Chapter 272: Leaving Zhongzhou
Xiao Yu shook his head, forcibly dispersed the murderous intent in his mind, knowing that he was restless today and not suitable for doing things, after letting Tang Shengyue go back, Xiao Yu pushed open the window, looked at the new sunny scenery outside after the rain, and exhaled another breath of turbidity.
Xiao Yu wants to be quiet, but it is an empty word to be entangled in mundane things, and his thoughts are always unconsciously biased to this side, after all, the autumn hunt is coming, this is Xiao Yu, as the master of the entire Northwest, is seen by the grassland Zhutaiji, a means of contacting feelings, and it is also a big exercise between the Zhongdu Army and the Grassland Army, but Xiao Yu has not rushed back to Zhongdu, Lin Yinping has returned to the royal court, if it is the autumn hunting, the only daughter princess of the previous generation of the Prairie Khan King is not there, what does this make the Prairie Zhutaiji think? For the grassland, and even the entire northwest, the position of the princess can only be sat by Lin Yinping, which cannot be replaced by other women.
Xiao Yu's top priorities now have three things, one is to arrange the follow-up matters in Zhongzhou, the second is to rush back to Zhongdu as soon as possible to start preparations for the autumn hunt, and the third is to welcome back Lin Yinping, or it can be determined that Lin Yinping will go to Zhongdu with the grassland Zhutaiji during the autumn hunting. If not, why would Xiao Yu say anything in a letter to his daughter-in-law, "The central capital and the west are all iron-clad, and great things can be done". As for the sentence, "Between heaven and earth, each has its own master." I don't have anything to lose, and I can't take anything. The man is open, his body is upright, and he does not give orders. Don't think about your wife, your husband must respect herself" is already Xiao Yu's attitude of completely bowing his head and admitting his mistakes. If this letter with his wife is synthesized into one sentence, it probably is: Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, you should come back quickly.
In the next few days, Xiao Yu recruited Sima Zhen while recuperating himself, and constantly explained the future matters, and Sima Zhen, the head of the Sima family, became more and more respectful after learning that Xiao Yu had the joint support of many families in Jiangnan led by the Jiangzuo Xie family behind him, after all, the Sima family is still a big family in Zhongzhou, but compared with a behemoth like the Jiangzuo Xie family, it is still too much worse. More importantly, Xiao Lie's attitude, this should be incompatible with Xiao Yu, but at this time the attitude is ambiguous, in Sima Zhen's view, the two are father and son after all, if Xiao Lie is really determined to leave the foundation to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, who already has the northwest, will become a dominant trend, and then integrate the north, and then have the support of the Jiangnan family, it is really a big trend, and a big event can be expected. As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, this is not that Xiao Yu has any domineering spirit, so that Sima Zhen will worship his head, but Xiao Yu is expected to be a great treasure, and he wants to ask a person who has learned from the dragon's skill to naturally flock to him. In the past, when Xiao Yu was down, was anyone willing to look at him more?
Xiao Yu and Sima Zhen both know that what he Sima Zhen wants is not too much, not too little, he does not seek to tear the soil and seal the king, but to seek the position of a national prince, from a reckless background to a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years.
Sima Zhen, who climbed step by step from the bottom to his current position, is much stronger than ordinary families, both in heart and wrist, and he doesn't need Xiao Yu to explain too much, he already understands what he wants to do.
When Sima Zhen left, it was already Shen Shi, and in the study, Xiao Yu sat alone in front of the desk for a while, he closed his eyes, as if he was meditating, and seemed to be asleep.
About half an hour later, Qu Cang pushed the door and came in, and said softly, "Lord Wang, it has been arranged." ”
Xiao Yu, who was closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes, his faint pupils glowed faintly in the dim study, and said, "Then let's go." ”
In the darkness of the night, a group of dark guards dressed in black brocade guarded a carriage and walked along the central axis of the road, which was still in ruins on both sides, towards the outside of the city.
In the vicinity of the city gate, there have been a number of horses waiting for a long time, the first to lead a horse wearing the three products of the commander of the official uniform, in this troubled era will rise, no longer the early years of the situation of the noble and lowly military, in general has been the two sides are equal, if there are a few more years, the military general who holds the military power may be able to completely overwhelm the civilian official. The top military attache is naturally the position of the metropolitan governor, and the five metropolitan governors who rely on Dazheng as the pillar stone are either dead, or rebellious, or self-reliant, each is the lord of one side, and the military general of the third grade can be regarded as the feudal official.
