It was still a bright sunny morning glow just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was cloudy. The plums in the courtyard are about to ripen, and the rainy season is coming. Small bridges and flowing water, pink walls and tiles, small pavilions with leaky windows, alleys in the ancient town, raining bananas, and boats shaking under the moon...... The plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River is lingering and sympathetic, and it is poignant and picturesque, but Li Ke doesn't like it, he only misses Guanzhong with clear skies and sunshine and ancient Qin Feng.

The clouds are like lead, the rain has not yet fallen, and there is a slight dampness in the cool breeze.

Li Ke wrapped his robe, very unaccustomed to the gloomy and humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xi Junmai stood under the hall with his hands tied, looking at the last of the three letters entrusted by his own Hou Ye in his hand, His Royal Highness King Wu seemed to be immersed in the Hou Ye's words and couldn't extricate himself, and he was distracted for a while......

Although Xi Junmai is young, he has a calm temperament and is not impatient.

After a long time, Li Kecai, the king of Wu, reached out and stroked the Liang Guan on the top of his head, and said quietly: "This marquis of your family is indeed exquisite. A sudden crisis, he took advantage of it to enhance his reputation, and this king really admired. It's just that Fang Er is afraid that he will be smart this time but will be mistaken by being smart......"

Xi Junmai was puzzled.

Li Ke seemed to like Xi Junmai very much, and his handsome face was full of a warm smile: "If you are willing to stay in this king's mansion, this king will do Fang Er a big favor, and it can be regarded as helping you change your old kindness, how about it?" ”

"This ......" Xi Junmai was a little dumbfounded.

Li Ke personally made a statement to solicit, which surprised him.

This is the current His Royal Highness, Li Ke, the king of Wu who oversees the military of the thirteen states...... Although it is more of a name, in fact, he can't command a single soldier, but this is also His Royal Highness King Wu, who is also the bloodline of the emperors of the former Sui and Tang dynasties!

How can he be so virtuous that he actually let this person speak out?

Although it was impossible to turn his back on Fang Jun and join King Wu, Xi Junmai still had a feeling of being taken seriously, and when he raised his head slightly, he saw Li Ke's undisguised appreciation and affection in his peach blossom eyes......

Xi Junmai's heart was cold, and the sweat pores all over his body exploded in an instant!

Could it be ...... This His Royal Highness has a habit of breaking his sleeves, and he has taken a fancy to his sturdy body?

When I think about it, there could be a scenario...... Xi Junmai couldn't help but shudder.

hurriedly refused: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation." It's just that he is deeply favored by the Hou Ye, and he has already vowed to follow the Hou Ye for the rest of his life, and he swore a blood oath that he is willing to become the Hou Ye's general, and I ask His Royal Highness for forgiveness. ”

Li Ke was slightly disappointed.

He really appreciates Xi Junmai, this kid is calm and steady, fierce, loyal, benevolent, and righteous, and he is very capable of giving him important tasks. It has nothing to do with the peach and broken sleeves, His Royal Highness King Wu is a well-known straight man......

Li Ke was a little disappointed, and sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so don't worry!" It's just a pity that there are no famous generals, but they have to be committed to slavery. ”

Xi Junmai's heart was relieved, and he immediately asked: "Your Highness just said that the marquis of my family was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, I don't know why?" ”

Li Ke smiled slightly, and did not answer Xi Junmai directly, but beckoned the guards to summon him, and ordered him to send Fang Jun's last "blood letter" to Chang'an quickly.

When the guard left, Li Ke smiled and said: "Fang Er is smart, this blood book Mingzhi is indeed a good trick, which can not only make my father deeply feel his loyalty and loyalty, but also make the world's corporal Lin turn his back on the heroic and loyal to be impressed, no accident, after this incident, it will definitely be famous all over the world." It's a pity that this kid is insatiable, but he doesn't know the truth of overreach. ”

Xi Junmai is a smart person, his heart tightened slightly, and he already roughly understood what Li Ke meant.

Sure enough, Li Ke continued: "The so-called repeatedly, repeatedly, cannot be repeated again and again. Some methods can be used once or twice, which can make people's hearts shake and be greatly touched. But if you use too much, it will make people feel tired and counterproductive. ”

Xi Junmai was a little sweaty: "Even so, why does Your Highness want the last blood letter from the Hou Ye?" ”

Although the words are respectful, the heart is inevitably slanderous. Hou Ye treats you as a friend you can trust, but you still push Hou Ye in knowing that there is a pit in front of you...... Not authentic!

