Chapter 375
Seeing that Yang Ehuang was silent, Qu Yanran smiled, she had seen the look in the eyes of Mr. Li looking at Yang Ehuang, it seemed that there was a phoenix begging for a phoenix.

Although this Mr. Li Erlang is not the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty, but at a young age, he has already led the army of Li and Tang to conquer the north and south, defeating the old students of the Song Dynasty, and defeating Xue Ju again.

Among the world, if you talk about young heroes, besides Li Chongjiu, it should be Li Shimin.

Therefore, Qu Yanran thought that if Yang Ehuang could marry Li Shimin, she would be a good match, but the two had an enmity with each other. Qu Yanran didn't understand Yang Ehuang's thoughts, so she didn't explain Li Shimin's pursuit.

to go or not to go?
At this time, Yang Ehuang's eyes were slightly blurred. Yes, Guanzhong is better than Luoyang, but between Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, it's just fifty steps and a hundred steps.

Although the world is big, the Great Sui Dynasty is a thing of the past, and it is different wherever you go.

Qu Yanran saw that Yang Ehuang was looking out of the window in a daze, and then saw a four-cornered sachet on the table.Qu Yanran saw that although the sachet was not expensive, but there were obvious traces of caress on the surface, it seemed that it was a personal item that Yang Ehuang had used for a long time.

In the deep boudoir, it is not surprising to see a sachet, either containing spices, or some items from her daughter's house, and the sachet that Qu Yanran clearly saw seemed to have a sharp object in it.

Qu Yanran couldn't help picking it up and looking at it, she put it in her hand, but she couldn't help being surprised.

Originally, the inside of the sachet was not belonging to the daughter's house, but a steel arrowhead, with a blood groove on the arrowhead, suddenly in the boudoir, Qu Yanran couldn't help being surprised to see this murderous thing.

Qu Yanran saw it with her own eyes, saw the arrowhead and cut off a small section of the arrow shaft, and there was a line of small characters written on the arrow shaft. Seeing this song, Yanran suddenly raised her head.

Yang Ehuang felt something strange, but seeing Qu Yanran was holding an arrowhead in her forehand, she couldn't help reaching out to touch her waist, and the sachet was indeed not on her body.

Qu Yanran saw that the small characters written on the shaft of the arrow were Li Chongjiu.

Qu Yanran's heart suddenly changed. There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, but Yang Ehuang knows a few people named Li Chongjiu.

When she and Li Chongjiu were together in Mingyue Tower for a month, she recognized his handwriting, and these three characters were obviously written by him.

I remember that Li Chongjiu said at the time that he was a martial artist, and the big characters were not complete. The three characters of Li Chongjiu were crookedly written with a brush, which is really not flattering.It's no wonder that when the pipa was playing, the writing on the paper was so bad that it was almost thrown away.

Li Chongjiu was accompanied by Prince Qi's mansion back then, and Princess Changle was a guest of Prince Qi's mansion, so he must know this person.That's right, Princess Changle knows that someone helped him catch the knife at King Qi's pipa shop, how could she not know that the person who caught the knife was Li Chongjiu.

The two had known each other for a long time, but now Yang Ehuang kept this arrow shaft as a personal thing, how could Qu Yanran still not understand her thoughts, no wonder she looked down on the heroic Li Erlang, even in Chang'an and Luoyang Go, it turns out that she has long wanted to belong to her.

Seeing Qu Yanran holding the arrowhead, Yang Ehuang thought for a while, and explained: "Sister, five years ago, in Yanmen, my father and I were surrounded by 20 Turkic cavalry in Fenyang Palace. Together we broke out and asked for help. On the way, I was ambushed by Turkic cavalry, and a Turkic man climbed onto my carriage. Fortunately, this man rescued me with arrows, so I was safe."

"The grace of saving my life is unforgettable, so I keep this arrowhead by my side all the time, first as a token, and second, to pray that he will be safe."

