Here's today's update, and at the same time, I'm pulling votes for the Qidian 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and the votes will also be given some coins.
After nightfall, the entire Tong Pass was quiet. In the backyard of the guest house where Liu Luogu was staying, three men in black silently sneaked in. 8
.
Li Feishou Yu squatted behind the bushes, looked at Kun Xiong and Fei Yu beside him, and made a gesture.
Kun Xiong and Fei Yu understood and quietly sneaked behind the two guards. Li Feishou Yu held a crossbow and aimed at the throat of the feathered beast.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
While the two guards were knocked unconscious by Kun Xiong and Fei Yu, Li Feishou Yu also shot an arrow at the feathered beast's throat.
After cutting open the cage with a dagger, Li Feiyu grabbed the feathered beast and left. Li Kunxiong took a bag of items from a truck. Li Feishou Yu looked around vigilantly and was responsible for covering their backs.
It was not until the three of them left the guest house that Liu Luogu's subordinates were surprised to find that the divine bird they were going to offer to the Emperor had disappeared.
"The divine bird is gone, the divine bird is gone."
Following the shouts of his subordinates, Liu Luogu ran to the backyard in a panic and lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.
An Lushan asked him to offer the feathered beast in the cage to the current Emperor, but he did not do a good job. This made him a little at a loss.
"Mr. Liu, this must be the doing of the people at the relay station."
Liu Luogu's face was pale, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He looked like he had lost his soul. After a long time, he slammed his hands on the ground and roared in exasperation, "What do they want? What do they want? This is a tribute to His Majesty."
At this moment, he wanted to immediately lead his men to the relay station to take back the divine bird. However, when he thought of Ang Lee's fierce appearance, he immediately softened.
He knew that it would be useless even if he went. Since Ang Lee dared to steal, he would definitely not admit to it. Moreover, the people under his command were simply no match for him.
After calming down, Liu Luogu led ten soldiers of the Pinglu Army and braved the night to request an audience with the general guarding Tong Pass. He pointed out that Ang Lee and the others had stolen the divine bird that was to be presented to the Emperor and asked them to send troops to surround the relay station and take back the divine bird. The general guarding Tong Pass had already learned from his deputy general that the person living in the relay station was not an ordinary person. Therefore, he did not dare to go and disturb him. Moreover, he had to have evidence. How could he send troops without evidence? If he sent troops to surround the relay station and found nothing, he would not be able to explain himself.
Playing it safe was the norm in the officialdom. No one would find trouble for themselves for no reason, especially big trouble that they did not dare to provoke.
Liu Luogu was rebuffed and could only return to the guest house dejectedly. However, after such a big incident, he was not sleepy at all.
Liu Luogu, who was pacing in the room, suddenly slapped himself hard a few times. He really regretted provoking Ang Lee, the living King of Hell.
If he had listened to the leader of the relay station and found a guest house to stay, nothing would have happened. At most, he would have just lost a few strings of money. However, now he had provoked Ang Lee. Not only were more than a dozen of his men injured, but he also had to pay Ang Lee a huge sum of 100 gold ingots. The worst thing was that Ang Lee had stolen the divine bird that they were going to present to the Emperor. He did not know how to explain it to An Lushan.
For a moment of anger, he had suffered a huge loss. Liu Luogu had paid a huge price for his reckless behavior. However, at this moment, it was useless to regret. Ang Lee would not return the so-called divine bird to them just because he regretted it.
In the guest house, Liu Luogu was so worried that he could not sleep. In the direction of the relay station, Ang Lee was happily sitting next to the bonfire in the backyard, listening to Li Kunxiong's exaggerated explanation. From time to time, he would reach out and flip the barbecued meat on the rack.
This barbecued meat was naturally the feathered beast that Li Feiyu had brought back. After the fur and innards were processed, it was placed on the bonfire.
Ang Lee knew that this huge feathered beast was the famous gyrfalcon in the future. It was a very rare and precious bird of prey. If it was not An Lushan's tribute, Ang Lee would not be willing to roast it and eat it no matter what.
"Big Brother, when I left, I took something from it. I don't know what was inside."
As Li Kunxiong said this, he quietly took out the hidden package.
"Deer antler, ginseng, ganoderma. These are all precious medicinal materials. Kunxiong, you did well. Give these to Wang Bing. These days, in order to treat the injuries of his brothers, he used up a lot of precious medicinal materials. Okay.
.”
"Yes, Big Brother. I'll go now."
Although these medicinal materials were stolen, they were An Lushan's tribute. Therefore, even if he stole more, Ang Lee would feel at ease and would not feel the slightest bit guilty. And these things were not of much use in Ang Lee's hands. Giving them to Wang Bing would be a convenient favor.
In the unexpected confrontation with Liu Luogu, Ang Lee relied on his own methods and strength to achieve a complete victory. In the case of his own losses, he forced Liu Luogu into a situation where he could not sit still.
Hey, Liu Luogu, isn't he the liaison officer that An Lushan placed in Beijing?
Ang Lee suddenly remembered that in historical records, An Lushan's spy in Beijing seemed to be called Liu Luogu.
