Chapter 0204: Deception
Li Zhong hugged his fists, "Back to the general, the last general went to Susong City, he was invited by Li Shun, the master of Lu Zhi County, and said that it was a new Xiangwei building in the city, general, you know, the last general has been following the general all these years and has not returned home, this, at this time, I was homesick, just, I followed him?" The last general's words are true, and I hope that the general will read on the old feelings and fall lightly."
Zhang Razi nodded with a sneer, "Li Shun invited?" Not really, did you invite someone else? ”
Li Zhong didn't know that he was clearly seen by the general about sitting at the same table with Zhao Junma in Xiangwei Building, and he also knew that it was a big taboo for him to go to see General Zhang's master privately, so he held a trace of luck and never mentioned that he had seen Zhao Junma.

"General, there is only Master Li, and he also specially bought some gifts for the last general to take back to the camp and taste the specialties of Susong with the brothers," said Li Zhong, and held up the things given by Li Shun in front of him.
Zhang Rake slapped the handsome case, "Li Zhong, Li Zhong, I have trusted you for so many years, I didn't expect you to do such a thing and leave the camp without permission, I don't embarrass you, but you deceive General Ben, I can't keep you" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Razi's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Li Zhong is a subordinate who has followed Zhang Rake for many years, and when he saw the general's expression, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, it seemed that the general heard something, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and moved a few steps forward, "The general is angry, the last general, the last general is truthful."
Zhang Rake's eyes were horizontal, "Say, dare to hide another word, you know the consequences"
Li Zhong sorted out his clues, and wanted to make things as inconsequential as possible, "General, the last general also saw another person in the Xiangwei Building."
Zhang Rake stood up, took off a long sword he usually used from the weapon rack on the side, and played back and forth, "Who, what did you say?" ”
Li Zhong said, "Zhao, Zhao Junma, but it was a chance encounter, Zhao Junma said that he went there to go to Lu Zhi County, and he didn't say anything by chance, but Lu Zhi County never came, and he left after a few casual chats."
Li Zhong didn't lie a word, he didn't dare not tell the truth in the murderous face of this rake.
Zhang Rake pulled out his long sword, pointed at Li Zhong at the end of the sword, and slowly walked towards him, "Such a coincidence?" Lu Zhixian invited Zhao Junma, there are many nonsense, don't you know that Lord Lu came to the barracks to work today? Where did he invite Zhao Junma, even if he really invited someone to the banquet, how could he forget such a big thing, Li Zhong, you are not honest"
Li Zhong panicked and said anxiously, "The last general's words are true, if the general doesn't believe it, he will know as soon as he asks Zhao Junma."
As soon as Zhang Rake heard that he was angry, could he go and see Zhao Junma casually? The resident general is looking for death when he meets his relatives and nobles privately, not to mention that because of this matter, he went to confront the county master, but he didn't dare to rake it.
"I ask you!" Zhang Rake kicked Li Zhong to the ground, "Say, why did you see Zhao Junma, what do you want to discuss?" What are you calculating? Zhang Rake was suspicious.
Li Zhong snorted and fell to the ground, quickly got up again, and knelt on the spot, "General, the last general didn't lie, it was indeed just a coincidence of small talk."
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Zhang Rake made another plan, so he shouted outside the tent, "Someone is coming"
Several relatives entered the account in response, "General"
Zhang Rake pointed at Li Zhong and said, "Li Zhong went out of the camp without permission, violated my military order, severely punished twenty military sticks, demoted to centurion, five days later as the first peak to attack the mountain, I hope you can atone for the crime, do you accept it?" ”
For Li Zhong and Zhang Rake, it is inevitable to kill him, no matter whether he and Zhao Junma really met by chance or had another purpose, he only chose to kill by mistake and never let it go, however, Li Zhong has been a deputy general of the Chinese army for many years, and he can't kill him so rashly, but it is easy to kill him by war.
