Chapter 58 Collecting power and wealth, ringing the bell and building a temple, protecting his wife and children, breaking his fingers and wiping his boots4

.

Seeing that the third master was dead, he had insulted Li Bai's mountain bandits before, and when he landed, they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Although Li Bai had hatred in his heart, he didn't think too much about these people's crimes and not to death.

At this time, Li Ke, Yuewa and Hou Gui also rushed to the village. Only then did they see Li Bai, Li Ke and Yuewa rushed forward to ask for warmth, all kinds of care and protection, and Zhang Baji, these mountain bandits were so moved, and the whole heart seemed to melt away so warm. There are even a few who have been moved to tears, and they can't help but think of their parents, as well as their wives and children.

Love is a contagious disease.

The next thing was very happy, Zhang Baji immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet, set up a banquet table, and entertain Li Bai's family. After several talks, Li Ke and Zhang Ba are too good to be called brothers, and they have a feeling of hating each other. With the help of wine, a group of mountain bandits also worshiped in front of Guan Erye, and ranked their funds from the new generation, Zhang Ba was big, and Li Kexing was seven.

The enthusiasm was difficult to bear, and the Li Mansion and others waited for seven or eight days in Ling'er Mountain. In the meantime, the thin guard who claimed to be drinking like a sea of alcohol had been drunk and did not wake up, and slept very well, snoring like thunder every day and night, like a pig.

In the evening of this day, Li Ke was alone, eating, drinking and merry-drinking with Zhang Baji and the others as usual. After the third round, with the help of wine, Li Ke suddenly asked: "Big brother, in the past few days, my brother has always wanted to tell my eldest brother something, but after thinking about it, I don't know how to speak. Today's wine is strong, I want to ask you to listen to it with your eldest brother, I don't know if it's feasible or not? ”

"Oh? What is it? Zhang Baji: "Seventh brother, please speak bluntly, no matter what happens, it doesn't matter." ”

"Then brother won't go around the bend with Brother Zhang!"

Li Ke has been in business for many years, and his skill of reading people is very powerful. After getting along these days, Li Ke already knows that Zhang Baji is a chivalrous man who doesn't like to twist and pinch and hesitate.

So, Li Ke changed his words and said: "Big brother, the matter of my Li Mansion moving to Sichuan and Shu cannot be delayed much, and after discussing with my wife's family, I decided to leave Ling'er Mountain tomorrow!" ”

"Alas!"

Zhang Baji sighed after hearing this, and his face showed reluctance. These days, one of Zhang Baji's happiest and favorite things is to fight wine with Li Bai; Despite losing every time. Several times when the two of them were in high spirits of drinking, they almost knelt directly on the spot and bowed in front of Guan Erye; If it weren't for Li Ke, the seventh brother, to stop him.

Now that I heard Li Ke say that he was leaving, I was sad and reluctant to give up. But Zhang Baji knew the principle that 'there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed', so he only paused and said to Li Ke: "Virtuous brother! Don't worry about it, I'll personally escort you down the mountain tomorrow! ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Li Ke got up and thanked him, then changed the conversation and said, "But big brother, brother, I want to leave with Miss Lenu!" ”

"You can't agree to this, big brother!" Without waiting for Zhang Baji to speak, the one-eyed mountain bandit on the side suddenly said anxiously: "Although Miss Lenu has a lot of fate with the seventh brother's family, she has always been the person that Gao Gonggong wants. ”

"Yes, big brother! The third brother is right! The mountain bandit with a scar on his face echoed and said, "If the seventh brother is allowed to take the girl Lenu away, then our Ling'er Mountain will definitely be exterminated by Gonggong Gao!" ”

"So big brother, think twice about this!"

"Big brother! Think again! ”

The brothers dissuaded one after another.

Secretly, this Gao Gonggong is Gao Lishi, the first eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, the first celebrity and the first confidant around Tang Xuanzong; His real name is Feng Yuanyi, and he is only loyal to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

Although Gao Lishi was a eunuch and eunuch, he was extremely powerful. No matter what kind of text is played, it must first be presented to Gao Lishi for inspection, and then it will be presented to Tang Xuanzong. If it is a trivial matter, Colliers can make his own decision on behalf of the emperor without having to report it.

Even those princes, concubines, princes, and other nobles have to call Gao Lishi 'brother' and 'master' in private. Even countless royal relatives and relatives are vying to recognize Gaolishi as a godfather and grandfather.

Amazing! Cows have to go to heaven!

Not long ago, Gao Lishi suddenly asked someone to come and directly and unceremoniously issued an order to Zhang Baju in the form of a letter, asking him to lead the brothers in Ling'er Mountain to arrest Lenu. I didn't say what the reason was, but I just said that if you succeed, you will get a bounty; If you lose, you will level Ling'er Mountain.

Zhang Baji didn't dare to slack off, knowing that he was not an opponent of Colliers, if he didn't comply, there was only a dead end. So he immediately issued a death order to the mountain bandit brothers, and made every effort to arrest Lenu, and not to harm Lenu, but to live. Otherwise, no matter who or that link goes wrong, they will be punished by death and beheaded, and the corpse will fall to the ground.

This is also one of the reasons why Thin Prison Shou chose to steal the third master's antidote and help Li Bai. In addition, he wanted to borrow Li Bai's hand to avenge his eldest brother Fat Guard.

They're all smart people!

Now Li Ke said that he was going to take away Lenu, which frightened the mountain bandit brothers, and they trembled with fear. After all, this is a matter of life and death, and the lives of hundreds of brothers in Ling'er Mountain are all tied to Le Nu alone.

"Seventh brother!" One-eyed Mountain Bandit Xing San: "Don't blame the third brother for being ruthless, this matter is really not trivial!" If we don't hand over Miss Lenu, then all the brothers in Ling'er Mountain will really suffer, and you should understand the plight of the brothers. ”

"Yes, Seventh Brother!" Scar Mountain Bandit Xing II: "It's not that my brothers don't want to help you, it's really that Grandpa Gao is too powerful, I don't dare to be his enemy." If you really offend him, then the little life of the brothers will have to fall into the hands of Lord Yama! So seventh brother, even if the eldest brother agrees to this matter, a few of us who are elder brothers will never agree! ”

"Brothers!" Li Ke bowed his hand and said, "Brother, I know that your brothers are in difficulty, so these days, after discussing with my wife, I have come up with a way that is not a solution, maybe we can resolve the crisis here!" ”

"Seventh brother!" One-Eye: "What's not the solution?" Tell everyone about it! ”

"Third brother! It's not a solution, it's actually quite simple! Li Ke paused and said, "That is, please all the brothers and brothers leave this Ling'er Mountain!" ”

"Leaving Ling'er Mountain?" Scar: "Seventh brother, what kind of joke are you making again?" The brothers are carrying several lives, if they leave Ling'er Mountain, then the brothers will have to be arrested by the court! ”

"Yes, Seventh Brother!" One-eyed: "The second brother is right! Don't you know what we're doing? The lives of the people in my brother's hands are uneven, and they are at least more than ten or hundred. If you can really leave Ling'er Mountain, how can you escape the pursuit of Grandpa Gao? ”

"What the third brother said is yes!" Scar: "Seventh brother! Our Ling'er Mountain brothers have added up to more than 300 people, and I am afraid that before we can get out of Sichuan and Shu, we will already be suppressed by the imperial court! ”

"Second brother! Third brother! Li Ke bowed his hand: "Brother, I have a wonderful way to let your brothers and the brothers of Ling'er Mountain leave Ling'er Mountain safely!" ”

"How?"

"Easy!" Li Ke: "Just kill the eldest brother!" ”
