Liu Zhouchen was pulled out of the warm quilt and felt very uncomfortable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Look at the sky, it's still early!

It was cold and windy outside, and the snow was falling.

He put on a cotton robe and still had some pajamas on his face, and came to the living room. A family member of the county guard in a soapy hat is waiting for him.

Liu Zhouchen said: "Steward Yang asked you to come to me so late, what is the matter?" ”

"The old butler asked the villain to bring you something."

As he spoke, the family took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Liu Zhouchen.

"Steward Yang has no other instructions?"

"No, he only asked the villain to send this thing over."

Liu Zhouchen's drowsiness decreased a lot all of a sudden. Steward Yang's name is Yang Zheng, and he is an old family member of King Xun's Mansion. In the early years, when Young Master Liu was alive, he had a very good relationship with Yang Zheng. Later, Young Master Liu died, and before he died, he entrusted Liu Zhouchen to take care of Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng is getting older, and his hands and feet are not good, and he can do less and less.

In the future, he will not have a good time in the Yang family. Relying on that meager salary every month, I can't support a large family at all.

Liu Zhouchen agreed!

And it did......

Although Yang Zheng is old, he has always been able to stay in the inner house and follow Yang Qing, which is himself Liu Zhouchen's secret care. Coupled with the large amount of money every month, Yang Zheng's family lives a very relaxed life. Yang Zheng's youngest grandson, relying on Liu Zhouchen's care, was able to study in the schoolhouse. This is not only because of Young Master Liu's entrustment, as he grows older, Liu Zhouchen feels the power of this party more and more. Don't look at him, he is very trusted by Yang Qing, but if there are few reliable people around him to help, it will not last long after all.

And what about Yang Zheng?

Seems to be the most suitable person.

He is old and sophisticated, and he has a lot of connections in the Xunwang Mansion. In addition, he has been following in the inner house, and this prestige is not bad. And Yang Zheng also seems to know Liu Zhouchen's thoughts, and he will not refuse Liu Zhouchen's help. However, in peacetime, everyone does not have much contact.

Secretly, when Liu Zhouchen is away, Yang Zheng will keep an eye on everything for him.

This is also an important reason why Liu Zhouchen can be by Yang Qing's side for a long time. There is a disturbance around Yang Qing, and he will know it immediately.

You help me, I help you, everyone is good.

Liu Zhouchen rewarded the man with a large amount of money and sent him away.

Back in the study, he opened the bag and dropped a black chess piece from it. The chess pieces landed on the table with an extremely crisp sound. Other than that, there were no more items. Liu Zhouchen's gaze, with the appearance of the black chess pieces, suddenly became solemn.

Yang Zheng didn't know how to read, so he couldn't exchange letters with Liu Zhouchen.

Some words cannot be conveyed through the mouths of others, so the two communicate with each other through some specific codes.

For example, this time, Yang Qing hopes to pay attention to Yang Qing's movements through Yang Zheng.

If Yang Qing is dedicated to protecting Sui, the two do not need to communicate; If Yang Qing has an objection and has dealings with thieves outside the city, then it is represented by the white chess pieces of Go; On the contrary, Yang Qing was opposed, and if there were thieves in the city, Yang Zheng would send someone to send black chess pieces.

Such a simple and clear code is only known to Liu Zhouchen and Yang Zheng.

And now, the black chess pieces appeared, which showed that Yang Qing seemed to be intent on surrendering, and communicated with the eyes and ears of the thieves in the city.

For a long time, Liu Zhouchen thought that Yang Qing could not be opposed.

But now...... Yang Qing actually wants to rebel? It was indeed beyond Liu Zhouchen's expectations.

Sitting in the study, twisting the black chess pieces, flipping them in the palm of your hand and playing with them. At the same time, I can't help but hesitate a little in my heart. Is it to spread the news? Or pretend not to know? In fact, Yang Qing is not opposed, and it does not have much impact on Liu Zhouchen.

Yang Qing is a very smart person who knows how to seek the best interests for himself.

As Yang Qing's subordinate, Liu Zhouchen doesn't need to worry about his future...... However, he promised Li Yanqing, which made Liu Zhouchen's heart waver. The general trend of the world is disturbed, and it seems to be chaotic, but it seems to be as clear as the dust has fallen again.

