Chapter 70: The Korean War

"Gotta ......"

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.

At the Changle Gate in the west of Luoyang City, the soldiers guarding the city clenched their spears in their hands and looked vigilantly at the people galloping in the dark.

"Who's coming? When you go out of the city on a starry night, can you have official defense documents? ”

Li Bei turned over and dismounted, took out the forged Zhixingyuan document from his arms, and the soldier took it, and looked carefully at the torch that he approached.

Li Bei was very anxious in his heart, but his face was silent.

The chief of the city guard walked over, glanced at Li Bei lightly, and waved his hand to let him go.

The chief of the city's guards had seen Li Bei before, and knew that he was an extremely outstanding disciple of Zhixing Academy, and when he saw that he had documents, he didn't interrogate him too much, so he let him out of the city with confidence.

The two soldiers worked together to remove the heavy deadbolt, and the heavy gate slowly opened......

Li Bei led his horse out of the city, his back was already dripping with cold sweat, he flew on the horse, and with the sound of the horse's hooves, his figure disappeared into the darkness......

…………

"Let's go to the water, come on......"

Panicked cries pierced the night sky.

The handymen of Zhixingyuan hurriedly banged on the door of every room, and the sleepy-eyed teachers and students got up from the bed and followed the equally panicked people to extinguish the fire in a panic.

In front of the library building, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the people who come to put out the fire are busy like ants on a hot pot.

The raging fire in the library building of Zhixingyuan woke up the sleeping Luoyang City.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities poured out of the nest, commanding the soldiers who led the submarine fire army, pushing water wheels, water bags, and pumps to suppress the fire......

Many people in the nearby neighborhood rushed to hear the news, and the water and basins also followed to help extinguish the fire.

It was not until the early morning that the fire was finally extinguished, most of the library building had been burned down, and countless books were burned.

The library building of Zhixingyuan was burned, and the whole country was shocked by the Great Chen Empire, and the world was shaken.

The library represents the national teacher Li Xingzhi, the Zhixing Academy, and the holy place in the hearts of students all over the world.

It was destroyed by a fire.

Who has such guts? To make such a frenzied and angry act?

Through investigation, Zhixingyuan quickly found out the clues, Li Bei once entered the dining hall at night and stole a barrel of oil, the most suspicious of arson, and what is even more strange is that Li Bei disappeared......

"Spread the word to all the disciples of Zhixing Academy in the world, from now on, remove the identity of Li Beizhixing Academy, if anyone captures this thief alive, he will be rewarded with three spirit pills!"

Wei Zhilin stood in front of the burned library building, his face gloomy, and said to Jia Huaigang on the side: "The mountain gate is unfortunate, there is such a disobedient person!"

…………

Emperor Chen climbed the high tower of the Zichen Palace, looked at the red sun slowly rising in the morning light, and took a deep breath.

The morning air is refreshing and refreshing.

Emperor Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the capital city prostrate at his feet, and there was a faint rooster cry in the distant streets.

A black smoke wafted in the sky for a long time......

That's the direction of Zhixingin.

"Your Majesty, that is the library of Zhixingyuan, and it is said that last night it was ...... Burned ......"

Zhao Delu, the eunuch who was waiting on the side, whispered cautiously, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Emperor Chen quickly, lowered his eyes, and leaned over to gently hold the big behind Emperor Chen.

"Hmm...... Something...... It's not necessarily a bad thing, it doesn't break or stand, it breaks and then stands, and it burns...... That's good! ”

Emperor Chen, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a purple and gold crown on his head, seemed to be in a good mood, he turned around and ordered lightly: "Delu, I want to go to the apse for dinner, and those singers in the mission workshop are ...... Dance with me! ”

…………

Xiliang Qinzhou City, in the westernmost part of the Great Chen Empire, this Xiongguan can be attacked, retreated and defended, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow shines on the tall city wall, and the majestic shadow is like a giant beast, covering the wind and sand blowing from the border pass.

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

In the distance, there is a Qiang flute whimpering......

More than ten years ago, Han Zongwang led the Xiliang army to capture the city of Qinzhou in the Great Chen Empire, and the lord of Xiliang appointed Han Zongwang's son Han Zhan as the pastor of Qinzhou to show his favor and trust, and led the soldiers and horses of Qinzhou to guard Qinzhou.

The city of Qinzhou is fortified, and there are countless money and grain savings in the city, because of the border trade, the population who migrated to Qinzhou is large, although it is outside the fortress, it is extremely rich.

Han Zhan, the lord of Qinzhou, was in charge of the military and politics, and was a veritable emperor of Qinzhou.

At this time, Han Zhan, the lord of the city, was meeting a dusty young man in the living room, this person was carrying a long knife, with a thin waist, and it was Li Bei who had disappeared for many days.

Han Zhan is in his forties, his appearance is not good, his round figure is wearing a purple soap robe, and he has a very loud voice when he speaks.

After listening to Li Bei's statement, Han Zhan smiled.

"Donkey turtle! I've heard of your name for a long time, hahaha...... I didn't expect you to come today...... The name of your donkey and turtle, I am ...... It's been that...... Thunder...... That ......"

Han Zhan said, looking at the old man in white on the side as if asking for help, the old man understood, stroked his beard and said, "Like thunder!"

"Right...... It's a lot of ears! Hahaha! ”

Han Zhan laughed as he strode forward enthusiastically and held Li Bei's saluting hands.

