Chapter 379: Bold
The box was densely packed with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, almost flashing the eyes of King Li, Rao is in a high position and is used to seeing all kinds of glorious and wealthy people, seeing such a scene, he can't help but exclaim: "These are all you snatched from under Lu Li's hands?" ”
Xiong Lishui nodded without hesitation at all, pretending to be proud.
"The minister came all the way, fought several victories, although Lu Li has the reputation of a god general, but his strength is far less strong than my army, several battles, the group of rabble under his command will collapse into an army, a few days, even the city that was finally attacked has been abandoned, these gold and silver jewels piled up in the box, are the minister from the city that Lu Li left to scavenge, used to honor His Royal Highness the king."
"Good!"
King Li was also very happy in his heart, and after winning the battle, Xiong Lishui said it so beautifully, he only felt like he was standing on the clouds, and the whole person was fluttering.
is worthy of being the first fierce general under him, and he did not disappoint.
Compared to Zhou Guan, who fought for such a long time, but didn't even bring back a piece of good news to King Li, Xiong Qianshui can be said to be ten million times better.
King Li has always liked to reward his subordinates, Lu Li was like this when he was working under him before, and it was often heard later, and today's Xiong Shui is naturally no exception.
It just so happens that there is a lack of a general in the army, so it is better to seal him......
Xiong Qianshui knelt on the ground and waited silently.
King Li likes to reward meritorious deeds, and he honors such a pile of booty with filial piety, and says that he has won the battle, and the king of Li will definitely be impressed with himself, so that the reward must be indispensable.
Xiong Lishui was thinking about what King Li would reward him when the young man who had been silent in the study suddenly opened his mouth.
"Is it true that General Xiong said that he won the battle?"
Xiong Carboxyshui's heart suddenly missed a beat.
Speaking of which, he hadn't paid attention to the other person in the study, and he thought that this fair-looking and slender son was just a new servant of King Li, but now at a critical time, the other party suddenly spoke, which made Xiong Lishui realize that the other party's identity was unusual.
This is certainly not just a servant under King Li.
Some time ago, on the way back to Beijing, he once heard that King Li's subordinates recently had a young son, surnamed Chen, called Chen Lian, not to mention the appearance of white, and full of strategy, almost all the strategists under King Li were compared to him, King Li liked this young man very much, so he reused him and made him the youngest henchman under his command.
I guess that's the one in front of me.
King Li turned around, and the face that accompanied everyone actually smiled faintly when facing Chen Lian: "Chen Lian, what do you say?" ”
"My subordinates haven't been to Nanhuai City, so naturally I don't know how the war is going in Nanhuai City, but my subordinates have heard some news on the way to the capital."
Chen Lian glanced at Xiong Qianshui and saw that the latter was in a cold sweat.
"What's the news?" King Li was quite interested in what this white prince said.
"I heard that the city governed by Lu Li's subordinates, whether it is Nanhuai City or Lingcheng, is in good order, and there have been merchants who accidentally entered the city when there was no war, and found that the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they did not look affected by the war at all, which shows that Lu Li is very capable in governing the city."
King Li nodded, feeling that his words were not unreasonable.
If Lu Li really lost several battles and abandoned the city several times and fled, how could the people of Nanhuai City and Lingcheng live and work in peace and contentment?
Xiong Qianshui's words in his mouth don't seem to be very credible.
King Li's suspicious gaze made Xiong Qianshui feel cold, it was at this time, he felt that it would be good if he could save his life and leave the palace safely, as for the reward, he didn't dare to think about it at all.
But fortunately, King Li still has a little affection for Xiong Qianshui, he didn't have murderous intentions towards Xiong Qianshui because of Chen Lian's words, after all, people specially brought back a few boxes of treasures from the front line to pay homage to him, didn't they? You can't be too ruthless.
"General Xiong must have worked hard all the way, let's go back to the house to recuperate for a few days, and then the king of Japan will tell you about the war in a few days."
Xiong Lishui exhaled a long breath: "Weichen retired." ”
He turned around and exited King Li's study, and walked far away from the door before he completely let go of his hanging heart.
The warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and fell on his eyelids, completely illuminating the resentment in his eyes.
Chen Lian, right? He remembered! If you can't give a reward today, it's this person who opened his mouth, and when he gets the opportunity in the future, he must make this nosy person look good!
The capital is full of people, the streets and alleys are like one staggered river after another, An Xiabai walked all the way, asked a lot of people to ask the location of the Fang family, and after following the route to the door, she looked at it in a daze; The two mansions were in a daze.
The two square mansions are both with closed doors.
She almost forgot!
General Fang in the capital is not only Fang Chun, but also his younger brother Fang Zhen, who is still a subordinate of King Li at this time.
An Xiabai didn't know which mansion was Fang Chun's, so he had to knock on the door first.
