Chapter 5 Promise (two blows) "This old thing!" Li Xu spat with a smile and was used by Zhang Xutuo again. The price was only less than fifty meaty wines in the roadside tavern, but
I promised to help him with such a big thing. Is it easy to deal with the guardian? He was about to invade Pyongyang but had to follow the order. This old man was so angry that he couldn't find a place to take advantage of him at this time.
Isn't the word "seeking death" engraved on his forehead?
"Is it difficult for Mr. Zhang to entrust the matter to Mr. Zhang?" Shi Lan asked with concern after hearing Li Xu curse.
"It's difficult, but it may not be possible at all! Come on, old general, hello!" Li Xu thought carefully for a moment, and shook his head with a wry smile. Although he was being taken advantage of, he was not angry at Zhang Xutuo's actions. On the contrary,
At this moment, what surged in his heart was the joy of being able to do things for others.
His relationship with Zhang Xutuo was not close, just between friends and superiors. However, Zhang Xutuo's method of asking for help made him feel neither the burden of having to help nor the burden of help between friends.
Without the pressure of superiors assigning tasks to subordinates, they "plucked" the goose feathers to protect the children, and just brought them up on the wine table. The scope may seem very general, but there are many tricks behind it.
In order to avoid the imperial court settling accounts after the fall, Mr. Pei Caozhi and the civil servants of Qi County had to prepare a large sum of congratulatory gifts for His Majesty to congratulate him on "pacifying Liaodong". The journey from Licheng to Luoyang was steep and dangerous. If a large number of troops were sent thousands of miles away,
Escort is not in accordance with the national laws. If there are fewer people to escort, I am afraid that it will be in vain to get rid of the bandits along the way. Therefore, since the nurse class teacher is passing here, why not ask him to take the gift back to His Majesty the Emperor. There are a hundred thousand navy escorts, and bandits along the way.
No matter how brave you are, you won’t dare to give these gifts.
The above action is just the first task that Zhang Xutuo wants to complete by Xu Zi. The second task is for him, a soldier of the Sui Dynasty, to "apply" for a batch of armor and weapons from Qijun to his nominal superior.
Without enough blacksmiths and cobblers, it would be impossible to make too many qualified armors in a short period of time. Even if they could, the quality of the shoddy products produced by local craftsmen would not be the same as the armor and equipment produced in batches under the supervision of the imperial court.
By "plucking" a hair from Hu'er's body, the equipment of thousands of brothers has been secured. At the same time, the 150,000 yuan that caused Pei Caozhi and others to vomit blood in pain can be regarded as recovering some of their original capital!
"Is it difficult to get along with the old general who came to take care of the children? Is there anything he likes?"
"Lai, the old general is a good and honest official, and his prestige in the army is no less than that of Yu Wenshu. What I worry about is not giving him gifts, but giving him gifts is of no use at all!" Thinking about the two old military leaders who were sandwiched between Hulao Pass that day.
Feeling embarrassed, Xu Zi couldn't help but twist her brows into a big knot.
If Yu Wenshu had not come to protect his children and use him as a gun that day, Yu Wenshu would not have been so anxious to seize the military power of the Xiongwu Camp. What is right and wrong in this, and how can it be so clear between using and being used?
"Who is Yu Wenshu? Does he have a high official position?" Shi Lan continued to ask, with a strong thirst for knowledge.
"You don't know Yu Wenshu?" Li Xu suddenly raised his head and widened his eyes in surprise. Shi Lan was frightened by his sudden question and quickly glanced to the side. Soon, he turned his face back and defended slyly.
: "I, I rarely asked about things outside before. Then I went to the mountain with my father, and I had no chance to hear about the people and things outside the mountain!"
After listening to Shi Lan's answer, Xu Zi knew that he was being reckless. When he was in Shanggu County, didn't he know nothing about things outside the county? As for Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er and others only knew about it after joining the army.
Only slowly accumulated
A person's vision often affects his judgment. It was precisely because of his misjudgment of the world's situation and his opponents that Shi Zihe lost his life in Qijun. For the same reason, the Beihai bandits were fooled down the mountain by Li Mi in a daze.
The ground was beaten to pieces by Qijun elites.
It was as if a light curtain opened in front of his eyes. Looking at Shi Lan's eyes with a strong desire for knowledge, Xu Zi realized that he had made the same mistake as others. He had no reason to laugh at the ignorance of Shi Lan, Guo Fangyu and others, because he himself
Compared with others, it’s just fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Since coming to Qijun, he has seldom cared about world affairs. Before he was in the army, his eyes were only limited to a few focuses related to himself. Uncle Jiu was killed by Zhang Jincheng, and Xu Maogong became the Wagang military advisor.
