Chapter 309: Counter-Tactics and Counter-Countermeasures
The manager didn't answer anything, put down the teacup and said lightly: "Li Zhixian, I said it when the general ordered me to come to you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If I take your money or property with my left hand, cut off my left hand, take your money and property with my right hand, cut off my right hand, and cut off my hands with both hands. Do you want me to be crippled by giving me these things now?"
Li Yaoting has been in the officialdom for many years and is familiar with the unspoken rules. An important court official who has never known anything in his life sends someone to show favor and does not want your money, then there must be a major plan.
Seeing Li Yaoting's hesitation, the chief manager already knew what he was thinking, and although he had a smile on his face, he was hideous: "Li Zhixian, my general said it." If you take refuge in him, you will be promoted to the rank of warden at once. Otherwise, I'll be treated as if I haven't been here. ”
Hearing the manager's hidden threats, Li Yaoting was so troubled. Since being educated by the red flames, he really doesn't dare to do anything wrong. He doesn't want to be promoted or get rich now, he just wants to be his magistrate in peace, but troublesome things always come to his head.
Li Potian will not reward himself for no reason, there must be conditions. If you agree to take refuge in him, you will become his slave, and you will have to obey unconditionally whatever you do, otherwise it will be a dead end. If you don't take refuge in him, you will die faster, and you don't even know how to die.
The general asked, "Li Zhixian, how are you thinking about it?" The general is still waiting for me to reply. ”
Li Yaoting asked cautiously: "Big butler, forgive me for talking too much." What does a general need to do with his humble position?"
The general became serious: "The general wants to do a big business, and he needs a capable minister like you." Don't you understand?"
Only then did Li Yaoting realize that he was really caught in a conspiracy, and it was impossible to get out, so he could only be as good as he was.
It was only after arriving in Qinglong East County that he really understood that Li Potian's conspiracy was so big that Li Yaoting couldn't sleep.
Yesterday I received a report that a county under its rule had come to gang up with robbers and beat the county officials away to seek autonomy. Generally speaking, when this kind of thing happens, Li Yaoting only needs to send a military general to clean it up. But he had to go out in person, and no one could persuade him.
Before they could reach the county seat where the accident occurred, the group occupying the county town had already received the letter, and they actually took the initiative to attack, and the two armies met halfway through.
In the face of a strong enemy, Li Yaoting was not afraid of death at all, although he did not know martial arts, he took the lead in the charge, but he was defeated because the opponent's combat strength was too strong.
Even so, Li Yaoting still did not retreat, if it wasn't for his subordinates forcibly pulling him away, maybe he would be a corpse by now.
After listening to Li Yaoting's words, Honghuomiao asked, "Does Master Li want to fight to the death in order to win the name of loyalty." “
Li Yaoting sighed: "Only in this way can I preserve my reputation." ”
Red Flame asked again, "What is the origin of the people who fought with you?"
Li Yaoting said with shame: "I wanted to die in battle at that time, but I didn't investigate carefully. ”
Meteor Flash stood up and said, "Sister Hong, I'll go check it out right away." ”
After Hong Huomiao nodded in agreement, he asked Li Yaoting again: "When this kind of thing happens, why don't you report it to the court, isn't there still Prime Minister Zhang in the court?"
Li Yaoting sighed and said, "Red Immortal Gu, I won't have personal freedom when I go to Qinglong East County. Li Potian sent two people to be my deputies, ostensibly to help me govern Qinglongdong County, but in fact to spy on me. My recitals and letters, they have to be checked before they can be issued. Even when I went to visit relatives' houses, they followed. ”
Red Flame asked again, "Then why did they let you go upstairs by yourself?"
Li Yaoting replied: "This is thanks to my fighting to the death, they were all injured in order to protect me, and they were carried back for treatment." ”
Red Flame said thoughtfully, "I see." Then he said to Li Yaoting: "It seems that Li Potian attaches great importance to you and ordered death to protect you." But you haven't said the core question, why are you going to die?"
Li Yaoting knew that he couldn't coax the red flames, so he had to say: "I don't know the specific things, but I guess they may want to rebel." I am favored by the emperor, and I must not do anything to be sorry for the emperor. But I couldn't bring down Li Potian, so I had to show my loyalty to death. ”
Li Yaoting's words really impressed Honghuomiao with him, but he didn't expect him to have such integrity. It is better to die for loyalty than to live for rebellion. Such a person must help him.
Honghuomiao asked, "Lord Li, didn't they make any unusual moves when they transferred you to Qinglong East County?"
Li Yaoting recalled: "There were a few abnormal behaviors. The first is for me to fabricate charges and put three magistrates under Prime Minister Zhang Cheng in prison; the second is to hoard a large amount of grain, a lot of grain in my own county and in other counties; and the third is to expand the army, and many new recruits have been recruited recently. ”
Honghuomiao understood, Li Potian wanted to rely on Qinglong Dongjun to rebel, but fortunately I met it.
