Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Liu Bai sat under the wintersweet tree in his yard, making a pot of tea as usual.

He likes this wintersweet tree very much.

You can enjoy the cool in summer and enjoy the flowers in winter.

The only disadvantage is that the fruit of the wintersweet tree is poisonous and cannot be eaten.

Otherwise, what kind of wild fun would it be to drink a few cups of good tea and pick a few fruits at random?

Liu Bai dispersed everyone in the front yard, drinking tea while waiting for someone to come.

"Calculating the time, it's almost time"

Just as Liu Bai was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared on the wall.

As soon as he turned over, he jumped down and knelt down in front of Liu Bai.

"See your lord!"

Liu Bai nodded and said, "When you came, was there someone following you?"

"My lord, when this subordinate goes out, be very careful, no one will notice!"

Liu Bai rolled his eyes, and said, "Since no one is following you, why are you still wearing that big hood? It's summer, and you're not afraid of getting prickly heat!"

The man smiled mischievously and took off his hood.

It was Gao Tan, the envoy of Goguryeo who was loyal to Liu Bai after being drugged!

"The subordinate heard the call from the lord and rushed over immediately. I don't know what the lord wants?"

Seeing Liu Bai goodbye, Gao Tan looked very excited.

Although the medicine that Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen concocted together sounds like ecstasy powder, its effect is more like a kind of ecstasy.

Just like a baby beast just born, it regards the life it first sees as its parents.

In Gao Tan's eyes, Liu Bai is the sky!

Liu Bai asked him to sit down and asked, "What's going on recently?"

"Returning to the lord, this time Quan Yanchi and his subordinates, under the order of Gao Jianwu, sneaked into the Tang Dynasty secretly, and brought a total of 120 masters with them."

Gao Tan told what happened.

Only then did Liu Bai know that it was precisely because they couldn't steal potatoes among the people that they attracted the attention of the warriors.

The most unlucky person at the moment is the samurai Xun.

Only he can be tempted by money.

After listening, Liu Bai couldn't help but gasped.

120 masters!

Gao Jianwu probably sent out all the trustworthy people around him!

After all, he is not Li Er, and there are countless people in the palace to protect him.

How big is Goguryeo?

It is very rare to be able to gather 120 masters.

From this point alone, it can be seen that the disaster situation in Goguryeo has reached various levels!

At the beginning, the vermicelli worth less than 100 million shi was estimated to be a drop in the bucket.

"Samurai Xun has already stated that he will secretly contact the people of Sinong Temple to steal five thousand shi of potatoes from the grain storehouse in Chang'an City!"

Liu Bai frowned and asked, "Who is in Sinong Temple?"

A look of panic flashed in Gao Tan's eyes, for fear that Liu Bai would blame him.

He hurriedly stood up and knelt down on one knee again.

"The subordinate is incompetent, so let's investigate!"

Liu Bai waved his hand helplessly, making him stand up.

The effect of that medicine is that it is not good.

Those who took the medicine were terrified of Liu Bai to the core.

Du Chuke, who is strong and strong, has become a kowtow when he sees Liu Bai now.

"There's no need to check it, just go back and report it if you have any news!"

"My subordinates respectfully obey my lord's orders!"

After Gao Tan finished speaking, he jumped over the wall and disappeared.

This is a big matter, and the court should be reminded.

Otherwise, future expeditions to Goguryeo will be even more difficult.

Liu Bai still intends to let Xue Li take this great credit!

Writing a letter in the study, halfway through writing, Liu Bai stopped.

He frowned and thought about it, crumpled up the letter, threw it directly into the wastebasket, and put away the brush.

"This may not be an opportunity"

Although Changsun Wuji has not yet entered Zhongshu Province, more than half of the six ministries and nine temples under Shangshu Sheng's rule are firmly in his hands.

As the yamen in charge of grain storage in the world, Sinong Temple was protected like an iron bucket by the eldest grandson Wuji.

This incident may become an opportunity for Liu Bai to snatch Sinong Temple over!

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the importance of Sinong Temple is no less than that of Liubu!

After figuring out the key point, Liu Bai reached out and tapped lightly on the window sill.

Xu Chu immediately opened the door and entered!

"Master!"

"Command Shen Wansan, Wang Shouren, and Chai Lingwu to come quickly!"

Saying that, Liu Bai slapped his forehead.

