Chapter 99 Conspiracy
"Where!" Li Ren accompanied him with a smiling face and said, "I'm in the city, but big brother, as you know, the people in the city are also panicked and careless. I really don't have a few children, and I'm starving to death. Please allow me to join a group. Thank you, big brother!"
"Bang!" The begd turn his eyes and said, "Isn't it the same here? You squat all morning and get nothing. Just squat. It's right to be smart. This Huang Lao Temple is not a place to wait for leisure.
"Oh? According to the eldest brother, the emperor's holy driver will often come here?"
"Humph!" The Huazi snorted coldly, sat down beside Li Ren, crossed his legs, and put his hands in his sleeve. "Well, to be honest, I can't get along with it here. Let's move one day. Maybe it will be better!"
" Come on, it's the same everywhere inside and outside the capital now. It's better to squat here honestly, at least pick up some leftovers from the temple!" Another begling beside him interrupted that he was a particularly hoarse voice.
Li Ren smiled and then asked, "Brother, you haven't answered my words yet. Will the emperor come here often?"
"Is there any need to ask?" Hanako glanced at Li Ren again, "But it's a coincidence that the emperor will come at least once every six or seven days, but you will meet him!"
Then he turned his head and sneered at the hoarse voice, "You know how to pick up leftovers! Do you still want to have an affair with the old Taoist aunt by the way?
"Hey hey!" The rest of the people laughed again.
"No, let's call you a beggar, but no one dares to provoke you. Little brother, let me tell you, the leftovers of Huang Lao Temple are delicious. If you don't believe it, you can stay today, and the eldest brother will give you a bowl to taste?" The hoarse voice said to Li Ren. Li Ren saw him smile and showed two black front teeth.
"Thank you very much, thank you all!" Li Ren arched his hand and said, "I don't have a fixed place to squat. I often squat in one place today. I will squat in a place tomorrow. Thank you for enduring me for half a day. I am very grateful. I hope that next time I will come again, and you will enjoy the leftovers of the Huang Laomiao you mentioned, so that I can also see it. See how delicious it is, hehe!"
"What? Are you leaving?" Huazi beside Li Ren squint at him, "How can you call a flower like this? You don't have any patience at all. No wonder you have to starve and get cold!"
"No, no, to be honest, I have a little brother in the city. I'm sick and can't come out today. I'm worried that he is seriously ill, so I'm anxious to go back and have a look. Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Li Ren put his equipment, the broken bowl of begging, into his arms and was ready to lift his feet and leave.
There must be some secret in the Huang Lao Temple, which made Lang Dingyuan ask him here with a special meaning. However, it is too inconvenient to act in broad daylight. It is definitely impossible for him to gain something in full view of the public. Instead of spending boring time with those bets here, he might as well go to the Langfu area near Langfu. Maybe there will be some other gains?
When he came to the vicinity of Langfu, Li Ren saw that there was nothing abnormal around him, so he still waited for the opportunity in the place where he squatted the first day.
However, Lang Dingyuan didn't seem to be in the house. The door was closed, and even none of his servants came out. Li Ren was very puzzled. At one time, he doubted whether everything was just because of the two copper coins that caused him a misunderstanding, so that he crooked and bumped into Lou Xun. Because of the whole incident, Lang Dingyuan never did not He showed up and didn't say a word to him.
While thinking nonsense, Li Ren was patient and decided to wait until the evening, because he had to go out of the city again before the capital's curfew in order to explore the Huanglao Temple at night.
Lang Dingyuan did not appear all the time. Li Ren was helpless and walked slowly outside the city and turned to the Huanglao Temple too early. Li Ren was worried that he would meet those beglings who had not left, so he had to find a place to wander until the middle of the night. Under the hunger, he felt particularly cold at night. Li Ren tightened his thin clothes and thought that it would be winter soon. He had to buy a few coats for Zhen Mei. Before her body showed, she had to store more food and firewood.
