Li Gongde was placed in the corridor outside the study by Sun Fulu. Xu Hun was tied up by five flowers. He was injured very much, and his clothes were stained with blood. He was surrounded by Li Gongde, a confidant escort, who was eyeing his spy. This person is a real master, and his cultivation is naturally good. He has always been as famous as the leader of the Liantang Gang, nicknamed Pooh Monkey, in the Lingzhou Jianghu. However, one of them still enjoys wealth and honor in the mansion. One night, he wiped out the whole house, and there was no complete body. It can be seen that being a guard and guard the house is much more comfortable than being a helpless wild dog. Li Gongde looked calm, closing his eyes and concentrating, but only two fists huddled in his cuffs were loose and clenched.

At the end of the road, he leaned against the white horse Yi from Hong Shuwen, who was born in the middle of the road, and was waiting for an opportunity to move. When Hong Shuwen stood up straight, Li Gongde suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw the prince's prince returning with Xu Beizhi on his back, the difference from the imagined scene was too big, and he was inevitably a little confused. Li Gongde was rolling over from the official dyeing vat. He immediately calmed down and asked the personal guard to leave first. This time the old man did not use a tinge to regard himself as an elder, but solemnly brushed his clothes and lit his sleeves, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Li Gongde came to avenge his prince overnight. I hope your prince will be remembered for more than 20 years of love, save Li Hanlin!"

Li Gongde could not see Xu Fengnian's expression. His Royal Highness probably handed over the drunk Xu Beizhi to Hong Shuwen first, then walked over quickly, held the arms of the generals of the General Staff, and tried to help him get up, but Li Gongde tried his best to bow his head and kneel down. His Royal Highness asked anxiously: "Why is Uncle Li doing this? How can Fengnian afford it? What's wrong with Hanlin? Uncle Li gets up and talks!"

Li Gongde said in a faint crying voice: "Your Highness, if you don't agree to save my son Hanlin, Li Gongde will not get up even if he kneels down here!"

Xu Fengnian, who was full of alcohol, said angrily: "I can do anyone without saving, but Hanlin cannot help but save him. How could he let Hanlin fall into danger? Uncle Li, why should he act like this? Could it be that you, as a military commander of the Northern Liang Dao, do something wrong with the Xu family's guilty thoughts?!"

Li Gongde raised his head and said with tears: "Your Highness, Li Gongde has been loyal to Beiliang for twenty years. God can tell you. The general's cultivation of the Li family has been rebuilt. Li Gongde believes that he will get rid of the crime of greed that he dare not deny, and he will have no different intentions towards Beiliang and Xu family!"

Xu Fengnian squatted in front of the unruly commander, and said softly: "Since that's the case, Uncle Li should get up and speak. Let's talk about who the person tied up is, why did Hanlin ask me to save him? There are no outsiders here, and you, my uncle and nephew can say it directly. If I can't do something, then I will beg Xu Xiao. I don't believe who can hurt Hanlin in Beiliang! Who can wrong the Li family!"

Li Gongde then stood up in a panic, wiped his tears with his sleeve, pointed his hand at Xu Hun, and said sternly: "This person's surname is Xu and his name is Hun. He is the confidant of the Jinluo weaving Li Xifeng, and he is also a secret spy of the Liyang court. A few years ago, he took his family out for spring. Li Xifeng, a cunning man, pretended to meet me, deliberately mentioned that this person was the young man of his distant relative's family. Then tonight, Xu Hun sneaked into the mansion crazy and sent the blue-eyed son's handwritten letter, threatening that as long as I, Li Gongde, would be willing to defect to Beiliang, and his status in the court in the future will be higher than that of Yan Jiexi's bastard, and said that Zhao Gou had already arranged the retreat of the Li family. How could Li Gongde be so ungrateful? He immediately turned this thief.

