When Li Qing'an left Li Linfu's house, it was already dark, the night breeze was blowing, cool and warm, there were few pedestrians on the street, only Li Qing'an's horse's hooves were on the stone road. Da! 'Walking.

Today, Li Linfu threw the ultimate intention of this game of chess to him, so that the Yang family and the prince would fight each other, he Li Linfu withdrew, and even Li Linfu and the prince reconciled and formed an alliance to deal with the Yang family together, this is possible, in history, Li Linfu has never reconciled with the prince, which led to the collapse of the Li Linfu family and can no longer turn over, so in the later period of Tianbao, after the crown prince sat firmly, did Li Linfu think about reconciling with the prince? Maybe he once had this idea, but the hatred was too deep and he couldn't reconcile, so will his arrival change the verdict of Datang? Let Li Linfu finally reconcile with the prince?

If so, what kind of impact will that have on the power structure of Datang? Li Qingan suddenly found that he had become an important chess piece that affected the power structure of the Tang Dynasty, but it was a pity that his own strength was not strong enough to extract the greatest benefits from this power change that changed history.

Thinking of Li Linfu's foresight, Li Qingan suddenly felt that he really needed a staff member, not a poet like Li Bai who didn't understand the world, but a sinister strategist like Jia Xu, Li Qingan couldn't help but think of Yan Zhuang, the three tricks he laid out in the polo tournament were really vicious, if he didn't happen to see this rule, then he really succeeded.

It's a pity that Yan Zhuang is assisting An Lushan, and the dignified Fan Yang Jie Du makes the status much higher than his own Zhonglang General.

When Li Qing'an entered Yishanfang, the drum that closed the door suddenly sounded, he couldn't help but speed up his horse, and from a distance, he saw a person on the steps in front of the Gaolishi Mansion who was anxiously pacing back and forth, and from time to time to visit this side, he suddenly saw Li Qing'an, and he rushed over, "General Li!" ”

He rushed to the front and said angrily, "General Li, I've been waiting for you for almost two hours. ”

"I'm so sorry, excuse me, you're...."

Li Qingan was a little unimpressed, didn't I let you wait, did I have nothing to do, just wait for someone to visit? Why are you blowing your beard and staring at your eyes like this? The person who came was only angry because he had waited too long, but he really wanted him to lose his temper at Li Qingan, but he didn't dare, seeing that he was about to close the door, he hurriedly said: "I am the second housekeeper of Pei Xiangguo's Mansion, Master Pei asked me to send you an invitation, which is clearly written." ”

After speaking, he handed an invitation to Li Qing'an, ran back to the steps, mounted his horse and ran towards the fangmen, and his shout was heard in the distance: "My lord is grateful to General Li, General Li must come." ”

The Pei family came to invite, this was what he expected, yesterday at noon he helped the Pei family, he knew that Pei Kuan would definitely thank himself, he looked at the invitation card in his hand by the light at the door, and saw that it said that in the morning, Pei's house gathered, 'Tomorrow morning?' Li Qingan suddenly remembered that tomorrow would be the end of the day.

Although there are many festivals in the Tang Dynasty, but the fixed rest is pitiful, there is no double holiday, only once every ten days of the ten days of the holiday, so this day is also very precious, every ten days, the officials' homes are like a festival, wine and food, wine and banquets, officials or at home for a leisurely day, or with their families to travel and relax.

Today, the Pei family originally planned to go to Qujiang to play with the whole family, but because of the disaster of the city gate the day before yesterday, the old wife was frightened, the eldest grandson was injured, and the play plan was canceled, Pei Kuan is a person surnamed Huo, if according to his former temper, he had to rush to the Yang family to ask for an explanation, but after experiencing the catastrophe of Tianbao in the early years, his ears were smooth, his courage was soft, and he did not dare to go to the Yang family to settle the account, although he did not dare to take revenge, but he could not forget to repay the favor, early in the morning, he let his eldest son Pei Zhen go to invite Li Qing'an to come to the house.

