Chapter 44: Ruthless

On the tenth day of the second month of the fifth year of Xianqing (660), Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Mei led a mighty patrol team to arrive in Bingzhou.

On 15 February, he met with the officials of the entourage, their relatives, and the fathers and elders of the officials and subordinates of the prefecture. On the fifth day of the first month of March, Wu Mei invited relatives and old neighbors to the court, and women to the inner hall. The emperor gave enough face to the martial arts family this time, the Yang family smiled from ear to ear every day, and Helan Minzhi became even more arrogant.

In fact, half of Li Zhi's mind when he came here was not on business. Every day I find an opportunity to have a private meeting with Helan Minyue, and Helan Minzhi helps cover up. Of course, Wu Mei knew everything clearly, but she was not angry, she didn't expose it, she was busy all day long, and took Li Chunfeng to visit around. Occasionally, I will ask Li Chunfeng, and it can be seen from the number of words he speaks that it is somewhat useful for him to show his ability so desperately.

Li Chunfeng was not sure what Wu Mei was going to do, and he kept a cautious attitude. However, it is indeed the first time to see Wu Mei's ability so directly. Her insight and courage are not inferior to Gaozong, and she is even very Taizong's legacy in some aspects. If you rely on her wrist alone, she is much smarter than Li Zhi, because she advances and retreats in a measured manner, and handles all the big and small things properly. Looking at Gaozong again, he is absent-minded many times, I don't know if it is a heart disease or a physical illness, and many times Wu Mei needs to mention it from the side to make a decision.

It must be said that this trip to the state left a deep impression on Li Chunfeng, and it also imperceptibly made him more accepting of the change of dynasty in the future.

Helan Minzhi was looking forward to Tang Ying's arrival on the first day the brigade arrived in Bingzhou. He was thinking that on his own territory, food, clothing, housing and transportation could give Tang Ying the highest level of enjoyment, and maybe there would be some surprises. If you create a few more opportunities for Lang Man, maybe this beautiful little lady's attitude towards herself will change.

As a result, reality disappointed him greatly. didn't see Tang Ying, not to mention, but also ushered in Li Chunfeng, who he didn't want to see the most. The first time the two looked at each other, Helan Minzhi's hideous face was written all over his face, in comparison, although Li Chunfeng was also quite disgusted with him in his heart, he was indifferent because of his identity. His disregard was distorted into another meaning by Helan Minzhi, a show off of the victor!

Every time Helan Minzhi saw him standing next to the emperor or empress, taking a notebook to write it down, he felt angry. Why can this bad old man have Tang Ying? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to strangle Li Chunfeng to vent his anger immediately. But after calming down a little, he suddenly realized, why bother to do it himself? On his own turf, when Li Chunfeng had the opportunity to be alone, he found two outlaws to kill him, he was a lot old, and he might be able to fall to death if he fell, so he still had to worry about him?

Thinking of this, he began to send people to pay attention to Li Chunfeng's daily movements and itinerary, and was ready to arrange opportunities to do it at any time.

The opportunity was not long in coming. On the eighth day of the first month of March, Taizong was scheduled to give a military lecture and parade in the west of Bingzhou City. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the palace was busy preparing, and Taishi Li Chunfeng had nothing to do on this day, so he wandered leisurely in the market in Bingzhou.

He smelled the smell of wine wafting out, or heard a steady stream of customers from a restaurant, so he went in and tasted a glass of wine before coming out. I wanted to pick out the most haode pot and bring it back to Chang'an to my beloved wife.

When he first met Tang Ying, he also repeatedly emphasized that "ladies should not be greedy for cups". As a result, this little girl became quite addicted to alcohol because she accompanied herself and wine all year round. Although he is addicted to alcohol, he doesn't dare to compliment the amount of alcohol, and he likes to make a loud noise when he drinks too much, he always feels that this is detrimental to his image, but he likes to see her like this. Because in his heart, love to cry and laugh, dare to love and hate is what Tang Ying really looks like.

I tasted a few of them and harvested two pots of good specialty wine. Li Chunfeng drank quite comfortably, and he also felt a little drunk, and was ready to go back to the post house. Although he was drunk, he was still conscious, knowing that someone was following him behind him. At first he thought it was because he was nervous, but after passing through two or three taverns, the people who were following him did not leave, and things were a little strange.

He is a newcomer, and it is impossible to provoke the head snake, and he has not formed a bond with anyone in his life. After eliminating them one by one, the spearhead was probably pointed at Helan Min's head. Under the influence of alcohol, he gave up his previous principle of being a young man, and was determined to play with Helan Minzhi to see what the hell he was going to do.

Therefore, he continued to walk on the street in the form of an old dragon clock, shaking from time to time, giving people the illusion of being drunk.

Not far behind, there were indeed a few martial artists who were secretly following Li Chunfeng. The more sturdy man at the head saw that he couldn't wait for the wind to blow, and he really couldn't bear to start. They and Helan Minzhi have also done a lot of things in the fish and meat township, but it is the first time to deal with someone of such an age.

The few people who followed him were also looking at each other, and a lean man with a treacherous face said: "Big brother, let's wait for this old man to go to a remote place, beat him unconscious, tie him up, put him in a sack and send it directly to the prince." This old man is good, he drank a lot of good wine in a day, and his brothers haven't touched a drop! ”

When his subordinates heard this, they all agreed, and the big man pursed his lips, spit out the thatch in his mouth, and finally gave the order fiercely, "Go!" ”

Li Chunfeng walked past the post house without entering, and continued to pretend to be old and dizzy, and walked towards the outskirts of the city. After walking for a while, I stopped to look around, and I looked lost.

The thugs in the back originally paid attention to hiding people's eyes and ears, and the scattered followers were not too close to him. When we reached the outskirts of the city, the pedestrians on the streets gradually thinned out, and then I quickened my pace to keep up.

Li Chunfeng saw a dead end full of firewood by the city wall, and he actually rushed into it tremblingly. The people who followed couldn't believe that things were going so smoothly, and they followed one by one with a smile on their faces, leaving the two brothers to stand guard at the mouth of the alley.

Li Chunfeng heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and his heart was secretly happy. He was even more dizzy, and kept muttering, "Huh? Obviously over here, huh? Why can't I see it? ”

The strong man walked up behind him and proudly stopped him: "Old fellow, what are you looking for?" ”

When Li Chunfeng heard this, he burped and pretended to be angry, "Huang ...... Huangkou child, I really don't know how to count etiquette! I am Li Chunfeng, the Taishi of the Dynasty, and you don't salute me when you see me? ”

As soon as he heard the words "Li Chunfeng", the strong man and the thin man glanced at each other happily, as if they were saying that they had found the right person.

Li Chunfeng continued to act, he waved at the strong man and said, "Come on...... In the future, carry me to the post station, and I will reward you with money. ”

The strong man picked up a wooden stick from the side of the road, handed it to the thin man, and said perfunctorily: "Really? Don't lie to me. The thin man sneaked behind Li Chunfeng with a wooden stick, and a stuffy stick smashed on the back of his head.

Li Chunfeng fell to the ground in advance according to the sound of wind coming from the back of his neck. The thin man always felt a little weird in his hand, but he couldn't say it.

The strong man glanced at him suspiciously, "When did you kid start so accurately?" As he spoke, he reached out to probe Li Chunfeng's snort, and hurriedly jumped up in fright when he touched it.

The other brothers all gathered around and asked, "What's the matter, big brother?" ”

The strong man clenched his hand in disbelief, "...... He's out of gas. ”
