The first stop of the heavy snow is the sunny day when the clouds open and the fog disperses, this kind of time is very rare, after a few days of grievances in the house, it is a good thing to take this opportunity to walk on the street, but it is also a good choice to bask in the back garden full of silver flowers, by the way, it is also a good choice, this is not, dressed in casual clothes Wu Wang Li Ke and Shu King Li Su are sitting in the back garden against the chessboard and are very happy, there are several henchmen standing behind each other, silently watching the progress of the chess game, it is really elegant and tight.

Li Ke is elegant by nature, and he plays chess quite well, although he can't catch up with Li Zhen's master-level level, but it's not too big a gap, and Li Ke, chess skills are just a so-so half-hanger, even if Li Ke spares his three sons, this game of chess is only played in the middle of the game, Li Ke is already on the verge of collapse, but Li Ke's mentality is very good, although he was killed by Li Ke and lost his armor, but he didn't surrender on this move, he still sat in front of the chessboard, unhurriedly continued, not as vulgar as he showed in front of others, It's really a bit of a literati.

Qi Qi two highnesses, that person's identity has been clarified. When the brothers reached the official stage of a game of chess, Sima Linhe of Wu Wangfu hurriedly entered from the gate of the garden, walked quickly to the front, and bowed down very respectfully.

Oh?. Li Ke casually put a chess piece on the chessboard and asked without raising his head.

Back to His Royal Highness, according to Ye Shilang's suggestion, sent someone to send the portrait to Fangezhuang, and inquired about the newly attached Zhuhu, and some people recognized the origin of this person, who turned out to be the eldest son of the former Khotanese general Fu Ja Yong, and the nephew of the former Khotanese king Fu Ja Xiong. Although Li Ke's question was casual, Lin He didn't dare to slack off, and replied in a hurry.

Well? What's going on? When Li Ke heard this, he raised his head, frowned, glanced at Lin He suspiciously, and asked lightly.

Lin He bowed down and said: Your Royal Highness, according to investigation, the former Khotanese king Fu Yanxiong resisted the Tang Tianwei, so that the army was defeated and Tiancheng, he himself was captured by the Anxi Tang army, and then the whole country surrendered, Xiao Dalong, who was the envoy of Hezhou Town, sent troops to escort the former members of the Khotanese royal family into Beijing, but he was attacked by sand thieves in the middle of the road, and the whole army was exhausted. There has been no news for the time being.

Is there such a thing? Where is Fu Kui now? Li Ke frowned and thought about it, then asked.

Lin He slowly shook his head and said: "Unknown, a search has been launched at the other end of the East Palace, and King Wei's side is also secretly looking for this person, but they have not yet received reliable information.

Oh? Li Ke said noncommittally, turned his head, looked at Li Ke who was looking down at the chessboard, and asked tentatively: Sixth brother, what do you think about this matter?

Li Su and Li Ke are brothers of the same mother, the original gang in the early years, but later, Li Su secretly tricked a lot of tricks behind Li Ke's back, in the Hou Junji Rebellion a few years ago, it almost pushed Li Ke into the fire pit, the brothers completely parted ways, but since beating Li Zhen into the crown prince, the two brothers are getting closer and closer because of the common goal, plus the brothers' mother Yang Shufei is in the match, the brothers are now a group again, but, The things on the surface are not accurate, the two brothers are no longer the kind of relationship that can be put in place, but they are just together because of the common enemy, this brother has a lot of numbers in their hearts, it is obvious that in dealing with Li Zhen, the enemy, the two brothers are the same, no one will see anyone else, at this time Li Ke asked, Li Su immediately said without hesitation: The third brother doesn't know, the younger brother also has some clues at that end, and it can be determined that the matter of taking Fu Kui at that end is absolutely true and reliable, As for why you want to take it, it's not something that the younger brother can guess in vain, but according to the younger brother, maybe it has something to do with the destruction of the Fu family, hehe, it's hard to say, Xiaoba's person is yin, God knows what he's thinking about again.

