The meal of wine and meat at noon had a somewhat different taste. Originally, Liu Ling wanted to gather together the few generals who were good at fighting in the Northern Han Dynasty, but in the end it became Zhou Yangong's farewell banquet. It is inevitable to say that a farewell banquet is inevitable.
It might seem a little unlucky, but several people knew in their hearts that Zhou Yangong's trip to Xixia was probably going to be a disaster.
Zhou Yangong had already decided to leave. He smiled at Liu Ling and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. If I can make Your Majesty pay attention to me, how can I make that party member Wei Mingxiao despise me? If I say, the reason why he can be here
The dominant family in the Western Regions is all thanks to the rewards given to the Li family by the Central Plains countries since the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Hundreds of years of accumulation have led to the powerful national power of Xixia. If the prince were in his position, I am afraid he would have unified the Western Regions long ago.
We even sent troops to the Central Plains."
Liu Ling said: "Don't talk nonsense, Duke Yan. If Li Yuanhao can become the overlord of a party, he must be outstanding. Speaking of this, I remembered that when I was in the south six years ago, I met a party man who went to do business in the Later Zhou Dynasty.
. What a pity, that man has a strong body, good martial arts, and a good knowledge of martial arts. He is really a rare general. I have repeatedly invited him to join my big man as a general, but he always laughs and says that he is not good enough.
He is a businessman, just a profit-seeking villain, and he is really not interested in an official career."
Zhou Yangong was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that among the party members, there is someone who can make the prince fall in love with him. I just don't know his name?"
Liu Ling said: "He calls himself Chen Tiaoxian, but it turns out that is not his real name."
Zhou Yangong said: "He can steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng. This person is also a wonderful person."
Liu Ling said: "If you don't tell me, I would have forgotten that this person invited me to be a guest in Xingqing Mansion when he parted with me. He also said that his family was a famous wealthy gentleman in Xingqing Mansion and had a large house. This man told me about his family
Pang Da is very important in Xingqing Mansion. He once left me his address. Maybe this person can help you after you arrive in Xixia. I will write you a letter later and take it with you. If there is such a person who can help me, please don’t ask for help.
I can get Xixia to send troops to help, I just ask him to keep you safe!"
Zhou Yangong was noncommittal. If Chen Tiaoxian was really a member of a big family in Xingqing Mansion, how could he go to Hou Zhou to do business in the open air? However, the prince said so, and he couldn't refuse. Since Chen Tiaoxian was related to
The prince hit it off instantly and could be considered a half-acquaintance. When I arrived in Xingqing Mansion, I was unfamiliar with the place, so it would be good to have one more person to take care of me.
But neither Liu Ling nor Zhou Yangong would have thought that during Zhou Yangong's trip to Xixia, the person who could save Zhou Yangong's life in the end was not Zhou Yangong's confident tongue, nor the one who had a relationship with Liu Ling.
Businessman Chen Tiaoxian. It is a handwritten letter from a brothel woman in the immortal world of Taiyuan City in the Northern Han Dynasty.
The meal was quite enjoyable, but there was no heavy feeling of sadness at all. Zhou Yangong went here to repay Liu Ling for his kindness. Everyone analyzed it and thought that Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, maintained his identity.
Maybe he really wouldn't do anything to Zhou Yangong. After they had finished drinking and eating, several people left one after another. Liu Ling told them the time of tomorrow's troop call at the school field, and told them not to be late.
Several people knew Liu Ling's temperament well, and knew that in private, Liu Ling was a generous gentleman. If it was about military affairs, anyone who violated military laws would be punished as usual, no matter who it was!
Although Liu Ling also drank a few glasses of wine, it had no effect at all. He asked Luo Chenglin, Minister of the Ministry of War, to mobilize 10,000 troops in the Gyeonggi Camp, 6,000 troops in the Forbidden Army, and 14,000 garrison troops to assemble at the original garrison of the Gyeonggi Camp. In the afternoon
It had to be done, he had to go.
After returning to the study and resting for a while, Liu Ling wrote a letter to Chen Touxian. He was not sure whether the letter would be useful. After all, he only met Chen Touxian once six years ago. Although
The two of them had the same spirit and became sworn brothers. However, Liu Ling knew that men in this era did not take the matter of becoming brothers as a living thing. How could there be so many people who would trust each other with their lives after becoming brothers?
