……

Liu Ce quietly watched the surging confrontation between Song Lian and Jiang Xun in the hall, his hands were still wrapped around his chest, his fingers tapped his arms, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

He might have said a few words in normal times, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to break the embarrassing situation, not to mention that Song Lian was willing to give the money and food he urgently needed to alleviate the situation, so he naturally went with them.

In fact, Song Lian looked further, especially from the various performances of Liu Ce when he entered the banquet hall today, he was very confident in obtaining the position of former military governor.

Judging from his understanding of Liu Ce, once this position is in hand, it will set off a huge storm in the Far East, rather than being swept by the storm in the future, why not take this opportunity to stand on Liu Ce's side to get the maximum benefits, of course, the risk is also very huge, and the consequences of failure are unimaginable.

But if Liu Ce obtains the power of the border army, coupled with the close relationship between him and Song Yanran, the Song family will take advantage of the situation to rise to the top side, and I am afraid that the Jiang family will also have to look at their own face.

The more Song Lian thought about it, the more excited he became, and he made up his mind to treat Song Yanran as his mother, no, as a bodhisattva to please Liu Ce.

What's the loss of some money? The benefits you will get in the future will be 10 times 100 times that of now. Shishu can't be combined? Jiang Xun, look at what era it is now, Liu Ce is not destined to be a thing in the pool, you don't need to put your daughter's such good resources, then don't blame me for being the first to get there, cry with your unwritten rules!

"No!"

Just when Song Lian was excited about the revitalization of his family, Jiang Xun pulled him back to reality with a word.

"Don't forget, this time the imperial court gave Liu Ce a marriage, once the marriage is completed, you can't marry him again within five years."

Finally, Jiang Xun found an arrogance to suppress Song Lian, like a basin of cold water to extinguish his enthusiasm.

The marriage etiquette of the Great Zhou royal family has a more fucked up rule, if the princess marries an outsider as a wife, the children of the scholar family cannot remarry for one to three years, and the words of the Shu clan ...... Although it can be counted on five fingers, it will take five years to lift the ban at the earliest.

"It's not good, why did I forget this stubble...... Song Lian was taken aback, and then remembered that Li Suwen's purpose in coming to Yuanzhou this time was to give marriage first, supplemented by the post of military governor.

Jiang Xun saw Song Lian's depressed face, sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "Just you, you flowery intestines, if you want to win over Liu Ce, go dream!" Don't even think about it, do you still want to go against the royal family? ”

"Hehe......" Liu Ce suddenly couldn't help but chuckle, and said coldly, "Lord Jiang, do you think your subordinates will marry that kind of woman with a straight belly?" What's more, I don't know whose child is in her womb, do you think I have an obligation to raise it for her? ”

Jiang Xun swept towards Liu Ce when he heard this, but when he saw that Liu Ce's posture was as steady as a rock, he always felt that this momentum was very different from a few months ago.

He avoided this momentum and said to Liu Ce: "Liu Ce, don't forget that this is a royal marriage, do you dare to be disobedient?" ”

Liu Ce said: "I have been disobedient today, do I still care......

Jiang Xun's eyes were cold: "Liu Ce, please pay attention to your words, you can't afford to offend the royal family." ”

Liu Ce's eyes widened: "Then I, Liu Ce, are they offended!" ”

The majestic momentum echoed in the palace hall like a mountain and a sea, and Jiang Xun and Song Lian were extremely surprised in their hearts.

I saw Liu Ce say slowly: "Saiwai Hu Nu can't help me, what is the royal family that can't even handle the thieves!" I have a total of 45,000 troops of the Hu tribe in southern Hebei, more than 70,000 troops of the Jizhou army, more than 20,000 people directly under the Jingwei Battalion, and more than 100,000 iron-blooded divisions of a hundred battles in hand, do you think I will take that rabble in my eyes? ”

"Hiss......"

