Chapter 2751 Good things come to your door
The lingering winter rain is the most erosive to one's heart. There is nothing more beautiful than having a beautiful woman in your arms and a brocade couch.
Early in the morning, King Li Tai of Wei was awakened by the sound of rain falling on the eaves outside the window. He hugged the soft and delicate body in his arms. It was the age of the dragon and the tiger. He was planning to get up in the morning to practice, but he was " Bang bang” was startled by a knock on the door.
His interest was gone, but his anger was rising.
Lifting the quilt, she didn't care that the delicate and delicate beauty murmured something like a complaint when she was hit by the cold and damp air. She put on a coat and went to the outside. She saw a wet guard coming in and announcing that Fang Jun had been with Xu last night. He was assassinated outside his manor, and now his life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown...
Li Tai was stunned for a moment and almost thought he had tinnitus.
Although they had long expected that the Guanlong nobles had the intention to assassinate Fang Jun, they had been careful and vigilant at all times since they came out of the border. Not only did they mobilize the elite troops of Youtun Guards, but they also had navy guards after arriving in Jiangnan, so they were absolutely foolproof.
Under such circumstances, if the Guanlong nobles still choose to assassinate, it will be like hitting an egg with a stone. Not only will they not be able to kill Fang Jun, but they will backhand the clue to Fang Jun.
So both Fang Jun and Li Tai relaxed their vigilance.
But the opportunity was seized by Guan Long and those old foxes...
Li Tai was in a state of confusion and was about to change his clothes and leave the city to go to Xu's Manor, but he heard the imperial guard say again: "Just now, the Navy Commander Su Dingfang sent someone to say that the Navy has dispatched thousands of elite troops to patrol the area around Xu's Manor. Blockade, in order to prevent thieves from lurking secretly, so I specifically told His Highness not to go there, just stay here, and the navy will handle it over there.”
Li Tai paused and slowly stopped untying his clothes.
Not only is he not an impulsive and reckless person, but he has always been very resourceful. Just now, he was impulsive and wanted to rush to the scene as soon as possible because caring leads to chaos. He and Fang Jun have become quite compatible in the past two years, and their friendship has grown day by day. He is not a simple uncle, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant.
This time it was him who pestered Fang Jun to accompany him south. Even though he knew that the Long nobles were secretly watching and could launch a fatal blow at any time, Fang Jun still did not reject him. This was a huge favor.
Therefore, how could he remain indifferent after hearing about Fang Jun's assassination?
Now that I have calmed down, I naturally understand that my past was of no help. If those thieves were crazy and took advantage of the chaos to attack me, things would be even more out of control.
Ever since he parted ways with the Guanlong nobles and withdrew from the battle for the throne, those old guys have long disliked him. If they accidentally kill him, causing the entire Jiangnan to turn upside down, and thus affecting the foundation of the crown prince, they will definitely not show mercy...
After washing, he sat in the hall with a gloomy expression. The wind and rain outside the window made him even more flustered, and he was always worried about Fang Jun's safety.
When the breakfast was served, I only had a few hasty bites and then put down my chopsticks.
The slender and beautiful beauty changed into a set of clothes, and her face was radiant after taking a bath. She came out of the back hall with a smile as sweet as a jar of honey: "Why did your highness get up so early? This wet and cold weather is the most unbearable. You Look, my hands are still cold until now..."
A jade-like Rouyi rested on the back of Li Tai's hand. Her soft and tender body leaned forward slightly, leaning against Li Tai's shoulder. It was as soft as boneless, and I felt pity for it.
However, Li Tai didn't have any charming thoughts. He raised his hand to shake off the Rouyi and said coldly: "Come here, send the girl back."
The beauty was suddenly stunned.
They were in love and had a great time last night, so why are they so cold and heartless when they wake up this morning? Fortunately, I tried my best last night and used everything I had learned in my life. I only knew how to please, but I still couldn't win the eyes of this noble man...
Although it is just a plaything sent by the Suzhou clan to warm the bed of His Highness the King of Wei, all things have pursuits. This opportunity has been given by God. If I can please the King of Wei from now on, and become the concubine in the Palace of the King of Wei, how can I Doesn't it fly up a branch and become a phoenix?
But I don’t want the falling flowers to be careless, and the flowing water to be ruthless...
Too lazy to pay attention to the bewildered beauty, Li Tairu sat on pins and needles and kept sending people to the Xu Manor to inquire about the situation.
It wasn't until the news came over there that Xu's manor had been captured by the navy, and that Fang Jun and the four princesses were safe, Li Tai breathed a long sigh of relief...
