Chapter 391: Stern refusal

With Hu Qing'er's help, Li Yanqing and Zhou Wenyuan went out of the city without risk, although Zhou Wenyuan looked nondescript in armor and rode crookedly, but the soldiers defending the city still didn't dare to embarrass them, and directly let them out of the city gate.

Hu Qing'er sent them ten miles away to the west of the city, then stopped the war horse, took out two military medals and handed them to Li Yanqing and said: "Brother Li, little sister will not be far away, this is my father's military card, you take it with you." ”

"Thank you Qing'er!" Li Yanqing was grateful and hurriedly took the military card.

Hu Qing'er said to him again: "You go to Puzhou in the southwest direction, and the army of Deputy Marshal Lu is guarding there, and they don't dare to stop this military card, you take care all the way!" ”

"Qing'er, come with me!"

Li Yanqing looked at her and said: "A big war is about to break out, I'm afraid I will also participate in the war this time, I don't want to meet you on the battlefield, come with me!" ”

Hu Qing'er lowered her head and was silent, she bit her lip lightly and said, "I won't meet you on the battlefield, and neither will my father, Brother Li, we'll meet later!" ”

After speaking, she turned the horse's head and galloped away, and more than a dozen female soldiers also urged the horse to follow her, Li Yanqing looked at her back and went away, so she had to sigh, "Let's go!" ”

Zhou Wenyuan hurriedly urged the horse and followed Li Yanqing to the southwest in the direction of Puzhou.......

Hu Qing'er only ran out of five miles, and saw the dust flying, and an army was rushing towards this side, led by a general on horseback, who was the ruler of Wang Ying.

Wang Ying reined in the war horse, looked at Hu Qing'er's entourage, and immediately shouted angrily: "Where are the two men who went out of the city with you?" ”

Wang Ying got the news, so he led the army out to chase Hu Qing'er, and learned at the city gate that Hu Qing'er went out of the city to the west, and there were two male cavalrymen in the team, so he vaguely guessed a few points in his heart.

Hu Qing'er said coldly: "I don't understand what you're talking about, don't get in my way, get out of my way!" ”

She waved her long whip, which frightened Wang Ying and hurriedly dodged away, Hu Qing'er urged the horse to leave, Wang Ying was furious, "You stop me!" ”

He took out a chess stone from his arms and ran to Hu Qing'er, "Your housekeeper took a chess piece of this kind to the barracks to find you, I want to know who this person is and where is he?" ”

Wang Ying was hit in the forehead by Li Yanqing with a chess piece in Tangyin County and fainted, causing the county lieutenant to be rescued.

Hu Qing'er was stunned, she suddenly understood that there must be spies around her father, otherwise how would Wang Ying know that the housekeeper used this chess piece to find her father.

She was furious in her heart, and whipped Wang Ying fiercely, Wang Ying had already taken precautions and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the whip.

He also scolded angrily, "Don't be embarrassed, you rescued the county lieutenant's mother-in-law in Tangyin County, do you dare to say that the two people who rescued the county are not in the same group as you?" I'm still hiding it for your father and daughter in front of the owner of the village! ”

"I don't know your dirty thoughts, who rarely receives your affection!"

"Good! Good! Just when I'm Wang Ying blind, let's go! ”

Wang Ying is just not as good as the talent and has to let the other party go, otherwise he will definitely capture Hu Qing'er on the spot.

"Let's go!" Hu Qing'er snorted and led more than a dozen female soldiers away.

Wang Ying watched a group of cavalry walk away, gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Let's see!" ”

......

Song Jiangtie listened to Wang Ying's report with a blushing face, and said coldly for a while: "Why didn't you report before?" ”

Wang Ying lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, Song Jiang glared at him for a long time, snorted coldly and said: "You don't know who this person is, but I know that this person's name is Li Yanqing, he was the flower of the imperial examination last year, and he won the first place in the bow horse competition three years ago." ”

"It turned out to be him!"

Wang Ying was taken aback, "He.... How did he know Hu Qing'er? ”

"They used to be neighbors in the same village, and when I went to find Hu Cheng, I also competed with him, his flying stone is indeed very powerful, Dai Zong and Li Kui have suffered a big loss, I heard that this person is the head of the intelligence department under the master of the Dao, he appeared in Yuncheng, he must have come to explore intelligence."

Wang Ying immediately gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Hu Cheng must have betrayed our information to him." ”

"Do you have any proof?"

Wang Ying opened his mouth to stammer, Song Jiang glanced at him coldly and said: "If there is evidence, you take out the evidence, if there is no evidence, it is better not to talk nonsense about this kind of thing." ”

Wang Ying thought of Hu Qing'er helping Li Yanqing again and again, and he didn't know what kind of ambiguous relationship there was between them, he was suddenly jealous, and gritted his teeth: "Although there is no evidence, you can't watch her blatantly help the enemy like this!" ”

Song Jiang understood Wang Ying's thoughts, and he said lightly: "I will go and talk to Hu Cheng again, and try my best to meet your wishes, but there is no evidence of whether Hu Cheng collaborated with the enemy, he is Lu Junyi's right-hand man, I don't want the Liangshan Army to split before the war, you are not allowed to mention this matter in front of anyone, understand?" ”

Wang Ying was overjoyed in her heart, "I understand my humble position, thank you for your concern!" ”

........

Song Jiang knew in his heart that Li Yanqing would come to Sucheng for two or three days at most, and he would not be able to find any valuable information, and the key was that as long as Hu Cheng did not leak secrets, Li Yanqing would not gain anything.

In fact, Song Jiang also knows Hu Cheng, although Hu Cheng has rejected his proposal several times and has a not very harmonious relationship with himself, but it is impossible for him to betray Liangshan's secrets, which Song Jiang knows well, so he doesn't take this matter too seriously.

