Chapter 134: The goal of poverty

Taihe City was already crazy. Teams of soldiers were smashing doors from house to house and searching. Who dared to stop them at all and was immediately knocked over and caught. A Tang Dynasty man, a middle-aged man, was covered with wanted portraits of Wu Yulin, and whoever had clues would reward 500 taels of gold. If the last time the Tubo envoy was killed was only a trivial matter, then the death of Piluoge suddenly magnified into a watermelon.

The Imperial Doctor Luo had confessed that the bowl of medicine that Piluoge drank to death was prepared by the Imperial Doctor Wu, and the bowl of medicine that poisoned the dog was prepared by him. He insisted that it was Ge Luofeng instructing him to poison. The news that the eldest prince killed his father quickly spread throughout the city as if he had wings. However, Ge Luofeng was always kind and had no evidence, so few believers and many doubts, but another news was the opposite, most believers, and the Han doctor Wu Yulin was also suspected of poisoning. When he escaped from the palace, he used the gold medal of the second prince Yu Chengjie.

All news is rumors, the key is evidence, so grabbing Wu Yulin and winning the gold medal in his hand became the focus of the two factions' competition. This is the last straw for Ge Luofeng, and it is also the thing Yu Chengjie is most afraid of: killing his father.

In a secret mansion outside Taihe City, Ge Luofeng, with an anxious face, paced back and forth in the room, with his hands behind his back, his fingers tugged white, and accidents were repeatedly unfavorable to him. He had already made the worst plan and sent his wife and daughter away. He himself did not dare to stay in the city anymore. Most of the army in the city supported Yu Chengjie. Once the army changed, he would definitely die.

Since the Tubo delegation was killed, Ge Luofeng felt that he had been trapped and slowly tightened the rope around his neck step by step. But based on intuition, he thought that this was not done by Yu Chengjie and others, and his style was not similar. There must be someone behind the scenes who were directing all this. It should have been done by the Tang Dynasty, and only they had that strength.

"Is it Wei Jian's success?"

Ge Luofeng shook her head. They had contacted each other. Wei Jian was calm and should not have used this dangerous move. After thinking for a long time, he had no idea. He simply didn't think about it. The most urgent thing was to catch the Chinese doctor and get the gold medal that Yu Chengjie poisoned his father.

The door knocked gently, and it must be the person responsible for the arrest that the message was sent. Ge Luofeng was excited and sat back quickly.

"Come in!"

A man walked in quietly. The man's surname was Yu and the commander of the Black Feather Team. Things were not going well, so he had to come to report to his lord in person. Seeing that he looked nervous, Ge Luofeng said coldly without waiting for him to speak, "You brought back bad news, right?"

"I am incompetent, I only know that the Han doctor was taken away by a very tall and strong man, and there was no news about the rest."

Before he could finish his words, an inkstone hit him hard, hitting his forehead, and blood suddenly flowed.

"If you can't find it, you all die!" Ge Luofeng, who has always been calm, roared. It's no wonder that as long as you catch the gold medal, it can prove that poisoning your father was Yu Chengjie's instructor. Even if he fails temporarily, he can win the hearts of the people and make a comeback in the future.

Commander Yu knelt on the ground, motionless, letting blood flow all over his face. He said in a deep voice: "Please give me two more hours, and I will definitely be able to catch the Chinese doctor."

"Hmph! When you find it, he will be a corpse long ago."

"I thought things weren't that bad, and there was hope."

Commander Yu's words made Ge Luofeng seem to see a ray of light in the dark night. He hurriedly said, "How do you say this? What hope?"

"When my subordinates arrived, Yu Chengjie's people were also searching everywhere, indicating that the Han doctor was not in their hands, so my subordinates dared to judge that the strong man who took the Han doctor away must have been an accident."

"A strong man, very skilled in martial arts." Ge Luofeng frowned and murmured to himself. He seemed to have found some clues, but it was very unclear. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he found the answer, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Hurry! Go and call Duan Fuke to me."

It was dim and it was almost dark. The soldiers on the street were still smashing the door and searching. Not only did they not restrain themselves, but they became even more crazy. From time to time, men's roars came from the houses, followed by soldiers' yelling, and finally the cry of women and children. Wu Yulin seemed to have broken bubbles, and there was no trace.

Commander Yu was right. Wu Yulin was not in Chengjie's hands. To be precise, it was not in Zhao Quandeng's hands. Yu Chengjie was like a naughty boy who was not upset, with a beautiful face in the air. At this time, he was looking at his master timidly. Wang Bingge was the one who captured Wu Yulin, and Wang Bingge was sent by Zhao Quandeng to kill people to silence people. Unexpectedly, the killer and target disappeared at the same time. It would be fine if Zhao Quandeng was angry that Yu Chengjie actually gave Li Qing the gold medal on his back. Now this gold medal has become his most troublesome thing, just as if he had forgotten to bring paper in the cottage. After coming out, he felt indescribable.

"Master, if I had known about the result today, I would never have lent him the gold medal."

