Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"People's hearts are separated by belly, and they don't know what to do. How do you know that I'm not coveting your beauty, so I go along with it?"

"After the oiran contest ended, for more than a month. If you really coveted Ningxiang's beauty, you would have the opportunity to attack Ningxiang, but you didn't have any. I thought, are you planning to hold a grand wedding? , marry Ningxiang, and then... Unfortunately, my concubine's fortune is poor, so I didn't wait until that day."

Guo Yexin said, you are tall for the wedding!I didn't attack you because I suspected you had other intentions.Although our brother Guo is not lustful, he is a normal man after all, okay?How could it be possible to be indifferent to such a beautiful woman like you?As for pre-marriage and so on... the most loving, Princess Shanhua can testify!

Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, at this moment, Guo Ye couldn't tell the truth in a bad manner. He changed the subject and said, "Since you are really interested in Guo, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Don't you know that, according to the five major clans If the plan continues, not only you, but even me will die without a burial?"

Li Ningxiang said: "To be honest, my heart was very contradictory at that time. One side was my husband and the other was my mother. How would you choose my wife? In the end... I'm sorry... I chose my mother."

For the sake of her mother, Li Ningxiang disregarded her own safety. If Guo Ye expected her to abandon her mother for the sake of his lover, it would be too difficult for others.Li Ningxiang talked about this, even though he was upset, what else could Guo Ye say?

He had no choice but to say generously: "There's nothing I'm sorry about. It's only natural for you to choose this way. I don't blame you."

"Thank you for your understanding. In fact, even though I was forced to obey the family's orders, I secretly did something for my husband."

"Do something for me?"

"Yes. People in the family got the information that Li Shimin still misses my concubine, so someone suggested that I arrange for my concubine to meet Li Shimin again and accuse you...you bullied Ningxiang. At that time, there will be Ningxiang by your majesty's side." Testify, there are bad people in the court to testify, even if you are full of mouth, you can't explain clearly."

Guo Ye thought to himself, Day!This strategy is really amazing!Originally, I thought that Pipa girl did not take the initiative to surrender to frame herself because she was afraid of being punished by His Majesty Li Er.But now it seems that it is not the same thing at all!The five noble families have long known His Majesty Li Er's attitude towards Pipa Girl!

Of course, there is another possibility that the five great noble families do not know His Majesty Li Er's plan at all, and these words are just to deceive Li Ningxiang.Anyway, they didn't care about Li Ningxiang's life or death. For the safety of the plan, there was nothing wrong with sacrificing Li Ningxiang.

He asked, "Then what did you say?"

"The concubine said that if they force Ningxiang to serve Li Shimin again, they will all die together. Ningxiang will reveal their plan in front of Li Shimin. Seeing that Ningxiang is determined and has a backup plan, they just Let Ningxiang go."

"So what?"

"Since then, my concubine has been sent all over the country to recruit people from all walks of life to work for the five great noble families. Today is also a coincidence. When I came to Douzigang, I happened to meet my husband."

"Then why did you impersonate King Qi Li You?"

Li Ningxiang sneered, and said: "This is the performance of the five great gentry clans. They want to expand their power, but they don't want to risk exposure, so they use the name of others."

"No, it's still not right. The five noble clans hide their heads and show their tails. When the time comes, how can they ensure that these forces can be used by themselves?"

"Most of what the concubine said in the Juyi distribution hall is true. Xue Dading, the chief historian of the Qi Palace, is actually a confidant of the five noble families. As long as the servants tell these forces to obey the orders of the chief history of the Qi Palace, the five noble clans You can enjoy the benefits and avoid the harm.”

Guo Ye nodded and said, "So that's it, I understand. Then what shall we do in the future? If I detain you and don't leave, your mother will definitely be in danger. But let me let you go... say To be honest, I'm really a little worried."

Chapter 1681 Fang Zong Yao Yao

Li Ningxiang lowered her head and said, "I don't even know about it. Husband, do you have any good ideas?"

"Or let's make a game, declare to the outside world that you are dead, and then find a way to get Lingtang out."

"Once Ning Xiang dies, my mother will be useless at all. What if Li Quan sees her as an eyesore...Of course, the possibility of such a thing happening is not very high, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Ning Xiang dare not take risks. "

"Then the big deal is that I will expose my identity and claim that you have been captured by me. This is a non-war crime. Li Quan can't vent his anger on your mother, right?"

"I won't vent my anger on my mother, but you are not afraid of the five great gentry jumping over the wall in a hurry? The reason why the bad guys didn't tell Li Shimin about us now is to attack you suddenly. If the concubine is arrested, they will definitely start in advance. Husband, you Have you figured out how to deal with it?"

The idea has been thought of long ago, but it can only be used after meeting His Majesty Li Er.

