Chapter Forty-Seven: Rumors Rise and Stop
Three days later, after issuing an order to build roads and bridges in Danyang County and improve transportation, Li Qin sailed north to attend Wang Tong's birthday banquet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He saved the idea of recovering Wang Tong, so he brought with him the famous Yan Shigu, and led a hundred strong guards.
This time, Li Qin really made his own name.
In the breezy canal, Danyang Town General Li, when the banner of Hou Li of Tu County, hunted and displayed on the tower of the fighting ship. Although there was only one ship, the bravery of the sergeants on board still made the travelers along the way look straight at each other.
"What a tough soldier. Whose centaur is this? General of Danyang Town, Hou ...... of Dangtu County Are there such people in the south? Passers-by asked puzzled.
When the world is so chaotic, the news from all over the world is changing every moment, today is not the rise of this prince, tomorrow is the prince's might, conquering the city.
People hear this latest information in their ears, and as for the people of the year two years ago, it is already a very ancient thing for them.
Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world!
Although this is said to be a famous general and a beauty, it is even more so for the people on the rivers and lakes.
Li Qin has been silent for nearly two years. He has been out of the eyes of the world for so long that most people have forgotten about him.
When he appeared in front of everyone with such fanfare, only a few well-informed people vaguely had an impression of him: "General Danyang Town, when Tu Hou...... Isn't this two years ago when he beheaded Goryeo Prime Minister Yuan Taizuo and made a big fuss in Liaodong City, forcing Goryeo to withdraw his troops and sue for peace with Li Qin? I heard that he was slashed by Fu Cailin, and his life was not long in coming, why not? Isn't there something big going on? ”
Everyone said that they turned up the rumors about Li Qin, and they were quite curious about Li Qin's travel.
During this period, there were also people who held their own identities and wanted to come up to find out the news, but they were all shirked by Li Qin.
"I just went to Dongping at the invitation of my fiancée to attend the banquet of Mr. Wang Tong." This is the reason why Li Qin sent people to tell the story.
"General Lee's fiancée...... Is that? The fire of gossip was raging, and they asked questions again and again.
But Li Qin's subordinates all laughed and did not speak.
After that, news came from the rivers and lakes that Li Qin's fiancée was a famous talented woman in the rivers and lakes today, Cai Wen Cai, nicknamed "Shuqin Shuanghua".
"What? So a guy who is dying soon is actually the fiancé of the Cai family? When everyone heard this, there was an uproar: "This can't be true, right?" ”
"Of course it's true...... When Cai's family set up a academy in Dangtu, the two got along. "Rumors are so vowed.
"Okay? Cai, how can you be with such a sick seedling who doesn't have many days to live? ”
Hearing the news, the heroes on the rivers and lakes felt sorry for Coco Cai:
"It must be this guy who is strong against everyone Cai. Originally, Cai and his family just wanted to live a quiet life at the beginning, but they didn't want this guy to use force to coerce Cai and everyone.
Cai's family had no choice but to succumb to him, and then took advantage of the gap to escape and travel the rivers and lakes, so it has the reputation we know today...... Yes, it must be. ”
The brain supplement of people in the rivers and lakes is very powerful, and in just a few days, a story of Li Qin's forcible occupation of a beautiful woman has been freshly released.
What people say this time is not Li Qin's good reputation outside the territory, but the one hundred and eight stories that he and Cai's family have to tell.
At first, such stories were only spread in the rivers and lakes, but later through the mouth of a certain big-mouthed peddler, the news spread to the fleet through the ears of the sergeants who came to buy supplies.
The guards brought out by Li Qin were all Li Qin's henchmen, and they had been following Li Qin for a long time, so they naturally knew what was going on with Li Qin and Cai Wen.
They were all resentful of the lords who arranged themselves so on the rivers and lakes, and they all screamed one by one, and they all rushed off the boat to settle accounts with those who spread such a statement.
"Settle accounts with them? Who can you find? The crowd of the soldiers on the opposite side was excited, and Li Qin was indeed an old god without a little anger. He restrained them from doing whatever they wanted.
At that time, he was playing chess with Yan Shigu.
"Robber...... Kill...... Ha, grapes! Li Qin was overjoyed. Unmoved by the rumors, he took advantage of Yan Shigu's unstable moments to collect the fruits of victory on his chessboard with peace of mind.
"Alas...... Lost! Yan Shigu looked at the big dragon that had been killed, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "The main chess strength is getting stronger and stronger." ”
"Hehe, where ......" Li Qin smiled and waved his hand, "It's not that I'm too powerful, but your heart is upset." ”
"I can't help but mess up. I don't know where that kind of rumor came from, and it greatly hinders the reputation of the lord. When the Lord was booming, he planned to go north to recruit heroes and talents, and if his reputation was so bad, he was afraid that the results of this journey would not be too good. Yan Shigu said worriedly.
"Peace of mind, peace of mind! It's not that bad...... It can't be fake, it can't be fake. No matter what the rumors say, as soon as I meet with her, everything will be clarified. Now the slander is nothing. Li Qin waved his hand, but he didn't care.
"That's true, but I always feel that something isn't quite right." Yan Shigu still frowned: "Although I don't know much about conspiracy or anything, it's too strange for me to still have such rumors." ”
"Hehe, what's weird? At most, some people can't see our goodness. ”
Li Qin smiled faintly:
"There are only those who are against me, and there are not many forces that can launch rumors on such a large scale.
Now that I've got control of the Giant Kun Gang, it's just a matter for them to find out. And...... Don't you think it's a good thing for us to have such rumors? ”
"A good thing? What's good? Yan Shigu couldn't react at once.
