The three heads of Huangnan County moved into the General's Mansion of Lingzhou, and they were not far apart. Apart from their respective confidants, they did not bring any idle people to this brand-new official residence. His Royal Highness asked them to rest for a night, which made Wang Xihua feel nervous at that time. This was clearly intentional to give the three families enough time to vent their first. Wang Gongcao, Lingsu, Wang Zhenlu and Zijin Wang Luting were both at dawn, and they rushed from their families to Lingzhou Prefecture City. In addition to a sloppy lunch in the middle, they had a rough exchange. While they promised to take care of each other, they were inevitably wary of each other, and it was difficult to completely advance and retreat together. The trends involved in such a large family were ups and downs. No matter how harmonious the personal relationships in the past were, they had to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Wang Xihua, who was praised by Yao Baifeng as "three governors", had no sumptuous dinner. He did not rush to agree to Wang Zhenlu's appointment, but went out for a walk alone. Not long after going out, he saw the young man Wang Luting who was also wandering leisurely. Wang Xihua felt a little touched. So calm and the young man was so awesome. The two nodded and smiled and passed by. Wang Xihua walked slowly along a corridor beside the water, and the flowing water led to Jinou Lake. In Lingzhou City, there was no ability to lure the lake water into his courtyard house.

There are several, and the next door's strategy mansion is of course the first one. Wang Xihua's mind moved and turned into a path close to the base of the wall. Through the wall hole, you can see the scene inside the wall of the neighbor Li's mansion. Wang Xihua suddenly stopped. As soon as there was a familiar official on the other side of the wall, he was also approaching. After looking at each other, Wang Xihua, who was always behind his hands, smiled and said, "Mr. Li, is he so leisurely and elegant? I heard that Lord Li found a son-in-law who has outstanding knowledge and knowledge, character and life experience. Congratulations."

He only called Li Gongde Li, but did not call himself a subordinate or a humble position, which shows the noble and arrogant nature of Wang Xihua, Gongcai of Huangnan County.

Li Gongde patted the cuffs and replied with a smile: "I don't have to rely on my son-in-law to support me. At least I have a son who is quite promising to earn military merits on the border without adding water. Wang Gongcao, you have to be more at ease."

Wang Xihua nodded and said, "There are so great men on the border. Mr. Li is both in love on the battlefield, so it is naturally enviable. My dog ​​boy is incompetent and can only hook up with brothel women, so he will not have this blessing."

Li Hanlin, a young man from the Northern Liang Dynasty, used to be both men and women. Almost every time he traveled, he had a handsome young man with beautiful eyes and eyes intimately accompanied him. Although the prodigal son turned around and no one doubted the authenticity of the war achievements of the crossbowman, Li Er Shao finally committed too many outrageous crimes. He was sarcastic by Wang Xihua tonight. He was helpless in paying off his son's debt to his father. Li Gongde did not refute, bent down, and Wang Xihua was wondering why the master of the strategy was like this time.

This surrender and admit defeat. I never thought that when Li Gongde stood up, he threw a handful of soil over and hit Wang Xihua's face. It hurts if it hurts. However, Wang Gongcao, who has always been regarded as the leader of Sven in Lingzhou, had never suffered such humiliation. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while and was stunned on the spot. Li Gongde laughed and said, "Wang Xihua is the best at pretending. I have wanted to beat you for a long time. There are no outsiders today, and you and me are only two enemies... Prince, why are you here?"

Wang Xihua subconsciously turned his head when he heard the sound, but there was no one around. Where did the prince come from? He turned his head again and was poured onto his face by Li Gongde's handful of mud. Wang Xihua was furious and stretched out his finger and cursed: "Li Gongde, the three immortals of the three great officials on the battlefield. As a great official on the battlefield, ask yourself, can there be any one of them?! You really defame the word merit! You are a man who is cautious and fierce, and really think you can die in your sleep?"

Li Gongdeman accidentally rubbed his nose, then pointed to the top of his head, saying disdain: "Others respectfully call you Wang Xihua "Wang San Governors". Isn't the three governors the size of the official hat on my head? Don't you talk to me, just say who is the official today, and who made you unable to move forward all these years and be a county Gongcao the size of sesame and mung bean?"

Wang Xihua sneered: "Telling you about the passing of the torch, and telling you about the seeds of reading is simply playing the piano against a cow!"

