Li Qinghuan

Chapter 91

The leisurely days have not passed two days, Ji Qing stayed on the mountain with He Li for a day and then went down the mountain.All the affairs in the cottage were settled in a hurry, and the old, weak, women and children in the village also had a suitable place to go.

On the day of going down the mountain, Qin Yang stood at the gate of the cottage for a long, long time, as if he wanted to engrave all the houses and trees on the mountain into his mind. A group of tall and thick men stood beside her and kept wiping away tears.

On the contrary, Qin Yang didn't cry, and his thin and tall figure stood between the green water and green mountains for a long time, as proud and chic as when he first met.He Li didn't urge them, he sat on a big rock not far away and quietly watched the farewell.

After waiting for about half an hour, Qin Yang took a deep breath, turned around, and faced the brothers in the cottage.

He Li relaxed slightly, and leaned against the tree next to the stone.

I saw Qin Yang bent down, picked up the wine jar at his feet, and poured a bowl for each of the men: "Brothers! We are going down the mountain today. The brother who has stayed on this mountain for more than ten years Bar?"

A man answered loudly: "Master, I have been here for 11 years. I am only a few days later than you, and I watched you become a tigress from a young girl!"

Everyone laughed, and even He Li who was leaning against the tree was amused by his words, and joked, "It means that the chief of your village is doing good, otherwise you would have been lying on the ground by now."

The man scratched his head with a smile, but said nothing.

On the contrary, Qin Yang was a little depressed: "Young master, I am so fierce in your eyes?"

He Li rubbed the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "No, no, Village Master Qin is as gentle as water."

There was another burst of laughter, and with this laugh, the heavy atmosphere just now dissipated a lot.

Qin Yang smiled, nodded slightly at him, and continued to lecture: "We are going down the mountain today, and we will not be so free in the days to come. It is my honor that you are willing to follow me. If you do not want to follow me, I will also Don't force it, I will give you the money, and I will make a living by myself in the future!"

All the men said in unison: "We will follow the village master to the death!"

"Okay! In the future, we brothers will live and die together! Do it!" Qin Yang said, raised his head and drank a bowl of strong wine, smashing the bowl heavily.Everyone imitated Qin Yang's appearance and smashed the bowl to pieces after drinking.

Qin Yang turned around and knelt down towards the deep mountain, lightly kowtowed three times, then got up and walked towards He Li.

"Young master, let's go."

With a piece of dog's tail in his mouth, He Li lazily stood up and stepped on his horse: "Let's go, brothers! Let's go down the mountain!"

"okay."

He Li walked in the front on horseback, followed by a group of people on horseback.The mountain road was narrow, but when he was halfway there, He Li still pulled the reins and stopped. Finally, he turned around and took a look at the mountain gate, and smiled slightly as a farewell.

Qin Yang rode his horse and followed He Li two steps forward: "Young master, is there really nothing going wrong?"

He Li chuckled: "You only remembered this after you got here?"

Qin Yang didn't speak, and suddenly felt that what He Li said made sense.

He Li turned his face and glanced at her: "Don't worry, Heming has made arrangements, nothing will go wrong, and you can rest assured about food and clothing, you will definitely not treat my brothers badly, and it will definitely not be worse than that in the cottage. The life in the village is poor, and Heming can still afford to support a civilian corps."

Qin Yang chuckled when he heard this.

He Li was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

Qin Yang: "Ji Qing said the same thing when he came to see me that day."

He Li became interested: "What are you talking about?"

Qin Yang cleared his throat, and imitated Ji Qing's tone: "I can still afford a civil corps."

He Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I have a tacit understanding with him."

Qin Yang rolled his eyes calmly, turned his horse's head and went back.

He Li smiled, ignored her, and looked up at the sky.

Well, the weather is sunny, yes, it is a good day.

After a while, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Ji Qing had told him to take them directly to the house where the weapons were stored in Pingyao.

The house is in an alley, relatively remote, even if a group of people move in noisily, it is not so eye-catching, and the house is big enough, so you don't have to worry about not being able to live there. If there is anything that makes He Li dissatisfied, it is It's really like a haunted house.That's what he felt the last time he came here. Weeds taller than people filled the entire yard, the window papers were all rotten and tattered, and the eaves of the porch were covered with cobwebs, which could be smelled by the wind. A stale smell.

He Li stood at the gate, looking at the weeds all over the garden, feeling a little dazed.

Qin Yang was very calm, and immediately arranged for people to clean up. There were a hundred or so men who were not afraid of being dirty or tired, and they did what they said, and some of them were quick to cut the weeds in the yard with machetes.Some took a broom and began to sweep the dust and cobwebs all over the yard.He Li just stood at the door and coughed from choking

Qin Yang covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and supported the door frame with the other, cursing: "You guys move softly! This dust is going to the sky!"

The big man closest to the door wiped the man on his forehead: "Okay, village master!"

Qin Yang coughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and said on the verge of death, "Sir, let's stand somewhere else?"

He Li nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Qin Yang's back to comfort her: "Let's go, let's go to the secret room."

Qin Yang nodded, and followed He Li to the secret room.

The first time is familiar and the second time is familiar, this time when He Li came in, he was familiar with the way. He walked to the candlestick, took out the fire pocket from his arms and lit the candle.

