Chapter 102 Halfway Interlude
On the second day after the execution of the case in Gulan Town, Li Liangguang explained to Liu Dapang in the form of officialdom, and then led the army to the capital.
He Dafu, a big official who escorted grain and grass, didn't want to be alone on the road anymore, and he was afraid of another accident on the road. He took his group of men and horses, carried the remaining grain and grass, followed behind Li Liangguang's army, and galloped all the way to the north.
In this way, two different teams, one in front of the other, walked on the dusty official road. Thousands of soldiers marched, hundreds of horses galloped, and the Zhaoguang sunscreen, looking like a beautiful scenery.
Li Dashuai did not object to He Dafu's approach, Bi Jing, the same dynasty as a minister, each with its own approach, each with its own tasks and missions. Walking on the same official road, it is also an extremely ordinary thing to be separated from each other. What's more, everyone is in a hurry to return to Beijing for business, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but it is safe.
Qi is strange in Li Dashuai's army to hide the important criminals of the imperial court: Li Qiusheng and four or five people such as Jin Daoke, Old Man Dong and Di Jinyan. After these prisoners were inexplicably 'punished' by Li Dashuai two days ago, they became guards with knives in front of the tent of the Chinese army, and they were extremely safe in the army of more than 3,000 people. If you are not a familiar person, it is difficult to find out among the many people who are not in the army.
A good thing is bad on the idea of Li Qiusheng, a kid, but when it's okay, this kid just provokes you to make trouble. On the third day of this march north, Li Qiusheng could not sit still in the seat of the Chinese military tent.
On this day, the army marched to the col where two mountains were narrow. Because the sky is getting late, the mountain is dangerous, and it is inconvenient to cross the mountain at night. For the sake of safety, Li Dashuai ordered the army to camp on the spot and stay overnight in front of the mountain pass.
After such an order, the army was fine. Each ministry has its own officials and generals to control the school, and there is no need for Li Dashuai to worry about this in person. However, Li Qiusheng and Di Jinyan, two young men and women, became restless as soon as they put on their military uniforms, and Qin Xiaowei Xin and his own soldiers secretly protected each other.
This night, after the two of them, Captain Qin and others had dinner, they didn't talk much, and after turning it politely, they obediently went back to the camp to sleep.
Wait until the third watch, the night is cold and dewy. Li Qiusheng only felt that his stomach began to scream and swell with 'grunt' and 'grunt', and after a while, the front chest against the back of the abdomen dried up. Hunger and waking consciousness multiplied in his brain, and when he tossed and turned, it was difficult to sleep. On the side of his head, he saw Di Jinyan, who was sleeping across the bed from him, sleeping soundly at this time, as if he was having a good dream that had been in his heart for a long time.
Li Qiusheng came to the spirit, thinking of the various wrongs of the thief mother-in-law to him in the past, and he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart. He crawled up, slowly approached Di Jinyan's ear, stretched out his hand and whispered. "Thief mother, thief mother, wake up, wake up. Let's take you to a good place. ”
Di Jinyan slept soundly, and was unexpectedly entangled by Li Qiusheng's kid, and immediately woke up, completely sleepy. She glared at Li Qiusheng angrily and said, "Boy, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what kind of crooked ideas do you want to do?" Now that we are in the barracks, we have Captain Qin to take care of him, be careful in everything, you must not harm me again. ”
"Hey, thief mother-in-law, don't move and say that I hurt you first. This time, we were so hungry that we couldn't sleep. Didn't I come to talk to you now? Li Qiusheng immediately said with a suffocating voice, and his disdainful eyes suddenly released a brilliant light.
"Ah, what's the matter with me that you're hungry? Disturb me. Di Jinyan retorted disappreciatively, as if she really didn't want to pay attention to Li Qiusheng because of her sleepiness now.
"Why is it none of your business? Now we are living in the same tent, and I will not look for you to go to anyone. Lady thief, don't talk about it, get up and go outside with me, and see if there is any special unexpected harvest in this mountain. Or grab a pheasant and other game to fill your stomach. After being categorically rejected by Di Jinyan, Li Qiusheng still did not give up and prayed. It seems that at this time, he is no longer the resolute and capable boy he used to be.
There was no way, Li Qiusheng grinded hard and soft for a while, Di Jinyan couldn't match this kid's tongue after all. As soon as my heart was crossed, I agreed.
