Chapter XVI: Conspiracy

Li Jing can't interject in their conversation, and there is no need to interject, as long as he does his job, it doesn't matter to him which place or country he is, the important thing is that he doesn't want to be eaten by Qiqi.

The elders of the Li family have made a plot and are waiting for the arrival of the two major families of Ji Chang.

At the end of the year, there was a fire in the business district, the fire burned extremely strangely, only burned the shops of the Li family and the Wang family, and a large area was burned, and the other shops did not suffer much damage, obviously caused by man-made.

For a while, the whole mouth exploded, and the civilians gloated.

"The Wang family has done evil, I don't know how many bad things I have done, and I have been retributed. ”

"It's just that the Li family's shop has always been fair, but it also suffered from this fire, and the loss was the greatest, and 8% of it was retaliated against. ”

"Yes, I heard others say that it was the Yizhou Jiang family who did it, and the Jiang family and these two families are not very good at dealing with each other. ”

City Lord's Mansion, Wang Xuanji's face is iron-blue, Wang's shop is timely in fighting the fire, and the loss is small, for them, this loss is still acceptable, but the damage to the face of this fire is the key, and the dignified city lord's shop was set on fire?

"Brother Xian, what do you think about this. ”

"Obviously, the arson is revenge, our Wang family has countless enemies, it's really hard to say which one retaliates against us, but the Li family has no enemies, our Wang family counts as one, and the Jiang family counts as one. After all the calculations, there is only one Jiang family as the common enemy of our two families. ”

"Brother Xian means what the Jiang family did. ”

"No, the Jiang family is not a fool, anyone can see that they did such a blatant murder, and it is obvious that someone is to blame them. ”

"Makes sense. According to the meaning of the virtuous brother, what should we do? ”

"The biggest loss is the Li family, the entire shop was basically burned down, but unfortunately, these shops were originally going to belong to our Wang family. It is very likely that the arsonist came to burn the Li family, but by the way, there is no us, and if such a big thing happens, the Li family will definitely not give up, we can just wait and see. ”

A few days after the fire, snow began to fall in the sky, and it was less than a month before the end of the year.

Li Jing was dressed in white, holding a hand warmer, standing on the porch of the courtyard, admiring the heavy snow falling from the sky, which was the first snow he came to this world.

In the past few days, the desire to devour no longer bothers him, and it is rare to enjoy the snow under the corridor.

Qin Wanru was a little girl by his side, wearing a little red robe that Li Jing had customized for her, and she was also holding a small stove in her little hand, her little face was slightly red, but the little girl seemed to be in a good mood, and she accompanied Li Jing to enjoy the rare snow scene.

The people in the courtyard squeaked open, and Li Kezhong came in the snow and reported: "Young master, the head of the Ji Chang family has arrived." ”

Li Jing nodded, handed the small stove in his hand to Qin Wanru, and followed Li Kezhong.

When he arrived in the living room, the court was already full of people, except for Ji Wuyan and the little girl Ji Xiaoya, no one knew each other.

He stepped in and saluted the first five people in the hall.

Sitting in the middle is naturally Li Chongyang, the second of them.

A person on the left hand side of Li Lao Er is about 60 years old, dressed in a strong suit, in excellent spirit, his figure is stronger than Li Lao Er next to him, his face is full of scum, he stands upside down, and he is a good man, but the most eye-catching thing is the two blushes on his cheeks.

This person is Chang Wanli, the head of the Chang family.

The big man on Chang Wanli's left hand side is his brother Chang Baili, the two are very similar in appearance, but the brother does not have the blush on his cheeks.

The old man on the right hand side of Li Lao Er is tall and thin, with a long beard and a clear face, and his eyes are shining, it is Ji Youlai, the head of the Ji family, and next to him is his brother Ji Yougo.

Li Lao Er left his seat very solemnly and introduced every Ji Changliang's family member to Li Jing.

These people are a generation younger than the previous four, sitting on the left and right, Li Jing is according to the etiquette, and the last two are naturally Ji Xiaoya and Chang Jing, who were born in the same year, month and day as him.

It was the first time Li Jing had met Chang Jing. Chang Jing inherited his grandfather's cheeks, and his figure was much stronger than Li Jing, but he was shy and shy by nature, so many people got together, and Li Jing didn't say a few words, and his neck was also crimson.

Ji Xiaoya took the opportunity to shave her cheeks and shame Chang Jing fiercely, Chang Jing was not so polite to Ji Xiaoya, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes glared at Ji Xiaoya without fear, and the two seemed to be very familiar.

Speaking of which, Li Jing was born two hours earlier than Chang Jing, but in terms of generation, he has to be called a little uncle.

Li Jing obediently shouted under the gaze of Li Laoer's sharp eyes: "Little uncle." ”

"In the last life, how could you put two elders who are a few years younger than you from your actual age, and let people not live. Li Jing's heart was dripping blood.

