Chapter 603 Xiongdu (forty-six)
Although the father and son of the Li family are family, it is said that there is a mansion that is enough to live in. However, now the Duke of Tang is the burden of the survival of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he also bears the burden of commanding more than 100,000 tigers on his shoulders, so he naturally cannot suffer any grievances. Therefore, everyone of the Li family has their own private houses. Although they are not far apart, they can only do their own things to ensure privacy. Li Jiancheng had exchanged with the children of famous families when he was in Jinyang, and now there are endless banquets. The orchestra orchestra of the silk and bamboo music and orchestra are singing and dancing all the time. If Li Yuan was considered the Emperor of Hidden, Li Jiancheng's style would be above the crown prince.
Today is no exception. Outside the door, there are famous horses and carriages, and in the hall, the graceful woman dances with long sleeves, and the delicious nectar and jade liquid are flowing in. The guests in brocade clothes raise their glasses and drink and laugh loudly. It seems that they are no different from the past, but if you look closely, you will find that Li Jiancheng, as the owner, was not present, and even his confidant Xie Shufang, had not attended.
The host's family is naturally rude to leave the banquet without reason, but Li Jiancheng's subordinates have people who can socialize, which is enough to ensure that the banquet will not be in a cold situation. What's more important is that although these people who drink banquets may not have much real talent, they are all people who are responsible for social events, so they naturally know when to pretend to be deaf and blind.
Li Jiancheng must have a secret talk with Xie Shufang and even several other aristocratic sons who are very close to each other, so they must have a secret conversation. If anyone is looking for them at this time, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to find them? Therefore, everyone is tacitly aware of it, and they pretend that they have never found anyone leaving the seat, and they have never whispered to each other, and they secretly pondered it. In the past few days, Chang'an City is calm and surging in secret. What is Li Jiancheng planning? Even if these people don’t know them completely, they will have a glimpse of it.
Although Xu Le's mission to Jiangdu was a secret, these people were well-informed and had already found some clues. It was said that the matter came to an end at this point. Xu Le beat Dou Fengjie and the Duke sent him to die. He also agreed. Using Xu Le's life to make up for Dou Fengjie is also an explanation. The so-called murder is just a matter of placing the ground, and now it is time to use people to apologize to Dou Dalang for one of his life. The prince still refused to forgive him, so these people couldn't understand how he would give up.
In the study, Li Jiancheng's face was gloomy, there was no smile on his face, and his tone was even more unwilling: "Xu Le is really bold. Could it be that he thought he had a few more heads than others? When he left, our thoughts were in vain! Instead, he confessed Dou Dalang in vain. Although he was stupid, he would be able to figure everything out sooner or later."
Xie Shufang shook his head and sneered: "What can he do if he figured it out? Don't think that he dared to be reluctant to Xu Le, and he would not dare to make things difficult for the husband if he wanted to figure out! Even if he figured out, he had to continue to pretend to be confused, otherwise we would have some ways to make him feel better!"
"With that being said, there is no benefit in offending people out of thin air. Besides, everyone is a relative, and he will see him without looking up. If others know about it in the future, it will be very troublesome."
Xie Shufang knew that Li Jiancheng was not afraid of Dou Fengjie. This playboy was just a trouble for Li Jiancheng at best. The reason why he refused to let go was actually to use the issue to express his dissatisfaction with himself. Xie Shufang felt that since the defeat in Pujin, Li Jiancheng had been quite dissatisfied with him. After Chang'an conquered the city, this dissatisfaction became even stronger.
On the surface, I am still Li Jiancheng's think tank at the moment, but I can feel that they are already divorced from each other than before. This design was intended to save the relationship between the two, but I did not expect it to be futile, and now it has caused Li Jiancheng to blame.
He couldn't figure out what he did wrong and evil. The prince of the Li family, but the situation was stronger than others. Who made the Jiangzuo Xie family lose their momentum again? He had to swallow his anger and do not know and continue to perfunctory the future head of the Li family. Seeing that Li Jiancheng was unhappy, Xie Shufang was still calm and said with a smile:
"Mr. I'm too worried. Dou Dalang promised to do this, so he should have thought that he might get fisted. Now it's easy to calm him down. Just give him Xu Le's head. Of course, this head is not cut off by Jiang Du, but we take it down and give it to Dou Dalang. This favor is enough, and even if he has a huge anger, he should be relieved."
"Cutting Xu Le's head? It's easy to say this. That's a tough guy who has led dozens of people to rush to Chang'an and left tens of thousands of soldiers helpless. What tricks do you have to cut off his head?"
Xie Shufang Qiang endured his unhappiness and continued to say, "Mr. I only know one thing but not the other. Although Xu Le is extremely brave, he is a land hero. What he relies on is nothing more than courage, BMW, and those armored cavalry charge in formation. These abilities are only useful when they are used on land. If he is put on the water, even if he has the means of reaching the sky, he will not be able to use it. What are we afraid of him? My husband thinks about it? If he wants to go to Jiangdu, he must go on the water route. Now there are thieves who are rampant in the water route and official roads. He disguised himself and did not put up a banner. He was killed by bandits as a merchant. It is not unusual."