"I still have to stay in Pingyao for a while, I'll take a sword to defend myself." He Li went to the wall and took a sword and weighed it in his hand. He seemed to be dissatisfied and pouted, "Why so light?"

Qin Yang was a little curious when he saw his appearance. What He Li was holding was clearly an epee, so why did he say it was light?

"Can you show me, my lord?"

He Li nodded, and threw the sword into Qin Yang's hand.Qin Yang reached out to catch it but failed to catch it, and was knocked down to the ground by the sword.

It was only then that He Li realized that something was wrong, and quickly took away his sword and pulled Qin Yang up.

Qin Yang rubbed his painful hand and said sadly, "Young master, I think I underestimate you."

He Li hung the sword on his waist: "Are you alright?"

Qin Yang shook his head: It's okay, it just hurts a little. "

"It's fine." He Li nodded, leaning sideways against the wall.

Qin Yang patted the ashes on his hands, and walked around twice with his hands behind his back. Usually, he only sent people to clean them up occasionally. It was the first time he took a serious look at these weapons, and any one he took out could be called ingenious. He sincerely praised: "Really good."

He Li proudly said: "Of course, you don't want to see who owns this armory."

Qin Yang sighed, and didn't want to continue this topic. If we continued talking, He Li would probably blow Ji Qing to the sky: "The higher-ups probably have almost cleaned up, let's go up."

He Li pursed his lips, quite a bit unsatisfied: "Let's go."

Back on the ground, some were sprinkling water to clean the yard, and some went in to tidy up the bedrooms.

He Li is a master who doesn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers, and he doesn't want to cause trouble at the moment. Seeing that everyone has settled down and lifted his burden, he wants to run outside.

Qin Yang grabbed his robe sleeve: "Young master, which room do you live in? I'll let someone clean it for you first."

He Li vainly tried to pull back his sleeves, waved his hands and said, "No need, I'm going to find Heming."

Qin Yang let him go: "Okay, I'll clean out any room for you. You have to stay here for a long time, so you can't stay with Ji Qing all the time."

He Li nodded, turned around, got on his horse and left.

Ji Qing has been busy in the yamen day and night for about half a month, and the families of those unscrupulous officials in Pingyao have been stripped of their fortunes. He was merciless, not to mention that he brought some personal grievances when dealing with these people, and he was even more clean.

Not surprisingly, those people in Yudu were indeed related to some high-ranking officials, but their mouths were too rigid, and they were tortured to death without confessing.

After a lot of tossing, the local officials in Pingyao almost changed all over the place.

The tumor inside was cleaned up, and the matter of pulling out the thorns was also put on the agenda.

Ji Qing had been spinning around for more than ten days, and at this time he couldn't take it anymore. He sat at the table with one hand propped on his forehead, absent-mindedly listening to Chen Zheng's plan to recruit, and asked questions from time to time.

"How many troops did His Majesty give?"

Chen Zheng: "I gave [-] because of the training."

Ji Qing nodded: "At most [-] is enough, how big is Pingyao? There is still a garrison, so how can we get so many soldiers? Isn't this adding trouble to us?"

Chen Zheng nodded and said in agreement: "Isn't that right? One hundred thousand troops, those who don't know, think that the imperial court is going to flatten this Pingyao city. Isn't it just to startle the snake?"

Ji Qing frowned, feeling very bad: "Can you tell him to take half of the soldiers back?"

Chen Zheng said helplessly: "I've said it before, the king's life is hard to break."

Ji Qing and Chen Zheng had worked together for a period of time when they were in Yuncheng, and they still had a tacit understanding. Now they thought of the same place, and said in unison: "It's better to send them to the border."

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from the door: "It's not a coincidence that I came here."

He Li leaned against the door, lazily looking at the two people in the room: "Master Ji and Lord Chen really have a good understanding."

He Li hadn't even reached the door when he heard the two say the same sentence at the same time, and at this moment he saw the two sitting together at the table very close to each other. No matter how generous he was, no matter how rough Chen Zheng was, Like a scalper, he also felt sour in his heart.

The smell of vinegar was so overwhelming that it almost burst through the roof.

He Li's complexion was unkind, he stared straight at the innocent Master Chen.

Chen Zheng didn't notice anything was wrong, he stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Yu Wangdian... ah bah, Mr. He, long time no see."

He Li nodded lightly, said "Yes", and looked at Ji Qing in a blink of an eye.

Ji Qing didn't speak, he lifted his clothes and stood up, stepped down the steps to stand in front of the desk, and opened his hands: "Come, hug one."

He Li endured and endured, but he still didn't hold back, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows, he rushed towards Ji Qing with the package on his back.

Ji Qing grabbed his legs and hung him around his waist: "Why are you still carrying the burden?"

He Li stretched out his hand to hook Ji Qing's neck, and tilted his head: "I've come to seek refuge with you, do you welcome me?"

"Of course." Ji Qing raised his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly, "Master Chen, you go down first."

Chen Zheng was dumbfounded, nodded, and quickly slipped away.

Ji Qing stared at him for a while, and joked, "Why do I smell vinegar?"

He Li also felt that he was a little naive at this time, but he still bluffed and said, "So what?"

Ji Qing gently kissed He Li's forehead, and said with a smile, "It's not that bad, I'll just coax it."
