"Father-in-law, you said that Da Zhou can still be saved?"

Ji Changluo had already left the palace, and Princess Shiyi turned to Xiao Xizi and asked.

Princess Shiyi's instantly pale little face made Gonggong Xi feel distressed, and he also felt the same way, wiped the red circles under his eyes, and said: "The slave maid only hopes that His Royal Highness is healthy, and the other slaves and maids can't figure it out..."

"It's not that you don't understand, you just don't say it! Everyone in the world knows that the current Great Zhou has reached the end of its rope, and the so-called emperor is just a pitiful worm to be manipulated..."Princess Shiyi muttered to herself.

"Your Highness..."

Father-in-law Xi still wanted to persuade, but he didn't know how to speak.

After waiting for half a ring, Gonggong Xi finally asked: "Your Highness, the Han Mansion has sent an invitation to invite you to the Han Gong to attend the dinner, you see... Shall we go or not! ”

"Go! Anyway, Han Gong is kind to our master and servant, since Han Gong invited, there is no reason not to go, let's go! By the way, take a look at the world-famous Wenchen fierce generals under the command of the Duke of Han! ”

Say it! Princess Shiyi slowly stepped down from her seat, and Gonggong Xi hurriedly followed behind Princess Shiyi.

......

After Su Cang left, Liu De sat with his three advisors, and Liu De asked, "What does this Su Cang mean?" Wouldn't it be like he said, just come and congratulate yourself! Is Li Yun so kind? ”

Xun Yu said unhurriedly: "The minister has not been able to analyze what Mr. Su means for a while, this Mr. Su is knocking on the side to ask whether we want to attack the puppet emperor, I am afraid there is another deep meaning!" ”

"If I look at it, then Li Yun is definitely suspicious, maybe he wants to attack us! After all, the lord is about to unify Hebei and occupy the land of the four states, with the strength of the lord, who can compare? And Li Yun and us are only separated by a river, so close at hand! ”

Jian Yong was chewing a small snack in his mouth on the side, not taking a sip of hot tea, but quite carefree.

"Old Jane, where did you deduce that Li Yun had the intention to attack me?" Liu De asked.

Jian Yong hiccuped, and what he said almost made Liu De angry, "I guess!" ”

Xu Shu added: "Then Li Yun sent Su Cang over and gave Mrs. Li a large amount of dowry, not like he wanted to be an enemy of us, but he wanted to make friends..."

"Maybe it's just to paralyze us!"

Jian Yong said again.

Xu Shu said: "Then Li Yun is a teacher, doesn't it make the world laugh?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head at this time and said: "Li Yun has Emperor Zhou in his hands, and it is not easy to make the teacher famous?" ”

Xun Yu suggested to Liu De: "It's best for the lord to send Gong Weisi to Danzhou to check the situation and train soldiers and horses to be in order!" ”

"Okay, just according to the military advisor!"

Liu De nodded in response.

......

"Mrs. Lee..."

Su Cang bowed.

"Why should Brother Su be so polite, the Li and Su families are world friends, and I was still running around behind the eldest brother and you back then!" Although Li Lan was smiling, her eyes were already red, obviously Su Can's arrival did make Li Lan cry with joy, which meant that she could finally get rid of the hat of elopement.

You don't have to be talked about in the back.

"yes, I think we brothers and sisters were really carefree at the beginning..."

Su Cang also fell into memories and sighed for a while.

Li Lan wiped the corners of her eyes and asked, "Brother, are they still in good health with their grandmother?" ”

"It's all good, it's all good, it's just that the old lady misses you very much..."Su Cang said.

Li Lan is as powerful as a man, but after all, she is still a girl, and when she heard Su Mo talk about her grandmother, she suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and cried.

Cai Wei, Li Lan's personal maid on the side, hurriedly stroked Li Lan's shoulder and comforted her softly, and even glared at Su Cang viciously.

Su Cang was also angry that he was quick to talk for a while, why did he mention this.

"I'm fine!" Li Lan took the handkerchief handed over by Cai Wei, wiped the tears hanging on her cheeks, and forced a smile.

Cai Wei still said to Su Cang with an angry face: "Master Su, my wife is tired, you better go back first!" If there is anything you can tell the slave or maid. ”

Seeing Li Lan's appearance, Su Cang swallowed what he wanted to say, and handed the bamboo book in his hand to Cai Wei, "This is the dowry given by Ming Gong to Mrs. Li, you collect it for Mrs. Li, and I'll go first." ”

"Got it!"

Cai Wei bowed slightly and sent Su Cang away.

……

It was night, and the Han Mansion was brightly lit, and rows of candles were lit, as bright as day.

