The autumn breeze is blowing, the leaves are colorful, and in a blink of an eye, it is autumn.

The early autumn in the capital already has some coolness, especially at night, when the autumn wind blows, the coolness is even worse.

However, that night, the Chengguo Mansion was full of people and lively, because Yang Cong and Lu Bing were guests again.

Dingguo Duke Xu Yande actually doesn't have many friends at this time, because he is too young and his status is too high, the princes and nobles of the capital are almost old at this time, he is a young man, and he really can't play with others, and other people, like his age, there are few people whose status can be similar to him, he can't surrender his identity to make friends with those subordinates.

The words "bosom friend is hard to find" are the most appropriate to describe him, so after Yang Cong and Lu Bing, two promising young people, appeared, he quickly became one with these two people.

In these years, with an identity and status like him, it is really difficult to find friends, and it is even more difficult to find acquaintances, and Yang Cong and Lu Bing not only have a bright future, but more importantly, they can also help him, especially Yang Cong, who helped him keep his share of salt as soon as he made a move, such a young man, he naturally wants to make good friends.

Originally, it was Yang Congtou's visit on this day, saying that he was looking for help with something, but he was too busy to prepare a large table of banquets, and even Lu Bing invited him.

Actually, he didn't mean anything else, he just felt that Yang Cong and Lu Bing were the same age, and it was more enjoyable to drink with them, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

He deliberately made friends as the prince of the country, and Yang Cong and Lu Bing naturally would not refuse people thousands of miles away, so the three of them came and went, and they drank happily.

The wine was almost drunk, and everyone was a little floating, so Xu Yande was curious: "Qingfeng, didn't you say that you had something to ask me for help, what is it, why haven't you said it all the time?" ”

Yang Cong was a little embarrassed and said: "This, the junior brother has some private matters and wants to ask Brother Jing Zhai for help." ”

When Xu Yande heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, of course I know it's a private matter, if it's a business matter, how can I help you, I can't control your Hanlin Academy, hahahaha, what's the matter, what are you doing?" ”

Yang Cong hurriedly explained: "That's the case, the younger brother was originally going to go to Shanxi and pick up his parents to Beijing, but he didn't go with the emperor to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum, and after a while, I thought they should also arrive, so I put out the idea of going to Shanxi." I never thought that my father wrote yesterday, as if I was in some trouble over there, and I was in a hurry, so I wanted to go to Shanxi to help my father solve the trouble. However, most of Shanxi is a border town, and there are many border guards, and I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress those **, so I want to ask Brother Jing Zhai to help and introduce an acquaintance, preferably Shanxi Dusi or Shanxi Xingdusi, I also relied on it a little in the past, Brother Jingzhai, do you have any acquaintances over there? “

When Xu Yande heard this, he said embarrassedly: "This, I am in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Central Army, and the Shanxi Metropolitan Division and the Shanxi Xingdu Division are under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Later Army, and I really don't have any acquaintances over there." ”

Yes!

Yang Cong couldn't help frowning and said, "Brother Jing Zhai really doesn't have any acquaintances over there?" ”

It's a bit troublesome now, it's really possible that he can't control the Tunwei over there by a Hanlin Academy, but he knows very well that the good land in Shanxi is either in the hands of the Tun Wei or in the hands of the royal family, and he estimates that most of the trouble his father has is related to the good land, or there are no acquaintances over there, this matter is really difficult to do.

Xu Yande thought about it, and suddenly said in surprise: "By the way, Cui Hao, the eldest son of Cui Yuan, Marquis of Jingshan, is the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, I'll help you ask, he should have someone he knows over there." “

When Yang Cong heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Then thank you Brother Jingzhai." ”

This matter has settled, Yang Cong is finally relieved, and the three of them drank for a while, until they were a little dizzy from drinking, and then they dispersed.

The next day, Xu Yande ordered someone to bring good news, Jingshan Hou Cui Yuan had promised to help, and invited them to go to the dinner together in the evening.