Li Jiancheng was stunned and stared at Xie Shufang: "If you need to use effective personnel to do this, where can we find someone? If someone finds the root of the body, the first person in the adults will not agree!"
"Your husband, even though you don't have to worry, this plan was thought out by someone, and the person who takes action will naturally come to find a way. Make sure that the arrangement is made properly and no clues will be found."
Li Jiancheng did not say anything, but fell into deep thought. Xie Shufang's words were obviously not a silence. Most of his subordinates had an obedient thief who thought he was using it. As long as Xie Shufang gave an order, they would launch an attack. After all, the Xie family in the Jiangzuo area was a clan that had been in the southeast for many years. Although their reputation and business are not as good as before, it was ultimately a century-legged worm that died without being stiff. It was not surprising that some private soldiers in the army were.
Those bandits who can occupy one side have fame mostly collude with aristocratic families. Outsiders seem to be high-ranking families that are not related to thieves. In fact, both sides are just birds of a feather, and it is not rare for aristocratic families to raise thieves to rob one’s family and eliminate opponents. People who can be valued by Xie Shufang are naturally not weak, and inconvenient to people perform on the water, perhaps... can they really succeed?
Li Jiancheng's heart was a little moved, and he also became alert. Xie Shufang had never said before that that he had control of such a water bandit, and it was obviously hiding his own scheming. He had to be more careful about him, so as not to be counted by him one day.
At this moment, Liu Wenjing, who had not made any comments for many days, suddenly stood up and said, "My husband must not do this! Xu Le's trip is related to the great cause of the Li family. If he misses business due to personal anger, I am afraid that the Duke of the State will not explain it!"
Xie Shufang snorted coldly: "Why did Mr. Liu say this? I know why the Duke arranged for Xu Le to serve as an envoy in Jiangdu. It was just to ask him for his head. Do you really think that a martial artist could make an alliance? This is simply a joke!"
"Even if you can't make a contract, you should die in Jiangdu, not on the road. Yang Guangzhang's great reputation spreads, and even if he is the one who is straightforward, he can let go of his hands and feet and stand invincible in the future. If Xu Le died halfway, Yang Guang could throw him away! Should the Duke send another envoy? Or let him go? Should our army attack the Wagang thieves first, or meet the Sui army first?"
Liu Wenjing's tone was strong and powerful, and even Li Jiancheng could not care about his face. Although he was also a noble family, he also wanted to make friends with Li Jiancheng to make a fortune and get a share of his own in troubled times, but his thoughts were quite different from Xie Shufang.
The old family of Jiangzuo Wang Xie has been passed down for many years, and what he is considering is whether his family business can be revitalized. He doesn't care who has the country in his hands. After all, Liu Wenjing's family background cannot be compared with these people, and his mind is different. In his opinion, it is understandable to revitalize the family business and improve the family status, but the country must be stable to achieve these. If there is endless wars in the world, a family like himself who cannot wait for it may be uprooted. It is now the top priority to end the war quickly and avoid repeating the tragedy of the Five Barbarians invading China.
Since his family is tied to the Li family, he naturally hopes that the Li family can unify China. It is too early for Xie Shufang to eliminate dissidents and fight for power, and even if he kills Xu Le, the invincible general, is not the time. Although the Li family controls Chang'an, the Wagang army is like a wolf and a tiger, and the Sui Dynasty also has the power to fight. Apart from them, there are even more terrifying Turkic cavalry in the north, as well as heroes like Liu Wuzhou. How many heroes are there in the world, who can tell clearly?
At this time, we should put the overall situation first, rather than rushing to earn money and make a profit and compete for benefits. Li Jiancheng wanted to cut off Li Shimin's future and it was difficult for him to stop him. Now they still want to kill Xu Le, which is too ignorant.
But as soon as he said that, Li Jiancheng took over: "What Zhaoren said is extremely true. We should put the overall situation first and not abolish the public because of personal gain. I just pretended that Junshu had not heard and would not mention it again in the future. However,... Zhaoren does not have to exaggerate. It is difficult to go on a boat and a horse. If God does not tolerate Xu Le, we can't help it. We can't say that without Xu Le, our Li family will not be able to win the world. How can this reason be in the world?"
Li Jiancheng's words were like a pot of cold water pouring on his head, making Liu Wenjing feel cold. For the first time, he thought seriously whether he had followed the wrong lord. Although this Li family's eldest son is the chief of the Li family, he looks like a kingly demeanor and can make friends with the aristocratic family, and is a qualified candidate for the lord. But now it sounds that his pattern is too low, and he is quite suspicious of being a savage. It would be fine if such a person was born in a normal day. In such a chaotic world, can he defeat those heroes and win the world?
