Chapter 363: Banquet
Li Shanfu,
"King, Steward Li Linfu asks to see you."
Li Shan was a little surprised, what did Li Linfu's housekeeper mean by asking to see him at this time? Li Shan pretended to leave the capital these days, so the door of the Li Mansion was always closed, and others didn't know that Li Shan was in the mansion.
Li Linfu's housekeeper came to show that Li Linfu already knew that Li Shan had not left the capital. However, this is not surprising, after all, Li Linfu should have received the news about the matter in Yongzhou.
But what does Li Linfu mean by sending someone to ask for a meeting at this time? Showing favor and begging for mercy? Or is there another purpose?
Li Shan didn't know, but Zhang said that there was no movement over there, and he didn't know if his recital had reached the heavens, and Li Linfu should not know about this matter. Then the biggest possibility is that Li Linfu wants to beg for mercy before he reports to the emperor, Li Shan thought so.
"Let him in." Li Shan wanted to see what Li Linfu wanted to do.
Li Linfu's housekeeper said: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, I heard that you returned to Dali a few days ago, but I didn't expect to be in the capital, my lord has long said that he wants to invite you to the mansion to talk, today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, presumably the prince alone is also deserted in the mansion." My lord specially set up a banquet to invite the prince to go and talk about it, I don't know if the prince is interested? ”
Sure enough, Li Shan thought to himself, it must be Li Linfu who wanted to find out his details, so he went to find out his tone. Just to paralyze him carelessly, and then hit him off guard.
Li Shandao: "Okay, since the prime minister invited him, this king is naturally going to go." ”
The housekeeper said: "My lord is waiting for the king of Zhennan." ”
Sending the housekeeper away, Ah San said: "Young master, is it a little inappropriate to go to Li Linfu's house at this time?" Since Li Linfu already knew about the action that came for us, then it must be hostile, and if we go to his house for a banquet like this, I am afraid that this is a Hongmen banquet. ”
Li Shandao: "It doesn't matter if it's a Hongmen banquet, it's not a Hongmen banquet." I want to see what Li Linfu wants to do, with you and Yunfei to protect me, my safety is not a problem, just send someone to respond. If he wants to kill people and kill his mouth, he just shows the fox's tail, but we will have to check him again. ”
Ah San said: "Young master, it's better not to get into danger, you are the lord of Dali, and you can't afford to lose." ”
Li Shandao: "You can rest assured, will you really be stupid enough to do it to me when you are Li Linfu?" Killing me will not do him any good, but will make him fall into an inextricable suspicion, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Linfu to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. ”
In the evening, Li Shan took Ah San and Yun Fei to Li Linfu's mansion.
And Ah San also prepared hundreds of government soldiers to hide around the Li Mansion in disguise, as long as Ah San has a signal arrow, everyone will rush into the mansion to save people as soon as possible.
Li Linfu was waiting in front of the gate early, and he saw Li Shan greet him with a smile: "Oh, the king of Zhennan is here." Please come in, I still think that the king of Zhennan has returned to Dali these days, and he has no time to talk about it, but he happened to get the news, it turns out that the king of Zhennan has not left Beijing, and it is really hard for me to hide it. ”
This sentence must still be Li Linfu's sincere words, Li Shan's trick to hide from the sky and the sea really caught Li Linfu off guard.
Li Shandao: "The Prime Minister is too polite, there are many things to do during this New Year's Festival, and this king is embarrassed to disturb." After all, adults have a lot of opportunities every day, and there must be a lot of things to worry about. If there's anything this king can help, but it doesn't hurt. ”
The corners of Li Linfu's mouth twitched, he didn't expect this guy to be better than himself, and said: "King Zhennan, please come in, I will set up a banquet in the snow reed in the backyard, there are new roe deer meat and venison, please taste it to King Zhennan." ”
Li Shan followed Li Linfu to the mansion, and Ah San followed closely behind Li Shan. Yun Fei naturally couldn't appear on the bright side, but as long as Li Shan was in danger, he would definitely appear as soon as possible.
Ah San observed the layout of the surrounding **** while walking, there were naturally a lot of guards and servants in the Prime Minister's mansion, in Ah San's opinion, these people were not threatening, but he still felt a little uneasy. Ah San has followed Li Shan for so many years, and has always been Li Shan's personal guard, and he has quite a lot of experience in protection, and he instinctively tells him that there are masters in this mansion who are ambushing.
Although Ah San was nervous, Li Shan and Li Linfu were still talking and laughing. Li Shan is not in a hurry, since you want to hide, then I will accompany you to pretend for a while.
"Well, Prime Minister, this venison is delicious and tight, especially with Jiangnan apricot blossom stuffing." Li Shan munched without scruples.
Li Linfu laughed and said, "I have something more delicious here, come on, serve the food." ”
Li Linfu clapped his hands, and two coquettishly dressed and delicate-looking beauties came to Li Shan with two plates of dishes covered with lids. put down the dishes, and did not leave, but knelt beside Li Shan one by one.
Li Linfu said: "Lord Zhennan Wang has traveled south and north to see the world, and he is rich in five cars, I don't know if I know what these two dishes are." ”
Saying that, one of the beauties opened one of the dishes first, carefully selected it for Li Shan to put on a small plate, and said, "Adult, please use it." ”
Li Shan looked at the dish, it was a kind of meat, but it was completely different from the meat Li Shan had seen, a bit like beef, but it was not the same as beef. Li Shan took a bite and tasted the taste, it was indeed delicious, but he really didn't taste what it was. And the other beauty had already poured a full bottle of wine and handed it to Li Shan.
