What kind of general would lead what kind of soldiers.
Under Yuchi Jingde's command, the soldiers of the Right Marquis's Mansion were also dutiful, but they usually looked lazy.
Moreover, they were not stupid.
For example, regarding the matter of the Duke of Qi, the colonel who received the report reported it to the general, who reported it to the general, and the general reported it to his superior.
He reported it up layer by layer, and in a moment, it reached Yuchi Jingde.
Then, Yuchi Jingde went to the top. Supreme Li Shimin.
His subordinates left one after another, while Yuchi Jingde brought several family guards to the outside of Duke Lu's estate.
"High Duke." When the gatekeeper saw that it was Yuchi Jingde, he hurriedly went forward to greet him.
"Go, tell Cheng Heizi that this country's duke is here to drink with him.”
Throwing the horsewhip to his subordinate, Yuchi Gong, who was wearing thin armor, jumped off the horse and shouted at the steward and gatekeeper of the Lu Public House.
"High Duke, I've already gone to report. Please go ahead.”
This person was a frequent visitor to the residence, so the steward did not dare to let him wait. He smiled apologetically while welcoming him and entered from the side door.
The middle gate of the Public House was usually closed.
To open the middle door, at least the crown prince had the qualifications.
Therefore, according to the rules, other people, including Lu Guo Gong Cheng Yao Jin, could only enter and exit from the lower side door.
As for the servants and maids, they could only enter and exit through the smaller side door.
After entering the Public House, Yuchi Jingde walked straight in. The few family guards who followed in were naturally received by the family guards of the Public House and led to the side hall of the front manor.
"Yuchi Heizi, you old fool, you came here to take advantage of me again?”At the door, Cheng Jin was already waiting.
Looking at his dark face, she thought that he disliked Yuchi Jingde.
In fact, the relationship between these two guys was extremely good.
Of course, there was still one more person, and that was State Duke of Hu Qin Qiong.
The three of them were close friends and naturally formed an intimate circle.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to disturb you again.”Ignoring Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde first bowed to the wife of Duke Lu.
"Chang Lai, Chang Lai. Alright, you two brothers chat. I've already instructed the kitchen to arrange food and wine.”With that, Madam Su, Cheng Yaojin's wife, Sun Shi, left with her servant girls.
"Sister-in-law, take care."
After Sun shi left, Cheng Yaojin turned around and walked towards the courtyard. Yuchi Jingde smiled and followed.
After entering the main room in the courtyard, the two of them did not sit down separately. Instead, they sat next to each other in the seats arranged at the bottom.
After the servants served the food and wine, they left.
After pouring the wine, the two of them finished three bowls in a row. Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuchi Jingde and said,""I heard that you went to the palace?"
"Heh, you're quite well-informed.”Yuchi Jingde laughed and went to the top.
The two of them had been brothers for many years, so they naturally knew each other's feelings and thoughts.
"You did the right thing. When we received the news, Brother Qin also sent someone to inform us and asked me to advise you not to accept this matter. You're smart."
"Hahaha, we're not really big idiots.”Yuchi Jingde said with a smile after hearing this.
"By the way, have you heard about what happened in White Cloud City?”Cheng Yaojin asked after clinking glasses with Yuchi Jingde and finishing the wine in the cup.
"I know." Yuchi Jingde nodded solemnly.
"Big Brother Qin said that this matter has nothing to do with us and that we shouldn't get involved.”Cheng Yaojin carefully scanned the surroundings and lowered his voice."Moreover, the incident at Zhangsun's residence might be related to that person."
”
"Hiss, it can't be?" Yuchi Jingde's expression changed as he looked at Cheng Yaojin.
"This is just Brother Qin's guess.”Cheng Yaojin shook his head, indicating that he was not sure either.
"Alright, I got it." Yuchi Jingde nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said,"Do you know about the departure of the Jingzhou governor?”
"I got the news." Cheng Yaojin nodded as he ate.
"How is it? Any ideas?" Yuchi Jingde smiled and asked.
"You have an idea?" Cheng Yaojin looked over.
"This position is average. I don't have many thoughts about it. However, Jingzhou is not far from Youzhou. If I have the chance to go there, I want to go to White Cloud City to take a look."”
Looking at Yuchi Jingde's appearance, Cheng Yaojin's face sank and he shouted in a low voice,""Didn't I tell you not to meddle in the matters over there?”
"Uhh." Yuchi Jingde was stunned. He looked at Cheng Yaojin and slapped his forehead."Yes, yes, yes. Brother, you're right. I was too rash at this time.”
"Get lost, is that a punishment? That's your reward. I'll punish you with one less drink.”
"That won't do...."
The two of them laughed and played. After drinking, they went to the Duke Hu Residence together. After drinking again, they separated and returned to their respective residences.
White Cloud City. The garrison in White Cloud City was named the "North Mansion Army" by Li Lin. Thirty thousand main troops and twenty thousand auxiliary troops had been recruited. Li Cunxiao had taken out more than a hundred Tiger Guards to help Gao Shun train.
In addition to the support of special buildings, the main army had already taken shape in a short month or so.
As the auxiliary army had just been recruited, they were still undergoing basic training.
In King Jing's Mansion, Dian Wei came in and saw Li Lin in the study room of the back mansion.
"Young Master, the Shadow Secret Guards have reported that the matter has been settled. There was also news that the Jingzhou manager had suddenly left his post, claiming that he had neglected his duty and was being transferred back to Chang 'an, the Divine Capital.”
"Oh? Is there any news about the successor?" Li Lin put down the book in his hand and asked Dian Wei.
"Not yet."
"Alright, got it. Let the Shadow Secret Guards pay more attention.”
"Here!"
Li Yi, the Prince of Yan, from the Governor's Office of Youzhou, had a gloomy expression. Gu Lun and Zheng Fu were also present.
"The sudden departure of the Jingzhou Manager is not a good sign.”Li Yi spoke. Gu Lun and Zheng Fu, who were kneeling down, also had worried expressions.
The original Jingzhou Manager had a good relationship with the Prince of Yan, Li Yi.
Now, the other party suddenly left his post and was transferred back to Chang 'an, the Divine Capital.
As for who the new Jingzhou Manager was, that was a big question.
What if the Emperor wanted to transfer him to Jingzhou? What about the 100,000 Heavenly Festival Army? What about the foundation that Youzhou Province had built these years?
Especially if Zhen Qi obeyed the imperial edict and went to Jingzhou, it meant that all his protection was gone, and his life and death were in the hands of the Emperor.
However, if he didn't go, he would have to defy the decree and rebel…Did he really have to go to such an extent?
Li Yi was unwilling, and Gu Lun and Zheng Fu did not have any good ideas.
For now, he could only wait for the decree before deciding how to go.
"Men." After Gu Lun and Zheng Fu left, Li Yi shouted from the study.
"Your Highness." His personal guard entered and bowed.
"Send out this secret letter.”
"Here."
