The king said: "How can I restrain my son's sword?"

Zhuangzi said: "The sword of my minister, one person at ten steps, leaves no trace for a thousand miles!"

Seeing Mrs. Shen's somewhat panicked Qianying hurriedly leaving, Li Yuanqing smiled, took a deep breath of his cigar, and strode out of the door.

Yang Lei had already packed up the carriage, and the group went straight to the residence of Xu Fo and Liu Rushi in Fushoufang.

At this time, because of Li Yuanqing's strong tactics, he abruptly changed the emperor's heart and took the initiative back into his own hands. This also caused an endless stream of princes and nobles from the entire capital, like carps crossing the river, trying their best to

I searched all the contacts and wanted to make friends with him, Li Yuanqing.

To a certain extent, Li Yuanqing really needed these connections, but after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Li Yuanqing chose a safer plan.

Although Li Yuanqing successfully 'bluffed' Emperor Chongzhen at this time, in essence, there was no difference between Li Yuanqing and Governor Yuan's platform performance at that time. It was still 'painting cakes to satisfy hunger'.

Even... Li Yuanqing was more ruthless and cruel than Governor Yuan at that time...

being targeted.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.

Instead of covering everything and being perfect, how can you reveal a favorite ‘flaw’ to make the emperor feel more at ease?

When Li Yuanqing and his party arrived at Fushoufang, Xu Fo and Liu Rushi had already packed up.

They didn't have any property at this time, and the courtyard actually belonged to Zhou Kui. They were just "birds occupying a dove's nest." They only had three women and four maids, whom they brought here from Nanjing.

Seeing Li Yuanqing rushing over so early in the morning, Xu Fo and Liu Rushi were also very happy. They exchanged a few words with each other and then got on the carriage directly.

It was not Liu Rushi's first time riding in a carriage, but it was his first time riding in a carriage under the escort of so many tall, majestic and fully armed soldiers.

He carefully opened the curtains of the carriage and secretly looked outside.

The soldiers were all tall and mighty, looking ahead, in an orderly manner, never glancing in the direction of the carriage for no reason.

Liu Rushi's heart was filled with excitement for a moment.

They were out for an outing, why was the atmosphere...

He hurriedly said to Xu Fo who was standing aside: "Sister, Li Yuanqing, why is Li Yuanqing so serious? He, he shouldn't have sold us, right?"

"hehe."

Xu Fo couldn't help but smile, "Maybe. But you, a little girl, don't have a few ounces of meat on your body, so you don't seem to be very valuable."

"ah?"

Liu Rushi's pretty face turned red and she came to her senses a little. She couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Sister, you are bullying me."

Xu Fo couldn't help but smile. The flower branches trembled wildly. The plumpness on his chest was like rolling waves, so white that people dared not look directly at it.

Seeing that Liu Rushi had pouted her lips and was about to cry, Xu Fo quickly suppressed his smile and whispered: "Yes, have you noticed that the soldiers like Li Yuanqing are not the same as those we have met?"

Officers and soldiers, are there some differences?"

Liu Rushi had actually come to his senses a long time ago and no longer acted like a daughter to Xu Fo. He nodded and said: "Sister, it is indeed like this. The officers and soldiers we have seen before seem...not as tall as them.

They are not as...so scary."

"horrible?"

Xu Fo was stunned.

After a moment, he couldn't help but smile and nod, "Don't say that. The word you used is really accurate. Not surprisingly, Li Yuanqing and other soldiers should all be elites in the military. I'm afraid they are all people who have seen blood. However,

...Haha. Isn't this great? With them protecting us, what should we be afraid of?"

"Sister..."

Liu Rushi couldn't help but feel speechless, 'My sister seems to be suffering from some nymphomaniac disease. But, why does she feel that Li Yuanqing is so... so dangerous?'

Fushoufang and Maofu are about a quarter of an hour apart, and the round trip takes just over half an hour.

The group returned to Mao's Mansion. The Zhang family and the Shen family had all packed up. Li Yuanqing's female relatives at the Sanfu Inn had also arrived. They gathered together to form a huge team of more than a dozen carriages and turned north.

, prepare to leave the city through Andingmen.

At this time, more than a month had passed since the main force of the Jin Army besieged the city, but the entire subsequent impact in the capital city had not completely dissipated.

In the center of the city, the feeling is not too deep, "the rich houses smell of wine and meat, and the roads are frozen to death", but when you get to the slums in the corners of the city, the difference becomes apparent.

Even though it was past nine o'clock or around ten o'clock, when the sun was shining, there were only a few people on the street, and there were only a few vendors doing business.

If we want to restore the previous prosperity, we may not be able to benefit one place at a time.

