Xiao Ce was a smart man, he did not choose to surrender directly, but sent the letter to the king of Luoyang, who was far away in Luoyang, and waited for a reply to open the city to welcome his brother.

It's just that this time is different from the past, Xiao Ce has the city lord's seal in his hand, although Xiao Sheng hates it so much that his heart is itching, it is not convenient to move him at this time.

His younger brother is also capable, but Xiao Sheng also knows that after this period of time, it will be difficult to kill him again.

When Li Hanning heard the news of Fengyang City, he had already returned to Huai'an City with Fang Jiuge, who had gone crazy.

Huai'an also received the news that Li Zhao had passed the position of city lord to Xiao Ce.

Right now, Li Hanning was sitting on the elegant seat on the second floor of the tavern, listening to the storyteller below pat the wood, and continued to say aloud:

"Seeing that the Luoyang army was pressing, Li Zhao Gongzi took all the blame on himself for the sake of our safety, handed over Huai'an City to Xiao Ergongzi of Luoyang City, and agreed with it in three chapters, everything in Huai'an City is the same as before, after Xiao Ergongzi is in charge of Huai'an City, he must not harm the people in Huai'an City, and Xiao Ergongzi is also a man who loves the people and is kind-hearted, and immediately agreed, so we have to continue to live a peaceful life now."

The versions circulating in various teahouses and taverns in the city are all this, as for the real situation, Li Hanning naturally knows it, and she also knows that most of their rumors come from Xiao Ce, and he also hopes that the people here will remember Li Zhao.

She took another sip of wine, drank the wine in the city lord's mansion and the barracks, the wine elsewhere didn't seem to be so tasteful, and when she was about to check out and leave, she saw two dusty outsiders enter the restaurant.

One of them, looking at the well-dressed man, threw a silver ingot to the storyteller:

"What you just said was very good, but I missed most of the part, this money is given to you, and you can talk about it again after hard work."

The storyteller is happy about the next silver, Li Zhao was originally the hero in their hearts, and Xiao Ce, who took over the official position, is their current master, even if he has no money, he is willing to continue to talk.

"Since these two guest officers from other places want to hear it, then I will say it again."

The little two on the side watched them come in, and as soon as they made a move, they were all bright silver, and immediately greeted them:

"The two of you are not locals, they are from a foreign country, why don't you go upstairs with me, the second floor is quieter here."

The man glanced up at the stairs, which did seem to be quieter, and replied, "It's fine." ”

They just sat down at the table opposite Li Hanning.

Li Hanning glanced at the spotless pair of cloud-climbing shoes that were exposed under the feet of the two of them when they sat down, and immediately sat down in the seat to drink.

That is a precious cloth only in Chang'an, at the moment Huai'an has just surrendered to Luoyang, the city is not stable, they are not here to talk about business, but it is interesting.

The two men listened to the storytelling downstairs again, and it seemed that they were still unsatisfied.

"What does the master think?"

The young man in white laughed loudly: "Since those words are what Xiao Ce said to Li Zhao in private, where does anyone around dare to come forward to listen?" What we hear now is just what others want us to hear, just to have fun after dinner. ”

The attendant on the side was a little puzzled when he heard this: "In that case, the master still wants to reward him with so much silver?" ”

The young man poured himself another glass of wine and said: "Since we have all arrived at the tavern, it is really boring not to listen to the story, this is Huai'an City, what is more interesting here than the story he just told?" ”

Li Hanning finished drinking, and happened to pass by them, the young man's attendant didn't see it, and almost hit someone when he raised his hand, but fortunately, Li Hanning reacted one step faster, flashed sideways, and dodged lightly.

The young man hurriedly stood up and apologized to Li Hanning: "I'm sorry, it was my attendant who was reckless just now and almost bumped into the girl." ”

Originally, she saw the opportunity to pass by here, and it was originally an excuse to talk, why did his attendant accidentally say it.

Li Hanning glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I haven't touched it anyway, if you really feel sorry for it, it's okay to invite me to a glass of wine." ”

The young man was stunned, and then looked down at the wine on the wine table:

"It's okay, it's just an apology for the girl."

Li Hanning picked a seat and sat down, and the attendant hurriedly took the wine cup again.

Seeing Li Hanning drink a cup in one go, the young man's eyes were a little stunned:

"The girl is a good drinker, and there are few women in my hometown who have such a good amount of wine."

Chang'an Avenue is a famous lady, and what she has learned since childhood are poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, unlike Beijing and Huai'an, where women are more free.

Li Hanning smiled and said, "Then now you have seen it." ”

The young man said: "I finally came out with the consent of my family, and I really saw the customs of many places, although the culture is different, but under the same blue sky, people have different ways of living, which is also a beautiful thing." ”

Li Hanning glanced at the attendant on the side, and his gaze quickly fell on the young man, and then he quietly and tentatively said, "Your family can rest assured that you have come so far away?" ”

And this little boy is obviously not in the world, the silver on his body has always been exposed, and it is also the ability of the two of them to be able to walk all the way from Chang'an to Huai'an without incident.

