After a while, the carriage came to the street in front of the governor's mansion.

Before even approaching the gate, Ouyang Rong's carriage had already met another group of carriages, blocking each other's way.

"Master..."

"Just give in, it's okay."

"Yes, sir."

Ouyang Rong came to his senses and gave instructions casually.

Ali drove the carriage and took the initiative to get out of the way.

Ouyang Rong opened the car curtain and first took a look at the Governor's Mansion, which was quite lively today.

Immediately, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two familiar figures in the carriage blocking the road opposite.

In the carriage opposite, a lady wearing purple gold silk and a short, fat businessman with a solid gold chilong ring on his thumb opened the carriage curtain almost at the same time to check what was going on outside.

Ever since, the eyes of both parties collided in the air.

I was stunned for the first time.

"Ouyang Changshi."

Pei Shisanniang shouted subconsciously.

"What kind of long history? Isn't there just a little Sima now, huh..."

Shen Bingqiang, who was walking straight up and down, held the attendant's hat and hummed softly.

Pei Sanniang immediately pulled off Shen Bingqiang's sleeves, and the latter reluctantly shut up.

However, when he saw the handsome young man with a calm face in the carriage opposite who was giving way, his eyes looked back and forth between her, Shen Bingqiang and the governor's house next to him.

Pei Sanniang's face suddenly became embarrassed.

…

"Hey, why haven't Chief Qin and the others arrived yet? It's almost noon."

"It doesn't matter, maybe we were delayed on the road. It rained heavily in Longcheng and Jishui County the day before yesterday. The mud and sand were mixed, and the waterways were a little inconvenient. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as in the north...

"However, there is an autumn rain and a cold. Third Young Master, Wang Prefect, please keep warm."

"Brother Lin is still good at keeping his temper and nourishing his qi. Master Wang must learn from Brother Lin."

In the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, three figures, Wei Shaoqi, Wang Lengran, and Lin Cheng, whose whereabouts had been erratic in the past, were sitting on the seats in the hall, drinking tea and chatting.

At the top of the main hall, the two seats on the left and right that should have belonged to the governor were given up. Wei Shaoqi and Lin Cheng sat down unceremoniously.

Wang Lengran was sitting at the bottom seat to have tea anyway.

However, the old governor's face showed no dissatisfaction at all.

Wang Lengran put down his tea cup and paced in the center of the hall. From time to time he glanced at the sky outside the hall, or called his subordinates. After asking a few questions, he waved his hands away with an impatient expression.

It wasn't until Wei Shaoqi put down his tea cup leisurely and said a few words that Wang Lengran forced out a smile, nodded and sat back down, continuing to wait patiently.

He said to Lin Cheng, who looked calm, without blushing:

"Master Lin is indeed a young talent, one of the few in the world. He has been sitting firmly on Diaoyutai for this period of time, which really amazes me."

Lin Cheng smiled and clasped his fists, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Master Wang, I'm sorry, I still have to learn from seniors like you."

"Hey, where is that?"

Wei Shaoqi sneered:

"Okay, you two, stop flattering each other. Brother Lin is the same, both of you have been led astray by Mr. Wang, haha."

All three of them laughed.

Wang Lengran laughed with him for a while, then looked at the sky with the sun rising high outside, and then changed the topic and asked:

"The wartime meeting was scheduled for the afternoon in the Nuange Pavilion of our mansion. However, I reserved a banquet at the Xunyang Pavilion at noon. I wanted to welcome Qin Changshi from the Chinese Army Camp to a good place, and I also posted an invitation.

Many colleagues and wealthy businessmen participated...

"It seems like Qin Changshi and the others won't be able to get through this delay, eh."

Wei Shaoqi waved his hand and said impatiently:

"Don't stare at your twists and turns all day long. You can eat at any time. The most important thing now is to see the response from General Qin. We will talk things over in the afternoon."

Wang Lengran whispered: "Actually, you can also talk while eating. The dinner table is suitable for familiar relationships."

Lin Cheng suddenly spoke:

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Wang, I asked Miss Qin to deliver the letter a few days ago. What did General Qin say in response?"

Wei Shaoqi suddenly smiled, his sharp white teeth very dazzling:

"The letter from General Qin said that he fully supports the resolution of His Majesty and the Political Affairs Hall. He has no objections to the personnel transfer of Jiangzhou Governor and the statue of Xingzifang, and he does not understand this. As a layman, he will not mess with it.

