Chapter 7 Chapter Seven Brothers

Suizhou, Governor's Mansion. The hall is full of white flags, with a big "Dian" character in the middle. Li Jiyun was dressed as a filial son, wearing hemp clothes, tied with hemp rope, and wearing a filial belt on his head. With red eyes, he threw the last golden scorpion into the brazier, and slowly stood up in the ashes flying like a butterfly. Li Pilu, who was also dressed as a filial son Hastily stepped forward to help. Li Jiyun turned around and looked around at the people standing in the hall. In addition to the governor of Suizhou and his cousin Li Pilu next to him, there are also officials of all sizes in the hall, such as Chu Yuntian in Suizhou Zhizhong, Wu Youdao in Biejia, and Hua Xiaoliu in Bingcao. .

With tears in his eyes, Li Jiyun clasped his fists and said: "my father mistakenly fell into the villain's scheme and died in battle. I, Li Jiyun, was in a panic and fell into such a difficult situation. You adults are still so loyal to my Li family. Li Jiyun is really grateful. Jiyun swore in front of my father's spirit today that Li Jiyun will avenge his father's death! I will definitely take back Li's family. I also hope that all of you will help Jiyun. Sharing wealth and glory, if there is any act of ungratefulness, the heaven and the earth will punish it!" All civil and military officials bowed together and said: "I would like to follow the orders of the yamen, advance and retreat as one, and live and die together!"

Li Pilu quickly said: "Yanei, we are all from the same family of the Li family, from Xiazhou. We share honor and disgrace, and share life and death. That is our duty. The death of Mr. Li Guangrui is a bloody feud in the Yameni, and it is also the death of my family in Suizhou. The great enmity of my family, I, Suizhou, and I share the same hatred, and there is no one willing to submit to the command of Ya Nei and revive the prestige of my Li family." Li Jiyun held his hand and said gratefully: "Cousin, my father did not misunderstand you. My cousin is really loyal to my father and son. I borrow this bowl of wine from my cousin to respect my cousin and all the generals. Please drink to the full." This cup."

Li Duanyun leaned over to pick up the wine bowl from the table, all civil and military officials shouted loudly, they all drank a bowl of wine, Li Pilu put down the wine bowl, then cut a piece of venison, and presented it to Li Jiyun's plate courteously, respectfully Said in a loud voice: "please sit down in the yamen. When it comes to personal friendship, the low-ranking is the cousin of the yamen, but when it comes to public office, the yamen is the boss of the lowly. Now Mr. Li Guangrui has passed away early. My Li family in Yinzhou, everyone respects the yamen from top to bottom. Order, it is good for the yamen to call the humble official by his first and last name, there is no need to address him as a cousin, which breaks the rules of superiority and inferiority."

Inspector Wu Youdao hurriedly said: "Yes, although Master Li Guangrui died and Xiazhou fell into the hands of Yang Hao, in our hearts, the real masters of the party are still Master Li Guangrui and Master Li Jiyun. There is no need to be so polite in the Yamen, we belong to the Yamen Subordinates, not guests. Now that there is a crisis everywhere, we should discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible to overcome the current difficulties." Li Jiyun said: "My lords, please sit down." Everyone sat down at the table, Chu Yuntian said, "If you kill one thousand, you will lose eight hundred. Although our Li family has suffered a few defeats, is it true that Yang Hao is exhausted? In my opinion, It is impossible for him to lead the army to attack in a short time. We can take this opportunity to recruit more soldiers, save food and grass, build high walls, and dig deep trenches to prepare for the battle.

The hundred or so bodyguards that Yameni brought to Suizhou are all the elite of Xiazhou Yaneyi's bodyguards. They are much stronger than my Suizhou sergeants. It's a pity to be bodyguards. We might as well send them all as soldiers later. Commander, captain, and all first-class military positions. Our Suizhou soldiers and horses have seldom fought. Now that we have these brave men who are accustomed to fighting as commanders, I believe that our Suizhou military strength can be quickly improved. " Wu Youdao nodded and said: "Master Chu's words are reasonable, we still need to strengthen the connection with Jingzhou and Youzhou, communicate with each other, and echo each other. Now, Yang Hao suddenly increases his troops and expands the territory, which seems to be infinitely powerful, but now He needs to rest and stabilize the territory he has already occupied, and Yinzhou cannot afford to support so many soldiers. Such a vast territory has been occupied by him, so he naturally has to divide his troops to garrison to protect the environment and the people.

