After leaving the military prison, Li Yanqing immediately came to Hongqiao Baoyanzhai to find his father Li Daqi.

"You're just in time, I'm just about to call someone to find you."

"What's the matter with Daddy?"

"Come, let's sit down and talk."

Li Daqi took his son to the guest hall and sat down, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I went to the incense pharmacy and met Zheng Yin, that is, Zheng Xiaopang's uncle, he chatted with me for a while, first talking about his nephew, his nephews went to Japan to buy Haizhu, and they will not come back until next spring, and talked about your life's events, Empress Zheng has a niece who is eighteen years old this year and has not yet married......."

Li Yanqing was taken aback, "Father didn't ask Uncle Zheng to say anything to the Zheng family!" ”

"Of course not, he has this idea, I said I want to come back and ask you first, but I think it will be very beneficial to your career to be able to get married to the Zheng family, after all, people are the most powerful relatives, what do you say?"

After a moment of silence, Li Yanqing said in a low voice: "The child already has a heart!" ”

Li Daqi was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, "Which family's daughter is it?" ”

"It's the granddaughter of the great general Cao Ping, named Cao Yun."

"Cao family!"

Li Daqi was taken aback, the Cao family is the founding hero, the official family, although the power is not as good as the Zheng family, but the status and prestige in the Great Song Dynasty are far more than the Zheng family, the son has a close relationship with these meritorious families during this time, and he originally wanted to get in touch with them.

"Then what should I do, is it to find a matchmaker to go to Cao's Mansion to propose marriage?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The matchmaker can let Chong Shuai do it, he has gone to Jingzhao Mansion now, and he will come back in the spring, and my father can visit the Cao family when he has time and get to know each other." ”

When Li Daqi heard that his son already had a favorite person, the unmarried niece of the Zheng family immediately left it behind, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "The stinky boy got things done quietly, let me worry about it in vain." ”

"Daddy, I'm here today for two important things."

"What do you say?"

"The first thing I want to do is to borrow an iron pillar and a life extension from my father, so I'll borrow it tonight."

Li Yanqing is a little short of manpower, but he has to find absolutely reliable people, there are only Gu Tiezhu and Li Yanshou, even Li Dongdong He doesn't believe it, if he borrows these two people, plus his four subordinates, the manpower will be enough.

Li Daqi nodded, "No problem, they are in the store, I'll let them go with you later, what's the matter?" ”

Li Yanqing groaned and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Zhending Mansion to supervise military resources. ”

Li Daqi was taken aback, "But it's coming to the New Year soon, what should I do with the clan sacrifice?" ”

This year's New Year, the first room of the Li family's Wencun is going to hold a joint clan festival in the capital and the Li family in the capital, and the son is an important person, how can he explain to the clansmen when he leaves?

Li Daqi hurriedly said: "When the time comes, Patriarch Li Zhen, your third and fourth uncles will come to the capital, and there are also two representatives from Qianshan Village who are coming, but you are leaving, how can this be done!" ”

"It's a holy decree to go to Zhending Mansion this time, I'm afraid I can't go if I don't go."

Li Daqi was helpless, and only said in a half-loud voice: "Then when will you come back?" ”

"I'll be back at the latest by the tenth day of the new year."

Li Daqi let out a long sigh, "Okay! I went to tell the clansmen, everyone wants to see you, without you, this time the clan sacrifice of Wencun and Qianshan is not as good as the clan sacrifice of Lushan House, the Great Ancestor Spirit Card is there for them, we are not confident enough! ”

Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something, so he took off the saber from his waist, put it on the table and said, "Although we don't have the Great Ancestor Spirit Card, we can use this sword instead." ”

Li Daqi picked up the sword and asked puzzledly, "...... is this?"

"This is the famous seven-star sword of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the sword of the great ancestor in the past, and the name of the great ancestor at the end of the sword has not been polished."

Li Daqi was taken aback, and hurriedly dropped the hilt of the sword, and sure enough, he saw a vague word 'Jing' at the bottom of the hilt, Li Daqi trembled with excitement, this is really the saber of the Great Ancestor!

"How is this sword in your hands?"

"This handle was obtained by Cao Bin back then, and it has always been his family heirloom, and Cao Ping gave it to me yesterday."

"Great, I'll put this sword on the altar at the time of the sacrifice......."

Li Yanqing hurriedly reminded his father, "This is a taboo, even the same clan may spread it, it is too dangerous to sacrifice the sword in the capital, if my father really wants to sacrifice this sword, it can also be placed in an iron box, and it must be locked so that no one can open it." ”

Li Daqi also suddenly woke up, he thought about it and returned the sword to Li Yanqing, "You're right, this is the capital, not the countryside of Tangyin, we can't take this risk." ”

"This sword is in my father's collection! I wouldn't use it anyway. ”

The sword is a thing of loss, and the sword is easy to damage in a big battle, and the general precious sword is only used for decoration, and no one will really use it, Li Yanqing himself also has a sharp sword, this seven-star sword collection can be, and it is a bit swaggering to wear it on the body all day long.

