But Liu Binyuan quickly noticed that Feng Jianbei's face was solemn, frowning, and he didn't mean to teach himself a lesson. This kind of expression is difficult to see on Feng Jianbei, who has always been dashing. He had a vague premonition that something was about to happen.

"Something happened in the north. Feng Jianbei's first sentence when he looked at Liu Binyuan was so direct.

"What?" asked Liu Binyuan nervously.

"The group of barbarian apes in the Northern Wasteland went berserk and lost control, attacking the northern defense line of Shuofang City. Now Shuofang City has resisted the impact of the other party, but there are signs of re-attacking. Now the Liu family is already organizing the evacuation of the people of Shuofang City. ”

Liu Binyuan nodded solemnly. No wonder a character like Feng Jianbei will change color slightly, the situation has really reached such a serious point. The ferocity of the wild ape Liu Bin has been seen far away, and the destructive power brought by the wild ape in a group is really immeasurable.

"How is my father?" asked Liu Binyuan hurriedly.

Feng Jianbei was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Liu Yuelei personally led his troops to resist the defense line of Beicheng and was seriously injured by the barbarian ape. ”

Liu Binyuan was stunned, the news hit him like a thunderbolt on his head, and his head was "buzzing".

"When did you get the news?" Liu Binyuan finally reacted.

"Half an hour ago, a fast horse from the north delivered a message. If you hadn't shown up in the practice room, you could have saved half an hour. King Chengji and Liu Guanglei are waiting for you. ”

"Let's go!" Liu Binyuan didn't even have time to say goodbye to Xiao Ying'er, he only hurriedly turned around and glanced at her, and left with Feng Jianbei, leaving only Xiao Ying'er alone, thoughtful.

Liu Binyuan followed Feng Jianbei and walked quickly, suddenly remembered something, walked two steps quickly to Feng Jianbei's side and asked in a low voice: "...... sister over there?"

"I don't know how she's going to react with her temper, but someone is already on her way to inform her. ”

......

When Liu Binyuan rushed back to the conference hall with Feng Jianbei, it was already quite lively inside.

Everyone in the Liu family, including Liu Guanglei and several senior generals in the Northern Army, all sat on the right-hand side of the entrance door of the council hall, and on the left-hand side were the people from the Chengji Palace, who also lined up at the table, Liu Binyuan only recognized three or four of them, and the most familiar one was a young man named Lin Qian, who was not a few years older than Liu Binyuan, but in recent days he has been quite appreciated and has been a big official in the army. Most of the henchmen and strong generals under King Chengji withered, and he was in dire need of people, and Lin Qian also took this opportunity to get the position.

Although Lin Qian is very old in military and political affairs, he is a young man after all, sitting in his current position, there are few peers around, and often in this kind of occasion, only he and Liu Binyuan are considered to be of the same age, so he and Liu Binyuan recognize each other. He noticed Liu Binyuan entering the door and nodded slightly at him, regardless of whether Liu Binyuan noticed it or not.

Liu Binyuan really didn't notice Lin Qian, because the scene in front of him attracted all his attention. Liu Guanglei had a gloomy expression on his face, and the green tendons on Xiao Mu's forehead burst out, but the two were silent very tacitly, allowing the subordinates on both sides to quarrel, and the two sides were separated by a wide long table, sitting on both sides, and even the long table was sometimes moved by their fierce movements.

The content of the argument was similar to what Liu Binyuan expected, Liu Guanglei naturally wanted to mobilize the northern army in Yunzhong City and even the army under the command of King Chengji to support Shuozhou, but Xiao Mu was naturally unwilling.

