Although he was angry with Li Lanfang's departure without saying goodbye, Wang Chengen summoned him at this time, and Xu Changqing could only suppress this anger first and go over to see Wang Chengen.

Based on Xu Changqing's understanding of Wang Chengen, although this eunuch is not very good at ease, many things are considered to be average. Such an abrupt matter must be important.

But Li Lanfang, a little girl, doesn't have much wisdom, but her clever methods are all set of things. It's not easy for her to suffer losses. There is no need to worry too much for the time being.

Without a country, where can the beauty come from?

When he arrived at the private room of this restaurant, Wang Chengen was drinking Kung Fu tea in a scheming manner. Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Prince, why did the magpies keep calling this morning? It turns out that you have prepared good wine and good food."

Wang Chengen was in a clear mood and cursed with a smile: "I know you are sweet-mouthed, come and try the skills of the miscellaneous families."

After all, he was born in the palace for many years. Wang Chengen's tea art is really good. After drinking a few cups of tea, the wine and food began to rise, and the topic gradually shifted to the topic.

Wang Chengen looked at Xu Changqing and said sincerely: "Changqing, can't you really go to Shaanxi recently? The family also knows that many things are indeed too abrupt. But Changqing, you have to understand that it is difficult for the emperor. If there were any other choices, he wouldn't be so tired of you. Changqing, there are not many people who can trust the emperor now, and you are the best choice!"

Xu Changqing's brows frowned immediately without any concealment.

In fact, Xu Changqing had already made some predictions about this before coming. According to Emperor Chongzhen's nature, it would be difficult to end what he had decided without breaking up.

What is the situation in Shaanxi now?

The refugee army was strong and strong, to a large extent, not much inferior to the Qing army!

It should be noted that in history, Shanhaiguan was covered with stones, and Liu Zongmin and others were fighting the terrifying disadvantage of Shanhaiguan and were about to kill Wu Sangui!

If it weren't for the Qing army's chicken thieves entering the battlefield, Wu Sangui and Guanning's elite soldiers would have been destroyed!

The reason why Xu Changqing was able to win in the previous battle of the Central Plains was that the general trend of the court was still there. Xu Changqing and the Model Army were just small heads and were not cared about by the refugee army. On the other hand, it was also the most critical. Xu Changqing accurately seized the opportunity, seized the favorable terrain, and pulled the war to the defense that the Model Army was best at.

But at this time, Shaanxi was already in a quagmire, and the refugee army had obviously adjusted its strategic policies and was more targeted!

If Xu Changqing and the Model Army had no choice but to try it out, use surprise troops and sneak attacks on the back, and perhaps there might be some chance.

But at this time, this is a bottomless mud. Whoever goes in will destroy it. Unless the main force of the refugee army is hooked up, how could Xu Changqing let himself wade into such a muddy water?

Seeing Xu Changqing remained silent and with such a solemn expression, Wang Chengen sighed deeply: "Changqing, the Zajia also knows that this matter has made you embarrassed, but I, Daming, are really no one available now. If you can go to the battlefield in Shaanxi, the Zajia can guarantee you that your lineage will definitely be able to reopen a mansion in Beijing and continue the glory of our ancestors!"

"The prince and the king love each other, and it is unforgettable to remember forever."

Xu Changqing nodded slowly, but did not really express his opinion.

Although Wang Chengen's character is much better than Emperor Chongzhen, he has "divided the stolen goods with Xu Changqing", at this time, this is obviously the attitude of Emperor Chongzhen, treating him Xu Changqing as a chamber pot.

That's right.

Xu Changqing was able to take advantage of the situation, to a large extent, because Emperor Chongzhen wanted to establish a new army and break the inherent shackles of the Ming Dynasty.

But no one is playing with him like that.

I want the horse to run, but I don’t want to give it grass!

If Emperor Chongzhen really married Zhu Mai to him, or was appointed as a marquis, he would be able to become a real person.

The flag of the lower warriors, even if the battlefield in Shaanxi is complicated, Xu Changqing is willing to try it!

But at this time, this man didn't want to come out of nothing, just wanted to talk and play tricks, how could Xu Changqing get his wish?

After a while, Xu Changqing said: "Prince, this matter is too big, Changqing is not easy to make a decision for a while. Please give Changqing some time."

Wang Chengen sighed deeply: "Changqing, come, let's go one of us!"

...

Although we didn't reach an agreement, we drank the wine for more than an hour.

To be honest, Wang Chengen is still very charming and has the style of an elder. What is obviously different from Hong Chengchou is that Wang Chengen must be much more sincere.

pity.

Sincerity cannot be eaten, he is not the one who can make decisions...

After leaving the restaurant and seeing Wang Chengen away, Xu Changqing sat in the carriage and was also carefully considering the possibility of going to the battlefield in Shaanxi.

