Chapter 51 Life is proud to defend against enemies, and the moon is bright and ambitious
(Second update.) )
After bidding farewell to Li Cunxian, Li Congjing returned home.
In today's Xingtang Mansion, Wu Jingzhong has been questioned and imprisoned for controlling Pu Shui and greedy for ink, causing the riverbank to burst under the heavy rain, and at the same time, the evidence of impeachment of the Wu family for doing many evils in previous years has also been verified one by one, and many members of the Wu family have been dismissed and imprisoned. At present, the Wu family is panicked.
The struggle between the Wu family and the Li family, everyone in Weizhou knows everything, and now that the Wu family is being questioned, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter has nothing to do with the Li family.
The Wu family, the Weizhou clan, said that if they were knocked down, they would be knocked down, which made the people who were jealous of Li Congjing's achievements stop fanning the flames with interest, and they no longer think about making trips for Li Congjing.
Since Li Congjing can't be suppressed and can't fight with him, for these people, there are only two choices left: either the well water does not interfere with the river water, or he is good friends with Li Congjing.
The former is harmless, but also unprofitable, and the latter is profitable, so many people choose the latter.
Because of this, the number of people who came to visit the Li Mansion by these two people has obviously increased a lot.
And a holy decree that let the Hundred Battles Army go out of Huaimeng and enter the river made those who were still hesitant to make up their minds that they would no longer be embarrassed by the Li family and should be friendly with the Li family. Father and son are both noble, and the son has signs of being better than Lao Tzu, is not such a person blind if he does not associate with him?
Through a war without the smoke of gunpowder, Li Congjing has gained many "friends", and his momentum is like prosperity, as long as he is in the house for the past two days, he is picking up customers. The people who came to visit the Li Mansion gradually reached a consensus imperceptibly: the older generation went to have a relationship with Li Siyuan, and the younger generation went to get close to Li Congjing.
Li Siyuan has been in a good mood for the past two days, Li Congjing is his eldest son, in his opinion, he has always been sensible, and he will not study hard when he is not sensible, and now he has become his arm, how does he see how Li Congjing is pleasing to the eye, and when he meets people, he says, "This kid has the demeanor of Lao Tzu!" When his best friend laughed at him, "Congjing is much stronger than when you were young", Li Siyuan was even more happy, "My son is stronger than Lao Tzu, what else is Lao Tzu unhappy about!" ”
Li Congjing returned to the mansion from Li Cunxian's house, and it happened that Li Shaobin, the commander of Ma Zhidu, came, and the two inevitably gaged and talked about wine.
"Brother Congjing is going back to Huaizhou tomorrow, today my brother is here to see you off, and we will see each other on the battlefield in the future, and you and I can kill the enemy side by side when the time comes, it's really happy!" During the banquet, Li Shaobin said that he was secretly glad that fortunately, when Wu Ming led two or three hundred people to embarrass Li Congjing that day, he did not stand idly by, otherwise what a loss would it be to lose such a thigh? "To tell you the truth, when my brother was straight from the horse, my brother saw that you were extraordinary, haha!"
Originally, Li Congjing was going to go back to Huaizhou after the marriage with Ren's in Weizhou, but now the war is urgent, Wang Yanzhang is very urgent, and after taking the southern city of Desheng, he took advantage of the situation to capture the Tang army's Panzhang, Majiakou, Jingdian and other villages, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Li Cunqiao issued an order, let Li Congjing return to Huaizhou quickly, gather the main force of the Hundred Battles Army, and kill the river from the west, Li Siyuan returned to Yunzhou, and led the army from the east.
For this reason, Li Congjing has set a schedule and will rush back to Huaizhou tomorrow.
Those who have come to visit Li Congjing in the past few days are not only military generals, but also civilian officials. And today's visit by a person surprised Li Congjing, the lupine scarf that came was that Zhang Zheng.
"Li Gongzi is a dragon and phoenix among the people, with an extraordinary bearing, I met in a hurry that day, I miss it very much after farewell, and I always want to come to a gathering, but Li Gongzi is a busy person, lest you have no leisure. Now Gongzi Li is going back to the town tomorrow, and if he doesn't see him today, he doesn't know when he will see him off, so he came to see him off. Zhang Zhengyi's words were extremely sincere, and he completely forgot the embarrassment of losing the fight for a woman with Li Congjing the day before yesterday.
Li Congjing naturally welcomed it, and did not mention it to Zhang Zheng.
Because Li Congjing and Li Siyuan were going to both go on a trip the next day, it was later today, and no one would come to visit and disturb them, so the family had time to have a good meal together, and the family chatted for a long time after the meal, until Cao urged Li Congjing and Li Siyuan to rest, and everyone dispersed.
Li Congjing couldn't let go of the volume, holding a book and reading, when Qiuyue came in to serve, his expression was a little relative, and he seemed absent-minded, and when he added oil to the oil lamp, he even overturned the oil lamp, and the tung oil spilled a lot, and the fire was stained with tung oil, and it immediately burned.
Qiu Yue's coquettish cry alarmed Li Congjing, he hurriedly put down the book, and tossed with Qiu Yue for a long time before extinguishing the fire, and finally nothing big happened. When she was done, Qiuyue's hair was scattered, she was panting, her cheeks were crimson, she was a little cute, she belonged to a girl who was pure to the level of delicate, and she looked like a different kind of beauty at this time.
