Horse on the World

Chapter 140 A trip to Huai'an

No. Amoy!It was updated yesterday to 13000, and only 11000 was counted for me. Dozens of words were compressed, and more than 100 update tickets flew away with long wings. Let's comfort the injured gunner by counting the tickets!Do you have a recommended ticket or a monthly pass?

Although Fuzhou and Huai'an Mansion are adjacent to Dingzhou, there is no sign of war at all. It is different from the fierce martial arts habits of Dingzhou people. Most of the street people wear long robes and walk calmly. Dogs, there are many shops on the street, all kinds of goods are dazzling, and the shop assistants are smiling and selling our products to passers-by on the street.There are also many beauties, dressed in thin clothes, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, holding round fans, standing in front of upstairs windows, or leaning against the lintel, winking and amused.

Li Qing shook his head and sighed to himself: "Business girls don't know the hatred of subjugation, and they still sing flowers in the backyard across the river!" Cui Yicheng, who was walking with him, couldn't hear what Li Qing was saying, but Mingyan's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: " Commander, is this a new word for you?"

Li Qing smiled lowly, and said: "No, I'm expressing my feelings. Seeing the scene here, I can't help but think of our Dingzhou, the two states are adjacent, but the contrast is so great, it has to make people feel emotional."

This time Cui Yicheng heard it clearly, and said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief is in the Huai'an mansion. If you go down and have a look, the scene will be very different. Most of the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Fuzhou gathered in the Huai'an mansion, and the people below But the county is not as good, especially those Yanding, life is still quite miserable. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as starvation and poor clothing."

"Oh?" Li Qing asked with interest, "Is Commander Xiang not afraid of these people's rebellion? The three southern states are now full of bee smoke. In the final analysis, it's not because the stomach is not full."

Cui Yicheng smiled and said: "Commander Xiang is quite clever in this. Even though people are not full, they will not starve to death. As long as the common people still have some hope, they are willing to take risks and do these decapitating activities. If some The local salt officials are too much, and Commander Xiang will make an example."

"Speaking of which, Marshal Xiang is quite smart, he knows where the bottom line is!" Li Qing laughed.

"Of course you're smart. If you're not smart, An Neng has sat in Fuzhou for so many years. You know, there are quite a few people in the queen's family who covet this seat!" Cui Yicheng laughed.

"Well, I like smart people, and it's easier to deal with smart people." Li Qing said, "Have you made all the arrangements?"

"Don't worry, Marshal, I've made all the arrangements. I've reserved a venue tonight at Yipinju, the largest restaurant in Huai'an Mansion, and only entertain the two Marshals."

At the Marshal's Mansion in Huai'an, Xiang Xianhe, who was as fat as a ball, paced the room with his stomach outstretched with difficulty. After walking back and forth a few times, he finally stopped panting, holding a post in his hand. , sneered and said: "What does this Cui Yicheng want to do? Invite me to a banquet, grandma's, could it be that he can invite me if he wants, and I haven't settled with him yet? I think I have relied on Li Qing and dominated me." In the state salt market, I still give Lao Tzu a share according to the old rules, treat me as Ha Er!"

A staff member on one side smiled and said: "Commander, Cui Yicheng doesn't know the rules, so you are going all the more. Teach him the rules and let him make up for it. How can you let him go for nothing?"

Xiang Xianhe sneered: "To teach him discipline, I still need to go there in person. Just one person in the commander's mansion can squeeze out his bones. If you mess with me, I will let him know that Prince Ma has How many eyes?"

The staff member wiped his sweat and persuaded: "Commander, isn't this Cui Yicheng related to Dingzhou Li Qing and Li Dashuai? We can't do everything, and it will be difficult to meet Li Dashuai in the future? Besides, Li Dashuai is already a royal family." Son-in-law, speaking of it, we are still relatives with the Marshal!"

