The spring of the fifth year of Chunhua is destined to be an eventful spring.

Seeing that the war in the southwest broke out again, Li Jiqian, who had been defeated and defeated repeatedly, after surrendering to the Great Song Dynasty, being given the name Zhao Baoji, and being named the Yinzhou Observation Envoy for three years, accumulated a certain amount of strength, rebelled again, and attacked Lingzhou again. And this time, his cousin who is also an enemy and friend, Li Jishou, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, is now Zhao Baozhong, and this time he is also eyebrow with Li Jiqian, openly hostile and secretly united.

Zhao Er, a great Song official who was already a little anxious about the rebellion in Shu in the southwest, heard that Li Jiqian had rebelled again, and couldn't help but be furious, and immediately appointed his eldest brother Li Jilong to deploy the soldiers and horses in Hexi, and led 50,000 forbidden troops to crusade against Li Jiqian. At this time, Li Ji, who wanted to save his life, rebelled against the Song Dynasty, secretly linked up with Li Jiqian, and begged for help in Liao.

In May of the fifth year of Chunhua, Li Jilong led the army to defeat Li Jiqian at Wubaichi, and Li Jiqian once again escaped into the desert. And Li Jisheng had nowhere to escape and was captured alive by Li Jilongsheng. Prime Minister Lü Mengzheng proposed to destroy the city of Xiazhou to prevent trouble before it happens, so that the Hexi party nobles had no city to rely on for rebellion, and their people went to Yin, Sui and other prefectures, and moved more than 8,000 Qiang people to Modong. Zhao Er agreed to this strategy and ordered Li Jilong to implement it.

And Li Jiqian, who fled the desert, begged to surrender again, and this time the Great Song Dynasty accepted it again, because Li Jiqian collected a thousand high-quality war horses and dedicated them to the Great Song Dynasty, and entered Kaifeng with his confidant Zhang Pu, who was also his most important confidant.

Kou Zhun had made a mistake last year to prevent Li Jiqian from causing trouble. For this Li Jiqian, who has been defeated repeatedly, surrendered if defeated, and rebelled when he has strength, Kou Zhun has attached great importance to it since he heard Liu Xu's correct answer. However, Kou Zhun's twists and turns did not attract the attention of the imperial court, and now Kou Zhun is not in the center of the imperial court, and he is also powerless about it.

And this time, when Kou Zhun received news from the servant in Kaifeng that the imperial court wanted to accept Li Jiqian's beggar again, he couldn't help but be a little angry. Immediately, he strongly persuaded the imperial court not to accept Li Jiqian's begging surrender, but to completely trap him in the desert to prevent future troubles. However, Kou Zhun's opinion was not adopted again, and Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng and Governor Li Changling strongly advocated accepting Li Jiqian's request to surrender, so that the northwest could be stabilized as soon as possible, so that the imperial court could deal with the rebellion in Shu with peace of mind. Once again, Kou Zhun's recital was ignored.

After Liu Xu heard Kou Zhun talk about this, he also shook his head helplessly. It seems that Li Jiqian will be like in history, and he will eventually gain a foothold in the northwest, and his own small traveler will not change anything.

The wars in the southwest and northwest of the Great Song Dynasty did not affect too many of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. The people of Qingzhou, a famous city of Haidai, are still living a stable life as usual.

Liu Xu is still familiar with the general affairs with the two masters in the state government, Cui Ye is still busy running more and more family businesses, and Wang Zeng is still studying hard in the dwarf pine garden.

During this time, Liu Xu was busy in the state government every day, but he rarely had time to meet Cui Ye Wangzeng, but he only went out to play together at the Qingming Festival.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is said that blessings are incomparable, disasters are not singular, and the spring of the five years of Chunhua in the Great Song Dynasty is destined to be an eventful spring.

The war in Shu in the southwest is still going on, and the war in Hexi in the northwest is also in full swing, and in Dengzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Jingdong East Road, which is the easternmost part of the Great Song Dynasty, there was another pirate sneak attack on Dengzhou City, which couldn't help but make some of the courtiers and officials of the Great Song Dynasty even more anxious.

Dengzhou, known as Penglai in ancient times, is also a historical city, this time was attacked by pirates into the city, the people in this thousand-year-old city have been killed and injured, and many wealthy women have been taken captive. Although the pirates were finally expelled from the city under the command of Wei Honggui, the governor of Dengzhou, the matter still shook the Great Song Dynasty.

After the matter was reported to the imperial court, Zhao Er issued an order to severely reprimand Wei Honggui, the governor of Dengzhou, and ordered Jingdong East Road to appease the Yamen to investigate the matter in detail, and put the details on the table to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could deal with the pirate attack and plundering of Dengzhou City.

Kou Zhun was also very angry at the incident of pirates attacking the state city under the rule of Jingdong Road. Kou Zhun immediately assigned Jingdong East Road Marshal Secretary Zanhua Xun Yuansheng to patrol and interview the city attack on Dengzhou, and formed an investigation team to go to Dengzhou to investigate the pirate attack on the city.

