She heard Mama Li say that He Guanglie had a hot temper, and it didn't count as whipping her with a whip when Wei's was away, and beating her with a stick when she was younger.

Wei sighed and nodded He Linwan's forehead: "You!" Wei's tone was a little helpless, but there was no anger.

Seeing Wei like this, He Linwan felt a little guilty: "Mother, I'm sorry." I was the one who got my father involved. ”

Wei touched He Linwan's head, and then took her and Xiaohuzi's hands and walked towards the West Chamber: "No, I know your father." Even if you don't intervene in this matter, he will still be involved in the end, or he is already doomed to be unable to escape when he met Gongsun Xian. So it has nothing to do with you. He's a man, why should you be responsible for his own decisions?"

He Linwan's heart warmed when she heard this, she didn't know what to say to respond to Wei's tenderness and love, and after thinking for a long time, she assured Wei a little dryly: "Don't worry, my father will be fine." ”

After He Linwan returned to the study in the West Chamber, he wrote a text message and immediately sent it to He'antang Pharmacy.

The fifth prince and Xue Xingyi also had a conversation after returning from the He family.

The fifth prince asked Xue Xingyi, "What do you think of He Guanglie?"

Xue Xingyi commented pertinently: "He is skilled in the art of war, brave and good at fighting, and his reputation in the army is on par with Gongsun Xian." ”

The fifth prince smiled slightly: "Everywhere is no worse than Gongsun Xian, but he is pressed by Gongsun Xian everywhere, just because he is not surnamed Gongsun, do you think he will be dissatisfied in his heart? I heard that he and Gongsun Xian have had-for-tat confrontation several times?"

Xue Xingyi was silent for a moment. Then he said lightly: "I don't know what their relationship is in private, but He Guanglie has served under the old general Gongsun for many years, and he has some love for the Gongsun family. ”

When the fifth prince heard this, he laughed and said disapprerovingly: "Zixu, although you are smart, you are still a little short of the heat in figuring out people's hearts! Who will take into account the friendship of incense when grabbing credit? The world does not suffer from poverty but suffers from unevenness, obviously it is his He Guanglie's merit but it was robbed by Gongsun Xian, or it is obviously the merit of two people but it is monopolized by Gongsun Xian, even if he He Guanglie is a saint, he will be resentful!"

Speaking of this, the fifth prince smiled again: "So just now He Guanglie said that Gongsun Xianyou sent someone to ask him for help, I believe it, but He Guanglie was really trapped in the battlefield at that time, and it was difficult to say whether he cared about it or deliberately ignored it." ”

"What His Highness said is extremely true!" Xue Xingyi did not refute when he heard this, but only said with a calm expression. After a pause, he asked. "Your Highness wants to use the old people of Dengzhou Wei?"

The fifth prince said helplessly: "I would like to use someone else, but where is Dengzhou Wei so easy to be commanded by others? When I came, my father and emperor had an explanation, and I could choose one or two of Dengzhou Wei's generals for temporary use." ”

Xue Xingyi thought about it, and still reminded: "He Guanglie is not the only one available in Dengzhou Wei. Li Pengfei and Li's deputy commander may be available. ”

When the fifth prince heard this, he was silent.

Xue Xingyi understood that the fifth prince was afraid that he had a dislike with Li Pengfei. I won't mention the matter of Dengzhou Wei anymore.

In his opinion, he had already recommended the five princes in accordance with the emperor's will. As for whether the five princes listen or not, it is not within his scope of responsibility.

After a while, the fifth prince instructed Xue Xingyi again: "That Sun Divine Doctor, you spend some effort and send someone to search carefully, you can find the best." If you can't find it, knock on it more and knock on them later. These old ladies have been in the palace for a long time, and they always like to deliberately say that they can do ten points for five points, so that in the end, if they can't do it, they won't be blamed by their superiors, and they can get more rewards if they do it. ”

Xue Xingyi responded in a low voice.

The fifth prince patted Xue Xingyi's shoulder and said with a smile: "This time, my father specially asked you to help me, and I can only rely on you in the whole of Shandong." Rest assured, I won't treat you badly!"

Xue Xingyi lowered his eyes, and the fifth prince nodded with satisfaction.

Two days later, He Guangzong came to tell He Guanglie the news that the people of the five princes had found Gongsun Xian.

"It was found in a hidden ravine in Qixia Valley, and most of the body was eaten by wild beasts and almost couldn't be distinguished, but several people around Gongsun Xian who were close to him had recognized it separately, and the characteristics of his body were completely consistent with Gongsun Xian, so he was correct. ”

"He Guanglie," who was lying on the bed, had a sad face: "General Gongsun is upright, uses soldiers like a god, and is the target of all officers and men in the army, and even I have to admire him! In addition, he has an outstanding appearance, an outstanding temperament, a majestic and strong shore, and an elegant ...... in conversation."

He Linwanqing, who was waiting for the decoction on the side, coughed.

"He Guanglie" paused, and added the closing remarks unfinished: "...... is the wishful husband in the minds of all women, and I don't know how many women's hearts will be broken by going like this. It's sad and lamentable!"

