Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 460
"General, I have something to say, I have something to say, I don't want the official of Jinling City anymore, I don't want it anymore, it's up to you, let me go, and I will lead the troops to leave Jinling City and return to Yangzhou."

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan really planned to do something, Zongbing Sun hurriedly said.

"I am also willing to bring troops back to Jiangxi." Qian Zongbing didn't dare to provoke this Li Xiuyuan anymore, and said immediately in a subdued tone.

"My officer also left together, I just hope that General Li will calm down and don't mess around."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "It would be great if the commander-in-chiefs are so considerate, but the commander-in-chief ordered to loot the money bank in the city, what should I do with the grain depot?"

"Return, return, all return?"

"Where are the soldiers who fought under my command?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"It's all up to General Li, and I have absolutely no opinion." The three general soldiers looked at the river that kept pouring in, anxious in their hearts, and agreed to whatever Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "That's not okay. How can the generals come from afar and return empty-handed? Let's do this. Let the generals leave 3000 troops each to assist the defense of Jinling City. I will do the same when I look back. Explain the kindness of the three chief soldiers in the memorial."

"Ah~! Three, 3000 troops?" The three commanders were startled immediately.

"General Li, this, this is not allowed, this is not in compliance."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Rules are dead, people are alive. I want you to have 3000 troops each, and you have to count them. This time, the people under my command have lost a lot in the defense of the city. It is a waste of the army in your hands. Why don't you give it to me?" That Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin."

"Okay, okay, three thousand is three thousand, I'll give it to you, and I'll give it to you when I return to the barracks outside the city." Qian Zongbing saw that the water in the cabin had covered the soles of his shoes, and said hurriedly.

The other two commanders also nodded in agreement.

If it drags on, it might really sink the ship.

"There's no evidence for what you say, let the generals write a note." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Okay, okay." The three chief soldiers still agreed without hesitation.

No matter how stalemate in this situation is harmful, it is better to respond one by one first, and then worry about it after you are safe.

Soon, three notes with their private seals were written.

Li Xiuyuan verified that it was correct, accepted them one by one, and then said: "For the sake of the cooperation of the general soldiers, we can even say that today's matter is evened out. Let the boatman dock. If you don't rely on the mountains, the general soldiers may have to wait for you." Swimmed back."

Hearing this, the three commanders breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to bring the boat to the shore.

At this moment, beside the Qinhuai River.

Han Meng and several others have been waiting here with their subordinates
"Dutong, the ship has docked. Look, the general and the three chief soldiers have come out of the cabin." A battalion commander said.

Han Meng nodded and said, "I see, if the Eldest Young Master is fine, it means that the matter has been settled. Put down your guard and let the ship dock."

After a while, the leaky painting boat slowly docked.

The three chief soldiers and personal soldiers on the boat, as well as the brothel beauties, servants, and cooks in the painting boat all left the boat and went ashore.

"Li, General Li, I will not forget the things promised on the ship. I still have things to deal with, so I won't chat with General Li. Let me go." Qian Zongbing immediately bowed his hands and saluted, intending to say goodbye quickly. leave here.

"Wait." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

Immediately, the armor shook, and a group of men in golden armor stopped them with spears.

"General Li, don't say you don't count." Qian Zongbing changed his expression.

The faces of the two commanders next to him also turned pale, for fear that this Li Xiu would cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Lord Chief Soldier, don't worry, how can I, Li, be the one who doesn't count? As long as the three general soldiers keep their promises, Li will naturally have something to say, but the banquet has just ended, and the three generals The soldier left in a hurry and didn't pay for the drink. Could it be my fault?
"

"So it's like this, pay the money." Qian Zongbing waved his hand to signal to a soldier.

The soldier took out a piece of silver and handed it to a woman in a brothel.

"Not enough." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said.

Qian Zongbing said: "Give it, give it again."

The soldier took out another piece of silver and gave it to the woman.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not enough."

Qian Zongbing gritted his teeth and said, "Give it all to her."

The guard took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into the hand of the brothel girl.

"It's too much, too much." The brothel woman was afraid and afraid to take it.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Not much, your boat is broken, this is the money for repairing your boat."

"let's go."

Qian Zongbing suppressed the anger in his heart, and strode away with his own soldiers.

But before taking a few steps, he was stopped by a bustard.

"My lord, my lord, I have brought you the ten concubines you asked to invite earlier." The old bustard said, a beautiful and delicate woman was waiting beside her.

The woman was holding a lyre with a servant girl, her head was lowered, her face was gloomy, her expression was gloomy, and she seemed to be heartbroken.

"What music are you still listening to? Get out of here." Qian Zongbing said angrily.

Li Xiuyuan took a look, recognized the woman immediately, and walked over: "Shi Niang, why are you here?"

"Li, Mr. Li?" Ten Niang raised her head when she heard Li Xiuyuan's voice, with a look of joy.

"My family, my family was forcibly invited by the personal soldiers of the chief soldiers." Ten Niang said aggrievedly, and couldn't help but bow her head and weep.

Li Xiuyuan said: "That's why these general soldiers are really domineering."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zongbing Qian.

Qian Zongbing's face changed: "General Li, I don't know that this ten-mother girl is your confidante, please forgive me if I offend you."

Li Xiuyuan gestured to Shi Niang, and Shi Niang understood and immediately led the maid to retreat slowly and immediately felt at ease.

"I'm curious that Shi Niang lives in seclusion, and Zongbing Qian is not from the local area, how did he know Shi Niang's name?" His eyes moved slightly, feeling that it was not simple.

"I heard it from a scholar." Qian Zongbing said: "He said that the ten-mother on the Qinhuai River is both excellent in piano and beauty. Therefore, this official sent someone to invite the ten-mother girl."

"That scholar?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Zongbing Qian said: "The scholar's name is Zhu Erdan, and he works as a staff member in the officer's barracks."

Jurdan?
Li Xiuyuan's expression froze when he heard this familiar name.

I have ignored Zhu Erdan for a long time, but I didn't expect to appear at this time.

"General Li, if there is nothing else, I and others will leave." Qian Zongbing said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's still early at the moment, why don't the three commanders go to the Qin Pavilion and have a cup of tea before leaving."

what?
The three commanders were immediately startled again.

"What's the matter? Aren't the chief soldiers going to show off their face? It's rare that Shi Niang is here, and I haven't heard Shi Niang's piano sound for a long time." Li Xiuyuan said.

The three chief soldiers were in a state of confusion, they didn't know why Li Xiuyuan forced him to stay when they were all like this.

So hard that you really don't intend to let yourself go?
Impossible, if this Li Xiuyuan really intends to do something, why bother.
