Chapter 13 Twenty-five

After the first month of the year, the weather did not seem to warm up at all, and there was even heavy snowfall in Fangu City. However, it was better than the Wolf Rushan. After all, there was no blockage on the grassland, and there was not even a mountain bag within hundreds of miles. The wind blew from the north without anything to stop it. In addition, there were not many big cities in the Mongol Empire, and the herdsmen liked to live in tents, and the wind seemed particularly fierce.

The wind is mixed with snow, and it is called the white-haired wind by the grassland people. A white-haired wind and a disaster, and the white-haired wind is the nightmare of the grassland people. Whenever I think of this, the Han people in Fangu City are very happy. The people in Fangu City do not farm. When the weather in this ghost place is cold for half a year, the crops are not as high as the weeds. They used to rely on the court to replenish supplies, but now they rely on trade. So they are not worried about the wind and cold weather. Anyway, the food in Fangu City cannot be eaten for three years.

Because of the snow, the border soldiers were spared by Li Xiaozong. However, the border soldiers could not go home because of the trafficking of horses by Bei Liao a while ago. I wonder if there would be any trouble in the Mongol Empire. In the seventh year of Jianye in the Great Sui Dynasty, this small city could block 40,000 men and horses in the Mongols and Mandu Wolfs. Li Xiaozong was unwilling to stop Mandu Latu when he was in office.

"Fang Jie hasn't come to report for half a month, right?"

Li Gandang, who had been promoted from the deputy lieutenant Rong to the captain, squatted on the ground and lit a pipe: "I don't know who is so bold to use the bad hand. In theory, Fang Jie's kid's kung fu is good. Although he can't practice, it's not a problem to deal with ordinary men. Why was he beaten so badly? Besides, who would hate him in Fan Gu's city?"

The tobacco leaves were planted by the people of Fangucheng themselves. They are called cigarette cannons. They are very choking and have a lot of energy.

"Why don't we go with the general to ask for a leave later and see Fang Jie go?"

Fu Baobao picked up the snow on the ground and rubbed his face. Although the snow was cold, it would not take longer to use it after rubbing it, and his face would warm up. He was a scout and could not change some habits. When the people who were on the scout team with him died, he would rather not be the scout team chief, and asked to transfer to the ordinary team to be the commander. Sometimes, if you see too much death, you will not become indifferent and indifferent, but will become more afraid of death.

"The general is strict orders, no one is allowed to leave the camp."

Li Gandang sighed and said, "I see that boy is not likable on weekdays, but I really think about it after not seeing him for a few days."

"Master, are you trying to find a solution or do you want dog meat hotpot?"

Qiu Xiaoshu came over and asked with a smile.

"Get out of your mother! Do you understand that this is my deep love between brothers and sisters?"

Li Gan said to Qiu Xiaoshu with a blank look and said, "Look at your bitch, you have no loyalty at all. If you really reach the critical moment of life and death, the first person you are a traitor, and you only have dog meat hotpot in your heart but no comrades, I can see your nature clearly. Fang Jie, on the day of the beating, if you were present, you wouldn't be able to escape."

Qiu Xiaoshu's face turned red, and he wanted to argue but finally endured it.

Li Gandang took a sip of dirt and said, "Since we are destined to be in the same camp, we have to cherish it. Fang Jie is our brother, and his life is tied to a horizontal knife. He is bullied, so we can't ignore it. I will beg for the general and take our team's people to check tomorrow!"

Fu Baobao nodded vigorously and said, "The team leader is right. With you as our team leader, it is also a blessing we have cultivated for several lifetimes. If Fang Jie knows, he will be grateful to you."

As he was speaking, he suddenly saw a group of people and horses suddenly appearing outside the gate of the camp in the distance, all wearing white cloaks, so he saw clearly when he got closer. He rode a tall horse, with a small number of people, only about thirty or fifty people. The man in charge took a sign from his waist and handed it to the soldiers guarding the gate. The soldier looked at it and ran into the camp and headed towards General Li's tent.

"Who is so arrogant... I don't even get off my horse when I reach the gate of the camp."

"Although it is a little stronger than when he was the late emperor, the entire Right Guard cannot gather two thousand cavalry. The war horses of these people are not ordinary people from afar, and must be of great origin."

