On the bank of the Baihe River in Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province, on the official road, dozens of knights flew like a roll over, heading straight to Baihe Town, which was across a white river from Nanyang Mansion City. The knights were dressed in splendid colours, mostly young and strong, and all of them looked elated and energetic, except for a man in his fifties who was dressed as a scribe.

This man is Kong Sizhen's henchman, the Gui Navy Jiedu envoy to the left Sima Fu Honglie. He followed closely beside a young knight who was less than twenty years old and looked seventy or eighty percent similar to Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan. A white face was full of sorrow, and he sighed as he rode his horse.

The reason why Fu Honglie is so sad is because his young master, Li Jiqing, came to Nanyang to find his father this time! It's not about Li Fuchen's father, but about Sun Yanling." The father of the pit"!

This is a real death!

This is not the most anxious, the most anxious thing is that in Li Jiqing's mind, his dearest and dearest "true father" is most likely not Li Fuchen, but Sun Yanling!

Because this Li Jiqing was in the pavilion of Yuezhou Mansion, when he saw the envoy sent by Sun Yanling and Sun Yanling's handwritten letter, it was called a cry of joy!

After reading the handwritten letter of Sun Yanling, the "pit father", and knowing that this "pit dad" wanted to meet him at the Nanbaihe Town Pavilion on Nanyang Baihe Bridge, Li Jiqing didn't say a word, and rode north with a group of personal guard partners.

Fu Honglie can't stop it!

Although he was the marching Zuo Sima of the Gui Navy's Jiedu Envoy Division, and he still had the Gui Navy military talisman and warrant handed over by Kong Sizhen, and had the right to dispatch most of the Gui Navy's troops, but he did not include Li Jiqing's "young guards" - these young guards were formed for Li Jiqing by Kong Sizhen according to Li Zhongshan's "adoptive brother servant team", and the members were all from the children of the Dingfan Banner Army of the fifteen assistant leaders.

These children of the Dingfan Banner Army only listened to Li Jiqing, and Fu Honglie couldn't command at all, so he couldn't stop Li Jiqing, who was bent on finding that "pit father" Sun Yanling, so he had to follow all the way, and persuaded him all the way.

is to lay out the facts, and to be reasonable, and clearly tell Sun Jiqing that Sun Yanling is not his father first, and secondly, he is already "bankrupt" and has no power.

And although that Li Fuchen is not a good person, he is really Li Jiqing's father, and this father is also powerful, he is a character who wants wind and rain!

As for the Li Zhongshan offended by Li Jiqing, he was a general who leaned towards the government and the opposition! Although Li Jiqing offended the general because he fell in love with someone's concubine, this is not a big deal, and after a while, General Li and Wu Xiaoheng's small life is steady, and Li Jiqing's little worry is nothing.

At that time, Li Zhongshan will not bother with his brother about this trivial matter, and Li Jiqing can also be cheeky and stammer.

Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan, they are all characters who others want to hold their thighs to recognize their father-in-law! No matter how Li Jiqing is, he is the son of Li Fuchen and the brother of Li Zhongshan.

But such a simple question, Li Jiqing is confused, he is the son of Lu Bu, the younger brother of the little Lu Bu, and he looks very "Lu Bu"! It stands to reason that even if the person who has power in the world is not his father, he has to find a way to think of his father-in-law!

How did it get to him the other way around? Want to find Sun Yanling, the "pit father"?

Who is this?

It's impossible to follow Li Fuchen, right? If he wants to have such a father, he still has to hold on to it? Could it be with Kong Sizhen? It's not like that. Kong Sizhen is also clever, otherwise how could he resolutely throw off Sun Yanling and throw herself into Li Fuchen's arms?

When Fu Honglie was anxious about Li Jiqing's good father not to "cheat his father", he suddenly heard Li Jiqing shouting "It's here", and then there was the neighing of horses.

Fu Honglie also hurriedly grabbed the reins and stopped a horse he was riding that was so tired that he was about to foam at the mouth - Li Jiqing was "eager to see his father" along the way, and after crossing the Han River, he galloped all the way.

I really don't know how much this kid has been wronged in the Li family, and he thinks so much about his "pit father" Sun Yanling?

