Chapter 1521 – What kind of lousy people are these?

Li Chengtang and the others would never be the same kind of people.

If it was during a chaotic era, Li Chengtang might have been the founder of the empire, and he might even have established a great achievement. He might really be on par with the Great Song Empire’s Grand Ancestor.

Unfortunately, the song had died down to this point. Wasn’t this alsype of sorrow to him? This chapter is updatᴇd by Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

An Zheng and the rest were not in a hurry, three thousand miles was not too far for the low levelled Spirit Demon Beasts that they rented to pull them. After flying up to the sky, it would only take them six hours to get there.

Sitting in the carriage, Monkey could not help but ask curiously at the monk: “What is Li Chengtang’s relationship with your Buddhist Sect? Why did you come when he wrote you a letter? ”

The monk replied, “About five years ago, there was a large-scale rebellion on Huainan Road. At that time, the temples everywhere took in a large number of refugees, a rebel army felt that the temple must have a lot of grain reserves, so they began to plunder all the way here, not only killing all the monks in the temple, they even didn’t let those refugees who had taken refuge in the temple go, raping, robbing, committing all sorts of crimes.”

“After Li Chengtang heard about this, he led the Eagle Flying Shadow Army and charged forthousand miles in a single night. When the Eagle Flying Shadow Army’s mounts rushed over, he was actually already exhausted, but Li Chengtang rejected the request of his subordinates to rest for a day before attacking. He said that the enemies did not know of our arrival and would definitely be prepared to relax after seizing a large amount of resources and women.

The monk said these words without any emotion, because in his view, it was a matter of slaughter.

It was not that he admired Li Chengtang, it was just that he was grateful.

“On that day, not long after the sun rose, Li Chengtang brought his Eagle Flying Shadow Army and made a detour, starting from the east side. The rebel army faced off against them in a hurry, but from the start, the Eagle Flying Shadow Army did not give them any chance, they broke through the enemy’s defenses likot knife through butter … In just half a day, he had completely defeated the rebel army of over one hundred and fifty thousand, and at that time, Li Chengtang was only bringing twelve thousand Eagle Flying Shadow Army soldiers. ”

“I heard from the monks that were rescued, that day, the people from the Eagle Flying Shadow Army all had red eyes. As long aerson appears in front of us with a weapon in his hand, he would immediately cut us down, and from the rising sun to the setting sun, he chased for hundreds of miles, and the red-eyed people had already forgotten their fatigue. “One hundred and fifty thousand rebels, over a hundred and thirty thousand killed in a single day.”

“The remaining people were also unable to escape, and were almost all captured. With Li Chengtang’s order, they were all beheaded by the twenty thousand or so captives in a temple where money was burned down by the rebel army. After a day of rest, he then personally escorted abouhousand or so monks that were rescued to the temple in the Western Regions. After they came out, these monks entered the nearest temple and he returned with his army. ”

After An Zheng heard this, he nodded his head: “So after Buddha received Li Chengtang’s letter, he sent it to you.”

The monk nodded his head: “Buddha said that Li Chengtang is the reincarnation of the God of Death, although he carries the aura of slaughter, but he can help if he sees the Buddha’s heart in his killing intent.”

“Meet Buddha Heart in Slaughter?”

Monkey harrumphed. “You’re just giving me face. I’m just giving you face too.”

The monk was slightly embarrassed, but he did not refute him.

After a moment of silence, the monk said: “Although Li Chengtang’s calculations were too much, if he died and all the reserves in Daxing City were to be used to build the immortal palace, the consequences would be even worse … When you entered the city, you saw how the Eagle Flying Shadow Army did things, but they never showed mercy when it came to killing people, so no rebel army dared to appear near Daxing City. This was also the reason why even though the commoners knew that life in Daxing City wasn’t going well, they still continued to head there, because they had arrived in Daxing City … At the very least, I can live, and not be killed by bandits without reason. ”

“So, I still have to go see the Emperor of Dazhou, Li Ye. No matter what, I have to try.”

When night fell, the chariot slowly descended from the sky. The driver didn’t dare to approach because the army was right in front of him. If he moved forward, his chariot would be instantly destroyed in mid-air.

An Zheng and the others paid the driver and were not in a hurry to enter the camp.

But just as they were preparing to find a place to rest and wait for the next day to dawn, a squadron dressed in golden armor came out from the camp and quickly caught up to An Zheng and the rest.

“Excuse me, is master from Great Thunder Lake Temple of the Western Regions?”

The general in the lead asked politely.

The monk nodded. “Yes.”

The general said, “His Majesty has been waiting for master for a long time.”

An Zheng would definitely not leak out the news beforehand, the Emperor of the Song, Li Ye, actually knew that the Monk had come. Could it be that Xuan-Yuan had already guessed it long ago? Xuan-Yuan was a clone of Tan Shanse at a certain time. At that time, maybe something happened to Tan Shanse and he was in closed door cultivation, or maybe he was doing something bigger.

There was no place to hide, so An Zheng and the rest could only follow the golden-armored cavalry back to the campsite. Just as they entered the main entrance to the campsite, they saw a middle-aged man in dragon robes walking over quickly.

