The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 224 Li Muyun's Shrewdness
In the posthouse of Shuozhou Mansion, Lu Qinghong had already woken up. At this time, he was trying to force himself to write an impeachment memorial to His Majesty the Emperor.

The stimulation Li Muyun brought to him was too deep, and he had lost so much face in public, he would avenge this revenge no matter what.

And the carriage that Li Yuan was riding in when he came was Li Muyun's biggest excuse. As long as he told His Majesty the matter, it would be difficult for some people to argue even if they were in full view.At that time, Li Muyun will not be able to escape no matter what a hat of transgression or treason is.

Lu Qinghong pondered viciously, judging according to his own thinking whether Li Muyun would be cut in half or beheaded, never thinking that maybe the person in the carriage would really be the emperor's own father.

……

In the alley two blocks away from the building outside the building, the confrontation was still going on, the woman quietly looked at Li Muyun after identifying herself, as if waiting for him to express her gratitude.

However, Li Muyun obviously doesn't think so. He knows exactly how Han Qiang died, and at the same time he also knows that a dude like Han Qiang would not announce that he is fleeing, so he doesn't think that Gongsun Lan got his news from a dead guy.

In addition, Li Muyun also didn't think that a woman like Gongsun Lan would take the initiative to inquire about the ins and outs of a person who was beaten to death by him, just like in his previous life, after he repaired some gangsters on the street, he would not care about those gangsters What is the origin of the same.

In this way, the only reason why Gongsun Lan knew about him was that the Han family had sent someone to find her head, and she knew all this from the Han family.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun sighed helplessly, looked at Gongsun Lan and said, "Then what do you want me to do? If I can help you, I will definitely help. Of course, if you want my life, this You need to pick it up yourself."

After hearing Li Yun's words, Gongsun Lan seemed a little surprised, and looked at him carefully for a while before slowly saying: "I can't tell, you are quite smart, but I don't know why you are so smart and you take the initiative to provoke the Ministry of Punishment."

"Everyone has a time when they are forced to. I want to live, but some people don't want me to live, so I can only fight with my back. Is this explanation satisfactory to Miss Gongsun?"

"I'm satisfied, but none of you officials is a good person. Dogs eat dogs. I'm just a fish in a pond that got hurt."

Li Muyun smiled wryly and shook his head, he had no idea that the girl he met was actually an angry young man who labeled him as 'not a good person' without asking any questions.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Gongsun Lan's eyes were fine, and she could clearly see Li Muyun's expression under the moonlight.

Li Muyun shrugged his shoulders noncommittally at Gongsun Lan's words, and then said helplessly: "Miss Gongsun, let's not say whether what you said is right or wrong, but in terms of your current situation, shouldn't you show some sincerity? Otherwise, why do you think Li wants to help you?"

"Do you think I'm here to ask you for help?" Gongsun Lan asked in a low voice.

"Regardless of whether you came to ask me for help, in the land of Datang, I should be the only one who can help you, and is willing to help you. Otherwise, why would you travel thousands of miles from Luoyang to Shuozhou? You know, Luliang Mountain is in the south of Shuozhou." Li Muyun said while pointing to the south of the city.

Gongsun Lan stopped talking, and stared at Li Muyun for a long while while pursing her thin lips, and then said, "It seems that I made a mistake in coming here to look for you."

"No, this should be the most correct thing you did, because only in this way can you get rid of the pursuit of you by the Han family. Maybe you don't care about such a pursuit, but your family can't help it, I said right?"

"Yes, I admit that there is no difference between the facts and what you said. The people of the Han family are indeed hunting me down." Under the persecution of Li Muyun's harsh words, Gongsun Lan finally confessed her purpose of coming to him: "But I didn't come to you to get your protection, I just wanted to make a deal with you."

Li Muyun was not surprised by this, he was more familiar with this kind of affairs in the Jianghu than dealing with those dudes, so after a faint smile, he made a gesture of invitation and said: "Please tell me, girl, I will listen carefully!"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Lan simply did not go around in circles, and said straightforwardly: "I need you to publicly admit that you hired me to kill Han Qiang. For this reason, I can promise you three conditions, but it must be me. Within one 's power."

"Does killing Han Ai count?" Li Muyun asked suddenly.

"It's impossible to kill him. I've been to his house before I came here. It's heavily guarded and it's impossible to attack him. Even if I can really kill him, it's very difficult to get out."

