Chapter 610 The Older the Jianghu, the Less Courageous
Longzhou, Qin Xianggong built his capital here, and it is also known as the first pass west of Chang'an.
Longzhou has a lot of water and woodland.
There are mountains, waters, and forests. This is a treasure land of geomantic omen, right?
But it became a good place to plunder.
Three big men approached from three directions, and the only direction was leading to the creek.
Li Jingye gnawed, then hiccupped, "Get lost."
The big man approaching behind said coldly: "This is Longzhou, if you kill a person and throw it outside at will, only a few scattered bones are left on the second day... If you want to die, I will help you!"
Another person laughed and said, "Yeah..."
Li Jingye stood up, threw out the leg bone in his hand, and the smiling person was hit with a face full of flowers... he even fainted.
Li Jingye drew his sword and asked leisurely, "How many people have you killed?"
It turned out to be a tough one... The remaining two big men looked dignified.
"Kill countless!"
"Then **** it!"
Horizontal knife dancing.
The setting sun occasionally passes through the gaps in the branches and leaves, reflecting on the horizontal knife.
The knife light flickers.
A sliver of the setting sun reflected on the face of a big man, full of panic.
Blood shot out, and Li Jingye strode forward.
Jia Ping'an often instilled some things in him, such as don't bully ordinary people, if you have the ability, you should bully those rich and powerful, and bully those fierce ones.
Brother is really good, bullying these people really makes me feel better.
The rest of the big man knelt down, "The good man, spare your life."
Li Jingye pointed at the big man who was knocked unconscious, "Go, tie him up."
The big man obediently **** his companion, and Li Jingye tied him up again, and prepared to throw him outside the mountain tomorrow. If someone saw him, he would naturally report to the authorities.
He slept soundly at night.
The big man tied to the tree heard the sound of snoring steadily, so he quietly took off his shoes, then slowly raised his feet above his head, and somehow managed to pull out the hairpin.
He reversed his foot, and immediately took hold of the hairpin.
After half an hour, the big man struggled out.
He moved his hands and quietly walked towards Li Jingye.
Hengdao and their knives were both held in Li Jingye's arms. The big man looked left and right, and raised his right fist cruelly.
The snoring stopped suddenly.
The big man looked at Li Jingye's super generous body...
What if you can't die with a single punch?
…
On the second day, Li Jingye woke up to the sound of birdsong.
He moved his body and felt energetic all over his body.
Another day full of energy.
Li Jingye closed his eyes and listened to the various movements in the forest.
Huh!
He bounced up suddenly, turned around and looked...
What about the two big guys who were tied up?
There is no rope under the tree.
The dead man... probably was dragged away by wild beasts.
people?
Li Jingye was hairy all over.
He looked around and saw a bird singing on a branch, full of energy.
"Where's my baggage?"
The weapon is held by him, so it is still there.
Can you afford it?
There is money and everything in the baggage.
Now…
Even Te Niang’s horse is gone.
Lian Teniang's other clouded leopard leg is also missing, that's the breakfast he prepared!
He frantically chased after it, but found nothing in the end.
Without money, he can't buy anything.
But I can hold on.
Li Jingye felt it was inappropriate.
Without salt he felt uncomfortable.
He found a village.
There are not many people in this village, but there are still village leaders.
"where from?"
Li Jingye was very hungry, so he brought a horizontal knife and a bow and arrow, and said in a panic: "He came out of Chang'an, and met robbers in the mountains, and his horse and money were taken away..."
Mura is looking at him with the kind of eyes that you take me for a fool.
"Where is the thief?"
"I killed one, and the remaining two ran away."
I'm afraid there is something wrong with this person.
Cun was winking, and several big men slowly approached.
A woman came back from the outside with a basket on her back, and when she saw Li Jingye, she said in surprise: "Such a strong man!"
Li Jingye turned around, feeling deep malice.
He was not afraid of reporting to the police, but he couldn't stand the embarrassment of being taken back to Chang'an.
He thought of his brother's words.
Women like sweet ones.
"Sister!"
The woman's face darkened.
wrong.
Brother said that women like to pretend to be tender.
"Sister."
The woman turned her anger into joy, and said to Fang Zheng: "Erlang, this man looks simple and honest, why don't I take him in first."
Li Jingye is a straightforward person at first glance, but he is carrying a horizontal knife and a bow and arrow!
Cunzheng Yao Erlang approached, "Auntie, this person is fierce."
The woman's name is Yao Wuniang. She has been widowed for several years. Although she is young, she can't stand her seniority! Even Yao Erlang is his nephew.
"Fierce fart!"
