Chapter 192: Back to Kyoto
Suddenly, the white light in the inner color area of the roulette wheel increased, and the spars in the range were bright, and there was a pale white light area. Suddenly, a spar flashed with an extreme white mang, soaring into the air, and the white crystal turned into countless crystal powders to form a white card!
I saw a general wearing battle armor and holding a long knife, with a sullen face appearing, and what was particularly conspicuous was that there was a palm-sized brown pigmentation spot on the upper and lower eyelids and cheeks on the left side of his face.
Blue-faced beast Yang Zhi! Yang Zhi, the dark star, is one of the one hundred and eight generals, ranking seventeenth. Sure enough, this roulette unexpectedly and lived up to expectations to summon one of the heroes of Liangshan.
This was the first time Li Yuan had a feeling of satisfaction. What is it called? All wishes come true! In terms of adjusting his mentality, Li Yuan has always been very good.
…………………… The caravan arrived safely thirty miles away from the county seat.
Zhou Tie and Niu Geng left in gratitude from Lao Zhou and other merchants.
"Haha, this week's business is good, and I sent another thousand taels to our Liangshanzhai." On horseback, Zhou Tie said happily.
"Brother Gongming's actions are admirable, don't they admire." Niu Geng smiled and groaned: "We are now getting stronger and stronger in Liangshan!" ”
"Yes, with Brother Gongming, our Liangshanzhai will only get stronger and stronger, brothers, aren't they!" Zhou Tie shouted loudly.
"Yes!" There are many mountain bandits behind him, most of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, and they all echo with knives or sticks. A corner, the distant scene showed, and suddenly in a small pavilion next to the official road, a black-faced Humpty Dumpty man was looking forward to it, and when he saw Zhou Tie and them appear, he seemed to let go of his heavy thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast next to him, was silent, leaning on the stone pillar, with a thick sigh and unwillingness in his eyes.
Outside the small pavilion, thirty or forty good hands stood, clenching their weapons tightly and guarding their surroundings.
"Isn't that Brother Komei?" Niu Geng's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that the figure in the small pavilion in the distance was Song Jiang, whom he admired.
"It's Brother Gongming, brothers, let's go!" Zhou Tie also recognized it at a glance, his face was full of excitement, so he beckoned the mountain bandits behind him to quickly run to the small pavilion.
"Brother Yang is a little unwilling, he wants to stay by His Highness's side, and he wants to be reused by His Highness." Song Jiang saw that Niu Geng and Zhou Tie were still some distance away, and his eyes turned to Yang Zhi next to him.
Song Jiang knows very well the character of every Liangshan hero, and he understands very well what Yang Zhi is pursuing, because he is also the same person.
And this kind of person is best used.
"Hmm!" Yang Zhi raised his head slightly, his nose was muffled, and he didn't know what to say in the face of Song Jiang, the former big leader.
Song Jiang smiled faintly and said disapprerovingly: "Brother Yang, do you think your strength is comparable to Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu?" ”
"Not comparable." Yang Zhi's eyes darkened, and he said honestly.
"The ability to unify the army, Brother Yang can be compared to Zhong Liyi and Ma Chao?"
"Not comparable!" The fireworks in Yang Zhi's heart gradually went out.
"With them, can Brother Yang compete for credit in their hands?" Song Jiang asked three times in a row. Yang Zhi was silent, and his face became more and more distressed.
Seeing this, Song Jiang sighed and said, "What's more, Your Highness will have many existences that are comparable to them in the future, or even surpass them." If you stay with Your Highness, do you think you can stand out among them? ”
"You can go back to His Highness now, His Highness will definitely not treat you badly, and directly give you the official position you want. But in the future, there are many people who are stronger than you, what credit can you get? In their eyes, you are nothing more than an old man who appeared next to His Highness in advance. Yang Zhi's eyes widened angrily, and he tightened the knife in his hand, although Song Jiang said it very tactfully, he could imagine his future grievances.
"Jia Liang and Guan Sheng have been born, they are not by His Highness's side now, and their role in the future will be stronger than their strength, and the more credit they will make."
"Brother Yang, I know that there are many people below who don't recognize me Song Jiang, but in the eyes of more people, our Liangshan is a whole!" Song Jiang's eyes became sharp, and his gaze became firm: "We can only have a place under His Highness in the future if we hold our heads for warmth!" ”
"Just like now, if we take Lianzhou, we have this credit, and when we settle the credit in the future, who will not accept it!" Yang Zhi's eyes were stunned, and the fire in his heart suddenly rose, and he suddenly woke up.
It is difficult for a man to make a contribution to his own career, and it is difficult to rise to the head by His Royal Highness's side, but here, with Brother Gongming and himself, and with the secret support of His Highness, why worry about not getting great credit.
