Chapter 20: Not the first, and it won't be the last

颛臾, Xixiang, Xiangjun's Mansion, Left Wing.

"Uncle Yu, are you okay?" Li Yu said with concern. Uncle Yu's name is Li Yu, and he is the son of the Li family. However, Li Yu showed a very high talent for kendo since he was a child, and worshipped the swordsman Wang Shu at that time as his teacher, and returned home after leaving the school. encountered more than 20 thieves, Li Yu drew his sword and assassinated him (swords are generally mainly stabbed), killed several people immediately, and the rest were terrified and fled. As a result, Li Yu suddenly became famous. Although Li Yu is a concubine, he has a high status in the Li family.

"Lang Jun, it's okay. That guy was terrible. Li Yu said with some fear.

"Uncle Yu, how did you become like that at that time?" Li Yu asked.

"Lang Jun, you don't understand. For those of us who practice martial arts, the longer we practice martial arts, the higher our skills will be. The higher the sense of smell for death. After more than 30 years of practice, I still have some experience in swordsmanship. ”

"But just now, when the young man in the white robe with the purple unicorn embroidered on the collar began to look at me. Lang Jun, do you know? My instincts told me to run and stay away from him. ”

"So scary?" Li Yu was a little surprised. After all, he really hadn't seen anyone stronger than Li Yu. This is also why he dared to go out to ask for help outside the rampant Zhuhu. Li Yu is his biggest reliance.

"Not only that, but I can even smell a faint smell of blood on him, this is not the kind that has just killed people, but a kind of accumulation after killing people often, and a certain person who is sure to die at his hands must be hundreds, thousands, and possibly even thousands. If there was a sword just now, X would definitely pull it out, and if he faced it off, X was sure that he would be able to fight X with his bare hands. Li Yu said with some horror.

After a long time, Li Yu sighed: "What Yang Wulang and Captain Lu said is true"

"Xixiang does have some evil sects," Li Yu said again.

……

颛臾, Xixiang, Xiangjun's Mansion, Study.

"Da Lang, have all the guests been arranged?" Yang Yang sat on the Taishi chair and asked Yang Li in front of him.

"Back to my lord, it has been arranged. He arranged them in the left wing. Yang Li said respectfully.

"Da Lang, what do you think of the Li family's visit this time?" Yang Yang asked.

"I thought that the Li family had no friendship with Xixiang, and our reputation outside was not obvious. Li's visit this time is definitely not to admire and make friends, but to have a plan." Yang Li analyzed.

"Uh-huh, not bad. And the old man felt that this matter must be very urgent. Otherwise, Li Yu would not have asked to meet the lord as soon as he arrived. Now that the sovereign is not here, it is not appropriate for us to meddle in the affairs of the Li family. And if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and we should solve the three thieves first. No matter what the Li family does, we can't wait. However, there is no need to offend the Li family, so he will entertain a few meals and then send Li Yu away. Da Lang, I ordered to go down, set up a banquet in the afternoon, and the old man should wash the dust for the distinguished guests. ”

After Yang Li agreed, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait"

"What's the matter, my lord"

"Take care of Gorou a lot, don't let him get into trouble again, what an old man, I haven't finished reading "Shangshu".

Yang Li complained angrily in his heart: Wulang Cheng is not too pampered and cultivated. However, Yang Li didn't dare to show it in front of Yang Yang, and after agreeing, he turned around and left again.

……

Zhuan, Xixiang, Xiangjun's Mansion, Juyi Hall.

In the afternoon, Yang Yang held a banquet in the Juyi Hall to entertain Li Yu. However, not many people attended the banquet this time. The main party only has Yang Li and Yang Wushao to accompany him.

"Li Lang, please drink here!" Yang Yang raised his wine glass and said to Li Yu, who was a little unaccustomed to sitting on the Taishi chair.

"Please," Li Yu also raised his glass.

The wine of Liangjin is not high, and it is sweet and sour, a bit like a drink. Even women can drink quite a bit.

"Yu Gong, today is our discipline is not strict, and I collided with Jun, if you are offended, I hope Haihan. I apologize for this. Yang Li persuaded the wine.

"Don't dare, don't dare"

……

More than half of the banquet was held, and all the people present were children of the family. We had a great conversation. Although the wine is not too high, everyone drinks a lot. Slightly drunk.

At Yang Yang's suggestion, Yang Li and Yang Wushao took Li Yu down to play pitching pots. And Li Yu is also very cooperative. Only Yang Yang and Li Yu were left. Because they all know they're going to get down to business.

"Li Lang's visit to the countryside this time should not be just an ordinary visit!" Yang Yang said meaningfully.

"Please Yang Gong save me Li". Li Yu suddenly knelt down and said. Li Yu already knew that the old man in front of him was not only a smart man, but also an old fox. Li Yu doesn't think that he can play tricks and can play him, so it is better to admit it generously.

"Why is the virtuous nephew like this, please hurry up." Yang Yang was a little surprised. After speaking, he specially ran over to personally support Li Yu.

"Yang Gong, please listen to so-and-so." Li Yu said after being helped up by Yang Yang.

Then Li Yu told Yang Yang the whole story.

Yang Yang pretended to think for a while and said:

"I'm sorry, nephew. I can't save Guibao. If I send an army, I will pass through the Ava tribe. Li Lang also knew that the Ava tribe had a grudge against our hometown. And there are many elite cavalry in the Ava tribe, and if our hometown sends troops, it will be attacked by the Ava tribe. ”

"No, no, no, I don't want to ask your township to send troops to the Li clan, but to ask your township to send troops to contain the Ava department. If your hometown is willing, my Li family can give a thousand pieces of grain and grass, and at the same time, your hometown will also be our Li family's eternal friend. Li Yu gritted his teeth and said. Although this is already the third layer of Lee's grain. And the upper limit given to him by the elder of the Li family is only two hundred, but Li Yu can't control it now. If the Li family can't hold it, what else do they need to do with all this grain and grass.

