Qin Liang returned to Queen Mother Guo's room and said goodbye to her. He had to rush back to Lu'an this morning to bring Ling Jun and others to Shouchun.
At this time, Wang Ling and his son did not come in, and Qin Liang did not waste any time in saluting. He hugged Queen Mother Guo's waist, pressed close to her body, and kissed her. Mrs. Zhen looked on in amazement, and Qin Liang turned to kiss her.
on her lips.
Queen Mother Guo asked worriedly: "Will someone come in?"
Qin Liang then let her go and said, "My maternal uncle will arrange another courtyard later. Your Highness will go there in a carriage and don't show your face. I'm here to say goodbye and I have to go back to Liu'an City to pick someone up."
Queen Mother Guo asked hurriedly: "When will you come back?"
Her expression was strange. It was estimated that the unfamiliar environment and relatively unfamiliar people in Shouchun could not give her a sense of security. Qin Liang then said warmly: "I will go back tomorrow. After your Majesty Xuanji comes, Your Highness can live with them."
"
Queen Mother Guo breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."
The huge external pressure has completely suppressed the possible jealousy between the women. Empress Dowager Guo has regarded Lingjun Xuanji as her own. After all, they are both from Qin Liang's family, and Lingjun is still Ayu's by name.
Mother. Perhaps there are other reasons as well. Neither Empress Dowager Guo nor Ling Jun is a womanizer.
Just as Qin Liang had lamented a long time ago, in the face of survival, many things are nothing.
At this time, Queen Mother Guo mused again: "My uncle and the others..."
Qin Liang said: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. Sima Yi doesn't need to deal with the Guo family. Sima Yi and his son are so smart. They have probably figured it out long ago. Your Highness's departure from the palace has nothing to do with the Guo family."
Queen Mother Guo sighed: "I hope so."
Qin Liang comforted them for a few words and then said goodbye to the two of them. He left Rao Dashan and other entourage behind, and set off on horseback with only a few people.
You can return to Lu'an in the afternoon.
Back at the county mansion, Qin Liang made some preparations. When he was arranging everything in the palace, he mentioned that the King Governor was ill. They had discussed it secretly before and agreed not to let anyone else go before sending out troops.
People who knew about it naturally included Qin Liang's own cronies.
However, he still sent Yang Wei to the Shushui military camp to gather the county guards for training on the grounds of training and preparation for war.
In fact, it is impossible for Wu State to launch a war in the direction of Yangzhou in the near future. Ma Mao just sent back the news not long ago that a plague is occurring in Jianye and other places of Wu State, with many soldiers killed and injured, and it may not be able to control it for a while.
During the epidemic of infectious diseases, launching a war was simply asking for death (the troops had to gather for battle). Natural disasters gave the Wei army in Yangzhou more time.
Ma Mao also revealed in his secret letter that Zhu Ran, the Wu general in Jingzhou, may attack the Xiangzhong area in the near future.
Qin Liang ignored this matter. It was just right to attack Jingzhou. Wang Chang, who was stationed in Wancheng, was originally promoted by Sima Yi and had close contacts. It would not be a bad thing to contain Wang Chang.
Of course, Wang Chang and Wang Ling also have a good relationship. They grew up together, and Wang Chang was Wang Ling's brother since childhood... In fact, many of the people who were good friends with Sima Yi had a better relationship with Wang Ling. Otherwise, how could Qin Liang and others do it?
Do you think Wang Ling is Sima Yi's biggest threat?
But at the critical moment of life and death, Qin Liang didn't think that feelings were very reliable, and it was not a bad thing to be on guard. What's more, Wang Chang's brotherhood was an old relationship. Later, everyone became high officials. The exchange of interests between Sima Yi and Wang Chang, who was in the auxiliary position,
There should be more.
Now besides covering up the news of the army, Qin Liang didn't care about anything else. Including Mrs. Lu, Qin Liang simply asked her to go with Wu Xin.
What kind of Shu spies were discovered, and now they are no longer a threat to Qin Liang.
If Qin Liang loses his army, he will have a lot more serious problems than the spies of Shu. If he wins, no one can question him, including the emperor. Even Wang Ling will do his best to unite with his grandson-in-law. Except Sima Yi
There are party members, powerful generals inside and outside, and a large group of nobles. Wang Ling wants to fight among himself because of his brains.
Early the next morning, Qin Liang came to Dige again to arrange everything and prepare to set off later.
When Linghuyu arrives in Shouchun, it is not difficult to convince Linghuyu. Wang Ling and his son are enough, and Qin Liang does not need to participate. After Linghuyu knows that Sima Yi's army has been defeated, will he still be able to sleep now?
It's hard to say.
At this moment, Wang Kang hurriedly walked into the front hall, looking a little strange.
Wang Kang stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Huan Fan is here."
"Who?" Qin Liang blurted out and asked.
Wang Kang whispered: "Grand Secretary Nong Huanfan and City Gate Colonel Wenqin all brought their families. The servants did not let them enter the house and found a courtyard outside."
Although Qin Liang reacted very quickly, he couldn't figure out why Huan Fan would come to Lujiang. Even if Wen Qin came, it would be quite surprising.
