Chapter 83: The Disaster of the Li Family
"Just last night, our people came this morning to report it."
Tang Shouli squinted, put his hands behind his back, and paced in place for a few steps.
He spoke in a calm voice, "What is the general going to do?" ”
The voice fell for a long time, but I didn't hear the person behind me answer.
Tang Shouli turned his head suspiciously, and then his face immediately pulled down.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't be noisy, busy," Eleven looked down intently, waving his hand impatiently.
Tang Shouli's face sank, and he walked behind him quietly, his gaze falling on someone coldly.
"Ahh
A miserable scream rang out, and Eleven, who was still sitting on the wall just now, fell to the ground face on the ground, and was extremely embarrassed.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and his face was just buried in the snow, and it was cold
He raised his head, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of residual snow, staring at someone not far away with resentment.
Tang Shouli's face did not change, "Hurry up, don't be discovered." ”
The two didn't delay much and went directly out of the Tang family.
When eleven came, he was prepared, and the horse was parked not far from Tang's house.
Hurry up, Tang Shouli was speechless all the way, and went directly to the Li family in Liuhe County
"Coming?"
The person who came was dressed in white, with clear eyebrows and eyes, but the smile never reached the bottom of his eyes.
A teahouse in Liuhe County.
Tang Shouli went straight upstairs, but he didn't expect to see a person who couldn't appear here.
The familiar sound of laughter sounded softly in his ears, Tang Shouli's face was calm, and he asked respectfully, "Why is the general here?" ”
The young man in white paused with a free and easy smile, looked at him with an unhappy face, and said, "It's really boring, it's like this all year round." ”
"Didn't the general say that he would leave for Beijing today, why are you here?"
Tang Shouli ignored Gu Qi's ridicule and continued to ask.
Gu Qi didn't speak, and walked to the window in a few steps, a few strands of green silk and ink hair hanging down on his back.
Tang Shouli stared at the clothes on the young man's body and was stunned for a moment.
The clothes made of cloud brocade are light and soft, and the streamers slide between walks, and they are full of color.
This dress was obviously sent by the eldest princess, how could the general be willing to wear it?
Gu Qi was a little dissatisfied with his distraction, raised his eyebrows impatiently, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Tang Shouli hurriedly stepped forward and walked a few steps away from him, while leaving all the affairs of the eldest princess behind.
"General, Your Majesty has summoned you back to Beijing many times, and you can't delay it any longer."
Gu Qi furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at him, "General Ben finally heard a little movement from my uncle, let's take a look, it's okay to come and see it, the matter of returning to Beijing has been delayed for so long anyway, and I don't care about this meeting and a half." ”
"General--"
Tang Shouli still wanted to persuade, but Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and sank his face, "I'm a general or you're a general, why do you want to disobey military orders?" ”
Tang Shouli finally shut up, but there was still a full disapproval in his eyebrows.
Gu Qi looked at him quite incomprehensibly, and sighed very meaningfully, "Why is Ah Li becoming more and more boring, obviously it wasn't like this before." ”
When he thought of the young man who accompanied him everywhere in the barracks, making trouble, being punished, being caught single-handedly breaking into the enemy camp for a while, and being beaten with thirty military sticks and secretly following the army with perseverance, and then comparing it with the current person who has a calm face every day and is 'general, please think twice', he really sighed in his heart.
Tang Shouli lowered his eyes slightly, and wisely did not answer.
He knew that Gu Qi didn't want him to answer anything.
Who hasn't changed in a few years? Whether it's Gu Qi or him.
The boy who smiled without a trace of gloom in his early years had long been buried in the winter of a few years ago, and he was still smiling, but the smile had not reached his eyes for a long time.
And him, Tang Shouli couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He was almost ten years older than Gu Qi, and he almost watched him grow up, and during those days in the barracks, he was also a brother and a friend.
So Lao Ning Wang deliberately found him before he knew that something had happened.
Gu Qi didn't know about this.
Tang Shouli still remembered that the candlelight in the study that night was very faint, and half of Lao Ningwang's face was buried in the shadows, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he only asked him one word.
"Take care of Qi'er for me, can you do it?"
He forgot how he had answered, only that the news of the death of King Lao Ning came out the next day, and after the news came out, he suddenly felt that something was different.
Since then, he has restrained the impatience in his bones and quietly stayed by the young man's side for many years.
Gu Qi also seemed to think of something, and the two were speechless for a while.
In the end, Tang Shouli was the first to break the silence, he looked at the young man's face that looked like the eldest princess, the beauty was to the extreme, the boy was so good-looking, the old man generally felt that his life was thin, and Lao Ning Wang was also worried, so he threw Gu Qi, who was a few years old, into the barracks, hoping that his temperament would no longer look like a girl.
King Lao Ning's wish has obviously been achieved, and today's young man is arrogant and obedient, and the ladies of Quan Shengjing dare not get close.
Tang Shouli sighed slightly, with helplessness in his eyes, and finally compromised.
Xu is the entrustment of King Lao Ning when he was dying, and he is more like an elder than a subordinate to Gu Qi, and this feeling is quite complicated.
"How long has the general been here," Tang Shouli glanced at the sun outside the window and said, "I heard Eleven say that the Li family has become a mess. ”
"Is it not messy?"
Gu Qi smiled slightly, very satisfied with his subordinates' understanding of current affairs, "Overnight, all the property of the Li family was confiscated, men, women and children, all of them were taken into custody, and the head of the Li family was unfortunately found dead in the suburbs.
Tang Shouli frowned, "King Jin's movements are so fast?" ”
Gu Qi was actually a little surprised, he blinked his eyes, and his crow-like eyelashes made him look like a person in a painting.
"King Jin is indeed deeply hidden, avoiding King An's people, and also serving the nest of King An's side concubine, even General Ben is ashamed of himself."
Tang Shouli was worried, "King An's people will never give up. ”
"That's not necessarily," Gu Qi raised his lips and smiled, and the anger in his eyes flashed. "It's just a concubine, King An has endured it for so long, how could he come up at this time, it's a pity for the Li family, this general was ordered by the emperor to investigate the matter of Yanzheng this time, and he just found something interesting, but I didn't expect King Jin to grab the Li family in front of me"