Yao Wuniang put her hips on her hips and shouted: "My old lady dared to kill wolves back then!"
Yao Erlang smiled wryly, "Auntie, he killed someone before!"
"Who saw it?"
After being a widow, it is reasonable to be matched by the government, but Yao Wuniang has a high status in the village, who would dare to give her a forced match?
Yao Wuniang asked, "What's your name?"
What should I say my name is?
Said that his real name would be suspected, and then he was brought back to Chang'an.
Li Jingye secretly made up his mind: I will not bow to Ah Weng, nor will I bow to death!
Then what is my name?
"My name is Jia Pingan."
There should be no doubt about this name, right?
"Jia Pingan, this name is not good, fake."
Yao Wuniang waved, "Follow me, there's something to eat."
Yao Wuniang is a widow, and there is a lot of work in the field this season. Li Jingye was kept busy for several days.
"The strength is great, and it is scary."
Yao Wuniang's eyes moved, as if water was about to drip.
Man, it’s better if you have more strength! Can work in the field, at night...
"Honestly not."
Li Jingye eats a lot, but he can't help but also cook a lot!
At night, he had a room by himself, and he snored loudly.
In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door.
Li Jingye said in a low voice: "Who?"
"I!"
Yao Wuniang's voice sounded rippling.
This kind of young man is not easy to catch.
She wore less clothes, and it was still a little cold in the middle of the night.
"What are you doing?"
I want to...
Yao Wuniang was angry.
"You open the door first."
Li Jingye opened the door, and threw himself into his arms in a ball of fire.
Ass shake?
Li Jingye thought of this subconsciously, then pushed Yao Wuniang out and closed the door.
On the second day, his treatment changed.
Eat worse than a dog, and work harder than a cow.
"Eat, eat, eat! If you eat again, report to the official!"
Li Jingye lay on the bed, thinking that it was time for him to go.
But no money!
This journey to the Western Regions is too far away, and it is impossible to stick to the ground by hunting.
But don't go...
It's even more annoying if you don't walk.
Yao Wuniang is not his type, otherwise he could just dump his ass.
To be a human being, we must have principles!
After several days of continuous work, Yao Wuniang's homework was finished.
"There is a mill in the village, go and grind the wheat."
The mill is to the west of the village, and Li Jingye went there carrying wheat on his back.
A group of people passed by the entrance of the village.
"Buy some dry food before leaving, wait..."
Jia Ping'an's eyes were dull.
The whole person is Spartan.
He brought people here along the mountain road. He wanted to go directly to the pass, but he didn't expect...
That body is too familiar.
Actually working here.
Jia Pingan got off his horse and followed quietly.
"who?"
Yao Erlang came with people.
Jia Pingan went straight over.
Yao Erlang was about to lose his temper, but Bao Dong said coldly: "Officials do things."
Yao Erlang shivered.
Jia Pingan quietly followed behind Li Jingye.
"That man... why is he following Jia Pingan?"
"What's his name?" Bao Dong was confused.
Yao Erlang said: "He said his family name is Jia Ping'an."
Bao Dong's face turned dark.
Arriving at the mill, Li Jingye pulls the mill, and Yao Wuniang releases the wheat.
Yao Wuniang said with a dark face, "The door is open at night."
Li Jingye shook his head firmly, "No."
It's not my job, and I don't even have the energy to shake my ass.
Yao Wuniang sneered, "I know that you killed someone. You escaped from Chang'an, but you haven't done anything wrong. The world is so big, where is your shelter? If you don't follow me, you will report to the police when you turn around!"
Li Jingye was numb, "I'm throwing **** with you...my family won't agree with me marrying you, so give up."
Yao Wuniang sneered, "How rich is your family? You're so arrogant! I'm not bragging, my family not only has a field, but also owns a mill, and I can earn a lot of money every year with the mill."
"My family is rich."
Li Jingye pushed the mill, feeling that Yao Wuniang was thinking too much.
But what do I do?
At this time, he still has not wavered in his determination to go to the Western Regions.
"How much money can your family have?" Yao Wuniang scolded: "I'll let you see the money I saved later. As long as you follow me, you can settle down here later, and you don't have to worry about being caught..."
Then I might as well go back to Chang'an!
Li Jingye didn't want to talk to this woman at all.
"Say! Never from?"
Yao Wuniang threatened: "If you don't tell me, report to the officials!"
Li Jingye sighed, "It's time to go again."
In the past few days, he stole some salt, no, he got it from his own work.
With this salt, he can persist for hundreds of miles, and then find a way to make money.
That's all.
"Ahem!"
