The carriage drove slowly along the neat and spacious road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is a flag inserted in the wheel, and the book is Xingyang Town, and there is a big 'Yang' character in the middle. In front of the car and behind the car, there are attendants to follow, which looks particularly powerful.

is so magnificent, except for the Xingyang County Guard, who else can there be in the vehicle of King Yang Qing's mansion?

Liu Zhouchen sat in the car and looked out through the window. But see the gravel paved road, stretching from Gongxian to the east for more than 50 miles, very spectacular. Such gravel avenues, in the entire Xingyang County, there are only two. With Gongxian as the center, it is 20 miles long in the east and 30 miles long in the west. The west avenue is called Lijiamen Avenue, and the east road is dubbed 'Goose Path' Avenue by the locals, which is also paved to show respect for Li Yanqing. These two roads are also between Xingyang and Luoyang, two roads that must be passed, and they are quite famous.

Li Yanqing is only double ten years old, but he already has this reputation?

It is no wonder that King Xun deliberately wanted to suppress him, and even did not hesitate to go against the holy will to strengthen the power of Xingyang Shixuan. But even so, can Li Yanqing really be suppressed? With his reputation in Gong County, it may be very difficult to suppress him.

Not to mention what kind of relationship Xu Shiji and Li Yanqing is.

Even if the two of them really turn against each other, can Xu Shiji and the Kanto Shixuan behind him compete with Li Yanqing in this Xingyang County?

In Liu Zhouchen's heart, a trace of inexplicable worry suddenly rose.

Li Yanqing...... As the saying goes, success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He!

Xingyang County is now inseparable from Li Yanqing, but if it is not controlled, or even forcefully suppressed, his prestige in Xingyang County will be incomparable. Unless, Yang Qing has the ability to transfer Li Yanqing from Xingyang County. But Li Yanqing is a powerful general personally arranged by Yang Guang in Heishi Pass. Judging from his achievements and exploits, Yang Guang's seemingly foolish appointment this time was a stroke of genius.

If there was no Li Yanqing, Xingyang would be in danger now......

Therefore, Yang Qing could not transfer Li Yanqing away.

Under such circumstances, King Xun's control over Xingyang will weaken more and more as Li Yanqing's fame rises, so that it will completely lose control.

When Liu Zhouchen thought of this, he couldn't help but be worried.

The carriage came to the city of Gongxian County, and its own guards went to hand in the papers. Liu Zhouchen didn't get out of the car, just sat in the car and looked out of the window.

The sound of horses' hooves, from far and near, came from behind the car.

Liu Zhouchen looked behind through the car window and saw a team of horses, speeding past the car. There were about twenty people, led by an old man, who straddled a fine horse and had a good demeanor. He was thin and clear-looking, with gray hair on his temples. He wore a black scarf on his head, a black shirt and a single shirt, a lion and jade belt around his waist, a pair of black boots on his feet, and a sharp sword under his ribs.

Looking at the age, this old man is about forty or fifty.

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose bridge, and quite heroic appearance.

Liu Zhouchen just glanced at it inadvertently, but he didn't want to be like a lightning strike. He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and watched the old man lead people past the car, and under the respectful greeting of a team of guards at the city gate, he entered Gong County without hindrance.

How is he?

Liu Zhouchen hurriedly got up and probed out of the carriage.

"What is the origin of those people just now?"

A servant hurriedly went over to inquire, and then quickly returned to the carriage.

"Lang Jun, those people who went over just now are all the generals of the Li Mansion. The old man at the head is said to be Li Langjun's teacher, named Li Ji.

This time Li Langjun got married, he is also Li Langjun's only elder. Therefore, Gong County also has great respect for him. ”

"Leeki?"

Liu Zhouchen thoughtfully, his fingers tapped lightly on his thigh.

"Liu Langjun, let's go straight to the Li Mansion?"

"No, don't go to Li's Mansion for the time being, first find a place to stay in Gongxian County, and when Li Langjun gets married, it's not too late for us to come to the door to congratulate."

"Whoa!"

Although Liu Zhouchen is only Yang Qing's retainer, he is also the most trusted staff member around Yang Qing.

Therefore, no one dared to regard him as a retainer, and most of them were called 'Lang Jun'. This time, Liu Zhouchen was ordered to come to Gongxian County to attend Li Yanqing's wedding on behalf of Yang Qing. One should be the matter, through Liu Zhouchen to decide. How to come to the door and how to congratulate depends on Liu Zhouchen's proposition.

