Chapter 0337 old hatred cooperation
After returning from Princess Taiping's mansion, Li Zhen's mentality has changed somewhat subtlely. Based on his long-term experience in dealing with Princess Taiping, he knew that Princess Taiping was a very skilled and ambitious woman. If there was no clear solution, she would not have found herself in the middle of the night.
Li Zhen's nervous heart relaxed a little. When he returned to the inner and outer offices, he immediately ordered the soldiers to find Zhao Qiuniang. At this time, the team had already gathered and had been waiting for a long time. Yang Honglie stepped forward and asked for instructions: "General, are we going to wait for a while before we set off?"
Li Zhen nodded, "The situation has changed, so I won't go to Yique County."
At this time, Zhao Qiuniang walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Why haven't the general set out yet?"
"I have a new idea!"
He asked Zhao Qiuniang in a low voice, "Is that person still in Baique Villa?"
Zhao Qiuniang understood and nodded slightly, "There is no news for the brother who monitored him, and it should be still there."
Li Zhen looked at the sky again. Just after the fifth day, it was the darkest time. He immediately said to Yang Honglie: "Go out of the city immediately and go west to Baique Villa!"
Hundreds of inner guards boarded their horses and rushed out of the gate of the official office, following Li Zhen toward the south city gate like lightning.
When Li Zhen led his men to Baique Villa, it was just dawn, but many farmers had already arrived in the millet fields early and began to harvest crops. Yao Qigong saw Li Zhen and a large group of cavalrymen from afar, hurriedly walked up, bowed and said, "Is General Li hunting?"
Everyone laughed and thought they were here to hunt, which was quite interesting. Li Zhen pointed to the war horse behind him and smiled, "Please ask the Qigong to take someone to lead our horses to the village."
"No problem!"
Yao Qigong waved and called a group of villagers. The soldiers dismounted and handed the horses to the villagers. They followed Li Zhen along the mountain road and ran quickly up the mountain.
As soon as we reached the top of the mountain, two inner guards who were monitoring the house came to greet us and reported: "General, they did not leave, they were all in the house!"
Li Zhen nodded and turned to Yang Honglie and said, "Let me surround this house, and no one is allowed to escape!"
Yang Honglie waved his hand and led dozens of soldiers to quickly occupy various exits of the house and surrounded the house. At this time, Li Zhen walked forward with fifty soldiers. Some soldiers had already stepped forward to smash the door. After a moment, the door opened and Wu Furong appeared at the door again with a group of warriors.
She was stunned when she saw Li Zhen standing outside the door with a large group of guards, and after a while, she said, "General Li, didn't you say you would give us ten days?"
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Miss Wu, the situation has changed temporarily. I want to meet the person you hid in the backyard."
Wu Furong's face suddenly changed, she pressed the hilt of the sword and stared at Li Zhen fiercely, "I don't understand what I mean, I didn't hide anyone!"
Li Zhen still said in a plain tone: "To be honest, the substitute in Guangzhou has been exposed. Last night, the emperor was furious and summoned Wu Sansi overnight."
Wu Furong was so scared that she took two steps back. The thing she was most worried about finally happened. She pointed at Li Zhen and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you here... are you here to arrest people?"
Li Zhen shook his head, "I'm not here to arrest people, but if Miss Wu doesn't cooperate, I have to be polite. Let me tell you the truth. I bring a hundred elite inner guards, and each one can fight five. Can Miss Wu escape this disaster?"
Wu Furong's face turned red and white, her eyes showed timidity, and she had to ask, "What the hell are you going to do?"
"I said that I don't want to arrest people today, I just want to talk to you."
Wu Furong looked at the large group of soldiers outside, and gritted her teeth and said, "At most, ten people can come in!"
"no problem!"
Li Zhen winked at a group of soldiers, and ten soldiers followed him into the mansion. This was the first time Li Zhen saw the mansion. He saw the mansion in the mansion, and the exquisite pavilions and towers were hidden among the green trees. Several mountain springs formed a stream, flowing through the mansion.
Li Zhen was amazed at the scenery here, "Not bad! The scenery is beautiful, I like it very much."
Wu Furong glared at him and suddenly remembered that this property was already his property. She couldn't help but feel sad. Her father always did wrong things, which brought endless disasters to her family. Now she can't even save her family business.
"General Li, what do you want to talk to me?" Wu Furong asked angrily when she walked into the lobby.
Li Zhen shook his head, "It's not that I'm talking to you, I want to talk to your father."
"What's there to talk about with him?"
Li Zhen took out a jade pendant and handed it to Wu Furong, "Please show your father this jade pendant. If he doesn't want to talk, then I will leave."/p>
Wu Furong hesitated to take the jade pendant and looked at it. She felt that the jade pendant looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a moment, so she nodded, "Wait for a moment!"
Wu Furong walked quickly towards the back house with her jade pendant. Soon after, she hurried back. The jade pendant was gone. She nodded to Li Zhen and said, "You follow me!"
The two walked towards the back house one by one, followed by Li Zhen’s ten subordinates. Soon, they came to the yard where Wu Chengsi was hiding. Wu Furong pushed open the door and walked in. Li Zhen also followed immediately. A half-bald middle-aged man was sitting at the small table and carefully looking at the jade pendant just now.
