Origin Chapter 606: Cause and cause
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Li Tai's face turned pale in fright. This low-level warrior named Li Lanshan was from the Bird clan. He actually wanted to assassinate Huang Di. .
"This person, this person... Where did this matter come from?" Li Tai was extremely nervous.
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "It's a long story. Back then, when the Niu Clan and Bird Clan joined forces to attack Youxiong, the Bear Clan wizard hurriedly cast a spell and wanted to move me to another place, but I never thought that a critical moment would appear in a thousand miles. Deviation, instead of sending me to safety, sent me five thousand years later."
Wu Zhongyuan paused for a while when he said this, and when Li Tai thought about it and cleared his mind, he continued, "I don't know why, this bird warrior named Li Lanshan lived for more than 5,000 years, and happened to be five thousand years old. He met me a thousand years later, and this person knew who I was and wanted to assassinate me."
Although Wu Zhongyuan's expression is concise and precise, Li Tai still cannot fully understand it. For a person from ancient times, it is difficult to understand time and space and wormholes.
Although Li Tai couldn't understand it, he believed that Wu Zhongyuan would not create something out of nothing. Since this person was assassinated after 5,000 years, it has nothing to do with him. That is, why go to his hometown."
"Go and see, I want to know why he wanted to assassinate me," Wu Zhongyuan said.
Since Wu Zhongyuan insisted on going, Li Tai could only agree and accompany him personally.
Jiudu is one of the city walls of the bird clan. It is adjacent to Jiuli. The distance between the two places is no more than five hundred miles. The two of them did not disturb others, and set off quietly, using their birth methods to go together.
It wasn't even before the second shift of Jiudu. The city lord of Jiudu was a woman named Li Baizhi. She was in her early thirties, and she was a leader of the younger generation of the bird clan.
Not all female warriors are single and unmarried like Li Wanzi and Wu Chen. This Li Baizhi is already married and is nursing her child at home. When they learned that the two were coming, the child did not care about breastfeeding, so she dressed neatly. Welcome the crowd.
Seeing that most of the Ying people had red faces and red ears and the smell of alcohol on their bodies, Li Tai was very unhappy and frowned and asked. Some people answered that there was a warrior in the city getting married today. .
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, indicating that Li Tai did not need to delve into the matter.
Because everyone was in front, Li Tai did not express his intention. He only said that the Yellow Emperor was on a routine parade, and everyone went to the morning meeting hall. Li Baizhi and others reported the situation of Jiudu to Wu Zhongyuan. After listening to the report, Wu Zhongyuan briefly said After a few words, everyone retreated, leaving Li Baizhi alone in the morning meeting hall.
Even though Li Baizhi was the only one left, Li Tai didn't say what he meant, but went around in circles and asked Li Baizhi how the young warriors who went to the Xiong to test the blood of the five elements were sent to the East What are the views of the big camp and the southern camp, and what are the reactions below.
Don't say that there are no bad opinions. Even if there are, Li Baizhi would not dare to say it. He only said that the world is unified, obeying the dispatch of the imperial court, and guarding the frontiers is the duty and duty of a warrior.
Afterwards, Li Tai ordered Li Baizhi to take out the list of low-level warriors who had Jiudu's bloodline to test the five elements, and "randomly" selected a few from them to ask about the specific situation.
Li Baizhi is the lord of Jiudu City, equivalent to the later generations' vassal officials, and the cave **** warrior is at best a small-capacity cadre. How could Li Baizhi know Li Lanshan? The deputy of the crossing warrior called over, and he reported the situation to the two leaders.
According to the deputy city lord, this Li Lanshan was from a commoner, the only son in the family. After his father died in battle, Li Lanshan was given a surname. There was an old mother in Li Lanshan's family who was bedridden all the year round.
Li Lanshan is a filial son who takes good care of his mother and a group of poor relatives, but he has just become a cave god, and his salary is not high, and his family is struggling.
Hearing the report of the deputy city lord, Li Tai sought Wu Zhongyuan's opinion with his eyes. After obtaining acquiescence, he proposed to go to Li Lanshan's house to have a look.
Jiudu City is also very big. The four of them walked for a quarter of an hour before they found Li Lanshan's residence. This is a dilapidated courtyard with only three dilapidated houses and an east wing. In fact, this is already the treatment of warriors. Civilian houses do not have yards.
The gate of the courtyard was hidden. The deputy mayor called several times from the gate, but there was no response.
Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and motioned for Li Baizhi and the two to go first, the two walked in front, and Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai followed.
It is a bit exaggerated to describe the house with four walls, but it is true that he is very poor. The few furniture and utensils in the house are very old, and the house is dark and damp, full of heavy mildew.
There is a middle-aged woman lying in the east room. At this time, the living environment is not good, and people are getting old quickly. In her forties, she looks like fifty or sixty years old. This woman has been ill for a long time, and she is very thin. , Described as withered, seeing someone entering the door, he tried to get up, but he just moved and couldn't sit up with his arms.
The smell in the room was very unpleasant, with a clear smell of defecation. Wu Zhongyuan didn't stay in the room for a long time. After explaining a few words, he went out with Li Tai. Li Baizhi personally cleaned the woman, while the deputy The city lord went to summon intermediate warriors who knew the situation better.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's ugly face, Li Tai didn't dare to say anything. When the blue-qi warrior who was in charge of the people's livelihood arrived, he scolded his face and asked why the sick old woman was left unattended.
