The master bookkeeper listened to her words, frowned, and patted his head. "Oh no, they're in a hurry to destroy these things, and it looks like they're going to do it soon."

Soon, they took a group of soldiers and surrounded the cave. At the top of the cave, there are many black wooden chests, neatly stacked aside.

A few enemy soldiers over there, with bows and crossbows, looked at the encirclement and shot at it. After a few clicks, the arrow shot on the ground and stood upright.

The soldiers rushed up quickly, and the enemy soldiers quickly disappeared. Liu Yichen looked around vigilantly, looking at the pile of boxes in a daze.

"This place is so steep, and I don't know how many people will move it down." As he pondered, the wooden box burst into flames.

Song Zhiyao saw that something was wrong over there, and hugged Liu Yichen. The two of them rolled and went down. With a bang, the box shattered into charcoal.

Soldiers rushed forward to protect the two. Liu Yichen looked over there, recalled everything in the morning, and understood the problem.

"It seems that this place has been hollowed out early, and we can only go to the next place, and maybe there will be an ambush, but we can only do this."

The master bookkeeper led them to Linxian. The city gate over there has long been tightly sealed. The enemy soldiers, fully armed, stood there.

Liu Yichen thought in his heart, he couldn't startle the snake. "We pretended to be ordinary people, quietly passed, walked to the military horse farm, and then thought about the next step."

A few of them, dressed in short cloth clothes and carrying a load of dates, went to the city gate. A few enemy soldiers over there, with spears.

"What for?" The enemy soldier shouted. "Don't you know that martial law is in this city? The people have gone out with them, how can they have money to buy any dates? ”

Liu Yichen immediately made a decision and said with a smile. "Uncle, the little ones, it's just for the governor of the city, where to sell anything to the people?"

Then he reached over and pulled out a string of stinking rusty copper coins. "It's not easy for us, uncle, be considerate, we are all sensible."

Those few enemy soldiers grabbed the copper coins, but pushed a few people back. "It's really interesting, if King Ling doesn't come, even if he is the county commander, he won't be able to open the door."

Song Zhiyao stepped back and looked inside the city gate. There are many huge boulders piled up inside, as well as hundreds of iron ladders.

"They're going to have to make a big move." Song Zhiyao thought of this and pulled Liu Yichen. "Thank you all military masters, it's the boss of our family who doesn't have long eyes."

They left the city gate and walked out into the thick grass in the distance. "What is it?" Liu Yichen asked the master book. "It's better to go in and grab it."

Before the master book could speak, Song Zhiyao said. "Xianggong, this is the next policy, why don't we go to the pond first and find a way to fish."

The master bookkeeper also continued. "Fifty percent of the account books have been sunk, let them see the light of day again, and report directly to the emperor."

Liu Yichen looked at the distance and the enemy soldiers were constantly stamping their military tents. And at the main road, horses were placed, and trenches were dug.

"It's not the way to go." Liu Yichen thought. "Only when you go to the last place, try your luck, and then send a letter to the emperor immediately."

They took a group of soldiers and ran to the water's edge. There were scattered pebbles and muddy shallows, and the wind blew and lush reeds floated.

Liu Yichen looked at the main book and asked solemnly. "Is there really a ledger here? Just be fast, otherwise, then it's really dangerous. ”

The master turned his head and said with a smile. "Adult, how dare the little one lie? Go down and dig up the mud, and there will be a ledger. ”

The soldiers, with their shovels, dug hard at the soil. It took them a long time, and a lot of effort, to dig up a little.

Song Zhiyao and the master bookkeeper, the two of them sat in the back to rest. "It's just a pity that I didn't save your lover, I'm really sorry."

Listening to her words, the master book let out a wry smile. "It's already in the past, what's the good of saying more? The villain just hopes that the ancient Buddha will be green all day long. ”

Song Zhiyao looked at his sad look and enlightened. "There are six reincarnations between heaven and earth, everything has its own reason, maybe, she is watching you in the sky."

The more she spoke, the more sad the master book became. "In the past, when I was in the capital, I met countless women, but I didn't know how to cherish them, so I returned to this Tanzhou."

Song Zhiyao looked at him with such a vicissitudes of life, and it seemed that there was still a story. "I was cheated of countless money by the fireworks woman, thanks to the shopkeeper of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, I was sent back with a plate."

Hearing this, Song Zhiyao stared at her eyes and asked in a low voice. "My father's surname is Song, isn't he my father?" The master turned around and said in surprise.

"So you're the daughter of the Song Mansion?" Song Zhiyao nodded and replied. "It's the little girl, Song Zhiyao, and my sister has reached Bliss."

At this time, Liu Yichen looked over there, and he had already dug five or six zhang deep, but he still found nothing. "How so? Brother, I'm afraid I'm not mistaken. ”

The master book turned his head and looked at Liu Yichen. "My lord, the ledger is not here, it's on the island in the distance, over there, the small one is guarded."

Listening to his words, Liu Yichen felt that he was being teased again. "Isn't it a trap? Just like that, it's worth trying again. ”

They got on wooden boats and headed for the island in the distance. Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen, the two of them sat in the cabin below with the main bookkeeper.

"Xianggong, this brother, I didn't expect to have an old friendship with my father, and I also received the favor of my father." Song Zhiyao said proudly to Liu Yichen.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, the face of the master bookkeeper became red and blue, and he was very ashamed in his heart, and after a long time, he said.

"My lord, in fact, the little one, at the beginning, I got on King Ling's ship, and he promised me that if it was done, I would be crowned with thousands of acres of fertile land, and I would be honored and honored."

