Chapter 64: The Great General and the Demon in the Heart
The fire burned fully, and the red light shimmered in the tent. [Full text reading. There is a nice smell of oil, and if you smell it for the first time, you may think that someone is cooking a delicious meal.
This thing is an oil lamp. But among everyone, it's called a marching lamp. It was Li Sihong who invented this lamp. And he laid the twist of the candle, and washed it with sheep fat and wax, and stone powder. This marching lamp cannot be extinguished by the wind, even if it is poured with water, as long as the twist is still red, it can be blown up.
The fire burned, and Li Sihong gently put the letter on it. Fire licked the paper lightly. The letter, full of secrets, disappeared into the wind and became a pile of dust.
Li Sihong has long had some opinions about the emperor's approach in his heart, although he is nominally a general, he actually does not have much military power. If it is the call of a large army, it is useless without the emperor's other side of the talisman. What can really be called by Li Sihong now is the hundreds of personal soldiers who were detained in the palace by the emperor.
In Chu Xiao's letter just now, he counted all kinds of crimes of the emperor. There are some things that Li Sihong knows, and some things that even he doesn't know. After seeing these things, Li Sihong secretly felt that his life was big. If something is done in it, you are already in a different place at this time.
"You are unkind, I am unjust." Li Sihong said silently.
He was not so easily provoked by Chu Xiao, but this time he had to be more wary of the emperor.
The letter was burned, and Li Sihong gently scattered the ashes of the letter. Now, no one can catch the evidence of this letter. Even the person who delivered the letter could only say that there was a letter at most.
After a few laps in the camp tent, idle and bored, Li Sihong thought back and forth in his mind about what had just happened. Including the recent change in the emperor's attitude, and what the emperor said when he sent himself.
In the north, there is no turmoil at all.
Picked up a pen casually, found a rag, and Li Sihong began to draw on it.
If what Chu Xiao said is true, then the emperor will recall him, and it will be a disaster for himself. Before that, we have to think of a countermeasure. At least, he can keep the other half of the talisman in his hand.
Military power has always been the top priority of a country, even if it is the emperor, he can't stand that military power is not in his hands. Li Sihong also understands that the biggest threat to Li Long in the entire Tang Dynasty is the princes from all walks of life, and the second is himself. Therefore, over the years, the emperor has not dared to send himself out, for fear that he will be overpowered.
Now, all of Li Sihong's families are in the capital. No matter what, Li Sihong has to go back.
"Geng Yong! In! Li Sihong suddenly shouted.
A voice was heard outside, and a man walked in.
The man was large and heavily armoured. Not angry and self-imposing, imposing.
"General." The man bowed.
"If anyone stops you now, you will say that you have been ordered by the general to go back and get my sword. After that, I went to my courtyard and told my family to take care of themselves. Be sure to tell the housekeeper to let him clear his contacts and try to move out of the city. Now that the emperor is not here, there is a chance at this time. ”
Li Sihong said a lot, and after Geng Yong listened to it, his stomach was full of doubts.
"General, what's wrong with you?" Geng Yong asked.
Li Sihong looked at him, this is his best partner. The two were born and died, and Geng Yong never gave up on Li Sihong. Even if he doesn't believe in his family, he won't distrust Geng Yong.
So, Li Sihong told him what he had heard.
Geng Yong was very surprised when he heard this, he had heard of the struggle in this palace for a long time, and he didn't expect such a situation.
"So, you go back now. If the emperor comes back after dealing with the affairs of the south, it will be difficult. ”
"But... General... Can we believe the words of the people of the Shenwu Kingdom? Geng Yong returned.
Li Sihong shook his head and said, "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if the emperor really has other thoughts." I can protect myself, what about my family. ”
With a sigh, he couldn't sigh away Geng Yong's doubts, and continued to ask: "The general, if because of us, the emperor has some doubts in his heart, what should he do?" ”
Li Sihong, who asked these words, was speechless, he was a martial artist, and for these things, he could only think about these things.
"I didn't expect it, Geng Yong, Geng Yong. I've always thought you were a coarse person, but you were coarse and fine. Li Sihong said with a smile.
Geng Yong smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head. A strong man, at this time he looks a little like a child.
"But that can't be helped. At least if I did, I could find an excuse to prevaricate later. If you don't do this, the emperor will really do it, and my family's lives will not be guaranteed. ”
Li Sihong shook his head again, stepped forward and patted Geng Yong's shoulder, and said, "Geng Yong, my sister, is still young." ”
These words were said directly in Geng Yong's heart, Geng Yong's face turned red, and the whole person was a lot softer.
Li Sihong smiled, gently leaned into Geng Yong's ear, and said, "Geng Yong, I know you like my sister. But after all, I am a general, you must have some kindness to my family, so that you can marry Mingmei. ”
Geng Yong's eyes were red after hearing this, and the whole person stood straight. Without answering a word, he walked out.
He likes Li Sihong's sister for a long time, and Li Sihong knows this matter best. This is his most trusted general, give his sister to him, Li Sihong is also relieved. This time he deliberately said this, just to eliminate the distractions in Geng Yong's heart, so that he could go back and inform him quickly.
Although Li Sihong doesn't know if it's right for him to do this.
Geng Yong came out and took his horse. With heroism and his feelings about Li Siqiu, Pegasus came out.
Li Sihong also walked out of the camp, Geng Yong moved quickly, and Li Sihong was very satisfied.
"Near, why did your lieutenant leave suddenly?" Someone on the side stepped forward and asked.
"Ask again, kill!"
Li Sihong was very angry, he came to the past few days, and this gang of people did not have the slightest respect. Originally, when Chen Ziyuan was here, these people were polite to themselves. Now, even this politeness is gone.
Actually, it is also clear to explain. The soldiers who have come to this pass will either die in the war or die of old age on the frontier. They live, just to live. Therefore, there is no interest in this power and fame, and there is no fear of it.
This anger was still useful, and after that, the attitude of these people towards Li Sihong was much better.
Geng Yong is on the road, and the capital is far away from here.
And Li Siqiu, who was far away in the capital, didn't know the news that Geng Yong was about to return.
In the capital, Li Siliang's family is already haggard.
