Chapter 269: Murderous Opportunities
Xue Shao saw a "eye-catching" man walking in at the door of Laiyi Liquor Shop. He was five short and rickety, with a pointed face, rat whiskers, prominent cheekbones, a very long chin, and eyes like two thin slits pinched out of a woman's fingernails. The reason why it is "eye-catching" is because this obscene man is dressed brightly and arrogant, and he is tilting his head and cutting his hands to pose with a domineering posture of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", his eyes are slanted at the ceiling, and no one in his eyes walks into the wine shop.
When Xue Shao saw him, it was like seeing a green-headed fly fall on a plate of food, and then he thought of his "secret words" that he overheard in the martial arts academy that day, saying how to clean up Xue Shao, how to snatch the women around Xue Shao and ravage them to their heart's content, and a nameless karmic fire secretly rose in his heart.
Wu Yizong!
The two young men who came in behind Wu Yizong were very good-looking. A person with extraordinarily luxurious clothes is absolutely rare in a place like Bingzhou, coupled with a free and easy expression and a smile, and he is deliberately showing a "luxury" between his gestures, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is a big official and a son from the capital.
This is Wu Yizong's sworn brother, Wu Yougui.
Another white-faced scholar is the most good-looking among the three, with a long body and handsome facial features, and a bit of the chic charm of a talented and beautiful man, but he has always nodded and flattered Wu Yizong, which makes people feel a little disdainful.
This is the great talent who has become famous in the capital in recent years and whose poetry is well-known all over the world, Song Zhiwen.
Behind the three men, there are also five or six charming young women, who are laughing and laughing, and their demeanor is frivolous and kitsch.
Laiyi wine shop is a little worse than the wine shop in Chang'an West City, but it is already the largest and best one in Taiyuan City. Xue Shao and others gather here, and these three people will also come here to have fun, but it is not surprising. Wu Yizong's group of men and women walked into the wine shop very swaggeringly. The shopkeeper and others have always had the ability to recognize people, and the identity of the person who knew the Tao was extraordinary, so he hurriedly greeted him and directly invited him to the private room upstairs to serve him attentively.
These people didn't pay attention to Xue Shao, who was inconspicuous in the corner of the lobby and crowded among a group of guards.
It's really a narrow road, and seeing that the three of them are half in a bad mood, Xue Shao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Wei Yuanzhong sat beside Xue Shao, glanced at his eyes, approached and whispered: "These three people were ordered to go out to serve as grain and grass transporters, but they were wrapped in military prostitutes among the heavy wagons and horses in the army, and there were many people who knew the Tao, so the impact was very bad. Wei, as a marching Sima and the imperial history of the imperial court, was really blind to this, so he wanted to investigate and impeach him. But Pei Gong stopped me, saying that I don't need to treat these three people as people in the army, just ignore them. ”
Xue Shao smiled, "It's like when I was lecturing on martial arts, I didn't treat them as human beings. ”
Mankind?
Hearing this word, Wei Yuanzhong smiled heartily and was relieved.
Li Duozuo also sat next to Xue Shao, and the whispering conversation between Xue Shao and Wei Yuanzhong did not avoid him. Li Duozuo also smiled when he heard these words, lowered his voice and said, "Xue Gongzi, having said that, these three guys who are not human beings have entered Bingzhou City, not necessarily just to have fun. ”
Xue Shao's heart woke up, and Li Duozuo's reminder made sense!
Li Xiantong is my enemy, and although Wu Yizong and Wu Yougui have not torn their faces with me, they are also lurking enemies. Since they have a common enemy, there is a good chance that they will become "friends". Moreover, when she was in Chang'an before, Shangguan Wan'er received an invitation to go to Wu Sansi's house to participate in the poetry meeting, wasn't it sent by Wu Yizong?
And that poisonous plan was exactly what Li Xiantong dedicated to Wu Sansi!
In this way, it is very likely that there is a close connection between Wu Yizong and Li Xiantong.
Li Xiantong lost his position in Zuo Fengchenwei, and the Queen of Heaven (or the emperor) arranged for him to go to the East Palace to make a living, but he refused. It can be seen from this that Li Xiantong does not want to get too close to the prince. Does that mean that Li Xiantong is likely to be in collusion with the son and nephew of the Wu family and become party friends, so he wants to alienate the prince of the Li family?
Thinking of this, Xue Shao's thinking became clear! - That's right, that's right, Li Xiantong is alone, and it is unlikely that he will toss so many things. It is very likely that he has been secretly instructed by Wu Chenghe, and he has always been Wu Chenghe's person!
The more Xue Shao pondered, the more he affirmed his inference, and thought to himself, I don't actually have any deep hatred with Li Xiantong, and some of the battles within Zuo Fengchenwei at the beginning have not risen to the level of "you live or die" or even hunt down and merge with the state. Only Wu Chenghei, he really swears to me. Especially this time I went out with the army, if I die in the "frontier", then Wu Chenghei can rekindle the hope of marrying Princess Taiping!
I see, so!
Maybe Li Duozuo was just a guess and unintentional words, but it helped Xue Shao connect everything before and after. Natural enemies are natural enemies, and it turns out that my biggest enemy is still Wu Chenghe. Li Xiantong was jumping very happily, but it was very likely that he was just a hunting dog under Wu Chenghe's hands!
It is precisely because of such a special position that many of Li Xiantong's behaviors are different from his father Li Shangdan and grandfather Li Chongyi. It is normal for people who are officials to get involved in political disputes. Li Shangdan has a stinky temper, and dares to scold the queen for the sake of the battle for military power, Li Chongyi will have the thoughts and behaviors of suppressing Cheng Wuting, which is actually not out of line.
