An event that should have been serious and heroic, but because of the extraordinary relationship between the two sides of the counselor, the atmosphere suddenly became strange and had the momentum to develop into a farce.

The Northern Qi mission suddenly launched an attack, and the Southern Liang soldiers who stayed here hurriedly responded to the battle, suffering more than a dozen casualties in a very short time.

Hu Shengyou, the leader of the army who stayed here, was ashamed, but he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to gain benefits through various diplomatic balance measures between the two countries, and did not want to completely offend either side.

Therefore, although Hu Seng You was full of resentment, he did not dare to really besiege with a dead hand, and when he heard Li Tuo shouting for mercy, he ordered the soldiers to surround these Qi people in front of the temple gate and no longer order to attack.

The Qi envoy was also full of heroism, but after the fight, he found that the situation was misjudged, and there were so many armor soldiers stationed in this seemingly small temple.

Since the action has been exposed, and the gap between the enemy and the enemy is obvious, it is only a senseless sacrifice to continue fighting, especially after seeing that the Nanliang sergeant has no intention of killing them, this last trace of desperate reason is gone, so they all abandon their weapons.

Li Tuan looked at Cui Zhan in the crowd outside the door, and stopped talking, it was a joy to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign country, but if it was such a scene now, it would indeed be better not to see it, and there was no joy at all.

At present, this occasion is obviously not suitable for talking about the past, so Li Huan raised his hand and made a slight gesture to Cui Zhan, and then withdrew and retreated to the temple, so as not to look at each other like this again.

In the Jiangling Palace, Emperor Xiao Yi was still discussing with a group of important ministers how to appease the Wei envoy tomorrow and how to respond to the Qi envoy, but he didn't expect that his idea of wanting to leave the right and the right source was about to come to naught, and the envoys from both sides had already done it.

When the envoy sent by Hu Seng You reported the accident, Xiao Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and the angry one-eyed eyes glared like a small light bulb, and roared angrily: "It's too much to deceive people, it's really too much to deceive people!" The Wei envoy was arrogant, trying in vain to force me to break off the friendship, and the Qi envoy was presumptuous, and actually committed murder in my city! All deserve to die, all deserve to die! My Liang family temple is not a paradise for these murderers! ”

The reason why he bothered to negotiate and mediate between the two sides was indeed a selfish consideration, but why wasn't it because he was sympathetic to the people of the world?

Once all sides rush to war, no matter what the victory or defeat, it will always be the decision-makers in the temple who will bear the cost, but the soldiers in the ranks and the people in the countryside. Once the flames of war spread, the people will be miserable. After several years of painstaking efforts to finally quell the rebellion in the country, he was faced with a withered and dilapidated society, and he really couldn't bear to sow the war disaster in the world!

But the apostles of these two sides, one more arrogant and presumptuous than the other, and the other more ignorant than the other, all thought that they could commit murder and danger, and they did not understand his royal benevolence at all!

In an extremely resentful mood, Xiao Yi did not intend to let go of this matter easily.

After a little muttering, he spoke: "Quickly escort the envoy and his party to the state capital and confin, no orders, no food and drink!" Why the other envoys arrived at Dongcheng Temple and where they got the armor staff and equipment were all thoroughly investigated! On this night, the city guards who patrolled the streets, and the boarding home, were not allowed to let go! ”

However, as soon as he finished giving the order, someone next to him whispered: "The Qi envoy entered the city to live in the Hou of Yuning's family." ”

The Marquis of Yuning is Pei Zhiheng, and this title also reflects the beautiful vision of their Southern Liang monarchs to a certain extent, but it is a pity that now they don't count Yuning's restlessness.

Since the rebellion of Wang Lin's generals in Xiangzhou, Xiao Yi also realized that he needed to pay attention to the way he interacted with his subordinate generals, and he could no longer beat and scold and punish him as he did in previous years.

The Pei clan in Hedong was not the old part of Jiangling, and after the Hou Jing Rebellion, Huainan was gradually seized by the Northern Qi, and Pei Zhigao had no place to return before he led his troops to Jiangling to obey orders. Although Pei Zhigao has died of illness now, his brothers and disciples are all in the prime of life, and they have tens of thousands of parts, and they are also a famous family in the country that needs to be treated carefully.

Xiao Yi's expression couldn't help but froze when he heard this, it wasn't that he didn't know about it, but he was angry just now and only thought about accountability for a while, but ignored this issue.

At this time, in front of everyone's eyes, he naturally didn't want to go back on his word, so he snorted coldly: "What about the Pei family? Pei Gong is brave and resolute, and he does not conspire with Qi people, but it is difficult to ensure that the house slaves secretly communicate with Qi and mess with my law! ”

As he spoke, he ordered Wang Shengbian's son, Wang Yi, to hold his warrant and lead a team of Praetorian Guards to Pei Zhiheng's house to strictly investigate that the slaves in the house could collude with Qi people to commit murder.

After the relevant personnel arrangements on the Qi envoy's side were completed, the Wei envoy's side could not be ignored.

Although the Wei envoy began to make awkward arrangements after entering the city, it also belonged to the victim side in this story, so Xiao Yi looked at Wang Bao after thinking about it and said: "Please go to the Wei envoy to ask the Wei envoy on behalf of me, and please temporarily lead the Wei envoy into the servant shooting mansion to stay." Tomorrow, he will gather all his colleagues in the palace to set up a banquet for Wei to suppress the shock, and he will be given in the forbidden. ”

In such a situation, in fact, it is better for him to come forward to appease Wei Envoy, but he doesn't know what Wei Envoy's mood and thoughts are at the moment, if he holds a banquet in the forbidden but the other party refuses to attend, it will undoubtedly make him lose face greatly, so it is safer to let Wang Bao come forward instead of himself to ask for directions.

