Chapter 35
In Dayun Mountain, a place bordering the Western Regions, a group of black-clothed people drove dozens of carriages, hurrying to the road before dawn. As can be seen from the speed of the carriage, the items dragged on the carriage are very heavy, and the carriage is very laborious, so the speed of travel is very slow.
"Master, it's time to get there." One is dressed in black, but he is different from the other people in black in terms of cuffs.
"Hantang, I've worked hard for you this time." Li Hanyong sat in the carriage, his eyes closed, but everything outside the carriage seemed to be under his control.
Before the man known as Han Tang could thank him, he felt a chill on his neck, and his wide eyes saw that his body was separated, and his head fell heavily on the ground, raising a little ash, and his body on horseback fell down after a long while.
Li Hanyong took a sip of peach blossom brew in the carriage, cleared his throat and said outside: "Dispose of it for me." ”
Huang Hantang's body was thrown off the cliff, and it was torn to pieces by wolves in a moment, and there was no such person as Huang Hantang again.
The horse team followed the established route and was not affected at all, until noon it reached the westernmost point of Dayun Mountain. There were already people waiting in a naturally formed clearing, and the horse team unloaded the wagons in an orderly manner, and those who drove the wagons were also arranged to rest in the cave.
"Master" A man in purple stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and he could see his heartfelt devotion to Li Hanyong.
"Miki, how are things going?"
"One qiē proceeds step by step according to the plan" The person known as Miki did not say much, and there was one sentence to say, which is exactly why he is still alive until now.
Sanmu's name is Chen Sanmu, a homeless man who Li Hanyong picked up outside one year, because he saved Li Hanyong's life by mistake, Li Hanyong saw that he was good, so he brought it back. Originally, he just wanted him to be a homekeeper, but he never thought that an assassin would break in, thinking that the assassin was dead, but Chen Sanmu found out that the assassin had just used the turtle breath gong to temporarily make himself unconscious like a dead man, but he was not dead.
After this battle, Li Hanyong intended to cultivate Chen Sanmu, Chen Sanmu was also loyal, and the things he explained several times were done very beautifully, and Li Hanyong entrusted Chen Sanmu with a heavy responsibility after several temptations.
"Very good" Li Hanyong's deep eyes looked at Chen Sanmu, Chen Sanmu did not evade, facing Li Hanyong's eyes, Li Hanyong looked at it for a while, and then laughed, and the people around him who laughed felt a little creepy.
"Miki, Miki, come, drink two drinks with me."
When the wine enters the throat, there is no burning of the throat, only a faint smell of wine. Chen Sanmu, who was used to drinking spirits, obviously didn't have much interest in the wine that this kind of woman drank, and it was difficult to say anything because of Li Hanyong's face, but Chen Sanmu soon found out that this wine was powerful.
"This wine is the same as Miki, it looks inconspicuous, but it's actually very powerful." Li Hanyong poured the last sip of wine, stood up, didn't look at Chen Sanmu, who didn't even have the strength to stand up, and walked towards the depths of the cave.
Chen Sanmu squinted at Li Hanyong's distant back, and a subtle smile rose at the corner of his mouth, although he was young, he was an old fox.
The cave is a natural formation, in an inconspicuous col, and after years of manual excavation, the inside has become a little unbelievably large. Almost half of the small Yunshan has been hollowed out, and the layout inside is equivalent to a small town, with restaurants, pharmacies, and cloth villages. What should be out there, there are plenty of them here. It's just that the town outside is full of life, but the town here is lifeless.
Li Hanyong obviously didn't care about the lifelessness here, and waved his big hand, "Bring everything in." ”
The workers removed heavy boxes from the wagon, which were obviously too heavy for two people to carry a box. However, a few of the leaders still waved the whips in their hands to drive the carriage, shouting "hurry, hurry" as they waved.
As the box fell to the ground, one by one the ingots shining with golden light rolled out of the broken wooden box. The worker who moved the box gasped, this gold will not be spent in ten lifetimes!
Li Hanyong's originally deep gaze became gloomy, and these useless minions were angry. Li Hanyong put on a smiling face and greeted those workers loudly, "When you finish moving, each person will be rewarded with an ingot." ”
The workers thought that they had met a rich man and seemed to be carrying things with greater strength, but they did not know that death was getting closer and closer to them.
Dozens of carriages of goods were quickly moved, and Li Hanyong set up a few tables of banquets in a replica restaurant, probably because of the previous reasons, those workers were a little restrained. Of course, Li Hanyong understood what they were thinking, and if he sat there, he would feel uneasy.
