"Yang Lian, come over here, I have something to tell you." The voice came, and it was the voice of Li Jingsui, the king of Qi.

When Princess Huairou heard the voice, her face turned red, she took a step back, pushed Yang Lian hard, and said, "You don't leave yet, what are you doing here?" ”

Yang Lian laughed dryly, after all, he was teasing Princess Huairou, but he was discovered by King Qi, and he also felt a little embarrassed, so he took the opportunity to walk out, outside the door, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, was standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the swallows under the eaves, which were flying in and out busily, as if they were catching insects and feeding the young swallows.

Hearing the footsteps, King Qi did not look back, but said: "Yang Lian, Gu has prepared five hundred taels of gold just now, this time you are north of Shanghai and Chu Prefectures, and there are many places where you need to spend money, so it should be regarded as a little bit of Gu's mind." ”

Yang Lian waved his hand again and again and said, "King Qi, I can't ask for this money." ”

"Why?" King Qi asked suspiciously.

"I have money." Yang Lian said. The last time he came back from Dahan, Yang Lian made a fortune, he said that the money was divided into three parts, one of which was given to Li Jing and Empress Zhong, the other part was given to King Qi, and the remaining part was kept, and Yang Lian took out a small part of the money from the part left to the brothers who died in battle. Although Yang Lian spends a lot of money, the business of the gambling house is on the right track, although it is not a daily income, but the income is still considerable. As for the manor outside the city, Yang Lian can't make much money for the time being.

But in general, Yang Lian still has a sum of money in his hand, so Yang Lian feels that he doesn't need Li Jingsui's funding.

Li Jingsui waved his hand and said, "Yang Lian, you don't have to refuse, although this money is said to be given to you, I hope you will use it for disaster relief." The world has been in turmoil for so many years, and the people are very miserable, I hope you can use this money to buy more food and save more people. ”

Yang Lian was a little surprised, thinking that King Qi's concern for the country and the people was actually a little heavier than Li Jing. Immediately, he felt a little more respect in his heart, and said: "Since this is the case, I will accept it, thank you King Qi." ”

Li Jingsui nodded and said, "This time, it's your best chance, don't let Huairou wait for a long time." ”

Yang Lian remembered the scene just now, his old face flushed slightly, and said, "King Qi, I have something to ask King Qi for help." ”

"Don't be so polite." King Qi waved his hand, he was open-minded by nature, and he had a good relationship with Yang Lian, so he didn't want Yang Lian to be so polite.

Yang Lian smiled and said: "Speaking of which, today is also strange, meeting a Shu ...... people" Yang Lian said, telling Li Jingsui what happened today, but he kept the conflict between the dock and the little official hidden, only said that he met a wealthy businessman and accepted his invitation.

Li Jingsui said: "Bashu is the country of abundance, and the people are relatively wealthy, if you can transport grain from Bashu, this is naturally a good thing." ”

"It's just that they don't have a way, and they still hope that King Qi will help." Yang Lian said. It was with this kind of mind that he helped Fei Yunshan.

Li Jingsui smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just a gesture, tomorrow morning, I will arrange it." In addition, I plan to draw five or six warships from the Long Xiang army to escort you north. “

Yang Lian knew that this was the good intention of the King of Qi, after all, he went north for disaster relief, Yang Lian Dai gave gold and silver, in addition to at least 500,000 stone of grain, and now there are many disaster victims, they may snatch food and bring more soldiers, which is naturally good. Yang Lian hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you King Qi." ”

"One family, you don't have to talk to two families. I went to Chuzhou and did a good job. Don't let Lone down. Li Jingsui said and left with his hands in his hands.

Yang Lian looked at his back, and sighed a little emotionally. After the matter was done, Yang Lian said a few words to Princess Huairou again, and then left in a hurry, at this time it was already dark, and Yang Lian did not go out of the city, but returned home.

In Runzhou City, Li Hongji has already arrived here and settled down. Runzhou is the station of the town navy, and the original festival envoy is called Chen Dongshen, whose ancestral home is Jinling, and can be regarded as a local person. Hearing the arrival of King Yan, he very obediently gave the mansion of the Jiedu envoy to Li Hongji.

Li Hongji was very satisfied with this, and praised Chen Dongshen again and again, saying that he was clever and would definitely promote him well in the future. Chen Dongshen was very grateful for this, knelt in front of Li Hongji, and swore to the sky that he would be loyal to Li Hongji, the king of Yan, in the future.

In order to win Li Hongji's trust, Chen Dongshen really took great pains, but Li Hongji was silent on the surface, but he was full of contempt for Chen Dongshen in his heart, thinking that such a person was spineless, at best an obedient dog, and it was not worth reusing. However, after all, Chen Dongshen had been in Runzhou for a period of time, and Li Hongji wanted to master the power of Runzhou, to be precise, to master the military power of the Zhenhai Navy, and Chen Dongshen needed to help.