The young man looked at Li Hanning in front of him and explained:

"Actually, we have encountered a lot of troubles along the way, but they have all been resolved, and my attendants and I are just passing through Huai'an to go to Fengyang City."

When Li Hanning heard the name Fengyang City again, he couldn't help but subconsciously move.

"The war there has just stopped, and there is a lot of chaos in the city, what are you going to do there?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh: "Go and pick up my brother who is not angry, although he is not angry, but after all, he is my brother, and now the world is so chaotic, I can't bear to leave him there alone." ”

The reason that sounds ridiculous in the eyes of ordinary people is that the teenager said it carefully and seriously.

Li Hanning was naturally skeptical, but these two people didn't plan to stay in Huai'an, there was no threat to her, she already knew what she wanted to know, so she planned to get up and leave.

Unexpectedly, he was left by the teenager again:

"I buy this wine cheaply, I'm afraid I can't make amends, so let's do it, my hexagram is very spiritual, so I never give people easy to tell the hexagram, if the girl is willing today, I can make an exception to the girl to calculate a hexagram, I don't take a penny, as a reparation, what does the girl think?"

Although Li Hanning doesn't believe this, it doesn't hurt to listen to it occasionally.

The boy took two copper coins from his bosom and threw them on the table.

"What does the girl want to ask? Do you want to ask yourself about your future? Marriage? Or is it the safety of the family? ”

She doesn't have a family, so naturally she is not qualified to ask if her family is safe, and there will probably be no such thing as marriage.

Li Hanning said quietly: "Then ask about the future." ”

The young man nodded, and glanced down at the direction of the copper coin on the table:

"If the girl leaves Huai'an City one day, she may have a better chance of going to the water city in the south."

The most obvious water city in the south is Luoyang.

The young man in front of him was a little interesting.

"My hanging may not be accurate, but whether it is accurate or not depends on the girl's mind."

Li Hanning smiled and said with a rare smile after these recent days:

"The son of Yunxi inherited the Great Liang National Teacher, and the hexagram calculated is naturally accurate."

Seeing that she had already said the name of the young man in front of her, the attendant on the side couldn't help but look nervous, and quietly pressed the saber on his waist.

Mo Yunxi turned sideways and shook his head lightly at him, this person in front of the teacher was not hostile, so there was no need to make a big move.

Mo Yunxi didn't seem surprised that she could directly recognize who she was, but silently put away the two copper coins used to tell the hexagram on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Now that you recognize who I am, what's next?"

He also recognized her as Li Hanning.

Li Hanning didn't seem surprised, and asked in a flat tone:

"When did Mo Gongzi recognize him?"

Mo Yunxi replied truthfully: "When you dodged sideways, you walked with wind under your feet, and your light skills were very good, you are the only female general in Huai'an City, it is not difficult to recognize you, how did you recognize me?" ”

Seeing that he was so honest, Li Hanning naturally confessed:

"Once upon a time, when I was still in Chang'an, I once received an order and saw your portrait a few years ago."

Mo Yunxi seemed to feel a little interesting when he heard this: "Order? ”

Li Hanning recalled the past, and couldn't help but have a cold light in his eyes: "That year, I happened to meet the Great Liang Imperial Examination, and my task was to kill you if you dared to become an official." ”

Mo Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The adults of the Li Mansion are really good at taking precautions. ”

It's a pity that it was the Li Mansion that lost later, and the Mo family is still there.

Mo Yunxi said again: "General Li, don't worry, if there is no accident, I don't plan to enter the government from now on, the master has calculated a hexagram for me in the past, I have a catastrophe in my life, if I am contaminated with officialdom, I will definitely not die well." ”

This is also the reason why he did not participate in the imperial examination even if he was outstanding in writing and amazing since he was a child.

Li Hanning was noncommittal, but all this had nothing to do with her.

Mo Yunxi said again: "Although the positions are different, the words I advise you are all sincere, since you don't plan to stay in Huai'an City for a long time, and now it is a troubled time, everywhere is the same, only the world is peaceful, there will be no disputes today." ”

Mo Yunxi was at least right in this matter, how long could she hide even if she hid in Huai'an City? After reunification, there will be no war, isn't that what Li Zhao wanted to do in the past?

At that time, Li Zhao asked her to listen to her inner thoughts, and now this idea is becoming clearer and clearer, and she herself is not as clear as Mo Yunxi in these things.

It's just that he is a member of the Mo family after all, why should he enlighten her to Luoyang?

"After all, Mo Gongzi is also a member of the imperial court, so he is not worried that Luoyang's power is getting bigger and bigger, and he will subvert the imperial court one day?"

Mo Yunxi shook his head, looking at the reflection of the wine glass thoughtfully, as if he remembered the past:

"Back then, my father went to the Li Mansion to go to the book, and our Mo family first had a guilty conscience in this matter, and my father's insistence on going his own way led to the destruction of the Li Mansion, and now it is useless to apologize, and the cycle of heavenly reason."

The same goes for his elder brother Mo Qing.
