Chapter 220
"Brother......!" This brother's cry was so poignant that Li Xiao almost didn't have the courage to turn back.
Li Xiao was even willing to face the fierce Eight Banners charge, but he was not willing to face this pair of pitiful big eyes.
This time I came back, but I only stayed for half a month. In the past half a month, he has been busy with rocket artillery with Yu Lao and Inafuyou from time to time. The time spent with Xiaoyu was very short, which made Li Xiao full of guilt for his sister.
Xiao Yu hugged Li Xiao's thigh and didn't speak, her big eyes fanned out, and tears poured out like spring water.
I really want to harden my heart and take Xiaoyu to Shanhaiguan. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed hard, God knows how many secret agents there are in Shanhaiguan. In case any of the forces on either side want to attack themselves, and instead attack Xiaoyu, then they will not be able to live.
"Xiaoyu is good, the eldest brother is going to run errands. What do you want, the second brother will buy it for you, how about the stuffed bear last time, the second brother will let you get another one. Li Xiu came over to pull his sister, but Xiaoyu desperately hugged Li Xiao's thigh and refused to let go.
"Xiaoyu! The third brother was in Macau last time, and he saw a big white cat with blue eyes, which was very good-looking. Xiaoyu is obedient, and the third brother will get you one back. Li Hu tied his hands beside him, not daring to lay his paws. If it really hurts Xiaoyu, Li Xiao has to throw him into the sea.
"I don't want a big white cat, I want a big brother. Big brother, if you don't go, okay. Xiaoyu will be obedient and write ten big characters every day. In order to keep Li Xiao, Xiaoyu immediately opened his highest price.
His temples were bruised, and Li Xiao felt that facing Nurhachi's tens of thousands of troops, it was not as difficult as this time.
In the end, Sister Qiao rushed over, took Xiaoyu's hand and whispered to persuade her. After getting on the boat, Li Xiao plunged his head into the cabin without showing his head. He really didn't want to see Xiao Yu's big eyes that were swollen from crying!
"Fucking beggars, I'm going to break you into pieces." Li Xiao gritted his teeth and planned to stay on Changxing Island for two months and wait until autumn to go to Juehua Island. But now, I have to go to the capital again.
If the general army wants to enter the capital, it must be ordered by the emperor Lao Tzu. However, this refers to the general army, and Li Xiao is naturally not among them.
Because the general soldiers were not qualified to do business with the emperor, and they had no money to give the windows of the emperor's house, they were replaced with glass windows that were expensive to death. I also have no ability to get a huge dressing mirror for His Majesty the Emperor from a distant place.
These Li Xiao have done it, and what makes other general soldiers even more out of reach is that there are still 9,000-year-old shares in his business, and there are even shares of adults in the capital.
Therefore, Li Xiao had no intention of entering Beijing, and he didn't even bother to take care of the imperial history. It is estimated that it is useless to take care of it, after all, His Majesty the Emperor is usually very busy, and he has little time to read those nasty pieces. In order to allow His Majesty the Emperor to eat, drink and have fun in a timely and powerful manner, it is usually the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong who overtakes all the holy decrees.
The ship arrived at Shanhaiguan, and the spy company transferred from Yuan Chonghuan's command had been waiting at Shanhaiguan for a day. Coupled with the spy company that Li Xiao transferred from Ao Canghai, this time Li Xiao only brought more than 200 people into Beijing. Compared to the last time, it was much more low-key.
After all, it is the capital, and there must be awe.
Almost did not stop at Shanhaiguan, Li Xiao rushed to the capital with two spies and fast horses.
When he saw Ai Husheng, this guy looked like he had just been dug up from the Pharaoh's tomb, and his body was covered with bandages.
After watching through the glass window for a while, Li Xiao left. Every nook and cranny of the room was sprayed with spirits, which was considered a sterile area. Li Xiao didn't want to go in by himself, and the guys sprayed the spirits again.
"How's the guy?" In the tea room next to him, Li Xiao sat on a chair. Xie Youcai diligently poured a cup of tea and stood beside him. The fifth master was opposite Li Xiao, and his buttocks seemed to have sores on his buttocks, and he was always writhing.
"The gunpowder of the other party was not too powerful, but the blown car board hit the person, and the whole body was covered with wood chips. Especially in the face, one almost hit the eye. ”
"Is there anything wrong with the internal organs?" Li Xiao interrupted the fifth master's words irritably, and didn't get to the point after talking for a long time.
"The internal organs are fine, they are all external injuries. The medical officer said that after two or three months of recuperation, he would almost recover. But the wound on the face will leave a scar! "The fifth master was a little nervous when he spoke, he was engaged in news. The beggar gang wanted to intercept and kill Ai Husheng for such a big thing, and he didn't receive any news beforehand.
