Chapter 535 You Go Digging Tunnels

Zhu Yunqi's reaction seemed to be within Li Benqian's expectation, but also seemed to be beyond his original imagination.

But at this time, everyone at the banquet had already dispersed.

Naturally galloping on that famous thin horse.

King Han Ming also left with the skinny horse, and before leaving, he made a promise to Li Wenxiang to be king and prime minister, and in the end Zhu Yunxuan finally saw a smile on his face when he saw him for the first time.

When only Liu Zongsheng and Li Wenxiang were left whispering and whispering to each other, Zhu Yunqi gave a sigh of relief.

He stood up and stood in front of the two of them.

"Mr. Liu, Patriarch Li, I've traveled a long distance recently, and I'm too drunk tonight, so I can't stay with you for a long time. I hope you can forgive me."

Li Wenxiang glanced at Zhu Yunqi, then turned his gaze to Li Benqian who was with Zhu Yunqi. Seeing that the eldest son had no expression on his face, he turned to look at Liu Zongsheng.

Liu Zongsheng smiled brightly: "Young Master Zhu went to rest early, today's feast is just for Young Master Zhu to get to know the people in Taiyuan City, I will discuss the matter with No Man's Land in the future."

Seeing Liu Zongsheng opened his mouth, Li Wenxiang agreed at this time: "My lord, please do as you please. If there is a need, the Li family will spare no effort to bring it."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said nothing, but took a few breaths in succession.

He bowed his hands and bid farewell, then he turned around to find the direction to leave, and when he left the banquet area, he saw a servant of the Li family coming out of the corner in the courtyard.

"Wang Ye is going this way. The residence has been arranged for him, and the concubine is waiting for him over there."

Zhu Yunwen's face was unclear, but in his heart he was a little more wary of the Li family's carefulness from top to bottom.

I have long been a useless member of the Ming clan, but after the Li family learned of my identity, they respected themselves as king everywhere, and even Qiuniang also got the name of a princess that had never been seen before.

So careful, but it makes people take care of ah.

Sighing in his heart, Zhu Yunwen nodded lightly: "Please lead the way."

The servant of the Li family bowed and walked in front to lead the way.

And in the courtyard banquet that Zhu Yunqi had just left.

Li Benqian looked at Zhu Yunqi's leaving back and waved his hand.

The lean horses and servants who were serving during the banquet immediately withdrew.

When only the Li family father and son and Liu Zongsheng were left at the banquet, Li Benqian sneered twice.

He clasped his fists and looked at Liu Zongsheng: "The Taibao can feel at ease now. I have already tested this person before, and I have no different intentions. After hearing what I said, my face is frightened and my heart is uneasy."

Liu Zongsheng looked into the dark courtyard with gloomy eyes, and said in a low voice, "But he didn't intend to tell me."

Li Bengan was silent for a while.

Li Wenxiang, who was beside Liu Zongsheng, said with a smile: "It's just a useless person who was deposed by Zhu Ming's clan. Naturally, he is careful in doing things. He must have warned me. If there is another time, I will definitely tell you. Yu Taibao."

Li Benqian immediately said: "It is true what my father said, the man was sullen, and he did warn his son, if there is another next time with my Li family, he will inform Yu Taibao."

After finishing speaking, Li Benqian looked at Liu Zongsheng silently.

Li Wenxiang, who was on the side, also stared at him with a smile on his face.

Liu Zongsheng's eyes turned, and he suddenly smiled: "We want to achieve great things, and we should be careful in everything. Now it is considered that he has no dissent. In the future, we can take advantage of his wisdom to bring down Naming as soon as possible. Ting."

Li Benqian beat his father, bowed his hands and said: "The Taibao is very talented, and he will surely succeed and achieve great things!"

Liu Zongsheng smiled, but said quietly: "It is the holy religion that has made great achievements, not a certain family."

Li Benqian froze for a moment, then looked at his father.

Li Wenxiang waved his hand and gave Li Bengan a look.

The father and son said in unison: "The great cause of the holy religion is the great cause of the Taibao. The Li family must follow the Taibao to achieve the great cause!"

The smile on Liu Zongsheng's face was even wider, but there were a few strands of cold light hidden in his eyes that no one noticed.

He waved his hand: "Let's come here today, and I will bother Li's family soon. Everything will be rewarded with Li's family for the help now when the great cause of the holy religion is successful."

After that, he got up.

The Li family father and son were busy seeing each other off.

After Liu Zongsheng also left from the courtyard here, the father and son of the Li family looked at each other and smiled after a long time.

The two returned to the banquet.

