Almighty Blessing Pack: Traveling through troubled times with a microscope

Chapter 118
Due to the shortage of people in Shuihua Village, after the city gate was captured, they rushed north to rescue the three people of Ren Bank according to the plan.Wang Sanxiang's fort was removed, and the people of Mizhuang regained their freedom.Zhao Wang got his wish and entered Mizhou City. Before leaving, he wanted to shake hands with Jin Xiaoyan but was rejected. He just turned and left.

King Zhao didn't know that the rich merchants in the city had already signed a treaty with the King of Chess. Instead, with the idea of ​​improving Mizhuang, he quickly stationed troops and even sent a team of troops to surround the King of Chess.All the children from rich families who participated in the brawl were released before.

Li House.

"Master." The servant at home bowed his head and saluted.

"Where is the young master?"

"Go back to the master, the young master is currently in the study."

Li Jiang turned his head after hearing the sound, and walked in the direction of his father.

Li Ren is still in charge of the Li family. His plan has high returns but high risks. Without Li Ren's nod, it would be difficult to implement.

"Father." Li Jiang saluted.

Li Ren was a little surprised that his son's behavior today was not the same as in the past.Therefore, he didn't answer, and only signaled Li Jiang to continue with his eyes.

Li Jiang brushed off his sleeves, and then said: "Today the king of chess came to spread the word." Li Ren leaned forward slightly upon hearing this.

"The King of Chess intends to take down Mizhuang, so he sent General Chen to negotiate. I have already agreed, and I just need to help General Chen take down that Zhao..."

"Confused!" Before Li Jiang finished his sentence, Li Ren slammed the table and stood up, bursting into anger.

Li Jiang was quite unconvinced, and was about to refute, when he heard Li Ren say: "Who is the chess king? The situation has been unstable and turbulent these years, how can he stand in line and mix in?"

"My Li family has been established for generations and has a huge family fortune. In troubled times, it is a living target. The chess king won Mizhuang, and he also took us into his wings!" Li Jiang argued.

Hearing this, Li Ren only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

"You also know that the Li family is rich. If anything happens, we'll be the first to do it!" Li Ren felt strange. He knew that his son had always been very wise and thoughtful, so how could he make such a decision?There must be a secret behind it.

"Why should you play Chess King?" Li Ren looked shrewdly at Li Jiang.

Li Jiang saw that he couldn't hide it, so he turned to tell the whole story.

"The Ren family has a wealth of wealth, and now the family is run by a woman, Ren Bank. This woman has a high heart and looks down on her son. But she wholeheartedly opposes the chess king. If Mi Zhuang is under the chess king's command, she will definitely be attracted."

Li Jiang rubbed his fingers, and continued: "This person holds a thousand pieces of gold in his hand and is in charge of Shuixiangtang. She is also a woman. When she comes to Mizhuang, with the help of the chess king, isn't it just around the corner for my son to take her down? When the time comes to swallow her Ren's family, Wouldn’t it be a double-edged strategy to get both money and soldiers?”

Li Ren looked at his son, "Say so much, just to get a woman?"

Li Jiang naturally couldn't admit his thoughts, but said: "The most important thing is the money and troops in her hands. The world is not fair now, but money and troops are always the confidence to survive."

Li Ren frowned and thought, and had to admit that Li Jiang was right.

For those rich and powerful, having money without soldiers is a piece of fat.The wealth of the Ren family is second, but the Shuixiangtang held by Bank Ren is indeed worth the risk.

"Having said that, you need to be cautious about seeking skins from tigers. Tell me about General Chen's plan in detail."

Li Jiang was a little impatient, but he could only come one by one.

In the end, he said: "I am the former subordinate of General Chen, and I have some affection for him, and I will have an extra layer of protection in the future."

Li Ren nodded after listening to this, "Everything is safe."

Li Jiang had no answer.

