Chapter 20 Idiot
Li Xiaozong looked at the row of people standing in front of him and couldn't help but rub the increasingly swollen half of his face. Although he looked at the person in front of him, his mind kept thinking about the fight he had with the perverted woman in Yunji's dog meat shop. After coming out of the Martial Arts Academy, he had never been beaten so happily.
You must know that even in the martial arts academy, there were only three students in the original group who could beat him. And these three people are all geniuses recognized by the Sui Dynasty. He was beaten because he happened to be in the category of genius. In fact, looking at the entire Sui Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who have advanced to the seventh level at the age of twenty-six. Even if you think about it carefully, he can still be ranked in the top ten. Of course, there may be many unborn geniuses hiding somewhere.
But Li Xiaozong, who was so proud and arrogant, was beaten into a pig's head by that domineering woman in the dog meat shop.
He thought about it carefully and realized that he should have punched first. His original intention was to shatter the cabinet in Yunji's shop with one punch and let the woman know what she was doing. But just because he broke Yun Ji's furniture, he received a violent beating from the woman.
There was no room to fight back.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking to himself, if this was spread back to the imperial capital, wouldn't those three people laugh to death?
"General Li, why are you here?"
Seeing Li Xiaozong shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Wu Peisheng couldn't help but have a cold look on his face: "The horn sounded clearly just now, and our family also saw the soldiers in the camp gathering and then splitting half of them out. Why did our family only walk halfway? Those The soldiers have gone back again? We just received news that Fang Jie, a craftsman from the Meng Yuan Empire, is trying to escape from the west gate. Why are you standing here? "
Li Xiaozong shook his head and said: "Fang Jie was an outstanding soldier in the Fangu border army of the Sui Dynasty. Since joining the army, he has made twenty-one contributions, large and small. According to the rules set by His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, every soldier has made meritorious deeds." Anyone who has passed the exam more than twenty times, regardless of age or origin, can take the Yanwu Academy exam. I have prepared a certificate recommending Fang Jie to go to Chang'an to take the Yanwu Academy entrance exam this year."
"What did you say?!"
Wu Peisheng¡¯s face became extremely ugly. He pointed his finger at Li Xiaozong¡¯s face and said angrily: ¡°Why did a spy from the Meng Yuan Empire become a meritorious person again?!¡±
"Half an hour ago, he was indeed a spy sent by the Mongolian Yuan Empire into our Fangu City, and everyone found him and killed him. But half an hour later, he is a meritorious member of our Sui border army."
"Give us a reason!"
Wu Pai Shenghan said with a smile on his face, but suppressed his anger.
"The reason is very simple."
Li Xiaozong pointed to his face without shame and said seriously: "Not long ago, one of Fang Jie's friends beat me severely. Then she went to rescue Fang Jie. I guess now you are sending The people who went there have been taken care of. Fang Jie is fine, and I can't defeat his friends, so he can't be a spy, he can only be a hero. "
"Mu San!"
Wu Peisheng coldly ordered: "Take someone with you to Ximen to have a look. Our family wants to see how many gods are hidden in this small Fangu City!"
"There are no gods in Fangu City."
Li Xiaozong smiled and said: "This place is very small, no more than three and a half miles long and no more than three miles wide. There are 800 soldiers on the frontier and 2,261 civilians. There is no god hiding here, they are all human beings But It is undeniable that the more inconspicuous a place is, the more some worldly experts like to live in seclusion here. "
Wu Peisheng snorted and ignored Li Xiaozong: "Museum, you can go. There is nothing here. What our family doesn't believe the most is what General Li dares to do to our family. Whether or not the spies of the Meng Yuan Empire are caught is no longer important. , The important thing is that Mu Da and Mu Er may be here. Your Dali Temple can't afford to lose this person, and our family can't afford to lose this person."
"Here!"
Mu San responded and rushed toward the west gate with a dozen or so officials from Dali Temple. Li Xiaozong didn't intend to stop him at all, but instead gave way with a smile on his face. Whenever he smiles, his swollen face hurts.
