When Cui Yunqing called Li Jing to leave, it was already completely dark, and the streets were completely silent and pitch black.

When Lin Wei walked past Li Jing, he lightly drank Li Jing's ankle with his boots, and the pain woke Li Jing up from his contemplation.He raised his head and looked around, and found that his black horse had been led to him by the servants of the Song Mansion.Cui Yunqing was bending over to get on the carriage, and just as he was about to get on the horse, he heard the teacher shout from inside the carriage: "Ji Yu, come and ride with me in the carriage." Li Jing hesitated, and Cui Yunqing immediately raised her voice and said: " Come up quickly, I have something to discuss with Zai on the road."

"Yes." Li Jing replied, turned around and tied the Ma Jiang rope to the back of the carriage, and jumped into the carriage by himself. "What is the teacher's order?"

"It's nothing, just now in the Song Mansion, I saw that you were hesitant to speak, and seemed to have something in your heart." The weather has entered the cold winter, and Cui Yunqing couldn't help shivering just after coming out of the warm Song Mansion.He gathered a sable fur cloak with his hands, and wrapped it tightly around his neck.Seeing Li Jing wearing iron armor and sitting upright, he couldn't help but sighed and laughed softly: "I'm getting old, it's only the beginning of winter, and I can't resist the cold at night."

"Teacher is in his prime!" Li Jing said insincerely, looking at the strands of silver hair exposed under Cui Yunqing's crumpled head.

Cui Yunqing asked him to come up to talk, but she stopped talking.Instead, she closed her eyes slightly, and Li Jing sat on the side, so she had no choice but to remain silent.The carriage drove slowly through the quiet street, and the sound of wheels and horseshoes became more and more crisp.

Until Li Jing thought that Cui Yunqing had fallen asleep, Cui Yunqing suddenly closed her eyes and said, "Blind donkey".Li Jing froze for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrong.In his impression, Cui Yunqing had always been beautiful and bearded, full of elegance.It never occurred to Cui Yunqing to swear such vulgar words as a blind donkey.

Seeing Li Jing looking at him in surprise, Cui Yunqing opened her eyes and cursed with a smile: "You son of a bitch, scolding without any scruples makes me feel much happier."

Li Jing followed with a smile and said: "It turns out that my mentor will also scold people. Is it because of going to Qingzhou? If my mentor is not willing, then I won't go. Although Song Wei is a Jiedu envoy, if the old man doesn't want to go, he will Do you really dare to emphasize it?"

"Well said!" Cui Yunqing stretched out her hand and patted Li Jing's shoulder, "I really want to stay in Dengzhou, stay in this seaside wonderland and never leave."

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, Li Jing said: "As long as the mentor is willing, no one can force you."

"Of course." Cui Yunqing said to Li Jing, "You said how about the two of us leaving everything like this, and then riding around the world on two horses? Whether it's the grasslands outside the Great Wall in Liaodong, or the desert in Longyou and Hexi, wherever we go. Let the horse sing a long song and enjoy the world!"

"I yearn for it, it's great to be like this." Li Jing didn't know that Cui Yunqing had such a romantic side. "But teacher, we are all alone. You have your family and children, and I have my mother, wife and children."

"Why do you seem to be older than me? You are so sensible when you speak, don't you think about freedom and indulgence?" Cui Yunqing shook her head, "That's right, you are always like this. Otherwise, at the beginning I will not take you in at first glance and accept you as a student. Tonight you have not answered the question about being a teacher in the Song Mansion. What do you really think is that you don’t want to go to Qingzhou? Can you tell me the reason? Yes It’s not that you want to go back to Wendeng right away, it’s because you don’t want to part with your wife. Your wife is your childhood sweetheart, I heard you once said that the surname seems to be Wang, and you have a concubine from Bohai?”

"Her name is Wan'er, and she's from Xinluo." Li Jing replied, "At first, the whole family came to Shandong to escape the famine. Later, her family couldn't support her, so they sent her to my house."

"Wan'er is a nice name. Did you pick it up at your house later?" Cui Yunqing smiled, "The woman who can make you think about it all the time seems to be a good person. You don't want to go to Qingzhou because you don't want to worry about your name." Wife and concubine? I know that you are not content with mediocrity, and your performance has always been very good. But if you really want to make a difference, you just want to go home and be a united general. You will not be promising. You and I Go to Qingzhou, and I will make good arrangements for you. Within ten years, I can guarantee you a post as a soldier and horse envoy. Not the soldier and horse envoy of the United Army, but the soldier and horse envoy of Pinglu officer Jian Jian."