Soon, a guard came to report that it was Mu Yuanzuo, the governor of Suzhou, who wanted to see him.
Li Tai was confused. Fang Jun was assassinated in Suzhou. Regardless of whether Mu Yuanzuo knew about it or not, as a local official, he could not escape the blame. At this moment, he did not think about how to clean up the mess and recover the losses, but instead came to his side. do what?
Is it possible that he still expects me to intercede for him?
Although I was confused, I couldn’t help but see it.
……
Mu Yuanzuo stepped inside and saw Li Tai sitting in the first seat. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I am the governor of Suzhou and I have met His Highness the King of Wei."
Li Tai's face remained as usual, and he waved his hand and said: "In private situations, there is no need to be so polite. Governor Mu, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Mu Yuanzuo lifted up his robe and sat under Li Tai.
Li Tai raised his hand, motioning for him to drink tea, and asked: "Prince Mu left the mess at Xu's manor alone, but went to my king's side. What's the important matter?"
Mu Yuanzuo poured a cup of tea for Li Tai, and then poured a cup for himself. He placed it in front of him but did not drink it. He sat upright and explained in detail what happened at Xu's Manor.
Li Tai's heart twitched when he heard this. It wasn't until Fang Jun was safe and held Captain Yuwen hostage that he let out a fierce breath and cursed: "The thieves are so courageous. They are the Duke of the country, but they dare to do whatever they want." You are afraid of assassinating them. Do you really think that your father can’t destroy these nine clans?”
The noble man of Tianhuang was full of anger and had an awe-inspiring momentum.
Mu Yuanzuo was stunned and said hurriedly: "His Highness is angry, and it is natural. However, the current situation is delicate, and the overall situation should be put first. Therefore, the Duke of Yue ordered me to come to pay homage to His Highness, and reassure His Highness not to do anything inappropriate." ”
"Huh?"
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, but soon understood Fang Jun's intention.
At present, the top priority of the Tang Empire is the Eastern Expedition. Anyone and anything must make way for it. Anyone who hinders the Eastern Expedition, whether subjectively or unintentionally, will not only make His Majesty Li Er thunderous. The anger will cause tens of millions of money and food to be wasted out of thin air, and the loss is really too great.
So even though Fang Jun wanted to kill someone with his fiery temper, he had to suppress his anger and take the overall situation into consideration.
Li Tai said bitterly: "Is it possible to let it go like this? These Jiangnan nobles colluded with the bandits and were so audacious that they would die a hundred times to forgive their crimes!"
Mu Yuanzuo leaned forward slightly and whispered: "The head of the Shen family, Shen Lun, went to ask for an audience with the Duke of Yue. The Duke of Yue was angry and refused to see him. He asked his subordinates to bring him here and is waiting for an audience outside the door..."
Li Tai was stunned. The Shen family was the mastermind of the assassination, and Shen Wei was a direct descendant of the Shen family. No matter from which aspect, the Shen family had to peel off a layer of skin this time. Fang Jun should not receive him. , but why did Mu Yuanzuo be brought to him?
If I were like Fang Jun and wanted to operate on the Shen family, I would naturally not receive him.
But if you accept the interview, it will be equivalent to a conditional agreement to be open to the Shen family...
Li Tai understood what Fang Jun meant and sighed in his heart. This time he owed a lot of favors. It was obviously Fang Jun who almost lost his life in exchange for the opportunity to benefit himself...
But that's what favors are like. You owe me and I owe you. The closer the relationship is, in fact, it can no longer be cared about later. As long as there is always a sense of gratitude in your heart, that is enough.
"In that case, let him come in."
"Here."
Mu Yuanzuo asked someone to call Shen Lun. After a moment, Shen Lun, dressed in green clothes and plain robes, came in from outside. Without saying a word, he knelt down at Li Tai's feet and cried bitterly: "Your Highness, please show mercy." , save my Shen family!”
Li Tai drooped his eyelids, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, slowly savoring the sweetness of the tea, and let Shen Lun kneel there and cry.
Mu Yuanzuo's eyelids twitched, thinking that the King of Wei was a little damaged. Crying twice was just a gesture to express that he had surrendered and changed his past. You are silent. Are you crying or not?
I also admire Shen Lun, this is not just a howl, if you look carefully, the corners of your eyes are really moist.
It’s not easy...
After a long while, Li Taicai put down the tea cup in his hand, glanced at Shen Lun, and said calmly: "Mr. Shen cried so sadly and sincerely, but he suffered a huge injustice? I am the most upright and righteous man, and I love to fight against injustice. Come on. Come, tell me, how unjust you have been.”
Shen Lun: "..." (End of Chapter)
