Horse on the World

Chapter 127 Marriage
The battle at the Dingzhou Army's imperial city school field was a blockbuster, and the sound shook Luoyang. There were countless meetings and small meetings in the courtyards of deep houses. The young man walked from one casino to another with a big smile, took out the betting slip with a smile, and took away the silver tickets one by one under the envious eyes of everyone.

Yingou Gambling House is located in the civilian area of ​​Nancheng, Luoyang. At the end of a deep alley, there is another story behind an ordinary wooden door. There are dozens of gaming tables densely packed with all kinds of gambling equipment. Although it is not as good as Fugui Casino It is luxurious and high-end, but it attracts a large number of civilian gamblers, and it can be regarded as making a lot of money every day, but today, all the gamblers put down their gambling equipment and looked at the green robed man quietly. Holding a silver ticket of 1 taels, he walked out of Yingou Gambling Shop with a smile on his face, and the owner of Yingou Gambling Shop was ashen-faced. It is said that he had an insider information and made an astonishing one-to-one-hundred handicap. Pao Ren only gave 100 taels of silver, but took 1 taels from him.

The green-robed man hummed a slang tune from somewhere, and walked out along the long alley step by step, until a few big men with bare chests and belly appeared in front of them, blocking the alleyway tightly. It wasn't until he realized that he immediately covered his chest where the bank note was placed.

"What are you guys doing?" His voice was a little trembling.

"Boy, is Master Jia's money so easy to get?" The leading man grinned grinningly, "Be sensible and hand over the money, and Grandpa won't make things difficult for you."

"Damn!" The green-robed man straightened his back, "What kind of casino can you open if you can't lose money? You want to slaughter me like a fat sheep." With his mouth open, a series of obscenities spewed out in an endless stream, and there was a It was mixed with some local dialect, and the big men were stunned when they heard it. The green-robed guy who looked like a gentleman turned into a market gangster in a blink of an eye. The huge contrast made them feel a little embarrassed But gods.

"Damn it, don't eat the toast and eat fine wine, brothers, come on, abolish him." The big man became angry from embarrassment.

"Wait a minute!" the green-robed man took a step back and said. "Several heroes, there are people behind you!"

"Little boy, I used this trick when I was ten years old. I want to deceive me, and I don't even know who I am?" The big man grinned.

"Brother, there are people!" A younger brother looked back inadvertently, and his voice trembled. Behind them, at some point, a few well-dressed men came and looked at them with a sneer, almost touching their backs. up.

The big man turned his head, and then his throat tightened. He was pinched tightly by the person opposite, and he was almost out of breath. , I used this trick when I was five years old, and after I was ten years old, what I said was true."

"Master Zhong, do you want to clean up this gambling house?" A big man asked.

"Whatever!" The green-robed man known as Master Zhong waved his hand like a mosquito, "If you are also short of money, you might as well make a fortune."

"Okay!" Several big men replied excitedly, and they all started together, like chickens, dragged the few big men who were still cocky just now, and walked towards the Silver Hook Casino.

Walking to the entrance of the alley, a man in a white robe greeted him, "Zhong Ziqi, you made a lot of money, should you pay me back?"

"Repay, of course, but Brother Xu, can the interest be lowered!"

"No." The person surnamed Xu said loudly. "Oh, by the way, Old Zhong, I got some very interesting news, um, about Li Qing, do you want to know?"

"Li Qing, I want to know, I want to know, he is my mascot, without him, where would I earn so much money, of course I want to know!" Zhong Ziqi was full of interest.

"Someone is going to attack him."

"What?" Zhong Ziqi was startled, and stopped: "Xu Siyu, is this news true?"

"Of course it is true. Tell me, are we going to intervene? I want to intervene. Is it just to add fuel to the fire, or to send charcoal in the snow, and I am thinking of discussing it with you?"

The two lowered their voices, whispered and walked away. Behind them, the Silver Hook Gambling House was already in chaos. From time to time, people rushed out from the small door and fled in embarrassment.

An Guogong's mansion, Li Muzhi, and Li Tuizhi gathered in Li Huaiyuan's study, "It's unexpected that Qing'er has trained such a strong army in such a short period of time. This is the luck of my Li family!" Li Tuizhi Sighed, the excitement was beyond words.

"If I have such a strong army in the south, and the rebellion can be quelled, it would be shameful to escape by taking advantage of illness like now!" Li Muzhi shook his head and was speechless.

Li Huaiyuan pondered and said: "Qing'er's move is also beyond my expectations. If he has such a combat power of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dingzhou Army, then no one in the world will be his opponent. But in my opinion, I'm afraid Only his personal guards have this kind of combat power, and the other troops are probably far behind."

"Father, if you can reach the other, it's a little bit worse, but looking at the big Chu, it's also a first-class strong army." Li Tuizhi said.

"That's not bad." Li Huaiyuan said: "But the defeat of the Imperial Forest Army has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage lies in the false, but the disadvantages have already begun to appear. After Qu Yongjie's defeat, the Imperial Forest Army will definitely not be able to stay. The Holy One is ready. Transfer him to replace the third child to fight the rebellion in the south."

