"Prince, there is someone sneakily snooping over there, and he was caught by our people" A group of people caught Lao Gou in full swing, and before they knew it, it was almost dusk, and at this time a guard ran to tell him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Snooping? Do you know what it does, ask clearly, if it is the common people in this vicinity, let the people go, don't scare people," Li Chengqian ordered disapprerovingly.

After a few minutes, the guards ran back and brought back unexpected news: "Bandits? Are you saying the guy you caught is a bandit? “

Li Chengqian asked in surprise.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, that guy is very timid, and before we could ask, he himself was so frightened that he said it all," the guard replied with a smirk.

"Eh, you are so daring, and you still learn from others to be bandits, is there any mistake, it won't be a fake like Dynasty and Mahan" Li Chengqian was also speechless.

"Then Your Highness, do you want to go back to the city now, after all, it is very unsafe to have bandits here," the guard said worriedly.

Li Chengqian looked at Wu Yuanqing and saw that he was also a little worried, so he nodded from Shanruliu: "Okay, since that's the case, then we'll go back now." “。

In the evening, after dinner, Ma Beijia came to meet again. As soon as Ma Bei drove into the house, before he had time to give a salute, he heard the prince ask anxiously: "You really have bandits here, we also caught one today, he said what is the name of Black Wind Village, the boss is called Deng Bao, known as the Black Lord." “

"Eh, yes, Your Highness" Ma Beijia heard that the prince had encountered a thief again, and immediately sweated on his head, frightened.

Ma Beijia explained in detail the origin, number of bandits, and what they did.

"Are you saying that these bandits used to be officers and soldiers?" After Li Chengqian heard this, he was taken aback.

"Yes, Your Highness, they are all the subordinates of the previous assassin, the prince of Pengguo, the king of the king, it is said that in the early years, he followed the king to rob the countryside for the thieves of the Wuthering Mountains, and later this Deng Bao was put together by the king, and his vitality was greatly damaged, so he could only be attached to the king, and when the king was attached to the imperial court, these people also had a small official position. When Lord Wang went to Liaozhou to take office, these people were also brought over by him, and later when Lord Wang was promoted and left, these people did not leave for unknown reasons, but stayed in this poor mountain and remote place as bandits. Speaking of Wang Junkuo's early years as a bandit, Ma Beijia cautiously looked at Li Chengqian's face, and said boldly when he saw that he didn't say anything.

"It turned out to be Wang Junkuo's subordinates, no wonder the thief nature has not changed" Li Chengqian snorted coldly, looking very bad impression of Wang Junkuo.

But if you think about it, it's normal for Li Chengqian to do this. Don't look at the Tang Dynasty, many of the founding generals have entered Wagangzhai, like Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji, Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, these people are also bandits.

But these people subjectively are for the anti-Sui era, and they are also working hard for the anti-Sui, and they have not done anything to harm their neighbors.

But Wang Junkuo is different. He was a native of Shiai (now Pingding) in Bingzhou since he was a child, and he made a living by selling horses, but he was misbehaved and often stolen, which caused trouble in the township. That is to say, he didn't learn well in the first place, and it was not a good thing.

In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, he planned to gather soldiers and horses as thieves, but his uncle did not agree. Wang Junkuo framed his neighbor for fornicating with his uncle, killed his neighbor with his uncle, and died in the rivers and lakes ever since.

He was able to become a famous general of the founding of the country, of course, because he had the ability, and he gathered a large number of people when he was a bandit, but a large part of the reason was that the times forced him.

At the beginning, Li Yuan recruited him, but he chose Li Mi of Wagangzhai. And Deng Bao was also cheated by him that time, lost his baggage, and scattered people's hearts.

Later, he couldn't get important, and saw that Li Mi couldn't do it anymore, so he joined Li Yuan's command again.

From this, it can be seen that this person is very utilitarian and is still a villain.

And Li Chengqian doesn't like Wang Junkuo, the main reason is that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and even the people of the royal family dare to design frames.

In the ninth year of Wude, that is, last year, Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, served as the governor of Youzhou. Tang Gaozu thought that he was not a general, so he ordered Wang Junkuo to assist him. Wang Junkuo is brave and strong, Li Ying relies on him very much, puts his heart to him, and wants to marry him.

After the change of Xuanwumen, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was killed, and Tang Gaozu ordered Cui Dunli, a general secretary, to recruit Li Jin into the court, Li Ming and Li Jiancheng had a good relationship, and there was collusion in secret, so he was very scared in his heart, so he asked Wang Junkuo for help.

Wang Jun had a bad heart and wanted to arrest Li Ai and grab fame. Mingli appeased and dissuaded Li Jin, but secretly prepared, and when Li Ying arrested Cui Dunli, Wang Junkuo immediately turned his face and ruthlessly, personally released Cui Dunli, and then reprimanded Li Ying for imprisoning the imperial envoy with the intention of rebellion.

The angry Li Ying scolded him for betraying himself and being a villain.

Wang Junkuo turned his face and turned it thoroughly, not only framed Li Ming, but also strangled him to death in person, in order to kill Li Ming, he was appointed as the general of the left leading army, and the governor of Youzhou, and he was crowned Zuo Guanglu Doctor, and 1,300 households were actually sealed, and the population of Li Ming's family was also rewarded to him.

Wang Junkuo not only framed his in-laws, was promoted to an official and made a fortune, but also slept with the women of his in-laws.

