Fu Tang

Li Congjia's shocked expression made Yang Xin feel quite ashamed, and he couldn't figure it out, why...was he beaten up?

"Are you letting her go?" Li Congjia asked hopelessly.

Yang Xin shook his head in despair, if he really gave in, it probably wouldn't be so miserable.

Li Congjia closed his eyes and said, "Put these aside for now, come and prepare the horse, we will chase her back!"

Yang Xin couldn't help but said angrily: "If she wants to leave, she can just leave, what does she do?"

Li Congjia couldn't help knocking him on the head with his fingers, and said bluntly: "If she really ran away, there would be a lot of trouble. Tian Wuniang was determined to take revenge before, but she is a weak woman, how can she take revenge? It's amazing. It's an assassination, her target is Zhao Kuangyin, no matter if she succeeds or not, at that time, there will be one person in this yard, so don't even think about living!"

Yang Xin couldn't help pointing to his face and said, "Weak girl?"

Li Congjia said indifferently: "You should be repaired by your master."

Yang Xin howled suddenly, and was slapped on the back by Li Congjia and said, "What are you crying for, hurry up and follow me to chase someone!"

Li Congjia thought about it and felt a little unsafe. Although he had doubts about Tian Wuniang's force value, he still took a few guards and rode all the way towards the city gate.

Originally, Tian Wuniang had already run away, and Li Congjia was not very hopeful about recovering her, but after running five miles out of the city gate, Li Congjia vaguely saw Tian Wuniang's figure.

Tian Wuniang didn't run away, but just stayed there, and...surrounded by a group of men wearing unknown standard armor.

Li Congjia thumped in his heart, and quickly ran over and shouted: "Stop!"

Tian Wuniang looked up at Li Congjia, she didn't speak, but the soldiers around her stood around her, drew out the long knife at her waist, and shouted: "Stop whoever comes!"

Li Congjiale's horse stopped, but before he could speak, Tian Wuniang said, "Li Langjun, it's my fault for leaving without saying goodbye. You are good people. I don't want to hurt you. Stay."

Li Congjia had been galloping all the way here, and he was about to die when he was riding a horse. At this time, he was issued a good person card before he could speak. He almost didn't come up, almost died of anger!

Li Congjia's patience will also be exhausted, and he said with restraint: "I have said so much, but you didn't listen to it? Why are you so stubborn? Who is Zhao Kuangyin? You are alone. How can you be his opponent? Follow me quickly Go back, let's think about it in the long run!"

"I'm not alone." Tian Wuniang looked around: "I still have someone."

Li Congjia was puzzled: "Who are these...?"

Tian Wuniang pinned a strand of loose hair behind her ear, and said sadly, "They are all part of my family."

Part... part?

Li Congjia thought for a moment that he had heard it wrong. If he remembered correctly, Tian Tongpan should be a civil servant, right?Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the Tian family didn't look like a family that could build a Wubao before.

The most important thing is that the master's family was arrested for committing crimes, and those servants were going to be arrested along with them, so why did they stay outside?

The more Li Congjia thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he made up his mind that he must stay with him!

Tian Wuniang said: "There is a part, you don't need to worry."

Yang Xin couldn't help but said: "How many plays do you have? Do you know how many soldiers Zhao Kuangyin has under his command? What's more, you can compare to Zhao Kuangyin in leading soldiers and fighting?"

Tian Wuniang raised her head: "I have three thousand pieces. I dare not say that the weak can defeat the strong, but there is always a chance to fight!"

Li Congjia said calmly: "Then have you thought about how you will support these 3000 people? You are alone now, with no money and no foundation. How do you control them? Only by loyalty?"

Tian Wuniang looked firm: "I will think of a way!"

Li Congjia was helpless: "You can't do it like this, forget it, I will take you to a place."

Yang Xin looked at Li Congjia in surprise: "Your Majesty!"

Li Congjia waved to him and said, "Let's go."

Tian Wuniang frowned: "I..."

"Don't talk, follow me now. If you still insist on leaving when you get there, I will never stop you!" Li Congjia also had no choice, he really couldn't let Tian Wuniang mess around.

After hearing this, Tian Wuniang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Anyway, she actually has nowhere to go now, so it's okay to follow along to take a look.

Tian Wuniang originally thought that Li Congjia was taking her to the manor outside the city, but she didn't expect to go further and further away, and finally entered the forest.

Li Congjia did not take Tian Wuniang and the others on the main road, but chose a relatively secluded path. Here Shi Yanlie led people to remodel the layout of the trees. There will be changes, so every time the way is different.

Li Congjia calculated the route, and halfway through, a soldier beside Tian Wuniang pulled out his knife again and said, "Wait a minute! What is this place? Why is there a formation?"

Li Congjia turned his head and found Tian Wuniang's face was full of inquiry, but she didn't panic in any way. He couldn't help but look at her again, and said with a smile, "See it?"

