When Li Yuanqing received the news of the sinking of Xu Xianxian's party's ship, it was almost noon, and at this time, he and Wei Liang were in the official hall, drinking tea with Chen Zhong and Zhang Qiliang, who had just rushed over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chen Zhong got the news of Li Yuanqing's return to Changsheng Island a few days ago, he was going to come over as soon as possible and get drunk with Li Yuanqing a few times, but a concubine that Li Yuanqing gave him before happened to add a baby daughter to him, so it was delayed until now.
"General, the ship sank, and the seven people of Jinyiwei, including Xu Baihu, Ma Zongqi, and Liu Xiaoqi, were all swallowed by the sea, just in time for the storm, and there was no way for the brothers to save each other! I beg the general to punish him! ā
Several sailors and general flags knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be furious: "What are you all doing to eat?" Can't do anything like this? Come on, drag me down! Heavy responsibility 100 military sticks! ā
"Yes!"
In a few moments, more than a dozen wolf-like soldiers rushed in and were about to take the kneeling sailors away.
Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, why are you doing this? There is a storm at sea, which no one can predict. Aren't we immortals? These sons and daughters can come back alive, it's already God's blessing. ā
Zhang Qiliang also hurriedly said: "General Li, this is just an accident, right?" Why do you need to be so angry with your children? ā
Wei Liang's heart was overjoyed, but he kept a bitter face on his face and said: "General Li, Xu Baihu and a few of them, really, really...... Hey, it's all God's will! Don't be harsh on these boys. The miscellaneous family will make everything clear to the imperial court as soon as possible. ā
Zhang Qiliang hurriedly said: "General Li, the miscellaneous family will also second." ā
Li Yuanqing said coldly: "If you make a mistake, you make a mistake!" How can you just run away? Come on, drag a few of them down, and take 30 military sticks seriously. ā
Several sailors hurriedly kowtowed desperately, "General Xie for his reward!" ā
was soon dragged down by the pro-soldiers.
Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "General Chen, Gonggong Zhang, you see, your good mood has been ruined by these ignorant people." The banquet is ready, shall we go to the banquet first? ā
Although Chen Zhong and Zhang Qiliang don't understand the cats, how could they not give Li Yuanqing's face? Busy smiling and following Li Yuanqing to the banquet.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
A perfect feast.
It's just that with Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang here, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can't let go, basically just taste and deal with the scene, and in the evening, it's time for the brothers to have a drink.
Ordered the soldiers to send Chen Zhong and Zhang Qiliang to the guest room in the front yard to rest, and Li Yuanqing sent Wei Liang to the door of the official hall with a smile.
Wei Liang was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly whispered: "General Li, have you ever been sharp with your hands and feet?" ā
Li Yuanqing smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, don't worry." They all had their throats cut and had already been fed to the sharks. ā
Wei Liang relieved his mind at this time, and said happily: "General Li, the miscellaneous family will come over again tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of retribution." ā
"Father-in-law walks slowly."
Watching Wei Liang leave, Li Yuanqing smiled slightly, strode back to the official hall and sat down.
After a while, Niu Gensheng walked in quickly and whispered a few words to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing nodded lightly, "Let these sons go to Fuzhou first to avoid the limelight and recuperate!" ā
"Yes!"
Niu Gensheng left, Li Yuanqing picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The sailors who started this time were all veterans who followed Li Yuanqing when he was in Sanchahe, and their hands and feet were clean and neat, even if they were Daluo immortals, it would be difficult to find out the horses' feet.
It's just a pity that a clipper from Juehua Island was wasted.
When it comes to Li Yuanqing's status today, I don't know how many people want to pick Li Yuanqing's feet.
But Li Yuanqing did not rely on the shadow of his ancestors to get to where he is today, the reason why he can get to this day is completely because he stepped on the bones of countless tartars.
Since Xu Xianfeng and these people want to seek death, how can Li Yuanqing not fulfill him?
By this time, Li Yuanqing was no longer alone, there were nearly 40,000 soldiers and civilians on Changsheng Island, more than 20,000 on Guanglu Island, and 30,000 on Guanglu Island, plus Fuzhou and Jinzhou, which had long been closely linked to Li Yuanqing's interests and were inseparable.
No matter who wants to stand in the way, Li Yuanqing will definitely not hesitate to completely eliminate it physically!
At this time, Shang Lao Liu walked in quickly and reported to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Yuanqing, the war horse over there in Liaoxi has already boarded the ship, and it is estimated that it will arrive smoothly in three or five days." ā
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Brother Shang, you should keep an eye on this matter." There must be no surprises. ā
Shang Lao Liu nodded vigorously, "Yuanqing, don't worry." I've sent someone to keep an eye on it. By the way, when are you going to go to Liaoxi to meet Ge Lao? ā
Li Yuanqing thought for a while, "Let's wait for the gift to arrive first." Let's finish the merit reporting here first. ā
"Hmm." Shang Lao Liu nodded and turned to leave.
Looking at Shang Lao Liu's back, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
At the beginning, Li Yuanqing's guarantee to Sun Chengzong was 3,000 war horses, but the trip to the north did not fully meet expectations, Li Yuanqing did not go deep into the hinterland of Mongolia, so naturally he could not take out so many war horses, so he gave Sun Chengzong 1,000 horses first, and then attached 10,000 taels of silver by the way.
This time, Li Yuanqing's sincerity is definitely enough.
With Sun Chengzong's temperament, he must also be able to tolerate Li Yuanqing's hardships.
