Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 111: Once a Hero Draws His Sword
Upper valley.

"Brother, this is the food the court gave us!"

The residents of Rouxuan Town angrily tore open the bags on the car, only to see that most of the food in the bags had gone moldy.

Du Luozhou looked at this scene with a look of extreme dismay.

"Bring He Liuhun here!"

Gao Huan was soon called over, looked at Du Luozhou and bowed.

"Brother Du, what do you want to call me for?"

"Look!"

Gao Huan took a closer look, frowned, took out the dagger again, and slashed several other bags in the car. All of them were the same.

"Is this the food given to us by the imperial court?"

Du Luozhou snorted coldly.

"The true king has disappeared, the brothers of the Six Garrisons have surrendered, and the court doesn't even pretend to be."

"Brother Du, calm down. Now is not the time to turn against the imperial court. The brothers from the Six Garrisons have surrendered and are under strict imperial guard. Their armor and weapons have been taken away. If we confront the imperial army head-on now, we will definitely suffer!"

Du Luozhou was a Chi-Le man, with a strong build. He temporarily suppressed his anger and asked:
"Is there any way to get some food?"

Gao Huan pondered for a while and said:

"It's difficult! At this time, food is scarce in the three states of Heng, Shuo and Yan. If we need food, it must be Yuan Zuan who is guarding Pingcheng or Li Shuang in Mayi."

"Li Shuang?"

Du Luozhou knew very well that Yuan Zuan had food.

After all, after Yuan Shen left, he temporarily guarded Pingcheng, and the treasury was full of grain from the court.

But Du Luozhou had never heard of Li Shuang.

"How can he have food?"

"To be honest, brother, this Li Shuang is Li Chong's adopted son and Erzhu Rong's sworn brother. When he followed Li Shengui to fight against the Six Garrisons, he marched north to attack the Rouran royal court. I sent people to investigate afterwards, and during this battle, he plundered at least hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep from Anagui, as well as tens of thousands of Rouran slaves."

"Apart from distributing these cattle and sheep to his military households and the tribes affiliated with him, the rest were kept on the pastures of Heshuo. Furthermore, his wife is a saint of the Dugu tribe, and she owns a large pasture near Mayi. Now, he is the only one who can have food."

After hearing this, Du Luozhou sighed:
“What a hero!”

In addition to being dissatisfied with the imperial court, the people of the Six Garrisons also disliked Anagui of the Rouran.

After Du Luozhou finished speaking, he looked at Gao Huan with some surprise.

"He Liuhun, why are you so concerned about him?"

"To be honest, brother, I have some problems with him."

Du Luozhou didn't really care after hearing this. After all, they couldn't get along.

"Just because the imperial court is unkind doesn't mean we can't be blamed for being unjust. I'm ready to take up the banner of the True King and gather the people to rebel! He Liuhun, what do you think?"

Gao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Now Xiao Baoyin has lost his troops in Guanlong, suffering heavy losses, yet the Luoyang court has turned a blind eye. The ministers in the court are deceiving their superiors and hiding the truth from their subordinates. How can we not rebel against this court?"

"What a wonderful thing to say!"

"Besides the heroes of Yan, An, You and other states, there is another person who can be contacted and responded to."

"Who?"

"Liu Lisheng!"
-
Hu Sichun stared at Liu Lisheng, and Liu Lisheng also stared at him.

"Why are you here again?"

Hu Sichun looked distressed. This guy had taken his two boxes of gifts but refused to let him go.

He was beaten and recuperated for a long time before he was finally able to walk, but he had no choice but to come back because he was forced by Li Shuang.

"I don't want to come either, but it's been a while. Why doesn't the leader release General Erzhu?"

"Didn't I tell you that I won't let you go until Ohno is satisfied?"

This time, Huke Sichun planned to change his strategy.

"I told the leader the truth. Daye Shuang doesn't care about Erzhu Zhao's life at all."

Liu Lisheng finally raised his head and looked at Hu Sichun straight in the eye.

"Ok?"

"Daye Shuang and Erzhu Zhao have always been at odds. If the leader imprisoned him, Daye Shuang might even wake up laughing in his dreams!"

"Is there still this?"

"The leader can send someone to Sizhou to inquire and find out."

After listening to this, Liu Lisheng pondered for a while and said:
"Yes, I am very satisfied with the two boxes of gifts last time. Bring me ten more boxes. In addition, prepare 500 pieces of cloth, 100 pieces of pork, and 300 iron pots, and I will let him go!" Hu Sichun thought to himself after hearing this:

My goodness, this is going to kill him!

But he could only grit his teeth and rescue Erzhu Zhao first.

"Okay, I'll get ready right now!"

When Hu Sichun was about to leave, Liu Lisheng's men suddenly came to report.

"Chief, that Daye Shuang...he..."

"What's up with him?"

"He kidnapped your son and daughter and wants to exchange them for Erzhu Zhao, and..."

"What else?"

"He also wants twenty rolls of silk and a chest of jewels."

After hearing this, Liu Lisheng didn't get angry but laughed instead, and even felt a little excited.

"Ohnosou finally made a move on me!"

"But we don't have those twenty pieces of silk and a box of jewels!"

Liu Lisheng looked at Huke Sichun and waved his hand.

"Tie him up, take him with Erzhu Zhaoguan, and have his family come to redeem him. They'll demand twenty pieces of silk and a box of jewels!"

"..."

Liu Lisheng's men took Hu Sichun away and heard him shouting from behind.

"Chief, this is all Daye Shuang's evil scheme!"

However, Liu Lisheng didn’t care about all this at the moment. He was filled with excitement.

"Ohnosou is finally coming to rob me!"

"Chief, what should we do about Du Luozhou asking us to join the uprising?"

Liu Lisheng was very impatient and waved his hand.

"What are we rebelling for?"

"Let Ohno So come and attack us!"

"Now that he's come to rob us, why are we rebelling?"

"But your children?"

"It's okay. Da Ye Shuang and I are both heroes. We won't hurt them."

Liu Lisheng looked serious.

"Next, I have to focus on dealing with Ohno Shuang. I don't have the energy to rebel."
-
Mayi.

"Are you Liu Lisheng's children?"

In front of Li Shuang stood four children, three boys and one girl.

The children were all very scared, until they saw Yu Jiulu Qingyu, then they finally calmed down and ran over.

"Sister Qingyu!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Yu Jiulu Qingyu comforted the children very gently.

Li Shuang looked at it and said with a smile:
"In that case, let them follow you!"

"promise!"

At this time, Hou Jing came over and asked:

"My lord, what should we do with Erzhu Zhao and Hu Sichun?"

"Let them stay for now, there's no rush!"

Hou Jing reminded:
"But I heard that some of the Erzhu clan have objections to this, saying that your delay in rescuing me is a sign of personal revenge. Especially the eldest Erzhu, who is obsessed with Erzhu Zhao, and keeps saying he will come to Mayi in person to question you."

When Li Shuang heard this, his expression changed.

Hou Jing sighed, feeling very embarrassed.

"My lord, these two have a deep brotherly bond. If Erzhu really comes to Mayi, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve the situation!"

"This needs to be done quickly!"
