"Second prince, you were too reckless just now!"

In a wide carriage, sitting opposite Wu Yingquan was the long-bearded old man who had just pulled him out of the palace hall.

"Yu Taifu, this king is too anxious! But this opportunity is so good, if you miss it, I don't know what year and month you have to wait."

Wu Yingquan sighed and said.

The long-bearded old man's face, known as Yu Taifu, also softened a little, and said calmly: "Your Highness, the old man can understand your feelings, but now is not the time."

"He finally made such a big mistake, why is it not the right time?"

"I wonder if Your Highness has paid attention to the attitude of the Holy Lord towards the Three Princes? Even after hearing that Wu Guo lost to the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty was not angry except for surprise, why is this? It is because His Majesty has not lost confidence in the three princes, so he believes everything the three princes say. If that's the case, does Your Highness think it's time? ”

Mrs. Yu stroked his beard and said slowly.

Hearing this, Wu Yingquan became even more annoyed.

Yes, I don't know when it began, his father showed great love for his third brother, no matter what he did wrong, he would not delve into it, and once he made any merits, he would praise him greatly, he was not convinced!

"This king is anxious, what should I do in the future, I still hope that Taifu will give me some advice!"

"Your Highness, first of all, the old man said before, we need people and connections. When the three princes left Yingdu a few days ago, you did a good job, you look at the people who have been co-opted by you these days, if it weren't for the last time the three princes said that Xiao Li Feidao today, I am afraid they would have come out to speak for His Highness! ”

Wu Huanquan thought about it, but he was a little worried: "Yu Taifu, just now in the court, the king's performance was a little too much, and I was worried that those who had finally won over would retreat because of this, you see"

Hearing Wu Huan Almighty say this, Yu Taifu's face finally showed a smile of relief, and it was not in vain that he watched him grow up since he was a child, and said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, in the evening, Your Highness can invite them all to the house to gather and communicate with them again." Now that they have decided to follow His Highness, it shouldn't be so easy to defect."

Wu Yingquan put his mind at ease, thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "Mrs. Yu, do you also believe that there is really that Xiao Li Flying Knife?" ”

"The third prince should not be fraudulent because of this matter, and the legend is that this Xiao Li flying knife was used when the Tang Dynasty defeated the Xiliang cavalry before, but I'm afraid it's not groundless!"

"If that's true, what then? Wouldn't Wu be able to attack the Tang Dynasty? ”

Wu Yingquan said with some concern. 35xs

"Hehe, why don't you attack? In the days to come, His Royal Highness will have to give more advice to get His Majesty to agree to attack the Tang Dynasty! ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Yu was not worried but happy, and said happily.

"Why?"

"Your Highness, who is going to do this thing of leading the troops to fight?"

"Naturally, it's the third"

Speaking of this, Wu Huanquan suddenly realized, his eyes directly emitted light, and he saw that Yu Taifu was just about to open his mouth, but he was interrupted by him

"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not say"

With that, the two looked at each other, and then laughed, and the carriage faded away on the flat hard dirt road, and disappeared

In an empty palace, Emperor Wu stood with his hands behind his back, and after the eunuch brought Wu Yingqiu in, he closed the door from the outside.

"Father, the son has arrived."

Emperor Wu didn't turn around, but just said, "Yingqiu, I ask you again, is the matter of Xiao Li's flying knife serious?" ”

"When did my father stop believing the words of his son?"

After saying this, Wu Yingqiu's face showed a trace of helplessness.

"Hey!"

Emperor Wu sighed heavily, then turned to look at Wu Yingqiu, and said with a heavy face: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I can't believe it, I don't want to believe it!" If there is really such a powerful and domineering weapon in the world, Datang only needs to equip it for a team of cavalry, so won't it be invincible and invincible on the battlefield? ”

After a pause, he sighed again and said, "If what Yingqiu said is true, then we can't move the Tang Dynasty anymore!" Not only can't we move, but we should be cautious when getting along with them in the future! ”

But Wu Yingqiu was not as pessimistic as Emperor Wu, and said with a smile: "Father, according to the observation of the sons, there is no need to worry too much!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Emperor Wu suddenly became interested and looked at Wu Yingqiu.

