Chapter 497: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Hai Lanzhu watched the people of the Zhou family being dragged out, struggling and wailing, like a pack of dying dogs.
The young Duke of Liang Guo stood there indifferently, calmly watching all this, without saying anything, just making a simple gesture, and deciding the fate of the Zhou family.
It was too far away, Hai Lanzhu didn't hear the conversation between Princess Changping and Zhou Kui, but vaguely heard the people of the Zhou family calling for help, mixed with words like "granddaughter", she didn't know the relationship inside, she just felt Wang Huan's decisiveness.
When the surroundings returned to quiet, Wang Huan sent the Qing soldiers who escorted Hai Lanzhu to Datong and left, standing in front of her.
"Gege, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." He said with a smile, just like the smile he had when he left in her show building that day: "I didn't expect it, there will be a day of goodbye." ”
This sentence of "Gege" immediately shrank Hailanzhu's pupils, and the memories in his mind were pulled to that day a few years ago, the kid whose complexion was much whiter and thinner than now, transformed into the tower-like Liang Guogong in front of him, the two of them looked the same, exactly the same, the difference was that one was immature and the other was mature.
"You, you, you...... You're the ...... of that day."
Hai Lanzhu stared at the apricot eyes, her face was discolored, and the word "you" couldn't finish the following, Wang Huan interrupted her surprise and said, "That's right, I am, do you miss me?" ”
"I, I, I ......," Hai Lanzhu stammered, like a repeater.
"This is the will of God, you have already been seen by me, God thinks that you should not let you cheapen me for nothing, so he will send you to me." Wang Huan smiled narrowly, his eyes rolled up and down on Hai Lanzhu's body, like a rascal with bad intentions: "Come on, go to your boudoir, it's all ready, it's the same layout as when you and I were together." ”
Hai Lanzhu was stunned in place, her mouth open, she couldn't believe her eyes no matter what, the poor boy who climbed the wall and got into her room actually became today's Da Ming Liang Guogong, who rolled up her private money and jewelry, and the extremely vicious bad guy can also become a duke?!
Anger and shame surged into her heart in an instant, and Hai Lanzhu's face flushed, this villain! But he has carried himself to bed naked, and even up and down his hands, he has touched the places that should be touched! I'm an innocent daughter!
Hai Lanzhu has a strong personality and is quite martial arts, so she immediately wanted to scold a few words, and suddenly remembered her mother's words before leaving, this hooligan is the hero who killed the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and he doesn't know how much blood is stuck on his hands, just by virtue of the ruthless attitude towards that line of Han people just now, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person who is easy to deal with.
She was scared again, her face was angry and frightened, her expression changed, and she was wonderful, and the gains and losses of a little daughter's family were clearly expressed on her expression.
Wang Huan watched it with relish, he hadn't experienced this kind of bad taste for a long time, he couldn't help but look at it for a while, and after a while, he gently leaned close to Hai Lanzhu's earlobe and said: "I took your money when I was down, and I accepted your benefits, don't worry, I won't treat you like anything, as long as you are obedient, this is your home." ”
Hai Lanzhu's tears swirled in her eyes, she stubbornly refused to fall, Wang Huan's snort was hot and itchy in her ears, and she used a lot of perseverance to prevent her from crying.
This kind of appearance made Wang Huan feel bored, he reluctantly called a few mothers-in-law and pulled Hai Lanzhu over, the mothers-in-law are all clever people with sharp teeth, they are used to seeing girls who are sold by their parents, and they are irritable and pull people away, Hai Lanzhu glanced back at Wang Huan while walking.
Wang Huan shrugged, indifferent in response.
Turning around, Li Dingguo was standing not far away, looking at him with a complicated expression.
Wang Huan walked over, passed by him, and Li Dingguo followed silently.
"How is the reception of Beizhili going?" Wang Huan asked, and kept walking towards the study.
