The scout replied again: "It's General Li Jing."
He shouted loudly and asked, "Why is Pharmacist Li here in Lishan!"
Liu Lan was so frightened that she almost fell off her horse when she heard it was Li Jing. This name was really scary.
The other party must have also noticed his side. Liu Lan was hesitating when he saw someone riding a horse.
The other party was just riding alone and said loudly: "Which troops and horses are there?"
Liu Lan raised her head and frowned at the person in the rain, and asked, "Who are you?"
The man rode his horse closer and said, "Look clearly, I am Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County!"
"mother……"
Liu Lan cursed, why is this god in Lishan Mountain?
He immediately turned around and rode away alone.
A group of Shuofang soldiers were still at a loss. When they saw the general fleeing, they also fled.
As Liu Lan fled, she cursed in her heart again and again. One Li Jing and the other Li Xiaogong. When the Central Plains was pacified, the two most famous ones were both in Lishan.
"Do you think a certain family is a god? How can we fight Lishan?"
Liu Lan had just left for a moment when Pei Xingjian came with his troops.
Li Xiaogong was still stunned on the spot, muttering to the fleeing soldiers and horses.
Pei Xingjian pulled the reins, stood on his horse and asked, "Prince of Hejian County, have you seen Liu Lan's soldiers and horses?"
"Liu Lan?" Li Xiaogong scratched his head and thought for a while, "This name sounds familiar, who is it?"
After thinking for a while, I really couldn't remember this person, so I pointed in a direction and said, "A group of soldiers just came. They heard my name and ran away. Oh... they ran away from there."
"Sorry for bothering you." Pei Xingjian wiped the rain off his face and shouted, "Chase!"
This team of soldiers also gave chase.
Li Xiaogong sighed, feeling baffled.
After returning to the village, he found Li Tai. Only then did Li Xiaogong know, "It turns out that this Liu Lan is coming to attack Lishan. Did I think it was a big deal?"
Li Tai smiled in surprise, attacking Lishan? Of course it's not a big deal. Can he get in?
It rained all night, and Pei Xingjian pursued the troops to the south of Lantian County before capturing the troops.
Liu Lan looked at the young official in front of her and asked, "Who do you have?"
"Hahaha, it is unethical for me to be a lowly official, Pei Xingjian."
"Pei...Pei...Pei Xingjian." Liu Lan asked in confusion: "Is this the same Pei Xingjian who pacified the Tianshan Mountains and conquered Persia?"
Pei Xingjian tied him with a rope, "There is no need to mention the little things from back then."
Now Liu Lan stood there, letting them tie her up and not moving. She could be as obedient as she wanted, not daring to resist at all.
Seeing that the binding was strong, Pei Xingjian escorted him and the rest of Shuofang's army back to Chang'an City.
The reason why Liu Lan was so obedient in Pei Xingjian's hands was because he couldn't beat him and there were more people on his side. He originally wanted to challenge him in a one-on-one fight, but he couldn't beat him.
Late at night, the gate of Chang'an City slowly opened a crack, and soldiers and horses walked into the city.
The soldiers and horses walked all the way to the imperial city, and finally a eunuch came to send a message. Pei Xingjian led Liu Lan alone into the Chengtian Gate, which looked like a man-eating beast.
Liu Lan walked in shivering.
Pei Xingjian saw that he was walking slowly and kicked him.
Liu Lan was kicked so hard that she staggered.
Pei Xingjian said in disgust: "Where was your previous momentum? Where is your self-proclaimed heroic spirit?"
After stumbling to the outside of Wude Hall, a eunuch came into the hall, "Your Majesty, Shuofang Guard will bring Liu Lan here."
"Bring it in."
The majestic words came from the hall, making Liu Lan tremble with fright.
Pei Xingjian chased him all rainy night, his clothes were still wet at this moment, and he led people into the palace.
Seeing His Majesty, Liu Lan knelt on the ground with a bang.
"With the golden sword, you are called the emperor?" Li Shimin looked at the memorial in his hand and snorted: "You are so brave."
Liu Lan was stunned for a long time and replied: "Your Majesty, the last general is a loyal minister!"
Li Shimin's eyes were gloomy, "Loyal minister?"
"I want to eliminate harm to the country, except Lishan!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin's laughter came from the hall.
Seeing His Majesty walking towards him with a smile on his face, Liu Lan also laughed, "Hehehe..."
Suddenly, His Majesty smiled and raised his foot to kick.
Liu Lan was kicked to the ground.
Li Shimin cursed angrily: "I miss your contribution to the Northern Expedition, but now you dare to rebel!"
Liu Lan fell on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general is a loyal minister, and the last general has no rebellion."
Li Shimin kicked him again and threw down a letter. "Show me, what was found in your house?"
