Chapter 312: King Rong
Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment, experiencing the feeling of sleepiness and powerlessness after taking a nap. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But he immediately jumped up from the ground, raised his eyes and looked at the case-
The seal was missing a corner, and the notch was smooth.
A scroll of silk lay horizontally on the desk, shining with a faint golden light in the sunlight.
He grabbed the scroll and held it tightly in his hand, not knowing what to say. After standing tense for a while, he walked to the door step by step and pushed it open.
A green shrimp was found lying outside the threshold. The shrimp tail had been trampled and looked dead.
He stared at the shrimp for a long time, and then carefully picked it up, went back to the house, and found a wooden box to bury it in. When it was finished, he put his hands together and bowed - with a pious and focused expression.
Now he believes it. He believed in everything he had dreamed of—the missing seals, the silk scrolls, and the little man whose leg had been broken by his own foot.
Indeed, there is a god who protects him. And...... If he does well, he can even see his wife and mother again.
Even though it wasn't his real mother.
This belief filled him with strength. At this time, in Rongcheng, where almost everyone was afraid and sad, Zhao Sheng became the most optimistic and determined person.
Therefore, when Li Guang, who had returned for the second time, saw Zhao Sheng, he was startled by the look on his face - Zhao Sheng was standing in the courtyard of the signing room at that time.
It was already afternoon, and the shadow cast by the old elm tree in the courtyard covered the corpses of more than a dozen demons. The corpses were huge, like a calf. But their bodies were splattered with feces and blood, which made them smelly. Previously, Li Guang and the other four arresters had to cover their noses when they came to this signing room, but now Zhao Sheng was standing in the courtyard with the same look on his face.
He wore a tunic that exposed his chest. Standing next to the corpse with his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sky slightly, as if thinking about something.
But the change of expression on his face was extremely fast. Suddenly lost, suddenly angry, suddenly happy, suddenly cold and serious - Li Guang stepped into the courtyard with one foot and looked at him twice, then opened his mouth slightly in shock, and dared to whisper to him for a while: "...... Brother?"
Zhao Sheng heard his voice, slowly turned his head, and looked at him calmly.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly spoke: "King Rong." ”
Li Guang heard him speak, so he dared to raise his feet and walk into the courtyard gate. While raising his hand and wiping the sweat oozing from his neck with his sleeve, he gasped: "What did my brother say?"
"Call me King Rong. Zhao Sheng remained motionless and looked at Li Guang majestically, "I've already thought about it - we will raise troops, and the division must be famous." From this day onwards I call myself King Rong. We don't want to know anything about the king's side - we just need to get rid of the mediocre Emperor Yu and build a new country. ”
Li Guang stopped, frowned at Zhao Sheng who was bathed in the afternoon sun, and felt that things were not very good.
It had only been two hours since he had last spoken to Zhao Sheng. But his brother Zhao Sheng seems to be getting more and more ...... Crazy.
Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, raised his hand and threw the silk scroll in his hand to Li Guang: "Look at it." ”
Li Guanghu took it suspiciously. looked at Zhao Sheng first, and then lowered his head and slowly unfolded the silk scroll, and his eyes couldn't help but widen. He found that there were words on the silk scroll composed of pale golden streamers, which trembled slightly with the shaking of the silk scroll, as if it were floating on the water.
Li Guang stretched out his hand in surprise and carefully touched the text and graphics, feeling the surprisingly smooth silk scroll - as if it was not any material he knew. He looked up at Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng said indifferently: "You should always believe it." The Dragon King gave me a dream again—this is the token left for me. Look at what's written on that volume. ”
The surprise made Li Guang speechless. He blinked, and then really looked down at the scroll.
He quickly understood.
What is shown on the scroll is a map of Rongcheng and its surroundings. It's just that this map only outlines the general outline of Rongcheng and a Rong River that passes through the city, and it is not very detailed.
In several places in this picture, more brilliant and dazzling points of light are lit up. There are also some fine words floating next to the dots of light, like explanatory notes.
Li Guang was illiterate and could not understand what the words said. Therefore, he looked up and asked Zhao Sheng again: "This ...... What does the picture say?"
