"oh?"

Li Yuanqing smiled calmly: "I wonder what good news my uncle brought me?"

As early as eleven or twelve years old, Wu Sangui had already shown his extraordinary intelligence, not to mention his great fame in history.

At this time, he had already reached the imperial examination, passed the martial arts examination, had an official status of thousands of households, and was fully qualified as an official.

Although Li Yuanqing spoke with the dignity of his elders, in his heart, he would never treat Wu Sangui as the little brat he was before and treat him with contempt. Instead, he would treat him as a complete equal.

How smart is Wu Sangui?

At this time, he had been hanging out in the army with his cousins ​​from his ancestral home for three or four years. Although he looked childlike on the outside, he was so old-fashioned on the inside that even some veterans would be hard-pressed to match.

Otherwise, at this juncture, how could Wu Xiang safely allow his precious son to visit Li Yuanqing, who had obvious conflicts with his ancestral family.

Of course, Wu Sangui clearly felt the change in Li Yuanqing's tone, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, if this news is good news, it is a little bit hard to talk about, but bad news is also a bit out of reach. But~, Uncle Chang felt that if Uncle Shi

After getting this news, we may have more time to prepare later.”

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly, took a sip of tea slowly and methodically, looked into Wu Sangui's eyes and said, "I'd like to hear my uncle clarify his doubts."

Wu Sangui couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately.

Obviously, Li Yuanqing's attitude towards him clearly made him a little bit elated.

Although he is young and mature, and is ten times or dozens of times more advanced than his peers, after all~, at heart, he is still a young boy. How can he not be happy when he can receive such attention from the majestic Li Yuanqing?

For a moment, Wu Sangui stopped covering up and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, although this news seems to be a bit speculative, my father and nephew unanimously speculated that this matter is very close. It is very likely that Governor Yuan~

, in the near future, we will summon Mao Wenlong, and perhaps you, Uncle Shi, to discuss the dispute in detail and seek a solution."

Although Wu Sangui's words were a bit erratic, Li Yuanqing instantly understood that this must be some accurate information that Wu Xiang had obtained.

Even~, it is very likely that Governor Yuan has already signaled him to prepare for these things in advance.

Otherwise, with the caution of the Wu family and his son, how could they dare to take such a big risk and have Wu Sangui come to meet him, Li Yuanqing, at this time of year?

After pondering for a moment, Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, exhaled a long breath of thick smoke, looked into Wu Sangui's eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Chang, I wonder when, where, and where this meeting will be held?

"

What Li Yuanqing said seemed light, but Wu Sangui certainly understood the deep meaning of Li Yuanqing. This meant that Li Yuanqing had accepted the overture from the Wu family. He quickly lowered his voice and said: "Uncle Shi. The specific location, my nephew is at this time.

I can't tell clearly. However, the current situation has deteriorated so much that my nephew speculates that the time should not be later than mid-October."

"Huh~~."

Li Yuanqing exhaled a long breath and nodded slowly. After a moment, he smiled: "Uncle Zhang, is your father's health okay? I haven't seen your father for two or three years.

.”

Wu Sangui hurriedly held his hands respectfully and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, I'm thinking of you. My father is in good health, and he has been teaching my nephew all the time. I want to learn a lot from you, Uncle Shi."

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly: "Uncle Chang, when Uncle Shi has the opportunity to go to Liaoxi next time, he will definitely have a good drink with Brother Lianghuan."

Wu Sangui couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately, "If Uncle Shi comes to Liaoxi in person, my father and nephew will sweep up the bed to welcome him!"

…………

Wu Sangui did not stay on Changsheng Island for long. He simply had some lunch with Li Yuanqing, and then he left in a hurry.

At this juncture, for the Wu family and Li Yuanqing, it is enough for people to come, for news to arrive, and for ideas to be expressed.

There was no need to take greater risks and let Wu Sangui stay on Changsheng Island to get close to Li Yuanqing.

After all, with Li Yuanqing's shrewdness, keeping Wu Sangui would be superfluous.

Li Yuanqing personally sent Wu Sangui to the dock and kindly sent Wu Sangui's clipper away. However, on the return trip, Li Yuanqing did not ride a horse, but chose to take a carriage.

In the carriage, smoke filled the air, and Li Yuanqing's handsome face was reflected in the haze of clouds and mountains.

To be honest, Li Yuanqing did not expect that the Wu family, which had always been cautious, would deliver such important news to Li Yuanqing at this time and at this joint.

Although Li Yuanqing has insight into this period of history and is aware of this node, at this time, due to the flapping wings of butterflies, the direction of the entire history has undergone subtle changes, and Li Yuanqing does not have accurate information about the time of this node.

Even though Li Yuanqing's intelligence network in western Liaoning is very developed, this kind of information is obviously too difficult.

Although the Wu family is famous in history, at this time, Wu Xiang has not even been promoted to the rank of general, but is just the deputy general of the Ningyuan rear camp. Although they are at the top of the general system, as far as the Wu family and his son are concerned,

, but they don’t have much say.

