Chapter 2, Chapter 31: The person is in great disgrace.
Anwu County is more than 40 miles away from Jingzhou. Even if a fast horse is sent to rush the report, it will take an hour to go back and forth.
It was already dusk when Guo Cunxin arrived at Zhoucheng.
He was fine when he saw Xi Kangsheng, but when he left and met Li Chengzhi alone, Guo Cunxin's legs were shaking.
Only then did he know what Li Chengzhi had done.
What a trick to hide the truth and cross the sea, Li Daitao is frozen.
Li Chengzhi actually let thousands of white-armored soldiers fake their deaths and escape under Xi Kangsheng's nose?
If this isn’t the grave sin of rebellion, what is it?
And Li Chengzhi is clearly preparing for rebellion...
No wonder that that night, Li Shi sent an order saying that Li Chengzhi asked him to close the city and clear the city walls?
It turns out that I was afraid that people in Anwu City would hear the news...
"It's too risky..." he hissed, "If it's not good, it will be doomed..."
Li Chengzhi said in a cold tone: "If you don't do it, the outcome may not be much better..."
Guo Cunxin was startled.
Is this really true?
If those four thousand soldiers and two brigades of cavalry had not escaped, how could Li Chengzhi be so carefree at this time?
Not to mention letting him go back home, even if he is not under house arrest, he is still under surveillance.
Fortunately, God bless us, and there is no danger...
"The matter has come to an end. It's useless to talk more...but we still have to keep a close watch and guard against leaks..." Guo Cunxin narrowed his eyes, "How many people in the city know about it right now?"
How many?
According to the plan, except for Li Rui, there were not even half of them.
Who would have thought that every one of them was so scheming, with just a few clues, he could see through his own plan?
For example, Li Yun, Zhang Jingzhi, and Guo Cunxin in front of me...
So, compared with these old foxes, I am still a little immature...
Li Chengzhi sighed sadly: "In addition to Li Rui and his uncle, Zhang Sima and Governor Li may also be added..."
Guo Cunxin's pupils shrank: "How did Li Yun know? Also, what do you mean by 'possibly'?"
Li Chengzhi told the story of his failure in acting.
Guo Cunxin breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that Li Yun was just guessing instead of seeing it with his own eyes, or does he have any evidence?
Unless there is irrefutable proof of such a thing, who would admit it?
So it doesn’t matter what Li Yun guesses, and with the connection between the two families, it’s unlikely that Li Chengzhi will be stabbed in the back for the time being.
As for Zhang Jingzhi...
"You should be more proactive!" Guo Cunxin sighed involuntarily, "To be disrespectful, your uncle-to-be is very vindictive..."
Li Chengzhi nodded fiercely: "Uncle, don't worry!"
Why doesn't he understand this?
Now that we have reached this point, if we continue to pretend we don’t know anything, it will be a bit offending.
Not to mention the uncle-in-law, even the biological father and son may be separated from each other...
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard a sound on the door of the central hall. The two people turned around and saw that it was Zhang Jingzhi.
I don’t know what Xi Kangsheng told Zhang Jingzhi alone, but looking at his face, he was very calm.
Zhang Jingzhi just nodded slightly: "I'm afraid Huaide is tired of waiting, so let's go!"
Li Chengzhi responded and ordered Li Rui to clear the way.
……
A curfew has been implemented in the city, and apart from the soldiers searching for the remaining thieves, not a single person is seen on the streets.
It should be that Da Xi had known about the meeting in advance. Whenever any soldiers saw the broken flag with the word "李" printed on it, they would either stay away from it or hide on the side of the street and salute.
Li Chengzhi was so moved when he saw it: He never thought that one day, he would also be able to taste what it was like to be a "street cleaning tiger"?
After walking two streets and seeing that there were fewer soldiers on the street, Li Chengzhi dismounted and winked at Li Rui again.
Li Rui understood immediately and ordered his guards to disperse, leaving a distance of three to four feet from Li Chengzhi.
It seems that Li Chengzhi has something to say...
Guo Cunxin was suddenly startled: "Why don't you go back home first?"
Li Chengzhi hesitated for a moment, then pondered: "I guess it won't be too quiet after returning home!"
That's your home, why can't you be quiet when you go back?
Just as he changed his mind, Guo Cunxin suddenly came to his senses.
Is Li Chengzhi guarding against Li Shixian?
His heart darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jingzhi.
In Li Chengzhi's heart, his father's importance is not even comparable to that of Zhang Jingzhi?
Zhang Jingzhi's face darkened, and he almost cursed out loud: You Guo Cunxin, you have to guard against me?
