Turbulent Times Chapter 1629: Nie Xiaoyu in the eyes of Li Jiancheng

The negotiation process between the Far East Army and the Li Yuan Group for the exchange of important hostages went very smoothly. The two parties agreed not to use large troops, but only agreed on a place.

As a hostage, Li Jiancheng has lost his freedom, and his life and death are unknown. It is naturally impossible to live comfortably in Taiyuan Mansion these days, but purely in terms of living security, his life is not bad, but it is not good either.

To be able to eat and drink enough, and the accommodation conditions are also very good, but there are no maids and servants to serve. This is already a beautiful day that many, many people dream of in this troubled world.

However, for Li Jiancheng, who was well-clothed and well-fed and served by servants in groups since he was a child, it was already very difficult.

What made Li Jiancheng even more uncomfortable was that he was never received by Wang Junlin from the beginning to the end.

Li Jian originally thought that Wang Junlin would definitely meet him in person because of his status as a prince in the Li Yuan Group, but after he was easily captured by the Pei family with the help of a beauty, he was locked up in this small courtyard when he woke up. No one has come to see me, and no one has even asked me what to say.

If it is just a small person with a low status who is underestimated, it is already a common thing, but for someone who is superior or thinks that he is superior, he is suddenly underestimated, and it is completely underestimated, it feels extremely uncomfortable .

Li Jiancheng feels this way now, and even this feeling makes him forget that he is a prisoner and a captive.

Besides, even though Shen Guo'er was imprisoned in the most heavily guarded place in Chang'an City, although he couldn't escape, he could still receive some news from the Military Intelligence Office. Li Jiancheng was completely isolated in Taiyuan Mansion. .

It's not that no one tried to rescue and deliver the news, but many masters photographed by Li Yuan and some hidden men in Taiyuan City who were used by Li Yuan all died, including one sent by a direct descendant of the Wang family. dead man.

The dead man is indeed a dead man, but in the hands of the Military Intelligence Office, with some methods handed down by Nie Xiaoyu, the dead man finally let go and confessed to the person behind the scenes: a direct descendant of the Wang family.

However, Wang Junlin did not order that Wang Junlin to kill that son, because before Wang Junlin gave the order, the current head of the Wang family, the prefect of Taiyuan County, Wang Xu personally ordered the killing of his own nephew, and He ran in front of Wang Junlin with the corpse, knelt at Wang Junlin's feet, and cried out that Li Yuan was mean and shameless, instigating his nephew to do such a stupid thing... Then he confessed his guilt with a very upright and sincere attitude.

Wang Junlin didn't blame Wang Xu too much, and even helped him up with a smile on his face.

After helping him up, Wang Junlin casually said something that had nothing to do with this matter: "Your Wang family still has too much fertile land."

After hearing this sentence, just now because Wang Junlin didn't yell at him, but gave himself a good face, Wang Xu, who was restless, felt at ease.

So, in the end, because of this matter, the Wang family took out 500,000 mu of good land in the counties of Hedong as the public land of the counties and counties of Hedong, and the government contracted it to the farmers for planting.

In addition to the 500,000 mu of fertile land that the Wang family provided before, the Wang family has already contributed one million mu of fertile land, and it is said that the remaining fertile land of the family is only about 100,000 mu.

Owning more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, it doesn't matter whether you let it go

In any dynasty, it can be regarded as the top big landlord, something that the big nobles can do, but this is the most "thin" time for a family of giants that has been passed down for thousands of years.

………

………

Early this morning, as usual, Li Jiancheng ate a simple but sufficient breakfast in disdain, and walked in the small courtyard that closed him with a sad face.

It's just that when he passed by a garden, his eyes blurred, and he suddenly found a figure in front of him.

Wearing a white dress of a style he had never seen before, she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, a girl who was breathtakingly beautiful and beyond the scope of human beings.

Li Jiancheng's eyes revealed a look of astonishment. After indulging in it for a while, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

The girl's face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, and she replied indifferently: "I am not a human, nor a ghost."

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed. He tried his best not to let go, but he couldn't help but sway, and said: "The girl is not a human, nor a ghost. She must be a fairy who descended from the earth."

The girl said: "I'm not a fairy either."

During this process, Li Jiancheng carefully observed the girl's body and shadow, and found that she was clearly a real person, and most of the timidity in his heart disappeared. Then he thought about how many masters of the Far Eastern Army's military intelligence office were in the yard. Staring at it, no matter how mysterious this girl is, she is actually a member of the Far East Army. Even with this girl's appearance, it is possible that Wang Junlin personally sent her.

"No...you...you are the junior sister of King Qin An, the master of my third brother Xuanba, but..." Li Jiancheng finally remembered ten years ago, when Wang Junlin went to serve as the prefect of Fanyang County, he stopped by to visit them In Tanggong Mansion in Hebei, Wang Junlin was accompanied by an extremely beautiful girl at that time. He remembered that just like the girl in front of him, she was cold and without any expression. At that time, his third brother Xuanba was suffering from a hidden disease and his body was weak. , his father thought that King Qin An had great powers, so he asked King Qin An for treatment, but in the end it was King Qin An's junior sister who diagnosed the condition and said that it could be cured.

