Chapter 1: Feathering (Part 2)
In the next few days, Hedong reconnaissance cavalry went out in all the cities under his control, looking for the whereabouts of his predecessor, Li Jing, the former commander of Mayi County. But this person is like going underground, and after leaving Taiyuan, he left no trace. However, the hard work of the scouts was not in vain, and three days later, they brought back the news that Wan'er, the second lady who had escaped from Chang'an, was out of danger.
"How many of you heard about Wan'er from anyone? Is the speaker reliable? Have you ever left it behind? At first hearing the news of his daughter, Tang Gong Li Yuan jumped up from the Hu bed happily and asked loudly.
"The person who delivered the message was an elder in General Wu's family who sold leather goods. I met them at the Elm Society. So I hurriedly 'invited' it back to Taiyuan in a carriage! The scout team who answered was very capable, and explained Li Yuan's question clearly in a few words.
"Call him, no, invite him in, invite him to the second hall to speak. Is it the elder of the samurai shogun? Not an outsider! You led him to the second hall and brought General Wu in. Let's have a bowl of tea and eat some snacks together! The sudden good news made Li Yuan forget all the unhappiness in his heart for a while, and ordered incoherently while tidying up his clothes.
'Tang Gong likes it tightly! Qian Jiulong, the commander of the guards, said secretly in his heart. Stopped the scout team who was walking out, asked a few words carefully, and then made some arrangements, and only after the safety was guaranteed, did he send a few henchmen, "please" the messenger to bathe and change clothes in accordance with etiquette.
"Since it's Shi Tong's clan, what's the problem! Jiulong, haven't you been too nervous lately! Li Yuan was annoyed by Qian Jiulong's cautious demeanor and kept complaining.
"It's not as good as it used to be. Tang Gong has a future for ten thousand soldiers, and Jiulong has to be more careful! Qian Jiulong bowed his body and replied in a low voice.
"Trouble, fucking trouble!" Li Yuan shook his head and cursed very helplessly.
The price of turning a family into a country is not insignificant, and this is just the beginning, and the Li family has lost five children such as Zhiyun, Hui'er, and Yun Niang. The youngest of them, Yun Niang, was only four years old, and when she was left behind by Chang'an and taken to the execution ground, she didn't know what rebellion was, and she kept begging for mercy for her former "uncles". And those "uncles" who were courteous to the Li family when they had nothing to do in the past had cold faces one by one, lest they show half sympathy and implicate their own families.
The others also experienced hardships and dangers on the way to Taiyuan, and Yuan Ji came back with a martial arts. Jiancheng only entered the city last night, and the whole person looked like a beggar. As for Chai Shao, the fast son-in-law of the Tang Mansion, he walked peacefully. It was when the danger first came that he ran away separately from Wan'er. said that Wan'er took the initiative not to add risks to the men, but in fact, she learned from Liu San, who abandoned his wife and children......
What made Li Yuan feel the most sad was his second son, Shimin. Although he believed that his son did not deliberately kill his own brother that day, after thinking about it, there was a good chance that the clever rumor came from him. It's just that as a father, Li Yuan can't pursue it anymore, and he doesn't want to pursue it anymore, but his heart is like a piece of ice, and he can't melt it no matter how he melts it.
He is not against conspiracy, and complementing each other is the royal way to achieve great things. But intrigues should not be used between father and son, let alone burial of biological brothers as sacrifices! He didn't want to believe that Shimin was as ruthless and unrighteous as Yang Guang, but more and more facts were like knives, poking back and forth in his heart!
"Caomin Wufang, see Tang Gong!" While Li Yuan was pondering, the merchant surnamed Wu had already packed up as required and walked into the second hall under the leadership of several guards. Although the Li family has not officially erected an anti-flag so far, the clever Taiyuan businessmen have already learned how to use the bow to see Jin. After three kowtows, the man slowly straightened up, his eyes still staring at the ground in front of his knees, not daring to raise his head to offend Tianyan.
