There is a house in Zhending City, Hebei Province, twelve into the outside with eight side courtyards, the high eaves corridor in the house is tactful and tortuous, the small bridge is shady with trees, the rockery fish lake is readily available, although the decoration is not luxurious, but the graceful atmosphere, it is not an ordinary rich house at a glance, presumably the life of the people in the house, I don't know how many people in this city envy.

In April, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and it is already hot, and people are lightly clothed, which is the time of the year to forge ahead. However, in recent days, the mansion has lost its former vitality, and the people in it, whether master or servant, are often unsettled and worried, which makes the atmosphere of the whole mansion seem oppressive and uneasy, and there is no due vigor. If the door is from the door to the door, it is only a short time.

Dial the curtain, looking at the huge "Li" character on the plaque of the mansion, the Zhending assassin in the alley ordered the person to stop the car, his face was gloomy, his eyes flashed, he didn't know what he was thinking, but it was definitely not the person who was thinking about how to talk to the mansion as in the past.

"My lord, how did you stop here?" The retinue came near and obeyed.

Zhending stabbed Shi Yang Fengzhi with a fat head and big ears, he wrapped his hands in front of his abdomen, squinted his eyes and muttered: "This official is not entering the mansion." ”

"Your Excellency is wise! So let's just go back like this? The attendant Zhang Ruiheng bent down and asked.

"You can't make this trip in vain. In this way, you send someone to guard this place, closely monitor it, and if there is any change in the people in the house, report it to the official in time! Yang Fengzhi's eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Zhang Ruiheng immediately admired, and then was puzzled, "My lord, why do you want to spy on the Li Mansion?" If the adults are suspicious, it is easy to take down the Li Mansion! ”

"You know what!" Yang Fengzhi snorted coldly, and said lukewarmly: "The chief manager is not effective in Yedu, and now he is stranded in Xiangzhou and does not return to the court. It would be unwise to act rashly at this time. You and I look at the situation, if the manager really sits on the name of rebellion, it is not too late for you and me to immediately arrest the people in the house, and the credit will naturally be in hand at that time. But if the charge is not true, you and I cannot offend the noble person in advance, otherwise his life will be lost! ”

Zhang Ruiheng suddenly realized, "This is the best of both worlds!" After speaking, he did not forget to add a sentence immediately, "My lord is really wise!" ”

In the mansion, Cao washed his face with tears, took Li Yongning's hand, and sobbed: "Yongning, how is this good!" Your father fought for the country all his life, how could he collaborate with the enemy and rebel against the court, he has always been loyal and upright, and he will never do this! ”

Li Yongning was dressed in a plain skirt, holding Cao's hand tightly and said comfortingly: "Since my mother knows that my father will not rebel, why should I worry? ”

"Yongning, you don't know, people's words are terrifying!" Cao's sorrow is undiminished, "Although your father is a loyal minister, but in recent years he has been full of His Majesty's suspicion, and this time the campaign is not effective, so that he is almost imprisoned, forced by thieves, although he has escaped from the dangerous place, but after this twist and turn, His Majesty may not believe your father's innocence!" ”

Li Yongning was silent for a moment and said: "Mother, at present, the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, isn't it Your Majesty's immorality?" If His Majesty really didn't give his father a way to live, and his father fought all his life, he was bold and mighty, how could he sit still and wait to die? The mother does not have to worry too much, the father will know how to choose. ”

Cao Shi was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes showed disbelief, "Yongning, even you think so?" You also think your father will rebel? ”

"Where is this rebellion?" Li Yongning said, she sighed softly, turned around and walked to the window, looked at the peony that was waiting to bloom outside the window, and said: "My father has been loyal to the country all his life, and he has made outstanding achievements. But what kind of treatment has my father been treated over the years? From Jing to the Tang Dynasty in the northern Xinjiang, and the Khitan thieves fought fiercely, did Your Majesty give a soldier? ”

She turned around, looked at Cao's family, and said seriously: "If it's just me, what is the current scene in the world of Datang?" The place suffered a disaster and the court did not provide relief, the people suffered and corrupt officials were rampant, the soldiers were loyal to the country but could not eat, the wealth of the world was all in the private pockets of traitors and the palace, there were frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, there were countless people selling children and women on the street, and the people were not able to live so far, is this the world that my father and Congjing wanted to get in exchange for the rest of their lives? ”

