"I didn't expect that Mrs. Liu, who is famous in the capital, turned out to be a practicing scholar. She really can't be judged by her appearance." Wan Lei stood outside the door of the woodshed, while Mrs. Liu and Liu Wan were locked in the woodshed, and their hands and feet were tied up with ropes.
Tied into rice dumplings, they are no different from prisoners.
"I never thought that Mr. Wan, who claims to be the number one son of the Shuntian Mansion, would be so shameless, break promises, bully the young, and imprison others privately." Mrs. Liu responded tit for tat, without the consciousness that a prisoner should have.
However, Wan Lei didn't like to argue with women, so he didn't bother to be more serious about who didn't trust him first. He just said calmly: "You have done so many things, don't you just want to ask me out to talk? The environment here is also quiet,
Now I'm alone, so we can talk."
"Bah, we are your prisoners now, but you can never find out anything from us." Mrs. Liu said angrily.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. You stay here for the night and someone will escort you out of the city tomorrow. However, you have been included in the list of undesirables in Beiping City and are strictly prohibited from entering in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for not informing you in advance." Wan Lei also said.
There was no intention to kill these two women.
Although the origins of these two women are unknown, one thing is certain: their main purpose is not to assassinate, otherwise they would not have issued an "invitation letter" before taking action. And the fight just now was not so much an assassination as an assassination.
Calling it a martial arts contest, they wanted to use this method as a show of force to gain the initiative.
"Are you really going to let people go? Don't be just hypocritical." Mrs. Liu naturally didn't believe it, but Wan Lei didn't bother to argue with her. He closed the door with a wave of his hand, turned around and left. Looking at Wan Lei's leaving back,
She became anxious and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say."
"Mom, don't believe him. If he knows the truth, he will definitely betray us." Liu Wan had already woken up and said anxiously.
"Wan'er, my mother is getting old and she doesn't have many years left to live." Mrs. Liu and her "daughter" looked at each other and sighed: "Half a life is wasted and a lifetime is hard to come by. It's better to give it a try. This risk must be taken."
"You have a quarter of an hour." Wan Lei turned back.
"Actually." Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and thought deeply for a moment, made up her mind, and then said: "Actually, we are on the same journey, and we can cooperate to achieve great things."
"Fellow traveler?" Wan Lei shook his head and said, "You think too highly of me. Although I don't know where you came from, I'm just a small workshop owner who has made a fortune. I'm definitely not on the same path as you."
"Young Master Wan, there is no need to fight anymore. Based on my understanding of the young master, I must have a big plan. I also sent people to check the origins of your wife and the origins of those young Taoist friends. If the young master does not have great ambitions, he must not have any great ambitions."
I will live in the same room with them." Mrs. Liu said calmly.
"Oh, it seems that you have a lot of connections and know a lot of things. However, in this world of chaos, knowing too much can lead to death. Aren't you afraid that I will kill someone and silence you?" Wan Lei said in front of him.
Said expressionlessly.
"What's so scary about this?!" Mrs. Liu didn't take it seriously and added: "The origins of those little Taoist friends are easy to check. Once you check, you will know that they are Master Zhang's disciples. However, Madam Liu's origins are very bad.
Check, I spent a lot of effort to find it."
Mrs. Liu paused and then said: "Fu Wei, nicknamed Wei'er, is the granddaughter of Fu Youde, Duke of Ying. Her father, Fu Rong, was a general. In the 27th year of Hongwu, Duke Ying was sentenced to death and the whole family was implicated. The eldest son, Fu Rong, lived abroad as a general.
After hearing the news, they fled in a boat and crossed the Huangpu River at night.
The boat sank in a strong wind, and all the people and goods sank to the bottom of the river. The next day, a farmer on the riverside rescued a girl, named her Liu Wei, and later sold her to the Liu family of Lehu. The Liu family raised her for several years and took her north to Peking.
Siyiyuan opens a shop and is considered the number one. What do you think, am I right?"
When Wan Lei heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he said seriously: "This is just your own guess. As for my wife's life experience, I have never asked about it, nor do I want to ask about it."
"Haha, you are duplicitous. You don't want to ask about anything. In the final analysis, it's just because you care about my wife's low background, and you are embarrassed or disdainful to ask." Liu Wan sneered.
"I don't care if my wife is born poor or rich. I just know that she is my wife at this time. If anyone dares to speak rudely to her face, I will not forgive him." Wan Lei glared at Liu Wan and said angrily.
Liu Wan wanted to make sarcastic remarks again, but Mrs. Liu stopped her and said: "I have been in the capital for many years and have been fortunate enough to visit Duke Ying's mansion several times. I have met the young Miss Wei'er. When I saw her a few days ago, I suddenly felt seventy or eighty.
They are very similar, so I sent someone to verify them. If Mr. Wan doesn't believe it, you can ask Madam."
"So what if it is? My wife and I just want to live a peaceful life, and we don't need to mention these old things."
"How can you just forget about a blood feud? Since your lady doesn't remember family feud like this, she is really forgetting her ancestors. It's normal that she doesn't dare to take the surname Fu again." Liu Wan snorted coldly.
"If you only want to talk about this, then I won't accompany you." Wan Lei waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
"Master Wan, please go slowly. When I talk about this, I don't mean to expose my wife's scars. I just want to tell you: We are both fallen people in the world, so why should we know each other before we meet. If we make friends now, we can take care of each other in the future."
." Mrs. Liu said hurriedly.
