This night, Li Danqing slept soundly, and it could be regarded as the most comfortable sleep in the past half a month.After waking up, the sky was bright, and Li Shizi looked out of the sky, I am afraid that it was already past the hour.He secretly wondered why Zhou Qiushen didn't wake him up today, after all, in the past, the old housekeeper would wake him up on time.Li Danqing muttered in his heart, but he still sat up for the first time, and after washing up in the room, he stretched his waist and pushed the door open.Their residences are all located in the atrium of the Shizi's Mansion, next to Li Shizi's study, and opposite is the residence of everyone.In the past, at this time, people could probably be seen playing in the opposite wing, and even if they didn't, some laughter could be heard, but today the atrium was surprisingly deserted, and no sound could be heard except for the gusts of wind in late autumn."
Where has this man gone?"
Li Danqing muttered in his heart, thinking like this, he walked towards the outer courtyard, pushed open the door, the outer courtyard was still deserted, and there was no trace of everyone."
It's strange, these guys swore yesterday that they would live and die with the son of this world, and live and die together, why are they all missing today, so they fled in a cowardly fight?"
Li Shizi said.At this time, the door on the side was suddenly pushed open, but Xue Yunzheng walked out with a bowl of rice porridge, and when he saw Li Danqing, he grinned and said, "You are awake, come and eat." ”As he spoke, he put the bowl in his hand on the stone table next to the pavilion, and found chopsticks from the side, and brought a bowl of hot buns aside, and then looked at Li Danqing with a smile, with a warm expression.It's just that when he looked at Li Shizi, Li Shizi stared at him with a strange expression."
What's wrong?"
Xue Yun was a little uncomfortable by him, and asked at that time."
So what you said is true!"
Li Danqing said in surprise as if he had discovered something extraordinary.It was probably because Li Shizi's performance was so startled that Xue Yun was taken aback, and he glanced at Li Danqing angrily and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
What did you really say?
”"What else can be said?
Say that you covet the beauty of this son, and since you joined the Great Wind Temple, you have plotted against this son!
”Li Danqing said with a serious face.Xue Yun, who thought that Li Shizi would say something amazing, heard this, his head was big for a while, and he said: "Sure enough, it is the one who is close to Zhu and the one who is close to the ink is black." ”"Yan Zhen is getting more and more unorthodox day by day, you like to talk nonsense day by day, you guys are really worthy."
Saying this, Xue Yun didn't forget to give Li Shizi a thumbs up, which was regarded as a compliment.Li Danqing didn't seem to be able to hear the mockery in Xue Yun's mouth, and continued seriously: "Then how do you explain, today the people in this mansion went to the empty building, but you stayed in this mansion, and prepared such a table of food for me. ”Xue Yun rolled his eyes: "They all went to the army to help, seeing that you are so tired these days, so no one called you, I am also responsible for taking care of the property in the courtyard, so I went late, if you sleep a little longer, I will go out too." ”"Besides, you don't pee on yourself, my family is not a thousand times more beautiful than you, don't put such a good girl, covet you old man, are you sick or am I sick?"
Li Danqing was speechless for a while, he tilted his head and thought about it, probably couldn't find any words to refute the other party, so he could only say stupidly: "That's right." ”Xuan even breathed a long sigh of relief, and seemed to be relieved, so he sat down at the stone table on the pavilion and began to eat.Xue Yun looked at Li Danqing with some amusement, and he didn't know where to find a wine jug, sat on the side and took a sip, and then said: "After so many things, you haven't changed at all, and you still look like you used to be." ”Li Danqing took a sip of porridge, glanced at Xue Yun with a sigh on his face, and said, "Don't you still like to pretend like the same as before?"
”Xue Yun didn't show the slightest annoyance because of Li Danqing's mockery, he grinned and said, "I used to pretend, but now I'm really worried." ”"Worried?
What to worry about?
Afraid of death!?
