Liu Jian talked with Li Xiaofei and Liu Mingge for two days and one night, and Li Xiaofei told the current situation of each battalion and the counties in the South China Sea, and Liu Mingge recorded them one by one.

The White Horse Battalion, led by Chen Jingyi, now has 1,400 people

Lin Changsheng, the commander of the bow and crossbow battalion, has 1,200 people.

Zheng Da, the commander of the Sword and Shield Battalion, has nine hundred people.

Wu Fengxian, the commander of the halberd battalion, has 600 people.

Deng Liang, the commander of the spear battalion, had 1,400 men under his command.

Yu Tao, the commander of the Kaishan Battalion, has now increased to 800 people.

The dead battalion of 1,000 people, led Cai Guishan.

There are 700 diggers, and Gao Yongxin is in charge.

The new Pudao battalion has 600 people and commands Chang'an.

The new Changge camp has 600 people, and Chen Jinge is under the command.

The 200 people of the newly built chariot battalion, Chen Ji'an, the commander of the new spear battalion, Chen He'an, 500 people, Chen Feng, the commander of the new sword and shield battalion, and Wu Weiyi, the commander of the rattan armor battalion, 300 people are still on the way to Yuzhang.

The remaining fifteen battalions of soldiers and horses were left south of Xianxia Pass.

After listening to Li Xiaofei talk about the experience of the 14th battalion fighting against the Wei army in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Jian was overjoyed: "With such soldiers and horses, it is enough for us to quell the rebellion, and it is not impossible to dominate the world in the future!" ”

Li Xiaofei came out again and poured cold water, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Thousand Feather Army of the Yu Kingdom and the cavalry of the Wandering Ghost Country in the Far North are hundreds of thousands, and our little strength will not be enough to compete with them in the future." If you want to dominate the world, you must operate for more than ten years after the counterinsurgency, and build an elite cavalry that can sweep through the Thousand Feathers Army! ”

Liu Jian smiled awkwardly, "I finally have the confidence to restore the country, but you kid wants to disturb my dreams!" ”

Liu Mingge spread a map he was carrying on the ground, pointed to the northwest and said, "The current situation is not very good, Tuyuhun in the northwest has already taken the land of Guanzhong, and their strength should not be underestimated." In addition to the Yu State in the north, there is also the Green Flag Khanate, which is also said to have been fighting in the Guanzhong recently. The situation of chaos among the nations has come. We must destroy Cui Ju within half a year, pacify Bashu within a year, and have a chance to fight for the world in the future! ”

"Speaking of Tuyuhun, there has been no news of Murong Ling for a long time, I'm afraid it wasn't his handiwork that Tuyuhun won Guanzhong!" Li Xiaofei remembered that he hadn't seen Murong Ling for several years.

"According to the information I got in Jianlou, Guanzhong was ceded to Tuyuhun by the Wei State, and the commander of Tuyuhun's troops was Murong Yuanzhong, and Murong Ling didn't have any news. If he can really contribute to the beam, many things will be much easier. But then again, no one can be found in the sword tower, and it is even more impossible for others to find it. News without him is good news. ”

"Speaking of which, this Chai Sangkou is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so I still moved to Yuzhang and waited for the follow-up Southern Navy. I will live in your Li Xiaofei's official office, and it is not appropriate to be extravagant and wasteful. Okay, it's been two days and one night, we should all rest, the couch here is wide, let's have a good three people and a sleep. As soon as Liu Jian stretched his waist, Qin Zhong hurriedly called someone to fetch water, but Li Xiaofei and Liu Mingge wanted to refuse

Liu Jian grabbed the two of them, "I'm not saying polite words, but telling the truth, with the two of you by my side, I sleep soundly!" ”

Li Xiaofei chuckled, "I don't know if Concubine Xiao Guifei will think the two of us are troublesome!" ”

Liu Jian hugged Li Xiaofei, "I have been her alone for more than a year, and it is not difficult for her to take up all the good things alone!" Hey, hey, hey, my eyelids are starting to fight, so let's lie down and sleep. Qin Aweng, order people to guard the inside and outside, and no one is allowed to disturb him, I and General Li, Prime Minister Liu, will sleep for a few days and nights! ”

Five days later, Li Xiaofei returned to Yuzhang first, and Wang Ruoyun did not stop talking along the way, asking many questions about the emperor.

