Chapter 375: Sudden Change in the Early Morning
On the fifth watch of the next day, it was still dark outside the house, Li Yanqing got up and put on his shoes to freshen up, ready to go out for a run, he stopped running every morning after entering the barracks, and started a normal life, however, occasionally he would get up early and breathe the fresh air in the early morning.
"Uncle Zhong, I'm running!"
"With a dagger, it's not safe on the road right now." Uncle Zhong chased him to the gate and told him again.
"I brought it!"
Li Yanqing's voice came from afar, he had disappeared into the darkness, Uncle Zhong shook his head, closed the door and went back to the house.
The winter morning was extremely cold, but the air was also exceptionally fresh, and taking a breath seemed to penetrate his lungs, Li Yanqing ran to Yang Village, twenty miles to the north, and then turned around and ran back.
He walked through Lushan Town, at this time, there were already shops open in Lushan Town, and they began to prepare for a new day's business, Lushan Academy was still dark, and the young students were still asleep, and no one had gotten up yet.
Li Yanqing remembered that Yao Wannian planned to invite himself to give a lesson to the students, and he couldn't think of what to talk about for a while, but now he thought about the problem of getting up in the morning, so that he couldn't get too much in bed, and he couldn't pass the solution test, and if he didn't have perseverance and perseverance, how could he get ahead.
Running past the Lushan Academy, the shops on both sides disappeared, and gradually turned into a snow-covered field, and the surroundings became desolate again, although the sky was still full of stars overhead, but the sky had faintly appeared a trace of greenness, and the morning light began to penetrate into the thick night little by little.
After a short time, Li Yanqing returned to the entrance of the village, although he had already run forty miles, Li Yanqing did not feel tired at all, he decided to continue to run forward for another ten miles, but he only ran less than one mile, and suddenly stopped.
He noticed that a fire dragon had appeared in front of him, up and down, flying towards this direction along the official road, of course there would be no fire dragon, this was an army running with torches.
Li Yanqing's mind suddenly 'buzzed! As soon as he heard that, he immediately reacted, this was very likely to be Liangshan's army, and they actually killed Xiangzhou.
Li Yanqing immediately rushed into the snow on the side of the road and ran directly to the village......
Seeing that the army with torches was getting closer and closer, Li Yanqing stood on the village road a hundred steps away, watching the army running past in front of him, the army was about 7,000 people, the front 5,000 people were regular infantry wearing forbidden army armor and carrying spears, while the back 2,000 people were young and strong peasants wearing cloth clothes and carrying wooden sticks and hoes.
From this point, Li Yanqing was already sure that this army was not a box army, nor a township army, but the Liangshan army that attacked Liyangcang.
It's just that the Yangsan army came to Xiangju for what? Although Xiangzhou is an important grain-producing area, the amount of grain stored by the government is far less than that of Liyangcang, let alone a wealth concentration area, and the wealth of the Daimyo Mansion is about the same
Thinking of the Daimyo's Mansion, Li Yanqing's mind was like a lightning flash, and he suddenly figured it out, the destination of this army should be the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhou Chun said to himself, Liang Zhongshu led an army of 30,000 to confront the main force of the Liangshan Army in the Bozhou area, then at this time, the Daimyo's Mansion was empty, and the Liangshan Army bypassed Xiangzhou and entered the Daimyo's Mansion, which was to raid Liang Zhongshu's rear from behind.
Their attack on Liyangcang was just a pretense to confuse the government, and with a false shot in Liyangcang, they went directly north to Xiangzhou, and through Tangyin County, they could directly enter the Daimyo's Mansion along the official road in the northeast.
Li Yanqing immediately decided, he had to inform the official mansion of the Daimyo Mansion immediately of this news, and he could send the pigeon letter to the Tang Family Inn in the Daimyo Mansion through the pigeon letter of the Tang family.
Li Yanqing quickly rushed back to his home, and Uncle Zhong greeted him, "Is there anything important about the little official?" ”
"Help me get the horse out, I'm in a hurry!"
Li Yanqing said as he ran out of his room, took the stone chess piece cloth bag, short sword and bow and arrow and returned to the courtyard, at this time Uncle Zhong had already led the horse out, Li Yanqing turned over on the horse, held the reins and said to Uncle Zhong: "There are a lot of bandits in Liangshan outside, please Uncle Zhong go and tell the patriarch, everyone must not go out." ”
Uncle Zhong was taken aback, "I'll go right away!" ”
He stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, Li Yanqing urged the horse to run out, but immediately restrained the war horse, and two horsemen rode more than a dozen steps away from him, one tall and one short, one of them pointed to his house and said, "Daddy, this is it!" ”
It was a girl's voice, Li Yanqing was shocked, this voice
The two on the opposite side approached, and sure enough, it was Hu Cheng and his daughter Hu Qing'er, who had not seen each other for many years, three pairs of eyes looked at each other, Hu Cheng was full of surprise, "Brother Qing'er, why are you here?" ”
Li Yanqing restrained the nervousness in his heart and smiled faintly, "Uncle Hu, Qing'er, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, Hu Qinger and when they broke up in Suzhou, Li Yanqing is vague whether she is fourteen or fifteen years old this year, but she has become a big girl, with a beautiful goose egg face, thin long eyebrows, a pair of moving apricot eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very pretty face, but her eyes are very sharp, wearing soft armor and waist, feet wearing long riding boots, and an eagle helmet, which makes her even more heroic.
