"Li Fujun, you are well." Under the pavilion by Nangong Lake, Zhang Xing, who looked refreshed, saw the person coming and held his hands from a distance, but did not get up. "From Wu'an to here, the journey has been peaceful.
?Speaking of which, we should be going along the way, why didn’t we bump into each other on the road?”
Li Ding was silent for a moment, ignoring the other party's sarcasm, and just said hello to Feng Wuyi: "Mr. Feng, we said goodbye in a hurry that day at Heidiguan and didn't say hello in detail. After I went back, I thought about it, we had met in private before.
It was the time when Xidu Yanguogong Old Garden was visited, but by the count, it was already thirteen years ago."
Feng Wuyi only remembered what happened on his way back last time. He couldn't remember such a distant past. Even if he remembered things, he couldn't remember an ordinary young man from Guanlong. He just stood up and smiled bitterly: "Things have changed and people have changed. I don't want to see you again later, Li Silang."
He is already a famous figure."
"What kind of man is he? He's just a robber and thief." Zhang Xing continued to taunt Li Ding before he could say anything polite. "Unlike me, he built a gang to eliminate the Wei Dynasty, promote righteousness, save the people, and pacify the world... Mr. Feng
, you will be laughed at by others if you say such things."
Li Ding didn't say a word, and Feng Wuyi didn't say a word either. Both of them were a little embarrassed... It wasn't just that Zhang Xing was ruthless and thorny, but also that no matter what, they were still "officials of the imperial court" or "
"Former imperial official", it turned out that a rebel was here to taunt the two of them. What was even more embarrassing was that everyone knew very well that this gathering was probably about the rebel trying to mediate peace between a group of court officials who had merged with each other.
.
This seems absurd.
But from a practical point of view, it is true that only the gang has the qualifications, ability and position to do this mediation.
This is even more ridiculous.
Next, several people were silent for a while, just staring at the Nangong Lake where the lake bed was clearly exposed due to the drought and lack of rain this year. Zhang Xing also stopped teasing.
After a pause, as the time came to noon, there were words outside, saying that the No. 1 and No. 2 Zhonglang generals of Youzhou Camp, namely Luo Shu and Li Li, had arrived.
As soon as the two of them entered, Luo Shu took the lead in handing over the younger Li Li, but he also looked at Feng Wuyi: "Mr. Feng, it has been more than twenty years since your home in Changle sent you to serve as an official."
Different from before, Feng Wuyi certainly remembered such a thing, but he really couldn't remember Luo Shu, because back then Luo Shu was destined to be just a remnant of the run-down Eastern Qi Dynasty, with no family reputation, so he had no choice but to hand it over:
"Indeed, it has been more than 20 years, and General Luo's style remains the same."
Li Li also came to hand over his hand at this time: "Feng Gong, we are much better. The last time we met was on the Longevity Festival six years ago, right? In the Zhuolong Garden of the Taoism Workshop, in the presence of several imperial masters of the Trinity Orthodox Church
, my father introduced me to Mr. Feng."
To be honest, Feng Wuyi didn't remember it. As the saint's late official, later the actual chief writer of the imperial court, and a first-class confidant, who wouldn't fawn over him? At that time, Li Li was just a powerful Guan Long.
He is just a direct descendant of the family.
"Not bad, not bad." Feng Wuyi sighed. "It's a pity that your father has been in poor health recently and can't come over to reminisce."
Zhang Xing was speechless as he listened, and finally couldn't help but smile with his hands raised: "This is really common in Yan Gong's residence, and I have heard it several times in Zhuolong Garden. It is the beautiful scenery in Hebei, and we meet you again in the fall leaves season... You really show off your talents.
The scene of the violent decline of the Wei Dynasty... It can be seen from just a few people that the Wei Dynasty is really going to fall."
There were several people around, Luo Shu was cunning, and Li Li was young. They had no idea where this guy came from and what he was saying. In addition, they were afraid of Zhang Xing, so they just looked at each other. Li Ding understood, but was too lazy to pay attention.
Only Feng Wuyi, whose cultural level was here, and whose feelings were particularly profound, actually let out a sigh.
At this time, Xue Changxiong also arrived... In fact, everyone had arrived early, including the fact that yesterday they discussed with each other through Feng Wuyi the issue of asking Xiong Bonan and Zhang Shiniang not to attend the meeting. They had just made an appointment at this time... At this time, the last person
When he arrived, especially the one with the highest official position and the highest cultivation level in theory, everyone gave him some respect, including Zhang Xing, who also stood up to greet him.
