Hello Chang’an

One of the soldiers raised his chin, lowered his voice, and asked everyone: "Let's not talk about other things. Let me ask, if you have tens of thousands of cavalry privately, who can you safely leave to your side?"

Try to use empathy to come up with similar answers.

Some soldiers shook their heads and felt their backs tighten: "Tens of thousands of cavalry? I dare not think..."

A soldier scratched his head: "I can't imagine..."

Seeing that everyone failed to change positions, let alone think, the soldier who asked the question said: "How dare you all dare to think!"

Immediately, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "But I don't dare to borrow it, and no one can borrow it."

This embarrassment was because he couldn't help but think that if his old uncle, who always liked to borrow things without returning them, came to borrow them, he would not be willing to agree, and his mother-in-law would definitely point at his nose and curse... Just thinking about it That picture makes people have a headache.

Fortunately... fortunately he didn't have any at all.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, came back to his senses from the excessive drama, and expressed his conclusion: "So, how much trust does Governor Cui have to trust him if he dares to hand over such heavy troops to Chang Jie Envoy?" ! How indifferent between you and me!"

"Don't forget, envoy Chang Jie also gave Governor Cui 7 million yuan before... Now it seems that there is a back-and-forth!"

There was a lot of discussion in the barracks. Amidst the lively gossip, a voice that focused on the overall situation of the world suddenly sounded: "...If Chang Jieyang and Governor Cui really join forces, how can it be done?"

Now if these two people are alone, either one of them can change Dasheng's world.

This sentence made the atmosphere in the barracks suddenly become tense and solemn.

In the darkness, a group of people stared at each other. After a moment of silence, someone asked in a low voice: "If that day comes, what will our Shuofang Army do..."

Suddenly, they went from discussing the love between their children with great interest to worrying about the important matters of lining up in the future.

If everyone has to say it themselves, they have long been disappointed with the Dog Court. If there is someone worthy of following who comes forward to take charge of the overall situation, they will follow!

But for such a big thing, it doesn't matter what the minions say, they still have to look at what the boss wants.

At this time, someone said in a meaningful tone: "If you ask me, we don't have to worry about this..."

"Brother, what do you say?"

"Didn't you see that the envoy Chang Jie specifically named General Xue Fu today..." The man lowered his voice and said mysteriously and seductively: "Have you never thought about why the envoy Chang Jie singled out General Xue Fu? How do you recognize General Xue Fu?"

"Don't forget, General Xue Fu is an orphan who was picked up and adopted by Deputy Ambassador Cheng..."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but put their heads together, and the soldiers on other bunks also sat over.

At this time, Xue Fu, who had followed Vice Envoy Cheng into Lingzhou City and was about to get off the carriage outside Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, suddenly turned his head and sneezed twice in a row, which made the bandaged wounds on his body hurt even more. .

Upon seeing this, Deputy Cheng said: "I'll have you cook some anti-cold medicine later. You're injured. If you catch the cold again, you'll be in trouble."

Xue Fu nodded "yes" and bent to help Deputy Cheng get out of the car, but Deputy Cheng raised his hand to stop him, signaling him to take care of his injuries.

Deputy Cheng held the door frame of the carriage and was about to get out of the carriage when he paused and turned his head slightly as if he wanted to speak.

When Xue Fu was about to wait for him to speak, he saw Deputy Cheng, who was hesitant to speak, reaching out to the soldiers outside the carriage to help him, and got out of the carriage.

Xue Fu's eyes flashed with confusion and thought, and he got out of the carriage.

Seeing Chang Sui Ning dismounting, the two deputy envoys bowed to Xue Fu and then stepped aside to let Chang Sui Ning go first.

Even if nothing else is said, Chang Suining's official position is far above them. There is nothing wrong with this move. Chang Suining raised his legs and took the lead in stepping into the gate of Shuofang Jiedu Envoy's house.

Wherever they passed, almost every ten steps or so, Jiangdu cavalry sent by Chang Sui Ning to follow Wei Shuyi could be seen guarding both sides of the road.

Along the way, they saluted Chang Suining one after another.

Chang Suining walked all the way outside the main hall and saw Yuan Xiang and his people guarding the stone steps. He stopped and asked, "Is Wei Xiang safe?"

Yuan Xiang clasped his fists: "Please rest assured, Minister Wei, that Prime Minister Wei is safe and sound."

Chang Suining nodded: "Thank you for your hard work today, let's take everyone down to rest."

Yuan Xiang glanced at the shepherd's purse who was following him, and then he agreed with confidence.

An official from the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion hurried forward and said to Yuan Xiang respectfully: "I have asked people to prepare hot food to ward off the cold for you. Generals, please come down with me."

