Chapter 549: Wen and Li join forces
"You're no match for him." Wen Man shook his head, "Huaiyan, don't look at you being more than twenty years older than Qin Wang, don't be unconvinced, you are not his opponent." Your life is too smooth, although you have some ability, but it is far from enough. Qin Forget is different, even now, he is still struggling on the line of life and death, as long as such a person can live, he is a far-sighted and meticulous person, he is a cunning wolf, and you are just a not very qualified hunter. β
Seeing that Wen Huaiyan still looked disapproving, Wen Man was slightly angry, "Just talk about this matter, you are simply stupid." Why didn't you shut up Wen Dahua's waste in the first place? And why did he let Huaizhong go to his sister? β
Father was angry. Stealing and selling weapons has always been done secretly by Huaizhong, the child is not clear, so he is slow to react, as for Huaizhong to beg the queen, there is no way at all, otherwise, Huaizhong will die. Seeing that her father was angry, Wen Huaiyan quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, but she was still unconvinced.
"You're still not convinced?" Wen Man slapped the table, "I don't know what Huaizhong is doing, should this be said from you, the future successor of the Wen family?" You are almost forty years old, there are still things you don't know about the Wen family, how can you let your father trust the Wen family to you? β
Seeing that the old man was really angry, Wen Huaiyan didn't dare to say more than half a word, and kept kowtowing to admit his mistake.
"What makes my father angry the most is that you actually asked Huaizhong to find his sister, stupid, simply stupid. In addition to the army, the most important thing for our Wen family is your second sister, the queen, and we must not let anyone let her fall out of favor. Your Majesty let Huaizhong go for the sake of her face, and for the sake of the prince's face, but do you know that Your Majesty was furious about this and reprimanded your second sister fiercely. If the queen and His Majesty have a dislike for this matter, can you afford this responsibility? Seeing the attitude of his favorite son admitting his mistakes, most of the anger in Wen Man's heart disappeared, "You have to remember that if you want to be the head of the family, you have to be ruthless." If he dealt with this matter for his father this time, he would definitely sacrifice his loyalty for his father. It's not for the father's heart, in the face of family interests, anyone can sacrifice and must sacrifice, it's a big deal to get back face in the future. β
Wen Huaiyan was shocked, cold sweat poured down, he realized how stupid he was doing, he almost picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon, except for kneeling on the ground to make amends, he couldn't say a word.
"Okay, get up, this time I have to join forces with Li Chengan's old horseman. Hey, since that Qin Forget appeared, his father seems to have gotten a lot closer to Li Chengan, this kid is really a character. After saying so much, Wen Man was also tired, and with a wave of his big hand, he let Wen Huaiyan go down.
As soon as he walked out of the palace hall, Wen Man's face instantly became gloomy.
Because of Wen Dahua's matter, he was reprimanded by Cao Ziwen and sneered, and the smugness and ridicule on Yu Zheng's face almost made him angry. What he cared about the most was the gaze of his colleagues, a very small matter, Wen Man clearly saw from the eyes of the civil and military officials that they doubted the strength of the Wen family. Especially those officials who came from poor families and had to belong to the Wen family, their eyes flickered, as if they were hesitating to rejoin the team.
Wen Man knows why this is happening, it's very simple, the Wen family was slapped in the face, and there is no excuse to fight back, this dumb person has to eat if he doesn't eat. For many years, the Wen family has not been humiliated like this, and Wen Man secretly hates it in his heart, and he must return it.
"Yo, Wen Xiang, my face is not very good. Isn't it that you are tired from a long journey during this time? As soon as he walked to the imperial steps in front of the main hall, a voice suddenly sounded.
Wen Manchu
Looking at it, it was Li Chengan who spoke, looking at him with a smile. He was stunned in his heart, the two were mortal enemies, and he hadn't spoken so kindly in front of the public for many years, and he didn't understand what Li Chengan was making trouble about for a while. However, if he quickly figured it out, Li Chengan deliberately wanted to convey a signal to the civil and military officials, especially His Majesty, that the Wen and Li families could fight for interests or threaten to unite.
Thinking about this, he looked to the side, and sure enough, he found that the ministers around him were looking at the two of them with complicated eyes, and he was also happy to give Cao Ziwen a warning, and he also walked over with a smile on his face, "The years are unforgiving, it's only fifty or sixty miles away, and it almost broke up my old bones." β
"Haha, Wen Xiang is busy with official business, and he has to protect his body a lot." Li Cheng'an laughed and said, "Zishi, old place." His smile remained unchanged, and he whispered without any unusual appearance.
"Li Xiang too, at this age, the body is the most important, take care." Wen Man heard Li Cheng'an's words, his smile remained unchanged, and he strode away.
Seeing such a situation, Qin Wang's face after the crowd remained unchanged, is he finally going to join forces? It's really an honor to let Wen and Li join forces.
"You Chen, you dare to threaten Your Majesty." Looking at the coy appearance of the two, Yu Zheng snorted coldly and gritted his teeth.
Qin Forget smiled slightly, "Lord Yu, the last general can make a bet with you, if you have five hundred elite soldiers, and then find them, you can eradicate these two ministers in one fell swoop, do you believe it or not?" β
Qin Forget calculated that Wen and Li would meet tonight, so he said so.
How did Yu Zheng know what he meant? After listening to his words, he looked at him with a stunned face.