The little guy who opened the door poked his head out, and saw a strange face standing outside the door, and the clothes on his body were not luxurious, so he wrinkled his brows and said dissatisfiedly: "My general is not here, this girl, you have something to do, come next time." ”
"Dare to ask your general, but is General Fang Chunfang?"
The little servant glanced at the other party's other mansion and nodded knowingly, as if he was used to being asked which General Fang was.
"It's General Fang Chun, our general just went out two days ago and went to the north, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the next few days, girl, you will come back later."
The little guy said, and didn't give An Xiabai a chance to reveal his identity, and slammed the door directly, leaving An Xiabai standing alone outside the door in the wind.
General Fang Chun is not in Beijing, so if he needs help, I'm afraid I can't count on him.
An Xiabai's gaze slowly fell on the opposite Fang Mansion.
Maybe she can try to work with Fang Zhen? I heard that he has been having a hard time in the court recently, so I can take this opportunity to cooperate with him?
There is no way to go left or right.
An Xiabai gritted his teeth and walked briskly towards Fang Zhen's mansion.
This time I knocked on the door, and it took a long time for the door to be opened, and it was an elderly man who came to open the door, and when he saw An Xiabai standing outside the door, he seemed to be very surprised, and he was stunned for a while before asking: "Girl, are you looking for the wrong person, this is General Fang Zhen's mansion, and General Fang Chun's mansion is opposite." ”
A shallow smile appeared at the corner of An Xia's white lips: "Uncle, I didn't look for the wrong person, I just came to find General Fang Zhen." ”
When he was told by his subordinates that someone was asking to see him, Fang Zhen was practicing knives in the courtyard, and when he learned that the person who came to find him was a young girl, his solemn face finally showed a surprised expression.
After he came to the living room and saw An Xiabai's face, this surprise became even more obvious.
"You're so daring."
An Xia Bai sat in his seat, holding a cup of tea and smiled faintly at him2.
"Thank you, General, for the compliment."
Fang Zhen stood outside the door, waved his hand to let the housekeeper go down, and the other subordinates also retreated, and after not being allowed to come to the living room, he asked An Xiabai in confusion: "Don't you know that I am the person of King Li?" Coming to my mansion with such a swagger, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and send you to the Liwang Mansion to invite merit? ”
An Xiabai smiled and shook his head: "Since I dare to come, I am fully prepared." ”
Fang Zhen raised his eyebrows, if it was him before, he would definitely arrest someone and send it to King Li as soon as he saw An Xiabai, but now it is different, after experiencing those ups and downs, after facing the distrustful eyes of King Li several times, he already has suspicions about the master he once was loyal to, although it will not betray, but it is impossible to be loyal without disagreement as before.
An Xiabai was sure of this, so he dared to appear in front of Fang Zhen.
"I've heard some rumors related to the general in the capital, does the general want to hear about it?"
Fang Zhen shook his head with a complicated expression: "It's nothing more than those wastes scolding me for being incompetent and cowardly, it doesn't matter if I listen or not." Mrs. Lu, I don't have the patience to talk to you now, in a quarter of an hour, you'd better give me a reason not to arrest you, otherwise, let's go to the Liwang Mansion and talk slowly." ”
Sure enough, it is a person who has been tempered in the barracks, and his character is direct.
Seeing him like this, An Xiabai didn't go around the corner, and went directly to the point and said: "I want to cooperate with you, General, I have inquired about some news in the capital, and I know that General, you have not been doing very well in the capital recently, if you are willing, General, I can help you give advice and get the reuse of King Li." ”
Fang Zhen was a little moved.
In these days when he was treated coldly, he didn't want to get King Liwang again all the time, and trampled those who looked down on him under his feet.
"Then Mrs. Lu, what conditions do you have?"
An Xiabai restrained the calculating shrewdness on his face, and deliberately pretended to be cramped.
"My appeal is actually very simple, I just want a safe shelter for the time being."
Compared with the two sides, he took a big advantage.
Fang Zhen thought for a while, and finally nodded.
"As long as you stay in my house, I will keep you safe."
Fang Zhen said, he must do it, that day he asked people to go to the inn An Xiabai's luggage was taken over, and then placed people in the house, and let Xiong Qianshui find people outside to find almost every corner of the capital, he was stunned to hide people tightly, and no news was revealed at all.
No one would have thought that after An Xiabai entered Beijing, he would hide in Fang Zhen's mansion.
Even Xiong Qianshui didn't think of this.
For several days in a row, he asked Su Ying'er to take over the matter of finding An Xiabai's whereabouts, just to behave in front of King Li, so as to press down Chen Lian, the young man who came out of nowhere.
However, Su Ying'er searched for several days in a row, making a mess of the already chaotic capital, and even the king of Li was alarmed, and directly called Xiong Qianshui to the mansion to scold.
Xiong Qianshui was also in a bad mood, so he separated from Su Ying'er that night.
