From Chang'an to Fanyang, if you are in a hurry, it will take about 15 days to arrive.

However, the emperor demanded that he must see Li Kai, the king of Wei, and return to Chang'an within thirty days.

This invisibly put pressure on Xie Xuan and Pei Jing - they had to rush to Fanyang within ten days before it was possible for King Wei to rush back as scheduled according to the date set by the emperor.

In May, Chang'an has begun to show the beginning of summer, and as far as the eye can see, the whole city is covered with green. The grass in the corners and on the side of the street is growing wildly, and it grows so tall that it doesn't reach a person's ankle in a few days.

The dry and warm wind brings the fragrance of flowers and refreshes the heart.

Xie Xuan and the fifty elite troops accompanying him had already assembled outside the Tonghua Gate as early as dawn, and they could set off for the north as soon as Pei Jing arrived.

But Pei Jing has not arrived.

just sent someone to spread the word, saying that the concubine in the family had a sudden emergency, and she would come after the imperial doctor's diagnosis.

Helpless, Xie Xuan had no choice but to order everyone to stay in place for the time being, and wait for Pei Jing to come before reorganizing the army and setting off.

However, Xie Xuan waited left and right, but it was not Pei Jing who was waiting, but an unexpected person.

He never expected that Li Ronghe would come to see him off.

Not only did I see him off, but I also brought gifts.

Three bottles of Jinchuang medicine, dozens of bottles of various other wound medicines and tonics, and a letter.

Xie Xuan's eyes were both surprised and moved, he took the medicine, groaned for a long time, and finally only bowed his head and said "thank you".

Li Ronghe snorted, "The medicine is for you, and the letter is for the Fifth Emperor Uncle." Help me deliver the letter to him. ”

“……”

Xie Xuan's mood was suddenly a little complicated.

"Besides, there's something else I'd like you to help with." Li Ronghe looked up into his eyes.

Xie Xuan said calmly, "You say." ”

Li Ronghe was not in a hurry, "In business, how about making a deal with me?" ”

……

When Pei Jing was late, Li Rong had reached an agreement with Xie Xuan and was just about to leave.

Pei Jing had never seen Li Ronghe before, and he didn't know that she was the county lord in the East Palace, and which sister Xie Xuan was supposed to be, so his eyes lit up in an instant.

He has only one big hobby in his life: beauty.

He loves to appreciate beautiful women, and he also loves to collect beautiful women.

And after so many years, Pei Jing has more or less seen the daughters of famous gentry in Chang'an City, down to the stunning Oiran of Fireworks Willow Lane, but he has never seen such an unearthly woman today, even if it is not an exaggeration.

Looking at the age, it is only thirteen or fourteen, and it is still a delicate flower. Pei Jing's eyes lit up as if he had seen some peerless treasure.

I didn't expect that such a young and ignorant little flower was discovered by him before the fame spread.

Pei Jing couldn't help but carefully look at the little flower in front of him up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that although the little beauty in front of him was immature everywhere, between her eyebrows and eyes she was a little amazingly similar to the first beauty in the capital "Gongzi Jin".

But no matter how beautiful Gongzi Jin is, he is a man in the end, what can be the use of a man's beauty? On the side of the bed, of course, it has to be a beautiful woman to be more pleasing to the eye.

Besides, the one in front of him is still young after all, and if he grows up for a few years, he will not necessarily be worse than that Gongzi Jin.

Pei Jing moved as he wished, and his feet inadvertently slid to the side, and he smiled and blocked Li Ronghe, who was about to leave.

In terms of appearance, although he Pei Jing is not as good as Xie Xuan and Gongzi Jin, he is also a noble son and a graceful man.

When it comes to family history, there is nothing to say. Looking at the capital, apart from the Xie family, who else can be more noble than his Pei family?

Pei Jing bowed to Li Ronghe with twelve points of confidence, "Pei Jing in Xiaxin Anhou Mansion, I have seen a girl." ”

Li Ronghe hummed expressionlessly, bypassed him and continued walking.