When he finishes these things, the threat to us will not be so great.As long as we can keep the city of Suizhou, we can ride around at any time, attack its territory and people, let him take care of one and lose the other, and not both. Yang Hao can dominate the northwest with a mere place in Luzhou. If we want to make a comeback, why not? ? " All the officials nodded and said yes. Li Jiyun couldn't help but look happy when he saw that everyone was fighting high. At this time, Si Lu joined the army Chiyihu Lulu suddenly walked in with a heavy expression.When Li Pilu saw it, he patted the mat and said, "Chiyi, Lulu, come and sit, what news have you received?"

Chiyihu Lulu walked up to Li Pilu, sat down on his knees and said: "Ya Nei, Lord Inspector, I have just received the news that Yang Hao has asked for merit from the imperial court, rewarded the three armies, and the morale is boosted. Yang Hao is transporting food and grass, hurry up." While preparing for the war, he kept in constant contact with Zhe Yuxun of Fuzhou and Yang Chongxun of Linzhou. According to the exact news from the spies sent by his subordinates, Yang Hao had already decided... a month later, he sent troops to Suizhou and sent troops to Suizhou in one go. I will take Suizhou!"

There was a sudden silence in the hall, all civil and military personnel looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to make a sound. Li Pilu let out a strange cry, and said angrily, "Yang Hao, a soldier who has been fighting for a long time, dares to attack me in Suizhou immediately?" Chi Yihu Lulu said solemnly: "Lord Inspector, although Yang Hao's soldiers have been fighting for a long time, they have just won a big victory and have been rewarded. It can be said that the morale is like a rainbow and the army's heart is available. Moreover, Yang Hao fought against rebellion according to the order. Now not only the troops of Linzhou and Fuzhou are called for, but the Seventh Clan of Dangxiang takes Xiao Ye Keer, the young patriarch of the Yeli Clan as the commander, and has assembled 40,000 elite soldiers, ready to fight at any time.

At the same time, Yang Hao issued an imperial decree to draw 20,000 warriors from the acquainted tribes in Hengshan, and to form an army of 20,000 soldiers from Tubo and Huihe tribes. Yang Hao now has a strong army in Yinzhou alone. 60,000, at least 40,000 people can be dispatched from the two prefectures of Linfu, that is to say... the total force that Yang Hao can gather... there are 180,000 string-controlling soldiers..." There was a sudden gasp in the hall, and Chi Yihu Lulu said in a low voice: "Ya Nei, Lord Inspector, how long will our 30,000 soldiers be able to defend Suizhou under the siege of 180,000 troops? "

Li Pilu's complexion became very ugly, he was silent for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said: "This is really pushing the wall down. Could it be... that we have no chance of survival?" Li Jiyun asked suddenly: "What's the news from Jingzhou and Youzhou?" Don't drive Wu Youdao and said: "Yamei, after Master Li Guangrui passed away, the defenders of Shizhou were about to fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, so they took the initiative to retreat, and all the people, grain and silk, and the army of Shizhou were withdrawn to Youzhou. Now it is quiet Zhouzhou and Youzhou are reinforcing their city defenses and are ready to guard against Yang Hao's attack. After the fall of Shizhou, the gate of the Great Wall is opened, and there is no obstacle between Xiazhou and Yinzhou. State, he can do it." Li Jiyun gritted his teeth and said: "Jingzhou Youzhou prepares for war separately? Yang Hao has such a large force, so why not defeat each of them? Although Yang Hao has many soldiers and horses, most of these troops are for the army in wartime and for the people in peacetime. They need to farm and herd to feed the tribe. With the family, so it is absolutely impossible to fight for a long time, if Jingzhou and Youzhou can send troops to contain Yang Hao together, and then go all out, decline again, and be exhausted three times, are you afraid that Yang Hao will not withdraw his troops?" Chu Yuntian, who was engaged in governance, said: "Yanei, Yinzhou, Shizhou, and Xiazhou fell into the hands of Yang Hao, which separated me from Jingyou and Suizhou. If you want Jingyou and Suizhou to send troops to help, there are three There are two big troubles: 1: If Yuzhou sends out all the elites and Xiazhou sends troops later, won’t Yuzhou lose? 2: It’s a long way from Yuzhou to this point, and the seven clans of Dangxiang are all loyal to Yang Hao. I’m afraid the food road will be cut off Lost; third: Even if the two prefectures of Jingyou are dispatched, the force is still far inferior to that of Yang Hao. If Yang Hao besieges the city and fights for aid, I am afraid that Jingyou will be eaten before I am in Suizhou. Therefore, I am afraid that the governors of Jingyou and Youzhou They will not send troops