The man in blue thought that he was angry, his face was not very happy, and when he saw Murong Xun, he just said lightly: "Dare to ask when this brother Tai called down?" ”

Murong Xun didn't mind, he personally poured a glass of wine with him, and said with a smile: "Son, please take a seat!" Dare to ask your son's surname? ”

The man in blue sat down, hugged his fists and said, "Exempt from noble Liu!" ”

"Liu Gongzi!" Murong Xun smiled: "I just saw that Gongzi seemed to have a quarrel with someone and didn't know what happened?" ”

Liu Gongzi glanced at Murong Xun, and I concealed it, but there was a mocking smile on his face, and said: "I don't know where a prince came, saying that he admired my talent and invited me to have a glass of water and wine, we came to this restaurant, we just talked about the recent war, I felt that I had a fate with him to say a few more words, and I didn't know that that sentence provoked him, that is, he drove me out, I am really ashamed!" ”

Murong Xun said with a smile: "People's conduct and preferences are naturally different, where can everyone be satisfied!" It's just that it's not easy to be so rude between words, and I think that Gongzi is also a narrow-minded person, such a person, it's just that he doesn't make friends! ”

Liu Gongzi's Murong was extraordinary, and his words were refreshing, and he had a few more good feelings in his heart, and the two of them drank a few glasses in a row. Murong Xun caught a glimpse of a few people walking out of the private room, and the one in the middle was dressed in a moon-white robe with a handsome face, and he was afraid that he was not a young master from an ordinary family. And Murong Xun's eyes were attracted by a guard beside this son, this guard was the person of the King of Linzi that Murong Xun had seen, when she lived in the Phantom Wall Courtyard with Zhao Pan at that time, she had seen this person from afar. So, is this brocade boy also the king of Linzi? At such a critical juncture, Sifang City came, it seems that this King of Linzi is about to make a move!

Murong Xun accepted his emotions, looked at Liu Gongzi with a smile, and asked, "I don't know what happened to Liu Gongzi to provoke that son?" ”

Liu Gongzi ate a glass of wine and said: "Speaking of the recent war, I just talked about a few words that the emperor ordered several times that the vassal kings from all over the country either sent troops or money and grain to help the war, everyone knows that the king of Linzi is the richest by relying on minerals, but this king of Linzi has repeatedly delayed regardless of the safety of the country, isn't there a bad intention?" The man who had thought of him said that I didn't know what to do, and he called me out! ”

Murong Xun laughed secretly in his heart, since you think so much in your heart, the King of Linzi will not want you even if they have the heart to solicit you! After a few words with Liu Gongzi, seeing that it was getting late, Murong Xun was about to go back, and before leaving, he told him that he had some friendship with Old Marquis Chen, and he was willing to introduce him to him. This son surnamed Liu said quite backbone that he didn't want to be a man, but he made friends and lived a leisurely life, and Murong Xun was not reluctant, so he quit him and went back to the Hou Mansion.

In the evening, Murong Xun told Zhao Ling what he had seen and heard today, "This King of Linzi's people came to the Sifang City, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy, and I don't know what the intentions are!" ”

Zhao Ling's face was also a little heavy, and he said, "I'm afraid I want to be in harmony with the nomads in the north!" ”

Murong Xun was taken aback, turned his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "This King of Linzi is not a thing, in order to be able to ascend the throne, he even disregarded the overall situation, doesn't he know that the nomads and Daxiang have a long-standing grudge, and they are both cruel and murderous, if they contain the troops in the central part, but the nomads enter the pass, it is the people of Daxiang who suffer!" ”

Zhao Ling saw that Murong Xun had already figured out the joints, so he sighed: "The king of Linzi is only a courtier no matter how rich he is, in the end, he still has to look at the eyes of the imperial brother, he took advantage of the Wei State to send troops to cause trouble, I am afraid that in the future, he will not hesitate to share Daxiang with the Wei State equally!" After all, this king is different from being a courtier, and only those who have had it can know how tempting power is! ”

Murong Xun remembered that since Zhao Che had different intentions for the King of Linzi, he had known for a long time, but why had he really been unprepared in the recent days, but instead gathered the soldiers in the central part of the country to the border pass?

