Li Hao's status in Longmen County is very few who can be called a guest.

So when it comes to the guest, he can't help but feel a little nice: "Who is here?"

"The third young master of the Wang family, I heard from somewhere that we were leaving, and Baba came to follow us." Cheng Yinyin's tone was somewhat unhappy, as if she was complaining that someone had disturbed her and Brother De Jian's world.

Although Li Hao's thoughts were not as extreme as Cheng Yinyin, he also felt a little strange. This time he had given the face of the Wang family. Even if the third son of the Wang family did not hate him, he would probably not be very close to him anymore.

But unexpectedly, in just a few days, this guy not only came to find him happily, but also wanted to walk with him. What's going to do?

With doubts on his face, Li Hao returned to the yard where he lived and saw the third son of the Wang family who was drinking tea in the small hall where the guests were greeting. He smiled and said hello: "The Third Young Master is a rare guest. Today, I am here, and the humble house is full of glory."

"Brother Dejian is slapping me in the face. I am a playboy who is not as good as a martial artist. How can I afford the title of Third Young Master here?" Wang Laosan smiled bitterly and bowed: "And I'm not hiding it from my brother. I really think I'm carrying a heavy responsibility this time. I followed my brother to Bingzhou to protect my brother."

"oh?"

After Wang Laosan said this, Li Hao then remembered that Bingzhou was also called Taiyuan, which was the foundation of the Wang family. He was ordered to take charge of Bingzhou, and he really couldn't do without their cooperation.

"In this way, I have worked hard for the three young masters. When I arrived in Bingzhou, I hope the three young masters will take care of them."

"Where is my brother saying? If you want to take care of me, I will take care of you."

I have to say that Wang Laosan seems to be much better than his elder brother's ability. At least he is very low in front of Li Hao, without the arrogance of a family.

Moreover, after a conversation with Li Hao, the two sides decided on the time to set a date for tomorrow, and then said goodbye to leave without any delay, giving people a clear and neat impression.

"Brother Dejian, do we really want to bring him with you tomorrow?" Cheng Yinyin asked unwillingly after Wang Laosan left.

"Of course I have to take it. The Wang family is a land tiger in Bingzhou. We don't need to offend them because of a small matter." Li Hao looked outside the door and said thoughtfully: "And, take him along the way, we can just test the Wang family's attitude towards me taking over Bingzhou. Why not do it if you kill two birds with you?"

Cheng Yinyin nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Dejian."

The book says briefly.

The next morning, Li Hao, under the sighting of Dou Xiuwen and Wan Deyong, boarded a boat and continued north along the river. The huge Five-Tooth Battleship sailed on the Fen River. In seven or eight days, he entered the Bingzhou boundary.

The so-called Bingzhou is actually the name of an ancient state. According to legend, when Dayu controlled the flood, he divided the world into nine provinces, and Bingzhou was one of them, leading Taiyuan, Datong, Baoding and other areas.

Later, through Yu Shun to Zhou, and then to the Han and Three Kingdoms, the actual control area of ​​Bingzhou became smaller and smaller, and by the early Tang Dynasty, Bingzhou was basically the same as the size of Taiyuan Prefecture.

But even so, Bingzhou still has advantages that other prefectures are difficult to reach.

For example, the people are strong in the people. Bingzhou has been a border prefecture since ancient times. The alien races in the northern grassland have been replaced one after another. The Huns, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks, and the string control men are more than one million, but they are still blocked from the border by the bloody and fearless men.

There are more famous historical figures, such as Lu Bu during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu and Xu Huang, who are also from Bingzhou.

In addition, Bingzhou guards the Hetao area, which is as abundant as forage. It has been an excellent place for raising horses since ancient times. It has abundant grass and a gentle terrain. In Li Hao's eyes, it is an excellent breeding base. As long as it is operated properly, it can provide the Tang Dynasty with tens of thousands of excellent war horses every year.

On this day, the ship finally arrived at the destination of the trip, Taiyuan Prefecture. Li Hao and Cheng Yinyin stood at the bow of the ship, and not far away was the third young master of the Wang family.

On the dock, there were basically all the officials who were slightly more informed in Bingzhou, including the Taiyuan Prefecture Assassin, the Biejia, the county magistrates of the nearby counties, and the prominent figures of the Turkic Ashina clan, such as Ashina Smo, and Ashina Bazhuo.

