Chapter 276: Bianliang Winter Night
Xiao Fuzi wrapped the leather jacket on his body tightly and exhaled a breath of hot air. Behind him, the two Qingshan Battalion villagers who looked a little nervous looked left and right, secretly on guard.
Xiaofuzi shook his head: "What's the panic?" The people of my Qingshan camp have thousands of brothers, and Lang Jun is the master above, and there are brothers guarding him...... Come out to do things, don't hesitate to be weak-hearted, benevolence and righteousness are the first to do the right thing for heaven! Lang Jun is still running thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River to do big things, and we still have the waist card of the palace marshal's mansion on us, just picking up people...... Calm down! ”
"Yes, Team!"
Not far away, there were dozens of Qingshan Battalion villagers dressed as Jianghu merchants and traders, each pretending to be resting travelers, but their eyes were all observing the movement on the dock intentionally or unintentionally.
This is the wharf in the upper reaches of the Bianhe River, and some of the official and commercial ships from the Jiangnan Canal will fork to the small wharf here to unload, although it is a little farther away, but it is not noisy and crowded.
A small Mapeng cargo ship is slowly coming, and there is a long peace lantern hanging on the stern, on which is clearly written a king character!
"Team, it seems to be this ship! Ying Tianfu's royal cargo ship. ”
Xiao Fuzi took a deep breath, looking forward to the guests coming from the ship...... Back then, he and Lang Jun and Song Wen were miserable and embarrassed and were driven out of Bianliang, how many little turtles on Wazi Street did not escape and were liquidated by Zixuanlou? Those who are killed and maimed are sold for hard labor! This Lan lady even tried to kill her own Langjun Song Wen several times......
"Stinky woman...... Lang Jun spared your life, Lao Tzu didn't want to let you go! When I rescue Sister Green Slave, I will take your life! ”
~~~~~~
Jinling City, Jiangning Prefecture.
Li Huo spit out a mouthful of dark black blood and fell on the bed staggeringly, and the second brother Li Wei beside him sighed, picked up his brother and gently fed him a sip of tea soup.
Li Huo grabbed his younger brother's wrist, and said with red eyes: "Is the immortal master really gone?" And captured Lan'er?"
Li Wei nodded: "Brother...... We've been deceived, and that demon is a liar! ”
"But his elixir, his elixir really makes people healthy and energetic! The old man, the old man has not been so healthy for more than ten years...... He, why did he arrest Lan'er?"
Li Wei shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he has a bigger background behind him, maybe it's ......."
Li Huo fell on the pillow in despair, gasping and said, "It won't be Daomen!" No, although the Daomen is valued by Emperor Zhao and Song, he is unwilling to get involved in these things! Jiangnan's heir Han Heavenly Master's Mansion is also unwilling to be too deeply involved in the world, they are avoiding it! They also saw that the Great Song Dynasty was unstable...... It won't be a door! Longmen Sect Quanzhen School...... Impossible...... Impossible......"
Li Wei thought about it again and again, but couldn't help but ask, "Brother, could it be...... Could it be that the people on the other side of Bianliang are making trouble behind their backs?"
"Who do you suspect? Cai Jing? Gao Yu? Wang Huang? They all want to leave a name in history, and they only care about the emperor's faith, who would be interested in this hidden treasure of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
Li Wei frowned and said softly, "Could it be, it's Song Wen?"
Li Huo was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips: "A lowly turtle man, he is a village soldier under Gao Yumen!" Even if he had a big business, how could he be able to send a figure like Yunlong Immortal Master to plan for him? And also...... Those Manichaean soldiers swept away the secret treasure gold, which was obviously Fang La's handiwork! A turtle male, where can he have such the ability to command Fang La's subordinates?"
Li Wei said in a low voice: "That's true, but that Xu Hu ...... Since the loss of the secret treasure, his military camp has been guarded very well, and he looks like he wants to break with us...... If it was really Fang La who snatched the treasure, he should attack us immediately, or let Xu Hu show favor to us! Xu Hu's performance makes people feel very strange......"
Li Huo gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention this dog thing, eat it inside and out...... actually took refuge in Fang La, that magic stick liar! Manichaeism...... Bright King Buddha, I'm bah! If there really is any god Buddha who comes into the world, can he still let Tong Guan kill that eunuch all the way?"
Li Wei nodded...... "Brother, then we ...... What should I do now? Is it to continue to confront Xu Hu in Jinling? Or do you want to find a way to buy him again?"
Li Huo took a breath and shook his head: "No, it's not necessary!" As soon as the treasure was lost, we and Fang La had already completely torn our faces...... Xu Hu chose Fang La, he knew that the old man would never let him go! You immediately let our Li clan's private soldiers move, let Xu Hu's dog thing be a shrunken turtle, and then quietly withdraw our Li clansmen and elites from Jinling City...... There are also goods and fine soft grains, grass and salt, all quietly transported to the north! Scattered and hiding in Yangzhou, Chuzhou, Haizhou, ready to go north by sea to support the Jurchen army at any time! ”
Without Gongsun Sheng's elixir, although Li Huo's body collapsed rapidly, his calm and wise reappeared on his body.
