The Marshal's Mansion on Taozhou Road, the courtyard is wide and the morning is bright.

Li Xuan wore a cyan robe, stretched her waist, and walked into the backyard casually, and the maid on one side hurriedly put breakfast on the stone table on the east side.

As soon as Li Xuan sat down, Li Zhu's hurried footsteps had already sounded, and soon he came to the side and stood with his hands tied.

"What?" Li Xuan casually picked up a xiaolongbao and put it on a plate on the side.

Li Zhu arched his hand and said solemnly: "Back to the prince, the little lady of the Zhang Envoy Jun family is here." ”

"Again?" Li Xuan looked up in surprise.

Li Zhu nodded and said: "Yes, she came yesterday morning, first to see His Royal Highness the King of England, but His Royal Highness said no, and later said that he wanted to see the prince, and his subordinates said that the prince inspected the state treasury the night before, and was busy all night, and she was resting during the day, so she had no choice but to leave, but in the evening, she came again, and her subordinates said that the prince had gone to inspect the treasury, and asked her to look for it over there." ”

"She certainly didn't find it, so she'll come back today." Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, shook his head and said, "It seems that someone wants to determine the daily whereabouts of this king and the king of England." ”

Li Zhu stood to the side, silent.

Li Xuan put the xiaolongbao in her mouth, gently bited it, and the juice immediately flowed into her mouth.

After a while, Li Xuan spoke: "Go, bring people in." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu immediately surrendered his promise, and then quickly turned around and left.

Li Xuan picked up a xiaolongbao again and put it in his mouth.

Li Xuan ate very slowly, and before half of the xiaolongbao in the cage drawer was eaten, Zhang Qiniang outside had already come.

A green goldfish pattern full-breasted skirt, draped in a white gauze, slightly taller than an ordinary woman's figure, graceful and graceful when walking, but there is a sense of weak willow supporting the wind, delicate flowers shine on the water, light willows, demure to walk.

Qiniang Zhang Lu'er stopped three steps away, then blessed her body slightly, and said softly: "Concubine Zhang Lu'er, I have seen the king of Nanchang, the prince Qianqiu." ”

Li Xuan turned her head sideways, looked at Zhang Lu'er calmly and said, "Get up." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Lu'er got up and raised her head, and a pale white pear blossom-like face appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

When he got up, a touch of whiteness on his chest suddenly appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

Li Xuan looked at this scene with a calm expression.

After Zhang Qiniang got up, as if nothing had happened, she took out a confession from her sleeve, stepped forward with her hands, and respectfully handed it to Li Xuan.

The previous scene happened again, only this time for a longer time and more justifiably.

Li Xuan directly stretched out his hand, took the confession, glanced at it, put it aside, then looked at the stone bench opposite, and said, "Sit." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zhang Qiniang bowed slightly again, and then she straightened up and sat down.

Li Xuan asked lightly, "Have you ever seen His Royal Highness?" ”

Zhang Qiniang bowed her head and said, "Your Highness seems to be busy, and you don't have time to see the little girl." ”

Li Xuan nodded, his eyes fell on the xiaolongbao on the table, and then said casually perfunctorily: "Well, Your Highness has indeed been busy. ”

"Therefore, the little woman asked Uncle to write a confession seriously, and all the past contact between him and Ma Zhi, as well as the things after that, were all written in detail on this, and nothing was omitted." Zhang Qiniang showed a sad smile on her face: "The little girl's mother died early, and Aya has been busy, it was the uncle who brought up the little girl all the way, seeing him like this now, although the little woman hated it, she still hoped to save his life." ”

Li Xuan nodded, his eyes fell on the confession, indeed, Chen Xia wrote very much about his own affairs, but there were some very sensitive things missing, and there were also things related to others, and he didn't write much at all.

"Are you sure there's nothing missing here?" Li Xuan looked up at Zhang Qiniang, and said calmly: "If there is no omission, then the king will hand it over to Yushitai and Dali Temple for you." ”

Zhang Qiniang's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, her heart had sunk, and the king of Nanchang was obviously dissatisfied with this confession.

Zhang Qiniang hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the confession placed aside, and after reading it carefully, Zhang Qiniang frowned and said, "Lord Wang, is there anything wrong, it is recorded in detail!" ”

"Really?" Li Xuan raised her head lightly, and her sneering eyes fell directly into Zhang Qiniang's eyes, and Zhang Qiniang immediately gave her hand: "Please also ask the prince for advice?" ”

Li Xuan stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a xiaolongbao, and then said softly: "Didn't you ask him why he would think that when the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo came, he hoarded grain and grass in the rear of the army, transported military grain, and raised the price of grain. ”

Zhang Qiniang was stunned, the reason why Chen Xia did this was naturally because someone behind her was instigating.

And the person who instigated in secret is Zhang Luer, as well as her father, and even some unspeakable characters, Ma Zhi is just a role that fuels the troubles.

"Go back and ask, if he can explain everything about this, then maybe he can escape death, but if he can't do this, then in the end, he will have to go to the guillotine." After Li Xuan finished speaking, Xiaolongbao had already been put in his mouth, and then he bit it open.

Zhang Qiniang stood up, and then said, "Qi Niang understands, Qi Niang will go back." ”

Li Xuan finished breakfast, then waved his hand, and the maids around him came over and cleaned everything up.

