Chapter 97 Strategy! Lure the snake out of its hole!
The inn was bustling with people, guests were coming and going, Li Erlang just stayed in the room, there was noise from all directions upstairs and downstairs.
The excitement on the street was the most lively, as jugglers performed their stunts, causing all kinds of passers-by to shout and clap their hands.
Shouting, echoing, singing, laughing and cursing, the sounds are all in my ears.
At this time, when people were having dinner, the inn lobby was full of seats, and the diners gathered together and talked loudly.
Li Erlang specially paid more for an ordinary guest room facing the street. Although his heart couldn't help but hurt when he heard the waiter singing about the room price, he knew the importance of this matter and could not tolerate saving.
He ate the dinner cooked by Ji Qingyue. Today Ji Qingyue cooked rice again and paired it with simple stir-fried vegetables. The two of them chatted about tonight's plans across the scroll.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Miss Dan to come.
While chatting, Li Erlang paused and suddenly said: "Yue Lang, if one day I am in danger, can you predict it in advance?"
Ji Qingyue also paused and couldn't speak for a long time.
To be honest, he didn't know. In the second year of Guangde, the only news he heard was that Li Erlang died in battle. The environment at that time was in chaos. True and false news was flying everywhere. In addition, the information was slow, and Li Yu could not tell the specific time and place.
Who can tell clearly what happens on the battlefield?
The most direct reason why he wanted to save the emperor was to hope that he could ease the conflict and reduce the war, so that Li Erlang and the others would not have to go to the battlefield in the future.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingyue's heart became heavy. Li Erlang has been looking forward to joining the army for a long time. His dream is to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service.
The current background of the times is like this. Apart from studying to get ahead, the only other way is to join the army.
Although he knew that the battlefield was full of dangers, he still had no hesitation. This was not only an ideal, but also a responsibility.
Ji Qingyue sighed: "Can you promise me to take good care of yourself in the military camp in the future? Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If I can really predict that you are in crisis, I am afraid that you will be in the battlefield at that time. Alas, how can I enter the barracks like this..."
So, the place where he got into trouble was the battlefield.
"Then I hope Yue Lang won't notice. There are dangers and undercurrents on the battlefield. If Yue Lang can sense the crisis, he will be unable to live in peace day and night."
Li Erlang felt a little guilty. He had always longed to become a warrior who could bravely kill enemies on the battlefield. Going to the battlefield to kill enemies had been his dream since he was a child. This belief had long been deeply imprinted on his heart. If he cowered because of fear, Behind his companions, he did not dare to kill the enemy. He was full of unwillingness, but if he really died lightly on the battlefield and left Ji Qingyue behind, he would definitely not be able to rest in peace!
Are you giving up on your dreams because you are afraid of future death?
This person cannot be him, Li Changxiang!
"Don't worry, Yue Lang. After I go back, I will definitely practice kung fu hard and learn more coping methods from Aweng's father. Have I not said it yet? Aweng used to be the best scout and followed the generals under Emperor Hui's command to fight in the north and south. , and made a lot of achievements! Vice General Cao wanted me to join the army. Three years later, I went to Ganzhou Barracks. Maybe I could be trained by him or follow him." Li Erlang made a rare bold statement: "Yue Lang, There is you and your family waiting for you outside the battlefield, how could I be willing to lose my life on the battlefield."
Ji Qingyue didn't know what to say. Deep in his heart, he still hoped that war would never come.
Dong-dong-dong—a knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.
The waiter's voice sounded outside the door: "Sir, I'm looking for a girl named Dan!"
It's approaching evening, and the twilight is dim. The night market gradually became more and more lively, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, intending to have a good time before the curfew.
The inn is a high-rise building, and the entire floor is quiet and quiet, isolated from the bustle downstairs and in the market. There are only a few male guards on duty in the circular corridor.
Two female guards were guarding outside a private room. The inn's waiter brought the meal to the entrance of the corridor, and then went no further. A female guard guarding outside the private room took the meal.
The female guard walked into the side room, put the food on the table, and glanced at the lady sitting on the imperial concubine's couch under the window facing the street.
The window sash was only slightly open on one side. My young lady had just finished taking a bath and was sitting on the couch blowing the dry cool breeze. The female guard on the side was wringing her hair with a handkerchief.
Lu Lu changed his position and leaned on the window frame to look through the window crack. The weather is hot, and most of the street vendors sell cold food. It would be very refreshing to eat a cold dish in such hot weather.
Thinking this, she looked back at the hot food on the table and sighed softly.
The two female guards who were testing the poison for the meal smiled: "Miss, General Yang will enter the city the day after tomorrow at the latest. When he returns to Chang'an, he will naturally be able to eat delicious cold food."
"It will be October when I go back, and the weather will get cold. My father and mother will definitely not allow me to eat cold food." Lu Lu was a little depressed. He held the third Sudoku problem in his hand. He solved half of it, but still couldn't write it. come out.
