Chapter 181 Night Visit
Xiao Tianjian was overjoyed after hearing this. It seems that when Yao Xueyin wrote Li Zicheng's book, it was not all fabricated. Li Xin was still real. However, when he wrote Li Zicheng, he must have rendered some fictional characters. At least in this era, there was no such thing as a red lady in Qi County. A character, it seems that some novels can't be trusted!
"Good! Don't delay. Invite this Li Xin to the camp as soon as possible. I want to see this person in person!" After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian immediately said excitedly, secretly laughing in his heart. Now Niu Jinxing and Li Xin have fallen into his hands. This time, Li Zicheng is not interesting!
Li Jinde doesn't know where Xiao Tianjian learned about Li Xin. Although Li Xin has many good deeds in Qi County, he is not very famous. Why does Xiao Tianjian attach so much importance to such a person?
"Now it's getting late. The general has been busy all day, and he has felt a little cold recently. Let's go to bed early! Why don't you invite Li Xin to the camp tomorrow!" Li Jinde persuaded.
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "No! Can't wait! That's all right! Take a rest! I'd better meet him in the city in person! Come on, carry the horse..."
Although it was dark at night, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but be excited. He took some guards such as Tietou and ran to the east gate of Qixian County.
At this time, the gate had long been closed early because Zuo Liangyu led his troops. Only during the day was let people go in and out. The soldiers guarding the city saw someone running to the city, and immediately aimed the crossbow and firearm at Xiao Tianjian and his party in the city, and shouted loudly, "The command!"
"Yellow River! Open the door quickly, the marshal is back in the city!" The iron-headed horse went under the gate and raised a torch to illuminate his face.
"The Yangtze River! So it's really General Zhao! Why did the general go back to the city so late? Is the marshal back too? The general in the city was a team general. Knowing the iron head, he immediately saw the iron head from the light of the torch and asked loudly.
"Nonsense! The general has something urgent to enter the city. Open the door quickly!" The iron head shouted loudly.
At this moment, Xiao Tianjian also came to the gate, looked up and raised his hand and said, "It's me, open the door!" Let's not do it again!"
There are rules for guarding the city at night. If you pass the application, you have to close the gate. If it is not a special situation at night, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate. It is even more strict in wartime. If Xiao Tianjian doesn't come back, the soldiers guarding the city will never open the door easily. What they are prepared is to be cheated by the enemy, while Xiao Tianjian is a special case. Xing Tian Who in the army doesn't know him! Although it was not in line with the rules, no one locked him out of the door to prevent him from entering the city.
Therefore, after seeing Xiao Tianjian clearly, the gatekeeper would not dare to neglect and quickly open the gate, and lined up to welcome Xiao Tianjian into the city.
"Recede and continue the patrol! I have to go out of the city in a moment. You should be strictlyware of the night attack of the officers and soldiers!" After Xiao Tianjian entered the city, he waved his hand to let the generals retreat, and then drove towards the place where Li Xin's residence was arranged.
Li Xin sat under the lamp and was reading in distraught. After reading for a while, he couldn't read it. He threw the book aside and stood up and walked back and forth in the room.
He couldn't figure out why Xing Tianjun wanted to find him. He knew that he was an unknown figure. Although he was still a little famous in Qi County or his hometown Qinyang, he was far from famous. He was not unfamiliar with Xing Tianjun. Now it is circulating everywhere in Henan. Regarding the story of Xing Tianjun, as a scholar, he will naturally pay attention to this news. He knows that Xing Tianjun started in Shaanxi, flourished in southern Jin, and grew in western Henan. At present, he is already a big trouble for the imperial court. There are indeed not many soldiers and horses in the world who can fight against it. It is said that Xiao Tianjian, the general of Xing Tianjun, is a He is a great figure, and Xing Tianjun is strict in governing the army and is quite popular with the people. This time, Xing Tianjun suddenly attacked Qi County, and the local people are all cheering and coming from all directions to help the battle. It can be seen that Xing Tianjun is indeed very popular.
