Nanming Engineer

Chapter 7 Acting
At dawn the next day, the door of Tian Xiong's room in the small temple was slammed loudly, and the wooden door, which was not very strong, was almost torn down.

"Who the hell doesn't want to live anymore?" Tian Xiong was furious. He stripped his upper body, wore a pair of calf-nose pants, and walked out of the abbot's room that he occupied, shirtless.

As soon as he stood up, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a new anger emerged.

Outside the door, Li Tingyu stood there calmly, his arms as thick as an ordinary person's thigh still maintaining the posture of knocking on the door, while Li Yan stood behind him, clapping his hands casually.

Around the two, several soldiers who were in charge of guarding the night were groaning in pain on the ground, unable to stand up after being beaten.

Tian Xiong glanced at Li Tingyu and said angrily, "Li Laosan, what do you mean by this? Could it be possible to rebel?"

Li Tingyu waved his hand: "Tian Guerrilla, don't get me wrong, I have something important to discuss with you, these miscellaneous soldiers are not open, trying to stop me, Li Yan is impatient, pushed and rubbed with them a few times, misunderstood That's all."

Tian Xiong looked at the soldiers on the ground, and the veins on his forehead jumped: push and rub?Damn it, you can’t even stand up anymore. I’m afraid your bones will be broken. Are you pushing me like this?
Just when he was about to get angry, he saw that Li Yan had already pulled out half of the knife from his waist and was staring at him eagerly, as if he was about to draw the knife if he had any disagreement. He couldn't help but feel a little timid. He knew that when it came to killing people, Li Tingyu was the most powerful person. He Li Yan is a figure who has come and gone in the blood sea of ​​​​the mountain of corpses. The dozen or so soldiers here are probably no match for these two people who are like iron towers. Besides, there are only three people standing in the abbot's small courtyard, and the others I don't know where Bing is, maybe he's still sleeping soundly in the main hall.

Once his courage was gone, he became less angry when he spoke. Tian Xiong took a step back unconsciously, almost touching the door threshold behind him, and asked with a frown: "Is it important? What's important?"

Li Tingyu cupped his hands and said: "Master Guerrilla, in three days, the army will be dispatched. I am afraid that the family members of this army will have to be escorted to another place. I thought of Liu Zongbing and asked for this errand."

When Tian Xiong heard this, he was stunned at first and could hardly believe his ears. Then he was overjoyed, grinned, and laughed.

"Hahaha, Li Tingyu, Li Laosan, a brave general of the three armies, actually wants to go to the supply camp! Good, good, you go, I agree, you go and ask Liu Zongbing for orders immediately." Tian Xiong wiped the corner of his eyes. Tears of laughter, said happily.

"Please also ask Master Guerrilla to write a recommendation order." Li Tingyu disagreed, and still cupped his hands.

Tian Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that things were different now. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Li Tingyu had handed over his sword and signed his seal. He was no longer a general, but an ordinary soldier in the army. According to the rules, he should be recommended by his superiors. Military leadership position.

"Okay, what's so difficult about this? I'll write one right away." Tian Xiong's anger has already flown to the sky, and he has long wanted to find excuses. Apart from these two idiots who are getting in the way, Yu Ming can't do it, and Dark can't do it. Let's start. Now he actually asked to leave, and to do the heavy transport that no one else wanted to do. It was really what he wanted.Because during this period, everyone knew that it was a good time to make a fortune. As long as they walked around the streets every day and caught people, they could force out gold and silver. Who wanted to waste time doing things like escorting baggage? That was boring.

Tian Xiong dug out a pen and paper in his room, and scribbled a recommendation order in accordance with the style of military Chinese documents. Before the ink dried, he handed it to Li Tingyu, waved his hand and said, "Go, go."

Li Tingyu read the crookedly written recommendation order, blew on the ink, put it in his arms, and cupped his hands again: "There is one more thing, please agree with Master Guerrilla."

Tian Xiong was in a good mood. As long as the plague god was gone, everything would be easy to say, so regardless of the embarrassment of his own clothes, he just stepped in and said, "Speak!"