After the water on her hair was almost wiped off, she got up and walked to the dining table, looking at the chicken soup, fish dumplings and red sheep on the table, paired with a small bowl of sesame rice.
She sat at the table with her head propped up and asked, "Why hasn't my cousin come back yet?"
The female guard standing aside replied: "I don't know what happened to Miss Xun Biao, Erlang of the Li family. As soon as he entered the inn, he asked the waiter to call her. Miss has not had a good meal today. Why don't you go down and see me?" look."
Lu Lu raised his hand: "No need, it doesn't matter if you wait a while. Shufu, you and Tulun go and pick off the four tassels on the carriage and give them to me."
There were four female guards standing in the room, Shufu and Tulun were among them. After hearing Lu Lu's order, Tulun was confused for a moment, but Shufu immediately responded, and then pulled Tulun out of the wing.
The two hurriedly went downstairs. Tu Lun looked at his companion and seemed to understand the intention of the young lady's sudden order. He pulled her and asked: "Sister Shufu, why did the young lady suddenly want to take off the tassel? Since coming out of Chang'an, the young lady has never asked about this. It’s such a small thing!”
Shufu told her not to talk too much: "The lady has her own ideas, why bother to ask more questions." She didn't know what was written in the note from Li Changxiang to the lady, which could make the lady wonder again and again. She only knew that there was something wrong among them. He is a traitor and wants the young lady’s life, and these tassels may be clues!
The carriage was parked outside the stable in the backyard. After the horse was unharnessed, the horses were fed alone, while people were carefully guarded around the carriage.
Among the guards, except for the six female guards who personally serve Lu Lu, they do not have to guard the carriage. They have their own responsibilities and only take care of the young lady's food, clothing and daily life. The other fourteen female guards guard the carriage, while the male guards are on the corridors and walls. On duty, do not approach the carriage or Lulu's wing.
Shufu and Rabbit Lun came to the backyard. The carriage was just as they left it, with the planks parked squarely outside the stable.
The four female guards on duty saw the two coming down and quickly asked the young lady what her orders were.
Shufu didn't say much and stood silent, and Rabbit Lun couldn't say much either.
The female guards looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, they did not ask any more questions, but all retreated.
After they moved away, Shufu and Tulun stepped forward and took off the tassels from the four corners of the car hood.
Ginger gold tassels.
It doesn't look any different...
Lu Lu took the tassels and caressed the four tassels.
Four identical gold tassels.
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Has anyone been near the carriage since returning to the inn?"
Shufu had already expected that the young lady would ask this question, and after taking off the tassel, he asked the person on duty below. "Miss Hui, according to the person on duty, after returning to the inn, there were two groups of eight guards taking turns. No outsiders came close. Only they had the opportunity to touch the carriage."
The young lady asked unusually, and the other three people in the room also knew that something had happened.
Tu Lun was worried: "Miss, what danger happened?" They were even slower than the lady and didn't notice anything unusual!
Lu Lu tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and just as she was about to open her mouth to have a fit, she heard the guard's voice coming from outside the door: "Miss Dan, the lady has been waiting for a long time."
Xu Dan pushed the door open and came in with a tired look on her face. She rubbed her brows and seemed not to notice the atmosphere in the room. She sat directly next to her cousin and picked up the sesame rice that had become warm on the table: "Eat first, if you want anything later, talk later."
"Cousin, thank you for your hard work." Lu Lu closed his mouth, rarely relaxed his brows, and waved away all the guards in the room, leaving only the two of them.
Night had fallen by now, but the streets were at their busiest, and even with the windows closed they couldn't block the noisy voices below.
The two ate their meal in silence.
Xu Dan took out a small bundle of silk thread from his hidden sleeve, tapped his wrist, and pointed to the window. Lu Lu understood.
She put away the thread and chatted with her cousin about the Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of this, Xu Dan couldn't help but get angry. After staying in the county for so long, he had been pestered by these guys who were full of evil intentions. Fortunately, their food business was backed by their uncle, so they didn't dare to confront him head-on.
The grain store has always been secretly controlled by my uncle. It is not as big as the three big families, and it is not as famous as them. Even so, it is not something that Hu merchants can rub. Who knows those who came from the south of the Yangtze River to open up markets in the northwest? The caravan also joined in to disgust her.
"Since the government implemented new taxes in Jiangnan, the landowners in the south couldn't bear the high land taxes and began to sell off their farmland. As soon as they sold the land, the government took back the farmland." Lu Lu knew these things, and His Majesty implemented it in Jiangnan. The new tax is called "two taxes". Land tax is levied in summer and grain tax is levied in autumn. This makes it difficult for landowners with large land to resist and have to reduce the size of their land.
