Chapter 139: The Escape Prince
"Chang Le, thank you Master Hou!" Chang Le heard this, and bowed respectfully to Xuan Shijing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xuan Shijing waved his hand, "There is no need to do this, if the matter between your two brothers can be solved, Long'er can also save a lot of thoughts, and now our Hou family's great cause will inevitably attract envy openly and secretly, so we must also be able to keep it." ”
Chang Le could hear the meaning of Xuan Shijing's words, and now as the guard of the Xuanwu Tower, he should be desperately defending the Xuanwu Tower, and I heard that this Xuanwu Tower is already the top priority of the Hou Mansion industry.
"Hou Ye rest assured, Chang Le, as a member of the Hou Mansion, must do his best." Chang Le hurriedly expressed his position.
Xuan Shijing nodded, patted Chang Le's shoulder, then crossed Chang Le, walked to the square table in the small study, picked up the pen, drew two patterns, and waited for the ink to dry before picking it up and handing it to Chang Le.
"This is the pattern I drew, when I have time, you can take it to Xishi to find a carpenter surnamed Liu to build it for you, one is a crutch, the other is a wheelchair, your brother should be able to use it." Xuan Shijing said.
Chang Le cautiously took the two drawings in Xuan Shijing's hand, and took a cursory look, the pair of crutches was clear at a glance, but the wheelchair could be seen to be a chair, and there were two wheels next to it.
Although he didn't know much about it, Chang Le could naturally see that these two things were of great help to his younger brother, so he hurriedly put them in his arms and bowed to Xuan Shijing: "Chang Le, thank you Master Hou." ”
"From now on, we will all be a family, do a good job." Xuan Shijing encouraged.
Out of the backyard, and Long'er in the four floors of the Chamber of Commerce in the various rooms of the circle, now the work that should have been done has been done, the shopkeepers have also taken a holiday, each went home, the entire fourth floor except for the guards on duty, there is no one else, it seems a little empty.
"Long'er, has there been any news from Jingzhou recently?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Master Hou, the carrier pigeon in the house is estimated to be about to arrive in Chang'an now, and then it will be able to carry a batch of more specific news, and now Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, is still on the way to Jingzhou, and our people are also staring at the news all the time to come back, but there is nothing abnormal, just a hurry." Long'er replied.
"Well, if we follow Li Yuanjing's speed, it is estimated that we will arrive in Jingzhou, and it will be a year later, so we can have a good year with peace of mind."
But he said that Li Yuanjing, who was rushing back to Jingzhou in a hurry, had been tired and worried in the past few days, which made him have a lot of vicissitudes of life, stubble grew on his face, and when he saw his sideburns, he faintly gave birth to a few strands of hair, which made the housekeeper who was waiting on the side very distressed.
Because I was in a hurry, I didn't complain about the inn when I passed by a township at noon, so I walked to the evening, and the day was short in winter, and I saw that the sun had fallen on the West Mountain, but the people in Jingwangfu were at the point of not having a store in front of the village, so they could only find a broken temple near the official road and rest.
The people in the palace left in a hurry, so the carriage did not carry anything of luxury, and the meal for the evening was only some dry food and some durable jerky.
The guards of the palace cleared a place in the ruined temple and made a fire angry, and the butler took out the iron pot from the carriage and set it on the fire.
On this winter night, if there is no hot soup and hot water, how can you stand it.
Li Yuanjing is a child is brocade clothes and jade food, even in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty fought in all directions, Li Yuan has never treated this son badly, even in the camp tent on the battlefield, the food he eats is much stronger than this dry and cold dry food and jerky, therefore, as soon as he saw this dry food and jerky, Li Yuanjing instantly lost his appetite.
"Lord Wang." The housekeeper put a bowl of hot soup in a pottery bowl and handed it to Li Yuanjing: "Let's eat a little, I stay in this broken temple today, it's cold at night, if you don't eat something to warm up, I'm afraid it will be hard at night." ”
Li Yuanjing sighed and took the pottery bowl in the butler's hand: "You said, did this king do something wrong when he came out of Chang'an City?" ”
The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, thought of the current situation of Jingwangfu, sighed, and said: "It can't be said that it is wrong, our Jingwangfu is now being tested by His Majesty on the fire, if it is still indifferent, I am afraid that this end will not be much better, now, we are not in Chang'an, not under the control of Your Majesty, but it is much safer, and it can be regarded as advancing and retreating." ”
"Can you advance or retreat?" Li Yuanjing smiled, holding the bowl in his left hand, and the wooden branch in his right hand gently stirred the fire: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, I, Li Yuanjing, am also the head of your family, why is this." As he spoke, he looked at the pottery bowl in his hand with a slight sarcasm in his eyes, and drank it all in spite of the boiling hot soup.
"Lord Wang, when you get to Jingzhou, everything will be fine." Now, the housekeeper can only be so consoled.
If Li Yuanjing made such a decision in anger in Chang'an, then after these days of turbulence, Li Yuanjing's mind would be much clearer, and now the forces at hand are in a tough confrontation with the imperial court, how likely is it to win.
Now, it is no longer that Li Yuanjing himself wants to take this step forward, but that he has made a wrong step, a wrong step, and the form has begun to push him forward.
"Now that we are such a field, the rest is to fight hard, this time back to Jingzhou, we must gather all the officials under our hands to discuss this move carefully, only in this way, we may still have a little hope." The butler continued.
When Li Yuanjing heard this, he didn't speak, just nodded.
Maybe Chang'an's side, the abnormality in his own house is already about to be discovered, but it doesn't matter, even if it is known that there is no one in the house, no one will suspect that he has run away.
Li Yuanjing didn't expect that Xuan Shijing would keep an eye on King Jing's Mansion all the time, and His Majesty Li Er also sent secret guards to not only watch King Jing's Mansion, but his whereabouts along the way were also passed back to Chang'an all the time.
Fortunately, there were heavy quilts on the carriage, and the guards of the palace took out a few quilts and laid them out for Li Yuanjing.
Leaning on the fire, wrapped in the quilt, with the fatigue of the day and the lingering worries in his mind, Li Yuanjing gradually fell asleep.
The housekeeper added a few more firewood to the fire, made the fire more prosperous, and saw that Li Yuanjing was already asleep, then put down the branch in his hand, wrapped his coat tightly, and walked out of the broken temple. (To be continued.) )
