Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Could it be that you have changed your sex after arriving in Youzhou City?

This is so obviously just to join in the fun, and then to stimulate myself!

You people, your conscience is greatly broken!

At this time, Feng Li told him that in a while, General Luo Liang would come and take everyone to dinner.

Especially Li Qiu, after the meal, General Luo Liang would take him to parade through the streets under the order of the old county king.

Let everyone in Youzhou City know how their Luo family treats this future son-in-law kindly.

The essence of what the old county king did was, of course, to do things according to the order, so as not to waste people's tongue.

Of course, only the old county king who has read the imperial decree knows the deep intention, and no one else can guess it.

……

On the streets of Youzhou City, when they heard that the future son-in-law of Youzhou City was coming, the people in the city flocked to him.

They all want to witness the true face of this future son-in-law.

Fortunately, Li Qiu is also thick-skinned, and he was watched more often when he was in Chang'an City. Facing the people at this time, he didn't feel any anxiety, and treated everyone who greeted him with patience and courtesy. treat.

"Hello Mr. Li!"

"Master Li Qiu, hello!"

"Our future uncle is really handsome."

"That's right, that's right, she really matches well with our young lady, and the children born in the future will definitely be very good..."

Li Qiu accepted any other compliments and comments.

But this is the only thing that implies the future of him and their young lady. Upon hearing this, Li Qiu's stomach couldn't help but feel a little cramp.

Commonly known as: I have a stomachache...

"Brother Li Qiu, will you go to the battlefield in the future?"

Facing the question of a thirteen or fourteen year old boy who was obviously immature, Li Qiu frowned slightly.

Looking at him with a smile, "Maybe."

"Ah, that would be great."

"Brother Li Qiu, I will go to the battlefield in a few days."

"I am the only man left in the family. My father and two older brothers have died in battle."

"If you go to the battlefield, don't you know that you can fight side by side with brother Li Qiu?"

Listening to his words, seeing his fearful but firm eyes, Li Qiu couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

This Youzhou city is no better than Chang'an.

Population, the number of households is much rarer.

Now that even such a young child is going to the battlefield, the situation on the border here is evident.

After a pause, Li Qiu patted him on the shoulder, "You are a good guy, a real fighter."

"Your deceased father, brothers, and the entire Tang Dynasty will be proud of you!"

Hearing Li Qiu's encouragement and sincere praise, the young man nodded vigorously, then turned and left.

Li Qiu was left with a youthful and thin back.

Chapter 60

Just when Li Qiu and the entire Youzhou City were still silent and unaware, they were on the Mongolian grassland not far from the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.

Glenn's tribe is quietly gathering quickly.

"Report to Chief Glenn that the prince's whereabouts have been found."

"He He……"

Seeing his subordinates hesitating, the grey-haired, thin and strong Glenn, who was frowning like a goshawk, grabbed him by the neck.

"Tell me! What happened to Kang Sumi?!"

"Leader, the prince and his party were wiped out."

"He died at the Luo family in Youzhou, under the elite cavalry led by Luo Tong."

"According to the spies, the prince was defeated by another elite cavalry from Chang'an."

After hearing the bad news, old Glenn's eyes almost spit fire.

"Youzhou! Luo Family! Luo Tong!"

"You killed my last son, Glenn!"

"I, Glenn, will do everything I can to kill you all!"

"Send me an order, gather all the horses, and raid Youzhou!"

……

In the Prince's Mansion of Beiping County, the old prince tried his best to persuade "Luo Tong" who was dressed in a refreshing robe and dressed as a boy.

"Kind, why don't you listen to advice?"

"That Li Qiu looks so clean and handsome."

"If you don't look for someone like this, what kind of person do you want to find as your husband?"

"Do you still want to find a man who licks blood on the tip of a knife all day long?"

Luo Kexin, who was drinking with the jar in his arms, replied wearily.

"I don't want either."

"At the very least, I will not marry a merchant who has no power to restrain the chicken."

"And grandpa, didn't you look down on these businessmen the most before?"

"What's the matter now, that you force people to marry that kind of person?"

The old county king glanced at his precious granddaughter angrily, and sighed deeply.

He can't always say that it is the will of the Holy One, you have to listen to it, and you have to listen to it if you don't?

"It's sweet, actually, grandpa has thought it through in the past two years."

"I can't let you continue to kill the enemy like this."

