On the day Li Zhang was about to leave Qingzhou, news came from Dangxiang that Li Deming was finally dead, and he died very suddenly. It is said that Li Deming died on the road after escaping from the evil path because of his serious injuries. His son Li Chengyu claimed that Li Deming passed the throne to him before his death, and is now rushing to Xingzhou, which is the old nest of the Dangxiang people to inherit the throne and compete for Dangxiang's power.

"What about Li Yuanhao? Although he is disabled, he probably won't give the throne to Li Chengyu easily, right?" After hearing the news brought by Cao Ma, Li Zhang immediately asked.

Although Li Zhang and the others had such speculations about Li Deming's death before, after all, the other party was gunshot wounded in a terrible way, but when the news came, they were still a little unbelievable, especially Li Zhang knew very clearly that Li De in history had nearly ten years to live, but now he was really killed by himself in advance?

"I don't know the situation on Li Yuanhao's side. After all, this news came too suddenly. There was no news from Xingzhou's detailed work. However, according to my father's estimate, even if Li Yuanhao was completely depressed, Li Chengyu might not be able to sit on the throne of King Xia. I'm afraid that an internal strife will break out in Xingzhou soon!" Cao Mata said excitedly again at this time. Whether it was the news of Li Deming's death or the civil strife of Dangxiang, it was excellent news for the Song Dynasty.

Li Zhang also deeply agreed with Cao Wei's analysis of this matter. Moreover, according to the records of Li Yuanhao in history books, this person should not be defeated by a blow. So after Li Cheng came back this time, I am afraid that Li Yuanhao would not be willing to give up the throne that should belong to him. Then there will be a good show within Dangxiang.

"It's a pity that I'm leaving. I'm afraid I can't see this good show of brothers fighting each other!" Li Zhang suddenly showed a regretful look at this time, and Cao Mata next to him was frightened when he heard his words. The reason why the current situation within Dangxiang was caused by Li Zhang could be said to be caused by Li Zhang. Who would have thought that the teenage boy in front of him had such a way to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain?

"My father also said that if you stay in Gyeongju for a few more years, Dangxiang would probably be destroyed in your hands. He also said that you will be able to go out to join the generals and ministers in the future and let me make friends with you well. Unfortunately, my sisters will either get married or get engaged to someone early. Otherwise, my father will definitely marry my sister to you, but I still have many cousins. Yesterday, my father said yesterday that he wanted to find a talented and beautiful betrothal from his cousin to you." Cao Masa said again half jokingly and half seriously.

"Forget it, I don't want to get married yet. I appreciate General Cao's kindness!" Li Zhang heard that Cao Wei was going to marry his niece to him, so he hurriedly refused, because he remembered that Zhao Zhen's third queen, that Empress Cao, was the daughter of Cao Wei's younger brother. Moreover, Empress Cao was a second marriage, and her life experience could also be called "legendary", but it was still much worse than her mother-in-law Liu E.

Although the news of Li Deming's death made Li Zhang extremely ecstatic, he did not change his itinerary. After all, the urge in the capital was very urgent, especially the word "quick return" given to him by Liu E made him feel even more at ease with the capital. So after chatting with Cao Ma, he left Qingzhou City with a wild dog in a car.

Hu Yan Shouxin and Li Zhang also left the city together. Cao Ya, the Jin family, Di Qing and others also came to see him off. Even Cao Wei came in person. However, because the news of Li Deming's death came, everyone was discussing this matter on the way, which diluted the sadness of parting.

"Li Zhang, these are the clothes and dry food prepared by my mother and I on the way. You should also pay attention to safety along the way!" When we parted, Jin Xiaomei handed a bag of clothes and dry food to Li Zhang, and her fat face was covered with tears.

Speaking of which, Jin Xiaomei has grown taller again. Although Li Zhang has grown a lot taller, he is still half shorter than her. A woman of such a tall one is rare in the Song Dynasty. For this reason, Jin Shan and Mrs. Jin are also worried about how she will marry in the future. After all, women who are too tall are not easy to marry. Fortunately, as Jin Xiaomei grows taller, her weight has also dropped. Although she is still fat, she is much thinner than before.

"Then I'm not polite!" Li Zhang immediately accepted with a smile. There was no need to say thank you for his relationship with the Jin family. Mrs. Jin and Jin Shan almost treated him as their family.

"Remember to write a letter to me when you go back, and there are also Yan Niang, Li Er and the others, so they should not forget me. When I have time in the future, I might go back to the capital to visit them!" Jin Xiaomei said reluctantly at this time.

