Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xu County.

Now that Emperor Liu Xie has set the capital in Xu County, all the institutions are gradually restored, and the construction of the palace is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

But Liu Xie himself is not in the inner city now.

After disguise, accompanied by Dong Cheng, Cao Cao and others, he came to a very ordinary house in the west of the city.

Because here, a man who has come from a long journey is waiting for him.

I don't know who lived in this house in the past, but I can see that the owner hasn't been back for a long time.

This location was chosen by Cao Cao, and it was already surrounded by guards disguised as various identities.

Dong Cheng pushed open the door, and Liu Xie walked in slowly.

Bypassing the screen, Liu Xie stopped, and Cao Cao and the others guarded beside him, waiting quietly.

In the main hall facing the courtyard screen, an old man appeared.

The four sages of the North General Hall of the Eve Front, Zhang Jian, and Zhang Yuanjie.

This meeting was requested by Liu Xie on his own initiative.

As the nominal supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, he felt it was time to meet Ye Feng.

……

"See Your Majesty." As he spoke, the four sages laboriously prepared to kneel.

"Virtuous old man doesn't have to," Liu Xie motioned to Dong Cheng to step forward to help, "Virtuous old man is loyal to the Han family, and he is old, so let's dispense with these etiquette." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four sages stood up straight with Dong Cheng's support.

A trace of sadness flashed in Liu Xie's heart.

Is this the legend that once fought for the Han all his life?

In this way, it looks no different from the old man of ordinary people, or rather, it is more kind.

"I've heard about what Elder Xian and Yefeng are doing, and I'm deeply admired. If the virtuous old man does not give up, he might as well sit down with me. ”

With that, Liu Xie sat down at the stone table in the courtyard by himself.

The four sages hesitated for a moment, and sat down with him.

Cao Cao and the others just stood aside quietly.

"I heard that your Yefeng Northern Hall has been completely destroyed, and I feel sorry for it."

"There is a difference in morality, and it is difficult to find one. It's just that he can no longer share the worries of the Han family, and the old minister feels guilty. "In the hearts of the four sages, they always regard themselves as a courtier of the Han family.

"In troubled times, it is rare for a virtuous old man to be loyal to the country and uphold righteousness for the people. Today, though you are in trouble, I do not want to see it perished. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. But I'm afraid that my Yefeng's savings for decades will not be able to recover in one day. ”

The four sages didn't want to rebuild Yefeng, but now with the remaining manpower and material resources, it was a fool's dream.

"Hehe, Elder Xian and a few other loyal and good people can build the momentum of Yefeng at that time with their own strength, and it can already be passed on as a good story. It's just that the virtuous old man has ever thought that with the identity of the people alone, how can he shake the traitors of the troubled times? ”

Looking at Liu Xie's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the four sages also seemed to be able to guess a few points.

"What does Your Majesty want?"

Liu Xie smiled, shook the hands of the four sages and said, "The sages have been loyal to the Han family all their lives, how can they end up nameless?" ”

After speaking, Liu Xie sat up straight and said solemnly: "Pass on my life, add the four sages as the captains of the guard, take charge of the palace guards, and only listen to my own orders." After the palace was renovated, the four sages entered the palace with me to discuss major matters. ”

After the announcement of an imperial order, the four sages did not react for a while.

Immediately after, he finally fully understood Liu Xie's words.

The body of the fourth elder began to tremble, and in his lifetime, he did not expect that he would be lucky enough to enter the Han court again, and he would also be able to accompany the emperor to discuss great plans.

The old man's eyes gradually moistened, and the four old sages struggled to control their emotions and stood up tremblingly.

"The old minister bowed to the emperor." And as he spoke, he knelt down again.

Liu Xie hurriedly stepped forward and dragged it in person, pressed the back of the four sages with one hand, and said with a smile: "The world is in chaos, I don't want to see Zhongliang wandering all over the world, the sages can notify the old subordinates scattered everywhere to come and run, I will be reused!" ”

Mingjun! Holy Monarch!

The four sages had no other thoughts at this time except for excitement.

This is the blessing of Emperor Gaozu! The Han family has not declined, and the Han family has produced another generation of masters!

Although Dong Cheng and Cao Cao were at odds, at this time, they also showed a knowing smile......

————————————————

But not everyone is like them, and they still believe in the future of the Han family.

Sizhou, Hanoi County and Henan Yin junction, the main stream of the Yellow River.

"Second son, I didn't expect the fourth sage to be able to ask me to come back with you." Liang Qi said as he looked at the river on the boat.

"Hehe, I believe that Jia Kui must have informed the four sages of his suspicions. In that case, why would he keep you, a restless fellow, with him? ”

Sima Yi took advantage of the oncoming wind, took a deep breath, turned his head and smiled at Liang Yi.

After entering the Sizhou border, Sima Yi decided to return west by boat.

First, you don't have to suffer from the ride, and second, you can also relax your mood and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Before the four sages left for Yuzhou, Sima Yi had already left.

He doesn't have a good impression of Yefeng, and it won't help him to stay longer.