"In the past six months, many soldiers and soldiers in our army have died in battle, and many of the family members of the dead are still in the army. Taking advantage of this escort, we should set up a dojo for the soldiers who died in battle, so that their souls can return to their hometowns and regain their lives. Enter the six realms of reincarnation." Li Tingyu said slowly: "So, I want to take the dozen or so monks in the temple with me, and do things on the way."

When Tian Xiong heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "No! If you take them away, who will carry the bodies and clean the city?"

Li Tingyu said: "Human, Mr. Guerrilla, if you walk around outside, you can catch hundreds of people and bring them back. Don't you worry about not having anyone to do the hard work?"

Tian Xiong's eyes rolled, his expression tensed, because thanks to the brutal massacre of the city by the Qing soldiers, the people in the city had almost been killed in the past few days. For ordinary people who are very deep, it may be a bit difficult to find some young men to work as coolies.

Seeing his displeasure, Li Tingyu hesitated, and said unhurriedly: "If Lord Guerrilla refuses, I can only look for it again to see if there are any monks in other temples. If I can't find it, I will I don’t even have the face to meet the family members of the dead soldiers, I don’t care if I don’t ask for this job.”

Tian Xiong was taken aback, and immediately turned his face and said: "No, Li Laosan, if you want a monk, I can give it to you too. How about this, I will give you five, and I will keep the rest."

"No, it would be too shabby if there are not twenty monks for a ritual ceremony. Just a dozen of them are not enough." Li Tingyu was determined.

Tian Xiong pushed a few more words, seeing that Li Tingyu was as firm as eating a weight, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Li Tingyu achieved his goal, and he didn't delay much, and he didn't want to say a word to Tian Xiong, so he bowed his hands again, turned around and left.

Tian Xiong narrowed his eyes and watched Li Tingyu's back disappear at the gate of the small courtyard. He spat out, "Bah!", stretched out his feet and kicked the moaning soldiers on the ground, and said angrily, "What the hell are you calling? Hurry up and bring me breakfast, hmph, useless trash!"

On the other side, Li Tingyu did not stay, left the abbot's small courtyard, and immediately arranged for Li Yan to go to the firewood room in the backyard to find Wang Huan, while he himself went straight out of the small temple gate and went straight to Liu Liangzuo's Xingyuan.

Liu Liangzuo's camp was five miles away from Yangzhou City, in the wasteland, surrounded by Qing army camps, wrapped in heavy curtains, with banners unfurled, surrounding the camp of tens of thousands of people like an iron bucket.

Li Tingyu sighed, Liu Liangzuo was in the Hongguang Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, but he was one of the four famous Jiangbei towns. A character who would tremble when he stomped on the ground, but he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and surrendered to the Qing soldiers without firing a shot. Now that he has ended up like this, the whole army has been disarmed and imprisoned in this small place, waiting to be punished. It's really embarrassing.

Li Tingyu used the badge of the Qing soldiers to pass through the camp and check accounts all the way. After being interrogated several times by the Qing soldiers at the checkpoint, he finally came to Liu Jun's camp. He used to be a general, and Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers were naturally very familiar with him, so they let him go directly. Went in.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Liu Liangzuo was sitting in silence on the Grand Master's chair, looking at the map on the desk and frowning in thought. A member of the army at the door sang and shouted: "Li Tingyu, see you!" which made him raise his head.

Li Tingyu strode into the account, knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands, saying: "Li Tingyu, please see the Commander-in-Chief!"

Liu Liangzuo waved his hand, and sat upright on the teacher's chair: "There's no need to be too polite, Ting Yu just get up and talk."

Li Tingyu bowed and said, "Yes!" Yiyan stood up and stood aside.

"What? But I figured it out, are you willing to fight for glory and wealth with me again?" Liu Liangzuo looked at Li Tingyu with a smile on his face and asked. He knew this general very well, better than those arrogant people under him. But there are too many. Since I got Li Tingyu, I must be the vanguard in every battle, and I must conquer and win every battle. I really can't bear to lose him like this.So when Li Tingyu expressed his intention to hang up his seal, he made many attempts to persuade him to stay.

