"Huh! Come on, Master Fan, let's have a drink!" Li Zhi listened to Fan Ziming's laughter, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly picked up the wine jug, poured another glass for him, and said loudly.

"Come, drink!" Fan Ziming saw Li Zhi raise his glass, the corners of his mouth immediately smiled, lowered his head and picked up the wine glass, and reached out to touch Li Zhi.

"Tsk! This wine is really good! Ha ha! Fan Ziming took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass, muttered in his mouth, then took a bite of the dish, put down the chopsticks, looked at Li Zhi drunkenly, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, now I am also thanks to you to have today's status." If it weren't for you, who introduced me to King Wei, I might still be setting up a stall on the street now! ”

"Huh! I also see that you are very talented!" Li Zhi responded casually, and saw Fan Ziming raise his hand, shook his head with a smile on his lips, and bowed to Li Zhi and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin, I know, what do you want to ask me, but this is about King Wei." It's hard to do, it's hard to do! ”

"Since Lord Fan doesn't want to say it, then I won't embarrass Lord Fan. Come, let's drink!" Li Zhi picked up his wine glass and said with a smile.

"Alas! Since ancient times, it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness! Fan Ziming shook his head and sighed, reached out to pick up the wine glass, raised his head and drank. After putting down the wine glass, he straightened up slightly, looked at Li Zhi with drunken eyes slightly raised, sighed first, and then said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Jin, I'm sorry." I'm drunk, it's not too early, it's time for me to go back. ”

Li Zhi listened to Fan Ziming's words, watched Fan Ziming swaying on the table, and slowly stood up, his face instantly cold.

"Wait, Fan Ziming! You just said that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, and I don't think you have either. You're a disloyal and unrighteous man!" Li Zhi looked at Fan Ziming and walked to the door of the private room, and got up slightly angrily and shouted.

Li Zhi looked at Fan Ziming and stopped, turned around slowly, and said, "As an official of the Tang Dynasty, you helped King Wei to form a gang in private, which is disloyal to Your Majesty." As the parent official of Datang, you want to provoke civil strife in Datang, which is an injustice to the people. ”

"Me!"

"You don't have to quibble, you want to say that you are loyal to King Wei! Hehe! You are the Tanhualang of His Majesty's Qinfeng, and you are not the one who was sealed by the King of Wei. You say, to whom should you be loyal? Li Zhi looked at Fan Ziming anxiously wanting to explain, and hurriedly interrupted in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, parents, hehe! Your Majesty is entitled, and your parents are ......!" Fan Ziming was not drunk at all, glanced at Li Zhi, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, kept muttering in his mouth, and slowly walked towards Ping Wei's side.

Li Zhi looked at Fan Ziming, who was full of alcohol and no drunk, and looked at him suspiciously, and when he walked towards Pingwei, Li Zhi saw Fan Ziming in front of him, his soaked placket, and he also lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Zhi stopped listening to the footsteps behind him, turned around and saw that Fan Ziming was holding the pen in Ping Wei's hand, lying in front of the table, and writing silently.

In Qizhou, it was still early, and in the palace of King Qi, lanterns were lit early and meals were placed.

"Come, come, drink." Li You's voice echoed throughout the hall, and the music played by the musicians in the corner of the wall was suppressed and inaudible, and the dancers in the hall still danced in colorful clothes with their memories.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, please first." The doormen who sat on both sides of the King of Qi collected them, with a passionate smile on their faces, all raised their wine glasses, and shouted to the King of Qi in a loud voice.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" A thin old butler, waving a letter in his hand, staggered into the hall and shouted.

Li You put down the wine glass, half raised his head, squinted at the old butler, and exhaled a little angrily: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Highness, the Jingshi has sent a letter!" The old butler bowed, respectfully handed the envelope, and replied softly.

"Bring it!"

As soon as Li You's words fell, the maid who was waiting behind him got up lightly, moved small steps, walked to the housekeeper, raised his hand and picked up the envelope and walked in front of Li You, respectfully handed it to Li You, and then walked back behind Li You.

Li You took the envelope, looked at the empty envelope, pouted helplessly, and raised his hands together.

With a soft sizzle, the envelope was torn open by Li You, took out the letter paper from it, and gently shook the folded letter paper, and looked at it seriously, and the people below looked at Li You curiously and waited anxiously.

The old housekeeper slowly retreated, walked out of the hall, and followed Wei Wu, who sneaked in behind the old housekeeper, who was cautiously lying on the roof at this time, secretly watching Li You's every move in the hall.

Li You saw the first line of words on the letterhead, his face slowly became solemn, and after a while, Li You still looked at the letterhead on both sides, and gently put the letterhead on the table, and as the paper fell on the table, his eyes also looked out of the door of the house without a look.

"Your Highness? His Royal Highness King Qi? The doormen sitting on both sides looked at Li You's appearance and shouted softly in confusion.

Li You was awakened by their voices, got up instantly, grabbed the letter paper and walked quickly towards the study, shouting to everyone as he went: "Go and gather all the generals and order them to go to my study as fast as possible." ”

"Your Highness! What happened? A few big-shouldered doormen stopped in front of Li You and asked with concern.

