Chapter 392: Formation (Part )
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi felt that Tu Xiu seemed to have left some clues, so he went to the place where he was burned to death to check, but was caught by Xiong Zhui and Tu Xiu's master. So how will the story develop next? Let's read on.
"What did you discover?"
"What do you think this is, sir?"
The old witch priest said sternly: "This is the clue left by Tu Xiu!"
"So what is this clue?"
Xiong Zhui and Li Yi looked at the old witch priest, who hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time. Xiong Zhui urged: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, senior, please tell me quickly! Could it be that this clue is telling you that I killed Tu Xiu?"
Hearing this, every hair on Xiong Zhui and Lao Wu Ji's body stood up. They could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from Li Yi!
But on the surface, Li Yi looked relaxed and asked, "Tell me, did Tu Xiu leave a clue that I killed Tu Xiu?"
The old witch shook his head.
Li Yi asked again: "What is this clue?"
"This……"
"What's this? This is not a clue left by Tu Xiu at all, but a false clue left by you! Let me ask you, what is your purpose in leaving such a clue?" Li Yi started the Confucian and Taoist method of persuasion, and questioned the old witch priest with righteous indignation.
The latter kept looking at Xiong Zhui, trying to resist Haoran Zhengqi's questioning, but Li Yi pressed on step by step. Seeing that the old witch priest was about to collapse, Xiong Zhui suddenly drew his sword and pierced the old witch priest's heart!
In an instant, more than a dozen fourth-grade warriors jumped out and surrounded Li Yi and Xiong Zhui.
Li Yi looked at the dead old witch priest, and then glanced at the warriors around him who had drawn their weapons, and asked in surprise: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Xiong Zhui stabbed the old witch priest on the ground several times with his sword and shouted, "It's him! He deliberately framed me and said that Doctor Wei killed Tu Xiu. I have told him many times that Doctor Wei is a transcendent and a Confucianist. He would never attack an ordinary person, let alone kill Tu Xiu!
But this old man insisted that Tu Xiu's death was related to Doctor Wei! Now that Doctor Wei has discovered the problem, he has revealed his true colors! I am killing him now to prove Doctor Wei's innocence!"
Li Yi looked at the warriors around him and said with a smile: "Sir, who are these people..."
"Ah, necessary precautions, Doctor Wei, you should understand!"
"Hey, sir, don't call me Doctor Wei all the time, it's so strange!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Wei is right."
"Then can these people..."
"Why are you still holding weapons? Everyone says Brother Wei is innocent, what are you still doing here? Put away your weapons and do what you need to do! Get out! Get out now!"
After all the warriors left, Li Yi put his hand on Xiong Zhui's shoulder and said with a smile: "Sir, your ability to make decisions quickly is really good. It's a pity that you don't know that as a transcendent, your methods must be much more sophisticated than those of ordinary people. Although you killed him, but..."
Li Yi chanted a spell, and golden light gathered in his palm. He injected the golden light into the old witch priest's body, and the latter's soul appeared.
This scene made Xiong Zhui dumbfounded. His legs went weak and he looked at Li Yi with horror.
Li Yi chuckled, clasped his hands together and recited scriptures. A Rashomon rose from beside Li Yi's feet. He pushed the door open with one hand, and the black and white Rakshasa ghosts walked out of the door.
The two ghosts walked up to Li Yi and bowed, saying, "Black and White Impermanence, the Netherworld Spirits, greet Doctor Wei!"
Li Yi raised his hand in return and said, "Thank you both for taking this man to the tongue-pulling hell to be punished! This man is trying to sow discord and stir up trouble. He is really not a good person."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhui collapsed to the ground. He thought Li Yi was asking the ghost to take him to hell!
"Yes, sir!" The Black and White Rakshasa saluted in response, then swung out two chains, locked the soul of the old witch priest, and pulled him into the Rashomon.
When the Rashomon closed and then disappeared, Li Yi reached out and helped Xiong Zhui up, saying with a smile, "I'm sorry, I scared you. When this kind of person goes to the tongue-pulling hell, the ghost will pry open his mouth and pull out his tongue with pliers.
It is not pulled out all at once, but stretched little by little until the tongue grows to the length of the knee, and then cut the tongue off with scissors! "While speaking, Li Yi gestured with his hand to make a tongue-cutting motion, which frightened Xiong Zhui so much that he shuddered.
"After cutting it, we have to start all over again, pulling it out and cutting it again, until the person's tongue can no longer grow out." Li Yi looked at Xiong Zhui and called out with a smile: "Sir, what are you thinking about?"
In fact, everything that happened before was an illusion cast by Li Yi on Xiong Zhui. To outsiders, the two of them just stood there motionless. How could he open the Rashomon for a soul? Besides, the Black and White Rakshasa would not listen to him. He did this just to scare Xiong Zhui.
Xiong Zhui came back to his senses and said seriously: "Brother Wei, you did the right thing! People like this should go to hell and be punished!"
Li Yi nodded and smiled: "Then why does the Lord doubt me?"
Xiong Zhui waved his hands and said, "I have never doubted you, Brother Wei..."
"Well, sir, the damned person is already dead. It's just the two of us. There's no need to tell this lie."
Xiong Zhui said in a trembling voice: "The last time I met the Crown Prince's Consort, she said her last name was Li, the same as her brother's. Afterwards, I sent someone to test it, and the brother she mentioned was you, so I was suspicious..."
Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "I suspect I am Li Yi from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Yuefu, right?"
Xiong Zhui nodded.
"Li Yi is my junior fellow apprentice. My three wives all know this. Moreover, he and I had a big fight because of Chang'e. I won in the end, so he left the sect and went to the Northern Wei.
