Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 88
...

After walking around for a long time, Tang Long came to the door of Li Si's house, knocked on the door and was taken in by Li Si to meet Li Yan.

As soon as he saw Li Yan, Tang Long couldn't wait to say: "Brother, there is a big business now. I can't make up my mind, so I ask my brother to make the decision." Then Tang Long detailed what he had talked with Liang Yanei Talk to Li Yan.

After listening, Li Yan asked: "What do you think?"

Tang Longdao: "Ling Zhen said that these soldiers were privately made by Liang Yameni when he served as the envoy of Jiazhanku, and they were not registered. Now that Liang Yanei is going to follow Liang Shicheng to take office, he can no longer serve as the envoy of Jiazhanku. Naturally, he doesn't want to Pass these benefits to successors."

Li Yan thought for a while, and said: "Since he is the son of Liang Shicheng's mothfly, why would he be a small envoy?"

Tang Long explained: "Brother doesn't know something, maybe it's because he can't have children. Liang Shicheng actually has thirty or twenty sons of mollusks. The Liang Ya Nei I saw looks like a pig. I don't know if Liang Shicheng likes it. job."

Li Yan asked: "So, you want to make this deal with Liang Yanei?"

Tang Long bowed to the ground and said: "Brother took Tang Long with him, Tang Long has nothing to repay, and he is willing to bet his life on the development of our Liangshanbo!"

Li Yan said: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Tang Long said: "If our Liang Shanbo can get these soldiers from Liang Ya Nei, our strength will definitely be improved to a higher level. However, this deal in Liang Ya Nei is not safe after all. I am afraid that it will be bombed. I am willing to trade with him alone, and everything will be done. If I come forward to Gu Qian, if this matter succeeds, it will all depend on my brother's luck, if it fails, Tang Long will not let him catch the living Tang Long!"

Li Yan looked at Tang Long, and said in his heart: "This man is so utilitarian that he is willing to risk his life to gamble!"—Tang Long's words sound nice, and this matter is all due to Li Yan's luck Okay, but the fact is by no means like this. Once this matter is really done by Tang Long, then Tang Long has made a great contribution. By then, Tang Long's status in Shuibo Liangshan will never be low. If Li Yan's Shuibo Liangshan also engages in Tiangang Disha, and with Tang Long's skills, a Tiangang position is indispensable.But then again, once this matter is defeated, Tang Long, who fought this matter with his shoulders, will definitely not end well.

This is not a conspiracy, but an upright effort, a life-threatening effort!

Li Yan likes people who dare to risk their lives to fight for the future, and thinks that such a person should be successful, so Li Yan helped Tang Long up, and said: "Brother, don't worry about this matter. If it succeeds, I will remember the brother's first contribution. If you are defeated, even if you rob the law field, you will still save your brother, um...it is not safe to leave this matter to outsiders, so you can go and pay the deposit in a while, and ask Liang Yanei to give us some guidance first, and then I will let you People go back and get a battalion of sailors to cooperate with you... By the way, didn’t Liang Yanei say that he still has good horses, and we want them too, as many as he has.”

Hearing Li Yan say that even if this matter fails, he will save him. Tang Long made up his mind and said, "Ling Zhen said that Liang Shicheng's other son is the chief supervisor of the Tiansi Supervisor at Moutuogang outside the city. Ten thousand horses, I dare not say more, but they should be able to get three to five hundred horses."

"Mutuogang Tiansi Supervisor? Why is this name so familiar?"

After thinking for a while, Li Yan remembered where the Moutuogang Tiansi Prison was.

Before the shame of Jingkang, Guo Yaoshi, who was a disaster and blessing for the Three Kingdoms as a minister, once played in Moutuogang. In shame, Guo Yaoshi used Jin Wushu to get [-] good horses in Moutuogang, otherwise, Jin might not be able to break Tokyo Bianliang.

Li Yan thought: "Instead of leaving these horses to Jin Wushu, it's better to make me cheaper."

Thinking of this, Li Yan said to Tang Long: "Go and tell the Liang yamen that we want a thousand good horses and give them all at market price."

Tang Long hesitated, and said: "The tens of thousands of soldiers and one thousand good horses will get a lot of money..."

Li Yan sighed secretly, and said, "You wait."

After speaking, Li Yan turned around and entered the inner room.

The door of the room was not closed, Li Yanchong said to Li Shishi who was reading a book: "Nan'er, can you go in, brother?"

Li Shishi put down the book and said, "Why is brother so polite?"

Li Yan looked around, but did not see Chen Liqing, and asked, "Where's the girl?"

Li Shishi said: "Go to practice sword."

Li Yan didn't ask Chen Liqing again, but said: "Nan'er, I have something to discuss with you."

Li Shishi smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Yan was a little embarrassed!

Even counting his previous life, Li Yan never spent money from a woman.

What's more, Li Shishi's money is not easy to earn...

To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, Li Yan didn't want to spend Shishi Li's money.

But rationality told Li Yan that now is not the time to care about it. If he doesn't spend Li Shishi's money, he can't even get the money to buy soldiers and horses. How can we talk about development?
Therefore, in the end Li Yan still bit the bullet and said: "Nan'er, can you borrow your money and silver as an envoy?"

Li Shishi said with a smile: "Didn't I give them all to my brother?"

Li Yan felt uncomfortable and said, "How about I write you an IOU?"

Li Shishi smiled sweetly and said: "Why is brother so pedantic today, what use is a piece of paper to you and me?"

Li Yan thought so too, the IOUs written by a bandit leader are almost like waste paper.

Li Yandao: "In the future when you get married, I will prepare a generous dowry for you!"

Master Li said leisurely: "Let's talk about it later!"

Li Yan understood that Li Shishi had no confidence in her own marriage!
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Or else I..."

At this moment, Chen Liqing came back holding a food box with her sword in hand.

Seeing this, Li Yan changed his mind and said: "I'll go to work first, and I'll talk to you next time."

After speaking, Li Yan left.

When he and Chen Liqing crossed paths, Li Yan said: "You can practice swords, but you are not allowed to go out of this courtyard."

Chen Liqing said casually: "Got it." Then she walked towards Li Shishi with a smile, and said: "I asked Zhang San to buy some pastries, and my sister will eat some."

Li Yan shook his head, then walked away.

Li Shishi looked at Li Yan's leaving back and said, "Okay."

Chen Liqing opened the pastry box and said, "It's my sister's favorite Gui Yunxuan's lotus lamb. I asked Zhang San to buy it."

Li Shishi thanked: "Thank you sister, my sister has a heart."

Chen Liqing said: "Why are you being polite to me, sooner or later we will be a family."

"A family?" Li Shishi was puzzled.

Chen Liqing quickly covered her mouth!

After thinking for a while, Chen Liqing slowly took her hand from her mouth again, and said: "It's not what I said, it was what Zhang San and the others said that I accidentally overheard... They said that Li Yan will have to take you as a concubine sooner or later, When you are here, we are already a family."
