"Why is the Marquis so optimistic? You must know that what you and I are facing now is not just a dry silverfish in the Nanjing officialdom, but those outlaws who have embezzled the millions of dollars in the Ming Dynasty, and the current power of this matter is not that you hit the board of the sergeants under the command of Wei Guogong and made them lose face. Sun Jie's expression became sharply excited when he said this, and his voice also increased, "You and I came to Zhejiang and Zhizhi provinces this time, just to take these imperial court funds out of their mouths, this is not the same as taking food from the tiger's mouth, how can they sit still and wait for death, if Sun Ji is not bad, they will definitely put you and me to death and then quickly." ”

Sun Jie's tone was not only confused about the bleak future, but also more or less pessimistic, which was similar to the second son of the Sun family, who had always been gentle and lenient before.

"Look at me..."Sun Jian spread his hands, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "He Zeng didn't come with high spirits and strong hearts. But he hit his nose and didn't say anything, and even he was in danger...... "Li Xin knew that Sun Ji was referring to the emperor's edict of reprimand, but he had a different opinion, although the emperor was dissatisfied with Sun Ji's disadvantage, he had no intention of punishing him, otherwise he would not be under the strong pressure of the ministers, and the thunder and rain were small, and he only reprimanded the matter.

Li Xin also knows their current situation, but he may not have reached this pessimistic and desperate situation, after all, he has not fought with him before he has lost his momentum, how can this be his temperament? So, he considered comforting Sun Jiao, "Why is the ministry so pessimistic? Now that Li Xin and Zhang Xulao are both going south, our troika is better than fighting alone before, right? ”

Sun Ji sighed, "It's not easy to talk about, so far, I only have the feeling of being led by the nose, and I have the feeling that I don't know where to start, otherwise why would I fall into such a wolf situation now." Sun Jiao's death is not a pity, but he failed the grace of God and mistook the court, but he did not die blindly..."

Speaking of this, Li Xin suddenly found that Sun Jiao's worried eyes were already flashing with a glimmer of light, and then the burning tears of Dou Da actually rolled down. Looking closely at this well-maintained face, there are many more ravines of different shades between the cheeks and corners of the eyes than before going south, and there are also gray hairs between the temples.

Li Xin couldn't help but be shocked, he had always thought that Sun Ji was a gentle, open-minded and beautiful son, but he never thought that under the seemingly gentle surface of this person was a hot heart. Sun Chengzong has always hidden him in Gaoyang's house and not allowed him to set foot in officialdom, whether it is a waste of his child's will, or a deliberate protection to avoid him from the attack of the flies and dogs of the imperial court, these are stirred up in Li Xin's mind.

Suddenly, Sun Ji's gaze became firm again, and his tone was resolute.

"It's a big deal to die, and I can't let these ghosts fulfill their wishes, Brother Li is willing to fight side by side with me?"

Although he was a few feet away from Sun Jiao, Li Xin could still feel the heat in his earnest gaze, which was what it should be, but he was infected by this scorching gaze, and for a while his heart was churning, and his voice trembled slightly: "The ministry has a fate, Li Xin dares not to obey his fate..."

The two of them quickly entered the state, and Li Xin analyzed the current situation.

"Wei Guogong may not be deeply involved, this person has been idle for more than ten years on the grounds of recuperation, and was reactivated from the town of Nanjing last year. When the time is still short, it may not be the core figure, maybe there is collusion, but it is by no means the main opponent of you and me, if it is directly regarded as an opponent's fierce rival, there is inevitably the possibility of pushing the characters that can be won into the hands of the enemy, so I think that for Wei Guogong, it is better to be motionless than quiet, and after judging his position, he may take the initiative to woo..."

Sun Ji remained silent, nodding his head, obviously agreeing with Li Xin's statement, but still expressing his concern.

"It is reported that Wei Guogong sent an 800-mile express to Jingshi a few days ago, and I guess that seven or eight out of ten are to impeach you, if you are used by people with ulterior motives in the court, I am afraid that the trouble will not be small... Alas, when will Brother Li's reckless temperament be reined in, Fengyang's affairs will not be so light. Sun Jie's eyes dimmed again, "I just hope that the ministers in the court will not use this matter to make waves..."

On the contrary, Li Xin was more relieved about these things, and it was useless to think about them too much, so it was better to look farther away. It is true that he and the Three Guards are like sailing against the current at the moment, and if they do not advance, they will retreat, but as long as they take this step, the front may not be very good. Sometimes even he wonders when he has become so optimistic and calm, and many big things can't delay the snoring at night.