Sir, don't worry about me. I came to Western Chu to help Chu overcome its difficulties, and I was sent by God. No one except me can deal with the invading demons. "
Xiong Zhui nodded and said, "Well, I have complete faith in you, Brother Wei! I believe you are the one sent by God to save our Chu State!"
Li Yi made an OK gesture and said with a smile: "Okay, my lord, you should be the Duke of Wangbei in the Duke's Mansion from now on, and don't ask about government affairs casually. Let me, your brother, take care of those trivial matters.
By the way, when the Shenxi army returns to the court and rests, we can go to Miaojiang. You won’t have to lead the army. Let others handle this matter. I think Xiang Xiong and Xiang Ying are suitable. "
"Yes! Brother Wei is right. When the king asks, I will definitely recommend them to him! To be honest, I am old enough and don't want to lead troops to war. It's time to enjoy life."
"Let's go. I will accompany you back to your mansion and help you train the singers and dancers! Didn't you say that we have to see changes in seven days?"
"Go, go, go, go quickly, I have long wanted to see what Brother Wei is capable of!"
The two returned to the Duke's Mansion. Not long after they arrived at the backyard, Zhang Hongchen actually came out to greet them with a smile. Xiong Zhui was stunned the moment he saw Zhang Hongchen. He saw Zhang Hongchen lying in a pool of blood with his own eyes. Not only did the wound on his face disappear, he looked radiant and even a few years younger.
Li Yi asked: "You seem to be in a good mood, are you waiting for us?"
Zhang Hongchen replied: "Of course, don't you think my sister has become more beautiful?"
"It does look better than last night. What happened?"
"Then I have to thank you, my Lord! You took good care of me and even prepared some supplements for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become more beautiful!"
"Thank you very much, sir."
"Brother Wei, what are you talking about? Isn't this what a brother should do?"
Li Yi stretched his waist and said, "Okay, now that we are here, you should go to bed early. I will help you train the singers and dancers starting tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Wei, you should go back and rest early as well."
"What is the Sir talking about? We are finally reunited as siblings, so we must cherish this moment. He has to stay tonight!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Miss Hongchen is talking about Brother Wei having to live with me until he has trained those girls well."
"Then bother!"
"Don't disturb, don't disturb!"
Li Yi laughed and followed Zhang Hongchen back to her residence. Xiong Zhui immediately ran to the dungeon to check the situation there, but found that the dungeon was empty. In the room where Zhang Hongchen was originally imprisoned and interrogated, there were only six sets of clothes on the floor, as if the owner of the clothes had disappeared out of thin air.
Xiong Zhui called the dungeon guard to ask, and the guard said in surprise: "Didn't you order Miss Hongchen to be released?"
"Bullshit, when did I ever give such an order?"
"Where are the guards guarding Zhang Hongchen?"
"Didn't you say they had their mission and had already left?"
Xiong Zhui was about to ask more, but he saw that the guard of his dungeon had changed into Zhang Hongchen. The latter smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to ask anymore. Those people can't come back!"
"You! You killed them all? How is that possible!"
However, Xiong Zhui watched Zhang Hongchen transform into his own appearance, walking towards him step by step, and said with a smile as he walked: "Just be your Prince of Pleasure in peace. Otherwise, if you are killed, I will have to pretend to be you, how hard it will be!"
Xiong Zhui was forced back to the corner by Zhang Hongchen and said, "I understand. From now on, I will listen to Miss Hongchen and Brother Wei in everything."
Zhang Hongchen changed back to his own appearance, patted Xiong Zhui's face and said with a smile: "That's right, you are a good boy! Then I will go back, my stinky brother is still waiting for me." After that, he turned around and left...
The next day, Li Yi summoned the singers and dancers of the Duke's Mansion to rehearse singing and dancing together. He was mainly responsible for the song part, while the dance moves were directed by Zhang Hongchen. After all, he had already taught Zhang Hongchen all the key points of the moves last night. The latter couldn't help but sigh that he still had more tricks.
When the song and dance were basically formed, Li Yi went to do business, leaving Zhang Hongchen to continue rehearsing with the girls. When the song and dance were almost rehearsed, Zhang Hongchen invited Xiong Zhui to come and check out the training results.
Seeing the girls singing and dancing happily on the stage with big waves, no one can resist the song "Shaking the Sun"! Zhang Hongchen also proposed a series of upgrading and renovation measures, including expanding and renovating the stage, upgrading the makeup, and changing the style of music.
After hearing this, Xiong Zhui could only sigh at his own shallow knowledge. He then appointed Zhang Hongchen as the artistic director of the Duke's Mansion. From then on, he could stay in the mansion with a legitimate reason, and Xiong Zhui could also legitimately enter the stupid mode.
At this point, Li Yi had dealt with Xiong Zhui, the King of Chu's left and right arms. With one dead and the other disabled, he was about to lose control of the State of Chu.
Li Yi's next target is Subu, because he will be needed to coordinate the battle with the demons in the future, so he must support him sincerely. Li Yi came to the Xiangguo Mansion, rearranged the magic circle for catching ghosts, and agreed with Subu to take action tonight.
At night, Xiong Zhui came to the Xiangguo Mansion and played chess with Subu in the study. Subu asked, "If we just stay here, will the evil spirit come to us?"
"Brother Wei must have his own way, so the Prime Minister should just focus on playing chess."
"My Lord seems to trust Wei Le very much."
"After all, he is the only one who has dealt with that evil spirit. If we don't trust him, who else can we trust?"
"Is this evil spirit really Han Xi's transformation? This is really unbelievable."
"It doesn't matter. We'll be able to see it soon. Hey, isn't Prime Minister Su afraid?"
Su Bu smiled and said, "You are upright, why should I be afraid of her?"