rashly." Li Pilu was breathing more and more heavily, suddenly shouted loudly, and stood up against the desk, saying: "Even if there are millions of soldiers coming, why are you afraid? There is only Li Pilu who died in battle in Suizhou, and there is no history of surrender! Yamen, instead of sitting and waiting to die, It's better to strike first, let's use all the troops in Suizhou, and before his troops are assembled, go to Yinzhou first, and fight him to the death!" Chu Yuntian raised his voice and said: "Lord Inspector, we must not show off our blood and courage. Although Yang Hao's army of 180,000 has not yet assembled, the existing troops in Yinzhou are far superior to our Suizhou. If we abandon the city and take the initiative To attack, that is to suppress strengths and make up weaknesses, I am afraid... the defeat will be faster." Li Pilu said angrily: "I can't attack, I can't defend, so what should I do? Should I sit and wait for death?" Bing Cao engaged in Hua Xiaoliu and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ya Nei, Lord Inspector, I have an idea." When everyone looked at him together, Li Pilu couldn't hold back, and hurriedly asked: "What's your idea, tell me quickly." Hua Xiaoliu clasped his hands to Li Jiyun and said, "I want to know, does the yamen want to be the overlord of Chu who killed himself in Wujiang for a moment of pleasure, or do he want to be that hard-working Goujian and strive for eternal supremacy?" Li Jiyun's eyes were fixed, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is it like to be the overlord of Chu? What about being that Goujian?" Hua Xiaoliu said: "If the yamen wants to be the overlord of Chu, all the lowly ranks will use up the soldiers and horses of Suizhou, and follow the yamen to fight Yang Hao to the death. Kill him vigorously and happily! An idea, so that Yang Hao can no longer find a reason to send troops, and the three states of Jing, Sui, and You can be preserved, and we can recuperate and accumulate strength, so there may not be a chance to reverse the situation in the Northwest in the future." Li Jiyun moved his face and said: "Tell me, how can you prevent him from going out?" Hua Xiaoliu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "In the Yamen, although there are frequent wars between the feudal clans in the northwest, since we have been attached to the Song court successively, although the wars between each other still happen from time to time, they are much more restrained than before. , Mostly focus on weakening the opponent, rarely invade the city and occupy the land, and if there are real wars, they are all fighting under the banner of 'bandits' and 'suppressing bandits'. For example, when our Li family sent troops to rob the Yang family and attack the fortresses in the two prefectures of Linfu, it was under the banner of horse bandits, and when the Zhe family sent troops to deal with our soldiers, it was under the banner of bandits.Because in name, the sky above our heads is the sky of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official robes of the Great Song Dynasty are on our bodies. If the feudal vassals openly fight and kill, fight for the city and invade the land, it is clear that the court will not be released. In the eyes. This time, Mr. Li Guangrui attacked Yinzhou. It was because Yinzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of Xiazhou. His Excellency played the banner of liberating Yinzhou. He originally thought of conquering Yinzhou with one attack. , and then logically put Yinzhou back under the jurisdiction of the adults.And when Yang Hao retreated from the Han Dynasty, he did not forget to ask the imperial court for an edict against rebellion when he was in panic. Yes, at least in face, we must be famous, so that once the court blames us, we all have room for mediation. " Li Pilu said impatiently: "You are so rambling, what exactly do you want to say?" Hua Xiaoliu said: "Lord Inspector, everyone knows that our Jing, Sui, and You prefectures were originally the territories of the five prefectures under Li Guangrui's jurisdiction, and the prefects of our three prefectures are all under Li Guangrui's subordinates. But …At least in name, Jing, Sui, and You prefectures are the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and you, Mr. Inspector, received the official seal cast by the Great Song Wensi Academy, and received the official position conferred by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty." Speaking of this, Hua Xiaoliu smiled slyly and said: "When Mr. Li Guangrui attacked Yinzhou, I, Jing, Sui, and You, never dispatched a single soldier, so... Yang Hao wants to rebel? Who said that I am Jingsui?" You Sanzhou is also a rebel, so does Marshal Yang need him to send troops to crusade? As long as the yamen plead guilty to the court and ask himself to be a hostage, in this way, it is obvious that he is throwing himself into the net, but in fact he is protecting himself and avoiding