Xiao Shilian nodded anxiously at this time, obviously having the same opinion as Pei Zilie.
And Li Xingchen smiled and said: "Master, Boqing, the one your Majesty wants to summon is XX, so it must be XX who goes back. It won't help the two of you, but it may make your Majesty more suspicious of us.
How can we put down our hands at the same time and deal with the Zhou people together?"
Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian wanted to say more. They were not angry that Li Xingchen directly said that they were not good enough. With the tacit understanding and trust between the three of them, these words could be said directly, and there was nothing to hide.
In the final analysis, they are still worried about Li Xinchen's safety. They don't just go to the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
The reactions of the two of them were also expected by Li Xinchen. The three of them lived and died together many times. If Li Xinchen is the backbone of the entire group, Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian are now Li Xinchen's left and right arms that can support a sky in Bashu.
, everyone knows the importance of each other's existence, so no unnecessary accidents are allowed.
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and waved it, stopping the two people who wanted to say something else: "The matter is not as complicated as you think, and of course it is not simple. But at least now a certain person has begun to contact Mr. Xu, Sikong and others in the court. We must
The safety of North Korea and China must be ensured before we can set off."
Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows immediately, and Pei Zilie said decisively: "His Majesty has a surly temperament, and he will never change his mind just because of the persuasion of Xiaomu Gong or Sikong. Shizhong, you still have to bear too many risks in doing so.
Yes, when the time comes, even if there are soldiers and horses guarding the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den, we can't just walk away!"
"What the great scholar said is absolutely true!" Xiao Shilian responded hastily.
Li Xingchen glared at him, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "After all, you are so-and-so's brother-in-law, how come you are now the yes-man of the great scholar?"
Xiao Shilian snorted and said: "I'm afraid you don't know, but my little sister Xiao Qing was betrothed to Brother Da Shi as his wife the day before yesterday. Brother Da Shi is now considered to be someone's brother-in-law. The two of us stand together and remain consistent.
What's wrong?"
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know this. Pei Zilie pulled Xiao Shilian and said with a smile: "I was in such a hurry to set off that I didn't even have time to tell Shizhong about it. Don't be offended by Shizhong."
Li Xingchen reached out and patted Pei Zilie on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Brother Da Shi."
In fact, Li Xingchen expected Pei Zilie to marry Xiao Mohe's daughter. Originally, the Li family and the Xiao family had already established contact through the marriage of Li Lian'er and Xiao Shilian. Now it is Pei Zilie and the two of them in the iron triangle.
The kinship relationship is the most distant, so it is reasonable to establish a marriage between the Pei family and the Xiao family in this way.
After all, the Pei family has no daughter to betroth to Li Xinchen - Li Xinchen's first wife is already Princess Lechang. Naturally, no one would be stupid enough to give Li Xinchen a concubine at this time. This is obviously to go against the court -
And Li Xingchen has no sisters who can marry Pei Zilie.
Therefore, it is a good choice for Pei Zilie to tie himself to Xiao Shilian in this way.
And Xiao Shilian winked and said: "You don't know, Shizhong, this guy has been thinking about my little sister since he met him a few times. Now he has finally made a name for himself and asked dad to marry him, and dad didn't refuse."
Li Xingchen smiled slightly, while Pei Zilie's face turned red. Although he had married two concubines, he never had a real wife. He didn't need to think about it to know that he had a sweetheart in his heart, but he didn't expect that such a coincidence would happen to be Xiao Shilian's sister.
Pei Zilie was originally the kind of steady and mature person, but when Xiao Shilian said this, he hesitated and didn't know what to say.
As for Li Xingchen's concern, in fact, it is more that Xiao Mohe agreed so readily. Now when the world situation is at its most turbulent, marriages between these aristocratic families cannot be concluded easily.
Of course, Li Xingchen would not naively think that Xiao Mohe directly agreed to the marriage because Pei Zilie and Xiao Qing were in love.
These two people have never met each other a few times, so how can they talk about "love each other".
Although Xiao Mohe is a straightforward person, he will definitely not ignore everything. After all, Xiao Mohe is also the hussar general of Nanchen, so of course he cannot act on his own initiative.
This shows that Xiao Mohe is still optimistic about Li Xinchen at least now. Now the world situation is unpredictable. Xiao Mohe obviously wants to have a good relationship with Li Xinchen and then wait and see what happens. Otherwise, he will not establish a relationship with Li Xinchen's most important general.
In-law relationship.
In this way, Li Xingchen was naturally more confident. Thinking of this, Li Xingchen even felt a little sad for Chen Xu. Now Chen Xu's Xu Ling and Xiao Mohe have begun to hook up with Li Xingchen. Although Wu Mingche's attitude is not
Mingming, but this time he stood on Xu Ling's side and spoke up, naturally it was not just for the so-called justice.
In this troubled world, truth and justice are worthless. These old foxes are now so actively approaching Li Xinchen. Of course, they cannot be doing charity, but Li Xinchen also knows that their appetite is not too big.
At least Li Xinchen was able to satisfy them when he dominated the world, so he might as well accept more help from them now, at least it would be better than Li Xinchen rushing in recklessly alone.
With a slight cough, Pei Zilie directly broke the embarrassing situation: "Shizhong, I and Boqing must be unable to stop you. How many troops and horses do you want to bring to the capital, and we stay in Bashu?"
What should you pay attention to? The main reason I came here today is to discuss these things with you. The two of us cannot watch you walk away in a carefree manner."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. He could also see that what Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian said before were actually more angry words. Fortunately, the original atmosphere full of gunpowder was accidentally disturbed by Xiao Shilian. Now Pei Zilie has no confidence to continue to talk to each other.
Li Xunchen argued. Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "Of course, the more soldiers and horses, the better. I didn't tell the court about the specific number before. For the court, it can naturally be lowered, and we can also raise it."
"I think the bottom line of the imperial court should be one thousand." Pei Zilie had obviously considered this issue before and said straightforwardly, "But with only one thousand troops, it is really too dangerous..."
"One thousand is enough." Li Xingchen directly interrupted Pei Zilie, "Jiankang Mansion is not big or small, and it is difficult to deploy if there are too many soldiers and horses. What's more, there are actually not many forbidden troops around Jiankang Mansion.
, In addition, if something happens, protecting the palace must be the primary purpose, so as long as the city gate can be controlled, a thousand soldiers and horses are enough to protect someone's free entry and exit, not to mention the navy..."
