Chapter 347: Attack Cui's
Shocked for a long time, Li Hao said: "You have said what you should have said, and you have asked what you should ask, but now I will ask." ”
The two nodded in unison.
Li Hao looked at Chen Song and asked, "How long have you been following your master?" ”
Chen Song replied without hesitation: "Sixteen years, I left him three years ago, so the last three years are not counted." ”
Li Hao nodded and said, "Then you should know what his name is, right?" ”
Chen Song said helplessly when he heard this: "To be honest, I really don't know what his name is." ”
Li Hao was surprised when he heard this: "I have been with him for sixteen years, and you don't know what his name is?" ”
Lu Yun snorted coldly on the side: "Boy, do you still want to hide it for him?" He's a thief now! ”
"I want you to talk too much! Lu Wang Ba! Chen Song sneered, rolled his eyes at Lu Yun, turned his head to look at Li Hao, and explained, "All along, my senior brother and I have called him Master, and we have never asked him for his name, but I once saw him as a guest, and the guest called him Uncle Ge. ”
"Huh?" Li Hao's eyes suddenly increased sharply when he heard this, and he asked, "Someone calls him Uncle Shi?" What did that man look like and what was his name? ”
Chen Song said: "Master never let us get close, I just glanced at the side of the person from a distance, and I didn't see the face clearly, but it was a Taoist priest, because he was wearing Taoist clothes, and the master often wore Taoist clothes, as for what the person's name was, I don't know." ”
Li Hao thought for a while and asked, "How old is that person, you should always know this." ”
Chen Song thought about it carefully and replied, "The beard is quite long, it should be forty." ”
Li Hao asked puzzledly: "At the age of forty, you still call your master uncle?" How old is your master? ”
Chen Song shook his head: "I don't know, he didn't say it, I haven't seen his face, even if he meets me, he has been wearing a hat and covering his face with black veil, which is not real." ”
"So cautious!" Li Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, even the apprentice had never seen the appearance of this mysterious person, this was really mysterious enough, he was full of doubts in his heart now, the biggest doubt was that uncle, Li Hao guessed that the mysterious person was a member of the Guigu faction, according to his age, he should be the same generation as himself, after all, Zhiyuan Zhenren is so old, but now there is a forty-year-old Taoist priest who calls him uncle, this is not scientific, could it be that there are other hidden brothers who have not dug up?
Li Hao thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, and finally decided not to think about it, if he was free, he would go back to Nantuo Mountain to find Zhiyuan Zhenren and ask, he should know the news of all the disciples of the Guigu faction.
After asking, Li Hao asked Lu Yun and Chen Song to go back to the room to recuperate, after all, the two of them are his right-hand men, and a day of recovery can make him feel at ease as soon as possible, there is no master around him, and he is always unsteady in his heart.
Sent away Chen Song and Lu Yun, Li Hao came to the courtyard to start practicing boxing, it is still the same set of Peiyuan boxing method, these days, he only needs to practice boxing whenever he is free, he doesn't want to lose to the silver fox, and he doesn't want to lose to the mysterious man, the mysterious man's martial arts are so high, he is under a lot of pressure, so he wants to try his own martial arts to be a little higher, shorten the gap between the two sides, not to defeat the enemy, but to protect himself.
Two days later, Li Shimin's holy decree arrived, and it was two holy decrees together, Li Shimin's holy decree corresponded to Li Hao's recital, the last holy decree was to reply to Li Hao's first report on burning grain, this time the holy decree should be to reply to the rebel party to make a chaotic report, why there are two holy decrees, which makes Li Hao puzzled.
After receiving the holy decree, Li Hao finally understood that after his disappearance, Li Zhi sent a report to Li Shimin alone, and the third holy decree turned out to be sent by Li Shimin to Li Zhi.
The first thing that was read out was the holy decree to reply to the rebellion, which roughly meant that Li Hao was crowned as a loyal general, and led the troops to quell the rebellion.
The recipient of the third holy decree is Li Zhi, but he didn't expect to give Li Zhi a lecture at the beginning, of course, only two or three sentences, and the latter content is to tell Li Zhi that Li Ji has brought 10,000 elites to Dingzhou to help find Li Hao together, so that Li Zhi can rest assured for the time being, and first implement the holy will in accordance with the previous holy decree.
Li Hao didn't expect that he was so heavy in Li Shimin's heart, and he actually reprimanded his youngest son for his disappearance, Li Zhi is just an ignorant half-grown child, Li Hao is a general who turns his hands over for the clouds and covers his hands for the rain, he is missing, what can Li Zhi do, but Li Shimin reprimanded him, what does this mean, this shows that Li Shimin was in a very bad mood after hearing the news, and even wanted to scold, who to scold, just scold Li Zhi, who asked him to go with Li Hao to treat the disaster, son, what is it to scold a few words, Cheng Biting Jin still beats his son every day.
Holding the holy decree in his hand, Li Zhi smiled awkwardly at Li Hao and said, "I am so happy that I forgot to tell you that I have already reported the news of your disappearance to my father." ”
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then I disappeared and returned, did you report it?" ”
Li Zhi shook his head in embarrassment again and laughed dryly.
Li Hao was speechless, forget it, the holy decree he wants has arrived, plus the secret decree and Li Chengtian's confession, it is enough, next, it's time to dispatch.
