Zhurou

Chapter 99 rest assured
Zhao Mingzhi had vaguely noticed it long ago, but the truth was always difficult to see clearly as if separated by a layer of tulle.

She stood outside the door, her palms were slightly sweaty, she went straight in without asking questions, let alone saying anything else.

This wing room has the same layout as the one just now, but it is more than double the size. As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted with a strong smell of alcohol. There is also a big table in the middle, which is full of dishes, cups and plates are messy, and several large jars are opened Mud-covered wine sits on a small table nearby.

There were a few waiters standing in the room, and they were quickly clearing up the leftovers on the table. Another person was sitting on a chair in the corner, and Ben was resting with his eyes closed.

He was dressed in a green cloth shirt, dressed like a scholar, with a calm demeanor, but once he raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and his whole body was full of sternness, which made people feel extremely dangerous and dared not approach him.

The man was sitting sideways, with his face half sideways, showing a more defined jawline, a straight nose bridge, browbones and extremely dark eyebrows, if one could ignore the blade-like eyes and just look at his appearance, he would be extremely handsome.

Seeing the man's face, Zhao Mingzhi was stunned. He didn't move forward, but he didn't retreat either. He just stood there and looked at him. After a while, he called out in a low voice, "Second Brother Li."

This person is Li Xun.

When Li Xun saw her enter the door, he got up immediately, but looked at the door, and said to Liao Mian: "I have to work hard for you to send Xiangzi and Kangchong people."

At this moment, those little waiters had already tidied up the table and came out in a single file.

When Liao Mian heard this, he did not hesitate, and responded first, and when all the people had left, he bowed halfway to Zhao Mingzhi, then said nothing, and gently closed the door from the outside.

Suddenly only Zhao and Li were left in the room.

Li Xun took a few steps forward and did not go to sit at the big table. He was still seven or eight steps away from Zhao Mingzhi, and finally stood still. Aren't you tired? Sit down and wait for me."

Zhao Mingzhi walked over as promised, but only sat on the front half of the seat, with his hands folded on his lap.

She seemed to have a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she seemed to be at a loss, although she was a little surprised, but that surprise was also contained in the horoscope of "so it is, so it is", but what kind of "so" is that "so", think carefully, Still hard to tell.

Li Xun didn't sit down, but turned around and walked aside, stretching out his hand to push open the two nearby wooden windows.

The box here is facing the backyard of the restaurant. After the windows are wide open, you can't see the scenery outside clearly, only a dark hole and sporadic lights.

The north wind poured in, and quickly blew away the smell of wine and vegetables in the house.

He waited for a few breaths before closing the window halfway, leaving a gap half the size of his arm to ventilate, went to the copper basin in the corner, washed his hands and face with clean water, and rinsed his mouth with strong tea before returning to his seat, and Zhao Mingzhi sat next to each other across the small tea table in the middle.

After the two sat down, Li Xun took a clean teacup and poured hot tea.

He brought one of them to Zhao Mingzhi, and asked softly: "I heard Liao Du point out that your family has winter clothes, medicinal materials, and copper and iron ore in Xuzhou. Neither?"

After a while, Zhao Mingzhi just nodded and said in a low voice: "Although it is, it is really difficult to get it back given the current situation."

Li Xun stared at her for a long time, and asked, "Now that I've seen Liao Mian, is there still a lot you can't say to me?"

Zhao Mingzhi hesitated in his heart, he felt that he was full of thoughts and doubts, but he couldn't speak, as if once he said it, he would break this rare friendship.

She hadn't been in trouble for too long, but Li Xun suddenly said, "You can't say, so let me guess."

He leaned slightly to bring the distance between the two closer, but said: "Your surname is Zhao, and this time you are traveling north alone. You want to live in peace and buy property, and you also want to urgently call Jingzhao Mansion to send troops to Xuzhou to save that city." , apart from pitying the lives of all the people in the city, he said that he also wanted to save his family..."

He paused, and then said: "Is that your family, Princess Sixiu?"

Zhao Mingzhi looked up in astonishment.

Li Xun said: "I discussed with you earlier, do you remember? Because I am afraid that you will be in a panic and have no choice but to be deceived by others, I propose to visit the Liao Master of Gaoling County first."

"The person who came yesterday has reported that his wife's maiden name is Liu, not Zhao. She has only one younger brother. His younger brother is only ten years old and has not yet married. Naturally, he has no heirs, let alone a niece named Zhao..."

"Uncle is just a fabrication, the surname is always true, right?"

Zhao Mingzhi nodded reluctantly.

