Chapter 374(1/2)
Censor Zhongcheng
There are some advantages to appearing as Li Qingyue, that is, there is nothing to pretend. You don’t have to hide your strength in a coy way, you don’t have to change your moves in a false or real way, you don’t have to be cautious about hiding your head and tail, and you can be generous when killing people.
Show off Mo Zhushan’s basic sword energy and Qiankun Feilong Jianlan’s best moves.
But there are some disadvantages to using this identity, that is, he can no longer kill people as freely as before. To follow the white path, he must be reasonable, abide by the rules, and maintain the reputation of the sect. Even if he secretly plots, ambush and rob, he must still do it
The teacher is famous.
Although it is very hypocritical, these are the "rules of Taoism". In an era when there is no king's law and everyone speaks with the sword in their hands, the false name of "the famous and upright sect" is to restrain these people who hold swords in their hands and are stained with dirt on their bodies.
The only rein for the blood-killing immortals.
Of course, Li Fan would not take the initiative to break this rule, so although he was very anxious and wanted to finish this broken side mission as soon as possible and return to Mozhu Mountain to help, he still behaved himself and landed outside Beizhen City and sent out a greeting.
Attached is a letter from the head of the Discipline Academy, calling on Wei Gao, the censor Zhongcheng.
Fortunately, Wei Laohu didn't excuse his busy schedule to keep Li Fan waiting. This guy did have a reputation, but the name "Li Qingyue" was no less famous in Li Guo than him.
"True Lord Qingyue, I have admired you for a long time. I am sent to Wei Gao to oversee the army in Bianzhou. Please forgive me for wearing my armor and not being able to salute."
Wei Gao was indeed wearing armor. He probably had blood on his front Confucian robe, so he took a bath, changed his clothes, and put on the armor as well. He also had a beard, dark skin and beasts.
With his eyes shining brightly, he rode out of the city on a tall horse. He really had the demeanor of a military commander.
"Wei Zhongcheng is too polite. Mozhushan Lou Guandao Li Qingyue has been ordered by the Discipline Academy to hunt down the traitor Huang Hai."
While Li Fan was compiling, Wei Gao was also observing the young Taoist priest in front of him.
Yes, Li Qingyue no longer looks like a teenager. Probably every time he goes through a catastrophe of life and death, his longevity appearance will be damaged. Now Li Qingyue looks to be in his early twenties, seven feet tall, the same as Wei Gao
He is about the same height, although his beard is not as outrageous as his, and his chin is also furry, and probably because he vomited Qiongqi out, Li Fan now has black eyes, restrained light, and his appearance is also the standard of a Lou Guan Taoist priest.
Equipped with black robes, wooden buns, and straw sandals, he looked like an ordinary Taoist priest who could be seen everywhere, far less elegant than the Taoist priest who showed off his original skills.
But when Wei Gao looked at him, he suddenly couldn't help himself. Tears filled his eyes!
Li Fan stared at the emotionally out-of-control middle-aged man with a "What are you doing!" look, "...Wei Zhongcheng, what's wrong with you? Did sand blow into your eyes..."
Wei Gao took a deep breath, wiped his tears and said, "Wei Gao is rude, but the appearance of the real person reminded Gao of the East Palace...the voice and appearance of the former Guangling Crown Prince. He was in a trance for a moment and couldn't help himself."
Oh... By the way, this Wei Hu was not only a disciple of the imperial censor, but also a confidant promoted by Li Guodong Palace. Li Fan had really forgotten that this was the case.
By the way, who is Li Yi's son Guangling... Oh shit! It seems to be his father! Gan...
Li Fan had a black line on his face, fearing that the other party would rush to kowtow and ask him to go back and inherit the throne, so he quickly said, "Well, Li Qingyue is from the mountains and wilds. He has become a monk and cultivated immortality. He is no longer a member of the clan."
Xuantian, "The king doesn't want it, your kid is really mentally ill..."
Damn! I just don’t want to be complained about by you!
Wei Gao controlled his emotions, cupped his fists and said, "I never thought that True Lord Qingyue would come in person. Gao lost his temper for a moment and made the real person laugh. You have come all the way and it is getting late. I have already ordered my servants to hold a banquet. Please don't do it, true Lord."
decline."
"Wei Zhongcheng, there is no need to be so polite. You are busy with military affairs, and I also have the responsibility of the division. There is no need to have a meal. Why don't you just tell me where the Yellow Sea is now? I will take advantage of the night to go to the Nangong Army to find him.
Just catch him."
Seeing that the other party seemed to have a tendency to enter the memory killing, Li Fan quickly clicked the fast forward button to skip the plot.
