Chapter 866 Gu Tingye surrenders to the army

Time passed slowly, and it was nearly two months. Mrs. Sheng and Minglan finally returned to Bianjing without any danger.

Because Hualan was pregnant, her body gradually became heavier and it was inconvenient for her to run around. Li Zhan could only come to Sheng Mansion alone to pick up the old lady Sheng.

Li Zhan was sitting at the bottom, listening to Old Mrs. Sheng talking about the dangers she encountered along the way. She mentioned that the state capital near his hometown was not peaceful, and a group of bandits broke out to cause trouble. They even talked about how Minglan had the audacity to stand up for Sheng Shulan. She actually went to the Chu Pavilion of Qin Tower to negotiate with the old bustard, and obtained the title deed of Sun Zhiping's concubine, forcing Sun Zhiping to reconcile with Sheng Shulan.

After saying this, Mrs. Sheng also took a deep look at Li Zhan. Sheng Hong originally wanted to bring Li Zhan and Sheng Shulan together. Seeing the gap between Shulan and Hualan now, she was a little emotional.

Minglan listened to her grandmother's complaints about herself, and just sat down obediently with a smile on her face, ignoring the complaining eyes of Mrs. Sheng.

After listening to Old Mrs. Sheng's turmoil, Li Zhan told Old Mrs. Sheng about the marriage between the Duke's Palace of Qi and Prince Yong's Palace.

Mrs. Sheng was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Sheng Minglan who was very calm with some worry. She sighed, pressed her eyebrows tiredly, made an excuse for being tired, and went back to the bedroom to rest, leaving Minglan behind. In place.

Li Zhan knew that Mrs. Sheng's intention was to let him talk to Minglan about Qi Heng.

Li Zhan looked at Minglan, who was still in the ancient well, with a soft and bright smile on his face, and said to Minglan candidly.

"I won't hide it from you. I personally planned and planned the marriage between Qi Heng and the head of Jiacheng County, just to make someone angry!"

Minglan was a little surprised. The slight sourness in her heart disappeared in an instant. She was completely absorbed by Li Zhan's words. She stared at Li Zhan with eyes as agile as a deer, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand. hinged together.

Li Zhan looked at the curious Minglan and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Minglan's feelings for Qi Heng were not as deep as imagined. Although he was a little sad just now, it was obvious that Minglan had almost let go of Qi Heng. , and then explained to Minglan in detail how he operated to connect the Qi Duke's Palace and the Yong Prince's Palace.

Minglan gradually became fascinated while listening, and was impressed by Li Zhan's exquisite strategies, but she was still a little puzzled, so she asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law, King Yong is the favorite to win the throne after all. Aren't you worried that in the future, King Yong will become the prince and become a great treasure, and the Duke of Qi will gain power?"

Li Zhan glanced at Ming Lan with approval. As a young girl who had not yet left the government, she was already smart and wise to think of this problem. Even Sheng Hong had not thought of this and was only happy. .

A disdainful sneer hung on the corner of Li Zhan's mouth, his sword eyebrows were raised slightly, a touch of pride flashed in his eyes, his hands were slightly raised, and he said inscrutably.

"The one who laughs happily does not necessarily smile for a long time. Although King Yong and King Yan are in power now, who can guarantee that they will become crown princes?!"

Minglan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the calm Li Zhan in disbelief. She suppressed the terrible speculation that suddenly popped up in her heart, and quickly changed the topic, saying worriedly.

"I met Uncle Gu on the way back to my hometown. Thanks to his protection, I was saved safely. It's just that he is in a very embarrassed state now. He is wandering around the world with Sister Rong, wandering around and looking very haggard. I can't bear to see him!"

Li Zhan nodded when he heard this. He already knew that Sheng Minglan was in danger on the way. Although the guards he trained worked well and protected Mrs. Sheng, Minglan still had an accident in her panic. It should be that When he was rescued by Gu Tingye, it was obvious that the power of fate was very strange, which caused the two people who couldn't look at each other to intersect again.

Gu Tingye couldn't bear to talk about it, so he returned to Bianjing the next day, visited Li Zhan, and made a request to Li Zhan.

"Now that I am burdened with the infamy that angered my father to death, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to take the imperial examination again!"

"I'm going to join the army, but I'm just worried about Sister Rong. I'll send her back to Bianjing and ask Grandma Chang to take her with me!"

Li Zhan nodded, listening to Gu Tingye talk about his encounters and experiences during this period, and quietly listening to Gu Tingye talk about his depression during this period and his future plans.

Gu Tingye thought of the girl's bright eyes and sincere persuasion, and said with determination.

"It's just that Sister Rong is getting older and it's time for her to study. Now I'm in a situation where everyone has betrayed me and I have no choice but to beg you!"

Li Zhan smiled and saw the tenderness flashing in Gu Tingye's eyes just now. He knew in his heart that he seemed to have one more brother-in-law, so he answered easily.

"This is a simple matter. Now that I am in charge of the Hanlin Academy, it is not easy to find a school for my niece!"

Gu Tingye was stunned when he heard this and looked at Li Zhan in confusion, wondering what he meant by this.

"Aren't you at the Yushitai?"

Li Zhan smiled proudly and showed off deliberately.

"Now I am also a Hanlin bachelor, so I have been promoted to a higher level!"

Gu Tingye was open-minded and not jealous of Li Zhan's successful official career at all. He was really happy for Li Zhan and punched Li Zhan in the chest and said happily.

"I really have you. Now you are a third-grade Hanlin bachelor. You will definitely be able to become a highly respected minister and rule the world in the future!"

Li Zhan took a look at Gu Tingye, who had clear eyes and no trace of jealousy, and said with satisfaction.

"Although I can find many excellent schools for Sister Rong, I think it is best for her to be sent to the school in the Hai family. That is Changbai's in-law family, who can take good care of Sister Rong!"

Gu Tingye nodded when he heard this and agreed very much with Li Zhan's proposal. Sheng Changbai was his best friend and Sister Rong would never be wronged if she went to Haijia School to study.

"This is a problem for you. In my current state, I don't have the shame to see him!"

Li Zhan understood that Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai were friends of the same age. They both admired each other's ambitions at the beginning. Now Sheng Changbai has achieved his wish of becoming a high school scholar and entering the officialdom to fight for his ambitions, while Gu Tingye has become a street rat and has become a human being. Disgusted, how can I be embarrassed to meet this good friend if I don't show off.

Gu Tingye only stayed for one night, then packed up his things and went to Yuzhou. He asked Zhao Zongquan, the Yuzhou regiment training envoy, for a favor, asked for a letter of recommendation, and then went to join the army.

Li Zhan arrived at the Sheng Mansion, found Sheng Changbai, and told him about Sister Rong. Naturally, he would not refuse. He personally visited the Hai family, arranged for Sister Rong to attend a school in the Hai family, and asked the Hai family to add more take care of.
