In the afternoon of this day, Lan Jing'an met the generals again in the main hall of the Chenliu County Mansion. At this time, she realized that the Chenliu County Mansion was really not big, and the generals were standing all over the place, and there was no place for one person to sit down.

She was sitting in the side seat, listening to Brother Qingyun's deployment, and her eyes slowly swept over everyone in the hall. I saw that there were four more people I didn't know among these people, and I thought it was Brother Qingyun's Dayong general who had been subdued in the past year and a half.

Among the four people, only one was dressed as a scribe, and Lan Jing'an guessed that he should be Liu Cong who went to practice the Xianbei strategy. She had heard her mentor mention that Liu Cong was left by Brother Qingyun's side because of his great contributions to Xianbei. Although Lan Jing'an had heard his name many times, it was the first time he saw him, and he couldn't help but look at him twice. Liu Cong saw that Da Si Ming was looking at him, and he also smiled back slightly.

Lan Jing'an set her eyes on the other three generals again, and after just a few sweeps, she recognized that the third one standing on the right was Xiao Meng. When she was in the boudoir, she had heard the name of the hussar general Xiao Meng, in addition to his good fighting, which made Xianbei and the Huns fearful, and more importantly, it is said that he looked talented, and his eldest son Xiao Bei inherited his father's good looks, and was the object of many Yonghua City boudoir girls.

Lan Jing'an speculated that Xiao Meng should be about the age of not being confused based on Xiao Bei's age. Lu Min is not a few years older than him, and Yuwen Junping, who was once shot by her own hands, should be about the same age. But in terms of appearance alone, those two people are really far behind him, and Xiao Meng's face is too confusing, and she will believe it if she says that she is less than thirty.

Xiao Meng heard that Xiao Qingyun asked him to follow the order of the big secretary to Jizhou, except for bowing down and agreeing, his eyes did not glance at the side seat, which made Lan Jingan feel that this well-known general was really a stable one.

That night, Chen Liujun Mansion held a banquet to catch the wind for Lan Jing'an. Before the banquet, Lan Jing'an specially met Xiao Meng in the study room in advance.

When Xiao Meng entered, Lan Jing'an was talking to Chen Yang. The people who followed her this time, except for Xiao Meng, were all old acquaintances, especially Bai Qingfeng, Qiu Shaoze and Jiang Shaoheng, who were all the most familiar with her, and several people had fought with her when they were in Xiangyang. Although Chen Yang had never seen Lan Jing'an lead a soldier with a bow horse, the ability she showed in Jizhou was enough to make him surrender.

Xiao Meng quietly looked at the great priest who could be his daughter at this age. I saw that the bright girl who was not in her twentieth year had changed into a purple deep dress, and she did not wear heavy makeup on her face, and she did not have a delicate ring on her body. When he spoke to Chen Yang, his voice was tactful, and he kept smiling on his face. If it weren't for the inadvertent sharpness of the corners of her eyes, Xiao Meng really couldn't see any difference between her and other young ladies of the family.

Waiting for Chen Yang to say goodbye and go out, Lan Jing accepted Xiao Meng's military salute without moving, and then elegantly stretched out his hand to the place where Chen Yang had sat just now, and said, "General Xiao, please sit." ”

Xiao Meng humbly excused himself and sat down on the mat with residual warmth. Lan Jing'an saw him straighten his back, half-bowed his head, and opened his mouth with a satisfied smile: "I have heard the name of General Xiao for a long time, and when I first saw him today, I felt that the general was magnificent, and he deserved to be a good general of a generation." ”

Xiao Meng humbled himself: "The great priest has too much reputation. Then she waited for Lan Jing'an's next words, thinking to herself, since she had ordered herself, she must have to talk about the arrangement.