Snakes have snake roads, crabs have crab roads, and the princes are not fuel-efficient lamps together, compared to Li Ke's focus on taking the officialdom route, Li Ke likes to contact with people of three religions and nine streams, and there are all kinds of characters under his hands, and Li Ke knows a lot about the legends of the rivers and lakes, folk anecdotes and other news, don't look at what he says in his mouth, in fact, the news is true, Li Ke knows this in his heart, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: In this way, this Fu Kui came to Beijing for Xiaoba? Hehe, the courage is commendable, this king is very admirable.

Haha, that's, that's, it's bold enough, it's a pity, a hero is about to become a ghost in the blink of an eye, hehe, it's a pity, it's a pity! Li Yan laughed, stretched his waist, pretended to be extremely regretful, and said with a grin.

The sixth brother's words are not right, how can you say that the big guys are all brothers, aren't they? Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble, should my brothers help share it, sixth brother, what do you say? Li Ke smiled knowingly, and then said something tentatively.

Yes, yes, the third brother is worthy of being a virtuous king, and the younger brother is the only third brother who is the first to look forward, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not appreciate the good intentions of our waiting, how can this be good? Li Su smiled slyly and kicked the ball to Li Ke again.

Li Ke's eyes flashed, and he looked at Li Ke with a righteous and awe-inspiring look and said: Hey, sixth brother, you can't say that, it's one thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to appreciate it or not, but what should be done, I should help when I am a brother, let people see jokes but not play, what does the sixth brother think?

Well, whatever, who asked me to wait for the brothers, how good the third brother is, as for the side, the younger brother doesn't care about it. was squeezed by Li Ke, Li Su was not ambiguous, laughed and pushed away the chessboard, stood up, and said with a smile: In this case, the little brother will go back to prepare for one or two, and wait for the third brother's orders, hehe, farewell. As soon as the words fell, he arched his hand at Li Ke, and led a group of henchmen to swagger out of the back garden.

How is it? After Li Tai got up and watched Li Su leave, he turned his head to look at Ye Ling, who had never said a word, and asked with a smile.

Ye Ling smiled, and did not reply immediately, but walked to the chessboard and sat down, stretched out his hand to restore the chess games that had been disrupted one by one, and then said with a smile: His Royal Highness the King of Shu has a good hand of chess, hey, if you play seriously, Your Highness will not let the third son go, even if you guess first, you may not be able to win.

Ye Ling's words are used to talk about people, Li Ke understands it, to be honest, for this sixth child who has always been good at disguise, Li Ke has always been very wary, but he doesn't take it very seriously, after all, Li Su's power in the court is too weak, and second, Li Su is already a person with a criminal record, unless all the brothers are finished, otherwise, Li Su has no qualifications to play this game of chess in the Tang Dynasty at all, for Ye Ling's reminder, Li Ke didn't care much, just played haha, it was in the past, was more interested in the capture of Fu Kui in the East Palace this time, and opened the topic with a smile: Songcheng, there is such a big movement at that end this time, it seems that there is a posture of taking people at all costs, is there anything strange about this?

It's hard to say, judging from the bright side, His Royal Highness the Prince's actions seem to be a bit excessive, well, Lin Sima, what kind of person is this Fu Kui? How is the martial arts? Ye Ling frowned, and did not directly answer Li Ke's question, but turned to Sima Linhe, the palace who was standing respectfully on the side, and asked calmly.

Ye Ling asked, Lin He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: Back to Ye Shilang's words, according to those Hu people, this son is an enemy of ten thousand people, with infinite strength, and good military strategy, and is a brave general from Khotan.

Oh? In this way, this son is here to seek revenge on His Royal Highness the Prince, so it is no wonder that the prince's side is so nervous, this makes some sense, but when Ye Ling said this, he stopped again, as if he remembered something, but he couldn't grasp it, and his brows furrowed.

Well? Song Chengzhi meant to see that Ye Ling only said half a sentence and paused, although Li Ke's curiosity rose, he didn't ask immediately, but waited for Ye Ling to raise his head, and then asked tentatively.