Wei Zhuoxi retreated to Qingzhou, the desert wolf battalion division, the situation in the east has just stabilized, but there are also many variables. The emperor died in Lizhou, and his old buddy Ye Tian had already proclaimed himself emperor in the imperial city of Zhongzhou, without the care of the first emperor and the obsession with Longyuan, even if Xiao Mu was unwilling, he had to admit that he had gradually entered the entire power struggle. Yunzhou and Changzhou are all in his hands, and now is the time for him to use this to develop and gain momentum, and he is naturally unwilling to give up this great advantage, and he will rush to Shuozhou with all his might.

Liu Binyuan was very embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know what to do, but he walked over to Feng Jianbei as if no one was around, pulled out a stool next to Liu Guanglei and sat down. He walked over too conspicuously, and even Liu Binyuan was noticed.

Xiao Mu was opposite him, he saw more clearly, and seemed to see some opportunity, and asked loudly, even overpowering the argument on both sides: "What does the prince think?"

Liu Binyuan was in a dilemma for a while, and suddenly felt that the eyes of both sides fell on him. In particular, Liu Guanglei's gaze stabbed like a sword, worried that Liu Binyuan would say something that would affect his position. As the son of his family, everything he says has its own weight, and Liu Guanglei is not good at going against the will of the prince.

"Binyuan...... Binyuan thought that the northern border was in danger, and the Chengji Royal Mansion was an ally with it, so it was not ...... You shouldn't sit idly by. Liu Binyuan smiled dryly and answered Xiao Mu's question.

Liu Binyuan really didn't know how to deal with this dilemma, but after all, he still picked out something that he had to say from the position of the prince of the northern realm, and he could feel that as soon as the words came out, Liu Guanglei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Mu's eyebrows also moved. His scalp was numb, but he stumbled and spoke, but his thoughts became clearer and clearer in his mind.

However, Binyuan felt that the key to solving the current predicament in the north was not to rush to the aid of the army. The northern territory is vast, the armament is sufficient, and the sergeants are also brave and good at fighting, and now in the city of clouds, there are only fifty or sixty thousand sergeants stationed in the city. ”

Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, and the way to help without spending a large army was just thinking about him, so he nodded and said, "Go on." ”

"The attack of the brute ape, the suddenness of the incident, is the reason for such a loss. If the defense line is consolidated and a formation is formed, it should not be easy for the brute ape to break through. Therefore, the key is that in the Northern Wasteland, Binyuan has been in contact with the wild apes, they are not bloodthirsty and violent beasts, there must be something wrong in the Northern Wasteland that caused them to go south in large numbers. ”

Xiao Mu and the others nodded again and again, as if they felt justified, but the faces of the people on the Liu family's side became more and more ugly. Hearing that Liu Binyuan had the idea to hit the Northern Wasteland, the fear of the Northern Wasteland haunted the hearts of everyone in the North again.

Liu Binyuan ignored the changes in the eyes around him, but was a little excited, and continued: "In the Northern Wasteland, it is not suitable for a large army to press the realm, the best way is to go deep into a small team of 100 people to find out the problem. The Liu family's army resists the invasion of barbarian apes, and the manpower is limited, this team should be sent by King Chengji, right?"

Xiao Mu touched his stubble and pondered, "Then how should this team bypass the crazy barbarian ape in the middle and go straight to what you said, the Northern Wasteland?"

"The eastern side of the North Wasteland is close to the sea, and it can be reached by boat from Beiwang Port in the southeast of Shuozhou. ”

"It's a good idea, but the people under this king are not familiar with the northern border, so how can they guarantee that they can find out the crux of the world's mouth?"

Liu Guanglei's face changed suddenly, he finally figured out Liu Binyuan's thoughts, and also had a premonition of what he was going to say next. He was eager to organize Liu Binyuan, but he saw Liu Binyuan half-kneeling down and said loudly: "Binyuan is willing to lead the team." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mu showed a satisfied expression, but Liu Guanglei and everyone were like a thunderbolt in the sky. Liu Binyuan said that Liu Guanglei naturally thought that it was not the most direct and effective way for the army to go to the north, but out of fear of the northern wasteland, he subconsciously skipped this method. And Liu Binyuan also thought of this, so he deliberately asked Xiao Mu to send someone there, for the Liu family, the Northern Wasteland is a ghost and a nightmare, and for them, this errand may be more stable than going into battle to face the fierce beasts.