"Whether the Great Tang survives or perishes, and whether the Luo family prospers or declines, in essence, a girl like you has no responsibility."

"If, one day, you really have a good or bad situation on the battlefield, I'm afraid that even if you get there, Grandpa, you won't be able to rest in peace!"

"It's better to marry you to Chang'an this time."

"It is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the safest place in the world."

"What about Li Qiu, he's just a merchant, so he doesn't need to go to the battlefield."

"At that time, you young couple will enjoy all the property of the Luo family, live a prosperous life, live and work in peace and contentment, and have children. What a wonderful life."

Upon hearing this, Luo Kexin frowned like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Have children?"

"Me with him?!"

"Grandpa, what are you kidding?! You look so weak!"

"At that time, I am really afraid that I will kill him with a sword!"

"Anyway, whoever wants to marry will marry, and I won't marry."

"At worst, you can just marry Huniu to him as me. I think Huniu is quite fond of that frail scholar."

"As for me, like this, I will guard Youzhou as Luo Tong, and then I will accompany you, Grandpa, every day."

The old county king, Luo Sen, was also a brave general who was good at fighting.

His temper was even more irritable all his life, and he acted decisively and harshly.

But facing this precious granddaughter who weighs as much as her own life, she really has no temper at all.

Facing Luo Kexin's coquettish behavior, the old county king laughed amusedly and shook his head, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

"If you don't want to, let's not get married first."

"Then wait a few days and talk about it!"

"What? Only a few days away?"

"I've been begging for a long time, how many days did you give him, Grandpa?!"

This time, it was Luo Kexin's turn to be dumbfounded and unhappy...

That night, just as Feng Li and the others were joking about Li Qiu's marriage again, they suddenly heard a violent commotion outside.

Someone opened the window and looked outside, only to see torches reaching the sky, and soldiers running constantly.

It seems that there should be some emergency situation.

Seeing this, Feng Li and the other soldiers changed into different individuals in an instant, put on their armor as quickly as possible, and rushed out together.

After about an hour, they returned one after another.

Li Qiu asked, and they replied that a group of Hu cavalry scouts suddenly came from outside the city.

Then they shot randomly at the city wall, and after encountering the counterattack of Tang Jun, they retreated.

However, according to the Youzhou soldiers guarding the city, this time Hu Qi was a little weird.

Unlike the previous wandering and harassment, the Hu Qi who came this time was extraordinarily arrogant.

Also let everyone in the city wait to die, your Great Tang is destroyed and so on.

Regarding these, Feng Li and others naturally listened to them as a joke.

But Li Qiu couldn't help frowning.

Nowadays, all kinds of signs indicate that it is not far from the massive attack of the Turks, the imminent danger of the Tang Dynasty, and the time when Li Shimin emptied the treasury and signed the shameful Weishui alliance.

And is the beacon fire in Youzhou City the opening and beginning of this series of wars?

The next day, before Li Qiu, Feng Li and the others finished their breakfast, there was an urgent military situation.

It is said that a large number of Turkic soldiers began to appear outside the city, and the number was as large as tens of thousands.

Hearing this, Li Qiu immediately followed Feng Li and the others to the top of the city to have a look.

I saw that in the distance to the north of Youzhou City, many Turkic soldiers were already camping.

Moreover, the most important point is that it seems that Turkic soldiers are still gathering in a steady stream.

At this moment, the old county king Luo Sen, the young general Luo Tong, the deputy Luo Liang, and many generals of Youzhou were all wearing helmets and armor, standing on the top of the city.

Just by looking at their expressions, one can tell that this time the Turkic army is attacking, which is different from the past.

Even they were instinctive, smelling danger, and became more solemn.

At the same time, Li Qiu took a closer look at the surrounding city walls of Youzhou, and it was even worse than he expected.

The loess is cultivated, and the dying years are not much better than the ruined walls.

"My lord, there are tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers outside the city right now."

"And it seems that they are still gathering."

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in our city now?"

The old county king didn't make a sound, Luo Liang hurriedly told Feng Li that there were more than [-] soldiers and horses in the city.

Counting the people in the city, it should be enough to defend the city.

Feng Li nodded, and said very seriously and sincerely: "I have 500 elite members of the Shenwu Army. Although there are not many, I hope to live and die with Youzhou, and they are ready to be dispatched at any time!"

What he said was inspiring.

Even the old county king Luo Sen, many generals of Youzhou bowed their hands at him and clasped their fists as a signal.
