Zhu Yunwen's reaction seemed to be expected by Li Bengan, and it seemed to be out of his original assumption.

It's just that at this time, everyone has already dispersed in the banquet.

Riding on that thin horse.

King Han Ming also took the thin horse away, and before leaving, he said to Li Wenxiang a promise to be the king and worship the prime minister, and finally let Zhu Yunwen smile on his face when he saw him for the first time.

When only Liu Zongsheng and Li Wenxiang were still whispering to each other, Zhu Yunwen snorted.

He stood up and stepped in front of the two of them.

"Mr. Liu, the head of the Li family, has been traveling for a long time recently, and I can't drink enough tonight, so I can't accompany you for a long time, I hope you will forgive me."

Li Wenxiang glanced at Zhu Yunwen, then turned his gaze to Li Bengan, who was accompanying Zhu Yunwen, and saw that the eldest son had no expression on his face, so he turned his head to look at Liu Zongsheng.

Liu Zongsheng smiled heartily: "Zhu Gongzi went to rest early, today's banquet is just to let Zhu Gongzi know all the people in Taiyuan City, and we will discuss the matter with no man's land in the next day."

Seeing that Liu Zongsheng opened his mouth, Li Wenxiang only echoed at this time: "Lord Wang, please take care of yourself, if there is a need, Li Fu should do his best to bring it."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and didn't say anything, just snorted a few times in succession.

After arching his hand and retreating, he turned around and looked for the direction to leave, and when he left the Yanxi area, he saw a servant of the Li Mansion coming out of the corner in the courtyard.

"The prince is going here, the palace has arranged a place for the prince, and the princess is waiting for the prince over there."

Zhu Yunwen had an uncertain look on his face, but in his heart, he was a little more vigilant about the Li family's carefulness from top to bottom.

He has long been a waste of the Ming clan, but after the Li family learned his identity, he respected himself as the king everywhere, and even Qiu Niang got the name of a princess who had never been there.

It's so careful, but it's heart-wrenching.

With a sigh in his heart, Zhu Yunwen nodded lightly: "Lead the way in front of the tired head."

The servant of the Li Mansion bowed down and walked in front to lead the way.

And in the courtyard banquet where Zhu Yunwen had just left.

Li Bengan looked at Zhu Yunwen's departing back and waved his hand.

The thin horses and the servants who were waiting during the banquet immediately retreated.

After only the Li family's father and son and Liu Zongsheng were left in the banquet, Li Bengan sneered twice.

He clenched his fists and looked at Liu Zongsheng: "Taibao can only rest assured now, he has already tested this person before, and he has no disagreement, and he has heard what he said, his face is frightened, and his heart is uneasy."

Liu Zongsheng's eyes were gloomy, looking into the depths of the dark courtyard, and he whispered, "But he didn't plan to tell me."

Li Bengan was silent for a moment.

Li Wenxiang, who was beside Liu Zongsheng, said with a smile: "It's just a waste person who was deposed by the Zhu Ming Sect, so he is naturally careful everywhere when he does things. He must have told Bengan that he would tell the Taibao if there was a next time."

Li Bengan immediately said: "It is true that as my father said, that man was angry, and he did warn his son that if my Li family has a next time, he will inform Yu Taibao."

After finishing speaking, Li Bengan looked at Liu Zongsheng silently.

Li Wenxiang, who was on the side, also stared at him with a smile.

Liu Zongsheng's eyes turned, and he suddenly smiled: "I want to achieve great things, be careful in everything, and now he has no different intentions. In the future, we can take advantage of his wisdom to bring down the Ming court as soon as possible."

Li Bengan rushed before his father, bowed down and said, "Taibao is eloquent and strategic, and he will be able to succeed and achieve great things!"

Liu Zongsheng smiled, but said quietly, "It is the Holy Sect that has achieved great causes, not a certain family."

Li Bengan was stunned and looked at his father.

Li Wenxiang waved his hand and gave Li Bengan a look.

The father and son said in unison: "The great cause of the Holy Sect is the great cause of the Taibao, and the Li family must follow the Taibao to achieve the great cause!"

The smile on Liu Zongsheng's face was even bigger, but there were a few wisps of cold light hidden under his eyes from being noticed.

He waved his hand: "Let's stop here today, I will disturb the Li Mansion recently, and on the day when the great cause of the Holy Sect is successful, I will reward the Li Mansion for helping now."

With that, he got up.

The Li family's father and son were just busy sending each other.

After Liu Zongsheng also left the courtyard here, the Li family's father and son looked at each other and smiled after a long time.

The two returned to the table.

Li Bengan poured a new glass of wine for his father.

