Facing the congratulations from everyone, Li Jiudou was overjoyed and returned the favor repeatedly. Looking at Yu Wenzhao, he burst into tears of gratitude, clasped his fists and thanked: "Thank you for being recommended by Marshal Yuwen, otherwise I would never have the chance to be this general. In the future, I will do my best not to let you down."
Yu Wenzhao continued to whistle and said: "Mr. Li, what are you talking about? Although I usually rarely speak, among the civil and military officials of this dynasty, the one I admire most is Mr. Li! You have a high seniority, seniority, and sophistication. Being prudent is not something we juniors can compare to. Apart from you, the Tiandu Dynasty can no longer find another suitable person. Today is a rare opportunity. I will be the host and invite you all to come to my house for a drink! Let’s go! Let’s go!”
Everyone's teeth ached when they heard this. When did Yu Wenzhao learn to tell lies with his eyes open? When had he ever admired Li Jiudou?
But Li Jiudou actually took it seriously. But I saw him stroking his beard, his old face was smiling, and he looked ecstatic. And he liked Yu Wenzhao more and more.
Who in the world doesn’t know Yu Wenzhao, who was a master of martial arts at that time and a truly powerful sect. Getting his approval is even harder than getting the praise of King Tiandu. At this time, he wished he could have another daughter to marry Yu Wenzhao, so that he could express his gratitude at this moment.
Li Jiudou's face was filled with joy and he was also in high spirits. He laughed and said, "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go and have some fun together. Yu Wen Tianqing is so generous, we must give him face. We won't come back until we get drunk today!"
Yu Wenzhao smiled cheekily again and said: "Hey! What's your name? Tianqing. According to seniority, I am your nephew. I think from now on, I will call you Uncle Li, and you can call me by my nickname from now on, or you can also call me nephew. ah!"
Yu Wenzhao didn't show any shame, which made everyone look at him with admiration. The majestic Jianghu hero Yu Wenzhao, the Tianwei Grand Marshal of the Tiandu Dynasty, actually took the initiative to become Li Jiudou's nephew. If his uncle Yu Wenlan heard this, his head would be filled with anger.
Li Jiudou didn't hold it either, and laughed and said, "Okay. Nephew Yuwen, let's go."
A group of people in the inner palace left happily and happily. The faces of all the officials in the foreign government were filled with anger.
Yin Shaozheng looked at the other Tianqings and said with a dark face: "Bah! A group of thieves, they succeeded today. Do you think Yu Wenzhao hit a ghost today? Why did he kowtow to Li Jiudou?"
Kou Ling said with a smile: "I still don't understand. Li Jiudou is Li Benxin's father-in-law, and her two beautiful daughters are blowing pillows in Li Benxin's ears every day. Li Benxin naturally trusts him. Although Yu Wenzhao is the general marshal, , but he is an outsider after all. If he wants to do it in the long run, he should be more careful."
Yin Shaozheng shook his head and said: "Then why didn't he pick up Li Jiudou before? I think there is still a ghost here. What do you think, Master Sima?"
At this time, Sima Yue's face was full of murderous intent, her eyes had turned into a sword shape, and she was just thinking about how to retaliate against the other party. Leng said: "Of course there is a ghost. Do you think that just one Luofan can stir up such a big situation yesterday? Xu Ran is just a general. If there is no big man behind him, how can he have the courage to send troops. And Yu Wenzhao doesn't There seems to be people with such a plan, but it seems that there are people we don’t know hidden behind them.”
Yin Shaozheng said angrily: "Who cares who is doing this! I think we should immediately gather our forces and force Li Benxin directly. Take away all his military power, and then kill Luofan and Xu Ran! Only in this way can we maintain stability forever."
Kou Ling shook his head and said: "No. The situation is unclear. After all, Li Benxin is backed by masters from the Divine Leg Sect and the Iron Head Sect. You forgot, last night they killed all your 30,000 troops with just a few hundred golden armored soldiers. Who knows, they secretly How many soldiers and horses are there. Now, once we mobilize our troops and Li Benxin closes the city gate so that our outside soldiers cannot come in, he can use the imperial army and the city guard to destroy us. If we are not careful, we will lose everything. Don’t be careless.”
Qiao Bafang said disdainfully: "I'm afraid of a bird! I have 30,000 people in Dragon City, Lord Kou has 30,000 people, Lord Sima has 50,000 people. And Lord Yin, there are only 200,000 or 300,000 people in the dozen or so gangs in the capital." . Dealing with Li Benxin, who has tens of thousands of people, is not something he can do with his hands! And once a fight breaks out, Lord Sima is surprised that Feng Yuan's 120,000 troops, as well as the 120,000 troops of King Fucheng Cheng and King Feng, can be killed in half a day Come. By then, Dragon City will not all be ours."
