Chapter 15 Soldiers and Horses as Gifts to Young Master
Not long after Xiang Nan returned to Taiyuan Prefecture, he heard the news of the turmoil in Guangzhou Prefecture, and he sighed lightly.
The expected thing happened.
He was not worried that Mrs. Wu could not solve the problem. That woman was domineering but smart and tenacious, but she was just about to suffer a serious blow to her vitality.
Either bowing to the noble family and being entangled or restrained, or not bowing to respond with violence, which destroys the image of kindness that has been painstakingly created, causing the people to be fearful and distracted.
To restore today's prosperity will require greater efforts, manpower and material resources than before.
These are troubled times, and there are not so many things that have the best of both worlds.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu had one hand grasped the evidence of treason of the leading aristocratic family, and the other hand received an imperial decree from the emperor to order Huainan Taoist Master to use violence to control violence and start a killing spree.
This woman is reckless and lucky, and she does the impossible.
Xiang Nan was silent again, these were troubled times and anything could happen.
Mrs. Wu, a woman, could only act ruthlessly, so she attacked Anton, in order to divert the aftermath of the turmoil in Guangzhou Palace, and to prove her ability to the emperor.
Anton is backed by the army of Ankang Mountain. If it can be captured, it will certainly be a great achievement, but this move is really dangerous. After a long journey from Gwangju Prefecture to Anton, the troops and horses are exhausted and lack of food and food.
The situation near Anton is also very chaotic, mixed with rebel deserters and bandits from the Guards, making it look like a quagmire...
If the soldiers and horses of Gwangju Prefecture are helpless, they may fall into a quagmire and be unable to escape.
Xiang Nan got on his horse and said, "Let's go quickly."
Chen Er took his reins and said, "Maybe soldiers and horses from Taiyuan Prefecture will accompany you?"
Xiang Nan just went to Taiyuan Mansion to recruit troops, but there was no general following him.
Xiang Nan looked back and said, "They said that the imperial court has ordered to be stationed in the area and cannot be mobilized at will. If you want to send troops, you must first ask for your Majesty's instructions."
Chen Er is a small soldier who doesn't understand anything, but he also understands what it means: "They are not willing to send troops!"
By the time the imperial court came down, the fight on Anton's side had already been completed.
Xiang Nan shook his head: "No."
Chen Er stared at him.
Xiang Nan smiled: "They don't dare."
Chen Er rolled his eyes because he was still naughty after all this time.
Xiang Nan swirled the riding whip in the air: "Let's go."
They didn't dare, but he dared. Chen Er shouted: "We only have a few hundred people, are we going to die?"
Although he said this, Chen Er had already jumped on his horse to catch up.
"It's just a death." Xiang Nan said, the cold wind blowing his cloak like a flag.
Then Mrs. Wu, a woman, dared to live towards death, so why wouldn't he dare?
I saw more than 300 soldiers and horses galloping, and there were no more people on the streets of the city. People were prying behind the doors and windows.
But when I came outside the city gate, I saw a crowd surging around a carriage. In winter, the carriage painted with white cloud patterns seemed to come from the sky.
"Sir." The woman with a cloak and a face as delicate as a flower lifted the curtain and stepped out of the car, blocking the road.
After Xiang Nan came back, he saw and heard the praise of Li Mingqi from the Taiyuan Mansion. The eldest lady from Jiannan Road took care of the Xiang clan and supported the Taiyuan Mansion, becoming a sea-fixing needle in Taiyuan Mansion.
Although all of this relies on the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road, for a little girl, her willingness to do things and her courage to do things is already worthy of praise.
Xiang Nan had no reason to treat her coldly.
"Are you going to stop me?" he asked angrily.
Li Mingqi smiled: "I stopped my father and grandfather."
Xiang Nan was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Thank you very much."
Li Mingqi said: "Master, you have too few people. Please let the soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road help you."
Xiang Nan saw a loyal and honest man standing next to the car and leaning forward to salute.
Before he could speak, a voice came from the crowd.
"Jiang Hui, there is an order from the court that the guards are not allowed to leave without authorization." Li Fengjing came galloping with his men.
Li Mingqi had anger in his eyes, but his expression remained calm: "Fourth uncle, these are the soldiers and horses Mingyu sent to protect me."
If we insist on talking about it this way, the soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road cannot come to Taiyuan Mansion at all.
Li Fengjing said: "So these are the guards to protect the safety of the eldest lady. How can they be mobilized at will?" He bowed his hands and saluted Xiang Nan, "Uncle, you have to lead your troops to Anton to fight the rebels. This is too dangerous. Anton belongs to the capital.
, Not to mention how dangerous it is for you to go here, it will be a big disaster if you attract the rebels to Taiyuan Mansion."
As soon as this statement came out, the people around him were in an uproar.
Everyone knew that the troops in Taiyuan Prefecture were suddenly tense, but they actually didn't know what happened. They were hiding everywhere, but they all came out when they saw the car of the eldest lady of the Li family.
Miss Li is the safest guarantee in Taiyuan Mansion. Everyone is willing to stay with her. Now a new Zhuangzi has gathered outside the Zhuangzi where Miss Li lives.
Xiang Nan looked at Li Fengjing and smiled: "Fourth Uncle, if the rebels are unjust, there will be no real peace in the world. The rebels cannot be attracted by anyone, but they will come sooner or later."