Lan Jing'an continued to speak: "This time, General Xiao will go north with me, but it will be hard for a while. I wonder if your eldest son is still with Brother Ling? ”

Xiao Meng's brows furrowed quickly, did this great priest do it on purpose? Knowing that he was at odds with his younger brother, the eldest son also let his younger brother detain him, and he wanted not to open which pot. But Chaumont replied angrily, "Yes." The last general is incompetent, and the godbrother has no way. ”

Lan Jing'an disagreed: "I want to come to the general and miss my family, I hope that this trip to the north can reunite the general's family." ”

Xiao Meng was even more angry in his heart, who was the Great Si Ming sarcastic? Who doesn't know that Ah Jian is a hard bone, she has to let herself kill her younger brother and kill her sister-in-law with her own hands to be considered a complete merit and show her loyalty?

Lan Jing'an looked at Xiao Meng's quietly clenched fists silently, and continued: "General Xiao, can you invite a female relative from your family to accompany you on this trip?" ”

Xiao Meng rolled her eyes in surprise, didn't she want to attack the state? Why do you want him to bring his daughters to the family? He couldn't help asking: "I don't know who is in the family of the last general?" ”

Lan Jing'an directly named: "Your daughter-in-law is worried about Ling Gongzi day and night if she wants to come, why don't you take her with you." You don't have to let her run around, just go and join us directly. ”

Xiao Meng was a little confused, and a little incredulous. She thought that with a woman saying two words, Ah Jian would be able to surrender? He even gave up Bei'er, what was the result? Except that Bei'er was beaten by that violent temper and detained there, nothing was exchanged. Is she now asking him to take Bei's daughter-in-law to death as well?

Lan Jing'an didn't care about his expression. He asked again: "General Xiao believes in God?" Chaumon bowed his head and remained silent.

Lan Jing'an didn't force him, and continued: "Since General Xiao is willing to wish me a helping hand, the gods will definitely understand General Xiao's suffering and bless the general's family to return safely. ”

Is this the promise she gave? As long as she honestly helps her fight and merge the state, she will keep his family safe? It's not a small tone. Thinking back to her previous methods, Xiao Meng was a little less suspicious. He finally looked up and hesitated: "My unassuming brother..."

Lan Jing'an's face was still gentle: "I often hear that although the Xiao family is a family of Rongma, the poetry, calligraphy and etiquette are also excellent. Brother Ling is also an excellent character, but he doesn't know the will of God. The so-called ignorant are not guilty, you say, right? ”

Xiao Meng smiled bitterly, from the day he surrendered to the marshal, where was there any way out. Since Da Si Ming is willing to let Ah Jian go, he can only accompany her to fight and merge with the state. Xiao Meng clenched his fists and said: "The last general is willing to saddle the horse before and after the great secretary's order, and let the big secretary dispatch him." ”

Lan Jing'an smiled with satisfaction: "There will be a banquet over there in a while, and I won't leave the general to drink tea." We will get along for a long time in the future, and we will have to rely on General Xiao. ”

Xiao Meng was still a little dizzy until he came out of the study. Originally, he thought that the great priest would talk to him about the arrangements for him, but he didn't say anything except for asking him to bring his daughter-in-law to the north and say a few words about Ah Qian. If he wants to reuse himself, why not let him take the 10,000 people he has cronies? If you don't plan to make good use of yourself, why are you so polite to him?

Xiao Meng thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, but he just remembered to remind himself that he had to send someone to inform his daughter-in-law in Bei tomorrow, so that she could quickly set off from Puyang to Zhending.

At the dinner party to welcome Lan Jing'an, it looked harmonious at first, until a few cups of yellow soup were eaten, and three or five generals recounted the dangers in Jizhou at the beginning, and a few people who were not afraid of death became angry. Xiao Qingyun listened to their words and secretly accused Ahri of being a red face and causing trouble, and his already bleak face was even more cold.

Lan Jing'an didn't care, such a result was much better than she expected. At least no one dared to say in front of her that she was not worthy of leading troops or standing beside Brother Qingyun, and that's it. The rest can only be said after the big victory of the state.

Shen Rongzhi looked at these open-mouthed people coldly, and sighed silently in his heart: People's hearts are really cruel. Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu. How much heart do you have to worry about, how much work you have done? No matter how perfect a person is, someone can find a hat and buckle it on his head. He pursed his lips and turned his head to laugh with Bai Qingfeng again.
