Jijing, Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, in the staff hall. After reading the documents sent by the Yunzhong Post Station in a hurry, Xia Houlie looked at Gao Huan, shook his head and sighed, "What a good young man, it's a pity that you will snatch it away again." ”

"Grandpa laughed!" Gao Huan smiled, he knew that the Zhenguo Gong in front of him, who cherished his talents, was willing to let Li Ang enter the black cavalry camp.

"I'm not joking, over the years, Daqin has not used swords for a long time, and the children of each family are much worse than before, and it is not a good thing to go on like this in the long run!" Xiahou Lie put the document aside and said, "The matter of the Turks this time is Mingjian, the tiger and leopard riding is much worse than thirty years ago, and if you don't fight, I'm really afraid that after ten years, the prestige of the Great Qin's strong soldiers will be ruined like this." ”

"You go back and tell Your Majesty that it's time to fight two battles, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that those Persians and Romans will forget about the scars and don't know the pain, and it will be a trouble to mess around when the time comes, so it's better to beat and beat them now and warn them."

Listening to Xiahou Lie's complaining words, Gao Huan smiled, "Grandpa's words, I will definitely tell Your Majesty, but Your Majesty seems to have already meant this, Duke Hao Guo often entered the palace to play chess with His Majesty some time ago." ”

"Oh, that old fox can't sit still, he is the ghost of the affairs of the Suppression Division and the Ministry of War!" Xia Houlie looked at it and laughed with some surprise. "I knew that this old fox did it, and only he could come up with these tricks."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, you go back to Chang'an, I will deal with those businessmen's affairs." Xiahou Lie got up from his chair and walked outside the staff hall, "As for the Turkic affairs. The young man is well written, you take it back to the military hall and show the old fox, I think the ones above are very tasty to him. ”

Seeing Xia Houlie's figure disappear at the door, Gao Huan picked up the documents on the table and unfolded them. "No wonder Zhen Guogong said this, it is indeed quite a bit of a general adult's demeanor." Stuffing the paperwork into his arms, Gao Huan shook his head and muttered to himself, and walked out of the staff hall.

The long night is coming to an end, the dawn has arrived, nearly a thousand Turkic merchants in the cloud city have been gathered, Peng Cheng stood on the high platform, looked at the panicked faces below, sneered, and said loudly. "The Turks offended Tianwei and should have sacrificed the military flag with the heads of Er. However, the emperor was merciful, and Nian'er and the others did not know. Therefore, spare your life. ”

As Peng Cheng's words fell, the soldiers of the Yunzhong Zhichong Mansion began to drive the Turkic merchants out of the city, who had been confiscated and had nothing left.

"My lord, I don't understand, why let these people go back, their goods have been robbed, and when they go back, they will be resentful. In the future, we will fight to the death with our army, and this is not an indulgence of the enemy. The adjutant beside Peng Cheng was puzzled. I couldn't help asking.

"Most of these people are doing business for the nobles of the Turkic tribes, and we will confiscate their goods, and they will definitely tell their masters when they go back. Do you think those nobles will be like this? Peng Cheng didn't answer, but just asked rhetorically.

"Xiaguan understands that the things in the clouds were provoked by the Turks, and the treasures of those Turkic nobles were copied, and the one who hated them the most should be the one who made these things." The adjutant understood, "As long as the rumors are released at that time, even if they don't fight among themselves, they won't be as harmonious as before." ”

"Not bad." Peng Cheng nodded and said, "Lord Duwei, you are the best at understanding people's hearts, and this trick is indeed clever." ”

Yunzhong Station, Li Ang sorted out his luggage, and remembered the news that came one after another in the past ten days, Liucheng and Taiyuan's Turkic spy networks were all broken, the Zhenfu Division began a great purge, the military department was dismissed, the title of Tuoba family was taken away, Zhenguo Gong personally intervened in the matter of merchants selling artisans, and the seventeen families in the north were investigated to be related to this matter, and nearly a thousand people were imprisoned. Always on call.

The Uighurs and Tiele also gathered a large number of troops on the western front of the Turks because of the death of their own khans and princesses, and immediately attacked as soon as they waited for the edict of Great Qin to avenge their blood.

Thinking of King Qiling, Li Ang felt the silver ghost face from his arms, thought of the charred corpse found by Feng Siniang and Tule, and thought of Gu Lun, who had come to identify the corpse by the Uighurs, he sat on the bed in a daze, clutching the silver ghost face.

