"The teacher is on top, and the student Zuo Ziguang Baibaiton is the first ......"

After Li Zhongyi read the long letter, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, what a scheming Zhao Er!

Since the strategy of chasing the Central Plains was decided, Li Zhongyi's priority was to first move the family members who stayed in Kaifeng City out of the capital, and then look for an opportunity to come east to Pinglu.

Zuo Ziguang did things, Li Zhongyi was very relieved, and also gave him full authority to let him do it.

Originally, everything went very smoothly. Mrs. Li, Mrs. Xue, Brother Bao and Tianya, and even Li Zhongyi's concubines and little babies secretly found out of the Li family's old house from the tunnel, and left the capital safely under the cover of the inner line of the Kaifeng Mansion Army.

It's just that although the Li family is fine, something happened on the way to Huang Jingsheng's retreat.

On the way to escape, Huang Jingsheng's only son suddenly developed pox. As a result, when he went ashore to look for Langzhong's illness, Huang Jingsheng was recognized by Zhao Laoer's own teeth, so it was a tragedy: the Huang family was wiped out, and all of them fell into the hands of Zhao Laoer.

After Zuo Ziguang's many inquiries, Zhao Lao Er did not hand over Huang Jingsheng's whole family to the imperial court, and he still does not know where to go.

Li Zhongyi put down the long letter in his hand, sighed softly again and again, and Han Xianglan, who was waiting on the side, asked boldly and tremblingly: "Master, what's wrong?" Could it be that something is uncomfortable? ”

Women in the back house are not allowed to interfere in politics, but Han Xianglan's questioning is very high-level and does not involve sensitive topics.

Li Zhongyi thought about it, and told Han Xianglan the ins and outs of the matter completely.

Han Xianglan couldn't help but gasp several times, her man and Huang Jingsheng were official sworn brothers. The Li and Huang families have a close relationship, sharing honor and disgrace, and the good of the family is not enough to describe the close relationship.

Now, Li Zhongyi's righteous brother Huang Jingsheng has fallen into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, and things have become very tricky.

"Master, you should find a way to save Uncle Huang." Han Xianglan had the courage to call Huang Jingsheng an uncle, and she had always been a little uneasy in her heart.

Fortunately, Li Zhongyi's mind was all on how to rescue Huang Jingsheng, but he really neglected Han Xianglan's arrogance.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth generation, the husband's brothers, including the brother of the righteous party, can only be called the main wife: uncle or uncle.

For example, Li Zhongyi's two sworn brothers, Huang Jingsheng is the eldest uncle, and Wang Dahu is the second uncle.

As for the husband's younger brothers, including the younger brother of the righteous family, they are all called uncles.

Han Xianglan is just the position of a concubine, and calling her uncle is actually an unruly act.

Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Huang Jingsheng's whole family had fallen into the hands of others, and there was still a way to secretly rescue him. However, if it fell into the hands of Zhao Laoer, there was almost no way to quietly rescue him.

Zhao Lao Er is not as good as others, his thoughtfulness is meticulous, and the means of winning people's hearts are exquisite, if there is no Li Zhongyi's birth, the future world will definitely be surnamed Zhao.

"Well, it's hard to do." Li Zhongyi frowned, he couldn't figure it out, and his mood was extremely bad all of a sudden.

Li Zhongyi went out this time, only brought Han Xianglan, but did not bring Ye Xiaolan, Han Xianglan was inexplicably moved in her heart.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi was in a bad mood, Han Xianglan simply snuggled into his arms and whispered, "Master, if you are bored and panicked, why don't you call the Zheng family too?" ”

Li Zhongyi's purpose in bringing Han Xianglan was mainly to let her help deal with the official government affairs and military affairs that came later, and it was impossible for her to get involved.

Zheng, he doesn't understand anything, he can only please Li Zhongyi's body. To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi and Zheng stayed together, and there was no other common language except to enjoy the joy of aggression.

Han Xianglan is very smart, Li Zhongyi is actually a very self-disciplined man, and he will never touch wine when the army marches.

It's just that Li Zhongyi is a normal man after all, and he has never stopped working hard to keep his muscles and bones, and his physical strength can be described as very good.

During the march, he occasionally hugged the beauty, had a good time, and then covered his head and rested for an hour or two. After waking up, Li Zhongyi's whole spirit will be more vibrant, and his brain will become extremely flexible.

After a long time, Li Zhongyi became accustomed to it, and when he was marching for a long time, he always had to bring one or two beautiful concubines to do a lot of good things.

In this era, the roads were almost unpaved, and there were potholes everywhere. The carriage was walking on the road, and it was very bumpy, and people in the carriage were actually suffering.

Moreover, the shock-absorbing performance of horse-drawn carriages and modern cars cannot be compared at all, as if they were worlds apart.

Therefore, if you are not tired, it is difficult for ordinary people to sleep well in the carriage, and they may be woken up anytime and anywhere.

