When Su Lu received the news from Dingxiang Guard, he was accompanying Li Qing in the palace to read the book.
Because of the rest and no need for physical exertion, Su Lu recovered a lot from his injuries and is now able to walk a short distance independently.
"Mud?"
Su Lu looked at Li Ling with a confused look on his face. How could it be Niba?
Following him from the north, Niba can be said to be loyal. Although he doesn't like staying in the south, he understands that any good man doesn't want to make contributions.
"Are you mistaken? This kid Niba has been following me since he was a young child. He has conquered all over the country and never made any mistakes. Are you sure it was him who framed Pao Ze?"
Psychologically, Su Lu was a little reluctant to believe that Niba would betray him.
Li Ling clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this matter came from the southern border. The general is still convinced of Chu Feng's character."
Su Lu nodded. In this way, Niba really had a problem. He had only been away from him for such a short time, and Niba had been corrupted by Qi Ren's colorful world.
No, it is also possible that Mud was corrupted by the colorful world and left him.
"You go ahead and do it. If that's the case, save Niba's life and see me once."
Su Lu said in a deep voice.
A hint of joy flashed across Li Ling's face, the prince was affectionate and it was a good thing for him.
"Okay, General Mo will send additional personnel to the southern border to thoroughly investigate this case."
After Su Lu finished speaking, he sat down on the chair a little tiredly. His face was a little ugly. Su Lu's body was very weak due to the injury.
Li Qing, who was reviewing the papers, raised his head and looked at Li Ling, his expression equally ugly.
But this time he was angry, made by Li Ling and Niba. After working so hard to raise Su Lu for so many days, it was better now, and he was back before liberation.
"Go ahead and get Su Ping back to me. I want to see how the person the prince entrusted to him was brought to commit such a corruption case."
Li Qing was very angry.
Li Ling's face turned pale, he apologized again and again, and retreated.
After leaving the main hall, he met Gao Zhan coming from outside. Li Ling turned his hand and a document appeared in his hand. He handed it to Gao Zhan and said:
"Eunuch Gao, this is the deed of your brother's house that you mentioned last time. It was occupied by a Shanxi businessman. I got it back. When will you meet me?"
Gao Zhan's face lit up, and he clapped his hands together, as if he wanted to shake off the dust that was not there. He solemnly took the deed, and Gao Zhan asked in a trembling voice:
"Thank you, Mr. Li. Sir, are you really sure he is my brother?"
Li Ling nodded: "I know my father-in-law must have doubts in his heart. Whenever he has time, he can just go and see him. When he sees the real person, he will naturally know whether what I said is true or false."
Gao Zhan nodded solemnly, folded the deed carefully, put it into his sleeve, then took out a wad of banknotes, handed it to Li Ling and said:
"Master Li, do you think this money is enough?"
Li Ling waved his hand: "My father-in-law is serious. This is the stolen property of Shanxi merchants. I am just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. When my father-in-law is free, just let me know directly, and I will make arrangements directly then."
Gao Zhan nodded heavily, thanked Li Ling again, then put away the banknote and turned around and entered the main hall.
Li Ling looked at Gao Zhan's back, raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked out of the palace.
Next to the vermilion pillar on one side of the hall, Li Lin with a strange look flashed past. Looking at Li Ling's back, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. This Li Ling actually dared to collude with Gao Zhan. What did he want to do?
Looking at Gao Zhan who entered the palace, Li Lin was a little worried about whether he should report this matter to the prince.
…
Old General Li's troops who went to the southern border arrived at Jiangling and handed over various affairs to Su Ping before raising their accounts to ask questions.
Looking at the generals and lieutenants standing at attention in the commander's office, General Li hammered his fist on the commander's desk and said in a loud voice:
"Commanders, I am here for the first time, Lao Li. You are all popular people in front of the prince. If you have any regrets in the future, I hope you will not blame me."
All the generals and commanders standing in the handsome tent had puzzled faces. You looked at me and I looked at you, wondering what was going on with Lao Li's grandson.