"Flat, flat, they are all Taiyuan people, how much do you give such a big gift!" Li Yuan raised his arm and made a rude gesture. "Shi Tong, lift up your people for me and give me a seat! Is it really your elder? Why hasn't the old man ever heard you mention it? β
"Xie Tang Gong gave the seat. Caomin is Shitong's uncle in terms of generation, but he is not a family. His family is a scholarly family, and he doesn't usually walk around with us businessmen! Later, he joined the army and was busy with official business, so he didn't have time to contact the old man! "The merchant Wu Fang is very clever, knowing that the warriors and warriors mind each other's identities very much, and hurriedly play a round for each other.
"Well, that's not how it should be. Without merchants, who will bring the goods from south to north? Shi Tong took the words of the Confucian scholars seriously, and the strongest thing in the world is this family affection, how to cut it, and give it up continuously! Li Yuan smiled and preached in the tone of an elder.
In this chaotic situation, those who dare to take the caravan to the south and north are not simple people. Either they are brave and have strong command ability. Either the hands and eyes are open to the sky, and the friends with the rogue leaders, mountain kings, and green forest masters from all over the world are not shallow. The Li family is about to raise troops, and such a heroic hero is the target of wooing. Even if he didn't expect him to persuade the wanderers to come down along the way, he could at least buy some scarce supplies and useful information from his hands that the scouts couldn't inquire about. Therefore, Li Yuan did enough work in front of the people who came, and did not put on the shelf of the king of a country at all.
"With Tang Gong's words, my thirty-six large and small businesses in Taiyuan will be blessed in the future!" Wu Fang, who was sitting on the stool, arched his hand, and his gratitude was beyond words.
"Where, I'm just telling the truth." Li Yuan waved his hand, not accepting the other party's compliment. "Our Hedong region is rich in products, but flat land is scarce, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient in food. If it weren't for you businessmen running back and forth all these years, what would the soldiers eat and what would the people eat. In a famine year, what does the government give to the people? It's just that those rotten Confucians don't understand the people's suffering, and they always hang the words "Shinong, Industry and Commerce" on their lips. Don't you know that if one of the four people is missing, they can't even afford to wear a long shirt, let alone pen, ink, paper, and inkstone! β
A few words not only warmed the heart of the martial arts party, but even the samurai Tong who was standing next to him was greatly moved. Knowing that some of the words may not be from Li Yuan's original heart, he still bent down deeply and thanked him for a long time, "The last general will thank you for your guidance." In the future, the last general will respect the teachings of the lord, go home more often, and not let the flesh and blood family become cold because of the difference in identity! β
"I'm afraid you won't have much time in the future!" Li Yuan shook his head with a smile, "We are about to go south to eliminate traitors for the country, at such a critical moment, how can the old man be willing to let you, a man who knows the army, return home." However, your uncle and other clansmen can often come to the army to see you. In the future, we will have more and more soldiers, and there will be a huge shortage of various materials. Since your martial arts family is known as the 'Semi-Merge State', you should be able to organize a caravan to supply supplies to the army and sell the spoils of war! β
"Thank you for your kindness!" Hearing this, Wu Fang hurriedly jumped off the stool and thanked Li Yuan together with Wu Shitong. He was willing to take the risk to help Wan'er deliver the news, in order to catch Li Yuan's line in order to make a fortune from the war. I didn't expect Li Yuan, who was the Duke of Tang, to be so smart, and he took the initiative to meet all the requirements without waiting for him to speak.
"You don't have to thank me. Shi Tong has been following me for many years, and according to common sense, your martial arts family is your own people, and your own people can rest assured. Later, you can ask him to take you to Chen Junshi to get a waist card, with this waist card, people from the martial arts family can enter the camp at any time to meet me!" Although he was concerned about his daughter's safety, Li Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to solve the worries of the army in line with the principle of public before private.