"Little thing, can you help me?" Li You looked at the few strong men hunting in front of him, thinking about what was written in the letter, and then asked politely.

"Oops! Your Highness's business is our business, how can you say that you can help! The man standing in front of several strong men replied.

"Okay, then there are a few brothers." After Li You finished speaking to them, he looked at the people gathered around again, smiled and hugged his fists again, and said, "Let's have a good drink another day." ”

After listening to Li You's words, all the doormen saluted Li You, and walked out of the hall in twos and threes.

Li You followed them, walked out of the hall, stood at the door and watched them scatter, turned around and glanced at the few people behind him, and strode towards his study.

After a while, Li You walked to his desk, looked at the brothers who walked in behind him, and said with a smile: "Brothers, the Jingshi sent a letter saying that the old man of Quan Wanji denounced me, saying that I had the intention of rebellion, and my father had already sent someone to arrest me into Beijing, and I wanted you to secretly kill this old horseman, so that my father would have no evidence to convict me." After waiting for the prince to succeed, I will be fine. ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, we will let him die, I don't know how to die!" The big man standing in front of everyone said fiercely, and the people behind him followed him and bowed to King Qi.

"Brothers, hurry up!" Li You looked at their reactions, smiled, stretched out his hand to help them, and said softly.

"Your Highness, just wait for our news!" Several people got up in unison and said solemnly.

Li You smiled and watched them walk out of the study, watching the maid close the door, the smile on his face changed instantly, and he took out the letter paper in his sleeve expressionlessly, shook it vigorously, and spread the letter paper on the table.

Li You glanced at the letter paper on the table, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in front of the desk, and thought about the words on the letter paper: "Quan Wanji played that you have the intention of rebellion, it should be that you find out about rebellion, you first try to protect yourself." Prepare for rebellion, remember not to expose us, and after the matter is completed, you will be cleared. ”

At this time, the four generals under the King of Qi rode high-headed horses and came to the gate of the King of Qi's mansion in a hurry.

"Old Shi, what did His Royal Highness King Qi call us? Did you know or not? A general who got off the horse handed the reins of the horse to the little servant casually, and asked in a low voice to General Shi, who was already standing at the door of the Qi Palace.

"Hey! Old Mo, I'll find out later, don't worry!" General Shi shook his head gently, looked at Lao Mo with wide eyes, and said with a smile.

"Let's go! What are you still standing for?" Lao Mo walked in front of Lao Shi with a smile, and said that he took Lao Shi's arm and was about to enter the Qi Palace.

"Hey, wait! Lao Ji and Lao Fu haven't come yet! Let's wait for them to go in together! Lao Shi reached out and patted Lao Mo's hand on his arm, and reminded casually.

Lao Mo nodded, let go of Shi's hand, and stood beside Lao Shi with his backhand.

After a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves.

"The two brothers have been waiting for a long time!" Lao Ji got off the horse and threw the reins to the little guy, clasped his fists with both hands and said to the two generals at the door, and Lao Fu, who dismounted behind him, also hugged his fists at the door.

"Let's go! Your Highness should be in a hurry!" Old Shi said to the three of them, turning around and leaving.

After a while, the four generals came to the door of Li You's study, and the maid at the door opened the door for the four of them, and watched the four walk in and close the door of the study again.

Inside the room, the four generals walked to the desk, looked at Li You sitting at the desk in unison, saluted respectfully, and shouted loudly: "Subordinate Shi Shanxu, subordinate Mo Xizhi, subordinate Remember, subordinate Fu Chi Mo, see Your Highness!"

"Get up!" Li You said casually.

The four generals straightened up, glanced at Li You, and then at each other. Old Shi took a step forward and asked softly, "Your Highness, what are you calling us to do?" ”

"How many soldiers do we have in Qizhou?" Li You looked up at Old Shi and asked in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, there are 20,000 garrisons and 5,000 elite soldiers guarding the city." Lao Shi replied respectfully.

"Where's the weapon?" After listening to this, Li You was not stunned, and asked casually.

"Your Highness, what are you asking for these things?" Lao Mo looked at Li You curiously and asked suspiciously.

"I'll report back to you on what I'm doing!" Li You heard someone interrupting, looked at it coldly, and said in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant!" Lao Mo looked at Li You's appearance, and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"Go on, how many weapons are there?" Li You turned his head to look at Lao Shi and asked loudly.

"Back to Your Highness, the weapons are still the same as before, and the armor is less." Old Shi lowered his head and said softly.

"It's useless! Now pass my order, the blacksmiths of the whole city gather in front of the palace of the king, and those who come late will be killed! Mo Xi and! Take five thousand elite soldiers, and scavenge all the iron in the city. The end of the pool! Go and bring all the soldiers in the camp into the city, and let them strengthen the walls. When Li You heard Lao Shi's reply, he slapped the table angrily and ordered them loudly.

"Your Highness! You're here, this is going to, you're going to!" Lao Ji stood on the outermost side, listening to Li You's order, his eyes widened in horror, stared straight at Li You, and stammered and asked.

"What do you want?" Hearing this, Li You turned his head to look at Ji He, and asked with a sneer.
