The military exercises of the three armies have ended, the drums and horns of the troops withdrawn and returned to the camp began to sound, and the generals of the various armies are still a little unsatisfied, leading the soldiers and horses to withdraw from the Longqiao site in an orderly manner.

The civil and military forces who watched the ceremony also left one after another, and the people and children of the big clans outside the fence also dispersed, still excitedly discussing these troops and generals with their companions along the way.

Soon, the torrential rain that connected the heavens and the earth poured down, and many people ran wildly in the rain and ran back to the city.

Meanwhile.

Su Chen took the ancestral locomotive to the nearest medical hall from Dongwu Gate, after all, this is the closest, although there are also military attendants, but it is impossible to delay Li Xuanba back to the house for treatment, and it will be delayed for too long on the way.

Heavy rain fell on the roofs of the houses, weaving beaded curtains on the eaves.

Su Chen led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wu Zixun to walk under the eaves, and Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, and several generals who were waiting outside the door were about to salute, but were interrupted by Su Chen raising his hand.

"No need to salute, what's going on inside?"

"Lang Zhong hasn't come out yet."

Qin Qiong withdrew his hand and glanced at the closed door, "Lang Zhong in the army is also inside, when the minister brought Xuanba over, he had no external injuries on his body, and there was no scorched black from lightning strikes, so it would not be a big problem." ”

Regardless of this world, or the Chinese dynasties in later generations, there are many people who are struck by lightning during thunderstorms, and there is nothing strange or strange in this regard.

Su Chen nodded, and then waited outside the door with Dian Wei for a while, and after about half an hour, Huo Quzhi, Li Jing and others also came over, met Su Chen, and waited here together.

"That stupid big guy should be fine." Huo Quzhi was arrogant by nature, but he was inexplicably interested in Li Xuanba, probably because the other party was young and had been locked up in another hospital for many years, so he didn't have any heart, and he felt comfortable getting along.

After a few moments, there was a soft squeak.

The door opened slowly, and Lang Zhong in the hall came out of it first, and when he saw Su Chen and a senior general in the army, he was so frightened that he was about to kneel down, and was dragged up by Wei Chigong.

"How's the people inside?"

"Back to Your Majesty and the generals, it's no big deal."

Su Chen listened to Na Langzhong's words, crossed the other party and walked straight across the threshold into the room, and Lang Zhong was wiping his hands and feet with Li Xuanba, who was sleeping on the wooden bed, and when he saw the emperor coming, he pinched the towel and retreated to the side, and called respectfully: "Meet Your Majesty." ”

"No need to be polite, why didn't he wake up if it's fine?"

Su Chen sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Li Xuanba, who had taken off his armor and was still in a coma, put his hand back into the futon, and then carefully examined his appearance, there was no change, and there was no trace of burnt hair.

"Xuanba?"

called softly twice, and Li Xuanba on the bed did not react, but breathed evenly, as if he was sleeping. The soldier next to him followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, General Li can still be stable after being struck by lightning, his body has surpassed ordinary people, and he is still asleep at the moment, it should be caused by the excessive stimulation of the thunder in his head. ”

"Perhaps?" Su Chen looked at the other party with a slight sideways face.

Na Lang's mouth trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down: "Although lightning strikes are common, they have never been cured, so I can only try my best." ”

What he said is indeed the truth, most people are struck by lightning, and they basically die on the spot, or their bodies are burned to disability, and few people are treated by Lang Medicine, and Li Xuanba's body is beyond ordinary people, so he can resist lightning strikes and not damage his limbs.

"I believe in you, and go out first."

Su Chen raised his sleeves and waved outward, and Na Lang bowed and exited the room, gently closing the door. In an instant, Li Shimin came in through the wall, stood in front of the bed, and called Li Xuanba on the bed twice.

It seemed that when he heard the voice of the second brother, Li Xuanba on the bed moved slightly, and his eyeballs rolled under his eyelids.

After a while, his eyes slowly opened, and when he saw Su Chen and Li Shimin beside the bed, he spoke: "Second brother...... Your Majesty...... Am I being hit by a thief? ”

"Hit, but it's okay, you're okay." Li Shimin felt sorry for this younger brother when he was a child, he sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to hold Li Xuanba's hand, and whispered comfort: "Xuanba is fine, just rest for a few days." ”

"Second brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

Li Xuanba pulled out his hand from the futon and rubbed his head, "Your Majesty, don't give me a title casually as a reward, but you want to build a belt for me so that others can know at a glance that I am the number one general of the Xia Kingdom!" ”

Listening to his words, Su Chen didn't react at first, but after a little recollection, he pushed Li Shimin with his elbow.

"Your Majesty, have you noticed that Xuan Ba is talking...... Something different? ”

"Like...... Cognition is a little higher. ”

The two glanced at each other, slightly surprised in their hearts, didn't this thunder make Li Xuanba a little higher from his previous cognition? It's not much the same as the original, but it's a lot better.

