When Li Jilong entered Luoyang again, the scene in front of him was completely different from what he remembered.
Luoyang in my memory still has traces of the war.
The people in the city gathered in the east, west, north and south of the city. They have been abandoned for many years and there are few traces of people.
Now he entered from the north of the city, and there were houses rising up on both sides.
Compared with the crowds in Bianjing in my memory, Luoyang is obviously much neater and more spacious.
The overall structure of Luoyang is the same as that of Chang'an, which is a neighborhood layout with neat divisions between neighborhoods.
There are clear regulations in the living area and market area. It is indeed a bit less lively than Bianjing where you can set up stalls everywhere and do business, and you can do business just by pushing a cart in front of the palace, but the environment has undoubtedly been upgraded to several levels.
There are a lot of people, but not crowded.
He first went to the city posthouse to meet up with his guards.
According to his original plan, after he determined Meng Sun's identity, he asked his bodyguard to contact people in Luoyang to implement the arrest plan.
But Meng Sun was from the Wude Division, so Luoyang would not cooperate. Instead, they were afraid that they would cause trouble, so they were locked up in the post house.
Because of this, Li Jilong did not see his accompanying guards on the shore of Luoshui River, and Meng Sun personally came forward to dispel Li Jilong's unnecessary thoughts.
Li Jilong's identity was there, and the soldiers in the post house did not dare to make things difficult. They ventilated the two sides and led the people out.
Li Jilong felt a little sorry when he looked at the guards who were full of complaints and had nothing to say. He found a very good wine shop and treated them to a feast.
Li Jilong said: "You have been wronged by this matter, and I will punish myself with three cups. Tonight we have to drive all night, and when we get to Bianjing, each of us will be rewarded with five Guantong treasures, and you can have fun on your own. But be careful, don't think that you have arrived in Bianjing."
If you are in the capital, you don’t have to abide by the military regulations. The military laws of Dayu are strictly observed within the territory of Dayu.”
The guards were shocked at first, and then smiled. As long as you have money, it is legal to find girls, so why should you violate military regulations?
Li Jilong drank three cups in a row and then stopped drinking. Instead, he listened carefully to the speaker's story of Zhonglie, which was about Su Dingfang's heroic deeds in destroying the Turks in the west and opening up the Western Regions.
Although he heard it many times, Li Jilong still felt excited.
He watched the storyteller go down, and someone in the applause shouted: "With the emergence of many famous generals in our dynasty, and our martial arts prowess, we will definitely be able to retake the Western Region..."
There were shouts of "take back the Western Region" in the wine shop.
Li Jilong looked stunned. He didn't expect that the people in the Central Plains would feel the same as him. In fact, he didn't know that the three-acre land in the Central Plains was first occupied and bullied by the Shatuo people, and then the Khitans.
Even in the later Zhou Dynasty, there was support from the Shatuo military group.
And Luo Youdu, an orthodox Han, fought in the south and the north, reunited the fragmented country, destroyed enemies like the Khitan, and regained the confidence of the Han people. So many people thought that Luo Youdu was the savior from heaven.
My admiration for him cannot be overemphasized.
Li Jilong felt the extremely strong self-confidence and cohesion of the Dayu court, and he felt even more excited.
After the guards had eaten and drank enough, Li Jilong led them to Bianjing overnight.
Foreign ministers entering Beijing need to be notified to the court, and Li Jilong is no exception.
He had already wasted some time trying to catch the "Special Worker from the Western Regions", but he didn't want to end up making the emperor Luo Youdu worried and send someone to look for him.
In the past, when Li Chuyun was serving under Zhe Congruan because of his outstanding ability, Zhe Congruan's nephew was so jealous that he went to the court to falsely accuse Li Chuyun of guilt.
After this incident, Li Chuyun learned a lesson and was cautious in everything, even if he became one of Luo Youdu's most trusted generals.
Li Jilong was influenced by his father and had the same mentality.
A group of more than thirty people ran quickly on the official road in the dark night...
Li Jilong had trained with his father to run late at night. Even in the wilderness with unknown road conditions, they could run quickly with the faint moonlight, let alone the wide official road.
As for the more than thirty people behind him,
They are the elites among the elites, and they are all warriors carefully selected by Li Chuyun for his son. Protecting Li Jilong's safety is second, and not losing face to the Liangzhou frontier army in the face of the three major forbidden armies in the Central Plains is the key.
They followed Li Jilong one by one, no more than one horse apart, and moved forward at the same speed.
After running for more than ten miles in one breath, suddenly a dark shadow crossed the official road.
