Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1976

"I see. Since you have already met Mr. Guo, please leave quickly. Mr. Guo has many misunderstandings with Patriarch Li. If you let him know what happened today, I'm afraid it will be bad for the young lady."

"You...you drive me away?"

"How can this be regarded as driving you away? Didn't I just say it? I was afraid that the matter of your visit to me would be known by the Li family and cause more trouble."

Chunxiang smiled slyly and said, "Mr. Qin, are you afraid of Li Quan?"

"Joke, in terms of identity, I am the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Quan is just a small supervisory censor. In terms of money, I, Guo Ye, are as rich as an enemy. Even if the five major noble families add up, they are not my opponent. I will be afraid of him? I'm just worried about your safety, little lady."

"You are not afraid of Li Quan, and neither are the slaves!"

"How can it be the same?"

"Why is it different? Could it be said that as the Duke of Qin, he can't protect the little girl?"

"what do you mean……"

Chunxiang bowed down and said: "My family wants to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and I hope Duke Qin will take him in!"

"This...Miss Chunxiang, please, can you give Guo a reason why you want to betray Li Quan?"

"I want to say that it is for the grace of saving lives, do you believe it or not?"

"Of course I don't believe it! If you want to repay your kindness, you should turn to Uncle Yin, not me, Guo Ye!"

"Qin Guogong, you are right." Chunxiang nodded and said, "Actually, my family's defection to you is not for revenge, but for revenge."

"Revenge? What kind of hatred do you have with Li Quan?"

"The revenge of killing the husband! The slave family has a husband. Li Quan killed the husband of the slave family in order to occupy the slave family. Who else can the Tang Dynasty help the slave family deal with Li Quan, except Qin Guogong?"

Guo Ye pondered and said: "This is a big matter. If you want me to believe you, your one-sided words are not enough. I don't know if you have any other evidence to prove that you really betrayed Li Quan, not deceived me."

"Of course! The slave family also knows that if you want to take refuge in someone, you have to have your own capital. It's a pity that the slave family has no property. Although this person looks good, there are so many beauties in Duke Qin's mansion, so you may not be overly impressed. You have prepared a special gift."

"what gift?"

"The whereabouts of Monk Tianfu."

"What did you say?"

"To be precise, it is the whereabouts of monk Tianfu's family."

Hearing this, Guo Ye was as happy as if two doors had been opened in his heart.

Strongly restraining his excitement, Guo Ye asked, "Is it true?"

"Of course it is true. Li Quan's secret matter can be hidden from others, but not from my family."

"Where is Monk Fu that day?"

"Not far from Chang'an City, Jiuyi Mountain! Monk Tianfu and his family are all there!"

"Isn't that where His Majesty's palace is located? What is he doing there?"

"Of course not in the palace, but in a place called Bliss Villa near Jiuyi Mountain. Li Quan was thinking about rebellion, how could he do without soldiers? So, he bought a villa and renamed it Bliss Villa. Most of the Jianghu figures recruited are placed there."

"Damn it! Chang'an City is so close to Jiuyi Mountain. At the critical moment, he can definitely recruit those thieves into the city as a surprise army, follow the example of the Xuanwumen story, and make another mutiny to seize the throne!"

"That's right, that's exactly what Li Quan came up with. Lord Qin, is this news from my servant enough to be a vote of honor?"

"Enough! Enough is enough! But..."

Guo Ye suddenly frowned, and said, "Miss Chunxiang, if Li Quan finds out that you are missing, will he be worried about the incident and make preparations in advance? When Monk Tianfu runs away, he will try to avenge you , I am afraid it will be indefinitely."

"Qin Guogong, what do you mean..."

"Someone Guo has an unfeeling request. You go back to him first, and wait for a few days to wait until I catch Monk Tianfu before you leave Li's residence. Of course, this matter involves great risks. If the lady does not agree, Mr. Guo will have no complaints."

"In order to get revenge on Li Quan, this concubine is willing to do anything. I will return to the mansion right now, and we will meet later!"

……

After Chunxiang left, Guo Ye suddenly realized that it was too early for him to be happy.

As usual, as Chang'an Ling, the leading general of the Weifu, with soldiers in his hands, it would be no problem to deal with the bandits in Bliss Villa.

But now, just relying on his status as the Duke of Qin, he can't mobilize the army.To rely on the dozens of soldiers under his command to wipe out that group of thieves is undoubtedly a dream.

As for relying on his own influence to mobilize some old subordinates... To be honest, he really can't mobilize.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, deploying troops privately is tantamount to treason!

If Guo Ye really rebelled, seeking wealth and wealth, maybe someone would really be willing to fight with him for the kindness of the past.

But this is obviously not it, it is just to encircle and suppress some grassroots bandits.Who is willing to take the risk of ransacking the family and exterminating the family to do such a thankless thing with him?

Of course, Guo Ye can also mobilize the power of the West Factory.But in this way, wouldn't his West Factory be exposed again?

The East Factory was disbanded, and the West Factory came again. Can His Majesty Li Er spare him?

In desperation, Guo Ye took advantage of the darkness and came to Yu Chigong's house.

For his late-night visit, Da Lao Hei was not surprised, and said with a smile: "What? Brother, you don't plan to pretend to be sick anymore?"

Guo Ye smiled wryly: "It seems that you can't hide anything from old brother, how did you know?"

"Hey! My brother, Yu Chigong, can he be pissed to death? It's nonsense! If you had a little heart, you wouldn't risk the world's shame with me and rob His Majesty at the Longevity Conference. The elixir of immortality is gone. Come on, why are you pretending to be sick, and what is your intention?"

"Uh... It's still related to the five great gentry families. The specifics involved a lot of confidential matters, so I don't want to disclose them to you, but I hope my brother will forgive me! Now the little brother came here late at night, and I have something to ask my brother for help!"

"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, there is no other way!"

"Borrow soldiers! According to reliable information, monk Tianfu hides the five great noble families in the Bliss Villa near Jiuyi Mountain. I want to borrow a soldier from you to raid the Bliss Villa, capture Monk Tianfu, and completely move the five noble clans. fall?"

"But I wonder how sure you are of this information?"

"Don't dare to lie to my elder brother, it should be more than [-]%!"

"Fifty percent? It's not too low! If there are more than 100 numbers of soldiers and bodyguards in my hands, I will hand them over to my virtuous brother! I wish you success in the first place!"

"Thank you, brother!"

……

The personal guards in Guo Ye's hands, together with Yu Chigong's men, totaled 200 people.

That's a lot.
