On this day, the prefect of Jinyang sent another person to tell Li and Tang to discuss the matter of recruiting security in Maro Mountain. This time, not only the previous county magistrates were on both sides, but two special people were also here to listen. That is Xie Cheng'an, the Jinyang Propaganda Envoy, and Zhao Xingqing, the Sancunhu.
The difference from last time is that this time both of them have their own seats. After Tong Guangxian's previous conversation with Li Tang broke up unhappy, all the officials did not dare to underestimate this young man who had just escaped from trouble. The officials were as silent as before, just listening silently. Only Lingxi county magistrate was restless. Maro Mountain is not far to the east of Lingxi Town, and it is Lingxi Town that is most threatened by it. Time is hard to solve these things, and it is still unknown what the life of Lingxi Town will become in the future.
Between the words, Tong Guangxian did not give any special preferential treatment conditions. Bandits are bandits, and they must be distinguished from ordinary people. Bandits are used to being free and unrestrained in daily life. Heifengzhai rebelled again, and deliberately put their group's settlement near the Jinyang military camp, but Li Tang insisted on leaving them the land of Nanyuan Xiaowei's camp in Lingxi town.
The land of Lingxi town to the south is an important passage to the south. If they were to guard it again and occupy the land to stand on its own again, the consequences might be even more troublesome than it is now. Tong Guangxian sternly rejected it. When the two sides were about to break up, Xie Chengan stood When he came out, his face was sinking like water, and he said without any waves: "My little girl Wenyu was a guest at your house before, so please take care of me."
"What did Mr. Xie say? Although Wen Yu is a woman, she has a heroic spirit and courage. If she can enter the rivers and lakes, she might be able to become a heroine." Li Tang said with his hands clasped.
"Girls are girls. How can they become masters like that rude man who fights and kills all day long? I like reading, but my little girl is unmoved by it. She is especially fond of that rogue man. That day I After taking her back to her home, Wen Yu made a fuss for a few days, arguing that she wanted to wander the world with the Chu family boy, and cried bitterly for several days when she found out about the Chu family, and for some reason, said that she wanted to go out to find you Who would have thought that Li Tang, the son of Li Zongye, who is known as a carp genius, would hang out with the bandits, and I don't know what it will be like to tell Wen Yu."
Xie Chengan fixed his eyes on Li Tang, and his tone was eloquent, without the slightest fluctuation. Zhao Xingqing was stroking his much thinner beard. It was obvious that Wen Yu had taken revenge on him a lot during this time, but the more this The more Li Tang can feel the tragic scene of Xie Wenyu, a son of an official who wants to travel all over the world, but is ruthlessly imprisoned at home by his old father. On this point, Xie Chengan is undoubtedly pedantic. He allowed his eldest son to go thousands of miles away to Dongshan City, Qingzhou, to go to Jixia Academy, where the world's students admired him, to learn how to assist the government, but he did not let his daughter travel to the rivers and lakes to make a name for herself.
In fact, Xie Chengan loves Xie Wenyu much more than Xie Wenyuan. He doesn't want his daughter to suffer outside, but let her stay at home and enjoy the fruits of his hard work for most of his life. However, the more he Doing this, the more irritable and painful Wenyu felt, the stronger the resistance to him. If parents' spoiling and indulgence can make a person swell without knowing it, then this kind of pervasive love will make a person even more so. Nervous breakdown.
Li Tang's face was gloomy. His good friend was being imprisoned by the person in front of him. He was suffering from torture that she shouldn't have suffered. He wanted to pull Xie Wenyu out of the quagmire, but he was powerless. It is very likely that the imperial court will pay the children of the rivers and lakes. He was worried and worried, and he didn't know how to answer Xie Cheng'an for a while.