Before dawn, Pei Kuan got up, he first went to visit his old wife, his wife was frightened in the conflict at the city gate the day before yesterday, and fell ill when she went home, Pei Kuan's wife was the daughter of Runzhou Thorn Shi Wei Xu, and he joined hands in life for more than 40 years, but in the twilight of his life, he was abused by the evil slave of the Yang family, she couldn't bear this shame, and the illness recurred.

Mrs. Pei lay quietly on the sickbed, her eyes were slightly closed, her face was pale, she had angina last night, and she had just fallen asleep, Pei Kuan sat in front of the couch, holding the old wife's thin hand, her heart was full of pity, and she guarded her for a moment, Pei Kuan stood up and said to the maid: "Serve the old lady well, if there is anything, let people go to Imperial Doctor Liu." ”

He walked out of the ward and asked another family member, "How are Pei Zhong's eyes?" ”

"Back to the master, that whip was too hard, Imperial Doctor Liu said that his left eye was useless."

"These bastards!"

Pei Kuan gritted his teeth for a while, and asked again, "What about Yu'er?" ”

"Grandfather, I'm all right!" Pei Yu carried a sword and walked over quickly.

Pei Yu is Pei Kuan's most beloved eldest grandson, knowledgeable, outstanding in writing, ready to participate in the provincial examination next year, after being violently beaten by the evil slaves of the Yang family the day before yesterday, Pei Kuan was very worried about his physical accident, but after the imperial doctor's examination, he said that it was good that he was beaten for a short time, otherwise he would have injured his internal organs, and the situation would be troublesome, which was also the main reason why Pei Kuan was grateful to Li Qing'an, if he hadn't made a timely move, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Pei Kuan smiled slightly and said, "Yu'er, today is off, isn't it your Qingyue Poetry Society party?" How did you practice swords? ”

"My grandson used to be too accustomed to literature, so that I couldn't tie the chicken, and I couldn't even beat a few vicious dogs, and my grandson was determined to cultivate both civil and military skills, and today General Li is here, I want to ask him for swordsmanship."

"You should ask General Li for archery skills, or ask for sword skills, I guess he never uses a sword."

As soon as the words fell, he went to invite Li Qing'an's eldest son Pei Zhen to come in a hurry, Pei Kuan was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked, "Is General Li here?" ”

"Father, I met General Li at the gate of the fang, he must go to the military camp outside the city today, and he will not be able to come until evening."

Pei Kuan was stunned, "What about others?" Already gone? ”

"He's just outside the house, and I want to say sorry to my father!"

"That's it...."Pei Kuan thought for a while and said, "Let's go!" Meet him. ”

Outside the gate of the mansion, Li Qingan was pacing back and forth, and as soon as the morning dawned, Li Fei Shouyu of the military camp sent someone to bring him the news that a person of unknown origin had shot an arrow at the military camp sentry late last night, and a sentry was slightly injured.

Li Qingan wanted to rush to the barracks immediately, he specially came to explain to Pei Kuan, and when he was anxious, there was a sound of footsteps from inside the door, and Pei Kuan walked out quickly.

"General Li, is there something wrong with going to the barracks in such a hurry?"

"Xiangguo, I just received news that someone shot an arrow at the barracks sentry last night, and I want to rush there immediately."

"And this kind of thing?"

Pei Kuan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Anyway, I'm fine today, I'll go and have a look with you." ”

Li Qingan hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's really troublesome!" ”

At this time, Pei Yu in the back also hurriedly said: "Grandfather, General Li, I want to go too, is it okay?" ”

Pei Kuan glanced at Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an smiled and waved his hand, "Then get on the horse!" ”

Everyone turned on their horses, urged them to gallop away outside the Mingde Gate.

Walking to the Mingde Gate, Pei Kuan slowed down the horse's speed, he looked at the city gate hole for a long time, suddenly sighed, the horse whip slammed the war horse, and accelerated away.