"Xuanba, do you feel anything different?" Su Chen continued to ask.

Li Xuanba looked at Su Chen and his second brother a little strangely, frowned and shook his head: "No, I just feel that I can think of more things...... By the way, Your Majesty, you must remember to make me a tiger head belt, the majestic kind! ”

Yes, I still can't forget it.

"Good!"

Seeing that people were fine, Su Chen was also happy, and immediately asked Li Jing and Huo Qu outside to come in to visit, and a group of generals crowded in front of the bed, pinching Li Xuanba's face and pulling it around without an image, after all, this is Li Shimin's younger brother, that is, the general in the Tang army, and he took the lead to greatly increase the face of their Tang Dynasty generals.

Huo Quzhi also patted him heavily on the thigh: "Hurry up and heal your injuries, and I'll take you outside the city to ride a horse another day." ”

"Oh...... That...... Then you have to teach ...... well" Li Xuanba's face was rubbed back and forth by several big hands, and his voice became intermittent.

Leaving this place to them, Su Chen quietly withdrew from the room, took Dian Wei and Xu Chu outside, and asked Wu Zixun to make the tiger head belt that Li Xuanba asked for later, and at the same time, let him go to the palace to send the envoys of Wu State to the palace, so as not to let the envoys of the other three kingdoms know.

On the way back to the city, the voices of the emperors sounded in the spiritual seats in the car.

"What does this mean?" Liu Yu was a little puzzled, "Didn't you just summon the envoys of the Yue Kingdom?" ”

"This doesn't need to be asked, it must be to drive the tiger and devour the wolf!" Cao Pi showed his figure, leaning against the wall of the box, without Cao Cao, he talked a lot.

"Haha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's spiritual position jumped out of the groove, and he said with a smile: "Changsheng is bad, this is to make Wu and Yue's brains come out." ”

Su Chen sat on the big tiger skin chair and smiled and didn't speak, he wanted to recuperate, how could he let the other four countries develop with peace of mind, the economy in the northwest would be cut off, and the south would create disputes, pull one in the open, pull one in secret, and don't let them stop in the past two years.

In his thoughts, the ancestral chariot returned to the palace, and the soldiers moved the spiritual seats of the ancestors and ancestors into the temple, Su Chen looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who had not spoken for a long time, and felt bad in his heart, if it weren't for them, sacrifice incense, bless Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, and them, and fight against a country with a single army, even if they win, it would be a residual victory.

"Dao Chief, how can Emperor Wei Wu and Emperor Zhaolie come back?" Su Chen saluted the incense, inserted the incense burner and asked the Taoist priest who was chanting on the side.

Li Tiangang rolled his eyes, and only then did he think of him.

"Your Majesty respects the incense more, remembers their goodness more, and comes back if you can't say it."

"What about the First Emperor? ascended the throne that day, obviously he didn't unlock him, but he was able to possess him, what happened? ”

Hearing this, Li Tiangang was stunned for a moment, he pinched his fingers for a while, then stopped abruptly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, do you know why you took the word Changsheng?" ”

Does this have anything to do with my words?

"My expression was taken by an old man who passed away from the Fang family, and the meaning is eternal and unchanging, and it will last forever."

Li Tiangang stroked his chin and long beard, opened his eyes slightly, looked at Su Chen, who was also looking at him, and smiled: "Hehe, what is the greatest wish of the First Emperor in his life?" ”

Here, Su Chen blurted out without thinking about it: "Immortal." ”

"That's right, everything is fixed, and Poor Dao is optimistic about you."

Su Chen frowned, "Dao Chief, you're not right, half of what you say, half of what you hide, so it's mysterious, it will make people think cranky." ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and if you talk too much, it will make Your Majesty think cranky."

On the altar table of the temple, a group of curious gossips gathered together, leaned over the upper half of the spirit card, looked at Su Chen curiously, and looked at Daoist Li curiously, and then muttered to each other and asked:

"What do you understand?" Song Taizu looked back at the other emperors.

All the spirit positions shook the spirit cards in unison.

Su Chen, who didn't get a reply here, arched his hand to the emperors, chatted and left, he didn't come to unlock the emperor, so there was no need to stay long, and he was thinking about Li Tiangang's words just now all the way out of the temple.

chatted about the First Emperor, how did it get to him.

What does it have to do with his words?

It doesn't mean that he is the First Emperor, right? That's too, although he didn't have a bad life in his previous life, he was not a man of great talent like the First Emperor.

In the afternoon, a eunuch came quickly, whispered a few words in the ear of Wu Zixun, who was catching him, and then retreated to the side.

"Your Majesty, Liu Guangchen, the envoy of the State of Wu, is already waiting in Wenxin Pavilion."

The so-called Wenxin Pavilion is just a remote small attic in the front palace, it is the place where Zhao Chuanting, the emperor of the Wei State, has nothing to do to raise flowers and read books to recuperate Wenyun, compared with the main hall, it is not magnificent and atmospheric.