Li Bengan refilled a glass of wine for his father.

He whispered: "Zhu Yunxuan did not dare to agree, but my son thinks that no one in the world is greedy for the throne. It is only because of the first meeting today that he is vigilant. Otherwise, he would have met Liu Zongsheng on the spot." State what your son said to him today."

Li Wenxiang's eyes were shining, and he didn't look like he was drunk at all. He leaned on the voucher behind him: "If you can guess this, Liu Zongsheng can guess it too. But you see, he just asked One sentence. Therefore, we will never do the matter of wooing Zhu Yunqi in the future."

Li Benqian showed eagerness on his face: "Could it be that our Li family really wants to be that stepping stone for Liu Zongsheng? He can coerce King Han Ming, why can't our Li family control Zhu Yunqi?"

With a trace of sternness on Li Wenxiang's face, he glanced at Li Benqian: "Confused! If we move again at this time, wouldn't Liu Zongsheng secretly investigate my Li family? If the incident has not started yet, even if he really did, the time will come In time."

"In time for what?"

Li Benqian couldn't understand.

The cooperation between Shanxi Merchants and White Lotus Sect was never sincere.

The Shanxi merchants headed by the Li family want to obtain more benefits and benefits, but today's Da Ming obviously cannot give them.

They are rich in food and money, but have no place to spend it.

Comparing wealth is not the only pleasure and pursuit for the Li family and Shanxi merchants.

Therefore, before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect, which existed all the way back to the Tang Dynasty, became the first choice of Shanxi merchants.

Use the hands of the White Lotus Sect to stir up chaos in the world. At that time, beacons will be ignited all over the Central Plains, and the White Lotus Sect will provoke uprisings everywhere.When there are uprising armies everywhere in the world, Shanxi merchants can choose the most potential one among them.

Or, the Shanxi merchants themselves elected a rebel army along the way.

And all of this will have to wait until the Shanxi Merchants control everything in the White Lotus Sect except people.

At that time, they can backhand Liu Zongsheng and others to suppress them.

The world has become the time for Shanxi merchants to call the shots.

relatively.

The father and son of the Li family also knew that Liu Zongsheng was wary of the Jin merchants through the White Lotus Sect under King Han Ming's control.

Liu Zongsheng only wanted the money and food that the Li family and Shanxi merchants had accumulated over the years, as well as the people who had been bought by the government and local guards over the years.

Liu Zongsheng is cruel and merciless, definitely not the peace he usually shows.

He will never tolerate the day when he achieves great success, and a group of Shanxi merchants told everyone that the reason why Liu Zongsheng was able to achieve great success was all due to the Li family and Shanxi merchants providing him with money and food, and dredging his joints.

The two parties are purely using the relationship, and they know it well, but they are both tacit to each other.

Because of the short-term common interests, they came together.

Li Wenxiang had a smile in his eyes: "Wait until the day when Zhu Yunxuan sees Liu Zongsheng clearly, or when he finds out that Liu Zongsheng will not keep him until the end. At that time, Zhu Yunxuan will definitely think of the flower you talked to him today. When that time comes, That's when we fully control him."

Li Bengan shut up and meditated, thinking about what his father said.

Li Wenxiang looked at the eldest son who had high hopes, and said in a low voice: "Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes, but he called himself a Hanchen everywhere, and he would not change it until he died. Now, as long as we have Zhu Yunqi in our hands, the hearts of the people in this world will be in our hands." hands.

With the banner of Zhu Yunqi, there is righteousness.The imperial court's implementation of the New Deal in the past two years has already aroused resentment from the local people.As long as Liu Zongsheng stirs up chaos in the world, we will be loyal ministers on the side of King Qing!

Former Tang...Later Tang...

My Li family has been the blood of the royal family since ancient times, so why not be in charge of the Central Plains throne again! "

There was a gleam in Li Benqian's eyes.

Hundreds of years ago, Li Tang's world also started from this Taiyuan city.

Now, his Li family should do the same.

The bright moon shines brightly, sprinkled in the courtyard through the shade of trees.

The father and son of the Li family discussed for a while, even late at night.

……

Taiyuan City was quiet for several days, and nothing major happened.

It's just heard on the street, probably because the New Year is approaching, many people are always missing a few things when they go out.

Five full days.

Zhu Yunwen stayed in the residence arranged by the Li family.

The residence is not in the Li Mansion compound, but in the courtyard of a private house between the Li Mansion and Jin Wang Mansion.

The surrounding courtyards are now arranged as residences for Liu Zongsheng and his party.