However, in terms of the court's meritorious service, there are still some details that need to be refined.
The main reason is that Li Yuanqing did not achieve the expected goal, although he cut off some Tartar heads, but he also injured the previous Ming ally Ye Hebu, and the details in this regard must be handled properly.
Otherwise, although this will not have much impact on Li Yuanqing, it is not a good thing to be targeted by the 'Mad Dog Gang' of the imperial history.
In addition, on Mao Wenlong's side of Dongjiang, there is no accurate news of the war now, and Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry at this time.
As the saying goes, 'The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'.
The scale of food and salary in southern Liaoning is already quite large at this time, and Li Yuanqing naturally has no need to be in the limelight.
Li Yuanqing chose to simplify the treatment of the Northland trip's meritorious service this time.
On the side of the little emperor of the apocalypse and Gonggong Wei, Li Yuanqing must also think of a good way to deal with it.
After resting for a while in the official hall, Li Yuanqing came to Wan'er's courtyard.
Among Li Yuanqing's wives and concubines, in terms of appearance and temperament, no one can compare with Wan'er.
Coupled with Wan'er's delicate and lovely, she understands people's minds, she is also Li Yuanqing's favorite woman.
It's a pity that Wan'er has just given birth for two months and has not fully recovered, and Li Yuanqing doesn't dare to let her go completely. 8
When they came to Wan'er's small courtyard, the maids saluted one after another.
According to the scale of Li Yuanqing's back house, his wife Zhang Yunniang has twelve maids, mothers-in-law, nurses, and cooks.
Qu Minqiu is a flat wife, she has ten girls, and her mother-in-law, nurse, and cook are also the same as Zhang Yunniang.
As for the concubines such as Caizi, Wan'er, and Lotus Root, the treatment is a little worse.
They only have four personal girls, two mothers-in-law, and no cooks.
But Wan'er gave birth to her eldest daughter Ruyi for Li Yuanqing, and her treatment rose in a straight line, with eight girls, three mothers-in-law, one nurse, one cook, plus her own four personal girls, which are already on par with Zhang Yunniang.
However, most of these girls were trained by Yang Jiao~Niang's Fog and Rain Pavilion, and they were also closer to Wan'er.
Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu knew that Li Yuanqing felt the most distressed about Wan'er, and they would not care too much about this aspect.
At this time, Wan'er and Ruyi were taking a nap, except for the three maids on duty at the door, the others also went to rest and take a nap.
Li Yuanqing didn't let them alarm Wan'er's mother and son, quietly came to Wan'er's bedside, took off his clothes, and went directly into Wan'er's warm and fragrant quilt.
Although Ruyi slept soundly, Wan'er quickly felt Li Yuanqing's arrival, ashamed and happy, and said in a low voice: "Master, why did you come here at this time?" ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, took Wan'er in his arms, let her pill his arm, and laughed softly: "I miss you two." Don't move, I'll see Ruyi. ā
"Hmm."
Wan'er's pretty face was full of joy, and she gently moved her delicate body, so that Li Yuanqing could see Ruyi who was sleeping in it.
It was the height of summer, Ruyi only wore a small cloth coat, covered with a soft little quilt on her stomach, pouted her small mouth, and slept sweetly.
Li Yuanqing's heart was also melted in an instant.
This is his daughter and his eldest daughter.
To a certain extent, Li Yuanqing's love for his eldest daughter even exceeds that of Li Dingbei and Erlang.
Feeling the mother and daughter beside him, Li Yuanqing also completely relaxed.
Who would have thought that the once high-flying Wan'er girl has now become his Li Yuanqing's confiner, and has given birth to such a beautiful daughter?
Holding Wan'er's weak and boneless little hand, Li Yuanqing kissed her pretty face, "Wan'er, thank you for your hard work." ā
Wan'er smiled and gently leaned on Li Yuanqing's shoulder, "Master, Wan'er never dreamed of having the current day." Thank you. Thank you for giving Wan'er a new lease of life. ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's my blessing to have a fairy daughter like you." ā
At this time, Wan'er felt the changes in Li Yuanqing's body, her pretty face was flushed, and she said in a low voice: "Master, if you like it, Bi'er and Si'er can serve you." ā
The four daughters of Bi'er and Si'er are all Wan'er's personal girls in the Fog and Rain Pavilion, and they can be regarded as girls in the room.
In this regard, Wan'er, who was born in the Fog and Rain Pavilion, has a higher specification than Qu Minqiu.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Where did you get so many ghost ideas in your little head?" I want to sleep with you two now. ā
"Hmm." Wan'er was even more happy, and the little bird leaned on Li Yuanqing's arms.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Coming out of Wan'er, it was already dark, Li Yuanqing came directly to the official hall, Chen Zhong had been waiting here for a long time, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, Beidi has been tired these days, right?" ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay." ā
As he spoke, he waved his hand at Niu Gensheng, "Let them serve the food." ā
"Yes!"
The banquet had already been prepared, and soon, under the leadership of Nian'er, several slender girls began to serve the food.
After drinking a few glasses of wine with Chen Zhong and warming up the scene, Li Yuanqing directly threw out the topic and recounted the requirements of the generals of the Dongjiang Department to Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and after a while, he said, "Yuanqing, we are all from the headquarters." Brothers in the main department, it's not easy! If we can help with this, let's help. ā
Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, "Big brother, I understand!" Being a man, the most important thing, can't forget your roots! Unfortunately, the Dongjiang headquarters lacks resources, and we have to think of a different way. ā
