In Beiliang, it was said that the Administrator had three meetings and three meetings. The third meeting was that he would steer according to the wind, be greedy for money, and be aroused by women. The third meeting was that he would not act until he saw the hare, would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, and would not kneel until he saw Prince Liang. The knowledge in this matter was not great, but it was not small either. In any case, the benevolent had their own views, and the wise had their own views. There were many snobbish people in the Northern Liang officialdom who considered themselves to be the disciples and grand disciples of Lord Li, the official. When the servant girls heard that the ruthless young master was about to return home with illustrious military achievements, they were not only skeptical, but also fearful of the impending disaster. Since Li Gongde refused to kneel before Prince Liang, and even dared to disregard imperial edicts several times, throwing them away as soon as he received them. It was easy to imagine how perverse this powerful border official was. Like father, like son. Before Li Hanlin joined the army, as Li Gongde's son and the Crown Prince's friend, he was worthy of his reputation as a dandy. If it weren't for the two golden tokens that allowed him to avoid death, he would have been dragged out and hacked to pieces a long time ago.
"Master, master, master, master, master has ridden into the city!"
A gatekeeper hurriedly ran into the garden, shouting. Coincidentally, he fell flat on his face, which made his loyalty even more commendable. The chief steward behind the Administrator saw this and curled his lips in disdain.
Li Gongde's old face was full of smiles. He coughed a few times, and ordered the chief steward, "Lin Wang, go and inform the mistress."
Four riders entered the city, and after entering the city, they reined in their horses and moved slowly.
They were led by Li Hanlin, followed by Lu Dou, Li Shiyue, and an ordinary crossbowman named Fang Hutou. He had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. He looked fierce, but his temperament was the most gentle of the four. Before the four riders entered the city, they first went to Ma Zhenzhai, who had died in the battle at the Ladder Mountain. They personally delivered the compensation to his family. Ma Zhenzhai was not the only one. Almost eighty to ninety percent of the fifty men who had died in Beimang had died. The four of them went to visit the homes of the chiefs and brothers who had died in the battle. There was still half a day of vacation left. They had agreed to stay at Li Hanlin's place for a few days, but Li October said that the main event was still to go to his place to eat and drink. He would not stop until he had gained a few pounds of autumn fat. His father was once a crossbowman of Beiliang and had just been promoted to sergeant. He had always thought that Li Hanlin was just a disciple from an ordinary family.
When October Li saw the intimidating Administrator's Mansion, and saw the old man, who was solemnly dressed in the second-rank civil official's make-up uniform, holding the new chief's hand and weeping on the street in spite of his official prestige, October Li was somewhat stunned. A woman wearing the title of a lady was crying as she hugged Li Hanlin. Her heart ached terribly.
Fang Hutou was slow to realize that a servant had already taken his horse away after he dismounted. He then nudged Li October with his elbow and asked carefully, "October, the chief's father is also an official. Why, is he older than your father?"
Li October laughed and scolded softly, "You fool, this is the chief administrator of Beiliang, second-rank! Do you think he's older or not? My father is far from it. Motherf * cker, the chief is not honest. At first, I was wondering why the chief had the same name as Li Hanlin, the villain of Fengzhou. It turns out that they are the same person! Motherf * cker, fortunately, I originally planned to introduce my sister to Lu Dou. If it were our chief, my sister would be scared half to death. "
In addition to the trusted aides of the Administrator, there was also an extremely beautiful woman standing next to Li Gongde. She looked somewhat similar to Li Hanlin, but perhaps because her eyes were naturally cold, they made her, who had a pair of charming eyes, seem a little unapproachable. When she saw her younger brother, who had always made her worry since he was a child, no matter how cold her temperament was, she quietly cried and pinched Li Hanlin hard with her eyes red. Beiliang women were mostly heroic, but there were also a few who were outstandingly beautiful. Yan Dongwu was known for his talent in Beiliang, and Li Hanlin's sister, Li Fuzhen, purely used her beauty to move people's hearts. Hsu Fengnian, as the heir and close friends with Li Hanlin and Yan Chiji, could be said to be in a favorable position. Unfortunately, he had always been at odds with Yan Dongwu. As for Li Fuzhen, who had nothing special other than her beauty, it was strange to say that she actually looked down on Hsu Fengnian from the bottom of her heart more than Yan Dongwu. The former would even say a few harsh words to the heir when he was angry, but Li Fuzhen refused to even look at him. Two years ago, she had been possessed and fell in love at first sight with a poor scholar. At that time, Li Hanlin was secretly resentful of the heir's lack of loyalty and went out to travel without telling her.
