This is their own meal, although they also invited Li Hanning, who is still recuperating from his injuries, but after all, his identity is just an outsider, Li Hanning declined the invitation politely, and finished dinner alone in the room.

At night, when the courtyard was quiet inside and outside, Li Hanning, who had been staying in the house for several days, planned to go out for a walk, and in the past few days, he had almost touched the paths in the house.

When he walked outside the guest room, he happened to meet Fang Jiu Ge practicing his spear, he seemed to be concentrating, and he didn't notice Li Hanning who was slowly approaching, his marksmanship was like thunder, and his momentum broke through the air, and when he fell heavily on the ground, he seemed to be shocked.

Marksmanship is good marksmanship, but there is an element of gambling in this move.

Looks like he has something on his mind.

The cold spear stopped not far in front of her.

Fang Jiu Ge looked at Li Hanning, a look in his eyes at the beginning, with an uncontrollable murderous aura, only changed back to his daytime appearance after seeing the person coming clearly in the back.

"It's you."

Li Hanning looked at his eyes, and didn't mean to dodge, since he had met him, it was natural to say hello.

Fang Jiu Ge glanced at the shelf on the side, there were all kinds of weapons on the mahogany shelf on the side, this was usually where Li Zhao practiced his sword in the mansion.

"I heard my brother mention that your martial arts are good when I had dinner today, and I see that you are idle tonight, why don't you compare yourself with me?"

Li Hanning thought that she hadn't used force for a long time, and she thought that it would be good to move her muscles and bones, so she agreed:

"Okay."

Fang Jiuge saw her stretch out her hand and touch the whip before he remembered that she seemed to have injuries on her body, I don't know what was going on, but looking at her appearance of being able to move freely, it should be okay.

"I almost forgot that you had a wound on you, and we'll stop at today."

Li Hanning tried the soft whip, looked at the person in front of him and said, "It's okay." ”

In the past, in the Li Mansion, she had some injuries on almost every mission, and she had long been used to it, but now only small injuries on her body were nothing

Fang Jiuge was a little surprised when he saw the weapon she chose: "I have beaten all this person who is at the top of Huai'an's martial arts, but this cold spear in my hand is the first time to encounter a soft whip, it is a bit interesting, come." ”

Only then did Fang Jiuge know that Li Hanning was so powerful, the ten-zhang soft whip seemed to be alive in her hands, and she could go where she wanted to go according to her heart. No matter where his gun hit, the soft whip came as if he had a thought of his own, so that he couldn't get close at all.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Li Hanning's long whip fell on the tip of his spear like thunder, and Shengsheng split the sharpest spear tip in half at once, and even the cold spear in his hand was shocked.

Li Hanning withdrew the long whip, and Fang Jiu Ge immediately frowned:

"No, I didn't think you looked weak, but this whip is so powerful."

If he continued to compare, he would lose, Fang Jiu Ge had already heard from his righteous brother that the person in front of him was powerful, so he was willing to gamble and lose.

"Next time, we'll compare when I figure out how to crack it."

Li Hanning rolled up the long whip with his hand and put the weapon back on the mahogany shelf on the side, this is a competition and not a battle to kill the enemy, so naturally it is to stop at the point and learn from each other.

"Okay."

Next time, it doesn't hurt to finish this time.

Fang Jiuge also threw the spear in his hand to the mahogany frame on the side, walked over and said to Li Hanning:

"We don't know each other, let's make friends, I'll invite you to drink."

Drinking at this moment really made Li Hanning a little excited.

Because of her previous injury, Madame did not allow anyone in this house to give her alcohol at all, and she had not touched alcohol for a long time.

Fang Jiu Ge came to the mulberry tree in the backyard, and with a shovel that he didn't know where he learned, he dug up the ground under the mulberry tree, and dug out a few jars of wine from the ground, looking at the appearance of this jar, it should have been buried here for a long time.

He bent down and lifted two jars of wine to pat one of the jars, patted the soil sticking on it, and handed it to Li Hanning, who was standing on the side:

"Take it, I'm happy today, even if I invite you to drink, this is a good wine that is rare in ten years."

If the previous competition failed to shorten the distance between the two people, this wine played the most crucial role.

Li Hanning took the wine from his hand and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

Maybe it was the moonlight tonight, or maybe it was because they couldn't enjoy sitting in the courtyard, so the two jumped to the eaves and sat on the cold tiles.

Li Hanning threw away the mahogany cork that tightly blocked the mouth of the wine jar, this wine was mellow and fragrant, and it was really a rare good wine here, and it was really enjoyable to drink.

Li Hanning took the wine jar and glanced at the people around him:

"I haven't asked you yet, what happy things happened tonight?"

"There are happy things everywhere, such as knowing you, such as my brother getting married, such as drinking this wine."

Li Hanning was silent for a moment when he heard this.