"Everyone has worked hard, a little wine and food show a little heart, everyone eat while it's hot." Li Hanyong said sincerely, but no one dared to move the chopsticks, but these were all within Li Hanyong's calculations. Seeing that everyone didn't move their chopsticks, Li Hanyong laughed and said: "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, there is no poison in the wine and food, everyone eats and drinks enough to have a gold ingot per person, what should you do when you take the gold, it's just that today's event is just a dream." After speaking, Li Hanyong walked over table by table, drinking and eating food at each table, and there was no poisoning in a circle.
These workers are all peasants, and they have never seen any big scenes, and when they saw that Li Hanyong had nothing to do with eating, they also let go of their courage, eating wine and eating vegetables, and after a while, the originally dead and silent cave suddenly became lively.
It's just that the excitement didn't last long, and some of the workers who had eaten a lot began to feel a burst of colic in their stomachs, and soon fell to the ground, and the seven orifice began to flow black blood, and they lost their breath after a few convulsions.
The workers at several tables all died on the ground without much effort, and Chen Sanmu came over and asked, "Master, ...... they?"
"There are too many people, not to mention poisoning, it's too risky to feed the wolves, drag these people out, and wait for the fire to burn all to ashes at night, and God doesn't know it."
"Got it, master" Chen Sanmu didn't say a word of nonsense, after Li Hanyong left that night, the dozens of people who died of poisoning were turned into ashes overnight, and when the sun rose the next day, all that was left was wisps of green smoke and the occasional spark.
In the Buddhist hall of the princess, the sound of wooden fish lasted for a night, and Ah Yuan stood aside for a night. Finally, the sound of wooden fish stopped, and Ah Yuan came over to help the princess who was a little unsteady on her feet.
"A-Yuan, what time is it?"
"It's almost time."
"Is Yong'er back?"
"The prince hasn't come back yet, Miss, go and take a rest, you haven't slept all night."
The princess was helped by Ah Yuan and sat on the princess's chair, "Yong'er didn't come back, where can I sleep." ”
Ah Yuan knew what Li Hanyong was doing, but her young lady could only pretend not to know if she didn't mention it, and many times people were still confused. Even if she is the concubine's dowry, compared to her son, she is not even a fart.
"Then I'll go cook something for Miss, she hasn't eaten anything since last night."
The princess nodded, agreeing with Ah Yuan's words.
Ah Yuan walked on the front foot, and Li Hanyong came in on the back foot, and when he saw his mother who was pretending to sleep on the Taishi chair, he knew that he must have been chanting the scriptures all night and not sleeping.
"Mother" Li Hanyong called lightly, and the princess opened her eyes and looked at Li Hanyong, her face was full of joy, but she forgot that her joy was gathered from the sadness of many families.
"Yong'er, can the matter be done?"
"Rest assured, one qiē will proceed according to the plan."
The princess patted Li Hanyong's hand, "I know." ”
The mother and son talked again, Ah Yuan came in with food, and the princess took Li Hanyong to eat breakfast together, and waited for the princess to sleep before leaving.
"Mama Yuan, I'm tired of you taking care of my mother." Li Hanyong spoke, observing A-Yuan's expression. Ah Yuan lowered his eyebrows as always, and he was submissive, and he didn't show any difference.
"Where is the prince, you are tormenting the old body. The old body is the dowry maid of the princess, and it is a matter of course to take care of her. Saying that, A-Yuan was about to kneel down, but was pulled by Li Hanyong, "Why does Mama need such a big gift, Hanyong can't stand it." ”
"You are the prince, as you should be."
Li Hanyong took a deep look at Ah Yuan, who was lowering his eyebrows, and left the courtyard of the princess without saying anything. Watching Li Hanyong go away, even Ayuan, who was used to seeing it, was sweating on his back. This Li Hanyong really can't be underestimated.
When Li Hanyong returned to the study, there were already people waiting inside. A mask looks like a young man in his twenties, but his voice can't hide his age.
"What kind of wind blew the Prime Minister to my side?"
"Lord Wang, we don't talk in secret, where did the prince get all the military rations and military expenses raised this time?"
Li Hanyong glared at the person in front of him, "Prime Minister, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." What kind of military rations, what military expenses, what does it mean that such a big basin is deducted on my head? Could it be that the small land on my side is sparsely populated and supplies are in short supply? ”
"How dare I say such things in front of the prince without some evidence, I advise the prince to hand over those things as soon as possible. Hello and I'm good, why should everyone tear their faces! ”
"Prime Minister, I really don't know what I'm not talking about."
Prime Minister Fan looked at Li Hanyong and laughed, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, since I dare to come to you, I am completely sure." I'll give you three days to hand over one thing, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. ”
Li Hanyong looked at Fan Tianling, who slammed the door and left, his face that was still smiling suddenly fell, and the uncontrollable anger came out of his tense face, and the piece of jade pendant he was holding in his hand was crushed. Immediately picked up a note from the desk, wrote something on it, reached out and grabbed a carrier pigeon from the window, tied the note and let it out.
