As mentioned last time, Li Daozong had doubts, so he wanted to find out the details of Wang Xuance, so he passed on him to come to the Shuai Tent to talk about it. When Wang Xuance heard about the marshal's personal biography, he immediately sorted out his makeup and came to visit. After a short period of courtesy greetings, it turned out to be just ordinary family talk, not a military event! Therefore, the hanging heart immediately fell.

Li Daozong asked Xuan Ce to sit next to the military case. I saw a tea waiter, passing the tea table to the military case. A black unicorn silver kettle is placed on top of a blazing charcoal fire, and the spring water inside is heated by the charcoal fire, and the heat is constantly bubbling hot. But seeing this tea waiter, he carefully took out the aged brick tea from a delicate plain clay pot, put it into the tea mill and grinded it slowly; When it is crumbled, it is filtered through a delicate sieve. Put the sifted tea powder into a boiling silver kettle. After these three boiling and three boiling, the fragrance of tea suddenly overflowed the handsome tent. Immediately afterwards, he elegantly poured the ruddy tea soup into the plain tea cup placed on the tea table.

Smell so elegantly, the fragrance of tea is overflowing; Take such a bite gently, refreshing! I saw that the tea waiter, after boiling the fragrant tea, immediately withdrew; Only two people are left in this handsome tent, tasting tea and talking!

Li Daozong pinched the tea cup, smacked it lightly, and then said: "This tea is native to Lingnan, and drinking this tea will always remind you of the old people." In retrospect, we hadn't seen each other for nearly nine years. I still remember this old man, who is strategic, understands guns, has a clean air, and has an elegant character, and this method of drinking tea is passed down to me personally!

Wang Xuance heard this, tasted it carefully, and felt that this tea seemed to be no different from the tea that Master often drinks! So he returned: "This tea soup is ruddy, and the drink is quite familiar, I don't know where the old man mentioned by the marshal is now?" ”

Li Daozong heard his reply like this, and the focus was not on the latter, but on this tea, so he immediately asked: "Have you used this tea!" ”

Wang Xuance was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly returned to "I haven't used it, but I just feel a little familiar"

Li Daozong continued with some suspicion: "This person's name is Mr. Dongye, and he has been living in seclusion for many years, and to this day, I don't know where he is!" ”

Hearing Li Daozong mention the name of his master, Wang Xuance's hesitation in his heart can be regarded as completely solid. I never thought that the master would be the deceased of the marshal! In the past, I had never heard Master mention any of the court officials; Only before leaving, did he explain Wei Zheng to himself. Along the way, since I lost my letter of recommendation, I met my mother and godson in Jinyang; He has already made up his mind to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and if he tells the truth, the marshal will certainly support him, and this principle is not violated. Although a feeling of longing and joy was leisurely in his heart, reason told him that he could not confide in him!

However, Wang Xuance's subtle changes have been noticed by Li Daozong. Through this tense and soothing tone, I felt that this person must have some kind of relationship with Mr. Higashino, but he just refused to say it. Then he asked tentatively: "I see that you are skilled in marksmanship, it seems that you are a fire and thunder marksmanship, I don't know where you learned it?" ”

This set of marksmanship is indeed fire and thunder marksmanship, Wang Xuance heard that Li Daozong knew this marksmanship, and he was also stunned, and his brain could only turn and turn again, and he replied in a slurred: "When I was young...... ...... with an old man I don't know its name...... I don't know who it is, seeing that his life is miserable, he spent two months teaching this set of marksmanship, and then he wandered away! ”

Li Daozong obviously felt that Wang Xuance was just a prevarication, and the old man he met must be Mr. Dongye, since the young man didn't want to show it, there was no need to ask more!

At this time, in order to divert the topic, Wang Xuance also said to Li Daozong what he had been thinking about these days: "Since ancient times, the wars have been opposites, friends are not enemies, enemies are not friends, and the last general wonders why the marshal wants to bury this Tianzhu King and Murong Red!" ”

Hearing this, Li Daozong's heart suddenly flashed, and he never thought that this young general would have such an experience. Then he gently smacked down the fragrant tea, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know about this, what do you think?" ”

Wang Xuance listened to his rhetorical question, so he replied: "Isn't it a hero's sympathy!" ”

Li Daozong smiled, looked at Wang Xuance, who was a little suspicious, nodded affirmatively and said: "Since ancient times, heroes cherish heroes!" On this day, the king of Tianzhu followed Fuyun Khan to fight in the south and the north, and there were countless battles of all sizes, and he was even more brave when he went into battle to kill the enemy; Although he has fought against it many times, it is also a mixed victory. This Murong Red has followed the Heavenly Pillar King for many years, and he is also a rare tiger general; It is indeed rare to understand Tao strategy, know people's hearts, love the people, and be able to write and martial arts. It's a pity that they belong to different countries and different nationalities. If this Tuyuhun had attached himself to my Datang earlier, I am convinced that I would have become confidants with the two of them, just like the deep and righteous love with Mr. Higashino back then! It's a pity that each is the master of the house, and giving it a good home can be regarded as a tribute to this piece of fist love! ”

