Yin Zongdao trotted all the way to the door of the study.

"Dad, you are in such a hurry to find me, is there anything wrong?"

The light in the study was very dim, and Yin De was sitting behind the bookcase, sighing and frowning.

Raising his hand to signal Yin Zongdao to enter the house, he hesitated, picked up a letter from the bookcase, handed it to Yin Zongdao, and then sighed again.

"What is this?"

"Just look at it and you'll understand!"

Yin Zongdao glanced at the dim light, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Then, he stood up all of a sudden, and said indignantly, "Dad, I can't promise them." These guys are simply insatiable. I had already asked for thirty carts of food and fifty pairs of armor before, but I didn't even hurt Li Yanqing's hair. They are so embarrassed to hate it, and as soon as they open their mouths, they are 100,000? ”

Yin De raised his head and roared angrily: "You shout, you keep shouting...... If you keep shouting, even the government will know about it. ”

"But ......"

"Sit down, my son."

Yin De motioned for Yin Zongdao to sit down and sighed, "It's also my father's thought that he wants to cooperate with these bandits." Now, I'm hard to ride...... Xie Xiang said very clearly, if he didn't hand over 100,000 yuan, he would tell him about our collusion with him to ambush Li Yanqing. You should be clear, if this matter spreads, our Yin family is afraid that the family will be ruined. ”

"What do you mean...... Promise him? ”

"Xie Xiang said that as long as we take out another 100,000 guan, he will definitely try to kill Li Yanqing, and then take people away from Gongxian."

Yin Zongdao frowned, and asked softly, "Does he have this ability?" ”

"Whether we have the ability or not, we can only do this now.

Now Li Yanqing has been named the Eagle Yang Lang General of the Black Stone Mansion, and he will take office soon. If properly arranged, it is not impossible to kill him. That Xie Xiang can kill all the way from Qi County to here, and he must have some ability. Only by killing Li Yanqing, otherwise we will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.

However, now that the government is locking down very tightly, it is unlikely that you want to carry this lot of money out.

I have reconciled and agreed that 100,000 pieces of armor should be exchanged for 150 pairs of iron armor, 200 lances, 50 horses, and 50 carts of grain. It's unlikely that these things will be purchased from Gongxian, but I've arranged for them to be delivered by water from Luoyang. Tomorrow morning, the goods will be delivered to Nanhedu. I want you to take the flying money and go to Nanhedu to pick up the goods, and then send them to Songgao Mountain. The interpreter will arrange for someone to receive it. ”

Nanhe Ferry is a small ferry on the Luoshui branch, and there are many boats passing by.

And the so-called flying money, just like the bills of exchange in later generations, but the degree of popularity is not high.

Yin Zongdao said: "Why do you want me to go? ”

Yin De's eyes widened, "If it weren't for your son of a, why would I offend Li Yanqing and be worried now?" Now the investigation in the city is very strict, and now I asked Yin Zhao to leave the city, and I was also closely interrogated. You are in and out of the city frequently, and you have a close relationship with the guards at the city gates. If you go out, it won't attract attention, but it's easier, so don't you want me to go? ”

Yin Zongdao's mouth opened, and he nodded reluctantly for a long time.

"As soon as it dawns tomorrow, you will go with Yin Zhao.

If it is interrogated, it is said that he went to Luoyang to check a business...... Zong Dao, this matter is related to the survival of my Yin family, you are careless. ”

Although Yin Zongdao is idle, he also knows the severity.

Unwillingly, he reluctantly agreed, and asked Yin De for a few hundred yuan of pocket money, and then left the study.

Looking at the back of Yin Zongdao leaving, Yin De couldn't help but sigh.

I hope that this time there will be no more mistakes, otherwise, it will really be ruined and the family will die......****

Li Yanqing set up a banquet in the back garden of the Li Mansion.

Midsummer night, very hot.

Walking down the street, even the wind is hot.

However, the garden is extremely cool, but you can see the green willows and the cool breeze. On the surface of the lake, lotus flowers bloom, which is extremely moving. In the pavilion, Li Yanqing and the guests pushed the cups and changed the lamps, which was also very lively.

Tonight's banquet is to celebrate Li Yanqing's appointment as the general of the Eagle of the Black Stone Mansion.

On the day that Yang Guang boarded the dragon boat in Luokou, Luoyang also sent an envoy to convey the imperial court's appointment of Li Yanqing.

The Eagle of the Black Stone Mansion is a general, and the rank is more than 800 stones.