Liu Lan crawled all over the floor in panic, quickly picked up the letter, and her expression changed drastically when she saw the content in the letter, "Finally..."
"You are so brave, you dare to rebel against my prince!"
"This is not a letter from the general, this is a staff member in the general's house..." At this point, he stared and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The general has been plotted!"
"How do you teach me to trust you?"
Liu Lan swallowed hard and couldn't think of how to explain that the staff was recruited by himself, but he had no idea that this staff was secretly connected with Qi Wang Li You.
There is no way to argue, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, no matter how he explains it, it will be useless.
The letter in his hand fell, and Liu Lan kept kowtowing, "The last general is a fool, the last general is ignorant, the last general..."
A general who didn't even know he was being plotted and used actually dared to invade Lishan.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Take it to Dali Temple!"
The guards in front of the palace dragged him away, but Liu Lan was still shouting, "Your Majesty, the last general is a loyal minister!"
The sound became farther and farther away, and Pei Xingjian stood in the palace without saying a word. This matter was serious, and the prince involved could not be kind.
This Liu Lan is already a dead person.
Seeing His Majesty's gaze, Pei Xingjian immediately bowed down.
"You should also step back."
"Here." Pei Xingjian noticed the tiredness in His Majesty's voice. He first took a few steps back and stopped. Seeing that His Majesty really didn't give any more instructions, Pei Xingjian turned around and left.
When he walked out of Zhuque Gate, Pei Xingjian saw Cen Wenwen.
"Where are the people?"
Pei Xingjian replied: "It has been taken to Dali Temple."
Cen Wenwen whispered: "It involves the prince. Don't say a word about today's matter. As for Qi Wang Li You, we can only let His Majesty make arrangements in person."
"Thank you, Zhongcheng, for the tip."
Pei Xingjian replied, sighing inwardly that there were so many capable people in the court, but he found out the whole story in just one night.
Nothing in this case can be hidden from His Majesty's eyes.
This matter has become a family matter of the emperor, so ordinary ministers cannot participate.
When Princess Runan was just a hairpin girl, she had a conflict with the maternal Yin family of King Li You of Qi over matters concerning the princess's fiefdom.
After so many years, Qi King Li You still held a grudge against Lishan. It was clear that he wanted to use Liu Lan's help to destroy Lishan.
After such a big detour, it turned out that a child wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and he was playing it so naively.
One night passed, Chang'an City was as usual, and Pei Xingjian was caught by the wind and cold when he woke up.
He sat in his official office, wiping his nose and looking at the paperwork.
Li Zhi came with a bag of medicinal materials, "Lishan asked me to send this to you. Pei Fuyin should pay attention to his health."
Pei Xingjian took the medicinal materials and thanked him: "Thank you, His Royal Highness, King Jin, and thank you, Marquis of Lishan County."
Li Zhi looked at the repaired Jingzhao Prefecture, looking left and right, "Where is Shangguan Yi?"
Pei Xingjian replied: "I went to inspect the counties early in the morning."
"He is still so diligent."
Pei Xingjian remembered Cen Wenwen's instructions in his heart, and he only mentioned the capture of Liu Lan when it came to King Jin's question, but did not mention King Li You of Qi.
There was a slight turmoil this autumn, and then calmness returned.
Li Shimin sent people to Qizhou to inquire.
Another month passed, winter entered Guanzhong, and snowflakes fell on the land.
Silla envoy Jin Chunqiu arrived in Chang'an City. Li Yifu was very dissatisfied with this person and the Silla people. The Japanese slaves were only as large as the Tang Dynasty, and they still hadn't taken it over for a year.
"Even if we fight in the Central Plains, it won't take a year to attack a state capital."
Jin Chunqiu explained: "The terrain of the Japanese slaves is not good. It is very difficult for General Wen to march. It is just that it is a little slow. They have already captured half of the land."
Li Yifu said impatiently: "You said you wanted to be Datang's dog, so you show this little sincerity?"
Jin Chunqiu said as if he was swearing: "I will definitely win it next year!"
Both the DPRK and the Central Government had almost lost confidence in the Silla people, and they could not even take over such an island in a year.
These Silla people are so useless.
Jin Chunqiu added: "If we still can't capture the Japanese slaves in the coming year, I will go to sea personally. Even if I am the only one left, I will dedicate their territory to the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yifu sat down and asked about the past year, and asked the clerk on the side to record it.
The war between the Silla people and the Japanese slaves will also appear in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, outside Lishan Village, Cen Wenwen and Zhang Yang were walking along the railway.
Speaking of what happened to King Li You of Qi this time, Cen Wenwen sighed: "Your Majesty's son has been surly since he was a child. He heard rumors in Qizhou that Li You ordered his generals to lead 20 cavalry to shoot Quan Wanji. Later, he There are rumors that King Qi is planning to rebel."
