Chapter 105: The Old Man
Chapter 105: The Old Man
In the middle of the night, above Weishui, a faint smell of blood has spread on the cold water, because the forbidden army of the palace front division who guarded Zeng Du has been detained in Gongyi County, and only the people in his mansion are left who follow Zeng Du to return to the east, otherwise they will not take the waterway.
At this time, these people were trapped for a day, and the three envoys were depressed, everyone was originally out of Beijing to show off their might, but now they were beaten head-on in Gongyi County.
The quiet killing did not last long, when Zeng Du dreamed in a dream that he held the authority of Great Qin, there was no one who dared to rebel in the court, and the scenery was infinite, he only felt a pain in his heart, and in an instant, all the beautiful dreams of Huangliang were all nothing, and quietly, this upstart who suddenly rose in the court was lost in the water and became that confused ghost.
The lights flashed, the three ferries set off quietly, and after traveling for several miles, the black shadows on the boats jumped into the water one after another, climbed onto the shore, and watched the three-day boats gradually sink into the water, and everyone left like ghosts in the night, but no one noticed it, and in one night, dozens of lives disappeared without a trace......
Zhao Shi took people back to the woods, changed into wet clothes, the sky was already bright, everyone had blue lips and white faces, and the color of exhaustion was even more difficult to hide, most of these people belonged to landlubbers, although they were forced by Zhao Shi to barely learn to plane in the clear stream, but they tossed for a night, twice into the water, Rao is that they are strong and have extraordinary endurance, and they are also sleepy at this time. After allocating the alert manpower, they all fell asleep, so that Zhao Shi shook his head secretly in his heart, these people are still far from the appearance of the elite soldiers he imagined, but they have only been less than two years, and in this era of cold weapons, there are not so many advanced equipment available, and it is generally satisfactory.
After this. Zhao Shi led the people as before, Xiaosu traveled at night, returned to Fengxiang according to the original way, and then changed into the uniform of the forbidden army, and went to the direction of Qingyang openly, if it is in modern times, there must be loopholes in the whereabouts, but at this time. Although it was a few days apart, no one would pay much attention to such a time difference, and besides, when the case happened, I don't know how long it would be. There is no one who remembers them, let alone let them say exactly the days they and others have passed, and one is a member of the third rank of the imperial court. One is a small forbidden army brigade commander, and the relationship between the eight poles can't be beaten, if someone thinks about it, it's really a genius, isn't it?
The death or disappearance of a high-ranking official is bound to cause a sensation in the court, and this person is involved in the case of King Jing's assassination, and there are many smart people in the court, it is not difficult to imagine their thoughts. One is King Jing's personal revenge, this possibility is there, but as long as you scrutinize it carefully, it will be skipped by smart people, no matter how stupid people are, they will not make a move to chase and kill people when the other party has the handle in their hands.
In these two cases, it is natural that someone is going to kill people, who is the spearhead pointed at? Naturally, it was the one who sent the killer, and it depended on whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was secretive enough. If someone grabs the handle. It's not going to be easy in the future.
After leading people around Qingyang, Zhao Shi left the others outside the city. He took a few people into Qingyang City, and casually found an inn to live in, and asked Du Shanhu to find some of his former military colleagues to chat casually for a few days, Zhao Shi just wanted to make a show for people to see, where did he think, when Du Shanhu came back, he really brought back some people to spread the word, and there were not one or two who were willing to leave the Xianfeng Army, and some people regretted that they had not made up their minds to leave Qingyang with Du Shanhu and others. Neither the prestige nor the power in the Qingyang army can be compared with fledgling young people like Li Jinhua and Li Wu, and they naturally don't want to see a wealthy family like the Li family grow bigger in the town army, suppressing and squeezing out everywhere, and another one, after the Qingyang mutiny, the Xianfeng Army and several other armies already have suspicions, and now the relationship is even more comparable.
But as a town army, they are different from the people who were injured and retired before, it is impossible to leave, most of the people just want to find a way out of Du Shanhu, as for those who really want to come, they can't go in a moment and a half, all Du Shanhu can do is just write down the names of these people.
However, for Zhao Shi, this is also an unexpected gain, and things are not in a hurry, and he stayed here for a few days, but at the head of the third day, a person who made Zhao Shi a little unexpected came to the door.