giving Yang Hao an excuse to continue chasing him. And I, Jing, Sui, and You, can also submit a form at the same time, and ask the imperial court to make the decision.” Li Pilu was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "It's unreasonable, do you want me, Li Pilu, to expel Ya Nei from Suizhou, and put myself at risk for my own safety? Bah! Death is death, and I, Li Pilu, will never go to such a thing as pigs and dogs Do!" Hua Xiaoliu hurriedly said: "Lord Inspector, calm down, you have misunderstood. The humble position means that the imperial court may not be willing to allow Yang Hao to rule the Northwest, and take advantage of the opportunity to take the opportunity. But in this situation, Yang Hao has the Holy Order and has already taken the lead. Even if the imperial court is unwilling, it is still dumb to eat yellow lotus, and it is hard to tell. But if the yamen follow the idea of ​​the subordinate officials, it will give the imperial court a step, and the imperial court will have an excuse to intervene." When Hua Xiaoliu said this, he paused, and waited for everyone to digest what he said, before continuing: "The three states of Jing, Sui, and You will be guaranteed, unless Yang Hao is willing to turn against the court now." Otherwise, there is absolutely no excuse to attack us. In this way, the yamen can try their best in Bianliang, make a lot of gold and silver to make friends with courtiers and dignitaries, and at the same time secretly control the revival of the three states of Jing, Sui, and You. And our three states can be in the During this period, he recuperated, accumulated strength, and at the same time secretly contacted various tribes in Tubo and Huihe..." Chu Yuntian sneered and said, "Master Hua, are you too far-fetched? Our Li family has fought with Tubo and Huihe for many years, and we have lost countless lives and injuries to each other. How dare you talk about contacting the tribes of Tubo and Huihe?" Hua Xiaoliu said: "Is it impossible?" "how is this possible?" "How is it impossible? We have no personal enmity with the leaders of Tubo and Huihe. What we are fighting for is territory and profit. There are no permanent friends in the world, but there are permanent interests. The volcano king Yang Gun took advantage of the time when the Zhe family was busy. Occupied Linzhou, but the Zhe family formed an alliance with my Li family because of its great power. When Tubo and Huihe gradually realized the threat of Yang Hao, why didn't they form an alliance with us to protect themselves?" Chu Yuntian was at a loss for words, Hua Xiaoliu turned to Li Jiyun again, cupped his hands and said, "Yanei, when the time is ripe and the imperial court intends to use the power of Yanei to check and balance Yang Hao, Yanei can return to the Northwest in a fair and honest manner, and support him secretly under the imperial court's support." Next, lead our troops from the three states, and retrace the path of today’s rise of Yang Hao’s victory over prosperity with the weak, and the rise of our Xiazhou. Together, one rises, one rises and the other declines, and it goes round and round, a cycle of cause and effect! A new cycle of reincarnation will begin again.” "Ridiculous! What nonsense!" Li Pilu said with a livid face: "This is all your wishful thinking. Will the court obediently follow your ideas? If the Yamen take the initiative to ask the court for a crime, of course there will be no murder, but in all likelihood, you will be punished for the crime." House arrest, the tigers of the Western Regions, and the high walls of Bianliang imprisoned, would life be worse than death? You bastard is greedy for life and afraid of death, and you have such a trick to harm my brother and trap me, Li Pilu, in an unjust place. Come on, give him to me..." "Wait!" Li Jiyun stopped drinking, and said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Hua said... may not be impossible." Li Pilu was shocked and said: "Yanei, how can you believe his whimsy?" Li Jiyun shook his head and said: "Otherwise, my father said that Zhao Guangyi didn't trust Yang Hao. When he dispatched his troops to attack Han, Zhao Guangyi meant to borrow my Li family's knife to cut Yang Hao's power. It's a pity... Yang Hao is too treacherous, we failed to attack Yinzhou, but now this paper of edict is being used wantonly by him. He can carry the big banner of the imperial court, and of course I can too." Li Jiyun raised his head abruptly, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hua has a good idea. This is the only way we can get rid of Yang Hao at present. Let's do what Master Hua wants. Cousin, I will go to the court as a hostage and be his Go back to Goujian! In the northwest, I will leave everything to my cousin." "Ya Nei!" Li Pilu held Li Jiyun's hand, and said excitedly: "Since Ya Nei is going to do Goujian, then I, Li Pi Lu, will do a language for Ya Nei!" "You and I are of the same heart, let's create the Li family's hegemony again!"
