Chapter 627 An Lu's Hobby

In March of the second year of Qingping, the late spring breeze finally blew to Hebei Road. The Yellow River had thawed, the spring rain was moist, the water was gurgling, and the forests were covered with green clothes, and the land of Hebei became full of vitality.

A few months have passed since the armistice, and Youzhou's vigilance has gradually relaxed. The merchants traveling to Youzhou no longer investigated. The dozen checkpoints set up on the official road are useless. Although there are still soldiers garrison, the soldiers are only responsible for monitoring armed organizations such as the army and escort agencies, and have turned a blind eye to the merchants' entry and exit.

Since Li Qing'an's scout did not burn the grain warehouse, the New Year in Youzhou this year is still as lively as usual. With the arrival of spring, the people of Youzhou seem to have forgotten the shadow of war and become more active with the pace of spring.

Youzhou Hongyun Restaurant is also one of the famous restaurants in Youzhou. Every day, there are many diners here. There are also many well-informed people who dine here, and they publish some current affairs comments from time to time and reveal some exclusive secrets. Therefore, many people who are interested also come here to dine here deliberately, making the restaurant's business particularly prosperous.

At noon that day, Hongyun Restaurant was still as lively as usual, especially the second floor was filled with diners, and bursts of laughter came from time to time. In a corner by the window of the second floor, a young man with a baby face sat in a corner of the second floor. He then scouted Ji Sheng, the leader of the Anxi Army. Ji Sheng came from Tangxing County. One winter, An Lushan launched three encirclements and suppression of the rebels hiding in Baiyangdian, and dispatched 30,000 troops. Although he did not finally destroy Zhang Xun's rebel army, it also caused heavy losses to the people following Zhang Xun. In addition, the severe winter and lack of food, many people could not survive. Some died, and some chose to leave. Now Zhang Xun's subordinates are only more than 400, and Ji Sheng also had a brother unfortunately died of illness. This time he brought three brothers to Youzhou as merchants, mainly to buy a batch of injured medicine. By the way, he inquired about An Lushan's situation.

While drinking, he listened to various news in the hotel with his ears.

The lobby on the second floor was extremely lively, with nearly a hundred drinkers gathering together, listening to a man who was storming An Lushan's privacy. In Youzhou, talking about An Lushan has become a big favorite among Youzhou people. His gossip and gossip flowed out from various channels and spread among the people of Youzhou in various ways, or because of the Hu people, An Lushan didn't care much about how the people talked about, but in fact he couldn't control it. As long as he didn't talk about the secrets of his army, he would just talk about him anyway.

There was a proud middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the crowd. He looked like he was just a lazy man on the streets and alleys, but what he said was not something that ordinary people could know. It made people suspect that he had a relative who was An Lushan's confidant. The content he talked about was a topic that all men were interested in.

"................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Is there anything unexpected that he just lay there and let those women sit one by one?"

"Go! You know, who is the King of Yan? Conquering the world, everything must be in his control. How could he tolerate women sitting on him?"

"He is so fat, how can you do it? Are you bragging!"

"It's rare!"

The middle-aged man who broke the news sneered, "Why didn't I know that my nephew is his closest confidant. What he told me in person would be fake?"

The middle-aged man raised everyone's appetite, and everyone clamored, "Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly! How did you do it?"

中年男子脸上露出暧昧的笑容,压低声音对众人道:“他让十个女人除去衣裙,赤着身子跪在矮榻上,然后他的两个心腹侍卫左右扶着他,另外还有一人在背后推他,这样一前一后,一进一出,一个一个来,那岂不是是快活之极?”

The middle-aged man’s revelation caused a burst of laughter, and someone laughed strangely: “Old Li! Is your nephew the one who helped him? Or the one who pushed him?”

The middle-aged man smiled, but refused to say it. He said to everyone again: "Guess why King Yan likes white and plump women?"

"Then Is there anything hard to guess? I like it too!"

