The spring breeze is blowing, and the triumphant song is returned.

Wang Hongyi divided some horses and asked Fan Liuhai to take the five brothers to go back with him first, and the others slowly walked to the mansion.

Although Fan Liuhai did not say it, he did not deny what Wang Hongyi said about colluding with foreign thieves, and Wang Hongyi knew that the matter was very urgent, so the sky was still bright and he set off.

Unlike yesterday, I was looking all the way, but now I can go back directly, and when it was close to noon, I returned to Wenyang Mansion.

As soon as he returned, Wang Hongyi issued an order, asking the mansion to rectify the banquet, and immediately ordered Changding Mansion and Luchuan County to be on guard against Du Gongzhen's possible attack.

and strengthen reconnaissance of Taisu County.

But at this moment, a person said: "General, there is a person outside, named Zhang Yuzhi, who asks to see him with a letter. ”

Wang Hongyi galloped for half a day yesterday, did not sleep well at night, and came back from Mercedes for half a day in the morning, very tired at this time, listened to this, instinctively wanted to refuse, but only then wanted to speak, suddenly remembered who this person was, and suddenly stood up again, and said: "It turned out that this person took refuge in me, no wonder I was stable." ”

Immediately he said, "I personally went out to greet him, where is he now?"

"It's in the side hall!"

"Take me!" Wang Hongyi said.

The attendant had to take him with him, and walked along the corridor of the corridor for a while, and came to a side hall where there was an intermittent sound of conversation, and pushed the door up, and saw a small official talking with one of them.

Wang Hongyi went in and smiled before saying a word: "This is Mr. Zhang, he came from afar, and it was a mistake that this town failed to meet him from afar!"

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, and he saw that this son was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, wearing half-worn clogs under his feet, with a delicate face, with pupils like black jewels.

Wang Hongyi couldn't help but think in his heart: "I haven't seen this person much in my previous life, but my demeanor is really different." ”

Zhang Youzhi also hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "The student doesn't dare, you are General Dingyuan, right?"

Speaking and concentrating, I saw that the young man in front of him was younger than himself, but under the two pitch-black eyebrows, his eyes flashed, so that people did not dare to face it, naturally he was majestic, and his heart jumped, this person was General Dingyuan.

At that moment, the two of them greeted each other and sat down separately, and Wang Hongyi said first: "This town wrote a letter last month, just looking forward to Mr. coming, and now he sees it, he is really overjoyed, is Mr. here to give in?"

Zhang Youzhi smiled, this is still the young general really can't wait, but he is also grateful for the thirst for talent, and he should respond at the moment: "Yes, the general is heroic, I am willing to be vassal." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang is a great talent, but unfortunately, the law has its own rules, so let's do it, Mr. Qu will take the position of Ru Linlang, and he will be nearby, how about it?"

Ru Linlang is the ninth grade, and he has this position as soon as he comes in, and he already values it very much.

Zhang Youzhi listened and knelt down: "The minister respectfully accepts the order to meet the lord." ”

Things went so smoothly that Wang Hongyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "It happened that you came today, I went a hundred miles last night and received a general, you can get close." ”

He turned his head and ordered the left and right records to say: "Secretary Lang Yu Zhao has worked hard and made great achievements, and he has been promoted from the seventh grade Xuande Lang, Yu Liang and erudite, and promoted to Ru Linlang." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yuzhi seemed to have an understanding, knowing that the old people had not been directly promoted to Ru Linlang, and this time he promoted himself, for fear of affecting the relationship, so he hereby promoted him and thanked him in his heart.

At this time, someone announced: "General, the banquet is ready." ”

Wang Hongyi said with a smile: "I have already ordered to go down, prepare the official uniform and seal the letter, and I am already at home, and after our banquet, it must be completed, sir, please." ”

"The lord pleases first!" Since the status of the monarch and the minister has been decided, there is naturally etiquette, Zhang Youzhi took two steps back, please.

Wang Hongyi smiled and went out first, at this time, a wind blew in, and the air was filled with water, wet, it was the smell of the spring breeze, and both of them were in good spirits.

At this time, there was a light rain outside, and the entourage who was waiting outside held up the oil umbrella respectively, and Wang Hongyi also changed into clogs, and came out from the front, in the rainy sky, Wang Hongyi walked under the rain and walked along the corridor.

Zhang Youzhi followed, stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "It really has the posture of a dragon walking a tiger." ”

In the evening, a middle-aged man, decorated by a businessman, rode on a horse on the road from Wenyang Mansion to Taisu County.

It was still cold in March, but there was already sweat on his head, and the horse under the seat was panting, and he was extremely tired.

When he finally came to the county seat of Taisu County, a high-class horse was already tired and almost collapsed, but he didn't care about this, and hurriedly came to the door of Li's house.

At this time, there were a few people standing at the door of Li's house, including guards, and two or three idle family members, who were chatting lively.

He led the horse forward, glanced at it coldly, and only said, "You are waiting for leisure." ”

"Ah, it turned out that Steward Xiao was back!" The people at the door knew him, and when they saw him say this, they all smiled embarrassedly.