No, I was thinking that this son was so bold and reckless to break into the capital on a single horse, maybe some of them were too shocking, could it be that he actually planned to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince? It seems unlikely, perhaps, well, maybe it was possible that someone came to sue the royal court. Ye Ling frowned and said uncertainly.

Sue the royal court? So, where does this start? Li Ke already knew from Li Su's previous words that the death of the Khotanese royal family must be the black hand of Li Zhen's people, however, not to mention that Fu Kui can't produce evidence, even if there is evidence in hand, it's useless, this is a matter of national policy, and it is a major matter related to the reputation of the prince, even if the lawsuit is about to come out, no matter what the old man thinks, he will definitely wipe out Fu Kui, no matter what, no one will be allowed to make a fuss about this matter, not to mention a small former Khotanese prince, that is, the kings want to make a fuss about this matter, You have to be prepared to be beaten hard by the old man, besides, this matter of killing Hu at the border has gone to the sea, even if the ordinary people know, they will only say that Li Zhen did it right, and will never accuse Li Zhen of being cruel.

Ye Ling was not very sure of his statement, but at this time, seeing Li Ke's unbelieving appearance, he didn't insist anymore, shook his head with a smile and said: It's just so-and-so, it can't be true, but no matter what, this son came to Beijing to come down to His Royal Highness the Prince, but it is absolutely not fake, even so, maybe there is an article to do, well, King Wei must have been eyeing the East Palace's moves, I might as well have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind, and it is not bad to find an opportunity to weaken the dark forces at the other end of the East Palace.

Okay, Songcheng's words are exactly what I want, Lin He, pass the order down, keep an eye on this king, once you find out the whereabouts of Fu Kui, you will report it immediately! Li Ke laughed and applauded, and gave the order loudly.

Be. As soon as he heard Li Ke's order, Lin He didn't dare to slack off, replied loudly, hurriedly withdrew from the backyard of the palace, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it

The Lantern Festival has arrived, as one of the most lively festivals in the tradition, Chang'an City is filled with a festive atmosphere, although the heavy snow has just stopped for a day, the weather is cold enough, the snow has not disappeared all over the city, the street is also muddy, but how can not stop the people from festive jumping, from early in the morning, the flow of people rushing to the market will be full of streets, when the lanterns are first put on, it is even more amazing, the lanterns, the dragon boat is on the whole East Street is already crowded with people, that is, even the road is not very moving, not only the people of Beijing gather here, even the four towns and eight miles outside the city have all rushed here, how can it be so lively?

Fu Kui, who was asleep in the inn in a drowsy state, was woken up by the unprecedented bustle outside, dizzy and crawled up, groped out of the door, and saw the heat outside, only then was he surprised to realize that he had been asleep all day unconsciously, and after smiling bitterly, he hurriedly freshened up, and hurriedly ate some meals in the inn, and did not ride a horse, so he went to the street with a knife to solve the ox, and after wandering around the street for a while, he looked for a kind person and asked the road to Fangezhuang, And he wandered away.

Fan Zhuang is partial, although the city, but it is close to the north city wall, most of the people who live there are attached to the Hu people, from the East and West Turks, Tuyuhun to the small countries of the Western Regions, all kinds of people are very mixed, ordinary people will never run there, the closer to Fan Zhuang, the more scarce the flow of people will be, but this is for Fu Kui, who is squeezed in the flow of people, it is a desperate thing Fu Kui can be regarded as going south and north in this life, and has been to a lot of places, But I really haven't experienced the thing of walking through such a crowded crowd, this desertion, when it came, Fu Kui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps were a lot lighter, and he found someone to confirm the lower position again, and then went to Fan Gezhuang, however, Fu Kui kept an eye this time, and did not rush into Fan Gezhuang, but hid in a dark alley outside, not only observing the movement in Zhuangzi, but also carefully checking the flow of people in and out of Zhuangzi, planning to try his luck and see if he could meet familiar people.