Li Daqi thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay! I've got this sword in my collection. ”

At this time, Li Daqi said to Li Yanqing again: "Since you are going to Zhending Mansion, you will definitely pass by Tangyin County, and you will pay homage to your mother's tomb on the New Year, you should be able to do this request!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "I will definitely go!" ”

........

At dusk, Li Yanqing took Hu Qing'er, Gu Tiezhu and Li Yanqingshou to Daxiangguo Temple, which is south of the Bianhe River, and the banks of the Bianhe River are densely covered with houses.

Because Daxiangguo Temple is one of the most prosperous commercial centers in the capital, a large number of foreign populations are gathered, and the banks of the Bianhe River here have become a place for foreign populations.

In addition, taking advantage of the convenient transportation of the Bianhe River, major merchants have built a lot of warehouses on both sides of the Bianhe River, and many people have changed the original houses into warehouses for rent in order to earn more rent.

Yang Guang rented a warehouse for two large rooms inside and outside, and there was also a very small private wharf, just enough to berth two small boats, because there was a dedicated wharf, so the rent was not cheap, at least ten yuan a month, and it must be rented for three months, Yang Guang rented it for three months, in fact, they only needed to use one day.

The reason why Yang Guang chose this warehouse is because it is close to the Tang family's gold and silver shop, passing through an extremely narrow alley, opposite the alley of Song Jiang's mansion.

Yang Guang took Li Yanqing and the other three through the alley and entered the rented warehouse, in the room, Zhang Hu and the three of them were sitting on the wooden box to rest, and when they saw Li Yanqing coming in, the three of them quickly stood up.

Zhang Hu stepped forward and saluted, "The goods are in the middle!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, and looked at the warehouse, the room was very large, a room was at least fifty or sixty square meters, and there were three deer carts, and the inside was the same, with thick beams and bucket arch roofs overhead, which seemed very empty.

He turned around and asked Yang Guangdao, "In whose name is this rented?" ”

"Back to the imperial history, in the name of the lowly position, but the lowly pseudonym Zhao Jue, it is only a verbal lease, no agreement, no intermediary guarantee and the like."

"Has the landlord been here today?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"Nope! He won't come before the Chinese New Year. ”

Li Yanqing walked into the back room, and the goods that Li Yanqing bought for 17,500 yuan, 500 spears, 500 war knives and 500 shields, and 20 bundles of spears, tightly wrapped in straw bales, a total of 25 bundles, looked like wheat straw in the farmer's kitchen.

The sword and shield were placed in a large wooden chest, and a total of ten large wooden chests were contained.

"I watched them pack it with my own eyes, and the quantity was right." Zhang Hu explained on the side.

Li Yanqing is not worried about this problem, generally buying weapons on the black market is not a good class, no one dares to offend the other party easily, and the basic reputation can still be guaranteed.

"Did you get into trouble going into town?"

"Nope!"

Zhang Hu shook his head and said: "They used two small boats to enter the city from the Shuixi Gate, and the tax collectors over there did not appear at all, they should have been arranged in advance, and the ships came all the way here, without encountering any obstruction or interrogation." ”

At this time, Hu Qing'er, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Big brother, it's already dark!" ”

Li Yanqing looked up at a very small air window, it was already dark outside, Li Yanqing nodded, "You go!" Be careful. ”

Hu Qing'er took Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying and quickly left the warehouse, they needed to confirm the Song Jiang Mansion for the last time.

Li Yanqing walked up to Gu Tiezhu and Li Yanshou and said to them: "You can't tell anyone what happened tonight, including your family and my father, otherwise your lives will not be guaranteed, this is not me threatening you, once the news leaks, someone will come to find you, they will not stay alive, understand?" ”

Gu Tiezhu and Li Yanshou nodded silently, in fact, they didn't know what was going on, they only knew that they were asked to help carry things, but Li Yanqing still told them that this was a very cruel officialdom struggle and it must be absolutely secret.

........

Song Jiang returned to Yuncheng ten days ago to worship his ancestors, he came to the capital to report on his work, but the Son of Heaven refused to summon him, making him depressed.

At present, the mansion is still taken care of by the original old couple, but they all live in the front yard, and the back house is generally not allowed to enter, but someone will be invited to clean it at a fixed time, all the doors are locked, and the whole mansion is empty and lifeless.

Still, they needed to be cautious, and Hu Qing'er blew a tube of medicinal powder into the bedrooms of the two old men, so that they could sleep more soundly, and sleep until dawn the next day.

In just a moment, the three of them found the entrance to the basement of the back house, which was basically the standard configuration of the Song Dynasty mansion, some people used it to store ice cubes and enjoy it in summer, and some people used to store food in case of war, but most of them used it to store property, but the basement in Song Jiang's back house was empty, and there was nothing in it.

"You go and inform the eldest brother, everything is going well, I am here to guard."

Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying nodded, and the two of them went out from the same way over the wall, while Hu Qing'er sat on the steps next to the back door, looking at the building in front of her with hatred, this was the house of the enemy who killed her father, and she wanted to burn it clean with a fire.
