A knife in love

Chapter 2800
Li Chengliang agreed, whispered a few words to Zhang Gui, and then quietly walked to Beishou to select the officers and soldiers who would deliver the letter.

When Zhang Gui and Li Chengliang spoke, their voices were extremely low, even if they hid beside them, they might not be able to hear clearly.It's just that Li Qiufeng has profound internal skills, even though he is almost two or three feet away from the two of them, he can hear what the two of them are saying clearly.When Li Chengliang left, Li Qiufeng only felt chills in his heart, thinking that Zhang Gui was really vicious and cunning, not only used money to lure Darian to lead the barbarians to work for him, but also brought Darian's family to Liaoyang Mansion as a slave. hostage.Once there is any change in Darian, these hostages will be killed.This person has a rough appearance and seems to have no scheming, but in fact he is thoughtful and extremely cunning.No wonder Martial Uncle Liu wanted to recruit Zhang Gui into his sect and listed him as one of his confidantes. This person really has merit.It's just that Zhang Gui's thoughts are too vicious, and he is used to monopolizing power. Uncle Liu has already retired, so I'm afraid he can't be controlled.I see that Zhang Gui and Xu Yingyang are in the same boat, if the Japanese pirates are driven away, a fight is inevitable.Xu Yingyang doesn't care whether he lives or dies, but he has to think of a way to let Miss Murong, Brother Qi, Miss Wang and Jinzhaizhu leave safely, so as not to be murdered by Zhang Gui.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng couldn't help holding the handle of the knife, thinking that although Zhang Gui was fierce, he had never practiced advanced martial arts after all.Speaking of the battle skills of shooting bows and arrows, spears and halberds, I may not be his opponent.But in terms of swords and fists, it is not difficult to capture or kill Zhang Gui.If he had to turn his back on Zhang Gui in the end, even if he offended Mr. Liu, he would have no choice but to kill Zhang Gui.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he could hear the continuous and long breathing of the people around him suddenly become intermittent.He was stunned, knowing that these people had woken up from their sleep, and probably heard Zhang Gui and Li Chengliang talking, he was surprised, and his breathing would stop and go.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng quietly turned his head to peek around, and saw Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu lying on his right, and Qi Jiu and Jin Yulou lying on his left, still asleep.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Miss Wang and Master Jinzhai had never practiced internal skills, and their breathing was heavy, and there had been no change.Miss Murong and Brother Qi's internal strength is not weak, their breathing was originally continuous and long, but now there are some twists and turns.It seemed that Ms. Wang and Master Jinzhai were still asleep, but Ms. Murong and Brother Qi woke up when they heard Zhang Gui and Li Chengliang talking.It's just that the two of them were afraid of being noticed by Zhang Gui, so they pretended that they were still asleep.

Li Qiufeng squinted his eyes and looked around secretly. Although the sky was still dark at this time, he could vaguely see the situation around him.I saw everyone lying on the ground in disorder, snoring one after another, mixed with the sound of waves crashing on the shore from a distance, which made Li Qiufeng feel a sense of melancholy suddenly.

I don't know how long it took, only the sound of footsteps, a figure quietly walked up to Zhang Gui, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the brother who went to deliver a message to Darian has returned. He said that Darian swore that he would definitely Follow the orders of your father, and you will never act rashly."

Li Qiufeng heard that the person who spoke was Li Chengliang, and thought to himself, this person is really impeccable in his work, he sent someone to deliver an order to Darian, but he did not come back immediately to reply to Zhang Gui, until the person who delivered the order returned, he asked clearly Afterwards, this was reported to Zhang Gui.Although I have only known Li Chengliang for a day, I really admire his combat skills and wisdom.One day he will be in charge of the military power in Liaodong, and he may be more appropriate than Zhang Gui in doing things.

After Li Chengliang finished speaking, Zhang Gui pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Da Li'an, this bastard is ambitious, and he has long been disobedient. We must hold him firmly in our hands, so that this bastard will not fall into trouble. , stabbed us from the back. I only regret that I have too few soldiers capable of fighting, otherwise I wouldn't have to rely so heavily on the barbarians."

When Zhang Gui said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Xiao Lizi, you have been with me for many years. It's just that I have made a lot of enemies in the officialdom these years. These bastards never hope that I will be unlucky. Among the seventeen guards under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong General Army, which guards are full? Those thieves in the military department always say that Liaodong is fine and don’t need to spend more money. But the Tartars went south to plunder, The bandits outside the pass did evil, and after the incident happened, they pushed the disaster on me. I can see clearly the thoughts of these filthy villains. They are nothing more than stuck around my neck. It is also enough to eat enough, turning the officers and soldiers of our Liaodong guards into beggar soldiers, which is useless at all. These bastards want to see Lao Tzu's jokes, and finally put the blame for Liaodong's corruption on Lao Tzu, and let the emperor chop Got my head off.

"In these years, I have worked so hard to support the dangerous situation in Liaodong. I have to deal with the Tartars and bandits, and I have to deal with the despicable people in the court. I was driven to Liaodong to cook cold stoves. Although it is not a good job, But after all, you are still a first-rank officer, and your life is not in vain. It is a pity that you are brave and good at fighting. If you are under other generals, even if you can't be a deputy general, it is more than enough to be a general. But under Lao Tzu, It’s not that I don’t want to promote you. Every time I put your name up, those bastards in the Wuxuan Division say that your qualifications are too low, and your military achievements are doubtful. They refuse to agree to promote you. Later, I knew that these bastards were full of bad things, so I recognized you as my confidant, so naturally I refused to promote you to a high position. I have no choice but to wrong you."

When Zhang Gui said this, he sighed, and then continued: "This time, I will take you and your brothers to the south to deal with the Japanese pirates. If I am lucky enough to achieve great success, when I need to go to Beijing, I must make a performance in front of the emperor." Report your military merits. I have been an official for enough, and I don’t want to sing with those bastards in the court anymore. After driving out the Japanese pirates, I will resign from the official position and return to my hometown to spend the rest of my life. It's up to you."

After Zhang Gui finished speaking, Li Chengliang said in a low voice: "Father, why should you be so depressed? The child is willing to serve the father for the rest of his life. If the father resigns from office and goes into seclusion, the child will no longer be in charge of Liaoyang Mansion, so he must be by your side , serving tea and water for you, sweeping the courtyard, absolutely not daring to slack off in the slightest."

When Li Chengliang said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "However, as far as I can see, only my father is in Liaodong, so the Tartars can't go south wantonly. Although the villains in the court are at odds with my father, they just I want to make my father suffer some hardships, if they want to kill my father, they don’t have the ability.”
