Heaven and earth return to one

At this time, Li Yunke was lying in the main tent of Zhang Lixin's camp, receiving treatment from several military doctors.

He was picked up by Zhang Lixin, who was fifty miles away after receiving the news, and he didn't have the strength to talk about the alliance. He was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he entered the account.

Zhang Lixin asked someone to arrange accommodation for the five guards who came with him. While the military doctor was treating Li Yunke, he met Qin Shaoshang and Qin Shaojun in private to learn about the situation on the road.

Li Yunke woke up in the evening, the tent was very quiet, and the lights were a little dim, which made him feel a rare sense of relief after being tired all the way.

He turned over and was about to stretch when he heard someone talking next to him.

"woke up?"

Li Yunke finished stretching his laziness, looked towards the end of the bed in a calm manner, stared at the man's face for a long time, and said: "Li Xin, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are much more handsome. Everyone said Cang Xun Water and soil support people, it seems true, when I retire, I will also bring your sister-in-law and little nephew to live here."

Zhang Lixin: "..."

Li Yunke sat up, "What do the military doctors say, my poison is hard to cure, right?"

Zhang Lixin frowned and then relaxed, saying: "There will be a way."

Li Yunke smiled indifferently, "It's just an occasional pain, so it shouldn't kill me soon. When something like this happens, I'm really afraid that someone will worry, so I will go back with the guards following me. I went to Zhuangzi to pass the news."

Zhang Lixin had already heard about the birth of Xiao Shizi from the brothers of the Qin family, and now he heard that he was obviously showing off, his slightly indifferent handsome face softened, and said: "I haven't congratulated you yet, brother."

"I accept," Li Yunke moved over with the quilt in his arms, and patted him on the shoulder, "When you are the second uncle, remember to back up the gift."

Zhang Lixin pouted, "Prince Duan's mansion is already this poor?"

The two stared at each other for a while, and laughed at the same time, one of them stretched out a fist, and bumped into each other lightly, one called "big brother", and the other called "good brother".

——These two are friends of eight worshippers, except for You Qi, no one in the world knows about it.

Zhang Lixin poured him a glass of warm water and asked, "Brother, what happened to the attack? Shaoshang Shaojun said that the people who assassinated you wore white clothes and used hidden weapons..."

Li Yunke drank half a glass of water, saw that he was hesitant and did not continue, and asked doubtfully, "What?"

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like Cang Xun's killer?" Zhang Lixin said in a strange tone.

Li Yunke looked at him with searching eyes, "Yes or no, it makes a big difference to you?"

Zhang Lixin looked straight into his eyes and said with certainty, "It can't be him."

Li Yunke was taken aback by his disturbance, "Who?"

"Mr. Cang Xun," Zhang Lixin said, "he will not issue such an order."

Li Yunke blinked twice, "Didn't Shaoshang and Shaojun tell you my guess?"

"Ok?"

Li Yunke returned the cup to him, "I didn't think it was Cang Xunjun who sent someone to kill me, the suspects were always from Beimo."

Zhang Lixin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I didn't hear what they said was too detailed, because I was concerned about your illness, so I came here after asking a few questions."

Li Yunke rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes and said, "However, you really trust that Lord Cang Xun, do you have any friendship?"

Zhang Lixin paused, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, he turned his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I have been in the southern border for so long, and I have a better grasp of his movements."

Li Yunke didn't delve into it, and said: "Now that the people from Beimo are also involved, the situation may become more and more chaotic. I didn't expect this day to come so soon, and I didn't prepare enough. I will inevitably have to work hard for you."

"Cang Xun will never attack us, so it's not a big problem." Zhang Lixin said.

Li Yunke looked at him unexpectedly, "How do you know?"

"After the elder brother met Mr. Cang Xun as an envoy, I will arrange another meeting with no one else for you. Everyone sit down and speak clearly." Zhang Lixin got up, "Let's not talk about this now, Shaoshang Shaojun said to me, The assassins have discovered them, will the matter of Youqi be exposed to the emperor?"

Li Yunke shook his head, "Thinking too much, the first thing that comes to mind in that situation shouldn't be someone I raised secretly, but the heroes of the rivers and lakes who see injustice and draw their swords to help, right?"

Zhang Lixin thought for a while, nodded and said, "That makes sense, I'll ask someone to spread the news."

"Don't be busy, ask someone to get me something delicious first, I'm starving to death."

After Zhang Lixin went out, Li Yunke lay on the bed for a while, then got up and went outside the tent.

His camp was set up on a somewhat high ground, across a small valley, facing the towering city gate of Cangxun's 36 states.The emerald green stretches out far along the valley, and under the reflection of the setting sun, it glows with vitality.

Li Yunke looked around and saw that almost ten feet of the camp had been cleaned up, not even a single guard.

It doesn't seem like Zhang Lixin changed it because he was afraid of being disturbed after he came here to make it easier for You Qi to come and go, but that's how he has lived all along.

But why?

