Returning to the mansion, Wang Fan went to the study and instructed the servants, but now he was not to be seen. However, the servant was not too surprised, but thought that it was the Jiedu who was horrified by the assassination just now, and wanted to be quiet alone.

Knowing the news of Wang Shifan's assassination, Han Yanhui, the envoy sent by Li Cunhuan, hurriedly visited the door in person.

Hearing that Han Yanhui was visiting in person, Wang Shifan couldn't continue to stay in the study, walked out, and asked people to welcome Han Yanhui into the living room.

"Xia Guan has seen the festival marshal, and heard that the festival marshal is going to watch the snow today and was attacked by assassins. Don't know how it goes? If necessary, you don't need to be polite. Han Yanhui politely bowed his hand, but as soon as he looked up, he was stunned, why did Wang Shifan's eyes turn red today? Like crying? Is this called an assassination?

"It doesn't matter! It's just a little frightened! Wang Fan showed a reluctant smile, waved his hand, and spoke. Seeing Han Yanhui looking at himself fixedly, his heart sank, and he asked with a forced smile: "Brother Zang Ming (Han Yanhui's character) What's wrong?" Could it be that there is something wrong with my face? ”

"Oh! Nothing. Han Yanhui waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked with a smile: "It's just that I saw that Jie Shuai's eyes were red and there were traces of tears on his face, so I was very curious!" Maybe the lower officials are wrong, and the marshal doesn't have to mind. ”

Wang Shifan's heart didn't know why, he suddenly lifted it, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a reluctant smile, and said: "It's not just that the lime powder released by the assassin got on his eyes, but it made Brother Zang Ming smile." It's almost the year of establishment, and I'm ashamed to still cry! ”

Han Yanhui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's rude to be a lower official, and it actually evokes the embarrassment of the handsome." ”

"It's okay!" Wang Shifan replied with a smile, as if there was a sense of relief in his tone.

couldn't help but make Han Yanhui quite strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he only said that Wang Fan was a town envoy, so he naturally didn't want to talk about this embarrassing matter, so it was better to divert the topic.

Han Yanhui thought of it and did it, so he immediately diverted the topic, only talking about Wang Shifan's favorite poems Fengyue, and also chatting about major events. But I don't know why Han Yanhui feels that there seems to be something wrong with Wang Shifan today, and he is always absent-minded. Han Yanhui only said that Wang Shifan was frightened by the assassin and was in a trance, so he was embarrassed to continue to stay and disturbed Wang Shifan to rest. came to Wang Shifan's mansion, but left in less than a quarter of an hour.

Wang Shifan rarely did not have a polite surname, and Han Yanhui couldn't help but feel a little more annoyed in his heart. How can you be so rude, I couldn't help but bow my hand to Wang Shifan with a cold face. Wang Shifan hadn't noticed it yet, and seemed to be thinking about something, just letting his teeth send Han Yanhui away.

Han Yanhui couldn't help but be even more annoyed, he came to visit Wang Shifan as Li Cunhuan's envoy, and the result was better. Wang Shifan didn't even keep him politely, as if he wanted to send himself away, was he so disgusting? That's it, for the sake of you being frightened by the Assassins, I don't blame you. Now that I'm leaving, I don't even send myself, but I'm here on behalf of Li Cunhuan! Instead, let a tooth general come to send himself, what is this? Despise the majesty of His Royal Highness King Qin? Han Yanhui didn't say anything, but he had secretly made up his mind in his heart, and when he saw His Royal Highness, he had to say a few bad words to Wang Shifan if he said anything.

After Han Yanhui left, Wang Fan let out a long sigh, and the servants in the polite clothes couldn't help but look at each other, I don't know why his master sighed so decently?

At night, Wang Shifan's concubine was surprised to find that Wang Shifan was tossing and turning, and it was already five watches, and she hadn't fallen asleep yet. I couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, just thinking about the general trend of the world." Wang Shifan said, his voice trembling for some reason, as if he was afraid of something.

"Hmm!" The concubine replied vaguely, and fell asleep again. Although she was strange about Wang Shifan's behavior, she was a woman's family, except for the operation in the room. I know what the general trend of the world is going to be, so I naturally don't dare to say it nonsense, if I say it wrong, it will arouse Wang Shifan's disgust, then I can't steal chickens, and I will lose rice!