Li Jing is silent, ten years?Ten years later, what will Datang look like?At that time, Huang Chao, who seemed to be rampant all over the world, was finally driven out of Guanzhong, and the soldiers of Datang finally regained Chang'an.Huang Chao retreated all the way to Chenzhou, besieged the city for half a year, and opened a human meat processing workshop, pounding and grinding village, to pound and grind human flesh day and night.At that time, both Zhu Wen and Li Keyong became Jiedu envoys, tycoons on one side.

Ten years, can he wait that long?

The carriage drove into the night market, and a section of the street about one mile from Nanmen Street was designated as a night market.The rest of the city has long been quiet, but the night market here is still on fire.The lanterns are raised one after another, and the lights are brilliant, like a city that never sleeps. This bustling night market will not disperse until midnight.Li Jing couldn't help sighing, maybe this is the last period of prosperity he can see in this era.Right now, there are already refugees and bandits around Dengzhou.It won't be long before this bustling Dengzhou City will not be spared.From then on, until the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, hundreds of years of troubled times, dynasties changed, warlords fought, displaced people lost their homes, the people were in dire straits, and the people in troubled times were like grass.

He couldn't wait, so he went to Qingzhou, maybe as Cui Yunqing said, he would definitely be promoted steadily.But this is still too slow. Even if he becomes a top ten general or a military envoy, it will be difficult for him to get ahead in such an important town as Qingzhou.Troubled times are coming, and he has to start managing his own territory.

"Teacher, the students also know that it will be smooth sailing if they follow the teacher. But if this is the case, the students will never experience the tempering. The students want to stay in Dengzhou, not because they want to go home and think about the three-acre land. Students I just want to make my own way.”

Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing with some surprise, this student always makes surprises.He is excellent and outstanding, but Cui Yunqing always feels uncontrollable.Just like the last time he ambushed and killed Feng Yanqing, how courageous it was.Moreover, killing Feng Yanqing required not only courage, but also great ability.Li Jing did it, which surprised him all the time.He can't see through this student, he can always have his own persistence and ideas.

Thinking of this, he sighed: "Although I don't understand all your thoughts, you have a good personality. When I turn around, I will say hello to Song Wen. Longshan Ying, Moudong Shouzhuo, Dengzhou Zhizhou Bing, Chishan Town, this The chief generals of the four barracks are all from me, you can choose which one you want to go to. You are now the head of the united army, if you transfer to another barracks, in my face, you can continue to lead the entire army."

These four armies are almost half of Dengzhou's troops.Li Jing couldn't decide which military camp to go to for a while, there were 3000 troops in Chishan Town, and 1000 troops in the other three departments.Except for Chishan Town, the other three departments are all near Penglai. If you go to these military camps, it may not be realistic to develop your power alone.As for Chishan Town, which is closest to home, the surrounding area is relatively remote, and it is a good place for development.It's a pity that there are a full 3000 people in Chishan Town, which is even more unreliable.

What Li Jing was looking forward to the most was a chance to lead the army independently, even if he was given a remote place, he could have a hundred people.It's just that he also knows that it would be delusional to have such an opportunity.In addition to the Shouzhuo, Junzhen, and Zhoubing mentioned above, the only ones that can have a separate territory are the towns, guards, and beacon shops that belong to the frontier soldiers.The army town here is different from Chishan Town. Chishan Town is a county town and does not belong to the county, but directly belongs to the prefecture.The border towns are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. The upper town has only [-], the middle town has [-], and those with less than [-] are called lower towns.There are fewer soldiers in the garrison, only fifty for the upper garrison, thirty for the middle garrison, and less than thirty for the lower garrison.But there are fewer people in Fengpu, six people are more, and only three people are less.Moreover, the border towns, border guards, and beacon shops are all in the border area.Dengzhou is actually a frontier, but because the border is the sea, there is a natural barrier.Although the imperial court also set up border towns, frontier garrisons, and Fengpu, most of them were on those islands on the seaway between Dengzhou Port and the Liaodong Peninsula.

However, these border towns and border garrisons are not under the jurisdiction of the state governor, but directly under the Jiedushi.

"Why, you planned to stay, but didn't you decide which military camp to go to? Or, do you really plan to stay in the Unity Camp?" He turned to look at Li Jing and said.

Li Jing shook his head with a wry smile, Cui Yunqing sighed, and closed her eyes again, this time, Cui Yunqing didn't open her eyes again all the way back to the Governor's Mansion.When they arrived at the mansion, Li Jing helped Cui Yunqing get off the carriage, Cui Yunqing waved her hand, making Li Jing send him into the mansion involuntarily, and let Li Jing go back directly.
