"No gift."
Zhong Yan waved his hand and walked out, "Shang Wu, how is your wife?"
Li Shangwu followed, "Xie Yifu is worried about me and is a little weak. I have seen many doctors and they all said that it is due to a cold palace and it is difficult to conceive an heir."
"Then marry another one."
"Yes, mother is looking for a girl. She has looked at several girls in the city who are waiting to be married, but she hasn't decided yet."
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, "Let's not look for someone in the city first. Doesn't the Li Mansion have several child brides? Pick one."
"Okay, listen to your adoptive father."
Walk out of the two courtyards.
Li Shangwu was hesitant to speak.
"bring it on."
Zhong Yan led him into the study room and heard Yu Qingyao say that the adopted son was running to the back garden these days, obviously something was wrong.
Li Shangwu poured a cup of tea and served it, then lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
"Father! I have something to ask of you!"
Zhong Yan glanced at him, "Because of your mother?"
Li Shangwu shuddered, bowed down and said hastily: "My foster father is a warning! My mother loves my foster father before she does something inappropriate. The child knows that my father is like many monks who are indifferent to women, but my foster father is different. Mother followed you, which was the best destination for her at that time.
If the adoptive father does not dislike it, please tell the mother so that she can have a clear idea. If the adoptive father feels that it is inappropriate, the child will persuade the mother to marry someone else and stop her thinking, so as not to make a big mistake! "
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and looked up towards the door.
Next to the door of the study, Li Yang rushed over after learning the news. He was holding a handkerchief and pressing his pounding chest to listen, nervous.
After a while, no movement was heard.
Li Yang's heart tightened, she gritted her teeth and stepped in, blushing and saying, "You kid, what are you talking about!"
"Uncle! Wuer, he..."
Zhong Yan waved his hand and said directly: "When we get to Cangbao Street, you can move in together."
Li Yang was startled, her eyes turned red for a moment, she knelt on the ground and wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, uncle, for showing me mercy! Liu'er looks like a willow. She has nothing to ask for, no status, she just hopes to follow her uncle and share his worries... …”
Li Shangwu looked happy and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, my adoptive father!"
"Everyone, get up."
Zhong Yan stood up and said: "When you were present at the family meeting, I have treated you as one of my own. You must remember to work together for the Zhong family.
Shang Wu, you are the lintel of the Li family. As long as the Zhong family exists, the Li family will continue to exist. You will be married to your family now, and the children of the Zhong and Li families will be married in the future. "
Li Shangwu was overjoyed: "Yes! Foster father! The child is destined to go through fire and water for the Zhong clan!"
Li Yang wiped the corners of his eyes and said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, Liu'er will swear allegiance to the Zhong Clan to the death!"
Zhong Yan waved his hand, "Shang Wu, please go back first and train hard to improve your martial arts realm."
"Yes, adoptive father, the child must resign!"
Zhong Yan looked at Yang Liu'er, "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Liu'er adjusted his mood and said: "Uncle Qi, there is news from the Death Guard that the disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect who have been tracing Tianlinggen in the city left the day before yesterday! They have been summoned and questioned in Wangcheng City and Huangniu Town. He's gone, he seems to be gone."
Zhong Yan was stunned, "Aren't you looking for it?"
"Probably, it's been a long time after all."
"Go ahead."
"Yes..." Li Yang glanced at it, leaned back and left.
Zhong Yan frowned and thought.
The Tianling Root is so important, how could you not look for it when it appears in the Yan Kingdom?
It doesn't require many manpower, just arrange a few disciples to investigate and keep an eye on it, and ask the city lord's mansion to cooperate.
"Isn't it found?"
Zhong Yan's heart tightened, he took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a letter, saying, "Call Xiaozhong!"
"Yes, Master!" The maid outside immediately ran away.
If he was really found by the Fire Cloud Sect, after some questioning, Linggen would tell the whole story that day, but something would be wrong!
Not long after.
Zhong Xiaozhong came in with Li Shangwen.
"Xiao Zhong, send this letter."
"Yes, sir."
Zhong Xiaozhong put the letter into his arms and handed Zhong Yan a stack of paper.
"Sir, from November last year to now, the city lord's palace has sent letters to the capital as many as sixteen times. In addition, it has also sent letters to seven cities including 'Baiyan, Yinfeng, Quzuo, Changyi'..."
Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it because of applying for a big city?"
Zhong Xiaozhong shook his head: "I have learned that there will be a two-year examination period after the application for the big city is submitted. If it were not for the frequent letters about this matter, and the frequent military exercises at the northern suburbs school grounds, it must be Qin Ben who made a big move, but he Its target is currently unknown.”
Zhong Yan lowered his head and looked through the information.
After waiting for a while, Li Shangwen said: "Uncle, could it be for the Wei battlefield?"
Zhong Xiaozhong: "But the 50,000 vanguard troops have been transferred back. Without orders from the capital, Qin Ben would not dare to send troops, right?"
