"You go ahead and eat first. After you eat, go and meet people. You are worried about the war, right?" Ouyang Yunxiu said.
"What's the hurry? Let them wait!" Xiao Chen said, "The White Dragon Guards are all arrogant and powerful generals. They usually have eyes on the top of their heads and don't look at anyone. Now I want to be the deputy Handsome, I'm afraid they won't be convinced either, so I have to temper their temper."
"By the way, boss, Jiang Tiansheng, the Minister of Rites, is also here." Lin Qi said.
"Aren't you just kidding?" Xiao Chen was startled when he heard this, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when he was coming!"
The two White Dragon Guard generals could make them wait, but when the dignified right-hand minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies arrived, it was Xiao Chen's turn to go out and greet him personally. It would be too rude or even rude to make them wait.
"I said I would come to ask the boss to get up and go out to greet him, but when he heard that the boss hadn't gotten up yet, he wouldn't let me come in to wake him up. He said there was nothing urgent and he was talking in Fat Brother's room right now. Lin Qi said hurriedly.
Xiao Chen hurriedly drank a bowl of milk tea, ate two pieces of meat, and went straight to the fat man's house. When he saw Jiang Tiansheng, he hurriedly apologized, "Lin Qi just told me that your brother Tiansheng came here, and he was not welcome." , but it’s really too much.”
"Hahaha, Mr. Xiao, why are you being polite to your brother? I'm not even polite to you." Jiang Tiansheng returned the courtesy, "If you say that, it would seem that I am presumptuous in coming so early in the morning."
He didn't call him Marquis Xiao Chen, but he looked affectionate and familiar.
"What business does Brother Tiansheng bring here?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Actually, no, I just figured that Mr. Xiao, you might be leaving in the next few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off in time. I'm leaving early today. I'll say goodbye to you first. When you return in triumph, we'll get drunk again. ." Jiang Tiansheng is indeed fine.
"Mr. Jiang is so funny, he asked me if I have any entrustment?" The fat man said with a smile, "Even if I have something to entrust, I don't dare to tell Mr. Jiang. It's like Lu Wenqian, a distant cousin of my sister, also wants to participate in this year's examination. , Is it possible that Mr. Jiang can’t be taken care of by him?”
"That's not possible. However, as a junior student, Lu Wenqian should always pay homage to his future master and ask him to prepare more gifts. If he is lucky enough to win the Jinshi in the future, he should not be taken care of by his birth brother? This is called paying homage to the pier first. Then sail." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Lu Wenqian? It's a good name. When it comes to making a fuss, you should always be humble, but I don't know where Dean Shangguan's sister is from?" Jiang Tiansheng asked casually.
"Jingzhou people." The fat man said.
"Oh, isn't that the hometown of our emperor?" Jiang Tiansheng said, "Sure enough, there are outstanding people."
"Brother Tiansheng, if you have nothing to do, please do as you please. I'm busy here and don't have time to chat with you. Let's have a good meal when I come back." Xiao Chen directly issued an expulsion order to him, which meant that he was very close to him. He meant, "Besides, brother Tiansheng, don't be so angry about book business all the time. You should go to Prince Jiangdong's palace more often."
"Haha, speaking of that prince, he is not as easy to serve as King Xuanping." Jiang Tiansheng smiled, "Yesterday Mr. Liu went to his house to pay homage, but he was met with disgrace. As a result, I didn't dare to get close to him. ...Don't you think this Duan Fengnian is a bastard? If he insists on rebelling, Mr. Xiao will not be able to succeed in academic politics, otherwise as long as you are here..."
"Brother Tiansheng, what's the point of complaining to the emperor? What's the point of telling me?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Please hurry up, I have to meet a few people, and I have to go see King Fengyang..."
"Prince Fengyang is very ill this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to see anyone anymore." Jiang Tiansheng said something. "Then I'll leave first. I'll wait for you to come back to talk about something else. I'll see if the prince and you two are gone." Langya can be pacified in two months, and we can catch up with the trial when we come back."
Xiao Chen and Fatty settled Lu Wenqian's matter in just a few words, and it even made Ouyang Yunxiu feel amazing. Is this all right?
In fact, that's it. You may think that many things are difficult or complicated. In fact, as long as you worship the right temple and worship the right god, it will be very easy to do it. Xiao Chen is this god.
But some people respect him as a god, while others don't respect him very much.
"My subordinate, Zhang Heng, pays homage to the commander-in-chief." Zhang Heng was probably in his early forties, tall and majestic, standing in the room like an iron tower.
"Your Majesty, Ma Tianxi, pays homage to the Commander-in-Chief." Ma Tianxi is in his thirties, short in stature, and extremely stocky. He has a bright red nose and a pair of pea eyes.
"Well, you two generals have worked hard, please sit down." Xiao Chen said, "When did you arrive?"
"Commander, I arrived at midnight last night. There are a total of 12,432 people under my command. They are now camped at the school grounds in the eastern suburbs outside the city and are on standby." Zhang Heng said.
"Commander, I have 1,1300 men under my command. They are currently stationed at the military camp near the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs of the city and are on standby." Ma Tianxi said.
"Yeah." Xiao Chen nodded, thinking that they were indeed the elite White Dragon Guards. They moved really fast. They were ordered to assemble in Haining Bay just yesterday morning, and all of them arrived at midnight. This assembly and marching speed was quite astonishing. I'm afraid the Yan Yun Army That's all.
I thought they would arrive tonight, but unexpectedly, they arrived five or six hours early.
But they entered the city last night and didn't come to report to me. That's not right.
"I was supposed to come to see the Marshal last night, but because it was too late, I was afraid of disturbing the Marshal's rest, so I came early in the morning." Probably sensing Xiao Chen's displeasure, Zhang Heng explained in a subtle way.
"I just went to Prince Xuanping's Mansion, but the prince hasn't gotten up yet, so I had to come to see the commander-in-chief, but unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief hasn't gotten up yet either." There was a hint of thorn in Ma Tianxi's words.
"I had a busy day with the prince yesterday and didn't go to bed until late at night, so I got up late... By the way, how is Prince Fengyang's condition?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"The prince is seriously ill, which is heartbreaking." Zhang Heng said, "I can't get up and can't speak."
"When we went there last night, we vomited half a basin of blood." Ma Tianxi frowned.
"Haha, you went into the city at night. You were afraid of disturbing Prince Xuanping and me, but weren't you afraid of disturbing Prince Fengyang? You knew he was bedridden, but you went to disturb him. You shouldn't!" Xiao Chen said coldly! road.
Zhang Heng and Ma Tianxi looked at each other, speechless, thinking to themselves, damn, he is waiting for us here...
Just say that he is not so kind and would miss our prince!
"King Fengyang is seriously ill, and I am very worried, but now that the country is in crisis, we all have to focus on the war. Since you two arrived last night, you should come to say hello to me, not me. Shuai Tali will affect many military affairs. For example, I thought you just arrived today, so all the logistics supplies were not in place."
"You don't have to worry about this, Commander-in-Chief," Zhang Heng said, "We have our own marching tents and we also bring rations."
"The army is about to go on an expedition. At least we have to let the soldiers live warmer and eat warmer food first. That's all. When I get back, I will order people to buy some wine and meat immediately to reward the big guys. There is no need to prepare for war today. Eat and drink enough. We will tomorrow I set off early in the morning." Xiao Chen said.