”Li Danqing seemed to have discovered a new world, and suddenly became interested and leaned over.You must know that in the past, when he was in the Gale Courtyard, Xue Yun stole his own limelight, and if he could get something bad about the other party, he could satisfy a little bit of Li Shizi's bad taste.Xue Yun glanced at Li Danqing and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
”"It's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that what the old man asked me to do, I have to do it for him, otherwise when I get to the spring, he beats me, and I can't stand it in this life."
Li Danqing shrugged his shoulders and said stupidly.Xue Yun said: "You are always like this, you obviously want to do it yourself, but you always like to use others as a reason, and generously admit that you are a person who worries about the country and the people, is it difficult?"
”Li Danqing, who heard this, thought about it, but said, "It's really difficult. ”"Ji Qi's bastard killed my old man, but I'm guarding the country for him now, this matter, to be honest, I'm quite awkward."
Li Danqing said it seriously.Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think of this stubble, he frowned and thought about it, and then nodded thoughtfully: "It's really awkward." ”"But why do you have to do it so awkwardly?
Could it be because of Concubine Ji?
”"If you want to say that this Xiwen Jun, Xia Siming, and even Yanzhen Song Tong'er are not much worse than Concubine Ji, can they fight for their lives for a flower?""
Although this son likes beautiful girls, but it has not yet reached the point where he doesn't want to live for beauty, that's not what a gentleman does, this son is soft-hearted, you look at the homeless people outside Wuyang City, they don't have enough clothes, they can't eat enough, how can they still be human, the old man can't see this scene, I follow him, and I can't see it, not to mention, the 400,000 white wolf army who died in Longwuguan is the old man's heart, the treasure in his hand, to them, he is closer than my own son, this revenge can't be avenged, right?
So, for the sake of reason, I have to do all this. ”Li Danqing shook his head and said with a wry smile.After saying this, he was stunned again, suddenly looked at Xue Yun, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's you, you come to blind ginseng and something, it's better to take Ning Xiu to get out of the house quickly, stay here to hinder the eyes of the son of this world, go back to Prison Dragon Mountain, close the door, and give birth to a bunch of fat dolls with Ning Xiu, wouldn't it be beautiful." ”Facing Li Danqing's ridicule, Xue Yun shook his head with a wry smile: "This matter, even if I am willing, Xiu'er's temper, I am afraid that I will not agree." ”"I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of being looked down upon by her."
Li Danqing heard what Xue Yun said at this moment, and no longer had the previous ridicule, but was sincere, he suddenly became interested, stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth, and then asked: "This is strange." ”"You said that before, when you were in Yingshui County, Youyun had an army of 400,000 people, and we only had tens of thousands of people in our hands, so I didn't see you say a word, but now, you look indecisive."
Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, he thought about it seriously, and then said: "At that time, I was alone, although I had some affection with Xiu'er, but after all, I hadn't reached that step, in the first half of my life, I wanted to find out the details of the Palace of Eternal Life and avenge my parents. ”"Now that I have become close to Xiu'er, I have spent some days in the prison Dragon Mountain, and the things that I am reluctant to give up suddenly have become more, so I am suddenly afraid of death.""
Thinking that if this is dead, I will never see that face again, I can't accompany her to practice, I can't eat with her, I can't watch her from the bedside......"
Xue Yun said very melancholy, but Li Danqing, who heard this, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the other party."
Ahem.That's pretty much it, if you keep talking, it's not suitable for children......"
Li Danqing said.Xue Yun didn't care, raised his head and took another sip of wine, and then handed the wine jug to Li Danqing.Li Danqing waved his hand and said, "There are many things to do today, this son must stay sober." ”Xue Yun was also free and easy, and didn't persuade much, but just asked, "What about you?"
Are there many beautiful girls in your world's mansion?
Aren't you afraid that if you die, you won't see them?
Are you willing?
”"Naturally, I am reluctant, but this battle can save more beautiful girls, why is it not cost-effective?"