Li Jilong was startled and pulled the reins suddenly, pulling the horse upright.
The guarding riders behind him also showed extraordinary riding skills and stopped their horses one after another.
With a sullen face, Li Jilong picked up the bow and arrow on his horse and whispered, "What is that?"
A person behind him said nervously: "Wolf?" Another person hurriedly said: "How can there be a wolf around here? It may be a wild dog."
Li Jilong shook his head and said: "No, the shadow is fat and big, and the wolf and dog are not that strong..." He could see it most clearly from the front. He calmed down, thought about it carefully, and said with some hesitation:
"Maybe it's a pig..."
The guard behind him immediately stopped talking when he heard this and didn't know how to answer the question.
At this time, a person pointed to the right rear and said: "Yanei, look!"
Nowadays, yamen is still a normal term, referring to the commander in yamen.
For example, for a general's son like Li Jilong who had no military exploits, his parents would usually let him serve as their own soldier.
At the level of Li Chuyun, the commander-in-chief has the power to build Yamen, the personal guard commander of Yamen, also called the Yanei commander, or Yanei for short.
Li Jilong looked in the direction pointed by his guard, and saw the faint movement of fire in the distance. The fire was extremely fast, and it could be seen that someone was riding a horse and galloping, and the sound of laughter could be heard occasionally.
Then a series of lights lit up... Only then did Li Jilong and his party realize that there was a small village not far away, and noises and curses were heard immediately.
Is this a thief?
Li Jilong couldn't believe that there were still thieves in the Central Plains. After his father's many years of hard work, there were no thieves in Liangzhou who attacked villages so violently.
The situation did not allow him to think too much, so Li Jilong said: "Light the fire, let's go see the situation!"
As the torch was lit, Li Jilong quickly galloped towards the village.
Li Jilong also encountered several frightened black pigs on the way.
"Someone is coming, run!" "Run!"
Li Jilong raised his eyebrows when he heard the voice calling for escape. He had felt something was wrong when he heard the frolicking before. Now that he was nearby, he could clearly hear the childishness in the other person's voice: How could a kid ride a horse and become a thief?
He was a little hesitant...
I heard the villagers crying: "My pigs, my pigs... How can our family survive without you!"
There are also constant cursing...
Li Jilong felt uncomfortable in his heart when he heard this. The intense emotion of the people shouting "take back the Western Regions" came to mind.
He shouted: "Split up and chase them, and bring them all back to me!"
He whipped up his riding whip and chased after a torch.
Li Jilong's riding skills were superb, and his mount was a Qianli horse sent by Luo Youdu. He was extremely fast, running and leaping across the dry and hard fields.
There were two people in front of him, one large and one small. The younger one was running in front, while the older one was holding a torch for lighting.
As if he had discovered the pursuers behind him, there were exclamations from the front: "Hurry, Shu Er, stop him, stop him!"
The figure holding the torch heard the call and threw the torch towards Li Jilong.
Li Jilong had already taken the spear in his hand, waved his hand, and accurately flicked the torch away.
Seeing the opponent holding his weapon high and fighting towards him, with the sharp sound of breaking wind, a fire stick came from the front like a poisonous snake. The tip of the stick flickered in and out, suddenly shook into a stick flower, and stabbed towards his chest.
.
Li Jilong held his breath and aimed a backhand shot at the stick. He leaned slightly to the left in an attempt to neutralize the stick. Unexpectedly, the stick remained unmoved and after a slight deviation, it still stabbed him in the shoulder! The opponent's martial arts skills were not bad!
Li Jilong hurriedly
His body shape changed again, his body tilted to the right side of the horse's back, and he dodged this move.
The black shadow said "Huh", as if he was a little unexpected that he would get out of the way with a pinching move.
The two of them passed each other.
Li Jilong did not give up. He completely lay down on his horse and used his right hand to shoot the opponent's back with his gun.
With a "snap", it hit the opponent's vest directly, knocking him off his horse.
Li Jilong was a little surprised that this move was successful. From the martial arts skills of the other party, it could be seen that the other party was very skilled, but he did not seem to be good at horse fighting. It was a bit unexpected for him to be knocked down so easily. He did not think too much about it.
He chased after the small black shadow and shouted: "Stop, don't run!"
The little black shadow couldn't control the mount very well. Hearing this shout, he scrambled and fell down from his horse, screaming miserably.
Li Jilong got off his horse and walked towards the small black shadow.
The black shadow was in pain, but still couldn't help but retreat, and finally said: "Don't, don't come over! My father is Shi Shouxin..."
