In the cold winter season, in this era of withering people's livelihood, Jinling City still maintains an alternative prosperity.

It seems that the cold climate and the changes in state affairs outside have not affected this city in the slightest.

The Qinhuai River is still brightly lit, singing and dancing on the painting boat, and the previous scholars who participated in the Houfu Literary Association seem to have forgotten the previous mutiny, and they who survived by luck continue to indulge in selflessness, talking about state affairs, discussing poetry, and scholarly business in various Fengyue places.

However, Li Xiuyuan has been closed during this time.

Although he didn't go out, he knew the situation in Yangzhou well.

Since Shi Hu captured a county seat, Li Liangjin led the rebels three days later to capture Antai County, seven days later to capture Yongping City, the number of rebels grew to 50,000 people, and then swept through Yongping counties, and five days later to Yangzhou, all the way to the county to take the county, to take the city to take the city, destroy the withered and decaying, as if there is no army to block, easy to win.

These battle reports came from all over the country, and they all fell into Li Xiuyuan's hands.

In the study, Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands in his hands, frowning and staring, and in front of him hung a map of Yangzhou, which marked the location of Li Liangjin's rebels.

"There are only 30,000 bandits, even if there are ghosts and monsters to help, they can sweep dozens of cities in Yangzhou in less than a month, which is too incredible, so Yangzhou really has soldiers and troops to protect the city?"

He muttered to himself, shocked by the weakness of this Great Song Kingdom.

He received information that Li Liangjin's rebels had never fought for more than two hours after the capture of a city.

In other words, in less than an afternoon, a city was knocked down.

If it was a county seat, he could understand it, but so were several large cities with strong cities, which he couldn't understand.

If rebellion is so easy, anyone with a little ambition will be eager to try it when they hear the news.

Not to mention others, it was Li Xiuyuan who heard that Li Liangjin was so easy to advance all the way, he wanted to rise up, after all, it was too restrictive to honestly gain fame.

If it is a prosperous time, it is natural that this must be done.

But now that the dynasty is at the end of the day, natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and demons and monsters are rampant, and it will inevitably seem a little pedantic to gain fame again.

"We have to wait, wait a few more days, there is no news from Zhu Yu's side. Li Xiuyuan closed his eyes and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

As soon as the position of guerrilla general bought by Zhu Yu arrived, he could raise an army.

The manpower of the dart shop has arrived in Guobei County, there are a lot of people, there are more than 7,000 people, and the number is still increasing, after all, this manpower is not available in a while.

Weapons and armor are also being prepared, and the ghosts and gods of the four directions are also secretly accumulating.

It can be said that everything is ready now, only the east wind is missing.

Suddenly, at this time, Li Linfu's figure suddenly appeared on a wall in the study, he came in through the wall, and said with an anxious expression, "Childe, something is wrong, the imperial court sent an envoy today, and suddenly dismissed Master Fu from his official position, and arrested Master Fu and imprisoned him. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised, but he was not surprised.

"Sure enough, Fu Tianqiu's official fortune has come to an end, I was worried when Fu Qingfeng was sick before, so I asked Fu Tianqiu for the position of a guerrilla general, just because I was worried that he would not have the right to help me after he was deposed, and now it has really come true. ”

"What should Childe do now. Li Linfu said.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Why should an envoy be afraid of him, since he wants to be punished with me, then let him not get out of Yangzhou City today." ”

After speaking, there was a little coldness in his eyes.

If he wants to do great things, how can he be entangled by a corrupt official and corrupt official, and he can have the kung fu to deal with it on weekdays, but now....... There is not so much time left.

"Husband, there is a team of officials knocking on the door outside the door, and they are looking for the husband by name. At this time, Qingmei walked in with a somewhat anxious look and spoke.

Li Xiuyuan came back to his senses and frowned: "The yamen's officials?"

"Yes. Qingmei nodded.

"I see. Li Xiu said from afar.

It's really fast, and I'm going to arrest someone.

But when he came out of the study and just arrived at the courtyard, he saw a man outside the wall of another courtyard suddenly coming in over the wall, this man he knew, it was Fu Tianqiu's guard named Xiaoliu.

Xiao Liu came in vigorously, and he hurriedly said, "Li Gongzi go quickly, leave Jinling City quickly, don't open the door, those officials outside the door are here to arrest Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi, go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late." ”

"Has Master Fu been dismissed and imprisoned?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

Xiao Liu was shocked: "Li Gongzi, how do you know, Master Fu has just been dismissed from his official position by the imperial court envoy and arrested in prison. ”

"Why did you flee? Isn't this escape more realistic, and I am about to go to the Yamen? Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

"Li Gongzi, don't be like this, Master Fu said that you must ensure the safety of Li Gongzi, and you must not be poisoned by those corrupt officials, this matter only needs to be dodged for a few days, and when the court incident occurs, Li Gongzi will be safe and sound. Xiaoliu said.

"How can corrupt officials and corrupt officials retreat from harming people, and if I retreat, won't it even more encourage arrogance? After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he strode towards the door.

Open the door.

But I saw a pair of officials standing there, with waist knives hanging from their waists, holding chains in their hands, Xing Shan, a somewhat emaciated man, staring at them with a big bow, as if they would draw their bows and shoot them on the spot as soon as they stepped into the mansion.