The more important reason is that the killing of Hou Meng made Song Jiang very passive, Liu Tang, Lin Chong, Ruan brothers and other old brothers asked him to give an explanation, whether he wanted to betray the Liang Shan army, this turmoil has not subsided, Song Jiang does not dare to cause a new turmoil, if it really angers Lu Junyi's faction, the division of the Liang Shan army may be inevitable.

Sending Wang Ying away, Song Jiang immediately went to the barracks and came to Hu Cheng's big tent, at this time, Hu Cheng was discussing with Lu Junyi about army training, at this time, the soldiers said at the door of the tent: "The owner of the village is here!" ”

The owner of the village is the arbitrary name of Song Jiang within the Liangshan Army, and the official title should be called General, Song Jiang self-proclaimed Yun Gong and General, Lu Junyi is one level lower than him, called General, and the other Zhongyi cousins are under the command of the capital, and then below are the commanders, the heads, the team leaders and the officials.

Hu Cheng and Lu Junyi hurriedly got up and greeted them, "See the owner of the village!" ”

Song Jiang smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just idle, come over and have a look, I hope it doesn't disturb you to discuss military affairs." ”

Lu Junyi said with a smile: "Hu Dutong and I are discussing the training of recruits, and we have already finished the discussion, please come in and sit down!" ”

Song Jiang happily walked into Hu Cheng's big tent and sat down on the main seat very unceremoniously, Hu Cheng hurriedly added a seat, and asked the soldiers to serve tea.

"I actually came today to talk to Hu Dutong about family life, if I'm not mistaken, Ling Ai should be fifteen years old this year!"

Hu Cheng immediately understood Song Jiang's intention, he didn't want Lu Junyi to be caught in the middle and embarrassed, so he gave Lu Junyi a look, Lu Junyi understood, got up and smiled: "Let's talk!" I still have military affairs to deal with, so I won't accompany the owner of the village. ”

"General Lu, though, be casual!"

Lu Junyi bowed and left in a hurry, and Song Jiang smiled again: "Hu Dutong should understand what I mean!" ”

Hu Cheng sighed and said: "I promised my mother that I would not consider my marriage before the little girl was eighteen years old, and I remember telling the owner of the village that the little girl is only fifteen years old now, and I will consider her marriage in three years, hoping that the owner of the village will recommend a heroic and upright young man to me, so that I can be a good son-in-law." ”

Hu Cheng not only politely rejected Song Jiang's proposal again, but also made it clear that he would not consider Wang Ying.

Song Jiang smiled awkwardly: "Young people are not necessarily heroes, and young people are not stable, how can you let Qing'er entrust her for life?" ”

"This depends on the understanding of the hero, maybe my understanding is different from the owner of the village."

Song Jiang smiled, "Actually, it's almost the same, the so-called heroes, first of all, have great ambitions, and be able to do great things, have excellent command ability, and be able to take charge alone, although Wang Ying's appearance is not too satisfactory, but he can command thousands of soldiers at the age of eighteen, and he has great ambitions......"

Without waiting for Song Jiang to finish speaking, Hu Qing'er rushed in like a gust of wind, and said to Song Jiang with an angry face: "Do you want to marry me to that bantam cat again?" Except for him, all the men in the world are dead, and I have no one to marry? ”

Hu Cheng's face sank, and he scolded: "Qing'er must not be rude!" ”

"Daddy, don't you understand? The owner of the village mentions that person again and again, he just refuses to give up until he achieves his goal, so you can reject him clearly! Tell him not to mention it again. ”

The atmosphere in the big tent was very embarrassing, Song Jiang's face was extremely ugly, and he said for a while: "General Wang is the pillar of the Liangshan Army, where is he not worthy of Sanniang?" ”

"What woman would want to marry such a beast who slaughters good and ravages women in my presence?"

Hu Qing'er's words were extremely serious, Song Jiang's face finally couldn't hold back, he was a little annoyed and angry, snorted heavily, got up and walked outside the big tent.

Hu Cheng sighed, "Qing'er, you really shouldn't talk like this to the owner of the village." ”

"My daughter doesn't understand, how much favor did my father receive from Song Jiang, and he must be loyal to him like this?"

Hu Cheng shook his head, "I was framed by the government, my family was ruined, and your grandmother also died in prison. ”

Hu Qing'er bit her lip and said in a low voice: "My daughter heard a rumor before, saying that the government found a list of Liangshan Juyi, and there were names of Lu Zhai and Daddy on the list, so the government began to arrest Daddy and Lu Zhai, if this rumor is true, then who gave this list to the government, didn't Daddy think about it?" ”

Hu Cheng's face was solemn, he had also heard of this rumor, for which he also asked Lu Junyi privately, but Lu Junyi firmly denied it, at that time he still believed in Song Jiang's loyalty, but now as Song Jiang's true face is gradually exposed, Hu Cheng also began to suspect that the real culprit who framed himself and caused his mother's death was Song Jiang?

"Daddy, the soldier who secretly spies on Daddy is probably not sent by Bantam, but by Song Jiang."

Hu Cheng nodded slowly, he had already thought of this, to be able to buy his own soldiers, I am afraid that only Song Jiang has this ability, but it was leaked by Wang Ying in a hurry, Hu Cheng looked at both sides, and said in a low voice: "Don't startle the snake in this matter, we just have a plan in our hearts." ”

"My daughter understands!"

At this time, Hu Qing'er remembered something and hurriedly said to her father: "I want to ask my father to help me build a new whip blade." ”

Hu Qing'er was already impatient to practice the whipping technique left by Luan Tingyu.
