Chapter 1409: Xiao Zhou's Trouble
"Knock ......"
"Boom ......"
The sound of broken porcelain was endless, but Gao Qiang just didn't hear it.
Gao Qiang was ordered to pick up Xiao Zhou, and Li Zhongyi told him very clearly, as long as it was delivered safely to Chizhou, it would be a great achievement.
To put it bluntly, Gao Qiang would rather go to the battlefield to kill than take on the heavy responsibility of picking up Xiao Zhou's family.
However, the facts are the facts, there is no if, in the face of Li Zhongyi's cordial expectations, Gao Qiang had to take the burden head-on.
Along the way, Xiao Zhou's has always refused to stop, either smashing things, or referring to Sang scolding Huai's sarcasm.
Gao Qiang was very irritable in his heart, but he had to endure it again and again, after all, Xiao Zhou's family must be Li Zhongyi's woman, and it is likely that he will be a concubine in the future.
In the final analysis, Gao Qiang can neither beat Xiao Zhou, nor dare to scold, and can only hold back his grievances in his heart, which is really uncomfortable!
"The surname is Gao, I want to go home, I miss my father......" Xiao Zhou shouted as he slapped the table and hit the chair in the house.
Gao Qiang could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, turning a deaf ear to Xiao Zhou's shouts, and treating them as if they were completely air.
The person has been brought to Chizhou, and Gao Qiang's huge psychological pressure has been released to a great extent.
Xiao Zhou's side, there are people waiting for him all the time, Gao Qiang has words first, if Xiao Zhou's is a little missing, the maids who are waiting in the house don't want to live.
"The surname is high, you come in for me, I have something to say." Xiao Zhou may be tired, and as usual, he wants to call Gao Qiang into the house, and then sneer.
Gao Qiang was named, but he tidied up his clothes in a hurry, and then slowly pushed the door into the house.
"The commander of the pro-tooth battalion, meet the little lady in Xia Gaoqiang."
This is Gao Qiang's self-created title, since Xiao Zhou's has not yet been titled, it makes sense to call her a little lady.
However, Gao Qiang kept an eye on it and deliberately emphasized that he was the commander of the Qinya battalion.
Generally speaking, all the big leaders of the pro-tooth camp must be the most confidants around the lord.
Gao Qiang's intention to do this was to let Xiao Zhou's know a little more interesting and cause him less trouble.
However, Xiao Zhou has been pampered since he was a child, so where can he care about Gao Qiang's hints?
"Gao Qiang, it's been many days since you kidnapped me here, and I'm about to be suffocated to death, why don't you go out for a walk?" Xiao Zhou showed a rare smile.
Gao Qiang forcibly turned his head away, not daring to continue to look at Xiao Zhou's at all, however, the pounding heart was beating violently and uncontrollably, without the slightest sign of slowing down.
How to say it, Gao Qiang's time by Li Zhongyi's side is not short, he has seen Li Cuixuan who is like a disaster in the world, and Fei Meiniang, who is charming and delicate, but none of them have the feeling that their heartbeat is accelerating sharply and they are almost out of control.
The little Zhou family in front of him is so beautiful that he doesn't dare to look at it directly, and Gao Qiang is afraid that if he looks at it twice, he will make mistakes uncontrollably.
"Let's make a discussion, as long as you accompany me to go shopping, I won't trouble you anymore, okay?" Xiao Zhou is not a big-chested and brainless woman, she deliberately made a fuss before, waiting for this moment in front of her.
Gao Qiangxin said that only a fool would believe your words, and he dared to assert that as long as Xiao Zhou's family went to the street, he would definitely want to make a tricky fuss.
"Little lady, the military order is extremely strict, I was just ordered to send you to Chizhou to stay." With Gao Qiang's eight hundred courage, he didn't dare to lead Xiao Zhou's out.
In case there is a mistake that makes Xiao Zhou run away, or bumps into somewhere, he will die of a hundred strong deaths!
"Hmph, then, I'll tell your master when I go back, you are disrespectful to me......" Xiao Zhou's words pointed out the key point, which is the one Gao Qiang is most afraid of.
However, the more Xiao Zhou wanted to go to the streets, the more Gao Qiang didn't dare to let her go out. The reason is obvious, Xiao Zhou's suddenly stopped making trouble, and warned Gao Qiang with words, she was afraid that she just wanted to slip away, right?
Just when Gao Qiang had a headache, a relative tooth outside came in to report that Liu Heyang, the general of the march of Yangzhou Road, the general of Zhengdong, was here.
Gao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, with Liu Heyang in charge, the burden on his shoulders could obviously be relieved.
After leaving Xiao Zhou's family, Gao Qiang rushed to the Chizhou Soldiers and Horses Governor's Mansion and respectfully visited Liu Heyang.
Liu Heyang followed Li Zhongyi's left and right very early, not only with old qualifications, but also won Li Zhongyi's trust.
Otherwise, such an important Yangzhou Road marching chief would not have been appointed to Liu Heyang.
