Tang Xu was very concerned about the small sign that Bai Lun found, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to his sworn brother Li Shouzhen. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info said that since Tang Xu became the chief of the imperial doctor and led the imperial medical hall, Li Shouzhen has had less contact with him. Li Shouzhen was sent to garrison outside the customs before the two met, Li Shouzhen said that he felt that he was not as good as Tang Xu, and he had no face to move around often, but now the inside and outside of the customs are far apart, and Tang Xu should take care. Now that Li Shouzhen has returned to Kaifeng to report on his work for a while, Tang Xu came to inquire about the small brand, and he also wanted to catch up with Li Shouzhen to see if he was okay.

Tang Xu, who made up his mind, found Bai Lun and forged a brand, the size of the ornamental pattern is almost the same, as long as it is not taken out for comparison, ordinary people will definitely not be able to see whether it is forged or not. The reason why Tang Xu did this was also to keep an eye on it, in case this thing was related to Li Shouzhen and he took the opportunity to take it back, then he would have no more proof, after all, Tang Xu and Li Shouzhen knew each other in Du Chongwei's army. It's unkind, but there's no other way. The next day, Tang Xu went to the Li Mansion with the forged sign and Xiaocui, Li Shouzhen's current soldier and horse supervisor is also a member of the Hehe side, and when he returned to Kaifeng, he wanted Zhang Luo and Tang Xu to get together, and now Tang Xu came to the door in person, Li Shouzhen was so unhappy.

"Brother, I was stingy at the beginning, eldest brother, and refused to get together with you for more days, I really miss you these days outside the gate." During the banquet, Li Shouzhen retreated left and right, holding Tang Xu's hand to show his closeness.

"The younger brother also misses the eldest brother very much, I wonder how long the eldest brother can stay when he comes back this time?" Tang Xu asked him.

"Although the country seems to be calm now, it is only a temporary stability, there are constant wars outside the border, and the Khitan has been eyeing our country, I am afraid that the emperor will issue an order again in a few days." Li Shouzhen sighed, but his words were still normal, which made Tang Xu's worries about him a little.

"I heard that General Du went to Zhenzhou, but I don't know if he is healthy." Tang Xu tried Li Shouzhen, Tang Xu had never seen Du Chongwei since the banquet that day, and I heard that he worshiped the envoy of the festival and became a big official of one party, but his reputation outside was not very good, and he heard more rumors that he was not strict in governing the army and was not self-disciplined.

"General Du is at ease in Zhenzhou." Li Shouzhen meant something, Tang Xu knew that he was saying that Du Chongwei was arrogant and did not pay attention to restraining himself and his subordinates, but he pretended not to understand what Li Shouzhen meant by this.

"General Du has the honorable status of the imperial family, so he naturally lives freely and happily." Li Shouzhen still cares about him.

"The younger brother heard that General Du has some problems in Zhenzhou affairs, but I don't know if it's true or not." Tang Xu said again, Li Shouzhen seemed to have some concerns, and was silent several times when he wanted to speak.

"General Du led his troops to fight vigorously and resolutely, but when it comes to daily governance, it is probably a little inadequate. I heard that General Du is going to return to the DPRK soon, I have met him once, and I have entrusted my life with my life, this time he is back, should I go to visit? Tang Xu seemed to be talking to himself, and there was still a meaning of defending Du Chongwei between his words, and Li Shouzhen couldn't sit still.

"Brother Xian." Li Shouzhen interrupted him.

"If Brother Xian is willing to listen to his brother, don't get too close to Du Chongwei in the future, so as not to cause trouble for yourself." Li Shouzhen said. Tang Xu pretended to be surprised and asked him why.

"Hey, the virtuous brother serves the emperor in the palace all day long, and he doesn't know much about things outside the palace, and he doesn't know Du Chongwei's personality. He is now in Zhenzhou, not only does he not know how to restrain his soldiers, but he is even more powerful and powerful. Li Shouzhen lowered her voice as she said this.

"It's like a soil emperor. Just now my brother said that he relied on his status as a royal relative, and that's what he meant. Li Shouzhen continued.

"This person, sooner or later, he will have to poke out the basket for himself, and it is better to stay away." In the end, he came to a conclusion.

"Yes, the younger brother listens to the eldest brother." Li Shouzhen's words still made Tang Xu a little surprised, he thought that Li Shouzhen just couldn't get used to Du Chongwei, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be a lot of grievances, maybe there were many grievances among them. However, Tang Xu is still most worried about that small brand.

"Big brother, little brother, I don't know if you recognize something here?" Tang Xu took out a small card and handed it to Li Shouzhen.

"Where did this thing come from?" Li Shouzhen was taken aback.

"It was the younger brother who picked it up by chance on the street, and he didn't dare to hide it from the eldest brother, the younger brother felt that this thing looked familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it, and when he came today, he wanted the eldest brother to help me see it." Tang Xu made up a reason, he didn't say that this thing was related to those poisonous leaves, otherwise Li Shouzhen would not have told the truth if he had any concerns.

"If I'm not mistaken." Li Shouzhen picked up the small wooden card and looked at it carefully, or pretended to look at it carefully for a long time.

"This talisman is owned by General Du's cronies." Li Shouzhen showed Tang Xu the reverse side of the small wooden card, and there was a seal word "Wei" in the middle.

"General Du's cronies? Could it be that he is here to do something for General Du? Tang Xu was really shocked when he heard Li Shouzhen's words, if Du Chongwei's cronies were related to this matter, then was Du Chongwei himself also related to this matter? If so, what does he want to do? Is it just for money or is there something else going on?

"What the hell did Dewey want to do?" Li Shouzhen muttered, as if she was just saying it to herself. But of course Tang Xu wouldn't think that he was just talking to himself, although the feudal officials were in high and powerful positions, they were not allowed to return to the dynasty without being edicted, not only could they not come back, but their family members and cronies could not act at will. Now Du Chongwei is far away in Zhenzhou, but this talisman has appeared in Kaifeng, even if it has nothing to do with the Wen brothers, he can ask for the crime of leaving his post without permission and plotting against him.

"Maybe this person is just coming back to visit his family, right?" Tang Xu and Li Shouzhen pretended to be stupid.

"Brother Xian, you are not a member of the army, and you don't know the rules in the army. This talisman is not only a status symbol, but also a token. That is to say, if there is nothing important, this token will not be carried with you, and since you have brought it, it must be to see someone and do something. You just said that it is impossible to come back to visit your family and friends with you with a talisman. Li Shouzhen told Tang Xu.

"I see, there are so many doorways in this." Tang Xu sighed, he could be regarded as having a long experience.

"Moreover, this person may have encountered some kind of trouble to lose such an important token." Li Shouzhen said again.

"If it's so important, he's going to want to come and get it back?" Tang Xu asked, but Li Shouzhen shook his head.

"This thing is not recognized by ordinary people, and even if it falls on the street, it is just picked up and used as something to play with, and it doesn't matter." Li Shouzhen said.

"They rely on tokens, and it doesn't matter who the other party is as long as they have tokens?" Tang Xu had a vague idea in his heart, but he didn't have a clue yet.

"It's not that it doesn't matter, but the token represents the identity, and the person who connects it will naturally have extra trust in the person holding the token, even if that person is only meeting for the first time." Li Shouzhen said again.

"I see, could it be that the eldest brother used this talisman when he followed General Du before?" Tang Xu asked, after all, Li Shouzhen was Du Chongwei's subordinate, and it was reasonable to see and use it. But Li Shouzhen was a little unhappy, her face immediately sank slightly, and then she laughed again.
