Chapter 713 The former overlord is back
Three days have passed in Chang'an City. During these three days, the people seemed to have become accustomed to the fact that a large number of criminals were escorted out of Chang'an City every day. I don't know whether they were to be exiled to some place or sent to a place where they farmed and became slaves. Someone who was betrayed roughly estimated a number. In the past three days, there were more than 600 people who were escorted to the Caishikou. There was no way to count the number, but it should not be less than 1,000 people.
Many large houses suddenly appeared in Chang'an City, but they were soon given to a meritorious minister from Yan Yun's army by His Highness.
No one knows how many people he will be exiled and how many people he will be killed, and perhaps even the King of Yan himself does not know.
Li Xian originally wanted to go smoothly and slowly reach a tacit understanding with the Guanlong family who were secretly capable of controlling the situation in Chang'an and even controlling the world. So he tried his best to solve the problem in a way that he was not familiar with, but in the past few months after entering Chang'an City, this method did not seem to resolve the problem, but instead made him fall into a dilemma more and more deeply.
He was not from a noble family. What he learned since childhood was how to survive, how to kill people, and how to ensure that he was not killed. He was still a little unfamiliar with the art of power struggle. Although he has been working hard to change himself over the years, there is no doubt that when he squeezed into the court controlled by the noble family in a domineering way, he realized that in the eyes of those people, no matter how strong he was, he had swam into the loach in the koi pond.
The reason why he wanted to solve the problem in a gentler way was because he began to cherish this empire. This empire was formerly owned by someone else, but now it is his. He did not want to conquer it in a purely destructive way, but there is no doubt that for a political beginner, he could not be as ease as he was commanding the Yanyun army to fight the country and grab territory.
And he was indeed a little lost in everything he had now, and was a little scared and timid.
It was Ye Huaixue who gradually woke him up in a bloody and tragic way.
With that day of killing, Li Xian finally understood one thing.
Since those koi are so proud, even if they do not have the ability to resist their rule, they still regard themselves as a dark loach. Why do you have to turn into a koi to cater to those people? Since it is difficult to change yourself to adapt to a new environment, the most effective way is to stop the idea of turning yourself into a koi, and then turn those koi into loaches in the simplest and most crude way.
No, it is the weakest fish and insect.
After Li Xian entered Chang'an City, he had been thinking about how to balance the conflict between the old Li Yuan Dynasty and the Yan Yun Army generals. He originally wanted to stand in the middle with a fair attitude, so that he could not let the Yan Yun Army generals feel heartbroken, nor could Li Tang's old ministers feel despair.
This is an extremely hard idea, and just thinking about it makes people unable to sleep. But when implemented, it is more difficult, ten times or a hundred times than thinking about it.
It was also because of the killing initiated by Ye Huaixue that Li Xian understood this matter. The heroes of Yan Yun’s army were heroes, while the old ministers of Li Tang were old ministers. On one hand, they were old brothers who followed him to conquer the world, and on the other hand, they were fencemen who wanted to gain a foothold in the Xin Dynasty with the strong strength of the aristocratic family. There was no need to balance them at all. Meritorious officials were meritorious officials, and fencemen were always fencemen.
His many decision-making mistakes in the court can still guarantee control of the Tang Empire, not because he balanced the old ministers of Li Tang, but because he had countless brave generals and hundreds of thousands of elite troops.
This is like a genius boy who was specially recruited into a university campus. No matter how smart he is, he cannot quickly integrate into a new environment. He cannot be friends with senior brothers and sisters who are much older than him, because behind everyone's pretending to be kind-hearted smiles, there is deep jealousy and hatred.
Before Li Xian entered Chang'an City, he was a young dragon swimming in the sea. He was unrestrained and fearless. But after entering Chang'an City, he was like a dragon entering a shallow, and was constrained by his own thoughts everywhere.
Yes, it is not the enemy that hinders him, but himself.
This is a growth process, and fortunately, the price he paid was not very high.
Hoping to adapt to an environment is a manifestation of the weak. Li Xian has only figured out that every time he takes a step back, those opponents hidden in the dark will step forward unconsciously. It seems that Li Xian is controlling the situation, but in fact he is using concessions to exchange for coexistence.
This is the fundamental mistake.
Maybe Ye Huaixue had seen through this, but she couldn't think of a gentle way to wake up Li Xian. So she chose to kill and told Li Xian in this way that when your strength is already so strong that everyone is jealous and afraid, why do you need to adapt to others?
So Li Xian also began to kill people.
Li Xian himself said a long time ago that he is not a bloodthirsty person. But when he has to kill someone, he will never be unable to take up the murderous knife.
...
...
The afternoon sun is warm and poured in from the open window, shining on people, and it feels particularly comfortable and warm. This kind of sunshine always makes people attached and becomes lazy. So when Ye Huaixue is lying on the bed and resting with his eyes closed, he obviously can't sleep, but he is reluctant to open his eyes.
The medicinal properties of Dugu's anesthetics were gone, and the wound was filled with a twisting pain. But the expression on her face was not a trace of pain, and she even felt a little intoxicated.