Li Qing'an's Jiangdu battalion was stationed near Changlepo in the east of Chang'an, and there were six regimental training battalions with a total of 3,000 people stationed in this area, and there were also six regimental training battalions stationed in the Bashang area.

Li Qingan and his entourage soon arrived at the regimental training camp, and as soon as they arrived at the camp gate, Li Fei Shouyu greeted them.

"What happened to the wounded brother?" Li Qingan turned over and dismounted and asked.

"Fortunately, I just shot in the thigh, it didn't hurt the vital point, and now the injury is stable."

Lifei Shouyu suddenly saw Pei Kuan behind him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "See Pei Xiangguo!" ”

Pei Kuan nodded and asked, "Aside from shooting an arrow, is there anything that is not conducive to the military camp?" ”

"There was nothing else but archery, a total of three arrows were shot, all of them were shot with crossbows, two arrows were shot in the air, and one arrow wounded the soldiers, we have checked, it should have been shot from the woods."

Li Fei Shouyu pointed to a poplar forest on the left side of the barracks, Li Qingan took a curtain to look at it, the poplar forest was about a hundred steps away from the barracks, under the sunlight, the morning fog was gradually disappearing, and there was a small stream flowing in front of the woods.

"Did you find anything?"

"There was a rain last night, and it was damp in the woods, and we found the footprints of five people, along with horseshoe prints, which were headed east."

Li Qing'an pondered for a moment, the other party's motive was unknown, and he couldn't find out who did it, he said to Li Fei Shouyu: "Just strengthen vigilance at night, don't mention this matter again, let the brothers train with peace of mind." ”

He turned around and smiled at Pei Kuan's ancestor: "Pei Shangshu, please follow me into the barracks!" ”

"Good! I was just trying to see the results of General Lee's training. ”

The barracks occupy a wide area, there are three archery training grounds alone, the soldiers are divided into five teams, each team is lined up into ten rows to practice arrows, after several months of hard training, and get Li Qing'an, Li Fei Shouyu such archery masters carefully taught, the soldiers progress rapidly, 100 steps away can basically be ten arrows, some of them are particularly excellent, and even have been able to open the bow left and right, 100 steps through Yang.

Li Qing'an strode up to the starting platform, knocked on the seed heavily, he raised the red flag and waved, and the soldiers who were scattered all over the place to practice archery immediately rushed over, like ants gathered, and in a moment, the whole team of five hundred soldiers ended.

Li Qingan smiled and waved his hand, "Brothers, sit down!" ”

The soldiers sat down one after another, and Li Qingan said loudly: "Today, Pei Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came to see everyone's training, Pei Shangshu turned out to be the envoy of Fan Yangjie, and the brothers gave Pei Shangshu a good performance." ”

He turned back to Pei Kuan and smiled: "Pei Shangshu can pick five people and let them shoot at the target in a hundred steps." ”

"Then I'll pick random people."

Pei Kuan looked around, and he pointed to the five people on the far left: "Just the five of you!" ”

The five soldiers stood up, they could all shoot the five-stone bow, they held the bow and walked to the shooting point, a hundred paces away was a row of straw men, the five people raised their bows together, put on the long arrows, and slowly pulled the bow, the bowstring was loosened at the same time, and the five arrows flew away, and the brush was nailed to the chests of the five straw men.

"Good, good shot!" Pei Kuan applauded loudly.

The five of them stepped forward to resume their lives, and Li Qingan smiled slightly: "Very good, each person will be rewarded with five yuan!" ”

The five of them were overjoyed and thanked each other and retreated, and at this time, Pei Kuan said again: "General Li, I want to see the best shooters among your soldiers." ”

All the soldiers looked at Nan Jiyun who was sitting in the back row, Nan Jiyun has made rapid progress in the past few months of training, he is already good at archery, and he has Li Qing'an's special guidance, his archery skills have been perfect, even surpassing Li Fei Shouyu, second only to Li Qing'an.

