The two sides confronted each other, and when Luan was anxious, Liu Hai had new results. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He captured and killed Li Cao's brother Li Gao in a battle, and forced the city of Shangzhou, and the counties of Shangzhou drew a line with Li Cao, and many people took the initiative to capture and kill Li Cao's cronies in exchange for the trust of the imperial court...... The land south of the Yangtze River has made it difficult for the Li Cao family to gain a foothold, and even if it is a close relative, the Li family, there are constantly people who surrender and break with Li Cao.

Li Cao was taken aback when he heard this, but he couldn't return to his teacher.

He was originally worried that his strength was not enough, and he advanced to Qingde trapped under the fortified city, but at this time, he was also forced to attack the tiger prison to make up for the cost of tens of thousands of troops.

Luan Qi was afraid that the tiger prison would be lost, Li Caobing came to Qingde City, the court blamed, and while begging for the crime, he urgently ordered Liu Hai to give up the strategy Li Cao's lair, return to Jiangbei, help Lu Ping guard Qingde, and attack Li Cao.

At this time, when he returned to the division, Li Cao only needed to divide the division, and he could pick up the counties of Shangzhou, which the family had worked hard to manage and had intertwined personnel. Liu Hai did not dare to receive the order, he judged that Li Cao's army would be in turmoil, and Li Cao himself was fighting in Jiangbei, and the generals who stayed in Dingtao and Jiangyin must be more aware of the situation, and they must not have the heart to be enterprising, so they simply let Dingtao and Jiangyin not attack, and recruited people to build boats, and suddenly ordered the general Zhang Gengyao and Li Chengliang to lead 3,000 people to cross the river at night.

Li Cao pulled out troops to rescue him in the middle of the night, and Luan was newly defeated, although he knew that the enemy had changed, he did not dare to respond.

After several wars in the south of the Yangtze River, the army is no longer what it used to be, Zhang Gengyao's troops fought until dawn, held Mengkou, and left a springboard for the army to cross the river, however, the department suffered heavy losses, and the general Li Chengliang was killed in the middle of the arrow, and the soldiers were killed and wounded more than 30%. After dawn, the psychological hints transmitted to them by Liu Hai played a role, and Li Cao's army was in great confusion, thinking that Dingtao and Jiangyin were lost, and the officers and soldiers crossed the river to attack.

Li Cao was also suspicious in his heart, regardless of it, he did his best to attack Mengkou, Luan saw that there were birds and birds in the enemy's camp, and he did not return to the camp for a long time, and finally went to battle, taking advantage of his army to prepare for a long time against the wind, and to throw a train to throw fire to assist, go into battle, behead more than 10,000 people, and win a complete victory. Li Cao only took more than 100 horsemen out and was killed by his generals halfway.

The news was transmitted back to the imperial court, and the imperial court rewarded Liu Hai more than Luan Qi.

Liu Hai came from outside the Saiwai, no friends and relatives and friends to build momentum, Luan Qi was entrenched in the army, and some people came out to say that Liu Hai did not listen to orders, and he was defeated in a decisive battle with Li Cao, and the army suffered heavy losses, but he was rewarded.

At the same time, the emperor gave Liu Qi a pig to marry the matter, and the nobles of Changyue began to use it as a laughing stock.

Liu Hai sent 5,000 people to the south independently, almost using his own strength to quell the rebellion and make great contributions, but the father and son became the laughing stock on the streets of Changyue.

Liu Qi was also a little embarrassed.

He can take the emperor's gift of a pig to himself as a joke, but it is difficult to listen to others' contempt for Abba, and sometimes he is so angry that his face is red and his neck is thick, but he has no way to stop the mouths of the people.

Defeat and merit is to deceive the world to shame, in the face of the terrible words and intrigue in the palace, Liu Qi lives like a year.

In the blink of an eye, Cangzhou was hit by locusts, the people were coerced, and the rebellion intensified.

