Da Wei Chun

Chapter 573 Showdown
At the beginning of spring, with Li Chengzhi's instruction, Guo Yuzhi bought the mansion back from Zhongguan Jia Can, and started construction.Today, there are several turrets in the front and back gardens of the Li Mansion.

Although it dare not be compared with Wubao in Jingzhou, the walls are high and the courtyard is deep.The courtyard wall is more than ten feet wide, not to mention horse racing, and driving is no problem.

There are many retainers on the wall, all of them stand by with bows.Li Chengzhi also specially asked Li Rui to fetch his matching bow and iron feather arrow.As long as Cui Guang said, if someone dares to show off in front of Li's house, Li Chengzhi will let him know what "people and horses are connected" means.

After waiting for a while, there were soldiers indeed coming towards Li's residence.But it is completely different from what Li Chengzhi imagined:
There were only a dozen or so people who came, neither the flags of the Northern Conquest Army nor the ceremonial guard of General Gao Zhao of the Northern Conquest, not even a pole flag.Just like that, he came to the north without any hurry.

There is no rush to go, just like going out on a green trip.The queue is also scattered and chaotic, and there is no formation at all.

What kind of demonstration is this, it seems to be here for fun?
With half a mile left, Li Chengzhi squinted his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Ape, let's take a look. The first one to ride is Gao Sikong?"

Li Rui's archery skills are superb, and his eyesight is excellent.After a short glance, he was seventy to eighty percent sure: "Lang Jun, you are really Gao Sikong!"

Just as he was responding, Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, as if extremely surprised, "Why did everyone get off their horses?"

Why else?

Seeing the dozens of people riding off their horses and walking slowly towards the Li Mansion, Li Chengzhi frowned into the word Chuan.

Gao Zhao, I am your aunt?

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, so it is most appropriate to use here.

He is the tree, and Gao Zhao is naturally the wind.

"Everyone goes down the wall... Li Xie, open the door of the mansion. Li Rui, put away your sword and bow, and welcome Gao Sikong with me!"

Li Shixian came over: "What does Gao Zhao intend to do?"

"Reconciliation, the adults don't count the faults of the villains, and so on!"

Li Chengzhi sighed in disappointment, and walked under the wall, "Otherwise, why would he dismount early and come here on foot when he was more than ten feet away? Just to put on the appearance of repaying grievances with virtue and being a virtuous corporal."

Li Shixian was extremely puzzled: "Wouldn't it be just like Lian Po and Lin Xiangru making peace with each other?"

Will be reconciled?
My father dared to think too.

Since he led the army to go out in the winter of last year, and now Gao Zhao has returned from victory, although the two of them have not masked their faces, they fought against each other without knowing how many moves they got right.How many holes they dug for each other, even they themselves can't count.

The inconsistency between power and fire is not enough to describe the current relationship between the two.But if there is a chance, Li Chengzhi will put Gao Zhao to death without hesitation.

He believed that Gao Zhao definitely had the same plan.

Then why is Gao Zhao so hypocritical?
Most likely, he was giving Gao Ying, Yuan Ying and others eye drops, and even pushed Li Chengzhi to the forefront.

Li Chengzhi knew very well that Cui Guang's encounter today seemed to be entrusted by Yuanying, but it might not be because Gaoying secretly acquiesced.

It's just because Gao Ying has been scared by these old foxes, she's a little like a soldier, like a snake, no one looks like a good person.

As for Gao Ying's early involvement in the imperial court, it was more like discovering the wealth code. He was not keen on the "emperor's mind", and wanted to play a game of balance in everything and everywhere.Therefore, he never wanted to see Gao Zhao and Li Chengzhi twisted together to deceive her.

Otherwise, knowing that it would be unfair to Li Chengzhi, why did she still send Gao Zhao into the border, trying to make him handsome?
But now Gao Zhao has won the victory and returned to Beijing, traveling thousands of miles away.He didn't even enter the city, he didn't even enter his home, and he didn't even enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor, but he came to see Li Chengzhi first.He even put on an appearance of shaking hands and making peace, and taking the initiative to show his goodwill, let Li Chengzhi take it or not?
If he is arrogant and treats him indifferently, then the good reputation he has worked so hard to accumulate in the past six months will disappear in an instant.On the contrary, they will be regarded as defiant and ignorant of good and evil.

What would Gao Ying, Yuan Ying, Cui Guang and the others think if they resolved their suspicions and reunited with Gao Zhao?
It is unavoidable to scold him for being double-faced and capricious.

In the words of later generations, it means that the human design has collapsed.

Since the two sides are not human, Gao Ying has offended Gao Ying a lot anyway, so he can only choose the lesser of the two powers' harm, and it is more shameless to compare who is more shameless.

It's also a good time to find out what Gao Zhaoan's heart is.

Li Chengzhi quickly stepped down the courtyard wall, three steps in parallel to welcome him out of the mansion gate, Gao Zhao had already reached the steps.

