Chapter Ninety-Three: The Third Cup of Wine

That's it, Ye Sili put away the scroll, looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Just for this today?" ”

Xiao Yu sent a message to her to come to the Thousand Spirits Palace for a gathering, what happened?

Feeling Ye Sili's exploratory gaze, Xiao Yu sat down angrily, "What do you mean just for this?" This is the tenth form of 'Sauvignon Blanc'! How many people are rushing to ask for it, but you don't know how to cherish it one by one. ”

He originally thought that his two younger sisters had been learning 'Sauvignon Blanc' since childhood, because there had been little progress in the tenth style over the years, so as soon as he got this picture scroll, he immediately brought it, although he didn't say that he had to listen to praise and praise one or two, at least there was always hard work, right? Who knew that these two people were not half grateful.

Ye Sili handed Xiao Ling a look with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and with the love between the two for many years, Xiao Ling immediately smiled and grabbed his brother's arm, and said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, what the fourth brother said is very true." Turning his head and criticizing his sisters, "Si Li, how can you be like this?" This picture scroll is not easy to come by, it must have taken a lot of effort for the fourth brother to find, and it must be cherished, remember? ”

Xiao Ling turned his head, got up with a smile and massaged Xiao Yu's shoulder, "It's really hard fourth brother, fourth brother has great powers, I don't know if I found something else to share with my sisters today?" ”

Xiao Yu is quite affected by this set, "Naturally, there is." ”

"Tell me about it." Xiao Ling, who was behind him, immediately stopped his work, turned around and sat in his place, waiting for him to say the following with wide eyes.

"......" looked at the reactions of the two people in front of him, and he was really tricked again.

"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything with you." Xiao Yu took a sip of tea, and after confirming that there was no one around, he whispered: "Grapevine, Liang Guo is going to fight with Da Zhou." ”

"What?"

“!!!”

Ye Sili and Xiao Ling were startled, and the decibel instantly rose several degrees, so frightened that Xiao Yu hurriedly motioned for the two to be silent, looked around again, and then beckoned, signaling the two to come forward.

Ye Sili was puzzled: "Where did you hear the news?" But something happened on the border between the two countries? ”

Xiao Yu lowered his voice, "The soldiers and horses of the two countries have not moved, but I heard that Liang Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, just captured a Liang State spy two days ago, but unfortunately the spy committed suicide." ”

Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something had happened, wasn't it just catching an undercover agent?" Fourth brother, do you really think that the deployment of Da Zhou is seamless and can't fly a few flies? ”

If Da Zhou can't even find a spy from another country, then there will be a big problem.

Xiao Yu casually picked up the folding fan and tapped Xiao Ling's head, "How many times have I told you to use your little head melon seeds on weekdays?" Is this an ordinary spy? ”

Xiao Ling pouted and rubbed his head, and looked at Ye Sili with an aggrieved look.

Ye Sili had a calm face and explained in an orderly manner: "Half a month ago, the emperor sent Ah Wei to lead his troops out with great fanfare, firstly to test Cheng Anhou's reaction, and secondly, to kill chickens and set an example to deter Cheng Anhou's backers. ”

"Now that Ah Wei has just arrived in Lianyuan County, the spies of Liang Guo have made a move in the capital, which shows that ......"

Xiao Ling said incredulously: "Cheng Anhou colluded with Liang Guo??? ”

"Smack!" Xiao Yu's folding fan fell in the palm of his hand, "It's exactly what I guessed." ”

Xiao Ling said nervously: "The Liang State is strong, if Cheng Anhou really colludes with it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my Great Zhou to be hostile." ”

Xiao Yu saw that his sister was so nervous, and said in a relaxed and relieved tone: "Don't worry too much, this is nothing more than my unauthorized speculation, and I can't count them." What's more, the Liang Kingdom is strong, and my Da Zhou may not be weak, so you can relax and be your fifth princess. ”

She has always trusted Xiao Yu, and hearing him say this, Xiao Ling was also a lot relieved, only to see Ye Sili's eyes sinking slightly, and she no longer made a sound.

Cheng Anhou occupies a corner, has been a general for generations, holds military power and makes good use of the art of war, and is scheming, if Ah Wei is not fully sure of him, and now Liang Guo is mixed in, I am afraid that Ah Wei's situation is even more difficult.

"That's what I've come to you to talk about today." Xiao Yu noticed Ye Sili's expression, "Originally, these political affairs of the DPRK and China should not be told to you, but after all, Liwu is a brother who grew up with us, if the matter between Liang Guo and Cheng Anhou is true, he is afraid that it will be very dangerous for him to be alone in Lianyuan County." ”

Ye Sili thought for a long time, slowly took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Yu with a serious expression, and said, "He is not alone, there must be Bai Yibao." ”

“……”

Lianyuan County, Cheng'an Hou Mansion.

The singing and dancing in the house is level, and the banquet is full of good wine and food.

"Come on, come on, Ben Hou will introduce to you, this is the Huaihua general of the Holy Qinfeng, and now he is ordered to come, one to help me put down the chaos in Lianyuan County, and the other to help me develop Lianyuan County, which can be described as a young and promising."

The person in the throne is over the age of six, but his face is spirited, and his speech is full of energy, and he does not show his old age at half a point.

After his introduction, the official who was originally smiling also lowered his face at this moment.

"Cheng Anhou has a way to govern the army, where is there violence/chaos in Lianyuan County?"