Take it down, but I feel sorry for my son Hanlin. He has been transferred to the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty by a military order. Now he has been forcibly escorted east along the northern border. I am afraid that he will enter the capital from Jizhou in a short time. Your Highness, although Li Gongde has no intention of betraying Beiliang, since he will be targeted by the insidious gangs of Li Xifeng and Xu Hun, it is because Li Gongde's strategy is not right, so they think they have an opportunity. No matter how Li Gongde and the general deal with Li Gongde afterwards, Li Gongde has no complaints at all. But Hanlin is the best. Your Highness knows the most. If he arrives in the capital, he will definitely be cut into pieces by the angry Biyaner and the Emperor of the Zhao family. Your Highness, you must save Hanlin..."

Xu Fengnian exhaled a breath and smiled, "So this is the case. Uncle Li should not be too worried. Come and go to the study to sit and have a tea. Fengnian will send a message to Xu Xiao, Chu Lushan and Youzhou general Huangfu Li, and will definitely guarantee to return Uncle Li to a safe and sound Li Hanlin!"

Li Gongde was about to nod and thank him, but suddenly widened his eyes. The prince, who had always smiled in front of him, might have dug out many secret golden lumps for Xu Hun, and he pushed it out with one palm, five fingers formed a hook, and directly tore half of Xu Hun's face off. Then he still seemed to think it was too troublesome. He stroked the immortal's head, but Xu Hun died on the spot without saying a word. Xu Feng was covered in blood.

Nian Man accidentally wiped his sleeves sloppyly, then carefully held the Lord Gongshuo with one hand and pushed the door with the other. The two of them crossed the threshold together. Xu Fengnian stopped, leaned back, and smiled at Xu Yanbing, "Please ask Uncle Xu to ask Hong Shuwen to send three secret letters quickly, and the last letter was given to Huangfu Li. He said that this prince allowed him to mobilize two thousand light cavalry privately and intercept him out of seclusion. By the way, I will call the servant to send a pot of hot tea."

Xu Yanbing nodded.

Li Gongde whispered: "Your Highness, Xu Hun is obviously not an ordinary spy. Li Gongde had the intention to trap his words before. It seems that Yan Jiexi fled to Beiliang and he also participated in it personally. With him in hand, there is no need to worry that Li Xifeng and Jinlu Weaving Bureau will not submit. It seems that it is safer to kill later."

Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled, "Uncle Li underestimated the strictness of these dead soldiers' mouths. Besides, in Beiliang, I am too lazy to care about Li Xifeng and the weaving bureau. Even if I have a reason to be successful, I will kill them as long as I want to. They are not relatives, and they are all hostile sides, and there is no need to be sympathetic. Doing such things depends on who is cruel and ruthless. The vergeant hawk fell on Zhao Gou's hands outside Beiliang. This is the same end. Otherwise, how to call the dead soldiers, the dead soldiers will not be called in vain."

Li Gongde listened to His Royal Highness's extremely leisurely and calm words, and when he sat down, he looked at the out-of-time gray-white end of the young man and did not speak.

Xu Fengnian comforted with a smile: "If Uncle Li thinks that Huangfu Li and two thousand elite cavalry are not enough, he can send another two hundred crossbowmen and one thousand cavalry."

Li Gongde quickly agreed and said, "Okay. Alas, this messy thing really makes Your Highness embarrassed."

Xu Fengnian waved his hand, and Xu Yanbing personally brought tea. Xu Fengnian told him the order to increase his troops and exit the customs urgently.

Xu Fengnian sneered: "What a Li Xifeng. If you don't Ming, you're already amazing. You have been a turtle in Beiliang for more than ten years. If you want to do it, you will do big business. You are addicted to dig the Xu family's walls. I don't know how to give the Zhao family a relative. Now I don't even want to let Uncle Li go. After tonight, I will go and weave this golden thread for a while. By then, he will not be as good as Xu Hun."

Li Gongde sighed and looked at Xu Fengnian, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, even though Li Gongde did not commit a crime, he also thought that he was ruined and had no face or intention to become an official. He also hoped that his highness would let Li Gongde retire and return home and become a farmer in Huangnan County. In fact, when he came to Lingzhou, Li Gongde had already had this idea. The backward wave of the river pushed the front wave, and the people of Beiliang wanted to have a forest of scholars. Li Gongde knew that his talent and knowledge were shallow, and his reputation was extremely different. Not to mention the second-rank strategy envoy, he was the Lingzhou sect who was also a member of the Lingzhou at that time.

