That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 476

The old site of the official Xingyuan, which was in charge of the central Shaanxi camp in those days, is now under the control of the Northwest Army.

Xingyuan, which is extremely deserted on weekdays, was finally lively today. After Li Yanliang arrived here, he found that many colleagues had arrived ahead of schedule, all of whom were third- and fourth-rank military officers who were the mainstay in the Northwest Army.

Li Yanliang is a young and promising talent with a promising future. As soon as he entered the hall, many people gathered around to greet him. Li Yanliang also had a smile on his face, and he kept clasping his fists together with his colleagues. Greetings.

While he was talking, a young lieutenant who was also dressed in armor came out from the back hall. After looking around for a week, his eyes fell on Li Yanliang, and he said loudly, "Is Commander Li here? Your Excellency is here to invite you."

Li Yanliang was stunned, and bowed his hands to everyone around him, "Li will excuse me first."

A tall general laughed and said, "Since the Lord Du Tong wants to see Brother Li, Brother Li should go."

Li Yanliang followed the young lieutenant into the secluded harem, where Lan Yu, Min Hang, and Xiao Jin were successively the three commanders of the Central Shaanxi Army, and they commanded the army here. Now that Min Hang has passed away, Lan Yu and Xiao Jin are the heads of the dynasty Auxiliary, one is the king of Wei.

Arriving at the door of a temporary study room, Li Yanliang opened the door and entered after the captain informed him.

There was only one gray-haired veteran in the room, who was sitting behind the desk and recuperating behind closed doors.

Without squinting, Li Yanliang saluted respectfully: "The last general, Li Yanliang, has met Lord Zuo Dutong."

The veteran opened his eyes and said casually: "Hua Fang doesn't need to be formal, just sit down."

Li Yanliang, whose name is Yan Liang, whose name is Huafang, really didn't have too much courtesy, he sat down on the guest seat beside him, and asked softly: "Shi Bo Chuan's nephew is here, but do you have something to say?"

Wen Ci pinched the bridge of his nose, and said slowly: "I mentioned in the secret letter to you earlier that a big man is coming to the Northwest. In fact, it is not difficult to guess the identity of that person. It is Mr. Xu from Jiangdu who has recently become famous. , this person first lured and killed Zhang Zhaonu in Kunshan, then expelled Jiangnan Taoism, occupied the Taoist workshop of Du's family, and made friends with Yu Kuang, the left governor of Huzhou's rear army. So, in Jiangdu, it doesn't matter whether we cover the sky with one hand or turn the clouds and rain, it has nothing to do with us. After all, this is Zhongdu, not Jiangdu, but you should also know that the one standing behind Mr. Xu is the real big shot .”

Li Yanliang said softly: "Mr. Han Ge, this is the court boss who was able to break the wrist with Lan Xiangye 20 years ago. Chen Qiong resigned from office, and now Prime Minister Lan is retreating again and again, I heard that there are already rumors of 'falling Lan'."

Wen Ci straightened up, and said softly: "I might as well tell you the truth, Mr. Han Ge has already asked His Majesty to marry him for his adopted son."

"Proposal?" Li Yanliang was startled for a moment, and then said in shock: "It's Your Highness the Princess!?"

Wen Ci nodded and said: "Some time ago, we all felt that the candidate for the emperor's son-in-law would almost fall on the son of the Duanmu family, but who would have thought that a young master Xu would be killed halfway? Judging from the current situation, the Duanmu family The loss of the holy family has already begun to show signs, but Mr. Han Ge is in full swing. At least before the downfall of Prime Minister Lan, His Majesty will continue to rely on Mr. Han Ge. Since Mr. Han Ge personally begged, His Majesty will never let go Han Ge's old face, so this matter should almost be settled, if there is no accident, this Mr. Xu will become our Daqi's third son-in-law in a few days."

Li Yanliang smiled wryly and said: "At the beginning, Mr. Duanmu accompanied the princess on a trip to the northwest, and I was also specially accompanied by the elders at home under the instruction of the elders in the family. It is impossible to imagine that all the plans have come to nothing in an instant."