"Do you know what those Jiangnan businessmen are here for? They deliberately negotiated with the Hu businessmen at the chamber of commerce and in front of me to sign an agreement to expand the cultivation of garlic! Don't these Hu businessmen not know how smart the southern businessmen are? They are going to expand the cultivation of garlic in the south. Garlic, wouldn't their persistent long-term monopoly on garlic come to naught? Oh, in this way, the advantage is that the price of garlic in Chang'an has dropped, but the disadvantage is also..." Xu Dan punched him hard regardless of etiquette. After looking at the table, they found that their garlic selling business had not yet spread, and they had to face this disgusting thing. "They even invited me to join them in order to lower the price of garlic in the northwest. Who are they disgusting with!!"
Lu Lu stroked her cousin's hand and told her to calm down. "Hu merchants will not be so simple as to give up the market to the South for nothing."
Just because a spice has become like this, you can see how profitable it will be when it is spread on a large scale, and everyone is chasing it.
After dinner, it was already dark, lanterns began to be hung on the streets, and candles were lit in the buildings.
The female guard came in, took the dishes out, and stayed in the room. Xu Dan went to the inner room to change clothes and wash up, but Lu Lu still sat by the window, leaning on the window frame and looking out through the gap to enjoy the excitement at night.
The excitement never belonged to her, she could only watch it from a distance.
No one knew the movements of her hands. A silk thread that was extremely difficult to find fell from the gap and it was unknown where it would be blown by the wind.
One end of the silk thread was tied around her wrist.
This inn is the tallest building on the nearby streets, and the surrounding restaurants and pavilions are lower. From this height, she can see many different views.
After a while, she felt the silk thread wrapped around her wrist on the window frame tighten and loosen, which seemed to tell her that something had been wrapped around the other end.
Lu Lu couldn't help but lower her eyes and glanced at her white wrist. If it weren't for the feeling, she wouldn't even be able to tell that there was something wrapped around her hand. She didn't know where the second man of the Li family found such a magical thing.
Ji Qingyue was also amazed. He knew that Li Erlang had such a bundle of silk threads and also knew the origin of the silk threads. What was amazing was that Li Erlang could actually see a single silk thread. What kind of look would it look like in his eyes.
This is the silk thread left by the opera performer to wrap the ball when he suppressed the bandits in Yaoshan. The copper ball has been returned to its original owner and returned to the opera performer, while the silk thread was taken away by Li Erlang.
Silk threads are not indestructible; fire and force can destroy them. It's just that this thin thread, which is extremely difficult to see with the naked eye, can throw up a copper ball with a certain weight, which is enough to prove the strength of the thread.
Lu Lu gently closed the window, "Rat and Rabbit Wheel, you take the paper and pen, go separately to find those eight people, and ask them to write down what they saw and did while on duty, no matter how big or small, let them write down everything. , you even wrote down how many bites you took, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Downstairs, Li Erlang didn't know what was happening upstairs. He sat by the window and placed the scroll on the tea table aside.
Ji Qingyue couldn't get out and couldn't see the hustle and bustle on the street. Li Erlang could only verbally describe the hustle and bustle on the street to relieve Ji Qingyue's addiction.
It seems that Yue Lang likes this kind of excitement very much and keeps asking him what kind of food is available on the street. Unfortunately, Li Erlang has not eaten much himself and cannot describe the specific taste. "How about I go downstairs and buy a cold dish for you to try?"
"Okay, okay!" Ji Qingyue sat on the bridge and nodded repeatedly. He could hear the shouts of hawkers on the street, shouting the names of meals and snacks he had never heard of. Even after dinner, he was still a little greedy. If he had known better He used to be a frequent visitor to the snack street, so he could have anything for a late-night snack.
He brought two pottery bowls to Li Erlang and asked him to buy two bowls so that they could taste something they had never tasted before.
After a while, Li Erlang brought back two bowls of cold noodles. Ji Qingyue took a look and felt happy, isn't this cold noodles? However, the soup of this cold noodle is dark green and has the smell of leaves. When eaten with black bean sauce, it has a unique flavor.
"But speaking of it, Erlang, your eyes are really good. A ball of silk thread is acceptable, but you can actually see such a thin thread!!" Ji Qingyue did not forget to sigh while tasting the cold noodles.
Li Erlang smiled and said: "If you hadn't mentioned Yue Lang's tricks last time, I would have had a hard time seeing the tricks on the copper ball. Since taking away the silk thread, I have often studied in private how to distinguish such delicate tricks. The thread finally made me discover some clues."
Ever since Li Erlang lay on the roof and discovered an unusual path on a distant mountain, Ji Qingyue knew that their vision and observation were not at the same level. Li Erlang not only has excellent eyesight, but also has extreme concentration and insight. These abilities allow him to detect very small things.
Humph, he didn't want to delve into these abilities that he couldn't reach.
Jealousy changes people beyond recognition.
