As everyone prostrated, a middle-aged man wearing silver armor with gray hair on his temples stepped onto the high platform.

Strong!

He is not generally strong, he is 1.9 meters tall, and his body shape is almost the same as that of Li Song, who weighs nearly 200 kilograms.

With a cold and solemn face and sinister eyes, you can tell from the first glance that he is not an easy person...

Li Chengzhi’s hair stands on end.

Why did Xi Kangsheng suddenly appear?

What about Li Song and Li Liang?

Have you been blocked halfway?

Suspicious in his heart, Li Chengzhi's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Yun glared at him fiercely, as if to say: Why are you panicking?

As everyone prostrated, Li Yun turned her head, showing a look of surprise, and clasped her fists at Xi Kangsheng: "Lord Guard!"

Xi Kangsheng hummed softly, took a deep look at Li Yun, and then moved his gaze downward.

Li Chengzhi seemed to be stunned. He neither knelt down nor saluted, but couldn't move when he poked him.

After several breaths, he suddenly stood up and raised his hands towards Xi Kangsheng.

When Li Chengzhi was frightened and confused, the generals were even more scornful: What is your identity, and what is Xi Zhenshou's identity?

Even though the grandfathers are all kneeling obediently, how could you, a boy with a yellow mouth and a white body, imitate Governor Li and just bow?

I really don’t know whether to live or die...

Everyone was doubting themselves, thinking that Xi Kangsheng didn't know how to punish Li Chengzhi when he saw him being so aggressive and rude.

Unexpectedly, Xi Kangsheng just called out in a deep voice: "Li Chengzhi?"

If it had been a moment ago, even if there was gray on Li Chengzhi's face and his hair had been burned and curled, Xi Kangsheng would not have been unable to recognize him.

Because Li Chengzhi is the youngest and has the most outstanding appearance. Standing in the crowd, he stands out from the crowd...

But at this moment... Li Chengzhi's face was covered with blood, and his eyes were as swollen as peaches. No matter how hard he tried, he could only open a slit half the width of his little finger. Only when Xi Kangsheng could recognize him did he see him.

Ghost...

Li Chengzhi responded respectfully: "Grass people..."

He originally wanted to say "The grassroots are here", but before he could even say "he", he was interrupted by Xi Kangsheng waving his hand.

"Grass people? Hahaha..." Xi Kangsheng smiled coldly, "Didn't Hu Shichang have awarded you the seventh rank of Xiaoguan Commandery? What kind of 'grass people' are you? You should call yourself a 'lower official'...

”

As if struck by lightning, Li Chengzhi's scalp felt numb. After just one or two breaths, cold sweat broke out on his back...

How many people know about the fact that Hu Shichang was awarded the title of Captain Xiaoguan?

Li Rui, Hu Baozong...well, at most one more Li Yun...

He didn't even have time to tell Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Shu, how did Xi Kangsheng know?

What's even more frightening is, what else does he know?

Li Chengzhi used all his strength to suppress the panic in his heart, and even controlled his eyes not to glance at Li Yun...

You just hinted to me not to panic, but the question is, how do you want me not to panic?

Li Yun yelled angrily: "Idiot, the guard asked you to call yourself a lower official, so you just call yourself a lower official. What are you doing in a daze?"

Li Chengzhi was suddenly stunned.

What does Li Yun mean?

It means that Xi Kangsheng will not care about such a small thing with you...

And this tone, the more you listen to it, the more it sounds like the tone of being close to an elder and scolding a younger generation?

Could it be that Li Yun never wanted to conceal the relationship between the Li family in his ancestral home and the Li family in Longxi...

Well, no...

Who is Xi Kangsheng?

One of the Eight Great Lords of Xianbei, the pillar of the Yuan and Wei dynasties, Xi Kangsheng was already the most trusted minister of the Tuoba royal family when his great-grandmother, Empress Dowager Feng, was in charge.

With so much trust from the Yuan and Wei dynasties, how could Xi Kangsheng not know why Li Qi and Li Shiliang were summoned to Luoyang and effectively placed under house arrest?

"Yes...yes...the lower official is Li Chengzhi..."

Li Chengzhi responded casually, thoughts racing in his mind: No wonder Xi Kang was born so suddenly?

It seemed that they had already suspected that Li Yun was up to something for personal gain, so they chased after her. But why is Li Yun so calm?

Li Chengzhi was suspicious and thought about what Xi Kangsheng would do with him, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response?

