In the Zhixian Yamen, in the study, Gao Qian kept walking, back and forth, which caused Gao Keng to be very dissatisfied: "Father, what's wrong with you?" Can you sit down and be quiet for a while, my head will be dizzy when you turn around. ”

Gao Qian was unmoved, still walking, as if this was the only way to ease the uneasiness in his heart. The look of worry on his face that couldn't be concealed, and when he saw his son's indifferent appearance, he felt a breath of air in his chest: "Keng'er, you still have the heart to sit there, General Wang has been gone all morning, and there is no news until now." According to the prior agreement, after stabilizing Li Zicheng, he will come back to meet us immediately and reconfirm the plan, how to catch Li Zicheng? ”

"Father, you have nothing to worry about if you put that heart back in your stomach. Li Zicheng is just a small boss and a small role. It's been less than five months in the army, what waves can be turned over? What's more, even if Li Zicheng wants to rebel, then the soldiers under him are willing to rebel with him? Rebellion is a great crime, and it can be beheaded at any time. ”

However, Gao Keng's reassuring words did not play a role, in Gao Qian's opinion, this is simply a child's naïve words, too taken for granted. The hanging heart never let go, suddenly beating, unusually worried.

At this time, Gao Keng seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "By the way, father, what is that Wang Wei doing?" There are so many strange things, and, most interestingly, his name is actually the same as the name of a famous prostitute in Jiangnan. ”

Hearing this, Gao Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "My little ancestor, don't talk nonsense, okay?" The two Wang Wei, no matter which one they are, are not easy to mess with, especially the latter. ”

However, Gao Keng still looked like a hanger, and he didn't care: "Dad, what's there to scruple about?" There is an uncle in the palace, serving the emperor, who dares to offend us without opening his eyes?! ”

"Keng'er, let me tell you, the famous prostitute Wang Wei you are talking about, she is the concubine of Mao Yuanyi, the deputy chief soldier. And who is Mao Yuanyi? is not only the deputy commander-in-chief, guarding Juehua Island in Liaodong Bay, but also deeply relied on by the emperor's teacher Sun Chengzong, can we afford to provoke it? ”

"Moreover, the previous Wang Wei is also very not simple, and the origin is even worse. The reason why he came to the Shaanxi and Gansu regions this time to inspect the disaster situation and fight drought and provide disaster relief was that he was assigned by Xu Guangqi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a deputy assistant to the cabinet. ”

"Also, the two people who followed Wang Wei, that Song Yingxing was just a lifter, proficient in machinery, good at agriculture, and cooperating with Lord Wang to fight drought. However, the other one is not small, it is Xu Guangqi's nephew Xu Zhengming. ”

At this moment, Gao Keng couldn't laugh anymore, his expression was stiff, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and muttered, "What is the situation?" Didn't you just say that, and so many big people were brought out. These big names are not small, but they just appeared in Yuzhong County, and they really can't be provoked. ”

Seeing that his son realized the seriousness of the matter and knew that his son would not provoke those people, Gao Qian was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, but he still explained again: "Keng'er, I can tell you, your eldest uncle has specially explained." If possible, applaud Wang and Xu as much as possible. Even if you can't talk about it, you can't deal with evil, and give these people as convenience as possible. ”

"Uh-huh, father, I see." Gao Keng nodded again and again, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Wang Wei and his party could not be offended easily. Otherwise, his father's path to promotion would be completely ruined.

Thinking of this, Gao Keng showed a puzzled look and asked puzzledly: "Father, no, since these people are very big and have such noble status, how could they come to this place with such a harsh environment as Shaanxi and Gansu." ”

"Do you think everyone is like you~? With a little power in the family, he is either bullying others, or greedy for pleasure, and does not do anything serious. Gao Qian looked at his son a little speechlessly, rolled his eyes, and said in a pause, but still explained the reason.

"Let me tell you, these three are extremely proficient in mechanical arts, and have a certain amount of research in agriculture. The reason why I came to a place like Shaanxi and Gansu with a harsh environment is to fight drought and provide disaster relief and to observe the people's feelings, and secondly, to solve the agricultural problems in Shaanxi and Gansu and get rid of the traditional horse breeding for a living. ”

Gao Keng suddenly became worried again: "Father, now there is a shortage of soldiers, and there are rebellious peasants and armies everywhere. Wang Wei and Xu Zhengming brought so many people, will there be some insecurity? If you encounter bandits, it will be very bad. ”

Hearing this, Gao Qian's heart was suddenly broken out for no reason, a heart hung again, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said to himself with some cover-ups: "Won't it~?" ”

After saying this, even Gao Qian himself didn't believe it. If it had been a few months ago, the thieves had only spread in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan. However, the thieves are now gaining momentum and are beginning to approach Gansu, and some of the state capitals in Gansu are no longer peaceful.