Just as Li Zhongyi lowered his head and pondered, a small hand slowly but firmly probed into his lower robe, Li Zhongyi looked up, but only saw Han Xianglan's coiled dragon bun.

Li Zhongyi wanted to push Han Xianglan away, but after thinking about it, the woman was also considerate of his bad mood, so he simply went with her.

Han Xianglan and Zheng have served Li Zhongyi more than 100 times together, and she knows the preferences of men well.

Maybe Li Zhongyi was not in a good mood, and Han Xianglan tried his best to make the man comfortable.

Li Zhongyi leaned on the soft couch, admiring Han Xianglan's embarrassing appearance of rinsing her mouth one after another, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied. Although Han Xianglan has a lot of eyes, once she is conquered, she is indeed a great interpreter and bed partner.

According to the usual practice, the entire process of marching was commanded by Liao Shanhe, who was commanded and dispatched by the Guards, and if Li Zhongyi, the commander-in-chief, intervened too much, it would not be conducive to cultivating talents.

The net of heaven and earth composed of more than 20,000 soldiers of the Li family army is gradually taking shape, and the encirclement is constantly shrinking from the periphery to the interior.

In Nanpo Village, at the foot of Jinshan Mountain, sixty miles south of Linzi County, Ming Sect Pope Mu Yi led seven or eight henchmen, each holding a beautiful female believer, who was drinking and having fun.

Mother B, in fact, was not originally called Mother B, but the ancestral training of their family, each generation of the head of the family, is called Mother B.

Mother B's grandfather is the real Mother B, and the family is called: Grandmother B.

Grandmother B, originally from Chenzhou, later converted to Manichaeism and gradually became a leader. Manichaeism believes in the triumph of light over darkness, frugal living, and mutual aid.

Inspired by this slogan, due to the chaos of five generations of warlords, it was very common for the people to have a poor livelihood, and Grandmother B, who preached mutual assistance among believers, gradually won the hearts of the people by helping others by taking advantage of the power vacuum of the imperial power in the county.

In the sixth year of the Later Liang Zhenming Dynasty, that is, in 920 AD, grandmother B couldn't hold back her ambition and called on the believers to rise up against Liang.

Soon, Grandmother B conquered the land of Sanzhou and established herself as the Son of Manichaeism, which was the most glorious moment of Mother B's family.

Zhu Youzhen, the late emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty, mobilized the elite soldiers of several states, and after a year of fighting, finally extinguished the Manichaean state established by his grandmother B. Grandmother B, Dong Yi and other Manichaean leaders were arrested and taken to Kaifeng and their heads were cut off.

Since then, Mu Yi's family has turned light into darkness and carried out secret activities to spread cults among the people, especially in poor areas.

Before Li Zhongyi took charge of Pinglu, Linzi County, which was full of war, became the base for the development of evil forces in the Muyi family.

In the entire Linzi County, there are only 18,000 people, and the number of followers of the Ming Sect exceeds 2,000, accounting for more than one-tenth.

This is also the fundamental factor why Li Zhongyi gathered heavy troops and launched an all-round encirclement and suppression of Mingjiao. If Mu Yi is allowed to continue to grow and develop, sooner or later there will be a big chaos of rebellion among the sect members.

Li Zhongyi has not been in charge of Pinglu for a long time, after all, the pavilion chief sent down, the real reliable force in his hands is only a few troops.

The pavilion chief stationed in Jinshan is named Gao Shan, who was originally the deputy head of the First Army, and he led the troops of Yishi, and when he was stationed at the foot of Jinshan, he was targeted by Mu Yi.

At first, Mu Yi thought that Gao Shanshan was just here to be an official, and as long as he gave him some money, he would be sent away.

Who would have thought that Gao Cheng not only did not want money, but even gave money and food to the poor people. is just an invitation to sell people's hearts, and Mu B will not secretly poison Gao Shan.

What worries Mu Yi the most is that after Gao Shan's arrival in Jinshan, in addition to counting the dingkou, livestock and land in each village, he also called a meeting of the village to train the village soldiers to protect the family and defend the township.

This time, it completely angered Mother B!

Mu Yi is not an ordinary farmer and fool, he knows very well in his heart that he is working against Li Zhongyi, who is strong and strong, and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat.

The disparity in strength is too great, which is also the basic factor that Mother B has always tolerated high handles. It's just that once Gao Shanshan trains the township soldiers into shape, at the foot of the entire Golden Mountain, where is there a place for his mother B to stand?

Therefore, Mu Yi carefully planned a conspiracy to make people excuse themselves to make trouble, and then asked Gao Shan to decide right and wrong.

Gao Shan was only a professional soldier before, and although he had entered the military and political academy for further study, he had no experience in dealing with cults after all.