The only thing Liu Guanglei was dissatisfied with was that Liu Binyuan personally led the team. Just kidding, how could such a dangerous thing be allowed to go to the prince of the north in person?

But Liu Bin was far from giving him a chance to refuse, he asked for his life bluntly, and Liu Guanglei couldn't speak out against him.

Interestingly, the two sides of the previous argument were quiet, and the expressions of both sides were either relieved or more solemn, completely different. Among the two sides, only Feng Jianbei had a normal face, even with a shallow smile, looking at Liu Binyuan, who was a little cramped but resolute in the crowd.

......

Hou Yanchun casually stacked his clothes and sundries in the baggage, looked up at his location, smiled slightly, wrapped the baggage casually, and threw it on his back.

Walked out of the door and went out, passing by the guys' residences, and farther away was the warehouse, there were many guys from Fuhao firm coming and going, and when they saw Hou Yanchun, they just greeted each other very stiffly, and they couldn't say two words and said goodbye, and they couldn't even hear a few polite words in the future.

Fuhao Commercial Bank has never accepted Hou Yanchun. Hou Yanchun himself knows that although he came with a mission, he also violated the rules of many business houses, and even fell from the sky and became their top boss, he has never integrated into the system of the business bank, so he has always been just an outsider, and his departure may be what most people in the business bank want.

Outside the stable, his mount was already ready, Hou Yanchun took the reins from the horseman's hand, and turned over on the horse without saying a word.

"Shopkeeper Hu stayed. Suddenly, a voice floated with a smile.

Hou Yanchun turned around and saw a thin man with a mustache on his mouth, his lips trembled up and down, his clothes could be described as graceful and luxurious, and he slowly approached.

"What else does Shopkeeper Yang command?" Hou Yanchun seemed a little surprised by this person's arrival.

Yang Ti, the manager of Fuhao Commercial Bank in Lizhou, looked Hou Yanchun up and down, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Hu is leaving today, and he is in such a hurry that he won't even give Yang a chance to say goodbye." ”

Hou Yanchun just smiled: "Hu is self-aware, these days the dove occupies the magpie's nest, Yang shopkeeper is not to blame that there are a large number of them, Hu can't believe that everyone in the business house really recognizes me as the shopkeeper." ”

"Ushering in the send-off, making friends with people from all walks of life, not rejecting the way to make money, not exceeding the bottom line, is the way for businessmen to make money. No matter who they are, as long as there are no irreconcilable contradictions, they can become friends of the firm. Yang Ti smiled, "What's more, Shopkeeper Hu is a person sent by the big boss, this friend, Yang naturally wants to make friends." ”

Hou Yanchun glanced at Yang Ti in surprise, and then nodded: "Shopkeeper Yang is worthy of being able to do the position of the head of Lizhou, his magnanimity and vision are really extraordinary, and this is much smarter than that guy in Pingyu District." ”

"Shopkeeper Hu praised it falsely. So why did the shopkeeper leave in a hurry?"

Hou Yanchun smiled, turned the horse's head, and said: "People like us, where to go has never been decided by ourselves, it is decided by the above. ”

"Then I won't send it, there are still some things in the trading house, if you are free in the future, you might as well come here to sit and have a cup of tea." Yang Ti bowed seriously to Hou Yanchun's back on the horse.

"There is one more thing, see you in the future, you don't have to call Hu the shopkeeper. This is just a layer of skin, and Shopkeeper Yang must have seen that Hu was not born in a businessman. From beginning to end, Hu was just a soldier. ”

He kicked his horse and rode forward, muttering to himself, "It's just a soldier who can't help himself...... I'm still a little reluctant to do this errand......"
