Chapter 37: The Enemy Meets

As soon as Li Shan finished breakfast, he listened to Lu Boyan's voice outside and said, "Brother Li, hurry up, my uncle asked me to call you early, I'm afraid you will be late." Li Shan went out and saw that the people were quite neat, Sun Helian, Fang Zicheng, and Shen Shixing were also there. Li Shandao: "It's not the tenth day today, how can you have time to come out?" Sun Helian said: "Today's embankment breaking ground is a big day, there are not enough people to build the embankment, and we have to use people in the army to help. Lu Boyan said: "Brother Li, I heard that yesterday you gave your uncle a plan for the construction of the river embankment?" Li Shan nodded and said: "Yes, it should be decided today, if my opportunity passes, I will be the person in charge of the construction of the embankment this time." ”

Sun Helian shouted: "What? How is this possible, the construction of the river embankment is not trivial, I think it is all presided over by the division of the judgment and supervised by the assassin history, how can you be in charge of this kind of thing. Li Shan didn't explain much, and said: "You'll know when you go, presumably Uncle Lu has already arranged it." ”

Several people rode to the south of the city, and when they left the city gate, they met Li Chengwei. Seeing that Li Chengwei and a few entourages also rushed to the direction of the river embankment, he was the governor of Jingzhou, and he must also participate in the construction of the river embankment. As the so-called enemies are very red when they meet, Li Shan is really angry when he sees Li Chengwei this time. I happened to see Li Chengwei and a few of his fox friends flirting with a girl who sold kites. Li Shandeng was furious, and rushed forward with a dozen horsewhips.

Li Chengwei was lewdly bullying the girl at this time, and said with a smile: "Little lady, how do you sell this kite?" It's okay to sell them to me, but you'll have to send these kites to the house with me. Just as he was about to reach out and touch the girl's face, he saw Li Shan rushing over, raising his horsewhip and pointing it at Li Chengwei's hand, only to hear a crisp "pop". The back of Li Chengwei's hand was directly peeled open, Li Chengwei's painful face changed, and he looked at Li Xian and said fiercely: "You kid, you dare to beat me, I will kill you." ”

The people under his command didn't wait for Li Chengwei to speak, and rushed up to beat Li Shan. Li Shan is not a vegetarian, whoever dares to raise the whip at close range will be beaten, then they are all playboys, who dares to step forward when they look at the formation. Only Li Chengwei's two house slaves came up to capture Li Shan. At this time, Sun Helian and others also arrived, and Shen Shixing saw that Li Shan was in danger, so he jumped up directly from the horse, stepped on the horse's back with both feet, and his body was like a swooping owl, and he put the two house slaves to the ground with one move.

Li Chengwei said angrily: "Don't call someone yet, call Cai Qi, this person dares to attack the court officials in broad daylight and arrest him in prison." Don't run, you kid, you were lucky last time, and I'm going to get you back this time when you run to the edge of the sky. Li Shan didn't flinch at all and said: "You just gave birth to a good skin, what's the big deal." Flirting with folk girls in broad daylight, do you really think that your surname is Li, and this Wang Fa is your family? The people are bigger than the sky, you are doing such evil, do you really think that no one dares to rectify you? ”

"It's a good sentence that the people are bigger than the sky, Zhao admires. Unexpectedly, among the young generation in Jingzhou, there are not only people who are also flies and dogs, but also people who are so knowledgeable. Dare to ask your name? Li Shan saw that the person who spoke was a person who reported on the work that he saw at Lu Tingshi's house that day, and Shi Li said: "In Xia Li Shan, we have met in Lord Lu's mansion." The man replied, "I am the Jingzhou Division." Cai Yong's protΓ©gΓ©, I don't know where Li Gongzi's teacher came from? Li Chengwei saw that the two of them ignored him and chatted like this, and said angrily: "Zhao Jun, this person is bold enough to attack this official in public, what are you going to do at this time?" Shielding him? ”

