Chapter 69 The King of Nine Mountains

Li Shusheng in Caozhou, a rich family, has several mu of pastoral land after the residence, which has been abandoned. On this day, an old man came to rent a house and offered a hundred taels of gold. Li Shusheng refused on the grounds that there was no empty house. The old man said, "Please accept the rent. Don't worry."

Li Shusheng didn't understand what he meant. He took the gold and saw what the old man was doing. One day later, the villagers saw an endless stream of carriage families and drove into Li's house one after another. Someone asked Li Shusheng, "Your house is not very big. Why did so many people come at once?"

Li Shusheng shook his head and said, "I don't know either." I hurried home to check, and there was no sound around.

A few days later, the old man came to visit and said, "I have moved to your house for several days. There are a lot of chores, starting the stove and setting up the stove. I haven't had time to visit the host. To express my gratitude, the little old man has prepared a banquet at home. Please come with a good look.

Li Shusheng nodded and followed the old man to the garden. He saw tall buildings towering on the flat ground, brand-new. He entered the hall and looked at the luxurious furnishings. The red mud stove under the porch was hot with wine, and the tea smoke curled in the kitchen.

The beer banquet is delivered, and the delicacies of the mountains and sea are extremely luxurious. The teenagers in the court kept going back and forth, the children whispered, the laughter was loud, and the number of family servants was no more than hundreds.

Li Shusheng's heart is bright: This family must be a fox demon. The murderous heart was secretly hidden.

Since then, Li Shusheng has often went to the streets to buy sulfur and saltpeter, accumulating hundreds of catties. Sprinkled around the garden, the arson ignited. For a moment, the flames were blazing, and the thick smoke rushed to the sky. The scorching smell in the house hit the nose. The sad screams came one after another. For a long time, the fire was extinguished. Li Shusheng entered the house to patrol, and the dead foxes were everywhere, and there were countless people who were anxious.

As he was looking at it, the old man hurried in, with a sad face and scolded, "I have no hatred with the prince. Why should I destroy my family? If you don't take this revenge, you won't be a demon. Go in a rage.

Li Shusheng was worried about the old man's revenge and was always on guard, but for several years, he was calm and restless.

In a blink of an eye, in the early years of Shunzhi, there were frequent thieves in the mountains, and the roar gathered into evil. There were about 10,000 people. The government sent troops to search and arrest them several times in a row, but they all returned without success.

Because Li Shusheng has many family, he is worried about the robbery and plunder, and he is worried every day. On this day, a fortune-t-tow old man came to the village, who called himself "Nanshan Weng". He asked about hexagrams and measured words, and soon became famous.

Li Shusheng asked Nanshan Weng to talk about it at home and asked him to tell his fortune for himself. The old man was awe-inspiring and said, "The prince's fate is noble, and he is the real dragon emperor."

Li Shusheng was terrmented when he heard the words and said with a smile, "My father-in-law is joking. If you are anonymous, why do you achieve the emperor's career?

The old man said with a serious look, "Otherwise, since ancient times, emperors have been more than men, and there are countless people who have made a family with white hands. Is there anyone who is born the son of heaven? It's man-made."

Li Shusheng was silent and asked for a long time, "How can I achieve hegemony? Please give me some advice."

The old man said, "You can spread family wealth, prepare thousands of armor, thousands of bows and crossbows, and then recruit people and horses to hire wise men as military divisions."

Li Shusheng smiled and said, "The old gentleman is only eight buckets. If you don't dislike it, you are my Wolong. It's just a matter of attracting people, but it's quite hesitant.

The old man said, "Now the thieves are rising and swarming in the deep mountains. The old minister asked for his order: I am willing to go to the mountains and forests for the king to recruit and recruit bandits. I just need to spread the news, claiming that the king is the true son of heaven, and the soldiers in the mountains will be answered by a group.

Li Shusheng was overjoyed. He immediately sent the old man into the mountain to collect and drop the thieves, while creating armor and accumulating strength.

A few days later, the old man returned and said, "With the king's prestige and the old minister's three-inch tongue, this trip was not humiliating. The generals of each mountain agreed to join their command and follow orders."

In half a month, there were no more than thousands of soldiers who came to surrender. Li Shusheng appointed the old man as a military sergeant, built a big flag, set up colorful flags, and set up a cottage, which shook the momentum. When the county magistrate heard the news, he sent troops to fight against the bandits, and the old man commanded his subordinates to attack and won a big victory.

The county magistrate was defeated, feared and anxiously asked the magistrate for help. The magistrate led a long journey, came to beg for the thief, and was defeated by the old man, and suffered heavy losses.

For a moment, the group of thieves were majestic, and Li Shusheng's soldiers and horses were strong, no more than ten thousand, so he was complacent and established himself as the "King of Nine Mountains" and named the old man as the "General of Protecting the Country". Drinking and singing every day, arrogant and conceited, thinking that the yellow robe is just around the corner.

The old man made another plan and robbed a large number of military horses. The matter spread to the governor's ears. The magistrate was furious and gathered thousands of elite soldiers again, and the soldiers surrounded and suppressed the bandits in six ways. When Li Shusheng received the information, he was shocked and panicved. He quickly called the old man to discuss it. He urged him several times and disappeared.

The king of Jiushan was helpless. He looked up the mountain and sighed, "The court is powerful. I can't fight against it. The old man hurt me." Soon after, the cottage was broken, Li Shusheng was captured, and all the old and young were killed. Before he died, he finally realized that the old man was a fox demon and came to revenge.
