Chapter 300: Observation and Temptation

On the fifth day of the first month, the Puwang Mansion feasted and invited guests. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNot only did the clan gather again, but the princesses also came extraordinarily well, and even the saints in the palace and Queen Du also rewarded them with tens of thousands of gold. Seeing this situation, a group of people surrounded Li Tai, the king of Pu, and said all kinds of good things. And the scenery of King Pu's Mansion seems to be close at hand.

Li Xin, the king of Sipu, calmly accompanied the guests, skillfully maneuvering between the elders and his peers, making almost everyone feel at home. No one noticed that his gaze was locked on the King of Hejian from time to time, and his eyes were calm and calm. Even if he is not familiar with this person, it does not prevent him from judging the person's temperament and changing thoughts from all kinds of inadvertent details.

In addition to Li Xin, Li Wei, who is also a guest, also seems to have a strong interest in the king of Hejian County. With the kind words of the saint of the holy time before the year, he didn't seem to know how to be tactful at all, and every time he met, he seriously asked the king of Hejian for advice on how to use soldiers. At the beginning, the king of Hejian County was still able to smile and say yes, but every time it was like this, he was a little unbearable, and it was inevitable that he would gradually become tired, and he could prevaricate as much as possible.

Li Wei didn't seem to notice his boredom, and still discussed with him earnestly. And Li Jing, who was dangling around and drinking with the children of the clan, also came over from time to time, listened curiously, and interjected to ask some inexplicable questions. Just dealing with these two brothers, the king of Hejian felt that it was very tricky. What's more, the two of them pestered him openly, so that he didn't have a chance to contact other people for a while.

Wang Qiang of Hejian County smiled, and seemed to continue to deal with the two brothers of the Yue Wangfu enthusiastically, but in fact, he secretly speculated about their intentions. Could it be that he was ordered by the saint to separate him from the rest of the clan? To pave the way for no one in the clan to speak for him in the future? It's a pity that their wishful thinking may have been wrong. With King Jing here, why does he need other people to help?

"He's calm and patient." In the distance, Wang Zixian chuckled and commented, "The seven emotions and six desires are completely incomprehensible, or what we can see is only what he wants us to see." It is impossible for the heir king and the county king of the same age as him to have such a deep city and such a good temperament to hide. I remembered the group of old foxes in purple clothes in the court, each of which was not easy to deal with. ”

"I suddenly felt that he had a certain resemblance to my uncle. People who value reputation above all else will be easy-going and friendly after all. Moreover, his preferences and nature are hidden deeper than anyone else. Li Hui said, "No matter how close you are, you may not know his true temperament." Perhaps, even he himself has forgotten what his true self should look like. ”

"The so-called great compassion may be indifferent and ruthless in nature. Of course, it is more likely that his affection is only for the person he loves. The prince continued, "The real king of Hejian is full of patience, quick response, and hypocrisy. Even if the false king wants to imitate, it will never be so natural. ”

"So, I'm curious. In just a few days, how can the false king replace the real king? Under the pretext of being sick or something? Li Hui retracted his gaze and shook his head, "The same excuse can't be used repeatedly." Pretending to be sick for half a month is too dangerous, and the king of Hejian will not make such a clumsy choice. ”

"So, he's going to avoid it, or he's going to merge the differences." "After all, no one knows what kind of temperament the real King of Hejian should be. He just changes a few points occasionally, as long as it is reasonable, it will naturally not attract many people's suspicions. Even his son, Li Ren, may not know much about him. We'll have to wait and see. ”

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the mansion of the eldest princess of Linchuan held a banquet. In order to avoid the two Li Wei brothers, the king of Hejian County deliberately took Li Ren to arrive a little late. After greeting the eldest princess of Linchuan, he went straight to the concubine Zhou Ziwu. Helplessly, Zhou Ziwu is a madman, he only likes the wind and flowers, and he really has nothing to say to a martial artist like him, so he politely introduced their father and son into the clan without a few words of greeting, and he flicked his sleeves to discuss poetry and poetry with Puwang Li Tai.

The king of Hejian raised his eyes and saw that Li Wei's eyes lit up, as if he wanted to come over to continue "asking for advice", so he hurriedly took the initiative to find King Jing to speak. King Jing was an elder, and King Lu, who was sitting next to him, was also an elder, so Li Wei naturally couldn't step forward to interrupt them, so he had to leave after a while. The king of Hejian smiled slightly, and did not notice that the juniors in the corner seemed to be drinking and having fun, but in fact they were still staring at him without a trace.

"As Zixian said, he has indeed begun to avoid it." Li Hui said, "In order to avoid letting Cousin Qianli find out something strange and detect the difference between the true and false kings, he would rather be branded as selfish, and he must deliberately stay away from Cousin Qianli." Anyway, he would create more suitable reasons for himself to continue to naturally distance himself from those who tried to get close to him but were not trustworthy. ”

"What then? How do you continue to explore the truth and the truth? Li Jing hurriedly asked.

"Since he has the intention of alienating you, you do not need to rush to it, lest you arouse suspicion." Li Hui said, "Just let it be, our brothers are not without temper, they are all heirs and kings, so why bother sticking to his cold face?" Moreover, you cannot tempt, but there are those who can tempt. With that, he looked at Qin Cheng on the side.