When the time comes, His Royal Highness will reward himself again, and he will be promoted to the knighthood, who can despise him.
"Thank you brother for reminding me, Yang Zhi is ignorant!" Yang Zhi bowed to Song Jiang.
"No, my brothers are of the same heart, how can we be so unfamiliar!" Song Jiang hurriedly helped Yang Zhi up.
"Brother Gongming!" At this moment, Zhou Tie and Niu Geng had already rushed to the front of the small pavilion, quickly dismounted and galloped. Song Jiang's heart moved, and an invisible wall cover in the small pavilion disappeared in an instant, and he hurried to meet it.
"Brother Gongming!" The two immediately bowed down. Song Jiang quickly helped him up, looked concerned, looked his eyes up and down on them, and said in the first sentence: "You are not in danger, right?" ”
"Brother Gongming, this way is okay!" Niu Geng looked at Song Jiang's concerned gaze, and his heart was full of emotion.
Brother Gongming must have traveled so far to meet them for their safety.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Brother Gongming has been waiting for a long time." Zhou Tie was so moved.
"Come on, brothers, I'll introduce you to someone." Song Jiang did not deliberately explain why he was here, but naturally pulled the two of them and introduced Yang Zhi to the two of them with a hearty face.
……………………
"Li Gongzi will say goodbye!" It's almost time to arrive at the county seat, and Lao Zhou said goodbye to Li Yuan by the carriage. Li Yuan smiled and nodded, said kindly and disturbed, and then said goodbye and left, the carriage drove slowly, and from time to time a breeze blew into the carriage, and the sound of the caravan talking also came into it, all about Liangshanzhai.
Lao Zhou looked at the slowly departing carriage, and sighed in his heart, originally this mysterious son was their last guarantee when they encountered danger, but they didn't expect to meet Liangshanzhai, and then arrived safely in the county seat.
Reading the book, the old man Zhou stood fixedly, watching the carriage slowly leave his sight, he didn't think about who this mysterious son was, but put his thoughts on Liang Shanzhai, especially the Song village master, for some reason when he recalled the face of the Song village master, he had a bold idea faintly revealed in his heart.
…………………… Ten days later, Li Yuan finally returned to Kyoto, and the person who greeted him was still an old man.
The eldest princess Li Mujun, or the superintendent of the imperial history Li Mujun! In the palace of King Chu in Kyoto, Li Yuan sat on the main seat, and Li Mujun sat below.
"Xiao Yuan, long time no see!" Li Mujun's face was calm, dignified and generous.
"Congratulations to my aunt on returning to Kyoto." Li Yuan seemed to be very surprised to see Li Mujun. But Li Yuan's words broke Li Mujun's state of mind, and his face showed a touch of anger.
"It's not because of you!" Li Mujun never understood why he was suddenly forced to return to the fiefdom when he was obviously fine in Kyoto at the time.
Until a few days ago, someone told her that the source of all this came from the King of Chu! Li Mujun recalled the scenes at that time, and finally set his impression on the scene where Li Yuan visited him at that time.
Because of him, he separated himself and Li Yao! Because of him, the rumors that he was going back to his fiefdom would spread throughout Kyoto, and then King Xuan, King Ming, and King Yu would push the boat down the river!
"Auntie, what are you talking about, why can't this king understand!" Li Yuan's expression did not show any abnormality, and he still maintained a gentle smile.
Li Mujun looked at Li Yuan's calm and calm expression, and was in a trance for a while. The first time she noticed Li Yuan, it was because of the Chu Qingyan incident.
She vaguely remembered that the first time she looked for Li Yuan alone, in the library pavilion, he was holding a scroll, looking at her with a shocked face, and he looked panicked.
"I don't know what Auntie, what are you doing when you come to find this king?" Li Yuan saw Li Mujun's distracted appearance and interrupted loudly.
He still has a lot of things to do now, but he doesn't have time to play with Li Mujun. Li Mujun was suddenly awakened by Li Yuan, remembered the purpose of his coming, and looked at Li Yuan with complicated eyes.
"Three days later, the envoys of the various dynasties will come to Kyoto, this time the purpose of their arrival is not simple, Your Majesty has made all the preparations, the king of Chu can watch it." Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, what does this mean?
Is it to let yourself not interfere? Li Mujun recalled that Li Yuan only had one carriage and only brought three people back, and his confidence returned.
This time, it was Emperor Yao who was in the limelight, and naturally he couldn't let the King of Chu steal the limelight, so Lin Xiang secretly wanted Li Mujun to mention the King of Chu.
But Li Mujun came directly stupidly.
"Your Highness, Zhang Yongan is visiting." Xiao Ye quickly stepped into the main hall to report.
"Let him in." Li Yuan's head hurt a little, knowing that Li Mujun must have been used again, just when he didn't know which tone to use to drive her out, now Zhang Yongan came at the right time.