The familiar voice made Li Jingye relax.
"That... elder sister, you are a bit older, and old cows can't eat tender grass."
Yao Wuniang was furious. When she turned around and saw a strange man, she screamed, "Where did the savage come from! Erlang! Erlang!"
Yao Erlang squatted beside him, with a wry smile on his face, "Auntie, don't move."
"Why can't I move?"
Yao Wuniang was furious, "What sort of **** is he?"
Jia Pingan walked into the mill, "You said that you are not good at what you do. You just want to run away from home. If you run away from home, you should run away from home. You actually work here...Look, you are ashamed, sallow and emaciated."
"Brother."
Li Jingye was discouraged.
He specially chose a hidden route, but unexpectedly he was found.
"Come back with me!"
Jia Ping'an turned around, and Yao Wuniang asked, "Is he not a murderer?"
"no."
Jia Pingan shook his head.
Yao Wuniang rushed in.
"You lied to me!"
"You stayed at my house for several days, how do you pay for it?"
Jia Ping'an was speechless.
Li Jingye came out later with a blank expression.
"He can't go!"
Yao Wuniang chased him out, pulled Jia Pingan and said, "He ate my food and lived in my bed. He is my man! No one can take him away!"
This woman is quite heroic, but...
"He is not your man, if you continue to pester him, it will only bring you disaster."
How could Yao Wuniang believe, "Why isn't he my man? He has no home..."
"He has a family."
This baby's home is in Chang'an, a top wealthy family.
"You...then he doesn't want to go?"
"He has to go." Jia Ping'an felt that it was a tragedy for this woman to fall in love with Li Jingye. "He is a tragedy for you. Forgetting him will only benefit you."
The woman watched them go out, and suddenly shouted: "Jia Pingan, if you want to come, come directly next time, I will wait for you!"
Jia Ping'an's face turned dark.
"Brother..."
Li Jingye said blushingly: "At that time, I thought the name would be easy to pronounce."
"Damn you... If someone gets caught, and I sign up later, my reputation will not be enough!"
Jia Pingan gritted his teeth, "I'll deal with you when I return to Chang'an!"
Everyone found a place in the city to settle down, took a bath and changed clothes, and then had a full meal.
Li Jingye drank drunk, "Brother, why does Ah Weng just care about his own reputation and refuse to let me join the army?"
This baby is not stupid, but he just refuses to express his guess to hurt his grandfather's heart.
Jia Pingan took a sip of wine, waved his hand, and Bao Dong and others went out.
He looked at Li Jingye, "It's not just a reputation. Yingying Gong is the number one general in the Tang Dynasty after Li Weigong. His prestige in the army is too high, even if he is in charge of Shangshu Province at this moment. You are extremely brave, tell me, what does this mean?"
Li Jingye stayed...
"But…"
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Jia Pingan snatched the wine glass from his hand, "Have a good sleep, and I'll figure out a way later."
Depressed Li Jingye's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Jia Ping'an's hand, "Brother, do you have a solution?"
"let go!"
Jia Pingan frowned.
"Grandfather is stubborn, and he won't go back on what he decides, so I ran out." Li Jingye was a little sad, "Brother, what can you do to make grandfather change his mind?"
"Just wait."
…
Back to Chang'an City, everything was as usual.
Li Jingye first went to Qianniuwei to plead guilty.
"Twenty sticks!"
Wu Weihong said coldly: "This is His Majesty's order."
Jia Ping'an is at Li Ji's place right now.
"Prince of the United Kingdom, you are born to be dedicated to the battlefield!"
"The old man knows."
Li Ji's eyes are warm, "Dedication is boundless. If it was twenty years earlier, he would have been an invincible warrior who could run rampant in the world. But...now that the Tang Dynasty is stable, unless the old man dies at this moment, he cannot join the army if he is dedicated."
This is a conspiracy!
Jia Pingan raised his head and smiled slightly, "What the British Duke is worried about is His Majesty's suspicion..."
"The emperor's suspicion is instinctive, and Qin Huang, Han and Wu are all like this."
Li Ji said in a deep voice: "You and Jingye are as close as brothers, you should persuade him."
"But this matter has become a knot in the heart of professionalism!"
Jia Pingan felt that Lao Li should be worried.
The warmth in Li Ji's eyes dissipated.
No matter how good your pen is, you will be helpless in the face of such a situation.
Li Ji suddenly smiled, "You seem to be confident, but you have a solution?"
"Expropriation!"
Jia Pingan stood up and said goodbye.
Li Ji sat there in a daze.
After a long time, he clapped his hands and said, "Why didn't the old man think of it?"
