Chapter Fifty-Eight

He came to tempt.

The idea of uniting Lin Guo to find the eldest princess was given by Lord Taiwei. This plan was indeed a risky move, and at that time, Lou Zhan had no way to adopt the Tai Lieutenant's suggestion. If it is not handled properly and there is an accident in the process of implementation, then it will easily lead to the rigidity of the relationship between Da Yan and Lin Guo, and even cause war, and Lou Zhan himself has also attracted the suspicion of the old emperor.

Relations between nations will become tense, and relations between kings and ministers will become tense.

He didn't come out of his way to blame Lord Taiwei, and of course he didn't come to shirk responsibility, and he himself was indeed negligent on this point.

It's because Lord Taiwei knew what the consequences of doing this would be, but he didn't remind him, so did Lord Taiwei not think of this, or did he do it on purpose?

Now that there is a mole in the Great Yan court, Lou Zhan has to think about it more.

"Knock knock."

The sudden knock on the door smelled hollow in this lonely place, and it was so loud that it was like thunder on the ground.

After a while, the mottled vermilion lacquer door was opened from the inside, and the figure of an old man with white hair came into view.

"You...... Who are you? ”

Most of the old man's eyes were whites, his face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was not very neat, and he looked old and frail.

When the old man saw the person standing in front of him, he asked out loud.

"Old man, I am the general Lou Zhan, and I have come to visit Lord Taiwei." Lou Zhan hugged his fist.

The old man looked at the sword at his waist and waved his hand again and again: "It's not the right time for you to come, the master is not there, not there." ”

"Really? Since this is the case, the general Ben took his leave. ”

After that, Lou Zhan did not hesitate to take people away.

The old man stared at the backs of the three people through the crack in the door and left, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze and closed the door.

But in the courtyard, the white-haired Chen Song was sitting under a tree drinking, and the hot water was boiling on the stove next to him.

The old man walked quickly to the stone table and sat down, and took a sip of freshly brewed wine.

"Who's coming?" Chen Song asked.

"Lou Zhan." The old man's voice suddenly changed, and became much louder and younger, which did not match his appearance very much.

"Lou Zhan?" Hearing this, Chen Song raised his head, slightly surprised.

The old man glanced at him: "Why did he come to you?" Is your plan ......?"

Chen Song shook his head slowly and said, "He would never think of it, don't worry." ”

"I hope so, but I still have to remind you, be careful, don't be smart but be mistaken by smart, and affect Your Highness."

"You've thought a lot, just take care of yourself." Chen Song sank his face.

"Your Highness trusts my abilities to appoint me as his advisor. The kidnapping of Princess Da Yan was also the idea of this military division, and now that Emperor Da Yan is in a hurry, Lou Zhan has also entered the trap I arranged without knowing it. Hahaha, is my credit still small? The old man laughed proudly and tore off the mask on his face, which turned out to be a middle-aged man in his forties.

Chen Song got up, his face gloomy: "If you want to ask for merit and reward, you should go to Your Highness, I am not your master!" ”

When the middle-aged man saw that he was angry, he stopped laughing, but his face was full of pride: "Lord Taiwei, why be angry? The master will naturally reward a person with outstanding ability like me, and he will also punish those who are useless, so you should think about how to reflect your value! ”

"Why do you teach the old man! Jia Qin, Lou Zhan's martial arts are strong, I think the people you sent are all going to die, don't be too complacent, in case it is exposed, you should give up the position of this military advisor to others! ”

The middle-aged man named Jia Qin also lowered his face and snorted angrily: "It's up to you to decide this matter!" ”

"Then we'll just wait and see."

Three days later, the decree was issued to the Taishifu. The emperor ordered the general Lou Zhan to be the commander-in-chief, and went to the northern Xinjiang to meet the enemy with the imperial lieutenant Chen Song.

As soon as the decree was issued, the whole Taishi Mansion knew the news of the Linguo Tunbing Valley Pass.

Xigu Pass is the pass of the northern Xinjiang, where the troops of the Lin State are stationed, and the intention is obvious, so the emperor will issue a holy decree and order Lou Zhan to take command of the expedition.

And the news of Lin Guotun's soldiers, Xiguguan and Lou Zhan's expedition with Taiwei spread.

At such a time, any major event of the imperial court will become the focus of attention of the people, because once a war is started, it will have to collect grain and increase taxes.

In today's Taishi Mansion, the whole atmosphere is a little dull, because my uncle will soon leave the imperial city and go to the battlefield.

Bai Fengyi did not say anything, but Bai Yiyun was very interested in it.

After the meal, he pulled his brother-in-law and asked, "Brother-in-law, if you go to the battlefield, you will inevitably get injured, right?" ”

Lou Zhan nodded.

"The soldiers are injured, can they be treated with medicinal herbs?"

Lou Zhan said: "There is gold sore medicine in the army. ”

Bai Yiyun slapped his thigh: "How can gold sore medicine work?" ”

"Why not?"

"Although the effect of the medicine is good, it does not cure the symptoms."

Lou Zhan didn't know why, but still said: "It's already very good." What do you want to say? ”

"Brother-in-law, don't misunderstand me when I see money, I'm thinking about the health of the soldiers, that's the case, I opened a medicinal herb shop, specializing in collecting medicinal herbs from the towns and villages below, making medicinal materials to sell, you don't have to worry about the price, the medicinal herb shop is specially operated for those ordinary people, so the price is particularly cheap, much better than the expensive medicinal materials in the medicinal herb shops on the market now!" Bai Yiyun was careful with his words, for fear that this brother-in-law would treat him as a profiteer.

"Oh." Lou Zhan nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations, I wish you good luck, if there is a need, I will speak." ”

"Okay, don't worry, wait for you to be in need, just write to me, our hanging pot pharmacy has not yet opened, and when it opens, you are our first guest, and you are a distinguished guest, and your guest has a preferential ......" Bai Yiyun said excitedly.

"Thank you, the emperor ordered me to leave in three days." Lou Zhan clenched his fists, and left in a hurry after speaking, he still had a lot of things to do, such as going to the station in Xishan to select elite soldiers.

"Brother-in-law, walk slowly, remember, it's a hanging pot pharmacy!" Bai Yiyun followed him to the door before waving his hand.

Yirong was sitting in front of the window in a daze.

Her husband was going to the battlefield, going to war, she should have thought of it a long time ago, but when she was really leaving, she seemed to realize how dangerous the place her husband went was, and she didn't know when she would be able to come back.

"Alas......" Yirong couldn't help but sigh.

Ying'er was sitting there embroidering with Yan'er, and when she heard her wife sighing like this, she couldn't help but comfort: "Madam, my uncle will always go, he is a general, instead of sighing, it is better to be happy, otherwise my uncle will think of you in his heart, and he will be dis......tracted by even fighting" Saying, she sighed again: "Alas, it would be good if Mrs. could also follow." ”

Yirong's body was shocked, follow? But...... Will the husband agree?

"Yes, it would be nice if I could follow, Ying'er ....." Yirong wanted to say and stopped.

"Madam, don't listen to Ying'er, the battlefield is so dangerous, and the road is far away and bumpy, how can Madame follow?" Yan'er interjected.