When Li Jilong was chasing, he had already realized that the opponent was not a thief, but a group of rich kids who were fooling the people. He was a little mentally prepared, but when he heard the words "Shi Shouxin", he couldn't help but paused slightly.
:Personality, similar portion, drink less.
Shi Shouxin!
Figures in the Dayu Temple and Military Military, second only to Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Han Tong, have a very close relationship with the emperor today. The incident of asking for forgiveness in the past has long become a well-known story.
This moment made Li Jilong feel a bit hard to get off.
Worried about bringing trouble to his father. The little guy is indeed Shi Shouxin's son. Shi Shouxin has three sons: the eldest son Shi Baoxing, the second son Shi Baoji, and the youngest son Shi Baocong.
Both Shi Baoxing and Shi Baoji have joined the army and have experienced in the army. Among them, Shi Baoxing is as brave as his father. He also showed extraordinary martial arts in the Northern Expedition to Khitan and made great military achievements. Shi Baoji is also very brave.
He is quite like his father, but he is still young and has not yet gone to the battlefield.
The other son is Shi Baocong here. Shi Shouxin originally planned to send him to the military camp for training when he was young, but his father and mother refused. They said that it was enough for two sons in the family to join the army, and there was no need for all three to join the army.
, the blade of the knife licks blood, there must be one person left for the old Shi family to carry on the family line.
Shi Shouxin had the right idea and handed over Shi Baocong to his parents for training.
Shi Baocong grew up under the pampering of his grandfather and grandmother. He became sworn sworn friends with a group of second-generation generals in Luoyang and became unruly in Luoyang.
Because they are young, a group of children and teenagers cannot do anything harmful to the world. In most cases, they can't afford to provoke them and can hide away. In slightly more serious cases, they can be settled with money and live freely.
This situation also inadvertently fueled the arrogance of the second generation generals, and they began to find different ways to have fun.
In Luoyang City, if they go too far, they will be punished by the government.
So I came up with a new method, go to the villages far away from the towns and gallop with the horses and make a lot of noise. In the villages in the towns, I would rein in the horses and run wildly, and the dogs would be jumping.
In the dead of night, the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the village are released and driven for a hunting game.
They were just for fun, and they didn't take away the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep they shot to death.
The group of people were all riding fast horses. The top of a small village could only have a few packhorses. How could they catch up?
Animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep will run away when frightened, but their tame nature also means they cannot run far. The folks in the village help each other find them, and most of them can be found.
As for the dead chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, you can recycle and sell them for your own consumption, and you can also get some money back.
Faced with this situation, most people can only admit that they are unlucky and attribute it to a natural disaster. Even if the village stewards invite police officers from the towns to investigate, most of them leave it alone. Even if they find some clues, they dare not say anything.
The final result is obvious. Until today, I met Li Jilong who was walking at night and caught him.
Looking at the boy in front of him, Li Jilong made up his mind and said, "What do you think? It just so happens that my father has a good relationship with Duke Shi, so he will take you to Bianjing and let Duke Shi deal with you."
he does not
He could pretend that nothing happened. He could pretend that he didn't see it, but he was involved in it, but he was afraid of running away. If the incident spread, the Li family would be embarrassed to see anyone, especially if it reached the ears of the emperor.
, even more so...
Even if the news did not spread due to luck, I am afraid that my actions today would offend all these second generations.
As far as the power behind them is concerned, it is not difficult to find out their identity, but the knife in the dark is even more terrifying.
Why don't you pick them all up? If you give them six, why don't you capture them all, give them their own fathers, and force them to show their gratitude.
The law cannot be justified, but the feelings are blameless. Even if it were reported to the emperor, it was because he had acted improperly.
He escorted Shi Baocong to join his subordinates. Just as he thought, none of the guys captured were simple characters.
In addition to Shi Shouxin's son, there are also Han Lingkun's nephew, Xiang Xun's grandson, Wang Yan's grandson, Wang Shenqi's nephew, Wei Renpu's grandson, etc., etc., all of whom are a group of second-generation generals and officials with profound backgrounds.
Now, there are eight people in total.
Li Jilong felt weak in his legs after learning their identities...
As for the people in the small village, they were so frightened that they hid away after learning about some one-sided situations.
Li Jilong gritted his teeth and took out three ounces of money from his bag, threw it to the captured generals, and said: "You can use this money to appease the people in the village and make up for their losses. Li Chuyun, the governor of Xialiangzhou,
His son Li Jilong..."
He asked the guards behind him to light up their own flags, and said: "I will not embarrass your young masters, but since we have encountered them, I cannot sit idly by and ignore them. I will return them to their respective homes one by one."