"Come here."
When Li Ji was rarely excited, someone got Ma Qiang and immediately played a trick.
Ma Chan's pole is straight and sometimes bent, and the sound is powerful when sweeping.
"Ah Ong!"
Twenty sticks down, Li Jingye is fine.
Li Ji ignored him.
Li Jingye looked itchy, "Ah Weng, I will practice with you."
Ma Long stopped.
The little official next to him praised: "What a horse."
Li Jingye said: "Ah Weng, are you afraid that you won't be able to beat me?"
Li Ji's face was calm.
"Awong, actually... last time you said that after the age of forty, you are often unable to do what you want..."
Li Ji glanced at the little official.
Big brother’s secret is about to be heard by me.
The little official turned around and left.
He went out with an itchy heart, and the officials outside the door waved: "Get out!"
You can also listen to the gossip of the British Duke?
The little official was resentful.
"roll!"
This is Li Ji's roar!
The officials also got lost in despair.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
"One famous general in three generations will be protected by the gods, and if he appears again... I will naturally die well, but you will most likely have to die violently!"
Li Ji thumped hard, and was sitting on the steps tired and out of breath.
Li Jingye knelt under the steps, bowing his head.
Li Ji thumped his waist with his backhand, "I have killed too many people in this life. In this **** troubled world, if you don't kill people, people will kill you.
In the chaotic world, people were like dogs, Zhai Rang caused chaos near his hometown, looting and killing people, doing all kinds of evil. The old man does not have an army in his hands, so he can only join Zhai Rang's army, and then advise him to keep him away from his hometown...to harm other places.
So the hometown is peaceful, but other places are devastated because of this. This old man is one of the sins! "
"Secondly, Zhang Xutuo, the general of the Sui Army, led the crusade, and Zhai Rang wanted to flee in panic. It was the old man who dissuaded him and led the army to defeat Zhang Xutuo..."
Li Ji's eyes were bleak, "I also contributed to the collapse of the former Sui Dynasty. Whether it was good or evil, I still don't know."
"There were floods in Shandong and other places, and countless people starved to death. The old man suggested to capture Liyang, open a granary to recruit warriors, and save the people... This is the old man's atonement."
"In the troubled times that followed, the old man led the army to kill countless people...the corpses are everywhere!"
"Look at those famous generals, whether it's Wu An Jun Bai Qi or Zhou Bo Zhou Yafu, they killed Ying Ye, but their fate was bleak." Li Ji suddenly laughed, "There should be retribution for killing so many people. Look at those people...or die themselves, Or the descendants will die. This old man will probably have a good death in this life. But if the old man has a good death, the old man's children and grandchildren..."
Li Jingye looked up, tears streaming down his face.
"Ah Weng, I misunderstood you."
Li Ji touched the top of his head and sighed: "This old man has seen troubled times in this life, but now it is a prosperous world. In troubled times, human life is worse than dogs. Those who kill people like pigs and dogs seem to be beautiful. How many of them will end up well in the end?"
"The old man didn't let you serve in the army because he was worried that you were too straightforward. If the old man is here, he can still protect you. When the old man is gone, you are in a dilemma. Maybe the retribution of the old man's murder will be on you."
"Aon, I see."
Li Jingye discovered for the first time that his grandfather was getting old.
The wrinkles on the face, the white hair on the sideburns...
"Ah Weng, I won't make you angry anymore, okay?"
"Good!" Li Ji touched the top of his head, "Xiao Jia thought of an idea for you..."
"What?"
Li Jingye immediately beamed with joy, "Brother said on the way that he had a solution, but he refused to tell me."
This grandson!
Li Ji smiled, "I have thought about it a lot, but I didn't think of Xiao Jia's method. The old man asked him why, is the old man old and dull? He told the old man that it is not old, but that the old man has experienced too many human affairs. Experience The more you have, the more fear you will have, and you will not think of those choices for many things, hahahaha!"
Experience is a double-edged sword in many cases. On the one hand, it allows you to calmly face the ups and downs of life, and on the other hand, it can also make you look forward and backward.
"What method?"
"The general will lead the army, and the accompanying staff will be able to conscript. Report the selected person to His Majesty, and if there is no objection, they will naturally follow the expedition. As a civil servant, you can be promoted after the expedition, but you will not be contaminated with military power. Wonderful! Haha Ha ha!"
Li Jingye couldn't help laughing happily.
Li Ji looked at him, and said with relief: "Xiao Jia said, if you are a civil servant with such a straightforward personality, even if you become a prime minister... the emperor will not doubt you, so let's do it."
…
Ask for votes!