Yuan Xiang quickly led his men to withdraw, and a Shuofang army guarding the corridor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if the sword hanging above their heads had finally been removed.

When Chang Suining stepped onto the stone steps, a young man quickly walked out of the hall and came up to greet her and saluted: "Changjie Envoy!"

Chang Suining nodded to him and walked into the hall.

For a moment, everyone in the hall looked over.

There were more than ten Shuofang generals standing in the hall, and Wei Shuyi also stood up to greet him. When Chang Suining looked at him, he saw that his face was weaker, but his expression was still calm, and he smiled at Chang Suining. He nodded.

At this time, a woman in mourning clothes knelt down, put her hands on the ground, and saluted Chang Suining. Her voice was hoarse and grateful: "Thank you very much, Ambassador Chang Jie, for saving my son Chunyan's life outside Lingzhou City today!"

Yue Chunyan walked to his mother, knelt down and kowtowed: "Shi Changjie not only saved my life, but also saved Shuofang's army from chaos. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life!"

The dozen or so generals also lowered their heads one after another and thanked Chang Sui Ning with fists in his hands.

They already knew the news in the army and how Shi Daxiong was executed.

In fact, when they first heard that Chang Sui Ning had led 50,000 cavalry into Lingzhou, they were not only shocked but angry.

Angry at the other party's sudden invasion of Lingzhou with such heavy troops, this is undoubtedly very offensive.

But at this time, when most of them thought of the consequences of Master Daxiong's success today, their anger was completely swallowed up by fear.

They can stand here because they are all people whom Yue Guang trusted during his lifetime. Of course, there are some among them who had previously favored Shi Daxiong, but at most they wanted to choose a new leader for the Shuofang Army who could convince the public, so as to avoid being divided and bullied by the imperial court.

In addition, they also hold the idea that Shi Daxiong can lead them to avenge Yue Jieshi.

But no matter how they thought about it, they never thought of harming the mother-in-law and her son. Shi Daxiong's move today was something they would never tolerate.

This is the thought of most of the dozen or so generals. There may be one or two people whose ambition is more important than morality. They don't care about Shi Daxiong's methods. But at this time, Shi Daxiong is dead. Even if they have Even if you have different intentions, you must hide them and crush them into pieces. At Chang Suining's signal, shepherd's purse stepped forward and helped Yue Chunyan and her son up.

When shepherd's purse held his arm, Yue Chunyan wanted to kowtow to Chang Sui Ning again in order to express his gratitude. However, before he could put his head to the ground, he was pulled up directly by shepherd's purse's strong arm.

Chang Sui Ning was not in a hurry to take a seat, but asked first: "I wonder if the conversation between Prime Minister Wei and you all went well?"

Judging from the atmosphere, it is not considered tense, but the comfort effect must have been achieved.

But it was already this hour, and Wei Shuyi, who was injured, had not yet been able to rest. He seemed to have encountered some problems.

Seeing the different expressions of the generals, Deputy Cheng named one of them and motioned for him to speak.

The military general first looked at Wei Shuyi and said: "Prime Minister Wei sacrificed his life to save Mr. Da Lang today. We are truly grateful and admire him! Prime Minister Wei's sincerity in this trip is also visible to us!"

Wei Shuyi offered many compensation strategies, including providing pensions to the Yue family, conferring a title on Yue Chunyan, and even allowing Shuofang's army to elect a new Shuofang Jiedushi internally to prevent Shuofang's military power from transferring externally.

"We understand that Prime Minister Wei has tried his best to be sincere." The general's eyes fell on Wei Shuyi's injured arm, and he frowned: "If we don't let go and agree, it seems to be too unreasonable and ignorant."

"However, regardless of Prime Minister Wei's proposals, what we really care about the most is another thing." The general clenched his fists and said, "That is the revenge of the Yue Jie Envoy! We must avenge it! "

"About the court's fault, Madam has already said something today -" the general glanced at Mrs. Yue's family and said: "The way Prime Minister Wei saved Lang Jun this time is a life for a life. We Shuofang Army recognize this kindness and regard it as Wei's fault." I have made up for it on behalf of the imperial court!”

"However, the initiator is King Rong of Yizhou... There is no possibility of resolving this hatred!" The general said with hatred in his eyes: "Let us continue to garrison Shuofang and serve the country without being able to kill the enemy with our hands. This tone, brothers I can’t even swallow it!”

"Wei Xiangyan said that the imperial court has sent troops to the Shannan West Road, and will definitely attack the crime of King Rong -" The military general said this, paused slightly, and then said: "I am a rough man. If you have anything to say, just say it. We are not here." I think the imperial court has a good chance of winning against King Rong! Even if the odds of winning are 50-50, Prime Minister Wei’s promise can’t make us feel at ease!”

