After the imperial edict was read out, everyone was stunned. The eunuch who announced the edict laughed and said, "Master Liu, you still don't accept the edict?" Liu Songpo woke up from a dream, bowed three times and knocked on the mountain to shout long live.
With a "clang", the steel knife fell to the ground. Mrs. Liu, who was extremely nervous, fainted from surprise. Liu Jingyun and her daughter-in-law hurriedly supported her. Their faces were also full of tears and they were sobbing. Only Liu Ying'er clapped her hands and jumped up and down.
Shouted: "Daddy will not die!"
Such a dramatic change shocked Yuan Feng, but soldiers are not afraid of deceit. Who knows what is going on here? A group of guards in uniforms came to kill Liu Zhixian, and then came an imperial envoy to promote him to an official position. Who are these two groups of people?
Relationship, which group is the real one? Still can't let down our guard and just wait and see what happens.
After Liu Songpo kowtowed, he did not accept the order, saying: "I am a humble minister who is guilty and dare not accept the order."
The eunuch who delivered the order raised his eyebrows, as if he had just seen the shackles on Liu Songpo's body, and said in surprise: "Master Liu, who is so bold as to give you a torture device?"
"In the morning, a team of Jinyi guards came. They said they were ordered by Beizhen Fusi and Dali Temple to escort the subordinates to Beijing for questioning. The county officials wanted to check their official documents, but they killed and injured several people. If it weren't for Eunuch Gao
I arrived in time, I am afraid that Xiaguan is in a different place, and I don’t understand why the Jin Yiwei wants to kill Xiaguan, but the emperor wants to promote him."
"False! This group of Jin Yiwei must be thieves pretending to be trying to kill the imperial officials. Come on, please go in and take the thieves." Eunuch Gao gave an order, and the soldiers on both sides rushed into the city, and soon they killed the Jin Yiwei.
The remaining troops were brought out. When the leading guard in Jinyi saw Eunuch Gao, he shouted with a mournful face: "Eunuch Gao, save me."
Eunuch Gao flicked his sleeves: "Bold thieves, whoever knows you, take them all away!" After searching the keys from the guards, Eunuch Gao personally helped Liu Songpo open the torture instrument and said gently: "It is bitterly cold in the northwest, and the emperor is afraid that you will get exposed to this."
The cold has taken away the root of the disease, so I specially gave you a white bear skin to make a mattress for you. This white bear skin is only produced in the far north. It won't melt even if the snowflakes fall on it in winter. It is a rare treasure and the emperor's heart. Mr. Liu must not let it down.
.”
Liu Songpo then bowed to the east, shouting long live the mountain, and received the imperial edict. Eunuch Gao asked someone to bring over the new official uniform of the governor and the white bear skin, saying: "Our family is in a hurry to return to Beijing, so we will not go into the city."
Sorry to bother you, Lord Liu, please pack your bags and go to work as soon as possible. Let’s say goodbye. In the future, Lord Liu will return to the capital and regain power, but don’t forget our family.”
Liu Songpo said: "I will never forget Eunuch Gao's life-saving grace. Since the angel is eager to return to Beijing to resume his life, I don't dare to force him to stay and send Eunuch Gao away."
"That's all, Mr. Liu, please come back. We will meet again later." Eunuch Gao handed over his hand, turned around reservedly, got on the horse with the support of the guards, and led his men to turn around. The prisoners of the Jinyiwei were also shackled and held in custody.
in the team.
Watching the imperial envoy team go away, Liu Songpo let out a long sigh: "I thought I could stay away from the court battles in this remote place, but I didn't know they were still unwilling to let me go."
Yuan Feng asked: "Sir, why can the imperial court issue two completely opposite orders in one day, dismissal from office and investigation of guilt and promotion of official status? The difference is too big."
Liu Songpo said: "You don't understand what happened in the court, but you are responsible for surviving this desperate situation. The emperor just knew that our Luyang County took the lead in inspecting tea and horse smuggling, and set an example for the court to reopen the horse administration.
That’s when I was given the decree to promote me, well, Zhou Ziqing must have contributed to this, it must have been that he flew 800 miles to report to the capital, so the emperor knew about the affairs on this frontier.”
"So, the Imperial Guards were not sent by the emperor?" Yuan Feng still didn't understand.
"You don't have to worry about those things. Whether they are real or fake, it's good to be safe." Liu Songpo sighed again, turned around, put the white bear skin and the imperial edict on the prison cart, and hobbled away with his wife.
The county paid for a few coffins and collected the government officials who died in the war. The dead Jin Yiwei were buried in random pits. The northwest was poor and lacked clothes and clothing. The people who collected the corpses saw that the clothes and boots on Jin Yiwei were like this.
It was fresh, so he peeled it off from the dead body. When Yuan Feng saw it, he had an idea and groped for it on the dead body. Sure enough, he gained a lot. Jin Yiwei's brass waist badge and customs clearance document, etc., as well as a belt knife.
Crossbows and other weapons.
"Take off the dead man's coat, helmet, and official boots and send them to Shibali Fort, and I will reward you with money." Yuan Feng said to several of his poor men. The poor men naturally agreed in succession to Yuan's words.
