Beside him, Shang Lao Liu and Shunzi were already asleep, snoring rhythmically, Li Yuanqing lay beside the two of them, looking up at a glimmer of quiet moonlight at the entrance of the cave, but he was thinking a lot in his heart.
Since his rebirth, although it has been difficult and dangerous, because he understands the general trend of history, Li Yuanqing always feels that the big rhythm has always been in his own hands, but through the matter of Shunzi, Li Yuanqing suddenly found that many things are actually very immature.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but think of Mao Wenlong's words before leaving, 'Only by living can there be hope.' ’
Before this, Li Yuanqing had always thought that as long as he lived, there must be hope, but now, Li Yuanqing understands that not only must he live well, but the people around him should also live well.
If the war fails, as long as someone is there, you can fight back, but ~~, if all the relatives around you are dead, how can you talk about a comeback?
In this regard, although he has been a human being in two lives, he is a businessman after all, and his vision is limited after all, and compared with a hero like Mao Wenlong, it is still far behind.
At this time, Shang Lao Liu returned to his heart, and Shunzi was also found, with nearly 10,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand, and most of the tasks that came out this time were basically completed.
Shenyang has been firmly occupied by the Houjin army, even if it has spent great effort and taken root here, but in terms of the overall situation, I am afraid that this will not have much effect, because the Ming army now has no strength at all and counterattacked Shenyang City.
In fact, if you want to counterattack Shenyang City, it is not too difficult, you only need to defeat the main force of the old slave's Eight Banners in the field, but in this state, looking at the world, I am afraid, no one can do it yet.
Instead of spending a lot of time, energy, and even life doing this thankless task, it is better to do something more meaningful.
The situation is stronger than the man.
At this time, since the skills are inferior to others, it must be admitted.
Only when you really understand the gap between the two sides will you have a chance to get it back in the future.
…………
Li Yuanqing slept until noon, and then woke up from the chaos, Shang Lao Liu and Shunzi were basking in the sun at a ray of sunlight by the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that Li Yuanqing had woken up, Shang Lao Liu smiled and said, "Yuanqing, what are the arrangements for today?" ”
Li Yuanqing rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and said with a smile: "There is no arrangement today, the biggest arrangement is to go to the largest restaurant in Shenyang City and let Shunzi have a good meal." ”
Junko couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Brother, this, isn't this okay?" Let's save a little. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Shunzi, don't worry about this, just wait." ”
After resting for a while, Li Yuanqing asked Shang Lao Liu to sneak out of the cave and buy a few clothes for Shunzi, after all, Shunzi is now dressed like a flower, and going to the restaurant like this is really too eye-catching.
Shang Lao Liu came back soon, Shunzi changed into new clothes, washed his face again, and suddenly felt a lot more energetic.
Shang Lao Liu said: "Yuanqing, Shenyang City is very chaotic now, and the original restaurants have closed down a lot. Not far from here, there is a Hongyan Tower, which is now an industry under the name of the owner of the White Flag, we can go there. ”
Li Yuanqing understood what Shang Lao Liu meant, at such a time, it was safer to go to a restaurant opened by the Jurchens.
"Okay. Pack up and let's go now. ”
The three of them packed up and climbed out of the hole one by one to the street.
Shenyang City has been in the hands of the old slave for more than a month, and all kinds of counterattack forces have basically been cleared by the old slave, and the security defense during the day is no longer as tight as at night.
Li Yuanqing and the three of them didn't take much trouble to come to Hongyan Tower, which is located on the bustling street in the east of the city.
Before this, Li Yuanqing had also heard of the name of Hongyan Tower, but unfortunately, at that time, Li Yuanqing and Shunzi were pure poor hanging silk, just look at the door, where do you dare to enter this kind of big restaurant?
But now, with a lot of silver tickets in hand, all this is no longer a problem.
At this time, it was the afternoon, there were not many guests in the restaurant, after all, it was the land of the Houjin Army, Li Yuanqing and the three of them did not dare to swagger, so they called a small private room on the second floor, ordered a lot of meat dishes, and ordered a few jars of good wine, and the three of them ate and drank.
Junko has grown so big, she has never seen so much meat, and she has never eaten so much deliciousness, and she can't wait to swallow her tongue in her stomach.
Li Yuanqing poured wine for Shunzi and said with a smile: "Shunzi, eat slowly." No one is robbing you. ”
Junko agreed, but her hands kept stuffing all kinds of big meat into her mouth.
Shang Lao Liu also felt a little drunk, but his eyes were still clear, and he asked in a low voice, "Yuanqing, what are your plans next?" ”
Li Yuanqing took a sip of wine lightly and looked at the street outside the window, "Brother Shang, according to the appearance of Shenyang City, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything if I stay here." I thought about it, and tonight, I will leave Shenyang City and return to Guangning. I hope you can come with me and pick up the girl. ”
Shang Lao Liu nodded, "Yuanqing, this is the best." Girl, I'm no longer worried about Shenyang City. It's better for us to leave this place as soon as possible. ”
Shunzi also ate almost at this time, burped, and said to Li Yuanqing: "By the way, brother, what are you doing in Guangning City now?" How did you make so much money? ”
Shang Lao Liu also always wanted to know this question, but Li Yuanqing didn't say it, and he didn't ask it, and when he heard Shunzi mention it, he also looked at Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing didn't intend to hide it from the two of them, "I have done some business in Guangning City now, but I am still a small flag officer under Mao Wenlong, a guerrilla in Guangning." This time I came to Shenyang, in fact, on the orders of General Mao, but now, the task has been completed. ”
Li Yuanqing said, looked at the two of them, and said: "When I go back this time, General Mao should not hesitate to reward me, you two, do you want to do it with me?" ”
Li Yuanqing is the backbone of Shunzi, although he was 'sold' by Li Yuanqing once, but Shunzi still didn't have the slightest consciousness, and said busily: "Brother~, you are all a small flag official." That's great. In the future, I will follow you, and I will never have to be bullied again. In the future, I will definitely practice martial arts well. Whoever dares to bully us, I will kill his whole family. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, and looked at Shunzi with relief, is it a cronie who knows the roots, and he is his brother-in-law, if he doesn't help himself, who will help him?
