Northern Dynasties

Chapter 89

In Shangyuan Manor, Li Tai asked Li Zhusheng to receive the country tycoons who came to inquire because he was not present in the front hall, while he returned to Dongpo's villa.

"Lang Jun, the wounded in Guizhuang have been properly diagnosed and treated. But two of them were seriously injured, and medicine and stones were useless..."

Zhu Zi bravely walked into the hall, and said to Li Tai with a sad expression.

"understood."

Li Tai nodded with a sullen face, got up from his desk and said, "I'll take a look at them... hiss"

Halfway up he fell down and sat down again. The wound on his left leg was deep into the flesh. He didn't feel the tense moment of life-threatening before, but now after cleaning the dressing and bandaging it, it was a burst of piercing pain. .

"You can rest easy and recuperate, the next thing will be handled by your subordinates."

He Basheng glanced at Li Tai who was still struggling to get up, first sighed, and then said in a low tone: "Since you don't want to stay indoors to maintain your health, you have to get used to such things. Life and death, if you suffer, you have to admit it." !"

"Uncle, am I qualified to live in the house? You Beizhen Qiuba, you commit crimes with force, and there are no trees to kill. Apart from this, there are few people who are sympathetic!"

Li Tai was in a mixed mood of grief and anger, and said angrily after hearing the words.

When He Basheng heard this, he couldn't get angry, and said angrily: "Is it Lao Tzu who ordered someone to kill you? You are a Han son and a famous family? Stealing high positions, greedy for glory, and watching the country's affairs! But there are two How can Luoxia allow border guards to trample on the burden of his muscles and bones!"

"Am I blaming my uncle? Why did you happen to be a townsman!"

"I didn't scold you either, who made you so unfortunate that you were born in this world, so you couldn't make great achievements early!"

"Early arrival may not succeed!"

"The townspeople should kill Jiaoliang!"

The two looked at each other, each uncovering their scars. After staring at each other for a long time, He Basheng said again: "So, do you think Zhao Gui sent people to ambush you?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him!"

When he first encountered ambush, Li Tai was not sure who was going to assassinate him.

After all, not long ago, he had offended several powerful families in the Western Wei Dynasty intensively. He said that Dugu believed that his daughter had been spanked by him, and it made sense to arrange an ambush to retaliate against him.

But when he called He Bajing's name to mislead the other party and thus survived by chance, Zhao Gui was the most likely.

The team of knights who ambushed him were proficient in bows and horses, and the arrows left on the scene were also well-made. Obviously, they were not weapons that ordinary people could keep.And there are only a handful of people around Shangyuan who can quietly set up an ambush in the countryside and have a clear grasp of their whereabouts.

He called out the names of Yuwenhu and Hebajing in order to convey a kind of political panic, that is, Daxingtai might use it to wipe out the remaining power of Hebashi.

Of course, this strategy is not rigorous, after all, it was his temporary idea on the way to be hunted down, but it can effectively arouse the fear and vigilance in people's hearts.

Perhaps the assassination and capture of Li Tai is not a major event, and it cannot reach the level of a sensation in the government and the public, but if this is framed on the Heba brothers, the political turmoil caused will be immeasurable.

If it was other families who were not close to the Heba family, they might not be overly concerned about this. Li Tai's death has no proof, and they are not worried about being implicated in the liquidation. Naturally, it will not affect the original plan and follow-up actions.

But these people let Li Tai go, obviously because they were timid to push the situation to an unpredictable level.At least it is certain that the masters behind these people have a close relationship with the Heba brothers, and may even be the first to be implicated.

He Bayue, as the first generation of warriors in Beizhen, naturally has many close friendships with his family.But if there are two more restrictive conditions, those who have been offended by Li Tai and who are as close as the Heba Jingwei brothers, then the target can be precisely locked.

He Bayue's two sons are tiger fathers and dog sons. They are usually cautious and self-defense, and they don't communicate much at the same time.For example, when He Basheng was put under house arrest by them before, Li Tai planned to invite Shi Nianhua, the head of Taiwei's mansion, to come forward, and Nianhua even said that he had no face in front of these brothers.

The relationship between their brothers is simple, one of the few who have a close relationship is the children of Zhao Gui's family, because Zhao Gui once collected their father's body, so he feels that even a close relationship is within the human relationship and it is not taboo.

"Power sucks people, uncle. You Beizhen warriors boast of righteousness, but it seems that it is just so-so."

Li Tai sneered again, he managed to save his own life by sowing dissension so ingeniously, which shows how deep the thorns are in these people's chests.

"It's not Zhao Gui. Don't underestimate him just because he lost his temper in every battle. If he really instructed you, you won't survive. Zhao Gui still has the ability to make decisions."

After pondering for a while, He Basheng slowly shook his head and said.

Li Tai was quite convinced of He Basheng's analysis, so he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he said that, so he said, "If it wasn't for Zhao Gui, then I can only suspect the old Taifu Erxi."

"You think they have the guts?"

He Basheng sighed first, and then asked back. Seeing Li Tai bowed his head in silence again, he asked again: "If it is really Zhao Gui, what are your intentions?"

