Chapter 056 Yuan Ji - Whose disciples and whose yard (1)

Listening to the footsteps, there were only four or five people coming, but Liu Shuyi still did not dare to be careless. He thought that when the person who came into the house, his vigilance would be greatly reduced, he would attack him secretly.

Suddenly, I heard a loud cry, and a pair of children were crying loudly.

The head boy shouted: "Why are you crying? I didn't give you money. If I hadn't been unlucky today, I wouldn't have lived in this dilapidated thatched house."

The child's mother hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, my son, I'm sorry, we will definitely not be able to collect this money."

The head boy said, "We are not strong men of bandits and will not live in your house for no reason. You must accept this money."

Then the footsteps were shattering, as if someone had stuffed money to the woman in response to the order of the young man.

The head boy said again: "Isn't there a woodshed in the courtyard? Your family will spend the night there tonight. I will compensate you when you leave tomorrow. OK, OK, I'm sleepy, you can leave quickly." He even issued an order to expel guests at someone else's house.

Liu Shuyi was resentful, but thought that this person was obviously not a traitor and evil person. Judging from his voice, he was not very old. He might have been born in a wealthy family, spoiled and a little arrogant and domineering.

When I thought of the sound, I immediately felt that the voice of the leading boy was familiar. I seemed to have heard it somewhere, but I racked my brains but couldn't remember where I saw this person.

Then the knock on the door sounded, and Liu Shuyi whispered: "The door is open, please push the door directly and don't let them know that there are others at home."

The wood door was pushed open, and the village farmer and his wife led the two children in. The child was frightened before, but still sobbed continuously. The second child had seen Liu Shuyi and others before, and suddenly saw many people in the wood room, but he was not afraid.

Liu Shuyi asked softly: "How many of them have they entered the house?"

The woman said: "There are five people in total, two of them holding torches and guarding the door, while the other three are in the house."

Liu Shuyi settled the village farmer's family aside, summoned everyone, and whispered: "At a moment, Brother Beggar and I will go out first. It is dim outside. The two of us hold torches and cannot see clearly from afar. We will definitely think that we are the village farmer and his wife.

Brother Caier and I took advantage of the situation and suddenly took action. When we were a little sure to control them, we rushed out immediately when we heard the movement. We must teach these uninvited guests a lesson."

Xiao Liu wanted to squeeze Sun Qi'er at this time, but when the situation was critical, he swallowed the words into his stomach.

Xiao Huan was concerned about everyone's safety, especially seeing Liu Shuyi's weak body, he was particularly worried, but he knew that it was useless to persuade him at this moment, so he could only worry secretly.

Everything was done according to the plan. Liu Shuyi and Sun Qier each held a wooden stick, carried it behind his back, slowly walked out of the woodshed and walked straight to the main hall.

He stood in front of the house, holding a torch, and said that it was the couple who had just entered, and asked, "What are you doing here? Is there anything important?" His tone was gentle, but his attitude was not bad.

Seeing this, Liu Shuyi changed his mind temporarily and whispered to Sun Qier: "Don't take a heavy move, find out where the other party is coming first."

While speaking, he held the wooden stick tightly in his right hand and exerted force with his right arm, and then swung the baton to hit the man on the left.

The man on the left raised the torch in front of him, trying to see the person's face clearly. Under the firelight, a familiar face appeared in front of him. He was shocked and shouted: "Young Master Liu, why is it you?"

Liu Shuyi was shocked. The wooden stick was raised high and did not fall down. He asked, "Do you know me? Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man on the right was hit by Sun Qier's wooden stick. He screamed in pain and shouted: "Come here, come here, there is an assassin!"

As soon as this statement came out, the farmer's family in Xiaoxiaoxiang was in chaos.

Xiao Liu and others in the woods immediately rushed out of the room and stood behind Liu Shuyi. The three of them heard the movement and hurried out to support him. For a moment, the two sides were as if they were facing each other and were ready to fight.

The man holding the torch on the left shouted, "And assistant, they are all their own people."