But he knew better that Li Tingyu had a heart, and Qin Liangyu was the only respect in his heart. It was okay to ask him to come and help him, but it was absolutely impossible to surrender, but he was unwilling to give up like this, so he simply asked Li Tingyu to move the corpse for a few days , think about it.

However, Li Tingyu did not waver, and leaned forward and said: "Master General, everyone has his own ambitions. Tingyu is tired of fighting. For the rest of his life, he just wants to live in peace and stability for the rest of his life. Master General, Tingyu accepts your kindness." "

"Do you think that this is the end for me, Hua Maliu? After following me as a soldier, there will be no future?" Liu Liangzuo said with a smile: "Tingyu, you are worrying too much. Just yesterday, Prince Yu called me here. Daying, declare in person that you want me to be the vanguard, go south to attack Danyang and Jiangyin, and give me a horse and a sword. As long as we work together and show off our power, we will be able to make a fortune in the new dynasty. Come, come, I am checking the map, you can help Let me take a look at it together."

Speaking of this, Liu Liangzuo couldn't help himself, and couldn't help laughing out loud, his face beaming with joy.

Li Tingyu felt a chill in his heart. He thought that Liu Ma Liu was so damn shameless. He did not act like a good uncle of the Ming Dynasty, but he wanted to be a second minister without moral integrity and still be proud of it. He really didn't know that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty Have all the salary and rewards given to him been fed to dogs?

He suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said: "My lord, Ting Yu respectfully wishes your lord a victory and success, but he is entangled in old wounds, and he really doesn't want to fight any more, he is willing to be a pawn for your lord, to do the work of a dog and a horse. "

"Oh? Are you going to the supply camp?" Liu Liangzuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Tingyu and said displeased.

"Yes, I learned that Prince Yu asked you to send the belongings of the family members of the army to Xuzhou, so I came to ask for orders and am willing to take on this important task." Li Tingyu bowed again, took out Tian Xiong's recommendation order from his arms, and put it on the case A few on.

Liu Liangzuo swept his eyes slightly, dropped the recommendation letter, frowned and said, "Isn't it overkill for you to send off the family members of the luggage?"

Li Tingyu raised his head and his eyes were full of tears: "Your Excellency, I have assigned a thousand brothers to accompany you in the north and south. There are less than 500 people left. The fallen died in a foreign land without even a tomb. I will never see you again in the future. My dear fellows in my hometown, please take pity on my brothers and let them leave the battlefield temporarily. In the future, I will also allow you to bring a few living brothers back to your hometown."

As he spoke, Li Tingyu almost choked up, looking unspeakably bleak, Liu Liangzuo looked at him coldly, his eyes flickered, he remained silent, and the big tent suddenly fell silent.

Li Tingyu remained silent, and looked at Liu Liangzuo with tears in his eyes. The two looked at each other, one sad and the other indifferent, and just looked at each other for a cup of tea.

Finally, Liu Liangzuo let out a long sigh, picked up the token on the table, threw one to Li Tingyu, and sighed: "Well, since you have decided to leave, it is useless to force you to stay. I will go to Prince Wenyu's account and send him to Li Tingyu." You go on this trip."

Li Tingyu lowered his bow and said in a weeping voice, "Thank you, my lord, for your fulfillment!"

Liu Liangzuo waved his hand, looked down at the map again, then Li Tingyu bowed his hands and walked out of the tent slowly.

As soon as he got out of the big tent, Li Tingyu's waist straightened, his expression immediately changed into a look of success, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he almost couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This little monk Wang Huan's tricks are still good. It’s so fucking good, what’s it called? Bitter tricks! I almost cried out, damn it, it’s just that it’s really hard to do this, it takes so much thought to come up with such a bad move ?”

After thinking about it, he still suppressed the joy in his heart and went to the camp secretary in a serious manner. When the soldiers who sent the order arrived, he took the document with a big seal and left. As for the Qing soldiers, there were soldiers who sent the order to write the document. .