Yu Chengjie secretly glanced at Zhao Quanden. Seeing that his expression did not improve because of his own explanation, he thought that this was not beautiful. He quickly added another sentence: "He told me that he would send a master to the palace, but he did not have a token, so he was afraid that he would not be able to enter his father's bedroom, so I gave it to him. I think this should be correct."

Zhao Quandeng stared at his student in a daze, as if he had only known him today, and could not say a word for a long time. He was really a fool who only knew how to play with women. He needed to enter the palace and was called a master. He wanted to have an attack, but he thought that this was the future king of Nanzhao that he wanted to support. If he annoyed him, it would be unfavorable.

Thinking of this, he held back his anger and said with a gentle tone: "Zhengjie, your biggest weakness is that you are too kind and easy to go to extremes. You looked down on Li Qing too much, but now you trust him too much, so he is exploited by him."

Although Zhao Quandeng had already spoken very tactfully and said stupidity as kindness, Yu Chengjie still felt it was extremely harsh. He retorted: "Where did he use me? He brought gold medals into the palace. I think he was also unintentional. He was about the same age as me, so what ability did he have? Why did the master always look down on me, but he was more majestic than others."

Seeing that Yu Chengjie was so unsupported, Zhao Quandeng could no longer help him and scolded: "Hmph! Unintentional act, do you know that the Tubo mission was killed by this person? Do you know that the situation set by your father in eastern Yunnan was broken by this person? If you have done such a big thing, wouldn't he know that bringing gold medals into the palace is to put a shackle on himself? Because they don't play with women, the methods are better than you. Chengjie, listen to me and send all those women away!"

Yu Chengjie's most interested in life was only women. He couldn't understand the first half of Zhao Quandeng's words and didn't want to hear them, but the last sentence offended his scattered scale, "I want him to send the woman away!" Yu Chengjie's face suddenly became cold, he glared at Zhao Quandeng with anger, shook his sleeves, and turned to the backyard.

Zhao Quandeng seemed to turn a blind eye to Chengjie's departure. He still stared at the roof in a daze, recalling what he said just now, yes! Li Qing should know that bringing a gold medal into the palace is a stupid thing, but why did he do that? For what purpose, he did not seem to be trying to help Yu Chengjie, but rather he was provoking the fight between the two brothers.

'play off!'

Zhao Quanden's mind was like lightning and fire, and his whole body trembled violently. He suddenly understood that robbing eastern Yunnan, killing the Tubo delegation, poisoning Piluoge, and internal strife in Nanzhao, connecting these scattered fragments was a complete conspiracy. The Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy Nanzhao!

"No! I'm going to find the eldest prince."

Zhao Quandeng shouted in panic. At this moment, he only thought of Yu Chengjie who could not be helped and Ge Luofeng, who was popular with the people. The national interests exceeded the party dispute. He strode to the door, got into a carriage, and ordered: "Go outside the city!" The carriage started and ran faster and faster, and soon disappeared into the night. Just as he left, a faint gray shadow floated by under the eaves of the door, like a ghost, and quietly placed a gold medal on the table in the living room.

Wu Yulin was knocked unconscious when he was flying over the high wall of the palace. I don’t know how long it took, but he slowly woke up, his headache was split, and his eyes were pitch black. He moved, but fortunately, his hands and feet were not tied, and he had no feeling of being punished. He was rescued when he was about to leave the palace. So where is this place?

He listened carefully and said that the surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of dripping water in the ticking sound was heard. The air was humid, as if it was in a cave.

Suddenly, Wu Yulin's stomach roared and was extremely hungry. He stood up with his hands on his back and reached out to touch the surroundings. He soon touched a cold and hard stone wall and a thin stone pillar. Oh! This is really a cave. Wu Yulin didn't know the depth of the cave and dared not walk around. He heard that some caves were hundreds of miles long, and when he entered from Erhai Lake, he arrived at Dianchi Lake.

At this time, a rumbling sound came from not far away, as if a huge rock was moving. Soon, a half-moon night color shot in faintly. Wu Yulin felt a fresh air rushing to his face, and the headache disappeared immediately. In the haze, a tall black shadow walked into the cave, the sound was low and magnetic, "Are you awake?"

With intuition, Wu Yulin knew that this person was the one who saved him from the palace. He hurriedly gave a long tribute and said, "Mr. Wu remembers his grace for saving his life. He will definitely give him a lot in the future."

The person coming was Wang Bingge. He hid Wu Yulin in a small cave halfway up the mountain and blocked the entrance with a huge rock. When he heard that he wanted to thank him, Wang Bingge laughed in silence and said, "There is a reward of 500 taels of gold outside to capture you!"

Wu Yulin was stunned, "Why?"

Wang Bing looked at him and said lightly: "Piluoge is dead, and there are notices that want you everywhere in the city."

