On the official roads of Northern Xinjiang, there is nothing like riding a horse.
The young man on horseback looked back from time to time and cursed: "You bitch slave, this is Northern Xinjiang!"
More than ten riders were chasing after him.
The leading man had a bandage on his cheek, and a piece of cloth was pulled from the bridge of his nose to the back of his head, which looked a little funny.
They galloped one after another until the afternoon, when the young man was lost in front of them.
The man with the cloth dismounted, and a middle-aged man came over, "Young man, how do you feel about the wound on your face?"
Someone put a thick piece of cloth on the ground. The man sat down, raised his head, and said, "It's a little itchy."
The middle-aged man came over and slowly untied the cloth from his face.
Sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, thick lips, full of nobility.
A knife mark cut from the left side of the face to the right side of the face, and a deep dent on the bridge of the nose completely ruined this handsome appearance.
"Zhang Wen, how are you?" The man looked less than twenty years old, but there was a gloomy look between his eyebrows.
The middle-aged man looked at the wound carefully, "Fortunately, the itching is due to the growth of flesh on the wound, and there is no pustule. Be careful not to let sweat cover the scar these days. How about Dai Xiang?"
The man said calmly: "Chengye has this face, and Baiye has this face. Why are you hiding it? Yang is well-informed. Doesn't Yang Songcheng know that I have lost my appearance?"
Someone said: "Originally, this matter was a sure thing, but who would have thought that Li Zhi was so vicious that he actually carried out the murder."
The man smiled and said, "Prince Liang's family has been ruthless since Li Zhen, and they are all like wolves. I chased Li Zhi all the way from Chang'an. I thought he would escape into the mountains, but I never thought he would come to northern Xinjiang."
Zhang Wen said coldly: "If he dares to enter the mountain, we will seal the exit. Li Zhi is not enough to eat, drink and have fun in Prince Liang's mansion. He can't stand a full meal in the mountain. Besides, does he know what to do? Survive in the mountains and forests? So I assert that he dare not enter the mountains."
The man is Li Suo, the grandson of King Zhao Li Huan. He is a well-known handsome young man in the clan, but now his appearance has been disfigured.
Zhang Wen is the guard of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and he has cultivated a lot.
The more than ten followers walked steadily and vigorously, and they looked like they were no ordinary people.
The person being chased was called Li Zhi, the young prince of Prince Liang's palace and Li Han's half-brother.
Li Suo pulled the towel back on and rubbed his brows, "How is Li Han doing in Northern Xinjiang?"
Zhang Wen said: "It is said that he hangs out with King Wei and has no future. He is just messing around."
"Northern Xinjiang faced Northern Liao. King Wei was cruel, but Li Han was willing to follow him. Why?"
"Last time, Li Han was ordered to go to the grassland to do something and was captured. The other party asked for a ransom, but the Liang Prince's Palace refused to give it because they asked for too much. The two parties bargained for the price. Li Han almost died on the grassland. This is probably because of this, the Liang Prince's Palace was cold. My heart refuses to go back."
Li Suo looked at Zhang Wen, "If King Wei takes action, can you resist?"
Zhang Wen smiled, "Why do you want to resist?"
Li Suo nodded, "That makes me feel relieved."
He looked to the north, "The hatred of destroying the Prime Minister will destroy my future. If I don't destroy Li Zhi, how can I feel at ease!"
…
Merchants returned to Taiping and Lin'an.
"Those wealthy merchants couldn't sit still after their smuggling routes were cut off. They got into entanglements with the Khans of the Three Major Ministries. It is said that one wealthy merchant said that unless his losses were compensated, anyone who stopped him from doing business would be his enemy!"
There was caution hidden in Cao Ying's smile.
"When merchants come, they will bring goods, taxes, and jobs. Lao Cao, what does great governance look like? People have things to do, are fed and clothed, this is great governance. If you go out and see idleness everywhere, Han, there is probably something wrong with places like this."
Yang Xuan looked at the merchants and customers and said happily: "When the people have money and food, they will then consider the future of their children and grandchildren. Let's publicize it again and encourage them to send their children to school. Wait ten, twenty years.
…When these children grow up, no one can shake the foundation of Northern Xinjiang!”
There was more joy in Cao Ying's eyes, "It is the foundation of Langjun!"
"It is also the foundation of the Tang Dynasty."
Yang Xuan saw Li Han.
"Jianming."
Li Han hurriedly said, "Zitai, I just need to see you for something."
"What's the matter?"
Li Han said: "Something happened at home in Chang'an. If anyone comes looking for me these days, ask him to come to my place."
"Can you help?" Yang Xuan asked casually when he saw his calm expression.
"It's just a small thing."
Li Han smiled and went back immediately.
King Wei came quietly.
"What's going on?" When Yang Xuan saw King Wei, he knew that this matter was not that simple.
