Chen Xianqi knew that Liu Daoqian was suspicious of himself, if he didn't explain it clearly, Liu Daoqian would definitely think that he was sent by Li Xilie to test Liu Daoqian, he took a sip of wine and sighed: "Lord Liu wants to say that since I am Li Xilie's henchman, why do you want to betray him?" ”

Liu Daoqian smiled, didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and drank it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Xianqi said: "The last general was born in the army, and he fought out step by step from the small soldiers, General Li has the grace of knowing and promoting the last general, it stands to reason that I should be dead set on him, but with General Li's personality, if I do this, I will not repay him, but harm him!" ”

Liu Daoqian said: "Why do you say that? ”

"Datang is far from the point where the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it, and the local feudal towns are against the imperial court, and there will be no good results in the end. General Li has been kind to me, and I don't want to see him become the target of the imperial court's extermination in the future! ”

Liu Daoqian was suddenly in awe and sighed: "This is the real loyalty!" ”

After taking a sip of wine, Liu Daoqian put down his glass and asked, "What did the general do when he stopped me, and what does he need me to do?" ”

Chen Xianqi pondered for a moment, raised his head and hugged his fist at Liu Daoqian and said: "Lord Liu, the last general is the commander of the scout battalion, and he knows a little bit about the news, and the changes in the imperial court, the last general has already learned that he is now in charge of the regent!" The last general also has some understanding of the person regent, with his temperament and determination, since he can send Lord Liu here, he will definitely not allow another Li Zhongchen to appear in Huaixi, I think Lord Liu's purpose is not just to eradicate Li Zhongchen, but to completely recover Huaixi and put it under the rule of the imperial court, right? ”

Of course, Liu Daoqian didn't dare to admit it casually, so he smiled silently.

Chen Xianqi continued: "The last general can help Lord Liu do this・・・・・・・ however, Lord Liu or the imperial court must agree to a condition for the last general!" ”

Liu Daoqian's hand that was about to pick up vegetables stopped, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Chen Xianqi said with a straight face: "Let General Li have a way to live, transfer him out of Huaixi, and it is best to transfer him back to the imperial court!" ”

Liu Daoqian put down his chopsticks, withdrew his hand and put it on his lap, looked at Chen Xianqi and asked, "General Chen is not joking?" ”

"Does Lord Liu think that the last general is such a boring person?"

Liu Daoqian was unmoved: "How can this official believe that you were not sent by Li Xilie to test this official?" ”

Chen Xianqi shook his head: "The last general can't make the adults believe it, but in the past few days, the adults have sent people to follow the last general and send people to keep an eye on General Li's mansion, and the last general can report to General Li!" ”

Discovered? Impossible, right? Those people from the Xuanjiu faction are all experts in this area, Liu Daoqian beat a drum in his heart, he looked at Chen Xianqi, forced himself to calm down, and asked rhetorically: "This official brought a few entourages on this trip, will this official send a few entourages to follow the general?" Is the general sure that it is the officer's person who is watching? ”

Chen Xianqi was puzzled: "My lord, it's really not your person?" ”

Liu Daoqian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that although this Chen Xianqi seems to be loyal, he is delicate, and he will play this kind of trick to deceive him, this person is not simple!

"Of course not, General Chen, why do you think it's the official's person?"

Chen Xianqi didn't answer, and said to himself: "The person who is tracking the last general is extremely clever in stalking and tracking, and the last general can only feel that he has been stared at, but he has never been able to find this person, this is a master!" If it's not an adult, then it can only be someone sent by Li Zhongchen or Zhang Huiguang's father and son, it seems that we have to be careful. Lord Liu, let me send a few people to protect your safety, since they sent people to keep an eye on the last general, they must have noticed you, and now your situation is very dangerous! ”

Liu Daoqian thought about it for a while, if he refused, it might arouse Chen Xianqi's suspicions, which was not conducive to the next layout, and he really needed protection, after all, this was in Huaixi, on the territory of Li Zhongchen and Zhang Huiguang's father and son, not in Chang'an. Although it is a little inconvenient to be followed by a few people, as long as you pay attention, it is no problem.

Liu Daoqian agreed: "Okay, then it's troublesome to the general!" What the general said just now, of course, the imperial court also hopes to recover Huaixi and put it under the rule of the imperial court, and there will be no more people like Li Zhongchen. But Li Xilie is not such an easy person to send, can the general really cooperate with the official to complete this step? ”

Chen Xianqi said: "As long as the adult agrees to the conditions of the last general, the last general can help the adult to complete this step!" ”

Liu Daoqian still didn't agree positively, he asked: "The official is very curious, since you put forward the conditions, why don't you think about it for yourself?" You could have asked the court for official positions, titles, and rewards, but why didn't you mention them? ”

Chen Xianqi said: "Do you think that it is natural for a courtier to ask the court and the regent for official positions, titles and rewards? If so, then it is not unreasonable for the Tang Dynasty to be in chaos like this! The last general believes that what position an official and general is appointed, the imperial court must be considered, the vast majority of people do not know how much talent they have, can be any kind of official position, blindly try to climb up, if a talented person is in a high position, it will be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the people, if there is no talent and jealousy of the person in a high position, this is not a blessing for the country! After this incident, how did the imperial court settle the last general, the last general believed that the imperial court and the regent knew in their hearts, if the last general asked the imperial court for official positions, titles and rewards, what was the difference between this and Li Zhongchen, Li Huaixian, Tian Yue and Li Baochen, these traitors? ”

Liu Daoqian didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed: "If all the officials and generals in the world think like the general, how can there be so many things in the world?" How could the people have suffered so much? The general's loyalty and righteousness are admired by this official, please accept this official's worship! After saying that, he got up and saluted.

