Chapter 45: The Bait and the Big Fish
๏ปฟ
(XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) Tian Hu Yu Dang was killed cleanly, and tortured a certain little minions left, that guy couldn't bear the pain, confessed the hiding place of Tian's father and the god's wife and concubine, Wu Zhi immediately sent someone to take it, of course, it will not be fanfare, after all, Tian Hu's crime is rebellion, and if it is publicized, Tian's father and others will inevitably be affected, but it will break the agreement with Lu Junyi.
A few days ago, Wu Zhibao promoted Lu Junyi as the commander of the left and right chambers of the Beijing Forbidden Army, and the left and right compartments of the Yunyi are the number of the cavalry of the Hebei Forbidden Army, with a total of ten armies, one army has five commands, that is, two thousand five hundred people, Lu Junyi is equal to the second-in-command of these two thousand five hundred people, and the first leader is naturally the commander of the army. It may not be allowed to report to the Privy Council as a vanity.
Now that Lu Junyi is conscientious in the forbidden army, Wu Zhizi can't break his promise, and he can't be the widow of the Tian family, but he just ordered the guards to keep the Tian family under firm surveillance, which is equivalent to house arrest, except that Tian's father is not allowed to go out, the godwife and concubine are still quite free, if they want to remarry, they will not obstruct her, let her go, and they will not reveal the identity of the Tian family, of course, the Tian family themselves will not tell the origin of Tian Hu.
After finishing the work of Tian Huyu Party, Wu Zhi took Shi Xiu and a cadre of guards to Wujiazhuang in a hurry, seeing the autumn harvest season, he couldn't miss the big play, and Qiqiao was clamoring to accompany him, but when he heard that Wu Zhi handed over the heavy responsibility of protecting Jin Lian and the safety of the Wu family to himself, he immediately felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and he promised with a serious face that he must take care of Sister Jin Lian and never live up to the trust of the public.
Wu Zhi rode on the jade lion, letting the jade lion gallop at a gallop, thinking of Jin Lian's Yin Yin whisper. Thousands of tenderness, all kinds of reluctance, the loneliness in the Qiqiao naughty smile, Wu Zhi couldn't help but sigh, when will the days of such a rush end?
Thinking about it, he had arrived at Wujiazhuang, Wu Zhi pulled the reins, slowed down the horse, and the villagers at the village gate saw the white shadow from afar, and ran back to Zhuang to tell him.
Wu Zhizi didn't have to wait for someone to come out to greet him. Galloped into the village and went straight to the martial arts compound, not to mention that the people were busy serving, Wu Zhi rested in the living room for a while, Zhu Wu. Lin Chong and Hua Rong hurriedly came, retreated, ordered the three of them to sit down, asked for other reasons, and the three of them reported their respective preparations for these days one by one.
Zhu Wu had already drawn up a detailed plan for Wujiazhuang to recruit Zhuang guests after the autumn harvest, and he had told him that he didn't have to worry about money, just recruit more people; Of course, don't exceed the level of tolerance of the imperial court, although it is anti-Liao. But if there are too many soldiers. It is not beautiful to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.
Lin Chong is mainly responsible for equipping the township soldiers with forbidden army equipment, teaching them the essentials of battle formation, while Hua Rong selected the township soldiers from the township soldiers with strong arms and bright eyes to form a divine bow team, and they are training desperately every day. Strive to shine in the upcoming war against Liao.
Wu Zhi listened to the narration of several people, smiled and nodded from time to time, the three of them did a good job, and they did not regard them as henchmen in vain, they were sharpening their knives and Huo Huo, just waiting to slaughter the Liao people.
Hua Rong talked about the selection of archers. suddenly smiled: "Lord Wang, Da Niu is a natural marksman, which is unexpected." โ
Wu Zhi was stunned, big bull? The strength is big enough. is as strong as a calf, but looking at his honest appearance, how can he not be associated with the agile archer, the archer is elegant and light, and the stupid bear-like stupid appearance of the big bull can also become a divine archer?
