"Your Highness, Longzhou is in a hurry."

As soon as he saw Li Xian's gaze swept over, Liu Ziming didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly strode forward, and handed the small copper pipe he was holding tightly in his hand in front of Li Xian.

"Hmm."

As soon as he heard that it was an urgent matter in Longzhou, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't think much about it, just raised his eyebrows, said lightly, stretched out his hand, and took over the small copper pipe, unscrewed the hidden button on the small copper pipe familiarly, took out a note inside, spread it out, just looked at it, and his brows were already wrinkled - there were not many words on the note, and there was only one thing to say - Pei Shoude, a member of the Criminal Department, had arrived in Longzhou!

It's coming so fast, what the hell is this guy trying to do?

Pei Shoude was appointed as the presiding judge of the assassination of Qiu Shenxian was a matter of last year, this news Li Xian had known for a long time, and even Li Xian had already gotten a tip about his departure from Luoyang, but he didn't expect Pei Shoude to come so quickly, it was only six days later, Pei Shoude and his entourage had rushed to Longzhou, and as soon as they crossed the Yellow River, they could enter the ground in Lanzhou. It was inevitable that there would be a muttering in my heart because of this.

"Report, Your Highness, the leaders of all the tribes have come to Guanxia to ask to see, please make it clear to Your Highness."

Just when Li Xian lowered his head and muttered, he saw that Team Xiao was coming out of the stairs, and when he saw Li Xian pondering, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to miss the business because of it, he hesitated slightly, but he still strode in front of Li Xian, and respectfully said a word.

"Hmm." Li Xian nodded absentmindedly, and after pacing back and forth in place for two steps, he had already made a decision in his heart, so he quietly ordered: "Ziming, you and Shizhang will go and talk to those gang of leaders together, and Lone will not come forward, and the other will go and call Tuoba Shanye." ”

"No!"

Li Xian had already given the order, Liu Ziming and Lu Shizhang did not dare to slack off, they each bowed down to their promises, hurriedly went down the city wall, and went to be busy with the acquisition negotiations without mentioning it.

"Grass people, see Your Highness!"

The city gate tower is still the city gate tower, facing Li Xian who is still smiling, but Tuoba Shanye has completely lost the confident look of the earlier meeting, although the advance and retreat salute is still calm, but the lowered eyes are faintly full of worry, and a cold feeling of accompanying the king like a tiger unconsciously surged out from the bottom of his heart.

"Flat, Lone has always disliked the courtesy, get along for a long time, you can know the roots, well, this time Lone can deter the northern tribes, Er's great merit, Lone has always been a clear reward and punishment, now Er has made a great contribution, Lone does not hesitate to reward, Er Tuoba family agreed on the number of redemptions up to three percent, thinking that the cost of settling down, in addition, Lone said that the previous words remain the same, but the court has its own law, Lone is not good to give Er high-ranking officials and Houjue, first in the Lone's guards, a horse Cao, but Eli can be loyal, a ten thousand households are categorically unable to run, I don't know if you are willing to follow the lonely battlefield to see the merits? ”

Li Xian admired the talents of Tuoba Shanye very much, and he also had the heart to cultivate them, so he smiled and said the rewards he should have given one by one.

"Your Royal Highness is very kind, and the grass people are deeply honored, but the grass people have a request, and I don't know whether to mention it or not."

Tuoba Shanye kowtowed respectfully, stood up, bowed, and answered with a fist.

"Well, if you have any requirements, just say it, but if you can do it, you won't be disappointed."

The reward given by Li Xian is quite generous, don't look at the number of redemptions that have only risen by 30%, but the cattle, sheep and horses owned by the entire black party are really not a small number, and the Tuoba brothers can at least get tens of thousands of more goods, and besides, although the position of riding Cao is not prominent, Li Xian's personal guard is not so easy to enter, it is the cradle of senior officers in Hexi, and he is a gang commander inside, and he can mix with a lieutenant military rank when he is put out in a place, not to mention an officer of the rank of riding Cao, once he is released, That is at least the high position of Zhonglang General, in other words, Li Xian has already opened the reward extremely high, this hearing Tuoba Shanye and the requirements of the side, he can't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, but Li Xiancheng is deep, but he didn't bring it to his face, just replied with a smile.

"Your Highness Xie, the grass people don't want to float up with money, but I want to ask Your Highness to allow my three brothers to join the army together, and we are willing to fight for Your Highness, although we have no regrets!" Tuoba Shanye clenched his fists and said what he asked for sincerely.

"Okay, lonely accurate, the mountains can have this heart, the lonely heart is very comforting, this Hexi is just a corner of the place, as for Tubo, in the eyes of the lonely, it is just a grass Koer, the lonely is not in the heart, Lang Lang Qiankun is the stage of the lonely, the mountains and fields are willing to follow the lonely, the world is big, and there is nothing to get!"

