Chapter 386: A Busy Night

The merchant really lived up to Li Huaitang's expectations, although there was no help from Qi Jishan, but Shang Bafang still did his best to rescue the person Li Huaitang wanted, Li Siye, from prison, and arranged the identity of the family for him, so that he could rush to Ningyuan City with Linglong Shuangshu, although the process was a little tortuous because of many matters, but finally arrived at the destination.

Li Siye was quite surprised, Li Huaitang valued him very much, and wrote to him personally, 'wanting' to ask him to be the general of the thousand cavalry of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, and lead the Mo Sword Army. From the words of the letter, Li Huaitang's appreciation of him and his thirst for talent are revealed. As the saying goes, a scholar dies for himself, and it is difficult for him to continue to 'mix' in the Tang Dynasty, even if the court no longer investigates his guilt, I am afraid that no one will dare to reuse him in the future, after all, no one can afford to offend the martial arts. Going to Ningyuan City became Li Siye's only choice, but when he heard the news of Ning Yuan's victory, he felt quite remorseful, and he only hated why he didn't go to Ningyuan City earlier, so that he missed a series of thrilling battles that could even go down in history.

As the merchant's family guard, Li Siye also followed Linglong Xiaoniang into the General's Mansion, and the servant did not know Li Siye's true identity and arranged him to the entourage housing.

After hurriedly eating the meal, Li Siye took the forage and went to the stable to feed the horses.

"Damn martial artist, why didn't Lian Tian kill him with long eyes?" Li Siye cursed Wu Xin while adding feed to the pack horse. If it weren't for Wu Xin's order to detain the merchant and his party in Shule Town, he would have been able to catch up with the Qianghu coalition army.

"You are not afraid to insult the martial arts!" A violent drink sounded behind Li Siye. Li Siye was taken aback, looked back, but heard a voice: "Look at the fist!" ”

Li Siye instinctively raised his hand to block, and a powerful force came, 'forced' him back two steps.

The attacker did not pursue, but said with a smile: "Brother Li's reaction is not slow!" ”

"General!" Li Siye looked at it fixedly, and found that the attacker was actually Li Huaitang.

Li Huaitang arched his hand and said: "If you are sluggish, please don't be surprised by Brother Heiye." I have just returned from outside the city, and I have just learned that you are in the house. I haven't seen him for many days, but my brother is still as vigorous as ever. ”

Li Siye said: "The general has a good reputation, but the heir is just a brute force, but the general can afford it, and he is a thousand cavalry generals before he has made an inch, and he is really ashamed to be a general. ”

Li Huaitang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "The head of the leader of the Ning Yuan Mo Sword Army is the heir brother, who in the world can compete with him?" Needless to say, I have a point, and you will have your own experience in the future. ”

"In that case, the heir is ashamed! In the future, do you dare to be the first to repay the general's kindness? It will be promoted with military merit. It's just that "as soon as the conversation changed, Li Siye's face 'color' appeared with a sense of embarrassment."

Li Huaitang said: "If you have any ideas, you might as well say it directly." ”

Li Siye nodded and said solemnly: "Li Siye is from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is like a nurturing parent to Li Siye. ”

"Good! The heir is indeed loyal! Since there is something to say, I will answer it. Brother Siye is burly, powerful, courageous, and most importantly, affectionate and righteous, and it is Li Huaitang's blessing to have the help of Brother Siye. Contrary to Li Siye's expectations, Li Huaitang not only did not get angry, but on the contrary, he admired his attitude in his tone.

Perhaps Li Siye's worries are not unreasonable, with the growing strength of Ningyuan City, it is inevitable that one day there may be contradictions and conflicts with the Tang Dynasty, and it is not unfounded that the swords and soldiers meet in the same room to '' Ge, but there is really a day, Li Huaitang did not plan to fight a tough battle with the powerful Tang army, after many battles with the Qianghu coalition army, he was more willing to the mobile combat mode of the light cavalry army. The main target of the Modao Army is Hu Qi.

Talking about happiness, Li Huaitang actually 'wanted' to pull Li Siye to drink and continue to blow, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and the six monkeys brought the news of the Tang army generals asking to see him.

The general who escorted the merchant Xiaoniang to Ningyuan City called Lai Yao, the son of the new deputy capital of Anxi to protect Lai Yao, who was born in the 'door', and there was no lack of courage and courage.

