Chapter 151: Sword Tower and Juggernaut(1/2)

When it comes to Jiange, Liu Mingge is very familiar with it. When he was a child, he traveled with his master for a long time.

Li Xiaofei knew that Liu Mingge had his own way, so he stopped asking any more questions.

After Li Xiaofei and Chen Kuan distributed rewards and special products to the soldiers, Chen Kuan led 8,000 people back east, along with 5,000 loads of goods.

The soldiers were very happy when they learned that they could get 10% of the profit for each load of goods shipped to their destination.

Of the 30% agreed upon earlier, 10% will be handed over to the court, and the remaining 100 percent will go to Chen Kuan and the generals of each battalion. This is a rare fair distribution. In other armies, 90% of the 30% may be lost.

After returning to the general, the rest can fall into the hands of the soldiers.

Liu Mingge had long wanted to see Jinguan Pavilion, and this time he finally got his wish.

Liu Mingge did not take Li Xiaofei with him, but took the veteran who stayed behind, Hu Gansheng.

Hu Gansheng talked about Jiguan Pavilion countless times. This time he actually came to Jinguan Pavilion, and his eyes were wide open. Not to mention the seven beautiful shopkeepers who were stunningly beautiful, all the clerks in Jinguan Pavilion were also handsome.

The girls are also pretty.

Then there are the tea and dishes at Jinguan Pavilion, which Hu Gansheng has never seen in his life.

Hu Gansheng burst into tears and thanked Liu Mingge repeatedly: 'Thank you, Prime Minister Liu, I don't know what kind of virtue my ancestors have accumulated, but I can eat this delicacy with the Prime Minister!'

Liu Mingge waved his hand: "Don't cry, I'm just fulfilling a wish! You can eat whatever you want today, and just scream for whatever you want to drink. Don't be restrained!"

As he spoke, Liu Mingge served Hu Gansheng some vegetables, and Hu Gansheng quickly took the bowl with both hands.

When Yu Ziyuan saw Liu Mingge coming, he quickly came over to say hello: "Prime Minister Liu, you are so approachable. You didn't even send someone to notify you before you came! I can cook the fish for you myself!"

"Haha, that's all. I think your Jinguan Pavilion needs to be reorganized. This Jinguan Pavilion needs to be transformed into twin towers."

"It's big enough now, with three floors and a wine cellar below." Yu Ziyuan felt that Liu Mingge's idea was a bit ahead of its time.

"You are wrong. As long as I have been here, the business here will be several times better! You go get the pen and ink, and I will write the inscriptions for you!"

Yu Ziyuan understood at this time, so he went to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone to serve him.

Liu Mingge first re-inscribed a plaque and then wrote seven acrostic poems with their names on the wall.

As soon as the poem was finished, the guests all came over and said, "Wonderful! Good! The Prime Minister wrote the poem himself! He is the Prime Minister, let's meet him quickly!"

When everyone turned around again, Liu Mingge had quietly left without knowing when.

Liu Mingge spent ten days in Jinguan Pavilion, teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and inscribing and painting.

Li Xiaofei finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to personally invite Liu Mingge and everyone in Jinguan Pavilion to discuss how to deal with the Jiange Pavilion problem.

"There is no news from Jiange so far, isn't Prime Minister Liu anxious?" Li Xiaofei got straight to the point and was prepared to be scolded.

"Once the sword pavilion falls into the hands of Zhu Yaoshi or the Mobei people, our country in Shu will be unsafe! This is what you are worried about," Liu Mingge responded lightly.

Seeing that Liu Mingge didn't refute, Li Xiaofei continued, "The guard of Jiange has not made a public statement until now, but sticks to it. It seems that he is for sale! In my opinion, we must stabilize him first, but now

We can't keep people! So soldiers need to be quick, we must take down Jiange as quickly as possible."

"Your opinion is good, and the general direction is very right. But I also want to hear other people's opinions." Liu Mingge looked at Yu Ziyuan and the others.

