Chapter 696: Li Zhi returns to Beijing

The three of them cried and wiped their tears for a long time, and then the crying stopped. Wang Ping'an said: "Your Highness, when will you set off?" ”

Li Zhi wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said: "According to the schedule, I will go on the road tomorrow, but I don't want to go back to Beijing directly, I have to go to several other states, so it doesn't matter if I want to go a few days late, anyway, walk faster on the road, that is!" ”

Wu Meiniang had tears on her face, but she didn't wipe them, she said, "Otherwise, how many days will Your Highness say you're sick?" If you are sick, no one will urge you to go on the road, and we can stay together for a few more days. ”

Li Zhi hummed and said, "This is a good idea, why don't I just say that I am occasionally infected with wind and cold, and I need to recuperate for a few days." No disease, do you say, is it better to have a cold, or is it better to have some other disease? Or do you say I fell off my horse while riding a horse? ”

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "It's not good." Saying that His Royal Highness is sick, it will alarm the officials, everyone comes to see you, then you can't be alone with Mei Niang, and if Chang'an knows that you are sick, maybe they will send someone to see you, then the matter will be a big trouble! ”

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang nodded together, and Li Zhi said, "That's right." But is there any other way to stay longer? ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Of course there is, it can be like this on the first day, just say that King Wu was wounded by an arrow, and His Royal Highness was leaving, so I went to see him, but it was delayed......"

Li Zhi said angrily: "His arrow wound should be almost healed, is it really necessary to go to see him alone?" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "Let him come, you just need to go out and deal with a few words, and then let him go back, then don't you get the time of the day." ”

Li Zhi snorted and looked at Wu Meiniang, who was also very happy. Wu Meiniang clapped her hands and said, "It's still my uncle's idea, then this can only be one more day!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "The next day, let the merchants come to see them off, and the ministers will set up a banquet to entertain them, so that they can be lively in front, and His Royal Highness and Mei Niang will stay together in the backyard." On the third day, let the people come to send the umbrella of the people, hundreds of people saw them off, you said goodbye one by one, and as a result, you said goodbye to dozens of people, the sun basked you, so you had to take a rest, and then this day didn't you get it again. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Yes, this trick is very good, but it's too troublesome, is there anything simpler?" No disease, you have the most solutions, and you will definitely be able to find a better one. ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "Then let the ministers send a team of guards to see off the prince, Mei Niang will pretend to be a guard, serve the prince closely, and when she is sent to the next state, let the guards send her back, wouldn't it be better." It's just that Mei Niang's body is getting heavier, and it's not good to travel long distances. ”

Wu Meiniang hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I'm fine." Wouldn't it be better for us to walk slower on the road, ten miles a day, without fatigue, and we can walk for many days! ”

Li Zhi also said: "This trick is good, this trick is much better than letting people see them off in Gyeongju." Lonely is not staying in Gyeongju anymore, just take Mei Niang away, and by the way, go to the mountains and rivers to make up for the regret that Mei Niang didn't play well last time when she went to the cave temple. ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's like a honeymoon trip." He nodded yes, and the matter was left to him.

As long as there is a plan, it will be easy to do. Wang Ping'an immediately sent someone to send a letter to the county magistrates of each county, asking them to come together tomorrow to see off the prince, and specially ordered someone to tell Li Ke that he must come to see off the prince. After the things on the scene were arranged, he ordered someone to go to the front station, and when Li Zhi dealt with all sides in Gyeongju tomorrow, he could send Wu Meiniang out directly and meet on the road ahead, which would be safer and faster.

The matter was explained, and before dawn the next day, there was a crowd of people outside the Assassin's Mansion, and all the officials of the state city naturally came, and the merchants naturally came, and many well-informed people also came, waiting to bid farewell to the prince.

When the day dawned, as soon as the city gate was opened, all the officials from all over the country arrived, they came in the middle of the night, and waited at the city gate, and as soon as the door was opened, they immediately rushed to the Thorn's Mansion.

However, Li Ke did not come, but only sent someone to send a farewell letter, saying that he had inconvenient legs and feet and could not come to see him off in person, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness. It's better if he doesn't come, Li Zhizheng doesn't want to see him, of course he doesn't want to see Li Zhi, they both have an idea in their hearts, never see each other again in this life, that's the best!

Wang Ping'an sent Wu Meiniang out first, and he sent Ouyang Li and all the Ouyang brothers to protect Wu Meiniang and wait on the road. Originally, Li Zhi's next stop was supposed to go to Yuanzhou, but Yuanzhou was closer, so he temporarily changed the route and changed it to Lanzhou, and when he arrived in Lanzhou, he sent Wu Meiniang back.

After sending Wu Meiniang away, Wang Ping'an accompanied Li Zhi again, and said goodbye to all the people in Qingzhou City, who could say goodbye collectively, in order to show his reluctance, he actually sent all the way out of ten miles, and then he shed tears and said goodbye, Li Zhi left Qingzhou and separated from Wang Ping'an.

