Chapter 096: Fishing in Troubled Waters
When the bonfires all over the mountains lit up like stars, Li Linfu sat in the tent, looking at Qujiang Pond, which was illuminated like day by the bonfire, and felt a palpitation inexplicably. Those bonfires that were lit up in the wind reminded him of the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty and Li Zaixing's prophecies.
Chang'an will usher in a catastrophe, is it possible?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no possibility at all, but Li Linfu still can't let go. When he thought of An Lushan, he felt an indescribable uneasiness. That's right, although An Lushan has a heavy army now, it doesn't mean that he will rebel, but there is a reason why he is so peaceful, and one of the reasons is that he is afraid of himself.
If I die, will An Lushan still be in peace? If I die, the successor prime minister will definitely be Yang Zhao, who can't control An Lushan at all with his ability, and maybe he will be in cahoots with An Lushan. When An Lushan grasps the initiative, will he still be so peaceful?
I can't die, I can't die. Li Linfu clenched his fists and comforted himself secretly, but his palpitations did not relieve anything, but became more and more intense.
Steward Jiang suddenly hurriedly walked in, his face was pale and his eyes were anxious.
"What's the matter?" Li Linfu frowned, he didn't like people to be so out of shape so much.
"The real person is gone." Steward Jiang wiped his shiny forehead with his sleeve, and the cuffs suddenly became wet.
"What?" Li Linfu couldn't believe his ears, and the fingernails held in his sleeves pinched into his palms, and there was a tingling pain, but he didn't notice it.
Steward Jiang said it again, Li Linfu suddenly raised his eyebrows, and stood up: "How can this be reasonable, how can my vacant child disappear?" Find it for me! ”
Steward Jiang wanted to cry without tears. Of course, he knew how serious it was for Li Tengkong to disappear. Before reporting to Li Linfu, he had already sent someone to look for the surroundings. I learned that Cui Zhao'er had come to visit him more than half an hour ago, and he also sent someone to Cui's house to ask. However, Cui Zhao'er said that she came to Li Tengkong to ask her to help chant the scriptures and blessings. After only saying a few words, she put down the fruit and left, and they didn't notice anything unusual when she saw Li Tengkong.
"I asked the guards, and what Cui Zhao'er said was true. I also found fruit in the real person's account, and the real person also ate one, so it can be seen that the real person was still in the account at that time. Steward Jiang raised his arm and wiped his oily forehead, and the corners of his sleeves suddenly became wet. Although he is a member of Mrs. Li Linfu's clan, he is also very nervous at the moment. He knew very well how much Li Linfu loved Li Tengkong, and now that Li Tengkong had disappeared inexplicably, no matter what the reason, he couldn't calm Li Linfu's anger.
Unless you can find Li Tengkong.
But he didn't know where Li Tengkong was now, how to find it? In the future, the only way to share the responsibility is to find a scapegoat.
"Xie Guanglong is also gone."
"Xie Guanglong?" Li Linfu's eyes shrank, "Where did he go?" ”
"I don't know, after he was assigned to the perimeter guard, he disappeared. Some people say that after Cui Zhao'er left, Xie Guanglong never went out in the real tent. Steward Jiang said cautiously: "Could it be ......?"
"Elopement?" Li Linfu sneered, and said sarcastically: "How can my vacant child be able to look at a ranger." ”
His voice was loud, but he wasn't a little confident. He knew that Xie Guanglong was willing to go to the Li family because Xie Guanglong liked Li Tengkong. And Li Tengkong can't say that he doesn't feel anything about Xie Guanglong, otherwise she wouldn't cover up for Xie Guanglong, and let him enter the Li family as a guard. Li Zaixing's ability to advocate in front of them that Lushan and Hengyue are holy places for cultivation was also implicated by Xie Guanglong. Now is the Shangsi Festival again, it is the best time to elope, to say that Xie Guanglong took Li Tengkong away and flew away, it is not impossible at all.
Li Linfu was very angry, he let Xie Guanglong enter the mansion as a guard, because he suspected Li Zaixing and wanted Xie Guanglong to be bait to lure Li Zaixing out. never thought about it, but let Xie Guanglong kidnap his daughter. This is really stealing chickens and rice, how can he Li Linfu bear it?
"Find me and find Xie Guanglong." Li Linfu roared in a low voice, like an angry lion. "Get my vacancy back unscathed!"
"Whoa." Steward Jiang didn't dare to disobey, he paused, and then suggested: "Do you want to transfer Bai Xiaode and the other four back?" ”
Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "Transfer two back, let Yang Wei be careful, don't let people take advantage of the loophole." I can only talk about it later, and I will talk about it first. ”
"Whoa."
"Li Xiang wants to give up this game?" Yang Wei was puzzled, why did Li Linfu suddenly change his plan? He didn't believe the reason that Steward Jiang said that the time was not ripe, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Son of Heaven. Now is the wild, it is a good opportunity to lure the assassin to the bait, and the plan has progressed to this point, success or failure may be tonight, Li Linfu has no reason to give up suddenly.
