Seeing that he had misunderstood, Chen Yun turned his eyes to Wang Xu first. Wang Xu knew that he would walk not far away and wait for a while to avoid any idle people coming in. Seeing their actions, Li Yan thought he was about to take action. Although he had already had the intention to die, his face suddenly turned pale and his mouth was dry.

"Envoy Li, you are wrong. We are not the minions of Zhu Zhe, but the subordinates of Lu Fang, the governor of Huzhou. I just recognized you in the restaurant. I wanted to discuss some things, but I was afraid that there were too many people on the road and that the villain would see them and cause trouble. So I acted like this. Please forgive me for the abruptness." At this point, Chen and Gao bowed their faces deeply.

Li Yan originally thought that today was a dead end, but then he suddenly turned around again. He felt weak and his back was covered in cold sweat. He quickly held his hands and bowed and said, "So that's it. My family was killed. At this time, he was like a frightened bird and just laughed."

Chen and Gao quickly apologized, saying that they had acted recklessly just now. The two sides exchanged greetings. Li Yan was originally a very smart person, but the incident happened suddenly and showed such embarrassment. At this time, he talked with Chen and Gao and observed his demeanor. It was obvious that he was also a powerful figure on weekdays. Even the military officer who kept guarding not far away, he was not an ordinary first-class guard. He also heard about Lu Fang's attack on Hangzhou and killing Qian Miaoman's family within a few days. Although due to his status, not all the inside story could be understood, he could guess four or five points based on the actions of each party. These three Lu Fang's capable subordinates suddenly acted like this and ventured to hijack him, a sensitive person, in Guangling City, and his purpose was not known, so he made up his mind and pretended to be confused and saw how they spoke.

Chen Yun and Gao Fengtian were waiting for the cold and looked at each other. Gao Fengtian smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Li came from a prominent family in Guanxi. He served the emperor when he was young and was also appointed as an important task by Jianghuai. He must have entrusted such an important task. Why did he come to this restaurant alone for food?" Although Gao and Chen heard Hu Ji say that Li Yan was in great despair in Guangling City, they were still afraid that the news was untrue, so Gao Fengtian made a statement to test it.

"What do you say? Someone is just a idle man who takes more than ten stones of brown rice and three or two pieces of silk cloth every month. There is no place to follow. I am not afraid of the two jokes. I just owe the money in the wine shop on credit, just hope that Shangyuan will save energy and pay more, otherwise I will not have the face to come to this wine shop again in the future."

Gao and Chen pretended to be surprised. Chen Yun sighed, "How could this be so? Even if the King of Wu is not allowed to be in charge of the prefectures and counties, he will at least stay in the center. Ask him from time to time, he will treat each other like this. It must be because the king is deceived by the villains around him. Unfortunately, we are both low-identities and cannot advise the king." At this point, Chen Yun paused repeatedly, looking like he was in a position of unfairness for Li Yan's situation.

Gao Fengtian, who was beside him, groped in his arms for a while, took out a green cloth package, and handed it to Li Yan, saying, "Please accept these items, Mr. Li."

Li Yan took the package and felt that he had a heavy hand. When he opened it, he saw that there were dozens of small gold nuggets the size of a thumb. Judging from the color and texture, it was all full of pure gold. In ancient China, gold prices were quite high. The value of these gold was probably no less than thousands of stakes. He quickly pushed it back and said, "How can you and I just get to know each other for the first time? How can I accept so much wealth?"

Gao Fengtian did not take it back and said with a smile: "How can you not be able to do it? Although you and I are the first to know each other, the ancients said, "Old heads are as old as new, and as old as before. The important thing about friends is to be in harmony with each other is to be in harmony, not the length of time. Mr. Li followed the emperor's imperial edict and went down the river thousands of miles away, calling on heroes to fight against rioters. None of the loyal ministers and righteous men in the world admired the most. Not to mention these wealth and goods, it would be a life. If the young master needs it, he would take it away."

Chen Yun also said from the side: "Judge Gao said that after hearing about the deeds of the prince, my lord admired him very much. He often sighed that he was unable to follow the prince and left his name in history. If he heard that we did this, he would definitely be very happy."

Li Yan couldn't refuse and had to put the package in his arms. Although he knew that Chen and Gao must have something to do, he saw that they were so generous and remembered the hardships along the way from Chang'an and the cold treatment he had received in Guangling these days. He couldn't help but feel aroused in his heart, saying, "If there were more loyal ministers like Lu Gong in the world, how could the Tang and the world end up like this? If he could return to the emperor, he would definitely report to the Ming official family and praise Lu Gong's righteous deeds."

Gao and Chen looked at each other. This time they came to Guangling, one to replace Lu Fang, and the other to solve the legality of Lu Fang occupying the lake and Hangzhou. If Yang Xingmi sent another person to Hangzhou, if Lu Fang did not want to break up with Yang Xingmi and openly meet him, he would have to spit out the flesh that had entered his stomach. After Lu Fang conquered Hangzhou, the accumulation of decades of Liangzhe fell into his hands. He was very generous, so he gave them a lot of money to use it for activities in Guangling. However, although Gao and Chen were both first-class talents, they had never been in this officialdom. Such activities were indeed not good at. After seven or eight days, they spent a lot of money, but there was no trace of things. Suddenly, when Li Yan's hope was met, he naturally threw down the gold bullets at all costs.

Li Yan put the package in his arms. As the saying goes, "Eat someone with a soft mouth, and take someone with a short hand." Li Yan suddenly ate such a large piece of pie, and naturally spoke in a different tone. He bowed and said, "I will not receive any reward without any merit. After receiving such a great favor from Mr. Lu, I will say that if there is anything, I will do my best. As long as a family can do it, I will do my best." He was ordered eastward to summon the princes of Jianghuai, attack Zhu Quanzhong, and save the Tang Dynasty from falling. However, in the past six months, the various vassal states have used this name to annex and attack each other, and they have to send troops to attack.