Li Gongde chuckled in a low voice: "We are talking to each other, and we are still a good guy in the end, so don't laugh at anyone. Only when you become the second Yao Baifeng one day can you be qualified to tell me about learning and doing things."

Wang Xihua was furious and said, "Li Gongde, who is with you all the way?!"

Li Gongde raised his hand, and Wang Xihua, who had suffered two losses, immediately flashed and found that the strategy made the adults' hands completely empty. Li Gongde said that playing with you, Wang Xihua is not as simple as playing with monkeys, and left. Logically speaking, this battle of contact between old enemies without warning, Li Gongde, who returned from a great victory, should have been proud, but Li Gongde, who was proud of the spring in the northern Liang Dynasty, did not expect the joy of his face, but his face was as deep as water and thick as haze. Wang Xihua's face was gloomy at first, but just waited for Li Gongde's back to leave, Wang Gongcao's mouth quietly raised, and there was no trace of anger and anger, and he said softly: "Li Chai, Li Chai, see how long you will be rampant."

———

Xu Fengnian received the second secret letter today, an old "turtle" from Lingzhou. Even Xu Fengnian did not expect that it would be a fourth-level genius who entered the General Mansion of Lingzhou. It turned out that before everyone gathered at the door, Lingzhou peregrine falcons had obtained the background of most characters, some sketchy and some details, but the drunkard who emerged from nowhere was missing. Perhaps a foreign spy also felt that entering the mansion was too swaying, and it was too much of a dead end. No one in the secret letter was suspected of a spy, and most of them were people with criminal records in the government. This is not surprising. Walking in the martial arts world, if you want to not chop people or not be chopped up, you will become famous in one fell swoop. Xu Fengnian carefully read the secret letter in the study. The turtle nicknamed "Hell Knife" knelt on the cold floor without moving at all. Xu Fengnian put down the secret letter,

Close your eyes, remain silent for a long time, and then open your eyes and said to the person: "The drunkard doesn't need to be anxious, but let Chu Lushan check the fourth-grade Liu Bozong immediately, especially Sun Chun, who is the third-grade strength. Their backgrounds are too innocent and careful. From birth to martial arts to becoming famous, they seem to have traces to follow, and they are clear at a glance, but the more they are like this, the more people are worried. Among these two, Sun Chun looks old, but in fact, he is only twenty-nine years old, and Liu Bozong is thirty-two years old, just the youngest. Although this prince is not a spy, he knows that as long as he is willing to spend his energy, he will be able to get his identity before he is fifteen years old, and then carefully cultivate it for more than ten years, and he can almost be at all without any clues. Even this prince suspects that their family has problems. Please do more thoughts."

The man was frightened and sweating profusely, and said respectfully: "Protecting Your Highness's safety is an important matter such as the peregrine falcon, and it will never be troublesome."

The man undoubtedly respected the special identity of this young general of Lingzhou, but he was even more afraid that he could call himself the name of the boss behind the scenes of the Eagle Falcon. The fearsomeness of Chu Lushan was all heard of by rumors. Not as a Eagle Falcon, he would not understand the terrifying ability of Chu Eagle Falcon at all.

Xu Fengnian walked around the desk and walked to the man, bent down to support him and stood up, chuckling softly: "There are many civil servants and military generals in Beiliang, and compared with you, there are also a hundred fewer people. If you are missing, Beiliang will be even more uneasy. Please send me a message to Chu Lushan. This year, let him give all the peregrine falcons more reward silver. If he doesn't give this money, he can take it out from Qingliang Mountain. If anyone wants something like secret books, he can also boldly put it up and try to satisfy the prince's house. In my opinion, there is nothing in the world that is more valuable than life. Since you have all pawned your life to the Xu family, then the Xu family will never have any reason to treat you badly."

After the man stood up, his eyes turned red. He hesitated for a moment, scratched his head, and was a little shy. He said bravely: "The youngest is from Jinzhou, and he is only 300 miles away from the General and His Highness's hometown. However, the youngest left Liaodong six or seven years later than the General. He had been in another ranks. Later, he made a mistake and had no way to follow the General. He has been working with General Chu for so many years, and has no contribution. He is all hard work that anyone can do. He married a wife a few years ago and gave birth to a few little girls. At the beginning of this year, he finally had a boy with a handle. The youngest family is not short of money, so he wanted to ask Your Highness to give my boy a name when he is free. If Your Highness is too busy, he will pretend that the young man has never said this."

