The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 437 Li Guo's Calculation
"It would be best if I could kill this official personally. Even if I can't kill him personally, as long as he dies in the desert this time, my long-term planning will not be in vain." The man said while turning his head. Looking in the direction of the desert outside the city, his eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he could see what was happening in the desert.

Not to mention the situation of these two people here.At this time, the council hall in Changwei's county mansion was in chaos.

Li Wen knelt and sat on a high place, looking at the blushing generals and civil servants who were fighting below. There was an empty seat next to him, which meant that there was currently no one in charge of the Changwei, and he was acting as the chief.

Naturally, what these people were arguing about was whether to send troops to rescue the two sons of the Changsun family. The old man who had been following the Changsun family was naturally determined to send troops out of the city to rescue the two sons of the Changsun family.

On the other hand, there is naturally another group of newcomers, even if they are newcomers, most of them are old people who have been with the Changsun family for several years, but these people are mostly selected from Changwei.

These are two big factions in the Changwei bureaucracy. Even when Changsun Tanqing is in charge, these two factions often quarrel over some things.

Of course, this faction can only be said to be a general idea, not to say that all the old people want to send troops to rescue, and there are also those who believe that soldiers should be left to guard the long guard.Some of the newcomers also advocated sending troops to rescue.It's just that these people are relatively few compared to the entire faction.

Unlike in Li's residence, where he insisted on making Ji Wu keep the news, this time from the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word or express his opinion.

This debate ended with Qian Luhuo saying: "If Changwei is not controlled by the Changsun family, is Changwei still a Changwei?"

The final decision was to send troops to rescue, and Li Wen did not object to this result. Obviously, this situation had been expected before.

With this, he made a decision: "In this case, let's act as soon as possible. Every time you delay, the two sons will be in danger. This time, General Qian will lead the army. Prepare for one day today, and send troops to rescue tomorrow. The whole city is mobilized, let go of other things first, and everything is for this battle."

"General Qian, in this expedition, you will not only rescue the two young masters, but also eliminate the Sand Pirates in one fell swoop. You have confidence."

"Haha, Li Changshi, don't worry for now. I would like to leave the military order. If I can't complete the task, I will come to see you." Qian Luhuo laughed loudly, patted his chest and promised.

Li Wen nodded, not taking up the conversation, but stood up and said, "In that case, let's retreat and get ready to go."

After speaking, Li Wen took the lead to leave. After Li Wen left, everyone left one after another. Ever since Changsun Tanqing was poisoned, there was no one in charge of Changwei, and the county mansion was not as lively as before.

Li Wen did not leave the county mansion, but wandered around slowly in the mansion. There is a back garden in this mansion. Although it is not big, the flowers and plants in it are cultivated by servants very delicately.

It's just that because of you, most of them have withered, but there are still many hardy flowers and plants standing upright in the cold wind.

Walking along the path in the garden for a certain distance, Li Wen raised his head, and there was a vermilion pavilion directly in front of him, and inside the pavilion was a literati sitting here, with a teapot on the stone table, This literati was drinking tea while looking at the cluster of chrysanthemums next to him, looking very leisurely.

Li Wen stepped forward and sat down opposite the literati, then consciously picked up the teapot, bought himself a cup of tea, took a sip, looked at the literati in front of him and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo is enjoying himself. Enjoying the flowers while drinking tea here really makes me envious."

Guo Yu slowly looked away, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't make fun of me, what kind of enjoyment will you get, it's just a sneak in from your busy schedule."

Li Wen didn't answer, but just smiled softly.After a slight pause, Li Wen said: "The result of the discussion has come out now, and Qian Luhuo will lead the army to set off tomorrow."

Guo Yu nodded and said, "Did you find anything this time? Among the civil and military officials, there are some who show their legs."

"There are a few who are active and suspicious, but they are all old people who have followed the Changsun family. Even newcomers have made great contributions to Changwei, so we can't attack them just because of some doubts."

"There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. What we need now is bold doubts and careful verification. When the time comes, what should come out should come out."

The two talked and looked at each other with a smile, quite a feeling that everything was kept silent.

Time flies, but three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qian Luhuo has led his troops out of the city for two days, and since you are in a hurry to rescue them, the army has already moved away from Changwei in two days.During the past two days, Chang Wei was as usual, appearing to be very quiet, at least on the surface.

However, Ji Wu, as a city gate guard, inspects the passing pedestrians every day, and he has already developed a pair of fire eyes. He found that many new faces entered the city in the past two days, at least he had not seen these people before. .

Although some of these people came into the city following caravans, some were dressed as civilians, and some were dressed as peddlers, but Ji Wu could tell that these people were from the Jianghu, not to mention other things, at least they had seen human lives in their hands. Because these people's eyes don't have an equal attitude when they see the common people, some of them are just like the common people look at the poultry raised at home.

He was a little confused about what Li Wen was trying to do?In fact, he didn't understand what Li Wen wanted to do from the beginning. In his opinion, there were almost no defenders in the city, so the city gates should be closed, and the city should be guarded, waiting for the returning soldiers to avoid any surprises. situation.

But Li Wen didn't do that, and he also approached Li Wen for this. Although he didn't like this guy very much, Ji Wu felt that he was willing to sacrifice some face for the sake of Changwei.

However, not only did Li Wen not listen to him, he closed the city gate and arrested those suspicious people, but he also told him: "Now that Changwei is very safe, the sand bandits outside the city are busy chasing soldiers around. It is impossible to come to Changwei if you are killed and escaped."

In order to prove that the long guard he said is now safe, Li Wen also specifically ordered to extend the opening time of the city gate.

Ji Wu was so angry that he almost stabbed Li Wenlai with a knife. He also thought about Li Wen's scheme. For this reason, he asked the gentleman in the restaurant to analyze it. In the end, the gentleman didn't say anything, just let him It is very important to wait and see what happens, and entrust him to guard the city gate.

This makes Ji Wu very depressed, but his brain is not as smart as their group, even if he wants to break his brain, he can't figure out what these people are planning. Since he can't figure it out, he can only guard it safely. city ​​gate.