Speaking of Sun Jiao, although he has a commendable ambition, he acts quite lawlessly, which is also one of the main reasons why he returned with a feather. In this regard, Li Xinhao did not hide his criticism of him.

"They seem to be monolithic, not necessarily without a weakness to follow, as long as they grasp a little loophole in these thousands of threads, they can use this as a breakthrough, peel off the cocoon, dig layer by layer, and let them taste the bitterness..."

"What Brother Li said is very true, but under the intertwined roots, it is not easy to say this..."

Obviously, Sun Jian thought that Li Xin's words were a bit hollow. Li Xin smiled mysteriously, "The ministry forgot, now there is a great opportunity falling from the sky, why not take this opportunity to go deep and muddy the water first..."

Sun Ji's eyes lit up, and he asked with some excitement: "But the Chen family brothers?" ”

Li Xin nodded happily, "It's them, I think behind these two people must be inextricably linked to the Jiangnan corruption case, why don't we take this opportunity to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger first?" ”

Hearing Li Xin say this, Sun Jian was greatly excited, rubbed his hands together, stood up at the same time, and paced hurriedly in the room. Suddenly, he turned his head to look directly at Li Xin, and said, "I heard that Brother Li and Zhang Ge Lao have some misunderstandings, and now is the key moment, let's not mess up our own first..."

Li Xin smiled, he knew that Sun Jiao was naturally only after Fengyang, and the two sides were in trouble because of the transfer of troops, but this matter was Zhang Fangyan's trouble, he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he wanted to blackmail himself like he did with the officials and troops of the three towns in Jiangbei. Although the Three Guards are nominally promoted, they actually retain a great deal of autonomy, which has been the case since the Three Guards became an army, and he never wants this tiger and wolf division to become anyone's minions and pawns, Zhang Fangyan can't do it, and Sun Chengzong can't do it......

Sun Ji didn't wait for Li Xin to answer before he smiled indifferently, "Brother Li doesn't have to worry, although Zhang Ge Lao is a little more thoughtful, but after all, he is a person who takes care of the overall situation, as I expected, I am afraid that his envoy for peace is about to arrive in Longtan." ”

Li Xin was stunned, and in the implicit meaning of Sun Jiao's words, Zhang Fangyan would take the initiative to show favor in order to release his previous suspicions. In his impression, few civil officials would be so bent and handed over, which is really a bit unbelievable.

"Elder Zhang Ge is indeed several times stronger than me, and I am the governor of Nan Zhili as the squire of the military department, but I can't do anything about these soldiers, and it is difficult to promote them. Zhang Ge has the effect of returning to heaven in two clicks, which is really admirable......"

Having said so much, Sun Jiao's meaning gradually became clear, the three of them could not have trouble with each other, in fact, this was also a kind of persuasion to Li Xin, hoping that he would not ask for common ground while reserving differences, put common interests first, and not let the anger spoil the overall situation.

Li Xin didn't argue with it, how could he be such a rat-bellied person, if it was really beneficial to the overall situation, even if he turned around like that Fang Yan? In this chaotic situation in the south of the Yangtze River, one more ally is definitely much stronger than one more potential enemy.

As Sun Jiao expected, a personal soldier came early the next morning to report, "Wu Zhen, the prefect of Yangzhou, came to visit the general with the order of Zhang Gelao..."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows, Wu Zhen, the prefect of Yangzhou? He had never heard of this person before, could it be that Zhang Fangyan could entrust this Yangzhou prefect with confidential matters? With this suspicion, he met this person in the Chinese army where the Three Guards were stationed.

As soon as Wu Zhen met, he shook his head, but he also had a somewhat humble and arrogant posture.

"The prefect of Yangzhou has seen the marquis of Zhenyu, at this time, Zhang Ge Lao's handwritten letter, please take a look..."Wu Zhen handed over a fire paint official document with both hands, and a personal soldier hurriedly stepped forward to take it and forward it to Li Xin. Li Xin opened the official document and sealed it, and asked with a pleasant face: "Is Zhang Ge's old health well?" I was occasionally slightly ill a while ago. ”

Wu Zhen replied respectfully: "It's already very good, I believe that we will be able to meet with the Marquis of Zhenyu in Nanjing soon..."

Li Xin waved his hand, "I don't plan to go to Nanjing so soon, there are still things to do here, and I have to break off before I can go to Beijing calmly..."