Li Ren was still dissatisfied, but thinking that Li Jiang also needed more training before he could steer alone in the future, he suppressed his dissatisfaction for the time being and only supported his son wholeheartedly.

Then Li Ren handed over the family to Li Jiang to command.Li Jiang deployed immediately, instructed more than [-] people, and told everyone to pay attention to the large number of Ren's family members and Ren Bank's tricks, so he must catch Ren Bank.

The people he picked were vicious and vicious, obviously bad.

A group of people came to the water flower village aggressively, but found that the situation was different from what they had imagined.

The Ren family annoyed the Shaodong's family so much, they thought they were a bustling family, but they didn't expect that Shuihua Village was so sparsely populated that it couldn't even be called prosperous.

The leader was originally the small leader of a team of four, and this time he was in charge of commanding about twenty people.He felt that this was a rare opportunity, as long as this errand was done well, why not be reused by the master.

For a while, someone was complacent.

The little boss led people to search the village, and found that there were many houses in the village, but there were many vacant houses, and there was no one who was suspected of being the head of the house.He realized that something was wrong.

People are gone.

Maybe it was an ambush, or maybe they got the news and ran away.

Either way, it means that their group has changed from active to passive.

The little boss was very upset.He is a very self-motivated person, and heroes emerge from troubled times.For ordinary people, this world is not easy, but for him, this is the only chance for a low-level person like him to climb up.

The Li family went into business, and on the surface it was beautiful, but in fact it was like cooking oil, and it pointed to the troubled times to make a fortune and go straight to the blue sky.

He thought he could see clearly.So I want to make merit even more.

The little boss stopped an old man on the side of the road.

"Where did the people in this village go?" His tone was not polite.

The old man seemed a little scared, trembling.

"No... I don't know."

The little boss was annoyed, he pulled out the dagger at his waist, "I haven't killed anyone yet, but I don't mind having a knife."

The old man seemed to be getting more and more frightened, and couldn't help trembling: "This little old man really doesn't know. No one moves these days and even feasts on the neighbors."

"What about Miss Ren Ren Bank?"

The old man's cloudy eyes trembled, it turned out that it was the Ren family's fault.

"Miss Ren's family has been gone for several hours."

It's a pity, the little boss couldn't help sighing.

He asked again: "Where did you go?"

"How could I know this? She is a young lady, and I'm just a country old man who is about to die..."

The little boss didn't ask any more, he knew that the old man couldn't say anything.

A group of people continued to explore forward.

Along the way, they questioned a few people intimidatingly, but they made no progress.

All they met were peasants and women from the countryside, and they had no contact with Ren's family.

I heard that there are some rich people in the village, but they have never seen them.I thought they all ran away.

The little boss realized that he could no longer make meritorious deeds, so he could only find a way to make up for it and make up for the crime.After all, their young boss is kind on the surface, but he is definitely not a good person on the inside.

Fortunately, things progressed quickly, and they found Shuixiangtang.

But the strange thing is that Shuixiangtang is not lively.

Thinking of what Li Jiang said before his departure that "there are many people, the crowd is powerful", the little boss understood that things had changed again.

He could only take about twenty people to roughly observe the remaining number of Ren's family, and then returned with a kind of family member without success.

As the leader, the little boss spoke back to Li Jiang alone.

"Young Master, when we went there, there were few people in Shuihua Village, and we only found out that Miss Ren's family had left after we asked."

"Trash!" Li Jiang kicked the little leader, venting his anger.

The little boss didn't dare to dodge, let alone resist.Enduring the pain, he continued to report, "The younger ones went to Shuixiang Hall again, and found that there were few guards there, and there were not many people left. It seems that the main force has been moved away."

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Li Jiang dropped the teacup in his hand and kicked the kneeling person on the ground. "A bunch of waste, what's the use of raising you!"

The little boss didn't dare to argue, he was beaten on his knees.

Li Jiang became angrier as he watched, "Get out." He yelled angrily and drove people away.

