The captain of the escort team is named Zhao Congfang, with a thin face and a pointed chin, and a mustache that looks quite energetic. After he saw Li Siye, he invited him to the room on the second floor of the pavilion, and the wine and food had already been prepared on the board.

Li Siye looked down and saw that the wine and food on the table were unusually rich, the mutton and roast deer leg in the water basin, as well as the sesame oil Hu cake and the shallot mixed with the pork slices, and there were a few peppers on the meat slices, and the wine turned out to be the wine of Gaochang City. The standard of living is very high, when did the captain in my Anxi army become so rich?

Captain Zhao noticed Li Siye's strange demeanor, and explained with a wry smile: "My subordinates have spent all the money in the past few months on eating and drinking, and today is the last and most sumptuous meal, please sit down and dine at the general." ”

Li Siye knelt down opposite him and said with a smile: "Then I will thank Captain Zhao for his hospitality." ”

Zhao Congfang looked tired, lifted the wine and poured Li Siye a full wine cup, and he didn't wait for Shangguan to eat first, and poured his head into his mouth. He wiped his mouth, sighed beautifully, and said to Li Siye in a mocking tone: "The general has a great future, and he has just been promoted to Zhonglang General, why did he fall into such a field like a subordinate?" You and I are sympathetic. ”

Li Siye was stunned: "What kind of field did I fall into?" ”

Zhao Congfang thought that his words were to strengthen his self-esteem, crooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, poured himself another lamp, raised his head and drank it again, and said again: "The general is facing such a crisis this time, is there a solution?" ”

Li Siye saw that this person was also a simple and pure man, so he also said with a smile: "I haven't thought of how to deal with it for the time being, but isn't this kind of thing just improvising after observing words and feelings?" ”

Zhao Congfang was stunned, and had to look at Li Siye again, picked up the wine cup and said with both hands: "The general is an open-minded person, and Zhao Congfang is ashamed of himself." But in the face of the angry Turp Shi, it's useless to improvise. He lowered his head again and complained: "I can see that an honest person like me who can't be flexible will suffer at any time." I joined the army in Anxi for ten years, and I went through several battles before I became a captain, and the people who joined the army in the same year have the same merits, and now they are all Huaihua Lang generals and Dingyuan generals. ”

Li Siye said casually: "General Huaihua Lang, what is General Dingyuan?" I have only been in Anxi for four years, and now I am a Zhonglang general. ”

Zhao Congfang's expression froze, twitched the corners of his mouth, then lifted his chopsticks and took a bite of meat, took a few bites and said: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you just rose too fast, causing the fear above, so I sent you such an unlucky errand." ”

Li Siye was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "I finally know why you have not been promoted for a long time." ”

"Why?"

"My mouth stinks."

Captain Zhao's action of chewing meat paused, and the muscles on his face stiffened, and then he put his chopsticks on the desk, and snorted: "Anyway, this errand is mostly a death, and I am not afraid of offending you, I will not lose if I can take a Zhonglang general to Huangquan together." ”

Li Siye asked him with a smile again: "Who did you offend this time and send you to do this unlucky errand?" ”

"It may be that I used to be the official Situ Nan, the official and the front team of the jumping camp to join the military, and he is also the envoy of the festival, and he should now be promoted to the right of Longyou, Hexi with Gai Zhongcheng. Because during my tenure as a lieutenant under him, my filial piety was not as much as that of others, and my sycophants were not as diligent as others, so I was placed on a side before leaving. It is also possible that the new Swinging Officer and Striker joined the military, and wanted to promote his cronies to lieutenants, and before he took office, he picked up the soft pinch of persimmons and found me a fatal errand, so that the place under my ass could be vacated. ”

The imagination is rich enough, which is afraid that the usual work pressure is high, and the delusion of victimization is suppressed.

Li Siye smiled and said: "According to what you said, you seem to be a person who has never met talents, otherwise how could you be so good that you were destroyed by the wind to this point." This time, I went to the Khan Court of Broken Leaf City to announce the decree, and you have any plans for me. ”

Zhao Congfang showed a drunken state and snorted: "What plan can I have?" With just a small idea, the general can listen to it or not. ”

"But speak."

