Zhu Youjian felt a little strange when Wang Chengen left and returned. Wang Chengen looked around awkwardly, and Zhu Youjian understood immediately. He waved his hands, and the servants and palace people retreated out like a tide.

"Everyone has left, you can say it." Zhu Youxiao still trusted this old eunuch who had served him for more than ten years.

"Uh...!" Wang Chengen glanced at Queen Zhang in embarrassment.

Zhu Youjian also glanced at Queen Zhang and saw that she had no intention of quitting. As the closest ally in the palace, Zhu Youjian couldn't force her away. "The emperor's sister-in-law is not an outsider, just tell me."

"The person who escorted the old slave back to Beijing this time was Wu Sangui, the son of the commander-in-chief Wu Xiang. Along the way, the old slave tested him many times. He was quite ambitious. If Long Live wins over him, it will be like planting a nail in Li Xiao's place.

Maybe it will work wonders in the future.”

"Oh!" Zhu Youjian turned back and glanced at Queen Zhang. It is really hard for outsiders to know such things. Now he regrets letting Queen Zhang stay, but things have become like this. Besides, Queen Zhang is also impossible to leave the palace.

Just listen to it, you can't kill people and silence them!

"Xuan Wu Sangui comes to the palace, I want to meet him." Zhu Youjian did not hesitate for a second and immediately announced that he had summoned Wu Sangui.

When he heard that the emperor had summoned him, Wu Sangui's eyes gleamed with excitement. He adjusted his military uniform and followed the chamberlain into the Qianqing Palace.

************************************************************************ ＊＊＊

The imperial edict that Li Xiao received was brought back by Wu Sangui. Although it did not have the seal of the cabinet, it did have a jade seal. Theoretically, it was a flawed edict, but what Li Xiao wanted was an edict. As for whether it was flawed or not, who could tell?

I will take care of it. Anyway, it is covered with the emperor's jade seal, and I didn't carve it with a carrot.

Besides, the reasonable and legal decree will be in hand in a few days. Even if he has a chicken feather now, Li Xiao can call the arrows at his command.

Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou were very happy and took the cavalry company to escort Wang Chengen. Wu Sangui was personally awarded the title of Xuejie Captain by the emperor. He was already a captain at a young age and had a bright future.

Man Gui also took the silver back to Shanhaiguan, a total of five hundred thousand taels of silver. The oxcart continued for a long distance, and Li Xiao was relieved until the silver was in the treasury. This was a total of five hundred thousand taels. Wait.

After Zhu Youjian ascends the throne, he will receive another 800,000 taels.

Rice merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have driven up the price of rice, but with more than one million taels at the bottom, they can make up for the gap with plenty of money.

Besides, there is also Shi Kefa’s large arms list.

Everyone is back, and Li Xiao is busy loading the ships. Transporting the 1st Cavalry Division back to Shandong is easy no matter what. The transportation of war horses takes up a lot of space, and it will take a few days to transport Mangui's 1st Cavalry Division.

Shipped back to Shandong.

While they were busy loading the ship, Xu Xianchun came again. This time Xu Xianchun seemed very anxious. Counting the days, he probably didn't know that Li Xiao had become the governor of Shandong, the day before Zhu Youjian officially ascended the throne.

"Brother! The money has also come to you. You have to send troops as soon as possible." Xu Xianchun was jumping around in anxiety. The money had already arrived at Shanhaiguan for two days. But none of Li Xiao's soldiers left Shanhaiguan and marched towards the capital!

"Brother Xu, how can I break my promise to you? There are still 300,000 taels of silver waiting for me in the capital, and that's 300,000 taels of silver. Look, all my soldiers are boarding the ship. It only takes one night.

Land at Tianjin Guard." Li Xiao stood on the city wall and pointed at the 1st Cavalry Division that was loading ships.

"Really?" Xu Xianchun did see that people and horses were constantly boarding the ship through the pier. It looked like it was really about to set off!

"Can I still lie to you? After loading the ship tonight, we can go to Tianjin Guards tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow night, these cavalry can go to the capital." Li Xiao lied without changing his face.

"Why not go by land? It's not that far from Shanhaiguan to the capital." Xu Xianchun was still puzzled. It's really not that far from Shanhaiguan to the capital. Why did Mao want to go to Tianjin by sea and land? Wasn't he taking off his pants and farting?

"Brother Xu, you don't understand. You need to maintain your horse power in battle. If the war horse is tired when it is on the road, how can it have strength during the battle? Therefore, it is good to make the horse run a mile less. Let's not talk about this.

, now that you are here, let’s go and have a drink!” Li Xiao held Xu Xianchun’s arm boldly.

Xu Xianchun was extremely reluctant. He didn't wait for the news that Li Xiao had sent troops. However, he got the news that Li Xiao had withdrawn all the money. Wei Zhongxian scolded Xu Xianchun bloody. Then he came to Shanhaiguan again!

But now there is nothing I can do. If I beg Li Xiao now, I really can't afford to offend this kid.

The wine companions were still old acquaintances, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang. These two brothers teamed up with Li Xiao, and there were two more young girls beside them. They persuaded each other with one glass of wine and another.

I don’t know what happened, but Xu Xianchun, who normally drinks a pound of alcohol, drank half a pound today and fell asleep on the table.

"Li Zhongzi's anesthetic is really effective." Li Xiao pulled Xu Xianchun's head and found that the guy was really unconscious. Not to mention, the anesthetic of traditional Chinese medicine is still better. Li Zhongzi has already prepared a patent medicine, which is combined with Tang Ruowang's

The effect of the surgery was very good.

Today, Xu Xianchun was a guinea pig for a while.