"In this land of Bashu, Shu has always been in chaos before the world was in chaos. After the world was ruled, Shu was ruled. It was really a headache for all dynasties! In fact, Prime Minister Liu must have a way to take down Jiange, and all of Shu can be stabilized, but you will eventually

If you want to leave, no one can guarantee whether Shu will continue to fall into war in the future." Yu Ziyuan first put forward his own opinion

"Well, I am worthy of someone who has been a queen for a few days. This kind of knowledge is something that ordinary civil servants and generals would never have. This problem can only be solved by the garrison method used by those aristocratic families in the previous dynasty. But in this way, there is

If foreign enemies invade, they will not have enough strength to resist. In terms of governing a country, there is never a perfect design and system, and you can't have your cake and eat it too!" Liu Mingge was indeed very knowledgeable and impressed everyone.

"In my opinion, it's better not to have to strengthen the garrison. Even if there is another uprising in Bashu, our own family will fight anyway, which is better than being enslaved by foreigners!" Li Xiaofei took a sip of the tongue and said it.

My own opinion

"You have made great progress, but the world's affairs are not something that our generation or two can figure out and solve. Many things can only be left to future generations. The reason why this place is divided is because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and many places are dangerous.

A majestic pass will choke the throat, so the conditions for supporting troops and self-reliance are very convenient. If one day in the future the world is connected in all directions, and the water and land routes in Sichuan are all criss-crossing, it will be difficult to separate the kingdom."

"Is Prime Minister Liu planning to take the guard's life and seize the sword pavilion alone?"

"No, I'm waiting for someone to come"

"Who is more important than seizing the sword pavilion?"

"Sword Saint Ye Yunong! Counting the days, he should send someone here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report from outside the door: "Jiange Ye Xiaobei wants to see Prime Minister Liu and Marshal Li!"

Ye Xiaobei, who came in, was only sixteen years old. He knew the rules and took off his sword and handed it to the guard.

Ye Xiaobei, with clear eyebrows and slender figure, raised his fists and faced Liu Mingge in a loud voice: "I, Ye Xiaobei, a close disciple of Sword Saint Ye Yunong, pay my respects to Prime Minister Liu and Marshal Li!"

"Forgive me, how are you doing, Senior Brother Yunong?" Liu Mingge asked.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Liu, Master, everything is well with Master. When I heard that Master was here, he asked me to pay homage to Master and invite Master to the Jianlou to have tea and stargazing!"

Li Xiaofei was a little confused. How many identities did Liu Mingge have? He was actually the younger brother of the Sword Master. No wonder his swordsmanship had almost reached the level of a ghost, and his moves were extremely vicious.

Liu Mingge pointed at Li Xiaofei: "I have to take someone with me. This is Marshal Zhengxi, the Imperial Tutor. He is not qualified to go to the Sword Tower. I, Liu Mingge, want him to gain knowledge." After saying this, he took out a book from his arms.

hand dagger

To Ye Xiaobei

"Uncle, according to Master, this is the Willow Leaf Sword that you made together thirty years ago. I would like to thank Uncle in advance!" Ye Xiaobei took the Willow Leaf Sword with both hands.

Li Xiaofei was a little suspicious. Ye Xiaobei was only sixteen years old and had never met Liu Mingge. It was really strange that the two of them knew each other so well.

Liu Mingge raised his hand: "Xiao Bei, sit down first, let's have a cup of tea and then set off. By the way, your Shu painters are not very good at painting, and your portraits are a bit old-fashioned."

"Uncle, forgive me, the scholars in Shu are naturally not as good as Jinling. The portraits of uncle and Marshal Li that were sent back from Jinling are exactly the same as the two of them. When Xiaobei returns, he will definitely ask his master to make more copies!

"

Li Xiaofei and Yu Ziyuan were dumbfounded when they heard this: "Portraits? People in Jianlou already have our portraits?"

Liu Mingge rolled his eyes at him: "Don't be so panicked. From the county magistrate to the emperor, everyone in the world has mastered the portraits and background sword towers. This is nothing!"

Ye Xiaobei cupped his fists and saluted Yu Ziyuan and the others again: "Everyone in the Jianlou admires your sisters' names very much!"

At this time, Li Xiaofei, Yu Ziyuan and some officials present tried their best to control their panic.

There is actually a place like this in this world that holds all their information.

