Chapter 164 High-rank Gentry
Seeing Li Hu being surprised, Li Yuan laughed and said, "Yes, it's Cheng Ji's hometown, where my Longxi Li family starts. Now my daughter is on the way to Jinyang."
Li Hu took a deep breath when he heard Li Yuan say this, calmed down and said with a smile: "Maybe he was speechless, and he asked Sima Liu to convey the mistake of Gong Tang, and then he made a joke. It's all my fault, I..."
Li Yuan stopped his hand, interrupted Li Hu's words, and said solemnly: "Brother Li, I know what you mean, and Liu Sima did not convey it incorrectly."
Li Hu couldn't help but twitched a few times, and his body leaning against half of Hu Tang trembled slightly, and he said in a narrow voice: "So does Mr. Tang mean that it is not Sanniang who marrys me Xiaojiu, but hers?"
Li Yuan took a sip of drink, nodded, and said, "Marriage is the relationship between you and me, and we have become the love between Qin and Jin. As long as it is my daughter, Li Yuan, she is usually regarded as her own. What if it is Sanniang?"
Crack! The bowl in Li Hu's hand suddenly shook, and the soup was scattered on his body. Li Hu glanced at the embarrassment on his body, and said with a self-deprecating voice: "It's a joke for Mr. Tang. It's our honor to be able to climb to Mr. Tang's mansion. But this matter should be heard from the children. My Xiaojiu only belongs to Sanniang. As for Sanniang, he doesn't hate my Xiaojiu."
When Li Yuan heard Li Hu's words, he said unfairly: "Marriage has been the orders of parents and matchmakers since ancient times. My Li Yuan's daughter has always obeyed her father's orders and abide by etiquette and law. She would definitely not be able to make a private decision about losing her reputation for life. How can the children say that they mean? This is not ridiculous."
At the end of the conversation, Li Yuan's smile suddenly sank. A person like him who is domineering in his usual manner. Even if he sits seriously and does not have to get angry, he will still have a sense of pressure that is imposed on Li Hu.
Seeing that Li Hu didn't speak, Li Yuan said, "Brother Li, we are all old. Children can make trouble, but we can't. There are no poor families at the top and no nobles at the bottom. It's not that I want to express anything. If your Li family wants to go further, they need support from a family. This is the reality. I, Li Yuan, will not think that there are too many daughters. Let them go astray."
Listening to Li Yuan saying this, a wry smile appeared on Li Hu's face and said, "Mr. Tang, I understand, the reality is that we Xiaojiu are not worthy of it. Is the legitimate daughter right?"
When Li Yuan heard Li Hu say this, his expression turned cold. He said immediately: "Mr. Li, if you really have this intention, then just use it as my intention." Li Yuan put the bowl heavily, and the doorman outside the door said loudly: "Send the guests!"
Li Yuan lowered his head and poured the soup. Li Hu stood up and bowed and said, "I took the liberty today. But I think if the affairs of the two families fail, it is not only the loss of our Li family, but also the loss of the Tang Duke's mansion." Li Yuan glanced at him, but Li Hu was so strong that he thought to himself that the father and son had a really similar temper.
"Send the guest!" The doorman shouted a second time again.
The Rushui was rushing and there were several heavy rains in the past few days, so the Rushui River surged. The sky was covered with dark clouds, but the town on the Rushui River was the same every day. After decades of the rebellion between the six towns, Yuyi Town stood again on the Rushui River and looked at the northern desert. Whether it was the Xi tribe on the grassland or the garrison in Huaihuang Town, they were all full of expectations for this new city.
The city gate was clamoring loudly, and several giant trees used as suspension bridges were spliced and pulled up to the top of the city inch by inch.
On the busy construction site, Li Chongjiu and several city builders were inspecting their skills.
The city builder said to Li Chongjiuyan: "Mr. Marquis, if this suspension bridge is erected well, a winch must be placed on both sides of the gate tower to help with its strength. In this way, more than a dozen men can pull the suspension bridge, which can save time and effort."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, as the essence of the suspension bridge, I have ordered people to speed up the use from Feihu County, and then it will be made into iron chains. Not only here, I will be equipped with a suspension bridge winch for all the city gates."
Then Li Chongjiu pointed to the location of the city tower and said to several city-building craftsmen: "I have seen the terrain. The terrain on both sides of the northwest of the city is flat, which is more conducive to siege. I think in the future, the enemy will use the northwest sides as the main attack site. You will expand the city towers on both sides of the northwest."
Several city builders were puzzled and asked, "Mr. Marquis, why is it?"
Li Chongjiu said in a word: "I have my own use." Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu actually remembered the two crossbow chariots he seized from the thief. He was going to place the crossbow chariots directly on the city tower, with two city gates on one side of the northwest.
Just as Li Chongjiu was thinking about this, he thought in his heart that it would be almost the same for Li Hu and Su Su to discuss with Li Yuan. At that time, they were not sure what they discussed. And at this moment, a fast horse was already running to the city of Yuyi Town.
"Mr. Marquis, the chief escort leader is urgent!" Li Chongjiu saw that he was running down the city tower. The messenger was obviously running all the way, almost exhausted. When he saw Li Chongjiu, he said powerlessly: "Mr. Marquis, the chief escort leader is urgent. I set out from the Jinyang Escort Agency and rode three fast horses to the Yanmen Escort Agency. Then he changed to three fast horses, which were exhausted. It took two days and three nights to arrive. Finally, I was lucky enough to be unfair to my fate."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Thank you, please have a good rest."
Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes, knowing that the matter was not good, but after revealing the letter in his hand, he was furious and threw the letter to the ground.
Everyone present had never seen Li Chongjiu so angry, and they were all afraid at the moment. When the craftsmen and garrisons present were trembling all over when they saw him, thinking that they were doing something wrong, which attracted Li Chongjiu's anger. Someone immediately went to report the news and asked someone to take on the matter. Wang Mahan, Ying Hefu, Ertu and others arrived. Seeing Li Chongjiu like this, they didn't dare to speak at the moment and stood silently.
In the end, even Shi Deyun arrived. When she saw Li Chongjiu like this, she couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you? Don't do this, I'm so scared."
Li Chongjiu heard Shi Deyun's words and realized that when he saw the generals on the side and Shi Deyun looked at him with fear. Li Chongjiu took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "It's not everyone's business, there is no need to be like this."
After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Mahan said immediately: "Marty, who made you so angry? I will capture him and chop it into ten thousand pieces."
Ying Hefu said from the side: "Mr. Marquis, my wife is willing to obey your order at any time, just give you an order."
Etuo nodded, and everyone around him raised their iron hoes and shovels and shouted: "Yes, Marquis, let's talk, who is so unhappy?"
"We will listen to you, who will we fight!"
"The Turkic people and the Khitan people are still hanging. I want military merits."
Seeing everyone like this, Shi Deyun showed a hint of comfort on her face, while on the one hand, she held Li Chongjiu's hand tightly and said, "Xiaojiu, everyone is your subordinate. If you have something to do, why not tell me and let us take responsibility for you together?"
After hearing what Shi Deyun said, Li Chongjiu patted the back of her hand, raised her head and looked at Nanfang. He immediately held the hilt of the sword, and two words broke out from his mouth.
Jinyang!
