So I play chess

Chapter 213 Missy's Plan
"Miss, although Zheng Bai is not a child, he has never seen anything in the world, and he is a high-minded person who can't pretend to be serious. He may be able to deal with others. After all, Zheng Tong and him have some past relationships. I'm afraid it won't do anything good."

All the people who should have dispersed here have dispersed, and even Wen Liang followed Tang Mingyi, letting him have a good look at the demeanor of the generals of the Liangzhou Army.

So only Zhi Xia was left, and Li Mao, who had just instructed Zheng Bai, was here to talk.

Li Mao was already worried about Zheng Bai. If this person is placed outside, places like wine shops are not enough, but in some teahouses, it is just enough to do some things like collecting news or righteously inciting passers-by.

But if you let him put on a show and gossip, this person is definitely not suitable.

What's more, he was worried about Madam Tian's suffering every day in this permanent residence, and he must want to pick his mother out even more if he has the opportunity today.

And this matter is the best to deal with Zheng Tong, if Mrs. Tian comes out from Zheng's house, the restraint that Zheng Tong personally sent will be gone.

It's not that Li Mao has a dark heart, he didn't have any feelings for Zheng Bai and the others, and Zheng Bai was far from the point where he cherished his talent.This situation has obviously been created, and only two people can handle the current largest patriarch of the family in Tongcheng. Li Mao will never let go of this opportunity.

If Li Mao were to do it, even if Zheng Tong sent Lady Tian here himself, he would still have to find a way to send her back.

Therefore, I don't know what the eldest lady's plan is.

"What do you think is bad?" Wen Gu asked casually, leaning on the couch.

She originally planned to sleep until tomorrow morning, but she didn't know if it was because she couldn't sleep well for several days. She was obviously very sleepy, but the sky couldn't completely cover her, and she couldn't fall asleep when she lay down. She felt a little dazed just now , someone came to report the whereabouts of Master Sun.

So he hurriedly recruited Li Mao to come over and make an arrangement for Zheng Bai, and then it was almost dinner time, so he simply gave up the idea of ​​going to bed again, and waited until the meal was over before he could rest.

And even if Li Mao came to see the eldest lady in a hurry, he did not come empty-handed. He specially brought a plate of freshly picked mulberry seeds and handed them to Zhixia to wash. Wen Gu had already eaten them.

Seeing the eldest lady asking, Li Mao didn't hide anything, and only told the truth about his thoughts.

After hearing this, Wen Gu didn't criticize Li Mao, but said, "Why did we eat mulberry seeds so early this year?"

After speaking, he handed the dish to Zhixia, and the maid was even more unrestrained, grabbed a handful and held it in her hand: "Yes, it should be another half a month or so."

Wen Gu handed it to Li Mao again, but Li Mao didn't dare to be presumptuous like Zhixia, so he just picked up one with his fingers and said at the same time: "Miss, why don't you say that the water and soil in Tongcheng are good, there is a garden in the north of the city, and there are two trees in it. , the fruit bears earlier than the other ones, and I saw that it was not sour, so I bought it with the owner of the garden, and gave it to the eldest lady to taste first, but it is still a little smaller, and it will be suitable for eating in half a month."

Wen Gu nodded: "We have come all the way from Liangzhou, and we have gone through so many things, but this thing always happens again and again, and there is no sign of ending."

Li Mao hurriedly said: "It all depends on the young lady's careful thinking and careful planning, otherwise there would be only these things."

As Li Mao said, he habitually bent slightly, and Wen Gu happened to see the scar on his forehead that was slightly lighter but obviously would not fade away, so he said sincerely: "It's all because of me, thank you for your hard work. "

Li Mao followed up with a few words of humility and let it go, but Wen Gu said again: "But even so, I always want to eat a fresh one every day. As long as I eat it, I will feel happy, and I feel that there is nothing wrong in this world. It's all difficult."

Wen Gu paused at this point, and then asked again: "Why do you think this is?"

"Eaters are not just enough to satisfy one's hunger. The eldest lady is good at tasting all kinds of flavors, so she can naturally find the truth of everything from it, so that she can go through all kinds of things and overcome all difficulties without loss." Li Mao replied.

"I'm not talking about that." Wen Gu shook his head, "I just think that besides being alive, people have to think about something. But I can't think about anything else besides these."

"Miss..."

Although Wen Gu's sentence didn't have any overly sad tone, Zhixia still understood the meaning, and she didn't know how the eldest lady felt sad, and she wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to say it.

However, Wen Gu continued: "But there is another layer. I regard these as hopes because I still have the Liangzhou Army to rely on, and you, and Uncle Wen to find them for me, so it is within reach. "

Zhixia was still feeling sorry for the eldest lady, but Li Mao probably thought of what she meant, so he nodded.

"But the people in Anping and Guangyang counties, I'm afraid their hope is simpler, but also more difficult. They just want to live."

Li Mao responded accordingly: "Miss has the common people in her heart..."

Wen Gu still shook his head, and stopped his words: "And people like Zheng Bai, who were born in troubled times and are temporarily stable, what do you think he is thinking about every day and night in this not lost residence?"

Li Mao replied seriously: "Naturally, it is the reunion of mother and child."

Wen Gu finally nodded: "Speaking of which, I have thought about the Sun family and the Zheng family these days, the situation in Tongcheng, Yang Wantang, and even thinking about our past. Our Liangzhou army has such a great ability, but it is enough to live in a corner and survive on our own, even if we restrain ourselves from looting the people and bullying the weak?"

Li Mao took a deep breath, his face solemn: "What does Missy mean?"

"Isn't the Liangzhou army being a bit stingy to rely on me alone, or only to rely on ourselves?" Wen Gu smiled slightly, "The current Anping Guangyang, and maybe some other places in the future, I will hold back for now. I can't reach it, but I always want to reach out to some sufferings in front of me, at least some sufferings that do not involve the safety of thousands of us."

"I understand." Li Mao replied sincerely, and of course found some other meanings from Wen Gu's words, "I also have something I want to ask Miss."

Wen Gu nodded, motioning him to go ahead and speak.

"I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to talk about this matter, but since the eldest lady mentioned it, I asked along with it." Li Mao said seriously, "Should we go east or south next? I'm going to be ready."

Wen Gu understood what he meant, and going east was to take advantage of the troubled times to save the people, accumulate strength, restrain those miscellaneous troops from Southern Chu, and then build a Liangzhou City.

Going south is to join the Southern Chu, try to turn the tide, first reject the Yu Kingdom in the north, obtain meritorious service, and then clean up the court to bring clarity to the Southern Chu.

Now that he has Tang Mingyi's relationship, he can go both ways.
