Chapter Twenty-Nine: Follow You
In the simple courtyard of "Squeak ......", the closed gate was opened, and a strong man in a cotton jacket walked out of the door and said to the two cloaked figures standing outside the door: "My Royal Highness has decided to see you, come with me!" As he spoke, he took the lead in the courtyard and led the way ahead.
The yard is not big, and there are still a lot of such yards in this Chang'an City, and they all look ordinary. Only the few plum trees planted in the courtyard came from afar, and the paths in the garden were swept cleanly, and the roadside was piled up with snow, but the bluestone slabs on the paths were clearly visible, and even the gaps between them were very clear. It can be seen that there is a special person maintaining it, the surroundings are snow-white, and the surroundings are extremely quiet, only the footsteps of the three people remain.
"Your Highness, someone has brought it!" The strong man took the two of them to the main house of the small courtyard, but did not meet anyone along the way.
"Let them in!" There was a faint voice inside, a little weird, the voice of a teenager who was in the period of voice change, the person inside was already a half-grown teenager, and he was in this period.
"Go in!" The strong man was very relieved to let the two cloaked men into the room, and without searching, he seemed to be very relieved to the two of them. Of course, this is also because he recognized the reason why these were two women from the light steps of the two of them and the faint fragrance on their bodies. The bigger reason was that he believed that the big man in it could deal with these two people, even if they really had other plans.
"Two, it doesn't seem to be a way to be a guest when you hide your head and show your face like this!" The young man sat on the Taishi chair next to the tea table facing the door, and looked at the two people who walked in with a little visitative eye. The snow-white cloak wrapped their bodies tightly. Even the faces are not very visible.
"Be careful, there is no big mistake, I hope His Royal Highness the King of Chu will forgive me!" A raspy but magnetic female voice came from the taller cloaked man, and both of them removed their hats from their heads. revealed two pretty faces that were disgusting and happy. The two faces have their own merits, one pure and the other coquettish. One is like a refreshing green apple with a sweet and sour taste, and the other is a ripe peach that is refreshingly sweet.
"I didn't expect it to be two women, and they are still so stunning in the country and the city! What is the matter with this king? Li Kuan seemed to know the identities of the two for a long time, and asked without the slightest surprise.
"The little woman Xingxian has seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu. This is the daughter of the people's daughter! The mature woman was slightly blessed, and then replied in a coquettish voice.
"Alright, don't talk about your stage name. You two are not dusty women! Hehe...... Let's talk about it! Don't beat around the bush! Li Kuan said directly, he hated such a strange way of communication, so as long as it was not a matter of no way, he was used to communicating and doing things directly.
"Your Highness. The little girl's intention this time is to hope that His Highness can allow the daughter of the people and the daughter of the daughter of the woman to follow His Highness! "Since Li Kuan doesn't like it. The woman who claimed to be called Xingxian also said directly, she also did a survey before she came, Li Kuan, the prince, is a relatively alternative one among the princes of the emperor today, and he doesn't like to fight for power, but cares about agriculture and the military. Unlike other princes who like to stir up trouble in the court, he is more like a general who commands the army.
"Follow me? I'm afraid this is not your intention! This king is not so arrogant as to think that someone is sitting at home and someone is coming to join him! What is your purpose? If you want this king to compete for some big treasure, then don't say it! The king is not interested in that position! Li Kuan said, he looked at the two women in front of him, and had to admit that these two people were the most beautiful women he had ever seen. Only Empress Xiao and Empress Eldest Sun are also empressed. and Li Er's Concubine Yang These women can win against the two of them, and the rest, even Li Lizhi and Tianxiang are inferior to the two of them. Because the two girls did not grow up after all, they suffered a congenital loss in terms of size.
"Why does Your Highness say so decisively, who can explain the things of the world? We just want to take advantage of His Highness's power to have a place to live in peace! Seeing Li Kuan's blunt refusal, Lian Xing couldn't help but say, but as soon as she said this, the face of Xingxian who was standing on her side changed. Didn't they say that before they came, shouldn't she be communicating with Li Kuan, why did this little girl interject like this? I'm afraid I'm going to suffer now.
"Haha...... Do you think that your Yin and Yang family, which has been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, have taught such disciples? It seems that the generation is really not as good as the generation, what a heroic and heroic Guiguzi was at the beginning, Sun Bin and Pang Juan can also be called a moment of Yuliang, and then Zhuge Wuhou and so on are all from your Yin and Yang family, why did you fall into such a state after Wuhou? Do you want to sell your hue in order to protect yourself? Li Kuan asked with blazing eyes staring at the two women in front of him.
"Your Highness, how do you know?" Lian Xing was taken aback, how did this prince know about such a secret thing? You must know that even those people from other schools on their side don't know the truth of their Yin-Yang family, thinking that they are just peripheral spies sent by the Yin-Yang family to find out the news of the world, and no one knows that only they are the mother and daughter left in the Yin-Yang family.
