The teacup made of fine porcelain fell down and broke into several pieces.
Li Kuo looked at the flustered Gao Shi, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. In fact, he noticed something strange from the first moment he entered the study. Gao Shi had always sat upright before, but now he was so tired.
Lazy. That's fine. What puzzled Li Kuo the most was Gao Shi's attitude towards himself.
Although he was still very gentle to him on the surface, in fact he was obviously distant. Although Li Kuo didn't know the reason, it must not be simple. Why was he so abnormally excited when he asked about his mother?
.
"Ahem, ahem," Gao Shi waved his hand and said, "Old Madam and the others happened to go out of the city to worship Buddha today. I'm afraid Qi Lang won't be able to meet each other."
"Oh, that's it." Li Kuo's heart sank and he nodded slightly: "That's it, my nephew won't disturb me anymore, and I'll visit you another day."
After saying that, Li Kuo stood up and walked away, waving his sleeves.
Gao Shi looked at Li Kuo who left the table angrily. His throat was trembling slightly and he wanted to say something, but he finally sighed and swallowed all the words in his heart.
After coming out of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Li Kuo went straight to the military camp in the south of the city.
Gao Shi's behavior was too strange for him not to be suspicious. Now the entire Huainan Road is under Gao Shi's rule. If he really has any thoughts, he must have a certain response plan. And the prerequisite for all responses is you
Having a certain level of strength, strength nowadays is the army, swords and guns.
After Li Kuo discussed his thoughts with Li Sheng, Dou Qing and others, the other parties thought that what his general said was reasonable, and they all said that everything would be subject to Li Kuo's arrangements. Li Kuo did not want to think about anything until the matter was clear.
As a result, he only ordered the generals to act with caution and be careful about everything. But Li Kuo himself simply lived in the military camp.
The next day, Li Kuo took a hundred soldiers to "visit" the Jiedushi Mansion again. The old concierge almost fell to the ground in fright when he saw this attitude, and went to report to Gao Shi tremblingly. Gao Shi
Without stopping for a moment, he immediately went out to greet him in person.
Li Kuo exchanged a few words with him and then went straight to the point, asking to take back his relatives.
After some hesitation, Gao Shi gave an answer that made people laugh or cry, saying that because Li Kuo had been childless for a long time, the old lady went to the Guanyin Temple in Nanshan to ask for a child.
First worship Buddha and then worship Guanyin. If you say this, no one will believe it.
Li Kuo thought that Gao Shi's status as an elder was too strong, but he was really not used to Gao Shi's current behavior.
"Uncle Gao, does he know when my mother will be able to return to the city?" Li Kuo raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
When Gao Shi saw Li Kuo's appearance, he probably wouldn't leave until the old lady came back, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Qi Lang, it's inconvenient to talk outside the door, why don't we go in and talk?" Gao Shi looked at Li Kuo hopefully, with a smile on his face.
Li Kuo nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, Dou Qing, Li Sheng, you just wait outside the door of the mansion. No offense. Xiaochun, you bring fifty people with me into the mansion!"
Facing Li Kuo's tough approach, Gao Shi was stunned for a moment. But he obviously couldn't think of any better way, so he had to sigh and follow Li Kuo towards the house.
Gao Shi picked up a cup of freshly brewed green ant wine, raised it high to Li Kuo and said, "Qilang, come and drink this cup!"
Li Kuo, however, did not show much emotion and simply poured the wine from the cup into his stomach.
"Come, come, Qi Lang, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wei Linwei, the Jianghuai interviewer. Mr. Wei is the leader of the younger generation of the Wei family in Jingzhao. He was the governor of Nanyang earlier, and he seems to have something to do with you.
Fanyuanyuan.”
Gao Shi walked up to Li Kuo, pulled his sleeves and introduced him enthusiastically, as if he was afraid that Wei Lin would feel bad about him because of Li Kuo's neglect.
Nanyang has been under the rule of Li Kuo for the past two years, and Wei Lin once served as the governor of Nanyang. If this can be regarded as a connection, then people with connections in the Tang Dynasty are afraid that the entire Zhuque Street will not be able to stand up?
"Nice to meet you!" Li Kuo obviously had no interest in the Jing Zhaowei family. Now he just wanted to take his family back as soon as possible. He couldn't control other things and didn't want to.
Gao Shi smiled brightly and introduced Wei Lin: "Master Wei, this is my nephew, Li Kuo, the training envoy of the Jianghuai regiment!"
"Hmph!" Wei Lin glanced sideways at Li Kuo and snorted disdainfully.
"You!" Wang Xiaochun, who was beside Li Kuo, saw that this guy was so rude and wanted to step forward and teach him a lesson.
"Xiaochun!" Li Kuo glared at Wang Xiaochun and stopped him.
"I wonder why Uncle Gao brought me here? Master Wei and I have already met each other. If there is nothing else to do," Li Kuo raised his hand to Gao Shi and was about to speak directly, but was interrupted by Wei Lin's cold words.
"General Li is in such a hurry to come to Yangzhou this time? Now that he's here, let's stay a few more days, lest someone gossip behind our backs and say we don't treat our guests well."
Wei Lin's voice was cold, with a clear hint of disdain.
Zhou Wuxin, Wang Xiaochun and others were not willing to suffer losses. After hearing what Wei Lin said, they all walked forward and surrounded Wei Lin.
"Hey, what does General Li mean? Could it be that he wants to rebel? When Wei was in the capital, he often heard people say that General Li supports his own troops. Could it be that those rumors are true? General Li really wants to make peace.
Lushan second?"
Wei Lin was not afraid at all, raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"You fart!" Wang Xiaochun couldn't bear it anymore when he saw that Wei Lin was openly falsely accusing his general. He pulled out his sword with a bang and put it on Wei Lin's neck: "Are you blind? My family
The general dedicated himself to serving the Tang Dynasty through life and death, and he has added many scars to his body. But here you are chewing the root of your tongue. If he really wants to rebel, do you think your head can still be on your neck? "
Wei Lin sneered: "Why can't you stop even after Wei Mou mentioned the painful point? If you don't have this intention, why should you care about what others say? Wei Mou obeyed the emperor's order and served as the interviewer of Jianghuai Road, so he is naturally responsible.
Supervise the words and deeds of all officials. General Li has a heavy army and has resisted imperial edicts. Shouldn't Mr. Wei be suspicious?"
Wei Lin also refused to give in at all. Seeing that the two sides were already at odds, he simply shook off all the words.
Isn't he just a mere trainer of Jianghuai regiment? If he wants to kill him, it is as easy as squeezing an ant to death!
