Chapter 504 Return to Chongzhou
Everyone has their own secrets, and Li Cunxi will not find out the truth.
Since Xuguzi is unwilling to say it, let's just leave it at that.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Xuguzi took Li Cunxi's official seal and returned to Luoyang City under the moonlight, escorted by the Qianniu Guards.
The first threat heading north has been eliminated. There is no need for these Qianniu Guards cavalry to follow them north, so they naturally have to go back to report to Huan Bin.
Li Cunxi and his party also rushed back to Yongchang County Inn under the moonlight, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
On this night, some people sleep soundly, while others cannot.
The lights were on at the Xize Silver Bank in Yangzhou, and Tao Gan and his servants began to calculate the accounts.
While everyone was disoriented, a figure wrapped in a black robe walked into the main hall of Xize Silver Bank.
The visitor glanced at the boy who was coming towards him and said:
"I'm here to see Tao Gan."
Seeing this, the servant had no choice but to find Tao Gan.
Tao Gan recognized the man's identity at a glance by his figure. Without asking any more questions, he called the man into the back hall to sit down.
"Why are you here?" Tao Gan asked anxiously
Long Feng took off the hood on his head and pursed his lips: "Of course I have something important to tell you."
"what's up?"
Tao Gan poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Long Feng, knowing that the matter that could make the other party come in the middle of the night must be very important.
Long Feng took the tea, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said:
"The big event codenamed 'Han Canal Shipwreck' has officially begun."
"The leader has taken me to find the governor Cui Liang, the chief secretary Wu Wendeng, and the transport envoy Yang Jiucheng of the transport office."
"Next, we will begin this shocking plan."
Tao Gan narrowed his eyes.
"Are you sure this is a terrifying plan?"
Long Feng could no longer maintain his serious expression and he suddenly laughed out loud.
Yeah, this is definitely not a shocking plan.
As the deputy leader and eldest senior brother of the Iron Hand Group, his evaluation of this plan was nothing short of rubbish.
I don't know what that idiot sect leader is thinking.
The reason why so many experts were gathered together was to make money, not to do more important things.
What's more, this plan is full of loopholes. Even if Li Cunxi does not come to investigate the case, it will be easy to solve it if someone else comes to investigate.
This is really unimaginable, how could the sect leader be so stupid.
"Tell me the details so I can write it in the letter and inform the head of the family so he can make plans early."
Tao Gan also laughed.
More than half an hour later, Long Feng finished explaining all the details and watched Tao Gan copy them down. Then he dressed neatly and left.
Tao Gan found Zhou Lu and asked him to go to Luoyang quickly to deliver the letter to Li Cunxi.
On the other side, Cuiping Mountain behind Liujiazhuang, Huzhou.
The treasure that had been sealed for more than ten years reappeared in the world late at night, and Pei Xianxian, who was in charge of digging the treasure, was in tears.
"Oh my god, oh my god, I finally dug these things out."
"Oh my god! Hurry up, hurry up, get someone to seal this place off. Let's go back and rest. We'll come back tomorrow to transport the treasure away in batches."
……
Li Cunxi headed north all the way, and after a long journey of more than ten days, he finally arrived in Chongzhou.
Sitting in the position that originally belonged to the governor of Chongzhou, Li Cunxi held his chin with his hand and smiled calmly.
Liu Deyang, who had just taken office as the governor of Chongzhou, stood aside and personally served tea to Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao.
"If it weren't for the help of my two junior brothers, I might not be able to become the governor of Chongzhou even if I worked hard for 30 years."
"I will use tea instead of wine to toast my two junior brothers."
Liu Deyang, a disciple of King Wei, had basically no presence in the Chongzhou case.
His highlight moment was after Qiu Jing was arrested. He exercised the power of the governor, protected the country and the people, and mobilized food and fodder for the army, and his contribution was also indispensable.
After the Chongzhou case, he was promoted to governor due to his merits.
The imperial edict promoting him came to Chongzhou together with the imperial edict promoting the officers of the Right Guard. Now he is also an important official in charge of hunting on behalf of the emperor.
Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao did not stand up, but accepted the cup of tea with peace of mind.
Liu Deyang was in a very good mood today. He chatted with the two of them about trivial matters in their daily lives for a while before getting down to business.
"I have received the imperial edict. I will fully cooperate with you this time. If you have any instructions, I will do it."
Li Cunxi put down the tea bowl and asked, "Answer my question first. Are the two sides still fighting now?"
"No." Liu Deyang recalled, "As early as when General Wang's report was sent to Luoyang, the two sides had already ceased fighting for a long time. After that, the two sides have been confronting each other and have not started a war."
"It seems that we are not the only ones who don't want the Khitan and Turks to go to war." Wu Yanhao said, "Let's go to the Turks to meet Jili Khan first?"
"Well, yes, but we need military support."
"Your sworn brother, General Wang Xiaojie, is still stationed outside Chongzhou City."
"Then, Brother Yanhao, let's go together tomorrow." Li Cunxi grinned, "The new governor of Yingzhou, Su Honghui, can also serve as our guarantee."
……
"Report!"
"Khan, Li Cunxi and his group are heading north, and they have probably arrived in Chongzhou by now."
"Explore again."
"Yes!"
Guicheng Prefecture.
Li Jinzhong, the Supreme Khan of Khitan, held a tablet in his hand and wiped it carefully with a wet cloth.
That is the tablet of Khitan Marshal Sun Wanrong, the only good brother in the world with whom he could talk about anything.
But he was dead.
Li Jinzhong buried it in the ground one shovelful at a time.
The Khitans did not advocate burial. It was Sun Wanrong who requested to be buried like the people of the Great Zhou before his death, so Li Jinzhong buried him.
"Wanrong, Wanrong."
"Li Cunxi went north with the imperial edict of the Great Zhou Emperor. It is not known whether he really mediated the war between the two countries."
"I really can't believe that the Emperor of Great Zhou would agree to let us submit to Great Zhou."
"I hope that everything that happens next will be just like what you imagined when you were alive."
"I also hope that the people of Khitan can return to the life they had in the past few years, even if it is a little poorer and more difficult."
"I don't mind being insulted, as long as everyone can have enough food to eat."
Li Jinzhong's voice was very small and soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing Sun Wanrong who was sleeping peacefully.
"I hope that Changshengtian will bless us Khitan, and I also hope that your spirit in heaven can bless us Khitan."
Li Jinzhong closed his eyes and, like a devout believer, prayed for a better tomorrow for his tribe.
Because of disasters and wars, the Khitans were at the end of their rope. If they continued to fight, they would only be wiped out.
If the Great Zhou's mediation of the war was false, and their real intention was to attack the Khitan from both sides, then their demise is probably not far away.
The staggering old man took off his armor and walked out of the military tent holding the tablet in his arms.
The sky was full of twinkling stars and the boundless cold moonlight was shining. Li Jinzhong lowered his head and smiled, talking to the tablet in his arms.