Linzhou, Yangjiacheng. There is also a mourning hall here. Yang Chongxun had an arrow in his eye, and the toxin went straight into his brain. He was already a god, but he couldn't worry about his son. Said that the eldest brother is not dead, and has rushed back to Linzhou, and when his mind is relaxed, this life that is exhausted will come to an end. Yang Chongxun left the Yang family when he was young to support Han, and later changed his surname to Liu. Now his brother has become the head of the Yang family. His status as the eldest brother is embarrassing, so he didn't want to see him again Brother, but when he heard that Yang Chongxun was seriously injured and would soon die, this brotherhood finally overwhelmed everything, so he rushed to Linzhou without stopping. When he arrived in Linzhou, Yang Chongxun was dying. Yang Jiye quickly walked into the old house of the Yang family that he had not seen for more than 20 years. As soon as he entered the room of the owner of the Yang family in the back house of the ancestral house, he saw that Yang Chongxun was surrounded by Yang. The civil and military officer of his family, seeing his elder brother appearing, Yang Chongxun stared blankly for a long time before he vaguely recognized his elder brother. I haven't seen him for more than 20 years. The young man who was in his prime at the time is now in the middle of his life.Seeing each other now, the past is vivid in my mind, like a dream mirror, Yang Chongxun and Yang Jiye stared at each other for a long time, suddenly burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, you...you are finally back." With tears in his eyes, Yang Jiye walked slowly to his side, knelt down lightly, held his weak hand, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, I'm back." Yang Chongxun cried like a child, and said in a broken voice: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, brother, this Linzhou City should have been yours, but now that my brother is no longer, I will give it back to you." Yang Jiye held his brother's hand, his eyes gradually filled with tears, and he said after a long time: "Second brother, I heard that you were seriously injured, so I rushed back to see you. Now I have served under the command of Master Yang Hao. Linzhou City, I won't want it." Yang Chongxun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he laughed loudly, coughing and saying, "Okay, okay, the general trend is like this, God's will is like this..." Yang Jiye frowned, and asked with concern: "Second brother, I brought some famous doctors from Yinzhou with me this time, can you let them treat you?" Yang Chongxun said sadly: "After leading soldiers for so many years, fighting for so many years, and seeing so many dead people, don't I know my illness? It's too late. Brother, brother, before I die, I can see you. Then you can close your eyes. Brother is incompetent... incompetent. For so many years, brother has been alone, and he has worked so hard. Now...you can just come back. The foundation of the Yang family is handed over to you. How to deal with it is up to you. You decide." Tremblingly, he called his son again, asked him to kneel in front of Yang Jiye, and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, I... entrusted my son to you. There is a big brother to take care of him, brother... brother will die in peace... ..." Without saying a word, Yang Chongxun took Yang Jiye's hand, then slipped it down gently, and passed away with a smile on his face. Although Yang Jiye has been through battle for a long time and is used to seeing life and death, now that his brother passed away after more than 20 years in a hurry, he couldn't help crying and pouring out his heart. Yang Jiacheng began to hold funerals, and Yang Jiye asked people to report the situation here to Yang Hao, and asked Yang Hao and Zhe Yuxun to attend the funeral for the sworn brothers, and at the same time, he personally took care of the funerals for the brothers.Linzhou soldiers will wither, and there are not many people who can support the situation. The main generals Li An, Yang Xiaoyao, Yang Dabao, and Lu Yongyi were imprisoned by Yang Chongxun, so Yang Jiye summoned Linzhou civil and military officials and announced In this regard, Linzhou's proposal to belong to Marshal Yang Hao of the Longyou Army in Hexi was not obstructed in the slightest. Yang Jiye is a man who promises money, and since he promised to be loyal to Yang Hao, he will never change his mind no matter whether he lives or dies.But Linzhou City was entrusted to him by Yang Chongxun. If Linzhou could support it alone, he would try his best to help his nephew so that Linzhou could stand on its own.However, after he got to know the situation of the soldiers, food, and people in Linzhou, he knew