In Shangyuan Manor, Li Tai asked Li Zhusheng to receive the local tycoons who came to inquire because he was not present in the front hall, and he returned to his villa in Dongpo.
"Lang Jun, the wounded in Guizhuang have been properly diagnosed and treated. However, two of them are seriously injured, and medicine and stone have no effect..."
Zhu Zi bravely walked into the hall and said to Li Tai with a sad expression.
"knew."
Li Tai nodded solemnly, stood up from his desk and said, "I'll take a look at them...hiss"
Halfway up, he fell down again. The wound on his left leg was quite deep. He was completely unaware of the tense and life-threatening moments before. But now, after cleaning, applying and bandaging, he felt excruciating pain.
.
"Just rest in peace and recuperate. Your subordinates will take care of your funeral."
He Basheng glanced at Li Tai, who was still struggling to get up. He sighed first, and then said in a low tone: "Since you are unwilling to stay indoors to maintain your health, you have to get used to such things. If you suffer from small matters of life and death, you must admit it.
!”
"Uncle, am I qualified to live in a house? You guys in Beizhen Qiuba rely on your own strength to commit crimes. You kill people but don't kill trees. How many other people have compassion for you!"
Li Tai was in a mixed mood of sadness and anger, and said angrily after hearing this.
When He Basheng heard this, he was very angry. He slapped the case and said angrily: "Is it me who ordered someone to kill you? Are you Han'ers a famous family? You are stealing the big position, greedy for glory, and stand by while the country is in trouble! But there are two things
How can Luoxia allow the frontier soldiers to trample on all the bones and muscles that have been assigned to shoulder the responsibility?"
"Am I blaming my uncle? Why did you happen to be born in the town?"
"I didn't scold you either. Who made it happen that you were born in this world and couldn't achieve your merits earlier!"
“Those who arrive early may not succeed!”
"The townspeople should kill Gao Liang!"
The two of them looked at each other with their eyes exposed, and after looking at each other for a long time, He Basheng said again: "So, do you think Zhao Gui sent someone to ambush you?"
"Who else could it be if he wasn't him!"
When he was first ambushed, Li Tai was not sure who wanted to assassinate him.
After all, he had just recently offended several powerful families in the Western Wei Dynasty. He said that Dugu believed that his daughter was not angry at being spanked by him, so it made sense to arrange for an ambush to retaliate against him.
But when he called out He Bajing's name to mislead the other party and managed to survive, it seemed that Zhao Gui had the best chance.
The team of knights who ambushed him were skilled in bow and horse, and the arrows left at the scene were also well-made. They were obviously not weapons that ordinary people could maintain. However, they were able to quietly enter the countryside to set up an ambush near Shangyuan, and they had a clear grasp of their whereabouts.
, are also very few.
He called out the names of Yu Wenhu and Heba Jing to convey a political panic, that is, Daxingtai might take advantage of this to wipe out the remaining power of the Heba family.
Of course, this strategy is not rigorous. After all, he came up with it on the spur of the moment when he was being chased. But it can effectively arouse fear and vigilance in people's hearts.
Perhaps the assassination and capture of Li Tai was not a big deal and would not cause a sensation in the government and the public, but if this was framed on the Heba brothers, the political turmoil it would cause would be immeasurable.
If it were other families who were not close to the Heba family, they might not be too worried about this. There was no evidence of Li Tai's death, and they would not worry about being implicated and liquidated, which would naturally not affect the original plan and subsequent actions.
But these people let Li Tai go, obviously because they were too 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 ranked among those who will be affected.
The first sequence of implication.
As a member of the Beizhen martial arts generation, He Ba Yue naturally has many close friendships with his family. But if two additional qualifications are added, including those who have been offended by Li Tai and are as close as He Ba Jingwei brothers, then the target can be
It was precisely locked.
He Batanyue's two sons are the sons of a tiger father and a dog. They are wary and cautious on weekdays, and they don't have many interactions with each other. For example, when He Basheng was put under house arrest by them, Li Tai also planned to ask Shi Nianhua, the chief of the Taiwei Palace, to come forward and Nianhua
They all said that they had no face in front of these brothers.
The interpersonal relationship between the brothers was simple, and one of the few people they had close contact with was the children of Zhao Gui's household. Because Zhao Gui once collected the body of their father, he felt that even if they had a close relationship, it was within the limits of human relations and would not be a taboo.
"Power is so powerful, uncle. You Beizhen warriors claim to be local righteousness, but it seems that they are just careless."
Li Tai sneered again, his not-so-subtle sowing of dissension actually saved his own life, which shows how deep the thorns are in the hearts of these people.
"It's not Zhao Gui. Don't underestimate him just because he loses his temper in battle. If it was really him who instigated it, you would not survive. Zhao Gui still has this ability and determination."
After He Basheng pondered for a while, he slowly shook his head and said.
Li Tai was quite convinced by He Basheng's analysis. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but feel a little self-doubt, so he added: "If it weren't for Zhao Gui, then I can only doubt that the old master is dead."
"Do you think they have the guts?"
