Yingzhou.

Tuoshui Ice Road.

There was a person standing quietly on the shore, facing Tuoshui Wu and being distracted.

He has been here for two days.

He was waiting for someone, but that person never showed up.

"Alas......"

Zheng Jue was draped in a thick fur coat and sighed lightly.

Zheng Jue has been to Li Zhen's mansion five times, but all of them have come to naught.

He knew that Li Zhen was in the mansion, but he didn't know why Li Zhen didn't see him.

But Zheng Jue has no resentment in his heart, and he has no hatred, otherwise the resentment that the Zheng family has accumulated for thousands of years will not be at peace every day?

Since the descendants of the Zheng family are on the wrong team and have done the wrong thing, they have to bear the consequences, and as the head of the Zheng family, it is naturally incumbent on them.

Zheng Jue was waiting here, because he knew that the young general would definitely come to see him.

"A good end of the Tuoshui Ice Road, Shengsheng has been chiseled into this appearance, this person must be a scourge, what does the Zheng family master think?"

A voice came from behind Zheng Jue, a very soft voice, with some regret in his words.

Zheng Jue didn't turn around because he knew who he was.

"Hehe, digging ice to get fish is just a survival method handed down by the ancestors, if you talk about the scourge, wouldn't even the ancestors scold?" Zheng Jue said with a smile.

Li Zhen thought about it very seriously, then nodded, and said, "It's also the same truth, it seems that what you did is not bad!" ”

Zheng Jue slowly turned around at this time, looked at Li Zhen, and smiled without saying a word.

Li Zhen bowed slightly and saluted, "Li Zhen has seen the Zheng family master!" ”

Seeing this, Zheng Jue couldn't help but nodded, and said, "The general is an official, and the old man is a citizen, this ceremony has passed!" ”

"The head of the Zheng family is the elder, and Li Zhen is the youngest, this gift should be!" Li Zhen replied.

"Hahaha! It is rare to be young and know etiquette, to be high and to keep festivals...... Rare! Zheng Jue laughed.

"Hehe, the head of the Zheng family went to the house to find me the day before yesterday!" Li Zhen asked with a smile.

"Not bad!"

"I ...... In the house! Li Zhen said again.

"The old man knows!" Zheng Jue said.

"Isn't the Zheng family head angry?" Li Zhen asked.

"Dare to ask the general, why is the old man angry?" Zheng Jue asked rhetorically.

Li Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said, "The matter of righteousness and respect for the public ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Jue wave his hand and preemptively said: "The old man believes that the general can't control the court situation, so naturally you can't blame you for this matter!" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Yi Jinggong is kind to me, things have come to this point, and the kid is ashamed of him!" ”

"Hehe, even if there is no general, Yijing will not be able to escape this situation after all, and the general does not have to blame himself!" Zheng Jue said with a smile.

Li Zhen stood two steps beside Zheng Jue, and there was one more person on the bank of Tuoshui.

"The Zheng family is looking for me, what is the matter?" Li Zhen asked.

"What does the general think the old man is looking for you?" Zheng Jue still asked rhetorically.

"That matter, the Zheng family really shouldn't be involved!" Li Zhen sighed lightly.

"But now that it's involved, you might as well say what the general wants!" Zheng Jue asked directly this time.

"If I want it, the Zheng family master can give it?" Li Zhen said with a smile.

"If you can give it, you will give it, if you can't give it, you won't give it, general, please say!"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "The kid doesn't want anything!" ”

Zheng Jue obviously didn't expect Li Zhen to answer like this, first he was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Hahaha, what the general wants, the old man can still give it!" ”

"Boy, thank you Zheng Family Master!" Li Zhen bowed and saluted, his face beaming with joy.

Zheng Jue smiled, and then took out a white jade from his belt, and then handed it to Li Zhen and said: "This jade is the old man's favorite thing, engraved with the old man's name, and it is given to the general today, no matter where in the future, if there is a need for my Zheng family, you can take out this thing!" ”

Li Zhen took it with both hands, and then solemnly put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Boy, thank you to the master of the Zheng family!" ”

Seeing this, Zheng Jue nodded and said with a smile: "The general is very special, more special than those people the old man has ever seen!" ”

"I've done some bad things before, I've done some good things, and I'm afraid that there will be bad things to do in the future!" Li Zhen replied with a smile.

"If the old man guessed correctly, Wang, Lu, and Cui, the general didn't want anything!" Zheng Jue asked.

"Except for the Lu family, the other two really didn't want it, the Cui family promised 1,000 acres of fertile land and 500 cows, but now I regret that I didn't ask for it!" Li Zhen said with a smile.

"What about the Lu family?" Zheng Jue was a little puzzled, since Li Zhen was able to reconcile with the three major clans, why did he fall to the next Lu clan.

Li Zhen sighed when he heard this, and said, "Someone killed the three members of the Lu family in Fanyang, and this grudge is completely settled!" ”

Zheng Jue was taken aback and said, "Zhang Zhijun killed?" ”

"Naturally not!" Li Zhen replied.

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't continue to reveal, Zheng Jue naturally didn't want to ask too much, and after thinking about it, he said softly to Li Zhen: "The old man still has something to ask for, I don't know ...... general."

"The head of the Zheng family can speak as bluntly as he can!"

Since he took someone else's things, it was naturally difficult to shirk at this time, and Li Zhen suddenly felt deceived.

"If my Zheng family is in trouble in the future, I hope the general can help me or two!" Zheng Jue looked at Li Zhen and said softly.