1,000 Hu, that's a lot of money. Yang Yang was still a little surprised by Li Yu's cheerfulness. But Yang Yang still refused, because the danger was too high. Avabe is not a soft bone. Out of the stone fort, even if there are too many hills outside, it can limit Hu Qi's combat power. But even Yang Yang, who didn't know anything about military affairs, would not think that Saigo would be able to defeat Awabe easily. And from Xintai to Liyu, you have to go through several Hu tribes. These Hu tribes are not vegetarians either. Although there is a lot of food, it may not be delivered.

"Yang Gong, is it too little?"

"No, no, Li Lang, you may not know. On the western hills of Saigo. Since the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", there have been a large number of thieves. Among them, there are three largest groups, all of which have more than 1,000 people, namely the Nanshan Bandits, the Fox Mountain Bandits, and the Green Forest Bandits. Hundreds, dozens of thieves are even more numerous. Although there are thousands of people in Xixiang, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers, the sixth layer is stationed to guard the mountain bandits, the second layer is stationed to guard the Hu people, and there are only two remaining layers in Xixiang. ”

"Even if I have a heart, I can't do it!" Yang Yang finally sighed.

"Then Yang Gong, can you let me meet Liu Yuanjun." Li Yu still didn't believe it, and wanted to meet Liu Ye and make a final effort.

"It's really unfortunate, a few days ago, the lord occasionally felt a cold wind, and it was inconvenient to see guests," Yang Yang said apologetically.

"Report" A young soldier ran in from outside.

"What?" Yang Yang said with some displeasure.

"Chief, the lord is back," the young soldier reported.

Our Chief Yang was suddenly embarrassed. The originally ruddy face was even redder, and it was even a little hot. Is there anything more slap in the face than a lie being exposed as soon as it is told?

So our young soldier became unlucky.

"Get the hell out of here." The usually mild-mannered Yang let out a beastly cry. And our poor young soldier ran out in a hurry.

"Li Lang, this ......"

"Yang Gong, I understand. I didn't expect a certain to be a lucky star. Sometime, Liu Yuanjun's illness will be cured," Li Yu said with a smile.

……

Because Liu Ye didn't want to alarm the people, and Liu Ye secretly went out to transport grain this time. Therefore, Saigo did not engage in any grand welcome ceremony. However, Yang Yang still led everyone out of the hometown to greet him, including Li Yu and Li Yu. This is what they asked for.

"I'll wait to see the lord," Yang Yang led everyone to salute.

"Ping"

"No"

"Who are these two?" After saluting, Liu Ye looked at the two strangers beside Yang Yang and asked.

"Xintai Li Yu (Yu) to meet Liu Yuanjun," Li Yu and Li Yu saluted.

"Distinguished guests don't have to be polite when they come to the door." Liu Ye hurriedly helped him.

"Xie Liu Envoy".

"Xintai Li's family, Benjun seems to have heard the sermon somewhere...... That's right. Liu Ye muttered to himself.

"Liu Yuanjun, what's wrong" Seeing that Liu Ye's behavior was a little strange, Li Yu asked with some curiosity.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that yesterday Benjun's scout rescued a person who called himself Xintai Li from the hands of the Hu people, I don't know if you recognize it."

"Where? Can Liu Yuanjun let someone see it? Li Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly said.

"Someone came and brought it up".

After a white-robed guard behind Liu Ye received the order, he immediately ran back.

After a while, a young man with bandages on his legs and arms was brought up.

"Erlang, why are you here?" Li Yu on the side exclaimed.

The silent youth began to cry as soon as he saw Li Yu and Li Yu.

"My lord, Lang Jun, it's gone, it's gone."

"You make it clear to me, what's gone". Li Yu grabbed the young man's collar without paying any attention to the young man's injuries.

"Lee's gone."

"How is it possible, you are lying, when I left, the Li clan still had more than 400 clan soldiers, and more than 2,000 people. The Hu people haven't finished assembling yet, you liar." Li Yu yelled, not at all like his usual humble gentleman.

"It's Wang, it's Wang Zhao, that dog thief. The evening before yesterday, Wang Zhao took more than 200 people and said that they would help. Lord Lang had no doubts. Open the door. But Wang Zhao, the dog thief, directly killed the gate after entering the door. Hu Qi, who was hiding behind, also rushed in. We were caught off guard. Only one of the entire dock forts pretended to be dead and escaped by taking advantage of the chaos."

"I ask you, my lord, where is my mother?" Li Yu asked.

"Lord Lang doesn't want his family to be humiliated after being arrested. Raise the fire*, the old lady, the young lady, the little Langjun, and the son-in-law are all inside," the young man cried.

"My lord, my eldest brother and my grandmother were also killed, I saw it with my own eyes," the young man said to Li Yu again.

At this time, Li Yu's eyes were also full of tears, and he slowly let go of the youth. Finally, I hugged my head and cried with the youth.

On the side, Li Yu's body fell to the ground as if he had been drained of strength. At this moment, he realized that his parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children were gone forever. And he lost his home forever.

Since the Yongjia Rebellion, tragedies similar to the Li family in northern Shenzhou have been happening every day. Lee is not the first, nor will he be the last. If the Hu people are not removed, my heart will be uneasy, if the Hu people are not removed, my people will be uneasy, and if the Hu people are not removed, our country will be uneasy. If the Hu people are not removed, it will be difficult for the Han people to survive.