Li Xiaofei made up some random words to perfunctory Wang Ruoyun, and Wang Ruoyun also believed it.

When he was about to arrive in Yuzhang City, Wang Ruoyun asked Li Xiaofei, "Will the emperor go to our house?" ”

Li Xiaofei replied casually: "Your family can't afford the expenses of the palace!" ”

"Didn't you say that the emperor was very frugal? Why can't the richest man in Yuzhang City afford the emperor to have a meal? ”

"Eh, what the emperor said about frugality is compared with before, not with us? How dare we compare with the Son of Heaven? ”

"Even if the emperor eats gold and pearls, our Wang family will not be able to eat a meal!"

"Let me tell you this, the emperor just wants to go to your house to eat a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, you can't just find one of these chickens, you have to choose the best ten or so chickens, and then choose the best chicken breast after killing, cut into shreds, and then soak in spices. The water used must be the best mountain spring water, and the charcoal must also be selected fruit charcoal, and then after these materials are fully equipped, the soup will be boiled a day in advance, and the soup will be boiled out, and the noodles must be tried more than ten times when cooking, and the best taste can be filled with a small bowl to send to the emperor, and before the emperor eats, the eunuchs around him have to test the poison for him. ”

"So much trouble? If you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, wouldn't it cost you more? ”

"Fortunately, our emperor is not a greedy master, and he has also suffered in the army and among the people, and knows that a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by. Otherwise, the reception of the emperor will have to go bankrupt and the whole city will be empty! ”

"In that case, the emperor should not go to our house, if he suddenly wants to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, our family will definitely go bankrupt!"

"It's up to you! Okay, it's time to get into town, remember not to talk gibberish, and tell your family not to wander around when you get back. In the next three days, I will send people to the whole city to hunt down the bandits. ”

"You're not going to take me back to the palace? I'm the wife you're marrying! ”

"It's true that you are my wife, but I am more relieved that you are in the Wang family! Go ahead! ”

"I really don't understand, did you marry me just because of that night? What is the difference between me and your personal servant? Lingering comes and goes! ”

"You're idle all day, just think nonsense, I've seen that Mr. Liu is going to open a new academy in Yuzhang in a few days, you might as well go to the academy to teach the children to read and practice martial arts!"

"I think you're idle! How can a woman be a teacher? If you open the academy again, is it Yuzhang Academy? ”

"No, no, no, Mr. Liu wants to rebuild Nanyang Academy, and women don't always love to dance with knives and guns like you, don't you do the same?"

"But if you want to be a teacher, it's not good! After all"

"After all, saints have ancient teachings, don't they? What you have learned cannot be used, and you cannot pass it on to others, so what is the use of learning? Alright, you go home and get ready! ”

A few days later, Liu Jian and Liu Mingge came to Yuzhang City under the escort of Qi Yunfeng, and Li Xiaofei took all the generals and officials out of the city thirty miles to greet them.

For a time, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, the sound of flutes and flutes was endless, and it was very lively, and the hundred people left in Yuzhang by the White Horse Battalion were led by Chen Jingyi to open the road left and right, and the dead battalion lurked on both sides of the road early to guard.

Liu Jian loudly reprimanded Li Xiaofei for being extravagant and disturbing the people in the carriage, but his face was full of joy.

This kind of days of hugging back and forth have been missing for more than half a year, and in the sound of gongs and drums and cheers, Liu Jian smiled contentedly.

Xiao Qian, who was with Liu Jian, was sad on her face, Liu Fu'an was still in Cui Ju's hands, and it was almost impossible to save him.

Liu Jian vaguely guessed why Xiao Qian was displeased, and patted her shoulder, "Regarding the emperor's affairs, I will send Prime Minister Liu Cheng to rescue him, you can rest assured!" ”

"Thousands of soldiers and horses are at every level, and Mr. Liu's martial arts are the best in the world, but if you want to protect a child, I am afraid that there is no chance. If Mr. Liu has this ability, he can directly assassinate Cui Ju! Xiao Qian was very rational at this time.

Liu Jian choked up when he wanted to be relieved, he also talked to Liu Mingge about this matter, and Liu Mingge's answer was that he could only sneak in quietly and take away the little emperor, if he broke in, he would only be beaten to death.