Li Yuan came first, and since he killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya in May, in just five months, he has already occupied Guanzhong and besieged Xijing Chang'an. Although there are still countless uncertainties in the Guanzhong region, Jincheng Xue Ju, Xiliang Li Rail, and Shuofang Liang Shidu do not seem to have surrendered to Li Yuan. But in reality? After Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, he received the full help of Longyou Li Valve.

In five months, he has surged from 30,000 people in Taiyuan to 300,000 soldiers and horses today, what is this concept?

Longyou Li Valve, Jingzhao Hao, Guan Long Shixuan, almost fell to Li Yuan in a swarm. This kind of situation, even when Yang Jian usurped Zhou, did not appear. The person to whom Tao Li Zhang refers is Li Mi! Now, it seems that something is wrong.

Maybe the person this Tao Li Zhang refers to is Li Yuan!

It's not that Li Mi didn't have a chance, but he made a wrong move and lost the whole game.

Back then, he followed Yang Xuangan to rebel, so that his family was destroyed. Li Miben is also one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty and a descendant of Li Bi. However, there was Li Mi first, and then Li Hun, who was only one of the five surnames and seven families, the Li family of Zhao County of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, and almost completely died. Li Mi relied on the power of the green forest, without the support of Shixuan, and it was indeed not an easy thing to achieve a great cause......

Congenitally, Li Mi did not belong to Li Yuan.

However, in the day after tomorrow, Li Mi lacked Li Yuan's accumulation, which also made him fall short.

You must know that the family has almost a monopoly on more than sixty percent of the readers. With these soldiers, the rebellion may not be successful; But without the help of these scholars, the rebellion would never have succeeded. Just look at the talent structure under Li Mi's account, and you can see the gap between Li and Li.

Li Xiaoji is a descendant of Li Hu of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms and the younger brother of Li Yuan.

Lee Yeon-kyung is Lee Hyo-gi's parent-child and a nominal student of Lee Hyo-gi.

Therefore, Liu Zhouchen has already made Yanqing's choice clear. Li Yanqing will not easily reveal his identity, so it is impossible for Guanzhong Li to contact Yang Qing. Except for Li Yanqing, then it is possible to contact Yang Qing and deter Yang Qing from surrendering, and only Li Mi is left.

From the moment Li Yanqing kidnapped him to Donglin Lake, Liu Zhouchen knew that he also needed to make a choice!

From Li Mi? You only need to follow Yang Qing, and everything should not be known; But if Li Yuan is followed, Liu Zhouchen must inform Li Yanqing.

I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Do I have a choice now?

"Someone!"

"Whoa!"

"Call Shaolang-kun."

Liu Zhouchen had an only son named Liu Heng, who was twenty-four years old.

This son is different from Liu Zhouchen, he was born with a fierce body and an amazing amount of food. If it weren't for Liu Zhouchen's income, he would have been eaten poor by this child. When he was a teenager, he worshipped a stranger as a teacher, and he was skilled in bows and horses, and he was good at making a one-horned bronze lance, and he immediately had the courage to be unstoppable.

It's just that this kid is naturally easy to toss, and he was a famous little bully when he was in Chang'an.

However, when he got older, this surname gradually calmed down and stopped going out to cause trouble. But he doesn't like to read, he likes to go hunting. Three years ago, when Liu Heng became a Ding, the magistrate of Wangwu County, Hedong County was vacant, and Yang Qing intended to let Liu Heng go to fill the vacancy, and he was more willing to recommend it.

Unexpectedly, that year, Liu Heng's mother, that is, Liu Zhouchen's wife, died of illness.

Liu Heng was unable to vacancy due to Ding worries, which also made Yang Qing quite a pity. In fact, Liu Zhouchen was not willing to let Liu Heng go to Hedong County.

The situation there has been unstable, and bandits have been rampant.

And once there is an accident at the border pass, Hedong will become a battlefield. In fact, Liu Zhouchen's prediction was not wrong. The war in Hedong is indeed fierce now, first Li Yuan and Qu Tutong clashed, and then Li Yuan and Yao Junsu fought, and it has not subsided. And Wangwu County, in a series of battles, has become a ruin. Liu Zhouchen is secretly glad now, fortunately Liu Heng didn't go, otherwise it would be dangerous.

"Dad, is there anything wrong with calling me so late?"

Liu Hengsheng's face is like a silver plate, and his appearance is dignified.

