Volume 2 The Journey to Nanhuai Chapter 58 Acquaintance
As soon as Li Dingxing and the others left the city gate, the guards behind them approached Li Dingxing and reported: "Second son, there are people following us behind us." ”
"How many?" Li Dingxing asked sideways.
"There's only one."
Li Dingxing replied lightly: "Don't pay attention to it." As the second son of the King of Nanhuai, Li Dingxing is confident that no one dares to cause trouble in Su City, not to mention that there is only one person on the other side.
Li Dingxing and his entourage were in front, and Yi Xiaodao was behind, so the two groups of people went out of the city and headed towards Dayang Mountain in Suzhou City.
……
There was a light rain in the sky, and the cork was invited into the palace of the king of Nanhuai, the rice wine of Nanhuai was not too strong, but it was also intoxicating when he drank too much. Huang Bai's guards were placed elsewhere, and his own Nanhuai soldiers went to accompany him, and Huang Bai was staggered by the officials of the Nanhuai king, frequently invited wine, and after a while, he was drunk and unconscious.
"Lord Wang, this..." The officials saw that Huang Bai had fallen drunk in the banquet and looked at each other.
King Nanhuai put down his chopsticks: "Yang'er, Lord Huang is not strong enough to drink, find a clean guest room and let Lord Huang live." ”
"Yes." Li Yaoyang summoned a few sergeants, lifted the drunken Huang Bai, and went down to make arrangements.
After a long time, the banquet was dispersed, the officials left one by one, and Li Yaoyang came in from outside the door: "Dad, why did you let that person surnamed Huang live in our house?" Isn't there a pavilion? ”
King Nanhuai held a teacup, took a sip of tea and said: "After all, it is an envoy of the imperial court, and the wine eaten in the mansion is sent out when drunk, which is not like words." Besides, if you live under our noses, you are not afraid of them playing tricks. ”
"Hey, this surnamed Huang is short in stature, he must also be a southerner, why is he not wary of this rice wine at all, the court is afraid that there is no one, so he sent this kind of person to be an envoy." Li Yaoyang remembered Huang Bai's drunken appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
Nanhuai Wang Zhengse said: "You can't look like people, this Huang Bai is a court doctor of the imperial court, and he is a native of Feicheng, and it is normal to not be used to drinking rice wine." Yang'er, you have to remember, don't judge by experience, you must check what you don't know! ”
Li Yaoyang saw that his father was serious, so he had to put away his smiling face and said, "Yes, the child must follow his father's teachings. ”
The father and son were chatting, and an official came in and whispered a few words in the ear of King Nanhuai, who nodded and waved his hand to signal the official to step back.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Li Yaoyang was a little puzzled on the side and asked out loud.
Li Yaoyang is Li Rongqi's eldest son and the son of Nanhuai, but the official report still whispers to the king of Nanhuai, which shows that the king of Nanhuai has strict control over the officials under his jurisdiction.
"When greeting the envoy, Huang Bai once turned his head and glanced back, and his father sent people to watch from the city tower, and now there are more than ten people who are a little suspicious, and the people below dare not be self-conscious, so they reported it." King Nanhuai said lightly.
When Li Yaoyang heard this, he was quite indignant: "Was it sent by the imperial court?" Don't work with the envoys, what little moves you want to make behind your back! ”
King Nanhuai raised his hand to stop him: "It is normal for people to distrust us, and it is also reasonable for the court to distrust us." It's just that he underestimates us too much, and he doesn't even have a little cleverness..."
"Son, please do this!" A hint of ferocity flashed in Li Yaoyang's eyes.
King Nanhuai waved his hand: "No, after all, it is a person from the imperial court, and it is okay to detain them for two days and let them suffer a little." If you make a good one, it won't be easy to explain to the court, so you can go down too. ”
Li Yaoyang bowed his head to listen to the order, and then retreated.
After Li Yaoyang retreated, Li Rongqi, the king of Nanhuai, sat alone in the hall, rubbing the teacup and thinking about it.
……
In prison, Xiang Lian'er and Fang Long, as well as dozens of others, were held in a large cell.
"Why are you arresting people indiscriminately!"
"I didn't do anything, are you mistaken!"
"My lord, I'm just going into the city to sell pears, I don't want pears, you let me go!"
