"You and I are outside the villa and can't follow the owner all the time. It's okay if the time is short. If it goes on for a long time, aren't we old people going to be overpowered by these newcomers?" Li Ergou said with some resentment. said.
"You, what do you mean? Li Ergou, let me warn you, you are here today because of the owner of the village." Wang Dacai's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold light, "If you dare to have any objection to the owner of the village, I will The first one will kill you."
"Go, go, go! What are you thinking about!" Li Ergou rolled his eyes and sighed quietly: "Our village owner can suppress thousands of troops with one hand, will people care about us? I just think we should Follow the footsteps of the village owner and don’t be caught up by the newcomers. After all, we were also the Western Heavenly Kings of Qingyun Mountain at the beginning, weren’t we?”
Li Ergou's joke made Wang Dacai feel a little more solemn.
Yes, although they work hard, no matter how much money they make, it will not have much effect on the owner of the village who is like a god. If they want not to be overtaken by the newcomers, they still have to find ways to please the owner. OK.
After thinking for a while, Wang Dacai asked Li Ergou, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Li Ergou's eyes revealed a smile, and he said with a lewd smile: "Then didn't Li Erniu create a bright road for us?"
Wang Dacai's eyes flashed, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Li Ergou in disbelief, "You, you mean..."
"Yeah!" Li Ergou nodded with a smile on his face.
Wang Dacai thought for a moment, clapped his hands suddenly, and said with a smile: "Hey! You two dogs are really a fucking genius!"
"Are you so complimentary?" Li Ergou rolled his eyes.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Wang Dacai asked hurriedly.
"Come here, come over here," Li Ergou hooked his fingers, then leaned into Wang Dacai's ear and whispered: "Aren't you selling perfume and soap here..."
……
"Hehehe, Ergou, you are such a fucking genius!"
In the Privy Councilor's Mansion.
The pale-faced Tong Guan sat on the chair at the top of the lobby.
His eyes scanned the many officials in the lobby like a falcon, and then he smiled and said, "What's going on, everyone? You are here, why don't you say something?"
A fat official stood up and said: "Prime Minister, you said that the officials are trying to justify Fan Xiwen and the others, but..."
"Insolent!" Tong Guan said coldly, looking at the official with slightly narrowed eyes, "Xianggong Fan is the prime minister of the dynasty, how can you call him by his name? You don't even take the dynasty's prime minister in your eyes, you still have something in your eyes Us? And the thoughts of the officials are beyond your ability."
"Yes, the villain knows his crime, the villain knows his crime!" The man begged for mercy again and again with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Hmph! I won't do this next time!" Tong Guan snorted coldly.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Prime Minister, thank you very much!" The official thanked him repeatedly and sat down.
Another official who looked a little pale rolled his eyes, stood up with a smile, cupped his hands to Tong Guan, and said, "The Qingyun Mountain Campaign is about to be launched. I wonder how the Prime Minister can teach us?"
The rest of the people all sounded agreeable.
Hearing this, Tong Guan raised his hand lightly to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he spoke slowly: "Sending troops to suppress thieves is a good thing in exchange for peace and security for the people! As ministers, we naturally have to share our worries with the officials. ”
Everyone nodded and pricked up their ears to listen to Tong Guan's next words.
Just listen to Tong Guan continue: "In that case, everyone should act according to the regulations, and at the same time, take the opportunity to do some things that need to be done."
All the officials nodded in understanding. What does it mean to act according to the regulations? The army of the Song Dynasty had strict mobilization procedures. If they followed the regulations one by one, they would not be able to fight for at least a month or two!
Fan Fuzhong.
There was a worried look on Fan Zhongyan's old face. There were several thin officials sitting in the living room, including Li's father.
"Alas! It seems that the officials are also powerless!"
"Then what should we do?"
"Those in the Privy Council will probably delay it again and again."
…
After listening to these words, Fan Zhongyan's eyes shot out a cold light, stood up and said to several people: "I, the Great Song Dynasty, are seriously ill. If we want to cure the disease, in addition to good medicine, we also need warmth and tonic. We must not do it overnight."
Someone looked at Father Li and said, "Uncle Wen, what do you say?"
Li's father knew that this was Fan Zhongyan asking him for his opinion on the dispatch of troops to suppress the bandits. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Unfortunately, my little girl was kidnapped by the thieves. As a father and a courtier, I should fight with the army." We go to Qingyun Mountain together to rescue the little girl, this is our duty!"
Fan Zhongyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Then he sighed and said, "It's just a pain for you, father and daughter."
Father Li shook his head slightly and said with a forced smile: "My little girl has read the books of saints since she was a child. Even if she learns about it, she will also support me!"
"Master Li is so righteous!" The other people who reacted bowed and clasped their fists.
Father Li sighed with a lonely expression.
In the city of Kaifeng, it can be said that the situation is turbulent, and people from all walks of life are showing off their magical powers.
On Qingyun Mountain, there was a lot of trouble.
The reason was that Laifu, the housekeeper of Li Mansion, went to Qingyun Mountain.
Laifu did not break into the mountain secretly like Dayong and the others before, but came in openly and respectfully.
First, he said that he was here to visit his young lady. The guards guarding the mountain didn't want to inform him and were about to drive them away.
I happened to meet Xu Fu who was setting up a formation outside the villa.
After learning about Laifu's intentions, Xu Fu asked people to take Laifu up the mountain first.
In the living room of the villa, Zhang Dao suddenly became interested today and invited several ladies to eat roasted whole lamb.
Wang Yuyan and the girls, who had already eaten it, all agreed, but Li Qing'er said that it was something from the grassland, and the mutton had a strong smell and she didn't want to eat it.
When the roasted golden and oily mutton was served, Li Qing'er took a bite with Xu Qinglian's encouragement and said it was really delicious.
Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, someone came and reported that a visitor was here, and they clearly came to see Li Qing'er.
Zhang Dao looked at Li Qing'er with a smile, and then asked someone to bring Laifu in.
As soon as Laifu entered the living room, he saw his young lady holding an iron skewer and eating with her mouth full of oil. She was a little excited and calmed down immediately.
Seeing that the person coming was the official Laifu, Li Qing'er quickly dropped the iron sign and said in surprise: "Uncle Laifu, why are you here?"
Laifu's face trembled, and he said with a slight tremor: "The master is afraid that the young lady will be wronged on the mountain, so he specially ordered me to come to visit the young lady."
As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhang Dao who was looking up.
Li Qing'er also looked at Zhang Dao, obviously waiting for him to speak.
Zhang Dao picked up a piece of cloth and wiped his mouth, then asked: "Who are you?"
Laifu took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Laifu, the chief steward of the Li Mansion, has met the owner of the village!"
On the way here, he was informed by his followers that Qingyun Village had already been renamed Qingyun Villa, hence the name.
Zhang Dao nodded slightly, "Qing'er is your young lady?"
"Exactly!" Laifu's tone suddenly turned cold, because he found that there was no one else in the living room at this moment except the bandit leader and several of his wives.
Moreover, he started to investigate as soon as he entered the house, and found that these ladies who pressed the village were only second- or third-rate, but the bandit leader had no breath at all, so he suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.
