Just as Tang Pengxiu anxiously turned around and rushed to Xiao Mansion, Xiao Tang had already hosted a banquet for Yang Zhi, Xuan Zan and others. These generals in the capital made excuses and hurriedly said goodbye to Xiao Tang. There was only a long way to go to deepen the relationship with Xiao Tang, but today...
.It’s really not a very suitable day.
After the hustle and bustle, Xiao Tang returned to the courtyard behind the mansion. The courtyard was quiet at this time. The gentle breeze blew away Xiao Tang's drunkenness. He was walking on the cobblestone path when he happened to meet Yan Yan.
Qingzhe entered the courtyard and said to Xiao Tang: "Brother Xiao, this time to appease the west of Beijing, these heroes from the Imperial Forbidden Army are accompanying us, which will be enough to help eldest brother control the green forest in the west of Beijing."
Xiao Tang nodded and said: "Yang Zhi made the general of the Yang family, and he was superb in spear skills, bow and horse, and his ability in horse fighting was not inferior to that of the Hua Rong brothers; Xuan Baoyi was very good at martial arts, and his arrow skills were also very good; Han
Tao and Peng Qi are good at commanding troops, and Ling Zhen is also good at using cannons. What's more, there is Dadao Guan Sheng from Pudong, who is brave enough to rival Bian Xiang and Sun An brothers. But...
Just like the brothers Linchong of Bianliang in Tokyo, coach Wang Jin, Damingfusuo, Zhou Jin, Wang Ding, and Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui of Dezhou. Although they can work side by side with them in official terms, in the final analysis Green Forest
The matter must still be concealed from them. Sooner or later, I believe that I can be honest with them, but it is not now."
Yan Qing thought for a moment and asked Xiao Tang: "Although Brother Xiao has the same aspirations as these good men, they are officials and generals who are paid by the imperial court after all, and what Brother Xiao does... requires a lot of delay."
So dangerous, why is Big Brother so sure that one day these heroes will be able to make it all the way?"
Xiao Tang smiled faintly and thought about the situation of most of these heroes in the original work: Lin Chong was persecuted by Gao Qiu, and the unlucky Yang Zhi successively failed in the Hua Shi Gang, the Birthday Gang, Guan Sheng, Suo, and Xuan Zan,
The eight people Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui, Han Tao, Peng Qi, and Ling Zhen have all become the imperial generals among the 108 Liangshan heroes... This itself shows that most of them will not choose
Instigated by powerful traitors, they remain loyal to the end. Although many things have deviated from their original trajectory due to the appearance of Xiao Tang, the temperaments of these people have not changed, not to mention Xiao Tang believes that although their positions are temporarily different, they can still face each other in the face of the situation.
During the national crisis of the Song Dynasty, he and these people were able to reach the same destination through different routes.
Among the confidants around Xiao Tang, such as Shi Xiu, Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong, Hua Rong, Shi Qian, etc., they are all brothers who have known each other for a long time and can trust each other completely; Xiao Jiasui, Bian Xiang, Sun An, Zhu Jing and Xin
Yuan Lang and other heroes who served Xiao Tang had great disdain for the dark side of the government, so they would understand the intentions of what Xiao Tang was planning.
However, as Xiao Tang's secret line in Green Forest grows, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with some former officers and soldiers. Thinking of this, Xiao Tang suddenly realized that for the generals of the imperial court such as Guan Sheng, Suo, and Xuanzan, he
It's like the "mastermind" lurking around them, just like Gong Ziyu in Master Gu Long's works, or Li Chenzhou and Su Mengzhen in Master Wen Ruian's works...
Xiao Tang couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. One day, in order to attract generals, he might actually plot against his colleagues, Pao Ze. However, although some methods must be used, they cannot be as comprehensive as Song Jiang's.
How could a group of confidants who pretended to have the same feelings of loyalty but actually harbored resentments and difficulties what he wanted?
