The things conveyed by the spiritual priest Chen Ruhai sounded very wonderful, but Lingwu always felt a little strange. The other party's next words immediately alerted him.

"I contacted you today and the prince's important order, you must tell Long Weihou. The prince has not seen Long Weihou for many years, and he misses it very much, so he specially summoned Long Weihou and the prince Ji Longchuan to the royal capital to see him. The prince was afraid that Long Wei Hou would not be able to rule the affairs of the country, so he specially appointed Ji Longhai as the supervisor of Long Wei Hou State and acted as the agent of Hou Guo. The prince will personally officiate the wedding for you and the lord of Quang Ninh, and let you also go to the royal capital. In order to ensure the safety of Long Weihou and you, the prince personally ordered the Marquis of Hanzhong and the Marquis of Longxi to lead an army to the northern border of Fumian to meet the Marquis of Longwei and you, as well as Ling Zun. ”

When Lingwu heard this, Hou Ye's father and son and his own father and son were all going to the royal capital, something was wrong! Lingwu knew that this matter was big, and it was inconvenient to express his position, so he just said: "Thank you Prince Liang for your love, because I am now in Jiangling Mansion and am not in the same place as the Hou Ye, but Ling Wu will set off immediately to report the order of the prince to the Hou Ye of Longwei." Once Marquis Longwei makes arrangements, I will contact you immediately to inform you of the situation. Please also ask the seniors to report this situation to the prince. ”

"Well, the prince is still waiting for your wedding, and we are all looking forward to drinking the wedding wine of you and the county lord. Of all the spirits in our kingdom, only you can say that you are bound to become great spirits, and the other spirits are old and have no hope. You must believe in the prince's desire for a young and talented man who is about to become a great spiritual warrior, and the prince really likes you. When he heard about you, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for a few days, saying that you have a great chance of becoming a Lingzun, and you must be a great person in the future. You have to come early, don't keep everyone waiting! ”

"Okay, thank you for your kindness!"

When the call ended, Lingwu sat motionless, thinking that there should be something strange about it. Everything seems to be logical, but I always feel that something is wrong, the key is that Hou Ye and himself are all going, which makes people suspicious. After thinking about it for a while, Ling Wu felt that he had to tell Lin Yun about this.

When Lin Yun heard this, he stood up in shock: "What are you afraid of, what are you going to do?" This is King Liang's coming, it is a Yangmou, and it is impeccable! Your Excellency, please quickly send a trustworthy subordinate to Cheung Chau to serve as the governor, and your Excellency, you should also prepare to return to Shuanglong City. ”

"Isn't there Qin Hao in Changzhou? No need to send any more people, right? ”

"Qin Hao is still young, and he basically has no battlefield experience, I'm afraid he can't afford to appoint a heavy territory now, not to mention that Changzhou is not an ordinary place."

"Then I'll send Shi Yong, he is strong in martial arts, not weaker than the great warriors, and has participated in the Southern Expedition, so he has some experience, so it should be appropriate."

In May 799 of the Great Zhou calendar, Zhao Lingwu, the master and lord of Jiangling Mansion, issued an order: Qin Hao was appointed as the commander of the master's personal guard, and Shi Dang was appointed as the head of Xiangnan. Lin Yun, Wei Qingsong, and Qin Hao quietly left Changzhou City with only a thousand guards, and rushed to Jiangling City in the starry night.

In August 799 of the Great Zhou calendar, Zhao Lingwu, the protector of the Marquis of Longwei, issued an order: Wei Qingsong was appointed as the governor of Jiangling Prefecture, and Shi Yong was appointed as the governor of Changzhou.

In January of the 800th year of the Great Zhou calendar, Zhao Lingwu, the protector master of the Marquis of Longwei, returned to Shuanglong City. Both the Hou Mansion and the Master's Mansion sent a large number of officials to greet them outside the city, and Lingwu was not in the mood to talk to everyone at all, so he just got off the sedan chair and met with everyone, and immediately hurried into the city on the grounds that the Hou Ye was in a hurry to summon him. Even with his second uncle Zhang Rufeng, he didn't speak, but Lin Zhi did not follow Lingwu to the Hou Mansion, but returned to the Master's Mansion with Zhang Rufeng.

After receiving the report that Lingwu had arrived at the Hou Mansion, Long Weihou was also surprised, he thought that Lingwu would go to the Master's Mansion to rest for a while, and he would not come to see him until the next day at the earliest. Unexpectedly, Lingwu actually went straight to the Hou Mansion after entering the city, and did not return to the Master's Mansion at all, he immediately realized that something must have happened.

"Where is the master now?"

"Tell Master Hou, Master Zhao is waiting at the second gate of the Hou Mansion."

"Bastard thing, who is the master? How could you make him wait at the door? Invite him in, and I'll be right away. ”

In a lounge next to the Shenwu Palace, Long Weihou and Lingwu sat down on the main seat, while Lin Yun, Qin Hao, and the housekeeper generals of the Hou Mansion stood on the left and right. As soon as Long Weihou sat down, he began to reprimand his subordinates, and the bluffing housekeeper and the others hurriedly knelt down.

