A snow fell, announcing that winter had officially descended on the land of Jizhou, and the people, who were not as worried as before, had leisure to enjoy the snow for the first time in several years.

Children happily play snowball fights, build snowmen, run and laugh in the streets, carefree.

The adults gathered together in twos and threes, chatting while looking at the children, and there was no lack of yearning in their words.

Even teahouses, whose business has been bleak for a long time, have begun to serve customers, although they only order a pot of the cheapest broken tea, but this is also popular.

Jizhou City, it seems that it has been a long, long time since it has been so popular.

Mrs. Sun's family took the children back to the teahouse to take a look, the teahouse was full of dust and looked a little depressed.

Just stayed for a moment and then left, with reluctance and reluctance in his eyes.

For a moment, Mrs. Sun really wanted to clean up the teahouse, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to care about whether the teahouse was open or not.

On the school side, the recruits ushered in their first training in the snow, which is also a must-have training.

The team gathered in the school field, and then drove out of Jizhou City, marching in the vast wilderness, and this is the only thing they have to practice today.

On the wall of Jizhou City, Li Qi stood there and watched the team march outside the city like a long dragon, with some relief in his eyes.

From autumn to winter, the size of the team has expanded a lot, and now there are 18,000 recruits in training, and the number of people has reached 10,000, which is actually extremely spectacular.

Originally, the recruited recruits had reached nearly 40,000 people, but Tang was picky, and he didn't want anyone who was unqualified.

If it is someone else, it is natural to seek more, and the more soldiers there are, the more powerful they will be.

Don didn't want to look strong like this, because he knew very well how miserable those teams that looked strong would be after the battle.

In the past, there were many rebels who looked strong on the land of Jizhou, and they often had tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, tens of thousands of rebels were defeated by three or two thousand government soldiers, and such examples abounded.

Therefore, the recruits required by Tang must be between the ages of sixteen and thirty, and if the physical condition is really good, they can also be exceptional.

Even within this age range, those who fail to pass the training will be sent away directly with a severance pay.

The new army of 18,000 men, plus the remaining 4,000 veterans, was mixed into two armies, and it seemed that it was already quite large.

But in the eyes of Tang Pi's enemy, these soldiers are still far from being able to fight.

"It looks like it's impossible for Yuzhou to send someone over this winter."

Mr. Yan, who was standing next to Li Qi, said: "Our team still has at least five or six months to train. ”

Li Qi snorted and said: "Knowing that our troops are so small, the Yuzhou army will definitely come before the summer grain harvest next year, and if we can't take Jizhou, we will take away our grain." ”

Mr. Yan said: "So you did it on purpose, you must have a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Li Qi said: "Yes." ”

He looked into the distance, was silent for a moment, and then sighed, "It's just a little ruthless." ”

At this time, I saw a team coming from a distance on the official road outside the city, and the number was not large, about more than 100 people.

This team doesn't play a flag, so it's a little weird.

Li Qi raised the clairvoyance and looked at it, only looked at it for a moment, threw the clairvoyance to the side, and the person turned around and ran out.

Mr. Yan was stunned, and said in his heart, Li Qi, what's wrong?

He looked back and saw that Li Qi had already jumped down the ramp, as fast as a hunting dog chasing rabbits.

Li Qi ran down from the city wall, rushed out of the city gate, and ran all the way to the north and waved all the way.

In that team, there was a horse that rushed forward, and after rushing out of a section, he jumped off the horse and ran in the snow to meet Li Qi.

On the city wall, Mr. Yan, who was holding clairvoyance, laughed, and he could see who that person was.

Who else could that person be?

Thinking about the relationship between Li Qi and that guy, it may really be the strongest and most beautiful brotherly relationship in the world.

That's the best brother in the world, and Li Qi is the best brother in the world.

Outside the city, Li Qi ran to the dusty guy in one breath, looked at the guy's face and smiled.

"Laugh at the fart."

Xiahou Zhuo habitually raised his hand and rubbed it on Li Qi's head, and then realized that this guy was actually so tall and embarrassed than him.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

Li Qi grinned like a fool.

Xiahou Zhuo said: "There is no war in Northern Xinjiang, and it is estimated that there will be no war in a short time, so I secretly ran back." ”

He rubbed Li Qi's hair in a mess, and then reached out and put his arm around Li Qi's shoulders and walked back: "I'm hungry and want to eat meat." ”

Li Qi said: "When I go back, I will have people prepare meals, all of which will be meat dishes." ”

Xiahou Zhuo laughed, and said as he walked, "How is our mother?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Our mother is not in Jizhou, I asked people to pick it up twice, but I refused to come, saying that it is better in Yanshan, quiet and natural, and the mood is open." ”

Xiahou pondered for a moment, and then slowly exhaled: "Then when I go back, go around Yanshan." ”

Li Qi said: "Then when you see our mother when you arrive in Yanshan, you have to be careful, our mother is holding her breath and wants to beat you." ”

Xiahou said: "Anyway, I can't stand the beating today, I will be beaten in the future, and I will talk about it later." ”

He smiled: "It's okay if my mother is not in Jizhou, you can have a good drink today, even if you are presumptuous, it will not get in the way." ”

Li Qi said: "Well, yes, yes, our mother is strict." ”

Xiahou said: "That's it, our mother is good at everything, but she is strictly controlled." ”

When Li Qi entered the city gate, he instructed his subordinates and soldiers: "Go back to the house and let people prepare, boil water and prepare food, Xiahou is back!" ”

Not long after, Li Qi and Xiahou Zhuo returned to the city, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xiahou Zhuo saw someone outside the gate of the mansion to greet them.

He smiled and said, "Such a big battle." ”

Li Qi said: "That is, to greet you, you must not be casual, not only must have a battle, but also have momentum." ”

"Welcome General Xiahou home!"

