"! Could it be that the group of overfed steppe wolves have come to invade my northern border again? It's not right, a few days ago, we just talked about the specific matters of marriage and marriage, and His Majesty also sealed the second prince Yan Qinghong, in order to marry the general, this matter can already be said to be a certainty. Now it is the spring famine season again, and at this time, there is no benefit at all from the offense. Such a thankless task, that old fox of Bormu Khan would not do. ”

Li Deng stood up and couldn't stop analyzing himself. Caught in thought, his eyes kept wandering, but he didn't look at Zhang Huangling, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Master...... The spies reported that most of the causes of death were throat cuts in the back, and there were also ...... who were killed by hidden weapons. ”

Li Deng nodded when he heard this:

"It can't be an accident, but it goes straight to them...... Just now you said that it was because the prince gave him 100,000 taels of silver that you would lend him a small team of men? ”

"Yes. But the Flying Tiger Army was originally only under the orders of the Yan family, and I, the commander, are just an empty shelf until now, and the prince can discuss this with me, which is already considered a very polite ......."

Li Deng kicked Zhang Huangling, who was rebutting, to the ground, and then went up to make up for it in anger, and scolded in his mouth:

"Idiot! Foolish as a pig and a dog! On the bright side, including Zhang Huangling, every feather arrow in the Flying Tiger Camp belongs to His Majesty. Now you only don't have a tiger talisman to transfer troops, you don't have a holy decree, and you don't even have a single edict, and you dare to transfer troops privately? ”

"But after all, it's the prince......"

"Shit! Youbei is qualified to ask you to send troops, and only Emperor Xuande is alone! You have such a big thing happening now, can the prince protect you? From the time you got the news to the time you are standing in front of me now, this time is enough time for the Imperial Horse Supervisor to sort out the detailed case files! I'm afraid that Lu Xiangyin has already fallen asleep at this time! ”

Now Zhang Huangling, who has a little knowledge of the stakes, is already sweating like rain, and he can't kneel steadily. He hurriedly crawled to Li Deng's feet, and as if grasping some life-saving straw, he said eagerly:

"Master! I still have 100,000 taels of official silver sent by the prince as evidence! Prince, he doesn't dare not protect me...... Otherwise, I'll ...... it all."

Li Deng flicked his sleeves, gave him another kick, pointed at Zhang Huangling, who was terrified, and said:

"You're going to die of this heart! Let me tell you clearly, the 100,000 taels of silver were deducted by the prince directly to the household department, and there is no account record at all! And that amount of silver, which was originally used by the shamans to build the main altar, also contained 20,000 gifts from His Majesty's inner treasury! And the prince sent the 100,000 taels of hot silver into your hands, which was used to buy you a dog's life! He wants to leave a way back for himself, in case of an accident, so that he can take you to blame! ”

Li Deng gritted his teeth and gurgled, and pointed at Zhang Huangling, who was lost in his soul.

Zhang Huangling's current appearance seems to have accepted his fate. He sat cross-legged dejectedly, and looked at Li Deng with tears in his eyes and smiled miserably:

"Master, it doesn't matter if Huang Ling raided his family and exterminated his family. But I'm afraid that your name will be ruined...... After dawn, you will personally tie me up and go to the Qinzheng Palace to ask for guilt, you can rest assured, let him be tortured by the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the clan mansion, and I can't say a single word 'Li' in my mouth! In order to repay the cultivation grace of the Li family, I will show you a reassuring ...... before leaving."

After that, he took out a dagger from his bosom, and pulled out his tongue with his left hand; In his right hand, he grasped the dagger tightly and went straight to the base of his tongue.

Seeing this, Li Deng frowned, flew up and kicked on his right hand, and the dagger flew out with force, and landed with a few crisp sounds.

"It's not yet to the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, you let me think about it again, go back to the Flying Tiger Army camp first, and I'll send someone to pass you on when I have eyebrows."

At this time, Zhang Huangling's tongue had been cut open, and when he heard Li Deng's words, his blood-covered face couldn't help but show a trace of ecstasy, and then he kept kowtowing his head "bang":

"Thank you for saving the master, Huang Ling has known since he was a child that as long as you make a move, no matter what kind of thing you can do, you can eliminate the invisible ......"