She seemed to enjoy the pleasure of not thinking about anything and doing nothing. Even though this pleasure is based on the pain in her body, even if she actually knows how severe her injuries are.
"Eat something when you wake up."
Li Xian sat beside the bed, looking at her and said softly, "I'm good at making a bowl of rice porridge. I'm good at making porridge. Isn't it very good to make porridge? Do you know... From childhood to adulthood, where can I have time to calm down and make porridge? Which... If it's not that it's not delicious, I'll make something else for you. You shouldn't eat too greasy things now. Xiao Di specifically told me."
"You've been able to do it?"
Ye Huaixi opened his eyes, and his face seemed very interested and also had a hint of redness.
"Help me up."
She said.
"Lying down, I'll feed you."
Li Xian picked up the porridge bowl and smiled awkwardly, "It's a little thicker."
Ye Huaixue turned his head and looked at it, couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is this porridge or steamed rice?"
"It looks... more like rice. But there is no doubt that this bowl of rice is prepared according to the process of the porridge, and I promise there is no paste."
"I'll try it"
Ye Huaixue smiled and opened his mouth. For some reason, there was a sense of attachment in her eyes. For some reason, she was attached to the comfort of the bed, the warmth of the sun, or to Li Xian's bowl of porridge that would never look delicious.
“It tastes good!”
Ye Huaixue, who had taken a sip of porridge, praised him sincerely, and then said pitifully: "That... tasted a little lighter, and it was bitter in his mouth. It's really a bit of just drinking rice porridge... Can you eat a little meat?"
"Where is a woman who loves meat like you?"
"Who told you to make the meat delicious?"
"Uh... I'll just replenish you in the future. If I really can't drink this porridge, I'll cook a bowl of hot noodles for you and add some slices of meat."
"Okay OK"
Ye Huaixue gently patted his hands and said, "Don't put pieces of meat, put pieces of meat, and also a large piece of meat. You can stew a pot of meat first and then put it in the hot noodles. I'm not hungry or anxious, but I must eat meat."
Her cute look makes people want to squeeze her face, and this cuteness is not artificial in her face at all.
"good!"
Li Xian nodded: "I'll go stew now, but it will take longer, so you can wait."
"Yeah! I'll wait!"
She nodded vigorously, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
When Li Xian got up and left, the smile on Ye Huaixu's mouth gradually solidified. She looked at Li Xian's departure back and saw a crystal clear thing turning in her eyes. Since she became sensible, she rarely cried again. Later, after she met the man, her tears gradually increased. Later, the man gradually lost her tears. Ten years later, she once again had the urge to cry.
"Sister Ye..."
Xiao Di sat down beside her bed and held her hand. Xiao Di realized that Ye Huaixue's hand was actually cold as ice.
"Sister Ye, don't worry."
Xiao Di tightened Ye Huaixu's hand and said seriously: "Dugu said there is no way. He plunged into the study last night and didn't come out. He said he would definitely think of a solution."
"I'm not sad because of my injury, but because I suddenly want to cry."
Ye Huaixue made him smile, stubborn and proud.
...
...
Four hundred and seventy miles away from Chang'an City, next to a small forest.
Hundreds of corpses were upside down on both sides of the official road. The clothes on these dead bodies were very messy, and the weapons in their hands were also very messy. It can be seen that they were not regular people. But these people had a strong desire to fight just now, of course... this was just because they were greedy.
The attack was a carriage with more than a hundred cavalry guards. Logically speaking, with more than a hundred cavalry guards, ordinary bandits would not take risks to raid. But perhaps the horses of these cavalry aroused the greed of the bandits, or perhaps the woman in white on the carriage was seen by the bandits' leader and was lustful. About six or seven hundred bandits rushed out of the woods with screams.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and the more than 100 cavalry showed extremely powerful combat power. Although the bandits had six or seven times the strength of theirs, after the battle, only seven of the hundreds of corpses dropped on the ground were guards of carriages.
The woman in white looked at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Sister, didn't you say that the Central Plains should be more stable than the grassland? But why are there so many evil people in the Central Plains? They want to kill us and steal the horses, right?"
"The Central Plains have just experienced wars, and the world has not yet been settled... But most places are still stable. These people may be defeated soldiers of a certain army and dare not go back, so they ran out to block the road and rob the robbery."
"Why didn't the Khan of the Central Plains send troops to kill these evil people?"
"Because there is no Khan in the Central Plains who convinces everyone."
"I see……"
Asina nodded and said seriously: "It's like our grassland now."
"It's good to wait until you arrive in Chang'an, it's very stable there."
Ashi Naduoduo, dressed in white, looked at the guards who were bandaging their wounds and felt a sense of guilt. She would not have returned to the Central Plains at this time, but something big happened on the grassland, and she had to arrange a way out. After all the hardships this trip, the guards had lost one-third of them.
After saying this, Ashi Naduoduo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.
He is in Chang'an, but I am afraid that Chang'an will not be stable now.
She didn't know that there had just been a bloody massacre in Chang'an City, but she knew that she had to send Ashina's association to Chang'an as soon as possible and then rushed back to the royal court immediately. If she went back late, the entire grassland might have experienced a massacre.
The former overlord of the grassland, Tieler, is back.