that there was no place for the Yang family to stand in the northwest. Even if he was willing to come back, he would not be able to last long in the northwest. ... He is only good at fighting. The mess of Linzhou, as a regime, cannot be supported by only one good general, so he discussed it with his nephew. Yang Guangzhang had already been instructed by his father, so naturally he would not object, so Linzhou officially changed its flag and became a city under Yang Hao's administration. The funeral was being arranged here, so Yang Jiye ordered Li An, Yang Xiaoyao, Yang Dabao, and Lu Yongyi to be released. Detained, now that the second uncle has just passed away, my father overturned his order, and let Linzhou see it in the eyes, I'm afraid... it's not very good, right?" Yang Jiye shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "If your second uncle really wanted to punish them, he would have done it long ago, why bother to arrest them? Could it be that they have to wait for Master Yang Hao to arrive before releasing them? You go, let me go Son personally go to prison to release people." Yang Yanlang had no choice but to promise to retreat, the room was empty, and suddenly fell silent, Yang Jiye slowly raised his head, looked at the corner of the sky, and murmured: "Second brother, I think...is this what you mean?"
In the beautiful building and painting pavilion, the brocade tent hangs down, and the tassels on the embroidery bed are shaking rhythmically, and there are soft moaning and heavy breathing of a man from inside. Suddenly, with a deep roar, everything fell silent.After a long time, I heard a lazy woman's voice coming from inside: "The master always says he is doting on people, but he doesn't mean what he says, and he only uses words to coax people." Li Pilu's voice laughed and said, "Isn't that just pampering you with those words?" The woman said coquettishly: "Fuck you! Who cares!" "Isn't it rare? Hehe, the twelve wives and concubines, my master sleeps with you for more than half a month. Those women want to swallow you in one bite, and they say it's not rare. You are in the blessing and don't know the blessing." , Tell me, why doesn't the Lord love you anymore." When the brocade mantle was parted, Li Pilu sat naked on the edge of the bed and asked while putting on clothes. Behind him, a jade body lay horizontally, with bare jade arms and powder legs, warm and moist as jade, tender and white as fat.The snow-white and plump breasts are only covered with a scarlet sweat scarf, which has a more fragrant smell. The mature and plump figure is obviously an excellent stunner, but the most important part can be blocked by Li Pilu's body. The spring light finally did not let out. This woman is Hua Xiaoliu's sister, Hua Feidie, and Li Pilu's ninth concubine. Although Li Pilu was greedy for novelty and took in a third concubine after her, she is still his favorite. Hua Feidie raised her head, her face full of love, and hummed softly: "The jewelry that the master gave me is far worse than the jewelry that the master gave to Li Jiyun to take to the capital for dignitaries. If our family didn't These treasures are fine, since there are such jewels, the master only spends them on him, and he has never seen them before, and he said he loves him." Li Pilu put on his clothes and belts, combed his hair and tied a crown, and looked at himself in the mirror, and said: "Fei Die, that is the wealth accumulated by your master over the years, tell him to take these things, and let him take them." There is a reason to ask him to take it, and if you are willing to give up these things, you will be rewarded a hundred times, a thousand times in the future, do you understand?" Hua Feidie snorted, got up and dressed.As soon as she sat up, her upturned buttocks, slender pink legs, and deep and seductive cleavage were all in sight. Li Pilu, who was already dressed up, couldn't help being lustful when he saw it, and touched her a few more times. This made the woman blushed and moaned in a beating heartbeat. At this moment, there was a light knock on the window outside, Li Pilu stopped quickly, Hua Feidie added another dress to the obscene clothes, walked around the screen, and opened the front door, only to see Hua Xiaoliu in a grand dress standing outside.Hua Feidie hurriedly called: "Brother." Hua Xiaoliu rubbed his hands together and asked, "Are you awake?" "Master has already woken up." Hua Feidie looked back and called, "Master, it's my elder brother." Li Pilu walked out slowly, took off the saber from the wall and hung it on his waist, nodded to Hua Xiaoliu, and asked, "Are you ready?" "Ready." Li Pilu smiled slightly, and walked towards the door. Hua Feidie grabbed his arm, winked at him, and said coquettishly: "Master, I will cook