Chapter 79 Return to Shangjing City

Last time, we talked about Yuwen Tian asking a question to Lu Shu, the current leader of the Mohist School, at the last moment. So why did this team of imperial guards appear here quietly? Let's continue reading.

After hearing Yuwen Tian's question, Lu Shu smiled and said, "This team had arrived at the mountain pass three days ago to wait for you, but they didn't expect Dugu Long, Li Yi and others to show up, which disrupted their plans. But it didn't have much of an impact, and you finally got here."

Yuwen Tian asked, "We arrived three days ago? How did you determine that we would take this route?"

Lu Shu replied, "Lord Yuwen has been away from the capital for a long time, so the news may be a bit blocked. After Your Majesty gathered the disciples of the Mohist School, the first thing he did was not to kill them, but to educate and question them. The emperor's grace is great, and now the giant beast of the Mohist School obeys Your Majesty's command. Your Majesty has established a new agency based on the disciples of the Mohist School to specialize in intelligence gathering, named Xuan Jing Si. I won't explain the name to you, you just know that it is to advise the people of Xuan Jing Si to reflect on themselves from time to time.

I have already found out about your deal with Liu Hong and your agreement with the King of Shouyang of Southern Liang. By the way, do you know that you have been fooled? The King of Shouyang did not send anyone to meet you at the ferry. The bandits there were just driven there by him to appease you. "

Yuwen Tian sighed, "So, the Mohist School that I worked so hard to build has now become Tuoba Jun's intelligence network. It's really ridiculous, ridiculous to the extreme! I didn't think he would win the battle for the throne, but I didn't expect that he would scheme against me everywhere today. Everything has become a wedding dress. It's really ridiculous!

But you are lucky. If Dugu Long and Li Yi hadn't killed all my two teams of heavy armored soldiers, would you still want to stop me with the 1,000 imperial guards you brought? My 6,000 new soldiers can defeat 10,000 people! If I can build a 10,000-strong new army of heavy armored soldiers, no army in the world will be my opponent! "

Lu Shu waved his hand and said, "Yuwen Tian, ​​your heavy armored soldiers are indeed interesting. Although I didn't see them with my own eyes, I heard from General Pozhen. But have you ever considered that the cost of maintaining such a force is three times that of an ordinary army of the same size, and you want 10,000 people? You have spent all your savings to maintain more than a hundred people, so don't think too much and return to reality! Let me ask you, are you willing to change your mind and continue to serve the Wei Dynasty?"

Yuwen Tian said coldly: "Humph, Lord Lu is really joking. Serving? Will Tuoba Jun keep me? Will he keep my Yuwen family? My cousin can't understand. He should have made a mistake to the end when he chose the wrong person. He should have moved the whole family to Daliang. Now Tuoba Jun is getting stronger and stronger, and he will settle the old scores sooner or later! Will there be anyone left in the Yuwen family by then? Humph! I just left faster than them!" After saying that, Yuwen Tian drew his sword and committed suicide.

Looking at Yuwen Tian who fell to the ground, Lu Shu shook his head and sighed, and said to the commander beside him: "Commander Qian, you can clean up the battlefield now. Remember to bring all these heavy armors back to Shangjing City and send them to the Ministry of Works. I want to study them carefully." Commander Qian saluted and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield...

Lu Shu came to where Li Yi was. At this time, Li Yi was still leaning against a tree weakly. Lu Shu smiled and said, "Xiu Yuan, this time it's all thanks to you guys for destroying Yu Wentian's heavy armored soldiers first. Otherwise, most of the 1,000 imperial guards would have been lost."

Li Yi didn't have the energy to wave his hands, he just shook his head and asked, "According to what Lord Lu said, Mr. Tao had already known that Yuwen Tian would rebel and escape?"

Lu Shu replied, "Does Xiuyuan still remember Fang Zhuo? He didn't really go there to be a chess master. Tao Shouzuo already knew about the plan of Yuwen Tian, ​​Liu Hong and King Shouyang. Of course, when the Xuanjing Division was first established, it destroyed the plan of Yuwen Tian and Nan Liang in one fell swoop, which was a great achievement. As a disciple of the Mohist School, I really want to thank you."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Lord Lu, you don't have to thank me. But Li Yi doesn't understand how Mr. Tao determined that Yuwen Tian would take this road and sent you to ambush here? Moreover, since you arrived three days ago, why did you show up today?"

