Chapter 25 Dong Xiaowan Goes South

Li Xin looked at the crowd kneeling on the ground in surprise. Although he had been called the son before, he had never been called the master.Once you want to call yourself the master, that is to recognize him as the master.His wealth and life are controlled by Li Xin.

"Everyone please stand up, everyone please stand up." Li Xin hurriedly helped everyone up one by one at this time.

"My lord, my subordinates will definitely take good care of the mistress, so please rest assured, my lord." Zhao Guang said without hesitation.

"Hey! What a pity." Li Xin nodded, looked up to the sky and said, "Tomorrow you will escort your wife to the south. After you return to Jinzhou, you will get Qiu Hejia's official seal. If you want to come to the government along the way, they will not embarrass you."

"Yes, my lord." Zhao Guang nodded.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Jiang Yi said softly: "Now that the spies from Donglu have arrived near the Daling River, there must be a large army coming soon. Have we already prepared?" Jiang Yi asked anxiously.

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being. Let's get someone to transport some food and grass to the valley. Our strength is too small. In a short time, it is impossible to gain a foothold on the grassland." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Now we still have to look for opportunities. However, Nine deaths! You have to think about it."

"Hehe, my lord was joking. I, Yang Xiong, can see clearly. In this world, if you don't cling to the strong, you might lose your life. Even if I'm in the Central Plains right now, someone will rebel sooner or later. Such a court If it doesn’t fall, then it’s a strange thing! Even if the army of Donglu cannot invade the Central Plains, those rebels, such as those within King Chuang, will take over the country sooner or later. In this case, it’s better to follow the Lord.” Yang Xiong He said without thinking.

"Yes, my lord, I'm relieved to follow you." Ju Tu laughed loudly.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's make an arrangement." Li Xin nodded and said, "Yang Xiong, you are responsible for taking care of these slaves, no matter whether these people can successfully build Dalinghe City within two months, these They are all our great helpers. Jiang Yi and Gao Meng are in charge of training soldiers. Whether they are the spies of the Donglu or the spies on the grassland, they must be killed. Jutu, You tell our soldiers to train the bow and arrow. What the cavalry pays attention to is archery."

"Yes, my lord, just watch! Watch how your subordinates train them." Jutu was originally a ranger on the grassland. At this time, he was taken in by Li Xin, and he liked his ability. Why didn't he work hard.

"Shuai Zu, these Jiannu heads killed by Li Xin's subordinates." At this moment, in Zu Dashou's mansion, He Kegang dropped the heads on the ground without looking at them.

"His subordinates killed him? Spy?" Zu Dashou looked at He Kegang in surprise and said.Obviously, they don't believe that Li Xin's subordinates still have such strength.

"That's right, the authentic money mouse tail, I have carefully looked at it, it is a spy from Donglu." He Kegang nodded, and said: "I am afraid that five batches of such spies have appeared since we came here."

"Hmph, even if we are in Jinzhou, there are quite a few spies like this, so it's nothing to make a fuss about." Zu Dashou said disdainfully, "It's just that I didn't expect that Li Xin's subordinates are actually not bad! They can be killed. The spies of Donglu!"

"They killed and injured five people. Hundreds of people went hunting together and encountered ten spies from the East. Although they killed ten spies in the end, they also lost five people." He Kegang shook his head and said: "The last general is not worried. The few people who died thought that there seemed to be a lot more spies from Donglu recently! This is too frequent!"

"It would be strange if these people didn't come! Now that they have come, it's normal." Zu Dashou said casually: "At this time, Donglu doesn't have the strength to settle accounts with us for the time being. Why did your lord let us take this opportunity to repair Dalinghe City? If it weren’t for Qiu Hejia, the Dalinghe City would have been pruned long ago. However, now that Li Xin is here, the speed is much faster!”

"Why?" He Kegang said in surprise, "The commander-in-chief also found that Li Xin is a bit capable?"

"Li Xin is a bit capable, but this Qiu Hejia no longer dares to play tricks behind his back." Zu Dashou laughed loudly and said: "Last time I ordered someone to give the military order written by Li Xin Qiu Hejia, do you know how Qiu Hejia reacted? I couldn’t wait to send all kinds of materials used to build the city here. The speed was so fast that even the general was surprised! I didn’t expect this Qiu Hejia to be very excited. Pay attention to his nephew."

He Kegang smiled wryly when he heard the words, but he didn't expect Zu Dashou to mean this by being useful.He was about to say about Li Xin's use of guns, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back.

"By the way, you just said that Li Xin was hunting outside?" Zu Dashou suddenly thought of something.

"That's right, I went for a while today." He Kegang said again: "He asked the general for instructions, and the general let him go."

"Hmph, as long as he can repair Daling River City within two months, as long as he doesn't leave Daling River City, this general won't care what he is doing!" Zu Dashou said disdainfully: "I just received a secret report. It is said that a woman came to his barracks, dressed in filial piety. I don’t know why.”