He turned around and said to the head boy in the room, "Fourth Young Master, who is outside?"

Liu Shuyi was confused in his heart: Fourth Young Master? Who is the Fourth Young Master?

Suddenly, my thoughts came to mind: This person knows me, and he is also called the fourth young master. Could it be Li Yuan's fourth son Li Yuanji?

That boy is Li Yuanji.

The matter started a few days ago. That day, Li Yuan received a letter from Chang'an, which was sent by his son-in-law Chai Shao, saying that he was coming to Taiyuan to help his father-in-law and work together to plan major events.

When the letter was sent, Chai Shao had already set out from Chang'an and was about to travel to Xicheng County, Xihe County, hoping that his father-in-law would send someone to greet him. As for the reason for going far away, it was because Zhen Zhai'er occupied the Jushi Valley in Yong'an.

Li Yuan immediately held a family meeting, and then he learned that it was his second son Shimin who invited Chai Shao and his wife to Taiyuan several times. Li Yuan was furious and scolded Li Shimin hard, but he thought Chai Shao had already set out, and writing a letter to dissuade him at this moment was meaningless, and welcoming him still had to be welcomed.

But it took a lot of thought to send someone to welcome him. Now Zhen Zhai'er is eyeing him, and Wang Wei and Gao Junya are watching him. If there is any news, Chai Shao will be worried about his life. He is particularly fond of his daughter Li Xiuning, and he loves the house and the Wuwu, so he pays more attention to Chai Shao's safety.

It is obviously not appropriate to welcome the crowd with big fanfare. It is best to send a team of people to hide their identities and greet them secretly. However, the responsible person must be carefully selected, but the war is imminent, and Jiancheng and Shimin cannot leave. If you send outsiders to participate in this matter, you will never be relieved.

Li Yuan was very worried about this.

At this moment, Li Yuanji recommended himself and was willing to go there. Because he was young, lacked experience, and had no ability to respond to problems, Li Yuan thought he was embarrassed by his great responsibilities and refused decisively.

Li Yuanji was dissatisfied and insisted on asking for each other. He was even willing to issue a military order. If he could not safely welcome his brother-in-law, he would be dealt with by military law.

Seeing that he was so resolute, Li Yuan was secretly happy. In addition, Li Jiancheng was helping Li Yuanji speak, so Li Yuan finally agreed.

In order to ensure that Li Yuanji and Chai Shao return safely, Li Yuan carefully selected five people and guarded Li Yuanji. Li Jiancheng also drew two confidant generals from the mansion, one of whom also knew Chai Shao, and gathered together seven people to accompany Li Yuanji on the road.

The two people sent by Li Jiancheng were two people guarding the house with torches. The man on the left was in charge of Li Jiancheng's safety when he went out. Because Li Jiancheng went out shopping with Liu Shuyi many times, he knew Liu Shuyi.

A group of eight people, an ox cart, and six horses. The carriages and horses were secretly transported out of the city early in the morning. Li Yuanji and eight others secretly left the city in ordinary clothes. When they arrived at the ox cart and the horses were parked, they got on the cart, got on the horses, and headed towards Xihexi City.

Before leaving, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng sincerely warned Li Yuanji to act in a low-key manner, remember to hide his identity, not cause trouble, meddling in other people's business, and always put major events first.

Li Yuanji was fourteen years old at the time. He was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. Although he agreed, he did not agree. He thought that with so many good guards, the trip would be smooth sailing. What else can I worry about?

After walking for a while, he saw that it was far away from Taiyuan, so he left Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's instructions behind. The two horses opened the way in front of the horses, the two horses guarded the left and right, and the two horses were behind to watch. The ox cart was in the center, and the carriage and horses took the avenue and walked slowly.

On the way, he naturally encountered many refugees. Li Yuanji was on the whim and spread a lot of food in the car. Seeing a group of refugees kneeling in front of the car and burst into tears, Li Yuanji felt very proud and couldn't help but tell him his identity so that he could win people's hearts.