Liu Zhouchen also knew that it was impossible for him to hide his whereabouts from Li Yanqing.

However, Li Yanqing was busy with marriage at this time, and it was impossible for him to take care of himself. Besides, when the wedding is said to come to the door to congratulate again, there is no lack in the number of ceremonies. So Liu Zhouchen was not in a hurry, he decided to live in Gongxian now, observe the situation, and then make a decision.

******

Li Xiaoji is in Gong County, and he is very comfortable.

Seeing that Yanqing's wedding date is approaching, his heart can be regarded as an end. Although he can't appear as Li Yanqing's father, he can use Yanqing's teacher and Yanqing's only elder to attend the wedding. In a way, it's a comfort.

Li Xiaoji lives in the Li Mansion, and every day he either takes people out to visit the mountains and rivers, or eats in the wine shop opposite the Li Mansion.

The more time passed, the more surprised Li Xiaoji became at Li Yanqing's prestige in Gong County. It seems that in this ancient county town, the prestige of the government is far less useful than Li Yanqing's words. According to his neighbors, Li Yanqing would give soup porridge to the shack every year, and countless people lived. Cash-for-work is often used to provide relief to displaced people. The words 'Li Dashanren' didn't come out of thin air. So much so that when you come to Gong County, you don't know who the county order is and where the county government is. But if you don't know who Li Yanqing is, where is the Li Mansion? It's almost impossible to move an inch.

Moreover, with the victory of the Black Stone Pass, Yanqing's reputation continued to expand outward.

Even the people of Xingyang County and Guancheng County have great respect for Yanqing. After all, although Xu Shiji won a great victory in Tiger Prison, he used the power of the two counties. And he is the spokesperson of the wealthy family, and the distance between him and those ordinary people has increased invisibly. In the eyes of the people, it is very close. Li Yanqing does not belong to the children of any wealthy family, he was adopted since he was a child, grew up in a difficult environment, and relied on his own ability and knowledge to get to today's position step by step.

If this is placed in later generations, it will also be an excellent inspirational theme.

In the eyes of the people, Qing and the Zheng family broke up, and even disrespected the will, and was ordered to think about it behind closed doors, and in the eyes of the people, it has also become a representative of not being afraid of power.

Such a person is the hero in the eyes of the people. Although Xu Shiji has outstanding achievements, compared with Yanqing, there is always a gap in writing. Even if the Tiger Prison Pass was victorious, Xu Shiji beheaded countless times, and even killed Wagang giants such as Li Wenxiang, but he could never be compared with Yan Qing.

Lee Hyo-gi is content and relaxed.

After returning home from a noon trip, he took a nap, and then, accompanied by his family in Fuzhong, walked out of Li's Mansion and came to eat at the wine shop he frequented. It's not that the food in the Li Mansion is not good, but here, Lee Hyo-gi can hear more rumors about Yanqing. Who is a parent who doesn't have some vanity? Did you hear it, the one they praised was my son!

Whenever Li Xiaoji hears people praising Li Yanqing, his heart is sweeter than eating honey.

That kind of pride, but the delicacies of the mountains and the sea can't give it......

As usual, Lee Hyo-gi ordered food and drinks, and sat in the corner by the window to eat. As soon as I ate two bites, I suddenly heard the attendant shout in a deep voice: "This gentleman, my master is dining, please don't disturb." ”

"Brother Li Ji, do you still know the old man?"

The person who came did not turn to leave, but called out to Lee Hyo-gi.

Lee Hyo-gi was stunned and looked up.

It doesn't matter what you see, Li Xiaoji's hand shook, and his chopsticks almost fell on the table. He stood up and waved his hand for his entourage to let someone come.

"Are you...... Brother Zhou Chenxian? ”

The person who came was Liu Zhouchen.

However, he didn't bring any entourage, wearing a green shirt and thin-soled black boots, and came to Lee Hyo-gi.

On the surface, Liu Zhouchen is very calm.

However, from his fiery gaze, there was an inexplicable excitement.

"Brother Li, after 30 years of farewell, are you okay?"

"Good, all good!"

Li Xiaoji was also very excited, and stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zhouchen's arm, "Brother Xian, have you been doing well all these years?" ”

Liu Zhouchen was excited in his heart and nodded vigorously.

He looked Li Xiaoji up and down, and after a while, he lowered his voice and said: "Thirty years ago, when Luoyang was goodbye, my brother became much older. ”

"Hehe, running around, how can you not get old?

