Chapter 142: It's too late to repent
In response to Li Xin's call to save materials, not even a lantern was lit in the courtyard of the yamen, and the clerks, soaps, and miscellaneous servants who worked in everyone's office, including Li Xinzeng, all of whom were smeared and advanced. Although it was already evening, there were many people who went back and forth to deal with official business, and they were busy in the dark. Gu Tong didn't know about such saving matters as the Wei Si Yamen, and when he saw people coming and going in the dark, he didn't light lanterns and torches, he only felt extremely abnormal, and his vigilance gradually rose.
However, Gu Tong is still very determined, with his current strength and prestige, Zeng Dare does not have the strength to fight with him at all. As for the shrunken Li Xin, does he have the courage to intensify the contradiction with himself for the sake of Zeng daring to take advantage of the fire?
He finally couldn't help but slap the table, and when he heard the movement in the main hall, he immediately trotted in.
"Gu Qianhu ordered to summon the small ones again!"
The attitude was quite respectful, Gu Tong nodded and asked, "Why haven't you Mr. Li come yet?" Ben Qianhu had been waiting for him for almost an hour. β
Soap Li bowed and apologized.
"Lord Qianhu forgives the sin, the chief soldier and the experience adult are discussing big things in the backyard council room, and the small ones don't dare to disturb rashly......"
Gu Tong was irritable, why did Li Xin still want to give himself a beating? Ben wanted to get up and leave, but when he remembered the purpose of this trip, he still sat down with the unhappiness in his heart.
"What about Governor Qian? Go and call him! β
Soap Li lost again.
"The Governor is in the chamber." He paused and patted the back of his head and hand, as if he remembered something, and said with a smile: "Look at the memory of the little one, the little one has already ordered the whole fat sheep to be stewed in the back kitchen, and it can only be sent to Qianhu and his brothers when it is ready." β
Just now, I was pretending to be in my heart, Gu Tong really didn't care about things like eating, and when he heard Soap Li say that he had eaten the whole fat sheep, he couldn't help but salivate. Cheng DΓΉ, who is not known to others, knows about the difficulties of the Zhenyuwei, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng DΓΉ, who has reached the point where he can't open the pot, and is willing to stew the whole fat sheep, which shows that they still dare not treat themselves slowly.
"Yuan is also hungry, and all the food to fill his stomach is brought kuΓ i. That's right......" Gu Tong lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know what the Chief Soldier and Governor Qian are discussing again?" β
Soap Li did not hide it, with a mysterious look, he stepped forward and said softly:
"Haven't you heard of it? I was attacked by someone at the mouth of the wild wolf last night, and now the guards of the town are all in chaos, and Chengli is catching spies everywhere. By the way, the little one still sounds confidential. β
Gu Tong's eyes lit up, leaned forward, and leaned over to listen.
"Thousands of adults, don't say it's small, and it's revealed."
"You just have to say it, and this thousand households don't say it!"
"Mr. Li and Mr. Zeng had a very fierce quarrel, as if he wanted to drive Mr. Zeng away, and Mr. Zeng experienced not buying Mr. Li's account......"
It turned out that Li Xin actually wanted to take the opportunity to get that Zeng Dare away, Gu Tong secretly wondered if he was helping Li Xin in this matter and pushing that Zeng Dare away.
After Soap Li finished speaking, he saw that Gu Tong was no longer silent and retreated in interest. Li Daliang came over excitedly.
"Hey, the surname Li and the surname Zeng are fighting in the nest, our Zuo Qianhu can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
Gu Tong very much agrees with Li Daliang's statement, but he can't sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight as if he is a passerby A or a passerby B, he is thinking about how to push the two of them together, it is best to let these two people fight to the death, and both sides will lose.
At the critical moment, he Gu Tong appeared as a mediator, and whoever he supported would win. When the time comes, who will dare not listen to him?
After a while, the handymen carried a steaming copper basin into the hall, which was full of stewed mutton that had just come out of the pot, and the room was full of aroma for a while.
Gu Tong didn't take the lead in moving the chopsticks, but asked Soap Li: "Do you have all the brothers outside Benqian?" β
Soap Li replied: "It's all there, each person has a bowl of mutton soup and steamed buns, and the tube is enough!" β
It is normal for them to eat meat and drink soup outside, and one hundred and ten strong men, even ten sheep, may not be enough, and the arrangement of the Wei Si Yamen is quite reasonable. In this case, it is not necessary to let the brothers be cold and eat on the street.
"Daliang, you go and make arrangements, so that the brothers can find an empty house to live in, and they don't have to wait on the street!"
Soap Li suddenly picked up.
"There are a lot of empty houses on the left side of the Weisi Yamen, and most of them are intact, why don't you lead the way for the thousands of adults?"
"Well, that's very good, there's work!"
Gu Tong didn't think much about nodding in agreement, and when he saw Li Daliang, who was looking at the stew in the basin with a sad face, he swallowed his saliva, and scolded with a smile: "Look at this point, go and go back quickly, and leave a fat leg of lamb for you!" β
Li Daliang originally wanted to feast, and the fat mutton was not something that could be eaten casually in Zuo Qianhu, but he didn't expect to pick up a big bargain in the Acropolis today, let him go to work first, how could he not be disappointed in his heart? But when he heard Gu Tong's words, he immediately smiled again, and ran out with the soap.