Qin Cheng nodded, got up and went to the banquet place of the ladies at the back. After all, he is the son of the eldest princess of Qinghe, and he is the unmarried man, so he walks around a few steps at will, and he is also very popular with the female dependents. He reminded him a few words, Princess Changning and the others couldn't wait, and naturally they would look for a suitable opportunity to make a move.

"......" Li Jing thought for a moment, and Zhengse persuaded, "Brother, I wanted to say it a long time ago...... You also learned badly with Wang Zhiyuan. What effect can those small means have on the king of Hejian County? We are dignified men, even if we want to be tempted, we must also go into battle by ourselves openly. ”

The prince, who had poured himself wine, listened to this, and immediately laughed and said nothing.

Li Hui glanced at him: "The big husband acts and does not stick to means. Moreover, these small means of the inner house may not be useless. There is no danger in merely temptation. If you really don't want Yue Niang and Huan Niang to get involved, just tell them yourself. If you can convince them, I have no objection. ”

“…… If I can convince them, do I need to tell you? ”

"It's good to understand."

On the seventh day of the first month, King Jing's mansion feasted. Wang Zixian did not get the invitation, so Li Hui took the princess alone. This time, the king of Hejian came very early, and after politely greeting King Jing, he followed King Jing's eldest son to visit the garden under the pretext that he was interested in the palace garden. Li Hui, who had been staring at him for several days, moved his eyes slightly, and Li Xin, who was standing beside him, was also thoughtful.

"This is the first time you saw him? At a cursory glance, there are indeed not many flaws in appearance and demeanor. But if you look closely, you can also find a lot of differences. If a person who has been in a lower position for a long time wants to pretend to be a person in a higher position in a short period of time, there will definitely be something unnatural. ”

"Brother is right. However, the king of Hejian is obviously / tuned / taught/has a good way. In less than ten days, the man had grown from six to eight. If I hadn't told Brother I suspected that there was something wrong with the King of Hejian, would Brother have been able to tell at a glance that he was actually another person pretending? ”

Li Xin was silent for a moment: "Under the circumstance that he deliberately avoided, it was indeed impossible to think of it." After all, I had no intention of getting too close to him so as not to be taken advantage of by him. "With the current identity of the King of Hejian County, King Pu's Mansion can only avoid him. If he hadn't done it on purpose, he would never have paid so much attention to a distant enemy.

"After nine points of resemblance, if no one notices in advance, who else can see the anomaly? - Zixian noticed it, maybe he can only say that this is the will of heaven. Li Hui narrowed his eyes, "Let's test this false king again." I wonder how he would have acted if something unexpected happened to him, he seemed to be pretending to be good. ”

This kind of temptation is a good time, and Li Wei should naturally come forward. As for Li Jing, just in case, it's better to stay away. Not long after, Li Wei, who was also strolling around the garden, "coincidentally met" the king of Hejian County. Yesterday he couldn't get advice, but today he was naturally very enthusiastic, and he didn't care about anything else, so he began to ask about many questions about the use of troops that he had been thinking about recently.

Some of the simpler questions were answered by the king of Hejian by telling his own battle examples. When he asked again, he began to avoid answering, and said, "Now that we are visiting the garden, we are both guests, so we can't take the lead." As for the way to use troops, how about discussing it next time? ”

Li Wei naturally did not chase after him, and smiled slightly: "Brother Clan is right. Since we all came to see the garden of my uncle's house, Uncle Lao Tang continued. I heard that the Jingwangfu Garden has been renovated once in the past two years, and I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, so I should appreciate it. ”

So, the two went to the garden together, and during the process, they met naughty children and reckless maids and other accidents. King Jing's eldest son had to apologize and hurriedly sent them back to the outer courtyard. After the silence returned to the vicinity, not far away, Wang Xiangniang, who was quietly hiding in the rockery, covered her frozen red face, slowly retreated a few steps, and left silently under the cover of Princess Changning's maid.

In King Jing's Mansion, naturally they can't be arranged with them like King Pu's Mansion and Linchuan Eldest Princess's Mansion. However, it was worth it to suffer from the cold wind for an hour. Today's harvest is simply heart-wrenching. Thinking of this, Wang Xiangniang even became much brisker. She couldn't wait to share it with Princess Changning!

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, an eldest princess feasted in the mansion, and the king of Hejian said that he was drunk and unwell, and he came late and left early. Because he looked a little pale, Li Xin, Li Wei and others were quite considerate, and asked him to go back to the house to rest earlier. Li Jing also volunteered to send him home, but he naturally refused.

When he called Li Ren to leave, the young man stood up from the side of the King of Jiangxia County, and couldn't help lowering his eyes, as if he was extremely reluctant. Jiangxia County Dynasty bowed his head slightly, and he stepped out. At that moment, the King of Hejian County, who still looked faintly loving, glanced at the King of Jiangxia County, and his expression seemed to be a little complicated.

Li Hui, who was watching coldly, looked at the king of Jiangxia and Li Ren, and he was also full of thoughts.