Without waiting for Gao Zhao to say anything, Li Chengzhi cupped his hands and saluted deeply, and bowed deeply: "Sikong's visit makes the humble house luxuriant, and the juniors are even more terrified..."

Gao Zhao responded with a smile: "Why do you need such a status between you and me?"

Speaking of supporting Li Chengzhi, he started talking about the old days with Li Shixian who was on the side.It's like a brother who hasn't seen for many years, only to shed two tears.

Like eating a fly, Li Chengzhi was so disgusted that he had to smile.

Shameless compared to Gao Zhao, it seems that he is still inferior...

Cursing inwardly, Li Chengzhi glanced back subconsciously.The ten or so people below the steps are all fully armored and standing respectfully. They should be Gao Zhao's personal guards.

Just like Gao Zhao, these people were very respectful, but Li Chengzhi always felt that something was wrong.

Back and forth, looking at it several times, Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the square shield slung across the hook on the horse's back.

Gao Zhao came in such a hasty way, how could he have thought that he would greet him with a bow and arrow?
I'm afraid this old thief just took advantage of the sheep and made double preparations, really intending to demonstrate?
Even if he became angry from embarrassment and turned his sword and bow at each other, he couldn't really kill Gao Zhao blatantly.On the contrary, it can let him take the first step to occupy the righteousness. If he wants to deal with him with extraordinary means in the future, he can be regarded as a famous teacher.

If you don't fall for it, just like now, no matter how disgusting you are, you have to endure it.Naturally, Gao Zhao's reputation will be gained, but on the contrary, he will be reduced to the image of a villain who is humble and inconsistent.

This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and it is also a conspiracy.

Disgusting was just the second thing. What surprised Li Chengzhi was that Gao Zhao's move was clearly telling him that he was not going to play tricks with him, but for real?

Why are you in such a hurry?
Li Chengzhi's thoughts changed suddenly, and he didn't even pay attention to the hypocritical politeness of Gao Zhao and Li Shixian.It wasn't until Gao Zhao was welcomed into the middle hall like a sleepwalker, Li Shixian excused himself to leave, and only he and Gao Zhao were left in the hall, that he suddenly woke up.

Gao Zhao must have said something like "discuss with Cheng Zhi about something", so my father had to avoid suspicion.

This old thief wants a showdown?
Li Chengzhi suddenly became vigilant, and when he looked up, he saw Gao Zhao's face became much lighter, with a few traces of sternness hidden between his brows and eyes.

"Li Guogong is really patient!"

Gao Zhao was grinding the white porcelain wine cup, scraping the wall of the cup with his fingernails, which was very ear-piercing: "I thought that after being wronged like this, you would definitely lose your temper, fly into a rage, and even if it didn't work out, you should fight for it. But I really didn't expect that you could swallow your anger to such an extent? Is this still Li Chengzhi who will investigate every penny and never give up an inch?"

Gao Zhao raised his head fiercely, his eyes were like needles, and Li Chengzhi's face felt cold because of the prickling: "I really can't figure out what your intentions are, what are your plans?"

Is this for a show?

No need to put on airs and hypocrisy, Li Chengzhi felt relieved for a while.

"It's Sikong who has schemes, otherwise why bother to persuade Mr. Li to plan big things with you?"

"Oh?"

Gao Zhao smiled, "Why doesn't this old man know, when did he conspire with you like this?"

Li Chengzhi twitched the corner of his mouth: What are you pretending to be?

On the third day after seeing Wei Zijian, Yang Shu and Yuan Zhao had just arrived in Tongguan, and the letter "Don't blame Li's six relatives for denying him, turning his face and ruthlessness" had just arrived in Gao Zhao's hands, when a dead man suddenly died in the camp of Chencang, saying A secret letter is presented.

The whole article did not mention who wrote the letter, and who sent the dead man, but after just a few glances, Li Chengzhi knew that it was sent by Gao Zhao.

Because only Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhaomi talked about the few words mentioned in it, and no third person in this world knows about it.

For example, when you swear at a young age, your children are lonely...

Another example is childless, lonely old man in deep palace...

It's more like when you go to the stage, you die without a place to die...

These three prophecies correspond to Yuan Ke, Gao Ying, and Gao Zhao respectively.Relatively speaking, the first two have been fulfilled.

Yuan Ke has collapsed and has no heirs. Naturally, what has been fulfilled cannot be fulfilled again.And Gao Ying has become the empress dowager, so is it possible that she can still leave the palace to marry?

Naturally, I will die alone...

At that time Li Chengzhi thought that Gao Zhao was testing him to see if he would turn against him.But it wasn't until he met Gao Meng, and later learned that Gao Meng was intensively mining kerosene in Xiazhou, and Gao Zhao was fighting in the six towns, that Li Chengzhi suddenly realized the purpose of this secret letter sent by Gao Zhao.

The first two have been fulfilled, so is the third far behind?

This was originally Yuan Ke's last decree, but when Yuan Jia passed away, the post of Taiwei must belong to Gao Zhao.If Gao Zhao didn't want to end up like the proverb, he could only make preparations early.