"Back then, I was in prison and was framed by traitors. From then on, I knew that if I wanted to find a way out, I had to use the power of the government. However, the traitors in the DPRK were wreaking havoc. If I were to join them, this country would be ruined.
Sooner or later, the fertile land of China will be trampled under the iron hooves of foreign countries. Even today, I will have many heroes. I also know how many of them are just trying to make ends meet in the officialdom. They don't understand this now, but they will understand sooner or later.
." Xiao Tang looked up at the sunset sky and said with emotion.
Yan Qingruo realized something, and he said leisurely: "The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. Those who share the benefits of the world will gain the world, and those who are good at the benefits of the world will lose the world... The place of righteousness is,
Wherever the world goes, where the way is, the world will return. If big brother continues on this road, I'm afraid it will be against the Zhao Guan family..."
Xiao Tang's eyes narrowed and he said decisively: "How can I really have any loyalty to that foolish king who brought trouble to the world? If this officialdom continues to rot, then it will only be a matter of time before I turn against him...
"
Xiao Tang and Yan Qing were talking as they walked. When they turned around the corridor in the courtyard, Tang Pengxiu, who suddenly appeared and returned, stared at them blankly. Seeing the surprised expression on Tang Pengxiu's face, Xiao Tang felt
I was shocked and couldn't help but secretly said: No! Why did this Miss Tang come back again? Did she hear what Xiao Yi and I just said!?
Originally, the back house where the female family members of Xiao Tang Mansion lived, even the confidants in the manor rarely entered, so Xiao Tang could speak freely to Yan Qing here without worrying about being heard by others. However, Tang Pengxiu could enter and leave the Xiao Mansion freely during this period, and the house
No one in the family would be wary of this lively and lovely girl. What's more, Yang Zhi, Xuan Zan and the other five people as well as Tang Pengxiu had already left the house. How could Xiao Tang expect that Tang Pengxiu was just trying to get back his Hongluan sachet?
Did you just turn back here?
Tang Pengxiu looked at Xiao Tang in disbelief. He just heard the conversation between Xiao Tang and Yan Qing. This was no less than a bolt from the blue for Tang Pengxiu. "I said sooner or later he would rebel against the emperor? Oh my god, he...he
...He actually wants to rebel!?"
Tang Pengxiu's face turned pale and she was horrified. She knew that Xiao Tang had just been favored and promoted by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and he was promoted to be the comfort envoy of South Jingxi Road and the former Secretary of the Palace, Yuhou. It seemed that he had already achieved such a position at his age.
, his official career can be said to be limitless, not to mention that he is wealthy and has a very high reputation in the world, so why does he still have thoughts of rebellion? Could it be that... he has the ambition to be the emperor!
?
This is more than just decapitation, it is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans. If others know about it, it will be a huge disaster. Now that I overheard his plan, will this enemy of mine...will kill me?
Silence?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Tang Pengxiu took a few steps back, but suddenly bumped into someone. Tang Pengxiu turned around in surprise, and saw Sun Erniang with a cold face, staring straight at her. Originally, Sun Erniang was feeling bored and had come out to relax.
When she was relaxing, she saw Tang Pengxiu overhearing the secret discussion between Xiao Tang and Yan Qing. She thought about it for a moment, and then decided to stop Tang Pengxiu's path. After some calculations in her mind, Sun Erniang sighed secretly, and there was something in her heart.
Killing intent!
Tang Pengxiu saw that the dominatrix, who was usually a bit fierce in temperament, but witty in speech and getting along well with her, was staring at her coldly. Her heart sank. At this time, she did not dare to turn around again.
, because she was afraid that the person she loved behind her would now have a fierce look in his eyes, and look at her coldly with murderous intent on his face. Tang Pengxiu would rather die than see her sweetheart looking at her with such a fierce expression.
.
"Er Niang, get out of the way." After a period of deathly silence, Xiao Tang said slowly to Sun Er Niang without any doubt.