Lu Shu stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "When Mr. Tao learned that you came to Qingzhou with General Dugu and the Nangong brothers and sisters, he guessed that you would definitely intervene in this matter, so he specially wrote a letter to ask me to wait until you are at your wits' end before coming forward to help you out.

As for how you determined that Yuwen Tian would take this route, Xiuyuan, didn't you notice that no caravans or civilians have crossed the Peng River in the past few days? General Dugu destroyed those two bridges. You should know that there are only three bridges across the Peng River in Qingzhou. Why did no one take this bridge when the two others were destroyed? "

Li Yi smiled and said, "It turns out that everything was planned by Old Silver Coin."

Lu Shu waved his hand and said, "That may not be the case. There are many things that Mr. Tao did not expect. He did not expect Xiu Yuan to be able to break through the realm, he did not expect Yu Wentian's Mohist heavy armored soldiers to be so powerful, and he did not expect Liu Hong to part ways with Xiao Yonghui and join the Southern Liang Emperor."

Li Yi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Liu Hong and Xiao Yonghui have fallen out?"

Lu Shu explained: "The truth is still unknown, but what is clear is that Liu Hong did not join the army of Shouyang King Xiao Yonghui after returning to Southern Liang. Instead, he went directly to Jiankang and surrendered to the Southern Liang emperor. The news is confirmed, but we still don't know the inside story."

Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "This is not difficult to guess. He came to Jiankang City to establish a school of thought and establish the Southern Liang Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism. He will become a giant of the Southern Liang Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism, and be promoted to a fourth-rank scholar by publishing books and biographies! He will also further develop the heavy armored soldiers he and Yuwen Tian have researched. In this way, the Southern Liang will change!"

Lu Shu nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes perfect sense, but there is one thing, what does it mean that Nanliang is going to change?"

Li Yi said, "When I fought Liu Hong, he told me that he was looking forward to fighting me next time. Now that I think about it, it must be when the war between Liang and Wei started. Lord Lu, do you know what kind of mind Liu Hong was in when he was fighting with Confucianism?"

Lu Shu sighed, "I was there when he made up his mind. His mind was to carry forward Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism and achieve unparalleled achievements for Mohism."

Li Yi frowned and said slowly: "Lord Lu, I think you have to hurry up and research the new generation of weapons. Liu Hong will certainly do his best to promote the military reform of Southern Liang and use the mechanical techniques and various weapons of the Mohist school to improve the combat effectiveness of the Liang army. The nature of war is about to change. The quality of soldiers is not the number but the quality."

Lu Shu nodded and said, "I have thought of this, but I have not thought of it yet. Liu Hong is indeed very talented in Mohist mechanical arts. If Emperor Liang fully supports him, he might be able to build a Mohist heavy armored army."

Li Yi recalled the scene when Dugu Long was fighting with the heavy armored soldiers, and couldn't help feeling annoyed. He thought it would be great if he could build a cannon. However, the steelmaking technology of this era could not meet the steel requirements for the cannon body, so this matter had to be abandoned.

Seeing that Li Yi was silent, Lu Shu thought he was tired, and said, "Xiuyuan, you should take a good rest first, and we will talk in detail when we return to Shangjing."

After Lu Shu said goodbye and left, Nangong Xue asked, "Do you also understand the mechanical techniques of the Mohist school? Do you also understand the military affairs of the military school?"

Li Yi looked at the cold beauty covered in blood and said with a smile: "I know a thing or two about everything. Miss Nangong, do you have anything to ask?"

Nangong Xue sneered and asked, "Then let me ask you, when will you stop being such a loser that you have to lie down for a few days after a fight?"

Li Yi could not give an answer to this question, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Ji Yun said, "Uncle Junior, Master said that with your understanding and talent, as long as you practice Buddhism with concentration, you will at least become an Arhat in the future. Why don't you come back to the temple with me to practice Buddhism? Everyone in the temple misses you and wants to listen to your teachings on Buddhism."

Li Yi glared at Ji Yun and said, "Ji Yun, now that you have entered the Transcendent Realm, do you think you are very powerful? You dare to teach me?"