After the salute, Li Jing sat down next to Ji Xiaoya and Chang Jing.

Chang Wanli said: "Old nephew, our two families have no objection to the move of the three clans to Da Zhou, the three clans live and die together, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, they are really a family, so we will no longer discuss it."

It's quite difficult to go to the capital to rescue Brother Li, if you can give up my old life, you can save Big Brother Li, okay, old life, take it!"

Chang Wanli called Li Lao Er his nephew, but called Li Chong Chong his eldest brother, it seems that the generation is a bit chaotic, others seem to have Chang Wanli to despise Li Lao Er, but the two parties don't care, they both think this is right.

Li Lao Er said: "Uncle, don't worry, the eldest brother is very popular in the capital and has many friends, not everyone is our enemy." Today's capital, the turmoil is gradually rising, the various factions may fight at any time, and it is not completely unfavorable to us, after arriving in the capital, I met the eldest brother, he is resourceful, and there must be a perfect plan. ”

The others nodded, as if acquiescing.

Li Jing couldn't help laughing, what's going on with these people, treason and defection to the enemy is a matter of losing their heads, but they pin their hopes on a grandfather they have never seen, and they seem to be full of blind confidence in their grandfather.

It's just that he is a junior, and he doesn't have the slightest right to speak, so he can only listen.

Ji You said: "What we should plan is to rescue Brother Li, how to lead the people of the three clans through the 5 levels to reach the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, this is the most difficult thing." ”

Ji Youlai was silent, just nodded silently, and acquiesced to his brother Ji You's statement.

Li Lao Er said: "A few days ago, I went to Zhou to negotiate with them, and Zhou promised to send troops to Daliang City of Wei on the eve of the end of the year, to make a feint attack, and attract the defenders of the 5th pass to the past. ”

After Li Lao Er finished speaking, the hall fell into a terrible silence, the future is uncertain, rather than waiting for death in the Wei State, it is better to give it a go, but these 5 levels are really sad, even with the help of Da Zhou, many people in the hall are afraid to die on the way to escape this time.

At this time, Ji Wuyan stood up and said, "The little nephew has a plan that can help us increase the possibility of success this time." ”

As soon as Ji Wuyan said this, everyone in the hall suddenly perked up, and listened carefully to every word of Ji Wuyan.

Ji Wuyan said calmly, "Everyone, don't be discouraged. A few days ago, Jing'er and I bought a lot of slaves in the slave market, and according to my observation, there are almost 2,000 slaves in the entire slave market, and in a while, more than 500 slaves will enter the slave market.

These slaves will be sent everywhere after the year, and it is a good time for us to attack the slave market, release these slaves, and give them the promise that if they move with us to the Great Zhou, we will give them land and give them back their freedom. ”

The crowd pondered whether this was possible.

Ji Wuyan continued: "We successfully rebelled against these slaves, and then with the help of the private soldiers of our three families, we defeated the first level of Yizhou, and then released the prisoner slaves of Yizhou, recruited them into our team, and then played the second level, so that the snowball continues, and when we reach the most difficult level, Hangu Pass, we have a certain strength, which will increase the possibility of success." ”

Ji You said: "Speechless, there is room for implementation of your plan, but it is not easy, the first problem is how to instigate these slaves in the guru slave market?"

Ji Wuyan said: "Before the fire in the shop, I had already converted the goods into cash, sent each of these slaves a piece of money as a reward, and gave a promise of land freedom, coupled with the good reputation of our three clans, it will definitely succeed, and this matter can be fully entrusted to me." ”

"The second dilemma. Not to mention how much combat power these slaves have, they are untrained and of low quality, and how to manage them can be a big problem. ”

"We can make the people of our three clans as low-level generals, integrate into these slaves, lead them, and make norms, and have clear rewards and punishments, so that they can naturally be restrained. ”

"The third problem is, after the capture of Yizhou, is it inappropriate to release the prisoners and slaves in Yizhou? We have limited money and materials, so we can't give everyone a penny. ”

"You can divide the Yizhou Jiang family's property equally among these slaves, so that they can taste the sweetness. ”

Ji Yougo continued to ask: "The fourth problem, after passing the fifth level, we arrived at Da Zhou, how did Da Zhou feel when he saw me and others coming with a large number of armed men, and the reason why Wei Guo moved to kill us was not because we thought we had the heart to rebel. ”

Li Lao Er said: "Don't worry about this, Da Zhou will send a large number of prisoners and slaves to the Frost Land every year, and we brought these slaves to solve a lot of problems for them." ”

Ji You said: "I think this plan is feasible, what we do is treason, what's the harm in trying." ”

Chang Wanli said arrogantly: "Yes, if you want to do it, you can do it bigger, the emperor has always been afraid that we will rebel, so let's show him." ”

The plan has been decided, but everyone has a clear goal, doing the things assigned to them, and the worries in their hearts have been alleviated a little.
