At dawn, Leon woke up, put on his clothes, and after washing, he went out to see Triste practicing his sword. Silver curves appeared in the air, and several of the wind-blown petals of the banyan tree in the courtyard were cut in two.

"Good knife technique." Li Ang clapped his hands, he also practiced knives, but with such accurate and fast knife techniques, he couldn't do it.

Trist saw Leon walk out and put away the double knife, he had been practicing the double knife technique since he was a child, and later left Rome, after a long battle, he used to cut thirteen flowers in an instant, but now he can only barely do it in an instant.

asked Trist, who had put away the knife, to check out in the front hall of the inn, and Li Ang went straight to Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang.

"What, the emperor asked you to go to Taixue to study?"

"That's right." Li Ang looked at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang's somewhat strange eyes, and frowned, "By the way, we're moving, just in Hanlin Fang next to Taixue, pack your luggage, and when I bring my sister back, we'll go over together." ”

Looking at Li Ang's departing figure, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang couldn't help laughing, they were looking forward to the days when Li Ang was studying in Taixue, and they really wanted to see him sitting obediently in the school hall and listening to the lecture.

"The master asked the second master to come to the house for a gathering in the evening, saying that there is something important to discuss." In the mansion, the housekeeper Wang Sheng reluctantly handed over Qingzhi to Li Ang, and in the past three years, he and the people in the mansion have become accustomed to this well-behaved little girl by their side.

"I see. Tell the eldest brother that I will definitely come in the evening. Li Ang picked up Qingzhi and smiled at Wang Sheng, "I will come back to Qingzhi often in the future." ”

"Yes, Grandpa Wang, Qingzhi will come back to see you and your uncle often." Qingzhi nested in Li Ang's arms, and said sweetly to Wang Sheng, who was a little sad, which made the old housekeeper smile in his eyes.

Return to the inn. Seeing everyone, Qing Zhi was still a little scared at first, but she soon got better and played with Huo Xiaoyu, who was two years younger, which made Li Ang feel a lot more at ease.

"Your sister is very well-behaved and cute, I like her very much." Walk over to Leon's side. Looking at Qing Zhi who was playing with Huo Xiaoyu and Lin Fengshuang in the distance, Feng Siniang said with a smile.

"If you like it." Li Ang didn't look back, just looked at Qing Zhidao, who was smiling happily in the distance.

"But she seems to prefer to be with Sister Lin." Feng Siniang glanced at Lin Fengshuang, who was smiling and having fun with the two little girls.

"Actually, she likes you a lot, too." Li Ang glanced at Feng Siniang with a smile, picked up the luggage with the three people who came over, Tulle, Trist, and Cen Ji, greeted a few people, left the inn, and got into the rented car. Go straight to the south of the city.

"Is this the new home, looking at the big mansion in front of you." Qing Zhi clapped her hands. jumped out of the car and ran into the house with Huo Xiaoyu. Li Ang and the others looked at the happiness of the two children, and also walked into the mansion with a smile.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone only felt a burst of verdant shade, and the cool breeze with the faint fragrance of flowers blew, making several people intoxicated in this quiet courtyard. "This is my home!" Li Ang put down the luggage in his hand, looked at the elegant house not far away, and smiled.

"Alright, let's get to work. Lao Cen, go and sweep the yard..."Feng Siniang rolled up her sleeves and began to assign everyone to clean the courtyard hall. And Trist, and Tulle were all busy doing it, and Yuan Luoshen led Qingzhi and Huo Xiaoyu to help on the side.

Seeing that only he was idle, Li Ang also wanted to help everyone, but he was drunk by Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang at the same time, and Lin Fengshuang said eloquently, and drove Li Ang to the pond in the backyard and looked at the lotus flowers in the afternoon.

Before evening, looking at the halls and wings that had been newly arranged by Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, Li Ang couldn't help but secretly look at the three of them, not far from them, who were already so tired that they had almost half a life left, and suddenly felt that it was not bad to look at the lotus flowers.

"Okay, will you go to that General Guo?" Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang tidied up the clothes on Li Ang's body together, and they almost said in unison.

Walking on the street, thinking of Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, who were sorting out his clothes at the same time, Li Ang felt a little unaccustomed, but he was not disgusted in his heart, but he liked the serious expressions of the two of them when they were dressing for him.

'Do I like her?' Suddenly, Li Ang was stunned in place, he thought of Lin Fengshuang's gorgeous face, and muttered to himself, "How could it be..."