Li Deng looked at his bloody forehead and mouth full of blood, recalling the time when they grew up together, and he couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart. So he took out a plain silk handkerchief from his arms and threw it on Zhang Huangling's face, and said with a wry smile:

"Go back and stop the bleeding, and then make more trouble for me!"

Zhang Huangling burst into tears in an instant, and said a superfluous word, and walked out of the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his waist bent.

And Li Deng in the room no longer felt sleepy, and instructed Li Fu to take a silver fox and put it on, and walked in the direction of the study.

"Fu, why do you say that child is so abnormal?"

"Xiangye, I just ordered the kitchen to stew Guangnan Yanzhan for you, and it will be fine in a while."

"I just provoked Bag, and now I am calculating Zhang Huangling, why?"

"You've been sleeping a little little lately, when did you meet Imperial Doctor Sun in the palace, ask him to prescribe you a few prescriptions for calming your mind."

"Transferred troops to Zhongshan, but was beaten and annihilated, who is he trying to do? And who is the one who kills the people? ”

"Tobacco and alcohol should also be controlled, I will dry and store all the tobacco leaves sent to me tomorrow, and you can use it when you are better."

"It is a taboo for the prince to transfer troops privately, and if Lu Xiangyin knows, His Majesty also knows; And the Flying Tiger Army folded in Zhongshan, which also caused trouble for Pei Ya; Withholding the money from the household is aimed at the bagh, which is tantamount to making an enemy of shamanism; The prince has provoked everything he can provoke...... But why is that? ”

Li Fu put the bird's nest he had just picked up in front of him, and gently stirred it with a spoon a few times:

"Let it cool before using it. Master, Li Fu didn't understand. You just said that all those troubles were caused by the young master, but why did they all run to your side? ”

Li Deng, who was blowing bird's nest, was stunned when he heard this, his eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly smiled with a realized smile:

"I see. Li Fu, you can see through it. ”

Li Deng only felt that his appetite was great, first drank two bowls of bird's nest, and then threw the brocade robe and silver fox on his body at will, not caring about the cold weather in early spring, pushing the door out, it was actually under the reflection of the moonlight, slowly playing a set of punches. After several punches, the white shirt on his body has been soaked through his sweat.

"Li Fu, boil water, bathe, change clothes!"

After a few words, Li Deng, who was still steaming hot on his head, looked up to the sky and laughed. And Li Le'an, who was grounded in the side yard, finally blew out the oil lamp in the boudoir in the early hours of the morning.

After dawn, Li Dengguan was neatly dressed, holding a purple pen in front of the desk in the study, and was writing stroke by stroke, when a light cough came from outside the door:

"Someone from the palace said that His Majesty ordered your errand today."

Emperor Xuande's practice was to meet every three days. Today is not the day of the last dynasty, but Emperor Xuande still sent a eunuch to the prime minister's mansion to invite Li Deng to enter the palace to speak. Li Deng was also ready, put down the pen in his hand gently, and smoothed the placket of his robe:

"Li Fu, tell the horse to prepare a sedan chair!"

After speaking, he pushed open the door of the study and strode towards the main entrance.

When it comes to spreads and the upper dynasty, it is a bright and dark relationship. On weekdays, when there is a court meeting, whether it is Yan Hunt, the son of heaven, Li Deng, the prime minister, or even Yan Jiuning, the great patriarch of the clan house, what they say and mention is the result of private consultations. And putting it on top of the court meeting and "performing" it again, that is, it is just a justifiable picture. Therefore, whether it is the official imperial history or the cannon fodder like Wan Changning, he has never been liked by Emperor Xuande. There is no other reason, because these people often do not know what to do, but they are coerced by the laws of the country and stand on the court to attack wantonly. In Yan Hunt's heart, this kind of behavior is not only childish and useless, but also undignified.

And this kind of private spread is really the main battlefield for several parties to wrestle with each other. At this time, Li Deng had just walked into the Winter Warm Pavilion, and he saw Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt in civilian clothes, looking at him like water; Ba Ge and Yan Jiuning, who were standing on the side, bowed their heads and were silent.

At this time, at the feet of Emperor Xuande, there was a commander of the Flying Tiger Army who was half kneeling and half lying on his stomach

This person is the scholar who grew up with Li Deng since he was a child-Zhang Huangling.
