The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 142 Ruan Guogong Raises Troops to Eliminate Traitors

Two days later, as soon as the sky was bright, Duan Siming got up in his clothes and walked to the gazebo in the courtyard of the post house alone.Sitting in the pavilion, he watched the blooming flowers next to him, and couldn't help being lost in thought, "If you can show such flowers on Yaoyao's purple clothes, it must be very beautiful." Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise slightly.

At this moment, Gao Jingsi hurried in from the post house with a smile on his face.It was rare for Duan Siming to see him so happy, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother Gao, you went out so early? What interesting things happened on the way, and it made me happy."

Gao Jingsi walked a few steps quickly, and came to Duan Siming, "Isn't the lord very happy! But I have something to make the lord happier."

Duan Siming waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, tell me quickly! Have you forgotten that this king is a quick temper?"

Gao Jingsi smiled and said: "The brothers I sent to Guluocheng reported this morning that Ruan Gen and Ding Dian had raised troops in Guluocheng, and they will soon kill Hualu, wipe out Li Huan, and eradicate traitors for the country!"

Hearing this, Duan Siming involuntarily tapped his index finger on the stone table in front of him a few times, and more smiles appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's great, as long as Ruan Peng can enter Hualu and destroy Li Huan in one fell swoop, we will go to Dali A strong enemy. As for Ruan Geng, he has always advocated peace, and he is already old, so he will not pose any threat to Dali. As long as my country is stable, my cousin will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, and this king can enjoy himself to the fullest. My grand plan to marry a hundred princesses will be completed as soon as possible!"

Gao Jingsi said with a smile: "Brother Duan, you were smiling so early in the morning, you must have had some good dreams last night. Could it be that you turned yourself into a tailor in your dream and cut a peerless purple dress for Miss Murong yourself? ? In my opinion, you should forget about those grand plans. If you don’t hurry up and get Miss Murong done, I’m afraid you’ll become lovesick before you marry a hundred concubines!”

Duan Siming pointed at Gao Jingsi and laughed a few times, then restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "No, this king and Wan Shaoxia seem to have overlooked a very important thing. If this matter comes true, our plan But it is about to become a bubble!"

Gao Jing thought for a while, and said: "Yeah, we all trust the founding general Ruan Gen too much, but we forget that Li Huan is also an unborn genius! What if he sends troops to serve the king and doesn't kill Li Huan, instead If you are killed by Li Huan, there will be no one in Quyue who can restrain Li Huan!"

Duan Siming nodded, and said: "That's right, since Brother Gao thinks the same way, it means that this matter is possible. No, I have to go to Wan Shaoxia to discuss it. If he doesn't agree, I will take advantage of the battle between the two sides." Take him away!" He stood up hurriedly and ran out of the gate of the post house.

Gao Jingsi quickly chased after him, grabbed him, and said, "No, Wan Shaoxia is now in Li Huan's mansion, how can you explain to Li Huan by rushing over like this? You can only kill Wan Shaoxia! If you want me to say, it's better to wait for Li Huan When Huan goes out of the city to fight, we can go to Li Mansion and lead people to get twice the result with half the effort."

Duan Siming stopped when he heard the words, thought about it in his mind, and then said: "Alright, let's wrong Wan Shaoxia again in the next few days. I believe that with his intelligence, he will not be easily killed by Li Huan."

A group of children suddenly ran past the posthouse, interrupting Duan Siming's thoughts, "One horizontal and one vertical king's hegemony, the first minister came to usurp the country..." Many immature voices repeated the same two sentences over and over again, constantly echoing In the ears of the two, it also echoed in the streets and alleys of Hualu and Guluo City. For a while, Qu Yue's political situation changed drastically in the hands of several people.

That night, the bright moon was in the sky.

The night sky was cloudless, and the moonlight shone transparently on the courtyard wall of the Li Mansion, reflecting a wide and long shadow. Behind the Li Mansion was the mansion of Duke Dingguo Ruan Bow in Beijing.Since Ruan Peng left Beijing to station in Guluocheng, the mansion seemed very deserted, which formed a stark contrast with Li Huan's mansion.The two mansions both occupy quite a large area, separated only by a long and narrow road, which looks gloomy and depressing under the shadows.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed and hid in this path.I saw this black figure tiptoeing to the back wall of Li Mansion, as if he was afraid of attracting others' attention, he stood by the wall for a long time before he bravely jumped up and lightly leaped into Li Mansion.

The black shadow's movement skills are excellent, not only easily crossed the more than ten feet high courtyard wall, but also fell on the ground like a stream of water, without making the slightest sound.He held his breath, looked around with both eyes, and saw that there was no one around, so his heart fell into his belly.

The moonlight reflected on his slightly dirty face, making him look more energetic and playful than in daytime.He took down the wine gourd from his waist, poured a few sips of wine into his mouth, and then slightly opened his clenched left hand, revealing a few crotons in his palm.

He looked at these crotons, and sighed leisurely, "Oh, if you want to live, you have to suffer. If this young hero really left with Li Huan, when he found out that I was lying to him, he would have to kill me ? Rather than being killed by him with a knife like that, I would rather use these stolen crotons to have a catastrophe, at least it’s better than losing my head.”

Then he patted his stomach again, and said with a helpless smile: "I'm sorry, brother belly! Afterwards, I will buy some gourds and good wine, and I will make up for you!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion from the courtyard, as if something had been lost in the mansion, and everyone was looking for it.Just as he was curious, he wanted to hide aside and watch the fun, when he heard Li Huan angrily scolding his subordinates from a distance, "You bastards! This king has repeatedly told you to keep an eye on Wan Jianfeng, you guys Are you taking Ben Wang’s words as a deaf ear? This king has only been reviewing a few memorials in the study, and you have lost him to this king? Do you not have eyes, or do you have eyes on your buttocks!”

One of the seemingly clever servants pondered for a while and said, "My lord, I just saw Wan Shaoxia holding his stomach. Could it be that he is going to the latrine now?"

"Go to the latrine?" Li Huan murmured half-believingly, and then said: "Take a few people to the latrine to have a look, if you can't find any more people, I will definitely not spare you!"
