Hua Shaosheng took a greeting post, saying that Wang Zhong, the assassin of Chizhou, was visiting, and Li Xun hurriedly went out to greet him.

Wang Zhong was a little surprised, with Li Xun's status today, he came to visit, and he turned out to be a parent and son who came out to greet him, which was quite face-saving.

When Li Xun saw Wang Zhong, he laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Wang's demeanor is still the same!" ”

Wang Zhong arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Li is the same!" ”

Li Xun was very happy to see Wang Zhong, the two are old acquaintances, although Li Xun often went in and out of the palace at the beginning, and many people had a face-to-face attitude, but those people all maintained a respectful attitude towards him, only Wang Zhong often took the initiative to greet Li Xun, and in the face of Li Xun's questions, he also answered very patiently, of course, this may be Wang Zhong's character, but anyway, this former enthusiasm, Li Xun finally remembered it in his heart.

"I heard that you are here, I asked people to make good tea, hurry up and follow me to the study to taste one or two."

Li Xun smiled and pulled Wang Zhong into the house very affectionately.

Wang Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Li Xun, there are a few colleagues who came with me. ”

There were three men standing behind Wang Zhong, not very old, Li Xun glanced at them, one of them he had some impressions, as if he was called Wang Shaoqun, he had visited him several times some time ago, but he was not received.

"Since I came with you, they are all friends, and we will go into the house to drink tea together."

Li Xun didn't say anything, and pulled Wang Zhong to the study.

Eating silently, drinking tea is the same, everyone silently tastes the tea, and after drinking the tea, their own subordinates pour the teacup full of water, and then retreat and close the door.

"Li Xun, this tea doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains."

Wang Zhong has two hobbies, drinking tea and cooking, drinking tea is easy to say, but the hobby of cooking is a little strange, but he is such a person, Li Xun once ate the food that Wang Zhong cooked, the taste is really good, at that time Li Xun thought, if Wang Zhong is not an official, with his cooking level, open a restaurant, I am afraid he will not worry about eating and drinking.

Wang Zhong has never drunk any kind of tea, but the cup of tea he is drinking now tastes very strange, and he has never drunk it before, so he asked out loud about the origin of the tea.

"Let's not talk about the origin of the tea, I just ask you how it tastes?"

"It's the best, but it's not the best."

Li Xun said with a smile: "This tea was brought by the prince of Loulan Kingdom, if you like it, I will give you some." ”

Wang Zhong said happily: "That's a good feeling, don't forget it later." ”

Li Xun laughed, pointed at Wang Zhong and said, "I, Li Xun, have never been stingy, especially for you Wang Zhong. ”

The few people who followed Wang Zhong on the left and right couldn't help but show envy on their faces when they saw the two of them talking and laughing so much, and the relationship seemed to be extremely close.

Wang Shaoqun smiled at Wang Zhong and said, "Brother Wang, what is the identity of Li Shilang, how can he not be trustworthy, you can't say such things." ”

Li Xun glanced at him, and then said to Wang Zhong: "I know Lord Wang, but the other two are meeting for the first time, you might as well introduce one or two." ”

"It's all my friends."

Wang Zhong then introduced the identities of the other two.

Wang Shaoqun is the head of the personnel file in charge of the Ministry of War, and the other two are called Xue Chengsong and Huang Wei, Xue Chengsong is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Huang Wei is Lang Zhong who controls the inventory of the Ministry of War.

Li Xun now understands a little now, some time ago, many people came to visit, and they all closed their doors, and they were afraid that they would find out that Wang Zhong had some friendship with him, so they came together through Wang Zhong.

Wang Shaoqun and the other three did have this thought, but they didn't have much confidence at first, after all, Wang Zhong told them that he and Li Xun had some friendship, not too deep, and everyone just had the mentality of giving it a try, and followed Wang Zhong to visit Li Xun, who would have thought that Li Xun was very enthusiastic and happy about Wang Zhong's arrival, which they didn't expect.

Li Xun nodded, he knew these people.

Xue Chengsong laughed softly: "If Li Shilang goes to the military department, the subordinate can be used as a guide." ”

Li Xun waved his hand: "I'm an unofficial now, what kind of waiter is not a waiter, don't scream." ”

Xue Chengsong smiled and hurriedly said, "It's the official's gaffe, and I ask Lord Li for forgiveness." ”

Li Xun smiled: "Everyone will be friends in the future, don't be so polite." ”

Wang Shaoqun and the others heard something from Li Xun's words, so the three of them hurriedly got up and arched their hands: "If Lord Li is sent, we will definitely go all out." ”

Li Xun smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Wang Shaoqun and the others to sit down.

Afterwards, Li Xun looked at Wang Zhong: "Brother Wang, now is not the time to go back to Beijing to report on work, do you have anything to do when you come back this time?" ”

"The emperor issued a holy decree earlier, if there is anything special in the country, you can go back to Beijing to report it in person, my mother has not been in good health recently, so I took this opportunity to come back and visit my mother."

Wang Zhong's expression was a little hesitant when he spoke, obviously these words were just superficial.

"So that's the case, find a time, I should visit my aunt, when I had dinner at your house, my aunt pulled me to talk a lot, and when I left, she gave me a scarf that she knitted by herself, which I will never forget."

Li Xun knew that Wang Zhong was not telling the truth, and Wang Zhong's mother's situation knew that it was not a matter of one or two days a day for a sick seedling, and poor health was not a matter of one or two days, and it was like that, but there would not be any major problems, and it was impossible for Wang Zhong to return to Fengjing in a hurry for this reason.

Wang Zhong looked at Li Xun, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak.

Huang Wei, who had not spoken, said at this time: "Brother Wang, Master Li is your best friend, if you have anything to say, why hide it." ”

Hearing this, Li Xun looked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "It's a shame to say, I went back to Beijing this time, in fact, to be promoted." ”

Li Xun was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Zhong said with some embarrassment: "Zhao He launched a coup d'état, many people were implicated, as a result, many official positions are vacant, I have been in the local area for several years, and I have asked myself about good political performance, this time the emperor issued an edict, so that officials at the level of assassination in various places, if there are special matters, they can go back to Beijing to report in person, I don't just move my mind, I want to do activities, to see if there is a chance to rise." ”

After speaking, Wang Zhong sighed again: "Li Xun, you know my Wang Zhong's character, not the kind of person who clings to the powerful, I returned to Fengjing five days ago, and I haven't looked for you, just because I am afraid that you will think that I have other thoughts and make you look down on me." ”

Li Xun had a smile on his face, and said to Wang Zhong very sincerely: "Wang Zhong, you can say this, which proves that you still regard me Li Xun as a friend, I am very happy." ”
