Chapter 9: The Errand of Death

"Enxiang, what the imperial court means is that the treasury is empty, and you want the state capitals to send grain to solve the urgent need for food shortage in Taiyuan?" In the Cangzhou Mansion, Hu Zhongxing said anxiously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Not bad. It's just that although it is easy to raise grain and grass, you can escort the person who transports grain and grass. Li Gang frowned and looked at Wang Yan and Zhang Wei beside him. Half a day ago, the envoy reported that in order to solve the urgent need for food in Taiyuan, the imperial court collected grain from various prefectures and escorted it to Taiyuan. Although it is not difficult to transport grain, but the siege of Cangzhou has just been lifted, the golden soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion are eyeing the tiger, and going out of the city at this time is tantamount to entering the tiger's mouth with sheep, who will be stupid enough to be ordered to go out of the city at this time to escort grain and grass, if you go out of the city, you must be surrounded by the cavalry of the gold thief, then you will not find your own death. Who would be stupid enough to put themselves in danger, but the holy order is difficult to do, and food must be delivered, otherwise it will be a crime of resisting the decree.

Wang Yan saw Li Gang looking at him, and hurriedly confessed: "Lord Li doesn't know, this time the last general came to the rescue was ordered by the commander of the sect, and now that the siege of Cangzhou has been lifted, the general will return with troops to listen to the commander of the sect at the end of the day..." ”

Wang Yan's intention was obviously to tell Li Gang, I am Zong Ze's person, if you want to mobilize me, you have to give Zong Ze's order, otherwise, I will not do such a dangerous thing, and there is no profit.

Zhang Wei was even more direct, and came up with a sentence that the city had just retreated from the enemy, and he was in urgent need of protection, and all kinds of city defense matters needed to be taken care of by himself. Therefore, at this time, it is not allowed to let yourself go out of the city to escort grain and grass.

"Hmph, since both of them have important things to do, the old man will personally escort the grain and grass to support Taiyuan."

Everyone hurriedly dissuaded, Li Gang said coldly, then you can recommend someone to the old man who can escort grain and grass.

"Enxiang, there is a candidate, there is one student, it is very suitable." Hu Zhongxing was busy.

"Oh, who?" Li Gang said.

"It's Liu Ping, who killed the commander of the Jin army." Hu Zhongxing said.

"Liu Ping? But this person is still young, can he take on this position?" Li Gang wondered.

"Li Xiang, I see that Liu Ping dared to scold the enemy general on the top of the city tower that day, and beheaded the gold thief commander, such a brave and resourceful person is a talent for reuse." Zhang Wei hurriedly added a fire.

"Yes, this son has made such a great achievement, but he has never asked for a reward, which shows that this person is a loyal man, and he is responsible for transporting grain, so he can keep grain and grass worry-free." Wang Yan also came back to his senses and hurriedly opened his mouth to say nonsense. If Comrade Liu Ping heard these words at this time, he would definitely have to scold this group of bastards to death, because he couldn't find himself in good deeds, so he would be sent to death to let himself go.

"However, this person's position is too low, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public."

"My lord, Liu Ping deserves a big award for this great achievement, and his position should be promoted." Wang Yan said.

"Well, then, let Liu Ping come here, and I will personally hand over this matter to him." Li Gang said helplessly, his heart is a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Finally had a substitute for the dead ghost, Hu Zhongxing saw that Li Gang agreed, and hurriedly ordered people to go to find Liu Ping to come to the mansion.

"I tell you, no one should owe you anything, you love to eat this meal or not, starve to death and pull it down. I've never seen someone as hard as you to serve. ”

Liu Ping angrily shouted at a beautiful woman sitting in the room. Xiaodouzi next to him just secretly pulled Liu Ping's hand and signaled him not to be angry at the woman.

The woman sat on her chair like a wooden sculpture, motionless. For more than 2 days, no water has entered. Just stunned in a daze. This woman was rescued by Liu Ping from the trafficker Da Lang

The woman named Jin Zhi.