Tian Wuniang said: "Take the knife away, if Mr. Li Lang wants to kill me, why should he save me?"

The little soldier hesitated a little after hearing this, and then slowly retracted the knife.

Li Congjia then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't even covered your eyes."

Tian Wuniang said firmly: "This formation is not fixed. If we go through this time, it may not be the same next time. If we don't know the way, I'm afraid we will get lost in this forest."

Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Wu Niang can see that?"

Tian Wuniang sighed: "The family has a long history."

Li Congjia became more and more suspicious, what kind of existence is the Tian family?Didn't Zhao Kuangyin tell him too carefully about the reason for the fall of the Tian family?

But whether you are careful or not, everyone has been rescued now, let's just trust Tian Wuniang once.

Li Congjia took Tian Wuniang all the way through the mountains and forests. To his surprise, Tian Wuniang didn't even blush and was out of breath all the way. Strictly speaking, she seemed to have better physical strength than Yang Xin Some.

And Yang Xin, who followed beside him, was really unwilling to admit defeat at this moment... It was useless, for a moment he even wondered if this was in a dream?Tian Wuniang...has never been like this.

When approaching the village, Tian Wuniang faintly saw the outline of the buildings in the village, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Where is that place?"

Li Congjia opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't say the word Wagangzhai, so he pretended to be profound and said, "Didn't you know it in the past?"

After arriving at the destination, Tian Wuniang looked at the gate of the village, and a look of surprise finally appeared on her calm face all the way: "Here... how can there be such a place here?"

What surprised Tian Wuniang even more was that these people actually called Li Congjia the head of the village.

After getting to the main hall, Li Congjia sat in the main seat, Tian Wuniang finally couldn't help asking: "You... all your money was stolen?"

Li Congjia paused when he was about to hold the teacup, and was quite speechless.

Miss, you are not paying attention, right?

But before he could speak, Yang Xin jumped out and said, "Don't talk nonsense, since we came here, we have never robbed pedestrians again!"

Tian Wuniang was stunned, looked at Li Congjia and asked, "Then... what's going on here?"

Li Congjia blew the tea and said, "Don't worry about where this place is, anyway, as long as you know it's safe here, you won't have any problems if you stay here, right?"

Tian Wuniang was a little hesitant, and Yang Xin couldn't help muttering, "Why are you being so nice to her? Anyway, she won't appreciate it."

Tian Wuniang ignored Yang Xin, and just asked, "Li Langjun... I'm afraid he's not from Zhou?"

Li Congjia tilted his head and asked, "How do you see it?"

Tian Wuniang said: "When I came here, I saw someone practicing with a weapon, and this village belongs to you. This is not like the behavior of ordinary wealthy households."

Li Congjia said with a smile: "Your Tian family can have trilogy. In troubled times, for self-protection, it's no problem to raise some people, right?"

Tian Wuniang shook her head: "It's different."

But specifically why it was different, Tian Wuniang refused to say.

Li Congjia had no choice but to say: "You just need to know that you and I have the same enemy."

Tian Wuniang was taken aback for a moment: "Zhao Kuangyin?"

Li Congjia nodded, and Tian Wuniang said curiously: "I heard that he treats you well, what hatred do you have with him?"

The hatred has gone!From the very first meeting, Zhao Kuangyin aroused his hatred, but this was secondary, the most important thing was the worry about the future, so Li Congjia had to put Zhao Kuangyin as the number one enemy.

However, Li Congjia couldn't tell these things, and he couldn't tell others, so he had to say: "You are right, I am indeed not from Zhou. Zhao Kuangyin once massacred the city in Guangling before. This is the hatred between me and him."

After Tian Wuniang heard this, she mistakenly thought that Li Congjia's family died in the massacre, and she immediately understood, and believed in Li Congjia even more.

"So, you are building a stockade here and gathering talents, are you planning... to deal with Zhao Kuangyin?" Tian Wuniang was a little surprised, this is not something that can be done overnight.

Li Congjia did not refute, but only said: "I have been plotting for a long time, but I can't find a suitable opportunity. You are so impulsive, how can you be Zhao Kuangyin's opponent?"

Tian Wuniang sneered and said: "I know it's not easy, if it's really not possible, the big deal is to borrow a knife to kill someone and let him die in someone else's hands. I have no regrets, as long as he is buried with my family!"

Li Congjia looked up at her: "Borrowing a knife to kill someone? How should I say it?"

Tian Wuniang said: "However he framed my family, he will pay back everything, what's more... as long as he loses the battle, someone will naturally deal with him, and we don't need to take action!"

This method is not bad, Li Congjia rubbed his chin and said: "In this case, if he lost Jiangdu Mansion, wouldn't he also lose a layer of skin?"

