"Smack!" Li Cunhuan shook the bamboo fan in his hand, unfolded it, and said to Feng Baodu: "Let's go!" ”

Feng Baodu led the way in front, and the two guards, Pu Lejiao and Yuan Xingqin, followed behind Li Cunhuan, showing that Li Cunhuan had the demeanor of a noble son. Along the way, Li Cunhuan found that there were hidden people who showed Feng Baodu the way, and soon, Li Cunhuan saw Guo Chongtao, who was squatting on the side of the stall and was interested in buying things.

Li Cunhuan looked left and right, and found that there was a two-story restaurant on the left, so he said to Feng Baodu: "You go and invite Guo Chongtao to come over, remember, be polite!" ”

Although Feng Baodu wondered in his heart why Li Cunhuan attached so much importance to a small admonition, he still didn't ask, just nodded seriously. Li Cunhuan smiled with satisfaction and walked straight into the tavern.

As soon as he entered the tavern, he was greeted by the spiritual shopkeeper, and Li Cunhuan opened his mouth and ordered: "Little Er, go and prepare a good dish for my son!" The weight of five people is indispensable for your benefits! By the way, I want a private room on the second floor. After that, he gestured to Park Le Shot beside him.

Pu Lejiao took out a string of copper coins from his arms, not to mention a hundred copper coins smashed into Xiao Er's arms, and said coldly: "It's not enough, find the master to take it!" ”

"Enough! Enough! Xiao Er smiled and couldn't see his eyes, a hundred copper coins may not be enough, you must know that a stone of wheat, that is, one hundred and twenty catties of wheat is only thirty yuan. Ordinary people eat a meal, and it is only seven or eight cents.

.................. "Brother Guo! Feng Baodu gently patted Guo Chongtao's shoulder, as if he was very familiar.

Guo Chongtao, who was selecting exquisite goods at the stall, raised his head a little stunned, glanced at Feng Baodu, and asked hesitantly, "Are you ......?"

"Huh! Scold! It doesn't matter who I am, Brother Guo, our son-in-law is invited. Feng Baodu said and made a gesture of please.

Guo Chongtao suddenly flashed a trace of realization in his eyes, smiled, stood up, and said to Feng Baodu: "It turned out to be Feng Qianhu, I don't know if it is His Royal Highness King Qin or Guo Zuozhen's envoy of Jinyiwei, or Sun Youzhen's envoy!" ”

Feng Baodu was slightly stunned, he found that Li Cunhuan personally came to find this official named Guo Chongtao is really not ordinary, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that before I saw Li Cunhuan, I may not be able to think of who is looking for them in my life. But this man is different, he straightens through all the information at once, finds three answers, and most importantly, one of them is true.

Feng Baodu was slightly stunned, and was quietly looked at by Guo Chongtao, he knew that he had guessed, but he didn't know which one of the three was it, what was going on with them looking for him?

"Brother Guo is really extraordinary! This way, please! Feng Baodu quickly regained the posture of an old acquaintance, and still refused to invite Guo Chongtao. nor did he answer Guo Chongtao's questions.

Guo Chongtao looked at Feng Baodu's smiling face hidden behind his sworn face, and said with a smile: "It seems that I can't go on a trip, then it's troublesome Brother Feng to lead the way in front!" ”

"Good!" Feng Baodu directly turned around and led the way in front, without looking at whether Guo Chongtao behind him followed. It's all because he is not afraid of Guo Chongtao slipping away at all, not to mention that it is impossible for Guo Chongtao to let Guo Chongtao slip away from the hidden Jinyi guard nearby. Even if Guo Chongtao can slip away under the eyes of Jinyiwei, can he still sneak out of Dingzhou with the entire Hedong delegation? As the saying goes, if you run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple!

When Feng Baodu came to the restaurant, he saw Yuan Xingqin waiting for him in front of the door, Yuan Xingqin nodded at Feng Baodu, and immediately glanced at Guo Chongtao curiously. Guo Chongtao seemed to have some enlightenment, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This way!" After Yuan Xingqin finished speaking, he led the way in front of him and walked up to the second floor. Yuan Xingqin opened the carved wooden door of a private room, and Guo Chongtao saw a handsome young man with a white beard sitting on the main seat, looking at him with a smile.

Although he had already realized something on the way up, when he really saw him, Guo Chongtao couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. He didn't know what kind of attraction he had, so he actually asked Li Cunhuan to come to him in person. To put it nicely, he Guo Chongtao is Li Keyong's admonition, but to put it mildly, it is just a little housekeeper and concierge under Li Keyong's hands. What they do is to usher in the things that are sent to them, and even those people in the Ministry of Rites do not enter, so they can only be regarded as not entering the stream.