Li Xiao nodded, the internal organs were fine. It should be fine to recuperate from trauma for two or three months, and compared to disability, a scar on the face is not a big deal.
"Eight of the guards died, if they didn't happen to meet Lord Xu that day, the consequences would be unimaginable." Seeing that the fifth master was a little nervous, Xie Youcai hurriedly slipped around the side to divert the topic.
"I want to thank Master Xu for preparing a good banquet. In Donglaishun, I invited Lord Xu and Lord Tian to dinner. Fifth master, you go and help me make a post. Although he knew in his heart that Xu Xianchun was a bastard, Li Xiao had to get this favor. When you arrive in the capital, you should invite someone to a meal or something.
"No!" After getting Li Xiao's order, the two bowed down and retreated to do business.
I was beaten and I don't know how to fight back. This is Li Xiao's current situation!
Inside and outside the capital, there are more than 100,000 Hanako who ask for food. There are countless alleys, and God knows where the beggar gang leader Hong Qi is hiding. Turn the capital over to find it, Li Xiao doesn't have that ability.
However, Jin Yiwei can borrow it, and it is not to talk about riding the world. For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei has already penetrated into all corners of the Ming Dynasty. The arrogant Dongchang is compared with others, and it is simply worse than the heels.
As for the fifth master, a foreigner who has just come to the capital for a year. It's good to be able to do it now! Damn, do you have to get an intelligence agency too? Perhaps Li Yongfang is a qualified candidate. Thinking of Li Yongfang, Li Xiao thought of green beads again. This girl seems to be in the capital, and she also has some eyeliner. Last time, she was able to hook up with even the emperor.
Inside the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, Xu Xianchun held a large front door in his hand and respectfully put it on Tian Ergeng's table.
"What is this for?" A big front door, that's a big deal. Tian Ergeng waved the folding fan and patted the large front door wrapped in brown paper with a smile. On the black market, this box of big front doors can be sold for sky-high prices.
"Li Xiao has come to the capital, and I saved his men a few days ago. I specially brought a box of cigarettes to thank me, and this matter is all up to the adults. How dare the lower officials be greedy! There are also two boxes of Wuliangye, which have been sent to the steward of your house. ”
"Oh!" Tian Ergeng let out an "oh" and took out a knife to open the kraft paper. took out two large front doors and threw them to Xu Xianchun: "Take them back and smoke them." As he spoke, he opened a box.
"Whew!" Xu Xianchun hurriedly picked up the match on the table and lit a cigarette for Tian Ergeng.
"Li Xiao is still on the road, and this time with the help of the beggars, he got a favor. This transaction can be regarded as a loss, the insider you manage will be credited once, and 100 households will be promoted. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Tian Ergeng said that the Jinyi guard, who had been undercover in the beggar gang for seven years, could be regarded as having survived.
"My lord, we might as well help Li Xiao destroy Hong Qi. In this way, with Li Xiao's character, he will definitely not let us help in vain. ”
"You're stupid! Dongchang, Shuntianfu, and those internal supervisors under Wang Tiqian, they are all blind? Why didn't they make a move? It's your turn to be in the limelight and die! ”
"Isn't it Qian Qianyi from Jiangnan who instructed the beggars to fight against Li Xiao? It's just a down-and-out person, are adults still afraid of him? Xu Xianchun didn't understand Tian Ergeng's approach.
"Call you stupid, you're stupid. Isn't it just a down-and-out person in Jiangnan? The wealthy and powerful Jiangnan chaebol behind him, although Donglin is finished. But the Jiangnan chaebol has strong capital, and he doesn't have to worry about finding people in the imperial court. Remember, money can make the devil grind. really forced them to be anxious, and gave tens of thousands of taels of silver to nine thousand years old. You see, whether it is your head that falls to the ground, or whether the nine thousand years old will refuse the silver.
Besides, the power of the Jiangnan chaebols in the capital is intertwined. Even has a close relationship with some royal relatives, and some things are better for us to stay away. And Qian Qianyi seems to have been entrusted by Jiangxi Longhu Mountain to find trouble with Li Xiao, these old ways have close contacts with His Majesty and the people around His Majesty, and there are some things that even I don't know. This time, I just want Li Xiao to owe us a favor and take the opportunity to ask him for some benefits.
Remember! In this matter, you are not allowed to participate in this matter in the future, and no one in Jinyiwei is allowed to participate. No matter what benefits Li Xiao promises to give you, how much money he gives you. Do you understand?
Violators! Chop! "Jinyiwei is one of the 24 guards set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, although it has been more than 200 years, it is still military law. Tian Ergeng was afraid that Xu Xianchun would be greedy for money and not know the situation, so he finally gave a death order.
"No!" Xu Xianchun hurriedly agreed, but he didn't expect the water behind this matter to be so deep. Now Xu Xianchun doesn't have the pride he had just now, but is a little afraid. If he destroys other people's plans, will people be angry with him and find a way to fix him.