But when he heard Li Chengzhi's next sentence, he was shocked again: "It's better to... slow down for a while... at least wait until 'they' settle down before talking..."
Does Li Chengzhi's so-called "slow down" not refer to Li Shixian?
And the "them" in his mouth can only refer to Li Song and the Baijia Camp who have fled west...
This is obviously because he is afraid that Li Shixian will lose his temper and cause trouble if he acts too hastily, so he wants to hide it from him first...
But this is not what scares Zhang Jingzhi.
What he didn't expect was that Li Chengzhi even wanted to guard against Li Shixian, but he didn't even think of hiding it from him?
This shows how much Li Chengzhi trusts him?
Zhang Jingzhi couldn't stop feeling excited.
After pondering for a long time, Li Chengzhi said: "I have been planning a lot in the past few days, and my uncle and Sima must have known about it. To prevent the walls from having ears, I won't say more...
There is one thing that I have to ask my uncle and Sima: As of today, the war has been settled, and the imperial reward has not yet arrived. I will definitely stay in the Governor's Mansion to obey orders. With so many people watching, if I want to be alone
It won’t be so easy to go out or meet guests...
Therefore, I will secretly order everyone to report the news and report it to my uncle first. If there is an urgent report or any changes, my uncle can send a close messenger to inform me. If it is inconvenient, I can also forward it to Sima and wait for an opportunity.
Give me..."
The two breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Li Chengzhi doesn't want to rebel now...
Zhang Jingzhi thought about it and was still a little worried: "Although the person is gone, where is the rest?"
"Don't worry, Sima!" Li Chengzhi said confidently, "As soon as the person leaves, all the traces will disappear, and there will be no trace of the horse...it will be Governor Li, that is, he will just be suspicious..."
What beginning and end can there be?
Li Song took all the people who made iron, forged knives, made medicine, made wine, and even built the blast furnace, burned the refractory bricks, and melted the bronze Buddha monks and craftsmen away.
.
Both the Kongtong Mountain and the outside of the city, the arsenal, the medicinal wine shop, etc. were all burned to the ground. Even if the police from later generations were called, absolutely nothing would be found.
In addition, he had made arrangements in Lijiabao... so Li Chengzhi was not worried at all whether someone would find out something afterwards.
The only thing he worries about is Li Shixian.
I have been thinking about it for almost ten years. Suddenly one day, I see that my desire to rebel will be realized immediately. Can I, a cheap dad like me, be able to bear it?
But there are too many traces, and anyone can hide it, but it is absolutely impossible for Li Shixian to hide it. Li Chengzhi has no good way at the moment, he can only drag it down...
"Huh..." Li Chengzhi took a long breath and waved to Li Rui, "Let's go..."
……
It's not dark yet, but Li's house is already brightly lit.
The inside and outside of the house are pristine, even cleaner than when a bride enters the house.
The door of the mansion has long been opened, and there are people standing outside, just like when Li Chengzhi arrived in Jingyang that day and went to the Hu Mansion for a banquet.
Guo Yuzhi even arranged someone at the street corner to announce loudly as soon as Li Chengzhi showed up...
Seeing Guo Yuzhi's anxious face and pacing back and forth, Li Shixian felt like he was about to faint.
He sighed and advised in a low voice: "I'm afraid you are tired from walking, madam. Why don't you take a rest first?"
"I'm not tired, even if I wait all night, I'm not tired..."
After replying, Guo Yuzhi paused and asked suspiciously: "Husband, are you... tired of waiting..."
"How can there be?" Li Shixian was fiercely alert and denied it.
Madam was very angry at this moment, she was probably even more powerful than a tiger, so how dare he provoke her?
But the more eager Guo Yuzhi was, the more uncomfortable Li Shixian felt: "But such a battle is still a bit over the top..."
Not only that the middle door was wide open, Guo Yuzhi ordered his servants to light candles wherever there were lamps in the mansion. The light was like daylight, for fear that Li Chengzhi would not be able to see clearly.
The courtyard and hall have been cleaned several times. Not to mention stones, branches and leaves, not even a trace of dust can be seen.
Looking at the door again, everyone in the house who was still breathing was brought out by the madam, including him, the head of the family.
This isn’t welcoming a son, it’s more like welcoming an ancestor...
Guo Yuzhi's eyes cooled slightly, and he stared at Li Shixian with an unkind expression: "Don't you know, husband, that Zhang Sima and Cun Xin are also coming to the house as guests? Cun Xin is fine, Zhang Sima only comes once every few years, shouldn't it be such a courtesy?
”
Li Shixian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
How many more years?
