Chapter 3: Morning Dew (9 I)

Wang Deren is also a person who has been rolling on the head of a knife for many years, and intuitively finds himself in danger. Quickly snorted, and added with a dry smile: "It would be great if that was the case." Your brothers and sisters take care of each other, and it won't be long before Liyangcang falls into the hands of our Wagang Army! ”

Li Mi is also a vigilant person, and found that Wang Deren's words were far-fetched, and immediately realized his gaffe. smiled and shook his head, and pretended to be calm: "That's good." Our Wagang Army has added another general with both wisdom and bravery. It's a pity that the whereabouts of the family teacher have been erratic in recent years, and I, a closed disciple, can't find a chance to do my filial piety. If there is no evidence, how can it be good to go to Juluze to recognize each other? ”

"Oh" Wang Deren slowly paced a few steps, brushing his beard in his hand. "Since Mi Gong is a closed disciple, presumably the rumors in the rivers and lakes are false. Alas! These guys who may not have ass eyes have caused me to rejoice for my secret father! ”

"It's not exactly for nothing!" In the blink of an eye, the tone and tone of Li Mi's speech had returned to normal. He smiled and said with a bit of encouragement: "It can be seen that Naruhito really regards Wagang Mountain as his home. It's not like some people who always think of this place as a ferry, always trying to find a pleasant place to go down. ”

"Thanks to the secret prince who can afford Wang, how dare Wang not serve his death?" Wang Deren's face was slightly red when he was praised, and he smiled and humbled himself, "It's just that Wang's facts are limited, and he can't do more for our Wagang." Otherwise, he would definitely rush down the mountain, slaughter the old thief Zhang Xutuo, and help the brothers give the evil breath in front of them first? ”

"There's no rush either. The Sui room will tilt, even if Zhang Xutuo is capable, he is just a single tree that supports the beams? Li Mi shrugged his shoulders and commented in a crepe-like manner. As long as I stand in a group, I will fight to the death. Over time, the rise and fall of the other, the offense and defense are bound to be different! ”

These two sentences are too elegant, and Wang Deren can't understand them. Blinking his triangular eyes, he responded with a dry smile, "Well, that makes sense." In the end, it is Mi Gong, and I will get to the point in a few words, there are many things that I can't think through, and Mi Gong flicked his hand, and it was like pushing away the dark clouds......"

"Haha, haha!" Li Mi was amused and laughed, "When will Naruhito learn to pat on the back too?" Got so many nice things to coax me. Li just couldn't bear to see the people of the world suffering from tyranny, and reluctantly wanted to fight. If the four seas are clear, Li is happy to pick chrysanthemums under the east fence and live a few days of good travel! ”

Under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan quietly. If Wang Deren had read it, he would have understood the allusions cited by Li Mi. will also be moved by the other party's lofty ambition and weak utilitarianism. It's a pity that Wang Deren is an old man, and the three words in his name and surname can only be recognized, and the remaining two are barely readable when combined together, and the eldest brother doesn't know the second brother after disassembling it. So he couldn't pick up the conversation, just blinked his eyes and said in a daze: "Picking chrysanthemums, does Mi Gong like chrysanthemums very much?" Xu Sanye's house planted a large area. Just drove it and it looks beautiful. But that thing is too drug-like, and I have a headache when I smell it. However, I heard that the tea is very good, you can see it, and you can ...... fire."

"If you make it into a pillow, you can also cure insomnia!" Li Mi found that he had played all the mountains and rivers to the yak cow, and interrupted with tears and laughter. "Let's not mention chrysanthemums, I will have time next year, and I will plant a few trees in front of the house and behind the house. By the way, who did you hear that Cheng Mingzhen is my junior brother? Is this reliable? ”

The topic finally turned to Cheng Mingzhen again, Wang Deren pondered slightly, and carefully explained: "It's also a coincidence, I have a minion under my command, who used to be an errand runner in Guantao County." Zhang Jin said that when he broke the pottery, he saw the opportunity quickly and hid in the middle of the pile of dead people to save a small life. According to his own words, the Zhou family originally bought off the cell boss and was ready to do it secretly by Cheng Mingzhen. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a blind man surnamed Duan in the prison! ”

"Isn't that blind man also a prisoner? How can you have such a big face? Without waiting for Wang Deren to finish speaking, Li Mi frowned and interjected.

