Chapter Fifty-Six: Five Hundred Heavenly Trenches

And the man with the most power in the Northern Tang Dynasty recently rarely went to the palace, even though all the affairs in the palace were carried out in an orderly manner under his instructions.

He has always been in the Qin Palace, but he is much busier than before.

A sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of the Qin Palace, and outside the door, in addition to the guards of the Qin Palace, there was also a heavily armed Yulin army.

The middle-aged man who was still in his prime fell from the sedan chair, raised his eyes to look at the heavily guarded Yulin Army, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When those Yulin soldiers and the guards in front of King Qin's mansion saw his arrival, they all saluted and said, "I've seen Lord Xu." ”

"I have something important to visit His Royal Highness King Qin, and I hope to pass it." Xu Jingyi said.

"Your Excellency, please wait a moment."

A guard from the Qin Palace's palace left very quickly, and returned shortly after, signaling, "Lord Xu, please." ”

……

……

Li Zenan sat in front of the window, and there were a few bamboo slips on the desk.

A diagonal figure was reflected in the Zhu Gate, as if standing outside the door.

Li Zenan raised his head, smiled elegantly, and said, "Lord Xu, come in." ”

Xu Jingyi entered the Zhu Gate, and Li Zenan motioned for him to sit down, but he didn't sit down immediately, but looked at Li Zenan very seriously for a long time before saying: "Your Highness looks a lot thinner, Your Highness has been working hard day and night recently, and I hope to take care of your body, don't be too tired." ”

"Your Majesty died, Xianyue was also punished, so many things happened in Chang'an, before, because of the matter of Guan Kuo, many people were killed together with Bai Zhang, and then Shang Yifang and Long and He also had an accident, many people are not as good as before, but the country still has to run, I don't work hard, so what can I do?" Li Zenan smiled, it sounded like a little complaining, but his voice was very light, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.

"But there are still some things that have to be resolved." Xu Jingyi smiled and sat down.

"I can see that Lord Xu came over this time to talk to me about the things that have not yet been resolved." Li Zenan put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at the other party.

"Yes, Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, was executed for rebellion, which was very happy, but it left behind endless troubles, until now, there seems to be no good news, the only news I have gotten is probably just the death of incompetent government soldiers in various places." Xu Jingyi spread his hands, and it could be seen that he was a little helpless about the ability of the soldiers in various places.

Li Xunan looked at him: "I knew that you would mention Guan Kuo, and this is not something you want to mention alone, but they all have to mention it, right?" ”

"Guan Qinghe is dead, Guan Fu is also dead, Guan Kuo is just a lost dog now, no matter how strong his strength is, can he be stronger than Qiu God of War? Can it stand up to thousands of troops? So he is not a big problem worth considering, the big problem is that he is holding Li Qianrong, the son of King Jin, hostage, which is a variable and a huge threat. Xu Jingyi's expression froze, looking very uneasy.

Li Zenan took out a handkerchief and wiped his slender hands, as if he had removed the ink before, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and said: "Lord Xu, Qianrong is just a child, he has to be forgiving and forgiving, Xianyue's rebellion is Xianyue's business, Qianrong is still young, and he doesn't understand anything." ”

Xu Jingyi stared at his eyes for a while, and then quickly moved away, he didn't dare to look at this person for too long, but he said: "The husband is not guilty, he is guilty, the son of a sinner, he always has to take some measures, Guan Kuo was like this back then, but no one would have thought that he would be able to come back from Northern Xinjiang alive." ”

He actually knew very well in his heart, and he also wanted to provoke Li Zenan's hypocritical face, but he didn't want to do this, it would be His Majesty the Emperor in the near future, what Li Zenan said, even if he knew it in his heart, he had to act as if he didn't know and believed it.

"Then what do you think about sending Qianrong to the army?" Li Zenan smiled.