"After the prince was placed under house arrest, the Yang family was a little worried." King Wei said very easily, "Yang Songcheng only had hope for the King of Yue, but if he wants to get the King of Yue into the East Palace, he still has to look at the emperor's face."
But the emperor left the one-armed prince in the East Palace and refused to revoke his title of prince.
"Your Majesty is just watching the fun!" Yang Xuan felt that the pseudo-emperor's power play was really powerful.
King Wei sneered, "He is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but that old dog Yang Songcheng can't sit still. But the prince is not dead, nor has he been deposed. As a grandfather, he can't open his mouth, so he wants to marry the clan and save the country.
, for this reason, a daughter, Yang Ke, was also thrown away."
The secret battle between two old dogs would be very exciting. Yang Xuan regretted that he was not in Chang'an, otherwise he would have called his family to prepare some melon seeds and tea, and the whole family would watch the show.
"The daughters of the head of the Yang family in Yingchuan have been getting married in that small circle for many years. This time Yang Songcheng hinted that he wanted to find a son-in-law from the clan, and many families were interested."
King Wei said sarcastically: "Li Zhen urged Li Han's half-brother Li Zhi to show off. At a gathering of several noble men, Li Suo from Prince Zhao's mansion took laxatives and wanted to make everyone look embarrassed. Li Zhi saw through it.
Then, taking the opportunity to go to the toilet, Li Suo's appearance was ruined with one knife."
"Ruthless man!" Yang Xuan asked, "What would happen if it were you?"
King Wei said, "If he dares to drug him, I will kick him into the toilet."
"But he crawls out, cleans himself, and is still a handsome young man. What should he do if he is more handsome than you?"
"No matter how beautiful a woman is who only cares about her appearance, I will not even look at her!"
My eldest nephew has a urinary nature, and sometimes he feels awkward.
"What happened next?"
"Li Suo is the beloved grandson of King Zhao. From now on, he will inherit the title of King Zhao. His disfigurement can be said to have destroyed half of King Zhao's palace."
"Then Li Zhi seems to be lawless."
"Li Suo was disfigured, but he didn't cry or cry. After treating the wound, he said he would avenge himself, and then chased Li Zhi."
"In other words, Li Zhi came to Northern Xinjiang?"
"That bastard was born in the same mold as Li Zhen." King Wei said disdainfully: "He refused to hide in the mountains and endure hardships. He waited for the Prince Liang's Mansion and Prince Zhao's Mansion to negotiate, and then came all the way to Northern Xinjiang. This is diverting trouble to the east.
.”
"It's not a very particular thing to do!" Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "The young man from Prince Zhao's palace has come to Chenzhou and is ready to use knives and guns. What can we do?"
After returning to Zhouli, Yang Xuan ordered people to go to the city gate to warn the soldiers guarding the city. He found that the two noble gentlemen came to report quickly.
"Just for a woman, is it worth it?" After returning home, Yang Xuan casually told Zhou Ning about this matter. Zhou Ning was still thinking about it, but Hua Hong had already begun to sigh.
Her facial features are more three-dimensional, and after pretending to be melancholy, she looks more charming.
If Hua Hong is a bit exotic, then Yan Xiao is Xiao Jia Biyu. There is a gentleness or shyness when speaking, which is very touching, "What if it's for you?"
Huahong was startled, "For me? How could it be for me?"
"Double standard." Yang Xuan felt that the bonus was a bit careless.
Zhou Ning said: "Yang, I know how many people want to marry the Yang family's daughter. Back then, she once said that her husband would be an upright man with a bright future. But now, it is unavoidable to marry into the family."
She couldn't help but look at Yang Xuan.
Compared with Yang Ke, her luck is much better.
Yang Xuan also thought of this, and the two looked at each other affectionately.
Yan Xiao winked at Hua Hong and went out quietly.
The two stood outside the door talking quietly.
"That Li Suo is so handsome. I had even thought about marrying him."
"That's the young man from Prince Zhao's palace. Can you stop daydreaming about bonuses?"
"Yanxiao, you have to be happy as a human being, right?"
"yes!"
"Then I'll be happy daydreaming."
"Where is Mr. Lang? Don't you want to..." At this point, Yan Xiao was a little shy.
Huahong sighed, "Mr. Lang's eyes are too high and he didn't even look at me."
"Zitai, the sky is clear and the sun is shining... get out quickly!"
Zhou Ning's voice came from inside. Huahong and Yanxiao immediately straightened their faces, but their cheeks gradually turned red.
…
Horses galloping on the official road.
The early morning sunshine is very pleasant, and there are birds flying and chirping in the woods beside the road. Further ahead is a field, and farmers are walking slowly and leisurely in the fields with hoes on their shoulders.
Li Zhi on horseback looked back behind him while eating a piece of cake.
He traveled during the day and rested at night, and so did the pursuers. But the pursuers suddenly appeared last night. Fortunately, he didn't fall asleep and ran out in time.
