Chapter 185: Veteran Oil
In the chat of a few words, Li Qinzai was secretly observing Liu Renliang.
Grandpa's enemy or something was put aside, and Li Qinzai found that Liu Renliang belonged to a strange type of person in the court.
Liu Renliang is the history of Qingzhou Thorn, the same Zhongshu Sect under the three products, he fought with Li Yifu back then, did not win, and was relegated to Qingzhou as a thorn history.
Liu Renliang belongs to the kind of people who can't rub sand in their eyes, and firmly believe that only when the water is clear can there be fish, a typical perfectionist, in his philosophy, everyone must be a saint, otherwise it is heinous.
When the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo failed, Li Tao was ordered to save the main force of the Tang Army, and Li Shimin didn't know how to reward him for such a great achievement.
However, Liu Renliang participated in the impeachment of Li Tao and caused trouble, which added a blockage to Li Shimin and Li Tao's hearts, which shows what kind of character Liu Renliang is.
The court that holds real power but is honest and upright, this is Li Qinzai's evaluation of Liu Renliang.
The word "clear stream" is somewhat derogatory, Li Qinzai's character is mainly gray, and he doesn't care so much about good and evil in his heart, to be precise, if the general direction of everything is correct, then the process and means don't have to be so rigid, it doesn't matter if good or evil is good or bad, and the goal is achieved.
Li Qinzai's character is obviously incompatible with Liu Renliang, who has a clear distinction between good and evil.
Politely chatted with Liu Renzai for a long time, the atmosphere between the two sides was not too harmonious, and Liu Renliang also felt that chatting with Li Qinzai was boring, so he left after dealing with a few words and continued to command the soldiers to board the ship.
Li Qinzai was about to board the ship with Liu Asi and others, but there was a shout of surprise behind him.
The voice was high-pitched, which made many soldiers can't help but look sideways.
Li Qinzai turned his head to look and found that Li Sujie was actually here, and he was followed by more than a hundred followers.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but be surprised, why did this goods come to Dengzhou?
Li Sujie and his entourage rode their horses to come, and only when they were about to get in front of Li Qinzai did they rein in their horses, Li Sujie got off the horse in a dashing manner, ran to Li Qinzai, and saluted respectfully.
"Disciple to meet sir."
Li Qinzai was dumbfounded: "You...... What are you doing here? ”
Li Sujie grinned and said, "It's not very interesting in Chang'an City, it's better to follow Mr., so I came to Dengzhou, fortunately I found you before Mr. boarded the ship, otherwise the disciple would have to hire a boat to go to Baekje to meet Mr. ”
Li Qinzai sank his face: "It's nonsense! After the sea is the battlefield, do you go to the battlefield to find death? Your father allowed you to come? ”
Li Sujie shrank for a moment, and said softly: "My father didn't agree, so the disciple left a letter and ran out secretly with more than a hundred followers. ”
Li Qinzai pointed behind him and said coldly: "Now get back for me immediately, Baekje is a battlefield, not a place for the prince to play around." ”
Li Sujie cried and said: "Sir, the disciple has already run out, and he will be punished by his father when he returns to Chang'an, and the queen is even more ...... Let the disciple follow Mr., the disciple promises to be obedient, but Mr. is the first to look forward. ”
"Don't talk nonsense with me, go back."
Li Sujie cried and was about to turn away, when he suddenly stared at the sky above Li Qinzai's head, opened his eyes wide and said in horror: "Sir, there is a pig flying in the sky!" ”
Li Qinzai was not fooled, grabbed him by the collar, and kicked him hard: "You used the leftover stalk I played back then, and you used it to fool me?" No negotiable, go back now! ”
Staring at the entourage behind Li Sujie, Li Qinzai said coldly: "By the prince's nonsense, you are not afraid of cutting off your head, watch him, and send him back to Chang'an safely." ”
The entourage didn't dare to say much, and hugged Li Sujie and walked back dejectedly.
Seeing the backs of Li Sujie and his entourage disappear with his own eyes, Li Qinzai boarded the ship with confidence.
The ships were large enough to carry thousands of men, but most of the men could only stand on deck.
Li Qinzai is a marching chief, and his status in the army is not low, so he is naturally treated differently. After boarding, they were assigned a cabin.
The cabin is not big, but there is a bed and a coffee table in it, and the layout is quite exquisite, but it can barely accommodate people.
Not long after, a gong was heard in the harbor, and the big ship raised its sails, and with a slight shock, it slowly left the harbor and turned around and headed east.
The sea near the land was relatively calm, Li Qinzai did not feel seasick, but was a little sullen, and got up and planned to walk out of the hatch to breathe.
