"Congratulations General."
In the Wu family mansion, everyone was congratulating Li Yunze.
After Wang Lun was sent to Bianliang City, he was soon punished by Ming Zhengdian.
As for Li Yunze, he had made great contributions in wiping out mountain bandits and water bandits. Thanks to Chen Taiwei's activities, he was promoted to the first rank of military officer.
He was promoted from Cheng Jielang of the ninth rank to Baoyi Lang of the ninth rank.
Even though he was only a ninth-rank official, it was already a rare thing in this era when military generals had become a clan.
Many Liangshan heroes in the original work were only awarded titles after they died in battle.
Chao Gai, who was obviously a little jealous, couldn't hold back his drunkenness and asked, "General, what a credit I've been waiting for..."
He was just fighting bandits and water bandits, how could he get so much credit?
Li Yunze complained in his heart, "I'm just rising to the next level, and I still spend money on activities." What do you want? '
Seeing that Li Yunze didn't answer, Wu Yong on the side quickly stepped forward and pulled Chao Gai. It was not easy to offend him at this time.
However, Chao Gai, who had drunk too much, could not bear this. He immediately waved Wu Yong away, squinting his eyes and humming, "We fought hard, we should be rewarded."
"It's natural."
Li Yunze finally said, "You have received the reward of five taels of silver for each of the soldiers who went to battle, haven't you already received the fifty taels each?"
After more than a hundred years, military positions in the Song Dynasty have basically been controlled by generals from aristocratic families.
Ordinary sergeants are basically just a reward, and it's really difficult to get ahead.
It was just a water bandit fight, and the reward given by Li Yunze was definitely not low.
Chao Gai hummed, obviously dissatisfied.
"If you are dissatisfied with the reward." Li Yunze also turned cold. "You can go to Bianliang City to find the lieutenants yourself. Don't yell at me here."
Chao Gai was furious and turned around and left immediately.
Wu Yong had no choice but to follow in a hurry.
The most embarrassing ones are the three Ruan brothers. It’s not a matter of whether they want to leave or not.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Yunze said with a smile, "It's almost time. Let's go back."
Everyone said goodbye and left, and the huge courtyard quickly became quiet.
After telling Wu Yueniang and others to clean up the mess, Li Yunze went out leisurely.
Turn left and right in the county town, and finally came to a house near the city gate.
"Meet the general." Zhu Gui, who had been captured and then disappeared, actually appeared here and saluted Li Yunze.
Li Yunze looked at him condescendingly, "Do you know why I let you go?"
"This..." To be honest, Zhu Gui really didn't know.
"That's because you don't have lives in your hands!" Li Yunze sneered and raised his hand to point at Zhu Gui. "It's not like Song Wan and Du Qian. They have done many evil things and must die!"
"Yes, yes." Zhu Gui kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
The man in front of me really dared to kill. There were so many brothers who were captured before, but all those who were identified and reported as having blood on their hands were all dealt with.
"Go up to Liangshan." Li Yunze didn't want to talk nonsense to him. "Other than that, you have no other way to go."
"Liangshan..." Liangshan was Zhu Gui's sad place. His brothers and boss were gone.
…."There are already people over there." Li Yunze smiled slightly, "It will be a good time to help you after you go there."
"Yes, yes." Zhu Gui didn't dare to say anything and could only keep saluting.
When he heard no response and raised his head in confusion, he realized that Li Yunze had disappeared.
After carefully packing up and leaving the house, Zhu Gui's first plan was to go to Yizhou to seek refuge with his younger brother Zhu Fu.
But halfway through, his pace slowed down even more, and finally he stopped at the edge of the county line.
You must know that Yizhou is not far from Dongping Mansion, and Wu Er is ruthless.
If he did not obey the order and go to Liangshan, he would most likely incur harsh revenge.
Even if you are unlucky, your brother will be hurt...
"Hey~~~"
After wandering around for more than a dozen times, Zhu Gui could only sigh helplessly and turn around in the direction of Liangshanbo.
He is a smart man and knows that if he is disobedient, Wu Erlang will never let him go.
When Zhu Gui's figure disappeared at the end of the road, a figure stepped out of the woods nearby.
Li Yunze slowly put away the hammer in his hand, and said to himself with a little regret, "You know what's going on."
Zhu Gui, who had been traveling for days, finally arrived at the Liangshan berth. He spent money to rent a small fishing boat and asked a fisherman to take him to Liangshan.
"Fishermen." On the way, Zhu Gui, who was wearing a bamboo hat and covering his face, lowered his voice and asked, "Is there anyone on Liangshan Mountain now?"
The fisherman who was rowing the boat responded with a smile, "Officials don't need to be so cautious. There are many good men in Liangshan sitting on the old man's boat these days. I heard there is a new king over there, nicknamed Leopard Head. This one The new king is a very nice person, he never blackmails us or robs our homes, and he often spends money to buy our catches."
"Leopard head?" Zhu Gui was slightly confused. There didn't seem to be such a good guy in the world.
And to be able to support Liangshan so quickly under Wu Erlang's nose, he shouldn't have no reputation.
Zhu Gui went up the mountain with doubts. As soon as he came up, he was blocked by several mountain patrols.
After announcing his name, several people surrounded him and went to the Juyi Hall.
In this very familiar building, Zhu Gui finally met the rumored hero Leopard Head.
The tattoo on the face is so dazzling.
