Chapter 429: Ulterior Motives
Whether it was Gu Laosan or the innkeeper who bought tea for them, they were a little puzzled by the conversation between the two.
Who is this person, and their Zheng Da master, when have you heard these big truths?
Lin Manliu looked at the puzzled eyes of the two and immediately made a proposal.
"Can the shopkeeper find more tea, and we can distribute it to the brothers to make their own tea later, and Brother Gu should send the villagers back to the village first?"
No matter how dull the two are, they are also old, and they both heard the meaning of the teenager.
Gu Laosan spoke first: "It's time to cook later, I'll take the villagers back to report safety first!" ”
The shopkeeper of the post station also shouted: "Okay! I'll bring it up later, guys, wait a minute! ”
When the idlers dispersed, only Zheng Lian and Lin Manliu were left in the post station.
The yellow-shirted figure sat on the right side of Zheng Lian, his body facing Lin Manliu, but his head was tilted towards Zheng Lian.
Seeing that the comer didn't mean to speak, Zheng Lian took the lead in clenching his fists.
"Presumably, Your Excellency is the owner of Yijian Villa!"
Ye Dang listened: "Exactly! ”
Zheng Lian responded: "Then Zheng has some new insights into the previous problem..."
He glanced at the boy as he spoke, and slowly exhaled.
Lin Manliu spoke up: "Brother Zheng can just say whatever he wants, and we will judge by ourselves!" ”
Zheng Lian nodded, then picked up a tea bowl and placed it on its left side.
"Most of the rebels who suddenly appeared in the boundary of the Eastern Capital were subordinates of King Wu of Hebei, because in the news I heard earlier, it was determined that the leader of the rebels was Guan Xiao, who was known as 'the young Lin of the world'..."
Then he picked up another tea bowl and placed it on its right side.
"And the person in charge of the encirclement and suppression is the general of the eastern capital-Wang Chong, this general Wang is now sitting at the foot of the mountain in person, but he has not been able to take Guan Xiao for a long time..."
Lin Manliu subconsciously asked, "What is the relationship between these two people?" ”
The young man didn't know the art of war, and he didn't know his strategy, but when he heard the words "personally" and "delayed" in Zheng Lian's mouth, he also tasted some meaning.
In the eyes of Brother Zheng, or in the eyes of the world, this military disaster should have subsided a long time ago?
Ye Dang heard it and said: "The name of Guan Xiao, although it is not as popular as the name of Hanchuan and Treading Snow, it can be regarded as an immortal material. ”
Zheng Lian nodded in agreement, but his face did not change at all.
Ye Dang listened and continued to speak: "But no matter how resourceful he is, he shouldn't let a city guard besiege him for half a month, after all, the elite of the hot sun in the eastern capital is enough to match the imperial city forbidden army in Xijing..."
After saying this, Zheng Lian touched the two tea bowls together.
"Therefore, there are some rumors that the general of the Eastern Capital and the leader of the rebel army used to be old acquaintances, although Wang Chong received the order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, but he deliberately besieged but did not attack, all in order to persuade Guan Xiao to surrender!"
Lin Manliu realized that something was wrong, and quickly said loudly: "Where did Brother Zheng spread the news just now, and then where did he hear the rumors?" ”
Zheng Lianyan said: "The news must be true, those rich people who fled along the way said so, and I also stopped a few grumpy ones, so I asked them all over again... It can't be fake! ”
Not long ago, there were a few large families passing by the village who wanted to rest, and they wanted to seize this post station without saying a word.
After he heard the news, he entertained all those rich old men, and while squeezing oil and water, he also heard the news that these ordinary people did not know.
Later, in order to ensure that the post station would not be targeted recently, Zheng Lian stayed near here when he was fine.
Just now he also heard the sound from the post station at the entrance of the village, and he quickly entered the hall of the post station through the back door.
Zheng Xuan continued: "And the rumor, even if I heard it recently, the messenger is a brother of mine who likes to wander, and there should not be many people who know about it..."
His brother, who is half a brother, has been around all the year round, and he is a veritable king of the mountain.
He said that he was afraid of God's curse, and threatened to rob only rich merchants in the mountains, but he did everything, but he didn't touch his village yet.
These days, his brother seems to be making a lot of money in the mountains, and they all say that the jewelry and silver money are higher than the mountains, and the calligraphy, paintings, and antiques are wider than the sea?
Even the handmaids and maids who accompanied the rich merchants were robbed a lot by him, saying that they wanted to arrange a little lady for the brothers in the mountains one by one.
However, these words were all said to him Zheng Lian, and the truth is unknown.
After these words of good deeds came a bold word from his brother!
"Brother Zheng nests in the village every day, what's the matter... Today, the officers and soldiers on both sides of the Eastern Capital are singing a big show, if you and I conspire and wait until the end of the war to touch some colors, there will still be people in this realm who can suppress our brothers in the future? ”
Zheng Lian rejected the brother's request in person, saying that he was all doing farm work under his hands, and he couldn't make any climate.
In this way, the interest of the king of the mountain was swept away, and the other party did not have any need to persuade him, leaving a sentence alone, mixing and waiting for death, and I don't know who will be stabbed in the future!
Everyone in the audience listened to Zheng Lian explain the origin of the news, and a look of doubt appeared on their faces.
Lin Manliu opened his mouth and said: "This matter is false, it should be that person who wants to take the opportunity to swallow Brother Zheng, but if it is true, it is too strange..."
Yue Hanzhi continued: "Even if there are some ways to do these things, they shouldn't be known by some ordinary bandits, or they can be passed on to others casually. ”
Ye Dang listened to the words and said: "Then there is a possibility, the news is deliberately spread by someone with a heart, and the relationship between Wang Zhong and Guan Xiao is deliberately amplified!" ”
After the three finished speaking, Zheng Lian buckled the two tea bowls one straight and one backwards.