Someone took the reins from his hand and washed and fed the horses on his behalf. The rest greeted him.

It can be seen that Steward Xiao is usually very popular.

"Steward Xiao, where have you been, why are you so embarrassed?" Seeing his tired face, a family member asked.

Usually a person who treats people mildly, but at this time he has changed his face, Steward Xiao looked this person up and down a few times, and said coldly: "There are some things that you shouldn't know, so don't ask." Remember, the less you know, the longer you can live. ”

The expression was cold and frightening, and the person who was warned was suddenly startled, bowed and said, "Yes, the little one remembers." ”

Seeing that Steward Xiao walked quickly inside, and he was already far away, this person Fang and his companion said: "Cut, what's the big deal, isn't it just that you go out often, and you are not an ordinary steward in the house, what is arrogant?"

"Lao Sai, you have not been in the mansion for a few years, I don't know the details of this person, he is not the ordinary steward you think, this person is the old man's henchman, a smiling tiger, stay away from him in the future, don't cause trouble. ”

Seeing that he was very depressed, an insider suddenly was kind, pulled his sleeve, and whispered a reminder.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lao Sai watched Steward Xiao leave the direction, and a thoughtful expression suddenly flashed on his face.

The person who was talked about by them, but he had no time to pay attention to other people's opinions, and was walking quickly towards Li Cunyi's study, and happened to meet Li Chengye on the way.

"Steward Xiao?" Li Chengye looked at the person in front of him, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, calling the other party. "You've just returned from outside?"

"Yes, Childe. Steward Xiao arched his hand and replied.

"But what news is coming back?" Li Chengye asked with a smile as he stared into his eyes.

The gentle attitude and graceful demeanor are indeed convincing, but for Steward Xiao, it is useless.

Steward Xiao said without changing his face: "Childe, I did find out the news, and I was about to return to the master, if Childe has nothing else, Steward Xiao will leave in advance." ”

As he spoke, he saluted Li Chengye again, and walked quickly to Li Cunyi's study.

For such people who do not enter the smoke, Li Chengye had a moment of displeasure on his face. Then he held back.

Since Zhou Zhu's tragic death and Fan Liuhai's departure, Li Chengye's power in the Li family has not been as good as before, although there are some manpower to drive, but he is quite powerless.

These things made Li Chengye a little gloomy.

"Is it only loyal to my father? It's just that in the past, this person will also give me a little thin face, why is he so alienated from me this time?" Li Chengye has always been sensitive to this, and he can feel it in a few words.

Looking at the direction in which the other party left, Li Chengye pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked towards his courtyard.

"Steward Xiao, can you investigate this matter clearly?" In Li Cunyi's study, the middle-aged family owner, who had always been calm, had a blue face at this time.

He walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Steward Xiao: "You can see clearly, that person...... Is it really Fan Liuhai?"

"Lord, the little one can see it very clearly, that person is indeed Fan Yingzheng. Steward Xiao replied affirmatively.

Li Cunyi frowned and said angrily: "He is no longer the camp of Taisu County now." ”

"A small slip of the tongue, please forgive me. Seeing that Li Cunyi was unhappy, Steward Xiao was busy admitting his mistake.

Li Cunyi waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business...... I really didn't expect that he really took refuge in the Wang family, originally thought that he was just leaving Taisu County, but he didn't want to betray. ”

Fan Liuhai once held an important official position in the Li family, such a person, participated in the core meeting several times, and ran to Wang Hongyi, but he was afraid that many things in the Li family were no longer a secret.

Once Wang Hongyi knew about it, he was afraid that the Li family would immediately overturn, and in the blink of an eye, a sense of crisis enveloped his whole body.

But if you really know, there should be soldiers coming to the door now, why is there no movement?

Li Cunyi thought secretly, thinking of Fan Liuhai's personality, it seems that he is not a traitor, hasn't he explained it yet?

Even if he didn't say it, the Li family was not guaranteed, thinking that this person was Li Chengye's confidant, Li Cunyi was furious in his heart.

It's another big disaster for this kid!

At this time, Li Cunyi couldn't help but be angry in his heart, but he didn't want these disagreements between father and son to arise after he forcibly killed Zhou Zhu last time, but at this time, he was becoming more and more dissatisfied with his former beloved son.

The two young sons who are far away in Jiangnan will write back from time to time, which makes them gradually feel good.

Perhaps, as long as he survives this period of time, he should reconsider the matter of the heir, this thought, only a turn, was temporarily suppressed, and now the situation is urgent, and he cannot think about other things.

"Steward Xiao, you go down first, it's hard for you to go back and forth this time. Go to the account and get a few taels of silver, and go home to see your wife by the way. Facing the henchmen in front of him, Li Cunyi was very calm and showed no traces.

"Thank you for the reward!" Hearing that not only can you receive the reward, but you can also go home to visit relatives, Steward Xiao kowtowed very happily and thanked him, and then went out.
