Horse on the World

Chapter 114 Going Home (1)

There is another chapter in the morning.

-----------------------

After getting out of the palace, Li Qing left Tian Qi behind. What about Great Chu? He is still far away. He is just a general in a frontier military state, and he can't even talk about how much influence he has on the huge Great Chu. As for the special attention that the bosses paid to him this time, it was only because he was too young and defeated Xiao Yuanshan, coupled with the grievances and resentments between Li Shi and Xiao Shi behind him, that made him come to the forefront. It won't be long before these bigwigs will forget about him, at most it's just that there is one more rising star of the Li family in their records.

What he was excited about was getting [-] craftsmen from Emperor Tianqi, which was a priceless treasure. I believe that after Xin Ruyun heard the news, he would jump eight feet high and couldn't sleep for a few days.With such a happy head, the stomach that was already hungry seems to be full. Speaking of which, the dim sum in the palace is really good, but it is a pity that it is so fast.

It seems that he has to hurry up. The performance of Emperor Tianqi shows that Dachu is really on the verge of collapse and is powerless. Li Qing does not believe that under the current general situation, the emperor can turn the tide and save the world. The rebellion in Zhouzhou is just a prelude to medicine. I believe it will not be long before the entire powder keg will be completely detonated. Li Qing seems to see that in the near future, the entire Great Chu will be full of wars and wars everywhere, and now the court can only retreat in Luoyang, helplessly. Watch it all happen.

In the history of the previous life, the scene of the mighty Zhou Dynasty being reduced to the titular emperor after 800 years seems to be repeated here, and I am absolutely unwilling to be a stepping stone for those overlords.If you want to do this, you must become stronger as soon as possible, and to become stronger, you must first clear your own backyard, Bayar on the grassland.At that time, I will be sitting on Dingzhou and the grasslands, and even have the black mountains and white waters outside Congling Pass, so I am qualified to watch the changes in the Central Plains with a smile, until I get a foot in and compete in the Central Plains.

"General, are you back?" Qingfeng greeted Li Qing with a smile, and removed Li Qing's armor, helmet, and waist knife, and changed into a suit of casual clothes. A jug of wine was brought up and placed on the table, "I went out early in the morning, and I just came back at this time, and the palace didn't care about food, so I must be very hungry. I asked the post to prepare wine and food. I really wait for you to come back." !"

Li Qing sat down, stretched his body, and said with a smile: "Well, it feels so good to have a wife. You see, that kid Tang Hu stayed at home all the time, so he couldn't think of this. He was indeed hungry, but he ate a plate in the palace. Dim sum, I barely pressed it."

Qingfeng blushed and said angrily: "General, you can talk crazy in broad daylight, and you're not afraid of being overheard."

"What are you afraid of? We are all our own people inside and out. They don't know about our affairs. Whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will drive him away. Ah, yes, you said just now that I talk crazy during the day, Then I won't talk about it, how about I talk to you tonight?" Picking up the wine glass, he drank it in one gulp, and teased.

Qingfeng picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food and stuffed it into Li Qing's mouth, "You're talking nonsense again, you have to move after eating, have you forgotten?"

Hearing Qingfeng mention this, Li Qing's expression changed, he didn't have any good feelings for Weiyuan Hou Mansion, if it wasn't for the fact that his mother was still there and he didn't go back, she might be angry again, so he didn't want to go back , even going to Anguo Gong's mansion should be more comfortable.

Seeing Li Qing's expression, Qingfeng comforted: "I know you are unhappy, but Baishan filial piety comes first, and the son never speaks of his father's faults. Why is Lord Weiyuan also your father? This blood relationship will never be erased." Yes, we can't let people catch this and gossip. Anyway, we will not stay in the capital for a long time, and we still have to go back to Dingzhou, so we should suffer for a few days!"

Then Li Qing smiled: "You're right, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law, and you, an ugly daughter-in-law, just happened to visit her mother this time. She's a nice old lady, but she's a little timid. You'll like it her."

Qingfeng picked up some food for him, and said: "What kind of wife am I, don't gossip around and make people laugh."

Li Qing put down his chopsticks and was about to say something, but Qingfeng interrupted him, "General, don't say anything." Both eyes were a little red.

Li Qing sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. This matter is troublesome after all. In the past, Shang Haibo and other civil officials disagreed, but now Li's family members may be added.

"Let's talk about something happy. I have hired [-] craftsmen from the emperor, which means a lot to us in Dingzhou."

"Really?" Qingfeng was surprised and delighted, "Why is the emperor so generous? What does he want from us?" As soon as he talked about business, Qingfeng immediately entered the role and returned to her position as the director of the Statistics and Investigation Department. The first reaction is what the other party wants, what plans they have, and how to deal with it.

