Chapter 558 Xiangzhou was shocked when he heard the news

It can be said that Li Xian's team of people walked slowly, and it took half a month before they arrived in Jizhou, and Su Yu and Lu Sanniang went back to their hometown to prepare. And when they caught up three days later, the convoy had not yet arrived in Xiangzhou.

Lu Sanniang didn't give it back, Su Yu lowered her head and jumped into Li Ji's car, and the first thing she said was to complain: "British Duke, this speed is too slow, at this speed, even if it is another month, it may not be able to reach Chang'an!" ”

Before Li Ji could answer, Li Xian, who had been nesting in Li Ji's car for the past few days, rushed to take over the conversation: "There are also Goguryeo princes and nobles in this convoy, those people left their hometowns and ran to the Central Plains, if they are in a hurry on the road, wouldn't it be in vain if people have three long and two short?" Besides, the road is bumpy, who knows if the master can stand it? ”

"Don't use me as an excuse, just let me hurry up and rush to Chang'an now, and I can hold on to the place!"

When he said this, Li Jisheng was like a bell, and the pride of the original battlefield and the world was not diminished at all, where did he look like a patient? And although Li Xian said that he was robbed, he was not unhappy, but said with a smile: "I know that you are old and strong, master, but I worry about it for nothing, right?" By the way, the affairs of Jizhou, Xiao Su, have you arranged everything? ”

"Hmm." Su nodded, cleaned up his grandfather's tomb, and a group of Su clan people also promised to take care of the matter, and then looked around, "Why aren't they here?" ”

"Who can be as lazy as Rokuro? They are all people who can't sit still, so they rushed to Xiangzhou to do some things first. Li Ji glared at Li Xian as he spoke, and found that people were suddenly reading intently there at this time, and he knew that what he said was in vain. simply changed the topic and said, "Xiao Su, what news have you heard in Jizhou?" ”

Speaking of the news, Su Yu tilted his head and thought carefully for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's all local gossip, and no one has said anything about the affairs in the court, but everyone is talking about the British Gong's class of prisoners, and they all say that it is worthy of the British Gong, and no one can match this credit......

"That's it, I'm impatient to listen to those flatteries!"

Li Ji hurriedly waved his hand. At this time, the servants of the Li family outside sent all kinds of melons and fruits snacks, all of which were purchased from Jizhou, and the three of them ate and talked in the car. And Li Ji was old after all, so he tilted his head and fell asleep as he spoke, and when Li Xian and Su Yu noticed it, he was already snoring.

If this was just the two of them alone, Li Xian would not feel uncomfortable, but there was a sleeping Li Ji next to the problem. This situation is a bit weird, who knows if the old fox is pretending to be asleep or really sleeping? However, with one less interlocutor, a lot of the ridicule is a bit out of place. He was pondering what to say next, but unexpectedly, Su Yu suddenly sighed.

Although the people were quite excited about Goguryeo's great victory, His Majesty made two expeditions after his accession to the throne. It also costs a lot of money and food in Hebei Province and Hedong Province, especially when I see that many people in Hebei Province are living in embarrassment, and there are many people in the countryside who are not clothed and unable to eat enough. It's good to have won the battle. But go on like this. I'm just afraid ......"

Li Xian didn't expect Su Yu to raise the problem to the level of people's livelihood. I also feel heavy when I listen to it. Datang's business is naturally quite large-scale, but the main consumers are dignitaries and wealthy businessmen themselves. The people are by no means rich.

Although Chang'an Luoyang is prosperous, it is because Chang'an Luoyang lives in rich people, and there are east, west, north and south cities for foreign trade. The national policy pursued by the Tang Dynasty is to feed and clothe the common people, but they are not allowed to have spare money in their hands, which is a situation of high taxes, and the people are miserable.

"For the time being, there will be no more big battles, so let's take the opportunity to recuperate."

Li Xian sighed, thinking of the famous Zhenguan rule and the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, during these two periods, the Tang Dynasty did not levy the people's power to fight any major battles, from which it can be seen the importance of recuperation. However, when he thought that now that his father was suddenly blind and the situation in Chang'an City was still unclear, he suddenly had a headache again.

However, Su Yu's words were opened and he couldn't stop at once, explaining the embarrassment of the people, and then mentioning the luxury of the wealthy family, and even the bad deeds of the Su family who were rampant in the countryside under the shadow of Su Dingfang did not let go, and there was a disdainful expression on his face during the conversation: "There are even unknown old people in the clan who want to interfere in my marriage, and they were driven away by Sanniang and me, if I hadn't stopped it, Sanniang might have to whip him!" ”

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is the most reasonable thing in the world. Li Xiancai sighed in his heart and heard the last sentence, and immediately sweated profusely, secretly thinking that who is so short-eyed, he actually thinks that this little aunt and grandmother are easy to bully? Thinking about the unprecedented strength of the clan in these years, he hurriedly asked a few questions, knowing that it was just an elder who had no power to speak, and Lu Sanniang left a lot of money for the patriarch of the Su clan, and suddenly sighed that people were kind

The means are clever, and it is not his turn to worry about it.

