Chapter 186: Happy here, not thinking about the well
Under the leadership of Yi You, Li He wore a majestic cloak, rode a carriage, and headed towards the northern fortress in a swaggering manner.
There were no soldiers to stop him along the way. They all greeted him with smiles and bowed their heads.
Li He was in a cheerful and cloudless mood during the entire trip to Youzhou. The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that he couldn't let the smile appear so obviously on his face.
He will arrive at the northern fortress in a while, and then he will see the body of his imperial uncle with his own eyes.
He must have a good cry in front of the mighty king. It is best to cry heartbreakingly and let the world know how filial Li He is.
In this way, he can legitimately control the entire Youzhou.
Just thinking about it, Li He found it difficult.
No, you have to prepare your emotions carefully. If the emotions are not in place, it will not work if you laugh out loud when the time comes.
As a result, Li He spent a lot of time on the road talking about himself and the emperor's uncle, and found that in his memory it was the emperor's uncle who was teaching him a lesson, and he couldn't feel any sadness at all.
He simply changed his direction and thought about the touching dramas he had seen recently in the opera house, and a few tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Hmm! In perfect condition!
Maintaining a good mood, Li He finally arrived at the northern fortress, reaching the far north protected by the towering city walls.
There is no sound at this place, not even a bird chirping.
He looked around, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
Are there too few people around...?
Why are all the northern fortresses so empty?
But Li He immediately comforted himself.
We just fought such a big battle, and the soldiers were basically exhausted. It is normal that there are not many people in the northern fortress.
He walked along the main road with a smile on his face and arrived in front of Prince Wei's mansion.
Looking up, I saw white silk hanging outside the entire mansion, fluttering and whistling in the north wind.
It was extremely quiet in the palace of Prince Dawei. No one could be seen
Not even crying could be heard.
"What's going on? Aren't you crying today?"
Li He finally panicked.
You can still deceive yourself if you can't see anyone in the city, but you can't see anyone in this mansion...
That's a bit weird.
"Yi You, what's going on?"
Looking back, just as he was about to question Yi You, he found that the governor who had led him there was also missing.
Even the army that had been following behind him just now disappeared!
In just a blink of an eye, he was the only one left here!
No...no!
Li He's back felt cold, and cold sweat had penetrated his clothes, and even penetrated the heavy cloak.
Li He, who was full of joy just now, seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, full of fear.
"Who is causing trouble? Come out!"
He shouted sternly to encourage himself, and looked ferocious to embolden himself, but even so, his legs were already weak.
Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded next to Li He's ears:
"Nephew, aren't you here to see me?"
Li He's whole body He stiffened up and down, slowly turned his head and looked behind him.
I saw Li Jizheng standing behind me, staring at me.
"Ghost ah ah ah!"
Li He screamed in horror and wanted to run away in a panic. Suddenly his feet went soft and he fell to the ground with a thump.
He was in pain all over his body and was beaten to pieces. When he raised his head, he realized that he had entered the main hall of Prince Wei's mansion.
Looking around, there are majestic soldiers on both sides, holding cold-light weapons, wearing bright iron armor, and full of murderous intent.
Sitting in the main hall, Li Ji was making tea, and a Taoist priest sat next to him. The two of them were eating tea and looking at him.
The stove crackled, and the sound dispelled some of the fear in Li He's heart.
Looking around, he found that he was captured here alone, with neither his own men nor any soldiers.
He just swallowed and looked at Li Ji with a stiff smile:
"The Emperor...Uncle...this...is this the underworld?"
>Li Ji almost lost his grip when he took the tea and looked sideways at Zuo Chen:
"Taoist Master, what kind of dream did you set for this boy? Why did he say this as soon as he opened his eyes?"
"Actually, I don't know either," Zuo Chen shook his head: " Big dreams touch people's hearts, and when I dream, they should all be what I want."
Li Ji's expression suddenly became subtle when he heard Zuo Chen's words.
With a half-smile, he looked at Li He, who was shivering below and still confused about the situation:
“Since this kid saw me, he called me hell, which means he is here. I already dreamed that I was dead. Haha, the most anticipated dream.”
When Zuo Chen and Li Ji were talking, they didn't avoid Li He at all. Li He listened clearly from beginning to end.
His whole face sank more and more. When he heard the last part, he didn't know whether he was frightened now or because he was brewing emotions in his dream before.
I cried loudly:
"Uncle Emperor! I just heard that you were in trouble, so I came here with troops to help you! You must Believe me! I'm doing this all for the people of Youzhou!" He cried so hard that he didn't even need to act.
"Oh? From what you say, you are here to protect the people, so I have to praise you."
Li Ji stood up and walked slowly towards Li He.
He leaned close to Li He and looked down at his nephew.
