Chapter 589: Can't refuse

Xiao Han turned his head to look at the two of them and smiled: "The two adults have worked hard, please hurry up." Li Yanning and Wang Yanan were originally one of Li Congshan's four generals, and after the coup d'Γ©tat, they were all given the post of commander, but the four of them still served as Li Congshan's guards in the palace.

Seeing that the two of them actually came in person, Xiao Han was still a little strange, and after a few words of greeting with the two of them, he led the two to the guest room, and Li Yueying naturally followed. Murong Qiuyu, Chu Tianshu and the others knew that they had something to say, so they avoided it from afar.

Wang Yanan's expression was slightly strange and said: "We came to Tokyo in the starry night, and I heard that the concubine went to visit Kaifeng Mansion Yin, but fortunately, there was a princess left behind, and I didn't miss the right thing." ”

Listening to the strings and songs, Xiao Han knew that they must have something to do when he heard his voice, maybe it was related to the war. Sure enough, without waiting for Xiao Han to ask, Li Yanning had already answered: "The emperor is seriously ill now, please ask the master and the princess to go back to Jinling." ”

Li Yueying was startled, and changed color and said: "How could the imperial brother suddenly become seriously ill?" Xiao Han observed the words, and saw that the expressions of the two were solemn, and he couldn't tell the truth from the false for a while, so he said tentatively: "If you are sick, you will be treated by the imperial doctor, I am a figure in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how to heal, even if I go back, it will be useless, if you don't accompany the emperor in the palace, what's the use of coming here to find me? Could it be that I think I am the divine doctor Hua Tuo and Bian Que?"

The two were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, Wang Yanan bowed and said: "The emperor raised the army of the country to destroy Panyu in one fell swoop, who knew that Liu Ling sent Pan Chongche to lead the troops to resist, set up an ambush in Xiongzhou, defeated more than 10,000 people of General Yanze of Yuanzhou, and killed 3,000 soldiers. He also sent his generals Pan Lang and Liu Tong to cross the Da Luling Mountains to attack our Tingzhou General Weixian and Jianzhou Guo Ran's two troops.

Pan thief is extremely cunning and fierce, knowing that our army is difficult to fight, set up countless crossbows and hidden arrows in the mountains, and dug several mountain roads, our army is difficult to move an inch, delayed for more than ten days, the generals challenged several times, all of which were rejected by Pan thief.

General Guo Ran was furious, and personally led his troops to cross the mountain road to attack Rucheng, but he didn't expect to be hit by the elephant array set up by the Pan thief.

When the news reached Jinling, the emperor was so angry that he almost fainted, and suddenly fainted after staying in the next court. The emperor was concerned about the battle in Lingnan, and the daily war report of the Ministry of National Defense was unfavorable for the army. Wuling has a strong miasma, and many soldiers have been poisoned, and since the dispatch of the troops, 20,000 horses have been lost.

Hearing that Zhao Song and Wu Yue intended to send troops, the emperor was filled with grief and anger, so he ordered the two of us to come and invite the horses back to discuss state affairs. ”

After listening to him, Li Yueying's face turned pale and said: "What kind of illness does the imperial brother have?" The two bowed down and said: "The specific cause of the illness is not clear to the imperial doctor, only that it is caused by a rush to attack the heart, and now Minister Sun of the Ministry of National Defense does not dare to report the war report again, for fear of aggravating the emperor's condition." ”

Li Yanning continued: "The emperor misses the concubine and the princess, so he ordered the two of us to come in the starry night. Xiao Han looked at the two of them fixedly, and both of them had a worried look on their faces, and they couldn't see any clues.

Xiao Han has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and knows that people's hearts are the most afraid, what conspiracies and tricks emerge in endlessly, except for parents and relatives, everyone may be used by others and others. Not to mention anything else, the Thirty-six Strategies and the Art of War are used against their own people.

