In Weiyuan County, Ganzhou, Ganzhou Governor Lei Sitong led his troops to besiege Yejiapu. The entire Ganzhou was shaken by high winds and waves, and in Pingxi City where Sun Bingchen was in charge, the wind and waves in Weiyuan County only became It became a conversation topic among the people in the restaurant and tea shop.
In just a few days, the news that the Ye family of Ganzhou colluded with the Saudi-Turkish Alliance and committed treason and deceit spread all over the world. The once wealthy Ye family of Ganzhou became a despised object overnight.
To the people of the Han Empire, being a traitor was the most despised and hated thing. Once the Ye family's crimes of colluding with the Saudi-Turkish Alliance were exposed, and several key figures of the Ye family were arrested, the Ye family's reputation would also be ruined. It completely stunk, and its so-called influence has melted away like snow.
On January 9, the 13th year of Yuanping, news came from Weiyuan County that Lei Sitong, the governor of Ganzhou, destroyed Yejiapu. The entire Ye family had 267 people. In addition to more than 100 people who died in the battle because of their stubbornness in resisting the army, The rest of the people were all captured, and most of the Ye family's armed forces, composed of the Ye family's servants and guards, were also wiped out. At this point, the Ye family's case was finalized and coming to an end.
And just two days after Lei Sitong, the governor of Ganzhou, destroyed Yejiapu, in the square outside the west gate of Pingxi City, amid the screams and curses of countless people in Pingxi City, dozens of men from the Wang family in Huanglong County The blood splattered after being beheaded was sprinkled on a patch of snow, without raising any dust. The entire Wang family in Huanglong County disappeared into thin air.
When the heads of the Wang family fell to the ground, Yan Liqiang was hosting a banquet for Shi Dafeng, Shen Teng, and Shi Changfeng at the best restaurant in Meiyuan, Pingxi City.
…
"Here, this glass of wine will make you prosperous and prosperous in the Imperial Capital."
"Yes, yes, yes, you will be awesome in Li Qiang in the future, and Shen Teng and I will also take advantage of it. I said Li Qiang, you are my brother, and I have face. Maybe one day I will ask you to protect me, hahaha... "
Shi Dafeng was still carefree, but Shen Teng seemed to have completely adjusted his mentality. When he met Yan Liqiang this time, he regained his previous open-mindedness and chicness.
The wine this time is Qianxingjiu. After everything is settled in Pingxi City, Sun Bingchen has decided to leave Pingxi City tomorrow, go to Ganzhou City first, and then return to the Imperial Capital from Ganzhou City to serve as Sun Bingchen's attendant. Yan Liqiang will naturally leave Pingxi City and return to the Imperial Capital with Sun Bingchen. Because of this, Yan Liqiang gathers with Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng again today as a farewell.
"I said that I would rise to the top, but that was really not my intention!" Yan Liqiang held the wine and looked at Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng with sincere eyes, "When I first came to Mr. Sun, to be honest, I only thought about this. A rare opportunity. Since you have this opportunity, you might as well take this opportunity to see the different scenery in this world and have some adventures. When you get old in the future, you will also have memories to drink with or brag about in front of your children and grandchildren. , At that time, I really didn’t expect Master Sun to come to Pingxi City to do big things!”
Listening to Yan Liqiang's sincere words, the two people holding the wine did not speak, but looked at Yan Liqiang quietly.
"A few days ago, after Mr. Sun captured Ye Tiancheng, although I did not contribute much, every time I came out of the county governor's house, the people on the street saw the clothes on my body and knew that I was under Mr. Sun's control. People who work around me will look at me with admiration and admiration. I go to the street to buy a steamed bun, and the steamed bun seller doesn’t want my money, saying that I have done good things for the people of Pingxi City. Her Eating steamed buns for a lifetime is a waste. I have never had this feeling before. From that time on, I have been thinking that in the end, a person's life is just one breath, one face, and one person's whole life. In addition to being able to walk around, see, and venture into things, if I am really capable and able in the future and can do something for the folks here, my life will not be wasted, and that aunt's life will not be wasted. Give me a few steamed buns to eat. We are born as human beings. When we come to this world, we will inevitably be tainted with the word fame and fortune. But fame and fortune are big and small, light and heavy, long and short, and some are like fireflies. Some of the lights are as bright as the sun, some are as light as goose feathers, and some are as heavy as Mount Tai. As a man, if you seek fame, you should seek fame in the world. If you plan for profit, you should plan for the profit of the world. I am here today to use this. I would like to share my words with Brother Shi and Brother Shen. I hope that when we meet again in the future, we will all be worthy of this person and our words."
After Yan Liqiang finished speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass, then smashed the glass to the ground.
Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng were both horrified and moved.
"It's a good sentence that when seeking fame, one should seek fame in the world, and when planning for profit, one should plan for the benefit of the world. There are thousands of volumes of history, but this sentence is not as good as this one!" Shen Teng sighed.
"Come on..." Shi Dafeng's cheeks turned red and his eyes gleamed.
Seeing Yan Liqiang finish the wine in his hand, the two of them raised their heads at the same time, drank all the wine in their hands, and then smashed the wine glass in their hands to the ground. The three people looked at each other, and then they all laughed.
"Knowing that you are leaving tomorrow, Li Qiang, Shen Teng and I bought something for you together as a gift to you..."
"What is it?"
"The things are downstairs, we can go take a look now..."
"good!"
The three of them quickly came downstairs and turned to the stables of the restaurant. Yan Liqiang saw a rhinoceros horse with a body as black as satin, standing tall in the stables like a flock of chickens.
Compared with the ordinary rhinoceros horse, the rhinoceros horse is half a head taller. Its eyes are shining like glass, piercing and bright. The most rare thing is that the four hoofs of the rhinoceros horse are like the tops of snow mountains. Similarly, there is a ring of white hair, which makes it look very handsome from a distance.
From the perspective of Yan Liqiang, who is barely an expert in taking care of horses, this rhinoceros horse looks like a standard black-clouded snow horse. Such rhinoceros horses are very high-end rhinoceros horses, with excellent speed and endurance. Rhinoceros horses are far superior to ordinary horses. They are rare to see. The price of one is more than ten ordinary rhinoceros horses.
Shi Dafeng chuckled and scratched his head, "Shen Teng and I don't have much money on hand. We are too embarrassed to ask for this kind of thing from our family, otherwise it would be boring. Shen Teng and I have saved a small private treasury over the years. , it all depends on this rhinoceros horse. In order to raise enough money, Shen Teng sold all the jade pendants his grandma gave him... "
"Don't just blame me, didn't you also pawn a lot of your own things..."
"Those are all external possessions, so nothing!" Shi Dafeng waved his hand generously, "We two hope that you, Li Qiang, can ride it and have a safe journey to the Imperial Capital. If you encounter any danger on the road, you can escape faster than others. Some… "
Yan Liqiang was moved and said nothing, but gave Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng two heavy blows on their shoulders.
…
When he returned to the Sheriff's Mansion, Yan Liqiang was riding on the dark cloud covered snow horse.
Facing the upcoming journey and the unknown future, Yan Liqiang was not entirely excited.
Being together with Sun Bingchen is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the Ye family and the people behind the Ye family. As an insignificant person, in this situation, Yan Liqiang has no choice but to make a choice or quit. At this time, he can only grit his teeth and continue walking. After going down, the only thing that gave Yan Liqiang some comfort was that the Ye family and the people behind the Ye family were indeed mere offenders and rubbish in his opinion. Standing on the opposite side of these offenders and rubbish, he had no idea. I don’t feel any guilt at all…