The distance between the guest and the host was instantly shortened, as if they had known each other for many years, and they talked and laughed. After a few sips of hot tea, the flattered military side offered to donate materials to the labor army. "The subordinates will do their best to satisfy the shortcomings of the army as much as possible. If the gold and silver in the hands of Tang Gong are insufficient, the Taiyuan merchants can also donate some. One is to repay Tang Gong for his kindness over the years, and the other is to contribute to the country, clean up those chaotic ministers and thieves early, and enjoy peace one day earlier! β
Li Yuan didn't covet the small bargains of a few merchants, smiled, and said: "I still have a lot of disgusting things that can't be brought away in life and can't be taken away in death." If you are in business, how can you buy your own goods with your own money? Mr. Wu can rest assured, if any of my Li Yuan's subordinates dares to take something without paying, or forcibly buy and sell it, I will definitely cut off his head with my own hands. β
"Thank you Tang Gong, thank you Tang Gong!" Wu Fang was so grateful that he chanted the Buddha again and again, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and hug the other party's thigh. Those who do business are afraid that the government will be unreasonable, and with Li Yuan's guarantee today, the risk of the martial family losing their money in the future is much smaller. With the footsteps of Li Jiajun, businesses from all over the country will also take a look at the Hedong martial arts, and the future financial resources will definitely roll in.
"You don't have to thank me yet." Li Yuan put away his smile, and his tone slowly became cold, "I want to do exclusive business." If you accept my order, don't supply supplies and grain to Liu Wuzhou. I used to know that you had countless channels and ways to go north, but you never interfered. Because you also need to earn money, you need to provide for your family. I can't watch your goods rot on my hands! But in the future, with the financial road of my Li family, it is best to let go of the financial road on Liu Wuzhou's side and Shibi Khan's side, especially the grain and salt, I don't want to fight to the death with the traitors in front of me, and fatten up two strong enemies in the back! β
"This--" Wu Fang paused for a moment, and the smile on his face was immediately frozen. He has been managing the business for the whole family for many years, and he never loses money in doing business. It wasn't until today that I found out that I had met someone who could do business better than myself, so I first gave a little sweetness, and then I started cutting meat with a knife.
But the sweetness has already been swallowed in the stomach, and it is obviously too late to regret it at this moment. Although Li Yuan, the Tang Gong in front of him, is known as the "old woman", he has never hesitated to chop people's heads. Not only did those Hu people dare not provoke him, but looking at the entire Great Sui, there were no seven who dared to pick up their tiger whiskers in public!
The Hato samurai is certainly not one of the seven. Therefore, even if his heart was painful and bleeding, the military side had no choice but to accept Tang Gong Li Yuan's request on behalf of the merchants. "The grass people, the grass people are going back to tell everyone that they must no longer transport goods to the outside of Cyprus. However, Tang Gong, you also know that although there are many businesses under the name of the martial arts, they are concentrated in timber and leather goods, and they will never dare to touch prohibited materials such as ironware, grain, and illegal salt! β
"I just wanted you to tell everyone. Even if you do business to the south, you can walk on the ground that my Li family can control. Li Yuan put down the tea bowl in his hand, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling and ruthless. As for the north, I will send people to patrol day and night, and once someone is caught, they will end up bankrupt, but don't blame me for being ruthless! β
"That's nature, that's nature!" However, after listening to a few hard words, cold sweat had already broken out on Wu Fang's forehead. Over the years, he has made a lot of acquaintances with the big names among the bandits and rogues, and he has seen a lot of unreasonable people, but no one has ever given him such a great coercion as Li Yuan.
Tang Gong is reasonable, more reasonable than any bandit and rogue. When reasoning, it can already talk about people to the point that they can't turn over, and if they start a rush, the military side doesn't know if the so-called 36 businesses in the state can withstand this person stomping his feet.
"Don't worry, without evidence, my subordinates won't harm people! Even if they are caught, I will give them a chance to defend themselves, so as not to be planted by the enemy! Li Yuan's words were very peaceful, but they sounded like thunder in people's ears, "Those who do business pay attention to the rules of conduct, and the governing country also pays attention to the law, I believe that everyone will not embarrass me in the future!" β
'Isn't it simple for officials to plant stolen goods for the people? Catch it first and then find evidence, how to find it, how to have it! Wu Fang suddenly began to regret that he should not have been greedy for cheap, and recklessly ran to deliver letters on behalf of others. If you don't come on this trip, the martial arts family won't have anything to gain, but they won't get into such a big trouble.