When the two parties met, Xue Changxiong somehow didn't hold Feng Wuyi's hand and told him where we were in the garden last year. We hadn't seen him for a long time. When he arrived, he just exchanged greetings and then entered the pavilion to take a seat in a grand manner.
Zhang Xing pushed Feng Wuyi to sit first, then he sat down, and then Li Ding, Luo Shu, and Li Li sat down one by one.
After sitting down, everyone did not talk about military and state affairs, nor did they question Li Ding. Instead, they all looked at Zhang Xing - they were willing to come over, of course, because Li Ding had done such a bad thing, and they needed to discuss and observe the dynamics of all parties, but one
The reason for persuading the respective factions, or the reason Zhang Xing gave them to attend the meeting, was also very obvious, that is, the gang could provide some information in the direction of Jiangdu.
Since all the rivers and rivers were divided, Hebei has basically heard no news from Jiangdu.
In this case, even if they were determined to fight, kill or make peace from the beginning, or were destined to act based on internal decisions, it would not delay them from coming to listen.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingming knew what these people wanted to hear, so he laughed instead and started with an inexplicable topic: "Everyone, you are different from me. You all come from a famous family, but you don't know whose ancestor was an emperor?"
Several people were confused, but Feng Wuyi gave a wry smile: "It should be that only my ancestors have ever been emperors. Er Li Xue Luo and others are just behind the generals."
"Oh." Zhang Xing was obviously surprised, and even the others were at a loss.
"It's no wonder that you don't know. What happened to my ancestors is really ridiculous. After the Murong family was defeated by Emperor Taiwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Hebei, they fled to the northeast, took over four or five small towns in the east of Youzhou, and joined forces to form a stronghold.
The Gao family of Bohai, one of the seven cities in the North, and later the family of Lelanggong, one of the Eight Dukes of the North, took advantage of the fall of the world to restore the country. Then the Murong family who restored the country died early, and the successors
He also behaved violently. As a general under the Murong clan at that time, and having a very good relationship with the Duke Lelang family, my ancestor was pushed to usurp the throne. He supported him for more than ten years, and then died in the civil strife. He immediately sought peace for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Feng Wuyi was obviously embarrassed. "It's just a shame to talk about this matter, but since it is an establishment, it is indispensable in the history books. It is not easy to cover up, let alone cover up."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
However, Zhang Xing is still curious: "What is the meaning of being an emperor, such as the supreme selection, the real dragon protection, etc.? After all, as Feng Gong said, your ancestor has been the emperor for more than ten years, and the Feng family has continued to this day.
, and its reputation has not diminished, it is really interesting.”
"Our Feng family's continuation has nothing to do with our ancestor, the emperor. It is mainly because we are relatives of the Great Zhou Dynasty... This relative's reputation is not very good, so the reputation in Hebei is still not as good as that of Lu Cui and others, but it has been inherited to some extent.
"Feng Wuyi became more and more embarrassed, but he still sought truth from facts. "As for the supreme, real dragon, there really is... It is said that my ancestor who was the emperor encountered a golden dragon in Nangong Lake when he was young, and it is said that the golden dragon was killed by the golden dragon.
Possessed... Later people said that it was not a real dragon, but the remnant soul of a real dragon. You will know if you look at Nangong Lake, it is so small, how can you hide a real dragon?"
Several other people were already fascinated by what they heard and went to look at Nangong Lake again. Luo Shu even stood up and looked around, then sat down again and was amazed.
Zhang Xing, on the other hand, still joked: "So, among those sitting here today, it is estimated that only Li Ding, Fourth Master, can be the emperor. He has met Hu Yunjun, who is a well-known true dragon."
Everyone looked at Li Ding in surprise.
Li Ding finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Didn't you also see Fenshanjun?"
"Is that the same thing?" Zhang Xing sneered. "I was on the battlefield during the Second Campaign when I saw Lord Fenshan splitting from the ground from a distance. You met Lord Huyun in person, and they even told you your fortune. What?
When you encounter the mountains, you will be happy... Do you think that you will be happy when you come to Hongshan?"
The faces of the people around him became even weirder, but Li Ding fell silent. He knew that if he continued to talk to the other party, he would only become more passive, so he simply said nothing.
At this moment, Xue Changxiong said instead: "Chief Zhang said this, but he has the intention of establishing an organization and becoming emperor? Let me tell you, if you act like this, we people will have to unite as one even if we risk our lives.
I will fight you to the end. Even though you are tyrannical, you may not be able to gain a foothold in Hebei by then."
