first and second

Chapter 50

=====

At dawn on the second day, Li Chengyun dressed neatly and led a group of people to the city wall. Sure enough, as Li Chengyun expected, there was no one on the city wall.

Li Chengyun was not in a hurry, he asked Mu Yu to bring a chair, and asked Tan Qing to make a cup of tea, and sat on the chair carelessly, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Ling Ran on the side was a little anxious. He had seen with his own eyes how urgent the battle in Shaozhou was. He was afraid that if he arrived in Shaozhou one step later, he would never see Liu Mingxiao again.He stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Governor, please order the Jeju soldiers to go to Shaozhou immediately for support."

Li Chengyun slowly opened his eyes, Ni Lingran said: "Shaozhou must be rescued, and the soldiers of Jeju will also set out, but not now, soldiers don't pay attention, and the rear is unstable. It is a taboo for soldiers. Before the battle, I will let All the soldiers are convinced to follow me to the battlefield."

Ling Ran said: "But, if we drag it on any longer, I'm afraid Liu Mingxiao won't be able to hold on. We're going late, and what we'll see will only be white bones."

Li Chengyun frowned. If it wasn't for Liu Wenchao's people kneeling in front of him, he didn't want to explain so much at all. He said patiently: "It's not too late. Today is the first day of the new year. This should be the most relaxing time of the year, if they are forced to go to the battlefield, it will definitely lead to the loss of morale, before reaching Shaozhou, our army will flee and disperse, how can we fight this battle."

Ling Ran didn't know how to rectify military discipline, nor how to be a qualified leader. He was just a half-grown boy, and he was only worried about Liu Mingxiao. He said, "I can lead a team to Shaozhou for support."

Now Li Chengyun was completely impatient, wondering why the person Liu Mingxiao led didn't have any experience in the battlefield.

Li Chengyun said: "Are you going to die with you? You also know that Cai Jinzhen has firecrackers in his hand and [-] soldiers. What can a small team of you do? Not only can't help at all, but it will also scare the snake. Now Cai Jinzhen is surrounded For ten days in Shaozhou, it must be inevitable to win Shaozhou, and there must be some slack. I have organized [-] soldiers to make a surprise attack. Liu Mingxiao in the city heard the movement and then fought again, flanking Cai Jinzhen back and forth. Isn't it the best policy to let him down? You can't lose the big because of the small."

Li Chengyun took a sip of tea, looked at the soldiers coming under the city wall one after another, patted Ling Ran on the shoulder, and said, "Get up and look behind you, you will be able to set off soon."

Li Chengyun drank tea, looked at the capital, and missed Liu Wenchao more and more. He also wanted to make a quick decision, return to Liu Wenchao's side, and sleep with him in his arms.

The first group of soldiers who came up saw a group of people on the city wall. They were still a little dazed. They thought they were still dreaming. After rubbing their sleepy eyes, they realized that this was the new governor. Many people had already seen each other yesterday. , They quickly greeted Li Chengyun.

Li Chengyun was sitting on the chair, as if I would not get up when the king of heaven came, and asked, "Why do you need to be on guard?"

Soldiers, look at me, I look at you and shake your head.

Until a familiar face appeared, Lu Xiu smiled and said, "The governor got up very early." Then he turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Hurry up and ask everyone to gather under the city wall."

Li Chengyun tapped his fingers rhythmically on the chair handle, looked at Lu Xiu leisurely, and asked, "Is the military ration ready?"

Lu Xiu arched his back slightly: "It's been prepared a long time ago, and we can leave the warehouse immediately after the governor gives an order."

Li Chengyun said: "Then what are you waiting for, let someone prepare."

Lu Xiu didn't see Jin Qiao last night and this morning, and he secretly rejoiced. Li Chengyun must have accepted her. He looked up at Li Chengyun and asked, "I wonder if the governor is satisfied with the arrangement last night?"

Li Chengyun made a point with his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Satisfied?" Li Chengyun said: "Aside from the fact that she stabbed me with a dagger, I am quite satisfied with the rest."

In Lu Xiu's mind, he had already decided that Li Chengyun, who was young and vigorous, would be satisfied, so he didn't think about his words carefully, and said cheerfully, "It's good to be satisfied."

Li Chengyun raised his eyebrows and remained silent, staring straight at him, making Lu Xiu's scalp tingle.

It took a while for Lu Xiu to come back to his senses, and he knelt down with a thud: "My lord, sir~ I really don't know that Jin Qiao will assassinate you, you~you~I..."

Lu Xiu was so frightened that he spoke tremblingly and awkwardly: "It's really not arranged by the subordinates. How can the subordinates be so stupid to do something in their own yard."

"Oh?" Li Chengyun said with a smile: "Isn't Jin Qiao someone from your yard? Or do you mean that you want to kill me and won't arrange for people to do it in your own yard?"

Lu Xiu was speechless for a while, and he couldn't wash himself away even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He just kept saying all the things he had said to He Bi last night, and finally came to the conclusion: "This thing must be done by Why."

Li Chengyun took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Why should I trust you?"

A little cold sweat broke out on Lu Xiu's forehead: "You can confront He Bi face to face to prove your innocence."