"Because that Zhang Gongzi has good poetry, although Erchen was a little angry when he lost to him, but he figured it out later. Later, I chatted with that Zhang Gongzi for a while at the banquet held by the Tang Prince, and found that the two of us were still relatively close to each other, and that Zhang Gongzi's temperament was not a violent person, so he should not make a move to wantonly kill people with Xiao Li's flying knife! ”

Looking at Wu Yingqiu's confident appearance, Emperor Wu felt a little comforted in his heart, but his youngest son was capable and knew that he would use all his energy in the right place, while the second son was useless to think about all day long

If Wu Huanquan knew that he was silently complained about by his Lao Tzu, his expression would definitely be quite exciting

"Yingqiu, having said that, even if he can promise never to attack our Wu Kingdom, what if the Tang Emperor asks him to attack?"

Hearing this, Wu Yingqiu laughed even more: "Father, the son also discovered a particularly interesting thing, that is, the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the prince Zhang don't seem to deal with each other, and at the banquet, the two almost clashed." 35xs According to Erchen, the Tang prince and Zhang Gongzi are afraid that it will be difficult to work together! ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing?"

Emperor Wu is also interested, if it is really as Wu Yingqiu said, then Zhang Yi is simply a treasure!

But now the prince of the Tang Dynasty is not only not in a hurry to win him over, but is also thinking about dealing with him, the prince of the Tang Dynasty has a sick brain, right? Looking forward to the early demise of the Tang Dynasty?

And when Wu Yingqiu said this, Emperor Wu also firmly had an idea, this prince must think carefully, if he chooses some brainless people to be the emperor, it will bring disaster to the country and the people!

I don't know why, when I thought of this, Wu Yingquan's figure appeared in front of Emperor Wu again

"In that case, can we bring that Zhang Gongzi to Wu Kingdom, give him an official knighthood, and ensure that he will have a worry-free life in the future!"

Wu Yingqiu shook his head and said: "Father, according to Erchen, it is not impossible to bring Zhang Gongzi to Wu State, but now is not the time, if you really want him to come willingly, we need an opportunity!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm"

The two glanced at each other, and before they finished speaking, they laughed very tacitly

Because of the influence of the previous story, in addition to Lu Yuner, who went crazy when he heard the story, several other people in the carriage also had a strong interest in Zhang Twelve's story, especially the long road, listening to the story is the same as watching, you can kill the boring time on the road

Zhang Twelve himself disagreed, this is going to go for seven days, if they talk about it every day, they are happy, they are not bored to death?

If you don't spend a penny, you want to listen to the story and experience the hardships of the laborers, okay?

Although the story was also plagiarized by him

But his wish was ultimately frustrated, originally he also had a show of hands to vote, and very covertly glanced at the two coachmen, but I don't know if they didn't see it or deliberately, anyway, the six people in the car, except for his own agreement not to tell the story, the other five voted against

It's a sad story, and Zhang Twelve can only start his long career as a storyteller

How long the road is, how long is Zhang Twelve's bitterness.

Along the way, Zhang Twelve told the story of the monkey and the story of the eagle, but what he was most proud of was telling the story of a man and seven women!

Yes, you read that right, it's not a Snow White and seven dwarfs, it's not an old man and six gourd babies, it's a man and seven women!

Man, naturally, in Zhang Twelve's previous life, Jin Yongli's favorite character Wei Xiaobao, a cheap, but true and not hypocritical man!

Of course, the reason why Zhang Twelve worships him is because he has seven wives!

Whether it is A Ke, Shuang'er, Princess Jianning, or Su Quan, Mu Jianping, Zeng Rou and Fang Yi, the seven women are all great beauties, and they have different identities

When telling this story, Zhang Twelve often substituted himself into the role, as if he was incarnated as Wei Xiaobao, and his woman Zhang Twelve thought about it, seven is still a little stressful, but hard work is not impossible to achieve, hehe

When he thought of this, he would show a very obscene smile, and the two coachmen, who were also men, naturally understood, and accompanied him to laugh silly As for Lu Yuner, he can't be called a man now, so he naturally doesn't understand!

But Chen Qiaoxi, who was a woman for the first time, seemed to hear the meaning of Zhang Twelve's words, didn't he just want to learn from that Wei Xiaobao! This color embryo!

