Li Daozhen rode on a blue-black horse, and the Mo knife that made Chen Ying's heart palpitate was horizontal in front of his knees. Li Daozhen stared at the marching array of lancers.

Looking at Li Daozhen's cold face, Chen Ying secretly complained in his heart: "Why is this aunt here?" ”

Li Daozhen shouted: "Is Wugong Hou planning to leave like this?" ”

Chen Ying stepped forward and arched his hand: "What are you going to do?" ”

"My brother is ......injured," Li Daozhen said: "My brother is the envoy of the Dingyuan Army, so it is too unkind to say goodbye!" ”

Chen Ying suddenly understood that since Li Yuan had restored his official position and was crowned General Zuo Wuwei, of course, it did not mean that Li Yuan was completely at ease with him. Li Daozong's official position as the envoy of the army is still there, and Li Daozong has turned the corner from danger to safety, but there is no way to go long distances now.

Chen Yingdao: "This matter is Chen's thoughtlessness!" Chen will go into the city to meet with the Duke of Luoyang! ”

Xu Jingzong wanted to speak and stopped: "This ......"

Zhao Chunyang gave Xu Jingzong a look and asked him not to speak. Xu Jingzong didn't know that Chen Ying was almost killed under Li Daozhen's strange knife. Chen Ying looked at everyone and said, "Then I'll go over first, and tell Luoyang Gong in person, you guys are waiting for me to come over in the north." ”

Li Daozhen didn't talk nonsense, turned the horse's head, and led the crowd towards the valley.

Chen Ying followed closely with a horse.

After Li Daozong's assassination, he stayed in Gaoping County. However, when Li Daozong's injuries improved, Li Daozong insisted on moving out of the county government and living in Gaoping Station. Originally, the courtyard of Gaoping Post Station was not large, but it was completely taken over by Li Daozong's personal entourage, or more than 100 servants, either bright or dark, and protected Gaoping Post Station from wind and rain.

Chen Ying followed Li Daozhen into the Mingtang Hall of the post station, saluted Li Daozong, who stood up at the door of the hall, and said, "I've seen the Duke of Luoyang!" ”

Although Chen Ying's official position at this time was higher than that of Li Daozong, Li Daozong was a fourth-class founder of Luoyang County, and was regarded as a second-class official. Chen Ying is only a sixth-class founding county marquis, regarded as a third-class candidate. The middle is three levels worse.

"Hahaha......" Li Daozong laughed and said: "You and I will be colleagues in the future, why should we be so polite, we are the same age, why don't we be commensurate with brothers!" ”

Li Daozong asked Chen Ying for an interview, naturally not to discuss military affairs, in fact, he was not concerned about the military affairs of Lingzhou. The eldest brother is like a father, and Li Daozong is most worried about Li Daozhen's marriage. Li Daozhen can be said to be notorious, and the entire Chang'an Xungui disciples avoid it.

According to the customs of this era, if you want to discuss Chen Ying's marriage, you should consult with Chen Ying's elder clansmen. However, Chen Ying's situation is very special, Chen Ying has neither family nor elders alive. And Li Daozong also wants to see how Chen Ying is before he is officially engaged, although he has heard a lot of rumors about Chen Ying, but hearing is false, seeing is believing. Li Daozong trusts his eyes more.

Chen Ying saw that Li Daozong was so easy to speak, and he didn't think much about it in his heart. At this time, Chen Ying also had no idea about Li Yuan's desire to marry him. Chen Yingdao: "This makes this? ”

Li Daozong said: "How can I not do it, how old is the elder brother of the Taoist sect, he will be entrusted with the eldest brother!" ”

Chen Ying told the truth and didn't want to offend Li Daozong, the prison army, if Li Daozong gave him some eye medicine, Chen Yingke would not be able to eat and walk away. Chen Ying said generously: "Brother! ”

"Virtuous brother!" Li Daozong stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ying's hands and said, "Come, come, come inside, please ......"

Li Daozong looked at Li Daozhen and secretly looked at Chen Ying, his face was rarely a little ruddy. Li Daozong sighed for a while, he could make Li Daozhen look like a little daughter, and Li Daozong himself didn't know what to say.

Li Daozong sighed softly and threw the distracting thoughts out of his mind. Chen Ying's appearance was originally feminine, and it was not beautiful in the martial country of the Tang Dynasty. However, as Chen Ying slept in Lingzhou, Chen Ying's complexion was much darker than before, and his white skin was gone, replaced by a wheat-colored skin.

In addition, Chen Ying has repeatedly defeated the Turks, cultivating a free and easy self-confidence, and he is also heroic.

Li Daozong decided to test Chen Ying's reaction first, if Chen Ying wanted to say that he already had a favorite person, this matter would be completely forgotten by both parties.

Li Daozong and Chen Ying were talking about each other, almost running out of Chen Ying's patience, so he vaguely asked Chen Ying if he had a favorite object? Do you need his help to propose?

Chen Ying naturally has a favorite object, that is, Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning. But how dare he say it, not to mention that Princess Pingyang already has a concubine, even the huge gap in their identities is also an insurmountable gap.

Hearing Chen Ying shake and say no, Li Daozong was full of joy.

However, Li Daozong did not mention Li Daozhen, and what made Chen Ying feel even more inexplicable was that Li Daozhen gave Chen Ying a pair of armor before leaving. This is a dazzling pair of bright light armor, gold and purple inlaid moire animal skin shawl (sleeves), Ming gold line Yunwen short knee battle skirt, and red embellishments on the neck guard.

Chen Ying took the armor and sighed secretly. Such a set of such dazzling armor, as long as it is on the battlefield, it will definitely become the target of the enemy, and wearing such a set of armor to the battlefield is simply a birthday star hanging - it is a long life.

However, Chen Ying didn't think much about it, he didn't think that this was a token of love given to him by Li Daozhen.

If Chen Ying knew that this was his token of love, it was estimated that a mouthful of old blood would spurt out three feet.

The token of love can send gold and silver ornaments, jade ornaments, even if it is a piece of clothing, Chen Ying will also think that Li Daozhen gave a piece of Mingguang armor.

So, this misunderstanding became a big one.

……

On March 25, the second year of Wude, Chen Ying led more than 300 soldiers of the Yue cavalry regiment, and arrived in Lingzhou City with Xu Jingzong, who had been coaxed.

At this time, Lingzhou Governor Shi Yang was also promoted to Lingzhou Assassin because of his merits in the Battle of Lingzhou. Yang Ze has also been promoted from a civil and prose official to a formal doctor, and then he can enter the ranks of third-grade officials (high-ranking officials).

Xu Jingzong, who officially entered the scene, observed Lingzhou City for three days, and immediately asked Chen Ying a fatal question. How to solve the supply problem of the Dingyuan Army, the Shengjie Army and the Sujie Army.

The establishment given to Chen Ying by the imperial court was more than 12,000 people in the twelve prefectures, but Chen Ying was actually more than 22,000 men and horses in the six prefectures and five departments, which was nearly twice as much as the establishment. Of course, when the world is undecided, eating empty quotas is simply looking for death, and over-numbering is the norm in this era, but how to solve the supply problem is the most important thing.

On the night of March 28 in the second year of Wude, Chen Ying summoned his henchmen Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Liu Tong, Bi Xin, Ryazan , Chen Jinyong, Zhang Huaiwei, Chen Huairen, Yu Guni, Du Shanguo, Xu Jingzong and other confidants to gather in the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion to discuss and decide on several core issues that would determine the future development of the Dingyuan Army.
