Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 123: Destroy the Demon!

Lam Son Township, Thanh Hoa Province

High in the sky, the increasing number of white cirrus clouds are slowly pressing down with the unpredictable wind, like a prelude to a rainstorm.

Although the weather was not good, the Li family, as a noble family in Lanshan, still tried their best to make preparations, waiting for the arrival of the famous military supervisor of Jiaozhi.

The courtyard in front of the gate was swept clean, and the plaque of the Li Mansion was polished to a shiny finish; in order to prevent the natives who did not know etiquette from rashly bumping into the noble, the natives in the surrounding houses had already been pulled away; the strange people supported by the Li people also put away their messy magic materials and were gathered together in an orderly manner.

It was already the hour of Si, in front of the gate of the Li Mansion,
Two rows of sturdy natives were lined up in a row. Li Li, dressed in a silk Confucian robe, was waiting silently at the door with his third brother Li Zhu and a group of chieftains for the arrival of Ma Qi and his party.

"Tattoo~"

The horses' hooves stopped, and the luxurious carriage pulled by four black horses slowly came to a stop.

As soon as the golden curtain opened, Ma Qi, the military supervisor of Jiaozhi, dressed in a cloud brocade flying fish uniform, walked down the human ladder.

Li Li, who was waiting quietly in front of the door, looked at the flying fish with two horns, a dragon head and a fish body on the brocade robe, and felt a little envious.

This is a special gift from the Celestial Empire!
Seeing that the old eunuch had dismounted, Li Li quickly suppressed his greed and led the chieftains of Qinghua to step forward respectfully.

"The head of Lanshan Township and the head of the Li clan, Li Li, pays respect to the military supervisor."

"Chief Li is really young and promising. At such a young age, he is able to manage the affairs of such a large clan in an orderly manner. It's not easy!"

The old eunuch pulled the corner of his mouth, and his walnut-like chin trembled twice, and a vague compliment came out.

"No, no, your praise is too much, sir. I am just a commoner, I don't deserve your praise. It's just that the wind is strong outside, sir, please come into the mansion and have a chat."

Li Li looked at the old eunuch's fake smile and pretended to refuse, then wanted to lead him into a trap.

Next to the two of them, a young Taoist wearing a silk Taoist robe and a double-breasted monastic robe waved his hand, motioning Qin Huai and the others to follow.

"As the great wizard who took the lead in suppressing the Wujiang bandits and frightened countless bandits and pirates in Qinghua, it seems that Chief Li feels that being young and promising is far from enough!"

The old eunuch grabbed Li Li's arm and squeezed it secretly. The force that was enough to turn gold into powder disappeared without a trace on Li Li.

Li Li was still that smiling and gentle gentleman. He held the old eunuch's hand and walked in.

"It's all thanks to the military supervisor's kindness. It's getting late, let's go in and talk."

While the two were talking politely, Li Zhu, who was wearing a dark gray martial arts uniform, also quietly approached the young Taoist holding a silver-white talisman. Looking at the handsome and celestial Qingwei Gaogong in front of him, Li Zhu did not dare to relax at all.

As a disciple of the abbot of Qingwei Temple, Dehong Gaogong, Guangyu is much older than he looks. Since the arrival of the heavenly soldiers ten years ago, Guangyu has been a Taoist priest accompanying the army, helping the army to cut down mountains and destroy temples, sweeping the fields, and destroying countless obscene and wild gods.

Compared to the high-ranking Dehong who guarded the city and could not be easily moved, Taoist Guangyu left a deeper impression in the hearts of many evil demons. Although he had a fierce reputation, it was enough to glimpse Guangyu's profound Taoism and thunderbolt methods from the side.

This time, Minister Huang and the Duke sent this high-level Taoist priest to accompany them for two purposes.

First, to protect the life of the military supervisor to prevent him from being killed. Second, to investigate the power of the chieftains and eliminate the evil people and bandits.

So although this trip is for military supervision and protection, the actual purpose is still to eliminate demons and bandits.

Although Ma Qi was a second-rank military supervisor of Jiaozhi, he was a eunuch after all. He had neither the support of nobles nor the guarantee of scholars in the court.

In front of the two real giants, Huang Shangshu and Guo Gongye, she was like a rootless duckweed. Although she was favored by the emperor, once she left the palace and was away from the emperor for a long time, how long could this favor last?
Of course the old eunuch knew all these tricks, but he was too old to even lift a knife. If he didn't try, would he really have to drag his broken body to face his ancestors?
"Chief Li, I'm sure you have guessed the purpose of our visit. Yes, we are here to follow the imperial decree to collect taxes and raise annual tribute in Jiaozhi. I wonder if the Li family has made any preparations?"