Liu Mingge took a sip of tea: "Don't panic, everyone. This information is not collected to threaten you. Jianlou has always followed the times and will not go against it, let alone interfere in the world's disputes!"

Li Xiaofei thought to himself that Liu Mingge, as a member of Jianlou, had already become the prime minister, so why did he still claim that Jianlou did not participate in the world's disputes? This was too shameless.

Ye Xiaobei held up the tea cup with both hands and signaled to everyone: "Although my master is a sword master, he has not come down from the Broken Sword Cliff for thirty years. Master Liu has already been killed by the sword for killing the Ouchi guard twenty years ago.

The building has been removed”

Having said this, Li Xiaofei finally understood that Liu Mingge was no longer worried about Jiange. With an organization like Jianlou there, as long as the people of Jianlou were dealt with, Jiange didn't have to send a single soldier there.

After the tea was finished and the questions were almost finished, Liu Mingge got up and pulled Li Xiaofei to follow Ye Xiaobei to the sword tower.

Li Xiaofei asked Yu Ziyuan and the others to assist Zhang Erhe, the newly appointed governor of Chengdu, to guard Chengdu. Li Xiaofei took off his imperial gold medal and gave it to Yu Ziyuan to restrain Zhang Erhe.

Along the way, Li Xiaofei asked Liu Mingge carefully, and Liu Mingge told him many things from the past.

Li Xiaofei sighed: "A life like Mr. Liu's is called life! I used to admire my master, General Chen, and now I have Mr. Liu!"

"You are wrong, you don't have to worship any of us. You are yourself, be a real person, and there is only one you in this world. Why should you be in the shadow of other people? A real man only wants to have a clear conscience in this world and be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. Is there any

Knowledge is not important, and not knowing martial arts is not important either."

Li Xiaofei had actually had the idea of ​​asking Liu Mingge to teach him martial arts, but after hearing what Liu Mingge said, he knew there was no chance. In his opinion, this was just an excuse for Liu Mingge not to teach him.

Ye Xiaobei walked in front and led the way. After hearing the conversation between the two, he also added a few words: "Does Marshal Li really want to learn martial arts? There are many martial arts secrets in the woodshed of Jianlou. When you go, I will load them for you."

A basket on your back!"

These words made Li Xiaofei amused: "Xiao Bei, please don't fool me. There are really so many martial arts secrets, who wouldn't keep them as treasures and throw them away in the woodshed?"

"What you can't do, others can't do. People who stay in the sword tower have long disdained this ordinary martial arts secret book. Isn't meditating and cultivating every day and seeking the art of immortality more important than practicing martial arts?" Liu Mingge

He taught Li Xiaofei a lesson again

Li Xiaofei could only giggle for a while: "Okay, okay, Mr. Liu's lesson is very good, I can just be an ordinary person with peace of mind."

"Master Li is really humorous. He is a very popular minister at a young age. How can he be an ordinary person?" Ye Xiaobei still envied Li Xiaofei.

The three of them rode horses and walked slowly for ten days before arriving at Jianmen Pass.

After Ye Xiaobei took out his token, the Jianmen Pass defenders let the three of them go.

When entering the pass, Li Xiaofei carefully looked at the Jianmen Pass. It was really a place where one man could not open it. The cliffs on both sides were towering, and the front and back roads were narrow, making it impossible for any siege equipment to be used.

"Sure enough, the world is at a critical juncture! As long as there is enough food and grass, I can stay there for three to five years without any pressure!" Li Xiaofei couldn't help but sigh.

"What will happen after three to five years? It won't help matters! So no one has ever stood firm at Jianmen Pass!" Liu Mingge seemed to have a different feeling for Jianmen Pass.

"Uncle, we're almost there. You and Mr. Li, don't be distracted! Follow the old rules!" Ye Xiaobei reminded the two of them.

After the three people passed the border, they walked up the steps on the cliff to the end. Li Xiaofei looked at it and said, "There is no road here anymore? Are we going to jump down?"

Liu Mingge pointed towards his head and saw three large bamboo baskets lowered above his head, which had almost landed in front of them.

"Li Xiaofei, after entering the bamboo basket, close your eyes and hold it firmly with both hands. If you accidentally flip it out, your two wives will remarry!"
