Chapter 661: The Old Man
"Don't worry too much about it, Ipsouran just happened to be encountered."
Li Xun waved his hand, he was not a person who wanted to repay his kindness, and he didn't want to dwell on this topic.
"Wang Chengzong, this time you were transferred to the Imperial Forest Army, you can be regarded as having your own future, you must cherish this opportunity, for yourself and for the sake of Ipsulan."
Wang Chengzong nodded silently, bowed deeply to Li Xun again, and then stepped forward to pull Ipsulan away.
Zhang Jin came to Longyou with Zhao Tong this time, unlike the other two observation deputy envoys, Zhang Jin was not an empty shelf, but came with a task, that is, to go to the west of Longyou, select two thousand elite soldiers, return to Fengjing with him, and enrich the ranks of the Imperial Forest Army, Wang Chengzong is one of them, he fought in the Western Regions, with the great merit of killing the enemy's head Zhan Bai, was promoted to Lang General by Li Xun, and now he is valued by Zhang Jin, with this credit, he went to the Royal Forest Army, and it will not take long for him to be promoted again, for Wang Chengzong, this is indeed a very promising future, perhaps better than following Li Xun.
Of course, Zhang Jin also valued Li Cunxiao and Lei Wanhai, the two also consulted Li Xun's opinion, and the final decision was to refuse Zhang Jin's invitation, the reason is very simple, the two of them are different from Wang Chengzong, Li Cunxiao and Lei Wanhai will only be stronger than Wang Chengzong and not worse than Wang Chengzong in terms of ability and strength, but the two of them, Li Xun's imprint is too deep, and when they go to Yulinwei, they will only be suspicious and suppressed by many people, but they are not happy and free in the Western Regions Longyou.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Li Xun and the others continued to hurry.
Along the way, the officials of the seven states and counties in the western part of Longyou, for Li Xun's passing, some people showed great enthusiasm, went out of the city to greet them, and some people turned a blind eye, Li Xun did not care, and the officials who showed enthusiasm for themselves, Li Xun actively responded, and the gifts and silver were all received, and some people who were indifferent to themselves, and even some people who were quite gloating, Li Xun also treated them with indifference.
After walking for half a month, Li Xun and his entourage came to Huizhou, which is the critical place to enter the Guannei Road, one step forward is the Central Plains, and one step back is Longyou.
When there were still more than thirty miles away from Huizhou City, Li Xun ordered everyone to stop for the time being, waiting for the return of the scouts.
"Madam, your horseback riding skills are getting better and better."
Li Xun and You Min rode horses for a walk, perhaps about to enter the Guannai and return to Fengjing, where was his home, so Li Xun was in a particularly good mood, and from time to time his laughter could be heard.
You Min said angrily: "Of course, if it weren't for my daughter's body, my abilities and achievements would be stronger than yours." ”
Li Xun said with a smile: "Of course, Madame is much stronger than me, but I don't know, Madame is stronger than me, do you mean right away or under the horse?" ”
You Min threw a flattering look at Li Xun: "Look at your dead appearance, you will only bully our woman's family." ”
Li Xun smiled and was about to continue joking, but there was the sound of horses' hooves not far away, and he hurriedly looked back, but saw dozens of cavalry galloping towards this side.
"Husband, there are a lot of people who want to kill you, so be careful."
Yu Min looked at the cavalry and warned him.
Li Xun smiled and said lightly: "Madame, don't worry, there are indeed many people who want to kill me, I'm afraid they don't have the courage." ”
As they spoke, the two rode back to the camp.
A moment later, the cavalry team came closer, and Li Xun saw clearly that it was the scouts he had sent out, and he was immediately relieved.
The battle against the crown prince Zhao Xun has reached a very critical and fierce moment, this time is also the most sensitive period, any occurrence of anything will cause a chain reaction, because of Li Guifei, Li Xun is undoubtedly the core figure of the crown prince Zhao Xun, at this time, any accident he has will cause a huge shock, so, whether it is the Yiwang or the Yang family, it is unlikely that they will choose to make a move against Li Xun at this time, but there is always a case for things, as long as it does not arrive in Fengjing for a day, Li Xun couldn't let his guard down for a day.
Li Xun was surprised to find that Ouyang Li, who had not been seen for many days, had returned with the scout team.
"Ouyang Li, see the lord."
Ouyang Li turned over and dismounted, kneeling on the ground and saluting.
Li Xun stretched out his hand to help him up, and then listened to the report of the scout captain.
As early as two days ago, You Chong, the governor of Huizhou, sent 5,000 soldiers to guard in a radius of dozens of miles, and the scout had just met with You Chong himself, and when he learned of Li Xun's arrival, You Chong asked the scout to go back to report that he would personally greet and wait for Li Xun's arrival outside the city.
After listening to the news of the scout captain, Li Xun nodded, and then looked at Ouyang Li: "When did you arrive in Huizhou, why didn't you have any news beforehand?" ”
Ouyang Li arched his hand and said: "Lord, I have already set off from Fengjing half a month ago, and I have inquired about the news along the way to prepare for the safety of my lord. ”
"What's going on between the Wing King and the Yang family?"
"They are very active in the secret posts of various parts of Kannai Province during this time, but they are not aimed at the lord, but they are afraid that someone has other intentions and aims at the lord, so that they themselves will fall into a crisis."
Li Xun sneered, the two factions of the Yang family and the Wing King are obviously very afraid that something will happen to them at this time, and now they are very sensitive, and any situation that arises on their own will only harm the Yang family and the Wing King faction and not do any good, they will only hope that they will arrive in Fengjing safely, and if they want to deal with themselves, that is also a matter of the future, not now.
The news was clear, Li Xun's team continued to move forward, and when it was about ten miles away from Huizhou City, a cavalry of thousands of people came to meet him, Li Xun raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then looked into the distance, it should be You Chong.
You Chong and You Min are from the same family, but one is from the side branch, and the other is from the lineage.
By the time of You Chong's father's generation, his branch had completely declined, no different from the poor, and the relationship with You Mingyuan's family had been quite estranged, but fortunately, the You family has always had a tradition, that is, as long as they are descendants of the You family, whether they are concubines or not, how far the relationship is, as long as they are still in the family tree, their descendants can study for free in the academy run by the family, whether it is literary or martial, if the grades are excellent, they can also get a fairly good living allowance from the family, This kind of system is prevalent in many large families, in order to discover the potential talents in the clan, but also to unite the unity of the family, so that those who are born from the side branches have a stronger sense of belonging to the main family.
You Chong is this kind of person, relying on his own efforts, step by step, at the age of less than forty, sitting on the post of governor of Huizhou, which is already very valuable.
