Chastity Layman

  Chapter 89 How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den

  Su Lie doesn't want to get involved in these gossip anymore, he just wants to live a simple life for the rest of his life, and the cable girl is enough.

  Qin Lang asked Su Dingfang to talk alone, and the two sat in the shade of the pear tree outside the cottage.

   "I have an unfeeling request, and I want to ask Su Dalang for help!"

"I'm a small man in the mountains, and I really can't help the majestic Lord Yi. I believe that as long as Yi Guogong sends a letter, the governor of Mingzhou will come to see him immediately, even if it is the military commander of Mingzhou. It's just a fish talisman you can recruit, so why do you need me?"

  Qin Lang looked at Su Lie, who was in his early thirties, tall and burly, with calloused hands. This Hebei native, who started fighting bandits with his father at the age of fifteen and protecting the environment and the people, has been fighting for half his life and is now just a mountain dweller, but it can be seen that Su Dingfang is living a good life even if he lives in seclusion here.

His family was originally a powerful family in Jizhou. He worked as a vanguard general under Dou Jiande for many years, and he probably accumulated a lot of money. Although the Tang Dynasty won the world in the end, these people from Hebei were in a bit of an embarrassing situation, but they experienced two Liu Heitai rebellions. Finally, the court also made it clear that these people are not easy to provoke, so it adjusted its policy and did not dare to oppress the Hebei people too much.

  Su Dingfang’s accumulated family property over the years, although some meat was cut off, at least it was not as confiscated as when Dou Jiande died, and most of it was returned to Su Dingfang.

  Although he has no official position now, his family is also a big landlord, and he has also been involved in some industries and commerce. Although his political career is not satisfactory, he is still quite rich financially.

But Qin Lang thinks that Su Dingfang must always be a little bit unwilling. After all, he has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has been appointed as a noble and a general. Now he is only in his early thirties and stays in the countryside as a poor man. Everyone will have a mentality drop.

What's more, it seems that Su Dingfang in history was conscripted by the court shortly after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne. He first served as the commander of a military commander in Hebei, and then soon followed Li Jing to conquer the Turks. General's job.

It's a pity that because of the impeachment case of Li Jing, although Li Jing was fine in the end, Su Dingfang became the blame. Since then, he has been sitting in the position of General Zhonglang for more than ten years. Su Dingfang was reused again, conquering Western Turks, Baekje, Goguryeo, destroying the Three Kingdoms in three wars, and capturing the three kings. His military achievements were outstanding. In the Gaozong era when the founding generals withered, Su Dingfang became the leader of the military at that time.

   After Li Jing, he is another late-blooming God of War general in Datang.

   "Su Dalang, with all due respect, my aunt will never get along with you." Qin Lang said suddenly.

  Su Dingfang was stunned.

"Don't you think I'm young. In fact, feelings are a thing. A spare tire is always a spare tire. It can't be turned into a normal one. Besides, I don't think my aunt has ever regarded you as a spare tire. She treats you as a brother at most. No matter how silent you are Guarding, you won't keep the flowers blooming to see the moon, let go, this is a relationship that is destined not to blossom and bear fruit. Love is about your love and my wish, but unrequited love is useless."

  Su Dingfang lowered his head.

  Although he didn't understand what the spare tire was, he could still deduce its meaning.

  Actually, he didn’t understand these people in his heart, but ever since he met Xianniang in front of King Xia, he fell in love with her, and as time went by, this love became stronger and stronger.

  In the end, Luo Shixin also won love.

  Luo Shixin died, and he met Xianniang again by accident, thinking that the opportunity had come. But he has been here with her for three years, and Hongxian never responded to his expression at all. He even wanted Taipinglang to recognize him as a foster father, but Xianniang also refused, and only asked Taipinglang to call him master. .

  But Su Dingfang never gave up.

  He got into the horns of his feelings and couldn't get out.

   Today, Qin Lang's words made it clear that he was embarrassed, but he also fully understood that everyone could see that he had no chance.

   "If Miss Xian doesn't drive me away, I will stay with her all the time."

"Wake up, Su Dalang, feelings belong to both sides, not this kind of humble begging, no matter how humble you are, what's the use of being humble. On the other hand, my aunt doesn't like you, you are so stubborn, isn't it difficult for others, isn't this emotional kidnapping ? You are a manly man, do you really want to persecute others like this?"

"If this goes on like this, what happiness is there? Are you happy? Is my aunt happy? Since you can't be a husband and wife, you can't be a lover, why don't you turn this relationship into a family relationship? I think you might as well take the initiative to rest assured and simply propose You have become a righteous brother and sister with my aunt, wouldn't it be good for you to be Taipinglang's uncle?"

  Su Dingfang held his head in his hands, feeling extremely headache.

   "Su Dalang, you are also in your thirties, don't waste your life, find a suitable girl as soon as possible to get married and have children is the right way."

  Thirty-somethings are not yet married, and they are already bachelors in this era. Is it worth showing off?

"A man should think about making meritorious deeds, conferring his wife and children, and don't always think about the love of his children. As long as Su Dalang is willing to help me with this favor, after the matter is completed, I will ask the court to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your merits and help you become an official. ,how?"

   "What can I do for you?" Su Dingfang shook his head.

  Qin Lang cut straight to the point, and no longer twisted around.

