Chen Shou could clearly feel that the eyes around him were shooting towards him.

He came on behalf of the General's Mansion this time, and this identity is worthy of the attention of others.

As the last feudal official with the power of military and political integration, the Zhengxi General's Mansion is actually equivalent to a feudal town, and I don't know how many people in the court regard it as a thorn in the flesh.

Most of these people are civil servants, and they are afraid that the generals will have power that they cannot control.

Those hostile to the general's mansion in the west are divided into two parts, one is extremely hateful, and they are eager to completely eradicate the general's mansion. Liangzhou would rather be given to foreign tribes than under the control of military generals; There is also the rationalists, who also want to abolish the General's Palace, but they know that now is not the time. Because only the General's Mansion, or only the Li family, can take the Xiliang soldiers to resist the aliens.

Chen Shou didn't care about this, he came today to represent the Li family and accept the emperor's anger.

The old emperor on the dragon couch didn't care about Chen Shou's feelings at all, he just needed Chen Shou to send a message to the general's mansion, saying that these things had nothing to do with the emperor, and His Majesty the emperor was also very angry.

The old emperor didn't have much patience to play with him, and hurriedly waved him to leave.

Walking out of the summer palace as if in a dream, Chen Shou hesitated for a while, do you want to go back to the East Palace? It doesn't make much sense to talk to her, it's just to make her sad again.

And Li Lingyue, who was far away in Liangzhou Mansion, after hearing the news, didn't know what it would be like to be sad, and he couldn't be by her side. Thinking of this, Chen Shou sighed and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, several teenagers in the distance jumped and waved, and Chen Shou looked up and saw that it was Zhang He and Zhao Hong, his second general.

A few days ago, let them find a courtyard to rent, Chen Shou didn't have time to ask, hurriedly quickened his pace, and after getting closer, Zhang He's eyes lit up: "Lord Steward, I heard that Your Majesty has personally summoned you." ”

Chen Shou could understand their excitement, and the face saint was already a great thing for them.

But Chen Shou couldn't get the slightest bit excited, and he said in a low voice: "The eldest prince Li Jin is dead, and his head has been cut off. ”

"Somebody did that!"

Zhao Hong was a little angry, the fathers of these people, under the leadership of the General's Mansion, died on the battlefield, and it was still difficult to change their loyalty to the General's Mansion.

There are these people in Xiliang, and this kind of popularity has been accumulated by the Li family for generations, and it is difficult for the imperial court to cut the domain of the Xiliang General's Mansion.

"Is the yard rented?"

Zhang He nodded and said, "It's on Bamboo Stick Street in the west of the city, not far from the East Palace, and it's convenient for the steward to go out." ”

The two of them took Chen Shou and drove to this small courtyard, although it was not as majestic and luxurious as they had seen in the past few days, but it was also clean and quiet.

The master bedroom is ventilated on both sides, with a cool breeze and a very comfortable feeling.

The furniture and beds were spotless, they should have been sprinkled and swept away, and there were more than a dozen soldiers in the yard, all looking at Chen Shou with blank eyes.

Chen Shou then remembered that he hadn't given money to these soldiers for a long time, they had no livelihood in Bianliang, and the money left for them was probably rented.

Chen Shou hurriedly asked Zhang He to drive and go to the East Palace with him to get a little money and come back to spend.

Chen Shou himself recognized four godfathers, none of whom were short of money, and he had no descendants and nephews, so he was not short of money at all.

After entering the East Palace, Chen Shou came to his dormitory, took out a cloth bag from under the bed, and handed it to Zhang He.

Zhang He weighed it and said, "Steward, so much?" ”

Chen Shou patted him on the shoulder and said, "After you go back, buy some books, ancient scrolls, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, guns, sticks, and stone locks, and take them to temper their bodies, read and write, and don't waste them." The degree of food and clothing, and the monthly profit are all the same as Qin Fengying. ”

Zhang He's eyes were red, and he was extremely moved in his heart, and Zhao Hong on the side also had a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Chen Shou sent them out of the East Palace and returned to the courtyard, and was about to change back into his usual clothes, when there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, it was the spy from the General's Mansion, still dressed in black, and his face no longer had the usual hippie smile, it was a little more solemn.

"The eldest prince is dead."

"I know."

......

Both of them were silent for a moment, and Chen Shou took the initiative to say: "I have the good wine brought by Xiliang, have you eaten it, accompany me for a drink?" ”

The man in black nodded, and the kitchen in Chen Shou District wanted a table of side dishes. He took out a jug of wine from the cupboard and set it up in the bedroom.

"I haven't asked Brother Ren for his name."

"My name is Li Bohao."

Hearing that the other party was also surnamed Li, Chen Shou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Li is also a general's mansion..."

"Distant relatives, speaking of which, I still have to call the eldest prince uncle."

"Your Majesty summoned me today, looking at his words and deeds, and speculating on his motives, I think this matter may have nothing to do with the imperial court."

Li Bohao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "That year, my father took our brother to the General's Mansion to play with the children in the backyard. The eldest prince was a few years older than us, and he was reading a book on the side, and the second lady and I were naughty, playing with fireworks in the house, and set the house on fire, causing a fire. In order to save us, the eldest prince rushed into the room and burned a piece of his leg. Do you believe it, the eldest prince was only twelve years old at that time, and instead of blaming us, he took the initiative to take the sin.

Afterwards, the old handsome's treasured ancient scrolls were burned, and the second lady cried so much that the old man took the whip and whipped him three times. ”

Although Chen Shou knew that Li Jin was generous, he didn't expect him to be like this since he was a child, it seems that he is pure by nature, and he is definitely not deliberately pretentious.

Under the sunlight shining through the window lattice, Li Bohao's face was a little flushed, and he didn't know whether it was the strength of the wine or the agitation, he raised the wine jug, raised his head and filled his mouth.

"The old handsome has been fighting all year round, and Xiliang has received the favor of the eldest son, not to mention thousands. Our determination is that whoever does it, no matter what his purpose is, no matter how deeply he hides, he will pay the price, he must die. ”

Chen Shou's heart was suddenly empty, since he came to this strange world, he was bent on making progress, getting ahead, and having power and money.

Looking back, what he did was a pure egoist, borrowing, borrowing, and borrowing.

Live like this... It's really boring!

Li Jin, who had only met once, did not have any kindness to himself, on the contrary, he traveled thousands of miles and came to Bianliang to save him.

In the past few days, the more I know about him, the more touched I will be. In this chaotic world, there are many songs and dances in the White Tiger Hall, the border soldiers lack food and clothing, the emperor is arrogant and lascivious, and the ministers frame loyalty.

Reason told himself that he was fledgling, and that the farther away he was from this strange thing, the better.

But the man's spirit in his chest was telling him that it was his duty to do it, for the general's mansion, for Li Wei, and for Li Lingyue.

Chen Shou raised his wine glass, touched the wine jug that was drunk by Li Bohao, and said in a condensed voice: "No matter what, I, Chen Shou, will definitely do my best to help." ”
