Chapter 288: Li Kui's Bodyguard

Judging from the results, Zuo Nanyi, the big shopkeeper of the Qizhou branch of Huitong Qianzhuang, should be happy, he successfully made the big owner of Qianzhuang become his partner.

The dart master, naturally, is also a buddy.

The power suddenly surpassed Qiu Mingren, the chief treasurer of the head office in the capital, and became the most prominent existence of Huitong Bank.

But he couldn't be happy, not only was he not happy, but he was also scared half to death. Li Kui is the owner and the big boss, and when he appeared in Qizhou, he exerted huge pressure on Zuo Nanyi. As for Li Kui, he insisted on going his own way and wanted to be a bodyguard for Qianzhuang's escort team. It's like the emperor going out on patrol to the border pass, and then the emperor who is full of interest says to the generals on the frontier: "I will lead the army to defeat the invading enemy, and the emperor will plunder the battle for me!" ”

What's going on?

The loyal minister has met the faint king!

Life and death are just a thought.

When encountering such an unfortunate thing, none of the generals would be happy, but instead knelt on the ground, hugged the faint king's thighs, and said that he would not dare to let the faint monarch have his head and go out to die.

In the opinion of Zuo Nanyi's shopkeeper, Li Kui is almost the same as a faint gentleman. Bodyguards, are they so easy to protect?

Didn't you see that the money ships protected by the military were robbed?

As a subordinate, Zuo Nanyi felt that he should do something to stop Li Kui's thoughts of death. But let him hold Li Kui's thighs and prevent Li Kui from going out, obviously he couldn't do it. It's not that he can't give up this face, but that he is thin and weak, even if the whole person hangs on Li Kui, he can't stop Li Kui's idea of going out.

Besides, if Li Kui can be persuaded so easily, it is not Li Kui.

"Boss, it's not impossible for you to go along? It's just that there are more thieves, and there are thieves who run away, and there are many dreams at night! Li Qianjin felt that Zuo Nanyi was a little redundant, he had never seen Li Kui's bravery in killing the Quartet, but Li Qianjin had really seen Li Kui's kind of rampage, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Aren't they just some guts bandits?

That is, Li Quan is not there, if the master is here, the Li brothers can chase the thief to the sky and the ground.

Zuo Nanyi was still happy to hear the first half of his chief martial artist, at least in the spirit of persuasion. As for Li Kui can't listen, isn't he still there?

But after listening to the second half of the sentence, I really want to jump up and beat this fool's head. What is in the head of this thing, is it talking about human words?

The sword has no eyes, if the proprietor is injured, can you afford it as a little martial artist?

Zuo Nanyi rudely interrupted Li Qianjin's words, and said angrily: "Bastard, you let the proprietor take risks, I will make money and business all over the world, what's the use of asking you to wait for a martial artist?" ”

Li Qianjin felt that the left shopkeeper had misunderstood his words, and added: "I will also go with the proprietor!" ”

"Can your life be compared to that of the proprietor?" Zuo Nanyi's words are full of one meaning, Li Qianjin is a life, and the proprietor Li Kui is Jin Gui's life. Besides, if you really let the chief shopkeeper Qiu Mingren know, the share of Li Qianjin is too low, and the shopkeeper Qiu may not be able to punish him, but can Zuo Nanyi escape?

Qizhou's semicolon is Zuo Nanyi, if it weren't for his nod, how could Li Kui be allowed to escort the silver money to be the bait to attract thieves?

Regardless of whether Li Kui had anything to do afterwards, Zuo Nanyi couldn't escape the charge of framing the proprietor.

"Have you ever thought about how to deal with my Huitong Bank once something goes wrong? Thousands of people will lose their livelihood because of your brainless bastards. Speaking of this, Zuo Nanyi bowed to Li Kui and said: "The proprietor, although my Qizhou Qianzhuang has suffered losses, but to deal with the thieves, it is nothing more than the word money. There is no need for the proprietor to take the risk himself. The whole bank must rely on the wise decision of the proprietor, and the proprietor's safety cannot be compromised. ”

Zuo Nanyi was scared, how could Li Kui not hear it?

But Dongxi Village, he really wanted to see it.

Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and that Gongsun Sheng, look at what kind of people are outstanding and let them break into a great reputation.

As for yourself?

Li Kui really didn't feel that he was in any danger.

If you can't beat it, can't you run away?

In the past, he didn't know how to water, but now he has lived in Yingzhou, Yangzhou and other places for two years, one on the Huai River, one on the side of the big river, and it is most comfortable to play in the water in the middle of summer. The men in Baizhang Village, now one is counted as one, except for the third uncle, they are all self-rescue means that can flutter a few times in the river, and Li Kui's swimming skills have long been not satisfied with dog planing.

Dealing with the red-haired ghost Liu Tang in the water may not be possible. But will Li Kui have no brains to go into the water to fight Liu Tang?

As for on the shore, this guy is not his opponent at all, and he is appointed to teach him to be a man.

