Chapter 046: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Although he believed that An Lushan had an IQ advantage in the face of him, Li Linfu was still not very at ease with An Lushan.
It's not that I'm worried that he will rebel, but I'm worried that he will enter the phase, which is contrary to his original intention of reusing the generals.
Among the border generals who are currently highly used, An Lushan is the one who is the most adept at catering to the Son of Heaven, and his cunning makes it hard to believe that he is a Hu man. Whether it is Gao Xianzhi in Anxi or Ge Shuhan in Longyou, their ability to command troops may not be weaker than An Lushan, but their level of being an official cannot be compared with An Lushan.
The Son of Heaven's favor for An Lushan is simply unbelievable, and Li Linfu is worried that it will not be long before An Lushan may surpass his power and become the prime minister of the court, threatening his existence.
After all, he is old, and his life is rare for seventy years, and he doesn't know how many years he can live.
There was a sound of soft footsteps from the hall, and it stopped outside the door. Li Linfu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Is it vacating?" ”
"Yes." A crisp female voice said.
Li Linfu hesitated: "Come in." ”
Li Tengkong walked in slowly. She was wearing a Taoist crown, a Taoist robe, and a whisk in her hand, standing at the door, looking at Li Linfu quietly, with pity and unbearability in her eyes.
"Daddy, planning again?"
Li Linfu smiled, gave way to the side, vacated half a seat, patted it, and motioned for Li Tengkong to sit down. Li Tengkong pursed his lips and smiled, leaning on Li Linfu and sitting down. Li Linfu rested his arm lightly on her shoulder, just like when she was a child.
The princess prayed for An Lushan's new house, but suddenly disappeared. Vacate, can you calculate, is it auspicious or vicious? ”
Li Tengkong lay on Li Linfu's lap, was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed softly: "Daddy, you are tired, why don't you retire and recuperate?" ”
Li Linfu was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was stroking Li Tengkong's shoulder also froze. He understood what Li Tengkong meant. Ten years ago, he would not ask God for divination, but now he asks because he is old, tired, and has no self-confidence, so he pins his hope on ghosts and gods. Retreating bravely from the rapids may be the only way to preserve his wealth, and if he continues to fight, he will become more and more tired, less and less confident, and sooner or later it will be a defeat.
His eldest son Li Xiu also said this.
Li Linfu smiled, a little bitter. He didn't understand this truth, but could he retreat? At this point, does he have any other choice but to push forward one step further? When the crown prince Li Heng ascends the throne, where will he still live.
"Take off, it's not that Daddy doesn't want to retreat, it's that Daddy has no way to retreat at all." Li Linfu sighed lightly: "In the final analysis, the prime minister is still not close enough to the Son of Heaven." If it weren't for Colliers' words, how could we be today. The eunuchs interfere in politics, the prime minister has light power, and it is a sign of chaos in the country. ”
Li Tengkong was speechless.
……
On the bell tower of Bodhi Temple, Li Zaixing and Xie Guanglong sat side by side on the railing, their legs hanging outside the railing. Li Zaixing put his arm around Xie Guanglong's shoulders, drank wine, and said with a smile: "Aren't you having fun today?" ”
Xie Guanglong raised his head and poured a sip of wine: "It's enjoyable, but it's not a small trouble." ”
"What trouble are you afraid of, with Wei Sanlang's goods in front, Wang Zhun can still eat you?"
"I'm afraid that Wang Jiao will be the master of Suo Jingshi, and my brothers will have a hard time."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's a big deal to avoid it for a while, go to Xinfeng to avoid the limelight." Li Zaixing laughed evilly: "Or, brother, give you another good suggestion?" ”
"Any good suggestions?" Xie Guanglong turned his head to look at Li Zaixing, and pouted: "I look at your face, why do you think you don't have a good heart?" ”
"Alas, Da Lang, you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Li Zaixing said seriously, he pointed to the east with his finger holding the wine glass: "Do you know what kind of place it is?" ”
Xie Guanglong hesitated for a moment: "I heard...... It's Jiayouguan. ”
"Do you know who the Lord of Observation is?"
"It seems to be Li Linfu's daughter." Xie Guanglong took a sip of wine and raised his eyebrows: "What, you want to hit her idea?" ”
"I'll forget it, you see that there are no bad women around me." Li Zaixing smiled weirdly: "I mean you." I heard that this Li Guanzhu is still unmarried, and I think it is quite dazzling. You Xie Dalang is a talent, strong in martial arts, if you become Li Linfu's son-in-law, it will not be difficult to enter the prime minister in the future......"
"Hugh is talking nonsense." Xie Guanglong interrupted Li Zaixing with a smile: "For no reason, take out your family to make such a joke, aren't you afraid that the gods in the sky will condemn you?" ”
"Hehe, fairy, maybe there is, but I haven't seen it." Li Zaixing let go of the hand on Xie Guanglong's shoulder, and was silent for a moment: "Da Lang, if you can join the Dragon Martial Army, of course it will be great." If you can't, brother, I'll give you some blood, buy you a set of armored saddle horses, and then send you a coil to serve in the frontier, how about it? ”
Xie Guanglong didn't answer, he looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and suddenly sighed faintly: "It's better to practice martial arts well and prepare for the entrance exam of the Long Wujun." If not, it's not too late to make plans. ”
"It's fine." Li Zaixing drank all the wine in the cup and jumped off the railing: "Go to bed early, I have to get up yesterday to practice martial arts." ”
"You go first, I'll sit down for a while." Xie Guanglong raised his hand, a little excited.
