In the early morning, Xu Mu had no intention of staying, and planned to follow the direction of Liangzhou and rush back to Lizhou. No matter what, he was still worried about the war on the front line.
The significance of the Lizhou front line is roughly equivalent to that of Xiangjiang in the past.
"My lord, I happen to be going to Lizhou to visit friends, why don't I come with my lord." When they were saying goodbye, Chen Fang came over.
In Xishu, Chen Fang, an old Confucian, only held a casual position for the time being and was mainly responsible for the construction of the academy. But at present, the academies in Chengdu are still under restoration. Thanks to this, Chen Fang can often visit friends.
Of course, for Western Shu, it is undoubtedly a great thing for an old Confucian to enter Shu. It is impossible to say that more political talents will be brought out in the future.
"My old friend is in the Dayuan Pass area. King Shu, please don't forget that I, Chen Fang, was originally from Lizhou."
"Indeed." Xu Mu nodded.
In his impression, there were two people from Lizhou in Western Shu, one was Chen Fang and the other was Yin Hu.
Lizhou was named after the emperor encountered colorful carp on the river bank when he was on patrol.
"Mr. Chen, then you and I will go together."
"Very good." Chen Fang bowed his hands with a smile on his face.
Xu Mu turned around and gave Chen Sheng instructions. Deep down in his heart, he slowly fell into deep thought. After arriving in Lizhou, he still followed his original idea and sent an envoy to Chongqing to report the affairs of the foreign tribes.
…
To the east of Liangdi is the inner city.
At this time, in the Changyang Palace, the two figures who entered the palace were walking forward steadily.
"Ziyou, will anything happen if you leave Lizhou like this?" one of them asked.
"No, there is General Shentu over there in Lizhou. You and I will only be back in two or three days before we can make it in time. Besides, no matter what, I plan to introduce you, Liu Pingde, to the lord personally." Chang Sheng smiled.
During these many days, he and Liu Chen were in the Lizhou area, constantly checking the terrain and discussing countermeasures, and then slowly came up with a strategic layout.
"When I entered the city, I heard that my lord was assassinated."
"Indeed, locking the city in Changyang has not happened for a long time." Chang Sheng frowned. When he mentioned this, there was anger in his tone.
"Ziyou..." Liu Chen just started to speak, but suddenly paused.
Even if Liu Chen didn't say anything, he was as smart as Chang Sheng and figured out what he was going to say next. It is nothing more than a guess. It is speculated that the assassination of my brother was most likely the method of the old family.
Of course, this matter is not trivial. If there is no evidence, it is best not to act rashly.
"It's okay, don't think too much." Chang Sheng raised his head and comforted with a smile, "You must know that the Chang family is still in charge of this huge Beiyu."
"Of course I understand. But Zi Youxu remembers that it's time for me, Beiyu, to win a victory and appease the hearts of the family."
"Just as I thought."
Perhaps a little impatient, Chang Sheng grabbed Liu Chen's robe, and the two of them walked hurriedly past the newly repaired nine dragon pillars, walked along the long royal road, and arrived in front of the Jinluan Palace.
Although he has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, now, with the destruction of the Yuan royal family, the huge Changyang Palace has completely become the place where the King of Northern Chongqing, Chang Xiaotang, sits.
"Always victorious, see my lord."
"Liu Chen, Qingshi Lane, pays homage to the lord."
The two of them straightened their robes, and at about the same time, they both bowed and bowed.
Just waiting for the door to open, someone walked out.
The figure was not a valet, but a strong figure carrying a spear.
"Little Chang Wei?" Chang Sheng was startled.
Thinking about it, in this huge palace, the only one who dares to run around with a gun on his back is General Huwei.
"Hey, my little Mr. Sheng!" Chang Wei hurried over when he saw the person coming.
"What's wrong?"
"What else can I do? The young master was assassinated and I got angry. Except for the shit, I stayed close to guard him."
"Very good..." Chang Sheng smiled. He probably knew Chang Wei's temper and didn't bother to persuade him.
"Chang Wei, how is my lord?"
"I seem to be thinking about something in the past two days, and it's always a bit boring. I said that there are several beautiful girls coming to Changyang West City, but he doesn't care about it -"
"Ahem, Chang Wei, don't talk nonsense." Chang Sheng stopped hurriedly and pointed to Liu Chen next to him, "This is Liu Chen of the Liu family in Qingshi Lane. He has a good reputation. He will enter the palace with me this time."
"I think I've heard of him before." Chang Wei scratched his head and looked at Liu Chen again. When he realized that he was just a weak scholar, he hesitated and got out of the way.
"Chang Wei, has the assassin been caught?"
"Not yet? My Huwei Camp is about to overthrow the entire Changyang. That thief is hiding so tightly."
Chang Sheng nodded and said no more. After some comfort, he took Liu Chen and continued walking to the palace.
The Chang family lineage, from rice merchants to separatist tyrants, almost used the strength of the entire clan. No one expected that Chang Xiaotang, the heir of a partial house whose parents died young, would actually achieve great things in dominating the world.
"Pingde, go in." After recovering his thoughts, Chang Sheng turned around and spoke.
Liu Chen nodded and without any hesitation, stepped into the Golden Palace.
In his dream, he also had this kind of scene. One day, he won the first prize and went to the palace to face the saint. Of course, when the Daji Dynasty gradually collapsed, he no longer had the intention to become a scholar, and he was too lazy to even take the college entrance examination, and kept studying hard.
It wasn't until Chang Sheng stood in front of him and told him that we would end the troubled times together and fulfill the last wish of Lord Yuan that he was moved.
"Liu Chen, Liu Pingde pays homage to the lord!"
There was no pretense at all. As soon as Liu Chen entered the palace, he knelt down and worshiped. His life will begin from this Jinluan Palace, and a magnificent journey to bring peace to the world will begin.
Instead of sitting on the dragon chair, Tsuneshiro stood alone. At first glance, he no longer had the laughter of the past. He turned around and looked at the person in front of him, with no trace of sadness or joy on his face.
"Brother, this is Liu Chen of Qingshi Lane whom I told you in my letter. He is quite talented. He is with me in Lizhou to make plans together."
Chang Shiro nodded calmly, "Liu Chen, you go back first, I will tell you tomorrow."
Chang Sheng's face paused, and he vaguely understood that his brother had something to discuss with him and wanted to send Liu Chen away. For a moment, Chang Sheng thought for a moment and added.
"Brother, Liu Chen is the person left behind by Lord Yuan. At first, Lord Yuan valued his talent and learning and often helped him."
Hearing this, Chang Shiro quickly raised his head and looked at Liu Chen again.
He is not complicated, after all, he is a simple man. If it were said that right now, one of the things he wanted to do most was to help his old friend fulfill his regret.
"Liu Chen, get up and come and take a seat. Since you have been recommended by many victors and have been valued by Lord Yuan, there should be no problem for you."
Liu Chen exhaled, stood up and bowed.
"Brother, most of what I said in my previous letter were Pingde's strategies. Others dare not say it, but Liu Pingde and I are classmates and friends, so I naturally know what he is capable of." Chang Sheng spoke next to him.
Liu Chen still bowed his head.
Changshiro turned his head, probably because he wanted to see through the huge palace complex in the direction of Zhongyi Temple. After a long time, he came back to his senses and made a loud noise.
"Liu Pingde, from now on, you will be one of my staff members in Beiyu! I will promote you to Changyang Youcheng Ling, military aircraft staff in the tent."
"Thank you, my lord."