At this time, the migrant army had already achieved momentum and its foundation was no worse than that of the official army. Once it was in war, there was no possibility of taking advantage of the opportunity. It could only be a death battle against Mai Mang...

Make an assumption.

Even if there is no Qing army in this time and space, I am afraid that the one who really laughs to the end will definitely not be the Ming court!

Of course, it is also difficult for the refugee army. The biggest possibility is that Wu Sangui, a person with ulterior motives like the Zu family!

If he enters Shaanxi, it will also mean that Xu Changqing will give up his greatest maritime advantage without any preparation and enter the complex Loess Plateau landform.

If nothing unexpected happens, you will face the division and siege of the main force of the refugee army, and there will be no guarantee in terms of logistics.

Until he returned to the mansion, Xu Changqing had a splitting headache and still couldn't understand too much, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Send troops, yes!

However, it must first look at how big the chips Emperor Chongzhen could take. If the chips were not enough, Xu Changqing would never take the risk with the lives of his men!

"Master, sister, sister is gone, there is still no news..."

As soon as she entered the mansion, Xiu'er waited here and was already crying.

Xu Changqing held her in his arms and comforted her for a while, and was a little overwhelmed.

After calming down, Xu Changqing also remembered that when she was with Li Lanfang before, she had expressed her meaning in this regard, but unfortunately she didn't take it seriously at that time.

"Xiu'er, stop crying. Your sister is such a smart person and will not mess around. Don't worry, I'll find a way for you."

"Master..."

Xiu'er leaned in Xu Changqing's arms and kept sobbing.

After finally sending Xiu'er back to rest, Wu Sanmei quickly came forward: "Brother, what's going on? Who lost her?"

"It's okay, a little woman I met before is Xiu'er's sister. Third sister, please worry about this and ask for more information. It's not easy for a woman, so don't really have anything wrong."

"good."

After finding something for Wu Sanmei, Xu Changqing returned to the inner study room and was a little tired for a moment.

This time, when I came to the capital to reward, the reward actually only accounted for a small part of Xu Changqing's goal. After all, even if Xu Changqing did not come, the reward would not be missing. With the character of Emperor Chongzhen, even if Xu Changqing fought desperately, there would not be much change.

Xu Changqing’s real purpose is to establish his own reliable intelligence agency in the capital!

However, now, this is really hard.

There is no suitable staff and no suitable platform.

When doing intelligence, the best institution is all kinds of education, especially brothels with large passenger flow and high-quality entertainment venues.

But even if Xu Changqing can buy brothels, he has no trust and can support him.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The people who get up are almost a vicious cycle.

Li Lanfang is a little talented in this regard. Unfortunately, the time is too short, and the two of them don’t trust each other enough, and Li Lanfang is too young.

...

For the next two days, Xu Changqing stayed in the mansion and did not go out, which was considered as hiding his strength and maintaining a low profile.

Wang Chengen did not force Xu Changqing anymore. After all, he could not force such things. Otherwise, if something happened to Xu Changqing in the Shaanxi battlefield, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

With another crisp spring rain coming, news finally came out on the reward.

As expected, the reward will be held at the end of this month, and there will be three or four days left.

Unfortunately, the rumors are flying all over the sky now, and no one is sure to write them.

And Li Lanfang's side seemed to have evaporated from the world. I don't know if I left the capital or something, but there was no news.

Early in the morning, Wu Sanmei took Xiu'er, Bian Yujing, Chen Yuanyuan and other girls to the temple to burn incense. Xu Changqing also took a carriage and only brought a dozen Li Qilang and others to the house. She changed into casual clothes and wandered around the city without any purpose.

Compared to the mighty horses of war, Xu Changqing also fell in love with the carriage at this time. It was mainly private enough to see the scenery, but others could not see you.

Before I knew it, the carriage arrived at Xuanwumen Street and saw the gate of Xuanwumen from afar.

Xu Changqing thought for a while and said, "Go to Caishikou for a walk."

"yes!"

Soon, the carriage turned around and headed south.

Because it rained, there were not many people on the streets of the outer city, and few pedestrians were also in a hurry. It was about to reach Qingming Festival, which was in line with the famous saying: "It rained heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road were about to break their souls."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but think of Li Lanfang again.

I don’t know if this little girl has a memory.

If she still can't listen to her words and goes to a casino to be clever, then even Xu Changqing's reputation cannot save her.

It's like a later generation of gambling online. When you really repent, it's too late...

When I arrived at Caishikou, it was a lot more lively here.

This is a gathering place where people are not only chopped down, but also have various black markets. Unexpected transactions can be found here.

Xu Changqing thought for a while and went to the place where General Yuan was slapped in a stern, got off the carriage, put on a straw raincoat, stood in the rain, imagining the atmosphere at that time.