Steward Jiang has a hard time. Li Tengkong's sudden disappearance, and possibly eloping with a ranger, is not a glorious thing. The truth must not be told to Yang Wei, and the search for Li Tengkong and Xie Guanglong is destined to be carried out only in secret, and it is impossible to make a big fanfare, otherwise Li Linfu's face will be lost. Therefore, knowing that Yang Xun would not believe his reasons, he could only insist on it.
Yang Xun had no choice but to let Steward Jiang take away the two white-clothed people, looking at the remaining Bai Xiaode and another middle-aged white-clothed bearded person, he couldn't cry or laugh, helpless. Although he knew that Li Linfu did not tell him the truth, he had no way to think about it.
The initiative was never in his hands.
Li Zaixing looked at the Li family, who was as calm as ever, but there was a faint atmosphere of unease, and laughed silently.
This plan is an improvised plan, not well thought out, not thorough. In his opinion, there is nothing to weigh, killing Yang Wei and Li Linfu, completing the task assigned by the Li family, and getting the truth of his life experience is the only goal. If it weren't for the fact that Li Shi asked him to retreat before he dared to give him an answer, he didn't even need to make such a big effort, just kill the door, and then go away to the end of the world.
Now it's different, he not only has to pick himself clean as the Li family requested, but also keep a useful body, and go to the Western Regions with Al Maidi to make contributions, relying on Yang Guifei is just the beginning, he still needs to do a lot.
And the most important thing is to ensure his own safety, the body is the capital of the revolution, he knows this very well. No matter how ambitious one may be, when a person dies, there is nothing.
robbing Li Tengkong was just a stone for him to test Li Linfu. He very much wanted to take this opportunity to assassinate Yang Hui, but he was worried that Li Linfu would use Yang Wei to lay a trap and wait for him to take the initiative to jump in. He kidnapped Li Tengkong in order to disrupt Li Linfu's deployment, so that he could not guess his plan, but he could see Li Linfu's arrangement.
He didn't believe that Li Linfu would sit back and watch his daughter go missing, he would at least arrange for someone to find him, so that there would be a lot less protection around him, and his chances would be much greater.
Al Maddy hurriedly walked over: "Steward Jiang has come back from the direction of Yang Wei's curtain with two white-clothed people. ”
"Two?" Li Zaixing raised his eyebrows: "There is indeed a trap there." ”
Al Maidy nodded, scared. If it weren't for Li Zaixing's fear, the two of them would have plunged into Li Linfu's trap today. Even if they can fight their way out, they will not be able to settle down in Chang'an in the future, and the little hope of recovering the country that Zhong Cao just saw will be extinguished like fireworks.
"Let Xie Guanglong leave." Li Zaixing smiled: "He can't stay in Chang'an anymore." ”
"Let's go." Li Zaixing stuffed a heavy blanket into Xie Guanglong's arms: "Li Tengkong may be missing, the Li family suspects that she eloped with you and is looking for you everywhere." ”
Xie Guanglong was stunned, and the wine he had just drunk turned into a cold sweat, and came out through his body: "Li ...... A real person is missing? ”
"Hmm." Li Zaixing nodded: "The Jiang steward of the Li family has just sent someone to ask the little lady of the Cui family about Li Zhenren. Although he didn't say what was going on, he looked nervous, and listening to the meaning of his words, it was likely that he was missing. Just now, someone came to ask about your whereabouts, and we prevaricated it. Still, I think they'll be back soon. ”
He paused, and looked at Xie Guanglong suspiciously: "It can't be your appointment, right?" ”
Xie Guanglong was speechless, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Where could he make an appointment with Li Tengkong to elope, and he had drunk too much wine just now, and his brain was a little confused at this time, and he couldn't distinguish what Li Zaixing said.
At this time, Al Maidi hurriedly walked in and handed a sachet to Xie Guanglong: "A young woman came outside just now and said that she would hand this over to you. ”
Xie Guanglong took it and exclaimed: "This is Li Zhenren's personal sachet." He pinched it, took out another note from it, showed it, and immediately stood up excitedly.
There were four words written on the note: Xinfeng, Haishi.
"I'm going to Xinfeng." Xie Guanglong couldn't wait to say: "Li Zhenren is waiting for me in Xinfeng." He said as he went to get the clothes that had been set aside. Li Zaixing grabbed it: "At this time, you are still wearing this clothes, aren't you killing yourself?" ”
Xie Guanglong looked at the clothes of the Li family's guards who were stained with wine, and also understood: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Wearing my Longwu Army's costumes, few people dare to stop you." Li Zaixing handed over a brand new set of Longwu military uniforms.
Xie Guanglong was grateful, and took it without thinking. After a short time, he followed Li Zaixing, mixed with the guards of the Longwu Army, and quietly left the Yang family's enclosure.
Standing on the hillside, watching Xie Guanglong ride his horse and disappear into the valley in a hurry, Li Zaixing and Al Maddy glanced at each other and laughed in unison.
"Master, what next?"
Li Zaixing stretched out his arms, took a long breath, and the bone joints of his whole body erupted into a bead-like crisp sound.
"Let's go to the whistleblower and ask Li Linfu for a reward."