, this kind of news that can be obtained with a little attention was only known to him at the last moment, and it often made him busy. If he had paid more attention to the official residence newspaper, or exchanged more official and private rumors with his colleagues,
Many things will not be handled so passively
There were also Tang Gong Li Yuan, Liu Hongji, yes, and Xiongwuying, and even Ayun who was far away outside the Great Wall. In an instant, Xuzi almost resented his laziness because of frustration and unwillingness to recall, so he almost put these contacts together
People who have passed through it and may continue to interact with him in the future have deliberately forgotten that in fact, these people will meet him one day in the future, and the actions of many people may affect his fate and future.
Thinking of these, Xu Zi's eyes gradually narrowed into a line, sharp as a knife. He almost stretched out his arms to hug the little girl Shi Lan. It was the other party's unintentional words that made him wake up from a dream.
Mountains are still mountains, trees are still trees, but the scenery in your eyes is definitely different.
"If you shouldn't ask, just pretend that I haven't asked, okay?" Shi Lan was startled by Xu Zi's face and eyes that continued to change, and timidly said that the man in front of him had mutated almost instantly.
The body that was almost two heads taller seemed to have grown taller in an instant. The shoulders became wider and the body became stronger.
"It doesn't matter, I remembered something else." Li Xu smiled and replied, "Yu Wenshu is your Majesty's first favorite, the most powerful general in the Sui army, and his title is Xu Guogong. He conquered Liaodong three times.
Former army coach!”
Speaking of the people of the Yuwen family, Xuzi found that his emotions were still a little fluctuating, but not as strong as before. The loss of control of the Xiongwu Camp hit him hard, but then he also learned many things that he must master in life.
Especially after coming to Qi County, being away from the center of the court and those wealthy families made him gain more insights into life and see the battles in the officialdom more clearly.
"You mean, after he was defeated the first two times, your emperor is still willing to use him?" Although he was willing to give advice to Xu Zi, when it came to Yang Guang, Shi Lan still didn't have any respect in his mouth.
Although he knows that the accusations made by others are all true, Xuzi is still not used to someone criticizing Yang Guang in this tone: "Your Majesty is a person who values friendship. Moreover, only the first time was indeed a disastrous defeat. The second time is considered a defeat for the entire division."
retreat!"
"What about the third time? Did you win? Or lose?" Shi Lan's voice had a hint of provocation. He didn't even realize that the exchange between the two had unknowingly deviated from the original topic.
"This time, it's a complete victory!" Li Xu thought for a moment and answered with difficulty. Is this really the case? He didn't dare to look into Shi Lan's eyes, only feeling that they were full of sarcasm and ridicule.
"We lost the first time, and then the emperor was not convinced, so he did it a second time, and then a third time. Fortunately, we won this time, otherwise we don't know how long we would have to fight!" The topic about Liaodong completely exposed Shi Lan.
Wild in his bones, every word comes out from the gap between his teeth, sounding like a poisonous snake spitting out a message.
"As long as we fight the first time, we have to fight His Majesty the second time. It's actually very difficult!" Xu Ziwu straightened his face and explained loudly, "If we don't fight, the surrounding countries may take advantage of the situation to cause chaos, and heroes from all over the world, some
Thieves with ulterior motives will also swarm in!"
"It seems that everyone is causing trouble because the emperor lost the battle!" After all, she was still a little scared. Shi Lan turned her head away again and shouted angrily. She didn't mean to make Li Xu unhappy, but she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart.
If everyone can have a way to survive, who would be willing to cause chaos?
The reason why my father rebelled was because he could no longer support his family with his craftsmanship. Although his goals became more and more ambitious after his rebellion, the reason was not because the emperor failed to conquer Liao.
It turned out that there was such a big gap between the two of us. In an instant, Shi Lan found that there was a mountain between him and Xu Zi. It was high and thick and could never be climbed. Li Xu had completely mistaken the reason. He had no idea that when everyone first picked up the knife,
He doesn't understand the feeling of dying, and he doesn't understand what the struggle before death is at all...
"I know that most people rebelled because they had no food to eat, but what did they bring? It has no effect except making it difficult for more people to live!" Li Xu moved Shi Lan's shoulder and looked into the other person's eyes.
emphasize
"They were all forced not to rebel. They couldn't live at all!" Shi Lan's eyes were immediately filled with tears. She didn't want the person opposite to see how disappointed she was at this moment. She lowered her head, wiped it hard, and then ignored it.
