"The Temperance Envoy wants to kill you!" Sun Zhi grabbed Liu Chenglin's wrist, "Fortunately, I am usually popular, and someone gave me a letter in advance, so I ran out." But along the way, there have been people chasing and killing, thanks to the continuous rain and bad weather these days, I was lucky to escape. ”

Liu Chenglin's face changed drastically, and he asked astringently, "What about your family?" ”

"Under the nest, how can there be eggs? I don't know anything about them yet, but I'm afraid that they will not be spared. Speaking of this, Sun Zhi lowered his head in a dejected manner.

"I'm the one who bothered you!" Liu Chenglin helped Sun Zhi sit down, both sad and angry: "Just because my father is an official in Shiyi, is the envoy going to kill me?" Over the years, I have made countless contributions to him, is it possible that I don't even have this trust? My father must have been forced, and he couldn't see such an obvious plan of discord? ”

"Where is it just this one thing!" Sun Zhi looked up at Liu Chenglin, shook his head and said, "You don't know yet, right?" Wuyi Li Ze has already proposed to your family, and your father has already agreed. If it is said that being an official in Shiyi is forced, but this in-law is a big deal, whether it is persecuted or not, things are completely different. ”

Liu Chenglin's face changed greatly: "Are you right?" ”

"Such a big event, can there be a fake?" Sun Zhi smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because of this incident that it has caused the Jiedu envoy to kill you." Now Henghai is worried about internal and external troubles, Texas is almost none, Dizhou has also been hit hard, Jiedu makes the hatred of Li into the bones, this is the time of the mouth, Jiedu can not be angry, how can you not kill you? If something happens to you here in Jingzhou, then Henghai will be almost finished. ”

Liu Chenglin sighed and sat down.

"This must be Li Ze's poisonous ploy again, although my father is cowardly, as long as the matter concerns me, he will be as hard as a stone. He wouldn't know the consequences of agreeing to marry the Li family, so he would definitely not agree, it must have been Li Ze's side that made an appearance and released the rumors, which made Henghai's side believe it. ”

"What's the difference now?" Sun Zhi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the messenger who killed you has already arrived in Jingzhou City, and fortunately you are out with your troops, otherwise your head may be on the way to Cangzhou by now." ”

"Lukin can kill me with just a few pieces of waste?" Liu Chenglin said disdainfully.

Sun Zhi looked at him and said, "Why can't I kill you, trick you into the city, even if you are alone, even if you are covered in iron, how many nails can you hit?" Do you think your men will avenge you? Liu Changfeng may be, but Yang Xi and Cai Deke all came out of the personal guards of the Jiedu envoy. Now that it is the order of the envoys of the festival, they will turn against you? ”

Liu Chenglin was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Brother Sun, you have worked hard to deliver letters to me all the way. Changfeng, you take Brother Sun to change clothes, get some food and drink with Brother Sun, and then sleep well. ”

"What about this side?" Sun Zhi asked.

"Now that I know about this, where will they have any chance? Brother Sun won't think I'm so useless, right? I won't tell you, Jingzhou Governor Shi He Zhigao is in Anling now, no wonder he is so cheeky and humble in front of me, it turns out that he has the intention of getting me back to Jingzhou City and then slaughtering me with a knife, hehe, hehehe! ”

"Now that you know it, I'm relieved, I'm really tired these days." Sun Zhi turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back again: "Chenglin, we have no way out." ”

Liu Chenglin nodded.

"Have you forgotten what I told you the last time we met? And your family, as long as they are alive, I will definitely try to rescue them. If there is any misfortune for them, our brothers, of course, will also take revenge on themselves. ”

Liu Chenglin was the only one left in the room, and he sat on the chair with his head in pain, until Liu Changfeng walked in from outside and stood beside him.

"Childe, we have no way out, either you die, or I die, now we have a thousand armor soldiers in hand, Lu Jin and they are just a group of waste seedlings, anyway, now we have no worries, it is better to occupy Jingzhou."

Liu Chenglin raised his head slowly, his eyes were blood-red, and he roared in a low voice: "Li Ze, I'm not done with you about this matter." ”

Liu Changfeng smiled bitterly: "Son, if Li Zezhen proposes marriage to the master, then in the future, won't he be your brother-in-law?" ”

Liu Chenglin said angrily: "Now that this matter has come out, if he just plays with intrigues and disregards my sister's reputation, I will definitely fight him to the death." He must marry him, and if he does not marry me with a knife on his neck, he will marry him. ”

Hearing Liu Chenglin's words, Liu Changfeng knew that Gongzi had already made a decision in his heart.

"So what are we going to do tomorrow? Do you continue to Jingzhou, or do you stop? Furthermore, how to deal with Ho Zhigao? And Yang Yi, Cai De? ”

Liu Changlin slowly stood up.