"If you have any request, just tell me directly. I, Li Li, will do my best and will never make it difficult for you."

Hearing this, the old eunuch's momentum softened. He looked at the smiling Li Li and slowly prepared to extort money from him.

"The wealth of the Li people in Lanshan is well known, even I, a foreign official who has just arrived in Jiaozhi, have heard of it. Now, in order to celebrate Jiaozhi's return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty for ten years and to prepare for the emperor's sixtieth birthday, we would like to ask all the chieftains and clan leaders for help. I am sure that the Li clan leader will not refuse this small request, right?"

Preparing for your 60th birthday four years in advance, how dare you, an old thing, say that?

Li Li complained in his heart, but he looked at the old eunuch calmly with a very respectful expression.

"I wonder if the military supervisor has the approval of the minister and the duke for this trip? Can I have a look?"

"Our trip is specially authorized by the Emperor, why do we need the approval of the three departments?!"

The old eunuch snorted coldly, and thunder exploded, knocking several servants unconscious on the spot.

"Wouldn't it be a great honor for me to see the emperor's imperial edict? If I could really see the emperor's imperial handwriting with my own eyes, I would definitely add luster to this birthday banquet even if I had to spend all my money!"

The old eunuch looked at Li Li, who was sincere and heartfelt, and felt angry.

He really had the emperor's imperial edict, but he couldn't produce it because the contents of the edict had nothing to do with what he wanted to do.

"The emperor ordered us to act according to our own will. Why doesn't Chief Li believe it?"

Li Li looked at the mighty flying fish on the old eunuch's body that seemed to be alive and the bright yellow imperial edict with dragon pattern in his hands, and a trace of desire appeared in his eyes.

Just as he was about to reach out to take it, the imperial edict was taken away by the old eunuch.

The old eunuch curled his lips and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"We are here on the orders of the Emperor, so we will not deceive you. Now that you have read the imperial edict, Chief Li, can you cooperate with the Emperor?"

The old eunuch had a stern expression on his face, and there was a deep chill in his tone when he finished speaking.

Li Li felt a little sorry when he saw the imperial edict flash by. Then he shook his head and said quietly, ignoring the murderous look of the old eunuch:
"There are five rivers crisscrossing the Lanshan area, and there are hills everywhere, so there is not much arable land. Looking at Qinghua, the Lanshan area is already fertile land. The chieftains in various places are struggling to survive, so how can our Li people have extra wealth? The military supervisor has been in the deep palace for a long time and does not know the suffering of the people, but as the head of the clan, I cannot ignore the feelings of my clan members.

But the emperor is about to die, and I, a commoner, should do my best. I am stupid, but after thinking about it, I think there is only one way to solve this problem. "

The old eunuch looked at the eloquent Li Li, laughed out of anger, and lightly pointed his finger at the head of the wealthy family.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Not far away, Qin Huai was leaning on a dragon-bearing spear, the red tassel wrapped around the tip of the spear fluttering in the wind, the increasingly dense horsetail clouds covered the blue sky, and the howling southeast wind brought the foaming waves to the river bank. The strong natives with complete weapons and armor surged around the Li people like a wave, and the evil demons who couldn't wait to kill had also prepared their butcher knives, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Li Li came up to the old eunuch, stared at his shriveled forehead, and said something with a smile.

"Can I borrow your great head?"

Before he finished his words, a light palm reached the old eunuch's neck as if without any strength, and was about to tear off the old man's shriveled head.

"What a pity, our beautiful head——"

Fists collided, metal clashed, and the gusts of air between the two men shattered the floor tiles beneath their feet.

"You little brat, can't you catch it!"

The words came out one by one, and with every word the old eunuch's flesh and blood became fuller and his stature became taller by an inch.

When the old man finished speaking, the skinny old man disappeared, and was replaced by a tall warrior with muscular body that made his flying fish suit bulge out.

The wind was howling and there were muffled thunder in the sky.

"Really? I don't think so."

Li Li, who was slightly shocked, also unbuttoned his Confucian robe, revealing his bare upper body and the tattoos covering almost every inch of his skin. A terrifying aura rose from the two of them, turning the surroundings into a deserted place.

Gravel flew everywhere, tables and chairs shattered, and the two men collided with each other again.

...

Almost at the moment when Li Li took action, Qin Huai heard a prompt in his ears that an additional Yamabu event had been triggered.

