Li Jing returned home and found Li Liu sitting on a chair, Chao 13 standing respectfully aside, and the two were chatting without a word.

Li Jing wondered why the old lady had talked to Chao Thirteen, so she walked to the third sister who was doing needlework under the eaves of the wing room, squatted down and asked softly, "Why did our mother talk to this kid?" What about your second brother? ”

The third sister glanced at Li Jing, "The second brother is sharpening the knife, and my mother said that Thirteen is a guest of our family, and she can't let the family work, so she asked her to start a family routine in the yard." ”

Li Jing nodded thoughtfully, and then threw a few coins of broken silver to the third sister, "Go out and buy some vegetables, cook more at noon, your second brother and this kid can eat." ”

The third sister smiled, "I still want to buy sweet candy, will the eldest brother eat it?" ”

Before Li Jing could answer, the little girl jumped out of the door, obviously he was just talking casually, and he didn't mean to buy it for Li Jing to eat.

Li Jing shook his head, walked to Li Liu's side, and greeted her.

Li Liu suddenly stood up and asked Li Jing to come into the house with her to talk.

Chao 13 heard Li Liu say this, so he found a reason to go to the back to find Li Jue to sharpen the knife.

Li Jing and Li Liu entered the room, and Li Liu's originally kind face suddenly became anxious, "Jing'er, what are you going to do?" How did I even bring the knife home. Although my mother can't control you now, my mother wants you to do something serious. ”

Although Li Liu's words were very tactful, Li Jing could hear the anger and worry in her words.

He smiled and said: "Mother, you also know that those two knives belong to Zhang Zhuang, and I borrowed them just to practice, in case the government recruits Ding Zhuang to fight one day, he can save his life somehow." ”

Qianlong was so happy that he used troops to foreign countries many times, and when he was on an expedition to Jinchuan and Burma, he had transferred soldiers and horses from various towns in Huguang and the people of the two places.

Huguang in the Qing Dynasty referred to Hubei and Hunan, and had nothing to do with Guangdong and Guangxi.

In March of the 31st year of Qianlong, Liu Zao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, committed suicide for lying about the war situation in Burma. Yang Yingju took over as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the Burmese army just withdrew to the country at this time, Yang Yingju took the opportunity to recover the lost territory on the border and carried out rectification, the emperor praised it greatly, and rewarded his grandson Yang Maoling with a blue feather guard. Therefore, Yang Yingju wanted to make another great contribution and make an official position for his great-grandson. As a result, an army of 500,000 troops claimed to be on the Qing-Burma border, trying to force Burma to submit, and if they did not accept it, they would fight until they were submitted.

The Burmese army was naturally not convinced, and the army went down the Jinsha River, and Chen Hongbang, the deputy general of the garrison Xinjie, was so frightened that he screamed and fled overnight. As a result, news of the defeat and escape of the Qing army continued to reach Yang Yingju's ears.

Yang Yingju was frightened, in order to cover up the guilt of his defeat, while learning from the previous predecessor to lie to the death to report the military situation, on the other hand, he said that the Burmese people were stubborn and refused to obey the indoctrination, and should be on a large scale to conquer Burma, please transfer 50,000 troops from Huguang, Sichuan, and Yunnan to march in five ways, and ask the imperial order to Siam (Thailand) to send troops to attack Burma.

Before Yang Yingju's performance entered Beijing, it spread all over Sichuan and Chu, causing panic. Until the 32nd leap July, when Yang Yingju was killed, and Fucha Mingrui took over as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in February, the rumors that he wanted to recruit Huguang Minfu are still spreading.

Li Liu's business is in the breakfast business, and I heard the guests who came to eat breakfast talk about it. So when Li Jing said this, she couldn't help nodding her head and praised Li Jing for her insight.

Li Liu also warned Li Jing about some matters, such as not to have disputes or fights with others in the future. Li Jing was secretly funny, and said in her heart, old lady, old lady, you didn't say that your son was not allowed to kidnap the ticket.

Coming out of Li Liu's room, Li Jing went to see Li Jue and Chao Thirteen again. By this time, the two had already rubbed off the rust stains on the two short knives, and they looked like they were 'sharp as snow'.

Li Jing let the two of them follow him into the room, Li Jing spread the map of the Huangbai River that he had drawn yesterday on the table, and said to the two: "This is a sketch of the area around the Huangbai River that I painted. ”

Li Jue and Chao Thirteen glanced at each other, both of them had a confused look in their eyes, although they said in unison: "I don't understand!" ”

Li Jing had no choice but to try to remember how the instructor had taught him to read maps in the past, and then repeated it to the two people in front of him who were not even at the elementary school level.

Li Jing talked for more than an hour, and his saliva was dry, but the two of them were still at a loss.

He let out a long breath and scolded, "Damn, I can't communicate with you." ”

scolded like this, thinking in my heart whether I should find an instructor, otherwise in the future, a group of subordinates will be like these two illiterates, and they can't even read the map, so they will make a fart.

After eating at noon, Li Jing asked Chao Thirteen to teach Li Jue some kung fu, after all, Chao Thirteen crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and he has rich kung fu and actual combat experience.

Li Jue also likes kung fu, since he slept with Chao 13 last night, the relationship between the two quickly changed from strangeness to intimacy. Chao Thirteen taught hard, and Li Heng studied very hard.

Li Jing saw it in his eyes and was happy, in the case that there were no spears and cannons for the time being, the more people with martial arts around him, the better it would be.

After lunch the next day, the guys in Liu Ping's shop sent the robes that Li Jing wanted.

