Chapter 247 Killing Ghosts
There is a small water pavilion on the side of the front yard. Geng Qing led Li Jiji, Fu Daozhao walked through the arch bridge, and when Yuer passed through the bridge hole, the three of them entered the pavilion with stone pillars and wooden beams.
A round table made of pear wood and four mahogany stools looked old when they moved in. It was a pity to throw it away. Geng Qing let a paint pass by. At this time, he could smell a scent of paint when he sat on it.
The maid brought tea and snacks to leave, and was taken down by the mansion's manager and the nearby servants, and replaced them with the guards of the royal palace and guarded the surroundings.
"Sir, let me know about Zhu Wen's affairs after Fu Defense Envoy came back." Li Jiji picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Geng Qing looked at Fu Daozhao, held the cup and blew the floating tea stems.
"This matter... is ruled first, and I should inform King Qi first, and then make an idea, but the matter is urgent and there is no need to delay it."
Thinking of this, Geng Qing sighed. After all, Fengxiang was still Li Jiji, and he would be unable to bear the other party's face.
Over there, Li Jiji put down his teacup.
He saw Geng Qing's face a little embarrassed, bowed and smiled, "Sir, for Longyou, how can Jiji not see it? Besides, even if it is a temporary plan, Jiji will not say anything. As long as Mr. comes back safely, he will be fine."
Fu Daozhao nodded in agreement.
He sat all the way from an unknown cavalry general to the Longyou defensive envoy, and he was able to say that he had risen to the top. Even he, a rude man, could see that all of them were thinking about Longyou, so how could he and Li Jiji?
Fu Daozhao followed and clasped his fists: "Sir, don't worry. When Daozhao came back, he explained to King Qi that he had just come here."
Damn, I'm afraid of misdirecting the message.
Geng Qing looked at him, smiled and expressed his gratitude, and would rather explain it in person. Immediately, he explained what he had said to the two brothers Zhao Zhouyi before in Fengxiang, and even more detailed, and analyzed the winding paths thoroughly.
"Although there are pastures in Longyou, the fertile land is sparsely populated and congenital inadequate. It can only be compensated by business channels. It is backed by Guiyi Army and trade with Shu. It can make up for financial resources. If the merchants have money, they will inevitably attract more people to settle down..."
".........I went to Chang'an and tried my best to ask for some government affairs that benefit Longyou from Zhu Wen. It would be a little difficult. This person could probably see the clues, but it doesn't matter. You are nominally dependent on this side. If there is a transfer order, you will use the nearby party to make trouble and refuse to leave..."
"The army also needs to practice, keep some in the city, and the rest move to nearby mountains. With the suspicion of Zhu Wen, it is to learn from Goujian and hide soldiers in the mountains!"
.........
The wind blew in the courtyard, and the lotus leaves floated in the pond. The fish were drilled out of the water and spit out bubbles. When someone came, they waved their tails into the lotus leaves and hid.
Qiao Niang led the maid who was familiar with the path and served the dishes. She walked through the corridor with warm wine, carefully protected the lanterns, and inserted them on the eaves outside the pavilion. She said with a gentle voice and asked the two maids to put the dishes and wine on it, and glanced at the husband who was talking.
Can you speak like this in front of King Qi...and the King Dongping...
I'm afraid there's only my husband.
It was so majestic. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth as she thought about it. She probably couldn't do it after coming out of the mountain village and walking to this day.
The wind blew the dark clouds from the sky, and the sky next to me was soaked in the darkness. The figure talking in the pavilion did not notice the woman peeked. She left, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat and put it in her mouth to chew it.
"......If you follow the established strategy, Longyou can do well without me. Geng will act as a hostage in Chang'an and take the right to be a condition of dependence."
He said this in a heavy tone. Zhu Wen was a suspicious person. If he was with him, he would inevitably be suspicious. After all, their relationship was not as true as he and Li Cunxiao.
It's just a verbal brother.
Thinking of this, he picked up the wine glass and King Qi, Fu Daozhao touched it lightly and drank the wine in one gulp. The latter two knew the potential danger of the word "hostage" and followed it silently to drink the wine.
In the third year of Guanghua, early summer.
Geng Qing, who is about to set off for Chang'an, has been locked up in the mansion in the past few days, and wrote down all the policies that were planned and suitable for Longyou in his mind. Everything is fine and can be said, and he has basically summarized them on paper. He handed them to Li Jiji. On the fifth day that day, the fast horse sent by Chang'an to urge him was waiting outside the city. Li Jiji led the horse out of the city gate and followed all the way behind.
"gentlemen."
Geng Qing walked silently behind the carriage on one side, quietly looking at the green grassland in the distance, winding rivers, and in the voice of the envoys urging there, he turned around, and Li Jiji also stopped and stood there with Fu Daozhao.
"King Qi, I can't keep mentioning points on both sides. Longyou can rely on you and the defensive envoy to support it. The paper before was full of what Geng learned, so I can take it for more. If you really don't understand, I can send someone to Chang'an to find me quietly."
Geng Qing looked at King Qi who had grown up, and arched his hands heavily, turned around the carriage where his mother was, stood on the carriage, turned around and looked at the two people who were holding their fists, and the ancient city wall behind him. He took a deep breath and ordered Dachun: "Let's go." He turned around and lifted the curtain and crawled in.
Morning light walks across the earth.
Li Jiji looked at the convoy away, let go of his hands clasped his fists and hung them down. He couldn't help but run forward a few steps, clasped his fists and bowed down again, and the sound was loud.
"Jiji, send me a gift!"
A loud and majestic voice echoed in the grassland under the morning light and in the official road. In the convoy that was far away, Geng Qing heard the words, lifted the curtain and looked, and sat back silently. When he arrived here, it was the only time he let go of his hands and feet to do things, but unfortunately it did not last too long.
The mother beside her probably understood her son's mood, and she stroked her warm palms over his back and accompanied Qiaoniang quietly.
From Longyou to Chang'an, the journey is hundreds of miles, and the downstream is unobstructed and like a mountain and watery journey. In fact, it is very fast. It is already mid-April when I arrived in Chang'an, and the weather has become hotter and hot.
It was almost time to pass the city gate, and the convoy had just arrived. While stopping by the roadside waiting for the soldiers guarding the city to check the vehicles, in Kaiyuan, vehicles were led by donkeys and horses slowly drove out. Geng Qing was talking to the generals guarding the city and showing the token.
From a distance, I saw the carriage coming from far away. From front of me, the carriage was covered with white cloth, and large pieces of blood were seeping out. The scarlet and thorny eyes were sharp, and the white cloth was almost high. While driving, I rushed to a small pit, and a hand was exposed in the shaking. The soldiers accompanying him hurriedly stuffed the hand back and continued to move forward.
"What happened in the city?"
Geng Qing watched the donkey carts go away and asked the general. The latter seemed unwilling to say more, but just returned the token to him and asked the convoy to enter the city quickly and not to get too much trouble on the way.
"Well, thank you for letting me know." Geng Qing nodded.
Soon, the convoy from afar slowly drove into the Kaiyuan Gate.
.........
The night gradually fell, and the bustling giant city was rarely deserted. It stood in the towering dark imperial city, with rich blood spreading, and the blood was being washed and washed away. In a side hall in the distance, candlelight stood on the desk table, and its strong body was lying on it. Zhu Wen licked the tip of the brush and excitedly wrote down the names of the murdered one by one.