A group of prisoners clung to the cell door, pleading incessantly.
"Miss Lian'er, what should I do now? We were caught so inexplicably, Brother Yi..."Fang Long asked Xiang Lian'er.
Xianglian'er sat down and put her hands on her knees: "Don't worry, Yi Xiaodao will have a way to save us!" ”
Fang Long looked at the prisoner who was crying out on the side, and then at Xiang Lian'er who was sitting, and simply sat down next to Xiang Lian'er.
After a while, Fang Long couldn't help it, and asked out loud: "Brother Yi didn't know that we were arrested, how could he save us?" Even if Brother Yi knew that we had been arrested, what could he do to save us? ”
Xiang Lian'er glanced at Fang Long: "I'm not him, how do I know?" ”
"Then you..." Fang Long was a little speechless by Xiang Lian'er.
"Yi Xiaodao, this person, looks like the most unreliable, in fact, it's right to hand it over to him. We just have to do what he says and don't make any extraneous problems. Xiang Lian'er remembered that on the official road in Wucheng, Yi Xiaodao pretended to surrender to Kong Leopard, and finally fought back, if it wasn't for He Yue'er to persuade herself, she might have ruined Yi Xiaodao's matter.
Xiang Lian'er ignored Fang Long anymore, closed her eyes, and rested.
Fang Long saw it in his eyes and muttered in his heart: "What a weirdo, you are the one who scolds him the most, and you are the one who believes in him the most... Alas, did my dad put me on a thief ship..."
……
Yi Xiaodao followed Li Dingxing and the others from a distance and came to the foot of Dayang Mountain.
"Second son, that person is still following." The guards reported to Li Dingxing again.
When Li Dingxing heard this, he frowned slightly: "Go and send it away." ”
The guards of the report turned their horses and headed towards Yi Xiaodao, and Li Dingxing led the other three guards to ride up the mountain.
The guards came on horseback, and Yi Xiaodao was also riding a horse, so he didn't have time to dodge, so he had to come up head-on.
"What people! What are we doing with our sneaky work! Don't go yet! The guard asked, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Yi Xiaodao turned his head left and right, pointed to himself and asked, "Are you talking to me?" What do you mean to follow you, I came to this mountain to play, you care about me! ”
The guard smiled coldly: "Your accent is not from Su Cheng, and you dare to quibble!" ”
Yi Xiaodao spread his hands: "Anyway, the road is facing the sky, go to each side." I'm out of town, what? Can't people from other places come to Sioux City to play? ”
The guards were refuted by Yi Xiaodao, knowing that they were not reasonable, but the second son had already sent a message to send him away, so there was no reason to let him go. With a "sonorous" sound, he pulled out half of the long knife in his hand: "The second son is going to visit this mountain today, and please find another place for your Excellency, don't ask for trouble!" ”
The word "trouble", the guard deliberately dragged a long note, with the long knife in his hand, a strong sense of threat.
Yi Xiaodao no longer bothered, patted the horse and rushed towards the guards, the guards saw that Yi Xiaodao suddenly burst out, and they were not polite, and pulled out the long knife and rode towards Yi Xiaodao.
The distance between the two gradually got closer, and the guard took out a long knife and slashed according to Yi Xiaodao's face: "Look for death!" ”
Yi Xiaodao rolled the saddle and dismounted, rolled on the spot, turned around and punched the horse's buttocks, this punch contained fire, pouring out, the horse was in pain, and a long neighing galloped away.
As soon as the guard on horseback reacted, he slashed the air with a knife, looked back, and just saw the scene of Yi Xiaodao punching the horse's buttocks, and before he could open his mouth to speak, he was taken away by his crotch mount.
"Be careful, don't step on the crops~" Yi Xiaodao shouted to the guards who were going away, trotted two steps with a smile, grabbed his horse, turned over, and continued to walk towards Dayang Mountain.
Li Dingxing was halfway up the mountainside, and he came to a bamboo forest with a familiar car, and there was a small pavilion in the bamboo forest. Li Dingxing entered the pavilion alone with a bow and a quiver, and sat on the railing to read a book, with the bow and quiver aside. The other three guards took out their robes from the packages on horseback, dressed and stood around the pavilion, guarding Li Dingxing.
"Hey, my hair is mopping the floor, it's all wet." A call came, disturbing Li Dingxing's Yaxing.