"Then who is leading the Imperial Forest Army?" Wei Wuhou asked.

"I'm afraid you can't think of this person!" Li Huaiyuan smiled wryly, "Xiao Yuanshan."

Li Muzhi and Li Tuizhi both took a breath of air, "In this way, the capital will fall under the control of the Xiao family."

"There is no doubt about it. After all, do we have any capable people in the Royal Forest Army?"

"Not many, and most of them are low-level officers, the highest is no more than a general." Li Tuizhi said.

"Qu Yongjie was originally a neutral person, and he respected the aristocratic family at a distance, but Li Qing forced him away, which is really not a good thing for us in the capital. Let's arrange it well, and strive to have our Li family in the Imperial Forest Army. Voice. In addition, the palace guards have to find a way."

Li Tuizhi said in embarrassment: "Father, the Imperial Forest Army still has ways to think about it, but the Palace Guard Army is led by Princess Qingcheng personally, and it is monolithic and cannot be penetrated at all."

"Hey!" Li Huaiyuan laughed, "Fortunately, this woman is a woman. Compared with Tianqi, her methods and courage are much stronger, but she is also a woman after all, and she is not young this year." , I will get married after all."

Li Tuizhi's eyes lit up, "Father, Qing'er is not married yet, with Qing'er's current status, it is more than enough to be a consort, why not make this happen?"

"It's difficult!" Li Huaiyuan said.

Seeing that his father also had the same intention, Li Tuizhi said excitedly: "Father, we can let Concubine Lu blow the pillow breeze, and I think the emperor also intends to win over Li Qing, otherwise he wouldn't invite him alone at the beginning, this matter is a joke. "

"You can try."

"Father, I think Li Qing has a deep affection for the woman named Qingfeng next to her. I'm afraid Li Qing must first agree to this matter. Otherwise, if the emperor agrees, there will be problems with Li Qing. Then we I was passive." Li Muzhi said suddenly.

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Mu Zhi, this matter has nothing to discuss with Li Qing, you should also get closer to the Wen family. As long as the Wen family agrees, you will not be afraid of Li Qing." Li Huaiyuan said lightly: "You Father, it's not very good."

Wei Yuanhou's face flushed red, he was speechless.

At this moment, in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion West Cross Courtyard, Li Qing was having a huddle with Wen's. As for Li Qing's prestige and power outside, from Wen's point of view, it was just a cloud. All she hoped was for her son to be well. Ping An An is her blessing, seeing her son still sits obediently in front of her with his hands on his knees like when he was a child, she feels joy from the bottom of her heart. The hard life in the past doesn't matter.

"Qing'er, you are twenty-one this year, and you are not too young. You see, Li Zheng and Li Jun have already become fathers, and you are still alone. Do you have any plans to get married?" Wen said with a smile.

Li Qing shook his head and said: "My son is still young, and he is saying that he is now in a state of disarray and spends most of his time on the battlefield, so he has time to think about these things."

Wen shook her head, "As the saying goes, if you start a family and start a business, you will succeed in your career now, but you can't ignore this family. Do you have a beloved girl?"

Li Qing nodded.

"But that Miss Qingfeng?" Wen asked with a smile. How could she, who has been here, not understand the intimacy that the two of them inadvertently showed in front of her these days? "Since I like her, why didn't I marry him? I also like Qingfeng very much. Although we haven't been together for long, it can be seen that she is a good woman who is knowledgeable and capable!"

Li Qingdao: "Of course my son knows that she is a good girl, otherwise how could he like her? It's just that there are a few huge problems in it. Mother, you know, my marriage may not be yours and my mother's. It was decided, and there were other things mixed in, which made my son very distressed."

At that moment, Li Qing began to recount Li Qing's origin and experiences in a tense manner, and it took half an hour before he could explain it clearly. After finishing speaking, Wen was silent for a while, and said: "Son, this woman's chastity is strong, three obedience and four virtues are very important, but what is more important is that the two of you are in love with each other. After so many years, I finally understand this truth, you Since she likes her, and she also likes you, why bother? I don't understand your military and state affairs, and I don't want to interfere with your affairs, but a woman who knows books and etiquette, for you, actually did you I don't know how embarrassed she is about the murder and arson. You, it's really not a way to drag her around like this!"

"It's not that I dragged her, but that she refused to agree to me!" Li Qing argued.

"Since she is the granddaughter of Master Liu, her family background is not bad, and even we are superior, Qing'er, why don't you bring Qingfeng to Master Liu, as long as Master Liu agrees to let Qingfeng re-enter the house, everything will be fine." Isn't it easy to solve?" Wen said with a smile.

Li Qing jumped up and said loudly: "That's right, why didn't I think of it, just do it like this, I will bring Qingfeng to find Master Liu tomorrow."

There was a bang outside the door, Li Qing opened the door, but saw Qingfeng burst into tears, at her feet, two teacups and a tea tray fell to the ground.

"Qingfeng!" Li Qing shouted.