Tian Wuniang was shocked: "You...you have the idea of ​​Jiangdu Mansion?"

"Otherwise? What did you think before?"

Tian Wuniang looked at Li Congjia in awe: "I plan to find a way to lure Zhao Kuangyin out of the city, and then lay an ambush."

The corner of Li Congjia's mouth twitched, this plan is too rough, and isn't this what he left over from playing?

Li Congjia had no choice but to tell the truth: "This probably won't work. You don't need Zhao Kuangyin to make small troubles. His subordinates will naturally rush to get out. If you want to lure him out, you must have a large enough scale."

Tian Wuniang was also worried about this, but she insisted: "But attacking Jiangdu Mansion... Even if you add your people, it will not be enough!"

Li Congjia asked back: "What if Zhao Kuangyin is sent to leave?"

Tian Wuniang frowned: "Send troops to leave?"

Li Congjia waved his hand and said, "I'll figure out a way for this matter. If Zhao Kuangyin can really take most of the troops away, then we should cooperate internally and externally to take down Jiangdu Mansion. It's just that... Zhao Kuangyin will definitely hoard troops at that time." Hua or Chuzhou, if he comes to attack Jiangdu Mansion, how to defend it is what we need to worry about."

Tian Wuniang was helpless: "Shouldn't the important thing be how to let Zhao Kuangyin lead the troops away? Now the court is very tight, even Zhao Kuangyin may not dare to act rashly."

Yang Xin, who has been forced to be the set board, couldn't help but said: "Since Mr. Lang said so, he must have his way!"

Tian Wuniang glanced at him and didn't bother with the question any more, but asked again: "Then what kind of banner shall we play? It must be justified."

Li Congjia asked back: "What banner do you want to play?"

Tian Wuniang was very straightforward: "If Li Langjun can facilitate this matter, I will follow the example of Langjun! Those who are fugitives dare not ask for too much!"

Li Congjia clapped his hands and said, "Okay, simply! How about playing the Tang banner! This can make people mistaken for Southern Tang, and we can also be said to be descendants of the Tang royal family, how about it?"

Tian Wuniang naturally agreed, and she didn't find it strange in her heart. Anyway, these days, whenever there is trouble, you always have to recognize a relative with the previous dynasty or the loser of the imperial power struggle.

Seeing that she had no objection, Li Congjia said, "So, for your peace of mind, we will make an alliance with blood!"

Tian Wuniang is also a happy person: "It's a deal!"

Yang Xin couldn't help but said: "Mr. Lang...you...are you making an alliance with a woman?"

Tian Wuniang raised her eyebrows: "It doesn't hurt you to be beaten, does it?"

Yang Xin ran behind Li Congjia and complained, "You look like a little lady now."

Li Congjia laughed and said: "It is said that a person who can support so many trilogy, his daughter is definitely not an ordinary little lady, why can't I believe it?"

Tian Wuniang was very moved, and then... Li Congjia and Li Congjia wiped their mouths full of chicken blood. Li Congjia felt like vomiting when he smelled the blood!

After this set of procedures was completed, Li Congjia sent someone to invite Shi Yanlie back and said: "Although I am the owner of the village, due to some problems, Master Shi Yanlie is now the master in the village. Do you have anything to discuss with the master?" , Master, if you can’t decide, come ask me again, it’s getting late, I’m going back.”

Tian Wuniang bowed and saluted and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li Lang, for taking in and helping me."

Li Congjia said frankly: "If you help me, you are helping me. What's more, you take three thousand pieces of music with you, and you are considered a powerful party wherever you go. I can say that I have taken advantage of it."

Tian Wuniang was confused by his love, but she felt more at ease in her heart. Indeed, although Li Congjia had saved her and helped her avenge her, she also joined the team with three thousand pieces. It's not completely worthless.

After Li Congjia returned to Jiangning Mansion, he couldn't help taking Yang Xin to find Shi Xueting. Yang Xin shrank and didn't want to go, but he didn't dare not to go, his quail appearance was very pitiful.

Seeing that the expressions of the two of them were not right, Shi Xueting couldn't help being surprised: "What's wrong?"

Li Congjia knew that Shi Xueting was probably doing his homework before and didn't know what happened, so he recounted everything.

After Shi Xueting finished listening, he looked up at Yang Xin and asked, "That is to say, you were beaten by a helpless little lady?"

Yang Xin was obviously more afraid of Shi Xueting, and whispered: "She...she has no strength to restrain a chicken, she can lift me up with one hand! I have never seen such a fierce little lady!"

Shi Xueting looked indifferent: "You were beaten up by the little lady, and you are still looking for a reason? Tomorrow double the homework!"

Yang Xin looked desperate, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only agree.

Li Congjia reluctantly reached out to hold the case: "Master Xueting, is your point wrong?"