Deep and shallow, Li Ren stepped on the night fog and came to the Huang Lao Temple in the dark. In the hidden place, he saw that the other room had been lit up, and the lights in the big temple were bright, and there was no half a figure, and he didn't know where the female Tao was.
Li Ren waited for a while, and finally couldn't help it. He decided to sneak up close to the other room to find out, but as soon as he raised his body, he heard a slight sound of breaking the air hitting him. His perennial martial arts practice and a short military career made Li Ren special to this sound of breaking the sky. He jumped back quickly. It can be avoided. Something flew past him, hit the trunk of the cypress tree on his left, and then fell to the ground. Li Ren didn't have time to tell what it was. He hurriedly shouted vigilantly in the direction of the object, "Who?"
A figure turned from the cypress trees several feet away from each other and stood with his hands behind his back, "I!"
In the dark, Li Ren can't see the faces of the people coming clearly, but if the other party can potentially attack him nearby and attack him, he must also be a person with strong martial arts skills. He couldn't help saying angrily, "Why sneak attack?"
"I didn't sneak attack!" The person came replied that the voice should be a middle-aged man. Li Ren felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"I'm just reminding you not to act rashly. Let's go. There is no need to watch here. It's not good to startle the snake!" The person who came continued.
"Do you know what I want to see?" Li Ren didn't know whether the other party was still cheating, so he secretly carried his internal force and was ready to respond.
"I reminded you to come to this place. Don't you know what you want to see?"
Li Ren slowly loosened his fists, "Lang Dingyuan, General Lang?"
"Let's go. This is not the place to talk. Come with me!" The other party did not say anything, but replied faintly.
Li Ren looked at it. Seeing that figure, he did look like Lang Dingyuan. He said, "Where are you taking me?"
"Just keep up!" After saying that, the shadow got up and left. Li Ren had to quickly follow the shadow.
The two left about half a miles away from Huang Lao Temple and came to a barren slope. The shadow stood down. When Li Ren came to him, he said, "Why do you want to find me, General? What's the general's the intention to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Li Ren gathered the dark shadow. At this time, he had the opportunity to see the other party's face through the faint skylight. It was indeed Lang Dingyuan. "I should ask General Lang about this. What is the intention of General Lang to lead me to Huang Lao Temple?"
"Humph!" Lang Dingyuan snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "The Li family has fallen, and you have become a begler. Are you still so arrogant and unruly? It's true that the prince of the Hou family lacks rules and is a dboy!"
Li Ren's face was red. Fortunately, the night covered his embarrassment. Otherwise, he really couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground. "The Li family is in trouble, so what? I'm just a stopgap in wandering around. General Lang, Li Ren did have a lot of playboy habits in the past, such as Today, Li Ren did not deliberately put on airs in front of the general, but went through risks. Li Ren had to be careful in a crisis. The so-called harm must not be in the heart of preventing others. Isn't General Lang the same? Otherwise, he would not have met Li Ren in such a big circle.
Lang Dingyuan snorted coldly again, "I am a good general, young master Li. I may as well tell you today that I never have a good impression on the Li family. The reason why I am willing to see you is just because your current situation may be exactly what Lang needs, unless you don't want to avenge the Li family and don't want to recover. The scenery of the past."
Li Ren endured. It was not the first time that Lang Dingyuan's attitude angered him, but revenge was more important. How many humiliations he couldn't stand in the past. Now he has put up with it. Why does he care about a Lang Dingyuan? General Lang is right. My current situation makes me have no choice but to restore the past glory of the Li family. The world has changed, and the family has been destroyed. What's the point of recovery? Li Ren doesn't ask for anything else, but only wants to end up Lou Xun's life and avenge his father and mother, but has no regrets death!"
"What a good one, but there is no regrets!" Lang Dingyuan looked at Li Ren seriously for the first time, "This sentence is still a little manly. I look down on you!"
