For the next few days, Li Yongzhong stayed in the inn with the caravan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Chen Xianda sent someone to call him over, but he also shirked it for various reasons. Later, Chen Mingjiang came over in person, watched him here for an afternoon, and only said: "You are too busy." And he went back to his life. Since then, few people have come to the barracks, and when they come, most of them are Chen Mingjiang, sending some things for food, putting things down, and leaving in a hurry without saying a word.

Li Yongzhong is indeed very busy. Most of the guards were killed and wounded, and the caravan could not move an inch. Fortunately, Chen Xianda interceded with the grain and grass officer of the Chinese army for him, and the commander named Liu Xinwu also contributed to his efforts, so he didn't have to go to the generous military camp, and directly paid grain for salt in Bijie, which was much more convenient than before, but it was by no means light.

In addition to him, Fushun also has several families who are also going to the front of the army. Those few are not the same as the Li family, there are only a dozen guys in a convoy, and when they walk on the road this year, they are delivering food to the mountain bandits and strongmen.

When several families were sad, they heard that Li Yongzhong sent a letter back saying that the Li family's military rations did not need to be generous, so they asked Wang Huanzhi to intercede. Master Yan was happy and agreed, but the Li family wanted to take some benefits after the matter was completed. Therefore, the food from Fushun is constantly being transported to Li Yongzhong, but there is no account room around him, so he can only go on top of it himself.

When I was finally busy, before I knew it, it was the season when the tuli was blooming, and the eyes were all white and double-petaled, and there was a trace of yellow cypress orchid in the middle. The Li family's caravan was in Bijie, and it was almost a month.

Except for a few who were too badly wounded, the wounds of the rest of the guards were almost healed. Among them, Cao Jinliang can run and jump in only seven or eight days, but his injury is the fastest. However, in the later days, Li Yongzhong rarely saw him, **** was haunted, mostly in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time, I didn't know where he went.

It was almost late, Li Yongzhong finally took stock of the account books, and it was when his muscles and bones were sore, when a person suddenly popped out of the window, he was taken aback, and subconsciously poked towards the big gun next to him, but he felt empty. The man laughed: "Zhong Guan'er is too careful! "-- It's Cao Jinliang.

Li Yongzhong scolded angrily: "If you don't go up the stairs, you must climb the window!" Cao Jinliang turned over lightly, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "Come back from here, it's closer." "The window of Li Yongzhong's room faces south, and the street is below, and if you want to enter through the main entrance, you have to turn another street corner.

The two of them didn't say anything else, Cao Jinliang took out a small bag of broad beans and beef from his arms, Li Yongzhong glanced at him, reflexively went to carry a kettle and tea bowl in--in the field, according to the rules, the guards can drink less when they are not on duty, but he and Cao Jinliang are not allowed -- there is no good tea here, so he will make two bowls of tea, sit opposite each other, Li Yongzhong took the lid and scraped twice on the surface of the tea, and asked Cao Jinliang without raising his head: "What good things have happened to running to the officials and soldiers in the past few days?" ”

"Haha, look at Zhongguan'er, you have been dealing with abacus paper and ink in the town, but you didn't think you would know where I went?" Cao Jinliang said with a smile: "Although Zhongguan'er, you don't wear a shirt, you are really a talent. ”

"Don't tell naughty jokes." Li Yongzhong glanced at him--Cao Jinliang immediately coughed twice, straightened his sitting posture slightly-took two sips of tea, and said lightly: "It's my father-in-law who is looking for you?" I've always been half busy, half ...... I didn't think about it, so I didn't go to see him. Since you have come to me today, it must have been your father-in-law who told you something. ”

Cao Jinliang's eyes flashed, and he cleaned up those lazy looks, bowed his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Exactly." After a pause, he added, "Your father-in-law is not a mortal. He asked me to go here a few times, and he didn't ask anything else, only how he ate on weekdays, how he dressed, what books he read, what he said, even if there were some taboos, under the banner of elders, I could only be vague. ”

Li Yongzhong smiled lowly and said, "If you think that your father-in-law is a martial artist with a straight intestine, you must be very wrong. How can a rogue who commits a crime stand out without some skills? Can you climb to the high position of thousands of households and get back to your job? When others looked at him, they all thought that it was just Shangguan who took his ability and allowed him to this day, but they didn't know that there were fewer capable people in this official army? Why is it not someone else, but he is a person whose relatives are not from the army, who can get official blue eyes? ”

"Not bad. I went back and forth with Master Chen twice, and the next time he came to me again, he bluntly said that even though he was an elder, it was unreasonable to inquire about his son-in-law's family, and although he knew it, he had to act like this because of some other hidden feelings. Cao Jinliang smiled and said: "If you change to someone who is not knowledgeable, you have to impress him." ”

"Secrets? I don't want you to say it, but I say it to my own family, so that I will inherit the worldly office, yes or no? Li Yongzhong snorted, but saw Cao Jinliang's head on the other side shake a few times like a rattle, and said seriously: "You guess half of it, and the other half is still what I told you - it's not a world position, but a call for Zhongguan'er to join the army and join the battalion." ”