He suddenly understood why his nephew Shitong had been an official for so many years, but he never let the family and the government get involved in the bitter relationship. It is clearly a broken ship without the other side, whether it leaks or not, as long as it goes up, it will come down again!
"Grass people, grass people must abide by the rules. This time I met the second lady, and she also had a similar teaching. The grass people have already ordered someone to write it down, and they will never dare to forget it! The Wu Fang, who was in a hurry to get out, didn't care about selling off the guanzi anymore, and seized every opportunity to lead the topic to Wan'er.
"It won't take too long, Liu Wuzhou and the others are just dew on the tip of the grass, and the period of destruction will not be too far away. When the time comes, the surrounding areas of Mayi will be connected with Taiyuan, and you will have your business to do! Seeing the messenger, Li Yuan was not so anxious, took a few sips of tea, and then asked in a low voice: "How did you meet the little girl, does she have a handwritten letter?" cough, in these chaotic years, it's hard for her to be a woman's family! β
"Second Miss, Second Miss has now pulled up a lot of power in Wangwu Mountain. The grass people didn't know that it was the second lady at first, so they were afraid of losing their fortune and were ready to break through. Later, he was invited by the people on the mountain to eat and drink, only to find out that it was a special soldier from Taiyuan. Therefore, he passed the mountain peacefully...... "Wu Fang did not ease his mind in the panic, so his mind was a little unclear, his words were very wordy, and he couldn't answer the key.
"Second uncle, Duke Tang asked if you have a letter from Second Miss? Other details, it's too late to talk about it later! The samurai scolded his people in a low voice.
"No, no, the second lady said that there are many inconveniences with paper and pen, so she only asked me to report that I was safe. She said that she told Tang Gong not to worry about her, the daughter of the Li family would not cause trouble to anyone! Wu Fang pondered for a moment and said intermittently.
"The daughter of the Li family?" Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then a desolation surged in his heart. As a father, he understands how his daughter is feeling right now. When the catastrophe was approaching, Chai Shao left Wan'er and fled alone, although he did not leave the book, he was also in love with Grace. Therefore, Wan'er no longer regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Chai family, and took the initiative to restore the identity of the daughter of the Li family. It's just that how did she run into Wangwu Mountain? How could it be possible to turn it into Taiyuan's sphere of influence in a short period of time?
Wangwu Mountain is located at the junction of Changping and Hanoi counties, less than 100 miles away from the Mengjin ferry, and after Mengjin, you can reach the gateway of the eastern capital. At this moment, Wan'er mastered Wangwu Mountain, which was tantamount to clearing the way for the southward movement of the soldiers and horses in Hedong. This credit is not inferior to conquering dozens of counties along the way in one fell swoop.
Under the mixture of joy and sorrow, Li Yuan's voice changed unconsciously. "Sir, how did Mr. meet the little girl. Does she look okay? Is there a shortage of food and clothing in the mountains? Don't be in a hurry, take your time, I have to listen to everything that goes by, and don't leave anything behind? β
"This, isn't this going to delay Tang Gong for a lot of time?" Wu Fang couldn't stand Li Yuan's hot and cold attitude, looked at his nephew, and said hesitantly.
"Well, well. Shi Tong, you go out and order someone to prepare some wine and food. I don't have anything to thank Mr. Wu, so I just have a meal with him and talk about my heart! Talk about the heart! β
By this time, Li Yuan had regained his image as a loving father. Very enthusiastic invitation.
The precedent is in front, how dare the military side accept the benefits of Tang Gong again, and quickly shirk it. Li Yuan refused to let him continue to be polite, and forced him to bring two low tables and press Wu Fang into his seat. "It's Gong just now, so I naturally have to speak with a straight face. It's private at the moment, you don't have to care about the wording, let's talk while eating. Parents, who don't care about their children. Hi, Mr. Wu is also from the past, you should know Li's thoughts! β
"The blessing that the grass people have cultivated in their lifetime is that they can eat and drink with Tang Gong!" Wu Fang leaned over and chattered. As a merchant and being listed as a guest of a prince, the news of this will surely make him raise his eyebrows in front of his colleagues for months. Although the master here is a little moody, and always strong.