Early the next morning, Wang Shifan summoned his younger brother Wang Shiqiong, and his henchmen Liu Jun, Zhang Xian, and Wang Jian went to the White Tiger Hall to discuss matters, which was strange. When Wang Shifan entered the White Tiger Hall that day, he actually wore a Tang knife on his waist, and this was not a silver pewter spear head used for decoration, but a treasure knife used by a general in the army.

I can't help but let the servants in the palace be amazed, now is not the time of war, how did the Jiedu envoy take the Tang knife to the White Tiger Hall? You must know that the White Tiger Hall is a military aircraft center, not to mention the strict guards, and even the generals in the army are not allowed to wear weapons into it. In the Water Margin, there was a Lin Chong who strayed into the White Tiger Hall, but was exiled to Cangzhou.

This shows the strictness of the White Tiger Hall, why did you enter the White Tiger Hall with a Tang knife when you didn't have a period of time? Even if you want to kill someone, it seems that you don't need to make the adults do it yourself, and the tooth soldiers won't immediately click that person! Could it be that the Lord was assassinated by the Assassins, and he was already so scared that he was not safe in his own mansion? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

Strange as it was, but to the servant's surprise, there was no bloodshed in the White Tiger Hall. If there is any difference, it is that the henchman general's face turned a little solemn after he came out. Especially Liu Jun, his face was very complicated, and he didn't know what he was worried about. There is also a festival that makes the adult's face return to the indifference of the past, no longer as distracted as yesterday, as if someone has hooked a little soul.

Then Wang Shifan summoned Han Yanhui, and what puzzled Han Yanhui was that Wang Shifan, who was unruly and rude yesterday, was gone. Treating him more enthusiastically than in the past made Han Yanhui even more puzzled in his heart, and after being polite.

Han Yanhui went straight to the point and said: "I don't know what happened to the commander today?" ”

"Brother Zang Ming is too polite! Just call my word Ang! Wang Shifan said affectionately, an unnatural look flashed in his eyes, but unfortunately Han Yanhui didn't see it.

Han Yanhui smiled but didn't answer, he wasn't ready to continue to talk to Wang Shifan. He did not answer Wang Shifan's words, although he was a little rude. But it can force Wang Shifan to make a statement.

Wang Shifan glanced at Han Yanhui a little helplessly, shook his head lightly and said, "That's it, in fact, it's just that this official has been thinking about it recently, and he is not as good as His Royal Highness King Qin in terms of talent and learning." Therefore, Xia Guan wanted to resign from the post of Pinglu Jiedu envoy and change it to His Royal Highness King Qin himself. Brother Zang Ming is hereby invited to talk. ”

Han Yanhui was overjoyed when he heard this, if he completed the transition of Pinglu to Li Cunhuan's hands, this would undoubtedly be a great merit, maybe Li Cunhuan would be happy and put him below to serve as a governor of the first town, and he would be promoted to one of the six Cao soldiers in a town, and after surviving the qualifications of one term, he could become an observer of a town.

Wang Shifan and Han Yanhui's next thing is to talk about the conditions, Wang Shifan's conditions are very reasonable, Han Yanhui is also happy because Wang Shifan took the initiative to give up Pinglu, and the conditions offered are naturally very relaxed. The two talked happily, and Han Yanhui also forgot about yesterday's unhappiness, although the conditions were negotiated in only half an hour. But Han Yanhui and Wang Shifan still chatted happily for an hour, and Han Yanhui said goodbye and left, sweeping away the depression of yesterday.

When Han Yanhui returned, he couldn't wait to ask the little guy beside him. "What about the letter I asked you to send yesterday?"

It turned out that Wang Shifan had a bad attitude yesterday, even if he returned to the post house, but Han Yanhui was young and vigorous, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He bit the pen and thought about the words, and in the evening he thought about it. Long Feifeng Wu suddenly wrote a letter belittling Wang Shifan. But this is not over, because he was too resentful, he handed it over to the little guy next to him, and personally instructed him to send it out as soon as possible. However, because it was night, the little guy naturally had no way to send it, and Han Yanhui had reconciled with Wang Shifan now, so he naturally had to reply to this letter, otherwise I am afraid that the credit this time would be discounted by His Royal Highness King Qin.