Qin Forget didn't explain, and walked away with a smile.
There is a century-old shop in the depths of an alley in Wuyi Lane, with a very small faΓ§ade and no signboard, so ordinary customers who are not familiar customers cannot find it here.
This shop only sells beef, and only five-spiced ones. But I don't know what secret recipe the boss used, the beef is not hard or soft, and the taste is good. If you are far away, you can smell the fragrance and make your mouth full of relish. Cut a plate without being thin or thick, and then with the best bamboo leaves, the taste is simply unforgettable.
It is supposed that such a shop should be full, but because it is so remote, there are few people to come. Especially now that it is the time of the child, there is only one old man guarding a withered lamp, eating beef and drinking, and he is very happy, it is Wenman.
"Lao Wen, you came early enough. I haven't been to this shop for ten years, and it's still the same. As soon as Wen Man chewed and ate three slices of meat slowly, Li Chengan stepped on the point and came as promised.
"You're still old-tempered, and you have to fight to win or lose everything." After waiting for Li Cheng'an's time for a pillar of incense, Wen Man was not angry, and took out a silk handkerchief and said while wiping his hands.
"Haha, we've known each other for decades, and you still don't know what my temper is." Li Cheng'an sat down and said with a smile.
If people see this scene, they will be surprised, listening to this meaning, Wen and Li, who are fighting for life and death, seem to have a good relationship.
At this moment, there was a sound of "tuk tuk", and a lame man came over with a cane in one hand and a tray in the other.
"Lao Wang, I haven't seen you for ten years, and you are still so virtuous. Don't say hello when you see an old friend? Seeing the lame man coming over, Li Chengan greeted with a smile.
Seeing Li Chengan, the lame man had no expression in his eyes, put down a plate of beef and a pot of wine, turned his face and left. I don't know
What kind of person is he, he actually doesn't give face to the dignified Yan Zuoxiang.
"Well, it still tastes like this." Li Chengan picked up a piece of beef, smelled it with a satisfied expression, and put it in his mouth to eat. "What, that's enough?" He saw that Wen Mandu began to wipe his hands, and asked.
"I don't want you, you look like Sven, in fact, you're a martial artist." Very particular about rinsing his mouth with bamboo leaves, Wen Man said disdainfully.
He was right, these two people are completely opposite in personality and appearance. Wen Man looks rough and haughty, but in fact he is a scholar, and he is very gentle in his bones. Li Chengan is very gentle, but he is both civil and military, his hands are not weak, and he is much more arrogant.
Li Cheng'an laughed and drank a pot of bamboo leaves, wiped his mouth, "In the end, when you are old, you won't digest it if you eat something at night, so it's better to eat less." β
"Yes, we are all old, and now it is the world of young people, when it comes to young people, we have one in Dayan, which is really amazing."
"Qin Forget?"
"Yes, you suffocated in his hands, don't you think he's hard to deal with?"
Hearing Wen Man say this, Li Chengan put away his cynical expression and became serious, "It's a character, at least among the younger generations of our two families, no one is his opponent." β
"I think so too, and in the matter of my Wen family, I think there may also be a shadow of Qin Wang." Wen Man nodded and said.
"It's not possible, it's certain." Li Chengan affirmed, "I have fought him several times, and this son is indeed a difficult character to deal with." What is rare is that he has far-sighted vision, which is like a boy who is not yet twenty, he is simply an old fox. β
"So, I asked you out this time just to discuss with you how to get rid of this kid. Not to mention slapping my Wen family in the face this time, what is even more terrible is that if you don't leave him in Youzhou, it will be difficult to deal with him again. β
"It's really funny, our brothers haven't worked together for more than ten years, and this cooperation is actually to deal with a doll, it's ridiculous." Li Chengan laughed at himself, "It's not easy to deal with him?" I know that you have a lot of masters in your house, so just send one or two. β
"What are you kidding, if it were that simple, I would have used it a long time ago." Wen Man glared at him dissatisfiedly, "After receiving the information, Qin Wang's five thousand sailors are stationed on Black Mountain Island, if something happens to him, there will be no peace on the Dayan coast." More importantly, what about the tea horse market? His diehards haven't turned the world upside down? β
"You are always so greedy, that is, you want other people's lives and other people's wealth." Li Chengan scolded with a smile, "Actually, it's easy to deal with him, didn't the Dongying people find you?" You let the sailors of the Dongying Kingdom do their best to defeat the sailors who defeated Qin Wang. I also asked the Khitan North Courtyard to send troops to completely wipe out the Khitan South Courtyard that cooperated with Qin Wang, and then go south to defeat Qin Wang's forces. β
"Haha, the hero sees the same thing, I have already asked the Dongying people to send troops, as long as Qin Wang's forces are completely defeated, I see how arrogant he is." Wen Man said proudly.
"Don't be complacent yet, Qin Wang's army is not weak." Li Chengan smiled coldly, "And we only have a few months, once the tea and horse market arrives, if we haven't completely uprooted his power, then we will lose." β
"It's a pity, let's be afraid of the people's mouths of the world, otherwise you and I will join forces, and the little Akagi will be a little bigger." Wen Man said regretfully.
"It's not easy for us to make a move, isn't it just right for someone?" Li Chengan looked at Wen Man and said meaningfully.
"Who?"
