Chapter 71 Closing the Net Goguryeo
Li Xiu nodded with a smile and bowed slightly to her.
At this time, Gao Xuan made a move that made everyone crazy. She actually moved her body to the side, gave up a position, and invited Li Xiu to sit on with affectionateness.
This is a treatment that no man can refuse. I am afraid that even King Xue and Li Chengye of Li has never received such an invitation.
Just when all the men who pursued her were crazy jealous, Li Xiu smiled and shook her head, turned around and looked at the palace behind, saying that she still had something to do.
He politely declined Gao Xuan's invitation, but his eyes fell on the girl in the yellow skirt behind him intentionally or unintentionally.
The girl in the yellow dress was also looking at Li Xiu. She turned slightly, and her big clear and moving eyes looked at Li Xiu curiously. The two of them touched their eyes, and her heart suddenly thumped and she quickly turned her head.
At this time, Gao Xuan's eyes were a little gloomy. No matter what the reason was, Li Xiu politely declined her.
She forced a smile, her eyes left Li Xiu, and then gave her charming smile to the fanatical fans.
The team continued to move forward, Gao Xuan's plump figure was already blocked by the crowd, and Li Xiu was still staring at the girl in yellow dress. At this time, the girl covered her beautiful face with a fan, her clear eyes flowed, and she secretly looked at the young man on the bridge.
Unexpectedly, the man smiled and waved to her, and a blush suddenly dyed the girl's cheeks.
'Is he rejecting the owner's invitation because of himself?'
A thought popped up in the girl's mind, but this idea was too ridiculous and she didn't know him at all!
At this moment, the girl suddenly thought of someone. Could it be that he is the big wallet that the third sister mentioned?
………….
Zi Linfeng saw the scene just now. She was surprised that Gao Xuan, who had always been accustomed to men, actually invited Li Xiu to attend the meeting.
But what surprised her even more was that this lustful guy actually rejected Gao Xuan's invitation.
It completely subverted Zi Linfeng's cognition.
"Are you afraid of offending King Xue?" Zi Linfeng thought of the answer.
Li Xiu smiled faintly, "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
"Or because he is your uncle."
Li Xiu shook his head, "He wants to kill me, but I won't consider any family affection."
"Then why did you reject Gao Xuan's invitation?"
Li Xiu looked at Zi Linfeng and smiled and said, "If you invited me, I will definitely sit on it."
"Go to die!"
Zi Linfeng's pretty face turned red, and she raised her fist and pounded Li Xiu's shoulder hard, but when she hit her, she slightly retracted her strength.
………….
The emperor gave him a reward, and of course Li Xiu had to give his subordinates a reward.
He took out two thousand taels of silver as a reward, with Pei Min five hundred taels, Zi Linfeng, Xiaomei and Zhong Kui all three hundred taels, and Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu two hundred taels each.
Then he took out two hundred taels to reward Zi Linfeng with ten Jinyi constables, each of whom was twenty taels.
For a moment, everyone was very happy.
………………
Regent Lee Sung-qi lives in a palace outside the city.
In the study, Li Chengqi, who was obese, was paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he seemed to be very worried.
On his desk, there was a proposal written by Emperor Li Longji, asking him to agree to clear Goguryeo and restore the parliament.
Of course, this is not because Li Longji is hot-headed. Fifteen years ago, the Goguryeo people paid money and helped the Supreme Emperor launch a palace coup. Li Longji hated them to the core.
Over the years, Li Longji has always wanted to deal with the Goguryeo people who are ready to move. However, the Goguryeo people have a close relationship with King Xue Li Chengye, and he cannot find excuses or opportunities.
This time, the Goguryeo people participated in the kidnapping of the princess, stealing military weapons and surveillance drawings, and privately hiding weapons and making a mistake. The evidence was conclusive, so Li Longji decided to take action.
However, according to the agreement reached by Li Longji and the Supreme Emperor, the two sides must agree to dispatch more than 1,000 troops to suppress the chaos.
Li Longji wrote a proposal for this.
The aide, He Bifan, advised: "Your Majesty, it's time to make up your mind to break up with the Goguryeo people! The prince has done his best to be kind and righteous. Goguryeo's rebellion is obvious. If you drag it on, it may be unfavorable to your reputation."
Li Chengqi sighed slightly, "I am not considering the end of benevolence and righteousness. Goguryeo is a foreign race. They want to restore the country to rebel in the Tang Dynasty, and no ruler will allow it.
I was thinking that once I cut with the Goguryeo people, I actually pushed them to Laowu, and I was worried about Laowu.”
"The prince can advise him to stay away from the Goguryeo. As for the final choice of His Highness Xue, it is not the prince who can decide. He should just want to use the Goguryeo."
"Aren't the Goguryeo people also using him?"