Everyone burst into laughter again. Many people reacted very quickly in this kind of thing. Someone immediately thought, "Is it because of the imperial concubine?"

众人恍然大悟,大堂里一片嘘声,安禄山喜欢杨贵妃,这是天下人皆知的事情,是安禄山亲口说出,而且他说杨贵妃根本没有死,就藏在某处,这大家也相信,这种大美人怎么会轻易死呢?

“说对了!就是杨贵妃的原因,燕王对她一直梦萦魂牵,多次去找她,可就是找不到,没办法,他只好多找像贵妃的女人来解相思之苦,居说燕王有过悬赏,替他找到贵妃者,赏钱十万贯!”

The reward of 100,000 yuan caused another surprise. At this time, the restaurant shopkeeper squeezed in and cursed with a smile: "Old Li, you are influencing my business again!"

The middle-aged whistleblower immediately raised his hand and smiled, "The shopkeeper has spoken, let's go for a meal! I'll tell you something more exciting next time."

Everyone returned to their seats with a smile. Ji Sheng was very interested in the middle-aged man named Li. He pointed to the old Li who broke the news with chopsticks, and asked the drinker at the same table with a smile: "What he said is just a joke!"

同桌酒客摇了摇头道:“应该是真的,他侄儿就是安禄山心腹侍卫李猪儿,他是李猪儿唯一的亲人,从小将他养大,李猪儿视他为父,所以这些安禄山的隐秘他能知道.”

"So that's it. He is so proud of An Lushan's privacy. Aren't he afraid that An Lushan will arrest him?"

The drinker looked at Ji Sheng in surprise and said, "My friend is not from Youzhou, right?"

"I am from Zhaozhou and come to Youzhou to do business."

“这就难怪了,你是不知道,这种男欢女爱之事安禄山从不在意,他自己都公开说他思杨贵妃而不得,不过你要记住了,别提军队,别提李庆安,这是他的两大忌讳,别的随便你说.”

Ji Sheng nodded, and he looked at the middle-aged man named Li again. He saw that he got up and was about to leave after dinner. Ji Sheng suddenly felt a sense of professionalism. He felt that someone was monitoring the middle-aged man.

Sure enough, as soon as the middle-aged man went downstairs, the two young men sitting diagonally opposite him also threw a handful of copper coins on the table and followed him downstairs.

From the details of the movements and postures of the two men decisively leaving, Ji Sheng quickly judged that these two soldiers were two top soldiers, and they were top soldiers like scouts. Ji Sheng changed his mind and took out a piece of silver dollar and put it on the table. He waved to the hotel staff, and followed them downstairs.

The middle-aged man who broke the news was named Li and was Li Zui. He was originally a idle street gangster. His nephew was An Lushan's confidant Li Zhuer. Last year, through his nephew's relationship, he found an errand to keep an errand in charge of the military warehouse. He went to bed at night, and was idle during the day, eating wine and drinking tea, and getting a little bit more of An Lushan's privacy that he heard from his nephew. Naturally, there were people who were flirting to pay for him, and he was happy to be free.

After lunch, according to his daily habits, he should go to a nearby small teahouse to have tea, stay there until the afternoon, and then go home. Not far from the teahouse, he will pass through an alley. Li Zui walked slowly into the alley while humming a song and headed towards the teahouse.

But he had just walked into the alley less than ten steps, and quickly walked up to the two of them, patted Li Zui's shoulder heavily. When he turned around, he saw a big fist hitting his face. He was knocked unconscious before he could shout. At this time, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Ji Sheng was just fifty steps away, and he watched the two men knock Li Zui over the ground and waited for the carriage to drive away, the alley was empty, as if nothing had happened.

Ji Sheng's horse was stored in the inn. He couldn't catch the carriage, so he had to sigh at the carriage that was leaving. However, he also felt strange. Who caught this person? It should not be An Lushan. An Lushan's people should give his nephew a face. Who could it be?

