Seeing that He Chou was beginning to feel a little unable to hold on, Li Po knew it was time to leave.
But before he could open his mouth, someone strode towards him from outside the hall. Looking at his muscular appearance, Li Po knew it was Luo San without having to guess.
He didn't bring Luo Shixin with him when he came out this time. At this time, Luo Shixin came looking for him, and Li Po felt a twitch in his heart. Maybe something big had happened.
Luo Shixin walked in in a hurry and bowed. Seeing that there were only two people in the hall, Li Po and He Chou, he did not hide anything and suppressed his loud voice.
"Yu Chigong, Zhang Lun and others urgently report that Qu Tutong has surrendered."
With just this short sentence, both Li Po and He Chou were overjoyed. They had been waiting for this news for a while.
He Chou stood up unsteadily and immediately bowed, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Qu Tutong surrenders, Guanxi is in hand."
It's not just Kansai... Li Po laughed, "It's been expected, I just don't know when... Also, Mr. He, please don't make it public, I will be of great use for this good report.
It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye now. You have a good time and have a good rest. There are so many things that require your constant presence."
…………………………………………
After coming out of the He Mansion, Li Po looked up at the sky. It was too late and it seemed that it was not appropriate to go anywhere. But in a good mood, he always felt that it would be boring to go back like this.
"Where else are you going, brother? I will accompany you there."
Luo Shixin didn't care whether it was late or not. Seeing where Li Po was hesitating, he immediately started agitating.
Li Po looked at him funny, after all these years? This guy was the only one around him who didn't seem to have changed much, and he could even call him brother.
Even if other people were as close as Yuen Long back then, they still had the distinction between monarch and minister? They no longer dared to appear in front of him casually.
Of course? Don’t get me wrong? He himself enjoys this sense of power. Otherwise, do you think a person who always calls others brothers can reach where he is today?
Is Luo Shixin heartless? So Li Po won't argue with him? Try someone else. I must let you know that the word "brother" is worth a thousand pieces of gold and cannot suppress you.
After thinking about it, I am not in a hurry to go back. The good news has come through. It is indeed important and great news. But it has been discussed before. Once the good news from Qu Tutong comes back, it will take a while.
Since there was nothing that he had to go back to deal with, he could still relax for a while.
There must be more entertainment activities in Chang'an at night than in Jinyang. He really wanted to see the difference between Chang'an's brothel and Chuguan in Jinyang. Su Dan seemed to have been there several times. This bastard? Damn it.
Of course, this is just what he was thinking about? There are so many people around him? There must be the eyes and ears of Granny Li Bi? Now that granny is in charge of the harem, there are many people there, and many people have not simple family backgrounds? Enough for that granny to drink
It's a pot, and I'm definitely in a bad mood. Let's not cause trouble for others, right?
However, I was in a good mood, and suddenly I had an idea in my head. I just changed my mind and said, "Xu Shiji reported a few days ago that Cheng Zhijie has been brought back. How about we go meet this old friend from Mayi?"
Luo Shixin opened his mouth wide, revealing his white teeth, and smiled in an extremely malicious manner, "That thief is still alive. I even blush for him. I don't know how many people he has surrendered to. He is worse than a woman in a brothel."
Is this thing worthy of meeting my brother?
Why don't I go and kill him with a knife, lest this guy go around talking about how he is with my brother and ruin his reputation."
Li Po smiled, although Luo San's whistling looked scary, in fact, he was not as resentful as he was when he returned to Yunnei.
Luo San and Cheng Zhijie were both from Shandong. They went to Mayi together and had a deep friendship. Later, they returned to Shandong together. They were like conjoined twins. Who would have thought that many years later, the two would become enemies?
At that time, Luo Shixin returned to Shandong and joined Zhang Xutuo, while Cheng Zhijie started to engage in the robbery business. Later, Cheng Zhijie joined Zhai Rang and Li Mi's Wagang army.
By the time Zhang Xutuo became the ambassador of Henan Province, the Wagang heroes who were chasing him ran all over the place, and the feud between the two sides had been forged.
Until Zhang Xutuo died in the battle, Luo Shixin led his men to escape from Hebei and transferred to Yunnei. When he saw Li Po talking about Cheng Zhijie, he looked like he was gnashing his teeth and wishing he could eat his flesh raw.
But now that many years have passed, the "small grudge" forged in troubled times is actually not worth mentioning. Luo Shixin is just pretending to show that Cheng Zhijie and I are no longer in the same group, and he looks down on him.
Li Po also looked down on Cheng Big Beard, but he was in a good mood. Now that he remembered it, he went to see him, so as not to think of the big bearded man when he was in a bad mood and kill him... After all, it was not acquaintance.
?
Li Po laughed loudly, got on his horse and said, "Let's go, let's go see Cheng Dabeard. I hope he won't laugh as ugly as he did back then."
Luo Shixin mounted his horse and followed closely, "If that guy can still laugh? I must have pulled out his teeth."
…………………………
When they found Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Zhijie was happily breathing out his stomach.
