Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3687 Guiding the maze
Xue Wanche was rarely praised by his colleagues. At this moment, his heart was relieved, and his expression became more kind: "The British lord did not issue a strict order, but just ignored you. But now hundreds of thousands of army hedgehogs are gathered near Tongguan, and food and vegetables are indeed abundant. I'm nervous, but since General Li begged me, how could you let you come back empty-handed? Come on!"

"Here!"

When the soldiers outside the door entered, Xue Wanche ordered: "Go and prepare food for 1000 people for ten days and send it to General Li."

"Here!"

When the soldiers left, Li Junxian was very grateful, clasped his fists and said, "The county magistrate is really eager for justice, and this kind of friendship will never be forgotten by the general, and he will definitely report it later."

Xue Wanche became more and more flirtatious, stroked his beard, and smiled reservedly: "General Li and Fang Er have a good relationship, and I have a good relationship with that fellow, so there is no need for us to divide, and those who should help have to help a group, it makes sense. That's all. But before Yuwen Shihe came to act as a lobbyist, hoping that the commander could stand on Guanlong's side. Come here, I'm afraid I won't get a letter from the commander."

In fact, it's not just that the outside world is uncertain about Li Ji's position and has different guesses?Even these generals in the army do not know what medicine Li Ji's gourd is selling.Whether it is Donggong or Guanlong, you have to stand on one side, right?You can't raise your own flag to usurp the throne...

There were quite a few complaints in the army, and all kinds of gossip were repeatedly banned, all of which depended on Li Ji's own prestige.

But in the long run, problems will eventually arise...

Li Junxian pondered for a while, and asked tentatively, "You really don't have any words at all?"

He felt that this was a bit inconceivable. No matter how Li Ji concealed the thoughts in his heart, the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered from north to south and had different camps. Who is convinced?
Whether in the court or in the military, even if they are all saints and sages who serve the country and the people, they must consider their own interests... Chang'an is fighting endlessly, and Guan Long is challenging the highest power. Who wins and who loses depends on the whole world. Interest, who can be indifferent?
Xue Wanche shook his head: "It's true that I can't figure out the idea of ​​the commander at all... But General Li can go and put Lu Guogong. He is the commander's confidant, and maybe there are some signs."

This time, Li Junxian was really grateful, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is righteous, you will definitely report to His Royal Highness Prince Ming in detail at the end of the day. Presumably His Highness will also praise him."

"Haha, then there is General Lao Li."

"Undoubtedly."

……

Li Junxian got food and vegetables from Xue Wanche, and was escorted by Youwu guards to the barracks where the "Hundred Knights" temporarily lived.

Li Junxian came into the house and saw Xiao Yu half-leaning on the bed, her expression still sluggish, her face pale and ugly, she took two steps forward, and asked with concern, "Is your grandfather better?"

Xiao Yu opened his eyes to look at Li Junxian, half-closed his eyes, and said weakly, "I'm too old to be useful... Although I was a child, I was able to mount a horse and kill the enemy, but now I can't even hurry. I can't stand it, and if I miss the important event of His Royal Highness, it will not be a pity to die."

He already knew about the fact that the envoys could not even get food, and it was said that Li Ji avoided it. This shows Li Ji's attitude.

In this trip, my old bones almost fell apart, and I lost half of my life, but it is probably a waste of hard work, and it is difficult to complete the task...

Li Junxian comforted: "The prince may wish to rest in peace for a few days, and the last general will also inquire about the news in the army."

Then he told him about getting food and vegetables from Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanche instructed him to visit Cheng Yaojin without saying a word...

Xiao Yu was refreshed and said with joy, "This is good news."

The most fearful thing is that Li Ji suppressed the army of the Eastern Expedition in a monolithic form, and his will prevailed inside and out. Even if he had ulterior motives, he would not dare to act rashly.Since Xue Wanche was able to point out that Lu Guogong was taking gold, he might be able to use this as a breakthrough.

But after the joy, pantothenic acid is inevitable.

Fang Jun's fellow has been competing with him on the matter of peace talks, and even rude words, completely ignoring his status and qualifications, and his liver hurts with anger.However, when we arrived at Tongguan, not only did we obtain food and vegetables by means of other people's connections, but even the breakthrough to find Li Ji had to be honored by Fang Jun's love...

