Chapter 176: Familiar Ones
Light song and dance, no.
Good food, good wine, no.
The feast lasted for three days, and there was none.
The news of Bai Xia's recovery was only circulating in a small area, and she intended to reduce her influence on Liu Yunzhai and the people in Wei County, and improve Li Xiuyuan's status among these people, so she didn't plan to meet the deceased for a while.
But Li Xiuyuan didn't.
He summoned Li San'er, Zhu Zi, Yu Dahai, Liu Tai, Wu Ziying, Xie Dafu, Qishan and other key members of Liu Yunzhai to set up a banquet for Bai Xia to celebrate her good news.
Doctor Xie only had medical skills in his eyes, and finally had time to catch Bai Xia to take a good look, so he grabbed her and looked at her for a full hour.
"Weird"
"It's still the same pulse, what's the matter?"
He frowned, as if he didn't want Bai Xia to get better.
"Uncle Xie Shi"
Wu Ziying called him helplessly, reminding him to pay attention to his words, didn't he see Li Xiuyuan's face darkened next to him?
"Ha, I know, I know, I'm just weird, I don't mean anything else"
Dr. Xie snorted and overcame the matter, but in fact, after the banquet was dispersed, the lights in his room were turned on overnight, and only a few well-preserved medical books were turned over.
At the banquet, everyone didn't talk much, basically Li Xiuyuan and others were talking, Bai Xia only focused on eating, like an outsider.
"I heard that the new Wei County Commander is surnamed Wang, and it turns out that he was born in Xiucai, so I haven't found out any other news."
Bai Xia drank the soup and looked up at the person who spoke.
It is Qishan, who has grown into an intelligence leader, he is fourteen years old this year, and in ancient times, he was already the one who began to discuss relatives and wanted to stand up for the door.
He only has his sister in the family, and he has long been the head of the family, and he can support himself and his sister on his own.
A year has passed, his martial arts have increased, and his ability to spy on intelligence has also increased, at least he has touched a little bit of the news of this Wei County magistrate, although it is only the simplest surname and identity, but it is not bad.
Speaking of the surname Wang, and he was born in Xiucai, Bai Xia thought of someone.
Wang Lu, Wang Xiucai, who led the people of Ganzhou to flee the famine.
After they told him about the problem with the road map, they left the entire refugee team behind, and Wang Xiucai, who left.
Could it be him?
Bai Xia speculated in his heart, and suddenly chuckled, there are so many talents surnamed Wang in the world, how can they all be people they know, maybe it's just a coincidence, the person who happened to be sent over is surnamed Wang, and he is just a showman.
She drank the soup to herself.
At the table, Liu Tai looked at her frequently.
I wonder if she's not the same as she was a year ago.
In this year, he didn't think about robbing Li Xiuyuan of the position of the owner of the village and the position of the number one in Wei County, but whenever he saw Li Xiuyuan handling official business until late at night, and a lot of hair fell out at a young age, the thoughts in his heart were dispelled.
He is now basically equal to the number one in the barracks, and there are many people under him who can call him, and Li Xiuyuan, the boss, gives them a salary.
Although I was still curious about how Bai Xia could conjure so much food, I didn't have to know.
At a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, celebrating Bai Xia's recovery, and discussing the countermeasures for the appointment of the county magistrate of Wei County.
When she arrived at the dismissal, Bai Xia returned to the room arranged for her by Li Xiuyuan, and just as she was about to rest, there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door, and Li Xiuyuan stood outside holding the thin quilt.
"I ...... I'll sleep with you tonight."
He stood there, his face flushed, his hands clutching the quilt tightly.
Bai Xia's gaze followed his hand and fell on his head, his hair was a little darker and brighter than before her illness, but the volume of hair didn't seem to grow much.
"Come in"
Considering that he was still injured and needed someone to take care of him, Bai Xia nodded and let him in.
He was lying on the inside, and Bai Xia was lying on the outside.
One is ten years old and the other is six years old.
are still children, but there is no big defense between men and women, not to mention that Bai Xia still has the marriage book of the two, and there is nothing to say about the legitimate husband and wife.
"Bai Xia, have you slept?"
Extinguishing the candle, Bai Xia closed her eyes and looked at the top of the bed, she was not sleepy.
Obviously, Li Xiuyuan is not sleepy.
"Not yet"
Hearing that she didn't sleep either, Li Xiuyuan came to his senses.
He lay on the bed in an orderly manner, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and turned his head to Bai Xia's side.
"I discussed with them, and when the county order of Wei County came, let them entertain them."
Well?
And what about him?
Bai Xia had a question in his heart, so he asked.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Now there is a trend of great prosperity in the imperial court, it is better to be quiet than to move, I am still young, even if I have the authority in my hand now, it is difficult to convince the public, and Zhou Shizi, the king of Jizhou and other candidates are looking at each other, and now I am facing Zhou Shizi and the imperial court, which is not good for me."
"I'm going to lie dormant and take advantage of the rare peace to go out for a walk"
He said what he was going to do.
"Will he let you go?" She was referring to Zhou Shizi.
Zhou Shizi himself is a member of the royal family, he wants to rebel and overthrow the emperor's rule, he is not reasonable, although some of the old ministers in the court support him, but the military power is in the hands of the emperor, and it is difficult for him to become a big weapon.
In this case, they can only muddy the situation, privately build weapons, train private soldiers, and then use the former ministers of the former dynasty to stir up the wind and rain, with the intention of jumping up.
It is impossible to say that this matter is not possible without the support of King Liang.
Although their power is not comparable to that of the emperor, it is still easy to pinch a Li Xiuyuan to death.
Li Xiuyuan wanted to run, but the other party might not let him go.
"I'm not a soft persimmon, let him come if there's anything"
Li Xiuyuan said coldly, he just didn't want to confront them head-on, but it didn't mean that he was afraid of them.
After a few simple words, the two fell asleep, and early the next morning, Bai Xia got up and went to the county seat to hang out, while Li Xiuyuan continued to discuss the follow-up arrangements with others.
He can leave, but Wei County, which was finally taken, can't just give it up so easily, and he still has to make some deployments.
This discussion lasted for three days, and Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia sat on the horse and said goodbye to Liu Tai and others.
Many people in Wei County thought that they were just going back to Liu Yunzhai, and they didn't feel strange.
Bai Xia sat under the seat, or her exclusive mount Chasing the Wind before, in the past year, Li Xiuyuan has raised the Chasing Wind very well, fat and strong, with oily and slippery hair.
Leaving Wei County, the two walked towards Liu Yunzhai.
Li Xiuyuan discussed with Bai Xia, and then went to the north, aiming at Jizhou.
It was the fief of the five princes, King Jizhou.
In addition to exploring the local reality, because Li Xiuyuan's mother, Lin, was probably brought to Jizhou by the traveling merchants, so the destination was set there.
But before you go, you can't lose the connection with this side.
Li Xiuyuan ordered people to raise carrier pigeons for future transmission.
As soon as the two of them walked on their front feet, a green cloth carriage appeared on the official road outside Wei County, the carriage curtain was lifted, and the young man's face appeared in the carriage window.
Qi Shan, who was secretly staring and inquiring about the news, noticed the carriage, and his eyes suddenly froze.
Summoned a person, whispered in his ear for a while, and the man quietly left.