"Yes, that's what my subordinates asked?" Wang Deren secretly looked at Li Mi's face and replied foolishly. "If Cheng Mingzhen dies in prison, won't Guantao County be saved? As a result, the little guy said that Duan Blind is a famous god who not only has an iron mouth and steel teeth, but also is sure to be right when he says it. And it can point out the way for everyone to get rich, saying where there is a treasure to dig, everyone will do it, and you will definitely be able to dig out something! ”

"Greedy for ill-gotten gains, damn it!" Li Mi sneered and ridiculed hatefully. ()

The subordinates said the same. But who are those officials, how can you have such a knowledge. They coveted a way to make a fortune from Duan Tiezui's side, so they let Cheng Mingzhen go. Later, in order to repay Duan Tiezui's kindness, Cheng Mingzhen worshipped his old man as a master. Later, the pavilion Tao City was broken, and Cheng Mingzhen became the master of Julu Zejiu. Duan Blind did not follow Cheng Mingzhen to enjoy Qingfu, but took a step ahead and disappeared like a ghost before Zhang Jincheng entered the city. At this time, the surviving officials realized that Duan Blind was a master of the world. Then I asked around, and I heard that those treasures were the legendary ......king of the Green Forest Road."

"Hearsay, how can it be taken seriously!" Before Wang Deren could make his words clear, Li Mi interrupted very disdainfully. "Before washing his hands, the family teacher took it as his responsibility to overthrow the Great Sui and save the people of Li from fire and water. Even if there were, there were such old brothers around him at that time, one by one, and they had already been carved up, which round was remembered by others? Alas, these people just like to do things that catch the wind and shadows, always thinking that they will make a fortune one day. But he didn't weigh his identity, he really made a fortune, did he have that life to enjoy? ”

"Mi Gong has a point, Mi Gong has a point!" Wang Deren continued to nod his head, agreeing with Li Mi's words like a chicken pecking rice. "I originally thought that if I really had this money, I would just pay for the Wagang Army after I got up. Now think about it, if the rumors are true, how many people have been thinking about it day and night for so many years, how can it fall into our hands again? ”

Naruhito was right. The rise of our Wagang Army is the destiny of heaven and the expectation of the people, and if there is a lack of money, it can naturally be taken from the treasury of the imperial court, and there is no need to put some cumbersome things on the cake. Otherwise, it will inevitably make the heroes of the world laugh at our stinginess! Li Mi reached out and patted Wang Deren on the shoulder, smiling and encouraging.

Although he didn't use much strength, Wang Deren was stumbled. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other for a few breaths before laughing at the same time. "Look at my bones, it's really cheap, let Mi Gong shoot it, and you won't be able to find the north immediately!" Wang Deren regained his footing at a safe distance, laughing at himself.

"Naruhito must have been overworked lately, so he lost his roots!" Li Mi took half a step back, using laughter and words of concern to resolve the embarrassment in front of him.

In fact, the two of them both knew in their hearts that they had a little bit of a backhand with each other for what they said just now. But with the cleverness of the two, they both carefully kept the last layer of window paper, and no one rushed to pierce it first. Because that would not do any good to both parties, it would only cheapen the irrelevant guys for nothing.

"How is Mi Gong's injury healing, do you need my help to get some in-demand medicinal herbs?" After laughing, Wang Deren suddenly remembered and asked with concern.

"It's already a matter of thought. It's just that I've seen the wind again recently, and the wound is a little swollen.! Li Mi waved his hand and replied very politely.

"Then I'll go find some herbs to reduce swelling and stasis!" Wang Deren put down the next sentence and immediately prepared to put it into action.

Li Mi saw that the other party was going to take the opportunity to slip away, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "Don't bother Deren, I have all the medicinal materials on my side." This friendship of yours, Li will always remember in his heart! ”

Wang Deren looked outside and noticed that there was no unusual movement nearby. He stopped with a smile and said in a low voice, "Does the secret prince have any other orders?" I've been up the mountain for a while, and if I don't go back, the brothers will inevitably be foolish! ”

Li Mi paused again, smashing the taste in his words to deal with it, "It's nothing." It's been a long time since I've seen Naruhito, and I always want to talk more! ”

Since the Wagang Army was defeated by Zhang Xutuo under the command of Li Mi a few months ago, the mysterious aura on his body has been greatly weakened. In particular, the Wagang Inner Battalion headed by Cheng Yanjin, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Maogong and others, that is, the soldiers and horses of the original Banwagang, was very dissatisfied with his blind expansion and brought in a large number of heroes from the three mountains and five mountains, which seemed to be majestic, but in fact weakened the strength of the Wagang army. In private, he always does his own thing, and disobeys the orders of his second master.

