Horse on the World

Chapter 191: Cloud Wants Clothes and Flowers Want Rong

Another year of snow came, and Li Qing in the study looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, and felt emotional. It has been two years, counting from Chong County, two full years, and he has changed a lot, and he has also changed his life. Dingzhou has changed a lot. From a low-level military officer who rose like a rocket, he is now the commander of one state, but actually controls the territories of two states. There are factors of luck, form, and Family reasons, but more because of my own efforts. I have always been trembling like walking on thin ice. How many times I woke up in a dream, sweating profusely, how many times I wandered, almost retreating, and now I am in a high position. Holding the power, looking back at the beginning, it is almost like a dream.

Drunk lying on the knees of beauties, wake up and kill human rights.The current me, it is true to wake up and kill human rights. With one order, thousands of people can throw their heads and blood for it, but the more so, the more heavy it is. If one wrong move, the whole game will be lost. , Can the current self still afford to lose?

Drunk lying on the lap of a beautiful woman?Li Qing smiled wryly, Qingfeng is becoming more and more like a strong woman, step by step to the point where she can skillfully manipulate political power, but all of this is facilitated by herself, if I knew this, I would have let her do it in the first place A female wife, maybe even better.I have no right to blame her. When I pushed her to the position of the Statistics and Investigation Department, but started to like her again and insisted on being with her, everything was doomed.Unless Qingfeng can let go of all this, but she, who has suffered and is extremely sensitive, once she tastes the taste of power, how can she let go of it? Deep down in her heart, Li Qing also understands that Qingfeng can't let go of all this now. , Now it is no longer the simple and incomparable career when I was still in Chong County, which is how to survive. Now my subordinates all see very far, some even see farther than myself.

The wife who has only met once but has never been married is Qingcheng?Li Qing shook his head, she was a strong woman again, compared to Qingfeng, I'm afraid she would be stronger, thinking of the humanoid tank on the Imperial City school field, Li Qing shuddered.This is a blatant political marriage. News has come from the capital that Emperor Tianqi has decided to marry Qingcheng next year. It seems that winning Fuzhou by himself has frightened the emperor a little, and he will use Fuzhou as Qingcheng's dowry?Li Qing couldn't help laughing. When Qingcheng came to Dingzhou, it was like a tiger falling into the sun. No matter how strong she was, how could she restore a city that she had firmly controlled?Kill those low-level officials?Playing political tricks, she can be the opponent of Shang Haibo and others. I am afraid that her will to fight will be worn out after a long time.Is it possible for me and her to have love?

Politics, you son of a bitch!Li Qing felt ruthless in his heart.

The door slammed lightly, and Tang Hu walked in with a large package in his hands, "Marshal, this was delivered by a woman a few days ago. The guard who collected the things didn't know her. The things have been checked and they are all ready." The shoes, single shoes and cotton shoes are all available, and there are more than a dozen pairs of them, handsome! I don’t know it’s the woman, who doesn’t even know how big the handsome’s feet are, so she rushes to send them, and I’m not afraid that the handsome can’t wear them at all.”

"When did you get the shoes?" Li Qing asked strangely.

"Some days, during this period of time, I was busy beating the barbarians with the commander-in-chief, and went to Fuzhou again. Huzi almost forgot about it. I saw this package in the duty room today, and I just remembered it, so I gave it to you." The master sent it."

Opening the package, Li Qing took out a pair of cotton shoes and looked at them over and over again. It was a good workmanship. Looking at the soles, the rows of stitches were dense and neat, as if they had been measured with a ruler. It can be seen that the person who made these shoes was indeed I put my heart into it, felt it in my hands, it was soft and comfortable, and immediately took off the old shoes on my feet with great interest, and put the new shoes on my feet, I couldn't help but open my mouth, not too big or too small, it just fit my feet .

"Who did this?" Li Qing concluded that this was an acquaintance of his, otherwise it would be impossible to know the size of his feet so clearly. "The guard asked, but the girl didn't say anything! Oh, by the way, the guard saw that the girl was still carrying a package in her hand, and she looked like she was about to leave Dingzhou City!" Tang Hu said angrily.

After putting on the shoes, Li Qing jumped on the ground, "It's so comfortable!" He said. "Since you don't know, forget it. Maybe you will meet this girl again in the future. I will thank you later. It's great. I won't worry about these dozen pairs of shoes next year. Haha, riding boots, official boots Wearing it all day long really hurt my feet, with these cloth shoes, they are so comfortable!"

Tang Hu curiously mentioned a pair of shoes. He really saw why these cloth shoes are more comfortable than official boots. After looking at them for a while, he was a little surprised and said: "Commander, Commander, these guys still have words embroidered on the side?"

"Huh?" Li Qing snatched it away, and when he took a closer look, sure enough, there was a line of extremely small words embroidered on the right side of this pair of shoes, "Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful!"

"Yun Xiang's clothes are Hua Xiangrong?" Tang Hu wondered, "What does this mean, Commander, I thought it was this girl's name?"

Li Qing also muttered in his heart, this sentence must have meaning here, and immediately lifted the shoes up one by one, and sure enough, the same sentence was embroidered on each pair of right feet.

