Chapter 342 – Guns and Rolling Sands (VIII)

Mi Fengjie, Fan Xiaochai, plus a Xu Beihao.

This is probably the weight of Liyang Chen Shaobao in the minds of the young feudal lords, if not for the second Liangmang war has already kicked off, perhaps at least add a Youzhou general Huangfu Ping.

But it was obvious that this Left Scattered Cavalry Standing Counselor of Menxia Province was not too appreciative.

All the way north, Chen Wang and Xu Beihao did not have any communication, so much so that even Xu Beihao so a with whom all can laugh and joke official wonderful people, in the end also had to call a stagecoach with a post house a stagecoach, and simply and the two whisk water room spies side by side, out of sight, out of mind.

Before Xu Beihao’s departure, Xu Fengyen didn’t have too many instructions, just let him accompany Chen Wang into his hometown in Youzhou, and even the intention of pulling together didn’t reveal the slightest bit, giving Xu Beihao a sentence: no matter what this person does in the territory of Youzhou, all ignore it. Naturally, Xu Beihao knew clearly that Chen Wang had a hidden relationship with Beiliang, and had no objection to it. In fact, if someone else came to be a companion, he might really do bad things with good intentions. Beiliang road officialdom, may never understand Xu Fengyen to Chen Wang the subtle mentality of the northern Liang scholar, more will not know this decade, Chen Wang to the northern Liang contribution in the end how big, more will not know Chen Wang to the northern Liang disappointment in the end how big, the key is this disappointment, the two sides in fact, there is no right and wrong, which is the most fatal.

In the twilight, passing by a small post house named Ruyi, Chen Wang got off the bus and walked into the post house together with the quiet young eunuch, Xu Beihao three people also handed their mounts to the postman to send to the stables to feed, tonight, if there is no accident, they will be staying here. Because Mi Fengjie showed the token of the water room, Ruyi post house was particularly attentive, the specifications of food and lodging are in accordance with the treatment of the border army lieutenant to do, for the Beiliang large and small post houses, the spies of the two rooms of the Eagle and the water room can be regarded as a rare guest, but as long as they show their identities, they are often the roles of the military affairs, and they can not be slowed down. According to the law of Northern Liang, in emergency state, the person who can temporarily mobilize the post rider to deliver military information or take over the force of the post house is only the spy of the two houses in addition to the general who has the jurisdiction of the whole territory within a state.

There were still about two days to go before Chen Wang’s hometown, and since Xu Beihao didn’t have to follow this Chen Shaobao back to his hometown, the former Lingshu governor, who was jokingly called “Chen Shaobao of Northern Liang”, once again brought a pot of green ant wine to Chen Wang.

Strangely enough, every time Chen Wang stayed at the post house, he chose to rest inside the post building, which was definitely not a good place to sleep, even though he could climb up and see the distance.

When Xu Beihao found Chen Wang, the latter was gazing into the distance from the window, waiting for Xu Beihao to find a simple stool to sit down, Chen Wang came back to his senses, apologized and smiled, and then sat directly on the edge of the wooden bed that was temporarily put up by the post house, the bedding and other things that were prepared in haste were brand new and clean, it was hard to imagine that a yellow and purple minister who was famous in the imperial court and had already been ranked in the center of the country was living in this slightly cramped and gloomy place, and he, Chen Wang, was not a person who had been relegated by the imperial court. He Chen Wang is not the one who has been relegated by the court to a cold border place.

Xu Beihao shook the wine pot and asked with a smile, “Not drinking? If you don’t drink, it’ll be me drinking alone again.”

Chen Wang hesitated and shook his head, “There are many banquets in the capital, but I rarely drink, the reason for this, with Mr. Great Wisdom, you should be able to understand.”

Xu Beihao laughed: “But is it really not to your hometown?”

Chen Wang still shook his head and said, “People like me are most afraid of the word ‘what if’, over time, habits become nature, Mr. bear with me.”

Xu Beihao said helplessly, “No wonder there is only one Chen Shaobao in Liyang.”

Chen Wang made a rare joke, “And who is the ‘Northern Liang Chen Shaobao’ talking about?”

Xu Beihao took a sip of green ant wine and wiped his mouth, “Even Lord Chen has heard of my name, Xu Beihao?”

Chen Wang nodded, “I hope Mr. Xu doesn’t find it an insulting statement.”

Xu Beihuan smiled and said, “Although I don’t feel honored to the core, I wouldn’t feel it’s an insult to me, Xu Beihuan, I’ve only had a sip of this wine, so this isn’t a drunken statement, it’s a heartfelt statement.”