"Afterwards, His Majesty issued an order and scolded him. Now that Li You dared to use Liu Lan's hand to attack Lishan, Your Majesty is even more disappointed with him."
Zhang Yang led him walking in the wind and snow. There was already a lot of snow on the bamboo hat and said, "You don't have to tell me these things."
"Alas." Cen Wenwen sighed: "There are very few people who know about this matter. Only the minister of Dali Temple, Pei Xingjian, and your Majesty know the reason for this matter. The matter is directed at Lishan, and the county prince should also know reason."
Zhang Yang glanced at Xiong Da who was following him, "Since this incident happened, my wife said that whenever she leaves the village, she must be with her."
Cen Wenwen smiled in astonishment, "We shouldn't have sent someone to inform Lishan in the first place."
Zhang Yang added: "Then you don't have to tell me this now."
Now that the power of the Marquis in Lishan County has reached its current level, these conspiracies can be dealt with lightly.
Cen Wenwen shrank his neck in the cold wind, "I didn't expect that Liu Lan would run so embarrassed when she heard the name of Hejian County Prince."
The two walked for a while. The railway had not yet been laid so far. There were rows of houses along the line that was ready to be laid.
The house is very large, with compartments inside it. This is where civilian husbands and students live temporarily.
Zhang Yang explained: "After our new school is built, they will be able to move in. The house will be a little crude, but it can keep out the cold and wind and rain."
Cen Wenwen raised his eyes and saw that there was a chimney on the roof of every house, which was the Ondol chimney for heating.
Even if it's snowing outside, it's still warm inside.
"Well, you, Lishan, are quite fast at building houses."
Zhang Yang explained: "We made prefabricated panels, which saved a lot of processes. The rooms are simple and can provide food and accommodation. Moreover, it is just a temporary residence. Part of it will be dismantled in the future, and the rest will be used as a transportation station."
Cen Wenwen also saw many children sitting at the door of the canteen. Finally, the door of the canteen opened, and a smell of food wafted in. A group of children and civilians walked into the canteen to eat.
Zhang Yang took him to look at the dishes in the canteen. There were vegetables and meat, and the dishes were very rich.
There are children drinking broth from bowls. People here are doing hard work, but they still have smiles on their faces. Three or two families gather together, talking and laughing.
Zhang Yang said: "The food and housing expenses of these civilians are deducted from their wages, which is 30 yuan per month. After deducting these, they can still get 70 yuan. It is expected to be completed next summer."
The two walked out of this lively canteen.
"In fact, people from other villages and counties come here to eat. We will issue work cards. With the work cards, you can work. As long as you have the work cards, you can enjoy all the conveniences here. Our wages are deferred for one day, and we are not allowed to work on that day. Get paid.”
Cen Wenwen wanted to check on behalf of the emperor. He looked carefully to confirm that Li Lishan had not forced people to do anything, and he also asked the people working here.
Walked from the cafeteria to the bathhouse, and then to a room with the word "reading room" written on the door.
Walking into it, it was very quiet. There were only some young people reading books here in various standing or sitting postures.
There is also a heated ondol here. Cen Wenwen looked at the books on the bookshelf, and they were all related to construction.
As long as Lishan doesn't publish some books calling for rebellion here.
The land for construction was provided by Xinfeng, Lantian and Weinan counties. This land is adjacent to the Weishui River. It is a large land of 2,000 acres and very wide. After compacting part of the foundation, the construction began, and then another piece of land was compacted, and so on. Back and forth.
There are only sporadic frames from autumn to now.
Cen Wenwen asked: "The construction here is still a bit slow."
Zhang Yang said: "It will be much smoother once the foundation is laid."
After confirming the situation here, Cen Wenwen wrote down everything one by one, and Xiong Da followed him, always alert to strangers around him.
Pedestrians avoided him one after another and did not dare to approach. Xiong Da has been following the male owner since he left Lishan, not daring to relax at all.
In fact, the bear is very clingy. It just doesn't show it outside. This bear was clingy like this when it was a child, and it hasn't changed since it grew up.
"Your Majesty has arranged for your subordinates to come and inquire. Don't blame the county magistrate."
"Yes, the project needs to be watched over by someone, and it is such an important project. If Chao Zhong can look at it and feel at ease, I will feel relieved as well."
Cen Wenwen whispered: "The affairs of King Qi are in the hands of Duke Zhao. Lishan doesn't need to worry. There will definitely be an answer to this matter."
Zhang Yang whispered: "I think King Qi is going to rebel."
"Even you think so."
"Is that hard to guess?"
Cen Wenwen whispered: "Killing the important minister Quan Wanji privately, and trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Dealing with Lishan is a step for Li You. Regardless of success or not, Tian Khan has been extremely disappointed with him at this point. He can't go It’s too far, it’s hopeless, it can’t be stopped.”