Ji Sheng originally thought that Youzhou would be controlled by An Lushan like an iron bucket, but now he suddenly realized that the undercurrent was as turbulent as a calm situation!

At this time, one of Ji Sheng's subordinates rushed over from behind and whispered in his ear. Ji Sheng was surprised, "I got the medicine!"

The subordinate nodded and said, "I got a lot of them, they are all the best Jinchuang medicines, but the other party asked for a very expensive price."

"It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. As long as the medicine is real, you should also pay attention to the other party. Who is the other party?"

"The other party is a military doctor in An Lushan's camp, and he only recognizes money but not people."

"Military doctor?"

Ji Sheng's heart moved. Will there be any chance here? He pondered for a moment and immediately said: "Take me to see this military doctor, I want to have a good talk with him."

In a large mansion outside Youzhou City, Li Zui woke up in a groan of pain. He found himself lying on the soft bed. There were several blurred figures beside the bed. Gradually, the few figures became clear. Li Zui was shocked. The one standing in front of him with his hands behind his back was Shi Siming, the second-ranked figure in Youzhou.

However, Shi Siming's smiling expression calmed down slightly. He quickly wanted to get up, but Shi Siming held him down and smiled and said, "You have any injuries on your head, don't move!"

Li Zui felt a split headache. He touched his head and then realized that there was gauze wrapped around his head. He was stunned. He was just punched, how could it be?

Shi Siming said to him softly: "The person who wanted to capture you was Li Huaixian. My subordinates happened to find him. They wanted to kill someone to silence him, but my people snatched him. Sorry, you were stabbed in the head."

Li Zui was a little confused. Li Huaixian, the third person in Youzhou, and Shi Siming and him turned against each other for themselves. Why? When did he become so precious?

"Shi Shuai, I don't understand very much."

"Actually, it's very simple. Li Huaixian is for Li Zhu'er. You are Li Zhu'er's only relative. It's obvious that he wants to use you to threaten Li Zhu'er to achieve his goal."

"But....."

Li Zui couldn't ask, why did Shi Siming compete for him?

Shi Siming patted his shoulder, not wanting to explain much, and smiled and said, "You can rest assured to recover your injuries here. In short, I will not let Li Huaixian find you, this is related to the future of the Yan army."

After saying that, Shi Siming clapped his hands and immediately four charming women came in. Shi Siming told them: "Serve Mr. Li well. If he is unhappy at all, I will take your life."

"yes!"

Four fragrant beauties immediately sat beside Li Zui, pounding his legs and rubbing his chest. The sound of orioles and swallows made Li Zui feel like he was in a dream. When did he have such enjoyment in his life? He couldn't help but touch the most beautiful woman among them.

Seeing that his lustful nature was revealed, Shi Siming couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart, comforted him a few more words, and turned around and left.

Walking into the yard, Shi Siming ordered several guards and said, "Give him whatever he wants? Let him die of drunkenness and dreams, and finally let him do things for me wholeheartedly. Do you remember?"

"Yes! I understand."

Shi Siming quickly walked out of the courtyard, and his confidant Geng Renzhi came to report: "Shi Shuai, the servant A Duosi has arrived, waiting in the study."

Shi Siming was overjoyed. He had been waiting for almost half a month, and he walked to the East Courtyard impatiently.

Pugu Aduos is the eldest son of Pugulie, the chief of the Pugu tribe in Mobei. After Pugu Huai'en died, Pugu was divided into two parts. Some people still followed the Uighurs to the north, while others chose Pugulie as the new chief, went south to rely on Anlushan, and were placed on the grassland in the northern part of Youzhou by Anlushan.

The reason why Pu Gulie defected to An Lushan was actually because of Shi Siming. Shi Siming was also a Turkic person and had a deep personal relationship with Pu Gulie. It was him who sent a letter to Pu Gulie and invited him to go south to rely on him.
