On the Qimen construction site, all the works are carried out in an orderly manner, and the voices of people are boiling, lively and rhythmic.

But in a vacant lot not far from Qimen, there were many people stranded there, standing or squatting or walking back and forth, and so on. These people are all dressed as people's husbands, and most of them look at the Qimen construction site, and they can see their expressions of anger and confusion from a distance.

Approaching the construction site, Li Congjing slowed down his horse. When he led people past these people, a few people ran out of the crowd, but instead of looking for Li Congjing, they ran to He Hong, who was following him, shouting "What's the matter".

He Hong came back from his contemplation and looked at these people, and couldn't help but wonder a little, "What are you doing here?" ”

After speaking, He Hong himself realized that something was wrong, and immediately looked at the construction site, but saw that the construction site was in full swing, and did not stop working.

He Hong naturally recognized that these people who stayed here were all from his He family or tenant farmers from the He family, and these people were arranged to come to the construction site to do things, so how could they stay here with nothing to do at this time?

Li Congjing didn't know when he had stopped his horse and walked over, "Why don't you ask, why are they staying here?" ”

He Hong looked at Li Congjing, only to feel that Li Congjing's face made him feel extremely bored, but the smile on Li Congjing's face made him extremely uneasy, he looked back at these people, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

A person came out of it, and it was estimated that it was the person in charge of the He family who was sent to manage these people, and he said to He Hong: "Early this morning, I will come to work as usual, but the town management Sizuo who manages here said that the people under the rule of the He family made trouble on the construction site yesterday, so they can no longer be used, so let me wait to leave." I have sent someone back to report the situation here to the head of the family, but after a long time, there is still no news back, and we can only wait here. ”

He Hong didn't know what kind of expression his face was, he looked at Li Congjing, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while.

What He Hong couldn't figure out the most was that the people of the He family accounted for a large share of the construction site, these people did not go to work, there should not be so many people on the construction site, and the work must not be carried out again, but it seems that everything is as usual on the construction site, and there is no sign of a lack of people. Then who is the share of the people of the He family?

And according to the prior agreement, the three clans advance and retreat together, why is it that after the people of the He family get off work, the people of the Wang and Zhao families are still working as usual?

"General Li is a good means!" At this point, the faces of both sides have been torn, and He Hong has no scruples when he speaks, "But General Li thinks that after my He family gets off work, the work can be carried out as usual?" Why didn't General Li want to think about it, since the three clans of Qimen could unite, it was not for nothing. The three ethnic groups are united, and the county government is helping each other, General Li is a lonely man, how can he fight us? ”

"Why is it that the steward actually spoke clearly and no longer concealed it, this is to give up treatment?" Li Congjing laughed twice, and then pointed to Qimen, and his voice gradually rose high, "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the bustle of the world is for profit, and the three clans of Qimen stand here, and they can unite because of profit, why can't they be divided because of profit?" Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights, the three clans of Qimen are in Qimen, there is a conflict of interests between you and me, even if they can meet for a while, it seems to be huge, but in fact it is vulnerable. The three clans have their own thoughts, and the interests of the family are the basis for action, so it is not difficult to divide them with benefits. ”

He Hong sneered: "What General Li said is certainly reasonable, but once the rope of the alliance is extremely strong, it will not be easily separated. General Li knows who is the force behind the united three clans? If General Li knew, he would know that it was not something that General Li could compete with alone! ”

Li Congjing said: "Who is it?" Isn't it the former commander of Wei Bojun, the old general Wu Jingzhong? ”

He Hong was surprised, "You actually know?" How do you know? ”

Li Congjing didn't answer immediately, got off the horse, and walked towards the pavilion on the side, "Riding on a horse to talk about current affairs is too awkward, why don't you come and sit down?" In any case, the bones of the body should always be much more comfortable. ”

He Hong hesitated for a moment, then followed, sat opposite Li Congjing on the stone case in the pavilion, looked at Li Congjing, and waited for him to speak.

Li Congjing took a moment and said slowly: "First of all, the Wei Bojun and the original Baoyi armies fought in front of the barracks, and then the former Wei Bojun military dependents were divided into residential houses, plus the He family made trouble at the construction site before, these things happened one after another, and people can't help but speculate about the connection. If you want to speculate on this connection, it is not difficult to find the cat in it: the former Wei Bojun. And the grievances between the envoy and the former Wei Bojun are nothing more than the old general Wu Jingzhong and He Chong's commander. The envoy has always been curious, what is the motive of the three clans of Qimen to attack the envoy, and why the new Qi County Commander will join your camp, with the above speculation, the answer is self-evident: old grudges. Or, more directly, revenge. ”

"But General Lee is just speculation." He Hong answered.

