Chapter 673 Rumors

After Fengzhou was customized as a large granary in the northern border area, the number of population exchanges was twice as high as before. Even the merchants, people and military generals who lived here were 50% higher, making this place an important city that was not under the northern border cities such as Youyun.

As the saying goes, there are too many people. Once there are too many people, all kinds of true and false statements will naturally be spread. As long as it is not true, it will be related to the frontline war, local governments often turn a blind eye to such rumors and let the people guess and think about it.

In the past month or two, the most circulated here was the statement about front-line wars, such as how many enemies a general fought bravely yesterday, and how many troops he killed the day before yesterday, or what is the situation in the battle of Yunzhou City that has never been taken down now? Anyway, there are all kinds of statements, but more of them are still optimistic.

However, in just two or three days, new rumors spread throughout Fengzhou City, and the content was much more powerful than the front-line wars.

In a small wine shop, several drinkers were gathering together, muttering in a low voice:

"Have you heard that Lord Li is amazing. He has become a fourth-rank official in the court at a young age. Moreover, he is from a poor family and has been through the imperial examination step by step to today."

"Yes, it's said that poor families cannot get out of noble children. Isn't this Lord Li a noble person? But because of this, he has become a thorn in the eyes of many powerful people. I heard that he was often framed by others when he was in the capital. However, he also descended to the earth and actually broke all the conspiracy traps. Not only was he unharmed, but he also rose step by step because of this."

"I also heard that it was said that an unjust case occurred in the capital before, involving King Yong. Do you know that King Yong? That is the son of the current emperor. Then, guess what, Lord Li exposed him regardless of his identity, and even sued the emperor for suing the emperor and directly asked the emperor to give all his official position. If it weren't for the father and son, he wouldn't even be able to save King Yong's life."

"Hey, you're a trivial matter, what's King Yong's worth? The prince, that's the most powerful person among the powerful, and then he actually wanted to attack Lord Li!"

"So you're serious?"

"What am I lie to you? This is what my brother in the granary told me in person. Many people were watching it. Just five days ago, Lord Li was pushed out in front of the military camp gate beside the granary. An official there wanted to kill him without any questions. At that time, the knife was raised. What would you do if you encounter such a thing?"

"What else can I do? Wait for death."

"I don't wait to die, at least I have to fight... Uh, I mean, I'll be a hero after eighteen years."

This person's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, but then everyone's eyes fell on the source: "Speak quickly, how did Lord Li escape this disaster?"

"Hey, I want to say that Lord Li is the stars who descended to the earth, which is extraordinary. At this critical moment, the savior arrived. First, Lord Wen, the governor of Fengzhou, brought people to kill him. There was also a god-like figure, dozens of feet away. In just a flash, not only did he kill Lord Li, but he also killed the executioner who wanted to kill him. The blood splattered when the knife went down, and tsk, it shocked thousands of people on the spot.

"So powerful, is it really a god here?"

"I don't think it's true, not because you're swearing..."

"This is all told by my brother, I would say it nonsense? And so many people were watching at that time. If this person was not so powerful, he would have saved Lord Li from thousands of generals? Of course, the matter has not ended here. After all, there are many people and powerful people. Even Lord Wen can't suppress the situation. Guess what?"

Seeing everyone shook their heads, he smiled proudly, drank a sip of wine and ate two sips of food, which made everyone urge it again, and then he slowly said: "Then the next group of reinforcements also arrived. This time it was General Di. When he arrived, all the people were honest and handed over the guy who really wanted to harm Lord Li. He was a military adviser named Fang Wenbi..."

"You said so much, does it have anything to do with the prince mentioned before?" After knowing the result, someone finally remembered what he said before and questioned.

And this hit the other party's thoughts: "Haha, don't worry, I'm about to talk about the key points, do you think the matter is over? Then what kind of person is Lord Li? He is the person who dares to go to the southwest to compete with the barbarians of all races in the capital, dares to fight against the powerful and powerful people in the capital, and defeat the King Yong. Will he be almost killed and give up?

"So that night, the guy named Fang Wenbi fell into his hands and then asked him a question. What do you think?" As he said that, he kept it aside and looked around, waiting for others to answer.

