Before Jia Huan could answer, Li Cunmiao took the lead in saluting very politely: "Under Li Cunmiao, I have seen senior brother." ”

Jia Huan didn't know that Li Cunmiao had worshiped Xue Yang as a teacher, but out of politeness, he hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to be, Guangjin has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and he has come to share the same name, and I hope His Royal Highness will take care of him." ”

Guangjin is Jia Huan's word, and Chen Qiuming has not reached the weak crown, and there is no word.

Chen Qiuming introduced: "The master has accepted Yazi as a registered disciple, and now it is also a family. Yazi is determined to sweep the world and create a prosperous world, I have made up my mind to assist him, I wonder if my senior brother is willing to join the gang? ”

Jia Huan first met Li Cunmiao again with the gift of a teacher, and then said, "Join in? This word is new, I have now moved most of the belongings of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, do you think I am willing to join the family? ”

Li Cunmiao and Chen Qiuming were overjoyed when they heard this, and while letting Wujian start to settle the convoy brought by Jia Huan, they welcomed Jia into the mansion.

After Jia Huan sat down, Chen Qiuming asked about the situation of Chengdu Mansion and Uncle Li, and in the letter, Chen Qiuming expressed his intention to ask Jia Huan to bring Uncle Li to Luzhou, but it was obvious that Uncle Li did not follow Jia Huan this time.

Jia Huan had long known that Chen Qiuming had this question, and said with a wry smile: "Not long before I returned to Chengdu Mansion, your eldest brother called your Uncle Li back to Chen's house because of the shares of the distillery, and severely injured him. ”

Before Jia Huan finished speaking, Chen Qiuming's body had already erupted with a terrifying momentum, and his fists were clenched so loudly that even Li Cunmiao was startled. Jia Huan continued to smile bitterly and said: "If someone else hurts Uncle Li, I don't need you to make a move, my Tianlian Sect would have filed the other party's bones to ashes, but your eldest brother led the hand of the person, and my father was not easy to deal with, so he only protected your Uncle Li, and asked me to tell you, when Uncle Li's injury improves, I will send someone to escort him to Luzhou." ”

Chen Qiuming scolded secretly after hearing this, kiss a fart! He is not the dead ghost of the Chen family, how can he have half a family relationship with the Chen family? Since the crossing, only a few people such as Uncle Li and Xue Yang have felt warmth.

But Chen Qiuming didn't blame the father and son of the Jia family, this kind of family matter is really difficult for outsiders to handle.

Chen Qiuming asked again, "How is Uncle Li's injury?" ”

Jia Huan replied: "Under my father's treatment, there is no major problem,"

After a moment of silence, Chen Qiuming said: "When this matter is held at the sect conference the year after tomorrow, I will personally go back to deal with it, and if I dare to hurt my Uncle Li, I will make Chen Jin pay the price." ”

It was the first time Li Cunmiao had heard of Chen Qiuming's family background, and he also felt that the relationship between Chen Qiuming and his family was not harmonious, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he diverted the topic and said: "Senior Brother Jia came to help today, Yazi is grateful, you talk first, I'll arrange a dinner, and I will rest when I get drunk tonight!" ”

After Li Cunmiao went out, Chen Qiuming asked again: "Luo Xiaoxiao is now in Chengdu Mansion?" What's the trend? ”

Jia Huan smiled bitterly again when she heard this, and replied: "She has now subdued many people from the Holy Gate, and she has a great influence in Shu and Nanzhao. Before leaving, she found me and asked me to bring you a message: the days are long and the time is endless, and this hatred is endless! ”

This time, it was Chen Qiuming's turn to smile bitterly.

In fact, Luo Xiaoxiao was just dissatisfied with Chen Qiuming abandoning her in Yangzhou last time, and he didn't bring her with him to Luzhou this time, so he gave Chen Qiuming cruel words through Jia Huan. It means that the surname Chen, the old lady has shown you the soles of her feet, and you kissed me, but now you are ignoring me.

But Chen Qiuming didn't understand it like this, he thought that he would rather assist Li Cunmiao than assist her, so she was angry and cruel.

In addition, for the positioning of the relationship between the two, Chen Qiuming is also different from Luo Xiaoxiao, in his opinion, everyone is a child of the rivers and lakes, what is a little intimate contact? Don't talk about kissing, even if you go around and fork, it's normal to part ways, right? After all, the Tao is not the same!

So after smiling bitterly, he sighed inwardly and said, "Let her go!" ”

That night, Chen Qiuming, Li Cunxuan, Jia Huan, Wujian and others drank and talked happily, and Jia Huan happily accepted the 9,000 shares of the Royal Trading Company and the position of the secretary general of the board of directors, and Wujian automatically abdicated to make way for Xian.

said that it was the secretary general, in fact, Chen Qiuming handed over the operation of the business to Jia Huan, and with Chen Qiuming's plan, Jia Huan could handle everything properly.

In later generations, Jia Huan is also the best professional manager.

Luzhou is busy here, but Yang Shihou can't understand it.

Yang Shihou has been paying close attention to the movements of Luzhou and Li Cunqiao and others, and just heard the report from his subordinates, Luzhou actually summoned thousands of laborers to start building the city.

Building a city?

Is this worried that the old man will capture Luzhou? No, Luzhou City not only has 70,000 or 80,000 Jin troops, but also has a strong city with thick walls, and he only has 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, where can he capture Luzhou?

After Yang Shihou returned to Zezhou, after a period of operation, he thought that he had more than enough self-preservation, but his attack power was insufficient, and if he wanted to capture Luzhou, unless Zhu Wen added another 50,000 elite soldiers to him, he would never act rashly.

