Late Tang

After the rain, the sky cleared and the sun rose.

It was another fine weather, and it was already bright when Li Jing woke up.As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately saw a leather robe covering his body.Raising his head, a slightly tired face with a smile that could not be concealed came into view.

"Brother, are you awake?" Seeing Li Jing waking up, Yu Youniang was slightly startled, her face immediately blushed, and she said shyly.She simply pulled her hair into a flying fairy bun, and she wore a royal blue high-waisted skirt with a willow-green shawl on her arm, and a purple palace sash around her waist.The whole person looks very fresh and refined, very beautiful.What surprised Li Jing especially was her expression, there was a feeling of high spirits between her brows.This made Li Jing a little astonished. Yesterday he couldn't think about doing stupid things, why did he suddenly see the moon today?

Last night was the young lady's life, and when he met him, he opened the door decisively, rescued her, and gave her artificial respiration, otherwise her life would be gone when the doctor was called.As a result, he was doing artificial respiration, but was misunderstood by Li Huier, and it took him a long time to explain to convince them that it was a medical treatment.

After rescuing the man, Yu Youniang woke up and found that she was hugged naked by Li Jing at the first sight, and when her delicate lips were kissed by Li Jing's lips, she fainted again. past.When she woke up again, Li Huier had already dressed her.Li Jing and Li Hui'er were persuading her, but the young lady suddenly changed her attitude, and she seemed to have figured it out all of a sudden, without Li Jing's persuasion, she had already said that she would no longer do stupid things.Although her attitude changed drastically, she even chuckled from time to time, and ate the food brought by the stewards immediately in front of Li Jing, but Li Jing always felt that something was wrong.

Last night, he stayed in the mansion for the whole night, afraid that she was only acting like she was on the surface, and turned around and did something stupid again when they left.Li Hui'er also stayed at the beginning last night, but after Li Jing saw how tired she was, she asked her to go back first.Unexpectedly, I fell asleep in the middle of the night.

He stayed to take care of Yu Youniang, but he didn't expect to fall asleep in the end, but his junior sister covered him with a robe.Fortunately, it seems that the junior sister has indeed figured it out, otherwise Li Jing would regret it now.

"Has Junior Sister woke up long ago?" Judging by her expression, it seems that she didn't sleep last night.

"Can't sleep." When Yu Youniang was speaking, she didn't dare to look directly at Li Jing. "Brother seemed very tired yesterday, he fell asleep immediately and snored. I was afraid that brother would be cold, so I took a robe to cover you." She sat next to Li Jing after last night, Watching Li Jing sleep.Since she was rescued by Li Jing and found out what she was like at that time, and what Li Jing did to her, her feelings for Li Jing couldn't help but take a step further.Now in my heart, I directly regard myself as the woman of my senior brother.Let him see all of his body, and even kissed himself, then she is the brother's woman.Thinking of that kiss, she still felt the burning sensation on her lips.

"Junior sister, if you don't want to go back to Guanzhong right away, you can tell me directly. I will write a letter to my teacher and hand it to the steward to take it back. You can stay here as long as you want."

"Really, senior brother, you want me to stay?" Yu Youniang's face was full of surprise.

Li Jing who was stared at by that scorching gaze felt a little guilty, he knew what she meant.But he couldn't speak directly, so he could only vaguely say: "Yes, Junior Sister can stay as long as she wants. If you feel a little deserted by yourself these few days, you can move to live with the group leader."

"I want to live at my brother's house."

Li Jing smiled wryly, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay." Anyway, let's stabilize her emotions first.

After getting Li Jing's consent, Yu Youniang smiled brightly, like a crabapple blooming in the wind after the rain.She didn't even have time to wait, so she immediately called the steward and maids to move out immediately. Seeing her excited appearance, Li Jing had no choice but to call Zhao Jiang and other guards to help.Before breakfast, several carts of luggage had been moved to Li's residence.Li Jing told his mother and Gui Niang Wan'er only that the young lady was not feeling well these days, and he was a little worried that no one in her house would take good care of her, so he took her to live for a while.Han Shi and Gui Niang didn't think much at all, instead they welcomed her into the mansion very enthusiastically, leaving Li Jing behind with a helpless expression.

It's easy to go in now, but I'm afraid the young lady won't come out easily in the future, maybe the house will be so lively in the future.

We ate breakfast together at home, porridge and mutton soup with a bowl of cold pottery, Li Jing simply went out with the excuse that he had something to do.Back at the town general's mansion, Li Jing didn't go to deal with the fortifications first, but first practiced archery with a bow in the backyard. After shooting a hundred arrows, he practiced the sword technique again, and finally practiced the lance technique .Then I went to the stables. Li Jing now owns six batches of high-quality war horses. Except for the first black horse that was obtained from Feng Liang, the other five horses were either captured or gifted by others.