He said: "It is worthy of Master Ye Zhuang and Liu Shaoxia, as well as this girl... The words of the three are all conjectures in Zheng's heart! ”
This dilemma on the outskirts of the eastern capital is not simple.
And the rumors of the demon queen that appeared at the same time must not be some ordinary provocative words, but must have deep meaning.
Lin Manliu said loudly: "Brother Zheng still needs to pay attention to his person's movements in the future, no matter whether he gains or loses power, he will definitely take the village to the knife..."
Zheng Lian responded: "Well, I've been prepared!" ”
If his good brother can really get some good soldiers after the war, or the money hidden by the rebels, he will continue to expand his own mountain.
And Zheng Lian's hand, this small hill composed of village "ruffians" is the best fish and meat.
But if he is tragically killed by the war, if he has the opportunity to escape and come back, he will definitely attribute all the problems to Zheng Lian.
After all, in the eyes of some people, if there is no substitute ghost who rushes forward, the blade in their hand will make it unfavorable.
Ye Dangting stood up and glanced at the village casually.
"Whatever the outcome of the war, this place will suffer, and nothing good will end... If Brother Zheng has any plans, it is better to leave early..."
Zheng Lian looked at the yellow-shirted figure, and suddenly, his face was full of fatigue.
It's as if he has aged many years in an instant, from a man with strong blood to an old man with a pestle and a cane at the entrance of the village.
He forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "The old ones in the family are gone, and we have made some entanglements, and they have gone south early..."
At this moment, the villagers who are still in the village, most of them are old and old, and it is not suitable to travel long distances, after all, the roots are here, where is the home after going south?
No matter how much suffering there will be in the future, the village tyrants and ruffians must die first, and then it will be the turn of those old and weak women and children...
At this point, Zheng Lian's words were all spoken, and he still didn't ask Lin Manliu and the others about their purpose, and how they were standing.
Ye Dangting raised his hand and rubbed his robe on his body, and then walked out of the post station.
When he arrived in front of everyone in Yijian Villa, he called softly and continued to hurry!
Then the yellow-shirted figure led his horse and continued to the north of the mountain road.
Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi also left the table, and before leaving, they both hugged Zheng Lian with their fists.
"Brother Zheng, take care!"
The latter smiled and returned the salute with a fist.
"Take care!"
In the backyard of the post station, the shopkeeper who was still rummaging through the good tea leaves heard the movement in the hall and hurriedly ran out.
Looking at the people of Yijian Villa, who were already about to leave, he hurriedly shouted: "Heroes... Don't wait! We still have a good tea that I haven't been willing to drink in the past few years..."
Lin Manliu turned his head and beckoned to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper, keep all the good tea!" The tea leaves on the table just now have been smoothed by us! ”
As the young man spoke, he pointed to the table in the station.
Zheng Lian and the shopkeeper of the post station looked over and found that there was no tea left that didn't cost money, and there was an extra money bag on the counter.
Well, I'm really here to ask for tea, but I don't have the patience to wait for good tea...
In the direction of the village, Gu Laosan, who sent all the villagers home, was still taking a leisurely walk with a proud face just now.
Suddenly, when he saw the people in Yijian Villa who were gradually moving away, he didn't know what to think, and the whole person immediately ran wildly.
During the run, he stepped on the air several times and almost fell into the field, but he had no intention of slowing down.
Gu Laosan looked at the team that was getting farther and farther away, and he began to scream as hard as he could.
"Little Brother Lin! You haven't waited for us to tease Brother Zheng! Wait a minute! ”
The young man who was moving forward turned his head to look at the older man.
"Brother Gu, don't worry! Just now, Brother Zheng was still calling me a young man! You can boast to him a little longer! ”
When Gu Laosan rushed to the post station, he had already exhausted all his strength, and listening to the laughter of the young man from afar, he also laughed.
He folded his hands on his lap and panted and laughed.
"Brother Zheng! We're here... But it's bigger than you! ”
Zheng Lian, who was standing aside, pulled it up like a rabbit.
"Call you Brother Gu, do you agree?"
Gu Laosan's face bloomed with joy, and he said with a smile: "A... Promise! Why don't you dare to say yes! We have a little brother Lin who casually knocked down Brother Zheng! ”
Zheng Lian nodded meaningfully, as if he agreed with Gu Laosan's words.
Just when Gu Laosan was most proud, Zheng Lian said casually.
"Although I didn't see the owner of the landing village today, I was called Brother Zheng by the owner of the Ye village, this taste... Refreshing! ”
Gu Laosan was surprised: "Master Ye Zhuang, the second owner of Yijian Villa?" Is that the one who defeated Liu Mei? ”
Zheng Lian said with a smile: "At the front of the crowd, the person in the yellow shirt is the owner of Ye Zhuang!" ”
Because of the intersection with Lin Manliu, when Zheng Xuan chatted with the brothers, he would always turn out the strange things about Yijian Villa or Lu Fengbai and say.
Naturally, for the rest of the people in Yijian Villa, they also knew a lot about it in this small village.
Zheng Xuan admires Lu Fengbai, so he has a good impression of the second owner of his villa.
When they talked to Gu Laosan, they mostly picked good places to praise, and over time, they respected the three owners of Yijian Villa a lot.
Gu Laosan didn't smile anymore, and instantly wailed and cried.
"Master Ye Zhuang was in the forest before, right in front of me... I didn't recognize Gu Laosan... He still dares to speak up against the owner of Ye Zhuang..."
At the same time, the people of Yijian Villa, who had already traveled far away, were at the front of the team, and Ye Dangting sneezed several times, as if he couldn't stop it.
Ahh Ahh
