Chapter 84

In the following week, Yize County was calm.

Li Bai, however, traveled all the way to the capital of God, and found a random inn to stay.

In the next few days, Li Bai was not in a hurry to meet Changsun Yun. Instead, he found a small secluded courtyard and rented it as his foothold in the Shendu while traveling around the Shendu.

Li Bai even bought an old slave from Ren Yazi, an old woman who washed and cooked, and took care of his daily life, just like a sword fairy who returned from a tour.

After all, having been the King of Qin for several years, Qian Yuan still has some resources in the capital of God.

But Qianyuan was not going to open up these resources to Li Bai, not because he was reluctant, but because he didn't want his enemies in Shendu to suspect Li Bai through these clues, which would be counterproductive.

After settling down, Li Bai sent invitations to Changsun's Mansion and Princess Qingcheng's Mansion respectively, and he was not in a hurry.

Li Bai was waiting for an opportunity.

…………

Changsun House.

In the quiet study room, Changsun Yun felt a little flustered after reading Li Bai's greeting card and Qian Yuan's reply letter presented along with the greeting card.

Changsun Yun was not only curious about the capable people and strangers appearing around Qianyuan, but also excited about Qianyuan's ambition revealed in his letter, and at the same time a little scared.

People who have not experienced family upheavals cannot understand Changsun Yun's fear.

After the death of the elder sister, Empress Changsun, the Changsun family seemed to have lost the pillar of the sky. The seemingly glamorous appearance was gradually peeled off, revealing the dilapidated cotton wool inside.

Compared with other aristocratic families, the rise of the Changsun family was too short. Before the Empress Changsun appeared, the Changsun family was just a medium-sized family in Shendu, unremarkable.

In this way, it is inevitable that the background is insufficient.

It can be said: Success is also the eldest grandson empress, and defeat is also the eldest grandson empress.

But
Not reconciled!

Having seen the beautiful scenery at the top, how can he be willing to fall to the bottom again? It is this kind of ambivalence that prompted Changsun Yun to speak out at the last court meeting.

Now that I think about it, I feel a little scared.

In the final analysis, Changsun Yun is not a strong man in the political arena, even a little cowardly, otherwise he would not dare to say a word when Qian Yuan was demoted, and would only secretly give his nephew a little travel expenses.

It will not be depressed so far.

Changsun Yun walked to the window, looking at the beautiful moon hanging in the middle of the sky, with many thoughts, "Sister, if you have a spirit in the sky, please bless the Changsun family and Yuan'er!"

Seemingly gaining a power from the moonlight, Changsun Yun's gaze became firm again, he turned around, and said to the air, "Come here!"

With a whoosh, a man in black appeared out of thin air in the study.

Changsun Yun picked up the greeting card and handed it to the man in black, "From today onwards, you will have one-way contact with this man named Li Bai, and share any information with him."

"As ordered!"

With a whoosh, the man in black disappeared again.

…………

Qingcheng Princess Mansion.

"Look, brother fifteen is very smart."

In the gazebo in the back garden, Princess Qingcheng stretched out her slender hand, smiled and handed the letter that Li Bai presented along with the greeting card to the Ninth Prince Qi Wang Ganshen who was sitting opposite.

The Ninth Prince looked at it cautiously, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, neither humble nor overbearing, and thoughtful. Why didn't I realize before that our fifteenth brother is so powerful, did he hide his clumsiness on purpose?"

This is a bit embarrassing.

"Perhaps he suddenly became enlightened." Princess Qingcheng's eyes flickered, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Sister, what do you think, do you want to increase the size now?" Ninth Prince asked.

"Are you worried that the fifteenth brother will not be able to control the situation?"

"I have to worry. Qingqiu Mansion is a mess right now. I heard that Qingqiu Kingdom may launch revenge by the end of the year, and Fifth Brother..." After finally getting an ally, the Ninth Prince didn't want Qian Yuan to collapse suddenly.

The smile on Princess Qingcheng's face did not diminish, but her words were very cold, "If you can't even pass this test, is there any need for an alliance? Our fifteenth brother is a very proud person."

"I understand!"

The Ninth Prince took a deep breath and finally made up his mind: "Since this is the case, I won't get involved in the early stage cooperation, it's up to you."

