Chapter Twenty-Seven: Plotting
"Lord Garrison, you are so affectionate, Li Xiaocheng is sincerely afraid, but he is used to staying in the sentry cavalry team, and he really has no idea of changing to the deputy team of the adult family. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Xiao finally stood up and solemnly apologized to Wang Daoqi, who was stunned.
"You 。。。。。。"
Wang Daoqi drank half of the tea in one sip, almost choked, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Li Xiao with an apologetic face in a daze, and for a while, he didn't know how to reply.
Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the family who had not spoken all the time, looked relieved on his face.
"Li Xiao, you have to think clearly, this official will give you a sunny path and not go, but you have to go off this single-plank bridge, don't regret it in the future! Could it be that you really didn't think about your future? Wang Daoqi still didn't give up, and there was a little more threat in his words.
After thinking about it clearly, Li was deeply favored by the high commander and could not be easily betrayed. Although the situation of the Sentinels is very difficult now, it may not be without change in the future. Li Xiao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Okay, Li Xiao, since you have said so, the official will not say much. I'd like to see what you can do in this sentry team! ”
Wang Daoqi, whose face was full of anger, stood up hatefully, turned around and walked out of the house.
Ren Guangyuan glanced at Li Xiao with complicated eyes, and hurriedly followed.
"Congratulations to the garrison." Li Xiao bowed behind the two.
He was answered with a heavy slamming of the door.
Li Xiao looked out the window, his face was cold and lonely, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Humph! This Li Xiao, this official is a guard, and he personally came to dig him up as my deputy team, this person is so ignorant, but he is hateful! Wang Daoqi traveled far and couldn't help but scold.
"My lord, then Li Xiao doesn't know the kindness of the adult's promotion, and he insists on not complying, and he really doesn't know how to promote." Ren Guangyuan also sighed.
"Then Li Xiao, I can't help but think too highly of his own martial arts, he is in this Jinzhou land, he has no connections and no relationship, just by force, he wants to get ahead, isn't it a joke." Wang Daoqi still hated and scolded.
"My lord, you give him a road to heaven without walking, but you want to roll mud in this mud pit, or that Li Xiao has no eyesight," Ren Guangyuan echoed continuously, but his face was relaxed.
After Wang Daoqi and Ren Guangyuan returned to the mansion, a sergeant suddenly came to report that Zhang Degui, the shopkeeper of Jinzhou City's Daguang Cloth Company, asked to see him.
Wang Daoqi's face changed suddenly, he turned Ren Guangyuan away, and hurriedly asked the sergeant to bring Zhang Degui in, and enter a secret room to sit down.
When the two saw each other, they bowed their hands, but their eyes were full of mutual tacit understanding.
Zhang Degui entered the room, and after the guests sat down, a sergeant came up to offer tea.
After the sergeant offered tea, he immediately closed the door and left, and there were only Zhang Degui and Wang Daoqi in the room.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhang Degui took a sip of tea, glanced around, and said to Wang Daoqi in a low voice: "Lord Wang, how did you do the matter of wooing Li Xiao?" Master Fan, you can wait for a reply. ”
The Fan that Zhang Degui said is Fan Wencheng, a scholar of Wenguan University in Houjin.
On the same day, after Fan Wencheng received Huang Taiji's request to investigate Li Xiao's origins, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately contacted Zhang Degui, a fine worker he had placed in western Liaoning, to inquire about the news.
This is expensive, on the surface is the shopkeeper of the Daguang cloth line, but has been secretly doing some illegal business activities to smuggle Houjin, because he is shrewd, and he is a skilled person, he soon attracted the attention of Houjin, and Fan Wencheng, who managed the meticulous work, came forward, and after several wooings, he became a spy placed by Houjin in Liaoxi.
Zhang Degui, who eats both ends of the Ming and Jin, immediately learned that this person is Li Xiao, the sentry hero who is now famous in Jinzhou and killed the Tartars.
After understanding the situation, Zhang Degui sighed in his heart, Li Xiao, a rural hunter in Jinzhou, had a conflict with his subordinates at the Jinhua Restaurant in Jinzhou City not long ago, but fortunately, he was properly adjusted and did not cause a killing accident. But he didn't expect that he was white at the time, but now he has been promoted to 100 households, and he is suspended as a hundred presidents, but his promotion is rapid.
