Chapter 402
At this time, it is definitely not a good thing to talk about when you are brave.
Xingzi exchanged a wink with Yuan Chao, and then said with a smile: "If the two brothers Yuan were not full of courage, why did they set fire to the West Horse Farm last night and even bring a big cannibal to him?"
Yuan Ying suddenly held the sword under his arms, but Yuan Chao held it down.
This is not the time to turn against each other. When the situation is turned against each other, the situation faced by their brothers will be very miserable.
"The fire we brothers did not release last night." Yuan Chao said in a deep voice: "What does Brother Xing mean?"
"This prince, his brother is Jingzhao Yin. What do you think we are?" Xing Zi said.
"Jingzhao Yin..." Yuan Chao and Yuan Ying looked at each other. For their brothers, this was an extremely big official.
"Even when we met Jingzhao Yin, we only had one sentence: We did not release the fire. This great cannibal was met halfway through. He claimed to be a great food merchant. We also thought he was suspicious, so we captured it and prepared to send it to the government." Yuan Chao made a quick decision. It is important to save his life now, so he didn't care about the rest.
"Cough cough" Khalid coughed, his eyes suddenly panicked.
"Bah, my surname is Xing. We only say that you are an unblocked hero in Chang'an City and the most prominent hero in the capital. So you came to you, but you wanted to sell us?" Yuan Ying was not angry and couldn't help but curse, "It's a pity that you didn't sell accurately. The fire in the horse farm was not what we set."
Xingzi's face changed, and his companions around him wanted to beat the Yuan brothers, but Wang Ying sneered, "That's the idiot who believes that when you get to your brother, even if you don't set fire, that's the same... dare to be arrogant in front of me?"
"That's right, who do you think Wang Jingzhao is?"
The soldiers of the Longwu Wanqin Army around them all helped. Originally, the Yuan brothers wanted to clear their crimes, but in front of Wang Weing and others, such methods were of no use at all.
Xing Zi spoke again, and he pretended to stop Wang Hui: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, these two brothers Yuan said that since they trust me and come to surrender to me, I can't hand them over to the government without distinguishing it... I have a question, so please ask the two brothers Yuan to answer."
Yuan Chao was much smarter than Yuan Ying. He heard the room in Xingzi's words and said immediately: "Brother Xing just talks, and he says everything."
"What are you doing with this big cannibal? Why don't you send it to the government directly?"
"This brother is indeed selfish. My brother learned that Ye Zhongcheng once said that wealth must be obtained from the sea, and he also knew Wang Qinian. He knew that he was seeking gold mountains. He thought that this great cannibal might be familiar with the seaway and could be used by me. If we could learn about the Dashi Seaway from him, and the products along the way, and with him as our guide, we could also go to the Dashi trade and make a fortune."
Xing Zi was stunned when he heard this. In his eyes, the Yuan brothers were just a rural bun from the ends of the world, but they never thought that these two people had such ambitions. The sea trade that the Yuan brothers mentioned should be just a euphemism. Their real thought was to seek favors from this great cannibal market.
Xing Zi was a little moved, but Wang Hui snorted over there, revealing a look of disdain.
He worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, helped his brother to plunder the people and welcome the emperor. He had a lot of money at hand, so he naturally looked down on such a small business. He gave Xingzi a wink and sneered: "This is a thousand miles of smoke and waves to seek wealth, and the vast ocean is so scared that he won't even see the wealth, so he will take his life first - Wang Yuanbao, the former richest man in Beijing, I wonder if you two have ever heard of it. He believed Ye Chang's lies and fallacies, and threw all his belongings to the sea, but they were all gone - and even the flowers were not seen."
After he said this, Yuan Chao's heart moved again, and he heard something from Wang Hui's tone.
The younger brother of Jingzhao Yin was very dissatisfied with Ye Chang and even hated him a little in his tone.
Then he thought that when he entered the city that day, he had heard that Ye Chang had interrupted the censor's son's leg. The censor seemed to be the Jingzhao Yin at the same time.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chao immediately showed annoyance: "What the prince said is that our brothers are fools. Why didn't you think of it before? Alas, stupid, stupid - it's all Ye Chang. If he hadn't deceived the world, why would we be like this, that guy would be a good guy, a cheap guy."
He scolded Ye Chang. At first, Wang Wein just listened, but later, Wang Wein nodded repeatedly and spoke from time to time.
This made Yuan Chao secretly relieved. It seemed that he could pass this level.