This relationship is good, and that night, Yang Cong and Lu Bing followed Xu Yande, the Duke of Dingguo, to the mansion of Marquis Cui Yuan in Jingshan.

Unexpectedly, this Jingshan Marquis Cui Yuan not only let his son Cui Hao accompany him, but also invited Wuding Marquis Guo Ying.

After a while of greetings, Cui Yuan stood up and raised his glass and said: "Qingfeng, I am really ashamed of what happened to the salt last time, and the old man didn't make any effort, but he got a twenty percent share for nothing, come, the old man respects you a cup." ”

Yang Cong hurriedly stood up and raised his glass and said, "Where, where, the little nephew didn't make much effort, Shibo was polite." ”

With that, he raised his head and drank the wine directly from the cup.

Cui Yuan accompanied him for a drink, and then smiled and said: "It's just right, you are going to Shanxi this time, let Hao'er accompany you on a trip, it can be regarded as a chat to express our gratitude." ”

This guy, the Houjun Governor's Mansion is the direct superior of the Shanxi Capital Division and the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and with Cui Hao accompanying him, the guards over there probably won't dare to play any moths.

When Yang Cong heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Shibo." ”

Immediately afterwards, Guo Xun stood up again and raised his glass and said: "Qingfeng, what did the old man do last time, I am really ashamed in my heart, this time there is no way, Shanxi Dusi and Shanxi Xingdu Si are not within the jurisdiction of the old man, please forgive the old man for not being able to help, however, the old man of the Beijing camp and the Left Army Governor's Mansion is still the best to speak, if there is anything you need help in the future, you just ask." ”

Yang Cong hurriedly poured a glass of wine, raised it and said humbly: "Shibo, don't say that, the little nephew really didn't make much effort." ”

Everyone is a man of the year in the capital, because of fate, come together, I don't know what kind of waves will be set off in this court, Yang Cong found that these noble energy is actually quite large, if it can be used well, it will still be of great help to control the power of the court, and he will naturally be careful during the banquet and try his best to win over.

With Cui Hao accompanying him, this trip to Shanxi will be much more convenient, and in the next few days, Yang Cong is in full swing preparing to go, but he never thought that Lu Linger heard the news and insisted on accompanying him.

This guy, Shanxi is a border town, and the Tatar is making trouble at this time, how dare he let Lu Ling'er accompany him, but he is so good at talking, but Lu Ling'er insists on going, so he has no way at all.

Jiajing naturally didn't want Lu Ling'er to take risks, but he couldn't resist this little sister, so he had to send Wang Yong, a master of the inner house, and asked Lu Bing to order a hundred brocade guards to accompany him for protection, so he was relieved to let Lu Ling'er follow Yang Cong.

This is a terrible thing, Yang Cong's guards originally had more than ten people, plus Cui Hao's personal guards and a hundred brocade guards, there were almost two hundred people in their line.

What's even more terrible, the hundred households led by the Jinyi Guard signed up for the number, which scared Yang Cong.

This guy turned out to be Shen Lian!

But it turned out that this Shen Lian was also from a Jinyi Wei military household, and he also participated in this examination, but he didn't pass the examination, and he didn't want to go back, so he took refuge in Lu Bing, wanting to find an errand, mix in the capital for three years, and then participate in the examination.

Lu Bing was quite satisfied with this Shen Lian, because this Shen Lian was capable of writing and martial arts, and he was quite righteous, and he didn't have many cronies, so he naturally laughed at such a person who took the initiative to send him to the door.

However, he didn't think about arranging an errand for Shen Lian for a while, just so happened that the emperor asked him to send a hundred brocade guards to protect Lu Ling'er, and Shen Lian's kung fu was good, so he simply invited Shen Lian to an errand for a hundred households, and asked Shen Lian to take someone to follow Yang Cong to Shanxi.

This guy, Jinyi Wei Shen Lian, is very famous in the history books, but he dares to fight against Yan Song on his own!