Song Lian was shocked when he heard this, he had long secretly known that southern Hebei was in Liu Ce's hands, but he didn't expect Liu Ce's strength to reach such a terrifying point, which strengthened his determination to stand on the same front as Liu Ce.

"What do you want to be the commander of the district flag and the commander, but you are so self-respecting?" Jiang Xun saw Liu Ce unreservedly open his hole cards, and he was suddenly shocked.

Liu Ce said word by word: "Sweep away Hu Nu, gallop outside, the troubled times will end, and the world will be peaceful!" ”

The sonorous and powerful words shocked Song Lian and Jiang Xun, and they didn't want Liu Ce, who was born in the Shu clan, to have such ambitions.

"You are my son-in-law Song Lian, I identify you!"

With Liu Ce's strength and pride, Song Lian was determined to support him at all costs.

"Isn't it just 40,000,000 taels of silver? Smash the pot and sell iron, and I have to make it up for you! ”

At this time, a trace of loss flashed in Jiang Xun's heart, and for the first time he felt as if he had missed something.

"Hahaha......" Song Lian laughed and said to Liu Ce: "Captain Liu, you are really arrogant, I will definitely get you the 40 million taels as soon as possible, you can rest assured, on the day you and Ran'er get married, I will give you another big gift." ”

After speaking, he bowed to Jiang Xun again: "Lord Jiang, there is still official business below, so I will retire first, please." ”

Without waiting for Jiang Xun to react, Song Lian walked out of the Governor's Mansion with full enthusiasm and went to raise money for Liu Ce.

"My lord, if there is nothing important, I will also retire first, I may be late when I return home in the evening, I hope that the adults can leave a back door and leave."

After saying that, Liu Ce also withdrew from the Governor's Palace, he would not completely put the treasure on Song Lian, raise money for himself, and find a way from other places, after all, he had to have more protection.

"Damn! Song Lian, you old horseman! Ben Governor really underestimated you! I didn't expect to have such a hand! After Liu Ce and Song Lian left, Jiang Xun finally couldn't help but flip the book in front of the table to the ground.

"For the sake of power, he actually married regardless of the Shishu? Okay, you Song Lian, Ben Du never expected you to be so calculating! But Ben Governor won't let you get it! Want to win over Liu Ce? Wish for the moon! ”

After losing his temper, Jiang Xun thought of Liu Ce again: "I didn't expect that in a year, his strength would swell to this point, and these hundreds of thousands of troops are enough to shake the foundation of my Jiang family in the Far East, Liu Ce!" This governor will not let you sit in the position of military governor as you wish, otherwise the Far East and even the entire Great Zhou will really change the sky! ”

……

"Captain Liu, your hair ......"

In the splendid world, Jiang Ning and his wife were shocked when they saw Liu Ce's appearance.

Liu Ce smiled helplessly: "Boss Jiang, Shopkeeper Mei, save the extra words, I came here today to ask you to borrow a sum of money for emergency, I don't know if I can ...... it."

"Captain Liu doesn't need to say much...... Jiang Ning nodded immediately, "It's rare that Captain Liu needs the help of our couple in something, so I should do my best." ”

Then he said to Mei Hua: "Go and take all the silver tickets we have accumulated over the years and hand them over to Captain Liu." ”

Mei Hua didn't say a word, immediately got up and went to her room, and after a while, she returned to the living room with a box in her hand.

Jiang Ning opened the box and took out a stack of silver tickets from the inside and handed it to Liu Ce: "Captain Liu, I know that the amount of silver you need is huge, and I can't get it for you at one time, there are two million silver tickets here, please smile." ”

Liu Ce took the silver ticket and put it in his arms without even looking at it, and bowed to Jiang Ning and his wife: "Two, your great grace is unforgettable, please rest assured, I will pay back this silver as soon as possible, and I will never let the savings of the two of you for many years go down the drain, thank you." ”

As he spoke, Liu Ce got up and bowed to them and bowed deeply. The couple took out millions of silver without blinking their eyes and lent it to themselves, that is how much trust they have in themselves, it is impossible to say that Liu Ce is not moved.

