Li Hong lightly punched Wen Chou and said to them: "Let's all go into the big tent, Zilong has prepared dinner." ”

Wen Chou shouted: "Forget it, that's also called dinner?" A flatbread with a bowl of rice soup is also called dinner. When I was in Xiangguo City, there were six or seven side dishes every night, and the craftsmanship of the little lady with the tiger head ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Hong kicked over, "Your mouth is oily." Tiger head owes you a debt to pay back? ”

Wen Chou dodged with a hippie smile, and shook his hand again and again: "Don't move your feet, don't move your feet, your feet are too powerful." Hey, my lord, how do you know that Tiger Head hasn't paid back? ”

"He eats so luxuriously at night, but if he thinks about the other two meals, his little money is definitely not enough." Li Hong smiled, "Don't expect the tiger head to pay it back, just eat it." ”

Wen Chou suddenly said angrily: "That's my money for a few months, and if he doesn't pay me back, I will lose a lot." ”

The crowd laughed wildly.

"Is the old kidnapping coming?" Li Hong asked Gao Randao.

"Here, he went to find Uncle Tian." Gao Lan replied.

"You guys come in, I'll go talk to an old friend about something." Li Hongfei jumped onto Zhang He's war horse and ran towards Tian Chong's tent.

When Li Hong saw Lao Gui, he was so happy that he held Lao Gui's hand tightly and said, "Did the old man tell you?" ”

Lao Guan nodded and said very gratefully, "Thank you for your concern." But my brothers must have the same thoughts as I do, no one wants to leave the Iron Rider, and no one wants to leave the adults. ”

Li Hong said slowly: "Old Kui, don't be rash. You have to think about it, walking thousands of miles to Xiliang, the hard work can be imagined. When we arrived in Xiliang, the battle must have been fierce, and with the bravery of Qianghu and Xiliang people, it was difficult for us to take advantage of anything. Is it necessary for you to suffer like this with us? You take the money, go back to Lulongsai or Xu Wushan, cultivate and feed yourself, barely survive, and you can still live. ”

The old crutch was silent.

"We are all brothers in life and death, and I won't hide some things from you. We have won many battles, and our edge is too exposed, and we have become a thorn in the side of some powerful people in Kyoto, and we will want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Even if we arrive in Xiliang, I can't predict what kind of encounter will be. Once we have an accident in Xiliang, defeat or being framed by the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China will be a catastrophe. Li Hong persuaded bitterly.

Lao Gui's eyes were a little moist and he didn't make a sound.

"How many veterans are there in Luronse now?" Li Hong asked.

"After the Great War, there are only more than 70 people left." Lao Guan said.

Li Hong let go of Lao Liu's hands and sat next to him, silent for a while.

"Go back, and leave a few people for Lord Tian to show the grave of Lu Longsai's brother and sweep the grave. The tombs of Lord Zhao Wen and Zhao are in Changqing Lake in Yuyang County, and the tombs of Lord Li Songli and Lord Wu Zhaowu are in Hengling in Shanggu County, remember to have time to move them back. Go back, I don't have the power to protect you. Li Hongchang let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "When I came back from Xianbei Country, I just wanted to find my family and find my parents, and I didn't expect that it would lead you to endless killings. The brothers died too much, too much......"

"My lord......" Lao Guan wiped the tears from his eyes and said loudly, "You promised us that you would depend on us for life and death." We don't have a home, we don't have relatives, we only have the Wind and Cloud Iron Rider, the Wind and Cloud Iron Rider is our home, our relatives, but you want to drive us away now, why? Why don't you keep your word? ”

Li Hong couldn't hold back any longer, and tears rolled down.

"We are in Lulongsai, in Yuyang, in Shanggu, in Zhuojun, the conditions are so difficult and treacherous, don't you all persevere? Why can't we go to Xiliang? Why? "What are we doing back to Luronse with a lame arm?" If he lives pitifully, it is better to die in battle with the adults. ”

Lao Guan stood up violently and shouted at Li Hong: "We will never leave, and we will die with you." After saying that, he turned around and rushed out of the big tent, got on his horse and left.

Li Hong held his head and sat on the ground stupidly.

"Zimin ......," Tian Zhong shouted softly.

Li Hong slowly raised his head and looked at him.

"When you were armed with a war knife and killed all the way back from Xianbei, you were invincible and arrogant, and everyone thought you were a man who stood up to the sky, so everyone trusted you, was willing to follow you to fight the world, and was willing to give your life to you. Where is your arrogance now? Why did you go back on your promise to Lao Gui in the first place? What exactly are you worried about? Tian Zhong asked puzzled.