"This madman!" Li Zhi cursed.
This is already the boundary of Chenzhou, and Li Zhi only needs to find a few sergeants to find shelter.
He thought it was because of the surprise attack by the pursuers last night.
Li Zhi and Li Han are brothers from the same mother. Unlike Li Han, Li Zhi did not compete with his father Li Zhen. After his mother passed away, Li Zhi's life was still good.
It is public opinion that Li Zhen is not a thing, but Li Zhi has more experience than his brother on how to get along with this piece of shit.
Li Han and Prince Liang's family were close to each other, and later they went to the grassland and never came back.
In the absence of his brother, Li Zhi became the successor and his status greatly increased.
Thinking of his elder brother, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile. His white teeth were exposed in the morning wind, looking like a wolf cub.
This escape lasted until the afternoon.
The war horse neighed and suddenly fell out.
Li Zhi rolled in the air, and when he was about to land, he put one hand on the ground and stood firm with a somersault.
The war horse fell in front, its right front leg deformed, and it screamed.
The sound of horse hooves came from behind and slowly stopped.
"Li Zhi, why don't you run?"
Li Zhi turned around and said with a smile: "Li Suo, long time no see."
Li Suo and others dismounted and slowly forced them over.
Li Zhi stepped back and said: "Mr. Yang was looking at her son-in-law. There were six people there that day. One of the men from Yang pretended to be a clerk to spy on him. You sent someone to poison him...that is Zhang Wen beside you."
Zhang Wen said coldly: "Bullshit."
Li Zhi was thinking of countermeasures as he spoke, "No one had food that day, so you poisoned the tea. The six of us, except you and me, all talked non-stop, like roosters seeking a mate..."
Li Suo held down the handle of the knife.
"The more we talked, the thirstier we became. The four of us drank a lot of tea and immediately suffered from diarrhea and became ugly." Li Zhi said gloomily: "I pretended to drink tea, but I didn't touch a drop. Didn't you expect that?
"
Li Suo said calmly: "I saw it."
He opened the cloth, revealing the ugly and hideous scar, "My whole life has been ruined by this."
"You are unkind, so I am unjust." Li Zhi found in despair that there were only a few farmers around him.
"Hey! Help!" Li Zhi shouted to the farmer.
Several farmers stood motionless with their hoes.
"Hey! It seems like he wants to kill someone!"
"Looks like you are your noble master. It would be better for these people to die!"
"That's right. These people don't do anything. They just eat food for nothing. They treat it as raising pigs. But after eating the food we grow, they come to harm us. It would be better if they all die!"
Several farmers watched the show happily.
Li Suo slowly pulled out his long sword, "I could have stopped you before Chenzhou, but I let you enter Chenzhou. Do you know why?"
Li Zhi chuckled, "Hey! We are all old friends for many years. We have fought over women, gambled, and got drunk... Why do you need to shout and kill me? Besides, you don't dare to kill me, so why bother?
?”
"I can't kill you, but I can make your life worse than death!"
"Then...break a leg?"
"Do you think a leg can compare to my face?"
"You are a man, not a girl. Girls only live by their faces. Hey! Let's talk about it and let me go. I'll go back to the brothel in Chang'an and ask..."
A horseman appeared behind Li Zhi.
Very fast.
"Please!" Li Zhi moved his feet, and his toes stirred up a wave of dust that flew towards Li Suo, then turned around and ran away.
Several guards cursed and only focused on looking after Li Suo.
Li Zhi's figure flashed very quickly and went straight towards the knight.
The sound of clothes ripping through the air behind him was endless.
"Hey! Brother, let's talk about it and let us borrow your horse!" Li Zhi shouted at the knight, waved his right hand and threw something over.
The visitor took the thing and took a look at it, "Jade pendant."
This fine jade pendant can buy the horse under his crotch a hundred times.
"The young master of Prince Zhao's residence is here, anyone who comes should stay away!"
Zhang Wen shouted fiercely.
Someone comes and reins in the horse.
dismount.
Uncover the hat.
A face that looks exactly like Li Zhi.
"Big brother?"
Li Zhi stopped, stunned, then stamped his feet, "I don't know how to bring more people. Is King Wei so stingy?"
"Li Han?"
Li Suo and others stopped.
The person who came was none other than Li Han.
"Go back!" Li Han said.
Li Suo pointed to his face, "I got one stab here, so let him stab him twice in the face and break his legs."
Li Zhi stamped his feet, "You poisoned me first, so I'm being kind if I don't kill you."
"As a person, you must be kind." Li Suo sneered: "I have a disfigured face. It is impossible for Prince Zhao's palace to be handed over to a disfigured person. Therefore, my life is ruined. Li Han, what would you do if it were you?"
Li Han waved.
Snap!
Li Zhi covered his face. The two brothers also fought when they were young and never gave in. But now he was silent.
