Xu Liang said: "Fourth Miss, Xu saw that Miss Four's men and horses attacked Loujiabao for several days, and there were many casualties. ”

When it came to business, Li Ting put on a straight look, and said, "But I don't know how Brother Xu can help me?" ”

Xu Liang pointed to Loujiabao, stretched out three fingers, and said: "Xu Mou's men also have some horses, the fourth miss only needs to give Xu three days, and when Xu's men and horses arrive, you will join forces with the fourth lady, and both of you will attack it with all your might, and Loujiabao will be broken." During this period, I also asked the fourth lady to temporarily stop the army and besiege but not attack. ”

"How many men do you have?" The fourth lady said that in her mind, there must not be many people and horses that Xu Liang can bring.

Xu Liang said: "I have three thousand sons, and I will be there in three days." ”

The fourth young lady was surprised, and whispered a few words to a man in a long robe standing next to her, then raised her head and chuckled at Xu Liang: "Since Brother Xu has such power, then you can find Loujiabao by yourself, it seems that you don't need to join forces with my Li Jiajun, right?" ”

Xu Liang took a closer look at the man in the long robe, and saw that he was slightly fat, his face was calm, and he stood on his horse without saying a word, and the soldiers around him were very respectful, so he guessed that this person was probably also an important person. Xu Liang immediately waved his hand and said: "The fourth lady is wrong, there is a way that there are many people with great strength, and there are many firewood and high flames, Loujiabao is not only the enemy of Miss Four, but also my Xu Liang's enemy, the enemy of this enemy is a friend, you and I join forces today, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, such a beautiful thing, why not?" ”

"Well said." The fourth lady clapped her hands and chuckled, "In this way, Miss Ben will go back to rectify the military horses and wait for Brother Xu's good news." ”

"Thank you." Xu Liang arched his hand and said: "It's just that Xu still has something unclear." ”

"Brother Xu, please speak."

Xu Liang thought of Lou Xian'er's words, and said in a deep voice: "Although Xu knows that there is no one in Loujiabao's eyes, and he hates it tightly, but who is it against, like a hero like Miss Four, Loujiabao will probably not take it lightly, but I don't know how Miss Fourth and Loujiabao got married?" ”

The fourth lady groaned and did not answer for a while. Seeing this, Xu Liang hurriedly said: "Xu Liang is also curious, just ask, if the fourth lady is inconvenient to say, it doesn't hurt." ”

The fourth lady listened, looked at Xu Liang and smiled, brushed up the scattered sideburns with one hand, and said, "Since the two of us want to cooperate, it doesn't hurt to sue you." Saying that, the fourth lady showed an angry look on her face, and said hatefully: "The world only knows that Loujiabao has a huge power on the northwest ground, but few people know that five or six years ago, Loujiabao was only a small household in Hanzhong Mansion. Back then, the noble man had an appointment to help Loujiabao, once the nobleman's heirs were in trouble in the future, they came to the door to seek assistance, and Loujiabao needed to help with all his might. ”

Xu Liang said suddenly: "Presumably, this noble person who helped Loujiabao is the senior of the fourth young lady's family?" ”

The fourth young lady nodded, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Not bad." It was the elders of my Li family who helped Loujiabao develop back then. Alas, the elders in my family were so noble in the court and the opposition back then, and this arrangement was precisely to prevent the family from falling into the middle of the road in the future, so that the children of the family could have a way back. Sure enough, a few years later, the elder in my family offended the powerful and fell into the middle of the family. Miss Ben took the token handed over by the elders to Loujiabao, and wanted to ask Loujiabao to fulfill the promise of the year, how do you know that the people of Loujiabao are ambitious and ungrateful, and they actually turned their faces and did not recognize people. Hehe, the world is hot and cold, people's hearts are not ancient, and it is true. ”

Xu Liang was indignant when he heard this, and scolded angrily: "The people Xu looks down on the most in his life are those treacherous villains!" Originally, I only said that Loujiabao's eldest son, Lou Chuan, was despicable and shameless, but now I heard from Miss Si that the entire Loujiabao people are a group of shameless villains. ”

When Xu Liang said this, he felt a tightness in his lower back, and then a pain, turned his head to look with the rest of his eyes, and saw Lou Xian'er's eyes like a knife, slashing at himself fiercely.

Xu Liang took two steps forward without a trace, dodged Lou Xian'er, and said to the fourth lady: "Fourth miss, then it's decided, three days later, you and I will raise the flag as a number, meet in this place, jointly attack Loujiabao, and swear to level Loujiabao!" ”

After the two parties agreed, they returned to the camp.

In the next two days, Xu Liang saw that the Li Jiajun at the foot of the mountain really stopped attacking the city, but tightly guarded the exits of the gates of Loujiabao, waiting for Xu Liang's men and horses to arrive. Xu Liang and the others hid on the mountain, paying attention to the movements of Loujiabao and Li Jiajun. And in the big tent of the Li family's army besieging Loujiabao at the foot of the mountain, the four young ladies were also discussing the war with others. In the tightly guarded Chinese military tent, the fourth lady sat opposite the middle-aged man in the long robe.

