Mr. Liu didn't know why, but he also took it and looked through it one by one. When he found the contract signed by Yao Jin, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Yao's family? Isn't Yao Yuanwai far away in Chang'an?"

Mr. Liu was surprised for a moment, but then he understood, couldn't help laughing and said: "This member Yao is also very courageous, he never went to His Highness's banquet in person, and only sent a concubine to come, so he dared to sign such a contract." It is an important contract, His Highness really chose Yao Yuanwai right, he is smart, but also easy to control, overtly and secretly, he has helped His Highness a lot."

"So it was a surprise," Xie Jing'an said with a smile, "I originally thought that members of Yao could not come, so this time the chamber of commerce would have to spend more time talking, but I didn't expect that Yao Jin was exactly like his father, and he cooperated very well with this king." There is a tacit understanding, and it took almost no effort to convince the merchants, but the aristocratic family..."

Xie Jing'an remembered the twists and turns at the banquet, and his complexion was a bit ugly. Those aristocratic families knew that the Chen family had now taken refuge in him, but they still insulted him like this. It is conceivable that they didn't take him seriously.

These partial branches of aristocratic families may also represent the attitudes of those main branches in Chang'an City. Although he doesn't care too much, as long as it doesn't affect his construction of fiefs, it's fine to pretend to be a snake, but he is still a little annoyed in his heart. It seems that the Liu family The end hasn't made them sober yet, it's time to collect some of their tricks, and give them both grace and strength.

Xie Jing'an was thinking in his heart, and he told about the humiliation of Mrs. Chen at the banquet by a younger generation of the Zhang family. Liu Zhubo's face darkened when he heard it, and he snorted coldly: "These aristocratic families, If you are really stubborn, you will not shed tears when you see the coffin, His Highness should catch the most tails, and scare them by killing chickens and monkeys."

Xie Jingan's heart was moved by what was said, but after careful consideration, he shook his head and said: "No, the Liu family has already made them extremely vigilant, I'm afraid they will not be able to deter them, and instead they will be united in the same hatred. Even if there are a few Chen families , It’s not a big deal, but it’s true that they can’t indulge them any longer, so as not to make them think that the king is weak and can be bullied, and make things worse, but this matter needs to be discussed in the long run, let me consider it carefully.”

Seeing that Xie Jingan didn't accept his suggestion, Master Liu knew that Xie Jingan had made up his mind, so he didn't try to persuade him much, but said: "Everything is according to His Highness."

After finishing the digression, Xie Jing'an discussed with Liu Zhubo and set a date for the departure of the military supply team. Now it is not far from the spring plowing, and there will be a lot of delay on the road. If it is later, I am afraid that it will not be able to make repairs before the barbarians attack. The walls are gone.

The day of departure was scheduled for tomorrow morning. Although the military supplies were fully prepared, and all the escorts on the road were selected, there were still many things to prepare. Mr. Liu was in a hurry to go back to work, so he didn't stay much. In a hurry, he asked Xie Jingan to resign.

Xie Jing'an was also in a hurry to see his boyfriend, so he didn't keep him, but only encouraged him a few words, and promised to go to see the departure team early tomorrow morning, and let Liu Zhubo go.

After asking Cui Tong to send Liu Zhubo out, Xie Jing'an urged his servants to pack up a few gifts for the Zhao family, most of them were herbal supplements, and some perfumes and soaps produced in the workshop. Sending white wine, after all, warriors are good at wine, but thinking of Zhao Duizheng's injury and his temper, he decided to give up, and just replaced it with a few horses of good clothes brought from Chang'an, added some jewelry for the female family members, and went out Riding a horse, and bringing the guards with him, he set off in a rather mighty way.

At that time, Lin Yan was chatting with Zhao Dui.

After recovering from his injuries for a few months, Zhao Duizheng was able to walk around the ground every day except for a very few times. The rest of the time he was lying on the bed. The soup and soup for body repairing were delivered to his room without money, not only making his complexion ruddy , even his stature is much wider, coupled with his rather handsome face, he doesn't look like a young general, but rather like a suave and suave son of an aristocratic family.

Lin Yan and Zhao Duzheng were about the same age, and they also had a friendship with them when they suppressed bandits and communists together, so even though they had a stable temperament and didn't joke easily, seeing him like this, he couldn't help joking a few words.

When he was in the government office, Zhao Dui was using him as an official, and privately regarded him as a friend. Hearing what he said, his complexion turned dark, and he said angrily: "You are still laughing at me. If it were you, It's not much better, it's just a few inches thicker waist and a little whiter face, after I practice martial arts for a few days and get exposed to the wind and sun for a while, it will be the same as before."

Zhao Dui was saying a few words angrily, then remembered something, his eyes lit up, fearing that Lin Yan would run away and grabbed his sleeve, he couldn't wait to say: "The general came just in time, I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, The bones of my body are rusted, I am afraid that my martial arts are also unfamiliar, the general came here just in time to have a sparring session with me."

As he spoke, he asked his servants to fetch his knife, and he himself stood up and wanted to go out. Seeing this, Lin Yan hurriedly pulled him away, and said with a smile: "It seems that I will disappoint Captain Zhao today. This is not to compete with you, but to be invited by your wife and Mrs. Zhao to persuade you."

"Persuade me?" Captain Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he said helplessly: "General, don't trust them, they just make a fuss. As a general, how can I make my martial arts unfamiliar? This is the ability to save my life on the battlefield. It was just a few days ago, the injury was too serious and I couldn’t get up, but now I’m all healed, why do you still want to stop me, now I’m just stopping me from practicing martial arts, will I be stopped from going to the battlefield in the future? This Don't open the mouth, the general don't listen to them."