In the courtyard, Feng Siniang stared blankly at the blooming peach blossoms, and the old man named Gulun in the Uighur land helped her and Lin Fengshuang to convince Li Ang that King Qiling really died in the fire, but thinking of Li Ang's expression holding the mask when he was alone, she felt so painful in her heart that she wanted to tell him that it was not true.

In the room, Lin Fengshuang's whole person had lost a lot of weight, she held her chin, and looked at the wooden villain in her hand blankly, thinking of Li Ang, she felt very uncomfortable. Gulen looked at her back, not knowing what to say, and finally he shook his head and stepped out.

The knock on the door brought back to his senses, and he hid his mask in his arms and opened the door.

"If His Highness were alive, he would not be happy to see you like this." Gu Lun looked at Li Ang, who was pouring tea for him, and sighed, "People can't be resurrected after death, and His Highness said that you should live well when you left." ”

"I know." Li Ang replied quietly, "But I can't do it, I can't do it now, if I hadn't been useless, he wouldn't have died." Thinking of the scene where King Qiling pushed him away, Li Ang's fists clenched.

"I know, it's useless to persuade you, you can't listen, I just hope you'll take good care of Fengshuang." Gu Lun drank the tea in the cup, looked at Li Ang's face and said, "She is His Highness's own sister, just to protect her, His Highness has not let her show up in front of people, and now that His Highness is gone, I should also fulfill his wish, so that His Highness Fengshuang no longer has to suffer from the desert wind and sand in the Uighurs, please take good care of His Highness Fengshuang, please." ”

Looking at the old man who suddenly turned towards him, Li Ang stood up and grabbed him, "I will definitely take good care of her, and I will never let anyone hurt her." ”

"In that case, I'm relieved." Gulen straightened up, "I can go back with peace of mind." ”

Looking at Gu Lun's departing figure, Li Ang thought of King Qiling's sister, who was very similar to him, and pressed his hand on the mask hidden in his clothes, "I will never let her be harmed, I swear to you." ”

On the last night before leaving Yunzhong, Li Ang walked to Lin Fengshuang's room and knocked on the door. When he opened the door and looked at Li Ang, Lin Fengshuang was stunned in place, looking at him blankly, and the thousand words hidden in his heart only turned into relatively speechless.

"I think you must hate me, and if it weren't for me, your brother wouldn't have died."

Lin Fengshuang, who didn't say a word and had a thin face, Li Ang said quietly, "But my brother is in the sky, and he definitely doesn't want to see you now." ”

"This is the porridge I cooked, you can drink some!" Li Ang put down the wooden box in his hand and turned around, "From today onwards, I will take good care of you on behalf of your brother." With that, he left.

"Why do you always like to take everything on yourself, but I just like you like this!" It wasn't until Li Ang's figure disappeared that Lin Fengshuang wiped her eyes and whispered to herself, she picked up the wooden box on the ground, walked back to the room, took out the bowl of warm and fragrant white porridge, and ate it bite by bite, with a trace of sweetness in her heart.

"You seem to be much better." In the courtyard, looking at Li Ang who was approaching, Feng Siniang felt better when she saw that he was no longer sad about the matter of King Qiling.

"Just figured something out." Li Ang smiled, sat down beside her, and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do after returning to Chang'an?" ”

"I want to keep opening a wine inn, but I'll rely on you, you can't escape." Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang and laughed.

"It's not easy to open a wine inn in Chang'an." Leon muttered, "Let Trist help you, when it comes to business, he is better than you, and it is best for you to be a hands-off boss lady then." ”

"No, I still like to open it myself, your little money is better to let Trist do some other business for you, you will have to spend more money in the future." It can't be wasted. Feng Siniang stood up and said towards Li Ang.

"By the way, did you miss me when I wasn't there?"

