after being kidnapped by the general

The mechanical sound rang in Yuanli's ears quickly and urgently.

Yuan Li closed his eyes and didn't move.

The breath was hot, and the sound of the violent beating of the heart seemed to be in the ear, one sound after another, shaking like a drum.The boiling in the depths of the flesh and blood turned into a sharp sword, piercing through the barrier violently, breaking out of the shell.

Soon, rain fell from the sky.

One drop, two drops... The cold raindrops fell on Yuanli's face.

"My lord..." Zheng Rong only felt that something changed in Yuanli in the blink of an eye, and it became a little strange in an instant, which even made him shiver uncontrollably, but when he blinked again, nothing happened. Can't see it.

Yuanli slowly opened his eyes.

The sparks in the eyes flickered, as if they could start a prairie fire.More and more rain fell, Yuan Li's mood gradually calmed down, he reached out to catch a drop of rain, and murmured: "It's raining."

Yang Zhongfa looked up at the sky, "Look at the weather, it's probably going to be all night."

Yuan Li stood quietly for a while, then looked at the couple again, he no longer tried to approach, but said: "Place them around the Chu Palace. Come."

Two personal soldiers came out, "Your subordinate is here."

Yuan Li raised his chin, and smiled with the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Go and give the heads of those two soldiers to His Highness Chen Wang, and then tell Chen Wang a word for me, let him take care of his subordinates. Soldiers, this is the capital of the emperor, at the feet of the emperor, and if you do this kind of burning, killing and looting under the eyes of the Taimiao, doesn't King Chen take the spirit of Taizu and the former emperor seriously?"

This was said lightly, but everyone present was shocked into a cold sweat.Lu He even felt chills running down his back, as if the dead emperors of Northern Zhou were really looking at them.He rubbed his arms and looked at Yuan Li with a complicated look. He never thought that Yuan Li would be so daring, even able to say such cruel words.

Isn't that what offends people?

Isn't he afraid of offending King Chen?

Yuan Li looked at the surrounding ruins and the corpses of the people again, and said calmly: "Tell King Chen again, if he can't manage his soldiers, I, Lord Yuan Le, don't care about taking care of him."

Yang Zhongfa shouted in his heart to be refreshed!I just feel that Yuanli's temper really suits his taste!

Without hesitation, Wu Kai immediately responded, and immediately picked up the two heads on the ground.

Lu He was dumbfounded, and couldn't help clicking his tongue, Yuan Li is really not afraid of King Chen at all!

But after thinking about it, Yuanli really didn't need to be afraid of King Chen.

King Chen supported his own strength and brought [-] troops to Luoyang.But Chu Hechao and Yuanli also brought [-] Youzhou soldiers to Beijing.

Lu He, who had fought with Youzhou soldiers, knew how powerful Youzhou soldiers were, especially the three-bow bed crossbow that shot Yan Taboo with one arrow, which made his heart itch.

With such a strong force, why should Yuan Li be afraid of King Chen?

Not only are they not afraid, they have already dealt with the thieves, and they have the confidence to confront Chen Wang.Perhaps even Chen Wang had to temporarily avoid their sharp edge at this moment.

Two quarters of an hour later, King Chen received the two heads sent by Yuan Li, and also heard what Yuan Li had conveyed on his behalf.

His face changed, he stroked his beard and looked at the two heads in silence.

"Father," Chen Xi, the eldest son of Prince Chen, asked, "Are you angry?"

Chen Wang nodded slowly, shook his head again, and said with a sigh: "It's not about being angry. It's just that Mr. Yuan Le is very courageous, which impresses me."

"But after all, he's still too young." Chen Xi looked at the heads of the two soldiers who died tragically, and frowned. "He was really too impulsive to offend you just like that."

Chen Wang showed disappointment, "Fool."

Chen Xi was taken aback, "Father?"

"Where is he impulsive? He is clearly intimidating me. Just a few words can put me in a situation of injustice. He is protecting the face of the Northern Zhou royal family, and he is also accusing me of trampling on the dignity of the Northern Zhou royal family. I am arrogant."

Chen Wang said, quite admiringly said: "Smart, really smart. I only heard of his reputation for benevolence before, and I thought he was a figure who was just like Yanzhou Che Kangbo, but seeing him now, I was surprised." I expected it. Among you younger generation, the only one who is not timid when facing me, and who dares to kill my soldiers and send them to me in person to intimidate me. He is already called Yinghao is someone who can be compared with us. But you are far behind him."