After Li Gandang finished speaking, he saw Li Xiaozong coming out of the tent, looking at the direction of the gate, tidied up his clothes and walked over quickly.

"I heard that the court sent law enforcement envoys from Dali Temple and the Ministry of War to patrol. Could it be that they arrived?"

Qiu Xiaoshu guessed.

Li Gandang glared at him: "What? I saw the big man from the court and planned to go over and stutter?"

Qiu Xiaoshu held back the anger in his heart and stood up and walked towards the camp. Li Gandang looked at his back and sneered: "Fu Baobao, do you know why I don't arrange for Qiu Xiaoshu to break the back every time?"

"I don't know, why?"

Li Gandang said, "This person is a man who has a lot of thoughts. His eyes flash when talking to others, which means he is not upright. I dare not hand over our backs to him for such a person. Fighting on the battlefield, my brothers' lives are already lost. I don't know when they will lose their lives, so I won't even be able to save our way."

"No way."

Fu Baobao said in surprise: "I think the little tree is good."

"You think it's good?!"

Li Gandang said seriously: "If you really encounter a crisis, I can keep you behind me. People like him... can only escape behind you. Although Fang Jie is afraid of death, Fang Jie is loyal enough. If there is something wrong, Fang Jie will not escape. So I treat you as brothers and Fang Jie as brothers."

Fu Baobao was moved and said, "With you here, our team will be happy!"

...

...

Li Xiaozong secretly glanced at the eunuch sitting high in his seat, and although he was angry, he couldn't get angry. After all, this eunuch had a special identity, and was a eunuch in the imperial study room. This position was close to His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Sometimes his careless words might change a person's future.

"Eunuch Wu, I'm not able to meet you. Please don't be surprised if you are rude."

Li Xiaozong said with a clasped his fists.

"General Li is polite..."

Wu Peisheng, who was sitting on Li Xiaozong's chair, said with a smile: "Our family has followed His Majesty's order and followed the people of Dali Temple and the Ministry of War to investigate the four military accounts in secret. Naturally, they dare not make a big announcement. If someone knew where they were before, the account would not be easy to check. If you can't do your Majesty's errands well, you will not have much fruit when you go back to Chang'an."

Li Xiaozong was extremely disgusted with the eunuch's accent, but on the surface, he did not show any sign of it: "What my father-in-law said is that since my father-in-law is here to check the accounts, I will send all the accounts later."

"No hurry."

Wu Peisheng waved his hand and smiled, "Since we have arrived, there is no hurry. We have encountered heavy wind and snow all the way, and we are hungry and cold... Why? General Li doesn't plan to invite us to have a drink to warm up?"

"I'm neglecting it."

Li Xiaozong quickly turned around and ordered his personal soldiers to prepare the wine and food, and then ordered people to prepare the accounts and take them up at any time.

"What this person doesn't like most is snow. It looks white and clean, but it's the dirtiest. The clothes on her body are stained with snowflakes, and they are wrinkled and ugly soon... General Li, don't you mind taking our family to find a place to change clothes?"

Li Xiaozong said: "Please come to my study, I'll lead the way."

Wu Peisheng nodded, stood up and said to the officials of Dali Temple and the Ministry of War: "After a while, the food will come, please use it first, no need to wait for our family, our family will naturally come back after changing clothes."

The people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of War quickly stood up, clasped their fists and said, "My father-in-law will go by himself, I'll just wait."

Wu Paisheng didn't say much and followed Li Xiaozong back. When he was about to reach the study, Wu Paisheng suddenly smiled and said, "Before coming to Fangu, our family went to Woxian Mountain first. When we saw the General Tang Duke of Right Guard, Li Yuanshan, and when we sat down to chat, Tang Duke also mentioned General Li. He said that you are a rare general, and your future achievements will definitely be above him. Our family thought that such generals could not be buried, so after we went back, our family would mention them in front of His Majesty."

Li Xiaozong was a little puzzled by Wu Peisheng's attitude of turning 180 degrees. But he was also agile and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law, there are good teas sold from Jiangnan in my study. Why don't my father-in-law drink a cup of warmth first?"

