Now that the grand strategy has been decided, the next step is to refine how to implement it. How to use Lan Lianchang's chess piece is the key.

Judge Fan said: "Your Royal Highness, Lord Duhu, Hou Ye, there is a plan for humble duties, Lan Lianchang will inevitably show his true identity to Hou Ye in the near future, and invite Hou Ye to see Chen Si'an, Chen Si'an will surrender to Tang on the surface, and then send a special envoy to Beijing to meet the emperor, the road is far away, messengers come and go, deliberately delay time, this year has almost passed, Chen Si'an took this opportunity to fight hard, everything is ready, he will join forces with Wu Yue to attack, Chen Si'an is a plan to delay the army, we might as well plan it." ”

Li Jian said with a smile: "It is the Marquis of Xinzhou's forte, and the female spy that Cousin Xuan has kept should come in handy, right?" ”

Zhou Xuan's heart sank slightly, he felt that Xiahou's tassel was quite pitiful, and he wanted to use a beauty trick on him, but instead he became a chess piece in his hand!

These days together, Zhou Xuan obviously feels that Xiahou Tassel's attitude towards him has completely changed, especially after the two have a bedside relationship, Xiahou Tassel is simply infatuated with him, maybe it is just a woman's infatuation with carnal desire for the first time, it can't be said that he loves or not, but no matter what, he inevitably feels a little sorry in his heart-

"Dude, isn't your heart too soft? Xiahou tassel was hiding a knife in her skirt and wanted to kill me, if it weren't for my wit, maybe I would have died in Xuanzhou, this kind of woman can't stay by her side, it's huge and vague, and she has martial arts, sooner or later it's a scourge, or fight it early, she and I are enemies, it is destined to be no good result, and it is good for me to leave her alive. ”

Zhou Xuan thought like this, and said: "Then let's have a series of plans, on the one hand, let Chen Si'an suspect that the three surnames of the barbarian Pan, Lei, and Zhong have a connection with our Tang State, and on the other hand, secretly send someone to inform the patriarchs of Pan, Lei, and Zhong, saying that Chen Si'an will do something to them and let them be on guard, so that the three surnames will not be caught off guard by Chen Si'an." The stalemate between the two sides is in the best interest of our Tang State. ”

Li Jianlian said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

At this time, someone from Zhou Xuan's Mansion came to report that a person who claimed to be the son of Lian Chang asked to see Hou Ye, saying that there was something extremely important.

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Lan Lianchang can't hold his breath, Your Highness, Uncle Lin, Xu, Fan, then I'll go back to the house first." ”

Chen Ji and Zhou Xuan went back together, Chen Ji naturally wanted to live in Zhou Xuan's mansion, and Zhou Xuan and Chen Ji put their arms into the mansion. The handsome and extraordinary Prince Lian Chang sat in the gatehouse, quite impatiently coping with Ding Desheng and Wangcai's questions, and when he saw Zhou Xuan, he quickly got up and saluted: "Master Zhou, Qingyuan Lan Lianchang is polite." ”

Zhou Xuan was stunned: "Lan Lianchang? Lian Chang's son is actually surnamed Lan. I always thought that Gongzi Lianchang's surname was Lian Mingchang, what important thing did Gongzi Lan want to see me? Please come to the hall and speak. ”

When he came to the hall, the guest and the host sat down, the little maid served tea, and Zhou Xuan said: "If Lan Gongzi has something to say, just say it, is it that Huiqingyuan lacks entanglement?" Benhou is kind and generous, although you open your mouth, don't be ashamed. ”

Gongzi Lian Chang said in his heart: "You treat me as the one who comes to fight the autumn wind." What a joke, there are 100,000 people under my clan, and there are countless jewels, gold and silver, how can you compare with your little Xinzhou Hou! said: "Hou Ye, there is no shortage of money in the next place, there is really a big matter to discuss with Hou Ye, please retreat." Looking at Chen Ji, I don't know who this person is?

Zhou Xuan said: "Lan Gongzi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, this is my best friend, surnamed Chen Mingji." His father is the Hongzhou Thorn Shi, and his uncle is the squire of the military department, and he is the new general Mingwei and has just returned from training in Jianzhou. ”

Gongzi Lian Chang already knew that Chen Kai, the squire of the Tang State Military Department, was training in the Yong'an Metropolitan Protectorate, and when he heard that Chen Ji was Chen Kai's nephew, he was secretly frightened, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Chen, disrespectful." Immediately stopped hiding it and revealed his identity to Zhou Xuan and the others.

Zhou Xuan frowned slightly, his eyes were suspicious, and he said lightly: "Lan Gongzi's city is deep." What is the intention of deceiving me all this time, and now showing your identity? ”

Gongzi Lian Chang apologized again and again, indicating his intentions, saying that Chen Si'an intended to meet Zhou Xuan, and Qingyuan was still a vassal of the Tang State. Chen Duhu is still loyal to Emperor Li Yu

Zhou Xuan frowned and asked, "How did Prince Lian Chang know that I had a secret decree of the Tang Emperor?" ”

Gongzi Lian Chang said in his heart: "Xiahou tassels are still very useful. Their identity cannot be revealed at this time. Then he said: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, this is the news from Beijing." In fact, Wang Simou didn't have time to reply.

