The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 104
Feng Mo thought about Jia Ke's words, and felt that this must be the case, so he said to Jia Ke: "My lord, what should we do?"

Jia Ke smiled at him and said, "Of course it's just waiting for the hare and setting up a net to catch fish. You lead your team to wait for him at the north gate. If he doesn't come, he'll pay you back. If he comes, let him fall into the net."

Feng Mo is now obeying Jia Ke's words. Since Jia Ke ordered him to do so, he has no doubts.Immediately go down and lead the troops, lay an ambush at the north gate, and wait for those spies to throw themselves into the net.

Besides, in Kaipingwei, there is a family who is a well-known wealthy family in Kaipingwei. His family is mainly engaged in horse trading.The past few decades have been smooth and smooth, and nothing has gone wrong.The family owner's surname is Tang, and his full name is Tang Kuai.Since his father's generation, he has been in the horse trading business. After so many years, the road between the imperial court and the grassland has been opened up, no matter where it is, it is unimpeded.Now the household is very rich, and in Xuanfu Town, it is already considered one of the few families.

However, there are rumors outside that the owner Tang Kuai is very nostalgic, so the base camp has not left Kaipingwei all these years.This time when the Tatars came to attack, the government recruited all the men in Kaipingwei. Not only did he send his own family, but even his two sons to the front line.

But almost everyone didn't know that this Tang Dashan was not from the Central Plains.His father was originally a Tatar, and was sent to the Southern Dynasty by the previous Khan as a spy to inform the Tatars, and even used methods such as assassination to eradicate dissidents for the Tatars. After his father died, he took over the job. duty.Although sometimes he forgot that he was a Tatar, but every time an order came, it reminded him of this identity that he hated himself.

The deaths of the former Qianhu of Kaipingwei were all related to him. The assassins who went to assassinate were all Tatar dead soldiers.

Just now, he received a report from the servants who were helping to defend the city on the tower, and three huge bonfires were lit in the Tatar camp.

When Tang Kuai heard the news, he began to feel a little restless. He was different from his father.His father has always considered himself a Tatar, but he has resisted this identity from the bottom of his heart.His mother is from the Central Plains, and he also wants to be from the Central Plains, not a Tatar.

Tang Kuai thought about it at home. He knew that if he followed the orders of the Tatars this time, he would not be able to stay in the Central Plains anymore. , the precarious life, he felt chills in his heart.

He walked around in his room, looking at the house built by two generations of father and son, and thinking about the wool tent on the grassland.He felt that he could make a decision, even if he deserved to die, he could save his children and grandchildren to live a life of glory and wealth.Instead of herding sheep on the prairie and being exploited by the lord, even his wife's new marriage should be given to the lord to enjoy first.

Once a person makes a decision, he feels a sense of relief because he already knows what he is going to face.The same is true of Tang Kuai, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of his descendants, like those herdsmen who live a meager life.

Tang Kuai has made a decision, so he can no longer hesitate.

"Come on, prepare a car for me."

At this time his wife came in with a bowl of bird's nest and said to him, "Master, it's so late, where are you going?"

Tang Kuai looked at his old wife, wondering if he would be able to come back after this trip, and said to her tenderly: "I may have to go out for a few days, I will not be at home these days, and I will take care of the house for you." Now, our two sons are not too young, you have to discipline them well, and then marry them a better wife, so that you can take care of them in the future. That's all." After finishing speaking, he walked out.

Her wife sensed that there was something wrong with his manner of speaking.This is not what I said after going out for two days, but it seems to be explaining the funeral.He quickly went up to hold him, his eyes turned red, and he asked him with a crying voice: "What happened to the master? You tell me, let's discuss it together. You are the pillar of our family. Without you, we The family is gone."

Tang Kuai gently grabbed her hands, which were not as soft as they were 20 years ago, and then patted her lightly, comforting her and saying, "It's nothing, just deal with some small things to give our son a better future." Lay a foundation, and you will live with peace of mind in the future.”

Comforting his wife, Tang Kuai went out and got into the car, and went directly to the city gate. When he arrived at the city gate, he saw that the defense here was not strict.But the more this happened, the more frightened he felt.Now that we are fighting the Tatars, the defense at the city gate is so lax, I am afraid that a net has been laid, waiting for the fish to jump in.

Without delay, Tang Kuai got out of the car and looked for a soldier.He asked with a smile on his face: "Little brother, I want to ask you something. I don't know if Lord Qianhu is around. I have something important to report to him."

The soldier looked him up and down, and immediately recognized him. Tang Kuai was well-known in Kaipingwei, and the soldier said with a smile on his face, "So it's Mr. Tang, what do you want to do with Mr. Qianhu? "

Tang Kuai said calmly: "Yes, there are some things that I need to tell Lord Qianhu."

"Then wait for a while, Lord Qianhu is at the top of the city, and I'll have someone report it to you." After finishing speaking, he said to the people next to him: "Go to the top of the city and report to Lord Qianhu, and just tell Mr. Tang in the city. Good man, I have something important to see Lord Qianhu, and see what he says."

The soldiers next to him heard what he said, and immediately ran to the tower.

Tang Kuai waited below for a short time, the soldier came down, and said to Tang Kuai with a smile: "Master Qianhu is very happy to know that Mr. Tang Dashan is visiting. Let me invite him to go to the top of the city to talk." After speaking, he raised his hand and asked Tang Kuai to go to the city.

At this time, Tang Kuai had no way out, so he followed the soldier to the top of the wall.When we reached the top of the city, we walked forward dozens of steps.When he came to a young general, the soldier went up and knelt on the ground on one knee, and said to the young general, "Master Qianhu, Tang Kuai brought it here."

Jia Ke had already looked at the soldier who came up to report just now, and came to him with a man who looked like a middle-aged wealthy businessman.

Jia Ke waved to the soldier and said, "Go back, as long as I'm here." The soldier then retreated.

What Tang Kuai didn't know was that the person in front of him was the newcomer Qianhu Jia Ke.Hurry up and knelt down on the ground, bowed to Jia Ke and said, "Caomin Tang Kuai, I'm here to greet Lord Qianhu."

Jia Ke looked at him with a slight smile on his face, "I know you. We are a well-known rich businessman and kind person in Kaipingwei. I don't know what you want from me."

Tang Kuai looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and for some reason, he felt a chill down his back, as if being stared at by a wild animal.

Originally, he thought that by this time, there was nothing to be afraid of, but from the moment he saw this boy, he felt that this boy was too scary. How many times have you saved him.

Tang Kuai knelt there and didn't dare to get up, didn't dare to lift his head, kowtowed to Jia Ke, and then said tremblingly: "The Caomin surrendered themselves."

Jia Ke put away her smile, narrowed her eyes, and there were bursts of cold light from the west wind, but there was still a smile in her tone of voice when she spoke to him: "What did Mr. Tang Dashan do to turn himself in to me?"

Tang Kuai was still kowtowing non-stop, "My lord, the minor crime deserves death. He is a spy of the Tatars."