He knew that Xie Wenyu would be amazed when he heard what he saw now, and that the life Xie Wenyu longed for was exactly this kind of unfettered life, but he just didn't know how to talk to this father who was wrong and didn't know it. His inadvertent remarks angered Xie Chengan, maybe he will be more strict and send more people to watch Xie Wenyu's daily life, then the situation will become uncontrollable. Thinking of this, Li Tang asked with a smile: "Master Xie, what should we do now?" Didn¡¯t you come here to discuss my Heifeng Village? Why did you bring up Wenyu again? Could it be possible that Mr. Xie can let Wenyu come with me to see the scenery on the mountain? It¡¯s the time when the flowers are blooming and the wind is warm Now, maybe Wenyu will be very envious of this when he comes."
"Hmph, I'm talking about Ma Luoshan. You, Li Tang, are also from a famous family, so you are willing to become Jiang Tianhe's running dog? Jiang Tianhe is a deserter. The government gave him such preferential treatment, which is enough to give him face. If the toast is not eaten, the Jinyang army can destroy the Chu family, so it may not be able to hand over Ma Luoshan."
"My lord is threatening me?"
"It is you who are threatening the Jinyang Mansion and the imperial court. Right now, only you and Heihuzhai are left in Jinyang. YouI thought about that idea and worked hard.
What kind of strength can support such a thin body and carry the dry wood that is half the height of a person, and what kind of spirit can make him firmly believe in the ideal in his heart, no matter how outsiders ridicule him, how afraid His wife humiliated and abused him, and there was an old mother who was considerate of her son, and there was still a persistence in his heart that filled his heart. Maybe this day would not show him the light after all, but he still moved forward firmly. go.
It is these seemingly useless people who can always jump out when the world is in crisis, and lead the world to a bright and smooth ideal.
Li Tang sighed secretly, and then said: "Today is my last day in Jinyang City, and I will leave early tomorrow morning. If you want to follow me, you can come to the inn to find me. If you figure it out in the future, you can also come to Lingxi Town Look for a man named Jiang Han at Maruo Mountain in the east."
"Isn't Maro Mountain a den of bandits? I don't understand why such a great talent, sir, is subservient to work with bandits."
"There is nothing that cannot be explained. Today's Maro Mountain is no longer the former Maro Mountain. In the future, Cangzhou will respect Maro Mountain. The people of Cangzhou will never be harassed by bandits again. Maro Mountain is also the only green forest in Cangzhou." Li Tang said lightly.
"In other words, the purpose of sir's coming here is to influence the bandits in Mount Maro. Sir, the people of Cangzhou will never forget it. I have never asked you what your name is. I will share the conversation between us. Write it into a book, and when it is passed on in the future, it will be better to know who Mr. is."
Li Tang didn't want to tell him his name, but he couldn't stand Song Heming's pestering, so he said calmly: "I am the son of Li Zongye, the Duke of Rong, as we said before. My name is Li Tang." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, leaving only a shabby-clothed scholar standing there in a daze.
The two walked towards the inn. Jiang Fei'er, who hadn't used his brains all this time, thought about it, and asked suddenly: "Counsel! Aren't you called Chu Tang? Why are you called Li Tang again? Tell me, what's your name?" , What on earth are you doing at my Maro Mountain!"
Seeing Jiang Feier's serious question, Li Tanghan laughed loudly: "What do you call me? I have been on your mountain for so long, and you still haven't seen what I am here for? Your military advisor, Jiang Han, has already See through me, I just entered the rivers and lakes for the first time and had nowhere to go, I just happened to be kidnapped by you and went up the mountain, and I just didn¡¯t know where to go, so I just stayed on your mountain for a while, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m going to leave after a while , Ma Luoshan is also Li Tang's brother, if there is any trouble in the world in the future, I will definitely come to help."
"Hmph, what's the difficulty? If you dare to deceive my mother, ask for a beating!"
The two of them fought and fought and went all the way to the inn to rest. The next day, the two of them didn't leave in a hurry. They didn't come out of the inn until noon to prepare to go back. As soon as they left the gate of the city, they saw a familiar figure in ragged clothes standing behind him. In front of a crooked-necked tree, a rope was hung from the tree. The man fastened the buttons, and was about to die, but was interrupted by Li Tangyuan's breath, and the two of them immediately stepped forward to check. It was Song Heming who chatted with me yesterday.
