Xiliang, General's Mansion.

It has been two months since Li Jin was killed, but the imperial court still has no explanation.

The crowd in the general's mansion was raging, and the generals and colonels all had opposing intentions, especially the imperial court's refusal to pull out grain and grass, which made them hungry for three years to fight, and the weapons and baggage needed to be replenished by the capture of Fanbang aliens.

Xiliang didn't have the slightest good impression of the imperial court, and Li Jin's death further catalyzed and fermented this kind of impending reaction.

In the hall, all the servants were instructed to leave, and only Li Wei and his chief military advisor Jiang Xiangyu remained.

Jiang Xiangyu was silent and did not speak, and only after half a sound did he speak: "General, the soldiers and people of Xiliang kneel and ask to bury the prince in Liangzhou, which is the back of the hearts of the people of Liangzhou. The people's heart is in me, the army's heart is in me, and there is the Southern Tang Dynasty to contain it. If the general is interested, his subordinates are willing to take a sail straight to Jiangnan and persuade the Southern Tang to form an alliance with me. Although the time has not yet come to overthrow the Great Qi, the separatist side will establish a country on its own, and the Great Qi will not be able to help us. ”

Look carefully, the old man sitting at the top is Li Wei, the once energetic general of the expedition to the west. Li Wei, whose eyes were slightly closed, was full of gorgeous hair, and the pain of losing his son made him turn white overnight.

Before Li Wei could speak, a clear and loud voice came from the inner room behind the curtain: "Uncle Jiang, why do you have such words of no king, no father, disloyalty and unfilial piety." My Li family is a door, subject to Taizu Longen, guarding the northwest. Now that there are strong enemies outside the country, and traitorous ministers are in charge, it is when men serve the country, how can they talk about such disobedience as rebellion. ”

Li Wei's brows furrowed even more, and it was his second son Li Xin who spoke, who was walking out from behind the curtain with a solemn face at this moment.

Jiang Xiangyu's eyelids flicked, and Li Wei's expression was in his eyes, and there was a little more realization in his heart.

I see...

The general has only two sons, and he is very old, if he is divided and independent, the court will definitely not die.

At that time, after a hundred years of the general, the second prince is not a candidate to continue to fight against the imperial court with everyone, and the Xiliang soldiers who follow the Li family are afraid that they will die without a place to be buried.

After Li Xin came out, he still had an angry look on his face, and Jiang Xiangyu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Li Wei said in a deep voice: "Your uncle is also for our Li family, Xin'er must not be rude." ”

Li Xin clenched his fists and bent down, deeply soaked, and said: "Uncle, my nephew knows that you are our Li family, but please uncle don't make such unscrupulous remarks again, so that the ancestors of my Li family will be ashamed." Between the world and the earth, loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of life, which is the words of the sage. If he does something rebellious, he is no different from a pig or a dog. ”

Jiang Xiangyu looked at him deeply, shook his head and brushed his sleeves out. Walking to the door, he turned around and clasped his fists and said, "General, do it yourself..."

"Daddy... I! ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, you go back and let me rest for a while."

Li Xin's face was a little tangled, he gave his father a bow, and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of his second son, Li Wei's eyes gradually became cloudy, he has two sons, to a certain extent, they are both good enough, and none of them are gentlemen.

Especially Li Xin, who commands the troops and trains the troops, commands the battle formation, and is a first-class leader in bow and horse martial arts.

When he was fourteen years old, he led his troops into Hengshan and killed the enemy and captured a lot. Since then, he has led troops in Xiliang for nearly 15 years, and has fought more than 700 battles of all sizes, without a single defeat!

It was this son who allowed the Xiliang Army, which had been at a disadvantage and had been defending, to take the Yinzhou Fortress, ambush the Hengshan Qiqiang in one fell swoop, and defeat the century-old enemy.

It's a pity he's too... is too principled, Li Wei was not afraid, because he also had an eldest son, Li Jin.

Now that Li Jin is dead, Li Wei is afraid that the century-old foundation of the Li family will be destroyed in the hands of himself, the son of a victorious general.

With a sigh, Li Wei twisted his eyebrows, held his forehead with his hand, and felt a little headache.

A little white cat swaggered in, followed by her daughter. After returning from the first battle of Hengshan, the eldest son was gone, and the eldest daughter also entered Beijing, but the younger daughter, who had always been rude and willful, became very filial.

Li Wei grabbed the kitten and stroked it back and forth behind his back, his hand grabbed the blade and the reins all the year round, very rough, and the kitten enjoyed it very much.

Li Lingyue was holding a soup cup, and when he came in, he saw his father frowning, and his heart suddenly became sour, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Dad, I asked Zhihua to boil some lotus seed porridge, you can drink a few sips."

Li Wei's expression eased slightly, pointed to the table, and said, "Put it here." ”

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and asked, "Yue'er, did Chen Shou write to you?" ”

Li Lingyue's face flushed, pinched the corner of his skirt and said, "It's coming... Two or three letters, Dad, what are you asking for? ”

"He is now thriving in the capital, you let him use snacks, don't forget to help find out the murderer of your eldest brother."

Li Lingyue nodded heavily and said, "He said in the letter that there will be inspections every day." ”

"That's good, he won't lie to you, will he?"

"Chen Shou never lies!"

----

In the summer palace, in the high-rise building of the flower garden.

On the top of the tall building, wisps of cool breeze flowed by, and on the rattan chair from the South Seas, a noble lady with all kinds of charms was reclining, giggling at this time.

Her lying posture was a little debauched, and she covered her mouth and smiled from time to time.

On the couch not far away, there was a handsome young man, who was telling stories to Concubine Wu to relieve her boredom.

"I'm tired of hearing this, let's have a fresh one."

Chen Shou smiled and said, "Okay, then the lower official will tell a fresh story to Niangniang, saying that in Yuncheng County, Shandong, there is a big official from Ximen...."

......

"The woman crossed her hands and said, 'You crooked wretch, but I will slap you with a big ear!' Ximen Qing said with a smile: "The lady killed the villain, and she also got a benefit." So he couldn't help but say, hugged to the kang of the Wang Po's bed, undressed and untied, and pillowed together. ”

The rise of Chen Shou's speech is full of emotion.

Speaking of this, Concubine Wu blushed and took a sip, "Phew, where did you hear this obscene story, it's really a pair of dog men and women, and you dare to tell it to the palace, it's really a fight." ”

Chen Shou stepped forward and said with a smile: "Niangniang killed the villain, and she also got a benefit..."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently pinched Wu Guifei's little feet, and his little fingers slowly circled.

"You're going to die?" Wu Guifei trembled all over, got goosebumps all over her body, and scolded viciously, but the corners of her eyes were coquettish.

After saying that, she got up and walked to the railing, overlooking the beautiful mountains of the summer palace. There was an imperceptible smile in the corner of her eye.

"Here... It's a great place. ”

---

In the Horse Mansion, there is a piece on the table, Princess Huaishan looks at the willow eyebrows upside down, and the phoenix eyes are mighty.

"This Chen Shou is so bold, he dares to deceive his father, I will definitely not let him go!"

Wang Chaolong breathed a long sigh of relief, and his wife came forward, so he could solve this crisis.

Next time, if a person who doesn't open his eyes dares to accept Xiliang's gift again, he will have to kill him.

"Where is this Chen Shou? I'll teach him a lesson first, beat him half to death, and then take him to see my father!" ”