The three guards outside the pavilion immediately drew their knives in their hands, looked at the way they came, and saw Yi Xiaodao soaking wet, brushing away the bamboo, and walking in with a smile.
Li Dingxing closed the book, hugged it in his arms, and asked, "Where are my guards?" ”
Yi Xiaodao squeezed his shoulders and said, "I don't know, I guess I was dragged by a farmer and made him lose money." ”
"Be careful." Li Dingxing couldn't understand Yi Xiaodao's "crazy words", and warned the guards.
There is no need for Li Dingxing to say more, the three guards also understand that Yi Xiaodao is not easy to deal with, and the missing guard is the evidence, no matter what method he uses, so that the guard does not come over now, it shows that he still has some outstanding skills.
"Hey, don't do it, I just want to talk to him." Yi Xiaodao saw that the three of them were surrounded, and hurriedly waved his hand.
The guards didn't listen to him, and the three of them divided into three directions, two of them split their faces, one of them cut their waists, and rushed towards Yi Xiaodao together.
Yi Xiaodao's eyes quickly swept over the three of them from left to right, and he headed towards the guard in the middle, seeing that the blade was coming towards Yi Xiaodao's neck. Yi Xiaodao grabbed the guard's legs with a cat's waist, and with a strong move, the guard was hung upside down behind his back, blocking the blades of the two behind him.
The two guards behind him saw that their companions were restrained and blocked in front of their long knives, and hurriedly stopped the knife momentum.
Li Dingxing put down the book in his hand, picked up the bow from the ground on the side, took out a feather arrow from the quiver, opened the bow and took the arrow, and aimed at Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao threw the guards in his hand at the two behind him, ignoring them, and rushed straight towards Li Dingxing.
With a "whoosh", a feather arrow shot at Yi Xiaodao...
The three guards climbed up, only to see the feathered arrow nailed to the wooden pillar of the pavilion, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking to itself. Yi Xiaodao choked Li Dingxing's neck, and a second feather arrow appeared in Li Dingxing's hand at some point, and the arrow cluster was only two inches away from Yi Xiaodao's eyes.
"Good skills! The second son of King Nanhuai! Yi Xiaodao smiled and let go of his hand.
Li Dingxing put down the feather arrow in his hand: "You have no killing intent, what are you looking for me?" ”
"No, I just want to know each other." Yi Xiaodao smiled dryly, "I have a younger sister, and it's time to talk about marriage, so I want to come over and ask the second son if he is interested." ”
Li Dingxing glanced at Yi Xiaodao strangely, and came to the door without saying a word, but it turned out to be just for his sister's marriage? Looking at Yi Xiaodao's appearance, he is just an ordinary person, and he still has the courage to come to the son of Nanhuai Wangfu to ask for marriage?
Li Dingxing had doubts for a moment whether there was something wrong with this kid's brain, but looking at his skills and conversation, he didn't look like a madman, so he simply didn't bother with it, sat back on the railing of the pavilion, picked up the book and flipped through it.
Seeing Li Dingxing's appearance, Yi Xiaodao didn't want to deal with him, and the three guards behind him didn't have a good face for him, so he smiled curtly: "It's really a bit hasty, it's okay, the second son can think about it, haven't you asked the second son for his name?" ”
Li Dingxing glanced at Yi Xiaodao and said impatiently: "Li Dingxing." ”
"Good name!" Yi Xiaodao roared, startling everyone, "Under Yi Xiaodao, I won't disturb the second son's reading, I will wait for the second son's reply in the Nanhuai Palace!" ”
After Yi Xiaodao finished speaking, he smiled at the other three guards, walked out of the pavilion, brushed aside the bamboo, and left along the way.
"Second son, this is a madman, my subordinates will go back to the city, report to the prince, and send someone to protect the safety of the son." A guard stepped forward and said that just now the three of them had nothing to do with each other, and the guard was a little ashamed at this time.
"No, he doesn't have any bad intentions, don't worry about him" Li Dingxing had an excellent temper and did not get angry.
Another guard came over: "This person has some skills, if he can use it for the prince..."
Li Dingxing's eyes flickered and he was worried, and ordered: "Go back and tell my eldest brother that he will pick me up outside the palace gate in the evening, and say that someone wants to be unfavorable to me." ”