Li Kui immediately made a decision and said to Zuo Nanyi: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more." The left shopkeeper, you go to that row of escort people, and when Li Qianjin comes back from Guangji Junzhou, he will set off immediately. ”

Zuo Nanyi was helpless and had to withdraw from the yard. When he came to the courtyard, he grabbed Li Qianjin's shirt and said angrily: "Li Qianjin, you scourge, you shouldn't have taken you in the first place." Do you think that you can protect the proprietor from accidents with this little effort? ”

Li Qianjin felt very aggrieved, but he didn't say anything, as for Li Kui, he had absolute confidence in Li Kui. Facing Zuo Nanyi's questioning, he was indeed displeased, but the salary of Huitong Bank was still very high, and he was unwilling to let him go. Besides, he is a martial artist, and his reputation in officialdom is bad, and it is estimated that no one will ask him to do things.

If you can't do business, you can't farm. can only go to the big family in that small place to take care of the family, wouldn't it bury one of his martial arts?

Li Qianjin sniffed his nose and said, "I don't have confidence in myself, but I have confidence in the proprietor." ”

"Forget it, you are such a foolish person, there is more than enough success and more failure." Zuo Nanyi was tired, waved his hand and said to Li Qianjin: "Why don't you go soon?" ”

Li Qianjin left in a hurry and rode to Guangji Military Prefecture without saying.

Let's just say that Zuo Nanyi really gave up his capital, and almost ignored all the martial artists who could be recruited in Qizhou. Many people in the rivers and lakes have been snagged by him.

Not only that, but he also sent a secret report to the general number.

Li Kui wanted to escort the silver money and deliberately lure the robbers, he definitely couldn't suppress it, so he could only let the shopkeeper Qiu decide. As for how Shopkeeper Qiu reacted, it shouldn't be a matter for him to consider.

Three or five days will pass in a blink of an eye.

Li Qianjin, who was dusty and dusty, came back from Guangji Junzhou and brought a good news that made Shopkeeper Qiu breathe a sigh of relief. Cheng Zhijienuo, the general of the Tiger Battalion, led 500 troops to assist in suppressing the bandits.

This is undoubtedly exciting news for Zuo Nanyi, and his dislike for Li Qianjin is also much less, at least this trip is quite beautiful for Li Qianjin. With the addition of these 500 troops, Zuo Nanyi did not expect to be able to exterminate the robbers, let alone recover the lost money, which made Li Kui's safety stable for him.

In order to show his loyalty, Zuo Nanyi felt that it was necessary for him to go with Li Kui. With good news, Zuo Nanyi ran to Li Kui to report the good news.

Li Kui didn't care, he felt that Cheng Zhijie might have other plans.

Cheng Zhijie's army is a newly formed army, and the purpose is very simple, he wants to go to Biansai to make war exploits.

As for why he knew that there would be a war, although the emperor did not tell him personally, it was about the same. You must know that Liu Qingjing is the emperor's concubine, and the little emperor hides his words in front of the ministers, but in the harem, in the face of his pillow person, he really won't be too wary. Liu Qingjing took the news out of the palace.

Originally, I thought that I would let my family find a few capable generals and win them over. This is also a means of relatives. But what he didn't expect was that Cheng Zhijie was ready to make meritorious service by himself.

In the capital, he was a military attache who started as a lieutenant in a place, and he didn't even have a sense of existence. Not only that, since he was teased by the disciples of Jiangmen, he has a deep sense of vigilance against the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, but he doesn't want to do nothing in this life. But he was a captain of the Huaiyang Army, even if the emperor had the intention to promote him, he had no chance to show his talent, and his military exploits became his last choice. His share of the army parachuted into the border fortress is also unrealistic, and the western army is unruly, and he can't suppress it at all. Only by relying on the emperor's grace can he train an army in the Central Plains.

And the number of this army cannot be too large, three thousand people is a very reasonable number.

The army formed by Cheng Zhijie has an advantage, there is no one who eats empty salaries, there is no one. Cheng Zhijie has been staring at the barracks since the day of its formation, and no one of his subordinates is allowed to eat empty salaries. It can be said that although his battalion has only 3,000 men, it is no less than an army of 5,000 men in terms of the number of soldiers.

Not only that, but he also pays close attention to training. He couldn't train near the capital, so he went to Guangji Junzhou.

Seeing that the Northwest War broke out again, Cheng Zhijie was in trouble, how was his men and horses trained?

No bottom!

He didn't have any confidence in his heart.

He had led troops before, but he had never fought. What's more, if you go to Gyeongju on the border of Western Xia, if the army is really not strong enough, won't it kill many people?

These days, he has been thinking about finding an opponent to practice, but it is not easy to find a nest of cottage bandits, and it is not easy to fight if he finds it. Entering the mountains to suppress bandits is equivalent to a blind man touching an elephant, and thousands or tens of thousands of people are scattered into it, and it may not be possible to really find out the bandits.

When he was in a panic, Li Kui sent someone to deliver a letter.

