At dusk, the sky was slightly red, and in the wine shop by the Qingshui River, several people came in with a young man with a pale face, and the young man staggered, and finally calmed down, only to notice that someone was smiling and waving to him under the dim candle light of the wine shop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Is it Wu Gongzi? If you're frightened, sit down, there's wine here, let's have a drink to suppress the shock. Wu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then smiled indifferently, walked over and drank the wine glass in front of him.

"Ahem" flushed his face, and his originally throbbing heart barely calmed down at the moment, "What are you going to do?" My Wu family is not easy to bully......"

The person on the other side didn't argue with Wu Zhen either, and when he finished speaking, he filled him with another glass of wine, always with a smile on his face, and motioned for the other party to drink another glass.

"The world is difficult, it is indeed not easy for the Wu family to keep the next party safe and save thousands of lives in this situation, and I also admire what Master Wu has done." The other party's words made Wu Zhen a little surprised, "Wu Gongzi has another drink?" ”

The candle flame moved slightly, the night breeze was slightly cool, and at this moment, Wu Zhen saw the other party's face clearly, it was a face a few years younger than himself, delicate and handsome, with a kind complexion, and a little juvenile childishness.

"has not yet been introduced, in Xia Yecheng Li Taibai, my father, Li He, the general of the Northwest, is nicknamed the Desperate Scholar." Wu Zhen was stunned again, his eyes looked straight at the young man opposite, and his mind was full of confusion.

In the distance, the sound of horse-drawn carriages came from far and near......

Thousands of miles away, in the general's mansion in Yecheng, the woman had just cleaned up the account books and documents in front of her, stretched her body, and a maid brought up the hot bird's nest.

"Miss, drink it while it's hot."

"Did the old lady go and see it? Slept? The woman took the bowl, and the heat rose over a delicate face.

"Go, I'm already asleep, she's happy to read the young master's letter."

The woman nodded, drank in small sips, and the maid looked at her, and began to think about it again, mostly all kinds of trivial things in the house, "Childe too, wrote several pages for the old lady, and one page for the young lady." ”

"You dead girl, start talking nonsense again, be careful of family law." The woman handed the bowl to the maid and glared at her fiercely.

The maid consciously said that she had leaked her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and ran away with the bowl, and the woman smiled helplessly, walked over and closed the door.

Walked back to the desk, took out a simple booklet from a few poetry books on the desk, took out the letterhead from his arms, spread it out in front of him, compared the two, and wrote the content on the rice paper on one side, "Wan'er, personally open, see the words like faces, the situation in the northwest is grim, and the difficulties of the trade route ......"

Originally, there was only one page of the letter, but Dong Xiaowan wrote nearly four pages, with a smile on his face, but there was a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows, since Li Huai went north to Beijing, leaving Hongji business for him to manage, mainly the account details and material allocation, Li Huai left Hongji's main production base in the deep mountains and old forests on the side of Yecheng, and arranged for Li Chaonian to be responsible for management, but after the New Year, he took people and some materials to the northwest at Li Huai's request, and now only Hu Erniang often comes over to bring Li Huai's news, The Zhu Hu family is now attached to Hong Ji.

Dong Xiaowan read the four pages carefully, and finally put it on the candle flame and burned it to ashes, she is a talented woman, talented and intelligent, and she accepts these things quickly, and she has taken Li Huai very seriously in her heart, knowing that what he does needs to be kept secret, she is even more attentive and careful, and she also proposed to write a letter in the form of a password, the purpose is to ensure Li Huai's safety, and in the conversation and understanding with each other, the teenager who is far away in Beijing also attaches more and more importance to women's feelings, and specially asked the Wang family to take Dong Xiaowan into the Li Mansion, It is the care and affirmation of her.

In the house, according to Li Huaixin, Dong Xiaowan began to write down the names of several people and the items needed on the paper, and the candles in the room were lit until late at night, thinking that everything was ready, she took off her clothes, slept on the bed, glanced at the moonlight outside the window, and silently recited peace in her heart, and then fell asleep......

Under the same moonlight, a few people in the wine shop were not sleepy, Wu Zhuoran was respectful, and he was not strong in the inn during the day, but he was not a little lazy in his heart towards the young man in front of him who was a few years younger than his son.