When Wang Bao heard this, he stood up and bowed his command, then withdrew from the hall and led his entourage and a group of forbidden troops to the temple in the east of the city.

At this time, outside the temple, a group of Qi people who had already abandoned their weapons had been led to the state capital by the envoys who arrived first, and the leader Hu Seng You remained here and did not dare to slack off.

It wasn't until Wang Bao arrived here with the emperor's warrant that Hu Shengyou breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent this hot potato out. Immediately, he entered with Wang Bao and advised Li Lian to stop being willful and stubborn.

After discussing with Liu Guangde, he finally nodded and agreed to leave the temple and follow Wang Bao to his home to stay temporarily.

Wang Bao knew that Li Lian had an extraordinary relationship with General Li, and he was also very close to him. Not to mention, in addition to the land in his family house in Jiangling, which was given by Emperor Xiao Yi, the rest of the house, whether it was the renovation of the hall or the food and drink of the family in the house, was mostly gifted from the north. Coupled with the idea of Mu Qiang in his heart, even if the emperor does not express his position on reimbursement of public funds, he must make General Li's cousin feel at home!

After this warm courtesy, when Li Lian sat down and fell asleep in Wang Bao's guest house, it was already late at night. Fortunately, there were no accidents for the rest of the night, and Li Lian was able to sleep until dawn, very refreshed.

He had just gotten up here, and the servants of the Wang family, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly went to inform their master. Wang Bao also got up early in the morning, and was instructing the domestic slaves to distribute invitations according to the request of His Majesty the Emperor, inviting the noble courtiers in the city to come here. When he learned that Li Lian had gotten up, Wang Bao hurriedly came to greet and accompany Li Lian to have breakfast together, which can be described as a thoughtful courtesy.

When he heard Wang Bao talk about the banquet arrangements in the afternoon, Li Lian didn't say much. Yesterday he said that he was going to leave the city today, but that was also a deliberate gesture, and he didn't understand what Southern Liang and Northern Qi were plotting, so of course he wouldn't leave. Especially last night, it was not clear that he was assassinated by Qi Envoy, and among the assassins was Cui Zhan, a person who could be called a close relative and friend, and these things also need to wait for a result.

When it comes to going into battle to kill the enemy or bow to government affairs, the courtiers of Nanliang may still shirk it, but they will not refuse to come to activities such as eating, drinking, and banquets, especially entertaining the big money lord from the north of the country, so they are naturally even more happy.

Although the banquet was scheduled in the early afternoon, there were guests visiting in the morning. After all, there was no shortage of courtiers present when the emperor ordered Wang Bao last night, and today they came uninvited.

Wang Bao didn't know what Li Huan's intentions were, but judging from his attitude since he entered the city yesterday, he was not a good person to get along with, so he didn't turn away these guests who took the initiative to come together, but all stayed, hoping that someone among them could compliment Li Lian and entertain him.

By the afternoon, the guests in Wang Bao's guest hall were already full, and seeing so many guests coming, he couldn't help but be a little worried about whether Li Lian would feel a little noisy, so he apprehensively invited Li Lian to sit down in the hall, and peeked at his chatting and laughing, laughing and laughing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Quan is not a withdrawn and introverted person, on the contrary, he is also very good at interpersonal communication, and has a good memory, not only outstanding demeanor, yesterday's posture is for a reason, today there is no need to continue to shake his face, but to show more friendly side, so as to contrast with the arbitrary envoys of the Northern Qi.

So when everyone on both sides has a good relationship, the atmosphere of today's banquet is also very good. Li Quan's performance today is not to mention whether there is a contrast with his cousin Cui Zhan, anyway, it is quite a contrast with himself yesterday. Or because of the previous impression, today's Li Quan's polite attitude fell in the eyes of everyone in Nanliang, which was doubly kind, making people feel like a spring breeze, and his demeanor and bearing also won unanimous praise from the people in the hall.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere of the banquet, Li Lian also took the opportunity to put forward a request to introduce Yao Seng Yuan to him when he was present, and his words inevitably involved the matter that General Li would have an heir, so he was unanimously congratulated by the crowd in the hall.

It's just that Yao Shengyuan is not in vain in Jiangling now, and although Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang is often killed and punished by his subordinates, he is still very responsible for his own health. Soon after the doctor Yao Seng Yuan arrived in Jiangling, he appointed him as a great doctor and a regular attendant, and he could not step out of the country casually.

The emperor Xiao Yi in the inner garden has also been paying attention, and soon learned of Li Huan's request, and his heartstrings, which had been tense, couldn't help but loosen slightly, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you have asked me, then there is still a chance for the better." Li Boshan broke the festival to marry the family of the soldiers of his country, and then he was able to take charge of the soldiers of the six towns after the famous clan, and this heir must be very important to him, so he generously invited famous foreign doctors. If I seek the towns of Xiakou with them on this basis, I don't know what he should do? ”

"Your Majesty, this plan must not be allowed! Even if Yao is not sent to ride north, he cannot be coerced on this basis. Even if Yao Sanqi can't do it, it won't stop Li Boshan from getting an heir. But if I threaten it on this basis, I will have a deep grudge, and it will not be added by swords! ”

The right servant of Shangshu in the middle of the court shot Zhang Huang heard Xiao Yi make this calculation, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi replied: "It's just a joke, my country's gold is all wrong, how can we coerce small things in the human womb to get it well." It's just that Wei Envoy is too arrogant, which makes me unhappy, how can I make Yao scatter and ride lightly! ”

Xiao Yizheng was distracted by not knowing how to appease the Wei envoy who was almost assassinated, and when he learned that the other party had this need, he thought about using this to counter the other party and regain the dominance of the dialogue.
