Outside Chang'an City, on the Guangyuntan Wharf, a sailboat slowly docked.

This sailboat is a new fast boat made by Wuzhi Shipyard, which is not more than five zhang long, and has a dual-purpose sail and oar, because the hull is short, it can pass freely in the Yellow River and even Weishui, and the hull is light, and when passing through some dangerous shoals that are not suitable for navigation, it can be pulled by manpower. After those two sea boats, Ye Chang began to concentrate on building such a small boat, in order to facilitate the passage of the Yellow River. As for the bigger ships, he was going to build them again in Lushun.

"It's not good." Looking at the people and horses at the dock, Ye Chang smiled bitterly and said to the yellow shirt.

When he came back this time, Nan Jiyun didn't dare to take it, so he had to stay in the capital to defend Lushun, so he met with the yellow-shirted guests who stayed there in Luoyang. The yellow-shirted guest was responsible for hiring people who were willing to go to sea in Luoyang, and he also inquired about the news of Chang'an, so Ye Chang now also understands why Li Longji called him back to Chang'an in a good manner.

Or the trouble caused by his poem, because of the poems of the three generations and the princesses, the two princesses and the pro-Khitan and Xi affairs, the court was also forced to stop mentioning it, but this matter made Li Longji very angry, and this time he was called back to Chang'an, nine times out of ten it was for this matter.

When Ye Chang heard the news, he was a little annoyed in his heart, he was really shot while lying down, Li Longji didn't take his granddaughter seriously, he wanted to send it to those barbarians who were covered in a fishy smell and slept in white arches, and at the end of the rebellion, he had to kill the sacrificial flag, why did he have to be scolded like this?

If it weren't for the fact that he still had to obtain manpower and materials from Dengzhou and the Central Plains, he really wanted to turn around and leave, go back to Lushun and go freely, without looking at Li Longji's face.

"Don't worry too much, the Son of Heaven will be angry again, and he won't really do anything to you, but I heard that he is very concerned about you going to the East China Sea to seek immortals, after all...... The Son of Heaven is getting old. ”

Ye Chang nodded, put aside the depression in his heart, and stepped onto the dock.

Like Guangyuntan such a place for boat and car transfer, its own carriage company set up a station here, after Ye Chang and the yellow shirt got on the car, a group of more than 20 people headed for Chang'an City. When he walked halfway, he heard a mess behind him, and then a guard of honor swaggered over, according to the etiquette, they had to wait for each other to pass by, Ye Chang stretched out his head in the carriage and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He just stretched out his head and shrank back, because he knew one of the leading figures in the guard of honor

Liu Luogu.

This guy leads the way, and the guard of honor belongs, which should be An Lushan in the two towns now.

He retracted because he didn't want Liu Luogu to see it, but he never thought that Liu Luogu's sharp eyes would see him at a glance, and he turned his horse to An Lushan and whispered a few words before riding, and An Lushan nodded slightly.

Liu Luogu urged the horse over and said loudly: "But Jili Prefecture Ye joined the army here?" Dr. Ann will come forward to meet you."

Ye Chang scolded secretly, this guy was sharp-eyed, but he could only reluctantly get out of the carriage and walk to An Lushan.

This is the second time the two have met, and when they met in Xiuwu last time, if it weren't for the insect girl, An Lushan would definitely send someone to attack and kill Ye Chang. However, Liu Luogu's gift temporarily exposed the grievances between the two sides, so on the surface, An Lushan was not as aggressive as last time.

On the contrary, with a smile.

"Ye joined the army to serve in Liaodong, why don't you go to meet me?" An Lushan said softly.

"Although there is a position of joining the army in Jili Prefecture, it is actually set up by the saint to facilitate a certain act, and it is not a regular position, so naturally I dare not go to see the doctor." Ye Chang also smiled: "Doctor Huwei, after a certain arrived in Liaodong, it was even more thunderous. ”

An Lushan Ha Lu Ha smiled, and nodded to Ye Chang affectionately: "Ye joins the army, if you need help from An Mou, just speak, by the way, your side is mixed, I'm afraid it's a little unstable, I'll send you five hundred elite soldiers to guard, even if you Xiangping guards and captures the military horses under your jurisdiction, how about it?" ”

This is to install people and horses under Ye Chang, if it is really sent to him, the situation of the host and guest will be immediately easy, and there are few eyes and ears of An Lushan, and the news of Lushun will be transmitted to An Lushan. Ye Chang smiled and said: "The doctor is willing to lend a hand, Ye is grateful, and after he goes back, he will set up a camp and set up a base, just waiting for the strong soldiers sent by the doctor."

He didn't refuse, An Lushan nodded with satisfaction, and felt a little worthless in his heart.