Thinking about it, she put her hand on Zhang Twelve's leg under the quilt covertly, and then gave him a hard time, choking Zhang Twelve's pain enough, but after doing it too many times, Zhang Twelve also figured out her way, directly held her hand, and stroked her for a good time, making Chen Qiaoxi's face flush with shame

Time passed quickly in the storytelling, and on the seventh day of coming out of Liangzhou, that is, at noon on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, they had already seen the walls of Jingzhou from afar.

Zhang Twelve was overjoyed, this time the back and forth was quite smooth, and he rushed back just before the new year

Winter was deep, the wind was cold, and the dry and hard frozen soil after the snow was frozen into lumps of soil, and the carriage was bumpy on it.

The air is filled with the faint aroma of gunpowder emitted by firecrackers, and it is common to see a few children laughing and playing with firecrackers on the roadside, which is very satisfying.

Coming in from the city gate, the hawkers on both sides of the street were bustling with people coming to see the excitement or buy things, and the carriage walked unusually slowly in the middle, and the two coachmen could only jump off the carriage and hurry away.

Chen Qiaoxi and the others also came to Jingzhou for the first time, and they were also full of curiosity about everything here, so Zhang Twelve simply let them get out of the carriage and watch while walking.

It turns out that there are a lot of vendors on this street who sell a series of New Year's things such as window flowers, Spring Festival couplets, lanterns, etc., and the flavor of the New Year has gradually become stronger.

In his previous life, Zhang Twelve only remembered the day of the new year, which was also the day of the folk sacrifice stove.

Folklore has it that on the twenty-third day of the lunar month every year, the king of the stove has to go to heaven to report the good and evil of the family to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor rewards and punishes, so when the stove is sent, people offer food on the table in front of the statue of the king of the stove, and burn incense and bow down.

Later, the customs of this young year have a series of derivative customs such as sticking spring couplets and window flowers, but it is mostly to get some joy of the New Year, Zhang Twelve asked Chen Qiaoxi again, the customs of her young age are similar to what Zhang Twelve understands, it seems that although these are two parallel worlds, there are still many things in common

Walking further, every household began to stick Spring Festival couplets, window flowers, and some were hanging lanterns, some were big and small, with different patterns and different shapes.

Zhang Twelve could even think that when night fell, this row of faint red lights swaying in the wind, looking from a distance, it was like lights hanging in the sky, lit and kneaded one by one, it must be beautiful and abnormal!

After walking for a while, they passed through the bustling street, the road became wider again, and several people got into the car again and headed for the Patriotic Mansion

Approaching the Weiguo Mansion, Chen Qiaoxi also encountered the problems that Lu Fujing encountered at the beginning, and she was nervous.

However, she is old and experienced, and her performance is obviously better, and her hands are not the same as Lu Fujing's trembling at that time, but her face is a little unnatural.

Zhang Twelve shook his hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's like going home."

Chen Qiaoxi glanced at him and nodded, but how could he not be nervous at all?

After getting out of the carriage, Zhang Twelve looked domineering, and the other three followed him to the Weiguo Mansion, at this moment, Zhang Twelve felt extremely proud.

Oh, my brother is also a child of a rich family!

Since entering the mansion, Zhang Twelve felt that something was not quite right, and the whole mansion revealed a sense of depression.

There are people everywhere on the street who are sticking Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers, and there is a lot of joy everywhere, but the Weiguo Mansion is clean and clean, and even the guards guarding the door are not as enthusiastic as they used to be when they see him, and the eyes look strange

And when I entered the house, the courtyard was quiet, and there were not even a few people, which was really weird!

Walking around the courtyard, I happened to meet a few maids whispering there, and Zhang Twelve said, "Why is the house so quiet today?" What about grandma? ”

"Ah, young master! The young master is back."

Several maids were obviously startled by the sudden appearance of Zhang Twelve, and hurriedly replied.

"What about you, I ask?"

"Ah, the old man and the old lady are both discussing in the front hall, and the slave and maid will go and say that the young master is back!"

"No need, I'll just go over by myself!"

Zhang Twelve interrupted the maid's words and strode towards the front hall
