This time his brother-in-law could not go with him. After all, Li Erlang still wanted to know about the rebels, so he needed an insider who would not be drawn away or easily kicked away by Li Jiulang.
The reason why Yang Dalang will not be lured away is because last time Li Jiulang's confidant's daughter took a fancy to Yang Dalang and insisted on marrying him as his wife.
Fortunately, Yang Dalang still had a remarried wife at that time, and Yang Dalang was very disgusted with this kind of operation. He felt that he had been humiliated, so he failed to achieve the goal of plotting against Yang Dalang. However, the forced behavior made Yang Dalang feel very attached to Li Jiulang.
Opinion.
After that, Yang Dalang was not willing to show up to Li Jiulang. He would only go unless he was forced to do so. Later, he never thought of contacting Li Jiulang through Li Jiulang's confidants. Later, he was even more reluctant to contact that faction because of Ling Xiao's incident.
people.
Combining these points, Yang Dalang would not even think about how to have a better relationship with Li Jiulang. Li Erlang also knew this in his heart, and naturally liked it even more.
After much deliberation, it turned out that it was more appropriate for his brother-in-law to stay behind to inquire about information, so that Li Erlang could know the movements of the rebels, and then ask Yang Dalang to help him after Li Erlang became strong.
In this situation, Li Erlang didn't worry at all that his brother-in-law would cross several boats. You should know that the relationship between his brother-in-law and his wife was good, which ensured that he would not do anything to frame his brother-in-law.
The reason why he was not worried about his brother-in-law being driven out by the rebels was partly because the Yang family was considered a wealthy family, and Yang Dalang had proven to be a man of character and not an easy man to handle.
Thanks to Ling Xiao's outstanding performance, as long as she escorts the food, a large amount of food will arrive safely. If Yang Dalang is not in the rebel army, naturally there will be no one to escort the food safely, so Yang Dalang will not be easily eliminated.
This is a big advantage. Li Erlang is very afraid that all the nails he left will be invalidated. With Yang Dalang, he doesn't have to worry about it at all. Yang Dalang can even be the transit contact.
Those who contact him secretly should think of contacting him. He still wants to get more support, so they can contact him through Yang Dalang. This is good for him.
He believed in Yang Dalang more than people from other families. The envoys from those families said nice things, but in fact few of them came up with anything truly useful.
Li Erlang knew very well that this was because his brother was in trouble and he did not dare to bet on him, and because he had just gotten married, he was unable to have a closer cooperation with him for the time being. They planned to see it again.
Li Erlang himself is well aware of what those people think, because these big families often make multi-faceted investments, and there will always be one who wins the bid.
Under such circumstances, the eldest son of the Yang family still adhered to his promise and kept the good things of the Yang family in mind. According to ancient rules, Yang Juan should have got married long ago, but she missed it for three years because of her filial piety, and she was a little older.
After finally choosing the best time to get married, their brother's incident happened, which affected their wedding date to a certain extent. But Li Erlang knew that his wife was really a very smart and capable woman, and it was okay to leave him.
Marry a nice man.
The thought of this possibility made him reluctant to give up. If he was attracted by his wife's beauty in the beginning, now he felt even more her beauty from the inside out, which made him want to stop.
This discovery made him a little flustered, because he, who had always been calm and self-possessed, found that he had become a little different from himself these days, and he was afraid that this behavior would make him look for opportunities to take a handful if his wife discovered it in the future.
.
In addition, he swore revenge after his brother's death, which means he had great ambitions. He felt that the love between his children would delay his pursuit of the world, and he did not want to fall in love for the time being.
Because the famous Emperor Gaozu was once very capable, but when he got old, he loved Madam Qi wholeheartedly and wanted to put his beloved son on the throne. Empress Lu was furious and counterattacked, causing his most beloved concubine to fall in love with her.
Zi finally waited for Empress Lu to execute her.
If Emperor Gaozu hadn't been so emotionally passionate, maybe he wouldn't have reached that scene. After all, men shouldn't be emotional. Once they become emotional, bad things will happen. So he is a little afraid of violent emotions and would rather live a mediocre life.
Fortunately, this time out was just a chance for his racing heart to rest. He was afraid that his emotions would become more intense, which was completely unlike him. He didn't want to be immersed in the love between his children.
