【Chapter 260】 Get into trouble
After pondering alone for a long time, Li Li got up and walked to the independent wooden building behind the big tent.
This newly built annex is the backyard where Li Li's family lives.
The annex was built in only half a month, and all of them were erected with logs, which was extremely simple. Luckily, it was early summer, and the weather was warm, so it was cool to live in a wooden house.
"The concubine has seen her husband." As soon as Li Li walked into the courtyard gate, he saw Ren Hongchang hurriedly greet him and bow down.
"Hongchang, your face is wrong, is there something urgent?" Reaching out to help Ren Hongchang up, Li Li naturally stopped her slender waist and said with a smile.
Ren Hongchang almost wanted to speak, but he turned his head to look around worriedly, and then pulled Li Li to the pavilion in the northwest corner.
"Hongchang, what do you have to avoid the maid to say?" Sitting down at the stone table in the gazebo, Li Li asked in surprise.
"Husband, look at this letter first, and you will understand everything." As Ren Hongchang spoke, he took out a roll of brocade silk from his cuff and handed it to Li Li.
Li Li spread out the brocade silk curiously, and suddenly frowned, his expression changed greatly, and then the expression on his face was very strange.
But seeing that dozens of words appeared on the brocade silk, it was like a woman's handwriting, the font was beautiful and beautiful, and the skills were good, which was quite everyone's style.
"Hongchang is like a meeting. Farewell to the New Year, it is like a rare meeting in another world. My sisters have known each other for more than ten years, sleeping and eating together, learning art in the attic, although not from the same mother, but better than compatriots. Now the thief is dead, I am trapped in the devil's cave, if my sister does not give up, I hope to help and save me. Be sure to! Wang Ying. ”
Looking at the rather delicate words on the brocade silk, Li Lijian's eyebrows were tightly locked, a gleam flashed in the tiger's eyes, and his face was full of strange expressions.
Just now, he also said to Li Xuan that Diao Chan was sheltered under Lu Bu's wings. It is not a wise choice, and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of other princes. Moreover, he also said that Diao Chan is a red face and a curse, and his fame is spread all over the world, and he will definitely become a plaything under the crotch of the princes. Unexpectedly, Diao Chan's letter for help arrived in his hands so quickly, almost comparable to the speed of the Wuwei Army scout's interrogation, and even this letter was passed to Ren Hongchang before the scout summoned Dong Zhuo.
That's amazing! How could Diao Chan know that Wu Weijun had not left Chang'an, and he could still hand over the distress letter to Ren Hongchang so quickly?
"Hongchang, when was this letter delivered, and who sent it?" Li Li frowned. asked in a low voice.
Ren Hongchang had been paying attention to Li Li's expression, and at this time, seeing that Li Li seemed to be displeased, he begged urgently: "Husband, concubine, please save your cousin!" She is now trapped in Yi Wu, dozens of miles away, if her husband is willing to send troops to rescue. I can save my cousin from danger in an hour. I beg you, husband! ”
After speaking. Ren Hongchang was teary-eyed. Holding Li Li's right arm with both hands, his beautiful face was full of sadness, and his graceful figure snuggled up to the man. It's really pitiful, and everyone who sees it is moved.
"I didn't say I wouldn't save her! Don't cry, Hongchang, I'll save your cousin. But tell me first. Who sent the letter and how it was delivered. Li Li saw Ren Hongchang's eyes full of tears, and his heart immediately softened, and the cold expression on his face instantly collapsed. Instead, he asked softly.
Indeed, there were Wuwei Army scouts and sentinels within a radius of dozens of miles from Gejiapo, and it was impossible for anyone to get close or sneak in. Under such careful protection, it is really incomprehensible that someone can avoid the scouts and hand over the letter to Ren Hongchang without Li Li knowing.
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the whereabouts of Wu Weijun's hiding in Gejiapo have been revealed, and they have already been mastered by people with intentions, and they come and go freely. If Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others knew Li Li's whereabouts, then the more than 30,000 troops under Li Li would be trapped in the mountains at any time and the whole army would be in danger of being annihilated.
Just when Li Li was secretly guessing in his heart, he saw Ren Hongchang's eyes flickering, and he whispered with shame: "Please forgive your husband." The concubine did not deliberately conceal this matter, but her cousin's personal maid Bi'er said that she could not tell her husband in advance about this matter when she sent a letter that day, otherwise her cousin's life would be difficult to protect. Therefore, the concubine did not dare to inform her husband of this matter in advance, and it was not until her flawless sister said that Dong Xiangguo was killed by Lu Bu just now, and the concubine hurriedly took her cousin's handwritten letter and begged her husband to rescue her. ”
"When did the letter arrive?" Li Li asked.
Ren Hongchang looked at Li Li as if he was not angry, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Early in the morning of the day we left Chang'an, Bi'er waited at the city gate to stop the car and hand it over to the concubine. At that time, Bi'er and Sister Cai Yan's former maid Xiaohuan came together, so the guards didn't stop them and let them go directly to our carriage. ”
"Oh, I see." Li Li's expression suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly realized.