Li Chengqi finally made up his mind. He walked at the table and signed and agreed to the proposal of Emperor Li Longji to fight against the Goguryeo people.
………….
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Longji dispatched 10,000 Shen Ce troops, Li Chengqi also dispatched 10,000 Guards, and Chen Xuanli also sent 10,000 troops, a total of 30,000 troops began to capture Goguryeo's members on a large scale in and around the Eastern Capital.
At night, 120 members of the Goguryeo Restoration Congress and more than 2,000 Goguryeo people who had privately kept weapons were arrested.
With the trenching sound, Goguryeo's main members of the parliament quickly turned into a hidden state.
………
In the evening, Gao Lishi and the military weapon supervisor Wang Chu found Li Xiu.
"The military weapon surveillance has sorted out the list and found a big problem."
"What's the problem?"
Wang Chu said anxiously: "Eighteen of his drawings are missing, including the making of a modao, the making of a horse lance, the making of a horizontal knife, the making of a bright light armor, etc., especially the making and purifying drawings of a fire and a purifying drawings. All other drawings add up are not as important as this drawing."
Li Xiu was surprised, "It is not an ordinary difficulty to find them now!"
Gao Lishi sighed slightly, "The Lord knows it's difficult, but I still hope you will continue to work hard and strive to find these eighteen drawings."
Li Xiu was immediately overwhelmed, "Where to find these eighteen drawings?"
………
Gao Lishi left, Li Xiu paced back and forth in the room, and he realized now that he was here. No wonder the Goguryeo people were willing to take the risk of exchanging with him. They had taken away the eighteen most valuable drawings.
This incident really made Li Xiu feel overwhelmed and had already broken the deadlock. Whether Gao Xunwen, Gao Xunwu and others are still a question whether they are in Luoyang, let alone find eighteen drawings.
He was just scratching the flesh on the grasshopper's legs and had no idea how to start!
At this moment, Xiaomei quickly ran to the hall and said in a crying voice: "Young master, come, Lao Zhong... something happened to Lao Zhong!"
………….
Today is the first day that Li Xiu officially took over the Beijing Baijiui Restaurant, and Zhong Kui went to the restaurant to take charge.
Li Xiu was going there too, but was tripped by the news sent by Gao Lishi.
Everyone rushed to the entrance of the inn.
Zhong Kui was carried back by a restaurant clerk, covered in blood and covered in bruises. The injured shopkeeper was also lying on the soft stand and unable to move.
"What's going on?" Li Xiu was angry.
A bartender cried and said, "It's the Luo family. Dozens of warriors in black came to find trouble, beat the drinkers, and smashed the restaurant. Brother Zhong and the shopkeeper were besieged by dozens of people."
Li Xiu's eyes narrowed into a line. The Luo family really dared to come to cause trouble, but he underestimated them.
At this time, the inn shopkeeper came over with a doctor and quickly checked the injuries of the two.
Zhong Kui has thick skin and flesh. Although he looks like he is full of injuries, the problem is not big. It is all caused by flesh and blood. It will be cured for a few days.
Manager Liu of the restaurant was seriously injured, with three ribs broken and his left leg was broken.
Li Xiu set up two more rooms to prepare for Zhong Kui and the shopkeeper to recuperate, and asked the guys to go back to the inn to clean up. After a while, he was busy.
Zhong Kui looked ashamed, "I am humble and incompetent, causing trouble for the young master."
"This has nothing to do with you. What should be coming will come sooner or later. Since the Luo family is determined to provoke me, they should cry next."
"Young Master, the Luo family is just a dog of King Xue. It is easy to deal with dogs, but be careful of King Xue behind him. King Xue is likely to use the Luo family to deal with the young master."
Li Xiu smiled indifferently, "It's okay, they are so silly, I'm more sinister than them. They are so savage, I'm more sinister than them. It depends on who laughs to the end."
Zhong Kui remembered something again and hurriedly said, "My junior brother is back. His house is located in Qinghuafang, close to the imperial city. It is a three-acre house with good conditions in all aspects. His humble vocation has been arranged. The key will be sent tomorrow morning. The young master can move it at any time."
"I'll move it over after getting the key."
At this time, Xiaomei appeared at the door, "Young Master, Senior Sister Zi is here."
Li Xiu comforted Zhong Kui and the shopkeeper a few more words and then returned to his yard.
Of course, Li Xiu would not take action against the Luo family recklessly. He must figure out the background of the Luo family before considering the countermeasures.
Zhong Kui is from Chang'an. Although he has been studying in Luoyang for several years and knows some of the situations, he does not understand them in depth.
Zi Linfeng is different. She is from Luoyang and is also the leader of Luoyang. She has a very thorough understanding of various characters and backgrounds in Luoyang.
"Your Highness must first understand that dealing with the Luo family is actually dealing with King Xue."
Zi Linfeng made up the matter as soon as he opened his mouth.