When the feudal official wanted to turn over and dismount, Xiao Yu lifted the curtain and said, "Don't be polite. ”
The person who came was Li Rusong, the commander of the Zhongzhou Secret Guard Mansion, who rode his horse in parallel with Xiao Yu's carriage, Li Rusong still bowed slightly on the horseback and said: "The lower official is here to see off the prince." ”
Xiao Yu sat in the car, was silent for a while, and then said: "In the future, here in Zhongzhou, I want Li Dutong to add more heart." ”
Li Rusong bowed his head slightly and said, "Where is the duty of the lower officials, don't dare to slack off." ”
Xiao Yu was silent for a long time, and only after the convoy had already walked out of the city gate did he slowly speak: "Xiao Lie's side, Li Dutong has thought about it?" ”
Li Rusong's face froze, and then he said in a firm and deep voice: "Li Rusong is only the eldest son." ”
Xiao Yu leaned against the wall of the carriage and said to himself: "Let's see if Xiao Jin has the life to return to the Eastern Capital first." ”
Li Rusong knew in his heart that the eldest prince had finally attacked the second son, after all, the second prince had made the first move, but he didn't succeed, and this time he was hit by the eldest son's backhand, which can be regarded as a "courtesy exchange", but I don't know if the second son can escape, and the disaster is Xiao Wall, and I don't know what the prime minister is going to think.
After a short silence, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Even if you go back, it doesn't matter, I heard that he has a good relationship with that Zhao Qing? ”
Li Rusong's heart trembled, remembering an old past.
Before the prince's rebellion, Fang Xuan, the mother of the Xiao family, was alive at that time, and Xiao Yu, the eldest son of the Xiao family, was also a Ya Nei-level figure who could run rampant in the eastern capital, and had a period of friction with Zhao Qing at that time. Although Zhao Qing was not well-known in the outside world at that time, he was already emerging in the Beizhen Fusi led by Xiao Lie, so that there were two sons in the Beizhen Fusi at that time, one was naturally Xiao Lie's eldest son, Xiao Yu, and the other was Xiao Lie's personal disciple Zhao Qing.
The two who should have been brothers looked at each other differently because of their youth and vigor, so that they later had a stiff quarrel. Moreover, both of them were born in secret guards, and they were not good people, and they were also quite a bit of a non-stop posture when they started to move, even to the point that Xiao Lie had to personally suppress it. Later, Xiao Yu lost power and was trapped in the Anguo Mansion, and Zhao Qing was also sent by Xiao Lie to the Northern Capital as the commander of the dark guard, and the two never crossed paths again.
Most of these old people know about these old things, and at that time it seemed that they were just two teenagers fighting each other, and when they looked at it at this time, it was a little frightening.
The little grandfather has become the king of the northwest, and Zhao Qing has also become the first person under Sun Ligong, plus a second son, Xiao Jin, this pool of muddy water is really daunting.
Li Rusong lowered his head and began to be careful with his words.
But before he could speak, Xiao Yu had already waved his hand and continued: "Back then, the children were fighting with each other, and this king didn't take it to heart, but if he was acting for the tiger, he would blame this king for not remembering the love of the year, and his subordinates were ruthless." ”
Li Rusong can only be the only promise.
After walking out for another while, Xiao Yu lowered the curtain and said calmly: "Li Dutong stays." “
This time, Li Rusong finally turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee on the side of the official road, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Li Rusong sends off the prince." ”
Xiao Yu stretched out a hand from the car window and waved it.
The carriage and the guards slowly moved away along the official road in the northwest direction in the dark night.
It wasn't until Xiao Yu's carriage was completely missing that Li Rusong got up from the ground and gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Li Ruchun, who had been far away, rushed behind Li Rusong at this time and said softly: "Big brother." ”
Li Rusong took a deep breath, turned over on the horse, turned the horse's head, and clamped the horse's belly, "Go!"
Li Rusong, who rushed back to Zhongzhou all the way, looked at the sky and whispered to himself: "After the incident in Zhongzhou, there is really no turning back for Li. ”