Li Jiqing didn't care at all about what his marching Zuo Sima Fu Honglie thought at this time, anyway, he was fed up with the old Li family's "brother roll" - he turned out to be the only son in the family!

Not to mention brothers, sisters don't have any!

His parents gave birth to him!

And his parents are also very rich and powerful, he can have whatever he wants, and the servants and retainers in the family all revolve around him, even if he is outside, he is also a very popular existence among a large number of shoulder-to-shoulder Eight Banner nobles.

It's Dingnan Gege, and this Gege was changed by King Dingnan. In other words, when he grows up, it is very likely that he will inherit the title of King Pingnan and become the prince of the Qing Dynasty!

And he is very handsome, both civil and military, humble and polite, a group of Eight Banners princes who have daughters in the family see that he has nothing they don't like, and they all want to marry their daughters to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that his life before becoming Li Jiqing was simply like a hanging!

And when he was taken back to his father Li Fuchen by Kong Sizhen, he was not popular all of a sudden, except for his mother Kong Sizhen, no one held him in the palm of his hand anymore.

Not only is no one holding him, but there are also many people who are hostile to and exclude him!

In Lao Sun's family, he is the only seedling and the pearl of his palm.

Available at Lao Li's house. Li Fuchen has so many sons, there are three sons alone, and there are seventeen or eighteen concubines, and Li Jiqing is nominally a concubine, but in fact he is a sinful child, but he enjoys the treatment of a concubine, and even threatens the status of the eldest prince Li Jizhen, can this not be hostile and excluded?

And the old Li family is "Lu Buwo", among Li Fuchen's dozen or so sons who have grown a little big, most of them are with Lu Bu, they are not bad-looking, and they are all skilled in martial arts, and their kung fu is particularly outstanding. When Li Jiqing arrived among them, they were all a little mediocre.

And Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan, the "Lu Bu father and son", in the last battle of Mochou Lake, performed to protect themselves, which broke Li Jiqing's heart even more - if he was replaced by "Father Sun", he would definitely not protect himself regardless of his life or death.

After this incident, Li Jiqing missed his cheap father Sun Yanling more and more...... He was missing this, and Sun Yanling sent someone to find him.

And what surprised Li Jiqing even more was that this father Sun still told him in the letter that he could also help him marry Wu Xiaogang, the princess of Jiading in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

This is the real father!

Li Jiqing, who stopped his mount, began to look around looking for his "Sun Dapa", and he found that the Baihe River, which originally ran north-south, seemed to have turned a corner in this area and turned into an east-west direction. So where he is now, it has become the south bank of the White River. A long bridge spans the Baihe River, north of which is Nanyangfu, the capital of Henan Province in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a town protected by a low wall on the south bank.

This town is called Baihe Town, which was not prosperous originally, but after Wu Sangui built the capital of Chang'an, this Baihe Town and Nanyang Fucheng on the other side have become extremely important transportation hubs and material distribution centers. Grain and handicrafts transported from the Jianghan Plain and Dongting Lake Plain to Guanzhong will first be transported by water to Baihe Town and Nanyang Fucheng, and then pulled by horse-drawn carts and mule carts to Guanzhong.

At the same time, this Baihe Town and Nanyang Mansion City are Wu Zhoujun's old camp in Henan - now Nanyang is the capital of Henan Province! It is also the resident place of Wu Shifan, the grandson of Wu Zhou. Therefore, there are a large number of troops stationed there, and they are also like a magnet, absorbing manpower and material resources from all over Henan under the Zhou Dynasty, which makes this place more prosperous.

The small town of White River can no longer accommodate such prosperity, and the town's walls are crowded with streets and rows of shops. Now it's time for dinner, several restaurants and restaurants outside the walls of Baihe Town are doing thriving business, and the fragrance of wine and meat is blown by the wind, and it is everywhere, but Li Jiqing, who is bent on "father and son reunion", has no heart to find a restaurant to eat Nanyang cuisine.

He saw a guy from the restaurant who greeted the guests with a smile on his face, and opened his mouth to ask, "Where is the Baihe Town Pavilion?" ”

The guy saw Li Jiqing hugging back and forth, dressed in fine clothes, like a noble son, of course he didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly pointed to the city gate at the end of the street with a smile on his face: "This son, you look there, enter the city gate, and a compound on the left side of the street is the Baihe Town Pavilion Station." ”

"Thanks, tip!"

