In the study room of the Marshal's Mansion in the inner city, there were several letters in front of Chen Kefu, all of which were sent back from the Central Plains by the Secret Service.

One of them was written by his father, Qi Han Taishou Chen Shen. The former wise crown prince became a Taishou of the Great Sui Border Pass at this time. For his son, who has not been in contact for more than 20 years, he is deeply expressed

Missing, in the letter, he was a little worried about Chen Kefu not being able to live in seclusion as an ordinary person in the end, but instead became a minister of the Great Sui. Especially this son, who has never met, suddenly became the marshal of the Great Sui.

In the letter, there was a faint meaning of persuasion, saying that he hoped that he would live a safe life and not cause any more trouble.

After reading the letter, Chen Kefu just smiled. Sometimes he is nothing more than a spark, using himself as a guide, igniting a large area. By the time he got to the back, everything was out of his control.

The other two letters, one was the intelligence of the Secret Service Department about the Central Plains, and the world was even more chaotic, and Li Valve suffered a catastrophe. Only his father-in-law, Li Yuan, successfully escaped the catastrophe and died in Li Hun's family

When he was killed, and most of the other ministers surnamed Li in Beijing were degraded, he not only did not have anything to do, but stayed behind from Honghua County and was promoted to the ambassador of Hedong comfort. Moreover, the Secret Service also wrote in the letter that the imperial court seems to have been corrected recently

In secret discussions about the Eastern Turks, he even sent the most proficient diplomatist in the court, Huangmen Shilang Pei Shiju, to envoy to the Turks.

After reading this letter, Chen Kefu couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, Yang Guang is really an ambitious king. Goguryeo had just been peaceful, but it had already set its sights on the Eastern Turks, who had entered far away. I just don't know why he

Can't you look at the Central Plains land at your feet? If Yang Guang can really cultivate martial arts and recuperate, no matter how many bandits in the Central Plains are, they can also be quelled. It's a pity that once this is decided, the nine-headed dragon can't pull it

The peerless emperor who returned.

When he saw the third letter, Chen Kefu's smile froze. This letter was sent by his father-in-law, Li Yuan, who had just been promoted to the ambassador of Hedong comfort, and began with a large article to congratulate him on his pacification of Liaodong and worship

Xiang's congratulatory message also allowed Chen Kefu to return to the Central Plains this year and marry Li Xiuning at that time. In the end, he made a request that made Chen Kefu hesitate. In the letter, Li Yuan said that he was promoted to the ambassador of Hedong, but the bandits in Hedong were also very strong

He doesn't have any manpower.

He hoped that at this time, Chen Kefu would let his two sons, who had been training under him for a long time, return to Hedong to help him suppress bandits.

Looking at this letter, Chen Kefu hesitated, Li Yuan, as in history, step by step, from the mediocre Tang Guogong in the past decades, slowly stepped onto the stage of the feudal minister of the Great Sui. History above Li Yuan

It was after becoming the minister of Hedong that he began to form his own forces. In the end, he went one step further and stayed in Taiyuan, where a group of teams were formed, and finally the situation in the world was clear, and Yang Guang could no longer turn the tide.

Therefore, he immediately sent troops to rebel, and finally replaced Yang with Li and Sui in the Tang Dynasty.

When I first got on with Li Yuan, and even got engaged to his daughter, it was a bit of a mistake. Later, let the Li Shimin brothers join the army, and they didn't think too much about it at that time.

But now it's different, his daily standard is clear, pointing directly to the world. And Li Yuan is also a potential opponent of his, in front of the competition for the world, there is no family affection, let alone just a father-in-law.

Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, the two brothers, have been in the Liaodong Army for so long, first the hoplites, and then the hoplites, which can be said to be the essence of the most elite ace troops in the Liaodong Army. If the two brothers were to return to Li Yuan's side at this time, wouldn't it make Li Yuan feel like a tiger. When the opportunity comes, this kid will definitely be even more dishonest, and he will definitely rebel again.

Now Li Shiminfu, the younger brothers don't know about this matter yet, but if they wait until the team comes from the Central Plains, Li Yuan will definitely bring them another letter at that time. Two brothers, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, Chen Ke

I like it very much. Although Li Xuanba is not very smart, but he is brave, when he fights, he carries a large Mo knife, when he is clothed, his subordinates are basically brought with him, and the most suitable for such a general is to carry weight

Infantry. And Li Shimin has been in the Liaodong Army for half a year, and he has temporarily lost the aristocratic flashiness on his body. Not only is he brave in battle, but what is even more rare is that he has the potential to be a commander, and he can think more when leading troops.

These two people are now the first-class generals under him. To be honest, he really didn't want to let them go. But now that Liaodong is pacified, it is impossible for him to really keep holding on to it. Even if he knew that Li Yuan would rebel in the future, at this time, Li Yuan was still his help rather than an enemy.

