On the island in the middle of the lake, in the pavilion, Li Xun was lying on a rattan rocking chair, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, but Xiaolian, who was sitting on the side, faintly heard that Li Xun's mouth was humming a song.

Xiaolian looked at Li Xun silently, with a deep tenderness in her eyes, the two grew up together since childhood, they can be described as childhood sweethearts, before Li Xun was eight years old, the impression on Xiaolian was very light, but since a serious illness at the age of eight, Li Xun's whole person has changed, becoming lively, cheerful, often speaking amazingly, and likes to tell stories to Xiaolian, although many times Xiaolian can't understand, but the story itself is very attractive.

Li Xun's unusual people eventually caused trouble, and he was beaten severely by the son of the landlord's family, and since then, Li Xun has been silent a lot, and those words that people seem to understand are not revealed, but he still often tells stories to Xiaolian.

Xiaolian's childhood was very hard, but she felt very happy, because with Li Xun, although life was hard, she was very happy, she could hear fresh stories every day, and her life was not boring at all.

Li Mancang once found Li Yi to discuss the marriage between Li Xun and Xiaolian, but was rejected by Li Yi, it is okay to be a concubine, but not a wife, Li Mancang is powerless to object, and then, he intends to marry Xiaolian to a good scholar, but Xiaolian is resolutely opposed....

Li Mancang asked Xiaolian, when you first came to my house, you didn't like Li Xun, when did you change?

Xiaolian replied, after Li Xun was eight years old, they have been together for more than ten years, and now they are leaving, I am not used to it.

understood Xiaolian's intentions, Li Mancang never said anything.

Xiaolian, who was in deep thought, suddenly moved, and it turned out that Li Xun was holding her hand.

Li Xun looked at Xiaolian, held her hand, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Xiaolian said softly, "I thought about what happened when we were young. ”

Li Xun sat up and hugged Xiaolian: "I'm sorry." ”

Xiaolian hugged Li Xun hard and said silently: "I am very satisfied to be with you." ”

Li Xun was silent.

The two hugged for a while, and Li Xun was about to speak, but a slight voice came from behind him.

"Brother Zhu, it seems that we are not here at the right time."

This is Yan Yi's voice.

Li Xun let go of Xiaolian and turned his head to look, but at some point, Zhu Zhengguo, Yan Yi, and Yu Guang were already standing there.

Xiaolian's face suddenly turned red, she got up and said, "I'll bring you some tea and pastries", and left shyly.

"You bastards, have you seen enough? When you've seen enough, come and sit down. ”

Li Xun scolded with a smile, he has been his best brother in the past few years, and he doesn't need any scruples.

Zhu Zhengguo and the others sat down.

Li Xun said unhappily: "Or did I ask Yu Guang to invite the two of you over, if I don't look for you, you won't come to me?" Still not brothers. ”

Li Xun is indeed a little dissatisfied, everyone fled to Fengjing together, supported and took care of each other, it can be said that they shared hardships and sorrows, with this experience, no matter what differences everyone has in the future, the relationship will not be too estranged, he has been back to Fengjing for half a month, except for Yu Guang once, Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi have never seen each other, is it because their officials are getting bigger and bigger, so that they have different meanings in their hearts? I've never had that thought before.

Yan Yi turned his head, a little embarrassed, pointed at Zhu Zhengguo and said, "Brother Gou'er, it's not that I don't come to you, it's that Brother Zhu doesn't allow it." ”

Li Xun looked at Zhu Zhengguo suspiciously.

Zhu Zhengguo said: "Brother Dog, don't misunderstand, we don't come to you because we're afraid that you will get into trouble." ”

Before Li Xun came back, the news that he was about to be transferred out of Wuzhou and went to work elsewhere had already spread, Zhu Zhengguo had of course heard about it, and after Li Xun returned to Fengjing, he was also extremely low-key, living in a shallow way, and hardly going out, although Zhu Zhengguo didn't know why, but he thought about it, there must be a deep story in it, and Li Xun was probably in big trouble.

The inspection institute was established by Li Xun, Zhu Zhengguo's relationship with him is too sensitive, and the interaction at this time is too much, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble, everyone is a good brother, meet a little later, it doesn't matter, don't be in a hurry.

Li Xun nodded, understanding what Zhu Zhengguo meant.

"Brother Zhu, last time you said in your letter that the inspection institute may be expanded and upgraded, how is it now?"

Zhu Zhengguo and Li Xun have always corresponded with letters, and the last time Zhu Zhengguo wrote to Li Xun that the inspection institute might be expanded to 5,000 people, and the commander in charge would be promoted to the fourth grade.

If Liu Bishen didn't leave, with his background, the title of commander would probably fall to him, but now, Liu Bigray has been transferred.

"The preliminary preparations have been made, the recruitment and integration of 5,000 people have been completed, and now we are waiting for the official documents of the Ministry of War to be issued."

Li Xun asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhu Zhengguo shook his head: "I have asked Li Zhongquan to inquire about the news, the Ministry of War is still discussing, the left minister Li Zhong means to select people from within the inspection institute, and the right attendant of the military department, Zhan Tai Yi Heng, means to transfer generals from outside, the two have different opinions, and the question of the selection of the commander of the inspection institute cannot be decided for the time being." ”

Li Xun didn't speak after hearing this, although Zhu Zhengguo didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was obvious, there were three commanders in the Inspection Yuan, Liu Bishen, he and Yan Yi, Liu Bishen was about to leave, if someone was selected from within to be promoted to commander, then it could only be chosen between Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi, no matter which of the two of them became the commander, the result would be the same.

Yan Yi said at this time: "It's better to settle this matter quickly, otherwise when I leave, an outsider will take over the inspection yard, and Brother Zhu may be unable to deal with the situation alone." ”

Zhu Zhengguo said with a smile: "It's not that serious, the thousand soldiers in my hands, Brother Dog has a great kindness to them, and the cohesion is very strong, no matter who is the commander, they don't dare to do anything to me easily." ”

Li Xun glanced at Yan Yi, some time ago, Yu Wenzhen asked Zhu Zhengguo for help in some private matters, Zhu Zhengguo asked Yan Yi to lead some cronies to do it, and somehow, Yu Wenzhen actually appreciated Yan Yi very much, personally found Li Zhong, transferred him to the forbidden army, and the transfer document has been issued, Yan Yi is now handing over the work in hand, and after it is completed, he will go to Yu Wenzhen to report immediately.

Li Xun looked at Zhu Zhengguo and said: "Let this go in advance, in two days, I will ask someone to inquire and see if I can push you up, if you become the commander of the inspection institute, we are in the capital, and we can be regarded as some confidence." ”

Zhu Zhengguo nodded.

Several people chatted and chatted, and Zhu Zhengguo suddenly mentioned Sima Tu.

Li Xun was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly talk about this person?" ”

Zhu Zhengguo said: "Sima Tu is now locked up in the Criminal Department, his wife found me and asked for help, I went to the Criminal Department to inquire, the crime is not light, I have no ability to help him, he seems to have been with you before, so let's talk about it, you can do it yourself." ”

Li Xun shook his head and said lightly: "I can't protect myself now, where can I take care of others." ”

Zhu Zhengguo glanced at Li Xun and didn't say much, Li Xun obviously didn't want to help with this.