Murong Xun looked at Zhao Ling and asked, "Your Majesty, is this using Sifang City as bait to gamble?" The Sifang City contained the King of Linzi and the surrounding anti-kings, so that they focused on the Sifang City in order to contain the central forces of a nomadic people, but His Majesty had already gathered the central forces to the border pass, so he decided to deal with the Wei State with all his might, and then come back to his senses to deal with the situation here? ”

Zhao Ling touched Murong Xun's hair and said with a smile: "Very smart, good guess!" ”

Murong Xun said with a heavy face: "Is Sifang City an outcast? Whether it is the attack of the nomads or the occupation of the Sifang City by the anti-king in the future, the Sifang City will inevitably be ruined, and the old Marquis Chen has been brave and loyal all his life, and in the end, he is afraid that he will not be able to die well! ”

Zhao Ling took Murong Xun in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said, "So this is the purpose of my coming to Sifang City!" In any case, I must also close the gateway to the north of Daxiang, which is the place where the imperial brother or the queen mother is sorry for me, but as the king of Qin in Daxiang, it is my bounden duty! ”

Murong Xun also sighed: "You are a good man, there are so many beasts in this world who disregard the lives of the people, so that people can't live in peace!" ”

About two days later, there was indeed a sudden outbreak in the originally quiet Sifang City, and the emperor had given up the Sifang City as an outcast. However, since the war had not endangered his hometown after all, and Chen Hou's prestige in Sifang City had always been good, not many people panicked. But it was like throwing a stone into a calm pond, and there was a ripple of surprise, and although there was not much panic on everyone's faces, they were a little more concerned about the matter, as if there was an invisible whirlpool.

However, Zhao Ling and Chen Hou's attitude towards this matter was not to care about the message, but they were secretly observing in the city and secretly investigating the person who sent the message.

However, for these rumors, according to Murong Xun's speculation, it is also related to the people who came to King Linzi a few days ago! These days, Murong Xun also felt that Zhao Ling was a lot busy, and often came back late at night, this night, Zhao Ling seemed to come back earlier than before, Murong Xun felt curious, so he asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

Zhao Ling sighed: "The Helian clan has already made a move, and is assembling towards the Sifang City, and it will not be long before the other clans believe that they will also gather in the Quartet, Chen Hou decided to preemptively lead people to ambush Helian on the road first, in order to give the other party a dismount!" ”

When Murong Xun heard this, he also sighed: "My father-in-law is old, but he can't enjoy his old age in the year of the sixtieth year, but he still has to charge into battle!" ”

Zhao Ling smiled slightly, and said: "For the general, he has already prepared for the return of the horse leather shroud, if he really throws his head and spills his blood for the country, it is death and death is a well-deserved death, Chen Hou is loyal and righteous all his life, even if he is told to rest, he may not be willing!" ”

Murong Xun said: "After all, the battlefield is dangerous, but at this moment, Yu Zhi has not come back, in the end, it is good to call the righteous father Yu Yi!" ”

On the second day, the old Marquis Chen led his troops to ambush the enemy, but he went quietly, not many people knew about it, and after that, the gate of the Hou Mansion was closed, and all matters were handed over to Zhao Ling to deal with.

Although Qian Jianjun has already guessed Zhao Ling's identity, but because Zhao Ling still has not officially appeared, since the old marquis left, the Sifang City is presided over by Qian Jianjun on the surface, but if there is a major event, the generals left by Chen Hou must be discussed with Zhao Ling first, that is, this Qian Jianjun is only regarded as an ornament, and it has no substantive effect.

The so-called mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, but recently the Sifang City has been too quiet, and even Zhao Ling feels that things are a little strange. Under the secret inquiry, it was learned that there were several generals in the city who had colluded with the king of Linzi, and they were planning a civil strife, and judging from the news from the surrounding areas, the kings of several vassal parties around the Quartet had received the benefits of the king of Linzi, and they only waited to cooperate with the inside and outside of the city of the four directions, and after taking the four sides, let the nomads enter the city.
