Chapter Fifty-Nine: Losing My Wife and Losing My Soldiers (Two in One)
Chang'an Cui Mansion!
Lu Qi came to the door and got together with Cui Hong and Mr. Yan in the backyard.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he asked, "Monk Mingwu has come to Chang'an?" He's our key killer weapon, and we can't afford to make a mistake. β
Cui Hong leisurely motioned for Lu Qi to sit down and speak, and said, "Brother Ziliang, don't worry, my brother knows how powerful." We used a lot of tricks to hide the enlightened monk tightly and keep it safe. Now it's time to start planning for the next step......"
"Great!"
Where did Lu Qi have the heart to sit down, walking around excitedly, rubbing his fists and grinding his palms, and showing his skills.
This time, he brought up the plan to fight back.
When Cui Hong asked him to join the gang, Lu Qi felt that Cui Cheng was too conservative and too detached from the general trend.
What's the general trend?
The general trend is Li Longji.
After Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Zongchang, Empress Wei, Princess Anle and others, Datang already has a scene after the chaos.
After the great chaos, there will be great governance.
This is an immutable law.
What's more, Li Longji is another emperor who is more virtuous than Li Shimin and Li Zhi, but his self-discipline is far inferior to the two.
In the face of this situation, it is extremely irrational to divide Qinglong into two parts, dissociate himself from Li Longji, and serve the Qinglong in the shadows for the family.
Without the support of the powerful, Qinglong is a very ordinary spy organization, at best a more powerful spy organization.
With such a force, it is indeed helpful to their family, but this help is like a knife, and it is not very useful.
Lu Qi is very obsessed with power, and at the same time, he sees it very thoroughly.
He has carefully studied Li Longji and has a certain understanding of Li Longji.
Li Longji grew up under Wu Zetian's house arrest since he was a child, and he experienced three coups in his life: the Shenlong coup, the Tanglong coup, and the congenital coup.
He led two of these three coups, and one was also closely related to his interests.
If it weren't for the five kings who overthrew Wu Zetian, Li Longji would still be a prince under house arrest.
When it comes to the experience of the coup d'Γ©tat, Li Longji, the emperor, can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Because of this, he has a sense of insecurity about his throne, which is also the reason for his attitude towards the crown prince.
In Li Longji's heart, the crown prince is his opponent more than his son.
After Li Longji learned that Princess Taiping had the power of the green dragon, he did not destroy it, but secretly took it for himself, and his intention was quite obvious.
Lu Qi hated Cui Cheng's conservatism, and despised him to the core.
In other words, when he was in a congenital coup, he would inevitably attack and fish out the small fish and shrimp that Princess Taiping had to do at once, so as to prove his worth. Let Li Longji attach importance to Qinglong and rely on the existence of Qinglong.
Lu Qi believed that if it were him, he would now be Li Longji's only confidant, and even used Li Longji's fear of the coup d'Γ©tat to influence his mind to remove anyone who was his enemy.
Cui Cheng gave up this opportunity and let Qinglong simply become an eyeliner, without any considerable achievements in the past few years.
Lu Qi first proposed to maximize the power of the green dragon and make the green dragon a knife in Li Longji's hands.
A knife that obeys their family, but is in Li Longji's hand.
As long as this goal is achieved, why can't their family rise?
Not only will it rise, but it will also recreate the glory of the family during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
It's just that the opportunities are missed one by one, and Datang has gradually moved towards the right track and stability, and there is no chance for them to show their strength.
But with the emergence of Zhanpeng's internal worries, it caused a series of accidents between the Gongsun sisters, Pei Min and Feng Chan, and the previous Fu disgust incident of the king and queen and Li Longji's hostility to the crown prince were not at ease......
All this unknown situation has contributed to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Queen Wang is Li Longji's thorn in the flesh, and the crown prince is Li Longji's thorn in the side, plus Pei Min, the Tang Dynasty with the highest status and prestige, and a border commander with 150,000 male soldiers in his hands......
These three people come together, what is the effect of that?
As the mother of a country, Empress Wang controls the ceremony, just like Zhang Yan, the first empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, who can replace Li Longji to support the crown prince on the throne. And the crown prince is in charge of righteousness, and it is natural for him to inherit the throne. Pei Min controlled the military power, and the Longyou Army, known as the first army in the world, was only a few hundred miles away from Guanzhong.
Especially now the opening of the Longshan Ancient Road, from Longyou to Chang'an, a horse Pingchuan.
The combination of the three of them, as long as Li Longji has an accident, it is entirely possible that he will have the opportunity to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and influence the situation.
The existence of Fu Wei and Wu Gu connects all this, and it is a side game.