"Grandpa, do you think this Xu Liang is reliable?" The fourth lady said softly: "At the moment, we have been waiting for two days, and in one more day, it will be the agreed period." ”

The middle-aged man in the long shirt touched his smooth chin with his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "We can't attack the downstairs fort, since someone is going to come and kick in, what's the harm if you believe him once?" It's just that how can I hear this Xu Liang's name so familiar? Where have you heard of it? ”

The fourth lady saw that the middle-aged man was frowning and thinking about it again, so she chuckled and said, "Grandpa, you are thinking about the previous person again." There are thousands of people in this Ming Dynasty, so what's so strange about how many people have the same name? Most of the names of people who can enter the eyes of his grandfather are some great people, and Ting'er basically knows it, but this is the first time I have heard of Xu Liang, and this time it is probably because you think too much. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he dotingly touched the fourth lady's shoulder-length hair, and sighed: "My Ting'er said so, that's it." It's just Ting'er, your intelligence and talent are not inferior to anyone, but it's a pity that it's a daughter, otherwise, our Li family will have a successor. ”

"Grandpa......" When the fourth lady heard this, she couldn't help but exclaim, "What's wrong with my daughter?" Even if Ting'er is a woman, she will also give Li Jiaguang to show off her ancestors. ”

"But you always want to get married, and if you marry, you will no longer be a member of the Li family." The middle-aged man said slowly.

"Na Ting'er will not marry, and will accompany his grandfather for the rest of his life." The fourth lady said.

"Hehe," the middle-aged man laughed and said repeatedly: "Okay, Ting'er has this heart, and it is not in vain that Grandpa hurts you." ”

As the two spoke, they heard the sound of the door curtain, and walked in from outside the tent a young woman with a graceful posture, the woman took a pot of tea in her hand, carefully poured a cup for the fourth lady and the middle-aged man, blessed the two, and said respectfully: "Old man, fourth miss, this freshly soaked West Lake Longjing, you have to drink it while it's hot." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and the fourth lady got up and pulled the woman over, walked to the couch and sat her down, and chuckled: "Sister Feng, how many times have I told you, just let the people below do these little things." I have hired you to be a military advisor, and your duty is to make plans for Miss Ben. ”

The woman chuckled.

At this moment another man hurried into the tent, and with him came a cool breeze. This person was also like the middle-aged man, wearing a brown robe, he walked up to the middle-aged man, and reported with an anxious expression, his voice sounded like a duck's call, sounding strange: "Duke, according to the report from the spies, there is an army of about 3,000 people coming in the direction of Feixian Ridge. ”

The middle-aged man looked stunned when he heard this, and his face changed slightly: "Chaoqin, can you inquire clearly, where is the army?" ”

This person is the confidant of the middle-aged man, also surnamed Li, and his name is Chaoqin. Li Chaoqin said: "Dugong, it's not like the army of the court, the banner is a Liang character, it seems that the road may be Pingliang, the army over there in Yansui." ”

"Could it be the rebels?" The fourth lady asked, in fact, the thieves who exposed the rebellion in the northwest are called righteous soldiers to each other, and the thieves are just the names of the court for the people who make trouble.

Li Chaoqin shook his head again and said, "It's not a rebel army, judging from their equipment, it's much stronger than an ordinary rebel army." ”

"Which way would that be?" Several people looked at each other, unable to guess. The fourth lady turned her head to see the woman surnamed Feng, her eyes lit up, and she asked: "Sister Feng, you seem to be from Pingliang, do you know which army in Pingliang and Yansui is under the banner of Liangzi?" ”

"Huh?" The woman surnamed Feng was slightly flustered when she heard this, shook her head and said, "Although I have lived in Pingliang, I don't know much about the local military forces. ”

The fourth young lady was disappointed, and then heard the woman surnamed Feng continue: "However, fourth miss, have you forgotten that we are waiting to cooperate with someone to fight Loujiabao, could this be the friendly army who came to help?" ”

"Ah, yes." The fourth lady nodded abruptly and said, "The helpful Xu Liang said that his men and horses will arrive in three days, and most of them are his people." ”

The woman surnamed Feng was pouring tea with Li Chaoqin, and when she heard the fourth lady say the word Xu Liang, the hand carrying the teapot shook suddenly, and most of the cup of tea splashed out of the cup, but fortunately, the other three people in the room were all in the mood of the army who came, and did not notice the abnormality on the table, the woman hurriedly wiped it dry and refilled the cup.

"Li Chaoqin, you will go to the agreed place to find Xu Liang's people to contact and confirm the origin of this army." The fourth young lady said to Li Chaoqin.