Over the years, for Wei Zhongxian, he has really offended a group of people to death. Not to mention anything else, those disciples and grandchildren of the Donglin Party are eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood. If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng, it is estimated that the bones would be able to beat the drum now.
"But this time Li Xiao actually came in person, and it is estimated that Hong Qi's life is coming to an end. Let's just watch a good show, and we don't need to spend so much thought. As long as Your Majesty doesn't speak, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Hey! One is the Siberian tiger in Liaodong, and the other is a big insect in Jiangnan. I want to see if the big insects are powerful, or the white-fronted tigers in the Northeast are more ferocious. Thinking that Li Xiao was going to face off against the Jiangnan chaebol, Tian Ergeng couldn't wait to watch a good show.
"Those people in Jiangnan are all scholars, how can they beat Li Xiao. That's someone who has even done a tartar! ”
"Huh! There are a lot of twists and turns in this, and the soft knife kills people even more. In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence, money can make the ghost grind. The Jiangnan chaebol has been laid out since the Wanli Dynasty, and the background is much thicker than that of Li Xiao. He has only been up for a few years!
It is still unknown who killed the deer! ”
The two were talking, and Choi Yingyuan walked in after the roll call.
"My lord, Hao Wu is here. said that he was posting for General Li, and invited the two adults to Donglai Shun for a banquet tonight. ”
"Oh! This kid is really on the road, and he just arrived in the capital and invited us to dinner. This face has to be given, you go and reply to Hao Wu. Today, you must disturb this glass of water and wine. Tian Ergeng nodded proudly, he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he had to bring it up to Li Xiao today.
"Cui Yingyuan, you are also ready to prepare. Tonight, come with us to the feast. I heard that the mutton shabu of Donglaishun is a must in the capital. Everyone also tastes it, what a trick! Seeing that Cui Yingyuan wanted to go out, Tian Ergeng said again.
"Thank you, sir!" When Cui Yingyuan heard this, he happily went out. Li Xiao treats guests, then good wine and good food are a must. Speaking of Wuliangye's wine, Cui Yingyuan has been greedy for a long time. It's just that it's too expensive and always out of stock, and it's really not easy to have a drink. I'm going to drink the fuck today!
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun glanced at each other and laughed out loud in unison.
When it was time to arrive, Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun took Cui Yingyuan to Donglaishun.
The downstairs is still full of pits and valleys, and it looks like the influence of the beggars has passed. Xie Youcai greeted him at the door and directly took the three of them and the guards to the private room on the third floor. The guards were all arranged in a large private room, and Tian Ergeng and the others were taken to a rather delicate small private room next to them.
Li Xiao personally stood at the door to greet him, and when he saw Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun, he immediately clenched his fists and gave them up.
"If it weren't for Lord Xu a few days ago, my family's steward's life would have been explained. Li thanks! ”
"Mr. Li said this far away, everyone is a brother. Your housekeeper was hunted down and killed, can we still stand by and watch? If I say this to you, I will punish you with three glasses in a while. Tian Ergeng laughed and made fun of Li Xiao, and the four of them entered the private room with a smile.
The meat is fresh lamb meat, and the wine is Cui Yingyuan's Wuliangye when he hears it. The guest and host frequently raised their glasses to toast, and Li Xiao repeatedly expressed his gratitude. Xu Xianchun even said that they were all brothers, especially after Xie Youcai got a few girls who sang songs, the scene immediately became enthusiastic.
"Brother! My brother has a reluctant request, and I don't know if my brother can agree. "Tian Ergeng is almost sixty years old this year, and he still calls Li Xiao a brother.
"Brother Tian has something to say!" Today was originally a return of favors, but now Tian Ergeng has spoken. Li Xiao naturally wants to listen to what people want.
"Your musket is good, but the musket of the Franco machine man is not as good as yours. We Jinyiwei want to buy a batch, brother, look ......! Tian Ergeng looked at Li Xiao's face and said.
"It's not ......!"
"Brother! Brothers! Not finished yet, except for the muskets. We also want grenades and mortars, you see ......! ”
Seeing that Li Xiao had the intention of agreeing, Tian Ergeng hurriedly increased.
"Brother Tian, it's no problem to give you a hundred muskets. In the face of our eldest brother, my brother can also give 1,000 rounds of bullets. Lord Xu saved my housekeeper, and this grenade can also be sold to Jinyiwei.
It's just a mortar......! ”
"How?" Tian Ergeng frowned, what he wanted most was mortars. This thing is the fastest firing gun of the year!
"Truth be told, this thing has a long range. The Forbidden City is all within range of this thing, Your Majesty has something to say. This thing must not appear in the capital, the last time I brought it to Tongzhou, the prince came to ask. If you want this, I'm afraid you'll have to speak for Your Majesty. ”
"Uh......! I see. ”