Xu Jingyi was stunned by his words, and finally said: "His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, and in the end, it will be His Majesty the Emperor, and the decision is what you should do, we can only express our hearts." ”

Li Zenan stood up, came to the window, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and said with a sigh:

"Qianrong is so young, he was involved in these things, since he is gone, it is okay like that, then let's go, I guess he hates him to the core, and it is impossible to use him to do something."

"And Guan Kuo itself?" Xu Jingyi also stood up and came to his back, "Do you just let him go?" ”

Li Zenan turned around and suddenly asked:

"Lord Xu, you have complained about the incompetence of the government soldiers before, so the government soldiers, are the government soldiers useful?"

"They are not scattered, the world is so big, there is no trace of Guan Kuo, scattered, and like that one thing after another, they can't be defeated, they are still dead, and the whole army is wiped out."

"You all know that Guan Kuo is very strong, and more than a dozen or twenty people have met him, and he is not an elite Yulin Army, so it is not enough for him to stuff his teeth."

Li Zenan's description was a bit funny, but Xu Jingyi couldn't laugh at all, many of them may have been careless about Guan Kuo in the past, but when things happened, until the end, Lin Hai, Shang Yiwu and Long Fei, and some others died, and they began to be extremely jealous of Guan Kuo.

Xu Jingyi didn't particularly know what Li Zenan thought, but he knew very well that Li Zenan had a certain number in his heart, all they had to do was to mention something, and the other party must have made all the preparations.

Li Zenan sat down again and said, "Let's talk about something else." ”

……

After talking for a long time, Xu Jingyi left.

Li Zenan sat there for a long time, and finally said loudly:

"Tell Qu Ya to come down to me."

The sound of armor came from outside the Zhu Gate, and the entry was a very ordinary-looking young man.

He was thin and not tall, but for some reason, his whole person gave people a very strange dangerous aura.

He's like a knife that can appear above your head at any moment.

"Your Highness!"

Qu Yaxia knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists.

Li Zenan looked at him with admiration.

"I'll lend you that horse." He said.

"Take a shortcut, presumably no matter how fast Guan Kuo is, he will have to weigh the detour, you should be able to intercept him before he goes to Nanwu, and there, they are all waiting for you."

Qu Yaxia didn't understand who "they" meant, he was full of doubts, but he still resolutely took the order: "Obey!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to be full of confidence," Li Zenan didn't know when, and began to play with a big seal in his hand, "Guan Kuo is a very dangerous character, you must not despise him, although Xue Zhao has already gone to kill him, but I think Xue Zhao may not be able to kill him." ”

Qu Yaxia raised his head, his face was full of surprise, everyone in Chang'an knew that Xue Zhao had been very busy recently, busy with the affairs in the feather forest, so no one could see him, he also believed it, but he didn't expect that Xue Zhao actually went to hunt down Guan Kuo!

"But there shouldn't be any big problem, it's just that some people will die, there must be Guan Kuo in there, and there ......" Li Zenan paused, "Qianrong." ”

He stopped playing with his hand, pushed the big seal forward, and said, "I'll give it to you...... Five hundred. ”

Qu Yaxia raised his head and saw the two words on the big seal, his face was full of surprise.

Zhennan!

Zhennan Cavalry, the strongest cavalry in the Northern Tang Dynasty, fought against the most terrifying opponent in the Northern Tang Dynasty - Southern Wu.

Five hundred Zhennan horses are enough to sweep the territory, but Li Zenan actually only used it to kill two people, which shows how much Li Zenan attaches importance to those two people.

"They are already there waiting for you, don't disappoint me." Li Zenan said lightly, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the other party.

If Xu Jingyi knew this news, he would definitely smile bitterly: they all thought that Li Zenan didn't attach importance to Guan Kuo's matter, but they didn't expect that Li Zenan was not in a hurry at all, because in the place closest to Guan Kuo and Nanwu, an insurmountable gutter was arranged, and that gutter would be composed of five hundred and one people.
