Chapter 275
When Luo Yi and his son led three or four hundred remnant soldiers back into Yongnu County, the general led five hundred Youzhou cavalry to escort them, and finally retreated safely into the county.

Li Chongjiu and Yu Chigong led an army of [-] to fight under the city.

Luo Yi led the generals to stand under the city. Luo Jun felt discouraged when he saw Li Chongjiu's subordinates provocatively provoking off the court.

And Luo Yi himself was even more annoyed. Yesterday, he was still the lord of Zhuo County, but today, he has handed over everything to Li Chongjiu.And Luo Yi punched heavily on the crenel, without saying a word, his eyes were completely red.

Seeing that Luo Yi was unable to defend the city, Li Chongjiu did not force his subordinates to attack the city. After leading his troops around the city, he withdrew his troops and returned to Ji County.

After arriving in Ji County, the city is already stable, but the officials who were looted by Luo Yi at the beginning, the nobles of Zhuo County, were rescued by Li Chongjiu.Especially Lu Ziqian, when he saw General Xu Lang in the army, who was the famous Li Chongjiu, he was stunned.

The army triumphantly returned to Zhuojun. Li Chongjiu rode on a horse and led the army into the city. However, he saw on the road that the people of Zhuojun Shixiang were all lining the road in the city to greet each other.

Li Chongjiu was pleasantly surprised when he saw that Su Su had calmed down the chaos in Ji County and won the hearts of the people in one day.It turned out that within one day, Su Su put down the rebellion in Ji County, and organized a manpower to extinguish all the places where Luo Yi set fire before his departure.After doing this, Su Su and sent people to calm down the hearts of the people, strictly enforced military discipline, and the soldiers did not commit any crimes when the army passed by.

The people of Zhuojun thought that a rebellion would cause the city to be destroyed, but seeing Su Su's orderly handling, they all had a good impression of Li Chongjiu at the moment, and Li Chongjiu defeated Gao Kaidao and rescued the people in Anle County before. What's more, Li Chongjiu won the hearts of the people as soon as he entered Ji County.

At present, Li Chongjiu dismounted from his horse and accepted the congratulations from the people of Shixiang. The Fan generals and Fan troops under his command also felt honored together.

The people of Zhuojun came to the side of the road to watch what Li Chongjiu, who became famous at a young age, looked like. Immediately, the side of the road was full of people, more crowded than temple fairs.

In the corner of the crowd beside the street, Qu Yanran and Yunniang are both wearing a fence, hiding their faces, watching the past wrapped in sheepskin, holding a horn bow, left lapels open, braided or Huren cavalry with loose hair.

Yun Niang softly said to Qu Yanran: "When Luo Yi entered the city, the common people hid in their houses and did not dare to go out. The huge Jixian County is like a dead city, but today, when this kid enters the city, the common people are waiting for you. It is said that this kid is really lucky, or he has won the hearts of the people. Hey, look, there are people with good deeds, who set up incense tables and burn incense to welcome them, this kid."

Qu Yanran smiled lightly, glanced at them, and couldn't help smiling at the people holding incense on the other side of the street, saying: "This means that those who win the hearts of the people win the world."

At this moment, a large wool banner came slowly from the street. Amidst the crowds, Qu Yanran and the others could only see the top of the banner, which looked like a sail from a distance, walking on the sea.

"It's Ambassador Li!"

The common people were suddenly enthusiastic, and they pressed on the sidelines together.Qu Yanran stroked her chest, but showed a bit of nervousness, standing where she was, letting the crowd on the left and right squeeze past her.

Yunniang couldn't help sighing when she saw it, and then she saw a young man wearing a white wool cloak and blue silk and bright armor inside, riding a big chestnut horse, walking slowly.Immediately, all the people cast their eyes on each other.

Chunxi Dongqing, who was standing behind Yunniang, was dumbfounded.Chunxi turned her head and said to Dongqing: "Dongqing, am I dreaming?"

Dongqing said: "Chunxi, I was about to say this to you, otherwise you can pinch me."

"Okay, pinch me too."

Ah, the two maids pinched each other, and then looked at Li Chongjiu above. They glanced at each other at this moment. It was hard to imagine that Brother Li, who was talking and laughing with the two of them all day long in Mingyue Tower, who had no airs, actually It's Li Chongjiu.

"Miss Yun, what's going on?"

"Shut up and talk about it when you go back. You can't say a word now," Yunniang said, then looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "This kid, what do you say, he looks like a prince. In terms of appearance, he is nothing more than a pawn. Even Chunxi Dongqing doesn't think he has the demeanor of a superior person."
Chunxi Dongqing smiled awkwardly when she heard this.
Qu Yanran said with a smile: "Mother Yun, you have said enough, I know you are complaining for me, but Brother Li does have some advantages, so don't belittle him like this."

Yunniang sighed and said: "Miss, you are right. The situation of people is really unpredictable. Back then, when I was beside King Qi, I saw him as just a follower. How could I expect that he is a prince today? Miss, you have eyes."

Qu Yanran lowered her head and said: "Okay, let's go back, go and tell the owner of Mingyue Tower to prepare a carriage, we will leave the city overnight, I will not stay in Zhuo County again."

"Miss, what are you?"

