"Father!" Li Jingsui was thinking about things when he suddenly heard the voice of the county lord of Huairou.

Li Jingsui raised his head, put down the birdcage, looked at his beloved daughter, and said suspiciously: "Huairou, didn't you go out hunting?" Why are you back now? ”

The county lord of Huairou threw himself into Li Jingsui's arms, crying, today's events frightened her, after all, this time was more sudden and terrifying than the last time. That person obviously wanted her life, if it wasn't for Yang Lian appearing in time, I'm afraid she would have died.

Li Jingsui had never seen his daughter like this, so he comforted her and said, "If Huairou has anything, just tell your father, and your father will definitely make decisions for you." ”

At this time, he saw Yang Lian, followed by several guards, carrying a person in. Li Jingsui was slightly surprised, although he didn't understand, he still let people take away the county lord of Huairou.

"Yang Lian has seen King Qi!" Yang Lian gave a salute, this is two guards putting down the body.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, looked at Yang Lian a little strangely and asked, "Yang Lian, what is going on?" ”

"King Qi, this hunt, I am also among them. It happened that I met the lord of Huairou County. Yang Lian said, approached Li Jingsui, and said in a low voice: "But just when he was hunting, the county lord of Huairou was assassinated. ”

"What?" Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, glared when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "What kind of person is so bold." ”

"For the time being, I don't know that this person was cut off his horse by me and died of poison. It was therefore not possible to find out who had sent him. Yang Lian shook his head regretfully.

Li Jingsui snorted coldly, walked a few steps, and when he saw that the person's face was black, and there was white foam flowing from the corner of his mouth, he immediately frowned, this person was too terrifying, and he did not hesitate to commit suicide in order to keep secrets, and in this way.

"This person has a tiger claw on his body, I don't know what it means." Yang Lian said again, looking at Li Jingsui, trying to see some clues in his eyes.

Li Jingsui endured the anger in his heart, squatted down, tore off the leather armor of the corpse, looked at the tiger claw, shook his head, and said: "I haven't seen this tiger claw this king, I don't know where it is, could it be, it's someone sent by Wu Yue?" ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, the lord of Wu Yue is dead, the new lord has just taken the throne, and the powerful minister Hu Jinsi holds great power, it can be said that there is endless infighting, and Wu Yueguo has no idea of coming to the Tang Dynasty to make trouble for the time being." ”

"Who is that?" Li Jingsui was not surprised.

"Yang Lian doesn't know for the time being." Yang Lian didn't tell the matter of the Taihu Lake water thieves, he was not sure how much Li Jingsui knew about the Taihu Lake water thieves, if he said it rashly, I was afraid that there would be bad consequences.

Li Jingsui stood up when he heard this, habitually paced, walked a few steps, and said, "Hand over this person to Jing Zhaoyin, and make sure he finds out the truth." ”

"No!" Two soldiers responded and walked out carrying the dead body.

Yang Lian looked at him and said, "King Qi, judging from all indications, although the main messenger cannot be determined, this person knows the time when the county lord went out to hunt, and even secretly prepares, which proves that this person is very familiar with the activities of the county lord, and the ten ** is an acquaintance." ”

"Acquaintances?" Li Jingsui's body was shocked, he looked at Yang Lian suspiciously, and said in a lost voice: "You mean ......?"

"Yang Lian doesn't dare to say that this is the person, but he also goes hunting, at least he knows the county lord and my whereabouts very well." Yang Lian explained.

Li Jingsui snorted coldly and said, "He is really mad, if he does such a thing, I will definitely not be able to spare him." "The mud bodhisattva also has a temper, not to mention that Li Jing is a dignified prince, and his beloved daughter was almost killed, how can he not be angry?

"The King of Qi handed over this person to Jing Zhaoyin, in my opinion, I am afraid that there will be no results." Yang Lian said again.

"Jing Zhaoyin dares to cover up annoying people?" Li Jingsui was still very angry.

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "It's not enough to cover up, after all, the assassination of the county lord of Huairou is still assassinated near Jinling, and Jing Zhaoyin can't shirk it." It's just that the prisoner is a dead soldier, and if the situation is not right, he immediately commits suicide by taking poison, and it may be difficult to find clues from him. ”

"That can't be done." Li Jingsui clenched his fists.

"King Qi might as well face Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely order Jing Zhaoyin to investigate strictly, maybe the assassin will show clues." Yang Lian said again.

Li Jingsui's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "That's right, I will enter the palace immediately and greet the imperial brother." Saying that, without waiting for Yang Lian to answer, he hurriedly asked people to prepare horses, and asked Yang Lian to stay in the Qi Palace, waiting for news, and left the Qi Palace.

Yang Lian couldn't help pacing, in this life, he also developed this habit, the Tiger Claw Organization actually appeared in Jinling, proving that they are huge, and if you want to organize such a huge force, you must have strong economic support, especially their equipment is excellent, and the consumption is greater.

This organization is very likely to be a subordinate of a certain dignitary in Beijing, and it is impossible for the King of Qi to send someone to kill his daughter, so he can be excluded, and the rest, who has the courage to kill the lord of Huairou, is only Li Hongji, and only he will rely on the identity of the emperor's eldest son, relying on his mother to be the queen, and arguing with the king of Qi. And behind him, there is also the support of Sun Sheng, Han Xizai and others.

