No, as they saw more and more soldiers wearing armor, there was a solemnity in the eyes of Li Kuan and Kong Yingda.

This is not a normal situation for government soldiers.

These soldiers were visibly bandaged, and their armor was too neatly dressed.

The armor was neatly dressed, and it was obvious that he had just come down from the battlefield.

As for the situation that the bandaging can be completed just after coming down, Kong Yingda has never seen it, and Li Kuan has not heard Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong say it.

The Northern Privateer, Li Kuan and Kong Yingda had this idea in their minds at the same time.

Li Kuan and Kong Yingda both realized that something was wrong at this time.

In the palace, Yu Zhining was anxiously turning in circles, and a group of embarrassed middle-aged armored people sat beside him, and a group of people seemed to be waiting for something.

Li Kuan and Kong Yingda didn't wait for the report, and walked in directly, Yu Zhining was stunned when he saw the two, and smiled reluctantly, and instantly reacted to the reason why the two came, and said awkwardly: "Explain later." ”

Li Kuan and Kong Yingda looked at the middle-aged men in armor sitting in a room, and some of them were familiar figures in Chang'an City, looking at their gloomy faces, they knew at a glance what their situation was, this was a defeat.

However, Li Kuan and Kong Yingda wondered why the two of them didn't receive the news that the northern privateer team had gone on a solo expedition.

According to the rumors that the two of them heard before, the privateer team they formed had 20,000 people, how could there be no rumors at all.

That's not right.

Not long after, Chai Shao walked in with the embarrassed Lu Jing and a group of family members.

The middle-aged man in the original armor in the room saw Lu Jing and the family behind him get up one after another, and his eyes looked around in the family, looking for his own children.

Li Kuan sat aside and watched this scene coldly, and after they all sat down, Li Kuan slowly spoke: "How about three hundred mercenaries?" ”

Hearing Li Kuan's voice, Lu Jing noticed Li Kuan, who was covered by the middle-aged men in armor just now, and smiled awkwardly: "The pension, we will send it down one by one." ”

"Ten times the pension."

Li Kuan opened his mouth unceremoniously.

Chai Shao had a gloomy face, sat directly beside Li Kuan, and didn't say a word.

Those family members wanted to say something, but they were pressed by the middle-aged men in armor and were not allowed to speak.

Lu Jing didn't frown, and agreed.

"Yes, ten times the pension is ten times the pension, and we will send it to the right guard army."

Li Kuan and Chai Shao's faces were a little better.

Although I don't know exactly what happened, I can guess it.

After the middle-aged man in the armor of each family brought all the sons of his family to his side, Lu Jing led a young man with a gentle smile on his face at this time, and a young man with blood on his body to sit opposite Li Kuan, and the positions were all added on the spot.

After everyone sat down, Yu Zhining clapped his hands, and someone immediately served a hot meal.

Lu Jing, the middle-aged man in armor, and the sons of the family didn't care about the image at this time, and they ate it directly when they saw the hot meal.

Binge eating of overeating.

Only the bloody young man behind Lu Jing can still maintain the image of the family and eat slowly.

Faced with this situation, Li Kuan was a little puzzled.

Chai Shao explained in a whisper next to him: "Coming down from the scene, experiencing life and death, the pressure is too great, and the best way is to eat hot food." ”

"A bite of hot food can make people feel alive."

Li Kuan nodded.

Kong Yingda next to him frowned at this time, as if he was in a very bad mood, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When everyone had eaten about the same, the tea was also served, and the people on the opposite side drank the tea, and after the complexion was almost recovered, Yu Zhining asked people to remove the food, and then slowly spoke with a gloomy face: "Everyone, you are quite good at playing, the caravan has become a privateer, buy weapons in the steel factory with the weapons purchase documents issued by the imperial court, and then wash the weapons of the white grassland caravan, so as to cover up the fact that you have hidden weapons privately." ”

"If it weren't for your accident this time, we wouldn't have known that you were hiding weapons that could arm an army of 20,000."

Yu Zhining's words made Li Kuan and Kong Yingda instantly understand that this was the case, these people had already thrown the team on the grassland, disguised as a caravan at first, pretended to be doing business, and bought a batch of weapons at Shuofang Iron and Steel Plant, pretending that we were in compliance with Datang laws, and when the procedures on Datang's side were completed, the caravans on the grassland turned into privateers on the spot and robbed directly.

Pretty, it's definitely not something that can be done in a day.

Li Kuan pondered that this group of families may have been preparing for this day for a year.

Otherwise, the connection would not have been so perfect.

Lu Jingmian did not change his face to Zhining's questioning, and he was not afraid at all, at this time, he had recovered the noble temperament of the family, he put down the teacup elegantly, and said mockingly: "Who hasn't done something illegal." ”

"As long as the general direction is good, it's not very normal to modify it in a small place."

Yu Zhining was silent, if the other party said so, then this matter was beyond the scope of his handling.

His identity is no longer negotiable with the other party.

At this time, the only identity here is enough, and only Li Kuan is left.

Sighing, Li Kuan also understood, he also put down the teacup, looked at Lu Jing, and asked: "Master Lu, I don't talk about it, you can repeat this incident, let us have a number in our hearts, and by the way, the losses of the Shuofang army will be compensated twice, how about it?" ”

In Li Kuan's eyes, it is useless to talk about the law with the group of families opposite, and their family was also among them when the law of the Tang Dynasty was compiled, and they knew better than anyone else about the loopholes in the law.

Moreover, in the feudal era, sometimes it was better to talk about the law than to talk about morality.

Lu Jing thought about it, Li Kuan didn't ask for much, agreed, and then began to narrate the incident.

Their original expectation was to get a privateer license, loot a batch of loot in the grassland and sell the stolen goods, so as to make up for the losses when Shuofang liquidated.

The result is that there are too many calculations, and I run into ghosts when I walk at night.

They met Ashina Sheer.

At the beginning, with excellent weapons and armor, and good command, they plundered several tribes, who knew that these tribes were all under the name of Ashina Sheer.

The result is very simple, the leaders of these caravans are very strong and capable of fighting, and some of them themselves are from military backgrounds, and it is no problem to command four or five thousand people.

But Ashina Sheer is more capable of fighting, and he leads the elite cavalry of the tribe.

If it weren't for the fact that the caravan had horses, they would have ridden, and Chai Shao would have rescued them immediately when he got the news, and they would have died.

Ashina Sheer is not a good person, as soon as he saw the cavalry of the family caravan, he directly shook people.

The grassland is the base camp of the people, and the speed of Ashina Sheer shakes the people faster.

At the same time, Jieli didn't know what to think, so he asked all the tribes to go out and search for the Tang people on the grassland together.

Lu Jing, who was about to borrow the road to the Western Regions, was also surrounded.

According to the description of this procedure, Li Kuan made an evaluation that these people are just running into ghosts on a pure night road.

They were well prepared.

Four or five veteran generals who could command four or five thousand people, and the soldiers under their command were all in the prime of life, each with a suit of armor, and every hundred people could be equipped with a veteran centurion.

In terms of configuration, the army transformed in this way is theoretically more capable of fighting than the group of raiders in Lingnan.

As a result, nothing happened when raiding small tribes, and it was smooth sailing.

The tragic part is that they bumped into Ashina Sheer, the grassland ghost.

Even if a second-level Taoist priest has attribute blessings, he can't kill a level 20 big ghost, plus Ashina Sheer can still shake people.

Li Kuan laughed unceremoniously.