"If the prince doesn't believe it, he will go to see Da Niu another day, haha, this kid is now General Hua's proud disciple!" Zhu Wu said with a smile beside him.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Okay, that king really wants to see it!" โ
Lin Chong joked on the side: "Lord Wang, General Hua has dug up all the corners of his subordinates, and if he goes down like this, his subordinates will have no soldiers to bring!" โ
Wu Zhiwan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can add a large number of people after the autumn harvest to ensure that you will not become an empty teacher." โ
After a few jokes, Zhu Wu suddenly said: "The prince exterminated Tian Hu, I don't know how to plan the territory left by Tian Hu?" "He already knew that the Mu family gang in Jiangnan was under the command of Wang Jin, and except for the opium plan, Wu Zhi didn't hide anything from him.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Bait! โ
Zhu Wu smiled when he heard this: "As the villain expected, seeing that the prince did not arrange for Wang Jin to send manpower, he knew that the prince had a plan." โ
Wu Zhi said: "It is also a last resort, after all, Jiangnan is far away, and it is impossible to respond after dispersing people, so it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other, and it is better to concentrate on Jiangnan." โ
Zhu Wudao: "Although the subordinates can guess the slightest bit of the prince's thoughts, but they can't guess the ultimate goal of the prince, it seems that the subordinates and the prince are like a bird, the subordinates can see dozens of steps in front of them, but the prince can see a hundred steps away!" โ
Wu Zhi laughed: "Lao Zhu, don't make these false things for our own people, they are all our own people, it doesn't hurt to tell you, I have spent a lot of effort to get involved in the sale of private goods, there are only two reasons, one is naturally for money, and the other is for the common people in the world......"
Zhu Wu and the three of them looked at each other, and no one could have imagined that suddenly the words of the world would come out of the king's mouth. After a while, Zhu Wucai said: "Lord Wang, this is for the sake of money, and his subordinates naturally know, and he knows that this kind of business is extremely profitable when he looks at the steady stream of silver money from Jiangnan, but he says that for the sake of the world, forgive his subordinates for being stupid, this, this subordinate doesn't understand!" โ
Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Think about it, if you let these men lick the blood with their knife heads alone, is it a big hidden danger for my Great Song Dynasty?" โ
The three of them nodded, and Wu Zhi said again: "You don't mutter in your heart, thinking that you can send soldiers to exterminate it, but you don't know that this kind of business can't really be eliminated for thousands of years, exterminate Tian Hu, and Wang Qing, and don't know what kind of characters will emerge after exterminating Wang Qing, so it is better to firmly control it in our own hands, not only will it not be harmful, but it may also become a big force, such as the previous attack on Liao, Wang Jin should be credited with the first credit." โ
Zhu Wu and the three nodded thoughtfully, although the three of them were handsome for a while, after all, they were not as well-informed as Wu Zhi, and when it came to the Salt Gang, they would naturally think that they were just moths in the Great Song Dynasty, and they would send troops to clean them up. But I don't know that this kind of business is inexhaustible, that is, thousands of years later, the dynasty closed off the country, and the sale of private goods was still rampant for a while, not to mention the Song Dynasty, where the economy has reached a certain level, it is even more impossible to eradicate the sale of private goods.
Wu Zhi continued: "In this way, the hidden dangers of the Great Song Dynasty will be eradicated, and these good men can be allowed to serve my Great Song Dynasty, not for the sake of the common people in the world, what is it?" โ
Zhu Wu and the three of them nodded again and again, and they all felt that the noble king really had far-reaching knowledge, which was beyond his own comparison.
Xi Zhi said again: "So for the sake of the world." Let's say that we will use two hardships and dangers to eliminate all difficulties and unify the salt gang in the world! When he said this, Wu Zhi Xiaobayi was awe-inspiring, and Zhu Wu and the three of them were full of admiration, and they all swore to the heavens that they would help your king dominate the salt gang in the world.
Wu Zhi nodded with satisfaction. There was a burst of amusement in his heart, he was not a little less sensational than the mobilization order of the leaders of later generations, and he could still make the three of them dizzy, if they were high-ranking officials in later generations, they didn't know what they could fool them into.
At this time, Lin Chong suddenly said: "Lord Wang, just talking about the territory of Tianhu in Hebei, you said that you are bait, is it to attract a few salt gangs to fight in Hebei, and the prince will kill all of them?" โ
Wu Zhi smiled and nodded: "Well, Wang Qing and Chao Gai have always been my confidants. It's a pity that one is in Huaixi, one is in Shandong, the whip of this king is beyond the reach, if they can be brought to Hebei, hehe, this is the boundary of this king. It's just right to concoct it then! โ
Zhu Wudao: "Chao Gai naturally won't let go of the opportunity to enter Hebei, but that Wang Qing ......"