Shang Lao Liu looked at Li Yuanqing and thought for a moment, and then said: "Yuanqing, I have never had a good impression of a place like the army. However, if you want your eldest brother to help, I don't have a second word. ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, "To be able to get Brother Shang to help me, it's really heaven to help me." General Mao is the dragon and phoenix among people, very different from other generals, let's follow him, we won't suffer. Here, let's have a drink. ”
The three of them were drinking happily, and at this time, Xiao Er's courteous voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master Horse, be careful." This way, please, this way, please. ”
The faces of the three of them changed at the same time, and Li Yuanqing made a silent gesture, signaling Shang Lao Liu and Shunzi not to make a sound.
After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer, and he came to the next room, and a calm middle-aged man said: "Xiao Er, serve good wine, serve good food, and serve your best to the master." ”
"Yes, yes. Wait a minute, the little one will be prepared for you by the kitchen. ”
"Hmm." The middle-aged male voice agreed, and there was no movement.
Li Yuanqing and the three couldn't help but look at each other.
Horse Lord? Who will this be?
However, listening to this person's speech, it is completely like a Han accent, not as jerky as a Tartar.
Shang Lao Liu also reacted at this time, and whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, it may be Fushun's concubine Li Yongfang." ”
Li Yuanqing also guessed this person, couldn't help nodding, and said in a low voice: "He wants to treat here?" Who will he invite? ”
Shang Lao Liu said: "With the identity of this dog traitor, the guest is either rich or expensive after all, maybe it is which king and grandson Baylor." Yuanqing, we have already eaten, this place is really not a place to stay for a long time. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Hmm." The gates are not yet closed. Brother Shang, let's pick up the girl first and go back to Guangning directly. ”
Li Yuanqing asked Shang Lao Liu to beckon Xiao Er to settle the account and prepare to leave, but as soon as he walked to the staircase, he saw a middle-aged man in an off-white brocade robe below, escorted by more than a dozen entourages, walking towards the stairs.
The middle-aged man is very fat, but his shoulders are broad and thick, which is obviously caused by the perennial drawing of the bow, and he is not fat, but a hint of wealth and obesity in his strength.
What made Li Yuanqing even more shocked was that this guy's robe was inlaid with gold edges, and there was no doubt that this must be which king and grandson Baylor.
The middle-aged man also saw Li Yuanqing and the others at this time, and couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.
There was his entourage next to him who couldn't help but shout, "Where did the turtle eggs come from?" Don't hurry up and make way for Lord Belle. ”
"Yes. Be. Li Yuanqing and the three of them dared to slack off, hurriedly took a few steps back, groveled, and waited for this Belle Lord to come up first.
At this time, Li Yongfang, the Fushun concubine inside, also heard the movement, hurriedly greeted him, and laughed: "Eighth master, you came so early? The minions thought you would have to wait a little longer. ”
Baylor, who was called the eighth master, smiled: "Donkey, if you are so polite, then you will be divided." Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've sat down for a drink. ”
Li Yongfang hurriedly smiled: "Yes." It's been a few months, right? Eighth Master, come, please. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly invited the eighth master to the private room next door.
When the two masters entered, their minions, numbering more than twenty people, stood at the door with a pestle on their toes like a pole for a guard of honor.
A man who looked like a slave leader shouted angrily at Li Yuanqing and the others: "How many of you? What are you doing here? Do you want to be disadvantageous to the eighth master and the concubine? Someone's coming. Arrest them for me. ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "This master, the little ones, are all law-abiding merchants. I really didn't know that Lord Belle and Master Horse were also coming here for dinner, if they had known, the little ones would never dare to disturb the Yaxing of the two masters. Please also ask your lord not to remember the villain, just let us go if we are a fart. ”
Li Yuanqing said, hurriedly trembling and groping, took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his arms, and handed it to the slave with a trembling hand.
When this slave saw that it was fifty taels, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't seem to want to let go of Li Yuanqing and the others, and his eyes shot out a more greedy cold, as if he wanted to kill Li Yuanqing and the others.
Li Yuanqing didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of bed bug when he had a meal today, intentionally or unintentionally, his hand was ready to dig out the dagger, if he really couldn't be good, it could only be a fight to the death.
After thinking about it, Li Yuanqing had already begun to look at the surrounding environment, ready to find the nearest escape place.
Shang Lao Liu and Shunzi also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and they were extremely nervous.
But the slave was just about to speak, but the gentle voice of the eighth master came from inside, "Chang Feng, everyone has given you silver, don't make trouble, take the guards to eat well." Remember, don't drink too much. ”
This is called Chang Feng's minions can't help but be overjoyed, "Schebel Ye Ende." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yuanqing and the three of them viciously, "Boy, if you are lucky today, don't get out of here." ”
Li Yuanqing instantly took off his guard, and hurriedly groveled: "Yes." Be. ”
