Due to the loss of Tongguan, Fenglingdu also sent a lot of additional garrison troops, and Lian Xixian was detained in the garrison camp.

The wound on his head had not healed yet, and blood flowed through the tips of his eyebrows from time to time.

But he had figured out the causes and consequences.

It was Li Xia who asked him to write the letter to Shang Ting, not to Shang Ting, but to the Zhang family girl. Later, the Zhang family girl cooperated with Li Xia and pointed him backwards to recognize that Lian Xixian was the treason.

"It's so simple... You can cross the Yellow River and kill you a few things in one fell swoop..."

What Lian Xixian is worried about is not his personal fortune and life.

Instead, while Li Xia took over the Zhang family, he was afraid that he would also have to put a spy in Shanxi to explore the deployment of troops on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Because Li Xia took down Guanzhong, the first thing he had to do was to defend the eastern part of Guanzhong. In addition to Tongguan, another line of defense was the Yellow River from Luliang Mountain to Fengling Cross.

After Lian Xixian moved the troops in Guanzhong, part of them was arranged by this section of the Yellow River, waiting for the time to ripe and counterattack Guanzhong.

Once Li Xia discovered these ships and troops, he could calmly deploy defenses on the Yellow River... This is the key to the next situation in Guanzhong.

...

Finally, someone walked out of the prison.

Uncle Yi looked into the cell and pretended to be surprised at the first time.

"Mr. Lian was beaten? This is definitely not what I mean..."

"Yi Jieshuai thinks I'm treason?" Lian Xixian calmed down his emotions, maintained a calm tone, and said, "I can explain everything."

"Mr. Lian and I have no use to explain it to me." Uncle Yi raised his hand, "I am just a small magistrate, I don't know anything. Mr. Lian and Xingtai can explain it."

He used to like to be the majesty of a military governor, but today, he would say "Little Prefecture" if he could, and he could also say that he was "the servant of Beji Mansion".

"I'm not trying to prove my innocence, but Li Xia is in Jiezhou. If the coach of Yijie refused to make arrangements early, then..."

"Mr. Lian."

Yi Shuan interrupted Lian Xixian again.

He had some contempt in his eyes, and Yun Danfeng smiled lightly and said, "Not talking about Li Xia, it is impossible for him to come... Don't worry, just act like I believe in Lian Gong. Lian Gong will really lead Li Xia to the north bank of the Yellow River. So what? I have no right to prove whether Lian Gong surrendered to the enemy, whether he is innocent, nor do I have no right to decide to attack Guanzhong."

"As long as you kill Li Xia, it will be a great contribution..."

Yi Shuan was even more contemptuous and said leisurely: "It seems that Mr. Lian still doesn't understand why he has fallen to this point today. You always feel that you are doing the right thing, killing Mongolian people, dispatching troops, and commanding generals, but you forgot the rules. If you succeed, you are a great achievement, you are defeated, and you are a great sin, so you surrendered to Li Xia... I am not you, I am not so arrogant, and I have not forgotten how much power your Majesty gives me and what to do."

Lian Xixian shook his head, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes, and asked, "Did I surrender to Li Xia, or did you surrender to Li Xia?"

"The good words are unpleasant, but Mr. Lian refused to reflect?" Yi Shuan shook his head, "What you and I should do as ministers are the only words "What you and I should do."

"Are you the only thing you have to confiscate the five silks every year to Beji Mansion?!"

"good."

Uncle Yi'an's tone was naturally not ashamed of, only glory.

He pointed at Lian Xixian and then at himself.

"Mr. Lian is less than 30 years old and is now a prisoner. Although I am a small official, I am still standing outside the prison gate in Jiezhou. What can I argue about right and wrong?"

Facing Yi Shuan's serious and arrogant expression, Lian Xixian laughed.

He took a step back and asked, "It seems that everything I did sacrifice my life and death... is not worth mentioning in your eyes?"

"Mr. Lian was wrong in the first step. Before His Majesty returned to Yanjing, Mr. Lian dared to kill Alibuge's men and seize military power first. Aren't everything he did after that to cover up this mistake? Otherwise, why did he come to this point? He even talked about sacrificing his life and dying?"

"Yes, it's me wrong, I'm so ridiculous."

The ridicule on Lian Xixian's face became even stronger, and he ended up laughing.

He laughed until tears flowed out, and he still didn't stop, laughing back and forth.

"Hahaha... ridiculous... ridiculous..."

Faced with Li Xia's opponent who seemed to be a god-given talent, Lian Xixian never felt discouraged.

He was slow and was controlled by Li Xia step by step, but until this moment, he was still trying to turn the tables and was indomitable.

What's funny is that Yi Shuan could easily kill Li Xia with just one order, but he didn't even want to listen.

Things in the world are so ridiculous.