When the lights were on, Li Ang arrived at Guo Nudi's mansion, and the young man in Tsing Yi, who was in front of the door, saw him from afar, ran over to lead the horse for him, and welcomed him in. Entering the front hall, Li Angzheng saw the figure of the old man he met on the street that day, Guo Nu stood beside him, and he was holding the gift of his nephew, which made him more sure that this old man was Guo Ran, the chief of the three commanders of the military hall.

"The last general has seen the chief man." Li Ang stood up straight and saluted, in the White Tiger Festival Hall, he had already seen the great Sima Zhou Ting who was sleeping all day long and was called 'Wolong', counting the elusive chief man in front of him who was known as the 'Divine Dragon', he was only short of the Tai Lieutenant Cao Yu, who had never entered the military hall for ten years and was called the 'Hidden Dragon'.

"This is a private meeting, and there is no need to perform a military salute." Guo Ran glanced at Li Ang and smiled.

After the three of them entered the table, Li Ang was always very restrained, the three commanders of the military hall, the Tai Lieutenant nominally controlled the soldiers and horses of the world, and the Grand Sima Counselor was the military officer, and only the chief executive held the real power, and was in charge of the staff officers of the White Tiger Festival Hall and the foreign capitals. Looking at the old man sitting on the top floor, Li Ang guessed in his heart the intention of the chief elder.

"This is the Black Lance Dragon Defending Territory." Taking out the brocade box from his arms, Guo Ran handed it to Li Ang and motioned for him to open it.

Opening the brocade box, Li Ang saw a black iron order, which was covered with dragon patterns, engraved with his name, and on the side of the iron order, there were four silver dragon emblems, pinned on both sides of the neckline, his official position was equivalent to jumping two levels in a row, jumping from the commander to the thousand households.

"From today on, you are the Black Lance Dragon Guard, and the Black Cavalry Thousand Households, as for the other 50,000 gold baht reward, I will order someone to send it to your mansion." Guo Ran said slowly, his eyes staring at Li Ang.

"Well, no wonder that sleepy insect said that you are not alarmed, and you have the style of a general." Seeing that Li Ang's face was calm and unmoved by the reward, Guo Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Li Ang was a little surprised by the reward of 50,000 gold baht, and he asked, "Chief Lord, although the last general has merit, the reward of 50,000 gold baht is still too generous, right?" ”

"It's not thick, but I don't want to reward much?" Guo Ran thought that when the cabinet took out this money, his heart ached, no

Di laughed, "You can use this money." ”

"Then thank you, Mr. Chief." Li Ang thought for a while, thinking that the military hall needed the approval of the cabinet, and he understood that for the military hall, any opportunity to snatch money from the cabinet should be grabbed as much as possible.

"I came to you this time, in fact, I wanted you to do something." After three rounds of drinking, Li Ang finally heard the chief in front of him talk about the topic.

"In August, the Six Kingdoms of Tangzhou, the prince of the Three Kingdoms of Heaven and Prince An Changsheng of Rome will come to Chang'an, they will stay in Taixue for two years, and before the expatriate army returns, the White Tiger Festival Hall is understaffed."

"The chief is going to protect how many sons will he go to?" Li Ang said quietly, and sat up straight.

"Yes, at that time, the princes will disguise themselves as ordinary foreigners to enter Taixue to study, and I need you to protect the princes in secret, until the sixth team of the military king rushes back." Guo Ran glanced at Li Angdao, who had become serious, and said, "These princes, the prince is very important to the hegemony of Great Qin, and you can still refuse now." ”

"The last general is under the orders of the commander-in-chief." Li Ang stood up, struck his chest with his right fist, and solemnly accepted the military order. Guo Nu, who had been sitting without speaking, looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Young man, bold, I like it very much." Guo Ran nodded with satisfaction, what he needed was someone like Li Ang who was responsible and could stand alone, although his record in the Turks was enough to show his strength, but he still had to see it with his own eyes to count.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to your mansion..."Guo Ran looked at his waist and sat up straight. Li Ang, who could see the smell of a soldier at a glance, frowned and said, "Then they will tell you what to do in the future." ”

"Chief, how many questions will there be at the end, I don't know if I can ask?" Li Ang suddenly looked at the frowning chief.

"You ask, right?" Guo Ran nodded, he didn't like rigid subordinates, and Li Ang's problem was for him, and it was also the potential of this young man who was favored by the emperor that could be seen.