In the daily training list, Nan Jiyun always topped the list with impressive results, and he has now been promoted to the lieutenant of the regimental training camp and has become one of the instructors.

Li Qing'an nodded to him and made a gesture of riding and shooting, one soldier led a horse up, and the other two soldiers carried an iron cage and ran a hundred paces away.

Nan Jiyun shouldered the bow and arrows, he turned over on the horse, urged the horse to gallop, galloped along the barracks, ran to this side, took off the bow and arrows, at this time, the soldier opened the iron cage, a hundred steps away, two gray pigeons fluttered their wings and flew out, just flew out of more than ten zhang high, Nan Jiyun's first arrow arrived like lightning, an arrow shot through the top of the flying pigeon, he changed his left hand to open the bow, and another arrow went like a torrential rain, the winged flying pigeon through the chest with an arrow.

His magic arrow caused the soldiers to be amazed, and then the applause was like thunder, but Pei Yu sighed in a low voice and said, "Why is the flying slave? ”

Pei Kuan glanced at his grandson and shook his head secretly, although his grandson's literary talent is good, but he is too weak, how can Pei Kuan's grandson have the heart of such a woman.

As soon as Nan Jiyun put away his bow and jumped off the galloping horse, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "The last general Nan Jiyun has finished shooting!" ”

Li Qingan nodded with a smile and said to Pei Kuan: "What does Pei Shangshu think?" ”

Pei Kuan stroked his beard and smiled: "Anxi has another fierce general!" ”

．．．．．．．．

After the review, the soldiers went to train again, Li Qingan accompanied Pei Kuan to his big tent, he groaned and asked: "Pei Shangshu, I want to bring these five hundred troops back to Anxi, I don't know if the imperial court agrees?" ”

Pei Kuan thought for a while and said: "If they volunteer to be the athletes of the Long March, they can go to Anxi to join the army, and the court will not stop them, but in this way, they have nothing to do with you, if you can be promoted to general, you can have a personal army of five hundred people, and you can also take them with you, this is the best way, but one thing you have to remember is that these five hundred people must be the establishment of the Anxi army, and must not be your private army, otherwise, once impeached, General Li, your surname will not be guaranteed!" ”

Li Qingan nodded silently, as long as they can send them to Anxi, Gao Xianzhi's side will organize these soldiers into his own battalion, the key is that they themselves must be willing to go, when to talk to everyone.

At this time, he inadvertently glanced at it, but saw Pei Yu pulling his bow, his face was red, but the big bow did not move at all, Pei Kuan also saw it, he sighed, and said to Li Qing'an: "General Li, there is something I want to ask you to help with." ”

"Pei Shangshu is not polite, please feel free to speak."

Pei Kuan pointed to his eldest grandson and said: "My grandson is very knowledgeable and kind-hearted, but his surname is weak, I want to hand him over to General Li and take him to Anxi to hone for a few years, I wonder if General Li can agree?" ”

Li Qingan smiled and said, "As long as he wants to go, there is no problem." ”

．．．．．．．．．．

At the same time that Li Qing'an and his entourage went out of the city to the barracks, Yang Zhao and his son also rode to the Yang Quanfu located in Xinghuafang, since Yang Zhao was reinstated as the imperial history of the Cheng, his surname is much more convergent than before, and he also understands that many things are done, and there are not things to do, under the persuasion of his staff, Yang Zhao's words and deeds are low-key, and he keeps a certain distance from other five Yangs, yesterday he heard that Yang Xuan was plotted at the gate of the city and was injured, he did not rush to visit at the first time, but on the grounds that he was busy with affairs, he sent his son to send some supplements, Today is the middle of the day, and Yang Zhao knows that if he doesn't come to see it again, it doesn't make sense anymore.

"Xuan'er, when you came to visit the second uncle yesterday, did he mention who he was injured by?"

