Chapter 302: What a godfather
Lu Ji patted Lu Wei's head from behind and scolded: "On the street, what kind of relatives do you recognize!" ”
Lu Wei said aggrievedly: "It's really a godfather......
Li Cailian and Lu Ji glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Is it true?" Qu Ping is back? ”
The two dragged Lu Wei to a corner of the street where no one was, and Li Cailian asked in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!" Do you see clearly? ”
Lu Wei said: "Mother, I see that person walking, exactly like his godfather." ”
Because of their height, children can only see the legs of adults from their usual perspective, so they pay special attention to the lower body of adults. In particular, there is a sense of mystery in children's cognition, and they can often remember and recognize something impressive, even if it is only a brief glance.
Lu Ji and Li Cailian will be suspicious, and it is not good to speculate.
Lu Ji said to his son: "Nonsense, how can you confirm it just from the appearance of walking!" There are many people in the world who look alike, let alone walking...... Which way did he go? ”
Lu Wei pointed in the direction of his house: "Over there." ”
Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Lu Wei is not mistaken, that person is indeed Qu Ping!
Qu Ping said goodbye to what was probably the senior brother of King Pan, and after a long journey of ups and downs, he finally arrived at Ying Tiancheng, the master of the Great Song Dynasty.
He is now dressed in old clothes, with unkempt hair and a beard, and it is difficult to recognize this as Qu Ping unless he is a relative who often sees him at close range. There are a lot of such people on the street, no one will pay attention to him, and no one will think that he is Qu Ping, who used to be Yushu Linfeng, a handsome son, and a person above and below ten thousand people.
The first thing Qu Ping did in the capital confirmed that there was indeed no similar notice in the city that wanted him, and the people were still living the same happy and peaceful life as usual.
Subsequently, Qu Ping quietly returned to his palace as a passerby, only to see that the plaque of "Xiangwangfu" had been replaced with "Qu Mansion", and there were nearly 200 guards guarding the outside of the mansion, and no one could get close to Qu Mansion.
Diagonally opposite, there was also a beggar-like figure squatting by the wall, holding a steamed bun in his hand, while slowly tasting it in small bites, as if he was afraid that he would never have to eat it again if he ate it too quickly. The beggar glanced at the gate of Qu's mansion for a long time, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes.
Qu Ping glanced at the surrounding area, this place was guarded by the Praetorian Guards, except for the beggar, even passers-by rarely passed by, I don't know what this beggar was doing squatting diagonally opposite Qu Mansion.
Qu Ping wanted to go up and check with him, but after looking at his dress, he was afraid that the other party would think that he was going to grab land with him, so he had to give up. Besides, with the appearance of that beggar, it doesn't look like he has the ability to pose a threat to the people in the house.
Let him be here for now.
Qu Ping wanted to go back to the house to take a look at his wife and children, but surrounded by guards, he was incarnated as a bird, and he would be discovered by the guards. It was too difficult, Qu Ping suppressed the expectation in his heart, so he had to pretend to be a casual stroll, passed by the door, and continued to walk forward.
Qu Ping went outside Yue Fei's Mansion again and found that Yue's Mansion was also under house arrest as rumored. I don't know how Yue Fei is now, he won't be harmed by "unwarranted", right?
Now there are still many people that Qu Ping can trust, such as Li Gang, Liu Guangshi, Yang Zaixing, Han Shizhong, etc., but their positions are too high, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble if they go by themselves.
After thinking about it, it is more appropriate to go to his first good brother, Lu Ji's house.
Since the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, Western Xia has become like a thing in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty, and most of Li Cailian's spy team has been transferred to other places, leaving only a few in Western Xia. Later, Western Xia also disappeared, and presumably those spies were useless.
"I don't know if after these things happened to her, did Li Cailian re-call the spy team to collect evidence for herself?" Qu Ping thought like this, when he saw Li Cailian, he would know everything.
On October nights, it gets dark much earlier.
When Lu Ji's family of three returned to the house, the sun had already set, and the sky was gradually darkening.
As soon as Lu Ji entered the door, he asked the housekeeper, "Is anyone here today?" ”
"Nope." The butler replied.
Lu Ji nodded, Qu Ping is coming, and he will definitely not let people find out in a big way. Lu Wei had already shouted that he was hungry, so Lu Ji told the housekeeper to take the children to the kitchen to get some food first, and the adults' dinner would be later.
Li Cailian asked Lu Ji: "Go to the study, or the bedroom?" ”
Lu Ji thought for a moment and said, "Bedroom." ”
When they entered the bedroom, they saw that there was no one outside, so they closed the door. The room was dark, and Rudge walked towards the table, ready to light a candle.
"You're so interested, are you going to close the door and go to bed so early?"
Lu Ji and Li Cailian were stunned when they heard this, this voice ......
"Lord Wang!" The two shouted in unison.
"Shhhh Be quiet. I said brother, hurry up and light the candles, the black light is blind, you don't want to see my big brother? Qu Ping smiled.
Lu Ji was a little cowardly, lit the candle tremblingly, and said, "Big brother, are you a human or a ghost?" ”
The candle was lit and reflected on Qu Ping's thin face.
Qu Ping said: "I washed my face at your house just now, and before I had time to shave, you came back......"
Lu Ji didn't wait for Qu Ping to finish speaking, he rushed over and hugged Qu Ping, speechless excitedly.
“…… Finish. Qu Ping then finished the last word.
Li Cailian was also very excited and emotional, Qu Ping had gone through so many ups and downs and obstacles, and finally had to sneak into the capital, and he couldn't go back to his home.
Will this world, which is given by him, not tolerate him?