Wu Zhi smiled: "I have sent a letter to Wang Jin, ordering him to make peace with Wang Qing, this fight has been more than half a year, I think Wang Qing also knows that Jiangnan is difficult to cross the Lei Chi half a step, and he will definitely negotiate peace with Wang Jin." If he doesn't jump into our pit at that time, he won't be Wang Qing! โ
Zhu Wu smiled: "The prince is clever! โ
Wu Zhi said: "You can also come up with a few clever ideas!" โ
Zhu Wu smiled: "There is no idea, but there is a big fish." โ
Wu Zhi was stunned: "Big fish? โ
Zhu Wudao: "It's the big fish, the big fish from Yuncheng!" โ
Wu Zhi was surprised: "Chao Gai? He has already arrived in Hebei? How do you know? โ
Zhu Wudao: "Chao Gai has not arrived, but his advisers have arrived in Hebei. And it was our Zhuangzi who came and asked to see the prince! โ
Wu Zhi said: "Wu Yong? Haha, he's here for our Zhuangzi? โ
Zhu Wu nodded: "Listening to him, it seems that he wants to discuss the alliance with the owner." โ
Wu Zhi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and his mind turned sharply, pondering the meaning of Wu Didi. He naturally won't know the relationship between Wujiazhuang and Mujiabangdi, and he won't know about the relationship between Wujiazhuang and Guiwang, so it seems that I am afraid that it is also like Tian Hu looking for Zhujiazhuang, reading the whole text novel, as much as possible in ฯะฐั.1(6)(1(6)ฮบ.ะกn. Literature .ๅญธ็ฝ also wants to open a Song-Liao mutual market path.
"Do you want to see him?" Zhu Wu asked cautiously.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Let him wait, how many days has it been?" โ
Zhu Wudao: "On the third day, my subordinates wanted the prince to return to the village in a few days, but he didn't write a letter to tell him. โ
Wu Zhi said: "Well, then let him wait a few more days!" "Let's analyze the intelligence from Shandong.
"Well, let's disperse, I'll go see the big cow, was it all used by An Daoquan with a miracle medicine and turned into a spirit monkey as light as a swallow? Only then did he open the seven tricks and became a sharpshooter? Wu Zhi stood up as he spoke, Zhu Wu and the three laughed, and walked out behind Wu Zhi, and after the three of them said goodbye and left, Wu Zhi went straight to Da Niu's courtyard.
In the courtyard, Zhu'er was sweating and cleaning the courtyard, and Gong'e next to her looked frightened, as if she was persuading Zhu'er, but Zhu'er just didn't listen.
When Wu Zhi entered the courtyard, the two palace ladies saw it first, and their faces immediately changed, and they knelt on the ground together, and said in horror: "Master, ......"
Zhu'er turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw Wu Zhi, his face was immediately overjoyed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the broom aside, and ran over to say, "The master has arrived......"
Wu Zhi frowned slightly, looked at the two Gong E's who knelt down, and felt a burst of anger in his heart, bullying Zhu'er with a weak temperament?
Before Wu Zhi could speak, one of the palace ladies had already said in a trembling voice: "Master, it is Miss Zhu'er herself who will do these rough jobs, and it is useless for the slave to persuade her, and you don't need the slave helper, please ...... Please see ...... master" This Gong'e is clever, she knows what Wu Zhi is thinking, and she preemptively speaks to justify, if she waits for Wu Zhi to scold and punish, even if the defense is useless, now this royal edict is not much worse than Chrysostom's words. Wu Zhi's words hit the ground and it was a pit, but it wasn't changed like that.
Zhu'er reacted at this time, and said hurriedly: "Yes, master, don't blame Sister Xing'er, it's been a long time since Zhu'er has done these guys, and Zhu'er is afraid that it will continue like this...... Bamboo is not bamboo! โ
Wu Zhi heard Zhu'er say "Sister Xing'er", and looked down, but no, it was Xing'er who defended herself. No wonder he was so clever and saw that he was displeased.
"Bamboo is not bamboo?" Wu Zhi looked at Zhu'er amusedly.
Zhu'er said: "Yes, since Zhu'er followed the master, not only has she not been looked down upon by the master, but Mrs. and they also treat Zhu'er like sisters." Zhu'er is not like a maid, she is more delicate than the young lady of a big family......"
Wu Zhi smiled: "Is there anything wrong?" โ
Zhu'er said in a low voice: "It's good, it's good, it's ...... It's just that Zhu'er is afraid...... I'm afraid that if this continues, Zhu'er will forget his identity and have thoughts that he shouldn't have......"
Wu Zhiqi said: "What shouldn't you have thoughts? โ
Zhu'er shook her head, but her little face flushed a little.