He said in a low voice, "Zhu Yunwen really didn't dare to agree, but my son thinks that no one in the world covets that throne. Today is only because it is the first time they have met, so he will be vigilant, otherwise he will definitely explain to Liu Zongsheng on the spot what his son said to him today."

Li Wenxiang's eyes were shining, and he didn't look like he had drunk at all, only to see him leaning on the table behind him: "You can guess this, Liu Zongsheng will also guess." But you see he just asked. Therefore, we will never do this matter of wooing Zhu Yunwen in the future."

Li Bengan's face showed eagerness: "Could it be that our Li family really wants to make that stepping stone for Liu Zongsheng? He can coerce King Han Ming, why can't my Li family control Zhu Yunwen?"

With a hint of strictness on his face, Li Wenxiang swept towards Li Bengan: "Hutu! If we move again at this time, won't Liu Zongsheng secretly investigate my Li family? At this time, there is no incident, but he has really caused an incident, and the time is in time."

"In time, what?"

Li Bengan was a little incomprehensible.

The cooperation between Jin Shang and the White Lotus Sect was actually never sincere.

The Jin merchants, led by the Li family, wanted to get more benefits and benefits, and now the Ming Dynasty obviously can't give it.

They have rich money and food, but they have nowhere to spend it.

Comparing wealth is not the only pleasure and pursuit for the Li family and Jin Shang.

Therefore, from before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect, which existed from Shangshuo to the former Tang Dynasty, became the first choice of the Jin merchants.

borrowed the hand of the White Lotus Sect to stir up chaos in the world, and when the time came, beacon fires were ignited in various parts of the Central Plains, and the White Lotus Sect provoked uprisings in various places. When the world is full of rebel armies, the Jin merchants can choose the most potential one among them.

Or, the Jin merchants themselves elected a rebel army all the way.

And all this will have to wait until the Jin Shang controls everything in the White Lotus Sect except for people.

At that time, he can backhand Liu Zongsheng and these people to be suppressed.

The world has become the time for the Jin merchants to call the shots.

Relative.

The father and son of the Li family also knew that Liu Zongsheng was also wary of them Jin Shang by taking advantage of the White Lotus Sect under the control of King Han Ming.

Liu Zongsheng only wanted the money and grain accumulated over the years in the hands of the Li family and the Jin merchants, as well as the people who had been bought by the government and local guards over the years.

Liu Zongsheng is ruthless, and it is by no means the peace he shows on weekdays.

He would never tolerate the day when he achieved great things, and a group of Jin merchants told everyone that the reason why he Liu Zongsheng was able to achieve great things was because the Li family and Jin merchants provided him with money and food to dredge his joints.

The two parties are purely using the relationship, and they know it, but they know each other.

It was because of a brief common interest that they came together.

Li Wenxiang had a smile in his eyes: "Wait for the day when Zhu Yunwen sees Liu Zongsheng clearly, or when he finds out that Liu Zongsheng will not keep him to the end. At that time, Zhu Yunwen will inevitably think of the flowers you talked about with him today. When that time comes, it's time for us to take full control of him."

Li Bengan shut up and pondered, thinking about what his father said.

Li Wenxiang looked at his eldest son, who had high hopes, and said in a low voice: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he called himself Hanchen everywhere and did not change until his death. Now, as long as we hold Zhu Yunwen in our hands, the hearts of the people in the world will also be in the hands of our Li family.

With the banner of Zhu Yunwen, there is righteousness. The implementation of the new policy by the imperial court in the past two years has long caused local public resentment to boil. As long as Liu Zongsheng provokes chaos in the world, we will be loyal ministers on the side of the Qing king!

Former Tang ...... Later Tang ......

My Li family has been a royal bloodline since ancient times, so why can't I enter the throne of the Central Plains again!"

Li Bengan's eyes flashed.

Hundreds of years ago, the Li Tang Dynasty also started from this Taiyuan City.

Now, his Li family should be the same.

The moon shines brightly, shining through the shade of the trees in the courtyard.

The father and son of the Li family discussed for a while, even late at night.

……

Taiyuan City was quiet for several days, and nothing major happened.

It's just that I heard on the street, probably because the New Year is approaching, and many people always have a few things on their bodies when they go out.

For five whole days.

Zhu Yunwen stayed in the accommodation arranged by the Li family.

The residence was not in the compound of the Li Mansion, but in the courtyard of a private house between the Li Mansion and the Jin Palace.

Several courtyards around have now been arranged as the residences of Liu Zongsheng and his party.

