Li Xiantong and his entourage rushed for another day, arrived at the outskirts of Tibet in the middle of the night, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they decided to enter the city early in the morning after dawn the next day.

The next day, Li Xiantong and his entourage of 80 people waited outside the city of Zangzhou for the deputy general of the general's mansion who came to greet them. Yu Da is short, but he is a native of Tibet, good at marksmanship, and is the right-hand man of General Liao.

After Yu Da introduced himself, Li Xiantong also introduced his eldest son and second son, as well as Wu Ding. Yu Da laughed and said that Wu Ding's appearance was amazing, and Wu Ding also responded that Yu Daqi was talented, and the implication was that it was not easy for Yu Da to be an adjutant like this. Yu Da knew that he was praising himself, so he couldn't help but be humble, showing two big yellow teeth.

After this batch of goods was picked up by the garrison of Zangzhou City, Li Xiantong and his entourage thanked Liao for his kindness, and went into the city to find an inn to rest, preparing to set off the next day after sleeping and drinking enough.

In the evening, his subordinates all ate in batches, and when the moon appeared, Li Xiantong got up and went downstairs with Wu Ding, and it happened that his son Li Baohu was eating supper, so they sat down together.

Li Baohu gulped down Yangchun noodles and braised beef, and Li Xiantong said with disgust: "Such a big person, the family has also become a family, and there is still no food at all." ”

"Dad, it's not like you don't understand me. Li Baohu said while eating: "I have eaten a lot since I was a child, and the food in this small inn is so small, it is normal to not eat enough." ”

Wu Ding said with a smile: "It is a blessing for the eldest prince to be able to eat, and he has all his strength, and everyone says that he is the most like the boss." ”

Li Xiantong used to be a strict father in the past, and said with a straight face: "If he was to me, then I would not be where I am today." ”

Li Baohu understood his father's temper, was stunned for a moment, and continued to eat noodles.

Suddenly, the door of the inn was pushed open, and the shopkeeper hurriedly went out to greet him, but it was two officials.

I only heard the two soldiers ask arrogantly, "Does Marquis Li live here?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment: "Master Hou, we have never entertained people of this status." ”

Inside the house, Li Xiantong shouted: "I am Li Xiantong, who is coming?"

Seeing this, the two soldiers pushed open the shop and broke in, and when they were three steps away, they knelt on one knee and said, "Yang Yan and Li Tong, the guards of the General's Mansion, see Hou Ye." ”

"You guys are ......," Li Xiantong looked confused. Wu Ding and Li Baohu also felt strange, the goods were all taken away, could it be that they wanted to come to Li Xiantong to catch up with the old days? Even if they were renewing the old days, they shouldn't have come so late......

"Master Hou. Yang Yan raised his head and said, "Our General Liao invited the Hou Ye to the mansion to talk." “

Li Xian channel: "I got the intention, but we have to go tomorrow, so we won't go." “

"Master Hou. Yang Yan raised his voice and said, "Please go down with your subordinates, otherwise, ...... Otherwise, the subordinates will go back to lead the army. “

Li Xiantong frowned and asked, "What kind of rule is this?"

"Master Hou forgives the sin, this is the rule of the General's Mansion!" both of them bowed their heads tightly. Don't push Li Xiantong at the moment, as soon as these words come out, they are forcing Li Xiantong to go, otherwise Li Xiantong will be a wicked person.

Li Baohu also stood up and asked, "Did you generals invite people like this? It's almost the night." ”

Li Xiantong frowned, and said for a long time: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Wu Ding and Li Baohu wanted to accompany them, but they were stopped by these two sergeants. Li Xiantong turned back to Li Baohu and said, "It's better to rest at night, and I'm going to hurry tomorrow." "Ranwen

Tibetan General's Mansion.

The silent streets were empty, and walking into the streets and alleys, there was a tall mansion, which was the general's mansion in Tibet.

Li Xiantong was introduced by two Liao Qian's personal guards, and made a detour all the way to the living room in front of Liao. When Liao Qian saw Li Xiantong coming, he took the initiative to stand up, greeted him with a smile and asked, "Presumably Your Excellency is Master Li Xiantong, the Marquis of Xiaoyao." “

Li Xiantong said with a smile: "The name of the Hou Ye is vain, and the name of the adult is not daring, Li is just a businessman, doing the business of transporting goods for the dart bureau." Your Excellency is the former general Liao?"

"Exactly. Liao Qian confirmed his identity and invited Li Xiantong to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Liao Qian said: "None of us are civil officials in the imperial court, so let's get straight to the point." I don't know if this batch of bows and arrows has been delivered? Why did you enter the city?"

Li Xiantong frowned and asked, "What's the matter, General Yu Da picked up the goods at the gate of the city this morning, and hasn't they been delivered to the barracks yet?"

General Liao Qian also looked puzzled: "General Yu Da? He personally told me that he didn't receive the goods, Lord Li, are you joking with Liao?"

Li Xiandao: "That's impossible. Today, it was indeed General Yu Da who took the goods. ”

Liao Qian didn't say much, and shouted directly: "Yu Da, come in!"

The one who came in was also a short general, but it was much more pleasing to the eye than the one in the morning. Li Xiantong was shocked: "This person doesn't seem to be the one who handed over to me this morning." ”

Yu Da met Li Xiantong very politely, and said: "I arrived at the city gate at the appointed time before noon, but I didn't see Lord Hou's people. ”

Li Xiantong frowned and said, "The person who came to the joint today was not sent by General Liao Qian?"

Liao Qian said solemnly: "Hou Ye is really joking, what can be said in the letter is the end of the time, not the beginning of the time, why is Hou Ye so rash?"

Li Xiandao: "I thought it was you who came to pick up early." ”

Liao Qian's face suddenly became serious: "Master Hou, do you know that this batch of goods is for the frontier army, and they are all purchased with the money paid by the people. If it is lost, and the military supplies are not guaranteed, it is the people, and it is difficult to escape the blame. “

Li Xiantong frowned and confirmed again: "General Liao, did you really not receive this batch of goods?"

Liao Qian replied without blinking: "It's true." ”

"That's good. Li Xiantong is a tough guy, and he won't show a hurry when he encounters this kind of thing, but at the moment his heart is very anxious, he thought that at most Hong Erlang would stop the goods, but he didn't expect to be put on the table. I blamed myself for being too confident and forgetting to interrogate the identities of the bunch of people outside the city.

"Master Hou. Liao Qian called and pulled Li Xiantong out of his thoughts: "Master Hou, this general can take care of this matter for you for a few days, but after the days have passed, you can no longer keep the fire." Hou Ye now, whether to leave or stay? If you go, Liao will personally send it out of the city, and if you stay, I hope that Hou Ye will pay more attention to where this batch of goods goes. Liao has to be in charge of border defense these days, and there is no manpower in the city. “

Li Xiantong thought for a while and said: "The matter has come to this, then Li will stay and find this batch of goods for General Liao to atone for his sins." Since General Liao can't free up manpower, then Li uses his own people, and he is also a handful. “

"So much for the best. Liao Qian said in a flat tone: "I still hope that Hou Ye will do his best, if he really can't find it, then the Hou Ye can say it clearly where Liao is needed." Liao has heard the name of Hou Ye for a long time, and if he is responsible for Hou Ye, it will be an honor. “

"Don't dare. Li Xiantong turned his face sideways, and the anger on his face overflowed.