Luck is sometimes really inaccurate, Fu Kui came this time, originally just intended to explore the way, and did not expect to find someone immediately, however, good luck fell from the sky at the moment when Fu Kui was about to retreat, I saw a group of men and women with lanterns surrounded by a middle-aged man walking over while talking and laughing, this person's name is Kan Bayo, Fu Kui is very familiar with it, he was the clerk under his father's account, and he also taught Fu Kui Chinese back then, before the fall of Khotan, this person was the vice minister of the kingdom, He was born in one of the four great families of Khotan, and his family is considered a wealthy family in Khotan, rich and powerful, and has a good relationship with Fu Kui's father and son.

Vice Prime Minister Kan, it's been a long time. Seeing the group of people getting closer and closer, Fu Kui hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and called softly.

Kanbaye is a literati, and his courage is not too big, he was talking with his family about the lively scene of today's Lantern Festival, and he heard someone in the dark on the side of the street greeting him, using his old official title, and he was taken aback when he landed, his whole body stiffened and stood on his feet, slowly turned sideways like a mechanical rotation, looked at the tall figure in the shadows, and asked in a trembling voice: Who? Who's there? Seeing that the situation was not good, the family members on the side all panicked, and they all crowded and retreated behind Kanbaye, watching the visitor nervously, and the atmosphere became strangely tense.

Don't panic, there is no malice, please take a step to speak? Fu Kui knew that Kanbaye's family was not bold, and he didn't come out of the shadows, but just said gently.

Ah, you are Kanbaye is very familiar with the tone of this voice, and he was stunned when he arrived, while taking a lantern from a family member, he walked forward, and took a light with the lantern, and saw that Fu Kui was looking at himself with a smile, and he was taken aback, his mouth opened wide, and he was about to blurt out the words, but fortunately, Fu Kui saw the opportunity quickly, put up a finger and pressed it on his lips, signaling Kan Bano to silence.

Lingzheng, Lingyan, you will take your mother and relatives home first, and if you have something to do with your father, you have to delay a little, so you can go back. Kanbano nodded knowingly, but swallowed vigorously, turned around, and said a word to a pair of children.

Yes, Father. Although everyone in the Kan family was very curious about who this mysterious person was, they did not dare to disobey their father's instructions, so they each answered, and walked along the street into the village of Fan Ge step by step.

After seeing his family leave, Kan Baye stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat, blew out the lantern in his hand in one breath, came to Fu Kui's side, and said very anxiously: Little prince, how dare you come here? Damn, now the whole city is looking for you, there are people who have come to this village with your portrait to inquire, you better hurry up, or someone will find out, it will be miserable, alas!

Well? Let's be clear, who's looking for so-and-so? As soon as Fu Kui heard Kan Bayo's words, he immediately became alert, his eyes sharpened, and he asked in a cold voice.

I don't know, they are all fierce men, their faces are tight, and their mouths are strict, I really don't know who the characters are, but I heard that if someone knows the whereabouts of the little prince, just go to the sound of the Yan Ji business, you can have 500 yuan to take, you go quickly, the surrounding area is not peaceful in the past few days, if the old decay is delayed for a long time, it will definitely attract people's attention. Kanbano saw that Fu Kui hadn't moved for a long time, so he was in a hurry, and hurriedly urged.

Fu Kui saw that Kan Baye did not ask where he lived now, nor did he hide the news that someone was tracking him, so he concluded that Kan Baye could still be trusted, at this time he saw that Kan Baye was in a hurry, and it was not good to ask about some interesting things, and he muttered slightly: I heard that there is a Yunlin Temple outside the city, and the incense is prosperous.

Tomorrow? It's not proper, there are too many people who will enter the temple tomorrow, and there are many people, in case you call someone to recognize it, it will be miserable, the day after tomorrow at noon, you go quickly, someone is coming. Kanbano saw the lantern shaking in the distance, and it was obvious that many people were coming here, so he was in a hurry, hurriedly dropped a word, and walked towards the village without looking back, Fu Kui saw this, shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and shook and disappeared into the darkness
