And Li Cunhuan couldn't help but hesitate, why didn't he know the value of these soldiers and horses? But when I thought that these soldiers and horses were all guest troops, their families were all in Huainan. With no one to rely on in Lulong, these guest troops are the easiest to rebel. Therefore, Li Cunhuan recruited troops in Lulong, there is a criterion, there must be family members.

The only exception is probably the Loyal and Filial Piety Army, but this exception is also because only Han Chinese slaves who escaped from the grassland were recruited, and they had an indescribable hatred for the peoples of the grassland. Moreover, Li Cunhuan generally ordered his subordinates to contact the woman immediately for them, so that they could start a family in Lu Long. Otherwise, they will be put on the border to be the catchers, these people are the most feared people of the grassland people, and falling into the hands of these catchers is not a question of whether they will die or not, but that there is no way to die. Let you taste all the torture in the world, and then you can die. It is even more unlikely that you will surrender to the steppes.

In this way, it seems that it is the best choice to put back more than 6,000 Huainan troops and exchange them for the families of Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu. First, you can throw this hidden danger out, and second, you can get the center of a general's talent.

Thinking of this, Li Cunhuan immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" Just do what you say! ”

Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu couldn't imagine that Li Cunhuan valued them so much, and did not hesitate to exchange more than 6,000 elite soldiers for their loyalty. The two couldn't help but be greatly moved, and they couldn't help but have the urge to die as a confidant.

Originally, after Li Cunhuan appointed Wang Maozhang Yao to lead the Yiwu Festival, Li Qianyu was appointed as the commander of the white-robed army, that is, to command a battalion of soldiers and horses, the horse army was 400 people, and the infantry army was 500 people.

It can be seen from here that what Li Cunhuan values is actually Wang Maozhang alone, and Li Qianyu is just incidental. To put it bluntly, it's like buying a car, and there are often small gifts to give. Probably Li Qianyu was in Li Cunhuan's eyes, so he gave this kind of small gift.

I didn't want Li Qianyu to agree, but Wang Maozhang didn't agree, according to Wang Maozhang said: "The last general has not made an inch, how can he hold this high position?" ”

Li Cunhuan thought about it, too, although he values Wang Maozhang, if Wang Maozhang is pulled to too high a position all of a sudden, he will make more meritorious contributions in the future, wouldn't he be unsealable? Rewarded?

Besides, Wang Maozhang has aroused countless jealousies, and I am afraid that his lord will also be complained. Li Cunhuan immediately appointed Wang Maozhang as the envoy of Dingzhou. This position is not high, and certainly not low.

Li Cunhuanxuan was about to hand over the matter of negotiation with Yang Xingmi to Guo Chongtao, and at the same time sent Park Jinghui to assist. There will be no danger in this, and Park Jinghui naturally agreed very happily.

Li Cunhuan ran back to Qizhou Licheng in high spirits, all because Ying Lian is now in Licheng. Li Cunhuan finally had a back, and after thinking about it, he was seventy-seven out of twenty. In modern times, it can be regarded as an older child, and Li Cunhuan didn't have a queen before, and he didn't feel anything special, but the older he gets, the son doesn't have either, and it's false to say that he is not in a hurry.

When he arrived in Licheng, Li Cunhuan didn't notify the others, and went straight to the room, only to see Ying Lian sitting in the room with a happy face, and his left hand lovingly caressed his abdomen. Seeing Li Cunhuan rushing back, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Your Highness! You...... How did you get back? Shadow came over with a look of surprise on her face.

Li Cunhuan hugged Ying Lian's delicate body and said with a smile: "I'll come back to see my little beauty!" Let me see, it's a boy or a girl! ”

Li Cunhuan said, then reached out to touch Ying Lian's abdomen, but he didn't want to feel nothing, Ying Lian couldn't help but smile and scolded: "It's only three months old, ......" Saying this, Ying Lian's smile couldn't help but be a little more far-fetched.

Li Cunhuan didn't see it, he just lowered his head with a happy face, stuck to Ying Lian's soft chest, and hugged Ying Lian's waist with both hands, carefully, as if holding a delicate ceramic.