When this rather tired middle-aged man stood in front of Zhao Shi, both of them froze, looked at each other for a moment, remembering the last time the two met, all the words were said to the scene, Zhao Shi's eyes flashed, I don't know what this person wanted to say at this time, as for Li Shu, he sighed in his heart, he only heard that Du Shanhu was coming, but he didn't think that he came with this young man, looking at the two years in front of him, his body became more and more burly and majestic, although his face still had some childishness of the year, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, The majestic young man is gradually becoming more and more complicated than Zhao Shilai.
However, when I saw Du Shanhu standing next to Zhao Shi, I was also surprised in my heart, how could these two people who couldn't fight together be together?
"Hehe...... smiled awkwardly, and glanced at Du Shanhu in a complicated way, "It turns out that Brother Zhao is also here, Brother Du, we haven't seen each other for a long time, are you still proud?" ”
It's okay if he doesn't ask, this question, Zhao Shizhi didn't feel anything, no matter who was right and wrong in the past, it was already in the past in his heart, and he didn't take it to heart, but Du Shanhu was different, he stayed in Qingyang for seven years, and once he was forced to leave, he didn't have the slightest good impression of the people of the Li family in his heart, and he remembered Li Jinhua's kindness when he was willing to save the remnants of their Xianfeng Army. But when he killed Li Yanzu, he did his best, and carried a big black pot for Li Jinhua, which can be regarded as repaying the debt, plus the killer sent to Zhaojiazhuang by the Li family before, now that he sees Li Shu, what kind of face can he have.
He sneered and said, "What do I have to be proud of?" Because Lord Li still called us brothers, we didn't dare to be very serious. Look at Lord Li's official uniform, tsk, I haven't seen him for two years and he is also a captain, and he has been promoted so quickly, one of us is a brigade commander, and the other is a team leader, where do we dare to call Lord Li a brother? ”
Li Shu's face was flushed, although his heart was full of anger. But in the face of the two people in front of him, he was annoyed and couldn't get angry, and finally he just sighed and said, "This is because my general sent me to see Du ...... General's, I just didn't expect Lvshuai Zhao to be ......"
was ridiculed by Du Shanhu. This brother couldn't speak out, and when he said this, he hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Dare to ask where General Du is serving now?" Come to Qingyang, but do you have a business trip? ”
The two men in front of him were smart people. As soon as he heard what he said, he understood his intention, Du Shanhu laughed, and when he saw that Zhao Shi didn't mean to answer, he immediately said: "When Master Li really thinks about our friendship, let's see the old man...... Hehe, don't hide it from Lord Li, we came to Qingyang just to meet some of our former comrades in the army, just to chat, and to make Lord Li such a nervous way. What a sin. ”
Li Shu was expressionless at this time, and he didn't care about his cynicism, and said in a deep voice at this time: "My general was going to ask General Du himself, but he was busy with business and it was inconvenient to leave without permission, so he sent Li Shu to pass on a message, two years ago, my general was outside, and when he came back, he realized that the general had been wronged." has left his job. Every time my general thinks about it, he feels sorry for the general's ......."
Du Shanhu shook his head. interrupted his words, "If Lord Li is here to say this, please go back, it doesn't matter who is right and wrong, and it doesn't matter who is right and wrong in what happened back then, and it is not a word that can make everyone feel at ease, and if General Li is afraid that Du Shanhu will come to Qingyang this time to demolish the ...... of the front army."
Speaking of this, it was Zhao Shi who interjected and said, "Lord Li, please go back, let's leave Qingyang." "Zhao Shi had already inquired when he entered the city, Li Wu was not in Qingyang, otherwise he would not have personally entered the dangerous place of Qingyang City, and now let Li Shu come to the door, although it was a little unexpected for him to come to the door, but the effect was better, he didn't plan to hide his whereabouts here, as for Li Jinhua, a person in his twenties, his temperament is still strong and resolute, but his heart is weak, and he lacks some bearing and determination, otherwise that kind of thing would not have happened two years ago, and he would not have asked Li Shu to come to see him. I won't show my face all the time.
"Master Li, we won't send it, please."
Having said that, Li Shu has nothing to say, Xianfengjun is now disheartened and morale is low, when he heard that Du Shanhu came here as if he wanted to recruit people, the uneasiness in his heart can be imagined, so he hurried over, but he didn't expect to meet Zhao Shi.
His lips squirmed a few times, and finally he just hugged his fists, turned around and went out.
Du Shanhu looked at his back, but he didn't do anything boring like spitting and scolding a few more sentences, but his face was not very good-looking, Ren was very open-minded and straightforward, and he couldn't stand to see that his friends were going to be questioned, so his mood was naturally not so good.