After a long while, Liu Jian spoke: "Mr. Liu will use the power of the Sword Tower to sneak into Xiangyang, we have to believe him!" ”

"It's not that I don't believe Mr. Liu, it's just that now that we have a large army in our hands, the threat to Cui Ju has suddenly become bigger, will Cui Ju use the emperor to blackmail us?"

"Since ancient times, there has only been coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, how can there be coercion of the prince to order the Son of Heaven? If he moves the emperor, he will not be able to raise the banner on the side of the Qing monarch, which means breaking with the entire Liang, and he is still using the banner of the Liang as the prime minister of the Liang. ”

"What if he sets himself up as emperor? At that time, the emperor will be completely his hostage! ”

"We will rescue the emperor before he becomes emperor, and we will cross the river and go north before that!"

"I always have a bad premonition, I'm scared, if the emperor has something long, I don't want to live!"

Liu Jian hugged Xiao Qian, "Don't think nonsense, let's go into the city!" The queen of the girder must have a bearing! ”

"Queen? Am I not a concubine? Xiao Qian's eyes widened suddenly

"I, Liu Jian, have only one queen in this life and this life, Xiao Qian, until death!"

Xiao Qian suddenly began to cry, and Liu Jian wiped away her tears with her sleeve, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't let people outside hear it!" ”

The emperor and the empress took the prime minister and Qi Yunfeng's palace guards into Yuzhang City, and the residents of the city were locked in their homes and could not go out, and they all watched the emperor's honor guard in the crack of the door.

Regarding the emperor's honor guard, Liu Mingge, Qi Yunfeng, and Black Pearl racked their brains and couldn't come up with a good idea.

The white horse can't be made, the car can't be built, and in the end, Liu Mingge is ingenious, the emperor and the empress ride into the city on ordinary yellow horses, and the guards in front of the palace all wear newly created full-body chain mail and open the way with long knives. Behind the emperor was the black-clothed swordsman escort led by Black Pearl, followed by the 100 cavalry of the White Horse Battalion who had previously served as the guard, changed into the fish scale armor brought by Liu Mingge, the helmet was masked, and then the banner was carried on his back and slowly moved forward.

This guard of honor and the sound of drums and horns made the children in the city dare not cry, and occasionally those who had the courage to open the windows to peep were driven back by the soldiers of the spear battalion.

In order to make them feel at ease, Liu Jian built a separate warehouse to place these "treasures", and this "treasure house" was opened every day for the people to admire.

Everyone who has seen the "treasure house" laughs and says that the emperor is too illiterate, and these ordinary things are also regarded as treasures.

When Xiao Qian heard the news, she ran to the treasure house, glanced at it a few times, and said quietly: "The emperor is too cheap to accept these things."

"If you don't accept it, I'm afraid it will chill their hearts, if you don't accept these things, they will definitely find a way to collect better things, so I will disturb the people. The most important thing is that if some people loot the people themselves in the name of offering treasures, and give me the rags, I will not take the blame for them! ”

Three days after the treasure house was opened, some people came to sue the emperor, and sure enough, some people looted the people in the name of offering treasures to the emperor.

The leader was Wang Yuanhua, who learned that the people had sued him, and hurriedly asked Wang Ruoyun to discuss countermeasures.

Wang Ruoyun was angry, "Your old man has always been as timid as a mouse, why is he so bold this time, so big that he bullies the king!" ”

Wang Yuanhua collapsed on the ground and cried, "It's all the housekeeper Hong, what do you say, the emperor doesn't care about what we send, and if you don't take this opportunity to search for real treasures, you are a fool!" This time I was killed by him! Daughter, you have to go and ask your husband, Lord Li, to intercede for Daddy! ”

"You didn't tell me in advance what you did, and now you are causing a big disaster and asking me to intercede? Didn't I just give it to Li Xiaofei as a color object by you at the beginning? What's the difference between me and those BMW mansions? What is the use of my intercession? ”

Wang Yuanhua fainted directly, and the servants in the house hurriedly came to rescue him, Wang Ruoyun was soft-hearted, "Okay, okay, I'll try it, it's really not good, you guys are ready to run for your life!" ”
