557 Hongmen Feast
Without waiting for Zhai Rang to speak, Wang Ruxin said on the side: "Li Mi is ambitious, and he will not obediently give up the right to send troops, and I have no choice but to do it. ”
Xu Shiji glanced back at him, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, knowing that these two people had already eaten the scales, and no longer persuaded each other, and sighed: "Since the big boss has made up his mind, even if he fights for this life, I will definitely protect the big boss, after this matter, please allow me to resign and return to my hometown." ”
Zhai Rang's brows furrowed slightly, and Wang Ruxin on the side hurriedly glanced at him, and Zhai Rang finally held back the displeasure in his heart.
Wang Ruxin said with a smile: "If this matter is successful, we will not forget the merits of the world's achievements, let us swear by blood tonight, and we will kill Li Mi, the dog thief, until death!" ”
Several people cut their fingers one after another, dripped blood into the wine jug, made a vow to advance and retreat together, poured a glass each, and looked up.
……
Outside Xingyang City, Yu Wenhua's army is launching a new round of siege.
In order to show his trust in Li Mi and eliminate the dissatisfaction and chill caused by his subordinates' treatment of Li Mi, he adopted Li Mi's suggestion and no longer rashly attacked, but only tentatively resisted the remnants of the old Sui army on the city tower.
He also appointed two of Li Mi's cronies, Cheng Yanjin, as brave generals, leading 5,000 elite soldiers to be responsible for the defense of the east gate of Xingyang and pacify the generals in the Wagang army.
At the court meeting on this day, in front of the generals, he expressed no suspicion about what happened in the palace last time, and after the court meeting, he personally led Wang Ruxin and Xu Shiji to Li Mi's mansion, and only brought a few entourages to show his trust in Li Mi.
Li Mi pretended to be flattered and set up a feast in the mansion to entertain Zhai Rang and others.
……
Zhai Rang's carriage and horses will soon want Li Mi's mansion.
Li Mi was sitting in a secret room in the mansion at this time, and Wang Bodang, Chai Xiaohe, who was disguised as Zhen Mingku, and several other Li Mi's henchmen were sitting on both sides.
Li Mi frowned: "If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the single village is the third lady's person, this time I, Li Mi, am afraid that I will be planted in the hands of that Wang Ruxin, this plan is vicious, and only this person can think of it, if this person is not removed, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”
Wang Bodang said: "This time, Zhai let go of General Cheng, who is the best in Li Dangjia's side, is clearly determined to take our lives, and deliberately shows weakness, just to win the sympathy of others, framing him, on the territory of Li Mansion, he does not bring an entourage, he wants to tell others, even if he kills Li Dangjia, he is forced to fight back, even if he can't win sympathy, it will not be full of people's hearts, if it is not for the letter of the third lady to inform in advance, we are afraid that we don't even know how to carry it." ”
Others also scolded Wang Ruxin for being insidious.
Only Zhen Mingku remained silent, quietly listening to their discussion.
Li Mi turned his head to look at him, "General Zhen, things are as you expected, what should we do now?" ”
Zhen Mingku smiled slightly: "Isn't Li Dangjia already having a plan in his heart, why bother asking me again." ”
Li Mi hesitated a little: "But if I do it in the Li Mansion, the entire Wagang will scold me for designing and murdering and usurping the notorious position of the big boss, but I'm afraid that Wagang will also disperse from now on." ”
"There are gains and losses, and there is no such thing as the best of both worlds." Zhen Mingbitter said lightly.
Li Mi stared at him with sparkling eyes: "Is this what the third young lady wants to see?" She sneaked into Xingyang to sow discord among the Wagang Army, just for today! ”
Zhen Ming frowned: "Li Dangjia's words are biased, is there no third young lady, there will be no problems between you and Zhai Rang?" Zhai Rang is mediocre and incompetent, Li Dangjia is ambitious, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, the root of the bane has been planted since Li Dangjia you joined the Wagang Army, the fire is only a matter of time, the third miss is just at the right time, if the Wagang Army is a monolith, ten third ladies may not be able to separate half a point. ”
The others all glared at him when they heard this, although it was difficult to accept the gloating words of Zhen Mingku, but they also had to admit that what he said was the truth, but the truth was always ugly.
Zhen Mingku didn't care at all, and continued: "Li Dangjia actually doesn't have to worry too much, the military appearance can be reorganized, Wagang has returned to the two granaries of Luo Liyang, with Li Dangjia's talent and knowledge of people to make good use of it, why not worry about not making a comeback, Li Dangjia has time to complain about his allies at this time, it is better to make a decision early, let alone revive the Wagang army later, I am afraid that even my own life will not be saved." ”
Li Mi stared at him, an ally who was also an enemy and friend, with a complicated expression, and only turned his head to look at Wang Bodang for a long time, and also saw the helplessness and resentment in the other party's eyes, and sighed: "Wang Junshi, pass the order, let thirty sword and axe men and archers prepare, and take the cup as the number, success or failure, in this move." ”
Wang Bodang nodded, turned around and walked out of the secret room.
……
Zhai Rang's car soon arrived at the door of the Li Mansion.
Li Mi and others went out to greet them in person, Zhai Rang got out of the car, and more than a dozen people were polite and polite, and they entered the mansion with mutual courtesy, and sat on the feast.
The people who accompanied Zhai Rang included Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Wang Ruxin, Zhai Hong and others, all of whom were cronies who followed Zhai Rang when he got up.
Li Mi is surrounded by Wang Bodang, Zhen Mingku, Fang Yanzao, Cai Jiande, Li Mi is the master, and he is a well-deserved person in charge of the Wagang army, he should sit at the top, and Zhai Rang has never cared about anything in the seat.
Just as Li Mi was about to sit on the top seat, Wang Ruxin suddenly sneered: "Li Dangjia, the big boss came to your mansion sincerely, in order to show that he is not wary of you, I think that the big boss took you in regardless of everyone's opposition, you have today's glory and respect, you should drink water and think of the source, and the Thanksgiving Picture is, now the big boss has been appointed as the big mound and decided to reorganize the Wagang army, but you want to sit on this top, I'm afraid it can't be said?" ”
A trace of gloom flashed in Li Mi's eyes, and then disappeared, and he smiled: "What Wang Junshi said is, Brother Zhai, please take a seat." ”
Zhai Rang pretended to be humble, and reluctantly sat down, and the others also sat at their own tables, the dishes were sumptuous, the wine was mellow, everyone looked like they were separated, each with a ghost, and a meal was frightened, and the taste was completely lost.
Everyone said something wrong on the table, but secretly they were calm and ready to do it at any time.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Mi and Zhai Rang both toasted each other four or five glasses, and said heart-to-heart words, and the people on both sides all stared at their own goals, and they were vain.
