"Master Xiaohou, our friendship is quite good. I want to ask you something today, Lin Dongyang..." Lu Jing lowered his voice, "What will be the ending in the future?"
"You shouldn't ask me this, go ask the emperor!" Xiao Chen said.
"That boy Lin Qi is your younger brother Ang, and you have such a good relationship with Lin Dongyang. If I don't ask you, who should I ask?" Lu Jing said.
"If I tell you, can you keep this secret?" Xiao Chen whispered.
"Yes, it must be possible!" Lu Jing said hurriedly. "I can do it too." Xiao Chen smiled.
"Xiao Wucheng! You are making fun of me!" Lu Jing's nose was so angry that he stood up angrily and shouted with a red face, "From now on, our relationship will be considered broken, and we will never see each other until we die!"
"Urgent, urgent!" Xiao Chen hurriedly pulled him to sit down, "I'm just kidding you, how can you still take it seriously? Besides, can you blame me? The question you asked is very sensitive, and so is Lin Dongyang. He is considered an imperial convict. Do I dare to lie to you about his future? Later, you go to the emperor to participate in the performance and I try to figure out the holy will. Can you bear it? "
"Farewell!" Lu Jing stood up again.
"Okay, okay, everyone will tell you!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "But you really can't tell others, otherwise you don't have to break off our relationship with me, I will break off our relationship with you first!"
"Hmph, you still don't mean to say it. If you had known about this earlier, you should have told me in advance. Why do I need to ask you? After all, what is going on?" Lu Jing also took a handful .
"I'm thinking about it... I'm thinking about it personally, but I don't have any basis for it, and I won't admit it outside of this door... I'm thinking that the emperor may intend to let Lin Dongyang go to Langya County to be the governor." Xiao Chen said .
"If you didn't say it earlier, it would be over? Why bother!" Lu Jing said, "Actually, I think so too, but I'm just not sure, so I asked you."
"Master Lu, you are so rich! You even said that I was teasing you, but you were the one who was teasing me!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"How dare I, my subordinate, play tricks on the Marquis?" Lu Jing was amused, "Isn't this what I said from the bottom of my heart?"
"Anyway, it's okay if you know it. This is what our brothers said behind closed doors, but don't go out and spread it randomly." Xiao Chen said.
"This must be spread out. How can everyone know if it is not spread out?" Lu Jing said, "I will go to King Xuanping later, so I'll pass it on to him first."
"You, you, you..." Xiao Chen was furious.
"The reason why you Mr. Xiao told me this is because you want to talk about it through my mouth?" Lu Jing said with a smile, "They are all goblins practicing in the mountains. Don't play magic with anyone." ."
"Wow!" Xiao Chen expressed his special shock, "I didn't expect you, Mr. Lu Jing, to actually become a spirit!"
"I'm just an immortal at best, but you, Mr. Xiaohou, have become an immortal." Lu Jing said, "By the way, I have something else to tell you. Yandang King Li Yan said that he wants my Ministry of War to prepare twenty Do you, Lord Marquis, know about the 10,000-person armament?"
"Where do I know this?" Xiao Chen frowned, "He wants 200,000 people? This is such a huge asking price. How much did you pay him back on the spot?"
"He is a prince, and the emperor has clearly decreed that he be in charge of Langya's military affairs. There are still some areas in Langya County that have not yet been pacified, but he still said that this is the minimum requirement... Do I still dare to bargain with him?" Lu Jing said .
"Then we can't just let him do whatever he wants. I think Prince Yandang is a bit inflated!" Xiao Chen said in such a loud tone.
"Prince Yandang is young and has been frustrated for a long time. It is inevitable to suddenly feel proud and a little arrogant." Lu Jing said, "We can't talk to him. You are on good terms with him, so go and persuade him."
"Yeah? It turns out that you, Mr. Lu, have condescended to live in such a humble manner, but you are actually here to give me orders." Xiao Chen said.
"Master Xiaohou, what are you talking about?" Lu Jing said with a smile, "It's not because our friendship is here to show off. If it were someone else, would I dare to say one more thing about what's on my mind? I can't say anything to them!"
"Haha, I'm afraid that Mr. Lu actually has something on his mind, but he won't tell me anything." Xiao Chen smiled meaningfully.
"Well, that's true." Lu Jing nodded, "You can't say those words to anyone, they will only rot in your heart and grow maggots."
"All the worries that deserve to die will die, but the thoughts that deserve to live must also be nourished. They cannot be a mess without blooming." Xiao Chen said, "Prince Xuanping treats people like the spring breeze, and his heart is like the rain and dew..."
"I'm busy with business, so I won't accompany you. Lord Marquis will stay, and I'll take my leave!" Lu Jing didn't seem to hear him. If he did, he pretended not to hear, and said goodbye directly and walked away.
"Silly!" Xiao Chen sent him out and muttered at Lu Jing's back.
"Boss, who are you talking about?" Xiao Yu asked from the side.
"Yandang King Li Yan, prepare your horses, let's go and look at him!" Xiao Chen said.
The relationship between Li Yan and Xiao Chen is also very subtle. They are considered middle-of-the-road above Li Shi and Li Feng and below Li Wanyun and Li Qiu.
In fact, he also wanted to be a centrist. When he left Langya, he wanted to cultivate some forces that truly belonged to him, gain a firm foothold in the court, be independent, and never follow Li Feng's nonsense again.
As long as he has the strength, no matter who becomes the prince or the emperor in the future, he will have to rely on himself, so he has already made up his mind.
I was very happy to see Xiao Chenlai. They put their arms around each other, greeted each other with greetings, and were as affectionate as brothers. They were also very proud of themselves.
Xu Zhisheng was his confidant. This battle at Wolong Pass gave him a big face. He and Xie Changan swept through the northern part of Langya County and made a lot of contributions.
The emperor praised him very much, comforted him deeply, and called my nephew affectionately. His attitude towards him was also very different from before.
"Xiao Chen, we are all our own. I, my king, will not talk to you either. I am going to Langya to build an army of 200,000 people. The Ministry of War does not have that many armaments now. You Yan Yun You have to give me some support anyway, and if you don’t talk about anything else, it’s okay to buy me a hundred armored ballistas, right?” Li Yan said.
"No problem, I'll ask Lin Yue to deliver it to you when I get back. Then, Your Majesty, just send someone to Yanyunguan to receive it." Xiao Chen agreed happily.
"Hahaha, I knew you were funny!" Li Yan was overjoyed and slapped Xiao Chen on the shoulder so hard that he almost vomited blood.
"Your Majesty, do you know how many troops and horses were used by Prince Xuanping and me to put down the Langya Rebellion?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"I know, you Yan Yun's 50,000 elites, Zhang Henglin Feixiong's 20,000, and Huo Qishan's 10,000 Black Dragon Guards are all useless... Huh? What do you mean by asking me this?" Li Yan suddenly became alarmed.
"We actually only have about 60,000 people. When we arrived at Baisha City, there were only more than 50,000 people. They were just called one hundred thousand. Duan Fengnian claimed that there were 800,000 troops, but in fact there were more than 500,000, ten times as many as me, but in the end it was We were also defeated." Xiao Chen said.