He looked up at Li Zhen, and Li Zhen recognized that this half-bald man had been demoted to Wu Chengsi who went to Guangzhou. Compared to the last time he saw him, he seemed to be a teenager, with loose skin on his face, swollen eyelids, and white hair. He was not as good as a middle-aged man in his forties.
Wu Chengsi glanced at Li Zhen, anger flashed in his eyes, then calmed down again, raised his jade pendant and asked, "This is Wu Sansi's family jade pendant, how could it be in your hands?"
Li Zhen smiled slightly, "Mr. Wu asked this way, it seems that it is not a way to treat guests!"
"you--"
Wu Chengsi suppressed his anger and waved his hand and said viciously: "Please sit down!"
Li Zhen sat down opposite him and looked at Wu Furong behind him again. Wu Furong sat down on the side without saying a word, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in her hand. She felt an incredible feeling in her heart. Li Zhen actually sat down face to face with her father. This situation was unimaginable a few months ago, but at this time she was extremely worried. Her father went north without authorization, and the emperor already knew about it. What should I do?
Wu Chengsi was very confused. The clan jade in his hand would not be given to others easily, let alone Wu Sansi. How could it be in Li Zhen's hands? He asked impatiently: "You can say it now! Why is this jade in your hands?"
"This is an agreement reached between Wu Sansi and I. This agreement is related to you. The jade pendant is the token he gave me."
"What agreement?" Wu Chengsi couldn't help but ask nervously when he heard that it was related to him.
Li Zhen looked at him and said, "Wu Sansi wants your head. As a condition, he will give me a night pearl. This is the condition he took the initiative to propose."
With a 'Crash!', the small table was overturned. Wu Chengsi stumbled and took a few steps back, pulled out his sword from the wall, pointed at Li Zhen and shouted: "You want to kill me, dream!"
Li Zhen was still motionless, and he sighed secretly in his heart. Everyone said that Wu Chengsi was as stupid as a pig, and Wu Sansi was as smart as a ghost. It seemed to be good at all now. If he wanted to kill him, what would he sit here and talk to him? He was so panicked.
Wu Furong reacted first, stepped forward and grabbed the sword from her father's hand, and said very dissatisfied: "Father, he is not here to kill you, listen to him."
Wu Chengsi's body had been hollowed out by the wine. He gasped for a few breaths and said, "What do you think you are going to do?"
"Mr. Wu is a little restless, please sit down!" Li Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile.
Wu Chengsi looked at him with suspicion, then slowly sat down again, Li Zhen smiled and said, "First of all, does Mr. Wu believe what I said?"
Wu Chengsi nodded slowly, gritted his teeth and said, "I know he is determined to get rid of me. I don't know how many times he has harmed me, and I will never let him go."
"Since Mr. Wu can treat each other honestly, I will tell the truth."
Li Zhen looked at Wu Chengsi and said sincerely: "I don't care about his night pearl. I didn't agree to him, but just said I would consider it."
"Are you here to negotiate terms with me?" Wu Chengsi suddenly understood what he meant.
Li Zhen nodded slowly, "I want to make a deal with Mr. Wu."
Wu Chengsi's mind was in chaos, his thoughts were chaotic, and he couldn't react at all, and he didn't know whether he should agree. He looked at his daughter as if he wanted help, but Wu Furong was very clear. She knew that since Li Zhen refused to agree to Wu Sansi's conditions, the conditions he wanted must be very harsh.
She lowered her head and thought, "Then what can General Li help us?"
"I can help your father get rid of this disaster of leaving Guangzhou without permission."
"Can you tell me in detail?"
"It's very simple. You will return to the ancestral land immediately and say that Ling Zun dreams of his deceased father crying, and then he misses his father and secretly comes back? His father is building a tomb, and then I will prove that your father is indeed building a tomb. I think the emperor will spare him this time because Ling Zun has a filial piety, and may let him stay in the Central Plains."
Li Zhen's words reached Wu Furong's heart. That's how she thought about it, but her father refused. She quickly asked again: "What are the conditions you want?"
“My conditions are very simple!”
Li Zhen looked at Wu Furong and slowly said, "I hope Wu Sansi will be dismissed, this one is the only one."
"But this one is not that easy to do." Wu Furong said in contemplation.
"It may be difficult for others, but you can do it, such as Wu Sansi's secrets that are ulterior motives..."
Li Zhen's eyes turned to Wu Chengsi again. Wu Chengsi had gradually entered a state of confusion. He remembered Wu Sansi's various harms to him.
When Mr. Ming encouraged himself to poison the Buddhist scriptures, but Mr. Ming was Wu Sansi's person. It was clearly Wu Sansi's instructor. He was exiled to Guangzhou. Isn't it Wu Sansi's push behind it? It was because he would compete with him for the position of prince, so he spared no effort to frame himself.
Thinking of this, Wu Chengsi's teeth creaked and without waiting for Wu Furong to answer, he immediately agreed to Li Zhen's condition, "Then we will make up for it!"
Li Zhen stood up and said goodbye, and soon led his army to leave Baique Villa. Wu Furong asked his father with some concern, "Does his father really plan to cooperate with him?"
"If it was to deal with others, I might consider it, but Wu Sansi, I will never let him go."
Wu Chengsi's eyes ejaculated with hatred and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I can't be the prince, he can't even think of becoming the prince!"