Jiang Ning said: "Captain Liu doesn't have to be like this, Jiang has never seen anything outside his body, it is rare to see you today, I heard that Captain Liu is quite fluent, and he is also happy to do this, I don't know if I can ask you for advice." ”

Liu Ce said: "Boss Jiang's words are serious, but he is only a little superficial, since Boss Jiang has this Yaxing, he should accompany him wholeheartedly." ”

Mei Hua said: "I'll go make tea for the two of you, you talk slowly, Captain Liu, the husband is the most fond of music, I heard that the song 'Looking for Jade' that day is a great appreciation!" ”

Liu Ce said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Mei is serious, it's just a matter of playing as you like, and you can't put it on the table......"

"Hahaha, don't be modest, the song 'State of Etiquette' you chanted in the past is still sung by thousands of people, and the song 'Silk Play' composed by Heyang Lou has made countless couples ripple into pairs, and I, Jiang Ning, have only seen ...... in my life."

"Boss Jiang is too polite, please ......"

Throughout the afternoon, Liu Ce and Jiang Ning have been discussing the knowledge of music and rhythm, and Liu Ce's modern thinking and insight and some classical music really made Jiang Ning come to his eyes.

Although the tune is a bit odd, when you think about it, you are surprised to find that it is far more appealing and beautiful than the existing rhyme.

In the end, Jiang Ning sighed: "Maybe this will subvert my general perception of the music of the Great Zhou Dynasty and become a school of its own......"

……

At the time of the lamp, Liu Ce refused the request of Jiang Ning and his wife to stay for dinner, and after buying a few cakes on the street to satisfy his stomach, he walked towards the governor's mansion.

Ma Guocheng and Sun Biao have returned to the post station to rest, and they don't need to worry about it for the time being, these two goods are not good things. No one dares to provoke them, otherwise Ma Guocheng's dirty words can make people vomit blood.

When he walked to the entrance of the steps of the Governor's Mansion and looked, he saw a white shadow that he had been looking forward to, and after waiting for a long time, Liu Ce frowned slightly, but walked over slowly.

Just when Liu Ce was about to greet her, Li Suwen's figure appeared behind Jiang Ruoyan, and he slowly covered a cloak towards Jiang Ruoyan......

Jiang Ruoyan's shadow flashed, and she said angrily to Li Suwen: "What are you going to do? Stay away from me, don't come near me......"

Li Suwen apologized: "Ruoyan, are you still angry with me?" Don't be like this, it's cold at night, put it on first......"

"Don't come here...... Jiang Ruoyan quickly flashed to the other side, his eyes staring at him vigilantly like frost, lest he encounter danger like yesterday.

Li Suwen saw that she was hiding from herself like a plague, and knew in her heart that she must still be hating herself for yesterday's events, so she said: "Ruoyan, I really didn't mean it, and I don't know what's wrong, I would do this kind of thing to you......"

"Say no more." Jiang Ruoyan interrupted him and said angrily, "I don't want to see you now, you will disappear in front of my eyes immediately, go!" ”

Li Suwen waited to say again: "If you are beautiful, I ......"

"Miss Jiang, it's so nice that you are here, you are hungry in your lower belly, can you tell me where the kitchen is......

At this moment, Liu Ce's voice sounded between the two of them.

"Liu Ce, are you back?" As soon as Jiang Ruoyan saw Liu Ce come back, the gloom on his face was suddenly swept away, "I'll take you to the kitchen......"

Liu Cehe's eyes nodded slightly: "Then there is Miss Lao Jiang to guide the way......"

When passing by Li Suwen's side, but seeing a sharp blade in his eyes sweeping towards his whole body, Liu Ce's fine eyes and jaw were not afraid, and he followed Jiang Ruoyan towards the mansion.