"Captain Guo Yi of the Anxi Army has come to Yao to see General Ning Yuan!" When I saw Li Huaitang, I came to meet him with a military salute. Respect has always been based on hard work, Li Huaitang's impressive achievements under the city of Ningyuan have been introduced to the border towns of the Tang Dynasty through business travel, and the Tubo rout captured by Lai Yao has also confirmed this. Soldiers have always only admired bravery and worshiped heroes, and Li Huaitang, who broke more than 200,000 beards, announced to the world through this battle that he was worthy of the title of hero. Perhaps people will still believe in the various magical legends about Li Huaitang before, and after this battle, no one will deny his great achievements. Hundreds of Anxi soldiers who escorted Shang Xiaoniang to Ningyuan City were even more convinced of Li Huaitang's legend, and the first thing they did when they entered the city to rest was to frantically inquire about the battle.

At the end of a few short greetings, Lai Yao said apologetically: "Lai Yao is a soldier, you should take the military order first, the two wives who detained the general before are really forced to do so, and please ask the general Haihan." ”

To tell the truth, Li Huaitang was very angry about Datang's actions, and he hijacked Ye Ji to occupy Ningyuan City, and then detained the merchant Xiaoniang and threatened him with his life. However, the other party finally restrained himself, did not worsen the situation, and took the initiative to escort the two little ladies of the merchant over in a friendly gesture.

Stretching out his hand and not hitting sincere people, Lai Yao's attitude was humble, so that Li Huaitang could not be angry with him, after all, he was only the one who was ordered, and he also had the credit of escorting.

Li Huaitang asked lightly: "Come to the captain to ask for a meeting at night, if you are not here to do homework, please speak up if you have something to say." ”

"The general is really refreshing!" Lai Yao saluted again and said solemnly: "I heard that Ning Yuan has won a great victory in iron cavalry, and the road is smooth, Lai Yao has a mission to welcome Princess Broken Leaf and the three Tang envoys back to China, please complete it." ”

Li Huaitang could hear the implication of Yao's words, the Tang Dynasty could open one eye and close one eye, and only treat Princess Broken Leaf and the three Tang envoys as stranded in Ningyuan City due to the war, and not pursue Li Huaitang's crime of unauthorized seizure.

However, Li Huaitang did not appreciate it and said, "As long as the three Tang envoys are willing, they can leave on the same day." It's just that I don't have any Broken Leaf Princess here. ”

"The general dares to be bold, there are many people who have seen you take Princess Broken Leaf away, this imperial brother has confirmed it." Lai Yao was a little annoyed, he thought that Li Huaitang wanted to deny it.

Li Huaitang sneered: "What I rescued from Broken Leaf Town is Pei Ruoxi, the little lady of the Pei family, she is my wife who has not passed the 'door'. My marriage with Pei Xiaoniang, I will propose to the Pei family, it has nothing to do with you. ”

"You, you're going to marry Princess Broken Leaf?" Lai Yao's face was shocked.

Li Huaitang said: "Okay, this matter ends here." The three Tang envoys have already asked people to invite, and they will be here soon. As an excuse for the misunderstanding, I would like to present you with a great gift. ”

For Li Huaitang's arrogance, he refused to return Princess Broken Leaves, and the three Tang envoys who came later had nothing to do, they had already suffered a loss. When the three of them thought that they couldn't 'make a deal' when they went back, they suddenly heard that Liu Dark's 'flower' was bright and another village: Li Huaitang actually wanted to marry Princess Broken Leaves!

The surprise that the three Tang envoys did not expect continued: "As a dowry, I will give it to Datang with Broken Leaf Town." In addition, there are the Kang monarch Wulejia, the Shi monarch Si Jinti, the Mi monarch, and the Tuqi Shi Moto, who is one of the culprits of the Ake River burst. ”

Before Ningyuan's victory, if Li Huaitang said that he would marry Datang, it is estimated that Datang would only ignore it as a joke, and Ningyuan's victory became a water-dividing line. Li Huaitang Qingzhou has quietly crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains, and proudly entered the kingdom of the king with the power of Hu 200,000, and the momentum of building a state is unstoppable, and the marriage is a matter of course.

Qi Jishan and others figured it out, Ningyuan City is better for friends than enemies, and although the so-called country is big, it will die if it is warlike. The Tang Dynasty only has 30,000 soldiers and horses in Anxi, even if the three armies in Beiting are added, it will be doubled at most, and it cannot have an effective deterrent to Ningyuan City. 'Force' Ning Yuancheng to the hostile side is undoubtedly an extremely stupid move. Looking around at the princes of the Western Regions, only Ningyuan City can contain them and relieve the pressure on Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, especially from Tubo and the powerful Great Food State.

Qi Jishan's eyes lit up, sweeping away the depression that had accumulated over the past few days. He knew that with his relationship with Li Huaitang, as long as he came forward to marry the 'jade', in the future, when Li Huaitang made contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and exerted influence, it would be the day he was awarded the medal, and his merits might even become a good story in history.