Sure enough, there was something good, and he quickly responded: "But is the prince behind the surname Fang?"

"That's it. It turns out that the prince was jealous of the virtuous and capable, so he had a murderous intention towards Lord Li, and this was the reason for this arrangement. In fact, not only in Fengzhou, but also in the entire northern border, many people have received the notice of the prince, waiting for Lord Li to kill him as soon as he arrives. It can be said that Lord Li is now in the northern border, and there are enemies everywhere. As for the same thing, what should you do if you encounter such a situation?"

No one answered this time, but the answer was already there, waiting to die. Who is the prince? How could ordinary people dare to think about it? Even if Lord Li is really a bit extraordinary, he is still just a minister after all. How dare he go against the prince?

A bang sounded everyone out of their thoughts, and the man who slapped the table said, "I'm sure you're all in the wine table. I thought it was completely over. But as a result, Lord Li was extraordinary, he was not afraid at all. He turned his head and removed Fang Wenbi. If you don't believe it, you can go to the yamen to inquire. It seems that the body is going to be sent out of the city today. He also has an identity as Dong Shuai's counselor, and he is going to send the person back to the front line."

This statement attracted everyone's praise, and even felt that the statement was too false. However, this person ignored everyone's thoughts and continued: "I heard from my brother that Lord Li said that anyone who wanted to harm him would just come, he would continue to attack him. However, once he was defeated, he would have to bear the consequences himself. He would not care about your identity and who was instructed behind his back. As long as he dared to be an enemy of him, he would never die! Fang Wenbi was a role model!"

Having said that, everyone took a deep breath again. Lord Li is really domineering. He doesn't even care about the prince? But in addition to being frightened, everyone felt a sense of pleasure and was more willing to believe that this was true.

Because most people are just fighting against the common people, facing the oppression of the powerful and powerful, they can't even protect themselves. But now, Lord Li, who is also from the bottom of the class but has reached a high position step by step through his own efforts, is not afraid of the prince's power, and not only breaks the deadlock but also fights the killing. This sense of inclusion is really too strong.

Maybe everyone dared not talk much, but they had already remembered this matter in their hearts, and then after they left, they consciously helped spread the story. And when this matter spreads through the word of mouth of the people, the content of the story continued to be exaggerated and deformed, and Li Moyun, who saved people, was almost circulated like a sword immortal.

As the military and civilians in the city flowed outward, this statement continued to spread to the outside world, spreading to the passes in the northern border, and to the ears of some people with heart.

As Li Ling guessed, the prince was really moved this time, not only Fang Wenbi, but also made arrangements everywhere else. Many people have indeed started to make secret arrangements in order to curry favor with the prince. As long as Li Ling really comes in front of them, it will be the time for them to take action.

But at this moment, the incident of Fang Wenbi being counter-killed by Li Ling came over in a somewhat exaggerated form, which immediately made many people feel worried.

It is of course a trivial matter to help the prince get rid of one person, but once this matter is related to his own life, it will no longer be so small. Although the future is important, may it be compared with his own life? If the prince does not help the prince deal with Li Ling, there will be fewer opportunities at most, but once he is killed, he will be all the compensation.

So, after half a month of rumors scattered, many people calmed down, and some of the original arrangements were urgently stopped, and several documents that had been sent to Fengzhou were even corrected by later documents, saying that Lord Li did not need to go to preside over the overall situation of grain transportation.

Li Ling naturally understood the truth about such a change. Obviously, they wanted to set up an assassination on the excuse of asking themselves to go over to check the transportation of military rations in the local area. But now, these people have changed their minds... Li Ling just smiled and did not go into further. As long as they no longer wanted to harm themselves, he would be happy to be kind to others, and the most important thing was to do the job well.

However, there are always exceptions in things. When the same rumors spread to Shuozhou and to a general's ears, his face was full of disdain: "Do you really think that this rumors can make people afraid, so you dare not be enemies with him?"

"The general means..." the subordinate who came to report the matter said with a serious expression, "This rumor is false, is Li Ling just bluffing?"