Li Zhong also understood when he heard this punishment, either he died in military law or died in front of the battle, the latter was a decent way to die, and he hated himself for not being able to control his greed for a while, because this little thing took his life, but fortunately, he could taste the taste of his hometown before he died, and he could be regarded as smiling Jiuquan, so he had to hang his head and arch his hand, "The last general is willing to atone for his sins"
Zhang Rake waved his hand and "take it down"
punished Li Zhong, Zhang Rake was still not at ease, and quietly thought about the cause and effect of the matter, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was too strange, as if everything was a coincidence, Li Shun invited Li Zhong to a banquet in Xiangwei Building, and Lu Zhixian also invited himself to drink opposite Xiangwei Building, which was a coincidence, and Zhao Junma appeared in Xiangwei Building, all of this happened to come together, how do you feel that this thing is arranged by someone, who will it be? Li Zhong? It's unlikely, this person has never had any scheming, and besides, it is impossible for him to invite the county master with his face; Lu Zhi County? If it's him, then what is his purpose? Is it really better to befriend a middle-level officer like Li Zhong than to befriend yourself? Then Zhao Junma, what is the purpose of his doing this? Thinking of this rake, he suddenly stood up.
"Yes, yes, Zhao Junma" Zhang Rake walked back and forth in the tent, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes secretly belly, he thought of Lu Fei's words in the Shouchun Restaurant, crossing the river and breaking the bridge, using people as guns, yes, yes, there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests, he Zhao Junma let himself secretly get rid of Lu Zhixian, and the death of Lord Lu will definitely attract the investigation of the imperial court, so many years I Zhang Rake knows a lot of Zhao Junma's unsightly deeds, he will definitely get rid of me, yes, yes, it's him, he re-supports one, This person is Li Zhong, and he wants Li Zhong to replace me.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and hurriedly walked out of the barracks to look around, he always felt that there were eyes staring at him everywhere in this barracks, and any soldier could be collected by Zhao Junma, maybe he would lose his life when he slept one day, he was nervous, so he jumped on the war horse, whipped the horse, and galloped to Susong City, at this time he felt that this Lu Fei might be the only person he could help, because he heard Lu Fei say that he had a very good relationship with King Ning, and wanted to ask King Ning through him, and he Zhang Rake still had the value of use.
The sky gradually darkened, Lu Fei was lying on the recliner in the back garden and swaying back and forth, Li Shun stood behind him and shook the fan unhurriedly, and told him what Li Zhong said, he drank a lot of wine today, he was a little dizzy, but he was also very happy, things seemed to be going well.
Yun Niang brought a bowl of decanting soup.
"Xiaofei, drink this" Yun Niang had lived in this county government for more than half a year before, and she didn't feel restrained.
Lu Fei raised his eyes and looked at the decoction in her hand, and frowned, "Is it medicine again?" Spare me."
Yun Niang disagreed, raised it directly to his mouth, and said as if ordering, "Hangover, drink it more comfortably"
Lu Fei had no choice but to repeat the old trick, pinched his nose and poured it down, and opened his mouth again.
Yun Niang giggled and put a dried plum in his mouth.
Li Shun said on the side, "Master, this matter is not to be delayed, we have to make the matter of Zhao'an a fact before General Zhang attacks the mountain, so as to avoid the disaster of using troops."
Lu Fei was holding a plum in his mouth, his drunkenness was fading, and he smiled and said, "Wrong, we have to do nothing, and it will be delayed until after the twenty-eighth."
Li Shun was puzzled, "If you don't do anything, do you watch Zhang Rake level a mountain?" That's not what you think, sir."
Lu Fei waved his hand, "Of course not, you, you are too careful, the mountain is just an introduction, a big fart, what I want to do is a big thing to completely change the current situation"
Li Shun hurriedly asked, "What does the master want?" ”
Lu Fei smiled and didn't answer, but Yun Niang seemed to have guessed a few points, sat down in front of Lu Fei, and said softly, "Xiao Fei wants to borrow a knife to kill people?" ”
Lu Fei did not refute.
