But as soon as Xiao Chen came, the problem of external aggression was solved.

It seems that this kid really didn't want to rebel, otherwise he wouldn't have come to kill him!

Not only did he come, but he also resolutely stated that he would defend me against foreign enemies...... Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, I can't see through you more and more now.

Have you really always been loyal to me?

If that's the case, I'm really sorry for you.

Xiao Chen is here, and his external worries can be solved, but he has to solve the troubles of his henchmen himself......

Before saying goodbye to the palace, Xiao Chen deliberately went around Kunning Palace to take a look, saying that the queen was taking a bath after eating a bowl of white porridge and drinking a bowl of ginseng soup......

Danqiu was safe and sound, and Xiao Chen was in a good mood.

Gong Shouli, who followed him all the way out of the palace to visit Ling'er, also had a much kinder attitude, and even took the initiative to chat and chat, "Old Gong, you don't live in the palace now?" ”

"It's your business!" Gong Shouli said.

"Of course it's my business, if I hadn't helped, how could you be here today?" Xiao Chen said.

"Have a fart relationship with you? That's all the help of the dean of Shangguan. Although Gong Shouli spent a huge sum of 300,000 taels of silver, he felt that this was the most valuable money in his life.

I was very grateful to the fat man in my heart, especially after coming back to regain his strength, so that the concubines in the family were very affectionate to him, and when he finally realized the joy of being a real man, he was even more embarrassed, so that he burst into tears......

I can't wait to set up a shrine for him and worship him every day...... I went to Xiao Chen's house, not only to see Ling'er, but also to see the fat man.

It really has nothing to do with Xiao Chen.

"If you don't say that you kid doesn't know gratitude at all, the fat man helped you, so I didn't help? What's the matter, when you were in Yanyun, you ate and drank Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu still lived in Lao Tzu's house...... And now you say it has nothing to do with me? Next time, if you have another illness, disaster, don't look for me! Xiao Chen said.

"You kid really don't plan to rebel?" Gong Shouli suddenly asked.

"It's your business." Xiao Chen's original words were returned.

"This really isn't my business, but ......" Gong Shouli stopped talking.

"But what?" Xiao Chen asked.

"But the weather is getting colder and colder, hehehe, it's really cool and autumn!" Gong Shouli said.

"Mu Monkey and crown, pretend to be a reader with me!" Xiao Chen said.

Back at home, while Ling'er and the fat man were talking to Gong Shouli, Xiao Chen came out to find Xiao Yu, told him all about the conversation he had with Li Wanjiang in the palace just now, and asked him to send someone back immediately.

"Is there any letter from Old Marquis Murong Heng?" After explaining, I remembered that Murong Heng came, and the old marquis learned that his daughter was seriously ill, but he was afraid that he would rush to Fengyang desperately.

"The brother who contacted him just now said that the old marquis has already set off, and now on the way, most of them have arrived in Langya County, since the queen is very good, then I will send someone to stop him now?" Xiao Yu said.

"Uh...... Even if the old marquis enters Beijing at this moment, Li Wanjiang will not do anything to him, and now he doesn't want chaos in the Western Regions, if the old marquis suddenly turns back halfway, I am afraid that it will be easier to make Li Wanjiang suspicious...... In this way, you send someone to explain the situation to the old marquis, whether to come or go, and let him decide for himself. Xiao Chen said.

"Yes." Xiao Yu took the order.

"What is the current situation of Lin Dongyang's family?" Xiao Chen asked again.

"Still living on Ningyuan Street, the home of the convict must be in a miserable situation, and their houses and properties in Jiangdong have all been confiscated, and they are homeless...... Even if they have a home, they don't dare to go back, and besides, they still have to wait for Xin'er in Beijing, in case Lin Dongyang is killed, they have to collect the body. Xiao Yu said.

"I'm afraid that there will be an enemy to bully and retaliate, have you sent someone to guard it?" Xiao Chen said.

"Our Xuanyiwei brothers are not good at coming out clearly, I found a friend to help watch, and he will come to inform us if there is something." Xiao Yu said.

"What friend, is it reliable?" Xiao Chen said.

"Hehe, you also know the boss, it's the scar on Ningyuan Street, he is a person who mixes the ground, all kinds of news are quite well-informed, and he is even clearer on Ningyuan Street...... That's his territory. Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Hehe, what kind of scar is that...... By the way, did Granny Yan come back? Xiao Chen asked.

"No, Scar said that the old lady was elusive, and she didn't know what to come from or when to leave." Xiao Yu said, "She is still taken care of by Master Scar at home." ”

"Where's Zhang Jiuzhi?" Xiao Chen nodded and asked again.

"I haven't come back." Xiao Yu said.

"These old-timers don't know what they're busy with day by day?" Xiao Chen said, "When I have nothing to do, I always come out to hang around, and I ask them when I am in a hurry, but I can't see any of them!" ”

While the two were talking, they saw Gong Shouli staggering out and walking out, politely as he walked, "Dean Shangguan stays, you don't need to send it, I will set up a banquet at home another day to invite you, you must come to appreciate your face, Ling'er Xiao Ye also goes, this Lord Xiao, if you are free, you might as well come and join in the fun." ”

In other words, they didn't plan to invite him at all.

"Just go? Shall we have some drinks and talk for a while? Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"If you want to drink, you'll have to do it another day." Gong Shouli said, "Later, you will have a special door here, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to see those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!" ”

The news of Xiao Chen's return to Beijing will spread soon, but I am afraid that many people will know that he may be made a marquis, and someone will definitely come to visit him later, and I am afraid that it will be someone at the level of a prince and minister, and at this very sensitive time, Gong Shouli is not willing to mess with them.

Said that he wouldn't shy away from Xiao Chen's coming?

There is really no need to avoid it, because firstly, it is well known that he and Xiao Chen are mortal enemies, secondly, the emperor also knows about his partnership with Ling'er to open a factory, and thirdly, the Shangguan of the family has a great kindness to him, and it is also human nature to thank him.

So he didn't have any problems coming to Xiao Chen's house, as long as he went back and told the emperor...... Belong to the audience to observe.

This is the advantage of being Xiao Chen's opponent, if the two are friends, it will not be possible to get along so closely.

Of course, although Xiao Chen has a lot of enemies in the court, he also has many friends, as Gong Shouli expected, as soon as he left, someone immediately came to worship.

The first is Zhu Xiaochuan Xiao Chen's good big brother.

Seeing Xiao Chen coming out and saluting, he immediately came over and hugged him, "Hahaha, Brother Xiao, it's okay for my brother to be worshiped by you in the past, but now it's not the same as in the past, if you speak, you will be a marquis, and my brother and I will be on an equal footing, and if you worship again, it won't be like words, and it's not easy to meet when you turn back, hahaha!" "I laughed heartily.

"I, Xiao Chen, don't say if I can be a marquis, even if I become a grandfather, you will always be my eldest brother!" Xiao Chen still insisted on bowing for a while, and then he entered with him arm-in-arm and laughing.

It's as if everything was like before, nothing happened.

It wasn't until they had finished sitting down and looked at each other that they suddenly fell into an awkward silence......
