Chapter 164: A Chance Encounter

"It's madness!"

In the water pavilion, Huang Zhen held Li Xin's letter and laughed angrily.

Yuan Xiannian, who was born in Hedong, sneered again and again, "If you listen to this guy's words, don't say anything else, Hedong will not recover within a hundred years." The entire border will become a scorched earth, and it is not yet known how many families and families of the people will be able to survive. ”

"This is still a fluke to win, if we lose, I'm afraid we will all have to stink for 10,000 years."

Liu Zhiying shook the map in his hand and said with a smile: "At least Li Xin still has a contribution in this matter, we have this map, and if there is a war in Hedong Yunnei, we will not be too passive." ”

"It's his name and wants us to support him, but it's impossible. In the Han Dynasty in the past, the two generations of emperors of Wenjing worked hard to recuperate and accumulate national strength. Emperor Wu was able to attack the Xiongnu in the north, expand the territory, and solve the border troubles. What qualifications do we have in Daqi now, since Taizu lost Tang and unfortunately died, Daqi has been going downhill. Now that I think about it, the time when the national strength was at its peak was actually the time of the founding of the country, which is ridiculous. Chen Shou completely ignored how rebellious his words were, and continued: "It's not impossible to attack Mongolia in the north, but it must be when the national strength is strong, otherwise it will be self-defeating." ”

Li Xin may not be unaware of this result, he is just making an attempt, a bold attempt.

Now in control of Tong Ting, it is Chen Shou, who he doesn't like very much, and he agrees, so that this crazy plan can be implemented.

Although it seemed to be difficult and dangerous, Li Xin was willing to give it a try, and he felt that he could be qualified for the position of commander.

After the matter is completed, as long as His Majesty can be in charge of the government, it doesn't matter if he retires after he succeeds.

However, Li Xin also knows what kind of person Chen Shou is, if you want him to agree, you must have enough tempting chips, and you can't take anything out of it.

In Li Xin's view, what Chen Shou wants is just his power, and now few people can give him more.

The game of these people was put on the chessboard, and the result was that the situation in Hedong became more and more erosive, the addition of the Mongols, and the rampant white lotus, which made the vast land of Hedong more and more chaotic.

The entry of the Mongols made the winter even worse, but the rest of the world became more and more stable because of the cold.

At this time, the first batch of goods arriving from Nantang had arrived in Hong Kong, and the sea was not frozen, which made Chen Shou feel very excited.

"The materials that arrived from Datang, I am ready to arrange them on the spot, so that Hejian and Shandong Qingzhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion can develop our forces."

Liu Zhiying, who has been in the military department for two years, said: "After the chaos, although there are many scenes that we do not want to see, such as the displacement of people, it has become much easier to raise flags and recruit soldiers. ”

"Then recruit troops in Dengju Mansion, Cheongju Mansion, Jeju Mansion, and Hajian Mansion." Under Chen Shou, there are many veterans from Xiliang, who originally came to the prosperous Bianliang to retire with Li Lingyue.

These people recruit, recruit, train, and lead soldiers have their own set of skills, which are the skills that have been tempered by a hundred battles and thousands of tempers.

With generals, money, food, and soldiers, the only thing Chen Shou is worried about is where these people belong in the future, and whether they will be completely loyal to him.

"I need a general to take charge of the situation in the east."

Liu Zhiying frowned and said, "Isn't Zhang Zhengyuan in Qingzhou?" ”

"Isn't it... It's a little too young. Chen Shou was a little worried, this kid was too young.

"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, young people have courage, dare to decide, and may not be as good as our old things, but it still depends on them to develop. Emperor Wu's soldiers attacked Mongolia in six ways, and there were many veterans, and it was Wei Qing and Champion Hou who made great achievements in the end. Huang Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "What's more, I'm older, I've experienced more, and my feelings are complicated, so my thoughts are mixed." Behind Zhang Zhengyuan, there is only Yanqing View, which is the back garden of the Marquis of Zhongyong. ”

Chen Shou immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, let Zhang Zhengyuan be in charge of the four mansions on East Road." ”

Daxiangguo Temple, crowds like the sea.

Approaching the end of the year, although there have been many major events in Kaifeng Mansion recently, it has not touched the people, under the management of Chen Shou, the officials are trembling, and the people's taxes have been reduced.

The people have surplus money in their hands, and they will not be willing to be too shabby during the New Year.

After this time, it is estimated that the businessmen will also have to close their doors for the holidays, and they will not reopen until the next year.

Daxiangguo Temple also opens its doors to welcome pilgrims, where the incense is already prosperous, and the spectacular temple complex looks endless from the bottom of the mountain.

The yellow wall is as high as a two-story house, the gate is more magnificent than the palace gate, and a few monks are white and fat, very festive, standing at the door with a standard smile.

Chen Shou and Li Lingyue, strolling through the lively bazaar, put aside a room of worries, and were in a good mood to travel with the United States. In a very good mood, he didn't seem to notice Li Lingyue's pretty face that was still a little unhappy, and explained to himself, telling the many joys of this temple fair.