Li Xiantong is different, he is carrying out a "major" political speculation, he is different from his father and grandfather, he stood in the team of Wu Chengsi early, and is wholeheartedly eradicating dissidents for Wu Chenghe!
Xue Shao had that strange thought in his heart again, I suspect that this Li Xiantong is also a traverser. Otherwise, why did he change his position and part ways with his father and grandfather, and defect to Wu Chenghe's camp? Could it be that he knew that Wu Zetian would be the emperor in the future, and the nephews of the Wu family would be in power?
Uncanny!
"Childe...... Oh no, General, come and have a bowl with us! The laughter of the moon slave interrupted Xue Shao's contemplation.
"Good!" Xue Shao didn't want to ruin everyone's interest, so he happily picked up a bowl of wine, "Brothers, please!" ”
"General, please!"
Everyone drank a large bowl together, and then several guys began to clap the table, "Serve wine, serve wine!" ”
There were already several huge wine jars next to them. When a soldier drinks alcohol, it is like going into battle to kill the enemy.
Drinking the strongest wine, riding the strongest horse, and sleeping with the most coquettish woman are the three ideals in the minds of military men.
The atmosphere continued to be warm, and the guards, who had been working hard for several months, let go of drinking and having fun today.
Yuenu also had a good time today, she felt that she had never been so happy as she was since she was born. Of course, she knew very well in her heart that it was not these smelly and stupid young guards who made her so happy, but that her body and mind finally had a home, or a destination that was out of reach in her dreams.
This is called, people are in good spirits at happy events!
Everyone still drank the wine as water, laughed loudly, and the lobby of the wine store was lively and noisy.
"Xue Gongzi, the matter of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Prefecture has not been investigated?" Wei Yuanzhong whispered, "Li Xiantong has been on guard for a long time, and he is so well guarded that Wei feels at a loss!" ”
Xue Shao pondered for a moment and said, "The more tightly he covers, the more I suspect that there is a particularly serious situation in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Previously, I had privately discussed the battle of Shuozhou with Pei Gong, and Pei Gong was very disappointed and surprised by the delay of the Metropolitan Governor's Office to send troops to rescue him. His old man told me that Li Chongyi was known for his virtue and prestige, and he was very suspicious and shocked that Li Chongyi had done such a thing. Then Li Chongyi is very likely to have been placed under house arrest and set aside, and these things are not from his original intention. Therefore, Li Xiantong will definitely not let outsiders see his grandfather, especially Marshal Pei's people, especially the supervising imperial history like you! ”
Wei Yuanzhong's eyebrows sank, "Then can he hide for the rest of his life?" ”
This sentence really reminded Xue Shao!
That's right, unless Li Xiantong and Wei Juyuan have been hiding Li Chongyi all the time, as soon as he shows up, the truth of the matter will be revealed, aren't these two dead ends?
"It's broken!" Xue Shao snorted, "Li Chongyi is very likely to be in danger!" ”
"No, it won't!" Wei Yuanzhong exclaimed, "Can Li Xiantong still attack his own grandfather?" ”
"It's hard to say." Xue Shao's eyebrows tightened, "Grandfather is a close relative, that's right." But if you choose between your own death and your grandfather's death, I think people like Li Xiantong will definitely not let themselves die! ”
"This! ......" Wei Yuanzhong took a deep breath, "If something like this really happens, it will really shock the government and the opposition!" ”
"Shocked the government and the opposition, this is just a later story." Xue Shao's expression became serious, and he said, "In front of you, we are now in the critical period of the Northern Expedition of the 300,000 Tang Dynasty Princes, and the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and all the logistics grain and grass transportation are tied to Governor Shi. If something really happens to Li Chongyi, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will inevitably be in chaos. If there are people like Wei Juyuan and Li Xiantong who take advantage of the power and make things worse, the supply of the 300,000 army is worrying, and it is very likely to affect the outcome of the war. This is a major military event, related to thousands of life and death, and even social welfare! ”
"No, you have to stop them!" Wei Yuanzhong's expression suddenly became very serious, and he said categorically, "I will go to the Governor's Mansion again to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and strongly ask to see Li Chongyi in person, so I said that Pei Gong came to an urgent military order, let me convey it to Li Changshi in person!" ”
Xue Shao wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay." This kind of thing is better to believe in its existence than to believe in its non-existence, and it is the best policy to prevent problems before they are burned. If something really happens to Li Chongyi, it's too late! ”
"Okay, then I'll go!" Wei Yuanzhong glanced left and right at the eyeliner hidden in the wine shop, and just as he was about to get up and sit down again, he whispered, "Someone has been staring at us for a long time." If I leave alone, I risk being held by them. Wei Mou's own safety doesn't matter, if he spoils the military affairs, he will die and can't be redeemed! ”
"Brother Wei is really alert!" Xue Shao approved, called Xue Chuyu to his side, and said, "Brother, you take a few people to escort Wei Yushi back, and you must not leave an inch to ensure his absolute safety!" ”
Must, absolutely, Xue Chuyu's heart was already clear when he heard such words. So he arched his hand quietly as usual, but the words were categorical four words, "Live together, die together!" ”
Hearing this, the string in Xue Shao's heart also tightened suddenly. Seeing that the moon slave and those brothers were still fighting and having fun without distractions, everything seemed to be relaxed and normal.
How many people thought that at this moment, it was actually murderous and turbulent? .