Zhao Duizheng guessed that this period of time was really depressed for a long time. Hearing Lin Yan's words, he started talking non-stop. Lin Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and persuaded: "They are only worried about your body. It's so serious, I'm afraid you think too much, if you really don't want you to go to the battlefield, then when you follow me to the north to suppress the bandits, I should stop you."

"Didn't I get injured back then?" Captain Zhao said, "Besides, they tried to persuade me then, but they just couldn't hold me back."

Zhao Dui was a little annoyed as he was talking, and he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't mention these troubles, the general finally came here, and it doesn't matter if you can't compete with me, then tell me well, I have been recuperating these days, What orders did His Highness issue, and what's new in the city, when can we fight again?"

I'm afraid that the former is just curiosity, and the last sentence is what I really want to ask. Lin Yan glanced at him with a smile, but did not expose it. While eating tea and snacks, he slowly and carefully described what happened in the city during this period. I said it again.

Team Zhao was still calm at the beginning, but when he heard that King Shun had expanded his recruitment and Lin Yan was training the new army, he was so excited that he stood up from his chair, looked at Lin Yan with burning eyes and said, "Your Highness really expanded his recruitment!" One thousand new troops? Then the general wants to assist the general in training, can the general agree?"

If it was in the past, Lin Yan would naturally have wished for it, but now that his injury has not fully healed, and his wound has ruptured because of martial arts practice, Lin Yan does not want his Mrs. Zhao to cry in front of him, so he only hesitated for a moment. He shook his head and said: "That's all, this training of recruits is not something that can be done in a day, and it will take at least a year for them to go to the battlefield, and the days are very long, you should heal your injuries and wait Your wound has completely healed, even if you refuse, I have to ask His Highness to bring you here, with your help, I will be like a tiger with wings."

These few words of praise from Lin Yan failed to appease Duizheng Zhao's fiery heart. When he heard that he didn't want to let him help, he froze immediately. Why are men so worried and worried like women and girls, and they are not as straightforward as they used to be. Besides, they are just training recruits, and they are just urging them on the sidelines, and they don’t need me to go off in person, so what’s the problem with recuperating? The general is really worried, so he just sent that fool Xu to watch me from the sidelines, he always sees that I am not going well, but if I don't respect the general's order, he will report to the general as soon as he is sure."

Hearing Dui Zhao burying his colleagues like this, Lin Yan laughed and said: "Duer Xu is the same patrolling guard as you after all, it's just that you don't get along with him on weekdays, why did you give him such a name behind his back? He is a bit dull, but he is very good at martial arts, and he is really a strong general. How come you call him a fool. I would look at him, but he is not a stupid person. You are too..."

Captain Zhao snorted and said: "The general said he was a fool, but he was just mocking him. The general saw that he was not dull. If the general hadn't been smart, he might have snatched the mission of going north to investigate last time. Well, the last general didn't bother with him because he was with him in patrolling the city guard office, but when he didn't want to suppress the bandits, he actually snatched the head from the late general, and even taunted the late general after the battle, saying The general has three heads less than him, isn't this at odds with the last general?"

He thought that these two people had a close relationship in the past, but why did they go north to suppress the bandits, and they became like fire and water. It turns out that the key is here.

No matter how you say it, they are two big men who got married and set up a business, and they also had a life-threatening friendship on the battlefield. With such a childlike temperament, Lin Yan really didn't know what to say. He was about to explain a few words when he saw The steward of Zhao's family rushed into the flower hall in a panic, and he didn't have time to wipe off his brow of sweat. He said in panic, "General Lin, master, the door of the outer courtyard is here to report, His Royal Highness Shun Wang has come to see the master."

Prince Shun is here?Dui Zhao felt overwhelmed, overwhelmed by flattery, and didn't know how to laugh anymore. The idea of ​​reprimanding the manager for not being prudent just now had disappeared. He stood up in a panic even more than him, and said repeatedly: "Then what are you waiting for? Come with me, and invite His Royal Highness King Shun to come in."

As he was about to leave, he thought of something, and ordered: "Let the kitchen get ready, and they must use their whole bodies to organize a table that satisfies His Highness, or let them go back and forth from where they came from after today." where to go."

After ordering the table, they began to arrange tea and snacks. They were still debating whether to let the female relatives come out to meet them. They were so anxious that they completely forgot about Lin Yan who was sitting on the side.

Lin Yan was not annoyed at all. He was a little surprised by Xie Jingan's sudden visit to Zhao's house, but also expected it. After all, he only mentioned it a few days ago, and His Highness promised him that he would come to Zhao's house together with him, but in recent days Busy, His Highness didn't mention it all the time, he thought he had forgotten, but he didn't expect that His Highness would arrive just after he came. Doesn't this just mean that His Highness has always remembered it in his heart?

Thinking that he took time out of his busy schedule to fulfill his promise, Lin Yan felt happy, and with a natural smile on his face, he stood up and comforted Dui Zhao: "Don't worry, Your Highness is gentle, and won't just because of If the noodles you prepared in the kitchen are not to your taste, then you are not satisfied, the most urgent thing is to invite His Highness in first, and then talk about other things."

Duizheng Zhao suddenly came to a sudden, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and asked the steward to see if his hair was straight today. Seeing that there was nothing impolite, he pulled Lin Yan and said: "Your Highness values ​​Lin Yan the most. General, General Lin happened to be going with me, and tell me on the way, what taboos does His Highness have?"

Seeing Dui Zhao's nervous and expectant look, Lin Yan knew that no matter how much he comforted him, it would be useless, so he could only walk out together with him, talking about Xie Jingan's disposition and preferences while walking.