"You are becoming more and more unruly now, you dare to let the master stand outside the door, if you continue like this, tomorrow you will dare to block me from the palace and not allow me to enter. Who is the master? Recently, some people have been saying and doing something below, don't think I don't know. I think some people have forgotten their identity as slaves, and they can't even figure out that the Hou Mansion and the Master Mansion are the masters of my Longwei Hou Kingdom. I think he's impatient with such a minion. ”

Lingwu heard Hou Ye say more and more harshly, and quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Hou Ye, please don't blame them." Although Lord Hou loves Lingwu, I should also consciously abide by the rules, and it has nothing to do with them. I'm in a hurry to come back this time, and I really have something too important to tell Master Hou. The matter is too big, and the Hou Ye is also invited to be the master. ”

"Lingwu, don't be restrained by me, I said that my home is here, and they are bullying you young. I'll clean them up later, don't report when you go to the Hou Mansion in the future, just come in. When I heard that you went straight to me after entering the city, I knew you must be in a hurry. You say! ”

Lingwu glanced at the people present and did not speak.

Long Weihou was stunned for a moment, and then became serious: "Except for the chief manager, everyone else in the mansion is waiting outside. ”

Everyone retreated, and there were only five people left in the house, and the head of the Hou Mansion personally watched the tea for them. Lingwu informed the Marquis of Long Wei of the order of King Liang as it was. The four key points of kissing, rewarding, summoning, and greeting, Lingwu did not move any of them, and told him in detail.

The more Long Weihou listened, the tighter his brows locked. After Lingwu finished speaking, he didn't speak for a long time, and the room fell into a long period of dullness. After a long time, Long Weihou raised his head, looked at Lingwu and Lin Yun, and said slowly: "Lingwu, what do you and Chief Manager Lin think about this matter?" ”

Lingwu was about to stand up and answer, but Long Weihou hurriedly waved his hand to let him sit down. Lingwu still stood and replied: "This matter is by no means as simple as summoning relatives, I think the situation is critical!" Please also ask Hou Ye to make a decision as soon as possible, and Lingwu will be the master of everything. ”

"Lingwu, you're still polite, how can this work? Sit down, sit down, when your grandfather is here, he and I are like brothers. I made an agreement with him that I would rule together in the country. Now that Brother Yuzhang is gone, only me and Lingwu are the only ones who can rule together, and you can't be born like this. I'm angry if I do it again. ”

"Master Hou's lesson is that Lingwu will not be restrained."

"That's good, that's good. Lin Yun, you are the boss of the Master's Mansion, what do you think of this matter? ”

Lin Yun stood up, took two steps in front of Long Weihou and Lingwu, saluted respectfully, and replied: "Tell Master Hou, the old slave thinks that it is possible to recruit relatives and summon him, but if he can come back, it is definitely impossible." But King Liang's move is above board, it is for the sake of Yang, and it is impeccable. What he said was true, if he wanted the master to go, it was true that the master would go. He also invited each other with heavy troops, forced each other with force, and could not go away. ”

"So, isn't Ben Hou going to go?"

"Not necessarily, then there is only two armies facing each other, and the picture is poor. As long as the Hou Ye defeats the army of Hanzhong, goes north to choke the dangerous pass of Jianshan, and occupies the land of the Marquis of Longxi in the west, he can fight against the King of Liang. ”

"I'm afraid Hanzhong and the second marquis of Longxi are not so easy to deal with, I have one enemy and two, and the odds of winning are too small."

"Forgive the slave for being rude, Master Hou, you have only one way except to fight to the death" Lin Yun raised his head and looked directly at Long Weihou.

"Oh? Another way? No need to be polite, you just say it, I don't blame you. ”

"If you don't want to fight with them, only the Hou Ye will go to the royal capital, if King Liang is soft-hearted and let you enjoy your old age there, it will not be bad to have a prosperous and rich life."

"What if King Liang can't tolerate me? Head-to-head? ”

"It's unlikely, so why should he. It's just that letting the second young master manage the Hou Kingdom, this is at most a short time, and it is impossible in the long run. However, the possibility of the head falling to the ground is still small, although Hou Ye has teamed up with Master Zhang to fight against King Liang over the years, the prince will always be a little unhappy in his heart. As long as you arrive in the royal capital, the land and population of the Hou country, King Liang can take it at any time, and it may not matter so much whether you are killed or not. ”

"Alas! Lin Yun, you are telling the truth. You have assisted your old master for decades, and you have been loyal. Now I am assisting the little master, I hope you will help Lingwu make more suggestions and build miracles for Hou Guo! Ben Hou is here to thank you for Brother Zhang" Long Weihou sighed and said very affectionately.

"Lin Yun remembers the teachings of the Hou Ye, and he will definitely live up to the trust of the old master."

"Lingwu, you are in a hurry all the way, you must be tired. This matter is related to the life and death of the Hou Kingdom, and I can't make up my mind for a while. But things are not in a hurry at this time, you better go back to your home and rest, let's think about it carefully. ”

"Yes, Master Hou. I'll wait for this to retire, and if I have something, please summon the Hou Ye" Lingwu and the others hurriedly said goodbye.
