Chapter 315 Move after the same situation
In the hut, in addition to Zeng Yanliang, He Lijing and Chang Hongkai, there is another person brought by He Lijing. This man was dressed in nocturnal clothes and covered with black veil on his face, which looked mysterious. Chang Hongkai looked at him twice, but said nothing. He brought Zeng Yanliang, a guard by himself, so he could not cross-examination the people brought by others. What's more, there are 200 elites outside the Mao house with his men. Chang Hongkai is very confident about this meeting.
He opened his mouth and said to He Lijing, "Lord He, are you all right?"
He Lijing lowered his head and didn't seem to hear Chang Hongkai's words. He asked in his hoarse voice, "Chang Hongkai, why did you besiege Wuming County?"
Chang Hongkai also lowered his head when he heard the words and said coldly, "Lord He's question is strange. Who am I working for? Can't you be clear?"
"You Changhongkai have been planning to do something for yourself for a long time." He Lijing slowly raised his head, stared at Chang Hongkai with a pair of blood-filled eyes, and whispered, "Do you really think that you have surrounded my Wuming County, and An Longyi's father and son can make peace with you?" Chang Hongkai, your daydream is really not interesting at all.
"Life and death, I have only one way. There is not even a choice." Chang Hongkai also stared at He Lijing angrily, "It happened to be you, Lord He, didn't it?"
After Chang Hongkai said this, he didn't expect He Lijing to sneer. Chang Hongkai clenched his fist fiercely and couldn't wait to immediately drag He Lijing and beat him. Chang Hongkai knew that since He Lijing took office as the county magistrate of Wuming County, he had been trying to climb to the upper level of the court. Unfortunately, he had no foundation in the court, so he had never been able to get what he wanted. He Lijing is a smart man. As soon as the Yucheng reservoir water incident occurred, he immediately defected to An Longyi. For this reason, he not only tried to help frame several Chinese officials who had a good relationship with him, but also helped An Longyi deal with many people who fled outside. Changhongkai was one of the people to be dealt with. If he hadn't obeyed An Longyi's intention to train in Fengquanling, he would have died under He Lijing.
"Lord He has also lost his backer now. How about it? Is it that your back is always cold?" Changhongkai said and laughed.
He Lijing restrained his smile and sighed, "Yes, I really don't have a backer now, but I have been an official for many years, and I don't rely on him, An Longyi. What's wrong with what I did just to protect myself? Chang Hongkai, it's better to care about yourself than to care about others now. You touch your neck to see if it's cool?"
Chang Hongkai frowned when he heard the words, and the two stared at each other like this. They haven't talked for a long time.
Zeng Yanliang looked at these two people and thought to himself that they were both guys who were applauded by An Longyi. No matter how they looked at it, they were half a catty and eight taels, and now they have to leave An Longyi. How similar the situation is. He Lijing sat in Wuming County, and Chang Hongkai was in charge of 100,000 elite soldiers, but these two people still couldn't shake An Longyi at all? It can only be said that the father and son of the An family are too calculating.
As time went by, Zeng Yanliang suddenly found that He Lijing and Chang Hongkai were completely silent and sat here face to face without talking about anything. What are the two of them doing? Zeng Yanliang thought for a moment and finally realized who they were waiting for.
Sure enough, the two waited in the hut for nearly two hours until the sun turned west before they heard the sound of carriages and horses in the distance.
Zeng Yanliang came to the window of the hut and looked out. He saw a simple carriage parked in front of the hut. The curtain was raised, and two men dressed as scholars came out of the car one after another. Zeng Yanliang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw their faces. He hurried out of the hut and came forward to salute them.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Leng, why did you two get here?" Zeng Yanliang was really surprised that he had been kidnapped, so he immediately thought that these two gentlemen might have met some murderers. Zeng Yanliang looked at the carriage warily and found that there was no one else but the owner of the car immediately.
At this time, Mr. Wu came over and patted Zeng Yanliang on the shoulder and smiled, "I knew you wouldn't die." Leng Chengqi also looked relieved and said, "Yan Liang, it's a long story. Let's talk about our personal affairs later."
When Zeng Yanliang saw these two gentlemen, he suddenly had a lot of confidence in his heart. But at the same time, he immediately found his position. No matter how things developed here, he must protect the safety of the two gentlemen.
The two gentlemen walked towards the hut, and Zeng Yanliang couldn't help but look at Mr. Wu Dou Yandong. He will not forget that the person who poisoned Leng Xuanrong was this Mr. Five, but now he has brought Leng Chengqi to this Longtan Tiger Cave, and he doesn't know what he plans to do. Zeng Yanliang doubled his vigilance and couldn't help thinking that he would take Mr. Leng to escape from here and return to the imperial city to pick up Xuanrong. The three of them would find a place that no one could find to live in seclusion.