Li Congjing nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is just speculation. Once you have a conjecture, the next thing to do is to prove it. So the envoy decided to investigate the He family, unfortunately, the town Sizuo Wang Buqi is a member of the Wang family, and what is even more unfortunate is that after Wang Sizuo came back from the Immortal Mountain, he decided to assist the envoy, so He Chong is the He family, and he was immediately found out. ”

"He Chong is the confidant of the old general Wu Jingzhong, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been sent to deal with this envoy before. In this way, it is speculated that the big force behind the scenes of uniting the three clans of Qimen is General Wu. This is also speculation, and in order to prove this speculation, the envoy investigated the Qi County Order. So he found that the reason why Qi County Ling took office in Qimen was because of the recommendation of General Wu. In this way, it is clear why the Qi County Order united the three clans to deal with the envoy, and who came forward to promote the alliance of the three clans. ”

After Li Congjing finished speaking, He Hong was stunned for a while, and said, "It is reasonable that the He family will deal with General Li." But why did the Wang and Zhao families join in? General Li went out of Zhenqimen and led 3,000 soldiers, his power is not small, the Wang and Zhao families were too late, why dare to fight with you, General Li may speculate? ”

Li Congjing smiled and said, "It's not difficult to speculate. Although the power of this envoy is large, but it has not yet taken shape, the previous 3,000 soldiers are only in place 2,000 not to mention, and the composition is complex, the combat power has not been achieved, the prestige of the envoy has not been established, it is not difficult to deal with it, and the town officials are even more insufficient, in short, the envoy seems to be powerful, but in fact it is just a paper tiger. After the reorganization of Wei Bojun, although General Wu no longer led the original army, the official was promoted to a higher level and became a general, with greater power. In this case, the Wang and Zhao families still don't know how to choose? In short, the benefits are big enough, the pressure is big enough, and the risks are small enough, so it is impossible to deal with the envoys. ”

This time it was He Hong's turn to smile, "Since General Li knows that the situation is like this, why doesn't he confess his guilt to Old General Wu and give in, but instead fights the trapped beasts?" You must know that the dragon crossing the river can't fight the head snake on the ground, even if General Li is a famous general, in the face of such a scene, he can't do anything in Qimen. ”

At this time, the tea ordered by Li Congjing was brought up, Li Congjing handed over a bowl to He Hong, toasted him, put down the tea bowl, pretended to praise "good tea", and then said: "Although this tea is ordinary, you and I are busy for half a day, and we can quench our thirst and feel delicious." ”

"Tea is to cleanse troubles, and wine is to forget worries. Tea people, elegant and refined things. General Li used tea as a thirst-quenching thing, but it was a bit wasteful. He Hong's demeanor became more and more calm, because he already had an idea in his heart, "General Li has said so much to He today, and he has done a lot of things in the past two days, what his intentions are, He has already guessed a thing or two." ”

Li Congjing was surprised, "Oh, what's the matter, please speak." ”

He Hong smiled lightly, shook his sleeves, looked at Li Congjing, and said: "General Li is a person who knows the times, and knows that under the planning of General Wu, it is difficult to make a difference in Qimen, but he is unwilling to admit defeat if he does nothing. So General Li took advantage of what he did today to show his skills to the world and General Wu to show his strength. In this way, when General Li relented to General Wu, firstly, he had a weight, which could make General Wu give General Li some sweetness, and secondly, it would not make the people in Qimen think that the general was weak and could be bullied, after all, General Li still had to guard Qimen. It's a win-win-win-win ”

"What's the matter, this is what you found out?" Li Congjing grew his mouth.

"Of course, it's not hard to spot, is it?" He Hong smiled, "General Li is really a good skill, He admires it!" ”

Li Congjing didn't know what to say anymore.

He Hong continued: "General Li is under the influence of General Wu, and he will be the same as me in the future. General Li rest assured, you are now the commander of the first army, and General Wu will naturally not fight with you endlessly, that is unwise, it is not what General Wu can do. You will serve General Wu in the future, and General Wu will be very happy to be accompanied by a fierce general like General Li. General Li, the future is immeasurable! ”

Li Congjing was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly, and the laughter lasted for a long time.

Although He Hong didn't know what Li Congjing was laughing at, he was already laughing at the moment.

After a while, Li Congjing stopped laughing, he looked at He Hong, who was laughing, and teased: "Why do you care about what are you laughing at?" ”

He Hong smiled: "Naturally, I am happy to be in the same door with General Li." ”

Li Congjing couldn't help but laugh three times again and asked, "Who cares about what the envoy is laughing at?" ”

He Hong suppressed his laughter, "What is General Li laughing at?" ”

Li Congjing stood up, with a mockery in his eyes, and faced the Emperor Tianhou Tu, "I laugh at you and wait, it's already hopelessly stupid." You think that everyone in the world is like you, who only knows how to pursue profit, but does not want the dignity of knees; You think that all people in the world are like you, who only need power and power, and not morality in their hearts; You think that everyone in the world is like you, only seeking material things and private fame, not the fighting spirit in your eyes! ”

He Hong was stunned, and then sneered: "This is the reality. If you don't even have your life, you don't even have food to eat, what's the use of talking about these empty thoughts? A hundred years of life, how difficult, everything in the world, how complicated, people live in the world, they can't help themselves, for fame and profit, step on people or be trampled on, look down on people or be looked down upon, to be a human being, how can you not understand sacrifice? ”

Li Congjing laughed, "How can a person like you understand what a man's ambition is and what a brave heart is." In the past ten years, I read through 30,000 volumes of poetry and books, and practiced the sword of killing people on the battlefield; Now I gallop the world, I have heaven and earth in my heart, and I have mountains and rivers in my belly. I will go, and I will walk out of a great road between heaven and earth; If I want to break through, I will break a bloody path in the mountains and rivers. Even if I die, I will die on my way, my flesh will rot, my bones will dissipate, but my head will always be raised, and my eyes will always be staring ahead! ”

Li Congjing turned around and stared at He Hong's eyes, "Life is a hundred years, live in the eyes of the world, or live in your own heart." And I want to tell you that there is a kind of person in this world who has been living on his own path. They're called warriors! ”
