Turbulent Times Chapter 1476: The Minister of Fortune
Li Mi waited for Fang Yanzao and others to spread the news. Most of the Wagang Village brothers knew that Li Mi had gone to beg Zhai Rang to return Zhang Xutuo's body, so they took a few followers and headed for Wagang in a very high-profile manner. Zhai came to see Zhai Rang.
In the past two years, after Zhai Rang handed over the power to Li Mi, he devoted all his attention to enjoyment, and built his residence into a palace, but the various towers and pavilions looked magnificent, but the overall setting looked a bit nondescript.
Hearing that Li Mi came to see him, Zhai Rang greeted him at the gate early in person.
Zhai Rang is an uneducated hero, a standard green forest bandit leader. Under Li Mi's years of fooling around, he has been convinced that the other party is the one who is destined to end this troubled world and replace the Great Sui Dynasty and establish a new dynasty. The power was handed over to Li Mi. Although he still had a detached position in Wagang Village, he did not dare to trust Li Mi at all.
"My little brother pays homage to Brother Zhai." After seeing Zhai Rang, Li Mi was extremely respectful, and stepped forward to salute first. Zhai Rang rushed forward, trying to stop Li Mi from saluting. Avoiding Zhai Rang's helping hand, he bowed to finish the ceremony.
"Mr. Mi is the true son of heaven. Don't salute me when you see me in the future." Zhai Rang was very satisfied with Li Mi's behavior of knowing and repaying his kindness, thinking that he had seen the right person. After becoming an emperor, I was already very satisfied to be able to be a prince no matter what. Anyway, I could be a thief leader, but I was definitely not expected to be an emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhai Rang felt that it was an extremely correct decision for him to resolutely hand over power to Li Mi.
Li Mi shook his head solemnly and said: "Brother Zhai has a great kindness to me, Li Mi. Back then, my younger brother was defeated by Yang Su against the Sui Dynasty. If Brother Zhai hadn't taken me in and believed in me, I'm afraid he would have died. Today, he is in command of an army of 400,000 and over a dozen counties. Therefore, even if my younger brother becomes emperor in the future, brother Zhai will be the side-by-side king of the new dynasty."
After saying the words "Parallel King", Li Mi suddenly regretted it, because all the "Parallel Kings" in history had died miserably, and he was afraid that Zhai Rang would discover his true thoughts deep in his heart.
But when he found that Zhai Rang was satisfied and happy, he didn't notice it at all, so he almost laughed, and thought to himself:
"I was thinking too much. This Zhai Rang is just a thief leader. I don't know a few big characters. How can I know the fate of the side-by-side king in history."
Thought this in his heart, but Li Mi showed gratitude and sincerity on his face. He held Zhai Rang's arm tightly and said in a trembling tone: "So, everything I have now is Brother Zhai. So, I, Li Mi, can promise Brother Zhai today that in the future, when I, Li Mi, become the emperor, there will only be brothers between you and me, and there will be no ministers!"
"Mi Gong is benevolent and righteous." Seeing Li Mi's excited expression, Zhai Rang said it frankly, and was very moved in his heart. He felt warm, let go of Li Mi's shoulder, and then laughed and took Li Mi's hand , Said: "At the beginning, Zhai was just a bandit leader sitting on the ground and dividing up the spoils. If it weren't for you Mi Gong, how could I, Zhai Rang and Wagang Village, be famous all over the world."
Speaking of this, Zhai Rang sighed, and said: "Mr. Mi, I recognize you as a brother, which is the most correct thing Zhai has done in his life! Even if I die immediately, I feel it is worth it. "
Li Mi sneered in his heart, I just want you to die now, but how to die and when to die must be well grasped.
Thinking like this in his heart, Li Mi's eyes were full of fists and fists. The two entered the inner hall hand in hand. After the world, how to bestow rewards on the old brothers on the mountain, Li Mi said that he is extremely generous, wishing to share and rule the world with all the brothers.
After talking for a while, Li Mi looked serious, and said: "Brother Zhai, the Far East Army is planning to divide people and spread rumors, so that the brothers in the outer battalion will misunderstand that we don't care about their lives. If I pack it up and return it to others, it’s fine for my reputation, Li Mi, to be affected, but brother Zhai, a hero for the first time, can’t be splashed with this dirty water.”
Speaking of this, Li Mi paused for a moment, and then continued: "It's just a pity, Zhang Xutuo's body is still useful, so it's a pity to return it like this."
Zhai Rang looked embarrassed, and said: "I've heard about this too. I was just about to discuss it with Mi Gong. Why don't we return that Xu Tuo's body to the Far Eastern Army, so that they can hardly separate from the foreign camp?" Brother. It’s just that Mi Gong said before, leave this
Zhang Xutuo's corpse is still of great use, I don't know how it is useful, if it's just a ransom, it's fine, my Wagang village is not short of that ransom now. "
"Brother Zhai is bold and reasonable in his actions, but there is a very important reason why I persuaded Brother Zhai to detain Zhang Xutuo's body." When Li Mi said these words, his face was extremely solemn, Also awe-inspiring to the extreme.
When Zhai Rang saw Li Mi's expression, he also looked serious, and said solemnly: "I don't know what the important reason is."
Li Mi said in a low voice: "Brother Zhai knows about luck."
Zhai Rang was stunned for a moment, and said: "I have heard about luck, and I heard that people who can become emperors in every dynasty and generation have luck. Does luck matter?"
Li Mi said solemnly: "Brother Zhai is wise, this corpse of Xutuo is indeed related to whether our Wagang Army can conquer the world. Otherwise, such a person as King Qin An, who is not related to Zhang Xutuo, why is he so far away? Send a large army to force our Wagang Village to hand over Zhang Xutuo."
Zhai Rang was shocked when he heard the words, and lost his voice: "So that's the case, so that's the case, I was still wondering why the Poison King had to want Zhang Xutuo's corpse, it turned out to be such an important reason."
After a pause, Zhai Rang showed a puzzled look on his face again, and asked, "It's just that I really don't understand how this Xu Tuo's corpse is related to the competition for the luck of the world."
Li Mi looked enigmatic, and said: "Brother Zhai knows that there is an extraordinary man named Yuan Tiangang in the world."
Zhai Rang was taken aback, and said: "Of course I have heard of Yuan Shenxian's name. I heard that Yuan Shenxian knew astronomy first, and geography later. He knew five hundred years before and one thousand years later."
Li Mi said solemnly: "Three years ago, Yuan Shenxian found my younger brother and said that my younger brother is a man of destiny, but a man of destiny also needs luck, otherwise there will be countless catastrophes, and in every dynasty in the world there is a kind of person called Qi." A man of luck, Zhang Xutuo is a man of luck in the Sui Dynasty, so he is loyal to the Sui Emperor, and according to what Yuan Shenxian said back then, after the man of luck in the Sui Dynasty died, he kept his body by his side , then the luck on his body can be transferred to our Wagang Army."
