Li Jing stayed in the Taishi Mansion for two days, and then left and returned to Chentangguan. Before leaving, Shang Rong gave Li Jing the 'listening to the wind' and instructed: "When I was studying, my teacher gave me this qin, and now I think about it for more than 60 years, I have also taught you the art of the piano, although you are diligent and studious, but your qualifications are poor." Now I will transfer this piano to you, I hope you will not forget your original intention. ”

Let's say that more than half a month has passed since this back and forth, and everything is as usual in Chentang Pass.

Li Jing returned to Chentangguan for more than two months, there is a saying that there is an autumn rain and a cold, at this time it is the 20th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it has rained a few more, and the people are busy with the autumn harvest. The outside is busy, and the affairs in the customs are busy with officials of all sizes, and he, the chief soldier, can finally be idle, occasionally practice swords, and boil up his body.

On this morning, Li Jing finished practicing the dance and was wiping his sword with a cotton cloth. The Heavenly King system suddenly popped up with a task.

Mission: Survive until the end of the Chentangguan Riots (unfinished)

Rewards: Level up the Five Elements Retreat and get the passive - Music Theory (Rough Pass).

Penalties: None.

Li Jing was wondering in his heart, saying that this system could add drama to himself out of thin air and release some inexplicable tasks, when he suddenly saw the housekeeper coming in a hurry, and asked suspiciously: "Li Er, what's wrong?"

The housekeeper's surname is Li, the second in the family, and he has no name, so everyone calls him Li Er, and he has been in the Li Mansion for more than 30 years. is honest and responsible, careful and cautious, and has won Li Jing's trust.

The housekeeper said, "Master, General Su has an urgent report. ”

Li Jing thought in his heart that Su Lie was his favorite general, and it was estimated that there was an urgent matter when he came to report it in person. said: "Tell him to wait for me in the main hall, and I will be there shortly." ”

approved a coat, Li Jing didn't say anything about wiping his sweat, and went straight to the main hall. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Su Lie standing there upright. Li Jing is tall enough, Su Lie is a head taller than him, a square head, and a headband on his head, and his tendons and flesh look powerful.

Su Lie heard the footsteps, turned around and saw Li Jing, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "General, it's dishonest from the north again." I was training the soldiers in the barracks this morning, when suddenly a herald hurriedly ran in, saying that there was a movement inside Laiyi, and that there were tens of thousands of soldiers. This group of barbarians hasn't moved for six years, and I'm afraid there will be a big move this time. ”

The so-called Laiyi is the Hu people.

Li Jing thought in his heart: Knowing that I, Li, am guarding Chentang Pass, and dare to gather strength to gather soldiers, I think there is something wrong. said: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come." Send more scouts to find out what's going on, and don't act rashly yet. After thinking about it again, he said, "Tell the officials in the customs to get busy and grab the crops." ”

Li Jing hurriedly summoned a few officials and ordered this and so. When everyone retreated, Li Jing couldn't help but feel a pain in his brain, there were 18,000 troops in Chentang Pass, and there was plenty of food and grass, so if there were no 70,000 or 80,000 people, he didn't want to take it down, so if Laiyi came to invade him, he was not worried about the crops of the common people. In the past few years, the taxes have been heavy, although he Li has pressed the people under him and dare not collect them indiscriminately, the people are still not good, and they rely on this harvest all year round. If Laiyi were to invade at this time, I don't know how many people would starve to death.

The sun gradually set, but the people in Chentang Pass did not sleep, and the torches lit by the fields illuminated the surroundings. Chentangguan is hot, Laiyi is not idle, the barracks are singing and dancing at this time, there is a bonfire in the middle, some seven-foot-tall strong men are tattooed, and their shirtless shirts are dancing around the bonfire. Several chiefs sat at the wine table and munched on meat. The flesh was obviously undercooked, and blood was still dripping from the veins.

Suddenly, one of the chiefs held up the bowl made of animal skulls in his hand and said, "Let us toast the great chief!"

The great chieftain was more than eight feet tall, with a giant python more than five feet long, hovering around his waist and back, wearing a tigerskin robe and a stag antlers on his head. The great chief's name was Hulcha, and he was the son of the old chief. Since the defeat of Emperor Xin personally cut off the head of the old leader more than 20 years ago, the Shang Dynasty army slaughtered their land for three days and three nights. The big leader fled into the mountains with the tribe's witch, and this escape was not seen for more than ten years. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that the big leader returned, destroyed the dissatisfied leaders, and unified Laiyi.

Nahurcha has a black, purple, black and purple jar in his hand, and the jar has a strange pattern on it, which is a good baby. It was with this treasure that as soon as he chanted a spell in the tribe that day, a black light burst out of the jar, and only a few screams were heard, and those disobedient leaders were lucky enough to lose their heads, and unfortunately they were brushed off most of their bodies, leaving only two legs still shaking in the ground. It was really cruel, and the leaders watching from the side shouted in their hearts that they were lucky, but fortunately they surrendered early.

For a month and a half, Laiyi actually gathered enough 120,000 troops, and with a wave of Huercha's big hand, the 120,000 troops went straight to Chentangguan to kill. The big leader looked at his army and grinned, and said, "When the pass is broken, we will kill for seven days and seven nights, pay the blood debt, and let the world know our cruelty!"
