Li Hong gently punched Wen Chou and said to them: "Everyone is in the big tent, Zilong has prepared all the supper."

Wen Chou shouted, "Forget it, that's also called supper? A big cake and a bowl of rice soup, that's also called supper. When I was in Xiangguo City, I had six or seven side dishes every night, and the little lady with the tiger head was the skill..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Hong kicked him over, "You have oily mouth. Has Hutou paid back the debt you owe?"

Wen Chou dodged with a smile, shook his hands repeatedly and said, "Sir, don't touch your feet, don't touch your feet, your feet are too powerful. Hey, sir, how do you know that Hutou hasn't paid back the money?"

"He eats so extravagantly at night, but thinks that his salary is definitely not enough for the other two meals." Li Hong smiled, "Don't expect to pay back the tiger's head anymore, just take it as a meal."

Wen Chou suddenly said bitterly: "That's my salary for several months. If he doesn't pay it back, I will lose a lot."

Everyone laughed wildly.

"Has the old man come?" Li Hong asked Gao Lan.

"He's here, he's going to find Mr. Tian." Gao Lan replied.

"You guys get in, I'll go and tell me something about it with an old friend." Li Hong jumped on Zhang He's war horse and ran to Tian Chong's tent.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

When Li Hong saw Lao Guai, he was so happy that he held Lao Guai's hand tightly and said, "Has the old man told you?"

Lao Gui nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern. But the brothers' ideas must be the same as mine. No one is willing to leave Fengyun Iron Cavalry, and no one is willing to leave adults."

Li Hong said slowly, "Lao Guai, don't be irritated. You have to think about it. It is easy to imagine how hard you have to walk thousands of miles to Xiliang. When you arrive in Xiliang, the battle will definitely be fierce. With the courage of the Qianghu and Xiliang people, it is difficult for us to gain any advantage. Do you need to suffer such suffering from us? You can take the money and go back to Lulongsai or Xu Wushan, farm and eat by yourself, barely, and you can still live."

Lao Guai was silent.

"We are all brothers of life and death, and I won't hide some words from you. We have won too many battles and are too sharp. We have become the thorn in the eyes of some powerful figures in Kyoto. We must get rid of them and get it out soon. Even if we arrive in Xiliang, I have no way to predict what kind of experience we will encounter. Once we have an accident in Xiliang, we will be defeated or framed by powerful officials in the court, it will be a disaster." Li Hong advised earnestly.

The old crutch is a little wet and does not make any sound.

"How many veterans are there in Lu Longsai now?" Li Hong asked.

"After the battle of the Tao, there were only more than seventy people left." Lao Guai said.

Li Hong let go of Lao Guai's hands and sat next to him, silent for a moment.

"You go back, at least you have to leave a few people for Lord Tian, ​​to see the tombs for Lu Longsai's brothers, and to sweep the tombs. Lord Zhao Wenzhao's tomb is in Changqing Lake in Yuyang County, Lord Songli, Lord Wuzhao's tomb is in Hengling in Shanggu County. Remember to have time to move them back. Go back, I no longer have the ability to protect you." Li Hong sighed and whispered, "I came back from the Xianbei Kingdom. I just want to find my family and my parents, but I didn't expect to bring you into endless killings. The brothers died too many, too many..."

"Sir..." Lao Guai wiped the tears in his eyes and said loudly, "What you promised us at the beginning was to depend on us for life and death. We have no home, no relatives, only Fengyun Iron Cavalry. Fengyun Iron Cavalry is our home and our relatives, but now you are going to drive us away, why? Why don't you keep your promise?"

Li Hong could no longer hold it back and tears rolled down.

"We are in Lulongsai, in Yuyang, Shanggu, and Zhuojun. The conditions are so difficult and dangerous. Didn't the adults take us with us? Why can't we do when we arrive in Xiliang? Why?" Lao Guai shouted, "What are we doing when we return to Lulongsai with a lame person? It's better to die with the adults as we live pitifully."

Lao Guai suddenly stood up and shouted at Li Hong: "We will never leave, we will die with you even if we die." After that, he turned around and rushed out of the tent, got on the horse and left.

Li Hong held his head and sat on the ground in a daze.

"Son people..." Tian Chong shouted softly.

Li Hong slowly raised his head and looked at him.

"When you were holding a sword in your hand and came back from the Xianbei, you were invincible and proud. At that time, everyone thought you were a man who stood up and down, so everyone trusted you, was willing to follow you to fight the world, and was willing to give your life to you. Where is your kindness now? Why did you regret your promise to Lao Guai back? What are you worried about?" Tian Chong asked in confusion.