He has too many things to do now, for fear that Li Congshan will trick him into going back to help because the war is unfavorable. If you take the initiative to talk about the attack on the Southern Han, you are afraid that Xiao Han will provoke, so you will use illness as an excuse.

However, looking at the two of them did not look like they were fake, which made him a little embarrassed, and now there are eight days before June 16, if he returns to Jinling, he will miss the election of the suzerain, which will be harmful to his career. If you don't go back to help, and you're afraid that Li Congshan is really seriously ill, if you accidentally hang up, Li Yu will definitely make a comeback, which will be even more unfavorable to yourself.

The court battle has always been a matter of life and death, Xiao Han deliberately persuaded Li Congshan to kill Li Yu at that time, who knew that he took into account brotherhood like Li Yu and insisted on putting him under house arrest and exile. If Li Yu returns to the throne, not to mention that Li Yueying and him will be unlucky, it is estimated that there will be a bloody storm in Jiangnan, and it is estimated that none of the people who participated in the coup will be able to escape, and by the way, all his efforts to transform Jiangnan society will be ruined.

Li Yueying saw that his face was pale and uncertain, and said hurriedly: "What else do you want to think? Let's go back and see the imperial brother quickly." Xiao Han frowned and shook his head and said: "Naturally, I have to go back, but the Shaolin Conference is imminent, and the election of the sect master is also a big deal, and I am a new sect, how can I leave the table casually, and give the rivers and lakes a truth, and it will be cheaper for villains like Tang Wenxing." ”

Li Yueying heard that he was reasonable, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes and said, "What should I do then?" followed by tears pouring down her eyes, sobbing: "Brother Huang treats me best, I must go back to see." ”

Li Yanning and Wang Yanan stood aside, Xiao Han glanced at the two of them, and pondered: "The two generals see that this is good, you take the princess back to the palace to visit first, and I will go to Jinling after the Shaolin Conference in eight days, and ask the two to tell the emperor to recuperate quietly, Pan Chongche and Liu Ling'er are not a big problem, as long as the generals are not moving now, I will have my own strategy to break the enemy when I go back." ”

When the second general heard his agreement, he was immediately overjoyed, and at the same time bowed down and said, "Thank you, Master Ma." He said to Li Yueying: "The emperor and the queen miss the princess very much, shall we leave now?" Li Yueying nodded and said: "Wait for me to clean up, and we will go back." ”

Xiao Han shook his head and said, "How can you be in such a hurry? Early tomorrow morning, I will send Brother Chu, Brother Rui, and Brother Zuoqiu to escort you back." Li Yanning was stunned for a moment, bowed down and said: "Don't bother with the horse master, everything we came here this time was secretly protected by Minister Jin of the Ministry of Public Security, and we will be able to keep the princess safe." ”

Since the two of them said this, Xiao Han pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Wang Yanan proposed to leave overnight, and Xiao Han immediately called Murong Qiuyu to ask her to pack up, but in fact, there was nothing but a few changes of clothes.

Xiao Han knew that Nantang had released countless spies and spies in the Great Song Dynasty, so it was naturally inconvenient for outsiders to know, so he hid it from everyone, and only took Chu Tianshu and Murong Qiuyu to send the three of them out of the inn quietly.

After Li Yueying left, Xiao Han couldn't sleep anymore, so he walked out of the guest room accompanied by Murong Qiuyu, jumped on the roof and looked at the starry sky, Murong Qiuyu sat with him for half an hour, until Zuoqiu Feihong, who was on patrol at night, came to inquire before going back.

On the second day, everyone asked about their wife, and Xiao Han told them that the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty was seriously ill and wanted to see her sister-in-law, so she went back overnight. Everyone saw the arrival of Li Yanning and Wang Yanan, and they didn't suspect him, so they didn't ask anymore.

In the past few days, the Wudang disciples have been really comfortable, because there is everything in Tokyo to preside over the garment factory, and now there is no shortage of money to spend, eat and drink at will, in addition to not being allowed to eat flowers and wine, the Wudang disciples have visited the city of Tokyo, and they are really addicted to publicly-funded tourism.