Qu Yanran revealed an elegant and proud expression, and said, "I've already made up my mind, so let's leave it at that."

After Li Chongjiu led the army into the city, he immediately went to the government office to rest, and then came to the arsenal in the south of the city.This arsenal is the place where Yang Guangzheng Liao hoarded armor, including countless armors and weapons. The first thing Li Chongjiu got when he got Ji County was of course to inspect his arsenal and count the biggest spoils of war.

Seeing Li Chongjiu's relatives coming, the original arsenal order in the city stepped forward with an apologetic smile and said: "I have seen Li Shijun, and I have been waiting for a long time."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Very well, please open the warehouse door, please."

The arsenal order smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's a shame to say that you are a low-ranking officer, but a low-ranking person can't open the arsenal. There are three locks in this arsenal, one for the county lieutenant, one for the low-ranking officer, and one for Xue Gong who stayed behind in Zhuojun County." , the three locks must be unlocked together before they can be put into storage."

Before Li Chongjiu could speak, Wang Mahan yelled angrily behind him: "You dog skin, just lock it, you still come to make noise, just break it open."

Hearing this, the arsenal order said with a wry smile: "Yes, this general, but this lock is very strong, and it cannot be broken in a short time. Since it is the envoy's order, I will break it right away."

"Wait," Li Chongjiu said, thinking for a while, and said immediately: "Don't rush to break the lock, I will go to Xue Gong's mansion and get the key. Fourth Uncle, I would like to trouble you to go to Bencheng County Let's talk."

Su Su agreed immediately.
On the other hand, Ying Hefu, Er Tuo, Yan Yelie and the others, who had been together with Li Chongjiu to see how many spoils of war, but because of such a hindrance, I don't know why Li Chongjiu did so.Right now Ji County is under control, and Li Chongjiu alone holds the power to kill and plunder the people in the city. If you want the key, just send someone to Xue Shixiong’s mansion to get it. If you don’t, just kill them all. Why bother Could it be that he took off his pants and farted.

But the complaints belonged to the complaints, and the generals did not dare to criticize Li Chongjiu face to face, so they followed Li Chongjiu to Xue's residence.
At that moment, Li Chongjiu, all the generals, and hundreds of cavalry came to the gate of Xue's mansion. Li Chongjiu got off his horse, looked at the bewildered gatekeeper in front of the mansion, and said, "Please tell me, Li Chongjiu, the governor of Shanggu County, Come and pay homage to Xue Gong in person!"

After the famous general heard the words, his expression changed immediately, so he hurried in to report.Not long after, more than a dozen Qubu soldiers in the mansion came out with knives, guns and sticks, and two men each held a spear, like door gods on the left and right, standing on both sides of the gate, and then a man in his 30s stood up and said: : "I'm the master of the Xue family, Wanshu, I don't know who is Li Shijun."

Li Chongjiu stepped forward and said, "I am."

Xue Wanshu was surprised when he saw Li Chongjiu's appearance clearly, but the expression flashed by.At that moment, the other party pretended to be a stranger to Li Chongjiu, and said: "I heard that Li Shijun came, and my father was sick in bed and couldn't see the guests. Please let Li Shijun go back."

This is the closed door.

Er Tuo sneered at the moment and said: "Are all the Han people so ostentatious? I just set a fire here, and Xue Gong broke out in a cold sweat, and he recovered from his illness."

"Bold!" The two men behind Xue Wanshu who looked similar to him came forward with spears.

One person said: "My Xue family is also something you can insult."

Xue Wanshu stretched out his hand, and said to Li Chongjiu: "These two are my disciples, Wan Jun and Wan Che, who have never been ignorant of etiquette. Please forgive me."

Li Chongjiu smiled, cupped his hands and said, "It's because I have no right to serve you. Since Mr. Xue is seriously ill, then I will visit Mr. Xue at the mansion in person. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Brother can't."

Xue Wanshu also showed a embarrassed expression, but he still said: "Okay, I will inform my father and see what he means."

Not long after, Xue Wanshu came out and said, "Father, Li Shijun's request has been granted."

At that moment Li Chongjiu nodded and led thirty soldiers to the door, while the rest stayed outside.

Xue Mansion is not big, Xue Wanshu led the way, Li Chongjiu went straight into the atrium and entered the house, and saw a man in his 50s lying on the bed, looking carefully at the place.

Li Chongjiu also looked back, this well-known and well-known general who stayed behind on the Sui side, now he is only half breathed.

Their eyes met, and Li Chongjiu bowed at once, and said: "My Li Chongjiu pays homage to Xue Gong."

After Li Chongjiu spoke, Xue Shixiong didn't speak, but closed his eyes.

Neither the other party nor Li Chongjiu spoke, the sandalwood stove in front of him was filled with smoke, and only the sound of Xue Shixiong's somewhat heavy breathing remained in the room.

Outside the house, Li Chongjiu's soldiers paced anxiously.Er Tuo, Wang Mahan, and Ying Hefu stood under the steps of Xue's mansion, confronting Xue's sons.

After a long time, Xue Shixiong opened his eyes and said: "Here is the key, Li Shijun takes it."

After finishing speaking, Xue Shixiong turned around and covered his head with the quilt.
