Chapter 40: Gathering and Dispersing
readx; Li Chang walked over and put his finger on Guo Hengchuan's nose to feel it for a while, but he didn't find any breath, so he withdrew his finger, wiped his palm with a handkerchief, and said to Xiaolin behind him: "Everything in the Guo family should be annihilated, once it is spread out, it will damage the reputation of the handsome." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "It's enough to dispose of the Guo family, don't move any of your own people, they are all heroes of the country, if you do it too thoroughly, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, Yun Zheng was born in the world, what can I do to ruin my reputation?"
What's more, even if you kill those insiders, God knows that you know and I know, there is no complete secrecy in this world, there is no need to do that, the cobblers should only be rewarded for what they do, and they need to be rewarded heavily, and the Jingxi Army never cuts the butcher's knife on his brother's body. ”
Xiao Lin clenched his fists and went out, and he could see that he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Chang and Yun Zheng walked out of the military tent with a strong smell of blood and walked along the Hunyuan River, where the setting sun shone from the west, dyeing the river red.
Li Chang pointed to the sunset on the horizon and sighed: "This picturesque country is full of soldiers' blood!" ”
"Yes, not only ours, but also the blood of the enemy, Guo Hengchuan can be regarded as a loyal martyr for the Liao State, but he is the most dangerous enemy for the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to distinguish a right from wrong when something is put under the general environment, we can not choose much, we can only instinctively choose the road that is most beneficial to us."
Li Chang laughed and said: "The war does not stop, the journey does not stop, the marshal is about to lead the troops to Dingzhou to escort, and the old man will drink for the marshal tomorrow!" ”
Yun Zheng smiled. Pointing at Li Changdao: "It's okay to drink, you can't drink in a small cup anymore, it's not good for you to stay awake all the time." ”
Li Chang nodded with a smile: "I really envy that the handsome man can run thousands of miles like a tiger." It's a pity that the old man can't accompany him! ”
Yun Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed, seemingly very happy.
When he saw him off, Li Chang really didn't use a delicate small cup, but replaced it with the same coarse porcelain bowl as others, and the wine was very heroic when he drank it dry, but he was drunk and unconscious after half an hour.
I slept for two days, and when I finally woke up, I heard Yun Zheng giving orders outside. He rubbed his temples and got up from the bed, pushed open a door, and found himself in front of an endless marching procession. The horse snorted past him, and the knight on the horse passed by when he saw him habitually knocking on his breastplate.
He felt that he was still asleep, anyway, Yun Zheng should have set off a long time ago at this time, and it was impossible to stay in Yingzhou.
Yun Zheng turned around and smiled at Li Chang after explaining the military to the tiger. The mouth full of white teeth is extremely glaring.
After quickly taking a look at the surrounding environment, Li Chang had already determined that he was not staying in Yingzhou, but was heading to Dingzhou with the army.
He staggered to Yun Zheng and asked in a hoarse voice, "Shouldn't I stay in Yanmen Pass to clean up the affairs after the war?" How did you get here with the army? ”
Yun Zheng looked at Li Chang with resentment: "I thought about it later, you should rest assured that you should follow me, otherwise, it would be strange if the leatherman, the thief, and the thief could survive." ”
Li Chang slapped his thigh and said, "Those few people can't live, you can't do it if you have a comradeship with them." This kind of thing should be done for you by me, the prison army, have you ever thought about it, once this kind of love spreads? Even if this is done for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, under the verbal criticism of those scholars, your reputation will be over, this kind of thing is absolutely taboo for the Great Song Dynasty, I just want you to leave a clean reputation in the history, not the nickname of a skinning general. This is not the time for you to have the kindness of a woman, where are those people? It must be killed! ”
Yun Zheng smiled: "It's late." Thou hast slept for two days, and thou hast gone east for two days, and I told the cobblers that they had run away with their reward, and that they had hid when they saw thee in this life, and that they were riding fast horses, and who knows where they had gone by this time.
Lao Li, don't worry about my reputation, what kind of person Yun Zheng is, let them say, even if I am described as a demon in the history books, it is not a big deal, maybe I can leave a benchmark for future generations, don't do things mother-in-law.
There is another reason to take you to Dingzhou, I estimate that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will be going crazy to Dingzhou, you also know how simple and rude my way to deal with them is, this kind of thing is better to be handled by you, I just have to fight a good battle, kill that Yelu Flower Tower, I don't care about the rest. ”
Li Chang often knocked his painful and almost cracked head and said angrily: "You are reluctant to be imprisoned to death for a few crimes, so you can't bear to let me get drunk for three days?" ”
"Pull it down, I don't know if it's good for you, you don't look in the mirror to see what you look like, what did the battle of Yanmen Pass torture you into as a civil official, your temples are full of white hair, this is the result of too much thought, get drunk for three days, and sleep for three days after waking up, to ensure that you are a good man again."