For example, Zhou Dawang in Jiezhou had just rebelled, and it had not been long since the rebellion was suppressed.

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Qian thought of another thing, that is, Li Zicheng. How similar are the two situations? The army of the same imperial court, the same as the grain and salary withheld by the boss, how could it not rise up and rebel?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy Gao Qian's heart became, especially at the beginning, the inexplicable restlessness in his heart was even stronger at this time. It's all like a sign that something bad is coming.

Gao Qian didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't just hope that the kingdom's plan would succeed. Because he knew that once Li Zicheng rebelled, he would easily take Yuzhong City, and his father and son would definitely die.

Therefore, Gao Qian didn't dare to stay in the study anymore, and said as he walked out: "Keng'er, immediately gather your group of fox friends and ask about the situation in Nan Daying." For the father, go and arrange now, let the soldiers at the north gate guard the city gate, in case suspicious people enter the city. At the same time, my father also had to go to the Nanda camp and talk to the general manager there. ”

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly talk about Li Zicheng? It's just a small deal, is it so serious? Gao Keng frowned, although he disagreed with his father's suggestion, he still stood up, followed closely, and prepared to do so.

Hearing his son's questioning voice, and seeing that his son did it even though he said that, Gao Qian still had some old comfort, his son was not so stupid, and when he just wanted to respond, he was interrupted by a joke.

"Hehe... Gao Gongzi is right, Li Zicheng is just a small boss, can he pay so much attention to the county master? ”

The pace of the Gao family's father and son came to an abrupt halt, and they stopped there alive. They were too familiar with this voice, and their faces were incredulous, and when they looked at the door, they saw a big man walking in, their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled.

It's not Li Zicheng, or who is it?

Not only that, when Li Zicheng walked in with a smile, he was followed closely by the kingdom, drooping his head, looking listless and desperate. There were also a few soldiers, all holding weapons, majestic, their armor and weapons were still stained with blood, and the faint smell of blood was permeating.

In an instant, the father and son of the Gao family all understood that Li Zicheng really rebelled, and came to take the lead, not only seized the general's kingdom, but also controlled Yuzhong City, and the result of the southern camp can be imagined.

Gao Qian and Gao Keng were desperate, knowing that they had no chance of living today. The two of them single-handedly directed this scene, forced Li Zicheng to rebel, and ruined each other's careers, how could they let themselves go?

After thinking about this, the father and son of the Gao family calmed down, did not beg for mercy, did not wag their tails and beg for mercy, and their hearts were unusually peaceful and relaxed. Such a performance attracted Li Zicheng to take a look: "Hehe, your father and son are really a character, facing the current predicament, you can still be so calm, people have to admire." ”

"But so what? As the saying goes, kill to pay for your life, and pay off your debts. Since you did it first and wanted to kill me Li Zicheng, I can't do without a little expression, right? Come on, tie up their father and son for me, tie them up, don't kill them yet, I'm still useful~! ”

Immediately, two people came up, tied up the father and son of the Gao family, dragged them stiffly, dragged them to the prison, and locked them up.

At this time, Li Zicheng walked leisurely and slowly, sat on the upper seat in the study, smiled a little, and said earnestly: "My General Wang, later, it will depend on your performance." If things go well, I will take over the military power of the Nanda Battalion, and I will fulfill my promise. ”

"Okay, what you ask me to do, I'll do what I want to do and fully cooperate." The kingdom responded weakly, unable to give birth to the slightest resistance in his heart, and knew that he would die sooner or later. For the sake of the family, you must also behave well.

Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at a soldier, and commanded loudly: "Okay, take General Wang down." Find a better room and let him rest well. ”

"Yes, put the total!" The soldier said yes and walked towards the kingdom, and the latter walked with a more playful stride and followed the soldier out of the study.

At this time, Li Zicheng turned his head around, looking at everything in the study, the exquisite and antique decoration style, giving people a sense of elegance and a strong bookish atmosphere.

However, Li Zicheng frowned, turned a blind eye to all this, and had no interest, then stood up, walked straight to the door, and said: "Send someone to the gate to inform you, and after a while, if you see Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Wu Ruyi coming back, inform them to go to the hall and have a meeting, and I will wait for them in the living room." ”

"Yes, put the total!"
