When Li Dunian hurriedly walked through the long street, he saw the street vendors closing their stalls one after another, and the panicked scene seemed to be a wolf chasing after his buttocks.

Li Dunian looked left and right, only to find that the sky had changed at some point, and it was going to rain.

The hot summer is the most prone to heavy rain, and looking at the clouds overhead, there must be a heavy rain.

Let's have a heavy rain—he had a vague glimmer of anticipation in his heart.

Ever since he heard the news of Bai Feng's accident, there was a fire in his heart, burning day and night, burning his whole body almost in a mess, and he urgently needed a rainstorm to split his head.

"Lord Supervisor Li, the chamberlain said that His Majesty summoned you to meet quickly, let's go quickly, this is too late in case Your Majesty is surprised. A personal soldier who followed behind him saw Li Dunian's slow footsteps and hurriedly reminded him.

Li Dunian looked up at the changing clouds in the heights, "What's the hurry, people are in a hurry in this life, and in the end, it's not all about death, wait until you finish watching this rain and then go-"

The soldiers were very surprised, and secretly looked at Li Dunian's face, what is wrong with Lord Li, he has always been a very punctual and diligent person, and he repeatedly said during the training in the military camp that the first important thing for a soldier to eat food is punctuality, why did he himself drag on time today?

The rain overhead came as soon as it was said, and before they could finish the long street, as a few scorched thunderbolts slashed by, a few lightning bolts struck, and the torrential rain poured down.

The soldiers hurriedly ran to the nearby streets and alleys, regretting that they did not have tools to protect themselves from the rain. But Li Dunian didn't run, he walked slowly, as if the rainstorm was a scenery, and he was appreciating it.

"My lord, let's take shelter, it's raining too much—" shouted the soldier.

Li Dunian ignored it and walked towards the rain, and in a blink of an eye, a curtain of white flowers came in front of him, but in an instant, large hailstones fell down.

The pro-soldiers were smashed, and stood stupidly looking at Li Dunian.

Li Dunian was very sober, looking up, the egg-sized hail crackled and smashed him, he didn't hide, didn't dodge, looked stupidly.

The hail came violently, and soon the ground was covered with a layer of white.

The trees on the side of the road were crackled, the leaves and branches were smashed to pieces, and a layer of green leaves was laid on the ground.

"A big disaster-" Li Dunian stretched his neck, "The crops, fruits and vegetables that have just been headed, flowered, and set fruit are all over, God will not bless my Dongliang people—I don't know how many people will starve." ”

Seeing that there was less hail, the soldiers hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Li Dunian's arm, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, they were stopped, and Li Dunian found that he was drenched in water all over his body, and he had already become a chicken in soup.

didn't bring a change of clothes with him, and the soldiers picked up his front and back plackets and twisted them, as well as the cuffs and hair, and a lot of water was unscrewed. Seeing that it was almost done, I entered the palace.

Li Dunian saw Emperor Zhengxi standing at the door of the main hall in a daze, looking up at the sky and watching the rain.

Li Dunian walked over without hurry, slowly knelt on the rain-soaked ground, and kowtowed: "Knock to see Your Majesty." ”

His Majesty didn't look at Li Dunian and was immersed in his own thoughts.

He didn't say flat body, Li Dunian naturally couldn't get up, the monarch and the ministers just stood like this, the other knelt, His Majesty admired the rain line that was sliding brightly from the heights, Li Dunian looked at the rain drained along the tiles at the height of the hall in front of him, and the rain fell on the dripping stone under the eaves, making a dingdong sound. The sound is like a concerto, nice and pleasant.

The emperor's gaze finally fell from the heights, but he still did not fall to Li Dunian, but stared at the drainage pipes in the lower places.

The rain first fell from a high place to the roof of the main hall, and then poured down along the thick spit faucets on both sides, and then merged into the low place, only to see dozens of jade dragon heads around the whole hall like an old dragon who had drunk enough water, spitting out rain. Then it drains into the dark, and flows out of the cistern and the moat outside the palace.