"That's exactly what he said." Li Liye said suddenly. "My father said before he came that no matter what, the gang should be the first person to be wary of in person, especially after Zhang... Chief Zhang became the chief."
Li Ding wanted to follow, but didn't know how.
"Both of the stewards are loyal ministers, unlike the ambitious Mr. Li." Zhang Xing glanced at Li Silang and sighed sincerely. "But what I say is not that I want to be the emperor, but that there has been a new situation in the south recently.
Interesting anecdote, just an association... Do you know that the saint is planning to build Danyang Palace?"
Except for Xue Changxiong, who already knew about it, the rest of the people were all dumbfounded... This would be impossible to do without being dumbfounded.
"This incident directly caused several serious consequences." Zhang Xing continued. "One is that Xianggong Yu can no longer act, and the saint has destroyed his confidants. In fact, he can no longer communicate properly with foreign dynasties, and Jiangdu has lost its financial supply;
The other is that the Forbidden Army has become more clandestine. In the past, the Forbidden Army openly traded with me, killed people, returned Langya, and bribed me back into the army in exchange for property. Although it was Sima's ambitions that expanded and the internal and external isolation was isolated, it also meant that the Forbidden Army as a whole was adding fuel to the flames; the last one,
As you all can imagine, Jiangnan can no longer tolerate it."
Halfway through hearing this, Xue Changxiong's expression turned gloomy, Feng Wuyi also felt disappointed, Li Li and Luo Shu were also a little uneasy, but Li Ding remained silent and did not change his expression at all.
"That happened in the summer. As soon as I returned to the army, I told Duke Xue about it. On the way back to the army, Zhou Xiaoshang raised three counties in Yiyang and Pinglu to fight against Wei. The families in Jiangdong also caught up with them. I hope I can fight with him.
They contacted each other and helped them start an uprising in Jiangdong... However, Jiangdong was too far away, and neither Chen Bin nor Xie Minghe wanted to go back, so they ignored it." Zhang Xing continued to speak. "As a result, in autumn, Jiangnan was still there.
There was an incident in Jiangxi, Jiangdong and Hunan. Except for Xuancheng, where the two masters Tuwan and Yu were stationed, and the counties below Xiangyang, where Jiujiang and Bai Hengyuan were guarding, almost no county refused to rebel... At this time, that interesting thing happened,
It happened in Changsha."
At this point, Chief Zhang's lips curled up slightly: "There is a county magistrate in Changsha, whose surname is Xiao Minghui. He is the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty, after the Xiao family of the Southern Dynasty. Several local tycoons raised an army, and in a short time they had tens of thousands of soldiers, occupying the entire Changsha.
The leader of the county was uneasy, so he found the magistrate of Xiao County and promoted him to be the leader of the left. He made the leader of the right himself. Not to mention, after occupying Changsha, not only several counties in Hunan followed suit, but also Jiangxi nearby
He had rebelled a long time ago. The aristocratic families, tycoons, and local officials from Yuzhang, Yichun, and Luling counties came to look for Xiao Hui one after another. Xiao Hui didn't know whether he was afraid of Bai Hengyuan or wanted to get rid of his puppet status, so he simply left Changsha.
We went to Jiangxi, but within half a month, seven counties gathered together, and Xiao Longtou became Chief Xiao."
"It's easier than you." Li Ding thought thoughtfully.
"It's not over yet." Zhang Xing continued. "When he arrived in Jiangxi, the True Fire Religion Army, which had been traveling east of Jiangxi Province, also came to look for him and wanted to join forces with him. The condition was that the True Fire Religion be established as the state religion in the future and be granted the title of Confessor.
The current leader was Marshal Ma, the leader of the army of the real protector of the country, so he agreed. So within twenty or thirty days, he took over all the ten counties in Jiangdong, Jiangxi and Hunan. Then he called himself Liang Gong and enfeoffed the real leader of the protector of the country.
There was a marshal, a prime minister on the left and a right, dozens of generals and county guards, and they even respected the great master who had set up a thousand gold pillar as the Taifu, the great protector of the country... Then, the heroes from the south of the Yangtze River crossed the river from the north to the south.
As far as Nanling, from Dongting in the west to Donghai in the east, they all professed their vassalage to him. The situation in the Southern Dynasties in the past was dimmed by sixty-seven points... And after he proclaimed himself Liang Gong, he did not forget to send a letter to Zhou Xiaoshang in the north of the Yangtze River, saying that I am not sensible here.