Princess Qingcheng nodded and drank the wine in her glass, her eyes blurred.

When the Ninth Prince saw him, he shook his head without saying hello, got up and left quietly, and there was a vague sigh in the air.

Princess Qingcheng just leaned on the stone pillar of the gazebo, held the wine glass, and stared at the void in front of her, but her eyes became more blurred. The breeze blew through her hair, but there was no fluctuation.

Until the maid Leng Xiang arrives.

"Your Highness, who will you send to discuss the cooperation mentioned by His Highness the Fifteenth?"

"No, I'll go myself."

"Your Highness!" Leng Xiang felt a little headache, and her voice became a little louder, "Although this cooperation is not small, you don't need to work hard. You can go there yourself. If you are not at ease, the servant girl will just go."

"Hehe~~~"

Princess Qingcheng stepped out of the gazebo in an instant, like a Luoshen flying into the sky, and her clear and charming smile came from midair.

"Hey!!!"

Leng Xiang's head hurt even more, she knew it would be like this, and muttered: "Why do you go out in person? It's just an excuse to leave Shendu, and I don't know where to go to play."

"Should I inform His Highness Fifteenth, His Highness is crazy, but I don't know when I can go to him."

"Forget it, I still don't care."

While muttering, Leng Xiang also left the gazebo, where Princess Qingcheng's devilish laughter seemed to be echoing in the pavilion, and the lingering sound continued after lingering around the beam for three days.

…………

Yize County.

Qianyuan, who didn't know he had been cheated, was still busy step by step. After more than ten days, things finally made some progress.

Army side.

It was decided to form the first brigade of the Qingqiu garrison division based on the remnants of the former fifth brigade and the troops stationed in various places. It will still be stationed at Zhennanguan, and Zhou Qing will be the brigade commander.

Following the previous reorganization plan of the City Guards Brigade, based on the City Defense Battalion and the New Army Battalion, the Second Brigade of the Qingqiu Guard Division was formed, stationed at Yizeguan, with Yue Yun as the brigade commander.

The two brigade commanders have already taken office, and the relevant troops have been assembled near the pass. They are carrying out restorative training while waiting for the recruitment of new recruits.

The barracks are also under construction.

The original fourth brigade, which was still relatively complete, will be dismantled and incorporated into the remaining guard battalion, city defense battalion and third brigade.Currently stationed in the outskirts of Qingqiu Mansion, waiting for reorganization.

This is also the toughest bone to crack.

Different from last time, this time, Chu Guanjie, the former commander of the fourth brigade, and Geng Biao, the former commander of the fifth brigade, were not transferred back to the Southern Army. They all stayed and waited for Qianyuan arrangements.

I don't know if the Southern Legion really didn't want it, or did it on purpose.

Geng Biao is not yet able to come to a conclusion, and he is quite cooperative with this reorganization; Chu Guanjie is an out-and-out member of the faction, and he may even be a member of the fifth prince.

The Fourth Brigade is relatively well-preserved, which makes people wonder.

Guo Jia's strategy was undoubtedly very clever. He temporarily stopped the fourth brigade and allowed it to be stationed outside the city of Qingqiu Prefecture, and first completed the reorganization of the first and second brigades.

By then, things will be very different.

This hot potato had to wait until Qian Yuan came to Qingqiu Mansion to handle it himself.

Government affairs.

Facts have proved that Qianyuan's prestige still has some influence. After Zhongshu settled in the government office, at least he did not encounter any difficulties on the surface. While familiarizing himself with the situation, he tried to solve the refugee wave.

The method is exactly the same as that of Yize County, which is to use work as relief.

Uncle Zhong not only opened the granary of Qingqiu Prefecture, but also ordered the unaffected Qingyu County and Yushui County to take out all the excess grain in the granary to relieve the victims.

At the same time, Uncle Zhong also sent people to various places in Tangting Prefecture to issue announcements, asking the victims to return home and collect relief food in the local counties.

The cement road project connecting the counties in Qingqiu Prefecture is also starting at the fastest speed.

The only worry is that with only this amount of grain stored in the granaries in various places, it can only last for a month or two. If you want to last the next batch of grain matures, you have to buy more grain.

This requires a lot of money.