"What's so hard about that? In this world, its surname is Li! Li Kuan seemed to be in a state of mind and said, in fact, how to know is his own business, he has his own channels.
"Yes, when Wuhou died suddenly, the essence of the Yin and Yang family was also lost, and now only our Yin and Yang veins are still a little fur left, and the rest have disappeared in the long river of history in these years. And we can only hide in the world so carefully, show our heads, and protect ourselves with the help of this coat! Xingxian admitted, her voice low as she grieved for her fate and that of the girls around her. I think that their doctrine was also a majestic school that pointed out the country, and the big people who left a strong mark in the history books were the pride of them. What now? Only these two weak women remained, and in the face of the squeeze on the rest of the doctrines, they were reduced to such a state. Thinking about how many secret schools profited a lot from last year's war, they could only stare dryly, watching the endless benefits being divided by others and strengthening their own doctrines. And they can't even get a little scrap soup, so they will be swallowed up sooner or later, so they will come to seek support.
"Why did you choose me? I think my eldest brother has the support of the eldest grandson family behind him. The eldest grandson Wuji will definitely try his best to help him, and my third brother, the remnants of the former Sui are also extraordinary, why don't you choose, but choose me, the king of Chu who is just a light pole? This king thinks that he is not a master of the world with the spirit of a king, how can he make you willing to come and defect? Li Kuan still didn't believe that these two women were really not simple. According to the results of his secret investigation, the two appeared in Chang'an City more than twenty years ago, and only the woman named Xingxian was alone. A painting boat was opened on Qujiang Pond, and for a time countless Chang'an sons flocked to it. This long-sleeved woman who is good at dancing is just wandering around the wolves, and no one can kiss Fangze. Let these sons and brothers experience another taste. I'm even more fascinated by it. Among them, the most famous is his third uncle who has gone to Jiuquan - Li Yuanji. At the beginning, this King of Qi worked hard for this woman named Xiao Xingxian, and spent no less than 10,000 yuan on her. This money is enough to give everyone in the entire Chang'an City a full meal.
But even if she is the king of Qi, she wants to be her guest at the end of the curtain with a lot of money, but she can't do it. Even on the night before the Xuanwu Gate bloodshed, Li Yuanji stayed in her painting boat. Now this woman actually took the initiative to come to herself, and Li Kuan couldn't help but mutter.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu doesn't need to be suspicious, the people did think about your two brothers, but found that they must not defect. Serving them will only end up being a sheep. We are the only orphans and widows, and we will be eaten to the point that there will be no bones left! Xingxian Jiao laughed and said, these words invisibly flattered Li Kuan's broad-mindedness, and also hit Li Chengqian and Li Ke.
"Don't say these words, it is true that the two of them may really be as you say, but that is not the reason why you have joined this king!" Li Kuan was not moved by their words, although Li Chengqian and Li Ke each had their own shortcomings, they were not the kind of people who attacked two defenseless weak women. There must be other reasons for this.
"Because His Highness is affectionate!" Lian Xing gave Li Kuan an an answer on behalf of her mother, because they took a fancy to Li Kuan's point, so they decided to come to Li Kuan, since Li Kuan could beat Changsun Wuji in court for Li Liqian, then he would definitely defend his subordinates, but Li Chengqian and Li Ke may not be like this, because although Li Chengqian is the prince, the people around him will definitely be stared at by the smiling fox of Changsun Wuji, and then he will discover his secret, and then be used, and in the end, he will end up with a bird's bow. And Li Ke is because of his identity, he is the grandson of Emperor Yang Guang, which is not accepted by the two women, this emperor can also be called an ambitious generation, their ancestors also served under his account, but seeing its brutality, they were completely dead. For Li Ke, who is related to Yang Guang, he is not accepted by them. In this way, Li Kuan is left. Although there is no backer, there is no old thing, but he dares to fight, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, maybe he will not ascend to that supreme position in the future, but they only have two women, and they are not the kind of people who are attached to the power of the world, as long as they can keep them from inheriting and extinction, it is enough to pass on this last bit of incense passed down by the ancestor.
The ancients were like this, caring about inheritance, but they were stingy with inheritance. They care if someone adds a handful of soil to their graves after they die, but they leave a handful of what they have learned, hiding the essence of what they have learned in their hands, and refusing to pass it on lightly. Once there is an accident, then these essences will be lost, so there are many skills annihilated in the long river of history, and the Yin and Yang family is by no means the first, and it will certainly not be the last.
"Huh...... In other words, this king is a good lord in your eyes, who can protect you without doing anything to you, right? Li Kuan felt a little funny, these two women, their ideas are really simple! Over the years, he has been secretly arranging, although the entire Chang'an City cannot be completely controlled, but he can also understand everything. They and the rest of the guys who were hidden in the shadows, thinking they were very secretive, how could they know that they had already stepped into their sight two years ago, and they had been controlled by him like this for more than two years, almost three years!