At this time, someone from around the world reminded him that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's instructions were immediately remembered before leaving, and said to the refugees: "I have limited ability and can only help you here, but you continue to travel east and you will be able to reach Taiyuan soon. I just came out of Taiyuan, and now I am the Duke of Tang, Duke of Tang, Duke of Tang, loves the people as much as his son and sympathizes with the people. When you go to Taiyuan, Duke of Tang will provide relief and resettle you."

But there were too many refugees, only one hour, and the food prepared in advance had basically been completely dispersed, but the refugees were still flocking to them regardless of the situation.

Li Yuanji first told the truth and explained patiently, but the refugees were extremely hungry, so how could they believe it? Those who were more courageous would have to get in the car to snatch them. Li Yuanji's seven guards were all agile, and the refugees were weak and powerless, so how could they succeed?

Seeing that this method was effective, Li Yuanji stopped explaining it. As long as he saw someone surrounding him, he ordered the guard to drive him away. In this way, no one would come to harass him again.

Since then, we have been at peace. Unexpectedly, in the evening, refugees have appeared again, with hundreds of people. Li Yuanji and eight others are stunned and at a loss.

It turned out that although Li Yuanji had already scattered the food in the car, the refugees firmly believed that there must be some in the car. They saw Li Yuanji sitting in a ox cart and many guards were sent to him, so they must have been born in a wealthy family. I thought that in addition to food, there should be gold, silver, jewelry and other things in the car. They were desperate and naturally could do anything.

Some of the refugees hate the rich the most on weekdays, and have some prestige among the crowd. They stand up to a higher place, raise their arms, and take advantage of the refugees' hatred of the rich, and hundreds of people gathered immediately.

Li Yuanji and others pulled out the weapons prepared in advance from the car and fought with the bandits. The bandits had red eyes and like madmen, charging towards the ox cart with bare hands, and the guards fought to the death. For a moment, their hands and arms were broken, and the sky was flying, and everyone's faces were covered with blood.

Li Yuanji was spoiled and had never seen such a bloody scene. He was so scared that he hid in the corner of the carriage and shivered.

The bandits suffered heavy casualties and their offensive weakened. Seven guards took this opportunity to protect the ox cart and broke through the siege. However, the bandits did not give up and pursued them relentlessly.

In crisis, the leader of the escort offered a plan and decided to use three people to lead the pursuers, one person drove the cart, two people rode horses to guard, and other horses followed behind. If there was no one around the ox cart, it would be hard to believe.

Li Yuanji was in chaos at this moment. When he heard that he could escape from the heavens, he nodded constantly. The leader of the guard nodded two people. The three kowtowed four times in front of Li Yuanji and left with their heads raised.

Li Yuanji was in panic and fear, and did not respond at that time. Afterwards, he thought about it and regretted it. He couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet. The other four people looked at the backs of the three people on the spot and watched them disappear until they disappeared.

Everyone knew that those three people would never come back.

Since there were no ox, carriage and horses, the remaining four guards had to support Li Yuanji all the way and took him to a hidden and safe place. The five stopped to bandage the wounds, cleaned the blood, and discussed the end in the future. The four guards were entrusted, fearing that Li Yuanji would encounter another mistake, so they unanimously asked Li Yuanji to return to Taiyuan first.

Li Yuanji has recovered from fear at this moment. He is afraid that he will be ridiculed after he returns. He is determined not to return without success and decides to continue to go to Xihexi City. Although the guards had opinions, they did not dare to violate his orders, so the five continued to travel west.

Since then, the five people have been walking on the thorny path, and it is a coincidence that they met Liu Shuyi and others in a farmer's house in a village.

...

When Li Yuanji saw Liu Shuyi, he looked disdainful and snorted coldly: "It's really a enemy, how could you be here?"

Liu Shuyi asked back: "It is very strange that Mr. Li Si, who has always been pampered, suddenly appeared in a rural farmer's house. Some people are shameless and even occupy the house."

