Lingzhou is close to the Yellow River, probably near Wuzhong in later generations.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the former Sui Dynasty, there was Lingwu County here, and the Tang Dynasty restored the name of Lingzhou, which belonged to Beidi County, and it may seem to be nameless at this time.

However, it has also left a strong mark in history, and after the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Suzong ascended the throne here. With the support of Guo Ziyi and others, Li Longji, who fled to Shuzhong, directly became the emperor who was set aside.

Of course, now it's only the Zhenguan years, nothing has happened, and Lingzhou may not be famous, but its importance is self-evident.

As a defense of Xue Yantuo in the north, Qilian in the west, and a key point in guarding against Tibet and Turks, Lingzhou is very important militarily.

The person stationed here now is none other than Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, the only remaining commander of the clan in the clan.

Whether it was for his identity as the king of the county or the commander of the soldiers and horses in Lingzhou, Xie Yi had to visit.

Before he entered Lingzhou City, there were already people waiting at the gate of the city, Xie Yi didn't know it, but Di Zhixun was surprised when he saw it.

"King of Jiangxia?!"

Xie Yi was surprised: "Slow, Di Shilang, what are you talking about?" ”

"Master Xie, on horseback at the gate of the city is the king of Jiangxia himself, I never thought that the prince would personally go out of the city to greet him." Di Zhixun was very clear about the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and if it was an ordinary state and county assassin history, it was indeed necessary to go out of the city to greet the reception mission.

But Li Daozong is a dignified county king, his status is noble, the monarch and the minister are different, he is stationed in the place, only others go to visit him, how can he come out to greet the guests?

Of course, if it is the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jizhi and the like, it would be reasonable, but the weight of Di Zhixun and Xie Yi is obviously not enough, even if it is an envoy to Xue Yantuo, on behalf of the Tang Emperor, it is also said that the border is like that.

Now in the territory of Lingzhou. Naturally, you can't take it so seriously, but partiality happens. Li Daozong's move can be regarded as Corporal Lixian? Or approachable?

Di Zhixun immediately put on a necessary flattered look, and quickly stepped forward and said: "Minister Di Zhixun (Xie Yi) sees the prince, how dare he work for the prince's daughter and noble body to go out of the city to greet him." ”

"You're welcome, this king has few distinguished guests in Lingzhou, and I heard that they are still two talents from Chang'an. This king was itching, so he was naturally anxious to meet him. Li Daozong's answer can be regarded as funny, and he seems to be quite a humorous person.

Xie Yi secretly looked at the appearance of this Jiangxia county king, which was different from Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, there was no sense of perseverance and heroism on his face, and the whole person looked more elegant and elegant, and at this time, he looked quite approachable with a smile on his face.

But between the demeanor, especially in the eyes, there is still a deep heroism that cannot be hidden. It makes people a little jealous and awe-inspiring.

"This is the famous Bachelor Xie of Chang'an?" Li Daozong exchanged a few words with Di Zhixun, turned to look at Xie Yi, and asked with a smile of interest.

"Xiaguan Xie Yi, the prince praised it falsely."

"If it's really a false praise, it should be a false praise from the people of Chang'an, and this king is just seeking truth from facts." Li Daozong laughed and said, "It stands to reason." It's a pity that I should meet a young talent like you in Chang'an. At that time, the king was still ......"

The word "grounding" was not spoken, but everyone understood it in their hearts, after all, the reason for the grounding of the king of Jiangxia County was a bit disgraceful, and everyone understood it.

Li Daozong continued to joke: "So, this king can't wait to come here today, I want to see what is extraordinary about you. Come on now. You can go to Lingzhou and stand in front of this king, what you say should be true. ”

"Thanks to the prince's love ......"

"Father!" Xie Yi was just about to say a few polite words, but he didn't want a shout to sound behind him.

When I came back to my senses, I saw the little lady of An Ning running over quickly. The goal was to target Li Daozong, and he shouted the crucial title of "Father".

Xie Yi was slightly petrified, is he really Li Daozong's son?

Sure enough, Jing Huan, oh no, it should be Li Jinghuan, he also walked over quickly, bowed down to Li Daozong.

"What? Enough fuss, back? Inadvertently, Li Daozong breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be quite fond of his daughter, but when he saw his son, his expression was a little unfriendly.

"The son was confused for a while, and the father forgave me."

"Really, for a female ......" Speaking of this, Li Daozong suddenly stopped, and his eyes glanced over Xie Yi. He changed his words and asked, "What's going on?" How can you be with the Mission? ”

"This ......"

Without waiting for Li Jinghuan to speak, the little lady An Ning burst into tears and said, "Father, we have met a villain......

After listening to his daughter's narration, Li Daozong was suddenly furious, there was such a mysterious armed force hidden in the realm of Lingzhou, and there was a plot against him.

It is really bold to almost hurt his own children with his hands, if it weren't for the mission, would a pair of children still be able to come back?

Li Daozong couldn't help but be a little afraid, as for his son's little "unscrupulousness" and willfulness, he didn't care about it at all, after all, safety is the first thing.

"It's okay, just leave the rest to your father." Li Daozong comforted softly and loved his daughter very much.

After a moment, he turned around and asked; "Jing Huan, have you noticed, who are those people? What do they want? ”

"I don't know who I am, but according to the situation at the time, I also went to the mission, so my father might as well ask Master Xie to see if they have offended anyone." Li Jinghuan's answer was very cold, and he was as unfriendly to Xie Yi as ever.

Li Daozong saw it in his eyes, and his face couldn't help but sink, probably because he felt embarrassed, and finally didn't say anything, and turned to look at Xie Yi.

Xie Yi stepped forward very consciously and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it turns out that these two are the prince of the mansion and the county lord, Xie Yi really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai. ”

"How do you ......" Li Daozong hesitated slightly, probably thinking that it was a little strange that Xie Yi didn't know his son and daughter.

"Ah, the prince and the county lord are thoughtful, they must have some concerns, they have never identified themselves, and only claim to be the family members of the officials of the Lingzhou Assassin Mansion."

Xie Yi hurriedly said: "It's no wonder that the lower officials have no eyes, the prince and the county lord have such a noble bearing, how can ordinary people have it, I didn't see it." ”

Li Daozong smiled, slightly embarrassed, it stands to reason that under the circumstances at that time, after confirming the identity of the mission, Li Jinghuan's brothers and sisters also indicated their identities in time to ask for help.

But Li Jinghuan didn't do it, he naturally knew what the reason was, fortunately, Xie Yi was "sensible" and helped to play the round in time, otherwise the Jiangxia County Mansion would be embarrassed.

"What Mr. Xie said, it's just two unsuccessful children." Li Daozong smiled, and then introduced to Xie Yi that Li Jinghuan was Li Daozong's eldest son, and he would inherit the title of Jiangxia County in the future. As for the girl Li Anning, she is the daughter of Li Daozong and the lord of Jincheng. (To be continued......)