Li Ke stretched his waist, took a sip of the sour plum soup on the table, and said with a smile: "Jun Mai scolded me in his heart, is he not authentic?" ”

Xi Junmai was taken aback, it was rumored that His Majesty's sons were all talented in dragon and phoenix, and they were all thoughtful! Hurriedly said: "Don't dare." ”

"Hehe, duplicity, but this king doesn't care about you." Li Ke laughed and said proudly: "Fang Er prides himself on being smart, but he has never considered the emperor's thoughts!" If Fang Jun's practice of inviting fame and fortune is seen through by his father, his father will only think that this is a reward for Fang Er's desire to seek fame, although he is angry, it is harmless, after all, Fang Er is such a scoundrel...... But if this thought is deeply hidden and discovered by the father and emperor, the nature will be completely different. With his father's temperament, he will definitely think that Fang Er is playing tricks on him and deceiving him. As an emperor, he is not afraid of his subordinates competing for fame and fortune or even playing scoundrels, he only hates his subordinates for deceiving and coaxing him! So, this king is helping Fang Jun, do you want to thank this king for your stupid marquis? ”

Xi Jun bought himself with a clear mind, and as soon as Li Ke said this, he immediately understood the difference. Hurriedly bent down and bowed, and bowed: "I humbly thanked the prince for the marquis!" Hou Ye often said that his confidant is the only one who is King Wu! Sure enough, Hou Ye is very lucky! ”

Li Ke was slightly stunned: "Did your marquis really say that?" ”

Xi Junmai said solemnly: "If there is a word of falsehood, people and gods will abandon it, and ten thousand arrows will pierce it!" ”

Li Ke was silent.

After a long time, I got up and slowly paced to the window.

A burst of water vapor invaded, and a steady stream of rain fell from the sky.

The abundant and warm rain soaked the green bricks and tiles, and the bluestone slabs in the courtyard also splashed with raindrops like broken jade, and the grass and trees in the garden were verdant, exuding a refreshing aromatic smell. Standing in the main hall, looking through the window, the roof of the house in the house seemed to be covered with a thin layer of smoke.

The poetic smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River is intoxicating.

The damp smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are equally disturbing......

Under the verandah of the hall, a guard hurriedly came.

After entering the main hall, he told Li Ke: "Lord Qiyu, Runzhou Thorn Shi Lu Da Xuan personally led a thousand soldiers to rush to Niuzhuji by boat to rescue. Song Guogong personally convened the core figures of all the families to negotiate in Stone Town, and thought that reinforcements would be sent soon. It's just that there is another news from the lowly ......"

Hearing the guard's words, Li Ke said unhappily: "Why hesitate? ”

The guard hurriedly said: "The news of the detailed work placed in each family is just hearsay, unconfirmed, and it is a humble and ignorant of whether to say it or not." ”

Li Ke groaned slightly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"No! The information sent back in detail said that an unknown number of soldiers and dead soldiers from the major families had been sent out in batches recently, and their whereabouts were unknown, so it was very likely that they would ...... It is to go to Niuzhuji, cooperate with the Shanyue rebels, and strangle the Marquis of Huating! ”

Li Ke was shocked and blurted out: "Is this true? ”

The guard hesitated: "The detailed work is indeed so reported, but it is also stated that it is just speculation, and there is no substantial evidence. ”

Of course there is no evidence!

How can this kind of sending a family to send a subordinate soldier to assist the Shanyue rebels in attacking and killing the imperial court officials, how can it be possible to leave evidence? Unless the Jiangnan Shi clan is a group of guinea dog-like fools, they will leave a handle that is enough to destroy the family!

If there is such a trend, then eight or nine will not be far from ten!

"Lord Wang! Please allow Your Majesty to lead the Wuya Battleship to Niuzhu Rock and fight to the death with Hou Ye! Xi Junmai knelt on one knee, his tone anxious!

Originally, in the face of the chaotic people in Shanyue, the cavalry around Fang Jun was enough to form a crushing advantage, and there was no danger, and the battle report was just an exaggeration. But now that there are soldiers and dead soldiers from all major families involved, the situation will change immediately!

The Jiangnan Shi clan has been operating for many years, and although there are not too many weapons controlled by the imperial court such as bows and crossbows, they will definitely not be absent! As long as each family sends a dozen or twenty crossbowmen, they will definitely not be less than a hundred when they gather in one place, and when the time comes, they will suddenly kill the cavalry with bows and crossbows......

Xi Junmai couldn't even think about it!

Now that the soldiers of the major families have been dispatched, they are probably already assembled in Niu Zhuji now, and they will attack at any time!

Hou Ye is in danger!

How can Xi Jun not be in a hurry to buy?

Li Ke said categorically: "Immediately gather all the guards of this king, board the Wuya battleship and go to Niuzhuji to rescue Fang Jun!" ”

Since Fang Jun's situation is no longer safe, it is natural to send troops as soon as possible.

The guard said in a panic: "Your Highness, no!" The mountain is ferocious, and there are soldiers from all major families to help, and the sword has no eyes, if His Highness misses anything......

Li Ke raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Then let this group of lawless Jiangnan scholars who don't know the height of the sky and the earth kill this king!" This king wants to see if they have the courage to use the blood of this king to give them a flag! ”
