Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian are now local magistrates, of course, it doesn't mean that they can put down the work at hand, and when they make all the arrangements, they will rush over, I'm afraid it will take two or three days.

Therefore, Li Xinchen didn't expect to see these two guys soon, but what Li Xinchen didn't expect was that he would soon meet another person.

When Xu Deyan, the chief secretary of General Wu Yi's march who was wearing armor and a hood, stood in front of Li Xinchen, Li Xinchen couldn't believe that this thin young man with a straight waist was Xu Deyan, a talented man who had a relationship with one side.

At this time, Xu Deyan, compared to the original Jiankang Mansion, seems to be a different person. If it weren't for the fact that he still had a somewhat thin body and still had the feeling of a white-clothed gentleman back then, I'm afraid Li Xinchen really thought that someone was impostoring.

In this regard, Li Xinchen can only say that people will become, and the war baptized Xu Deyan into this, although Li Xinchen doesn't know whether it is right or wrong, but at least he does not need to suffer the pain of losing his family and humiliating the country as in history.

Of course, Xu Deyan didn't know why Li Xinchen looked at him with such a strange and complicated gaze, but Li Xinchen was a little surprised that he, Pei Zilie's subordinate, suddenly appeared in Shu County, and then bowed and said loudly:

"General Qiyu, the ancestor sent a letter to his family, in the letter, mentioning the changes in the court, the subordinates knew that they were in a big matter, and they did not dare to slack off, and they came to Shu County first after reporting to General Wu Yi, and wanted to ask the general to look at this letter."

Xu Deyan's grandfather is Xu Ling, Xu Ling did not write a letter directly to Li Xinchen, but used the family letter as an excuse to transfer it to Li Xinchen through Xu Deyan's hand, obviously he didn't want to leave too much handle for himself, this old fox still didn't forget to put away his tail even in this situation.

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to take the letter in Xu Deyan's hand, just glanced at it roughly, his face sank slightly, no wonder Xu Ling would be so cautious, because the current reply to Xu Shanxin was actually just Chen Ji's compromise with the ministers in the court, and it actually did not represent Chen Ji's subjective opinion to a large extent.

Xu Ling put this sentence here, which was enough to tell Li Xinchen how complicated and dangerous things were. Chen Ji has made a compromise now, it doesn't mean that he will still follow Xu Ling and others' ideas in the future, and it doesn't mean that Chen Ji will honestly let Li Xinchen come to the capital, and then obediently let Li Xinchen go back.

When the time comes, there is a high possibility that the two sides will fight.

In addition, Xu Ling also cautiously asked Li Xinchen what his attitude was towards the current situation, or what was the purpose of Li Xinchen's insistence on leading troops to Jiankang Mansion this time.

Is it a refutation of the imperial court's previous request, is it simply to lead troops to protect itself, or as many people speculate, Li Xinchen really intends to take this opportunity to turn the entire Jiankang Mansion upside down.

It's no wonder that Xu Ling is so cautious, these words obviously shouldn't have come to ask Li Xinchen directly.

However, Xu Ling wrote a letter at this time, obviously he also wanted to know Li Xinchen's attitude, and in this way, he was clearly telling Li Xinchen that now he was talking to Li Xinchen about these things from the identity of the patriarch of a family, and if Li Xinchen's choice and judgment were reasonable, then Xu Ling would not hesitate to give a hand.

And Xu Ling persuaded Chen Ji to agree to Li Xinchen's conditions before, which was actually a great help.

Li Xinchen's hands were slowly clenched, and these old men in the Jiankang Mansion obviously couldn't sit still when they couldn't see the development of things clearly. After all, they don't know what Li Xinchen wants to do now, and they can't even figure out what Chen Ji's attitude is towards Li Xinchen, and what is his attitude towards the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which has now presented a situation of internal strife.

This naturally led to them having to take the initiative to ask, and Li Xinchen even felt that he had reason to suspect that Xu Ling's letter represented more than just his opinion, and it may even be written after reaching an agreement with Wu Mingche and others.

After all, at least now Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and others are above the court, and they must advance and retreat together.

This letter to the family undoubtedly told Li Xinchen that the current situation was far from being as easy as he imagined, but correspondingly, at least Li Xinchen was not useless in the court, and Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and others were obviously willing to give him a helping hand at a critical time.

Li Xinchen considered and said: "Since it is a letter to Xiuyuan to your family, so it is better for you to go back and forth, you can clearly tell Xiao Mugong that he does not want to be unfavorable to the imperial court now, and this time he went to Jiankang Mansion and insisted on carrying soldiers and horses mainly out of self-preservation considerations, after all, a certain incompetent person rashly entered the deep water of Jiankang Mansion, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out, and it is reasonable to carry some soldiers and horses, and please Xiao Mugong can understand and help persuade Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty still trusts You, Then a certain is still Da Chen's courtier. ”

Xu Deyan hurriedly bowed his head, he knew that this was at least the best answer Xu Ling wanted now, it was naturally best for the two sides not to tear their faces, and Li Xinchen's attention at this time was not on Nan Chen, which meant that he was still in the Northern Zhou, so Li Xinchen and Nan Chen had common interests, although the two sides had a lot of mustards, but as long as they had the same interests, it was still easy to reach an agreement.

And another point is naturally that the Xu family is not fully invested in Li Xinchen's side now, so from the perspective of a family, if Li Xinchen rashly starts a war with Nan Chen, it will not be a beneficial thing for the Xu family, Xu Ling obviously does not want to be the first target, let alone be completely hated by Li Xinchen because of the intensification of the contradiction between Li Xinchen and Nan Chen.

Now Li Xinchen's answer obviously only represents Li Xinchen's attitude at this time, but it is enough for Xu Ling.

And Li Xinchen then said: "There is another matter that I need to tell Xiao Mu Gong, once the matter is completed, I will go to Jiankang Mansion, but I still need Xiao Mu Gong to take care of it." ”

Xu Deyan was stunned for a moment, then showed a touch of joy, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Obey!" ”

Li Xinchen is clearly showing favor to Xu Ling, and this kind of overture is obviously something that Xu Ling is very happy to see, which shows that Xu Ling's previous help is not a bamboo basket for nothing.

And for Li Xinchen, if he wants Xu Ling to help him, then this kind of overture is naturally necessary.

This is inherently a mutual process.

Xu Deyan left with his hand, while Li Xinchen held the table thoughtfully.

Xu Ling was almost bluntly asking himself if he wanted to rebel, whether he would go to Jiankang Mansion this time or not, it seemed that he needed to have more contact with him.
