Chapter 266: The Visitor
Dusk is approaching, and the golden sunset washes the surrounding air, making everything ripen in advance, and the garden is draped in a golden style.
In the garden, Yu Chaoen slowly introduced a person, respectfully, he could not lose the identity of the waiter, nor could he neglect this man in high-crowned clothes, this person was Li Mao who had been in Chang'an for decades and returned from wandering.
"It turned out to be the royal brother!" Wu Yueya stood up, waved her sleeves to greet her, and always maintained the posture of the master, this is the princess's mansion, she is not only the master here, but also the master of Chang'an.
Li Mao's complexion is slightly yellow, her skin is slightly dark, her body is not as bloated as before, and she is a little vain when she walks, and she doesn't seem to be very good outside.
"Princess... Your Highness! Li Mao bowed, his fifty-year-old face was drawn one after another traces of wind and frost, the woman in red in front of him was always different, such as today's chaos, only she can stabilize Chang'an's position, and even recovered Tongguan, Luoyang and other important towns, in the face of such a woman, he has to admire, this admiration is also very subtle, and he is ashamed in his heart for doing nothing.
"Little Chaoen! Go to the back house to pick a few ripe melons, and Brother Li Huang will go to Tianci Pavilion with me! Wu Yueya walked out of the pavilion and walked in front of her, leading the way.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Mao followed behind, looking at this tall and confident back, the emotions in his heart became more complicated, they all said that his daughter's body was lowly, but today he knew that there were no lowly people in this world at all, after considering the words, he still opened his mouth to ask, "Your Highness, forgive Li Mao for being rude, I don't know if the princess thinks that the world should be returned to the Li family!" ”
Wu Yueya didn't turn around when she heard this, but continued to walk forward, but her posture was more upright, and her tone was very solemn, "This world is not the world of the Li family, nor is it my world, this is the world of the people of the world, it does not belong to anyone, but to everyone!" ”
Hearing this, Li Mao hesitated slightly, and then continued to follow, "I know!" Li Mao didn't mean to offend, she just wanted to know what the princess thought! ”
"My idea is very simple, Datang can't go on like this, at least in my opinion, it is terminally ill and needs an exchange transfusion treatment!" Wu Yueya paused after speaking, and then explained, "Phlebotomy treatment is to replace all the necrotic blood in my Tang Dynasty with fresh blood, so that it can be full of vitality again!" ”
As she finished explaining, she came to the renovated Tianci Pavilion, entered the backyard, came to the table and sat down slowly, and asked Li Mao to sit down with her.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Er was holding the copied dishes in each hand, chewing something in his mouth, obviously stealing it.
Wan'er and Ye came out together, carrying a large pot, this dish is called spicy fragrant pot, with pepper and other ingredients, which will arouse people's appetite as soon as it comes up.
At the beginning of dinner, Li Mao thought that the servants would not eat with the master, but found that the maids all sat down to eat naturally, although they felt strange, and this would also lose the identity of the master.
Wu Yueya didn't care at all, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables for Wan'er, and then asked Xiang Ye, "Have your two boys come back?" ”
Ye chuckled, and his tone revealed a sense of accomplishment, "The eldest and second sons are all out doing things for the princess, and now that they have grown up, they don't love their families anymore!" ”
"These two stinky boys, when they bring their father-in-law back, I will definitely teach them a good lesson, as a son of man, natural filial piety comes first!" Wu Yueya deliberately informed Li Mao of the information in disguise that the Emperor Taishang was also returning to Chang'an, but he was captured by the Black Armor Army.
Hearing this, Li Mao stopped eating, maintained a gentle image, closed his mouth after opening his mouth, and continued to eat the vegetables, as if there was something unspeakable, and his eyes were a little moist.
When the night came, Li Mao took her leave.
Wu Yueya sat in the garden and fed the big white tiger to eat meat, but her mouth was chattering, "It's not honest at all, Dabai, only you are honest!" ”
"Meow meow?" The old lynx jumped on the vegetable basket, grabbed the master's little hand with his little paws, and his face was full of resentment, where was I dishonest, always snubbing Ben Meow, "Meow! ”
Wu Yueya took advantage of the old lynx's mouth to open her mouth and fed a piece of cooked meat into it, causing the old lynx to meow in satisfaction, and then the jealous Dabai also roared.
At this moment, the wind flickered in the night shadows, and the two figures were entangled together.
One person shot quickly, his posture was flexible, one fist and one palm, dexterous and natural, among the shadows of the trees, the somewhat powerless figure was thrown under the lantern by Chu Er's back, and fell firmly.
It's just that this level of wrestling is pediatric for martial arts practitioners, and it will not cause any substantial harm to martial artists.
Zhang Heng stood up from the ground, his short beard and fluttering face looked more vicissitudes than before, but his eyes were very bright, patted the dust off his clothes, and reported to the princess, "Your Highness, I have received a secret report that the saint will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow!" However, General Chen Xuanli and his subordinates also seem to have infiltrated Chang'an, and there was a disagreement within their Longwu army at Maweipo, and General Chen and the rest of his troops were separated from the saint when they were surrounded by bandits in the Weishui Fufeng area! As far as I can see, the old general has lost an arm, and it looks like he is in danger! ”
"Oh? Chen Xuanli is a veteran, he sneaked into Chang'an secretly, I'm afraid he doesn't agree with me, then I won't be merciful, you take someone to arrest them! lest there be trouble tomorrow! Wu Yueya scratched her white chin, always feeling that something bad would happen tomorrow.
"Yes!" Zhang Heng left quietly after reporting the information, and the bad guys were busy tonight.
The next day, at the Qixia Gate in the south of Chang'an, a luxurious carriage slowly entered the city, surrounded by strict guards, these sergeants were dressed in black armor, their task was to protect the saints in it, the leaders were Ye Mang, Ye Men Jing two brothers, they brought back, but the saints.
As soon as the frame entered the city, I saw a person in front of me blocking the way, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, "Father, father! It's a child! ”
A middle-aged man with yellow skin and black skin knelt on the ground, moved to tears, this person was Li Mao, who seemed to be desperate and wanted to take refuge in Li Longji.
The car stopped, and the black-armored sergeant wanted to block the person, but Li Longji walked out of the frame in surprise and looked at Li Mao with emotion.
The black-armored sergeant retreated to the side, Gao Lishi put down his cloak and followed closely by the saint, he was different from Li Longji, he recognized the comer at a glance, it was Li Mao!
Gao Lishi suddenly caught a glimpse of a dagger out of the corner of his eye, the dagger exposed from Li Mao's sleeve, pierced Li Longji's heart, Gao Lishi crossed his hand to block, only to feel a sharp pain in the back of his hand, and a numb pain, this dagger is likely to be poisonous.
Knocking His Majesty down, enveloping His Majesty with his body, he blocked several stabbing blows with his back, and died completely, and in this way, Gao Lishi, who had been loyal to his lord all his life, fell on the saint's body, and continued to flow hot blood.
Li Mao was surrounded by the black armor army, knowing that the assassination failed, killing his father was a great unfilial piety, he was a sinner through the ages, turned around in an instant, and brought the blood-stained dagger into his heart, and at the same time saw Yang Yuhuan standing with the princess with his mouth covered.
He seemed to see the beautiful moment when the beautiful woman played the piano on the side, and a relieved smile appeared on his yellow and black face.
