The fourth more, ask for the first order, the creation of nearly 300 collections, there is no subscription, really sad. For readers who read pirated editions, it's really not too much to spend 1 cent on a first order.

Li Xuanba, who was seriously ill, got better overnight, and the next day he entered the palace to ask for an edict, and then went to the camp, and took Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and other old generals of the Xingyang Army to visit Zhang Xutuo, and told Zhang Xutuo the good news of the capture of Luocang.

Leaving the prison, Li Xuanba asked the generals to return to the camp first, and he took Liang Xiao and others to visit the big families who moved from Dongjun, and he was extremely busy.

Luoyang is in ruins, the king of Yue and the ministers of the court are very busy, naturally no one pays attention to Li Xuanba's whereabouts, Li Xuanba has nothing to do, so he often goes to the Guozijian to visit and talk to Cai Xijiu. Although Cai Xianjiu knew that Li Xuanba's drunkard did not mean to drink, he still succumbed to the strange topic in Li Xuanba's mind, so he also opened one eye, closed one eye, and let Li Xuanba mess around.

However, for the sake of the studies of the children of the Great Sui, Her Royal Highness the princess wisely chose not to appear in the Guozijian, which made Li Xuanba feel extremely disappointed, locked himself in the mansion, and sat in the courtyard every day to sigh why those people didn't show up.

Fortunately, within two days, in addition to the Jiang and Huai elite soldiers led by Wang Shichong, several other armies arrived almost at the same time, and the king of Yue set up a banquet according to the routine.

The eastern capital was temporarily stable, the king of Yue was in a good mood, and the officials above the fifth rank were all there, after Li Xuanba entered the table, he secretly glanced around and saw three unfamiliar faces.

Everyone sat down, King Yue and his ministers and the three people each drank a cup, and told their identities again, as if they intended to let Li Xuanba know, and then said: "The three generals led the army under their jurisdiction to come from thousands of miles away, and this king expressed his gratitude on behalf of the people of Dongdu. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yue is polite." All three stood up at the same time. He bowed down and said. With a smile on his face, Yang Tong stretched out his hand and motioned for them to sit down.

"The three generals must already know what happened a few days ago, this is Li Xuanba, the commander of Xingyang who saw through the conspiracy of the Wagang thieves and raided the rear of the thief army, and he is also a loyal and brave guard of his father's own title." King Yue introduced Li Xuanba again, and Li Xuanba got up and saluted. The attitude is very respectful.

The ministers at the table are basically over forty years old, even if they are not very familiar with each other, they will not be strangers, but Li Xuanba and those three people have never met, and it is natural for King Yue to introduce them.

"Sure enough, the hero is a young man, and the loyal and brave guard has not yet been weakened, and the court will make such a great achievement, which is really embarrassing for us." Wang Long, the general sitting on the right side, sighed with emotion: "I'll wait for a cup of Lord Jingzhong Yongwei." With that, the other two also stood up. Raise a glass at the same time. Li Xuanba smiled shyly, raised his glass and drank it all, arched his hand towards the three of them, and sat down separately.

After finishing the polite words of receiving the wind and washing the dust, Wang Long and the three walked to the hall, knelt down on one knee, bowed their heads and said: "Wagang thieves are plotting rebellion and besieging the eastern capital. Although we were defeated by His Royal Highness the King of Yue and all of you, we still bear the fault of ineffective rescue. Please also ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue to punish him. ”

The plea is just for show, and the courtiers in the palace know very well in their hearts that King Yue will naturally not really punish them.

"The three generals are well aware of the righteousness, and Xuanba admires it." As soon as King Yue was about to appease, Li Xuanba got up with admiration and said: "Delaying the fighter plane is a capital crime, and the three generals admitted it without hesitation. It is worthy of being the pillar stone of the imperial court. ”

As soon as Li Xuanba's voice fell, there was a deathly silence in the hall, the smiles on the faces of King Yue and the courtiers froze, and the wine glass was raised in his hand and stagnated in mid-air.