A table of cases is placed on both sides of the main hall, but fortunately the space in the hall is large enough, otherwise the tables are not enough, but even if this is the case, the number of cases in the back is nearly fifty meters away from the first seat in the front, if the hall is a little noisy, it is difficult to hear in the back.

Ladies and ladies walked up and down the hall, trays in their hands, and plates were filled with exquisite dishes and jugs of fine wine, exuding an enticing aroma.

In addition to inviting the military generals and officials in the city, Liu De also invited the heads of major families, the princess Shiyi, who had a special identity, and Ji Changluo and Su Cang, the envoys of the imperial court and the Duke of Wei.

Ji Changluo and Su Cang came together, which was considered to be earlier, and because of the special identity of the two, they were arranged to the first two and third positions, and the first position was reserved for Princess Shiyi.

Su Cang brought someone over, the banquet held by Liu De was a family banquet, and he could bring his family, Su Cang as the envoy of the envoy, of course, had no family members, but he still brought the deputy envoy who accompanied him, the deputy envoy was from the Han family, surnamed Han Zhuo, was a military general, and martial arts were also a small master under Li Yun, responsible for guarding Su Cang's safety.

Han Meimei, the daughter of the Han family, married Li Lei, the fourth eldest of the Li family.

Su Cang pointed to the military generals on the opposite side of the fourth case, and introduced: "This person is Bai Qi, who is the mighty Beizhou and annihilated nearly 70,000 Hu people. ”

Han Zhuo suddenly, after all, he was young, and he was a little afraid of Bai Qi's momentum, as a military general, Han Zhuo could feel the murderous aura and blood of Ling Ran on Bai Qi's body, this was a fierce general killed in the sea of corpses in the mountain of corpses.

"And who's at the third table?"

Han Zhuo asked, "I don't remember that there were such figures under the command of Han Gong?" The rank is above Bai Qi! ”

"This?" Su Cang looked at the man who was talking to Bai Qi in a whisper, and thought for a moment: "I don't know this person, but I think there is only one person above Bai Qi!" ”

"Who is it?"

"General Tuogu, the auxiliary general, the head of the four British generals of Dongyu back then, Zhang Tianlang!" Su Cang groaned.

"I have no impression of this person..."

Han Zhuo thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said.

"Zhang Tianlang's reputation is not significant in Henan and Hebei, but he is stationed in Dongyu all the year round to guard against Donghu." As Li Yun's Chinese military division, Su Cang obviously has a basic understanding of the generals of the major forces.

"I see!"

Han Zhuo said suddenly: "This General Zhang must be relied on by the Duke of Han, otherwise he would not have been guarding Dongyu for several years, which is the gateway between Yanzhou and the grassland." ”

"Who can say for sure!"

Su Cang meant something.

Han Zhuo was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Then Guan Yu took his wife to the seat below Bai Qi, and only arched his hand to Zhang Tianlang, and said nothing to Bai Qi, which made Su Cang's eyes light up when he had been observing the generals.

"Mr. Sue!"

Su Cang heard the voice of the call, and when he saw the comer, he hurriedly got up and said, "It turned out to be Xu Junshi, polite!" ”

The one who came was Xu Shu, although the two had a dispute in the Han Mansion, it did not prevent Xu Shu from greeting Su Cang, and the world of literati may be more complicated than that of martial artists.

Xu Shu lifted his robe, took his wife and children to sit next to Su Cang, counting from the right, ranking fourth.

Behind Xu Shu was Jian Yong, who looked like a little hanger, and also said hello to Su Can, and Su Su also returned the salute.

After that, Su Cang continued to introduce the generals under Liu De to Han Zhuo.

Han Zhuo's eyes were sharp, and he actually saw a woman sitting among the generals, quite heroic and pretty.

"Su Junshi, who is that woman? is actually in the pile of generals, occupying a position alone, and it doesn't look like someone else's family? Han Zhuo hurriedly asked.

Su Cang glanced at it and said: "If my expectations are correct, that woman is Che Yan, the commander of the Hanging Mirror Division, one of the two major intelligence organizations under the command of the Duke of Han, I just heard about it, but I have never seen it, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Duke of Han to be so bold as to let a woman hold such an important position." ”

Su Cang said, as the chief Shi Xun Yu under Liu De, he also came to the main hall with his family, not to stop talking with everyone, and when he walked to the position of Su Cang and Ji Changluo, he bowed slightly and said: "Ji Zongzheng, Su Junshi." ”

The two also returned the salute: "Xun Changshi..."

"This Xun Yu Xun Changshi is really a gentleman, sitting with him, I can't talk for three days and three nights, it's a pity, it's a pity..."

"Strategist, what is the pity?" Han Zhuo asked.

Su Cang shook his head and said nothing.

"Han Gong has arrived!"

