Li Yu traveled all the way east along the canal, with the intention of catching up with the ships and walking together. However, this land route has been going on, but it may not always be close to the canal, and due to the terrain, the land road and the river have parted ways in many places.

In this era, there are no road signs, the road is all by inquiry, many old farmers do not understand the official at all, that out of this county, the neighboring counties are difficult to understand the dialect is too touching, so Li Yu "lost".

In fact, he was not lost, but according to the original plan: to go along the canal and join the brigade, he was lost. When he inquired all the way and finally found the canal, he had already arrived in Linqing.

From here to the north, the next stop of the canal is Dezhou, which is the place where the armies specified by Li Ji converge, Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he got off the horse, let the horse also slow down, led the horse, and slowly entered Linqing City.

When he entered the city, Li Yu found that something was wrong, the street was very messy, but he couldn't see a single person, as if he had just gone through a big battle.

Li Yu stopped vigilantly, looked around, and suddenly saw a shelf of steaming drawers stacked on the board of a noodle shop on the side of the road, only the height of the ankle was exposed, and a pair of shoes exposed the tips of the boots.

Li Yu walked over, knocked on the steaming drawer with a waist knife with boots, and shouted, "Come out!" ”

There ......was an "ahh Yellow Cloth ...... The man who looks like a white but not white, yellow apron, is not tall, short and dundill, with two mouse whiskers, but he doesn't look treacherous, but he just pouts his eyebrows, and the two mouse whiskers hang in the same direction, causing people to stunt.

Li Yu looked at him, who should be the shopkeeper of this noodle shop, and asked: "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, what happened in this Linqing City, why did not there be a pedestrian or businessman, and the street was still so messy, what happened and what happened?" ”

The shopkeeper who sold noodles looked at him in the dust, dressed like he was traveling far away, and he was not wearing a military uniform, so he couldn't help but let go of his fear a little, and started to solicit business again, and asked busily: "This guest officer, do you want to be sharp, or do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

"I want to eat noodles ......, no, I asked ......, forget it, do you have any buns here, wrap a few for me."

Li Yu saw that this guy was still frightened, and suddenly found that there was no danger, and immediately started thinking about doing business, and couldn't help but be a little funny. But the small people care so much about doing business, not because their livelihood is difficult, but it is sad to think about it so much.

Anyway, when he came down, he was also a little hungry, so he did a business for him first, so that he could talk back with peace of mind.

The shopkeeper's heart was overjoyed: "Does the guest officer want a stuffed bun or a bun without stuffing?" The small shop only has buns without filling. ”

At that time, steamed buns and steamed buns were stupidly indistinguishable, if you only said steamed buns, it may not be that there is stuffing inside, and the shopkeeper is so asked.

Li Yu took out some money and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Since you don't have any stuffing, what are you talking about, pick up a few buns, I'll eat them on the way." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran back to the case, opened the steaming drawer and looked at it, and cautiously poked out half of his face, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, the steamed buns in the small shop have been sold out, is it okay to cook cakes?" ”

Li Yu was furious, grabbed him by the collar as soon as he reached out, lifted him out of the back of the case with a forceful lift, and said angrily: "The surname is Wu, you are also poor." Let me ask you, what happened here? ”

The little shopkeeper was hung in the air by his collar, and hurriedly said, "Huh? How did the guest officer know that the little old man's surname was Wu? Don't don't, okay, okay, I said, you don't know anything about the guest officer~~~"

“……”

"Ahem! His Royal Highness the King of Qi on the Qizhou side sent soldiers and horses to collect boats, grain and grass along the river, and also captured strong men, just entered Linqing City, and another Haizhou (Lianyungang) officers and soldiers also entered the city from the other side. When we meet in two clicks, we will start ......"

Thanks to the fact that Linqing is a canal city, this small boss surnamed Wu often deals with merchants and travelers from the south to the north, although the local accent is also quite strong, but Li Yu still listens to it panicked.