The word "capital offense". This is not the first time Li Xuanba has mentioned it.

When King Yue set up a banquet to catch the wind for the Xingyang army, Li Xuanba humiliated Huangfu Wuyi fiercely in front of everyone. No one thought that on this occasion that had nothing to do with him, he would mention these two words again, and it seemed to make sense.

The three generals had cold faces, their eyes were like arrows, and they glanced at Li Xuanba angrily, but they saw Li Xuanba drinking calmly, and they didn't pay attention to them at all.

Then, Li Xuanba seemed to suddenly realize the silence in the hall, glanced at everyone, and said in a little panic: "I'm really sorry, Xuanba is young, I don't know that the three generals can ignore the laws of the Great Sui." ”

Murder still has to be punished? Everyone's hearts froze, and they secretly said that Li Xuanba was giving King Yue a problem again.

"The road is difficult, and it is understandable that the three generals came late." King Yue smiled reluctantly, trying to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere in the field, and said: "Now that Luoyang has 40,000 more troops, there is no need to worry about the Wagang thieves, which can be described as a happy event for the people." The implication is to remind Li Xuanba of the importance of the three people in front of him.

"General Wang Long is from Qiongdu, and the road is indeed not easy to walk." Li Xuanba smiled and continued: "General Wei Jiwei, as a Taichang Shaoqing, and the ambassador of Hebei, is far away from the Eastern Capital, and Xuanba does not dare to say anything, but General Wang Wei, you should not come so late as the general Huyalang and the ambassador of Henan, right?" Moreover, the arrival of the three generals in Luoyang at the same time will inevitably make people wonder. His Royal Highness King Yue can't bear to pursue it, but Xuan Ba is a loyal and brave guard personally appointed by His Majesty, so he naturally wants to ask a few more words for His Majesty, presumably the three generals should not blame Xuan Ba for talking too much, right? ”

King Yue thought that he had specially introduced the three of them to Li Xuanba, and smiled helplessly, saying in his heart that Li Xuanba was obviously prepared, where do you need to introduce yourself.

Everyone knows that what Li Xuanba said, not only was it not unintentional, but it also had a deep meaning. But what Li Xuanba said, not leaking, and moving Yang Guang out again, is really irrefutable.

"What do you think you should do with us?" Wei Ji was fearless, and arched his hand and said, "Could it be that Lord Xiang wants the head of the person I am waiting for?" ”

"General Wei's words are serious." Li Xuanba shook his head innocently, and before everyone had time to put down their hearts, Li Xuanba continued: "His Royal Highness King Yue stayed in the Eastern Capital, and how to deal with the three generals is naturally His Royal Highness King Yue has the final say. After speaking, he bowed down and said to Yang Tong: "The three generals must also have difficulties, Your Highness is kind, don't hurt their lives." By the way, Weichen heard that the three generals were honest officials, and it would be too cruel to reduce their salaries. ”

Yang Tong's smile became even more bitter, and he began to regret letting Li Xuanba enter the palace, even though he was extremely smart, but he was only a teenager, and he had never met such a shameless person as Li Xuanba, how did he know how to end?

Although Liu Changgong and Huangfu Wuyi and others had a grudge against Li Xuanba, they also did not have a good impression of Wang Long and the others, after all, they deliberately delayed time, causing the Eastern Capital to be almost breached, so they watched coldly and did not say a word.

Yuan Wendu sighed secretly, got up and arched his hand to King Yue, and said: "The three generals are indeed guilty of dereliction of duty, so it is better to reward each of them with twenty military sticks as a punishment." ”

Yang Tong glanced at Li Xuanba with some fear, for fear that he would say something more, but he saw Li Xuanba's eyes rolling, wandering around, and said before he could speak: "Just do what Master Yuan said." ”

Wang Long and the others bowed their heads and thanked them, and their own sergeants dragged them out for execution.

"With all due respect, when the imperial court is employing people, His Royal Highness should let the three generals pass the merits!" After the three of them were carried back to the hall, Li Xuanba said bitterly. (To be continued.) )