Early the next morning, Li Hao walked out of this deep mountain with a huge team of more than 200,000 people, and then burned the rebel camp to the ground with a fire, and went to Dingzhou City.
Because there are more than 200,000 victims in the team, and they have to carry a lot of money, food and materials, so the speed is slower than the march, less than 200 miles of road, it took five days, five days later, arrived in Dingzhou, there were suddenly more than 200,000 people outside the city, which frightened Qin Miao, if only the victims came, Qin Miao would never be able to open the city gate, but Li Zhi and Li Hao were at the front of the team, he hurriedly opened the city gate, and personally led people out of the city to meet Li Zhi.
Li Zhi originally thought that Li Hao would immediately take out the holy decree and take down Qin Miao, who knew that Li Hao didn't move, and he didn't mean to take down Qin Miao at all, Li Zhi was in a hurry, and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, have you forgotten something?" ”
Li Hao said quietly: "Don't worry, it's not time yet." ”
Li Zhi didn't say much when he heard this, he didn't think he was smarter than Li Hao, since Li Hao said that it was not time, then there must be his plan, so he chose to stop.
Qin Miao welcomed Li Zhi into the city, Li Zhi still lived in the post house, and the victims were outside the city, but Li Zhi ordered a thousand Zuo Xiaowei to help the victims set up tents. At the same time, a letter was sent to Yizhou, asking Yizhou to send someone to receive the victims from Yizhou.
For the 7,000 army that escorted the disaster relief food, Li Hao did not plan to use them, after all, the rebellion has been quelled, there is no reason for them to share the credit, to deal with the Cui family, the biggest problem is evidence, not people, now that he has evidence in hand, what are he afraid of.
After Li Hao settled down in the post house, he and Li Zhi went to the Assassin's Mansion to find Qin Miao, took out his secret decree, and revealed his identity as the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, Qin Miao was immediately frightened, it turned out that Li Hao was actually a deposed envoy and had the right to act cheaply, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.
Then, Li Hao showed Li Shimin's first holy decree, directly took down Qin Miao, and then replaced the city guards of the four city gates with his own people, and strictly ordered the city to be closed for three days, except for Zuo Xiaowei, all people who want to enter and exit the city gate must have Li Hao's warrant, anyway, it is now the disaster control period, and the city gate is rarely opened, after all, there are a large number of disaster victims outside.
That night, Li Hao quietly went out of the city with Zuo Xiaowei and two hundred Xuanjia troops and went west, where the Cui family was.
It was just dawn, Cui Wentai was still sleeping, and was suddenly woken up by the sound of slamming the door, yes, it was the sound of slamming the door, not the knocking sound, he was very angry, in his Cui family, the etiquette was very strict, just the sitting posture and walking posture were very particular, let alone knocking on the door, and now someone actually "banged" the door, how could he not be angry.
Cui Wentai put on his clothes, got out of bed and walked to the door to open the door, only to see the housekeeper Cui Baoyi standing in front of the door, he was just about to scold, but Cui Baoyi was extremely frightened and said first: "Master, it's terrible, Li Hao led the troops to block our door!" ”
"What?" Cui Wentai was shocked when he heard this, then his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Go and inform the old lady, I'll wait for him in the front yard." ”
"Yes!" Cui Baoyi got up and left in a hurry.
Cui Wentai thought carefully while dressing, Li Hao actually led troops to offend their Cui family, what basis did he have, could he have found out that the Cui family was involved in the rebellion? What if you find out, as long as the Cui family denies it, Li Shimin can't do anything about them, their Cui family has considerable influence in the court, the business world and the scholar world, as long as Li Shimin dares to do something to their Cui family, the resistance and public opinion of the hundred officials can make Li Shimin breathless, not to mention that other gate valve families are still watching Li Shimin from the sidelines, Li Shimin's holy decree is impossible to pass, without the holy decree, Li Hao dares to do something to their Cui family? It is estimated that this kid came to make a mistake, and when he thought of this, Cui Wentai settled down a lot.
Cui Wentai just arrived in the front yard not long ago, his father Cui Chongzhi had already come over with the support of the housekeeper, Cui Wentai stepped forward to salute Cui Chongzhi, Cui Chongzhi waved his hand and said: "My son don't panic, Li Hao's son can't do anything to my Cui family, he can't set off a big storm." ”
"The child knows." Cui Wentai nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, the child will go out to send away Li Hao, who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”
"Don't rush!" Cui Chongzhi raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't open the door first, let's see how Li Hao responds, hmph, the old man wants to see how much courage Li Shimin has lent him." ”
Li Hao has been waiting outside the door for twenty minutes, Cui's door is still closed, Chen Bin stepped forward and knocked on the door loudly, still no one responded, Li Hao really has no patience, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes burst out coldly, and he said loudly: "Chen Bin, lead people to arrest all the Cui people around, whoever dares to resist, kill him!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Bin shouted the order, and with a group of Zuo Xiaowei, he was ready to arrest people, and those Cui clan's side members who were watching the excitement from a distance were all stunned.
At this moment, the gate of Cui's Mansion slowly opened, and Cui Wentai walked out with Cui Chongzhi in his arms, followed by many people, all of whom were members of Cui's direct family.
"I see who dares!" The old lady Cui Chongzhi stomped on his crutches and scolded loudly, his eyes widened, his gaze swept across the audience, and finally focused on Li Hao.