Zhong Yan raised his head: "How many are there in total, including the Qingyang City defenders, the city lord's palace troops, and the main army on the campus?"
Zhong Xiaozhong: "At least 150,000, with 80,000 as the main force. The rest were recruited in recent years, and most of them are refugees."
Zhong Yan knocked on the table and pondered for a moment, "It can only be the battlefield of Wei, Shangwen, what do you think?"
"If according to what my uncle said, Qin Ben has imperial ambitions, this war with Wei will be a good opportunity for him!"
As Li Shangwen spoke, he walked to the wall and pointed at the map: "After the demise of the Wei State, the Yan State is most likely to be allocated to the eastern part of the Wei State. Starting from Bayi City, the vast territory covers nearly forty cities...
If Qin Ben can serve as the commander-in-chief of one side and lead the troops during the decisive battle, he will definitely be able to win the right to stay behind and govern.
By then, one big city plus three small cities will be indispensable. If it were me, I would choose Ruyang City. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I can come and go as I please.
After accumulating enough strength and engaging in some intrigues, if there is a civil war in Yan State, Qin Ben can radiate from the southeast of Wei State to the northwest of Yan State, just in time to join forces with the cities of Baiyan, Yinfeng, and Quzuo to form an encirclement, and he can occupy it in an instant Half of the country of Yan! If you plan to conquer the whole territory again, it will be unstoppable! "
Zhong Yan nodded secretly, stared at the locations of the cities of 'Baiyan, Yinfeng, and Quzuo', and muttered: "I'm afraid this guy has been planning for a long time..."
"Xiao Zhong, check the information of the city lords of these cities."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhong Yan looked at Li Shangwen: "Have you ever learned the art of war?"
Li Shangwen scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I have only briefly read the war chapter in "On National Policy" and have not studied any specific works on the art of war."
"Take the time to study hard."
"Yes, uncle."
Zhong Yan blinked and asked again: "By the way, how old is Qin Ben?"
Zhong Xiaozhong: "Thirty-nine."
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Thirty-nine, then he has to hurry up, otherwise he will be old by then and he won't be able to sit on the throne for a few years."
Li Shangwen smiled and said, "Then it has nothing to do with us."
Zhong Yan glanced over, his eyes shining brightly, "Why doesn't it matter? If he really comes to this point, the northwest of Yan Kingdom will be ours from now on!"
Including Huoyun Sect!
Zhong Yan added in his mind.
Ambitious and ambitious.
Li Shangwen was stunned, his heart was shocked, it was unimaginable, and he said excitedly: "Uncle, what if Qin Ben can't do it?"
"Then help him!"
…
Yang Liuer went to Liu Ziying's residence, and it happened that the second room of Li Mansion was also there.
"Sister Jinxi is here. I asked the maid to go back to the house to call you."
"Sister."
Qiu Jinxi stood up and saluted, "I'm here to have a chat with sister Ziying. Does sister want to see me for anything?"
"Just right!"
Yang Liuer pulled the two of them to sit down and said happily: "Uncle nodded and asked me to move to Baibai Street. Sister Ziying will naturally follow. Jinxi, I will find another opportunity to mention it to uncle, and you will move there together..."
"Congratulations, eldest sister, it's okay with me. I'm used to living in the Li Mansion."
"That's not possible. By then you won't even have anyone to talk to. You will have to run back and forth, and Naofumi will be staying at your uncle's house."
Saying that, Yang Liu'er patted their hands and said, "Don't worry, since uncle nodded, we are his women, and we don't have to work so hard in the future. When uncle comes to find me, I will give him a blowjob." Blowing wind, I will find you as soon as possible..."
"Don't be in a hurry." Qiu Jinxi smiled with a calm look on his face.
Yang Liu'er knew that she was weak-tempered and would not fight for anything, but when she looked at Liu Ziying, she couldn't help but blink and wonder, "Third sister, is there something on your mind?"
Liu Ziying's eyes were a little dodgey, "No! I will listen to my sister's arrangements."
Yang Liu'er stared at her for a while and sighed: "Hey~ It seems that the third sister can't trust the eldest sister!"
The result was a few words and a few glances.
Liu Ziying, under Yang Liuer's 'silver power', blushed and told the story of the in-depth exchange between Fuyang Town and Zhong Yan.
"..." Qiu Jinxi was slightly stunned.
"..." The corner of Yang Liu'er's mouth twitched, I think about you all the time, it would be better for you to sneak in front of me!
She felt a little sour, and couldn't help but glance at the gifted curve, secretly thinking that this is capital, and smiled: "This is a good thing!"
Then, she asked for some more details, and asked with a smile: "Third sister, how do you feel after so many years?"
Liu Ziying glanced at the door, smiled and said softly: "Uncle is very tough, making people feel like they are in heaven..."
The three of them laughed softly.
Li Yang left, feeling strange and suddenly feeling a little anxious.
"Anyway, uncle agreed."
"You have to find an opportunity to take the initiative!"
…
