In the backyard of the state government, a rush of footsteps sounded.

A middle-aged man in a Tsing Yi official robe hurriedly chased after Zhang Yungong, the Taozhou assassin in front.

Zhang Yungong's footsteps slowed down helplessly, and the middle-aged Qingyi official finally caught up, and then couldn't help but complain and said: "Brother-in-law, what are the kings of England and the king of Nanchang doing, as soon as they come, they want to inspect the treasury and seize military power, what do they want to do, do they want to directly take away all the powers of you, the Taozhou assassin?" ”

Zhang Yungong stopped and looked at his wife and brother with a surprised face: "Chen Shilang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Shilang looked at his brother-in-law a little puzzled.

Zhang Yungong frowned and said: "The king of Nanchang is the deputy marshal and deputy commander of the Taohe Road March, responsible for the logistics and supply of the army, protecting the safety of the grain road, and controlling the checkpoints along the way, which is his authority; At the same time, he inspected the general of the right guard, and it was also within his authority to protect the safety of His Royal Highness, so it was not wrong for him to send people to take over the city defense and the surrounding checkpoints; In addition, everything in the city is still under the jurisdiction of Taozhou, the king of Nanchang did not intervene, and the power of the official is not affected at all, so how to seize power. ”

The corners of Chen Shilang's mouth twitched slightly, and then he forcibly said: "Then the matter of inspecting the grain depot, do they distrust us so much?" ”

At the mention of the grain depot, Zhang Yungong's face turned completely cold: "Those things you did yourself, clean them up yourself, don't involve them in the Thorn Mansion; The last time the military department, the Yushitai, and the people from Dali Temple have found out something, His Royal Highness said just now, maybe it is a continuation of the last incident. ”

Chen Shilang tried hard to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak.

"Now that His Royal Highness is here, Lanzhou, Ganzhou and other states will inevitably have important people to visit, and the official will be busy with these things next, and His Royal Highness will inevitably focus on this matter."

Zhang Yungong raised his head coldly and continued: "The king of Nanchang, as the deputy marshal and deputy chief of the marching army, will go to Hezhou in a few days to check the affairs of the grain depot and grain road. ”

Chen Shilang shouted a little unwillingly: "Brother-in-law......"

"In the past, it was for your sister's sake, but from today on, if you are not honest anymore, don't blame me for not caring about you anymore." After Zhang Yungong finished speaking, he waved his sleeves away in annoyance, leaving Chen Shilang standing there alone, his face was ugly.

When Zhang Yungong completely disappeared from sight, the ugliness on Chen Shilang's face suddenly disappeared, but he looked surprised.

This brother-in-law of his, why is he so calm today.

I don't know what came to mind, Chen Shilang turned around and left.

……

A moment later, a pretty woman in a green and gold full-breasted skirt steadily entered the study in the backyard from the outside.

The woman's eyebrows were as light as water, her jade muscles were breeze, and between her chuckles, a reassuring voice sounded: "Aya, my daughter is here." ”

Zhang Yungong sat behind the table, writing a notebook, and after seeing his daughter, he called softly: "Qi Niang, is your uncle looking for you again?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Qiniang stood behind Zhang Yungong's side, picked up the ink ingot to help him sharpen the ink, and said softly: "Uncle doesn't seem to know why he feels very uneasy, and always wants Aya to help him out." ”

"He wants to see his father and the king of Nanchang fighting, but he doesn't think about it, whether it is the king of Nanchang or the king of England, they are all people with the king's order, and they are all children of the royal family. Zhang Yungong couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Chen Shilang's thoughts, under Zhang Yungong's gaze, were completely exposed.

But how could Zhang Yungong forcibly force a hard top with the emperor's son and cousin because of Chen Shilang's matter.

Even if there is no secret decree, after the king of Ying and the king of Nanchang go back, they can say a word or two at will, which is enough for him to eat a pot.

Zhang Qiniang didn't surprise Zhang Yungong's thoughts at all, but asked a little puzzled: "Aya, did the king of Nanchang and the king of Ying just make Aya unable to move at all and abandon his uncle directly?" ”

"There is news in Beijing, the king of Nanchang is shrewd and resolute, his methods are tough and ruthless, and the king of England is a random prodigal, but when I see it today, I don't see how shrewd and tough the king of Nanchang is, but His Royal Highness is definitely not as confused as rumored." Zhang Yungong's brows furrowed tightly.

Yesterday's suddenness did not come, and today's personality is very different, which made Zhang Yungong's heart rise with a strong vigilance.

"Then this is a rescue ......" Zhang Qiniang looked at her father with a hesitant face, if her words were known to the outside world, she would definitely set off a huge storm.

To save the driver, of course, is to save Li Xian, so from whose hands to save Li Xian, the only one who can threaten Li Xian in the entire Taozhou is the attacking Tubo cavalry.

The raid on Taozhou by the Tubo Iron Cavalry seems to be something that everyone knows.

Zhang Yungong is also calculating, once he saves Li Xian, his perception in the eyes of the emperor will change dramatically in an instant, and it is unknown when he will go to the court to pay homage to the prime minister.

Retracting his thoughts, Zhang Yungong shook his head slightly, and said: "What should be prepared, of course we still have to prepare, but outside, let's put it aside and take a look, everything is not in the end, what the result will be, it is still undecided, don't be careless." ”

Zhang Qiniang nodded solemnly, although she seemed to remember something, she followed and asked, "What about tonight's banquet?" ”

"According to the plan, if you don't have the ability to save the driver, then you always have to blend into the palace first." Zhang Yungong said a word, and when he looked up, he was immediately impressed.

Zhang Qiniang nodded solemnly, the skill of saving the driver and mixing into the palace, the two are complementary to each other, if you can't do both at the same time, then at least you have to do one of them.