Walking into the house, he rubbed his eyes and looked confused.

"Hen'er, I have an important matter that I need you to do for me now.

You're twenty-four now, and staying home all day isn't a problem. Some time ago, you shouted that you were going to Gong County to join the army, but I didn't agree. Do you know why? ”

"I don't know about this!"

"Actually, if you want to vote for Li Langjun, my father doesn't object.

It's just that this is waiting for the opportunity...... Dad doesn't hide it from you, I have a lifelong friendship with Li Langjun's mentor, that is, the Li Jizhen person who was coaxed some time ago. If you want to vote for Li Langjun, as long as your father says a word, he will be able to ensure your bright future. But Dad didn't do that. ”

Liu Heng was stunned, "Dad, are you and Li Langjun world friends?" ”

"Ah......h I am a world friend with his old teacher, how come it came to the mouth of your bastard boy, and I was a lifetime shorter out of thin air? ”

Liu Zhouchen was a little annoyed and scolded: "Okay, there's nothing to say about you bastard." Anyway, here's your chance! I want you to leave the city immediately and go to Gongxian to find Li Langjun. But after meeting Li Langjun, you have to pass on a word on my behalf. Tell Li Langjun: There are thieves in the family, and you need to make a decision early...... Remember? ”

"There are thieves in the family, you need to make a decision early!"

Liu Heng muttered, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Liu Zhouchen, "Dad, you and Li Langjun ......"

"I said it, I am friends with his teacher. You just need to tell Li Langjun this sentence, and you don't need to ask anything else, just stay by his side. ”

Liu Heng glanced at Liu Zhouchen with a complicated gaze.

He stood up, his burly body, like a hill, standing in the middle of the room.

Then the boy went to prepare, and said goodbye to his father...... When the child has established a meritorious career in the future, he will come to greet his father again. ”

"Alright, let's go!"

Liu Zhouchen waved his hand, and Liu Heng turned to leave.

Sitting alone in the study, Liu Zhouchen's mood suddenly relaxed. For him, stealing life for 40 years has already earned a lot. Now he has made the right choice, and he believes that the child's future will become extraordinarily bright because of Li Yanqing.

The most important things in life have been arranged, and the rest is ......

It is to repay the Yang Mansion for his kindness!

No matter what, I will keep the wealth and glory of the prince.

He walked over to the window and pushed it open. A cold wind swept in his face, and the wind was mixed with snowflakes and fell on his face, cold!

******

It was dawn, and Li Yanqing was still marching on the main road.

Although the wind and snow have stopped, the speed of this march still cannot be increased.

No wonder he was in the snow, the snow was so strong that the snow on the road was knee-high. Don't say that a rapid march is an ordinary walk, which may consume a lot of physical strength. The 8,000 people led by Yan Qing this time can be described as the most elite men and horses under the command of the Henan Raid Ambassador.

These guys may not show tiredness when they march a hundred miles in a hurry.

But in just one night, the brave soldiers looked extremely tired......

In the distance, wolf smoke rose into the sky, as if to warn people that war was coming. The checkpoints along the way have become more and more stringent.

Li Yanqing was very happy to see that although the wolf smoke was rising, the passers-by and the people along the way did not show nervousness. It's the confidence that has been built up after one victory after another. For the people of Xingyang, one Li is invincible, but he can be a million.

"It looks like the Tiger Prison should be fairly safe."

Xue Shu urged Ma to follow and talked to Li Yanqing in a low voice.

"Hmm...... Xin Langjun is an old soldier and a spicy soldier, and his surname is calm. It may not be as flexible as the world in terms of machine change, but in terms of calmness, it is far from being comparable to the world performance.

The smoke of the wolf shows that our guess is not wrong.

Xin Langjun may be fighting with Li Reverse at this time. Luo Shixin, send an order to the three armies, and make more efforts, be sure to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass at noon. Tell everyone that the brothers in front of us are fighting a bloody battle, and if we arrive early, we will have more confidence in the agricultural work at the beginning of spring next year. ”

Don't talk to the soldiers.

Using the simplest and most straightforward words, sometimes it can stimulate the fighting spirit more than any Spring and Autumn righteousness.

For ordinary people, they plant according to the time and have no worries about food and clothing. Marrying a daughter-in-law and having a few children is far more direct than the righteousness of any country. Whoever dares to delay our food and clothing, who dares to touch our wives and children, and who dares to destroy our homes, I will fight with them!