Li He shrank his head, put his legs on the ground with his hands, and couldn't help but retreat back.
The pants underneath were even wet.
"Look at how scared you are." Li Ji sneered twice: "You are my nephew, and you are here for reinforcements. You have good intentions. I will definitely entertain you well."
Li He swallowed. He was drooling and didn't dare to answer the question.
"But nephew, haven't you been to Youzhou for a long time?"
"I...I have indeed not visited the emperor's uncle for a long time. I really shouldn't. I will I will definitely visit the Emperor's house frequently," Li He promised repeatedly.
"Don't do it anymore." Li Ji squatted down, with a kind smile on his face, stretched out his hand and pressed hard on Li He's shoulder:
"Xiao He, please stay in Youzhou for a while. This is a great place. It shouldn't be a problem for you to visit for ten or eight years."
How could Li He not hear what Li Ji meant?
For a vassal king like him, if he does not return to his territory for ten or eight years, what will happen to Jingzhou?
Instead of being a huge piece of cake, it all fell into Li Ji's hands?
But he didn’t seem to have any right to refuse.
I could only shed two lines of clear tears again:
"The emperor is right, Youzhou is big, the scenery is beautiful, I am happy here, don't miss the well."
...
< br>Li He was taken down by the soldiers.
"Although this boy is ambitious, he has never done any big bad things. It's just a poor choice of people." Li Ji looked at Li He being taken away and sighed: "What a pity."< br>
Zuo Chen didn't say anything.
Li Ji is a man who values love and righteousness. As long as he is not a vassal king who goes too far, he will indeed not kill anyone.
Of course, there is another reason not to kill Li He.
As long as Li He is alive, Li Ji can naturally take over the entire Jingzhou.
Once Li He died, the civil servants in Jingzhou had every reason to become independent. At that time, they would have to rely on cavalry to enter Jingzhou, which would waste time and easily hurt most of the civilians in Jingzhou, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
Li Ji walked as he spoke and came to the window of the mansion. He opened the curtain and looked outside.
Now they are in the fortress. There are many people tied up next to this huge city wall, and it is noisy and noisy.
Most of the imprisoned people are dressed as Jianghu people, including young and strong men, and some strange people.
There are young and beautiful girls, old men who look very old, and extremely weak scholars. Some of them are crying for their fathers and mothers, thinking Brother Bing has arrested the wrong person, and some of them are like Shuang. The beaten eggplant did not dare to show his face.
A civil servant who looked like a secretary wiped cow teardrops on his eyes, patted his eyelids twice with willow leaves, and then began to observe the tied people one by one.
Some of the tied charlatans were sent to the left and remained in the fortress, while others were sent to the right and thrown onto carriages to be transported to the northern fortress.
Zuo Chen looked at the Jianghu guests who were dragged away, and could see that they were covered in a faint evil aura. They should all be evildoers.
Right now, there is a shortage of manpower for development. It is estimated that these people may not be able to leave the Great North in their lifetime.
"Li He's group of subordinates is also quite interesting. I didn't know that he had recruited so many Jianghu people, and there were many famous heroes among them. If it weren't for Taoist priest, you would Damn it, these charlatans can really give me a headache for a while."
Li Ji pointed far away and pointed at the charlatans who were being questioned over there.
Zuo Chen followed Li Ji's finger and looked over there. He could see an old man leading four young men and two little girls. They were all tied up with their heads down, and their faces were ashen.
"Those people are from the Yan Xun Gang, and they are also well-known in the world. They punish rape and eliminate evil, and do a lot of good deeds. They are all heroes. Later, they were taken away by my nephew. It's the same thing. If it hadn't been for Taoist Master Da Wu, these knights would have been killed by my cavalry. It would be a pity."
Zuo Chen also nodded in agreement.
After all, when two factions are fighting, even if the other party was a good person before, it is impossible for him to hold back. Now he has been captured alive. If he explains it properly, he may not be able to get it into his account. Li Ji would naturally not hurt them.
"Well, I just hope that the capable people in the world can wholeheartedly deal with the sea of suffering and benefit the people. It would be a pity to lose it internally." Li Ji sighed.
"There will be a chance."
No longer talking about these things, Li Ji was busy dealing with the matter of taking over Jingzhou again.
Li He will be indispensable when the time comes.
Concentrate your thoughts and stop thinking about these things for the time being.
Nothing to do tonight, Zuo Chen stepped into the air, soared up, and came to the top of the city wall to blow the wind.
"Huh?"
Frowned.
There was heavy fog before, and Zuo Chen couldn’t see some of the Qixi lines clearly.
It was then discovered that there was a thick line under the fortress, leading directly to the north.
It seems...
It has something to do with the ball-shaped switch on the city wall!
Please give me a monthly ticket!