Wu Zhi didn't ask anymore, and said with a smile: "Our Zhu'er should have been a young lady's life, what is the idea that you shouldn't have?" If you want me to say, bamboo is the star in the sky, and that is also the blessing of the star! โ
As he spoke, Wu Zhi looked around and said, "What about your brother?" I'm here to see the big cows! I heard that he is now imposing. Become a marksman? โ
Zhu'er heard Wu Zhi ask about Da Niu, and said with a smile: "Master, don't mention my brother, now he is so angry, he practices archery in Zhuanghou every day, and he doesn't go home on weekdays, Sister Chunhua went to bring him food." โ
Zhu'er suddenly came back to her senses after speaking. Hurriedly said: "Ah, Zhu'er is really getting more and more speechless!" Sir, please take a seat! As he spoke, he came over to help Wu Zhi outside the big hand, and he didn't want to touch it with his hand, and there was immediately a small black handprint on the big gun, and Zhu'er was startled, and when he looked down, he saw that his little hand was black. Thinking that it was because Fang had just cleaned the yard and got dirty, Zhu'er exclaimed, her eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at her hands and Wu Zhi's big blankly. When I see it, I will cry.
Wu Zhi heard her exclamation, turned around and said, "What's wrong?" Only then did he see the handprints on his purple cloak, and when he saw Zhu'er's expression again, he couldn't help but smile: "Don't cry your nose!" Otherwise, the master will be angry! โ
Zhu'er held back her crying, bowed her head and said, "Zhu'er...... Bamboo is getting more and more useless, master, Zhu'er is going to wash your cloak! โ
Seeing her appearance, Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Wash? Master, this cloak was bought for 300 yuan, can you wash the floor with your rough hands and feet? In this way, you can pay off the debts for the master as a maid for a few years! As he spoke, he pulled Zhu'er's arm and walked out.
Zhu'er laughed, and then tears slowly fell, and obediently walked out with Wu Zhi, remembering the first time she met the master, her heart was extremely warm.
Wu Zhi pulled Zhu'er out of the courtyard, a whistle, after a while, the sound of horses' hooves, the jade lion rushed to the ground, Wu Zhi stopped his waist and picked up Zhu'er, Zhu'er Fang exclaimed, he had been sent to the horse by Wu Zhi, and then Wu Zhi turned over on the horse, shook the reins, the jade lion neighed, and ran south, Shi Xiu and others hurriedly got on the horse and chased after him.
Zhu'er sat in front, the jade lion was too fast, and the wind was blowing in her face immediately, and the scenery was even more like flying backwards, Zhu'er just panicked, her body was warm, Wu Zhi had firmly covered her with a cloak, and Zhu'er's heart immediately settled, at this time she seemed to be embraced by Wu Zhi, feeling the strong masculine atmosphere on the cloak, and Zhu'er gradually became intoxicated......
I don't know how long it took, but I heard Wu Zhi laugh and say, "Let's rest here!" Then the cloak shook and scattered, and the eyes lit up, but they came to a small forest, lush and beautiful, and beside the woods there was a winding stream, gurgling water, crystal clear.
Wu Zhi jumped off the horse, took Zhu'er again, and said with a smile: "Rest here for a while, it's rare to have such a place next to our Wujiazhuang!" โ
Zhu'er nodded, and said in his mouth: "Zhu'er, go and freshen up!" He hurriedly ran to the stream, washing his hands and face.
Wu Zhi looked at her back and smiled, the little girl was too preoccupied, and the days with her for so long were still the same as when they first met, it was rare to be leisurely, and it was good to take her to relax.
After walking to the dirt slope, he found a dry wooden stake and sat down, and after a while, Zhu'er hurriedly ran over, and said with a smile: "This place is so beautiful, how does the master know that there is such a good place?" โ
Wu Zhi smiled, but this was discovered by accident, remembering that time when the jade lion chased the third sister, he couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
"Zhu'er, do you say it's a martial artist? Or is it better to have a palace in Beijing? "Wu Zhi is out of the gods for a while. Turning his head to ask Zhu'er, who was sitting silently beside him.
Zhu'er said: "Where the master says is good, it is good." โ
Wu Zhi smiled bitterly: "What do you think is good?" โ
Zhu'er frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Zhu'er doesn't know, the master is in Wujiazhuang, naturally it is good to be in Wujiazhuang, if the master is in the capital, then the palace is good." โ
Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly, what is in this little girl's head? Wouldn't there be nothing else to do but himself?