When he thought of such an important person being ruthlessly taught a lesson by him, Ang Lee could not help but feel very satisfied. He pulled out a dagger and cut off a large piece of the fragrant gyrfalcon meat, tasting it carefully.
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Ang Lee's team was ready to go. Everyone was waiting for Ang Lee's order.
Li An stretched lazily and stuffed the leftover gyrfalcon meat into his mouth. He casually chewed a few mouthfuls and saw Yue'er sneaking glances at him from the corner of his eye. He was overjoyed and waved his hand at Yue'er. Yue'er was so embarrassed that she quickly hid behind a pillar.
This little girl, she actually peeked at me. I saw through her thoughts, so she hid with a guilty conscience.
Ang Lee smiled indifferently. He suddenly felt that being too handsome was sometimes quite troublesome. From time to time, there would always be a handsome girl who had ideas about him. If she wanted to marry him, wouldn't it be terrible?
"Li Shaolang, Liu Luogu came yesterday. He has been waiting outside the relay station for two hours."
When Li Kunxiong heard this, he smiled and said: "Big Brother, Liu Luogu has been waiting for two hours. Doesn't that mean he came before dawn?"
Ang Lee shook the roasted meat in his hand and smiled: "Liu Luogu came looking for this."
When Li Feishou Yu, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu saw this, they could not help but laugh. This Liu Luogu was not stupid at all. He immediately thought that they had snatched the feathered beast. However, Liu Luogu definitely did not think that the feathered beast was already in their stomach.
"Guangcheng, let everyone prepare to go."
After Ang Lee gave the order, he led Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, and the others out of the gate.
Outside the relay station, a carriage was parked not far away. The coachman and two Pinglu soldiers were standing next to the carriage. Liu Luogu was leaning against the gate of the relay station. He lowered his head and paced back and forth. From time to time, he would talk to himself. He seemed to be restless.
When Ang Lee and the others arrived at the gate of the relay station, they saw the carriage not far away. They thought that Liu Luogu was sitting in the carriage. Only when they walked out of the gate did they realize that Liu Luogu was beside them.
"Li Shaolang, last night's matter was my fault. Today, I specially came to apologize. I hope Young Master will not be angry."
Seeing that Ang Lee had finally come out, Liu Luogu's eyes lit up. He quickly bowed to Ang Lee.
Ang Lee nodded and patted Liu Luogu's shoulder. "It's good that you know you're wrong. Since this matter is already in the past, then let's forget about it. I won't take it to heart."
Liu Luogu was overjoyed. He smiled, "Li Shaolang really is broad-minded. Your bearing is comparable to the prime minister. This one is far from being as magnanimous as you."
Hearing Liu Luogu's flattery, Ang Lee smiled indifferently. "Mister Liu, there's no need to flatter me. The sky is already bright, and I still have to hurry. If fate wills it, we'll meet again. Let's go back."
Liu Luogu was startled. "Li Shaolang, what about that divine bird?"
"What divine bird?"
"It's the feathered beast in the cage."
Ang Lee pretended to be puzzled. He looked at Liu Luogu. "Mister Liu, you came here early in the morning. You haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?"
"Yes, I didn't have time to worry about that."
Ang Lee smiled and handed the barbecued meat to Liu Luogu. "I knew you hadn't eaten breakfast. Come, eat some barbecued meat."
"Many thanks, Li Shaolang. This one will respectfully accept."
Liu Luogu was really hungry. He hadn't eaten well last night. This morning, he had rushed over in a hurry and hadn't had time to eat. Moreover, Ang Lee's face was sincere, so he naturally couldn't refuse.
"Mister Liu, how is the taste?"
"The meat is overflowing with fragrance. It's fat but not greasy, thin but not dry. Good cooking, good meat."
Liu Luogu was full of praise. When a person was hungry, anything they ate tasted good. However, if he knew that the barbecued meat in his mouth was that feathered beast, he probably wouldn't have such a feeling.
Ang Lee saw that Liu Luogu was eating with relish, and his mouth was overflowing with a different kind of smile. Behind him, Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, and the others were all secretly delighted.
At this time, Zhang Guangcheng was leading a group of people out of the relay station. They were preparing to leave Tong Pass for the capital.
"Mister Liu, take your time to eat. This one will take his leave first."
Li An signaled Kun Xiong and Fei Yu with his eyes before he walked out in large strides.
Liu Luogu was stunned. He hurriedly stopped Ang Lee and begged, "Li Shaolang, where's my feathered beast? Please don't hold it against me."
Ang Lee frowned and said angrily, "Mister Liu, you're already full. Why are you still talking nonsense? Your feathered beast is missing. What does it have to do with me?"
"Li Shaolang, please do me a favor and forgive me this time."
Liu Luogu's face was full of bitterness as he sincerely apologized to Ang Lee.
Ang Lee pretended to be innocent and said softly, "Mister Liu, this one really hasn't seen any feathered beast. However, your feathered beast was locked in a cage, and there were subordinates specially looking after it. How could it be lost? There must be a thief. Maybe your subordinate was greedy and ate it secretly. Go back and investigate."
After saying that, he gave Zhang Guangcheng a look and had the group immediately leave.