Yang Xuan is the eldest son of Yang Zhao, yesterday he was ordered by his father to visit the second uncle, asked some information, and when his father asked himself, he hurriedly said: "The second uncle said that it was very chaotic at the time, and he couldn't find out what the reason was for a while, and it was said that the uncle was investigating this matter." ”

"Oh well! Let's go in first. The father and son walked up the steps and went directly into the house.

The day before yesterday, the carriage overturned, so that Yang Cheng broke a few ribs, and injured the male root, he has been sick in bed for the past two days, the imperial doctor in the palace repeatedly told him that he can not get out of bed within three months, and he cannot have sex within half a year, otherwise he may have the worry of his life, which makes him resentful in his heart, who dares to secretly harm him? Beside him, his brother Yang Qi had already found a little bit of eyebrows and was telling him about the latest discovery.

"The man of Chang'an County has experienced the horse corpse, the reason why the horse is crazy is that he was shot into the dung door with an arrow, the arrow is about three inches long, and it is shot with a special hand crossbow, second, this matter is not accidental! Someone is secretly framing us. ”

"Fuck it!" Yang Quan scolded angrily, "I just think something is wrong, and someone is really harming us." ”

He was emotional, and suddenly pulled a broken bone, and he grinned in pain, and it took a while to ease up, and at this time, someone at the door reported, "The third master is here!" ”

Footsteps sounded, Yang Zhao walked in quickly, he saw that Yang Qi was also there, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Big brother is also here!" ”

"Ahh The third brother is here, come! Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

Yang Zhao sat down and asked with concern, "I heard that the second brother broke a few ribs, is it better now?" ”

"It's okay to break a few ribs, but I almost lost my children and grandchildren."

Yang Xuan gritted his teeth for a while and said: "I don't know which bastard is plotting against me in the back, and he actually shot a short arrow into the horse's asshole, if I find out, I have to let him cut off his children and grandchildren." ”

Yang Zhao glanced at Yang Qi again and asked, "Does the eldest brother have found anything else?" ”

"I was about to tell my second brother!"

Yang Qi said slowly: "The Chang'an County Ya asked the soldiers guarding the gate at that time, and there happened to be Ge Shuhan and his party in the Mingde Gate at that time, and in addition, the Changsun Quanxu and Li Qing'an, the general of the Wanqi Battalion, were also with Ge Shuhan at that time. ”

'Li Qing'an! ’

Yang Zhao's heart jumped sensitively, he immediately thought of short arrows, which could shoot short arrows into the horse's dung door, except for Li Qingan, who else could do it? Yang Zhao's mind changed rapidly, although he has been low-key and forbearant in the past few months, it does not mean that he has changed his surname, on the contrary, he is more jealous of Li Qing'an than before, jealous of him being in the limelight at Sanniang's birthday banquet, jealous that he went to teach the concubine to throw arrows, jealous that he became a Yangzhou regimental training envoy, this kind of jealousy he never shows, but suppresses it in his heart, and accumulates deeper, just like putting a copper coin from a loan shark, jealousy also gives birth to a lot of interest, so that his narrow mind can not be accommodated, at this moment, Yang Qi mentioned Li Qing'an's name, The old accounts in Yang Zhao's heart turned over together.

He smiled quietly: "I've heard of Ge Shuhan's marksmanship, but his archery skills are average, and this kind of accurate archery work is probably not done by him." ”

A sentence reminded Yang Quan and Yang Qi, the two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a look of sudden realization, Li Qing'an, who else would do it besides him?

"It's against him!"

Yang Qi was extremely angry, he raised his arms and shouted: "He is so bold, a little lieutenant general, he dares to assassinate my brother, I want to sue him!" ”

"This Li Qingan taught Niangniang to throw arrows, I guess Niangniang will protect him." Yang Zhao reminded him again.

Yang Qi snorted heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe it, I can't write two Yang characters in one stroke, I have to cut off my children and grandchildren, will Niangniang still protect outsiders?" ”

"What is it that makes my second child so angry?" Yang Huahua's voice suddenly came from the door.

．．．．．．．．