When Li Zhen heard this, he suddenly had an urge to stuff the jade jue back again, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only accept it.

"Don't worry, the head of the Zheng family, if the kid can do it, he will do his best to help!"

Li Zhen said, but secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, obviously he came to apologize, he owed himself a favor, but he also owed him a promise to the Zheng family.

For Zheng Jue, this deal is very cost-effective.

For Li Zhen, today is very aggrieved.

When he returned to the mansion, Li Zhen greeted Zheng Jue's ancestors in turn in front of Wang Shaoyi, the scene was extremely ferocious, and Wang Shaoyi was speechless again and again, and Zheng Zhen was angry and bloody, and almost threw the tea cup in his hand at Li Zhen.

Only then did Li Zhen remember that Zheng Zhen seemed to be of the same sect as Zheng Jue, so he had to give up and hide from Zheng Zheng Jue in a smoke.

But greetings and greetings, Li Zhen's impression of Zheng Jue is still good, after all, as the head of the family, everything he does must be considered for the family, Li Zhen can understand, if there is really such a day, he is also willing to help the Zheng family.

said that it was for Zheng Jue, but anyone with a discerning eye could see through it, and Li Zhen was more for Zheng Jue.

Li Zhen lied to Zheng Jue, because of the four major families of Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang, Li Zhen only saw Zheng Jue.

The reason why I didn't see it two days ago was because there was not only a pair of eyes staring at the Li Mansion at that time, if Li Zhen saw Zheng Jue, then he couldn't see the Lu family and the Wang family.

Zheng Jue went five times, and he figured it out the fifth time, so Zheng Jue went straight to the shore of Tuoshui.

At the same time, Zheng Jue also had more awe of this legendary boy who had never been masked.

Yes, it's awe.

Awe of this young man's city, awe of this young man's scheming.

After seeing Li Zhen, Zheng Jue felt a little more relieved.

I am glad that this young man is straightforward, and I am pleased with this young man's kindness.

It's kindness.

Because from that moment on, Zheng Jue knew that the young man's goal had never been the Four Great Clans, let alone trying to get anything from the Four Great Clans.

Because his target is Chen Qiong.

When the four major families deigned to visit Li Zhen, Chen Qiong knew that he was at the end of his rope.

But Chen Qiong did not have the courage of Wu Zhuo, the defense envoy of the gold merchants, and he did not have the madness of Duan Chongjian, the assassin of Shenzhou.

So Chen Qiong offered her own "gift" to Li Zhen.

A request for a letter to the officer, and a hundred and thirty-two deeds.

Naturally, it was not handed over to Li Zhen, but Tian Qi was.

The entire 3,000 and 80 mu of farmland, even with Zhang Zhongwu's official rank, is only 200 households, and these 3,080 mu of fertile land, in terms of one household per 10 mu, is equivalent to 300 households in Shishiyi.

A small official from Sipin Xia Prefecture has 300 households, and this is only the land that Chen Qiong has scavenged in the five years since he took office.

With a peep at the leopard, it is enough to imagine that there are countless officials like Chen Qiong in Datang, gnawing on the towering giant tree of Datang in a corner where the sun cannot take care of it.

Li Zhen didn't kill Chen Qiong after all, because he knew that he couldn't kill him.

In the blink of an eye, the first day was approaching, and the arrival of Li Chengye and Zhao Wan temporarily relaxed Li Zhen's heart that had been suppressed for a long time.

The day before Li Zhen left for Chang'an, he recommended a person to Zhang Zhifang to succeed him as the assassin of Yingzhou.

The county lieutenant of Jingcheng County, Zhang Zuo.

It was Zhang Zuo who resisted Nali to the death in Jingcheng County.

As for the rest......

Tian Wensheng's Qingyunzhai was divided into dozens of departments, which were stationed in various parts of the three towns of Lulong, Chengde, and Weibo, so as to facilitate the employment of merchants from all over the country.

With the help of Yang Jiuzhang, the organization named "Dart Bureau" by Li Zhen under Liu Hong's name is operating in an orderly manner, which will be the source of capital for Li Zhen to build an army.

And with the secret support of the envoys of the three towns of Heshuo, even if there were a few bandits who were not long-sighted, they were quickly eradicated by the garrisons in various places.

The daily income has also been sent to Youzhou in a steady stream, and the three wings will be filled soon.

As for the five Liu Guan brothers, there are not many recruits recruited, and the five of them have only recruited a total of 1,000 people, plus Li Zhen's original 3,000 iron cavalry, the army of 4,000 people is not much, and it is not too much to say less, but at least this is Li Zhen's own private army.

The border trouble has been calmed, there are soldiers in hand, the task assigned by the emperor's father half a year ago seems to have been completed, and after all these six months, Li Zhen is still the same Li Zhen, in addition to the desire for money as before, it seems that he has become less impulsive now, and some things can be endured.

For the future, Li Zhen has always had a clear goal, since he has been on this thief ship, there are some things he has to do.

For example, the Western Regions.

Since the first year of Su Zongqian, the Western Regions have been lost for eighty-eight years, which is the shame of the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Zhen knew that at this time, in Shazhou, far away in the Western Regions, there was a person named Zhang Yichao who was planning one thing, an immortal feat that would be remembered by history.

……

Juvenile travel, don't leave sorrow, a sword frost and cold nineteen states.

Qingfeng Terrace, Calyx Building, who envied the marquis of ten thousand households at that time.
