Chapter 32: Wishful Thinking Played Really Well
The Li family had just arrived in Yangzhou Mansion, and before they had a chance to sit down and have a sip of tea, Qi Hong was in a hurry to send people back!
If this is left in the past, you can't wait for good wine and food, and stay for ten days and half a month?
Li Anshi was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Qi Hong.
"Please, two!"
Yang Heng stepped forward and said to them.
No matter how reluctant they were, Li Anshi and Chen Zhen could only leave with their tails between their legs.
Seeing this, Li Huijun hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Daddy, you came in a hurry, and you left in a hurry, I don't know what the situation is at home?" ”
"Everything is fine, you don't have to worry, if you are short of money, I will send someone to send a letter, and then you can prepare some demolition people to send back!"
Li Anshi waved his hand and said with a gloomy face.
The two left the military mansion and got into the carriage back, and disappeared in front of Li Huijun's eyes.
The difference is that Li Qiuzu is so excited at the moment that he can't wait to join Qi Hong's army immediately.
"I'm ambitious, just to go into battle to kill the enemy, I don't know when I will be able to hold weapons and fight side by side with the soldiers?"
Li Qiuzu came to Yu Xuan, with a pair of expectant eyes, exuding the fire of desire.
Hearing this, Yu Xuan smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, you have only passed my first round of trials now, and there are still many levels waiting for you in the future, if you can grit your teeth and persevere, it will not be too late to be included in the military camp at that time!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Keyong has given me permission to ......"
"There is no war right now, even if you enter the barracks, you can't do anything!" Yu Xuan interrupted his later words.
Li Qiuzu just wanted to intercede with Qi Hong, but Qi Hong got up instantly and left the hall.
That night.
Qi Hong realized the freedom to drink and talk, but the object was not his generals, but Qi Chengfei, the Marquis of Haining.
"You haven't told me what happened to your sudden visit today?"
Qi Hong poured him a glass of wine and asked softly.
The taste of this wine is amazing, Qi Hong has already experienced it last time, and before serving the wine, he let the next person mix it with water.
So Qi Chengfei drank and drank, and the expression on his face was a little tense.
"Before I say that, I have to ask, why does His Royal Highness King Yong's wine feel a little dull when he drinks?" Qi Chengfei pursed his mouth, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he put down the wine glass.
Qi Hong almost laughed out loud, but he still held back.
"I may have bought a fake wine, and I don't taste good when I drink it!"
"In that case, then I'll dismantle someone and send some good wine, and throw away all these things that can't go into my throat!"
Qi Chengfei had no doubts.
Immediately, he put down his chopsticks and continued: "I heard some news that the emperor has lifted the punishment of the crown prince's grounding and is preparing for him to attack several small countries in the neighborhood!" ”
"Oh? This small neighboring country has not made any moves for several years, why did the emperor suddenly take an interest in them? ”
Qi Chengfei laughed coldly: "Don't you know, the emperor is worried about his livelihood, some of the young bloodlines we can use have joined the military camp, and some of the old people who are powerless occupy the vast majority, subduing neighboring countries can increase the population, and the emperor is guarding against the attack of the Fertile country, this method is the safest for him." ”
"Wo Guo ......"
Qi Hong's face sank.
Once this battle is fought, it will not be beneficial to them.
The Fertile Kingdom was twice as numerous as theirs, and all of them were young people.
And those small countries that the emperor wants to subdue are just simple to say, but they are not so easy to implement.
For example, those barbarians who suddenly appeared in Yangzhou Prefecture came from a small neighboring country.
Just a drunk person can compete with Yu Xuan for a few rounds, which shows that their strength should not be underestimated.
Qi Hong asked softly, "Is the crown prince already ready to go on a crusade?" ”
"Of course, if there is no definite news, I will not rush to come and talk to you about this!"
Qi Chengfei nodded, a little bored.
If the crown prince Qi Yu succeeds in winning several small countries in the neighboring areas, his position in the emperor's heart will be more stable.
Seeing that the emperor's body is aging, there is not much time to deal with state affairs in his reign.
At this juncture, the more the crown prince gains power, the more losses they will have.
"Your Royal Highness King Yong, what I told you about last time, you still refuse to help?"
Qi Chengfei suddenly looked at Qi Hong, and under his deep eyes, the divine light of longing flashed.
"Hehe, I want to help you, but I'm just a waste who is despised by the emperor, and the soldiers under my command are no more than 40,000, in case I miscalculate, won't I dig my own grave?"
"The soldiers under your command ......" Qi Chengfei seemed to have something to say.
Looking at his stumbling appearance, Qi Hong suddenly thought about it.
There are not a few people who hold military power now.
If Qi Chengfei is really sincere, he might as well lend him some soldiers, and only those who have contacts can cooperate, and if he just talks about it, it can't be regarded as cooperation.
"The Marquis of Haining has a noble status, he once sweated on the battlefield, the emperor has not taken back your military power, presumably there are still a lot of soldiers in your hands available, you might as well lend me a little, and return it to you when you run out!"
Qi Hong thought of this and immediately spoke.
Qi Chengfei's face was embarrassed, and he smiled teasingly: "His Royal Highness King Yongwang said this, it really scared me, where did I get the military power under my hands?" But a few good men, who follow me to protect my safety, are not some kind of warriors, and if you take them away, then will I not live in fear all day? ”
"Haining Hou, what are you pretending to be in front of me?" Qi Hong couldn't help but sneer.
Speaking of this, Qi Chengfei was a little restless.
He stood up in a panic and said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still distinguished guests waiting in the house, and I can't talk to you here!" ”
"In such a hurry? You've been waiting for me all day, so why bother with these hours or two? ”
Hearing this, Qi Hong asked.
"No, I'll see you another day, remember to think about what I just said, I hope to see you again, your attitude will be different from now!" Qi Chengfei quickly waved his hand and turned to leave.
Qi Hong didn't catch up, but just instructed the soldiers outside to send him out of the military mansion.
"Hmph, if you want to use me to win the throne for him without spending a single soldier, this wishful thinking is really good, really I'm a fool, can't even guess these conspiracies?"
Qi Hong took a sip of the wine mixed with water, got up and walked in the direction of the side hall.
Passing by the courtyard of Li Huijun's dormitory, Qi Hong stopped slightly and looked at the dormitory where the lights had not yet been turned off.
"Your Highness, do you want to go in?"
