Chapter 45: Arriving in Beijing

Li Beixiang and Li Donglai sat on their horses and looked up at the tall city wall in front of them.

"Jingshi, we have finally arrived. Li Beixiang looked at the city wall in front of him, which was taller than Shuodong County, and couldn't help but admire.

"yes, we're finally here. Li Donglai was also full of emotion.

"The two sons, since the two sons have arrived in Jingshi safely, then we will go back. Thursday, Friday, and Friday sat on the horse and said to the Li brothers.

"Then you go back, after you go back, remember to bring a message to Lao Chai, I am waiting for him in Jingshi. Li Beixiang waved his hand casually.

"Yes, Childe. ”

The two left Li Beixiang and Li Donglai with hundreds of followers, and walked the way they came.

"Big brother, let's go into the city. Li Bei rode his horse towards the capital.

"Driving"

Li Donglai followed Li Beixiang into the capital.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Li Beixiang felt that his eyes were not enough.

The roads in the entire capital are very wide, about 200 steps wide, and the road surface is all paved with bluestone slabs, which looks extremely smooth.

There are trees every ten steps on both sides of the road, and the lush greenery adds a lot of color to the road.

There are many hawkers on both sides of the road, which is very prosperous.

The houses on both sides of the road are lined up one after another, and the wide road leads into the distance.

"Jingshi is really prosperous. Li Beixiang looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but admire.

"yes, it's really prosperous. This is not comparable to our Shuodong County and Jingshi at all. Li Donglai sat on the horse and looked at the street with a puzzled face.

"Big brother, where are we going now?" Li Bei turned his head and suddenly asked.

Li Donglai thought for a while, and said: "Our Shuodong Li Jiajun will arrange spies in each county town to facilitate the transmission of news, and this is naturally no exception in Jingshi, let's just go there." ”

"Big brother, do you know where it is?" asked Li Beixiang curiously.

Li Donglai smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I know, before leaving, my father told me the exact location of those strongholds." I've got drawings with me. ”

Li Donglai took out a map made of sheepskin from his bosom and held it in his hand.

Li Dong glanced at the map, pointed in a direction casually, and then said, "Go straight along this road." ”

After Li Dong finished speaking, he put away the map, rode his horse and walked in the direction he pointed just now.

Li Beixiang followed behind Li Donglai and walked in that direction.

"Tiger Dart Game. ”

Li Beixiang stopped at the door of a courtyard and raised his head to look at the plaque on the gate.

"Let's go, this is it. Li Donglai patted Li Beixiang on the shoulder and urged Li Bei to go in.

"Oooh"

The two turned over and dismounted, and as soon as they led the horses to the gate, two powerful men rushed over.

"Are you two darts or are you hired?" said one of the big bearded men when he saw the two of them.

Li Beixiang led the horse and looked at the man in front of him.

I saw that this man was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, and his strong arms were exposed.

His hair was haphazardly fixed with a straw rope, and his face was full of flesh and beard.

Looks like a sturdy fighter.

"No, we're looking for someone. Li Donglai said lightly.

"Dare to ask who the two sons are looking for?" asked the bearded man.

"Looking for your leader, he said that he was from Shuodong County. Li Beixiang looked at his beard and said casually.

"Wait here, and I'll go and deliver a message to you. ”

The bearded man walked in again with another person.

It didn't take much effort to get a middle-aged man eight feet tall and dressed in a black robe.

"Dare to ask who the two are......" The man saw Li Beixiang and Li Donglai, and asked suspiciously.

"I think you should know who I am. Li Beixiang said indifferently.

The man looked at Li Beixiang and couldn't see anything for a long time, so he asked again: "Please forgive me for being clumsy, I really can't see what the two of you are doing." ”

"I can't see this, forget it, it's not hard for you. Li Beixiang took out his seal from his arms and handed it to the man.

Li Donglai also took out his seal and handed it to the man.

The man took two seals and looked at them carefully in his hands.

I saw that one of the seals was a tiger's head and the other was a wolf's head.

The two seals are carved lifelike, and they are both carved from the finest jade.

Put it in your hand, and a cool feeling is born.

The bottom of one seal is engraved with the character north, and the other is engraved with the character east.

When the man saw me here, he didn't understand what it meant.

So he hurriedly handed over the seal to Li Beixiang and Li Donglai.

He lowered his head and said to the two: "This is not the place to talk, please invite the two sons to come in and talk." ”

Li Beixiang and Li Donglai were taken into the courtyard by the man.

As soon as I entered the yard. Li Beixiang saw the people and horses who were practicing.

Some are holding stone locks, some are playing with sticks, and some are practicing knife skills.

"Childe, please take a seat. The man led the two to the main hall and saluted them.

Li Beixiang smiled faintly and said, "Big brother is seated, I'll just sit down." ”

After all, Li Donglai is Li Duanjiang's eldest son, and it is understandable to sit in the first place.

