"Lord Wang, are you here?"

The next morning.

Li Zexuan had breakfast and received a report from his subordinates that Li Xiaogong was coming, so he hurriedly rushed to the main hall to entertain him.

With Li Xiaogong's identity, he naturally didn't need to be notified when he came to the Li Mansion, so he was directly welcomed to the main hall by the housekeeper, waiting for Li Zexuan to come while serving tea.

"Hehe, sit down!"

Li Xiaogong smiled heroically and said, it can be seen that he should be very comfortable recently.

"Yes."

Li Zexuan felt a little awkward, this is my home! How did you make it look like I'm a guest and you're the host?

"The army and fleet going south tomorrow will be launched, presumably Xiao Xuan should know, right?"

Seeing Li Zexuan sitting down, Li Xiaogong played with the tea cup in his hand and asked casually.

Li Zexuan nodded and smiled: "Well, this kid does know that the prince shouldn't be in the barracks to purge the army at this moment?" How can you still have time to see the kid? ”

"Hah! My Datang army is waiting for it every day, and there is a lot of training every day, where do you need to do those things that sharpen your guns on the spot? Besides, even if this king is not there, the generals below will arrange it, otherwise what do you want them to do? ”

The corners of Li Xiaogong's mouth twitched, and he said nonchalantly.

Li Zexuan's heart moved, and he secretly said that this is the style of a strong country! From the kings and nobles to the common people, they all have a strong self-confidence in their bones, which is not available in the Song, Late Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is no wonder that in a few years, the Tang Dynasty will be strong and have no friends.

"This king came today, one is to thank you for providing the compass, this thing is so easy to use, this king has a lot of old sailors, see this thing one by one can't put it down, keep saying that this compass is a good thing to save lives! This king also asked His Majesty for your merits, but His Majesty seems to have other plans, and he doesn't want to reward you now, so this king can't influence His Majesty's will, so he can only come to the door in person to thank you! Your kid's move has saved the lives of many soldiers! ”

Li Xiaogong said and solemnly bowed to Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan was shocked, hurriedly staggered his body, and said: "The prince is serious, as a commander, you care about the lives of the soldiers, it is understandable, the boy is my Tang people, and now he can enjoy this stable living environment, but he is all the front-line soldiers who exchanged their lives for it, and now he can do something for my Tang army, which is also what the boy should do, but I dare not accept this gift from the prince!" ”

In fact, he knew in his heart that the reason why Li Er didn't take advantage of the situation to reward himself was probably still thinking about wireless telegraphy, right? He did want to get the title as soon as possible, but he didn't want to be led by Li Er's nose all the time, so this time he directly picked on his son and quit, and if he didn't get the title, he wouldn't be promoted! He's having a good time now anyway.

"Ha~! You kid is still talking about one set! But what you said is also very reasonable, it is rare that you have such a high consciousness! ”

Li Xiaogong saw that Li Zexuan did not accept his salute, and he was not reluctant, he sat back in his place and said with a smile.

"Hehe, the prince has won the award!"

Li Zexuan laughed dryly, slandering Li Xiaogong in his heart for being untruthful, since he came to thank me, why didn't he bring some generous gifts when he came? For example, the night pearls that Wang Yu gave last time were good, he believed that Li Xiaogong must have this thing at home, so he was reluctant to give it up!

If Li Xiaogong knew what Li Zexuan was thinking, he would have to kick it over with a big foot! This time, he commanded the army to go south, and he didn't give him private work, in the final analysis, he was just working for Li Er, and he couldn't pay out of his own pocket for this!

"This second thing~~, the chart you gave Xiao Xuan before, this king specially found some seafarers to verify, and the result is that your chart is seamless, very perfect! With this fine chart, coupled with a compass, this king is more confident in this voyage, thanks to you boy! In this way, if you have any difficulties in the future, come and tell this king, if this king can help, he will definitely try his best to help! ”

Li Xiaogong touched the half-grown beard on his chin and said boldly.

Li Zexuan was overjoyed, and secretly said that this is about the same, he has been busy for so long, and he has finally received something in return.

"Hehe, that kid thanks the prince, I wish the prince a triumphant return in advance!"

Li Zexuan smiled with a smile. It is not easy to gain the friendship of a prince, which is equivalent to having another backing.

……………………

"Do you want to go in? But what do you say when you get in? ”

Yongle Fang.

Meng Wenhao stood opposite the Li Mansion, looking at the tall wall, a little hesitant.

He felt too depressed at home in the morning, and originally planned to go to Anyi Fang to see how Xiao Yu'er was doing recently, but passing by Yongle Fang on the way, he didn't know what kind of thoughts he had in mind, and walked in by ghost, and when he arrived next to Li's mansion, he looked at it from afar, and hesitated.

"Hehe, then the prince will go slowly, the kid will go to Bashang tomorrow to see you off!"

Just when Meng Wenhao hesitated, there was a burst of laughter from the front door of the Li Mansion, and then two people came out, one was Li Zexuan, and the other was a middle-aged man full of luxury, but Meng Wenhao had never seen it.

"Haha, that's okay, see you tomorrow!"

I saw the middle-aged man laugh loudly, get into a luxurious carriage parked in front of the door, and then the carriage started and drifted away.

"Huh~? Wen Hao? Why are you standing here? Are you here to be a teacher? Why not come in? ”

Li Zexuan was about to turn around and go back to the house, but he inadvertently swept to Meng Wenhao at the entrance of the lane, and he asked curiously.

Meng Wenhao was taken aback, a little panicked in his heart, he just went to see Li Zexuan talking to the middle-aged man, and he forgot to avoid Li Zexuan's sight, and now that he was discovered, he could only go over and reply. But the strange thing is that he obviously saw that Li Zexuan didn't shout hard when he spoke, but his voice traveled so far, it was really strange.

"First... Hello sir! Students just... Just passing by! ”

Meng Wenhao slurred.

"Huh~?"

The corners of Li Zexuan's mouth pulled out a meaningful smile, then glanced at Meng Wenhao, and said with a smile: "Hehe, since you are passing by, you are so coincidentally bumped into by me again, then go in and sit by the way!" As a teacher, this is not Longtan Tiger's Den, Wen Hao, what are you so afraid of? ”

"No... The student was not afraid, but he was afraid of disturbing Mr. ”

Meng Wenhao hurriedly argued.

"Heh~! Don't be afraid to get better! Come in, I also have something to tell Wen Hao! ”

Li Zexuan said, without waiting for Meng Wenhao to agree, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and entered the courtyard gate.

Meng Wenhao opened his mouth, but he didn't have time to say anything, so he could only obediently follow in, he was also very curious in his heart, what did Li Zexuan tell him.