Li Qiusheng was suddenly as happy as a very happy child, took Di Jinyan's hand, bowed his waist, walked out of the camp tent, evaded the inspection of the patrol sentinel, and flew into the big mountainside in front of him with Di Jinyan.
As soon as the two of them entered the deep forest in the night, it was as if they had entered the boundless sea, which was vast and boundless. Taking advantage of the round of moonlight revealed in the clear sky in July after the third watch, the two of them can also see things in the night. It seems that the two of them were in the small valley of Anle Village, listening to the night breeze singing and the chirping of hundreds of birds, refreshing and elegant, quiet and indifferent.
On the hot summer night of July, it is the time when the birds and animals in the mountains rise day and night. Hunger is like a law that cannot be shaken by thunder, born on these spiritual and living animals. They will also be like hungry humans in their own territory, looking for food to satisfy their hunger and thirst.
Then again, of course. For Di Jinyan, who was born as a thief in the green forest, these unique skills of catching mountain birds and beasts at night are naturally pediatric in her eyes. So after a while, Di Jinyan took Li Qiusheng to trace and walk around in the deep forest. A huge fat white rabbit jumped into the eyes of the two of them, and became their best hunting target at this time.
I saw Di Jinyan turning his head and shaking a finger, boasting to Li Qiusheng. "Boy, don't move. You just wait here and watch my unique skills. With that, he crept forward and tiptoed away.
Li Qiusheng looked around, and saw a fat white rabbit slowly running out of the grass in front of him, looking around suspiciously, as if he was undecided, should he take the next step.
Li Qiusheng suddenly stared at the fat white rabbit with wide eyes, wiping his mouth while muttering a few mouthfuls of choked saliva in his throat. Looking at him like that, it was as if the white rabbit in front of him had been captured, killed, and roasted to the fullest, just waiting for them to tear the meat and chew it.
"Tsk, tsk" two screams, and the fat white rabbit in front of him was hit by the pebble hit by Di Jinyan's flying hand. It was so painful that it rolled on the ground and struggled.
said that it was too late, it was too fast, Di Jinyan rushed up with an arrow step, and waved his hand at the rabbit's two ears. The fat white rabbit, like a well-behaved puppy, was caught high in the palm of Di Jinyan's hand. After struggling desperately for a while, he quietly stopped.
Li Qiusheng hurriedly followed, and as soon as he turned around, Di Jinyan raised the rabbit in his hand in front of him and said with a grin. "How's it going, boy? My aunt's grappling skills are not bad. You kid is really lucky, and you actually let you run into such a big guy in the middle of the night. Let's go, let's bake in a dry place. ”
Li Qiu was jerky and stunned, touched his head and smiled bitterly. "It's not that I'm blessed, it's my aunt's unique skill, and her means are clever."
"It's good to know. Say no more, let's go. Hey, I don't think my stomach is rumbling a little at this point. Di Jinyan stared at Li Qiusheng and said lightly. It seems to be charming and funny, and it seems to be a woman's unique delicate and reserved.
A bonfire is lit in the July night sky, wafting slowly to the aroma of barbecued meat. On such a moonlit night, two young people shared a free time that only belonged to them.
The moon was soon creeping westward, and the campfire was slowly extinguishing. Li Qiusheng coughed lightly, touched his swollen stomach and said. "Thank you, thank you, or my stomach will have to make an empty plan tonight. If I hadn't dragged you out, I wouldn't have known that the thief lady had such a good skill. Now, the more I look at it, the more I feel that you are like those excellent women that people say they are. ”
Li Qiusheng wanted to talk at length again, but was immediately interrupted by Di Jinyan angrily. "Hey, hey, boy, who do you say looks like a good woman? Are you flattering me? Aunts and grandmothers are not uncommon. ”
"Aha, of course it's a woman who 'can go to the hall and enter the kitchen'." Li Qiusheng's eyes flashed with a treacherous smile and said, and he lowered his head and scratched his head embarrassedly.
There was a loud "pop", and Li Qiusheng's head suddenly suffered a hard blow from Di Jinyan. Then I heard Di Jinyan scold hatefully, "Boy, let you could." Who can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen? It seems that you kid is really a big ghost, this time I will let you have a long memory, so as not to cause another incident next time and ruin people's reputation. "After that, I have to get up and chase again, so that this kid will not have a moment of respite.
