Chapter 588: Hold your ground

Chao Yan smiled: "That's still fake, he is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Zhu Xiang's main door, don't underestimate him!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xu An, but also Lord Li's face changed a little.

Master Li's face suddenly had some impatience, and he waved his hand and said, "Even if you are the person under the main sect of Zhu Xiang, I don't know what to do?" ”

Xu Anxin was afraid that Lord Zhu Xiang's order to hunt and kill him would reach the ears of Lord Li, so he was a little discouraged in his heart, and secretly blamed that Chao Yan for being too talkative, ruining his big business, and maybe he would be buried here, but he didn't want Lord Li to seem to be unheard of about this matter, and he still had a trace of dissatisfaction with Lord Zhu Xiang.

Xu An hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The subordinate is a small captain under the main sect of Zhu Xiang, why bother?" I heard that the adults are highly respected, so I was fortunate to be able to appreciate the demeanor of the adults under the recommendation of Miss Chaoyan, and I have no regrets in this life. ”

If you pat yourself on the back, you will be very happy with this Lord Li, and the impatience on your face will also dissipate.

Xu An lowered his eyes and swept a touch of pride.

Who is he Xu An? Since he was a child, he has survived this sect strife, and this kind of thing of looking at people's faces and slapping horses is not easy to catch as long as he wants to.

It's just that he doesn't bother to do it.

Master Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, I will assist Elder Keqing to keep an eye on Yan for a few days, and in a few days, I will naturally arrange a position suitable for your strength." Zhu Xiang's side, there is no need to go back. is just a master of incense, but he is just a defeated soldier of the old man! ”

The arrogance of these words made even Xu An a little admired - if it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was also a demon who did a lot of evil and killed people without blinking.

That Chaoyan and Master Li had a few words, and Lord Li went.

When Xu An looked at Chaoyan again, he felt a little indescribable.

This woman was graceful and brilliant in front of him; But in front of Lord Li, he is smiling, lively and smart; The two of them looked like father and daughter......

As soon as this thought came out, Xu An was startled, he was suddenly curious about Chao Yan's life experience, and asked:

"Chaoyan, are you the guest elder under Master Li?"

Chao Yan was casually sitting at the table "admiring" the cup of tea, and when she saw Xu An asking her, although it was all boring questions, she still replied: "At that time, the old guy wanted me to do it...... Hey, what kind of position is that, anyway, it's specifically for him to threaten others, I don't want to be trapped in the Peony Sect for the rest of my life, so I agreed to only be a guest elder, and I can leave at any time. ”

Xu An: "...... You're so special. ”

That Chaoyan didn't answer, and only looked at the teacup and teapot. Seeing that the other party ignored him, Xu An gave up his plan to ask for more, so he had to change the topic cheekily and said, "When are we going to Laifu Inn?" ”

Chao Yan put down the teacup and became rare and serious: "Go now?" ”

Just as Xu Anxin wanted, he was about to go to see if Ruan Di had contacted the people of the imperial court, so he stood up and wanted to leave, turning his head to look at Chaoyan, but the other party not only had no intention of getting up, but also kept staring at him and laughing, it was a mockery.

Xu An was inexplicable, and he felt that his face was hot, and he secretly scolded Chaoyan in his heart, he had only been in office for one day, so he instructed him to do hard work.

Thinking in his heart, his footsteps never stopped, and he went all the way to the Laifu Inn.

Kyocaka.

"Your Majesty, someone from Dongwu has sent news back!"

A figure emerged from the shadows, hands forward, handing over a letter, bowing to report.

The emperor nodded, and the man opened the letter and whispered:

"The ins and outs of the Soochow flood have been roughly investigated. The minister thought that Zhang Yi, the eldest prince of Changping County in Eastern Wu, deliberately destroyed the dam secretly, but he lived behind the scenes, making his younger brother Zhang Lin the target of the investigation, and secretly colluded with the Peony Sect to occupy Eastern Wu and commit chaos. During this period, the silver grain and grass allocated by the imperial court have been privately owned by Zhang Yi to recruit troops and horses. ”

The man paused, and then continued: "The Eastern Wu Peony Sect has formed its own faction, and it is very rampant. There is an official surnamed Zhu and an official surnamed Li in Beijing, both of whom are figures in important positions in the DPRK and China, and they are also inseparable from the Peony Sect. ”

After reading it in one breath, the spy swallowed his saliva, and secretly wondered in his heart, I don't know who this letter is, and his speech is mixed with words, and it is a little difficult to read.

The emperor's face stiffened, waved his hand, and sent the spies who delivered the letter away, he didn't expect that there would be such a bold fanatic in Changping, Dongwu, who would dare to collude with the Peony Sect, commit rebellion, embezzle silver, and destroy the dam!

It's a sin that deserves death.

He snorted coldly, and then asked people to inform him to go to the military aircraft department to discuss the matter.

Ruan Tao is naturally among them.

"A few Aiqing take a look first, this is news sent by Soochow."

As soon as the emperor stepped into the military plane, several Shangshu were already waiting there, as well as Deng Wenchao, the general of the border who had just returned to the dynasty a few days ago.

Those people circulated them one by one, and their faces all showed shock.

"What does Ruan Aiqing think?"

The emperor sat on the lacquered dragon chair in the middle, and the anger on his face did not subside.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should first stand still, observe for a while, and then make a decision."

Ruan Tao replied cautiously.

In fact, he didn't want the emperor to send troops to attack Dongwu and build a dam, so that Ruan Di could go back as soon as possible and see his dragon and phoenix fetus.

Ruan Di has been away from home for more than two months, during which Ruan Tao often worries about Ruan Di's safety, and Soochow rarely sends back news, Ruan Tao does not have a clear concept of Ruan Di's environment.

No one expected that behind the "accident" of the collapse of a small dam in Soochow, there were a series of major cases such as the Peony Sect interfering in politics, official corruption, and cholera.

The emperor thought for a moment, and then looked at Deng Wenchao on the side.

"What does General Deng think?"

Although General Deng is only twenty-six, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and at this time, the northwest town guard has just ended, and the squad has returned to the court for half a month.

When Deng Wenchao saw it, he said: "The minister thinks that it is really the best policy to press the soldiers." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ruan Tao, and did not hide the provocation and disdain in his eyes: "At this moment, there are signs of rebellion in Changping, Eastern Wu, and it should be suppressed as soon as possible. If you really follow what Lord Ruan said, stand still and observe for a period of time, then there is no intention to raise tigers, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

As soon as the words fell, several scholars from the Military Aircraft Department all looked sideways at the young man, and the admiration in their eyes was self-evident.

The emperor seemed to be very satisfied, and said: "It is worthy of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!" I have heard that General Deng is brave and good at fighting, can you let everyone in the DPRK and China see the demeanor on the battlefield? ”

As soon as the Son of Heaven said this, all four were shocked.

Even the strong-blooded Deng Wenchao was a little surprised, he just couldn't get used to seeing Ruan Tao and the others cowering, so he said wildly, but he didn't expect His Majesty to misunderstand what he meant.