.
After feeling a little sorry for his wife, he turned his attention to Yang Dalang. The important matters discussed by the three grown men were in perfect harmony, and the relationship between Uncle Lang and Uncle was even more harmonious.
Because he felt that he felt sorry for his wife and did not dare to express it to her, he had many exchanges with Yang Dalang, and Li Erlang discovered that his brother-in-law was also very strategic.
After talking a lot, I felt thirsty. Because Li Erlang was observing filial piety, he couldn't drink any wine, so Ling Xiao specially made some drinks and served them. They looked very good, so the three of them drank well.
Ling Xiao on the other side noticed something. Yang Juan's face changed a little after thinking of something. She suddenly lost her appetite. Fortunately, she had almost eaten, instead of not eating yet.
Ling Xiao put down the chopsticks (1) and asked her about her situation, and then realized that Yang Juan had remembered the news from her brother: Li Erlang was sent abroad by the rebel leader Li Jiulang, and she didn't know what the future would be like, which made her a little at a loss.
After hearing the news, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little helpless. In fact, it was understandable that a man had to go out to seek a way out, but she was a little unhappy when he had to give up his wife's position to his first wife.
But can she tell Li Erlang now that he must never apologize to Yang Juan? No! If she dared to say it, Yang Dalang would be very anxious because he did not dare to offend his brother-in-law.
I'm afraid that Yang Juan won't be happy either, so she doesn't plan to do anything in the end, and just quietly watches the development of the matter. Some things should be left to the parties concerned to do themselves.
Therefore, Ling Xiao just told Yang Juan: If her husband can be sent abroad, he will have the opportunity to achieve great things. As the proud son of heaven, he is likely to fly into the sky.
When she said this, she swallowed the next sentence: If he couldn't fly into the sky, he would be dead in the end. It was better not to tell Yang Juan this sentence, otherwise Ling Xiao would suspect that Yang Juan would really want her husband to go out.
But judging from the historical development, Li Erlang is not worth her efforts at all. Anyway, if Li Erlang is finished now, Yang Juan will have no problem, and the woman can get married again.
Yang Juan was naturally happy after hearing this. She really liked her husband and hoped to have the opportunity to grow old together with him. However, she was still a little worried after hearing Ling Xiao's words.
Hearing Yang Juan sighing, Ling Xiao asked about the situation. It turned out that Yang Juan was worried about her husband's safety. Alas! At this moment, Yang Juan was really thinking about her husband, but what she was waiting for was bad news.
Ling Xiao's hands felt itchy when he thought of this situation, but no matter what, it hadn't happened yet, and he was considered Yang Juan's husband, so he still had to give her something good.
He told Yang Juan his idea, and she was very happy after hearing it. Ling Xiao took Xiao He back to the food team to prepare some things.
On the third day, Li Erlang was about to go on the road, and Ling Xiao also went to see him off. Before leaving, he gave them a few small bags. These can be carried cross-body and are specially used for emergencies.
This is something designed by Ling Xiao. Those who escort the food must bring such a small bag with them every time they go out. There are several flat wooden bottles in it.
The bottles contained some wax-sealed pills, specially designed to treat colds and colds. There were also some medicated powders, such as those specially used to treat trauma, and some specially used to repel snakes.
There are also special things that can be used to quickly start a fire, which may seem like a small part, but are definitely the most essential part. There is also the softest piece of linen cloth, which can be used in many places, and even a few small golden melon seeds.
She asked the people who escorted the grain to show it to the people who were going out. After seeing it, Li Erlang and He Ming were very surprised, thinking that the other party had such a thing.
But Yang Dalang had already had one and didn't say anything. Seeing Li Erlang, He Ming and He Ming were very surprised and couldn't help but want to laugh.
He has always respected this adopted sister very much. You must know that she has transcended the category of women in his heart. Of course, he will not regard her as a man.
After all, her martial arts value surpasses that of ordinary men, and there are no gender differences in many aspects of civil and military skills. However, she still retains some female characteristics. For example, she still has her ears pierced. This was done by the original owner when she was very young, and she still retains it.
Come down.