"General Lang is arrogant and has always looked down on our Li family. Li Ren knows it, but his father treats General Lang differently. Even if something happens, he still leaves a letter for Li Ren and asks Li Ren to ask General Lang for help!" Li Ren said lightly, "What does the general think of the Li family as a general? Li Ren has no power to force people, but at least his father has always respected the general. Even if the general is dissatisfied, he will only target Li Ren. I hope you don't belittle the rest of the Li family again."
Lang Dingyuan looked at Li Ren and was silent for a long time without saying anything.
After a long time, Lang Dingyuan said leisurely, "Don't you want to get a glimpse of the secret of the Huang Lao Temple? I will tell you, there is a woman rescued by Lou Xun from the palace in the Huang Lao Temple. This woman was once named the beauty of the little emperor. It is said that she has helped Lou Xun a lot, that is, to confess that the eldest grandson Taishi collusion with Lord Wu. Wang's secret made Changsun's family be destroyed by the court.
Li Ren was stunned and said in surprise, "What General Lang said is cool?"
"Well, you are the son of Li Hou. You should be more familiar with the situation in the palace than the general. I don't comment on what this cool did, but since Lou Xun valued her, he came to visit Huang Lao Temple from time to time to time. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for you!"
"I see. Do you want me to assassinate Lou Xun in Huang Lao Temple?" Li Ren closed his eyes and sighed, "But I'm alone alone alone assassinated, it's difficult to connect with Lou Xun, otherwise I would have done it in the daytime!"
"Fortunately you didn't do it!" Lang Dingyuan said coldly, "I just let you go to the Huang Lao Temple to see it, but I didn't say let you do it. Lou Xun is extremely cunning, and there is never a shortage of dead men around him. Oh, by the way, now many of his former dead men have been arranged into the palace guard. It's not so simple to assassinate him!"
"General Lang means...?" Li Ren asked doubtfully.
"It is difficult to do it in the first palace, and the guard is surrounded by strict masters. Neither you nor the general have a chance to win, so the most likely place to solve Lou Xun can only be outside the palace, and Lou Xun now cherishes his life. He shrinks in the palace all day long, and the only place to go out of the palace is Huang Lao Temple. If If you want to make an idea, it's only Huang Laomiao. As for how to act, I'm afraid you and I have to cooperate and borrow the general's Hu Ben camp." Lang Dingyuan sighed, "As long as you are willing, I will tell you the detailed plan and action time when the time comes."
This time it was Li Ren's turn to be silent for a moment before saying, "Forgive Li Ren's presumption, General Lang's move must not be for my Li family!"
"As long as you understand!" Lang Dingyuan still has a calm and thin tone, "You and I have never been in the same way, but this time the starting point is different and the goal is the same. As long as we can achieve each other's goal, what do you think? After everything is done, you don't have to thank each other. You still take your Yangguan Road and I'll cross my single-plank bridge.
"I agree!" Li Ren was very satisfied with Lang Dingyuan's frankness and replied firmly, "I only want Lou Xun's head. For the rest, even if you take me as a victim, I will never complain!"
"Good!" Lang Dingyuan nodded with the same satisfaction, "That's what I want!"
"It's a deal!" Li Ren stretched out his palm and said, "Hive to swear!"
Lang Dingyuan glanced at him faintly and said coldly, "I won't give you high-fives. I promise, and what I said is an oath!"
"Your sketch is good!" Huan Ying picked up Zhao Geng's picture, looked at it for a moment, and said a pun, "Have you drawn a picture before?"
"Yes, before the villain was about of Bei Rong, he also worked for others and did some carpenter work, so he could draw some simple sketches!" Zhao Geng nodded and bowed.
"It's made up without dripping!" Huan Ying scolded in his heart, but handed the sketch to Lu Zis Song on his face, "General Lu, do you also take a look? Do you think Zhao Geng's plan is feasible?"
Lu Zisang glanced at Zhao Geng and deliberately said, "A lonely army is a taboo to lighten the enemy. Zhao Geng, you don't know the military. I won't blame you, but you can't give the military commander some difficult ideas in order to stay in the camp!"