Li Xian was very excited to be able to successfully solve the tribes in the north of Hebei Province at the same time, and to receive such good generals as Tuoba Shanye, so he slapped a few shots suddenly, and said heroically, the heart of dominating the world has been undoubtedly revealed......

February in Hexi is extremely beautiful, the grass is green and the flowers are red, the sun is shining, there is neither the cold of January, nor the rain of March, even if it is noon, the daylight is still not hot, shining on people, there is a kind of warm warmth, and then there are gusts of breeze to bring the fragrance of flowers and plants, it is really refreshing, even if the newly appointed Lanzhou Thorn Wang Geng has been in the land of Hexi for some years, but still can't help but revel in this scenery, slightly distracted, even did not notice that a newspaper horse has galloped to the front.

"Report, Lord Wang, Qin and his entourage have arrived at the foot of Hutou Mountain, and they are less than three miles away."

The duty of reporting horses is to report the news, so he will not pay attention to whether Wang Geng is distracted, he rolled the saddle off the horse, and on one knee, he hurriedly reported loudly.

"Ah, oh, probe again!"

Hearing the sound, Wang Geng finally woke up, flicked his big sleeves, gave a casual order, and sent the newspaper horse away, but he himself raised his head, looked at the mountain beams outside the distance, and sighed imperceptibly.

Since ancient times, no one will like the arrival of the Qincha, in order to not want the Qincha to command indiscriminately in their own territory, if the Qincha is coming with unknown intentions, it will be even more annoying, unfortunately, Wang Geng encountered this most annoying situation - Qiu Shenxian's assassination Wang Geng has heard people talk about it, but he is not very clear about the details, but he can guess that the inside story of this matter is by no means as simple as it seems, Wang Geng really does not want to be involved in it, since he took office, He took a blind attitude towards the case and shelved it, but he didn't expect that it had only been less than two months, and the Qin Cha who thoroughly investigated the case came, and Li Xian, the governor of Hexi, was not in Lanzhou, Wang Geng had nowhere to hide if he wanted to, not to mention how depressed he was with the crooked feeling in his heart.

Hiding is definitely not avoidable, even if Li Xian is in Lanzhou, as a assassin, Wang Geng must also cooperate with the investigation of this case, this is an undoubted thing, it will not be the root of Wang Geng's upset, what really makes Wang Geng a headache is his own position, or whether he should cooperate with Pei Shoude to investigate the case, and to what extent he cooperates - most of the many officials in Hexi are Li Xian's descendants, even if they are not Li Xian's henchmen, they are also close to Li Xian, which Wang Geng knows very well, It's just that he himself is not among them, even if he admires Li Xian's talent very much, but he doesn't plan to join Li Xian's command, just because Wang Geng doesn't want to and doesn't want to participate in the bloody and tragic farce of seizing the heir, he just wants to be a pure minister, but with the arrival of Pei Shoude, the practical problem of standing in line has been placed in front of Wang Geng, how to choose freedom Wang Geng is not a headache.

"Lord Chin has arrived!"

Regardless of whether Wang Geng has a headache or not, he will come after all, and after a while, a large group of soldiers and horses surrounded by several carriages turned out of the mountain beam, and drove straight to the front of the crowd of greetings.

"Xiaguan Lanzhou Thorn Shi Wang Geng has seen Lord Qincha."

Wang Geng is the assassin of Zhongzhou, and the official title of the fourth grade is two orders higher than Pei Shoude, but Pei Shoude is now the identity of the Qincha, seeing that the official is one level older, he wants to put the score of the Qincha, Wang Geng has no choice, so he can only greet him solemnly and greet him with a courtesy.

"Lord Wang is polite, polite, this official is ordered to investigate the case, I am afraid that there will be a lot of disturbances, and I ask Lord Wang to bear with me." Pei Shoude is a seven-trick character, the reason why he put on the score is because of his identity, he has to do it, this time he saw that Wang Geng gave enough courtesy, and he would not take the shelf again, so he hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, this is Your Majesty's holy decree, the lower officials should act according to the order, Lord Pei has worked hard all the way from afar, the lower officials have prepared some thin wine, and asked Lord Pei to condescend to advise."

Although Wang Geng has not yet decided on the issue of standing in line, no matter what, the welcome etiquette that should be there is indispensable, so he smiled and waved his hand and made a gesture of "please".

"Lord Wang's kindness is understood by the official, but the case is urgent, this banquet will be dispensed, and after the official is settled in the post station, can he talk to Lord Wang and all the adults in detail?"

Pei Shoude came to Lanzhou in such a hurry, but he didn't come to eat and drink, and he didn't plan to entangle with the Lanzhou officials before he was completely sure, and he was unwilling to accept Wang Geng's invitation, so he smiled and declined.

"That's fine, Master Pei, please!"

As soon as he heard Pei Shoude say the words "the case is urgent", Wang Geng's heart couldn't help but tremble, and the smile on his face unconsciously stiffened slightly, but on such occasions, it was not good to ask casually, so he could only nod his head and echo the sentence, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart......