"That's right, the people of Lianyuan County are even more blessed by the Hou Ye, and they have lived and worked in peace and contentment for many years, self-sufficient, although the development of Lianyuan County is not as good as the capital, but it is also affected by geography, how can the development be slow?"

"Now that the DPRK and China have sent a general here, don't they feel that we are not in their position, so they deliberately found someone to arrange for us?"

When the Ye, Gu, and Cheng families started a business for the first emperor, and when the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, the first emperor placed Cheng Anhou's family in the remote Lianyuan County.

Although it is located in a remote place, Cheng Anhou has a heavy army, and the court is naturally jealous, so Rao is Cheng Anhou changed the official title of Lianyuan County to a hereditary system, committing the taboo of the Son of Heaven, and the court can only turn a blind eye, after all, it is easy to beat people, right?

Moreover, Cheng Anhou is a person who values affection and righteousness, and as soon as he arrived in Lianyuan County, he appointed all his powerful subordinates as officials in the county.

Gu Liwu glanced at it lightly, most of the officials present today were people who accompanied Cheng Anhou from birth to death.

Listening to the subordinates pointing and pointing, Cheng Anhou looked at Gu Liwu without changing his face.

Gu Liwu's fingers moved slightly, and Bai Yi skillfully poured wine into Gu Liwu's cup.

"That's not true."

Gu Liwu picked up his wine glass, neither humble nor arrogant, "Although Gu Mou came here by the will of the Holy God this time, but the life of the people in the city has been safe and orderly in the past two days, Gu Mou has seen it in his eyes, thanks to the dedication of the Hou Ye and you, your intentions Gu Mou will definitely convey to the Holy Lord in the slightest." ”

"Hou Ye uses soldiers like a god, naturally he doesn't dare to make trouble under the nose of Hou Ye, so thinking about it, the middle of the court received a fold every year and said, 'Lianyuan County is disturbed by mountain bandits and Zhou State, and the county officials are incompetent in suppression' The matter may be a false report, Gu will definitely report to the court and return your innocence."

"It just so happens that the imperial court doesn't have to send large sums of materials every year to support Lianyuan County, but it also saves the expenses of the court and the central government, Gu Mou has thanked you here in advance."

After that, Gu Liwei ignored the stunned eyes around him, and indifferently drank the wine in the cup.

"You ......"

Bai Yi stepped forward to pour a full amount of wine, Gu Liwu picked up the wine glass, and slowly spoke:

"Although Lianyuan County is located in a remote area, in just a few decades, the development of the county is not inferior to the small towns around Kyoto, which must be attributed to your wisdom."

"Since you are in your position, you must have some opinion on this. It just so happens that the terrain of Dazhou is vast, and there are still many states and counties that have difficulties in development, so Gu will present a letter and ask you to help assist in the development of other places......"

"Don't come nonsense." Some people couldn't sit still.

Gu Li glanced at the person in the main position, and said lightly: "Gu Mou has thanked you for the people of those states and counties who are remote and have been suffering from disasters all year round. ”

With that, he drank the wine in his cup, completely ignoring the sighs in the banquet.

"This third glass of wine ......"

Gu Lifang raised his wine glass and listened to the person in the throne clear his throat.

He put down his glass, his eyes slowly turned to the main seat and looked at him, and there was silence for a while, no one dared to act rashly, only to keep his eyes on the two of them, trying to see some clues.

Cheng Anhou is old and steady, and at the moment he is silent and full of shock, and his wrinkled face is the ruthlessness of galloping on the battlefield.

Completely different from it is an indifferent look of Gu Liwu, his eyebrows and eyes are stretched, revealing the calmness of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his right hand is naturally placed on the table, seemingly casually slowly playing with the wine glass, even if he looks at Cheng Anhou, who has killed in all directions, his aura is not weak at all.

There was silence for a long time during the banquet, only to hear Cheng Anhou laugh and say: "General Gu did this at a young age, which should not be underestimated." ”

Gu Liwu chuckled, "Master Hou praises falsely." ”

"But since General Gu is here to help me this time, then we can discuss all affairs, and the Holy Lord will worry about state affairs every day, don't use the trivial matters in the county to make the Holy Lord worry, General Gu, do you say yes or no?"

Cheng Anhou had a smile on his face, but the officials at the banquet were naturally familiar with his actions, and they all stared at Gu Liwu vigilantly.

Gu Liwu glanced at everyone, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his voice was gentle: "What Hou Ye said is very true, if we can solve such a trivial matter by ourselves, why do we need to work hard." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Anhou laughed and raised his full wine glass, "General Gu really sees it better than others!" ”

Seeing this, everyone at the banquet raised their wine glasses.

Gu Li glanced at the wine in the glass, and said, "Hou Ye is far more than Gu Mou thinks about the overall situation. ”

At the end of the banquet, Gu Liwu and Bai Yi did not take the carriage back, but changed to walking.

Bai Yi looked at the closed shops on both sides of the street, and said: "Childe, according to our observation in the past few days, the people of Lianyuan County are indeed doing well, and it seems that Cheng Anhou does have good intentions to govern. ”

"It would be excellent if the people lived and worked in peace and contentment." Gu Li walked slowly, looking like he was eating after a meal.

Cheng Anhou specially cleaned up a mansion for Gu Liwu and them, but it was not far from Cheng Anhou's mansion.

"Childe, it's here." Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes as soon as he looked at the guards standing at the door, isn't this naked surveillance?

Gu Liwu didn't say much, walked straight forward, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around and walked to the corner of the wall.
