"Back then, thousands of miles were looking for the marquis, and the horses were in Liangzhou!"

When he set off, Li Xiao couldn't help but chant a poem. Originally, the first thing he thought of was that the wind was sluggish and the water was cold, and the strong man would never return. But after thinking about it, I felt that this poem was not very lucky, so I changed another sentence. Somehow, this poem came to mind.

The autumn breeze is blowing, the weather is cool, this is a good season to hurry, the heat has gradually subsided, and there is no way to avoid suffering.

The Li family compound was quiet and the atmosphere was heavy.

The little wild dog raised by Li Xiao is now nearly fifty pounds, tall and big but not fat, it circles around Li Xiao's feet, and does not want to play at all, maybe it also knows that this time the master is no longer just going to Chang'an, animals are sometimes human, it can feel that this time Li Xiao will go to a far place, will leave home for a long time.

"You want to go too?"

Little Black nodded with a whin.

"Isn't it good for you to stay at home with Wanniang and Zhen'er? There are also a lot of your friends here, that old Ma Ah Huang of our family, and that fat cat Xiaobai, don't you play well with them? There are also big black cows and old reed chickens, don't you get along well with them? ”

Li Xiao stretched out his hand, and the little black horse jumped up spiritually, and the person stood up, so that the owner could touch its head.

Wan Niang cleaned up in the house for a long time before Zhen'er came out.

A burden was opened, but it was a dress made by Wan Niang for Li Xiao. A very heavy piece of bar, long and thick, with fine stitches.

"I heard that Liaodong is bitterly cold, San Lang must pay more attention to keeping warm when he arrives there."

Li Xiao took it and said with a smile, "I'm going to the south of Sanhan, the climate in that place is actually similar to Dengzhou, it's not too cold, and it's only two or three months cold in winter a year, but it's not cold." ”

Zhen'er made a cloak for Li Xiao.

"This crimson cloak goes well with your imperial armor, and my brother must look mighty when he wears it."

"I'm going to do the history of assassination this time, and I don't need to fight, and I don't need to wear armor."

"But the emperor has given you armor, and you are still a strategic envoy, and you want to lead the troops." Li Zhen insisted.

This armor is gorgeous, specially made by the royal craftsmen, and the emperor selected a set of armor from his own collection to give to Li Xiao. The silver armor is also inlaid with gold edges, and the whole set of armor is extremely atmospheric. It is in the shape of Mingguang armor, with two shiny steel guards on the chest, and iron woven armor with mountain patterns around the perimeter.

The helmet is a hood with phoenix wings, and there is a large cluster of red tassels under the dazzling helmet.

This armor not only has two large round guards on the chest, but also two on the back.

In addition, on the shoulders, there are two swallowing shoulders made of unicorn head styles. The belt is also a beautifully crafted and good-looking lion belt.

The shin guards, arm guards, wrist guards, iron gloves, iron boots, iron skirts, woven gold cloaks are complete, the workmanship is exquisite, the materials are strong, and the whole set of armor weighs more than 30 catties, which is still the emperor knows Li Xiao's catties, and specially picked a lighter set for him.

It is said that such a pair of armor is worth at least a few hundred acres of land. Especially if it is given by the emperor, it is even more precious.

With the emperor's imperial horse, horse lance, gold mace, riding bow, horizontal sword, leather shield, it is decent.

However, Li Xiao always thought that he didn't need this set of armor, although he was now the commander of the Korean Military Region, but now there is also a Korean theater there, the commander of the theater is Cheng Yanjin, and there are three deputy commanders, Cheng Mingzhen, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui.

These theater commanders commanded 200,000 field troops, and they were the real generals who led the troops.

As the commander of the military region, he can only manage the militia of the two states now, and it is estimated that there is no militia there.

When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, and if he wants to fight, the field army will go first, which turn will come to him.

Besides, no matter how good the armor is, it's not much use, no matter what Li Xiao says, it's also a strategic envoy, you don't need to go directly to the front line, you really want to suppress a bandit or something, that's also standing under the banner of the Chinese army, you don't need to charge in person, he has his own personal guards, and it really makes people be able to shoot arrows at him, no matter how good the Mingguang armor, no matter how good the mountain anti-arrow function, no matter how good the anti-cutting chain mail, it's actually useless.

Wan Niang touched her stomach.

"The child will be born in a month, have you chosen a name for him?"

Choosing a name for the child has been thinking about for a long time, but Li Xiao has never thought of a suitable one.

"If it's a boy, it's called Qingyun. There is a sentence in Chu Ci that 'the car is in vain and climbs Qingyun', Qingyun means that Baifu is perfect and famous, simple but domineering. ”

It is said that the child is named a male Chu Ci female poetry, and Li Xiao followed the trend and picked a sentence from Chu Ci.

"If it's a girl, let's call it Pujia. Although the leaves are reeds, they are strong, and I hope that my daughter will not only be able to marry a wishful husband in the future, but also be independent and strong. ”

"Qingyun, Pujia." Wan Niang muttered these two names, thinking that it was indeed very good.

Li Xiao is going to Baekje, and many people in the Li family Zhuangzi are willing to go. However, Li Xiao did not agree, this time it was as short as a year, or as long as two or three years, and the villagers also had a large family to support.

In the end, he couldn't hold everyone's enthusiasm, Li Xiao had to agree to choose more than a dozen from those young unmarried boys, these are all sons in the family, and they are strong and strong, and most of them can do some kung fu and simple gun and stick archery.

In the end, eighteen teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty were selected, and Li Xiao gave them a settling-in allowance of ten yuan per family, after all, this is far away, and no one can guarantee a certain safety. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is also the labor force in the family, and he can't let his family follow him in vain.

He also promised to give him two yuan a month in the future, and to cover the food and clothing of these teenagers.

"When I get there, if there is a suitable Baekje woman, I will find them a mother-in-law." Li Xiao smiled and said to the boys' fathers.

"Oh, what's so good about Baekje Woman." Someone laughed.

"It's not bad to have it, marry a Baekje mother-in-law and don't want your family's bride price, save more money and trouble."

"Hahaha."

Da Biao originally wanted to go, but now he is also in charge of a large mess of things. The Li family's restaurant has now opened seven or eight branches in Lanxi, Lantian and Chang'an, and has made a name for itself in the Gyeonggi area with its stir-fried dishes, with a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources, and he is very busy as a big shopkeeper.

"You just stay and take care of the restaurant, and we also need you to take care of our mill and noodle shop. When I have free time, I go back to Zhuangzi to take care of it. ”

Da Biao patted his chest and made a bang, "San Lang, you said this too much, if you hadn't brought us brothers from Jiangnan, we would have been gone." Now that you have given me all this, how can I not be grateful. ”

"Since we are brothers, don't say that, we have today, and we all work together."

Old Master Yang also wanted to stay to manage the academy, and among the dozen or so people who came from Jiangnan and Li Xiao, in the end, only two teenagers, Zhang Cong and Liu Garlic, were brought with him.

The two have been by Li Xiao's side for a long time, and they are careful in their work, and Li Xiao is also easy to use.

Eighteen young tenants were divided into two teams and placed under them.

These twenty people can be regarded as Li Xiao's personal entourage.

In addition, it was the group of 200 mercenaries recruited by Zhao Zhiman.

These teams of more than 200 people can be regarded as Li Xiao's troops, and the troops are his personal armed forces and his personal guards.

Old Master Yang, Doctor Zhao, and Butler Qian, the three old men, stood there with a crutch, reluctantly.

"San Lang, I hope you take care all the way and triumph as soon as possible!"
