Chapter 517: Public Opinion, Retreat~!

"Hey~! Have you heard of it~? His Majesty sent 4,000 forbidden troops out of the city the day before yesterday, as if he was going to Qinling to exterminate a Jianghu sect~! ”

The next morning.

In a teahouse in Dongshi, there was a discussion about the battle of Snake Spirit Mountain.

"What Jianghu sect~? Can you let 4,000 forbidden troops go to encircle and suppress~? ”

"It seems to be called the Seven Cultivation Sect~! Hi, a small sect~! It's just such a small sect, and the 4,000 forbidden troops not only failed to capture it, but lost their troops and generals~! ”

A lewd man with open teeth slapped the table and said mysteriously.

"What~? How is that possible~? How can so many forbidden troops not even be able to defeat a small Jianghu sect~? Meng Tao, don't spread rumors~! ”

A shirtless man on the opposite side stood up and pointed at the toothless man and said angrily.

"Oops~! Boss Mao, I didn't spread rumors~! My cousin is on an errand in the barracks, and he told me this in person~! And I happened to see the chief general of the forbidden army returning to the city with injuries yesterday afternoon~! ”

The man named Meng Tao got up and said in a hurry.

"Oh~? The main general~? Then you kid, tell me, who is the main general of the 4,000 forbidden army to encircle and suppress the Seven Cultivation Sect this time~? This can defeat the battle, I want to see which bastard is throwing our Datang's face~! ”

Meng Tao sat down, took a sip of tea, and said mysteriously: "Hehe~!" To say that the identity of this main general has a great relationship with the reason why the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Seven Cultivation Sect~! ”

"it~! Which soul is the main general~? If you kid sell Guan Zi again, believe it or not, I'll beat you~? ”

Boss Mao waved his bowl-sized fist and threatened hatefully.

"yes~! Oh, yes~! Who are you talking about~! ”

"Selling Guanzi at a critical time, it's really a bad beating~! It's just that Boss Mao doesn't beat you, I want to beat you~! ”

"That's it~! It is~! ”

Meng Tao can be said to have committed public anger this time, and the tea customers who had been listening to him before, all of them condemned him one by one.

"Forehead ........"

Meng Tao was startled, hurriedly put down the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Don't worry~!" Don't worry~! I'm just saying, hehe, that's saying~! The chief general of the forbidden army this time is General Dugu, the commander of the Beiya Forbidden Army, and the prince of the dynasty, James Li Zexuan~! And the reason why the imperial court made a big move this time and sent the forbidden army to encircle and suppress the Seven Cultivation Sect seems to be that these Seven Cultivation Sects have a personal enmity with Li Zexuan~! ”

"Li Zexuan~? Li County Male~? I said Meng Tao, you kid is spreading rumors, right~? Li Xiannan used to make zigzag plows and sell cheap books, his old man has always been kind to people, how could he have a grudge against any Seven Cultivation Sect~? ”

Boss Mao stared at the big eyes of the copper bell and said in disbelief.

"That's right~! Meng family boy, you don't want to slander Li Xiannan here, he is our family's great benefactor~! ”

"Yes, yes, yes~! You can slander anyone, but you can't slander Li County man~! We poor farmers are all worried about the good of his old man~! ”

I have to say that Li Zexuan's reputation among farmers and poor scholars is still very, very good, and when he heard Meng Tao say that Li Zexuan was the general of the defeated army this time, some people around him were suddenly unwilling, and they retorted one after another.

Meng Tao was in a hurry, and hurriedly swore an oath:

"Hey~! You guys.... I didn't spread rumors, you have to be reasonable~! These things are all inside information that my cousin got out, and there will definitely be no fake~! I'm not lying, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire~! If what I Meng Tao said just now is half a lie, you can come over and cut my head off and use it as a urinal~! ”

Boss Mao was dumbfounded, and he muttered, "Ah~? Could it really be a man from Li County~? ”

"Could it be that Lord Li really brought so many people to fight a defeated battle~?"

"I don't believe it~! I heard that Lord Li is the youngest martial arts master in our Tang Dynasty, he is so powerful, His Majesty wants to really send him to attack the Seven Cultivation Sect, and he alone can take down the entire Seven Cultivation Sect~! I don't believe that Li County men will be defeated in their hands~! ”

"Yes, yes, yes~! Meng Tao, you kid must have read it wrong~! ”

Meng Tao retorted: "Hey~! Don't believe it~! Yesterday, after Li Xiannan and General Dugu returned to Chang'an to move the rescue troops, before sunset, another 6,000 elite soldiers went out of the city, or under the leadership of General Niu, and now our Majesty has used a total of 10,000 troops to help Lord Li solve personal grudges, tsk~! Our lord is really a blessing~! ”

The yin and yang weirdness in this thing's words can be heard by anyone, some people agree with him, and some people disagree with him.

"Hmph~! What a good blessing~! I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this Li County man poured into the saint, obviously he has no ability, but he can be reused, he is less than fifteen years old, and he is in the third grade of the official residence, it is estimated that he was patted on the back~? ”

"That's it~! How can he use the imperial army without authorization~? Forget it, so many people can't even beat a small Jianghu sect, it's really a shame for my Datang army~! ”

"Hmph~! Don't listen to Meng Tao's nonsense~! The reason why Lord Li was defeated was because there was another hidden secret, otherwise the saint would not not blame him, but continued to increase troops for him~! ”

"Hmm~! Reasonable~! ”

"Hey~! The truth of fart~! It is estimated that Li Xiannan flattered him again in front of the saint, otherwise he would definitely be punished now~! ”

"Fart~! You are talking nonsense~! ”

"You're just farting~! You're talking nonsense~! Your whole family is talking nonsense~! ”

.....................................

I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, it was originally something that the court bosses should argue, but the people in Chang'an City rushed to discuss it.

And as the party Li Zexuan has not come out to explain a few words for everyone, the voices that criticize Li Zexuan and think that Li Zexuan is selfish and incapable are getting louder and louder~!

Li Zexuan doesn't know these things now.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have time to deal with it, because he was very busy now~!

"Fu Bo, you help me prepare some things, and when you are ready, help me send them to the Drunken Wind Xuan~!"

Li Zexuan went out early in the morning and came to the workshop, he wrote and drew in Zuifengxuan's study, and then took a piece of paper, came out and handed it to Fu Bo and instructed.

"Okay, young master~!"

Fauber glanced at the list and saw that everything on it could be bought, then nodded in agreement.

Although he wondered why Li Zexuan wanted these seemingly irrelevant and useless things, but at this age, his curiosity was not so great, so he didn't ask, and directly turned around and arranged for someone to buy materials~!

"Song Xiaosi~!"

Li Zexuan beckoned, and Song Xiaosi hurriedly ran over and bowed down and said, "Young master, the little one is here~!" ”

"Hmm~! You will take two loyal and honest people in a while, and follow me to Zuifeng Xuan, you will guard the door, and no one will be allowed to come in when anyone comes, do you understand~? ”

"Understood, young master~!"