Xuanwu Town, but none of them saved the Tang Dynasty. They all happily accepted the official positions and honors. But when they mentioned the Northern Expedition, they were full of ruling words. He was also a discerning person. He knew that things were no longer possible, and he was not ready to be buried with the Tang Dynasty. He was ready to keep a useful body and do something for a career. If Yang Xingmi recruited him a little, he would have served in Huainan. However, Yang Xingmi just hanged him up and didn't have any authority or salary, making him poor. At present, the two of Chens fell down as soon as they tried to win him over. It was precisely "If you don't leave me here, you will have a place to leave me."

Gao and Chen quickly explained the current situation of Lu Fang and Li Yan in detail. They were not afraid that Li Yan would give these situations. Anyway, Yang Xingmi had heard of their behavior in Guangling these days. After hearing this, Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "In the following point, Mr. Lu was not as good as writing to the King of Wu, saying that Hangzhou's terrain was critical and a large county in the southeast. It was not a respected famous minister, so he could not guard it. Please send someone to the governor of Hangzhou."

Gao Fengtian was stunned and replied, "How can this make our soldiers get Hangzhou through a lot of battles, so how can they hand over it for nothing?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Brother Gao said it well. You have won Hangzhou after a hundred battles. How can others take it without bloody battles? Unless King Yang sends a large army to join him, he will send someone to be the governor. How can he really take charge of a state? It has been more than a month since Lu Gong defeated Qian Miao. If King Wu wants to attack, the navy has already gone down the canal. How can he delay it until today? It is nothing more than worrying that Mr. Lu is too big and has a rebellious heart. If Mr. Lu expresses his attitude and asks King Yang to appoint an important official as the governor of Hangzhou, he has no intention of plotting against him. He will use a lot of money to repay his confidants around King Wu. I believe that the King of Wu will also repay his kindness and submit to the court, and serve as Mr. Lu as the Western Zhejiang Observer."

Gao and Chen thought about it carefully, and the more they thought about it, they felt that Li Yan was right. Although they were extremely talented, they were born into a rash family, unlike Li Yan and the famous family in Guanxi. They could be said to be born and were influenced by these things. The so-called politics is the art of compromise. They are so naughty and resolute, and Li Yan was not as good as these two people. However, when they exchange interests and calculate the bottom line of each other, Gao and Chen were beyond the reach of the world.

"Brother Li is indeed awesome. After we go back, we will send an envoy to send a message back and tell the lord the situation. If this matter is done, the lord will thank you for your kindness." Chen Yun bowed his hand and said,

"No need. Although my family is now in decline, it was also a prominent family in Guanxi in the past. Li was not a greedy person. Lu Gong used troops like Sun Wu. If it was broken down today, it was the time when heroes used their weapons. Please give me the two of you to speak for me and Lu Gong. Yang Xingmi was born in a humble family and knew the hardships of entrepreneurship. There were many heroes under his command. When Huainan was fighting for hegemony, countless people lived and won the hearts of the people. Don't fight with him. Please endure it for a while and wait for the opportunity to achieve great achievements."

In the palace of King Wu, Yang Xingmi sat at the top of the head, and on both sides were the Huainan generals. The first on the left was Tian Wei, the governor of Ningguo. His face seemed to be covered with frost, which was extremely ugly. Even his colleagues toasted him, he just bowed his hands and drank the wine in his glass without a smile. The other generals also knew why he was like this, and they did not touch his bad intentions. For a moment, a cold situation formed beside him.

"Brother Tian, ​​today is the Spring Festival. Why is this? Come and have a drink with me, An Renyi." An Renyi, who was standing beside him, came to smooth things over. Tian Wei couldn't stand his face, so he had to drink a full drink, and a smile appeared on his face.

Yang Xingmi, who was in the upper head, had a pale face and his body became worse and worse. His tall body was now only a bone frame, but his eyes were particularly bright. He saw Tian Wei's behavior, but ignored it, and just slowly sipped the wine in the glass. At this time, he was already a great minister. In the Tang Dynasty, even the great master Guo Ziyi was afraid that he was not as high as his official position at this time. However, judging from his clothes and food, he was still as tall as in Shuzhou in the past, very simple, even more ordinary than many subordinates.

At this moment, a person suddenly came from the hall, but it was Tian Wei's general who came to Tian Wei and whispered: "Lord, someone just came to the inn to ask for a bribe."

"You have to tell me such a small matter, you can do it yourself." Tian Wei was in a bad mood and was bothered by his subordinates, so he scolded him in anger.

"But this time I was not from the Wu King's Mansion, but two prisoners."

"What!" Tian Wei stood up with a loud voice and shouted angrily: "Even a mere prisoner comes to ask me for money. Could it be that he thought I, Tian Wei, would be punished and imprisoned?" Tian Wei threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground and rushed down the hall. When he arrived at the door, he turned around and pointed at the door and said, "Tian will never enter this door again from now on." After that, he left angrily.

Everyone in the hall was stunned and the scene was cold for a long time. After a while, a personal soldier ran to the hall and reported to Yang Xingmi: "Eunuch Tian did not return to the hall, so he left the city from the west gate. He must have returned to Xuanzhou."

Yang Xingmi had no expression on his face, but just waved his hand and asked him to retreat. Xu Wen, the commander of the right yamen on the side, whispered: "This person is so domineering, I'm afraid he should not be the young master."

"He made great contributions. If he was punished without guilt, he was afraid that the generals would not accept it. He would die if he did unrighteous things. Let's wait for him."

Yang Xingmi replied in a low voice, his voice full of coldness.