I almost forgot, Shen Wansan is still 'resting from illness', the big shopkeeper of the Liu family is still Wushun

Even if Shen Wansan can make up his mind, Wu Shun should do what he ordered.

"Call Cheng Qian and Wu Shun over!"

Chapter 332 A fig leaf is still necessary

As soon as Li Chengqian dragged Wu Shun into the door, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Before Liu Bai arrived, there were already many people sitting in the hall.

Shen Wansan and Wang Shouren sat on either side of the main seat, one on the left and one on the right.

Unless there is an emergency, the two of them will not appear at the same time!

Outside of Shen Wansan's master, although Wushun has become the big shopkeeper, all fools know that Wushun is just a messenger, and Shen Wansan is the real master.

With his current status, no merchant in the entire Tang Dynasty would dare to disobey an order.

Even if Dai Zhou saw him, he would call him 'Brother Shen'!

Wang Shouren's reputation seems to be less than that of Shen Wansan.

But Li Chengqian knew very well that in the entire Liu family, Wang Shouren was the number two figure after Liu Bai!

Few people know that apart from possessing perverted skills, Wang Shouren is also a great Confucian, no less than Wang Ji!

Except for them, Li Chengqian suddenly found out that he didn't even know the other people in the hall!

But being able to sit here shows that they are also core members of the Liu family!

Standing at the door, Li Chengqian told Wu Shun a few words, telling her not to talk nonsense, and then walked in.

"Chengqian is here, sit down."

Wang Shouren said lightly.

Li Chengqian nodded, pulled Wushun, and sat down with Shen Wansan.

He lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Uncle Shen, these people"

Shen Wansan slightly closed his eyes, and said, "Don't ask too many questions."

Li Chengqian's heart trembled.

Today, I'm afraid something big will happen again!

He secretly looked at those unfamiliar faces, and found that although they were dressed differently, they all had the same knife on their waists.

Among them, there is a woman!

She looks soft and weak, but Li Chengqian keenly sensed that this woman carried a chilling murderous aura!

He gets along well with the Xuanjia Army, and is very familiar with this kind of murderous aura!

That is the temperament that only those who have truly experienced fighting to the death and breaking through the sea of ​​corpses and blood can possess!

ta ta ta

Seeing Liu Bai coming, everyone got up one after another.

"Master!"

Liu Bai waved his hands and said, "Everyone sit down!"

The people in the front yard were all dispersed, and Xue Li, who followed Li Chengqian, seemed to know something too.

He consciously stood at the gate, not allowing anyone to disturb the meeting.

After Liu Bai sat down, he said calmly, "Hongying, did you find anything?"

Li Chengqian subconsciously looked at the only woman besides Wu Shun.

Sure enough, that woman was the Hongying that Liu Bai was talking about.

She stood up, clasped her fists heroically, and said, "Master Qi, it has been found out that Wu Yuanqing, the eldest son of the samurai, had colluded with the Taicang Office of Sinong Temple, intending to secretly escort five thousand shi of potatoes from the Jinguang Gate when tomorrow is ugly." Out of town!"

"Does Wen Daya know about it?" Liu Bai asked.

Wen Daya is the current Zhengqing of Sinong Temple.

However, he seldom went to the Yamen of Sinong Temple in person.

Because the position of Secretary of the Sinong Temple is only a part-time job, and his main job is the Minister of Rites!

"From the current evidence, Wen Daya didn't know about it!"

Liu Bai nodded.

Including Wang Shouren and Shen Wansan, they all looked relieved.

Although the Ministry of Rites and Sinong Temple are in the hands of Changsun Wuji, Wen Daya is not his.

To put it bluntly, Wen Daya is just a puppet.

No matter how arrogant Changsun Wuji is, he still can't replace all the six books with people who are related to him.

The fig leaf is still very necessary.

However, the reason why Liu Bai and others were worried was not because of Changsun Wuji.

It's because Wen Daya is Wen Yanbo's elder brother!

As Wang Ji's nephew, Wen Yanbo has a very good relationship with the Liu family, and he would visit them from time to time.

If Wen Daya is used as a knife, it will always hurt the hearts of his own people.

Since Wen Daya has nothing to do with this matter, there is nothing to hesitate.

Li Chengqian was confused.

Sinong Temple?Potato?Wen Daya?

Where is this going?