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "There are many things that require naming. If you don't choose well, it will affect your future fortune. I believe this very much and I don't dare to name your son."

The man had no hope, so he couldn't say he was disappointed. Xu Fengnian suddenly smiled and said, "But Xu Xiao doesn't believe this. I'll go back to Liangzhou and ask Xu Xiao to give your son a name. If it doesn't get it well, or it's very ugly, you can use it as a nickname."

The man was about to kneel down again, Xu Fengnian grabbed his arm and said helplessly: "Okay, even if you kneel a few more times, I can't ask for more names for your son. Besides, your son doesn't need it. The name is not money. Asking for one more is better."

The man smiled embarrassedly, no longer regained his shrewdness and caution, and had a sincere and honest expression.

"After leaving, I passed the news to Xu Beizhi of Longqing County and asked him to come to the General's Mansion."

After saying that, Xu Fengnian walked near the window, and the man full of joy no longer disturbed the prince's thoughts and silently left the study. Xu Fengnian stared at the pot of phoenix flowers brought by Huyan Guanyin to "cut the love" and traveled thousands of miles.

The strength of Li Yang lies in the unification of the Central Plains. As the old teacher Sun Xiji, as the head of a civil official, led a large group of Western Chu elders to surrender to Li Yang, the dispute over orthodox in the world was completely settled. As long as the court is willing to use talents, it is almost inexhaustible. These talents each have their own expertise. Some are dedicated to moral articles and make words, some are pragmatic and dedicated to their work, and there are also many people doing dirty work. If Li Yang is a fertile land of tens of millions of acres of fertile land and are qualified to go to the shop to bully customers, then Bei Liang is changing tricks on one acre of three parts of the land. Master Li Yi

It is really a good cook who has been a cook without rice for so many years. Xu Fengnian used to joke in private that no matter whether he was Xu Xiao or two sisters, he said that even if he could be an emperor, he would not be beaten to death. Because he knew early on that time that it was so difficult for him to do the government. But he really thought that he had started to make arrangements with his own hands, and felt that even if he was the prince of Beiliang, if he wanted to do things, he would still be in a cage of cages. If he had any moves, he would hit a wall. This cage was something that people from all dynasties worked hard to build, referred to as "rules".

Xu Fengnian returned to the book and wrote the loosely structured three words "Only Report the Body", and then added a radical next to the word "Shi" to complete the weaving. Put down the pen, Xu Fengnian shrank his hand in his sleeve, walked out of the study room, and walked aimlessly through the corridor. In a small pavilion by the water, he ran into Wang Luting, who was jumping and jumping in the pavilion for warmth. This guy, with Li Hanlin and Wang Yunshu, and a young man who was a tragic son in Emei County, was called the Four Hegemons of Lingzhou. Not to mention Wang Xihua, who could not be despised by anyone, but compared to the lifeless head of the Lingsu Wang family, Wang Zhenlu, Xu Fengnian was undoubtedly more interested in Wang Luting, the new owner of the purple gold Wang family. Because of hereditary inheritance, Beiliang is now in an inevitable turbulent era. Once the emperor and the ministers, the ending has come to an end.

, the ones who should have reached the throne have not yet taken over, and many families are following the trend, but time is different. Zhong Hongwu, who is a high-ranking school, let his only son Zhong Chengxin go from the civil service to change. Wang Xihua, who is a famous scholar, asked Wang Yunshu to go to the military general, and also seek change. However, most of these, after all, they have a good father, and they do twice the result with half the effort. Xu Fengnian only knew that the Zijin Wang family had been without great talent for several generations. Originally, he thought that Wang Luting would still be in a down-and-out life, but he never thought that this time he would have the courage to come to the general's mansion. If he returns without success, the first target to be dealt with by the manager will definitely not be the two families of Wang Xihua and Wang Zhenlu, but the Zijin Wang family with unstable foundations. It can be imagined that the young man Wang Luting was under a lot of pressure.

Seeing His Royal Highness approaching, Wang Luting just turned his head and smiled, and continued to jump.

Xu Fengnian stood beside Wang Luting, who joked: "Knowing that Your Highness is a cheerful person, Luting said frankly. This time he came here with the two elders, asking for rewards from Your Highness. It's really a waste of time. If you don't get a job with a half-office and return to Huangnan County, you will be poked by those old men. If your Highness is good, you will be considered a pitiful Wang Luting?"

