Chapter Seventy-Six: The night is dark and silent, and the people of the world are leisurely
The bonfire in the night lit up the hidden and hidden figures around,
"Dog officer! Take your life! "Don't talk nonsense, kill them all, get rid of them for the sake of the name!" β
"Don't mess around!"
"Everyone, listen to a certain advice, don't fall for the villain's tricks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"It's all a bunch of fools!"
In the night, several people either cursed or persuaded, swords and soldiers met, and after a few muffled snorts, some people fell to the ground, and then there was an even more fierce fight, and in the end, all the explanations and curses turned into a dead silence in the night.
Li Chaonian wiped the blood on his face while carrying a knife and walked to the bonfire, "Damn, this is a group of fools, even these people dare to rob the Dao?" Who gave them the courage anyway?! As he spoke, he sat down on the ground by the campfire, panting heavily, and people kept coming out of the night behind him, some wearing leather armor, and more wearing uniform clothes, all in black.
"General Yue? Okay? Li Chaonian glanced at the young general sitting beside him, there were no scars on his body, and the leather armor on his body was not stained with any blood, which was much better than Li Chaonian, but through the light of the bonfire, he could clearly see the cold expression on the other party's face, and there were several people who were the same as him, all sitting around the bonfire at this time.
"What? Not happy? Or do you care about what they just said? β
"Doesn't General Li care? Although we are doing secrets, it is inconvenient to talk to outsiders, but we have never lost our conscience from beginning to end, and we are more worthy of the court and the people, but now we have become traitors in their mouths, dog officials, and now we are forced to take their lives......" Yue Fei said this, his face became even more gloomy, since he joined the army, he was thinking about doing something for the country and the people, and when he promised Li Huai to take over the errand of escorting supplies, he was also thinking about buying some respite for the people and the court, but he didn't expect to be hunted down and killed several times along the way, and the other party cursed them again and again.
Li Chaonian looked at the other party, but there was a smile on his face, "We are all soldiers, and soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty, and we really shouldn't think about superfluous things?" β
"What if it's aiding and abetting? It doesn't matter? β
"When you agreed to take over this errand, didn't you just believe what my son-in-law said?" Li Chaonian looked at the other party, "Since you should go, you have no hesitation." After finishing speaking, they no longer looked at each other, in the surrounding night, someone was sorting out the surrounding things, Li Chaonian stood up, and walked deeper into the dark night under Yue Fei's gaze, everything around was quiet, looking at the bonfire in front of him, Yue Fei was stunned......
In the next few days, there were still a lot of people and horses rushing towards this Hongji caravan, some of them took a fancy to the goods of the caravan, and some of them were under the banner of serving the country and the people. They were all sparsely left, no explanation, no softness, only corpses scattered along the way.
At this time, in Shangjing, the news that the Hongji caravan went north had already been heard in the streets, and it was originally only thought that someone deliberately spread rumors, and then the people of the rivers and lakes stood up to testify, and I don't know when, even the court began to spread similar news.
The Li family didn't give any explanation, and what followed was the verbal criticism of Qian Qianyi and other scholars, "Is the Li family afraid of being the lackeys of Daxia?" β
"What a martyr, bullshit." Upstairs on the Moon Tower, a few scholars scolded, although some people felt that if they could use money to block the iron cavalry of Yuanmeng in Great Xia, it would not be a good thing, but in the eyes of those hot-blooded young people, it was the most shameful thing, "We are all men, since we serve the country with blood, and those who lead soldiers do not go to war, but learn from businessmen to make a voice, what is this?" β
"Could it be that tens of thousands of horses in my Hua Dynasty are all decorations? Or can it only oppress the good? β
"It's nothing more than spending money to save your life! They are all greedy for life and afraid of death! β
Several scholars became more and more angry the more they talked, and finally scolded the Li family by name, and on the top floor of the Moon Tower, the prince of the Hua Dynasty was sitting opposite Li Huai, "Prince, you also came to Xingshi to ask about the crime?" β
"What Hong Ji did, if it weren't for the nod of his father, he wouldn't have been so unscrupulous, and you can actually say that the generals of the new army can protect you, it seems that it is not so simple." The prince looked at the young man opposite, and there was a bit of appreciation in his tone, "They just don't know the inside story, I'll talk about it there." β
"Thank you for that, I'm not good at fighting, and if I listen to them arguing all day long, I will have a headache." Li Huai said and pushed a cup of tea in front of the prince, "The prince came over today, I think there is something more important to say." β
The corners of Yuan Chengdao's mouth raised, he picked up the teacup with one hand, and took a sip, "General Li He has taken care of the affairs of the new army, and I can be regarded as repaying Li by doing this." Halfway through his words, he glanced at Li Huai opposite, "However, this matter has become too big, if it is not handled well, I am afraid that the Li family will be doomed......
"Then according to the prince's meaning......" Li Huai looked at the other party with some amusement, Yuan Chengdao is also in his thirties now, and there is a domineering look between his eyebrows, but in Li Huai's opinion, it is still too naΓ―ve, "If the Li family can stand up, I will naturally have a way to ensure the reputation of the Li family as a loyal martyr." β
"Haha" As soon as Yuan Chengdao's words fell, Li Huai couldn't help laughing, "If you could have been more cautious in doing things at the beginning, why did you do this?" Yuan Chengdao's face changed, but Li Huai on the other side didn't give him a chance to speak, "With the death of a woman, you want to force the right minister to back down, incite public opinion, and force the emperor to break with the Xia Dynasty, how naΓ―ve are you, prince?" And your methods are too rough, your father is too lazy to investigate, and now you still want to threaten our Li family, do you think we will push the emperor out for the sake of fame? β
Upstairs in Mochizuki, Li Huai smiled, but the prince opposite was extremely ugly, and the generous statements of the scholars downstairs were particularly harsh in his ears, as if someone was slapping him in the face, "Prince, the tea is also finished, you better go back to the palace early, I want to come to the emperor at this time." With a few words, Li Huai twisted his head to the side.
"Don't forget, I'm still the prince!" Yuan Chengdao said indignantly, and then turned to leave, autumn was thick, the water on the stove was boiling, and a woman came out of the back room, took the kettle from the stove, and slowly poured it into the teapot, the fragrance of tea overflowed.
"There is a sentence, he is right, he is still the prince, you should save some face for him." Ying Tianxiang said as she poured the brewed tea into Li Huai's cup, "Just because he is the prince, he has to learn smarter now, and it is okay to be smart, but he doesn't even weigh his own weight, if he really comes like this, I'm afraid that we won't have a peaceful life in the future......"