Wei Gao explained, "To be honest, it happened that Gao had an insider placed in the Nangong Army this time, so he found out that Huang Hai had surrendered to the Nangong clan, but he didn't know where he was camping..."
"According to Wei Zhongcheng's wishes, should I be stationed in Beizhen to wait for your detailed work to find out the person's location before arresting him? Is Huang Hai really in the army? Could it be that your spy recognized the wrong person?
"
Li Fan frowned for a moment. The key was that he had never seen Huang Hai with his own eyes last time. He didn't know this person's appearance and consciousness, and he couldn't find him by himself. In addition, he had met Wei Gao before.
The scheming, but this kind of talented soldiers were preparing for the war with all their strength, the other party sent a letter to the Discipline Academy, and gained a high-level combat power of Mo Zhushan in vain. It was such a coincidence, so I was slightly suspicious of what the other party was using.
Wei Gao didn't mind Li Fan's suspicion and asked, "I heard that it was Master Qingyue who accused Huang Haicao, the Protector of Xiping, in front of everyone, of stealing human lives, harming the people, and ruining the reputation of Mozhu Mountain.
Now that you have reached the realm of a real person, you actually came to arrest this animal in person, and you are holding on to it without knowing why? Could it be that the Huang family has offended you, a real person?"
Li Fan stared at Wei Gao for a while and said, "No, I have never met this person. I just bumped into him by chance, plundered and killed the people, and he was so angry that he punished him. Now that I know his whereabouts, I will go there myself."
Come and settle this grudge."
Wei Gao asked with a smile, "Indignation, so it's like this, because Huang Hai accidentally killed the people and was met by you, the real person, and he was indignant for a moment, so he must be killed, right?"
Li Fan sneered, "Zhongcheng is wrong. It's not that he 'accidentally' killed the people and got hit by me. It's because this kind of beast has obviously run amok and the big shots are used to it. No one from top to bottom can restrain him. That's why he committed the crime."
It just fell into the hands of a nosy person who happened to be passing by me."
Wei Gao asked with a smile, "Even so, the noble family has contributed to the founding of the country first, and then the shadow can protect the descendants. Wouldn't it be chilling to blame the descendants for small mistakes?
What's more, the Huang family has been guarding Xiping Mansion for Mo Zhushan for decades, and they have worked hard without credit. Nowadays, there are more families like the Huang family in Liguo, and they all surrender to your sect. The real person is forcing Huang Hai like this,
How to gain their loyalty?"
Li Fan narrowed his eyes. He couldn't stand this guy's affectionate expression as if he was educating a child. He also asked some questions that he wanted to find trouble with, so he could only answer patiently,
"Zhongcheng is wrong again. Under the banner of a disciple of Mozhushan and the title of Protector of Liguo, he does not care about guarding the territory and ensuring the safety of the people. Instead, he conspires and opportunists, sets up troops to commit crimes, and commits evil. Is there any reason not to punish him? Dominate the place and prey on the people.
It can be regarded as hard work, so how can the common people of Shengdou, who are burdened with exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, still survive?
The Huang family is not guarding Xiping Mansion for Mo Zhushan, and Xiping Mansion should not be his family's private property. I don't care about the loyalty of these losers.
Those who don’t want to be officials don’t have to be officials, and those who want to die can go ahead and seek death. I, Li Qingyue, especially like to help others. This is how the Huang family should do it, and it should be the same thing when the Wang family, Li family, South Palace and North Palace encounter each other.”
Wei Gao was not afraid of the murderous intention hidden in Li Fan's words. Instead, he smiled and shook his head.
"There is always bullying in this world. It is better for the princes and ministers to replace the emperor and the herdsmen, and the hierarchy is orderly, than to kill without justice in a troubled world, right?
Didn't the real person say that he wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains, seek peace in the world, and ignore the affairs of the sect? Why did he get involved in this world's grievances again?
You rely on your righteous indignation to eliminate violence and act chivalrously. If you find a helper, what if you don't find it? How many people can you save? How long can you persist?"
Li Fan was a little impatient, "I have told you that Li Qingyue is just a person who enjoys helping others. There are so many people in Xiping Mansion who want Huang Hai dead. I have accepted all the thank you gifts, how can I let him go? Why, Zhong Cheng thinks so?
Want to save Huang Hai's life? Well, then go and ask the people in Xiping Mansion one by one to see if they agree."
Wei Gao still shook his head, stroking his beard and smiling, "I didn't say let him go, but killing him like this is actually useless for the overall situation.