After saying that, he patted his horse and drove forward.
Chen Er led 300 soldiers and horses and roared past them.
"Young Master." Li Mingqi shouted, how could he catch up with the horse's hooves? She stopped and looked at Li Fengjing bitterly, and said sternly, "Fourth uncle, will the eldest lady watch her husband fighting alone and ignore him? If something happens to Mr. Xiang, you
How do you want the eldest lady to get along with herself? How do you want the Li family and the Xiang family to get along with each other?"
Finally he gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Are you trying to ruin the reputation of the eldest lady and the Li family?"
Li Fengjing looked at her, calm and calm: "I have said that the soldiers and horses are to protect the eldest lady. The important place is where the eldest lady is. These soldiers and horses protect the eldest lady and Taiyuan Mansion.
If my uncle stays in Taiyuan Mansion, the soldiers and horses will naturally be at his disposal. He wants to go to other places to fight. Our Jiannan Road soldiers and horses cannot go with him. All the soldiers and horses will leave with him. What if something happens to Taiyuan Mansion, Miss?
Where are you? The Xiang family and the Li family get along like this?"
He asked Li Mingqi's question back to her, then gritted his teeth and whispered.
"You are ruining the eldest lady's reputation. Don't think that I don't know. You can only make Mr. Xiang remember your reputation, but Taiyuan Mansion will not remember it."
What kind of righteousness can you show him with this little daughter's tricks?
He wanted to leave his troops and horses in Taiyuan Mansion, so that the people of Taiyuan Mansion would remember the eldest lady's righteousness, which would be the greatest use for the eldest lady's return.
Li Mingqi was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth and shouted for someone to come.
Li Fengjing pointed at the people around him and shouted loudly: "The situation in Anton is critical, aren't the people of Taiyuan Prefecture in danger? Why don't the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Prefecture refuse to go? There are countless living lives here."
The people suddenly shouted: "Please protect me, Miss!"
Some people were crying, some were shouting, and some were kneeling. It was a chaotic mess.
Li Mingqi's face turned pale with anger. The girl Nian'er had never seen such a scene before and she was afraid to say anything.
"I will live and die with Taiyuan Mansion." Li Mingqi stretched out her hand and shouted to the people around her. Then she looked at Jiang Hui and gritted his teeth, "Go quickly!"
In response, Jiang Hui turned around and ran away. In the distance, there was the sound of horse hooves vibrating, like rolling thunder, drowning out the shouts of the people.
Those were tens of thousands of Jiannan Dao troops stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture.
It is a thick city wall barrier for their Taiyuan Prefecture.
Now the wall is gone.
The people stopped crying and stared blankly at the dark cloud-like soldiers and horses rolling away.
"You don't have to be afraid. I, Li Minglou, will live and die with you all. No rebels dare to invade." Li Mingqi's voice continued to shout.
One of the people turned around and looked at the fairy chariot, the fairy-like woman, and the mighty guards beside the woman.
"No way." He shouted, "You will not die with us. When you die, there will be soldiers and horses to protect you and guards to save you, but we will have nothing!"
Li Mingqi was startled by the shouting. This was the first time she had been treated like this in so long since she had been in Taiyuan Mansion.
Other people also shouted.
"Let's go quickly."
"Everyone, please find another safe place."
It dispersed like a tide, and in the blink of an eye only Li Mingqi and the others were left here.
Li Mingqi was angry, ashamed and annoyed. Her face turned pale and red, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Li Fengjing fiercely: "Fourth uncle, are you satisfied with ruining the reputation of the eldest lady?"
Li Fengjing said lightly: "What is the reputation of the eldest lady? The reputation of only seeking credit for her husband and not caring about the life and death of others?"
Li Mingqi shook her sleeves fiercely and took a deep breath: "It doesn't matter. When Mr. Xiang returns victorious and leads the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road, these people will naturally be impressed by the reputation of the eldest lady."
Li Fengjing said: "Well, yes, those are the eldest lady's soldiers and horses. That is the eldest lady's reputation. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Without the soldiers and horses, there is nothing."
Li Mingqi snorted and waved her sleeves to get in the car. Nian'er forgot to wave her sleeves at Li Fengjing and followed in a hurry.
The carriages and horses galloped away surrounded by escorts. They were still gorgeous, but I don't know if it was because of the lack of people following and cheering, and they looked a little lonely.
Li Fengjing stood there and snorted. Although he could not retain the soldiers and horses in Jiannan Road, Li Mingqi's reputation was ruined, and the sullenness that had accumulated for many days finally came out.
The biting cold wind made him feel comfortable but also made him shiver.
He was the only one left in front of the city gate.
"This stinky girl is really ruthless. She will give her away as soon as the soldiers and horses tell her to give her away." Li Fengjing said bitterly, "You really don't feel bad for betraying your father's land."
The attendant asked from the side: "Four Masters, are we still going back to the military camp?"
Li Fengjing frowned and said: "What kind of military camp are we going back to? All the soldiers and horses are gone, how dangerous it is." He got on his horse and looked at the direction Li Mingqi left, "We are moving up to Zhuangzi to live in. We are all members of the Li family. The guards can't just protect us."