Shi was unable to convince the public. At the beginning, His Highness was the General of Lingzhou, and Li Gongde thought that before resigning from office, he would have been able to fight for his Highness for a year or two, which would have fulfilled his wish to become an official in the Northern Liang Dynasty. It was public and indeed had selfish thoughts. He never thought that the officialdom of Lingzhou was just living in the general's mansion. Under Li Gongde's nose, the Lingzhou officialdom under Li Gongde's nose was immediately in chaos. At that time, Li Gongde knew that he was old, too young and had little qualifications. Instead of being scolded by others, it would be better to ask His Highness to be kind to him today and let Li Gongde return to his hometown to live his life."

Xu Feng lowered her head and blew the mist of tea, smiling without saying a word.

The study room was dimly lit, Li Gongde held the teacup in both hands to keep warm, the fog was steaming, and the faces and expressions of the old and the young seemed blurred.

Li Gongde carefully said, "Your Highness, Li Gongde resigned from his post and retired, not just avoiding suspicion. He really knew that it was difficult to take a big responsibility. When the first general of Beiliang Dao was the master, he would just drive the ducks to the shelves. If you want to talk about Li Gongde's official addiction, it would be almost satisfying. Now that the pattern of Beiliang has expanded and the atmosphere is new, Li Gongde doesn't read much, which is even worse than those of Wang Xihua and other scholars. But a few days ago, he saw Fu Zhen change the old charms on the doors, and he figured out a truth that he had never figured out before.

No matter how well written the Spring Festival couplet is, it is old and old after a year. Not to mention anything else, just looking at it is not festive enough, far less pleasing than the new couplet. Besides, Beiliang is full of vitality and talent is abundant. Your Highness is willing to rectify the officialdom. After all, the knowledge of the officialdom is nothing more than the essence of the three-character character. Therefore, as long as Li Gongde leaves, it is hard to say that everyone can be promoted to the officialdom. The most unfavorable person in the Northern Liang Dynasty can move upwards. This is to say that Li Gongde finally does something for Beiliang within his ability..."

Xu Fengnian interrupted: "Not to mention this, Uncle Li is still young, so it's too early to retire and wander in the forest."

Li Gongde wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Fengnian said with a laughing expression on his face, "I guess, Zhang Julu told the court at least that he would give Uncle Li a title of Minister and a Grand Secretary, otherwise he would be too petty."

Li Gongde smiled and said, "Li Gongde has never opened the secret letter, so he doesn't know the content."

Then the Master of Jinglu put the secret letter in his arms on the table. Xu Fengnian glanced casually and heard Li Gongde laughing loudly for the first time tonight. "If you want Li Gongde to say that, a minister with the same rank as the Master of Jinglu, plus a Grand Secretary of the Palace who cannot make money, will look down on him. No matter how much you have to let Tantan Weng Huanwen give him the position to Li Gongde, of course, if the Master of the Prime Minister is willing to give up the wise, Li Gongde would not mind accepting it with a smile. If this is true, let Li Gongde repent once. Your Highness, don't stop Li Gongde, and you will take office tomorrow."

Xu Fengnian drank a sip of tea and laughed: "If the emperor of the Zhao family has such courage, hey, I really won't stop Uncle Li. The officials trained by our Beiliang became the chief minister of the court. It sounds nice to spread. In the future, countless scholars would have to pour into Beiliang to become officials? Because Beiliang is a blessing land, this prince is happy that they worked hard in Beiliang for twenty or thirty years, and accumulated enough hard work and credit, and then went to let the court accept the elderly politely and enjoy the generous salary of more than ten years. After their death, they were all given a beautiful posthumous posthumous by the emperor. What a great thing. The Xu family in Beiliang gained the profits and the Zhao family in the court were named, and everyone was happy."

Li Gongde smiled knowingly.

Xu Fengnian curled his smile and said, "Uncle Li, you are still at ease to be your strategic envoy, and Hanlin, I promise to help you return to Lingzhou without any damage."

