Jingzhou City, the current Jingzhou City since the Tang Dynasty, should be called Jiangling Mansion, but the older generation of people are still used to calling it Jingzhou, saying that it is Jingzhou City, but Jingzhou City has a huge jurisdiction, and its jurisdiction is Jiangling, Dangyang, Changlin, Shishou, Songzi, Gong'an Six counties, which can also be seen if Li Yuanjing did not die by himself, how comfortable his life would be.

It's a pity that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

Li Yuanjing's mansion.

After receiving an urgent letter from Chang'an City, the Gongcao soldiers who stayed in the house and did not go to Chang'an with Li Yuanjing have already begun to prepare in Jingzhou City, and according to their prince's itinerary, they will probably be able to reach Jingzhou City tomorrow, but what is imminent at the moment is the food and salary of the soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Jingzhou City.

The record of Jing Wangfu joined the army for the army's food and salary, this time the prince of his own family rushed back to Jingzhou from Chang'an in a hurry, the people of Jing Wangfu are like a mirror in their hearts, this time I am afraid that their own prince is going to move seriously, but at the moment even the army's salary can not be issued, I don't know how to deal with my own prince, don't get to the end, it is my own people who are unlucky.

At this time, Li Yuanjing has already led people to the vicinity of Jingzhou City, and in about a day and a half, he will be able to enter Jingzhou City, on the way, Li Yuanjing also vaguely feels that someone is secretly obstructing his trip, is it possible that there is a move on the side of Chang'an?

On the carriage, Li Yuanjing unscrewed the cowhide wine bag he was carrying, and poured a mouthful of liquor into his mouth, where is Li Yuanjing now as high-spirited as he was in Chang'an City, with slightly messy hair and embarrassing stubble, but he is more like a down-and-out scholar, which shows that Li Yuanjing has really suffered a lot along the way.

Li Yuanjing sighed in his heart, no matter what, he has already taken this step, and now he is about to arrive in Jingzhou, and when he arrives in Jingzhou, the sea is wide and the sky is high for the birds to fly, what are he afraid of.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjing smiled, no matter how he tried to comfort himself, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, the bumps in the past few days, the momentum that was originally in Chang'an City, seemed to have been consumed, but now, there is no going back.

Originally, Li Yuanjing could have arrived in Jingzhou a day earlier, but when Xuan Shijing was in Chang'an City, he asked Qian Dui Feige to pass on the book and asked his subordinates to delay Li Yuanjing's trip, which only dragged on for a day.

Gao Yuan was also surprised by Li Yuanjing's decisiveness, the original plan was to trap Li Yuanjing in Xiazhou for more than three days, but Li Yuanjing still stayed for another day and then decisively chose to leave.

Li Yuanjing's convoy walked in front, and from Xiazhou, Gao Yuan led people to disguise themselves as merchants, and followed behind Li Yuanjing's team openly, which startled the chief housekeeper of Jingwangfu.

If you let your own prince see something, wouldn't you have to explain your life here?

At night, Li Yuanjing's team and Gao Yuan's team both chose a small temple called Qiushan Temple nearby as a place to rest, Gao Yuan was not worried about what Li Yuanjing would suspect, within a radius of ten miles, the only thing that could be settled was this abandoned small temple.

The two groups of people occupied the east and west sides of the temple respectively, Li Yuanjing was in the east and Gao Yuan was in the west, and they were not related to each other on the surface, but secretly, the two groups of people were looking at each other.

Gao Yuan came out dressed as a merchant, so the materials he carried were naturally richer, different from Li Yuanjing's dry food and dried meat, Gao Yuan's stove was still boiling hot soup, exuding bursts of fragrance, which made Li Yuanjing's guards swallow again and again.

Seeing this, the chief housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion got up and walked to Gao Yuan's side, wanting to ask for some food for Li Yuanjing, and also wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Gao Yuan secretly.

Gao Yuan picked up the firewood in the fire in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showed a smile, and whispered to the housekeeper: "You came here so blatantly, aren't you afraid that your prince will suspect you?" ”

The butler frowned, and then replied in a low voice: "It's okay, I came here to ask for something for King Jing on the surface." ”

"It's a good idea." Gao Yuan smiled, then his voice returned to normal, and he said to the housekeeper: "This brother is here, but what advice do you have?" ”

The housekeeper also pretended to arch his hand and said: "This brother, when he goes out, the food brought by my son-in-law is a little simple, I don't know if I can ask my brother for some, I can see that my brother is a merchant, if my brother is willing to cut his love, he can pay a price that a brother is satisfied with." ”

"No need, just a little food, this brother Tai also said, go out, take care of each other, many friends and many roads." Gao Yuan said politely: "It's just that this soup has to be stewed for a while, if Brother Tai doesn't dislike it, let's wait here first." Gao Yuan also gave the housekeeper an excuse to stay.

The main hall of this hill temple is not small, two groups of people sit separately, and the distance between them is not close, even if Gao Yuan and the housekeeper speak in a normal voice, Li Yuanjing only listened to a rough idea here, and heard that his housekeeper was going over there to find merchants to find some delicious food for himself, and he didn't think much about it, but he was slightly pantothenic acid in his heart, and he was a high prince, but he didn't expect to be so downtrodden today.

Li Yuanjing sighed alone, but he didn't know that the housekeeper he trusted had begun to betray him twice.

"How blatantly did you keep up." The butler lowered his voice and said to Gao Yuan.

"I changed my name from Xiazhou from the dark, don't worry, even if your prince sees it, the ward thinks I'm just an ordinary merchant, what are you nervous about, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to show clues, so it's not me who should be careful, but you, even if I am discovered by your prince, at most it will be a fight, and you will be different." As he spoke, Gao Yuan always had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What do you mean by that?" The butler's face became serious.

"It's not interesting, I'm just analyzing the current situation with you, so you don't have to be nervous, the more nervous you are, the more abnormal it looks on the surface." (To be continued.) )