"Xing Shan, step aside, good life protection lady, I already know about this matter, I will deal with it. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Your Excellency has an order, Li Xiuyuan has the possibility of colluding with the traitor Fu Tianqiu, and he specially ordered me to wait for arrest, Li Xiuyuan, please come with us, don't be useless resistance. ”

One of the team leaders said, and then waved his hand to signal the two officials to arrest Li Xiuyuan.

The two servants held the chains, and the shackles went up to detain the people.

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his foot and kicked, and the two officials screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood, and directly threw it away more than two feet away, and fell to the ground and passed out.

"If you want to detain me, you will strip me of my fame first, and then you want to strip me of my fame, but this envoy does not have this right. ”

The team leader was shocked when he saw this, and retreated again and again in fright; "Li Xiuyuan, do you want to rebel?"

"If I wanted to rebel against you, I have now taken off my head. Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "What are you doing there, since the envoy has asked me not to lead the way, dare to be rude to me again."

"Yes, yes, yes. Li Gongzi in front of please. The team leader wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said with a smile.

This talent is too powerful, he has never met such a person in his life.

glanced at the official who had passed out on the side of the road, and the squad leader was even more cold sweat in his heart, kicking and flying so far, how much strength is this show.

"Team leader, this Li Xiuyuan is the Xiucai who jumped one of General Ji's arms with one shot in the Hou Mansion before, and his martial arts are very high. On the way, another official found an opportunity to have an ear canal.

The team leader was shocked when he heard this, and glared at him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

Then the team leader became more and more polite, and he was as attentive as serving his wife along the way.

He is not stupid, he has not yet arrived at the Yamen, if this Li Xiuyuan wastes a few arms and legs of his own, he has no place to cry, and if he wants to be arrogant, he has to wait for this Li Xiuyuan to be convicted of death and go to prison.

After coming to the Yamen, Li Xiuyuan entered the Yamen, and saw a son-in-law in his early twenties, wearing the official uniform of an envoy, sitting on the main seat, eating snacks and humming a little song.

Next to her, a young, beautiful and somewhat childish woman stood here with a tray and tea and snacks, pursing her lips and looking aggrieved.

This woman is none other than Fu Yuechi.

"Yuechi, what are you doing here?" Li Xiuyuan's face immediately sank when he saw this scene, and he said a little angrily.

"Ah~!" Fu Yuechi was startled, the frightened tray fell to the ground, and then said with a pitiful look of almost crying: "Sister, brother-in-law, father, father was dismissed from his official position and arrested in prison." ”

"I ask what you're doing here?" Li Xiuyuan said as he strode over.

Fu Yuechi lowered his head and said, "Yang, Lord Yang said that as long as I listen to his orders, I can help my father alleviate his crimes." ”

Listen to him and mitigate the crime?

Li Xiuyuan's face turned cold, I was afraid that this son-in-law from the capital would take a fancy to your beauty, so use this matter as a threat.

"Where's the breeze?"

Fu Yuechi cried: "And, I am with my father, and I am also in the cell. ”

Li Xiuyuan strode over with a cold face and pulled her over from the envoy: "Leave the matter here to me to solve, you go back to my house and stay first, Xiaomei will deal with something." ”

"Second Miss Fu, your father and sister are not saved when you leave, don't blame the official for not giving you this opportunity when the time comes. The young Envoy Yang yawned at this time and woke up and said faintly.

"Brother-in-law. Fu Yuechi was a little hesitant again, not knowing whether to stay or leave.

Li Xiuyuan stared at him and said, "Don't you think it's too shameless to threaten a little woman with such a means?"

"When you rebel against the party, you don't kneel down when you see this official, but you dare to insult this official, because you see that this official is young and not majestic enough, so you are easy to bully?" ”

The officials on both sides of the lobby hesitated at the moment, but still clenched their fists and responded: "Yes, my lord." ”

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and said, "Fifty boards, do you want to beat me to death?" I am not very old, and my heart is ruthless, no wonder I was sent by the imperial court to be an envoy, and some vicious methods in the officialdom are very skillful." ”

Fifty boards are beaten heavily, as long as the execution of the official is strong enough, it is easy to kill a person.

"Seeing that this official doesn't kneel, and his attitude is so bad, he doesn't give you a little color to see if you are just a showman?"

Li Xiuyuan walked to the desk and stretched out his finger to the desk, looking weak, but at this point, the heavy desk in front of him immediately snapped into two, as if it had been cut in half by a knife.

"If you want to do it, I'll accompany you to do it, but I don't know if Envoy Yang's neck is as hard as this desk, at such a close distance, I can take your head in the blink of an eye. ”

stared at him with a murderous intent as he spoke.

Seeing this scene, the official who was about to step forward was shocked and immediately stopped.

Yang Shangling, who was still arrogant before, froze for a while, and his whole body trembled a little, especially in the face of Li Xiuyuan's fierce eyes, as if he had seen a sharp big knife, and wanted to kill himself.

"Li Xiuyuan, do you dare to do something to this official? Do you want your whole family to live anymore?"

But after a short look of fear, Admiral Yang immediately burst into a rage, and said with some inwardness.

"If you say this, you will not be forgiven. ”

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the placket of his clothes, and directly lifted him up under the frightened eyes of this Yang Shang, and threw him away.

"Touch~!"

Yang Shang's face fell to the ground, and he fell heavily on the lobby, sliding forward more than a foot away.