Without hesitation, he took a step forward, and the bright silver spear instantly extended, arriving in front of the chieftain on the opposite side in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps they did not expect Qin Huai to be so decisive. A native with a necklace of animal teeth hanging around his neck was unable to dodge and was ripped open by the bright silver spear before he could retreat.

Before Qin Huai could thrust his spear again, a blade appeared out of nowhere on his back.

"Ding!"

The flying needle collided with the blade. Qin Huai flared his ears, leaned forward, and kicked at the invisible gecko.

He spun around, and the heavy silver spear danced on his back, forcing back the young and strong natives who wanted to get closer.

As the spears swept across the eight directions, Qin Huai also had a full view of the battle situation at this time.

"A glimpse, open!"

Deep in the hall, two sturdy little giants were fighting each other. The surrounding floor and beams were already pitted by the energy of the two men.

The young Taoist with a calm face was being harassed by Li Zhu who was wearing gray clothes. However, seeing Guangyu's nonchalant look, it was estimated that it would not be difficult to deal with this gray-clothed warrior.

The burly monk Zhiwei was being besieged by two monks, one big and one small. One was the Siamese black monk that Qin Huai had met last night, and the other was an obese monk who was three times taller than Zhiwei.

The person from the Ministry of Justice had been guarding the old man closely. The flying needle just now was the help he provided because he sensed that Qin Huai was in danger and was worried.

Dense and numerous messages suddenly popped up, about to burst Qin Huai's eyes.

"rise!"

As an old voice sounded, the Feng Shui arrangement that the Li people had spent so much effort to arrange finally showed its fangs.

Suddenly, the entire Li family mansion was like a detachable building block. Under the increasingly dark and gray ink clouds, with the help of the residual light and darkness, the courtyard walls, houses, plants... the same objects and scenes were pulled into a series of phantom wonders.

Under the careful arrangement of the ghost master with the help of the right time, right place and right people, the same scenery and objects were changed and rearranged. Under the change of form and situation, the six senses and five senses of the people were distorted. At this time, no matter how many people and objects there were in the yard, they could only see themselves and the opponents specially arranged by the ghost master.

The battlefield was divided.

Qin Huai turned around and saw that there were only four figures, some fat, some thin, some tall, and some short, left in the wide courtyard. All the others had disappeared.

The Five Poisons? That's a bit troublesome.

The green light in Qin Huai's eyes flickered, burning like a jumping wildfire.

Qin Huai looked at the others who were at ease through the illusion, and some enlightenment came to his mind.

Are you treating me as a soft persimmon and trying to find an advantage from me?

He glanced at the gecko that was bending down and looking for opportunities around him. Qin Huai ignored him and focused his attention on the centipede wizard that was rushing over here.

More than a hundred swords and feet were intertwined, and the dark golden scimitars chopped and slashed, and the tall and thin native centipede arrived in front of the Dragon Gallbladder Spear.

The gecko, which had not moved all this time, quickly jumped up, and its sharp dagger and bloody long tongue attacked silently, attacking Qin Huai's back and crown.

Qin Huai turned his head sideways, twisted the spear in his hand, and smashed it towards the centipede wizard's head with unparalleled force.

The long blood-red tongue pierced into the air, and just as the dagger was about to reach his body, the imperceptible sharp water line suddenly moved backwards!
The blue and white water line cut towards the gecko's neck. Seeing that the dagger had reached Qin Huai's back, the gecko had to stop, withdraw the knife and defend himself. Illusionary fine scales appeared on his body.

A few strands of hair fluttered down, and the broken clouds shattered a layer of scales. The gecko was entangled with the ever-changing broken clouds, and it was difficult to separate them for a while.

"Ok!"

A painful groan was heard, and the crossed centipede swords blocked the dragon's gall spear, but the price was a "crackling" sound from the legs that could not bear the weight.

He casually drew back the Dragon Gallbladder Spear, his face changed, and he put on a dramatic face. Qin Huai multitasked, and with the help of the strong wind from the sky, he wrapped a layer of cyan gold wind blade around the bright silver spear head.

Qin Huai caught a glimpse of the flying black water and red fire, and he gathered his energy in his dantian and suddenly shouted loudly!
"kill!"

The next moment, the gun in his hand turned into falling snow, and the wind whistled and the silver light continued for thousands of times.

The black water and the white sword are clearly separated; the fireworks are brilliant all over the sky.

Large-scale group battles are a little difficult to write. Let me think of a way.
