Chapter 104: Prime Minister's Night Talk
"Alas, the capital is different, I have never seen such a beautiful woman in Liangzhou, is it a fairy descending to earth?"
"You just talk nonsense, your sweet words have already made Ling Han dizzy, and now that Ling Han is not here, you are lying to me with nonsense?"
"Huh? It turned out to be General Xiaomin, sorry, sorry, I really didn't recognize it, you never wore women's clothes in Liangzhou. Since you are going to wear women's clothes today, you should tell me in advance, so that I can also be prepared, and there will not be a situation where I will not be unrecognizable for a while. ”
"You just pretend, I really don't know what Han'er likes about you? Does it seem loyal, or is it flamboyant? ”
"There's a lot of this, such as handsome and chic, and then talented?"
"If you don't pretend to be forced to die, you can't get in, and if you don't get in, I won't care about you."
"Hey, hey, Xiao Min, wait, you can't just leave me, a redneck, at the door as soon as you enter Beijing."
"Hehe, this sentence is still a bit self-aware."
Liu Fan originally thought that it was impossible to meet Li Min and Ling Han immediately, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Li Min at the door, and his feelings were that this girl had been waiting for him at the door, and his heart was a little moved for a while, but after being with Li Min for a long time, he knew that he couldn't say anything like thank you at this time, which would hurt the other party even more. But he couldn't say nothing, ignoring the sincerity of the other party, and immediately talked nonsense, which seemed to work well.
He also already understood that he was thinking about it in front of him, this was to Li Min's house, and it would be too much to say if she didn't come out to greet her, not to mention anything else, the two of them had a deep comradeship.
All the way to the Xiangfu compound with Li Min, although it is already nightfall, but the courtyard is as bright as day, all kinds of red lanterns are hung everywhere far and near, the eyes are full of a festive atmosphere, and the pattern of the courtyard is fundamentally different from the courtyard building in Liangzhou, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden in the trees and flowers, the beautifully designed artificial lake is different Taihu Lake strange stones, antique buildings are reflected on the lake, making people feel like they have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River......
"What are you looking at, looking all the way?"
"I have to remember the way, otherwise when I go out for a while, I will become Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and I can't go out."
"Who is Grandma Liu?"
"An old country woman."
"Oh, where are you going to go in a moment?"
"Go out and find an inn to stay in."
"Come on, you, how can there be an inn still waiting to open the door for General Liu. I've prepared a guest room for you, and I'll stay at my house tonight, if you don't want to live tomorrow, I'll send you to Ling Han's house, is that okay?" ”
After speaking, he looked at Liu Fan with a smile on his face.
"In what name do I go to live in Ling Han's house now, it's good if I don't beat me out with a stick."
"It's impossible, if you can find a fast son-in-law like you, Manager Guo must be very satisfied."
"Xiao Min, don't talk about it, it's too early to discuss this issue, let's go to the main room quickly, maybe your father is already anxious."
"Only now do I remember that my father was anxious, why did he look leisurely and complacent just now?"
Liu Fan glanced at Li Min strangely, how could this girl be so eloquent today, she couldn't say anything about her at all, yes, she just kept her mouth shut, see what else you can do!"
Seeing that Liu Fan was speechless by what he said, Li Min pursed his lips and smiled a little smugly, and he didn't squeeze the other party with words.
As soon as the two of them walked to the wide open space paved with one-foot-square blue bricks in front of the main house, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper had already walked up quickly and saluted Liu Fan respectfully, "Xiaomin, this is General Liu, right?" The master has asked several times, hurry up and get in! ”
"Uncle Chen, it's General Liu."
"Liu Fan, this is Uncle Chen Hu, and Uncle Chen is in charge of everything at home in the capital."
"Uncle Chen Hu? and Uncle Chen Long of the Shenwu Army A Brigade is ......"
"That's my brother, he follows Xiaomin, and I stay in Jingli all the time."
Liu Fan once asked Li Min privately, knowing that Uncle Chen, who is currently the commander of the A Brigade of the Shenwu Army, is called Chen Long, so he asked this question.
