Chapter 46: Peach Blossom Village
Qingzhou City, Qingzhou Deputy General Liu Quan's house, Steward Liu had just come back from outside in a hurry, he had just come back, he didn't even rest, and went straight to Liu Quan's study. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is said that it is a study, but in fact, it is used by Liu Quan to make a show, and the books here are all new, but there are some valuable ornamental objects. Liu Quan seems to like to stay in the study on weekdays in order to show his taste, but he doesn't read either, and he doesn't know how he stays.
But at this time, Liu Quan was walking around in the study, obviously having something on his mind. Since Li Jing had exterminated Qingfeng Mountain, Liu Quan's income had obviously decreased a lot, and the money that Peach Blossom Mountain and Erlong Mountain had given him every month was not much, and since Li Jing came, it was simply gone.
In this way, Liu Quan has no reason not to hate Li Jing, since he sent a letter to Qingfeng Mountain and was put on a page by Li Jing, he has been sending people to keep an eye on Li Jing's military camp for more than half a year. No, Li Jing's military camp has been moving in the past two days, as if he was about to start camping, and then it quieted down again, and the people sent there immediately reported it to Liu Quan, but it made Liu Quan curious.
Steward Liu was discovered by Liu Quan as soon as he arrived at the door of the study, waved his hand to beckon the housekeeper, and asked eagerly, "Have you found any news here?" ”
Steward Liu said happily: "Master, the person sent has found out the news, and the cause of the incident is in Peach Blossom Mountain!" Peach Blossom Mountain once robbed a village eight or nine days ago, and Li Jing's purpose must have been Peach Blossom Mountain. ”
"Sure enough, Li Jing is a guy who likes to eat alone, and he won't tell General Ben if he has merit!"
When Steward Liu heard this, he secretly slandered in his heart, "I don't know where your 'Zhaowu Captain' came from!" But he asked, "Master, how do we deal with this matter?" ”
Liu Quan touched the rat's whiskers, pondered for a while, and instructed the housekeeper: "Hurry up and prepare the carriage and go to the Zhizhou Mansion, this time I will let Li Jing be my deputy!" ”
……
On the second day, as soon as Li Jing came back from Qin Ming's arrangement for Tang Long, he saw a master from the Zhizhou Mansion sitting in his living room, and the housekeeper was there to accompany him. At this time, the housekeeper also saw that Li Jing was back, and greeted this master, and the master was not polite, got up and came to Li Jing, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "General Li, there is an order in Zhizhou, tomorrow the whole battalion of the forward battalion will set off, and cooperate with the deputy general Liu Quan to exterminate the bandits in Peach Blossom Mountain!" ”
After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and stuffed it directly to Li Jing, and then did not wait for Li Jing to speak, and left directly. Li Jing only felt a little inexplicable, this master Li Jing had only seen him twice, where did he offend him! But if Li Jing knew that this master and Liu Quan were sons and daughters, maybe he wouldn't have any doubts.
This master Li Jing didn't take it to heart, but when he thought of Liu Quan, Li Jing had a headache, his plan to attack while Peach Blossom Mountain was robbed of grain was all disrupted, and he could be said to have offended this Liu Quan to death, what good thing could he do as his deputy!
When Lu Zhishen came back, seeing that Li Jing's mood was not high, he asked about it, Li Jing directly threw the official document to Lu Zhishen, Lu Zhishen smiled after reading it: "There is still my old friend on this Peach Blossom Mountain, Brother Jing, the Sprinkle family asks you for personal favors, can you spare the lives of Li Zhong and Zhou Tong?" ”
Li Jing knew the origin of Lu Zhishen and these two people, and immediately said: "What is my brother talking about, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong are usually less evil, I didn't plan to take the lives of the two of them, but now that Liu Quan is involved, it is a little annoying." ”
Lu Zhishen has been in Qingzhou for a long time, and he also knows the military discipline under Liu Quan, so he said worriedly: "I have an old relationship with Mrs. Liu of that Peach Blossom Village, and when I passed by, Mrs. Liu treated me kindly, Brother Jing, I can't rest assured, why don't I go with you tomorrow!" ”
Li Jing did not refuse, and said: "This is very good, I will go to find a pair of leather armor in the army to give to my brother, and it is good to set off with me in the army tomorrow." ”
Lu Zhishen responded, just waiting for tomorrow's departure.