"Make friends?" Wan Lei frowned and said, "The basis of making friends is mutual trust. I don't even know where you are from now. If I make friends with you, God knows if I will be betrayed."
"
"My surname is Liu, and my name is Moye. My father, Liu Futong, was once the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Later, he was plotted by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was trapped in Anfeng. I thought about revenge all the time. My adopted daughter Wan'er had a similar life experience to my wife.
, originally the daughter of the Liang Kingdom, her father was unjustly killed, her family was plundered, and she was rescued secretly. There are many people with the same life experience. They regard her as their foster mother, and together they hold up the banner of destroying the Ming Dynasty and plot to take revenge."
"Yes, until we slaughter all the evil descendants of the Zhu family, we will not be human beings." Liu Wan (Lan Wan) said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, since you want to seek revenge from the royal family, just go ahead and handle it. I will not participate." Wan Lei waved his hands and said, "I feel sorry for you to stay here for one night. I will send you out of the city tomorrow."
"Young Master Wan said this because he looked down on me for not having the strength, right?" Mrs. Liu glanced at Wan Lei coldly, and said: "To be honest with you, I have no less capital than you. Without your help, I won't be able to help you."
It can be done successfully, but it just takes longer.”
"Since you have already made preparations, what are you waiting for? Take action. I promise that we will never help each other, let alone tell the court secrets."
"Master Wan, do you think I would be stupid enough to let you stay out of the matter and sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers?" Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
"What do you mean by this? Are you threatening me?" Wan Lei asked with a frown.
"I don't dare, but before I take action, I will definitely find a way to make the imperial court surrounded by enemies, and wait until it is dying before taking action. With the strength of the Peking Army, they will not be afraid of the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops. If the imperial court has hundreds of thousands
With the army being held back, the capital must be empty, and it will be much easier for me to do things. The young master is so shrewd, I am afraid he understands the truth better than me." Mrs. Liu's smile became even stronger.
"So, you want to use the Peiping Army to lead the charge as a scapegoat. Yes, this is a really good idea. However, you are not afraid that our Peking Army will surrender to the imperial court and besiege you together."
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. That's why I came to Peking to discuss important matters with Mr. Wan. Let's do this. You and I will become allies and advance and retreat together. In the future, we will use the Yangtze River as the boundary and divide the world. What do you think?"
"It's not that good. I have a few major generals in the Peiping army. Even if I divide the world, I can't hold it. What's the use?" Wan Lei is not hot-headed. After all, the world is not a map. It does not mean to draw a line and say it is yours.
It's yours, but it needs enough soldiers and government officials to control it.
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Wan Lei. She was obviously surprised by his maturity and stability. She calmed down and said, "I didn't say that I would start an incident now. I just wanted to talk to the young master first. If the young master is like this,
If you are willing to conspire and work together, I will give you a big gift first."
"Big gift? What kind of gift?" Wan Lei couldn't believe it. The other party was bent on conspiracy, and he didn't do a very good job of concealment. He didn't look like someone who could achieve great things. After all, it's enough to be aware of things like rebellion, even if you are determined to do it.
If you rebel, you have to keep the words of rebellion in your stomach, and you can't say what you say.
"I have a way to make the imperial court change generals and replace them with a mediocre General Zhenbei, giving the Peiping Army a few years of stable development. Is this a great gift?"
"Oh, you still have this ability?" Wan Lei suddenly became interested. If the shrewd Mr. Xu can be replaced, it will undoubtedly be a blessing for Shuntian Mansion.
"Everything depends on manpower. Today's emperor is fatuous and has an empty reputation. I still have some connections in the capital. They can use their words to persuade the court to change generals when the battle comes. As for the replacement of brave and brave generals, it is better to replace them with weak and incompetent generals.
.." Mrs. Liu reached three points and looked at Wan Lei with a smile on her face. The implication was self-evident.
"Since I have a generous gift to accept first, I have no reason to refuse your kindness. So, I promise that I will never turn to the imperial court in the future. As for dividing the world, I don't dare to dream about it. I just want to keep the peace of Shuntian Mansion."
Wan Lei said sternly, but what he said was not entirely true, because what he wanted was not to divide the world, but to take it all.
"I am giving this great gift to the young master to strengthen his army and prepare for war. In the future, there will be a flanking attack from the north and the south, so that the final battle can be determined in one battle. If the young master still wants to stay out and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, that would be very insincere." Mrs. Liu frowned.
.
"Then what do you think we should do to cooperate?" Wan Lei asked.
"It's very simple. Before Lao Shen raises his troops in the future, the Peiping army led by the young master must first raise his troops to rebel and hold back the main force of the Ming army. Lao Shen's troops will attack the capital in one fell swoop. After the war, the Yangtze River will be used as the boundary to divide the world and unite all forces.
Kill the royal family of Zhu Ming and the remnant army of Ming."
"This..." Wan Lei hesitated for a while and then asked: "How long do I have to prepare?"
"It can take as long as four years and as little as two years."
"Two years? It's too short a time."
"Master Wan, please rest assured. As long as the master is sincere, I will use my connections in Shandong and Shanxi to open the door for the master to smuggle grain, grass and weapons. I will definitely be able to strengthen our army within two years."
"Well, since I have the advantage first, what else can I say. But I have promised not to send people to conspire and corrupt our Peiping Army in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for not keeping my word."
"This is natural. Since you and I are allies now, isn't this rope..." Mrs. Liu shrugged and smiled.
ps: There's been a lot going on these two days, so I can only update a single update, sorry...
