Chapter 373: The Best of Both Worlds
Li Zhen said: "Brother-in-law, first invite Mr. Liu over to discuss the strategy of rescuing my sister." ”
Without waiting for Wang Xiaoyang to speak, Li Zhen directly instructed the attendants to invite Liu Taiping.
Wang Xiaoyang sat on the chair, as if a nail had been placed under his buttocks, like a needle felt, and after sitting for a while, he stood up and walked back and forth in the study, sighing from time to time. Li Zhenjing sat quietly, leaning his hands on the desk, quickly turning his brain, thinking about ways to rescue Li Xiaotong. Li Zhen's heart was also very anxious, but Li Zhen knew that the more critical it was, the more calm he had to be. If everyone is in a mess, they can only be led by the nose by the Japanese ronin.
When Li Zhen thought about it, his heart was already full of murderous intentions.
Heaven and earth headed by Chen Qiankun will be forced to have no way out, and none of them will affect the innocent. This group of Japanese ronins kidnapped Li Xiaotong by unscrupulous means, using Li Xiaotong as a threat, which has touched Li Zhen's scales.
Liu Taiping walked in and asked, "My lord, what happened?" ”
Li Zhen handed the letter to Liu Taiping and said, "Sir, the matter is very important, you must come up with a way." ”
Liu Taiping took it, glanced at ten lines, and quickly read the content of the letter. After being silent for a moment, Liu Taiping said: "This matter is indeed a bit tricky, because Miss Li is in the hands of Fusang Ronin, and adults are passive. The biggest headache is that the Fusang ronin took the guns and ammunition, and he can also hold Miss Li away with it. ”
Wang Xiaoyang said unwillingly: "Is there no way?" ”
Li Zhen said: "It's about my sister's life, Mr. must think of a safe way." Although Li Zhen is attached to this body and has nothing to do with Li Xiaotong, after getting along for a while, Li Zhen gradually got used to having such a sister and enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.
Liu Taiping shook his head and smiled: "There is no safe way, there is a risky way." ”
"What's the solution?"
Li Zhen and Wang Xiaoyang asked at the same time, both of them with eager expressions.
Liu Taiping took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said slowly: "Miss Li is in the hands of the Fusang Ronin, and I can't determine Miss Li's whereabouts, so I can only give guns and ammunition, and I can only go to the meeting." The old man thought that when he went to the meeting, he had to bring the army, and once the Fusang ronin took the guns and ammunition but wanted to take Miss Li away, the adults pretended not to care whether Miss Li lived or died, and coerced the Fusang ronin. As long as the adults are ruthless, this ploy will definitely work to ensure that Miss Li gets rid of the Fusang ronin. ”
"No way!"
Li Zhen and Wang Xiaoyang denied it at the same time, but they both resolutely did not adopt it.
Wang Xiaoyang blamed: "Mr. Liu, you are always an old man by Hongyi's side, full of strategies and schemes, how can you come up with such a bad idea." If Tongtong has three long and two short, what should I do? No, this ploy doesn't work. ”
Li Zhen asked, "Sir, is there any other way?" ”
Liu Taiping shrugged his shoulders and said, "The only way that the old man can come up with is this method, and whether to adopt it or not is up to the adults." ”
Li Zhen's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed: "Is there really no other way?" ”
Liu Taiping still shook his head and sat quietly in the study drinking tea. He has already pointed out a path for Li Zhen, and how to choose depends on Li Zhen's own decision. As for Li Xiaotong's safety, Liu Taiping didn't care about it, he couldn't die anyway, and at most he was injured. Li Zhen and Wang Xiaoyang were unwilling, and they both thought that they could come up with a foolproof plan to ensure that Li Xiaotong would not be injured.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from outside.
Ye Chengxin walked in and said, "My lord, Elder Wei is here, and he is ready to report to you on the operation of Kyushu Daily." ”
"No, no!"
Li Zhen was irritable in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to listen to Wei Yuan's report, so he directly waved his hand to let Ye Cheng refuse. Ye Chengxin didn't know the situation, he looked at the three people in the study, and then at Li Zhen, he didn't understand what happened to Li Zhen, and he didn't see Wei Yuan, who was respectful. Ye Cheng put this thought in his heart, but he didn't say it, and turned around to inform Wei Yuan.
Ye Chengxin was about to walk out of the study, Li Zhen suddenly said, "Slow! ”
Ye Chengxin stopped and turned around to wait for Li Zhen's order.
The look in Li Zhen's eyes changed, but he put on a look of expectation, and said, "Please come in!" ”
Ye Cheng nodded heartily and left the study quickly.
After a while, Wei Yuan's long beard fluttered and strode to the door of the study. Entering the study, Wei Yuan looked excited, and said with a smile: "Hongyi, the sales of Kyushu Daily are increasing day by day, and the scholars who submit articles are ......."
As soon as the words came out, Li Zhen interrupted: "Old Wei, Kyushu Daily has you to deal with it, I don't worry." Now my sister has been kidnapped by the Fuso Ronin, and the Fuso Ronin has asked me to prepare 3,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as two boats. You are old and experienced, is there a way to save your sister. ”
"Fuso ronin?" Wei Yuan asked again.
Li Zhen hummed and nodded.
"A group of would-be robbers dare to make trouble in the Celestial Empire, they are so bold that they should be killed! Damn it! Mr. Wei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, indignant and excited, waved his thin arms, and shouted: "Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the Japanese pirates have been rampant along the coast, and now the Fusang ronin has actually arrived in Guangzhou, and they must be killed to revitalize the country's prestige." Hongyi, lead the troops to exterminate the Fusang ronin, and see that they dare to be arrogant. ”
Wang Xiaoyang looked resentful, and secretly said in his heart that Uncle Wei was less reliable than Liu Taiping.
Li Zhen coughed lightly twice and said, "Old Wei, the current priority is to save my sister, and the second thing is to destroy the Fusang Ronin." ”
Wei Yuan stroked the long hair under his command, his eyes were like electricity, and he said proudly: "Miss Li wants to be rescued, and the Fusang Ronin must also be destroyed, the two are not contradictory, and there is no such thing as which is more important, and we will complete it together." ”
Li Zhen's eyes lit up and he saw the hope of saving people.
Obviously, Uncle Wei had an idea.
Wang Xiaoyang couldn't wait to ask, "Old Wei, what do you have in mind?" ”
Wei Yuan shook off his robe and said unhurriedly: "If you want to destroy the Fusang Ronin and rescue Miss Li, you can do this, first promise to give the Fusang Ronin 3,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, but only provide one boat." The old man expected that the Fusang Ronin would not let Miss Li go, so as long as ,......, operation was done properly, the Fusang Ronin could only become the prey in the hands of Hongyi. ”
"Good strategy!"
After Liu Taiping heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Both he and Wei Yuan's strategies can rescue Li Xiaotong, but Liu Taiping's strategy is more dangerous, while Wei Yuan's strategy is relatively safer, more far-reaching, and the power of the strategy is greater. Once Liu Taiping's strategy succeeds, not only can Li Xiaotong be rescued, but it will not be a problem to destroy the Fusang Ronin.
Wang Xiaoyang bowed to Wei Yuan and said, "Thank you Elder Wei!" ”
Wei Yuan stroked the long hair under his chin, and said to himself: "It is also a great wish of the old man to be unable to destroy the Fusang Wokou. ”
Li Zhen got up and said, "Just according to Wei Lao's plan, I'll arrange it now." With that, Li Zhen hurriedly left the study and ran towards the barracks.
