Chapter six hundred and seventy fifth rare leisure
Therefore, Li Xingchen directly asked people to open the middle wall first, so that several mansions were connected into one, and the extra ones could be used as guest rooms in the future.
Now that Li Xingchen had finished bathing, he casually put his hair down and walked slowly into the waterside pavilion. The evening breeze was blowing his clothes, and fruits were already placed on the table. The servants who served him also knew that Li Xingchen didn't like incense, so
Removed the incense.
Xu Deyan, Gu Yewang and others have already taken their seats in the waterside pavilion, looking at the garden outside and discussing something.
These days of wandering around on the boat and the exhaustion of traveling and traveling, now we finally have a chance to rest and take a breath. Both civil servants and generals feel relaxed.
But what makes Li Xingchen feel uncomfortable is that after washing off all the dust, he finally sits down to face a group of big men. This feeling is really not good...
Gu Yewang and others obviously didn't notice Li Xinchen's stinky expression, and they all stood up, smiled, and saluted with their hands in hand. Li Xinchen also returned the salute and sat down.
"General Xiao agreed to the general's request, and we have more confidence to go to Jiankang Mansion." King Gu Ye said with a smile, "Congratulations to the general!"
As he spoke, King Gu Ye picked up his wine glass, and several others also agreed.
Li Xingchen drank the wine glass in one gulp and said immediately: "But it seems that Zhou Que is still somewhat hostile to us..."
King Gu Ye considered it and said: "This is also reasonable. As Bashu is rising day by day, we will definitely be the enemy of the East Palace in the future. I am afraid that Shen Jungao and Fu Wei will not be much better to us. They can feel this threat.
Yes, even if the relationship with us is mainly cooperative now, if anything goes wrong in the future, we will definitely fall out."
Li Xingchen sighed softly. Chen Shubao was definitely not a wise monarch, so it was impossible for Li Xingchen to follow him. Therefore, since he had chosen this path, it was reasonable for old friends to meet each other with swords and swords.
Xu Deyan then said in a deep voice: "In this case, when we go to Jiankang Mansion this time, we must be careful about Donggong. If Donggong goes against us on some things, it will not be so easy to implement them."
King Gu Ye also nodded in agreement. As a member of the court, he knew very well that the East Palace had grown rapidly because there were no external enemies and Chen Xu turned a blind eye. If the East Palace wanted to attack Li Xingchen,
If you express dissatisfaction with your opinion, it is likely to affect Chen Xu's judgment.
Although everyone's interests in dealing with the Northern Zhou Dynasty are consistent now, they can all see the threats to each other in the future. Li Xingchen believes that both Shen Jungao and Fu Yi know what they should do now, but it does not mean that they will not
Will cause stumbling blocks without affecting the overall situation.
It is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. After all, Jiankang Mansion is not a Shu county under Li Xinchen's control, so Li Xinchen cannot foresee what may go wrong, and even once the incident occurs, it may not be within Li Xinchen's control.
In addition, for the children of Xu Deyan and other aristocratic families, of course they do not want to see Li Xinchen get too close to Donggong. In this way, the families they have taken refuge in will naturally lose their original status and importance, so they help Li Xinchen maintain this kind of relationship with Donggong.
Mutual utilization rather than mutual trust is what Xu Deyan should do.
Li Xingchen looked at the calm water surface of the pond outside: "If we go to Jiankang Mansion, I'm afraid there will never be such a calm day again."
Xu Deyan, Gu Yewang and others looked at each other and their expressions became solemn.
This is probably their last leisure time for a long time to come.

The rain is pouring down in Hanzhong.
The wind blowing from the valley was very strong, blowing all the fine rain into the corridor. The so-called wind and rain corridor was of little use at this time. Therefore, after the people wearing bamboo hats and raincoats rushed into the corridor
, did not take it off in a hurry, but walked quickly to the hall.
Several attendants were already waiting there. The man handed the bamboo hat and coir raincoat to the attendants and climbed up the steps in three steps at a time.
The window of the study room is half-closed, so that you can hear the sound of rain and see the hazy scenery outside, without having your clothes stained by the rain blown in by the wind. A middle-aged man in white is leaning against the window, with his hands in his hands.
He was holding a book and had an incense burner in front of him. He looked lazy and relaxed.
Seeing this person's appearance, the man who walked in couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Brother Yang, it's already such a mess outside, but it's a good thing you still have time to read here!"
"The world is in chaos, and you should govern it yourself. But how can you know how to govern the world if you don't study?" The middle-aged man said calmly, put the book on the table, and looked at the people who came in, dissatisfied.
Said, "Liren, you said you took off your coir raincoat and bamboo hat, why did you get water all over the floor? If it happens again next time, you won't be allowed to enter the house!"
"This is my study. It's okay for you to occupy this place and never leave. You still don't want me to come in. It's unreasonable!" The man waved his sleeves dissatisfiedly to make the water on his sleeves wet.
Most of them fell to the ground. At the same time, he raised his eyebrows at the middle-aged man provocatively, "Yang Chudao, sitting tight on Diaoyutai is not your style."
Sitting there holding a book was Yang Su, who was heading north from Shu County to return to Guanzhong. However, Yang Su seemed to be in no hurry after arriving in Hanzhong. He had already been delayed in Hanzhong for two days. When he heard what his companions said, he was not in a hurry.
Not angry, just smiling.
The man standing in front of him is Niu Hong, a man from Anping, whose name is Liren. He is now a Weilie general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He is a member of the Sanqi Chang family and is ordered to guard Hanzhong and support the north and south of Ji. Although now the territory in the south of Hanzhong has been lost.
Eight years old. Historically, Niu Hong was an official in the Sui Dynasty, and he still has an ancestral hall in Lingtai, his hometown. He can be regarded as a great talent at the turn of the troubled times.
When Yang Su was young, he met Niu Hong, who came to Chang'an to study. The two had similar interests and soon became good friends who talked about everything.
The Anding Niu family is not a famous family at home and abroad, but Niu Hong's talents and studious attitude have still won the respect of the Hongnong Yang family, and they have always treated them as guests. Therefore, some people jokingly call Niu Hong not Hongnong.
The Yang family is better than the Hongnong Yang family.
When Yang Su was still in Shu County, he had contacted Niu Hong, the mighty general who guarded Hanzhong. This time after returning to Hanzhong, he naturally occupied Niu Hong's study, which made Niu Hong a little helpless.
I remember when we were studying together, this guy worked early and late, not to mention how diligent he was. Why has he fallen into this state now? Of course, this was just a joke in Niu Hong's mind. As Yang Su's best friend, of course he knew what Yang Su wanted to do.
, it is even clearer that Yang Su cannot just read quietly here.