Wang Kang added: "Wen Qin had served as the governor of Lujiang County. He was afraid of being recognized, so he didn't get off the carriage."
Qin Liang thought for a while, stood up and said, "I'll go see you first."
Under the guidance of Wang Kang, Qin Liang arrived at a private house outside the county government soon. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw several people waiting at the door of a room. Two people, one tall and one short, walked out of the room. It turned out to be Huan Fan.
With Wen Qin!
The remaining women, children and a young boy stood inside the door with fear on their faces, not daring to come out.
There was also a woman among them, who should be Wen Qin's wife. Huan Fan was not very morally virtuous and had a bad temper. He accidentally beat his pregnant wife to death, so he would probably not run away with his wife.
The two men looked very embarrassed, their faces were covered with dust, their robes were covered with mud, and Huan Fan's robe had two big holes in it.
Wen Qin no longer had the air of arrogance and contempt for everything, and his face was even a little embarrassed, showing a forced smile. When greeting each other, Wen Qin said calmly: "Master Fu, we meet again, we are really destined.
.”
"It is indeed destined." Qin Liang wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
When Huan Fan returned the gift, he remained silent.
Qin Liang said: "Shall we go into the house to talk?"
Wen Qin turned sideways and said, "General Qin, please."
One moment he was called the Lord of the House, and the next he was the General. Qin Liang suddenly felt that Wen Qin was not like that to everyone. Sometimes Wen Qin was still a person who could understand current affairs.
Qin Liang also said politely: "Gong Huan, General Wen invites you."
When Huan Fan heard Qin Liang's name, he couldn't help but raise his head to observe Qin Liang.
Qin Liang raised his hands and greeted the family members inside the door, then walked into another wing first. The two of them followed.
After taking his seat, Qin Liang said directly: "Don't worry, since you two have come to vote, I respect you and I will ensure that you two are safe and sound." He continued, "Of course, there will be nothing you can do if I am unlucky too.
"
When Huan Fan heard this, he finally said: "General Qin also knows that Sima Yi's army has been defeated?"
Qin Liang said calmly: "I know, I knew it the day before yesterday. Didn't I do school affairs?"
Huan Fan pondered for a while and asked: "The general returned to Luoyang later?"
Qin Liang nodded and said: "It's destined."
After he finished speaking, he thought to himself: If Cao Shuang doesn't surrender, he won't be Cao Shuang!
After Empress Dowager Guo left Beijing last year, Qin Liang felt that he had helped Cao Shuang. Firstly, this was an obvious warning, and secondly, it was difficult for Sima Yi to find his identity as a soldier. Unexpectedly, Cao Shuang's situation became even worse! Sima Yi just
He changed his stance and still managed to kill Cao Shuang. There was really no other way.
Huan Fan raised his head and sighed: "It's all over." After saying this, his face was dejected, "Maybe I should go back to the city with the general."
Qin Liang asked: "If you go back, you will be dead. Why did Duke Huan say this?"
Huan Fan glanced at Qin Liang and said, "Once the situation in Luoyang is calmed down, Sima Yi will surely stabilize the Governor Wang with high-ranking officials. If General Qin doesn't send us back, won't he harm the Governor Wang?"
At this time, Qin Liang finally laughed out loud, his laughter was ugly, but he almost didn't stop.
Huan Fan and Wen Qin looked at each other with no smile at all.
Wen Qin said: "If General Qin is really in trouble, just let us go to Soochow."
Qin Liang finally suppressed his laughter, waved his hand and said, "Gong Huan and General Wen will stay here for a few days. I will ask my subordinates to bring some food and clothing to spend their time here."
He looked at Wen Qin and said: "It was indeed my idea to ask for credit for General Wen. If General Wen couldn't trust me at all, how could he come to vote?"
Wen Qin nodded.
Qin Liang said again: "General Wen, be patient and don't run away. It's best not to run away if you can. We don't know the people over there in Soochow, so who knows how they will treat us."
Wen Qin asked in surprise: "General Qin is leaving too?"
Qin Liang said: "If you don't leave for now, why don't you leave and wait for the corpse when there is really no other way?"
The two of them stood there stunned.
Qin Liang glanced at Huan Fan: "In the general's palace, Duke Huan is a sensible person. Does Duke Huan think that Sima Yi will let the Wang family go?"
Huan Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It makes sense. Thank you General Qin for taking me in!"
Wen Qin also paid his respects and said, "I only have a one-time relationship with General Qin, but General Qin came to the rescue. Your kindness in saving me will be unforgettable!"
At this time, Huan Fan should have understood that Qin Liang would not betray him. So Qin Liang did not want to waste any more time and returned the greeting: "Being an official in the same dynasty is a trivial matter, so don't worry about it. I still have some urgent things to do, so I'll forgive you for accompanying me soon."
, Please forgive me for my slightness. I’ll take my leave now.”
The three of them stood up together, and Qin Liang bowed to him again and said, "The official's name is Wang Kang. He is a minor official. You two can call him by his name, as long as he has no illness."
The two returned the gift and sent him out the door.
Qin Liang and Huan Fan originally disliked each other and still had old grudges, but when there were problems in their lives, the previous festivals were just that.