Listening to what he said, it should be that the King of Qi, who had been living in Qizhou City, suddenly opened his mind and thought of recruiting troops and horses outside. So they sent a few groups of people, with Qizhou as the center, and radiated in all directions.

Linqing is in the south, along the canal all the way down, so it has also become their looting place. However, Li Ji's side was not slow to act, and the soldiers and horses of Haizhou had already arrived in advance according to the military order, and they entered the city at the same time as the chaotic army of the king of Qi disturbing the people, one south and one north.

The result can be imagined, how the Qi army, which has loose military discipline, is so powerful that the Tang army will collapse at the first touch, and the Tang army will chase down.

Li Ji's assembly point was Dezhou, so the Haizhou Tang Army that chased out of Linqing would not turn back, and they would continue to cover up and kill until they were stationed in Dezhou.

After figuring out this section, Li Yu sighed and put down the Wu shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at him cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Guest officer, what ......about this cooking cake?"

Li Yu calculated the itinerary and replied casually: "Less noise, pack a few, no cooking cakes, pancakes are fine." ”

The shopkeeper groaned and hurriedly picked up a few cooking cakes for him, tied them up and served them.

Li Yu didn't ask him the price, he casually touched a handful of big money, the current price was estimated to be only a lot more, threw it on his case, picked up the things, turned around and left: "No need to look for it." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Thank you for the reward." Hey, it's really good luck today, I met a generous nobleman one after another, it must be the good luck brought by the pair of brothers who were shining all over the body and gave birth to countless pairs of eyes, and that look like a blessed nobleman. ”

Li Yu stuffed the cooking cake into the bag on the horse's stock, tightened his pockets, and just pulled the saddle to get on the horse, when he overheard this, the leg that had already stepped on the horse's buttocks slipped down suddenly. He rushed to the side of the shopkeeper and asked, "What did the shopkeeper just say, what pair of brothers who are shining?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him to be so eager, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

Li Yu said: "Don't be afraid, those two are likely to be my friends, where are they and how are they?" ”

The shopkeeper was relieved a little at this time, and said sneeringly: "After the soldiers and horses of the King of Qi entered the city, he said that he would levy grain and conscription, but even the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law were arrested, and they didn't know what kind of soldiers were conscripted. Then two brothers came out of the tavern diagonally opposite, they looked very similar, and at first glance they were brothers.

The pair of brothers fought with the officers and soldiers of the king of Qi, and there were many people in the king of Qi, and the two brothers took off their robes while fighting, and then immediately their bodies were shining, and the old man only looked at them a few times, and his eyes were about to be blinded......"

Speaking of this, Li Yu didn't know who he was talking about, and hurriedly asked, "What about the two brothers, where did they go?" ”

The shopkeeper's conversation was in full swing, and he was interrupted for a moment, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he said: "When the officers and soldiers of Haizhou entered the city and drove the officers and soldiers of King Qi out of the city. The pair of brothers also bought cooking cakes here at Xiao Lao'er, and listened to him and the two of them said that this time they came out to study the world, and it was rare to encounter such an interesting thing, which should not be missed. The two of them plan to sneak into Qizhou City, saying that they want to plow some holes......"

"These two bastards!"

Li Yu immediately understood, Li Bohao and Li Zhongxuan came out to "study the world" again, this time they went to the Qilu area, just in time for the rebellion of King Qi, which was very happy for the rammer, so he took the initiative to go to the center of the whirlpool: Qizhou City to explore.

What kind of court to pear, what kind of hole to sweep, if you can't get this pair of bold boys, you have to fall into Qizhou City.

"No, I have to catch up, I have to stop them!"

Although the two brothers have high martial arts, once they are trapped in the enemy camp, their personal martial arts are really nothing. Li Yu has a deep friendship with them, how can he sit back and watch them die by themselves? As for rushing to Texas to assemble and make military achievements, compared with saving this pair of friends, there is no need to think about it at all.

Li Yu immediately got on his horse, rode his horse and whipped his whip, and galloped away outside the northern city.