……
On the third day, Li Jing and Lu Zhishen were walking on a small road in Taohua Village, and yesterday evening Liu Quan sent someone to send a message that they were meeting in Taohua Village today, and that they were preparing to put the army camp in Taohua Village. Li Jing and Lu Zhishen arrived early, and seeing that Liu Quan was still nowhere to be seen, they specially came to visit Mrs. Liu.
When Lu Zhishen went to Liu Taigong's village according to his memory, he saw that the people in the village were not lively, but looking at the specific situation, it was many people who carried things to the village and came out empty-handed, but for some reason. Fortunately, Lu Zhishen found Mrs. Liu who was watching outside the Zhuang Gate, so he beckoned Li Jing to come forward and ask clearly.
"Taigong, do you remember the monk at the beginning?"
Mrs. Liu was arranging for the villagers to carry things at this time, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, turned around and looked at it, and the person in front of him turned out to be the monk who saved his daughter in the first place! Mrs. Liu originally wanted to say hello, but when he looked at Li Jing and Lu Zhishen, who were dressed in military uniforms, he became vigilant.
Immediately said: "The benefactor came today, and the old man should have been entertained, but the old man got the news early this morning, saying that there were bandit officials and soldiers to be stationed in my Taohua Village, so he hurriedly arranged for the villagers to go to the village to avoid trouble, but it was not good to entertain!" ”
Li Jing saw that Mrs. Liu was wrong, and he couldn't laugh or cry, so he immediately explained: "The Taigong misunderstood, the two of us came today for this matter, and I am under Li Jing to be the commander of the forward battalion." If Taigong meets a sergeant who does not abide by military discipline, he must tell me, and Li Jingding will severely punish him, please rest assured! ”
Mrs. Liu looked at Lu Zhishen, and when she saw Lu Zhishen nodding, she knew that she had misunderstood, and she was about to apologize to Li Jing immediately, how could Li Jing let an old man in his sixties do this to himself, he immediately held up Mrs. Liu, and said again: "Taigong will definitely send someone to tell me in time, it is best to tell the villagers about this matter!" ”
"It's just ......" Liu Taigong hesitated, "The old man heard that it was Liu Quan, the deputy general of Qingzhou, who led the troops this time, you are just a commander, can you manage him?" ”
Lu Zhishen on the side smiled and said: "Taigong, you don't need to worry, my brother is from Tokyo, and he is not afraid of him Liu Quan. ”
After Mrs. Liu responded, Li Jing was worried that Liu Quan would not be able to find him, so he refused Mrs. Liu, who invited him to sit in the village, and went back to the camp with Lu Zhishen directly.
Sure enough, after Li Jing returned to the forward battalion, Liu Quan happened to come with the Qingzhou Xiang Army, and Shi Qian next to him said to Li Jing: "General, the subordinates have just estimated, this Liu Quan has probably brought 1,500 people, I am afraid that except for General Qin's direct subordinates, everyone else has been brought out." ”
Li Jing looked at it, sure enough, seeing that Liu Quan was approaching, he stepped forward to meet him, Liu Quan naturally did not give Li Jing a good face, and only said "Take the deployment and follow General Ben to Peach Blossom Village to camp." After that, Liu Quan ignored Li Jing and took the people to Taohua Village. Everyone around Li Jing was angry, and Lu Zhishen even scolded "plague thief", Li Jing stopped everyone, and he was also angry in his heart, he must let you Liu Quan know how powerful I Li Jing is!
