AD 1042

31. Yangzhou Strategy II

June 13, before noon, Si time (half past 9 o'clock).

A caravan came dusty from the official road in the distance. There were about 20 large and small cars, procrastinating for half a miles. A small brocade flag was inserted on the first car and the word "Tang" was written on it. It seems that it should be a merchant from Zhenzhou.

The defenders at the top of the city had already found them. When they were still in the land of two arrows, an old soldier ran to the Yangzhou inspector Li Da's tent to report the matter.

"Your Excellency, a caravan was found outside the west gate, no more than 300 people. It's very suspicious. Please go to the city quickly!"

Li Da drank flower wine last night and drank until midnight. The girl played until her feet were soft. Hearing the military emergency, he suddenly got up from **. His body was full of qi and blood. Before he took three steps, he fell to the ground with a black plop in front of him.

It scared Lao San and quickly called someone. After saving Li Da for a long time, he finally woke up.

"Oh, who the fuck just mixed up with me? I fell to death. My buttocks seem to be in half."

"Your Excellency, are you feeling better? Your buttocks are already in half," someone said from the side.

"Yes, it's much better now." After that, he suddenly asked, "Yes, has anyone come in just now!"

The people in the tent were stunned at first, and then pointed with their hands, "Your Excellency, that's him!"

The unlucky third soldier, his legs were so weak that he knelt to the ground, "Your Excellency, the little one didn't mix you. The little one just came to report the important military situation. Please be aware of it!"

Li Da was so angry that he was so happy that he quickly called his men to help him up and scolded with a smile, "Look at your bear. I'm just joking with you. How can I be so scared? Let's go, Lao San, come and have a look at the city!"

"Hey..." The soldier wiped the sweat on his forehead and said that Patrol Li's wine was finally over, and he hadn't forgotten who I was.

After half a sound, Li Da, accompanied by his cronies, climbed to the head of the West City. He covered the pergola with his hand and couldn't help but be happy.

"You guys, are you blind? That's the convoy of the Tang family in Luzhou. It's here to deliver the goods. Damn it. Fortunately, I woke up, otherwise you would have ruined the big deal!"

"Your excellency, it should be a good thing!" The soldier named Lao San echoed.

"Oh!" Li Da had two big eyes and thought for a moment, "Well, it's really a good thing. Let's go down to the city to meet the Tang family's motorcade!"

"Hi!" Lao San shook his head and said to himself that Li Xunjian was so good. He had never read a book and listened to people's advice.

A stone's throw away from the west city of Yangzhou, the Tang family's motorcade slowly drove through a large pond where lotus flowers were in full bloom.

A carriage walking in the front suddenly lifted the curtains on one side, revealing a handsome face.

"Mom, this is Yangzhou. It's so beautiful!"

"Jin'er, look at how happy you are. You can see your father in a while!"

"My father?"

"Yes, have you forgotten that we are actually here to see your father this time"

"Oh!" The handsome face shrank back again.

I only heard the car say, "I don't want to see my father!"

"Look at your child. Why don't you want to see your father? Our family hasn't been together for a long time. Fortunately, your uncle agreed to take a ride to Yangzhou. Otherwise, you are still studying hard at home to prepare for the exam in Beijing next year!"

"Reading is really boring. My wish is..."

"Come on, my good son, your wish is like the moon in the water. Don't think about it. Listen to your mother's words. You are the treasure of our Xu family. The incense of the Xu family depends on you. Your father's disappointing can only be an official. In the future, the door of our Xu family will depend on your son!"

"Oh, mother, I've said, I don't want to take the exam."

"Hold up, if you say something like this again, I will sell Xiaolian and won't let her play with you."

"Hey hey, don't, mother, Xiaolian is your dowry. You will sell her so cruelly, let alone!"

"Ah, you child, how can you be so mean that you think of something unspeakable?"

"Mom, where is the child? I mean, Xiaolian has been with me for a long time..."

"Hit, I don't want to hear it"

"Okay, mother, it's okay if you don't want to hear it. You have to promise me a condition."

"I don't want to negotiate with my mother. When you are admitted to Jinshi, my mother will promise you any conditions."

"Then I'll say that Xiaolian and Xiaolian are in **..."

Before he said a word, there was a crisp slap in the car, and then someone cried, and then the carriage suddenly stopped. A handsome young man jumped out of the car and cried while running, chasing a gorgeous woman. If he didn't know the inside story, he thought it was the teenager's sister.

In fact, they are mother and son, from Xufu, Luzhou, hostess Tang Caier and baby son Xu Jin.

Yangzhou West Gate,

Li Da stood in the pergola under the city and looked at the arrival of the Tang family's motorcade with a smile. Suddenly, he found a white figure. When he was wondering, he saw that the figure was close. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be a young man with red lips and white teeth, the more cute he became. If he hadn't dressed as a scholar, he would have misunderstood it. It's a girl's house.

Looking back, the teenager was chasing a gorgeous woman. The stunning color was indescribable. They were approaching the west gate of Yangzhou one after the other.

"Your Excellency, this?" The third brother is also wondering, saying to himself, "What do you think, adult?"

"This fart, send two people to ask what's going on. Remember not to bump into others. Maybe it's someone from Tang Mansion, or you'll look good-looking," Li Da said deeply.

"Yes, I know the little one!"

After saying that, Lao San took two soldiers to greet him, just blocking Xu Jin halfway.

"Yo, this little brother, you are from Tang Mansion, aren't you?"

Xu Jin cried like tears...