The only advantage is probably that it is easy to gain appreciation by being close to Li Keyong, and it is easy to be promoted after a period of qualifications. This is the same as the guards around Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, in this troubled era, the outsiders are basically local officials. However, this seniority, for some talented and ambitious people, is too cruel, not only grinding away their water chestnut, but also easy to make an enterprising young man, become a lifeless middle-aged gentleman, more importantly, the short is five or six years, the long is twenty or thirty years, and there are a few twenty or thirty years in life!

"Brother Guo, please take a seat!" Li Cunhuan smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, but what was surprising was that Li Cunhuan asked to be the first to sit on his left hand. In the Tang Dynasty, the left was the most noble, whether it was a banquet or an early dynasty position, the one standing on the left was undoubtedly the first person.

"This ...... How deserved! Guo Chongtao was flattered, he didn't know what attracted Li Cunhuan to him, and he actually let the envoy of the four towns and the king of Great Qin personally entertain him, not to mention, but also to give him the highest treatment.

"Brother Guo! Please! Li Cunhuan was still smiling, but he was already happy in his heart, what about condescending to the noble, Guo Chongtao was a general of the Later Tang Dynasty, although he didn't know his achievements in foreign countries except for the destruction of Shu. But to be able to lead troops to destroy the Shu Kingdom, there must have been a lot of achievements before as confidence, otherwise who would be stupid to send troops to death. So in Li Cunhuan's heart, Guo Chongtao is Liu Bei's Kong Ming, Sun Quan's Zhou Yu, he only hopes that he can move him and run to his side to do things.

Guo Chongtao pondered for a moment, and said in his heart: If you come, you will be safe. Besides, he asked himself that he didn't have anything Li Cunhuan wanted to plot, even if Li Cunhuan wanted Li Keyong's information, he didn't have to go out himself, and he didn't have to look for his own unpopular confession! Guo Chongtao, who couldn't figure out Li Cunhuan's intentions, sat down in a bit of a daze.

When Li Cunhuan saw Guo Chongtao sitting down, he immediately smiled, but the excitement and cunning on his face that could not be concealed made Guo Chongtao's vigilance greatly increased. Guo Chongtao doesn't want to be sold, and he doesn't know what's going on.

Li Cunhuan immediately beckoned Yuan Xingqin, Feng Baodu and Park Lejiao to sit down, Li Cunhuan only talked about Fengyue at first, and did not say anything else. But after a while, everyone had seven or eight points full. Li Cunhuan quietly glanced at Feng Baodu.

Feng Baodu looked outside with a sentimental look and said: "Now there is still Dingzhou in the world that is so prosperous, probably Jiangling and Huazhou have such a weather!" ”

"Everyone in the world is called Nanguo and North Korea, and they came to praise the Jiedu envoys of Gangneung and Huazhou, but how do they know the prosperity of our Hebei!" Yuan Xingqin shook his head and sighed.

"Nope! I don't pay attention to Nanguo and North Korea, it's a pity! What a pity! Halfway through speaking, Li Cunhuan suddenly shook his head and sighed with regret.

Although he knew that it was Li Cunhuan's attractive trick, Guo Chongtao couldn't help but be attracted by Li Cunhuan's words.

Feng Baodu was a little dissatisfied, and asked: "Gongzi, it's not that I said, Dingzhou may not be as prosperous as Jiangling and Huazhou, but Youzhou has reached 500,000 households and 2.71 million people under Gongzi's rule in the past few years. Youzhou City has a population of 500,000 people, and it is already half of the weather of Chang'an and Luoyang in the past! Who else can compare to a son in the world! ”

"That's it!" Yuan Xingqin and Pu Lejiao hurriedly nodded in response.

"Nope! The most respected and the best minister in my mind to govern the world is the Chongyuan Gong who served as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Festival in the past! Li Cunhuan said nostalgically.

"Could it be that Gongzi is talking about Li Keyong's brother Li Kexiu Li Chongyuan?" Feng Baodu asked with a look of surprise.

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he was stunned at first, although he knew that this was Li Cunhuan's trick, he still couldn't help but show a touch of nostalgia and sadness.

"In the past, it was said that Chongyuan Gong was the envoy of the Zhaoyi Festival, recruiting displaced people to Tuntian, leveling the thieves in the territory, and leaving Luzhou untouched. Although everyone doesn't dare to say that there are big fish and big meat, they can already have a way to live! What a rare thing it is in this troubled world! Li Cunhuan sighed.

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he didn't know what to think, his eyes were a little moist because of his excellent self-control. Guo Chongtao hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the rice to hide his emotional fluctuations.