Under the auspices of Chu Tianshu, more than 100 young and middle-aged people with good martial arts were selected to join the Wudang faction. In the past few days, there have been hundreds of people surrounding the inn where the Wudang faction is staying, and there is a boxing gym with more than 40 people who have expressed their willingness to join Wudang.

Xiao Han thought that there had been a lot of attrition in several wars, so he instructed Chu Tianshu to assess and accept people, and more than 120 middle-aged and young people who passed Xiao Han's examination were escorted back to Wudang Mountain to receive guidance and training from Bai Jiuxiao and Sima An, and after the training was completed, they were assigned to the four halls and twelve rudders as appropriate.

On the fifth day, Zhong Shenxiu, the new head of the Tianquan Palace of the Burning Heaven God Sect, came to visit and thank, and sent 100 taels of gold, 200 taels of silver, 300 taels of money, and 20 pieces of brocade.

The various sects stationed in Tokyo came to visit in turn after learning that Xiao Han had returned to Beijing, and Xiao Han took Murong Qiuyu to visit the four elders in person at the Tianshan Mountains, and unexpectedly saw that Lan Aoshuang actually lived there, and when he came out, he saw the three of them playing and wandering on the street.

Seeing Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu, the three of them were stunned, and then stepped forward to meet each other. Bi Rushuang is younger than before, although she is over fifty years old, her face is very bright, and her dress is also very trendy, wearing a red gown, but she compares the two evils who are younger than her next to her.

Sansha first met Xiao Han, and then greeted Murong Qiuyu. Murong Qiuyu is a saintess of the Divine Sect, although the scenery is no longer there, Sansha is also a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, knowing that Xiao Han is quite important to Yu Yunxi, and Murong Qiuyu is one of his future wives, so he naturally wants to be more affectionate.

Sikong Lianxing and Gongye Ziying had no friendship with him, and after a few cold words, they excused themselves and left, leaving the three of them to speak alone.

Xiao Han looked at her in a big red shirt, and couldn't help but smile and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Bi Nuxia, congratulations to Bi Nuxia, now that Uncle Li and Uncle Lan have reconciled, when I add another fire, I will be able to say that the old man and Uncle Diao are moved, your long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, I don't know what you will reward the boy?"

Bi Rushuang's old face was slightly red, and he suddenly looked at Murong Qiuyu and said, "Why is there only the saint girl left to accompany you, where is your flower-like lady?" Xiao Han talked about Jinling, Bi Rushuang nodded and said: "It's really a brother and sister, it's enviable." Suddenly displeased: "Li Tiandu is sticking with Lan Aoshuang like this, I have spent my life, but I ended up like this, it's like a dream to think about." ”

The indescribable loneliness in her tone made Xiao Han a little sentimental, and she glanced at Murong Qiuyu and comforted her: "Everyone is a person from the rivers and lakes, you must know that some things are not so simple to deal with, the senior Jun does not know where he is now, the kid promises to you that the matter between you and Uncle Li will definitely have a result within this year." ”

Bi Rushuang was happy at first, and then said dejectedly: "Jun Mowen is the head of the three evils, and he is a senior of a famous and decent teacher, if you accept a wicked person like me, you will be ridiculed by the words of the rivers and lakes." Xiao Han shook his head and said: "It's man-made, this problem is not a problem at all in the eyes of the kid, as long as you believe in the kid, whether it is the senior of the king, or the uncle of Diao, I will take it in one place, and then I will let the four elders of the Tianshan faction respectfully come to invite you to the elder." ”

After saying one sentence, Murong Qiuyu's old face turned red, Murong Qiuyu hurriedly diverted the topic, and after a few casual words, the two of them said goodbye to her and went back.

Less than a moment after returning to the guest room, I heard a person outside the door shouting, "Has the head of the house come back?"
