Volume 1 The Storm Chapter 178 Tangled
Xu Dong looked at Mo Juzi, and when he saw that he didn't stop him, he continued: "Mo Juzi is old, and he doesn't have the heart to accept any more apprentices, plus Master Mo Yan is young, and a lot of the Mo family's knowledge has not been sorted out in Mo Juzi's mind, so it's best for me to be this organizer!" β
Seeing the righteous words he said, he didn't ask any more, if he asked any more inside information, so that Mo Juzi had to accept himself as an apprentice, it would be over.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Then I won't bother you apprentices, I'll go back to prepare my affairs first, the East Palace should have been messed up, I'd better go over and help the prince say a few words!" β
After saying that, he put on a hat and ran into the rain without looking back, leaving the Mo family and Xu Dong.
Donggong was different from what he thought at this time, Li Chengqian had already changed into clean clothes and was eating chicken soup with the crown princess.
The crown princess was sullen when she saw Li Chengqian coming back from the palace, and she had already guessed that he had something on her mind, but the crown princess never thought that Li Chengqian would leave Chang'an again soon, just when she was about to give birth.
The two of them sat at the table wordlessly, and the rain outside the house seemed to have no intention of stopping at this time, and the cold breath outside the window was as cold as in the house.
The arrival of the heart disrupted the quiet atmosphere, and the rain on his face was a little embarrassed and said: "What's wrong with you, don't quarrel, my sister is about to give birth, it's not worth being angry about this little thing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't be able to come back long this time to go to disaster reliefΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Chengxin began to talk endlessly from the moment he came in, and he didn't see the faces of Li Chengqian and the crown princess at all, and in the end, Li Chengqian "accidentally" dropped a bowl, and Xiangxin realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
I saw tears in the eyes of the crown princess, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "The prince is going out again?" Do you know that your child is about to speak out, prince, do you know if you can see me when you come back from this outing? β
Li Chengqian knew what the princess was worried about, and he also knew what the princess was afraid of, in ancient times, when a woman gave birth to a child, she walked around the ghost gate, Li Chengqian came back from this disaster relief and may be able to catch up with the princess to give birth to a child, if he comes back late, he really can't catch up.
Women hope that their men can be by their side at the most important moment, at this time the scene quieted down, and they only felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and looked at the rain that was still falling outside: "The rain seems to be a little lighter, I will go home first, Li Yulong's side I don't know how to explain it!" β
As he spoke, he ran into the rain without looking back, leaving Li Chengqian looking at the pouring rain outside the window with a frightened face, thinking that he was different from the rain he saw.
Xiangxin left the palace in the pouring rain, Liu Deng was still waiting at the door outside the palace, he heard Xiangxin say that someone was staring at him, and when he came out of the mansion before, Liu Deng also felt that another person was following Xiangxin, but Liu Deng did not have Xie Ziwen's ability, so he couldn't find the enemy's location, he could only feel the approximate location.
Xiangxin and Liu Deng returned to the house safely all the way, and when they closed the door, they heard Liu Deng say: "Young master, someone followed us just now, but they didn't do it." β
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, DuangDuang's voice came, Chengxin and Liu Deng instantly quieted down, Xiangxin gave him a look, Liu Deng immediately leaned over and said, "Who!" Knock on the door and do what! β
The knocking on the door stopped suddenly, and the voice of someone outside the door came, "We are looking for the owner to get the drawings, and Zhao Zhao of Yufengzhai asked us to come!" β
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, looked at Liu Deng and said, "Open the door, your own people!" β
Liu Deng opened the door latch, glanced at the person who came, and found that it was Yufengzhai's work yesterday, and said while beckoning him in: "Why did you come here to get the drawings after such a heavy rain, is it different to come back tomorrow when the rain stops!" β
The job explained as he walked inside: "The shopkeeper attaches great importance to your drawings, this is not to let the villain hold the wooden box and oil paper, if the owner draws it, give it to the villain!" β
Satisfied no longer talked, hurriedly pulled the work to get the drawings, and rewarded him with a little broken silver by the way, not letting him come in vain this time.
Satisfied with the work and sent it away, Li Yulong turned around and said that he would go out for disaster relief in a few days.
Li Yulong's performance was different from that of the crown princess, when she heard that she was going out for disaster relief, Li Yulong immediately went back to the house to pack her luggage, saying that she would go out with her heart.
Satisfied sat on the side and watched Li Yulong pack his luggage, only to feel a grievance welling up in his heart, if it wasn't for a trip back to Ningbo, why would he have to come out with this moth, saying that it was for the people, for himself, in short, he felt that he was going to the south this time.