Li Jiqing gave an order, and then drove his horse forward, straight to the gate of Baihe Town, as soon as he entered the city, when he was looking east and west to look for the pavilion, he suddenly heard a very familiar and kind voice: "Qing'er!" ”

As soon as Li Jiqing heard this voice, he immediately burst into tears, and when he turned around, he saw his old father Sun Yanling standing on the street inside the town gate!

"Amma!" Li Jiqing cried and fell off the horse, quite a big person, and threw himself into Sun Yanling's arms while crying, "The child can be regarded as seeing your old man."

Sun Yanling also couldn't cry: "Qing'er, is it you?" Let the Father take a good look. Growing taller and stronger, you must have suffered a lot in the Li family these days, right? ”

As soon as he heard that he was suffering in the Li family, Li Jiqing cried even more, "Amma, they all bully children."

"They? Who are they? ”

"It's the sons of the living Lu Bu!" Li Jiqing gritted his teeth and said, "There is no good thing"

When Sun Yanling heard this, she was relieved, and she couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Qing'er is not afraid. Let's not go back to the Li family in the future, you are Sun Jiqing, my son of Sun Yanling! ”

"Really?" Li Jiqing looked down at "Father Sun", who was half a head shorter than himself, Amma, can I really not go back to Li's house? ”

"If you don't go back, why are you going back? You are not the son of Lu Bu! You're my son! Sun Yanling laughed with tears in his eyes, "And," he lowered his voice, "And after you marry Princess Jiading, you will be the concubine of Da Zhou. Our father and son will be the courtiers of the Great Zhou in the future! ”

"Amma, can I really marry Xiaogang?" Li Jiqing still couldn't believe it.

"Yes!" Sun Yanling dragged his son into a large courtyard on the side of the street as he spoke, this courtyard was the Baihe Town Pavilion Station, which was now completely under the control of Sun Yanling and Shang Shuying's personal soldiers.

After entering the courtyard of the pavilion, Sun Yanling pulled his son into an independent small building, closed the door again, and then said to his son: "Qing'er. We're going to have to take some risks to make it happen. ”

"Adventure?" Li Jiqing, no, it should be Sun Jiqing looking at his father, "Amma, why do you have to take risks in this matter?" ”

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, it's not much risk, we just need to rob Princess Jiading and flee to Guangxi, and the good thing will succeed!"

"What? robbery." Sun Jiqing was taken aback, "That's Princess Jiading of the Great Zhou!" ”

Sun Yanling nodded: "I know. Don't worry, this is actually the hope of the Great Zhou Emperor! The Great Zhou Emperor was unwilling to send his granddaughter back to Li Yat-sen to continue to be a concubine, but the surname Li was unwilling to return to Princess Jiading, and his old man was unwilling to smash the golden sign of 'keeping promises'. If we can rob Princess Jiading, he will have a step in his old man's house. ”

"But will Li Yat-sen send troops to attack me?" Sun Jiqing is still a little sensible.

"Don't be afraid," Sun Yanling said, "Let's take Guihai Town to Da Zhou!" The Great Zhou is the destiny of heaven, if you can take Guihai Town to take refuge in the Great Zhou, a stable country, you will be the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, and the glory and wealth are at your fingertips, isn't this better than you staying in the Li family? ”

Sun Yanling's words are said to Sun Jiqing's heart, although in Fu Honglie's opinion, he can become the "fourth son" after the three major sons-in-law of the Li family by kneeling and licking Li Jizhen and Li Zhongshan, and the future is bright - the "fourth son" of the Li family, that is a figure who can enter the inner circle of power in the Ming Dynasty. And Sun Jiqing took refuge in Da Zhou, even if he could bring the whole of Guangxi over, he was just a rich man, and he couldn't be compared with the figures in the inner circle of power.

But Sun Jiqing is used to being the eldest young master, and he can't bear the status of the "fourth son" at all, and for this status, he has to kneel and lick Li Jizhen and Li Zhongshan, he would rather follow Sun Yanling to be a rich man.

