Recently, Li Mi has been having a hard time. Although his boss Li Yuan married him a wife, he can't bear the widow of the Dugu family. There are always a lot of shit when a couple is halfway through. It's just trivial matters.
After quarreling over trivial matters, Li Mi was too lazy to talk to the woman and got drunk every day in Pingkangfang.
The biggest characteristic of women in the Dugu family is jealousy. Empress Dugu punished Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian to death. In history, Yang Jian should be the first emperor to control his wife.
The Dugu family couldn't bear Li Mi's stay at Pingkangfang overnight and became furious at home.
As for Li Mi himself, he couldn't be more depressed. I think back then he was also the overlord of one party, commanding the Central Plains and scolding Fang Qiu. Now he works for others and looks at their faces. How can ordinary people understand the ups and downs in this.
"Bodang, I regret it." Li Mi held the wine bottle and complained to his good brother Wang Bodang.
In the room behind them, Dugu was still furious. When Wang Bodang heard the sound of Dugu smashing things, his eyelids kept twitching.
"Brother regrets returning to Tang Dynasty?"
Li Mi nodded, "I thought I no longer had any ambition, but now I know that I am not willing to accept it."
Most people cannot accept the gap between being a boss and suddenly becoming a small employee with no rights.
Uncle Wang sighed, what's the use of talking about this now. Their foundations in the Central Plains have been completely destroyed, and they can't do anything even if they go back.
"Brother, why are you doing this? The matter is already at this point. It's useless to say more."
Li Mi was silent for a while, then took a deep sip of wine.
"Bodang, do you still remember Zhang Shanxiang?"
"Remember, didn't he also surrender?"
Li Mi said: "Zhang Shanxiang is now the Sima of Xiangzhou. Maybe we can go find him."
Wang Bodang was shocked, "Brother, are you ready to retaliate?"
"Are you willing to follow me?" Li Mi asked.
Wang Bodang didn't even think about it and said directly: "My younger brother swore in the early years that he would live and die with his elder brother, and this is still the case today."
"Okay!" Li Mi held his hand and said solemnly, "I will not let you down."
Wang Bodang asked: "Brother, how should we leave Chang'an?"
"Now Wagang's remaining troops in the Central Plains are commanded by Xu Shiji. Although he has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he has not really entered the Tang Dynasty. I can use this to ask Li Yuan for orders and persuade Xu Shiji to give up his troops and go to Chang'an. In this way, Li Yuan will definitely agree.
.”
"But won't Li Yuan be suspicious?" Wang Bodang hesitated.
Li Mi snorted coldly, "He will definitely be suspicious. Li Yuan appears to be honest on the surface, but he is suspicious at heart. If he wants to gain his trust, he must leave Chang'an with his ears and eyes."
"Brother, are you prepared?"
"Yes." Li Mi turned around and looked at the crazy woman in the room, with cruelty in his eyes.
Early the next morning, Guanglu Qing Li Mi asked Li Yuan for orders, willing to go to the Central Plains to persuade Xu Shiji to give up his army and go to Chang'an to become an official in the court.
Li Yuan was very happy about this.
This was not over yet. Li Mi then requested that Chang'an order Dugu Huaien to follow him to help him complete this matter.
Li Yuan felt happy. He was originally thinking about how to get the members of the Dugu family to Li Mi, but he didn't expect that he would bring it up himself.
Good brother, there is nothing to say.
Therefore, Li Yuan readily agreed and appointed Li Mi as the Henan Province's arresting ambassador. Dugu Huaien was his deputy and led thousands of people to the Central Plains.
Dugu Zhen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
When the dynasty dispersed, he found Li Mi.
"How certain are you, why don't you discuss it with me in advance?"
Li Mi is now the son-in-law of the Dugu family and is half of the Dugu family. What he did made Dugu Zhen very unhappy.
Li Mi bowed and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Dugu, we are 100% sure of the secret."
Dugu Zhen warned: "Hua En is going with you, you'd better not do anything you shouldn't do."
"Yes." Li Mi lowered his head and showed a smile.
Not far away, Li Zhiyun had a panoramic view of this scene.
He looked back at Wude Hall, as if he could see the saint on the throne.
Could it be that all this is Lao Li's calculation?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun stood on his head with all the hair on his body.
Chang'an, Mingde Gate.
"This is Chang'an? It's really extraordinary." Cheng Yaojin looked at the crowded Zhuque Street with some emotion.
"Shubao, haven't you been to Chang'an before?" Niu Jinda said.
Qin Qiong nodded and said: "That happened during the Daye Year. At that time, I followed General Zhang to Beijing to report on my duties."
Mentioning Zhang Xutuo, all the brothers were slightly silent.
Li Junxian said: "Don't worry about this for now, let's ask where King Chu is."
After some inquiring, everyone learned that the Chu Palace was located in Chongrenfang, so everyone hurried to Chongrenfang.
The closer they get to Chongrenfang, the more everyone feels like country bumpkins entering the village.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said: "Damn it, this is no worse than Luoyang. I really don't know why Yang Guang wants to go to Jiangdu. If it were me, old Cheng, he would never run away."
Qin Qiong frowned and reminded: "Yizhen, this is Chang'an, don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."
Everyone was talking and approaching the Chu Prince's Mansion.
"Stop, this is the palace of King Chu. Who are you?" The soldiers in front of the door stopped everyone.
Li Junxian stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Two brothers, we are old friends of the King of Chu. Please inform us."
"Is there a famous assassin?"
"I came here in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare for the future. Please forgive me, two brothers."
The soldiers did not ridicule them because of their ordinary clothes, but said tactfully: "If you don't have a famous assassin, I can't pass it on for you."
Li Junxian was immediately in trouble. Even if they had a famous assassin, they wouldn't be able to do it.
You can't write 'Wagang Li Junxian' on your famous tattoo.
At this moment, a man in green robe dismounted in front of the house.
"See Du Shenjun." The soldier clasped his fists and saluted.
Du Ruhui looked at Cheng Yaojin and others, and then at Li Junxian. He felt like he had seen Li Junxian somewhere.
"Du Shenjun, these people said that they are old friends of the King of Chu and have come to visit the King. However, they have no famous assassins and their humble positions do not dare to let them in." The soldiers explained at the side.
Du Ruhui looked at Li Junxian and asked, "May I ask your name?"
"I'm Li Junxian."
Li Junxian?
Why is this name so familiar?
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he remembered that the man in front of him was the Wagang general who was captured in Xingyang that year.
"It turns out to be General Li, sorry." Du Ruhui smiled and clasped his fists.
He remembered that the king admired this person very much, but it was a pity that he was not successful in recruiting him at that time. Li Mi was defeated and returned to Tang Dynasty, and the king specifically asked the people in the Ministry of War if there was any Li Junxian.
Unexpectedly, he came to the door himself.
Li Junxian hesitated and said, "Do you know me?"
"We know each other. We met once in Xingyang, but General Li may not have seen me."
Li Junxian was embarrassed at first, and then became happy. This person knew about Xingyang, so he must know about himself.
"I would also like to ask this brother to introduce me to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. I am very grateful."
Du Ruhui laughed loudly, took his hand and said, "The king has gone to court and will be back soon. A few friends will follow me into the palace first, and then the king will personally receive you all."
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't want to be blocked at the gate.
Cheng Yaojin quietly gave Li Junxian a thumbs up, "Brother, you are awesome and reliable!"