After a long while, Feng Baodu's words sounded outside the house, "Your Highness, Mr. Zhou, Yang Du's commander, and Feng Senjun ask to see you." ”

"Alas, these guys, just came back and let me deal with things, I can't even want to accompany my wife and children!" Li Cunhuan was a little dissatisfied, loosened his hands, brushed aside the green silk on his forehead for Ying Lian, and said tenderly: "You wait here for a while, I will send those uninteresting guys away immediately!" ”

"Your Highness, national affairs are of great importance! You're going to have a long love affair! Shadow smiled reluctantly, as if she was unhappy.

Li Cunhuan knew that there was a period of emotional instability during pregnancy, and she was very attached to her husband. Li Cunhuan didn't care about Ying Lian's abnormality, and reassured: "Ying Lian doesn't need to wait long, her husband will be back soon!" ”

"Your Highness......" Ying Lian nodded when she heard this, and spoke, but after saying two words, it seemed that there was something unspeakable. I wanted to say it, but I didn't dare to say it.

"What's wrong?" Li Cunhuan asked, looking very concerned.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you won't want me and the child, will you?" There was a whimper in Ying Lian's voice, and the whole person looked extremely pitiful.

"What are you thinking!" Li Cunhuan scolded with a smile, "Why don't we have our own wives and children? I, Li Cunhuan, am also a man who stands up to the sky, where would I do this kind of thing of abandoning my wife and children! Did you hear any rumors from there, regardless of him! Okay, don't think about it, Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid they can't wait impatiently! ”

After Li Cunhuan finished speaking, he gently kissed Ying Lian's soft jade face, and then turned to leave. Ying Lian looked at Li Cunhuan's back with complicated eyes, and often opened her jade lips several times, wanting to speak and stopping, as if she had something to say to Li Cunhuan. However, Li Cunhuan didn't have to work in a blink of an eye, and he had already opened the door and left.

Not long after Li Cunhuan left, Feng Baodu walked to the door of the room, stared at Ying Lian, and beckoned outside: "You come in and take care of Madame, don't let Madame run around, and don't let Madame do stupid things." ”

Hearing this, Ying Lian suddenly became crazy and roared, "Feng Baodu! What do you mean! ”

"The subordinates are just worried about Madame! Madame don't have to think about it! Feng Baodu's eyelids slowly drooped, lowered his head slightly, and responded respectfully.

"Are you putting me under house arrest! Is this what His Highness meant? It's still what you dog minions mean! Ying Lian clenched a pair of jade fists, her teeth clenched her lower lip, and a pair of eyes that were full of infinite charm rolled with crystal liquid.

"Madam, you are too careful!" Although Feng Baodu's reply was respectful, it was obviously perfunctory. After the four maids entered the room, Feng Baodu immediately closed the door.

Ying Lian sat down on the stool, his eyes looked a little dull, and at this time, Feng Baodu's voice came again, only to hear him instruct the soldiers of Tieyingdu standing guard: "Don't let Madame go out, it's cold and freezing, and it is easy to affect the fetus." ”

"The subordinate obeys!" The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Capital replied respectfully.

Shadow Rey slammed her fist against the round table on the side, her white fist hair was red and painful, and Shadow Rey still didn't feel it. A maid bowed and said, "Madam, please go to bed." Although the tone was respectful, there was a firmness in her voice, and Ying Ren knew that all this was the problem of the child in her womb.

She couldn't help but stroke her abdomen and muttered, "Son, why can't you come later!" ”

There was an indescribable sparseness in his voice.

………… Li Cunhuan originally walked to the White Tiger Hall, but he got a hint from the soldiers around him, Zhou Yanpet, Yang Shihou and Feng Dao were actually waiting for him in the living room. Li Cunhuan thought to himself, if it wasn't in the White Tiger Hall, it wouldn't be a military problem. If it's not a study, it's not a matter of government affairs. Looking for yourself in the living room though? Could it be a personal issue? What the hell are these guys doing?