"It seems that his future father-in-law died of illness in Shanhaiguan." He Kegang said hastily.

"That's a pity." Zu Dashou thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I heard that Qiu Hejia is planning to do some activities for his nephew! Now it's all right, even if it is an activity, he will not be able to participate in the imperial examination. Think about it His active mind has also faded, this old man, I'm afraid he will be disappointed this time."

"Marshal, his men killed ten Jian slaves. According to the logic, we should reward a hundred taels of silver! I wonder if we should pay this silver?" He Kegang said cautiously again.

"Your Majesty has decreed that among the frontier troops, if someone kills the Donglu soldiers, each will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Naturally, His Majesty's decree must be obeyed." Zu Dashou thought for a while, and said, "You ask him to pay one The merits will be credited, turn around and let someone send the money there!" Zu Dashou said without even thinking about it.

"Yes, the last general will do it." Although He Kegang was surprised that Zu Dashou was so happy, he didn't have any doubts at this time, and retreated.

"Father, why did you agree to He Kegang to give Li Xin the silver?" After He Kegang left, a young man appeared behind him, whoever it was if it wasn't Zu Zerun.

"What do you know? I am acting according to the rules. If I don't follow the rules, who will listen to us." Zu Dashou said dissatisfiedly: "This Qiu Hejia has given us an ultimatum. If Li Xin is here Injury, he will settle accounts with us."

"How can that old man help me Guan Ning cavalry?" Zu Zerun said disdainfully.

"Hmph, what do you know? Literati never use knives to kill people. He is in Jinzhou now, and we are in Dalinghe City. He single-handedly promoted Shi Dayong, who defends Songshan. He is also responsible for the materials needed for the construction of Dalinghe City now." Handle it. If he makes trouble here, you and my father and son will not even know how they died." Zu Dashou taught: "What He Kegang said just now is good, and now the spies of Donglu are getting more and more dead. There are too many, more and more frequently. I have to say that this Donglu Jiannu may have gone south."

"Didn't Master Supervisor say that Jiannu will not go south within two months?" Zu Zerun said nervously.

"Although that's the case, how can there be absolute time for this matter?" Zu Dashou shook his head and said, "Our lives are actually not in our own hands, but in the hands of Donglu. Come one day later, then we have a chance. If we come early, can our Guanning iron cavalry do it? Guanning iron cavalry is our ancestral home, and it is the most powerful weapon of Ming Dynasty to resist the Eastern captives going south. Once such a weapon With all the losses, how can we resist the Donglu's attack!" Zu Dashou said very vividly, but if Li Xin was here, he must be extremely contemptuous.

It is a fact that the Guanning iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty shocked the world. In fact, the weakness is not because the Houjin was restrained outside the pass. The Li Zicheng uprising could not shake the Ming Dynasty. Once the Guanning iron cavalry entered the pass, it was impossible for these rebels to stop it. Yes, outside the pass, the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry made great contributions to Daming, and also resisted the invasion of Houjin, and served as the magic needle of Dinghai, but in fact, because of its power, the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry was regarded as a treasure by the Ming Dynasty. How can such a treasure have any loss, it is best not to go to the battlefield, just stay in the city.As a deterrent, but actually!Elite soldiers are never trained, but fought.Only an army that has really fought on the battlefield can become an elite soldier, otherwise, it will eventually become a veteran soldier.

"Then let that kid stay in Dalinghe City safely?" Zu Zerun said dissatisfied, and he didn't know why he couldn't understand Li Xin.He only heard him say disdainfully: "Father, you don't know, those untouchables on the construction site now regard Li Xin as the Buddha of ten thousand families. He almost got a longevity tablet. Isn't it just a meal? He Li Xin How can Xin be so called?"

"Okay, now I just need him to build Dalinghe City for me on time." Zu Dashou pointed at Zu Zerun dissatisfied and said, "Remember, don't play tricks behind your back. But Even my father-in-law has passed away, and his unmarried wife just came to attend the funeral. What else do you want?"

"Wife who hasn't gotten married yet?" Zu Zerun's eyes lit up as if thinking of something.

"What do you want to do? He's Qiu Hejia's niece. If you annoy Qiu Hejia, I won't be able to keep you." Zu Dashou is someone who naturally understands what his son's hobbies are.Can't help exhorting.

"Look at what my father said, would my son be this kind of person?" Zu Zerun explained dissatisfied.

"Okay, you go back first! At this time, we are on the same boat as Li Xinnai. We need his money to speed up the construction of the city. If you mess with him, the Dalinghe City will probably be built. No. At that time, when Donglu Jiannu arrives, you and my father and son will die." Zu Dashou taught his son with a cold snort.