"Okay, after reporting for so long, I'm about to realize that I'm getting prickly heat!" Qu Ping said. Beauty Nest
Lu Ji let go of Qu Ping with a smile, looked at Qu Ping carefully from head to toe, and said, "Big brother, you have suffered!" ”
Qu Ping said: "It doesn't matter if the eldest brother suffers alone, it also affects the family and your brothers. It's my big brother who didn't do a good job! ”
Lu Ji suddenly became ambitious and said, "Lord Wang, you are back, we are not afraid of anything!" ”
Qu Ping sighed: "I am not here, let some grasshoppers take the opportunity to attack me constantly, and now that I am back, I will crush them to pieces!" I came back, not because of how great I was, but because I wanted to tell others that what I lost, I would definitely get it back! ”
Lu Ji nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!" God can't take you away, and others don't need to talk about it! ”
Li Cailian was inspired by the conversation between Qu Ping and Lu Ji, and said, "Lord Wang, the lower officials did not disappoint you. When I realized the seriousness of the matter, I began to recall my brother who had been in the dark, and I have found a lot of strong evidence! ”
"Okay, emphasize!" Qu Ping said.
Li Cailian said: "I have compiled it into a book. I'll briefly state it again......"
After listening to Li Cailian's concise report, Qu Ping said with satisfaction: "Very good." My trick fell from the sky, and I can finally shoot it! ”
In addition, when Zhang Jun, the Duke of Lieguo, went to the northeast to exterminate the Yelu banner, he passed through Zhaozhou. And one of the jailers who escaped from Qingyun was hiding in Zhaozhou. Later, we followed the clues and found that the jailer was no longer there. I don't know if General Zhang Jun has seen it. But for sure, he brought back a person from Zhaozhou! Li Cailian said.
"Good! By the way, how is Daqi now? Qu Ping asked. Yelu Daqi committed a rebellion, which is somewhat related to himself, and if possible, he still has to ask the emperor for mercy.
Li Cailian couldn't speak.
Lu Ji said: "Rest in peace." ”
Qu Ping was stunned: "What? ”
"It's beheaded, and it's safe to be buried in the ground." Rudge added.
Qu Ping said with emotion: "Brother Daqi...... Ay! ”
is just a "hey", which contains his relationship and affection with Yelu Daqi for many years, and also contains his evaluation of him.
Li Cailian choked up and said, "Daqi, is my long-lost brother!" ”
Qu Ping was even more shocked: "What? Banner ...... It's your lost brother! Well, for you and for him, there is a result. ”
Lu Ji said: "Originally, we wanted to collect his body for the sake of the princess and bury him. Unexpectedly, he found a faceless puppet that was exactly the same as Cailian's from him, and it was confirmed one by one that Yelu Daqi turned out to be Cailian's younger brother. ”
"Yelu Daqi has a special identity, and you must not spread this relationship. If the emperor doesn't move Xiao Lu, he may not move you. Qu Ping admonished.
Li Cailian said: "We know this. ”
Qu Ping nodded: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
"Skipping meals?" Lu asked reluctantly.
Qu Ping smiled: "I ate it in your kitchen." By the way, let your cooks and butlers stop swearing for a while, or I'll cut their tongues and drink! ”
Lu Ji came to his senses, it turned out that Qu Ping had secretly eaten in the kitchen.
"Where is the prince going next?" Li Cailian asked.
"Wait for my good news!" After Qu Ping finished speaking, he opened the window behind him, jumped out, and disappeared into the darkness with the evidence that Li Cailian had compiled into a book.
Lu Ji closed the window, opened the door, and heard the butler shouting in the kitchen: "What thief with no conscience has stolen all our food!" ……”
Lu Ji and Li Cailian looked at each other and smiled, how long has it been since Qu Ping eaten?
Li Cailian went out and said, "Okay, stop shouting, just make another meal." As long as it's not eaten by rats! ”
The middle of next month is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Wei, and the emperor has already prepared to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Wei, and invited the princes and ministers of the capital and all over the country to come to congratulate her birthday.
After Zhang Jun knew the emperor's order, he was meditating in the study at the moment, planning to offer a unique gift, which would satisfy the emperor and the queen mother.
"In the final analysis, the birthday banquet is still based on eating, so why not work eating?" Zhang Jun thought for a while, "It's better to offer a set of banquet recipes, which is unique, to satisfy the face of the emperor and the queen mother, and to satisfy the gluttonous appetite of the diners of the princes and generals from all over the world!" ”
"That's right, that's it!" Zhang Jun muttered to himself, then spread out a large piece of rice paper on the desk, dipped the wolf in the ink that had been grounded, and wrote and read on the paper, "Let's have fifteen glasses of wine first." the first one, flower cooking quail, lychee white kidney; The second one, the milk room sign, three crispy soups...... The seventh, fried horseshoe crab with eel, goose gizzard palm soup......"
"Eel fried horseshoe crab, seconds!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out outside the door.
Zhang Jun looked at the door cautiously and said coldly: "Who! Come out! ”
"Lieguo Gong, long time no see!" Qu Ping said and stepped into the study leisurely.
Zhang Jun squinted his eyes and looked at the person who entered the door carefully, threw down the brush, walked over, and said, "King Xiang?" Is it really you? ”
Qu Ping smiled and walked to the desk, looked at Zhang Jun's masterpiece, and asked, "What is this for?" ”
Zhang Jun said embarrassedly: "Next month, on the Queen Mother's birthday, the emperor ordered important officials from all over the country to enter Beijing to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." Lord, what are you ...... I lost a lot of weight. ”
Qu Ping said to himself: "Eel fried horseshoe crab, it's a fresh name, it's the first time I've heard it!" Eel, horseshoe crab, one like a dragon, one like a turtle, that is, the meaning of nobility, but also contains longevity, and more importantly, the homonym of "dragon turtle" and "glory return". That's wonderful! Lie Guogong is worthy of being a talent! ”
