PS: On the way back from Sweden, I have been busy writing papers these days, and I have fewer words to type, so there are only these manuscripts in total. I will update them today. I will make up for them after I return to China and wait for the author to recover...
·I hope everyone will forgive me. This chapter just ends the second volume.
"What about Lechang targeting us..." Chen Shucheng raised his eyebrows. As for the rest of his brother's words, he certainly agreed with both hands. But in the final analysis, the most urgent thing about this matter is not anything else, but Lechang's return.
Staring at them.
Who knows what this good sister of theirs can say with such "unbridled speech".
"Lechang is not targeting us, but the governor of Yangzhou. Let Chen Shizhong have a headache about this matter." Chen Shujian said with a coldness in his voice, "We are not considered to be the vanguard now, nor are we the highest.
If the sky falls, it won’t be our turn to lift it up.”
Chen Shucheng was startled for a moment and nodded knowingly.
Chen Shujian continued calmly: "What's more, brother, don't you think it might be best for the two of us to avoid the limelight now?"
"Brother, you mean... studying behind closed doors?" Although Chen Shucheng was not a smart person, he had grown up with Chen Shujian, so he naturally understood what Chen Shujian meant.
"Yeah, I always feel that something is wrong these days. The water in Jiankang Mansion is really too muddy. It's better for the two of us not to act rashly," Chen Shujian said with squinted eyes. At this time, although the wind and rain outside the window had calmed down,
He has made a lot of mistakes, but he is still thinking, "Whether it is Dong Palace, the governor of Yangzhou, or Lechang, as long as the two of us don't move, no one can do anything to us."
Chen Shucheng nodded solemnly: "Brother, what you said makes sense, let's watch the show for two days first!"
——————————————-
The rain was still falling thinly and diagonally outside the cloister. The water droplets dripped along the eaves and hit the puddles on the ground, creating ripples in circles.
"As long as brothers Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng don't jump around, Ansheng will still be able to live in the East Palace." Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to support the railing. Although it was getting late, he didn't feel sleepy at this time. "If these two brothers have another chance,
What kind of crooked thoughts are there to stir up trouble in the middle, I'm afraid Mr. Shen and the others will have a headache."
Xiao Shilian played with the dagger in his hand and nodded slightly when he heard what Li Xingchen said.
Neither Chen Bogu nor Princess Lechang is the kind of person who does things based on whims. Chen Bogu is inherently stable and scheming, and Princess Lechang is now forcibly dragged into this vortex by Li Xingchen.
, so now Li Xingchen is like putting a layer of window paper between the Yangzhou governor and Princess Lechang. As long as no one takes the initiative to break this layer of window paper, no one knows what the person opposite is thinking.
Naturally, they can only be suspicious and wary of each other.
It is obvious that Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng are the people most likely to break this window. For Li Xingchen, perhaps these two guys are the real variables, because this kind of guy who does things without thinking is the most unpredictable.
clear.
Chen Shujian is okay, but Chen Shucheng is hard to say, so Li Xingchen can't bet on the fate of the East Palace. He must try his best to control the two brothers, and the best way is to let them retreat and live in peace for a while.
.
In this way, perhaps the contradiction and hostility between the governor of Yangzhou and Lechang will not be exposed. Neither Chen Shuling nor Chen Bogu will take the initiative to take advantage of it without knowing what tricks and traps the other party has prepared.
Go in.
However, Lechang actually had no traps or routines, which would only make Chen Shuling and the others even more suspicious.
In this way, Li Xingchen's plan of delaying time until the end of the battle to destroy Xiliang can be implemented smoothly.
"This Jiankang Mansion should be stable for a while," Li Xingchen took a deep breath and looked at the rain outside the railing, which was gradually getting smaller. "We have done everything we can, and the rest is not yours."
That’s all I can predict.”
Xiao Shilian nodded deeply. After all, their power was limited. When Wu Mingche and other senior ministers in the court were still waiting and watching or just expressed their opinions secretly, this was all they could do.
After all, for the current East Palace, with the gathering of Zhou Que, Fu Wei and Shen Jun's high-ranking ministers, although there are still problems and hidden dangers that need to be solved urgently, they are at least much better than the previous mess.
When the Yangzhou governor was provocative, he would not get into trouble.
Now Li Xingchen has helped Dong Palace create the best situation. With the abilities of Zhou Que, Shen Jungao and others, they will definitely not let this good situation go to waste.
The rest is up to them.
"The rain has stopped." Li Xingchen suddenly said without any clue.
And Xiao Shilian looked up subconsciously. He didn't know when the wind and rain shrouding the entire Jiankang Mansion had dissipated without a trace, leaving only the slightest chill still blowing in the wind, which made people shiver.
.
"Yes, the rain has stopped." Xiao Shilian said with a smile, "Shizhong, let's say goodbye and see you tomorrow morning!"
Li Xingchen nodded solemnly, knowing very well what Xiao Shilian meant.
When the storm subsides, a new drama is about to take place.
Li Xingchen cupped his hands at Xiao Shilian, turned around and walked towards the side courtyard where he lived. Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xingchen's back and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
After the wind and rain, the ground was in a mess, with tree branches and leaves scattered on the ground, and there was water in many low-lying places.
Li Xingchen did not go around the wind and rain corridor, but walked directly through the courtyard. When he reached the door of the side courtyard, he took a breath and carefully reached out to push open the courtyard door.
Seeing that there were no candles in the yard, Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Li Lian'er had already rested. However, before Li Xingchen walked up the steps, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and his sister, who originally thought she was sleeping, stretched out her hand.
He opened the door and walked out with a coat: "Brother, why are you back so late?"
While talking, Li Lian'er handed the coat to Li Xingchen. Looking at Li Xingchen's appearance, he couldn't help but said angrily: "It was so cold when it rained just now. Brother didn't wear much, so he didn't know how to come back and get one first.
clothing!"
Li Xingchen felt warm in his heart and raised his hand with a smile: "You see, your brother is so strong, how could he be afraid of such a little wind and rain?"
"Okay, okay," Li Lian'er said impatiently, and simply stretched out his hand to put on Li Xinchen's clothes, "I know you are awesome."
Li Xingchen spread his hands: "What time is it, Lian'er, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Aren't we waiting for you to come back?" Li Lian'er raised his head and looked at Li Xingchen, "Brother, is there going to be a war? Why did General Xiao come back in such a hurry? If I didn't ask this question clearly, how could I sleep tonight?
No less!”
After being startled for a moment, Li Xingchen had no intention of hiding anything from his sister, and there was no need to hide it: "Yes, we will go on an expedition tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The fighter planes are fleeting and there is no room for us to hesitate too much, otherwise General Xiao will not
So anxious."
"I am a daughter who doesn't understand the matter of war," Li Lian'er stretched out her hand to help Li Xingchen fasten the buttons, "but Lian'er still hopes that my brother can return safely and triumphantly."
Looking at his sister who said this with wide eyes, Li Xingchen felt hot in his heart, and immediately said seriously: "Don't worry Lian'er, brother, this is definitely the case!"
The wind blew gently, and the brother and sister stood in the wind, each of them with extremely solemn eyes.