If I don't declare myself king as soon as possible, how can I enfeoff Zhou Xiaoshang and make him a duke? It's ridiculous to think that Zhou Xiaoshang can be a duke without rebelling, but he can't be a duke if he rebels, so he asked Zhou Xiaoshang to return to the Liang Kingdom and promised
The position of Duke Huang."
The rest of the people seemed to understand why Chief Zhang was sarcastic... A man who claimed to be the Duke of the country promised to be the Duke of the country. Coupled with his status, family background and territory, he might be able to become king and emperor immediately.
"This man is really lucky." Luo Shu sighed with emotion. "With just one surname, the land of ten counties was given to him for free within a month, and then the whole Jiangnan fell to his knees. Could it be that the Xiao family really had national destiny in the Southern Dynasties?"
"If you let Chen Bin go, there is no chance that this situation will happen."
Xiao Hui occupied Nanliang, that's all."
"If those people in Nanliang can't hold on, they won't be able to accomplish anything." Li Ding said something shocking. "Yang Bin killed many people in Jiangnan back then, and all the essence was lost. Now that the territory is so big, there is only one leader of the True Fire Sect.
The grand master, the grand master who is rich in gold, is devoted to curing diseases and saving people, and has never interfered in the world... Moreover, the Feng family of Nanling is really willing to give up this great opportunity and continue to be a vassal? Not to mention a group of powerful, aristocratic, Taoist, and female
Crowns, surrendered ministers, and bandits have no discipline or system. Xiao Hui, a county magistrate, is merciless and powerless. It seems that he has no virtue and no merit in his actions. How can he suppress the people below? If he can suppress him, he will inevitably have to do it.
Kill and attack, and then lose the hearts of the people. If you can't suppress it, you will inevitably kill each other and hollow out the inside. As long as 30,000 elites, with 40 to 50% of the pills, can be wiped out by going down the river."
"Indeed, I believe in Li Fujun's ability." Zhang Xing sneered. "In seven or eight days, two counties were annexed. It took only forty or fifty days to annex the land of ten counties. But I don't know when Li Fujun will annex it."
Hebei?”
Everyone came to see Li Ding, and Li Ding's face turned green and red.
This was the most embarrassing part for him. He didn't expect to annex Zhaojun so soon, but Zhaojun's reaction was too fierce. He was worried that if he missed this opportunity, he would not be able to take it again. As a result, after successive annexations, he
Too much political credibility has been lost.
If it is lost, it is lost, but the problem is that at the moment he still hopes to stabilize the situation and avoid direct war with Youzhou, Hejian, and the gang, so he has to try his best to engage in diplomacy, which is very embarrassing.
Several other people were also serious and wanted to speak.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing suddenly returned to the story of Jiangnan: "The situation in Jiangnan is not only a sign that the Wei Dynasty will perish, but it is also a lucky thing for the Wei Dynasty... because at this time, the saint took advantage of the situation to return north.
The last chance... If the Imperial Army does not resist, it is actually waiting for this saint to hit the wall."
Everyone was startled, and then looked at each other with different expressions, but then turned to look at Feng Wuyi, who had been silent before.
Old Man Feng felt dark for a moment and just shook his head: "I'm afraid it's very difficult. The more this happens, the less likely the saint will come back..."
"That's what I think too."
"It's the same as what I thought, but I still have to thank Feng Gong for this reassurance, otherwise he really wants to come back and make a trip from Huaixi. Do you think I should stop him or not?" Zhang Xing also sat down.
There he spread his arms to confront him. "Let him stay in Jiangdu for one or two more years. It is best if the imperial army wants to rebel but is afraid of a few masters. It will continue to consume him until one side is rotten."
At this point, Zhang Xing looked at Xue Changxiong: "Mr. Xue, is your eldest son in Jiangdu? Do you want to write a letter or send a son to pick him up? I promise not to stop you... You must know that the current situation
If you stay in Jiangdu, you may not be able to be a loyal minister, or if you are caught up in the situation, you may become a rebellious minister."
Xue Changxiong glanced at Zhang Xing, then slowly shook his head: "Everyone has his own destiny. He can choose his own loyal ministers and disloyal ministers. Besides, he may not be able to become a filial son when he comes to Hebei."
Several people fell silent.
Manager Xue was silent for a moment, but then continued: "I sometimes wonder, what would I have done if the Hebei manager ordered by the sage was someone else in Gushui that day? Is it really possible to escape? I'm afraid it's also hard work to maintain.
