Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 497 The Li family comes to vote
The banquet hall in the backyard of Shuofei County Yamen.

Hearing Zuo Lianglun's words, Yue Ruyan's slender eyes flashed with panic, and she said coldly: "Master Marquis, is he willing to take me in?"

"General Yue, please sit down and let's chat while we eat." Zuo Lianglun gave up.

Yue Ruyan frowned, and sat down behind the desk like a man, with a crisp metallic sound coming from the friction of the nails.

"The Marquis said that what happened before was a misunderstanding. The Marquis specially ordered me to apologize for General Yue. The Marquis also said that General Yue first led the army to resist the seven kingdoms of Xirong, resisted the invasion of foreign enemies, and defended the majesty of the Song Dynasty. , later fought against Jin Xia and refused to surrender. He was strong-willed and unyielding. He was a hero among women and was admirable.

Now I heard that General Yue admires someone, which is really an honor for someone. Since General Yue is willing to entrust his life to someone, he will definitely live up to his beauty in this life. When someone returns home in triumph, he will carry a big sedan chair to marry General Yue. Zuo Lianglun said on behalf of Chen Mo.

Hearing this, Yue Ruyan's delicate body hidden in her armor trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but hold the wine baron on the table with a little force with her five fingers.

In fact, when she agreed to Zuo Lianglun before, Yue Ruyan still felt a bit lucky. She felt that Zuo Lianglun had made his own decision, and Chen Mo, as a young prince and the lord of the four states, should not do it at this time. "coercion", and then vetoed what Zuo Lianglun proposed.

Or Chen Mo would pretend to be polite and refuse, such as "I have taken my wife, how can I wrong General Yue?" Then she would take advantage of Chen Mo's pretense, take it as the truth, and solve the matter.

But Chen Mo was not polite at all, which completely ended any luck in her heart.

"I'm still wondering why King Huai sent an army to raid Huaizhou, how could he not capture a small Yi County? As the in-laws of King Huai, how could Li Mingzhong and Li Mingfan suddenly switch sides? It turns out it's you, old guy, who is here."

At that time, Geng Songfu also said that he wanted to give him a surprise. What did he take it for?

It was Wu Yanqing who broke the embarrassment in advance and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, we haven't seen each other for decades. We need to have a good drink today."

Both of them had served as officials in the imperial court when they were young, and they even visited brothels together, so they were considered like-minded.

Because their daughters are now the women of the same man.

I didn’t expect it to be Wu Yanqing.

When the two of them drank bowl after bowl, they inevitably talked about Chen Mo.

After some pleasantries, the two felt a little awkward again.

The two hadn't seen each other for decades.

"Come here, serve the wine." Wu Yanqing said loudly.

After Xiao Jing was ready, he immediately came to Huaizhou, met Geng Songfu, and under the arrangement of the other party, came to Yixian County.

Later, after they each inherited the position of head of the family, they lost contact with each other.

Greedy, lustful, treacherous, good wife
Yue Ruyan took a sip of her wine and said, "Let's discuss personal matters later. How does Mr. Zuo plan to resist the Jin Xia army coming from Longyou?"

"This matter is not within my scope of authority. General Yue has to ask General Li. Let's talk about this private matter." Zuo Lianglun said with a smile.

Yi County.

"Drink to your heart's content." Xiao Jing also tacitly refused to mention the matter and laughed.

Zuo Lianglun naturally noticed the subtle changes in Yue Ruyan and said deliberately: "Congratulations to General Yue for your wish coming true."

Huaizhou.

Although Wu Yanqing had known that Xiao Jing would come, when they actually met, he was still stunned for a while, then laughed, held Xiao Jing's hand, and started talking happily.

But Yue Ruyan was not at all happy. Although Chen Mo's name was very resounding, his strength and status were extremely enviable, and his reputation in the hearts of the people was not bad, but his personal ethics were not. good.

Xiao Jing looked at Wu Yanqing for a while before speaking.

Xiao Jing wiped the wine on his beard and said: "Brother Wu is really good at recognizing people. Brother Wu caught the eye of Taiwei, a latent dragon. He even broke the tradition of Jiangdong girls not marrying and gave his daughter to him. Promise.”

Wu Yanqing put down the wine bowl. He had no choice but to do this marriage before, but now it seems that it is indeed a good marriage. He smiled and said: "Why Jiangdong girls don't marry outsiders? That's all passed down by outsiders. How can it be true?" This is the same thing with Brother Xiao."

Xiao Jing sighed and said: "I am different. My daughter is married for the second time, and she is just the concubine of the Taiwei."

"Brother Xiao, what you said is wrong. With the current status of the Marquis, there is not much difference between a wife and a concubine. And I think the war in the north is going well. When the Marquis comes back this time, he will definitely be made a Duke. There is a big difference between a wife and a concubine, and what Wu Yanqing said at this time was all flattering.

"Oh, let's not talk anymore. Let's drink and drink." Xiao Jing poured wine into the bowl, then raised it and said, "With this relationship, our two families will move around more in the future."

"Come on, do it."

Just as the two of them were clinking their wine bowls, Liu Ji walked in with a smile and said, "The two old masters are drinking."

"Who is this?" Xiao Jing has been staying in Jiangnan and has not had any contact with Liu Ji.

"Brother Xiao, come, let me introduce you to Liu Ji. The last victory in Yixian County was exactly his plan." Wu Yanqing smiled.

"So you are Liu Ji"

Although Xiao Jing had not been in contact with Liu Ji, Xiao Quan had been in contact with him and told him about this person.

"Master Xiao." Liu Ji saluted Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing nodded.

"Sir, you are here just in time. Brother Xiao just came from Jiangnan today. You and I will have a drink together." Wu Yanqing said with a smile.

Liu Ji bowed his hand to Wu Yanqing again: "Master Wu, I have come to report something important."

"Oh." Wu Yanqing became interested.

"The Li family sent someone here," Liu Ji said.

Wu Yanqing was stunned: "Which Li family?"

"It's Li Mingfan's family." Liu Ji said.

Wu Yanqing raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"The Li family plans to seek refuge with the Marquis and act as his internal correspondent. They also revealed to us that Chu Ce has returned from Longyou and may attack Huaizhou soon," Liu Ji said.

"Believable?"

"We can get in touch first."

……

Linzhou.

Xiangyang.

Outside the Pingtinghou Mansion.

A man dressed in ordinary clothes wanted to enter the Hou Mansion, but was stopped by the guards.

"Stop, who is coming?" the Marquis defended.

"I am a relative of your Marquis. I have something to see Your Highness, the Princess." The man said.

"There is no princess in the Marquis Mansion, please leave quickly," the guard said.

"How is it possible that there is no Princess Chu Juan, the daughter of Prince Huai, Princess Chu Juan?" the man asked again.

"So you want to see Madam Ninth." The guard muttered, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly drew his sword and pointed it at the man: "You are from Prince Huai."

Madam Ninth is the daughter of King Huai. He claims to be a relative of King Huai, but he is not from King Huai.

The guards immediately became alert.