This eagle is similar to the captain in the military system of the Han Dynasty. Well, the status is not particularly high. Under the rule of the Great Sui, there were 630 Eagle Yang Mansions, that is to say, there were 630 Eagle Yang Lang Generals, how high can this status be? Although the status of the eagle is not high, the power is not small, and the role is also great. They are not subject to local control, but only obey the dispatch of the Twelve Guards, and have a certain amount of decision-making power.

In the event of a local accident, Yingyang Mansion can temporarily replace the local government office and exercise military control.

The area under the rule of Heishi Yingyang Mansion is bounded by Songgao Mountain in the south, Luokoucang in the north, Yanshi border in the west, and Gongxian and Hugaoguan in the east.

The scope of its rule is the widest one among the six major Yingyang mansions in Xingyang County.

Therefore, the establishment of the Black Stone Eagle Yang Mansion has also increased, and its command can reach 1,500 people, which is also the first of the six Eagle Yang Mansions.

In the past two days, there has been an endless stream of people coming to congratulate them.

Even includes Niu Zhukou Eagle Yang Lang General Pei Xingyan, Xingze Ying Yang Lang General Xin Wenli, and Putian Ying Yang Lang General Zheng Weishan. Zheng Weishan was originally the lieutenant of Huoyi County, and he once defeated the Hebei bandit Yang Gongqing, so he made a contribution. Later, under the instigation of Zheng Renji and others, Zheng Weishan was appointed as the general of the Eagle Yang Lang of Putian Mansion. However, in comparison, Putian Yingyang Mansion has the lowest level among the six major mansions.

But for Zheng Weishan, it is enough!

From a county lieutenant in the lower county, he has become a six-rank eagle general, which can be regarded as a three-level promotion.

When Li Yanqing was in Zheng's mansion, Zheng Weishan was not bad to his ancestors and grandchildren, so Li Yanqing was promoted to the general of the five-grade eagle, and Zheng Weishan naturally came to congratulate him. In addition to these three people, there were three uninvited guests at the banquet. The oldest man is named Zhang Jixun, who is the new general of the Yingyang Lang of Keishan Mansion. He came from Luoyang, and on the orders of Zhang Zhongjian, he had something to discuss with Yanqing.

The other two uninvited guests were Mai Zizhong and a military general.

The general's name is Fei Qingnu, who was originally the Hu Benlang of the Zuobei Mansion, and was also under the command of Mai Tiecane earlier, and later served under Mai Mengcai's account.

This man is about thirty-four or five years old, and he is tall and big, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and is good at using a pair of iron hammers, and has the courage to be unstoppable.

Originally, Fei Qingnu was supposed to stay in Luoyang, but because Mai Zizhong was appointed as the general of the Eagle Strike Lang of the Black Stone Mansion, Mai Mengcai was worried that Mai Zizhong would not be able to gain a foothold alone, so he sent Fei Qingnu to assist Mai Zizhong. His identity is the Black Stone Mansion Bing Cao, and the rank is from the sixth grade.

In this regard, Li Yanqing is understandable.

Who is a parent who doesn't think about their children?

Moreover, the position of Cao Cao, a soldier of the Black Stone Mansion, is only a subordinate officer, and Li Yanqing has not taken it to heart.

Mai Zizhong said: "The young slave is a strong general, but he can charge into battle, but he is not a suitable person. In addition, Li Lang will also need to allocate officials as soon as possible and make up for the troops. According to the military system of the Black Stone Mansion, there are 1,500 full personnel, and you and I can also be equipped with 500 personal guards.

My father gave me 200 tiger warriors, and Li Lang will be able to bring 300 personal soldiers. ”

The implication is to tell Li Yanqing: I have no intention of competing with you for power and profit, except for Fei Qingnu's position as a soldier, I will not fight with you.

The Black Stone Eagle Yang Mansion can be equipped with one general, one Changshi, and two soldiers.

Mai Zizhong released enough kindness, and Li Yanqing naturally wanted to repay the favor. At the banquet, he quickly adjusted the military system of the Black Stone Mansion, and set up three regiments under the military government, each with 500 people. Mai Zizhong led a regiment by himself, and he could choose from the existing soldiers and horses in the Luokou Military Mansion.

I'll give you one of the three lieutenants.

And Li Yanqing also knew that Mai Zizhong should have the intention of restraining himself when he became the general of the Eagle Strike. In this case, I will generously send you a group of soldiers and horses, and some people in the province say that I have monopoly power in the Black Stone Mansion. This is a great thing for him and for Mai Zizhong.

"General Li Lang, you are terrible now."

At the banquet, Pei Xingyan said in a weird manner: "Damn, it was actually you who went out of the town of Heishi Mansion and suddenly became the head of the six major generals."

