After the heavy railway team had been suspended for several months, the task of analyzing the Wolf Department had already been handed over to Li Zhi, and the soldiers of the heavy railway team no longer needed to participate.
Li Ke understood the wishes of the soldiers. They all hoped to leave Chang'an and return to the battlefield that truly belonged to them.
It rains frequently outside the hall.
Mo Shaocheng walked between his brothers, pouring out bowls of warm cooking wine from the kettle.
In fact, the issue of returning to Lingzhou has been discussed countless times.
The biggest problem now is a knot in the hearts of the soldiers, that is, Li Ke does not plan to return to Lingzhou, but chooses to retire again.
The atmosphere was gloomy, and everyone hoped that Li Ke could go to Lingzhou together to continue the real battle that a warrior should have.
"Guards, you can't leave your brothers alone." Guo Haofu, a new recruit, dared to speak loudly to Li Ke for the first time.
The whole hall echoed in unison, hoping that Li Ke could continue to lead the heavy iron team.
This discussion is the last one, and no one is willing to hold back what they want to say.
Li Ke also took a sip while lying down. The warm wine was not strong, but it still made Li Ke cough.
Mo Shaocheng stopped and without saying a word, he continued to fill Li Ke's bottle. He did not intend to take care of Li Ke's so-called "injury that is irreversible."
Of course Li Ke knew what Mo Shaocheng meant, so he picked it up and drank it down in one gulp.
The heavy rain roared outside the hall, but there was still a heavy cloud of sadness inside.
Mo Shaocheng sat down and faced each other: "Li Ke, I am ten years older than you. I have led thousands of new recruits. You are the most powerful I have ever seen."
…
A group of Wuhou patrol soldiers rushed outside. As soon as Captain Wu rushed in, he shouted to the sky: "Did you all take the wrong medicine?"
It was Wu Hou who was newly arranged to patrol the nearby area.
According to military regulations, soldiers cannot assemble privately, let alone invite people to eat or drink.
But in fact, this is just strict discipline that soldiers in the military camp must implement.
For soldiers recovering from injuries at home, any officer would just turn a blind eye and almost never interfere.
It was obvious that the captain of this Wuhou team was targeting the heavy iron team and was looking for trouble.
But, finding trouble when others are drinking and crying? Isn't that good?
The heavy iron team, smelling of alcohol, roared: "Shit is coming."
The rain was pouring violently, and Mo Shaocheng picked up the bench and rushed out of the hall angrily, bringing with him a shower of splashing raindrops.
A scuffle broke out between the two sides.
"Rotten dog, rotten guts, rotten shit."
"You're the one giving shit."
"You're the shit."
…
The yard was full of chickens and dogs, and Li Ke lay in the main room and watched everything coldly.
The Wuhou team who was looking for trouble did not use the knife, because they were no match for the heavy iron team with such things as knives, even though many people in the heavy iron team were still wearing bandages.
The heavy rain pounded the blood.
Captain Wuhou held his blood-red head and screamed: "Your Majesty, take care of your subordinates."
Li Ke lay in the main room and took a sip quietly. It's you who are looking for trouble, not me. Why should I care?
Besides, the heavy iron team couldn't even defeat a team of Wuhou. Wouldn't it be a joke if word spread?
Seeing that Li Ke didn't speak, Captain Wuhou screamed angrily: "Your Majesty, my brother is a general, be careful about your future."
future? Li Ke asked Wu Daozi to push the bamboo bed to the door of the hall, and looked coldly at Captain Wu Hou who was huddled in the corner: "Do you know the future?"
Captain Wu Hou was stunned, wondering what kind of attack Li Ke was trying to make in his words.
future? Do you understand?
The courtyard became quiet, except for the low-pitched grumbles of the Wuhou Xisuo, who were just looking for trouble. Is it necessary to beat him so hard?
Captain Wu Hou was named Hou Xiaoman, and he did have a brother who was a general.
Coincidentally, his general brother Li Ke also met.
What's even more coincidental is that Hou Xiaoman's general brother happened to be standing at the door of the courtyard at this moment, looking coldly at his wounded brother.
Embarrassed, Hou Xiaoman, who lost the fight, looked at Hou Zhongde in shame and shouted shamelessly: "Brother."
Holding an umbrella, Hou Zhongde stepped into the blood and only said to Hou Xiaoman, "Pack it up and get out of here." Then he walked straight towards Li Ke.
Hou Xiaoman rolled around hurriedly and fled quickly under the threatening gaze of the heavy iron team.
During heavy rain, the yard with smooth drainage is instantly clean.
Li Ke put on his airs, looked deeply at the curtain of water falling rapidly on the eaves, and asked deeply: "General Hou is here, do you want to have a drink?"
Hou Zhongde stood under the large eaves. After closing his umbrella, he looked up at the raindrops flying from the roof tiles, and said calmly: "I'm here to announce your punishment."
The general of Qianniu Guard announced the punishment, which shows that the punishment must be quite serious.
Although Li Ke was curious about why he was suddenly punished, he still continued to remain deep. Only by being deeper can he show his calm and gentle demeanor, and how high and broad his pattern is.
When Hou Zhongde saw that Li Ke insisted on being profound, he also strengthened his depth to avoid showing how cramped his situation was in front of Li Ke.
On the large tiles on the eaves, raindrops like water curtains flew down, majestic and spectacular.
Punishment?
Several months have passed since the Queen Mother encountered the assassination incident of a pack of wolves in Weiyang Palace, and it was only now that the final punishment was finally imposed.
It was an extremely wide-ranging punishment. Even before Wu Meiniang was found, the Queen Mother still made a long list.
A murderous list contained countless prominent names, but no one could have imagined that it also contained a small name, Li Ke.
"The biggest figure is General Li Xiaoyi." Hou Zhongde put his hands behind his back, with a deep and bone-deep calm.
General Li Xiaoyi was also the prime minister who entered the cabinet at that time. He is indeed one of the most important figures in the Tang Dynasty. However, he has been removed from his post today and will soon be sent to Danzhou. The last pillar of the Li family in the imperial Tang Dynasty has collapsed.
This is the heaviest blow the Queen Mother has ever made after saving up for a long time.
The assassination incident by the wolves was just a pretext for the attack, a pretext that could be exploited by the Queen Mother.
Regardless of whether Li Xiaoyi was at fault in this incident, he, who was in charge of military affairs, could not escape the fate of being knocked down.
In the Queen Mother's list, regardless of whether the punished persons are really related to the wolf assassination case, we will take this opportunity to deal with them together, and no one has the ability to fight back.
…
"The smallest person is you." Hou Zhongde wiped the raindrops from his forehead, as calm as clear water.
Li Ke listened quietly, still pretending to be deep and looking at the rainwater flowing down the eaves, still emitting his own lightness and lightness.
For Li Ke, being exiled to Danzhou was not a punishment at all. It was too late to enjoy the best sunshine and beaches in the world.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear Hou Zhongde explain. Why should the youngest person be punished?
Could it be that a one-eyed stone man was dug out from under the smallest man's latrine? Does it mean that we are ready for a big fight?