Hu Cheng patted his forehead and smiled apologetically: "I'm confused, this is your home, of course you should be here!" ”
"That's not right!"
A look of surprise flashed in Hu Qing'er's eyes, and she asked suspiciously: "Brother Li should be fighting in Western Xia, why did he return to his hometown?" ”
Li Yanqing said with a smile: "It turns out that Qing'er also knows that the Great Song Dynasty is using troops against the Western Xia, the war in the Western Xia has ended, and the two sides have negotiated peace, I specially came back to worship my mother, but why did the uncle and Qing'er come to Tangyin?" ”
Hu Cheng was a little embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled: "We passed by Tangyin County, and by the way, we went back to our hometown to have a look, after all, I have lived here for five years, and Qing'er was also born here." ”
"I'm sorry, but the old house is gone."
"It's okay! The village is still there, and so is the old locust tree I planted. ”
Hu Cheng pointed to the open space next to him and smiled: "This should be the original gate, you see, the bluestone threshold is still there!" ”
"Uncle, come in and sit down!"
Hu Cheng hesitated, and at this time, a soldier rushed over and whispered to Hu Cheng: "Lu Shuai has something urgent to discuss with the general!" ”
Hu Cheng nodded, "I'll go right away!" ”
Hu Cheng smiled at Li Yanqing and said, "I have something urgent to go back, next time!" Brother Qing'er, take care, we'll see you again when we have a chance. ”
Li Yanqing just said a few kind words, where did he want their father and daughter to enter the house, he was so anxious that they could leave immediately.
Li Yanqing hurriedly clenched his fists, "Uncle Hu take care, Qing'er take care!" ”
"Qing'er, let's go!"
Hu Cheng turned the horse's head and walked towards the entrance of the village, Hu Qing'er glanced at Li Yanqing meaningfully, and also turned the horse's head and followed his father.
Li Yanqing couldn't hurry up, at least when their father and daughter left the village, Li Yanqing urged the horse to follow far behind, at this time, he saw Hu Cheng's father and daughter leave the village, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards another path in the east of the village.
The path leads directly to the Yongji Canal three miles away, and he can also reach Tangwang Village by going north along the Yongji Canal, but he has just run dozens of steps, and suddenly a coquettish voice comes from behind him, "You stop!" ”
Li Yanqing stopped the war horse, with a wry smile on his face, this little lady is too fine, he still can't hide it from her, he slowly turned the horse's head, and smiled at Hu Qing'er who rushed forward: "Is there anything else Qing'er has to do?" ”
"Brother Li hurriedly rode out on horseback, did he want to ventilate and report the news?" Hu Qing'er looked at him with a smile.
Li Yanqing sighed, "I just want to go to Tangwang Village to inform a few good friends to run for their lives!" ”
"If that's the case, then it's completely unnecessary, our Liangshan Army does the right thing for the sky, only kills the dog officials who are corrupt and perverts the law, and does not commit any crimes against ordinary people!"
Li Yanqing sneered, "That's a good thing, Tao Jun and Jia Jin from Fushan are also your people!" **Burning, robbing people's property, and mutilating the people, this is also called doing the right thing for heaven? ”
Hu Qing'er raised her eyebrows, "And this kind of thing?" Please rest assured, Brother Li, I will definitely show the Song Zhai master and find out the truth, if they really kill the people, we will definitely punish them severely! ”
Li Yanqing just tested Hu Qing'er, but he didn't expect her to really admit that Tao Jun and Jia Jin were their people, so he smiled and said: "I don't know what you are doing in Tangyin County, of course you won't go to report the news, I'm just going to see my friends, don't think nonsense!" ”
Hu Qing'er sighed slightly, "Brother Li, I'm for your good, if the second village master knows that you have ruined his big deal, he will never let you go, you better go back!" Don't wade into this troubled water. ”
Li Yanqing snorted, "The second village master you are talking about is Lu Junyi!" Don't use him to press me, I don't want to mind your affairs, but you don't care what I do, there will be a period later! ”
Li Yanqing turned the horse's head and left, just took two steps, only to feel a cold neck, a soft whip like a snake silently wrapped around his neck, he was just about to break free with all his strength, Hu Qing'er shouted urgently: "You must not move, your throat will be broken as soon as you move." ”
Li Yanqing touched the soft whip with his hand, only to find that there was a sharp blade hidden in the soft whip, and it was really a powerful weapon, Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Is this a zhangqing?" ”
"I just ask if you want to go back?"
Li Yanqing was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "If I guessed correctly, you are going to attack the Daimyo's Mansion!" ”
Hu Qing'er trembled, and secretly gritted her teeth, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" ”
"Of course you can't hide this little trick from me, but you wrapped a whip around my neck to cut my throat, and this is your reward for me?"
Hu Qing'er bit her lip and said, "I'...... I'm just doing it for your own good, and I'm never going to hurt you. ”
"That's right!"
Li Yanqing stretched out his hand and slowly untied the whip blade on his neck, Hu Qing'er was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know what to do.
Just when she was distracted, Li Yanqing suddenly pulled his arms hard, pulled it violently, snatched the whip blade at once, and threw it into the distance casually, and then clamped the war horse between his legs, and the war horse galloped away.
"I'm leaving, Qing'er, we'll meet later!"
Hu Qing'er was suddenly angry and anxious, ran to pick up the whip blade, and then looked up, Li Yanqing had already disappeared, so angry that she whipped a big tree next to her.
"If you're good or not, whatever you want!"
She also turned her horse's head and ran towards Lushan Town......