Lu Qi and Cui Hong felt that the opportunity had come.
This time, it's either you or I.
Where did Lu Qi calm down, walked around, paused and asked, "What did Your Majesty say over there?" β
Cui Hong said with a little disdain: "What else can you say? Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been ruthless, and His Majesty has been ruthless so far, which can be regarded as unprecedented. β
Queen Wang is Li Longji's distressed couple.
It is said that the friendship between husband and wife in distress is deep, but Li Longji can't see anything here.
Li Longji cares more about Wu Jieyu, so Fu is disgusted, Li Longji stood on Wu Jieyu's side at the first time, and he has long forgotten all the hardships of the past ten years.
In his eyes, there is only Wu Jieyu who is more popular with him, and there is no old person at the beginning.
Now Li Longji just wants to save Wu Jieyu from the cold palace.
As for the life or death of the king and queen, he didn't care about it completely.
"That's good!" Lu Qi said: "Now Your Majesty attaches more importance to Pei Min, once the incident happens, the more disappointed he will be, and the more he feels that no one can be trusted." At that time, Qinglong will be entrusted with important tasks, and it is best to become the original internal guard and become an open court institution. β
For this situation, Cui Hong, Lu Qi, and Mr. Yan have been looking forward to it for a long time.
Cui Hong asked, "Monk Mingwu is already in complete control, so there is no need to worry about it. How is the old lady of Pear doing now? β
They are divided into the work.
Cui Hong is in charge of the line of enlightenment, and the pear wife is watched by Lu Qi.
Lu Qi said with a bit of arrogance: "They don't know that the crisis is coming, and they are treating people in Rende Pharmacy." Can't escape my Five Finger Mountain......"
"That's good!"
Cui Hong and Lu Qi looked at each other and smiled.
**********
Chang'an, night, Chase Fang!
The scale of Chang'an is very large, as the first metropolis in history with a population of more than one million, although the entire Chang'an city is incomparable regardless of the layout and structure, and the existence of slums can never be avoided.
The flow of people in Chang'an is dense in the north and sparse in the south, the closer to the imperial city, the closer to the east and west of the city, the denser it is.
Vice versa!
The farther south you are from the Imperial City, the more sparse nature becomes.
Datongfang is a neighborhood located in the south of Chang'an, with a sparse flow of people, and most of the local people live in poor places.
However, even the common people and the poor are not dirty or messy, showing the demeanor of the national capital.
Gongsun Xi appeared in black in an abandoned temple on Datongfang South Street, his eyes burning with fierce war intent.
Wu Yuan is also dressed in black, the young master of the Wu family in Chang'an, since Pei Min was defeated outside Pei's mansion, his admiration for Pei Min has been endless.
Because Gongsun Xi is Pei Min's apprentice, he loves Wu and Wu, and he also has a good impression of him, so he joined the Qingyu League.
In a few years, the first fast knife of the young generation of Chang'an has grown into a stable ranger.
In the face of Gongsun Xi's anxious and righteous temperament, Wu Yuan has sincerely given birth to admiration.
He knew that Gongsun You was the real leader of the Qingyu Alliance, but compared to the wise Gongsun You, he respected him more, and only Gongsun Xi, who was fair and had no brains.
I feel that this kind of person is the most pure, and her mind is not mixed with the slightest self-interest.
"Alliance leader, just this small courtyard, you can also use it yourself?" Wu Yuan rubbed his fists and sharpened his palms, since the Qingyu League was on the right track, there was obviously less fighting in the rivers and lakes.
They have become an organized and documented team, and when they are reasoned in advance, they can't be polite, and then they do it.
And the current strength of the Qingyu League, there are really not many people who are willing to do it, and if there are contradictions, most of them are big things and small things, and there are few such large-scale knife moves.
Wu Yuan even felt that his knife was about to rust.
"There's a fire in my heart!" Gongsun Xi thought about the inadvertent show of affection between the two people in the house, and he was angry from the bottom of his heart, and said: "I'll rush to the forefront later, and you all follow." If you can't want human life, try not to want human life. If the other party is to kill you, don't be polite. In short, they are not good people, don't hurt yourself. β
"Understood!"
There were more than 20 people who responded to Wu Yuan's voice, and they all covered themselves tightly, revealing their two big eyes.
With the dawn coming!
Gongsun Xi said in a low voice: "Follow me!" β
Outside a house in the middle of Chase Place!
Gongsun Xi waved his hand and said, "Lu Xiang, you take ten people to guard the surroundings, don't let one go." Zhang Ni, you open the door, and the others follow me into the house and arrest everyone in the house. β
She gave this order!
More than twenty black shadows were immediately divided into two parts.