The two squatted on the ground, Li Congjing saw that her little hands were burned, her sleeves were burned, and she looked embarrassed, laughing, so she pulled her to stand up, fetched water to help her clean and dispose of it, and laughed: "You little girl, since you entered my house when you were a child, you have always been careful in doing things, and you have never made any mistakes, what's wrong today?" ”
Qiu Yue bit her cherry-like lip and hesitated for a while, finally raised her head and plucked up the courage to say to Li Congjing: "Childe, will you take the slave to Huaizhou?" The slave wants to always be by Childe's side and serve Childe......"
Li Congjing smiled, "I went back to Huaizhou, and I am about to go on an expedition, and when this battle is over, I don't know if I will return to Huaizhou." Even if you go to Huaizhou, you won't see me a few times. ”
Qiu Yue was in tears, and she didn't know if it was the pain of cleaning the wound, or something else, "The slave is not afraid, I can always see the ...... of the childe"
Li Congjing rubbed her hair and said softly: "If Liang can be destroyed in this battle, he will move in the future, and he will talk about this later." I thought: If Dong Xiaowan knew that you were going to compete with her for a job, with her hot temperament, I don't know if she would bite you.
That night, after sending Qiu Yue away, Li Congjing began to think about whether the matter of overthrowing Wu Jingzhong would bring sequelae to himself. Nowadays, although you have a moment of scenery in Weizhou, there are two sides to everything, and when you are proud to enjoy the lights of success on the stage in life, maybe there are your enemies hiding in the dark corners and plotting tricks against you.
This is a long way from Weizhou, there is a mansion here, there is no palm lamp in the room, only the hazy moonlight spills in, and there are two people in the room.
A man sits at a table, with his right hand on the table and his left hand on his lap, and he sits upright, even at such a time. He seemed to be used to maintaining this upright posture at all times, no matter who he was facing. For him, always maintaining the integrity and the rigor behind the integrity is not only an instinct honed by his years of military career, but a means to temper his character, and it can even be called a kind of cultivation.
An ordinary person would not be so almost perverted to demand himself, such a person is either psychologically distorted, or has extremely high ambitions and great ambitions. Because how ambitious you are, how strict you will be with yourself.
In front of him, a man was half-kneeling on the ground, his head bowed.
"So, Guo Chongtao became a privy envoy, and Zhang Juhan didn't catch anything?" The seated man asked, his voice was the same as his sitting posture, neutral, and he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
"Yes, General. No one expected in advance that Guo Chongtao would have such detailed evidence of Wu Jingzhong's crime, especially the pushui embankment, which made Wu Jingzhong speechless. It's also a coincidence, Pushui doesn't break the embankment early, and it doesn't break the embankment late, but at this time! Wu Jingzhong fell, without the support of the Wu family, with our strength alone, we really couldn't fight Guo Chongtao. The half-kneeling man said.
"There are so many coincidences in this world, but there are no such coincidences." The sitting humane, the faint moonlight fell on him, outlining his resolute figure.
The half-kneeling man said in surprise: "The general is saying that the Pushui burst the embankment, is it man-made?" This...... How is this possible, how bold it is to dare to dig the embankment of the Pushui River, and those who dare to do so are not afraid of showing their feet?! ”
The quiet moonlight outlined a smile on the corner of the mouth of the person who was sitting, and he still said in a calm tone: "Those who dare to do this are indeed very bold, so big that they are not afraid of anything; And being able to do this without being discovered can only show that this person's ability is enough to support his boldness. Isn't it terrible for a person to have a heart without fear and to have such a skill? ”
"Terrible, terrible!" The half-kneeling man's face turned pale, he was really surprised, but at the same time he was also puzzled, "But general, who would have such a ability?" ”
The person sitting thought for a while, and said slowly: "I heard that when Wu Jingzhong was punished, Ren Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up, and after Guo Chongtao was appointed as a privy envoy, when His Majesty was played in the court, he suggested that the hundred battle troops should be transferred to the front line of Desheng City?" ”
"Yes, General."
The seated man was silent for a while, and after half a sound, he said in a slower tone: "There is such a person who once galloped a hundred miles on a snowy night, accurately attacked a city of the enemy country where the main general was getting married, and killed a thousand people with three hundred people; Another man, in the face of 10,000 enemy troops, made a detour, and accurately attacked an empty city in the enemy country, and not only that, but he also set fire to these 10,000 enemy troops; There is another person, with a few thousand people, against the 20,000 Tianwei Tianwu army led by Dai Siyuan, not only won a complete victory, but also in the war, he was superb, and he pocketed a state city without spending a single soldier. ”
After speaking, he asked the person in front of him, "Are some people like this terrible?" ”
"Terrible!" The person in front of him said honestly.
"But if Ben told you that some of these people are actually human beings, how terrible do you think he is?" After the sitting person asked this sentence, he was the first to be silent.
The half-kneeling man was first shocked, and then lost his voice: "The general is talking about Li Congjing?!" ”
"You're scared?" The seated man glanced at the person in front of him, "If I tell you what's next, you'll be even more scared." Ren Yuan, Guo Chongtao, Wu Jingzhong, everyone has something to do with him, now you know, who dug up the bank of the Pushui River? ”
The half-kneeling man was speechless.
The hands on the table, the fingers flicked lightly, and they tapped on the table one by one, making a crisp sound that made people palpitate in this dark night.
"General, what should we do now?" The half-kneeling man asked.