"No, no, the villain dares, the villain dares!" Zhao Geng waved his hand repeatedly, "The villain just reported to the truth. Nowadays, Bihan's tribe has almost no combat effectiveness. If you don't take this opportunity to catch Bihan alive, how can the military commander know where Wang Ting is?"
"That's true!" Lu Zisang frowned and looked at the picture, "Catch a Bihan, maybe you can defeat thousands of troops and horses!"
Zhao Geng smiled proudly, "When is the military master going to attack? The faster the villain's point of view, the better. When they readjust and deploy, we will miss a good opportunity!"
"Don't worry!" Huanxuan said lightly, "I won't let you down!"
"That's good, that's good. There's nothing else. The villain retreats first and waits for the good news from the two military masters!" A touch of cunning flashed in Zhao Geng's eyes. He bowed down and withdrew from the lingering military tent, and the armor staring at Zhao Geng immediately pulled him, "Let's go, the military commanders still have something to discuss!"
"What do you think?" Lu Zisang put the sketch on the table for two people.
"Here!" Huanxuan pointed to a river valley between the two armies of Ruba and Klaar on the sketch. "If this valley does exist and the geographical location is not much different from the sketch, maybe we can make good use of it!"
"Ochin Valley?" Lu Zisang said, "Didn't Zhao Geng say that this is an important water source for various tribes? Many tributaries are diverted from here."
"Yes, the terrain in this area is long and narrow. There are dozens of hillsides along the river valley, and there are also large poplar forests. It is the most appropriate place to annihilate the enemy here."
"What Mrs. Shadow means is to let our small cavalry lure the remnants of Ktar here to annihilate them?" Lu Zisang muttered, "But what if Luba's troops also set up an ambush here?"
"The terrain here..." Huan Ying said slowly, "It is suitable for large troops to ambush, but it may not have a strike effect on small cavalry, because the river valley is low, crossing the river or walking along the river, it is easy for a small cavalry to escape from the ambush circle, but most of the people and horses will be crowded when they are tracked. On the long river.
"It makes sense!" Lu Zisang silently said, "Madam wants to divide the team into two groups. First, for a small group of cavalry, she does not go directly to the tribe of Bihan, but goes around the Ochin Valley to detect the terrain. If there is really no ambush, they will send a signal to the people and horses behind, and the people and horses behind will dive into the Ochin Valley to set an ambush, so that it is Ruba has the possibility to send troops to attack our border gate, and it will also be blocked in the Ochin Valley.
"Yes!" Huanxuan sighed, "The army of King Wei is going to march south. I don't want to lead the war to Wei County. In that case, if the people can't get stability, trade, agriculture and animal husbandry will be seriously affected, and our military pay and taxes can't be guaranteed."
"Well, I agree with my wife on this. Wei County must ensure stability, because Wei County is not only our big rear, but also the big rear of King Wei. The key is the Ochin Valley, whether it is the only way to send troops to Luba." Lu Zisang said worriedly, "If this sketch is not accurate, then we will be all We all lose!"
"Zhao Geng mainly wants to lead us to the other side of Kadahar. Although we will also encounter a lot of diversions of the Ochin River, the Ochin Valley is not a necessary place to pass through, so I think if Zhao Geng wants to fake, he will do something about the tribal distribution of Kadare. If you want to deceive the enemy, will it all be fake? Words?" Huanwen asked.
"No, there must be true and false, false and real!"
"Yes!" Huan Ying agreed, "And look carefully at Zhao Geng's pictures. The lines of these and these places are smooth and stable, and the signs are also clear. The hills, plains and rivers are written one by one, and the other these, these," Huan Ying said as he pointed to the different positions on the picture. "When these ink fall, the lines are obviously sluggish. And the broken pen shows that Zhao Geng may have hesitated and uncertain. Maybe he is thinking about the moderation of his hands and feet?
"Madam looked so carefully!" Lu Zisang praised, "Most of the sluggish lines you mentioned appear in the area of Ktar."
