On the third day after Liu Ling captured Yongzhou, he received a piece of news from a secret agent of the Supervisory Council. The Holy Lady of the White Lotus Sect, Ye Xiuning, Luan Ying, who had been living in Jinzhou, had entered Tokyo in the Great Zhou Dynasty under the protection of dozens of White Lotus sect masters.
Kaifeng. Liu Ling had asked Zhao Da to send people to secretly take care of these two poor women, so Liu Ling would always know about them as soon as possible.
There is always a lingering shadow in Liu Ling's heart about the woman named Luan Ying. That stubborn, arrogant, and cold woman is like a sword and like a song.
Liu Ling was relieved to learn that Luan Ying had gone to Kaifeng. Kaifeng was still peaceful now. At least it was guarded by the Emperor of Zhou's six battalions. No matter what the chaos was like outside, the city of Tokyo was still peaceful.
Singing and dancing brought peace. Kaifeng, Liu Ling smiled, they would still meet sooner or later.
It was September, when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom in Yongzhou City. Liu Ling looked at the chrysanthemums in full bloom in the yard, and suddenly remembered a poem by Huang Chao.
When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, all the flowers will bloom. The fragrance will reach Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor.
This poem was written with emotion when Huang Chao failed to pass the examination. Perhaps he himself did not expect that a few years later, he would lead an army of 600,000 to conquer Chang'an, and the whole city would be covered with golden armor.
Yongzhou still needs to be reorganized, the surrendered troops must be received, ordnance and armor must be replenished, a granary must be opened to provide relief to the people, and the surrender officials of Yongzhou must be met, which is very trivial. I just came back from the granary in the morning, and in the afternoon a large group of officials from Yongzhou came.
Asking for an audience, Liu Ling simply pushed the matter to Cheng Yihou, an all-round veteran general. Without any guards, he quietly slipped out of the back door and ran to the street to relax.
When they arrived on the street, they happened to see Ji Xiu and five hundred generals escorting the carriage team away. The carriages were filled with Xie Jun's family members. They were going to settle in Puzhou. Puzhou, although now
It is also in the hands of the Han army. But the newly appointed Puzhou County Governor Pei Xingzhi is Xie Jun’s uncle and the biological brother of Xie Jun’s wife Pei Liuru. Pei Xingzhi was the Puzhou County Magistrate after the Han army conquered Puzhou.
He was appreciated by Liu Ling and promoted one level to the county governor. Now Xie Jun's family members can rely on him when they go to Puzhou.
It wasn't until the convoy was far away from the city gate that Liu Ling withdrew his gaze. For Xie Jun, it was difficult for Liu Ling to give him a clear position in his heart. Xie Jun was talented and capable, and his personal martial arts skills could be said to be Liu Ling's.
The first military commander he has seen in so many years. Even the cheap brother Wei Mingxiao whom he was sworn to back then may be even worse than Xie Jun in terms of skill. Xie Jun is also ruthless and can even kill.
He was decisive in attacking. However, he was an unpopular person. Perhaps, ultimately, he was defeated at this point. After all, it was not Liu Ling's Han army that defeated his 200,000-strong army in Huazhou.
Rather, they were recruits who were forcibly snatched from the common people.
His defeat was not accidental, but when he finally wrote the letter and handed it to Liu Ling, Liu Ling even wavered in his heart at that moment and wanted to let Xie Jun live. But Liu Ling did not do that because
At the last moment, he discovered that Xie Jun, who had regained his former glory, might only die if he died. However, if the one hundred and twenty loyal tiger guards died, he would never see those hands again.
The epee is so majestic.
There was no purpose. Liu Ling just came out to hide and relax, and simply walked around the streets at will. Yongzhou is an ancient city. The buildings, streets, and shops are all unique. It seems to be very similar to Taiyuan Prefecture.
The difference. Since he led the army to the south, he has not had any leisure time for a long time. Seeing that the streets have returned to their former prosperity in just three days, Liu Ling feels relaxed. What he fears most when raising troops is the impact on the people.
The more wars we fight, the more we understand the suffering of the people.
Seeing that his men and horses did not cause damage to Yongzhou, he was inevitably relieved. Walking leisurely, Liu Lingzai carefully examined the scenery and people of this ancient city. Suddenly he heard a commotion behind him, and when he turned around to look,
But he saw a horse galloping towards him, and the people all gave way. On the street, wherever the horse passed, chickens and dogs jumped.
The horse galloped all the way, knocking over countless hawker stalls. Behind it, a group of Han soldiers guarding the city chased closely, shouting loudly for the man on horseback to stop. Looking at the knight on the horse again,
Liu Ling's eyes widened immediately.
I saw a girl in goose-yellow clothes riding on the tall horse, shouting in panic as she ran: "Get away, get away! This stupid thing is crazy, I can't control it! Someone, come quickly."
, who will save me!"
Seeing the horse running straight towards an old man, Liu Ling didn't have time to think too much. He blocked the horse in front of him and stretched out his hands to protect the old man behind him. The girl in yellow on the horse was pulling the reins randomly while facing him.
