The Long Tingwei, Prince Ru, the death of the late emperor, and the inexplicable disappearance of the Long Yuling were all the things that Emperor An was most afraid of.
He and Guo Linyi followed Xiao Yan's instructions and led the Longting Guards away that day. Afterwards, although it appeared that Shang Qin knew about the old case in Nandi and had the ambition to lead troops back to the capital without authorization, the loopholes in this statement were obvious to everyone. You can see it.
Even if Emperor An didn't suspect that Long Yuling was in Xiao Yan's hands, he would still suspect that Long Tingwei and Xiao Yan had colluded.
Fu Yue said in a deep voice: "Shang Qin's matter cannot be kept secret for too long. Before he led the troops to the capital, he told his close associates to stay in Linping. The Shang family in the northwest still controls more than half of the Longting Guards. If Lao Guo and I stay here, In the capital, if there is no news from Shang Qin for a long time, there will definitely be trouble."
"Moreover, frictions over the border are becoming more and more frequent. In the past month, Beiling has frequently sent troops to cause nuisance. Although there has been no major war and they have retreated at the first sign of war, I am worried that they may not wait until spring before taking action. If they take a wrong approach, Take the army south before the frost comes, General Di and Luoyan Pass will probably be unable to support us."
Fu Yue was worried that the war in the northwest would break out and the Longting Guards would be in trouble again. How could they stop the Beiling cavalry then?
"The chaos in the capital has been settled. He Jiazhaoxue, you have also been granted the title of Duke. Lao Guo and I have already settled the things we promised you. It's time for Lao Guo and I to go back. I just hope that the Duke of Guo can remember you. Don’t break your promises to us.”
Xiao Yan looked serious when he heard this: "General Fu, don't worry, when Beiling goes south, the DPRK will never avoid fighting."
"The first batch of horses and weapons promised before will be sent to Luoyan Pass within half a month, and the second batch will be raised as soon as possible. I will order my subordinate Hang Li to take fifty cronies to escort 50,000 gold to the northwest to strengthen Luoyan Pass and We will guard the city's borders and send another person with one hundred thousand gold to go south to raise food."
"I will prepare all the supplies and food. No matter when the war starts, I will never lose the northern soldiers. But Hang Li and the others have never been to the northwest and are not familiar with the border. When they go there, they may have to ambush General and Mr. Guo." The general will take care of him and use the Longting Guard to let him act."
Fu Yue's expression paused slightly, he raised his head and met Xiao Yan's stern black eyes, fully aware of the hidden meaning in his words.
Xiao Yan has been to the northwest, and there is Di Shuangcheng who is closer to him on the border. If he just wants someone to take care of him, he can directly send his confidants to Fengcheng, but now he said that he would use Long Tingwei to act, but Just because he was afraid that the Longting Guard would produce a second Shang Qin, Xiao Yan wanted to let someone be "supervised" by the Longting Guard.
Fu Yue raised his eyes and said seriously: "The Lord cares about the soldiers on the border. I will naturally take care of the people under your command. After arriving in the northwest, we will let them stay in Linping and act with Long Tingwei. There is just one thing I have to follow in advance. The Duke of Guo made it clear."
"If your man is capable, Long Tingwei will naturally have a place for him, but if he doesn't understand anything, Lao Guo and I will never let him interfere in the war!"
Xiao Yan heard this and said, "This is natural. On the battlefield, one relies on his ability. If he is incompetent, he has no right to stay in Linping."
Fu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid at all when Xiao Yan installed his own people in Longting Guard. As long as Xiao Yan did what he promised, he and Guo Linyi would guard Longting Guard and Northwest. He was afraid of nothing. Those who know how to seize power and act blindly will lead the wolves to drive away the tigers. Although Shang Qin is eliminated, they will bring about the destruction of Long Tingwei.
Now that Xiao Yan agreed, he felt relieved.
Ditao waited for the two of them to finish talking, and then said with some envy: "Uncle Fu, when are you leaving?"
Fu Yue looked much closer to Di Tao: "For these few days, to prevent Emperor An from having other thoughts, you have been in the capital for some time, but do you want to go back to the northwest with us?"
Di Tao wanted to go back. No matter how prosperous and wealthy the capital was, it couldn't compare to the wind and sand in the northwest, but...
He grinned and said, "I won't go back now. It's fun in Beijing. Besides, my father always thought that I was uneducated and said that I would only act recklessly on the battlefield. Brother Xiao promised to let me go to Rongsheng Academy to learn more." , and also asked Dean Shi to teach me."
"I'll stay in the capital first, and then I'll go back and kill everyone after I finish my studies!"
Fu Yue saw his youthful spirit and full of vitality. He couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll wait for you to lead troops on the battlefield after you return to the northwest and shock the world."
When the atmosphere relaxed, Fu Yue looked relaxed:
"We still need to assemble the army for two days before we can set off. If you have anything to bring to General Di, please bring it with me and I will carry it back for you. However, the army is moving quickly and the cavalry is on the way, so you must not bring too much luggage, lest it Delayed on the road.”
Ditao said: "I know, don't worry, Uncle Fu, I will send it to you when I go back and sort it out."
The sky in September became cooler towards the end. After all the boxes in the yard were carried away, the fallen leaves were swirling and blown down by the wind, falling golden all over the ground.
While the tea stove was boiling in the house, several people were chatting and drinking tea.
Fu Yue sat for a while, left a gift to congratulate Xiao Yan and Tang Ning, and then said goodbye and left. After he left, Di Tao also found an excuse and ran away.
Gu Helian found two sweet potatoes somewhere and roasted them on the stove. Cao Dejiang drank tea and asked, "How did you convince that guy Shi Yulin to agree to teach this kid from the Di family?"
Xiao Yan: "I'm not convinced."
Cao Dejiang raised his eyebrows.
Gu Helian also looked sideways.
Xiao Yan said: "Ditao admired Mr. Shi's talent and visited him every night, but was turned away and refused to retreat. He quoted scriptures to express his devotion to learning. Mr. Shi was moved by his sincerity and promised to teach him some."
Cao Dejiang: "...Speak in human terms!"
Xiao Yan: "Ditao only knows the Three Character Classic."
"puff--"
Cao Dejiang spurted out a mouthful of tea, splashing Gu Helian's face.
Gu Helian threw away the gold-encrusted iron pliers in her hand, holding up her sleeves and wiping her face with excitement: "Old man Cao, what are you doing? Are you dirty?"
The gem string in front of his clothes was hung with loose tea foam. The more Gu Helian wiped his face, the darker he became. Seeing that his sleeves were wet, he walked out angrily, shouting as he walked:
"Mu Feng, Mu Feng, come here with my clothes!"
Gu Helian cursed and walked away. After Cao Dejiang put down his tea cup, he covered his mouth in embarrassment and coughed while glaring at Xiao Yan.
"You deliberately?!"
How could a person who could only memorize the Three-Character Sutra quote from the sutras to demonstrate his devotion to learning? I'm afraid it wasn't this boy from the Di family who climbed up the wall every night to harass Shi Chang'an. He was scolded and rejected and refused to give up. He talked shamelessly and nonsense and forced Shi Chang'an to agree to teach...
"You just teach people to behave randomly, be careful Shi Yulin falls out with you!"
Xiao Yan was innocent: "I didn't do anything."
"Editor!" Cao Dejiang said angrily: "There is no one else but you who has such a bad idea."
Xiao Yan took it all as a compliment.
