Aspiration

Chapter 22 The Hunter Approaches
Lu Taigong could no longer be calm. The knowledge gained in 83 is also worthless. Now, what he is facing is that if he wants [-] dans of food, it will still be the life of his Lu family.Of course, the more important thing is his own life.

The pale and weak Taigong Lu presided over today's meeting with some reluctance.

Speech is incoherent and the voice is weak, a scene before death makes the Lu family's former majesty seem to disappear like a cloud of smoke.

Taigong Lv made a move, everyone was discussing, buzzing, no one said aloud to a serious topic, they just lamented, or a few yes, yes, or some nonsense like how did you get it.

Suddenly, a voice attracted everyone's attention. Huang Shigeng's nephew, Huang Xiang, was crying as if he was singing.

"My Uncle Geng, you died so hard. Didn't Li Chuang just ask you for a few loads of food? Isn't food just for food? You can't bear it, but your head is gone and your mouth is gone. What do you use? What about food? Oh, my Uncle Geng, you have lived for decades for nothing, and you don’t even have the knowledge I have. Isn’t it just a few loads of food? Do you need to protect it with your life? You said you were afraid that the Lu family would sue you, Now, no one is suing you, but you were beheaded, is it worth it? Oh, my Uncle Geng, can't you stay in Huangshizhai well? Listen to the order of the Lu family, come here all the way, and throw your life here It’s too late, isn’t it a pity? The Lu family is the Lu family, and the Huang family is the Huang family. They can’t be separated, and they are neither relatives nor close neighbors. Why bother? My uncle Geng.” Li Laiheng was about to cry , some people can't stand it anymore.

Lu Taigong said: "Nephew Huang, I don't blame you for saying that. But you have also seen that it was Li Chuang who killed your Uncle Geng. How can we blame our Lu family? Well, let's not talk about it for the time being." Ti, let me ask you, can you see the person who killed your Uncle Geng?"

"I see, wow, they also said a lot to us. Everyone in our Huang family heard it."

"Oh!" 200 people oh at the same time.

"What did they say?"

"They say that King Li Chuang is the true son of heaven, and it is Ziwei Xing who descended to earth to save the common people. Shangluo Mountain is the place where he descended to earth, and he wants to establish a base here. The people in Shangluo Mountain are all his people. He does not kill the people of Shangluo Mountain, but those who dare to resist the destiny will be killed without mercy. They said that those who send military rations will be counted, and they will be repaid double in the future. And ah, the rations of the villages will not be moved, they just need to save the rations .Our Uncle Geng just can’t turn the corner. It’s good to promise them, maybe in the future King Li Chuang will really conquer the world, and he will still be a hero. Now it’s good, I’m no longer a person, I’ve become a ghost.”

What words!Some people cursed in their hearts.Is this Huang Xiang innocent or stupid?My grandfather was still a court minister, but he said some outrageous things, wouldn't he be afraid that someone would sue him in the future?

Sue him?His grandfather is the imperial censor, suing him, isn't he looking for death?

More people think, yes, food is naturally important, but is it more important than life?Huang Shigeng is a role model. Not only does not a grain of food belong to him anymore, but now even the air does not belong to him.It seems that this lesson must be learned.If intruders come to ask for food, give them some quickly.

After pondering for a while, Grandpa Lv made a decision and agreed to exchange food for people.

But how can we send [-] dans of grain over there?

Li Laiheng had been waiting for his words for a long time.He said, it's easy to handle. The person who killed Uncle Geng said that if the white flag is raised here, they will come to negotiate.

Everything is going smooth.

The Lu family no longer dared to compete with Li Zicheng, and agreed to hand over [-] dan of grain.What about other ethnic groups and villages?The Lu family is submissive, who can resist?
There were a few families who hated it. They felt that they were harmed by the Lu family. If they didn't participate in this conference, maybe Li Zicheng might not come to them.That's what the Qiu family thinks.

A white flag was hoisted on the wall of the village.

Soon, three people rode into the village.

Li Laiheng thought, he's done, and the [-] dan of grain raised from these dozen surnames and clans is more than enough.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of officers and soldiers entered Lu's village.Ten people and ten good horses can all be called a thousand-mile horse.

Such a neat horse is eye-catching.

As soon as these ten people entered the village, they asked to see the person in charge.They didn't talk about seeing the patriarch or the village master.They knew that people with such big surnames would be domineering. In order to take good care of the old people and handle the affairs in the village properly, there would be a group of young men who were in charge. Therefore, these ten people met the deputy village chief. host.

They were naturally Zhang Shiqi and the players he brought.

Zhang Shiqi didn't ask about Lu Rong's kidnapping, they only cared about the confrontation yesterday.They knew that the person who killed hundreds of people and got back unharmed could only be the one they wanted to hunt.

