Chapter 330: The Source of the Spark
Nan Chun is thirty-two years old at Chinese New Year's Eve.
As a member of the former Tielexi Expeditionary Army, as he said, he once fought under Xue Rengui, and he did make meritorious contributions. However, the killing of Tiele and the reduction of 100,000 soldiers not only caused the generals to be reprimanded and erased their merits, but even the merits of a meritorious soldier like him were reduced by several ranks. He was reluctant to return to his hometown to farm, so Xue Rengui managed to find a team at the gate of Dingdingmen. Every time he thought of the situation of braving the arrows on the battlefield to kill the enemy, he couldn't help but feel feverish.
"Hey, I followed General Xue that day, and I watched him shoot an arrow, and two enemies fell to the ground on the other side, killing two ......birds with one stone."
"Jia Tou, you've told this story three times, can't you change it to a fresh one?"
Jia Nanchun, who was talking eloquently, didn't expect to be interrupted coldly, and suddenly glared at the corner in annoyance. However, he is usually fierce, and the so-called whipping is just talk, so over time, the sergeants up and down are not afraid of him. At this time, as soon as someone was clamoring, others immediately interjected. In the end, someone asked Jia Nanchun to take out the fan that Li Xian gave him last time to take a look.
Jia Nanchun was unhappy: "Go and go, that's a baby, I have long been hiding at home, how can I take it with me!" ”
A sergeant coaxed again: "Jia Tou, don't hide it, I obviously saw you take it out and rub it at noon, take it out and show everyone to look at it twice!" To say that His Royal Highness King Pei is really kind when he speaks, he is not like those sons of the earth family with eyes on the top of their heads! ”
"That's King Pei. Where can those sons who don't know the height of the sky be able to compare? ”
Jia Nanchun muttered, and then carefully took out the fan from the placket, but only opened it slightly and shook it in front of everyone, and immediately put it away before others could see it clearly, and regardless of the regretful sighs around him, he stretched his waist and stood up.
"Okay, I've seen enough, hurry up, it's about to change shifts outside! At this time, there are many people who come and go to Luoyang and Chang'an. Dingdingmen is the main way, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise everyone will be unlucky together! ”
So, reluctant to reluctant, the sergeants still patted their butts and got up, preparing for the upcoming shift change. However, the password for the shift change did not wait. But a person rushed in from outside, and before he could stand firmly, he shouted, "It's terrible, outside...... Outside......"
Jia Nanchun scolded angrily: "What's so tense, is the sky falling or the ground collapsing, it can't be Your Majesty and Niangniang's car driving outside, right?" ”
"Ahem, Jia Tou, although it is not Your Majesty and Niangniang. But also ...... It's pretty much it! The sergeant was so relieved that he hurriedly said, "It's His Royal Highness King Pei who has come down, and no one outside knows him, and I happened to see him once that day, so ...... cough, anyway, he named you to find Jia Tou, so I brought someone here! ”
As soon as the words were finished. There was one more person at the door, and he walked in with a grin.
Jia Nanchun was really stunned at this moment, although he often showed off to his colleagues with Li Xiandi's fan, but in his heart, he knew that this was just a chance encounter, maybe people forgot about it in a blink of an eye after seeing him. However, at this moment. This person in front of him is not Pei Wang Li Xian, who else?
Jia Nanchun was stunned. The group of sergeants behind him looked at each other for a moment. They were all curious. However, when he saw his boss react, he waved at them again and again. A group of people had to leave in a huff, still guessing Li Xian's intentions in their hearts. However, no matter what, Li Xian, the king of Pei, shouldn't have something to find a small team!
Li Xian only took two guards from the Wei Chi family at this time, and he had already stayed outside. Sheng Yunwen was sent by him to Cheng's house to report the news, and by the way, he brought the five new guards of the palace to be helpers; Qu Tu Shenruo and Li Yanniang went to King Cao to coerce and lure; In order to avoid the goal being too big, he only asked Li Yanniang for two people. When he was in the carriage just now, he always felt unpleasant, and he still felt as if there were two smiling glances behind him.
"Team Jia is ......"
"Your Highness can just call me by my name!"
Jia Nanchun finally reacted with a spirit, and quickly stopped Li Xian's salutation, and then wanted to invite Li Xian to sit down, but who knew that this master didn't care about these at all.
"You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just looking for you a favor today!"
Li Xian saw his nervous appearance, so he smiled and patted Jia Nanchun on the shoulder twice, of course, this time he changed a sandalwood fan in his hand. Seeing that Jia Nanchun's face was a little relaxed, he repeated the lines that he had discussed with Qu Tushen Ruo and Li Yanniang on the road, which was nothing more than using the incident of fighting the tiger last time as an excuse, faintly hinting that someone was calculating him. As a result, before he finished speaking, Jia Nanchun was like thunder, and immediately slapped his chest and hit the guarantee ticket.