Wen Ci lowered his voice slightly, and said: "Hua Fang, don't get involved in the muddy waters of the Duanmu family anymore. The Duanmu family has lived in the imperial capital for a long time and held the power of the Dark Guard Mansion. They have fallen too deep, just like the Xu family in Xihe The reason why the Xu family was able to escape the catastrophe at the beginning was because there was a queen empress, but since Duanmuyu can't become the emperor's son-in-law, one can imagine the fate of the Duanmu family."

Li Yanliang's face suddenly became serious, "Please teach me, Master Shi."

The old man said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Li Shibo that the Li family will gradually distance themselves from the Duanmu family, and don't show any traces, especially at this juncture, don't have the idea of ​​gambling your life and wealth for wealth and wealth, as long as you stay safe and secure. If we leave the land in the northwest, no matter how the imperial capital changes, it won’t be able to catch us.”

Li Yanliang lowered his head and responded: "My nephew has made a note, and I will definitely tell grandpa when I get back."

He is the grandson of the Li family, a general from Xiliang. His grandfather, Li Jinge, was in between the two behemoths of the Northwest Dark Guard Mansion and the Northwest Army in his early years. Then the Li family had to make preparations earlier.

Wen Ci nodded, and then said: "Mr. Xu had already known Lord Dudu before he made his fortune. At that time, Lord Dudu also hadn't gotten back together. The two of them had a certain friendship. This time, Mr. Xu went to the capital of God and unexpectedly did not go to Dongjiang. Instead, the Grand Canal bypasses Shanzhou, nominally to reminisce with the visiting governor, but in fact it is ordered from behind the back of Mr. Han Ge."

In the Northwest Army, as long as the word Dudu is mentioned, there is only one person, and it must be the Left Dudu of the Left Army. If there are several Right Dudus, they will be called the Right Dudu.Similarly, when mentioning the word "dudu" in the Jiangnan army, it can only refer to the left governor of the former army. This is almost an unwritten rule among the five imperial guards.

Li Yanliang lived in the Northwest Army for a long time, so he didn't bother to ask which governor it was, and asked tentatively: "The governor doesn't want to see this Mr. Xu?"

Wen Ci said flatly: "Although the governor is old with Han Ge, he doesn't want to get involved in the Blue-Han faction rashly at this time, but whether it is Mr. Xu or the old Han Ge, the governor can't brush off their faces. So I have to see, I came to Shanzhong this time, apparently to summon the generals to inspect military affairs, but in fact, I just rushed to meet that Young Master Xu before the governor."

Li Yanliang asked: "What if Mr. Xu goes directly to Zhongdu?"

Wen Ci shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu's visit this time did not hide it from others. He made it clear that he wanted to put this matter on the table. He wanted others to know that the governor is still a member of the Korean Party, so there is no reason to be sneaky. Shanzhong It is the only way to go to Zhongdu, as long as we wait here, we can always wait for that Mr. Xu."

Li Yanliang nodded with a thoughtful look on his face.

Wen Ci showed a bit of love on his face, and said: "The reason why I told you this this time is because of the relationship between the Wen and Li families, and because I have no children under my knees, and I always treat you as half a child." Look at it, son, this time Mr. Xu came to Shanzhong, you also follow me to see him, it’s not counted as a bet, it’s just a good relationship, if Mr. Han Ge can really bring down the towering tree Lan Xiang in the future , then today’s good fortune is extraordinary.”

Li Yanliang saluted solemnly, bowed to the ground, and said gratefully: "My nephew thanked Shi Bo."

Wen Ci smiled, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you go first."

Li Yanliang retreated slowly.

Wen Ci leaned back on the chair back and began to close her eyes and concentrate.

The Li family can watch from the sidelines, but it is impossible for him and his benefactor to be healthy. This visit by Xu Beiyou is destined to cause another storm in the court.
