Chapter Eighty-Five: Something to Ask For

Yang Lian talked for a long time in the imperial study, sleepy and tired, and walked with the king of Qi for a distance, the two chatted about the war of Wu Yueguo, Yang Lian said in detail, Li Jingsui listened to it and looked very nervous, especially the two battles of Zhoushan and Yuhang, which were the most dangerous times, Li Jingsui couldn't help but shake a cold sweat.

After Yang Lian finished speaking, Li Jingsui seemed very silent, he had his concerns.

Yang Lian saw that he didn't speak for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "King Qi, no matter what, this battle is finally won." ”

"Alas!" King Qi let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that there is no one in Datang, and Gu really doesn't want you to go to the battlefield again." "The battlefield is dangerous, if something happens to Yang Lian, what should he do to teach his beloved daughter? Li Jingsui naturally did not want such a situation to occur.

Yang Lian understood what he meant, paced with his hands in his hands, and said: "It's a pity that the world is undecided, and the Zhou State and the Khitan are still eyeing each other, otherwise, I would rather be a rich man than return to the field." ”

Li Jingsui thought about it, he waved his hand and said, "Yang Lian, you have also worked hard all the way, so let's go back to the house to rest first." Tomorrow I have dinner in the Imperial City, you and I will talk about it. ”

"Whoa." Yang Lian said, bowing and saying goodbye.

Li Jingsui stared at his departing back and couldn't help clenching his fists.

At this time, it was already mid-hour, and the sky had darkened, but there were lanterns lit in the imperial city, and outside the imperial city, Yang Lian could see the fireworks flying up in the air, bright and gorgeous, Yang Lian couldn't help but stop and look at the fireworks in the air. Yang Lian looked at it for a while, and suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him.

Yang Lian looked back, and it turned out to be Xiao Yan of Dali Temple. Xiao Yan is now thinner, and I don't know if the pressure on Dali Temple is too great, making him thinner and thinner? Xiao Yan arched his hand with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Yang Jiedu." ”

"Hehe, Xiao Siqing, rejoice and rejoice." Yang Lian said, but he was a little surprised in his heart, at this time, what is Dali Siqing doing here?

Xiao Yan stood two or three steps in front of Yang Lian, shook his head and sighed, and said: "Hey, what happy event can I have, speaking of which, this time the generals who accompanied Yang Jiedu on the expedition, the promotion of the officials, and the wealth of the rich, it seems that with Yang Jiedu, no, being friends with Wu Hou can make a high move." ”

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and smiled, in his impression, Xiao Yan was an upright person, and there was no money left at home, and some moths in Datang were indeed much poorer. The sudden remarks of such a person are indeed suspicious.

"Xiao Siqing, what does this mean?" Yang Lian asked.

Xiao Yan said: "To tell the truth, since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, there has been continuous party struggle, Xiao thought that if he stayed out of the matter, he would be safe, but now it seems that it is just wishful thinking." Xiao has been waiting here for a long time, but he just wants to get some light from Yang Jiedu. ”

Yang Lian laughed and said, "Xiao Siqing seems to have found the wrong person, Yang is just a mere outgoing festival envoy, how can it be compared to Xiao Siqing is a Beijing official?" ”

Xiao Yan shook his head and said: "Wu Hou is modest, Wu Hou is about to become a Tang Dynasty horse, and he holds military power, Xiao just wants to find a backer." ”

Yang Lian arched his hand and said, "Xiao Siqing is polite, if you are looking for a backer, it is better to find someone else." Saying that, Yang Lian turned around and said goodbye, he didn't have much friendship with Xiao Yan, how could he trust this person? Xiao Yan saw that Yang Lian was gone, did not speak, did not chase, and waited for Yang Lian to disappear from sight, and then slowly paced away.