Brother Xin, we have been fighting for life and death for the past three years, but this guy has been on the loose for three years. As soon as it came up, it climbed on our heads, and I couldn't swallow it. Li Yanqing, if the two of us have a trick, you let me beat me up, which can be regarded as this bad breath. ”

Xin Wenli had a good impression of Li Yanqing because Li Yanqing brought Xin Shixiong's last words.

In addition, three years ago, they fought side by side together, which can be regarded as the love of robes. In the past three years, he has been out of the town of Yingyang Lang in Xingze Mansion, and he has a lot of contact with Li Yanqing, so his words are very casual. Hearing Pei Xingyan's words, Xin Wenli also laughed and nodded in favor.

"Pei Laohu, I have no opinion if you want to fight, but you have to ask Da Heizi and Ah Ling first.

If you can win against them, you will have to fight Shen Guang for a while, and then you can fight me in the end...... When the time comes, don't say I'm bullying you. ”

"Damn, every time you know how to bully more and less, you can't be considered a hero."

"You really want to fight me?"

"Nonsense, we haven't done it in ten years, I just want to know, how good you are."

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "No problem!" ”

"Then you choose the time." Pei Xingyan suddenly became excited.

Li Yanqing said with a straight face: "This matter will be notified after I have discussed it with your sister." ”

"You ......"

Pei Xingyan pointed at Li Yanqing, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

Xin Wenli and the others were on the side, laughing.

Fei Qingnu couldn't help but ask Mai Zizhong in a low voice, "Little General, General Pei Lang and General Li Lang will do it, why do you want to explain it to General Pei Lang's sister?" ”

Mai Zizhong smiled bitterly, "You don't know, that Pei Laohu's sister is Li Yanqing's wife." Although Pei Laohu is powerful, but Pei Niangzi, how can he be allowed to fight with Li Yanqing? ”

"Oh!"

Fei Qingnu suddenly realized.

However, in my heart, another question arose: "Little general, isn't this Li Yanqing a person with no ability?" ”

"Qing Nu Hugh wants to talk nonsense, I don't know Li Yanqing's martial arts, but at the age of fourteen, he led more than 100 people to cross Goguryeo and kill countless people, which is his real ability. Otherwise, how could his invincible name come out of thin air? You should be careful in the future, Li Yanqing is strict in governing the army and strict in military discipline. Don't look at him smiling at this time, but there is no room for sand in his eyes. ”

Fei Qingnu nodded, "The last general has written it down!" ”

At this moment, from the back garden path, a person ran in.

But I saw that this person was less than eight feet tall, his steps were light, and the dust under his feet did not move when he landed.

"Lao Shen, you came just in time, there are no outsiders here, you can also sit down and drink together."

The person who came was Shen Guang.

He smiled and greeted everyone, and stepped forward to laugh with Pei Xingyan.

"Little General, who is this?"

"This person is the number one master under General Li Lang, named Shen Guang, nicknamed Meat Feixian. Don't underestimate him, even if it is Pei Laohu, if you compete with this person, it will be more than lucky. ”

Fei Qingnu gasped, "Wouldn't that be comparable to General Tianbao?" ”

Pei Xingyan was also born in Hu Benlang, and he was still Fei Qingnu's official at that time. Of course Fei Qingnu knows Pei Xingyan's skills. Two Reserve Mansions, two Prison Mansions, among the many masters, except for Yuwen Chengdu, almost no one can suppress Pei Xingyan.

It seems that this Li Lang General's command is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

"Old Shen, sit down and have two drinks together."

Pei Xingyan, who was the highest-born, greeted him like this, and the other people naturally had no opinions.

Shen Guangdao: "Pei Laohu, didn't you have a lot of fun drinking last time?" Hehe, I'll drink it later, I have something to report to my son. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly walked to Li Yanqing's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Li Yanqing's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal.

"Very well, let him go to the Three Jewels to receive the reward...... Lao Shen, you go and tell Lao Su to prepare the soldiers and horses immediately and set off at any time. ”

Shen Guang nodded and left in a hurry.

Pei Xingyan asked curiously: "Yanqing, is there any trouble?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled, "It's just a little clown, don't worry about it...... Oh, where did we just go? Wagangzhai! Brother Xin, has Wagang been active a lot lately? ”

Xin Wenli and Zheng Weishan both nodded in unison.

"In the past two months, the Wagang thieves have been so frequent that they are simply arrogant.

Zhai Rang's bandits Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin raided the surrounding area again and again, which was quite tricky. Both of them are generals and have good martial arts. And the Wagang thieves often attacked thousands or even tens of thousands, and Lao Zheng and I had a lot of headaches. I have spoken to Lao Wei about this before, and I hope that Xingyang County can help. In fact, to deal with these bandits, you must not be merciful, and after hitting them a few times, they will naturally stop.