The black-clothed man named Zhang Ni also jumped out, she was as nimble as a monkey, easily climbed over the low-walled courtyard, and opened the door from the inside.
Gongsun Xi was the first to enter.
I opened the door, but it was unlocked.
After a little hesitation, a figure swooped down from above, and the sharp blade in his hand turned into a long rainbow, stabbing towards Gongsun Xi like lightning.
The figure did not hide behind the door, but hid under the eaves outside the door, and grasped the psychological tactics very well.
Normal people will focus on the inside of the house, not on the outside.
It's a pity that his opponent is Gongsun Xi!
Although Gongsun Xi's actions were a little reckless, she never suffered a loss.
Because few people have beaten her!
Hard fists are the truth.
Gongsun Xi's fists may not be hard, but her swordsmanship is strong enough.
As soon as her body turned, the Chaoxia Sword turned around, just to block the opponent's sharp blow.
Then Gongsun Xi's long sword was picked down, and at an incredible angle, he stabbed the sneak attacker in the right shoulder.
Gongsun Xi's long sword was withdrawn, and the person had already rushed into the house.
Wu Yuan kicked the sneak attacker away, and he couldn't go up with two knives, and restrained the opponent's hands and feet.
As soon as Gongsun Xi entered the house, she immediately felt three chills, one in front and one in the left and one right towards her.
She raised her eyebrows, like an energetic fox, and rushed through the gap between the three of them with a bow, and before she even turned, she had already returned to the rear.
Her sword is already weird and tricky, and now in this dark night, it is even more elusive like the Yangtze River, surging endlessly, one sword is more fierce than the other, and one sword is more ruthless than the other. This defeated three of them, forcing the other three to retreat again and again, and the wolves were so sniped that they retreated from the house to the outside of the house together.
The three swords of "dang, dang, dang......", the weapons of the three people were directly flying.
Gongsun Xi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued to reflexively want to kill in the inner room.
Wu Yuan gave them a blow and knocked them unconscious.
Zhang Ni looked at Gongsun Xi, who was furious and angry, and couldn't help but shudder, pulling Wu Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong with the alliance leader?" The anger is so big, what else do we need us to do with her style of play? β
Wu Yuan was also a little dumbfounded, how did he know all the details.
"Maybe it's Tianqi coming, and I'm in a bad mood!" As a woman, Zhang Ni speculated with a bit of gossip.
"What nonsense!" Wu Yuan knocked on Zhang Ni's head, but he thought so in his heart, and said, "They will help ......."
Before he could say a word, he had already heard three screams from the house, and changed his words: "Go to the aftermath ......"
Similar situations are not limited to Chase Place.
There is a similar phenomenon in Guiyifang, Daye Fang, Anyifang, Yongchongfang, Chang'anfang, Yonghefang and the suburbs of Chang'an.
**********
Compared with Gongsun Xi's anger, Gongsun You is in charge of the overall situation in Sun's mansion.
And Pei Min was on the side and chatted with her.
Pei Min's worries are not unreasonable, the other party is indeed one step faster than Pei Min.
Cui Hong and Lu Qi hooked up with Wu Jieyu with the help of Princess Taiping's eyeliner originally placed in the palace, and directly knew the movements of Monk Mingwu, and took the other party to Chang'an through the code fuse first.
However, Pei Min's actions were not useless.
The enlightened monk is not dead, and his lust does not change, so he contacted Liu Ying'er behind his back in the way of a carrier pigeon.
This told Liu Ying'er, which was equivalent to telling Pei Min about them.
also let them know that Monk Mingwu is on his way to Chang'an again.
In response to this news, the Qingyu League has a heavy eyeliner on the road to Chang'an, whether it is by water or land, it is full of people from the Qingyu League.
Eventually, a cat greasy was found on an inconspicuous cargo ship.
It's just that the other party is also very deceitful, and he has set up suspicious formations many times, so that the people of the Qingyu Alliance have lost their traces.
I don't know where the enlightened monk is hiding.
In the end, Gongsun You followed Gongsun Xi's mouth and issued a new order.
There is no need to confirm them one by one, and all the suspicious places are served in one pot.
Anyway, it's the habitat of the green dragon, and if you don't kick it, you don't kick it.
That's what happened tonight.
The fluttering wings of a carrier pigeon flew into Sun's mansion and landed on the stone steps in the front yard!
Gongsun You, who had been waiting for a long time, strode up to meet him, grabbed the carrier pigeon in his hand with his dexterous little hand, took down a scroll of letterhead from the tail, and said with a smile: "I found the enlightened monk, and there is an unexpected joy, Uncle Zhan accidentally rescued us." β
