Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 121 People who like to sell favors also pay more attention to favors
"Hmm." Li Si withdrew his hand that was slapped away in dissatisfaction, and shifted his gaze back to Yan Tingzhi, waiting for him to continue.
Yan Tingzhi paused for a moment before continuing.
"Do you know about the recent war at the border?"
Thinking of the war at the border, Li Si raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I have heard some things, but you know, I usually don't ask about things unless someone comes to me."
If you were to ask who in the underworld is the least informed, the answer would undoubtedly be Li Si. Don't ask why, the reason is that even the news cannot keep up with him.
Sure enough, Yan Tingzhi rubbed his forehead slowly. Sometimes he really admired Li Si. Such a big thing had not even been heard of at all.
Did he plug his ears, or did he bypass all the warning points in Fengyu Tower?
In fact, this is bullshit. Li Si is hiding from Li Shizong now, so he dares not walk on the road openly. As for the display point of Fengyu Tower, he knows the dealings between Fengyu Tower and the court. There is no difference between being discovered by Fengyu Tower and being discovered by the court.
When Yan Tingzhi found him, he didn't turn around and run away, which was already a courtesy to Yan Tingzhi..
"At the beginning of this year, the Jin Kingdom raised an army of 300,000 and marched straight to Huaiyang Pass."
In order to prevent Li Si from knowing nothing about this, Yan Tingzhi sighed and started from the beginning.
"But they seemed to know all the deployments of the Tian Ce Mansion at the border. They divided their troops and launched surprise attacks, causing several of the Tian Ce Army's outposts to be broken one after another. Then they reorganized their forces and besieged the remaining Tian Ce Army in Huaiyang Pass, almost cutting off all of the Tian Ce Army's food supply, leaving the Tian Ce Army isolated and helpless."
Although Yan Tingzhi's words were brief and plain, anyone could hear the urgency of the situation.
Even Li Si stopped acting so nonchalantly and frowned slowly.
"Someone leaked the news?"
Given the situation, there is probably only one explanation.
"It can't be someone from the court." Yan Tingzhi nodded, but directly denied the possibility of the court.
"The only person who knows about the Tiance Mansion's deployment of troops is the Emperor."
After all, it couldn't be that Li Shizong himself leaked the news.
"From the Jianghu, Changle Sect?" Placing his hand lightly on the table, Li Si made a guess.
"It's possible. We are still investigating." Yan Tingzhi said solemnly.
"But I came to you today not only to talk about this."
After saying that, he took out a handwritten letter from his arms and placed it in front of Li Si.
"The Huaiyang Pass is in danger now. It will take some time for the court to mobilize troops to provide assistance. Therefore, a month ago, the Tiance Mansion issued a call for help from all over the country, hoping to gather people from the martial arts world to help. The emperor hopes that you can help."
Li Si looked at the letter that Yan Tingzhi handed to him with a subtle expression, and after a while, he asked.
"What kind of help? Help in the battle or help in gathering people?"
"I want both." Yan Tingzhi looked at him and said directly without any reservation.
Well, you’re welcome.
Li Si picked up the letter on the table with a wry smile, played with it in his hand for a while, thought for a moment, let out a sigh of helplessness and said.
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that I can help. I'll just do my best."
"Your words are enough." Yan Tingzhi seemed to be relieved, and a smile appeared on his tense face. He pushed the wine jar on the table and said.
"drink wine."
Li Si looked at him and said teasingly, "I rarely see you smile."
"Really? That's just not necessary."
Yan Tingzhi touched his nose and his face darkened again. He was still as old-fashioned as ever.
…
As for what exactly was in the letter that Li Shizong wrote to Li Si, since it is really not very informative, I will not explain it in detail here.
Most of the contents of the letter were emotional cards that had been played out, which made Li Si feel uncomfortable. He even described the questions in the Imperial Garden that day as a tour in the garden. He couldn't remember when his relationship with Li Shizong had been so good.
But since he has agreed to do this, he will naturally do it.
As for how to do it, of course, we have to start by cheating those few acquaintances.
At the end of the month, Li Si brought Shu Hu Nu to Yunshan.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
Along the mountain path, a little girl ran hurriedly along the path, ran to a wooden house, knocked on the door with a happy face and said.
"Brother Si'er is here. He said he wants to see you."
In the wooden house, Jiang Lian'er was drawing. She heard an hurried knock on the door. She sighed lightly, picked up the pen in her hand slowly, and continued to draw a flying goose.
"Yun'er, I teach you painting so that you can cultivate your character. When will you be able to learn to be more steady?"
The little girl outside the door blushed.
At this time, a figure came up from behind her, put a hand on her head, pushed open the door and said.
"As a little girl, being lively is always more likable. You are too harsh, Lian'er."
Hearing this familiar name, Jiang Lian'er paused with the pen in her hand, her face darkened, and she stood up from the table and spoke.
"How many times have I told you..."
" Don't call you Lian'er, I'll remember that."
The person who walked in from the door waved his hand, interrupted him with a smile, and then spoke to the little girl behind him.
"Yun'er, take my cousin out to play for a while. I have something to say to your master."
"Yeah." The little girl named Yun'er blushed and then walked out, leaving only two people standing in the room.
The person who walked in from outside was naturally Li Si. Jiang Lian'er was indeed helpless towards him.
If anyone else dared to call him "Lian'er", he would have thrown them out long ago, but Li Si couldn't catch them.
Turning her attention back to her own painting, Jiang Lian'er asked in a helpless and gentle voice while moistening her brush in the inkstone.
"So, what did you come to see me for?"
"Hehe." Li Si leaned against the table, folded his hands and smiled, but he was not in a hurry to keep it a secret and said, "Guess."
In response to his eccentric personality, Jiang Lian'er could only shake her head and continue painting. After a while, she spoke.
"Is it because of the incident at the northern border?"
"It's Lian'er indeed. The more books she read, the smarter she is. If it was Dugu Zongzi, he would definitely not be able to guess it."
Li Si nodded to confirm his words, and at the same time denied Dugu Bufu's intelligence.
"Oh, if he knew you called him that, he would definitely draw his sword and kill you."
Jiang Lian'er was also amused and laughed. She slowly put down her pen, straightened the table and said.
"You don't have to come to me, I will go there naturally after I finish this painting. The people of Jianghu owed the court a favor, and now it's time to repay some of it."
