"It's the sound of horse hooves - it seems like a large group of cavalry coming to the governor's mansion -" a young general in the governor's mansion couldn't help but feel dull and stood up and shouted, and the silence in the hall was broken.

"What?

How could it be a cavalry?"

Someone in the governor's house said in a trembling voice.

"How could the cavalry rushed towards the governor's mansion?"

Another person from the governor's house exclaimed.

"It seems that it is Sima - it must be Sun Sima's cavalry -" the young general from the Governor's Office couldn't help but shout.

When the people in the Governor's Office heard the young general's words, except for Guo Xiaoke who was sitting and Li Mengchang still kneeling, the others stood up regardless of Li Ke's orders.

However, the people from the governor's mansion had a pale face. Li Yan looked at Li Ke nervously. Seeing that Li Ke and Di Zhixun were calm, he felt ashamed and sat upright on the chair.

"Click! Click!"

The sound of horse hooves comes from far to near.

Everyone in the hall's heart trembled with the sound of horse hooves.

Li Ke raised his wine glass and said to the people in the governor's mansion beside him, "Don't panic, let's have another drink."

After saying that, the glass was dry.

The people from the governor's house reluctantly raised their wine glasses, but did not drink the wine in the glass.

The sound of horse hooves stopped abruptly outside the governor's mansion, and then the sound of soldiers' calls and weapons intersecting.

The people in the governor's mansion seemed to be in vain at this time, and even Li Yan didn't know what to do except look at Li Ke and Di Zhixun from time to time.

On the contrary, everyone from the Governor's Office, Li Ke, saw an expression of expectation on their faces.

The noise outside the gate of the governor's mansion was getting closer and closer, and a Fei Tang army in the governor's mansion fell to the hall in a mess, "Report - Governor..." Before he finished speaking, he heard hundreds of guards in black-clad black armor pouring into the hall under the leadership of a general wearing black-clad black armored army general and officials wearing seventh-rank court uniforms.

The Black Armor General shouted as he walked into the hall, "Take me the rebels!"

"promise."

The black armored guards rushed into the hall like wolves. They ignored who was standing. As long as you were standing in the hall, they would draw their swords at you.

Several generals of the Governor's Office were about to resist the black armored guards with their arrogance, but they were beaten up by the black armored guards who rushed up, and then put the knife on their necks. The meaning was self-evident that as long as you dare to touch, I would dare to kill you. The generals of the Governor's Office took a look at the black guards in front of them, and finally compromised.

For the Black Armored Guards, they don’t care whether you are a general or a governor, they only obey the orders of their superiors.

The people standing in the Governor's Mansion were rushed to the corner of the hall like prisoners by the black armored guards and squatted down.

However, at this time, they looked at Li Mengchang, who was kneeling in the same place and Guo Xiaoke who was sitting on the table without moving, and then they suddenly realized how stupid they were. Li Ke had eight thousand iron cavalry in his hand. No matter how arrogant you are, they would still destroy you.

After the order from the Black Armor General was issued, he and the seventh-rank official walked up to Li Ke at the same time and said, "The last general, I am late to save the emperor, I hope your highness will forgive me."

It turned out that the person who came was not Sun Erlang's troops but Su Dingfang and the Wolf Cavalry Camp.

No wonder the behavior just now was as cruel as a group of wolves, even the generals fighting bloody battles of the Governor's Office were suppressed by their fierceness.

"Dingfang and Yan clans do not need much ritual."

Li Ke smiled and introduced to Li Yan beside him, "Brother, let me introduce you to you. These two are Su Dingfang, the general of Qianniu Guard, who were not invited to attend the attendance, and Bo Xu Jingzong, the head of the Han Palace."

After Ma Zhou entered the Censorate, Xu Jingzong was appointed as Li Ke's lord by Li Shimin.

Li Ke's words were very plain, but they were very harsh in Li Yan's ears. The governor's mansion did not invite the two to attend the banquet. He knew that Li Ke had already understood that this was the arrangement of the governor's mansion. Now he said so that he would express his attitude on behalf of the governor's mansion.

"General Su and Master Xu are courteous. The governor's mansion hosted a banquet for His Highness today. It was not disturbed because of the busy military affairs of the two. We are very happy that the two of them were able to attend the banquet at this time."

Li Yan said a few politely and turned his gaze to Li Ke, but Li Ke was still unmoved.

Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong also bowed and did not reply to Li Yan.

Li Yan smiled awkwardly and lay down without saying anything more. He just saw from the fierceness of the black guard that if anyone in the hall dared to disrespect Li Ke, they would definitely cut him down.

Li Ke looked at Guo Xiaoke who was sitting beside him and ignored him. Instead, he stepped forward and helped Li Mengchang, who was kneeling on the ground, picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Li, I wish you a glass."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Meng said in a humble and arrogant manner, and he took Li Ke's wine and drank it all.

Li Ke sighed in his heart that Li Mengchang is a real soldier, and he deserves to be a person who has followed Li Shimin. He did a good job in order to enforce the orders. He did not order him to get up, but he kept kneeling until now. It was not that he captured Li Ke's majesty, but because Li Ke was the Grand Governor of Bingzhou and the General of the Governor's Office.