"Come on, come on, sit down and eat, don't be restrained, eat open!"
Gu Tong waited for Li Daliang to go out, and then beckoned the soldiers around him to sit down and eat together, and everyone waited for the words of the Lord Qianhu, and they all gathered around and feasted on it. This stew was eaten until the sky was dark.
Gu Tong leaned comfortably on the chair, picked his teeth with a bamboo skewer with satisfaction, and burped a few times from time to time, on the table, the basin was in a mess, and Li Daliang was holding the leg of mutton and gnawing violently.
He was full of wine and food, and he suddenly remembered Li Xin again, why didn't this guy come to see him, and now that more than half an hour has passed, when will he wait? Just about to have a seizure, the soap who had been waiting for them in front of the saddle came in again.
"The mutton stew is a little urgent, can you still be satisfied? The chief soldier has already finished discussing with the experience adult, so please go to the council hall with the little one! β
Gu Tong suppressed the emotion that was about to have a seizure just now, and immediately changed into a pleasant face, and followed Soap Li, Li Daliang didn't care about the leg of mutton that had not eaten, and followed him out of the main hall. Passing through a courtyard gate, it is the second courtyard, don't look at the dilapidated house temporarily occupied, the scale is not small, the standard three into three open. The council hall was the second main room in the courtyard, and Soap Li led Gu Tong in. Compared with the main hall of the first courtyard, the space of the room is a little cramped, only a large wax of butter is lit, and the flames are very unstable, and the reflection should be beating strangely.
But there was no one, and Li Xin was not in the hall. Soap Li bowed and said, "Please wait, the general soldier is convenient to go, and it will be there in a moment!" β
Li Daliang burst out laughing, Soap Li was so confused, how could such a private matter as Lord General Bing say it in public? Gu Tong also smiled and waved his hand to signal that Soap Li could go out.
But he didn't realize that he was wrong. "Such a small one is waiting outside the door, and the adults of a thousand households need to call the small one at any time!"
After waiting for half an hour, Gu Tong was finally angry, Li Daliang rushed outside to call the soap to talk back, but the strange thing is that he said that he was waiting outside the door, and he called several times but no one responded!
Li Daliang was anxious and angry, and reached out to pull the door of the house, but he didn't pull it. I used my hand again, but I could only hear the sound of banging, and it was actually locked! Gu Tong saw that Li Daliang's face was different, and the door couldn't be opened, so he finally realized that the problem was strict.
How could he shout and bang on the door but there was no response from outside, Li Daliang was angry and wanted to forcibly kick the door open. Gu Tong stopped him and told him not to act rashly. Gu Tong, who was also angry, quickly calmed down, he had already realized that he should follow Li Xin's way, because he had always believed that the surname Li did not dare to turn his face, but he didn't expect that he came to the Acropolis this time to send sheep into the tiger's mouth.
After thinking about the current situation, Gu Tong regretted letting the hundred and ten soldiers go to the house, but now there is a problem and he wants to save the emergency, but he has to delay a lot of time.
"Lord Qianhu, what to do depends on your words!"
Li Daliang was annoyed but courageous, and put on a look of fighting to the death.
"Don't move a lot, let's go out of the broken window and join the brothers, we must move quickly!"
After the group discussed it, they were just about to start, when they suddenly felt that it was noisy outside, and through the thick window paper, they could feel countless torches lit up in the yard! Then it was the voice of the soap that came in.
"Lord Qianhu forgives his sins, there are bandits attacking the city, and the chief soldier has gone to the city. I specially tell the villain to protect the thousands of adults, please don't be impatient! β
"Don't be irritated by your grandma!"
Li Daliang listened to the sound and discerned the position, and threw the steel knife in his hand with a bang, and the sharp knife god easily cut through the window and smashed the window lattice, and flew straight out, the force was extremely fierce.
But the expected scream did not appear, Li Daliang searched around and wanted to find something to throw out, but he heard a sound of breaking the air, only to feel that his scalp was cold, and a feather arrow flew past his scalp, nailed straight to the beam behind him, and submerged into a few inches deep. was so shocked that Li Daliang's heart jumped suddenly, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
Gu Tong was still very calm, and his 100-person soldiers were not vegetarians, so he gave an order.
"Hold on and wait! , let go of the dysprosium! β
One of the soldiers drew a longbow from his back and shot an arrow out of the window, a sharp sound piercing the silent night sky. But listening, the soap outside sneered again.
"I'm afraid that Lord Qianhu won't be able to wait for reinforcements, they are all sleeping soundly now!"
What sleeps soundly? Gu Tong subconsciously doubted, his personal soldiers were all the elite of Zuo Qianhu, even if he slept and died, someone could always hear Ming Di, this thought was only half turned, and he suddenly realized that these people were planning to deal with themselves, and the first thing to cut off was their own personal soldiers.
Gu Tong hated and hated, Li Xin had been holding back, but only for the sake of a sudden sneak attack, he still boasted of his resourcefulness, and he didn't know it when he was evil, and now he regretted it too late, who can blame him!
