After seeing the old man off, Yang Fei returned to the study and pushed open the door. Yang Guozhong was already sitting at the table looking at the court's reports as usual.
"Fei'er, have you heard everything Lu Minkang said before?"
"Return to father, the child can hear you clearly."
"You must do what you are told to do as soon as possible. The Khitan spies in Lu Minkang's house must be found and killed after Lu Minkang takes action."
"Yes, the boy has already asked Han Shantou and Yeshanzhao to do it."
"them?"
Yang Guozhong, who was reviewing the report, stopped, frowned deeply, and said:
"Their performance recently has been very bad. Don't let them do this, and replace them."
"Father, the dozen or so Tianzi killers in the house have tasks now, and only those three are free. We can't let that old man take action," Yang Fei said.
Yang Guozhong pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "He can't do it either. The identity of the evil devil is too easy to be exposed, and it would be too risky to use him. Find a way to bring back a few Tianzi killers. If that doesn't work, we will send out the Dizi killers."
"In short, the identities of Han Shanchu and Ye Shanzhao are too sensitive... The deputy general of the Xizhou Army, tsk... Li Yongchang who defected with the Shenhua Society is also from the Xizhou Army. If Li Chu follows this line of investigation, he will The case involving the Xizhou Army will make us very busy."
"What father said is that the child was not thinking well at the moment." Yang Fei wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, "At the Western Region Protectorate, we did a lot of things to An Lushan, and we must not be discovered by Li Chu. There are clues, otherwise we will confiscate the family and exterminate the clan."
Yang Guozhong stared at his son with his hawk-like eyes and shouted sternly: "How many times have I told you about that name? Never mention it. As long as you and I understand it, why can't you understand it?"
"My child knows that he is wrong, please ask your father to punish you." Yang Fei panted and knelt down in a hurry.
At the end, Yang Guozhong sighed, "Oh! Forget it, get up."
"Thank you, father." Yang Fei stood up unsteadily, his legs swinging wildly.
"Han Shanyi and Ye Shanzhao arranged for them to kill Li Xin'an and serve as Lu Minkang's back-up." Yang Guozhong said, "If those Khitan people fail to kill Li Xin'an, let them kill Li Xin'an and Li Xin'an." Get rid of the Khitan people together, and I will find a way to get Lu Minkang to leave the court, and then you can arrange for someone to get rid of him to avoid future troubles."
Yang Fei asked cautiously: "The child has exceeded the rules. Didn't father say that Li Xin'an and Xueyitang are chess pieces used to blackmail Li Chu? Why do they need to be eliminated now?"
"Today is different from the past. Someone is coming from the north, and his son will come to Beijing in person."
Yang Fei exclaimed: "It's Anqing——"
Yang Guozhong's eyes cut into Yang Fei's body like knives. He suddenly remembered what he had just said and hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent the last word from coming out.
"Father, how many people will they come?"
"The number of people is unknown, but it is said that he sent all the Eagle Guards under him to Chang'an. Haha, I really want to see the battle between the Eagle Guards, Tiance Mansion and Xueyitang, but it's just not possible."
Yang Fei smiled and said: "That's right. Once Li Xin'an dies, Li Chu himself will uproot the Xueyitang and leave no one behind, and will not let others take advantage of it."
He narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself: "His son will actually come to Beijing in person. It seems that he is really going to make a big move, maybe in the next few days."
"Father, do we also need to step back?"
Yang Guozhong said: "No need! Someone in the court said that he had the intention to rebel, and he pretended to be a father and tried to dissuade him many times, but the saint didn't believe it at all, let alone the fact that he entered the palace in person the year before last, which made it even more serious.
The saint trusts him. Therefore, if he really wants to take action, the first person responsible is the saint himself, and we cannot be implicated. We only need to sit safely at home, wait for him to attack Chang'an, open the door and surrender,
Be the minister who supports the dragon."
"Father is wise!" Yang Fei flattered him at the right time.
Yang Guozhong spoke solemnly: "Fei'er, Li
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xin'an must die. Once that person comes to Beijing and is discovered by the Xueyitang, things will be a lot more troublesome."