At this time, Sun Erniang's face was no longer as playful and frivolous as before. She looked at Xiao Tang indifferently, her voice was calm, and she said word by word: "The girl from the Tang family is indeed very lovable, but she is not one of our own. .Although I am a woman, you should know very well that I am not a kind-hearted person with a woman's kindness in mind. Some things that must be done with ruthlessness, even if it involves a sea of blood, I can handle it very clearly. ..... If you still want to talk about being kind-hearted at this time, it doesn’t matter if I come and do it for you.”
Xiao Tang raised his eyelids and said in a deep voice to Sun Erniang: "I make the decision in everything, and you don't need to do anything for me. I will talk to Miss Tang about some things, and you don't need to interfere!"
When Sun Erniang saw Xiao Tang's words to warn her, she snorted coldly and turned around and walked away. As she walked, she said: "My mother Yaksha had to take care of you, Mr. Xiao, so that she could have a place to live in Xiao Mansion. The Su family Sister, I also treat you as my own sister. Since you can’t be cruel, why should I do such thankless and shameful things? I just want to advise you, since you have made such a plan, you should treat it as the Su family’s. Girls, think about it."
When Sun Erniang left, Tang Pengxiu slowly turned around, and with great effort, she opened her mouth and said, "You...won't kill me?" Before she could finish her words, two clear tears fell down her face. .
When Xiao Tang saw that Tang Pengxiu looked pitiful, he sighed and said: "Miss Tang, I have never wanted to be the rebellious minister and traitor who brought trouble to the world. I have my own reasons for doing this. I just hope that Miss Tang will remember the friendship between you and me and return the favor." For the sake of the lives of everyone in my house, please do not mention what you heard today to others. You...go back."
※※
"Brother, those who do great things do not stick to trivial matters. Although that little lady Tang has a good heart and is on good terms with eldest brother, she is not a person who is careful with her words. As the saying goes: 'The partition wall must have ears, because there is no one outside the window.' What if." Just a hint..." When Xiao Tang's confidants in the Xiao Mansion learned about this the next day, Shi Xiu thought about it again and again, and spoke to Xiao Tang in a deep voice.
But before Shi Xiu could finish speaking, Hua Rong had a cold look on his face, interrupted Shi Xiu coldly and said: "Brother Shi Xiu, I know what you want to say, so there is no need to go on." Shi Xiu squinted his eyes. He glanced at Hua Rong and finally chose to remain silent.
Xiao Tang also stayed up almost all night. He was plotting such a big deal, and he was indeed improper in keeping secrets. What Li Gong, the Imperial City's envoy to the Imperial City, said to him earlier had sounded the alarm for him, although It was an accident that Tang Pengxiu was asked to crash this time, but now that the matter is critical, how should we deal with it?
Just when Xiao Tang was at a loss what to do, Shi Qian suddenly entered the meeting hall and reported to Xiao Tang: "Brother Xiao Tang, that Miss Tang... went to the house to meet my sister-in-law again."
She actually came again? Xiao Tang was stunned after hearing this, while Shi Xiu frowned and said, "What is this little lady planning? How can she dare to come to our house when she knows that she has broken Brother Xiao's big story?"
"What a smart girl!" Xiao Jiasui, who was holding his arms and keeping silent, suddenly laughed loudly and said: "I think she did this just to reassure the young master. If she still comes here often in the future Tan, just to let us know that she will keep her mouth shut and will not tell the truth and harm the young master!"
After hearing this, Shi Xiu's expression relaxed a lot, but he thought about it again and said: "It's just that the nights are long and the dreams are many... It's not an option to procrastinate like this. In my opinion...this Miss Tang right now is not
You can't be your own person before you taste it. Since she seems to be interested in her eldest brother..."
As expected, Shi Xiu looked at Xiao Tang, gave a wry smile and said, "Brother, just accept her."