He Basheng sighed first, then asked again. Seeing Li Tai bowing his head in silence again, he asked again: "If it is really Zhao Gui, what do you want?"
"Blood debts must be repaid with blood, which will never be easy!"
Li Tai said in a firm tone, although these words are a bit arrogant and lacking confidence, but it all depends on man-made efforts.
After He Basheng heard this, he rolled his eyes at him first, and then sighed: "My nephew is innocent, and they can't stand your manipulation. I will order them to follow you, Ah Pan, but Ah Pan, you have to follow me
I guarantee that these two sons will never be left in a desperate situation!"
"That's what I think, uncle. Therefore, with the character of Taifu Erxi, even if they have strong willpower, they will never be able to escape from the Daxingtai container in this life. Instead of being cautious and trying to survive, it is better to open up your heart and seek a
Be open-minded and calm.”
Li Tai would not provoke He Basheng's feelings of flesh and blood. After hearing this, he analyzed: "Therefore, the deeds of the Taifu and his uncle are solid and their prestige is prominent. It cannot be erased by the two of them saying that they swallow their voices and hide from the world! Instead, they appear to be deeply scheming.
, Only secluded places in the world can hide dirt and make people annoying, but only by living in a dignified manner can you show your fullness and make people unsuspicious!"
When they were not familiar with each other at the beginning, Li Tai also felt that He Boyue's sons were so defensive and cautious as a way to protect themselves. However, after understanding their nature, he felt that these two people were simply making fun of themselves.
With your talents, Yu Wentai can handle everything with just one finger, no matter how hard you are. In order to be innocent, he puts himself in the dark so that no one can tell whether he is a donkey or a horse, which is actually dangerous.
So the two brothers might as well come out openly and let Shi Liu see what their background is like, and their admiration for the Heba family will fade away.
Although these words were indeed reasonable, He Basheng found them a bit harsh and couldn't help but angrily said: "If you keep saying these weird things, I will go back to Huazhou and not live in your house!"
"Uncle, don't make trouble, I understand what you mean. Even if Zhao Gui did not do this, it is inevitable that his nephew will make his own decisions. 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-exclusion, and it is more likely to prove it to others. How will the aftermath develop, uncle, are you not worried? "
After He Basheng heard this, he glared and raised his stick to hit Li Tai: "Have you already expected that these two sons will be in trouble?"
"I'm not a psychic. If I had predicted it earlier, would I have been almost killed by someone like a pig or a dog?"
Li Tai dragged his injured leg and crawled outside the banquet, narrowly avoiding the stick. However, seeing that He Basheng was a little angry, he explained: "I persuaded the two gentlemen like this, and they also
I heard it all in my heart.
When I met my uncle before, you were tired of seeing them, so you taught them to work in Lishan Mountain for recreation, so that they could have fun with the crowd and not disturb my uncle's recuperation.
I don't know where I live, and my life or death is uncertain, but I treat my uncle with such care and attention. Am I not the beloved treasure of the family? Uncle, if you don't kiss me and trust me, why should I cover your cold face with all my enthusiasm?
!”
Hearing this, He Basheng paused his hand movements again, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Yes, even if you are full of cunning and resourcefulness, it was not trained by me. I am no longer relying on my old greed for enjoyment.
It is really inappropriate to blame you again because of the foolishness of your son.
But you said that I don’t treat you as a close confidant, and that’s not true! I have tamed the minions and personnel that I have left behind in the world for half my life. I would not leave them to my own nephew but to you, Apan. How can you not know my feelings?”
Hearing that He Basheng's tone turned sad, Li Tai also became a little embarrassed, then crawled back and said: "Just two hits will do, otherwise you'll get angry!"
He Basheng looked at his laziness and couldn't help but laugh. The old man and the cripple sat looking at each other, and for a moment they actually felt like they were dependent on each other.
"You are in pain, and you don't have to go out for wandering in the near future. Please keep this medicine for yourself!"
After a while, He Basheng said in a deep voice: "I am suffering from illness now, and my life is not long. I should put my mind in order and say goodbye to all my old friends. If I am too lazy to go anywhere else, I will lend you this place and this room. There are food and drinks on the farm.
, don’t neglect my guests!”
When Li Tai heard this, he knew that He Basheng was planning to refer his remaining interpersonal relationships to him.
Although he can't say that he has a big need for this, he can't help but feel a sore nose. No matter what he thinks in his heart, He Basheng does do it out of an elder's love mentality and hopes that he can go well in the future.
Slightly smoother.
For the next two days, He Basheng stayed behind closed doors, drawing up a list of people to meet in the countryside, and wrote letters and had them delivered.
Li Tai was not idle either. He personally presided over the funeral of two people who were killed in an ambush, and strictly ordered the villagers to keep this secret.
If the hostility towards Zhao Gui was just a psychological emotion before, now it is a practical issue that requires serious planning.
He has never been a submissive character, but he has to admit that at the moment he is no match for Zhao Gui in all aspects, so he needs to plan far and close the gap bit by bit. This wine of hatred is carefully brewed, and in the end it hurts.
