Chapter 243: Li Zhong's Old Acquaintance
was stopped by Li Hao, and Zhang Qi and the others had a bad seizure, so they could only sit back down.
Li Hao stared at the old man tightly, and said slowly: "Before coming here, I also had doubts about whether there was sweat and blood hidden in the mountain. But the old housekeeper of my family told me a story, saying that General Tianbao led the Xiaoguo army to fight with the Tang Dynasty, and finally lost and retreated, and the remaining Xiaoguo quietly hid a group of pure blood sweat and blood horses in the mountains in order to follow. It's a pity that the Li family is powerful, and soon overthrew the rule of the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, and this batch of sweaty horses is gone. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, your predecessors should be the Xiaoguo army that guards this batch of sweaty BMWs, right?"
The old man was taken aback, stood up from the ground, and subconsciously grasped the short knife at his waist. A murderous aura permeated the surroundings, firmly locking on Li Hao.
Although Zhang Qi and the others are not warriors, they live in the mountains and forests all year round and are keen on things like murderous aura. immediately drew his weapon and blocked it in front of Li Hao.
The two sides confronted each other, the sabre rattling, and the atmosphere stiffened to the extreme for a while.
"Don't be rude to your seniors, step down!" Li Hao scolded in a serious tone.
Zhang Qi and the others hesitated for a moment, but still put away their weapons and retreated to the side.
Li Hao took the lead in showing goodwill, the atmosphere in the stone house eased a lot, and the old man also frowned and sat back down.
"Don't bring up the old things, the Xiaoguo army that used to be a powerful side is gone, and I'm just an old guy in his last years. I hope you will remember that my granddaughter saved your life, and do not leak our whereabouts! ”
The Xiaoguo Army was once the most difficult enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and if its whereabouts were exposed, it would inevitably lead to the disaster of killing, and it was no wonder that the old man would take his granddaughter to hide in this deep mountain, and had little contact with the outside world.
Li Hao shrugged: "Senior, don't worry, I am not a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally I will not get involved in the affairs between you." ”
"Not the people of the Tang Dynasty?" The old man froze again.
Since the establishment of the empire in the Tang Dynasty, the land of the Tang Dynasty is full of Tang people, Li Hao has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and he dares to say that he is not a Tang person?
Zhang Qi hurriedly said: "Our Lijiazhuang broke away from the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty as early as a year ago and became a country of its own. This matter has long spread all over the world, and if the seniors don't believe it, they can go out and ask. ”
Break away from Datang and become a country of its own?
The old man was completely stunned, and even began to wonder if he was dreaming? Or is it that he has been out of the world for too long, and he has not known the vicissitudes of life outside, and he has completely changed the world.
announced their separation from the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and established their own country, and the saints must not behead them all over the house today!
But surprise is surprise, the old man didn't pay much attention to this matter, after all, these things have nothing to do with him. What he was more concerned about at the moment was that the Xiaoguo Army secretly brought the sweaty horses to this inaccessible mountain range, and the actions were very secretive, and few people knew at all, who told Li Hao the whereabouts of their sweaty horses?
"Dare to ask this owner Li Hao, who is the old butler who told you that story, how could he know what happened decades ago?"
"The old housekeeper of Li Jiazhuang is named Li Zhong, if I guess correctly, the predecessor should be his old friend Yu Wenqi!"
"Brother Li Zhong!" As soon as he heard this name, the old man could no longer keep his calm, he leaned forward and asked eagerly, "Where is Brother Li Zhong now, is he okay?" ”
Li Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, this time the bet was right, this old man was really the friend that Li Zhong helped when he was young.
Before coming here, Li Hao felt that Li Zhong was a little weird, and inexplicably asked himself to come here to find an old hunter, and said that he would definitely be able to help. When Li Hao asked, Li Zhong, who had always had no reservations about himself, was silent and refused to tell the identity of this friend.
Even he couldn't tell where this friend lived now, and it seemed that he hadn't seen him in years.
Just now the old man was emotional when he saw the map in Li Hao's hand, and saw that he burned the map directly, Li Hao had a guess in his heart, the reason why Li Zhong was even more reluctant to say the identity of this friend was that the identity of this friend was very sensitive and could not exist in the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, Li Zhong is very convinced that the friends in his mouth will definitely be able to help find the bloody BMW.
So Li Hao boldly speculated that Li Zhong's friend must be a member of the Xiaoguo Army back then.
There is no timing evidence to support this speculation, and Li Hao is also gambling again.
With so many wild animals in the mountains, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack without the help of the locals.
Just now, Li Hao handed over the map to the old man so happily, in order to use the map as a bargaining chip to see the old man's reaction. If you don't make the right bet this time, then this map is a wasted ride.
Now the identity of the old man has been confirmed, he is Xiaoguojun, and he also received the favor of Li Zhong back then. With him as a client, the map is not so important.
Thinking of this, Li Hao's mood instantly became happy.
"Li Zhong is very good, now he is the housekeeper of Lijiazhuang, and his status in the village is only below me."
Knowing that his benefactor was still good, Yu Wenqi burst into tears with excitement. He clasped his hands together and looked in the direction of Chang'an.
"Great, great, Brother Li Zhong is safe and sound, dead brothers, you can also rest assured!"
When Li Hao and the others saw him like this, they looked at each other a little.
Li Zhong just told Li Hao lightly that he had helped Yuwenqi when he was young, but judging from the old man's reaction, this favor seemed to have helped a lot at the beginning.
After a long time, Yu Wenqi calmed down, he wiped away his tears, and personally served Li Hao and them a bowl of soup.
"It's cool in the mountains, you have been fighting with the wolf king for a long time, drink some soup to drive away the cold."
Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhong's name was said, Yu Wenqi's attitude immediately softened. He reminisced about the past, and his tone was full of emotion.
"At that time, the Xiaoguo army and the Tang army fought to the death for several months, and after all, the enemy was defeated, and the brothers died and fled, and when we gathered the troops from the new, there were only three hundred horsemen left. At that time, we were besieged in a farm on the west side of Chang'an City, and we were about to lose it. At that time, we were all desperate, thinking about simply rushing out and fighting with the Tang army that surrounded us. ”
"At this moment, Brother Li Zhong appeared, he and I were friends in the same village, and he couldn't bear to see us die, so he took us to the path to break through. Heaven has mercy, but we really rushed out. It's a pity that the situation was settled at that time, the Li family's army had completely captured Chang'an, and we could meet the army that surrounded us wherever we went, so we could only run around like headless flies. ”
"In one of the encounters, we and Brother Li Zhong were scattered, and in order to cover our escape, he set fire to a forest to attract the attention of the Li family's army. We were already out of order, and we had to run desperately. By the time he reacted, he couldn't find Brother Li Zhong anymore. ”
"The captain asked me to take a small group of people to bring the sweaty horses here to hide, and I took a large army back to find Brother Li Zhong. I never came back. ”
"In the years that followed, we also risked our lives to go out to find Brother Li Zhong and the captain. The news that can be obtained is that not long after the captain and his party separated from us, they were surrounded and annihilated by the Li family's army, and Li Zhong's eldest brother was charged with collaborating with the enemy, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead. ”
