On the day that Li Zhang was about to leave Gyeongju, news finally came from the party that Li Deming finally died, and he died very suddenly, it is said that Li Deming died on the road soon after escaping from the ghost horse road, because of his injuries, and his son Li Chengyu claimed that Li Deming passed the throne to him before he died, and now he is rushing to Xingzhou, that is, the nest of the party members to inherit the throne and compete for the power of the party.

"What about Li Yuanhao, although he is crippled, I'm afraid he won't easily give up the throne to this Li Chengyu, right?" After Li Zhang heard the news brought by Cao Mata above, he immediately asked.

Regarding Li Deming's death, although Li Zhang and they all had such speculations before, after all, the other party was wounded by a gunshot wound in Ghost Horse Road, but when the news came, he still couldn't believe it, especially Li Zhang knew very well that Li Deming in history obviously had nearly ten years to live, but now he was really killed in advance by himself?

"I don't know the situation on Li Yuanhao's side, after all, the news came too suddenly, and there has been no news from Xingzhou's side yet, but according to my father's estimate, even if Li Yuanhao is completely decadent, Li Chengyu may not be able to sit on the throne of King Xia safely, I'm afraid that a civil strife will break out in Xingzhou soon!" Cao Yu said excitedly again at this time, whether it was Li Deming's death or the party's civil strife, it was excellent news for the Great Song Dynasty.

Hearing Cao Wei's analysis of this matter, Li Zhang also deeply agreed, and according to the records of Li Yuanhao in the history books, it should be impossible for this person to be knocked down by a blow, so after Li Chengyu returns this time, I am afraid that Li Yuanhao will definitely not be willing to give up the throne that should belong to him, and there will be a good show within the party at that time.

"It's a pity that I'm leaving, I'm afraid I can't see this good show of fratricidal cannibalism!" Li Zhang suddenly showed a look of regret at this time, and Cao Mata, who was next to him, was frightened when he heard his words, the reason why the party has become the current situation can be said to be caused by Li Zhang, who would have thought that this teenage boy in front of him would have such a means to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain?

"My father also said, if you stay in Gyeongju for a few more years, I'm afraid the party will have to be destroyed in your hands, and he also said that you will be able to enter the phase in the future, let me make friends with you, but unfortunately my sisters are either married, or they are engaged early, otherwise my father will definitely marry my sister to you, but I still have a lot of cousins, and my father said yesterday that he wants to find a talented and beautiful Xu from his cousin to you." Cao Ma said again half-jokingly and half-seriously at this time.

"Excuse me, I don't want to get married now, I understand General Cao's kindness!" Li Zhang heard that Cao Wei was going to marry his niece to him, and hurriedly refused, because he remembered that Zhao Zhen's third queen in the future, that is, the Empress Cao, was the daughter of Cao Wei's younger brother, and this Empress Cao was still a second marriage, and her life experience could also be called a "legend", but it was still much worse than her mother-in-law Liu E.

Although the news of Li Deming's death made Li Zhang ecstatic, he did not change his itinerary because of this, after all, the capital was very urgent, especially the word "quick return" given to him by Liu E, which made him feel at ease in the capital, so after chatting with Cao Mata for a few words, he left Gyeongju City in a car with wild dogs.

Hu Yan Shouxin and Li Zhang also went out of the city together, Cao Yu, the Jin family, Di Qing and others also came to see each other, and even Cao Wei came in person, but because of the news of Li Deming's death, everyone on the road was also discussing this matter, which diluted the sadness of parting.

"Li Zhang, this is the clothes and dry food that my mother and I prepared for you on the road, you must also pay attention to safety along the way!" When they finally separated, Jin Xiaomei handed over a bag of clothes and dry food to Li Zhangdao, and her chubby face was also full of tears.

Speaking of Jin Xiaomei, she has grown taller again, although Li Zhang has grown a lot taller, but she is still half a head shorter than her, such a tall woman is really rare in the Great Song Dynasty, so Jin Shan and Mrs. Jin are also worried about how she should marry in the future, after all, it is not easy for a woman who is too tall to marry, fortunately, with the growth of Jin Xiaomei, her weight has also decreased, and now although she is still fat, she is much thinner than at the beginning.

"Then you're welcome!" Li Zhang immediately accepted it with a smile, there is no need to say thank you for his relationship with the Jin family, Mrs. Jin and Jin Shan almost treat him as family.

"Remember to write to me when you go back, and there are also Yan Niang and Tanuki, and let them not forget me, when I have time in the future, maybe I will go back to the capital to visit them!" Jin Xiaomei was also quite reluctant to say at this time.