The two met when he was in his infancy, and they had the grace to save his life, Qu Yanran tremblingly said: "It turns out that the person who saved my sister is the current governor of Youzhou."

"En." Yang Ehuang nodded, but when Qu Yanran raised her head and looked at herself in a daze, her wrist trembled slightly.

"Sister, what's wrong with you, why is your face so pale?"

Qu Yanran forced a smile and said, "Maybe it's a little cold, sister, I feel a little unwell."

Yang Ehuang said with concern: "Sister..."

"It's okay, I'll just lie down."

After finishing speaking, Qu Yanran put down the sachet in her hand, turned around and walked out of the door of the wing room, and stayed in a secluded place where no one was there, leaning on the roof, shrugging her shoulders, she couldn't hold back her tears like rain.

Li Yang didn't know when it was raining like a waterfall.

In Duke Wei's mansion, there was a faint scent of sandalwood on the tip of his nose.

Li Chongjiu woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw himself on a warm bed, with a green tent hanging high, and a sandalwood box with a dragon head, and sandalwood smoke was rising densely.

There was the sound of rain, and Li Chongjiu pinched his forehead. After arriving in Liyang City for the past few days, Li Mi treated Li Chongjiu very kindly, with a small banquet every day and a big banquet every two days. In the forest of wine and meat, it is also very unbearable.

During the banquet, Li Chongjiu had no way to talk deeply with the senior generals and officials of the Wagang Army, but he got acquainted in front of them and matched the people with the information on the paper.

After Li Chongjiu got up, someone brought ginseng soup to sober up. In the past few days in Weigong's mansion, Li Chongjiu lived very comfortably, but at the same time, he also saw how luxurious the life of the Wagang Army was.Fortunately, Li Mi was originally a son of a noble family, and he knew how to restrain himself under luxury. As for the generals of the Wagang Army, they have not won the world yet, but each of them seems to have become a marquis of ten thousand households.

So even if Li Mi is still there, how can the Wagang Army be supported? Li Chongjiu can't help but think so.

While Li Chongjiu was drinking ginseng soup, the guards outside reported that Wang Junkuo asked to see him.

Li Chongjiu got up immediately, put on his clothes, saw Wang Junkuo entering, and immediately said: "See you, Second Uncle."

Wang Junkuo waved his hand, signaling to Li Chongjiu not to be too polite, and after sitting down, he said with a serious face, "Xiaojiu has something serious."

Seeing Wang Junkuo coming in person, Li Chongjiu knew something important would happen, so he asked, "What's the matter, Second Uncle?"

Wang Junkuo said: "Xu Shiji sent his confidants to tell me that Li Yuan's Erlang Lord Qin Wang Li Shimin secretly came to Liyang, and entered the mansion last night to have a secret business with Duke Wei."

Li Chongjiu thought for a while, and said: "Li Shimin, there is no doubt that he is here to be a lobbyist. Li Mi is not a few words, someone who can move lightly, what does Li Shimin have here?"

Wang Junkuo stroked his beard and said solemnly: "If the King of Qin came, it would be fine, but when Wei Gong met with the King of Qin that day, he deliberately sent someone away to inspect the city, obviously he didn't want me to know about this important matter. "

Li Chongjiu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he secretly thought it was bad, and transferred Wang Junkuo away, which shows that Li Mi has a ghost in his heart.

Li Chongjiu said to Wang Junkuo: "Since Xu Shiji ordered someone to tell you that his heart is for us, I can secretly message him to see what he wants."

Wang Junkuo hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard Zhou's loud voice saying, "Duke Wei is here."

Li Chongjiu, Wang Junkuo, and Wang Junkuo looked at each other, and they got up together to meet Li Mi in front of the door.

Li Mi was still dressed in the feather fan scarf, and when he saw Li Chongjiu, he said happily: "My dear brother, you are sober, huh? General Wang, you are here too."