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, got up and replied, "Obey the orders of the head of the family!" But...... Brother, Lan'er's girl......"
Li Huo snorted: "Whether it is the Yunlong Daoist who robbed Lan'er or not, no matter who did it, they all want to make a deal with my Li family!" However, a mere girl is like forcing an old man to comply, no matter who it is, she has miscalculated...... My Li family's great cause of recovering the country, even if the old man's family dies, he will never give up! ”
Li Wei sighed, arched his hand and said, "Then wait and see what happens, just wait for the other party to make an offer!"
"Well, you also leave immediately and go to Ying Tianfu! Then hide your whereabouts...... The old man stayed in Jinling City to stabilize Fang La and Xu Hu first, in case Xu Hu or Fang La attacked the old man, he was not allowed to rescue or participate in the war, and the most important thing was to preserve the vitality of my Li family! Remember?"
Li Wei was shocked and fell to his knees...... "Brother, how can this be?" If you want to stay, I Li Wei will stay, you will work hard for the great cause of the Li family's restoration of the country for a lifetime! Even two sons were lost, and the eldest brother ...... Li can't live without you! ”
Li Huo smiled and said, "My brother, don't panic, eldest brother knows your mind...... But the eldest brother is old, and his body is no longer good! During this time, I still have to rely on you to support ......"
"Although the eldest brother goes to Yingtianfu to cultivate his body, there is a younger brother here in Jinling to bear the ...... Discipline that Fang La and Xu Hu can't take advantage! Also, there has been news back from Tong Guan...... Many Jiangnan gentry sent letters to show their goodwill, and many ships secretly transported a lot of grain, grass, gold and silver to Tong Guan, saying that they were in the thief camp and had the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts, and hoped that the royal division of the Great Song Dynasty would recover Jiangnan as soon as possible and save the Jiangnan gentry and the people ......from fire and water."
Li Huo sneered: "What are the families of a group of mercenary despicable villains?"
"Huizhou, Jianzhou Quanzhou...... Those powerful and local tycoons who respectfully provided food, grass and military salaries to Fang La at the beginning were all loyal to the imperial court! In Shezhou, Mingzhou, and Taizhou, many powerful families also began to secretly migrate and transfer their family children and property...... Either flee south to Leizhou Yazhou, or go north from the sea! ”
"These miscellaneous pieces at both ends of the first rat are mercenary and opportunistic! At the beginning~ How lenient was my Southern Tang Lord to them at the beginning? The Zhao and Song armies invaded the territory, and these gentry and wealthy families were the first to conceal the military situation, and they only knew how to wag their tails and beg for mercy to the Song people...... Now they are secretly agitating to support Fang La against the imperial court, and as soon as Fang La is defeated, he immediately kneels to the imperial court to flatter him...... What a bunch of despicable and shameless people! ”
Li Wei sighed: "The hearts of Jiangnan people are like this, how can they be a generation?" Since ancient times, those who have been in the south of the Yangtze River have all been rich and peaceful, but there has not been a dynasty that dominates Kyushu......"
Li Huo said with a crazy look in his eyes: "So we just need to be in a corner of peace, the Jurchens are as strong as dragons and tigers, the Khitans are not opponents, where can the Song people resist those thieves and armies?" If the Jurchens are not accustomed to water, they will not be able to attack the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, so we still have to bet on the northland......"
Li Wei frowned, but didn't say anything...... Suddenly, a confidant of Li Huo outside stood outside the door and said loudly: "The head of the Qiqi family, something has happened in Hangzhou!"
Li Huo's eyes stood up, and he asked, "But that Fang La definitely used troops against me in Jinling?"
"Homecoming, no! Fang La worshiped the Buddha in the Mani Temple outside Hangzhou, suddenly the heavens fell on the divine punishment, the thunder and fire blew up the big Buddha hall, Fang La and a group of henchmen suffered heavy casualties, it is said that Fang La was assassinated again on the way back to Hangzhou City! There is also the Heavenly Thunder God Punishment descending...... The city of Hangzhou was also burned by fire, and Fang La's mansion was burned down! Dozens of people were killed by thunder and fire, and the Manichaean people were in chaos! Legend of Fang La...... Seriously injured and dying! Fang Qifo has already led a large army from the real axis to Hangzhou to suppress the chaos! ”
Li Huo and Li Wei looked at each other...... Li Huo suddenly laughed and said, "Retribution, it's really retribution...... Hahaha...... Hahaha...... Fang La, the god stick, deceived the heavens and rebelled against my Southern Tang Dynasty relics, so the heroic souls of the previous lords of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent retribution to make him ruined and ruined, and there was no place to bury him...... Hahaha......"
Li Wei frowned, raised his head and said to the Li henchman outside the door, "Let's talk about it again...... Whether Fang La is dead or alive needs accurate news! Also, the movements of Fang Qifo's army should also be optimistic, whether the army of the Huangzhou generation of imperial court Tong Guan has moved, these must all be investigated! ”
The Li family's henchmen outside the door waited for a while, and saw that Li Huo, the head of his own family in the house, only heard a burst of laughter and coughing, and immediately bowed down to salute: "The villain has taken the order, so go and order the people to continue to inquire about the news!"
