People’s intelligence is not for fear. When a person uses his intelligence to reduce his fear, he will find that his intelligence is no longer enough. No matter what he does or how he does it, he will not be able to
Guess the opponent's attack direction.
Zhuo Wangsun is in this state now. A family gathering of Su Ren was interpreted by Zhuo Wangsun as a conspiracy, and it was a conspiracy against him. He didn't even think about it, if Su Ren wanted to plot something, why would he come to his door?
Why bring along someone as insignificant as Huo Qian?
After walking around the room twice, Zhuo Wangsun still felt something was wrong and said to the housekeeper: "Go and find Li Sima. He participated in the conspiracy and must know what he is talking about!"
The housekeeper sighed softly and went out to do business. Only Zhuo Wangsun was left in the room. Through the wall and gatehouse in the front yard, you could just see the eaves of Cuixiang Building opposite. It was a very ordinary eaves with no carved beams or painted pillars and no various decorations.
The house is guarded by mythical beasts, and the slightly upturned eaves are covered with tiles, which look like the tip of a sword piercing the sky under the canopy.
Zhuo Wangsun wanted to see his daughter, but he did not dare. His daughter was recognized as the most talented girl in Shu. She had been the apple of his eye since she was a child. No matter what happened, Zhuo Wangsun would not allow her to be treated in the slightest.
Hurt. Speaking of which, it was a good thing for his daughter to leave home. At least he believed that Su Ren could save his daughter's life for Sima Xiangru's sake.
There was no light in the front yard, so it was dark. Zhuo Wangsun opened a door of the wing, and it was dark inside. A voice suddenly asked: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Zhuo Wangsun was not frightened. He turned around and closed the door gently. He saluted into the darkness and said, "Today, Su Ren and his men were drinking and chatting in the Cuixiang Building opposite. I think he has already begun to set his sights on us."
, should we send that batch of goods out of the city as soon as possible? Staying in the city is always a hidden danger!"
The voice was cold and a little old, and he spoke slowly: "Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid!" Zhuo Wangsun said: "Because I know Su Ren, that's why I made such a request. Su Ren can do anything. Even if we rob him, we will not let these soldiers and armor be transported out of Chengdu.
"
"Didn't you say you were well protected?"
"It's indeed very good, but Chengdu is only so big. With Su Ren's ability, it would be easy to find out."
Heiying was silent for a while: "How are you going to transport it out of the city?"
Zhuo Wangsun thought for a while: "Now that Chengdu has been sealed off by the county soldiers, soldiers and armors are only allowed in and out. Obviously, it is definitely not possible. I have sent people to find Li Cheng, hoping to find out from him
If we can find a way, of course we can't place all our hopes on Li Cheng, it's best to go through the secret passage, which is the safest!"
"Secret passage?" Black Shadow shook his head: "Absolutely not. The elders have ordered that the secret passage is just in case. It cannot be exposed because of this incident."
"Then there's only Li Cheng, but he has already taken refuge with Su Ren, just in case..."
"There is no such thing as a contingency. If these weapons are not handed over for a day, you will be responsible. There is no room for negotiation on this matter!"
"Can……!"
The black shadow interrupted Zhuo Wangsun: "Okay, you go, I want to rest!"
Zhuo Wangsun sighed and could only leave the room. He was always worried about the weapon in his hand. If something happened, he believed that the lives of his whole family would be in danger. He returned to his study room decadently, and the housekeeper had already returned.
As soon as he saw Zhuo Wangsun, the housekeeper said quickly: "We have made an appointment. Li Sima will come over later. Master, do we really want to cooperate with Li Cheng? He has now joined Su Ren!"
"Who else can we trust besides him?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "We have been abandoned by the merchants and have become a lonely family. Meng Ji is dead, and Tang Meng will not care about our affairs. Only this Li Cheng is greedy for money.
If you are lustful, give me more money, I believe he will help us."
"Can……"
Zhuo Wangsun waved his hand: "There is nothing to do. You go to the back door and watch. If Li Cheng comes, bring him immediately. This matter cannot be delayed any longer!"
Su Ren drank a little too much and lay on the bed humming. Leng Yue went to bed early because she was too sad. Only Huang Shisanmao took care of Su Ren. One moment he put the tea bowl into Su Ren's nostrils, and the next he took it out of his face.
The basin was used as a cleaning bucket for Su Ren. Huang Shisan's principle is to use whatever is convenient and whatever is convenient. Su Ren only got a rub on the head by Huang Shisan, and then drove Huang Shisan out.
Li Cheng looked at Huang Shisan squatting at the door, smiled slightly and saluted: "Have you had a rest, Captain?"
Huang Shisan glanced at Li Cheng: "Just wait, I'll report it!"
There was not much time, and Li Cheng was invited in. Su Ren stayed drunk and tidied up the room that Huang Shisan had messed up. He lay on the bed and rubbed his head while saying: "Li Sima, come here now."
,What’s the emergency?”
This was at Su Ren's house. Li Cheng did not hide it and said quickly: "Just now the housekeeper of the Zhuo Mansion came to see me and said that Prince Zhuo invited me to come over. I came here specifically to tell the captain."
"Zhuo Wangsun, what does he ask you for?"
