"Come, take a drink first, the virtuous brother has suffered."

Fang Xuanling raised his glass to invite him to drink first, Li Daliang smiled bitterly and accompanied him, there was really no disadvantage in eating and drinking, it was better than what he ate in Tongguan, even if this wine and food were made by Fang Xuanling's mother-in-law, Li Daliang couldn't eat any taste.

But for the first time in so many days, when he saw the "acquaintance" who visited him, he was only grateful in addition to excitement.

Putting down the wine glass, while filling Fang Xuanling first, he said, "Brother Fang made a special trip to visit the younger brother?" If that's the case, the little brother really doesn't know what to say, I have no relatives in Beijing, and now I am a prisoner under the stairs, and the panic is hard to explain......"

Half-truths and half-truths, the vitality of Henan people has always been strong, just like when Li Mi led people to the Tang Dynasty, he was able to find Fang Xuanling's door, there may be some fears, but it may not be difficult to say a word.

You can see that he is in this situation, and he still wants to ask Princess Pingyang for help, but it is not yet the time when he is most desperate.

Besides, there is no fear of life, where else can you be afraid? You see that Cheng Zhijie, who is not far from him, thinks very openly, eats and drinks enough to bask in the sun, and never worries about the road ahead.

Of course, he can't be compared with Cheng Zhijie, a few days ago, the King of Han came to see Cheng Beard, and he made a lot of trouble, Cheng Beard was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, but it was better than no one caring.

In fact, what scared Li Daliang the most was not anything else, but that no one remembered that there was such a person as him, so even if he left here, where could he go?

No one appreciates it, no one recommends it, and this is the last thing people in officialdom want to face.

Fang Xuanling came, everything had hope, Fang Qiao was the staff of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the official was not big, but there were friendships everywhere in Chang'an, the capital division, even if it was difficult to protect itself now, it was not comparable to ordinary officials.

Fang Xuanling's words of comfort came as soon as he opened his mouth, "Isn't this here for brother, what is the good brother in a hurry?" ”

Li Daliang raised his glass to toast, "I am very grateful, please Sima Man drink this cup...... Today's grace is not reciprocated, and if there is any dispatch on another day, just command. ”

Li Daliang is actually not a person who talks a lot, so after a few cups, after saying the words of thanks, his words gradually became less, Fang Xuanling didn't care, and inquired about the fall of Tongguan, and knew that there might be a hidden secret, where did he dare to ask again.

So he changed the subject, "How long has the virtuous brother been in Jinzhou Sima?" ”

Li Daliang knew everything, and his words became more and more concise, which was indeed different from others, "I served for one year and four months, and I served as Yongfeng Cangshou in Yongfeng Cang for more than two months." ”

"So it's not a short time, and you're still familiar with Golden State?" Fang Xuanling then asked.

Li Daliang only groaned slightly, "The state capital is still there, and Cao still knows some people from all departments, and Wang Beijia appreciates me a lot...... But it's been half a year since I left, I don't know if anyone is still there? ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "What is the situation now, the virtuous brother should also know, the old master has died, and the new master has just come, if we don't have the heart to resist, we can only go with the flow, do you think so?" ”

So what's not the case? He Li Daliang didn't eat a few mouthfuls of Li Yuan's family, and he was implicated in the current situation, and there was no obstacle to serving the new master, so he was afraid that people would not recognize him.

"Sima has something to say, even if he says it directly, I just listen."

Seeing that his serious appearance seemed to be swearing, Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "No need to do this, it's a good thing, now the king of Han has slightly settled in Guanxi, but Shuzhong has not yet been decided, and Jinzhou is the gateway to Shuzhong, connecting Hanzhong in the west and Bashu in the south, which is a vital place, and the virtuous brother is willing to help others?" ”

Li Daliang was overjoyed, don't look at him as a civilian official for more than a year, but he is no stranger to marching and fighting, of course, there are not many pure civilian officials in these years.

Li Daliang raised his glass again, "Thank you Sima Chengquan." ”

The two touched each other, and they both drank it all, and then Li Daliang asked, "When will it be possible?" Which general to follow? ”

Fang Xuanling didn't hide it, "Since the virtuous brother has responded, if it is fast, there will be an order to come over tomorrow...... What position you live in, don't worry about it, let's look at the long-term ......"

Where does Li Daliang care about this, "Whatever Sima says, as long as he can leave here, don't say anything about his official position, even if he wants me to be a pawn, I am also happy." ”

Fang Xuanling smiled, "That's not it, it should be with Pharmacist Li as a staff member." ”

Pharmacist Lee? Li Daliang is not unfamiliar with the name of this family, the long history of Princess Pingyang's mansion, I have never met, and it is only that Princess Pingyang usually communicates letters with Jingshi, conveys military orders, etc., and occasionally mentions this person, and his sources are limited, and the others are unknown.

Now he can lead troops to serve in front of the army? He was a little suspicious of his ears, the King of Han had just entered Chang'an, and he let the chief of Princess Pingyang's Mansion go out to lead the troops, even if the rumors were true, but this was too hasty, right?