At this time, I heard a roar of hatred and jealousy coming from outside the forest, "What a lively scene, you two are the deserters of that tribe?" In the middle of the night, he dared to make a noise outside Li Dashuai's camp, did he think he was impatient. They were all arrested and sent to Li Dashuai to be punished in front of the tent. With a wave of his hand, several soldiers with spears and knives came out behind him, and snatched them straight from the two of them.
Through the faint light of the fire, Li Qiusheng fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came was none other than the Liu staff general who arrested himself and Di Jinyan in Anle Village. He took a sharp breath and sighed in his heart, "It's really a narrow road, and I happened to this haunting guy again. On the other hand, he was secretly worried, afraid that this General Liu would recognize his prototype, which would affect Li Dashuai and Captain Qin's efforts to carefully plan the rescue.
The two of them were shocked, and hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and afraid of being punished, and walked forward and said in a trembling manner. “… I... Two... No, run, deserter, I... Two... Be... Qin... Captain Qin... Underling... Guards who came in person. Just because I had a stomach upset at night, I didn't want to be caught by the general just after I came out to relieve my hands. Please also ask the general to weigh and let the villain go. ”
"Ha, ha, do you think General Ben is a three-year-old child who can be teased casually. Let me ask you, you two say it's a stomach problem, but why are there so many traces of campfire smoking? And it still smells like meat. You two rats dare to be so perfunctory to this general, you are not a traitor, you must be a spy in the army. Come on, quickly tied up the two and sent them to the Chinese army's big tent for interrogation. General Liu sneered proudly, as if he didn't listen to the explanations of the two soldiers in front of him. He just wanted to follow the thoughts in his own mind, and he couldn't wait to go to the Chinese army's big tent immediately to ask for merit and reward.
As soon as several soldiers rushed forward, they tied Li Di and the others strongly. Escorted to General Liu, General Liu looked at it, and suddenly screamed, "Mom, the ghost is here!" Several soldiers were puzzled for a while, and they didn't know why General Liu suddenly reacted so violently when he saw the two of them. I had to look at General Liu who looked at them in a daze, and asked again and again. "General, what's wrong with you? Why is there such a panic and horror? ”
As if he didn't care about answering their questions, General Liu stared at the two people in front of him and said in a trembling voice. "Li Qiusheng, are you a human or a ghost? You, haven't you been beheaded by Li Dashuai in public? Why, why is it alive here? And, moreover, still wearing our military uniforms? ”
Li Qiusheng seemed to have realized the seriousness of the problem, and deliberately raised his head and pretended to ask. "Who, who is Li Qiusheng? I do not know. The villain's name is Chen Ergou, his name is Li Jingui, the two of us are the old and young who play together, and they are also good partners who came to Captain Qin's subordinates to serve as soldiers. ”
Di Jinyan heard that Li Qiusheng temporarily gave herself the name of Li Jingui, and stared at Li Qiusheng with hatred and said slyly. "Yes, General. What Chen Ergou said was the truth, we didn't deceive the general. If the general doesn't believe it, let's go to Captain Qin's account to distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise, the general slandered us like this, and we were the key criminals of the imperial court, Li Qiusheng and Di Thief, wouldn't the general be intercepting and framing Captain Qin? I'm afraid something is wrong. Captain Qin is the celebrity in front of Li Dashuai, the general slanders others like this, if Captain Qin fights against you, how can Li Dashuai allow him to frame others. ”
At this time, General Liu looked at the two of them again, as if he had returned to his soul. I thought about it for a while, and then I comforted myself with relief. "Well, it seems a bit similar, but Li Qiusheng obviously cut off his head from the quilt. How could Li Dashuai forgive a court criminal and a nest of thieves? It must be that I am too worried, my old eyes are dizzy, and I look at people wrongly. ”
"Oh, that's it, that's it. No matter what, let's send it to the Chinese military tent and be interrogated by Li Dashuai. General Liu finally dispelled the mustard in his heart in his doubts, and he thought that it would be better to hand over these two people to Li Dashuai for trial in person than to intervene himself. In the future, whether there is a mistake or not, I will be able to keep myself alone. In this way, it is not Captain Qin's.
As soon as the idea was calculated, General Liu said with a smile on his face. "Let's go, send them to the Chinese military tent." The soldiers who followed immediately shouted a few times, and then escorted Li and Di to the Chinese military tent.
