From Yingzhou to Bianguan, and then all the way back to Youzhou, when Li Congjing and others arrived at Youzhou City, the civil and military generals went out of the city for thirty miles to greet each other, and the chariot drove the guard of honor to follow, filling the official road, and there was no end in sight at a glance, and it was roughly estimated that there were hundreds of people.

Li Congjing is not a person who pays attention to pomp, the reason why he let the civil and military officials of Youzhou come out to greet him is for Mo Li and Tao Yao. The two went to Bohai for him, and they were born and died for more than a year, and now that they have returned from the attack, Li Congjing naturally wants Youzhou to greet them like a hero.

was surrounded by civil and military officials, Mo Li's smile was indifferent, but Li Congjing could see that such treatment, whether it was Mo Li, Tao Xiaoyao, or the accompanying military intelligence officers, they were very useful. Whether it is fighting for the country, or fighting for Lu Long and Li Congjing, after paying hard work and hard work, he always wants to be recognized and respected.

Li Congjing not only wants to recognize and respect them himself, but also wants the entire Lu Long to be in awe of them, no matter what way he uses to achieve such an effect, he must let Lu Long's military and civilians remember that there are some people who pay blood and tears, and even their lives for the peace of this land and the happiness and stability of the people on this land.

Heroes should be looked up to.

This is what Li Congjing thinks.

Behind the civil and military officials who ceremoniously greeted them, there was a commanding hundred battle army soldiers, who wore armor and stood solemnly on both sides of the official road, paving the way for Mo Li and others. After the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army, it was the people of Youzhou who came to watch.

When the civil and military officials came up, Li Congjing, Mo Li and others dismounted and greeted them and greeted them. After being polite, Li Congjing asked people to bring the war horse over again, and said to Mo Li, Tao Xiaoxiao, and even An Chongrong, Zhao Hongyin and others: "You and others are all strong men, fighting for the country, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, repeatedly making meritorious deeds, raising the prestige of our country, now returning, please get on the horse first!" ”

Mo Li and Tao Yao glanced at Li Congjing, saw that he had a straight face, knew his intentions, and was not hypocritical, so he turned over and got on the horse. An Chongrong, Zhao Hongyin and others, although they have also been on the battlefield before, but after all, the scene they have experienced is small, and they have never been noticed by tens of thousands of people, especially in front of Lu Long's most powerful group of civilian and military generals, they feel even smaller, but now, they are actually waiting for everyone, and several students of the Martial Arts Academy are a little apprehensive.

But when Mo Li, Tao Yaoyao and a kind of military intelligence department soldiers got on their horses one after another, An Chongrong, Zhao Hongyin and others found that they didn't even have room for modesty, so they could only bite the bullet, step on the war horses behind everyone, follow the team, and move forward slowly.

Li Congjing stood on the side of the road, together with Lu Long's civil and military officials, to make way for them and let them go first.

When Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao left in front of Li Congjing, Shang Neng only nodded slightly, and the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department behind them, under Li Congjing's attention, all turned sideways and saluted with their chests with their fists.

When An Chongrong and Zhao Hongyin walked in front of Li Congjing, they looked at the military marshals who led them from the fierce battles and gave them the opportunity to make the world envious, and now let them enter the Yanwu Academy to practice, in order to become generals in the future, they were excited, apprehensive, nervous, and saluted, with hot eyes.

When their eyes unabashedly showed gratitude and admiration, they didn't think at all that the master of Lu Long in front of them was actually just a young man of the same age as them. Even, he is a little younger than some of them.

Li Congjing turned to the front of him, raised his arms and shouted, "The strong man triumphs, welcome the hero into the city!" ”

The officers and men of a hundred battle armies commanded saluted in unison and shouted in unison: "The war will not stop, and the fight will not stop!" A hundred battles are heroic, magnificent! ”

More than 200 soldiers of the military intelligence department in the road were excited when they heard the sound, they had shed blood in a foreign country for more than ten years, and now they had set foot on their homeland, and finally had a sense of home. In the face of these bloody comrades, more than 200 soldiers from the Military Intelligence Department returned the salute one after another, and said loudly: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty, and the military commander is mighty!" ”

Li Congjing turned over and got on his horse, took Lu Longwen and military officials, and walked to Youzhou City with the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department.

The people of Youzhou who came to watch on the side of the road all looked excited, and they looked up at these pillars of Youzhou, their eyes full of reverence.

Approaching Youzhou City, An Chongrong, Zhao Hongyin and others calmed down a little, the two were in the queue side by side, An Chongrong grinned, leaned over and whispered to Zhao Hongyin: "Old Zhao, damn it, this feeling of being a hero is really good!" ”

Outside the city of Youzhou, there are thousands of soldiers from the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong to greet each other, looking at the majestic Xiongcheng and Huanghuang border army from afar, Zhao Hongyin thoughtfully, he said to An Chongrong: "What is it to be a hero for a while, if you can always be a hero, then it is called happiness!" ”

An Chongrong's eyes widened, he glanced at Zhao Hongyin strangely, and exclaimed: "I can't see it, Lao Zhao, you have such great ambitions." Be a hero for a lifetime, do you really dare to think that heroes are so easy to do! If it weren't for Mr. Mo and Tao Tong to rescue each other, if it weren't for the military commander personally leading thousands of horsemen to greet each other, you and I would have become lonely ghosts a long time ago! ”

Zhao Hongyin's expression remained unchanged, his fists were clenched, and he said in a deep voice: "If we can grow into a hero in life and be worshiped by the world, it will not be in vain for us to be born with a male body and a seven-foot body, and walk in this world!" He glanced at An Chongrong and said: "With an army of 30,000 people, you and I can enter the Martial Arts Academy, and this time we have made meritorious contributions to the country in Liaodong, but I don't know that we will not be able to rise in the future?" If you don't have the ambition to be a hero, it will not be in vain if you are in the spotlight today, and the military commander gives way! ”