Zhao Shi didn't say much, called a few people who entered the city together, cleaned up a little, and then checked out and went out of the city, until this time, this trip can be regarded as an end.
What Zhao Shi didn't expect was that half an hour after they left the inn, the sound of horses' hooves on the street, the two horses galloped, and when they arrived at the door of the inn, the two of them pulled the reins at the same time, and the war horse suddenly stopped, and raised their heads and neighed, and before the horse's hooves landed, one of them had already rolled the saddle and dismounted, threw the reins of the horse into the hands of another person, and came to the door of the inn, but at this time, the footsteps stopped and stopped, until the other person tied the horse and followed, and then entered the inn together.
This kind of momentum was seen in the eyes of Xiao Er, who dared to slack off, and immediately greeted him and said attentively: "The guest officer wants to live...... Ah, it's you, the military master, you're not ......"
The person who came was Li Shu, who went and returned, and Li Shu glanced at his own young lady who was pale and a little distracted. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, Li Jinhua's expression was not very good, not to mention her face, there was a sickly flush in her paleness, only after a short journey, she saw sweat on her forehead, and her body was a little shaky, and she didn't belong to her mind. Compared with the gentle and heroic spirit two years ago, it looks extraordinarily delicate.
Li Shu grew up watching Li Jinhua since he was a child, and now looking at her like this, he can't help but feel a little distressed, Li Jinhua is sick during this time, since Xianfengjun fell into her hands, don't talk about that cousin, the days in Qingyang are not as good as those in Beijing. However, although he is a deputy general, he never cares about military affairs, but there is a father of the military department above, but the constraints on Li Jinhua are getting bigger and bigger, and he is at fault in the book. She was also stuck in the military department, and she never heard back, she worked alone day and night, and several other generals in Qingyang Town were very protective of their Li family. is suppressed everywhere, and her days can be imagined.
As soon as the new army is completed, it has to coordinate all aspects of things, and it has to train the new army, and it has to prevent the boy from messing around, fatigue and mental depression, and this disease is coming.
I heard Li Shubao say that Du Shanhu came to Qingyang, and he also tested many people in many ways. It is inevitable that there is some uneasiness in my heart, those veterans of the Xianfeng Army can be said to be the foundation of the new army today, if they all come to such a picky and quit, then it will be worth it.
Thinking like this, she immediately ordered Li Shu to go to find Du Shanhu, but she didn't expect to see Zhao Shi, and when she heard this name that haunted her soul, she had no choice but to do it two years ago. I just felt that I didn't have the face to see each other again. But after two years, I always think of the benefits of the other party. The meaning of this heart is getting deeper and deeper, and when I dream back at midnight, I can always see the shadow of the other party, and now at first glance, I heard that the other party actually came to Qingyang, even if the body is weak, but where is it still pressed, even the pro-soldier did not bring one and rushed over, as for what to say when I met, how to deal with it, she didn't even think about it, but when it came, her heart was more and more hesitant .......
"They live in the backyard of the inn, shall we go over here?" Seeing Li Jinhua standing there without moving, Li Shu couldn't help but say.
Li Jinhua took a long breath, unconsciously combed her hair, bit her teeth, and made up her mind in her heart, no matter how wrong she was before, but this time she couldn't be wrong, even if she begged softly, it was okay to kneel down for him, and this time she must leave him in Qingyang, by his side......
But before she could speak, the shopkeeper next to her had already spoken, "Master Jun, are you looking for those people?" Those people have been walking for almost half an hour, and they are probably out of the city by this time......"
Hearing this, Li Jinhua shook her head, and then turned around and left, and when Li Shu chased out, she had already untied the reins and turned over on the horse, and chased straight in the direction of the city gate, but when the two of them went out of the city gate one after the other, where could they still see the shadow of Zhao Shi and others, Li Jinhua was not dead, galloped up a hill, raised his eyes, the four fields were vast, no one was seen, Li Jinhua only felt as if his heart and lungs had exploded, the pain was terrible, his eyes were sore, and tears had flowed down involuntarily, "Go, really go." He won't even see me......"
Then Li Shu, who chased after her, saw her lost soul, and his heart was also extremely uncomfortable, and his heart was a little abrupt, but it was more of a worry about his own young lady, but he didn't know how to persuade him, and after a long time, he whispered: "Miss, they have gone far, your body still needs to be cultivated, let's go back......"
Li Jinhua turned a deaf ear, and stood here for more than an hour before silently turning the horse's head, and the two turned back on the horse......
