Although this family matter is embarrassing, it can still be solved in the end, Li Mao has another family matter, which is mixed with official affairs, but it is not so easy to solve.

It has been almost two years since the capital of Chang'an, and Tian Qing, who is far away in Bohai, still refuses to return, and in the exchange of letters, he actually brought out a secret and ugly thing of Queen Su Qing in the past to threaten her, asking Li Mao to send Li Zun to Bohai, and then she returned to Chang'an.

In the past, the south was not peaceful, and Li Mao couldn't help him, but now that the world is rough, Li Mao is becoming more and more intolerable.

He called Zheng Xiaozhang, Chang Mucang, Qin Fengmian, and Li Guotai, and said bluntly: "Longquan and Anyuan are thousands of miles apart, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip. On the day Li Zun entered Longquan Mansion, you want to bring back someone for me, and the four of you must give me an answer for this matter. ”

The four of them received the order and began to prepare.

The southern expeditionary army commanded by Mu Dahai, Li Zhang, and Li Ming marched south from Yuezhou, joined the Hunan army in Tanzhou, and joined the Jiangxi army in Chenzhou, broke through Shaozhou, and went south along the river. The city of Guangzhou was besieged, the puppet Han king Liu He abandoned the city and left, boating on the sea, the mother sea out of the reward of 10,000 gold, the pirates of the South China Sea responded to the order, captured Liu He and his family to offer.

The mother sea divided the army to the west, and Lu Zhen joined forces in Wuzhou, and the combined army swept Rong, Yong, and Gui three through the slightly managed land, Li Mao combined the three places together, set up the Guizhou Jiedu envoy, and the mother sea as the Jiedu envoy concurrently served as the protector of Annan.

Moved Li Zhang to the Lingnan Festival envoy.

Li Ming returned to Beijing in triumph and offered his prisoners in front of the Taimiao.

At the turn of the autumn and winter of the second year of Daxing, civil unrest broke out in Longquan Road, and the place could not be calmed.

In the summer of the third year of Daxing, Wang Jian, the general of the Zuo Weiyuan Army, the Duke of Qiu, and the envoy of Liaodong Jiedu, was the ambassador of Longquan Dao, and the general of the Zuowei Army, the male horse Xiong'an of Laiyang County, and Li Zun, the king of Bohai County, were the deputy envoys, and raised 20,000 troops to conquer Longquan.

The army pressed the border, and Longquan and Anyuan trembled, and suddenly fell into chaos.

……

Outside an inconspicuous mansion in the south of Longquan Mansion, there are dozens of men in strong suits, heavily guarded.

Ten black oil cloth carriages lined up and parked in the alley outside the wall, this alley is not prosperous, but it is by no means inaccessible, people pass by here every day, only know that the wall is high, the bamboo forest in the wall, the quiet birdsong, it is expected to be a person with a great background, what is the identity but do not know, even in Longquan Mansion people who have lived for most of their lives do not know much. The elites who floated in the upper echelons of Longquan Mansion and boasted of having everything inside and outside were full of awe of this mansion, and they would never dare to approach it, because they knew that it was inhabited by the most powerful people in the Bohai Sea.

After Tian Qi got up early and dressed up, she sat lazily, instead of starting the day as usual, she was waiting for someone, but this person had not arrived.

Because of her cleverness and promotion, she is already her most powerful assistant, and she can be regarded as a confidant, she knows who Tian Qian is waiting for, and she also knows what the arrival of this person will bring to her future life, she is a little nervous, and there is some inexplicable panic, although she is only sixteen years old, she is already one of the most powerful people in Longquan Mansion, her power comes from the people she serves with all her heart, but today this person is also showing a decline, because there are two people who will come from distant Chang'an.

Longquan Mansion has always been lonely, they are the masters here, their fluttering words can make the assassins, generals sweat, but also make the unruly tribal leaders bow to their ears, they are the masters of this land, this relationship is they painstakingly conquered by force, not anyone's charity.

They have deep roots and lush leaves, do not move in the wind and rain, and cannot fall down by thunder, why are they so helpless by two Chang'an visitors?

Xiao Ming can't figure it out, she believes that many people can't figure it out.

She went out to inspect again, and there were people inside and outside the courtyard that she had transferred to prepare for the unexpected, they were all elites of Longquan Mansion, and they all had the ability to fight against ten and were loyal to death.