"Please tell me more about the situation of the little girl!" Li Yuan frowned lightly and held up a glass of wine.
"Yes, yes, the grass people must know everything!" Wu Fang hurriedly raised the wine cup and poured a big sip, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "The grass people are engaged in the wood and fur business, although the current army is in chaos, in order to eat a mouthful, but they also have to run back and forth. Last month, I went to Jingshi and Dongdu to take a circle, and then I got together with a few other old acquaintances and returned north to ......"
"Is the cargo easy to get rid of? Is the life of Jingshi and Dongdu still passable? Don't think the other party is verbose, Li Yuan interjected with a smile.
"Hey, how do you say that. The rich still spend a lot of money, those who have no money starve to death, and the corpses rot on the side of the road and no one cleans them up! Thanks to your old man's blessing, the small goods are quickly dissipated, all of which are exquisite woodware and winter fox skins, which are only affordable for large households, and are not difficult to sell! β
"Well, are the officers and soldiers on the Jingshi side domineering? Will it rob you of your goods? Li Yuan nodded, put aside his thoughts about Wan'er for the time being, and asked carefully.
"Okay? Several officials are good people, and General Qiu and General Song are strictly restrained. Only General Yin's subordinates treat people poorly. The left and right are spending money to avoid disasters, and the grass people are also used to it! "The Wu side knows what Li Yuan wants to ask, and tells the truth about his observations." But General Qiu and General Song are different. The soldiers and horses under General Qiu's command looked energetic, and General Song was old, and the soldiers and horses under his command were not very energetic. As for General Yin, hey, it's similar to the green forest heroes that the grass people have seen......"
"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for reminding me!" Li Yuan raised his hands and toasted the other party as the host.
"Don't dare, don't dare, for Tang Gongshou!" Wu Fang hurriedly raised the wine cup above the top and praised it.
"Later, you just said that you wanted to go to the mountain? What's going on? β
"Alas, the grass people are also short-sighted. Seeing that there were many people on his side, he wanted to rush directly from the foot of Wangwu Mountain to save money for the next road purchase! Wu Fang sighed and said.
"Aren't you afraid of the next revenge of the mountain kings?" Although he is not a hero of the green forest, Li Yuan knows a little about some rules on the rivers and lakes. The so-called occupying the mountain is the king, and it is not always to kill all the merchants and travelers who pass by. That will only cut off one's own financial route, not a long-term way. The more savvy bandits will play the sign of defending the party and set their own tax standards. For passing merchants and travelers, a certain amount of money will be drawn for the road, or one or two out of ten, or there will be a maximum limit, as long as the money is paid according to the rules, to ensure that you can walk through his land safely.
"Alas, this time the income is relatively high, and on the way I met a gang claiming to be selling salt. Several waves of people gathered together, and the number of people exceeded 2,000, which was a bit overwhelming. Besides, as long as the flag is rolled up, the people on the mountain will not know who the passer-by is, and the disaster will not be too great! Wu Fang smiled bitterly a few times and explained.
The experience at that time was extremely bizarre, and now that I recall it, it gives people the feeling of dreaming. After crossing the Yellow River with a caravan of more than 300 people, he soon met several old acquaintances on the way. For the sake of safety, everyone naturally makes the team as big as possible. Unexpectedly, this time he suddenly had good luck, and when he left Hanoi City, he met a group of guys selling illicit salt.
Among the various industries, the profit of private salt is the most. Therefore, the men who sell smuggled salt will also carry weapons with them, whether it is the government or the bandits who stand in the way, if they do not agree, they will face each other with swords. Over time, the officers and soldiers and bandits were unwilling to provoke the smuggler of salt, and it was not difficult for them to turn a blind eye and let them go. The merchants, on the other hand, regarded the salt dealers as their best partners, and those who were generous enough to sell the unsalable goods to them at a discount. Second, the salt dealers have strong combat effectiveness, and occasionally encounter bandits who try to kill them all, and they will also take care of each other.
