Chapter 61: The Marigold Table

After the prince of Shu and his people left, people began to disperse, and Xue Lingfeng said to Yang Ning: "The prince doesn't know the prince of Shu?" ”

"Why should I know him?" Yang Ning said chicly: "The Tao is not the same, even if you know each other, you will not have any friendship." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xue Lingfeng showed a hint of a smile and said, "The temperament of the prince is very similar to that of a general. At the mention of Qi Jing, Xue Lingfeng's eyes showed a slight gloom, and without waiting for Yang Ning to speak, he had already said: "Recently, martial law has been imposed in the city, if the prince has nothing important, try not to go out." ”

Yang Ning knew that Xue Lingfeng was doing it for his own good, and thought that this Tiger God Camp could also be regarded as a resource left by the Marquis of Jinyi, so he nodded and said, "Thank you Uncle Xue for taking care of me, I wrote it down." ”

Xue Lingfeng was slightly relieved, didn't say much, and left with a few of his subordinates.

As soon as Xue Lingfeng left, Lei Yonghu had already stepped forward, with a little more respect than before, and arched his hand: "World..... Shizi, it's not good for Madame to stay here, she said that she will come to the door to thank her when she turns back. ”

Yang Ning had also found out that the woman was leaving with the child, and said with a smile: "Don't bother." ”

"It's not a simple effort." Lei Yonghu said seriously: "That's the prince of Shu, if he really bumps into our little son, he ..... He may not be able to subdue the law. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Rong's voice was already sounding beside him: "Brother, you really offended the King of Shu this time." ”

"What, Brother Yuan is afraid?" Yang Ning glanced at Yuan Rong, thinking that your kid was cowering just now, he must be afraid of the King of Shu, and said angrily: "That prince of Shu whipped you with a horsewhip on the street, I see that you must not care, it seems that Brother Yuan's heart is really broad-minded." ”

Yuan Rong naturally heard Yang Ning's ridicule, but just smiled and didn't say much.

Lei Yonghu repeatedly thanked Yang Ning, and then led people away, Yang Ning couldn't help but ask Yuan Rong: "Which house is this Lei Yonghu from?" ”

"I haven't seen it either." Yuan Rong shook his head and said: "But just now he led the Kyoto Mansion to send over, and he is not a person from the Yin Mansion of Kyoto Prefecture, so he should have something to do with the Criminal Department." ”

"Oh?" Yang Ning thought to himself that the land under the feet of the Son of Heaven was full of officials, and if he was not careful, he could form a grudge with other officials.

Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes swept, Yuan Rong saw Yang Ning looking around, and said strangely: "Who is my brother looking for?" ”

"I ..... I seem to have bumped into a man earlier, it seems to be a woman......! Yang Ning only saw people coming and going on the street, frowned and said, "I didn't see it clearly at the time, and I always have to apologize to others." ”

Yuan Rong smiled and said: "Brother now doesn't look like a person from the Marquis of Jinyi, but like a person from our Ministry of Rites, he just forced the prince of Shu to apologize in public, and now he wants to apologize to others, and the old man in my family knows that he will definitely praise his brother." ”

"By the way, what is the origin of the prince of Shu, the capital is heavy, and he dares to be so rampant?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "What kind of character is Mr. Simon?" ”

In fact, he was more curious about Mr. Ximen than the prince of Shu, and Mr. Ximen easily threw him a few meters away, and his martial arts skills were by no means ordinary.

Yuan Rong said in a low voice: "The King of Shu is the king of Xichuan, in the past hundred years, the land of Xichuan has been dominated by the Li family, and now this generation of Shu kings, the Li family is already the fourth generation of Shu kings, but ..... Today's Shu King Li Hongxin is a real prince who has been given the title by the imperial court, and the previous generations have all been self-established kings. ”

Yang Ning frowned and said, "In this way, Li Hongxin is the king of the Xichuan Domain?" ”

"This is me talking to my brother in private, although the land of Xichuan is also the territory of my Great Chu, but Li Hongxin is the emperor of the land of Xichuan." Yuan Rong lowered his voice and said, "If you want to talk about this Li Hongxin, you actually have a lot of relationship with your Qi family. ”

"Is there still a relationship with our family?" Yang Ning became interested, "How do you say this?" ”

Yuan Rong smiled: "It seems that my brother doesn't know much about the past glory of your Qi family. After the division of my Great Chu and the Northern Han Dynasty, Bashu Xichuan became the heart disease of the imperial court, more than 20 years ago, your old marquis in brocade clothes was still alive, Li Hongxin's father had just passed away, the situation in Xichuan was unstable, and the imperial court immediately mobilized 100,000 troops, with the old marquis in brocade as the commander, ready to enter Xichuan. ”

"Grandfather commanded the army, naturally invincible!"

"That's nature." Yuan Rong said with a smile: "The old marquis has passed all the way, although it is not like a breakthrough, but it is also very smooth. ”

"In that case, why can the Xichuan Li family still survive to this day?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "How can the Li family still be the soil emperor in Xichuan?" ”

"Li Hongxin was still in the mourning period, our army was killed, Li Hongxin immediately dispatched troops, their Li family is deeply rooted in Xichuan, but they also made up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to resist." Yuan Rong said: "The land of Xichuan is steep and steep, there are many dangerous places, although Li Hongxin was young at the time, he was very good at using troops, and he was very good at using troops to guard various important places, and it is said that he also took out all the gold, silver and jewelry saved by the Li family for several generations, and encouraged the Sichuan army to resist the enemy. ”

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, Xichuan Chengdu Plain, surrounded by mountains, in it, it is not easy to kill it, but with the moat, if you want to kill it, it is naturally extremely difficult.