At this critical moment of fighting for the leadership of Wagang Village, Li Mi did not dare to lose the support of Wang Deren and other village owners who came to Wagang again. These green forest heroes have limited skills and knowledge, but they can't stand the crowd. With them firmly in their hands, they can force Xu Maogong and others not to dare to act rashly in order to take care of the overall situation of Wagang Mountain.

For Wang Deren and others, Li Mi is also a banner that cannot be discarded. Only when Li Mi is here, can everyone unite and fight against the Wagang Inner Battalion headed by Xu Maogong, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin and others. Otherwise, the Wagang Inner Battalion, which is strictly disciplined and whose combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Great Sui Officers and Army, will not look at them as outsiders at all. If you want to reorganize, you will reorganize, and if you want to split up, you will split, saying that it is for the sake of everyone's future, but in fact, everyone has become a tree without roots, and sooner or later someone will be taken away.

Although they are inseparable from each other, Wang Deren at this moment is obviously no longer Wang Deren, who just led his subordinates to take refuge. At that time, he was moved by Fang Yanzao's words and firmly believed that Li Mi was the next lord of the Central Plains. After Li Mi, he became the founding father of the country, and from then on he could get rid of the notoriety of bandits and enjoy endless glory and wealth for future generations. But today, those unrealistic fanatical ideas have gradually been shattered by reality. Wang Deren slowly discovered that the so-called mandate of heaven requires countless lives to be piled up. Li Mi may be the true son of heaven in the future, and it is possible to sit in the north and face the south, and be called a lonely widow. And I can't see that day, and I will become a stepping stone for others to climb to a high position.

He is unwilling to be used like this, and when the use value is squeezed out, it is thrown away like a rag. But for a while, he could not find a way to get out, and he could not completely take away the money and brothers that he had brought to Wagang Mountain. This kind of loss-making business kept him awake at night, so he took the opportunity of inquiring about the relationship between Cheng Mingzhen and Li Mi to ask for directions, to see if it was possible to get a piece of the legendary treasure and somehow recover some of the losses after defecting to the Wagang army.

Both the guest and the host have ghosts in their hearts, and the next conversation is naturally extremely bland. After chatting a lot of useless gossip, Li Mi cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Naruhito, there are some absurd rumors, you and I can just listen to them, don't ...... them."

"Mi Gong rest assured!" Wang Deren hurriedly interrupted, "Don't you know who I am?" Nothing to worry about! Listen to someone talk about it today, and forget it tomorrow. However...... "He smashed the tea foam in his mouth, still unfinished," that Cheng Xiaojiu is really a talent. That day, more than 200 steps away, an arrow could shoot through the eye of money. ”

Cheng Mingzhen shot arrows and divination in public, so that Fang Yanzao could not come to the stage, Li Mi had already heard the report. Although the money used as a target is far larger than that of ordinary copper coins, Cheng Mingzhen also used special light arrows at that time, although the range is long, it is useless in actual combat. But after all, the words he said when he shot arrows were too demagogic. If it is not handled carefully, it may be a great hidden danger in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Mi frowned slightly, "I know that he is the Great Sui General, and he has practiced a good skill since he was a child. But ......"

"Mi Gong misunderstood what I meant!" Wang Deren noticed the vigilance in Li Mi's words, and immediately explained loudly: "What I mean is actually that if he can come to Wagang, he can help us a lot." I've heard people say that he hasn't been dealing well with Zhang Jin recently. If we send someone who can talk to us, maybe ......"

"I know, that guy recently fell out with Zhang Jincheng!" Li Mi thought about it for a moment and cut off with certainty. When the words fell, he immediately realized that what he said was a little contradictory to the ** in front of him, and explained with a smile: "Hey, don't I have nothing to do when I'm sick, so I asked Yanzao to tell me what happened outside every day." What's going on between Cheng Mingzhen and Zhang Jincheng, have you heard? ”

"I've only heard a little bit about it, and I don't know if it's true or not!." Wang Deren snickered in his heart, but he had to play with Li Mi, "Mi Gong is concerned about all the major events in the world, like me, he likes to inquire about some miscellaneous gossip." I heard that Zhang Jin said that this time he sent troops and robbed the whole county of Qinghe, but he didn't take Cheng Mingzhen with him. But half a year ago, the two of them weren't like this. At that time, Zhang Jin said that he couldn't wait to hold Cheng Mingzhen in the palm of his hand, and he would only do it after discussing everything with the surname Cheng! ”

"Hmm!" Li Mi groaned in a low voice and made a thinking look, "It may also be that Zhang Jin said that he kept him to take care of the house, alas, this matter thousands of miles away has changed its flavor when it is passed around, who knows which sentence is true!." ”