To be honest, Water Margin is a lie.
Even if they are sworn brothers, what does it mean?
In Water Margin, Song Jiang is the eldest brother, and in the end he traps 107 heroes and Shuiling Cabbage. In The Legend of Dragons, Xiao Feng's eldest brother is still the emperor of Liao, and doesn't he force Xiao Feng to death in the end?
Liu Ling wrote this letter just hoping to get a little more help, which is better than nothing.
After writing the letter, Liu Ling took a sip of the hangover tea brought by Liu Mei'er. He asked Liu Mei'er to get some water, and Liu Ling washed his face. He asked Liu Mei'er to prepare his armor, and asked Liu Mei'er to give instructions to the people in the mansion.
The servant also wiped the red lion. Soon Liu Ling was going to the Gyeonggi camp, and he still had to make some preparations.
After washing up, Liu Meier stood behind Liu Ling, combed Liu Ling's hair neatly little by little, and then helped Liu Ling change her clothes. Finally, she helped Liu Ling put on Liu Ling's heavy armor neatly, and put Liu Ling's hair neatly on her hands.
He put on his helmet and slowly helped Liu Ling fasten the straps under the helmet.
"My lord, be careful on the road."
Liu Meier said softly.
Liu Ling stretched out his hand and pinched her face and said: "After I go to the Gyeonggi camp, I have to go to the palace to see if His Majesty wakes up. If His Majesty wakes up, it's time to say goodbye. If he comes back late, you don't have to
wait for me."
Liu Mei'er nodded and said, "Mei'er understands."
Liu Ling laughed, leaned over and kissed Liu Mei'er on the face, then strode out.
Almost all the soldiers in Prince Liu Ling's palace were sent out. General Zhaoxian, who was going to follow Liu Ling to the Gyeonggi camp in the afternoon, specially transferred 500 elite soldiers from the Imperial City's forbidden army to the palace for use. These 500
The elite soldiers were carefully selected from the 12,000 forbidden troops, and each one of them was a master against ten. At this time, the 500 soldiers changed into brand-new armor, blue military uniforms, black iron armor, and
The fiery red cloak behind him stood majestic in the yard.
When Liu Ling came out of the study, no one noticed that there were two more guards behind him wearing white brocade robes, with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread on their cuffs and collars. The two men were of average height and had tall heads.
Wearing the robe of a sixth-grade military attaché, but the clothes are not those of a sixth-grade military attaché.
These two people also covered their faces with black scarves in broad daylight, revealing only a pair of shining eyes. Following Liu Ling, these two people were like Liu Ling's shadow, never leaving.
These two people are the only two gold-clad shadow guards among the shadow guards today, brothers Nie Rendi and Nie Renwang. Although they are said to be gold-clad shadow guards, the bright yellow color is reserved for the royal family. Their costumes are also
It's just a pattern of auspicious clouds outlined in gold thread on the cuffs, chest and collar.
The two brothers Nie Rendi and Nie Renwang were about the same height as Liu Ling, and both had very strong figures. They were dressed in brand-new golden shadow guard costumes, wearing bright red cloaks, black scarves covering their faces, and holding hands.
The waist sword is indescribably majestic. Liu Ling is also very satisfied with these two brothers. As Zhao Da said, although these two brothers have advanced cultivation, they are easier to control because of their desires.
If these two people could not be trusted, Ji Chengyun would not let them join the Shadow Guard.
Even so, Zhao Da still transferred ten masters from Ji Chengyun, who pretended to be Liu Ling's bodyguards and followed Liu Ling closely. Although they do not doubt the people they employ, but for the sake of Liu Ling's safety, Zhao Da
Both Yama and Ji Chengyun had to be more cautious.
After the arrangements were made, Liu Ling waved his hand, climbed onto the red lion horse covered with full armor, took the Nie brothers and ten personal guards, and led five hundred majestic and majestic elite guardsmen out of the gate of the palace and went straight to Gyeonggi University.
Leave the camp.
