While Xu Yunyan and his junior disciples were making preparations, Rhine VI Baker in Lane City was looking at several of his confidants standing in front of him and talking.
"Are you sure that my brother, who is suddenly valued by my father, led his team out of the city?"
"Yes, young master, we have confirmed that Ryan Shuke actually left the city with his men. Since he is so reckless, let us take advantage of the opportunity to deal with him."
Linebeck couldn't help but rub his chin when he heard his confidant say that his brother was really out.
"Very good, then you should make good arrangements. Didn't he go out with a hundred people? Then we will gather a few hundred more people and deal with them all no matter what."
These confidants hurriedly bowed to Baker and then retreated. Although they are also members of the noble family, they can obtain their own rights and keep their strength in Lane City from changing. This is the only way. Did it.
Otherwise, they would not have any dealings with Leian Shuk at all. After Leian Shuk takes the position of city lord, their power will definitely be restricted by Leian Shuk.
Compared to the rights they are passionate about, what do they have to worry about about the dozen or so people who have been removed from the family? Just sacrifice.
But just when they were thinking about how to gather these people together and catch them all, Xu Yunyan and Ryan stood in the military camp at the same time, looking at Ryan Shuke's soldiers and horses surrounding the prisoners outside the camp, and started talking. .
"Lane Shook."
Xu Yunyan called out, Ryan
He hurriedly came to Xu Yunyan's side.
"Master, don't you know what you have planned?"
"I plan to make these prisoners work. I want them to renovate the camp and cut down some trees. Do you know where the ownerless woods that can be cut down are located nearby?"
Xu Yunyan asked Ryan, who nodded hurriedly.
"I know that there is an unowned forest thirty miles west of here, and many people are cutting down trees in this forest."
"Very good, then we will take them with us. It will allow your people to hone their skills along the way. I will also guide you along the way."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Ryan beamed with joy.
"Okay Master, then I will prepare now."
Xu Yunyan nodded. After Ryan went to discuss these matters with his soldiers, Xu Yunyan turned and walked in the direction of Sun Ning.
When Sun Ning and Sun Xiaoning were mumbling and didn't know what to say, Xu Xu Yunyan came behind him and said to Sun Ning.
"Madam, I have to go out for a trip, and I need to ask my lady to take care of me in the camp."
Sun Ning heard Xu Yunyan's voice and turned to look at Xu Yunyan.
"Husband is going out again? I wonder what Dao Dao is going out for?"
Xu Yunyan told Sun Ning his thoughts, and Sun Ning looked at Xu Yunyan and said.
"That's fine, then I will train our current troops in the camp. The farce of the last battle will not happen again in the future."
Xu Yunyan looked at Sun Ning as if he had worked hard for you, but Sun Ning once again turned around and muttered to Sun Xiaoning beside him, which made Xu Yunyan even more curious about the two of them.
What to say, but Xu Yunyan was not a very curious person. Instead of going forward to listen to what the two people were talking about, he turned around and walked towards where Ryan was outside the camp.
When Xu Yunyan and Lane took Lane's soldiers to escort more than two hundred prisoners, accompanied by dozens of carriages, and headed for the distance, the nobles in Lane City quickly got the news, and for the first time The news was immediately sent to Linebacker, who could ensure their rights remained unchanged and was still favored by them for the time being.
Linebeck couldn't help but look ferocious as he looked at the news about Lineshook's location in his hand.
"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it. There is no door to hell and you just barge in on your own. I originally wanted you to be a dog, but now you are starting to challenge my authority.
There is no other way, I can only make you become a dead dog. "
After Linebeck finished speaking fiercely, he pushed away the girl who was constantly serving him, strode out, and called on his men to rush toward the woods outside the city.
Xu Yunyan had no idea that they were about to encounter something unexpected, so he continued to move towards the selected woods.
When Xu Yunyan was marching towards the woods, in the far eastern city of Chang'an, he finally ushered in a dusty team.
Watching this cavalry wearing the unique armor of the Prince's Guard came to Chang'an City in a hurry at dusk, and when the gate of Chang'an City was about to be closed, they rushed into Chang'an City and everyone couldn't help but point at them. Point and point.
"Where does this general come from? Is there something unexpected happening somewhere again?
? "
A person who had never seen Prince Wei's pretense said this in confusion, while a knowledgeable person next to him said hurriedly.
"Don't talk nonsense. These are the crown prince's guards. His highness must have asked them to practice outside.
They suffered heavy losses when they fought against the Turks. Most of them are new recruits now. "
When those who knew the situation were showing off their abilities, the group of soldiers led by the Crown Prince's Guards ran past them without stopping for long.
Although it is in Chang'an City. However, in some special circumstances, you can still ride war horses, not to mention that they have already reported and taken a route specially used to ride war horses to deliver messages.
