Chapter 143: Coaxing and Fear
Chapter 143 Even coaxing and scareting
In the early morning, under the shroud of the rising sun, a misty Shanyang City seems to be draped in a colorful and changeable veil, like a dream, a holy realm on earth!
As soon as the guards opened the city gate, Su Shang rushed in with his team of personal soldiers, and reappeared on the streets of Shanyang City, but Su Shang and the others had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
"Huang Lin, go up and knock on the door!" Su Shang gestured to Huang Lin.
"Yes, young master!" Huang Lin immediately jumped off his horse and stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Who? So early? Yes! It turned out to be Master Hou, please come in! ”
It was still Li Dejian who opened the door, and when he saw Su Shang and the others standing outside the door, he was very surprised, but he still invited Su Shang in very enthusiastically!
"Father, mother, Donglaihou is here!" Li Dejian shouted into the courtyard!
In the courtyard, Li Jing was holding a big knife for morning exercises, a seven-foot long knife was practiced by him, the knife light was impermeable, on the edge of the yard, Zhang Chuchen with a silk cloth in his hand was carefully wiping all kinds of weapons, and from time to time he looked back, his eyes were full of love and tenderness!
"Donglaihou is here again?"
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, put down the tools in their hands and prepared to go out to greet them. Suddenly, Li Jing's footsteps that were about to take stopped again, as if he had thought of something, and his face instantly became a little pale!
"Husband, why don't you leave?" Zhang Chuchen looked at Li Jing with some doubts!
"It's okay! Let's go, let's go out to meet Donglaihou! In an instant, Li Jing hid the changes on his face again, and forced himself to walk out calmly!
Li Jing's family of three welcomed Su Shang into the living room again, and after some politeness, Li Jing's face turned straight, and he clenched his fists and asked, "The general is going and returning, there must be something important!" Please also give the general's orders! Wherever he can, Li Jing will definitely try his best to help! ”
After speaking, Li Jing stared at Su Shang tightly, his expression was slightly nervous, worried, and his originally calm face also changed slightly, and he turned slightly pale!
Zhang Chuchen and Li Dejian, mother and son, who were standing behind him, also seemed to think of something when they heard the words, and their eyes also looked at Su Shang, but their faces became very pale in an instant.
"It's just a trivial matter, Brother Jing don't worry!"
Su Shang smiled slightly, then turned straight again, and said cautiously: "I received news that the Turkic Shibi Khan has led an army of 400,000 to the south, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous for Brother Jing to stay here, so I am going to invite Brother Jing's family to our Donglai County for temporary refuge!"
"Take refuge in Donglai County?"
Li Jing looked at Su Shang with some doubts, he couldn't figure it out, but it was not his character to run away in case of trouble, and then he hugged his fist and saluted Su Shang, "Thank you for the kindness of the general!" But I, Li Jing, am a dignified man, how can I run away from ...... when I encounter trouble?"
Before Li Jing finished speaking, his wife Zhang Chuchen behind him secretly pulled him and said directly: "Fulang, since it is 400,000 Turkic cavalry going south, it is useless for us to stay here, and we can only die in vain." It's better to listen to the general's words and go to Donglai County to avoid it first! ”
"Mrs. Li is right! The 400,000 Turkic army came prepared, and Brother Jing's family stayed here with only two results, one was to sacrifice their lives for the country with their wives and children, and the other was to be captured by the Turkic army together. Taking a step back, even if Brother Jing doesn't worry about himself, he should think about Mrs. Li's safety, right? ”
"This?" Li Jing's face was a little pale, his eyes looked at his wife Zhang Chuchen tightly, and he didn't know what to say!
Su Shang is right, he can ignore his own life, but he can't ignore the safety of his wife, as a woman, once it falls into the hands of the Turks, she will be in a dilemma, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
After a long time, Li Jing gritted his teeth and said to his wife: "Madam, I'm sorry for you for my husband!" As a court official, how can a husband escape from the national crisis and put his people in the midst of fire and water? In that case, Li Jing, as a dignified seven-foot man, has no face to face his wife and children, and survive in the world! ”
After speaking, Li Jing turned around and bowed to Su Shang and clenched his fists, "Li Jing begs the general for help to send my wife and children to Donglai County!" General Ende, Li Jing will be unforgettable! ”
"Brother Jing's righteousness, Su Shang admires it very much!"
Su Shang solemnly clasped his fist at Li Jing, and immediately agreed: "Please rest assured, Brother Jing, I will definitely send them to Donglai County safely!"
After speaking, he immediately turned back to Huang Lin and ordered, "Go!" Bring those two little maidservants in and let them help Madame pack her things! We're running out for time, so let's get them fast! ”
"Yes!"
Seeing Zhang Chuchen's face with sadness, and taking the two maidservants into the inner room silently, Su Shang was secretly happy in his heart, no need to force it, the effect is better, as long as Zhang Chuchen's mother and son arrive in Donglai County, Li Jing can only take refuge in himself in the future, and the development of things has come to this point, which is surprisingly smooth, Su Shang can't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Jing, our Donglai Alliance Army has also sent 25,000 soldiers this time, ready to go to the front line of Yanmen County to resist the Turkic alien race, Brother Jing is alone, since he has the heart to resist the enemy, it is better to temporarily join our alliance, and we will fight against the Turkic alien race together!"
Li Jing thought about it for a while, thinking that Su Shang was right, so he wanted to say yes, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he didn't speak again, but looked at Su Shang with some anger!
He understood, this was Su Shang's purpose, Su Shang just wanted to let himself join the alliance, including persuading himself to send his wife and children to Donglai County, all for this purpose! It's a pity that he was too anxious and excited just now, and he fell for Su Shang, otherwise even if the Turkic cavalry really came in, he could send his wife and children to other counties for temporary refuge, and he didn't have to be sent so far to Donglai County at all!
"General, that's what you're for, right?" Although he had promised Su Shang to send his wife and children to Donglai County, it was not good to regret it, but Li Jing was still a little indignant.
Su Shang knew that Li Jing had already figured it out, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Brother Jing is right, I just want you to agree to join our ally!" Brother Jing is talented, but he wants to stay here to be a little county prince, Su Shang really can't bear it! ”
Listening to Su Shang's honest words, Li Jing's angry mood was a little better, but he suddenly thought of a possibility, he understood why his wife held him just now, why she agreed to go to Donglai County, she was worried that she would directly refuse Su Shang, but it would lead to death!
Thinking of this, Li Jing's mood was a little stable just now, and he had a feeling of wanting to bào zhà, "General, if I still don't agree, do you still want to kill the killer to prevent future troubles!" ”
Su Shang laughed, "Brother Jing thinks too much!" Although I, Su Shang, have a little ambition, I am not a vicious person, how can I destroy people casually? Besides, the talented people in the world are like carp crossing the river, they haven't taken refuge in me, I can't kill them all! However, Brother Jing is a great talent, and since I know it, I don't want to leave an accident for myself, so I can only invite Brother Jing to live in Donglai City for a period of time! ”
After speaking, Su Shang pointed to the small courtyard outside the hall door, "Brother Jing, look, I even have the people under the carriage ready for you!" ”
Only then did Li Jing notice that there were still two two-horse carriages parked in the courtyard, and the two little maids were carefully placing all kinds of things in the carriage with the help of the soldiers!
Li Jing's mood calmed down at this time, although Su Shang's approach was a little compulsive, but from another point of view, this was actually Su Shang's affirmation of himself, as well as the importance of himself, he also believed that Su Shang did not deceive himself, if Su Shang really planned to kill people without a word, then there was no need for him to prepare two big carriages in advance!
Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