"You are not in Liaodong at this time, why did you go back to Chang'an?" An Lushan asked again.

This is a knowingly question, but Ye Chang didn't know what to do, so he replied: "Your Majesty sent an envoy to summon me back to Beijing, and I don't know what the matter is." ”

"Good life to do, good life to do, Ha Lu Ha ......"

An Lushan smiled away, Ye Chang looked at his back, and the smile on his face gradually stopped.

This beard is treacherous.

Now in Chang'an, Ye Chang no longer has Xiangxuehai to settle down, but he bought a house on the edge of the house of Sun Simiao, the original Sisun Simiao in Guangdefang, Chang'an, although it is not big, there is no problem to live in thirty or fifty people. After arriving here, Ye Chang first went to Yuzhen Temple, and showed Li Longji through the eldest princess Yuzhen that he had returned to Chang'an.

The next thing is to go back to the residence and wait for the news, and after waiting for two days, Li Longji has not sent someone to summon him to meet, but Li Linfu has sent someone.

"Li Xianggong said to see me at his mansion this afternoon?" Ye Chang was a little surprised: "Let me go earlier?" ”

The one who came to invite Ye Chang was Li Fei, an old servant of the Li family, who had dealt with Ye Chang more than once, so his attitude was very humble: "Yes, Xianggong ordered him like this." ”

Ye Chang twisted the few short whiskers he had grown, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll go over after lunch." ”

Li Linfu's lunch was very extravagant, although Li Linfu didn't make any chicken tongue banquet or anything like that, but it was also full of delicacies, and the cost of a meal was dozens of times.

Li Tengkong has her own small kitchen, she eats very lightly, and after lunch, she begins to think about what to do this afternoon. At this moment, I heard Li Fei's voice coming: "Seven Niangzi, Seven Niangzi"

"What's the matter with Uncle Fat?"

"There is a guest visiting today, and the husband invites the seventh lady to accompany him."

Li Tengkong didn't care at first, the Tang Dynasty was open, and guests often came to the door with their wives and little daughters, and every time they encountered such a situation, the host's family would arrange the same female relatives to receive them.

"Whose lady is it?" She asked softly.

Li Fei did not hesitate: "This minister did not instruct the old slave. ”

It was not that he did not give orders, but it was not that he did not know the way, Li Tengkong heard the meaning, but he did not think deeply. Her father's concealment always makes sense, and if she has to explore it, it is not beautiful.

"If that's the case, then let's invite her to meet in the back garden." Li Tengkong said.

She led the maid to the back garden, the Li family's mansion is very large, and the rockery pavilions and trees in the back garden are a good place for the female dependents to play. Li Tengkong didn't wait long before he heard the sound of footsteps, but the footsteps were different from the woman's lightness, calm and powerful, and somewhat like the voice of a young man.

Li Tengkong was stunned, and saw Ye Chang walking in slowly.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Ye Chang has darkened a little, and his beard has grown slightly, making his face look more sophisticated and mature. When he appeared here, Li Tengkong was stunned and a little surprised, and immediately felt embarrassed.

Her life's major event has always been a problem in the family, Li Linfu has many children, the legend is that there are fifty sons and fifty daughters, but the real famous one is seven daughters and seven sons, Li Tengkong is the youngest among them, and he is also the most favored by Li Linfu. Li Linfu has always been worried that Li Tengkong will really escape into the Dao Sect and never marry, and now it seems that he can't even wait to sell his daughter to the young man Junyan who he can see.

Could it be that he is so bad and worried about marrying...... She is not the emperor's daughter

Realizing that Li Tengkong was in the sky, Ye Chang was also shocked and stopped. trespassing in the backyard and disturbing other people's daughters is a big mistake. He looked back and found that Li Fei, who had brought him in, had left quietly and silently, and at this time, Ye Chang's first thought was to "enter the White Tiger Hall by mistake".

Immediately, he understood that even if Li Linfu wanted to frame him, he didn't need to lose his daughter's reputation

"Ye Chang has seen Mrs. Li." He bowed his hand: "It's been a long time"

"Do you really think it's been a long time?" Li Teng blanked his eyes and said.

"Hmm...... Speaking of which, I also brought gifts to Mrs. Li today. Li Tengkong's small temperament did not make Ye Chang angry, but felt that this girl who had always been cold-hearted and warm-hearted became lively and lively, so he smiled: "I just didn't expect to meet Mrs. Li here, so I handed it over to the housekeeper of your mansion." ”

"What gift?" Li Tengkong was a little curious.

"If you don't say it, there will be no surprise when you say it."

"Don't think that I'm like the twenty-nine nobles, and I will rejoice when I receive the clothes you have given me, and I am very picky."