Since the two had a common "enemy" and Xingzi was talking about peace in the middle, they soon called each other brothers and brothers. At this time, Yuan Chao asked about today's affairs carefully. Wang Weing and Xingzi looked at each other, and then smiled and said, "Today's affairs are big or small. If Brother Yuan is willing to make friends with Wang and put some effort into Wang, you will bring this big cannibal back, and it will not be hindered."
"It's true?" Yuan Ying said happily.
"It's true, more real than real gold and silver." Wang Weing said with a smile.
The Yuan brothers looked at each other and knew that the key to the matter was coming. Whether they could get out depends on the conditions proposed by Wang Hui.
As Wang Hui, how could their brothers see it? I guess this matter will not be simple.
"Please give orders to you."
"It's very simple. My brother has an enemy, and he is also a person in the officialdom. My brother is not able to deal with it by himself. He must have a warrior and Brother Xing and others." Wang Ying said slowly: "The ending will be done by my brother. Just rest assured, just be the one who is just done."
The Yuan brothers had done something about murder and setting fire, but when Wang Ying said this, the two of them hesitated. Wang Ying's brother was in a high position and had made so many dragon martial heroes, and even he felt it was difficult to deal with. How could he be so easy to kill?
"Could it be... Ye Chang?" Yuan Ying's first thought of Ye Chang.
If it were Ye Chang, he would not be afraid, because they still regarded the soldiers of the Beijing camp in the West Horse Farm as Ye Chang's subordinates, and they only felt that the person was just like that. Although Ye Chang was famous and had high official positions and had soldiers in his hands, most of them were outside the border towns, and they were even more fearless.
"No, how could it be Ye Chang?" Wang Wein's face changed slightly. Assassination of Ye Chang was equivalent to dying. This was the conclusion he had drawn from Ye Chang's previous assassination incidents. Moreover, Shanzhi and his personal guards followed Ye Chang every day. It would be impossible to attack him.
"Then... could it be Yang Zhao?" After thinking about it, Yuan Chao guessed another person.
He saw some of the disagreement between Yang Zhao and the Wang brothers. It was not Ye Chang, but Yang Zhao was the most likely one.
"It's not true, Yang Zhao is very careful when he comes and goes. The person I want to control is just a general, and it's easy to do it." Wang Ying smiled and said, "I have such a relationship with the two brothers Yuan, so naturally I won't have any problems with you. You should just do it, just not."
Where can the Yuan brothers say or not do it? They have reached this point. If they don’t do it, they just don’t know how to live or die.
"If you dare to be a prince or a prince, you will be our brother's mortal enemy. As long as the prince gives you an order, we will inevitably cause trouble."
"Okay, okay." Wang Hui said with a smile.
Xingzi next to him also said, "Since that's the case, why do you two go to the inn? Just live here, so it's convenient for the prince to find it."
The Yuan brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Now, they can only do this and bow their heads for the time being.
Khalid was driven into the house at this time, but he could only vaguely hear the sound outside. He gritted his teeth in secret, only to regret that fate could not be independent.
I don’t know what I said outside. Wang Ying and the Yuan brothers, who were originally in opposition, talked about laughter and banquets, and it seemed that they had made friends for many years. Khalid was also released. Everyone thought he was really a big food merchant and asked him some big food things, especially the women over there. For a moment, the sound of traitors laughing all over the yard.
Wang Wein was so proud that he spent money to buy wine and meat. Xingzi invited more Longwu Wanqi soldiers. Everyone put on a mat in the yard. After drinking and eating, it became late, and the Yuan brothers returned to the side room.
But this time Khalid did not come with them, but was placed separately.
"Brother, what the surname Wang and Xing said seriously?" It was already late at night. When there was no movement outside, Yuan Ying asked in a low voice.
"What they said is of course true, but there are still untrue things. If that person is so easy to deal with, how can we work for our brothers? Moreover, I think that the Wang and Xing are not kind-hearted, or they have the idea of killing people and let our brothers bear the blame."
"If so, what should we do?"
"First, just slander, then act according to the opportunity... I can't escape at this time. I just saw that there were police wards in his yard. Moreover, in Chang'an City, they were looking for us to be convenient, but we wanted to hide, but it was difficult. I still had official duties and could not leave." Yuan Chao was also worried.
Speaking of which, they are not afraid of Ye Chang, but are afraid of city foxes and clubs like Xingzi. The reason is that they know that Ye Chang's status is too far away from him, so as long as they hide from Ye Chang, there will be no trouble, while Xingzi and others will come directly to cause trouble.