"It's Xue Lao Er who takes care of the house!" Wang Deren couldn't get around Li Mi, so he had to clear the fog as soon as possible. And Cheng Mingzhen's banner did not have the word "Zhang", but the word "Zhaozhou"! ”

"That must be the wings are stiff, ready to stand on their own!" Li Mi nodded in a deep groan, but his eyes gradually brightened in the deep groan. Long before Wang Deren came, he and his henchmen were discussing the topic of the Zhaozhou Army. Judging from the current situation, as long as the Zhaozhou army moves slightly to the south, it can once again threaten Liyangcang. And Liyang Cang is a grain powerhouse, once threatened, the imperial court will inevitably react. At that time, Zhang Xutuo, who was closest to Liyang, would definitely be ordered to cross the river to the north, and the predicament faced by the Wagang army would be solved immediately.

But if you want to complete this strategic move, Cheng Mingzhen's attitude has to be considered. From the analysis of the information in his hands, Li Mi privately thought that Cheng Mingzhen might really be his little junior brother, and was influenced by that unlucky master, and hated himself to the core. He didn't want to be hated by such a young enemy, and he didn't want to lose the wealth that his master had left behind to arm a large army. is even more unwilling to end up cheapening others with that wealth, and he can't get a penny. But there are some words, even with Fang Yanzao and Wang Bodang, they can't be said too clearly. In Li Mi's own eyes, there is nothing in this world that wealth cannot buy. Everything can be measured in value. Friends won't sell each other for a hundred pieces of meat, and exchange them for a thousand, a thousand, a million, or even a million? The outcome is difficult to predict.

And if this daredevil? Looking at Wang Deren, who was eager to try, Li Mi thought to himself in his heart. This generation certainly has a plan, but it is not worth mentioning in terms of ability and intelligence. Sending him to the fire to pick up chestnuts and enjoy the fruits himself was actually a relatively safe idea. Even if you fail, you have nothing to lose. If you succeed, you can also grab the harvest back at the least cost, and take it as if you already have it.

"Seeing that Zhang Jin's power is getting bigger and bigger!" Just when Li Mi was thinking about it repeatedly, Wang Deren took the initiative to propose again. "The station of the Zhaozhou Army is next to Juluze, and Zhang Jin said that he will definitely not be able to accommodate them in the future. Therefore, Cheng Mingzhen must find a big backer to rely on, and in the name of our Wagang Army and your Pushan Gong......"

It's just sleepy, someone sends a pillow. Li Mi was overjoyed in his heart and interrupted with a smile: "Naruhito's words are exactly what I want. You are familiar with Cheng Mingzhen, and you have stayed in Lin Shushan, and you have some prestige over there. Why don't you run for me? ”

"Willing to serve the secret public!" Wang Deren achieved his goal, and smiled and gave his hand, "But Zhang Xutuo's side ......"

"That's not a problem!" Li Mi waved his hand very confidently, "Zhou Wenju has come back from recruitment, you can let him replace you." I'll go and tell the big boss in a moment, and he'll agree. After all, you are also going for our Wagang Army. ”

Without waiting for Wang Deren to leave, he thought about it for a while, and quickly added: "Let Yanzao and Bodang accompany you, and if you encounter trouble on the way, the two of them can help you come up with ideas." By the way, there is also Wang, that Wang Ermao, isn't he Cheng Mingzhen's old friend? I'll go to Xu Maogong's side to ask him to come over, and the three of you will lead the troops across the river together. I am here waiting for your good news! ”

"No!" Wang Deren agreed loudly. secretly scolded Li Mi for being cunning in his heart, and sent someone to supervise him when he sent himself to do things. The smile on his face became thicker and thicker, as if he had taken a big advantage, and he assured: "Although Mi Gong can rest assured, he can't persuade Cheng Mingzhen to return to Shunwagang, and Wang will never come back to see you!" ”

"You won't have a chance to come back to see me!" Li Mi secretly decided in his heart, and the smile on his face became more and more kind.

"Lao Tzu won't come back to be a stepping stone for you!" Wang Deren also made a plan in his heart, ready to take the opportunity to slip away. Li Mi didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and Wang Bodang and Fang Yanzao brought at most a thousand guards to accompany him. And he himself has 20,000 brothers in his hands, and 20,000 against 1,000, isn't that a piece of cake?

With that in mind, he looked out the window. In the distance, it is a good autumn, and the rivers and mountains are picturesque!