Wang Xiaoga was hit by two arrows. Fortunately, the arrows were not poisoned and neither hit the vital point, so he was not in danger for the time being. The county magistrate, thinking of his loyalty and bravery, decided to take him with him to serve as a strong man in the state government.
Class leaders and government officials who died or were injured also received generous pensions.
Luyang County is a poor county, but Tongcheng is a rich state. The area under its jurisdiction is rich in copper and silver, which is an important source of economy for the province. Liu Songpo will naturally be of great use after taking office. Mr. Liu and his family are packing their bags to prepare for their appointment. Yuan Feng is worried.
But suddenly he had an ominous premonition that something might happen to his family. He hurriedly bid farewell to Mr. Liu, asked for a horse and rushed to Shibali Fort.
At this time, the team led by Zhang Tietou also rushed outside the Shibali Fort. Looking at the fortified castle, Lao Li couldn't help but nod secretly. Seeing his relatives arriving, cheers came from the fort, the fort gate opened, and the villagers
People swarmed out to greet their relatives who had not seen them for a long time. There was a lot of laughter and excitement for a while. The adults were laughing, the children were making noises, and the dolls that seven or eight-year-olds disliked were squirming under the legs of the adults, playing and playing.
Suddenly Lao Li's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see someone familiar, but he rubbed his eyes again, a little unable to believe his own judgment.

A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old with beautiful features, dressed in coarse clothes, with two hairpins on her head, her face covered with mud, rushed out of the castle on a huge white dog, shouting: "
Drive!" Followed by a group of snotty little boys running wildly, Lao Li felt his throat was dry and his head was dizzy. This girl looked too much like his daughter, but there were essential differences, especially those big bright eyes.
The one who flickers and talks, and the one who looks left and right looks like a blind person.
The little girl took a look at the cavalry at the gate of the fort and confirmed that it had nothing to do with her. Then she led a group of children and ran away to an open place in the distance. She actually led the group of children to fight, causing dirt and garbage to fly everywhere.
The big white dog was relieved and slipped away with its tail between its legs. It also sniffed as it passed by the door. A pair of ferocious eyes immediately looked at Lao Li, shocking him to his wits! This was not a dog at all, it was clearly a rare silver wolf!
The team entered the fort, and soon the siren sounded, the gongs beat wildly, the people outside quickly shrank, and the fort door was closed tightly. Zhao Ding'an convened a meeting with all the people in the town. Now he has taken over Yuan Feng's position as the official.
The town's land security guards and security guards were all at his disposal.
The meeting was held under the flagpole, with old and young men sitting on the ground. Ladies and children could also participate. Anyway, there were no outsiders in the village.
"Folks, Brother Feng said that Yuchi's family in Chang'an was beaten unpleasantly last time, and this time hundreds of people came to attack our fort. It's only been two days. What do you think we should do?"
"Hit! Beat him until he is subdued."
"We can't show mercy this time, we have to kill him."
The villagers were chattering away, seemingly not caring. Ever since the incident with the Duyi Dao, the Shibalibao people had been invincible. Over time, this group of country people also developed a calm and unhurried attitude, which made
Lao Li was very surprised.
"Okay, listen to my order, and go out forty miles to explore the horse. All the four villages and eight towns must be on guard. As long as something happens, smoke will be set off during the day and fires will be lit at night. The teams of Master Luo and Master Liu will arrive as soon as possible and camp outside the fort temporarily.
When the thieves come, we will work together inside and outside to make dumplings for them."
The villagers applauded, clapped their hands, and the dogs barked. The meeting ended and people went home to cook. Zhao Ding'an left only a few key members to gather together to discuss how to arrange their troops. Lao Li
They were arranged to rest in a guest room near the fort wall.
Lao Li couldn't sit still. He found an excuse to sneak out to look for the little girl riding the dog. At this time, his heart was full of the girl's voice and smile. How could there be two people so similar in the world, but his own daughter
There are no twin sisters, and the eye disease has been seen by many famous doctors and they all said it is impossible to cure. Now this girl not only has healthy eyes, but also has a personality that is incompatible with her daughter, and hangs out with a bunch of naughty children.
He looks like a mud monkey, but there is no trace of being quiet and delicate at all.
Lao Li was walking around the town. At this time, smoke was rising from every house, and there were fewer people on the street. Suddenly, the sound of reading attracted him. He walked over and took a look, and saw a courtyard built with earthen walls.
, a group of children are studying with their husband.
"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, similar in nature, and distant in habits..." The gentleman was teaching the Three-Character Classic. The students were the same group of people who were having fun outside the bunker just now. The girl was sitting in the front row, and her voice was like an oriole's graceful recitation.
The words were spoken with a smooth accent, exactly like the Chang'an accent. Lao Li was moved in his heart. Just as he was about to go in and ask, a rapid siren sounded in the distance.
The teacher threw the book away, took out a knife from under the table, held it in his hand, and said to the students: "Each go back to your home and lie down. Don't come out to cause trouble. After that, he went straight away. The students were as happy as the New Year, cheering.
He rushed out, shouting as he ran: "It's a war again! It's a war again!"