Even if he is as calm as Li Yongzhong, he was shocked by the news. He put the tea bowl on the square table in his hand, frowned and asked him, "Jin Liang, aren't you bluffing me?" First he said that he was a world job, and now he said that he was a battalion soldier, which ......" He paused slightly, and said in a more tactful tone: "What is the difference between it and a naughty smile? ”

Cao Jinliang said the same: "Zhong Guan'er doesn't know much about things in the army. This is not surprising, in these matters, unless the people in the department are in charge, even the officials in the military department cannot explain clearly. You know the worldly position, which can only be inherited by the elder in the past, and then it is more relaxed, and the concubine, branch, and nephew can also be; Master Chen also made it clear, Zhong Guan'er, after all, you are a merchant and a son-in-law, at most you can borrow your position and give up people, and this name is now more expensive than that Bai Xiang. But if you join the army, it will be different, with Master Chen taking care of him in the army, it won't take long for him to be sent down, isn't it better than giving up people? ”

"Look at you like this, are you being moved?" Li Yongzhong snorted, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such a special trip to make this trip." ”

Cao Jinliang nodded calmly and admitted, "Yes." After recuperating from these injuries, I also have some thoughts, and I was going to discuss it with Zhongguan'er. ”

Xu is remembered the splashing rain and blood on the battlefield that day, the smile on Cao Jinliang's face faded, mixed with a trace of bitterness, he put the tea bowl on the table, put his hands on his knees and looked directly at Li Yongzhong and said in a deep voice: "Our battle is too hard!" It's too miserable! The reason for this is simply because there are few of us! Zhong Guan'er, no matter how many brothers can fight, but they are all two arms and one body, that is, they form a formation, how many dozens of people can fight? Although Zhongguan'er has obtained the banner of a regimental training militia, how much can a Fushun let you raise? ”

Li Yongcheng pursed his lips tightly, and his face turned cold.

"This battle, I've thought about it, it doesn't take too much, only a hundred, and we can kill the barbarians without leaving a single piece of armor! But we have few people, so we have to rely on the official army - that is an unreliable soft egg! For their sake, how many more people will die! Cao Jinliang said hatefully: "Dragging this gang of people, no matter how great the brothers' ability is, they can't use it!" ”

"I've been watching coldly all these years, Zhong Guan'er, there are no outsiders here, I made it clear - you have great ambitions!" Li Yongzhong raised his head suddenly, squinted his eyes to look at him, his face was expressionless, but Cao Jinliang continued fearlessly: "I think it's good, this world, this world, should have been chaotic a long time ago!" It is said that now the saint is the British lord, I look at the apportionment of the day as a day, forced labor, levy, corrupt officials, corrupt officials, inferior gentry, strong and strong, not to mention anything else, the rich and smooth salt merchants, since the fifth year of the apocalypse to the present, how many are left?! I've never heard of ZTE like this! ”

"Be careful!" Li Yongzhong's eyes were fixed on Cao Jinliang's face, which made Cao Jinliang feel piercing! He slapped it on the table with a "snap" and shouted, "Jin Liang, this is not what you and I should say!" ”

"When you walk out of this door, I will never admit that I said it! But here, I'm going to make it clear! Cao Jinliang looked at Li Yongzhong without fear, he gritted his teeth, as if grinding out a word from between his teeth: "Zhong Guan'er, although you are young, you are a person with a furrow in your chest and a strategy!" If I used to stay in the Li family, just to find a place to live, now I am willing to follow you, but just by us, no matter what I want to do, I can't do it! Without him, the strength is weak! ”

He looked at Li Yongzhong without blinking, and continued to say in a deep voice: "When Taizu was reckless, he also followed Guo Zixing. Zhong Guan'er, now is a great opportunity! Only in the name of the official army can we jump out of that pattern! ”

Li Yongzhong stared at Cao Jinliang closely, and the latter stared straight at him, never dodging. After a while, he slowly exhaled a long breath and said slowly: "There are some things that can't be done; There are some things that I can't think about. Jin Liang, today you are reckless. Although he said so, he didn't refute Cao Jinliang at all. Bringing over the tea cup that had been half cold, Li Yongzhong stood up and splashed the residual tea out of the window, and stretched out his hand to Cao Jinliang to ask him to hand over his own tea cup as well.

After brewing tea again, Li Yongzhong sat down and said, "Don't talk about that." Let's talk about the current matter - what you and your father-in-law mean, but I understand. It's just that the people in our hands, after all, were recruited in the name of guards, and now we want to take them to join the army, so it's hard to talk about it, but I think there will be chaos. ”

Cao Jinliang was stunned, but he didn't think much about it here - he had already signed the deed of identity at the beginning, strictly speaking, now Li Yongzhong is leading this group of people to directly rebel, and they can only obey orders. Just as I was strange, I heard Li Yongzhong say: "I hate most in my life that some people rely on the so-called masters, officials, gentry, and rich people, and they don't look at people." I also grew up in slavery, but I don't think my own house is more valuable than other people. When the contract was first signed, it was only a guard, but there was no such thing as joining the army, and since this is the case, I will make it clear that this is a real life of licking blood from the knife edge! Take your life and get rich! (To be continued.) )