Because of the urgency of the military situation, the imperial court did not even let Liu Hai return to Beijing to be summoned, so he urged him to take up his post. Liu Hai supplemented some men and horses in Shangzhou, and led the light cavalry of his department to Cangzhou first, and the infantry followed by boats. Empress Lu also heard some rumors and rumors about Liu Hai, and because of this, she simply crowned Liu Hai as a marquis, and was awarded the title of General of the Pillar Kingdom, and increased the number of food and euphem by 500 households to deal with it, and the total number of sealed households before and after was already 1,500 households. All of a sudden, there were many gossips about the ministers ascending to the sky in one step.

The matter was revealed page by page, and the emperor also arrived on the day of his wedding.

The preparation time was given, and by mid-May, the emperor made an edict to welcome the queen, and asked the patriarch, Taichang and others to organize the wedding and welcome the female lotus to the house of Lu Botong. Although the operation time is short, but the ceremony is unimaginably grand, the whole Changyue Street is full of colorful silk, forest road wine, as long as there is a lord, you can drink.

On the day of the wedding, Liu Qi wore a gorgeous dress woven by the inner court, went out early, and rubbed two glasses of water and wine on the side of the road before entering the palace.

Another waiter, Modu, was already sweating, relieved his mind and cooled, and when he saw that Liu Qi was neatly dressed, he asked, "Liu Qi!" Are you hot or not? ”

Liu Qi also felt hot, but said: "If your heart is quiet, it will be cold." ”

He put his hand in the distance, and saw a little boy wearing yellow stripes in and out, and couldn't help asking: "Why is that young man's clothes different from ours?" ”

"That's His Royal Highness! You don't know? Welcoming relatives is for their own brothers. Modu whispered.

As he was talking, a steward came over and rehearsed the details with a sharp voice, and everyone responded coldly and hotly.

Liu Qi saw that the four selected housekeepers were going to lead the cow away, felt funny, and asked, "What should we do if the cow behind us suddenly runs around?" Or? ”

Zhan Shiyi knew that he was amused in his heart, thinking that he was afraid that the cow would suddenly become powerful, so he was shocked, and kindly said: "The cow's ass is sealed, no." Then he shook off the dust, and asked everyone to set up a few columns, and Mingjin went to pick up the car.

From Fusang, he picked up his relatives and rode Yunhan, and was led out of the palace gate by Yin Qing of the capital city.

The emperor does not have to go to someone's house to greet his relatives, but his party also passes through several doors and makes a gesture of welcome. The emperor also wore a crown of leather knots on his head, and carried Xiao Xuzi down from his shoulder, and walked forward with one of his elder brothers. Liu Qi and three other attendants, each with a sword, one holding a bow and arrow, one holding an arrow bag, one holding a bamboo, one holding a white silk, four Zhongshu people from the king's car, Zhonglang will lead the colorful ox to go, follow behind the emperor, and send him to the head of the tiger - the golden public opinion of the Xiongzhang Horn Banner.

The golden cymbals and yellow Yue, the golden gourd and the silver screen, the people and horses Hao Hao soup from the palace to the inner city, a moment of spinning.

Everyone led Feng Luan, the daughter of the princess, to the venue of the noon gate outside the palace, and the emperor and his entourage also came out. The big cart and the Luan chariot drove in side by side, and the warriors in tiger clothes and officials followed the arch. Before entering the chapter hall, it was the feather crown civil official singing, the princess clan, and the hundred officials were all ordered to stand outside the palace of the royal family to tell the ancestors of heaven and earth, waiting for the royal army, and the elders of the queen mother's clan were in the palace.

When they saw the emperor coming in a nine-horse carriage, they knelt on the ground in black pressure.

Liu Qi followed the vehicle and walked on the wide road left behind, only to see that the Queen Mother did not kneel there, and the rest were people who knelt on the ground one by one, and suddenly hit by something in their hearts, and looked around, looking at the grand scene, the heads were motionless under the sun, and suddenly remembered his promise in the Crook Division, saying that he would drive to pick up, and he wanted to drive to pick up in the future.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone remind me in the sound of the hundred music: "Offer your bow and arrows." ”

Liu Qi was distracted and didn't hear clearly.