For a moment, the speed of the team's march suddenly accelerated.

There is a fork in the road ahead, Xingyang County to the southeast, and Tiger Pass to the northeast.

Li Yanqing was about to urge the men and horses to speed up again, when suddenly there was a commotion and confusion in front of the team.

"General Qiyu, there are some people in front of you, trying to storm the outpost."

In order to facilitate the march, Li Yanqing ordered all checkpoints to prohibit the march early to facilitate the passage of the brigade. Previously, it was unimpeded all the way, but there were no obstacles. How did you get here, and someone dared to break into the checkpoint?

Li Yanqing frowned, "Big Heizi, go over and take a look."

Shixin, you continue to urge the men and horses to march, and Hugh is concerned with the trivial matters of the sentry post. ”

Luo Shixin bowed down on his horse and commanded the men and horses to continue marching. But on the other side of the mighty sea, there is no return. Li Yanqing was a little impatient, so accompanied by Xue Shui and Zu Shou, he rushed to the sentry post. And he saw that the pedestrians were scattered on both sides of the road. At the checkpoint, several soldiers with wounds sat on the porch of a wooden house by the roadside to rest, under the care of their companions.

The sentry commander hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by Li Yanqing.

Yan Qing's eyes were attracted by the two people on the road. I saw an open field, a majestic sea dismounting, dancing with a double axe, and a tall and strong man with a broad waist and a round waist were fighting together. The man, with a black net scarf on his head, was wearing soft leather armor.

A pair of black riding boots under his feet, a heavy, golden one-horned bronze lance in his palm.

The big lance, the weight should be about 200 catties, the lance is black and shiny, the one-horned bronze head is cold. The lance sank vigorously and whirring. In the hands of the big man, like a lamp grass, it flew up and down, like a dragon going out to sea, extremely fierce; With such a powerful martial art in the majestic sea, it was difficult to gain the upper hand for a while. The axes separated, slamming the door left and right, bringing up a cold glow.

The clanging sound was endless, and the two were fighting.

Li Yanqing stared for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and smiled: "This guy is a good skill!" ”

Xue Shui also nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't seen anyone who can fight so brilliantly under the big black man." I'm afraid that Pei Laohu was nothing more than that. Xingyang County has such a warrior hidden? Sure enough, it's the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Hehe, in my opinion, the big black is not a hundred and ten, and it may be difficult to gain the upper hand. ”

Li Yanqing talked to Xue Shu, but Zu Shou summoned the sentry chief.

"Who is that guy? Why do you need to break through the checkpoint? ”

The sentry chief seemed to recognize the strong man, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Qi Langjun, that guy is a famous Xingyang glutton, people call him Liu Sanlang, and he is the only son of Mr. Liu Zhouchen of the Xunwang Mansion Clerk's Office. Ping Yue likes to hunt, but he rarely causes trouble. I don't know what's going on today, so I have to go through the checkpoint. When we stopped him, he wounded some of his brothers...... Just now the male hussar rode over to talk to him, and the two of them turned their faces without knowing why, and they dismounted and started fighting. We people can't stop it! ”

Is it Liu Zhouchen's son?

Zu Shou knew that the last time Li Yanqing went to Xingyang, he had met with Liu Zhouchen.

He hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Li Yanqing's ear. Yan Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.

At this moment, only a loud sound of bells was heard.

The one-horned bronze lance in Liu Heng's hand was locked by the majestic sea double axe, one was pressed hard, and the other was struggling to be lifted. The two of them were entangled in one place for a while, constantly spinning in place, and it seemed difficult to separate. Li Yanqing frowned, raised his hand and took off the agarwood lance.

This situation is the most dangerous.

If you don't get it right, it's a lose-lose situation, which is not what Li Yanqing wants to see.

"Liu Heng, big black son, stop it, I'm Li Yanqing!"

Before the words fell, a dragon burst out of the same place. There was no sign of running, but he suddenly accelerated with his strength, and rushed to the field with Li Yanqing on his shoulders. The agarwood lance swirled in Yan Qing's hand, stabbing out like a drill, hanging a rotating afterimage, ding! It is pierced at the intersection of the one-horned bronze lance and the double axe. A top-like force poured out, which immediately made Liu Heng and Xiong Kuohai stop entanglement. The axes separated, and the two of them took a few steps back at the same time, which was the only way to stand firm.