Cao Shi was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and looked at Li Yongning in a daze, as if he knew her for the first time, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly grabbed Li Yongning, "Yongning, this is a big rebellion, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Li Yongning sat beside Cao's side, "Mother, I just feel worthless for my father and Congjing, where does it mean anything else?" Mother is relieved that with my father and Congjing, my Li family will be fine. Mother, you have to believe in them! ”

Looking at Li Yongning's firm eyes, Cao Shi was stunned for a long time, nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

At night, Cao and Li Yongning were still talking together, and suddenly heard that the servant had come to report that Li Congke had returned.

"How could the third brother come back at this time?" Li Yongning pulled the Cao family out and met the dusty Li Congke in the atrium.

Li Congke was only dressed in plain clothes without armor, and when he saw that the Cao family had greeted him first, he didn't wait for everyone to ask each other, and he didn't care about resting, so he said bluntly: "My father fought in Yedu, and lost because of the villain's rebellion, Li Shaorong falsely accused my father of collaborating with the enemy, and the court listened to Li Shaorong's words and did not allow my father to argue." The current father had to stay in Xiangzhou and continue to defend himself. In order to prevent the mother and sister from being harmed by adulterers, the child was specially ordered to pick up the mother and go to Xiangzhou! ”

Cao's body shook, and the matter had developed to the point of taking over the family to be protected in the army, how could the Cao family not know, she forced her composure and asked Li Congke seriously: "San'er, you tell your mother, whether your father plans to?"

"Mother!" Li Congke interrupted Cao's words, his face sad, "Your Majesty has been deceived by traitorous ministers, and his behavior is chilling. No matter what the father does, it is for self-preservation! ”

Cao Shi closed his eyes, too sad to say more, but said: "The situation is like this, it is all the will of heaven, what can people do?" ”

Li Yongning helped Li Congke up, "Third brother, when are we leaving?" ”

"I came here in hiding, and I have a lot of dreams at night, so I need to leave immediately!" Li Congke said, "The city gate guard has some friendship with me, and I can go out of the city at night, as long as I go out of the city, everything is easy to say!" ”

Li Congke wanted to take the people of the Li Mansion to escape, and Yang Fengzhi soon learned of the news, but when he gathered good people, the people of the Li Mansion had already left the mansion. Yang Fengzhi immediately led the hundred and ten sergeants to chase all the way, and in front of the city gate, he finally caught up with the Li Mansion and his party and surrounded them.

Under the reflection of the torch, Li Yongning's face was a little pale, Cao Shi opened the curtains, and when he saw the scene outside, his face changed, Li Congke stood in front of the team, looking at Yang Fengzhi walking over with his hands in his hands.

Seeing Li Congke, Yang Fengzhi showed a playful smile, "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be the third general of the Li family, but I haven't seen it for a long time." When the three generals arrived in the city, they didn't come to have a cup of tea with this seat, but they made this seat sad. ”

Li Congke stared at Yang Fengzhi coldly, displeased, "Yang Fengzhi, you surrounded me and others for no reason and blocked my way, what does this mean?" ”

"What do you mean? This official is completely kind! Yang Fengzhi smiled and said, "What, the three generals have just entered the city, and they are leaving?" I don't know where the three generals want to go? ”

"I will act, but I need to explain it to you!" Li Congke scolded sharply, "Do you still want to block the way of the general?" Get out of the way! ”

"Yo yo, the three generals are not right, there is a curfew at night, and idle people are forbidden to move around, don't the three generals know?" Yang Fengzhi held his big belly and didn't smile, "Third general, you are usually domineering, and you don't have an official in your eyes, so that's it, but if you break the curfew at night, this official has to enforce the law!" ”

Li Congke held the handle of the knife, took a step forward, and said coldly: "Yang Fengzhi, I was about to go out of the city, if you want to stop it, you can stop it?" Just rely on you, a hundred and ten shrimp soldiers and crab generals? ”

Yang Fengzhi smiled, his eyes rolled, "The three generals are going out of the city, of course this official doesn't dare to stop them." Then he said, "But the people of the Li Mansion can't go." ”

"What did you say?!"