"In the battle of Xichuan, both sides are losing troops and losing generals, but Xichuan wants to fight against my Dachu in a corner, which is also wishful thinking, if you really want to fight, the old marquis will always be able to pacify Xichuan." Yuan Rong said slowly: "The imperial court is determined to pacify Xichuan, the old marquis has used troops for Xichuan for more than half a year, approaching Chengdu step by step, seeing that Chengdu will fall sooner or later, at this time, the Northern Han people have done the Li family in Xichuan a great favor." ”

"Northern Han?"

"Yes, when the Northern Han Dynasty saw that the imperial court was using troops in Xichuan, they thought it was a good opportunity and sent troops south." Yuan Rong said with a smile: "As far as I know, the imperial court did not want to give up the low-hanging fruit victory over Xichuan because of the invasion of the Northern Han people, and was ready to defend Huaishui first, take Chengdu first, and then move north." "Hehe smiled," but Li Hongxin had already reached the end of the mountain, and suddenly died down and declared himself a vassal to the court, and the war in Huaishui was tight, so the court also approved Li Hongxin's request to surrender, and gave him the title of King of Shu and transferred troops to the north. ”

Only then did Yang Ning understand what was going on, and said, "I see, it's just that this Shu land has not been completely cleared after all." ”

"So the Xichuan Li family doesn't have a good impression of your Qi family." Yuan Rong said softly: "In the Battle of Xichuan that year, the Chu army killed many of Li Hongxin's clansmen and relatives, and the Sichuan army also injured many soldiers under the old marquis. He looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Xue Lingfeng of the Tiger God Camp is your father's old department, and his father also followed the old marquis of Jinyi to attack Xichuan back then, and he was injured and blind in one eye, do you say that Xue Lingfeng can be polite to the Li family in Xichuan?" ”

Yang Ning suddenly realized, no wonder Xue Lingfeng was quite protective of himself today, and Mr. Ximen was wary of Xue Lingfeng, it turned out that the two sides had a grudge for a long time.

Yuan Rong had to explain more, and suddenly saw Yang Ning's eyes looking at one place, unable to turn his eyes, and couldn't help but follow his gaze, only to see Yang Ning looking at a flower shop diagonally opposite, he knew that this street was full of flower shops, Yang Ning was definitely not attracted by the flower shop, and took a closer look, and found that there was a woman outside the shop enjoying the flowers, wearing a water-green shirt, wearing a very ordinary, the woman's complexion was not very white, but she had a fresh and refined temperament of a small jasper.

Yuan Rong immediately laughed, leaned close to Yang Ning's ear, and said in a low voice, "Brother has taken a fancy to that girl?" The vision is not bad, this little girl is also smart. ”

Yang Ning glanced at Yuan Rong, and then walked over quickly, Yuan Rong hurriedly said: "Why are you so anxious, Brother Ning, chasing women can't be too direct, I'll teach you first." He said again: "Aren't you going to the Wuxiang Marquis Mansion?" I said, should we go? ”

Yang Ning didn't pay attention to it at all, walked through the street, and arrived in front of the flower shop, a burst of flower fragrance came to the nose, refreshing people's hearts, this flower shop is the same as other flower shops, there is a flower shed in front of the door, the flowers inside are blooming, the flower seller is an old man, the folds on his face are like the soil in the flower pot, full of vicissitudes, when he saw Yang Ning coming over, he immediately stepped forward and greeted: "Shizi, do you want to buy flowers?" There are all the best flowers here, so take a good look. ”

Yang Ning's previous conflict with the prince of Shu, many people have seen it, and many people have already known Yang Ning's identity, the incident happened near here, this old man who sold flowers was also an onlooker before, at this time to see Yang Ning coming, quite happy, but there are many high-ranking officials and ministers in Beijing, and there are not a few princes and princes shuttling through the market.

"I'll take a look." Yang Ning smiled slightly, walked to a flower pot, only a few steps away from the woman, looked at it a few times, and saw that the woman had an elegant temperament and a delicate appearance, but she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was dressed in quite light clothes, but it was very consistent with her appearance without powder.

"Shizi, there are purple gold plates, stacked cui buildings, white jade ice, well, there is a red tree in it, which is the treasure of the town store in my store." The old man diligently introduced: "If the prince has a fancy to it, I will send someone to the mansion and place it in the mansion, it will definitely look good, and the prince will reward a few dollars." ”

Yang Ning let out an "oh", thinking that this flower seller would take a name, and these elegant names could also attract people's attention.

The old man said while introducing, the purple gold plate purple flowers are golden, the petals of the stacked cuilou are overlapped, the white jade ice is pure white as the name suggests, and they are all competing for beauty, but it is a pity that Yang Ning knows very little about flowers, the old man said, he pretended to nod, and he didn't know what the flower was, and peeked at the woman, only to see that the woman was watching a plate of flowers at this time, the buds were golden yellow, and the petals were pure white.

"Shopkeeper, how much silver does this pot of marigold cost?" The woman suddenly raised her head and looked at the old man, and finally saw Yang Ning standing beside the old man, and it happened that Yang Ning was also looking at her, the two looked at each other, the woman was a little flustered, and immediately lowered her head.