Everything retorted: "But why did so many people rebel, including my father, your master, and your friends?"
The man in front of her fell silent instantly. Shi Lan knew that she had won the argument. She raised her head and wanted to give the loser a smile as comfort, but she saw Li Xu staring at her with fire in his eyes.
Suddenly, she felt very frightened and just wanted to turn around and run away through the door.
Suddenly, he also felt that he was very scared, just like the way Shi Lan looked at him.
He has had two masters before and after, and one friend became an enemy. In the future, he does not want to face Shi Lan again on the battlefield. This little girl is too wild-tempered and too thoughtful. You will never guess what she is thinking. But Xu Zi
He already believed that the person who colluded with Wagangshan was not her, and he did not hope that his original judgment was completely wrong.
"If no one rebels, the emperor will never know that the people need to eat!" Shi Lan looked at Li Xu, her eyes were clear and sad. She knew that what she just said hurt Xu Zi, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that she didn't want to play anymore.
If this continues, the image of the man in front of her will never be forgotten. She struggled hard in the face of the man's breath and caring eyes, but the force on her shoulders was so strong that she couldn't break away at all.
"Let me go, push me away! Please, you can hit me!" Shi Lan shouted in her heart. She suddenly wanted Li Xu to treat her as roughly as his father treated his mother-in-law. She would have ten thousand yuan.
One reason to pick up the hatred in her heart again, and ten thousand reasons to continue to exploit the "hypocrisy" in the man in front of her! However, Asahi did nothing, just held her shoulders firmly.
"Erya!" Finally, she heard his voice falling from mid-air. It was very peaceful, but it was like a gentle thunder that struck the person from head to toe without any strength. "I know you are dying for the death of your father and brother.
Sad, if it were me, I would be just as sad. But they can't do anything like that, they will be killed sooner or later. Even if they don't die in the imperial conquest, they will die in the mountain fire. Forget about this, stay in my home, I'm here.
, you won’t be hurt again!”
"No, no, you're talking nonsense!" Shi Lan understood that what Xu Zi said was true, but refused to accept this explanation that his father could not even manage a family, let alone command thousands of troops to conquer the world for half a year.
, the record of the man in front of him told him that the court did not need to make greater efforts. As long as a famous general like him led troops to conquer, most of the heroes in Henan counties would have no room to resist.
But should his father die? Even if his father's hands are stained with other people's blood, what about his brother, himself, and the brothers who have just joined the gang? They are about to starve to death. Why can't they resist?
After struggling several times to no avail, her strength turned into tears. "In your house, who do I count to you? The girl who bought the first wife, or the wife who was snatched back from Yazhai?"
The hand on her shoulder suddenly loosened, and she knew that she had asked about the key difference in their identities, which made it impossible for him to give her a status. From the day she decided to stay in the Li Mansion, Erya understood the price. At that time, she
Knowing that she doesn't care and now, she doesn't know what she wants?
If he took the opportunity to run away now, he would be unable to save this man. His weakness was too obvious and could be easily caught. Erya knew clearly that her chance to escape from her fate was right in front of her. She took a step forward, but
Forgot to turn around
Taking a step forward, she stepped into Xuzi's arms and tightly held his thick waist with her arms, interlocking her fingers until the joints turned white.
"Silly Erya, after I write to my parents, I can marry you!" Li Xu suddenly recovered from the shock and disappointment, and his arms were filled with tenderness and happiness. He stretched out his hand and touched Shi Erya's cheek.
Head, murmuring a promise
The parents asked whether they should marry the daughter of a bandit? Even if it was to be a concubine temporarily, it would be fine. Anyway, they did not want to marry a real wife for the time being, so there was no need to worry about her being bullied.
When he first accepted her, Xuzi knew that he might not have done it all because he liked her. The reason why he decided to keep her was probably seventy percent desire. But now, he didn't want her to take any more risks or die.
Don't want to
Before he could come up with a proper solution, the body in his arms suddenly stiffened again, and then completely softened, as soft as a bone. "You, don't take it to your heart, I don't care, I really don't care!" Shi Er
Ya raised her head while sobbing, her lips as red as wine
Xuzi lowered his head and drank it.
Shi Erya heard her heart melting. Did she really not care? She didn't know if she could still leave. She didn't know that even if the promise made by the other party at this moment would never be fulfilled, it would still be very touching. If this promise
This is hypocrisy, and she hopes she will never see the day it is revealed.
What if, before the day when the truth is revealed, I have avenged my brother, can I just go with the wind with a promise of happiness?
She responded violently, as wild as fire
