Chapter 63 Running a Hundred Miles at Night to Chase the General (I)

The time moved to the early hours of the morning, Taisu County, Fan House.

It was early in the morning, and it was pitch black in a house not far from the camp, and there was still a faint light flickering in a room at the south end.

More than a dozen people arrived one after another, but what they saw was the eldest brother Fan Liuhai who had packed his bags.

Even the most honest person among them saw that Fan Liuhai's situation was extraordinary, with a dignified look on his face.

"Big brother, you called us over overnight, what happened? Why did you pack up your package, where are you going?"

"Now that the brothers have arrived, there is something I want to tell you about. Fan Liuhai said straight to the point, sat down on a chair, and glanced at the brothers.

"There are more than a dozen of our brothers, even if they are trying to get out, they all have some affection, I wanted to defect to the Ming Lord, and I will be crowned an official in the future, I don't want my eldest brother to have a bad eye, and he sees the wrong person. ”

"This Li family is a county order, and it is okay to rebel, but Zhida is talented, mean and unkind, and forced Mr. Zhou to death, I feel very uncomfortable, I plan to abandon the official and leave here, and I will leave in a while. ”

"Big brother, this Li family can't do it, we can take refuge in the Wang family, wasn't it very polite when the young marshal met you last time? One of them spoke.

"What you said is not wrong, but after all, the Li family and I are masters and servants, and at this juncture, it is enough to abandon the official and leave, and I really can't do this because I have turned against the water and joined the Wang family. ”

"There is no feast in the world, today is goodbye, I don't know when we can get together, I have saved some silver over the years, and I will give some to my brothers, if I can't mix here, I will go away with more entanglement. ”

"This Taisu County, I'm afraid it's not a good place, if you want to do things in a down-to-earth manner and seek a future, it is by no means a good destination. ”

As he spoke, he took the package from the table and pulled out some silver taels.

"Big brother, there are more than a dozen of us, we don't have any family, I've been with you for so long, where you go, we'll go, let's go together" A black-faced man suddenly said in the back.

This remark received a response: "Big brother, let's follow you"

Seeing that these dozen or so people were willing to abandon their jobs and follow him, Fan Liuhai sighed, but he was very satisfied in his heart, these dozen brothers were all warriors he found, and they were very good when organized.

If you defect to the new master, with this force, at least you are also the fire chief, if you meet someone who knows a little about the goods, it is the team, and you can naturally climb up slowly in the future.

Fan Liuhai laughed: "That's the case, as soon as the city gate opens at dawn, we will go out of the city." ”

"Yes, big brother" More than a dozen people did not hesitate, and they didn't even go back to the camp, so they lived in this house, calculating.

In a moment, the sky was bright, and more than a dozen people embraced Fan Liuhai, Fan Liuhai At this time, if he used his power, he could get more than a dozen horses, but he knew that horses were precious and he was unwilling to do this.

Therefore with only one horse of his own, and immediately with a package and silver tied to it, the group went straight to the city gate.

The gates were opened, and several guards were checking on the passers-by.

Seeing this group of people, Wu Chang hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Fan, are you going out of the city?"

"Yes, something's wrong. Fan Liuhai replied simply, and did not say a reason, the captain hurriedly got out of the way and let the group out, without the slightest suspicion.

The soldier on patrol was actually a soldier of the first guard, and naturally knew Fan Liuhai.

Out of the city, after walking two miles, there was a small forest, Fan Liuhai took a breath, looked at Taisu County from afar, and was full of emotion for a while.

After being stunned for a moment, he said, "Let's change our uniforms, let's change into ordinary clothes." ”

"Yes, big brother" and his party rudely took off the clothes of the original soldiers and even Wu Huochang, and changed into the clothes on the horses.

"The Li family will find out that I am not there at noon, and I can't take the avenue, so we will take the small road and leave the territory of Wenyang Mansion. Fan Liuhai looked left and right, and saw that the farmland was abandoned, the scorched forest was everywhere, and there was a desolate scene, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, a few months ago, Liuzhen attacked, and the matter of his own defense seemed to be still in front of him, but now he was leaving.

The next group of people moved along the path, but not long after they left the city, one of them poked his head out, but it was a spy planted by the Thirteenth Division, who didn't want to see the situation, and wrote down the path taken, he quickly turned around and reported to his boss.

At noon, more than a dozen riders galloped in Taisu County.

The streets are depressed, most of the shops are closed, and there are pedestrians rushing by, and the big battle a few months ago has dealt a fatal blow to Taisu County.

It's not about land, because now there are fewer people and more land, and land can be arranged, but it is difficult for people to get it.

As for the displaced people, once the two counties are unified, the displaced people will be resettled in each county, at least Jishui County is recruiting displaced people everywhere, and it is said that the household registration is now close to 3,000, which is almost a middle county.

As a result, there are only 1,500 households in Taisu County, and it is difficult to grow.