"Father, just rest assured. My son will never cause trouble for you." Zu Zerun said, patting his chest.His eyes rolled, but he said with a sneer in his heart: "If I don't make a move, someone will. Hehe, Li Xin, this time you have finally fallen into my hands. Let me put a big green hat on you first."

Li Xin, who was far away in the camp, did not expect that he would be framed by others, but was stunned by Dong Xiaowan's appearance in front of him. The so-called women should be pretty and filial.I have to say Dong Xiaowan's appearance at the moment, even Li Xin can't help but want a beast.

"Brother Li, won't you go south with Xiaowan?" Dong Fusheng's death hit Dong Xiaowan very hard. At this time, being in a different place made Dong Xiaowan more attached to Li Xin.

"I am a prisoner of the imperial court, so I can get away so easily." Li Xin shook his head and smiled wryly, "However, I have asked Zhao Guang to protect you going south."

"But?" Dong Xiaowan frowned.

"I heard that my mother-in-law is not in good health. You don't need to rush back when you return to Jiangnan this time. I will go to Jiangnan to find you soon." Li Xin thought for a while and calculated carefully. Will go to Jiangnan, and said: "If you can't run the shop at home, then don't run it. I think everything left by my father-in-law is enough for you to live for a while. When things settle down on my side, I will send someone to pick you up. Zhao Guangzhongyi, martial arts is extraordinary, this time when I return to Jiangnan, I will send 50 people to Jiangnan to protect you. Even if the world is in chaos, it doesn't matter."

"This, can this work?" Dong Xiaowan asked worriedly.

"Of course you can." Li Xin nodded and said, "Of course, if you are interested in doing business, you can continue to do it."

"Will it help Brother Li?" Dong Xiaowan asked in surprise.

But Li Xin said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you will be bored at home. Let you find something to pretend!" Li Xin shook his head. Whether business will help Li Xin, there is no doubt, but Dong Xiaowan is a businessman. material?Obviously this is not the case. If she had the material to do business, Dong Xiaowan in history would not have ended up in a dusty place with such a family fortune.

"En." Dong Xiaowan nodded, not knowing whether he agreed to Li Xin or not, even Li Xin didn't know what Dong Xiaowan was thinking at the moment.

"After a while, something important will happen in Liaodong. No matter what news you hear in Jiangnan, don't worry. Just wait for me." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "This matter is very important, don't forget it."

"What will happen in Liaodong?" Dong Xiaowan asked nervously, Bingxue smart.

"It's just that Donglu attacked Dalinghe City. I have arranged all these." Li Xinqiang said with a smile: "Although the matter is a bit complicated, but I have Jiang Yi and others to protect me, and you also know that with my own skills. Yes. Don’t worry, I naturally have a way to protect myself. After I get out of Liaodong, I will naturally send someone to pick you up in the south of the Yangtze River and your mother-in-law. Maybe I will give you a surprise.”

"I don't need any surprises, as long as you are safe." Dong Xiaowan looked shy, and gently leaned against Li Xin.Now for her, Li Xin is her heaven.

At dawn the next day, Li Xin personally sent Dong Xiaowan on the road, while Zhao Guang led fifty elite cavalry to escort Dong Xiaowan to the south.Almost all the Liaodong governor's guards were dispatched.

"Brother Zhao, Xiaowan will leave to Brother Zhao." Li Xin patted Zhao Guang on the shoulder and said.

"My lord, don't worry, as long as my subordinates are confident, I won't let my wife do anything." Zhao Guang clasped his hands and said loudly.

"Jiangnan will be peaceful in the next few years, but Huguang, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, etc. are not peaceful places. Be careful when walking." Li Xin carefully said: "There are not many cavalry in Jiangnan, you can Make more friends with heroes. Just in case, if you hear about me in Mobei in the future, you can come."

"My lord, don't worry, the villain will definitely protect the mistress." Zhao Guang said without thinking.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to stay here." Li Xin clenched his fists and said, "But here is a rare opportunity. Maybe my career will start here."

"My lord, take care of yourself." Zhao Guang thought for a while, and finally turned it into a sentence.

"My lord, it's getting late, and the mistress should be on her way. Mr. Dong's coffin is still in Shanhaiguan Yizhuang." Jiang Yi persuaded.

"Let's go!" Li Xin waved his hand, he was dressed in filial piety, with an indescribably sad face.It seems to be chasing something.

"Master." The carriage drove slowly, and suddenly the window opened, revealing Dong Xiaowan's face.Although it was far away, Li Xin still felt the reluctance in Dong Xiaowan's words.

"Let's go! Let's go back too!" Li Xin waited until the convoy disappeared completely in front of him, and then led everyone back to Dalinghe City. Here, he had to think about how to escape from this place of death.However, what he didn't know was that at the moment just now, Yiqi rushed out from the east gate and also galloped towards Shanhaiguan.