However, because of their in-laws with the ancestral family and the fact that the Wu family father and son are very good at doing things for others, although they are still a little behind in politics, they cannot be underestimated in terms of financial resources and strength.

At this time, the Wu family already had more than a thousand elite servants, fertile land and countless shops.

Even veterans like Zuo Fu and Zhu Mei can't compare with the Wu family. In terms of the strength of their personal guards, they are already second only to the flourishing ancestral family.

This is the legendary ‘make a fortune silently’!

After a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled.

Not to mention anything else, just the courage of the Wu family and his son, and the ability to seize opportunities, even he, Li Yuanqing, has to admire them.

It’s no wonder that in the end, the Wu family, which was not prosperous, even managed to overtake the ancestor family!

However, even though Wu Sangui informed Li Yuanqing of the time for the meeting with Governor Yuan, for Li Yuanqing, the road ahead was still foggy.

Supervisor Yuan actually wants to summon him, Li Yuanqing, to participate in this meeting. Is it possible that he, Yuan Manzi, wants to kill him, Li Yuanqing, too?

This bitch is too courageous, isn't he?

Did Governor Yuan really think that he, Li Yuanqing, did not dare to kill anyone? Did he not dare to rebel?

But for a moment, Li Yuanqing calmed down.

Even if Supervisor Yuan hates Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong, at this time, etiquette and ethics are the same, and the rules are here after all. It is not surprising that he has murderous intentions, but~, if he, Supervisor Yuan, dares to blatantly commit murder,

Still a little reluctant.

After all, no one is a fool.

Once Governor Yuan shows signs of this and actually endangers the lives, safety and interests of others, who will be willing to sit back and wait for death?

And once chaos breaks out within the Liao Territory, even if Emperor Chongzhen continues to trust him, Governor Yuan, he will definitely take Governor Yuan's head to sacrifice the flag to rectify people's hearts!

In other words, even if Governor Yuan really wants to kill Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing, at this time, Governor Yuan's planning should still give priority to negotiation.

After a long time, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath, but his eyes became clearer and clearer.

The general trend of the times has turned. How to stand firm in it and maximize his own interests depends entirely on his operations!

…………

Returning to the official hall, Li Yuanqing summoned Shang Laoliu and Ma Guanjia, and the three of them talked about the sweet potato harvest soon, including some trivial matters related to the island's government affairs, as well as those new to Dingkou from the Yangguanbao front line.

The resettlement situation requires Li Yuanqing to point out a clear direction.

Before immersing himself wholeheartedly in this political trend, Li Yuanqing must first clean up the mess under his butt.

After discussing with Shang Laoliu and Housekeeper Ma, it was almost midnight. When he returned to the inner study, Li Yuanqing issued several secret orders to the intelligence network of the capital and western Liaoning.

As for the capital, it has greatly strengthened its guidance of public opinion. Even if it cannot influence the court, it must form a more favorable trend among the people.

As for western Liaoning, the main focus is infiltration. The main purpose is to try to win over the grassroots generals of these emerging forces under Governor Yuan.

They are basically rootless, mud-legged people who are eager for money and achievements. They are obviously easier to attack than the complicated general forces.

As long as he can win over three or two people, even if there are any unpredictable changes, Li Yuanqing will have a certain buffering opportunity.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing must also get together with his old brothers in Dongjiang as soon as possible to deepen their relationship!

…………

The 'time period' that Wu Sangui brought to Li Yuanqing allowed Li Yuanqing to quickly speed up the pace and make intensive plans.

Unfortunately~, time was a bit too urgent at this time, and Li Yuanqing did not have much spare time to visit Pidao in person. He could only use the dividends from Liaonan Commercial Bank to further close contact with the brothers in Dongjiang Headquarters.

Five days later, on September 13th, Chen Zhong arrived at Changsheng Island by speedboat.

At this time of year, naturally there won’t be too much nonsense between the two brothers.

In the carriage, Chen Zhong described his trip to Dongjiang in detail to Li Yuanqing.

"Yuan Qing, the commander is determined to fight Yuan Manzi to the end this time. The brothers below are also excited. Hey~! If this continues, Yuan Qing, I'm really afraid... something big will happen.

ah."

Chen Zhong's face was filled with worry that could not be concealed.

At this time, he was no longer the reckless man who only knew how to kill Tatars. He had been in a position of power all year round. Accompanying Li Yuanqing, he clearly felt the serious crisis.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, and after a moment, he said: "Brother, how is the Marshal's health lately?"

"It's okay. But, Yuan Qing, I can feel that the commander is much older than before. Hey. Yuan Qing, tell me, why, why do you have to get so entangled in this matter?

If either side could take a step back, why would it make this matter so deadlocked?"

Chen Zhong was simply indescribably sad.

Obviously, he was also dissatisfied with Mao Wenlong's somewhat stubborn behavior at this time.

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath, "Brother, actually... you can't blame the commander for this matter. At this point, if the commander doesn't step up to the plate, he won't be able to explain it to the brothers below."

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Yuan Qing, then, what should we do?"
Chapter completed!