It is said that this grandson is used to deceiving his subordinates and concealing his superiors. He is as cunning as a fox. He can turn his back quickly than turning the pages of a book. He is as rough as an old farmer in the field. Looking at it now, he seems to know some etiquette.
"Now I will talk about the purpose of my coming. His Majesty said, let me come to the southern border to lead the army. Blocking the Qi people's counterattack is the bottom line. I need to accept as many Qi people as possible. I, Lao Li, thought about it. This matter is not easy to handle.
, you go back and discuss a charter with me."
"Okay, everyone, get out."
Lao Li looked like he was very annoyed right now.
Wang Si frowned and asked: "General Li, we are all in the war. This charter and strategy should be made by the commander. I think when the brothers followed the prince, he never let the brothers think about the charter or anything else.
, Lao Zhao, you think so?"
Zhao Si chuckled: "That's natural. Fighting with the prince is a good thing, but fighting with someone else's subordinates may not be a good thing."
Dong Ning looked at Wang Si and Zhao Wu, looking like you two were going to be doomed.
Sure enough, Lao Li slammed the table with such a loud voice that the tiles on the roof shook.
"Fuck you, don't tell me. In the past, when I was most annoyed, your Majesty asked me to memorize military strategies. I have only been able to memorize one page now. I'm so annoyed, so get out of here."
Wang Si snorted in his nostrils, turned around and walked out.
Cao Hua suddenly said: "Captain, didn't you bring some students from the martial arts hall with you before you came? I think it's better to let them try and see if they can come up with a charter."
Lao Li glanced at Cao Hua, he was the prince's disciple, he was still his elder according to his seniority, so he couldn't act arrogantly.
Rolling his eyes upward, Lao Li said disdainfully: "A few kids who have been training for a few days are useless for nothing."
Dong Ning said: "These people have been training for two years. Even if they don't have any real skills, they still have to have some ability to bluff people. I can't let the prince and your majesty take it wrong."
Lao Li instantly thought of what His Majesty said when he said goodbye to him, and suddenly felt guilty, and waved his hand impatiently:
"Go, go, go, go, there's no need to waste my time."
After the generals dispersed, Sun Xiu and Cao Rui came to ask Cao Hua:
"Captain, what the general just said is for us to do it, or not?"
Cao Hua laughed: "You really came from a martial arts school and were taught by my master for two years?"
Sun Xiu blushed and said hesitantly:
"The mountain commander is injured, so he doesn't come to the camp very often, and his lectures are even less frequent. However, the military strategies and battle formations written by the mountain commander are very useful, and we all learned them carefully."
Dong Ning next to him smiled: "Okay, let's go ahead and come up with some good strategies that will impress Li Erniu and prove your own worth. This is a military camp and we don't raise useless idlers."
Cao Rui's face flushed with excitement, his clenched hand moved downwards, and there was a faint sound of wind: "Great!"
When Sun Xiu and Cao Rui returned to the martial arts hall among the students, a group of people gathered around and asked randomly:
"What did Lao Litou mean by what he just said? Should we do it?"
"Senior Sister always takes care of us, so we won't be left alone."
"Sister Mao Xuan, Colonel Cao was born in fire and water, we can't compare with others."
"We are all disciples of the mountain leader. There is no distinction between high and low. In a few years, we will all be useful people."
Su Yun opened his mouth and gave instructions: "Don't make any noise, just listen to my arrangements."
"Dong Ling, you go to General Dong Ning and ask for some information. They are from the old Dong family and are easy to talk to."
"Cao Rui, you go find your old Cao family's acquaintances in the military and ask for some supplies to prepare the map of the southern border."
"Sun Xiu, take the people and figure out the terrain on the north bank of Qingjiang River."
After giving the instructions, everyone basically had their own work to do.
Dong Ling glanced sideways at Su Yun: "Everyone has work, why are you going?"
Su Yun raised the corner of his mouth: "Of course I'm going to find the powerful Dingxiang Guard to take advantage."