When Shi Xueting turned to face Li Congjia, the frost on his face faded, and he said with a smile: "Didn't Mr. Lang do a good job? I can't think of any better suggestions."

Li Congjia asked seriously: "No, what I want to ask is, is there any way you can get Zhao Kuangyin transferred?"

Shi Xueting pondered for a while and said: "Two ways, one is to let someone from other places rise up, and he needs to lead the army to put down the rebellion, but Mr. Lang also said that it takes a large-scale battle to make it possible for Zhao Kuangyin to take action personally. One way... is to find a way to get Zhou Ting to transfer Zhao Kuangyin away."

Li Congjia frowned: "Both of these are indeed not easy to achieve. Zhao Kuangyin is guarding the border here and is ready to continue attacking Datang at any time. It is impossible to leave easily."

Shi Xueting said: "In this case, it will fall on one person."

Li Congjia knew it well, but he still asked, "Who?"

"Jiaofangshi."

This was similar to Li Congjia's answer, but he still hesitated: "The envoy of Jiaofang is just an eunuch and has no real power in his hands. It may be useless to find him."

Shi Xueting coiled his rosary and said: "How will you know if you don't try it? The relationship behind the Jiaofang envoy must be complicated, and according to what you said, the Jiaofang envoy and Zhao Kuangyin are at odds. There will be no disagreement."

Li Congjia had a thoughtful expression on his face. After thinking carefully for half a night, he discussed with Shi Xueting again, and turned around to visit the Jiaofang envoy the next day.

The envoy of Jiaofang was quite polite to Li Congjia. After all, Li Congjia was knowledgeable and would give valuable gifts every time he went.

After taking his seat, Li Congjia asked, "This time Yu came here because of a merciless invitation."

The Jiaofang envoy asked, "What is it?"

Li Congjia asked with some embarrassment: "I don't know when the Jiaofang envoy will return to Beijing? I would like to ask the Jiaofang envoy to send someone to bring some special products from the capital. If it is not convenient, I can also send someone to accompany me, but I just need the Jiaofang envoy's advice. In case the servant has never seen the world, doesn’t understand anything, and buys the wrong thing.”

The Jiaofang envoy smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? But I should go back years ago."

Li Congjia nodded, and asked again: "The envoy of Jiaofang is going back...I'm afraid he wants to explain the situation of Jiangdu Prefecture to the saint?"

The teacher was a little confused: "It is true."

Li Congjia hesitated and said: "There is one thing, I may be too sensitive, but I still want to tell the envoy of Jiaofang, so that the sage should be careful to set up the envoy of the country."

Jiaofang changed his face: "What do you mean?"

Li Congjia explained: "As far as I know, the Jiedu Envoy has been staying in Jiangdu Prefecture for nearly a year. During this year, he has firmly held the military power around Jiangdu Prefecture in his hands. Anyone who touches his interests , was given by him...Tian Tongpan was an example before."

The teacher was a little confused: "So what?"

Li Congjia was helpless: "Messenger, how did the Tang Dynasty fall? Have you forgotten? Isn't it just that the Jiedu envoys supported their own troops and the imperial court's ability to control various places declined?"

Of course, there were many reasons for the demise of the Tang Dynasty, and one of the most important reasons was the disintegration of the land equalization system. Of course, this has nothing to do with what Li Congjia wanted to express, so he didn't say it.

The envoy of Jiaofang didn't have any ink in his stomach, but he knew that Li Congjia was someone who even the great Confucian teacher Xingyi had praised, so he certainly wouldn't be aimless when he said that.

However, Jiaofang also has a lot of eyes: "Just based on your one-sided words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convict the national Jiedu envoy."

Li Congjia almost laughed out loud. He just reminded the Jiaofang Envoy to be careful. His intention was to let the higher-ups be wary of Zhao Kuangyin.

Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid that this kind of thing can only be confirmed by listening to what those soldiers say. If they all think that Zhao Kuangyin is very good, then there is definitely a problem. The so-called training of troops is naturally strict. If you are strict, there will be resentment, if no one resents Zhao Kuangyin, it means he is buying people's hearts!"

The envoy of Jiaofang heard it right, but he hesitated: "Zhao Kuangyin has a strong control over the army. I'm afraid that I can't enter the barracks at will for no reason."

Is it so easy to fool?Li Congjia's words can be said to be very arbitrary. These days, as long as the commander can feed and clothe the soldiers so that they will not go hungry or cold, and will not easily let the soldiers under him be cannon fodder, the praise rate should be good. Zhao Kuangyin can go to Today, there must be many people who support him. As long as the Jiaofang envoy passes by, it is equivalent to convicting Zhao Kuangyin!

Thinking of this, Li Congjia couldn't help rubbing his hands and said secretly: "If Zhao Kuangyin can leave Jiangdu Mansion, maybe there is a way!"

The Jiaofang envoy immediately asked, "Oh? What can you do?"