Gao Zhao, we are about to start an incident...

At the beginning, I felt it was unbelievable: Gao Zhao was going to rebel at the risk of destroying the nine clans just because of a trick from the magic stick?

But if you want to go deeper, it's natural.

I don't know how many generations the prophecies of "Maojindao" and "Muzili" have been passed down, and the rebellions caused by this in the 24 dynasties were as many as [-] or [-].

For example, the rumor of "Maitreya came to the world" is even more prosperous and has been popular for nearly 2000 years.How many Buddha kings, Buddha sons, and holy mothers have emerged?
What's more, Gao Zhao needs the right time and the right time, the right place to have the right place, and the harmony between people and people.

If in another two years, when the world is in chaos and all heroes rise together, maybe Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhaoxu will be entrusted to him and become him a dog-headed military advisor.In the dark, you can nourish your body and accumulate strength.

But although there is chaos now, the Yuan and Wei Dynasties are far from falling apart.Li Chengzhi knew that the sooner he got ahead, the faster he would open his business, so how dare he join forces with Gao Zhao?

Naturally, he could only try his best to separate himself from Gao Zhao, and pick himself as clean as possible.By the way, you can pretend to be wronged and sell miserably.

But who would have thought, Gao Zhao didn't want to let him go.Now it is even more obvious to force him to express his position.

Promise is impossible.

But after this turmoil, it is naturally impossible to live in peace.Nine times out of ten, Gao Zhao will regard himself as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, get rid of it quickly,
Cui Guang, an old man, is really poisonous. Although the reason and the process are quite different, the result is the same as he expected.

Why is Gao Zhao in such a hurry?
It seems that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired?
Li Chengzhi's thoughts diverged and his soul wandered into the sky, but Gao Zhao was a little impatient to wait.

His knuckles were slightly bent, and he knocked on a few tables lightly. Seeing Li Chengzhi regained his senses, he said leisurely: "In the past few months, even though I am far away in Beizhen, I have heard of it a little bit. Because of Xiaoxiao's secret troubles, you Unexpected gap with the queen mother?
I don't know the right and wrong, so I don't comment.But as a courtier, you should be in awe.Therefore, when I enter the city later, I will go to see the queen mother and share with you, what do you think? "

Say?

This is obviously forcing myself to express my stance: If you are not an accomplice, then you are an enemy.

And even if I want to be perfunctory, it's impossible.

One can also know that Gao Zhao must have a second move, and it is more likely to be a serial move.As long as he nods his head at this time, Gao Zhao will be able to completely tie himself to his thief ship in a short time.

Compared with this old thief, resourcefulness and scheming are only second.Just because of his background, Gao Zhao dumped Li Chengzhi a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

How many days has he been an official?
However, during Gao Zhaozhong's Yuanke dynasty, the power of the ruling and opposition parties lasted nearly ten years, and there were so many party members, disciples, and even minions who secretly attached themselves to them.

Otherwise, why did Yuanying dare not close his eyes for a long time, and why did Cui Guang and others feel like they were facing a big enemy?
So Li Chengzhi knew very well that whether he should or should not, his life would not be easy.

Traveling to the mountains and rivers, reciting poems and composing pairs, and putting your love on the mountains and rivers?

Go dream!

But it is impossible to promise, otherwise, wouldn't the grievances of these days be in vain?

What's more, he has to be implicated by him, and be the first bird who gets shot...

Li Chengzhi let out a sigh of relief, looked directly at Gao Zhao, without even evading it: "Thank you Sikong for your wrong love, I won't bother Sikong anymore!"

Gao Zhao seemed calm and relaxed, with a smile still on his face.But Li Chengzhi still caught the flickering coldness in the old thief's eyes.

If you are not an ally, then you are an enemy... Gao Zhao is afraid that he is going to attack himself.

Regardless of whether it is the official official residence report on the bright side, or the information that Li Feng found secretly, it shows that Beizhen has calmed down.By analogy, Li Chengzhi also thought that Gao Zhao had temporarily died down, as if he wanted to take it slowly.

But looking at it now, he didn't even bother to ask for the last fig leaf, which showed that an incident was imminent.

For a while, Li Chengzhi couldn't think of any mistakes or omissions, which made his inference completely opposite.

"You are very ambitious! That's right, you are always resourceful, and you have already figured out how to deal with it, so why should I worry about it?"

Gao Zhao laughed in a low voice, took a sip from the wine cup, and clicked his tongue: "But it's not a waste of time, at least this fine wine lives up to its name, and I don't know when I will drink with you next time. !"

Seeing him get up, Li Chengzhi's pupils shrank slightly.

A dog that doesn't bark bites.

He originally thought that Gao Zhao would say some harsh words and threaten him.

It seems that only waiting for Gao Zhao to go out of this door, what awaits Li Chengzhi is definitely a storm.

I'm so afraid that it won't happen, Li Chengzhi is not made of mud, and he has never lacked the courage to die.

It was this feeling of being out of control and unable to figure out the clues that made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

Why is Gao Zhao in such a hurry?