.In troubled times, everyone should stand upright with the straight sword in his hand. Don't be half-hearted and look forward and backward."
The rest of the people remained silent.
"I never thought that I didn't kill Zhang Han in Gushui that day. I would have killed him a hundred times." Zhang Xing shook his head slowly, then looked at Li Li. "Mr. Li, I heard that your father's health is
Not good? You are known as a filial son, but do you have any plans to send him back to your hometown in Kansai to recuperate?"
Li Li shook his head slowly: "My father is strong and strong, and there is no doubt that his cultivation can be improved."
Luo Shu curled his lips slightly at the side, but he made no secret of it, and everyone would understand.
Zhang Xing nodded and went to look at Feng Wuyi again: "Mr. Feng, people outside say that your nephew has become a thief, and you are helping me, a rebel, to gather the princes of Hebei today. I understand that you are already preparing to become a thief.
What do you think?"
"I have a clear conscience." Feng Wuyi regained his composure and answered seriously. "If you stay in Jiangdu, you will die. Just be a loyal minister, but since you came back early by accident, you should try your best to serve the place... You
What you said in the letter is quite right. The whole north is facing a drought this year. Once the big weapons are used, things were fine before the year, but when there is a drought after the year, something big will happen. That’s why I’m here to help you.”
"Yes, whoever takes the initiative to start the war will be a thief in the world and a thief in Hebei." Zhang Xing finally looked at Li Ding again. "I really didn't expect that some people who are so stupid are not as good as Feng Gong.
How can a retired person be considered a hero?"
The others, after experiencing many interruptions, finally regained their spirits and looked at Li Ding together.
Li Ding narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his mouth to speak, but then shut up.
"The reason why we hold a small meeting is to speak freely." Zhang Xing urged. "Today, there are only four or five people in the lakeside pavilion. I, a rebel, can sit here and chat with all the loyal ministers and filial sons. You just annexed two
As a colleague, what can’t you say?”
"Why do you need to listen to me first?" Li Ding sighed. "You, Zhang Sanlang, are known as the chief of Jianghe. If you say one sentence, all the twenty counties will listen in awe. You actually convened this meeting. What do you want?
Why not say it first?"
"What I can control is only the land of ten counties, and then Huaixi can interfere with the overall situation, that's all... This is also a delay in the attack on Xuzhou." Zhang Xingyi said, and looked at Luo Shu. "On the contrary, You
The state is actually a land of twenty counties..."
"Chief Zhang, don't be ridiculous. Our twenty counties combined can cover half of the Eastern Territory?" Luo Shu quickly came to laugh. "Chief Zhang, let's talk first. Let's listen."
"Well, don't tell me." Zhang Xing sighed and finally spoke. "First, Youzhou must control itself. Let's be reasonable. Even if Li Ding didn't go to capture Zhao County this time, you Youzhou
Taking over Zhao County, Mr. Xue couldn't bear it. How could he let Youzhou occupy his upper reaches, or even occupy it on both sides? How you fight for power internally is your own business, but you can't throw it outside easily. If there is a real fight,
Whose fault is it? I just asked Mr. Li if he was not in good health. I was not mocking or threatening, but I was saying that if Mr. Li is really not good and Youzhou suddenly falls into chaos and no one can control it, then everyone should not stay here anymore.
After seeing the view of the lake, we just dispersed and stayed at our houses until the sky was dark."
"It should be fine before the end of the year." Luo Shu suddenly said. "Mr. Li is a little unwell, but it should be fine before the end of the year. We are willing to try our best to restrain him, but Zhaojun's affairs must be explained to us. Five thousand soldiers and horses, three
Thousands of cavalry, one lieutenant general...how do you say that?"
Li Li glanced at Luo Shu, suddenly stood up, and walked away with a flourish of his sleeves.
Everyone watched this person leave without saying much, and then Xue Changxiong also spoke bluntly: "I cannot allow the upper reaches to fall into the hands of a threatening person. If it cannot be resolved here, I will definitely send troops in the future.
"
Zhang Xing raised his forehead and looked at Li Ding: "This is the second point I want to say. Mr. Li Fu, you must withdraw from Zhao County! You must also return Youzhou's troops, horses and weapons!"
Li Ding narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately asked: "It's easy for me to withdraw from Zhao County. Who can stabilize Zhao County? Is it your help? Or should we let Hejian soldiers and Youzhou soldiers come?"
"Youzhou Army, no one can go!"
"Liu, you are greedy and young. Now that you have obtained the land of three counties, you can raise an army for a year or two, and I can't afford to unite a family from the south or the north... I have already prepared to send troops to repel you in the autumn."