Besides, these years are urging people to grow old, and in the blink of an eye, thirty years, half a Jiazi time...... Brother Xian, you haven't changed much. ”

Liu Zhouchen's eyes are moist!

The two sat down, and Lee Hyo-gi made a gesture to his entourage, and the entourage immediately took ten steps out to facilitate conversation between the two.

"Back then, my father and son were ordered by the old lord to sneak into the palace of the king to do things.

After the Luoyang incident, I didn't receive any news before. It wasn't until later that I heard that He Ruobi led his troops to kill the young master, the old ministers of Luoyang, and almost all of them were killed. My father died of depression, and before he died, he instructed me to find the blood of the young master and protect the old master. But the young lord died, and the lady, the little county lord, and the young man disappeared. I've tried to find you, but I don't want to...... Yanjia Village is also gone! I guess you might be hiding under Tang Guogong. It's just that I have no contact with Guogong, and I don't dare to come to the door rashly.

It wasn't until nine years ago, when Chief Ha was killed outside the end gate, that I learned the news of the young master. I just didn't expect ......"

Liu Zhouchen took a deep breath, "The old master is gone, the young master is dead, and even Shaolangjun is ...... Although I have gained a foothold in the palace over the years, I have always felt very uncomfortable. ”

Li Xiaoji drank the wine silently, and sighed together with Liu Zhouchen.

"But it's bitter for you!"

"I don't feel bitter, but I just feel that I can't contribute half of my strength to the old master, and I am really ashamed of the grace of the old master."

Li Xiaoji filled a glass of wine for Liu Zhouchen, "Time has passed, and the robe has almost been cut off, I am really happy to be able to reunite with you."

By the way, how did you come to Gong County? ”

Liu Zhouchen couldn't help laughing, "I still have to ask you, why are you here?" also transformed into Li Langjun's teacher? ”

"I ...... That's his teacher.

When he was studying at the Dou Family School in Jinguyuan, I taught at the Dou Family School. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful day. ”

"In this way, Li Langjun ...... with you"

"Zhou Chen, Li Langjun is like my own child, don't you have something to tell me?"

At that time, Liu Zhouchen's father, Young Master Liu, was downtrodden and adopted by Zhao Wangyu Wenyou. Later, Yang Jian usurped Zhou, and Yu Wenyou tried to assassinate Yang Jian, but he died. However, before that, Young Master Liu took Liu Zhouchen and took refuge in the mansion of King Yang Hong in accordance with Yu Wenyou's instructions. Originally, this was a secret move, Yu Wenyou thought that if the assassination failed, he could use the power of the Yang royal family to usurp power.

It's just that Yu Wenyou miscalculated one thing, Yang Hong was indeed a bold and courageous person before Yang Jian usurped Zhou.

But with the purge after Yang Jian's accession to the throne, Yang Hong changed his style and became cautious.

In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Yu Wenyou's son exposed his traces in Luoyang and was killed by Yang Jian in one fell swoop. It was in this massacre that all the ministers who had Zhou in mind were purged, and even Lee Hyo-gi's wife was almost killed. Although Young Master Liu was able to escape, he was disheartened and died of depression. After that, the power of the Zhou family was wiped out, and Liu Zhouchen could only hide in the palace.

Liu Zhouchen seemed to be a little hesitant and silent.

Li Xiaoji didn't ask, just drank, and kept persuading Liu Zhouchen to drink.

As he said, times have changed. After the ideals of the year were shattered, how much friendship did he still have with Liu Zhouchen? Even he himself couldn't be sure.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Zhouchen finally made up his mind.

"Originally, I didn't want to tell you about it...... But since you said that if Li Langjun is your own flesh and blood, then you can be regarded as the nephew of the younger brother.

Brother Li, your disciple is not simple...... His Royal Highness, the head of a county, was forced by him to be in a hurry.

He wanted to get the post of ambassador of Henan, but King Xun seemed reluctant. Therefore, he set up a plan for the two tigers to compete for food, and prepared to let Li Langjun and Xu Shiji, the tiger prison, compete for this position. Regardless of whether Li Langjun and Xu Langjun are really enemies, they must fight with real swords and guns. If he didn't fight, King Xun would inevitably use all his strength to sabotage Li Langjun's plan to serve as a raider.

Originally, this matter has been decided, and there will be action in these days.

However, due to the arrival of Li Langjun's marriage, King Xun had to put it on hold temporarily...... But after the marriage period, he will inevitably take action. ”

Li Xiaoji chuckled in his heart.