As a result, the little servant patted his chest proudly and said: "My lord, please rest assured, the sky has just dawned today, and there is no rooster crowing yet, so I personally went to the post station to find a messenger, and asked him to hurry up and send the letter that the adult gave me to His Royal Highness the King of Qin." For this reason, the villain made three pieces of silver, so that the messenger got up early to deliver the letter. ”

When Han Yanhui heard this, his face immediately turned dark, and he scolded angrily in a low voice: "Nonsense! ”

While scolding the little guy with a look of grievance, he was at a loss, not knowing that he had offended Han Yanhui, wasn't that letter sent to His Royal Highness King Qin as soon as possible? Miscellaneous changed after one night? This is the big guy, I really don't treat us little people as people! Hum!

Helplessly, Han Yanhui is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say what he is suffering from. He wrote the letter himself, and he sent out the words himself. After scolding the little guy, Han Yanhui was already embarrassed to continue scolding, but he was very aggrieved in his heart.

Han Yanhui had no choice but to find a way to remedy it, but the messenger had already set off for two hours, and when he chased after him, everyone else had already gone to His Royal Highness King Qin to drink half a cup of tea. I had no choice but to write a letter again honestly, honestly writing about Wang Shifan's situation yesterday, admitting that he had taken revenge on Wang Shifan, and then writing about Wang Shifan's willingness to give up Pinglu Domain Town today, and let people send it to Li Cunhuan quickly.

Han Yanhui knew that he confessed to Li Cunhuan that although he would still discount the image in Li Cunhuan's heart, it was better than turning his image into a honey-bellied sword in Li Cunhuan's heart.

…… Zizhou Thorn History Mansion ...... "Your Highness, Han Yanhui has a letter!" Park Le walked in and said to Li Cunhuan respectfully.

"Oh? Early this morning, didn't this guy Han Yanhui send someone to deliver a letter? Why did you write again less than two hours later? Could something have changed? Li Cunhuan muttered in his mouth, but the movements in his hands did not slow down, took the letter handed over by Park Leshe, opened the sealed wax seal, and pulled out the letter paper inside.

There was still a smell of letter ink on the letterhead, and it was obvious that it had not been written for long. Li Cunhuan opened the letter and read it carefully, I don't know why my heart suddenly jumped, and it seemed that something was wrong. It's not that he is dissatisfied with Han Yanhui, but a special intuition.

But Li Cunhuan thought about it carefully, but didn't come up with anything, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "I was really confused by Han Yanhui." It is estimated that Wang Fan snubbed him yesterday and wrote this letter to slander, and it is estimated that today when Wang Fan was willing to let Pinglu come out, he immediately retorted, this guy! It's so snobbish, you have to bang it up! ”

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Park Lechu asked suspiciously, he was not confused by Han Yanhui, but confused by what Li Cunhuan just said.

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's prepare to drive tomorrow!" Go to Qingzhou. ”

"What's wrong?" Pu Lejiao is even more strange, didn't Li Cunhuan say that he would spend the winter in Zizhou before he came, and the weather became hot in January and February, so he went to Mount Tai to worship the sky? Why did you get to Qingzhou?

Li Cunhuan glanced at Pu Lejiao, folded the letter sent by Han Yanhui, put it in his arms and said, "Wang Shifan is interested and is ready to give up the position of the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu." He invited me to Qingzhou, where I handed over the seal ribbon in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in Pinglu. ”

"Why didn't he come to Zizhou to hand over the seal? I also have to bother Your Highness, you deigned to go to Qingzhou to see him Wang Shifan, such a big shelf! Park Lechu said with a little dissatisfaction in his doubts.

"You fool, the ribbon is a symbol of Pinglu's power, just like the emperor ascending the throne. If there is no special thing, the emperor will naturally ascend the throne in the national capital. And now there is nothing special, and this handover of the seal ribbon will naturally be handed over by Qingzhou. Otherwise, it is a disrespect for the power of Pinglu, and it is easy for the civil and military officials of Pinglu to become disgusted. Li Cunhuan scolded with a smile.

"Oh! Sure enough, it is worthy of the magnificent Huaxia, I didn't expect the etiquette to be so comprehensive! Park Lejiao said with a look of adoration.

"You guy! Let's get ready to drive! Li Cunhuan scolded with a helpless smile, but when Park Lejiao said this, Li Cunhuan couldn't help but feel proud of his nation.