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was another very slight sound from the tent.

Li Yunke moved his body that was lying hard, turned around and returned to the tent, and saw Qin Shaoshang and Qin Shaojun appearing without any surprise, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"When the master was resting, we went to Cang Xun to meet Rong Yan," Qin Shaoshang said, "He said that something big happened to Cang Xun just yesterday."

Rong Yan is one of the Eighteen Guards of Youqi, one of the people sent by Li Yunke to shop Zhuangzi in Cangxun.

Li Yunke sat down, "What's the matter?"

Qin Shaojun said: "It is said that Lord Cangxun's fourth uncle, Yin Baizhu, openly announced his rebellion in Qingzhou three days ago, and he is approaching the royal city of Baozhou. He wants to force Lord Cangxun to abdicate in the name of tampering with the imperial edict."

"Oh?" Li Yunke crossed his arms and thought, "It's really not a trivial matter, but it might be beneficial to us."

Qin Shaoshang understood what he meant, "Cang Xun has internal troubles, and he definitely doesn't want to cause more foreign troubles. Talking about an alliance with them at this time will surely go well."

"But didn't it mean that Yin Baizhu was planning a rebellion in Qingzhou not long after the previous king took the throne, before Lord Cang Xun was born?" Qin Shaojun felt that things were not optimistic, "He has held back for more than twenty years, raising soldiers One million, I'm afraid Cang Xun Jun is not his opponent?"

If this is the case, then the Cangxun Lord and Cangxun finally negotiated an alliance, and Cangxun's 36 states changed masters in a short time. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Li Yunke smiled and said, "Interesting."

The sound of footsteps outside the tent approached, Qin Shaoshang Qin Shaojun glanced at each other, and got out through the opening made earlier in the back of the tent.

Zhang Lixin came in with the freshly prepared meal and said, "What's so interesting?"

Li Yunke didn't reach out to pick it up, and watched him put down the tray with food to tidy up the small table in the corner, and put the dishes on it again, saying: "It's an honor to have the majestic commander serve me the food. "

Zhang Lixin accepted the offer calmly, "It is the honor of the general that the dignified prince is willing to live in the general's small tent."

Li Yunke was already hungry, so he stuffed a chopstick of food into his mouth, chewed slowly and gave a thumbs up in satisfaction, "No wonder you speak more smoothly after staying in the southern border for a few years, so it's the food here It's delicious."

Zhang Lixin: "..."

Li Yunke didn't care whether he had eaten his meal or not, he ate vigorously with a bowl in his hand, he didn't look like a prince at all.

"Brother," Zhang Lixin poured himself a cup of tea, rubbed his fingers against the rim of the teacup, and said, "I'd better say hello to you first, the southern border may not be peaceful."

Li Yunke didn't even raise his eyelids, and said, "Because of Yin Baizhu's rebellion?"

Zhang Lixin was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "Brother's news is really well-informed."

"I'm just a little weird." Li Yunke put down his rice bowl, poked the soft rice with his chopsticks, and said with a half-smile, "You know that Cang Xun is going to change the sky, but you said that you arranged for me to meet Cang Xun in secret in order to form an alliance as soon as possible something?"

Zhang Lixin took a sip of the spring, and his back straightened unconsciously.

"You want Chengning to also participate in this Cang Xun royal dispute, and you have already decided to stand on the side of the current Cang Xun Lord, don't you?" Li Yunke slapped his chopsticks on the table with an expression Sternly, "Don't you admit that you have any private friendship with Mr. Cang Xun?"

Zhang Lixin stood up, took a step back, knelt down on one knee and said, "The general swears to heaven that he will never do anything to offend Chengning!"

Li Yunke stared at his face calmly, "Do you recognize it?"

Zhang Lixin's expression was magnanimous, without any change in his expression, "The last general has some friendship with him, but that has nothing to do with the major affairs of the two countries."

Li Yunke smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull him up, saying: "You don't need such a big convenience, but it's too stupid!"

Zhang Lixin didn't understand what he was saying.

"What I mean is," Li Yunke looked at him helplessly, "you and Mr. Cang Xun don't just talk about personal affairs, but also seek convenience in business affairs."

The corners of Zhang Lixin's mouth twitched unconsciously, and said, "What do you mean by having an affair?"

Li Yunke sat down and continued to eat, "I have heard some rumors before that Yin Baizhu exploited the people of Qingzhou very seriously, and later he expanded his domain, and more people suffered under his rule .”

Zhang Lixin picked up his teacup again, "It's true, Yin Baizhu is cruel, and he holds countless lives in his hands."

"Let's not talk about who is more beneficial to us to form an alliance with," Li Yunke said. "First of all, the people cannot be handed over to such a cruel person to rule, no matter whether they are the people of our Chengning, do you think so?"

A very shallow smile appeared on Zhang Lixin's lips, "Yes, even if it's not now, it will be sooner or later. You can't leave a mess for yourself to clean up in the future."
