Chapter 272: Pointing the way
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin didn't feel anything to be proud of, and hurriedly beckoned Li Yuanba to leave. Unexpectedly, not long after, another soldier and horse ambushed, with Li Yuanba there, and he was soon killed and scattered and fled.
Along the way, the four brothers encountered seven waves of ambushes, and they were all killed.
Li Shimin and the others also understood that this time it must be those old ministers who wanted to kill their brothers, so they would lay such a trap.
Although Li Yuanba was there, he easily thwarted their conspiracy, but there was nothing to be proud of.
Because this war also exposed Li Yuanba's strength, his brother will only make people more vigilant, if there is a second chance, then what awaits his brother must be more ruthless tricks.
"Big brother, where should we go next?" Li Yuanji asked.
"Second brother, what do you think?" Li Jiancheng lifted the ball to Li Shimin.
After a slight groan, Li Shimin said: "Go to Xihe to find Chai Yinglong." ”
Li Yuanji frowned: "But his attitude towards us is the most cold." ”
"This person is very filial, and his father has great kindness to his mother, let's find his old mother first, and through his mother's persuasion, Chai Yinglong will definitely help us."
"Okay, just follow what the second brother said, find Chai Yinglong."
Two days later, the four brothers successfully met this Li Yuan's former former department again.
Chai Yinglong glanced at Li Yuanba, who was not good-looking, and his heart was full of scruples, but when he thought of the unsigned letter, he felt that it was not a big deal.
Anyway, their brother can't stay in the state anymore.
Waiting for the maids to put the tea away, Chai Yinglong asked everyone to retreat and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if there is anything that needs Chai's service?" ”
Although his posture was very low, the Li brothers also reached the point of exhaustion.
Li Jiancheng could only put down the shelf and said: "Now there is no place for our brothers in Hedong, so I want to ask Brother Chai to help show the way." ”
Chai Yinglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The heart said, 'It is exactly what is written in the letter!' ’
He pretended to think for a while, and then said slowly: "A few sons, let's be honest, now there is a backer king sitting in Taiyuan, this Hedong is really not a good place for you to make a comeback." If you can trust me, there is a good place to go. ”
"Oh?" Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows: "What place?" ”
"Longxi."
"Longxi?"
Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji repeated in unison, and immediately looked at each other.
I only heard Chai Yinglong continue: "Now this Longxi, on the surface, is the ruling court of the imperial court, but in fact, it has been secretly controlled by Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin. ”
"Xue Ju?" Li Jiancheng is the oldest, and when he used to learn to deal with affairs with Li Yuan, he heard some information about this person, "Isn't Xue Ju the chief scoop of Longxi Green Forest?" Why did he become the overlord of Western Qin again? ”
"This person has long been anti-minded, and has been preparing in secret, and even Liu Wen, the king of Song, has been used by him. Now that he is growing in his wings, his hegemony is revealed, and he gradually can't hide it, and some people who are familiar with his situation have privately given him the title of the overlord of Western Qin. ”
When Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji heard this, they all felt heavy in their hearts.
There are many knowledgeable and ambitious people in this world, and compared with them, the three brothers have lost their father's inheritance and have been left far behind.
Chai Yinglong said: "Although Xue Ju has become the climate, but in the land of Longxi, talents are scarce, and he can be a hero for a while, and it is impossible to achieve great things." So as long as the four sons are willing to join, he will definitely be very welcome. ”
"At that time, you sons can make a comeback with the help of Xue Ju's strength, as long as you use the power of Longxi to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, the old department of Hedong sees hope, will it be as half-hearted as now?"
Listening to Chai Yinglong's words, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji all felt that it was very reasonable.
After discussing for a while, he wrote a letter and contacted Xue Ju tentatively.
Less than half a month later, they received a reply from Xue Ju, the content of the letter was extremely sincere and enthusiastic, and the Li brothers were overjoyed and immediately set off for Longxi.
Liu Wen was silent after getting the news.
On the side of Longxi, he also sent a lot of spies, but now Xue Ju lives in a simple place, and it is impossible to figure out the origin of the guy who took him.
Now that the four Li Shimin brothers have gone, I don't know if it's a good thing.
The time to pay homage to Qin's mother is getting closer and closer, and Shan Xiongxin has assigned a task to his people in the green forest, and each mountain has pooled money to prepare for Qin's mother's birthday.
Because Liu Wen didn't want to expose some of his own circumstances, he took the lead with Shan Yingying and Luo Shixin.
……
And in Cheng Yanjin, who was in Wunanzhuang, because his mother often chattered, he was always thinking about the eventual birthday of his godmother, so he asked You Junda to prepare early.
You Junda was about to cry.
This time, all the robbers of Longyi Tribute must be returned to the people.
Not to mention his efforts in vain, all kinds of expenses have to be burned silver, and the money he saved from doing green forest trading in the past is about to be lost.
Cheng Bingjin also learned to love Haokuo, and when he was ready to give Qin's mother a birthday, he would send tens of thousands of taels.
What a premature life!
Where did you come up with so much money!
You Junda really had no choice but to warm Cheng Biting Jin with good words, hoping to deal with this matter.
Waiting to set off, Cheng Yanjin asked, "Brother, are you ready for your silver?" ”
"Ready."
"Where?"
"It's in the box."
"Boxes?" Cheng Yanjin looked for it, and saw a basket placed on the horse, and in the basket on both sides, a box was placed on one side, "Open it and let me take a look." ”
"Yo Yo, brother, this is unacceptable, the boxes are sealed, and it is unlucky to open them."
"Hey~~~ Let's find another box to put it."
"No, no, no, how can we lie to ourselves?"
"You Junda!" Cheng Yanjin glared: "You also know that you lied to yourself?!" ”
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"What, what?" Cheng Biting Jin pointed at You Junda, "I treat you as a brother, and you don't care about what I said." I, Second Brother Qin, do you know how much kindness I have to us? I would ...... without him."
Cheng bites the sentence in Jin's mouth, "Can my brother Liu Wen do his best to help us?" almost slipped out, and suddenly realized that he had sold Liu Wen, and quickly held it back.
You Junda felt that Cheng Yanjin had something important to say that he hadn't finished, and said, "Brother, why didn't you say it?" ”
"Talk about what!" Cheng Biting Jin pretended to be angry, "I told you, can you take it to heart!" ”
"Brother, it's not that I'm stingy." You Junda had a bitter face: "This time, we robbed the Longyi tribute, we have to find a way to return it to the people." And in order to accomplish this great thing, I have added a lot of money to my own soldiers, horses, and food. Although my brother's previous savings are a little, but if I spend so lavishly, it won't take two years for the villagers in Wunanzhuang to go out to beg for food. ”
