Chapter 66: Shengmen is safe and sound, and Li is treated as a dog!
Sanqianyuan remained silent upon hearing this. He believed in everything the Marshal said. In the hearts of all the bad guys, the Marshal would always be the most mysterious, powerful and terrifying existence.

After a slight pause, Sanqianyuan asked again: "General, now that wars are about to break out in various places, should we go find His Highness? Although His Highness is young and promising, and his skills are already extraordinary, there is chaos outside after all. I always feel that it is a bit unsafe for him to be alone outside."

If Yuan Tiangang, the leader of the Bad People, is the sea in the hearts of the Bad People, then Li Xingyun, the descendant of Li Tang, is the only stabilizing force in the world and the reason for the existence of the Bad People. Their existence is to serve the descendants of Li Tang. When the Tang Dynasty fell, the leader of the Bad People chose to disband the Bad People, which undoubtedly made many Bad People disheartened. However, the appearance of Li Xingyun made the existence of the Bad People meaningful again!
We must have a goal in life, right?

Take the Three Thousand Courtyard for example. After the disbandment of the Bad People, he remained loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but what was the point? Emperor Zhaozong and his descendants were slaughtered, and many of his brothers died in battle. He could not see the meaning of the Bad People's existence. The appearance of Li Xingyun gave them a direction for their efforts, gave them hope, and gave them the hope of restoring the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, people like Shangguan Yunque and the Three Thousand Courtyard were still loyal to him even though they had not been in contact with Li Xingyun for too long.

Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly at this time and said, "Let Shangguan Yunque go and pick up His Highness. The next step is up to His Highness to decide."

……

Jin State, Datong.

"Let's say the crows fly across the sky filled with sand, the stars shift, and the lights are no longer visible."

A young man wearing a red mask and a red brocade robe was half lying on the couch, shaking his head and singing the lines of the opera. Finally, he pointed with one hand at a pale-faced actor in the yard and sang: "Poor thing, you don't know the disaster is coming..."

Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Your Highness, singing opera... These words combined together appeared in the territory of Jin State. Who else could it be except Li Cunxu, the legitimate son of Jin King Li Keyong?

Li Cunxu, also known as Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, was the eldest son of Li Keyong. His nickname was Yazi. He was good at riding and shooting since he was young, and was very brave. Even the arrogant Zhu Wen once sighed: "If I had a son, I would have given birth to Li Yazi, and Keyong would not have died! As for my son, he is just a pig and a dog!"

At this time, the actors in the courtyard looked puzzled and waved their sleeves and said, "Why do you say that, Your Highness?" Jing Xinmo thought hurriedly in his heart. He had not done anything wrong yesterday, and he had even burned incense and told fortunes early today. Logically speaking, he should be safe.

"Ho..."

At this moment, Mirror Heart Demon heard a strange sound coming from behind. When he turned around, a vicious dog had already rushed towards him, "Roar..."

"Hiss..." The Mirror Heart Demon turned and ran away, with the vicious dog chasing after him. Li Cunxu, who was far away, laughed out loud at the scene. Seeing that Li Cunxu did not order anyone to rescue him, the Mirror Heart Demon sneered and circled around the pillars of the side hall to avoid the vicious dog's bites, while shouting: "Your Highness, help me, please don't let your children bite people!"

Li Cunxu froze when he heard that, and immediately took off his mask. His handsome face was full of anger as he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Give me my bow and arrow!"

Li Cunxu, from the Shatuo tribe, the Shatuo people are most afraid of the word "dog", so Jing Xin Mo deliberately said this to provoke Li Cunxu. At this time, the actors who were huddled together to watch the show were suddenly frightened and said to Li Cunxu in front of him that the dog was his child, and Jing Xin Mo must die!
The men had already brought out bows and arrows. Li Cunxu bent the bow and drew the arrow, aiming at the Mirror Heart Demon hiding behind a pillar. Seeing this, the Mirror Heart Demon shouted, "Your Highness, you can't kill me. Your Highness and I will both prosper and suffer together. Killing me would be unlucky and would be a great loss to Your Highness!"

He was still making a fuss at this time, and Li Cunxu was so angry that he laughed at Jing Xinmo. However, as Jing Xinmo was his most beloved actor, Li Cunxu still planned to give him a chance to explain.

Li Cunxu put down his bow and arrow, sneered and said: "I'll give you a chance to explain, don't say I killed you by mistake later!"

The Mirror Heart Demon climbed up the pillar and said to Li Cunxu with a wry smile, "Your Highness, what year is it tonight?" Li Cunxu didn't understand and stood with his hands behind his back, saying, "The reign of our Jin State is now Tongguang, how could you not know that? If you keep talking nonsense, I will cook you and this dog together!"

Jing Xin Mo laughed and said, "This country's name was chosen for your suggestion, Tong Guang Tong Guang. The pronunciation of Tong is the same as the Tong in copper coins. My last name is Jing, which means mirror and bronze mirror. Bronze mirrors need to be polished frequently to shine. If Your Highness kills me, Jing Xin Mo, then your Tong will have no light."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu burst into laughter, bent his bow, drew his arrow, and shot it out, whoosh!
Ouch...

With a shrill scream, the vicious dog was shot dead by Li Cunxu. Mirror Heart Demon wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his sleeves towards Li Cunxu, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for rescuing me."

Li Cunxu laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Shut up."

Li Cunxu put on his mask again and asked those around him, "Have you heard anything about Taiyuan?"

An actor presented a secret letter, saying, "Your Highness, there is news from Taiyuan that Li Xingyun, a descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty, is already in Qi State and has issued an edict to the world to punish Zhu the thief. The regent asked you to return to Taiyuan to preside over the attack on Liang."

"Attack Liang?" Li Cunxu closed his eyes and said, "Zhu Wen is dead, and the Dark Emperor is dead, but Daliang will not weaken overnight. The current Daliang is still a tough nut to crack. Let the King of Qi and the King of Shu consume Daliang's national strength. We, the Jin State, can send troops, but just for show. Don't fight to the death with the Liang army. Take the cities that can be taken, and give up the ones that cannot be taken temporarily. Get the immediate benefits to strengthen our Jin State. Do you understand?"

"It's Your Highness!"

Li Cunxu opened his eyes and sang like an actor again: "The sky is not the same as it was yesterday, the earth is not the same as it was yesterday, even if the flowers are in full bloom in Luoyang, there is nothing we can do to change the situation!"

The Mirror Heart Demon's eyes shone brightly, and then he stepped forward on tiptoe and said, "Your Highness's move not only preserves the strength of the Jin State, but also uses the power of Daliang to weaken the power of Qi and Shu. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but..."

"But what?" Li Cunxu turned his head and looked at Jing Xinmo. This was what he liked most about this actor. He was smart and could guess what he was thinking most of the time. This gave Li Cunxu the satisfaction of meeting a confidant.

The Mirror Heart Demon held his orchid finger in front of him and sang: "Your Highness has lofty ambitions. Such a strategy is very ambitious. It is just like Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong. Your Highness pretends to attack Daliang, but in fact, he aims at Yanyun!"

When everyone was raising troops to attack Liang, who would have thought that Li Cunxu had already stationed troops in Datong? If he had gone south to attack Liang, Li Cunxu could have stayed in Taiyuan, so why would he have come to Datong? So Jing Xinmo guessed that this Li Yazi might have wanted the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the neighboring state of Jin, which belonged to the Jiedushi of Lulong!

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Li Cunxu waved his hand and shouted, "Reward!"
