Chapter Seventy-One: Selfless Assistance
Originally, Wang Dingbao, who was appointed by the former Tang Dynasty court to come to Lingnan as a military inspector, was favored by Liu Yin by the Jing Haijun Festival, who was recruiting talents everywhere at that time.
And forcibly recruited him to his command, and has been particularly reused, successively serving as the marching Sima of the Jing Navy, the judge of the Jiedu and so on.
After the founding of the Southern Han Dynasty, he successively served as the envoy of the Northwest, the commander of the four neighbors, the squire of the military department, and the Pingzhang of the Zhongshu Men, which can be said to be a high power.
It's just that last year, for some reason, he accidentally offended Liu Yan by making a statement, so he was demoted to Ning Yuandao as a festival envoy.
And Mu Hong, the envoy of the Zhenxiong Festival, was once Liu Yan's brother, and the original Jinghai Jie made Liu Yin's personal general, and he was promoted to the Zhenxiong Festival.
And like Sun Decheng in Yunnan, Mu Hong has been in Zhenxiong for more than ten years, and probably Liu Yan has almost forgotten him.
Li Yi hurriedly called Lin Yi and instructed: "People give us charcoal in the snow, we can't be rude." Lord Lin, you and General He will set off immediately and go to the two places to greet them, and you must politely and thoughtfully invite the envoys to the Xuanfu Embassy, and I will personally receive them. ”
The two happily agreed.
By noon, the two envoys arrived in Ningzhou almost simultaneously with dozens of carts.
To Li Yi's surprise, the envoy sent by Ning Yuandao turned out to be an acquaintance of the champion Li Yi.
This fair-skinned, thirty-year-old envoy with big eyes and a relatively fat body shouted to Li Yi cordially as soon as they met: "Brother Runzhi, don't come unharmed!" ”
Hearing such kind words, Li Yi's little heart couldn't help but skip a beat, what is the situation, as soon as he opens his mouth, he is the elder brother, the elder brother, and he must be very familiar with the champion Li Yi!
But for himself, this is a big problem, and the deceased champion Li Yi, of course, will not tell me about these insignificant people before he dies.
Where is he sacred, but where he knows where to go.
Hey! The first time I met an acquaintance, it was so embarrassing! I don't even know where to start with the opening words, if the question is not answered, there is an oolong between the words, I don't know what it will be like.
Li Yi was in a hurry and didn't know how to phrase it, but the messenger continued to smile and say: "Li Dashuai is now a prince sitting on one side, and he is majestic and happy, and now even his old classmates and friends for many years are difficult to enter Li Dashuai's eyes?" ”
"Huh! It's hard to meet but you're so indifferent, you don't take your old friends in your eyes, how can a world be so cold! ”
Li Yi couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this, and his blood suddenly surged into his head, and he was about to open his mouth indiscriminately and blur two sentences.
Lin Yi next to him had already seen his embarrassment, although he didn't know why, but fortunately, he had already chatted with the messenger all the way and had already learned some information.
Hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "Dashuai, I also chatted with Lord He Zi He all the way just now, I heard that you have been classmates for many years, and you are also in the same department, so many years of friendship must be quite deep, Lord He is very respectful of you!" ”
What words? It seems that I have also seen his records in the history of the Southern Han Dynasty, but I am not very impressed.
Unexpectedly, he and the champion Li Yi were classmates and friends, which Li Yi did not expect.
Li Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly adjusted his emotions, and pretended to be full of spring breeze and said, "Hehe! Brother He, you still have the same style! After a long time, I made my brother and I worried, but I didn't expect to see you here, it's such a coincidence. ”
"Huh! When you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, there is no need to know each other! Look, I don't even know what to say when I see you so suddenly. Come, come, come, please come to the hall and serve tea. ”
Li Yi just concealed his embarrassment, and hurriedly greeted another envoy from Zhenxiong, and invited the two envoys to the conference hall with a pleasant greeting.
After the guests sat down, Li Yi didn't dare to talk to He Ci anymore, and quickly changed the topic to express his gratitude to them.
"Wang Dashuai and Mu Dashuai are both predecessors that I admire, I didn't expect that when difficulties occurred in Yunnan, I got the sincere and selfless support of the two marshals so quickly, Li Yi was full of gratitude, but I don't know where to start, and I asked the two adults to express my heartfelt thanks to the two marshals on my behalf!"
The envoy of Zhenxiong Dao saw that Li Yi was familiar with He Ci, and only politely said a few words during the conversation.
And He Zi talked endlessly: "Hey! When my brother says this, he is out of sight. As the saying goes, 'distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors'! ”
"What's more, Wang Dashuai has always liked to promote younger generations, especially for talents like Brother Runzhi. He has mentioned you in front of us more than once, and I can hear it, and that's a heartfelt compliment! You must know that Wang Dashuai does not praise people easily. ”
"Especially this time, the elder brother is willing to take in so many hungry people at great risk, and this kind of mind is unmatched in the world, so it also makes Wang Dashuai even more impressed with you."
"Wang Dashuai also asked me to invite you on behalf of his old man to go to Ningyuan as a guest at the appropriate time, hehe! This is not ordinary treatment! ”
Li Yi hurriedly laughed and said, "Brother He, this is trying to kill me!" Hehe! Don't you know what I'm capable of? I just came to Yunnan by chance, and I knew that I was shallow and embarrassed. ”
"If I had half of my brother's talent, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a headache."
He Ci smiled leisurely and said, "Hey! I've never seen you so humble before, and when you become a handsome, this bearing is not ordinary. Now I can't compare with you, you are a well-known Yunnan Xuanfu envoy, I am just a little Ning Yuandao to record things and participate in the military, the world is different, and I can't be compared. ”
Li Yi hurriedly said humbly: "Brother He is too modest, gold will always shine, who doesn't know that your brother has a talent that has passed through the heavens and the earth!" It's just that the time is not coming. ”
"Huh! So many years have passed, but I don't know when my brother took up Guangning Dao? ”
He Ci was stunned, looked at Li Yi in disbelief, and said with a puzzled face: "Two years ago, you sent me a drink, and at that time you gave me a poem, with a strong line, did my brother forget it so quickly?" ”
Li Yi was embarrassed again, and he couldn't wait to smack a few mouths of himself, what kind of mouth is this! How can you talk nonsense if you don't know the situation, and you can see that the basket is clear, this is really 'which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned'! Hey! Isn't it like I'm looking for a pump?
He had to smile awkwardly and think nervously for a while, but he couldn't think of a word to deal with it for a while.
I had to say indiscriminately: "Oh! I just thought that Brother He was not in this position back then! Hehe! When was he promoted, I don't know if I will be a little brother, and I will rejoice with Brother He. Just now, my little brother, I was a little speechless, hehe! ”
He Zi was confused for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Hehe! It's a bit unkind for you to say that. How can I compare to my brother! As soon as you are released, you are a big party! ”
"At that time, I was just a small person who joined the army from the Bapin Division, and it took two years to join the military with this record, which was not easy."
"Alas! My eyes are full of tears! He Mousheng was born at the wrong time, and in the future, he still needs a lot of support from Li Dashuai! ”