Hearing this, Xiang Xianhe rubbed his stomach, "It seems that what you said is also reasonable, Li Qing, I can't do too much with him, but if we really want to talk about seniority, he still has to call me uncle." What!" At this point, he couldn't help but feel complacent, chuckled, and said, "Master Ji, you don't know, a letter from the capital said that Li Qing had a fight with Qingcheng, hahaha, what a joke. That girl suffered a terrible loss this time, but she couldn't say it, hahaha!"

Master Ji wiped his sweat again. It is better to know less about these royal secrets, but the commander-in-chief claims to be Li Qing's uncle, but I don't know if Li Qing recognizes him. , The method is very good, how can it be easy to provoke people?

"Yeah, yes, Marshal Xiang is the elder of Marshal Li, and he is going to teach Cui Yicheng the principles of life for Marshal Li. How can he cross the river and tear down bridges? Otherwise, Marshal Xiang will cut off his salt road and let him cry. I'm afraid Marshal Li won't spare him then."

Xiang Xianhe patted his belly, "It makes sense, this time, don't let him vomit blood, and never let him go. Master Ji, you make arrangements, we will go to the banquet tonight."

Master Ji promised, and when he came out, he wiped off his sweat, and said in his heart: "Cui Yicheng, Cui Yicheng, if you want me to help you, you must invite a handsome man, but I can do it for you, this 1000 taels of silver I didn't take you for nothing, but you can't blame me if the commander-in-chief makes you ugly."

Hearing the marshal's weird smile and the girl's screams coming from the room, Master Ji ran away quickly.

At dusk, the street where the Yipin Building is located was closed and cleared. The guards of the Marshal's Mansion stood out along the street, and the bustling street was immediately cleared. Except for the Yipin Building, the rest of the businesses were complaining. Soon, everyone knew that Dashuai Xiang was going to Yipin Building, but in this street, the rest of the businesses would have no business. The frowning bosses all closed their doors early with dark faces. They all knew that Dashuai's Virtue, this one will not leave until midnight, so I can rest early today.

Seeing this ostentation, Li Qing from upstairs shook his head and said with a smile, "Marshal Xiang is such a grand ostentation, it's like the emperor going on a tour, actually cleaning the streets and clearing the roads."

There were no outsiders in the room, so Cui Yicheng became more courageous, "Isn't Marshal Xiang the local emperor of Fuzhou? He's absolutely right, let alone closing down the streets, even more outrageous things can be done."

Yang Yidao couldn't help but said: "If he does this, is it possible that other officials are blind and don't care? No one has a copy of him?"

Li Qing laughed, "One knife, in Fuzhou, as long as Xiang Dashuai covers the sky with one hand, who would dare to touch a hair on him? Besides, Xiang Dashuai's backstage is not ordinary hard, it is very hard! Besides, Xiang Dashuai And he has a lot of money, and the money is enough, as long as he doesn't raise the flag to rebel, who will care about him."

Just as we were talking, the door slammed softly, and a group of Yuanyuan Yanyan, holding musical instruments, filed in, bowed to everyone, and the leader smiled and said: "Oh, Master Cui, this is a building that hasn't invited us to laugh for a while." Come to join us, it's rare that you finally think of us again today?"

Cui Yicheng laughed, "Cui didn't return to Huai'an for a few days, so as soon as he came back, did he quickly invite Miss Ding? Today's invitation is for Commander Xiang, Miss Ding must show her real skills!"

Turning around, he said to Li Qing: "This is Miss Ding Ling from Qianjin Yixiaolou's "Salute to the Moon Pass", the top card in Huai'an Mansion, she is a master of singing and dancing!"

Li Qing nodded, glanced at him, then turned back to look downstairs, Qingfeng was not very interested, only Mingyan saw her colleague, and couldn't help but look at her curiously, Ding Ling from Qianjinyixiaolou was the same as her, He is also the leader of a state, and finally seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation, not to mention whether he is a master of singing and dancing, but his appearance alone is much stronger than himself.