Feng Baodu echoed on the side, "I have also heard of the deeds of Chongyuan Gong, Chongyuan Gong's surname is frugality, he is dedicated to the people, and the damage to the government is only slightly repaired, and he said: I can have a place to stay!" There are still thousands of people in Luzhou who are unclothed and have no heads. Wait for my help! I'd rather grieve myself than the people! ”

Guo Chongtao didn't know why, his eyes were uncontrollably filled with liquid, and he was picking up the rice, and suddenly felt that the originally sweet rice in his mouth was suddenly full of salty taste. If you look closely, I don't know when, the rice in the bowl is already stained with tears.

Feng Baodu sighed and said repeatedly: "It's a pity! What a pity! ”

"What a pity?" Seeing that Feng Baodu kept saying that it was a pity, he didn't know what a pity was, Yuan Xingqin and Pu Leshu couldn't help but ask in unison.

Guo Chongtao picked up the hand of the chopsticks, clenched it involuntarily, and trembled slightly with excitement.

"It's not that Li Keyong, when he attacked Xingzhou, he passed through Luzhou, and Chongyuan Gong himself was also poor, seeing that it was the eldest brother who came, he naturally did his best to entertain him. But how much money does Chongyuan Gong have in his hands! The luxurious banquet in the eyes of Chongyuan Gong was actually considered by Li Keyong to be eaten by small families. As a result, not only was Li Keyong think that Chongyuan Gong neglected him, but also thought that everything Chongyuan Gong did was an evil way, saying: Don't train soldiers and horses well, and take care of those untouchables and waste food. Let people whip Chongyuan Gong as a punishment, Chongyuan Gong was angry and attacked, and it didn't take long for him to die. Alas! Feng Baodu sighed.

Li Cunhuan slapped the table and shouted angrily: "It's okay that this one-eyed dragon has no vision, and he actually used Li Kegong to replace Chongyuan Gong, this Li Kegong doesn't learn and has no skills, he will only collect money." As a result, a mutiny occurred in Luzhou, which once again became a hell on earth, and cleaned up the painstaking waste of Chongyuan Gong! ”

"Don't talk about it!!" Guo Chongtao stood up suddenly, slapped the table with both hands, shouted very rudely, turned around angrily, and pushed open the door to leave.

Looking at the back of Guo Chongtao leaving, Li Cunhuan was not angry at Guo Chongtao's rudeness, but showed a touch of triumph, very proud.

Feng Baodu said with a smile: "Childe, it seems that the information I got is not wrong, Guo Chongtao was born among the exiles, and he is valued by Chongyuan Gong and is a confidant. How not to be indignant about the affairs of Chongyuan Gong! Childe caused the dissatisfaction in Guo Chongtao's heart, I am afraid that Guo Chongtao will not be able to escape the palm of Childe's hand. ”

"That's because Li Keyong can't use people! It's okay to be a good person, and you still scold. Li Keyong is not just missing Zhang Quanyi's Li Kexiu! There's no Kong Ming yet! Li Cunhuan sneered.

When Feng Baodu and Yuan Xingqin heard this, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, not knowing where Guo Chongtao had Kong Ming's demeanor.

"Childe, where are we going next? Back home? Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Park Leshu diverted the topic and asked.

"Nope! It's hard to have time to come out and play, so naturally I have to play! "Li Cunhuan doesn't want to become a little old man without forty, and playing is the best way to relax.

I found a shopkeeper to settle the meal money. Li Cunhuan walked out, only to see that there were hawkers in the streets and alleys, as small as the vendors along the street, as large as the shops on both sides, and there were stalls on both sides in the middle.

"Miss, isn't that guy in front of you Li Cunhuan!" Xiaoqing, the maid beside the county lord of Jiexiu, suddenly pulled the corner of the county lord's clothes and pointed to Li Cunhuan, who was interested in buying hairpins not far away.

"Huh!" When the county lord of Jiexiu saw it, wasn't it Li Cunhuan! I can't help but think that this guy dared to refuse to marry him yesterday, although it was not her personal proposal, but this was enough to make a daughter's family angry. What's more, the lord of Jiexiu County is different from ordinary women. Her father Li Keyong is from Shatuo, and her mother is from the Western Regions, and she does not have the weakness of a woman in the Central Plains, and she has always dared to act.

"I've got to teach this guy a good lesson!" A mischievous look flashed in the eyes of the lord of Jiexiu.

"Miss! What a lesson! Xiaoqing couldn't help but feel short of breath when she looked at the two tall guards behind Li Cunhuan. Although the county lord of Jiexiu also has guards, just looking at the momentum, he knows that the two guards around him cannot be the opponent of Li Cunhuan's two guards!

"Humph! Naturally, I have a way to let him know about the county...... Miss's awesome! The triumphant lord of Jiexiu almost told his identity, but fortunately he was still vigilant.
