Two days later, Li Qing returned to Chengdu, and before he walked to the front of the hall, he heard the crowd in the hall, and when he walked into the hall, he found that it was already full of people.

Li Xiu, the only son of the Li family, who was dressed in brocade clothes, looked at Li Qing with a stunned face in front of him, smiled lightly, and said: "His Royal Highness King Shou, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

"Brother Li, this is?" In any case, Li Qing couldn't imagine why the only son of the Li family, who was in Chang'an and was the head of the four princes, would travel thousands of miles to come here.

"It's not a secret, I came with four hundred secret guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, but I came to join His Royal Highness King Shou, and I hope that His Royal Highness can take me in for the sake of his past feelings."

Looking at Li Xiu, who couldn't hide a trace of helplessness despite his indifferent face, Li Qing reacted very quickly, and paused for a long time before he spoke: "The battle of the Jingshi has reached the time to determine the winner and loser?" ”

I didn't feel the slightest surprise, Li Xiu, who had always been indifferent from beginning to end, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said bitterly: "It's a short year, or two years, and the winner will be divided. ”

In any case, Li Qing can't imagine that the old man who has always been good at calculations will fall, in his heart, this old man treats others harshly, but for himself is always different, Yanyu mother and son have been in Beijing for four years, if there is no care of this old man, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold it all, I can't help but sigh in my heart, it seems that some things have to be arranged in advance, no matter what the purpose of the past, there is this person, Chang'an City is not afraid of any force, if there is no such person, I will arrange it myself in the future, You have to be constrained by others.

"Over the years, Cheng has taken care of me many times, and Brother Li has sympathized with this king, to be honest, you can come, this king is really happy! From now on, you are the head of the Four Spirit Guards, and you can mobilize the power of this king's secret guard at will! Regarding Li Xiu's talent, Li Qing knows very well that no matter what aspect it is, this person will not be inferior to himself by half a point.

Hearing Li Qing accept his fate like this, everyone in the hall was full of expressions, over the years, with the rise of the Shouwang Mansion, the reputation of the Qing Moth Wei has also resounded in Jiannan, but how can outsiders know that in addition to the Qing Moth Guard, there are three guards under the command of Xuanyi Shouwang, holding these four guards in their hands, not only mastering the value and life of Jiannan's officials, but also holding the lives of Xuanyi Shouwang's family in their hands, what kind of trust is this, so that Shouwang, who has always been meticulous, can make this decision.

Looking at the sincere face of King Xuanyi Shou in front of him, Li Xiu didn't shirk it, and said, "In this case, I will be disrespectful!" ”

Nodding, Li Qing looked at a middle-aged man beside Li Xiu and said, "After a month, can General Li think clearly!" ”

Hearing this, Li Guangbi immediately knelt down on one knee and arched his hand and said: "In the first battle of Meizhou, His Royal Highness resisted the main force of 70,000 Nanzhao alone with 20,000 tired soldiers, and killed the national strength of Nanzhao in a battle. ”

Overjoyed, to a certain extent, Li Qing takes a fancy to Li Guangbi more than Guo Ziyi, because compared to the latter, Li Guangbi is more like a pure soldier. Last time I came from Beijing, my father allowed me to recruit 30,000 soldiers, and in the future, when these 30,000 new troops are raised, you will be the commander-in-chief, and you Li Guangbi will be in charge of all matters in the army! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your favor, at least two years, at most three years, I will definitely train these 30,000 new troops into the most elite division of a hundred battles in Jiannan Dao, and we will win the battle!" Because of Li Qing's fancy, Li Guangbi was also arrogant for a while.

Seeing that the personnel were properly arranged, an old man in a gray robe with a thin face took two steps forward, bowed down and said, "Subordinate Wu Qing, meet the young master." ”

"You are?" If it weren't for this person's voice, Li Qing wouldn't have noticed that there was such a person standing in the hall at some point.

"The young master has ever heard of the Wu family's secrets, over the years, the Jingshi Chang'an has been rumored that the Wu family's secrets are a small number of people but the skills of the secret guard force, in fact, the fact is as they guessed, the predecessor of the Wu family's secrets is the terrifying plum blossom embroidery guard during the period of the Empress Zetian, there are more than 30,000 people in the heyday, divided into, the sun, moon and stars four groups, each group has a clear division of labor, and the four spirit guards under the command of the young master have similarities, but time passes, the original force is Wu Sansi in charge, It can also be regarded as a protective force left by Empress Zetian for the Wu family, but later the Wu clan was all executed by Empress Zetian, and Concubine Hui Niangniang was the only surviving bloodline of the Wu family, and this power naturally came to the hands of Concubine Hui, but at that time, there was no one in the plum blossom embroidery guard, and all the peripheral members were scattered, only some core members remained, which was less than 300 people. ”

"Concubine Hui once said, if the young master has no intention of the emperor, we don't have to show up, if the young master is unwilling and intends to compete with those people in Chang'an City, we must show up and help the young man! Wu Qing, the second commander of the subordinate plum blossom embroidery guard group, led two hundred plum blossom embroidery guards to help His Highness! ”

"I didn't expect that after so many years, the gentle and loving queen mother in her impression was still unwilling to interfere with her wishes, although in her heart she hoped that she could ascend to that position, but never imposed this expectation on herself."

With red eyes, Li Qing looked at the people in the hall, and said word by word: "Okay, I will take that seat sooner or later, as a son of man, I will never let the queen mother down, and those who owe our mother and son in Chang'an City will always have to be replaced!" ”

I don't know when, the footsteps in the hall of Shouwang's Mansion sounded, and Ma Hongyuan, the general of Hanzhou, appeared in front of Li Qing in civilian clothes, looked at the people in the hall in surprise, paused for a long time, and then said: "I heard that His Highness has 30,000 soldiers in Jianmen Pass, I don't know what His Highness wants?" ”

"As the envoy of Jiannan Dao, General Ben mobilized 30,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid there is no need to report to General Ma!"

"Your Highness, Nanzhao has retired, now after all, it is not a war, at such a sensitive time, without the permission of the imperial court, it is a great crime to conspire against it, and I hope Your Highness will not make a mistake and become a thousand hatreds!"

"Over the years, General Ma has followed the king to the east and west, it is really hard, and it is not more than half a month to reunite with his family all year round, it is better to take the opportunity to return to Chengdu this time to cultivate well in Chengdu, and the king of Hanzhou will send someone to deal with it!"

Hearing this, Ma Hongyuan, who has always been very well cultivated, looked at the familiar face in front of him with a stunned face, and said tentatively: "What if the last general disagrees?" ”

"It's not a secret, the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by my son have already been prepared in the East Camp of Chengdu, and this king has given an order, hurry up and whip up, and you can arrive at the city of Hanzhou within one day!"

"Haha, it turned out that the young marshal of the famous Jiannan personally went out, His Highness really looks down on my eight thousand soldiers and horses in Hanzhou, I have a good young marshal in Jiannan Dao, but His Highness has to kill them all?"

Looking at Ma Hongyuan, who had followed him for many years, after a pause for a while, Li Qing said with a fierce expression: "How can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?" As the gateway of Chengdu, Hanzhou is very important, and the soldiers and horses of Hanzhou are the elite of the towns in Jiannan, and they must be guarded against, but this king is not a ruthless person after all, over the years, if there is no general, this king will not control Jiannan Road so quickly, blame you and I have never been all the way! No matter what time it is, General Ma's family can be safe and sound! ”