Inevitably embarrassing.

Then he said: "Today I'm in a very bad state. Let's take a night's rest. In the morning tomorrow, let's go to see Cheng Yaojin first, talk about his tone, and then go to see Li Ji."

Li Junxian responded.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops near Tongguan, Cheng Yaojin is responsible for the defense of Tongguan.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yu, who had rested all night, got up to take a shower. Her body was still weak, but her mental state was better.After breakfast, he and Li Junxian rode to the underpass of Tongguan City, where they found a captain of Zuowuwei, and let them pass Cheng Yaojin.

After a while, the captain turned around and asked the two to meet.

Xiao Yu and Li Junxian looked at each other with joy in their hearts - there is a door...

Under the gate, in a simple barracks.

Cheng Yaojin got up and greeted Xiao Yu and Li Junxian. After taking their seats, the soldiers served tea and retreated. Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "I heard that Song Guogong was not feeling well after arriving yesterday, have you been feeling better? "

Xiao Yu was not surprised that his own situation was mastered. Even if Li Ji avoided seeing him, how could he really ignore him?
He smiled and said: "Lu Guogong has a heart... Now that I am old, this journey of mountains and rivers almost broke a bunch of old bones, but now the East Palace is in danger and the society is in decline. In a critical situation, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, it will be at all costs.”

After saying that, he stared at Cheng Yaojin with burning eyes.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed, and he laughed: "Song Guogong is an honorable minister of the country, and he has made great contributions to the society. If there is anything wrong, it is the loss of the empire. You have worked hard for the empire for half your life, and now you are getting older, You should also take a break. State affairs are always endless, how much can you manage? In the end, you should let go gradually and take care of your life.”

Xiao Yu shook his head, and said sternly: "We are deeply favored by the emperor, how can we stand by and ignore the Chang'an rebellion at this time? Entering the Taiji Palace, dismissing the East Palace, and causing the prince to die for the country, how should we explain to His Majesty, how should we explain to the empire, and how should we explain to our own conscience?”

Righteousness is strict, righteousness is awe-inspiring.

Cheng Yaojin grinned, and he naturally understood that Xiao Yu was testing him, so he shook his head and said, "You are one of the chiefs of Zaifu, you should be cherishing the empire and doing your best, but I am just a soldier, a soldier only knows how to obey orders, you This is the wrong object."

Xiao Yu said: "Why did the British man avoid seeing the old man?"

This is a test of Lao Tzu's tone... I don't mind revealing something to you, but the key is that I don't know what the insidious guy Xu Maogong planned.

I had to pretend not to know, shook my head and said, "You have to ask the British Master about this, how can I know what he thinks?"

Xiao Yu was a little disappointed and sighed: "The rebels have been uprising for several months now, the city of Chang'an has been wiped out, the imperial city is empty, and the Taiji Palace is also broken... How can life be important to the future and interests? However, the righteousness lies, even if you are smashed to pieces, you will not dare to succumb to serving thieves. Lu Guogong is deeply favored by His Majesty, and has always supported the East Palace, but I don’t know what you are thinking at this moment?”

Cheng Yaojin's face was expressionless: "Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their natural duty. Where the order is, the sword and fire are like walking on the ground. The biggest taboo for soldiers is that they have their own ideas."

This bastard can't get in the oil and salt...

Xiao Yu couldn't help him, so he only asked tentatively, "Can Duke Lu introduce Duke Yingying for this old man?"

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said, "It can be relayed on your behalf, but whether you see it or not depends on the meaning of the British prince."

Xiao Yu was a little disappointed, but still showed earnestness: "Then I will trouble Duke Lu, the old man will thank you on behalf of His Royal Highness!"

Get up and touch the ground.

As long as Li Ji avoids seeing him, he will never see Li Ji anyway, so he can only put his hope on Cheng Yaojin, and hope that this fellow can put his heart in the East Palace, take care of the overall situation, and say a few more words in front of Li Ji. Good words, otherwise, I have traveled a long way to come, but I can't even see the face of the master, it is really aggrieved...