Because Zhu Yunwen won Liu Zongsheng's appreciation, Fang Cai and Qiu Niang owned a courtyard alone. The yard is not big, but it has been cleaned up by Qiu Niang in just a few days.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that they were going to live in Taiyuan City for the rest of their lives.

Although, in the hearts of women, they are still full of worries about the future.

In the evening.

Zhu Yunwen was piling up bricks and stones under the courtyard wall, preparing to fill the last gap in the courtyard wall.

In the courtyard, Qiu Niang leaned out of the kitchen and looked out of the courtyard wall.

"Erlang, the concubine has fried the oil beans, and the mutton sent by Mr. Liu today has also been stewed, do you want to drink a few cups?"

Zhu Yunwen stood up from under the courtyard wall, stretched his head over the courtyard wall, and looked at the courtyard: "It will take a while, and I will go into the house to eat when I am done."

Qiu Niang wiped the sweat on her face with her apron, looking at the man who was busy in this small courtyard, with a happy smile on her face.

She turned around and went back to the kitchen, preparing to fry two more vegetables that were rare at this time sent by Liu Zongsheng, so that her own Erlang could drink two more sips of wine, and fortunately have a good rest after doing heavy work.

Zhu Yunwen outside the courtyard wall was really doing something to repair the courtyard wall, but in the middle of his busyness, there were already a few more small stones at the base of the wall under his feet.

It was the signal that he and Zhang Hui agreed upon.

After filling in the last section of the courtyard wall, Zhu Yunwen directly wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeves, and glanced at both ends of the alley, then he took a long breath and pushed open the courtyard door and walked to the kitchen.

Late at night.

As usual, the moon is shining.

It's just that under this bright moon, I don't know how many things that will happen that are not human.

When a dark cloud is blown by the wind from afar, blocking the bright moon, the night becomes the best cover.

Several black shadows flashed between the courtyard walls, moving silently against the shadows under the courtyard walls.

Zhang Hui was wrapped in black clothes, revealing only his eyes hidden under the black veil, revealing a bright luster.

Behind him, there were only two men.

The rest of the people waited for a signal in a vacant courtyard on the next street, ready to answer at any time.

Zhang Hui arrived outside Zhu Yunwen's courtyard, looked at the stones on the ground, and jumped into the courtyard without thinking too much.

After landing, there was no movement under his feet.

The two subordinates behind him also turned over and entered the hospital, landing silently, with two more daggers in their hands.

The three of them slowly approached the main house.

The sound of a burrowing rat came from under the window.

After a while, there was a sound of snoring in the house.

Soon, however, the snoring stopped.

And the door of the house, which had enough oil, was slowly opened.

Zhu Yunwen bowed out of the room, looked at the three people under the window, and didn't speak, just walked to a haystack next to the kitchen by himself.

When he got to the bottom of the haystack, he groped around the ground again, and finally found the cellar

on the lid of the wooden board.

opened the plank, and Zhu Yunwen jumped in first.

Zhang Hui turned around and gestured to the two, and the two immediately hid on both sides of the haystack, while he himself followed Zhu Yunwen into the cellar.

The wooden planks at the mouth of the cellar are covered to make the cellar fit tightly.

Zhu Yunwen was already squatting in the cellar at this time, lighting an incense candle.

The incense candle had been handled by him, and the light emitted after lighting it was only enough to illuminate the space between the two of them, and it was still dark outside.

Zhang Hui walked closer and looked at Zhu Yunwen with a frown: "What happened, I saw you fiddling with stones outside the alley today, and you are not afraid of being discovered?"

Zhu Yunwen snorted, "Liu Zongsheng is busy calculating how to get more money and food from the Jin merchants, and King Han Ming is busy waiting for the opportunity to kill Liu Zongsheng. They don't have time to stare at me right now."

Zhang Hui looked at Zhu Yunwen, nodded and said, "You still have to be careful, Your Highness gave me the fatwa, first of all, to protect the safety of you and your wife."

Zhu Yunwen snorted: "You should buy a yard not far away, and then dig a tunnel to this cellar, if something really happens, I can also run away with Qiu Niang."

Zhang Hui took the incense candle in Zhu Yunwen's hand, shone it around, and then said, "We really have to make this kind of preparation, don't worry, we will buy a yard and dig a tunnel in the next two days."

Seeing that Zhang Hui was persuaded.

Zhu Yunwen said again: "You still have to prepare a way to escape from Taiyuan City in advance, and it is best to dig a tunnel out of the city!"

This time, Zhang Hui was a little speechless.

He stared at Zhu Yunwen very seriously, wanting to see if the other party was joking with him.

Zhu Yunwen nodded heavily and said, "You really should dig a tunnel out of the city!" Even if you don't need to run away, you can let people sneak into the city!"