Last time, Liu Ping took someone to thoroughly inspect the Xu family oil mill, and found more than 2,000 taels of silver, that Zhou Shen handed over 1,000 taels of silver, and the rest was divided by more than a dozen military men. They thanked Liu Ping one after another, and said polite words about eating and drinking another day. Liu Ping said secretly, this corrupt one is too blatant. But it was Yue Fei and a few people, who were the heroes of the elimination of human traffickers this time, but each person only got a dozen taels of silver, Liu Ping was afraid that Yue Fei and a few people would be dissatisfied, so he had to give his three hundred taels to Yue Fei and a few people, Yue Fei and a few people were immediately greatly moved, and they didn't want to say anything, so to say, Liu Ping left fifty taels for himself, and the rest was distributed to Yue Fei and a few people. The dozens of rescued women were released, and each of them was repatriated to their hometowns, but the woman named Jin Zhi had nowhere to go, so Liu Ping had to take her to the inn where Xiaodouzi lived. Unexpectedly, this woman didn't eat tea and rice. I was hungry for two days in a row.

"Do you want to starve yourself to death so that you can relieve your guilt about your Uncle Li. I sue you, you're a stupid woman, do you have water in your brain??? Liu Ping, who had finished saying good things, shouted at her with his eyes open. "If you die, what face do you have to see your Uncle Li, you forgot that your Uncle Li said to let you live well, but now you are going to die of hunger strike, are you right about the people who died?!!!"

Are you right about the dead? In a word, she was shocked in her heart, and there was a hint of gleam in her dull eyes. He muttered: "I can't die, I have to take revenge, revenge." He actually picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and ate it himself.

"Damn, it's a lot of work." Liu Ping said speechlessly.

"Brother Ping, I know that you are a good person, you are a knife mouth, a tofu heart, haha." The little bean next to him stuck out his tongue mischievously.

"My name is Fang Jinzhi. What I owe to you will be repaid to you. After the woman finished eating, she stopped the dishes and chopsticks and said to Liu Ping. Liu Ping shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

"Captain Liu, Master Li is invited." A small official came in and said.

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Liu Ping grimaced at Xiaodouzi and said, "Wait for me honestly." I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

Liu Ping tidied up his clothes. The little official who followed went to the yamen of Cangzhou Mansion. When I arrived at Li Gang, I saw Li Gang and Wang Yan, Zhang Wei, Hu Zhongxing and others together. Li Gang asked with a serious face.

"I have reported the Cangzhou war to the imperial court, the saint is happy. Commend the meritorious ministers, Liu Ping listened to the seal, the Cangzhou captain was brave, and the enemy general was meritorious in the battle. Promoted to guerrilla general, to the German general.

Wang Yan, Zhang Wei and others were stunned for a moment, and when they came up, they sealed a general from the fifth grade, a guerrilla general? This is a three-level jump in a row, from a nine-grade lieutenant directly to a general from the fifth grade, he has worked hard for decades, but he is just a five-grade general Huaiyuan, I didn't expect this kid to carp and jump the dragon gate all of a sudden, but thinking that this is a position to die, my heart is relieved.

Liu Ping was stunned suddenly, and he became a general all of a sudden? So suddenly? Zhang Wei next to him saw Liu Ping stunned and hurriedly said: "From the fifth grade of the Guide Lang general, Liu Ping, thank you soon." ”

"Liu Ping thanked Lord Li, how can he win the love of all the adults, and he will repay the kindness of the king."

"Okay, what a liver and brain, now, the gold thief is powerful, the situation is critical, Taiyuan is besieged, and grain and grass are urgently needed, Liu Ping, I promise you five hundred men and horses, carry grain and grass weapons and baggage, and gallop to help Taiyuan, you don't let the old decay down." Li Gang said with a smile.

"I have never done such a heavy responsibility, I am afraid that I will fail to live up to the trust of your lords and delay the major military affairs, then Liu Ping will die a hundred deaths." Liu Ping hurriedly excused himself.

"Li Lang will be young and promising, brave and strategic, and he will definitely be able to do a good job of escorting, and he will not disappoint Li Xiang's hard work." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Yes, this is the result of the unanimous approval of all the adults, Li Lang will not shirk it." Wang Yan said with a smile.

Liu Ping looked at the "ardent anticipation" eyes of the people around him, and scolded in his heart: "Isn't this a cheating father?" This group of bastards, is this unclear plan for Lao Tzu to be sent to death? Now go out of the city to Taiyuan? Isn't it a live target for Jin Bing? But seeing the "eager eyes" of everyone, I am afraid that if I don't agree, I will have to be dealt with now.

"Humble duty, humble duty, do your best, and do not disappoint your lords." Liu Ping replied stiffly, thinking in his heart that if the situation was not right, Lao Tzu would immediately run away with Xiaodouzi. Let Lao Tzu be a substitute for the dead, there is no door.

