Mr. Yangui

Chapter 120 Chapter [-] Bandits Rampant
Xuanpingfang, Li Wuchang's secret base.

Li Wuchang took out the black iron and the four ginseng, said: "My father is supporting me for now, it should be fine now, but I guess my eldest lady will not give up so easily, I will find a way to deal with it."

After a pause, he continued: "Brother Xun finds a time and hires a good blacksmith with a lot of money to make the sword. Ming Lun will accompany me to the Qi Palace tomorrow. Although I know you don't like the Lu family, but After all, the king of Qi has the merit of recommending these things to get them this time, superficial thanks are still necessary, don’t let people find faults.”

Jiang Minglun nodded, and said: "I just don't like Lu Yuanfeng, and I have no grudges with King Qi, don't worry."

Zhao Xun also said: "Then I'll go make weapons... Leng Shao, my master is quite good at observing people, and I have also learned a few sharp axes. I observed your eldest lady a little today, it's not because of me Xin, I think she is the kind of character who is kind on the surface but extremely vicious in her heart, you must be careful."

Li Wuchang nodded and said: "I know this well... You should also be prepared. When I inquired about the news from my uncle today, I found that the imperial guards had already intervened in the robbery of grain and grass in the Hejian area. There will be a big move, a group of officers may be recruited to go to Jizhou, and the eyes will be on the noble children with strong martial arts."

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun frowned.

Is there any relationship between the noble children and them?

Li Wuchang continued: "We will also recruit a group of young people with high martial arts skills to go to various places to suppress bandits. Last time you declined the imperial court's invitation, you rejected it in my name. Now the imperial court's situation is critical, and you have the ability. The imperial court may give me an appointment to suppress the bandits, and you will follow when the time comes."

When the imperial court recruits young talents, it is generally not allowed to refuse.

The reason why Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were able to push back last time was because they both belonged to Li Wuchang as followers, so the court did not force them.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun suddenly realized.

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "I heard that bandits are rampant all over Yongzhou recently. They rob houses, kill people and set fires. They do all kinds of evil. If you can go to suppress bandits, it's a good job. Why don't you care about it?"

Li Wuchang sighed: "It's not so easy to suppress the bandits. You have heard of Xue Shanglin's tragic situation in the past few months. The bandit suppression brigade is full of people with high martial arts skills, and there are countless casualties."

After a pause, he continued: "The gangsters today are no longer the ordinary people who couldn't get enough to eat last winter. Now there are gangsters, spies from Khitan and Korea, and some lawless forces mixed in, trying to fish in troubled waters and suppress bandits. It can be said that it is not much easier than the Jizhou battlefield."

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were silent.

Indeed, in the past few months, Xue Shanglin, the governor of Yongzhou, has been devastated by the bandits, and thousands of soldiers have died.

Zhao Xun smiled freely and said: "Ming Lun is right, you don't have to worry about Leng Shao at all, what should come will always come, a man is in the world, if he can do some great things, it will be worthwhile in this life."

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "It's best if you can think this way...Okay, I'll go back first, and I will answer my father later, I took these things away."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the box of black iron and ginseng, looked at it, and said: "Keep one just in case, the other three, one for King Qi, one for my uncle's birthday, and the other for me Father."

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "Sir Leng, you can give the three good ones as gifts. Gifts are treated equally, and we can almost keep the one for ourselves. Anyway, the three of us are young people, so I don't think they will be needed."

The trophy has four old ginseng, three of which are tribute level, and the other one is slightly worse.

Li Wuchang nodded, and put down the old ginseng that was slightly worse.

……

In the time of You, the study of the East Courtyard of the Li Mansion.

Li Wuchang handed three boxes and explained to Li Lingwu: "Father, here are two old ginseng and 1 taels of silver notes, one of which is for you, and the other old ginseng and 1 taels of silver notes are for you." Uncle Ji congratulates me on my birthday, please pass it on for me, Uncle Ji is probably not happy to see me."

Li Ji attaches great importance to the difference between concubine and concubine, and most of the concubines of the Li family are indifferent, even Li Qing can't get into his eyes, just because Li Qing was born by a maid, let alone Li Wuchang .

Li Lingwu opened the box, observed the old ginseng, and said with a smile, "This is a tribute-level old ginseng, from Martial Arts Pavilion?"

Li Wuchang nodded: "My friend Jiang Minglun and I teamed up and broke into the material room."

Li Hu on the side also looked at the old ginseng, was amazed, and asked curiously: "Your elder brother got a good sword and a good sword manual, tell me, what did you get? I heard your elder brother say , you helped that Jiang Minglun get a good knife?"

Li Wuchang said: "Yes, it is said that it was Sun Chihu's saber back then, I took a look at it, and it is indeed not bad, it is made of ancient black iron, according to the master guard of the pavilion, it can be ranked in the top fifteen of the magic weapon list. "

As soon as these words came out, Li Lingwu and Li Hu were moved at the same time.

Sun Chihu was a peerless bandit in the Dongting Lake area more than 80 years ago. Later, he turned his back on the dark and turned to the bright, and dedicated the precious sword to the imperial court. For so many years, no one has been able to get it, and it unexpectedly fell into Jiang Minglun's hands.

This knife is no small matter, it is more than enough to rank in the top fifteen of the magic weapon list.

Li Hu smiled and said: "It's not easy for you, tell me how you passed the test."

Li Wuchang shrugged and said: "Father and Uncle Hu probably heard that the test in the arsenal of the Martial Arts Pavilion this time is to pass the mechanism first, and then hold a hundred moves in front of the masters who guard the pavilion."