"There are three regiments stationed in the 34th Zhichong Mansion in this big stone city, which are in charge of the city envoy and the escort officer, if the general has a good relationship with this escort officer, he can borrow the strength of a regiment from him to escort us to Broken Leaves, so that even after entering the city, the Turbuli people suddenly become angry, we can borrow the strength of a regiment to calmly withdraw in formation."

Captain Zhao then smiled again: "This is not a complete strategy, if He Moda is determined to betray the Tang Dynasty, a regiment of more than 200 people, facing tens of thousands of enemy troops in Broken Leaf City, it is estimated that they will not be able to escape." ”

Li Siye laughed, this Captain Zhao Congfang couldn't make him the slightest interest. He stretched out his hand and took a drink of wine, he stood up from the desk and said, "I have eaten and drunk enough today, and I will leave early tomorrow morning, and I will go to find the dignitaries of this big stone city." ”

Zhao Congfang sat in front of the wine case and was stunned for a long time, he just talked casually, he didn't expect that this Li Siye really wanted someone, and he could only touch his nose without the military order of the Duhu Mansion.

He left the room straight and walked out of the pavilion to the castle mansion of the Great Rock City, where he asked to meet the military and administrative officials of the Great Rock City.

The soldiers who stood guard outside the gate waved their hands at him, and immediately went to the castle tower to report.

After a while, the city envoy and the detainer personally ran to the door to greet him, and gave a hand quite respectfully: "The lowly Meng Yu will see the Holy Envoy." ”

Li Siye didn't expect that there was such a benefit in carrying the emperor's decree on his body, and he was a senior official. However, although this Mengyu official is at the same level as himself, he is just a Huaihua Lang general of the fifth grade, even if he is not a holy envoy, according to the rules, he has to salute himself.

"General Meng doesn't have to be polite."

Meng Yu personally invited him to the council hall on the upper floor of the city, which was bright and had a lot of space. Sixteen wooden doors are opened, and the outside is the battlements of the city tower, and you can see the Bodaling in the distance.

"Holy Envoy, please."

Li Siye sat down in front of the screen table on the stage, Meng Yu knelt down and said, "The Holy Envoy should go to Broken Leaf Town this time to offer a reward for the canonization of the Thorn Shi Khan." ”

"That's right," Li Siye pressed his hands on his knees and said, "The Tuqi Shi surnamed Huang is arrogant, disobedient to Wang Hua, and insatiable. It is quite risky to go to Broken Leaf to announce the canonization this time, and I hope that Huaihualang will be able to send someone to me to protect the safety of this envoy. ”

Meng Yu showed a little stunned on his face, forcibly suppressed his smile, lowered his head and said in a businesslike tone: "The location of the Great Stone City is dangerous, there must be no mistakes, and the three regiments in my city are only enough." If the Holy Envoy has an official letter of transfer issued by the Temperance Envoy, his subordinates should obey it, and if there is no military order, please forgive the rest of the people who are unable to obey their orders. ”

"What if I have an appointment?"

Meng Yu's movements froze, and he quietly raised his eyes from between his fingers with a nervous expression, looking at the expression on Li Siye's face, as if he wanted to judge the authenticity of the other party's tone.

He hesitated and said, "That...... Ask the Holy Messenger to present the decree. ”

Li Siye took out the hard paper from his arms and stretched out his hand to hand it out: "This is an order, you can take it yourself." ”

Meng Yu put his hands on his knees and gasped, as if he had received the opposite verdict as expected, but he was in disbelief. He hesitantly stood up from the ground, his slowly outstretched hand suspended in mid-air, as if this piece of paper was a red soldering iron stretched out in the air.

He finally held his breath, squeezed the note paper in his hand, and spread his hands out, his expression changed, but after all, he still suppressed the momentum of ecstasy, and the turbid breath held in his lungs slowly discharged along his nose.

"So there's only one person."