ginseng chicken soup in a while, and I will make up for it when the master finishes his work." body." Li Pilu chuckled, pinched her pink cheeks and said: "Okay, okay, I will send off Lord Li Jiyun in a while, and the master will come back to drink soup." Hua Xiaoliu stood at the door, turning a blind eye to the flirting and scolding of his sister and Li Pilu, and when Li Pilu stepped out of the door, he quickly followed.Hua Xiaoliu walked out with Li Pilu step by step, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Excellency is very respectful to Li Jiyun. I am a general in Suizhou, how many people are not convinced. Now that Li Jiyun is going to Beijing, Your Excellency has given such a heavy property. Even Chu Yuntian, Wu Youdao, Chiyi and Lulu were quite reticent. They said that the current situation is dangerous, with financial and material resources, they should try their best to buy food, grass and military equipment. Woolen cloth." Li Pilu smiled complacently: "Their loyalty is naturally there, but it's a pity that they are short-sighted. Kicking Li Jiyun away may not stop Yang Hao from annexing the power of the Li family. The two old men in Youzhou and Jingzhou don’t buy my account at all, but they are very loyal to Li Guangrui’s son. If I kick Li Jiyun away, our three states will never That is to say, each of them is fighting on their own, and the result must be defeated by Yang Hao one by one. Now I send Li Jiyun to Bianliang, so that Yang Hao can't find an excuse to crusade against Suizhou, and I can also coerce the emperor to make the princes use Li Jiyun's name to control the two states of Jingyou.If one day he really comes back, at that time, the official is already full-fledged, and Jingyousui Sanzhou is under my control, so what can he do?Still not a puppet in my hand?Hehehe..." Today is the day for Li Jiyun to go to Beijing, the car is ready, and the guards are all in military uniform, leading the horse and standing in front of the mansion.Li Pilu rushed to the front hall, and the Suizhou civil and military officials who came to see him off had already gathered together, and Li Jiyun had also packed up, appearing almost at the same time as Li Pilu. Under the leadership of Li Pilu, Suizhou officials sent Li Jiyun out of the city, reluctantly sending him one way after another, showing the brotherly affection. When he reached the concave slope, Li Jiyun stopped and said: "Cousin, I will send you off for a long distance, and we must say goodbye. Let's break up here." Li Pilu said: "Yamei, be careful all the way to the capital. When you arrive at the place, be sure to bring a message back in time to avoid worrying people." Li Jiyun cupped his hands and said: "Little brother can save it, brother stop, brother will leave now." "Come here, bring me some wine." Li Pilu shouted loudly, someone brought a cup immediately, Li Pilu held the cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ya Nei, this glass of wine for brother..." "Pfft!" A frightening voice sounded, and the smile on Li Pilu's face froze. He lowered his head slowly, only to see a carved feather arrow obliquely piercing his heart. Landing on the ground, he rolled into the grass, his body swayed, his eyes revealed an unbelievable light, and he lost his voice: "Who is it? How could it be..." Before he could say a word, he fell on his back, Li Jiyun's face changed drastically, he quickly drew his knife out of its sheath, and at the same time fell to the ground, shouting: "Be careful, there are assassins!" As soon as Li Jiyun lay down, there was a sudden rain of arrows in the forest in front of him. He could only hear the sound of arrows breaking through the air, feathered arrows swishing continuously, and people kept screaming that the arrows fell to the ground. Hua Xiaoliu panicked, turned around and ran, just two steps away, the arrow rain came and shot him like a stab. Chu Yuntian was hit by an arrow in his thigh, and he fell on the ground in a panic, and crawled behind a big rock, shouting angrily as he crawled, "Why are there so many assassins lying in the forest? All our scouts are blind?" Going forward, there is a concave mountain ridge with dense forests.However, Suizhou military and political officials sent Li Jiyun to Beijing far away, talking about the front, and in the area with a radius of tens of miles in all directions, people must be sent to carefully set up guards.Moreover, there is still a considerable distance from the dense forest, even if there are people in the forest, it is impossible to shoot the arrow so far, so Li Jiyun stopped here, and when he was about to bid farewell to Li Pilu and board the horse, all the officials gathered around When they came over, the guards stayed on the periphery, never wary of the front. The assassin