"The Tatars stayed in Beizhili, and there were three Han troops with a total of nearly 30,000 soldiers, two of whom came over with a surrender table and handed over the soldiers and horses. One has not moved for a long time, gathered 9,000 troops stationed in the Cangzhou area, yesterday I heard that the land is being looted for the people's wealth, ready to go to Shandong, probably to go there and Tong Yangliang convergence, trapped beasts are still fighting. ”
"Leave him alone for now." Wang Huan thought for a moment and said: "Let him go, Shandong can't accommodate so many soldiers and horses, and Tong's cultivation is just a matter of raising tigers, and sooner or later there will be an incident, which will be beneficial and harmless to us." ”
"Ma Zuoheng from Tongguan came with news, Wu Sangui, who was guarding Henan, evacuated Tongguan a few days ago and went north, and after hearing the news from the spies, he also wanted to go to Shandong, see the situation, and board the ship to cross the sea if there was something wrong." Li Dingguo looked at the piece of paper in his hand and said.
Wang Huan laughed and said, "Go to Shandong again?" Are these guys going to run Shandong into a customs outlet? ”
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "No, Beizhili has fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, these people are deeply guilty, I am afraid that they will be liquidated when they return to the Ming court, so they can only go to the dark one way. ”
Wang Huan paused at his feet, then took another step, and said decisively: "Let them go, you don't have to fight with these broken jars and broken people, and waste military horses in vain." We follow the established steps and slowly press the past, Shandong will be recovered sooner or later, these people can only cross the sea, let them go to the outside of the border, taste the taste of sending people under the fence, Jierharang will not treat them as uncles. ”
"Yes." Li Dingguo agreed, took back the piece of paper, and took out another one. "Nanzhili Zu Tianci said that the emperor sent the king of Yanping County and the Duke of Huiguo out of Guangdong and Fujian, raised an army of 100,000 to attack Zhoushan in eastern Zhejiang, and fought with the army of Lu Jianguo in Ningbo Mansion."
"Oh?" Wang Huan frowned: "Why is there no news from the imperial court about this?" ”
"Wang Yingxiong's letter arrived today, and the news from Zu Tianci arrived in Datong at the same time, and it is estimated that the emperor did not mean to let us know." Li Dingguo said: "Zu Tianci has received tens of thousands of Chen Jin's troops, stationed troops in Suzhou and Hangzhou, do you want to .....?"
"Not necessarily!" Wang Huan said categorically, making a gesture of resolutely waving his hand: "This is Emperor Yongli's distrust of us, and we don't need to interfere." Lu Jianguo is stubborn, delusional to seek the position of the Son of Heaven, is a careerist, but has no ability to be the emperor, Zhang Mingzhen is loyal, but without the assistance of Zhou Gong, he can't become a climate, and King Lu will be defeated. ”
Li Dingguo glanced at Wang Huan meaningfully, and said: "Once King Lu is defeated, Duke Huiguo will kill him, and the emperor is the only one who is qualified to be the emperor in the world." ”
"So we don't have to interfere." Wang Huan didn't look back, and continued: "The royal family affairs, let them go and break it by themselves." ”
Li Dingguo's eyes flashed, a trace of joy flashed, and he smiled imperceptibly.
"Gone?" Wang Huan walked a few steps, didn't hear the sound, and asked strangely.
Li Dingguo's eyes flickered, his expression hesitated, and he wanted to say goodbye. Seeing that, Wang Huan couldn't help but stop his steps and looked at him.
"My lord, the last general is thinking, the princess is newly married, the Tartars are coming again, the distance is too close, will it be ......" involves Wang Huan's private affairs, which is a taboo behavior, even if he is as close as Li Dingguo, he has to swallow and vomit.
Wang Huan looked at him, squinting his eyes, and his face was grim.
Li Dingguo became more and more uncomfortable, bowed down and said: "This matter is just a general's speculation, for the sake of the overall situation, there is only this to say, if the adults have no such intentions, they will take what Dingguo said, as a gust of wind, blow it over." ”
There is no one in the four places, quiet and serene, there are firecrackers outside the compound and the sound of firecrackers explodes far away, the festive gongs and drums faintly come, some people are doing happy events, and the noise sets off the more solemn here.
Wang Huan took a long breath, walked over slowly, approached Li Dingguo's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Dingguo, who knows me, I didn't say anything about this, you guessed it, it's really amazing." ”
Li Dingguo's eyes flashed wildly, his eyebrows were overjoyed, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "Really, really? My lord, is that really the case? ”
Wang Huan nodded slowly, looked far away, and looked at the sky: "Yes, I want to take over Da Ming reasonably, so that everyone has to choose me, no one can say that I seek power and usurp the throne, everything is taken for granted." ”
He bowed his head and said word by word: "I, I want to be the regent of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