Jiyun shook his head and said, "I dare not. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not teach you. It's just that the master said that he missed you and asked you to come back to the temple more often."

Li Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I know. When I return to Shangjing City, I will definitely go to see my brothers and the others. Thanks to you this time, I won't let you make this trip in vain."

Ji Yun smiled and said, "Then I will carry you back to Shangjing City?"

Li Yi closed his eyes and said slowly: "You go back first and help me bring safety to Shiyu!" Jiyun performed a Buddhist ceremony and then left.

Not long after, Dugu Long arrived with Yuwen Ye in one hand. He threw Yuwen Ye to the ground and said to Commander Qian, "Commander Qian, I have captured Yuwen Ye for you. Take him back to Shangjing to report."

Commander Qian clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you for your hard work, General Dugu. Do you have any other instructions?"

Dugu Long waved his hand and went to look for Li Yi. Yuwen Ye was put into a prison car and taken to Shangjing City. At this time, Nangong Qi and Dugu Yu finally arrived with their men. Looking at the battlefield that was about to be cleaned up, the two hurried forward to find Dugu Long to ask him. After learning what had happened, Dugu Yu was very upset and blamed himself.

Dugu Long patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay. This incident happened suddenly. It's good enough to be able to do this."

Nangong Qi quickly asked, "How is Xiuyuan now?"

Dugu Yu then remembered Li Yi, and several people came to Li Yi together. Nangong Qi bowed and said, "Xiuyuan, thank you very much for this time. If Sister Xue gets into trouble, I really don't know how to explain to my father!"

Nangong Xue said coldly: "Why thank him? Without him, I will be fine. The worst that can happen is that I can just fly away on my sword."

Dugu Long was about to say something, but Nangong Xue glared at him coldly. He didn't say anything, scratched his head and smiled. Dugu Yu could see that there was something behind this, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he asked with a smile: "Xiuyuan, if you go back like this, how can we explain to Miss Bailing? You went with us as a living person, but you brought back a disabled person. I'm afraid Miss Bailing will beat you up!"

Li Yi laughed and said, "I am a useless person? Brother Yu, when I recover, I will make sure you know what a useless person is!"

Dugu Yu quickly joked: "Xiuyuan, you should think carefully before you act. You know who my eldest brother is!"

Dugu Long smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, when you get better, I want to spar with you again! You killed a team of heavily armored soldiers in an instant, it was really amazing, next time you are not allowed to hold back!"

Li Yi closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Nangong Qi smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Long, just let Xiu Yuan go. He doesn't want to lie there all day. There are many beauties waiting for him to return!" Several people laughed, and Nangong Xue snorted coldly and flew away on her sword...

Three days later, the Dugu brothers, the Nangong siblings, and Li Yi, who had been lying in bed for three days, finally returned to Qing'an City. When the convoy stopped at the gate of Liumoxuan, Liu Ruyun, Bailing, Xiaoye and others ran out. Liu Ruyun saw that Nangong Xue was fine, so she pulled her upstairs.

Bailing and Xiaoye looked at Li Yi being carried out, and hurriedly surrounded him to ask questions. Li Yi was actually fine except that he had some inconvenience in moving. He smiled and comforted the two.

The group rested for a day in Qing'an City and set out again the next day to return to Shangjing City. It was another three-day journey. Along the way, Bailing and Xiaoye took good care of Li Yi, and Nangong Xue did not speak a word to Li Yi.

Finally they arrived at Shangjing City, Nangong brothers and sisters returned home, Dugu brothers accompanied Li Yi and others to the North Suburbs Martial Arts Field. Li Yi had recovered now, but Dugu brothers insisted on seeing him off, so Li Yi could not refuse.

So the following scene was seen in the martial arts arena. Li Yi led Bailing and Xiaoye in front, while Dugu Long and Dugu Yu followed behind Bailing and Xiaoye. This formation was very strange, but Li Yi couldn't understand it. The Dugu brothers clearly said they would send him off, but they were walking behind. Until Li Yi saw Shiyu looking at him with anger on her face.

Li Yi thought: Oh no, these two bastards are here to laugh at me! My wife, you must save some face for your husband! There are outsiders here! He turned around and found that the Dugu brothers had stopped and were no longer moving forward.