After finishing Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, Wang Ping'an returned to Gyeongju, and the first thing he wanted to do was to visit Li Ke. Li Ke said that he was sick and didn't come to send Li Zhi, Li Zhi couldn't blame him, and he couldn't let Li Ke come on crutches again. But Li Ke said that he was sick, but Wang Ping'an had to go to ask for condolences, otherwise he would lose his human touch!

Although, whether it is Li Ke or Wang Ping'an, they all regard this bit of human touch as a burden, but no matter how burdened they are, they have to leave this scene!

Wang Ping'an called Di Renjie and said, "People are in the officialdom, and they can't help it!" I am a member of the prince's faction, and when the prince is here, King Wu doesn't dare to do anything to me, but as soon as the prince leaves, I don't know what kind of demon King Wu will have. If I go to Maling County, maybe I will be embarrassed by Li Ke, Ouyang Li and they sent the prince again, and there are no guards around me. You send someone to follow me, and when I go to see Li Ke, don't delay, don't exceed a quarter of an hour, let him rush to the county office, and say that there is something urgent to find me, so that I can come out quickly, so as not to have any accidents! ”

Di Renjie sighed: "I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, King Wu will stay here for a long time in the future, I don't know what vicious tricks he will make to deal with you, big brother!" ”

Qiu Tingxuan didn't leave at this time, he also stayed here, hearing Wang Ping'an say this, he said: "Don't worry about no illness, when we go to Maling, I'll go first to explore, if King Wu has a good temper at this time, then you go in, if you have a bad temper, then you ...... I'll have to go in, but I'll be with you, or I'll just wait in the yard, and if there's an accident, I'll rush in, and he can't clean us up together! ”

"I have to come to block it, and the water comes to cover it, and I see the move!" Wang Ping'an took two guards, Hou Ling and Niu Dali, and rushed to Maling County with Qiu Tingxuan.

Di Renjie found a clever messenger, rode a fast horse, and followed closely less than a quarter of an hour away from Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an has already calculated it, this time when he sees Li Ke, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat, maybe Li Ke will beat himself with a cane, will he be beaten upright, or run for his life quickly? Even if you can't die, you can beat half to death...... That's even more uncomfortable!

Wang Ping'an thought in his heart, after arriving at the county government office in Maling County, he waited in the gatehouse, and Qiu Tingxuan went first to explore the number of roads to see what Li Ke was doing!

After waiting for a while, he was still thinking about whether to stiffen up or run away, when he saw Qiu Tingxuan running out quickly. Qiu Tingxuan entered the concierge and said loudly: "No disease, you are lucky, don't be afraid of repairs!" ”

Wang Ping'an stood up and said, "King Wu is not in the back house, he is out?" ”

"No, sitting in the back garden!" Qiu Tingxuan shook his head and said: "He refused to see you, and said that in the future, without his call, you are not allowed to come to Maling to look for him, unless there is an emergency, he will not go to the state city to find you!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said in surprise: "What does this mean, could it be that he said that we will never meet again in the future?" ”

Qiu Tingxuan nodded and said, "Look at what he means, it seems to be ...... That's what it means, he doesn't want to see you again! ”

The two looked at each other, they were in Gyeongju, how could they not see each other all the time, what happened to Li Ke, with such a good opportunity, didn't he want to repair Wang Ping'an? The current Gyeongju is Li Ke's biggest, he can repair whoever he wants, and he can't hide!

After a while, Wang Ping'an said: "When you went in, how was King Wu's demeanor, especially when he heard that I was coming, what abnormal behavior did he have?" ”

Qiu Tingxuan thought for a while and said, "Before going in, it was nothing, he straightened his legs and sat in the pavilion drinking tea." When I went in, I told him that you came to see him, and his expression was ...... How to say it. No disease, have you ever seen the kind of skin used in the transition river, that is, the kind of big skin that is made of the skin of a whole sheep, blown up? ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Of course I have seen it, it is something used to make rafts." What's the matter, he's like a skin, suddenly deflated and scolded me? ”

Qiu Tingxuan snorted and said, "If that's the case, what's so strange." I mean, he's like a puff of air, and when he hears you're coming, it's like he's been punctured by an awl, and all of a sudden he goes down, as if he's twenty years old, and even his waist is stiff! ”

Wang Ping'an was taken aback and said, "Like a deflated skin? How could this be, he shouldn't have reacted to me this way! ”

He seemed to ...... I'm afraid of you, I don't want to see you! Qiu Tingxuan thought about it and said solemnly, the feeling that Li Ke gave him just now was like this.

Wang Ping'an opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time! Li Ke was actually afraid of himself? It's hard to believe!

After a while, Wang Ping'an said: "If you don't see him, you won't see him, in fact, I don't want to see him." Brother Qiu, you pay more attention to his movements, if there is anything abnormal, tell me in time, I will find a way to deal with it! ”

Qiu Tingxuan naturally agreed, reassured him, sent him out of the yamen, and the two said goodbye.

On the way back to Gyeongju, Wang Ping'an still wondered in his heart, Li Ke was afraid of himself? Are you already strong enough to do this? I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!
