My years as a soldier

Chapter 122 Cup Bow Snake Shadow

After a while, as the footsteps gradually approached, the person who appeared at the corner asked Luo Weidao to let out a long breath.

"You're trying to scare me to death!" He lowered his voice, and there was no lack of complaint in his tone.

"Heh... who knew you were so timid!"

The visitor's voice was low and distorted, as if his throat had been damaged by something from the inside, and the visitor was Lao Wen.

Li Zhaoshuo breathed a sigh of relief inside the door, and almost knelt down by the door.

"Old Wen, it's not that I don't want to ask you for help, it's just that... this matter can only be relied on by Lao Luo." Li Zhaoshuo was about to explain, when he heard two grinning "hehe" outside the door.

"Mr. Li, your mind is too simple. There are many ways to ask someone to do something."

Li Zhaoshuo didn't understand what he meant, only from the sound of footsteps outside the door, Lao Wen should have walked in front of Luo Weidao.

"Luo Wei said, it's better for you to agree now. When Cai Gang was drinking last night, he still clamored to find out the person who secretly sent the message. Mr. Li is willing to be kind to you, but I may not, maybe one day For Shiaioka's little reward, I confessed you. Of course...you can also confess me, but you also have a family and a job, even if you think about your wife and children at home, It's better than making a fuss right now."

Lao Wen's voice was already very strange, but now that he was threatening people, it was even more chilling to hear.

Li Zhaoshuo was standing inside the door, his mind was running fast.

"Hey...Old Luo! Calm down and think about it carefully. Let me tell you that An Lushan is dead, and the emperor has returned to Chang'an. The Tang army is now gathering in Youzhou, and they will fight An Qingxu soon. You are afraid of Dong Junsheng now, I don't blame you, but I, Li Zhaoshuo, will remember anyone who has helped me, and I will definitely reward you generously in the future. You don't want to be a county official for the rest of your life, do you? ? Lao Luo, I know you, your talents are more than that!"

Li Zhaoshuo spoke forcefully.He and Lao Wen had a black face and a white face, and Luo Weidao was sandwiched between them.

Luo Weidao frowned tightly, standing in front of the gate and thinking for a long time, his head was sweating.

"Eh!"

He heard him suddenly yell, and then stretched out his hand to the door.

"Mr. Li, what the hell is it? Hurry up! But it's only this one time. I don't have any big plans, I just want to live in peace and stability!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhaoshuo quickly handed out the folded cloth strips through the crack of the door.With a whoosh, the strip of cloth was pulled away.Immediately afterwards, there were two slightly sinister laughs from Lao Wen.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, if you had the awareness you have today, you might have fled back to the pass a long time ago."

Lao Wen's mouth has always been very poisonous.Li Zhaoshuo stood inside the door and let out a long sigh, but did not reply.

"After all, the letter was sent out. Let's wait for the result, Lao Wen. If the third brother ignores the past, he will help..."

He said he wanted to deliver a letter, but Lao Luo didn't know where Hu Jiuzhang lived, so he could only wander around the small streets near the county government office, hoping to meet the person he was looking for.

Fortunately, a cripple with a knife was very recognizable among the crowd. Three days later in the evening, Lao Luo saw that familiar face appearing at the end of the small street from a distance, and he hurriedly ran towards Hu Jiuzhang. Out of breath.

"Finally, I finally found you! I'll bring you a letter."

Panting, Lao Luo grabbed Hu Jiuzhang's arm.

Hu Jiuzhang looked at Lao Luo with a bit of guard.

The matter of the Yan family disturbed him, and now he dared not give his trust easily no matter who he was facing.

"Give you."

Lao Luo didn't say anything more, and directly took out a small cloth bag, which contained the blood book written by Li Zhaoshuo to Li Muyun.

"what is this?"

Hu Jiuzhang didn't answer, but opened his mouth to ask a question with a cold face.

"Letter. As for the content, I didn't read it. Mr. Li told me to send it to you."

"How is Mr. Li now?"

Hu Jiuzhang's tone was quite concerned, Lao Luo glanced at him, and sighed softly.

"I'm locked up, but there should be no danger to my life. But... if you and the people behind you really want to know something, you can come and find it yourself. I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't want to participate too much in it."

Lao Luo spoke sincerely. Looking at him, Hu Jiuzhang felt as if he was stung by the undisguised gaze of the person in front of him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his head.

He reached out to take the bag without asking any more questions.

"From now on, we'd better not see each other again."

"I also hope that."

After Luo Weidao finished speaking, he turned and left. Hu Jiuzhang held the cloth bag and looked in the direction he was leaving.

He remembered that when he first arrived in Chang'an, he thought exactly like this person.But sometimes, people are pushed away by fate.Hu Jiuzhang still doesn't feel that he is superior to anyone else, and he even envies the messenger who goes further and further away.If possible, who wouldn't want to live in peace and stability...

Back in Li Muyun's room, the first thing Hu Jiuzhang did was to close the door, blow out a few oil lamps, and only kept the one in front of Li Muyun's bed, and sat beside him.

"What's the matter, old Hu?"

Li Muyun had just taken the medicine, and his face was still slightly red.

His health has really improved a lot, at least in terms of healing, Yan Zhaozhong didn't lie to anyone, and the Yan family didn't do anything bad either.

"A letter from your brother."

He took out the cloth bag from his skirt and handed it to Li Muyun.

"The sender said that your second brother is being locked up now, but his life is not in danger. I think... since he can still send someone to deliver the letter, it means that there are still people in Liaodong City who are helping him. You Don't worry too much, let's see what he wrote first."

