Lao Bai didn't want to dwell on this question, so he clapped his hands casually and asked, "Why are you staying here by yourself?"

Li Zi said honestly: "Shizi, they will go to the Huai Wangfu first, let me wait here for the old gentleman to go to the palace again." ”

Hearing this answer, Lao Bai didn't ask where a prince came from, turned around and looked at the city, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly slapped Li Zi's head again, and said, "Then don't you lead the way?"

Where did Li Zi know that this old fairy would have a temper for a while, and he covered his head and led Lao Bai to the palace, and wanted to ask something while walking, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Lao Bai's unkind gaze, and immediately closed his mouth honestly and led the way.

Zhaofu, who was standing in the corner not far away, looked at the appearance of the two people, turned around, and muttered, "Can this really be a Taoist priest?" ”

.....

In the palace guest room, Li Bad sat on the soft couch, took the teacup handed by Murong Qing, took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted the fragrance of the tea, and only after a long time did he speak: "This Huai Wangfu is really worthy of being a 'little palace', and the decoration specifications of this room alone are more luxurious than my entire courtyard." ”

Murong Lin took a sip of tea casually, sneered and said: "It seems that Zhao Ying, the king of Huai, has suffered a lot over the years, I said that Huainan, whether it is a foot soldier or a cavalryman, has been born tall and well-equipped over the years, and he can fit a squad with a desk casually." ”

"A few years ago, there was a cavalry army in the south that could be pulled out to compete with the Li family's cavalry, it could only be Huainan's statement, the original confidence came from here, and I wanted to open the treasury to build the palace in a big way, but I was afraid that it was a disguise, and the original intention was to smash out an army that was always on guard against the north. Li Bad took Murong Lin's words and continued.

Murong Lin just smiled contemptuously when he heard this, handed the empty teacup in his hand to Murong Qing, and smiled nonchalantly: " It's all a show, Huainan has not participated in the war for nearly 20 years since it was swept by our Li family, and it is Zhao Ying's old bottom that can be seen back then, so many years have passed, I am afraid that I can't get together 50,000, plus now the most ferocious Beiting million wolf riders were stopped by us outside the pass, and in another three or five years, Huainan, who can't touch the war all the year round, I'm afraid it's not much different from Jiangnan Wenweak, so the master insisted on taking Huaizhou right back then, if I am a Huainan general, such a soft knife grinding, suffocation is suffocated to death。 ”

"Haha, Lin Zi, you have been in Jiangnan for so many years, and you just commented on Jiangnan? Although there are many scholars in Jiangnan, but the court is occupied by these people, scholars don't use swords to kill people, be careful that this word spreads, so that they listen to it, and they must not scold you to death?" Li Bad immediately laughed when he heard Murong Lin's words.

Murong Lin shrugged his shoulders indifferently, if he can scold people to death, this land in the south of the Yangtze River scolds us barbarians every day, don't we still live well, glanced at Li Bad, and didn't refute, just stared at Li Bad's hand that was not honest and was reaching out to Murong Qing.

Li Bad suddenly turned a corner, reached out and took the teacup, drank the tea casually, and said: " But at the moment, I am more anxious to find out where the knife came, although this time it helped me, but I am always worried about such a character, whether it is good or bad, I always feel unsteady, and that Nanshan Taoist priest, I estimate, the eighty percent who stopped Lao Bai is Zhao Xian, and the Taoist priest who wants to kill me should be his younger brother, damn it, this old Wang Ba, it's really annoying, I don't know if Lao Bai can directly finish him with a sword, there is such an old immortal who specializes in making some crooked ways, it's really a bit aggrieved. ”

Murong Lin also nodded when he heard Li Bad's words, and replied: "When the peregrine falcon comes back, I will let the wandering eagle go to check, that swordsman is good to say, no matter whether the book is good or bad, it will help us after all, and it will not be unfavorable to us for a while, but Zhao Xian is a little tricky, after all, it is Nanshan." ”

"Nanshan doesn't care about him first, it's just Lin Zi, you said that the peregrine falcon is back, where did you greet him?" Li Bad said in wonder, this peregrine falcon Murong Lin generally won't call, unless there is any emergency, but he will also ask himself first.

Hearing Li Bad's question, Murong Lin slapped his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Zhao Yingxiang took advantage of the fire to rob before, I saw that the situation was wrong, so I gestured, I should have entered Huaizhou at this time, and you want me to send some wandering eagles over?"

Li Bad thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I thought about it, I should also give those goods who are still about to move a little color, Lao Tzu is walking the rivers and lakes, not here to play conspiracy with them." ”

"I just don't know who's coming?"

..........

"Is he really Murong Lin?, the Murong Yuan who escaped from Jiangnan?" In the palace study, Zhao Ying asked the middle-aged man beside him again.

The man nodded and said affirmatively: "The news from the capital is him, and it won't be wrong." ”

Zhao Ying, who was confirmed, had a flickering look in his eyes, as if he was making some kind of decision, hesitated, and then asked, "What do you think, sir?"

The middle-aged man who was called Mr. by Zhao Yingzun only thought for a while, and then said: "If there is only Li Huai, I am afraid that the prince's move will outweigh the losses, but if the two of them are here, the opportunity cannot be lost, but I am afraid that there are variables in this." ”

"What variables, sir, please!" Zhao Ying asked eagerly.

The middle-aged man stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "There are two, one is the little Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain, and the other is the old man who is now walking towards the palace with the Taoist priest." ”

Zhao Ying asked suspiciously: "It's just a little Taoist, there are so many Taoists in Wudang Mountain, why would Mr. include this little Taoist in the variables? And what is the origin of this old man?"

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "Lord Wang, don't underestimate this little Taoist, although he is young, but his seniority is extremely high, it is said that the Wang Zhangjiao who has ascended to immortal is his senior brother, and that old man, no matter how you check it, you can't find out his origin, the more I can't find it, the more worried I am." ”

When Zhao Ying heard the middle-aged man's words, he was also deep in thought, thinking about how to decide.

......

In the main city of Huaizhou, a cavalry army of about 500 people appeared at the gate of the city, since yesterday the little prince's peregrine falcon flew out of Beizhou, this cavalry army has been galloping to the south non-stop, as if there is something urgent.

The captain guarding the city saw from a distance this team of cavalry full of murderous aura, all of them were lightly armoured, light crossbows, and immediately equipped with short knives that were one foot shorter than the usual Li family's big sword.

As soon as they walked down the city, the cavalry had already rushed to the city gate, and they all turned over and dismounted, and out of a young general with a bookish face and a young man with an angry face came out, shouting loudly: "Five hundred horses, a stick of incense is ready for time." ”

"The last general Lian Yu takes the order!" The captain who didn't have time to come forward to greet him hurriedly responded, and after everything was arranged, he saw who was coming, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Yuan Gongzi, but you have an urgent military situation in such a posture?"

The young man, who was called Yuan Gongzi, smiled and stretched out his hand to punch Lian Yu's chest, and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, your kid has become a colonel and captain, this is not yesterday when the little bad brother's peregrine falcon rushed into Beizhou alone, the prince asked my father to send five hundred horsemen to Suizhou City to find the little bad brother, I won't come." ”

"Haha, if you want me to say that the little prince should have gone south a long time ago, these cubs in Huainan are crazy now, and they should have cleaned up a long time ago. ”