Among them, Zhao Wang Li Rui accepted a gift from Li Jing last time, and returned a sweat-and-blood horse from the Western Regions. It was five feet tall and golden all over, which was a full foot taller than ordinary war horses.This horse is explosively fast at the run and excellent in battle.There are four other horses, two of which were sent by Song Wei and Yu Yu as a reward, and one was given by him when he formed an alliance with Li Lingfu last time, and the remaining one is a wild horse king, It is a gift from Duli Town not long ago. It is said that it is a horse king captured from the wild horses in Tianchi on Changbai Mountain in Liaodong. But no one has tamed it yet.

As soon as he entered the stable, Li Jing saw that the wild horse king was neighing, very irritable.

"That's it, bring it here, I'm going to tame it well today." Li Jing was feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, seeing this horse, he couldn't help but become persistent.The groom persuaded him with some worry, that this horse is indeed a high-quality horse, but this horse is too strong, and no one has been able to tame it until now.Because of this, Duli Town was so generous in sending such a good horse.If such a fierce horse hurts Li Jing, they will not be able to bear it.

Li Jing insisted, directly led the horse without getting on the saddle, and just jumped on it naked.When the legs were clamped, the horse immediately raised its front hooves, and the whole horse stood up. Li Jing held on to its mane tightly. The horse suffered from pain and began to run wildly. Immediately, tightly gripping the horse's belly, the magnet remained motionless as if it were stuck to an iron plate.

The Mustang King was bouncing and jumping, running wildly, and even changing directions all the time, but he couldn't shake Li Jing off at all.One man and one horse tossed and tossed for a whole morning. In the end, the white horse's white body was also splashed with mud, until finally it was exhausted and stopped, no longer moving.

Li Jing was also quite tired, but seeing that the wild horse king finally showed some signs of taming, he couldn't help but feel very satisfied. After such a tossing all morning, the troubles in Li Jing's life completely dissipated.After dismounting, he pulled the horse directly into the moat that had just been filled with water, and each of them took a brisk bath.It's strange to say that this horse king has been tossing all morning, and now he took a bath with Li Jing, and after being washed by Li Jing for him, his attitude towards Li Jing became a little closer.Several times, he rubbed the horse's head against Li Jing, and when he returned, he stood next to Li Jing and rubbed against him.

"You let me ride you back?"

The wild horse king neighed softly, as if agreeing.Li Jing smiled and rode on the horse, it no longer intended to throw him off, but slowly returned to the city.Back in the stable, the grooms saw Li Jing riding the Mustang King back with ease, and the Mustang King was so tame, they couldn't help but be amazed.Only Zhao Jiang, who was waiting on the hay pile, curled his lips and thought, the yamen can tame even rouge horses like the princess and Gongsun Lan of Jianwu Pavilion, so a wild horse is nothing.

What made him even more amazed was that Ya Nei had just conquered the princess last night, but he had already spent the night at the little lady's house that night. This kind of ability is really beyond compare.

I went back and changed a set of clothes. As soon as I entered the Blue Wolf Hall, Zhang Chengye and Zhang Hong immediately came to see him.

Zhang Chengye said with a smile: "Yanei, we are leaving for Beijing this afternoon, and we will be responsible for escorting the tribute that Yanei Jin presented to His Majesty the Emperor into Beijing. Don't worry, Yanei will deliver the tribute to the emperor safely. I will also deliver gifts from the father-in-law and other officials in the capital. Ya Nei is sincere to His Majesty, and we will definitely find a way to win a title for Ya Nei before His Majesty. Get a viscount back."

"Have you chosen who will escort the tribute with the overseer?" Li Jing asked.

"We chose 200 people from each of the supply camps, and we also selected [-] people with foot strength, plus [-] carts, [-] pack donkeys, and our own [-] guards, and went all the way to Chang'an. There will be no mistakes."

"Let Li Wei dispatch another scout to escort them together. The mountain is high and the road is long. The tribute of more than 100 million, you still have to be careful and take strict precautions against bandits."

"Then I would like to thank Ya Nei." Zhang Chengye quickly thanked him. It is absolutely foolproof to have an elite escort like a scout.

"What's the matter with Zhang Bing Cao?"

"Good thing!" Zhang Hong smiled undisguisedly. "The first batch of indemnities from Duli Town has arrived. 20 copper coins and 100 million bolts of silk are just worth 100 million guan. The things have been sent to Wuhu Island, and Captain Megan who is stationed on Wuhu Island has just sent back a message. Various materials worth 200 million guan have been agreed by Duli Town, and they will be delivered one after another within one month."

Before that, Zhang Hong had been worried that although the representative of Duli Town had signed the compensation contract, he was also worried that Duli Town would not pay for such a large number.Unexpectedly, just two days after Li Jing transferred the Nutao Camp, Zhenhai Camp, and Feiying Scouting Battalion to Wuhu Island, the indemnity from Duli Town had already arrived.

"Axiom and morality are only within the range of our ballista in Shamen Town. Strength is the most important thing." Li Jing nodded, "Zhang Bingcao is ready, and I will take the iron wall camp there later. Wuhu Island, put a little more pressure on Duli Town, so that they can immediately send the remaining 200 million supplies that they owe us."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." With so much money to pay, Zhang Hong was so happy that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.
