Facing Li Huai's inquiry, everyone present looked confused and puzzled, but hearing the word "state-owned" made them instinctively uneasy.

"Don't worry, everyone. This is not a forced confiscation. It's about asking you to truly shoulder your responsibilities." Li Huai looked at the current situation of everyone, and his keen perception had already captured the uneasiness in everyone's hearts, so he thought

First, he reassured everyone, "Everyone, you have enjoyed a lot of benefits, but you have not shouldered the corresponding obligations. This is a very bad phenomenon. If things go on like this and develop, you may not only become a negative example, but also easily lead to bad consequences.

We, the great Chu, have entered a situation of no return!"

His original intention was to temporarily appease everyone, but it was better not to say anything. After these words were spoken, everyone became even more uneasy. However, due to Li Huai's power, they really didn't dare to express it, or even ask carefully.

At this time, the role of the leader of the Huhai Alliance, who had already been painted as a loyal and ruthless figure, was truly revealed——

"It's rare that you have gathered here because you admire His Highness's outstanding demeanor. Please give me your permission!" You Lu stood up from his seat, took two steps forward, came to the center of the hall, and raised his hands to Li Huai, respectfully.

He said, "We really don't see things clearly enough. We only care about the immediate situation and don't think about the overall situation. It's better for you, Your Highness, to look at the problem from a high place and from the perspective of the whole world. It is inevitable to be biased. Now that I have the opportunity to listen to you

Teaching, you must not be stingy!”

Everyone looked sideways when they heard this, and some even couldn't help but show disdain.

Many people are thinking, especially as the leader of the Huhai Alliance, you are still a figure and can barely be regarded as a tycoon. How can you be so shameless now?

As everyone knows, Youlu sneered secretly in his heart. He was quite happy with everyone's contempt, and even hoped that they would come more violently!

"You short-sighted people have not really seen the prince's actions like ghosts and gods. You just think that the prince's martial arts skills are unparalleled! But you have never thought that the prince already has such skills, and he is also the prince of Chu.

After all, if he really wants to do something, how can you not take him for granted? Now that you despise me, it is best to isolate me and make me a lonely minister. In the eyes of the prince, I will be more trustworthy.

, maybe he will become a confidant soon! By then, will there be any less benefits? Maybe, the achievements will be even greater than my past plans!"

Thinking of this, he sneered secretly in his heart.

On the other side, Li Huai felt comfortable listening to this. He couldn't help but cast an admiring look at You Lu, nodded slightly, and then continued to everyone: "Actually, I can't say what I taught you. I just want to say that the world is not peaceful now.

There are powerful enemies in the north, and you all should know that. Moreover, I have heard that many strong men are concerned about the country and the people, and even organized righteous men to go north to kill the traitors in the north. I admire these very much.

of."

Immediately there were murmurs and noises in the crowd, and many people looked at one person, but that person had a bald head and a majestic appearance.

Li Huai also looked over curiously and recognized that the man was the abbot of Putuo Mountain who was beaten up by him yesterday. He heard that he was one of the Taishan Beidou in the southern martial arts world and a master of Buddhism. He seemed to have followed some sect.

Coming.

His martial arts skills are indeed very high. After all, he made two moves in his hand. Although he underestimated the enemy in the first move, but even so, no one has really made a difference before underestimating the enemy.

"Looking at the way you are doing this, could it be that the person who was struggling with all the heroes at that time was this... abbot?"

As Li Huai was talking, he felt that something was wrong. The person who was entangled in the martial arts hero going north to fight against the foreign masters was a great monk? Why does this plot sound familiar?

"Forget it, anyway, all the plots in this world have a very strong sense of déjà vu, so there is no shortage of this."

He muttered in his heart, but said directly to the monk: "Abbott, are you the leader back then?"

"Amitabha," the monk saw everyone looking over and had to stand up bravely. Holding the bruises on his face, he stood up, clasped his hands and said, "How can a poor monk be considered the leader? It's just because he got news from a friend.

I knew there was a conspiracy in the north, so I went through the many passages to eliminate demons and defend the way!"

"Exterminating demons and protecting the Tao, well said!" Li Huai nodded, secretly thinking that this Samana is extraordinary. He really knows how to package things, and he really pays attention to a just and correct name. He has to learn it easily and set up a beacon in the future. It's just that this is Buddhism.

However, the teachings cannot be taken over to avoid losing the blood of the clan members. "Since someone has come forward to explain what happened back then, that would be the best. I hope the master can tell us about the experience back then so that we can know the process."

The old monk was a little embarrassed. He obviously didn't want to talk in depth, so he hesitated and mumbled.

Li Huai frowned slightly, wondering if there was really something hidden inside?

So he couldn't help but wanted to ask, after exterminating demons and defending Taoism, if there was a baby left behind, who was sent to a farmer at the foot of Putuo Mountain to be raised, and later was taken to Shaolin... No, it was taken to the temple.

The eminent monk taught martial arts.

Fortunately, he also knew that if he asked at this time, if there really was such a person, it would be exposed in advance, which would cause complications, so he had to hold back.

But when others looked at his appearance, they misunderstood his meaning, thinking that they were dissatisfied with the old monk's attitude, and immediately became anxious.

You must know that the reason why they gathered here was not because of the prince's prestige as You Lu mentioned. It was because they were beaten by the prince's fists. They were all beaten. When they saw the prince frowning, they had such skin.

A bit trembling!

So, a big man immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I was also involved in what happened back then, so I'll let you talk about it."

Li Huai also remembered this person and knew that he was the leader of the Humen Sect on the Lingnan side. This time he received help from Mount Putuo and came to help with the boxing. After being beaten to the ground together, they captured him together. I think the two sides are indeed closely connected, so why not

Let others speak.

Then the leader of the Humen clan began to tell the story.

This person is not a good speaker. His speech is stumbling and straightforward. Not only is there no suspense, but there are not many plot points to shake off the burden. In Li Huai's opinion, there are even many places that can be used as exciting points, but he has not explored them in depth.

But fortunately, he experienced it personally, so he explained clearly what happened back then.

As Li Huai guessed, the content was the same as similar stories he knew. The old monk received a message from a friend, saying that the North was planning to invade the Southern Dynasty, so he organized troops to intercept and kill him. But the difference was that the other party did have some

The action did not mean that the wrong person was killed, but one side fought, and both sides suffered a lot of damage. In the end, they both retreated. As for the orphans who were adopted, the leader of the Humen did not mention it.

Of course, Li Huai asked them to tell the story not out of curiosity, but because he had his own intention. So as soon as he finished speaking, he directly said: "What you have done is indeed admirable..."

He first praised it lavishly and gave it a good evaluation.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little at ease after hearing this.

Not only does Li Huai have his original intention, he is the prince of the imperial court after all, and now he praises him, which is equivalent to an official evaluation of his actions that year and a final conclusion.

However, Li Huai then changed the subject: "It's just that you, you were so aggressive back then, even disregarding your own safety, sneaking into the enemy's territory to fight with others. I wonder if future troubles have been eliminated since then, and whether the north and the south have stopped fighting? I'm afraid

Has Chu’s national power increased?”