"The last general wants to know if the chief has specific information about the enemies who want to be unfavorable to several princes?"

"The Pacification Division fell into a purge. The news I got was three months ago, and it will only be clear after the rectification of the Zhenfu Division that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are currently taking over, but their intelligence strength in foreign countries is insufficient, and they have no big role for the time being. ”

"So can you look at the information of the past countries from the past? Find out the approximate enemy? ”

Looking at Li Ang, who was frowning slightly, there was a smile in the eyes of the chief man, and among the people he was looking for, this was the third one to ask like this, "The general enemy, the anti-Great Qin forces in these countries, and those who peep into the position of the prince are all enemies." ”

Leon's brow furrowed even tighter, he was completely unable to limit the enemy's range, and for him, this military trip was a tricky one. But in the end, he still asked one last question, "Chief." I don't know if there will be forces in Chang'an to collude with outsiders, I think Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not strong enough in foreign countries. Is it possible to start from Chang'an? ”

"You're the first person to ask." Guo Ran glanced at Li Ang approvingly, and said with a smile, "You have right, I have already ordered someone to investigate, but there is no detailed information for the time being, but I know that there is a family involved." ”

"Any other questions?" Looking at Li Ang, Guo Ran had some expectations, this young man thought about the problem very comprehensively. And the entry point is straight to the point, which is worth cultivating.

"Nope." Leon replied. I began to think about the security work after August.

"By the way, let me tell you one thing, the sister of King Qiling who is with you, Lin Fengshuang, is none other than King Qiling himself." Looking at Li Ang in contemplation, Guo Ran suddenly said, his words made Li Ang stunned.

"The real King of Qiling died at a very young age, and the previous Uighur Khan, fearing that the tribe would be torn apart without an heir, let his daughter wear a mask instead of his dead son, and that daughter's name was Lin Fengshuang, and her mother, Lin Qinglian, was the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Jiangnan."

"I hope you can let her also enroll in Taixue, there are some places where it is not convenient for you men." Guo Ran looked at Li Ang in surprise and said inexplicably, "The prestige of her desert overlord sword is only stronger than that of ordinary brave futures!" ”

"Of course, you don't have to force it, if she doesn't want to, forget it." Guo Ran stood up from the banquet and said lightly, "I can see that the reason why she wants to fake her death is probably for you, that girl really likes you." After speaking, Guo Ran left.

After a long time, Li Ang looked at Guo Nu beside him and muttered, "I should have guessed that it was hers, the two of them are as tall, I..."

"A man who has not been deceived by a woman is not a real man." Guo Nu looked at Li Ang and smiled, "Besides, she lied to you, and she also had a hard time." ”

"I understand." Li Ang said in a low voice, he remembered the loneliness when Lin Fengshuang told him about fireworks that night, and the gentle look on her face when she was dressing for him today.

"I'm not blaming her, I'm just..." Li Ang thought of Feng Siniang, and then thought of Lin Fengshuang, who overlapped with King Qiling, and lowered his head.

"There are two beautiful women who like you, and for others, it's a good thing to ask for." Guo smiled angrily and poured a glass of wine to the bottom of Li Ang's door, "Let go of your arms and accept it, how can a man be a mother-in-law?" ”

After drinking, Li Ang calmed himself down, he looked at Guo Nu, and asked quietly, "Big brother, why does the chief elder know about this news, isn't the Zhenfu Division rectifying?" ”

"He knew the news a long time ago, because her mother was the eldest daughter of the Jiangnan Lin family." Guo Nu glanced at Li Ang and replied, "Twenty-five years ago, the Lin family and the Sun family in Jiangnan got married, but the bride ran away and fled without a trace, and the two families turned their faces. ”

"The chief man found out a long time ago, but there is no need to say it." Guo Nu glanced at Li Ang, "There are some things that you still don't want to know, just do yourself." ”

Li Ang lowered his head, he understood Guo Nu's words, it was very likely that the escape marriage twenty-five years ago was planned by the imperial dynasty, and the purpose was just to prevent the marriage of the two local great families, which was the real way to check and balance power.

"Big brother, I'll go back first." Li Ang stood up, said quietly to Guo Nu, and walked into the darkness outside.

"It is good to be quiet, but how can people in the world be satisfied with the world." Guo Nu looked at Li Ang's back, shook his head and sighed, and drank all the wine in the cup.