Right now, Zhang Yungong chose to blend into the palace.

"Everything is arranged according to Aya." Zhang Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her head and asked softly, "Aye, what is this writing?" ”

"Write a chapter, His Royal Highness has come down to Taozhou, and he must always show the saint and the queen of heaven, and secretly test a few more words." Zhang Yungong had no reservations and told his daughter everything.

Today's unexpected performance of the King of England has been quite forbearing.

These things, let the emperor and the queen of heaven know, how to put aside the king for the time being, it is definitely not a bad thing for Zhang Yungong.

Zhang Qiniang nodded lightly, and then asked, "Then tonight, the Yang family, do you still want to invite?" ”

"Please, I wanted to invite it back then, if I didn't invite it, how could they make a fuss." The corners of Zhang Yungong's mouth showed a hint of murderous intent, and he said softly: "Your marriage contract with the Yang family should have been dissolved a long time ago, and now you can cut off with the Yang family; The Yang family Lang removed the Lintan garrison for half a day, so that the Tubo iron cavalry silently broke in, and after the investigation, the Yang family was naturally implicated, and if there was still this relationship, it would be unfavorable to you, and even more unfavorable to the father. ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Qiniang's face was calm, and she nodded without the slightest surprise.

……

The Li compound in the east of the city is now the Marshal's Mansion of the Taohe Road March.

Although a large number of civilian officials are still on the way, Yao Lingzhang has already placed all the guards inside and outside the mansion in place.

In addition, the surrounding city gates and city walls, as well as the watchtowers in the city, have all been controlled by the right guard iron cavalry, and the entire Taozhou City is now under control.

In the Marching Deputy Marshal's Mansion on the west side, more than a dozen Qianniu guards were quickly going in and out of the palace.

Seeing the British King Li Xian coming in from outside, everyone stopped walking and saluted slightly, and quickly got busy without waiting for Li Xian to respond.

Li Xian and Yao Lingzhang and Dou Xiao on his side did not feel the slightest surprise, King Nanchang acted in such a style.

Entering the huge official hall in the inner room, Li Xian saw that Li Xuan and a lot of sergeants were on the sand table on the ground, restoring the terrain of the entire Taozhou, and even the entire topographic map, which had rapidly spread towards Hezhou.

Seeing Li Xian enter the door, Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly: "Your Highness." ”

"Uncle Wang." Li Xian nodded, looking at Taozhou, which only occupied the center of the entire east side, and a larger blank space to the west, Li Xian praised and said: "This sand table made by Uncle Wang is not much worse than that of my father." ”

The sand table is not a rare thing, since the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, it has appeared in front of the world.

It's just that this kind of thing has always existed in the military, and it is rare among the people, even in the history books.

After all, even using an overly detailed map is already a felony in the military, let alone such a sand table heavy weapon.

Li Xuan glanced up at Li Xian, and said flatly: "What Your Highness saw from Your Majesty should be a map of mountains and rivers of thousands of miles, and about Tubo and the northwest border, the military department should have a more detailed pattern, and Your Highness will know it after he goes back." ”

"Okay." Li Xian's interest in playing with his heart was greatly reduced, and then he said: "Just now, Zhang Yuanjun sent someone to send an invitation, and tonight he is going to hold a reception banquet for this king, and he also invited many elders, parents, and bachelors in the city, Uncle Wang, how to deal with it tonight." ”

"Your Highness will do whatever you want, and the minister will not present His Highness's behavior at the banquet to His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven." Li Xuan glanced at Li Xian casually, although Li Xian paused, Li Xuan couldn't help laughing, and then said: "You don't have to be nervous, what I said is true, when the time comes, how do you write, I have seen the imitation writing, as long as you, the British king, the wise and martial demeanor is still there." ”

"Uncle Wang doesn't write, someone always writes." Li Xian said lightly, and his expression became a little unhappy.

Although there were some things that the emperor didn't say, and Li Xuan and Li Xian never talked about it, both of them knew that many of their actions were under the supervision of the secret guards.

Although Li Xian does not have much influence on the army now, he is the nominal supreme commander of the army of tens of thousands after all, how can the palace be completely relieved.

After a moment of silence, Li Xuan said: "You pay a little attention to it, as long as it is not too out of line, the Queen of Heaven and Your Majesty will only reprimand at most." ”

"Forget it." Li Xian took a light breath, and then said, "How busy is Uncle Wang's here." ”

Li Xuan looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu on the side, Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward solemnly, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Highness Qiqi, the right guard cavalry, now in addition to the four hundred people occupying the city gates and watchtowers, there are also six hundred people placed in the East Gate barracks, in addition, there are four hundred people who have spread out to the south and west respectively, occupying various key roads, setting up checkpoints, setting up wolf smoke in key places, and at the same time sending people to contact Yan Guogong in Hezhou and General Heizhi Changzhi in Lintan. ”

While Qiu Zhenmu was speaking, Li Xuan's fingers had already drawn on the map.

After Li Xian finished reading it, he nodded and said with some doubts: "Uncle Wang, will the Tubo people really come to invade the grain road?" ”

Li Xuan nodded very affirmatively and said, "If it is a minister, the minister will definitely do this; That is, the black tooth Changzhi sent troops from Lintan, arrived forward, and suppressed the troops of the Tubo line, otherwise, they would only infiltrate more. ”

"I see." Li Xian's face became solemn.

Hei Zhi Changzhi is a general of Baekje, back then, he stuck to the mountains and fields of Baekje, even Su Dingfang failed to conquer it, and later Liu Ren arrived, which persuaded Hei Zhi Changzhi to surrender.

Now that the emperor is using him in Lintan, he is very good at employing people.

Black teeth are often like this, and Li Jinxing, who has been killing in the East Island all year round, is not the case.