After Li Ke respected Li Meng, he bowed to Li Yan, who was sitting on the chair, and said, "I am not drunk and physically uncomfortable and say goodbye first. I will go to the mansion to visit my brother in the evening."

"Please please, your highness!"

Li Yan and the people in the governor's mansion quickly stood up and said, "Tonight, I'll wait for Your Highness to come in the mansion."

Li Ke ignored Guo Xiaoke and the people of the Governor's Office and walked out of the hall. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly turned back and said to Guo Xiaoke, "Tomorrow, the Governor will be in the military camp, and all the generals of the Governor's Office will be present. Please ask Mr. Guo to inform Sun Sima to avoid delaying the time and military law handling."

Li Ke suppressed the four words "military law handling" very heavily, which made Guo Xiaoke and the people in the Governor's Office feel cold. Is His Highness the King of Han really going to deal with Sun Sima?

Li Ke did not pay attention to the expressions of everyone after hearing this. He calmly walked out of the governor's mansion. Chen Qi, Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong followed him tightly. Seeing that Li Ke had left, the black-clothed wolf cavalry had just stepped out of the hall of the governor's mansion in an orderly manner.

The people in the hall were no longer interested in drinking. They said goodbye to each other and dispersed one after another. Only the people in the Governor's Office were left in the hall. Li Meng had also claimed the crimes of Guo Xiaoke and left the hall. The people in the Governor's Office surrounded Guo Xiaoke and wanted to hear what Guo Xiaoke said, but what disappointed them was that Guo Xiaoke didn't say a word, and just sat silently on the chair without saying a word. After a while, he said a difficult sentence, "Let's go to the Sun Mansion to see Sun Sima's injury first."

Li Ke and his group returned to the study room of the Governor's Office. Only then did Li Ke say to Chen Qi beside him, "Heiyi closely monitors everyone at the banquet today. They report to me immediately whenever there is any movement."

"promise."

Chen Qi replied.

"Dingfang, transfer three thousand cavalry into the city tonight."

Li Ke said seriously.

"promise."

Su Dingfang did not ask why, but just answered respectfully.

After Li Ke ordered the task, he said to the three of them, "Nothing is wrong, you all go down."

The three of them respectfully bowed to Li Ke and left the study.

Li Ke in the study silently recalled the scene of today's banquet in his heart, and he felt that many things were strange.

Although the conflict between the generals of the Governor's Office and the Governor's Office exists, it is not very large, and it is not as strong as water and fire.

Therefore, there is no need for him to get close to Li Yan to cause the generals of the Governor's Office to be so negligent and cold towards him.

If all the generals of the Governor's Office were hostile to him, Li Ke felt that perhaps he was too close to Li Yan, which led to the people of the Governor's Office treating him as an enemy.

Li Mengchang's respectful attitude towards himself made Li Ke cancel this speculation. Through his understanding of Li Mengchang's background, Li Ke knew that he was one of the pioneers of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen coup and a die-hard confidant of Li Shimin, who was born in the Qin Palace. His respect for himself only means that he is the person standing behind Li Shimin.

Then Li Ke thought of Sun Erlang's background, who was a general who had been through life and death with Li Ji.

"I see!"

Li Ke sighed, and he finally understood what the purpose of the people in the Governor's Mansion was hostile to him. "I really want to go to Li Yan's Mansion tonight!"

Li’s Mansion, Li Yan’s study.

Li Yan, the governor's office, Yuan Deqian, Sima Yu Kailun, and three middle-aged men in their forties sat silently.

Just now, after Li Yan told everyone about Li Ke's words and deeds in the hall of the governor's mansion, they began to remain silent.

The three middle-aged people are either other people, the Yuanxin family, Yu Jin family, and Li Bi family.

Like Li Yan, they are both strong men who have a place in the Guanlong Group. The reason they came to Li Yan's mansion today was to see Li Ke's attitude through the observation of the banquet.

They all represent their own families, and their words and affairs are mainly based on the interests of their own families.

This time, Li Shimin sent Li Ke to govern the Bingzhou, and they could not sit idly by. They knew Li Ke's talents quite well, so they attached great importance to Li Ke's every move.

Today's banquet was planned by them. The omissions of Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong at the banquet were also deliberately arranged by them. The purpose was to see Li Ke's reaction. However, I didn't expect that the Governor's Office was also targeting Li Ke, and there was also a case of Sun Erlang slandering the imperial officials. I didn't expect that Li Ke's attitude would be so tough.

"Since--" said the patriarch of the Li Bi family, "The emperor sent the Han King to Zhenfan Bingzhou to let him rectify the civil and military affairs of Bingzhou, then we should see how powerful he is and then make a decision again!"

"kindness!"

The patriarch of Yu Jin's family nodded and said, "Isn't the Governor's Office hostile to him?

Then let’s see how capable he is and whether he can eat this piece of fat meat in Taiyuan Mansion.”

"I have no objection!"

The patriarch of the Yuanxin family looked at Li Yan and the other two and said.

"Since you three have no objection, I mean that we neither support him nor oppose him. As for the Governor's Office, it depends on his own abilities!"

Li Yan said.

"good!"