Although he was a little incomprehensible to Li Cunmiao's actions, Yang Shihou's evaluation of Li Cunmiao was downgraded, and when he first led the army north last year, he was very jealous of Li Cunmiao.

is not only afraid of the powerful cavalry in Li Cunqing's hands, but also afraid of Li Cunqing's brilliant achievements. If he were Li Cunxuan, he would definitely take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Liang army to launch an offensive, and it would be difficult for the Liang army to resist at that time.

But what I didn't expect was that Li Cunmiao not only did not launch an attack, but also built the city. Isn't the existing city enough?

Thinking of Li Keyong's envoy to Luoyang last year to make peace, Yang Shihou guessed that seeking peace may be Li Keyong's opinion, and Li Cunqiao may just be helpless to carry it out.

Thinking of this, Yang Shihou smiled proudly, let you Li Cunqiao be a hero, but you have to obey Li Keyong's military orders, and the opportunity will not come again, if you want to fight the old man's idea now, it is not so easy.

Like Yang Shihou, Zhu Wen is also paying close attention to the movements in Luzhou, and is also puzzled by Li Cunmiao's move to build the city, but unlike Yang Shihou, Zhu Wen is more jealous of the combination of Li Cunqiao and Chen Qiuming.

Although now the Liang and Jin families have made a contract not to attack each other, trade with each other, and coexist peacefully, how can a tyrant like Zhu Wen put a contract in his eyes?

Zhu Wen knows quite well that with his and Li Ke's grievances for many years, the two countries are destined to have a life-and-death ending, and now there is a short-term peace, but both sides are accumulating strength, waiting to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Originally, Zhu Wen thought that the Liang State had a vast territory, a large population, and sufficient money and food, as long as he waited for a year or two to train strong soldiers, the Jin State was definitely not the opponent of the Liang State. But now, Chen Qiuming of the Demon Gate is assisting Li Cunxuan, and Xue Yang has been promoted to the Grand Master, which has greatly reduced Zhu Wen's confidence.

For Chen Qiuming, Zhu Wen is also very jealous, although the two have not met directly, Chen Qiuming has already ruined him a lot of big things.

Jing Xiang saw Zhu Wen's worries, and took the initiative to offer a plan: "Your Majesty, the chips of the Demon Gate are all pressed on Li Cunmiao, but if Li Cunmiao can't become the next King of Jin, the threat from the north, then there is no need to worry." ”

When Zhu Wen heard this, he was puzzled: "Li Keyong that old thief only has one son, Li Cunmiao, who else can the next Jin King not be Li Cunmiao?" ”

Jing Xiang smiled confidently: "There is only one son of Li Cunqiao, but there are many godsons, in addition, Li Cunqiao and his uncle Li Kening, these people all have military power, and none of them are easy people." ”

"If Li Keyong dies suddenly, can these people be willing to bow down to Li Cunqiao, who is far away in Luzhou? I don't think so. Therefore, as long as the means are appropriate, the throne of the Jin State will never fall into the hands of Li Cunqiao, and it can also cause civil strife in the Jin State at the very least. ”

"Even if Li Cunmiao can quell the rebellion, it will greatly consume the strength of the Jin State and buy more time for my Liang State; If Li Cunmiao fails, it will be even more perfect, and the object of the Demon Gate's loss of assistance is only a Jianghu sect, which will not have much impact on His Majesty's great cause. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Wen stroked his beard and said with a smug smile: "Cheng's grasp of people's hearts is extremely accurate, if Li Keyong suddenly dies and fabricates a fake edict, Li Cunhao, Li Cunshi, Li Siyuan and even Li Kening will have a chance to inherit the throne, and when Li Cunqiao learns the news, everything has become a foregone conclusion, even if Li Cunqiao is unwilling, he can only be helpless." ”

Jing Xiang shook his head and said: "In this way, Li Cunmiao will inevitably rebel, even if Li Cunmiao is willing, the Demon Gate will not be willing, otherwise it will not be a bamboo basket to draw water?" But how many people are willing to follow Li Cunqiao to rebel, and what the final outcome will be, can only depend on the will of God. But in any case, it is always in great favor for my Liang country. ”

Zhu Wen also agreed with Jing Xiang's judgment, and continued: "At that time, there will be civil strife in the Jin Kingdom, and there will be more choices for my Liang State, whether it is to win over the people of the Jin State or to take advantage of the emptiness of Luzhou's troops to enter the void, there is a lot to be done." This matter is not urgent, you and I still slowly consider the specific details, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

In the spring of the fifth year of Tianyou, there was a strange tranquility on the border of Liang and Jin, which were originally the most likely to fight for life and death, but on the land of China, the war elsewhere was intensifying.

Let's talk about the north first, as soon as spring begins, Li Sijian and Han Xun will fight in the west of the Jin Kingdom.

The life experience of Li Sigong and Li Keyong, the king of Jin, is highly similar, and their surnames are Tuoba, one is the Dangxiang clan and the other is the Shatuo clan, both of whom made great contributions in quelling the Huangchao Rebellion, and they were all changed to the surname "Li" by the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Sigong's death, his younger brother Li Sijian inherited the envoy of the Dingyan Festival, and Li Yuanhao, who was famous in later generations to create the Western Xia Dynasty, is the direct descendant of Li Siji.

Li Siji's ambition is much greater than that of his brother, and looking at the powerful Jin State next to him, he surrendered on the surface, but he was quite unconvinced in his heart. Back then, the strength of the Tuoba Li family and the Zhu Xie Li family was about the same, and the merits they made were similar, why could he Zhu Xie Li family establish the Jin State as the emperor, and their Tuoba Li family was only a festival envoy, only holding the land of several states?