Although the number of this team is not very large, when the cavalry team passes by on the street, in the eyes of the people, it looks like thousands of troops and horses galloping past. It is really that the people are like dragons and the horses are majestic and magnificent.
.
Passing by on the streets of Taiyuan City, the people were all impressed when they saw it. This team can be regarded as the most elite team in Taiyuan City now. Even if they select 500 cavalry from the Gyeonggi Camp, they may not be able to beat this team in terms of momentum.
Five hundred elite Forbidden Army. If the 500 most elite cavalry of the Forbidden Army were allowed to fight against the 500 most elite cavalry of the Gyeonggi Camp, the balance of victory and defeat would definitely favor the side of the Gyeonggi Camp. But in terms of might and majesty, show off a majestic
With their majestic posture, the men and horses of the Gyeonggi Camp are far inferior to the brothers of the Forbidden Army.
Liu Ling wanted this effect. When he went to the Gyeonggi Camp, he would inevitably have to shock him. These five hundred forbidden troops would just boost his majestic morale.
When the cavalry passed by Yanghe Street, Liu Ling saw many people gathered in front of the donation points. In front of the five donation points, there were several censors who spared no effort in publicity. The posture really used all their strength. However,
Having said that, in the past few days, through the publicity of the imperial censors, more and more people have come to donate. Those censors who were originally angry have gradually developed a sense of pride in their hearts.
Since the fall of Dongfang Lunri, the largest wealthy gentry in Taiyuan City has been talking about the Xie family. Now the head of the Xie family is none other than Xie Wancai, who is known as Xie Dashanren. At this time, Xie Dashanren is commanding the generals of the family.
Cart after cart of grain was unloaded next to the donation point. Five carts of grain were piled up like a hill. After that, four strong servants came up carrying a heavy wooden box. Xie Wancai opened the box with a proud smile.
It turned out to be a box full of copper coins, apparently at least a thousand coins!
Speaking of which, Xie Wancai has some connection with Prince Zhong's palace. Before Minhui entered the palace, she sold herself to bury her parents. Xie Wancai was greedy for Minhui's good looks and planned to buy her into his own palace. However, Liu Meier also fell in love with Minhui. Xie Wancai was there again.
He didn't dare to steal money from Prince Zhong's palace. In order to curry favor with Liu Ling, Xie Wancai paid for the money Minhui sold herself.
It's a pity that Liu Ling never knew about this matter. Xie Dashan, who thought he could take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Prince Zhong's Mansion, was very frustrated. He was annoyed for several days and said that the money was wasted. This time, he also
I don’t know who I heard who said that calling on people to raise donations was the idea of Prince Zhong Liu Ling. Xie Dashan suddenly took the idea.
Since Minhui's matter was stopped by Liu Mei'er last time and was not known to Prince Zhong, and the matter was too small to get Prince Zhong's attention, he would play a big show this time and show it to Prince Zhong.
Look. He deliberately asked people to beat gongs and drums to drive five carts full of food to donate. He deliberately did not use any money, but carried a thousand copper coins to show to the public at the donation point. At this time, countless people were watching.
Xie Dashan's face was filled with joy. He was thinking in his heart, this play is so big, I don't believe it can't reach the ears of Prince Zhong!
Thinking that if he was taken seriously by Prince Zhong in the future, he might be rewarded with a high official position if he pleased, Xie Wancai felt very comfortable in his heart. He hummed a little song and happily watched the government servants at the donation point counting money and food. Suddenly he heard a burst of sound behind him.
There was a noise, and when he looked back, he saw Liu Ling passing by with five hundred menacing imperial troops.
Xie Wancai recognized the words "Prince Zhong" on the flag, and felt very excited!
This donation was just enough for Prince Zhong to see, and things were turning for the better!
Liu Ling looked sideways on his horse and saw the crowds of people in front of the donation point, and he was also happy. He was looking at the lively scene in front of the donation point, and did not pay attention to the Nie brothers who were riding in front of him. Both of them had expressions on their faces at the same time.
Han, a murderous look suddenly appeared in his eyes!
King Nie suddenly turned around on his horse, and he had already pulled out the sharp sword, and stabbed Liu Ling in the throat with incredible speed! (To be continued)
