The next day, a general from northern Liaoning sent a military badge, plus a stack of land deeds...

General Wu's arrangement for him was to conceal his name and work in the army first, and then wait for General Yue to quell his rebellion before making other arrangements.

The waist badge represents the official rank of a fifth-rank military commander.

Logically speaking, this should be officially appointed by the court.

But this is in northern Liaoning. Obtaining this waist card means that he can obtain corresponding power and treatment.

It's just that there is no record in the court. Anyway, the soldiers in northern Liaoning have not been paid by the court since Emperor Mingzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Military generals in northern Liaoning are notoriously well-paid.

With this waist card, Li Changshou can receive fifty silver, forty taels of hair cotton, thirty taels of silk, and fifty shi of millet from the treasury every month.

And his fifth rank waist card is slightly different, it is issued by the General's Mansion.

The gold content is naturally extraordinary,

In short, this life is worry-free.

Even if you die on the battlefield, your descendants will be affected.

Another day passed, and when the visitor came again

After knocking on the door several times, there was no response. When I pushed the door open, I found that the room was empty.

The person has left, and there are waist tags and land deeds on the table.

Li Changshou confiscated their things to show that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with them.

He had already agreed when he sent Zhu Minghe off.

Li Changshou sent him back alive. If he really becomes the emperor in the future, he will rectify General Yue's name.

Zhu Minghe went to realize his ideal, sit in that high position, let the tillers have their fields, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous age.

If...if he could really do it.

As for Li Changshou himself, he did not joke with Fang Mubai that day, nor did he mean to anger him.

He really decided to open an escort agency.

The snow is at its peak, flying all over the sky.

All things are hidden, and it is the right time to protect yourself from the cold.

Li Changshou held his old friend and stepped on the snowy road, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The sky is covered with snow, why is Hu Wei traveling with a sword?

If you want to talk about things on your mind, go to the restaurant together.

A familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Wearing a fur suit, it was Fang Mubai.

"Really want to leave?"

"yes."

"A few of the old guys aren't here, otherwise they could come and see you off."

"Better not see you."

Fang Mubai sighed softly, "I thought we could fight together again."

The farewell of two grown men is not that sad.

Li Changshou just patted his shoulder and said.

"See you alive."

I hope I won’t be a cold corpse next time I see you.

........

In northern Liaoning, there is a small town fifty miles away from Ping'an Prefecture.

These years have been really uneventful. Horse bandits often appear in the town and often blackmail people.

There have been many thieves in northern Liaoning since ancient times.

The situation is extremely serious, and there are countless people all over the mountains and plains.

As the old saying goes, "When we gather together, we become bandits; when we disperse, we become people."

"Officials and bandits are connected, soldiers and bandits are one family"

This situation has only slightly decreased since the Wu family took control of northern Liaoning.

Northern Liaoning is plagued by banditry for many reasons.

The territory is vast, the terrain is complex, and there are many forests.

Most of the people who go to the mountains to become bandits rarely gather in groups of more than a hundred, and scattered bandits hide in the mountains.

This makes it extremely difficult to suppress bandits, the cost is still high, and the gain outweighs the loss.

There has been no peace in the town for the past two years.

There are often thieves in the town, blackmailing the people.

It was useless to report to the officer. By the time the officers and soldiers came, the horse bandits would have already run away.

As a result, horse bandits became more and more rampant, and most of the shops in the town could no longer operate, and there were fewer and fewer stores.

Business is not doing well, and there is only one wine shop in the town opened by a husband and wife.

There are not many customers on weekdays. Only passing merchants stay and stay in the store, barely making ends meet.

On this day, there was heavy snow in the sky and the wind was blowing.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, like catkins and goose feathers.

Floating and dancing, looking up to the sky,

A man and a horse came outside the store, and their figures were a little blurry in the wind and snow.

This person was wearing a blue double-layered shirt and black boots.

He was also carrying an object wrapped in black cloth on his back. He was around 20 years old.

Looking at his clothes, he looks like a wanderer.

It doesn't look like much, but it's a bit strange.

This goose-feather-like heavy snow barely touched my body at all.

Observe carefully that before the snowflakes fall on you, they are melted by the invisible airflow surrounding them.

The Diaoxing black horse under the crotch is majestic and majestic.

Walking to the front of the store, he turned over and dismounted in one go.

As soon as the store saw the customer, he quickly came forward to receive him.

There was not a single customer in the store at this time.

Li Changshou was the couple's first business today, so they quickly poured tea and water to serve him.

Li Changshou first took a sip of hot tea, and then ordered a bowl of plain noodles.

Rather, the horse's fodder needs to be fine.

It seems that horses are more valuable than people.

The store owner is also an honest person, and Li Changshou ordered plain noodles.

What came over was a bowl of meat noodles and a bowl of hot wine.

Li Changshou was a little strange and raised his head to look at the store.

The store owner smiled generously and said, "It's not easy to come all the way. On this snowy day, the wine and meat are free. Come back after you've eaten!"

"Thank you."

Li Changshou peeled a head of garlic and ate the garlic while eating noodles.

"What are you going to do, sir?"

The shopkeeper wiped the table and talked to him casually.

Li Changshou did not answer his question, but asked: "I heard that there is a group of horse bandits around the town?"

"Don't mention it. If this continues, the days will be gone."

The store owner complained bitterly.

“This town used to be much more lively than this, but look at how it has withered now.

Officers and soldiers went there several times, but couldn't even find a shadow.

Later I heard that another reward was posted, but nothing happened yet. "

Li Changshou stuffed the remaining half of garlic into his mouth and asked again.

"Is the government here reliable? Do you really have thirty taels of silver with snowflakes and patterns after catching a horse bandit?"

"This... I just do some small business. Regarding the situation of the lord, I don't know where to go.

how? Is the guest interested in those thirty taels of snowflake-patterned silver? "

Li Changshou smiled lightly, "Yes, who wouldn't be tempted by thirty taels?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you'd better get rid of this idea as soon as possible. There are twenty or thirty horse bandits in that group, and they are very fierce."

He didn't take it seriously, he just thought the other party was joking.

The officers and soldiers had nothing to do with the group of horse bandits.

At this time, I could only hear the noise of horses running in the distance.

Not long after, a group of more than 20 horse bandits came to the front of the store, and snow fell on the ground for a while.

When the store owner heard the voice, he secretly complained in his heart. He really shouldn't have talked about people behind their backs.

Whoever you say will arrive!

Knowing that it was those untouchable uncles who were freeloading again, I didn't dare to neglect them.

He had no choice but to run over to greet him, but the group of horse bandits were not polite and swarmed in.

After sitting down, he yelled for wine and meat, and the small wine shop was immediately crowded with horse bandits.

The shopkeeper and his wife were afraid of making each other unhappy, so they served them with wine and meat.

The horse bandits immediately started eating and drinking, pushing cups and changing cups.

From time to time, he looked at Li Changshou who was also sitting in the store.

Li Changshou remained calm and ate noodles as usual.

The shop owner was afraid of causing trouble, and also worried that Li Changshou would say the wrong thing.

He hurriedly came over and picked up Li Changshou's face with a smile on his face.

"Sir, let's eat inside, let's eat inside."
