Chapter 209
"Have you heard? Fighting broke out near Suye City!" In a restaurant, at a dining table, a failed scholar in a green shirt shared the latest battle intelligence with his friends.
"It really broke out?" One friend clearly did not believe it, "Would that group of cowards in the court of North Chu Dynasty dare to move troops against Great Yan?"
"Don't not believe it, my aunt's nephew's friend serves in the army and this is the news he leaked." The scholar in green shirt scoffed, "It is said that the hawks currently dominate the North Chu court and the overall sentiment is just one word: fight! Whether it can win or not, fight first, talk later."
"If you fight so recklessly and lose, what will you do?" Another friend fell into deep thought and seriously analyzed the current situation, "I got the news that it's not just Great Yan that has malicious intentions against North Chu, Xuanqin and Yan Han are also coveting North Chu. In this situation, what's the point of just fighting Great Yan alone?"
"Ha ha! Fight, that's what we should do! We should have fought long ago! Fight Great Yan first, then fight Xuanqin, then fight Yan Han!" The scholar in green shirt said coldly,
"Ever since General Li Konghe passed away, it seems like the entire backbone of North Chu has collapsed with him. In such a vast North Chu, they can't even find a hot-blooded man. Hesitating back and forth, not daring to fight this, not daring to fight that, a bunch of cowards, why don't they just die!"
When he spoke of his anger, he picked up the wine on the table and couldn't help drinking two big cups.
"Brother Zhao, don't get excited..." Another friend dissuaded him and stopped his wine glass, speaking gently,
"General Li was the cornerstone of our North Chu's founding. After his death, North Chu was indeed injured. Otherwise those villains wouldn't dare have ideas about North Chu. But it doesn't matter, North Chu only needs to recuperate for two years, Little General Li and Little Little General Li will naturally stand up. Also, there is still General Xiang in the north to support..."
Before he could finish persuading, the scholar in green suddenly became more excited, slapped the table, stood up, pointed at the ceiling and scolded:
"Little General Li? Little Little General Li? Oh, I really thank heaven, why haven't they died yet?!! That Li Shiwen is also guarding the border, does he have that ability? He can't defend it, he doesn't have that ability. Still calling himself general, Little Little General? I spit! I knew long ago that he was just a prodigal son relying on his ancestors' blessings. His Majesty should have dismissed him long ago!"
"You said, he can't even defend the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, what else can he do?" Speaking of this, he thought of the dangerous situation at the border, thought of the survival of the country, thought of the muddle-headed court, thought of the future of the country, and couldn't help crying,
"He allowed the beasts in the Hengduan Mountains to rush out, causing tens of thousands of deaths and injuries to the common people! The Tian Ce Army was completely wiped out! Dismissal? Just dismissal?! I think Li Shiwen should be beheaded to apologize! How dare he still live in this world! Has he been fair to us? Fair to the dead commoners? Fair to the loyal and devoted officers and soldiers of the Tian Ce Army who fought for the country and family?"
Although he knew that there were not some ordinary ferocious birds and beasts in the Hengduan Mountains, but the elite army of North Chu still could not defend it and so many people died, so he felt that Li Shiwen was a criminal, a criminal of North Chu.
When it came to the Tian Ce Army and the border residents, his friend did not know what to say...
"Bang!" At this moment, there was suddenly a loud slap on the table next door, attracting the attention of several people here. They saw that the girl at that table stood up.
Seeing this situation, the few righteous and indignant young men looked at each other with a hint of a smile and pride on their mouths.
A girl as beautiful as a fairy came to the neighboring table. As cultured and knowledgeable literati, how to attract the girl's attention?
Their choice was to perform enthusiastically, wield their power, and point out national affairs!
Sure enough, they attracted the girl's attention, and they were naturally proud and arrogant. The scholar in green was even more aggrieved.
"Speaking of that Little General Li, he is also a son of a dog father..."
However, they did not know the identity of the girl they met by chance in this restaurant at all.
Li Shiwen was her brother, Little General Li was her father, Li Konghe was her grandfather.
So these people were scolding her brother in front of her, and after scolding her brother they were still not happy and wanted to scold her father too. And they still wanted to win her heart like this.
Li Shiyin still hasn't made a move to teach them a lesson. It was because she had been silently reciting in her heart the words "composure, caution, carefulness, calmness" and so on that her master had always taught her.
When she stood up, her apricot eyes were just frostily glaring coldly at those few ambitious but ignorant and shallow useless people, then she took out a gold bar, threw it on the dining table, and left.
"Hmm?" Seeing that gold bar, the scholar in green was even more excited. It turned out that not only was this girl enchantingly gorgeous, she could also throw money around casually. Then she must not be of low status. It seemed that this was Zhao's chance to succeed and become prominent!
Seeing the girl walking towards the restaurant stairs, he hurriedly raised his voice and continued: "Li Shiwen is the sinner of the state, and that so-called Little General Li is even more mediocre in talent and low in ability. From this it can be inferred that Li Konghe was so so..."
When he said this, Li Shiyin had just walked to the stairs and suddenly stopped without going downstairs. Seeing this, he was overjoyed in his heart.
Li Shiyin turned around and asked him seriously, "Do you know my name?"
Her voice was really crisp. The scholar in green thought to himself that he should maintain his composure, not look at Li Shiyin, just glance at her with the corner of his eyes, smiled with grace and said, "Why are you so strange, little girl? Why should I know your name for no reason?"
Li Shiyin ignored his false pretense and said directly, "My surname is Li..."
The scholar in green felt something was wrong.
"My name is Shiyin."
"Li Shiyin?" This scholar in green had some brains. He thought of a certain possibility, shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked towards the girl.
He then saw the girl raise her slender jade hand towards them, bright starlight burst out of her cute little palm, and then...
"No!" The scholar in green screamed in horror.
Countless thin fragmented star swords qi burst out from Li Shiyin's palm, and these qi were shot towards those few literati like rays of light...
The sword qi came and went instantly. She turned around and went downstairs.
Leaving only one sentence: "I am Li Shiwen's sister, Li Konghe's granddaughter, if you are not convinced you can come and find me in Danyang, or petition in the palace."
These shocked scholars couldn't help twitching their bodies unconsciously, then their clothes turned into dust falling to the ground, revealing the white and tender skin inside. They then felt pain on their faces and looked at each other, seeing the words "mediocrity" on each other's faces.
Li Shiyin judged them as mediocrities.
This was a certain city within North Chu, perhaps still two to three hours away by sword flight from the capital Danyang.
Li Shiyin left Daojian Gate in the morning and flew following the map Qin Ran gave her, all the way until noon, just passing by this city.
It was time for lunch, so she landed from the air and found this high-end restaurant in the city. She ordered a table of fine cuisine.
She was originally enjoying the fine food. She didn't expect to hear those scholars criticizing the times and scolding Li Shiwen over there while eating...
Li Shiyin was still angry when she left the restaurant. She should have stabbed them twice with her sword. But she then remembered they said Li Shiwen was interrogated for the incident at the Hengduan Mountains, and became worried. She hurriedly summoned her sword and rushed to Danyang.
The few naked scholars saw Li Shiyin flying away on her sword through the window, and couldn't help but look at each other, even more fearful in their hearts.
Since when did the Li family have a sword immortal?
