When Cui Xiaoyi rushed from Chang'an to Lujiang to see Suning, it was already five days after Xue Rengui led the army to leave, and during these times, Suning met with the heads of some small and medium-sized families, gave them some necessary comfort, appeased their hearts, and let them honestly accept the changes in Jiangnan.

This situation lasted until the night when Cui Xiaoyi arrived in Lujiang, two blood drops secretly escorted Cui Xiaoyi to Suning's residence, saw Suning, and as soon as he saw Suning, Cui Xiaoyi frowned and accused Suning: "Erlang, why did you let Xue Rengui lead the army back to escort the money?" Do you know that you have put yourself in a very dangerous situation? Xue Rengui is gone, and the most important protective force around Erlang is gone, isn't it at the mercy of others! ”

When Suning saw that Cui Xiaoyi was very angry, he could only smile helplessly: "Mr. has said it, isn't the imperial court planning to sweep the north on a large scale recently?" The Western Turks and Xue Yantuo are almost the same, the vertical and horizontal departments have already chosen a reason to cause trouble at any time, the Gong Imperial Court army crusaded against these disloyal and unrighteous people, the imperial court army was assembled, and it was preparing to complete its work in one battle, how many years of preparation was to completely level the northern grasslands at this time, and the brothers were ordered to gather the army to prepare for the Northern Expedition, not to mention the other armies?

At this time, the Northern Expedition is a big deal, but I am a small matter here, I am really embarrassed to delay the Northern Expedition of the imperial court for me, transporting such a large amount of money, and an ordinary army cannot be trusted without more than 5,000 people. But an army of 5,000 people can support a battle on its own, and if I leave 2,000 elite carnivorous troops by my side to protect me at this time. Then he asked the imperial court to allocate 5,000 troops to the south to escort the money, fearing that he would be slandered by the villain.

The gentleman also knows how much this matter is involved. I made such a big move in the south, and many officials in the imperial court objected to my practice of buying land on a large scale, saying that I would buy national land on a large scale despite the emptiness of the national treasury. Now there are a lot of these statements, and it is not good for me! ”

Du Ruhui fought for Suning in the imperial court, and Li Ermajesty also expressed his support for Suning's purchase of land, which made those opposition forces fail to succeed, plus the Northern Expedition is important, and the main energy of the imperial court is on the Northern Expedition, so I don't have time to care about this matter, but if this thing is not done well, after the Northern Expedition ends. It will definitely be brought up again, and the situation in Suning at that time will be very unfavorable, what is the idea of one person with 7,000 troops in Jiangnan?

Du Ruhui has already told Suning to be careful. This matter can be big or small, but this more than 10 million acres of land is really costly, except for the Northern Expedition. It has almost swept away the savings of the imperial court for several years, and this has not included the part that is not discounted and not discounted. Those officials who don't realize the usefulness of buying land and deliberately want to go against Suning will let this matter go? Be careful, even if you are in danger. As long as it is properly protected and there is no danger to life, if it is at a critical moment, this is a talisman, a medium scale, and you can grasp it yourself.

Du Ruhui said so, what else can Suning say? decisively did not ask the imperial army to go south to escort the money and grain, but in the name of not daring to delay the Northern Expedition, Li Er Majesty sent Xue Rengui's army, which went south to protect Suning, to go north directly and start again, which can be regarded as loyalty to the country and a weight of struggle.

Alas, struggle, those guys, don't want to see their own good, there is more than one force in the court, and now the separation of military and political is the general trend, even if the military intends to help each other, it must be a little avoidant, not to mention Suning's previous practice of protecting the military from the junta has also led many generals in the military to be dissatisfied with Suning, at this moment, if the scale is not well grasped, it is likely to be a disaster.

In this way, Suning is also helpless, and Suning has a deeper thought: "I know why Mr. is worried, and I also understand that I am in danger now, but there is a saying called putting death and then rebirth, if that group of people is always in the dark, I don't know how long it will take to catch them and destroy them, it feels very bad to be stared at all the time, and then it will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, if there is a chance to destroy it in one fell swoop, of course I have to try."

I am the best bait, lure them out, only by luring them out, we can get rid of them, otherwise they will always hide in the dark, I am waiting in the light, they are in the dark, and I have to bother to be vigilant all the time, this kind of day feels very bad, sir, I would rather be in danger at this time, and defeat this group of thieves in one fell swoop, rather than spend a lot of time fighting with them secretly in the future, and I also want to estimate the safety of my family and Zhuangzi.

I reckon if their lair were here, they would have wanted my life very much, and if I died, how much trouble would they have? I'll put myself here, I only have 300 guards, I want to see how they get rid of me, if they can't get rid of me, let me wait for reinforcements, then they will die, just right, this opportunity, can also hang out all the unscrupulous people with different intentions, and kill them! But don't worry, sir, if I fall into a trap, I will definitely send you out first, and you will not be harmed. ”

Cui Xiaoyi looked at Suning worriedly and said: "Erlang, the old man is not worried about this, the old man is old, and he can live until now This life is still given by Erlang, the old man is very content, the old man is worried about Erlang, if Erlang has three long and two short, Dalang is fighting all the year round, and he does not know how to be cold and warm, the situation that Erlang has worked so hard to create is likely to be ruined, the two little masters are still young, without their father, this family, there will be no pillars."

