Seeing Li Yuan and Luo Erhu gallop away, Zhou Zong returned to his former seriousness, and then asked people to close the door of the mansion and hurried back.

It has sunset, and the remnant sun of autumn follows the huge left-behind mansion, faintly gilded with layers of golden light.

In the position where Li Yuan had just sit, there was already a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old sitting at this time, and he had also changed a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand, and Zhou Zongzheng was standing in front of him, bowing respectfully.

I saw Zhou Zong smiling all over his face, and arched his hand: "The old man has seen His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

"Master Zhou is exempt!" The elders of the two dynasties of Zhou Zong's fame bowed down in front of him, but the young man was expressionless and nodded very naturally. Just because he is the eldest son of the current emperor, Li Hongji, the king of Yan who guards Runzhou and Xuanzhou.

Seeing that Li Hongji was just staring at him gloomily, Zhou Zong swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Li Yuan is not only brave and strategic, but also quite insightful about the affairs of the country, which is really a rare talent!" ”

Li Hongji did not object to this, and when Li Yuan was talking to Zhou Zong here, he hid behind the hall and listened to it completely. At this time, he showed a little anger: "Well, this person's talent is well known to this king, although it is a little alarmist, but there is also merit. Didn't the boss say before that Li Yuan was Song Chen's party? Why, now that you want to marry Emperor E, you love the house and Wu? ”

Zhou Zong's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "This, His Highness should have heard it too, it was the old man who was confused before, and he almost wronged his loyal ministers!" ”

Li Hongji didn't intend to make things difficult, and then gestured with his fingers on the table, revealing a sneer: "That's it, since Li Yuan has become your son-in-law, this king doesn't care." No matter who this person is associated with, you must mention him from now on, don't go against this king! In recent years, my third uncle has been biting harder and tighter! ”

Zhou Zong hurriedly stepped forward and said earnestly: "The old man understands! Please rest assured, Your Highness! Since Li Yuan is a virtuous son-in-law of my family, the old man is willing to vouch, and he will definitely serve His Highness! ”

Li Hongji finally showed a peaceful smile, "That's good!" If he can understand the matter, when the time is ripe, the king can protect him on one side, and in the future he will think of foreign aid. ”

"The old man thanked His Highness on behalf of his son-in-law!"

The matter was over, Li Hongji picked up the cup of tea in his hand with great interest, and when he saw Li Yuan's way of drinking, he was very curious, so he instructed the maid to make a cup for himself.

I saw him take a big sip excitedly, but the warm tea was not as delicious as before, and an extremely strong bitterness instantly numbed the entire mouth, extremely top. His Royal Highness the King of Yan didn't care about losing his manners, and immediately vomited on the ground, and then said: "This damn Tian Shenu! It's so bitter and unbearable, how can he Li Yuan be a dog! ”

Turning his head to see Zhou Zong's dumbfounded appearance, Li Hongji immediately regained his solemnity, took out a purple silk handkerchief from his cuffs, touched the corners of his mouth casually, and then pretended to smile easily: "Okay!" When your family organizes a happy event, this king will come to ask for a glass of wine to celebrate! This king went back to Runzhou first! ”

Relieved, Zhou Zong hurriedly got up: "Congratulations to His Highness!" ”

When he arrived outside the left-behind mansion, Li Hongji, the king of Yan, immediately took a pot of water handed by his subordinates and drank it bitterly, but the bitterness in his mouth still lingered, and even reached the bottom of his throat, almost crazy.

In the end, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "Okay, you Li Yuan, Zhou Zong can't see that he is old and dizzy, this king can see how scheming you are!" I hope you don't become the king's enemy! Otherwise, hiss~ so bitter! The next time we meet, I will ask you about the crime of poisoning this king......"

......

The sky of Chuzhou is the heaven of the hometown in the end.

In the eyes of Li Yuan and Liu Jiangsheng, as soon as they stepped into the boundary of Chuzhou, it was like the sky above their heads, the surrounding mountains, rocks and streams, and even the weeds on the side of the road, all added a sense of intimacy.

Luo Erhu was able to do the whole work, and ordered someone to carry out a large box, and several soldiers, under the command of Luo Erhu, took out the miscellaneous things that Li Yuan had received in the palace before, such as the cane, umbrella, brand, gong, and even two extremely ostentatious red lacquered wooden cards from nowhere.

So he turned his head to look at Liu Jiangsheng with a suspicious face, but only got two hehey smiles, and Li Yuan spread his hands helplessly......

Soon, on the official road outside Chuzhou City, such a mighty team of people suddenly appeared.

The two soldiers at the front of the team "banged" rhythmically, rang the gong, and shouted loudly: "Lord Duyu Hou Li drives!" Idlers and others avoid! ...... Duyu Hou Li is driving! Idlers and others avoid! ......”

Dozens of brightly armored cavalrymen marched slowly and in unison, followed by two solemn sergeants holding two large red lacquered wooden signs reading "Silence" and "Avoidance" respectively, and behind these two men held two smaller signs that read "General Xuanwei of the Four Grades" and "Marquis of the Palace Zhidu Yu".

Immediately after, Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu rode high-headed horses on left and right, escorting Li Yuan, who was wearing a purple robe with an embarrassed smile on his face in the middle, followed by four or five hundred soldiers of the forbidden army with a neat lineup, swaggering along the official road.

The direction of this road is not in Chuzhou City, there are not many people, only a few small vendors here and there, and there are passers-by from time to time, but when they see such a battle, they still get out of the way, and then respectfully bow their heads and wait for the car to drive over.

It's noon, and it's time for leisure. was made by Li Yuan and them, and the movement became big.

Somehow, the people around spread the word of ten, hundred, and then even the people in the city came out to see the excitement, and for a while, both sides of the avenue were instantly crowded with people. Li Yuan was obviously uncomfortable being watched like this for the first time, but he knew in his heart that not only Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu, but also the kind adoptive mother Liu at home, in this era, don't these people closest to him want to see their own scenery?

The center is sour, only their own people know; And returning home is for others to see! Why not be generous!

Seeing that the front was about to reach the Wangjiazhuang in his memory, Li Yuan simply pulled his throat and said with a spring breeze on his face towards the people who were watching all the way: "This official, General Xuanwei, Li Yuan, the Marquis of Yu, the palace is straight, and the people of Wangjiazhuang are returning to their hometowns today, and they are here to pick up the old lady and go back to Jinling to enjoy the blessings!" Folks, this official is polite! ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan himself choked, what kind of thing is this, there are still such polite officials in the five dynasties and ten countries?

Looking at Li Yuan's stiff smile, the onlookers didn't dare to reply even if they had ten guts, there were hundreds of soldiers around this official master! No matter how curious you are, you don't dare to try whether your neck is hard or not.

Wangjiazhuang is located three miles east of Chuzhou City, and Li Yuan and his entourage quickly struck the gong to the head of the village. When they were just watching, some good people watched the people and horses coming in the direction of Zhuangzili, and they had already come back to report it.

As soon as the high-headed horses of Li Yuan and his entourage stopped, they saw that Li Zheng of Wangjiazhuang had already led the men, women and children of the whole village, waiting respectfully.

Liu Jiangsheng beside him had an earnest face, looked for a while, then turned over and dismounted, and rushed towards the crowd with red eyes: "Mother! ”