Li Shun was shocked, "Borrowing a knife to kill someone? Kill whom? Whose knife to borrow? ”
Lu Fei smiled mysteriously, "It will be clear in ten days, oh yes, master, General Zhang will come in a while, you go to the yamen to greet you"
"Didn't General Zhang just return to the barracks? It's getting dark, what is he going to do? How did you know he was coming, sir? Li Shun really couldn't figure it out.
Lu Fei was very strange, "Yun Niang, how did you see it?" ”
Yun Niang Wan'er smiled, "You asked me to go to Shouchun Restaurant today to charter a room on the second floor in advance, and I just heard that Li Shun was banqueting General Zhang's lieutenant opposite you, it's not difficult to guess, such an obvious counter-plot, Xiaofei, aren't you worried that General Zhang will see it?" ”
Li Shun suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
Lu Fei smiled, "He will see it sooner or later, but it must not be now, because even if he sees it now, he will not think of me, I am not a threat to him, compared to the two, Zhao Junma is his direct threat, you must know that he is a general who fights, the two armies are at war, if he is not expected to win, he must be defeated first, he will definitely prepare for the worst"
Yun Niang nodded admiringly, "Well, but this is not enough to make things happen."
"Of course, so Zhang Rake will come again, we still have enough work"
Lu Fei has already touched Zhang Razi's temper, greedy, brave and scheming, suspicious, dare not offend the powerful, this can be used, and when Li Zhong and Zhao Junma appear together, it will definitely make him suspicious, and in Shouchun Restaurant, Lu Fei deliberately scolded Zhao Junma in front of Zhang Rake, to show that the two are not the same heart, in the officialdom, either friends or enemies, it is impossible to be alone, and now Zhang Rake is worried that Zhao Junma will harm him, the two are enemies, and the enemies of the enemy can be friends, Zhang Rake must understand this truth, so it is logical for him to come to Lu Fei.
Li Shun came to the yamen suspiciously, and the night was dark, and the sound of horses' hooves came along the street.
Zhang raked the reins and dismounted, and Li Shun hurriedly said, "Yo, General Zhang, why are you here so late?"
"Where's your county master?" Zhang rakezi threw the reins into Li Shun's hand, and walked directly towards the back office without waiting for him to answer.
As soon as Li Shun left, Lu Fei asked her, "Yun Niang, since you can guess my thoughts, do you think it's right for me to do this?" ”
Yun Niang stood in the position where Li Shun was standing just now, cranked the fan, and said slowly, "The success is in the sky, and the plan is in the people, as long as you are not selfish, so that some means are also upright and invincible."
Lu Fei smiled knowingly, "Selfish? Yes, you're right, if you don't have selfishness, you won't look ahead."
Yun Niang nodded, "The eldest husband acts informally, you have always thought so and done this, so Xiaofei, you don't care about Yun Niang's thoughts at all, you just want someone to tell you that you are doing the right thing, so that you have a clear conscience"
Lu Fei wondered, what is this Yun Niang's heart made of, how can people be smart to this, Yun Niang is right, Wang Zhongren is dead, although he died in the legal net and did not leak, but Lu Fei and him have no grudges, if Lu Fei's plan succeeds, Steward Hu will die, Zhang Rake will die, the most innocent is Li Zhong, Lu Fei doesn't want to kill anyone, but for the long-term peace and stability of Susong, the people are rich, and for his own fame and fortune, he can only do this, if he fails, he will die without a place to be buried, It also involves the Ling sisters on the mountain and more than 200 bandits who are bent on the right path.
Yun Niang continued, "People have loyalty, treachery, good and evil, things are black and white, Xiaofei, you are a good person, no matter what you do and think, you have good thoughts in your heart, this is enough, my father has his duty in this life, he is cautious as an official, and he is clean, and in the end he can only leave a false name of incorruptibility, but he can't do anything about the current situation of Su Song, but he has forced himself to death."
Lu Fei turned his head suddenly, "What! Do you know your dad is dead? ”
Yun Niang snorted, "My father was forced to leave his post without permission, the emperor will not tolerate it, but Yun Niang has always been unwilling to accept this fact."