Therefore, after so many people died, they didn't have the slightest bit of compassion. They thought that these people deserved to die, and they had to personally order the people who were chasing and killing Feng Qian to fight him. Who would die if they didn't die?He didn't care about Lu Rong, nor did he care about delivering food to the intruders. Their affairs were none of his business, because he only cared about Li Laiheng.Li Laiheng's head is valuable, he can bring the Zhang Shiqi brothers back to life.

Brother Zhang Shiqi should have died a long time ago. They turned out to be members of Jin Yiwei, a lieutenant under Qianhu.These two brothers are brave and ferocious, clever and cunning. Seeing that the credits are accumulating more and more, the promotion is just around the corner.However, for a small matter, the eunuch beside the emperor was killed.The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were very powerful, and it was not easy to kill an eunuch.Therefore, it is not unjust at all for the two brothers to be sentenced to death.However, Feng Qian knew about this matter, and he also understood the talents of Zhang Shiqi brothers. He felt that it was a pity to kill them like this, so he found an excuse and raised them secretly for several years, and now he gave them a chance.Can he not cherish it?
Their goals are clear.The first target is Li Laiheng, he is a warrior, he has more opportunities to show up on the battlefield, and he has a better chance of ambushing two sharp archers to shoot him.The second goal was Li Zicheng. This goal was not the main one, because it was much more difficult to kill Li Zicheng. Many people fought him for more than ten years without pulling out a single hair.

So after Feng Qianshi ordered the matter down that day, the Zhang Shiqi brothers immediately set about forming a hunting team.They are familiar with the situation in Jinyiwei, so it is not difficult to find helpers, and they can find top-notch experts.With the support of Feng Qianshi, it is not difficult to mobilize them.It is not enough to have a few people who can fight and kill. He especially begged Feng Qianshi to send them North and South Arrows.Feng Qianshi readily agreed, and mobilized these two sharp archers from Liaodong and Shanhaiguan to follow Zhang Shiqi's command.It stands to reason that one magic arrow is luxurious enough, and now both of them are coming together, a super luxurious lineup.

There is such a reason.

It's still that unlucky Hong Chengchou, Mr. Hong.As a first-class minister of the imperial court, now he is dismissed from his post and stays at home, how can he not hate him?Who does he hate?He didn't dare to hate the emperor, so he only hated two people. One was his political opponent Yang Sichang, whom he stepped on this time; the other was Li Laiheng.He believed that his future was ruined by the two of them.

He wants to get rid of these two people.

Therefore, he asked Feng Qian to do something.

Feng Qianshi is a good friend of Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou is usually very affectionate to him. In a year, Feng Qianshi always gets a lot of silver taels from Mr. Hong, and he can't remember how much he received.

There was a strange phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty. The most powerful people were eunuchs, and the most powerful person was of course Wei Zhongxian. Before he was killed, how many shrines were built for him in the whole country?Another kind of person is Jin Yiwei. The emperor's secret service agency can interrogate anyone in secret, and its power is extremely excessive. Therefore, it is not surprising that ministers win over senior officials of Jin Yiwei.

This time, Zhang Shiqi came here specifically to hunt and kill Li Laiheng.He believed that the leader of the battle that day was Li Laiheng, and no one under Li Zicheng had used this kind of formation yet.

The deputy head of the Lu family gave Zhang Shiqi a detailed introduction to yesterday's battle.Zhang Shiqi listened intently.This murderous demon king has seen many formations, but this is the first time he has heard of the scene described by Deputy Village Master Lu.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Shiqi asked the two archers.

They smiled disdainfully.

There is no one in this world who can survive after they shot.What they regret is that Gu Fu's speed of making arrows is too slow.They stubbornly only use arrows made of grain symbols.

It is also easy to understand that it is not easy to achieve a famous name, and they cherish their own reputation like their lives, which is why they are stubborn.

For this kind of arrows, they use special containers to pack them.Disposable, once used and never recycled.Therefore, an arrow is worth 1000 taels of silver.

Li Laiheng saw that the negotiators left safely soon, and knew that the Haikou he had boasted about had come true, and a stone in his heart really fell to the ground.However, just as he was thinking about getting away, a middle-aged man from Lu middle-aged suddenly came over and invited him into the main room, he had something to ask.

Li Laiheng was slightly startled, had he been seen through?

It doesn't matter if you figure it out.

Li Laiheng was in Lujiazhai, even if he was alone, it would not be difficult for him to escape completely.So, he calmly followed the man into the main room.

Is there a powerful ambush, or seeing a powerful person, or is there a powerful mechanism here?Caution is the first element of special forces, of course, adventure is also the endowment of special forces.He smelled danger.