Li Cheng shook his head: "I didn't say it, but I think it may be important. Zhuo Wangsun has never taken the initiative to find me in the past."
"So it seems Zhuo Wangsun is in trouble. Maybe it's the armor he built privately. That's good!" Su Ren suddenly became excited: "After you go, no matter what Zhuo Wangsun asks you,
Everyone agreed, as long as he moves, I will have a way to deal with him!"
"No! I understand!" Li Cheng stood up, saluted again and stood up to say goodbye.
Su Ren lost his sleep and immediately asked Huang Shisan to find Gou Tianming, Huo Jin and Liu Gao. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Zhuo Wangsun's soldiers were hidden very secretly, and there was no news. Since Zhuo Wangsun had
If he notices something, that's his chance.
"Old Liu, starting from today, the entire Zhuo family will be under surveillance for twelve hours a day. Everyone in his family must report everything they did during the day. Then go to Thirteenth Niang and ask him to instruct the blind man to cooperate with you.
, you need to know every move of the Zhuo family."
"No!" Liu Gao agreed and immediately turned around to get busy.
Su Ren then said to Huo Jin and Gou Tianming: "From now on, each of you will lead a hundred guards to guard the gates of Chengdu. As soon as there is news from Liu Gao, take action immediately."
"Action? What for?" Hawking did not understand what Su Ren said.
Gou Tianming looked at Hawking with contempt: "What else can you do, get armor? Are you planning to let your men fight with bare hands?"
Hawking instantly became energetic and his eyes were shining: "Really? Where can I get it?"
Su Ren smiled and glanced at his two military commanders meaningfully: "Whoever has armor can get it from him. Go and prepare. Let's take action tonight!"
When Li Cheng stepped into Zhuo Mansion, Zhuo's house was brightly lit and there were many busy people in the backyard. Li Cheng had never seen these people before. They were not Shu people at all. This could be judged from their appearance. Shu.
They were thin and small, but these people were tall, much like northerners. Li Cheng looked at them as he walked, and the eyes of those people were not very friendly, and they all looked at Li Cheng with squinting eyes.
Zhuo Wangsun was standing on the steps, waiting for him. With Zhuo Wangsun's status and connections in Chengdu, although he was just a businessman, he was not comparable to a Sima like Li Cheng. It was the first time that he stood on the steps to greet him.
Li Cheng saluted, and Zhuo Wangsun nodded slightly: "Li Sima came as promised. I am very grateful. Please come in!"
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Zhuo!"
The food and wine have been served, and they are very sumptuous. They should be high-quality banquets brought from Cuixiang Building in Xishi City. Instead of sitting separately, there is an Eight Immortals table and two Taishi chairs facing each other. It can be seen that Zhuo Wangsun puts his status very low. It should be
I have something important to ask for.
After drinking three glasses of wine and chatting for a while, Zhuo Wangsun suddenly said: "It's been seven or eight years since Li Sima came to Shu County, right?"
Li Cheng nodded: "Yes, eight whole years!"
"In these years, Li Sima has been living alone in Chengdu with no one to take care of him. Isn't it very inconvenient?" Zhuo Wangsun put down his chopsticks and poured wine for Li Cheng himself: "I have a distant relative who lives with me, and I have a daughter at home who is twenty-eight years old.
It just so happens that we are getting married. If Li Sima is interested, I can make peace with you!"
"Ah!" Li Cheng had thought a lot before he came. He guessed from Su Ren that Prince Zhuo wanted something from him, and he also thought there would be temptation, but he didn't expect the temptation to be so great. Li Cheng didn't react for a long time and didn't say anything.
"Haha!" Zhuo Wangsun smiled slightly: "My fair lady and a gentleman are so timid, Li Sima doesn't have to do this. If Li Sima is interested, I will try my best to facilitate this matter!"
"Is this this? This matter is too sudden. Can you allow me to think about it?"
"Of course!" Zhuo Wangsun glanced at Li Cheng: "My niece is beautiful and virtuous. She will come to Chengdu in a few days. I will ask Li Sima to meet her then and we will know. My distant relative is also a merchant, but we
Chengdu only allows merchants to enter but not to leave, so this matter is a bit difficult to handle!"
Li Cheng immediately said: "Why is this so difficult? I'll take it on myself. As long as Shopkeeper Zhuo's relatives come, I'll be able to leave the city!"
"Very good, very good!" Zhuo Wangsun picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Li Cheng: "This is very good, very good!"
After this incident, the banquet between the two became lively. Li Cheng kept asking about the niece Zhuo Wangsun mentioned, and Zhuo Wangsun also tried his best to cooperate. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and laughter kept coming from the room. Standing there
The butler at the door curled his lips and sneered several times: "He is also a drunkard and a womanizer!"
After the third watch, Li Cheng was carried out of Zhuo Mansion by two servants of Zhuo Mansion. The housekeeper supported Zhuo Wangsun and stood at the door to see him off, and kept watching the carriage pulling Li Cheng as it turned around the street. Zhuo Wangsun immediately replied to
His original normal figure, his two eyes glowed again.
"Master, now we can transport the goods out of the city!"
"Haha!" Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "Everyone has weaknesses, even Su Ren has weaknesses, let alone Li Cheng! Get ready and leave the city immediately to avoid complications!" (To be continued)