Liu Yichen looked at his expression and felt that there was more hidden in his heart. "In this way, King Ling had a premeditated plan to send troops to start an incident."

The master bookkeeper lowered his head, was stunned for a long time, brushed the bun on his head, and looked around. "Those who include taxes are on that boat."

At this time, the wind and waves sounded, and a few of them chatted for a long time. "It turns out that what the old county king said is that those thieves have found him."

Liu Yichen also understands that after so many years, this relationship is so intertwined and complicated. "I don't need to talk about the past."

They went up to the island together, with a solid brick house on top of it, and two fishermen flashed out on one side. "Lord Bookkeeper, it's finally here, and the little one is waiting for a hard time."

The master bookkeeper waved his hand and said to them. "This is the royal brother of the dynasty, who sorted out those account books and transported them to the shore together."

Those fishermen, too, felt wrong. But I still helped him move. The heavy yellowed paper, piled up all over the cabin, the hull of the ship was draught.

Liu Yichen flipped through the ledgers and looked at the details of a note on the top. "It turns out that every year the money collected has a sum to support such thieves."

He took out the letter from his bosom and added several more strokes. "In this way, the emperor will inevitably agree, those anti-thieves don't have the courage to compete with Tianwei."

Soon they returned to the military tent, and Liu Yichen ordered the herald to send this letter to the emperor as soon as possible.

The master book, after returning to the military tent, disappeared mysteriously. After a long time, they saw the corpse of the master in a tree in the wilderness.

The master book has a tough rope around his neck, and his eyes are closed. On the bark of one side, with blood, a line of large characters is written. "Live up to your benefactor, live up to your king."

Song Zhiyao saw him like that, and she sighed deeply in her heart. "It turns out that this is the case, maybe he has also been wronged by King Ling, it's a pity."

Liu Yichen buried him, and several people returned to the barracks. Those soldiers guarded the tent very closely, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

At the same time, the emperor also received a letter. "I didn't expect this King Ling to draw up a good picture with those thieves, and he wanted to make chaos and endanger the people."

Then the emperor thought about it again. "Although this King Ling is guilty, it's just that the old King Ling is also coerced, no matter what, he can't cut his knighthood."

The emperor thought for a while and wrote a book. "That's fine." He took the letter, covered it tightly, and turned it to the harem, and picked up a sword.

The sword was very slender and very sharp. At the handle of the sword, a golden dragon head was engraved, and the four big characters of Shang Fang's sword were inlaid on it.

The emperor stretched out his hands and weighed the sword. "This sword is Jiangshan Sheji, I will give it to Yichen today and let him start quickly."

The messenger soon returned to the tent. The atmosphere outside has become more and more tense, and many enemy soldiers, from time to time, descend the mountain and raid the people.

They knelt down to receive the order, and their hearts rejoiced. "It seems that the emperor is still benevolent and retained the position of the old county king, but he was only punished for one year."

In Liu Yichen's hand, he held the heavy Shang Fang sword, and sighed in his heart. "I don't know how much of the blood of the wrongdoers has been stained."

Song Zhiyao has been serving the old county king these days. Hearing the news, the old county king stared at the sky blankly, helpless, happy and sad.

He called Liu Yichen and said tremblingly. "The old man also knows that he deserves to die, but when the sword goes down, let him suffer less."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old county king couldn't hold it anymore and cried loudly. Song Zhiyao and those attendants took a while to appease him.

"It's really pitiful, it's just that he was sacrificed in exchange for the well-being of the people, and it's also a good thing for the country." Liu Yichen made up his mind and was ready to start.

It's just that those enemy soldiers have surrounded many surrounding county towns. Liu Yichen ordered in the capacity of the imperial court and did not admit it.

At this time, King Ling, who was deep in the palace, heard the news and was anxious. "If that's the case, it looks like I'll have to do it first."

Those enemy soldiers slaughtered the entire countryside of grain and grass. forcibly conscripted those people into the army to be cannon fodder.

King Ling then took the castle again, and dug deep trenches around it. On the city walls, there are many crossbowmen, ready to shoot.

"That's it, they can't catch me." Thinking of this, King Ling breathed a sigh of relief and ordered those barbarians to attack Tanzhou City.

Liu Yichen and the others were also ready, and the soldiers stuck to the city wall, holding spears and crossbows, lifting the rolling wood and stones, and smashing them fiercely.

The brute soldiers outside rushed up in a row, knocked down one piece in a row, and piled up again. Looking at the city wall from afar, it was smashed out of a small hole.

"Kill!" The soldiers on both sides were fighting in that place, fighting non-stop. There were many corpses, and there was a lot of blood, and at night, there was a temporary silence.

Song Zhiyao took care of the old county king while paying attention to the things outside the city. "It seems that they are really terrible, and they have to think of a good way."

Liu Yichen handed over the talisman guarding the city to Ren Wang. When he returned there, Song Zhiyao looked at him, covered in scars and blood.

"Xianggong, it's really hard." She said softly. "Those brutes are heavy, if we want to break through here, we have to have a better way."

Liu Yichen looked at her with a helpless smile. "These barbarians, the rebel army, just admit money, they won't listen to the edict, there is no way."

Song Zhiyao then laughed. "Xianggong, as long as you can see King Ling directly, and behead him immediately, how many soldiers will there be, and if you don't have the culprit, you have to surrender."

Looking at her like that, Liu Yichen said in surprise. "It's just that you have any good way, how can he be in front of you and me when the two armies are fighting?"

Song Zhiyao replied. "It's you and me, take Brother Hou again, dress up as a soldier of the rebel army, sneak into the palace, and you can start."
