An iron-clad family and a flowing dynasty are perhaps the most vivid summary of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Therefore, it is reasonable for Tang Yishun to change his identity and position for the benefit of his family.
"Prefect, let's..." Huang Zhanzhu said bitterly. Of course, he also thought of the truth that Tang Yishun thought of.
"Let's go, let's go see this Li Xingchen now." Tang Yishun calmed down and said calmly, and walked out of the city under the gaze of Nan Chen's soldiers. Commander Huang stamped his feet and could only follow quickly.
, while unable to help but murmur:
"I also want to see if this Li Xingchen has three heads and six arms!"
————————————
"Sneeze!" Li Xingchen sneezed and sniffed.
The strong wind from the river stirred his sleeves.
"General, put on another piece of clothing. The wind in the river is too cold, so don't freeze." Li Ping said worriedly.
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "It doesn't matter."
He was not so weak that he couldn't bear the cold as soon as he stepped onto the pier. Someone must be saying bad things about him behind his back. However, Li Xingchen immediately laughed at himself. He has not yet reached the level of a prince or general.
There must be quite a few people cursing him behind his back.
While thinking about it, Li Xingchen looked forward and saw eye-catching boat silhouettes appearing between the water and the sky.
In an instant, Li Xingchen's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
And when Xiao Zijiangqi came into view, Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh: "This kid Xiao Shilian is finally here!"
The first one, Mengchong, had just docked, and the pedal hurriedly boarded the pier. A very familiar figure of Li Xingchen appeared in front of his eyes.
"Shizhong!" Xiao Shilian laughed loudly and rushed forward and gave Li Xinchen a bear hug, "Brother, I miss you so much!"
Listening to Xiao Shilian's incoherent address, Li Xingchen could only roll his eyes.
In fact, the two of them hadn't seen each other for only four or five days. This guy looked like he hadn't seen each other for one day, as if he hadn't seen each other for three years.
Of course, Li Xingchen also knew that another reason why Xiao Shilian was so excited was that his marriage to Li Lian'er was finally settled. Therefore, Li Xingchen was not only Xiao Shilian's life-and-death brother, but also a real relative and his quasi-brother-in-law.
"You are really a good brother of someone," Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and punched Li Xinchen, "Let the prince and His Highness Lechang work together as matchmakers. Do you know that the entire Jiangling City was frightened by this lineup? Even my father was shocked that day.
Smiling, Beier has face!"
Li Xingchen has been communicating with express boats between Baidicheng and Jiangling. The main channel of the river is a channel that has been fully developed and utilized. Of course, sailing on the river is fast. Even if it is not possible to "return a thousand miles to Jiangling in one day", the two news
There was no pressure to reach it within the day, so Li Xingchen had already learned the news from Jiangling City.
The day after Li Xingchen and the others set off, Chen Shubao and Princess Lechang visited Xiao Maha together. Then the Xiao family made a high-profile announcement to invite the two highnesses to act as matchmakers to marry Li Lian'er, a girl from the Li family. The gilded engagement letter was probably
It will be delivered to the desk of his brother Li Xingchen in two days.
Such a noble matchmaker is still rare in the Nanchen Dynasty, not to mention that it is not in Jiankang Mansion in Jiangling, so it is natural to cause a sensation. Many civil and military officials under the East Palace faction sent congratulations as quickly as possible.
Regarding this, Li Xingchen could only say that Lechang's work efficiency was very high, and by the way, he lamented that the prince Chen Shubao really had nothing to do.
With Chen Shubao coming forward, there will definitely be no problem with the marriage. No matter how incompatible the two parties are, their identities will become insignificant after joining Chen Shubao as a matchmaker. After all, no matter who has more or less power, Chen Shubao's dignity as the crown prince is unshakable at least in Nanchen.
of.
What's more, how can the sister of General Dang Kou not be worthy of the son of General Hussar? Xiao Mohe and Li Xingchen are a generation apart, so it is impossible to talk about the size of this official position. In terms of the official positions of this generation, Xiao Shilian
Like Li Xingchen, no one takes advantage.
And if we talk about family background, the two families can be considered friends for half a generation, and neither of them is a wealthy family, so of course they are well matched.
So this marriage is a matter of course.
Of course, Chen Shubao came forward in person, which certainly gave Xiao Mohe more face. It would be strange to be unhappy.
"In this way, we are really just grasshoppers on the same line. If someone can't move, you can't even think about running away." Li Xingchen joked.
Xiao Shilian chuckled: "Excuse me, don't scare me with this. You, Li Shizhong, are the one who hides his secrets and steals His Highness Lechang's heart quietly. Who would dare to become the emperor's consort one day?"
Do you want to try moving me?"
"Ahem, it's windy here, let's go to the city first." Li Xingchen knew that this kid was crazy with joy and couldn't control anything, so he tugged on his sleeve.
Xiao Shilian also came to his senses at this time. Although his words were meant to make fun of Li Xingchen, they were brought to the attention of the royal family. If someone with a heart heard about it, he would have to go around in pain, and even Li Xingchen and the Xiao family would be implicated.
Seeing Xiao Shilian shut his mouth knowingly, Li Xinchen breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace. It is better not to make his relationship with Lechang too public now. After all, Li Xinchen has his own path now and can move forward steadily, so it is not for the time being.
There is no need to rely on Lechang's reputation - in fact, as long as he is not in Nanchen and has a clear understanding of the royal family's situation, this reputation will not come out much.
Li Xingchen didn't want to steal the chicken but lose the rice, and end up having extraneous consequences.
"Shizhong, I heard that Wanchuan County has been captured?" Xiao Shilian rubbed his hands and asked expectantly. Since we were not talking about women, the topic naturally turned to the war.
Li Xingchen climbed up the steps and said calmly: "To be more precise, it's not just Wanchuan County, but also Nanfang County. I received news more than an hour ago that Chen Zhishen has captured Nanfang County.
We are working hard to transfer the grain and grass stored in the southern county. It is estimated that you will be able to see the navy's grain ship from the dock at this time tomorrow."
"Chen Zhishen runs very fast!" Xiao Shilian said dissatisfied. He originally did not expect Li Xingchen to wait for him to lead the large army to arrive slowly before launching the next stage of the attack, but he did not expect that the war would be going on when he arrived.
It was about to end, "I don't know if there is any left for me."
After a slight pause in his steps, Li Xingchen said with a smile: "No need to worry. After Nanfang County and Wanchuan County are both owned by a certain person, Linjiang County will be unable to support itself. It will definitely be taken over in a blink of an eye. But this is just the beginning."
"What do you mean..." Xiao Shilian thought of something and his eyes lit up.
Reaching out and patting Xiao Shilian's shoulder, Li Xingchen's smile faded: "Soldiers are very fast. We must seize Bajun quickly before we can really establish a foothold in Bashu."