"Okay, it's hard to drink tea from Jiangnan from the northwest from the capital, especially when you arrive at Shandong Road, you can't find a few decent tea leaves in the study of the Governor Yuan Chongwu."

Wu Peisheng said as he entered Li Xiaozong's study and sat down by the stove. He reached out and roasted it on the stove. Soon, white water vapor rose from him. Li Xiaozong personally brewed tea and placed it next to Wu Peisheng and said, "My father-in-law came from afar, and the road must be extremely hard."

"It's all for His Majesty, and it's hard to say."

Wu Peisheng took the teacup, pondered for a while and said, "Since we saw you first in private, we opened the skylight and said something bright... Our family went to Woxian Mountain first because we had a good relationship with Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang mentioned you specifically... But it was not as our family said just now, and there was no more to say anything... As for what we were talking about, General Li must be very clear in his heart. We don't have to talk too much, our family just asked... General Li is ready?"

"I don't know what... my father-in-law needs me to prepare."

Li Xiaozong felt a little nervous and his face turned a little painful.

"Since that Fang Jie was a detailed work sent by the Mongol Empire and tried to bribe the generals of the border army of the Sui Dynasty to obtain information, then this matter naturally cannot be delayed. If General Li is ready, then our family will let the law enforcement envoy of Dali Temple go to get people. If the person is taken down, our family will leave. You write a memorial and will help you take it back to Chang'an to present to His Majesty when we leave."

"This... can you think of some other way?"

Li Xiaozong couldn't help asking.

"General Li...Do you think... our family tells you these things easily? If things get big, our family will lose their heads!"

"I know……"

Li Xiaozong's face became increasingly ugly, and he felt like a knife was stalking in his heart.

...

...

"It is obvious that the tax collected by Fan Gucheng is self-sufficient enough, and you have to ask the Ministry of War for money and food every year. If you know this, your Majesty will never forgive you. To be honest, if you didn't have a personal relationship with Tang Gong, our family wouldn't bother to care about your affairs. You are hesitant, may you still have to report it to our family as the truth? The military... opens a prostitute and a casino. If your Majesty knows these things, he will be furious to overturn the case!"

"Mr. Tang thought that you were the clan nephew who helped you, don't you appreciate it?"

"I see."

Li Xiaozong took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "It's all my greed, but now I have to blame others... OK... I'll send someone to arrest Fang Jie later."

"It is not enough to catch a single solution."

Wu Paisheng smiled and said, "Since he was a detailed work sent by the Mongolian Yuan, you found it, there must be a process, right? How did you find it? Who are the accomplices? Who have you bought them? You need to prepare all of these. If you prepare, tell our family. We will take people next to each other, and no one can get away."

"It's not okay to use Fang to solve one?!"

Li Xiaozong stood up suddenly, his face becoming more pale.

"Please take one? Are you a good person from Dali Temple and the Ministry of War? Or... do you think His Majesty is confused and can't tell?"

Wu Paisheng sneered coldly: "Looking that you have no intention, we have a point of advice... Since Fang Jie has a military position, he will naturally buy his fellow team members. The people in that team naturally have his accomplices and people who betray the court secrets. Fifty people in a team... half of them are almost enough to die. If General Li can't do it, you can gather the people in a while and let someone do it."

"Finish the work and make military achievements."

Wu Peisheng smiled and said, "Our family is here to congratulate General Li first. After our family returns to the capital, Your Majesty was happy. General Li, a fifth-rank tooth general, has been promoted to a fourth-rank Lang general. Even if it is not the eagle and the tiger benevolent, it is no problem to be the general of Guoyi."

"General Li hasn't written the list of people yet?"

He asked with a chill in his voice.

Li Xiaozong was slightly wrapped around his body, walked slowly to the desk, picked up the brush, dissolved the thick ink, and slowly wrote four words on a piece of white paper: The main culprit explained...

After writing these four words, his expression was already a bit terrifying. His hands were trembling more and more violently, so that the ink on the pen shook a lot. I don’t know how long it took him to continue writing on the white paper as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Accomplices: Li Gandang, the captain of Zhengguoyi of the team of the A character,... The deputy captain of Rong Liu Sansheng, Shi Chang Qiu Xiaoshu...
