Chapter 113: Meeting Li Yao
A day later, Li Yuan and his entourage had returned to Kyoto, with a wide and tall city gate, and a gorgeous and noble carriage stopping at the city gate on the bustling street.
On the carriage frame, Wang Xingdong looked west, and finally saw a carriage with the banner of the King of Chu arriving in Kyoto, and hurriedly walked down to greet him.
"Meet the King of Chu!"
A call made Li Yuan and Jia Xu in the carriage stop talking.
"It seems that the Four Emperor Brothers have grown a lot."
Li Yuan chuckled, not seeing who the person outside was, but he could easily guess who was coming to greet him.
Jia Xu looked at the carriage in front of him through a gap in the curtain, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were gloomy, and he said silently in his heart:
"King Yao is a good candidate......"
At this moment, Li Yuan had already walked out of the carriage.
"Fifth brother!"
Li Yao lifted the curtain and smiled with joy at the reunion.
"Brother Huang, long time no see!"
"Let's go, our brothers haven't been together for a long time, and today the royal brother will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!"
Li Yao pulled Li Yuan directly into his carriage.
Yuwen Chengdu in the carriage frowned and looked at Jia Xu, could he just let His Highness be pulled away by King Yao?
Jia Xu motioned to the coachman to follow King Yao's carriage forward, and said with a light smile:
"No problem, don't count the things of today."
Along the way, Li Yao's hearty laughter passed through the carriage and spread outside the carriage, allowing many spies in the city gate to hear it.
Kyokeikaku, Kyoto's most prestigious restaurant.
On the top floor of the Jingjing Pavilion, a table of delicious food.
Li Yuan and Li Yao sat opposite each other, and Jia Xu, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Yongan, and Wang Xing sat at another table.
Li Yao smiled all over his face, lifted his wine glass and saluted Li Yuan:
"Fifth brother, the imperial brother wants to congratulate you, you drove away Chu Qingyan and took control of your fiefdom."
Li Yuan picked up the wine glass, hurriedly waved his hand, and sighed:
"Alas, Brother Huang, you don't know, if it weren't for my father helping me in secret, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take to control the fief."
Hearing this, the color in Li Yao's eyes flashed, and his smile became more sincere.
After the two drank a drink, Li Yao changed the topic and looked at Yuwen Chengdu and Jia Xu brought by Li Yuan.
"After the fifth brother took control of the fiefdom, he also recruited a lot of talents, I don't know who these two are?"
Li Yao's eyes focused on Yuwen Chengdu, because Yuwen Chengdu's tall and burly appearance was too attractive, and he knew that he was a fierce general if he looked like him.
When Li Yuan saw Li Yao looking at the two, he suddenly showed pride:
"These two are Yuwen Chengdu and Jia Xu, one martial and one Wen, who are my right-hand men."
"Alas, it's still the fifth brother who has a comfortable life, a fierce general who can be recruited at will in the fiefdom, which is like the imperial brother, staying in Kyoto, there is no capable general."
As he spoke, Li Yao sighed, and looked directly at Yuwen Chengdu, revealing a covetous look.
"Or, fifth brother, you give this Yuwen Chengdu to the imperial brother, and you go to the fiefdom to find another one?"
Li Yuan's face suddenly became a little bad, his tone was a little nervous, and he glanced at Yuwen Chengdu, afraid that Yuwen Chengdu would change his mind.
"Brother Huang, Yuwen Chengdu is the king's confidant, how can he give it to others at will, wait for the emperor to give the emperor a fief, and when the emperor goes to the fief, he will naturally meet more talents."
Li Yao saw Li Yuan's unconfident side, and laughed inwardly, it seems that his fifth brother is still the same as before!
At this moment, Li Yao's heart was settled, but he smiled bitterly on his face:
"The matter of the fiefdom, let's talk about it later, now the imperial brother just wants to serve his father well, after all, the four of you have gone out, and one of you must stay in Kyoto."
Li Yuan showed a touched look, stood up and toasted Li Yao:
"Brother Huang has worked hard!"
After a period of brother and brotherly respect, the relationship between the two seemed to return to the past, laughing and laughing.
While Li Yuan and Li Yao were talking, Jia Xu's eyes at the other table glanced up and down at Zhang Yongan and Wang Xing.
Wang Xing faced the powerful aura of Yuwen Chengdu, and kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Yuwen Chengdu.
Although Zhang Yongan was warmly entertaining the two, he showed sadness from time to time when he looked at Li Yao.
He knew that it was Li Yao who was using them.
Because Li Yuan used to have a good relationship with the two of them.
"Your Excellency is Zhang Yongan?"
Zhang Yongan raised his head and saw Jia Xu say his name, showing a surprised expression.
They had just taken their seats, but they hadn't introduced themselves.
Jia Xu saw Zhang Yongan's surprised expression, stroked his long beard, and his face became kind:
"It turns out that Your Excellency is the Zhang Yongan that His Royal Highness often talks about, and I heard His Royal Highness often say that he has two friends in the palace, one of them is Zhang Yongan, and the other is ......"
Jia Xu's gaze turned to Wang Xing, and Wang Xing also raised his head and looked at Jia Xu, revealing a look of anticipation.
"This is Yang Cheng!"
Wang Xing's expression stepped along.
Zhang Yongan heard the King of Chu say that he was his friend, and he often thought about himself when he arrived in the fiefdom, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and he also showed shame, he used to follow Li Yao, so he was often accompanied by the King of Chu, but he didn't expect the King of Chu to go to the fief and remember himself.
"This is Wang Xing, not Yang Cheng."
Zhang Yongan understood Wang Xing's embarrassment at this moment, and hurriedly explained.
"Oh, it turned out to be Wang Gongzi."
Jia Xu's enthusiastic attitude decreased suddenly, his eyes quickly moved away, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Yongan and communicated with him enthusiastically:
"Zhang Gongzi, I don't know what interesting things have happened in Kyoto recently, I came to Kyoto for the first time, and I was a little curious."
Zhang Yongan saw that Jia Xu ignored Wang Xing and kept talking to him, but he couldn't interject for Wang Xing at all, so he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
And Wang Xing looked at Li Yao, who was talking to Li Yuan, and found that Li Yao never looked at it, and even if he did, he was looking at Yuwen Chengdu.
Zhang Yongan has been talking passionately with Jia Xu, who has embarrassed him, and looked at Zhang Yongan to show dissatisfaction, and Jia Xu and Yuwen Chengdu saw that they didn't look at him, and thought of Zhao Yan's people, it was the same!
Wang Xing's face became more and more gloomy, and he could only bow his head and drink, a glass of wine and a glass of wine.
A quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden knock at the door, and one of the guards reported:
"Your Royal Highness King Yao, the eldest princess has something urgent, please go back to the house."
Li Yao, who was talking to Li Yuan, heard this, and the wine glass raised in the air was stunned, and his face immediately showed dissatisfaction.
Li Yuan put down his wine glass and said to Li Yao:
"Brother Huang, since my aunt has something urgent to find you, you can go back first, and we will meet again another day."
Li Yao's face was a little bad, and he showed a look of shame:
"Alas, fifth brother, you continue to eat and drink, the imperial brother will go back to the house first, you can order whatever you want, and it will be recorded in the imperial brother's account."
immediately beckoned Zhang Yongan and Wang Xing to leave.
When Li Yao had been gone for less than a minute, there was a sudden knock outside the door.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, someone in the pavilion next door invites you over!"
"Oh?"
Li Yuan and Jia Xu glanced at each other, both showing a touch of interest, who would be looking for Li Yuan at this time?