As a result, he only brought a retinue to the high handle on the road, and was ambushed by Mu B in the middle of the road, and the marksman who was privately trained by the Mingjiao succeeded in the sneak attack and lost his life.

Mu Yi assassinated Gao Shan, if he went incognito, or went away, with his strong latent power in Linzi County, it was very likely that he would cover up the appalling truth.

The reason is actually very simple: after Li Zhongyi founded the army in Hechi, the development of the entire army was working hard in the direction of winning the future national war.

A professional predator who has no problem going head-to-head with the enemy. However, in terms of civil security cases, relying only on the former professional soldiers who have been transferred to their posts is very inadequate.

For example, criminal cases, especially homicide cases, must rely on the professional assistance of state and county officials.

These works have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are all locals, and when they encounter cases secretly done by Mingjiao, they will inevitably hide their selfish intentions and completely distort the road to solving the case.

This is why the old saying goes, the root cause of a strong dragon not suppressing the head snake is that the local powerful faction secretly colludes with local officials to act as a protective umbrella, and there are connections accumulated by the people for many years of operation.

Gao Shan's death was unexpected, and what he ate was not widely connected, and he became blind.

True to the old saying, if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy!

After Mu Yi killed Gao Shan, she actually hung Gao Shan's head quietly on a branch near the Linzi City Gate.

At this moment, the entire Linzi garrison was completely enraged!

Li Jiajun's patrol envoy stationed in Linzi was a person who understood, he did not make a big noise on the surface, and after secretly investigating the mastermind, he realized the seriousness of the matter, so he crossed the state government and directly wrote to Li Zhongyi, requesting that a large army be sent to suppress it.

Li Zhongyi was very aware of the great threat posed by the cult to the Pinglu regime, so after finding out the truth in Linzi. Under the guise of welcoming Concubine Du and King Cao, he secretly mobilized an army of 20,000 troops, and it is conceivable that his determination is not ordinary!

"Jiaozun, the villain heard that Li Xianggong of Dengzhou has arrived in Qizhou." It was Xie Jia, mother B's henchman, who spoke.

Xie Jia usually does not stay at the foot of Jinshan in Linzi, but opens a grain store in Zizhou, doing grain trading while inquiring about the news of the garrison.

Mother B probed her hand in the arms of the female believer, and took out a few handfuls fiercely, the female believer couldn't bear the pain, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, not to mention how wronged.

"Very well, if you cry, you will be pulled out, chopped up and fed to the wild dogs." Mother B can develop a huge force in the realm of Linzi, and she is by no means a soft-hearted and benevolent person.

"Sect Zun, the villain is smashing it, it seems that something is wrong...... Xie Jia's sense of smell has always been sensitive, he hid and sensed a trace of something wrong, but for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Before Mu Yi could speak, Zhang Xiaoyi on the side shouted with disdain: "I said Brother Xie Jia, don't talk all day long, what's wrong?" Besides, behind us is Jinshan, ten miles away from the village, and eyeliner is arranged. There is a slight stir, it's a big deal, let's go directly into the mountains and hide for a while, just avoid the limelight. ”

Zhang Xiaoyi and Xie Jia, although they are both henchmen of mother B, the difference is quite big.

Xie Jia is good at using his brain, Zhang Xiaoyi is a practitioner, and he is really good at fist and foot kung fu, and the three or five people who are waiting for him can't get close to him at all.

"Shut up." Mu Yi was most tired of someone making noise in his ears, Xie Jia and Zhang Xiaoyi both knew that Mu Yi was ruthless, so they didn't dare to make noise anymore.

"Wang Xiaosan, you take a few people out to have a look, and once you find that something is wrong, quickly ring the gong to warn." Mu Yi is a deep-thinking guy, although he doesn't fully believe what Xie Jia said, but he still knows the truth that being careful can always sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Wang Xiaosan was very reluctant to leave Wenrou Township and go out to drink the northwest wind, but he didn't dare to disobey Mu Yi's orders. He had to reluctantly get under the skirt of the woman next to him, and took out a few handfuls, and then got up lazily and went out to inspect.

After Wang Xiaosan left, Mu Yi waved his hand and drove out the rest of his henchmen, leaving only Xie Jia, who was full of cleverness.

"Xie Jia, do you mean that you are worried that Li Zhongyi is planning to attack the west, nominally in order to welcome King Cao, and secretly wants to encircle and suppress us?" Mu Yi was very weak in his heart, at the beginning, he sent someone to hang the head of the high handle on the branch, and regretted it within two days.

"Sect Honor, to put it in my heart, the villain is just a feeling, and there is no real evidence." Before Xie Jia's words fell, he suddenly heard a violent dog barking at the foot of the Golden Mountain.

"Oh no, strangers are coming down the mountain!" Mu Yihuo stood up, pushed the half-fruit girl in her arms to the ground, picked up the long knife on the side of the stool, and ran outside.