Li Yuanji almost died in his life in his heart, and he had already felt angry. At this time, he heard Liu Shuyi's sentences and every word was ridiculous. His chest was so angry that he almost exploded. He shouted: "Take this talkative boy down for me."

The guard who knew Liu Shuyi advised: "The fourth young master calms down. Mr. Liu and the eldest young master have always been good friends, so we cannot be rude to him."

Li Yuanji was extremely angry and waved his hand to slap him in the face, saying, "Are you trying to die? Do you dare to disobey my orders."

The guard dared not say anything again, but if he really wanted to fight Liu Shuyi, he would not be able to do it.

Liu Shuyi said: "If we use five to five, you may not be able to gain the upper hand. In my opinion, we will not disturb each other and the well water will not interfere with the river."

Li Yuanji knew what he said was the truth. Moreover, the guards were injured on their bodies, and they suffered a great loss when they started to take action. But after all, they were depressed and couldn't help but shout, "Get out, get out, get out of here!" After that, he closed the door and left the four guards outside the door.

After a while, Li Yuanji shouted, "Don't you come in for me yet, do you want to rebel?"

The other three guards immediately pushed the door and entered the room. The guard who knew Liu Shuyi nodded slightly to everyone, turned around and walked in.

Liu Shuyi and others did not rush to return to the woodshed. A fire rose in the yard, sat around the fire, and whispered to discuss what to do about this matter.

Sun Qier said: "What is the origin of the four young masters they call? This young boy is too unreasonable, right?"

Liu Shuyi said: "Li Yuanji, the fourth son of the Duke of Tang in Taiyuan, do you think he has a big background?"

Sun Qier curled his lips and said, "So what? Now that he is in trouble, let's teach him a lesson, what can he do to us?"

Suddenly, he thought that Liu Shuyi's family had been taken out of prison by the Tang Duke Li's family. The two must have had a close relationship. He said, "Although he is arrogant and annoying, he has not hurt the rural peasant family in the end. He is not a vicious person, so it is not impossible to let him go."

Xiao Liu took the opportunity to tease, "I see you are a timid mouse. I heard that he is Li Yuanji and has a noble status, so I was so scared that I pee my pants."

Sun Qier said, "If you have the ability, then go. If you beat Li Yuanji, my Sun Qier will never disobey you when he listens to your order in the future."

Xiao Liu was deliberately angry with him, but when he saw him refuting, he stopped talking.

Everyone was used to the two of them quarrels and smiled slightly.

Liu Shuyi smiled and said, "Brother Beggars don't have to worry about my relationship with the Li family." He lowered his voice and then said, "I hate this person so much and really want to beat him. But he is not alone. He has guards around and there are many people. If the beating is heard by his father, it will be inappropriate. It's a pity, a pity!"

Qin Bole giggled and said, "We don't need to do it today. That boy Li Yuanji has suffered. You didn't see that the four guards were injured. The boy was angry and it seemed that he was fighting with someone during the day and was defeated."

Everyone laughed and praised Qin Bole for his observation and carefulness.

Finally, Liu Shuyi suggested that Li Yuanji and the other two stayed in the house for a night, and parted ways tomorrow and went their own way. Everyone agreed to put out the fire in the yard and return to the woodshed to rest.

Although Liu Shuyi knew it was Li Yuanji, he was not afraid of being vigilant at all. He called Sun Qier, and the two leaned against the door and sat on the post to keep a watch.

After struggling for a long time, both of them were exhausted. When they closed their eyes and waited for sleep, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then a soft voice said, "Is Mr. Liu here?"

Liu Shuyi immediately opened his eyes and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

The man outside the woodshed heard Liu Shuyi's voice and was overjoyed and said, "Young Master Liu, you are prone to disturb me and ask for forgiveness, but the matter is urgent. Can you come out and talk?"

Liu Shuyi heard that this person was the guard who knew him, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come out immediately." His eyes signaled Sun Qier not to worry, so he stood up, opened the wooden door, and walked out.
Chapter completed!