……
After getting off the bell tower and returning to his room, Lu Hu and the three bearded girls were chatting. Al Maddy is recovering well and is able to walk slowly against the wall. Li Zaixing looked at her and smiled with satisfaction: "Julia is so smart, the recovery progress has been significantly accelerated." ”
"It's the master's technique that works, and it's also the medicine that the master gives is good." Julia smiled embarrassedly: "We Cao people have been fighting all year round, and we also have some experience in healing, but compared with the massage techniques taught by the master, it is still a lot worse." ”
Li Zaixing smiled. He came from a martial arts family, and of course he has experience in treating external injuries. Whether it's massage techniques or dispensing, he has specialized in it. often walks in the rivers and lakes, who can guarantee that you will not be injured.
"Elmady, come to the back room."
Al Maddie didn't think much of it, took Julia's shoulders and slowly walked into the inner room. Li Zaixing followed into the house, gave Julia a look, and motioned for her to leave. Julia was stunned for a moment, then realized something, a blush flew on her face, and she hurriedly left with her head down. When she passed by Li Zaixing, Li Zaixing grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear: "Watch the door, don't let people in." ”
Julia nodded in a panic, agreed repeatedly, and slipped out with a weak heart.
Li Zaixing closed the door smoothly. Seeing this scene, Al Maidi also realized something, and lowered his head in a little panic, covering his chest with one hand and tightly grabbing his shirt with the other. Li Zaixing stepped forward, put his hand on Al Maidi's shoulder, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. Al Maidi was startled, raised his hot face, and looked at Li Zaixing: "Really? ”
Li Zaixing nodded, patted her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I want your cooperation, can you do it?" ”
Al Maidi gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes." ”
"Then lie down."
Al Maidi obediently lay on the bed, slowly took off her clothes, got into the quilt, wrapped herself tightly, and then rolled back and forth twice, and the bed board suddenly creaked. At the same time, her lips were slightly open and she let out a seductive moan.
"Ah......h
Li Zaixing smiled, gave a thumbs up to the cloudy Al Maidi, blew out the light, dodged to the wall, opened the window, and slid out like a swimming fish.
Outside, Lu Hu said to Sister Julia embarrassedly: "In that case, then you can sleep in my bed today, and I will find another place to sleep." ”
Sister Julia blushed and nodded, refusing to speak. Although they all knew that Al Maddy was the master's maidservant, and it was inevitable to accompany her, but before Al Maidy's leg injury had healed, the master was impatient to let her accompany her, and the voice was so loud, it was really embarrassing. Although the Hu people said that they were open, hearing this kind of voice with their own ears still made them unaware of how to deal with themselves.
Sister Julia was embarrassed, and Lu Hu was also speechless. and Li Zaixing walked all the way from Hengshan to Chang'an, and I have never seen Li Zaixing in such a hurry. But it's understandable that Li Zaixing is eighteen years old, has been living in the temple, and has no chance to get close to women, and now with such a beautiful orchid maid, it is not surprising that he is anxious to experience the joy of the bed.
……
Just when Lu Hu and Julia sisters were guessing wildly, Li Zaixing had already taken advantage of the night to sneak out of the Bodhi Temple.
Li Mi's plan is good, but it depends on whose point of view. Li Mi wanted to take this opportunity to bring down Wang Jie, and even drag Li Linfu into the water, but Li Zaixing's purpose was not this, what he wanted to find was his own life experience. Encouraging Li Mi to make a big fuss is just to make the water muddy.
The mudier the water, the more people involved in it, the more he can hide in it.
When he left the Prajna Temple, the master asked him to go to the Chang'an Bodhi Temple to place an order, and he didn't think about it so much. When I arrived in Chang'an, I knew that the Bodhi Temple was in the southwest corner of Li Linfu's house, and later, I knew that the second senior brother Juehui was the Duvina of the Bodhi Temple, and the Bodhi Temple had a bell tower, so I could condescendingly view the layout of Li Linfu's house, especially the Bodhi Temple would go to Li Linfu's house every year to hold a fasting party and pray for Li Linfu's birthday.
Since he was not allowed to come directly to the door to confess his relatives, he will naturally not be Li Linfu's descendant, and it is more likely that he is an enemy. After standing on the bell tower and observing the overall situation of Li Linfu's house, he came to a conclusion that if he wanted to find out Li Linfu's whereabouts, it was far from enough to stand on the bell tower and look at it.
If he wanted to find Li Linfu, he had to sneak into Li's house to investigate, and the first target he chose was Jiayouguan in the northeast corner of Li Linfu's house
