Chapter 44: Xun Mansion Massacre
Li Ji knew that by looking at a person's health line, one could tell whether he had any disease.
Not everyone has a health line.
No, it means you are in great shape.
If your health line is long, with clear and visible lines and strong expression, it means you are in good health.
He looked at the old man's health lines and found that the lines were not very clear and were intermittent.
He was startled at the time and the old man was very weak.
He opened the medicine box and took out a silver needle.
According to the acupuncture methods in "Huangdi Neijing" and " Lingshu", a needle was inserted into the Muchuang point on the old man's head.
Half an hour later, the old man gradually regained consciousness.
When he opened his eyes and saw Li Ji, he trembled all over.
Instead of thanking Li Ji for saving his life, he behaved very abruptly.
The old man suddenly sat up on the bed.
His eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at Li Ji closely.
It was as if Li Ji had grown an extra hand.
He shouted:
"Someone come, arrest him!"
Xun Mei was also dumbfounded at that time.
"Daddy, this is our savior."
"No, he is a wanted criminal of the imperial court!"
Li Ji was shocked and said, "Your mother met someone from the government."
He walked out carrying the medicine box.
The old man got out of bed, holding a sharp sword, and chased out the door.
"Close the door and don't let this kid run away."
A guard knelt on the ground with a clatter, "It's Lord Xun!"
Under the bright light, Li Ji could tell at a glance that the old man was actually Xun Wang Qing, the governor of Xingyang.
That's too rude. I've also been the governor of Pingyuan County and we were officials in the same dynasty. Why do you have to be so aggressive?
Li Ji saw that the door was closed.
Even if we want to run, we can't.
He said calmly:
"Master Xun, are your eyes blurry, or do you have amnesia?"
Xun Wangqing glanced at Li Ji and asked cunningly:
"Master Li, don't play any tricks on me. Can you say you are not a traitor?"
Li Ji laughed out loud.
His face suddenly changed, "Master Xun, you are so slanderous. I am obviously the governor of Pingyuan County, but you insist on saying that I am a bandit."
He pointed his finger and asked sternly:
"Master Xun, there are so many bandits in the Central Plains, but you don't catch them, and instead you make a false accusation."
Xun Wangqing was startled and asked sternly:
"Aren't you Li Ji from the Liangjun Mountain Temple?"
Li Ji shouted angrily: "Is Li Ji from the Mountain God Temple a bandit?"
He stepped forward and said, "How can you prove that I am a traitor? I have two seals of the Celestial Empire, both approved by the Emperor and issued by the Imperial Court."
Li Ji opened the medicine box and took out the seal of the governor of Pingyuan County.
"Master Xun, open your blind eyes and take a look!"
Li Ji suddenly felt a surge of resentment in his heart.
"I want to activate a Hercules Pill card."
He silently recited the name of the system, and with a gurgling sound, as his Adam's apple trembled, a Hercules pill entered Li Ji's stomach.
Just as Prince Qing of Xun stretched his head to look, Li Ji raised his hand and there was a snapping sound.
Xun Wangqing actually fell backwards, and his head hit the bluestone slab heavily.
Xun Mei took one look and shouted, "Daddy!"
Li Ji suddenly felt that his hands could match a thousand pounds of strength.
"This Hercules Pill rewarded by the system is really useful. It's time to increase my divine power."
He muttered as he walked: "Otherwise, I can't even leave this back garden of Tongshou, who else are you going to rebel against?"
Li Ji kicked the door open with a clang.
Dozens of guards blocked the gate.
Li Ji's eyes were blazing with anger. "All of you, get out of here!"
He slapped out suddenly, and with a loud crash, dozens of guards flew backwards.
Bang bang…
Some fell on the rocks, some hit the tree trunks, some died on the spot, and some had blood gushing from the nose and mouth.
He snatched a steel knife from the hand of a guard.
"Damn, this knife is too light. Let's just make do with it for now."
He took the knife in his hand and turned back to Xun Mansion.
The people in Xun Mansion fled in all directions.
A personal soldier holding a spear stabbed directly at Li Ji's back.
"Master Li, there's a gun!"
Xun Mei yelled.
Li Ji dodged to the side, grabbed the gun head of his personal soldier with one hand, and exerted force, and the personal soldier fell forward.
He swung his sword and chopped off the soldier's head instantly.
Li Ji was wielding his sword and hacking away at people in Xun Mansion for a while, when suddenly a loud shout came from outside:
"Hurry up and save the lord!"
When Li Ji heard it, it was Li Ai's voice.
Li Ai rushed into Xun Mansion with his personal guards.
"My lord, Li Ai is too late to save you!"
Li Ji said loudly, "I didn't expect this dog official to set a trap and lure me into the government office to harm me."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Tie them all up."
Li Ai commanded the guards to tie up all 120 people in Xun Mansion.
Men and women were separated and kept in separate warehouses in the back garden.
Li Ji then led his men directly into the Xingyang government office.
In the government office of Xingyang prefecture, none of the bailiffs and constables offered any resistance.
Li Ji was shocked. He had read in history books that the last days of the Sui Dynasty were so vulnerable.
When the government guards saw Li Ji and his men rushing in, they all knelt down and bowed their heads. This was too fucking funny.
Li Ji suddenly perked up and muttered to himself:
Lao Yang, Lao Yang, what do I do?
I'm just a weak fortune teller. I think you have the appearance of an emperor. Why are you willing to give up the opportunity to grab the territory for a few bucks?
Look at how many counties and prefectures have been occupied by bandits. You have a wooden head, and I think you are obsessed with money.
He walked into the lobby of the yamen and rummaged through the drawers to find the seal.
He laughed heartily. These government offices of the Sui Dynasty had become mere decorations. What was the use of them?
Li Ji was just about to sit down on a chair at the back of the lobby when suddenly, there was a shout outside.
"Run! Demon King Zhang is coming!"
At this time, Li Ai was holding a bag and said breathlessly:
"Master Li, let's go quickly. A large group of soldiers from the Sui Dynasty are heading towards Xingyang."
When Li Ji heard this, he was slightly surprised.
He calmed down and said to Li Ai:
"Butler, the difference in strength between us and the enemy is too great. We can't defeat the enemy with our own strength."
Li Ai knelt down and said, "Master Li, you better get out of here quickly!"
Li Ji's face changed and he said sternly:
"Evacuate, where is the safe place?"
He stood up with a whoosh, murderous look in his eyes.
"Li Ai, listen to my orders!"
Li Ai placed her hands on the ground and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
"I order you to rush to Wagangzhai and ask Zhai Facao to send troops to rescue. If Zhai Facao does not come, you will return directly with the soldiers of the Danzi Battalion."
"Yes, my lord!"
Li Ai thanked him and left.
"Yucheng listen to my orders!"
"I am here!" Yu Cheng knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Notify all leaders to quickly gather soldiers and prepare to fight against the officers and soldiers."
"Yes, my lord."
Yu Cheng thanked him and left.
After a while, Zhang Shan and the soldiers of the Ji Battalion arrived, and soldiers from subsequent battalions arrived one after another.
Li Ji raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, the soldiers are coming. A fight is about to begin."
He raised his voice and said, "As long as we win the first battle and defeat the soldiers, we can gain a foothold in Xingyang."
Before he could finish his words, he said, "Report!"
Outside the yamen, a guard shouted loudly, and the man had been shot to death.
Li Ji looked up and saw flags fluttering and dust rising into the sky outside Xingyang City.
The officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty came...