"I'm going to Shandong. I'll send this guy back to the capital when he wakes up." Li Xiao pushed the wine glass. Time is life now, and he must get to Jinan as quickly as possible. Otherwise, Chen Hailong, who knows the letter, will not run away.

"You kid is cheating people to death. I'm afraid Xu Xianchun won't survive for a few days when he returns to Beijing this time." Sun Chengzong looked at the unconscious Xu Xianchun and shook his head helplessly. This guy is a bit stupid, but Li Xiao is so deceitful.

Man, to be honest, it's a bit unethical.

"The Fifth Master heard some rumors in the capital, one of which was very shocking. Yang Lian died from a big red-hot nail driven into his head, and Zuo Guangdou did the same. And the person who tortured them and hammered a nail into their head

This is Xu Xianchun.

And Wang Wenyan! Before Wang Wenyan died, Xu Xianchun forged his confession in front of Wang Wenyan. Wang Wenyan’s last words were, I will confront you even after I die. What? You always...! Hey...

!You can’t smash it, you can’t smash it. Zu Dashou, please help take down the wine bottle."

Li Xiao was talking happily, but unexpectedly Sun Chengzong picked up the wine bottle and was about to hit Xu Xianchun on the head. Li Xiao quickly stopped him, and Zu Dashou next to him was quick and snatched the bottle. He looked at Sun Chengzong warily, for fear of

The irritated old guy bites.

"Mr. Sun, how come he has the laws of the country? Wei Zhongxian can't live for a few days, and you are still afraid that he will not be liquidated. It is better to die under the sword of the laws of the country than to be lynched to death by us." Li Xiao

While stopping Sun Chengzong, he persuaded him.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Mr. Sun, if his crime reaches the capital, he should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. If you smash him to death like this, it is an advantage for him. Look, he has no consciousness at all after taking anesthetics, and he dies like this

It's an advantage for him." Wu Xiang also tried to persuade him.

Perhaps Wu Xiang's words had an effect, and Sun Chengzong finally stopped committing crimes. He let out a heavy "hum" in his nose, turned around and left.

"You have to watch out. This bastard can die in anyone's hands, but he can't die in our hands. When he wakes up, send him back to the capital." Seeing Sun Chengzong leaving, Li Xiao then ordered Zu Dashou and Wu

Xiang.

"No! Don't worry, Marshal, just leave him to us." Zu Dashou assured, patting his chest.

Man Gui's ship had already left, and Li Xiao boarded the boat with Man Gui's sails to catch up with Man Gui. The boat sailed in the afternoon and he would arrive at Penglai Pier tomorrow morning. He had to kill this bastard before Chen Hailong escaped. He owed too much blood debt.

.In just half a year, Chen Hailong forced more than a hundred soldiers of the Liao army to death.

The rest were raped, had their births taken away, and even more were driven crazy. Unless this bastard is caught, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Li Xiao sailed on the sea all night and finally arrived at Penglai in the morning. The letter from the flying pigeon had been given to Ao Canghai. Yesterday, Ao Canghai and the Japanese soldiers had left Penglai and headed inland. Now Penglai Port,

There was only one battalion of men and horses guarding it.

When poor Xu Xianchun woke up, it was already the afternoon when the sun was setting. He turned over, his head hurt badly. He opened the curtains and saw through the glass window that there were only a few fishing boats left in Shanhaiguan Port.

"Where's Li Xiao?" Xu Xianchun opened the door like crazy, and his entourage was waiting in the hall.

"My lord, we sailed away yesterday afternoon. You are drunk, and your subordinates and other officials are waiting here."

"Hey...! Brother Xu, you're awake. Are you hungry? Let's have some more drinks?" Outside, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang walked in with a smile.

Still drinking...! If you drink any more, you will die!

When Xu Xianchun heard the word "drink", he felt weak all over. His stomach was burning, and his head hurt terribly. If he drank again, he would definitely not be able to return to the capital.

"Brother, I still have a nine-thousand-year-old errand. Don't blame the two commander-in-chiefs. Where did brother Li go?" Xu Xianchun wanted an accurate answer.

"I'm going to Tianjin Wei. Didn't I tell you yesterday? If Brother Xu rushes back now, Brother Xiao will definitely enter the capital ahead of you." Zu Dashou had the most sincere smile on his face.

"Oh! Oh! I drank too much yesterday. I forgot! Prepare your horses. I will return to the capital soon." Xu Xianchun was still worried and immediately asked someone to prepare his horses. He was going to return to the capital immediately.

"There is no need to be anxious. We are as good as iron rice and steel. We can leave in time after eating, not less than half an hour." Zu Dashou advised from the side.

"I'm busy with official duties, next time! Next time the two commander-in-chiefs come to the capital, Xu will be the host and we'll have a good drink in Donglaishun."

"Since I have official duties, it's not convenient to interrupt. The kitchen has made some steamed buns for you to take with you to eat on the road."

"This is a great relationship! Thank you so much, Commander Zu." Xu Xianchun was overjoyed and quickly thanked Zu Dashou.

There were dozens of fist-sized buns inside the huge cage. Xu Xianchun and his men grabbed a few and walked outside while eating. Zu Dashou also thoughtfully asked someone to fill mountain spring water with a military kettle for Xu Xianchun and the others.

Bring it with you.

Xu Xianchun thanked Zu Dashou and others with clasped fists, and then galloped toward the capital under the slanting sunlight.

"Brother-in-law, what's the stuffing in these buns? We don't have pork to eat, so don't waste the pork." Zu Dashou asked Wu Xiang without looking back as he watched the figure walking away.

"It's stuffed with leeks and eggs." Wu Xiang replied nonchalantly.
