Although the Li family father and son are a family, it is said that one mansion is enough to live in. But now that the Duke of Tang is the burden of the survival of the Great Sui, and he has the burden of commanding more than 100,000 tigers on his shoulders, he naturally can't be wronged at all. It is because the Li family, father and son, each have their own private house, although the distance is not very far, but after all, they can ensure privacy. When Li Jiancheng was in Jinyang, he had to communicate with the children of famous families, and now he is constantly feasting. The silk and bamboo orchestral women's music and dance continue to sing and dance, if Li Yuan is counted as the hidden prince, Li Jiancheng's style is already above the prince.

Today is no exception, the door is full of famous horses and high carriages, the hall is full of silk and bamboo, the graceful women dance with long sleeves and dance, the delicacies and delicious elixir and jade liquid are sent in, and the guests in brocade clothes raise their glasses and drink and talk and laugh loudly, which seems to be the same as in the past, but if you look closely, you will find that Li Jiancheng, as the host, was not present, and even his henchman Xie Shufang was not present.

It is naturally rude for the host to leave the table for no reason, but Li Jiancheng's subordinates have their own people who can entertain the scene, which is enough to ensure that the banquet will not be cold. What's more important is that although these people who drink and feast may not have many real talents, they are all people who are responsible for the entertainment scene at home, so they naturally know when to pretend to be deaf and blind.

Li Jiancheng and Xie Shufang and several other family sons who are usually very close to each other will have confidential discussions when they leave the table, and if anyone looks for them at this time, won't they be annoying to people? It was tacitly understood by everyone, and on the surface, they pretended not to find that anyone had left the table, let alone talked about it, but secretly wondered in their hearts. In the past few days, Chang'an City has been calm on the surface, but it is turbulent secretly. What Li Jiancheng is planning, even if these people don't fully know, they have to get a glimpse of it.

Although Xu Le's visit to Jiangdu this time is confidential, these people are well-informed and have already found some clues. It is said that this matter will come to an end at this point, Xu Le beat Dou Fengjie, and the Guogong sent him to die, and he also promised. Using Xu Le's life to make up for Dou Fengjie can be regarded as an explanation. The so-called murder is not a nod to the ground, not to mention that now is the time to employ people, and it can be regarded as an explanation to use the life of that madman to make amends to Dou Dalang. The prince still refuses to give up, so these people can't understand how he is willing to give up.

In the study, Li Jiancheng's face was gloomy, there was no smile on his face, and his tone was even more unwilling: "This Xu Le is really bold, could it be that he thinks he has a few more heads than others?" When he's gone, our minds will be in vain! On the contrary, he offended Dou Dalang in vain, although he was as stupid as a cow and a horse, he would be able to figure everything out sooner or later. ”

Xie Shufang shook his head and sneered: "What can he do if he wants to understand?" Don't look at him daring to be unrelenting with Xu Le, borrow a few of his courage, and don't dare to embarrass Lang Jun! Even if you want to figure it out, you have to continue to pretend to be confused, otherwise we have a way to make him feel better! ”

That being said, it doesn't do much to offend someone out of thin air. What's more, everyone is a relative, and if you look down and don't look up, it will be very troublesome if you let others know in the future. ”

Xie Shufang knew that Li Jiancheng was not afraid of Dou Fengjie, and this gentleman was just a trouble for Li Jiancheng at best. The reason why he didn't give up was actually to use the topic to express his dissatisfaction with himself. Xie Shufang felt that since the defeat in the Battle of Pujin, Li Jiancheng was quite dissatisfied with himself. After the siege of Chang'an, this dissatisfaction became even stronger.

On the surface, he is still Li Jiancheng's mastermind now, but he can feel that they are not as separated from each other as they were at the beginning. This design was originally intended to save the friendship between the two, but it was in vain, and now it has caused Li Jiancheng to blame.

He couldn't understand where he did wrong to evil this Li family son, but the situation was stronger than people, who made Jiang Zuo's Xie family lose its momentum back then, so he had to swallow his anger and continue to perfunctory the future head of the Li family. Seeing that Li Jiancheng was unhappy, Xie Shufang's attitude was still calm, and he said with a smile:

"Lang Jun is too worried. When Dou Dalang agreed to do this, he should have thought that he might be fisted. Now it's easy to let him calm his anger, as long as he gives him Xu Le's head. Of course, this head was not cut off by Jiang Du, but by us to take it down and give it to Dou Dalang. This favor is weighty enough, even if he has a lot of anger, it should be dissipated. ”

"Chop off Xu Le's head? This is easy to say, that is a ruthless character who can take dozens of people to crisscross Chang'an and make tens of thousands of soldiers and horses powerless, what trick do you have to cut off his head? ”

Xie Shufang couldn't help but feel unhappy, and continued: "Lang Jun only knows one and doesn't know the other, Xu Le is brave and brave, but after all, he is a hero on land. All that was relied upon was bravery, horses, and those armored cavalry charging in formation. These skills are only effective when they are displayed on land, if they are put on the water, even if they have the means to reach the sky, what are we afraid of him doing? Lang Jun think about it, isn't this the truth? If he wants to go to Jiangdu, he must take the waterway. Nowadays, there are thieves rampant on waterways and official roads, and it is not unusual for them to be killed by bandits as merchants in disguise without a banner. ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, staring at Xie Shufang with two eyes: "To do such things, you must use competent people, where can we find people?" If someone finds out the roots, the adults will be the first to refuse! ”

"Although Lang Jun can rest assured, this plan was conceived by someone, and the person who did it was naturally a way to find a way, so as to ensure that the arrangements were made properly and no one would find out the clues."