Li Shan took a sip of wine and said, "This kind of meat is extremely peculiar, this king has never tasted it." ”
Li Linfu said: "Haha, this is whale meat, which was specially transported from North Korea, and it is said to be the largest fish in the sea." It's the size of a house. ”
Li Shan naturally knows about whales, but he really hasn't tasted whale meat, which is very novel. I tasted it again, and it was delicious.
"Then please let King Zhennan taste the meat on the second plate."
Li Shan still didn't know what kind of meat it was, and asked, "What kind of meat is this, this king is really lonely and unheard." ”
Li Linfu said with a smile: "This puzzle will be revealed later, and the lower officials invited the king of Zhennan to come this time, in fact, there is something to ask for." ”
The corners of Li Shan's mouth raised, and he said in his heart: Here, you old fox really can't help it, first with wine, food, and beautiful women, I don't know what it will be next?
"Oh, Lord Li, please tell me something." Li Shanhao took a moment to see what Li Linfu would do.
"The king of Zhennan is not as good as playing dumb riddles with the lower officials, the matter that the king of Zhennan investigated in Yongzhou a few days ago, can you put down the officials? The lower officials must be grateful. ”
Li Shandao: "Prime Minister, you should also know the temper of this king, what this king has done has always been to do nothing. In fact, this king does not have any personal grudges with the prime minister, but his political stance is different. If the Prime Minister is willing to confess, this king will intercede for him in front of His Majesty. I believe that adults can resign and retire in a beautiful manner, do you think it's good? ”
Li Linfu said: "As long as the king of Zhennan raises his noble hand, all the actions of the king of Zhennan in the future, this official will definitely give full support." As long as King Zhennan does not hand over the evidence in his hand to His Majesty. ”
Li Shan shook his head and said: "I can give you time to think about it, there are only two paths in front of you, the first is that I will report to the emperor at this time, and after a strict investigation, the Prime Minister may be ruined." The second adult took the initiative to resign, and I can try my best to protect your life in front of the emperor. ”
Li Linfu's face changed, and he said, "Don't you really want to give me a way to live?" ”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the snow luzhong changed, and the two women beside Li Shan suddenly made a difficult move and wanted to capture Li Shan, but fortunately, Ah San had already prepared Li Shan to retreat, and at the same time, Ah San shot and knocked the two away.
Li Linfu shouted: "Come on, take down Li Shan." ”
The sword and axe men who were in ambush around Xuelu killed together, and they killed Li Shan.
Even though Ah San is strong in martial arts, his two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, mainly to protect Li Shan, and he can't use it, so he can only take Li Shan and fight and retreat. In a short time, they were surrounded by swords and axes in the corner, and the archers were even more aimed at the two of them.
Li Linfu slowly walked to the side of the knife and axe hand, and said with a smile: "King Zhennan, the meat of this second dish is human flesh. I gave you a choice, those who cooperate with me can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and those who oppose me can only be used as a side dish. But you really don't know how to lift, then I have to turn my face and be ruthless. ”
At this time, Yun Fei didn't know where to suddenly kill Li Linfu directly, Yun Fei had already pretended to be a guard in Li Linfu's mansion and waited for the opportunity, at this time it was obviously unrealistic to save Li Shan, but if the thief captured the king first, it would be considered a success if he caught Li Linfu. The guards around Li Linfu all focused their attention on Ah San, but they didn't want someone to suddenly come out behind him, and a soft sword was directly wrapped around Li Linfu's neck.
Yun Fei restrained Li Linfu and said, "Don't move, my sword is very sharp, if you are not careful, you will cut off your head, and then you will have to use your own meat for cooking." ”
Li Shan naturally knew that Yun Fei was nearby, so he didn't panic, it was useless to have the thunder in his hand, in fact, he had nothing to fear. smiled: "Prime Minister, do you think you can sit back and relax if you kill me?" Let me tell you, I have reported your incriminating evidence to the emperor, you still have to think about how to explain to the emperor tomorrow in the court. ”
Li Linfu was restrained, his face was full of anger but helpless at this time, and said: "If you want to kill me completely, I won't let you have a good time, let's see." ”
Li Shan smiled slightly: "Okay, let's see." But for now, please send us out now, Your Majesty. ”
Yunfei took Li Linfu hostage and took Li Shan and Ah San out of Li Linfu's mansion safely, Li Shan said: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Lord Li should do it yourself." ”
Li Linfu's face was full of anger, and he didn't speak, he just stared at Li Shan, as if he was going to eat Li Shan.
Li Shan shook his head, Ah San put a signal arrow into the sky, and a carriage came to pick him up, and Li Shan got into the carriage and left.
Seeing Li Shan leave, Li Linfu restrained his anger, his face calmed down again, and two beauties followed him, who were the two who served Li Shan before.
Li Linfu said: "Have you got the thing?" ”
One of the women handed over a jade pendant to Li Linfu, which was a unicorn pendant that Li Shan often wore. Tang people are good jade, and Li Shan is no exception, and jade pendant is often a symbol of status and status.
Li Linfu smiled and said: "Li Shan, you think you are very smart, but don't forget, being smart is mistaken by being smart." (To be continued.) )