,

If Li Shimin and the brothers were given a choice, it was not clear how Li Xuanba chose him. But Li Shimin will definitely choose to return to the Central Plains, Chen Kefu is only his brother-in-law, but Li Yuan is his father. The world is in chaos, and everyone will want to jump out and fight.

With a sigh, Chen Kefu put Li Yuan's letter into the desk. It's better to hold on for the time being, he really doesn't want them to leave. Leaving at this time is not only to cut off an arm, but also to do it

strengthened the strength of Li Yuan, a future opponent. However, in his heart, Chen Kefu also understood that the departure of the two brothers of the Li family basically did not have any big doubts. If you stay for a while, you can't stay for a lifetime. Unless he looks for a chance

Kill these two brothers, but he can't do such a thing, and second, it will do more harm than good.

Even if Li Yuan rebelled, one of them was in the east and the other in the west, so it can be said that there would not be much conflict of interest at the beginning, but they could echo each other. When the situation became clear, he believed that he would be the winner.

Now history has changed, he has land, money, food, and an elite army, but Li Yuan doesn't have anything. Chen Kefu smiled, whether he was too worried. Let's go, God

It's raining, his mother is getting married, and there are some things he can't stop. Although the current Li Shimin brothers already know his objection, they are not afraid. If Li Shimin informs the informant, it will not be good for him. At this time, the Li family

The two brothers can only be regarded as second-level generals in the army, and they are not really high-ranking generals in the army. There are only a few thousand people under his command, and leaving to deal with it will not have too much adverse impact on the Liaodong Army.

Although Liaodong City is very lively during the day, it is extremely quiet at night. Although the war is over, it has only just been pacified. Therefore, Chen Kefu imposed a curfew in the entire Liaodong, one every night

The curtain drum was sounded at three o'clock, and travel was prohibited: the morning bell was ringed at three o'clock on the fifth watch. Those who walk on the street on the second, third, and fourth watches will be given forty lashes: those who commit a night after the first watch and shortly before the fifth watch is opened, will be given thirty lashes.

Only sickness, childbirth, death and bereavement can pass.

As soon as the whole mountain city arrives at night, the city gates must be locked and it is forbidden to enter and leave the city gates. The key to the city gate must also be handed over to the garrison army, and even if the army in the city leaves the city, it must also be ordered by the superiors.

In the darkness of the night, the streets were dark and silent, except for the occasional group of gendarmes patrolling the city with torches. At this time, whoever they found walking in the city, as long as they did not have a warrant, they had to be beaten and imprisoned for the night.

At this time, the West Market has long been free of half the noise of the day, and all the shops are on the door panels, and it is very quiet. In the middle of the night, a group of people dressed in black sè tights secretly walked next to the wall on the streets of the West Market.

"My lord, you said that we are like this, will Zamuan blame us if he finds out?" One of the samurai had a hesitant look under the black cloth that covered his face.

"Don't worry, as long as we get that knife back, the young patriarch of Zamuhe will definitely not blame us...... Luo, these rude Central Plains people, we took so much gold in exchange for a knife for him, he lived

But he refused to change. It's just a broken knife, and you must know that so much gold can be exchanged for a thousand cows. What's even worse is that he almost pinched off my hand, and he wants him to look good in a while. "The other leader of the samurai hated

Road.

This group of people is the Murwei people who can't buy knives during the day, and after returning to the inn today, the more they think about it, the more angry they are. Especially at the instigation of this samurai who was almost pinched off by Yu Chiren during the day, more than a dozen samurai took advantage of the night to secretly run to the West Market, intending to buy a secret thief.

In the middle of the night, he escaped several military police patrols and successfully came to the knife shop in the West City. It didn't take much effort for this group of Murowei warriors to successfully enter the knife shop. In the darkness, several people lit a fire fold, and in the faint light of the fire, they found the black and faint Mo knife at a glance.

Seeing that he had successfully stolen the knife, a Murowei warrior whispered, "I have the knife, let's go." ”

Everyone retreated outside the store, and the samurai led by him walked to the door of the store and was about to blow out the fire fold in his hand, when suddenly he became angry, the corners of his mouth twisted a few times, and the fire fold in his hand crossed an arc and threw it into a curtain in the store. The curtain was soon lit and the flames were blazing.

When the other Murowei warriors saw it, they were all stunned for a moment, and they exclaimed to the samurai led by the leader, "You don't want to die, didn't you say that you just came to get a sword?" ”

"The shopkeeper humiliated me in public today, and almost cut off my hand. The men on the grassland will take revenge. And if we only have a knife, we will surely let the shop find out tomorrow, and we might as well put another fire on it now. When the time comes, we will only think that it is a fire, and no one will know that we have a knife.

Let's go, the firelight will be together, and someone will come in a while. ”

The curtains were already burning, and there was a lot of smoke scattered throughout the shop in the blazing firelight.

As soon as those people walked out of the store, they heard a shout behind them, "Arsonist thief, leave!" ”！。