The blue-qi warrior named Li Yong, in his early 40s, was stunned by Li Tai's scolding, and beside him was a gloomy and silent Yellow Emperor, who was so frightened that he was shaking like a chaff. Ba, only that this old woman was taken care of by a woman named Alan, who was a friend of Li Lanshan.
"Where is Alan now?" Li Tai asked loudly.
The deputy city lord didn't answer, and Li Yong didn't answer either. The two looked at each other and felt guilty.
"Where are the people?" Li Tai raised his voice.
Hearing Li Tai's words, the two of them shivered in unison, and the deputy city lord replied in a trembling voice, "I'm married."
"Who are you married to?" Li Tai's face was very ugly.
The two did not answer.
At this time, several women had come to replace Li Baizhi. Li Baizhi came out of the room and asked sharply, "But the lady Li Pisandong married today?"
The two shuddered and dared not answer.
Seeing this situation, Li Baizhi immediately understood what was going on, stepped forward, bowed left and right, and slapped each person one at a time, "If you are close to your mother, you are still stunned, go quickly, if the room is consummated, directly slap Li Pi's head was chopped off for me."
The two were beaten, turned around and ran fast, and ran not far, the deputy city lord turned around and turned back, "If it hadn't been consummated..."
"Tie him up, I will cut him with my own hands." Li Baizhi said loudly.
When the two ran away, Li Baizhi turned to face Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai. Seeing that the two were silent, she had to take the blame and knelt down, "My subordinates are oversight, please the Holy Master and the Prince to convict."
"Jiudu is handed over to you, so you govern and control it like this?" Li Tai asked in a deep voice.
"Forget it, get up." Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, Li Baizhi had just given birth to a child not long ago, so it was understandable that he didn't have time to ask these questions.
When Li Baizhi stood up anxiously, Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, "Is that woman okay?"
"She was already ill, and she suffered from the wind and cold, which made her worse, not very optimistic." Li Baizhi replied.
"Treat at all costs, it's up to you to ask." After Wu Zhongyuan said, he turned to look at Li Tai, "This matter is also my negligence, and all similar situations are handled properly. Those who have elders and no caregivers at home, and those who have children and no caregivers, will all be transferred back from the Eastern and Southern camps.”
"According to the Holy Order." Li Tai bent down to answer.
"Also," Wu Zhongyuan said again, "all the warriors and soldiers who go on expeditions must be properly protected and adequately supported by their female relatives. Those who do not follow the morality of women will be killed. Those who intimidate and occupy will be killed."
After Wu Zhongyuan said it, Li Tai and Li Baizhi hurriedly responded, and then looked at each other, this decree can be said to be the most severe decree.
What they didn't expect was that Wu Zhongyuan then added, "A frivolous molester, behead."
This added sentence directly sent chills down the backs of the two of them. If this will is conveyed, no man will dare to speak to the military family in the future, because the boundaries of frivolous molestation are too blurred.
Wu Zhongyuan also knew that his decree was a bit harsh, but he didn't want to change it. Warriors and soldiers defended the country's borders. While bloodbathed on the battlefield, they couldn't let them worry about the future. Parents and children should be properly taken care of, and wives and concubines should be stricter. Wu Sangui is the best example of protection. If Li Zicheng's subordinate Liu Zongmin did not touch Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui would not lead the Qing troops into the customs in a fit of rage.
Not long after, the deputy city lord and others escorted a middle-aged warrior back, and they knew that it was Li Pi, the bridegroom officer who took the concubine. Li Pi was bound upside down, and his face was very ugly, red and white, red It was because of drinking that Bai was frightened.
Seeing this person, Wu Zhongyuan let out a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that the deputy city lord would come back with a head, which means that he was late, and the raw rice was already cooked. Fortunately, the rice was still raw. .
Anyone without a surname is a poor man. A warrior can marry if he wants to. Although what Li Pi did was wrong, it wasn't extremely vicious at the moment, but he deserved bad luck and met Wu Zhongyuan.
When Li Pi fell to his knees, Li Baizhi first asked him if he had approached Alan's body. Fortunately, Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai arrived, and Li Pi accompanied him to greet him, so he didn't have time to do anything bad.
After receiving a negative answer, Li Baizhi took out his saber and swung it high. The reason why he held high was to hope that Wu Zhongyuan and Li Tai would be kind to stop it, but what she didn't expect was that neither of them stopped, and the sword was already drawn. She had to cut it. She used the black iron long sword given by Wu Zhongyuan. It was very sharp. When the sword fell, Li Pi was instantly dead.
"Recall Li Lanshan to take care of the sick mother." Wu Zhongyuan said, "Give Alan Wu the surname and marry Li Lanshan."
The Yellow Emperor's words are the imperial decree, and there is no room for doubt. Although everyone did not understand why he was so good to Li Lanshan, they had to bow down to accept the decree.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't wait too long, and after finishing the process, he and Li Tai set off to return.
I was in a good mood when I returned. Taoism talks about bearing responsibility, and Buddhist schools talk about cause and effect. In fact, they are all one thing. He treats Li Lanshan so kindly, and Li Lanshan can no longer hold resentment against him. Will only protect him instead of assassinating him.
As for whether this move will change history, this is not what he needs to think about at this time. Everyone knows about the butterfly effect. If you think about the problem from the perspective of modern known science, even time travel is impossible.
The third watch was halfway through, and the two returned to Jiuli. There was only half a watch left, and they couldn't sleep. The two of them drank tea and chatted from the palace. When the fourth watch was approaching, everyone came and went to the back mountain together. To pay homage to the relocation of the grave...
