Chapter 465 Chasing Longao under the Moon (Part 2)
Long Ao left the banquet hall and the banquet continued.
However, the atmosphere of the banquet also began to change. It lost the previous harmony and excitement. Even though Kotou Military Advisor, Yang Banhou and others tried their best to liven up the atmosphere, they could not restore the original liveliness. In less than five minutes, the banquet dispersed, and Kotou The military advisor left with a few bandits, and Yang Banhou, Yang Luchan and others also left.
Li Zhen left the backyard and headed towards Wang Shou's study.
The remaining problems in Moyunling have been resolved, and the matter in Renhua County has come to an end. But before leaving, Li Zhen had to think about what he had missed to avoid any mistakes. He walked into Wang Shou's study and pushed the door open. , what came into view was the antique study room, the exquisite screen, the luxurious decoration, the first-class chairs, the desk and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which made Li Zhen shake his head repeatedly.
It is impossible for a county magistrate to afford such a salary.
After Li Zhen sat down, he took out the account books and other things from the drawer of Wang Shou's desk, and carefully looked through Wang Shou's previous records to see if there was anything he had missed.
…
In the backyard of the county house, in a separate courtyard.
This courtyard is where Long Yao and all his brothers live.
At this time, Long Ao and his twelve brothers all gathered together.
Long Er looked puzzled and asked: "Brother, haven't you always praised Admiral Li before? Now Admiral Li plans to recruit you as an official, why do you refuse? Besides, we are attacking Moyun with Admiral Li." Ling, you have clearly seen Admiral Li's character and conduct, so why should you hesitate?"
Long Er is a twenty-year-old young man, strong and brave.
He has thin cheeks, piercing eyes, and long and powerful arms, giving people an extremely powerful feeling. His name is Long Er because he is the second oldest. Long Ao and the twelve brothers under his command are all represented by numbers. In the ranking, Long Ao ranked first. He originally called Long Ao one, but the other twelve people liked to call Long Ao their eldest brother to show their respect for Long Ao. The remaining twelve people called Long Ao their elder brother. At the beginning, followed by Dragon Three, Dragon Four,..., and finally Dragon Thirteen.
After hearing Long Er's words, Long Ao smiled slightly but said nothing.
Long Ao didn't say anything, but Long Wu was anxious. He interrupted and said: "Brother, I think Admiral Li is a very good person and a very good official. You accidentally injured Admiral Li's left arm with a crossbow arrow. I frowned. I didn’t even frown or take this matter to heart. Think about it, can there be such a person among today’s officials?”
Compared with Long Er, Long Wu is taller and bigger, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a rugged face. He is a typical northern man. Only a trace of childishness on his face shows that Long Wu is still very young, a 19-year-old youth. .
After hearing this, Long Ao smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
Long Shisan, who was at the bottom of the queue, rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "We follow the eldest brother. Naturally, we hope that he will get better and better. When he becomes a high official in the future, we can also follow him to enjoy the blessings." Long Shisan has a handsome appearance. He has a fair complexion, clear eyes, slender fingers on both hands, and a slim figure. He is the thinnest and youngest of all, only eighteen years old.
"You guys, it's really..."
Long Ao smiled, with a kind look in his eyes.
Long Er to Long Shisan were all young people in their twenties, but Long Ao was already in his early thirties. In the past, Long Ao was just a person, and he took them in one by one. At that time, everyone was young and quite young. So Long Ao raised these half-grown children as brothers and fathers, and their relationship was naturally extraordinary.
Long Shisan sat close to Long Ao and said with a smile: "Brother, why don't I go see Li Zhen now and tell him that you are willing to stay, and then we will go to Guangzhou with Li Zhen."
Long Ao pointed at Long Shisan, stretched out his hand and patted Long Shisan's head gently, and scolded with a smile: "Don't mess around, your elder brother has his own plans in mind, don't mess up his plan."
Long Shisan muttered, with a look of disbelief.
The rest of the people were like this and didn't believe it.
Seeing this, Long Ao shrugged with a helpless expression, and could only explain: "You guys, okay, big brother will tell you the truth. Even though Li Zhen is a good person, he is not suitable now, so I still want to Let’s test Li Zhen and wait until the next time we meet. If Li Zhen can still treat him politely and intends to recruit, it won’t be too late to surrender.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Long Shisan, the weird elf, was the first to agree, and said with a smile: "I agree with eldest brother. Our eldest brother is good at martial arts, smart, and so handsome. Everyone gives thumbs up and praises him wherever he goes. Then Li Zhen got help from his elder brother, and it must be like a divine help, we cannot let Li Zhen succeed easily."
Long Wu interrupted and said: "I agree with brother's opinion, let's take it slow."
Long Er said: "Brother, we will leave early tomorrow morning. By then, Li Zhen will definitely be full of reluctance. When eldest brother and Li Zhen meet again in the future, eldest brother will definitely gain Li Zhen's respect and it will not be too late to surrender to Li Zhen."
Long Ao waved his hand and said: "We don't have to leave tomorrow morning. If we delay it until tomorrow morning, Li Zhen will definitely see us off in person. If Li Zhen keeps seeing us off, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable? I'll directly Leave a letter to Li Zhen and tell him to leave, and there is nothing else to do."
Long Jiu said: "I will prepare pen and ink for my eldest brother."
After finishing speaking, Long Jiu ran to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After hearing this, Long Er frowned and said, "Brother, it's already late at night and the city gate has been closed. Even if we can leave the county government office at night, can we leave the county seat?"
Long Jiu put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Long Yao and said with a smile: "Second brother, are you stupid? The eldest brother returned to the city with Admiral Li during the day. The soldiers at the gate of the city all know each other. We asked them to open the door. Do you dare not open the door? What?"
Long Er nodded and stopped talking.
Long Ao picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a letter.
After writing, Long Jiu took the written letter and put it on the table, holding it with a tea cup. He stood in the crowd, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "The matter has been done, let's go."
Long Ao waved his hand and said: "Pack your things and quietly climb over the wall and leave."
When everyone heard this, they were speechless again.
But they thought that Long Ao was not going to tell Li Zhen, so they had no choice but to nod in agreement with Long Ao's suggestion. The group packed their bags, took their weapons, opened the room and left quietly, disappearing into the night. Long Ao and the other twelve people left for half a mile. An hour later, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.
"Bang, bang,."
There were knocks on the door one after another, and soon the attendant's voice came out: "Is Mr. Long here? I'm here to deliver fruit. This is your personal order."
The attendant knocked on the door for a long time, but there was still no sound in the room. In desperation, the attendant reached out and pushed it, and the door opened. The attendant walked in, looked at the oil lamp that was still swaying slightly, and glanced inside the room, not seeing a single person. , However, when the attendant saw the white paper on the table, he immediately walked over.
When he picked it up and looked at it, the attendant shivered with fright, turned around and ran towards Li Zhen's study.