Slowly, Li Lingyue was amused by him, his apricot eyes widened slightly, and after a while, his face was full of smiles, and he took the initiative to hold Chen Shou's arm.

Daxiangguo Temple is so lively, the two of them walked around for a while, Rao has nothing to buy, and they are each holding a handful of gadgets. There are sugar figures, clay figures, small combs, wooden dolls...

Chen Shou, who was originally full of interest, was tired with sore back and legs, and he was too tired. On the contrary, it was Li Lingyue, who was originally interested in the spirit, looking left and right, wanting to buy everything, and wanting to try everything.

Chen Shou couldn't stand it anymore, so he took her to an alley behind the temple fair.

There is a small lunch market under the shade of the scattered eaves in the alley, at this time it is just the opposite in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the traffic is sparse, and even the stalls are all happy, leaning on the pillar and napping.

"What are you doing here?" Li Lingyue hadn't shopped enough, and asked puzzledly.

"There's a good thing here, let's have a cup of tea first, otherwise I won't be able to walk."

Li Lingyue was a little embarrassed, and sat down in front of a small stall, there was a bowl on the table, Li Lingyue took a look, there were some potholes on it, and I don't know how many people have used it.

"I don't want to drink tea here."

Chen Shou had just rested for a while, his legs were still a little sore, he raised his head and pretended to be a dead dog, looking like he couldn't get up after beating me to death.

A few plainclothes guards wandered around, looking around vigilantly.

Li Lingyue smoked a few gadgets and said with a smile: "Do you think this looks like you?" ”

Chen Shou saw that she was holding a small puppet that looked like a leper dog in her hand, and said angrily: "No matter what you say, I won't get up." ”

Li Lingyue pursed his lips and glanced at him coquettishly, "You are here to make amends, why are you still complaining about being tired, you and Li Lingfeng... When you do that kind of thing, how can you not be tired. ”

Chen Shou couldn't help but collapse his shoulders, bend his waist, and sneered: "Can this be the same?" ”

While talking, I suddenly saw two figures, one large and one small, turning from the alley in front of them, stepping into the alley together, the big one was graceful and fair, and the small one was delicate and cute.

"I'm not going to come out with you anymore, it's too tiring."

The voice was a little familiar, Chen Shou looked up, and saw that the person who came was thinly wrapped in mink fur, with long hair hanging down, and a slender body with exquisite curves, which was not his concubine Concubine Wu.

Beside her, a figure that was extremely slender, with a half-pink neck exposed in the mink tail, but a bulge on his chest the same size as his head, was the little princess Zhao Jinnu.

Chen Shou immediately stood up.

"Okay, you! Aren't you tired if you have beautiful women? Li Lingyue wrinkled his nose, his apricot eyes were round, and he whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is the concubine and Her Royal Highness the princess." Chen Shou grabbed her hand and took the initiative to greet her.

Li Lingyue sighed, then he was relieved, and followed Chen Shou forward, and the couple bowed slightly: "I have seen two highnesses." ”

Concubine Wu looked at Li Lingyue curiously, and said with a smile: "Is this Mrs. Zhongyonghou, the tiger girl of Xiliang?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Shou said with a smile.

He hadn't seen Concubine Wu for a long time, and in front of so many people, he didn't dare to squeeze his eyebrows, just hooked her with his eyes.

When Concubine Wu saw him like this, her heart fluttered, and she was a little angry, a little funny, and a little excited.

Li Lingyue also said generously: "Two highnesses, are you also here to visit the temple fair?" ”

"I won't leave halfway through the stroll, it's so boring..."Zhao Jinnu muttered quietly.

Li Lingyue nodded again and again: "That's it." ”

"Concubine..."

Concubine Wu's eyes were sparkling, and she said with a smile: "When you are out today, you don't have to follow those rules, let's just call ourselves friends." ”

Li Lingyue and Zhao Jinnu sat together, and saw that this little princess did not have a princess shelf, she was very lively and cute, and she was very talkative. Her figure is petite, but her slender wrists and slender legs have perfectly coordinated proportions, but her chest is a little abrupt, and she preconceived that she likes this little princess very much.

"Where did you buy these clay figurines?" Zhao Jinnu saw the clay figure in Chen Shou's hand, and asked with bright eyes.

"Right ahead."

"Hey, this clay man looks like my sister."

A sister made Li Ling look at her more kindly, and said with a smile: "The little master who pinched the clay man can pinch it according to the appearance of a person." ”

"I'm going too!" Zhao Jinnu said to Concubine Wu.

Concubine Wu waved her hand again and again, frightened, and said with a pale face: "I'm not going." ”

"Let's go!" Li Lingyue pulled her hand and said with a smile.

The two energetic girls hit it off and walked out of the alley hand in hand, leaving Chen Shou and Concubine Wu there.

"My mother, no matter how you say it, you can leave, and I don't know if it's going to happen." Chen Shou immediately said with a salivating face.