Zhao Sheng walked to Li Guang's side with a steady step, stretched out his hand to take the silk scroll back, and unfolded it. He tapped the two fingers of his right hand, nodded to the scroll, and solemnly announced, "This is the treasure of the Dragon King." ”
"There are six places marked on this scroll. In each place was buried a thousand taels of gold. This is the treasure that the Dragon King of Weishui left in Rongcheng in the past - and now he knows that I am going to cause trouble, so he gives this treasure to me. Once we have achieved great things, we should build temples in the country to worship and worship the dragon king, so as to repay the kindness of today. Do you believe it now?"
Li Guang was stunned, and thought in his heart - there is gold everywhere...... One thousand taels. There are six places in total.
Then it's one, two, three, four, five...... Six...... Six thousand taels.
Six thousand taels of gold! This huge amount made him dizzy. He didn't even know what "six thousand taels of gold" meant—and he was originally assisting Zhao Sheng in "controlling the theft", so where did he really go?
Zhao Sheng was very satisfied with his performance at the moment. He straightened his face and narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed: "Do you know how much taxes our Rongcheng Mansion, including this Rongcheng City and the surrounding villages and towns, paid last year?"
Li Guang naturally didn't know. Zhao Sheng smiled: "It's just more than fifty thousand taels of silver." And now we have six thousand taels of gold -- six hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver -- do you know how much we can accomplish?"
"God help me. Zhao Sheng sighed, "If I don't make a great career in this world, how can I be worthy of such a favorable time, place and people." The most important thing now is to bring the four of them back. And we will take into counsel tonight what we shall take the six thousand taels of gold—two thousand taels are buried in the city, and another four thousand taels are in the Red Ridge. Then we will discuss where to use the money to buy armour, horses, and soldiers. Besides, I have to meet two people—"
When he said this, Li Guang finally came back to his senses and interrupted him: "Brother...... That's what I'm here to tell you about -- the two Tian Heng brothers, and Sun Tong Zhou Ji...... It's all gone!"
Zhao Sheng was stunned, and then raised his eyebrows: "What did you say!?"
Li Guang sighed: "Hey." I took care of my side and went to see how the four of them were doing—I was afraid that they would panic when they found out about the rebellion. At this time, there was such a mess in the city, and it was really bad to do something bad and to change the people. How do you know that I went to find the brothers of the Natian family, they are not in the north. He went to the west of the city to find Sun Tong, but found that the four of them had gathered together. ”
"When he saw me, he said, 'Then Zhao Sheng is crazy because someone died in his family. We just fooled him because we were afraid that he would kill people indiscriminately, so we agreed to him. But now who doesn't know that this is a major matter of killing the head -- how do the people in Rongcheng fight with demons and officials and soldiers?' -- so they asked me to come with them to capture my brother and send him to the Chongfu camp, saying that he would be punished for his crimes. ”
Li Guang snorted: "How can I be that kind of person." I said that I would never do such a thing, and said that my brother, most of your injuries have healed - according to your martial arts, the four of them can only lie down and go out when they come. The four cowards were scared, stared at me for a while, and then fled out of the city together, and I couldn't stop them. I guess...... Nine times out of ten, those four people were going to the Chongfu camp. ”
Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Four rats." I guess I misread them. ”
He paced a few steps in the courtyard angrily, and suddenly turned his face to look at Li Guang and narrowed his eyes: "You watch." Today is a great time for them to be prosperous and rich, but they don't want it -- we will become a great thing in the future...... Look at how they regret it!"
"Ignore them. Sooner or later, the Chongfu camp will know what is going on here. But there must be action over there, and it will have to be more than a month before it bears fruit. By that time...... Hmph, I have the help of the Weishui Dragon King, and I have already become a climate!"
He said this confidently, and then walked over to the demon corpse and kicked him a few times: "Brute, see how I can get you all out of this country!"
Li Guang opened his mouth to say something. But looking at Zhao Sheng's appearance, he didn't open his mouth in the end.
......
......
"So it's none of my business. Li Yunxin shrugged his shoulders innocently, picked up a warm cup of tea and sent the chewing almonds in his mouth down, and looked at Wang Bojian opposite, "It's him who wants to rebel." ”
He is now sitting in Munan Curie.
The streets were full of people running out, walking up and down noisily, not knowing what they were saying. But no one drilled into Mu Nanju's house - Li Yunxin thought that the people affected by the disaster would come to see if there was anything to eat.
According to Wang Bojian, this is because Mu Nanju has a good reputation in Rongcheng - he will give porridge and money every New Year's Day. And they also sent people to set up relief points in other parts of the city early, so no one came to the main store to cause trouble.
However, Wang Bojian learned that Zhao Sheng was going to rebel.
