li Cunxiao actually bowed to the enemy generals in front of the soldiers on the front of the city, shouting 'King An'! What did he want to do? If he said he had no friendship with the other party and had no intention of surrendering to Li Ye, how could this be the case? Li Ye was not on the battlefield at that time, but he said 'Watching King An'. Isn't this a secret code of surrender?"

Li Cunshen looked like he suddenly realized: "It seems that the defeat in Taiyuan City that day was because the Thirteen Taishang colluded with thieves and did not provide any effort in the defense, which made the battle collapse and the city fell!"

Li Keyun was angry and said, "This guy always regarded himself as a loyal and righteous minister, saying that he was willing to die for the sake of Hedong's great cause. Unexpectedly, he did this in the end, and he really ignored my trust in him! This is because I didn't pay attention to the use of people, so I ended up like this!"

As he said that, tears fell in Li Keyong's eyes and cried bitterly, as if he was heartbroken and extremely upset by Li Cunxiao.

The Lord was humiliated and died. Li Keyong looked like this, which made Fu Cunshen furious immediately and stood up in anger: "Don't worry, Prince, don't worry, and then kill Li Cunxiao, the dog thief, and bring his head to see him!"

Li Keyong grabbed Fu Cunshen and pretended to say, "General! The Thirteenth Taibao has made great achievements in military affairs. Even if he was deceived by the thieves this time, I would not bear to kill him like this... Besides, I have no direct evidence of him colluding with the thieves..."

He showed that he was very kind to his subordinates.

"Prince, what other evidence does he need? If he is truly loyal and righteous, the city will be broken that day, he should have died in the battle! If he is not dead, it means everything!"

Fu Cunshen had already rushed to his forehead with blood, and he looked completely furious. "The prince is kind and righteous, loves soldiers like his sons, and caring about his subordinates. Who do not know? Because of this, we are willing to die for the king! But Li Cunxiao, this guy, is heartless. If he does not kill him this time, the soldiers will not accept it and the morale of the army will be dissipated!"

Li Keyong was speechless, as if he was in a daze: "He did not die in battle, this, he did not die in battle..."

"That's it! He was not killed in battle, which is already ironclad evidence!" Fu Cunshen said in a cold voice, "After the defeat of Taiyuan, he was still with the prince. He must have been planning a bad plan. Maybe he would have to wait for the thief army to attack in large numbers, which would be unfavorable to the prince... This guy has a great plan, so the prince must observe it!"

On that day, Li Cunxiao fought bloody battles on the top of the city. The warriors' territory was broken and eventually lost to the end. He was covered in wounds and could only be defeated and returned to the city.

Who would have expected that the brave general did not die in the city, but became his greatest original sin and the greatest evidence of his surrender to the enemy.

Li Keyong stopped crying and sighed: "For the sake of the soldiers of the three armies, I... can only be sorry to Thirteen Taibao!"

After saying that, Li Keyong stood up, his face had recovered from his iron blood, "Send an order to let Li Cunxiao come to see him!"

When Li Keyong ordered, a sneer flashed across Fu Cunshen's mouth.

Li Cunxiao had already made great achievements in combat, and even the other Taibaos in the army were unable to match. Now he has become a military general, and you can imagine how bright it will be in the future.

If he doesn't die, wouldn't all his military achievements be his? How could Fu Cunshen and others have a chance to stand out?