Suddenly, a shout aloud shouted in the distance: "There are assassins, escort!" ”

There was chaos in the field.

The singer changed his voice and sang: "Protect the Queen Mother!" "All the officials are going north, and only a few people go south to the holy driving side. The two camps gradually became clear.

Liu Qi saw several warriors rushing towards him angrily, like assassins, he got up with a roar, jumped into the cart, stood in front of the emperor, and shouted: "Escort!" ”

He held a bag of arrows and shouted for a bow, but vaguely heard Xiao Xuzi whispering to the emperor: "Don't be afraid." ”

Liu Qi didn't care what they said, seeing the hundred officials running around like bees and ants, rushing away the Lang army who was originally holding the gold, and the carriage was running, almost past the guards and others in front, sweating in a hurry, and shouting for bows and arrows.

"To the Emperor, to the Emperor!"

Xiao Xuzi snatched the quiver and gave it to the emperor.

Liu Qi thought that with his archery skills, he could block the thief, so he hurriedly grabbed it, but was held by Xiao Xuzi and screamed angrily: "My emperor Shenwu, give the arrow quickly." ”

Liu Qi saw that the emperor had already raised his bow, and he couldn't care about fighting anymore, so he hurriedly looked into the distance.

Several dead assassins killed several people in a row, formed a small circle in the field, retreated to the emperor's side, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, the queen mother has misled the country, and we beg my monarch to govern in person." ”

At this time, something like an opera happened.

The hundred officials were suddenly quiet, and only the emperor drove straight and shouted in a crisp voice: "Who are you waiting for?" Why in the name of righteousness, why fall into unfilial piety?! Seeing that the emperor was not afraid at all, everyone showed great calmness, and they were immediately amazed that the sixteen-year-old emperor had such wisdom and courage.

Many of the courtiers surrounding the Queen Mother unconsciously rushed over from the opposite side to protect the emperor. The emperor's carriage paused slightly, and the outer guards rushed to the front, all shouting, "Your Majesty!" In an instant, the carriage was speeding left and right, and everyone changed their mouths and shouted: "Shoot!" "Shoot!" Some of the military ministers were unarmed, and they also hurried up with the generals behind the emperor, and their legs were like wheels.

The emperor was extremely brave, and shot with his bow galloping, hitting three assassins in a row.

The crowd was excited, and they raised their arms and shouted "Long live". Liu Qi was very weird. He didn't know when the king's archery skills became so powerful, seeing that the emperor's chariot and horse were close to the enemy, he pushed down the emperor, and when he saw that the horse couldn't stop, he turned around and carried the emperor, and fled after taking the road. The carriage ran over the remnants, and countless guards swarmed and chopped the enemy into pulp.

※※※

Liu Qi returned home and told his mother what happened today.

Feng Yue was also listening.

After he heard Liu Qi say it, especially when Liu Qi said that the little eunuch comforted the emperor not to panic, the emperor was full of might, and smelled a smell of conspiracy, for fear that when he investigated this matter, he would repeatedly ask about what happened at that time, and asked about this section, so he said: "Liu Qi, don't go to the palace tomorrow, you are an insignificant person, if you are sick, take a leave to see, and get out of touch with what happened next." ”

Liu Qi understood it, but said dissatisfiedly: "I'm healthy." ”

"If you don't go, you can't go!" Hua Liushuang was furious, "You dare to try?!" ”

"The assassins have been ambushed, forget it if you don't go."

Liu Qi saw that his mother was really angry, so he had to agree, and as he was talking, Li Duocai came back, and after seeing Hua Liushuang, he gave Liu Qi a look.

After Liu Qi went out, he waited outside.