After the two of them sat down, the man stood in the hall, knelt down on one knee and said, "The Eagle Falcon Camp of the Li Family Army in Shuodong has a thousand households under the jurisdiction of the King of Thousands of Households, and the fourth prince has seen the eldest son. ”

Li Donglai, who was sitting in the first place, stroked it and said, "Wang Qianhu doesn't need to be polite, hurry up." ”

"Thank you, Childe. Wang Qi stood up and said: "There are a total of 1,300 people in the Eagle Falcon Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Li Family Army in Shuodong, and there are currently 400 people in Beijing. ”

The Eagle Falcon Battalion is the name of the spies arranged by the Li Jiajun in Shuodong in each county town. The meaning of the Eagle Falcon Camp is to hope that they will be as good at detecting and delivering information as the Eagle Falcon.

As the capital of the Tianyang Sect, Jingshi is naturally the focus of the Li Jiajun in Shuodong. Therefore, a thousand households and more than 1,000 people were arranged here in Beijing.

At the same time, it is also the contact point for people from the Li family army in Shuodong to travel to and from Beijing.

Li Beixiang sat on the chair, took out a folding fan out of nowhere, he shook the fan Qingpingle, and said, "It's okay, after all, we didn't inform you either." Saying so much is a bit of an outrage. ”

"Thank you, Childe Haihan. Wang Qi arched his hand.

"Are all the 400 people in the capital here? I don't think there are 400 people in this courtyard. Li Dong looked at Wang Qi and said with some curiosity.

"Back to the eldest prince, there are only a hundred people in the courtyard, and the rest are not in the city, but in the headquarters outside the city. This is just the place where we find out and do business. There are only so many people here on weekdays. Wang Qi patiently explained.

"Oh, that's right. Then let me ask you, has Jingshi had any unusual reactions in the past few days?" asked Li Beixiang, shaking his fan.

"Unusual reaction? It doesn't seem to be true. It's just that it's been very quiet in the Jingshi these days, and there is no news coming. Wang Qi arched his hand.

"Alright, so be it. Li Donglai waved his hand and signaled that Wang Qi could go down.

"No"

Wang Qi turned and left.

"Wait a minute!"

At the moment when Wang Qi turned around, Li Beixiang stopped Wang Qi.

"Fourth son, what else is going on?"

"It's not a big deal, you arrange a few good hands for me to be my bodyguards and my eldest brother's bodyguards. The water in this place in Kyoshi is deep and unsafe. Li Beixiang was scared by the two assassinations, if he didn't know when another man in black would appear to kill him, it would be a bad second.

"Okay, I'll arrange it. ”

Looking at the back of Wang Qi leaving, Li Beixiang fell into deep thought, this shouldn't be, the person who went to assassinate me and my eldest brother was obviously the person sent out by Elder Cheng, this doesn't make sense, how could Jingshi not have any news.

Li Beixiang was thinking nonsense, but Wang Qi's voice came from his ears.

"Two sons, the people have already been arranged. ”

Li Bei looked up and found six or seven people standing in the middle of the hall.

"Oh, is that all there are these people? Tell me, what kind of strength they have, what specialties they have. Li Beixiang said.

"Back to the fourth prince, these are all our good hands here, their average cultivation is the first layer of the foundation building period, the highest is the first layer of the foundation building period, and the lowest is the ninth layer of the qi refining period. It's best to arrange it in front of the two sons. ”

Wang Qi introduced them one by one.

"Alright, let's do this. Li Beixiang glanced at these people casually, and felt that it was okay, although it was not as good as Lao Chai, but it was not bad.

"No"

The six or seven sturdy men who followed Wang Qi were all overjoyed when they heard Li Beixiang's words.

Being able to follow the two sons is a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes, and for them, they are even happier than cultivating for a breakthrough.

"All right, go down. Oh, by the way, be my brother's bodyguard, you can't be so shabby, here is a silver ticket of a thousand taels of silver, take it, buy a decent dress for each brother, so as not to lose face for me and my eldest brother. Li Beixiang took out a few silver tickets from his arms, walked up to Wang Qi, and stuffed them into Wang Qi's hands.

The few men who followed Wang Qi were very moved when they saw Li Beixiang take out so much silver and buy clothes for them.

"I am willing to die for my son. Several strong men knelt on the ground together and shouted loudly.

"Alright, get up. Li Bei stroked it and said casually.

"Thank you, Childe. ”

In the Tianyang Sect, everyone values love and righteousness more than anything else, and they believe in the concept that if a gentleman treats me, I will repay him with a gentleman.

For Li Beixiang, this thousand taels of silver may not be nothing, but for these men who don't understand the truth, this is the grace of knowing each other.

"Okay, you go down first, today you hurry up and finish your outfits, and tomorrow you will follow me and my eldest brother to participate in the selection of that elite disciple. ”

Li Bei turned around and waved his hand casually.

"No"

Wang Qi left the lobby with a few people.

"Big brother, when exactly did the selection of elite disciples start?" Li Bei looked at Li Donglai and asked suspiciously.