A group of men shouted loudly at the door.

This neat shout made Xiahou Zhuo shout a little excited.

He walked up to these people and returned the military salute, and was about to speak, when suddenly he heard someone shouting from behind the crowd.

"Hurry up, hold him down!"

Xiahou Zhuo felt that this shout was a little familiar, and he vaguely heard a little bit of a thief.

A group of men rushed up, and when Xiahou Zhuo was still a little confused, they held him down.

He also took the time to take a look, and saw that the little thief who shouted was Xiahou Yuli.

When Mrs. Xiahou saw that someone had held it down, she came out of the door with a broom, and Xiahou Zhuo was broken when she saw it.

He turned his head to look at Li Qi: "Stinky boy!" Didn't you say that my mother was not in Jizhou! ”

Li Qi said: "Nonsense, I'm going to say that my mother is in Jizhou, how can I beat you, you have already prepared, after I told you, you immediately took out the leather pad hidden in your pants, and said that you don't need to guard against our mother beating your ass, that smug, you should be beaten!" ”

Mrs. Xiahou glared at Xiahou Zhuo, and hit Xiahou Zhuo's ass with a broom.

"You still hide leather pads in your pants to prevent you from being beaten? You call him a stinky boy, you're a stinky boy, how long haven't you been back! ”

With this snap, Xiahou Zhuo, who was beaten, screamed.

The second time, Mrs. Xiahou was reluctant to fight again.

Behind the crowd, Xiahou Yuli jumped to his feet and shouted: "Hit, mother, keep beating, spank him!" ”

Xiahou Zhuo looked at Xiahou Yuli's side, Xiahou Yuli shrank his head and hid at the door, not daring to shout so loudly, but he could return it

is instigating: "Mother, swell his ass!" ”

But after a while, Madam Xiahou couldn't help it, and tears flowed.

An hour later, the living room.

Full of wine and food, Xiahou coaxed his mother for a while, and glared at Li Qi fiercely, Li Qi's expression was that you can stare at me, anyway, you can't stare at my ass.

Xiahou Zhuo glared at Xiahou Yuli again, Xiahou Yuli subconsciously hid behind her mother, pointed at Xiahou Zhuo and said, "Mother, my brother murders me!" ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "Wow! ”

After eating a meal, Xiahou Zhuo took a sip of the teacup, and the hot feeling immediately spread to the whole body, and he rushed back all the way, which was considered to be down-to-earth.

"Is there something going on in the north?"

Li Qi asked: "Every year during the autumn harvest, the black warriors will go south to Koubian, and this year it is surprisingly quiet. ”

Xiahou said: "Because the wide enemy Dashi is dead." ”

Li Qi's hand holding the teacup stopped suddenly, he looked at Xiahou Zhuo incredulously, and did not speak, but the surprise in his eyes was enough to show that he was thinking at this time.

Broad and invincible Oishi is in the prime of life, with a strong personality, and his dominance in the black force is extremely strong.

Moreover, it is said that this person is also very strong in martial arts, and he has practiced swordsmanship in the sword gate since he was a child, and is known as a rare genius.

After inheriting the throne, the broad and invincible Dashi became even stronger, and some princes who originally had military power in their hands and could influence the government were abolished by him one by one.

Such a person, under normal circumstances, would not be a problem to hold the power of the black military force for another thirty or forty years.

"How did you die?"

Xiahou Zhuo looked at the hot tea in the cup, and after a long time, he slowly exhaled.

"Chu Emperor Sword."

Hearing these three words, Li Qi's eyes suddenly widened.

Xiahou Zhuo said: "It is also because I know the news that I dare to take the time to come back to meet you, now the black martial arts have no intention of seizing power to go south, and after the spring of next year, the black martial imperial power will be stabilized again, and they will inevitably go south to take revenge." ”

He looked out the window, his eyes a little wandering.

"When that man went north, he brought six of his subordinates, and after leaving the border pass, he told the six subordinates that if the black warriors did not go south by the autumn harvest next year, I had succeeded, and you returned to the capital to inform Your Majesty that I had reported the emperor's favor."

Li Qi asked, "Who is he?" ”

"I don't know my name, and his people won't say it."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "When the six people came back, there was only one person left, and the other five went to the rescue, and they all died in battle. ”

"When that person entered the customs, he asked me to borrow a war horse and said that he wanted to rush back to the capital, I sent someone to escort him and asked him anything, but he refused to say more."

Xiahou Zhuo let out a long breath again.

"I only know that the murderer is the secret guard next to the emperor."

He looked at Li Qi and said slowly: "The matter is probably my own speculation. ”

There was a secret guard beside the emperor, who saw the emperor being killed, but he couldn't do anything about it, because the person who killed the emperor was His Majesty today.

The new emperor wanted to reuse him, but he was sad about the level in his heart, and when he saw His Majesty today, he thought of the tragic death of the old emperor.

Even if the old emperor didn't treat him very well, he still understood his duty, the first emperor was deceased, and he also had the will to die.

Counting the time, he set off a year after the death of the old emperor, disfigured himself in Heiwu, lurked for another year, and mixed into the sword gate as a slave.

Take advantage of the wide and invincible boulder to inspect the sword gate, grab the sword and kill it.

The Sword Gate is at its peak, and the masters are like clouds.

In that battle, there were one hundred and seventy-two swordsmen of the Sword Gate, and he killed sixteen.

The great sword master was thirty-six, and he killed seven people.

Xiahou Zhuo said: "I asked the person who survived alone if you could tell him his name. ”

Xiahou Zhuo held the teacup in his hand and trembled slightly.

The man replied that before leaving, his eldest brother had said that no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, the person is nameless, the sword is famous, and no matter what the sword, it is all called Emperor Chu."