"Originally, it would be my sister's birthday in another month, and my sister didn't have many friends in Gyeongju, so I thought I would invite you and wild dogs to come over to celebrate her birthday that day, but the capital is urging so tightly, I won't keep you!" Jin Shan also stepped forward at this time, before he helped Li Zhang rectify the border market, but he didn't want to serve in the government, but wanted to do business on his own, Li Zhang also respected his choice, anyway, there are Cao family father and son to help take care of it, no matter what Jin Shan does, don't worry.

Li Zhang is a rough person, he sometimes can't even remember his birthday, so when he heard that Jin Xiaomei's birthday in another month, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then thought that Jin Xiaomei had prepared food and clothes for herself on the road, and he should give her a birthday gift in advance.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang also touched himself, and found that there are not many things that can be used as gifts, purses, jade pendants and other things can't be given away casually, so as not to cause misunderstandings, and the rest of the money bags and the like can't be used as gifts, in addition to a pistol, this Li Zhang is really reluctant, after all, there are only two in this world, and the other one has long been booked by Zhao Zhen.

In the end, Li Zhang finally took something from his waist, which was very suitable for Jin Xiaomei, so he personally handed it to her and said: "Little sister, your birthday is approaching, and I haven't prepared any decent gifts, this dagger is for my self-defense, you like to practice martial arts, and you can use the dagger more than me!" ”

This dagger was also found by Li Zhang from the plane, there were not many short knives and daggers for hunting in the box, except for giving a short knife to the wild dog, only Lu Wu was given one, and the rest Li Zhang brought a dagger with him, and now he just gave it to Jin Xiaomei.

Jin Xiaomei was a little embarrassed at first, after all, Li Zhang and her were the same age, although the relationship between the two was good, but receiving gifts from men of the same age still made her feel a little shy, but Jin Shan had already taken it for her, and took out the dagger in front of her and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This dagger and the wild dog's short knife seem to be made with the same technique, it can't be from the same person." ”

Jin Shan has seen the short knife of the wild dog, but the knife of the wild dog baby is terrible, usually others can't even touch it, just now when he saw Li Zhang send out the dagger, he thought of the short knife of the wild dog from the appearance, so he hurriedly took it, because he knew that Jin Xiaomei would definitely like it.

"Yes, this dagger and short knife are originally a set." Li Zhang nodded with a smile.

"Great, I accepted the gift, thank you!" As soon as Li Zhang's words fell, Jin Xiaomei reached out and grabbed the dagger in Jin Shan's hand and said in surprise, she also knew that the wild dog had an extremely sharp short knife, but the wild dog usually did not use it easily, and she rarely saw it.

"Sister Jin, if you don't like it, why don't you give it to me!" At this time, Di Qing also pounced on Jin Xiaomei with a dead face, he has always taken the wild dog as his goal since he lost to the wild dog, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried during this time, he was not the opponent of the wild dog, and he had seen the wild dog practice the knife with his own eyes, and he was also very envious of his short knife that sharpened iron like clay, and now he saw a dagger with the same sharpness, he naturally wanted to ask for it.

"Want? I'll talk about it when you can beat me! Jin Xiaomei directly put away the dagger and said with a smile.

As a result, Di Qing immediately collapsed when he heard Jin Xiaomei's words, not only could he not beat the wild dogs, but even Jin Xiaomei couldn't beat him, this can't be blamed on him, firstly, Jin Xiaomei is a few years older than him, and secondly, although Jin Xiaomei is a woman, she is tall and has practiced martial arts all year round, Di Qing has not grown up yet, so she is naturally not Jin Xiaomei's opponent.

Seeing Di Qing's appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help laughing, and then thought for a moment and spoke again: "Di Qing, if you can kill thousands of enemies in the future, I will give you the same dagger!" ”

"Really?" Di Qing's eyes lit up when he heard Li Zhang's words, although it is not something that ordinary people can accomplish by killing thousands of enemies, this kind of military merit can be promoted to the top of the capital at the lowest in the border army, but he is very confident, plus the official positions of Cao Yu, Huyan Shouxin and others he usually contacts are relatively high, so it is nothing in his eyes.

"Of course it's true, as long as you can kill a thousand enemies, I will send someone to send the dagger, but it must be the real enemy, that is, the one recorded in the military merit book!" Li Zhang smiled again at the moment, there are military merits in the army, which are used to record the number of enemies killed by soldiers and other merits, which are used for future promotions.

"No problem, as long as the enemy dares to come, it won't take me a few years to accumulate such military merits!" Di Qing patted his chest and assured at the moment, looking at his newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, Cao Wei and the others next to him couldn't help but smile, maybe they didn't believe much in the words of a young man like Di Qing, but in the future, Di Qing's achievements would definitely shock all of them, and even Cao Wei's fame would be suppressed by Di Qing.

It's not too early, Li Zhang said goodbye to everyone again, and then set out on the way home from Tokyo with the wild dog, but after leaving Tokyo for so long, I don't know what the situation is over there?