Under the autumn sun, it was warm, and Wu Zhi couldn't help yawning. Slightly tired, Zhu'er saw this and said, "Master, lie down and rest." โ
Wu Zhi nodded, picked up the cloak and covered it on the slightly yellowed grass, and lay down, soft and very comfortable.
"Sir. Bamboo pinched your head. Zhu'er jumped off the stake and ran to Wu Zhi's side.
Wu Zhi said "grace", and Zhu'er immediately sat happily next to Wu Zhi, raised Wu Zhi's head, put it on his lap, and stretched out his little hand to help Wu Zhi massage his eyebrows, eyes, head and neck.
Wu Zhi felt the tenderness under his head, and his face was a soft little hand, but he felt very comfortable, and said in his mouth: "Zhu'er, tell me about your past?" Wu Zhi roughly knew that Zhu'er had suffered a lot before. But I have never inquired in detail, and it is rare to be idle today, but I am curious.
Zhu'er exerted force in her hand, and said in her mouth: "Zhu'er is a stupid girl, what is there to talk about in the past." โ
Wu Zhi smiled: "Why is Zhu'er a stupid girl, our Zhu'er is smart and tight." โ
Bamboo's eyes flashed with joy. The little mouth couldn't help but show a smile, but it was silent.
Wu Zhi said again: "Then the master will tell you a story." โ
Zhu'er nodded vigorously, Wu Zhi was just about to speak, and Zhu'er suddenly said timidly: "Actually...... In fact, bamboo...... Zhu'er likes to listen to the old man's songs! After speaking, he quickly lowered his head, as if he had made a big mistake.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Then sing a song to Zhu'er!" โ
As he spoke, he hummed "There is a girl named Zhu'er in the village", and of course the lyrics in it were also changed. For example, "Thank you for giving me love" was changed to "Thank you for being my maid" and so on.
Zhu'er listened to it obsessively, and her heart was almost bursting with joy, but she just chanted: This is the song that the master sang to himself, and this is the song that the master sang to himself....... The hands also gradually slowed down. Although Wu Zhi felt it, he didn't speak, but still sang softly.
At this moment, there were suddenly a few shouts from the side of the slope, it seemed that someone was coming, Shi Xiu and others stopped it, Zhu'er was slightly surprised, but seeing that Wu Zhi still continued to hum his tune, with a determined expression, he didn't think much about it anymore, and only listened to Wu Zhi's singing.
Wu Zhi is naturally determined, Shi Xiu and the guards are here, who can get close? Of course, he didn't take the visitor to heart, but this time he obviously miscalculated, shouted, and then a few muffled snorts, and the sound of footsteps came, and the person who came obviously broke through the obstruction of Shi Xiu and others, and walked quickly to the back of the dirt slope.
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and the first thing he saw was a pair of spotless, snow-white small embroidered shoes, Wu Zhi didn't need to look up to know who was coming.
Shi Xiu and the others hurriedly followed, with a very strange expression on their faces, and it was no wonder that Shi Xiu and the others couldn't stop her, first, the third sister was there, and Shi Xiu and the others didn't dare to go all out, he was not a fool, how could he not know that this famous peerless girl and his prince had an inexplicable ambiguity?
Seeing Wu Zhi and Zhu'er's intimate demeanor, Hu Sanmei was slightly stunned, but immediately regained her calm, slowly walked to a wooden stake and sat down, and said lightly: "Why did you remember to be here?" โ
Wu Zhi waved his hand, signaling Shi Xiu and the others to step back, he wanted to get up, but he was really reluctant to be in this extremely comfortable posture now, goodbye Hu Sanmei sat opposite him without care, without the slightest intention of avoiding taboos, and said in his heart What are you afraid of, what am I afraid of? He didn't get up at the moment, and said with a smile: "I accidentally remembered here?" How did you come here? โ
Hu Sanmei said: "I come to sit for a while every day." โ
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, but there was nothing unusual about her demeanor, and he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Then today is a coincidence!" โ
Hu Sanmei looked up at Zhu'er and asked, "Who is this girl?" โ
Wu Zhi said: "Bamboo! โ
"Bamboo?" Hu Sanmei couldn't help but look at Zhu'er carefully, she had heard this name for a long time, so naturally she listened to Hu Cheng chant "how is bamboo" and "how is bamboo" every day, and it is impossible to remember it.
Zhu'er was cramped by Hu Sanmei, and wanted to stand up and say hello, but Wu Zhi was holding her legs and didn't dare to move.