"Little brother Zhu Gui, I have met the head brother." Zhu Gui went through the process very skillfully.
"Yeah." Of course the person sitting in the top spot was Lin Chong. He nodded slowly and waved for the boys to go out.
After everyone had left, Lin Chong stood up and walked up to Zhu Gui. He helped him up and said sincerely, "Since you have come to seek refuge with me, we will all be brothers from now on. It just so happens that many good men have come to seek refuge in Liangshan in recent days." , Brother Zhu Gui will open a hotel at the entrance of Lijia Road to welcome those heroes who come up the mountain."
When Zhu Gui heard this, his face immediately darkened, "Brother, the younger brother is still a wanted criminal by the court. There is such a thing as opening a hotel at the foot of the mountain..."
.... "It doesn't matter." Lin Chong raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "No one will catch you."
Zhu Gui, who can open a hotel, is not stupid. Hearing this, he immediately felt enlightened.
This leopard head is definitely in collusion with the Yamen!
While he was talking, a pretty girl appeared at the door, greeting the leopard head.
Zhu Gui glanced at it and stopped looking at it. He was very sensible.
When he took a sum of money from Lin Chong and left Juyi Hall to open a hotel, he heard a faint voice behind him: "The official lady is urging me again... the food is ready..."
Emotions, the leopard-headed master of the family, actually led his family up the mountain?
"I heard that the Yellow River is flooded again." In the Wu family's house, while everyone was eating, Wu Yueniang began to talk about the news from the outside world that she had heard recently.
"Yes." Pan Jinlian continued, "I heard that Cangzhou and Texas are already a land of marshes. It's so miserable."
"Isn't there someone who builds rivers in the imperial court? Why..."
"Ha~~~" Yan Poxi, who was born in Bianliang City, sneered. "The imperial court provided money to build the river, but those who built the river shared the money. If there is no money to build the river, it will naturally be the people who are unlucky when there is a flood. . Officer, tell me, is this true?"
The girls all looked at Li Yunze, who was engrossed in eating.
Because too much genetic material was lost, Li Yunze was busy supplementing protein.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he put down Kuaizi and took the handkerchief handed over by Meng Yulou to wipe the corners of his mouth. "The princes in the imperial court are thinking about fighting for power and profit all day long, and the lieutenants are thinking about getting more money. In this way, Wen Tian and Wu are playful. "Down here, the world will perish at no time. The flood of the Yellow River is also a warning to the world above."
Anyway, it was just random talk. It was impossible for him to really talk about national affairs with the girls.
The girls didn’t understand it, and they weren’t interested.
Sure enough, after chatting for a while, the girls' conversation turned to rouge, gouache, and the latest fabrics.
After replenishing his protein, Li Yunze got up and went for a walk in the backyard to eat.
"We have to find a way to get out of Dongping Mansion and wipe out the cottages everywhere."
"How to get permission to send troops across the border is a troublesome matter."
Li Yunze, who was busy thinking about business, was blocked by the pretty figure in front of him.
It was Pan Jinlian who followed quietly.
Pan Jinlian, who suddenly had big watery eyes, leaned over delicately and said, "Official~~~"
"I just finished eating..." Li Yunze also smiled helplessly. This girl really wanted too much.
"Guanren~~~" Pan Jinlian, who has a pretty face and a pair of fox eyes, said lively, "The slave family knows that Guanren likes to watch dancing, so they specially learned some."
"oh?"
Li Yunze became interested and asked with a smile, "Then come and have a look."
He has seen too many top-notch court dances, performances by truly top dancers from different eras.
From a professional point of view, Pan Jinlian's dance is very immature, not even a beginner.
But...who is stepping on the horse really wants to watch the dance at this time!
As Pan Jinlian raised her long legs, Li Yunze was also extremely emotional.
'As expected of the name Jinlian, it really is Jinlian. '
.... "Don't move..." Li Yunze took a step forward and guided her dance skills on the spot. The guidance was very attentive and hard.
After some guidance, Pan Jinlian was already out of breath from exhaustion and took the initiative to propose a truce.
"No." Li Yunze, who turned into an educator, sternly refused, "I must let you practice until you are full."
There was another long, monotonous and repetitive dance movement that made Pan Jinlian, who was so tired, begging for mercy again with tears in her eyes.
Li Yunze, who was so excited, finally let her go, "Your basic skills are too poor. If you want to practice dancing well, you must first master the basic skills. If you can't dance, why are you dancing?"
The next day, when Li Yunze returned from the camp, he saw many refugees gathering on the roadside.
They all fled from flooded places such as Cangzhou.
These refugees who had nothing, naturally had to sell themselves to bury their fathers.
Li Yunze is a good man. He took the initiative to help save many people with money and did not want them to be slaves or maids.
If there are strong men in the family, they can directly join the army and eat food and pay to support the whole family.
Orphans and widowers can cook in the military camp, and they can also choose the ones they like from among the many bachelors to start a family.
As for the real old, weak, sick and disabled, almost none of them are seen.
After all, they simply couldn't hold on after fleeing for hundreds of miles in this environment.
Li Yunze, who had received a lot of praise and gratitude, was about to return to the city when he was stopped by a young lady.
The little lady begged bitterly, "I am living here alone, and I hope the officials will be kind enough to take her in. I am willing to work as cattle and horses for the officials to repay my kindness."
Looking at the young lady's pretty face, Li Yunze asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Pang Chunmei."