After making this plan, Zeng Yanliang followed into the hut.
When he came in, several people in the hut had already sat around the table.
I saw Mr. Wu Dou Yandong sitting in the main seat. Although he was dusty, he was still very energetic. He looked at He Lijing and Chang Hongkai and asked, "Do you two know how the court should deal with this matter?"
He Lijing and Chang Hongkai were unexpectedly obedient, and both shook their heads, saying that they knew nothing. Wuming County of He Lijing was tightly surrounded, so no news could be obtained. There are not many ways for Chang Hongkai to get the news, and what he knows is only sporadic words.
Mr. Wu looked up at Zeng Yanliang and smiled, "Zeng Yanliang, you haven't been here for a long time. Come and tell them what the people in the imperial city say about them now."
Zeng Yanliang was stunned when he heard the words, and then said, "It is said that He Lijing and Uncle Chang colluded to plot a rebellion."
Chang Hongkai immediately frowned when he heard this. This was completely different from what he knew, and it was not until then that he began to doubt his source. He Lijing seemed to have expected this for a long time and had no response.
Dou Yandong nodded and continued, "Now you two are grasshoppers tied to a rope. As soon as the imperial army arrives, no one can escape."
Dou Yandong told the two of them in detail about the news that the court would send troops to attack here. He Lijing sighed and said, "Mr. Wu, I don't understand why you came here now. I, He Lijing, have now become the scapegoat of An Longyi. You can't see it with Mr. Wu's wisdom, can you? He An Longyi planned a strategy. I, He Lijing, made a mistake and lost the whole game. Is there any chance to turn over now?
Du Yandong whispered when he heard the words, "Lord He, what you said is wrong. You are indeed a mistake, but you can't lose the whole game. If you lose all the houses here, I'm afraid the court will lose all the houses. You know best how important Wuming County is. After An Longyi destroys you two, can he withdraw his soldiers and horses directly? Now he even controls the general's mansion, and it's only a matter of time.
Changhongkai heard Dou Yandong talk about the general's mansion and hurriedly said, "Mr. Five, I don't think the general's mansion will really be obedient to An Longyi. We now have a reputation for rebellion, so the general's mansion will send troops. Although the Chi family does not have a steward comparable to their ancestors now, they are loyal after all. It's impossible to do something that damages reputation."
"General Chang..." Dou Yandong asked Chang Hongkai helplessly, "I just want to ask you, if the court sends troops to attack you now, can Chang Hongkai and you He Lijing surrender immediately?"
Chang Hongkai immediately shook his head, "The court is full of An Longyi's minions, and surrender is equivalent to death."
"So..." Dou Yandong said quietly, "There must be a wound when the two tigers compete with each other. An Longyi is waiting for you three forces to fight together, and then he will reap the benefits of the fishermen. An Longyi's second son has secretly mobilized a large number of people, waiting for you to fight here until about the time, he will forcibly break through the pass of Wuming County and take the imperial city directly.
He Lijing has actually thought of what Dou Yandong said, but what can he do if he thinks of it? There is nothing he can do. He is now trapped in Wuming County. Maybe he will be killed by the hungry people before An Longyi's soldiers and horses come. Even if he remains in Wuming County after the soldiers and horses of the court and Changhongkai's battle, He Lijing has not enough soldiers and horses to defend the city, and there is no way out. No matter how you look at it, it's a desperate situation.
At this time, I heard Chang Hongkai ask in a low voice, "Mr. Wu and Mr. Leng came here specially. I think there must be a way to retreat from the enemy. I, Chang Hongkai, listened attentively."
Dou Yandong stood up with a smile and said with his hands behind his back, "Now the only way to break the situation laid by An Longyi is to turn you two into jade. As long as you two obey the court and obey the emperor, we have a way to bring down An Longyi."
He Lijing and Chang Hongkai heard Dou Yandong say this, and there was a layer of shadow on their faces. None of them believed what Dou Yandong said and brought down An Longyi? It's impossible.
At this time, Dou Yandong came and patted Leng Chengqi on the shoulder. Leng Chengqi understood, took out two stacks of paper from his arms and handed it to He Lijing and Chang Hongkai respectively. After that, he whispered, "You two must know that the watering of the imperial library is very involved. I am not only a cold relative, but also you two are involved in it. It was this incident that made An Longyi sit firmly in the position of prime minister, and this incident..." Leng Chengqi narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "It will also become a hard evidence to overthrow An Longyi."
