For her, of course, it is reassuring.

Wen Qing looked at her and said, "Then I'll entrust everything to you, be careful on the road." ”

Sure enough, as she said, the Wenchen and military generals of the entire Huai'an City all knew that Fang Jiuge had left his handsome seal last night when they met the next day, and then left Huai'an without saying goodbye.

Right now, in front of Li Zhao, these Wenchen have their own calculations in their hearts, you look at me, I look at you, and no one stepped forward to say much.

Li Zhao glanced at them, and naturally understood something:

"I'm going to go out once in the next few days, and everything in the city will be taken care of by my wife, and I hope you will do your best to help me when I'm away."

Everyone in the audience waved in unison: "Yes." ”

I don't know who asked a lot: "I don't know where the city lord is going to go when he leaves?" Let's also calculate the time of the city lord's trip so that we can take care of the affairs of the city. ”

Li Zhao stood in place and glanced at him quietly: "When I went to relieve the siege of Luoyang City, Xiao Ce had a relationship with me, and I agreed with him at that time that when the war in Luoyang subsided, we would meet again and drink the wine that Chang'an had not drunk at that time, and I would not go to Luoyang, but Yanming City between Luoyang and Huai'an, and I would not stay there for too long, at most half a month." ”

Li Hanning looked slightly sideways when she heard this, she only knew about Xiao Ce, with their son-in-law, there was no need to lie like this with these ministers, what he said could only be true, they were indeed separated for a period of time outside the gate of Luoyang City at that time, maybe Li Zhao and Xiao Ce met at that time.

This matter also involved Luoyang, and it was inevitable that Xiao Ce would be involved.

When the man heard this, he asked, "Does the city lord need to bring some accompanying guards with him?" ”

Li Zhao nodded and said, "Xiao Ce only brought one guard this time, if it is fair between me and him, I only plan to take Li Han alone this time." ”

Then the man gave up.

Li Zhao stood on top of the main hall, looked around at the audience, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still have anything to ask?" ”

No one in the audience dared to answer more.

Then the matter was decided.

Two fast horses rushed from Huai'an to Yanming City.

They originally chose to ride their horses in a hurry in order to catch up with Fang Jiuge, who left Huai'an City first, and now it was a cold autumn day, and the cold wind was biting outside, Li Hanning rode over all the way, and followed not far behind Li Zhao, from the direction where she was, she always felt that the clothes Li Zhao was wearing today were thinner than those of the previous few days.

"Childe, we've been on the road for several hours in a row, and there's a stream in front of us, so we need to rest for a while?"

Li Zhao looked at the past from afar, there was indeed a stream not far away, it was still early morning when they first came out of Huai'an, and now it was almost afternoon, the sun fell on the surface of the stream, and a floating golden light was seen in the distance for a moment.

"It's fine."

Even if they don't get tired, but the horses do, and the two horses need to rest for a while.

Li Hanning took out the cloak from the package that Wen Qing had prepared in advance, and walked over to put on Li Zhao, who had just turned over and dismounted, and tied the horse to the tree next to the stream.

Li Zhao felt the warmth on his body, and when he looked down, he saw the familiar cloak, the fluff on this cloak was still when he knew Wen Qing before, and Fang Jiuge had hunted outside the city, and the white mink in the hunt had just entered autumn at that time, and the weather here in Huai'an was not as good as Chang'an, Wen Qing was weak and always sick, this cloak was originally given to her for warmth, but today she handed it over to Li Han.

Li Hanning said and took a step back and said, "Madame asked me to bring it, it seems that Madame knows the son best." ”

Knowing that he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has a good physique and is not afraid of cold, and when he left, it was the hottest morning of the day, but the Huai'an area was still cold in the afternoon and evening, and people like them who went out were the most taboo to get sick.

If it was her, such a person who only knew that you lived and died and was so careless, where could she think of this, and Li Zhao really didn't think about hiding these little things from Li Han.

Li Zhao lowered his head and looked at the cloak on his body, and suddenly thought of the other lady who had just cherished him this morning, and said in a deep voice: "She is very good, but I am always not in Huai'an, and I can't be by her side like ordinary people when I am in Huai'an, and it has been really hard for her to marry me in the past few months." ”

For Li Hanning, she knew in her heart from the moment she left Huai'an that the best result of their trip was to find out the truth of the matter, if the truth could be found clearly, she would be able to bring Fang Jiuge back smoothly, after all, he grew up here in Huai'an, and he didn't know anyone in Yishui City.

Li Hanning wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help but sigh with relief: "Gongzi will go back this time, and it won't be long before he can stay with his wife for a long time." ”

What's more, for their wife, there is always someone who can wait for him to come back, and he shouldn't feel so uncomfortable in his heart, and he may be worried when his sweetheart comes home, but after all, she still has someone who can wait, but this point sometimes makes Li Hanning envious.