But all this is speculation, Yang Lian is not completely sure, at this time, he remembered a person, maybe she can have some clues, and immediately made up his mind in his heart, as soon as the matter of the Qi Wangfu is over, he will ask that person, do you know the organization of Tiger Claw?

The county lord of Huairou had already washed up at this time, changed into clean clothes, although he was still a little scared, but obviously in a lot of energy, seeing Yang Lian, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, this is a kind of dependence, she was rescued by Yang Lian several times, saying that it was false to say that she was not grateful, she was a proud peacock, and she would not bow her head easily.

"It's good that the county lord is fine." Yang Lian said with a smile.

Lord Huairou nodded and said, "This time it's thanks to you." As he spoke, he glanced left and right, and asked, "Where is my father?" ”

"The assassination of the county lord, what a big deal is this? King Qi was not angry in his heart, and he had already entered the palace to face the saint. Yang Lian replied.

"Oh." Lord Huairou said, lowering his eyes.

Yang Lian saw that she was not in high spirits, so he smiled and joked for him, telling a "story like a fart", but Yang Lian changed his face and changed all his names. When the county lord of Huairou heard this, he said angrily: "You are so vulgar. ”

"Yang Lian was originally a martial artist, so he was naturally a vulgar person, how could he enter the eyes of the county lord?" Yang Lian doesn't mind others saying this about him, at least the image of Wufu is not at all like the old prince of the previous dynasty.

Lord Huairou shook his head and said, "You're not, how can someone who can play such a beautiful tune be a pure martial artist?" As he spoke, his face turned slightly red, and he felt that it was not very good, so he hurriedly retreated.

Yang Lian continued to drink tea until the evening, when Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, came back, saw Yang Lian, and said: "This king has already told the imperial brother about the soldiers, and the imperial brother was very angry when he heard it, and said that he would let Jingzhao Yin investigate thoroughly." ”

"I hope to find out the results soon." Yang Lian nodded.

The two chatted for a while, first talking about the county lord of Huairou, and then, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, changed his words, full of regret about the matter of the Tang Dynasty going north, this may be the last chance, once lost, it will be difficult to get it back.

Yang Lian thought hard, Liu Zhiyuan established the Later Han Dynasty, it seems that he died not long after, his son did not become a weapon, killed Guo Wei's family, forced Guo Wei to rebel, after the establishment of the Later Zhou, although it did not exist for a long time, but Chai Rong can be described as the first Ming Jun of the Five Dynasties period, under his control, the Later Zhou Dynasty has made great progress in both economic and political and military development, and after the destruction of Buddhism, the country has increased greatly, laying the foundation for the Song Dynasty to unify the south.

Liu Zhiyuan's foundation is not strong, all parties still have the self-respecting temperance envoys, there must be contradictions between them, maybe Liu Zhiyuan can still be suppressed when he is there, but once Liu Zhiyuan dies, those arrogant soldiers will inevitably have no idea.

Thinking of this, Yang Lian hurriedly said: "The king of Qi is now the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, although now is not the time to use troops, but he must always train his soldiers and horses diligently, and actively prepare for war. ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, nodded and said, "This is very much in line with the king's wishes. In addition, this king has good news for you. ”

"What's the good news?" Yang Lian asked.

"The Huaibei thieves have sent people to Datang to give gifts, wanting to rely on Datang, this king has already told the imperial brother about this matter, and he is waiting for him to make an idea." Li Jing, the king of Qi, narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Yang Lian said a little excitedly: "King Qi, Huaibei has always been controlled by the Central Plains forces, because the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, the Tang Dynasty whip is beyond reach, and now the Huaibei group of thieves has the intention of taking refuge, you might as well order a general to go north, and at the same time allow the Huaibei group of thieves to be a high-ranking official, so that Huaibei is controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and it will be much more convenient to seize Shandong in the future." ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, squinted his eyes and looked at him, he believed that this was Yang Lian's heartfelt words, and the situation was just as Yang Lian said, recovering Huaibei was very profitable, but there was one thing that also needed to be considered, Huaibei is mountainous, the people are fierce, if it is not properly governed, I am afraid that it will return to rebellion. That is, Datang needs to spend a considerable part of its money, food, and troops in Huaibei. While there are benefits, there are also disadvantages, it depends on how His Majesty decides.

When the two chatted, they were hungry, so Yang Lian dined in the Qi Palace, and after eating, he got up to say goodbye. Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, felt sorry for his beloved daughter, and when the matter was done, he went to accompany her. Yang Lian returned to the inn at night, and as soon as he entered the house, he felt a little different.

Glancing around, Yang Lian said loudly: "What person, come out." ”

"You're really vigilant." A person walked out, Yang Lian fixed his eyes and saw that it was Mi Shiwei, only to see that she was staring at herself viciously with a hint of anger on her face.

Yang Lian scratched her head, she didn't seem to have offended her, right? "Miss Mi, your face doesn't seem to look good, is it because of a foot injury?"

Yang Lian didn't mention this, but when she mentioned Mi Shiwei, she was even more angry, she raised her hand, pointed at Yang Lian, and said, "You still say, if it's not you, I will be hurt?" And you also pretended to deceive me, saying that your feet would break, and taking the opportunity to take advantage of me, which is really shameless. ”

Yang Lian coughed, waved his hand very helplessly, and said, "What's the matter, I don't care about it, it's messy, and because I scared you, I was messed up for a while." ”

"Flim Flam." Mi Shiwei was very disdainful.