He just came with Guo Cunxin on the eve of the winter solstice, okay?
I am confused myself, what can I tell my wife about at this time?
Li Shixian nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes... everything Madam said is right..."
It was hard to tell that Li Shixian was perfunctory, but Guo Yuzhi made a mistake. Just as he was about to argue with him, he suddenly heard an emergency call from the corner: "Here he comes...here he comes..."
"Here we come..." Guo Yuzhi whispered, with a hint of panic in his tone.
She turned around suddenly, held Bu Yao in her bun, and asked urgently: "Husband, look, what's the mess?"
Li Shixian actually has some taste?
When you first met me back then, I didn’t see you so panicked, madam?
Just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words, he heard the clear sound of horse hoofbeats. Li Shixian's heart tightened and he looked around.
At the front were a few white-armored horsemen, followed closely by a young man in golden armor. Looking at the face that was 67% similar to his own, who else could it be if it wasn't Li Chengzhi?
For some reason, Li Shixian suddenly felt his heart feel hot, his tailbone trembled, and his body unexpectedly jumped forward uncontrollably.
After taking two steps, he woke up: I am the biological father, how can I take the initiative to welcome my son?
Although I was thinking this in my heart, my nose couldn't help but feel sour, and even my eyes were red?
Seeing him turn his head away, as if wiping his eyes, all the concubines behind him felt envious.
After being married to the Li family for so many years, when did you ever see Li Shixian showing such a posture?
He is indeed the legitimate son...
……
For some reason, when he saw Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi at the front, even Li Chengzhi couldn't help but panic.
Even he couldn't tell whether it was more the fear of close relatives or the fear of being discovered by Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi.
His mind was in confusion, and his body reacted involuntarily. He was still far away, so Li Chengzhi turned over and dismounted.
But my feet seemed to be stumbling, and I didn't dare to move forward. The shadow of my parents in my previous life appeared in my mind...
I feel like I suddenly no longer panic... Since time traveling, the hesitation, uneasiness, loneliness, loneliness and other emotions in my subconscious have all seemed to be wiped away?
It wasn't until this moment that Li Chengzhi realized: I don't know when, but subtly, he regarded Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi as his last support in the world?
I'm afraid that if everyone in the world betrays me, there won't be these two people in front of me...
With random thoughts floating in his mind, Li Chengzhi suddenly came to his senses when he heard a cry of grief. Guo Yuzhi had actually thrown herself in front of him.
"Son..."
Guo Yuzhi stretched out her hand tremblingly. She originally wanted to hold Li Chengzhi's face and take a good look at it. She also wanted to ask him who inflicted the injury on his face so that my mother could avenge you...
But when she saw the blank look in her son's eyes, she felt as if she had been bitten by a snake, and her whole body trembled.
My son...doesn’t recognize himself?
Like beads with broken strings, large teardrops fell one after another, soaking through the front in just a few breaths. Guo Yuzhi wanted to say something, but found that there seemed to be something stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't even say half a word.
Can't tell...
"Mother... mother?" Even though he was afraid of the difficulty before, at this moment, Li Chengzhi still couldn't help but call out.
Following the sound, he bowed his head deeply, and before he straightened up, another pair of official boots appeared under his mother's feet.
Lee Shi Hyun!
Li Chengzhi raised his head and was shocked again.
The tall man who was nearly seven feet tall had tears in his eyes and his body was trembling.
Look at those trembling hands, as if they want to hold themselves in their arms...
Li Chengzhi's heart was filled with excitement: Poor parents in the world...
How difficult is it to call daddy when the knot in your heart has been opened?
As soon as I called him a name, I bowed my head halfway, and suddenly heard a loud shout, as if thunder exploded in my ears: "Go away..."
Li Shixian staggered when he was hit and almost fell over.
He turned around and saw, who is it not Madam?
At this time, he was hugging Li Chengzhi tightly, with a stern look on his face, like a tigress protecting her cubs...
Li Shixian was so anxious and angry that he almost couldn't help shouting: He is also my son...
Zhang Jingzhi and Guo Cunxin looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces: That's all, we are completely redundant!
However, they all understand the mood of the couple at this time: the son who has been stupid for four years suddenly becomes wise, and it is like a divine gift, and he can be called a dragon or a phoenix among men.
But Dudu has lost his memory, and even his parents can’t recognize him?
If it were them, they would probably be even more excited than Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi...
Li Chengzhi finally woke up, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and reminded softly: "Mother, Sima and uncle are here too..."
Guo Yuzhi was a little better, just wiping away tears and wishing for good luck.
Li Shixian's face turned red: In the excitement, he forgot that there were foreigners here?