On the contrary, there are potted flower beds all around, a small pond and a pavilion outside, and the attic is a two-storey terrace with a south-facing terrace on which you can enjoy the scenery of the flower beds in summer.

Liu Guangchen sat in the hall on the first floor, with the tea served by the palace maid in his hand, the tea fragrance was overflowing, and it was the high-grade tribute tea from Suizhou.

In the morning, he saw that Meng Dan, the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, was summoned alone, and the Emperor of the Xia State was drinking and laughing on the high platform, and when he came back, his face was full of red light, and his eyes were full of contempt, which made Liu Guangchen a little restless, if the Xia and Yue countries reached some kind of agreement, would the two countries send troops to the Wu State?

When he was thinking about countermeasures, a eunuch came over outside the door and said in a low voice: "Envoy Liu, Your Majesty has arrived." ”

As soon as the words fell, the footsteps outside had spread in, Su Chen stepped across the threshold, stretched out his hand and pressed it towards Liu Guangchen, who got up and saluted, and then walked straight to the first seat, Dian Wei followed in and stood on one side, Xu Chu stood at the door with a knife, looking around.

The palace maid Shi Shiran served tea, trying her best to highlight her figure in front of the emperor, and after retreating with lotus steps, Su Chen raised her hand and motioned for the other party to sit down, and then talked about business.

"Envoy Liu, I won't go around in circles, I'm looking for you today, I have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"You Wu monarchs and ministers, you may not know that Yue Guo sent a letter of state as early as when I ascended the throne, and I will be married to Daxia forever."

Su Chen opened his mouth first with such a sentence.

Liu Guangchen, who was on the opposite side, had a look of horror in his eyes, and for a moment, he asked softly in a tentative tone, "Your Majesty agreed?" ”

"Why didn't you say yes?"

Su Chen looked at the other party with a smile, and pointed his finger on the arm of the chair: "I want to recuperate, I won't fight for the time being, Yue Guo is the first to hand over the letter of state and marry my Great Xia, such a face-saving thing, how can I refuse, this morning, Meng Dan said that his imperial brother has a daughter who wants to marry me as a concubine and become an ally by marriage." ”

On the other side, Liu Guangchen lowered his eyes, and the expression on his face was quickly pressed down by him, but in his heart, he undoubtedly scolded Yue Guo up and down, the other party's speed is faster than a dog!

However, he quickly reacted, Su Chen asked him to come here, and said that there must be a turning point in him.

"Your Majesty called the foreign minister, and told the foreign minister about the matter, I don't know what Your Majesty's intentions are?"

"I'm ...... I don't like Yue Country very much, the mountains are barren, and the people are treacherous and untrustworthy. ”

Su Chen's smile was even bigger, he picked up the tea and blew away the hot air, and the fragrance of the tea was fragrant, and he said softly: "In contrast, I prefer the singing and dancing in the land of Jianghuai, and the prosperity of thousands of sails. ”

Putting down the teacup, his tone paused.

"And in the dispute between Wu and Yue, I don't look down on what Yue Guo did, and treat and kill Wu people in the territory harshly, so that the two countries are in constant disputes, such monarchs and ministers, I really don't look down on them, but I first accepted the letter of Yue Guo before, and it is not good to go back on my word. However, Liu Envoy can rest assured that my heart is on the side of your Wu Kingdom. ”

The words hinted at this, how could Liu Guangchen still not understand what Su Chen meant, and even if he saw Su Chen's swaggering conspiracy, he had no way not to agree.

"What does Your Majesty want?"

"I'm not so greedy, I don't want you to have a city and a place in Wuguo, and I don't want the dangers of the Huaijiang River." Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he said the purpose: "Your Wu country is not comparable to the Yue country on land, one is the source of soldiers, the other is the armor and crossbow, the first I can't help you, but the arrows, arrows, weapons and armor are also okay, and I can sell them to you in a steady stream at that time." ”

This is precisely the weakness of Wu Guo.

Wu has many merchants, warships, bows and arrows, and there is a great need for copper and iron ore, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers and armor to be prepared for soldiers, so that the dispute with Yue has always been at a disadvantage.

If you can buy these things, then the army will naturally be greatly improved, even if it is not as good as Yue Guo, but it will not suffer defeat everywhere.

Anyway, Wu Guo lacks everything, but he is not short of money.

Thinking of this, Liu Guangchen once again confirmed to the Emperor of Xia in front of him: "Your Majesty, is this really the case?" ”

"It's natural, I'll never open my mouth indiscriminately, since I said it, I'll do it!"

Liu Guangchen was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately got up and thanked him, and after discussing the details of the arms deal between the two countries for a while, Su Chen sent him outside the attic and watched the other party leave.

He raised his hand and beckoned Wu Zixun to come over.

"Tell Yuan Feng to tidy up the old armor, bows, crossbows, arrows, and arrows of the Wei State, and wipe them with new ones, and their new owners will come to take them across the river in a short time."