Li Xun got her affirmation, and continued: "I have searched for people in the past two days to inquire. The two successor kings in the court, King Sikang and Princess Sikang died early, and their children are all uncles, that is, Zhao Bojiong, the king of Sixiu, was raised by his family since childhood. , King Sixiu lived in the capital for a long time, but the concubine came from Xuzhou, and her natal family came to do business. It is said that she is extremely wealthy, and her business spreads all over the capital, involving all walks of life."

"Because the Di people went south, King Sixiu was taken captive to Xiazhou together, but the princess was able to escape because she took the younger generation out to escape the summer heat. This time, she was going back to her natal family to raise money and tried to redeem her husband. Besieged, she had no choice but to be trapped in the city."

"Your Ziyun's parents are both dead. Presumably you are not the heir of Prince Sixiu, but the lineage of King Sikang?"

"Because you are devoted to repaying your kindness and saving people, you are in a hurry to go to the doctor, so you even want to use your marriage as a hostage. Although King Sikang's lineage has no title, they are still royal relatives. Marriage matters can also have some weight, right? ?”

From the beginning to the end, Li Xun's tone was extremely light, more gentle than usual. When he asked the question "yes or no", his eyes were not sharp at all, only tolerant, as if no matter what Zhao Mingzhi said at the moment , will not give birth to any harshness.

Facing Li Xun like this, it was even more difficult for Zhao Mingzhi to speak up.

After a while, she finally raised her head and said, "Second brother guessed... yes or no."

Zhao Mingzhi didn't answer first, but instead asked, "Is the second elder brother's surname Li? Or does he have another surname?"

Li Xun said frankly, "It wasn't originally Li, but another surname."

Zhao Mingzhi copied what Li Xun said just now, intact, and said: "If the second brother is hard to say, let me guess."

She asked: "I heard that one of Pei Jiedu's subordinates was surnamed Li. This man was rescued from the bandit stronghold. He was very resourceful and resourceful. He was regarded as his right-hand man. When Pei Yong was away, he took care of the affairs and returned them to foreign affairs. For Liao Mian, most of the internal affairs are handled by Lieutenant General Na Li."

"It seems that he also led the army, more victories and less defeats. Qian Gang, the deputy envoy sent by the court that day, was killed by him, and because of this, he rarely came out."

"Second brother, Li and Li have similar reading characters."

Zhao Mingzhi raised his eyes to look at Li Xun, and asked directly, "You and Na Liao both said that they are so familiar and casual, not only claiming to be familiar with Pei Jiedu's affairs, not to mention being able to match me up, but now also entertaining foreign people on behalf of Pei Jiedu— —Are you that Lieutenant General?"

Pei Yongyuan was in Qinzhou, and the ones who made the decisions in the Jingzhao Mansion were naturally Lieutenant General Li and Liao Mian.

After she said this, she felt that although she was not sure, she was somewhat sure.

But after listening to Li Xun, he was not surprised at all, but simply shook his head.

He said: "The surname Li is my stepfather's surname. My original surname is Pei, and my single name has the word Yong."

After finishing speaking, he looked fixedly at Zhao Mingzhi, and said softly: "You want to find Pei Yong, and you specially took the family property out to do business, and the price you quoted was almost free. You want to use this as a bargaining chip, and ask the Jingzhao Mansion to send troops to rescue him." Xuzhou, right?"

"I was still on the road before, and it was difficult to explain many things to you, and I was not sure of your intentions. Now that I have vented, I will not hide it from you-Jingzhao Mansion sent troops earlier. When you and I first met, Yu Deng The battalion you met on the Zhouzhou Road was the reinforcements going to Xuzhou from the northwest."

"As I said before, as long as there is no chaos in Caizhou and Xuzhou does not surrender, the reinforcements will be dispatched from Dengzhou. The distance is the closest and the speed is the fastest. It will arrive at the city of Xuzhou in ten days at the earliest and half a month later."

"Before I left Junzhou, I sent another army to attack west from Yanzhou. The troops were divided into two groups. One went to Xiazhou, and the other went to Xiangqing Army. I thought that we should be able to gain something by encircling Wei and saving Zhao."

"On both sides, there is no order to send troops on your own. Together with the replacements with soldiers from other states, all of them cannot be rumored. I will tell you right now, but I will give you one or two comforts. So, are you relieved?"

　This episode is really difficult to write... I'll take my time, don't worry, try to watch it during the day instead of staying up late.

　　There are a lot of rewards that I haven't had time to count, and I will thank you one by one when I find time during the day.

　　In addition, seeing Xiange and Yayiqin He Shibi *5 in the background, I want to go over in one breath...

　　Let me say one more thing, please don't give a large amount of rewards! ! ! ! !what!what! ! !I tried my best to finish this book within 40 words, but now it is difficult to even update it stably, and the addition is even eaten by Wei San. It is very good if everyone supports the original version, okay~
