Chapter 373: Twists and Turns
"I haven't seen General Chen Zhonglang!" The face of the person who came in was very unfamiliar, but the voice felt quite familiar.
Chen Xuanli got up and said, "I don't know what General Gao's general order?" β
"This ......" the visitor glanced back at the soldiers behind him, but did not speak.
"You go down first!" Chen Xuanli waved his hand to the soldiers.
After the soldiers went down, Chen Xuanli said: "Now you can say it!" β
"I don't have much to say, I'd like to hear what you two have to say?" The visitor suddenly laughed.
Ge Shunfu felt that something was wrong, he took out his saber from his waist and asked viciously, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? β
Chen Xuanli's face showed a look of joy, and he saluted the person who came: "Subordinate Chen Xuanli see the King of Lantian!" β
"What? Lantian King? Ge Shunfu looked at the visitor suspiciously.
"Hahaha, it is said that Chen Zhonglang's heart is as careful as hair, and when I saw it today, it was really worthy of his reputation!"
Ge Shunfu really listened to it this time, it was really Li Tao's voice, and he was overjoyed: "Lantian King, it's really you, you are ......"
Li Tao smiled: "If I don't disguise myself, wouldn't it make people suspicious when I came to the barracks rashly?" β
Chen Xuanli hurriedly asked, "How is King Linzi doing over there, where is Wang Maozhong?" β
"Everything is ready on the side of the King of Linzi, the key is your side, I am not at ease, so I came in person and let Wang Maozhong stay with the King of Linzi." Li Taomian told a lie without changing his face, if he said Wang Maozhong at this time, it would inevitably affect the confidence of the two of them, so it was better not to tell them like this.
"With the Lantian King here, we are relieved!" Ge Shunfu was not a compliment. He still recognizes Li Tao's ability.
"Let's talk about it, what's the situation of the Right Feather Forest Army now?" Li Tao asked directly.
Chen Xuanli said: "Empress Wei sent his cousin Wei Cheng to be the general of Right Yulin, and this person does not know how to buy people's hearts. Instead, he commanded his subordinates at every turn, and for the sake of tree authority, he found fault with the soldiers in the barracks at every turn, and then served with a military stick. To be selected to become a member of the Yulin Army, all of them are by no means idle, and how can they stand Wei Cheng's arrogance when they are arrogant. In just a dozen days, the contradictions between the soldiers of the Right Yulin Army and Wei Cheng have accumulated more and more. β
"Lao Chen is right!" Ge Shunfu added on the side: "After the soldiers were inexplicably wronged. They would all come to me and complain to Lao Chen. Seeing our brothers always innocently suffering grievances, we don't feel good in our hearts, but for the sake of big things. I can only endure it first.
Li Tao nodded and said, "So, as long as the two of you speak, the soldiers of the Right Yulin Army will definitely listen to the two of you, not Wei Cheng's?" β
Chen Xuanli and Ge Fushun immediately said happily: "The two of us use the head guarantee. As long as the king of Lantian and the king of Linzi are willing to stand up for us. It's a pity that we're smeared on the ground. β
β¦β¦
Finally dealt with the affairs of the Right Yu Lin Army, it was already dusk when Li Tao returned to the inn, and Li Shen was already waiting for him restlessly.
"What's going on again?" Li Tao asked with a frown.
"King Linzi asked you to hurry over!"
"What's wrong?" Li Tao's heart tightened.
"It's said that there is a problem with Zhong Shaojing!"
"There's a problem with Zhong Shaojing, this is not easy to do!" Li Tao muttered to himself.
It turned out that in the evening of that day, taking advantage of the dark sky, Li Longji led Liu Youqiu, Song Jing, Li Yide and others to sneak into the forbidden garden in the north of the palace. What did they do? I went to find Zhong Shaojing.
Zhong Shaojing is the director of the Forbidden Garden, and the location of the Forbidden Garden is quite important. Directly north of the entire Miyagi Castle, and the southernmost point of the Forbidden Garden is the north gate of the Miyagi Castle. After entering the north gate, it is where the emperor's harem is located. Li Longji and the others wanted to take advantage of this treasure to direct a coup d'Γ©tat near Zhong Shaojing's house.
But when Li Longji arrived at the door of Zhong's house, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, but Zhong Shaojing refused to open the door. Li Longji said all the good things, but Zhong Shaojing was indifferent.
Li Longji could not force his way in, because that would inevitably alarm the defenders not far away, and he could not go back, so he could only freeze in place, so he had no choice but to ask Tong Zhaoxiang to quickly ask Li Tao to find a way.
β¦β¦
Just when Li Longji was at a loss, Li Tao finally arrived.
"Tao'er, what's going on over there with Chen Xuanli?" Li Longji was overjoyed when he saw Li Tao.
"There is no problem on the right Yulin side, everything is going according to plan. How is Zhong Shaojing's side? β
Li Longji smiled bitterly: "I said that he just didn't open the door." β
Li Tao nodded and said, "Let me come!" β
Li Tao walked to the door and knocked on the door: "Director Zhong, I'm Li Tao!" β
There was still no sound inside.
"I think that at the beginning, Director Zhong was not afraid of the powerful and generously spoke to me for the sake of Zhou Bo's case, and it was your courage that infected me, so I rescued Zhou Bo. It is precisely for this reason that I introduced you to the King of Linzi, and it is also out of trust in you that the King of Linzi did not hide from you this time. You also know what our action means for Datang and what it means for the country's social welfare. You also agreed to this action. But where are we doing this now? β
There was still no sound inside.
Li Tao slowed down his tone: "Director Zhong is a five-grade Beijing official, his official position is not low, his salary is not low, and he can often write two strokes for people, and he can get some pen money, and his small life is very nourishing." I can understand your concerns and fear of taking risks. But have you thought about it? Isn't my life with the King of Linzi as good as yours, and what are we taking this risk for, so we don't think about the consequences? I'll tell you the truth, if you are so unreasonable, after the coup d'Γ©tat is successful, it will be your time of death. Even if the coup fails, you often walk in the palace of the king of Linzi, and you must be implicated by this, do you think Wei will let you go because you did not open the door for the king of Linzi? You have to bear this risk, and you have to bear it if you don't have to bear it, how can you hide if you want to? β
Li Longji secretly stretched out his thumb to Li Tao on the side, first moving with affection, then with righteousness, and finally with Ming's interests, so Zhong Shaojing had no choice.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Tao's words fell, the door of the Zhong family opened.
Zhong Shaojing appeared in front of everyone with a ashamed face, and he knelt in front of Li Tao and Li Longji with a puff: "Zhong is a ghost, and he is ashamed of the two county kings." β
Li Tao stepped forward to help Zhong Shaojing up: "If you know your mistakes, change them, Director Zhong is still a true gentleman." β
After that, Li Tao said to Li Longji: "Third uncle, go in." Tao Er left first, everything went according to plan, and success or failure was decided in one fell swoop. β
Li Longji nodded.
"I'm waiting for your good news!" Li Tao's voice came from afar.