Waiting for Liu Fan and Chen Hu to greet each other, and waiting for the other party to report before they opened the curtain of the main room with Li Min and walked in, only to see the candlelight in the house was brilliant and charcoal, and Li Zongxiong was talking with a young prince in the hall, Liu Fan recognized it as Huang Shu, the second prince of Daqi. Seeing Liu Fan and Li Min coming in, the second prince and Li Zongxiong slowly stood up with smiles on their faces to greet them.
Liu Fan took a few steps and immediately knelt down on one knee, although the second prince saw Liu Fan's actions and quickly stepped forward to stop himself, but Liu Fan still insisted on giving a big salute to the two, he didn't dare to dare to hold on because of the early summoning of the two, these two people are almost all characters below one person and above ten thousand people, compared to them, Sima Duwei is just a petty official like a sesame grain, once he annoys them, cleaning himself up is as simple as pinching a flea to death, Moreover, he has always kept in mind the acquaintances of Li Zongxiong and Guo Huaide.
After sitting down with Li Min, Li Zongxiong saw Liu Fan take the tea soup handed by Chen Hu and drank a few sips before putting it down.
Li Zongxiong smiled and said to Li Min, "Min'er, you go out and ask your subordinates to prepare some supper, it seems that General Liu hasn't had dinner yet." ”
Liu Fan immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, my subordinate has already had an overnight meal at the post station, but my subordinate thinks that this is a rare and good tea, so he took two sips." ”
Li Min next to him whispered, "Sycophant, I don't know how to pretend to understand, you saw that this tea is good tea from there!" ”
Although Li Min deliberately lowered his voice to speak, the voice still came clearly into the ears of the three people, and the second prince heard Li Min's words, and immediately couldn't help but laugh. Li Zongxiong just took a sip of tea soup, he couldn't help but laugh, his old face was red, and finally he couldn't hold back, he sprayed all the tea soup to the ground, and coughed with his waist and back.
Li Min immediately grabbed it, stroked Li Zongxiong's back and said, "Dad, what are you in a hurry to drink water, and no one will rob you." ”
Li Zongxiong was angry and laughed, patted the table and said, "You have said all the good things to this girl, did you say this about General Liu?" ”
"Dad, don't be deceived by this person, this person looks loyal and honest, but in fact he is a ghost."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, go and tell your subordinates to bring a bowl of white fungus soup to General Xiao Liu."
When Li Min walked out, Li Zongxiong said, "I heard Min'er say that something happened on the road, it wasn't that you reacted quickly, and you almost made dumplings after being attacked, you can tell me and the second prince about this matter in detail, besides, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Liu Fan organized his language a little, and slowly told the two of them what happened in the middle from the time he entered the valley to the end of the interrogation of Mu Qing, the captain of the Chou Battalion of the C Brigade of the Longxiang Army, and how he had analyzed to Li Min, Ling Han and others afterwards and how he found that there might be an ambush in the valley.
After Liu Fan finished speaking, the two just nodded slightly, it seems that Li Min has already introduced these situations to the two of them in detail, and listened to them again at this time, just to confirm whether there was anything missing from Li Min's narrative.
Li Zongxiong spoke again, "How do you think they obtained the news of their assassination against you this time?" ”
"I'm just a little skeptical about this, because I know from Mu Qing's mouth that they ambushed a small army of the northwest camp, and this force may only have a few dozen people at most, and there are only more than a hundred people at most."
"When we left the camp parade and went to the capital on fast horses, the initial idea was only to lead more than 100 personal guards, which was completely consistent with their estimates, but that morning I made a temporary decision and asked Deputy General Manager Li for a cavalry guard to accompany us."
"Apparently they already knew about 'a small unit separated from the parade in the northwest camp, and this small unit came to the capital on fast horses,' and their ambush was obviously aimed at us."
"Because Deputy Chief Li decided to let me and Xiaomin lead the guards to the capital quickly after receiving the message from the capital, the news will not come out of the parade team, because it will not be too late to deploy, so the subordinate believes that the problem may lie in the two servants who came to deliver the message, or it may be that the news has leaked before they accept the order."