Liu Heyang's rank is much higher than Gao Qiang's, but Gao Qiang is the commander of the Qinya Battalion, and his future prospects are limitless.
Therefore, Liu Heyang turned over slightly and said with a smile: "That's it, no courtesy!" ”
When Gao Qiang stood up straight, Liu Heyang took out Li Zhongyi's secret message from his arms and said softly: "I have an edict and order Liu Heyang to send troops to escort Gao Qiang and his party to Kaifeng Mansion." ”
Gao Qiang took the edict handed by Liu Heyang, carefully checked it, and found no flaws, so he said respectfully: "Your subordinates are here-instructed!" ”
"Little brother, Kaifeng City has been quite unpeaceful recently, I will give you two battalions of soldiers and horses, in addition to delivering Xiao Zhou's family safely to Kaifeng, the emperor has another secret order, ordering me to hand it over to you personally." Liu Heyang smiled and handed a secret message to Gao Qiang.
Gao Qiang took the secret edict, opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Li Zhongyi ordered him to arrive in the capital, and all actions were at the disposal of Li Yunxiao, the commander of the Nine Gates.
Since it was a secret message, Gao Qiang didn't show it to Liu Heyang, and Liu Heyang also consciously didn't ask.
"Little brother, I helped you pick two battalions of soldiers, a total of 3,000 people, have you seen enough?" Liu Heyang was a little polite to Gao Qiang, mainly because he was the commander of the Qinya battalion.
On Li Zhongyi's side, there are both guards and pro-tooth battalions. Among them, the people of the pro-tooth battalion have the right to carry knives and guards.
It is conceivable how important is the commander of the pro-tooth battalion?
Gao Qiang arched his hand and smiled: "It's enough, Li Shuai still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands." ”
Li Yunxiao, the commander of the Nine Gates, holds all the power of the soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, and his position is both high and powerful, and he is the first confidant of Li Zhongyi's confidants and ministers.
After Gao Qiang went back to his residence and instructed everyone to pack up, Xiao Zhou's saw that the situation was not good, and he began to make trouble again.
Gao Qiang didn't bother to pay attention to her, just urged everyone, quickly packed up, and after an hour, he had to get back on the road and return to the capital.
Xiao Zhou's only messed with her, Gao Qiang was not scared, let alone a vegetarian, he was even the commander of the pro-tooth battalion who had to be polite to Liu Heyang.
Li Zhongyi arranged for Gao Qiang to pick up Xiao Zhou, obviously expecting this layer, so he gave Gao Qiang an edict to act cheaply.
As long as it is within the jurisdiction of the Qiang Han Dynasty, Gao Qiang can not only be unimpeded, but also have the right to temporarily transfer troops in case of emergency.
Because of this, Gao Qiang saw Li Zhongyi's mind clearly, and the emperor and his old man obviously attached special importance to Xiao Zhou's family.
If you can't afford to provoke it, you just don't want to provoke it, Gao Qiang let Xiao Zhou's make a fuss and ignore it.
When Xiao Zhou's family was tired, he was carried by the maid and boarded the carriage to the north.
"Brother Huang, my brother is willing to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to rescue the Tang Kingdom." Meng Renyi impassionedly took the initiative to ask.
Meng Chang stared at Meng Renyi coldly, someone had already said that Meng Renyi had ill intentions and wanted to rebel against himself.
Now it seems that Meng Renyi's desire to master military power is simply beyond words.
"Hmph, you led the troops to fight Li Zhongyi? Are you his opponent? Meng Chang pursed his lips and looked at Meng Renyi with disdain.
Meng Renyi knew in his heart that Meng Chang had always suspected that he wanted to rebel, so he had been studying behind closed doors at home, wanting to avoid trouble.
However, since Li Zhongyi has already made a move against the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the next target is obviously the Meng family in Shu.
No matter how good Meng Renyi and Li Zhongyi's personal relationship is, it can't hide the fact that Meng Renyi's surname is Meng, but his surname is not Li!
If the Meng family's country is lost in Meng Chang's hands, what kind of face does Meng Renyi think he still has to meet his ancestors and ancestors?
The envoy sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty to ask for reinforcements had been living in the pavilion for more than a month, but Meng Chang had never refused to summon him.
According to Meng Renyi's private speculation, Meng Chang was only afraid that he was hoping that after Li Zhongyi took the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was afraid of the difficulties of Shu Dao, and did not dare to attack Shu, right?
How can there be a fluke mentality in the relations between the two countries?
What's more, I think that Meng Chang carried Meng Renyi behind his back and forcibly sent Li Zhongyi into Chai Rong's tiger's mouth, and this big account has not yet been settled?
With Li Zhongyi's personality of revenge, how could he spare Meng Chang? Even if Meng Renyi used his toes to think, he knew that it was absolutely impossible.
For today's plan, the best policy is that Shu and Tang join forces to jointly resist the domineering Li Zhongyi, which is the right reason!