"Good. Li Langzi invited, I should play the Ming Sheng, but there is no joke in front of the king, I believe that Li Langzi is 100% sure of the sacrifice of prisoners, is that Broken Leaf Town a dowry, Li Langzi has to think about it. Qi Jishan kindly reminded. In fact, he believed that as long as Li Huaitang offered the monarchs of Zhaowu to Chang'an, the emperor would most likely accept his request for marriage, and there was no need to add another fetters to himself that seemed to him to be full of unknowns.

The low and dilapidated Broken Leaf City wall couldn't stop Li Huaitang's determination, and he had a 'chest' to take down the broken leaf big teeth of the Tuqi Shi people: "It's okay, although my uncle returned to the Tang Dynasty to preach like this, the Tuqi Shi people will obediently return Prince Ning to Chang'an when they hear the news, and Brother Huangfu will go back to 'hand' on a 'handover'." Don't worry, within a year, I will break the big tooth of the leaf and return a broken leaf town to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Huangfu Weiming nodded with excitement. Of course, he knew that Li Huaitang's purpose was to rescue Prince Ning and clear the last obstacle for him to marry Pei Xiaoniang. The Tuqi Shi people who have been beaten by Li Huaitang are definitely not willing to offend the Tang Dynasty again, in case the Tang Dynasty and Li Huaitang unite, their big teeth will be overturned, Li Huaitang's move is a demonstration to the Tuqi Shi people, Sulu Khan will definitely not watch Li Huaitang and the Tang Dynasty become in-laws, and then turn to conspire with his broken leaf big teeth, and return Ning Wang Ye to calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty, and even use this line to destroy Li Huaitang's marriage.

Qi Jishan asked, "Then when does Li Langzi plan to go to the Tang Dynasty to ask the saint for the princess?" ”

Li Huaitang looked distressed: "Just after the battle, although our army won a great victory, the casualties were incalculable, the enemy chieftain was not dead, and the people's hearts were unstable, so I still need some time to deal with it." Please take the Tang envoys back to the Holy One step first, and Ning Yuan Li Huaitang will personally take Pei Ruoxi to Chang'an after the 'spring'. ”

Qi Jishan said: "That's fine." Without further ado, please ask Li Langzi to 'hand' me the captive dedicated to the Holy Lord, and we will leave for Datang tomorrow. ”

Li Huaitang said with a smile: "The scenery of Ningyuan City is not as good as the Central Plains, but it also has another taste, you have not been able to appreciate it because of the war, why not stay for a few more days, so that I can entertain you as a landlord." ”

Wu Xin sneered: "General Li doesn't want to regret it, right?" ”

"Hehe, the secretary is heavy." Li Huaitang said unhurriedly: "The captives are always going to be brought back to you, but they still owe me money that has not been repaid, and they can't leave for the time being." ”

"I owe you money?" The four of them were puzzled and looked at each other.

Li Huaitang nodded solemnly, took out several pieces of Ningyuan City's 'fine' Meiwu's paper from his arms and handed them to the four of them.

Qi Jishan took one of them, spread it out and looked at it, and his eyes almost fell out of his sockets.

The paper is written in black and white about the crimes of the monarch of Kang Guoguo, Wulejia, because of his fault, how much the military and civilians of Ningyuan City have lost, and how much compensation needs to be paid, written clearly and in detail, a total of 21 articles, a total of 500,000 dirhams must be compensated, and others such as Shi Guomi Guo compensated 500,000 and 300,000 respectively, the reason why Shi Guo wanted 500,000 is because of its production of gold and silver, it is estimated that there are a lot of Gu Si in the treasury, and Gu Si will definitely not dare to go back.

"This, this, Li Langzi, aren't you messing around?" Qi Jishan couldn't cry or laugh.

Li Huaitang said: "Yes! It's nonsense. Hu people make trouble in my Ningyuan City, kill my soldiers, destroy my business opportunities, and smash my city 'gate', this account has to be borne by someone, and the last copper coin in my house has been taken out to deal with the aftermath, which is far from enough. I don't kill them just because they have all been canonized by the saints, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and they don't want to leave without compensation! ”

After selecting important targets from the captives, Li Huaitang forced these kings to sign an indemnity agreement, Li Huaitang did not care whether they were forced or voluntary, in short, if they had no money, they had to be repaid as slaves, and within a limited time, if their retainers did not send compensation, they would all cut off two ears and send them to the mines.

Li Huaitang didn't know that his move had been branded as a philistine businessman in the hearts of Qi Jishan, Wuxin and others. Another theory, everyone still couldn't convince Li Huaitang to change his mind.

Sending off the four Tang VIPs, Ye Ji's figure appeared.

"It's cold at night, Madame be careful to keep warm." Li Huaitang hugged Ye Ji regretfully, now Ye Ji's belly is bulging, and he doesn't dare to hug it.

