Chapter 43: The Age of Collapse

The camp of the forbidden army, the White Tiger Hall.

In the lobby, more than ten waiters surrounded the table, jade fingers were manipulating, and green sleeves were pouring wine. These are carefully selected beauties, all with bright eyes and bright teeth, and pink cheeks with spring.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the jade plate delicacies during the banquet, and what is even better is that there are singing and dancing wines, and the tactful flute sounds, followed by the faint sound of the flute. Twenty-four kabuki play the drums and sheng, play the piano and wipe the strings, and six maiko dance to the melodious music.

Chen Shou looked at all this in amazement, if it weren't for Yue Xiang telling him that this was the White Tiger Hall, he would have thought that he had arrived at a high-end green building.

As soon as Yue Xiang came in, the generals who were sitting on the seat and did something to the attendant Ji stood up one after another, and one of them was obese, and his smiling eyes couldn't be seen, "Isn't this Manager Yue, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Yue Xiang is the chief steward of the Imperial City, and these forbidden troops are also under his jurisdiction, but Yue Xiang has never asked in the past few years.

As soon as he got up, the orchestra in the room stopped, and Chen Shou had a chance to look at it.

This is the festival hall of the forbidden army? It's just a drunken gold fan, and it's very different from the General's Mansion, how can there be a trace of murderous spirit.

It is said that the Southern Tang Dynasty is full of dogs and horses, monarchs and ministers are frolicking, full of fat fans, and poor and extravagant. Now it seems that Daqi is not much better.

Yue Xiang was not surprised, obviously knowing their virtues, and pointed to Chen Shou behind him and said: "This righteous son of our family is on duty in your Yilu lieutenant, he is diligent and conscientious, and he wants your brother Zhu to take care of him." ”

"Look at what you said, if you say a word, who dares not to do it, brothers."

The commander of the forbidden army surnamed Zhu bowed his head and said with a bow, although this old eunuch has not asked about the court for a long time, but the donkey does not fall, his connections are there, and he can see His Majesty at any time, and his energy should not be underestimated, and no one wants to offend this kind of person. Because he has no desires and wants, and if he wants to you, he can go out and ignore everything. Do whatever it takes.

Chen Shou was in the White Tiger Hall, he was familiar with his face, and he didn't eat here, so he returned to the East Palace.

----

East Palace, Spring and Hall.

It can be seen that Li Lingfeng is in a good mood, his eldest brother is saved, and he is finally willing to take a look at Chen Shou, who is likely to become his brother-in-law.

"Hey, can't you see that you're promoted quickly?"

Chen Shou was dressed in a crimson robe, with a pair of white Rui horses embroidered on his shoulders, a brocade around his waist and a jade belt of rhino horns on his head, and the halberd in his hand was also replaced by a sword pinned to his waist. In just a few days, he has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant and is responsible for the security of the entire East Palace.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Chen Shou wears it with a little more masculinity, which makes him even more eye-catching.

Chen Shou smiled and said, "This is all supported by our general's mansion, otherwise there would be no small today." ”

Seeing his hippie smiling face, Li Lingfeng was a little annoyed, and always felt that this kid had a bad heart, and he must have used some despicable means to deceive his little sister.

Looking at the surrounding palace maids, they all blushed and secretly looked at him, beautiful women are easy to be accosted, and handsome Xiao Langjun is also easy to be remembered, especially in a place like the palace.

Li Lingfeng glanced at them coldly, these little palace ladies restrained a little, although they didn't like this kid, but they also had to watch more for their little sister.

These little palace maids, all of whom came with General Xiliang's mansion, were Li Lingfeng's absolute henchmen, and she didn't avoid them, and asked directly: "How did you get into Zhao Prison that day?" ”

Chen Shou smiled shyly and said, "My godfather took me in." ”

"Godfather? When did you have a godfather? ”

Li Lingfeng thought that he had found out Chen Shou clearly, and even his brother and nephew, the seven aunts and eight aunts, had checked, that is, ordinary children of peasant families, and they had absolutely no relatives in the capital.

Chen Shou snorted and didn't want to tell her for the time being, but Li Lingfeng got to the bottom of it and asked, "Could it be that you recognize it in the past few days?" ”

When she was aggressive, a palace maid suddenly came in from outside, and said to the ground: "Crown princess, it's not good, the eldest prince was killed on the road, and the group is all dead." ”

With a bang, the ruyi in Li Lingfeng's hand fell to the ground, her moth eyebrows furrowed, her red lips trembled, revealing a heartbreaking painful expression.

That kind of poignant and sad state made Chen Shou's heart tighten. He walked over quickly, helped the little palace maid, and asked, "When did it happen, and where did the news come from?" ”

"It was the words sent by the Nan Ya of Kaifeng Mansion to spread the word, this matter has alarmed His Majesty, Long Yan was furious, and ordered the South Ya and the North Division to handle it together, and it is bound to find out the real culprit. Just now, the public from Nanya came to report the news, and he had just left not long ago. ”

Chen Shou was stunned in place, he really couldn't imagine who would do this.

It is already clear that the courtiers colluded with the Northern Division to detain Li Jin because the civilian clique and Yao Baobao wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate the General's Mansion.

But all this, with Li Wei's victory in Hengshan, and Li Xin broke their conspiracy to attack Liangzhou City, this conspiracy has been exposed.

rescued Li Jin by himself, these people must have breathed a sigh of relief, which is equivalent to giving them a step down, so that both sides will not tear their faces.

Killing Li Jin at this time is purely stupid and incorrigible, and Chen Shou believes that this is definitely not the work of the civilian clique that detained Li Jin.

When he was puzzled, a faint sigh came, Li Lingfeng held his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Chen Shou, we have to avenge the eldest brother." ”

Revenge?

You have to know who the enemy is.

In Chen Shou's mind, Li Jin's appearance suddenly appeared, he was born noble, broad-minded, benevolent, and had the style of a king.

Victory is not arrogant and defeat is not discouraged, the noble son who has lived a good life since he was a child, was imprisoned in a dark cell for a month for no reason, and after he came out, he did not have resentment and sorrow, but could comfort his subordinates with a smile, talk and laugh freely, and be open-minded and free.

Not to mention the son of a feudal official, even an ordinary person, it is difficult to do it.

He and those noble relatives of the White Tiger Hall are completely two types of people, Rao is Chen Shou only met in a hurry, and he was also a little sad.

Li Wei has two sons, Chen Shou has more contact with Li Xin, this is a pure military general, with all the good qualities of a military general, but that's all.

Li Jin had very little contact, but he only needed this glimpse to know that this was the best heir to the General's Mansion, and he might do better than his father.

Chen Shou's eyes closed, and he was already disappointed in this era, this was the worst era.

Will one day, he will die like this, he suddenly remembered the words of the four eunuch godfathers:

"There is no one in this world who can save anyone, only to save themselves."