Yang Lian walked out of the imperial city, looked carefully outside the city, and let out a long sigh, now he is named Wu Hou, which makes Yang Lian a little surprised, why not other Hou, it happens to be Wu Hou? But looking at Li Jing's appearance, he shouldn't have noticed anything. When Yang Lian walked out of the imperial city, a carriage was parked at the door, Yang Lian ignored it, and was about to lead the war horse away, when an old man who looked like a servant hurriedly came.

"Yang Jiedu, my lord is invited, and I hope Yang Jiedu will move away." The old servant said.

Yang Lian glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Who is your master?" ”

"This, my lord's identity is special, Yang Jiedu will know when he goes." The old servant said.

Yang Lian thought about it, in this Jinling, at this moment, would anyone dare to harm him? Then he commanded his soldiers, "Wait here, and I will come when I go." ”

"Whoa!" The pro-soldier replied.

"Yang Jiedu, please!" The old servant said.

Yang Lian walked over with the old servant, the carriage was very ordinary, it didn't look like a big family, and the horses were relatively thin, as if they hadn't eaten enough, and they would fall when the wind blew.

"Master, Yang Jiedu is here." The old servant said.

"Yang Jiedu, no, Wu Hou, please come in." The voice sounded, some familiar and some unfamiliar, because the voice was deliberately changing.

The old servant lifted the curtain of the door, and Yang Lian walked in.

There were candles lit in the carriage, and there was a faint fragrance, Yang Lian was a little surprised.

When the visitor heard Yang Lian's footsteps, he turned around and saluted Yang Lian, saying, "Wu Hou, don't come unharmed?" ”

Yang Lian also bowed and saluted, "Don't dare, Zhou Situ isn't tormenting Yang Lian?" ”

"Wu Hou is young, he is the respect of the marquis, and over time, it is a matter of time before he becomes the king." Zhou Situ smiled.

Yang Lian felt that Jinling was very strange now, first Xiao Yan, who didn't have much intersection with him, and now it was Zhou Situ, if it was given by Wu Hou, it would not be true. Especially Zhou Zong, he once had a lot of opinions about himself, although he had saved him, it was not enough for him to change to this point.

Zhou Zong coughed, sat down in the carriage, instructed the coachman to walk slowly, and opened a bamboo basket containing a few snacks and a pot of warm tea.

"Yang Jiedu worked hard all the way, and the old man shouldn't have bothered, but the stakes were so high that he had to bother. Yang Jiedu tasted some dim sum first to satisfy his hunger, and we talked as we walked. Zhou Zong said, put the dim sum on the small table, and poured tea for Yang Lian.

Yang Lian was silent, but he was secretly thinking in his heart, he was courteous and attentive for nothing, he was either a traitor or a thief, what kind of medicine was sold in Situ Hulu this week?

"Wu Hou, please!" Zhou Zong said.

Yang Lian also felt a little hungry, so he immediately took the chopsticks and ate snacks while drinking tea. Maybe he was very hungry, or maybe the dim sum was really good, Yang Lian ate a dim sum, and ate another one, and after a while, there was not much dim sum left on the table.

"These things are all made by little girls." Zhou Zong smiled.

"Is it Emperor E?" Yang Lian was secretly worried in his heart, but he remembered something.

Zhou Zong saw that Yang Lian had almost eaten, and bowed deeply to Yang Lian, and said, "Wu Hou, after thinking about it, the old man may only be able to help with this matter." ”

"What is the matter, can't Zhou Situ solve it?" Yang Lian asked.

Zhou Zong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "This matter seems simple, but it is actually very involved. Now it is a foregone conclusion, and only Wu Hou can turn the situation around. ”

Yang Lian said: "Zhou Situ, please say, what is the matter." ”

Zhou Zong coughed and said the purpose of coming, he came for his daughter, Sun Sheng's house, talking nonsense in front of the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven had the illusion that Li Hongji, the king of Yan, and Emperor Zhou E were in love, and had already issued a holy decree to give marriage, so he was waiting to choose a good day and an auspicious day to get married.