He Guangzong said suspiciously: "Hasn't the third brother always been at odds with Gongsun Xian?"

He Guanglie glared at He Guangzong: "I don't get along! I cherish heroes and respect heroes! Seeing that he is such a person who stands up to the sky and the earth and dies so miserably in the end, I feel that I am moved!"

He Guangzong nodded and didn't bother with "He Guanglie", he looked at He Linwan and said with a smile: "Ah Wan, the second uncle has something to discuss with your father, can you go down first?"

He Linwan looked at "He Guanglie", "He Guanglie" waved his hand, and said to He Guangzong with a big grin: "Why do you want to drive my daughter away? She is very sensible and will not talk nonsense! Second brother, you don't need to shy away from talking about something!"

He Guangzong thought that He Guanglie was indulging his daughter, and it was difficult to say anything, so he could only shake his head and continued: "The old general Gongsun has passed away, and now Gongsun Xian is also dead, do you know who will take over as the commander of Dengzhou Wei?"

"He Guanglie" said: "The position of the commander of Dengzhou Wei has always been hereditary, and the old general Gongsun Xian only has an only son, and now Gongsun Xian is dead, if you want to succeed the descendants of other Gongsun families, your majesty needs to issue another decree." ”

He Guangzong nodded: "You and I both know that the Gongsun family is afraid that they will not be able to wait for this decree, and I am afraid that the position of commander of Dengzhou Wei will have to fall to others." ”

"He Guanglie" thought for a while: "If Your Majesty wants to send some irrelevant person to take over as the commander of Dengzhou Wei, I am afraid that it will not be good for the current situation, and I can only be promoted from the existing generals of Dengzhou Wei." In addition to Gongsun Xian, the most qualified person in Dengzhou Wei should be Deputy Commander Li, and he was also responsible for the affairs of the Japanese Guard during this time, so I think it was him. ”

He Guangzong muttered: "An incident happened the day before yesterday. ”

He Guanglie was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

He Guangzong said in a low voice: "On our way from the capital to Shandong, we met a group of robbers near Laizhou, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince had already set up a trap to wipe out this gang of robbers, but he didn't want to be robbed by the Dengzhou guards on the way, and finally this credit was robbed by Li Chong, the eldest son of Deputy Commander Li. ”

"Yo, this gall is really fat! Even the prince's merits dare to be robbed! The fifth prince is really unlucky, isn't it just that His Majesty sent him here to let him stand up in the army! What he met was Li Chong, a stunned man. Saying "He Guanglie", he glanced at He Linwan meaningfully.

He Guangzong shook his head: "His Royal Highness personally led people to find Li Chong to ask for someone, but he brought someone back to ask for merit first." The people of the Li family are afraid that they have already offended the five princes. Now it seems that it is only the five princes who are unlucky?"

"He Guanglie" looked at He Guangzong with some suspicion: "Why is the second brother suddenly interested in the matter of Dengzhou Wei?"

He Guangzong said helplessly: "Why do you think I care about this? It's not because of you! Apart from Li Pengfei, who else is available in Dengzhou Weizhong? You haven't noticed the attitude of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince towards you?"

He Guanglie pointed to his nose in surprise: "How is it possible that you say me?"

He Guangzong smiled: "If it was usual, you might still lack some qualifications, but now the situation is special, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are anxious to take back the military power of Shandong, and you stand out in this war, and the right time and place are right for you to take advantage of." ”

"He Guanglie" blinked and stopped talking, as if he hadn't digested the news for a while.

He Guangzong patted "He Guanglie's" hand, got up and said: "Second brother said that these are just a reminder for you, so that you can prepare first, don't think too much, the most important thing now is to take care of your injuries." I've got to go back beforehand, and if there's anything you need help with, send someone to call me. ”

"He Guanglie" nodded absentmindedly, and He Guangzong left.

When he couldn't hear He Guangzong's footsteps, "He Guanglie" rolled his eyes, glanced at He Linwan who was standing aside, and snorted: "Little girl is amazing! What kind of fart is the right time, place, and people? This link is linked, everyone has been calculated by you! Even Lao Tzu has been used by you! Your purpose is to let your father take control of Dengzhou Wei?"

He Linwan heard the anger in Gongsun Xian's tone, and she didn't defend herself, she scooped a spoonful of the medicine that had been put warm and fed it to Gongsun Xian, and said: "Uncle Gongsun, why should you be angry, this is a good thing for you, and it is not harmful for you, besides, for the Gongsun family, it is better for Dengzhou Wei to fall into the hands of my father than in the hands of others, isn't it? ”

Gongsun Xian pursed his lips: "This can't hide the fact that you are using Lao Tzu!"

He Linwan smiled slightly: "Speaking of utilization...... Didn't Uncle Gongsun take advantage of my father? While you put the credit on my father, you also pulled him and the He family into the water. ”

Gongsun Xian choked, and then swallowed the medicine that He Lin had fed in the evening.

He Linwan heard Gongsun Xian's "coo" and swallowed the medicine, and then muttered in a low voice: "Little fox, I don't know who it looks like." ”.