Seeing that Li Li's expression was becoming more and more peaceful, Ren Hongchang asked softly in his heart, "Husband, do you blame yourself at all?" The concubine has been thinking about this matter in her heart for the past few days, and she is so frightened that she doesn't dare to be alone with her husband, for fear that her husband will ask. ”
"Hehehe!" Li Li stretched out his hand and hugged Ren Hongchang in his arms, and said with a smile: "Hongchang, I was still wondering why I didn't see you sneaking into my room for the night these days. It turns out that you were worried that you wouldn't be able to keep the secret, so you deliberately avoided me. ”
Ren Hongchang buried his head in Li Li's arms with a red face when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Isn't it!" The concubine is restless these days because of this incident, and when she usually talks with Sister Xin and them, she feels weird in her heart, like a thief, which is very uncomfortable. Husband, are you really willing to save your cousin? What should I do with Sister Wan'er? In case she found out, the concubine didn't know how to get along with her. ”
Li Li squinted his eyes slightly and said, "This matter can't be known to Wan'er." Your cousin is directly related to Dong Xiangguo's death, and it can even be said that she and her father Wang Yun have long discussed the Haode conspiracy. Once Wan'er knows about this, she will definitely not forgive your cousin, and she will even have a grudge with you because of it. So, I'll take care of the matter of saving your cousin, and you won't interfere in the future. It's best that you two sisters don't see each other in the near future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and cause trouble. When Wan'er gradually relaxes, when everything is settled, right and wrong grievances will naturally surface, and then she will no longer resent your cousin. ”
"I hope so. My father-in-law is really ruthless. actually used my cousin to do such a despicable thing, how will my cousin see people in the future! Ren Hongchang complained indignantly.
Li Li shook his head and said, "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk about it anymore." Hongchang, your cousin said that she is now in Yiwu, is the news accurate? How can you be sure that she is in the middle of the city at this time? ”
Ren Hongchang immediately said: "My cousin is thoughtful, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she has been smart since she was a child. She said that when Dong Zhuo had an accident, she would tie a red silk at the corner of the west wall of Yiwu, and she herself waited within a hundred steps of the red silk. The husband asked people to pay attention to it, if they didn't see the red silk on the city. That means that my cousin is not in Yiwu. ”
Hearing this, Li Li said with a deep look in his eyes: "It seems that your cousin is really not an ordinary woman!" After Dong Xiangguo's death, Yi Wu fell into the hands of Lu Bu sooner or later, and Chang'an City was dominated by Wang Yun, as long as she avoided the rebellion, she could be saved safely. But she turned to you for help. And this hand has been prepared for a long time, and there must be something strange in it. Intriguing! ”
Ren Hongchang was stunned when he heard this. Thinking about it, he said: "My cousin is quiet by nature, dignified and virtuous, but she is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she is very assertive. Thinking about this matter as a concubine, it must have been a dispute between her and her father-in-law, and she didn't want to listen to her father-in-law anymore. So she would rather let her concubine go and ask her husband to save her. He also didn't want to return to his father-in-law Wang Yun, and he didn't want to commit to Lu Bu. ”
"Hehehe!" Li Li said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Hongchang, just now I was still telling Yuan Zhong that your cousin is a red face and a disaster, after this experience." She must be known for her beauty. I never thought that now I was going to get into trouble and send someone to save her. I'm afraid this is retribution, I shouldn't talk about her in private, but I was retributed, and the disaster came to me Li Li! ”
After Ren Hongchang heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he said with a smile: "Husband, the concubine will be honest with you." My cousin's beauty is still above the concubine, which is not to say that she is more beautiful than me, but she is proficient in the six arts, comes from a famous family, and has an elegant temperament, and the concubine is not as good as her. This time the husband is a hero to save the beauty, maybe the cousin will fall in love with the husband, and then the husband may be able to kiss Fangze! Hee-hee-hee-hee??????"
"Stop, don't talk about the matter of a kiss! For my husband, I have a wife in my family, and I want to live for two more years, and your cousin is a disaster-level beauty, and I am afraid that my husband will not be able to bear it. You can save her for your husband, but you can only save her once for your sake, and then arrange a quiet place for her to live in the future, and you will be benevolent and righteous. Li Li shook his head and said urgently.
——————————————
Returning to the big tent of the Chinese army again, Li Li smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Although he simply agreed to Ren Hongchang's request just now, he expressed his willingness to save Wang Ying. In fact, he was extremely entangled in his heart, and he was even a little reluctant to do such a thankless thing. Going to Yi Wu to save people, this matter itself is not difficult, but it is a good thing for Li Li, at least you can explore the internal situation of Yi Wu in advance, which is good for attacking Yi Wu in the future, and it can be used. The crux of the matter is that the person to be rescued is Wang Ying, who is now Diao Chan.
Diao Chan, it is easy to save her, but there are endless troubles. Dong Zhuo's death was caused by her, Dong Wan must hate her to death, and if many generals of the Xiliang Army knew that Diao Chan was in his hands with Li Li in the future, what would they think, would they think that killing Dong Zhuo was a conspiracy secretly set up by his Li Li, intending to replace Dong Zhuo in charge of the Xiliang Army.
If someone really thinks so, and then stiffens, then Li Li will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River. Anyway, Diao Chan is in his hand, that is a human witness, just like yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, who can tell what is going on? Wouldn't he want to let someone detain the basin, say whatever he wants, or Diao Chan Weishenme in his hands, and he Weishenme will rescue the demon concubine who killed Dong Zhuo.
In short, Diao Chan can be in anyone's hands, but he can't let people know that he is in Li Li's hands. Because he led the army to stay in Chang'an this time, his plan was very big, almost equivalent to being in charge of the Xiliang army after Dong Zhuo's death.
Diao? To save, or not to save. Since Li Li has promised Ren Hongchang, he must be saved, but after being rescued, it is a hot potato. What a trouble! (To be continued)(To be continued......