In the past few days, Li Hongji has gradually touched the situation in Runzhou, Runzhou and Guangling are across the river, the location is very important, and the town navy also has a naval division, which is no less powerful than the Longxiang army, which is a good thing for Li Hongji.

At night, Li Hongji was still watching "The Art of War", although "The Art of War" is mainly about marching and fighting, but Li Hongji felt that the intrigues and tricks in it could also be used to fight wit, and this time he lost to Yang Lian, which made Li Hongji learn from the pain, and was determined to improve his ability and defeat Yang Lian next time.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Chen Dongshen's voice sounded outside the door, "King Yan, I want to see you." ”

"What's the matter with you coming so late?" Li Hongji asked.

"King Yan, a fast horse from Jinling, said that it was an urgent report from Prime Minister Sun." Chen Dongshen said.

Li Hongji frowned slightly, what happened in Jinling? Now that the Yan Wang party has been frustrated, Prime Minister Sun can be said to be unable to support himself, so Li Hongji feels that Sun Sheng should have encountered some trouble and needs his own help. However, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, Prime Minister Sun had an accident, and Li Hongji's life was not easy, so Li Hongji chose to see him.

After Chen Dongshen came in, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said very respectfully: "I have seen King Yan Chitose!" ”

Li Hongji frowned and said, "Show me the letter." ”

"Whoa!" Chen Dong cautiously took out a letter from his cuff, due to the hot weather, the letter had been wet, with a smell of sweat.

Li Hongji took the letter, frowned slightly, picked up the fire paint, pulled out the letter and looked at it, the original frowning brows gradually loosened, thought about it, and said, "I didn't expect it to be a good thing." ”

"Congratulations to King Yan, congratulations to King Yan!" Chen Dong said cautiously.

"Oh? Tell me, what is there to congratulate? Li Hongji asked, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

However, Chen Dongshen didn't seem to see it, he still had a smile on his face, and said: "King Yan's brows were tightly locked just now, but he quickly let go, it must be a good thing, congratulations to King Yan." ”

Li Hongji waved his hand and said, "That's it." "After thinking about it, Zhu Lingyun, Sun Sheng and others are all in Jinling, and now there seems to be no one around who can make suggestions. After all, Chen Dongshen used to be a festival envoy, so he should have some ability, so Li Hongji handed him the letter and said, "You take a look first." ”

"Whoa!" Chen Dongshen said, and looked at the letter carefully.

Li Hongji poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and when Chen Dongshen finished reading the letter, he smiled and said, "Chen Dongshen, what is your opinion?" ”

"Well." Chen Dongshen smiled very strangely and said, "King Yan, Prime Minister Sun notified this matter in advance, just to ask King Yan to plan in advance, make preparations, and deal a fatal blow to that Yang Lian." ”

"This is naturally understood by Lone, but how to give him a fatal blow?" Li Hongji asked.

"King Yan, we can borrow a knife to kill people." Chen Dongshen was a little anxious, and the poem had already come up with a way.

"Murder with a knife? Tell me about it. Li Hongji was very interested and asked hurriedly.

Chen Dongshen smiled and said, "Qiyu Yan Wang, since Yang Lian wants the two states of Haichu to provide disaster relief, and at the same time investigate Liu Yanzhen's affairs, I feel that it is best to borrow Liu Yanzhen's knife to kill Yang Lian." King Yan can send someone to inform Liu Yanzhen that Yang Lian went north this time to investigate his corruption and bribery, bullying men and women. His Majesty has already promised Yang Lian the right to behead first and then play, if Liu Yanzhen really has illegal acts, he will be beheaded immediately. ”

"Well, that seems like a good idea." Li Hongji said, applauded, and motioned for Chen Dongshen to continue. Chen Dongshen was encouraged and continued: "Then Liu Yanzhen has been a soldier for many years, and he naturally has a decisive temperament, if he learns that Yang Lian is here to investigate him, he will definitely kill Yang Lian." In this way, the thorn in King Yan's eyes is gone, isn't it very happy? ”

"Well, it's a good plan. It's a good trick to kill people with a knife, I want to see how Yang Lian can beat Liu Yanzhen. "Li Hongji is so ruthless.

Chen Dongshen laughed twice and said: "King Yan, I still have a plan, if Yang Lian is lucky and kills Liu Yanzhen, there are still tens of thousands of disaster victims in the face, if you send a few people to make trouble, or poison the rice and grain for relief, if you block a few people, it will inevitably cause the anger of the victims." At that time, even if Yang Lian was lucky again and escaped the pursuit of the people, he would not be able to escape His Majesty's beheading order! ”

"Good, good, good!" Li Hongji was overjoyed, and felt that Chen Dongshen's words were well organized, and the most important thing was that the scheme was one ring after another, even if Yang Lian was a cat with nine lives, Li Hongji also felt that Yang Lian was in a catastrophe.

