Chapter 232: Siege and Interception
Liu Yuanqingshang was tasting the pastries he bought, this person was a little hypoglycemic, and he was often dizzy, so he liked to eat sugar, and he had to eat several catties of pastries a day, which did not match the shriveled appearance of this person. When I came to the Central Plains Dynasty, I saw that there were so many kinds of pastries, and I tried them one by one, but I still thought that the hibiscus cake was delicious, but it was a bit expensive.
"Oh no, no, my lord, we're surrounded." Someone outside ran in in a panic, these days, they didn't dare to go out, only in the yard behind the shop. Unexpectedly, the action has been leaked.
Liu Yuanqing's heart tightened, he was choked by the pastry, and coughed for a while before he blushed and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"I heard from them that we harbored the traitors of the former dynasty here, and all of them were arrested and interrogated." The subordinate replied in a panic, his eyes panicked, and he didn't know what to do? They had not been in Middle-earth for long, and they were very nervous. If they can't complete the task, they have to be disemboweled, and they don't want to die.
"Do you just surround our store?" Liu Yuanqing felt that this excuse was a bit far-fetched, if it was to search for the rebels of the previous dynasty, it would never be possible to search only their Ruyi Furniture; If only one of them is searched, it proves that there is a problem, and there is only one possibility that they have leaked.
"Yes, and there is also a signal from the beauty residence, and it seems that something has happened." The servant replied, looking panicked.
Liu Yuanqing immediately made a decision and said; "Rush out at all stops and rendezvous at our third secret rendezvous." After Liu Yuanqing finished speaking, he pulled out his arrow and began to break through.
Everyone got the news and had to fight to break through.
Although Li Yexu has surrounded this place, those who are strong in martial arts still sneaked out a few, and Liu Yuanqingshang is one of them. There were fifteen dead people and eight alive. Li Yexu did not come in vain this time.
In order to prevent the eight people from biting their tongues and committing suicide, Li Yexu removed their jaws and put them in a prison in Dingzhou Mansion for torture.
"How's it going?" The eldest grandson Chong was busy for a day, and came over at night to ask specifically.
"These people were sent by Inugami Yamada last time, Inugami Mita was robbed of the rice seeds of a Tang Dynasty people's family last time, and after returning to the Wa Kingdom, the trial planting was successful, and now I want to get more rice seeds and get the support of the emperor. So he sent someone over to buy more rice seeds. The reason why I haven't left until now is because I saw that we Datang attach importance to cotton seeds, so I didn't go back immediately. Li Yexu interrogated from the mouths of these people.
"Inugami Mita, that old boy, can still go back alive! Is there anything else besides that? The eldest grandson smiled at him. Thinking of the tough on the surface and scheming on the inside, Mita Inugami is scheming.
"Several people fled. However, we have already learned from them that the next stronghold is in a village near Oyanagi Village, called Koyanagi Village. We've sent someone to chase after us. I'm sure someone will report it soon. Li Yexu replied.
"Koyanagi Village?" The eldest grandson Chong was surprised, "In the vicinity of Daliu Village, isn't that close to Muxiang?" ”
Li Yexu's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Eldest Sun, you said that with the alertness of Liu Muxiang, will you find out?" ”
"You think Mu Xiang is a fairy! If you do. Mu Xiang will naturally make a move, and if you can't meet it, then you can't blame Mu Xiang! "The eldest grandson Chong defended his future concubine for the first time. Although Liu Muxiang's martial arts are very high, Changsun Chong doesn't want Liu Muxiang to encounter it. I don't want the willow incense to be in the slightest.
"Hehe, I'm not talking about it, the martial arts of the future sister-in-law are the highest among the people I know." Li Yexu patted the horse's ass and slapped it on the horse's leg.
"It's good that you know, so many people ran away today, we can be regarded as a surprise." Changsun Chong sighed, he didn't expect that so many people had been filmed and still hadn't caught them all.
"It's all the little brother who is not doing well!" Li Yexu was ashamed.
"It's not your fault, there are ordinary people around, it's good to be able to catch so many, and there must be people with high martial arts in this people." Changsun Chong understands that he is not a simple person who can sneak to Datang to perform a mission.
A soldier ran over and whispered in Li Yexu's ear.
"Brother Changsun, I also tortured from a person's mouth that one of their missions this time was to assassinate Changsun Chong, because they could get cotton seeds, so they didn't do it, for fear of alarming us." Li Yexu hurriedly got the news.
Eldest Sun Chong's eyes widened and asked, "Is this news confirmed?" ”
"Sure!"
Thinking of the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty last time, if it weren't for him, he might still be able to mix well in the Tang Dynasty. Because he intervened, the Tang envoy was sent away in a hurry in embarrassment, which not only failed to complete the task, but also aroused the disgust of the Tang Dynasty.
"Hehe, I know, it must be Inugami Mita to take revenge on me." Changsun Chong figured it out, hehe, since you have already set your sights on me, then don't blame me for being unkind.
