Jinan City, in the middle of the Qincha line, the weeping willow flowers and trees and leaves are all falling, a bleak scene.

In the signing room, Anyuan Marquis Liusheng wore a black leather jacket, pinched the tongs in his hand, and played with the flames in the charcoal basin. The faint blue firelight reflected his face in a dark light, and his expression looked very solemn.

Wei Yuan, who was sitting opposite, also had a solemn face, and the two of them had maintained this posture for half an hour, and they didn't say a word for half an hour. The situation in front of them was very difficult, and they were well aware of the Han king's intention to annex his own troops and make Shandong his own independent kingdom. Such a result is something that neither of them wants to see.

It wasn't until a crisp sound erupted in the charcoal basin that An Yuanhou was clever and said, "We must send troops." ”

"It's not wise to join the war group at this time." Wei Yuan frowned and said: "Helping King Han win this battle is equivalent to giving Shandong to him!" Saying that, Wei Yuan glanced up at Liu Sheng and said, "In that case, we will become sinners of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Hey......" Marquis An Yuan sighed for a long time: "If the old man doesn't send troops, the dead eunuch in Dongchang will dismiss the old man tomorrow, and the result is not the same?" ”

"Hey! Why doesn't the emperor understand, now that the two tigers are fighting, it is a good time for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! Wei Yuan sighed.

"How could the emperor not understand? It's just that the emperor's defense of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince exceeds his attention to the situation in Shandong," Liu Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In the emperor's opinion, the White Lotus Sect is helping the prince to eliminate the King of Han, and if we stand by and watch, we will also be the prince's accomplices." ”

"Aren't the crown prince and the emperor one?" Wei Yuan said angrily: "It's really incomprehensible to guard against Prince Ruosi!" ”

"Hey......" Liu Sheng is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and his understanding of Zhu Di is naturally far beyond Wei Yuan, he knows that this wise and martial emperor, as he gets older, the dragon body is not safe, and the suspicion of the courtiers is getting heavier and heavier.

It's just that these words, just think about it in your heart, and be as cautious as Liu Sheng, naturally you won't say it from your mouth. "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, let's not speculate, let's think about it, how to send troops."

"Hey......" Wei Yuan sighed silently, standing in his position, he naturally didn't want Liu Sheng to send troops at this time and destroy Wang Xian's plan, but he also knew how much pressure Liu Sheng had been with, and now that the emperor sent the great eunuch of Dongchang to Jinan in person, if Marquis An Yuan dared to disobey again, I am afraid that it would be difficult to protect himself. In this situation, how can I force him?

"If you send troops, the old man has two choices." Liu Sheng knew Wei Yuan's disappointment, and said unhurriedly: "First, seize Gaoqing and join the battle of the Han King. The second is to march eastward into Qingzhou and open up another battlefield to cooperate with the actions of the Han king. Although this second plan is different from the emperor's will, it will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted, which is reasonable. ”

"Oh?" Wei Yuanden heard Liu Sheng's overtones, looked at him in surprise and said, "You mean, it's just a feint?" ”

"Of course not," Liu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Since the old man has attacked Qingzhou, there is naturally no reason to attack and not conquer." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "We don't want the Han Wang family to be dominant, but we can't let the White Lotus Sect become big!" ”

When it comes to this, I can't go any further. However, Liu Sheng knew that with Wei Yuan's cleverness, he would definitely be able to comprehend his own meaning.

Wei Yuan really understood what Liu Sheng meant, it was nothing more than to let Wang Xian 'you beat yours, I beat mine', and everyone didn't bother each other. But can it not disturb each other? Once they learned that the nest had been raided, could Tang Tiande and those people still be able to calm down and fight to the death with King Han? Will it turn around and go back to Qingzhou for rescue? How did Wang Xian stabilize the morale of the army and fight a decisive battle with the King of Han?

Questions came to Wei Yuan's mind one after another, but he knew that Liu Sheng had reached the limit - after all, the other party was Zhu Di's courtier, the governor of Shandong of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't be more difficult to be strong for the sake of the court, the emperor and himself.

"Okay." Wei Yuan nodded and said, "I'll make it clear to him." ”

"That's very good." Liu Sheng's expression finally relaxed, and he was about to get up when he dropped the tongs in his hand, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the old family member Liu Chang came to the door and said in a low voice: "Oh no, Master Hou, the people of Dongchang surrounded the family of Uncle Zhongyong!" ”

"What?!" Wei Yuan stood up suddenly, and accidentally kicked the charcoal basin crookedly with his toes, and seven or eight pieces of red charcoal fell, burning the valuable carpet when he landed.

At this time, who could care about the carpet, Liu Sheng took off his leather jacket and threw it casually: "His grandmother's!" The people who cover Lao Tzu dare to take it! He Zhao Ying really thought that this was the capital! As he spoke, he opened his throat and said, "Come on, copy the guys, and save people with Lao Tzu!" ”

"Master Hou stays." Wei Yuan grabbed Liu Sheng and said, "Let's let the lower officials go first!" If the people of Dongchang want to arrest people in Jinan, they have to ask me first, the Shandong envoy! Seeing that Liu Sheng still insisted, Wei Yuan said again: "If I don't succeed, it's not too late for Hou Ye to go out again!" ”

"It's fine." Liu Sheng stroked his beard and thought for a long time, nodded and said, "You go to the water first to see if the dead eunuch is really coming or bluffing!" ”

"Good!" Wei Yuan nodded, and walked out quickly: "Without further ado, the lower official will bring someone over!" ”

"Ride the old man's horse!" Liu Sheng shouted behind him: "If the dead eunuch dares to come hard, you just drag him and wait for the old man to clean him up!" ”

"Good ......" Wei Yuan was gone, and only the voice floated down.