"It's ridiculous... I'm so ridiculous. I'm not as circling as the Great Mongolian government... I should learn from you, the governor of etiquette! When I learn from you, the families of high-ranking officials who rebel against Jin and surrender... I don't care about his dynasty, his family of wealth and country... Hahaha, just keep the family rich and noble forever... Hahaha..."

Uncle Yi shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Lian, don't laugh... I'll do it, there are two things to tell you."

Lian Xixian is still smiling.

Yi Shuan said to himself: "Your Majesty has appointed Ahema as the left and right department of the Secretariat and the Ministry of Transportation of the Capital, and he will be the one who presides over the situation in Shanxi."

The smile on Lian Xixian's face froze.

He knew that Ah Hema had a deep grudge against each other.

Uncle Yi spread his hands and said, "Mr. Lian should understand, too. I can't listen to your instructions again. I can only hand you over. I just ask Mr. Lian to prepare for it in his heart."

Lian Xixian understands.

At this time, political enemies are appointed to preside over the situation in Shanxi, so there is no need to say more.

"Another thing is news a while ago..."

Uncle Yi changed his sad face, spoke slowly, and said, "Lingtang... has passed away, and Lian Gong is mourning for the change."

Lian Xixian's stiff smile changed drastically, as if he was severely injured, and he took two steps back and fell to the ground.

In the prison, only Yi Shuan was still talking slowly.

"In July, Lingtang had already left. At that time, the matter in Guanzhong was in urgent need, and Mr. Lian's house suppressed the news and did not send the news. Last month, news came out of Yanjing that Mr. Lian had to return home to observe the rules, but... but to this day, I am afraid that I can't let Mr. Lian go, so I will send someone to send mourning clothes in a while..."

Yi Shuan had some pity in his tone, and he really thought that he was advising Lian Xixian with good advice. If Lian Xixian had not wanted to overstep his authority at that time, how could he even missed his mother's death?

Be a minister and a son, take it as a matter of duty...

~~

On the other hand, after Zhang Yanxiong met Yi Shuan, he went to the ferry to prepare the ships, including the ships brought by Li Xia from the south bank.

Afterwards, he first went to the inn where Li Xia lived. When he looked around, he couldn't see Li Xia, and immediately became panicked.

Just as I was about to return to see if my elder sister was still there, I saw Li Xia Shi coming from the opposite side.

"you……"

"General Zhang." Li Xia reminded him seriously.

Zhang Yanxiong then said with a stern face and shouted: "Come in and speak."

When he walked into the room, he said impatiently: "Do you want to kidnap my eldest sister?!"

"Didn't General Zhang lock the door?"

"I'm polite if I don't kill you. Don't anger me, I'll tell you that you won't have any good results."

Li Xia just thought it was wind in front of her ears, glanced at Zhang Yanxiong, and smiled slightly.

Zhang Yanxiong was stunned, tried hard to raise his momentum, and shouted: "You will leave today! I have prepared a boat and said that you will let you go down the Yellow River to Kaifeng. You left Yijia and rowed southward. You will be back to your Tongguan!"

"Sister, don't you follow me?"

"The toad also wants to eat swan meat. Let's go quickly before I kill you!"

Li Xia said again: "Lian Xixian has not dealt with yet, so he will reveal the matter sooner or later."

"I have done what you said. Uncle Yi An refused to hand over the person to me... My boss will deal with it himself!"

"Hmm? What did Uncle Yi say?"

"Just leave! No matter what the fuck said."

Zhang Yanxiong said "tsk" and was very annoyed.

After thinking about it, Li Xia sent an envoy to indirectly proved that it was Lian Xixian's defection, and the Zhang family was not suspected of colluding with the enemy, and they were in line with Goro's orders.

After all, he responded: "Uncle Yian refused to give Lian Xixian to me, nor did he send you the people, saying that he had sent Yang Shi to the perfunctory way."

Li Xia waved and whispered: "Lian Xixian has a high reputation in Chang'an. Once the news of his arrest spreads, I am afraid that the defenders on the east bank of the Yellow River will come down. You need to remind the Yi family to be prepared. When they fight, let me take Lian Xixian away again. It is confirmed that he is a rebel, and all he said is a false accusation."

"You want to use me again?"

"When did I use you?" Li Xia said: "Don't forget, how did Shang Ting learn that his elder sister was coming to me? This hidden danger was eliminated."

Zhang Yanxiong could no longer understand and murmured: "Then why did you send Lian Xixian here again?"

"Isn't this to clear the Zhang family's charges?"

"This... can't you leave today?"

Li Xiayun waved his hand lightly and said, "You don't have to worry, listen to me and my elder sister with peace of mind, and I will ensure that you will be successful in the future."

Zhang Yanxiong was stunned again. When he looked up, he saw Li Xia's determined gaze as if he wanted to see the bottom of his heart.

...

However, when he walked out of this inn, he suddenly looked back and became surprised and suspicious.
