Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 157 Chapter 161: Xizhou Shepherd

Lu Yun led Peng Hai and dozens of You Xiaowei through the narrow corner with torches, and came to Li Hao. Everyone stood there to welcome them. Li Hao stood at the front. For the rest of his life, Li Hao stood there in a daze, maybe even he himself didn't expect that he could really get out of trouble this time.

When Peng Hai saw Li Hao, he was very excited inside, he stepped forward and bowed down: "The rescue of the lowly position is late, which surprised the adults, the lowly position is guilty."

Li Hao stepped forward to help him up, and said with great emotion: "General Peng, I was able to escape this time because you came to rescue me in time, thank you."

Peng Hai excitedly said: "This is the duty of a humble job, I dare not say thank you."

Li Hao patted him on the shoulder vigorously, his heart was so excited that he was speechless for a moment. The feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe was really good, as if he had been reborn once again. Between men and men, there is no need for too much hypocrisy. Without saying a word.

At this moment, a shout came from above: "General Peng, Lord Inspector, all the 27 archers above have been executed, and none of them escaped."

Immediately afterwards, a horse came from the rear to report: "General Peng, Lord Inspector, all the fleeing horse thieves have been killed, and no one has escaped."

"Horse thief?" Li Hao sneered when he heard the words, "What kind of horse thief dares to run wild so close to Xizhou, and specializes in robbing and killing imperial officials, it is clearly Gaochang's army."

Lu Yun also nodded and said: "Young master is very true. If it weren't for the proximity of Xizhou, they would have sent more people here."

Li Hao looked back at the injuries of the injured, frowned and said: "Everyone is seriously injured, Peng Hai, call the military doctor to treat them first, and then go back."

"Yes." Peng Hai led the order to call three accompanying military doctors, and then set up a medical tent to treat the injured. Li Hao also helped out. Although it was in the wild, the medicines he brought were sufficient, enough for five or six days. People used it.

Healed the wounded properly, Li Hao ordered to go back to the city, and went to the camp outside the city. The three daughters were already in a panic in the camp. When they saw Li Hao coming back, they rushed into Li Hao's arms and cried. Qin Su cried It was the worst, the whole person was crying and convulsing, Li Hao managed to calm her down.

After a long period of noise, the camp finally became quiet. It was time to go back to rest. Li Hao stood outside the tent looking at the bright moon in a daze. Moon, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Li Hao suddenly said leisurely: "Lu Yun, thank you very much this time."

Lu Yun said lightly: "I put you in danger, even if I risk my life, I will protect you."

Li Hao was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, but I'm actually afraid of death."

"I know." Lu Yun said leisurely, "I have been with you for so many years, I am very clear about your temperament."

Li Hao laughed at himself, and thought to himself: "The protagonists in the time travel book are all brave and brave, and have a great sense of integrity. Why do I have such a fear of death when I come here, even though I have dreamed of fighting?" The sword goes to the end of the world, but I am still afraid of death... Sigh, in fact, people who have crossed over from the peaceful age have lived a comfortable life, so who is not afraid of death? Those protagonists who are not afraid of death can only appear in novels... ..."

At this moment, Lu Yun suddenly said leisurely: "On the way back, I thought about it for a long time, why don't you go back to Chang'an."

Li Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, turned his head to look at him, his expression changed several times, and then he smiled wryly: "We are almost in Tingzhou, now you want me to go back, can I go back?"

Lu Yun said calmly: "You only need to pretend to be sick in Xizhou. If you have a serious illness that can't be cured if you don't return to Chang'an, the emperor should not make things difficult for you."

Li Hao was shocked again when he heard the words. Thinking about it carefully, this trick might really work. He was suddenly shocked by Lu Yun's IQ. He didn't expect this guy to be so smart. Why didn't he think of such a good trick, but he was still a little puzzled , asked: "Your senior sister's revenge...will you not take revenge?"

"Of course I have to report it." Lu Yun looked into the distance and said coldly, "However, I will personally remove Cao Tian's head and bring it to Youlan's grave to worship. If I miss, then I will go down to accompany her. very nice."

"Ah bah!" Li Hao spat immediately upon hearing the words, staring and shouting, "Want to die? You are so naive, let me tell you, you have sold more than 100 catties of meat to me, and you are mine. Know me, my nickname is Li Paipi, I can scrape two taels of meat off the legs of flies, do you want to be free if you don’t squeeze out your remaining value? It’s a good idea, I tell you, you have to take good care of me for the rest of your life Work hard, as long as I don't die, you are not allowed to die, even if you are old and have lost all your teeth, you still have to work hard for me! Revenge... I will take care of it for you." After he finished speaking, he turned around and got into the tent of teeth In the middle, the moment the curtain was lifted, he muttered, "Did I be bewitched just now..."

Lu Yun has been watching him silently, watching him get into the account. Until this moment, he realized that Li Hao is actually...worth following him all his life.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Hao dressed neatly, brought Lu Yun, Li Yuanzhong and more than [-] parts to the governor's mansion to ask Cao Qing, the governor of Xizhou. After receiving the invitation, Cao Qing went out to greet him personally. In the living room, the two parties sat down separately, and Li Yuanzhong and Lu Yun stood behind Li Hao.