"Then Li Lang will go back to rest early today, and tomorrow he will go to the barracks to take care of the grain and grass transported, and then select some suitable soldiers by himself. Let's go the day after tomorrow. Li Gang said.

"Retire from your duties." Liu Ping retreated and went back to the inn. Seeing that Yue Fei and the others were waiting for him in the inn, it turned out that in a few days, Wang Yan would return to Zong Ze's headquarters with his troops. So I came to say goodbye to Liu Ping first, and the man met and parted with wine, and set up a table of wine banquet. Hearing that Liu Ping had become a general from the fifth grade, Yue Fei and several people were taken aback, and congratulated one after another, listening carefully to Liu Pingyi, it turned out to be a drudgery of nine deaths and a lifetime, and Niu Gao scolded angrily: "These big turbans, they are not things, good things can't think of our brothers, but the matter of sending them to death is not ambiguous." It's really annoying old cow, big brother, it's okay if this bird doesn't go on an errand. ”

"Hey, brother, I have been instructed from above, I have to go, the official level crushes people to death, not to mention a group of adults with prominent status. Don't worry about me, we are all fighting in the army, and we are afraid of these things, people will die in the sky, and if we don't die, we will celebrate the New Year. Liu Ping said.

"Brother is really a bold man, not afraid of life and death, when you arrive at the barracks tomorrow, you can choose a few of our brothers to accompany you." Yue Fei said, "I must ensure that my brother is thorough." ”

Tang Huai and Zhang Xian also responded in unison.

"Yes, the eldest brother doesn't know, our brothers are also very angry under that Wang Yan, originally Brother Yue was also a captain of the school, but because of the disposal of a soldier who made a mistake, I didn't expect that the soldier to be Wang Yan's distant nephew, so Wang Yan found a reason to demote Brother Yue Fei to a brave warrior of the cavalry guard." Niu Gao said.

"Oh, and so on? Brother, I have been wronged. Liu Ping comforted.

"Brother's words, my brother is deeply comforted, tomorrow my brother will choose to fly with him, and Fei will definitely protect my brother." Yue Fei said sincerely.

"Okay, don't ask to be born in the same year and month, but to die in the same year and month!"

After a heavy drink, Liu Ping returned to the inn, and Xiaodouzi had already fallen asleep.

The next day, Liu Ping arrived at the barracks early, changed into a delicate and brand-new mountain armor, and hung a brand-new saber at his waist. told Wang Yan that he wanted Yue Fei and others, Wang Yan readily agreed, anyway, he was tired of Yue Fei and a few people in his heart, and now let them risk their deaths, of course he was 10,000 happy in his heart. Yue Fei and the others were overjoyed when they heard this. A captain accompanied Liu Ping to inspect dozens of truckloads of grain and grass to be transported, only to see a group of people gathered in front of an errand officer as if begging for something. Liu Ping stepped closer.

"Master Jun, if you go to Taiyuan, half a dollar per person is too little, the family is full of people with families, and you have to support your family, now the war is in chaos, Master Jun, you can do it." A pockmarked man said with a smile.

"Giving you half a piece of money is already a great reward for the adults above, don't be ashamed." The officer said with cross-eyes.

"Give each of these people two pieces of money." A voice sounded, and as soon as the messenger turned around, he saw Liu Ping coming, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I have seen General Liu, everything is arranged according to General Liu." ”

"Are you Brother Liu Ping?" The pock-faced man asked timidly.

"Brother Wang Mazi, what's the matter? I changed my clothes and you don't recognize me? Ha ha. Liu Ping said. It turned out that the pock-faced man was none other than Wang Mazi in the city.

"I recognize, I recognize, it's just, brother, no, it's the adults who changed your clothes, and you can't recognize this, this, this." Wang Mazi stammered.

Liu Ping patted Wang Mazi on the shoulder and turned to the errand and said, "Don't embarrass these honest people." "Say what and leave.

"Don't worry, the adults must take care of the small ones." The officer assured.

"Brother Mazi, do you know that general?" A young man asked Wang Mazi quietly.

Seeing that the rest of the people were looking at him with admiration and envy, Wang Mazi looked proud, his heart was very happy, and he stroked his hands and said deeply: "Of course, it is said that on the day of the city, the gold thief attacked, and my Wang Mazi and the young General Liu fought with the gold thief in the city for 300 rounds without winning or losing, and the gold thief lost his armor and ran ...... with his head in his hands." ”