Lu Fei slowly stood up, stretched out his hand to put his arm around her shoulder, and patted her gently, "Your father will not die in vain, one day I will let the emperor give him justice."
Yun Niang did not object to his move, leaned on his arm, and sobbed softly, "Xiao Fei, what you did today is what my father wanted to do but didn't dare to do, you have courage and ambition, the people here will remember your good in the future, if you suffer because of the misfortune for the country and the people, Yun Niang is willing to accompany Xiao Fei to the big disaster"
Lu Fei hugged him tighter, his lips rubbing against Yun Niang's forehead, "With your words, any consequences are worth it"
In the lonely garden at night, this warm scene seemed to another person like being poured a basin of cold water from the head in winter, Ling Dan lay on the courtyard wall of the garden, her heart was trembling, the sword in her hand was also trembling, an inexplicable hatred surged all over her body, she stared at the two people snuggled together in the garden, and slowly straightened up.
Suddenly, a voice came, and Ling Dan hurriedly attached his body to find his reputation.
"Ah, Lu Zhixian, it's not the right time for me to come, come back another day, come back another day" Zhang Rake heard Li Shun say that Lu Zhixian was in the garden, so he hurried over, but he didn't expect to see this one in front of him, and pretended to turn around and leave.
Li Shun followed him, and he was busy and turned his head not to look.
Yun Niang hurriedly suppressed the sobbing, wiped the tears on her face, escaped from Lu Fei's arms, and squatted down to salute Zhang Rake, "I've seen the general, you talk, Yun Niang will serve you tea."
Lu Fei laughed, "General Zhang is coming to visit at night, it must be a big deal, where can I entertain guests in the garden, master, please come to the flower hall for tea, I will change my clothes and come later, the general please"
Li Shun took Zhang Rake to the flower hall, and only the two of them were left in the garden.
At this time, Yun Niang looked at Lu Fei, her face flushed, and she was embarrassed.
Lu Fei looked at Yun Niang and suddenly realized, it turned out that Yun Niang has two different sides, she is a female Zhuge when solving problems, and in the face of various emotions, she is as sentimental as Lin Daiyu, tender as water, who said that wisdom and tenderness cannot coexist, Yun Niang is the best combination of the two.
Yun Niang lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lu Fei's eyes, rubbed her hands and turned around and said, "I'll go serve tea to the general."
"Don't worry, let him wait, now let him wait as long as he wants" Lu Fei smiled and stretched out his hand to pull her back, hugging her tightly in front of his eyes, the two looked at each other, Yun Niang's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look directly, and her heart was beating wildly.
Lu Fei stared at Yun Niang's touching blushing face with a wicked smile, and slowly said a sentence that Li Shun taught her to please Yun Niang, "Pink makeup and jade are pretty, and Yiren is hugging in the back garden; Lang Qing and concubine have no love, when will they be able to sleep together? ”
Yun Niang was messy, she didn't expect Xiao Fei to write poetry, and it was such an affectionate courtship poem, she became sluggish at this moment, she didn't know how to answer, and said hesitantly, "Xiao Xiaofei, you still write poetry?" ”
Lu Fei's eyes were full of emotion, "No, but an expert in my hometown said that when people face love, their hearts are always full of poetry, and I am like this now."
Yun Niang lowered her head, her eyes blinking rapidly, "Who is the expert?" ”
Lu Fei leaned down and whispered in Yun Niang's ear, "It's me......" His voice was very soothing, full of ambiguity and tenderness.
Yun Niang's resistance was fading, her hand was against Lu Fei's chest, the cartilage in her whole body was growing, and she was at a loss.
Lu Fei moved his lips and slowly slid along Yun Niang's ear to the hot cheeks, tasting the faint aroma all the way.
"Xiaofei, do you know what the general came to you for?" Yun Niang's reserve finally made her use her last strength to push Lu Fei, who was about to slide to her red lips, away, and she changed the topic in a panic.
Lu Fei was still unsatisfied, and pursed his lips, "Ah, what? What did he come to do? Of course it's here to pull me up."
