Chapter 234: All's fair in war
When Li Tai left Zhitang, he saw that Yu Laoer was still waiting in line, but he was almost there.
But when Yu Lao Er was about to walk into the side room of the main hall where Yu Wenhu was, Yu Wenhu suddenly rushed out of the room, turning a blind eye to Yu Yi who was in a hurry to greet him, and just walked quickly towards the room where he was about to leave. Li Tai, waved his hands and shouted: "Boshan, stay!"
After hearing this, Li Tai stopped and looked at Yu Wenhu trotting over with a little breathlessness. He raised his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Sabao, what are your orders?"
Yu Wenhu showed a slight displeasure on his face, pointed at Li Tai and said: "The invitations I made several times before were all silent. If you don't go out and shout this time, you won't come to see me either. How deep anger can make people Becoming so unfamiliar!”
"Brother Sabao has misunderstood me. I have been busy with chores in the past few days. Today I entered the government and received a heavy responsibility. I feel melancholy. I really don't have time to see people, and I am afraid of disturbing Brother Sabao's case..."
After hearing this, Li Tai said with a wry smile.
Yu Wenhu is now also in charge of secrets in Taifu, so he naturally knows what Li Tai's important mission is. After hearing this, he laughed happily: "I invited you the day before yesterday and wanted to talk to you about the inside story, but you refused to come. Now, Did you feel flustered and have a headache when you entered the mansion and accepted the order in a hurry? "
After Li Tai heard this, he sighed and nodded with regret. He did feel a little regretful. Although Yu Wenhu couldn't decide any major plans of the Tai government, if he could have known the inside story of Du Zhi earlier, at least he could have killed him more accurately when he bargained with Su Chuo just now.
"But even if you were informed in advance, the responsibility would still be unavoidable. It's strange that Mu Xiu is good at managing things. The government has discussed this matter several times, and your name has been mentioned frequently. It's very difficult to avoid getting involved. Disaster."
When Yu Wenhu said this, he also envied Li Tai in his heart. Although it is a headache to have heavy responsibilities, the greater the ability and the greater the responsibility, Li Tai can be mentioned frequently in various agendas, which also means that His abilities have been recognized by the Taiwanese government.
Especially this year, being able to lead an army to participate in the parade is undoubtedly a very important resume. Even when Yuwenhu himself was still in the military position last year, he had not yet received such independent treatment. No wonder Yuchigang would Taste.
Yu Wenhu came over, patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said: "It's not convenient to elaborate at the moment. When you have free time, let's sit down and talk in detail. Regarding the specific matters, I can't help you much, but the political benefits of the states and counties I probably know a little bit about it, and can give you some pointers to make more flexible choices.”
"Then I really have to thank Brother Sabao first!"
Li Tai was also overjoyed after hearing this. Although he could not intervene in the specific affairs of the state and county, it would be more convenient to conduct some exchanges and raise funds if he could check the details of the personnel where he lived.
After a pause, he continued: "It's just that I have urgent matters today, so I'm afraid it won't be convenient for me to stay in the city for a long time. There are too many things that need to be done. Although there are still two months, it is still urgent."
"I understand. You can go on your own. After a few days, I will go to the Dushui Administrative Office to look for you."
After hearing this, Yu Wenhu nodded thoughtfully, then waved his hand and returned to the main hall.
Seeing him like this, Li Tai murmured in his heart, feeling that this guy was a bit weird in showing off his hospitality for nothing, perhaps not just for enthusiastic advice on government affairs.
But he didn't think much about it. He left Taifu directly, returned to his home to tidy up, and then led his followers to leave Huazhou City.
They had just left the city when the sound of galloping horses could be heard from behind the main road outside the city. Li Tai turned his head and looked over, only to see dozens of rich slaves riding in bright clothes riding out of the city, looking quite menacing. The first one was none other than Yu Laoer, who had been waiting in line to sign in in Taifu.
The muscles and bones of Yu's wings are still tender, and he has to be held in his arms by his family to control the tall horse. Now he has changed into a riding costume with pleated hakama. There is quite an angry look on his delicate face. You can see him hiding on the left side of the road when he is passing by. Li Tai and his entourage looked stunned for a moment, and then became a little embarrassed. The servants rode forward to say hello: "Is the Governor leaving the city and returning home?"
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded, then pointed at the group of people traveling and said, "Erlang was still in the mansion just now, why are he here all of a sudden? There are many people on the road, so traveling in such a high spirits will inevitably lead to hidden dangers!"
He saw Yu Laoer and his entourage rushing out of the city, and the cars and horses on the road were frightened to avoid them, so he spoke to remind them. At the same time, I was also a little bit curious. Was this kid so depressed by his cousin that he wanted to go out of the city to go wild?
"The Grand Governor didn't know... Well, I have nothing urgent to do. I wish the Grand Governor a safe journey, so I'll leave now. I'll come back to the city the next day and pay another visit."
Yu Yi was a little surprised at first, then quickly changed the subject, said goodbye for a while, and then signaled the slave to continue on his way.
When Li Tai heard this, he felt even more confused. Hearing what Lao Er meant, was there anything he should know but didn't? What did he miss?
