Chapter 322: The Five-Day Covenant

Li Xin's father, Li Jingbai, was the governor of Shandong in his early years, and he was a well-deserved minister of the imperial court. Later, when Chongzhen was in power, the Donglin Party rose, and the imperial court vigorously suppressed the eunuch faction, Li Jingbai naturally couldn't escape the fate of being hit because of his old relationship with the eunuch party. Fortunately, the Li family was quite wealthy, and they donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to the imperial court, so they were exempted. Disheartened, Li Jingbai completely stayed away from officialdom and returned to his hometown Qinglonggang, Qixian County.

Although Li Jingbai has an old relationship with the eunuch party, his reputation is not bad, especially in his hometown Qinglonggang Town, the Li family often has righteous acts to help the poor, so the people are very supportive of Li Jingbai. Since then, Li Jingbai has focused all his energy on his son Li Xin. Li Xin is not very competitive, he has already been promoted during the Apocalypse, and he will try it in the first two years, which is very promising. But what the Li family father and son didn't expect was that Li Xin was cut off from his career before he had time to take the exam.

Due to Li Jingbai's reasons, Li Xin was also marked as a eunuch and became the capital, and the examination officials directly sent Li Xin back. The career was cut off, which can be regarded as unlucky. Li Jingbai felt uncomfortable, but Li Xin wanted to open it very much.

Li Xin himself didn't have much interest in officialdom, and if it weren't for his father, he wouldn't have insisted on taking any imperial examinations. Now that his career has been cut off, he doesn't have to hold books every day. Without the imperial examination, Li Xin was completely let go, he himself had a straightforward temperament, he liked to dance with guns and sticks, and the Li family was a local rich man, so he didn't have to worry about his livelihood, so Li Xin made a group of friends, specializing in fighting grievances and upholding justice. Every month, Li Xin will also take people to the Niangniang Temple outside the town to open a porridge shed to help the poor.

Gradually, Li Xin's reputation became more and more famous, and he became the most famous young man in Sili and Eight Townships, and many people became friends with him. In his spare time, Li Xin also gathered the servants of the family and some of his peers in the town to teach guns and sticks.

Once, a wicked boy in Qixian County came to the town to play, and he fell in love with a woman in the town and wanted to snatch it away to be a maid. After Li Xin heard the news, he took the group of young people under his command to take action, beat the evil son's subordinates to cry and call their mothers, and finally arrested the evil son and forced the family to pay the ransom. After receiving the ransom, Li Xin did not stay, and distributed it to the young people under his command and the poor people in the town, and for a time Li Xin's name was known to everyone.

After a long time, the people near Qinglonggang no longer called Li Xin's name, but called him "Li Gongzi". In Qinglonggang, Li Gongzi is the unique title of Li Xin, and other rich children with the surname Li dominate the name Li Dalang Li Erlang.

Li Xin is both civil and military, and has won praise from the people around him. But Li Jingbai was so angry that he didn't forget about dancing with guns and sticks, and he was still training young and strong, and those who didn't know thought he was recruiting troops. The Qixian County Inspection Department asked about this matter, and the Inspection Department also liked Li Xin's talent and wanted to recruit him to the Inspection Department. However, Li Xin said that he would not go anywhere, and it was very faceless to inspect Niu Erli, but fortunately, Li Jingbai was good at dancing with long sleeves and gave some benefits, so he settled the matter.

I thought that after the incident of the Inspection Division, Li Xin would be somewhat restrained, but he never thought that this kid would become even worse. Li Jingbai has been thinking about whether it is time to let the kid get married quickly, and it will be much more stable when he gets married. But before he could settle his family, the rogue conquered Qixian, and then there was a rogue attack on Qinglonggang.

In Li Jingbai's mind, the rogue is powerful, so let the rogue take away some property. But one didn't pay attention, his own son ran out, and he actually took the young man he trained to fight with the rogue outside the town. In this battle, the young men defeated the Liukou under the leadership of Li Xin, and also beheaded the leader Webley.

Li Xin was cheered by the townspeople, but Li Jingbai chuckled in his heart, this is a complete spoiler!

......

Qixian, listening to Lu Weiliang's eloquent talk, Lu Weiliang obviously knew a little about Li Xin, and introduced Li Xin in great detail. After listening, Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh for a while, and also gave birth to a little bit of love. A young man like Li Xin, if he is recruited under his command, he will definitely be like a tiger. There is another important reason why Li Zicheng wants to accept Li Xin.

Since the beginning of the army, no matter what you do, you are a rogue in the eyes of others. But Li Xin's identity is different, his father Li Jingbai is a person who has been the governor of Shandong, and he is even the secretary of the military department, if Li Xin is willing to come, the influence will definitely be different.