Yang Fei suddenly hesitated: "Father, what if Han Shanqi and Ye Shanzhao cannot kill Li Xin'an? Just like last time, Mr. Su and Su Xiu rescued him, and Han Shanqi and Ye Shanqi were no match for him.
.”
"It's best if you can kill him. If he doesn't die... let that person take action." Yang Guozhong sighed deeply.
"Originally, the water in Chang'an City is muddy enough. I really don't want the Demon Cult to get involved anymore."
…
The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.
"It's rare to have such good weather in the winter in Chang'an. It just so happens that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This may be the last time the three of us get together this year. Bai Mumu, don't droop your face. Come on, give me a smile."
On the table facing the street on the third floor of Juewei Tianxiang Building in Chang'an, Li Xin'an was holding Murong Bai, who was still injured, pouring wine into his mouth.
Ye Qinglan on the side cheered and cheered. Seeing that the wine bowl was empty, he quickly refilled it.
"Brother Li, you can't drink anymore." Murong Bai blushed and waved his hands repeatedly, "When I went out today, several elders taught me a lot and repeatedly told me to drink less. Bai didn't dare to disobey the teacher's orders."
Li Xin'an glanced at the messy wine jar on the table, curled her lips, and said: "Oh, you've already drank six jars, and you still say this without blushing."
Ye Qinglan burped, pointed at Murong Bai, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, look, he's blushing."
Li Xin'an raised his head and drank the wine in his hand. His eyes suddenly regained clarity. He sighed softly and said:
"You will all leave in two days. I haven't seen you for two months. I feel very lonely as a brother. Who can help me relieve my worries?"
A dancing girl came over after hearing the sound, and was happily sent back by Ye Qinglan with ten taels of silver. Murong Bai said seriously: "Brother Li, if you feel lonely, you can go to Wu County with Bai. You are a disciple of the Sword Master, and everyone in the villa will definitely meet you."
Warm hospitality and competition are indispensable, and my father will definitely ask for advice, which will be of great benefit to Brother Li. What do you think?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Li has been practicing swordsmanship from beginning to end all year long. He is not allowed to rest during the Chinese New Year." Ye Qinglan pulled his neck and shouted, "If you ask me, Brother Li should follow me to the Ye family.
, the scenery in Yangzhou is different from that in Chang'an, I guarantee that Brother Li will never leave you."
"Besides, my eldest brother and second brother always bully me openly or covertly. Brother Li, you can go and support me."
Murong Bai glanced at him coldly: "You have no ability to be bullied, so you still have the nerve to invite others? Haven't you practiced swordsmanship yourself? You are in the middle of the third grade. Why can't you kill those two of you who have no power to bind a chicken?
Brother?"
Ye Qinglan retorted: "That's my brother, my brother! If they can't move me, can I move them?"
He then lowered his voice and muttered: "Besides, do you think I don't want to? The guards around them are all the same as Qu Gang. I went over with my sword and was slapped to death."
Li Xin'an smiled and reached out to stop the argument between the two of them, "We are all brothers, why make it so unpleasant, drinking and drinking."
Murong Bai suddenly seemed to remember something, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he said: "Brother Li, why don't you go to our two families? Wu County and Yangzhou are very close to each other, and it's the same everywhere."
"Yes, Bai Mumu's suggestion is good." Ye Qinglan agreed.
"No, no, I have somewhere to go."
Li Xin'an smiled and said: "I appreciate your kindness. Usually during the Chinese New Year, I won't be staying in Chang'an. I will visit relatives."
"Relatives?" Murong Bai and Ye Qinglan frowned at the same time. Li Linfu's family members were all exiled, and they lived all over the world. How could he visit them?
"My eldest brother Li Xiu and my seventh sister Li Tengkong. Normally I only go to these two places." Li Xin'an said.
It turned out to be so, and the two of them suddenly realized.
Murong Bai sighed and said: "Li Xiu had a reputation as a virtuous man back then, and Taoist priest Zhaode sought immortality and sought Taoism. The two of them were not involved in much, which is really unfortunate."