"Hehe, the insect girl is still young, so it's good to have new clothes, but it's not easy to deal with this year, and when I saw her the day before yesterday, I was blamed several times."

Li Tengkong is also quite familiar with the insect girl, and even knows what gift Ye Chang gave to the insect girl. As Ye Chang said, as the insect girl grows older, she gradually becomes unhappy with clothes and toys, and now she is most interested in Ye Chang's experience at sea.

Li Tengkong was also interested, as well as the customs and customs of Liaodong, and the two talked in the back garden, pretending not to know the intention of Li Linfu's arrangement.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the two talked quite speculatively, Li Tengkong smiled lightly and lowered his eyebrows, wishing that this time could be as long as possible. But at this moment, she heard the sound of coughing outside, and Li Tengkong suddenly realized that she and Ye Chang seemed to be too close, so she took a few steps back and sat in the pavilion

Li Fei's voice came in again: "Where is Ye Langjun, where is Ye Langjun?" ”

"So-and-so."

"Xianggong asked Ye Langjun to go out to meet the guests."

said this, as if Ye Chang himself was not a guest. Ye Chang muttered secretly in his heart, did Li Linfu really want to match him and Li Tengkong?

Based on Ye Chang's understanding of Li Linfu, Li Linfu took one step and thought three steps, and he definitely didn't have any good intentions. is to match him and Li Tengkong, but I am afraid that there are other wishful thinking behind it.

Saying goodbye to Li Tengkong, Li Tengkong rarely showed reluctance, but it was also a flash, and he lowered his head to send him out. Following Li Fei, Ye Chang arrived at the Moon Hall, where Li Linfu met the guests.

"Changran, there are guests coming outside, you go to greet me for me." Li Linfu called Ye Chang's words and instructed him unceremoniously.

Ye Chang's face was embarrassed: "Li Xianggong, the guest is here to visit you, I'll go to greet ......"

"You can't go and greet you in person." Li Linfu smiled: "The old man and Changran are very compatible, the old man is old, and he treats you as a nephew, so that you welcome the old man - what, I feel that the old man is not worthy."

Ye Chang couldn't help but secretly glance at it, you old guy is a nephew, I treat your whole family as a nephew.

But Li Linfu said that he couldn't turn his face in person, and it was not his style to take advantage of it, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, if there is any trouble in the future, I will have to ask Li Xianggong, an elder, for help." ”

"If it weren't for the old man, with all the troubles you tossed out, even the impeachment of the official, you would have cut off your head dozens of times, where would you still be allowed to go to Liaodong to have a good time" Li Linfu shouted: "Duh, go out to greet you, this person is good for you"

Ye Chang was driven out of the city by him to greet the guests, and when he arrived at the door, he asked who the housekeeper guest who came with him was, and the housekeeper smiled: "Lang Jun just wait, and you will be able to see him soon." ”

Sure enough, after a while, I heard someone from the porter come to pay respects: "The two towns of Yushi Dafu and Fanyang Lulong have made An Lushan come to pay homage to the prime minister."

Ye Chang's heart was suddenly awe-inspiring: The person who came to see Li Linfu turned out to be this person

His mind was racing, what was Li Linfu's intention in arranging him to greet An Lushan. On the surface, it is indeed beneficial for him to come to greet him, he is acting in Liaodong, if he can get the full support of An Lushan, it can be said that he has no worries and will get twice the result with half the effort. But where did Li Linfu come from to be so kind and think about him?

Is it really just to match his Li Tengkong?

If this is the case, it is absolutely impossible for Li Linfu to sit in the phase for more than ten years without falling. At this point in him, it is not that family affection is absolutely not considered, but family affection is absolutely secondary, and the first thing he considers is how to consolidate his position of power.

Anyway, it seems like a ...... opportunity

Ye Chang didn't have the luxury of really getting An Lushan's full support, but if he could take advantage of Li Linfu's momentum to suppress An Lushan for a year or two, wait for himself to really gain a firm foothold...... If so, it would be great.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

An Lushan waited impatiently in front of Li Linfu's door, he has been in Chang'an City for the past two days, he is the most popular figure, Li Longji treats him with extra favor, and even Yang Yuhuan in the palace is interested in him. His official position also has the title of "Imperial History", although it is not a real award, but it also means that he has entered the court, and others can no longer use him as a side general.

For Li Linfu, he didn't look at it very much, and felt that this was just a kind old man with no skills. I came to visit today purely out of courtesy, I just got promoted to an official position, and I have to come to Li Linfu to take a look around

The main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly opened, and An Lushan waved his horsewhip, and was about to move, but he was stunned.

The one who appeared in the Xiangfu Gate turned out to be Ye Chang