"Only now do our families know that the spy sent by the Meng Yuan Empire is not the unscrupulous little frontier soldier named Fang Jie, but you, a fifth-grade tooth general from the Great Sui Dynasty. To do this today, Li Xiaozong Even if our family wants to help you evade it, we can't evade it. If we let the thieves kill the official of the Sui Dynasty, even if you gain favor in front of His Majesty, you will still die. "
Li Xiaozong sighed and explained: "If I don't change my mind, I will die before His Majesty kills me. Even if I have to die, it's better to die a few days later, isn't it?"
 Wu Peisheng sneered: "You are so sure that you can kill our family? Don't say you don't think so. Since you plan to let Fang Jie go and watch Mu Damu Er be killed, then you He will definitely not let us go.¡±
"Since you knew it, why did your father-in-law let Mu San go to the west gate?"
Li Xiaozong asked.
"Because you can't kill our family, and anyone who rebels tonight will be killed by our family."
"No wonder"
Li Xiaozong sighed and said: "You are the Talisman Master who has been broken for many years, right? You are so well hidden No wonder His Majesty uses you so much. A eunuch is actually a Talisman Master of the sixth grade. I'm afraid there won't be many people telling this. I personally believe it. I have long known that there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the imperial capital, but now I know that there are also a group of tigers and leopards hiding among the eunuchs. "
¡¡
¡¡
Wu Peisheng slowly untied the cloak from his shoulders and threw it on the snow: "Li Xiaozong, you should know that you have no chance of winning against a Talisman Master."
Li Xiaozong nodded: "Even ordinary people know that when fighting at the same level, a warrior is definitely no match for a Talisman Master But, it seems that you and I are not of the same level. You are on the sixth level, not even the seventh level. Even so, I The odds are still slim, but at least there is a chance to win.¡±
"you are wrong¡¡"
Wu Peisheng couldn't hide his pride and smiled and said: "Sixth grade you are talking about our family three years ago, not our family now. Our family has seen the records filed by the Ministry of War and knows that you are in the Martial Arts Academy. At that time, I was already a master of the sixth level. In the past three years, I have been training in the border town, and I think I have broken through the sixth level and entered the seventh level. Unfortunately my family broke through because of the mink velvet vest given by His Majesty three years ago. Arrived at level seven.¡±
Li Xiaozong¡¯s expression changed and he subconsciously took a step back.
"You want to retreat now? It's too late."
Wu Peisheng smiled secretly, slowly raised his right hand and pointed at Li Xiaozong from a distance. His hands are very beautiful, slender and clean. If you look at these hands without looking at their appearance, most people will mistake them for women's hands. Even among women, these hands are considered delicate and beautiful.
The nails are trimmed very short, and no dirt can be seen in the gaps between the nails. The fingers are long and the palms are slightly thick. It can be seen that he pays great attention to these hands and takes good care of them.
The moment he raised his hand, Li Xiaozong immediately did one thing.
Escape.
He stepped forward fiercely, and in the next second he was already more than ten meters away. His movements were already extremely fast, and his reactions were even faster. This made Wu Peisheng have to look at him with admiration: "There are still people in the imperial capital who say that your future is unpredictable. Dean Zhou even said that if you don't die at the age of thirty, you may become the most important person in our Sui Empire since its founding. A young governor, a high-ranking official in the border areas, with unlimited glory. "
"It's a pity Dean Zhou is right, you won't live to be thirty."
Li Xiaozong did not answer, but fled into the distance again. In a flash, he was already more than ten meters away, moving so fast that his eyes couldn't even follow him. But Wu Peisheng didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. The hand stretched out in mid-air bent back four fingers, leaving only the index finger, and slowly drew a spell in mid-air.
At this time, Li Xiaozong was already more than thirty meters away.
Just when Li Xiaozong was preparing to retreat for the fourth time, he suddenly became aware of the crisis behind him. At the critical moment, he threw himself forward and lay on the snow. Three ice picks as sharp as blades, although not big, suddenly appeared behind him. If he had not dodged in time enough, these three ice picks would have pierced his body fiercely. One for the back of the head, one for the neck, and one for the back of the heart.
This is the way Talisman Masters fight, and they are impossible to guard against.