He subconsciously looked up and found that Xi Kangsheng ignored him at all, staring at Yang Shu and Zhang Jingzhi and sneered: "You didn't even expect that, right?"

More than I didn’t expect...

Zhang Jingzhi is a little better. Although he is surprised, he has guessed some of Li Chengzhi's arrangements:

He was secretly communicating with Li Yun about music under his nose, flirting with each other. He didn't even figure out how the two people hooked up. Li Chengzhi went behind his back and asked Hu Shichang for a letter below the seventh grade.

How difficult is it to issue an official decree?

Yang Shu was shocked and angry.

What is the difference between Li Chengzhi’s move and betrayal?

What a treacherous boy?

If Xi Kangsheng hadn't been there, he would have pounced on Li Chengzhi, grabbed him, and asked him...

Li Chengzhi lowered his head with a guilty conscience and secretly argued: Isn't this just to deal with Li Yun?

Besides, I haven’t recognized it yet...

"Hehehe...hehehe..." Looking at the expressions of these three people, Xi Kangsheng felt even more interesting.

Especially this Li Chengzhi: treacherous and slippery, playing both sides, cheating, deceiving gods and ghosts, being duplicitous and duplicitous...

Yang Shu defended him in every possible way, and even dared to fight Li Yun for him. Zhang Jingzhi even promised his nieces to him, but when it was time for Li Chengzhi to coax these two people, he didn't even hesitate?

What a talent...

While he was marveling, a guard jumped up to the high platform and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xi Kangsheng frowned slightly, glanced left and right, and finally landed on Li Chengzhi's face.

Li Chengzhi's eyelids twitched, and he was wondering what Xi Kangsheng meant by this, when he heard Xi Kangsheng ask in a deep voice: "Li Chengzhi, Hu Baozong is about to collapse, what should you do next?"

Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Baozong should have been unable to hold on any longer.

According to my previous estimate, Hu Baozong could only last for half an hour at most.

But it has been almost half an hour since I pretended to apologize and was beaten by Li Yun, right?

This shows how hard Hu Baozong worked to achieve meritorious service?

Li Chengzhi replied without thinking: "My subordinates have ordered the auxiliary battalions to prepare for war, and they can attack immediately..."

Auxiliary soldiers?

The generals in the audience almost laughed.

They didn't expect that Li Chengzhi would really dare to let a group of civilians meet the enemy?

I didn't hear that even Hu Baozong's private soldiers were defeated... It's strange to think about it: are the rebels too brave, or are the tribes that stabilize the Hu family too weak, so they can't resist it so quickly?

It was also said before that the main force of the rebels had been basically wiped out by Li Chengzhi, and only a few rebels remained?

The generals were suspicious and looked at Xi Kangsheng, thinking that the guards would not really send Li Chengzhi's civilian camp to fight, right?

How is that different from a joke?

Xi Kangsheng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at his nephew beside him: "Da Xi, go and lead Yuan Bo (Li Yun's nickname)'s troops to fight..."

Da Xi was stunned for a moment, as if to say: Father, you have not seen how evil those traitors are. How many of Li Jishi's soldiers must die before they can withstand them?

It's not that Da Xi thinks Li Yun's troops are too weak, but that these officers and soldiers have no experience and no preparation. When they suddenly engage in battle with this group of demon-like rebels, they will definitely suffer a lot of casualties due to fear.

It's better to send Li Chengzhi's troops up, at least after fighting these beast-like thieves once or twice, they won't be timid...

They first arrived at the prefecture city and met Hu Shichang before going around to Li Chengzhi's camp. They even went to Hu Baozong's flag post to check out the battle situation.

With just one glance, Da Xi could tell that Hu Baozong's two battalions were no less powerful than the government troops. However, they were still defeated steadily by the rebels who rushed out of the fire formation...

Not talking about him, even Xi Kangsheng was secretly frightened at that time: Nine out of ten of those rioters had been burned into a fireball, but they still rushed and pounced on them shouting "rebirth in bliss". What was the difference between this and evil spirits?

To be honest, when the government army attacked and ambushed the thieves and enemies in Xinping County City, if all they encountered were enemies that were crazier than wild beasts, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose...

Moreover, Hu Baozong also claimed that 99% of them were rioters, not rioters. The elite rebels who could fight several times more than this were all wiped out by Li Chengzhi...
To be continued...