The little boss withdrew respectfully, although he secretly let out a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to show it, and left Li Jiang's sight in fear.

Inside the house, the Li family sat on the mahogany glazed chair, unable to calm down for a long time.

Ren Bank, you actually make me a monkey!
When the chess king wins Mi Zhuang, he will definitely take this girl back to his mansion, and use all the toys in his hand on her, which frustrates her!

I want to see, when you kneel on the ground begging me like a dog, will you still be able to hear that white neck!
Li Jiang thought about tonight's actions again.

That city wall is not a no-man's land, and if I go up to light the fire tonight, I will definitely encounter a fierce battle.

If we go tonight, the future is unpredictable, maybe I will explain it here.

I thought that being able to capture Ren Bank would be considered a reward for me, but who knew that this group of trash would not be able to capture even a woman.

Li Jiang's thoughts surged, and he became more and more angry, and the evil fire was about to burst out.

At this moment someone came in.

Li Jiang saw that it was his father.

As soon as Li Ren entered the room, he could see that his son was in a different mood.

"No one caught?"

When Li Jiang heard this, he felt even more depressed.

"That woman is extremely cunning, our people arrived late, and it was all in vain."

Li Ren frowned.

Li Jiang's situation is not right.

When he met that Ren Bank, he seemed to be very excited, and it was easier to lose his mind.This is not a good sign.

"You will be in charge of the Li family in the future, with your current mentality, how can you make me feel at ease!"

Li Jiang didn't expect his father to think like this.

Li Ren said again: "Fortunately, you are still an official in Luoyang. Look at yourself? You've lost your head because of a woman!"

Li Jiang was dumbfounded by Li Ren's scolding.

"What's the matter with Luoyang?" Li Jiang asked back.

"When you are an official in the current state, you are appointed to make people eat until there are no bones left, and you will also hurt your ancestors' foundation." Li Ren expressed his inner worries.

Li Jiang felt that his father's worries were completely nonsense.He just wanted to put Ren Bank in the palm of his hand, of course he could tell the importance of a woman and family business.

My father looked down on me too much.

Li Ren was completely immersed in his own thoughts.He thought of those beauties in history who were troublesome, those second-generation emperors who ruined the country by doing wrong.

He is really worried.The emperor is like this, let alone his own son?

Li Jiang has always been high-minded, wanting face, and cruel, but he has always been witty.

This was good at first, the Li family's wealth attracted people's attention, and it was nothing to be cruel as his heir.

You are not ruthless, some people are more ruthless than you.

But the current situation is clearly beyond expectations.

"You should resign from your official position in Luoyang as soon as possible. Come back and take care of the family affairs." Li Ren made up his mind.

Li Jiang was naturally unwilling.

"Father! This is an official position earned by the son himself. How can he just resign?" His tone was a little hasty, and he was more dissatisfied with his father's meddling.

"With your current crazy situation, if you continue to stay in the officialdom, you may be used by others one day, and your whole family will be spoiled!"

"You don't trust me! You still treat me like a child!" Li Jiang was angry and anxious.

The feeling of being slighted by his father hurt his self-esteem, and he was more eager to prove himself.

"Can I not know which one is more important, a woman or a family business? I didn't do all this to give the Li family more resources!"

"Excellent!" Li Ren yelled at the case angrily, "You are clearly out of selfishness! Maybe you have money and soldiers in mind, but your selfishness must account for more!"

Li Jiang couldn't argue with anything.

Li Ren had already decided that he had selfish intentions and messed up his position for the sake of women, so no matter how he explained it to his father, it would be a sophistry.

"It's unreasonable!"

"Bastard! How dare you talk to your father like that." Li Ren was so angry at his son's attitude that he became even more unscrupulous, uttering swear words that could be deliberately avoided on weekdays without thinking.

"Either you resign as an official in Luoyang, or you don't want to inherit the Li family!"

After speaking, Li Ren left the room.