At this time, the control at the city gate was still very strict, but Li Yuanqing did not hide his identity. It was Li Yuanqing's motorcade coming. Who dared to stop these Beijing camp gatekeepers?

Everyone nodded and bowed, wishing they could kneel on the ground and respectfully watch the huge motorcade leave.

This made Liu Rushi's young heart deeply moved.

In the past, she only felt that talented and famous people were elegant and liked fairy tales. She was quite dismissive of these mud-legged soldiers.

But at this time, when she was truly in this cloud and truly realized the benefits of power, there was an unspeakable strangeness in her heart.

Maybe, days like this are not so bad after all...

The destination of Li Yuanqing's trip was to Changping, while Chen Zhong was heading to Shunyi.

The biggest goal of both parties during this trip is to catch a tiger, preferably a cub, as a gift to Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, Li Yuanqing would be responsible for the specific cost of raising the tiger.

However, the hard work is done by the soldiers. Li Yuanqing's task is to relax, enjoy life, and coordinate internal relations.

In the evening, the group had traveled more than forty miles and had just arrived in Changping. They came to a quiet valley and prepared to camp out.

But what made Liu Rushi a little speechless was that the tents here had already been tidied up, dozens of piles of dry firewood had been piled up, and the entrance and exit of the valley were guarded by more than a hundred troops.

this……

Although Liu Rushi came from a humble background and grew up in muddy water, because of her unique innate advantages, she actually did not suffer much.

Not only can she hold out her hands when wearing clothes, but she can also open her mouth when eating. She is much better than many girls from ordinary small families.

But she never thought that just going out for an outing could lead to such a grand event...

But this feeling doesn’t seem bad...

The affairs of the women's camp here are coordinated by Kubo Kyoko, while Li Yuanqing is communicating with Li Sansheng at this time.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had a regular army of 1,600 to 700 people from the Changsheng Battalion around the capital. In addition to the 3 to 400 personal soldiers around Li Yuanqing, the rest were led by Li Sansheng to handle some trivial matters and chores.

"Commander, everything has been arranged. It's a pity that we didn't catch wild boars around today, but there were quite a few hares and pheasants. I will take my men into the mountains to hunt tonight."

Li Yuanqing threw a cigar to Li Sansheng, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous. It's best if you can catch the tiger. Don't worry if you can't. Let the boys practice as much as possible in the mountains at night.

Shooting elements. I’ll give you two days. Come back and assemble the night after tomorrow.”

Li Sansheng hurriedly took out his cigar, helped Li Yuanqing light his cigar, and then lit his own. He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Commander, don't worry. During the next special operations mission drill, you will never be embarrassed by your humble position."

"Haha. You kid, stop talking nonsense to me. Go ahead. Remember, everything is safe."

"yes."

Seeing Li Sansheng leaving with full of fighting spirit, Li Yuanqing also showed a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth.

These are his sons.

In fact, although tigers are rare treasures, in the capital, where there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons, what can you buy with money that you can't buy?

As early as late yesterday, Li Yuanqing had already bought two tiger cubs from a wealthy Mongolian businessman in the capital at a high price.

The reason why Li Yuanqing was so grand at this time was mostly due to the external situation, but internally, it was mainly about military training.

At this time, there were many female relatives in the camp, and there were seventy or eighty of them.

The camp was set up on both sides of a creek in the valley, and dozens of blazing bonfires were already burning, as if it were daytime.

The fire soldiers set up several large pots and were busy preparing today's dinner.

Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Shen, including Xu Fo and Liu Rushi, all brought cooks and cooks over, but it was too late today, so they could only eat from a big pot.

However, they were also very curious and looking forward to the world-famous big pot meal at Changsheng Camp. Those who were more courageous secretly gathered around the big pot to watch.

When Mao Chengdou saw that Li Yuanqing had finished his work, he ran over excitedly, "Brother, when are we going to go hunting in the mountains? I can't wait any longer."

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly chased after him, "Li Shuai, you, please don't condone Chengdou."

With that said, he said to Mao Chengdou seriously: "Chengdou, can you shoot a bow? How do you shoot a hunter?"

"I, although I can't shoot a bow, I can shoot a cannon!"

The veins on Mao Chengdou's neck swelled. He stubbornly raised his head and looked away from Zhang. He respectfully said to Li Yuanqing: "Brother, my father gave me a small blunderbuss. I often practice shooting it at home. If eldest brother doesn't believe it, try it."

Then you will know.”

"hehe."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.

Although Ms. Zhang was full of love for Mao Chengdou and regarded her as her own, it was obvious that her education method was wrong and too rigid.
