Jiangning.

Yang Xueruo followed her father Yang Qi to climb the city gate tower about dozens of feet high, stood on the city tower, and looked at the spectacular snow scene that covered the sky, and her heart was shocked. The snow-capped fields extend all the way to the north to the banks of the surging river, and on the surface of the river, there is also a deep fog, and there is a sad and vast atmosphere between heaven and earth.

Yang Qi wrapped his cloak, glanced back at his daughter, and said lightly: "Kong Sheng left Jiangning in a hurry, and at this moment, I am afraid that he will be blocked by heavy snow on the road. ”

Yang Xueruo owes a salute: "Father, Kong Lang is going to Henan, not afraid of danger, is a passionate ambition to serve the country, although his official position is humble, but my daughter believes that in time, he will definitely return to Jiangnan after becoming famous!" ”

Yang Qi seemed to smile: "Really? The old man will have to wait and see. Daughter, you can relax, the old man's promise is still valid, as long as he can meet my expectations in two years, I will not object to your marriage! ”

Yang Xueruo smiled lightly and bowed deeply: "Thank you father, my daughter is grateful and has a salute for Kong Lang!" ”

Yang Qi turned his head away, a smile on his face.

Kong Sheng left Jiangning in a hurry, he didn't take it to heart, in his opinion, this was normal, the young man had an official position, how could he not be in a hurry? When he was young, he was also average. At the moment, he is still concerned about the overall situation of the imperial court to quell the rebellion, and he has sent many scouts to Jiangbei, Shannan and even farther Henan, Hedong, and Hexi, if there is news, it will inevitably be transmitted back to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

What also annoyed him a little was that at yesterday's dinner, Li Fuguo actually asked him in public when he could organize his army to go north to put down the rebellion, and he used the court and the emperor to pressure him.

Although Yang Qi prevaricated on the grounds of reorganizing the army and raising grain and grass, he couldn't delay it for too long, otherwise, he would be sued by this Li Fuguo to the emperor, and he, the emperor of the Jiangnan soil, would be in trouble.

Cotton Tree handed Yang Xueruo a warm bag, Yang Xueruo took it and put it in the palm of her hand, looked up at the endless snowy scene, and silently wished Kong Sheng a safe journey and all things going well.

Inn.

Li Fuguo walked around the hall with a gloomy face, and in the past two days, he openly and secretly tested Yang Qi's attitude and found some problems.

Regarding the imperial court's orders, Yang Qi ostensibly obeyed them, but they all stayed in words and did not put them into practice. And the so-called "raising grain and grass and preparing for war" in his mouth is actually an empty word, Jiangning City is still calm, and the Jiangnan military horses under Yang Qi are still guarding the military camps in various places, and there is no sign of mobilization.

Li Fuguo can become a generation of traitors in the future, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, so he naturally has his own merits. He is scheming and good at observing words and feelings, and from Yang Qi's performance and attitude, he feels that something is wrong.

His political sensitivity is still quite strong. In order to verify his guess, he even deliberately left the post house with two little eunuchs Yi Fu and wandered around the city, only to find that Yang Qi had sent someone to secretly monitor his whereabouts!

And the team of palace guards he brought was also firmly controlled by Yang Qi's people in the side courtyard on the left side of the post house, although they served with good wine and food all day long, and arranged food, clothing, housing and transportation so that people could not find fault with it, but if there was a wind and grass, this team of palace guards would become the meat to be slaughtered on Yang Qi's military board.

A layer of fine beads of sweat slowly oozed from Li Fuguo's forehead.

He realized that the crisis was coming, and his desire for power and nostalgia for the prosperous Jiangnan were immediately cleansed. He knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and he had to leave Jiangning as soon as possible, otherwise, what awaited him might be a point of no return.

However, if Yang Qi was really as he guessed and judged, he had already fallen into Yang Qi's palm, how could Yang Qi easily let him go?

What to do?!

Li Fuguo was anxious, like an ant on a hot pot. He paced back and forth with a calm face, and the two little eunuchs who were serving him didn't know what to do, and when they saw that he seemed to be troubled, they smiled and said: "My lord, I heard that there is a Wangjiang Tower outside Jiangning City, and the scenery is good, why don't you let the maid and others accompany the adults out of the city to play and relax?" ”

Li Fuguo was angry and scolded angrily: "Play a fart!" When are you two stupid rammers still having the leisure to play? Get out of here, don't make the miscellaneous family angry here! ”

The two little eunuchs were reprimanded inexplicably, and retreated uneasily, but they didn't know what Li Fuguo had suddenly gone crazy about.

Li Fuguo looked at the backs of the two little eunuchs leaving, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed joy: It is better to mobilize the palace guards in the name of going out of the city to play, take the opportunity to cross the river and go north, and escape from the territory of Yang Qi, a dog thief, first!

As long as he enters the territory of Huainan Province, it is not a sphere of influence that Yang Qi can control.

Li Fuguo immediately summoned Xian Yulie, the commander of the palace guards of this team, in.

Xian Yulie is the captain of Zhaowu in the Forbidden Army, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He walked in with a majestic look in the standard Mingguang armor, gave a military salute to Li Fuguo, and said in a muffled voice: "The last general has seen Qincha!" ”

"Xian Yulie, tomorrow the miscellaneous family wants to go out of the city to Wangjiang Tower to play, you go and gather all the palace guards, tomorrow morning, we will go out of the city!"

"Yes!" Xian Yulie clenched his fists and bowed, turned around and was about to leave.

Li Fuguo hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "This place is safe, there is no danger, you don't have to bring too many people, just ...... Just take more than ten palace guards to go out of the city with the miscellaneous family tomorrow! ”

Li Fuguo is also a scheming person, he knows that if he takes all the palace guards out of the city, it will inevitably cause Yang Qi to be highly vigilant. If he only took a dozen people out of the city, even if Yang Qi still had to send someone to monitor his whereabouts, he still had a chance to escape.

"Yang Qi, you traitor! If you let the miscellaneous family escape, you will definitely report your disobedient behavior to Your Majesty! You just wait, when the imperial army arrives, there will be no way for the traitors to live! Li Fuguo gritted his teeth and cursed secretly: "The bastard thing of the dog day, he dares to disrespect the emperor's order, and he is rebellious, just like An Lushan, he is a damned traitor!" ”

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Qi got a report that Li Fuguo was going to take people out of the city to go to Wangjiang Tower early tomorrow morning, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Yang Qi is confident that his power in Jiangnan is monstrous, and on his one-third of an acre of land, Li Fuguo is a grasshopper on the rope, no matter how far he jumps, he will never be able to jump out of the palm of his hand.

Besides, Yang Qi didn't expect Li Fuguo to be so cunning, and he would have the idea of fleeing from Jiangning immediately.

Yang Qi looked at Yang Kuan and smiled indifferently, his face was cold: "If you want to play, let him go, Yang Kuan, this ice and snow, arrange some people to serve Lord Qincha along the way, this is a noble person in the court, don't be lazy!" ”

Yang Kuan hummed, bowed, and then retreated.