No one would care about the small abnormal movements in Jinchengfang here, and there was also a small abnormal movement in a house in Qinrenfang east of Chang'an City.
"Hahaha..." A man laughed: "Is Ye Chang really not reacting? Yang Zhao did such a thing, obviously because he offered a prisoner plan, and he didn't react at all?"
"It seems that there is no reaction now, but the people around Ye Chang are very careful. Although I bribed some of his servants, there is not much useful news. Maybe he has some revenge in secret, but we don't know." Liu Luogu said
"Ye Chang will definitely take revenge. He is not a broad-minded person."
"That's the case. The news has been reached on the Hot Spring Palace. I don't know what will happen on the Hot Spring Palace." Liu Luogu said to the man in front of him with a little respect.
The man's outfit is half Han and half Hu. He held a wine glass in his hand and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu, you will come to the capital before the New Year. At that time, I will report Mr. Liu's hard work to the Lord."
"A man with a certain grass mustard is appreciated by An Gong and granted full power. Today, how can you dare not do your best?" Liu Luogu said: "It's a grievance to the Major General. Ye Chang is in the capital these days, and the Major General has to stay in the mansion.
"Haha, I heard that the adults had a bad relationship with Ye Chang in the early years. When he started his business in Liaodong, the adults took some advantage from him. It is also a matter of being cautious about Liu Gong."
The one who spoke to Liu Luogu was An Qingzong, the son of An Lushan.
In recent years, Ye Chang's military power has become increasingly powerful, and his reputation for fighting has spread all over the world. While Li Longji appointed Ye Chang, he had to consider balance. In the court, he used Yang Zhao and others to balance Ye Chang's influence. On the frontier, he vigorously supported An Lushan, Fu Meng Lingcha, An Sishun, Geshuhan and other Hu generals to balance Ye Chang's power.
Therefore, although An Lushan's strength is not as strong as the original history, it cannot be underestimated. He now has 80,000 troops - this is still the war soldiers in the imperial court, and those dependent Hus are not included. Ye Chang's troops can directly and indirectly control only more than 60,000 troops, not as much as An Lushan.
In order to gain more trust from Li Longji and accept Liu Luogu's suggestion, An Lushan specially asked Li Longji for a mansion in Chang'an City and sent his son An Qingzong, who was nominally a guard in Chang'an, but in fact he acted as a hostage. Sure enough, this move made Li Longji very happy. Although An Lushan was defeated in Tianmenling two years ago, his subordinates suffered heavy casualties and were almost completely killed and injured. He was not only not pursued, but was promoted to the title. Li Longji even transferred elite troops from Longyou, Hedong and Shuofang to supplement An Lushan's losses.
"After the doctor returns to Beijing this time, it is best to meet someone before."
"who?"
"Ji Wen, the current Censor Central Chief."
"I remember this person...I have seen him, and his expression has always been gloomy. He doesn't look easy to deal with. Why do the adults want to see him?"
"This person has a cunning plan in his heart. If he helps Li Linfu, then Li Linfu will rise, and if he helps Yang Zhao, then Yang Zhao will rise. However, as far as I know, he intends to be the position of a censor, and Yang Zhao does not trust him very much, so he may not necessarily have to do with him. If the doctor is in love with this person, what he wants is not in front of him, but in the future."
"What you are talking about is... When will the emperor return to Beijing?"
"It will take 10 or 20 days later. Now there is a rut train, so it is convenient for the emperor's team to come back, so there is no need to be as anxious as before."
"Well... we must be ready to do it. We must move Abus to Youzhou this time." An Qingzong said: "The elite soldiers in his hands are just for the use of the Lord."
"The humble position is ready, and the joints in the court are basically opened. As long as there is no accident, Abus will definitely go to Youzhou to be the deputy of the doctor." Liu Luogu smiled sinisterly: "At that time, he only needs to be given a charge, and his tribe and elite soldiers will all be returned to the doctor."
The two of them discussed here and decided on the next thing. Liu Luogu left and went out, and just opened the door, feeling the wind swept in front of him, and the coldness was soaring. He raised his head in shock and saw that it was still sunny when he came to Anqing Sect, but after the two of them discussed secretly in the room, the weather turned sharply. Not only did it get completely dark, but snowflakes also floated.
The sound of singing at night came from a distance, faintly, as if it came from Pingkangfang. In the past, after the curfew, such noise was forbidden, but now the emperor is not here, so the management is naturally relaxed. Listening to the singing, a thought suddenly flashed through Liu Luogu's mind.