Seeing Cui Yicheng talking to Li Qing, Ding Ling looked like a servant talking to his master, he couldn't help being startled, and secretly thought that this is the god who can make Huai'an rich man Cui Ye so humble?His eyes swept over Yang Yidao and the other guard who were watching him warily, and his heart skipped a beat. The two men were so murderous, they must be the ones who had seen blood.The eyes of the people in the entertainment field are indeed poisonous, and they found something wrong at a glance.

Li Qing didn't care what Ding Ling found out, Zuo Zuo came here today to discuss business with Xiang Xianhe, even though Ding Ling was like tea smoke and had some special status, he didn't care.

There was a sudden sound of horseshoes downstairs. It seemed that Xiang Xianhe had arrived. Li Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes when he probed his head. He had never seen a fat man before, but he had never seen such a fat man. The soldiers of the brigade The horse team surrounded a carriage and went downstairs. The person who got out of the carriage looked like a meatball. Seeing the humble attitude of the people around him, that person must be Xiang Xianhe.

"Is this fat man Commander Xiang?" Li Qing turned around and asked.

"Yes!" Cui Yicheng leaned forward and said, "I have to pick it up, otherwise Commander Xiang will be unhappy again." He accused Li Qing of his crime and ran away quickly.

Ding Ling on the side became more and more surprised. This young man actually called Commander Xiang a fat man, and it was very natural and fluent. The people with him, including Cui Yicheng, did not express anything special. This shows that the identity of this young man is different. unusual!
"Where is this young master from? But his face is tight!" Ding Ling smiled and walked towards Li Qing, just as he took a step, Yang Yidao already stretched out his hand to stop him, and said coldly, "Go aside."

Ding Ling's complexion changed drastically. No one had ever been so rude to her before. Even Commander Xiang downstairs always laughed at her and wanted to say something, but when he saw Yang Yidao's stern eyes, His eyes snapped back abruptly, and he retreated to the side with a full face of grievance.

There was a painful creaking sound from the floor outside the building. Presumably Xiang Xianhe had already arrived outside the door, Li Qing turned around, patted his face, and tried his best to put on a smiling face.

The door opened, and a meat ball rolled in, but he didn't see Li Qing, but Ding Ling who was on the side first, and before he could speak, he burst out laughing, "Ahaha, old Cui, what are you doing today? But it's a big deal, even Miss Ding from Qianjin Yixiao Building and her entire team are invited, which is expensive? Miss Ding, haven't seen you for a while? But you're doing well, come to my house another day How will it be when you sing out?"

While talking, a pair of fleshy hands touched Ding Ling's little hand, and she held it in her hand and kneaded it.

The grievance on Ding Ling's face was wiped away, and she said with a charming smile: "Isn't it easy for the commander to listen to Ling'er singing? You just said hello, didn't Linger run over immediately that time? But Today, the Commander still has guests to say hello to!" He said, his eyes were on Li Qing.

Li Qing's barely supporting smiling face seemed a little stiff at this moment.Seeing that Xiang Xianhe finally looked at him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, Xiang Xianhe's face changed, "Old Cui, what do you mean?" His voice was all stern, obviously he didn't expect that there was someone else in the room that he didn't know, and at first glance, he didn't seem to be a good person. Yang Yidao and that relative The murderous aura on Wei's body was too strong, Xiang Xianhe had never eaten pork, how could he have seen a pig run away?After all, he is also the commander of Yizhou, and he was shocked to see the difference between these people at a glance.Hearing Commander Xiang's angry shout, the guards outside the door had already appeared by the door.

Li Qing smiled, clasped his fists and said: "Master Xiang, Li Qing from Dingzhou came to pay a visit, the abrupt part, I still look at Haihan!"

Dingzhou Li Qing, Xiang Xianhe's body like a ball of meat froze abruptly, and Ding Ling on one side stretched out his hand to cover his small mouth. It turned out that the person in front of him was Dingzhou Li Qing who had recently spread his fame all over Chu. .