Yang Fengzhi sneered, restrained the hippie smile, and then raised his head and said sharply: "This official recently received a report from the palace that Li Siyuan is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason!" Since Li Siyuan's family is on the territory of this official, they naturally have to obey the imperial court, how can they let you take it away? Li Congke, you are a member of the army, and the official can't help you, but the Li family, no one wants to go out of the city today! ”

Speaking of this, he said with a sneer: "If the three generals want to break through, just come, there is a huge Zhending city defense camp, this official wants to see, can't he stop a group of women who are powerless?" If the three generals don't believe it, just try it! ”

Li Congke's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't dare to act rashly, what Yang Fengzhi said was true, he couldn't act recklessly.

Li Yongning went to Li Congke's side and said in a low voice: "Third brother, if you go back at this time, Yang Fengzhi will definitely send heavy troops to guard the mansion, and he will never be able to go out of the city one day!" ”

"Sister, don't I know about this? However, it is not easy to fight your way out of the encirclement, if you miss, your mother

Seeing this, Yang Fengzhi sneered: "Don't hide it from the third general, at this moment, this official is looking forward to your move." Once this happened, the Li family was firmly established as a rebel. This official is willing to share his majesty's worries and capture the rebels and thieves! "Laughing.

smiled, stared at Li Congke, and said with a grim face: "Since you don't do it, don't pestle in front of this official!" Someone, escort Mrs. Li back home! ”

"Order!" Zhang Ruiheng had long been eager to try, and when he heard the rumors, he immediately recruited and brought people over.

Li Yongning's hands and feet were slightly cold, and Li Congke's forehead was bulging, and he held the handle of the knife tightly.

"Let's go home." Cao's voice came from the carriage, "My Li family is full of loyalty, my father fights inside, my son fights outside, as a wife, mother, brother and sister, how can I tired his name and put him in danger!" ”

"Mother"

"Go home!"

Zhang Ruiheng walked up to Li Congke with a knife, looked at him and smiled contemptuously, then looked at Li Yongning, and said with a smile: "Li family lady, I have admired you for a long time, how about it, go back home with me?" ”

With that, he stretched out his hand to Li Yongning.

Li Yongning's eyes showed murderous intent.

Li Congke's horizontal knife is about to be unsheathed.

At this moment, a scream rang out.

Zhang Ruiheng hugged his arms and let out a howl like killing a pig. On his wrist, there was a sharp arrow!

Everyone was shocked, Yang Fengzhi looked around, "Who is it?" Who dares to be so presumptuous and kill the life of the court"

Halfway through the words, the rest couldn't say anything more, because Yang Fengzhi had already seen that on the roofs on both sides of the street, they were already covered with archers, and sharp arrows were facing him!

"Who?" A majestic figure walked out behind everyone on the roof, and sneered, "Military Intelligence Department, peach is dying!" ”

"MI is"

"Shut up, I'm not interested in listening to you." Tao Yaoyao jumped off the roof and walked to the carriage that was besieged by Tuantuan, and as she appeared, countless Tsing Yi rushed out of the street, surrounding Yang Fengzhi's people. Yang Fengzhi's face was pale, and Tao Xiaoxiao didn't look at him for half a minute, "As for why the Military Intelligence Department is here, what right it has to meddle in real affairs, or even plot rebellion, it's better for you to swallow it back and save your energy." ”

"You" Yang Fengzhi trembled with anger.

"Because" Tao Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Fengzhi, "I'm just the opposite, what can you do at this time?" ”

Yang Fengzhi's face changed greatly when he heard this.

Tao Yaoyao smiled coldly, "If you think you still have a city defense camp to mobilize, you might as well look outside the city." The Hundred Battles Army has just defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, do you think how many soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army are needed to break through Xiaoxiao Zhending? ”

"Li Congjing of the Hundred Battles Army is here?!" Yang Fengzhi only felt a chill down his spine.

"My military commander is the most filial, presumably Yang Tingshi has also heard of it, in order to save his mother, he can do anything." Tao Yaoyao said lightly, "Of course, none of this is important. The important thing is that if you dare to act rashly at this time, I promise, your life will be lost immediately! ”

After saying this, Tao Yaoyao raised his hand and ordered the military intelligence department: "Disarm!" ”

"Now, is Yang Tingshi willing to send me out of the city?"

"Yes, yes, yes! No, the lower officials should be served! ”
