In the ten days of the confrontation, Meng Chang basically stayed in Tianshui County, and the battle ahead was handed over to Li Tingjue, to be honest, Li Tingjue's strategy was insufficient, but he was unexpectedly appointed by Meng Chang as the main general, which surprised many people, including Li Tingjue himself, he didn't expect that he would be reused, in the past, he only listened to orders under Gao Yanshou, or the prince Meng Xuanjue tried his best to override the public opinion and let him serve as the envoy of the Wuping Army, so he was full of gratitude to Meng Xuanjue, and there was a kind of moving that the person who died as a confidant.
But Li Tingqi is not an extroverted person, he pressed a gratitude in his heart and did not show it, but he was seen by Meng Chang, after all, Meng Chang has been in charge of the country for more than 20 years.
Meng Chang is discussing government affairs with Prime Minister Wu Zhao at the moment.
This is, a guard came to announce: "General Li Tingqi is here." ”
I saw Li Tingqi hurriedly walking into the Tang Dynasty, and he saw Wu Zhao's descendants, so he said: "The minister is late, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." ”
"General Lee, please." Meng Chang stood up and said with a smile: "Since General Li is here, let's start." ”
"This time I asked General Li to come to discuss our next move, judging from the news we got recently, Da Zhou did not gather troops, it seems that he does not want to fight with us, I heard that the princess of Da Zhou's marriage has arrived in Wugong County of Fengxiang Mansion, what should we do next?"
Meng Chang glanced at Wu Zhaoyi, and saw that he was silent in thought, Meng Chang knew him very well, he was the minister he relied on the most, he generally had ideas, but he was very cautious and would not show them easily.
"No prime minister, let's talk about it first."
Wu Zhaoyi bit his lip lightly, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Emperor of the Great Zhou is showing us that the attack on Lord Li's car was not the fault of the Great Zhou, but must be the fault of others. ”
Why didn't Meng Chang know that this was someone else's blame, but because it was related to Meng Xuanjue, he was out of proportion, otherwise why did he gather an army of 150,000 troops, but there was no sign of attacking, now that he has calmed down, he has already thought very clearly, he can't make wedding clothes for others, Meng Xuanjue's body has not been found, if the two countries fight, Meng Xuanjue comes back, wouldn't it be a bad thing.
"Okay, General Li, you go and give the order, first hold the troops still, and wait a few days."
。。。。。。。。
In a remote town outside Wugong County, a man and a woman walked on the town's path, talking and laughing.
"Brother Tianlai, when we arrive, our medicinal herbs will be sold to this pharmacy." The girl smiled, and then walked quickly into the pharmacy, "Uncle Zhao, we are here to deliver medicinal herbs again, Brother Tianlai, come in." ”
The young man carried a large basket on his back, which was filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, all of which were grown by Ye Qing himself, and there were not many medicinal herbs in the village, so the excess medicinal materials were taken to the town and handed over to this pharmacy.
On the counter, a middle-aged man in his forties looked at the arrival of the girl and said with a smile: "Yo, it's Rou'er who is here, I am short of some medicinal materials, so you sent it over, it really solved my urgent need." "The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Fu, and he is the owner of this pharmacy, and he has always purchased Ye Qing's medicinal materials.
"Hey, who is this?" Zhao Fu looked at Meng Xuanjue, a little blind, he had never seen it, and then looked at Ye Rou and said with some amusement.
"Oh, this is my brother Tianlai, the adopted son of my father, Uncle Zhao don't think about it." Ye Rou immediately explained.
"Haha, is it your father's adopted son, or his uncle? Haha "As the saying goes, the more you explain, the more you will make people think about it, plus when Ye Rou said it, she was spitting and spitting, and her face was weird, as a person who was dozens of years old, how could Zhao Fu not know what the situation was.
"Oh, Uncle Zhao, don't talk nonsense, you still don't want medicinal herbs." Ye Rou's face turned red and said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll stop talking, okay."
Meng Xuanjue put down the medicinal herbs, and then handed them over to the guy to clean up, seeing that there were not many pedestrians on the street, so he asked with some curiosity, "Uncle Zhao, why is the flow of people so sparse this morning, I heard my father say that this town is very lively?" ”
"Your name is heaven, right?"
"Yes, in the lower leaves."
"You don't know this, Shu sent 150,000 troops to start a war with Da Zhou, now it's too late for everyone to hide, how can you have the heart to come out and hang out, you guys, go back early, you are remote, there should be no problem, don't come to town recently, wait until this time is over?" Zhao Fu said slowly.
"Ah, there's going to be war again? Didn't it say that Shu and Da Zhou were married? The prince of Shu still wants to marry the princess of the Great Zhou, why is there a war again. "It's really time, Ye Rou finished settling the bill, came out and heard about it, and said loudly.
When Zhao Fu heard this, he immediately said in a low voice and anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, girl, be careful of getting into trouble?" I don't know the specific situation, I have heard from the businessmen who have passed by, and there have been many strangers in the town recently, the dragons and tigers are strong, and the eyes are very scary, and they are soldiers or spies at a glance, so you should be careful. ”
When Meng Xuanjue heard this, he also felt that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he said: "Thank you Uncle Zhao for reminding us, let's go back, Sister Rou, let's go." ”
"But, brother, I haven't bought anything yet?" Ye Rou originally wanted to buy some fabrics and go back to make clothes for Ye Tianlai, but he was still wearing his father's clothes.
"What? I'm disobedient, my father said, I have to listen to me when I come out, go, go back. Meng Xuanjue didn't know who he was before, but his intuition told him that there were many people around him who had murderous aura, so he had to bring Ye Rou back safely.
"Okay, it's up to my brother."
。。。。。。。
After Meng Xuanjue and the two left, in an inn in the town, a person rushed into the No. 1 room of Tianzi, knocking on the door.
"Come in, what's going on." In the room, there were two people sitting, one was burly, his eyes were bright, and the other was dressed as a scholar, very Sven, but when he looked at the position where he was sitting, he knew that it was headed by this weak scholar.
"Mr. Yu, we seem to have discovered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" The person who came was only willing to say in a low voice.
"What?" When the scholar heard this, he sat up in shock, his face showed a look of surprise, and then turned into ecstasy, "Have you taken a closer look?" ”
"The little one has never seen His Royal Highness the Prince, but the marshal showed us the portrait of the prince in the palace, and his subordinates are sure, not mistaken, it must be the prince."
"Okay, you have made a great contribution this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you, go down." After the middle-aged scribe finished speaking, he then said to the burly man: "General Huo, you and I are both the confidants of the marshal, this time we have to be careful to find the prince, and we must not publicize it, but His Royal Highness the prince does not show up, something must have happened, and we still need to observe carefully." ”
"Mr. Yu, don't worry, the end will understand."