However, when the girl said that it would take at least a year, my father asked Xuan Ba ​​to follow King Qin An and worshiped this girl as his teacher.

Ten years have passed since this incident. If it weren't for the fact that this girl was so perfect and impressed people very deeply, Li Jiancheng would not have remembered it at all.

"No, ten years ago this woman looked seventeen or eighteen years old. Now ten years have passed, she still looks seventeen or eighteen years old. It seems that she hasn't changed at all." Li Jiancheng's face changed drastically when he thought of this, and he looked at her. The girl seemed to have seen a terrifying monster.

"Is this still a human?" Thinking of the girl saying that she was not human just now, Li Jiancheng suddenly felt chills all over, and his heart was extremely terrified. Monster?"

Li Jiancheng's imagination is good, but he didn't dare to ask any more. Instead, he got up, pretended to be calm, and bowed deeply to Nie Xiaoyu, saying, "Jiancheng pays his respects to my aunt."

Nie Xiaoyu didn't answer for a while, as if he didn't expect that Li Jiancheng would call him that, but Li Xuanba is his apprentice, and Li Jiancheng is Li Xuanba's elder brother, so it's not wrong to call him that.

"Follow me." Nie Xiao

Yu said something lightly, then turned around and walked out of the yard.

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and followed Nie Xiaoyu to the outside of the courtyard, thinking of a possibility, he felt a little excited.

"Is Wang Junlin finally going to meet me?" Li Jiancheng's pain of being underestimated these days has mostly dissipated, and he can't help but think to himself: "Yes, Wang Junlin deliberately left me alone before, presumably to wait for a while Let me be absolutely passive in the conversation to achieve a certain purpose.”

There were soldiers from the Far East Army guarding the gate, and Li Jiancheng had a faint feeling that there were some martial arts masters lurking in places he couldn't see, but he followed Nie Xiaoyu all the way out of the small courtyard, and no one stopped or even questioned him, which made Li Jiancheng more and more sure Wang Junlin is finally going to see himself.

There was a spacious carriage at the door, driven by a one-armed old man, Nie Xiaoyu got into the carriage and motioned for Li Jiancheng to come up.

Li Jiancheng really wanted to say that he didn't want to ride in the same car with Nie Xiaoyu, but in the end he didn't have the guts to say so and climbed into the car obediently.

Fortunately, there is a lot of space inside the carriage, and there is even a coffee table in the middle. Nie Xiaoyu is sitting on one side, and Li Jiancheng is on the other side of the coffee table. However, he dare not look at Nie Xiaoyu, and opened the curtains, a little greedy Looking at the shops and pedestrians on the street.

Being imprisoned for more than a month, Li Jiancheng looked at everything on the street and felt extremely pleasing to the eye.

However, Li Jiancheng soon discovered that Taiyuan City seemed to be more prosperous than when the Li family controlled it. This can be seen from the number of pedestrians on the street and the number of customers entering and leaving shops and stalls.

Moreover, he also found that compared to before, the people in Taiyuan now have more smiles on their faces, and the number of ordinary women shopping and children playing on the street has increased significantly.

You must know that the security of Taiyuan City under the management of their Li family was better than that of the original Sui Dynasty, but women and children did not dare to take to the streets so recklessly, because they were easy to be targeted, and then they often went to the streets. Disappeared, there are too many human traffickers who sell women and children and strong men who bully men and women these days.

"It's less than three months?" Li Jiancheng muttered to himself, with a look of emotion on his face, "I don't know what the situation in Fanyang County is like?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Jiancheng put down the curtains, stopped thinking about other things, and began to secretly think about how to speak after meeting Wang Junlin in his mind.

How to talk to Wang Junlin in a neither humble nor overbearing manner without angering Wang Junlin, and then benefit yourself according to the situation, change the current state, and at least make yourself live more comfortably.

Although I can't compare to my second brother Li Shimin in terms of military affairs, and I don't seem to be able to compare with this younger brother who I have always regarded as a serious problem in terms of strategy, but Li Jiancheng has always been very confident in his eloquence.

He believes that as long as he is given a chance to meet Wang Junlin, he will be able to change something through his three-inch tongue. He has always been very confident in his ventriloquism.

However, to Li Jiancheng's disappointment, Nie Xiaoyu took him all the way to the South City Gate and left the city.

Having positioned Nie Xiaoyu as a terrifying existence like a monster, Li Jiancheng did not dare to ask questions, but secretly guessed that Wang Junlin did not live in Taiyuan City, but lived outside the city, such as in Jinyang Palace. This is also in line with Wang Junlin's identity.