Looking at the departing Feng Siniang who suddenly turned around, Li Ang was stunned, and finally he nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days." I was a little worried. ”

Feng Siniang stood in place, and after a while, she looked at Li Ang's distant figure and laughed in a low voice, "This is the man I like, but he is much stronger than that stupid man." ”

In the early morning of the next day, thirty miles outside the eastern city of Yundong. Li Ang looked at Peng Cheng and the tiger and leopard riding to see each other off, patted them on the shoulder and said, "Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, go back, remember to kill a few more enemies at that time, so that I can hear the news of victory in Chang'an as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!" Peng Cheng and the tiger and leopard rode unconsciously, straightened their bodies, and answered loudly, just like when they were under Li Ang.

looked at Peng Cheng and them in the distance. Feng Siniang rode to Li Ang's side and said with a smile. "The emperor should make you a general, and you lead the troops to fight. We will not lose the battle. ”

"General!" Li Ang shook his head, "I know my own ability, you give me a thousand people, I can barely command, let me manage thousands of troops, I can't do it." ”

"Who says you can't." Feng Siniang stared at Li Ang and said loudly, "I said you must do it." And it will be the most powerful general. ”

"The best general?" Looking at the figure of Feng Siniang riding away, Li Ang laughed in a low voice. "Maybe you can try!"

The earth suddenly trembled, Li Ang turned around, only to see a group of men on horseback, shouting and running towards him, he reined in his horse, turned around, and saw the appearance of those men clearly, the first big man was the thief Dong Xinlei outside Kushui Town, and behind him were hundreds of Mengwu Wei Hanzi.

"Li Duwei, thanks to your great kindness, we Mughal Murwei people can become the people of Great Qin, grazing on the steppe with peace of mind, no longer have to worry about the Turks coming to oppress us, I respect you on behalf of all the men of Mengwu Murs!" Dong Xinlei took the large bowl full of spirits handed by his subordinates behind him, knelt on one knee, and held it high in front of Li Ang.

Taking the big bowl, Li Ang immediately pressed the Mengwu Wei people who were kneeling on one knee in front of him, drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, turned it over, boiling + Teng + literature + learning collection did not drop a drop, he handed the big bowl back to Dong Xinlei, looked at the Mengwu Wei Hanzi who got up and said loudly, "I drank this bowl of wine, I hope you can become the most loyal people of Great Qin and never betray!" ”

Dong Xinlei was stunned when he heard Li Ang's words, and then he shouted, "Never betray!" "Never betray!" The Mughal men chanted along, feeling that Leon was encouraging them.

"Captain Li, if there is something to do when I go back to Hanzhou in the future, despite the orders, our men from Mengwu Muwei will never say a word, come in the water, go in the fire, and we will never frown." Dong Xinlei looked at Li Ang on the horse and said loudly, and the subordinates behind him also shouted. These people will be useful later.

"Li Duwei, the eldest sister will ask you to take care of it, Old Man Huang and Ah Zi have gone, and only Lao Cen is left by her side who can't take care of people..."

"I know." Li Ang nodded, looked at the affectionate and righteous Mengwu Wei Dahan in front of him, and replied in a deep voice.

"Eldest sister, I'm waiting to have a good drink with you and Li Duwei, remember to call me when the time comes." Dong Xinlei turned over and got on his horse, until he was far away with a group of subordinates, then he shouted loudly and ran away on his horse.

"This bastard." Looking at the smoke and dust raised in the distance, Feng Siniang scolded with a red face, turned her head to look at Lin Fengshuang beside her, and said, "Don't pay attention to what that bastard said, his mouth..."

"I know." Lin Fengshuang smiled at Feng Siniang, "I won't lose to you!" ”

"Childe, there's a convoy ahead, it seems to be looking for us." Trist rode to Leon's side and pointed to a large stopped lane on the official road ahead.

"Find us." Li Ang followed Trist's point, looked over, and saw that in the cart drawn by four horses, a middle-aged man walked down and looked towards him, and the people who were looking at it were Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang.

"Who is he?" Li Ang frowned, looking at the convoy and the guards in front and rear, that middle-aged man should not be an ordinary person, how could he know Feng Siniang.

"Sister Feng, it seems to be that stupid man." Lin Fengshuang also saw the convoy in the distance, she turned to Feng Siniang beside her, and the middle-aged man next to the carriage was Xun Rizhao who was treating her.

"What is he going to do, haunted fellow." Feng Siniang's brows furrowed, since she left that day, this Xun Rizhao has sent people to the post station to inquire about her news twice in three days, and she doesn't know what he is going to do.

"You know him?" Li Ang didn't know when he rode his horse to Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, and startled them.

“… Well! Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang with an expressionless face, and after a long while, she replied in a low voice, hating that Xun Rizhao in her heart.

"Then go and meet, he seems to be waiting for you!" Li Ang smiled at Feng Siniang and walked to the side.