Kou Ling shook his head again and said: "That's right. It's just hard to do. Sometimes, the number of soldiers is not the same as the number of soldiers. It's true that we have more numbers, but don't forget that Li Benxin and Yu Wenlan, the older generation masters, are in charge. It's really a fight. Get up, who can stop these masters of martial arts? Master Sima, what do you think?"
Sima Yue said coldly: "Master Kou is right. When leading an army to fight, it's not just about the number of people. Those gangsters from gangs and lakes are useless no matter how many they have. Besides, unless I have the ability to fight, you guys Can the three of them lead the army? If we want to force the palace, we must also choose the right opportunity and not let him be on guard. Remember when King Xie Li Tao rebelled, he also had hundreds of thousands of troops. But in the end, he was still defeated by just using Li Yilong has hundreds of troops. Do you know how Li Tao was defeated?"
Qiao Bafang smiled without thinking: "Who doesn't know this? Back then, Li Yilong was forced to flee in all directions by Li Tao. Finally, with the help of Xue Yang, he gathered Zhang Ruoxu, Tie Zhang Sect, Shen Leg Sect, and Xiao Wang Lia Zhi Hua. Reinforcements. The two sides fought several times, but Xue Yang always pretended to lose. Li Tao led an army of 200,000 to pursue them all the way to the southeastern rock valley, but fell into a trap and was defeated like a mountain. He was even captured alive. This Does it have anything to do with us now?"
Sima Yue asked again: "Then do you think Li Tao lost to Xue Yang?"
The three of them nodded.
Sima Yue snorted coldly: "No. He didn't lose to Xue Yang, but to the title of King of Tiandu. With the title of King of Tiandu, Li Yilong could attract reinforcements like Zhang Ruoxu and Liao Zhihua to help. As long as Li Benxin is still Tiandu. As the king of the capital, he can recruit helpers at any time. So if we really want to destroy Li Benxin, we must be honest, otherwise other kings will come back to bite us."
Yin Shaozheng and Qiao Bafang listened confused, but Kou Ling already understood and nodded: "Master Sima is still thinking deeply. If we want to send troops, we must have a suitable excuse. Moreover, it is time to cultivate a replacement for Li Benxin in advance. Otherwise, If we really have to replace him one day, we can’t do it without the King of Heavenly Capital who can stop everyone in Youyou’s mouth.”
Only then did Yin Shaozheng and Qiao Bafang understand that they had to find a new puppet King Tiandu in advance.
Yin Shaozheng scratched his head and said: "This is too troublesome. There are quite a lot of Li's orthodox bloodline, and it is not difficult to train a few puppets. However, this is too time-consuming! It won't take more than a year and a half to become a trend. Could it be that I Aren’t you going to avenge last night’s great revenge?”
Sima Yue said coldly: "Of course we have to take revenge. But we can't be in a hurry. We have to pull them out one by one like pulling out nails. Whether they are Luo Fan, Xu Ran, Xue Yang, or Yu Wenzhao, they will all die. Besides, kill them openly." No, why can’t we do it secretly?”
Yin Shaozheng said with hatred: "That Luo Fan and Xu Ran killed my four sons. I guarantee that they will not survive for three days!"
Qiao Bafang also said cruelly: "We can't let go of that Ji Daoyuan. Leave him to me to kill. We want the world to know that no one in the fourth generation family can be offended!"
Sima Yue: "I don't care who you want to kill, but I want to remind you not to underestimate our opponents. Otherwise, what happened last night is just an example. If someone catches you again, I won't have the chance to save you. "
…
Luo Fan leaves the palace.
At the street corner, Xuan Yi came up to him and said, "Sima Yue was surprised that Feng Yuan's 120,000 troops were stationed twenty miles east of the city. The armies of King Cheng and King Feng were twenty miles south of the city. But they did not continue to advance. . Also, news came from the Huangzi Team that the top ten commanders of Nancheng would come to the Zhang family to express their condolences. They also discovered the Flying Eagle Colt of Zhang Ruoxu’s eldest son, Zhang Moran, at the Nancheng Horse Market. According to the horse dealer’s confession, the horse was Several civilian army disciples secretly sold it at night. It seems that Zhang Moran has been killed."
Luo Fan thought: "Oh, Zhang Moran must have sought help from his father's confidant commander when he ran back to Nancheng. Now that he was killed in Nancheng, it means that Sima Yue was an undercover agent among the commoner army commanders. Well, I understand. You go back and rest, you have been working hard all night."
Xuan Yi said again: "Do we need to protect Xu Ran and Li Daoyuan? The four major families will definitely take action against them next."
Luofan waved his hand: "No need. Xu Ran is protected by the secret pavilion, which will keep him hidden for a period of time. And Li Daoyuan, an old man who can live for 140 years in the world, has his own means to save his life."
Xuan Yi left quickly.
Luofan walked forward a few dozen steps, and saw Huangfu Tianrong in a carriage on the street, cautiously poking his head and calling Luofan over.