Li Cunhuan came to the living room, only to see that Zhou Yanpet, Yang Shihou and Feng Dao did not talk to each other, but were all sitting on wooden chairs, obviously communicating clearly before coming. Seeing Li Cunhuan coming, the three of them stood up, bowed down and said, "Xiaguan (the last general) has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Chitose!" Chitose! Chichitose! ”

"Excuse me!" Li Cunhuan waved his hand, glanced at the three of them suspiciously, and said, "Is there something wrong with you guys?" The lonely king finally enjoyed a moment of family fun, but he was disturbed by you? What's the problem? ”

But he didn't want Zhou Yanchong, Yang Shihou and Feng Dao to show embarrassed looks, and the puzzle on Li Cunhuan's face was even stronger, and he opened his mouth to urge: "What are you doing!" Yang Shihou, you are a person in the army, how to learn the literati's flustery, it's up to you! ”

Zhou Yanpet and Feng Dao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this. When Yang Shihou heard this, his face fell for a moment, and he sighed and said, "Uh...... It wasn't supposed to be something we should have said, but it was too important. Your Highness, we have to ask, that, I think Yuan Xingqin and Xie Yanzhang both told you, what do you mean by this? ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he couldn't help but be even more strange, frowned, and thought: What did Yuan Xingqin and Xie Yanzhang say to themselves? What did you say to yourself? Oh! Shadow mercy is there.

Li Cunhuan's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he said, "You are talking about Ying Lian!" What's there to say about this? ”

"Ahem! Cough! Yang Shihou coughed embarrassedly, hesitated, and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”

Li Cunhuan frowned and said, "Very good!" What's there? I thought that after no, you talked to me all day long, moved back to the side, broke through head-on, tactfully, directly, suggestively, everything. Now that I have it, do you have any objections? After speaking, his tone was a little impatient.

When Yang Shihou heard this, he looked like he was scared, and he couldn't say a word.

When Zhou Yanpet saw Yang Shihou's appearance, he couldn't help but scold secretly: You guy, how smart you are when you fight! How to seize the opportunity! Miscellaneous are all idiots now. I had no choice but to stand up and whisper: "This...... Your Highness, you know, ahem! That one...... This identity! Yes...... There is one point, I think Your Highness understands...... Right? ”

Li Cunhuan saw that Zhou Yanpet said so much nonsense, in the final analysis, it was because of the identity of Ying Lian, Li Cunhuan frowned, and asked Feng Dao, "You mean the same thing?" ”

"Just a little!" When Feng Dao heard this, he couldn't help but shrink his head, wishing that he would become a turtle and that he could shrink his head into the turtle shell. The voice of the reply was even more as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, his voice was weak, and he was obviously lacking in qi.

"Han Gaozu is also a hooligan! You can't dig his grave and say that you are not worthy of being emperor! The Lone King has to admit that Shadow Mercy does not come from a very good background. But is there anything wrong with that? Did she do it voluntarily? Heroes don't ask about their origins, why can't beauties? And she and I are the lonely queen, is there a red apricot out of the wall? You guys came out and jumped out? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's empress Wei Zifu was also born as a singer! Is it better than the identity of the shadow pity? Li Cunhuan was really angry, stretched out his right hand, pointed at Zhou Yanpet and scolded, looked for Yang Shihou to scold, and then found Feng Dao to scold. The three people who scolded scurried with their heads.

But listen, Zhou Yanpet also heard that there was a problem, it turned out that Li Cunhuan didn't know about that matter! Otherwise, he wouldn't have said anything about the identity of Lady Shadow Rei, to be honest, the identity of Shadow Recy certainly made his subordinates dislike. However, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, Tang Taizong slept with his sister-in-law, and Tang Xuanzong also accepted his daughter-in-law as a concubine (Yang Guifei), which is not counted, and he also worked with his wife's sister, (afraid of harmony, you understand!) It's a big [***]! Compared with Li Cunhuan's pity, it is even better.

I don't see that the important minister has the courage to risk death to admonish, and he is not deaf and blind who choose his surname. Therefore, although Li Cunhuan's subordinates are dissatisfied, it is not enough that several important ministers have come to find Li Cunhuan to force the palace, what if they succeed? Li Cunhuan will not be grateful. Failure is worse and only disgust.

Zhou Yanpet hesitated and said, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Please listen to a word from the next official! ”

Li Cunhuan didn't know if he was tired of scolding and wanted to take a breath, or if he was scolding until now, he was angry. Anyway, he didn't continue to scold, and spit out: "Say! ”

stood in the living room, panting, but his eyes were staring at Zhou Yanpet, as if Zhou Yanpet said something unpleasant, so he asked someone to pull Zhou Yanpet out and cut it.