Yes, Bazhuo is here today. The former Turkic prince is not very comfortable now. The tribes that once surrendered to the Turkic have now changed their appearance and have all been cast into Xueyantuo. The Tiel clan also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of Qibing Heli.

The king of the pastures is now suppressed in the Hetao area and lives a day without tomorrow. Many people believe that the reason why the Turks have today is caused by Jie Li's arrogance.

As Jie Li's descendant, Bazhuo was naturally implicated. It may be a bit serious for everyone to betrayal of relatives, but it is true that he did not speak well in the clan.

The big ship slowly landed. After the wide springboard was set up, Li Hao and his group walked slowly down.

His eyes swept over the people who were greeting below, and Li Hao smiled and bowed: "What kind of virtue is Dejian? I'm sorry for you to come to greet him. It's a sin, a sin."

Everyone was speechless, thinking that if you came alone, we certainly didn't have to welcome you, but you just almost held the emperor's sword above your head. Do you dare not come?

Li Guan, the assassin of Taiyuan Prefecture, led the team forward and took the initiative to salute: "I, please respectfully invite the sages."

"Sage, please don't give me any gifts." Li Hao, who enjoyed the treatment of an imperial envoy, waved his hand with his sword, and became more and more proud of his previous decision.

Thanks to Li Er asking for this sword, otherwise how could these old guys give face like this?

Although Li Yan felt tired of him, he had to bear it.

Although he is indeed a level higher than Li Hao in his title, he is not holding Li Er's sword after all, and others may not recognize the Longquan sword, but Li Yan is Li Xiaogong's younger brother, so he has naturally seen the sword.

Taiyuan Bie Jia and Li Yan have been cooperating with each other for many years. They are familiar with the boss's temper. They are afraid that he will make a bad thing for a moment of impulse, so they take the initiative to come forward and take the conversation: "Mr. Li, we have prepared a banquet in the city. I wonder if Mr. Hou has time?"

According to Li Hao's original intention, he did not want to join in the fun, but considering that he didn't know how long he would stay in Taiyuan in the future, he should give these local snakes the face: "It's so good, everyone, please!"

Seeing Li Hao giving face like this, everyone present breathed a little relieved, and smiled at the same time on their faces. They politely gave in to a way: "Mr. Hou asked first!"

A group of more than twenty people and more than ten carriages left the dock.

The navy warship escorted Li Hao to the scene turned the bow and went down the river to return to Chang'an, leaving only more than a hundred black armored guards behind.

Taiyuan Prefecture, as the Li family's long-lasting place, is extremely prosperous. Lintian Pavilion, the famous royal industry in Chang'an City, has branches here.

Of course, this does not rule out that Empress Changsun has the practice of taking care of her husband's face and using public for personal gain.

Li Hao followed everyone into the private room on the second floor of Lintian Pavilion. The spacious room was enough to satisfy dozens of people to eat, but today only received more than ten people. Among the people who came to greet them, all officials below the fifth rank had no power to go to the second floor.

After giving in a few words to each other, Li Hao sat first and greeted everyone for a while. After serving the wine and food, he raised his glass first: "Li came from afar, and he was not familiar with the place, so he will rely more on you in the future. I wish you this cup."

"Li Houyan is so serious, I am ashamed."

"You are polite, Mr. Hou."

Everyone below expressed their opinions, and Taiyuan Instigator Li Guan concluded at the end: "Everyone in the world knows that Li Hou has the ability of Zhu Taogong. Our Bingzhou officials are looking forward to the stars and moons. Today, we finally look forward to you. Therefore..., we should be polite to you first. Come on, let us drink it together."

Li Hao, who was in the first place, narrowed his eyes. You know, there is actually a saying about toasts at the wine table. It is the right thing to do if he is the senior official and who is in charge of the affairs first.

This is the same as the reason why the boss will not drink the first glass of wine in the future enterprises. The person below will never dare to raise his glass first.

However, Li Yan turned around the situation when he had already raised his glass and took the power of toast over. What this means is without any reservation.

Is it a threat? Or does it feel that your interests are under threat?