"Girl." Pei Jing took a few steps back and stopped in front of him again, smiling gently, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

Li Ronghe frowned, "Get out of the way." ”

After saying that, once again bypassed him to leave.

"Girl, please wait."

Seeing that the prey in his hand was about to run, Pei Jing was willing to give up, hurriedly raised his feet forward, and followed behind again.

He made a bit of a fuss this time, not only alarming the surrounding people who rushed out of the city to gather onlookers, but also alarming Xie Xuan and Baozhu and Qin Lang'er, who were waiting not far away, and rushed over to relieve Li Ronghe when they saw this situation.

Pei Jing didn't pay attention to the movement next to him, or he didn't care if he did, after all, it was not the first time he had done something to tease a girl on the street, and he was full of experience.

At this moment, he has only one desire in his heart, which is to pluck the flower in front of him and put it in his pocket.

At that moment, Pei Jing saw that Li Ronghe was still unmoved, and in a hurry, he dared to reach out and pull her arm, "Girl, down is Pei ......, the son of Xin'an Hou."

Before he finished speaking, he only felt that the scenery in front of him suddenly swirled, and the whole person immediately rose into the air, and before he could react to what was going on, he was slammed to the ground by a force.

There was an instant exclamation of exclamations and cheers all around.

Li Ronghe's deerskin dumpling boots stepped on his face, looking down at Pei Jing condescendingly, and there was murderous aura gathering in his eyes.

"Please be merciful." Xie Xuan, who came in a hurry, froze in his footsteps, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and pleaded.

He originally came to relieve Li Ronghe, but he didn't expect to come to him, but the person who was going to be relieved was Pei Jing.

Pei Jing's death is not a pity, but if he dies now, the trip to the north will inevitably be delayed, and the candidates sent are likely to be replaced, so wouldn't their deal with the right talents be in vain?

Li Ronghe glanced at Xie Xuan lightly, did not speak, but took his feet back, neatly bypassed the two, and took Qin Lang'er and Baozhu through the crowd of onlookers, and quickly disappeared into the street corner.

The frightened Pei Jing is now no longer oppressed, but he is still lying on the ground, and he has not yet recovered from the "county lord" shouted by Xie Xuan.

The surrounding onlookers had not dispersed, Xie Xuan was embarrassed, so he had to drag Pei Jing up from the ground, and he was not angry enough to lift him on the horse and announce that he was ready to go.

Pei Jing was half-riding and half-lying on the horse, his head was still dizzy and uncertain, "The right one...... Is it the county lord? ”

Xie Xuan's thin lips pursed, obviously unhappy.

Pei Jing continued to ask as if he didn't feel it, "Whose county lord is she?" ”

Xie Xuan clamped the horse's belly, suddenly rode forward, galloped all the way to the front of the team to open the way, completely away from Pei Jing's chatter.

"The county lord...... Princess......? Pei Jing looked blankly ahead, muttering for a long time, and suddenly shouted "ah", and shouted at Xie Xuan's back in front of everyone, "She, is she the county lord in the East Palace?!" ”

……

……

There is a county lord in the East Palace.

If this sentence is told to the people of Chang'an City, perhaps most people's first reaction is to ask "Yes?" first. ”

After all, compared with the obscure county lord, people seem to be more familiar with the flowery and stubborn little county king in the East Palace.

The swaggering prince Li Yong and the county prince Li Rongmu are the most eye-catching fathers and sons in Chang'an City.

In contrast, Li Ronghe, who hardly leaves the palace and has a cold personality, is not easy to be noticed by people under the "halo" of his father and brother.

So after many years, many people have even gradually forgotten that there is such a county lord in the East Palace.

But soon, almost overnight, she officially walked into the after-dinner chatter of the people of Chang'an like her father and brother.

There is no other reason, just because there is news that the little county lord of the East Palace beat Pei Jing, the son of Pei Qin, the Marquis of Xin'an.
