Chapter 211: Outsiders
It's quite nice to say, but when the time comes to cross the river and tear down the bridge, I regret it faster than anything else. The two don't know how they worked together.
"The Iron Leader had better be the talker!" Master Li snorted, obviously a little irritated and uncontrollable, but at the moment, it was just the end of the crossbow, and he forcibly suppressed a little bit.
In the end, the two broke up unhappily, and Tiexi came over from afar, just to quarrel with Lord Li, and the things they talked about were probably thought about by the roommates before they came, but because of this quarrel, they each had other thoughts, so they secretly put each other together, and refused to trust them wholeheartedly.
From the conversation between the two, the most useful news that Chu Jingyan heard was probably the fact that Hu Ping, the former commander of the border army, was actually involved. Hu Ping has now risen to two ranks, although the original border army under his hands has been handed over to Murong Han, and after two years, it is even more difficult to talk about the old feelings.
But his current momentum is much stronger than when he was the leader of the border army, and the soldiers and horses in his hands have also changed from more than 100,000 border troops to nearly 200,000 inland troops, which is enough to be on par with General Murong! The only advantage that the Murong family has now is more than Hu Ping, probably a double general, and if it really fights, it has to rely on the batch of border troops in Murong Han's hands that have not yet been rectified to turn defeat into victory!
Otherwise, with the current strength of General Murong, there is no way to fight against Hu Ping at all, and at most both sides will lose! Hu Ping is in the prime of life, and he has been the commander of the border army for so many years, and he has long been familiar with combat training, which is not comparable to Murong Han.
It is true that the Murong family is a double general, but one is too old, the other is too young, and he doesn't look at the superficial kung fu or the number of soldiers and horses, Hu Ping is superior to the Murong family. On the emperor's side, there is no objection to the expansion of Hu Ping's forces, and I am afraid that he also intends to check and balance the Murong family! It's a pity that the wrong person was used!
After Tie Xi left, Master Li walked around the house and called a few more henchmen.
"Your Excellency."
"Did you find Childe?" Master Li's hand slammed on the table, the table swayed, the bottles and cans were turbulent, and Chu Jingyan under the table was also affected.
The henchman was full of regret and said, "I haven't found it yet." The last time Childe appeared was in the courtyard of the Liu girl, and some people said that since Childe entered the courtyard, he didn't come out again. Just based on the other party's words, the adult believes that Liu Qingqing really hasn't done anything, is he innocent? ”
Master Li stood with his hands in his hands, his face was heavy, and said: "I shouldn't have listened to Liu Qingqing's words, but she is a weak woman, how did she unknowingly destroy Li Rong, a big living person?" I ask you, can you do this? ”
The henchman shook his head, indicating that he was incompetent, but he still insisted: "But don't you think that my lord, this Liu Qingqing is not a weak woman?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Master Li frowned.
The henchman said: "I have been to Xiliang to investigate, and I found that those soldiers in Xiliang border city have been wanted by a girl, and that girl looks exactly like Miss Liu, who came to the adult's house. ”
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Chu Jingyan's forehead under the table. It wasn't that he hadn't thought that this kind of thing would happen, but with Leng Lan by Chu Jiayin's side, there shouldn't be many problems and worries. He also felt that with the intelligence and brains of those two people, he would be able to find out a little bit in about three or five days.
Who knew that this Master Li was really well hidden, and the fortification was not shallow, Chu Jiayin and Leng Lan had been busy for several days, and they didn't find anything useful. The only thing that did something beneficial to his side was to tie Li Rong back to the barracks.
Master Li clenched his fist slightly and sneered: "That's okay!" It's better to keep this girl than Rong'er really marrying a girl from the Liu family. It's not that I don't know the virtues of my son, and if I want him to marry an eyesore and come back, I'm afraid it's going to turn the world upside down. Besides, doesn't this lady like that fake Liu Qingqing very much? My agreement with the Liu family is just lip service, let people outside know that my Li family married Liu Qingqing, as for whether Liu Qingqing who married into my Li family's family is true or not, no one will investigate it carefully. ”
"That's what my lord said."
Master Li thought clearly, instead of marrying a girl that Li Rong had disliked for more than ten years, it was better to leave this barely passable and Mrs. still liked it. Anyway, the daughter-in-law who stayed at home was just to pass on the lineage, and sooner or later, Li Rong would have to stand on the united front with him. Therefore, Liu Qingqing, who stayed in the Li family, as long as the family looked comfortable.
"Presumably, my son has already seen through Liu Qingqing's identity." Master Li held a teacup, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "You say, could it be that Liu Qingqing got my son away because of this?" ”
"Perhaps, adults really don't want to check the identity of this fake Liu Qingqing?" The henchman asked.
Master Li closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I think I might know who she is." ”
"Huh?" The henchman was a little surprised.