Zhou Yanpet hesitated for a moment, and said to Li Cunhuan: "Trouble Your Highness to order the servants to go down!" ”

"What's the secret! Don't let anyone know yet! Li Cunhuan said that although he said so, he still waved his hand and said, "You all go down!" You (Li Cunhuan said to the soldiers of Tieyingdu guarding the door) also retreated into the corridor, without notice, and no one was allowed to enter! ”

"No!" The servants and the Iron Eagle soldiers hurriedly answered.

It didn't take long for the living room to be empty, even the wooden door of the living room was closed, Li Cunhuan glanced at Zhou Yanzhong, which means: You can also say it, right?

But Zhou Yanpet now seems to have become a member of the underground party, although he knows that there is no one else in the living room except Li Cunhuan, Yang Shihou, and Feng Dao, but he still looks left and right, and then speaks.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Yanpet overwhelmed his voice and said, "That, cough cough ......"

"Speak quickly! If there's a fart, let it go! Li Cunhuan was also provoked by Zhou Yan's betrayal.

Zhou Yanpet glanced at Li Cunhuan helplessly, and said, what you told me to say, don't blame my brother's appearance. makes Li Cunhuan angry and funny, but more curious.

"Your Highness, you got acquainted with Lady Shadow in September, right? In late November, the doctor came to diagnose that Mrs. Ying Ren was two or three months pregnant, but the doctor said that this kind of thing is not easy to say, and it depends on the time of birth, so you can roughly know the exact time. Your Highness...... You...... You get the idea, right? Zhou Yanpet swallowed his saliva and asked.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, his face changed slightly, and when he heard Zhou Yanzhong hint that his surname was so strong, how could Li Cunhuan not understand. Of course, it wasn't that Li Cunhuan was stupid before, but he just thought about his own future, but ignored this matter.

In this way, Li Cunhuan also understood the reason why Zhou Yanpet and the three of them came over, I am afraid that he was afraid that he would be fascinated by Ying Pian in a daze, and made a promise that if he gave birth to a boy, he would be the son of the world.

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but feel unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, no one can understand the current situation, whose child is it, even Li Cunhuan doesn't dare to say, is this child his own? There are no modern paternity tests in this era. If it should be said that there is a paternity test, then it is a blood test. But Li Cunhuan doesn't know the unreliability of this thing, who dares to say that the same blood type as himself is his own son?

And there are only a few types of blood types, especially type O, all blood types can be fused. And it just so happens that Li Cunhuan is O-type.

"Stand down, all of you!" Li Cunhuan waved his sleeve robe in distress and said in a low voice.

"The lower official (the last general) will retire!" Zhou Yanpet, Yang Shihou, and Feng Dao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly left.

But Li Cunhuan was still in no mood to see Ying Lian, he didn't know why he wanted to find someone to vent.

"Prepare the car!" Li Cunhuan shouted.

"Your Highness? Where to go? Feng Baodu walked over quickly, and asked in some surprise, I don't know that Li Cunhuan has just come back from Qingzhou, so he can't take a good rest, so he is ready to travel to Qizhou to play? .

"Go back to Youzhou!" Li Cunhuan roared in a low voice, as if he could vent a trace of depression in his heart through roaring.

"Your Highness? Can't you sacrifice to Mount Tai in spring? And even if you leave, you can rest for a day, right? Your body is not fit for long journeys. You must know that you only rushed back from Qingzhou today. Feng Baodu was even more surprised and couldn't help but persuade.

"Do you have a car?" Li Cunhuan raised his head, and his eyes were filled with indescribable evil energy.

Feng Bao knew that it was Ying Lian's incident that stimulated Li Cunhuan fiercely, and now Li Cunhuan has insisted on going his own way, and it is useless to say anything to himself. I just hope that His Highness can come to his senses as soon as possible.

Feng Baodu hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The last general should obey his orders!" ”

Li Cunhuan felt a little more comfortable at this time, but when he thought of Ying Lian and the child in her belly, Li Cunhuan's heart couldn't help but become irritable.