"I promised to clear the grassland for him within three years, and put the grassland under the territory of Dachu. That's all."

Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Even if the emperor doesn't give us anything, we still have to do it. Dingzhou and the barbarians are at odds with each other, so what is he trying to do?"

Li Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty is already in a hurry to go to the doctor. No matter what, we will take it anyway. Even if I conquer the grassland in the future, he will have nothing to reward me."

Just as he was talking, Yang Yidao's voice sounded from outside: "Marshal, someone has arrived from Weiyuanhoufu."

Li Qing said angrily: "Didn't you see that I was eating, let them wait." Hearing that the commander's voice was not very good, Yang Yidao turned around and left in a hurry.

Li Qing finished his meal slowly, drank another cup of tea, Qingfeng massaged him carefully for a while, and then walked out comfortably.

Although the sun in July is not very poisonous, standing in the sun for a long time is still very challenging. Now three people are standing in the sun, standing with their hands hanging down, sweat drops fall to the ground in big drops, chest The back is already soaked.Seeing Li Qing come out, a person in his early [-]s who was the leader immediately knelt down on one knee, "Li Hua, the chief steward of the waiting mansion, greets the young marquis, and the young marquis is well!"

Fast-forward five years, Li Qing hardly recognizes this big butler anymore, time is merciless, when he left, this very strong butler has now given birth to Huafa, when he was still waiting in the mansion, he couldn't talk to himself Good, but it's not bad. At the time when everyone was looking at Qiu's eyes and bullying his mother and daughter, it was already considered good. Of course, this also has something to do with Li Hua's identity. He followed Wei Yuanhou all the way from the battlefield. It was the old man of the Li family who typed it out. No matter how fierce the Qiu family is, they still have to sell some face to him.

"So it's Steward Li?" Li Qing said indifferently: "Get up quickly, you are an old man in the Li family, and you have worked hard. I can't afford your gift, a knife, and bring a glass of water to Steward Li to quench your thirst. Really, the sun is so high, you don't know how to call Butler Li to sit inside and wait for me?"

Yang Yidao sneered and quickly poured a glass of water, Li Hua was not pretentious, took it and drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Young Master, don't blame General Yang, it's Li Hua who wants to stand here and wait. Young Master I also feel happy to teach those savages a hard lesson for us, when I was with Lord Marquis in Weiwuyuan Castle, I didn’t beat you so hard, Young Master Marquis.”

Li Qing smiled and remained silent, but Yang Yidao became curious: "What? You also fought in Dingzhou, or did you follow Lord Weiyuan?"

Li Hua smiled proudly: "General Yang, I was also killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. At that time, I was sitting in Weiyuan Fort with Marquis Weiyuan, and was besieged by barbarians. I fought for more than ten days in a row. I really suffered heavy casualties. Ah! Later, when the barbarians saw that they were unable to attack by force, they repeatedly planted flags under the fort to challenge the Lord Hou. He rode out of the fort alone, and then under the fort, he picked out the barbarian's eight generals with an iron spear. What a joy! The barbarians were severely discouraged, and the barbarians retreated in dismay. It was because of this battle that Lord Hou was granted the title of Marquis of Weiyuan!"

Li Qing didn't make a sound. Of course he knew about these things. This was Wei Yuanhou's most brilliant battle, and it was also this battle that made him famous in the Great Chu. This Li Hua was clever and knew how to get closer to these people. The distance between the soldiers, after talking about it, the eyes of his own soldiers are much closer to him.Yes, they all have the experience of fighting barbarians, which is indeed easy to resonate with people.

"If there is a chance, we must discuss it with Steward Li!" Yang Yidao said enthusiastically.

Li Hua said with a smile: "General Yang was joking, my old arms and legs can't withstand the general's fists and feet, but when it comes to stories, there are a lot of old people."

Li Qing said with a smile: "Steward Li was also a well-known brave general at the border. Once you get back to the waiting mansion, you will have a lot of opportunities to ask the butler for advice. The experience of the butler fighting old battles is hard to buy."

Hearing Li Qing's praise, Li Hua smiled and said: "Thank you, Young Master, for your compliment. Li Hua is only selling words now." Hearing Li Qing's words, he already knew that Li Qing agreed to return to the residence. Worried about having already flown beyond Jiuxiaoyun, also, how much hatred can there be between father and son.

"Young Master, everything is ready in the Hou Mansion, just wait for the Young Master to go home."

Li Qing nodded, and said to Yang Yidao: "Yidao, tell everyone to pack up, let's go!"