Li Danqing said lightly.Xue Yun also knew that in this guy's mouth, ten sentences, it would be a great thing to be able to have one sentence true.He didn't say much, just smiled faintly, and immediately drank the wine in his hand, and then stood up.He glanced at Li Danqing, who was already full of food and drink, and said: "In this case, then let's go, do some good work today, you can save more girls, this is a big deal, you can't be sloppy." ”When Li Shizi heard this, he didn't pay attention to it, he stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, also stood up, and said with a smile: "It makes sense, it's time to go." ”Seeing this, Xue Yun was about to catch up with Li Danqing, but suddenly something sounded, and asked again: "By the way, there is one thing that I have always thought was quite strange. ”"Didn't Longwu Pass claim to have 600,000 white wolf troops back then?
This time, it was said that the White Wolf Army had all died in battle, but where did the remaining 200,000 go?
”Li Danqing blinked, looked at the other party and said, "Wasn't it broken up by the imperial court and incorporated into various military departments?"
It's no secret. ”"When I was in Youyun, the White Wolf Army that came to the aid from all over the country did not have 200,000, they all seemed to be just veterans."
Xue Yun said with a frown."
What?"
Li Danqing asked with a smile.Xue Yun looked at Li Danqing with a smile on his face, and seemed to think of something, but he didn't break it, just waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." ”…… When Li Danqing and Xue Yun came to the barracks, the scene in the barracks made Li Shizi, who was also accustomed to seeing the world, a little stunned for a while.In the open space in front of the big tent of the barracks, all kinds of supplies were piled up.Rice, grain, and ordnance are varied.At the gate of the barracks, there were people carrying all kinds of things, and Gongsun Zhi led a group of armor soldiers to count the goods there, and Liu Yanzhen, Song Tong'er and others on the side were also helping to take care of it.Hundreds of people are busy working together, but they are still a little overwhelmed.At the same time, on the other side, Zhou Qiushen and Lu Shude were also counting the materials piled up into a hill in the middle of the barracks, while commanding the soldiers in the army to store these materials and return them to the warehouse, and they were also very busy.Seeing Li Danqing coming, Gongsun Zhi on the side hurriedly put down the guy in his hand, walked over, looked at Li Danqing with an excited face and said, "Shizi!
You're here!

Today, the people who came to raise donations are like carp crossing the river, and there are countless of them!
”"We have a lot of supplies, I'm afraid we will have to send another thousand soldiers to keep up with the progress."
Li Danqing saw this moment, this man was happy in his heart, he smiled and said: "If there is a need, although it is deployed, although the run-in of the troops is important, but we are indeed short of food and grass materials now, and it is a good thing to be able to take over a little more materials." ”"By the way, how many materials do you have?"
Hearing this, Gongsun hurriedly responded, the quantity is a bit huge, plus the types are different, and it will take time to count, but the bulk donations have probably been calculated: "The total amount of silver taels is 270,000 taels, the total amount of rice grain is 46,000 stones, and in the case of ordnance, the weapons are more than 3,000 pieces, but there is a weapon shop that has already taken over a batch of orders for arrows from me, the price is cheap, it can be regarded as half donating and half buying, and there are also a lot of various medicinal herbs, but I still have time to count." ”Li Danqing was also a little surprised, he never thought that in such a short period of time, he would receive such a large number of donations.He nodded secretly, but then said: "The amount of these donations is indeed huge, but there is still a lot of material shortfall we need, as far as grain and grass are concerned, 200,000 troops have to consume 4,000 stone a day, and the donation of more than 40,000 stone sounds like a lot of money, but in fact, it is the consumption of ten days, and we still have to recruit troops, the consumption of grain and grass will be even greater, or we have to start from all aspects, have you contacted the Dragon Elephant Mansion?"
”Gongsun Zhi nodded again and again, and when he heard Li Danqing's inquiry, he hurriedly responded: "I went to see the Xiahou Mansion Lord early in the morning, and the Xiahou Mansion Lord guaranteed that there would be no mistakes in the supply of grain and grass. ”"Longxiang Mansion has enough grain and grass, and these can be trusted by Xiahou Boyang."
Li Danqing was quite satisfied with this answer.And Gongsun Zhi went on to say at that time: "Although there is no big problem in terms of grain and grass, but ......"
