Chapter 36: The Way Home
The night is getting thicker, and in this gloomy weather, there is no sunset to sprinkle afterglow, only the clouds that are getting lower and lower, and it will snow again tonight!
The Taiji Palace is brightly lit at this moment, and the snowflakes have begun to fall and sprinkle on the dome of the main hall. At the corner of the eaves hung a foot-long ice cube, like a sharp sword with an upside-down handle. The dim palace lamps under the cornices shone brightly, reflecting the ice cubes more and more crystal clear.
Li Yuangao sat on the dragon chair, and the entire palace did not have a stove, and it was as cold as an ice cellar. Long white breath condensed in the air as he breathed. Li Yuan felt this cold feeling, just like the sadness in his heart: it still appeared after all, but it was not the boss he expected to unite with the third child to deal with the second child. But the eldest and the third pinched each other first!
"What a good son of mine! Hehe...... Why doesn't it look like it at all? You three are brothers! The second child is as treacherous as a fox, why are you two as stupid as pigs? Li Yuan didn't know what to say, was it really wrong, the prince he liked couldn't even see such a simple general trend? actually fought with the third child at this time, don't you know that the second child is the biggest threat?
At this moment, a dim figure appeared quietly at the door of the main hall as if it was about to blend into the surrounding shadows: "Qi Xi, the old slave has something to report!" The eunuch's voice was sharp, like the cry of a night owl in this night.
"Come in!" Li Yuan said in a deep voice, there must be nothing good to come at this time.
"Your Majesty, news came from the city gate just now, His Royal Highness King Qin went out of the city in the afternoon, a group of more than thirty people. And the original direction of the outdoor tour seems to have changed in the afternoon! "The old eunuch seems to have become accustomed to hiding his body in the dark, and even in the brightly lit hall, he only stands in a dark corner.
"Really? It's still this old second-hand foot, who came in a hurry in the afternoon and paid such a big price, and replaced the Black Stone Mountain, which has not yet reached dark, and has already begun to deploy! Hearing Li Er's movements, Li Yuan once again felt that the boss was a little far from him, but he still didn't make up his mind, the boss didn't make a mistake, how could he abolish the crown prince? This is not in line with etiquette!
It is precisely because of Li Yuan's hesitation that the things behind him have become so complicated and provide a precedent for those who come after, so the alternation of the throne of the Tang Dynasty has always been bloody.
At this time, Li Er and Li Kuan were still sitting in the carriage, slowly heading towards the Qin Palace.
Li Kuan's face showed a little excited, which couldn't help him, because it was like buying a lottery ticket and winning five million at once. The huge surprise has been impacting his reason in the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for the fact that there was a Li Er watching next to him, Li Kuanbao didn't know what he would do. There have been incense before, how many energy points will be obtained by absorbing the Black Stone Mountain, but that is just a fantasy, just like many people think about winning the lottery lottery. There is still a difference between imagination and reality, and Li Kuan is like this now.
It used to be a few points every time, and the most was the first fifty points, but I didn't expect that this time it was 30 million, and there were more than 700,000 fractions, and the last few digits alone were more than all the previous ones combined. Li Kuan also thought about it beforehand, it shouldn't be able to absorb it directly, and he has to find someone to dig it slowly, so as to continue to absorb it, but the system has done it this time, and the surprise should not come too suddenly!
Li Er also wanted to talk all the way, he really wanted to ask if the sect behind Li Kuan was really an immortal sect. How can Li Kuan's behavior become more and more like an immortal method? In front of him, he was still recalling the scene he had seen in the Black Stone Mountain before: the mountains were full of red bands of light, floating in the air, like a big net enveloping the entire Black Stone Mountain. Li Kuan sat in mid-air, like a legendary fairy child, with the flames above his head manipulating the big net and looting all the essence of the Black Stone Mountain, which Li Er had confirmed: he ordered someone to dig down a piece of coal, and found that the coal could no longer burn.
Li Er guessed that the charcoal shrouded in that light net could no longer burn. This means that Chang'an will have no charcoal to burn in the future, although not many people used it before, but the sudden interruption of the source will also cause a lot of inconvenience. But Li Er felt that this was also a good thing, at least there would be no more people who couldn't wake up in their sleep, and those woodcutters and people who sold charcoal for a living could also live better this winter.
Seeing that the carriage was about to return to the Qin Palace, Li Er still didn't hold back, he knew that if he didn't ask now, then he wouldn't be able to ask after he went home, you must know that asking for immortals has always been a taboo for the royal family, how many emperors are ruined on this immortal visit, no matter how wise and martial he was before, once he believed in Lao Zhuang's words and ruled by inaction, then this emperor would lose his enterprising spirit, and he would not be far from the country! Because it is no longer the pre-Qin period, the idea of ruling by doing nothing is no longer suitable, the Tang Dynasty is now in crisis, civil strife is endless, and foreign enemies are eyeing each other, how can you be fascinated by the immortal theory?
