The man kneeling on the ground was about forty years old, with a fair complexion, and he was clearly a figure from the northern part of the country.
Fang Longhai, the commander of the guards of the Zhenbei Houfu, has 30,000 troops under his command. He is the elite of the Zhenbei army, and his combat power is even higher than that of the special operations brigade.
What?
Chu Qiaoer was shocked when she heard this and was stunned.
When her father was alive, Saibei had always been united and never had civil strife. But now that her father had just passed away, things had changed in Saibei. In addition, Chu Wanli, the rich man, gave her the impression of being a kind old man and he loved her very much. She
I really didn’t expect that Chu Wanli would seize power.
"Commander Fang, haven't you seen King Bei?"
Chu Qiao'er calmed down and said dissatisfiedly, it was her face that was brought to disgrace by the people below because they didn't understand the rules.
"I saw it, I saw it. I'm here to pay my respects to King Bei. I was so excited when I saw the princess just now. In addition, due to the unexpected events in Saibei, I didn't take care of it... Please forgive me, the princess, and please don't blame King Bei."
Fang Longhai said hurriedly, kowtowing fiercely and showing respect.
For Li Yang, the Saibei Zhenbei Army is very grateful. If Li Yang hadn't sent troops to intercept Hu Yidao's Nine Great Regiments, they would have been in danger in Saibei. In addition, if it weren't for Li Yang, the princess would not be still alive. Everything that happened in the imperial city
, there are channels in Saibei to obtain news.
"Brother Fang, there's no need to be polite, get up."
Li Yang reached out and helped him up.
Li Yang also had some impressions of this Fang Hailong. In the past, he escorted Chu Qiaoer to Saibei and stayed at Zhenbei Houfu for a few days. Fang Hailong took him to visit many places.
"what happened?"
Chu Qiaoer then asked.
"The elder of the wealthy family suddenly made a public speech the day before yesterday, saying that as the elder of the Chu family, he would take over the Zhenbei Army and lead the Zhenbei Army out of the border to fight and avenge the Marquis."
"Our Zhenbei Army is loyal to the Marquis and the Chu family, so now there are conflicts within our Zhenbei Army. Many military commanders agree that the elders of the rich family will be in charge."
"Deputy Commander Luo wants to support you, and there are many supporters. The two sides are arguing..." Fang Hailong reported truthfully, with a solemn look on his face.
"In this way, the wealthy elder also wants to avenge my parents."
Chu Qiaoer said with relief, "If this is the case, I would agree to let the rich clan elders take the position. I am young and have never been in charge of soldiers, so my ability is definitely not as good as that of the rich clan elders."
She has no pursuit of power and is not passionate about it. She just wants to avenge her parents.
If he can take revenge, it doesn't matter if he doesn't take charge of Saibei! "Ah Chu, I think things are not that simple. You know people, know faces, but don't know the heart. The elder of your Chu family may just be shouting about revenge. In addition, I suspect that the elder of the big family has colluded with the court.
Up."
Li Yang suddenly spoke as a reminder.
"Deputy Marshal Luo also has such suspicions, and our intelligence system is doing its best to conduct a thorough investigation."
Fang Hailong followed closely.
When Chu Qiaoer heard this, she frowned fiercely, became wary, and turned her gaze to Li Yang, "In your opinion, what should I do?"
"I will arrange for you to return to Saibei as soon as possible. The Saibei Zhenbei Army can only be in your own hands. The Zhenbei Army was built by your parents. There is no reason to neglect others."
Li Yang clasped his hands behind his back and said noncommittally, "If the rich man really wants to avenge Zhenbei Hou and his wife, then his motive is understandable and he can not be investigated. But if he has colluded with the imperial court, he must be eliminated and the internal affairs cleared.
thief!"
Chu Qiaoer nodded to express her approval.
"I would also like to ask the King of the North to help me, my princess. The powerful family in the northern part of the country is quite powerful and should not be underestimated."
Fang Hailong expressed his request frankly.
