Chapter 167: The Secret of Eighteen
After a bit of wine and meat, they began to affectionately call each other brothers and sisters with a few hundred households.
Especially after knowing that Xu Wu and Shen Ting were both from the Flame Flowing Cloud Lu family army, there was not even the last bit of estrangement.
Eighteen Niang and Cheng Chuying are girls in the end, and they are not suitable for drinking in this man's pile, so they went straight home.
When night falls, the distant mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the smoke is filled, as if they are going straight to the blue sky, and the heaven and earth are almost integrated.
Eighteen Niang changed into night clothes and went out with Xiping.
The small alleys of Songzhou are crooked, and they disappear when they turn around. The two of them didn't pick up the lights, turned around, and returned to the rejuvenation hall in front of the house.
"Knock, knock, knock", knocked six times in a row, and the small corner door cracked a crack, and a white and tender hand stretched out from it.
Xiping put the jade plaque on it, and the door opened.
Eighteen Niang dodged with her and walked in quickly. It was pitch black there, and Steward Liu stood aside respectfully, where there was still daytime jumping and neatness, and he was actually calm.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke Fan Yang dialect, without any Shu accent.
"Little lady, this Sima is more than shoucheng, and he has no intention of being motivated, so he is inactive. The Zhang family has been operating here for generations, and the Zhang Wentian Zhang is also close to their family. The Zhang family is rich, but there is only one thing to worry about. The three generations of the Zhang family were passed down alone, but in Zhang Sima's generation, they only got three daughters and married a room of concubines, none of whom could give birth to sons. ”
Eighteen Niang nodded, "What about Liu Changshi?" ”
"Liu Changshi was born in a poor family and has a narrow vision, but in terms of farming, he is a capable official. In the past, Lord Thorn Shi also entrusted him with the management of general affairs. ”
"Got it. You can find a shop for me in Songzhou, I want to store grain, and I will do rice and grain business externally. In addition, Dongzhu sent a message before, so how prepared was the armor? ”
Steward Liu frowned, "Little Niang, I shouldn't have asked, this army all brings its own grain, grass and armaments, how can it still be prepared by Xiao Niang and Shizi?" ”
Eighteen Niang smiled, "In case of emergency, there will be a vicious battle to be fought in Songzhou soon, and it may be besieged in the future, we have food in our hands, and we don't panic." ”
Steward Liu nodded solemnly, "Little lady, do you want to see that person now?" It's all ready, as long as the little lady gives an order, we will let the people go unknowingly. ”
As the two spoke, they went down to the ground, and walked in the winding secret passage for I don't know how long, and then came to another secret room.
Eighteen Niang stretched out her head to take a look, and saw that Li Zifen was sleeping inside, very sweet.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Li Ziqi wanted to get out of Chang'an, and Enke suddenly became all the sons of the family on the list, Zhang Wentian was obviously a confidant of the Son of Heaven, why did he suddenly jump out and ask Zhao Yi three times, and Li Zifen disappeared by coincidence?
Such a series of things seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are all strung together into a line, in order to give Li Ziqi a legitimate opportunity to grasp the military power.
Of course, this kind of line will not be innate, it can only be artificial.
Now that this opportunity is there, it's time for Li Zifen to go out and fulfill her mission.
"Didn't I just ask you to temporarily arrest Li Zifen? Why did there still be a war and heavy casualties? ”
Steward Liu sweated, "You just give me nine lives, and I don't dare to provoke a war between Tubo and Great Chu." On that day, we were going to arrest people according to your plan, detaining them for two days, and when the emergency report went to Chang'an, we would release the princess.
Unexpectedly, before he could do it, Princess Decheng's family sending team was attacked. I saw that those people were sturdy and their faces were flushed, they should have been disguised by the Tubo people, in order to kill the princess of Decheng and take the opportunity to provoke. ”
"Don't forget, there is already a princess of Rongyang in Tubo, she knows best, Da Chu Tianzi doesn't have such a daughter as Decheng at all, but she just uses a concubine to fool Tubo. The scene was extremely chaotic, and our men took advantage of the chaos to arrest her, and after that, she was put to sleep all the time, and she did not dare to act rashly for a moment. ”
Eighteen Niang breathed a sigh of relief, if this is the case, then she can be regarded as a crooked fight, and Li Zifen will be killed.
People always have to put it, but how to put it and when to put it must be very particular.
Eighteen Niang whispered a few words to Steward Liu, and Steward Liu nodded without changing his face, "No."
When the eighteenth mother returned home, Li Ziqi had not yet returned home. Cheng Chuying was still playing with the whip, and in the brightly lit hall, Zhang Wentian was holding a tea cup and drinking pepper tea leisurely.
"As soon as you drink this pepper tea, Xiaosheng will come back to life, Mrs. Li wants to drink a cup?"
Eighteen Niang shook her head, she couldn't get used to this taste, and her lips and tongue were numb when she ate some people.
"Master Zhang can't take a carriage, how did he run from Bashu to Chang'an to catch the exam?"
Zhang Wentian shook his head suddenly, "No wonder you want to tell me about the allusion to minced meat." Don't you know that there is an animal in this world called a donkey? Riding a little donkey and holding a book is the most pleasant. ”
Eighteen Niang was a little embarrassed, how did she know that Zhang Wentian would faint the horse or not?
"Thanks to Lord Zhang's help this time?"
"I don't know why you're here. I just did what my teacher said, although Li Ziqi hated it, but he was also my fellow disciple, and I made some sacrifices for him, even if it was a meeting gift. It's just that I won't keep my hand in the future, I'm a prisoner, and if he makes a mistake, I'll definitely break it right away and join him. ”
Eighteen Niang smiled, "It should be so." ”
On the same day, she sent a letter to Zhang Wentian, begging for nothing else, but begging him to introduce Mr. Jinghu for Li Ziqi.
Now that the imperial examination is on the rise, there are very few real children from poor families who can study, let alone pass the examination. This Zhang Wentian is a lucky one, and he has been taught by Mr. Jinghu, a master outside the world, so that he has today's status.
Otherwise, why do you think Zhao Yi chose the young Zhang Wentian as the leader of the Hanmen?
A person who is a son of heaven will never decide the fate of a student based on his senses alone.
Eighteen Niang also felt strange, so she found out this relationship.
Sure enough, with Zhang Wentian's recommendation, after Mr. Jinghu took the school examination, he decisively accepted Li Ziqi as a closed disciple.
That's it, Zhang Wentian inexplicably smashed Zhao Yi's hammer, sounded the Dengwen drum, and asked the Son of Heaven three times!
"Not long after, Eighteen Niang still has one more thing to ask for, I hope that Lord Zhang will not postpone it, this matter can make Lord Zhang famous all over the world."