in the forest seemed to be carrying countless arrows, and the sharp arrows pierced the air continuously, and the guards were shot down as soon as they grabbed it. Although there were warriors with shields among the guards, the kind of Madoka The shields can't protect themselves well, the arrows of the assassins in the forest can not only be thrown, but also shoot directly, they can only lie on the ground, use the small round shield to protect the vitals of the head and back, and sneak forward bit by bit under the rain of arrows. "Cousin! Cousin!" Li Jiyun grabbed Li Pilu, dragged him to his side, and quickly moved behind a big rock on the side of the road. "Poison, there is poison on the arrow." Li Pilu only felt numbness and swelling in his chest, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He knew something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to pull out the sharp arrow, but now he had no strength in his whole body, and even his lips felt numb. He gestured to Li Jiyun with his chest. Li Jiyun shouted: "Is there poison on the arrow?" He grabbed the shaft of the arrow and tried to pull it out, but as soon as his hand clenched the shaft, the arrow sank a little deeper. Li Pilu let out a "uh" and his eyes shone with radiance. Staring at Li Jiyun, dying, said: "You...you..." Li Jiyun looked back at the scene of people panicking under the random arrows. Due to the dense arrow rain, no one could climb to his side despite the arrow rain, but the guards behind quickly separated to the two wings. Feeling forward in the bushes and jungle, he turned his head and put one hand on the corner of Li Pilu's mouth, ready to cover his mouth at any time, with a sinister smile on his face and said: "Cousin, the soldiers and horses are still in your own hands, and that's what you do in your heart." Be down-to-earth. If you hand over your military power as soon as I arrive in Suizhou, brother, I will never make such a bad move." Li Pilu was startled and angry, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you killed me just to seize my military power? Even if you won Suizhou, so what? You...how can you resist Yang Hao's attack?" Li Jiyun said: "So, my brother has always wanted to seize my cousin's military power, but he never did it. Fortunately, my cousin's people thought of a good way for me, but I don't have the patience to go to Bianliang to try my best. If you are assassinated today, you are dead. I am also 'dead', your son will succeed as the governor of Suizhou, and he will be in charge of Suizhou to convey sincerity to the court, while I, a 'dead man', will control it behind the scenes, isn't it possible to achieve the same goal?" "You...the assassin is someone you arranged, Yang Hao...will you believe that you are dead?" "It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not. The important thing is...the court will believe it, and even if the court knows that I am alive and that Suizhou is under my control, it will definitely believe it." Li Pilu's heart beat faster and faster, and colorful clouds began to appear in front of his eyes, but his consciousness was still clear, and he murmured: "If Yang Hao resists the imperial order and insists on attacking..." Li Jiyun said nonchalantly: "If Yang Hao has the guts, he will come here whether I am in Suizhou or not. If he doesn't have the guts, he won't know whether I'm here or not. Why should I think so much?" Li Pilu smiled miserably. How much effort a smart person has made, looking forward and backward, carefully planning, step-by-step deliberation, and long-term consideration, is not worth an arrow from such a reckless person. The world is like this, it is really ridiculous. Chu Yuntian screamed: "This is snake venom, the arrow is quenched with snake venom, my leg..., save someone quickly." Wu Youdao yelled: "Lord Inspector, what's the matter with Inspector?" Li Jiyun turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and save my cousin, he is about to die." Li Pilu is really on the verge of death, his eyes are gradually losing sight, his limbs are limp and weak, his heart beats like a drum, and the screams of killing and screaming around him are sometimes clear and sometimes blurred. Putting his ear in his ear, he said softly: "No matter what I do, I, Li Jiyun, never feel ashamed of others. Only you, my cousin, this is the first time. You are so loyal to me, but my younger brother treats you like this. In my heart I'm ashamed. But... I really don't want to be Goujian..." Li Pilu shook his body, and slowly exhaled his last breath... "Actually, I don't want to be a writer..." His lips were black and purple, and he was numb and lost consciousness. The words were spinning on the tip of his tongue, and he finally lost the strength to say them again.