"it is good."

Li Muyun's face was calm, until he opened the cloth bag and saw the blood-stained cloth inside, his hands couldn't stop shaking, and his brows furrowed.

He quickly opened the blood-stained cloth, and put his hands on the quilt, but Hu Jiuzhang could still see his fingertips trembling slightly.

"It was written with the blood of your fingers..."

Hu Jiuzhang said in a low voice, he quickly glanced at the contents of the letter, although some things mentioned in the letter made him very excited, but at this moment, his attention was still focused on Li Muyun.

"Hmm..." Li Muyun nodded, his eyes focused on the bloody letter in front of him.

His eyes swept between the lines one by one, and the longer he looked, the weaker the tremor in his hands became.Finally, Li Muyun sighed lightly, and let go of the cloth strip.

"This is the second brother's handwriting. I haven't seen him for nearly five years...I'm afraid he hasn't had a very good life in the past few years." He sighed softly.

"The last time I saw him was in the middle of the night, but hearing the voice, he should be in good health."

Hu Jiuzhang's voice was somewhat comforting, but Li Muyun frowned instead.

"I'm not worried about him."

"No?"

Hu Jiuzhang was a little curious.It must be a lie to say that he is not worried. He can understand Li Muyun's expression better than anyone else, but he just said this suddenly...

"You brothers have a bad relationship?"

"Not good." Li Muyun said in a deep voice, "Or it should be said that it is worse than simply bad. The eldest brother and the second brother were both born to a concubine, and you still remember what my concubine was like People? I wish I could be a little more indifferent to them now."

Li Muyun clenched his fists again as if angry with himself, glaring at the bloody letter.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Hu Jiuzhang smiled and held his fist, and patted him lightly twice.

"But it's a family after all, and he's already begged you for this."

Li Muyun looked at Hu Jiuzhang, and was discouraged for a moment.

"That's all. Look at what he said in his letter... Hu, what do you think?"

"No matter which one of these is a trivial matter." Hu Jiuzhang said in a low voice.

The CCP mentioned three things in Li Zhaoshuo's letter.

First, An Lushan was dead, the Tang army won a great victory in the Central Plains, and the emperor returned to the court.However, the rebel army was not completely wiped out. An Qingxu led the defeated rebel army and was still recruiting troops in the Hebei area.

Second, the rebels who brought Su Wang and Li Zhaoshuo here a year ago were at odds with An Qingxu. After An Lushan died, he wanted to sell Su Wang and his son to the Goguryeo nobles in exchange for money.Moreover, this matter was a conspiracy between the rebel army and the county magistrate.

Third, in order to prevent the upcoming transaction, Li Zhaoshuo asked Li Muyun to send someone to find Jian'an governor Lu Chengan, and asked him to send troops to rescue him.

This first incident can be said to have excited Hu Jiuzhang for quite a while, until now, the heart in his chest is still beating wildly.

I am afraid that no one is more looking forward to hearing the news of Tang Jun's victory than him. So many people were lost in Tongguan, and they were all fresh lives!Until now finally——

"Since An Lushan is dead, it is only a matter of time before the rebels are completely wiped out," Hu Jiuzhang said in a deep voice.

"Indeed, but after all, we know too little about the battle situation in the Central Plains. There is only one point that the second brother is right." Li Muyun looked serious, and Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help but slightly turned to him with that natural solemnity. Leaning forward, she listened obediently to what he had to say.

"Now this emperor, I am afraid that only his father can talk to him. When Emperor Zhide (the reign title of Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty) was the prince, he was often jealous of the emperor. Only the father alone made a love affair for the crown prince in private, but turned around and was treated coldly by the emperor for a long time. Although this matter has passed for nearly ten years, if the emperor Zhide is willing to miss the old love, we can talk about it in the future When rewards and punishments come, they will be seen in father's face, and we will be dealt with lightly. But if father can't return to court, it's hard to say what will happen to us in the future."

When talking about the past in Chang'an, Li Muyun felt as if it was a lifetime away.

And now, it has only been more than a year since he left Chang'an.

"So no matter what, the priority is to save your father. But I only have a little doubt. How many soldiers does this Lu Chengan have in his hand, and is he willing to send troops for this matter? And even if he sends troops, he can't The teacher is unknown, right? Where is King Su, you have to find out before calling for help."

"Yes." Li Muyun sighed lightly.

"Second brother, I'm afraid I thought I brought a lot of people out of the mansion. To do this now is not as simple as just saying a few words."

"and……"

Hu Jiuzhang's face became more serious, and his voice lowered accordingly.

"Little Bai, you have to think about it for yourself. Liaodong City is only this big. Will the news of your entering the city reach the ears of some rebels? I won't go out and spread the news, but the Yan family There are so many people up and down, we have to guard against..."

After Hu Jiuzhang said this, Li Muyun's head was covered with cold sweat.

He was afraid that he had been ill for too long, so he didn't even consider this possibility, but now that Hu Jiuzhang mentioned it, what he thought of was a more dangerous situation.

Could it be... that the various anomalies of the Yan family were also involved in this transaction precisely because of the Yan family?If this is the case, then I am afraid that Li Muyun himself is already a victim of the urn, and it is even false to ask him to rescue him.

Seeing Li Muyun's increasingly gloomy face, Hu Jiuxian obviously thought of the worst situation, his face was livid, but he still held Li Muyun's hand.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaobai. Let's calm down first and don't get confused. We have to report what happened here to the Central Plains. I'll get the pen and ink, and you can write. You have to write to Lu Cheng'an first. If he can really send troops, Then he is the nearest reinforcement to us!"