Although Li Shimin was promoted to Wang Junkuo's official, Li Shimin knew what Wang Junkuo did, and it was only for some reason that he didn't care about his thoughts.

And Li Chengqian knows all this, so he is very disgusted with treacherous villains like Wang Junkuo.

Wu Yuanqing didn't know much about Wang Junkuo, but he had heard of it in later generations, and knew that he was a very powerful general in the early Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that this person had also been an assassin in Liaozhou.

"These people are too unpursuing, let a good official be inappropriate, to be a thief, stupid" Wu Yuanqing joked with a smile.

Ma Beijia shook his head and said: "The little grandfather is wrong, as far as the lower officials know, they basically don't rob passers-by, and this place is so poor that there is nothing to rob." However, it seems that Zhang Tingshi has a connection with them, Zhang Tingshi's family has a caravan, and every once in a while he will purchase a lot of things from the city, saying that they will be transported to other places to sell, but every time he will be robbed by Deng Bao and his gang after leaving the city, but no one will be injured. Someone also suggested to the assassin that if he couldn't do it, he would take another path and sell it somewhere else. But Zhang Tingshi is very stubborn, and he has to take that road in life or death. Therefore, secretly, people talk about these bandits who are raised by Zhang Tingshi, and also say that he controls Deng Bao and his group, and Deng Bao and these people control dozens of cottages on Taihang Mountain. ”

"There's such a thing, it's a little interesting" Li Chengqian's eyes were round, and he was interested.

"Hehe, it's really interesting, the official not only doesn't suppress the bandits, but also thinks about the bandits, Zhang Cheng, the old thing, is really not wronged" Both of them didn't consider the truth of this matter, for people like Zhang Cheng who dare to think about killing the prince, there is no pressure to do this kind of thing, it is normal.

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, I also heard one thing, that Zhang Tingshi and Lord Wang are related, and Lord Wang's wife Zhang is the sister of Zhang Tingshi, and it is precisely by climbing the big tree of Lord Wang that Zhang Tingshi can become the Thorn History of Honshu" Ma Beijia broke another big news.

"I'll go! There is still such a relationship, if this is the case, then Zhang Cheng can completely say that he is raising Deng Bao and these bandits. This is basically Wang Junkuo raising bandits through Zhang Cheng's hands, this guy seems to really like being a bandit, and if he can't become a bandit, he should be the mastermind behind controlling them" Wu Yuanqing was completely shocked.

"Then they snooped on us, would they still think about avenging Zhang Cheng" Wu Yuanqing's heart moved and said.

"Don't say it, it's really very possible" Li Chengqian nodded approvingly, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, do you want to make trouble with them."

"Needless to say, make trouble, make him die," Wu Yuanqing said without hesitation.

The two of them hit it off, calling Captain Chi Baolin, the head of the bodyguard, plus Ma Beijia, the whistleblower, and the four of them muttered together and began to discuss the plan to encircle and suppress Heifeng Village.

At this time, on the mountain ridge more than 30 miles south of the city, a small high ground that can barely be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack sits a loosely guarded cottage.

There is a pole erected on the gate of the village, and a big flag with black characters on a white background is hung, and three big characters are written on it. The writing is ugly and crooked, like an earthworm crawling.

"You said Niu Er was caught," in the hall of the stockade. At the top sat a middle-aged man in his forties with blue-faced leopard eyes.

The face was ugly, as if dyed with ink, and the black was terrifying.

Kneeling down there was a terrified-looking little minion.

"Yes, big boss, when we went to find out what they were doing, Niu Er got too close and was caught by the secret sentry they were hiding."

"Damn, if you don't succeed enough and you lose more than you lose, let you go and see what those people are doing, you can be caught, it's really ****** waste. Roll on, Lao Tzu will be angry when he sees you," Deng Bao stood up angrily and kicked the little minion out.

"What's the matter, Uncle Deng is so angry, who made you angry" A young man in his twenties with a round head, round head and round face walked in and asked with a smile.

"Oh, Xiaobao, come, sit" Deng Bao also sat back and said: "Didn't I ask Niu Er to find out what the prince was doing, but Niu Er's waste was caught by the prince's people." “

The young man, surnamed Wei, named Xiaobao, is the second leader of Heifeng Village, his father's name is Wei Bao, in addition to Deng Bao, who was pitted by Wang Junkuo back then, the other is him. Before he died, he was the second leader of Heifeng Village, and Wei Xiaobao inherited his father's position.

"Hey, the prince caught Niu Er, Uncle Deng, I'm afraid we're in danger" As soon as Wei Xiaobao heard it, he knew that the matter was serious, Niu Er was very clear about this person, he was very timid, and he didn't have any other skills, that is, he could talk to anyone, and he couldn't talk to anyone, and he couldn't hold it when he bragged about the cow, and it was in this way that he made friends with himself who was wandering down the mountain, and was introduced into the cottage by himself.

If you don't scare him, you can't hold the door, this was caught and scared, and you must have poured beans from the bamboo tube, and you shouldn't say it all.

"It's dangerous, I'm still afraid that a few of them won't make it, what's wrong with the prince, he annoyed Lao Tzu, and cut him down" Deng Bao was also scared in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry after knowing that Niu Er was arrested, but in front of Wei Xiaobao, the second master, he still pretended to be very bold and not afraid.
