Chapter 374 Interception outside the city

Peng Huizu leaked the secret to Zhao Tai, and Li Fen wanted to put him under house arrest and not let him return to Pizhou.

After Zhao Tai learned about it, he did not panic. Li Chunzhu, who was guarding Zhao Tai, was worried: "Commander, we have been monitored by Li Fen's people for a long time. How can we pass the news to the military advisor now? Moreover, we only have such a small number of troops.

If Li Fen wants to take action, it will be a knife for others and a fish for meat!"

Zhao Tai waved his hand, "I have my own way!"

After saying that, Zhao Tai left the yard and came to the back hall. After a while, a subordinate brought someone and saluted Zhao Tai, "Commander!"

The person who came here was dressed as a waiter in a restaurant. He was sent by the city's restaurants to deliver wine and meat to the Zhao family.

Zhao Tai wrote a note casually and commanded in a deep voice, "Take him out!"

From the moment Zhao Tai entered Jinan, someone had been watching him and monitoring his every move.

At present, there are many elaborate operations arranged by Li Fen in front of the Zhao Mansion. The purpose is to control Zhao Tai and prevent Zhao Tai from contacting the outside world. However, Zhao Tai has always maintained contact with Pizhou.

Because since the instigation of rebellion against Yang You, Jin Yiwei has been in Jinan and established an intelligence network.

Zhao Tai knew that Li Fen would not let him go easily. After deciding on the date of the wedding, he sent the news to the outside world. Now that he was sure that Li Fen was really going to take action, he summoned his subordinates again to pass the news on.

Zhao Tai held a grand banquet today, and all the food and wine in the palace were supplied by restaurants in the city. They came in and out through the back door. The guard dressed up as a waiter in the restaurant, received the note, bowed to Zhao Tai, and then turned and left.

Not long after, he followed the team that came to deliver wine and food to the mansion and left Zhao Tai's mansion.

Time passed and it was dusk.

After Zhao Tai entertained the guests, he immediately mounted his horse. Surrounded by guards, a group of drummers in front went to Li's house to pick up the guests, beating gongs and drums.

At this time, the Li Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and was packed with guests. The guests were having a feast in the courtyard, waiting for the wedding procession to arrive.

In the room, Yang Guiying had already put on a phoenix crown and bridal attire, and was sitting there letting the maid dress up carefully.

Yang Miaozhen looked at her with a little makeup on her face and couldn't help but smiled kindly and said: "My girl, with just a little dress up, she looks pretty and charming."

Yang Guiying couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "Auntie~"

"Now that you are married to a woman, you can't do what you used to do!" Yang Miaozhen patted the back of her hand and told her, "I think the country's auspiciousness is not a thing in the pond. You should be the eldest grandson."

Li Fen stood outside the door. When he heard this, he couldn't help but sneered and turned to leave.

At this time, there was faint sound of drum music outside the mansion, and a person hurried over and said, "Commander, the wedding team has arrived."

Li Fen smiled and said, "Go and inform the old lady!"

Zhao Tai rode a horse and arrived in front of the Li Mansion. The Li family set up several checkpoints for Zhao Tai according to local customs.

Zhao Tai gave him a reward, recited a poem, and hit the bull's-eye with his last arrow, which attracted cheers from the onlookers.

In the boudoir, Yang Miaozhen was even more satisfied when she heard that Zhao Tai passed the test easily, "Guorui is really good at both civil and military skills! Get ready and get married with the bride."

With Yang Miaozhen's support for this marriage, no one in Jinan City dared to embarrass Zhao Tai too much.

Zhao Tai successfully passed the checkpoint and was happily escorted to the central hall by the Li family. The bride also arrived behind a red cloth, and her handsome figure was vaguely visible.

At this time, someone stuffed Zhao Tai with a red goose tied in red cloth and motioned for him to throw it over.

Zhao Tai smiled slightly and gently threw the red goose over the curtain. Yang Guiying just caught it, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers.

At this time Li Fen shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the bride gets in the car!"

Yang Guiying suddenly shed tears. She knelt down and saluted Yang Miaozhen, "Auntie, I'm leaving!"

Yang Miaozhen felt a little sad in her heart, but she said with a kind smile on her face: "Go! You have found a good husband, and I can pay my respects to your father."

At this time, several maids helped Yang Guiying up, walked out of the lobby, and got on the carriage outside the door.

Zhao Tai rode on a horse, smiled and bowed his hands to everyone, then led the team all the way out of the city.

In a political marriage, both parties have no feelings, but this is the case for men and women nowadays.

Yang Miaozhen watched the team go away, and Li Fen still had important things to do, so he hurriedly urged his servants to help Yang Miaozhen in, and he went out through the back door and went directly to the barracks.

Not long after, Li Fen led a group of people and quietly left the city under the cover of night.



Li Fen left the mansion through the back door and hurried to the military camp. He led two thousand elite soldiers and quietly left the camp.

At the same time, in Dongping Mansion east of Jinan Mansion, Wang Wentong suddenly came to visit Wuxian.

Dongping Mansion was originally the territory of the Yan family of Shandong Shihou, but now it is occupied by Wuxian.

At this time, more than 10,000 armed guardsmen had already gathered in Dongping Prefecture. They camped here for many days on the grounds of training.

Outside the camp, a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and not long after, Wang Wentong, the left military advisor of the Commander-in-Chief of the Loyalty Army, was seen reining in his horse in front of the camp.

Wuxian was training his sergeants. After hearing the news, he immediately brought his subordinates to greet him.

"Military advisor! Why did you come here in person?" Wu Xian came over with a smile on his face.

Wang Wentong said: "I came here in person to ask for something."

Wu Xiandao: "If someone is useful, the military advisor can speak out."

Wang Wentong immediately said: "My lord is getting married to the Li family. I would like to ask Duke Wu to lead an army and cooperate with Zhongyi Town to welcome the bride!"

Wu Xian immediately knew what was going on, and immediately sneered: "Is it possible that Li Fen doesn't want to let the master go?"

Wang Wentong took out a note and handed it to Wu Xian for a look, "Li Fen wants to put the lord under house arrest, so he can order the three Qi!"

"He is just wishful thinking!" Wu Xian immediately expressed his stance after reading the note, "My lord is getting married, so I will do my part!"



Zhao Tai led the wedding team out of Jinan City and ran southward.

At this time, the team was ten miles out of the city, and there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind them.

Li Chunzhu hurriedly came to Zhao Tai and said urgently: "Commander, Li Fen is catching up with me! Commander, leave quickly. My brothers and I will cut off the rear!"

Zhao Tai looked back and saw a group of people chasing after him with torches.

The pursuers were so fast that Zhao Tai's wedding team could not speed up in the darkness. Zhao Tai could only wave his hand and said, "Protect the vehicle!"

The escorting soldiers quickly surrounded the convoy. Not long after, the pursuers came galloping over and surrounded the convoy.

Zhao Tai looked at the cavalry surrounding him with a sneer. Li Fen, surrounded by many cavalry, appeared in front of Zhao Tai.

Zhao Tai looked at Li Fen and asked, "Brother Li, what do you want to do?"

Li Fen said with a proud smile: "Brother, don't get me wrong. It's not easy for my mother to raise a big girl, so I think it's unethical for you to go back like this. Now I hope you stay and fulfill your filial piety in front of my mother."