Therefore, several business owners took the initiative to invite the salt dealers to accompany them. The other party is also a cheerful person, so he didn't have the mouth to agree. Soon, a group of people selling livestock, a group of selling groceries, a group of people who went to the rivers and lakes to sell their solutions, and a family of officials who had returned to their hometowns also followed in vain, asking to return north together.
In line with the principle of greater strength in numbers, the shopkeepers also agreed. But as I walked, I found that something was not right, and those cattle sellers, groceries sellers, and officials seemed to know each other for a long time, and they always greeted each other.
"Since you guys are old rivers and lakes, didn't you find anything abnormal beforehand?" Li Yuan heard it strangely and couldn't help but interject.
"This, don't hide it from Tang Gong. The world is so chaotic, from the shopkeeper to the guy, everyone must have a guy. And people who sell smuggled salt often also sell weapons, anyway, it is a capital crime to be caught, and it is almost too much to cut one knife and two knives! Wu Fang smiled and said in a sneering manner.
The smugglers did have horses and were carrying parcels on their backs. It's not so much a salt seller as a smuggler. Because of this, several of their old merchants want to partner with each other even more. Moreover, the number of smugglers is only about 50, which is far less than the number of men in the business, and they can't take too much advantage of disputes.
The size of a group of fifty people is not large, and a few batches of fifty people join, which is roughly the same as the number of caravan men. Wu Fang and the others didn't notice it at first, and when they found out, it was too late to regret it.
"So you were led to fat sheep! Then I want to save the money for the little girl to buy the road! Li Yuan laughed and drank all the wine in the cup.
He has been suppressing bandits for many years, and he knows a little about the common methods of the horses. According to what the military side said, the gang of smuggled salt dealers, and later those who sold cattle and groceries, as well as the officials and relatives who returned to their hometowns and the Jianghu people who sold their jobs, must have been disguised as robbers. When they walked to a secluded place together, they would carry a knife to 'reason', so that the merchants who were traveling with them would have nowhere to escape. The gangsters of the rivers and lakes call this kind of behavior a sheep, and the fat sheep that is led is the defenseless wronged boss of the military side and others.
"It's not that we are reluctant to give up money, and we ...... according to the rules of the road." Wu Fang laughed a few times, wanting to explain to Li Yuan that since they were robbed by the Ringing Horses, before the two sides separated, it was equivalent to being protected by the Ringing Horses, and there was no need to bother the second group of thieves. Unless there is a fire between the two bands of thieves, the control of the property belongs to the victor. But after thinking about it, the other party was a dignified prince, how could he understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, and halfway through the words, he quickly pressed back with wine.
"According to the rules of the road, you don't bother the two masters!" Li Yuan's laughter came again, revealing a sense of cordiality. If it weren't for sitting in the second hall of the Left-behind Mansion, Wu Fang really suspected that the Lord Guogong in front of him was also pretending to be a Xiangma, and he spent so much time just to eat his own fat sheep.
"Not only that, but what happened to the grass people is really bizarre!" Seeing that Li Yuan knew the rules of the rivers and lakes well, Wu Fang's courage grew, and his words became more and more boundless.
"yes, what's so strange, you say let's drink!" Knowing that his daughter was safe, Li Yuan's mood was no longer as urgent as before. It was hard to relax for a while, and he was willing to inquire carefully about the origin of the ringing horses. The leader of the ringing horses can dazzle Wu Fang and a few other old merchants, and he is definitely a rare talent. At present, the Li family in Hedong is only worried about the few people who can be used, and they are not worried about the many generals who can fight with knives and are willing to move their hearts.
Lao Tanggong asked, that gang of horses is very strange, and they have not committed any crime against the woman who sold the solution. And ......"
"Isn't it their accomplice who sold the solution, why is there still a woman in it?" Li Yuan was even more curious when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to interrupt without waiting for Wu Fang to finish speaking.