This time, all the people brought back by Xu Shiji were temporarily detained at the Youtun Guards House. Except for Cheng Zhijie, everyone else actually had merits for Xianguan. They can only be free after their merits and demerits are discussed.
, and is likely to be appointed directly.
Cheng Zhijie is very complicated. He was one of the people who surrendered from Henan in Tongguan. He in turn killed Li Jiancheng, which was considered a civil strife in Tongguan. However, he was later captured by the Tongguan defenders, and they went to Chang'an together.
Do you think he has made meritorious deeds or has made mistakes? I guess even Cheng Zhijie himself doesn’t know for sure.
It's just that Cheng Zhijie has seen too many storms and waves, and he is very tolerant.
For dinner, I ate three bowls of corn rice, gnawed on a leg of lamb, and drank a bowl of treasure soup to reminisce about the nostalgia. My stomach was round after eating, and I was lying on the hard couch to eat.
This was very different from Li Po's imagination. Cheng Dashu was not too embarrassed, nor was he scared out of his wits. Compared with the Cheng Dashu who had been tricked by him countless times, he was really different.
As expected of Cheng Zhijie, his vitality is comparable to that of Xiaoqiang.
When Li Po appeared in front of Cheng Zhijie and said, "Commander Cheng, are you alright?" Cheng's bearded performance was truly wonderful.
He looked at Li Po for a long time, as if he was recognizing someone, and then his beard started to tremble, and tears came out desperately. He wanted to give Li Po a hug or something, but Li Po took a step back to prevent him from taking the opportunity to assassinate, while Luo Shixin stepped forward.
He stepped out and kicked him to the ground.
Cheng Dabeard, who was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, didn't care about this at all. He stood up and immediately cried: "Brother Xian... I miss my brother so much."
Suddenly, Li Po got goosebumps all over his body, and he wished he could chop this guy into pieces.
Luo Shixin was furious and started beating him violently. Yuchixin, who came after hearing the news, had his eyelids twitching. He felt that it was unnecessary for him to come here. I heard that Cheng Zhijie had an old relationship with the king, so it would be over for them to just talk about the past.
, why should we join in the fun?
"Don't fight, don't fight, join the army and spare your life, join the army and spare your life."
They are all old names from back then. It seems that Cheng Zhijie has put a lot of thought into it and is now thicker-skinned and more cunning than before.
Luo Shixin struck hard, and after only a few blows, Cheng Zhijie couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted for a chance to spare his life, and began to resist desperately, but he couldn't win. Luo Shixin pinned him firmly to the ground, and he beat him hard like a drum.
Same.
"Okay, let him get up. Don't beat him to death. After all, he has been to Liaodong with us, right?"
After a while, Li Po said slowly, but Cheng Zhijie was already bruised and swollen, and was beaten almost to death.
Seeing his unlucky look, Luo Shixin laughed loudly, and all the resentment he had felt over the years seemed to be wiped away. He picked up Cheng Zhijie and threw him at Li Po's feet.
Li Po said with a smile: "Cheng Dalang, many of your brothers have returned to the underworld. If you want to accompany them, it is easy. It only requires one knife. When you took people away from the Black Wind Pass, I wanted to do that.
I just wanted everyone to get to know each other before letting you go.
Humph, if you don’t talk nicely today, how about I give you a stab and settle the grudges from back then?”
Cheng Zhijie grunted a few times, and he was indeed beaten severely. After working hard for a long time, he got up, wiped away the nosebleed, and beat his chest feebly: "I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will give you to Your Majesty."
Effectiveness."
"It doesn't matter if you try to the death, I just ask you not to bring people into the house and shout to kill them."
Cheng Zhijie said nothing. With his thick skin, this sarcasm is definitely nothing now. Maybe he is still replying to you in his heart, as long as you always have the upper hand, how can I dare to lead people to the door?
Cheng Dabeard did not disappoint Li Po, he put on a good show and deserved to be beaten to the shit by Luo Shixin.
Looking back now, there are still many old friends who went to Liaodong together. What does this mean? It means that Li Po has a really good heart.
It's not like Cheng Dabeard. If you ask him about the people who went home with him, he still doesn't remember them. They probably died and their bones have not been found.
When he first came to Mayi, Li Po didn't like this bearded "celebrity", and he still doesn't like him now. But since he didn't want to cut off his head, he had to find a place for him to go.
Where can such a capricious guy feel at ease? Li Po felt a little troubled.
In fact, he also knew that people like Cheng Zhijie were just born in response to the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty. In peacetime, they were just scoundrels in the city. They might run rampant in the countryside, but it would be difficult for him to do great evil if you let him.
But things are different in troubled times. You ask Cheng Zhijie what he did in Shandong? Did he eat two-legged sheep? What did he do when he arrived in Luoyang? Several families were looted and how many clans were wiped out? Whose husbands did he kill and rob?
Whose daughter?
Don't look at him playing rogue with you now, it's a bit ridiculous to shed tears, but if you look at him again when he is acting cruel, it's not an exaggeration to call him the living king of hell.