Li Lingwu and Li Hu nodded.

Li Wuchang said: "I found out the way to break the trap, so I met the master guard of the pavilion without much effort. I asked him if he had a more gentle way to pass the level, and he gave me two so-called difficult arithmetic problems. He challenged Jiang Minglun and asked me to calculate it before Jiang Minglun fell, but he didn't expect that I was a businessman, and I could solve the arithmetic problem in three or two strokes, and they had only passed less than twenty strokes at that time."

After a pause, he continued: "Afterwards, he asked us to choose weapons. There were more than 1000 knives in the entire arsenal. Jiang Minglun and I didn't know much about knives. I gave 1000 taels to the master guard, and asked him to give some tips. It really gave me a hint, so we picked the best thing in that arsenal."

Li Wuchang finished speaking in one breath, which made Li Lingwu and Li Hu dumbfounded.

that's it?
This got Sun Chihu's knife?

This is too simple.

Seeing their doubts, Li Wuchang explained: "There are thirty people in our group, except for me, all of them are martial arts experts. Although I don't have any martial arts skills, I am good at arithmetic, and I brought a bank note. It is my advantage, the combination of Jiang Minglun and I are both civil and military, plus a certain amount of luck, it is not unusual to get this knife."

After finishing speaking, I thought to myself, what's all the fuss about.

Li Lingwu coughed lightly and said, "Did you get any good things?"

Li Wuchang said: "In addition to Jiang Minglun's knife, I got a piece of thousand-year-old black iron in the material room. It is considered a good thing. I gave it to Zhao Xun. He is practicing cold-type kung fu. He forges a sword with it. Should be good."

"What did you say? Millennium cold iron?" Li Hu said loudly, looking excited.

Li Lingwu also looked at Li Wuchang with doubts in his eyes.

"Uncle Hu, you scared me. It's millennium cold iron. Why are you so excited?" Li Wuchang was a little strange. Although millennium cold iron is a very rare material, Li Hu is also used to people in the world, so he shouted Xiao Ming really lost his identity.

"No? You just gave it away like that?" Li Hu was a little incoherent.

Don't blame him for shouting, because there are really very few thousand-year-old cold iron. The Lin family's Blue Lotus Sword and the Liu family's Qingshuang Sword are both made of thousand-year-old cold iron.

Unexpectedly, Li Wuchang sent it out without saying a word.

"Oh, it's like this. Zhao Xun asked me to go to the Martial Arts Pavilion to help him keep an eye out to see if there is such a material. Jiang Minglun and I went to the material room to break through the mechanism. When we passed the fourth level, we got The prize is the cold iron, we gave it to Zhao Xun when we brought it back, this is considered entrusted by others." Li Wuchang explained.

Li Lingwu was shocked in his heart, feeling not only Li Wuchang's luck, but also Li Wuchang's generosity.

This kid is really nice to his friends.

Li Wuchang finished his business, coughed lightly, and said: "Father, I have brought the things with me, and I have finished talking, so I will stop eating. I want to go back to my yard to see the nanny. She was given by that Zhang Tong yesterday. I pushed it, hurt my head, and now I feel very uncomfortable."

Then he muttered: "That Zhang Tong, it's best not to let me see him again, or I won't beat him to death."

After finishing speaking, he quickly glanced at Li Lingwu's expression.

If you want to turn against Zhang, you have to look at Li Lingwu's attitude.

Seeing Li Wuchang's expression, Li Lingwu secretly smiled in his heart. His son is very good at observing words and expressions, and he knows how to read his own face the most. He often uses various small methods to test his attitude.

Thinking of this, he said lightly: "That Zhang Tong, I asked your aunt to send him to the Zhuangzi, so you can save your energy and don't embarrass him."

Li Wuchang secretly sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's it, that's the best. I'm a gentleman, and if I can't do it, I won't do it. If it comes to the point where I have to do it, I will definitely not be ambiguous. Today is that guy." Fortunately, the second brother came to save his dog's life."

Li Lingwu heard the words and said seriously: "I have already greeted my family members. From now on, no one will trouble you, nor will they attack your restaurants and clothes shops. You can live in peace of mind... In addition, the brutal Don't be so angry, you will beat and kill at every turn."

Li Wuchang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't want to either, father, unfortunately something always comes to my door."

Then he changed the subject and asked, "Father, Uncle Zhongyue and I had a few gossips today. I heard that the imperial court will send noble children to Jizhou or Yongzhou to suppress bandits. Is that true?"

Li Lingwu said: "Don't ask around if you have nothing to do, these have nothing to do with you... Get back."

Li Wuchang let out an oh, bowed and retreated.

Looking at Li Wuchang's back, Li Hu said with a smile: "This boy will still care about the important affairs of the court. I think he is afraid that the court will force his two helpers to join the army. This boy, now he can be so stubborn, his two His assistants are indispensable, but after all, his two assistants are really first-class talents."

Li Lingwu didn't answer, but sighed, and said: "The disaster of bandits must be cut quickly, otherwise it will definitely affect the foundation of Dayan."

Li Hu frowned and said, "Is it so serious?"

Li Lingwu didn't speak, and thought of the ups and downs of the past dynasties, which were often caused by seemingly small things.

The disaster of bandits in Dayan started last winter when Dayan was suffering from foreign aggression. The bandit incident seemed to be a trivial matter, but it became more and more serious and was exploited by various forces. Up to now, Yongzhou and Jizhou The bandit forces in the country are rampant, and they even dare to attack the idea of ​​​​military supplies, and now they are short of occupying land and becoming kings.

The bandits are so rampant, it must be heavy handed.