Ye Ji smiled: "I'm not afraid, it's okay to wear less in the past, not to mention that now that I have a coat and Shiro is also by my side, the concubine's heart is warm." ”

"Huh? Pastry? Li Huaitang noticed that there was a small plate of 'fine' pastries on the desk, which was exactly the same as the one Ye Ji made for him in Qishi City back then.

Ye Ji said: "This is made by the concubine herself, I haven't made pastries for Shiro for a long time, Shiro try it." ”

"Well, it's delicious!" Li Huaitang walked over and tasted a piece. "Compared to the time when I was in the city of begging, this one is much sweeter."

Ye Ji quietly looked at Li Huaitang's eating appearance and gently wiped the corners of his mouth for him.

"Yes, Ningyuan City has everything, yesterday I went to Beishi and saw sugar on the market, I heard that it was shipped from Tianzhu Kingdom, and the concubine remembered the pastries of the year when she saw the sugar, so she bought some and put it in the noodles."

"Sugar?" A wonderful thought suddenly flashed through Li Huaitang's mind.

"Shiro," Ye Ji interrupted.

"Huh?"

"Does Shiro really want to keep those kings as slaves?"

"Of course!"

"But are their families or ministers willing to pay the ransom?" Ye Ji was not optimistic about Li Huaitang's idea.

"Hehe, why don't we bet?" The smile was very bad, very 'swinging', so that Ye Ji had the illusion of seeing a fox.

Ye Ji thought about it and nodded in agreement, she felt that the odds were great.

"If Shiro loses, the concubine will need a Han knife." Since the advent of the Han knife, everyone has been vying to be proud of owning this knife, its connotation is sharp and practical, and the appearance is beautiful and generous, far more attractive than the strange-looking scimitar or the domineering Tang knife, especially for a 'female' soldier like Ye Ji. Sava got a Han knife because of his military exploits, and Ye Ji, as the leader, still hangs a scimitar on her waist, Ye Ji's face is very unbearable, but Han knives are scarce, and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Rider are not equipped enough, Ye Ji has been embarrassed to speak, taking this rare opportunity, of course she doesn't want to 'waste' money.

"Turn!" Li Huaitang continued to laugh evilly, "If Madame loses, Madame will emulate the strengths of the merchant lady and spend the night with her husband." ”

"Huh?" Ye Ji immediately understood what Li Huaitang's evil smile just now represented, a little ashamed, a little angry, and finally gritted his silver teeth and acquiesced.

However, she miscalculated, Li Huaitang sent a blackmail letter, accompanied by the threat of war, with the power of an unprecedented victory to "turn the fate", scaring them to death, forgive them for not even daring to snub, it is certain to send compensation, the only suspense is how many days in advance they will be delivered.

The gamble was just beginning, and coincidentally, a soldier came to tell him that the prince of the rice country sent someone to deliver a ransom, and he had been waiting under the 'gate' of Xicheng for a long time.

"Huh?" Ye Ji covered her mouth and exclaimed, turned around and 'wanted to escape', but she couldn't escape Li Huaitang's claws.

The money of the people of the United States has their own small chestnuts to receive, and Li Huaitang wants to receive the lottery of the gambling game.

In Ye Ji's boudoir, an uninvited guest hindered Li Huaitang's soaring **.

"You, why are you here?" Li Huaitang looked at the cramped and restless Liu Meiren in a daze. I don't know when she got into Ye Ji's bedroom.

"Concubine, concubine wants to talk to Sister Ye Ji about family life." Liu Meiren is slightly older than Ye Ji, and according to Li Huaitang's meaning, the younger age is naturally her younger sister.

"Humph! Want to lie to me? Confess and be lenient, otherwise you will be waiting for the family law immediately! Liu Meiren had nowhere to hide, and was held tightly by Li Huaitang.

"Don't!" Liu Meiren exclaimed, how could she be embarrassed by the "family law" in front of Ye Ji?

"The concubine said, the concubine said yes. That, that concubine is afraid that Li Lang will go to find a concubine tonight..."

Li Huaitang frowned and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"The concubine is afraid of getting pregnant, and if she is pregnant, she will not be able to go to the Tang Dynasty." Yoo Shangyue finally voiced her concerns.

Li Huaitang suddenly realized, no wonder Liu Meiren always finds excuses to avoid him these days, huh? Wrong! Purple purple is just as weird!

Li Huaitang asked, "Zizi also thinks the same?" ”

Liu Meiren lowered her head and nodded in acknowledgement.

There was a knock on the 'door' outside the room, and then Su Xiaoniang's crisp voice came: "Sister Ye Ji, it's me!" ”

The 'door' opened, and Su Xiaoniang looked at Li Huaitang, who was smiling at her, and was pulled in before she could react.

An inadvertent accident made Ye Ji's house so lively and full of 'spring' for the first time...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