The carriage went all the way, and the two gossiped all the way, perhaps because they were in a hurry on the road, and Su gradually yawned, and finally fell asleep against the wall of the carriage. Seeing that the old man and the young man in the carriage were sleeping soundly, Li Ji also had a brocade quilt to himself, and Li Xian, who was helpless, had to step forward and gently cover Su Yu with a robe on his ground, and walked out of the carriage with a cat's waist.

As soon as he came out, he heard a voice in his ear: "Your Highness, look, Xiangzhou City is about to arrive!" ”

Turning his head to see that it was the high-spirited Huo Huaien, Li Xian smiled. This one is different from Sheng Yunwen, Sheng Yunwen is full of thoughts about the glorious lintel to revitalize his family, so he strives to climb up the river in the army. But Huo Huaien didn't have any big ambitions, and even took the initiative to say that he didn't want to go to the sixteen guards to gild after receiving the rank this time, and he didn't want to stay in Liaodong, and was willing to continue to be the head of this personal army, which naturally made him overjoyed.

The matter of security has to be left to the expert, so that he has no worries!

Turned over on horseback and raised his eyes to look, only to see that Xiangzhou City has stood far away in sight, although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang, Chang'an, but Xiangzhou is also a big city in Hebei, it looks quite a prosperous scene. Seeing from afar that someone seemed to be meeting him at the gate of the city, he ordered him to speed up.

When he got to the front, he saw that in addition to Li Jingye and others, from the history of the assassin to the long history to the military participation of various divisions, a large group of people came, and a large number of people bowed down together when they attended the ceremony, and the scene was spectacular. And he greeted him one by one with a smiling face, and he took all the orders when people patted them, and by the way, he gave back a few colors, which was naturally a pattern of great joy.

Since Li Ji was still ill, he refused the invitation to the banquet on behalf of Li Ji, but he readily agreed-he must eat at every banquet along the way, so naturally it is not good to favor one over the other. In order to win the reputation of a place that does not disturb the people, it is really unnecessary to refute the ground. Everyone has prepared the banquet, and it would be a waste if you didn't go, so why bother? Besides, even if you save money, it will definitely not reach the treasury or the people's pockets.

The banquet was staggered, from the history of the assassin to the subordinates, everyone flattered the expedition to the east, Li Ji was not self-explanatory, most of them were aimed at Li Xian, what kind of young man Dezhi, Tianzong Wise, not a famous general, etc., regardless of the praise and so on, Li Xian was humble to the end, and he was a little impatient, so he simply recognized it with a smiling face, and the wine and food were only half full after a banquet, but the muscles on his face were already stiff with a smile. Of course, Li Jingye and the others who were on the ground together were no better, and after they came out, their faces twitched, and they almost didn't scold their mothers.

So, when he returned to the lodging and saw Su Yu, Li Xian hurriedly stepped forward pitifully and asked, "Xiao Su, do you have anything to eat?" The calluses on my ears came out of this night's flattery, but my stomach was not full! ”

As soon as he said this, Li Jingye and the three hurriedly echoed, all with flattering smiles. And Su looked at them with a strange face for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing: "The pot of porridge I boiled was all for the British public......

Before the words were finished, Li Xian and the four of them were suddenly disappointed, and even Li Jingye was even there quietly muttering about his grandfather's good luck. Unexpectedly, Su Yu followed and said with a smile: "It's just that the guests just came, so I went to make some snacks and corn soup, since you are hungry, let's eat together!" ”

Guest? Who's that? Li Xian still had time to think about who the guest who suddenly appeared, Li Jingye Cheng Bohu couldn't bear it, and immediately agreed with joy, pulled Xue Dingshan and walked in the direction of Su's finger, not considering that there was anything wrong with them going to grab food from the guests. However, the moment Li Jingye was the first to push open the door, the three anxious people suddenly froze there. Seeing this scene, Li Xian couldn't help but stop and looked at Su suspiciously.

"Rokuro, if you want to know who it is, why don't you go in and take a look?"

Li Xian was about to answer, but he only heard an exclamation, and when he turned his head to look again, he saw Xue Dingshan rushing in all of a sudden, followed by Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu at the door over there, and let out a thief's laughter. At this time, even if he was a fool, he also thought of who this person was, and hurriedly rushed forward.

At the door of the room, he saw a wonderful scene - Xue Dingshan, who had always been wooden, not only picked up Ah Li, but even hugged her around there, and the color of excitement was overflowing. In contrast, Ah Li, who has always been enthusiastic and unrestrained, showed a flushed face, and a pair of pink fists hammered angrily on Xue Dingshan's shoulders, but it was obvious that he was embroidering his legs with fists, and he didn't use much strength.

It was easy to wait for the two to separate, and Li Xian went up and said hello with a smile. As a result, Ah Li landed, and before the flush on her face subsided, she said impatiently: "Sister Shenruo asked me to come!" The prince also suddenly fell ill! ”

In an instant, the joyful and bright atmosphere just now disappeared cleanly, and a group of people in the room were all stunned.