Li Jiang didn't expect his father to have such thoughts.

Could it be that he has a new successor?Li Jiang guessed wildly
No, it won't.Li Jiang's control over the Li family should not be underestimated. He didn't believe that someone could do tricks under his nose.

When he thought of the quarrel tonight, he could only attribute it to his father's old foolishness.

The leg injured by his father tortured Li Jiang's heart over and over again. Because the matter of stealing and burning the fort was defeated, the chess king's team is waiting outside the city. Li Jiang has not received any signal for a long time. Blame it on him, and things will not stop.

While complaining that Li Ren is an antique, he wondered if he really had a second illegitimate child, but looking around the entire Li family, although all the women and girls in the Li family were all delicate and beautiful, their stomachs were very flat. Pregnant?

Now that the battle is raging in Mizhuang, Li Jiang thinks that Bank Ren has disappeared suddenly, and knows that it must be not easy.After a while, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, a little servant pushed open the door and fell down on the ground. Li Jiang was startled, and when he looked back, he saw his confidant beside him vomited blood and fell on the spot. He stared wide-eyed, very surprised, hurried forward to help him up, and saw that he was hit by several arrows.

"How is this? Aren't you on the observation deck outside the city?" Li Jiang was anxious.Because he was afraid that the Chess King's team would attack suddenly and hurt his own brothers in the Li family, he randomly pulled more than [-] people from the mansion and arranged them on the observation deck outside Mizhou City, just to be able to report back in time in case of danger.

Little did they know, the little slave tremblingly said, "Outside the city. They are attacking"

After speaking, he loosened his hand, and the little servant fell silent.Li Jiang frowned and thought for a while, feeling very resentful in his heart, not knowing what to do, he threw the stone slab on his leg aside, and hurriedly called a few people over, "Go and see!"

"It's the young master!"

Ten miles outside Mizhuang city.

The moonlight was bright and clear, and dark clouds shrouded the village, and there was no light to be seen thousands of miles away. Ren Bank and Jin Xiaoyan, the head of the family, were lying in the grass, looking around at the mountain peaks ten kilometers away. , I could vaguely see a line of soldiers in battle armor walking around the mountain, the moon in the sky shone with silver light from time to time, and the dark clouds covered the bright moon, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden.Ren Bank looked from a distance and found that there were many troops marching on the mountain, well-equipped, and they had been walking up the mountain. Slowly, the marching speed became very slow. Ren Bank guessed that they should have reached the peak of the mountain.

She stood up and looked up, and saw about dozens of military tents standing on the top of the mountain, with a bright red "chess" flag swaying with the evening wind above, it seems that the information is correct, the chess king's troops are stationed at Here, here is the place where the "obstruction" method was implemented ten kilometers away from the previous delineation.Jin Xiaoyan squinted his eyes and sighed, "This place is too far away, why does it feel like [-] kilometers away?" Ren Bank glanced at the distance, stretched out his hand and roughly measured the distance with his thumb, "Eleventh Kilometers, not much more." The eldest brother and Jin Xiaoyan looked at each other, and looked into Ren Bank's eyes in disbelief. "I think it's still a bit too close," Ren Bank said. "This place is only ten kilometers away, and our terrain is low, while Chess King's troops are on a high terrain. It is easy to find that our fire source is mobile, so we have to find a separate method."

"But in such a dark sky, can you see clearly? I think at this distance, if I want to distinguish something in the distance, it will be very difficult." The elder brother Xue Yinbao stretched out his hand and gestured in front of him.The chess king's troops in the distance are already preparing to rest. According to the previous information, Mizhuang Li Jiang will soon cooperate with them inside and outside, and set a fire in Mizhou City.Time was running out, Ren Bank decided to retreat one kilometer first, and then started to light the thatch on the car.After arriving at the place, the eldest brother quickly lit the thatch with the red stone he brought. At first, there were slight sparks, and then a big fire.