And in the past few days, he hid in the city. He was a little surprised to hear that Xing Tianjun was looking for him. He didn't know what Xing Tianjun was looking for him, but in the past few days, he saw that Xing Tianjun was a disciplined soldier and horse. After entering the city, he only punished the corrupt officials in the city, confiscated the homes of the powerful and the rich, but opened a warehouse for the common people. For the ordinary people and even small merchants, there is nothing to do. It is the first time that Li Xin has seen such a disciplined army. Even if it is an orthodox court officer and army, in addition to harming the common people, there is no military discipline at all. Xing Tianjun's performance is also from one side. It shows that the person who controls this army must be a person who loves the people. From this point of view alone, Li Xin feels that he admires it very much and wants to see this person.
To be honest, he is now 30 years old. For the current court and the government, he can be said to be extremely disappointed. After years of disasters in Henan, the government and the court did not want to give relief at all, and it has increased all kinds of taxes and pay every year. It seems that he wants to squeeze out oil from the bones of the common people, and the court adds One point, when it comes to the bottom, the official will be multiplied several times and added to the common people. Not only part of the property obtained is taken by the court, but also the official's wild goose will be pulled out. In this way, for the common people, it can be said to be peeling like knocking bones and marrow. How can the people survive?
For this reason, he has analyzed the reasons for today's troubled times. It is no wonder that those people rebelled, because they really can't live anymore, so they act like this. The biggest reason for the current court is that the officials are too corrupt. In addition, the officials in the court are factional, and they don't think about governing the country at all. That's why the world is so chaotic.
During this period, he often heard about the news about western part of Henan. Many exiles near Qi County dragged their families to the west of Henan to defect to the Xingtian Army. It is said that although the people there are not rich, they live a stable life. The Xingtian Army has a good governance, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. For this reason, he also planned to do this year. As soon as he took it to the west of Chaoyu, he went to see for himself how the rumored Xing Tianjun ruled the place, but because his uncle's grain business was delayed. Unexpectedly, now Xing Tianjun had hit Qi County and captured the county, which made him want to see the legendary commander of Xing Tianjun.
He didn't expect that he would be known by General Xiao's name and sent people to investigate his whereabouts. At first, he was a little worried, but later he took the initiative to let people say his whereabouts. Soon, he was politely invited here by the people of Xing Tianjun. The delicious service made him even more strange.
In fact, Li Xin is not a very safe scholar. In addition to studying since he was a child, his ancestors also inherited martial arts. Since he was a child, he has followed his father and others to practice martial arts. At the beginning, Li Xin really wanted to learn a body of literature and martial arts one day, sell it to the emperor's family, and serve the court, but later he no longer wanted to This is the matter, because he really hates what the current government has done. Later, he simply abandoned his official career and followed his uncle to Qixian County to do business. During his time in Qixian County, he saw the corruption of the government, so he has long been extremely disgusted with the current court, although he did not get up. The degree of rebellion, but he did not feel any evil about a rebel like Xing Tianjun.
While thinking nonsense, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly outside the door: "Welcome, general! ......”
Then he heard a sound of footsteps coming from the outside, and it was obviously coming towards the room where he lived. After a while, he heard someone outside the door say in a slightly hoarse voice, "I wonder if Mr. Li can rest? Xiao Moute came to see Mr. Li. I hope you can open the door!"
Li Xin's chin almost fell to the ground in surprise. He immediately thought of who came. Now when the two armies were in a diplomatic war in the city, he never thought that General Xiao of the Xing Tianjun would come to see him for such a small man like him, so Li Xin hurriedly checked his body. The upper dress immediately opened the door and looked out of the door.
What caught Li Xin's eye was an extremely tall general, standing outside the door with a smile on his face. Several guards with neat clothes and solemn looks stood behind him. With just a glance, he confirmed that this person must be Xiao Tianjian, so Li Xin immediately stepped out and said with his fists: " How dare you! How can students afford to let Marshal Xiao visit at night? Please come in quickly!"
Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and let Tietou and other guards stay in the small courtyard. He also clenched his fist and said, "It's so disturbing to come late at night! I hope Mr. Li can forgive me!" After saying that, he reached out and grabbed one of Li Xin's arms and walked into the room with Li Xin.
