When Luo Yi and his son led three or four hundred remaining soldiers to retreat into Yongnu County, they led five hundred Youzhou cavalry to guide them, and finally retreated safely into the county town.

Li Chongjiu and Yuchi Gong led 5,000 troops to fight under the city

Luo Yi led the generals to stand at the city. Luo Jun saw Li Chongjiu's subordinates provoking the scene with great might. The superiors and subordinates were discouraged.

Luo Yi himself was even more angry. Yesterday, he was still the lord of Zhuo County. Today, he gave all of them to Li Chongjiu. Luo Yi punched the cliff heavily on the trunk, without saying a word, his eyes were full of redness.

Seeing that Luo Yi failed to defend the city, Li Chongjiu did not force his subordinates to attack the city. After leading his troops around the city, he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Ji County.

It was already stable in Jixian City. After the officials who had plundered Luo Yi and the wealthy families of Zhuo County were rescued by Li Chongjiu, they were grateful while comparing Li Chongjiu with Luo Yi. They couldn't help but feel nervous, especially Lu Ziqian. When they saw that General Xu Lang, the famous Queen Li Chongjiu, they were stunned.

The army returned to Zhuo County. Li Chongjiu rode his horse and led his army into the city, but saw the people of Zhuo County Shixiang greeted each other on the road.

When Li Chongjiu saw Su Su, he actually quelled the chaos in Ji County in one day and won the hearts of the people. He was surprised that Su Su had quelled the rebellion in Ji County within one day and organized people to extinguish all the places where Luo Yi set fire before leaving. After doing this, Su Su sent people to calm the hearts of the people, strictly enforce military discipline, and the soldiers passed by the army without any crime.

The people of Zhuo County thought that a rebellion would cause a catastrophe in the city, but seeing Su Su dealing with it in such an orderly manner, they all have a good impression of Li Chongjiu. In addition, Li Chongjiu defeated Gao Kaidao in Anle County before, and the rescue of the people made Li Chongjiu quite popular as soon as he entered Ji County.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu dismounted on the roadside to receive congratulations from the people of Shixiang. The generals and the foreign soldiers who followed him were also proud of their honor.

The people of Zhuo County watched from the road, and how the young and famous Li Chongjiu looked like. The road was filled with people, crowded, even more so than the temple fair.

Among the corners of the crowd next to the street, Qu Yanran and Yunniang were both wearing mili, hiding their faces deep, watching the Hu cavalry who were wrapped in sheepskin, holding horn bows, left-side lapels, tied with braids or loose hair passing by, with Hu cavalrymen wrapped in sheepskin, holding horns, and wearing laces.

Yunniang said softly to Qu Yanran: "On the day Luo Yi entered the city, the people were avoiding their houses and did not dare to go out. The huge Ji County is like a dead city. Today, this boy entered the city, and the people lived in a crossroads to greet him. Do you think this boy is really lucky or has won the hearts of the people? You see, there are people who have good deeds, put out the incense table and burn incense to welcome him. Oh, this boy."

Qu Yanran smiled lightly and looked at the people on the other side of the street, smiling, saying, "This is what wins the people's hearts, will win the world."

At this time, a wool-shaped star came slowly from the distance of the street. In the crowds, Qu Yanran and the others could only see the top of the star. From a distance, they looked like a sail, walking on the sea.

"It's Li Envoy!"

The people suddenly became enthusiastic, pressed on the sidelines and stroked their chests, but showed a bit of nervousness. They stood there, letting the crowds around them squeeze by her.

Yunniang couldn't help but sigh when she saw it. She saw a young man wearing a white wool cloak, black hair and bright light armor inside, riding a chestnut horse, and slowly walking. All the people turned their eyes to each other.

Chunxi, who was standing behind Yunniang, was stunned for a moment, Chunxi turned her head and said to Dongqing, "Holly, am I dreaming!"

Dongqing said, "Chunxi, I was about to say this to you, otherwise you can pinch me."

"Okay, you can pinch me too."

Oh, the two maids pinched each other and looked at Li Chongjiu above. At this time, they looked at each other. It was unimaginable that Brother Li, who was joking with them all day long, had no airs, was actually Li Chongjiu.

"Yunniang, Miss, what's going on?"

"Shut up, let's talk about it later. You can't mention it now," Yunniang said, looking at Li Chongjiuyan and said, "What do you think is like a prince? In terms of appearance, he is just a peddler and a peddler, a cart and a pulp seller. Even Chunxi Dongqing doesn't think he has the style of a superior person."

Chunxi and Dongqing smiled embarrassedly when she heard this

Qu Yanran smiled and said, "Yunniang, you have said enough. I know you are speaking for me, but Brother Li does have extraordinary things, so you don't need to belittle him like this."

Yunniang sighed and said, "Miss, you are right. The situation of a person is really unpredictable. When I was beside the King of Qi, I saw him as just a follower. How could I expect that today I live as a prince? It's still a lady, you have vision."

Qu Yanran lowered her head and said, "Okay, let's go back and talk to the boss of Mingyuelou, prepare a carriage, we will leave the city overnight, I will not stay in Zhuo County again."