Seeing that Yu Laoer was heading somewhere west of the city, he led his troops to take a look. Although this group of people was in a hurry, they did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. Although Li Tai and his group were not in a hurry, they did not get lost.
After traveling more than ten miles away, there was a hill in the plain ahead. From a distance, Li Tai saw two groups of people standing on the hill in a confrontation. There were about two to three hundred people on each side. Yu Laoer, who had just been in a hurry, led the way. The house slaves joined one of the parties.
This scene looks like a confrontation between two armies, but it is obviously not a random crossing of the border. There are more than 10,000 troops stationed around Huazhou City, and there will never be any blind bandits who dare to approach here.
Recalling Yu Laoer's hurried appearance just now, Li Tai immediately guessed that it was the military boys who were bored after school and brought their slaves to a fight outside the city?
Before he could climb the hill, he stood at the foot of the slope and watched from a distance. People came up to meet him. The leader was a Huazhou city defense commander. When he got closer, he recognized Li Tai and suddenly said with a surprised look on his face: "Could it be that Commander Li is also here?" Are you here to have some fun?"
After hearing this, Li Tai waved his hand, pointed at the two groups of people confronting each other on the slope, and asked, "What's going on?"
After hearing this, the city defense governor breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed: "Before noon, young men from various wealthy families led their servants to gather here. The general was ordered to come forward for questioning but was repelled. He had no choice but to watch here. , I hope there won’t be any big trouble.”
Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this. It was true that the dandies from Huazhou City came here to have a fight. He happily got off his horse and stood at the foot of the slope to watch the excitement, and asked the city guard with interest. Governor: "Whose sons are all on the slope?"
The governor was not as relaxed as Li Tai. After hearing this, he frowned and said, "There are the Dukes of Zhongshan, Changle, and Wu'an..."
Li Tai originally had a smile on his face, but his face darkened when he heard this. Why the hell did he see it coming to him while watching the excitement? Shuifeng and Li Ya, the two little bastards, hadn't returned to Shangyuan a few days ago, so why did they return to the outside of Huazhou City to have a fight with the Zhao Gui family?
On the hillside, Zhao Yongren, the second son of Zhao Gui, looked at Yu Yi leading his slaves to join Shuofeng and the others. His expression turned ugly. He pointed at Yu Yi and said: "Yu Erlang, I have never made a bad impression on you. In the school, Still classmates..."
Yu Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "Since the matter started because of my family affairs, I have to participate, and I hope in my heart that we can make peace. But I know that you two have a lot of resentment. If If we don't fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade peace..."
Li Ya, who had already been waiting a little impatiently, clapped her hands and cursed: "Zhao Nu, you were the first to provoke the fight. My brother is not afraid. Now that everyone is here, he can only speak with his fists and feet, and your brother has lost a limb." , I will add a good thing to your family today!”
When Zhao Yongren heard this, he was furious: "Li Jiu, the dog thief, that day when the car was damaged, you colluded with several Bodhidharmas inside and outside for bribery, and even beat me with several Bodhidharmas, and you still have face..."
"Ha, I am a distant relative of the girl's family, and I have a share in the carriage. My brother Damo is the groomsmen of the groom's family. I am here to welcome the bride, asking for money to buy the way, and to add to the fun! What kind of idle goods are you, and you want to force yourself into it? I didn’t have enough fun to beat you up that day, but I’m just having fun today!”
Li Ya couldn't let this guy expose her scandal, so she waved her wooden stick and rushed towards the opponent with a roar, followed closely by several phoenixes. Seeing this, the other relatives, friends, and slaves were not far behind. They each roared and soon started fighting.
Although it was just a private fight, the participants on both sides were all disciples, and they were familiar with the rules of military combat. It was not as chaotic as ordinary street fights, and the separation and separation of advance and retreat were actually somewhat exciting.
Li Tai originally planned to step forward and shout to stop, but seeing that Shuofeng's side had the advantage temporarily, he stopped worrying and watched a show first while letting his troops spread out in formation on the slope. , ready to pull the trigger at any time.
Although these brats were not big, they were very angry. In addition, there were many slaves in each group. The fight lasted for less than half an hour. There were no broken bones or blood. After all, the slaves were aware of the situation. , Dare not go to death to take revenge on your own lord.
On the contrary, those boys got excited and used all possible means to dig out their vaginas and seal their eyes. Those slaves spent most of their attention on besieging their husbands and did not dare to let them get close to each other.
Towards the end, although there were no casualties, everyone gradually became exhausted and lay down on the hillside to rest.
Li Tai watched from a distance as Li Ya yelled fiercely, but she retreated quickly. She lay on the side panting for a long time, a typical example of a den.
Seeing that the fight could no longer continue, he led the crowd up the hillside, pointed at a few boys who were exhausted but still stared at each other like cocks, and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for!"
Only then did the two parties see Li Tai clearly. The young men were naturally a little panicked, and the domestic slaves were also in a hurry to receive him.
Originally, the situation had calmed down temporarily, but Li Ya, who was still lying on the ground like a plague chicken just now, took advantage of everyone's attention on Li Tai and sneaked into the queue of Zhao Gui's slaves, knocking Zhao Yongren down with a headbutt, and his horse jumped Fists rained down on the man: "I will teach you today what it means to never tire of deceit in war!"