Xu Fengnian looked at the narrow Qushui, which was only slightly rippled within the "rules", and said calmly: "Let's talk about what official you want first. It's too big, I can't afford it. It's too small, and I can't take it. If I fool you, Zijin Wang, I will be drowned by those old guys behind it."

Wang Luting smiled heartily and said, "It's not big, Beiliang Road weaving, just like this. The two weaving bureaus on Jiangnan Road are the fourth-rank fat. The chief official of our Jinlu Weaving Bureau in Beiliang is only the fifth-rank. Anyway, the old weaving bureau has been working for twelve years and should have retired long ago."

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "The fifth grade is not small."

Wang Luting was indeed very thick-skinned. He stopped jumping around, held the fog in his hands, turned his head and stared at His Highness with a smile, "Luting knew that it was difficult to get an official, so he had the plan to buy an official with His Highness. The Zijin Wang family was willing to take out 180,000 taels of silver, all of which were cash. If it was not enough, the family still had some rare antiques and rubbings of calligraphy and paintings, which could be converted into silver. As long as His Highness was more abundant, he could barely make up another 100,000 taels. There was no way, and he could not compare to the other three kings of Huangnan County, and our Zijin Wang family was poor."

Xu Fengnian sat on the bench and pressed his hands under Wang Luting. The two sat opposite each other with the pillars. Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I can sell you a gold thread to weave for 180,000 taels of silver, but there is an additional condition."

Wang Luting smiled and said, "Your Highness, my sister is indeed famous and virtuous, but she is so handsome and has a matchmaker. You must not make this idea."

Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, laughing and crying, and smiled and said, "Don't be sloppy and serious with this prince. I know that you have a friend who comes from a poor family and works as a tutor in the Zijin Wang family. Yao Baifeng, a master of Neo-Confucianism, said that as long as this person is willing to get fame, he must be the Jieyuan of Lingzhou, and the Huiyuan of the two eight states in the northwest, and even wins the top scorer. It is possible that he can even win three yuan. This year, Lu Yuyuan of Huangnan County, who was awarded the same Jinshi, was born in the palace examination this year. It seems that he is benefiting from your friend's art-making skills. Otherwise, he will only pass the children's examination in the township exam. Not to mention the palace examination, even the imperial examination is a luxury. If you can tell this person out, I will let you weave it as a gold thread. If you can't speak, then you will honestly return to the Zijin Wang family."

Wang Luting laughed loudly.

Xu Fengnian was indifferent.

Wang Luting stopped laughing and said treacherously: "Please rest assured that this guy has been forcibly kidnapped into the city by me. I'll call him to him?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "No need to see him. Tell him, come to Lingzhou Prefecture City after the New Year. This prince has an official hat for him for free."

Wang Luting sighed and said with emotion: "It's so annoying that people are more popular. I have to spend all my money and buy an official position. This kid is better."

Xu Fengnian suddenly said: "You are neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son. It is not easy to become the head of the Zijin Wang family."

Wang Luting put away his cynical expression, but did not deliberately sit upright, but said softly: "It's much easier than Your Highness."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Before he became a prestigious person, he started to flatter and flatter?"

Wang Luting smiled again, "Familiarity first. Since you have to rely on others, how can you not look at others' expressions? In the future, your highness will give Wang Luting more opportunities to flatter you."

Xu Fengnian joked: "Then you have to learn from Chu Lushan first."

Wang Luting wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Fengnian knew that he was a smart person, so he said straightforwardly: "I know what you are thinking. Indeed, Chu Lushan's flattery, whether it is this prince or an outsider, has always been very fucked and disgusting when he saw and heard with his own eyes. But there is one thing that many people can't see. Chu Lushan only treats one person like this. This is called "a continuation, so he and the governor Li..."

Speaking of this, Xu Fengnian paused for a moment, stopped talking, stood up and left straight.

Wang Luting, who seemed relaxed and leisurely, had actually been secretly tightening his bowstrings in secret, did not think deeply about the last strange words. Anyway, he got everything he wanted for this trip and was beyond his reach. While feeling relieved, he couldn't help but feel excited. But when he realized it, he felt a little cold all over his body. Could it be that the adjacent mansion, with the change of heaven and earth in Beiliang, would the owner of the house change his name and surname?
