The fifth day of October.
Li Shan decided to thank the guests behind closed doors. He decided to be a coward the day before yesterday and was summoned to the palace yesterday. At dusk, someone actually came to visit. It was Wen Yanbo's nephew Wen Bang. After all, they were old friends and he had done it before. It’s really hard to turn away my bestie.
This forced Li Shan to get some turmeric water and apply it on his face to entertain the guests. At first, before he could react, Wen Bang repeatedly mentioned King Qin... You don't have to!
Because Wen Bang's father Wen Dayou has died of illness many years ago, his uncle Wen Yanbo has always maintained a neutral position and has not been involved in seizing the direct line. However, his uncle Wen Daya is a direct line of the King of Qin. Qu Tutong, Yu Zhining, Wang Junkuo, and Han Liang were successively transferred After entering Chang'an, Wen Daya actually controlled Shaanxi Province.
In other words, the Taiyuan Wen family also bet on both ends, and like the Danyang Fang of the Longxi Li family, they did not bet on the East Palace, but chose the King of Qin and His Majesty... Therefore, there is no need to worry at all.
But after listening for a while, Li Shancai realized that Wen Bang was not here for himself, but for his in-laws. After all, Li Jiancheng had been in charge of the East Palace for nearly ten years, and he had countless ministers attached to him, including in-laws of the Taiyuan Wen family.
Why did you find Li Shantou?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after the Renzhi Palace incident, the relationship between Li Shan and Li Shimin became increasingly close. Li Shan came to the rescue twice, and Li Shimin sent his direct descendants such as Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, and Shi Danai to Lingzhou, and then Li Shan's confidant Qu Silang was transferred to the Beiya Imperial Army.
Now that King Qin is about to take over the East Palace, many officials from aristocratic families are trying to change their families through Li Shan... at least to ensure that they are not liquidated.
Li Shan, who is a self-contained system, is not considered a direct descendant of the King of Qin, but he has a close relationship with the King of Qin and is respected because of his repeated military exploits. He is the most suitable candidate. On the contrary, Li Shimin's direct descendant is not easy to talk about.
After sending Wen Bang away, Li Shan decided to thank guests behind closed doors from today on. Unless summoned by His Majesty, he would not see anyone. I have to recuperate... Now that everything is not settled, he still has a lot of things to worry about, so who can worry about it? Forget about that!
Now that the King of Qin is involved in the war in Hedong, there will be no big war in Lingzhou. Longyou Road will not care about my affairs. According to the rules, I am not qualified to enter the Liangyi Palace to discuss matters. The possibility of Li Yuan summoning me is not high. .
At dusk, Li Shan walked around the village, inspecting various places. Among the leaders of the personal guards, Wang Junhao was always by Li Shan's side. Liu Heier personally guarded the entrance to the village. Su Dingfang sat in the village, and Zhou Erlang was in charge of the south side. Relatively easy to defend.
Because Su Dingfang had just arrived at Sun Moon Lake and persuaded Li Shan to dig a ditch here. It was said to be a ditch, but it was actually a river. Although it was not too wide, it could effectively prevent enemy sneak attacks.
Now, except for Li Shan's personal guards, most of the young men in Zhuangzi have been organized. Ordnance and bows and crossbows have been distributed. There are more than 600 people together. Su Dingfang is organized into five teams and takes turns on duty.
In terms of specific affairs handling, Li Shan was actually far inferior to Su Dingfang and Liu Heier. He just walked around and showed his face, and then returned home.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard his mother-in-law Zhang scolding Cui Shiniang. Hearing the footsteps, he looked back at Li Shan and couldn't help but smile and said: "Everyone in Chang'an knows the black man, but today he has become the yellow man." .”
Li Shan touched his cheek. Well, he applied more turmeric water.
"Mother-in-law is joking." Li Shanqian laughed a few times and glanced at his pouting wife, "This is..."
"After eating one bowl, I still want to eat a second bowl!" Mrs. Zhang snorted.
Zhu on the side also agreed, "It is good to eat only 70% full. Eating too much is not a good thing."
Well, it's true. Eating too much will not only cause pregnant women to gain weight, but also cause fetal weight to gain, making delivery more difficult.
Mrs. Zhu called two maids and took away all the dishes and bowls on the table. Li Shan was also speechless. Your daughter-in-law has eaten, but your son hasn't eaten yet!
At this time, four or five miles away from Sun Moon Lake, forty or fifty war horses approached quietly. The powerful man at the head got off his horse, leaving ten guards behind to collect the horses, and led the remaining guards towards Sun Moon Lake.
This is the only road from Sun Moon Lake to the outside world. It is also a gravel road specially built by Li Shan a few years ago. Sometimes there are dense forests and sometimes cliffs on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Before they had gone far, the sound of birds was heard in the forest. The majestic man frowned slightly and felt a little suspicious. It was already night and the forest was silent. The sudden birdsong was unlikely to be a coincidence.
After walking some distance further, one could already see the narrow entrance of the village. The ears of the majestic man twitched slightly, a slight bow string sounded, and two arrows shot into the sky, making a sharp sound.
"Alang?"
The majestic man smiled and said, "Both King Si of Wei and Duke Zhao are famous generals. The current situation should be like this."
The group continued to move forward. When they were still a hundred steps away from the village entrance, an ambush suddenly appeared on both sides. There were dozens of young men on the left and right holding swords, guns, or bows and crossbows. There were piles of antlers at the entrance of the village, and a man holding a The big man looked from behind, surrounded by dozens of people.
The majestic man was a little surprised. He was not only on guard, but had laid such a trap. He was simply frightened. Not only was he afraid of being attacked by a sneak attack, but he was also afraid of a strong attack by a large army.
After the situation persisted for a while, Liu Heier squinted and looked at the dozens of people in the distance. It was too dark to see clearly, but one person was already walking quickly.
"Mr. Lang has come to pay a visit to His Highness King Wei Si." It was a middle-aged man who came.
"Alang is ill, so we will thank guests behind closed doors." Liu Heier refused without hesitation, "Is your family head named?"
The middle-aged man hesitated a little, looked back, and asked softly: "May I ask who you are..."
Liu Hei'er was even more suspicious. Although he was the least qualified among the guards leaders, he had actually been the commander-in-chief of the guards before this. He came to the house secretly, but the people he sent did not recognize him.
At this time, a noise suddenly broke out outside. It seemed that they couldn't wait any longer. The person came forward, and the guard on the left fired an arrow without hesitation, and the arrow flew past the opponent's eyes.
Liu Heier thought about it in his mind. Now there is only Princess Pingyang in the capital. If he sends someone here, he will never be so secretive. He might as well just take it.
"Capture him alive." Liu Heier ordered: "Don't kill him."
The personal guards holding crossbows and spears slowly pressed forward from all sides, surrounding the opponent in the middle and squeezing the opponent's space. Liu Heier was still thinking about who it was, but unexpectedly, a powerful man shot like lightning. Suddenly he reached out and grabbed a long spear, and with a backhand pull, he pulled the guard staggering to the ground.
There was a big uproar around him, and Liu Heier's heart skipped a beat. If he dared to take action like this, he would definitely not be an enemy. He immediately shouted loudly and caught up with a horse in hand.
By the time Li Shan received the report from the personal guards and rushed to the entrance of the village, both sides had stopped fighting. The personal guards were bandaging the wound of the only man on the other side who had an injured arm, while Liu Heier was still fighting with a strong man. Each holds the two ends of a horse-stem, locked in a stalemate.
Li Shan was also drunk, and the visitor was Yu Chigong.