"That's right!" Another person said: "If the imperial court is defeated and King Rong ascends the throne one day, where will our Shuofang army go? If we can't avenge the envoys, Shuofang army will definitely be punished by the new dynasty!"

"If the result is like this, then no matter how much we shed our blood, we are just trying to help King Rong establish the country!"

"I can't take revenge, but I still have to make a wedding dress for my enemy. How can I survive in this world? I can't swallow this cowardice!"

"Besides, even if the imperial court can win, according to the saint's behavior, he may settle accounts with our Shuofang army in the future! I would like to believe in Prime Minister Wei, but I cannot fully believe in your majesty!"

“…”

Wei Shuyi had done his best to calm down the anger of Shuofang's army, but the problem at this time was the root conflict, which was beyond the scope of Wei Shuyi's ability as a courtier to mediate.

When Wei Shuyi heard this, he was not in a hurry to speak. By now, he had noticed that these Shuofang generals already had a direction in mind to solve the problem.

The leading general cast his gaze on Chang Sui Ning and asked sternly: "There are many rumors going around now that Chang Jie has the ambition to conquer the world. May I ask if it is true or not?"

Deputy Cheng frowned and scolded: "...Jiangtai!"

The general's expression did not change, he was just waiting for Chang Sui Ning's answer.

Wei Shuyi smiled slightly in his heart - very good, I asked him directly in front of him, the imperial envoy.

Chang Suining nodded candidly: "It is true."

Lieutenant Jin's eyes trembled, and the generals were in an uproar. Wei Shuyi smiled again.

The general who called Jiangtai focused his eyes and clasped his fists tightly: "Okay, Chang Jie is so brave! Although she is a woman, she is not inferior to a man in the slightest! It is admirable!"

After he finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists again: "I am willing to follow Chang Jie Envoy together with Shuofang's army. I only hope that when Chang Jie Envoy achieves great things, he can kill that thief King Rong Li Yin on my behalf!"

Deputy Envoy Cheng and Deputy Envoy Jin both changed their expressions, and when they were about to stop him, five or six other generals knelt down to acknowledge their master.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Chunyan also knelt down.

There was still a faint smile on Wei Shuyi's lips. At this moment, he actually felt a sense of closeness and distance. The closeness was that these people did not seem to regard him as an outsider, and the remoteness was that these people did not seem to regard him as a living person.

Seeing more and more people kneeling down, Deputy Cheng felt a headache and scolded: "The imperial envoy is here, how can I allow you to talk nonsense!"

This has nothing to do with whether he supports this matter or not. It is always inappropriate to talk about it in public without hesitation... and it can easily put pressure on family members!

"Deputy Envoy Cheng, what's wrong with the imperial envoy's presence? Even if we report this to the Empress, the court can't do anything to deal with us at this time. If we don't rebel at this time, we still agree to garrison the pass, and we have already given the court enough face! This face will be given to us again If you go down, you will lead your brothers to death!"

Jiang Tai said, turning to look at Wei Shuyi: "Besides, in the worst case, we will keep Prime Minister Wei to save Prime Minister Wei from embarrassment! What good is the court that has exhausted its power? Prime Minister Wei is such a talented person, there should be a better way out That’s right!”

"That's right!" Someone else advised: "Xiang Wei, it seems that Changjie also saved your life today. To do your best to your benefactor is called being kind and righteous!"

Wei Shuyi smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

It is rare for an imperial envoy to reach this level.

Chang Suining's mood was a little complicated.

When she came to Guannai Road, she naturally thought about the possibility of forming a good relationship, but she never thought that the good relationship could be formed in such a simple step.

Although it was a little faster, Chang Suining had no pressure at all—

Shepherd's Purse also felt that her family's envoy shouldn't be under pressure. Anyway, her family's envoy's sack was big, so why not be afraid, just fill it in!

"I am lucky to have your trust so much." Chang Suining looked at Jiangtai and others and promised: "From now on, all you have to do is stay in the north with peace of mind. I will kill King Rong Li Yin."

Uncle Wei heard it in his ears, his eyes and mind moved slightly.

There is no need for them to conquer the city for her, but let them continue to garrison the northern border.

It’s not about doing your best, but about “killing”.

She is extremely generous and extremely confident.

Tears rolled out of Yue Chunyan's eyes and he kowtowed his head again.

Xue Fu, who had not expressed his position until now, also came over and knelt down beside Jiang Tai.

When Deputy Envoys Cheng and Jin saw this, they stopped trying to say anything. They both lowered their heads, bowed to Chang Sui Ning, and bowed deeply. (End of chapter)
