The next day, when Li Hong got up in the early morning, he found that Guo Xiang had been waiting by his bedside for a long time, and with a skin-to-skin relationship with Li Hong, Guo Xiang was less reserved and more charming when serving Li Hong. Her figure is slender, her face is already charming, and the charm of a young woman makes her even more delicate and moving.

Women are like that, and when she is blessed with the nectar of love, it becomes even more charming.

"Did you sleep well when you went home last night?" Li Hong asked.

"It's fine." Guo Xiang replied that she was no longer as cramped as before, and now that she is Li Hong's woman, she has to play this role well. Now that she's on this path, she should know what to do next.

"You're a smart man." Li Hong said with a smile.

After breakfast, as soon as Li Hong returned to the study, he saw Chen Gong come in and report to him, saying that Zhou Xing had arrived and was asking to see him outside.

Li Hong asked Chen Gong to lead Zhou Xing to the study.

"Zhou Xing, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" I haven't seen him for a few months, Zhou Xing has grown taller and stronger, and compared to the white-faced scholar before, he is now more like a martial artist. Li Hong is very satisfied with Zhou Xing's current appearance, as a cool official of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Xing has to look like a cool official, isn't it? You have a little white face all day long, how can you deal with a tough guy like Lu Dongzan.

"No need to be polite, you can sit down!" Li Hong said, "How is your sister doing lately?" ”

∞, however, Zhou Juan already knew his identity, and Li Hong was ready to accept the love affair with Zhou Juan calmly. He was going to return to Chang'an City this time, so he took Zhou Juan to live in the East Palace. Now that Zhou Juan's identity has been confirmed, he can no longer let Zhou Juan work outside. At the same time, he felt that Zhou Juan was outside, and many people would find trouble with Zhou Juan in order to deal with themselves, which would make Zhou Juan very dangerous.

"My sister is doing well, that is..."Zhou Xing said this, and when he saw that there was still Chen Gong on the side, he changed his words and said, "This time she knows that I am coming to Hezhou City, so she will give this to me and let me bring it to His Highness." ”

After speaking, Chen Gong had already put things on Li Hong's desk.

Li Hong opened the box, and inside were three small magnetic jars, which contained pickles, preserved eggs and pickles.

The fragrance of kimchi instantly filled the study.

Li Hong tasted this taste and was very intoxicated, because it made him feel that Zhou Juan was by his side, right in front of him, and he had never left Zhou Juan.

"Or she knows me!" Li Hong said happily.

Chen Gong and Zhou Xing on the side were also very happy to see this scene, as Li Hong's personal guard general, the prince was happy Chen Gong was happy, as his future brother-in-law, the things his sister gave to the prince could make the prince like it so much, and his younger brother was also very happy.

Zhou Xing is no longer a child, so he naturally knows that his sister marries into the East Palace, and the chance of becoming the queen in her identity is very small, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing, but the prince is not the prince alone who has the final say.

Therefore, whether Zhou Juan is favored or not represents her status in the palace in the future.

If you can't be crowned queen, it's not bad to be crowned an imperial concubine.

"Your Royal Highness, when the minister came, he asked the minister to tell you, he said that you don't have to worry about Luoyang's affairs, he will keep an eye on it, and there will be no major problems." Zhou Xing said. The wave in his mouth is Yu Chi Xunyan, because Wei Chi Xunyan's identity is very special, and now only the code name is used when the secret guards call Wei Chi Xunyan. Zhou Xing also has his own representative, his name is "Wolf Eagle", which means that he is tough like a wolf and as tricky as an eagle.

"He's alone." Li Hong said, "You can tell Gu about Chang'an City again." ”

"No!" Zhou Xing commanded and said, "Everything is fine in Chang'an City now, the manor outside the city is about to be completed, and the Imperial Bank that is being built has been prepared, and when His Highness returns to Chang'an City, he can open the account......

Zhou Xing told Li Hong everything he knew.

That's a morning.

At noon, Li Hong had dinner with Zhou Xing, and put three jars of pickles, pickles, and preserved eggs on the table.

Guo Xiang had already known that Zhou Xing was coming through her subordinates, and she heard about Zhou Xing from Wang Po's mouth last night. I thought that the man who Wang Wangpo was jealous of was also a thirty or forty-year-old, elegant and erudite person, but when she saw Zhou Xing today, she knew that she had guessed wrong, Zhou Xing was so young, not yet twenty years old!

Seeing that Zhou Xing could sit and eat with the prince without a sense of restraint, she was even more shocked, how much self-confidence does this have to be?

In fact, she wanted to be crooked, and Zhou Xing was also very nervous when he ate with the prince, but because of his sister's relationship and the fact that he was eating something sent by his sister today, he was able to behave so calmly.

In fact, he was nervous inside.

Nonsense, a child who grew up in a civilian square can sit next to the prince of the Tang Empire to eat at dusk, no matter how calm and calm he is, it is impossible not to be nervous.

"This time I go back to Chang'an with Gu, and you don't have to follow Wei Chi anymore." Li Hong said.