Yun Niang was slowly calming down the frenzy in her heart, shook her head and said, "Why are you so sure?" ”
"I have given him two signals, one is that I have an irreplaceable identity in King Ning and Zhao Junma, and the other is that I am not an accomplice of Zhao Junma, I hate him, if Zhang Rake believes that Zhao Junma wants Li Zhong to replace him, he will definitely come to me to deal with Zhao Junma together"
Yun Niang smiled and walked a few steps, "Well, it's hard to argue between truth and falsehood, so that General Zhang will not dare to be unfavorable to you and let him treat you as an ally against Zhao Junma, do you think so?" ”
"Well, that's right, is there anything wrong?" Lu Fei thought he was seamless.
But I didn't expect Yun Niang to smile and shake her head, the shyness on her face just now has completely disappeared, "Of course there is, General Zhang is a general who has fought for more than ten years, even if Zhao Junma wants to harm him, he will not pull you, although he will show this idea on the surface, but in his heart he must not think so"
"Why?" Lu Fei was puzzled.
"General Zhang, with heavy troops in his hands, and the official is up to the fourth grade, how can he help him by pulling you into a seven-rank magistrate? Although Zhao Junma has no power or position, but the backer behind him is King Ning, although King Ning is not in the court, he can secretly influence the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, in the face of such a big force, General Zhang really wants to protect himself, and it is impossible to pull Xiaofei You as an ally" Yun Niang said very easily, it seems that she knows every move of the entire Tang Dynasty well.
Lu Fei nodded secretly, "Then what did you say he came to me?" ”
"It's hard to say, but Yun Niang can guess, his thoughts will never be separated from these two points, one, show goodwill, and pull you on the surface"
"Well, what about the second?"
"This second point, he is self-aware and will never be an enemy of Zhao Junma, but he wants to make meritorious contributions in front of Zhao Junma and regain trust, so what will he do?"
"yes, how?"
Yun Niang smiled slightly, and suddenly said with a straight face, "He will kill you!" ”
Lu Fei was taken aback, "Kill me?" Why, and what's in it for him? ”
Yun Niang shook her head, "It's not good, but he will create a good"
"I don't understand," Lu Fei looked puzzled.
"The life and death of a magistrate is insignificant in the eyes of General Zhang and Zhao Junma, but it can be used, in this Susong County, in addition to his Zhao family, you have the highest status, so General Zhang will take you to Zhao Junma, I don't know how to do it, but it must be for you to kill in the eyes of Zhao Junma, and then he will come forward to get rid of you, so that he can regain trust in front of Zhao Junma" Yun Niang seems to take assumptions as something that will happen.
"How is this possible? That rake is just a simple-minded general with developed limbs, can he have this kind of mind? Lu Fei was very unimpressed.
Yun Niang was solemn, "Xiao Fei, you are too light on the enemy, a general who has survived a hundred battles, even if he is clever, he also has outstanding points, you must not underestimate him, today he just guessed that Zhao Junma would be unfavorable to him and fell into your trap, it won't take long for you to come back to your senses, he will understand this little trick"
Lu Fei nodded slowly, still Yun Niang was prescient, "You mean he's also using counter-plots?" Will it make me and Zhao Junma completely turn against each other? ”
"Yes, your counter-plot is just to get rid of General Zhang's right and left hand Li Zhong, but he came directly at you" Yun Niang said indifferently, as if this was not what he was talking about.
Lu Fei laughed, "It seems that Yun Niang, who is a smart person, also has a hundred secrets and a sparse time, and my counter-plot is not aimed at a small person like Li Zhong."
Yun Niang smiled, "Yun Niang, where can you compare to Xiao Fei's clever calculation, it's abrupt"
Lu Fei laughed, "Okay, you can rest, I'll go and meet this rake, by the way, when will you have to sleep together, my talented girl"
Yun Niang's mouth was full of words, and her face was red, "Xiaofei! He turned and ran away.
Lu Fei was triumphant, and walked towards the flower hall, and Ling Dan, who was outside the courtyard wall, also turned over and entered the garden, and followed towards Yun Niang's room.
