For the sake of safety, Li Ke ordered Gao Kan to send the forbidden army to escort Kong Jingrou back to Qufu. Why would you be in a hurry to send Kong Jingrou back?

The reason is that Li Ke learned one thing, that is, this Kong Jingrou actually ran out secretly. In order to prepare for chivalry, the road to righteousness is uneven.

When Li Ke learned the news, he definitely couldn't laugh or cry. is obviously the eldest lady of Confucianism, but she is not familiar with the Analects, but she has to dance with a knife and a gun.

If Kong Yingda knew about this matter, he would not be so angry that he would be angry. It is estimated that I will have to rush back to Qufu from Chang'an City overnight and ask myself what my granddaughter wants to do.

However, Li Ke likes Kong Jingrou's character very much. Because in Kong Jingrou's body, Li Ke saw the shadow of a woman in later generations.

Especially when Kong Jingrou changed back into women's clothes, Li Ke was stunned for a while. Li Ke never thought that this Kong Jingrou would have a red-faced and troubled appearance.

Looking at the convoy slowly moving away, Yue'er beside Li Ke said mischievously: "Your Highness, Miss Kong has already gone away. ”

Hearing Yue'er's words, Li Ke coughed twice in embarrassment. Then he said to Yue'er: "Well, that, has the king's residence been cleaned up?" ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, Yue'er not only cleaned up the room. And it was specially arranged. I thought I could use it as a cave room for His Royal Highness, but unfortunately now the beauty has gone. Yue'er giggled and said to Li Ke.

"Okay, you little girl, you have nothing to do to make fun of this king. Believe it or not, this king spanks you. After Li Ke finished speaking, he wanted to pounce on Yue'er.

But Yue'er not only didn't dodge, but said directly to Li Ke: "Your Highness, even if you beat Yue'er, Yue'er has to say." If His Royal Highness can marry Miss Kong, it will definitely be a good thing for His Highness. ”

How could Li Ke not know this truth, although the Qufu Confucian family is not one of the five surnames and seven sects. But the influence of the whole world is definitely not to be ignored.

If he can marry the daughter of the Kong family, then Li Ke will get the support of the Kong family in disguise. If you want to gain a foothold in Qizhou, it will not be so difficult.

However, Li Ke knew that in the eyes of these famous families, his identity as a prince may not have a role. Don't forget, once an emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to marry the princess to five surnames and seven sects, but everyone directly refused.

"Those things can only depend on fate, and the melons that have been twisted since ancient times are not sweet." Li Ke said helplessly to Yue'er.

……

Early the next morning, Li Ke ordered Gao Kan to be escorted to Xiao County's order and went to Xiao's house in Lanling. This Lanling Xiao family belongs to Lanling County, Yizhou.

This Lanling Xiao family is two dynasties and nine prime ministers. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Qi Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties were established by this family.

Therefore, the strength of the Lanling Xiao family should not be underestimated. And the reason why Li Ke personally rushed to Lanling County today to see the head of the Xiao family in Lanling was not because Xingshi asked for guilt.

Instead, he was ready to obtain the support of the Lanling Xiao family, because he could only get the support of the Lanling Xiao family. Li Kecai can gain a firm foothold in this Qizhou area.

The reason why Li Ke thinks that the Lanling Xiao family can support him is that Li Ke has another relationship with the Lanling Xiao family. That is, Li Ke's grandmother is the daughter of the Lanling Xiao family, that is, Yang Guang's queen Empress Xiao.

Not only that, Li Ke and Xiao Rui, the son of Xiao Yu, the head of the Xiao family, have another layer of intricate relationship.

That is, Xiao Rui, who was supposed to be the same generation as Li Shimin, married Li Shimin's eldest princess, Princess Xiangcheng. Although this Princess Xiangcheng and Li Ke were not born to the same mother, this Xiao Rui can also be regarded as Li Ke's brother-in-law.

……

"Young master, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is asking to see him outside the mansion." Xiao Zhong, the old housekeeper of the Xiao family, came to the study and said to Xiao Rui.

"I didn't expect that this kid would think of my brother-in-law as soon as he arrived at the official of Qizhou." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he got up and walked outside the mansion gate.

(Xiao Yu should have lived in Chang'an City, and his children and grandchildren should have also been born in Chang'an City.) And Xiao Yu is not from Lanling County, Yizhou, but from Wujin in Southern Lanling. Because of the needs of the plot, Dragon Soul has made some changes, don't like it, don't spray. ）

When Xiao Rui came to the door of the mansion, he saw Li Ke standing outside his door with his hands in his hands. He hurriedly took two steps forward and saluted Li Ke and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is here, and the lower officials are not welcomed." ”

"Why is my brother-in-law so polite, I don't know if the imperial sister is in good health now?" Li Ke asked after reaching out to help Xiao Rui up.

"The princess doesn't know how many younger brothers and sisters there are, and the only one who knows how to care about the princess is probably only you." Xiao Rui said with a sigh.

It turns out that this princess of Xiangcheng is Li Shimin's eldest princess. But it can't be compared with the eldest princess Li Liqing. After all, who Princess Xiangcheng's mother is, there is no record in the history books.

It is precisely for this reason that when Princess Xiangcheng was in the palace, she was closer to Li Ke. Maybe it's a connection to fate.

"Brother-in-law doesn't have to be like this, as long as you live lovingly, why bother with others." Li Ke said with a smile to Xiao Rui.

"By the way, His Royal Highness suddenly came to Yizhou, I'm afraid it wasn't just to visit your imperial sister, right?" Xiao Rui opened his mouth and asked Li Ke.

"It really made my brother-in-law guess right, this king was framed by others as soon as he arrived in Qizhou. If it weren't for the 2,000 forbidden army sent by my father, I'm afraid I would have been exiled by now. Li Ke said helplessly.

"I don't know who dares to be so bold, doesn't he know that you are the dignified Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't that self-defeating? Xiao Rui asked Li Ke.

"What my brother-in-law said is true, how can this person who wants to put this king to death. But it's your brother-in-law, you, who are from the Lanling Xiao family, so this king sent him to your brother-in-law. After Li Ke finished speaking, he waved his hand to Gao Kan.

Gao Kan immediately led the forbidden army to bring the Xiao County Commander up. At this time, the Xiao County Order had already been frightened.

Originally, he thought that as long as he arrived at the Lanling Xiao family, his life would be saved. But he ignored that Xiao Rui was a colt master.

Now listening to the conversation between Li Ke and Xiao Rui, he remembered this relationship. So at this point, he felt that he had no way out.

After Xiao Rui saw this Xiao County Order, his face instantly became very ugly. Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, although he is not the grandson of the Xiao family, he is indeed a member of the Xiao family. ”

"Now that he has violated the law of the Tang Dynasty, His Highness only needs to be punished according to the law of the country. There's no need to look at anyone's face. ”

"Brother-in-law said this is an outland, after all, we are all a family. Although this Xiao County Commander was derelict in his duties, this king should hand him over to his brother-in-law to deal with. Li Ke said to Xiao Rui with a smile.

Xiao Rui nodded and then said to Xiao Zhong, the housekeeper beside him: "Return him to his own family, and let the person in charge of their branch give me an explanation." ”
