Although he tried hard to control himself, the young man's breathing was still quite heavy.
Li Wangsong narrowed his eyes slightly and squeezed the cup in his hand: "Sir, for such an important matter, why do you need to risk getting involved in something that shouldn't be involved?"
Guo Denlin laughed loudly: "What men want is nothing more than power, status, wealth, and beauty!"
"At this stage, what have I not enjoyed?"
"But some people, if they miss it, they will never see it again, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives!"
"Young Master Guo is indeed young and hot-blooded." Li Cuiluo glanced at him with beautiful eyes: "I promise you."
Guo Denglin was overjoyed, stood up and clasped his fists: "So, noble sir, rest assured, I will definitely facilitate this matter!"
"So, when will it be cashed out?"
"Master Guo is too impatient." Li Cuiluo looked indifferent: "Now that Master Guo has made a public statement, everything has become an established fact."
"Okay! If the nobleman goes back on his word, I will also have the ability to break the contract."
Guo Denglin nodded, as if a fire was lit in his heart: Look at you, you look so arrogant, just wait for me!
When all negotiations are completed——
"Something bad is going to happen!"
Without waiting for an announcement, a figure rushed in from outside the door, covered in blood, and cried on the ground:
"Empress, Master! Shen Xin has rebelled!"
"A man named Zhou Jiao, who claimed to be the leader of the Salt Gang, killed the sect leader!"
"They have already made preparations. They have soldiers with swords, shields, crossbows, and a large number of weapons prepared."
"Those civilian men who bear the burden of salt are their source of soldiers!"
Hearing this, Li Cuiluo's delicate body swayed.
Guo Denlin has agreed to the conditions, and it can be said that the recruitment of Hedong is a certainty - this great achievement will soon fall on the two of them.
He has stepped onto the threshold of success with every step, but his legs have been chopped off every time?
Was it her biological father who chopped it? !
Once Li Qing dies, the Li family's status in Hedong will definitely be affected!
And if Zhou Jiao, who suddenly appeared, really did something major to subvert Hedong... wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted? !
This person raised his flag and made it clear that he was the enemy of the Li family. If he succeeded, how could the Li family survive in Hedong again?
If the Li family is destroyed, everything will probably be shaken out.
Li Wangsong was also stunned.
Then, he fell to the ground with a cry: "Father, wuwuwu——"
Dad, why are you dead?
Dad, why would you leave such a big family to me?
Dad, my son suddenly wants to laugh...
To be honest, Li Wangsong has mixed feelings.
Fortunately, my father died and he will become the head of the Li family.
What worries me is that the situation is not very stable yet, and I don’t know if my brother will suddenly become upset?
Furthermore, will Zhou Jiao, who killed his father, really subvert Hedong? --Won't! Absolutely impossible!
As soon as this idea emerged, he was strangled to death by Li Wangsong!
How stable is Hedong?
Even the imperial army was defeated. What does a small Zhoujiao mean?
In recent years, have there been fewer people opposing Li Guo? The end of each one is more miserable than the last!
As for his father's death, it can only be attributed to his bad luck. Shen Xin was killed by the furious and forbearing man.
"My condolences to both of you!"
Guo Denlin had a sad and comforting look on his face, but his heart was filled with joy.
Whether this Zhou Jiao or the so-called Shen Xin appeared, they were nothing in his eyes!
All he knew was that the leader of the Li family was dead.
Although Li Wangsong can succeed to the throne, he will have to stabilize the Li family for a long time.
Didn’t this huge benefit of the Salt Gang fall into the mouths of my family?
The Li family is weak, so wouldn't it be more important to win over the princess and the woman who might become the queen in the future?
... Go back and train your waist!
Li Cuiluo was the only one who was really sad about this.
Li Qing's death would not do her any good, and leaving aside her family ties, her plans must not be compromised!
Her eyes were red: "Go, send someone to find the third brother immediately!"
Only then did the kneeling person react and cried: "The third young master was killed by Zhou Jiao before, and... he even had his head cooked!"
Li Cuiluo's pretty face suddenly turned white.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Li Wangsong, who was lying on his stomach, was stunned for a while, and then howled louder: "Third brother, my miserable third brother!"
You are so considerate!
Knowing that daddy was leaving, you left early for fear of embarrassing me... You really made me cry to death!
Li Cuiluoyu clenched her hands tightly into fists: "Mr. Guo is still on the front line and has not returned. This group of people has obviously had a premeditated plan... They must be extinguished quickly!"
"Don't worry, noble man." Guo Denglin handed over his hand and said, "I will go back to the city and order the troops and horses to kill this thief and avenge my noble man."
"Master, don't underestimate the enemy." Li Cuiluo said: "Now the county has few troops and cannot afford to take any risks. To be on the safe side, we should call Zhang Boyu from Jishan to attack and kill this thief and kill the rebellion as soon as possible!"
Guo Denlin thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine."
Guo Denglin rushed back to the county town to gather troops, while Li Wangsong sent a horse to deliver the message to Jishan... Also, stabilize the Li family's internal affairs!
Jishan.
The first letter arrived early, but the second was still on its way.
In front of Zhang Boyu, there is a person standing: young in appearance, but short in stature.
"You said you would withdraw your troops tonight?" Zhang Boyu asked, "Didn't you say that your Sixth Prince plays music behind closed doors day and night, but is unwilling to withdraw? Why, he is not afraid of going back to receive punishment?"
"If you don't want to go back, can you not go back? He is not the only one who has the final say in the army." The other party sneered and said: "The supervisory army will force the withdrawal of the army with court documents."
"I see..." Zhang Boyu nodded slightly: "How to find the Sixth Prince among the chaotic army?"
"Simple." The other party showed two pictures: "One is the current camp layout, and the other is the marching route of the withdrawing armies. Everything has been arranged."
Zhang Boyu took it and after reading it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "How do I know this book is trustworthy?"
"For you, I am naturally untrustworthy." The visitor shook his head: "But you just need to trust the people behind you, right?"
This line of communication was established with Li's help... Zhang Boyu nodded and put the drawing away: "You can't leave until the matter is completed."
"I won't leave even after it's done."
The other party pointed to the west of the mountain and said: "After doing this, will I still be able to survive when I go back to the court? My glory and wealth are in the east of the river!"
"Interesting." Zhang Boyu smiled knowingly, waved his hand and said, "Come here, please go down and have a rest."
"Tell all the ministries to mobilize their troops and attack Jiguan at night!"
"yes!"