“Master, please forgive us for our inconvenience.”

The Emperor of the Song, Li Ye, had an apologetic expression.

He looked to be in his forties and had a dignified appearance. However, when he looked at the monk, his smile was sincere without the arrogance of an emperor.

“Greetings, your Imperial Majesty.”

The monk clasped his hands and bowed.

The emperor Li Ye hurriedly stretched out his hands to help the monk up, “Master, don’t be too polite. I have always been very close to the Buddhist Sect and even the master knows about it … Buddha and I often communicate and are close friends. Master, quickly follow me into the camp and let’s talk. There’s a strong wind outside. ”

An Zheng and the others wondered in their hearts: Could it be that all of the people from the Li Clan are playwrights? Li Chengtang had played a lot of scenes already, and he was an acrobatic, but when he first met Li Ye, he realized that this person’s acting skills were probably above Li Chengtang’s … He thought about it, after all he was still me, and he had lived under the shadow of Li Changxun for so many years, if he did not have any acting skills, how could he have survived to the throne.

Everyone in the song knew that when Li Changgong reached his later years, his suspicions were extremely high. He felt that his descendants wanted to kill him in place of them, and the added number of descendants he had killed in his later years would probably exceed a hundred … From the looks of it, his son and grandson were still considered lucky. At the very least, they ended up dying due to grievances. The later people didn’t dare to show it when they thought about the throne. If they were to say something wrong, Li Changxun might get angry.

As he followed Li Ye into the camp, the palace’s construction was quite spectacular. After they entered the tent and sat down, Li Ye said with a friendly smile, “Actually, when Master was still on the road, I knew that you were here, which is why I stopped.”

He looked around and waved for everyone to withdraw.

Then, he lowered his voice and asked, “Master, can you create a barrier?”

The monk was slightly startled. He didn’t understand what Li Ye meant, but he still set up a barrier according to Li Ye’s words. The monk’s cultivation was definitely at the Emperor level, so this barrier wasn’t something that anyone could break through and eavesdrop on.

“Wait.”

Just as Li Ye was about to speak, An Zheng suddenly stood up and walked back and forth in the big tent. As expected, he found six amethyst s, but they were not taken away after he found them.

“For now, don’t say anything. Just stay still and don’t move.”

An Zheng waited for them to sit properly before releasing the power of time with his Fatebound Eyes. Previously, An Zheng had already been able to allow a second of endless time to flow in under a specific environment, but now, he had already reached the Emperor Level 5, so reincarnations took a longer time.

He locked onto the image of the people sitting upright for a few seconds, and then continued on his endless reincarnation cycle. It was in this huge boom, so the people who were monitoring the place through the amethyst could only see them sitting there.

“Alright.”

When An Zheng sat down, Li Ye actually did not understand what An Zheng had done. Instead, it was the monk that had a whole new level of respect for An Zheng.

“Your Majesty, please speak. This is my friend. He is someone your Majesty can trust.”

Li Ye nodded, “Then I will be straightforward then... Do you know why I made the army stop after you came? This is because I want to give you a chance... Actually, I know very well that my eldest son, Crown Prince Li Chengyuan, is inferior to Tang Dynasty in both ability and charisma. However, our ancestors have seule that our eldest son is Crown Prince, and we do not dare to go against that … “But I’m also worried that the singing has already reached such a state. If something happens to me and Cheng Yuan takes over, he might not be able to stabilize the situation.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment as they thought to themselves, “What is this Li Ye trying to do?” Isn’t he really going to kill Li Chengtang? Although Li Chengtang did fake things in Daxing City, An Zheng and the others knew that Li Chengtang’s worries were definitely not nonsense.

“I know what all of you are thinking. You all have just met Cheng Tang, I know what he will think, but what I want to say is that all of you are wrong …” “Tang Zheng also thought that it was wrong.”

Li Ye was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words: “The Great Master entered the Central Plains, Xuan-Yuan told me about it, he said that the Buddhist Sect would definitely send people over, because the Tang Dynasty needs the support of the Buddhist Sect, and a few years ago, the Buddhist Sect will never forget about the thousand miles long army that led by the Tang Dynasty to save thousands of Buddhist Sect disciples.”

Li Ye suddenly raised his head and looked at the monk: “But if we were to tell you, that group of rebel soldiers was purposely lured over by Li Chengtang?”

The monk’s expression changed.

“Are you surprised? And also very angry? ”

Li Ye gave a wry smile, “His ability to scheme is actually even stronger than mine. He knows that sooner or later he will have to use it on the Buddhist Sect, so he began to lay out his plans a few years in advance …” Even Xuan-Yuan said that if Cheng Tang is able to succeed the throne, he would definitely be a great patriarch of his generation. ”

Li Ye looked at the monk, “So, Master, do you understand what I mean?” I … I also want him to succeed the throne. ”

Monkey, who was listening at the side, was baffled. “Your family, what kind of rotten people are they?!”

As soon as he said that, Li Ye’s expression changed. His eyebrows were raised and his killing intent overflowed.
