It was noon, the scorching sun was shining overhead, the cicadas on the roadside were restless, the army was walking slowly on the official road, the team stretched for several miles, there were tens of thousands of people, seeing the team coming, those who were blocking the front of the team on the official road, the horses, horses and pedestrians, all hurriedly gave way to the official road, let the army pass first, many people looked at the army team on the side, and couldn't help whispering.

"What do you call this, fight for a while and don't fight for a while, the team is transferred around, isn't this a toss?" In a tea shed on the side of the road, several merchants who were sitting and drinking tea and resting looked at the army walking outside the tea shed, and one of them couldn't help but sigh.

"What do you know, the Black Corn people on the Gulang Grassland are fighting with the Seven Divisions of the Shatu Sect, let them eat the dog, why do we have to rush to the Ancient Wave Grassland to take chestnuts in the fire for the Seven Divisions of the Desert Rush, shed our blood and fight with the Black Tigers, even if the Black Men are finally defeated, the Gulang Grassland is still occupied by those white-eyed wolves of the Seven Divisions of the Desert Plateau, this loss-making business must not be done, this army is withdrawn, no one in the army wants to fight for the Seven Divisions of the Desert, and there are complaints everywhere, and now it is just right to withdraw, you look at the faces of those officers and soldiers outside, where you can see the appearance of half a sad look, it is almost singing！”

"Since you want to withdraw now, why did you say that you want to fight in the first place?"

"Haha, isn't this a traitor in the court, it was the traitor Lin Qingtian who advocated the use of troops against the Gulang grassland, now it's okay, the traitor met and stabbed to death, now the court is clean up, naturally we can't do stupid things anymore, let's pay for the blood to make those wolf cubs in the seven parts of Shatu happy, haven't you heard, then the Anxi general Wei Wuji was arrested by the Qin sent by the imperial court a few days ago, and the army sent to Pingxi County was naturally ordered to withdraw, where did it come from, like the team outside, it is from Lanzhou, and naturally it has to go back to Lanzhou......”

A few merchants were talking under the tea shed, and naturally they didn't notice that not far from them, a young man who looked like a teenager was sitting at a table, drinking herbal tea and eating watermelon to cool off, while listening to them with great interest, and from time to time looked at the army of people passing through the official road outside the tea shed.

This young man is Yan Liqiang, Yan Liqiang at this moment, has recovered his original figure and appearance, but because he is wearing an ordinary gray cloth clothes and has no entourage around him, he is naturally not noticeable.

Today is the 18th of June, a few days ago, after learning that the Anxi general Wei Wuji was arrested, and the situation in the northwest and Ganzhou changed greatly, Yan Liqiang, who had been looking for a master in Canglong Mountain to "heal" because of "going mad", naturally "recovered", and then said goodbye to Cui Lichen, and immediately set off to return to Pingxi County alone.

This time Lin Qingtian was "assassinated", His Majesty the Emperor returned to the power of the imperial court, and many officials who were originally around Lin Qingtian naturally collapsed into the collapse of the army, and the officials who took refuge in Lin Qingtian before did it either changed their ways, or were liquidated by His Majesty the Emperor, especially the backbone officials of Lin Qingtian's party, who were arrested one by one, killed, and fled, and the situation of the entire Han Empire changed.

In May, Gu Chunyi, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, was beheaded by His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial capital for a number of serious crimes, and the secretary of the Ministry of War "died of illness" in prison In June, the imperial court's liquidation of the prime minister party was extended to the locality, and a few months ago it was still beautiful, and the arrogant envoy was ready to take Yan Liqiang to open the knife, and then took 300,000 troops to the Gulang grassland to expel Wei Wuji, who was naturally taken down, and in addition to Wei Wuji, in the officialdom of the northwest, at the same time, there was also the former northwest transfer envoy Jiang Tianhua.

After taking these two people, the imperial court's plan to use troops in the Gulang Grassland was naturally abandoned.

Even if Lin Qingtian was fine, the imperial court's previous plan to send troops to the Gulang Grassland would probably have to be stopped. Because of the imperial capital at this time, it is precisely because of the heavenly catastrophe predicted by the stone turtle is in tension and turmoil, His Majesty the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are already thinking about moving the capital at this time, and in addition to moving the capital, the migration and resettlement of the millions of people in the imperial capital and the land of Jinggi is the real test of the imperial courtAs for the battle between the Shatu Seven Divisions and the Black Men on the Gulang Grassland, it is estimated that before the two sides completely divide the victory or defeat, the imperial court will ignore it and prepare to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

As soon as he "died", Yan Liqiang found that the situation of the entire Han Empire, especially his own situation and the situation in the northwest, suddenly became clear, and many problems were solved at once, and many of the restraints that had restrained him before seemed to be gone.

It seems that no matter where or what era, solving the core person who created the problem is the fastest way to solve the problem, Yan Liqiang drank tea while muttering in his heart, this time to solve Lin Qingtian, he also reluctantly made a contribution, and it can be regarded as a silent contribution to the Han Empire, and there is an honor.

The situation in front of him seems to be very good, but Yan Liqiang is only a little relieved, and he can't really relax and be happy, Yan Liqiang always has a shadow in his heart, because he knows that Lin Qingtian is not actually dead, and Lin Qingtian's real identity is not even a person at all, at this moment, Lin Qingtian doesn't know where to hide and lick his wounds, and in the Han Empire, and even outside the Han Empire, I don't know how many demons like Lin Qingtian there are, and I don't know what to do......

Unconsciously, Yan Liqiang was a little absorbed in his thoughts.

......

"Boss, come to a pot of herbal tea, by the way, how do you sell this watermelon?"

I don't know when, a voice suddenly appeared in Yan Liqiang's ears, hearing this voice, Yan Liqiang shook slightly, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the counter of the tea shed on his right - a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old who was sweating profusely and fat had just come to the tea shed to rest, and was asking the price of the shopkeeper at the counter, looking at the pile of watermelons behind the counter, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

I haven't seen him for many years, and this young man's voice has become a little rougher, but in Yan Liqiang's ears, it is still so familiar and cordial.

Yan Liqiang stood up all of a sudden and shouted, "Su Chang......"

Hearing someone call his name, the young man turned his head and saw Yan Liqiang at a glance, in an instant, the young man's mouth was like a duck egg, and his eyes were round all of a sudden, the young man also rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, after finding that everything in front of him was real, the young man shouted happily, "Liqiang......"