"Blood debts are paid in blood, never easy!"

Li Tai said resolutely, although what he said now is a bit arrogant and lacks confidence, but it is man-made.

When He Basheng heard the words, he rolled his eyes at him first, and then sighed: "My nephew is innocent, they can't stand your teasing. Ah Yan, I will die and make them follow you, but Ah Pan, you have to follow me." Guaranteed, these two sons will never be put in a desperate situation!"

"That's what I think, Uncle. Therefore, Taifu Erxi has such a character. Even if they try their best, they will never get out of the Daxingtai container in this life. Instead of being cautious and slavish, it is better to let go of your heart and ask for a Open-minded and calm."

Since Li Tai would not provoke He Basheng's fraternal bond, after hearing the words, he analyzed: "Therefore, the deeds of the Tai Tuo and the uncle are solid and the prestige is outstanding, and it cannot be erased by the two's so-called quietness and seclusion! On the contrary, Qi Yuhuai seems to have a deep scheming , the only place in the world where filth and defilement can hide and make people annoying, and only when you are in the world can you show your size and make people not suspicious!"

When he was not familiar with him at first, Li Tai also felt that the He Bayue sons were so self-preserving and cautious as a way to protect themselves, but after understanding their nature, he felt that these two people were purely self-important.

With your talents, Yu Wentai can cook with one finger even if you are allowed to torment.For the sake of innocence, put yourself in the dark, so that people can't tell whether it is a donkey or a horse, but it is dangerous.

So the two brothers might as well come out dignifiedly, let Shiliu see how their background is, and the admiration for the He Ba family will fade.

Although these words were indeed reasonable, He Basheng felt a bit harsh when he heard them, and couldn't help but said angrily: "If you continue to say these weird tunes, I will go back to Huazhou and not stay at your house!"

"Uncle, don't make trouble, I understand what you mean. Even if Zhao Gui was not responsible for this matter, his nephew will inevitably make his own claims. Since I called out the name of Mr. Zhonghua, Zhao Gui's family must be suspicious.

Even if the friendship was harmonious before, Zhao Gui would inevitably have the idea of ​​estrangement and self-cleaning, and it is more likely that others will prove themselves.Uncle, aren't you worried about how things will develop in the future? "

When He Basheng heard this, he stared at Li Tai and raised his stick, "You have already planned to make a game with these two?"

"I'm not a ghost or a psychic. If I had predicted it earlier, I would have almost been slaughtered like a pig or dog?"

Li Tai Li Tai dragged his injured leg and crawled out of the banquet, trying to avoid the stick, but seeing that He Basheng was really angry, he explained: "I persuaded the two gentlemen in this way, and they also I listen to it in my heart.

I saw Uncle before and you hated meeting them twice, so I taught them to run a business in Lishan for entertainment, so that they can have fun with the masses and not bother Uncle to recuperate.

My own family, Aye, does not know where he is going, and his life and death are uncertain, but he treats his uncle with such care and attention, am I not the favorite treasure of the parents in the household?Uncle, if you don't kiss me and believe me, why should I cover your cold face with all my enthusiasm! "

When He Basheng heard this, his hands paused again, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "Yes, even if you are full of cunning and resourcefulness, I didn't teach you that. It's really wrong to blame you for your foolishness.

But you said that I don't regard you as a confidant, which is also wrong!I tamed the minions and personnel that I left behind in the world for half my life. I was reluctant to leave it to my nephew but to you, Ah Pan. Do you know my intentions? "

Hearing that He Basheng's tone turned sad, Li Tai was also a little embarrassed, and then he crawled back and said, "It's enough to hit twice, and you will turn your face if you get too many!"

Seeing his tired and lazy appearance, He Basheng couldn't help laughing again.An old man and a handicapped man sat and looked at each other, and for a while they really felt like they depended on each other for life.

"You are in pain, and you don't need to go out for wandering in the near future, just keep this medicine!"

After a while, He Basheng said again in a deep voice: "I'm suffering from an illness, and I don't have much life left. I should clean up my mood and bid farewell to old friends. I'm too lazy to go elsewhere, and I will borrow this place and this house from you. There are food and beverages in the village. , don’t neglect my guests!”

Hearing this, Li Tai knew that He Basheng planned to transfer his remaining friendship to him.

Although he can't say that he has too much demand for this, he can't help but feel a sore nose. No matter what he thinks in his own mind, He Basheng is indeed out of a kind of elder's love and care, and hopes that he can go well in the future. Smoother.

For the next two days, He Basheng stayed behind closed doors, drawing up a list of people to meet in the village, and writing letters to deliver them.

Li Tai was not idle either, he personally presided over the funeral of the two men who were killed in an ambush, and strictly ordered the villager to keep it secret.

If the previous hostility towards Zhao Gui was just a psychological emotion, then now it is a practical issue that requires careful planning.

He has never been a submissive character, but he has to admit that he is not Zhao Gui's opponent in every aspect at the moment, so it takes a long way to plan and close the gap between them little by little. The wine of hatred is carefully brewed, and finally the pain It's more mellow when you drink it!