"Good!" Sun Jiqing nodded heavily, "Amma. I listen to you! But with the strength we have at hand, can we rob Princess Jiading? ”

"Yes!" Sun Yanling nodded, "It's not whether we can rob people, but the emperor and the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty want us to rob individuals, so this thing will definitely be done, if nothing happens, at most three months, your good deeds can be done!" ”

"It's going to be three months!" Sun Jiqing was a little anxious.

"Of course!" Sun Yanling said, "Although Princess Jiading is nominally Li Zhongshan's concubine, they don't have a round house. Li Zhongshan also knows how to measure and leave room for improvement. So you can't mess around, ask her to come to Guilin, and then propose to the emperor of the Great Zhou, and ask the Ming media to marry, so that you can have a good life in the future when you become a concubine and a prince in the Great Zhou! ”

"The children understand, the children listen to Amma!"

Sun Jiqing nodded heavily, he finally felt his father's love this time. It's just that if nothing else, this accident is coming!

Nanyang, Ye County.

The infantry, cavalry, artillery, and people pulling mule-horse carts of the brigade filled the official road, and tens of thousands of them were marching southward.

These tens of thousands of troops did not belong to the same country, but the armies of the two countries in the Ming and Zhou dynasties, and they went south from the territory of Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan. And the commanders of these armies are Li Zhongshan, Wu Shijue, and Wu Shifan.

This "war of aiding Fuquan and pouring blessings" in which the Ming Dynasty supported Fuquan and the Great Zhou opposed Fuquan finally ended with the complete defeat of Fuquan and the heavy losses of the Qing Dynasty.

As for the two armies that aided Fu and poured Fu, they were all victorious, and Li Yat-sen grabbed a whole prefecture (Chenzhou Mansion), a whole prefecture (Xuzhou), plus Xiayi, Yongcheng, Luyi in Guide, and Yanling in Kaifeng Prefecture. It doesn't seem like much, but this prefecture, one state and four counties are all the territory of Henan Province! Winning these territories means that Daming has returned to the Central Plains. The political symbolism is huge!

In addition, these territories can also be used as a buffer for Huaibei, so that Huaibei Prefecture and County do not have to directly face the attack of the Qing army.

And Wu Shifan also won hemp, he won Henan Province, Shaanzhou, Ruzhou and other prefectures. Among them, Luoyang, the capital county of Henan Prefecture, also has great political significance, and Nanyang, Wu Shifan's base, will no longer directly face the Qing Dynasty's soldiers.

In addition, Li Zhongshan also gave Wu Shifan a batch of hand-rubbed rifled guns, in case there is really any Xuanwu Sect, he can also have the ability to protect himself and even fight back.

So Wu Shifan, who was overjoyed, finally agreed to send his sister!

also accompanied Li Zhongshan to the south with Wu Shijue and went to Nanyang to pick up Wu Xiaogang.

This Wu Xiaogang. It can also be regarded as Li Yat-sen's "cultivation", naturally it is a girl he likes very much, and now he can finally receive it in the room, General Li is really happy and in good spirits now, he rode a lot briskly along the way, and he also talked and laughed with Wu Shifan and Wu Shijue, not to mention how happy.

Just when Li Zhongshan took his 10,000 army and the 20,000 army led by Wu Shifan and Wu Shijue into Ye County, he was about to arrive in Nanyang County, the capital county of Nanyang Prefecture. Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road ahead, Li Zhongshan looked up, and found that more than a dozen knights were coming, these knights were wearing red cloth iron armor, wearing Ming Dynasty-style helmets, and a small red pennant on the helmet, which should be Wu Shifan's personal soldiers.

These Wu Shifan's personal soldiers quickly rushed to the vicinity of Wu Shifan's handsome banner, and then one of them was brought up by Wu Shifan's guards, only to see the man kneeling on one knee and clenching his fists and reporting: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Jiading has been robbed!" ”

"What?"

"Surprised?"

"How is this possible? Who did it? ”

Li Zhongshan, Wu Shijue, and Wu Shifan exclaimed at the same time.

"It was done by the Duke of Dingnan County and the Gui Navy of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Sun Yanling and Li Jiqing? Are they crazy? Li Zhongshan was taken aback, but then he turned his sharp gaze to Wu Shifan, who was also surprised, and suddenly shouted: "Take down Taisun Zhou!" ”