The money boat of Qizhou Huitong Money Village was robbed, and the thieves hid in Jingxi Road. If it was in Yunzhou, he might not be able to help. The Great Song Army had very strict procedures for mobilization. The march at the level of the way out requires not only the dispatch of the Xuanfu envoy Yamen, but also the military talisman of the Privy Council in the capital. Unless the army is fighting in the border states, but the generals and civil officials of the border states can generally act in place of the powers of the Privy Council, and there is no need to report.

But the Central Plains can't, especially near Kaifeng Mansion, and the appointment order is even stricter.

However, if you are fighting on this road, you only need to send an order from the Yamen.

Yuncheng County happens to be in Jeju, which is under the jurisdiction of Jingdong West Road, and is on the same road as Gwangje Junju. So it's easy to appoint. At least the old man of the Liu family is already a master, and he is also serious. There is really no reason for Jingxi Road to stop Cheng Zhijie.

Besides, Huitong Qianzhuang still has the molecule of the fifth sister Liu Qingqian, Yu Yuli, who is a brother-in-law, should help.

So the dispatch of troops became extremely smooth, and Pang Wan set off alone in advance to Sucheng. This is the person Li Kui named and wanted. Cheng Zhijie didn't have a deep impression of Pang Wan before, just an ordinary personal guard beside him. But it can make Li Kui valued, and suddenly Cheng Zhijie has a kind of regret that the talent was buried on the side, but fortunately, it was discovered in time, so that it would not be buried forever.

The only thing that made Cheng Zhijie depressed was that the marching speed was too slow.

Pang Wandu left for two days, and his army was able to get out of Guangji Military Prefecture, in fact, Guangji Military Prefecture was not big, and his army had just walked out of a county area for two days, which made him feel quite ashamed.

Besides, Li Kui, after listening to Li Qianjin's advice, he felt that everything was ready, and he only owed Dongfeng.

And Dongfeng is very simple, it is to release the news, let Huitong Qian Zhuang prepare hundreds of cars, ready to escort the silver money to the capital. There are many people, and it is common for leaks to be leaked. And Li Kui just wanted to leak the news so that Gongsun Sheng and others could take the bait.

Another one, since Ruan Xiaoer was driven away by Li Kui, he did not return to Li Kui's residence, let alone admit his mistake.

He also seemed to have a hunch that it was useless for a temperamental person like Li Kui to admit his mistakes. He struggled with how to get Li Kui to eliminate his prejudice and hostility towards him. Of course, this was only a short-lived thought in his spare time. He left Li Kui, and he didn't even have a big son, so he had to eat and drink, so he could only start his business.

Fishing in the river on the outskirts of Qizhou, although he could not return with a full load every day, it did not make him hungry. It's a little more difficult to live in a broken temple outside the city.

He basically brought the fish he caught to Qizhou City early in the morning to sell, and at the same time checked to see if Li Kui had left.

Once Li Kui had the intention of leaving, he followed.

The news of his two brothers is still hidden on Li Kui, if even Li Kui is gone, does he really not know that he will still be able to see his younger brother in this life?

said that he couldn't run away from Li Kui.

This, he hurried to the market with hemp rope and two big fish, but he never thought that Li Kui would take Li Yun and other hundreds of people, and a large convoy was ready to leave. Suddenly anxious, he stuffed the two big fish into the hands of the aunt on the side, and said, "Two hanging money, this fish is yours." ”

"One hanging."

The counteroffer is like this, the aunt is also unexpected, but the cheap delivery to the door can not be taken advantage of. The price given by Ruan Xiaoer is already extremely low. But can you give up a counteroffer just because it's cheap?

No.

Because there is no bargaining, is there still the fun of shopping?

But the aunt's behavior is obviously to take advantage of the fire to rob, which is quite shameless. But Ruan Xiaoer thought about it, nodded and agreed: "Yes!" ”

The aunt who bought the fish felt a little at a loss, and the counteroffer was like this, it was a process of fighting wits and courage. The other party offered two hangs, and she counteroffered one hanging, if the other party scolded him, she would naturally admit her mistake, because this was a normal reaction. I am most afraid that the other party will happily agree, which will make the aunt feel like she has been cheated. The aunt felt that there was still room for bargaining, and deliberately said: "I didn't bring any money, I want to go home." ”

Ruan Xiaoer said angrily: "It's not for sale." Then he said to the people around: "Fresh river fish, two at least six or seven catties of weight, as long as a hanging money, give cash." ”

When the aunt saw someone coming, she immediately took out a bunch of money in annoyance and stuffed it into Ruan Xiaoer's hand: "Here you go, the boy really doesn't know how to tease?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer took the money, stuffed it into his clothes, and followed the escort team of Qian Zhuang with a stick.

Not long after leaving the city, Li Yun chased after Li Kui and said, "Second brother, someone is following us." ”

Li Kui had long known that Ruan Xiaoer was following, and he didn't care: "If he wants to follow, let him follow, ignore him." ”