"Miss, are you?"

Qu Yanran's face showed a clear and proud look and said, "I have decided, that's it."

After Li Chongjiu led his army into the city, he went to the government office to rest and then came to the arsenal of the south of the city. It was the place where Yang Guang conquered Liao and stored armor. Among them, there were countless armor and weapons. The first thing Li Chongjiu had when he got Jixian was of course to inspect his arsenal and count the biggest spoils.

Seeing Li Chongjiu coming in person, the former arsenal order in the city, he smiled and said, "I have seen Li Jun and have been waiting for him for a long time."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "It's great, please open the warehouse door."

The arsenal order smiled and said, "Eunuch, I'm saying that, I'm going to be a low-ranking position, but one person can't get a low-ranking position. There are three locks in this arsenal, one county magistrate, one low-ranking position, and one Xue Gong, the remaining guard of Zhuo County, and three locks can be opened together before entering the warehouse."

Before Li Chongjiu could speak, Wang Mahan behind him angrily shouted: "You are so stupid, just locked, you're still coming to quarrel, just smash it open."

Upon hearing this, the Arsenal Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, this general, but this lock is very strong and cannot be broken in a short time. Since the envoy is destined, I will smash it now."

"Slowly," Li Chongjiu spoke, thought for a while, and said immediately: "Don't rush to smash the lock. I'll go to Mr. Xue's mansion in person and take the keys to the fourth uncle. Please go and talk to the county magistrate of this city."

Su Su promised now

However, Ying Hefu, Ertuo, Yan Yelie and others were waiting for the generals. They were also watching how many spoils they had with Li Chongjiu, but for such a hindrance, I didn't know why Li Chongjiu was so in Jixian County. Li Chongjiu had the right to kill and plunder the people in the city. If they wanted the key, they would just send someone to Xue Shixiong's mansion to get it. If they didn't follow, they would just kill them all. Why bother so much? Wouldn't it be like taking off their pants and fart

But after complaining, the generals did not dare to criticize Li Chongjiu in person, so they followed Li Chongjiu to Xue Mansion together.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu and the generals and hundreds of cavalry came to the gate of Xue Mansion. Li Chongjiu turned over and dismounted, looked at the door-guard general who was surprised and suspicious in front of the gate, and said, "I'll report it to you and say that Li Chongjiu, the governor of Shanggu County, came to pay homage to Mr. Xue in person!"

After hearing this, the general of the family changed his expression, so he hurriedly entered the house to report that a dozen soldiers from the Qu family came out with swords, guns and sticks. The two men each held a spear, standing on both sides of the gate like a left and right door god. Then a man in his thirties stood up and said, "I'm in the Xue family's Dalang Wanshu, I don't know which one is Li Envoy."

Li Chongjiu stepped forward and said, "I am"

Xue Wanshu saw Li Chongjiu's appearance clearly and was surprised, but this expression flashed through the other party, who looked like he didn't know Li Chongjiu, and said, "I heard that Li Jun came here. My father was in bed and could not see guests. Please ask Li Jun to go back."

This is a rejection

Etuo sneered and said, "Are all the Han people so popular? I will set off the fire here, which made Mr. Xue sweat in a cold sweat, and the disease will be cured."

"Bold!" The two men behind Xue Wanshu, who had similar appearances to him, walked forward with a spear with a spear

One person said, "My Xue family is also something you can insult."

Xue Wanshu reached out and said to Li Chongjiu: "These two are my disciples, Wan Jun and Wan Che, have never known etiquette, please forgive me."

Li Chongjiu smiled and bowed and said, "I am the one who is in charge of the country. Since Mr. Xue is seriously ill, I will visit Mr. Xue in person. This should be fine."

"Brother, no"

Xue Wanshu also looked embarrassed, but said, "Okay, I'll go and inform my father and see what he means."

Not long after, Xue Wanshu came out and said, "Father, I have agreed to Li Jun's request."

At that moment, Li Chongjiu nodded and brought thirty soldiers to the door, leaving the rest outside the door.

Xue's mansion is not big. When Xue Wanshu led the way, Li Chongjiu immediately entered the atrium and entered the house. He saw a man in his fifties lying on the bed, looking at the place carefully.

Li Chongjiu also looked back. This famous general who was left behind by the Sui Dynasty, only half of his breath was left.

The eyes met, Li Chongjiu immediately bowed and said, "I'm here to pay a visit to Mr. Xue."

After Li Chongjiu spoke, Xue Shixiong did not speak, but just closed his eyes.

Neither the other party made a sound, Li Chongjiu didn't speak either. The sandalwood stove in front of him was filled with smoke, and only Xue Shixiong's slightly heavy breathing sound was left in the room.

Outside the house, Li Chongjiu's soldier walked anxiously, Wang Mahan and Ying Hefu stood under the steps of Xue's mansion and confronted the Xue family several sons.

After a long time, Xue Shixiong opened his eyes and said, "The key is here, envoy Li will take it."