Li Ding took a long breath: "Where are you going to push me back, Mr. Xue?"
"Quit Zhao County, Xiangguo County, and return to Wu'an." Xue Changxiong did not hesitate at all. "As I said, you can't get upstream of me."
"If this is the case, neither our gang nor Youzhou can tolerate it." Zhang Xing responded simply. "I understand what Mr. Xue means. Hejian is located in the center of Hebei. Now there are powerful forces on both sides of the north and south. It is already very uncomfortable. If
It is absolutely unbearable for another force that can directly threaten you to appear in the west... But has Mr. Xue ever thought about it? Once you take Xiangguo and Zhaojun, and cross Hebei, we can't bear it either."
"That's right." Li Ding said seriously. "Xue Gong, you can't occupy the upper reaches, and they won't allow it. Instead of letting Youzhou and help occupy the upper reaches of Zhuozhang River, why don't I occupy it."
Xue Changxiong wanted to sneer.
"I said it all!" At this moment, Zhang Xing suddenly yelled at Li Ding. "Quit Zhao County, otherwise the army will directly send troops to Wu'an. I will only fight with you Xiangguo County, not Zhao County! Hebei
It’s not your turn to speak about this matter!”
The pavilion was quiet for a while. After a long while, Li Ding just stared at the other person and slowly asked: "It's easy for me to withdraw. Who will occupy it?"
"No one can occupy it." Zhang Xing calmed down. "The situation is very clear. Only by retreating to the front of the battle of Zhaojun can everyone accept it."
"Then let Mr. Zhang continue to be the prefect? If I let him go, would he dare?" Li Ding was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Then let someone who is recognized by everyone and has prestige come alone to lead Zhao County." Zhang Xing did not hesitate. "I will recommend one."
"Everyone can't stand what you recommend." Li Ding's smile continued. "Xue Gong especially can't stand it."
"I recommend Mr. Feng." Zhang Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the person beside him.
There was an instant silence in the pavilion.
Feng Wuyi was caught off guard.
"I think it's okay." After a long time, Luo Shu was the first to break the silence and said with a smile. "Feng Gong's family is in Xindu, and he will never oppose Xue Gong. He has great prestige, loves the people, and is a native of Hebei. Everyone
Everyone supports it.”
Xue Changxiong thought for a moment and responded slowly: "I think it's okay."
Feng Wuyi opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
"Feng Gong, if you fail to respond at this time, chaos will break out in Hebei, and the consequences will be disastrous." Zhang Xing promptly reminded. "No matter what, the Gang, Hejian, and Youzhou families cannot fight. This is the bottom line, because once they fight, Hebei will be destroyed."
The only way to stop is to come up with one result, and maybe the whole of Hebei will turn into white ground."
Feng Wuyi fell silent.
"If this is the case, Mr. Li Fu, can you return the soldiers to us?" Seeing this, Luo Shu asked Li Ding again but failed to do so.
Li Ding was silent for a full quarter of an hour, and then finally said: "Then... let's do this."
Hearing this, Xue Changxiong immediately stood up and left straight away.
Li Ding and Luo Shu are also leaving.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing suddenly stopped the former: "Li Silang, stop."
Li Ding turned around to look, the dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible: "What else can you say?"
"I have something to ask you." Zhang Xing spoke seriously, but then looked at Feng Wuyi. "Mr. Feng, I would like to lend you your pavilion."
Feng Wuyi understood and quickly walked away. Luo Shu, who had stopped, smiled and left with Feng Wuyi. There were only two people, Zhang San and Li Si, left in the pavilion.
The two sat down again and looked at Nangong Lake without saying a word.
After a while, as a gust of wind ruffled the water in the pool, Zhang Sanlang finally said: "I have always been curious about one thing. You said that you took Zhao County so easily. There was no one in Hebei before the matter was settled.
I thought you would send troops so soon, but why was it that when you wanted to take Xiangguo County, Commander Chen could not predict it? Find me many days in advance?"
"Since you have thought about it, you will naturally guess it." Li Ding calmly answered. "I told Xie Minghe that I wanted to remind you, and that's what I meant."
"Bai Hengqiu is a bastard!" Zhang Xing sneered. "You only know how to play chess...and what about you, Li Silang? Are you so impatient that you are willing to be a chess piece?"
Li Ding looked at the lake and sighed: "I just don't want to fall too far behind others... I feel anxious and angry, so I don't care about anything."