He glanced at Liu Zhouchen, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Zhou Chen, is this from your handwriting?" ”

Liu Zhouchen also smiled bitterly, "Brother Li, I didn't know the relationship between Li Langjun and you before. Cannibalism and sharing worries for others, I can't do anything about it. However, don't underestimate King Xun, although his surname is cowardly, he is not without means. These two tigers compete for food, and it is really from the hands of King Xun...... Hehe, of course, I also contributed to it, and I hope you don't blame. ”

Li Xiaoji thought about it, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "The little county lord is still here." ”

"Huh?"

Liu Zhouchen was stunned and stared at Li Xiaoji in amazement.

"It's this time that I want to marry Yanqing's barbarian princess with Pei Niangzi and the eldest grandson Niangzi, Gu Landuo. Her real name is Yu Wenduo, and she is the only blood and blood left by the young master in the world. When the Luoyang tragedy happened, the little county lord and his wife hid in the Zheng family and were childhood sweethearts with Yan Qing. ”

Li Xiaoji said, raised his head and looked at Liu Zhouchen without flinching.

That means: What to do? How are you going to choose?

Reviving the Great Zhou?

It has been nearly 40 years since the Sui Dynasty usurped the Zhou Dynasty, how many people still remember the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty? Even if there is a big chaos today, there is no anti-thief who openly states that he wants to restore the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In other words, it is impossible to revive the Great Zhou, and it has already become a dream yesterday.

However, does the love of the past still exist?

Your father and son Liu Zhouchen are favored by King Zhao, and even your Liu Zhouchen's mother is also the King of Zhao and married Young Master Liu. So now, are you still willing to work for King Zhao's last bit of blood and blood, and serve the dogs and horses?

Subconsciously, Lee Hyo-gi clenched the saber under his ribs.

Liu Zhouchen fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Liu Zhouchen raised his head, looked at Li Xiaoji with a wry smile and said, "Brother Li, you have given me a big problem!"

Let's put it this way, Li Langjun's strength made King Xun very scruples; But at the same time, King Xun praised Li Langjun very much.

He will definitely use Li Langjun, but only if Li Langjun does not threaten his position in Xingyang. These two tigers compete for food, it is imperative, and I can't stop it. But I'll do my best to stall for time. As for whether Li Langjun can come up with a corresponding method, it depends on his ability. ”

Lee Hyo-gi couldn't help frowning.

He was very dissatisfied with such a result.

But at the same time, he also knew that Liu Zhouchen did not have any intention of shirking.

The Yuwen clan has disappeared for many years, and it is already very interesting that Liu Zhouchen can still be like this.

"So, how long can you delay?"

Liu Zhouchen thought for a while, "Do my best, I will delay until the beginning of June at most." If you are delaying, I am afraid that King Xun will be suspicious. ”

"Okay, you must help me delay until June, no matter whether Yan Qing can come up with a countermeasure or not, I thank you here."

"Hugh wants to say such polite words, it is also my duty to help the little county lord."

Liu Zhouchen said goodbye, got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Li, now that the situation is unstable, you can also persuade Li Langjun to make plans early. Later, when he gets married, I will come to congratulate him, but if there is nothing special, please do not contact me. King Xun is very cautious and very careful...... Tell Li Langjun to pay more attention to King Xun's measures. I am now very worried that once the situation is irreparable, King Xun is likely to make a decision, and then Lang Jun will be in danger. ”

"Zhou Chen, the foolish brother is here, thank you for speaking for you."

Liu Zhouchen smiled slightly, did not be polite to Li Xiaoji again, and left with his hand.

Li Xiaoji sat behind the eating table and muttered for a long time, and after a while, he beckoned an attendant to step forward, "Immediately notify Shen Guang and let him keep an eye on this person." ”

Although Yanqing has a lot of respect for Li Xiaoji, Yanqing did not tell anyone about the brocade unicorn.

Externally, he just called Shen Guang his housekeeper. Li Xiaoji knew Shen Guang, and at the same time, he also knew that Shen Guang was Yan Qing's henchman.

Li Xiaoji didn't dare to be careless, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.

This is also why he would rather expose Duoduo's identity than tell Liu Zhouchen about the father-son relationship between Li Yanqing and himself...... It seems that Xingyang County is far more complicated than he imagined. I don't know if Yanqing can come up with a proper way to solve this trouble?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoji frowned, got up and walked down the restaurant......