"Brother Fang, don't worry. I won't help with Achu's matter, but it's not easy for Achu and I to leave the imperial city now. Let me think of a countermeasure."
Li Yang said calmly, "In this case, you stay here first, and Ma Han will lead Brother Fang to the room."
"yes."
Ma Han responded and took Fang Hailong away.
When Fang Hailong walked away, since Li Yang personally sent Chu Qiaoer back to the house, he still had some doubts and wanted to ask Chu Qiaoer carefully.
"Is this Fang Hailong reliable?"
Li Yang asked.
The Emperor is cunning, and there may be one or two tests. Whether the news brought by Fang Hailong is true or false must be questioned. It cannot be ruled out that Fang Hailong was sent by the Emperor to test them.
"It's very reliable. Commander Fang has followed my father since he was a child. He is loyal to my father and is a loyal man."
Chu Qiaoer said immediately.
"That's good. It's not that I'm paranoid. Given our current situation, we must be cautious. If we make any mistakes, our lives may not be saved."
Li Yang thought for a while and continued, "Since we can trust you, the current situation in Saibei is not good. You should be prepared to return to Saibei first and wait for my news in the next few days."
"What are you going to do? It's not that easy for us to leave the imperial city?"
Chu Qiaoer had a sad look on her face.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Li Yang patted her shoulder and walked out.
Even though he was very confident and confident in what he said to Chu Qiaoer, he didn't come up with any good solution until the night. The emperor kept them as hostages to control the Shanhe Army and the Zhenbei Army. There was no reason.
And for necessary reasons, the emperor could not let them leave.
"Your Highness, Mr. Qiu Yutang is here. Do you want to see him or not?"
Dynasty came in to report.
"See you, invite him in quickly."
Li Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qiu Yutang is a close confidant of the Emperor and knows the Emperor very well. It is very necessary to consult with Qiu Yutang. Maybe Qiu Yutang can find a solution.
Five minutes later, Qiu Yutang walked in. Without saluting, he sat down directly and drank tea with a cup.
"Master Qiu, does it feel like your own home when you come to my place?"
Li Yang said with a smile.
"I helped your boy pass the test and saved the princess. What's the matter with coming to your place for a sip of tea?"
Qiu Yutang glanced at him sideways and said angrily.
"Drink, you drink."
Li Yang made a gesture of invitation, "If you come to me with anything, just tell me."
"People who understand."
Qiu Yutang smiled and said, "The food problem of the disaster-stricken southwest has been solved, but funds for post-disaster reconstruction have not yet been secured."
He mentioned the reconstruction of the southwest to the emperor, but the emperor ignored him and pretended not to hear, so he had no choice but to come to Li Yang.
"That's no problem, I'll pay for it no matter how much it costs."
Li Yangdun did not fight, but just responded. As the conversation changed, "If you have something to ask me, I will solve it for you. I also have something to discuss with you. You can't be naughty and not tell me your ideas."
ah?"
"You're not going to do anything good if you come to me. You must be committing treason or preparing for treason. Okay, okay, let's talk."
Qiu Yutang glared at him and said helplessly.
"There has been an incident in Saibei. Chu Wanli, the elder of the Chu family, is clamoring to avenge Zhenbei Hou and his wife, and also wants to take over the Zhenbei Army. As you know, the Zhenbei Army was created by Zhenbei Hou and his wife. A Chu is still alive, and the military power cannot
So I decided to let Ah Chu go back, and I would have to follow him."
Li Yang got straight to the point and said it bluntly.
Poof! When Qiu Yutang heard this, he spit out the tea he drank.
"It's completely impossible to go back to Saibei!"
"Brother, let me give you some ideas. If you can't come up with something, I won't have the funds to rebuild the southwest."
Li Yang smiled.
"you!"
Qiu Yutang pointed at Li Yang and sighed, "It's not that I don't give you any advice, but you know how difficult it is... I don't have any ideas here anyway, but there is someone who may be able to help you."
