When Cui Yunqing called Li Jing to leave, the sky was completely dark, and the streets were silent and dark.

When Lin Wei walked past Li Jing's side, he gently drank Li Jing's ankle with his boot, and the pain made Li Jing wake up from his contemplation. He looked up and found that his black horse had been led in front of him by the family of the Song Mansion. Cui Yunqing was bending over to get into the carriage, and he was just about to get on the horse, but he heard the teacher shouting in the carriage: "Ji Yu, you come and ride the carriage with me." Li Jing hesitated, and Cui Yunqing immediately raised her voice and said, "Come up quickly, I have something to discuss with me on the road." ”

"Yes." Li Jing replied, turned around and tied the horse rope to the back of the carriage, and jumped into the carriage himself. "What do you have to say?"

"It's nothing, it's just that just now in the Song Mansion, I saw that you wanted to talk and stopped, and you seemed to have something in your heart." The weather has entered the cold winter, and as soon as she came out of the warm Song Mansion, Cui Yunqing couldn't help but shiver. He put his hands around the big ermine fur and wrapped it around his neck. He saw Li Jing wearing iron armor and sitting upright on the side, and couldn't help but sigh and laugh softly: "I'm old, it's only early winter, and I can't withstand the cold at night." ”

"The teacher is in the prime of life!" Li Jing looked at the few strands of silver hair that appeared under Cui Yunqing's folded head, and said insincerely.

Cui Yunqing asked him to come up and talk, but he stopped talking. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, and Li Jing sat aside, so he had to be quiet. The carriage drove slowly through the quiet streets, and the sound of wheels and horses' hooves became more and more crisp.

Until Li Jing thought that Cui Yunqing had fallen asleep, Cui Yunqing suddenly closed her eyes and said, "Blind donkey". Li Jing was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard. In his impression, Cui Yunqing has always been a beautiful beard and full of elegance. I never thought that Cui Yunqing would scold such a blind donkey.

Seeing Li Jing looking at him with a surprised face, Cui Yunqing, who opened her eyes, scolded with a smile: "Straight lady thief, scolding without scruples, my heart is much happier." ”

Li Jing followed with a smile and said: "It turns out that the teacher will also scold people, is it because he wants to go to Qingzhou?" If the teacher doesn't want to, then don't go. Although Song Wei is a festival envoy, if the old man doesn't want to go, does he really dare to emphasize? ”

"Well said!" Cui Yunqing stretched out her hand and patted Li Jing's shoulder, "I really want to stay in Dengzhou, stay in this seaside fairyland and never leave." ”

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Li Jing said: "As long as the teacher is willing, no one can force you." ”

"Of course." Cui Yunqing said to Li Jing: "How about you say that the two of us just leave everything like this, and then ride two horses around the world?" Whether it is the grassland outside the east of Liaodong or the desert west of the Longyou River, wherever you go, you are everywhere. Singing long songs, free in the world! ”

"It's nice to be like this." Li Jing still didn't know that Cui Yunqing still had such a romantic side. "But Teacher, we are all alone. You have your children and my mother, wife and children. ”

"Why do you seem to be older than me? As soon as you open your mouth, you are so sensible, haven't you thought about free indulgence? Cui Yunqing shook her head, "Yes, you kid is always like this." Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to you at first glance and accepted you as a protégé. You haven't answered the question of being a teacher in the Song Mansion tonight, your real idea is that you don't want to go to Qingzhou, right? Can you tell the teacher why? Do you want to return to Wenden immediately, just because you are reluctant to give up your wife. Your wife and your childhood sweetheart, I heard you say it once, it seems that the surname is Wang, and you also have a concubine, who is from Bohai? ”

"Her name is Wan'er, and she is from Silla." Li Jing replied: "At the beginning, the whole family came to Shandong to escape the famine, but later her family couldn't support her, so they sent her to my house. ”

"Wan'er is a good name, I got it at your house later, right?" Cui Yunqing smiled, "The woman who can make you forget all the time seems to be a good person." You don't want to go to Qingzhou because you can't worry about your wife and concubine? I know you're a mediocre person, and you've been doing well. But if you really want to make a difference, you just want to go home and be a solidarity general, it won't be useful. If you go to Qingzhou with me, I will arrange you well, and within ten years, I can guarantee you a soldier's position. It is not the soldiers and horses of the United Army, but the soldiers and horses of the Pinglu officer Jian. ”

Li Jing is silent, ten years? Ten years later, what will Datang look like? At that time, it seemed that the rampant Huangchao was finally driven out of Guanzhong, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty finally recovered Chang'an. Huangchao retreated all the way to Chenzhou, besieged the city for half a year, opened a human flesh processing workshop, and grinded human flesh day and night. At that time, Zhu Wen and Li Keyong both became festival envoys, and they were heroes.