"Master Wu, sit down, you and I don't have to be polite, I have also seen the methods of your mansion." Li Huai looked at the other party, with a faint smile on his face, although the Wu family used dead soldiers for their assassination during the day, it is a pity that Jude Hai and others have been arrested, and it will naturally be clear after a little interrogation.

"Son, forgive me, we were also coerced by the other party, and I don't know the identity of the son, how much offended, I, Wu Zhuoran, am willing to take it with all my might." Wu Zhuoran looked at the other party and made up his mind in his heart, as long as he could save Wu Zhen's life, it would be worth it.

"Master Wu is too worried, the bandits are threatening, and it is understandable that he will do something against his will for the sake of his closest relatives." Li Huai comforted the other party, "What's more, now that the bandits have been ambushed, the son and the children of the Wu family are all safe and sound, and the result is already happy." I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand things, and I won't explore the misunderstanding between you and me. ”

Li Huai's attitude was sincere, and the father and son of the Wu family naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and they were also grateful to the young man, "Thank you Li Gongzi, this time I have offended a lot, and I will thank you again in the future." ”

"There's no need to thank you, Old Man Wu, I came here for two things this time, one is to eradicate Tian Hu and the others, although it is not a complete battle, but it can be regarded as an end, as for the other thing, whether it can be done or not, I still need to discuss it with the Wu family." Li Huai motioned for the two to sit down, and waved his hand behind him, and a woman in black walked to the table.

"Let me introduce, this is the head of Qinghua Village in Luliang Mountain, Ji Yuehua, known as the black spider." Li Huai introduced, Wu Zhuoran's face changed slightly, Luliang Mountain is not far from here, and the Wu family naturally has some contact and understanding, but most of the other party does not pay attention to the rules, and even looted the surrounding villages in previous years.

Seeing the expressions of the two, the black spider also had a cold face, Li Huai motioned for Ji Yuehua to sit beside him, and then opened his mouth to explain to the Wu family father and son: "I think the two of you may not know, just a few days ago, several mountains in Luliang Mountain colluded with Tian Hu and plotted against him, and Ji Dang's family was difficult to support alone, so he cooperated with me, and now Tian Hu and his ilk have been killed, in order to ensure the safety of Luliang and Liulin County in the future, I specially invited Ji Dangjia to talk about cooperation with the Wu family." ”

Wu Zhen looked at his father beside him, he was naturally willing in his heart, but his father's meaning was the last meaning of the Wu family, not to mention that the matter was important, he naturally didn't dare to speak casually, Wu Zhuoran looked at Li Huai, and looked at Ji Yuehua carefully, the old man's heart was grateful and respected for Li Huai's freedom, but he didn't have much good impression of the people in Lu Liangshan.

"Master Wu, Liulin County and the surrounding areas, I also looked at it in the past two days, and my subordinates also went around the place, and they have an understanding of the situation, this place is close to the Qingshui River, and the Yellow River can be entered along the river, which is a rare good port, it can be said that the merchants gather, the Wu family can hold here, and it can naturally benefit the children and grandchildren, but now the situation in the northwest is changeable, after all, the foundation of the Wu family is too shallow, and other big clans, such as the Qin family, the Wang family and the Min family, are all hundreds of years of foundation, and the relationship with all parties is close, once the northwest changes, it is an opportunity for them, Tian Hu and his ilk also have a lot to rely on, and when the time comes, they will naturally regard this place as a thing in their pockets, and I can get away with saving your son today, but once the war resumes, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do......"

What Li Huai said, Wu Zhuoran naturally also knows that how many years of hard work in the northwest can have the current situation, in addition to the help of the surrounding villagers, there are also a few big clans fighting with each other and have no time to take care of the luck, and now Li Huai is intervening, Tian Hu and others have been at odds with him, and he is only afraid that military disasters will be indispensable in the future, if he can have the protection of the general in the northwest, he will naturally not be able to ask for it, and after thinking about it again, he finally nodded.

"Okay, since Master Wu agrees, then I will tell you the plan, and everyone will refer to it." Li Huai took out the notebook from his arms, and told the three of them the important points, under the candlelight, the faces of the three people were different, but their hearts were full of surprise for what the young man said, thinking that the northwest would never be different again......