Now I finally understand why Lu Weiliang said that Li Xin is not ordinary, if he can recruit Li Xin, what is the point of dying a Webley? Thinking about it with his hands behind his back, Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Prepare for the horse, let's go to Qinglonggang, this time, I will meet this Li Xin in person." ”

Li Zicheng led a group of people to Qinglonggang, and at this time, there was a burst of angry roars from the Li family.

Outside the hall, dozens of young people huddled together, looking towards the hall, but no one dared to enter. In the hall, the gray-haired Li Jingbai held a bamboo stick and banged the table. In the center of the hall, kneeling was a handsome young man in green shirts, who was the famous Li Gongzi.

"Rebel..... Rebel son...... Don't you know what you're wrong yet? How many times has my father said that there should be less trouble and less murder, but you just don't listen. ”

Although Li Xin knelt on the ground, he could stare at his eyes, his face full of disbehesion, "Father's words, the child doesn't dare to agree, the rogue offended me Qinglonggang, do you still want to let it go?" A dignified man, if he can't protect the township and let the rogues harm his neighbors, what is the point of living? The Qixian County Inspection Department can't count on it, is it still wrong for the child to take people to protect the township? ”

"You..... Are you always justified? You're right to protect the township, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so? Webley's people are just a small part, even if they come to Qinglonggang, at most they will loot some wealth and leave. We don't cause trouble, and they don't hurt people. However, if you kill Webley and so many others now, you will be angered by the rogues, and then Li Zicheng will lead a large number of rogues to commit crimes..... The old man asked you, can you stop tens of thousands of rogues with your little people? ”

"I ...... The ......young and vigorous Li Xin was suddenly dumbfounded, and at this moment, he felt like falling into an ice cellar. He is a smart person, Li Jingbai quickly figured it out. Thinking about it like this, I didn't protect the township, but harmed Qinglonggang. The style of the rogue, Li Xin is clear, and the rogues under the anger may not want as simple as wealth, and it will inevitably be bloodied in Qinglonggang at that time.

Seeing that Li Xin hung his head and didn't speak, Li Jingbai knew that his son had realized his mistake. Sighing secretly, he put down the bamboo stick, and reached out to pull Li Xin up. patting the dust on Li Xin's body, looking directly at Li Xin's handsome face, it seems that he wants to imprint this face in his mind forever. Gradually, there was a sad breath in the air, and there seemed to be a mist rising in Li Jingbai's cloudy eyes.

"Ashin, you can take the people from the outside with you....."

Li Xin sighed, but he was soon stunned again, he looked at Li Jingbai blankly, and said in a lost voice: "Daddy, where do you let the child go?" Where to go? ”

"Hey, silly boy, you've killed so many rogues, you're sure to anger them. The rogues will soon come to take revenge, if you don't leave, will you stay here and wait for death? ”

Li Jingbai pressed Li Xin's shoulder, and said earnestly: "You take those people to Bozhou, Bozhou County Chenglin Zhisu has been friends with his father for many years, and he will take care of you." When the limelight is over, you will come back, remember, the rogue has not retreated, do not return to Qinglonggang. ”

Where is Li Xin willing to accept it, and said stubbornly: "No, the child doesn't leave, one person does things and one person is responsible, this disaster was caused by the child, and there is no reason for the father to suffer." If the child takes someone away and affects the suffering of his father and fellow villagers, will the child not be an unfaithful and unrighteous person? ”

Li Xin Zhenzhen had words, but Li Jingbai slapped the other party angrily, "Bastard, do you know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness at this time?" Why didn't you think about this when you first started? The courage of the husband is loyalty and filial piety? Little ancestor, don't talk about this at this time, if you really have the heart, take those people away, and leave some roots for us Qinglonggang, do you really want my Qinglonggang to be destroyed and die in exile, are you willing? ”

"I ...... That's not what the child meant...... The child ......" Li Xin, who has always been resourceful and firm-minded, panicked at this moment. Li Jingbai's words made him feel a great pressure, as if a thousand catties of boulders were pressed on his heart.

"Don't say anything, for the father knows your thoughts, at this time, the most important thing is to keep a little more!" Li Jingbai waved his hand and handed a burden to Li Xin, "Child, hurry up!" ”

Li Xin looked deeply at his father's slightly old face, and for a while sadness came from his heart, gritted his teeth, and turned around heavily, "Daddy, take care, the child is leaving!" ”

The group of young people outside the hospital listened to Li Xin's words, and Li Xin said that he had something important to go to Bozhou, but they didn't ask much, and followed him on the road with sticks. Qinglonggang Town is hundreds of miles away from Bozhou, and there is a Guide Mansion in the middle, Li Xin hurried and came to Ningling County, Guide Province in half a day.