Chen Dong bowed his hand cautiously and said: "King Yan, if something happens at that time, even if Your Majesty forgives him, as long as King Yan contacts the courtiers and writes to impeach, Yang Lian has absolutely no chance of surviving." ”

Li Hongji squinted his eyes and smiled, even if his father wanted to shield Yang Lian, Li Hongji also made up his mind to kill Yang Lian to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"King Yan, without further ado, you can repair a book and let Liu Yanzhen prepare as soon as possible." Chen Dongshen said.

"This is nature." Li Hongji was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Chen Dongshen to polish the ink for him, write a letter, and let people call his confidant and old ministers, and asked him to hurry up and rush to Chuzhou to inform Liu Yanzhen of the matter.

On the Jinling side, after Yang Lian Meimei slept well, she got up early the next morning, exercised, had breakfast, told Fu Jinzhan a sound, and then rode a war horse and went to the palace of King Qi first. King Qi was about to go out, and when he saw Yang Lian coming, he took him to run errands.

When the official in charge of such matters saw that the king of Qi had come in person, how could he dare to slack off, divide five by two, and quickly get things done.

King Qi handed over the things to Yang Lian and said, "This matter has been done, you can hand over the things to the Shu people." ”

"Thank you King Qi, Yang Lian will go to them." After Yang Lian finished speaking, he walked out, went out of the imperial city, rode a war horse, and hurried out of the city. Along the way, seeing the jubilant appearance of the people of Jinling, Yang Lian had another mood. After all, it is Jinling of the Southern Dynasty, because there are not many wars in the Tang Dynasty, and the people do not suffer from military disasters, so most of them are happy, and the people in Kaifeng City are naturally very different, but it is this difference that makes the people in the north strong.

Just as Yang Lian was rushing towards the outside of the city, in the tall merchant ship, Fei Yunshan was lying on the soft couch, listening to Fei Yan's report. Yesterday, he sent someone to inquire about Yang Lian's news, and he gained a lot.

Fei Yunshan listened carefully to Fei Yan's report, and when Fei Yan finished speaking, Fei Yunshan said: "These news, are they all true?" ”

"I inquired in many ways and asked seven or eight people, and they all said the same thing. Although the three of them became tigers, and there are many rumors in the market that are untrue, but based on the news from all sides, it can be determined that most of these things are true. Fei Yan replied.

Fei Yunshan sat up slowly, with a hint of sickness on his pale face, half loud, Fang said: "In this way, this Yang Lian is an interesting character, in just two years, he has changed from a cloth cloth to a second-grade festival envoy, in addition to luck, he also has strength." And he actually won the heart of King Qi's beloved daughter, no wonder he swore so much, saying that he could settle the matter. ”

"Childe, from this point of view, this Yang Lian should be a person worth befriending." Fei Yan said.

Fei Yunshan stretched out his hand and let the two maids dress him, and said, "Yes, since he has this ability, he can open a gap in his body and make friends with King Qi and others." For Dashu, there are great benefits. ”

"Childe, the matter of transporting grain from Bashu is going to be executed." Fei Yan asked again.

Fei Yunshan said: "This is nature, and besides, I want to transport more grain to sell to him." ”

"Childe, the little slave thinks that as long as the food supplied is enough for Yang Lian to use, this is enough, why should he give him more?" Fei Yan was puzzled.

Fei Yunshan laughed and said: "The wind and rain in Dashu are smooth, this bit of food is nothing, besides, since I want to befriend Yang Lian and pay a little more food, what does it matter?" What's more, he still has to pay for it, and I won't lose anything. ”

"Childe is wise!" Fei Yan arched his hand and complimented.

Fei Yunshan stood up, at this time the maid had already dressed him, one maid brought water, and the other maid held a tray with a toothbrush on it, and a cup of willow branch water with a little salt, and came up to serve Fei Yunshan to brush the toothbrush and wash his face, and then bowed down and slowly retreated.

"I bet that Yang Lian must be on the way here, with his relationship with King Qi, this thing is not difficult!" Fei Yunshan said.

"Childe is so sure?" Fei Yan is strangely authentic.

Fei Yunshan laughed and said, "Naturally, it's so certain, do you dare to bet with me?" ”

"The little slave doesn't dare, he doesn't dare." Fei Yan said.

At this time, a maid hurriedly walked over and said, "Childe, there is a person outside, claiming to be Yang Lian, asking to see Childe." (To be continued.) )
