Cui Geng breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, this is Xiao Wuniang. His own subordinates didn't dare to stop him when they saw that they were not clear with this woman. If it were someone else, it would never be possible to approach your living room so easily.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Little lady Xiao, Li Xiu has repeatedly wanted to kill this official. Do you think I might be able to let him go? ”

"Slave...... The slave can persuade Li Gongzi not to ...... in the future."

"Okay, okay, are you willing to persuade, is Li Xiuken willing to listen?" Cui Geng waved his hand impatiently and said, "This official has made up his mind, don't say more." Little lady Xiao, you should go back to Meizhou, choose another husband, and forget about Li Xiu, right? ”

"I ...... I ......" Xiao Wuniang knew that she couldn't do anything, sighed, and said, "It's always a husband and wife, so can you give the slave a few days and spend more time with the son?" ”

Seeing that she was so pitiful, Cui Geng's heart softened for a while, and said: "Alas, it's also a poor person, it's done, the official agreed, and I will give you ten days." ”

"Thank you, Master Cui!"

Cui Geng was well-intentioned, but he didn't expect that in the past ten days, the situation would suddenly change - on the seventh day, Li Xiu escaped from prison!

It's not that he's so good at martial arts, it's that someone bribed a jailer and handed him a dagger with sharpened iron into the prison.

In the end, the jailer who took bribes fled away from home, not knowing whether he would live or die. Li Xiu killed and wounded more than 20 people and fled.

Cui Geng originally suspected that Xiao Wuniang did it, but later a letter from the Li family in Longxi completely dispelled this doubt.

But it turned out that Li Xiu had not run the secret hall for so many years.

Since learning the news of the change of ownership of the secret hall, the forces loyal to Li Xiu are very nervous.

The secret hall is divided into four departments, namely: the War Department, the Spy Department, the Finance Department, and the Official Department. Li Xiu's henchmen in the war department were wiped out in this battle, and there was nothing abnormal.

However, after hearing the news of Li Xiu's arrest, some people from the spy department and the finance department secretly broke away from the secret hall and formed their own faction, calling themselves the "secret hall" to distinguish them from the "secret hall".

This time, it was the secret hall that took action and rescued Li Xiu.

When Cui Geng reported the news to his henchmen, almost everyone was indignant.

Song Genhai scolded and said, "How can this be reasonable? It just doesn't make sense! There is a broken connection between the secret hall and the dark hall, I don't believe it, can the secret hall have no news about the dark hall? If they don't report it in time, they are disloyal! My lord, you have to clean up this secret hall! ”

Of course, the official knows this truth. But ......" Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "It's easy to say, but it's difficult to do." The headquarters of the secret hall is in Luoyang, and the branches are all over the country, and it is impossible to take all the secret halls into their hands in three or five years. Not to mention ......"

"How?"

"Where do you think Li Xiu's next step will be?"

Feng Changqing groaned: "Now that the power of the Lord in Jiannan Dao is deep-rooted, Li Xiu's strength is not as good as before. Lend them the courage to take the initiative to trouble you again. I'm afraid he'll ...... Defect to the prime minister Li Dan again? ”

Song Genhai questioned: "How is that possible? This guy has betrayed Li Dan once, can people contain him again? ”

Cui Geng shook his head and said, "You can't say that. Yes, Li Xiu is a traitor, but he has strength in his hands. Hmph, I have to have a part of the spy department and the finance department, which can not only make Li Xiu no longer have the strength to rebel, but also make himself like a tiger, why don't you say Li Dan accepts it? ”

"So what do we do?"

If Li Dan is determined to protect Li Xiu, Cui Geng really has no good way, so he has to say: "Alas, unless this official takes the initiative to take refuge in King Xiang, otherwise, he can only act at the opportunity." ”

Song Genhai said: "Li Xiu, we don't have any good ways for the time being, that Xiao Wuniang...... If it weren't for her, Li Xiu would have died long ago. Do you want...... What about making a fuss about her? ”

Cui Geng thought about it carefully, this Xiao Wuniang said it seriously, and there was no mortal sin. As for threatening Li Xiu with her? If the means are too inferior, I'm afraid it's useless.

He shook his head and said, "No need, find someone to send her back to Meizhou, that's it." In addition, if someone is sent to monitor her strictly, there may be some unexpected gains. ”

……

……

is a little different from Cui Geng's imagination, but this time Li Xiu defected to Li Dan, the king of Linzi, but Li Longji, the king of Linzi!

Inside the palace of Linzi Wang.

Li Xiu knelt down in front of Li Longji, who was only sixteen years old, and said: "Li knows that he is guilty of a lot of crimes, and he can't argue with it. Please also ask the king of Linzi to keep one of my lives for the time being, and to redeem the merits! ”

Li Longji said a little strangely: "Even if you want to atone for your crimes, you have to go to your father, right?" I, the king of Linzi, have neither much wealth nor power, so I am worthy of your allegiance? Don't...... Do you think this king is young and easy to deceive? ”

"No, of course not, the villain defected to you from the bottom of his heart, a piece of sincerity!" Li Xiu kowtowed again and again and explained: "First, King Xiang's number one henchman is the current Tianguan squire Yao Yuanchong. This person doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and the villain throws himself into the king again, even if he reluctantly agrees, I'm afraid that in the future, he will eat up the strength of the idea under my hand. ”

Li Longji knew that Yao Yuanchong was powerful.

In fact, Yao Yuanchong is a person recognized by the court as the prime minister Li Dan. However, because of his extremely strong ability to do things, even so, it did not delay his promotion in the slightest. Now Yao Yuanchong is already a heavenly official from the third grade, and one day Wu Zetian will be able to worship as the prime minister immediately.

In terms of starting the heart, I'm afraid that ten Li Xiu is not his opponent. In the end, out of consideration for buying horse bones, Li Xiuxing may be quite good on the surface. But the idea in his hand will definitely not be able to be saved.

Li Longji nodded slowly and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Li Xiu said: "Also, Lord Wang, you have few great ambitions, and you are worth taking refuge in!" When your subordinates heard that when you were seven years old, a sacrifice was held in the court, and Wu Yizong, the general of Jinwu at that time, loudly reprimanded the attendants, and you immediately glared angrily and shouted: This is the court of my Li family, what are you doing?! How dare you reprimand my knight guards like this? "Then, he walked away, and even when the son of today knew about it, he looked at you differently."

These words scratched Li Longji's itch, and he said: "I didn't expect this little thing, but Li Gongzi heard about it." Alas, as a descendant of the Li family, he can't help Sheji, Xiao Wang is really ashamed! ”

Although he said that he was deeply ashamed, his face was like a flower, and no one could see where his "shame" came from.

Li Xiu took the opportunity to kowtow again and said, "The villain swears to the sky that he is willing to obey the prince and oppose Zhou Datang." If you violate this oath, you are willing to die with ten thousand arrows piercing your heart! ”

"Good!"

Li Longji stretched out his hand to pick Li Xiu up and said, "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, this king believes Li Gongzi this time." But...... If you want to reverse the Zhou and Tang Dynasty, you can't do it with the two of us alone, I don't know why Li Gongzi taught me? ”

"What is this...... Li Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, the sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of it." The anti-Zhou and Tang dynasties mainly depend on the current prince and the prime minister. As for us, we can just accumulate strength secretly. Now, it's up to you to recruit more talent. Like what...... The eunuch beside His Majesty...... Colliers! ”