Chen Xi was not angry when he heard this, he only asked curiously: "Then why did Mr. Yuan Le do this? Isn't this against you?"

Chen Wang said with a smile: "Do you think your father is so powerful that even the princes in the north will avoid my edge?"

Chen Xi was momentarily at a loss for words.

Chen Wang waved his hand and ordered the two heads to be taken off, and said leisurely to his son: "There is only one emperor. Logically speaking, it was Yuan Lejun and Chu Ciye who killed Li Li. Naturally, they should be the ones who killed Li Li." The Son of Heaven welcomes you back to Youzhou. But the Son of Heaven has already been coaxed by me to go to Yangzhou with me, Lord Yuan Le may have known about this, so he came against me."

"What's more..." Chen Wang paused, his eyes flashed, "there are only two kings with different surnames in the world. Lord Yuan Le and Chu Ciye dominate the north. We will meet sooner or later. Since we are destined to be enemies of each other , Why does Mr. Yuan Le want to curry favor with me? He is doing very well now, you remember, gentleness and kindness cannot make the enemy let you go, but deterrence can make the enemy fear you."

Chen Xi thought for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully: "Then does father really want to accept his threat?"

"Or else?" Chen Wang shook his head and stood up, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the window, looking at the dark cloud outside, "Yuan Lejun's words are too cruel, so I can't refute. Youzhou soldiers were able to kill Yan Taboo and break through the Hulao Pass in just a few days, which shows their strength. This is the north, and we are fighting a land battle, and my Yangzhou Navy can't use the power of it. One or two. Therefore, we must not tear ourselves apart here, if we do, we will be the losers..."

There was a gust of gloomy wind outside the window, and the cold rain was swept into the window and fell on Chen Wang's face.

The kindness on Chen Wang's face has disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes, "This time I am telling the truth...send someone to hold Jun Zheng* accountable, and then let the commanders take care of their soldiers, and don't let them I made a mistake. Then ask someone to send some gold, silver, jewelry, silk cloth and silk to Mr. Yuan Le to make amends, and say that I thank him for beheading two army moths for me. I made such a big mistake in Luoyang. When the weather clears, I will personally go to the Taimiao to make amends, and ask the Taizu and the late emperor to forgive me."

"Father!" Chen Xi said in surprise, "Are you being too servile?"

Chen Wang laughed loudly, "I'm taking the blame and bowing down. If I know my mistakes, I will correct them. How can it be called groveling? This is obviously a good thing. Besides, what does this momentary retreat represent? As long as I can bring the emperor back to Yangzhou..."

He didn't say anything later, but Chen Xi already knew it clearly.

As long as they can bring the emperor back to Yangzhou, they will be considered a complete victory.

There is also a Chu Palace in Luoyang, and Yuan Li and others lived in the Chu Palace.

After the death of King Chu and his wife, Prince Chu's mansion was sealed. Yuanli sent someone to clean the inside and outside of King Chu's mansion. When they came back, the mansion had been cleaned up.

It was late today, and it was raining again, so Yuanli did not go to worship Chu Wang and his wife and Chu Mingfeng, but went to the ancestral hall in the mansion to worship.

There was no one in the ancestral hall, only a dozen tablets standing on the table, and the latest one had the words "Chu Mingfeng" written on it.

The poor Chu Wang and his wife died so suddenly that no one even placed a memorial tablet.

Yuan Li sighed, ordered the servants to put on warm water and a rag, and wiped the dust off the table and tablet himself.

The surroundings were quiet, the candles were flickering, emitting a dim yellow light.In such a quiet environment, Yuanli can also relax and think about the system that has just been upgraded.

He was still a little dumbfounded.

It turned out that the upgrade of the system was determined by his willpower. If he had known this, why would he have struggled for so long with the words "a generation of famous ministers".

Yuan Li is in a delicate mood at the moment.

As if reborn, vigorous vitality burst out from the body, and the anger that had arisen from seeing the suffering of the people before had all turned into firmness, and the original haze, like a mist covering Yuanli, disappeared at this moment.

What he wanted to achieve was clearly in his mind.

Become the son of heaven and have the power to call the shots.

