"Virtuous nephew, a mountain as a cemetery? Do you want to fight a big battle? ”

Zhou Shichang tried again.

Li Xing deliberately looked around, and then he came to Zhou Shichang's ear and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, I won't tell you anything, the prince does mean this." ”

"Fight the barbarians?"

Zhou Shichang asked deliberately.

When asking, I kept observing the changes in Li Xing's expression.

He wanted to determine the prince's true intentions.

If the crown prince expands his armament in the name of fighting the barbarians, he must summon Kyoto so that his father can prepare early.

Li Xing pretended to be surprised and said, "Uncle Shi, only me and the prince know about this matter, how did you know about it?" ”

Zhou Shichang was also stunned when he saw Li Xing like this.

Because whether it is from the change in expression or the tone of voice, Li Xing doesn't seem to be pretending.

There was no way, he could only smile awkwardly: "I'm just guessing, after all, with the strength of the prince's soldiers in Woniu Mountain, only against the barbarians will there be heavy casualties." ”

"This is also a matter of no way, some time ago, the barbarians had a team of 100 people into Lingwu County, we sent troops to exterminate them, offended the barbarians, instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative to attack."

Li Xing said with a deliberate sigh.

Seeing Li Xing like this, Zhou Shichang suddenly thought of something, and asked with a smile: "Rashly provoke a dispute between the barbarians and my Great Xia, and you and the crown prince are not afraid of the courtiers' reproaches?" ”

"The words of Confucianism are like a dog barking, I and the prince will not take it to heart, what we have to do is to learn from the ancestors, attack the barbarians in the north, and let my people in Daxia no longer panic and worry when the autumn harvest comes."

Li Xing's face suddenly showed a look of anger, and he said impassionedly.

Such a reaction completely stunned Zhou Shichang.

Seeing what Li Xing had done in Lingwu before, I thought he was a talented person.

But I didn't expect it to be an impulsive person, even if he has some talent, it seems that he will not be worried in the future.

Since he and the crown prince wanted to attack the barbarians, he was naturally happy to watch the excitement.

Anyway, the Zhou family and the barbarians have already had a secret agreement, even if Daxia really meets the barbarians, his Zhou family will not be affected in the slightest.

On the contrary, if the crown prince fails, he will be deposed, and the emperor will lose his prestige.

So he also said very boldly this time: "Since the virtuous nephew is the cemetery selected for the future attack on the barbarian soldiers, as a captain of the horses, I naturally can't hold back, and I will give the mountain on this side of Yangquan to the soldiers." ”

"Uncle Shi, atmosphere, I took the soldiers to thank Uncle Shi first."

Li Xing's heart suddenly blossomed.

Hurriedly saluted Zhou Shichang.

Zhou Shichang hurriedly helped Li Xing up: "Virtuous nephew doesn't have to be like this, for the sake of the country, this is what I should do, but I don't know when you and the prince will send troops?" ”

"To fight against the barbarians, we must train the tactics of fighting against the cavalry, we have now begun to raise grain and grass, and within half a year, we will send troops to attack the barbarians."

Li Xing calculated seriously for a long time, and then gave a timetable.

If Li Xing agreed immediately, or within two months, Zhou Shichang would definitely be suspicious.

But after listening to it for half a year, Zhou Shichang also secretly calculated that this is indeed a reasonable time for price comparison.

So I believed it this time.

However, the contract still has to be made.

When the contract was made, Zhou Shichang added that if half a year later, the prince did not attack the barbarians, he had the right to take back that half of the mountain.

"Uncle Shi is very thoughtful, and it should be so."

What Li Xing wants is this half-year development period.

At that time, as long as it develops, it will not be a colt captain or the Zhou family who has the final say.

After signing the contract, Zhou Shichang very politely stayed with Li Xing for dinner, and told him that there was a very exciting program in the evening.

Li Xing is a person of saving, so naturally he did not refuse.

He can also swear to God, definitely not to watch the exciting show that the Captain of the Horse said.

After a sumptuous dinner, Zhou Shichang took Li Xing and left the Horse Mansion.

In the end, the two stopped at a place called Wenxiangju.

At first, Li Xing thought it was a place to eat.

When he followed Zhou Shichang in, he found that this was the kind of high-end place to do indescribable things.

The reason why I say high-end is that you can't come here for money.

In today's parlance, you can't just have money here, you also have to have status before you can get a membership card.

It's clear that Captain Pony is a regular here.

The little guy didn't verify his identity at all, so he took him inside very enthusiastically.

Familiar with the road, he took them to a private room, and said very respectfully: "Master Horse, is it still the old rule?" ”

Zhou Shichang nodded.

The old rules?

It won't be a mass live broadcast, right?

Just when Li Xing was guessing wildly in his heart.

I saw Zhou Shichang hand a silver ticket of 1,000 taels to the little girl: "Five fairy girls, the second half of today's poems." ”

"I've been ready for you a long time ago."

After the little guy finished speaking, he secretly took out five pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Zhou Shichang.

After Zhou Shichang saw it, he nodded with great satisfaction, and took out a silver ingot of five taels to reward the little guy.

"You kid did a good job, if I can see the fairy girl tonight, this horse will reward you heavily, get out!"

Zhou Shichang waved at the little guy.

The little girl's happy mouth was almost grinning to the cheeks, and he left very respectfully.

When Li Xing saw this scene, he suddenly thought of the sentence, Zhumen's wine and meat stinked and there were frozen bones.

Fuck, it cost a thousand taels for five poems.

But ordinary people may not earn more than 1,000 taels in their lifetime.

It seems that he feels the strangeness of Li Xing's emotions.

Zhou Shichang turned his head to look at Li Xing: "Virtuous nephew, I see that you are a little unhappy, you don't like this kind of elegant thing?" ”

"Yashi?"

Li Xing wanted to grab Zhou Shichang's ears, rushed into the private room here, and asked him one by one, do you call this an elegant thing?

This doubt naturally did not escape Zhou Shichang's ears.

He looked at Li Xing with a smile and said, "You kid is young, do you think you came here to do that kind of thing directly?" Vulgar. ”

"Is it possible to do that kind of thing while composing poetry? Uncle Shi, you really know how to play. ”

Li Xing smiled and said.

Zhou Shichang was not angry at all, but laughed again.

"Virtuous nephew, you are really joking, but this way seems to be more exciting, in the future, I have to find the bustard here and study it."