"If you go back, you naturally have to go back, if you don't go back, how can you take Jingzhou?"

When the sky was bright, He Zhigao came to urge Liu Chenglin to return to the army immediately, but Liu Chenglin categorically refused.

"What? Want to recruit 2,000 soldiers to bring back to Jingzhou? He Zhigao looked at Liu Chenglin with wide eyes, "Captain Liu, it is the responsibility of the assassin to recruit government soldiers, and you don't have this authority." ”

Liu Chenglin smiled: "Liu Mou came to fight the rebellion on the order of the assassin Shi, and the local collection of government soldiers was originally within the scope of responsibility, and besides, isn't He Changshi also here now?" With the two of us jointly signing the article, there will naturally be no problem. ”

"But why do you need to recruit government soldiers? The rebellion has been quelled, huh? He Zhigao asked rhetorically.

"Long history, the reason why the rebellion has been put down is not that the matter has been resolved, but that these people are afraid of our military might. These people are good people when they come home, and when they are gathered together, they are mobs, and what if I go away and they gather again? Could it be that I hurried back at that time? Liu Chenglin asked.

"Isn't that enough?" He Zhigao disagreed.

"Prevention is better than prevention. This time, the government soldiers were not recruited to fight, but to prevent these young men from doing any other bad things. Liu Chenglin said: "So I want to collect most of the young people in Anling and bring them back to monitor nearby, without these people, Anling will naturally be peaceful." Wait until the disaster is over and then repatriate these people one after another, so that they can be safe. ”

Liu Chenglin said it rightly, and it sounded very reasonable, He Zhigao couldn't find the words to refute it, thought about it again and again, and finally nodded in agreement.

No matter how many soldiers Liu Chenglin recruits, he can only be stationed outside Jingzhou City at that time, and they want to trick Liu Chenglin into the city to be killed, and the excuse is too easy to find at that time, whether it is a celebration banquet or a meeting, as long as Liu Chenglin enters the city alone, it will be his time to die.

The army, which was expected to return today, did not move, but sent the order to recruit government soldiers to Sixiang Bali. Originally, in the place where the riot had just passed, it was not ordinarily difficult to recruit government soldiers, but Liu Chenglin had previously killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Anling, opened a warehouse to release grain, and gave relief to the victims so that he had a lot of prestige in the local area for a while, and at this time he went to be a government soldier, but he could eat a bowl of public food, which could be regarded as reducing the burden on the family, so Liu Chenglin originally only wanted to recruit about 2,000 people, but in the end, nearly 5,000 people actually came.

Liu Chenglin did not refuse to come, anyway, now he has money and food, reorganized the government soldiers, opened the Anling arsenal to distribute equipment, and has been busy for nearly five days, this team organized by 1,000 armor soldiers and 5,000 government soldiers set off towards Jingzhou City.

Marching and fighting, this is Liu Chenglin's forte, along the way, he pinched the time, and when he arrived outside Jingzhou City, it was already dark.

Naturally, it was impossible for the army to enter the city, so they had to camp on the spot outside the city.

"Captain Liu, set up camp and these things, a few of them can do it well, why bother Captain Liu to do it himself? The assassin has already set up a celebration banquet there, so why don't Captain Liu go to the banquet with me. He Zhigao couldn't wait to mobilize Liu Chenglin to follow him into the city.

Liu Chenglin glanced at him disdainfully: "Changshi, you are not familiar with the situation in the army, the encampment of these thousands of troops is the most sloppy, not to mention that these five thousand soldiers were still the mob in your mouth not long ago, and now that they have arrived in Jingzhou, where do I dare to have the slightest neglect?" How to set up camp, how to settle them so that they dare not make trouble, how to restrain those officers among them, are all the most important things, things in the army, none of them are the small things you say, a little thing may be able to destroy an army, today I really can't leave, if He Changshi is tired, then go back to the city first, as for the celebration banquet, either eat tomorrow, or, you don't have to eat, to be honest, this trip to Anling, it is really not a merit, if there is really merit, The killing of some corrupt officials such as Lu Zigao can be counted as one. ”

A sentence made He Zhigao's face bruise. After a while, he said: "What the captain said is extremely true, the captain is so unevasive, as the governor of Jingzhou, how dare I return home, so I will supervise and act with the captain!" ”

Liu Chenglin smiled: "It's so good, there is a long history here, and it can also let the sons and daughters see the importance that the governors of Jingzhou attach to them." ”

Things are really as Liu Chenglin said, these newly recruited government soldiers were busy until the second half of the night before they finally settled down, at this time, He Zhigao was already tired and fell asleep.

The most important thing is that Yang Yi and Cai De's two soldiers and horses were stationed on both sides of the camp several miles apart from each other on the left and the right.