Chen Xianqi hurriedly stopped him: "Adults can't help it, can't do it!" ”

After the two sat down again, Liu Daoqian said: "General, this official can promise you on behalf of the imperial court, but it is difficult to say whether Li Xilie will obey the arrangement of the imperial court. ”

Chen Xianqi also understood what Liu Daoqian meant, after all, Li Xilie was a strong person, and he wanted him to give up the military power in his hand and go to Chang'an to become an official, he was afraid that he would not be willing to hand over the military power, and in the end it would inevitably lead to the end of the war, he sighed: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!" Lord Liu, if General Li refuses to hand over his military power in the end, the last general hopes that the imperial court will not harm his life and let him take his family to Chang'an for retirement! As for the matter of depriving him of military power, the last man will be responsible for handling it! ”

Liu Daoqian looked at Chen Xianqi and nodded in agreement: "Okay, this official promises you!" ”

・・・・・・

After breakfast, Zhang Yuan put on a cloak, put on thick warm fur boots, tied a sword around his waist and walked out.

Li Shi stopped him from behind the screen: "Son, what are you going to do when people are freezing to death outside this early morning?" ”

Zhang Yuan didn't stop when he heard this, and waved his hand while walking faster: "Mother, the child goes to the barracks for training, you don't care, I'll come back at noon to accompany you for lunch!" ”

Li Shi was stunned and said to himself: "When did this kid become so diligent?" ”

Zhang Yuan walked out of the mansion, several entourages and soldiers were waiting outside, each riding a horse, and a soldier leading a war horse with an extraordinarily divine horse, this is Zhang Yuan's mount, it is a peerless horse purchased from the West Qin Dynasty.

Zhang Yuan took the war horse and turned over and climbed up, don't look at Zhang Yuan's arrogance and impermanence on weekdays, but this guy is really not an ordinary gentleman, and the kung fu immediately on the horse is not something that ordinary gentlemen can match.

An attendant asked, "Young Master, where are we going today?" ”

"Nonsense, of course it's Xiaoshiqiao Village, Young Master Ben is going to have a private meeting with my family Xiaocui! Hahaha・・・・・・" Zhang Yuan remembered Liu Cui's panicked expression as he spoke, which made him love more and more when he looked at it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud if he wanted to be obscene.

Zhang Yuan took the lead, leading his entourage to quickly leave Zhang's Mansion and rush towards the east gate, the vendors who set up stalls on both sides of the street to do business were so frightened that they retreated, and more than a dozen stalls were overturned along the way, but these merchants who suffered losses dared not speak out, and could only stare at the back of Zhang Yuan and others leaving with murderous eyes and expressions.

When Zhang Yuan and others had not yet arrived at the east gate, a fast horse galloped out of the east gate and went eastward, and soon came to the chaotic stone flat five miles outside the city.

The knight on horseback clenched his fist at the masked bandit in the lead and said, "General, people are already coming this way, and it won't take a cup of tea to arrive!" ”

The masked bandit led by him waved his hand: "Hide it, let's wait for the rabbit!" ”

"Yes!"

The knight who reported the news estimated very accurately, Zhang Yuan and his entourage really arrived at the rocky flat after only a cup of tea, and the masked bandit leader who was hiding behind a pile of rocks slowly raised his hand, saw the opportunity and waved his arm down, and several masked people who controlled the tripping horse immediately tightened the rope.

I saw Zhang Yuan, who was galloping quickly, and his entourage, together with the war horses, fell to the ground one after another, and after the screams and neighing of the horses sounded, the masked bandit leader led his bandits to kill from behind the pile of rocks.

Zhang Yuan, who was injured in his hands and feet, was quickly caught, and the other entourages were cut to the ground one after another, only one of the entourages quickly got up and drew their knives to force back the masked bandits who rushed over, and then led a horse that had just stood up and turned over on the horse, and quickly hit the horse and ran back.

A masked bandit took out a bow and arrow and aimed it at the back of the fleeing entourage and was about to shoot it with an arrow, but the masked bandit leader came over and stretched out his hand and held it down: "If you kill him, how will Zhang Huiguang know where Zhang Yuan has gone?" How can we ask for a ransom? Let him go! ”

The masked bandit collected his bow and arrows: "What the general said is very true! ”