Li Jing went back to the room to change it, and suddenly changed from a poor sour to a handsome son. The third sister looked Li Jing up and down, "Big brother is so good-looking today." ”

Li Jing smiled and touched the third sister's head, "When the eldest brother earns money, I will also buy you a few sets of flower skirts." ”

The third sister stuck out her tongue, "I'm still young, so I'd better buy my mother a few more good clothes." ”

"It's just a sensible child."

Li Jing said as he reached out to touch the third sister's head, and the third sister tilted her head and dodged.

"Don't always treat me like a child, Xiaohua as big as me got married last month."

Li Jing couldn't help but look at the feet of the third sister when she heard this, and the third sister noticed Li Jing's eyes, and her face was slightly red, "Big brother, you are so bad, don't pay attention to you." ”

With that, he ran away.

When it was about to be evening, Li Jing came to Li Liu and said that she had something to do tonight and couldn't come back to live, so she and her third sister closed the door tightly, and no one called to open the door.

After the instructions, he took Li Jue and Chao Thirteen out of the alley, came to Jinfeng Restaurant, Zhang Zhuang had already been waiting outside the door, saw the three of them one by one, and returned to Jinfeng Restaurant to the big shopkeeper to take leave, and rushed towards the north city gate, the four of them hurried and finally rushed out of the city before the city gate was locked.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'imperial power does not go to the countryside', and outside the city, the local squires and bullies have the final say, as long as there is no life lawsuit, everything is easy to say. As soon as the city gate was closed after dark, there was no royal law outside the city, and gambling prostitutes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The area around the Huangbai River, which is still deserted during the day, has become brightly lit and full of people, which is ten times more lively than during the day.

Large bright lanterns were hung in every restaurant, and beautiful prostitutes leaning on the gates and railings upstairs were smiling at the men.

A bearded, handsome man followed by two servants. One of them also had a beard, and the other was as black as the bottom of a pot. It is Li Jing, Li Jue and Chao Thirteen in disguise.

The three of them regarded the warbler Yanyan along the way as a passing cloud, and walked quickly to the dock. I walked straight to a boat called 'Tenka Painting Boat'.

At this time, the captain on the painting boat was about to pull the anchor and set sail, Li Jing suddenly jumped on the boat, and Li Jue and Chao Thirteen also jumped up.

Li Jing stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on the shore and couldn't help but sigh: "This nightlife is not bad compared to modern times!" ”

The captain was stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "Childe, this painting boat has been packed, please find another place to go!" ”

Li Jing pursed his lips and pretended to be a gentleman, "How much money that guy pays, Lao Tzu pays double." ”

As he spoke, he ran towards the boat. The captain wanted to step forward to stop him, but Chao Thirteen's eyes widened, and the captain trembled with fright and stepped aside.

Li Jing and the three of them strode to the door, and there were two turtle men wearing green clothes and small hats standing at the door, seeing the three of them coming, a rather rough looking walked up, glanced at the three of them, and from the clothes, it was easy to distinguish the master and servant, and hugged Li Jing and said: "This son is polite, Tianxiang Painting Boat was wrapped by He Gongzi today, please forgive me." ”

Li Jing laughed and said: "Damn, if you want to see Miss Tianxiang, you still have to learn from Guan Gong to pass five levels and cut six!" ”

Seeing that Li Jing's words were wrong, the turtle prince couldn't help frowning, "This piece is covered by the king of Xing'an Society, and the son came out to find happiness, don't lose your luck because of this." ”

Li Jing sneered, "You dare to threaten me." Isn't the head of Xing'an Club Jin Dahu? Why did you become the king again? ”

The turtle lord was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It seems that this brother doesn't often come to the Huangbai River area to play, Jin Ye is the head of the Xing'an Society, but he is ranked seventeenth, and there are sixteen masters above." ”

As he was talking, a half-old dressed in flowers and branches walked out with a thin waist twisted, "Why don't you start the boat yet, He Gongzi and Shen Gongzi are impatient." ”

"Sister Xu, these three people have to have fun with us." The turtle replied

Sister Xu glanced at Li Jing and the three of them a few times, although Li Jing wore a good shirt today, but it could not be compared with a silk shirt of tens of taels or hundreds of taels of high-ranking officials and nobles. Sister Xu, a veteran of the party, couldn't look down on her at all, frowned and said lightly to Li Jing: "Childe, I'm sorry, there are distinguished guests who have chartered us today, and if you want to come to play, you can only wait for tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, maybe the distinguished guest who chartered the painting boat knows Lao Tzu!" Li Jing said as he pushed the turtle who was blocking him aside, strode towards Sister Xu, and when he reached Sister Xu's side, he threw a wink at her.

Anyone who has been a soldier in the army knows such a sentence, 'After three years of being a soldier, a sow is a sable cicada', although this Sister Xu is a little older, she is still very royal sister, and her skills must be very good, Li Jing wants to sleep with her.

Sister Xu didn't know that Li Jing had this kind of idea, otherwise she would be happy to help him break the place, and then seal a few copper red envelopes. She didn't have the heart to think about it now, because Li Jing knew very well that this uncle was here to find trouble.

Note: "Qing Historical Manuscript Biography 14" says: The algae is a dictionary, and it is known to the lord with its integrity, and it is Chinese and foreign. Ying Ju held the festival on the edge and made a performance. If you don't learn to the military, your measures will be out of order, and you will be martyred.

The vernacular means that Liu Zao was born in the lexical department, and because he had not been corrupted, he was known by Qianlong, and the court and the local government did a good job. When Yang Yingju was a frontier official, he had a good reputation and political achievements. Although these two goods are good, the key thing is that these two goods have not brought troops to fight, so it is inevitable that they will make stupid moves in the war against Burma, which is the main reason for the defeat and death of these two goods.
