Chapter 1244: The Law of Temptation
Li Yuan's eyes were blazing, his face was full of wrinkles and twists, and he said in a deep voice: "What way?" ”
Feng Lun gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said: "Tang Guogong should know that the Supreme has ordered me to accompany the Beji chief who came to take refuge, Tu Diji, to cross the boundary of the Khitan Yuling Department, go to the Beji region of Baishan and Heishui, and take the affairs attached to their tribe." ”
Li Yuan nodded: "I heard, the Supreme attaches great importance to this envoy, so he sent Feng Lang, who is known for his shrewdness and ability, what's the matter, this matter also has something to do with Wang Shichong?" ”
Feng Lun's eyebrows raised, and he said hatefully: "Exactly, it is this Wang Shichong who made a statement to His Majesty, saying that he was an envoy to Beji, and he must have asked me to go to Feng Lun, Tang Guogong, you also know how sinister Khitan and Beji are, under normal circumstances, they are all nine deaths, Wang Shichong must have arranged the killer early, waiting for me on the road, and after taking my life, you can also shift these blames to those Khitan and Beji people, and there is no way to even investigate." ”
Li Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "So the way you said to test Wang Shichong is to see if you will be assassinated?" If someone assassinates you, it must have been sent by Wang Shichong, right? ”
Feng Lun smiled slightly: "Tang Guogong Gao sees that if Wang Shichong dares to assassinate the imperial court officials, plus the grievances I told you about me and him, then this person must have ill intentions and want to get rid of me, a loyal minister, so that no one dares to track down his rebellion." ”
Li Yuan nodded: "In this way, it is reasonable, but since you are the envoy of Beji, you should also have elite soldiers as guards, Wang Shichong wants to assassinate you, it must not be so easy." And you came to me. What can I do for you? I can't say to the Supreme that you should cancel your trip. ”
Feng Lun gritted his teeth, and a cold and resolute look appeared in his eyes: "No, Tang Guogong, this time I just want you to see the true face of Wang Shichong, you are the supreme cousin." Loyal to the Great Sui for generations, even if I give away this life, I hope that Tang Guogong can inherit my will and continue to keep an eye on Wang Shichong, and don't let him harm the world! ”
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Feng Lang, your heart to serve the country with your fists is touching, I, Li Yuan, am the son of the Guanlong family. It has long been tied to the fate of the Great Sui, as a courtier, it is also necessary to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, I will not see you die in vain, I remember this kind of envoy, as a main envoy, you can bring fifty of your own family members to be guarded. Right. ”
Feng Lun suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and nodded and said, "Not bad." You can bring fifty people, this is recognized by the imperial court, and it will be issued to Yulu, but those guards of Feng, there are few people with strong martial arts, but I am afraid that even if I bring it. It's also useless, Wang Shichong's subordinates are all his merchant group guards, and they go south and north on weekdays, and they live a life of licking blood with a knife. Fierce and abnormal, just kill me alone, why bother to bother those family members. ”
Li Yuan laughed and waved his hand: "Don't worry about Feng Lang, your family is a generation of literati, and the family members recruited are also loyal and reliable. ”
"My nephews of the Li family, who have practiced martial arts for generations, not to mention how high their martial arts are, at least among the children of Guanlong, they can be regarded as having some status, and my sons have played well with the young children in the Guanlong area, these boys have followed me to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in Huaiyuan Town, and they can't go to the front line to fight and gain merit, so they have already had some complaints."
"This time, let them send an envoy with you in the name of your family, if there are no assassins, you should see the scenery of the northern country, if there is something, you can also let them move, with them, you don't have to worry about the danger of your life!"
Feng Lun's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Tang Guogong is really willing to send your son and nephew to help me?" ”
Li Yuan nodded: "There's nothing wrong with this, you and I are friends, I will send my son to bring some of his little brothers to envoy with you, and the Supreme will not object to this matter." Although there are only a few dozen people, these people have been skilled in bowing and horses since they were children, and they practice martial arts and cavalry every day, all of them are to prepare for war, ordinary thieves in the rivers and lakes, they are not a problem with one enemy and ten, if Wang Shichong sent that kind of assassins, I think they can deal with it, but it is really not good, they can also protect you to open a bloody road and rush out of danger! ”
Feng Lun stood up, stepped forward and grabbed Li Yuan's hand, and kept shaking: "Tang Guogong, you are really my life-saving benefactor, if Feng can return with his whole body this time, he will definitely not forget your great kindness!" ”
Li Yuan patted the back of Feng Lun's hand with a smile, turned his head to Chai Shao, who was still walking around outside the tent door, and said loudly: "Where is Sichang?" ”
As soon as the tent door was lifted, Chai Shao entered with his head raised and his knife on his shoulder, and hugged his fist at Li Yuan: "What does your father-in-law command?" ”
Li Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Sichang, you take the feud back, I still have some things to do here." After he finished speaking, he smiled at Feng Lun: "Feng Lang, you go back first, I will arrange it, and I will send someone to report to you tomorrow." ”
Feng Lun's face maintained a humble smile: "Then Feng Mou is waiting for your good news!" ”
Feng Lun's footsteps and Chai Shao's footsteps mixed together, and gradually disappeared from behind the tent, and the trademark smile on Li Yuan's face gradually faded and became gloomy.
A soft cough sounded, this voice actually came from the ground, Li Yuan sighed: "Xuan Zhen, you can come out." ”
A carpet was lifted, and a man in his early forties, with a thin and thin body, came out of a pit in the ground, rubbed his hands while patting the dust and snow all over his body, and said with a smile: "Shude, (Li Yuan's words), you said that you let Lao Pei hide in this snow pit for so long, how can I repay me?" ”
Li Yuan smiled slightly, moved the Hu bed that Feng Lun had sat on just now to the front of the pit, took a pot of spirits from a few cases, poured a large glass of it, and handed it to the middle-aged man who called himself Lao Pei: "Come, drink two sips to get rid of the cold, Feng Lun is also a very scheming person, there is nowhere to hide in my big tent, and I have to make this decision, who made you Xuanzhen my Li Yuan's number one think tank?" ”
This person known as Lao Pei, surnamed Pei Minglone, the word Xuanzhen, is the son of Guan Longzhong's family, resourceful, and Li Yuan is a classmate and friend when he was a teenager, and the current military department driving department is Cheng Lang (changed from the former Wang Shi played the position of a foreign officer), Li Yuan has been a stabbing for many years, this Pei Lin has been with him all the way as his staff, and was cited as a think tank, and Feng Lun's request to see, Li Yuan is naturally indispensable to Pei Lin to give advice, and his relationship with Li Yuan is roughly equivalent to the relationship between Wei Zheng and Wang Shichong!