Li Zhao in front of him seemed to have thought of something.

After a while, he suddenly turned to look at Li Hanning, as if explaining something: "I forgot to tell you before, I met Xiao Ce on the battlefield outside Luoyang City, but the war did not stop at that time, and he and I also met in a hurry, chatted for a few words, and agreed to meet again at Yanming Lake and separated." ”

At that time, they were not sure how long the battle in Luoyang would last, and they could not even determine the time when they would meet again.

Li Zhao and Xiao Ce had both spent some time in Chang'an in the past, and even studied together at the Shangqing Academy in the Chang'an Palace, so it was not surprising that they had known each other before, and there was no need for Ben to tell her a little guard.

Li Hanning just nodded, this is their son's business, and the only thing she has is what she promised Wen Qing, this line of work to protect his safety, and the rest is none of her business.

Li Hanning glanced at Li Zhao and asked tentatively: "Fang Jiuge has already gone to Yishui last night, but Gongzi is rushing to Yanming City at this time, but is it because the matter agreed with Xiao Ergongzi is also related to Yishui?" ”

Li Zhao smiled when he heard this, Li Han was also born in the Li Mansion with him in the end, so he naturally knew everything: "I really can't hide anything from you, a few days ago, when an accident occurred near Yishui City, Xiao Ce sent someone to send a letter to me, he thought the same as us, today's imperial court is mediocre, and there are endless people who rebel against the imperial court. ”

Li Zhao frowned and pondered for a moment: "Among the various rebel armies, now only Huai'an and Luoyang, as well as the Feng family in Taiyuan, and the Feng family in Yishui, other things are not to be feared by the imperial court, so their best choice now is to transfer the civil strife between the rebel armies." ”

If they are not mistaken, the force provoked this time may come from Chang'an.

Li Zhao was originally worried that Xiao Ce heard about Cheng An's matter, and he would directly send troops to Luoyang in a fit of anger, but now it seems that although the second son of the king of Luoyang is also young, he is also very calm in his style of acting, no wonder Luoyang has many hidden dangers in recent years, but it is still firmly at the top of the list among all forces.

Li Hanning naturally knows this, where did this kind of world come from, what kind of friends, everyone can only come together because of interests, for example, this time to deal with the affairs of Yishui and Luoyang, it is their common interest.

Therefore, Li Zhao was able to put down the injury on his shoulder and come all the way to see Xiao Ce.

After resting here for a while, they set off again, and finally arrived at Yanming City near sunset in the evening, and there were not many people in and out of the city at night, but fortunately, Li Hanning and Li Zhao still mixed in with the token prepared in advance.

Yanming City is sandwiched between Huai'an and Luoyang, and originally planned to be loyal to the imperial court, but since Luoyang City rebelled, it chose neutrality, whether it was to the imperial court or to which rebel army was polite to anyone.

Li Zhao and Li Hanning found a post station to stay, their horses were led to the backyard, and Li Zhao gave the shopkeeper a certain amount of silver, and the entire inn was chartered.

He was going to see Xiao Ce here.

The second floor is in the middle of the place, with the outside windows open to give you an unobstructed view of everything around.

Li Zhao is now sitting alone in the middle seat and drinking tea. There was another teacup opposite, but there was no one in the empty seat.

Li Hanning had a sword pinned to his waist and stood behind Li Zhao.

After a while, two people entered the inn, and Xiao Er was about to stop them:

"Guest officer, we have closed today, and a son has chartered this inn, I'm very sorry, we won't entertain other guests for the past two days."

Xiao Ce's eyes fell on this Xiao Er, who hurried to stop them from coming in, it seemed that he was regarded as "other guests" by this Xiao Er:

"I'm your friend."

Xiao Er looked at the two people in front of him who were not dressed ordinarily, and quickly reacted:

"That's the case, guest officer, please let me take you there."

Xiao Ce followed him to the lobby on the second floor, and sure enough, he saw Li Zhao:

"Long time no see."

Li Zhao stretched out his hand and lifted the exquisite teacup in his hand, the teacup itself was made of high-grade warm jade, and almost half an hour had passed, but the tea in it was still warm.

"Second son Xiao, long time no see."

Xiao Ce walked towards the table he was at and sat down firmly across from him, followed by a guard who looked serious and did not smile, but his eyes looked cold Li Hanning carefully observed the footsteps and breath of that person, and naturally he was also a master of one in a million.

After Xiao Ce sat down, his eyes fell on Li Hanning behind Li Zhao, and Li Zhao quickly explained: "Seeing that you brought a guard, I also brought Li Han, I want to send him to send a map to the second son, I think you should have seen it when you came to Luoyang." ”

"Yes, I did."

Xiao Ce's gaze shifted to Li Zhao.

They knew each other long before that.