"It's not. It's a shame to say that several of our old shopkeepers were stupid at that time, and they didn't dare to bargain with Xiangma. It was the gang who came out to be a middleman and asked the other party how many knives he wanted to kill. When Wu Fang said that he was excited, he couldn't help but gesture up and down with his hands, "As a result, the leader of the betrayal went to negotiate with the big boss of the other party, and I don't know why, they actually worshiped the godbrothers and sisters." Then we will forgive our filial piety! β
There are some details that he can't talk about in front of Tang Gong, so he has to vaguely mention them. The real situation at that time was that some of the people in the gang of horses coaxed them, saying that if the female leader of the betrayal could make them laugh, he would not want the merchants to pay a penny of filial piety. Soon after the female leader of the betrayal left, the big boss of the ringing horse, who had been hiding in the carriage, came out and announced in public that he would not rob everyone of their money.
"Is the woman who sold the solution a woman who has fallen over the city and the country?" Even as a national prince, Li Yuan has a common problem with ordinary men, and when it comes to women, her appearance is the first thing that comes to mind.
"At first, she deliberately wiped her face with potion, so everyone didn't see it. The last few days without applying potion to the face, we sneaked a look and ....... Wu Fang's face was full of regret, and it seemed that he was twenty years younger, "It's not just a country and a city, that natural beauty is simply not a figure in the world......"
"Oh, that's no wonder!" Li Yuan nodded and smiled. A bold and careful ringing horse leader, a woman in the rivers and lakes who captivated the country and the city, and also hit it off at first sight, worshipping as righteous brothers and sisters, this story is getting more and more interesting, and it is no wonder that the surname Wu is mentioned like a bear that smells honey, and immediately forgets.
"This is not strange enough, the head of the horse actually knows the second lady, and it seems that they are still very familiar with each other!" Wu Fang got carried away and spit out the words that should not be said.
"What!" Li Yuan's hand shook in shock, and half of the wine held in his mouth was poured on his chest. "How do you know they know? When did this happen? How many days have you been back in Hedong? β
"Caomin, there was no delay on the Caomin Road, seven days, no, Wangwu Mountain six days ago. Stayed in the mountains for a day, then headed back. The head of the horse also specially sent someone to send me to wait for a ride, and I didn't part until the party! Wu Fang was taken aback by Li Yuan's performance, thought about it, and then said hesitantly. lest any sentence be said wrongly, causing the other party to "reason" with him again!
"How do you know they know? Are there any other masters in Wangwu Mountain? What is the name of the ringing horse? Li Yuan saw that the other party always couldn't answer the topic, and his heart itched like a cat, so he stood up and asked.
Seeing Tang Gong standing up, Wu Fang hurriedly followed suit. "Originally, everyone said that they would go through the mountain and not leave half a penny to buy road money for the head of Wangwushan. As a result, seeing that a fight was about to start, the leader of the ringing horses on our side suddenly called out the name of one of the people who stood in the way, and then the other party immediately lowered his weapon. Then, the second lady also went down the mountain and looked at the ringing horse leader here for a while. β
In that case, it is clear that each side is eager to hold each other and never separate. Wu Fang secretly commented in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he pondered for a while, and continued: "I heard that the thief and the second lady are called that Xiang Ma Zhongjian, and the woman who sold the solution has the same surname as Xiang Ma, and it is said that they are both surnamed Zhang, so it is speculated that one of them is called Zhang Zhongjian and the other is Zhang Chuchen. As for the bandits, everyone who doesn't know the name of the king has long known, this time I heard that his real name is Wang Yuantong, and there is also a person named Dadao Qi, whose real name is Qi Poning! β
"Oh my God!" Li Yuan screamed in his heart, not knowing whether he should thank the sky for having eyes, or hate the ruthlessness of creation. It was Wang Yuantong and Qi Poning who fell into the grass in Wangwu Mountain, so Wan'er could easily collect a group of strong reinforcements for the Li family. It was Li Xu who pretended to be a merchant and returned to Boling from the old road that rushed to Yanmen, so Wan'er met him.
He thought of the broken grain army again, the carefree young people, and the eyes full of trust and reverence for him. There is also the fire on the Liaohe Bridge, which burned in a dream, and for many years, no matter how much it was extinguished, it could not be extinguished!