The drainage system in the inner garden of the Imperial Palace is naturally the best in Kyoto, and the rain that pours down fills the normally empty pipes, and the sound of falling water is high and low, as if a magnificent ensemble is being staged between heaven and earth.

Li Dunian's originally soaked whole body was full of water again.

Although it was a hot summer in June, I still felt a chill hit my spine.

The hail finally stopped, but the fine raindrops were still falling.

Emperor Zhengxi slowly turned his gaze in the drizzle and looked at Li Dunian in the rain.

Li Dunian felt that every drop of rain hit his face and head was a knife and an arrow, piercing his body with a thousand swords.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows.

At this moment, he finally realized this feeling of being thorned in the back.

"Li Du Nian Aiqing—this rainstorm is not at the right time—" The emperor suddenly spoke.

Li Dunian listened quietly, and hurriedly announced that he had entered the palace, just to sigh at the rain?

Naturally not, this is just a prelude to a difficult conversation.

The hail stopped, the rain stopped, but the thunder didn't go far, and it exploded overhead.

"Your Majesty, enter the hall, this thunder is too loud, don't alarm you-" The little chamberlain reminded behind him.

The emperor looked back, his eyes were sharp, where had the little chamberlain seen such a look of cannibalism, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and he didn't dare to come forward to rap again.

"Li Aiqing, Bai Feng Bai Lao General, that is, Bai Shuai, who was known to everyone in the Eastern Liang Kingdom back then, what do you think should be done about this person?"

Li Dunian slowly raised his head and looked at Zhengxi's eyes calmly, but did not speak.

"What I mean, is that you have followed Bai Feng on the march for many years, it can be said that he has personally cultivated and promoted, for his behavior, such as serving the country, being loyal to the monarch, and getting along with you in the army every day, all of this, no matter what kind of thing, you see it in your eyes, you are most familiar, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Li Dunian's eyes flashed with a light of resentment, "Back to Your Majesty, Old General Bai loves soldiers like a son, and he is very caring and sympathetic to each of us. ”

Zhengxi was stunned, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his calm face.

But he quickly suppressed it.

On the contrary, he smiled lightly, "Bai Feng loves soldiers like a son, not only is he good at arranging troops and often winning battles, but he is also good at selecting and cultivating talents. Bai Feng, Old General Bai, Bai Shuai, the founding marshal of Dongliang Kingdom, has really made an immortal contribution to our Dongliang foundation through the ages——"

Li Dunian didn't dare to echo this sudden exclamation.

For he could not fathom the inscrutable mind of this high king.

The rain had stopped, the clouds had broken open, and the dark clouds had been covered with a heavy rain and hail, which had quietly changed their colors, and the sun shone through the cracks in the clouds in the west, and a large piece of light hit the mouth of the cloud, and the clouds were gilded with a large amount of gold, and it looked incomparably brilliant and magnificent.

The kings and ministers all looked up at that scene.

"The sunshine after the storm is the real sunshine—what does God mean by this, first a punishment, and then a smile on my face, is this to reproach me for being short-sighted, dumb, and blinded by traitorous ministers all these years, so that I have wrongly blamed the true loyal ministers?" Emperor Zhengxi muttered to himself.

Li Dunian didn't dare to speak, and insisted on kneeling.

"Get up--I knelt in the rain for half a day, go back and ask the barracks to boil a bowl of ginger soup and drink it while it's hot, don't leave the root of the disease behind-alas, Bai Feng Lao Aiqing, I heard that he fell into the old cold disease on the march on a snowy day, and he has been in pain for more than ten years in seclusion in the countryside, but it's a pity that I knew it late, otherwise I would definitely take him into Beijing and ask the imperial doctor to treat him well-"

Li Dunian still didn't dare to comment, he stood up silently, and suddenly rain flowed down his trouser legs.