"His grandmother's!" Liu Shenghu lowered his head with a face, only to find that the carpet had already burned, and hurriedly stomped and patted with Liu Chang, and finally extinguished the fire. Marquis Anyuan wiped his mouth casually, and his mouth was full of carbon black, but he didn't realize it, and still said viciously: "Dare to break ground on the head of the grandson, I'm tired of it!" ”。

The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that Lin Qing'er, with her son and the jade musk deer, arrived in Jinan City in September, and when she arrived in Jinan, she learned from Wei Yuan that Wang Xian fell into the gourd valley, and his life and death were unknown. Lin Qing'er spun around for a while, and fainted when she landed, and after waking up, she didn't think about tea and dinner, and felt that the sky was about to fall.

If it weren't for Lingxiao to return to Jinan soon and tell her that Wang Xian was still alive and had not fallen into the hands of the White Lotus Sect or the King of Han, Lin Qing'er would have lost her life in Jinan City.

Seeing that she was already weak, Lingxiao didn't dare to tell her that Gu Xiaolian's life and death were uncertain, only that she was by Wang Xian's side and was trying to avenge her brothers...... Only then did Lin Qing'er start to take some soup again, and then took the pills prescribed by the imperial doctor, so that she could be considered to have returned to her yang spirit.

After that, she took the child to live in Jinan, while recuperating her body, while waiting for Wang Xian's news. Unconsciously summer went to autumn, and autumn went to winter solstice, but I still didn't see Wang Xian's shadow...... Seeing that her body had not been doing well, although Lingxiao was concerned about Wang Xian all the time, she had to stay in Jinan and did not go to Qingzhou with her brother.

On this day, she was in the courtyard, taking three-year-old Wang You to pick persimmons and play. Although Wang Xian is not in Jinan, Liu Sheng and others will definitely not treat his family badly, and allocated Wanzhu Garden, which has the world's first spring 'Baotu Spring', to Lin Qing'er's mother and son to live. This 10,000 bamboo garden is built in the Yuan Dynasty, although the scale can not be compared with Wang Xian's original line, but the exquisite elegance is better, to this early winter season, still the forest is lush, the scenery is secluded, especially the persimmon tree with a lot of fruit in the courtyard, after the first snow, the persimmon on the branch is red like fire, just like a small lantern, provoked Wang You very greedy, clamoring to let his aunt take himself to pick persimmons.

Two or three-year-old children are the most cute, Lingxiao dotes on Wang You very much, so he took his little hand to the bottom of the tree, held his fleshy buttocks, and lifted his arms to hold Wang You high. The little one arrived at the persimmons full of trees, looked at the big chubby and red persimmons in front of him, stretched out his hand to touch this, pinched that, and giggled all over the courtyard.

Lingxiao looked at Wang You dotingly, but there was a faint melancholy between her eyebrows, she knew that the front line had reached a critical moment, and she didn't know what the result would be this time...... In the past, Lingxiao blindly trusted Wang Xian, thinking that nothing in this world could defeat him, but after the battle of Hulu Valley, she realized that Wang Xian was also a mortal, and he would make mistakes, and he would pay a painful price if he made mistakes...... This made her unable to settle down any longer, and her concern for Wang Xian increased day by day, entangled, so that she finally knew what it was......

Lingxiao was distracted, and suddenly heard a noise in the front yard, her brows couldn't help frowning, and she looked at Zhou Yi who came in in a hurry and said, "Who is making noise outside?!" ”

Zhou Yi has always been calm and cautious, Wang Xian praised him for 'Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change color', he was sent to Nanjing by Wang Xian to escort Lin Qing'er into Beijing, which escaped the catastrophe of Hulu Valley. At this moment, Zhou Yi's face was full of anxiety! Seeing Lingxiao asking, he hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the girl, something is wrong, and the people from Dongchang will surround us!" ”

"What?!" Lingxiao withdrew his arm in surprise, hugged Wang You in his arms and said, "What are they going to do?" ”

"Say yes......" Zhou Yi said with some difficulty: "The adult has already collaborated with the enemy, joined the White Lotus Sect, and is suspected of murdering the prince of Han, so I want to arrest the wife and son to interrogate......"

"Nonsense!" When Lingxiao heard this, his eyebrows rose up, and he said angrily: "A group of shameless eunuchs will stab them in the back!" But after all, she was too calm, and after the attack, she calmed down and said to Zhou Yi: "You take someone to stop them first, and I'll go and discuss countermeasures with my sister." ”

After speaking, he hugged Wang You and turned around and left.

Zhou Yi also hurriedly mobilized people to protect the courtyard, in order to protect the safety of Wang Xian's family, Jinyiwei had a team of 100 people, stationed in the west courtyard.