After sighing, he still said: "Why should the lady make it difficult for me, I guess you should know why I went out for disaster relief this time!" β
After Li Yulong heard the words of satisfaction, he threw away the messy luggage in his hand, "Don't you just want to go to Ningbo!" I'm much more familiar with Ningbo than you, and I'm definitely right with me! β
Xiangxin blinked, leaned over to Li Yulong's side and hugged her and said: "Maybe you are right, I should also keep my promise to go out with you, but the crown princess's mood is very unstable, if the prince goes out of Chang'an, I am afraid that she will lose control of her emotions, and the princess is about to give birth, leaving her alone in Chang'an, I really don't feel at ease!" β
Li Yulong knew that what Xiangxin said was the truth, and even knew that the crown princess was about to give birth, thinking that the crown princess had been comforting herself and accompanying her before, if she left Chang'an with her satisfaction, the crown princess might really not be able to hold on.
There was no talk all night, two rooms, two teams of couples, and the atmosphere was a little boring because of one thing.
The rain finally stopped after a day and a night, but the sun still did not fall, and the sky was still gray.
Li Chengqian left the East Palace early in the morning and went straight to the Jinluan Palace, and the crown princess looked at Li Chengqian's departing figure with tears in her eyes.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xiangxin to bring Li Yulong over, and Xiangxin knew that what he could do couldn't solve the princess's heart, so it was better to bring Li Yulong over, and the two of them snuggled together to survive this time.
The early court is still going on, but there are many fewer civil officials today, and it is said that they had a severe cold in the rain yesterday and need to be raised at home, and they will be absent from the matter of going out for disaster relief today.
Li Shimin has already seen through these people, and is still arranging manpower in an orderly manner, last night he and the king of Gaochangguo have discussed the results, Gaochangguo is willing to provide food to help the Tang Dynasty get through this pass, but one thing is for sure, the Turks were forced through Gaochang, and Gaochang has never betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and this batch of grain also needs to be bought by the Tang Dynasty with silver.
It may seem that this is a result that both countries are willing to see, but in fact, this is a compromise between Li Shimin and those people of the Jiangnan Shi clan, Li Shimin feels that he has a nest, on the one hand, he must try his best to help the people affected by the disaster in Jiangnan, and on the other hand, he has to be subject to the famous families in Jiangnan.
Just when Li Shimin was assigning the task, Hou Junji also arrived in Chang'an with a small part of the soldiers and horses and Ashina Muyun, although Chang'an City experienced the heavy rain all day yesterday, but it did not suffer much disaster, but the moat, which did not have much water, was about to overflow at this time.
Cheng Chumo came to the East Palace as soon as he got the news and told him the news.
Xiangxin hurriedly rushed to the palace, wanting to see Hou Junji and Ashina Muyun first, but he was still a step late, Ashina Muyun was taken to a side hall by the palace guards and tied up, and Hou Junji also took the sentinels from various states to the Jinluan Palace to report the situation.
Without much consideration, under the leadership of Cheng Chumo, he found the side hall where Ashina Muyun was imprisoned, and carefully entered after identifying himself with the guards.
In the side hall, Ashina Muyun was being tied to a chair, and he was a little surprised to see Xiangxin come in, "Isn't this the little commander of the "commando", what's the matter, the prince sent you over to interrogate me?" β
Hearing Ashina Muyun's jokes, he also thought that he had heard what he had joked with Cheng Chumo before, so he smiled, looked at Ashina Muyun and said, "You are the sixth prince of the Turks?" β
Ashina Muyun didn't expect that the first question he asked himself was actually this, and he was stunned for a while before he smiled and said, "Yes, I am the sixth prince of the Turks, how is it, surprise?" Accidental? Hahahaha! β
Ashina Muyun, who looked at the laughing laughter, waved his hand towards Cheng Chumo, signaled him to close the door and go out, and then looked at Ashina Muyun and said, "You made up a story before just so that I wouldn't kill you, right?" In fact, you don't need to make up a story, I won't kill you if you directly identify yourself, after all, you Turkic people are fighting among us, and we Datang are also willing to watch it! β
Ashina Muyun's face changed, and his smile gradually faded, "Infighting? I made up a story, but I just want to see how much you know about our Turks, and those who know a little bit about the Turks naturally know that Ashina Muyun is the sixth prince of the Turks, and Ashina Gale is the fifth prince of the Turks! β
Hearing Ashina Muyun's words, he also smiled, "Oh? Are you here to find out the enemy's situation? Why do I think you're trying to get us to focus on the second prince? β
Speaking of this, he looked at Ashina Muyun and said: "You actually dare to come to Chang'an to ask for peace in person, if my guess is right, the second prince should have been eliminated by you, and the Turkic Khan has also been eliminated by you?" The Turks are in a mess now, if you stay in Chang'an for a year, maybe the Turks will completely change the sky! β
Ashina Muyun gritted his teeth, looked at Chengxin with anger on his face, and said, "What do you want to do?" Do you have what it takes to keep me in Chang'an for a year? β