Now Sima Yi just wants to return home as soon as possible and read through the two ancient books. Rather than being in the midst of the chaos of the world, it is better to keep quiet and wait for the times to change.

Now Sizhou is relatively stable, happy to be idle for a while, why bother smart people.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

I'm afraid that my own heart is no different from that of a septuagenarian.

Liang Yi didn't know Sima Yi's thoughts, in his opinion, this child had too many things that did not match his age.

Whether it's strategy, wisdom or ...... Ambition.

But Liang Qi believes that the choice of the Sima family, who is famous and talented, is not wrong.

Compared with Yefeng's gloomy past, it seems that the current day is more suitable for him.

Thinking of this, Liang Qi's mood didn't feel much better.

He also learned from Sima Yi to take a deep breath, and the wind brought the pleasant freshness of the river.

————————————————

If someone is idle, someone will be busy.

Baili Yan, who is now in Jiangdong, is one of them.

I thought that Sun Quan's order for Pan Zhang to strictly guard the Yangtze River was only temporary, but I didn't want this patrol to become the norm.

Fortunately, she and her subordinates had already made contact with the Ten Sages Old Yu Ji and reached an agreement.

Now, the three subordinates under the late Night Shuai Weiyun, except for Yuexian, have all sworn to follow Baili Yan.

Compared with the Ten Virtuous Elders, they are of course more willing to trust the people of their own main hall.

Of course, this is meant in private. On the surface, they still listened to the advice of the ten sages.

What they are planning now is how to cooperate with Wang Langli when Sun Ce is enterprising, and kill Sun Ce by surprise.

Xuan Qiu had already verbally informed the Ten Sages of Yu Xuan's plan.

To be honest, this kind of strategy that hurts yin morality is also a little disgusted by the poisonous Baili Yan.

These ten sages and elders are too casual in employing people, and they even accept such vicious people for their own use.

Now, though, that's not what she's going to think about.

All she had to do was to seek a safe place by cooperating with the Ten Sages before Long Yi recovered from his injuries.

When the dragon is healed, there is no need to worry a lot, just take a detour and leave.

……

Only now, it is necessary to show sufficient sincerity.

"Virtuous Elder, I think this plan is good, but it is still insufficient." Bai Li Yan thought about it and said.

"Oh? Fan Shuai said bluntly. ”

To be honest, there are indeed not many people who are wise and resourceful under the old ten sages. After all, he is based on religion, and among his subordinates, there are more people who have firm beliefs.

"Sun Ce is going, and there will be no shortage of soldiers and horses. It is a good plan to set fire to the enemy, but the other party is Sun Ce, and with his temper, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not break the boat and attack the city with all his might. If that happens, the defenders of the city may not be able to cope with it. ”

"Hmm......" After hearing Yu's plan, the ten sages also had this concern. At this time, it was proposed by Bai Liyan, which proved that he didn't just think of it.

Since everyone here has thought of it, Yu Fu must have thought of it a long time ago, but why didn't he mention it?

"Virtuous elder, there is something I don't know whether to say."

"It's handsome, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Can the virtuous old man protect his loyalty......

There are some things that can't be said too clearly. In fact, everyone already knows what it means, and the disadvantage of blindly expanding the establishment is that it is too messy.

"The old man knows the meaning of the handsome. Let's do it for the time being, let the old man think about it, and I'll come back tomorrow to discuss? ”

"It's okay, then I'll retire first."

……

Back at their quarters, Bai Li Yan sat down on a chair a little tiredly, supported her forehead with one hand and sighed, and motioned for everyone to go back and rest.

All the subordinates turned around and left, but Yan Xue didn't move.

"What, is there anything else?" Bai Li Yan put down his palm and asked.

"Mishuai, there is something that has always troubled my heart, I thought about it, and decided to ask."

"Hehe, it doesn't have to be that way. Now that we are living in Jiangdong, we are like a family, and we have something to say. ”

"Mi Shuai really wants to help the ten sages fight a battle?"

"I wish I hadn't. It can be seen that the wound of the dragon is still three months if it is to heal, I am afraid that it will take three months. ”

"But...... I'm worried that the Ten Sages will ......"

"Are you afraid that he will keep his own people and let me wait to be a pioneer?"

"It turns out that the fan is handsome." Yan Xue was surprised.

"How can you not think of everything under your command? I did think about it. ”

"Why is the fan still ......?"

"If you are in enemy territory, you can have more allies, and you will have fewer enemies. If we help him Yu Ji, there may be damage, but if we don't help him, with the current situation, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out. ”

"Abandon the son and give birth...... Yan Xue was a little gloomy, after all, this approach deviated from Ye Feng's righteousness.

Of course, Yan Xue, as a subordinate, has closer contact with ordinary subordinates, and her thoughts will of course be different from Baili Yan's.

Maybe in the hearts of these night commanders, they are no different from ordinary night blade members, for them, they are just a "subordinate".

Without asking anything more, Yan Xue said goodbye to Baili Chang and returned to her residence.

However, she is even more unclear about her future.
