Chapter 215: A lifesaver
After Li Hao finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and stepped down, without looking at the people of Huixian County.
The people sighed and felt extremely guilty.
As Li Hao himself said, he can obviously stay out of the matter and enjoy life in Lijiazhuang, Chang'an. The reason why he came to Huixian County thousands of miles away is not because he cares about the people and wants to lead everyone to defeat the flood as soon as possible?
During this time in Huixian, Li Hao has been asking for the lives of the people, and in order to exterminate the source of the epidemic, he led people to burn corpses regardless of the danger, putting himself at the source of the plague. In the city he divided the food equally, and never took a penny more. When someone oppresses the people, he is always the first to rush out to fight for them.
But what did the people do to him a few days ago?
"King Zhen'an is a good man, we all blame him."
"I don't know what happened a few days ago, we are all like crazy, the prince is such a good person, how can we not believe him?"
"Well, what's the use of saying that now? Be more considerate of the prince in the future! ”
The people sighed and left the square in silence.
Under the stage, Wan'er greeted her with a relieved look.
"Young Master, you should have done this a long time ago. From now on, no one will question your majesty! ”
Li Hao was noncommittal, just smiled indifferently.
Now that his arrangement has been completed, the next step is to see what means the companion Lu Yuchang said.
"Wan'er, I will take Liu Mao and Hei Dan out of the city to do errands in the next few days, and the affairs of the city will be arranged by you."
Wan'er had no objections and confidently accepted the task.
On the contrary, Liu Mao was a little puzzled why Li Hao made this decision.
"Lord Wang, the city has just stabilized, and if you leave suddenly, I'm afraid there will be an undercurrent."
Li Hao disagreed: "When hunting, don't push the prey too hard, otherwise it is very likely that the prey will eat back." A good hunter will leave a little space for his prey at a critical moment so that it can let its guard down! ”
Although Liu Mao didn't understand the meaning of Li Hao's words, he was relieved to see that he was so confident.
Li Hao never fights uncertain battles, since he is so calm, it means that he is ready to make a move.
The next day, Li Hao rode out of Huixian County with Liu Mao's black egg and all the members of the falcon team, and the people in the city, under the leadership of Wan'er, restarted the activities of rebuilding their homes.
Just as Li Hao was leaving, the dark dungeon door was suddenly opened. Yu Fang quietly entered the cell with a mysterious man wearing a hood.
In the depths of the dungeon, Cui Baitai and others were wearing prison uniforms and sitting on the ground with a wilted face.
Cui Baitai has been clothed and fed since he was a child, with a high bed and a warm pillow, and he never imagined that he would eat in prison one day. It's only been one night, and I'm already tortured and want to die.
At this moment, she is disheveled, unkempt, and completely devoid of the style of the son of the family on weekdays, and she is extremely embarrassed.
"Young Master Cui, don't come unharmed!" Yu Fang looked at the embarrassed Cui Baitai, not only did he not care about it, but his tone was a little joking and mocking.
But Cui Baitai didn't notice this, as soon as he saw Yu Fang, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and he pounced.
"Yu Fang, help me out, it doesn't matter how much it costs, take me out quickly. It's dirty and smelly, I can't stand it! ”
Yu Fang shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Don't be kidding, Master Cui, this is a prison cell, you were personally sent in by Li Haoqin, and the officials are soft-spoken, how can they save you out." Instead of looking for me, you might as well ask her! ”
Yu Fang stepped aside as he spoke, revealing the hooded man behind him.
"Who are you?" Cui Baitai asked suspiciously.
The hooded man did not speak, but reached out and lifted the hat from his head.
A pretty and incomparable face appeared in front of everyone's eyes, like a bright spring, and the dark dungeon seemed to be brightened by three points.
Cui Baitai didn't feel warm when he saw this beautiful face, but was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Li Ziyin! How did you end up here! ”
Li Ziyin snorted coldly: "Without Young Master Cui in charge, can your subordinates still be able to trap me Li Ziyin?" ”
Cui Baitai sat down in despair.
Indeed, now that Cui Baitai has been imprisoned by Li Hao, the Cui family's army has been scattered, if there is no person with enough weight to take command, where can they suppress Li Ziyin?
In order to enjoy the fruits of Li Hao's victory over Li Hao, Cui Baitai used violent means to put the Li family under house arrest in the mansion of the wealthy man, but now that Li Ziyin has regained her freedom, I don't know what she will do with herself.
Seeing his desperate look, the anger on Li Ziyin's face eased slightly, and she sighed: "Cui Baitai, Cui Baitai, I said a long time ago that Li Hao is not easy to deal with, and he must fight with the strength of the two of us to compete with him, why don't you listen to it, how does it feel to be a prisoner now?" ”
Cui Baitai snorted coldly: "If you are here to laugh at me, then your goal has been achieved, please put it!" ”
Li Ziyin shook her head helplessly: "I have analyzed the case of Cui Qinghe, Wang Qingyuan, Zheng Yingcai and Li Hao before. Cui Qingcong Wang Qingyuan and the two of them each had a ghost, and they obviously had an advantage in the battle with Li Hao, but they had internal strife, and finally buried themselves in vain. ”
"Zheng Ying is a good player, but he thinks very highly of himself, and he was eager to win after a small defeat, and finally made a mistake in his busy life, and was defeated by Li Hao in one fell swoop."
"What exactly did you say first?" Cui Baitai asked with a frown.
Li Ziyin looked at Cui Baitai with both eyes: "Now everyone with a discerning eye can see that it is the current saint who is supporting Li Hao's back." Our five surnames and seven hopes seem to be prosperous, but for hundreds of years, we have been fighting separately, like a plate of scattered sand, which will be broken one by one. If you want to defeat Li Hao, the thorn in your side, you must unite and unite with the outside world. ”
"Now that the five surnames and seven wangs have gone, there are only you and me, Fan Yang Lu and Zhaojun Li. If the four of us continue to fight separately as we once did, we will be completely reduced to the emperor's dogs in less than a year. So this time I risked my life to sneak into the dungeon, not to laugh at you, but to ask you for cooperation! ”
"Cooperation?" Cui Baitai smiled awkwardly: "Look at me now, what is the value of cooperation?" ”
"Although you are still in prison, the Cui family's power has not wavered. It is impossible for Li Hao to implicate the entire Boling Zheng family because of your personal behavior. So though you are in prison, you are far from despairing. ”
"Please tell me more carefully!" Hearing Li Ziyin say this, Cui Baitai's heart rekindled the flame of hope.
Li Ziyin leaned over and squatted: "Now Datang is worried about internal and external troubles. Floods are raging and people are displaced. Outside, there are Turkic tigers eyeing each other, like swords hanging high. As a last resort, the emperor did not dare to use violence against our five surnames and seven hopes, so he would find Li Hao, an 'outsider', to launch an attack. Therefore, if you and I can join forces and contribute to the people of Hongzhou in the follow-up post-disaster reconstruction work, what is the little responsibility you have committed at this moment? ”
"That's right, the merit can be worth it, if the people are favored by my Cui family, the emperor will definitely not be ruthless to me!" Cui Baitai suddenly opened his mouth and stood up excitedly.
At this moment, he really saw it as a lifesaver.
"Li Ziyin, I am willing to join forces with you, and when I get through this crisis, I must pay the price for what Li Hao did today!"