"No wonder I think how can there be any tigers in this place in Luoyang, someone actually ate the bear's heart and the leopard dared to plot against His Highness! Since Your Highness can trust me in such a big thing, I naturally have nothing to say, as long as you give me an order, I will definitely do what I am told! ”
this
A good man! Li Xian plotted in his heart, so he no longer nodded vaguely, and then commanded one by one in Jia Nanchun's ear.
This is what his father ordered him to do, and with his mother's acquiescence, no matter how he tosses it, as long as it is within the control range, it is naturally not a violation. The reason why Jia Nanchun was looking for it was just in case, after all, there were still a group of people under Cheng Chumo who could be used.
Jia Nanchun initially held the momentum of the death of a confidant, but after hearing it, he couldn't help but be disappointed. Just such a trifle? Just watch the city gate and don't let suspicious people out, isn't it his duty? He also thought that he would kill a river of blood, would serve as a strong force for attacking, and would face the danger of firing thousands of arrows, but the result was as simple as that?
Although he was depressed, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, if a suspicious person runs out of Dingdingmen, you will take my head, and I ......"
Li Xian finally saw that this was a tenacious guy, so he quickly interrupted his gambling curse and sweared, and went out after taking care of him again.
When he came to the back door of Cao Wangdi with two guards from the Wei Chi family, he saw that the entire cross alley had been sealed, and it was reported that Cao Wangdi had a snitch. And after he took out the token to reveal his identity, he was immediately respectfully invited into the backyard. And right here, there are more than 100 people lined up neatly, all of them are strong men, and they are not a good match for Cao Wangming's elegance.
"Rokuro!"
Cao Wangming's eyes were sharp, and as soon as he saw Li Xian, he walked up quickly, and pulled him aside: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrest those people today!" If you let one go...... Damn, from now on I won't be surnamed Li! ”
The polite Cao Wangming actually swears, which is really unimaginable, so Li Xian couldn't help but roll his eyes. However, this imperial uncle was in such a state that he needed right now, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, said a lot of messy thanks, and patted his chest and said that after this dispatch, the first incident must be written off.
So, he immediately saw Emperor Taizong's fourteenth prince, and His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle showed a relaxed smile. Of course, he didn't know that Cao Wangming's relationship with the crown prince Li Hong and the king of Zhou, Li Xian, was quite good, and he had a deep fear of blackmailing the king Li Liulang. can solve the remaining problems of the last time at one time, Cao Wangming is naturally no longer happy.
In the autumn afternoon, the sun hangs high in the sky, but it is only slightly hot on the body, not much energy, but the cool breeze blowing from time to time makes people feel a little chilly. Except for Cao Wangming, there are no other dignitaries and nobles living in Ningrenfang, which is close to Dingding Gate, and the people who are often greedy for the convenience of entering the city rent a house temporarily, and wait for the goods to be sold out or the things that should be bought are out of the city, which is cheaper than the Datong shop of the ordinary inn, so there have always been a lot of idle people.
There is a small house in the northeast corner of Ningren Lane, although there are no rich things such as stone lions at the door, it looks neat and tidy, much stronger than ordinary people's houses. There are many people coming in and out of this place all day long, and there are people of all kinds of clothes, and although the neighbors see it, no one asks much. In these years, everyone in their own house swept the snow in front of the door, and they didn't care about the frost on others, and others made other people's money, so there was no reason to meddle with other people's affairs.
On this day, there were only a lot more people coming in and out than in the past, and when the red-faced old man heard about the disturbance in Deyang Building, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't guess what the people disciplined the little uncle had to do with him, so he quickly put the matter away. However, what he didn't expect was that in just an instant, a genus stumbled in and rushed in, saying that it was surrounded by people from all sides.
"What's going on!" The red-faced old man's expression changed suddenly, and he asked sharply, "How could someone pounce here at the good end?" ”
"Yes...... It's someone from King Cao's mansion, and he said...... Say it's catching the snitch! ”
Cao Wang...... Snitch! Even a stupid person knows this excuse, not to mention that this time it was King Cao who came out, and it was obvious that the previous matter had been exposed!
The red-faced old man didn't have time to think about it, and sharply ordered everyone to fight, and he hurried into a room, and after instructing one of the young men for a while, he opened the secret passage and pushed it in, and after a while, he went to another room to see several other black-clothed people, and when he saw that the people had entered another secret passage, he came out as usual.
At this time, there was already a sound of blade clashing outside, which couldn't help but make his face even more gloomy. In broad daylight, the other party actually dared to use weapons to attack, then it shows a fact - behind this matter, there is more than just a Cao Wangming!
He smiled gloomily, with an endless hideous look on his face: "What should come is always coming, but what I should have arranged has already been arranged, and you can't imagine those documents and letters!" There will always be people in this world who can't get used to you Awu, I ignited the spark, and someone will definitely pull you down! ”