Concubine Wu snorted coldly and said, "You know it in your own heart. ”

Chen Shou knew that she had found out about Princess Huaishan, and hurriedly coaxed: "What do I know, after you left, I was sad for several days." The summer palace can't do without you, so let's come back quickly. ”

Concubine Wu was sweet in her heart, but she deliberately put on a pretty face, turned her head and whispered: "Phew! The mouth is sweet and smooth, not half serious! There are piles of concubines in your house, and you just married such a beautiful wife, one is more pretty than the other, can you think of me? ”

Somehow, Concubine Wu always felt that his eyes were ambiguous, and he seemed to be smiling at herself.

"We haven't seen each other in a few days, hehe, do you think I do?" Chen Shou asked shamelessly.

"Nope." Concubine Wu said lightly, with her calves crossed on one side, she looked tired.

Chen Shou, who was already tired and couldn't walk, suddenly seemed to have infinite energy, and said with embarrassed eyes: "Then I don't believe it, I can hear the voice in your heart when I sit here, and call me by name." ”

"Then you have to worry about it." Concubine Wu also laughed, and her calves didn't seem to be so stiff.

Chen Shou suddenly grabbed Concubine Wu's slender hand and said with a smile: "You ruthlessly don't want me, but I don't miss you for a day, I'll go to you tonight." ”

Concubine Wu was embarrassed, her face was flushed, but she said proudly: "You have the ability to be here, I will forget you when I go home, I see so many people in one day, who would think of you as a thief." ”

Chen Shou threatened: "Do you think I don't dare? ”

Concubine Wu raised her head, looked at him with a red face, shook her head with infinite grace, and said word by word: "You... Only... Be... No... Dare. ”

She hadn't seen Chen Shou for a long time, and she said that she hadn't thought it was a lie, but she was still annoyed that Chen Shou had an affair with Huaishan and didn't take her seriously. After all, Huaishan has to call himself a mother concubine in terms of seniority. Concubine Wu, who couldn't be angry, simply went back to her parents' house and was with Princess Ji Luo, which was not too lonely.

Chen Shou stood up suddenly, carried Concubine Wu on his shoulder, and pressed his hand on his buttocks, which was so frightened that he lost his face.

"You're going crazy, it's the street!" Concubine Wu smashed her fist on Chen Shou's shoulder, and her calf kicked wildly.

The surrounding stalls were all frightened, and dozens of guards immediately came in, and Li Sanniu scolded loudly: "Keep your heads down, don't look around." ”

Chen Shou carried Concubine Wu and kicked away a small meditation room in Xiangguo Temple at the foot of the mountain, there was only one futon in it, and there were wooden fish on the ground.

The little monk guarding the mountain gate, Xu was greedy to go to the temple fair, Chen Shou secretly screamed just right, so as not to drive people away.

A few guards guarded from afar, Chen Shou used his heels to close them, and Concubine Wu was still shocked at this time, beating him and scolding: "What are you going to do!" ”

Chen Shou pressed her in front of the smiling Maitreya statue, Concubine Wu's face was red, and she was forced to bend over and bend her hips, Chen Shou lifted her skirt with ease...

......

---

"I have some deals with Nantang, if you want, you can take some money to participate, how about a piece of the pie then?"

Chen Shou looked at Concubine Wu opposite, her chest was still rising and falling violently, her cheeks were like rouge, her mouth was open, and her eyes were misty.

Concubine Wu's face was ruddy, and she felt that the Buddha statues around her were all strange eyes, "You have such a good heart?" ”

"I have no bad intentions towards you." Chen Shou shouted: "This is not ordinary money, if you don't lack it, forget it." ”

"Yes! Why not! You can't take advantage of it for nothing. ”

The two of them were still chatting, and Zhang He knocked on the door outside and coughed lightly, saying, "Madame has already gone back, and she will come over in a while!" ”

Chen Shou hurriedly hugged Concubine Wu's neck and kissed her, and said, "It's so decided, you can let people come to my house at any time to keep accounts." ”

After speaking, he pushed open the door and walked to the mouth of the alley.

After a while, Li Lingyue and Zhao Jinnu walked over hand in hand, and the little princess asked suspiciously: "Wu... What about my sister? ”

"Ah, haha, she saw a Maitreya Buddha over there, and she had to go in and worship, oh, that's it. Your Royal Highness Princess, if there is nothing to do, our husband and wife will leave first. ”

Zhao Jinnu nodded, his eyebrows smiling into a crescent moon, "Sister Yue'er has time to come and play with me." ”

Before Li Lingyue could speak, Chen Shou said, "Your Highness is also welcome to our mansion as a guest." ”

Zhao Jinnu agreed with a smile, walked outside the meditation room, pushed the door and entered.

I saw Concubine Wu kneeling on the futon reverently, chanting sutras in front of the mouth of Maitreya Buddha.

"If you don't go to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, why do you worship the little Buddha here?"

Concubine Wu blushed and said angrily: "In front of the Buddha statue, what is the size!" ”