"When all your brothers have given their lives to you, you won't talk like that." Li Hong said sadly, "I'm too tired, you know? I'm so tired. I often can't control my emotions now, my temper is getting bigger and bigger, and I feel like I can't hold it anymore. ”

Tian Zhong's eyes widened and he looked at him in surprise.

"You have to be responsible for the lives of your brothers, for their present and future, for their lives, for your country, for the poor people, for the situation in the world, for the enemies in front of you, for the ongoing battles, for the salaries that will soon be paid to the soldiers, and for who will harm us. Will you be able to hold on? ”

Tian Zhong shook his head.

"When I came back to Luronse the previous autumn, it was nothing. What now? Now I'm a general. In just over a year, so many changes have taken place, it's like a dream. Many things that I didn't even think about came one after another, and I was overwhelmed by them. Do I have that much to do? Li Hong smiled bitterly, "Just like this time Zuo Feng came to Handan, Zuo Feng said it well, how did I know that officialdom is so insidious, black can be said to be white, and dead can also be said to be alive." ”

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and both felt that they were not the material for this set at all. If you don't have this ability, you will be played to death by others sooner or later.

"You're going to hold on, or what are we going to do?" Tian Zhong patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Take your time and survive this for a while, maybe it's fine." ”

Then he remembered something, and his face changed color and said: "Zimin, you let Yu Xing enter Beijing empty-handed, isn't it ......?"

"Afraid of what?" Li Hong said indifferently: "Anyway, they are going to trap me to death, so they don't send a single child, who is afraid of whom?" ”

"Then what did you let Yu Xing do in Beijing?" Tian Zhong asked strangely, "If you don't bribe the magnates in the capital, who will help you intercede with the emperor?" ”

"Of course not." Li Hong said, "If you want to do this, just bribe Zuo Feng." ”

"He's already killed you." Tian Zhong glared at him fiercely and said, "I have lived for more than sixty years, and I have never seen you so bold as to dare to kill the ministers of the imperial court, the imperial envoy of the Son of Heaven." You're still worried that people will kill you, I think it's true that people have to worry about being hacked to death by you. ”

Li Hong smiled. This smile suddenly diluted a lot of sadness in his heart.

"Yan Wuxing, a horse thief, just can't change his nature. As soon as I heard that I was going to kill someone, my eyes were about to pop out. Tian Zhong smiled, "There won't be any flaws, right?" ”

"No, it won't. I told him to do it in Wei County, and not a single one was left. Zuo Feng's head was brought back to feed the dogs. Actually, it doesn't matter who kills them. Think about it, I'm a spy of the Xianbei people, do you still care if they say I killed Zuo Feng? ”

"That's different." Tian Zhong said: "We can't leave the handle. What the hell did you let Yuxing do in Beijing? Looking for Lord Liu? ”

"Yes, ask Lord Liu to help me hand me a fold." Li Hong said, "We arrived in Xiliang, and we don't know when we will be able to come back." When I was in the camp in Fanyang, I once promised Zhang Baiqi to take them to the border and Tuntian. Not anymore. After we leave, their situation will become more and more difficult, and if they are all killed or rebel again, it will be caused by my broken promise, I have deceived them, so I must find a way out for them. ”

"You're going to find a way for them?" Tian Zhong asked in surprise, "What can you do?" ”

"I suggest that the emperor grant amnesty to the world."

Li Hong said, "After the amnesty, they will be innocent, they will no longer stay in the prisoner camp and wait for their fate, and they will no longer be sent to the frontier to garrison the frontier tuntian, everyone can return to their hometown to cultivate the land, and at this time, the amnesty to the world is also a salvation and relief for the Yellow Turban soldiers who have come to the end of the road, everyone can drop their weapons without any worries, walk down the Taihang Mountain, and return to their hometown." This kind of thing that is beneficial to the Han State and harmless should be acceptable to the emperor. If there are more people farming, the states and counties will settle down, the country's taxes will increase, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans will lose the opportunity to recruit soldiers. This method is so good, will the emperor not agree? ”

"Zimin is a genius!" Tian Zhong praised: "I'm afraid your main purpose is still the 50,000 Yellow Turban captives in Youzhou, right?" ”

Li Hong smiled without saying a word, stood up and said, "I'm leaving, Jun Yi and Zhengqing are still waiting for me in the big tent?" ”

"Zimin ......" Tian Zhong wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Li Hong walked to the side of the tent curtain and saw that Tian Zhong hadn't said anything, so he stopped and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?" ”

"What about Xiaoyu?"

Li Hong's heart ached, and he immediately stayed there. What to do with light rain?