At this time, Wang Xuance deeply understood Li Daozong's inner world, and sure enough, heroes cherish heroes! There are so many enemies in the world, but they are all for the sake of upholding a loyal heart, for the nation, for the country, and each for its own master. In short, integrity cannot be lost, benevolence and righteousness cannot be lost, and justice cannot be violated! Wang Xuance was also deeply impressed by his words, and immediately threw himself on the five bodies that this commander admired. When I heard that Li Daozong pointed to Mr. Dongye, my heart sank again; This sinking once again made Li Daozong realize that instead of hiding and tucking, it was better to get off the donkey, so he also asked him with some doubts about the master before: "Listening to this, this Mr. Dongye and the marshal are also so kind!" ”

Li Daozong immediately returned with endless thoughts: "That's right, this Mr. Dongye followed the abolished prince to build, since the change of Xuanwumen, he originally thought that he could be attached to His Majesty today and serve the Tang Dynasty court, but under His Majesty's repeated retention, he still made up his mind and traveled all over the world. Although I only worked with Mr. for a short time when Wude was fighting Liu Heimin in the fifth year, I was deeply impressed by Mr.'s character and virtue, so it is also an old friend! ”

Hearing this, although Wang Xuance's mood was driven by Li Daozong's words, it was up and down. But he still calmly returned: "Sure enough, the heroes cherish each other!" Then he praised and promised Li Daozong.

It was only at this time that Wang Xuance understood the master's previous briefing! I sincerely admire Master's loyalty! With the short words, the tea talk also ended between the smiles of the two of them!

Life is like this, when a person recognizes that you are his enemy or opponent, even if you don't do anything hurtful or sorry for him, it is still difficult for him to change his fixed opinion, which is the pre-entry effect. First impressions or first feelings are often really important to a person, and this also affects the relationship between two people later on.

At the juncture of major wars, Wang Xuance can always calmly analyze and win by surprise. This Li Jingheng is very worried because he has not overthrown Wang Xuance, but let him climb all the way! Although under the planning of his father, he has also made a lot of contributions, but these credits are really nothing in front of Wang Xuance. In the face of the war that had ended, the anger reflected in his heart seemed to burn again......

In this bloody battle, Wang Xuance has always been in a passive position, from the beginning, in the face of the theft of the recommendation book, in the face of all kinds of dangers, and in the face of Li Jingheng's frame-of-all, he came over one by one. I have not forgotten the master's advice, let alone the original dream, the most precious thing in life is the original intention, as long as the original intention does not die, everything will have another chance. Therefore, with his sincere original intention, coupled with the heart of not fighting for merit or grabbing merit, everything is going easy-going.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, although there was already a imperial examination system, it was very imperfect because of its inception; The gate valve system still affects the trend of Datang's selection and employment. And Wang Xuance, because of his background, it seems that he will never be able to escape the curse of being directly promoted, what he can do is to be down-to-earth and step by step towards the peak of his life.

With the end of the war, because of the principle of the government military system, the country would not retain so many regular troops, so most of the soldiers were disarmed and returned to the field. With the number of enemies killed, after rewarding the soldiers, they began to reward these generals for their merits. According to Wang Xuance's merits, he will definitely be promoted to general.

Li Daozong is also considering the matter of the merit book; What should be recommended to the imperial court to reward Wang Xuance? Whether to let him stay by his side, or stick to the border pass, suddenly stumped the Tang marshal. Through the last tea party and the observation for a long time, this Wang Xuance is indeed a rare talent, capable of writing and martial arts, and is a rising star of my Tang Dynasty. But after thinking about it, it is not a good thing for young talents to be promoted too quickly, not to mention that he is only a weak champion, and he should have more experience. It is also a proper arrangement to suppress his merits, and only in this way can it not be exposed. Thinking of this, Li Daozong looked at the credit book that was about to be reported, and he was also a little relieved; These days, I've been thinking too much about this, and I'm so tired!

The words are divided into two ends, and the book says two sessions. I saw that in this Li Jingheng's big tent, he and Chen Lei got together obscenely, as if they were discussing something. These two people, in the war to pacify Tuyuhun, naturally took the lead bravely, killed a lot of enemies, and made a lot of contributions. But at this point, they are not discussing what kind of reward they will get; It's a question of how to suppress Wang Xuance and how to make him and his brothers unlucky one by one!