I knew that this trip would not be so easy. Li Hao gently put down the wine glass he raised, and the smile on his face faded: "The county magistrate has something to say. If you have anything to be dissatisfied with Li, you can directly raise it. Although Li is young, he also knows the principle of competing people with virtue."

The cold voice made the originally lively scene pause, and the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture showed a look of embarrassment, but Ba Zhuo and his gang showed a smile that was not too serious when they watched the fun.

Li Yan thought that Li Hao would definitely lack the experience of such social occasions at a young age. As long as the other party drinks the wine he toasted honestly, he will inevitably be suppressed by himself in the territory of Taiyuan in the future.

Unexpectedly, although Li Hao was young, his experience at the table was no worse than that of him, an old fox. He was very sensitive to find out that the situation was wrong, and he also turned himself into a corner.

Now, there are only two ways before him. One is to get away with it, pretend to be careless for a moment, and accompany Li Hao to drink the wine, and from then on he gave up his dominance in Bingzhou.

The second is to tear the face directly, not give Li Hao any face, and trample on it without mercy.

In just a short moment, Li Guan made up his mind and could not let Li Hao have the upper hand no matter what, otherwise his interests in Bingzhou would be all over.

"Dejian..." After making a decision, Li Yan changed into a hypocritical smile and yelled: "Oh, by the way, I'm fine with calling you like this? To be honest, we are in-laws. My niece Xueyan has already been married to you. It's not an exaggeration to call you a son-in-law, who is an uncle."

What he said is better than the singing, he is even an uncle, just a distant cousin, but he really treats himself as a character.

Cheng Yinyin beside Li Hao curled her lips and showed strong hostility towards Li Yan.

Although the little girl is also not old, it does not mean that she lacks intelligence. She was born in a family of officials, even if she was a general, she was familiar with these intrigues.

Li Hao didn't care much about this, and smiled slightly and said, "Oh? So, is this a family dinner held by my cousin today?"

Li Guan was stunned and said, "You uncle, so many officials and leaders of various Turkic tribes have arrived. Where did you tell that this is a family banquet?

With a embarrassed smile, Li Yan said: "Don't misunderstand Dejian, today's banquet is indeed a welcome banquet. However..., as a cousin, I think it's better to explain some things to you in advance."

"Cousin, please speak, my son-in-law listen carefully."

Li Hao was also helpless when he said this. After all, Li Yan's seniority was there. Unless he did not admit his relationship with Li Xueyan, his head would really have to be low.

Li Yan said first, with a smug smile on his face, and stood up to Li Hao: "Dejian, as a cousin, I must admit that you are very outstanding, and there are only a few young people in this generation who are better than you. In the battle of the Turks, you brought two brave generals to kill on the grassland, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing into a river. Even the uncle, I felt incredible."

grass!

What does this thing mean?

Give me hatred. This is it.

Li Hao found that as Li Yan talked endlessly, the Turkic people beside him began to look ugly, especially Ba Zhuo, whose blushing face was almost comparable to the monkey's butt.

But..., do I really care about this?

Li Guan talked for a long time, and saw that Li Hao still had a tepid expression, he also felt that it was meaningless.

To attract hatred, it must be meaningful if both sides are evenly matched. Otherwise, if one side is at a disadvantage, no matter how big the hatred is, it will only be regarded as a passing cloud.

After all, I have finally survived, and no one can take his life for someone who has nothing to do with him and has died.

Thinking of this, Li Yan changed the subject: "But Dejian, although you were successful in your youth, you still have some problems. For example, this time you are a member of various Turkic ministries. Maybe you have made millions of preparations before coming, but my cousin must remind you that plans are not as good as changes, and many things will not be transferred because of your personal will.

Some conflicts between the various Turkic tribes have been around for a long time, not to mention that the Turkic people have always been nomadic and live in pursuit of grass. Even if you have a thousand tricks, can you still change their living habits?

Therefore, I heard a piece of advice, don’t interfere too much in the affairs of the Turkic tribes. As for Your Majesty’s explanation..., Uncle Wei believes that Your Majesty’s intention should be based on stability. If you rashly interfere in Turkic affairs and cause turmoil, even if Your Majesty spoils you, you will inevitably punish you for an unfavorable crime. At that time, your future will be completely over."

Li Hao looked at Li Yan with a smile. After he stopped talking, he asked slowly: "Cousin finished speaking?"