In terms of strength, Li Yanqing cannot be compared with either of the two.

But in terms of skills, Li Yanqing has an absolute advantage. The explosive power and impact of the elephant dragon, coupled with Li Yanqing's ingenuity, just dissolved the strength of the two. But even so, the elephant dragon couldn't help but take a few steps back, and Xi Yuyu looked up to the sky and hissed, as if he was extremely angry.

This dragon among horses is proud of the heavenly surname.

The two guys in front of him were able to force it to retreat, which immediately aroused the anger of the elephant dragon.

Li Yanqing hurriedly reached out and grabbed the reins, and kept whistling from his mouth, and it took a long time to appease the elephant dragon.

At this time, Xiong Kuohai had retreated behind Li Yanqing. He also knew that when a dragon started a fire, it was wild like a mad tiger. Can he beat the elephant dragon, but can Yan Qing be willing to let him clean up the elephant dragon? Therefore, it is better to obediently hide aside, and the province will make the elephant dragon angry.

Yan Qing sat firmly on the horse, staring at Liu Heng, looking up and down.

Liu Heng looked vigilant, looked at Li Yanqing, and subconsciously clenched the one-horned bronze lance in his hand. He didn't hear Li Yanqing's shout clearly just now, but it seemed that this person was in the same group as Xiong Kuohai. And Li Yanqing's shot just now left a very deep impression on him. Liu Hengmang is a little reckless, but people are not stupid. Immediately in front of him, he is definitely a good hand at making a lance.

"Your name is Yoo Heng?"

"Exactly!"

"Your father is Liu Zhouchen?"

"yes?"

"I'm Li Yanqing, the ambassador of Henan, and the general of the Black Stone Eagle."

"You are Li Wudi?"

Liu Heng couldn't help but be taken aback and exclaimed in surprise.

His shout surprised the passers-by around him.

"This is Li Wuving, Li Langjun?"

"Sure enough, it's a talent, and it's really majestic......"

"Ha, Li Wudi is here, and the thieves outside the Tiger Prison will definitely not end well. Dare to offend me Xingyang...... Li is invincible and mighty! ”

I don't know who shouted, which immediately attracted countless people to respond.

Li Yanqing saw that the scene was a little chaotic, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Princess, Li is still in military affairs, please be extra calm."

Once the army has passed, the checkpoint will be released...... Liu Heng, take your horse, take your people, come with me. ”

He turned his horse's head and moved closer in the direction of the procession.

Liu Heng was a little dazed, but he was very obedient and led the horse, dragged the one-horned bronze lance, and followed closely behind Li Yanqing with two entourages.

The pedestrians on the road said: "Yes, don't delay Li Langjun's official business, let's wait a little longer!" ”

"Li is invincible, kill Li Rebellion!"

“……”

There was a lot of activity on both sides of the checkpoint, but it wasn't chaotic.

Li Yanqing took Liu Heng and quickly caught up with the team. Only then did he restrain his horse, looked at Liu Heng and said, "You guy, how dare you trespass on the sentry post?" This is a great crime of killing the head. If it is spread out, even if Mr. Liu comes forward, he may not be able to save your life. ”

He was not polite when he spoke, but the concern in his words was still fully expressed.

Liu Heng's heart warmed, and his good impression of Li Yanqing increased a few points. Don't look at his age, he is much older than Yanqing, but in this world, how many people dare to pose in Li Yanqing? The great fame since he became famous as a teenager sometimes makes people ignore Yanqing's age.

"Li Langjun, it was my father who asked me to come to you."

"Huh?" Li Yanqing was taken aback, thinking that something had happened to Liu Zhouchen, and hurriedly asked, "What trouble is Mr. Liu?" ”

"Trouble? Nope! ”

Liu Heng said: "My father asked me to come to you, and let me bring you a word." My father said: There are thieves in the family, and you need to make a decision early...... He also said that I will serve by your side from now on. ”

Li Yanqing suddenly realized that this was a way for Liu Zhouchen to show him his attitude.

It seems that Liu Zhouchen has made a choice!

There are thieves in the family, need to make an early decision?

Yan Qing pondered for a moment, then turned his head and smiled at Xue Shui and Zu Shou: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Xun also has a choice, let's take action too!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――