In order to let Yang Lian help him, Zhou Zong even analyzed Li Hongji's intentions, he said that he was not interested in the dispute between King Qi and King Yan, and he just wanted to live his life in peace.

Yang Lian listened, he didn't feel angry and funny, since Zhou Zong didn't want to marry his daughter to Li Hongji, just find a way to refuse, even if the Son of Heaven said it, it wasn't that he couldn't refuse, didn't Yang Lian refuse Zeng Yiling's request?

Yang Lian fell into deep thought, if the son has already made a holy decree today, this matter is not easy to do.

Zhou Zong looked at Yang Lian nervously, afraid that he would say a "no".

Yang Lian was silent for half a meal, and then said: "Zhou Situ, speaking of which, I also know Emperor E, since she is unwilling to marry King Yan, I can think of a way, but I can't guarantee that it will be done." ”

Zhou Zong breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Lian agreed, and there was a glimmer of hope, which was better than no hope. Zhou Zong saluted again and said, "So, thank you Marquis Wu." ”

"Zhou Situ doesn't have to be polite, I will definitely do my best in this matter, Zhou Situ can rest assured." After Yang Lian finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye, the old servant stopped the carriage, opened the curtain, and Yang Lian ordered the carriage.

When the soldiers saw Yang Lian walking out, they hurriedly rushed forward, Yang Lian turned over and got on his horse and galloped towards Yang's mansion.

Zhou Zong opened the door curtain, looked at Yang Lian's departing back, and sighed.

In the Yanwang Mansion, seven or eight people gathered in a circle, all with solemn faces.

Chang Mengxi said: "King Yan, Yang Lian Xiao'er was named Marquis of Wu, and the momentum is great, if he is allowed to continue to develop like this, I am afraid that the position of the prince will become more and more impossible." ”

Han Xizai echoed and said, "Yes, now that the party of King Qi is gaining more momentum, I am afraid it is even more impossible to win the heir." King Yan must not allow the strength of King Qi's party to be greater. ”

Yan King Li Hongji snorted coldly, he understands all these truths, but what can he do to restrain Yang Lian? This time he assassinated Yang Lian, and the dead soldiers were almost dead, what else could he do? Li Hongji glanced at Guo Rong coldly, and when he saw that he didn't speak, his heart was even more unhappy.

Sun Sheng didn't know about the assassination, so he said: "King Yan, now that Yang Lian has returned to Beijing, it's better to ......" Sun Sheng made a move to cut off his head, if Yang Lian is killed, King Qi and his party will suffer the biggest blow, can they still be arrogant? The dispute between Qi and Yan was actually a battle between King Yan and Yang Lian, Yang Lian collapsed, and King Qi collapsed.

Li Hongji smiled bitterly and said, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid it is inappropriate to do this kind of thing. Besides, where does Lone go to find someone to do this kind of thing? "Not many people know about the dead soldiers that Li Hongji raised.

Guo Rong interjected on the side and said, "King Yan, Yang Lian is our common enemy, you and I are brothers with different surnames, your business is my business." The Great Zhou has millions of soldiers, I can write to my father-in-law and ask him to send a group of masters over to assassinate Yang Lian. ”

"It's a good idea." Han Xizai said busily. He was assassinated by Yang Lian, and he still can't forget it.

King Yan pursed his lips and said, "Guo Rong, how many soldiers and horses can you have?" After the dead man was killed, Li Hongji couldn't forget it, and he didn't even have the same affection as before.

"There can be more than five hundred people, and all of them are masters." Guo Rong said. In the Yanwang Mansion, seven or eight people gathered in a circle, all with solemn faces.

Chang Mengxi said: "King Yan, Yang Lian Xiao'er was named Marquis of Wu, and the momentum is great, if he is allowed to continue to develop like this, I am afraid that the position of the prince will become more and more impossible." ”
