Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Carriage at Night
"Uncle Wu, where are we going?" Li Zhang was pulled out of the back door by Lu Wu and asked as he walked, just now he only had time to explain to the wild dog, telling him to be alert at night, it is best not to go out, so as not to take care of the family.
"Don't ask so much, wait until you get into the carriage!" Lu Wu replied without looking back.
"And the carriage?" Li Zhang was even more stunned when he heard this, the carriage is a rare thing, he has been in the Great Song Dynasty for so long, and he has only taken an ox cart or a donkey cart, but he has never been in a carriage.
Just as he was talking, Lu Wu pulled Li Zhang out of the alley, only to see that there was already a carriage waiting outside, and it was with a carriage, and when Li Zhang followed Lu Wu into the carriage, he found that there was still a person in the carriage, it was Li Yonghe, who had stolen the family's money to gamble before, and after losing, he would never see a figure again.
"Dalang." When Li Yonghe saw Li Zhang come in, he also showed him a kind smile cheekily, but Li Zhang just nodded to him indifferently, he had already given him a chance, and he didn't seize it, which made him very disappointed.
Seeing Li Zhang's indifferent behavior, Li Yonghe also smiled awkwardly, but he also knew that he was at a loss, so he shrank in the corner of the carriage and stopped making a sound, but Lu Wu said at this time: "Da Lang, put aside your father and son in advance, this time I will take you to meet a very important person, try to talk as little as possible, and act according to my eyes!" ”
"Uncle Wu, who are you going to take me to meet?" Li Zhang couldn't help but ask curiously at this time, last time Lu Wu said that he would take him to meet someone, but he refused to disclose any information about the other party, so Li Zhang was also very curious.
"This ...... I can't reveal the identity of the other party, don't guess when you see the other party in a while, let alone ask! Lu Wu hesitated for a moment at this time and admonished again.
Li Zhang felt even more confused when he heard this, and then asked again unwillingly: "Then what is the relationship between the other party and us, why did he suddenly want to see us, can you always tell me?" ”
Lu Wu actually encountered such a thing for the first time, and when he learned that the person was going to see Li Zhang's father and son, he was also a little flustered, and after thinking about it for a few days, there was no way to deal with it, so he could only let Li Zhang's father and son talk less, and then he would be improvised, but now when he heard Li Zhang's questioning, he also felt that it was a little inappropriate not to tell Li Zhang?
"Brother Wu, what is that person's plan to see our father and son, you better tell us the truth!" At this moment, he suddenly saw Li Yonghe who was shrinking in the corner and said, and hearing his words, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, Lu Wu and Li Yonghe obviously knew who the person they wanted to see was, it seemed that there must be many secrets between them that they didn't know.
"That's it!" Lu Wu was finally moved by this speech, and finally answered Li Zhang's words with a long sigh, "The person you want to see today is a woman, so you should be ...... Just treat her as your elder, you must be respectful when you see each other, as for her purpose in seeing you, it's actually nothing, she just wants to see your father and son with your own eyes. ”
"Elders?" Li Zhang also glanced at Li Yonghe next to him with some confusion when he heard this, he had never heard Li Yonghe say that there were any elders in their family?
"Really just looking?" Li Yonghe didn't seem to believe Lu Wu's words at this time, and the panic on his face did not fade.
"It's really just a look, and it's mainly because of Da Lang's performance during this time, plus the fact that he helped the court to grasp the party's detailed work, which attracted her attention." Lu Wu patiently explained at this time.
"That'...... So, her main target is Da Lang? Li Yonghe asked again.
"Yes, you will talk less when you arrive, as for Da Lang ......" Lu Wu also looked at Li Zhang when he said this, and after a while, he said to Li Zhang, "Da Lang, I know that you are very assertive and smarter than ordinary children, but this time the situation is different, when you see the other party, don't talk nonsense, it's best if the other party asks you and you answer, don't talk nonsense if the other party doesn't ask you, otherwise it may cause a big disaster!" ”
"Is it that serious?" Li Zhang couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard Lu Wu's words, he thought he was just seeing someone, but listening to the meaning of Lu Wu's words, it felt more like going to the Hongmen banquet.
"It's so serious, boy, you must not be smart, otherwise not only will you be unlucky, but you will even be affected by the raccoon!" Lu Wu warned solemnly again at this time.
Hearing Lu Wu say this, Li Zhang finally showed a solemn expression, although he didn't know who this so-called "elder" was, but at this time he also understood that this person should have a lot to do with Lu Wu's mysterious background, and might even be a great figure in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise with Lu Wu's temperament, he would not have told him so solemnly and repeatedly.