But seeing this, Li Jingheng told Chen Lei quite angrily: "A few days ago, I inadvertently saw the merit book drafted by my father, and recommended Wang Xuance as a general, although according to his merits, it should indeed be rewarded like this!" But in this way, wouldn't you be on an equal footing with me? This former white man has become a general today, what do you say is going on! ”

Looking at Li Jingheng, who was complaining like this, Chen Lei immediately returned flatteringly: "The general is angry, the general is angry, we have to think about this matter in the long run!" ”

This Li Jingheng was already holding back the fire in his belly, and when he heard Chen Lei say this, he suddenly scolded more and more angrily: "Rest angry!" Every time I see his lofty face, I get angry; If he really became a general, he didn't know what his spirit would become! Then I thought about it: If he becomes a general, won't it make Xue Yan look up at him again, no, my sister will never be able to marry this person from a humble background! Immediately took the case, and commanded with a big grin: "You kid, think about how to fix him, kill his sharpness, of course, it's also excellent to kill him!" When he had finished speaking, he glared angrily at the burning candle!

If you want to say that this bad guy's brain is spinning fast, I saw that this Chen Lei heard Li Jingheng's words, and the two big eyes gurgled around a few times, patted his head, and remembered such a thing: "By the way, big brother, when we left Liangzhou to pursue the Tianzhu King, I saw Wang Xuance's men who brought back several carts of things, and they didn't know what to load, so they went directly into their big tent."

"You're talking about that big black man Zhou Zeng"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's him, that day, when they burned the grain and grass of the Heavenly Pillar King and came back victoriously"

"These big boxes of things were brought back when I burned the grain and grass of the Heavenly Pillar King...... You say, what else could there be but gold and silver jewelry? Li Jingheng returned with joy, while thinking, and with an understanding!

As soon as he heard this, Chen Lei also patted his head in surprise and praised back: "Yes, you look at my stupidity, why didn't you think of it, it definitely won't be food!" Or big brother smart"

Having said that, this is all speculation, and if you want to rectify them, you must confirm the evidence. So, the two of them discussed and thought about it. Because they knew that after Wang Xuance attacked the place where the Tianzhu King hid grain this time, he burned it with a fire, and he didn't hear about the things he brought back to report to his father! Thinking of this, Li Jingheng once again instructed Chen Lei: "Quick, send a few more henchmen to investigate in detail, as long as the evidence is solid, we are not afraid that he will not admit it." But remember, don't be scared! ”

Chen Lei received the order and immediately went to run an errand. After this and the money, and the scheming, it was only half a day's work to inquire about the cause of the matter. Then he hurriedly returned to Li Jingheng's big tent, and said breathlessly: "Big brother, this ...... This is all inquired clearly" Seeing Chen Lei's panting appearance, Li Jingheng was pleased to send the tea bowl in his hand and said: "Drink saliva, don't worry, speak slowly"

Chen Lei took the tea bowl and drank a few sips, cleared his throat, and then returned: "I received the order of the eldest brother just now, and I didn't dare to rest at all, so I arranged for a few of our henchmen, Zhang Xiaoqi and Li Wusi, and each of them gave them ten taels of silver. I found these few who could talk again, for example, Li Geng, Wang Kundao and other literati, each of whom also gave a dozen taels of silver, and asked him to go to Wang Xuance's big tent to investigate in detail...... "I saw Li Jingheng listening to this Chen Lei and talking about such a lot of useless. Suddenly, the anxious and anxious broke out again: "Don't talk so much useless, how much silver did you use, you will go directly to get it later, pick up the key points!" ”

When Chen Lei heard this, he returned proudly and domineeringly: "Big brother, after we inquired like this, they brought back seven boxes of things, as you expected, they were full of the people's fat and people's ointment that the Tianzhu King had looted over the years, and there were 30,000 taels of gold, silver and jewelry, which were all placed in Zhou Zeng's tent!" ”

Hearing this, Li Jingheng's eyes widened and he asked again: "Are you sure!" ”

But seeing this, Chen Lei looked at Li Jingheng categorically and returned: "Sure, I just asked Wang Xiaoqi to go to him to take a look, this thing is still there."

Li Jingheng's fist in his left hand slammed into the palm of his right hand, and he muttered to himself in great joy: "God lives up to me, so good, so good!" Let's start with this week! ”

"Yes, then start this week" Chen Lei also casually agreed with a happy face!

Immediately afterwards, Li Jingheng teased again: "You said that these two people are really interesting, they are really bold enough, they dare not report so many good things when they come back, and they want to swallow it alone, isn't this obviously greedy for ink?"

"What the eldest brother said is very true, this is a capital crime!" Between the words, the two of them smiled.

But seeing this, Chen Lei then said happily: "Then I will take someone to arrest Zhou Zeng first at this moment" As he spoke, he prepared to stride out of the house.

"Wait," Li Jingheng immediately stretched out his hand to stop ......

What happens next, and where does the story go? Please see the next ......