The reason why those people in Chang'an didn't dare to do anything to the Su family was not because they were afraid of Da Lang, but because they were afraid of you, Erlang! If something happens to Erlang, soon, those Xiaoxiao people who are intimidated by Erlang will attack him in groups, and it is not certain whether the Marquis of Sanyuan Mansion can be saved, even if there are other people to protect him? Isn't Erlang a successor? Erlang, you are still young, you must cherish yourself! ”

Suning was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and sat down in his chair. He sighed and said, "Sir, the reason why I have been able to get to this position today. It's not all about the head, but also the guts, think about it, as for the five hundred people, in the face of 30,000 Turkic iron horsemen, I dare to set fire to the mountain and destroy them, I can't do it with brains alone, I have less than 2,000 people, but I still dare to plot against Ashina. Directly kill the Khan of the Wild Leaf Protection, and let Ashina Ni ascend to the position of Khan, even if you have a brain, you can't do it.

From ancient times to the present, all those who can achieve great things, brains, courage, and luck are indispensable, I have come to this day, if I only rely on my mind, I am afraid that a stray arrow can kill me, Pang Shiyuan is known as a phoenix, and he was killed by a stray arrow not long after he came out of the mountain. That is, there is no luck, Zhuge Kongming does not use the strategy of Wei Yan Meridian Valley, and he counts Qishan without great achievements, which is not courageous. None of them made a big deal.

I have come all the way to today, from a humble person to today, relying on more than just my head. Sir, if you don't have the guts to do so. Without a little luck, how did I get to where I am today? Those great powers in the court. Since I dare to sit here and wait for them to come, I am ready to fight with them to fight for luck and character, and see who can get the favor of God more. ”

Cui Xiaoyi was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed and sat down next to Suning: "How can the old man fall in love with such a nonsense person as you, if others are like you, they don't know how many times they have died, you have lived until now, you are rich and rich, and you don't know how to stop, if it becomes a big thing again this time, then the old man really wants to ask the sky, is God blind, and gave you all the luck of the whole world!" ”

Suning laughed: "Sir's words are wonderful, wonderful!" At that time, by the way, help me ask God if God is still going to give me decades of luck, this thing will be gone when it runs out, and it should be unlucky, then I should retreat bravely and go home to retire, but I can't occupy the position of the court and not move, there will be many people who are unhappy, well, when the time comes, hide in the military university, then it will be safe, hahahaha! ”

Cui Xiaoyi couldn't help shaking his head: "There is a person like Erlang in the world, but he can still make the old man die, alas, Erlang, the old man will not leave, just stay by your side, see if your luck can protect the old man, let the old man get rid of the light together, if you don't die this time, the old man will build a shrine for you when he goes home, set up a tablet, and burn incense and worship every day!" ”

Suning smiled even more, and kept saying that Cui Xiaoyi's move was very wonderful, how many people died and couldn't receive incense, and when he was alive, someone would burn incense for him, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Hahahahaha!

When the two of them were the same, suddenly a guard came to report that someone asked to see, it seemed that he was very anxious, and it seemed that there was really an emergency, which made Suning and Cui Xiaoyi a little unclear, but since this was the case, Suning was still willing to see him, waved his hand to let him in, after a body search, a thin man dressed as a literati walked in, looking very eager, it seemed that there was something important to do, Suning had already asked Cui Xiaoyi to hide behind the screen, and he sat in front to receive this person.

"Xiaguan Wang Hongzhi has seen Su Hou, Su Hou, Xia Guan has something very important to report to Su Hou." The official who identified himself as Wang Hongzhi saluted Suning.

Suning was stunned for a moment, and asked very strangely: "Wang Hongzhi?" Who is it, Ben Hou has never seen you, and he has never heard of an official named Wang Hongzhi in the court. ”

As soon as Suning finished speaking, the four guards guarding Suning's side immediately pulled out their waist knives and protected them in front of Suning, startling Wang Hongzhi, covering his head with both hands and shouting: "Su Hou spare his life, Su Hou spare his life, Xia Guan is not an official in the court, so Su Hou doesn't know the identity of Xia Guan, and he has never heard of Xia Guan, but Xia Guan really doesn't want to harm Su Hou, Xia Guan has something important to report!" ”

Suning waved his hand, the four guards put away the waist knife, Wang Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and Suning then asked: "Get up, say, who are you, what are you here for, why do you want to see Benhou?" ”

Wang Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said: "Su Hou, it is normal that Su Hou has not heard of the name of the lower official, the lower official is not in Chang'an, nor is he an official of the imperial court, but an official of the Jing Wang's Mansion, a subordinate official of King Jing, who has always been in Xiangyang, so it is normal that Su Hou has not heard of the order of the lower official." ”

Suning frowned and said, "King Jing? Are you a subordinate official of King Jing? ”

Wang Hongzhi nodded and said, "This is an official card, and I ask Su Hou to inspect it." ”

Suning took the official card and looked at it, and then nodded slightly: "It is indeed the mark of King Jing's mansion, but Ben Hou and King Jing have no contact, nor do they have any friendship, why did King Jing send you to find Ben Hou?" Decent things are not managed by Benhou, this kind of thing should go to Jingzhou Thorn History. ”

Wang Hongzhi shook his head, clenched his fists, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and gritted his teeth and said: "Xia Guan was not sent by King Jing, but from Langya!" ”

Suning frowned, and then showed a look of surprise: "Langya? Your surname is Wang, Langya Wang? (To be continued......)