The guards at the door shouted, and all the generals in the hall got up one after another, and said to Liu De, who walked into the hall: "The ministers meet the lord!" ”

Liu Delong walked with great momentum, supporting Chen Shuo, with many concubines, walking forward, Liu De stretched out a hand and waved down, "Everyone is seated, this is a family banquet, and the generals don't need to be polite." ”

"Yes, the ministers are commanded!"

The generals shouted in unison.

Su Cang looked around, saw the expressions of the generals in the palace at a glance, and sighed secretly in his heart, whether it was Zhang Tianlang, Bai Qi or Guan Yu and other generals, they were all convinced and respectful of Liu De, it seems that His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is absolutely dominant of the army.

Liu De slowly helped Chen Shuo to sit on the first seat, and then walked straight to the main seat of the main hall, Li Lan and Liu Jia sat on the left and right sides of Liu De, and the other concubines also sat in their own positions according to their status.

In the front Su Cang, you can still see Li Lan's slightly swollen eyes, although she wiped the foundation, she still couldn't cover them.

Xiao Liu Zhao, Xiao Liu Dun, Xiao Liu Ning, these two sons and one daughter were also brought to the palace, after all, it was a family banquet, and the children should also appear once, but because they were still young, the three children were quickly taken down by the nurse.

Princess Shiyi also sat in her place, Princess Shiyi came earlier than the others, but she went to the backyard to be with Liu De's concubines, and then came with Liu De.

Ji Changluo hurriedly saluted Princess Shiyi, and Princess Shiyi nodded and returned the salute.

The hall was unusually quiet, the needle could be heard, and everyone sat in their seats, waiting for Liu De to speak.

This gave Su Cang a deeper understanding of Liu De's prestige.

Liu De looked at Zhang Tianlang, who had a resolute face, and then looked at the two and a half adults beside him, and beckoned to the two: "Defend the country, Anguo, come forward!" ”

Zhang Weiguo and Zhang Anguo are twin brothers, both born to Zhang Tianlang's wife Qu, and to put it mildly, Zhang Tianlang and Qu's husband and wife have a very strong relationship, and Zhang Tianlang only has a wife, not even a concubine.

The two brothers both glanced at their father, Zhang Tianlang nodded, and motioned for the two to hurry up.

Liu De looked at the two brothers who were only half a head behind him and were about to catch up with him, but there was still a hint of immaturity on his face.

Liu De took the hands of the two brothers closely, looked at the two who looked almost the same, and asked the question that most people would ask: "Who is the elder brother of the two of you?" ”

The boy on Liu De's left raised his hand and said to Liu De: "Your Highness, I am my brother..."

"Okay!"

Liu Deyile, "I remember that you two only reached my thighs at the beginning, and now they are about to catch up with me, and now you are both fourteen years old, and your father was only fourteen or fifteen years old when he followed my grandfather to fight, you two must study and practice martial arts diligently, and in the future you will be a general who is as feared by the Hu people as your father!" ”

"Yes! We will definitely become great generals like our fathers! ”

The two brothers said in unison, quite imposing.

"Great goodness!"

Liu De turned his head to Zhang Tianlang and said, "You have two good sons!" ”

Zhang Tianlang hurriedly got up: "The minister is ashamed and dare not be, for fear that the godson has no way to be, and the minister will be ashamed!" ”

Liu De signaled, Dian Wei came to Liu De with two swords, Liu De picked up one of the swords, slowly pulled out, the blade glowed with cold light, and the hilt and scabbard were carved with gorgeous gilt patterns.

These two swords were carefully built by Liu De under the orders of the manufacturing department...

Kindness... In fact, it is not two, Liu De at least ordered Xu Hai to build nearly 100 of them, all of which were put in his treasury for reward, reward gold and silver, how can there be a reward sword with momentum.

In order to distinguish these swords from other swords, Liu De also deliberately carved a Chinese character on the blade, and there was a small seal of Liu De on the hilt of the sword to prove the preciousness of this sword.

Liu De sent the two swords to the hands of the two brothers and admonished: "Don't be arrogant and rash, you can become a big thing, don't let me down!" ”

The two brothers also solemnly bowed to Liu De and retreated.

Zhang Tianlang twisted his beard and whispered to his wife: "After a while, let Weiguo and Anguo enter the army!" ”

Qu's face was full of worry, "The child is still young, will it be too early!" ”

"It's not early, it's not early!"

Zhang Tianlang said.

Guan Ping looked at the sword in the hands of the two brothers, Wei Guo and An Guo, pulled his father's shirt and said, "Father, will I have that sword?" ”

"Yes, as long as you practice martial arts diligently, you will naturally have a sword given by the lord..."

Guan Yu is still relatively strict with Guan Ping, which can be regarded as hoping for his son to become a Chan, but occasionally he rarely shows his father's love.