Ten years, can he wait that long?

The horse-drawn carriage drove into the night market, and the section of the street about a mile on South Gate Street was designated as a night market. The rest of the city has long since fallen silent, but the night market here is still on fire. Lanterns are raised, the lights are brilliant, like a city that never sleeps, and this bustling night market will not disperse until midnight. Li Jing couldn't help but sigh, maybe this is the most prosperous period he can see in this era. At present, there are already many displaced people in the vicinity of Dengzhou, and bandits are swarming. It won't be long before this prosperous Dengzhou city will not be spared. Since then, until the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, hundreds of years of troubled times, dynasty changes, warlords are fighting, displaced people are lost, the people are in dire straits, and the people in troubled times are like grass.

He can't wait, follow him to Qingzhou, maybe as Cui Yunqing said, he will definitely be promoted steadily. But this is still too slow, even if he becomes a tenth general, what if he becomes a soldier and a horse envoy, it is difficult for him to get ahead in an important town like Qingzhou. Troubled times are coming, and he has to start running his own territory.

"Teacher, students also know that if you follow your teacher, it will definitely be smooth sailing. But if this happens, the student will never experience the grind. Students want to stay in Dengzhou, not because they want to go home and miss that one-third of an acre. Students just want to make their way on their own. ”

Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing with some surprise, this protégé can always make accidents. He is very good and outstanding, but it always makes Cui Yunqing feel like he can't grasp it. Just like the last time he ambushed Feng Yanqing, what a lot of courage this is. And killing Feng Yanqing not only requires guts, but also great ability. Li Jing did it, which surprised him all the time. He can't see through this student, he can always have his own persistence and ideas.

Thinking of this, he sighed: "Although I don't understand all your thoughts, you have a good character. When I turn around, I will say hello to Song Wen, Longshan Battalion, Mudong Shouchuang, Dengzhou Zhizhou Bing, and Chishan Town, the main generals of these four military camps are all my people, which one you want to go to, choose yourself. You are now the head of the United Army, and if you transfer to other barracks, you can continue to lead all the men and horses for my sake. ”

These four armies are almost half of the men and horses in Dengzhou. Li Jing couldn't figure out which military camp to go to for a while, among them, there were 3,000 people in Chishan Town, and the other three were 1,000 people. Except for Chishan Town, the other three are all near Penglai, if you go to these military camps, I am afraid that it is not realistic to want to develop the momentum alone. As for the nearest Chishan Town, the surrounding area is relatively remote and is a good place for development. It's a pity that there are 3,000 people in Chishan Town, which is even more unreliable.

What Li Jing is looking forward to most is to have a chance to lead the army independently, even if it is to give him a remote place and a hundred people. It's just that he also knows that if he wants to have such an opportunity, it's a bit delusional. In addition to the above-mentioned guards, military towns, and state soldiers, the only ones that can have a separate territory are the towns and garrisons that belong to the border soldiers, as well as the beacon shops. The towns of this side of the army are different from Chishan Town, which is a county town, not belonging to the county, but directly belonging to the state, with at least more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. The border towns are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower, the upper town is only 500, the middle town is 300, and the less than 300 is called the lower town. There are fewer soldiers in the fort, only 50 in the upper garrison, 30 in the middle garrison, and less than 30 in the lower garrison. There are fewer people in Fengpu, more than six, and less than three. Moreover, the border towns, border guards, and beacon shops are all in the border areas. Dengzhou is actually a frontier, but because the border is all sea, there is a natural barrier. Although the imperial court also set up border towns, border guards, and beacon shops, most of them were on those islands on the seaway between Dengzhou Port and the Liaodong Peninsula.

However, these border towns and border guards do not belong to the jurisdiction of the state assassins, but directly belong to the Jiedu envoys.

"Why, you're planning to stay, but you haven't figured out which barracks you're going to? Or are you really planning to stay in the solidarity camp? He turned his head to look at Li Jingdao.

Li Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, Cui Yunqing sighed, closed his eyes again, this time, all the way back to the Thorn Mansion, Cui Yunqing did not open his eyes again. When he arrived at the house, Li Jing helped Cui Yunqing get out of the carriage, Cui Yunqing waved his hand, so that Li Jing couldn't help but send him into the house, and directly let Li Jing go back.
