A few months earlier, he had been at the Holy Light Mosque and had declared himself a supporter of the Puritans. Now he is in front of Ayina again, saying that he does not like Muslims.

That sounds unconvincing.

Ayina didn't know where she got the courage, and suddenly hugged Li Chengji's waist from behind. Sihua, who was standing outside the pavilion, looked at it and suddenly showed a little surprise. But then he thought of something and quietly retreated.

The next day, the apse. Aina opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that the bed beside her was empty. Immediately shocked, he sat up from the bed. But because of the pain involved, I unconsciously exhaled in pain.

"Miss! You're awake! ”。 The bead curtain was lifted, revealing Rose's respectful face.

"Y--how do you --?" Ayina said in surprise.

"The governor said that the young lady was tired, and Sister Sihua was alone, so I was afraid that she would not serve well. He ordered the slave maid to stay in the apse for a while, and the serving lady would take care of her body. Rose said with a low brow. But when I saw a touch of red on the bed, my heart tingled slightly.

But in an instant, she thought of her own subordinate duty, and quickly suppressed the tingling pain.

When Aina heard this, a blush appeared on her face. He answered, and told Rose to retreat.

When she was alone, she lay down on her back again. Smelling the faint manly breath beside the bed, he secretly said in his heart that last night, he finally did the right thing. At the same time, I also thought of her mother. At the beginning, her mother's status was low, but she took the initiative to give her arms and became Sadr's concubine.

Although the good times did not last long, they were forgotten in the apse. But that method can be tried.

Last night, when she saw Li Chengji, who had been avoiding her, she suddenly had a feeling that she didn't want to let go. took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, which can be regarded as a matter of his own heart.

It's just that when she thinks of how Li Chengji arranges herself, she is faintly worried.

At this moment, in the council chamber of the front hall. Li Chengji looked at the official Dadi Wan Musa Arzimi, who entered the governor's palace early in the morning to report on official business, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Governor! Miss Ayina is a good match for her intelligence and beauty...", said Moussa Alzimi.

Because Aina was not favored by Sadr in the first place, the princess title that exceeded the system was also unrelated to her. In addition, Li Chengji now represents Da Liao, and the title of princess is even more cautious.

Therefore, old officials like Al Zimi, who followed Sadr, also called Ayina Miss after Li Chengji's Han title.

"Marriage! It is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It's better to wait for my father and mother to come to Puhua, and then we can't agree...", Li Chengji had no good reason to shirk it, so he could only carry his cheap father out as a shield.

In his heart, he secretly said. In the future, the tone of the governor's palace should be cured. Otherwise, whatever wind and grass will be spread to the outside. In the long run, it is impossible to say that it will cause trouble.

"But the king of Hezhong County is busy with official business, so I'm afraid he can't come to Puhua in person?" , Alzimi could not refute Li Chengji's words. After all, he knew that the Han people were the most filial piety. On the face of embarrassment, ask a and realistic question.

Li Chengji didn't care, and replied with a smile: "My father is the king of the county in the river, and this land in the river is his fief. Come and see, it's also right. If he really can't get out, the Governor can also take Ayina back to Balasagon to visit him later. ”。

"This ---", Al Zimi was a little speechless for a while. The reason why he is so active in promoting the identities of Li Chengji and Ayina is also out of his own selfishness. Because Aina is Sadr's daughter! Although he was not favored and loved before, now that he can enter Li Chengji's eyes, he is much better than other favored young ladies.

Coupled with the fact that Adel is dead, Aina is the new owner of Puhua's family. Now in Li Chengji's camp, not all of the six Di Wan are from Pu Hua. Each department has its own department, not to mention more.

Many official positions are even vacant. Like the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Officials, and other positions of the Great Diwan, all of them are vacant. In terms of government affairs, it is handled by Di Wan, who has a slightly lower status, and even subordinate secretaries.

In order to be able to establish an excellent position in Lee Seungji's camp. The former Sadr officials have all automatically rallied around Alzmi. This Aina has become the object of their support.

People's hearts are like this, and they always want an extra layer of protection. Although Lee Seung-ji thinks that even if he marries Aina, he will not be more open to the old officials left behind by the former Sadr.

But these officials are still paralyzed by themselves.

Lee Seung-ji also understands! It's good to have a little thought, so I didn't puncture it. But if he married Ayina because of their persecution, he felt too aggrieved.

Just when Alzi was thinking about how to persuade him, Zhang Timing, the great Diwan of the household department, came.

Seeing that Al Zimi was also there, his face was a little more unusual. But he was an old man who had been in officialdom for a long time, so he quickly came back to his senses and said to Li Chengji: "Governor! The military inspection has been properly arranged. ”。

"Huh?! Good! Very good! Li Chengji said with joy.

This was something that had been arranged when the envoys of the four counties were invited to Puhua. It's a pity that the messenger of Namaru has no chance to see it.

Thinking of this, Li Chengji thought of last night's banquet, and said loudly: "Last night, the envoys of the various counties had ---."

Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Zhang Timing had already guessed it. He answered: "Kanatiyan, the city and county of Ban are empty, and I would like to ask the governor." Dispatch heavenly soldiers as soon as possible to keep the side peaceful. ”。 Kanati's local prestige was insufficient to subdue the tribes below. Therefore, he wants to use the deterrence of the cathar army to strengthen his prestige.

Li Chengji understood this, so he chuckled and said, "Heh-Kanati is 'loyal'. But right now, Malu is close to the south, and Bancheng is not in a hurry for the time being! The remnants of the Puritans there are still there, and the country of Gur has no time to look north for a while. It will be okay to hold on for a few months.

It's Maru! Since the shooting of the Malu messenger on the spot, a major battle is inevitable.

However, it is indeed said that it is still a little inappropriate to describe it as a big war. Because Malu is a county, even if all the people are soldiers, there will be no more than 50,000 people in the sky. Again, this is estimated at the best results! In fact, the Maru County Guard simply couldn't send so many people.

After all, Malu is a desert city, and although it is surrounded by a large river, it has become an important commercial hub. But in terms of the harsh climate, it is far worse than in the river. Especially in spring and autumn, the wind and sand are raging. When it blows, it simply obscures the sky.

The people who settled in the local area were not as many as Pu Hua.

Therefore, what Li Chengji had to guard against was that the forces of Yeli and Nishapur counties were united with him.