An Chongrong sighed: "A few days ago, others said that I was bold and ambitious, but after listening to your words today, I realized that you are bolder and more ambitious than me." However, I like it, Lao Zhao, let's see, you have never won me, and I will not let you have a chance to walk in front of me in the future. ”

Zhao Hongyin raised his eyebrows lightly, "We'll see!" ”

The brigade of men and horses quickly marched to the front of the thousands of soldiers waiting outside the city of Youzhou, thousands of soldiers of Baizhan and General Lu Long, exactly the same as the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army commanded before, get out of the way, stand on both sides, and let the adults and horses enter the city.

All of a sudden, Youzhou City moved.

……

Since Mo Li separated from Li Congjing in Pingzhou last year, Li Congjing went to attack Pingzhou, and Mo Li and Da Mingan and others went north, speaking of which, Mo Li has not been to Youzhou. Now that I'm in the city, everything has to start all over again. Li Congjing has already prepared a place to live for Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao, but there is a difference in treatment between the two.

Li Congjing gave Mo Li a big mansion in Youzhou City, next to the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, servants and maids are readily available, accompanied by Li Congjing, when Mo Li pushed the door in, he saw the warbler Yanyan in the courtyard, his face was a little strange in an instant, he turned his head and glared at Li Congjing, and said with a calm face: "There are too many people!" ”

Li Congjing waved his hand again and again, "Not much, not much, you are in need of someone to accompany you now, and there are not many people." ”

Mo Li blackened his face and drove Li Congjing out of the mansion. Li Congjing laughed and left.

After walking a few steps, Li Congjing was about to go back to the house, when he suddenly felt something different, and when he turned his head, he saw the "neglected" Tao Yaoyao staring at him with a murderous look, and said coldly: "Are you going to go back to the house?" ”

"Where else can you go if you don't go home? Traveling thousands of miles, people are sleepy, and it is time to rest. After Li Congjing finished speaking, he yawned.

Tao Yaoyao resisted the urge to burst out and kill, "What about my yard?" ”

Li Congjing smiled and said as a matter of course: "In my house." ”

Taoyao's face was instantly the same as Mo Li.

Seeing Tao Yaoyao's hand touch the horizontal knife on his waist, Li Congjing hurriedly waved his hand, "Listen to me, you are the commander of the Military Intelligence Department, and I am the commander of the Hundred Battles Army, yes or no?" ”

"So what?" Tao Yaoyao bit out a few words with a cold face.

Li Congjing looked natural, "As a military intelligence department, of course, although you are a well-guarded commander, and arrange your courtyard in the official office of the Jiedu envoy, it is also for the sake of the commander...... For the sake of the safety of the entire Lulong Nexus, you also know that Lulong is not peaceful now, and I have to be responsible for the safety of my colleagues' lives. ”

Tao Yaoyao took a deep breath, "Lu Long is not peaceful now?" ”

Li Congjing nodded again and again, "You just came back, and you don't know yet, in fact, Lu Long is now surging with undercurrents, and countless Khitan shadows are moving everywhere, eyeing me Lu Long's civil officials and military generals, and they have great intentions!" This is not my words, you should believe in my character. ”

"Character?" Tao Yao sneered.

Li Congjing stood up solemnly, his face was also calm, he met Tao Xiaoyao's murderous gaze, did not avoid it at all, and said firmly: "Character! ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, and their eyes exchanged countless times.

After a while, Tao Xiaoyao moved his footsteps, walked past Li Congjing, and said lightly: "Then let's make the mansion of the festival!" ”

Li Congjing raised his eyebrows and muttered in a low voice: "Women are hypocritical, obviously they are very willing in their hearts, and they always have to put on a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, thinking that this can mean something?" ”

On the same day, Li Congjing ordered people to prepare a banquet in the mansion, and washed the dust for Mo Li, Tao Yaoyao and more than 200 sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department that day and night, and also celebrated their achievements. Youzhou civil officials and military generals all came to cheer.

At the banquet that night, Li Congjing announced the appointment of Mo Li, and said goodbye to Youzhou.

When Mo Li came to the banquet, his face was not very good, and he didn't know what happened in the mansion just now, which made Li Congjing a little puzzled, he thought that the beauties he chose for Mo Li were all thoughtful, all of them were extraordinary, and they all had different styles, it stands to reason that it is enough to satisfy a young and vigorous teenager. Looking at Mo Li's strange face, Li Congjing couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Mo left Bohai Country for a trip, he was used to exotic customs, and he didn't like the Tang Dynasty woman?

It was also during this banquet that Mo Li met Wang Pu for the first time.

Although Mo Li later came to Youzhou, the time he followed Li Congjing, if you extrapolate forward, I am afraid that Lu Long can only be compared with Meng Ping and Zhang Ziyun, because although Wang Pu is now promoted by Li Congjing, he is in the center, and he holds the power to rectify Lu Long's rule, but in front of Mo Li, he is very humble and takes the initiative to come to toast.

Du Qianshu and Mo Li can be regarded as old acquaintances, the two have already met when they were in the West Building, and they are both talented people, and there are many similarities. This time, Du Qianshu and Wang Pu came together and toasted to Mo Li.

Mo Li, whose face was not very good-looking, sank a little more after seeing Wang Pu. He looked at Du Qianshu, then at Wang Pu, drank the wine in the cup, and thought depressedly in his heart, "Fuck, another one to grab a job!" ”