Master Li said, "The sixth lady of the Chu family in the outer city of Kyoto! According to her age, it should be her! I went to the imperial city a few times ago to face the saint, and I happened to see the emperor's henchmen, the handsome boy named Chu Liangshan, who looked three or four points similar to the girl who came to my house. Isn't there a man named Chu Jingyan by Murong Han's side? That kid seems to have some relationship with the Chu family, and his friendship with the sixth lady doesn't seem to be shallow. ”
The answer to Miss Chu Jialiu pretending to be Liu Qingqing is obvious.
Chu Jingyan under the table held his breath, only feeling a little trembling. He originally thought that the opponent was not difficult, otherwise he would not have exposed so many horses for him and Murong Han to discover, who knew that he would accidentally expose all his plans to the enemy.
Maybe at the beginning, Lord Li didn't take them seriously and showed so many horses' feet, just to invite you into the urn and delay time. When the time comes, catch the turtle in the urn, Murong Han and Chu Jingyan, none of them can escape!
Without Murong Han's right-hand man, the Murong family will soon be depressed, and at that time, I am afraid that no one in the court will be able to compete with Hu Ping, who cooperated with Lord Li. South Vietnam is also in jeopardy.
The emperor was also old and confused, and the loyal Murong family had to be suspicious, and invited the real jackals, tigers and leopards.
When the people in the front hall finally left, Chu Jingyan took the opportunity to slip away and went all the way to find Chu Jiayin. Leng Lan has been in contact with the barracks in the past few days, where Chu Jiayin and her live, Chu Jingyan is very clear.
……
Leng Lan helped Chu Jiayin wash her clothes, and she had to find food for her to eat, and the food was served on the table, thinking of what kind of person Leng Lan was in the army, even the general didn't dare to provoke, Chu Jiayin felt guilty. She was afraid that Leng Lan, who had taken care of herself for a long time, would complain, so she killed herself if she was unhappy, and was busy telling her something nice.
"Sister Leng Lan, you are lucky, when we go back safely, I will also wash your clothes and cook for you." Chu Jiayin quickly picked up the chopsticks, even if her appetite was not very good, she suddenly stuffed a lot of rice into her mouth, and she couldn't waste the food that Sister Leng Lan had worked so hard to get.
If you don't know what to do, you'll be beaten!
Leng Lan's face was expressionless, obviously a gloomy face, but he wanted to pretend to be happy, and raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Hehe, no need, I should serve you." After all, Chu Jingyan's official is bigger than me. You are his person, I should naturally take good care of it, so as not to blame my boss! ”
"Sister Leng Lan, what nonsense are you talking about!" Although Chu Jiayin likes others to turn her into a pair with Chu Jingyan, but when she says this, it seems like a joke after all, after listening to it too much, she has some gains and losses, and she is uncomfortable!
"What nonsense am I talking about?" Leng Lan looked at Chu Jiayin with a look of "you are very hypocritical".
Not long after, there was a knock at the door. This sudden knock on the door was like a shadow that locked the soul in the middle of the night, and almost hooked Chu Jingyan's soul away.
Chu Jiayin's body stiffened suddenly, looked at the door in a daze, and then glanced at the window. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that the windows and doors were closed, and that the people outside couldn't see what the people inside were doing.
She motioned to Leng Lan to cooperate with her with her eyes, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, quickly climbed onto the bed, and then got into the quilt and covered the quilt.
What's going on, someone comes on weekdays, but isn't there someone outside? Why not today? I don't know if the guy outside heard the conversation between her and Sister Leng Lan, if she did, she should "kill people" again!
Leng Lan was not in a hurry, and she didn't plan to explain to Chu Jiayin, if no one announced outside, it was actually her own person who came, and it was very likely to be Chu Jingyan. Leng Lan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and said to the outsiders: "Wait a while, don't knock, knock, what about chasing souls?"
Leng Lan ate the sound of a cannonball, which made Chu Jiayin's sanity return a little, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong. The maid played by Leng Lan is very well-behaved and sensible, where do you dare to hum like this?
Could it be that someone outside is not from the Li family?
As soon as Leng Lan walked out with the lunch box, Chu Jiayin jumped off the bed and ran towards the door with bare feet, asking as she came, "Is it the second brother?" ”
Leng Lan opened the door with a smile, pushed Chu Jiayin beside him, and pushed it towards the person at the door. Chu Jingyan was startled, and almost didn't react, so he dodged Chu Jiayin.
If he dodged it by the side, Chu Jiayin estimated that he would fall and bleed!
"Gone! Brothers. Leng Lan patted Chu Jingyan on the shoulder.
Chu Jiayin was pushed by Leng Lan, fell slammed towards the door, and then fell into the arms of a person. The familiar smell comes to your face and makes you feel very familiar.
Raising his head, the face that he thought about day and night came into view: "Second brother, is it really you?" You're coming to me? ”
It's a pity that she didn't hear anything useful, but when Chu Jingyan and others were troubled, she spent several days in the Li family eating and drinking.