Give the people a way to turn around.

At this moment, Yuanli firmly believes that there is no difficulty that can stop him, except death.

The soul seemed to be still excited, and the blood was boiling, Yuan Li exhaled hot air, thinking about the rewards given by the system.

The last time the system was upgraded to the "Generation of Famous Officials" system, the reward was the weather forecast.This time it was upgraded to the "Emperor's Cultivation" system, but the reward was the world's peace, Haiyan Heqing.

Of course, this is not the reward that the system can give him.

Yuan Li smiled slightly at this.

It's a reward for him, rather it's the system's reward for the people of the world, and it's also an affirmation for Yuanli.

It is certain that he will definitely bring Haiyan Heqing's ending to the world.

"System," Yuan Li said, "is this reward too perfunctory for me? Shouldn't you give me something more tangible?"

Yuan Li was just joking, but he didn't expect the system to actually make a sound.

【Emperor cultivation system has been activated. 】

[Reward: 1 minute of AR special effects. 】

Yuan Li was surprised and delighted again. After seeing what the reward was, he asked in confusion: "AR special effects?"

Is it the AR special effect he imagined?

This reward is a bit interesting...

Yuan Li tried again: "What kind of AR special effect is this AR special effect? ​​How to use it?"

The system is silent.

Yuanli did not give up, "Can you change to a more practical reward? For example, will crops like sweet potatoes and corn be successful?"

The system still didn't reply.

The corner of Yuanli's mouth twitched, knowing that this reward could not be exchanged.He thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no place for this AR special effect, so he temporarily put it down.

At dinner time, the gift of apology from King Chen arrived, and the gift-giver conveyed King Chen's words respectfully.Yuan Li raised his eyebrows, and asked people to put away the gifts calmly, but he didn't say anything, and let people leave directly.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Rong was really worried, "My lord, if we don't show mercy to King Chen today, will he be angry and harm us?"

Before Yuan Li could reply, Yang Zhongfa laughed loudly, "Your worries are unnecessary. As for Mr. Chen, do you think he will be honest in the future? Mr. Yuan said earlier that we will have a water battle with the south. Since We will fight sooner or later, what are we afraid of now? Why not take this opportunity to scare him and tell them that we are not people who can be manipulated at will. Heh, King Chen wants to bring the emperor back to Yangzhou without a single soldier Ask us if we agree!"

Yang Zhong's hair is thick but thin, and it's not surprising that he can think of this.Yuan Li smiled and said, "Master Yang is right."

Seeing that they didn't take this matter to heart, Zheng Rong didn't worry anymore. He still secretly regretted it in his heart, complaining that he was too timid and wondered if he would disappoint the lord.

Yuan Li could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and put a chopstick of vegetables into Zheng Rong's bowl with a smile, "Don't think too much. You are good at civil affairs, and Zhou Gongdan is good at military affairs. You don't care about that." Good at it, it’s understandable if you don’t see it clearly, just learn it slowly in the future.”

Zheng Rong smiled embarrassingly, "My lord is right, I am far behind Brother Wenning."

Yuan Li smiled, and was about to speak again when his smile froze suddenly.

Zhou Gongdan... Wu Shanshi...

Yang Zhongfa asked sharply, "Master Yuan, what's wrong?"

"Wu Shanshi."

Yuan's face suddenly sank, and he clenched his chopsticks so hard that his fingertips turned white, "Wu Shanshi is going to kill Li Li, and Ci Ye may meet him!"

Yang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he stood up abruptly, "I'm going to lead troops to support the general!"

Yuanli was short of breath, and when he thought that Chu Hechao would be in danger, he felt anxious. His fingers trembled slightly, and he forced himself to comfort himself. It is impossible. Chu Hechao is so strong, and Wuqian Qingqi is not a small force, so nothing will happen to them. .

But the panic still arose densely. Yuan Li put down his chopsticks and got up, saying in a hoarse voice, "You lead [-] soldiers, and go to Chang'an quickly! Li Li fled with his private soldiers and took away a lot of gold, silver and jewels. If you don’t escape quickly, you go to support him as soon as possible.”

"Support who?"

Just when they were in a hurry, a familiar voice came from outside the dining hall door.

Yuan Li looked back suddenly, and saw Chu Hechao walking in the house with his head drenched in the dust.