But Li Kuan's appearance made Li Er feel that the immortals seemed to be in existence, which made him very entangled, but at this moment he still asked: "Kuan'er, is the senior behind you a human or an immortal?" How can the means be so bizarre and amazing? ”
"This child can't tell, but the child believes that there are no immortals in this world, and this is what the teacher told the child!" Li Kuan didn't expect Li Er to ask such a question, it seems that he is not the emperor who dominated the eternals later, and now he is just an ambitious prince.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Er was puzzled: "Your teacher is clearly more than a hundred years old, and how can the means you used just now be used by mortals?" Kuan'er, how long have you been following your teacher, you will do this, what will you be if you are not an immortal? Could it be a youkai? ”
How could my father think that? There are a lot of wonderful things in this world, and as long as you master the trick of them, what seems to be very magical is actually just that. It's just that people who don't understand the mysteries of the period will think that this is really incredible, and it is not something that mortals can do! Li Kuan said indifferently, he was also using Li Er's question to divert his attention, he was afraid that he would do something amazing because he kept thinking that the energy point was full.
"Can people really live more than a hundred years?" Li Er didn't believe it, the eldest he had ever seen was Yuan Shoucheng and Yan Zhitui, the two old gentlemen, both of whom were already in their old age, but Yuan Shoucheng could still jog all the way through the entire Chang'an City from his own yard in the north of Chang'an City every morning, and go to the mountains outside the city to absorb the first rays of the sun's purple gas. And although Yan Zhitui does not have such a good body, he is also energetic, and every meal is coarse and light, it seems that it is not a problem to live for another twenty years, these two people can live to be 100 years old, but after all, they are not 100 years old. Li Kuan's mysterious teacher, Chen Kuan's ancestor, claimed to have made a bet with Emperor Wu of Liang, and it was not impossible to be more than 100 years old, or even 120 years old.
"Father, in fact, it is not uncommon for people to live past 100 years old, but because of the endless wars now, many old people who could have lived for a long time have died, coupled with a large number of young people who died on the battlefield, so that the old people can not enjoy their old age leisurely, busy with work in the fields, overworked, how can they live a long life? The child's teacher is different, he lives a very chic life, has no worries, has a regular life, and eats a healthy diet. Of course, he can live a little longer, besides, the child believes that there are still so many old gentlemen in Datang who can live to be 100 years old. "Li Kuan doesn't know, at least Cheng Yanjin has lived long enough, and it is not much worse if he is not 100 years old.
"So, how do you explain your means of levitating out of thin air?" Li Er still didn't believe it, he also knew that living a leisurely life was conducive to health preservation, but how could he have those leisurely days when he was born in the emperor's family? And Li Er is not the kind of person who can enjoy leisure, if he has nothing to do, he will feel uncomfortable, and even if he doesn't fight him, he has to fight two games with his own big future to relieve his boredom.
"Father, that's just a trick, I believe you know some of it, father, these are the mysteries of various schools, although the child's scientists are inclusive, there is no idea of self-cherishment, but there are not many means like this, and they will not be passed on lightly. It was also because the child was chosen to seek the energy of the world, so the teacher passed on this method. "Li Kuan now finally knows how hard it is to fool a smart person, who will keep asking questions, keeping you busy making up lies to deal with, and if you go wrong, it's over. Therefore, Li Kuan decided not to use the system charging function lightly in the future, otherwise Li Er's suspicions again and again would be enough to kill him.
The carriage stopped in front of the main gate of King Qin's mansion, and Li Kuan hurriedly got up to help Li Er lift the curtain. Li Er didn't ask anything all the way, and he was a little depressed, but looking at Li Kuan's face that looked like that woman, the angry thoughts in his heart dissipated again. Just let out a long sigh and got out of the car.
Li Kuan followed closely, and the eldest grandson was waiting there at the door again. There are also Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin, Concubine Wei and others behind him, and of course, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and other little princes are indispensable. In the end, there were a few little girls, and Li Lizhi was standing among them.
These people are all here to greet Li Er, because there will be a banquet in the Qin Wangfu tonight, which is a gathering of a group of people from Tiance Mansion, so all Li Er's wives and children will appear at this banquet.
The Li family has the blood of the Hu people and the Xianbei people, so their life is similar to that of Xianbei, for example, the Han family banquet is mostly for men, and the women are not allowed to come out to meet guests. But this is not the case with the Xianbei people, who bring their wives and children out to meet guests out of respect for the guests, which is the highest courtesy.
This point has been as early as the Three Kingdoms: Lu Bu invited Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others to a banquet, because he was from Bingzhou, and his customs were close to the Hu people, so Diao Chan accompanied him during the banquet, but Liu Bei thought that Lu Bu was looking down on him and let the women and Taoists enter the banquet. So Liu Bei didn't say it on the surface, but he hated Lu Bu in his heart, and Guan Yu thought that Lu Bu was using a beauty trick to make Diao Chan confuse his eldest brother, this Diao Chan was an expert in beauty tricks, so he hated Diao Chan. Later, Diao Chan fell into the hands of Cao Cao, when Guan Yu was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, the first beauty of the Three Kingdoms was given to Guan Yu, and there was an allusion to Guan Gong cutting Diao Chan on a moonlit night. Of course, there are different theories, but this is just one opinion.