Li Xuan returned to the hall, and in the hall, there were also countless people busy, and the sand table in the center of the hall had been perfected to Hezhou.

Mountains and forests, river villages, everything is clearly visible.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on the Rouge River in the center, and there were two galloping passages on both sides of the river, which could go straight to Hezhou.

Li Xuan's gaze went south from the Rouge River, the mountains and rivers in the south were undulating, steep and gentle, and finally, Li Xuan's gaze fell on a secret valley twenty miles away.

Faintly, there seems to be a mountain road that leads from the valley to the middle of the Rouge River, where the mountain wall is steep, but on the east side of the steep mountain wall, there is a gentle slope that extends from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, which is just right for the horses to charge.

Looking at the gentle slope, Li Xuan's breathing became heavy.

After a long time, Li Xuan suddenly turned around and walked towards the Generalissimo of the Marshal's Mansion.

In the Generalissimo's office, there are also many officials in it who are constantly busy, and the British King Yao Lingzhang is directing his subordinates to count and calculate something.

Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly to Yao Lingzhang, and then said: "Changshi, His Royal Highness, are you free now?" ”

"Yes, yes, as long as the prince comes, His Royal Highness will be free at any time." Yao Lingzhang's eyes were full of eagerness when he looked at Li Xuan.

"In this case, please trouble Changshi to go in and report it." Li Xuan nodded calmly.

Seeing Li Xuan so polite, Yao Lingzhang also breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand: "Wait a minute, the prince." ”

Watching Yao Lingzhang enter, Li Xuan stood calmly in place, not looking around, and soon, Yao Lingzhang had already come out of it, and then arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

Li Xuan bowed her head slightly, and then stepped into the inner room.

Li Xian sat on the couch, holding a book of this chapter in his hand and reading it carefully.

Li Xuan entered from outside, Li Xian looked up a little tiredly, and said bitterly: "Uncle Wang, the matter is very serious, the number of grain in the six counties in the nearby three states has been stolen and sold by more than sixty percent, if it cannot be made up, it will inevitably have no impact on the army." ”

"Let Di Renjie and Lu Yuanfang come to Taozhou slowly, His Royal Highness directly gave them a warrant, and used the official document of the Marshal's Mansion on the march of Taohe Road, asking the states to assassinate the history, they must find the reason for the loss of the grain in the treasury, and find a way to make up for it, whether it is killing people or raiding their homes, after all, everything must be prepared before the war, otherwise, all the following assassins will be imprisoned."

Afterwards, Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, Lu Yushi and Di Sicheng can clean everything up." ”

"I hope so." Li Xian sighed lightly and said, "The Tubo people really captured the greed of the people's hearts this time. ”

"One more thing." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Li Xian and said: "This time something like this happened, I'm afraid that other marching roads will strictly investigate the grain storage in the prefectures and counties, these things will inevitably be related to the families of the various states, therefore, there will not be too many family patriarchs who come to visit at the moment, Your Highness can handle it by himself, tomorrow, the minister will go to Hezhou as expected, Yan Guogong and Hezhou, and also need to find out the details." ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, then said with a wry smile: "Has it been five days?" ”

"After the minister leaves, please also ask Your Highness to strictly guard the door, there is no need, don't let strangers enter the house at will, even if someone comes, only one or two people are allowed to enter the door, please remember." Li Xuan said, bowing slightly, his face solemn.

Li Xian nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, Xian has written it down." ”

"In this way, the minister will rest assured, after the affairs of Hezhou are properly handled, within three or five days, the minister will return to Taozhou." Li Xuan stood up and arched his hand: "The minister still has to go to the barracks, and things over there also need to be arranged, and the whole Taozhou is not as calm as it seems." ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, San Lang will be careful." ”

Li Xuan turned around to say goodbye, and Li Xian looked at Li Xuan's back and left, looking melancholy.

……

Assassinating the History Mansion, Zhang Qiniang handed a short note to Zhang Yungong, and then said: "The king of Nanchang has just gone to the barracks, and it should be arranged for him to be on guard and duty after he leaves." ”

"From the eve before to the present, the King of Nanchang is only inspecting the grain depot of the state and county, and has not done much else, and His Royal Highness has not left the Marshal's Mansion." Zhang Yungong raised his head and said softly: "Then tomorrow, everything will go according to schedule." ”

"Aya, Taozhou is under the 3,000 cavalry of Tubo, can it really not be defended?" Zhang Qiniang's expression showed a hint of unwillingness.

Zhang Yungong shook his head calmly and said: "If there are fewer people, we can still defend according to the strength, but the right guard cavalry is not in our hands, and we can't make an active defense, so we can only use them to delay the attack of the Tubo people, and then lead His Royal Highness the King to escape from Taozhou, and then whether we go to Lizhou or Hezhou, we can easily deal with it." ”

"At that time, if the imperial court investigates it?"

"Protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the King of England, this is the duty of the King of Nanchang, Your Majesty will investigate it, that is also the King of Nanchang before he found out whether Taozhou is safe, he rashly abandoned His Royal Highness and went to Hezhou, all the sins are his." Zhang Yungong said lightly, and Li Xuan was pitted.

Zhang Qiniang nodded slightly, and said softly: "So, then tomorrow, everything depends on the king of Nanchang." ”