Kou Zhun knows that an open investigation may not be able to investigate the truth. When the investigation team goes to Dengzhou to investigate the pirate attack on the state capital, it will certainly be closely watched, and every move will be seen by people with a heart, and it will be very difficult to investigate the real cause and effect.

Therefore, the investigation team with Xun Yuansheng as the patrol and interview envoy was only on the surface, and what Kou Zhun really relied on to investigate the truth of this incident was a team of people sent secretly. There were only three people in this team of secret visits, and Liu Xu was the leader, and the other two were the officials of the state government, who were arranged by Kou Zhun to protect and assist Liu Xu.

Kou Zhun had a deliberate experience with Liu Xu, and sent Liu Xu to Dengzhou to secretly investigate the pirate attack on Dengzhou. Liu Xu was young and young in affairs, so Kou Zhun specially sent two good martial arts and old and serious officials to accompany him as a strategy. Kou Zhun gave Liu Xu a waist card as a counselor of the Shuai Si on Jingdong Road, and arranged for Liu Xu to interview the deputy envoy for the Dengzhou bandits. At the same time, Kou Zhun specially gave Liu Xu a warrant just in case, allowing him to mobilize a commanded army for his use when the matter was urgent. Kou Zhun, as the commander of Jingdong East Road, has the right to mobilize the Xiang army under the jurisdiction of Jingdong East Road.

However, Kou Zhun instructed Liu Xu to only investigate the matter clearly, no matter what the truth of the matter is, don't act rashly, and wait until you come back to report yourself before taking action. The governor of Dengzhou also has jurisdiction over the local army, and Kou Zhun is worried that Liu Xu is young and vigorous, and if he finds out that there is any lawlessness between Dengzhou officials and pirates, he will act rashly, so he has this advice. Although Liu Xu has his own warrants, if he wants those Xiang troops to deal with local officials, Liu Xu may not be able to move them.

Liu Xu was a little happy to go to Dengzhou. After he came to the Great Song Dynasty, he only mixed in Qingzhou, and he had never been out of Qingzhou, Liu Xu was looking forward to going to other places in the Great Song Dynasty. And this time he went to Dengzhou to investigate the truth about the pirate attack on the city, Liu Xu could do both public and private. He has always wanted to go to the seaside to investigate and see what suitable seafood can be used to cook, so that his Tianxia Fresh Restaurant can really match its name, but this time it is convenient.

Liu Xu told Cui Ye that he was going to Dengzhou to inspect seafood, and Cui Ye, as a partner, wanted to support him. Cui Ye told Liu Xu the address of Cui's store in Dengzhou, and told Liu Xu that if he needed them for something, he would just take Cui Lao to Liu Xu's jade pendant at that time. Liu Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Cui Ye say that the jade pendant that Cui Lao gave him was so precious, and at the same time, Liu Xu had some vague doubts about Cui Lao's intentions. I used to be just an ordinary chess friend of Cui Lao, but I always felt a little unsteady in my heart when I got such an important thing from him. However, Liu Xu felt that Cui Lao should have no ill will towards him, so he didn't think too much about it.

Partings are always sad, even if only temporary.

When Liu Xu told Xu Jin'er the news that he was going to Dengzhou, Xu Jin'er's eyes couldn't help but be a little wet.

Liu Xu couldn't see Xu Jin'er's tearful eyes, and immediately laughed: "Yo, when did our Miss Xu become so childlike?" Don't worry, Brother Xu, I'm just going to travel to Dengzhou, and I'll be back in the rest of the month, so I can't delay our wedding! "Liu Xu and Xu Jiner's wedding date has been set, and the sixth day of June is set as a good day for them to get married.

When Xu Jin'er heard Liu Xu talk about getting married, she couldn't help but be a little shy, and said angrily: "Who is going to marry you?" What does travel mean? Xu Jin'er, a curious baby, always can't forget to ask Liu Xu about the new terms he says from time to time.

Liu Xu said with a smile: "Travel, it's just to find an affair, touch the peach blossom luck or something!" ”

Xu Jin'er couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said angrily: "You dare?!" ”

Liu Xu smiled: "Then you won't marry me!" Alas, I'm eighteen this year and an adult. As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, my family is thin, just one of my sons, I don't hurry up to find a daughter-in-law, give me a son, how can I be worthy of my parents? ”

"Eh" Xu Jin'er was said by Liu Xu, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, annoyed and ashamed. I just joked that if I don't marry Liu Xu, it's hard to change my mind now. But if he doesn't marry Liu Xu, it seems that Liu Xu's nonsense is even a bit reasonable.

Xu Jin'er, who was speechless, couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and the way she expressed her anger was to incarnate a violent Tyrannosaurus rex and beat Liu Xu fatly. Liu Xu's martial arts are not as good as Xu Jin'er, and he has suffered countless fan punches, as for whether it hurts or not, only Liu Xu himself knows.

Liu Xu, who was beaten by fat, looked at the sky and sighed: The force is not as good as others, and you can only be bullied by others forever! If this is to become a family, the question of how to curb domestic violence must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er joked and played, which finally diluted some of Xu Jin'er's sadness about parting.

After saying goodbye to Xu Jin'er, Liu Xu embarked on the road to Dengzhou!
