Chapter 120 Reflection

A shocking sound was deafening, and everyone present paused.

The great general felt a huge force coming from the blade and rushed into his arms. The sudden huge force made him at a loss, his arms numb, and the attack could no longer continue. His body leaned back, and his sword was raised high, and then he escaped from his hand.

However, Zhang Xuanqing took out something dark and happened to aim at the blade. After a loud bang, a gap popped out of the blade of the big knife, and I don’t know how it was caused.

"Stinky Taoist, what magic do you use?" The great man general was shocked and shocked. The big sword fell aside, his hands were empty, and he was stunned on the spot.

Zhang Xuanqing shook his hand, which was numb and numb. The shot just now was considered a coincidence. He was originally aiming at the man himself. Unexpectedly, the flash of lightning happened to face the blade, which made him almost unable to hold the gun now.

When the man asked, he forced a smile and stood up: "The general was joking. This is not a magic method, but my Taoist Five Thunder Dharma." Even at this time, he still did not forget to brag.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: "Catch them for me!" But the new general rushed towards the two of them with his soldiers again.

The great general saw a glimpse and clenched his fists, but soon, he looked decadent again. It was obvious that he was hit hard by Zhang Xuanqing and did not want to resist anymore. However, Zhang Xuanqing did not want to be caught. His eyes flashed, his body shortened, and he quickly drilled into the tall building next to him.

With his current physical condition, if the other party has a bow and arrow, it is tantamount to seeking death. Therefore, if he wants to escape, he can only use the terrain.

After entering the tall building, Zhang Xuanqing ran straight back without stopping. Then, he broke out from the back door and walked out.

Behind the tall building is a narrow alley, and there are a house on the other end of the alley. At this time, Zhang Xuanqing used his light skills again, but because of his inconvenience of legs, he crawled and jumped like a grasshopper, climbing over the courtyard walls, staying away from the place where this is a mistake.

After passing several alleys in a row, he guessed that the officers and soldiers behind him would not chase after him in a short time. He had time to use the method of sealing the holes to seal the wound with true energy so that the wound would not bleed. But he did not dare to stay for a long time. After doing all this, he secretly left the city.

When they arrived at Xianyun Temple, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were not there. After asking, they found out that they were going to the city to find themselves. Zhang Xuanqing calculated for a moment and calculated that even if the two of them were in danger, they had already passed by safely, so they did not return to the city, find out the medicinal materials, and deal with their own injuries.

He had an arrow on his arm, and he did not hurt his muscles and bones. Even if he didn't deal with it, he would recover in a few days with his physical recovery. However, he himself knew medical skills, so how could he not bandage it?

However, after bandaging, he remembered the murderous intent in his heart when he just pulled out his gun to shoot the big man general, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He really wanted to kill the Han general at that time. After all, the situation at that time was either the Han general died or he died by himself. But when he was hit by a misfortune, he was just slashed at the gun by a knife, which just made the Han general's big sword jump.

However, Zhang Xuanqing said to the Bairen Taoist last night: "I have three treasures: one is kind, two is frugal, and three is not afraid to be the first in the world." Unexpectedly, when he turned around, his life was threatened, he immediately had murderous intentions. He couldn't help but feel confused for a moment.

The Tao Te Ching says: be kind and brave; be frugal and broad; dare not be the first in the world, so he can become a leader. However, the Taoist "courage" is not courage and courage to challenge, but courage to "not dare".

"If you dare, you will kill; if you dare, you will live if you don't dare. These two are either beneficial or harmful." Those who are brave enough to show strong are easy to die, while those who are brave enough to show weakness under the ridicule of others can survive. Both of these are brave, but they are different in terms of expression and different results.

Thinking of his previous performance, Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but feel that his behavior was wrong. Taoism's value of life is not only about one's own life, but about all life. But when he thought of this, he couldn't help comforting himself. He thought that I had said again: "Praise and disgrace are astonished, and great troubles are as much as the body." "Those who value the body as the world can be sent to the world; those who love the body as the world can be entrusted to the world", and felt that there was nothing wrong with cherishing his life.

Taoism cherishes one's own life. In Taoism's view, if a person does not even care about his own life, then this person cannot be entrusted or believed.

However, these words are somewhat suspicious of eliminating oneself when they say this.

During this tangled process, it was not until the afternoon when Master Yuan Tiangang finally returned to the observation.

"Brother Dao, are you injured? Is it serious?" As soon as the master and apprentice entered the door, they saw Zhang Xuanqing wearing gauze wrapped around his shoulders, still sitting there thinking, and hurriedly asking questions with concern.

Zhang Xuanqing came to his senses and waved his hand: "It's nothing big, I was scratched accidentally. What about you? You know that the city is still in danger and you don't want to live anymore?" Let's suppress the unconnected problem for the time being.

Yuan Tiangang smiled, and said nothing about worrying about you, and directly changed the topic: "Isn't this curious about the changes in the city? It seems that from today on, this world will be the king of Qin."

"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. It will take two or three months for the King of Qin to truly control the world." Zhang Xuanqing didn't say much, but he had already secretly remembered the relationship between the two in his heart.

Next, the two discussed the actions of the court for a while. Li Chunfeng listened more and said less, but what he said was reasonable. Zhang Xuanqing combined historical records and said that Li Yuan would add the title of Supreme Emperor in one month, prepare for Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, etc., and Li Shimin would not truly ascend the throne until early August.

Sure enough, although Li Shimin killed the crown prince, the king of Qi and his family, he did not do anything at all. He followed the duties and kept his compassion for the monarch, minister, father and son. However, in one day, Li Yuan lost two sons and several grandchildren. He saw his children killing each other with his own eyes, which was a great blow. He no longer had his past ambitions and just wanted to be an old man of peace, and he already wanted to abdicate and give way to the wise.

He would not succeed if he did not abdicate. At present, only Li Shimin, who is worthy of use, is left with a legitimate son. The rest are all born in illegitimate children and are still young. Can't Li Shimin kill a few more, right?

Or killed Li Shimin?

Then their Tang Dynasty will be really in turmoil!

This may be the reason why Li Shimin is not in a hurry. As long as he waits slowly, the throne will fall on him sooner or later. And although he has no big moves, he has little movements. Just like a group of former subordinates, they all start to take positions. Even if Li Yuan becomes more and more focused in the future and wants to establish others, he still needs to consider it.

Of course, Li Shimin's small actions were more than these. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the first thing he had to do was to reward his merits to avoid the hearts of his subordinates.

The transfer of positions of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others may still need to be passed by Li Yuan, but no matter how low the position is, he can make the decision with one hand.

This official was promoted to the third level, and that official was promoted to the second level. In short, each person was given different rewards according to their different achievements. Even the soldiers who ran west received some silver and food.

During this period, it was inevitable that on the day of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, a Taoist priest who could use "thunder method" appeared, and that person was the identity of the prisoner. He also heard that the Chang'an County Magistrate arrested Zhang Xuanqing the day before, so how could he not guess who it was?

But after learning this, Li Shimin began to get entangled.