"The governor of Youzhou, Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo, are going to rebel. Li Yuan is conferring titles to the heroes of Hebei in private, so that they can recruit troops and horses to respond to the incident. Under the influence of Su Dalang's prestige, the old general who was still in the old Ministry of King Dou was still living in seclusion. Here, Su Dalang, you are second to none, Li Yuan will definitely send someone to contact and persuade you, right?"

  Su Dingfang glanced at Qin Lang, and found that this young man was too clever, his wisdom was close to that of a monster. Those emotional words just now sounded like an old wise man, but now they point out the matter of Li Yuan contacting him.

"Since you have already guessed it, then I will not hide it from you. Li Yuan did indeed send someone to find me, saying that he wanted to raise a flag to avenge the old prince and King Xia, and that he wanted to be sidelined by the Qing emperor. He was also named the Duke of the county, but I did not agree."

  Qin Lang smiled, "But Su Dalang, you didn't report this kind of rebellion to the government, it's treason!"

  Su Dingfang did not report to the government, nor did he plan to report it. Although he did not intend to participate in the rebellion, he did not intend to report to the government. After all, he still had resentment towards the Tang Dynasty in his heart.

"Su Dalang, do me a favor, I'll cover up this matter for you." Qin Lang stretched out his hand to stop Su Lie's refusal, "It's actually not troublesome, isn't Li Yuan going to pull you to rebel, just promise him for now, Then you recruit some people to join forces in Youzhou."

  Su Lie looked at Qin Lang suspiciously.

   "This kind of thing is not a joke. Even if I pretend to agree to him, what about recruiting people? These applicants will all participate in the conspiracy."

"Leave me to deal with the recruitment of troops. You just said that with my official position, I can indeed temporarily mobilize some local government soldiers and state and county soldiers. Then you will take me and those officers and soldiers to Youzhou .”

Su Lie was amazed at Qin Lang's bold plan, "If Li Yuan really rebelled, Youzhou would become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Although Li Yuan is incompetent, his in-law Wang Junkuo is first-class brave, and the governor of Northern Yanzhou Shen, he is Luo Yi's former subordinate, and he is also a hero who has been guarding the frontier for a long time, so if you go there like this, aren't you afraid that the sheep will fall into the tiger's mouth if you reveal your secret?"

   "Knowing that he is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, that's why I decided to venture in. If I don't enter the tiger's lair, how can I catch a tiger's cub?"

   "Sure enough, he is indeed a sixteen-year-old duke of the state and a young man of the Zhu state, amazing!" Su Lie exclaimed.

"It's so so, I think Su Dalang, you went to the battlefield when you were fifteen years old, and you were invincible. But I, Uncle Luo, was only fourteen years old when I was holding a uniform, but I was able to wear a three-layer armor and charge into the bandit army. No block. Compared with you, I am far behind."

  Su Lie shook his head, "We don't have such good luck as you!"

   sighed a few times, "Do you have any detailed plans, you won't just barge in like this?"

   "There is no plan for the time being, it is good to keep the same in response to all changes."

   "It's okay without a plan."

"The plan is to play by ear. As long as we enter Youzhou City, there will be a lot of opportunities. When the time comes, we will capture the thief first, the king first, the man first and the horse, kill Wang Junkuo, and capture Li Yuan, Wang Shen, etc. alive. Now that the head of the bandit has been punished, and then the imperial edict is issued, I believe it will be able to deter Youzhou." Qin Lang said.

   "Aren't you afraid of being found out, or even if you capture Li Yuan and the others, the rebels will rush up and chop you into mincemeat?"

"Civil officials are not greedy for money, and generals are not afraid of death. Since I have come, I have never thought of being afraid of words. Besides, I did not come alone. Shuang Shiluo, Qiu Shi, Qi Shanxing, Cheng Mingzhen, Guo Xiaoke, the governors and governors of Hebei, but They are all the prince's people."

  Su Dingfang thought about it for a while.

"It's true that Li Yuan named me the governor and governor of Mingzhou, but he wants me to recruit troops here, raise the flag and raise the flag, and then force the original governor of Mingzhou, the magistrate of the governor, and the captains of the army to rebel. If they don't Ken, he asked me to kill them and occupy the state treasury to respond to Youzhou, but he didn’t say that I should go to Youzhou.”

"What's the matter? I can let the governor of Mingzhou and the governors and commanders cooperate with you to put on a play. At that time, Mingzhou will raise the flag of righteousness for the first time in response, and then we will lead our troops north to Youzhou to meet Li Yuan. This is not a matter of course. Is it wrong? Li Yuan is afraid that he will be happy before it's too late, how could he expect you to sing with him like this."

  Su Dingfang was amazed that Qin Lang had so many ghost ideas, and he could come up with them easily.

   "At the end of the day, Saburo, you just want to act in my name. Even if I refuse, it won't affect you, will it?"

   "Then how can it be the same? Now is an extraordinary time, and I really need the help of your fierce vanguard, who is the enemy of all people."

   "I'm temporarily conscripting Su Dalang and you as Zhenfu Si You Sima, from the sixth rank!"

  Compared to Li Yuan's position as governor and governor of Mingzhou, Sima, the governor of Liupin, is very ordinary, but Su Dingfang smiled and took it.