Li Chongjiu and Wang Junkuo couldn't figure out whether Li Mi really didn't know beforehand, or if he didn't know that Wang Junkuo was here.

The opponent's city is deep, and it's not something the two of them can tell from their faces.Li Chongjiu said: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your concern. I slept very well. If Dou Jiande in Youzhou didn't force me, I really want to stay here for another month."
Li Mi was slightly displeased, and said: "My virtuous brother, why is there such a haste? You and I have known each other since we were young. In the past few years, the world has been separated from each other, and it is so easy to have a day together. Why bother to leave. Don't worry, if Dou Jiande commits any misconduct, you If I attack from the north to the south, I will break it."

Li Chongjiu laughed, and said nothing now.

Li Mi said: "Today I am swimming with my younger brother, come with me."

After speaking, Li Mi took Li Chongjiu's hand and went out together. Before leaving, Wang Junkuo gave Li Chongjiu a careful look.

Outside the gate of the mansion, ox carts have been prepared long ago, and riding in ox carts is a legacy of the Wei and Jin gentry.In the Qin and Han Dynasties, horse-drawn carriages were still valued by scholars. According to historical records, in the early Han Dynasty, due to the exhaustion of national power, the emperor's carriage could not use four horses of the same coat color, and the generals could only ride in ox carts.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the gentry began to like to use ox carts. People at that time liked to talk about metaphysics, and the slow-moving ox carts provided a leisurely environment for those who talked about metaphysics, so they were very popular.

For example, Li Mi and Li Chongjiu, the bullock carts that they are riding outside now have two shafts and two wheels, driven by four oxen, and the open view is unobstructed.If it weren't for the coir raincoat, Li Mi's wide robe with big sleeves, and the feather fan and scarf standing on top of the bullock cart, it would have been very appropriate for the occasion.

Li Mi invited Li Chongjiu to go out, not knowing what interest he was in, and regardless of the heavy rain, he drove to the bank of the Yellow River outside Liyang City under the escort of hundreds of personal guards.

The Yellow River was surging, and Li Mi and Li Chongjiu said as if pointing the country: "My dear brother, you see that Liyang is adjacent to the Yongji Canal in the west and the Yellow River in the east. The water transportation is convenient. The Sui Dynasty set up official warehouses here, and all the grain and millet harvested in Hebei are garrisoned. It is located in Cangcheng in the distance, so the folks have clouds, Liyang, and Kyushu."

Li Chongjiu saw the Yellow River rushing by, so he didn't know what Li Mila came here to say, but he knew how rich Liyang Cang was. Dou Jiande got the Liyang warehouse and harvested all of it in Shandong, and the grain and grass in the warehouse city were finally used in the 20th year of Zhenguan. The censor reported to Li Shimin that the grain and grass in the Liyang warehouse had been used in Guanzhong, but it has not been used up to now.

Compared with it, the granary in Zhuo County that I took with great difficulty, and the granary in Taiyuan presented by Pei Ji when Li Yuan was in Jinyang, the gap is really not that big.

No wonder the Wagang Army captured Liyang Cang, and after returning to Luocang, they did not want to defend the counties in Hebei and Henan in order to obtain grain and rice, because the grain and rice in the second warehouse were enough to support the army, and there was an endless supply.

Li Chongjiu knew that Li Mi would not say these words for no reason, so he said immediately: "This is a gift from heaven, the foundation of a king and hegemony. Wei Gonggong can take advantage of this to make progress, and choose the best and strongest refugees from Hebei and Henan as his army, so as to make a comeback."

Li Chongjiu really doesn't know what Li Shimin used to shake Li Mi. After all, it is very different from the history. With Li Yangcang in hand, Li Mi will not give up.

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Li Mi heaved a long sigh and said: "Well said, you know this truth, my brother, and I also know it, but there are a bunch of ignorant ordinary people who can't understand it."
