I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 228 What Do You Say About Pharmacist Li?

Li Ke and Xue Rengui were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately led Zhang Chao into the cabin for a secret discussion.If everything goes well, then this trip by myself will not be as simple as delivering food.

……

slippery state.

The original majestic state capital city has been occupied by rioters.

The ugliness in human nature is like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage. Once it is released, it dares to break through the bottom line of all rules. The little sheep in the past can also turn into a terrifying beast.People who followed the rules in the past may also become terrible murderers.They are like beasts that have tasted the first ray of blood, showing their fangs that were hidden in the past, and began to frantically look for prey.

The hustle and bustle of the past is gone, only random people in twos and threes wandering on the street.From day to night, violent incidents such as beatings, smashing, and looting would occur in the city from time to time. For a while, everyone was in danger, and the doors of every house were closed tightly, lest they would suffer disaster.

Disorder and chaos have cut off pedestrians in this north-south traffic city.

But today, a group of rather embarrassed guests came.A group of more than a dozen people, everyone carried a knife and a sword, and many of them were still wounded.It was the dozen or so guards who escaped from Zhang Yansheng's camp.After escaping that day, they didn't dare to cross the river directly, and hid until late at night before sneaking across Yingshui and heading straight for Huazhou.After a group of people showed their identities at the city gate, they were quickly hung up on the city gate and taken to the government office.

"Why did you come back, where is Cui Xingzhou?"

A tall, mighty-looking man in the main seat frowned and asked coldly.

"Emissary Cui - dead..."

A middle-aged man in the lead replied with some difficulty, not daring to look up into the eyes of these people in the hall.

"died?"

There was a sudden exclamation in the hall, and the mighty man on the main seat had an ugly expression on his face.

"How did you die?"

Listening to the middle-aged man's narration, the faces of the people in the hall were a little gloomy.A man in a brocade robe who was only 27 or [-] years old snorted coldly.

"Then Cui Xingzhou is such a waste, he can even mess up such a trivial matter, it's really not a pity to die!"

"Wang Kuang—"

The mighty man on the main seat couldn't help frowning, and gave him a cold look, and the brocade-robed man named Wang Kuang turned his head away resentfully, but his face was very dissatisfied.The mighty man looked around at the other individuals in the hall, and waved his hands impatiently.

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Now that Cui Xingzhou is dead, what about the mess he left behind?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Originally, our power in Huainan was relatively weak, and the family didn't want to expose too much power to attract the attention of the higher-ups, so we wanted to take the opportunity to help Zhang Yansheng. Now Cui Xingzhou is dead. Now, the people we arranged have been exposed, I'm afraid that Zhang Yansheng will no longer obediently listen to our arrangements."

An old man with a goatee tapped his fingers on the table lightly, shaking his head and said.

"Mr. Lu is worrying too much. So what if it is exposed? It is a waste like Cui Xingzhou who can ruin such a simple matter. Don't think about how Zhang Yansheng came all the way here. We will provide it in private. I won’t talk about the weapons and equipment, but let’s talk about the food. Without our support, their people will starve within three days. If you dare to be disobedient, let me try it?”

The brocade-robed man named Wang Kuang smiled coldly and sat back on his seat indifferently.Everyone else's eyes lit up.Although this kid from the Wang family speaks harshly and is outrageously arrogant, his knowledge is really good.

"All the way you have come, have you ever heard of Zhang Yansheng's follow-up actions? Then Wang Zian broke into his big tent and killed Cui Xingzhou in front of him. Didn't he say anything?"

The mighty man looked at the dozen or so guards who had fled back, and his face softened.These people are different from other people, but they are the dead warriors drawn by these families. They are said to be dead warriors, but they are actually being enshrined. These people have no problem with their ability and loyalty, and they are one of the true heritage of a family.They are not from the same family, so naturally they cannot be said to be loyal to Cui Xingzhou.Cui Xingzhou died, so there was nothing wrong with them talking about it.

"After we escaped, we didn't dare to go back to Zhang Yansheng's camp. We don't know what happened between him and Wang Zi'an. But that afternoon, Zhang Yansheng ordered to cross the river. It's his elite."

"So Li Yaoshi's people didn't stop him?"

The old man known as Lu Lao couldn't help but frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"No one who saw Li Yaoshi left the city."

These escaped guards answered very honestly, without any subjective emotions of their own.This is their habit of doing things. It is good to leave the thinking to those masters. What I need to do is to be the sharpest sword in their hands.

"Could it be that Zhang Yansheng has defected to the imperial court?"

A middle-aged man with a somewhat wide and fat body suddenly interrupted and said something.Before anyone else could speak, the brocade robed Wang Kuang had already sneered.

"How does Pharmacist Li support them? Are you counting on the little military funds that the imperial court gave him?"

"Then what if Li Yaoshi attacks the wealthy households in the city?"

The fat man blushed from Wang Kuang's choking, twisted his neck and said stubbornly.That Wang Kuang snorted coldly, turned his face away, and stopped talking to him, which made the old man tremble with anger.On the contrary, the old man surnamed Lu couldn't stand it any longer, so he explained.

"Then Li Yaoshi didn't dare—although this man is proficient in the art of war and uses soldiers like a god. But he is timid and fearful by nature. When he defeated the Turks, captured Jieli Khan alive, and shocked Chang'an. Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, impeached him The army has no way, and when he broke Jieli Khan's tooth tent, he allowed the soldiers to plunder the treasure. He didn't dare to stand up and defend himself, lest His Majesty would take the opportunity to trouble him. Such a person, how dare he risk the power of the world? Don't you want to plunder the people's money and food to feed the rebellious people?"

"When Li Jiancheng was fighting with His Majesty, he stayed at home, trying not to offend, and now he finally got his retribution—"

A young man with a thin face, as if his body had been hollowed out by alcohol, sneered, rather gloating.

"No matter how you say it, Li Jing should not be underestimated. This man has a deep chest and he uses soldiers like a god. No matter how careful we are, we can't be too careful."

The mighty man on the main seat raised his head after pondering for a moment.

"Since this is the case, let's leave him alone for now. Inform Zhengzhou that after three days, we will move westward and go straight to the capital—"

"Then what should Pharmacist Li do? If he takes advantage of our army's mobilization and pursues him from tail to tail, then we may be in serious trouble..."

The old man surnamed Lu frowned and reminded him aloud.

"Hehe——I'm afraid that he will hide in the city and won't come out. Didn't Li Yaoshi come here to prevent us from entering the Guanxi? But now the government soldiers in various places have been paralyzed, and he has only a few soldiers. Trapped in Xuzhou, trying to use Xuzhou's fortified city to drag us here. If we don't care about him and go west, what do you think will happen to Li Yaoshi?"