"But there is a shortage of war horses in the army, and now there are 200,000 troops, but there are less than 20,000 war horses, if it is based on the city and defended, it is no hindrance, but if you want to confront the Liao people head-on, the number of war horses is extremely important, as far as I know, the 800,000 Liao army is equipped with high-quality war horses, and the mobility is far from being comparable to the replenishment of troops, and if what Chu Pang said that day is true, there is really such a strange Yin soldier, The mobility of the war horse will also be an important guarantee for us against those yin soldiers. ”Li Danqing also understood that what the other party said was true, he nodded, and said: "War horses are indeed expensive, and the war horses that can be compared to the black dragon horses of the Liao people in the entire Wuyang Dynasty are only produced in the southern Xinjiang Chiyun Ride, but I heard that the Chiyun Ride is expensive, each horse is worth a hundred taels or more, and the silver money in our hands is probably only enough to buy a few thousand horses, compared to this, the gap is still very large." ”"Hmm."
Speaking of this, Gongsun Zhi's face was also slightly ugly."
Not only the war horses, but also the quotation on some of the ordnance that Daliangsi has made for us is extremely expensive, they have colluded with Xiang Luowen, they are the princelings of the Eight Classics here, although the prince's actions yesterday shocked them, and now they are supported by the people, they dare not make a mistake on the surface, but they are embarrassed everywhere because of the lack of silver, and it is probably impossible to find help from them."
Li Danqing smiled and said: "It's not a person all the way, it's good that they can watch from the wall, and it's impossible to want them to help, but after all, it's honest, and I'm not good to force it too hard, let them go, let's think of a way." ”"By the way, how is the recruitment business?"
Of course, Gongsun Zhi also understood this truth, and he hurriedly said: "Several locations have been set up in Wuyang City, and there are some participants one after another, but I haven't had time to count the specific number of people. ”"Hmm......"
Li Danqing nodded again, he was secretly thinking about all kinds of events, and now the most urgent things in front of the army were nothing more than three things, one was ordnance, the second was conscription, and the third was war horses.In the final analysis, the trouble of the other three is just one thing - no money.Li Danqing probably didn't expect that he who could spend tens of thousands of taels of silver overnight would really have the dilemma of stumbling the hero with this penny one day.And the more he got to this time, the more Li Shizi couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, if Jin Liuxiang was there, it would be good.That girl's skill in this regard is far more than several times that of Li Danqing, if she is there, I think she can come up with some way to solve the dilemma in front of her."
Dean!"
And at this moment, Song Tong'er and Liu Yanzhen suddenly walked over quickly.Looking at the excited looks on the faces of the two, Li Danqing was a little strange: "What's wrong?"
”"Remember what I told you yesterday?
The shopkeeper of a chamber of commerce asked us about the materials we are short of, and I listed some for him, focusing on the number of war horses, and he really came with war horses today. ”Song Tong'er's face turned red and she said, obviously extremely excited.Li Danqing also smiled when he heard this: "Yes, take me to meet him." ”Li Danqing didn't think that the war horses donated by the other party could meet the needs of the army, and wanted to play a little role in the Liao people through cavalry, they had to have at least 50,000 cavalry, but the current gap was still 30,000, so the difference was 3 million taels of silver, even the Wuyang royal family couldn't get it, Li Danqing naturally didn't have too much hope for a chamber of commerce boss.But after all, other people's intentions are there, and Li Danqing still has to meet him out of courtesy.Liu Yanzhen and Song Tong'er nodded when they heard this, and hurriedly led the way in front, Li Danqing asked casually while following the two: "By the way, how many war horses did this shopkeeper bring?"
”Hearing this, Liu Yanzhen stretched out three fingers and gestured in front of Li Danqing."
Three hundred?
It's not bad, this shopkeeper has a heart. ”Li Danqing said.That's a full 30,000 taels of silver, which is not a small amount, and it is already the largest donation they have received.But Liu Yanzhen frowned at this time, and said angrily: "What three hundred!"
”"It's three thousand!
And the shopkeeper said that this is just the first number, and there are more than 10,000 war horses behind, which will be delivered one after another!
”