I always feel that our future road is not easy to walk, at this time you are indispensable, I want to die early, dream of it, get on the ship of my Jingxi army, and give Lao Tzu a good life to enjoy the glory and wealth. ”
After listening to Yun Zheng's words, Li Chang didn't know what it was like in his heart, he only felt that his nose was sour, and his heart seemed to be blocked with a large piece of cotton, this feeling that he had never felt before made him a little uncomfortable, and he shook his sleeves irritably, so he continued to climb into the carriage and go to sleep, this will, watching the sun is a torment for him.
Yun Zheng saw Li Chang climb into the carriage in embarrassment, smiled, stepped on the big green horse, pointed the whip at the east and shouted: "Target, Dingzhou!" Full speed ahead! ”
The black army Changlong suddenly began to accelerate, and the smoke and dust billowed along the loess road on the grassland towards Dingzhou.
Since leaving Yanmen Pass, the cobbler has taken Long Yangsheng, a thief, a liar, and a thief to run in the direction of Taiyuan non-stop, and he remembers what Xiaolin whispered to himself.
"Don't look back here, live carefully after settling down, don't dare to be discovered by the prison army, otherwise there is only a dead end."
The five of them ran sleeplessly for three whole days, and when they saw that Taiyuan City was in front of them, the cobbler strangled the reins of his war horse on a barren slope, looked around and said to his tired companions: "No one has chased and killed all the way here, it seems that the handsome man has given us a way to live!" ”
The thief rolled down from his horse, lay on the grass on all fours, and said unwillingly: "We have made a great contribution, and the handsome man should not do this to us!" ”
The liar also got off the war horse, and gently patted the trembling war horse's leg with his hand and said softly to Long Yangsheng: "We have the life to enjoy the goods in the baggage." ”
Although Long Yangsheng's handsome face was covered with dust, he was full of vitality, and said with a coquettish smile: "That's true, Dashuai is the only noble I have ever seen in my life who speaks and counts." ”
The thief jumped up and said angrily: "We have made a great achievement, we should be promoted to the rank of knight, a little gold and silver will send us away, I don't accept it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he felt a chill in his waist and ribs, this feeling was familiar to him, this was the feeling of a blade entering his body, he turned back hard, and saw the cold face of the cobbler that had not melted for thousands of years.
"It doesn't matter if the marshal gives the treasure or not, the old man just wants his life, what we do in Yanmen Pass, which one of the things we can take out and say to others? Since the marshal besieged Guo Hengchuan, the prison army ordered us to stay in the barracks, saying that it was good to rest, and to say bad things was house arrest, and the old man was ready to be killed at that time.
As a result, it was General Xiaolin, who gave us a burden of gold and silver, a good horse for one person, and personally sent us out of the heavily guarded Yanmen Pass. If you don't die, you'll drag a few of us to life! ”
After speaking, he stirred the skinning knife in his hand in the body of the thief, and the thief spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground softly......
The thief took out a shovel from his body like a trick, and quickly dug a large pit on the barren slope.
The swindler and the thief pushed the body of the thief into the pit, threw it with the package of the thief, and covered it tightly with loess, and did not set up a grave, believing that it would not be long before new grass would grow here.
The four of them sat in a circle, silently ate the dry food in their hands, drank water, and after the meal was finished, Long Yangsheng whispered: "I don't ask the two elder brothers to go there, I just wish the two eldest brothers can live this life in peace." ”
The cobbler's eyes were a little moist, and he looked at Taiyuan City not far away: "I used to have a family, a mother-in-law, and a baby, but then I was separated in Hebei, and I was going to go to Hebei to find them, and if I can't find it for a year, I won't stop for a year!" ”
Long Yangsheng turned around and hugged the liar and said with a smile: "We are going to spend this life together, find a small village with beautiful mountains and rivers, buy some land, raise some livestock, and it is best to adopt one or two dolls to be commensurate with brothers to finish this life, I thought, if I am born a woman in the next life, I will marry him, without him, I can't live." ”
The thief pouted and said, "Breath! He patted the packing of gold and silver next to him and said: "Lao Tzu is not going to live so miserable, with the treasures that he will eat and drink inexhaustibly in this life, Lao Tzu is ready to ride a crane down to Yangzhou, spend all the money in the Goolan tile shop, change the bride every night, and when the money is spent, Lao Tzu will be a thief again, and he will be a thief again."
Haha, in a hurry, Lao Tzu will leave first! ”
After speaking, he got up and patted his buttocks, stepped on his war horse and yelled at Taiyuan City: "Girls, Lao Tzu is here!" Hahahaha......"
The cobbler smiled, and rode his horse eastward.
Long Yangsheng was also excited, ready to get on the horse, but found that the scammer was digging up the loess that had just been filled.
"The thief of the dog's day is dead, and the gold and silver cannot be wasted......" (To be continued)