Not long after Li Xin left, Li Zicheng's army also came to Qinglonggang. Li Zicheng ordered his soldiers and horses to besiege Qinglonggang, and took Lu Weiliang and others to the Li family compound.

Li Jingbai, who had already expected it, was not surprised by the arrival of Liukou, he did not panic too much, but calmly greeted him. When Li Zicheng saw Li Jingbai for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was worthy of being a governor of one party, and his bearing was different from other gentry and magnates.

This time, Li Zicheng strictly ordered all his subordinates to restrain his subordinates, and he did not commit any offence against Qinglonggang. When he saw Li Jingbai, he arched his hand and said: "Mr. Li is fine, I will take the liberty to come, and I hope you don't blame him." ”

"I have heard that General Li has a good way of governing the army and can fight well, but when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and I asked the general to move to the hall!" Li Jingbai smiled secretly in his heart, and did not take Li Zicheng's politeness to heart. Similarly, Li Zicheng didn't think that Li Jingbai was really hospitable.

The two of them knew very well in their hearts that the next conversation was the most important, and once they couldn't talk, they would be bloodied in Qinglonggang in the blink of an eye.

In the living room, the maid put the tea on the table tremblingly, and left as if she had fled. Li Zicheng observed the decoration in the living room for a long time, and asked very casually: "Mr. Li, I have heard for a long time that Linglang is a young man and a hero, and he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, I don't know if I can find a story?" ”

Li Jingbai smiled bitterly in his heart, he really came to his son Li Xin, fortunately he let his son leave Qinglonggang, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the general, yesterday the rebel son lost his temper and took someone to Shangqiu, and he is not in the town now." ”

Li Zicheng's eyes narrowed, revealing a strange smile, "Really? It's really disappointing, Shangqiu, a good place. However, with a talent like Ling Lang, it doesn't hurt for General Ben to wait for a few days. Five days is believed to be enough for Ling Lang to go back and forth in Shangqiu. ”

Li Zicheng smiled kindly, but Li Jingbai was furious in his heart. Five days, to put it bluntly, if you don't see Li Xin within five days, Li Zicheng will wash Qinglonggang Town in blood. Seeing that when it came to this, Li Jingbai didn't plan to pretend anymore, so his tone changed, and his face became a little calm, "Haha, don't say five days, you can't wait for me in ten days, I advise you to die of this heart!" ”

Li Zicheng was not angry, pointed at Li Jingbai, and said softly: "Mr. Li, why are you angry? Let's make a bet that if Ling Lang returns in five days, you won't stop him, how about it? ”

"Don't think!"

"Mr. Li, there are some things that you can't help yourself!"

Li Zicheng pouted, he had already made a decision. Li Xin will definitely take this person for his own use, and if he can't be used by me, then get rid of him.

In other words, Li Xin, who is in Ningling County, will really be willing to go to Qinglonggang? The answer is no. After stopping in Ningling, Li Xin could no longer continue to go south, and when he thought of what might happen to Qinglonggang, he couldn't give up. At this moment, a group of merchants chatted about the entry of the Liukou into Qinglonggang, and the road to Bozhou was completely cut off.

Where are those young people who come out of Qinglonggang willing to leave their hometown, they know the truth, many of them are unwilling to go to Bozhou, even if they die, they have to die with their parents.

Three days later, in Qinglonggang Town, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and a group of young people came to the south entrance of the town, and the leading young man was holding a spear and looking dignified.

Li Jingbai was angry and desperate, he never dreamed that Li Xin would come back with someone! This is the mouth of the sheep, in this case, many things are out of their own hands.

It was still that hall, but the people sitting opposite each other became Li Zicheng and Li Xin. Li Xin's eyes were full of anger and fighting spirit, which was in stark contrast to Li Jingbai's sleek and spicy.

"Webley was killed by the master, if you want to kill me, don't harm the people of Qinglonggang!"

"Hehe, Li Gongzi is really a man of temperament, when did General Ben say that he was going to slaughter Qinglonggang?" Li Zicheng leaned on the table, his expression became serious, "As long as Li Gongzi says a word today, will you go with General Ben?" ”

"How about walking? What if you don't go? ”

"Li Gongzi is a smart person, so you should know that General Ben doesn't like to be rejected? Moreover, a hero like Li Gongzi is really willing to live in the small Qinglong Town for the rest of his life? Now that the court is mediocre, and there is no way to live for the people, we need you and me with lofty ideals to raise our arms and recreate the bright future! ”

What a good one!

These words came from Li Zicheng's mouth, and there was a sense of irony!