But just after this group of people watched the soldiers who were supposedly led by the Crown Prince's Guard pass by, a sensible person spoke up.
"What are you looking at? Where is the prince's guard rate here? This is the Tiance Guard. Didn't you see that they are holding a flag and it is the leader of the Tiance Guard 1st Regiment?"
"Oh? Commander of the First Tiance Guard Regiment, this is the number one general under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
It's just that when they were discussing like this, they didn't notice that there happened to be a man wearing fine clothes and eating at a roadside stall with a dozen guards and his face was very ugly.
And who is that guy if he's not Li Zhong?
Although Li Zhong's expression was ugly, the few beside him looked absolutely happy as they looked at Li Zhong and spoke.
"General, these people don't take you seriously, right? You are now the champion, nominally in charge of the Prince's Guard and the Tiance Guard. Now a regiment commander has come and just ran past us.
Go and turn a blind eye. Should we step forward and teach them a lesson? "
These confidants are the confidants of Li Zhongzheng'er Bajing. They only listen to Li Zhong and not others.
However, Li Zhong shook his head after they spoke.
"I am just a commander in name only. It is just because the people of Tiance Guard under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only obey their commander, and their commander has not come back. I am temporarily helping them. Now that their commander is back, even if I am nominally in charge of Tiance Guard, and the people of Tiance Guard will no longer listen to me. His Royal Highness will no longer favor me. Everything is decided by the head of Tiance Guard."
Li Zhong reluctantly told a fact, but these younger brothers looked at Li Zhong with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"How about your lord, let's get rid of him, so that Tiance Guard will not have a leader."
This frightened Li Zhong.
"What time is it now? How could you do such a thing? Do you want to trap me into injustice?"
Although Li Zhong is very pleased with these people who think about him, he has not yet done many things properly. His Majesty and the Crown Prince are in their prime. If he suddenly gets into trouble, wouldn't he be making himself uncomfortable? I am still young and there are still opportunities.
Although Li Zhong spoke out to refute his confidants, these confidants were still a little reluctant to look at Li Zhong.
"But General, you are a champion monkey. What is the identity of this person in front of you? He is just a viscount, what should you care about?"
Although Li Zhong's confidants said this, Li Zhong looked at them and spoke seriously.
"Although he is a viscount, he doesn't have many backers.
, and the worst people under him will inherit the title of marquis.
Although I am a champion marquis, I am not as good as a champion marquis, who enjoys the treatment of a prince as a marquis. Although I, the champion marquis, are said to be a marquis, now even a marquis does not feel that he enjoys the treatment. . "
Li Zhong explored his hand helplessly. Talking about his title.
There was nothing that could be done about it. In order to stop everyone from talking, Li Shimin rewarded Li Zhong, Xu Yunyan's closest brother with great military achievements and Li Chengqian's absolute confidant, the Champion, but in order to prevent others from saying anything, he originally The champion marquis who can enjoy the treatment of a prince is now only slightly elevated above Li Zhong's original title of viscount and enjoys the treatment of an earl. He will not reach the level of marquis until he has more military exploits. Now he is just an ordinary marquis.
Although Li Zhong was very angry at Li Shimin's behavior, his ambition did not allow him to do anything that was openly against Li Tang, so he comforted his confidants and told them not to complain casually in the future. , If you have something to do, you can only talk to yourself and don’t leave anything in the hands of others.
But just when Li Zhong gave this instruction, several guards in uniforms quickly came from the street and spoke directly after they saw Li Zhong.
"Marquis Champion, His Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you for an emergency and asked you to go to the East Palace immediately."
At this time, Li Zhong hadn't finished eating the food in his hands, so he had to put down his hands and give them to his confidants.
"Brothers, you eat first. I'm going to meet His Highness the Crown Prince now. I haven't finished this bowl yet. If you don't mind it,
, just share the food first, don’t waste it. "
After Li Zhong said this, he rushed towards the East Palace without hesitation. After Li Zhong left, the confidants next to him felt even more unbearable.
"Look, this is our lord, he is so kind to us, but in front of the prince, he is just a dog, he has not even finished his meal, he has to go as he says.
We must earn enough face for you in the future, but we can no longer let you come and go at will. "
Li Zhong and his confidants showed their sincerity, which Li Zhong didn't know. Even if he knew, he would only smile and follow the tricks Xu Yunyan learned to win people's hearts. It is really impeccable.
But just when Li Zhong turned the corner and looked towards the East Palace, the team in front was also marching towards the East Palace. It seemed that because Xue Li was back, Li Chengqian was going to make new arrangements, right?
Li Zhong said this, looked around where no one was paying attention to him, bought some food from the roadside again, and ate while heading towards the East Palace.
No matter what, don't let yourself go hungry, this is the most basic thing.