It's a pity that Meng Chang seems to be blinded by lard, and he just wants to guard the territory of Shu and live a comfortable and enjoyable life.
"Brother Huang, you can also send Zhao Tingyin as the commander and lead the troops to rescue the Tang Kingdom." Meng Renyi really had no tricks, so he had to retreat to the second.
Among the generals of Shu, the most capable general is the son of the old lady Zhao, Zhao Tingyin.
It's just that Meng Chang neither believes in Meng Renyi nor Zhao Tingyin. The key lies in Zhao Tingyin's father, Mrs. Zhao.
Li Zhongyi, there is no blame for the word, this happens to be the table word that Mrs. Zhao personally chose for him, how do you say that Meng Chang can rest assured of the Zhao family?
In addition, Meng Chang has always felt that Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to be easily defeated.
Even if Li Zhongyi destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, Meng Chang felt that as long as he lowered his posture, took the initiative to pay tribute, and sent a few beauties to Kaifeng, presumably Li Zhongyi would not do anything to him, right?
Because of this, Meng Chang deliberately hung the envoy sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty in the pavilion for more than a month.
"Brother, you are in such a hurry to lead the troops out, could it be that you have already colluded with Li Zhongyi?" The more Meng Chang looked at Meng Renyi, the more frightened he felt, and all kinds of rumors that were unfavorable to Meng Renyi in the past involuntarily surfaced in his heart.
Meng Renyi was completely dumbfounded, his hard work to protect the Meng family's country was exchanged for a frightening suspicion, how could he be embarrassed?
"Brother Huang, why do you say this, your brother's loyalty to you can be shown every day!" Meng Renyi expressed his loyalty categorically.
Meng Chang didn't believe a word, he smiled coldly and said, "Without your reminder, I almost forgot that in this Shu land, the person who has the closest relationship with Li Wuyi is the Zhao family, except for you." ”
No matter how stupid Meng Renyi was, he could hear that Meng Chang had already had murderous intentions, he quickly knelt down under His Majesty Dan, kowtowed heavily, and said: "Brother Huang, my brother is willing to go to Shou Heling and never return to Chengdu for the rest of his life." ”
Heling is Meng Zhixiang's mausoleum, and Meng Renyi and Meng Chang are both Meng Zhixiang's own sons.
Meng Renyi is willing to guard his father's mausoleum and never return to Chengdu, which can be described as full of sincerity.
However, Meng Chang didn't listen at all, he coldly reprimanded: "What do you know? What kind of face do you have to guard the tomb for your father? ”
Although Meng Chang did not say it explicitly, Meng Renyi understood, and Meng Chang was worried that he would take advantage of guarding the imperial tomb in the future to make a big fuss in secret.
The suspicion between brothers has reached an outrageous level, what else does Meng Renyi have to say?
"Brother Huang, if you don't save Tang Guo today, Li Zhongyi will definitely raise troops to attack my Dashu in the future." Meng Renyi knew that he couldn't do it, but he was unwilling to give up the last chance to save himself.
"Hmph, do you think you're smart and capable?" Meng Chang forcibly suppressed the anger that was about to erupt, fished out something from his cuff, and threw it in front of Meng Renyi, "Look at it, what is this?" ”
Meng Renyi picked up the paperwork, held it in his hand, looked at it intently, and almost vomited blood in anger.
Dare to be affectionate, this is Meng Chang's letter to Li Zhongyi, at the end of the letter, he brazenly said that he would like to regard Li Zhongyi as his father.
"Brother Huang, ...... you" Meng Renyi was so confused that he actually got up and raised his finger, pointed at Meng Chang, and shouted, "Brother Huang, it's time for you to wake up from your big dream, do you think that if you are a minister or treat Li Zhongyi as your father, you can be exempted from the military disaster?" ”
"Hmph, brother, you have prided yourself on being smart since you were a child, and you look down on me as a brother." Meng Chang endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it, so he simply broke out.
"The envoy sent by Li Zhongyi is already on his way to Chengdu. It is said that he has agreed to all my conditions, but he has more requirements for the number of beauties to be tributed. Meng Chang said triumphantly, "I originally planned to send only ten beauties over, but who expected that Li Zhongyi would be too little." Alas, who told me that there are more beauties in the Great Shu Kingdom, so I just fulfilled him, and sent twenty beauties over. ”
"Someone, go and kill the envoy sent by the Tang Kingdom, cut off the head, and present it to the envoy sent by Li Zhongyi." Meng Chang thought he had a plan, so he simply showed Meng Renyi a look, so that he would no longer dare to despise his brother.
"Imperial brother, my imperial brother, by all means......" Meng Renyi was shocked, if Meng Chang really killed the envoy of the Tang Kingdom, it would be equivalent to a complete face-to-face with Li Tang, how can this be done?
"Brother, although you are my own brother, don't forget that the country is mine, not yours. If you really want to do great things, after you become the emperor, you will come back to teach me a lesson, right? Meng Chang had been holding back for a long time, and finally found a suitable exit, and poured his brain into Meng Renyi's body.
