The autumn breeze is blowing and the fallen leaves are colorful. In a blink of an eye, autumn is coming.

There is already a little coolness in early autumn in this capital, especially at night when the autumn wind blows, the coolness becomes even worse.

However, that night, the Duke Cheng's mansion was crowded and very lively because Yang Cong and Lu Bing came to visit again.

Xu Yande, Duke of Ding, actually didn't have many friends at this moment, because he was too young and had a high status. The Dukes and Huns of the Capital were almost old now. He was a young man and really couldn't play with others. Others, like him, had few of his status and status that could be similar to him. He could not downgrade himself to make friends with those servants.

The four words "It is hard to find a soulmate" are the most appropriate to describe him. Therefore, after Yang Cong and Lu Bing, two young men with great prospects, appeared, he quickly became acquainted with the two.

Nowadays, it is really difficult to find friends with his status and status, and it is even more difficult to find friends. Yang Cong and Lu Bing not only have a bright future, but also can help him, especially Yang Cong, who helped him save his share of salt induction as soon as he took action. He naturally had to make friends with such young people.

Originally, it was Yang Cong who submitted a visit to him that he had something to ask for help, but he was very busy and asked someone to prepare a large banquet, and even Lu Bing invited him.

In fact, he had no other intentions. He just felt that Yang Cong and Lu Bing were both of their peers, so they were more enjoyable to drink with them, so they didn’t have to worry about anything.

As the Duke of the State, Yang Cong and Lu Bing naturally would not keep others from a thousand miles away. So the three of them went back and forth and had a lot of fun drinking.

The wine has been almost done, and people are a little floating. Xu Yande said curiously: "Qingfeng, didn't you say you had something to ask me for help? What's the matter? Why don't you keep saying it?"

Yang Cong said a little embarrassedly: "This, I have some private matters and I want to ask Brother Jingzhai for help."

When Xu Yande heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, of course I know it's a private matter. If it's a business, how can I help you? I can't care about your Hanlin Academy. Hahahaha, what's the matter? Tell me, why are you so squeamish?"

He was obviously drunk a little, and he would probably get drunk after drinking for a while. Yang Cong quickly explained: "That's right. I was going to go to Shanxi to pick up my parents to Beijing. I didn't go to visit the imperial tomb with the emperor. It took some time to delay. I thought they should arrive, so I extinguished my thoughts of going to Shanxi. Unexpectedly, my father wrote to me yesterday and seemed to have encountered some trouble there. I was anxious, so I wanted to go to Shanxi to help my father solve the trouble. However, most of the border towns in Shanxi are border towns, and there are many border troops. I was afraid that I could not suppress those **, so I wanted to ask Brother Jingzhai to help me introduce an acquaintance, preferably from Shanxi Dusi or Shanxi Xingdusi. I also relied on it in the past. Brother Jingzhai, do you have any acquaintances there?"

When Xu Yande heard this, he said awkwardly: "This, I am in charge of the Central Army Governor's Office, and the Shanxi Dushi and Shanxi Xingdushi are under the jurisdiction of the Houjun Governor's Office. I really have no acquaintances there."

ah!

Yang Cong couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother Jingzhai really doesn't have a single acquaintance over there?"

It's a little trouble now. He was a Hanlin Academy editor and he might not be able to suppress the Tunwei there. He knew very well that the fertile land in Shanxi was either in the hands of the Tunwei or in the hands of the royal family. He thought that the trouble his father encountered was probably related to the fertile land. If he had no acquaintances there, it would be really difficult to deal with.

Xu Yande thought for a while and suddenly said in surprise: "By the way, Cui Hao, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingshan, is in the Governor's Office, and I'll help you ask, he should have someone he knows there."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong hurriedly bowed and said, "Then thank you brother Jingzhai."

After this matter was settled, Yang Cong finally felt relieved. The three of them drank for a while, until they were a little dizzy and then they ended.

The next day, Xu Yande ordered people to send good news. Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan, had already agreed to help and asked them to go to the dinner together in the evening.

The relationship was good. That night, Yang Cong and Lu Bing followed Ding Guo Duke Xu Yande to the mansion of Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Jingshan Cui Yuan not only asked his son Cui Hao to accompany him, but also invited Marquis of Wuding Guo Ying.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Cui Yuan stood up and raised his glass and said, "Qingfeng, I am really ashamed of the last time when the salt invasion happened. I didn't do much, but I got 20% of the shares in vain. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

Yang Cong quickly stood up and raised his glass and said, "No, no, my nephew didn't work much, uncle is polite."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Cui Yuan accompanied him to drink a drink, then smiled and said, "It just so happens that you are going to Shanxi this time, so let Hao'er accompany you to express our gratitude."

This guy, the governor's office of the Later Army, is a direct superior of the Shanxi Dusi and the Shanxi Xingdusi. With Cui Hao accompanying him, the Tunwei there probably won't dare to do anything.

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Uncle Shi."

Immediately afterwards, Guo Xun stood up and raised his glass and said, "Qingfeng, I have tried some strength last time. I feel really ashamed. There is no way to do this time. Shanxi Dusi and Shanxi Xingdusi are not under my jurisdiction. Please forgive me for being helpless. However, the Beijing Camp is still useful for talking to the Zuojun Governor's Office. If you need help in the future, just speak."

Yang Cong quickly poured a glass of wine, raised it up and said humbly: "Uncle Shi, stop saying that, my nephew really didn't work much."

Everyone is a storied figure in the capital. When they come together by chance, they don’t know what kind of ups and downs will be caused in this court. Yang Cong found that these nobles are actually quite powerful. If they can be used well, they will still be of great help to control the power of the court. During the meal, he naturally accompanied him to do his best to win over it.

With Cui Hao accompanying him, the trip to Shanxi became much more convenient. In the next few days, Yang Cong was preparing to set off in great enthusiasm, but he never thought that when Lu Ling'er heard the news, he insisted on accompanying him.

This guy is a border town in Shanxi, and the Tatars are making trouble now, so he dared not let Lu Ling'er accompany him. However, he persuaded him, but Lu Ling'er insisted on going, which made him have no choice.

Jiajing naturally didn't want Lu Ling'er to take risks, but he couldn't resist this little girl. He had to send out the master Wang Yong, who asked Lu Bing to order a hundred Jinyiwei to accompany him to protect him. Only then did he feel at ease let Lu Ling'er follow Yang Cong.

This is amazing. Yang Cong's guards were already more than a dozen, and together with Cui Hao's personal guards and the 100 Jinyiwei guards, there were almost two hundred people in their ranks.