The hatch opened, but Li Qinzai was shocked to find Qian Yi kneeling straight outside the hatch, hanging his head and closing his eyes, without saying a word.
Li Qinzai looked at Liu Asi who was guarding outside in amazement.
Liu Asi said helplessly: "He said that he wanted to make amends to the fifth young man, but the villain didn't dare to disturb, and it was inconvenient to drive him away, so he had to kneel outside the door." ”
Qian Yi was beaten with twenty military sticks two days ago, his body had not yet recovered, and his body was a little shaky after kneeling for a long time, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted without saying a word.
Li Qinzai sneered: "Did you see the document I gave you yesterday?" You have been removed from the post of grain governor, and you have been given twenty acres of Yongye land after years of military achievements, what do you mean by kneeling here now? Do you think the fields are too small? ”
Qian Yi no longer looked domineering, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The villain knows his mistake, beg Li Changshi to spare me once, don't drive me out of the army, I ...... If you leave the army, you don't know how to live. ”
"Returning to the hometown to farm and enjoy peace in peace, isn't this kind of day much better than licking blood from the knife edge?"
Qian Yi shook his head: "The villain joined the army at the age of sixteen, and has been in the army for more than 20 years, and has long been accustomed to the days in the army, returning to his hometown to farm...... For me, it's like death. ”
Li Qinzai snorted coldly: "After more than 20 years in the army, is it you who is so virtuous?" Alcoholism, abuse of robes, and confrontation with officials, which army dares to ask for such a soldier? ”
Qian Yi hung his head in pain and said in a low voice: "Li Changshi, the villain really knows that he is wrong, the villain has relied on his past military exploits over the years, and his temperament is rampant. ”
"Later, after being degraded, the resentment in my heart was hard to dissipate, so there was a rebellious and inadvertent act, the villain has deeply introspected in the past few days, and begged Li Changshi to give the villain another chance, I really can't leave the army."
Li Qinzai quietly watched Qian Yi.
In fact, Qian Yi is not a person who is extremely evil, in the eyes of Li Qinzai, he is just a typical veteran oilman, who has been in the army for a long time, and gradually no longer has a fear of military law, because he is familiar with the rules, he knows how to avoid the rules, or test the rules.
In the past, relying on his former military exploits, even if he offended Shangguan, no one must have cared about him, but he finally met Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai was not used to him, and he was beaten severely when he violated military law, and a beating was nothing, until Li Qinzai wanted to drive him out of the army, and Qian Yi was finally anxious.
Just like the plot of the movie called "The Shawshank Redemption" in the previous life, some people leave the familiar environment, even if the environment is a bad prison, and they will be at a loss and unable to survive after they go out.
Qian Yi is like this, he has been in the army for more than 20 years, and he is no longer able to leave the army.
"Freedom" is not necessarily a good thing for him.
After staring at Qian Yi's face for a long time, Li Qinzai saw remorse on his face.
After a while, Li Qinzai said coldly: "Qian Yi, I don't have a good impression of you, people like you will only be a black sheep if you stay in the army, so I still tend to drive you out of the army......"
Qian Yi suddenly bowed to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The villain has sincerely repented, and begged Li Changshi to give the villain another chance!" ”
Li Qinzai was silent, and after thinking about it, he said slowly: "If you really want to stay, put away your temperament, sincerely change your life, erase your past military exploits, you don't have any deeds worth boasting about, from today on, you are just a very ordinary soldier." ”
"No official or position, your future, your military exploits, everything needs you to use the sword again, I will put you into my personal guard, and when I need you to work hard, you will use the sword in your hand to prove to me that you are no longer the arrogant food overseer you were at the beginning."
Qian Yi said without hesitation: "The villain is willing to be an ordinary government soldier, and he is willing to be Li Changshi's personal guard, Li Changshi's safety, and the villain will protect him with his life." ”
Li Qinzai sighed and said helplessly: "You can stay for the time being, I hope you don't let me down." ”
After Qian Yiqian thanked him, he followed Liu Asi down.
Li Qinzai's expression was complicated, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to leave Qian Yi behind.
If Qian Yizhen can change the temper of the veteran oil, he will be a great general on the battlefield, and he has already proven himself back then.
In this era when there were no internal combustion engines, ships at sea relied on sails, and the battleship traveled for five full days.
Five days later, when Li Qinzai vomited and died on the battleship, he suddenly felt a slight shock to the hull of the ship, and then Liu Asi's voice came from outside the cabin.
"Five young langs, the battleship has arrived in Baekje Country."