They are extremely down-to-earth in her heart, but this kind of steadfastness is not at all for her beloved master, and she is officially decadent to the extreme today.

Who is Chang'an, why hasn't she met yet, so she is so depressed?

She walked out of the gate and looked at the street, in the eyes of outsiders, this is just an ordinary day, there is a civil unrest outside the city, and the imperial court has sent troops to suppress it, which is a good thing for them, of course, Longquan Mansion is so big, and the official army is from afar, it will take a while to win, during this time, how to live the life and how to live, those sad and sad glory have little to do with them.

It was still the ten wagons and the vigorously armed guards roaming around, and everything was still the same as before.

"Gao Wen is really unreliable, he turned his face and fought with them hotly, wasting his mother's cultivation of him."

"The one who knows the times is Junjie, he is right to do this, I can't bear this level, I can't bear it, how can he bear it."

"To say a big disrespectful word, he is inevitably too domineering, Bohai is not false that he beat down, but it is the mother you steady, you have worked hard for so many years, why do you say take it back. simply recruited soldiers and horses from all parts of the army and fought him to the end. ”

"You are still young, and you have never been to Chang'an, let alone seen him, you don't care about these words to you, but you have to remember not to say it again in the future, especially after arriving in Chang'an, there are many rules in the palace, and people's hearts are more evil, so you can't be willful as here."

Xiao Ming went out to see again, everything was as usual, nothing changed.

"I didn't come so late, I'm afraid I'm afraid of us, I don't dare to come." A guard asked Xiao Ming with a hippie smile, his name is Nu Zhuang, although he is older than Xiao Ming, his mind is not as deep as her, and he is a little childish when he asks.

"Go, go, what do you know, watch your door, there are more and more Chang'an dogs outside."

Xiao Ming sharpened her teeth and sent Nu Zhuang very hard, turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly a person rushed to report and reported: "Here, the guests of Chang'an are here." Xiao Ming's heart tightened for no reason, she was a little scared, and suddenly thought about what she was afraid of, this is her own territory, although the Eastern Expeditionary Army is menacing, it is still hundreds of miles away from here. This Longquan Mansion is still his own territory, and I am afraid that he will do something.

The door opened, and the two deputy envoys sent by Tian Qian to greet him walked in with a pair of men and women, the man was tall and handsome, with a dignified complexion, and the woman had a well-proportioned figure, a good face, and a pair of sharp eyes that could kill. None of the four of them spoke, and the atmosphere was depressing and deep. Xiao Ming couldn't help but fight the cold war, she has seen many high-ranking officials and generals, and there are not a few who are majestic and unruly, but she has never seen such a serious and majestic person.

She hurriedly took a shortcut, entered the small courtyard through the back door, and reported: "Here they are, here they are." ”

She had tried to calm her mind, but her words were still vibrato. "I see." Tian Qian smiled at her, got up and greeted her in the courtyard. Tian Qian was wearing virtuous makeup, and a man and a woman took the initiative to salute her when they saw this. In the Yan State system, when the foreign ministers see the prince and the palace concubine, it depends on each other's ranks, the palace concubine does not kneel to the foreign minister, and the foreign minister above the fifth rank does not kneel to the palace concubine and the prince. Xianyi is the second grade, and the people who come are not as good as the second grade, so they bow down with the etiquette of a humble official.

The man and the woman straightened up and reported their names, one was Chen Muyang, and the other was Yi Qiao. Xiao Ming was secretly taken aback when he heard this, Chen Muyang was the right judge of the Long Xiang Army, and he was in power, and Yi Qiao was the commander of the Dafeng Battalion of the Left Long Xiang Army, both of them were ruthless characters, no wonder they were so majestic.

Chen Muyang said to Tian Qing: "Xianyi has guarded the border for the country for many years, and has worked hard, His Majesty misses it very much, and specially sent the two of us to welcome the mother back to the palace." ”

Tian Qian said: "There can be a holy decree." ”

Yi Qiao said: "There is a letter from His Majesty." ”

took out Li Mao's edict and handed it to Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming checked whether it was poisonous in front of her before giving it to Tian Ming, she didn't like her clever eyes, and she didn't like her arrogance, so she deliberately made this action ugly to her. Yi Qiao didn't say anything, just glanced at her, Xiao Ming was calm on the surface, but panicked in her heart: her eyes were not only sharp, but also a little evil.