"Go back - prepare to prepare, tomorrow I will discuss with the ministers, and I will send you out on an expedition to fight Baisha and Huangshui - according to the latest information from the secret agent, Baisha and Huangshui have joined forces to gather 80,000 iron horsemen, and Luoluo is in command, vowing to level the western border of Dongliang in one fell swoop, and recapture the 1,000 acres of grassland and nine important passes that were lost in the early years. You go back first and come up with a strategy for the westward expedition. ”

Li Dunian had been stunned, but when he heard this, he suddenly had a thrill, "Eighty thousand iron horses?"

"Yes, since nineteen years ago, Dongliang and Baisha were shot off the horse by Bai Feng's arrows in the final battle, and lost an ear, he was honest when he fell, I didn't expect him to come out of the mountain again after so long, I must have heard that my Dongliang old handsome Bai Feng was dead, so I thought I had an opportunity, so I came to provoke again. ”

Li Dunian arched his hand: "Your Majesty, he is not easy to fight, he is the best at using soldiers, he was already superb, nineteen years ago, and now it is estimated that he is getting older and stronger, and we can't go out without 100,000 horses." ”

"Do you want to take away half of the family in the camp in Beijing? What about Kyoto? Who will protect the safety of my palace? Don't forget that the east and north are full of fierce eyes, and the army of Moro in the southwest has not retreated, so I have to think about it all. ”

"Your Majesty—" Li Dunian suddenly knelt down again, his hair and clothes dripping.

"Weichen dared to say something that should not be said at the risk of death. Now the country is in danger, it is the time to employ people, and thousands of troops are easy to get a general is hard to find, the best person to deal with him is the old general Bai Feng, now the old general has passed away, it is estimated that those who follow the old general are still trapped in the mountains of the great realm, life is naturally difficult, why not your majesty call them back, as the vanguard of Dongliang to meet the Xisha barren water, Weichen knows that among them are the veterans under the old general Bai back then, and the second general of Fengyun is the left and right arm of the old general Bai, who has personally experienced thousands of wars and is familiar with the western environment, and can be said to be the person who knows the Xisha barren water country and Luoluo's way of fighting in addition to Bai Feng。 With them, Weichen has the confidence to go on the expedition. ”

At this time, Liu Changhuan came with a mink coat in his hand, he was afraid that His Majesty would be cold after the rain, and he wanted to add clothes for His Majesty in time.

He heard Li Dunian's words.

Liu Changhuan didn't dare to go any further, standing still and playing the drum in his heart.

Li Dunian is too reckless, how can he suddenly mention those people, those old departments who were taken out by Bai Feng to wander in the Dajie Mountain, it is said that they have become rogue thieves, specializing in opposing the imperial court, robbing houses everywhere, often harassing Qin Jian's troops, and also surrendering to the Moro army to become a traitor, doing all the bad things, Qin Jian's twists and turns do not mention them once, every time he is begging His Majesty for reinforcements, he wants to resist the Moro army while drawing people to exterminate the gang of disasters.

How could Li Dunian say good things about those people? He also said that he would be included in the army for reuse?

Doesn't this provoke His Majesty's wrath?

You must know that during this time, His Majesty was most distressed, in addition to the attack of the Moro Kingdom in the southwest, followed by Bai Feng's person. It's a minefield, and whoever mentions it will turn his face with whomever it says.

Li Dunian ate bear heart leopard gall today?

His Majesty didn't speak, and stared straight at Li Dunian.

Liu Changhuan felt that His Majesty's gaze could simply kill people.

He didn't dare to send the big one, he appeared at this moment and hit the knife edge, he was not a fool, and he was not tired of it.

Liu Changhuan quietly stepped back.

"Take it—" His Majesty suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Changhuan.

Liu Changhuan's legs were weak.

He hurriedly sent it with a big fart.

Emperor Zhengxi took it, shook it off, and actually put it on Li Dunian's shoulder, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull Li Dunian, "Get up, go back and warm up first, and then think about it, 200,000 Mali, which 50,000 people are you going to pick—I promise you to take the most elite part." As for the people of Dajie Mountain, I should think about it tonight-"

Li Dunian was not surprised, slowly retreated, and walked away in His Majesty's big coat.