"Then stay and be my bodyguard." Li Muyun once again put forward a condition.

"Li Muyun, you'd better stop it. You are already a deadly enemy with the Han family. Even if you announce that you have something to do with Han Qiang's death, it won't affect you at all."

"Miss Gongsun, this is because you are unreasonable. Whether I have any enmity with the Han family is my business, and your enmity with the Han family is your business. How can this be confused? I have carried the black misfortune for you, but you But this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, do you think I’m a fool? Or do you think I, Li Muyun, are easy to bully!”

"This..." Gongsun Lan was at a loss for words when Li Muyun said it.

Now she is really being chased crazy by the killers sent by the Han family. Whether those people are chasing her endlessly for money or orders, it has seriously affected her search for her senior brother. .

Another point is that because she accidentally leaked her family background back then, she had to consider whether the Han family would retaliate against her family, so she had to come to Shuozhou, planning to ask Li Muyun to take the matter down , only in this way can she get rid of the pursuit of the Han family, at least until Li Muyun is not dead, she is safe.

But the bad thing is that Li Muyun is too smart, so smart that he can already see the embarrassment of being cornered without saying anything.

Seeing that Gongsun Lan was silent, Li Muyun sighed helplessly: "Miss Gongsun, it's not that Li refuses to help you with this matter, it's that there are a large group of subordinates who have to rely on them to live, before doing anything , I always have to think about them first, do you think it makes sense?"

Of course Gongsun Lan understands the truth, but for her, understanding alone cannot solve practical problems. What she needs is help, someone to help her carry this matter.

After a long silence, Gongsun Lan gritted her teeth and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Okay, I can agree to be your guard, but before that, I need to complete one thing. I will come back, if you want to believe me, then it's a deal, if you don't believe me... just pretend that this girl has never been here."

"Yes! I believe in Miss Gongsun's character." Contrary to Gongsun Lan's expectations, Li Muyun nodded and agreed without hesitation, and didn't even ask her what she was going to do or when she would be back.

Unable to understand, Gongsun Lan asked reflexively, "Why?"

"Li said, I believe that your character is as simple as that!" Li Muyun said with a casual smile and spread his hands.

"Then, it's a deal."

"A word is settled!"

In the dark alley, after Li Muyun and Gongsun Lan negotiated the conditions, they left separately. He didn't ask where Gongsun Lan went, but he himself returned to the house prepared for him by the rich boy.

……

Assassinating the envoy's mansion, Wang Weiyi never took a break, and waited until midnight when Wang Qing came back drunk from outside.

"Qing'er, come here." Seeing Wang Qing who was almost trembling while walking, Wang Weiwei called him into the study.

"Grandpa, what's the matter, can we talk about it tomorrow!" Wang Qing is not only drunk now, but he is so tired that he is almost unsteady when he walks after he has just smoothed out the two little hooves.

But Wang Weiyi didn't intend to let him go, just gave him a hard look, and then said: "Tell me about what happened when I drank with Li Muyun tonight, and then you can go to rest."

"Say, what are you talking about?" Wang Qing shook his head, trying hard to recall what happened when he was drinking just now, and it took him a while to remember something about Li Muyun's plan to hold a 'harvest competition', so he briefly told Wang Weiyi for a moment.

In the end, the guy said complacently: "Grandpa, just take a look this time, grandson will definitely handle this matter well and make it grander."

Wang Weiwei frowned thoughtfully, always felt that there was something tricky in it, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Seeing that Wang Qing couldn't even sit still, he waved his hand casually: "Okay, go and rest! Remember, don't drink so much wine next time, understand!"

Wang Weiyi had repeated the same words countless times. Wang Qing's ears could almost hear cocoons, and he simply said casually, "Ming, I understand, my grandson will remember."

……

At the same time, Li Muyun returned to the mansion, and happened to meet Yu Zhining who hadn't rested yet. Under Lao Yu's questioning, he also told him about preparing for the 'harvest competition'.

For Li Muyun's behavior, Yu Zhining was deeply puzzled: "Why do you want to hold this inexplicable competition? Besides, where did you come from for so many people to compete?"

"I don't have a field, but the people in Shanyin County have it. It costs more than [-] yuan to hire a group of people to harvest all the crops in the county in three days. Teacher, don't you think this is a good deal? "