Then he suddenly said, "You like Madame." ”

The wine jar in Fang Jiu's singer stagnated, and he put down the wine jar and looked at it: "Is it really so obvious?" Even you know, when did you know? ”

Li Hanning was actually unsure at first, and responded: "Now, it was just a guess earlier, but now I know, but don't worry, I won't say much." ”

She's not someone who likes to tell the truth.

Fang Jiuge sighed faintly, as if he had thought of something from the past, half melancholy: "I am the adopted son of Huai'an Taishou, I grew up in this mansion since I was a child, and Ah Qing can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, but she has never looked at me more, after my brother came to Huai'an, Ah Qing's eyes were full of him, I actually blessed them, my brother treated her very well." ”

"The jar of wine we drink is also, it is a birthday when I was young, my father buried it for me in this mulberry tree home, he said that the custom of the people of Huai'an City is like this, they will bury a few jars of wine for their children, and when they grow up in the future, they will dig it out and drink it as a wedding wine when they grow up and want to get married."

It turns out that there is this meaning.

Li Hanning looked at the wine in his hand with some hesitation:

"And you wine—"

Why do you drink it now?

Fang Jiuge smiled and took a sip of wine and then looked at the person in front of him: "My favorite girl in my life married someone else, I won't get married again in my life, anyway, it's a troubled time now, my father is also dead, no one cares if I will get married, it really happened to me, I plan to marry Huai'an City in the future, oh no, maybe my ambition is a little bigger, I will marry Chang'an City, marry the people of Li or the people of the world." ”

Li Hanning saw that his eyes were very sincere when he spoke, and there was no joke.

She thought that she might need to speak out and persuade at this moment, but she was really not a person who would explain others, not to mention how she deserved to intervene in emotional matters, she also thought so a few days ago, and never thought about future marriages, people like them may suddenly die one day, why bother thinking about such a long-term thing, and why delay others.

Li Hanning still didn't say anything when the words came to his mouth, but just said, "Thank you for the wine tonight." ”

Fang Jiu Ge just shook his head when he heard this: "You're welcome, it should be me who thanks you, I had a good fight, and I drank another happy wine, I feel much more comfortable." ”

"It's all in the wine."

Li Hanning held the wine jar and faced him from afar:

"Yes, it's all in this jar."

Fang Jiu Ge nodded, and drank all the little wine left in the wine jar in his hand.

*

Li Hanning rested for a few days in a row, and when the injuries on her body were finally healed, Li Zhao transferred her to the chief of the guard of Huai'an City Taishou Mansion in a blink of an eye.

The civil official on the side said: "Yesterday, the city lord got married, I thought that these things were not important, and I didn't bother the city lord. ”

Li Zhao sat on the main seat, looked over condescendingly, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

The civil officials looked at each other, and finally elected an old fox, and said carefully: "A few days ago, the king of Luoyang raised troops, and the court Chang'an immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress it, and it was Mo Heyu, the second son of the Mo family, who was in charge. ”

People from the Mo family.

Li Hanning unconsciously looked at her son-in-law, and sure enough, he saw that Li Zhao's face turned a little pale, perhaps because he heard the words Mo family again, if it wasn't for the Mo family's false accusation in front of the emperor at that time, the Li family might not have suffered this catastrophe.

Li Zhao was silent for a moment before frowning and asked, "What is the current battle situation in Luoyang?" ”

Li Hanning's eyes also fell on Na Wenchen, there is her life-saving benefactor in Luoyang City, and it is the place she is most concerned about except Huai'an, I don't know how Xiao Ce is doing now.

On the top of the main hall, I could only hear Na Wenchen's words, and said unhurriedly: "The total number of troops stationed in Luoyang does not exceed 100,000, while the Mo family leads 150,000 troops, and they are all elites of the imperial court, and there is a huge disparity in troops. At first, the lord of Luoyang was the second son of Xiao, and Luoyang won many victories, but then he suddenly changed the main general for some reason, and replaced it with Xiao Sheng, the eldest son of the king of Luoyang. ”

The eldest prince relied on the fact that he was the first son of the king of Luoyang, and he targeted Xiao Ce everywhere, which was something that outsiders could see, but he didn't expect to be so willful during the war in Luoyang, and he buried the advantages that Xiao Ce had fought before.

Li Zhao pondered for a moment and then sighed a little before he said: "If it is Xiao Ce, only 150,000 soldiers and horses can't help Luoyang, it's a pity." ”

Fang Jiuge thought about it for a while and couldn't help but say loudly: "But Brother Yi, Luoyang is the most powerful one among the troops now, if they can't bear it, their lips and teeth are cold, the next target of the court may not be Huai'an, now that the court is seriously ill to encircle and suppress Luoyang, and the commanders of the Luoyang Army are at odds with each other, it is the most critical moment in Luoyang, Brother Yi thinks, do we need help from Huai'an?" ”
