The ninth day of April is destined to be a long day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the morning, there is a smell of mud and grass wafting in the air, but it is not fresh and thorough after the rain, but dull and fishy, indicating that there will be rain, which belongs to the smell of spring that makes people feel weak and lazy. The sky above was still a clear blue, but as far as the eye could see, the faintly rolling lead gray clouds in the sky indicated that a rain would arrive at the latest in the evening.

The mess in the morning was finally cleaned up. The iron-making shaft furnace under construction suddenly collapsed, crushing several craftsmen who were caught off guard in the soil and stones, and the head craftsman in charge, Zhu Laoqi, almost fainted on the spot, and it was a busy mess, but fortunately, the escort team was Cao Jinliang who came over, first pinched Zhu Laoqi, and when he woke up, the two of them were responsible for saving people, and at the same time, they sent people to chase Li Yongzhong.

Fortunately, the shaft furnace was not built very high, and the three craftsmen who were buried were quickly dug up, and because of the short time, except for one of the stones that broke his head and bled out, the other two were only slightly bruised, which can be described as a great luck in misfortune. Interestingly, these three blacksmiths, who were both unfortunate and lucky, had the demeanor of later generations of technical maniacs, and as soon as they recovered, they came together again, and you discussed the causes of the collapse and the improvement of them sentence by sentence.

Li Yongzhong stood outside the straw hut where the craftsmen were resting and listened for a long time, laughing and shaking his head and walking away. He used to be very familiar with this kind of scene, but he hadn't seen it for a long time since he came to this era. Just as he was talking to He Tai who was following him with a relaxed expression, Cao Jinliang hurriedly walked with two good-faced men with a heavy face, walked to Li Yongzhong's side, hugged his fists and bowed and said, "Zhong Guan'er, something happened on Chen's road." ”

He lowered his voice very low, and spoke quickly, Li Yongzhong only heard the word Chen for a while, and contacted the two men with anxious faces, Li Yongzhong immediately made a decision, and instructed He Taidao: "Find a room where no one is around, go in and talk about it!" ”

He Tai was clever and not verbose when he saw this, and immediately took a few people to a nearby room where the craftsmen rested, and it seemed that the people were haggard, and their lips were dry, and they carried a pot full of cold water, and put two sea bowls in it, and then they retreated by themselves, drove the nearby idlers away, and personally guarded the door.

The person who came poured two large bowls of water in one go, and then gasped and told the news that Chen's mother and daughter were besieged by mountain bandits. "Chen sent the general order villain and others to the Li family's aunt, the thieves are cunning and vicious, please ask the uncle to go to Zhao Huazhen to bring the archers of the inspection department to the rescue! The villain and the others are the pro-soldiers of thousands of households, and the mountain bandits can't bargain for a while, as long as the reinforcements arrive, the thieves will retreat on their own! ”

Li Yongzhong's expression was calm, he nodded slightly, and said, "The two of you have worked hard all the way, wait here, and I will personally bring someone to go with you in a while!" ”

The older one who had always been dignified, was taken aback when he heard this, looked at his companion, turned his head and asked carefully, "Bring someone...... Doesn't my uncle plan to go to Zhaohua Town to ask for reinforcements? ”

Without waiting for Li Yongzhong to answer, Cao Jinliang had already laughed out loud, and said that the inspection department showed disdain: "Those gang of archers, even ordinary thieves can't hold it, where can they have the courage to fight with mountain bandits!" My family has raised a good number of people, and we don't need those waste snacks, we can take the thieves who don't know how thick the sky is by ourselves! ”

Although the two pro-soldiers still had doubts, seeing that Cao Jinliang was sure, they couldn't help but put aside their suspicions for the time being, and thought: "It is common for a salt household with such a net worth as my uncle to raise dozens of minions. I don't know if they are going into battle to kill, as long as they make a big fanfare, the mountain bandits have already been killed, I am afraid that when they see someone coming to help, they will run away first! ”

Li Yongzhong took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice with a cold face: "Cao Jinliang! You and He Tai ordered fifty guards, brought all the equipment, gathered in the playground, everyone should bring guns and armor, and ten others, bring firearms! Only then did he show a look of extreme anger on his face, "I want to see where the bandits have the idea to hit me on the head!" ”

Ordered, his face softened slightly, and he nodded slightly to the two people who reported the news: "Two, I will straighten out the guards, and you two will lead the way to relieve the siege." Thinking about it, my father-in-law's soldiers are all strong and heroic men, and the mountain bandits are just some local chickens and dogs, and my mother-in-law and others will be safe! ”

When the messenger went down with Cao Jinliang, Li Yongzhong called He Tai who was guarding the door in, his face was terrible, his back molars were creaking, and his eyes were cold, He Tai saw him like this, he didn't dare to say anything else, only hugged his fists and bowed, and waited for a short half a moment before he heard Li Yongzhong's voice suddenly say: "Who recruited this guy and the bandits, you and I must know it." After we set off, you gather the rest of the people and find out Li Yongbo and his good uncle for me!" They just hid in the Yali of Fushun County, and you have to dig three feet into the ground for me! ”

He Tai hurriedly responded yes, he has always been careful, and asked one more question: "In this blue sky and daylight, let's take people to get people for no reason, after all, it's not a trivial matter......"