Li Chengye swept these and felt a sense of sadness and depression in his heart, but what made him secretly afraid the most was that Li Chengye received a report from his subordinates at noon, saying that Fan Yingzheng had disappeared all morning and had not presided over the daily military training, which made Li Chengye suddenly have a bad feeling in his heart.

"Could it be that Fan Liuhai has an accident?" At this time, galloping on the street, Li Chengye never thought that this man, who was loyal to him in his previous life and was also his team in this life, would choose to leave him, or rather, he had a faint premonition, but he didn't dare to think about it.

After a while, they arrived at the barracks, and rushed into the gate first, and the soldiers guarding the gate recognized the young master, and did not dare to stop them, so they let everyone drive straight in.

This cavalry galloped to a residence not far from the barracks, and then threw off the horse, and under the escort of his own soldiers, Li Chengye took his hand and seemed to step into the door leisurely.

was looking forward to it, but a generous man came out of it and saluted: "Chen Fan Liuhai greets the lord." ”

However, after entering, the spacious main hall was empty, and there was already a feeling that the room was empty.

"What's the matter, send someone to find it" Li Chengye sat down in front of a table and chair of the host and guest, and said commandingly, his face was a little pale uncontrollably.

Zhou Zhu's death hit him hard, not only breaking one of his arms, but also making him feel powerless and smell an ominous breath.

In his previous life, he ascended to the throne smoothly, and in this life, Li Chengye's status in the Li family is at most only the first heir of the ordinary line, nothing more.

Li Cunyi became more and more dissatisfied with Li Chengye, and he was afraid that even this inherited position would not be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Li Chengye's palms ached suddenly, and there were blood spots, dripping from the palms to the ground.

Thinking about it, a haze appeared in Li Chengye's eyes: "Fan Liuhai, don't let me down." ”

This residence was given by Li Chengye, because Fan Liuhai was in the camp and could not live without his own house, so Li Chengye gave a set of this house not far from the camp.

After sitting for a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, Li Chengye walked towards the inner house, and as soon as he got closer, he saw a letter lying alone on the desk.

At this time, there was already a strong sense of foreboding, Li Chengye hesitated for a moment, and then opened the letter, and after reading it carefully, there was a flame in his eyes, and his face was pale.

"Young master, I didn't look for Fan Yingzheng, and the dozen or so people from Fan Yingzheng were gone, I think maybe I drank too much last night and got drunk in the restaurant. ”

"A soldier told me just now that he saw this group of people last night, and they all went to drink. At this time, a team was entering the room from the outside and reported the information they had just learned to Li Chengye.

"No, they're gone. Li Chengye said lightly, this reaction didn't seem to be big, just the hand holding the letter, but suddenly five fingers clenched, crumpling the letter into a ball.

"Already gone?" Seeing Li Chengye walking past him with an expressionless face, the team suddenly smelled something dangerous and quickly closed his mouth.

Li Chengye, who had already stepped out of the room, didn't hear him talking to himself, and his heart was boiling at this time.

Walking outward, Li Chengye's heart was also dripping blood, and for the first time in his life, he had the urge to raise his head and shout to vent the pain accumulated in his heart.

Some time ago, everything was still in order, why did it take a sharp turn in just a few days?

Zhou Zhu died, committed suicide in front of him, his head was cut off, and he was used to show loyalty to others, and his father changed from the original generosity and amiability to a strange and cold.

At this time, Fan Liuhai chose to leave again, leaving only a letter.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Since when have you become so passive and powerless?

In the past, Li Chengye deeply understood that he was indeed different from ordinary people, and often did not need many actions and words, and naturally became the core of the crowd.

Even if you are a stranger, if you associate with yourself for a while, you will show admiring eyes.

Now, however, this is no longer the case.

The confusion that he had never felt before, at this moment, invaded Li Chengye's mind and made him shake.

But when he stepped out of the Fan house, the sun fell on his head, and this only trace of warmth made him wake up suddenly.

Li Chengye's slender fingers pressed his eyebrows and pinched them hard, this side felt that he was alive, as if he was a person in another world.

"Li Chengye, what are you afraid of? Are you going to give up the hegemony you have set up since childhood just because of a few small setbacks? It's just that one staff member has died and one battalion has left, that's all, and if they are not there, will there be no one to drive me? After all, this world will become the world of my Li family...... No, it's my Li Chengye's world. ”

Thinking of this, Li Chengye took a deep breath, turned around, and said to the team that came out with him: "Feng Qing, you quickly lead a team of cavalry out of the city to chase Fan Liuhai, and be sure to recover him." ”

"Fan Liuhai seems to have had some misunderstandings about me, and left with the papers, if he escapes from the country, it will inevitably bring disaster...... Remember, it's best to bring him back alive, and I want to ask him personally why he didn't say goodbye. ”

"No. Feng Qing lowered his voice in response, clearly seeing the killing intent flashing in Li Chengye's eyes, and understood the meaning of this order.

It's best to bring it back alive, and naturally you don't have to keep your hands when it's critical.