At this time, I saw a team of officials running over from afar, led by one person wearing an official uniform, who should have joined the army, presumably Cai Qi. Cai Qi stepped forward and saw that Li Chengwei's hand was bleeding, and then looked at the horsewhip in Li Shan's hand to know what was going on, so he didn't ask much, and said directly: "Hurry up and tie up this bold Diao Min." Sun Helian said: "Cai Qi, you look at it, dare to arrest people before you ask about it?" Li Chengwei said: "What do you ask, Li Shan's attack on this official in broad daylight is simply lawless, arrest him quickly." Cai Qi looked at Sun Helian expressionlessly and said: "The matter is already obvious, I advise Sun Gongzi to get acquainted and get out of the way." If you really do it, it doesn't look good. ”

Sun Helian was still very righteous, standing in front of Li Shan and said, "I'll just stand here and see what you can do." Cai Qi looked at Sun Helian coldly, sneered, and turned his gaze sharply to Li Shandao: "You come over to me." As he spoke, the shot was as fast as lightning, Li Shan didn't see how Cai Qi's hand came over, and saw Sun Helian stumbling to the side, Cai Qi's hand had already grabbed Li Shan's collar, and at this time, Shen Shixing also moved, raised his hand and cut Cai Qi's tiger mouth with a hand knife, and then blocked in front of Li Shan. Cai Qi couldn't hit it and wanted to go again, Shen Shixing didn't give him a chance, the two dismantled each other more than a dozen moves, and finally Shen Shixing and Cai Qi slapped each other and pushed Cai Qi shockingly.

Cai Qi moved his wrist a few times and said, "Good kung fu." Then he said to the catcher behind him: "I will deal with him, you go and arrest people." Just as he was about to fight again, Lu Tingshi's voice rang out: "Stop it." When everyone saw Lu Tingshi coming, they saluted one after another. Only Li Chengwei snorted disdainfully: "Lord Lu, it just so happens that you are here." Seeing that your nephew helped these Diao people attack the imperial court officials, and you also have a responsibility for lax discipline, it seems that I should also go to the capital to report on the affairs of Jingzhou. Lu Tingshi looked at Li Chengwei and Li Shan, didn't seem to hear Li Chengwei's words, and said to Cai Qi: "You tell me what's going on?" ”

Cai Qi glanced at Li Chengwei and stepped forward and said, "The lower official led people to inspect the river embankment, and learned that someone attacked the governor of Jingzhou in broad daylight, Lord Li Chengwei, so he rushed to deal with it." was about to arrest the prisoner, but was stopped by Sun Gongzi Shen Gongzi. Cai Qi was obviously afraid of Lu Jiuyuan, and hurriedly brought out Li Chengwei, and Lu Boyan was not involved in what he said. Li Shan stepped forward and said, "Lord Lu, admit that the injury on Lord Li Chengwei's hand was beaten from below, but it is really to save Lord Li." You don't know how dangerous it was just now, Lord Li was having a poisonous snake next to his hand at that time, I saw that Lord Li couldn't avoid it, and I wanted to whip the poisonous snake away, but I didn't want to knock down Lord Li's hand. Li Chengwei listened to Li Shan's mouth full of nonsense: "What poisonous snake, I'll touch that little lady......" He also felt that if he said this, he would ignore it, after all, Thorn Shi is not like others, so he quickly stopped talking.

Lu Thorn Spey looked at Li Chengwei with a smile and said, "I think Li Shangongzi and Master Li must have misunderstood, speaking of which, Li Shangongzi still saved Master Li's life." Master Li can't take revenge, can he? Li Chengwei also knew that he was ignoring it, Lu Jiuyuan was obviously helping Li Shan speak, and he didn't dare to entangle, so he snorted, turned around and led people away.

With this little episode, the matter of inspecting the embankment is much simpler. Li Shan won Zhao Jun's favor, originally the matter of the river embankment was presided over by him, and now Li Shan's plan Zhao Jun also agreed very much, and asked Lord Lu to let Li Shan be his deputy and build the river embankment according to Li Shan's plan. Lu Jiuyuan's protection of Li Shan in public just now has been seen in the eyes of others, and he feels that the relationship between Li Shan and Lu Jiuyuan is not simple, so naturally he will not object.

Lu Jiuyuan looked around at the officials and saw that no one objected, and said, "Okay, Li Shan." I will now appoint you to the post of superintendent of the embankment, and report to the master tomorrow. Li Shan thanked him for receiving the order, originally thought that someone would definitely raise objections, but he didn't expect to make a decision so happily, and the generous statement he had prepared for a night was useless.