"Pharmacist Li? But that Li Changshi of the princess's mansion? Li Daliang asked suspiciously.

Fang Xuanling nodded, "It's Li Changshi, let's be honest, this Li Changshi is the father of Princess Han, and he took refuge in the princess's mansion in his early years...... You don't have to pay attention to all this, just know that you are serving by the side of the noble, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and you must do your best to assist, and there will be countless benefits in the future. ”

Li Daliang said in his heart, damn it, what kind of messy relationship is this, did I hear something that I shouldn't have heard?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "Li Changshi's status is so noble, why do you want to play in front of the battle?" Among them......"

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Daliang at this time, and felt that he had asked too much, and he didn't know much about the details, but in the end, he patiently answered, which was just his own guess.

"Xu is the Han King has very few relatives and wants to reuse it, so he wants to go to the front of the battle to get some military merits, so that it can be used for promotion, right? Don't be foolish...... I ask again, do you want to go, if not, don't force it.

You must know that along the way, if the people around you are not strong...... After the fact, you and I can't escape the guilt. ”

As soon as Li Daliang heard it, he knew that he had lost his words, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The noble person can use me, fortunately, please rest assured Sima, Li Daliang has also been an official for many years, and he has never missed the right thing." ”

Fang Xuanling patted his arm with a smile and raised his wine glass, "It's a long way to go, I'm here for my brother to wish you a smooth journey, and I can celebrate my virtuous brother when I see you again." ”

The two ate and drank for a while, and completely settled the matter, Fang Xuanling didn't stay long, and said goodbye and left.

Now that the future has been settled, Li Daliang's whole person looks different, the dark clouds are gone, his spirit is immediately sufficient, his appetite is also here, and he eats the food brought by Fang Xuanling.

is preparing to go to the courtyard for a stroll, sleep well tonight, according to Fang Xuanling, tomorrow after receiving the withering order, you may have to leave Beijing immediately, all the way to the west, you need to recuperate your spirits, so as to cope with the upcoming journey.

At this moment, the courtyard gate was slammed, and the force was very strong, which scared Li Daliang.

When he opened the door, the first thing that caught his eye was a large beard, and a crack in the middle of the beard erupted in a series of loud laughs.

Li Daliang was startled again, and a monster with a blue face stood in front of the door and spoke.

"Why did Brother Li answer the door? Don't panic, I'm Cheng Zhijie, I heard that Brother Li also served under Duke Wei, so I came to see what kind of hero he is, and now when I see it, it's really good, hahaha. ”

Don't guess, only Cheng Zhijie has such a bad laugh, since he was beaten by Luo Shixin, nothing else has changed, the advantage is that he can move around, after all, he is the only one who can let King Han come to visit in person.

Whether he was beaten or stabbed, as long as he didn't die, it was inevitable that he would be treated preferentially.

Cheng Zhijie's temperament is at best good to make friends from all walks of life, at worst he likes to form gangs, and he has good means, and he is the best among such people.

Such people have been eating since ancient times, and no matter where they go, they are actually very open, of course, the more such guys are, the easier it is to be slapped in the face.

No, it didn't take a few days for him to get acquainted with the sergeants on guard, and no one in custody anywhere could hide it from him.

A nobody like Li Daliang naturally doesn't look at Cheng Dabeard in the eyes of a beard, he is a person who has seen the world, and he has been the commander of the pro-army for the Duke of Wei and Emperor Wang.

But the identity of Fang Xuanling, who came just now, is not so simple, Cheng Zhijie learned the news, his eyes rolled, and he immediately took out a jar of wine that he had finally gotten to befriend.

Li Daliang let people in in a daze, only to remember that he didn't know this bearded monster, so there was no need to mention Wei Gong or anything, Wei Gong didn't know who he Li Daliang was, and he had never met Li Mi.

Especially the backgrounds of Wei Gong's subordinates are too mixed, former Sui officers and soldiers, bandits from all walks of life, and peasants like Zhang Liang, he Li Daliang has long since wanted to mention his experience in Henan.

Faced with such a remnant of Duke Wei's subordinates, Li Daliang wanted to grab the other party's beard and throw it out, but he was a little puzzled, what was this person looking for him?

Of course, Cheng Zhijie still knows who it is, Cheng Dabeard is a celebrity in Tongguan, and on the way from Tongguan to Chang'an, this person is also very conspicuous, following Xu Shiji, he doesn't look like a descendant at all.

The more he knew who this person was, the more he wondered how this person could come to his door, and he was beaten like this, and he could laugh so happily, he really wanted to say something to admire.

Cheng Dabeard really didn't see outside, he walked into the house with the wine, went straight into the hall, and didn't dislike the leftovers on the table when he saw it, and laughed like thunder when he sat down, "It's unfortunate that Brother Li has eaten, but it doesn't matter, I'm here to drink with Brother Li, and what I eat comes second." ”