"Then Your Highness, I don't know how many soldiers and horses to bring?" Pu Le scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Cunhuan thought for a while and said, "Zizhou is only a hundred miles away from Qingzhou, and it only takes two or three hours for the cavalry to march in a hurry. And it's all in their own territory, so they don't need too many soldiers and horses. Just bring a hundred people, but you have to guard against those long-eyed bandits along the way, although the environment in Pinglu is good, but in the end it is not as good as our Lulong, often send troops to suppress bandits, there are not many bandits. ”

"To be on the safe side, I'll take a thousand cavalry!" Park Lechu said with a cautious face.

Li Cunhuan couldn't help laughing and scolded when he heard this: "You guy! It's only a long way, and you actually have to mobilize a thousand people and horses, and you underestimate me too much, forget it, just take one hundred and fifty horses! By the way, call Guo Chongtao and Yang Shihou and let them meet the world. ”

"Your Highness, doesn't you want to choose one of the two to succeed Wang Shifan Jiedu as the envoy?" Park Leji asked with an envious expression.

"Don't think nonsense, you guy, go down and prepare!" Li Cunhuan shook his head, and he shouldn't have said anything about Park Le's shooting.

It's not good for Park Lezhu to continue to entangle, so he went down to prepare for this trip.

At noon, Han Yanhui, who didn't want Qingzhou, sent another letter, Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be very surprised, but after looking at the letter, he found that it was Han Yanhui who passed the message instead of Wang Shifan. Wang Shifan said that there is a big mountain in the northwest of Qingzhou, which is called Niu Mountain. The plum blossom snow scene in the backyard of Heyang Temple on Niu Mountain is a must in Qingzhou, and Wang Shifan specially invited Li Cunhuan to Heyang Temple to enjoy the snow.

Li Cunhuan knew what Wang Shifan meant after a little pondering, and Xiangxue may really have this intention, but I'm afraid that the main thing is to meet him at the time of handover, and put forward some requests that Han Yanhui can't agree to.

For example, if he wants an official position, this Han Yanhui obviously has no way to give an accurate answer, he only has one suggestion at most, but the decision is in the hands of Li Cunhuan. I also hope that after I leave, my old subordinates can be properly arranged, not to mention promotion, but at least I hope that I can appease my old subordinates and not let them complain, saying that they have given up everyone's interests for their own personal gains and losses. caused himself to get rich, but his old subordinates were eating grass roots.

For this invitation, Li Cunhuan readily agreed, and personally wrote a reply, to the effect that he would arrive at Heyang Temple around dusk tomorrow and ask Wang Shifan to meet tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Park Lejiao was ready to drive, and Li Cunhuan would set off for Qingzhou surrounded by 150 soldiers of Tieyingdu. He was accompanied by Yang Shihou and Guo Chongtao. And Yelu Abaoji was left by Li Cunhuan to manage military affairs, and Feng Dao was to manage the people. In this policy of separating the military and the government, Li Cunhuan has never been ambiguous.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Cunhuan had already leaned into the carriage with half of his body, but Feng Dao ran over panting and shouted, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Wait a minute! ”

Li Cunhuan frowned, retracted his body that had leaned into the carriage, looked at Feng Dao who ran over, and asked suspiciously, "What happened?" In such a hurry? ”

"I just received the paperwork, and Li Cunxiao, the governor of Xiongjin, who came to report on his work, has already crossed the Yellow River. Judging from the current time, it is estimated that Li Cunxiao's governor is only a day's journey from Zizhou. Does the lower official want to ask, let the Metropolitan Governor Li Cunxiao stay in Zizhou and wait for His Highness, or let the Metropolitan Governor Li Cunxiao go to Qingzhou to want His Highness to take up his post? Feng Dao took two deep breaths before saying.

Li Cunhuan muttered: "One day, but unfortunately I have already made an appointment with Wang Shifan, otherwise it doesn't matter if I wait for the eldest brother." But now that the war between Yichang and Weibo is over, no one can say for sure what the situation is now. Let the eldest brother quickly feel the Niushan in the northwest of Qingzhou, and I live in Heyang Temple on the Niushan. After he finished his debriefing, he hurried back to Yichang, so as not to let Luo Hongxin's guy take advantage of the situation. ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Feng Dao complimented.

"Okay, don't be a sycophant." Li Cunhuan scolded with a smile and walked into the carriage. It didn't take long for the group to control the horses and pull the carriage and set off towards the gravel road leading to Qingzhou.