"When all your brothers give you their lives, you won't speak like that." Li Hong said sadly, "I'm too tired, you know? I'm too tired. I often can't control my emotions now, my temper is getting bigger and bigger, and I feel like I can't hold on."

Tian Chong widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"You must be responsible for the lives of your brothers, for their present and future, for their lives, and for their country, for their poor people, for the situation in the world, for the enemies in front of you, for the ongoing battles, for the military pay they will pay to the soldiers soon, for who will harm us, old man, what will you do when you live in such a day every day? Can you hold on?"

Tian Chong shook his head.

"When I returned to Lu Longsai the autumn of the last year, nothing was there. Now? Now I am a general of the Central Army. In just over a year, so many changes have happened, just like a dream. Many things that I had never even thought about came one after another, making me overwhelmed. Do I have that great ability?" Li Hong smiled bitterly, "Just like Zuo Feng came to Handan this time, Zuo Feng said it well. How could I know that the officialdom is so sinister, the black one can be said to be white, and the dead one can be said to be alive."

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, feeling that they were not the ones they played with. Without this ability, they would be killed by others sooner or later.

"You have to hold on, otherwise what should we do?" Tian Chong patted his shoulder and comforted, "Take it slow and survive this time, maybe it's fine."

Then he remembered something and changed his face and said, "Zimin, you let Yu Xing enter Beijing with empty hands, right..."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Hong said indifferently: "Anyway, they will kill me, so they won't give me a single child. Who is afraid of whom?"

"Then why did you ask Yuxing to go to Beijing?" Tian Chong asked strangely, "Who will help you plead with the emperor if you don't bribe the powerful people in the capital?"

"Of course not." Li Hong said, "If you want to do this, just bribe Zuo Feng."

"He has killed you." Tian Chong glared at him fiercely and said, "I have lived for more than 60 years and have never seen you as bold as you, who dares to kill the imperial ministers and emperor envoys. You are still worried that others will kill you, but I think it is true that they have to worry about being hacked to death by you."

Li Hong smiled. This smile immediately diluted a lot of sadness in his heart.

"Yan Wuwei, a horse thief, just can't change his nature. When he heard that he was going to kill someone, his eyes would pop out." Tian Chong smiled, "Is there no flaws, right?"

"No. I asked him to take action in Wei County, and no one left. Zuo Feng's head was brought back to feed the dog. In fact, it doesn't matter who killed it. Think about it, I'm all a spy from Xianbei, and do you still care if they say I killed Zuo Feng?"

"That's different." Tian Chong said: "We can't leave a handle. What exactly do you want Yuxing to go to Jing? Looking for Lord Liu?"

"Yes, ask Lord Liu to hand me a memorial for me." Li Hong said, "We arrived in Xiliang, and I don't know when we will come back. In the Fanyang camp, I promised Zhang Baiqi to take them to the border to guard the border and farm. Now it's not possible. After we leave, their situation will become more and more difficult. If they are killed by the whole body or rebel again, it is caused by my breaking my promise. I deceived them, so I must find a way out for them."

"Do you find a way out for them?" Tian Chong asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"

"I suggest that the emperor forgive the world."

Li Hong said, "After the amnesty, they will be innocent. They will no longer stay in the prisoner camp and wait for their destiny, nor will they be sent to the border to guard the border and farm. Everyone can return to their hometown to farm. Moreover, at this time, the amnesty of the world will also be a rescue and relief for the Yellow Turban soldiers who are at the end of their journey. Everyone can throw down their weapons without any worries, walk down the Taihang Mountains, and return to their hometown. This kind of thing that is beneficial to the Han Dynasty but not harmful is acceptable. If there are more people farming, the prefectures and counties will settle down, and the country's taxes will increase, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans will lose the opportunity to recruit soldiers. This method is so good, will the emperor not agree?"

"The people are really geniuses!" Tian Chong praised: "I'm afraid your main purpose is to be the 50,000 Yellow Turban prisoners in Youzhou?"

Li Hong smiled but said without saying a word, and stood up and said, "I'm leaving, Junyi and Zhengqing are still waiting for me in the big tent?"

"Son people..." Tian Chong wanted to say something, but he didn't say it out.

Li Hong walked to the curtain and saw that Tian Chong had not spoken yet, then stopped and asked, "Old man, what's the matter?"

"What should I do if Xiaoyu?"

Li Hong felt ache and he was there. What should Xiaoyu do?