If bad people tell His Majesty Li Er about Guo Ye and Li Ningxiang now, no one knows how he will react.

His Majesty Li Er might hold back his depression for the time being, and wait for Guo Ye to come back, and then slowly verify the matter.However, there is another possibility that, after His Majesty Li Er knew about this, he became so angry that he didn't even give Guo Ye a chance to explain, and sent him to a remote village, and then slowly cleaned up.

The five noble families were worried that His Majesty Li Er would be the first reaction.If His Majesty Li Er made a note of Guo Ye's plans, then it would be difficult to keep this matter a secret.If Guo Ye had enough time to prepare, maybe he would come up with a good way to defuse His Majesty Li Er's anger.That's why they planned to launch it suddenly without giving Guo Ye and His Majesty Li Er any time to react.

At the same time, after Guo Ye knew the plan of the five great gentry, he was also afraid that the five great gentry would launch it now.If His Majesty Li Er had the second reaction, Guo Ye would not be able to use it even if he had the ability to reach the sky.

Guo Ye and Li Ningxiang discussed for a while, but still had no clue.

In fact, Guo Ye also knew that the best solution to this matter was for Guo Ye to put Li Ningxiang back and stabilize the five noble families.Then think of a way to save Li Ningxiang's mother.

However, since the lives of his whole family were at stake, Guo Ye really didn't dare to take the risk.Li Ningxiang said that she is interested in her, is it true or not?Although her expression is not fake, but what if?Now is not the time to be emotional.

In the end, Guo Ye said: "Forget it, I can't think of any good solution for a while. Anyway, it is impossible for the Li family in Longxi to know that you have disappeared in a short time. I will let Kong Congming arrange a room for you first." , let’s talk tomorrow if we have anything to say.”

"That's all it takes."

……

……

Early the next morning, Guo Ye was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door. He put on his clothes and opened the door to see that it was Kong Congming.

Kong Congming's eyes were red, and he said, "Guo Dabao, you did a good job! It's over! It's over! It's all over now!"

At this moment, Guo Ye was puzzled like a monk like Zhang Er, and said: "Master Dazhai, what's the end?"

"It's over! We Douzigang are over!"

"what is the problem?"

"That pipa girl, she...she..."

"how is she!"

"She ran away! It's all your fault, I... I'm going to kill you to sacrifice the flag!"

Guo Ye was also shocked when he heard this. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Master Dazhai, please be patient. If I remember correctly, Pipa Girl was guarded by yours yesterday. She ran away. , what does it matter to me? How can it be said that it is all my fault?"

"You...you dare to quibble! It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin. Come on, let's go and see together. The pipa girl left you a letter!"

In order to prevent Li Ningxiang from being wronged, Guo Ye told Kong Congming that after all, this woman will be handed over to a big man, Jinwu Zangjiao, and if she has a good relationship now, there may be some unexpected benefits in the future.Therefore, Kong Congming arranged a particularly exquisite room for Li Ningxiang and put her under house arrest.In the room, everything is available, but she is not allowed to go out of the door.

Now, Guo Ye is holding a piece of paper in his hand, with 32 words written on it: Qing does not owe concubine, concubine does not owe Qing.The concubine was worried about my mother and left without saying goodbye.Today's matter is tight-lipped.We will meet again in the future and talk about the past.

After Guo Ye read the letter, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Ningxiang was still worried about her mother, and worried that she would not let her go, so she ran away secretly.

Seeing Guo Ye's happy face, Kong Congming became even angrier, and said, "You...you can still laugh, we are all in disaster, do you know that?"

"A catastrophe is imminent?"

"Hmph, don't pretend to be confused! What you did in the quiet room yesterday, you know for yourself."

Guo Ye's expression changed, and he said, "Did you send someone to eavesdrop?"

"You still need to eavesdrop? Isn't it clearly written on it?" Kong Congming snatched the letter and said, "You can explain, what does it mean to be worthy of a concubine? Which one is today?" How can we explain the past when we meet again in the future? Don’t tell me that these 32 words were not written for you!”

"Uh... I think... it should be written for me!"

"That's still true! Isn't the meaning of this very obvious? You took advantage of the interrogation yesterday, pretended to be public, and gave the pipa girl to... what? Maybe it's because the thing under your crotch is really good, and you let the pipa Not only is my daughter not resentful towards you, but she still has feelings for you. That's why I left this letter. Damn, you're happy, what can we Douzigang do?"

How can I explain it that way?Guo Ye couldn't help but be a bit dumbfounded, and said: "Well, even if I pretended to be a public servant yesterday, so what? The Pipa girl's message is clearly written, and today's matter is kept secret. Although it is not good for you Douzigang, it is not good. What's the disadvantage?"
