Adjutant Long said: "The eldest lady didn't know, Yin Shouji took a telegram to apologize to the marshal, saying that the previous disasters were all wars provoked by Commander Qian of Wangkang. Yoon Shou-gi has put him on the spot and hopes that the two armies can continue to maintain the previous peaceful situation. ”

"How can such a thing happen?"

"Jing'er, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Chengjing thought for a while, and then said: "We don't know if Yin Shouji killed Commander Qian or not, even if he did, it must be because Commander Qian did not capture Gaoyang." He made a false phone call to apologize, but it was only for the sake of the later plan, first, to paralyze our army, and second, to buy enough time. ”

Adjutant Long said: "The eldest lady is really smart, she can guess it thoroughly, and the eldest marshal thinks the same way." ”

Li Qiyu was angry again, "If you want to fight, you can fight, if you want to make peace, Yin Shouji didn't take me in his eyes at all, I will ask him to pay the price sooner or later." ”

Adjutant Long persuaded: "The big handsome man is angry, Yin Shouji is suddenly warlike and capricious, it is really a villain's behavior, but... However, our army's salary and grass are not as good as Yin's army, and now we can only protect ourselves. ”

Li Qiyu said again: "Yin Shouji just saw that we only had the power to parry and had no capital to fight back, so he was ashamed to send me a fake telegram. Recuperate, wait until the food is sufficient, in the absence of war, it will take at least two years, how can that old fox give us two years to breathe, I guess that in less than three months, Yin Jun will have a greater action. ”

Adjutant Long said, "Miss, please forgive me, this matter can only be solved by you." Our two major families in South China, the boss's daughter and Boss Zou's children are friends of life and death with you, only you can say that they will fund our Li family's army, as long as we have military salaries, we no longer need to have scruples. ”

Li Chengjing was silent, and Adjutant Long continued: "Yin Shouji is brutal and unkind, and he treats the people under his rule like a mustard, our handsome man is a hundred times more benevolent and righteous than him, and even the refugees who fled from the hinterland of the Yin army are properly settled. ”

After a while, Li Chengjing said: "Dad, two months, no more than two months at most, I will definitely raise military salaries for the three armies." ”

After Li Chengjing came out of the study, she told Yin Shouji about the apology, how could Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling not guess his intentions, and the two were also indignant.

Li Chengjing paused, and told the whole story of their conversation in the study without concealment. "Baoyi, Yu Gong, our Li family and the people of South China can be said to be dependent on each other, in private, we are close friends, I don't know if you are willing to be righteous to your father, persuade your father, and call on South China businessmen to help our Li family?"

Zou Bao'er told Zou Baoyi everything he saw and heard in Ningzhou, and also said: "Brother, you go back and persuade Dad, I'm also worried that if Li Dashuai is really defeated by Yin Jun, how Yin Jun will treat us at that time, let's go back to see my father together and analyze the powerful relationship." ”

Zou Baoyi waited for a while before he said, "Chengjing, I can help you, but I just do my best, I am not completely sure." ”

Li Chengjing said: "You did your best, I am already grateful, how dare I ask for something, even if your father still refuses in the end, I will still thank you for your help." ”

Zou Baoyi said: "Okay, then Bao'er and I will leave for Guicheng in the next two days, no matter what the result is, I will give you news in two months." ”

Two days later, in the afternoon, Li Chengjing sent Che Haosheng to send their brother and sister back to Guicheng. Before leaving, Li Chengjing asked Zou Baoer to come to Ningzhou early after going home to report her safety, and told her that the car would stay in Guicheng and wait to pick her up.

Zou Bao'er's face was hot, she walked to Duan Shaoling's side, said a few goodbyes to him, and hurriedly got into the car.

Seeing off their brother and sister, Li Chengjing asked the three of them to accompany her to the balcony, "Shaoling, please accompany Shen Hong to the army tomorrow to report on work, because from tomorrow, Chen Zui will accompany me to Liucheng." ”

"Looking for Chu Xian?"

Li Chengjing nodded and said, "Shaoling, do you remember what you asked me about the night I quarreled with Chu Xian?" Time is running out, I can't put all my hopes on Baoyi, I have to make two preparations, on behalf of our Li family, and go to talk to the boss in a dignified manner. If you want to see the boss, you have to use the bridge of Chu Xian. ”

Shen Hong sighed: "Why do you all have to leave as soon as I come." ”

Li Chengjing said: "Isn't there still Shaoling with you?" You are well familiar with military affairs in the army, the big war is coming, and when the time comes, we will go to the battlefield together to kill the enemy. ”

Another day, in the afternoon, after Chen and Li bid farewell to Li Qiyu, they set off for Liucheng together. When they arrived in Liucheng, it was getting late, so they found a hotel, 'Fengyuan Hotel', and asked for two adjacent rooms to stay first.