"Is Piluo Pavilion dead?" Wu Yulin's pupils suddenly widened. He immediately understood that it must be the Imperial Doctor Luo who had changed his medicine to take him to Piluo Pavilion and wanted to steal his credit. He heard that Piluo Pavilion was dead, and suddenly he felt relieved. He suddenly remembered something again, "Ah!" and shouted. He originally planned to leave Nanzhao with the Tang Dynasty mission today. Will Li Qing leave without waiting for him? He was anxious, and regardless of who Wang Bingge was, he said anxiously: "Has the Tang Dynasty mission gone?"

Wang Bing looked at him for a long time without saying anything, and finally sighed: "You are too honest, how can you believe that Li Qing! In fact, he and Yu Chengjie's party have already colluded with each other, and in the end they want to kill you to silence you, you can't escape from the palace."

Wu Yulin looked at Wang Bingge in a daze, as if he had believed it, "But I didn't meet someone who wanted to kill me!"

Wang Bingge shook his head, pointed his finger at himself, and said with a wry smile: "Because I am the one who was sent to kill you, but I am definitely not the only one. There are also people in prison. If you are caught, you will still die!"

When Wu Yulin heard that Wang Bingge was a killer, he was so scared that he took two steps back and turned around to escape, but was caught by Wang Bingge, "I won't wait until now if I want to kill you! Don't worry, I will rescue you from Taihe City."

"Why? Why do you want to save me?" Wu Yulin was still worried and had to figure out his motivation to save him. At this moment, he no longer believed anyone.

Wang Bing looked at the entrance of the cave and sneered, as if he was saying to him, and as if he was talking to himself, "I just can't stand their despicable behavior. Why should I let innocent people die? If I repay their favor, I will go my own way."

He took out a few steamed buns from his arms, took out another blanket, and handed them to Wu Yulin, "You'll stay here, I'll take you out of the city after the third update tonight."

The big rock rumbled and blocked the hole again. Wu Yulin stared at the ground and the luminous light disappeared. Suddenly his nose became sore and his eye sockets became moist.

When the news of Piluoge's death reached Li Qing's ears, he was really proud and laughed. With Piluoge's death, Nanzhao would no longer be able to expand. In other words, history has been changed by itself, and the three wars between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao may not happen again.

But the soldiers' search surprised him a little. Could it be that Wu Yulin was not dead? Did the people from Zhao Quan Deng's sect fail? In his plan, whether Wu Yulin was silenced or arrested, Yu Chengjie's gold medal would be exposed. In this way, Yu Chengjie's crime of killing his father would inevitably be confirmed. Ge Luofeng naturally would not miss this opportunity. In order to protect himself, the internal strife between the two factions would inevitably break out. A little more extreme, a civil war in Nanzhao would form. At that time, even if he was accomplished, one link in between, and one link in the middle would make mistakes, the plan would be lost.

Of course, as long as Piluoge dies, the final decisive battle between the two factions will not be avoided. However, it will be easy to change in the middle for a long time. Especially Ge Luofeng is also a powerful character. He is now forced to breathe, but as long as he is freed up his hands, it is hard to say who will win to death. Besides, the people of Nanzhao are not fools. Once they see the conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty, they may not be willing to fight in the face of danger.

But Li Qing made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that Wang Bing would rescue Wu Yulin, which eventually made his gold medal plan fail. At this time, a violent sound came from outside the door, and Gao Zhandao stopped Wang Bing who was flying in.

“What’s the noise?”

Li Qing opened the door and asked in a deep voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Bingge with a chilled look on his face. He smiled and said, "It turns out that he is Brother Bingge. I haven't seen him for a long time. Please sit in the room!"

Under the dim moonlight, Wang Bingge smiled coldly and said loudly: "Li Qing, I only understand what you are thinking about Nanzhao today. My Wang Bingge is from Nanzhao and does not want to make friends with the enemies of Nanzhao. My Wang Bingge is clearly divided into grudges. I came here to tell you two things, one good and the other bad, destroy your plan, and return you a favor. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with you. If you meet on the battlefield one day, either you die or I live!"

Li Qing's face changed, and finally he said coldly: "What are the two things?"

"I saved Wu Yulin, and I also gave the gold medal to Yu Chengjie. I'm sorry, it ruined your plan to blame Yu Chengjie. This is a bad thing."

Li Qing raised his eyes and stared at him, "What about that good thing?"

"The good thing is that I inform you to leave Nanzhao immediately. If you are one day later, your life will be unsuccessful."

Li Qing was secretly shocked, but there was no expression on his face, "Why? You have to tell me a reason."

Wang Bing hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "That's the reason you have made friends with me, I remind you that the tricks you played against Nanzhao have been seen through by Zhao Quandeng. You should leave quickly! Don't let Yan'er become a widow."

After saying that, his body shaking, and a gray shadow quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. Li Qing slowly shook his head and sighed secretly: "Bingge, thank you, but you are too soft-hearted and really not suitable for playing politics. You should leave this circle as soon as possible!"

Gao Zhandao was unwilling to give in and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Li Qing, "Let him go. If he wants to leave, none of us can stop him!"