Li Yunxin was not surprised at all, he knew the news - if they really didn't know anything about the major events that were happening in the administrative center of Rongcheng at this moment, then they could indeed concentrate on entering the catering industry.
Therefore, when Li Yunxin came to Mu Nanju to sit down, and Wang Bojian served him a few dried fruits and a pot of tea, he asked the dragon king according to the emotions in his heart...... Why do you want to encourage Zhao Sheng to rebel?!
Zhao Sheng's rebellion was against Emperor Yu and the Sword Palace, but at the moment, the Sword Palace was also Mu Nanju's power.
But I heard Li Yunxin's answer like this. He drank tea and dried fruits, and seemed to be very leisurely, and did not seem to take the matter seriously at all.
Uncle Wang scolded the "Dragon King of Weishui" opposite him a hundred times in his heart. However, I had to smile and ask kindly, "But...... Then Zhao Sheng said that there was a Weishui Dragon King to give him a dream. Isn't that the dragon king you?"
"Oh, that's what you say. Li Yunxin pinched the teacup in his hand and turned it around for a while, but his mind seemed to be thinking about something else. It seems that answering the question that Wang Bojiao is very concerned about at this moment is just casual chatter for him.
"I was going to go to the Red Ridge to see what was going on. So I came to you on the way to ask you something. But suddenly I felt that Zhao Sheng was a little kind, so I went to the yamen by the way. Li Yunxin put down the teacup, stretched out his hand and slowly pulled it in the fruit bowl, trying to find an almond that was full and suitable for his eyes, "I heard that he wanted to rebel." I'm just thinking—"
"I'm going to Hongling, but Hongling must be waiting for you. No matter how I disguise myself, at this juncture, when I go from Rongcheng to that side, people will have to see it at a glance--don't you say?" he found the almond and threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, "So I thought, well, if he really reverses, he will have to go and occupy Hongling and gather the young men over there." So a group of them went there and made a fuss, so I could hide my whereabouts. ”
"So that's what happened -- he was going to rebel in the first place. What's my business? ”
Wang Bojian was silent for a while. Then he took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "So you said that the Dragon King is just here to ...... For you to go to Hongling, someone will hide your whereabouts for you. And he provoked such a big event, and he had no other intentions?"
Li Yunxin smiled: "There shouldn't be." ”
Uncle Wang's face twitched for a moment. Then he stood up: "I now know why the Dragon King has gone...... It's ruined wherever it goes. So if I have another way to go to Hongling for the Dragon King, can the Dragon King ignore that Zhao Sheng - tell me to arrest him immediately?"
Li Yunxin looked up at him in surprise: "Take him? Then wouldn't I be very shameless? I promised to help him succeed." ”
Wang Bojian finally couldn't continue to press the emotions in his heart. He frowned: "Dragon King, you have acted too much. If Zhao Sheng really turns the other way around, he can't make it to the climate alone, and we are not worried. But with the help of the Dragon King, if he really turns the rest of the kingdom upside down, it will disrupt our arrangements - we do not want to see such an outcome. It's going to get us in a big problem!"
Li Yun thought for a moment and looked at him: "So what?"
"So I hope the Dragon King won't be rash. Wang Bojian said solemnly, "This kind of Meng Lang's behavior is not advisable, our layout in the rest of the country is interlocking, once there is a local difference, the entire overall situation needs to be comprehensively adjusted." I hope the dragon king can come up with another way-"
Li Yunxin suddenly laughed, and looked at Wang Bojian intently: "Old Wang, have you forgotten one thing?" I'm not your subordinate, or anyone in your organization. I'm Li Yunxin. ”
"I naturally have my own plans for doing things, and I don't need your consent. Whether you think it's appropriate or not, whether it's troublesome or not, is not in my consideration. I've come here from Weicheng to Dongting—" Li Yunxin tapped his finger lightly on the tabletop, "Anyone who thinks I'm doing things to Meng Lang will end well." ”
"So in my place, before I talked to Zhao Sheng, maybe it was a whim. But now that I'm done talking to him, I have my setup. If you go and him now, you're going to get me in trouble. Li Yunxin sighed, "I hope you can adapt to this change as soon as possible - now there is one more me in Rongcheng, and it is no longer your family that is the only one." If you want to work with me, you have to learn to respect me. ”
"And. Don't talk to me in that tone anymore. Otherwise I would be unhappy. (To be continued.) )
