Li Ying saw that the person at the head of the group was in order, unlike the ordinary uninformed hunters in the mountains, so he also told him bluntly.

"I am Yingchuan Li Ying, passing by here, I have come to ask to see the owner of the village."

"Yingchuan Li Ying?"

The man looked confused, obviously he had not heard of his name, but since he came to worship the mountain politely, there was no reason for him to go down the mountain.

"Please follow me up the mountain."

As he spoke, he whistled behind him, and there was a whistle in the woods immediately, and it was obvious that there was a sentry in the dark.

Li Ying saw it in his eyes, it seemed that the rumors were true, this Tian Zheng had indeed been a border soldier, and the open and dark posts were well coordinated.

All the way up the mountain, the scenery is really beautiful, but everyone has no intention of appreciating it, it is too steep, out of breath, no matter how good the scenery is, there is no thought.

In the dense forest on the top of the mountain, there is a stone wall built according to the mountain, which is full of stone walls, and the houses with wooden roofs are scattered and unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.

Before entering the main hall, they were stopped, and after a few interrogations, they were asked to hand over their weapons before they were released.

Tian Zheng sat upright on the tiger skin, tall and thin, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yingchuan Li Ying, meet the owner of Tianzhai."

After several people saw the ceremony, Tian Zheng did not embarrass them, but invited them to sit down and served wine to quench their thirst.

"I don't know why Brother Li came?"

Tian Zheng was holding a wine bowl in one hand, with an unexplained smile on his lips, and Li Ying always felt that his expression was a little strange.

"A certain is the newly appointed Taishan County Taishou, who was about to go to the county government, but met rebels on the way, so he took a detour."

Everyone present was a little surprised that Li Ying showed his identity so easily, this is a mountain bandit village, isn't he afraid of being killed?

Is this person bold, or a little stupid, and he actually threw himself into the net.

"I heard that there are righteous soldiers in the mountains, and a certain person came to pay a visit."

"Rebels?"

Tian Zheng smiled mockingly, "I, Tian, pride myself on being a wicked person, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil, Brother Li is afraid that he is mistaken." ”

The surrounding mountain bandits also laughed wantonly, pointing at him like a monster, but Li Ying turned a deaf ear and was completely indifferent.

In Li's eyes, the people who were killed by the owner of the village were all people who should be killed, but there was a lot of shelter for the people.

And this time, Gongsun Ju was tyrannical and unreasonable, killing the world, but the owner of the village did not join the stream, which shows that the righteousness is thin and cloudy. ”

"Hahaha......"

Tian Zheng erupted into a burst of unbridled laughter, "Righteousness is thin and cloudy? It's a laugh, hahaha......"

The mountain bandits in the room burst into laughter, and several of Li Ying's entourage couldn't help but hang their heads in embarrassment.

Only Li Ying still looked at Tian Zheng with a serious face, as if waiting for him to give him an answer.

Finally, Tian Zheng put away his playful expression, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, you Li Yuanli, they all say that you are fair and strict, and you never flatter, I never thought that you would say such a thing to me as a bandit leader today."

Li Ying frowned, "You know me?" ”

"That's natural, didn't you serve as a assassin in our Qingzhou at the beginning? Although it was not a long time, Tian happened to be an official in the state city at that time.

That's why I know you, but you don't know me as a little person. ”

Li Ying said angrily, "Since you have been a government official, you should know the laws of the king, but how can you be willing to be a thief here and affect future generations." ”

Tian Zheng's face was pale, and he arched his hand and asked, "You are a fair and honest good official, and if you have a question today, please make you clear your doubts." ”

"Please."

"The envoy was born in a family, and he is famous, but he has been repeatedly dismissed, such as today's chaos, why are you willing to come to Taishan County to pick up this mess, don't you think someone is deliberately embarrassing you?"

Tian Zheng said, a pair of eyes staring at him with burning light.

Li Ying didn't want to blurt out, "I am an official for the people, for the righteousness of heaven and earth, not for money and wealth, how can I say that I am embarrassed?" ”

Tian Zheng looked at him for a long time before he sighed, "If someone else said this, I would definitely not believe it, but if you Li Yuanli said it, I had to believe it." ”

When Li Ying was appointed as the assassin of Qingzhou, before he arrived, those corrupt officials heard that he was coming, and they were so frightened that they abandoned the official and fled.

It can be seen how loud his reputation for being upright and selfless with an iron face is.

Later, he rectified the rule of officials and cracked down on corruption, and the atmosphere of Qingzhou was new......

It's a pity that this situation didn't last long, Li Ying was soon dismissed because he offended the powerful, and after he left, Qingzhou became a carnival place for corrupt officials again.

It was also at that time that Tian Zheng left Qingzhou disappointed and became a border soldier with recruitment.

There, he once again saw Li Ying, the captain of the Wuhuan Guard, who personally charged forward like a rain of locusts and arrows, leading them to fight against the Xianbei people.

Even those Xianbei people often sigh that Li Ying is a hard bone who is not afraid of death, and out of fear, he did not dare to knock lightly for a long time.

But it didn't take long for him to be deposed by the imperial court again and return to his hometown.

Tian Zheng, who was extremely disappointed, was disheartened and returned to Laiwu, but he did not expect that he would throw his head and spill his blood at the border pass and fight for the country.

But the parents at home were forcibly occupied by bullies because of their fields, and they lived on the streets, and died of poverty and disease.

So in a fit of rage, he stabbed his enemies, and then fled to the mountains, and from then on became an out-and-out bandit.

It's just that he never imagined that one day he would be able to see the person he admired the most, the general who once led him to charge.

"Come on, serve the wine and food, I will get drunk with General Li and rest."

Li Ying didn't expect Tian Zheng to be his old subordinate, no wonder he was a little familiar.

This long-lost general reminded him of the magnificent military years of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and he was also full of emotion.

"Okay, sure enough, life meets everywhere, and today Li will accompany you without getting drunk and homeless."

The two didn't mention anything else, they only drank and sang, recalling the passionate years of fighting against Wu Huan, and they were all excited for a while.

Everyone present listened with fascination, and before they knew it, the guests were all drunk.

……

At this time, Liu Zhi was also having a headache in the Beijing Division, and rumors were spreading in the Beijing Division, and people were panicking, causing many people to start hoarding supplies.

In just a few days, prices have skyrocketed, especially the price of grain, which has doubled.

That's not all, in Yin, Henan, on the border with Yanzhou, there were poor people who began to flee and poured in the direction of Beijing.

Cao Teng urgently mobilized his men and blocked them east of Xingyang, but they turned around and began to move south, heading towards Yuzhou.

The situation became more and more critical, but Yang Jian and the others only grabbed a batch of small shrimp and were responsible for stirring up the wind and rain, but they couldn't judge much of value.

Even some of them are just being used by others, and they don't have the intention of causing trouble.

There are more and more clues, but they are complicated, and there is no clear context.

It was the day of the court meeting again, and Liu Zhigao sat on the royal chair, and his tense face revealed some coldness.

The eyes swept over the heads of the three princes and nine qings one by one, and everywhere they passed, everyone was silent.