Li Gongde still wanted to speak, Xu Fengnian closed the lid of the cup and placed it on the table, with a look of indifference on his face, saying, "Uncle Li, that's all, wait for Hanlin to come back!"

Li Gongde had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye, and left the study silently.

Xu Fengnian sent him to the entrance of the study room and sat back on the chair and closed his eyes.

Once this secret matter was spread, it was he who planned the overall situation. Xu Weixiong and Wutongyuan were responsible for scrutinizing every detail. Jinlu Weaving Li Xifeng and Beiliang had a business with Beiliang. His descendants were all staying in the capital as hostages. If he wanted to leave Beiliang alive, and the imperial court or the emperor was not suspicious, he must come up with a complete plan that would not leak, which would affect his whole body. Therefore, Xu Hun was a dedicated and responsible Zhao Gou's spy, which was true. Li Xifeng and Zhang Julu were asked to come up with two letters. Li Hanlin was also true.

Is it true to be dispatched to the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty? True and false, complicated, and the interests were intertwined during the period, and their respective actions were enough to be dazzling. Especially in Beiliang, there was no difference in a single step. Liyang could afford to lose, but Beiliang could not afford to lose, and won. The gold weaving changed from a court institution to a private property in Beiliang. A large number of spies lurking in Beiliang and around Beiliang were followed by the clues, and even many Liyang spies who infiltrated the military on the border would be uprooted. In this way, the mud in Beiliang's mud pond could be cleaned up. Xu Fengnian was the general of Lingzhou at the beginning.

The intention is not to be in the military affairs of the Lingzhou state, but to make the officialdom of Beiliang without any worries so that those scholars can take root with peace of mind. If Li Gongde resisted the temptation, then Xu Fengnian had told himself before that he would make Uncle Li enjoy his official duties. If not, it would become the worst situation. Even if the Yan family rebelled first, Xu Fengnian would not have planned to destroy the Li family. He would only make Li Gongde resign on his pretext for his discomfort and return home, and be a rich man in Huangnan County. As the master of the Strategic Envoy said tonight, the officialdom of Beiliang will be reduced by his retreat.

To the best of his throne, he moved as much as possible. Whatever Xu Hun did was Li Xifeng's wishes, and Li Xifeng's guidance to Xu Hun was all Xu Fengnian's secret intention. As for the crossbow leader Li Hanlin, there had been a large number of the most elite eagle soldiers in Beiliang who had followed him in secret, and there were six young masters from the royal palace mixed in. Those Zhao Gou Dead Soldiers who were responsible for the guidance outside the pass were destined to be dead. But Xu Fengnian knew that in this way, the four friends who grew up together and took the blame together, and four brothers were left.

The strategy asked the master to take the confidant entourage slowly out of the general's mansion.

Li Gongde turned his head and looked at the slightly gloomy official residence in the night, and asked with a smile: "What kind of person do you think of the prince?"

The little master hesitated for a moment and said, "Master."

Li Gongde smiled and did not force this cautious master of the world to say to himself: "Although it is not a husband without poison, it is not a hero who has feelings."

The entourage dared not speak too much.

Li Gongde walked to the door of his mansion and was about to step onto the steps. He suddenly retracted his feet and smiled and said, "Let's walk on the clean and clean Xingzi Street."

Li Gongde walked to the empty and lonely street and sighed for no reason: "All sentient beings suffer, it depends on how you feel happy in suffering. Others see you as pitiful, but they don't know that it is suffering. That is the real ability."

"I, like the general, are old. Now no matter what I do, it is for my descendants."

study.

Xu Fengnian reached out and held the teacup.

The white porcelain cup shattered suddenly.

Half a cup of tea splashed all over.

It was scheduled to arrive at the residence of the General of Lingzhou on the third day of the first lunar month, and it only arrived on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Three secret letters were deliberately mentioned in the corridor.

Xu Fengnian gave the Li family a chance again and again.

At this time, only a lonely secret letter was placed on the table.

If you play this game of chess, Beiliang, which has a good location and people, will not lose. It is only a difference between winning more and winning less.

But for him, Xu Fengnian, he lost no matter how much.

It was the lonely man he asked for!
Chapter completed!