Zhou Xing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"You have to take the scientific examination with peace of mind, you must take the exam today, otherwise you won't have a chance in the future." Li Hong said. Now that Zhou Xing has become his person, he has to focus on cultivation, and there are very few people around him who can use it, and he will not give Zhou Xing another year to let him read books specifically for next year's exam, Zhou Xing only has this chance, and if he fails the exam this time, Li Hong will not let him participate in it again.

Also, since his affair with Zhou Juan was exposed, Zhou Xing, as Zhou Juan's younger brother, naturally has to receive attention from many aspects, and the pressure on his exam will be a little less this year, if next year, everyone knows about his relationship, it is estimated that his pressure will be even greater.

"No!" Zhou Xing said happily. The scientific examination is his dream, even if he no longer needs to work hard through the imperial examination, but his sister has worked hard for him to study for so many years, even if he doesn't think that the imperial examination is of any use to him now, he is ready to give his sister an explanation.

Also, because of Li Hong's ** printing technology, Li Hong printed a large number of subsets of scriptures and histories, so that books no longer become a luxury jewelry that only the children of the nobility can have, as long as there are a few hundred dollars to buy a book, although the poor children of the Tang Dynasty can not buy a large number of books to read, they can save money to buy a few books for the undergraduate examination, and a few people can still do things like buying a set of anthologies. Therefore, the number of readers in Datang has increased a lot in just two months, and the academic atmosphere has also become much stronger.

As a result, the number of scientific expeditions will increase next year, and the competitiveness will be great.

If Zhou Xing doesn't work hard to review and don't study hard, he may not be able to pass the exam.

Therefore, for Zhou Xing, for whatever reason, taking the exam this fall is the best time for him.

After lunch, Li Hong said to Zhou Xing, "Tomorrow, it is estimated that the Northeast army will be able to reach Hezhou City, and the day after tomorrow Gu will set off to return to Luoyang, you can't let my father wait too long, before you get to Chang'an on the way, you have about ten days to interrogate Lu Dongzan, do you think the time is enough?" ”

If you go to Chang'an City and torture Lu Dongzan again, it will be a bit too much to say. After all, he is the prime minister of Tibet, and Li Hong can't go too far.

"Ten days," Zhou Xing muttered, "As long as His Highness has full authority to let the minister deal with this matter, the minister is confident that Lu Dongzan will tell what His Highness wants to know." ”

Since joining Yu Linwei, Zhou Xing, with the support of Wei Chi Xunyan, has experimented with his whimsical ideas on the captured Liu Ju traitors, and the effect is very good, and his various methods of coercing confessions have made the prisoner who was previously hard-mouthed like a stone confess within two days.

Therefore, Zhou Xing, who is now very confident in himself, doesn't think that Lu Dongzan's mouth can be so hard that he can't pry it open.

"Okay, it's good if you have that faith." Li Hong said, "Now Chen Gong is in charge of all Lu Dongzan's security tasks, just tell Chen Gong what you will do in the future." ”

"No!" Zhou Xing commanded.

"How many people did you bring this time?" Li Hong asked.

"Two hundred people, all of them are the elite of Yu Linwei." Zhou Xing said.

"On the way back to Chang'an, Lu Dongzan's safety will be handed over to you." Li Hong said. In this way, Zhou Xing can play to his strengths even more. There are too many secrets on Lu Dongzan's body, and he wants to know it very much. And he is about to attack Tibet, and with the living map of Lu Dongzan, he can save him a lot of trouble.

"No."

"Okay, let's go see Lu Dongzan now." Li Hong said, got up and walked out, and Zhou Xing followed his pace.

Lu Dongzan was imprisoned in the barracks of Li Duoqi's leopard cavalry, because in Li Hong's heart, he was most at ease with his own personal guards, because the people inside were innocent, and there would be no undercover agents for Liu Ju. And in the vicinity of the leopard horse, there are wolf riders and ghost riders, these are two personal guard armies that make Li Hong very relieved, because Li Hong is very relieved of the and Zhao Zhongyong.

Therefore, he believes that it is safest to keep Lu Dongzan here.

And this is also the reason why Liu Ju's traitors did not dare to rescue Lu Dongzan in the city, not that they were not sure of Lu Dongzan's location, but that there was no way, without this ability, their people could not penetrate the periphery of these three elite horses at all, let alone go in to save people.

Li Hong rode on horseback, accompanied by Chen Gong and Zhou Xing, and in addition to the two hundred storm riders guarding his safety, there were also two hundred forest guards.

This iron cavalry of 400 people appeared in Hezhou City, which suddenly made the people look a little nervous, could it be that Tubo sent troops to attack Hezhou City again? There is another war in Hezhou City, right?

However, when they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on a horse, they were relieved.

When the prince travels, it is normal for him to have so many people around him.

And in the crowd of people who watched Li Hong riding by on horseback along the street, Wang Po and his man were also among them, and when they looked at Li Hong, there was no respect in their eyes, only endless resentment.

Yes, there's nothing wrong with it at all, it's resentment!

Because, they have a blood feud with Gaozong...

Because their identity is not as simple as it is now....
