In the main courtyard, Luo Chuan, Zhao Wuji, and Luo Jiang left the banquet and went to sit in a pavilion in a quiet garden in the backyard.
Siqi went to make tea.
"The moon is the brightness of my hometown..." Zhao Wuji sighed as he looked at the bright moon in the sky, and then went to answer Luo Chuan's previous question at the dinner table, "You ask about submission, please note that submission and submission are actually two different things."
"You once brought an army from five directions to force Li City, especially after you took away the Lijun Qingqi. No matter how stupid the generals of Lijun were, they would understand the meaning of this, even if you have never entered Lijun.
No one from top to bottom dares to disobey, otherwise it will lead to death. The Ganyuan Lin family is a clear example." Zhao Wuji pointed to the garden road that occupies a large area, "Just like the owner of this house, he can be in the officialdom.
Who can be stupid after fooling around for so long? Shun, of course it is 120,000 points smooth."
"Being convinced is another matter. After all, you are too young and have grown up in Zhongjing City. Many people have never even heard of such an eldest son like you. Now you have inherited the title of prefect of Li County as soon as you appear.
Of course, there are doubts about his position, not to mention these years..." He paused and pointed in a certain direction in the backyard and said, "With his existence, many people inside and outside the court have expressed their opinions.
Some people may even have been promised a position, but now they have to worry about being settled by you after all, and all kinds of thoughts are normal."
"That's how it was originally. Some things have to take time to kill. But who would have expected that you would lead an army northward as soon as you came to the throne. Now you not only captured the three warehouses of Yongchang County, but also the Anling Yan family.
When the surnames of the princes are removed, things will be different." Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "When you hold Han Feng up high today, it's like you are holding up the achievements of the Northern Expedition to everyone. If you say
Ten percent of them are convinced, I don't know, but if ten percent of them are scared, there is probably no problem at all. How many people in the Luo family's nine hundred years of history can count with such martial arts?
There is no reason why they should not be in awe of you."
Luo Jiang nodded at the side and said, "That's the case. Look at the smiles on their old faces today. How could you see them in the past?"
Zhao Wuji added, "But it is only Gan Yuan who submits to this. After all, even if he was a court official, he is now enjoying his old age and can no longer take care of unnecessary things. It is different for those in Licheng. They are still sitting like that.
In their position, they couldn't help but think more about it. If anything is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. Now you, the prefect of Lijun, are too provocative. Not to mention that the Nanyi will hate you to the bone after this battle. Even Guangjun's attitude is too
It is really elusive. If there is a war between the north and the south next spring, all the prosperity we are seeing now may turn into smoke in an instant, as well as Liu Feixu in Anling County, Meng Xiaotian in Yongchang County, and the problem of grain and grass reserves, etc., etc.
All of them are daggers inserted into my waist and abdomen, and if you can't deal with the variables one by one from now on, you will still be there."
Luo Chuan nodded calmly, "When I chose this path, I knew that there was no turning back. There was only a glimmer of hope, and I could only be frightened step by step. There was no room for missteps. If they followed my fear, I would be able to make this happen.
Li Jun is a tightrope both inside and outside the court. I don’t mind playing such a role. Today’s Li Jun..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Because a shadow suddenly appeared beside him, with his back turned to him, looking towards the high wall opposite the garden.
On the chair next to Luo Jiang, a bearded middle-aged man wearing a craftsman's jacket suddenly appeared there. He was sitting leaning back, holding a wide and heavy battle ax in his hand, whittling his nails and looking.
When Luo Chuan looked at him in surprise, the middle-aged man raised his head and smiled honestly at him, showing his white teeth.
Luo Chuan turned around and followed the shadow's gaze, and saw three figures standing on the high wall opposite the garden. One of them, who looked like a buffalo, was Wangchuan Sword Master Niu Deyi, while the other two figures were Wangchuan Sword Master Niu Deyi.
Never seen it.
One of the young masters was holding a folding fan, and the other was wearing a broad white robe that fluttered like a fairy.
"Xian Youzi?!" Niu Deyi looked at the thin old man in a wide white robe on the high wall in surprise, and then turned to look at Luochuan as if he had realized something, "But he came to the prefect of Li County for the matter of Anling County.
?”
The thin old man first looked at the shadow beside Luo Chuan, then at the silversmith sitting beside him, trimming his nails, and then looked at Niu Deyi and sighed softly, "Fellow Taoist Niu has entered Li County now?"
"Exactly," Niu Deyi tilted his head in embarrassment and said to the emaciated old man, "Xianyouzi, this is how the battles between princes are. You and I as Taoists should not be involved in it, but if you insist on embarrassing Lijun today,
The prefect Niu could only stop him." He then looked at the young master in brocade clothes beside the thin old man and said in a rude tone, "Who are you, and you are also here to cause trouble for the prefect of Li County?!"
The young man in jinyi didn't even look at Niu Deyi, he just stared at Luochuan and looked up and down, his eyes lingering on a simple jade pendant around his waist for a moment without saying a word.
The Kung Fu Garden where the two people exchanged a few words on the high wall was filled with Wangchuan sword cultivators who were carrying swords. Especially Qin Wansong and Chang Wuxi, who were familiar with Luo Chuan, entered the pavilion directly and stood beside him.
before.
When Luo Chuan heard the name "Xian Youzi" from Niu Deyi's mouth, and saw that the young man in brocade kept looking at him, he knew the identity of the visitor, so he stood up and came to Qin Wansong's side, and raised his hands to the two uninvited guests on the high wall.
He said, "It turns out that two seniors, Nan Feng and Xian Youzi, have arrived in Ganyuan. How about I invite you two to the pavilion for a cup of tea?"
Niu Deyi turned his head and glanced at Luochuan, but said no more.
Mr. Jinyi just nodded.
But the thin old man said, "Your Majesty the Grand Administrator has invited you, and I will accompany you." As he said this, he jumped down from the high wall, and under the watchful eyes of the Wangchuan sword cultivators, he walked straight to the silversmith's side.
Sit down on the empty seat.
The silversmith turned his head, glanced at the thin old man, and then began to sharpen his nails again.
Young Master Jinyi also flew over in a dashing manner, but instead of taking a seat, he leaned against a pillar outside the pavilion and looked sideways at the people in the pavilion.
When Niu Deyi saw this, he jumped down from the wall and sat down beside Luo Chuan, with the shadow faintly separating him from the thin old man. Then he waved to Qin Wansong, Chang Wuxi and other junior brothers and sisters, and all Wangchuan sword cultivators.
Then he quietly exited the garden.
So, in this small garden pavilion, except for Luo Chuan, Zhao Wuji, Luo Jiang, and Siqi who was serving tea to everyone, there were actually five powerful people in the upper three realms gathered in this small garden pavilion, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
No one spoke first, and in this small world, there was only the sound of tea falling into the teacup...