"Eldest brother is fine now, but Seventh Sister is becoming more and more otherworldly." Li Xin'an said with a smile, "I went to see her last year, and she said she was no longer there.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
She has been living without food for many months. Sigh... I'm really afraid that something will happen to her."
Ye Qinglan tilted his head and said: "The people who are fasting are all living gods, and we are all mortals. Isn't it unfounded to worry about others?"
Murong Bai said: "The army will go on an expedition next spring, and Mr. Pei Min is also on the expedition. Won't he return to Beijing?"
Li Xin'an shook his head, "This battle against the Khitan is very large. We have specially transferred generals from the Andong Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate. The master is not qualified to command an army, so he can only stay at the border."
Depending on what others do, I probably won’t be able to come back.”
"Moreover, he has been stationed in the north of Saibei all year round and is most familiar with the Khitan situation. His mission is indispensable. He is still very worried now."
He breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't talk about me! Talk about you guys, when will you leave?"
"The day after tomorrow." Ye Qinglan said, "Ye Xiang's injury is too serious, and he has to be sent back to the Ye family for recuperation immediately, so the schedule is quite tight."
Li Xin'an nodded, turned to Murong Bai, and asked, "What about you?"
Murong Bai whispered: "I have to deal with the matter in Chang'an first before I can leave. I will personally visit the sect of the dozen or so people I killed to apologize. It will probably take ten days."
"Do you need me to accompany you?" Li Xin'an asked with concern.
In order to help Murong Bai get rid of his inner demons and cheer him up, he deliberately told a lie, saying that the cause of death of those who were killed in the Shenhua Society was the poison administered by Amuter Khan. After Murong Bai left, Li Xin'an was afraid that the matter would be leaked.
, Murong Bai was sluggish again.
Unexpectedly, Murong Bai shook his head and refused. He smiled and said: "Brother Li, I know the truth of the matter. Thank you for giving me a hand. I have already figured it out. It's okay."
"You know everything?" Li Xin'an was a little surprised.
"Yes." Murong Bai sighed softly, "I figured it out. The jungle is a place of the jungle. Fist decides everything. Morality and kindness will only harm yourself. Without moral restraint, no one can do anything to you. Become a king.
Defeated bandits are all like this."
"Murong Villa will compensate them, but if they go too far, I won't show mercy."
"The prestige of Murong Villa cannot be blasphemed!"
Li Xin'an patted Murong Bai on the shoulder and said happily: "I'm very happy that you can understand this. But you must always remember that being strong is not a reason to bully the weak. The sword in your hand will always be aimed at those who are stronger than you.
Strong people, don't look down on the ants on the ground. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Ants can also bite people to death."
Murong Bai said seriously: "I understand."
"Okay, without further ado, there is still a jar of wine. Ye Qi is going to invite us to Pipa Courtyard." Li Xin'an raised the wine bowl and said boldly:
"Dry!"
…
Fanyang, with its fertile soil and fertile Yan Yan, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It invaded the northern part of the Great Wall from the outside and swallowed up the Central Plains from the inside, becoming the dominant place in the world.
This city has witnessed the beacon fires of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and has endured the wind and sand of the two Jin Dynasties. It has withstood the culture of the Central Plains, and has also been trampled by the wolves outside the Great Wall.
But now, Fanyang is extremely glorious. It is not just an ordinary city, it has become the third temple of the Tang Dynasty.
Just because of a man, a barbarian.
Fan Yang Jiedushi, Anlu Mountain.
In the evening on the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the twelfth year of Tianbao, Fanyang City sent away its last group of tourists at the last moment before the curfew.
People heading to Chang'an.
The setting sun finally set behind the city wall, and the shadows of the defenders on the city wall were stretched infinitely before they were run over by the wheels of the tourists' carriages.
On the broad road, only this group of people walked alone. Two horses and one cart, one driver, one attendant, one maid, and one young master.
There were dead trees on both sides of the road, and countless black crows were perching on them. The carriage disturbed them, and then they flew away in panic.
No one knows how many pairs of eyes in the dark are staring at the two horses and one carriage, and no one knows how many powerful spies have left Fan Yang at this time, running back and forth, passing the news to their master as quickly as possible, just like
The frightened black crows flew in all directions.