After settling down, the two went to the streets together to forage for food. Liucheng is a relatively quaint city, with old and bustling streets, and at night, there are many roadside stalls. The two of them randomly chose a restaurant and sat down, ordered two small stir-fries, and heard the sound of those men drinking and punching in their ears, and Chen Zui was a little itchy after listening to it for a long time.

After serving the food, Chen Zui asked her how she wanted to talk, Li Chengjing pondered for a while, only said that she didn't have a clue, she had already written down the phone number of the Kuang family, and waited for Leng Chuxian to come out tomorrow.

The two of them had dinner, then walked around the street and went back to the hotel to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Chengjing called Kuang's house to ask Leng Chuxian to come out to meet. Leng Chuxian was very surprised when he heard that she had arrived in Liucheng, listening to her tone, it seemed that there was something very important to discuss with him, and the two met in a tea shop not far from Fengyuan Hotel after an appointment, and on the phone, Li Chengjing did not tell her that Chen Zui also came to Liucheng together.

Chen Zui and Li Chengjing arrived at the tea shop one step earlier, they sat by the window on the second floor, sat for a while, and saw Leng Chuxian take a rickshaw to the door.

Leng Chuxian didn't dress up well when she was in school, even if she went out on Sunday, she would only wear a natural and simple long skirt. Today she wears a small dress, with a long skirt at the bottom, a light button-down dress on the top, and a chic tassel earring on each ear.

Li Chengjing sighed softly, "This is what the ancients often said about the country and the city, Chen Zui, I envy such a beautiful appearance, I am far inferior to her, isn't it?" ”

Chen Zui shook his head with a smile, and was about to speak, when Leng Chuxian went up to the second floor under the leadership of his buddy. Sure enough, she was also taken aback when she saw Chen Zui, "Chen Zui, it turns out that you are here too, why didn't Cheng Jing mention it on the phone?" ”

Li Chengjing said; "It's only an hour, and it doesn't matter if I say it or not."

Leng Chuxian sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

"Chu Xian, I came to Liucheng to look for you this time, it's really... It's really a last resort. ”

Leng Chuxian said: "I listened to your tone on the phone, I know that you are in a difficult situation, you say, I can help, will I refuse you." ”

Li Chengjing glanced at the two of them separately and told her everything, hoping that Leng Chuxian would invite her father for her, and she would talk to the boss about the funds in person.

After Li Chengjing finished speaking, Leng Chuxian's face was so embarrassed that she didn't even say a word.

Li Chengjing begged for permission and said: "Chu Xian, I have told you all about this cause and effect, I hope you will help you in public and private." As long as you ask your father out, it's up to me whether you succeed or not. ”

Leng Chuxian said: "Chengjing, I can help you make an appointment with my father, but the chances of my father agreeing to you are very small." ”

Leng Chuxian continued to analyze, "My father has long made his position clear and will not get involved in the struggle between warlords, to be honest, when my father occasionally talks about the situation, he is more derogatory than praising the current major warlords. In addition, the family business, my father is gradually transitioning to my brother's hands, because of Bao'er's affairs, he has a problem with your Li family and you in his heart, and he will not agree to help you. ”

Li Chengjing also knows that the opportunity is slim, "It doesn't matter, it's better to not be able to do it with all your efforts, than not to try."

Leng Chuxian said: "You wait for my news, and when I tell my father, I will arrange for you to meet and talk." ”

"Thank you, Chu Xian."

"You probably haven't been to Liucheng before, it's a guest, how about I'll take you for a walk?"

Chen Zui said: "Chengjing, then Chu Xian will accompany you to go shopping, and I will go back to the hotel first." ”

Leng Chuxian said: "Together, by the way, I'll do the east at noon." ”

Chen Zui smiled: "Then you come back and call me when you eat, and I won't participate in you two girls shopping." ”

"In that case, you should go back to the hotel first......"

Chen Zui went downstairs and walked back in the direction of the hotel, halfway through and didn't want to go back to face the cold room, he simply walked around alone, he didn't know anything about Liucheng, just wandered aimlessly. Li Chengjing and the others will come back and ask him to go to dinner in a while, so they can't go too far.

He remembered that the location of the hotel was at No. 18 Poly 2nd Road, and if he couldn't remember the road after walking around for a while, he would call a tricycle back. After walking around for two laps, there are street shops, which are boring, and ask others where there are famous places or special places in the city that are worth visiting.

Some passers-by told him that there were places of interest, but they were far away from the city, and those were suitable for companionship, and it was boring for him to go alone. It just so happened that there was a temple fair in the Guanyin Temple in the city today, anyway, he was alone, and suggested that he might as well go there, and passers-by also pointed out the way for him in detail.

Chen Zui followed the route indicated by passers-by and went to take a look. After walking for half an hour, in front of the Guanyin Temple, I couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture, only a hall stood up in the middle, and Chen Zui had never seen such a spacious and magnificent temple. Both sides of the gate are covered with red colors, and the road leading to the temple is crowded.

A car whistle crossed, and a white car stopped, it was Buick. Remembering that Leng Chuxian also has one at home, it seems that the owner of this car is also a rich person.