Then Li Zhang didn't ask again, Lu Wu didn't say more, Li Yonghe shrank in a corner and didn't come out, and for a while the whole carriage fell into a tense silence, while the carriage outside moved forward quickly, and the city of Tokyo had begun a curfew at this time, but no one stopped their carriage.
There was only the sound of rolling wheels in the silent street, Li Zhang felt a little bored, and wanted to open the window to look out, at least he wanted to figure out where he was going, but what he didn't expect was that the window was nailed, and when he wanted to push the car door, he found that the coachman outside had locked the door.
"Don't look at it, when you get to the place, the coachman will naturally open it!" Lu Wu opened his mouth to stop Li Zhang at this time.
"Uncle Wu, you are too mysterious, I don't know who the other party is, and I don't know where I'm going, is it possible that you let me see the emperor?" Li Zhang was also a little speechless at this time, the unknown is the most terrifying, in this dark night in a carriage that he didn't know where to go, which made him very insecure, if it wasn't for Lu Wu, I'm afraid he would have tried his best to jump out of the car and escape.
"Shut up, it's a big sin to be disrespectful to Your Majesty!" Unexpectedly, when Lu Wu heard this, he suddenly scolded Li Zhang.
"Huh? I...... I can't use an analogy? Li Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Wu's scolding, and then asked with some grievances.
"The emperor is the top, the emperor is the bottom, Your Majesty is the lord of heaven and earth, and it is disrespectful to declare it!" Lu Wu said very seriously at the moment, there was a lantern in the carriage, and under the dim light, his expression seemed to be full of solemnity, which was also the first time Li Zhang saw Lu Wu show such an expression.
"Well, I was wrong, and I will never do it again!" Although Li Zhang couldn't understand Lu Wu's feelings for the title of emperor, he still recognized his mistake very interestingly at this time, but judging from Lu Wu's expression, Li Zhang deduced one thing, that is, Lu Wu is likely to have royal connections, so it can reasonably explain why Jin Shan is so afraid of Lu Wu.
"Could it be that Uncle Wu took me to see a relative of the emperor today?" Li Zhang's mind suddenly had such an idea, but what kind of royal relatives would be interested in their father and son?
"Wait? Just now Uncle Wu said that the other party was a woman, but Li Yonghe seemed to be very afraid of the other party, could it be that this woman was related to Li Yonghe? Thinking of this, Li Zhang couldn't help but turn his head to look at his cheap father.
Li Yonghe is just thirty years old this year, but because of his irregular life for many years, he looks a few years older than his actual age, and his face looks very sloppy with a scruffy beard, but soon Li Zhang secretly sighed in surprise, because he found something that he hadn't paid attention to before.
There is a saying called "watching the beauty under the lamp", in fact, many people should have experience, that is, when the light is dim, because you can't see some flaws on the woman's face clearly, it will make people feel that the woman is more beautiful than usual, in the same way, this sentence can also be used on men, and now the lights in the carriage are dim, ignoring some of the shortcomings and cringe temperament on Li Yonghe's face, Li Yonghe's appearance is actually quite good, even if he is thirty years old, he can still be called handsome.
In fact, Li Zhang and Tanuki also inherited Li Yonghe's appearance, the appearance of the brother and sister belongs to the upper posture, even if they are still young, but as long as they are not disfigured, they will definitely not be bad in the future, and Li Yonghe is tall, and he must be very pleasing to women when he is young.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help but wonder if the person he was going to see today could be the love debt that Li Yonghe caused when he was young, right? However, it doesn't make sense, because with Li Yonghe's identity, it shouldn't be possible to contact a woman with too high status, and Lu Wu can be involved in this matter?
The more Li Zhang thought about it, the more confused he became, but he was sure of one thing, no matter what the relationship between the woman who wanted to see him and Li Yonghe was, it must be the grievances of their generation, and it shouldn't have much to do with him, but the other party was interested in him, which made him even more incomprehensible.
Just when Li Zhang felt that his brain was about to turn into a mess, suddenly the carriage began to slow down, which made him also refreshed, and immediately left all the messy thoughts in his mind behind, now that there is too little information, it is not too late to see the other party with his own eyes and make a judgment.
However, what Li Zhang didn't expect was that the carriage then stopped and went, it seemed to pass through many portals, and finally after half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and then the outside door was opened, Lu Wu was the first to get out of the carriage, and then Li Zhang jumped down the second, as for Li Yonghe, he was timid, and it took him a long time to get out of the carriage.
Li Zhang didn't have time to pay attention to Li Yonghe at this time, because when he got out of the carriage, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him, only to see that in front of them was a tall and majestic hall, and there were four fierce statues carved in front of the temple door, which looked like a Taoist temple or a temple, but it was a little different, which made Li Zhang even more confused, and he couldn't figure out where he was?