As soon as he was seated, Cao Qing asked: "Master Li, yesterday I held a meager banquet at the Xizhou restaurant, and I planned to welcome Mr. Li with the officials of Xizhou. Why did Mr. Li not come? Is there any important matter that delayed you?" gone."

Although he said it very politely and politely, Li Hao could tell that he was blaming himself for breaking the appointment. Li Hao smiled lightly and said, "Master Cao doesn't know something. Yesterday afternoon, I took a group of songs to Hongshan I paid homage to my old friend, but I was ambushed by more than 200 horse thieves, and almost died in the Red Mountain.”

"There are horse thieves around Xizhou?" Cao Qing's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, he frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and groaned angrily, "Hmph, what kind of horse thieves are there, it must be Gao Changguo again."

Li Hao pretended to be surprised when he heard the words, "What do you mean by Master Cao's words?"

Seeing that he looked like a young man, Cao Qing felt that he was innocent, and explained: "Your Majesty Li doesn't know that Gao Chang has always treated our Tang Dynasty as suzerain, but he repeatedly robbed and killed the Silk Road behind his back. Caravans, especially the Datang caravans."

Hearing this, Li Hao continued to pretend, staring and exclaiming: "There is such a thing, Mr. Cao has not yet appeared in the imperial court, please send troops to attack."

Hearing this, Cao Qing glanced at Li Hao with a look of disappointment on his face. He was disappointed in Li Hao and thought Li Hao was too young. Out of the compassion of his seniors, he kindly explained: "Master Li, you may feel sorry for Xizhou and I don't know much about places like Tingzhou. Both Xizhou and Tingzhou belong to the frontier of the Tang Dynasty. They are really tasteless places. The imperial court wants to abandon it but is reluctant to give it up. Based on the actual evidence, if it is reported rashly, it may be accused of provoking the gap between the two countries."

Li Hao nodded when he heard the words. Cao Qing's words are still very reasonable. Such a big event must have real evidence before it can be reported, otherwise the only one who is unlucky is himself.

At this time, Cao Qing said again: "Besides, even if I report to Chang'an, so what. Although Gaochang is weak, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Can the imperial court still fight with it? You know, Gaochang is thousands of miles away from Chang'an In the distance, if the army goes on an expedition, it will be difficult and heavy, if the troops are sent less, the problem will not be solved, if more troops are sent, the treasury will be overwhelmed."

Li Hao nodded again, and said: "There is still a vast desert between Gaochang and my Tang Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, just crossing this boundless desert will make my Tang soldiers exhausted. If Gaochang waits for work at leisure, take the lead Attack, the consequences are simply unimaginable."

"That's right." Cao Qing showed approval when he heard the words, and said slowly, "Four years ago, Gaochang often intercepted and killed caravans near Xizhou, and I repeatedly sent troops to ruin his good deeds. In the desert to the west of the state, although it is the border of the Western Turks, the Western Turks have never paid attention to them and acquiesced in Gaochang's despicable behavior. As governor, every governor died without a problem. The first one died of acclimatization, and the second died in a fire at home. Recently, the governor of Tingzhou was killed while suppressing horse thieves. In fact, it is clear what kind of horse thief it is. It's the Gaochang army, Master Li, you and I are both border state shepherds, and I have had a few years more food than you, so I'm here to act like a senior with you, and tell you a few words, don't bother you."

Li Hao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Cao, please speak, this junior is all ears."

Cao Qingyu said earnestly: "I don't know why His Majesty sent you, a young man who is not yet a weak crown, to serve as the governor of Tingzhou. I have also heard about some of your deeds. You have indeed made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty. It is rare to see Young Yingjie, even if the old man is far away in the border, he has heard of it a little bit, but Tingzhou is no better than Chang'an. The horse bandits who robbed and killed you in the mountains are probably disguised by the Gaochang army."

Li Hao was moved when he heard the words, but he didn't expect Cao Qing to be so warm-hearted, he kindly reminded himself, he hurriedly stood up and bowed, and said, "Thank you, Master Cao, for your reminder, I will definitely remember it in my heart."

Cao Qing waved his hands and said, "Don't be polite. Since you and I were sent to such a borderland, Zhoumu, we will be close neighbors in the future. It is also right to take care of each other. If you have any doubts or need help , even if you open your mouth, as long as the old man can do it, he will never refuse."

Hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly said: "Master Cao, speaking of it, I really need your help. When I was passing through Shazhou, I borrowed 540 camels and 540 fast horses from Li Zhongxiao, the governor of Shazhou. I have never had time to return them, and now I plan to buy so many camels and fast horses with you, please help send people to Shazhou, I don’t know if it will work.”

Hearing the words, Cao Qing thought for a while, nodded and said, "This matter is not difficult, but with so many camels and fast horses, I need to let the old man prepare for it for a few days."

Li Hao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will send someone to send over 1000 taels of gold later, it will be used to buy horses and camels."

Cao Qing hurriedly waved his hands: "Why do you need so much 1000 taels of gold..."

Li Hao raised his hand to stop him, and said: "Sending people far away to the sandbank, the journey is tiring, it also needs a lot of money, and the extra lunch is paid for the hard work of the laborers."

"So..." Cao Qing is not a pedantic person, he nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank Master Li for his generosity."

Li Hao returned the salute with a smile: "I should thank Mr. Cao."