While he was meditating, Lu Dabing stepped through the straight door, saluted, and said: "Commander, Mr. Shang has arrived at the military commander's mansion and said that today he will go to Chong County with him to inspect the reserves. Let me ask the commander when Set off?"

Li Qing put down his shoes, "Now, let's go. It's snowing so much today, it's good to be able to rush to Chong County, and we can go to Jiming Ze tomorrow!"

A group of people put on cloaks, and under the protection of more than a hundred personal guards, they set off towards Chongxian County. The snow was still falling, and there was a little snow on the trees and roofs. It was black and white, and they left Dingzhou City. The Chidao in Dingzhou appeared in front of everyone. The Chidao was built with composite soil, and a layer of gravel was pressed on it. In this way, even in rainy days, it would not be muddy and difficult to walk. All the Chidao in Dingzhou will use This standard is not only for the benefit of the people, but also for the needs of the military. With such a road, the speed and efficiency of troop mobilization, large equipment, materials, and grain and grass transportation will be greatly improved.This road leading to Chongxian County was the first to be built in Dingzhou, not only because Chongxian County is the place where Li Qing made his fortune, but also because he is now the reserve training center of Dingzhou, where a large number of soldiers are the first to be recruited. After several months of training, they are assigned to the battalions, so a good road is essential.

Big pits have been dug on both sides of the road, and it is planned to transplant big trees in the next spring. At the beginning of summer, this road will be full of trees and will become a beautiful scenery in Dingzhou.

There were people coming and going on Chidao, even though it was snowing, there were still quite a few people, when they saw Li Qing and the others coming, they quickly avoided the side of the road and bowed to salute.

In the evening, a group of people approached Chong County. There was still a section of road that hadn't been repaired. In such a snowy day, there were still dark crowds building the road in the snow. Li Qing couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

Shang Haibo said with a smile: "Commander, these road builders are not the people of our Dingzhou, but the captives captured by beating the barbarians several times. The commander is not allowed to kill these barbarians, but we can't keep them in vain." They, of course, want them to do something to pay off the debt, there are thousands of people, here are just a few people, and there are more people building roads and digging ditches in Fuyuan."

"Oh!" Li Qing suddenly realized, and when he walked closer, he saw groups of barbarian soldiers wearing shackles under the supervision of Dingzhou soldiers, struggling to carry the prepared compound soil and stones. There was a sound, and many people showed pain on their faces. Everyone's ankles were worn out by iron shackles, and they were red and swollen from the cold in such a cold weather. If they moved a little slower, the soldiers would whip them down.

Seeing the unbearable expression on Li Qing's face, Shang Haibo said: "Commander, these barbarians are brave, and it's not easy to watch them without shackles, and even though we let them work, we still let them have enough to eat. There are doctors to see them when they are sick, and they have been captured for such a long time, but none of them died, compared to those of our people who were looted by them, the treatment is many times better."

Li Qing nodded, remembering that when he attacked Angu back then, didn't the groups of ragged slaves also shivering in shackles and working hard in the cold wind?There are also piles of white bones discarded everywhere on the grassland. Thinking of these, my heart that had been softened hardened again.

"Don't let them die, they are all good workers!" Li Qing said.

Seeing Li Qing and others approaching, the soldiers beat the captives and made them kneel on both sides of the road in a row, with their swords and guns out of their sheaths, fully on guard. Some of the captives suddenly jumped up and made trouble.Li Qing, who rode past, looked at the rows of captives who were kneeling on the ground. Most of these people lowered their heads, and occasionally some people raised their heads. Their eyes were empty and lifeless.Obviously, he has no hope for his own future at all, and he is just living day by day.

Reaching out his hand to beckon a fruit leader in charge here, Li Qing ordered: "Although these people are barbarians, since they are captives now and are working for us, you have to take care of your food and call a doctor if you are sick. Also, let them take a hot bath every few days, this day is so cold, don't let them die."

"Yes, commander!" Guochang was very excited. The commander personally ordered to give him a mere Guochang. I am afraid that there will not be many in the entire Dingzhou army. "Don't worry, commander, I will definitely raise them." Great job, let them build our roads and dig ditches for us."

Li Qing smiled, and said to Shang Haibo: "Let's go, we're going a bit slower today, I'm afraid Jie Wei was a little anxious to wait."

After the crowd walked for half an hour, they saw the county seat of Chongxian County. After the old city of Chongxian County was destroyed, Li Qing did not rebuild the city wall. At this time, Jiewei was leading a group of officials at the end of the road Waiting for Li Qing and his party.It has been more than a year since Jiewei served as the county magistrate of Chongxian County. When Li Qing saw him earlier, he still had the air of a petty official, but now he has some prestige of a county magistrate. Seeing Li Qing, he bowed deeply, "Jiewei has met the commander, the commander has worked hard!"

Li Qing got off his horse, "Jiewei, I kept you waiting."

Jie Wei smiled and said: "We wait for the commander-in-chief, that's what we should do, commander-in-chief, your former general's mansion in Chong County has been packed, and the post house has also prepared a house, you can go there to rest ?”

Li Qing didn't even think about it and said: "Going to the general's mansion, revisiting the old place, it will be more interesting, isn't it, Mr. Shang?"