I have heard a little bit about this case. Huang Hai is a private mercenary. The lack of strict military discipline caused many casualties. This can be explained as not his original intention.
According to the discipline of Mo Zhushan, it can only be regarded as corrupting the family tradition and expelling the master. Even if it is judged by the Ministry of Punishment, it is just an incompetence under the control. It can barely be added to collude with the demon sect and plot evil.
But the vassal family will only think that he is in the wrong team, or has offended a real person somewhere, and whether to kill or behead him, it will not have the effect of admonishing and teaching or correcting the moral code."
Li Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person, knowing what this guy meant.
"Then please ask Zhongcheng to teach me?"
Wei Gao smiled and said,
"A mere scholar has nothing to teach real people. I just want to ask you again, do you know why there are people like Huang Hai in the world?"
Li Fan rolled his eyes in anger, "You have a mother but not a father?"
Wei Gao shook his head and said seriously, "Chaos is approaching and people's hearts are unsettled because the country is in chaos, yin and yang are out of balance, and the top and bottom are out of order.
This is all because there is no sage ruler in Liqiu Palace and no wise minister Anbang in Taiji Palace, so ambitious people like Huang Hai saw the opportunity to get ahead.
Once people have desires and want to get something that cannot be theirs, they will do whatever it takes, even if they risk their lives. How can such a person feel pity if he doesn't even care about his own life?
Where are the millions of people?
Therefore, in times of emergency, the first thing to do is to have a sage to lead by example and rectify the family and the country, and then appoint and select talents, and promote talents in the government and the public who are determined to serve the country, so as to purge those who break the law and disrupt the country, and bring order to the chaos.
As long as the monarch and his ministers work together and unite as one, so that the hierarchy between monarch and minister, father and son, can be distinguished, people can fulfill their responsibilities, and things can be put to their best use, then the government and the public will be clarified, everyone will be loyal to themselves, the world will be the commonwealth, and the days of peace and stability will not be far away."
Li Fan understood, shook his head and said, "I don't believe what you are saying. This world cannot be saved by two saints. What's more, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. There is only Gai in Liqiu Palace.
The Saint King of the Seal is enough. As long as you really do what you say and put your thoughts on the people, it is not difficult to protect the people. After all, the peaceful world is not something you can just talk about and write articles.
It’s better to do more than talk more.”
Wei Gao was not angry and asked, "How can I bring peace to the world with Mo Zhushan's insights?"
Li Fan thought for a while, "Regardless of Mo Zhushan's opinion, in my own opinion, the reason the world is where it is today is because everyone is greedy, wants to climb up, wants more, wants to live a better life, no matter it is No matter whether they are aristocratic families or ordinary people, they will spit out what they eat and give it to others. They will only watch them starve to death. So...
Unless most people in the world have enough to eat, or most people starve to death, in short, the remaining living people want peace, then the world will truly be peaceful.
As long as there is peace, you can go either way."
Wei Gao was stunned for a moment and stared at Li Fan for a long time, "...the Marquis of Guannei is really unwilling to step forward and reorganize the Qian Gang?"
Li Fan shook his head, "Now I just want to catch that Huang Hai and beat him up, and I have to be careful not to beat him to death."
Wei Gao looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's a pity... okay... let's go then."
Go? Where to go?
Wei Gao pointed his horsewhip to the north, pointing at the looming Peach Blossom Mountain in the distance, "Gao heard that the Nangong family wanted me to put a head on my head, so he made an appointment with them for a drink. He originally wanted to ask the real person to rest in the city for a while, and I'll go for a run. Bring Huang Hai back. Since the real person can't wait, how about we go together. Of course, you have to hide your face to avoid causing trouble."
Li Fan knew everything he could do, so he followed Wei Gao straight to the Nangong Camp.
The Nangong family was obviously caught off guard. After all, who would have thought that a mere scholar at the Golden Core Realm, the recently appointed Yushi Zhongcheng, would have the guts to go to the meeting with only a Nascent Soul Realm bodyguard. Of course, there was nothing prepared at all. Banquet...
But no matter what, in order not to be called a Nanman bumpkin, the Nangong family still has to show off their appearance.
Fortunately, the Nangong family's singing and dancing troupe was professional, and they didn't have to wait for long before a stargazing platform was set up on the mountain. Immortals sang and danced to their heart's content, and the silk and bamboo orchestra played and played for a while. Delicious delicacies were served, and the price was more than ten yuan. Yingnan Palace and dozens of Jindan Nangongs also arrived one after another. The stargazing platform was soon crowded with Nangongs, like a clone party...