Li Chengyun's mansion got down and stared at Lu Xiu condescendingly: "Are you confronting in front of all the soldiers?"

The fingers tucked into the sleeves moved, Lu Xiu understood that it was time for Li Chengyun to stand in line, if he chose He Bi's side, then what awaited him would be heads.Lu Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."

A group of people gathered under the city wall in darkness, like a dark cloud.

Why don't you know when you have already quietly stood under the city wall, standing in front of all the soldiers, as if silently declaring your sovereignty, these people are all my people, don't even think about touching a hair on me.

Li Chengyun leaned back on the chair, sitting lazily, squinting at He Bi who was under the city wall, and hooked his fingers to Mu Yu who was behind.

Mu Yu stepped forward, and after Li Chengyun whispered a few words to him, he stood up and walked to the edge of the city wall. Behind him was the bitter cold wind, which made the flags on the city wall scarlet like blood and his cloak whistling , he looked down at all the people under the city wall, and said in a sonorous and forceful tone: "I am your new governor. If you don't want to change your name, you won't change your surname to Li Chengyun."

His eyes flicked to everyone one by one: "Today, I want to announce two things. First: In a short while, all of us will go to Shaozhou to attack the pirate Cai Jinzhen. Second: Before we leave, there is something that needs to be announced in front of everyone." Take care of everyone." His eyes fixed on He Bi: "Tan Qing, lead someone."

There was a lot of discussion below, saying everything, but most of them wanted to see what tricks the newly appointed governor would play.

Not long after, Tan Qing brought Jin Qiao up. Jin Qiao was locked in the room last night, and she didn't close her eyes all night. Now her hair is in a messy bun, and her forehead is swollen.

Li Chengyun said: "Who ordered you to assassinate me?"

Jin Qiao knelt on the ground, pointed to He Bi under the city wall, and said what he said last night in front of all the soldiers.

There was an uproar under the city wall, Li Chengyun asked everyone to be quiet, and asked Lu Xiu to recount the conversation with He Bi last night in front of everyone.

Now everyone looked at He Bi with contempt, why bother looked at Lu Xiu angrily, and had no choice but to know that he had no way out, so he looked around and wanted to sneak away before everyone could react.

He was caught by Mu Yu who had been prepared a long time ago, and Mu Yu pressed him to the city wall and made him kneel down.

Li Chengyun took two steps in front of him and said, "Yesterday, you told all the soldiers to gather at Maoshi, did you take my words as a joke?"

Why bother to be held behind the back by Mu Yu with one hand, he straightened his upper body with difficulty: "Li Chengyun, you pretend to be a public servant for personal gain, and you dislike me as soon as you come here. This is obvious to all."

"That's right, what can you do with me?" Li Chengyun supported the Soul-Living Knife in his waist: "The former governor Liu Mingxiao sent someone to send you to Shaozhou for support. Prepare for the war as an excuse. You can go back and forth to Shaozhou three or five times during the time you are preparing for the war. You flout the military regulations, ignore the governor, and send someone to assassinate me. No matter which one, it is enough to kill you. Since, you I think hanging your head on your head is too much of a hindrance, why don't you just let me fulfill you."

After saying that, he drew out the Soul-Living Knife, and slashed at He Bi's neck, blood spattered three feet.

Before He Bi recovered from the panic, his eyes were wide open, and his head rolled down the steps, dying with regret.

Mu Yu sent the handkerchief, Li Chengyun took it and carefully wiped the blood on the Lihun Knife, and as the knife was sheathed, Li Chengyun said: "Drag him down."

Lu Xiu beside him was shivering, his coat was already wet with sweat, it was only at this moment that he became really scared, what Li Chengyun said was not a joke.

Li Chengyun passed in front of him, turned to him and said: "Take someone to rescue Jin Qiao's mother." He took a step forward and said: "Give the soldiers extra meals at noon, charge it to me, and ask Mu Yu to get it."

Lu Xiu didn't dare to argue, and lowered his head, trembling as if walking on thin ice.

Li Chengyun waved his cloak, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and said to all the soldiers under the city wall: "In the future, if someone ignores the military regulations and does not take the words of their superiors seriously, this is the end. If you are a soldier under me, you have to obey To do my will, if anyone refuses to obey, you can come forward and fight me three times, I will never fight back, if you can hurt a hair of me, not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you."

"It's just right, there is a lack of defense." Li Chengyun looked at the soldiers from left to right, and asked, "Who of you dares to come up and try with me?"

The people below all turned their attention to one of them, he was Wu Sandao who claimed to be San Dao Zhan.

It is said that no one among the [-] soldiers can pass three swords in his hands, even He Bi, who had just had his head cut off, had a hard time fighting him in the past.

Wu Sandao stood up from the dense crowd and said loudly, "I'm willing to step forward and have a try."

Li Chengyun walked down from the city wall, stood in front of all the soldiers, and Mu Yu took off his cloak for him.

Li Chengyun beckoned to Wu Sandao to let him come up.

Wu Sandao clasped his fist with one hand and said, "Governor, I offended you."

"Just let it go." Li Chengyun put his hands behind his back.