Now that this person is so valued by Houjin, he actually sent Fan Wencheng, a scholar of Wenguan University who was highly valued by Huang Taiji, to personally investigate and understand the situation.
Zhang Degui did not dare to slack off, and then immediately reported Li Xiao's news to Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng was amazed by Li Xiao's life experience and martial arts, and then sent him to be responsible for bringing Li Xiao over, and promised him to be a high-ranking official, so as to make Li Xiao a capable officer of Dajin.
After careful consideration, Zhang Degui decided to use the garrison of Guangning Zhongtun Station as a breakthrough.
Because a large part of Wang Daoqi's family business is also an unsightly smuggling activity against Houjin, and most of them follow the line of Zhang Degui, so the two are quite familiar with each other.
After Li Xiao was officially promoted, Zhang Degui secretly made an appointment with Wang Daoqi and proposed to him that he help win over Li Xiao, and finally let Li Xiao take refuge in Houjin.
Wang Daoqi was quickly moved by Zhang Degui's heavy gift and agreed. The two then made a plan, first let Wang Daoqi lure Li Xiao to become the vice captain of his family, wait for Li Xiao to bite the hook, and then slowly pull him into the water, and finally force him into the arms of Hou Jin.
originally thought that Li Xiao would bite the hook, but he didn't expect this person to immediately reject him, which made Wang Daoqi angry and frustrated.
Seeing Zhang Degui's inquiring gaze, Wang Daoqi couldn't help but feel annoyed again, he snorted coldly and said: "This official just came back from this person's place, and I thought that such favorable conditions could win him over for my use, but I didn't expect this person to be like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and he actually rejected a piece of kindness from this official on the spot, which is really hateful. ”
"Oh, it's like this, I can't imagine that this Li Xiao is so difficult to move." Zhang Degui frowned.
"No, the official saw that he was blinded by that Gao Pushi's confusion, so he was so willing to stay in the sentry cavalry. Alas, you say, this Lord Fan is really, but he is determined to win over such a dead-eyed person, but why bother. Wang Daoqi glanced at Zhang Degui, and his tone was quite impatient.
"This 。。。。。。 is also a person who runs errands, and he dares to talk more. Master Fan has always said to the little one, saying that it is rare to say that talents need to be so wooed, and he made this request, and he can only do it. After all, our business has to be taken care of by Lord Fan, right? Zhang Degui's voice lowered.
"Eating people has a short mouth, and taking people is soft. My Wang family wants to make the business bigger, and it can't be done without Lord Fan taking care of and supporting it over there. It's just that in the current plan, Li Xiao refuses to be tricked, but the official has no plan. Wang Daoqi's face was gloomy and he let out a long sigh.
"Hehe, the Lord touched a nail at Li Xiao's place, but it was also expected by Lord Fan. There is a way to toast and not eat and drink, this Li Xiao, maybe let him suffer a little. Zhang Degui laughed softly.
"Shopkeeper Zhang means 。。。。。"
"With all due respect, that Li Xiao, who was promoted and rewarded like this, was very proud and arrogant. Hmph, now, we need to give him a head start, so that he can understand the situation well! Zhang Degui's words were cold.
"Shopkeeper, but please elaborate."
"Lord Wang, I heard that there are many abandoned dungeon forts near Jinzhou, so you might as well issue a military order, and say that in order to strengthen the security protection of the Zhongtun Station, the sentry cavalry team will be sent to the dungeon fort to garrison. Those dungeon forts are located in a remote area and difficult to live in, and after Li Xiao and others lead the troops to garrison, they will definitely have a miserable life. Then the lord stopped his supply of money and food for various reasons, so that Li Xiao would definitely be unsustainable, and his soldiers would also make trouble. In such a helpless situation, Li Xiao can be said to be desperate. At this time, the adults took advantage of the situation to care for the storage, then Li Xiao, I was afraid that he would be grateful to the adults, and there was nothing to say. ”
After Zhang Degui finished speaking, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he took a sip of tea.
"Shopkeeper Zhang's plan is very good!" Wang Daoqi's eyes flashed brightly, he stood up on the ground, and a cruel expression appeared on his face: "Li Xiao, Li Xiao, if you want to find hardships for yourself, then this official will have to fulfill you." ”