"It's actually making a name for us. Although it is notorious, it is also a reputation in the end. With this fame, we happened to make a fortune in the north. ”
Li Qin laughed, and his words were full of a little mischievous:
"There must be a lot of stunned young people who claim to be righteous people coming to the door, I think we just happen to be evildoers."
"This ......" Yan Shigu was speechless. He is very good at writing articles and disseminating orders, but when it comes to these tricks on the rivers and lakes, he has no knowledge of seven or six of them. Regarding Li Qin's decision, he couldn't say anything good, nor could he say anything bad, so he could only reluctantly let Li Qin act.
There was no movement on Li Qin's side. Still going north along the canal as if there was no such thing.
He was silent.
His silence was seen as acquiescence and contempt.
The heroes who have justice in their hearts and have saved to win the hearts of beauties suddenly quit.
As Li Qin's boat arrived at Pengcheng along the Tongji Canal, getting closer and closer to Dongping, those chivalrous young men who couldn't bear the anger in their hearts finally took action.
The first to find Li Qin was Liang Shunming, the son of Li Qin's former boss Liang Shidu.
He brought a short and fat old man with a fierce and bearded demeanor, two young men with a strong body, a strong physique, and a proud expression, and a beautiful girl with bright eyes and bright teeth to stop Li Qin directly at the gate of Pengcheng.
Apparently they inquired about Li Qin's route and knew that Li Qin was going to change horses here and go overland to Dongping.
So, they blocked Li Qin's way.
The five people stopped more than a hundred people, but they also showed a bit of fearlessness.
"What do you want to do?" Li Qin, who was pale, coughed a few times and said angrily.
Since he planned to pretend to be a bad guy and play with those chivalrous people, Li Qin naturally dressed himself up as a sick and weak young man according to the rumors in the rivers and lakes.
At the moment, he staggered and sat on the tall war horse, holding his breath, pretending to be seriously injured, giving people the feeling that he was really weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
"Humph......"
Liang Shunming snorted coldly:
"You are my father's former subordinate Li Qin? Father said how brave you are, and I see it today.
Hey, I heard you're going to Dongping to meet with Cai? I advise you to go home. Cai's immortal-like characters, where are people like you who don't know if there is a tomorrow that can be touched.
People, you still have to be self-aware. Don't talk about it, let's just say that these two Meng Zhongkun beside me are more qualified than you. ”
"Really?" Li Qin smiled weakly: "It seems that you are kind." It's a pity......"
"What a pity?" Liang Shunming asked puzzled.
"It's a pity that your father only has a son like you." Li Qin smiled weakly, and then waved his hand at the guards behind him.
"Huh!" Li Qin's personal guards took a step forward neatly, and hundreds of people reached out backwards like one, and pulled out a strong crossbow made of stainless steel from the war horse behind him, facing Liang Shunming and the others from afar.
was pointed at by a hundred stainless steel crossbows, no matter how much Liang Shunming thought of himself, he couldn't help but turn white all of a sudden.
It wasn't something to deal with, but a powerful crossbow that could pierce three layers of leather armor in two hundred and fifty steps.
Although it takes the strength of the old nose to rewind and install such powerful crossbows after firing a shot, they really dare not act rashly when everyone has already wound them.
After all, although the strength of the five of them is strong, none of them are congenital masters.
"What should I do?" Liang Shunming sat on wax.
He turned his head, looked at his female companion Shen Wushuang who was nervously shrinking behind him, and then at Li Qin, who was looking at him with a chuckle, weighed the comparison of strength between them, and finally made up his mind. At that moment, he gritted his teeth and said to Li Qin with hatred: "Li Yuanhua, you don't abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes. We'll let you go this time. But next time, you won't be so lucky. You better pray that your guardians will always follow you. ”
As he spoke, Liang Shunming took a few people and ran a few hundred steps away. They looked back and breathed a long sigh of relief when Li Qin saw that Li Qin had not ordered his guards to suddenly arrive on horseback.
"That guy doesn't really look like there's anything remarkable." The beautiful and arrogant girl complained about Liang Shunming's reaction on the spot: "Why were you tougher just now? That guy might not dare to do anything to us. ”
"I'm not afraid of whatever! No one knows what the man's nature is. If the other side is in a rage, we won't be able to deal with so many crossbow bolts. Liang Shunming smiled cautiously.
"So what now? Did you just give up? Do you really want Sister Cai to marry that tuberculosis ghost? It looks so bad. The beautiful girl pursed her mouth.
"Don't worry! No matter how afraid the other party is of death, it is impossible to carry a guard all the time. When he is alone, our chance will come. You can rest assured, you will never let your idol suffer. Liang Shunming reassured the girl again and again.
"Brother Ming, you're so good." The girl looked at Liang Shunming with emotion.
After saying this, several people glared at Li Qin fiercely a few times, and walked away.
Everything, they thought they were doing it carefully, thinking that Li Qin would never hear a conversation a hundred steps away, but they didn't want their every move to be clear in the eyes of Li Qin, who was a grandmaster.
Looking at their departing backs from afar, Li Qin shook his head helplessly: "It's really the world's big, everything." There are both brainless fans who are desperate for idols, and there are also middle two teenagers who are inexplicably arrogant in order to please their female companions. It's really ......"
Li Qin sighed and ordered his guards: "Let's go!" Everything is going according to plan. Maybe we'll come across this group of living treasures again soon. ”
That's for sure.
After listening to their dialogue, Li Qin knew that they would not stay away. Although they are all disappearing from their vision for now, they must have another way to spy on them.
"Perhaps, tonight won't be too boring." Li Qin thought with a chuckle.