Liu Ling shouted: "Get away from that guy in front of me. I don't have any money left. I can't afford to pay for it if it crashes!"
The horse seemed to be frightened, and did not dodge when it saw someone in front of it, and bumped straight into it. Liu Ling stepped aside the moment the horse was about to hit him, and then punched the horse on the neck!
With a bang, the horse running like thunder was knocked to the ground by Liu Ling's punch! The horse whined and fell down. The girl on the horse was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed miserably,
He just closed his eyes and couldn't do anything. Liu Ling stretched out his hand and pulled on the girl's feet. The girl felt like she was flying lightly. She originally thought she would fall to pieces, but she didn't expect it to be smooth and steady.
's fell to the ground.
Liu Ling picked up the girl, but the girl didn't dare to open her eyes for a long time. Liu Ling looked at it, and luckily the horse fell to the ground and didn't hit anyone. Looking at the girl carefully, he saw that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
At the age of 18, Liu Ling's height was only about Liu Ling's chest. She was fair and very cute, with a little baby fat on her neck. Her eyes were closed, but her facial features were delicate, perhaps because she was scared. Her face was rosy and delicate.
She was as beautiful as a porcelain doll. She was thin and stood motionless with her neck curled up, just like a chick that had escaped the protection of its mother's wings...still shivering.
Several guards from the Sixth Office of the Supervisory Yuan emerged from the darkness. Liu Ling signaled them to stabilize the pursuing soldiers first, then frowned and asked the girl: "Who are you and how dare you gallop on the street?
"
Hearing someone talking, the girl opened her eyes a little and took a look. Surprisingly, she found that she didn't fall. She immediately jumped up happily: "Hey! You saved me? It's so powerful. You punched me."
The power is almost as strong as that of my brother. Apart from my brother, I have never seen anyone with such great arm strength!"
Seeing the girl's joyful expression, Liu Ling's frown deepened: "You galloped on your horse and injured many people. Whose daughter are you? Who is your brother?"
The girl suddenly realized something, and jumped and turned around and ran back to help the fallen people up one by one. While holding on, she cried anxiously: "I'm really sorry for hurting you. It's just that I have spent all the money on me and I have no money."
What should I do to treat your injuries? I only knew that my brother was in Yongzhou, so I came to look for him. Now that my brother has not been found, he has caused such a big trouble. Dad knows that he can't scold me to death."
Liu Ling saw that her expression was not fake, and then realized that she was a rich girl who had sneaked out to look for her brother. Seeing that she had no experience in the world, she really didn't know how she got to Yongzhou alive. The only explanation is that this woman
The child must be very lucky. However, looking at the current situation... Liu Ling shook her head and didn't find that she had any good luck.
Suddenly, as if the girl remembered something, she ran back to Liu Ling in a few steps, stretched out a white, clean and beautiful little hand: "Give me money!"
Liu Ling was surprised: "What money should I give you?"
The girl wiped away her tears, turned to look at the twitching horse on the ground and said: "You killed my little Huang, now pay me the compensation. If you pay me the money, I will have the money to take those people to see it."
I'm a doctor. How can I buy medicine for them if I don't have any money? Quickly pay for it. Xiaohuang was a gift from my father for my birthday last year. My father said it is a Western variety and is worth a lot of money. Please give it to me quickly."
Liu Ling's head suddenly got big, why did he meet such a nonsensical little girl?
"I saved your life, and you still want money from me?"
The girl sniffed and said: "What can I do? I will repay your life-saving grace later, but those injured people can't afford to wait. Some of them are bleeding. This is all my fault. I
You must treat their injuries. Aren’t you injured? If you are not injured, just wait and pay me the money first. I will take them to see a doctor and then I will repay you."
There are still tears hanging on her delicate and beautiful little face, and her pitiful look is really hard to bear to refuse. Unless you are a hard-hearted person, no one will embarrass such a delicate and lovely girl. It is unfortunate.
The thing is, it seems that Liu Ling's heart is not very soft.
Liu Ling pointed to the injured people and said: "Take them to treat their injuries first!"
The girl thought Liu Ling was talking to him, so she immediately jumped up and even pulled Liu Ling's sleeve and burst into laughter: "I knew you were a good person!"
When she turned around to look, she found that at some point, a dozen big men wearing strange black robes appeared here, helping the injured people to a medicine shop not far away. The officers and soldiers guarding the city
After being stopped by the inspection guard who showed his identity, they helped the vendors pack their things and retreated. There were many people and things were easy to do, and order was restored on the street in a short time.
Liu Ling looked at the girl and said: "I have sent people to treat their injuries. Now tell me your name, the name of the elders in the family, where you are from, and I will take you to see the official."
When the girl heard that she was going to see the official, she suddenly became depressed. Suddenly she remembered something and immediately became happy again: "Okay, okay, take me to see the official quickly. My brother is a high official. I met him."
I’ll give you the money back! My name is Hua Duo, and my brother’s name is Hua Ling. They are very big officials! By the way, what’s your name?”