Intervene, General Qin also asked Brother Lin, you and the Jiangzhou Governor's Office to work harder. Don't let your majesty down. If you need anything during the statue making process, I will let you know. I will try my best to cooperate and share the worries of the court."

Lin Cheng smiled, then suppressed the corner of his mouth and asked:

"Old General Qin didn't mention Prince Xunyang or Prince Xunyang's Mansion?"

Wei Shaoqi smiled and said: "No, I didn't mention it at all, as if I wasn't familiar with it."

Lin Cheng shook his head and laughed, sighing: "Okay, what a cool world, great, General Qin is still very sober..."

This time, regarding the location route of the Xingzifang statue and the Xunyang Grottoes statue, although the Luoyang court has issued an order, but now we can get the official statement of the Jiangnan Road Marching Chief, Lin Cheng, Wei Shaoqi,

Wang Lengran and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.

Some of the worries that had been weighing on my mind these past few days dissipated.

As the leading general who currently controls hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangnan and Lingnan Road, Qin Jingqin's words are enough to make His Majesty, who respects the opinions of the veteran general, change his attitude "a little".

Therefore, if Qin Jingqin is still disconnected from the Xunyang Palace and has a marriage agreement, then even if he does not stand up and openly oppose the Xingzifang statue, he will have a slightly "ambiguous attitude" on this matter to embarrass Lin Cheng and the governor.

House, that’s enough for them to eat a pot.

For example, using the excuse that "military affairs on the frontline are more important" and squeezing Jiangzhou's finances on the issue of logistics and food, then the Xingzifang statue will probably be "in the distant future."

There are too many key points and twists and turns, and many discerning people in Jiangzhou are waiting for him to express his position. Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng, and Wang Lengran are afraid that he will speak for the Xunyang Palace.

Now that they had received a clear and satisfactory statement, Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng and others finally felt relieved.

The tea that was originally slightly bitter in my mouth also became a lot sweeter.

Wang Lengran whispered:

"Third Young Master, Lin Cheng's plan to benefit the Qin family, our olive branch, has there been any reply from General Qin?"

Wei Shaoqi glanced at him:

"Why are you anxious? I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu. Isn't it coming today?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Lengran was confused.

Wei Shaoqi smiled slightly, and Lin Cheng said on his behalf;

"This wartime meeting was convened by General Qin on his own initiative. It used to be held once every ten days, but this time it was half a decade earlier. It seemed like there were important matters to discuss.

"According to people on the front line, the Chinese army camp on the front line sent us not only the quartermaster Zhang Zhong or the transport supervisor Qin Yi who used to take turns coming to Jiangzhou to attend meetings and just go through the motions.

"This time, coming with the ship to the north is the Chinese Army Battalion Commander Shi Qin Yanqing, an important figure!

"Chinese Army Battalion Commander Shi is not a simple position. He assists General Qin in handling all military camp affairs except war command, including logistics and transportation of grain and grass... He is equivalent to the steward of hundreds of thousands of troops on the southwest front. He is considered to be Qin Lao's accountant.

A confidant among confidants.”

Lin Cheng's face looked a little solemn.

Wang Lengran was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "What Mr. Lin means is..."

Wei Shaoqi waved his hand:

"Jiangzhou is the most important logistics center for the southwest expeditionary army, and most of the grain and grass ships pass through Xunyang City.

"The Chinese Army Battalion Commander Shi Qin Yanqing, the Quartermaster Zhang Zhong, and the Supervisor Qin Yi together are the top team in charge of the logistics operations of the army. This time they were all sent to Jiangzhou by General Qin to participate in a routine

Don’t Governor Wang feel that the rear wartime meeting held was too fussy?”

Before Wang Lengran could speak, Lin Cheng smiled slightly and said:

"I have inquired about it, and found out that Shi Qin Yanqing, the commander of the Chinese Army Battalion, was also born in the Qin clan's Hu Guogong Palace, and is the grandson of the brother of the old general Qin.

"The appointment power of Shi, the commander of the Chinese Army Battalion, was given by His Majesty to General Qin to show the trust of the emperor and his ministers.

"So Qin Yanqing is one of the direct lineage talents who are leading the new generation of the Qin family. The position of Commander Shi of the Chinese Army Battalion was specially given to him to help him rise quickly, ha.

"So, Qin Yanqing's visit this time can be regarded as the spokesperson of General Qin. Mr. Wang, tell me, we just extended an olive branch a few days ago, but General Qin found an excuse to send Qin Yanqing here in the past two days. This is what he wants to do

Well?"

Lin Cheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
To be continued...