Chen Wang looked at this young but rough experience Bei Liang outsider, softly laughed: “Mr. in the imperial court Ministry of mandarins and the Ministry of household side have a thick archive of secret records, I have flipped through many times …… since Mr. said that this place is the ‘hometown’ Since Mr. said that this is the ‘hometown’, then I will make an exception to borrow Mr.’s intention to say some of my wine words well, since the Xiang Fu, the capital officialdom over there privately have a new custom, that is, to the North Liang Road civil officials ranked seating, according to the academic knowledge, talent, prestige, family history, including a total of eight categories, to the North Liang Road civil officials to a actually destined to never be the turn of the Ministry of Justice to intervene in the ‘local evaluation’, and Mr. high ranking in the ‘local evaluation’, and Mr. high ranking in the ‘local evaluation’, and Mr. high ranking in the ‘local evaluation’. ‘, and Mr. high on the list, deputy secretary Song Dongming, secretary Li Gongde, Liujiu State Buyei Chen Xiliang, Youzhou assassin Song Yan, Qinglu Cave Academy mountain master Huang Shang, by Yao Baifeng known as the three assassins of the talent of Wang Xihua, etc., followed, of course, now in the top of the list, there is an additional emergence of Mr. White Lotus, but still after Mr. . ”

Chen Wang slightly pause, gazing at the eyes of this slowly drinking green ant wine in front of the former North Mang North Court King of the first grandson, slowly said: “so Mr. name, in Tai’an City is far more than Mr. imagine to be more like a thunderclap, I have had a calculation, raise the God Hall of the small court, His Majesty’s personal mention of the Northern Liang officials, Mr. number of times, is much better than others. I even once laughed with Yin Maochun, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and said that if Mr. Yin could be recruited into the capital in the third year of Xiangfu, then Yin Maochun would not have to be on duty at the Ministry of Revenue for half a year in the entire four years of Xiangfu.”

Xu Beihao stretched out his fingers to wipe the wine stains around his mouth and tsked, “This guy Xu Fengyen is really unorthodox, all these things must have been recorded on the side of the whisking water room, but he never mentioned half a word to me.”

Chen Wang laughed and asked, “Just don’t ask me why I’m talking about this with you sir?”

Xu Beihao said with bravado, “There is no need to ask, I know that Lord Chen is not that kind of lobbyist, and I think Lord Chen also knows that I, Xu Beihao, can’t be a slave of the Three Surnames, and that working for that fellow surnamed Xu in Qingliang Mountain, and ideally being able to be the Secretary of the Northern Liang Dao in my lifetime, is already the last remaining bit of hope in this life.”

Chen Wang shook his head and said, “Mister is wrong, I, Chen Wang, in both public and private matters, actually hope that Mister will be able to go to Tai’an City.”

Xu Beihao’s wine pot was just lifted and put down again, his eyes instantly cold and sharp, staring at this Chen Shao Bao, who was claimed to be more useful than the Zhongshu Order in Liyang’s officialdom, and coldly laughed, “It is indeed surprising that Lord Chen is so bent on serving the country.”

Chen Wang blandly said, “In my opinion, Bei Liang can eventually win against Bei Mang just as well with less Mr. Chen, but the presence of an extra Xu Bei Hoan in Li Yang’s courtroom, who is regarded as the arm of the Bei Liang King, is able to set the hearts of the Central Plains at ease!”

Xu Beihao’s heart shook, “Over in Tai’an City, it’s already so chaotic?”

Chen Wang did not speak, his face heavy.

Xu Beihao stood up, put the wine pot with half a pot of green ants left on the stool, turned around and then said, “Thank you for these words, Lord Chen.”

There were some words that a dragonfly’s splash of ripples could be viewed across the entirety of the ocean.

Chen Wang’s words seemed to be talking about Xu Beihao alone, but in reality, it was revealing the general situation of the capital or the entire Central Plains.

The premise of how Beiliang would choose next would be based on these words that made clear the bottom line in the heart of the Liyang court.

Chen Wang did not get up to see him off, nor did he look at Xu Beihe’s back, and said a digression, “Help me send a message to the King of Beiliang, back then, he shouldn’t have stood by coldly.”

Xu Bei Hoven stopped walking, “At that time, if Flick Water Room had made a move for that woman, today, Lord Chen wouldn’t have had the chance to sit here. Perhaps Lord Chen does not know, Liyang Zhaohou has been staring at that woman for twelve whole years, and it is even highly likely that those several powerful and noble sons of Youzhou were also secretly encouraged and compelled by Zhaohou, and once the whisking room rashly intervened, Lord Chen’s identity was bound to be leaked along with it. Beiliang’s suffering ……”

After saying this, Xu Beihao did not continue to speak, saying it again would be redundant.

Chen Wang stood up and stood at the window, silent.

Waiting for Xu Beihao to leave for many hours, Chen Wang always gazed into the distance.

Look at this hometown one eye, two eyes, three eyes, a hundred eyes, a thousand eyes, ten thousand eyes.

All of them could no longer see her.

Can’t see her looking at herself when she looks up while she is reading.

Readers are all negative people, the most negative obsessed people.

His eyes were misty with tears, and his lips moved slightly.

I, Chen Wang, only wish that I had not been nominated in the high list that year, and only wish that I had returned to my hometown in a gloomy manner that year.

There is a water well on the corner outside the Ruyi Post House, with a huge wheel on the well platform, requiring two strong men to turn up a bucket of water.

The young eunuch who served as Chen Wang’s coachman, after stepping out of the post house alone and seeing this well, which was not common in the Central Plains, did not move a step and stared curiously at the large wheel, as if such a crude and unattractive rustic object was even more appealing than the lofty halls in the palace in Tai’an City, the imperial gardens filled with flowers, and the sky-high trees that were older than Li Yang.

A short time later, a young man with a sword dangling from his waist came to the well.

The two men were within half a dozen feet of each other.

The visitor’s life hung in the balance.

Even if he was Xu Fengnian.