"Don't worry about it yet!" Li Yongzhong snorted, "Even if you are cheating or robbing, as soon as you understand the matter over there, I will rush back!" The first thing I do when I come back is to see if the two uncles and nephews are there! He made up his mind that he must settle his brother's grievances and solve Liu Sankui, the scourge hidden in the shadows, by the way! Li Yongzhong endured it for a long time, originally thinking about looking at Li Qi's face, and didn't want to embarrass Li Yongbo, but he couldn't fill it, so he actually colluded with outsiders to plan to kill him for money!

Li Yongzhong sneered: "Before, I saw in front of my sister-in-law and my nephew, I didn't do anything perfectly, but he wanted to be in front of me, it's really good, so majestic!" I actually found bandits as helpers! He thought to himself that he was not sorry for this cheap big brother, and he hated Li Yongbo's behavior of eating inside and out, so he didn't plan to endure it anymore, "Since he dares to be the first year of junior high school, then I am not afraid to be fifteen!" ”

When He Tai heard this, he lowered his head and responded in a short and powerful voice: "Yes!" ”

Cao Jinliang deliberately raised his voice outside the door, "Zhong Guan'er, fifty people are finished, and they can set off at any time!" Before the words fell, he saw Li Yongzhong pushing the door and striding out, his face was full of anger and murderous intent, and he didn't say much anymore, he took the reins of the mount handed over by Wutong, turned over the horse, and when he was about to leave, he turned his head and shouted at He Tai, who came out later: "You remember my words, do it!" After saying that, ignore him, hit the horse first, the sound of hooves, and gallop towards the playground!

Not to mention He Tai, Li Yongzhong rushed to the playground, did not dismount, grabbed the reins and turned around in place twice, the Dian horse stood still, Li Yongzhong stepped on the stirrup, and stood up from the back of the Dian horse in a breath. He looked around the playground, and fifty men who practiced day and night, named Jiading, were really elite soldiers! Now they are standing horizontally and vertically like a knife and axe, and there is no other sound in the playground except for occasional coughing and breathing!

He is eager to save people's hearts, all the things that have been covered up in the past are all wanted, everyone is bright with swords and guns, wearing a black folded brimmed hat, short arrow sleeves, and wearing a piece of wrought iron cuirass stamped out some time ago in the half-arm armor, the two pro-soldiers who reported the news couldn't help muttering in their hearts, although the salt merchants were extravagant, but looking at the equipment of this Ding, it was more heroic than the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!

Li Yongzhong was too lazy to say, and said concisely: "A thief has touched Fushun!" It depends on whether our local snake can fight the dragon that crosses the river! Cao Jinliang! If one person falls behind today, he will beat you with ten boards, and if ten people fall behind, he will beat you with a hundred boards! Are you convinced! ”

Cao Jinliang raised his head and hugged his fists in a loud voice: "Serve!" ”

"Kill the bandits, and I'll invite everyone to drink when they come back! There's a reward for everyone! ”

The guards shouted violently: "Wait for Zhongguan'er's reward!" ”

The voice is sonorous and powerful, and it really wants to break the sky! Li Yongzhong smiled with satisfaction, then retracted his expression, clamped the horse's belly, and the Dian horse immediately threw off its four hooves and galloped out first!

Liu Xiaoqi only felt that a heart was about to jump out of his throat! I can't stay in my chest any longer! His hand holding the wooden gun trembled slightly, his vest was damp, his mouth was dry, he stepped up, his legs were as soft as noodles, the more anxious he wanted to calm down, the more he couldn't settle down, and in the end, his calves were swollen and tight, and he was about to cramp!

Fortunately, Cao Jinliang was patrolling back and forth in the team, seeing that Liu Xiaoqi's face was anxious and sweating profusely, so he deliberately took a few steps behind him, walked to him, suddenly slapped him behind the stingy back, smiled, and asked knowingly: "Liu Xiaoqi, why are you sweating so much?" What's wrong with it? ”

Xiao Qi was stumbled by Cao Jinliang, and was almost planted on the ground. He hurriedly stood firm, turned his head and glared at the team leader who seemed to have never been lazy, and he didn't dare to raise his voice in the team, as long as he suppressed his voice and complained: "Team Cao, my wrestling is small, and it hinders the team's travel!" It's going to be dragged out to play the board immediately! Not trivial! ”

Cao Jinliang laughed, slapped Xiao Qi on the shoulder, and praised: "Yes, remember the rules, you are a good boy!" Remember the rules, then follow the rules! It's not a big deal! He pressed it on his vest again and encouraged him: "Liu Xiaoqi, although you are young, you are a steady and bold inside!" Today is your first time in battle, don't be afraid, just do it according to your usual training! ”

After he finished a few words, he strode away from Liu Xiaoqi and went to the back of the team to look. Liu Xiaoqi suddenly calmed down, the muscles on his legs and hands relaxed, and his mouth became moist again, only to feel that his whole body was no longer tense before, his body was comfortable, he was full of strength, and the hand holding the spear gradually sweated, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, he only hated that the mountain bandits were still ahead, otherwise he would be stabbed by a shot now, and it would be good to finish a few on the spot!