Li Jiancheng didn't say anything more, but fell into deep thought. Xie Shufang's words are obviously not true, most of his subordinates have an obedient water thief for their own use. As long as Xie Shufang gives the order, they will attack. After all, Jiang Zuo Xie's family has been sitting in the southeast for many years, although the prestige of the family business is not as good as before, but after all, it is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, and it is not surprising that some private soldiers are not surprised.

Those who can entrench one side and have a reputation for bandits collude with the family lords, and it seems to outsiders that it is impossible for the high-ranking families to have anything to do with the thieves, in fact, the two sides are just a hill, and even the family raises thieves to rob their own homes and eliminate opponents. The people who can be valued by Xie Shufang are naturally not weak in their means, and it is inconvenient for people to perform on the water, perhaps...... Can they really make it happen?

Li Jiancheng's heart was slightly active, and at the same time, he was alert. Xie Shufang had never said before that he still had such a water team, obviously hiding his scheming with himself. You have to be wary of him, lest sooner or later he will be counted.

At this moment, Liu Wenjing, who had not spoken for many days, suddenly got up and said, "Lang Jun must not be like this!" Xu Le's trip is related to the great cause of the Li family, if he misses his official business due to personal anger, he is afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the prince! ”

Xie Shufang snorted coldly: "Why did Gong Liu say this? Why did Guogong arrange for Xu Le to envoy Jiangdu, you and I know it well, it was just to ask him to be on the head, do you really think that a martial artist envoy can conclude an alliance? It's a joke! ”

"Even if it can't be contracted, it should die in Jiangdu instead of on the road. Yang Guang made his excellent reputation spread, that is, he was straight, and no matter how the prince acted in the future, he could let go of his hands and feet and be invincible. If Xu Le dies in the middle of the way, Yang Guang can throw it clean! Is the Duke sending another emissary? Or just let it go? Will our army attack the Wagang thieves first, or will we meet the Sui army first? ”

Liu Wenjing didn't give an inch, and her tone was sonorous and powerful, and she couldn't even care about Li Jiancheng's face. Although he is also a son of a family, he also wants to make friends with Li Jiancheng and Huang Tengda to let his family get a piece of the pie in the troubled times, but what he thinks and what he thinks is still quite different from Xie Shufang.

Jiangzuo Wang Xie These old families have been inherited for many years, and what they are considering is whether their family business can be revitalized, and they don't care who owns the country. After all, Liu Wenjing's family background cannot be compared with these people, and her mind is different. In his opinion, it is understandable to revitalize the family business and improve the family personality, but it must be stable to do this. If there is endless war in the world, a family like yourself that can't wait is likely to be uprooted. It is the first priority at present to end the war as soon as possible and avoid a repeat of the tragedy of the five chaos of the past.

Since his own family is tied to the Li family, he naturally hopes that the Li family can dominate China. At present, it is too early for Xie Shufang to rush to eliminate dissidents and compete for power, even if it is not the time to kill Xu Le, an invincible famous general. Don't look at the Li family's control of Chang'an, but the Wagang army is like a wolf and a tiger, and the Great Sui still has the strength to fight. In addition to them, there are even more terrifying Turkic iron horsemen in the north, as well as heroes such as Liu Wuzhou. How many heroes are there in the world, and who can say clearly?

At this time, we should focus on the overall situation, rather than rushing to grab the merits and share the profits and compete for the benefits. Li Jiancheng wants to cut off Li Shimin's future, and it is difficult to stop him, and now they still want to kill Xu Le, which is too ignorant.

But as soon as he spoke, Li Jiancheng took over: "What Zhaoren said is extremely true, we still have to focus on the overall situation, and we can't abolish the public for personal reasons. But...... Zhaoren doesn't have to be alarmist, if the will of heaven does not allow Xu Le, we have no choice. I can't say that without Xu Le, my Li family won't be able to win the world, how can there be such a truth in the world? ”

Li Jiancheng's words were like a basin of cold water poured down, pouring Liu Wenjing's body and mind cold. For the first time, he seriously thought about whether he was following the wrong lord. Although this Li family elder is the head of the Li family, he looks like a king, and he can be good friends with the family, so he is a qualified candidate for the monarch. But now that it sounds, his pattern is too low, and he is a bit suspicious of being a phoenix. If such a person is born in peacetime, in such troubled times, can he defeat those heroes and win the world?

Compared with Li Jiancheng, it seems that Li Shimin is more in line with the image of the founding monarch. If it weren't for the fact that he was too close to Li Jiancheng before, he would have changed his course now and voted for another master. However, I heard that Li Shimin is able to tolerate people and has a broad mind, and if he wants to defect, I wonder if he is willing to accept it?