Li Bei was shocked by the heroic laughter of the mellow man in front of him, and his eardrums were a little uncomfortable, and he frowned slightly and said: "City Lord, under the surname Li Mingbei, not called donkey and turtle...... Oops......! ”

"Oops! Your hand has been hurt, and I hurt you? Sorry...... I'm sorry! ”

Han Zhan held Li Bei's hand, and the other party exhaled in pain, only to find that one of his hands was wrapped in gauze, and he hurriedly let go.

In his heart, he didn't pay attention to what the other party said just now, so he waved his big hand: "Hem...... Name! It's the same for everything, a manly man, and it should be ...... Informal! ”

Han Zhan blurted out, he didn't expect that he would get an idiom right, and he was suddenly overjoyed and laughed again.

Li Bei suddenly felt a little speechless......

"Don't worry, since you have come to join me, I have always been looking for talents...... Well...... Careers...... That ......"

Han Zhan patted his chest, and the fat on his stomach trembled and trembled.

"Hungry for talent!"

The white-robed old man on the side reminded him in a timely manner.

"Yes, I'm thirsty!" Han Zhan glared at a pair of bull's eyes, and said earnestly to Li Bei: "If you come to join me, I will not treat you badly, don't worry, I will definitely reuse!" Don't say that you burned a book building, you just cut off the head of Emperor Chen Zhao Chang, and you don't have to be afraid when you get here! ”

When Li Bei heard this, his heart was settled, a touched look appeared on his face, and he hugged his fists and said: "Da En dare not say thank you, I hope that the general will help me more in the future!"

"Whoa...... I'm a big boss, and I don't need anyone to lift my shoes, you donkey and turtle follow me, I guarantee that you have wine to drink, meat to eat, and silver to take! You go and rest first, and I'll give you a drink at night! ”

Han Zhan said with a round belly and a big voice with a dry voice.

Li Bei's mouth was a little bitter, he smiled helplessly, and followed the sergeant on the side to rest......

Han Zhan looked at Li Bei's back and said to the old man in white on the side: "What does Qin think about this person when he joins the army?" ”

The old man in white is called Qin Kelan, with outstanding literary talents, resourcefulness, and he was also the old man in the Han family's mansion back then.

"Li Bei burned down the library building and betrayed the Zhixing Academy, and after our secret agents in Luoyang reported it, it was indeed true. It is said that a young man named He An molested his childhood sweetheart's girlfriend, and the two made an appointment to fight in the ring, if it wasn't for Cheng Ziya's partiality and injury to him, he would have killed that He An! ”

"If he comes to us to go undercover, the price paid by Zhixing Academy will be too great? Besides, we don't have any secrets, and it is worth knowing that the Xingyuan is so popular, so ...... I don't think this person is a hypocrisy. ”

Han Zhan pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, his eyes flashed, revealing a shrewdness, and the old man just now was like two people.

"What Qin Senjun said makes sense, but I always feel that this is ...... Something strange...... What's wrong? I can't tell......"

He scratched his head with some annoyance, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Hey...... The He An you just mentioned, this name comes to mind...... Xue Ning's letter mentioned ...... Or your letter to me. ”

"It's true, the general will never forget it, and the old man really admires it!"

Qin Kelan smiled in surprise, thought for a while, and slowly recalled: "It seems that the letter mentions this He An, and he is good friends with the young lady......"

"Let Luoyang's spies check the details of this He An, and report ......it as soon as there is news."

Qin Kelan got the order, turned around and walked out of the living room.

Han Zhan was left alone, rubbing his palms, pacing back and forth in the hall, and for a while, he muttered to himself: "Whoever hooks up with me Chan'er, I will break his dog's leg!"

It's just that his voice was too loud, and when the sergeant guarding the door heard it, he couldn't help but stiffen up in fright, and the urge to urinate surged.

The moon is like a hook, and a layer of frost seems to have fallen on the ground.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, thick torches were burning, and several soldiers held plates of steaming mutton on the table.

Wine and delicacies, people are boiling, except for the city lord Han Zhan, who joined the army Qin Kelan, the banquet was full of Qinzhou generals and officials.

At the beginning of the banquet, when everyone raised their glasses, Han Zhan solemnly introduced Li Bie to everyone and extended a warm welcome to his arrival.

Han Zhan's mouthful of "donkeys and turtles" made Li Bei a little unbearable, but fortunately, the warm and friendly response of the generals and officials made him feel a little relieved......

During the banquet, Nariha, the left marshal of the Qinzhou Frontier Army, stood up drunkenly and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Zhixing Academy is famous for its literary talent and martial arts, and Li Shaoxia is an outstanding disciple of the Zhixing Academy, I wonder if I can show my hands and let everyone see my vision?" ”

"Fuck you! The donkey and turtle followed me, and they will be their own brothers in the future, don't ...... What to mention again. ”

Before Li Bei could answer, Han Zhan pointed at Nariha's nose and scolded with a smile: "You deflated calf wants to try his kung fu, and you have to wait for his hand injury to heal, and you deflated calf will jump out at this time...... It's clear that I want to ...... Well...... That one...... What do you say......"

"Fall into the well!"

Qin Kelan on the side reminded in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Han Zhan slapped the table and laughed: "You deflated calf wants to jump into the well and get down the stone!"