After listening to Yang Dalang's introduction, Li Erlang and He Ming were a little surprised when they got the things, but also very happy. With these things, they could save their lives if something went wrong.
And Li Erlang naturally understood why the other party used wooden bottles instead of porcelain bottles, because porcelain bottles are difficult to carry, and the bottles have special markings to let users know what is inside.
Speaking of which, they may encounter many problems when they go out, the most feared of which is getting sick on the road. What we gave this time basically covers the most common diseases, and pills and powders can be used to prevent them.
Li Erlang's eyes lit up when he saw these things. As a person who has been constantly fighting on the battlefield, he understands the purpose of these things. Moreover, after hearing from his brother-in-law that this was the equipment of the grain escort team, he naturally knew that it was his sister-in-law who made it.
.
He glanced at the woman standing next to his wife. Speaking of standing with Yang Juan, although she didn't attract much attention, she wasn't reduced to the background either.
It's just that she is not an ordinary woman. She is rather deviant in her actions. A weak woman came out to escort grain with many men, which made many men look at her with suspicion.
In fact, Li Erlang was also a little surprised, but because of the war, no one said anything. He naturally knew that some smart people were thinking about how to get this woman into his hands.
But really smart people know that this is absolutely impossible. This person is not an ordinary person. He needs force with force value and a master with a plan. If he offends this person, there are many ways to punish the other party. This person is not easy to mess with.
It will definitely not be accepted.
But what he never expected was that Li Jiulang also fell in love with this girl. When Li Erlang found out, he felt a little anxious. Although the position he gave her was not high and she was just a concubine, it would be easier for her to get promoted.
Because she is not the kind of person who only has force value, she can't scheme against others at all. As long as she wants to scheme against someone, she will never let the other person leave.
Fortunately, I heard that Ling Xiao had no intention of getting married, otherwise Li Erlang would be afraid, fearing that she would become Li Jiulang's concubine for status and adopt a child.
Regardless of the fact that most aristocratic families don't like concubines very much, they also don't like children born from concubines, especially when giving family property, they often implement the eldest son system.
Most of the family property belongs to the eldest son, so the following legitimate sons will get a lot less property, and the so-called bastards will get even less than the legitimate sons. This is the eldest son inheritance system that started in the Zhou Dynasty.
The advantage of the eldest son inheritance system is that it is not easy to divide the family property again and again, which leads to repeated thinning of the family property, and ultimately causes the family's financial resources to fall into the pit again and again. This leads to a decrease in competitiveness and is not conducive to the growth of the family.
Otherwise, just like the enfeoffment system implemented in the Western Han Dynasty, the princes who were later enfeoffed to local areas found that their territory had shrunk repeatedly, and they were ultimately unable to fight against the central government.
The disadvantage is that most of the heirs cultivated by this system follow the rules, and few are enterprising. Many of them have the habit of seeking stability, which may lead to the family being stagnant.
But I don’t know why, as the most powerful emperor’s family in the dynasty, they have always been incompatible with the eldest son inheritance system.
In many dynasties in history, there were very few so-called eldest sons who ascended the throne and became emperor. Not many of the eldest sons who became princes lived a very happy life. Instead, the three famous deposed princes are the best explanations.
One of the three deposed princes was the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wu and the first queen Chen Ajiao turned against each other and established a new queen, Wei Zifu, and the eldest son became the prince.
At that time, Wei Zifu was in his most glorious moment. His husband was the emperor, his son was the prince, his brother was the general Wei Qing, and even his sister's son later became the famous champion Hou Huo Qubing.
The most brilliant Wei Zifu never thought that her son would be called the violent prince in future generations. This was a prince who was being plotted against.
The violent prince even died without knowing what was going on. As a result, the violent prince, who had been the prince for many years, was forced to rebel after becoming a grandfather.
After the rebellion, Prince Li's lineage was almost wiped out. No men or women were left behind. The only grandson left was Liu Bingji, who was still in his mother's belly at that time.
Wei Zifu, who originally thought he had won the final victory, found out that the situation was not good after a huge defeat, so he committed suicide directly, which was not much better than the first queen.
Then there was the prince appointed by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. For some reason, he was disgusted by his own father, the emperor, and eventually became disabled and did not get a good ending.