However, Yang Junshou did not agree, controlled the villagers in the county, and was not allowed to fight in case of thieves, and defended the city.

In this way, although it can reduce losses, it also encourages the arrogance of thieves. Not only that, but many local ruffians have also joined the Wagang thieves to report on them. In the long run, I am worried that the hard-won peace of Xingyang County will be destroyed by the Wagang thieves. ”

Li Yanqing also knows something about Xingyang County's reputation on Yang Qing.

Although this person is a clan, like his Lao Tzu, he was born as timid as a mouse. Whenever the Wagang thieves appeared, he had only one order: not to fight.

Over time, many people in Xingyang County called Yang Qing 'Yang Mouse' in private, which means that this person is as timid as a mouse.

But Li Yanqing can't help it!

When it comes to titles, people are clans; In terms of official position, people are county guards; In terms of military position, this guy is still the governor of Henan, and he has the power to control the six prefectures. Fortunately, Yang Qing is not very good at using this kind of power, so he has nothing to do with the military government. But as Xin Wenli said, it is not a good thing in the long run.

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly, and the topic suddenly changed, "I heard that Li Mi defected to Wagang?" ”

"yes, last month."

Li Yanqing thought for a while and reminded: "Brother Xin, Pei Laohu, you have to be careful. This Li Mi, Fei Zhai, is comparable to those people, resourceful, and courageous. His thoughts are quite far-reaching. I'm afraid he's going to do something about it. ”

"Jindi Pass?"

It is exactly between Xingze Mansion and Niuzhukou, and it is also the gateway to Xingyang.

Historically, Li Mi did take Jindi Pass as his first battle on Wagang, and after becoming famous in the first battle, he established his status as the Duke of Pushan.

Pei Xingyan laughed loudly when he heard this, "Yanqing, you have to increase the morale of a thief."

If Li Mi doesn't come, if he dares to come, I will only rely on Niu Zhukou's soldiers and horses, which is enough to defeat him. ”

Li Yanqing frowned, "Lao Pei, you don't want to underestimate the enemy." ”

Pei Xingyan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xin Wenli first: "Tiger, what General Li Lang said is not unreasonable. Thinking about that Li Mi, Yang Su once valued him, thinking that he was not a genius. Yang Su's vision is still trustworthy, and we can't take it lightly. ”

Since Xin Wenli opened his mouth, although Pei Xingyan was not convinced, he didn't say anything.

Li Yanqing also knows that Pei Xingyan's ability is enough, but if he is a young man, it is inevitable that there will be no one in his eyes.

He's grown so big, I'm afraid he doesn't know what failure is. Even though he went to Goguryeo twice with Yang Guang, he never fought.

That's it, since Xin Wenli is paying attention, there must be no problem.

Li Yanqing then changed the topic again, picked up the wine glass, and came to Mai Zizhong's side.

"Maizi, I have something I want to ask you for."

"What's the matter?"

Li Yanqing whispered a few words in Mai Zizhong's ear, and Mai Zizhong's eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit.

"Is what General Lee said true?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Not many people know your identity now, so it doesn't attract attention." I want you to leave for Blackstone at once. ”

Mai Zizhong immediately got up, "Without further ado, then I'll set off immediately." ”

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

"This is the last general's business, don't worry, I won't let those people escape."

"Maizi, those people are all bandits, and you are new to the Black Rock Mansion, so you are not very familiar with the situation here. So I'll let Su Lie and Ah Ling go with you. Ah Ling, you should know that Su Lie is my confidant and favorite general, and he is responsible for commanding the Qilin Guard in my mansion. He was very familiar with the situation here, and let him go with him, thinking it would be helpful. ”

Mai Zizhong thought about it and agreed.

"I have arranged for him to wait outside the house, and you will see him when you go out."

Mai Zizhong nodded, and left with Fei Qingnu.

On the way out, Fei Qingnu couldn't help but ask: "Little general, I heard that this Li Yanqing and you have a love feud, but just now, it seems that you have nothing to do with him?" ”

Mai Zizhong's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the brightly lit place in the garden.

He hesitated for a moment and replied, "General Li and I are just a battle of will, and at that time, I was also the one who had nothing to do.

Now that I'm married, I'm thinking he's coming soon.

In the past, grievances have long been faded, but they are just some people's talk about ridicule. Besides, Li Yanqing and I have the grace to save my life, how can I take revenge? It's just that in the eyes of others, he and I always have an inextricable hatred, but in fact, we don't take it to heart.

Qingnu, in the future, you need to have enough respect for General Li, and this person's methods are by no means comparable to you and me. ”

Fei Qingnu scratched his head and nodded again.

(To be continued)