"One month was my younger sister's birthday. My younger sister didn't have many friends in Qingzhou. I thought I would invite you and the wild dog to celebrate her birthday that day, but the capital was so urging me so hard that I won't keep you!" Jinshan also walked forward and said. He had helped Li Zhang rectify the border city before, but he didn't want to work in the government, but wanted to do business by himself. Li Zhang also respected his choice. Anyway, the Cao family father and son helped to take care of him, so there was no need to worry about what Kingsoft did.

Li Zhang is a rough man. Sometimes he can't even remember his birthday, so when he heard that it would be Jin Xiaomei's birthday in another month, he couldn't help but be surprised. Then he thought that Jin Xiaomei had prepared food and clothing for him on the road, and he should give her a birthday gift in advance no matter what.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang also touched himself, but found that there were not many things that could be made as gifts. Things like purses, jade pendants, etc. cannot be given to others casually, so as not to cause misunderstandings. The remaining purses and the like cannot be used as gifts. In addition, there is a pistol. Li Zhang really couldn't bear it. After all, there were only two in this world, and the other one had been booked by Zhao Zhen long ago.

Finally, Li Zhang finally took something from his waist. This thing was very suitable for giving to Jin Xiaomei, so he personally handed it to her and said, "Little sister, you are about to have a birthday, and I haven't prepared any decent gifts. This dagger is for me to defend myself. You like to practice martial arts and can use the usefulness of the dagger more than me!"

This dagger was also found by Li Zhang from the plane. There were only a few short knives and daggers for hunting in the box. Apart from giving a short knives to the wild dog, only Lu Wu was given one. The remaining Li Zhang carried a dagger with him, and now he happened to give it to Jin Xiaomei.

Jin Xiaomei was a little embarrassed at first. After all, Li Zhang was about the same age as her. Although the two had a good relationship, she still felt a little shy when receiving gifts from men of the same age. However, Jin Shan had already taken them for her and pulled out the dagger in front of her and looked at them. She said in surprise: "This dagger and the wild dog's short knife seem to be made with the same technique. It's not the same person."

Jinshan had seen a wild dog's short knife, but the sword was so precious that it was so precious that others could not even touch it. Just now, when he saw Li Zhang sending out the dagger, he thought of the wild dog's short knife from his appearance, so he hurriedly took it because he knew that Jin Xiaomei would definitely like it.

"Yes, this dagger and short knife are originally the same." Li Zhang nodded with a smile.

"That's great, I've received the gift, thank you!" As soon as Li Zhang finished speaking, Jin Xiaomei reached out to grab the dagger in Jinshan's hand and said in surprise. She also knew that the wild dog had a very sharp short knife, but the wild dog didn't easily use it, and she rarely saw it.

"Sister Jin, if you don't like it, why not give it to me!" At this time, Di Qing also rushed forward and begged Jin Xiaomei. Since he was defeated by the wild dog, he has always regarded the wild dog as his goal. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried during this period, he was no match for the wild dog. Moreover, he had seen the wild dog practice swords with his own eyes, and he was extremely envious of his short knife that was as sharp as mud. Now that he saw a dagger that was equally sharp, he naturally wanted to ask for it.

"I want it? Let's talk about it when you can beat me!" Jin Xiaomei put away the dagger and said with a smile.

As a result, Di Qing immediately lost his face when he heard Jin Xiaomei's words. Not only could he not beat the wild dog, but even Jin Xiaomei could not beat him. This cannot be blamed. First, Jin Xiaomei was a few years older than him, and second, although Jin Xiaomei was a woman, she was tall and practiced martial arts all year round. Di Qing had not yet grown up in size, so she was naturally no match for Jin Xiaomei.

Seeing Di Qing's appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help but laugh, then thought for a moment and said again: "Di Qing, if you can kill a thousand enemies in the future, I will give you the same dagger!"

"Take it seriously?" Di Qing couldn't help but lit his eyes when he heard Li Zhang's words. Although killing a thousand enemies is not something that ordinary people can accomplish. Such military merit can be at the lowest level among the border troops, he is very confident. In addition, Cao Ma, Hu Yan Shouxin and others who he usually contacts have relatively high official positions, so a single head is nothing in his eyes.

"Of course it's true. As long as you can kill a thousand enemies, I will send someone to send a dagger. However, it must be a real enemy, that is, the ones recorded on the military's merits will count!" Li Zhang smiled again and said, "The army has few military merits, which are used to record the number of enemies killed by soldiers and other contributions made, for future promotions.

"No problem. As long as the enemy dares to come, I will accumulate such military merits in a few years!" Di Qing immediately patted his chest and promised. Seeing his newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, Cao Wei and others next to him couldn't help but smile. Maybe they didn't believe much about the words of a young man like Di Qing, but Di Qing's achievements in the future will definitely shock all of them, and even Cao Wei's fame will be suppressed by Di Qing.