"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" As Li Yao's former follower and Li Yuan's friend, Zhang Yongan stood in the center of the lobby and saluted Li Yuan respectfully.
"Yong'an, long time no see, give me a seat!" Li Yuan waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Yongan to sit down.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a decree, please enter the palace!" Zhang Yongan didn't get up and said respectfully.
"Oh?" Li Yuan glanced at Li Mujun unexpectedly, he understood what Li Yao meant, Li Mujun was not called by him.
"Since it is the royal brother's summons, this king naturally wants to go, aunt, I will not accompany you." Li Yuan got up and prepared to go to the palace with Zhang Yongan.
"This is nature, Yuan'er go quickly." The moment Li Mujun came in from Zhang Yongheng, her expression became very gentle, as if she had a good relationship with Li Yuan.
After Zhang Yongan bowed respectfully to Li Mujun, he took Li Yuan to the palace. Outside the palace, the carriage of the palace was ready.
"King Chu, please!" Li Yuan entered the carriage, but Zhang Yongan did not dare to enter with him, but got into another smaller carriage to lead the way.
I don't know how many pairs of eyes saw this scene in front of the Chu Palace. Some time ago, there was already a faint rumor in Kyoto that the King of Chu might want to return to Kyoto, but many families did not take this matter seriously.
Just kidding, the king of Chu is doing well in Lingzhou, why did he want to go back to Beijing? Now this scene is enough for the Kyoto family to be sure that the King of Chu has really returned to Beijing, and he has returned!
Why did the King of Chu return to Beijing? Why did the king of Chu dare to return to Beijing? For a time, Kyoto shook, and the undercurrents of various families surged!
On the street, outside the window of a restaurant, a pair of eyes calmly watched Li Yuan get into the royal carriage. He was very sure that the Fifth Emperor Brother had really returned.
This person is none other than the Sixth Prince Li Heng! At first, Liu Jin told him that Emperor Yao planned to recall the King of Chu back to Beijing, but Li Heng still didn't believe it.
But a few days ago, he specially sent someone to investigate on the way Li Yuan had to return to Beijing, and sure enough, he found Li Yuan's traces.
At that time, he was shocked, no matter why Li Yuan returned to Beijing, but the relationship between Li Yao and Li Yuan was something that Li Heng never wanted to see.
I must separate the two of them and secretly win over the King of Chu!
"This king is going to visit Lord Chen tonight!" Li Heng put down the wine glass in his hand and said slowly.
"Yes!" A figure slowly appeared, he understood what King Heng meant, and immediately prepared to inform that Lord Chen, the household servant.
…………………… Half an hour later, Li Yuan opened his eyes in the carriage, and the palace had arrived! In front of the gate of the glorious and noble palace, the guards and palace maids and eunuchs knelt respectfully on both sides, Li Yao's imperial robe was added, and his hands were standing behind his back, and a immature imperial momentum appeared!
"Haha, fifth brother hasn't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!" Seeing Li Yuan get out of the carriage, Li Yao strode over, revealing a hearty laugh.
"Brother Huang is now domineering!" Li Yuan also showed the joy of meeting him for a long time. The two hugged each other fiercely!
"Brother Huang originally thought that the fifth brother would need a few days to arrive in Kyoto, but he didn't expect the fifth brother to return so early!" Li Yao's gaze at Li Yuan was very kind.
I asked the fifth brother to come back, and the fifth brother came back. It seems that the fifth brother is loyal to himself!
"The royal brother called, and the imperial brother naturally didn't dare to shirk it, so he left on the second day." Li Yuan smiled, and his tone was very sincere.
"Haha, let's go, let's go to the imperial study to talk!" Li Yao patted Li Yuan on the shoulder to show his closeness, and pulled Li Yuan into the carriage and entered the palace.
"Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have a lot to talk to the imperial brother."
"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Liu Jin, the only one standing with Li Yao, shouted respectfully.
"Hmm!" Li Yuan didn't think so, responded casually, and got into the carriage with Li Yao.
"Fifth brother, do you know how shocked I was when you exposed your Fazun Realm cultivation and fought against Ling Meng! I didn't expect you to reach the Fazun realm, I don't think you can be as proud as you on the first day! ”
"Haha, Brother Huang, I can't help it, you also know that I am in danger in Lingzhou, and I can't handle political affairs, so I hand over all affairs to my subordinates, and cultivate with peace of mind, so I have some achievements!" Inside the carriage, Li Yuan's rather proud voice sounded.
Li Yao sighed: "Alas, yes, I only now understand how easy it was before, but now there are so many chores, and my hair is about to fall out." ”
"The imperial brother is the lord of the Dayu Dynasty, so naturally it is harder, and I am different!"