Honghuomiao thought for a while and said, "Master Li, you don't have to be afraid, and you don't always want to die. Since you are loyal to the emperor, then I will show you a way to take refuge in Zhang Zigongzi. ”
Li Yaoting's eyes lit up, and then darkened again: "It's a pity that I can't catch Zhang Zigongzi's line." Even if I hitched a ride, it didn't work, I didn't have a chance to get in touch. ”
Red Huomiao smiled: "With me here, what are you worried about." ”
Li Yaoting came to his senses, since Honghuomiao pointed out this path to himself, he would definitely not talk nonsense without purpose, he must be confident, and hurriedly said: "Please ask the Red Fairy Gu to show the lower officials a way to live." ”
Red Flame Seedling replied, "In the future, you continue to show loyalty to Li Potian, and let him feel your loyalty, so that you will have the opportunity to know more about it." I will arrange a person in this hotel, you can give him the information if you have it, and he will naturally send the information to Zhang Zigongzi. As for your safety, including the safety of your family, I will let the Batwing Fairy protect it with all my might. Can you rest assured?"
Li Yaoting hurriedly stood up and thanked him: "It's really God's favor, let the Red Fairy Gu help me." Thank you, thank you. ”
Honghuomiao also stood up: "If Master Li has no objections, then please go back." Three days later, you come to the restaurant for dinner. Someone will add food to you and say, 'I wish you a prosperous governance of Qinglongdong County.'" This person is arranged by me, and you will contact him in the future. ”
Li Yaoting was very satisfied with the arrangement of the red flames, and nodded again and again: "The red fairy girl is too thoughtful, then I will leave." ”
After Li Yaoting left, Honghuo Miao asked Yun Lifei to invite Huang San over.
The two sides said a few polite words, and Hong Huomiao said straight to the point: "Third Brother Huang, someone will come to your hotel tomorrow as a partner, and you let him specially receive dignitaries." Especially when Li Junshou arrived, he had to be in charge of the reception. ”
Huang San had already received the order of the purple-faced true monarch and unconditionally obeyed the instructions of the red flame, so he didn't ask what the reason was, and completely obeyed: "Sister Hong, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it properly." ”
After a while, the meteor flashed back, and eagerly reported to the red flames: "Sister Hong, I have found out." This is a group of demon soldiers, led by the Locust King. His soldiers are all locusts. ”
Hong Huomiao nodded and said, "No wonder Li Yaoting was defeated so desperately, it turned out to be a demon soldier who knew magic." What are they doing now?"
Meteor Flash replied, "After they defeated Li Yaoting, they immediately collected their troops and returned to the county seat. They put up notices in the county seat, asking each village to sacrifice boys and girls for a month for the locust king to practice magic. ”
"Damn. Honghuo Miao was very angry, and immediately ordered: "Meteor Flash, you immediately go back to the mountain and ask your father to help, and at the same time call the Blue Cat Demon Suppression Team to cooperate with the Goshawk Great Immortal to exterminate the Locust King." ”
Meteor Flash stood up and asked, "Do you want to call my second uncle?"
Red Flame replied, "If he's on the mountain, you can tentatively scream." ”
"Okay. Meteor replied and left.
Red Flame said to the Invisible Ground, "You go to the Spiral Cave immediately to invite the Batwing Fairy." ”
There were only Honghuo Miao and Yun Lifei left in the room, and Yun Lifei asked, "Sister Hong, don't you ask us to keep a low profile and not mess around?
Red Flame replied, "For those who are mischievous, or those who are not immortals or demons, we can pretend to be confused. But these demons who blatantly harm the people must not be soft, otherwise the world will be in chaos. ”
Yun Lifei nodded and said, "I understand." ”
After a while, the goshawk immortal and the goshawk two immortals walked in one after another.
After getting to know each other, Hong Huomiao said: "I have long heard that the second uncle of the goshawk is handsome and mighty, and when I saw it today, it was indeed the case." ”
The two goshawk immortals smiled modestly: "Meteor Flash has always talked about Sister Hong, and when I saw it today, she is indeed a trustworthy sister." Since Meteor Flash has followed you, my body has healed, and I, as an uncle, would like to express my gratitude. ”
The Goshawk Great Immortal is a master-level, and he doesn't have to be polite when talking to the red flames: "I heard Meteor Flash say that the Locust King is harming the people in the earthly world, and they must be destroyed." ”
The two immortals of the goshawk followed and said: "It seems that the red flame is really dedicated to the dust, and it is worthy of my admiration." ”
Red Huomiao didn't seem interested in the praise of the two immortals of the goshawk: "I'm not that high. The Locust King once bullied Meteor and nearly killed him. This revenge must be avenged, but our exercises are too poor, it's okay to make trouble if we have nothing to do, and we will die in vain to deal with these demon soldiers. That's why I asked the master to save face. ”
The Goshawk Great Immortal understood that Honghuomiao's words were purely said to the two goshawk immortals, so he cooperated: "Honghuomiao, you are also a disciple of a famous family, how can you always think about messing around." I heard that a few days ago, you went to Baihuadu to make trouble. When this happens, the master really has to criticize you. One is that this kind of place is not a place where a sect like you and a place of your age go. Second, we should not lose our morality after drinking and smash Baihuadu. ”
Honghuomiao's face turned red, and he hurriedly apologized: "Master Goshawk, I know that I am wrong. ”
Goshawk Daxian continued to educate: "Although you have poor exercises, you must study and practice hard, so that you may be able to become a generation of famous immortals." ”
At this time, the meteor flashed in, and said excitedly: "Dad, second uncle, Sister Hong, I also called the eagle and goose team, this time I will see where the big locust is running." If you dare to beat me, you have to clean them up this time. ”