"Brother Eldest Sun, when you go out to do things, it's best to bring more with you." Li Yexu reminded, "This time they bought a lot of rice seeds, which have been shipped away, and I have to send someone to track them down." ”
Li Yexu didn't know that these rice seeds could only be eaten, not made into seeds.
"No, those rice seeds can't be planted, they can only be eaten." Changsun Chong explained.
Li Yexu hadn't said anything like this before, so he asked curiously, "What's going on?" As long as it is not cooked, moldy and rotten, it can be made into seeds. ”
The eldest grandson Chong whispered in Li Yexu's ear: "The original seeds of these rice have been made of hands and feet, and they can only be used once. The harvested rice has lost its growth function. ”
"Your Majesty! They are busy snatching things back, but in the end they can't sprout, and the bamboo basket is empty! Li Yexu sighed, Jiang is still old and spicy, such a situation has long been thought of by His Majesty, no wonder Grandpa and a group of wise and brave elders were subdued by His Majesty.
"Hehe, I know, then it doesn't need to be thankless." Changsun Chong said, "Track down those who escaped. ”
"Yes, eldest grandson!" Li Yexu was excited, without the frustration just now.
Liu Yuan Qingshang went straight to the third stronghold, hoping that someone would escape this time, so that it would be easier for him to do things. Running wildly all the way, not daring to approach the road, and not daring to hurry during the day, only daring to walk at night.
Finally, it took two nights to arrive at Xiaoliu Village, knocked on the door of a house at the entrance of the village, and the people inside saw Liu Yuanqing, and quickly opened the door, and when they saw that there was no one around, they immediately closed the door.
There were already three people inside, and Liu Yuan Qingshang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's good to be able to escape." We waited until evening, and if no one came, we hurried to the fourth stronghold. ”
One afternoon, three people came, one of whom was injured, but fortunately it was not serious.
"Lord Liu Yuan, what should we do now? Without money, we simply have no way to buy rice seeds. One of them asked worriedly, knowing that he wouldn't have waited for the cotton seed.
Liu Yuanqing patted this person on the shoulder and said, "If there is no money, then we will rob it!" There are seven of us, and one person carries fifty pounds, and there is no problem. Liu Yuanqing also regretted in his heart, he shouldn't be greedy enough to swallow the elephant.
"So where are we going to grab it now?"
"Of course, I went to the farmer's house. It's a bit far from the sea, we can't grab it! When it gets dark, we will rush to Dengzhou, believing that there will be a lot of rice seeds in the vicinity. Liu Yuanqing said in a deep voice, thinking of the fate of Inugami Mita before, he must go back with rice seeds, otherwise he will not die if he goes back. If it weren't for his family in Dongying, maybe he wouldn't be ready to go back, and the richness and prosperity of Datang would have been dazzled.
"Yes, good!" Several people agreed.
At night, now it is almost the fifteenth day of August, and the moon in the sky is shining on the ground, and you can see the figure not far away.
Seven people hurriedly came out of the house, they were going to Dengzhou, they were going to pass through Daliu Village.
Today is Xiaomei's birthday, and it is Liu Muxiang's rare good friend, so she took the two fine fabrics that Changsun Chong gave her and gave them to Xiaomei as a birthday gift. When I arrived at Xiaomei's house, I saw that there was a big box in Xiaomei's room, and asked curiously: "Xiaomei, I didn't have this box last time, did I buy a new one?"
Xiaomei lowered her head and said shyly: "I didn't buy it, it was a birthday gift from Liu Hai." ”
"Oops, that's not bad bangs. In addition to giving gifts, this Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't there a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival? The willow wood thief asked with a smile, he liked to tease Xiaomei.
"Hehe, it's sent, the other box is the Mid-Autumn Festival, in my father's house." Xiaomei said with a smile, thinking of tall and strong bangs in her mind.
"Well, the bangs are still a little colored. I heard the eldest grandson and young master say that they have already bought a house, anyway, you are all married, it is better to get married as soon as possible, don't wait until next year. I've heard that Liu Hai's stepfather once took care of the eldest grandson and young master to intercede, and wanted to get married early. Liu Muxiang told the content of the letter that the eldest grandson Chong wrote to her.
"But if I get married, only my father and my mother are left, and I can't bear them." Xiaomei sighed.
"What's this, in fact, you can sell the field, and then buy a house near your brother Liuhai's house, so that you can take care of it nearby." If you can't buy a house, then live with you, Liu Hai once said that you will be sent to your father and mother for the elderly. Liu Muxiang reminded.
"I'm afraid that there won't be enough rooms to live in, and they haven't been there for long since they arrived, so there must not be any good houses." Xiaomei is worried.
"You don't know this, your brother Liu Hai has a house, a big quadrangle, a main house, partial houses on both sides, and more than a dozen houses, not enough for your family of four to live in?" Liu Muxiang persuaded.
"Are there really so many?" Xiaomei didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask your father and a few people in the village to go and see it together, don't you. Anyway, it's not far, it's two days back and forth. ”
"Well, that's good, I'll let my dad take a look at you, and by the way, I'll send two clothes to Brother Liuhai," Xiaomei said happily. (To be continued......)