"You can't escape. What our family is best at is writing water talismans. It's freezing today and the water has turned into ice. The power of the water talismans is actually much greater. No matter how fast you move, you can still go faster. Is this covered with snow in Fangu City?¡±
Wu Peisheng smiled proudly and drew the talisman with his fingers faster and faster. With the movements of his fingers, more and more chopstick-sized ice picks appeared around Li Xiaozong's body. No matter how he dodges, those ice picks always follow him. A seventh-grade master is rare in the military. Just as Li Xiaozong himself expected, as long as he returns to the court, it won't take long for him to be promoted to the fourth rank Ying Yanglang General, with a bright future. But now this promising upstart in the Great Sui Army was forced to be unable to fight back by a seventh-grade Talisman Master.
With a chirping sound, an ice pick finally stabbed Li Xiaozong. The seemingly fragile ice pick easily scratched the cotton clothes on his body. A wisp of blood slowly seeped out from inside the cotton clothes, but Li Xiaozong had no time to check the injury. Just himFor a brief moment, he was surrounded by at least thirty ice picks.
"Are you feeling frustrated?"
Wu Peisheng smiled and said: "A seventh-level master has no power to fight back. If it were our family, we would definitely feel aggrieved."
¡¡
¡¡
Li Xiaozong gasped for air, kneeling on one knee on the ground and he didn¡¯t have much strength anymore. There were wounds all over his body, and there was an ice pick stuck deeply into his shoulder, which was slowly melted by the warmth of his blood. The cotton robe on his body had been cut to pieces, and there were faint traces of blood in many openings.
Wu Peisheng slowly waved his fingers, and at least twenty ice picks floated up again and were aimed at Li Xiaozong: "You made a mistake from the time you wanted to kill our family. You are a warrior, and you have nothing but close proximity. He could have killed our family, but you didn¡¯t take the chance. Do you know why?¡±
He said proudly: "Because we saw the border soldiers retreating from our house, our family began to doubt you. Since we doubt you, how can we not be wary of you?"
He snorted coldly: "The genius of the Yanwu Academy is just crawling like a dog in front of our house and gasping for air. You should miss the smell of the air in this world, because the smell in hell is probably not so fresh. Li Xiaozong After our family returns to the capital, we will tell your majesty that you died fighting hard while capturing the spies. This is good for you, our family, and your Longyou Li family."
"Thank you."
Li Xiaozong solemnly said two words.
"Haha! You can actually say the words "Thank you". Are you thanking our family for helping you save face?"
Li Xiaozong shook his head and slowly stood up straight: "Thank you for being so proud, that's why you exposed so many flaws."
Wu Peisheng was startled, and when his fingers were about to move, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. Immediately afterwards, an ice pick was pierced from his forehead, exposing several inches of his length. Wu Peisheng looked at Li Xiaozong in disbelief, and fell down softly before he could say a word. As he fell to the ground, all the ice picks floating around Li Xiaozong fell to the ground.
Li Xiaozong breathed a long sigh of relief, walked slowly to Wu Peisheng and squatted down, looked at the ice pick and then smiled with some satisfaction.
"Since you know that I am a genius in the Martial Arts Academy, you should know that geniuses always want to learn more things. Those three guys suppressed me in the Martial Arts Academy for three years. If I don't practice some skills, how will I be suppressed after I return? But after all, I have only been practicing Talisman for three years, and I cannot use my arms and fingers as smoothly as you do, so I always need to prepare in the world. If you are not satisfied, how can I deceive you? How can I kill you? Do you know why I invited myself to Fan Gu back then? It was because it was too remote and no one knew that I could practice talismans Wouldn't those three guys be surprised when I go back? "
"Ohthat's not right."
Li Xiaozong smiled and said: "Actually, I just want to try to see if my magic spell works. Even if the magic spell doesn't work, you can't kill me. As for my injuries I have to accumulate some experience for the future. What if I meet a more powerful Talisman Master, right? There are too few Talisman Masters, so I¡¯ll have to play more if I finally meet one.¡±
He threw a short and lightweight repeating crossbow from his cuff, and then patted Wu Peisheng's deadpan face: "Anyone who doesn't prepare at least two hands is a fool."
Just at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
Li Xiaozong stood up and looked back, and saw the woman wearing a very rustic floral blue cotton-padded jacket holding Mu San's ankle with one hand and slowly walking towards him. The cold Mu San turned into a cold one. The body was dragged by the woman like a dead dog, leaving a mark on the snow.