After a while, Li Duocai came out, almost sweating, and said: "A few strongmen from Huo County came to the city to look for you, and the shopkeeper Wan didn't know their identities, so he left them and found someone to drink with them." Who knew that after a while, the city would be banned. I'm afraid something will happen, so I'll come back and tell you about it. ”

Li Duocai hesitated: "In my opinion, it's better to hand them over to the yamen!" ”

Liu Qi didn't know how the imperial court was going to search for them, but it was definitely not to search for their thieves, and said angrily: "They are looking for me, but they want me to sell them to the government?!" You can figure it out. I'm going to see them. ”

Li Duocai persuaded hard and said, "Young master, you have thought about it." They are dressed in white cloth, although they can imagine it without saying it, but they are fighting with others and suffering losses, and they are here to invite people?! ”

"Someone to help?!" Liu Qi asked in surprise.

"Can't be wrong!" Li Duocai said, "We all said that you went to another place. You go to see them now, what do they think?! ”

"Then I'm back in the morning." Liu Qi said.

Li Duocai couldn't persuade him, so he had to take Liu Qi to the shop and drive the idle away. There were three people, one was a child of three or four years old, one was a simple young man, and the other was a big man.

They all had white cloths and sad expressions, and they were all very moved when they heard that Liu Qi came back to see them.

The older man hurriedly asked the child to kneel down for Liu Qi.

The honest young man jumped to the middle of the courtyard, punched all the way in place, and shouted in his chest: "Grandpa Yue is on top, Earth Tiger Tianzhang!" ”

Liu Qizheng almost thought he was crazy, but he stepped forward after beating his chest, holding his hands, and kneeling on one knee.

At this time, another big man also ran over and punched, shouting: "Benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, please crow master!" Then, when he also came up to the front and back, the two kowtowed side by side and said, "The scoop was killed because he did not want to rebel against others." When he was dying, he asked us to come to the master, not to seek revenge, but to help him take care of his son and let him grow into a good man. We also thought that if we could avenge this revenge, we would repay it, but we couldn't repay it. ”

"Uncle." The child also hurriedly kowtowed and held half a green tile.

Zhu Wenyu and Li Duocai both blamed Liu Qi for being troublesome, looked at each other a few times, looked at him, and watched how he spoke. Liu Qi was still a little dazed, and unconsciously remembered the appearance of the simple man Xu Shanhu carrying a big knife, but he didn't expect that the other party would not see him much and entrust his son to himself.

He didn't know what the rules were, but he was moved, remembering that he was humble to others, but they were real, and he felt guilty, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry." I must avenge Brother Xu! ”

After speaking, he asked Zhu Wenyu, who knew the rules of the rivers and lakes: "You know a lot about this, what do you say you should do?" ”

Zhu Wenyu was helpless, took the tile in the child's hand, and said: "He will be your righteous son in the future, help people up, and kowtow to the sky." After speaking, he handed over the tile in the child's hand to others, and also ran to the yard, replacing Liu Qi to mess up his fists, and shouted: "Benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, the eldest brother is above." ”

Liu Qi hurriedly went up, knelt in the courtyard and kowtowed, and said something about opening his eyes and bless him to avenge his eldest brother, and then got up and asked.

After inquiry, I learned that a few days ago, many strongmen worshiped the mountain and invited Xu Shanhu to take refuge in a thief named Liu Wujian, but Xu Shanhu refused, saying that he would not be able to survive if he pulled the pole, but if he rebelled, he would be disloyal and could not afford to bear the crime.

A strong man was speechless at the time, and soon after, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart and killed the drunk Xu Shanhu family.

Liu Qi saw that the two simple men were so simple that they squatted to the door frame to talk to themselves, and saw that the tiger child was wearing open pants and wearing adult clothes and sitting on the ground looking at him, and suddenly wanted to shed tears. He always thought that the people who put the land were simple, and the people on the grassland were simple, but he didn't expect that there were such people in Jingkang. From Huo County to here, two or three hundred miles away, the two honest men in front of them didn't know how to disperse, and they took a child with them, hungry, risking the danger of catching Ding, and stupidly trying to complete the entrustment of the scoop. Looking at their honest mud bumps, Liu Qi couldn't imagine what such a person would do in the peaceful years. He couldn't help himself, and said one after another: "I will definitely avenge Brother Xu." (To be continued.) )