Because Zhu Yunwen was appreciated by Liu Zongsheng, just now and Qiuniang owned a courtyard alone.The yard is not big, but it was cleaned up by Qiuniang in just a few days.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that they were going to live in Taiyuan City for the rest of their lives.

Although, in women's hearts, they are still full of worries about the future.

at dusk.

Zhu Yunqi was stacking bricks and stones under the courtyard wall, preparing to fill the last gap in the courtyard wall.

In the courtyard, Qiuniang leaned out of the kitchen and looked outside the courtyard wall.

"Erlang, my concubine cooked oily beans and stewed the mutton that Mr. Liu sent today, would you like a few cups?"

Zhu Yunqi stood up from under the courtyard wall, stretched his head over the courtyard wall, and looked into the courtyard: "It will take a while, and I will go in for dinner after I am done."

Qiuniang wiped the sweat off her face with her apron, looking at the man who was busy in this small yard with a happy smile on her face.

She turned around and went back to the kitchen, preparing to fry two more rare vegetables sent by Liu Zongsheng at this time, so that Erlang could drink two more sips of wine and take a good rest after heavy work.

Zhu Yunqi outside the courtyard wall was really repairing the courtyard wall, but while he was busy, there were already a few small stones on the bottom of the wall under his feet.

It was the signal he had agreed with Zhang Hui.

After filling up the dilapidated part of the last section of the courtyard wall, Zhu Yunqi directly wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, glanced at both ends of the alley, then let out a long breath, pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards the kitchen .

late at night.

The moon is shining brightly as usual.

It's just that under this bright moon, I don't know how many unseen things will happen.

When a dark cloud was blown by the wind from a distance and blocked under the bright moon, the night at this moment became the best cover.

A few black shadows flashed between the courtyard walls, moving silently against the shadows under the courtyard walls.

Zhang Hui was wrapped in black clothes, only his eyes hidden under the black veil were exposed, showing a bright luster.

Behind him, there are only two subordinates.

The rest of the people were all waiting for the signal in an empty yard on the next street, ready to respond at any time.

Zhang Hui arrived outside Zhu Yunqi's courtyard, looked at the stones on the ground, turned over and jumped into the courtyard without thinking twice.

After landing, there was no movement under his feet.

The two subordinates behind him also turned over and entered the hospital, landing silently, with two extra daggers quietly in their hands.

The three of them approached the main room slowly.

The sound of a burrowing mouse came from under the window.

After a while, there was the sound of snoring in the room.

But soon, the snoring stopped.

And the door of the house, which was filled with enough oil, was slowly opened.

Zhu Yunxuan bowed out of the room, looked at the three people under the window, did not speak, but walked to a haystack next to the kitchen on his own.

When he was under the haystack, he groped on the ground again, and finally found the wooden cover on the cellar.

Opening the wooden board, Zhu Yunqi jumped in first.

Zhang Hui turned around and gestured to the two of them, and they immediately pressed their feet and hid on both sides of the haystack, while he himself followed Zhu Yunqi into the cellar.

The wooden boards at the mouth of the cellar are covered to make the cellar tightly stitched.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen was already squatting in the cellar with a cat on his body, and lit a joss stick.

The joss stick had been treated by him, and after being lit, the light emitted was only enough to illuminate the space between the two of them, and it was still pitch black outside.

Zhang Hui came closer, frowned and looked at Zhu Yunqi: "What happened, I saw you playing with stones outside the alley today, are you afraid of being discovered?"

Zhu Yunwen snorted and said, "Liu Zongsheng is busy figuring out how to get more money and food from Shanxi merchants, Han Mingwang is busy waiting for the opportunity to kill Liu Zongsheng. They don't have time to stare at me now."

Zhang Hui looked at Zhu Yunqi, nodded and said, "You should be more careful. The decree His Highness gave me is to protect the safety of you and your wife first."

Zhu Yunxuan hummed: "You should buy a yard not far away, and then dig a tunnel to this cellar. If something really happens, I can take Qiuniang away."

Zhang Hui took the incense candle in Zhu Yunqi's hand, shone it around, and then said, "We really need to make this kind of preparation, don't worry, we will buy a yard and dig a tunnel to come over in these two days."

Seeing that Zhang Hui listened to persuasion.

Zhu Yunwen said again: "You have to prepare a way to escape from Taiyuan City in advance, it is best to dig a tunnel to get out of the city!"

This time Zhang Hui was a little speechless.

He stared at Zhu Yunqi seriously, wanting to see if the other party was joking with him.

Zhu Yunqi nodded heavily and said: "It's really necessary to dig a tunnel out of the city! Even if you don't need to run away, you can still let people sneak into the city!"