Zhou Xuan pondered for a while. said: "Young Master Lan must also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in Jiangzhou, and I will make a decision when I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision, but I am afraid that Chen Duhu is vain and wronged, and his sincerity is insufficient." ”

Gongzi Lian Chang hurriedly said: "Full of sincerity, full of sincerity, Chen Duhu will send an advance envoy to Beijing to pay tribute, and Chen Duhu will personally go to Jinling to meet His Majesty the Emperor this winter or next spring." Xin said: "The plan to delay the army is a while, my brother-in-law will go to Jinling, but he will lead the troops." ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and said: "Chen Duhu is willing to enter Beijing to see him, it is enough to show loyalty, and Lan Gongzi will follow me to see the prince to show Chen Duhu's loyalty." ”

Prince Lian Chang followed Zhou Xuan to the Duhu Mansion to meet the crown prince Li Jian, Li Jian was angry at first, and said: "Chen Si'an learned that my Tang Kingdom was going to cut off trade with it, so he asked to see him, this kind of loyalty, don't do it, cousin Xuan, Qingyuan doesn't have to go, I will make it clear to my father." ”

The prince of Lian Chang begged each other bitterly, trying his best to show that Chen Si'an was loyal, and he had no choice but to pay tribute all these years, because the Shanha people did not accept it and often gathered to make trouble.

Zhou Xuan said on the side: "Your Highness, since I am ordered to go south, it is better to go to Quanzhou to meet Chen Duhu, if Chen Si'an is sincere, then continue to trade, if Chen Si'an Yang is disobedient, then resolutely close the business, so that the people of Qingyuan will not say that His Majesty the Emperor abandoned them, but that Chen Si'an is disloyal and unjust." ”

Li Jian said: "Since Cousin Xuan said so, then go and see it, Cousin Xuan." ”

Gongzi Lian Chang secretly exclaimed that he was worried that Li Jian and Zhou Xuan would ask Chen Si'an to come to Jiangzhou to meet, and he had thought of all the excuses, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to mention it at all, it seems that this merry marquis likes to play in the mountains and rivers, and he wants to play all the way to Qingyuan.

It was agreed at the moment that at the beginning of June, Zhou Xuan went to Qingyuan with Lianchang Gongzi, Zhou Xuan also returned to the house to prepare for the trip, and he was going to leave in three days, Qin Que and Su Needle thought that they were going to follow their husbands to Jinling, but they didn't expect that their husbands were going to Qingyuan and then take them into Beijing, there were more than 2,000 miles to Quanzhou, and the mountain roads were difficult to travel, and it would take almost two months to go back and forth.

Qin Que said: "When the husband comes back from Qingyuan, Sister Suzhen is about to give birth, and Xiao Zhi will give birth." ”

The sewing needle said happily: "The delivery period is roughly late August, and the husband must rush back." ”

Zhou Xuan stroked the big belly of the needle and said with a smile: "I must rush back early, and then enter Beijing after the needle is born, the emperor should make my Xiaozhiruo the county lord." ”

The daughter's name is Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhou Xuan now recognizes it, because everyone in the house calls it that, and they all praise this name.

Xiahou Tassel learned that Zhou Xuan was going south to Qingyuan, and she was secretly happy in her heart, she didn't know that Lian Changgongzi was a plan to delay the army, and Yang Feng Yin was violated, thinking that Chen Si'an really wanted to make peace with Tang Guo, and she was looking forward to being with Zhou Xuan, and she was willing to be his concubine, so she immediately asked Zhou Xuan to take her, and she went back to her hometown in Jianzhou to see, and she was familiar with the customs of Fujian, and she could also translate the Fujian dialect for Zhou Xuantong.

Xiahou tassel has such a good reason, of course Zhou Xuan has to take her. On May 28, Fenghua Jiedu made Lin Dai's second son Lin Duo and Xu Danyuan, the daughter of Xu Qing, the assassin of Jiangzhou, get married.

That night, Zhou Xuan and Li Jian had a banquet together, and suddenly a little maid came over and said, "Master Zhou, the second lady is invited." ”

Zhou Xuan looked at Li Jian, slightly embarrassed.

Li Jian said with a smile: "Cousin Xuan doesn't have to scruples, the queen mother has already told me that Miss Lin admires Cousin Xuan, I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw it this time, I was convinced, Miss Lin looked at you with what kind of eyes, I can't see that it's really eyeless, although Cousin Xuan asks Lin Du to protect his relatives, his brother is not narrow-minded, and the most important thing for my brother is that he is not a sibling with Cousin Xuan, but it is better than a brotherhood." ”

It is worthy of being the prince who will have three palaces and six courtyards to be the emperor in the future, and he is really magnanimous, Zhou Xuan is absolutely impossible, and respectfully: "Brother Jian is really a hero, eloquent and strategic, benevolent and friendly, and the foolish brother dares not to die!" The conversation changed and said, "Why don't you be a matchmaker for me and propose to Lin Duhu?" I'm Lin Du's nephew, so it's hard to speak. ”

Li Jian felt a little unhappy, after all, Lin Hanyun was the girl he liked, but Zhou Xuan praised him as a heroic master, and asked him to be a matchmaker so frankly, which shows that the brotherhood is deep and mutual trust is true, so he said: "Okay, I'll go to Lin Duhu to propose to cousin Xuan, haha, my nephew has become a son-in-law, good story." Zhou Xuan took a deep look: "There is Brother Lao Jian, and the foolish brother will feel the five guilty, and he will do his best to assist Brother Jian to achieve a great cause." ”

I'm almost going back to Jinling tomorrow, and there is a book friend in the just comment area who wrote how to overthrow the Jingyi Fairy, and the trail sweated wildly.
