Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Annan and the Central Plains have always had close contacts, so people in Annan basically know Chinese, but this is only a basic knowledge, and it cannot be said that they are proficient.
After being scolded by Jiang Xia, it took more than ten seconds for Li Zhiba, the king of Guannan, to realize that he had been scolded, he looked at Jiang Xia and grinned: "Okay, you little thing, you dare to scold this king?"
"How can you be sure that I must be scolding you? Could it be that what I just said is very much in line with you?" Jiang Xia sneered.
Li Zhengba laughed, he nodded and said: "Okay, you little thing is quite interesting, you are the first person who dares to scold this king in front of him after living for half his life." Aren't you afraid that this king will kill you?"
"Wouldn't I let me go if I didn't scold you?" Jiang Xia asked rhetorically.
"Hahahaha interesting, really interesting, this king has a little like you, I've never seen such an interesting little guy. ”
Jiang Xia looked at Li Zhiba vigilantly, his word "like" can be appreciation, or it can be the death glass coveting his "beauty".
"I won't talk to you, this king still has business to do. ”
Saying that, Li Zhiba looked at Li Ruliu, and said with a smile: "How about the princess, this king personally came to invite you to follow this king and go to this king's mansion to stay for a few days." ”
"What if I say I won't go?" asked Li Ruliu with a slight smile.
Li Zhengba smiled and shrugged his shoulders slightly: "Then you are living up to Uncle Wang's good intentions and making Uncle Wang sad."
"So I didn't have a choice in the first place, so why do you ask me if I don't have a choice?"
As soon as Li Ruliu's words fell, Jiang Xia's eyes suddenly lit up.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard from the south again, and this time the momentum seemed to be greater than the previous one when Li Zhiba led the cavalry to surround him. Li Zhiba frowned slightly, turned his head to look south, and saw that the dust was rolling in the south, and it was obvious that a large number of cavalry were rushing towards this side.
Although Jiang Xia didn't know who the person was or whether he was friend or foe, he was still happy, and there was more mixing of forces, which meant that the water in this pool was even more muddy, and the more muddy the water, the easier it was for him to find a chance to get out safely.
The cavalry came quickly, and after a while, Jiang Xia had already seen the vanguard of the cavalry.
This cavalry was well-equipped, and the formation remained neat when running, which showed that it was a well-trained and elite soldier.
Li Zhiba's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect this kid Li Tianyou to come very quickly." ”
Carefree King Li Tianyou?
Jiang Xia's heart moved slightly, this person Li Ruliu had told him emphatically. He is the younger brother of the current king, who is also her own uncle. Among the three kings and one duke, he is the only one who is loyal to the king and supports Li Ruliu.
Although Pei Xianlin, the Duke of Annan, is also Li Ruliu's maternal uncle nominally, in fact, Li Ruliu is not the queen's biological son.
The queen was barren and therefore had no children. And she is jealous, and most of the princes and princesses born to the palace concubines die unexpectedly. Only Li Ruliu was lucky, and she was loved by the king as soon as she was born, so she often accompanied the queen so that she couldn't start. However, Li Ruliu's mother eventually died for no reason.
Jiang Xia carefully distinguished, and finally saw a handsome but slightly sickly man in a white brocade robe among the cavalry.
According to Li Ruliu, it stands to reason that the king has no heirs, and Li Tianyou is the first heir to the throne, but because Li Tianyou was born weak and sickly, he cannot take the throne.
When Li Zhiba saw Li Tianyou, he immediately smiled and said: "Yo, what are you going to do, Brother Wang, you actually brought out all your Tianyou pro-army, isn't this your treasure? ”
"The weather is good, just take your men out hunting. Li Tianyou said.
"Poof" Jiang Xia couldn't hold back and laughed, this ice and snow can be regarded as good weather? It seems that this Xiaoyao King's ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open is not low.
Li Tianyou glanced at Jiang Xia, and questions flashed in his eyes.
Li Zhiba also laughed and said: "With eight thousand cavalry hunting in this ice and snow weather, Brother Wang really deserves to be the king of leisure, if there is really Yaxing, admire and admire."
"Isn't Brother Wang the same? In such weather, he is still running around with his army, could it be that Brother Wang knows that Her Royal Highness the princess has returned to China, so he specially came to greet and escort her to Thang Long Mansion?" asked Li Tianyou.
At this moment, Li Tianyou's 8,000 cavalry suddenly died in Li Zhiba's plan to forcibly keep Li Ruliu, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he could only nod and say: "Brother Wang is really smart, he guessed right at once." Hearing that the king was seriously ill, the king brought troops to meet the princess and prepare to escort her back to the palace. But now that you are here, Brother Wang, then the king can also retire and leave the princess to you to escort with peace of mind. ”
"Yes, the king of Guannan is indeed a warm-hearted person, and he must have guessed that some insidious and treacherous shameless sluts would be upset because the king was seriously ill. For example, he will come to intercept Her Royal Highness the princess and prevent her from returning to the palace to see the king, so the king of Guannan specially came to protect the princess, am I right?" Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Li Zhiba was suddenly speechless by Jiang Xia's words, he wanted to fire but couldn't come out, his face was flushed, and in the end, he could only grit his teeth and stare at the mouth and spit out a "right" word.
Where could Jiang Xia let him go like this, and then asked again: "In this way, King Guannan also agrees with what I said, anyone who wants to intercept the princess and prevent her from returning to the palace to see the king is a sinister and treacherous shameless slut, right?"
Li Zhiba regretted a lot in his heart, regretting why he didn't directly slash the hateful guy in front of him just now, he gritted his teeth, nodded again, and responded: "Yes!"
Jiang Xia smiled heartily, and read in his mouth: "Insidious and treacherous shameless villain, hahaha"
"Let's go!" Li shouted, turned his horse's head and left immediately.
When Li Zhiba and them walked away, Li Tianyou looked at Jiang Xia and asked, "I don't know who this one is?"
"Uncle Wang, he is my future colt, named Jiang Xia. ”
"Horses?" Li Tianyou glanced at Jiang Xia deeply, and then nodded. He asked the people beside him to allocate eleven fast horses to Li Ruliu and them, and then let Li Ruliu ride with him.
Jiang Xia followed next to Li Ruliu, and Li Tianyou asked Li Ruliu with a smile: "How's it?"
Li Ruliu nodded and said, "Daming Jingshi is indeed many times more prosperous than our Annan Shenglong Mansion, but I still think that Shenglong Mansion is better." ”
Li Tianyou smiled slightly, and then asked, "Did you encounter any danger in Daming this time?"
"Yes, I have encountered a lot of killers sent by Annan, including my guard commander Lisen is also a traitor. Before he died, he told me that the person who sent the killer to kill me was Uncle Guannan. ”
"Probably not. Li Tianyou shook his head. Hearing him say this, Jiang Xia's expression suddenly perked.
In his opinion, people are about to die, and their words are good, could it be that what Lisen said before he died was also a lie?
Li Ruliu looked at Li Tianyou and did not refute his words, but waited for his next explanation.
Li Tianyou said: "The person who sent the killer is right because it is Li Junren." ”
"Renxian King Li Junren?" Jiang Xia couldn't help but ask.
Li Tianyou glanced at Jiang Xia, and then looked at Li Ruliu. Obviously, Li Ruliu told Jiang Xia a lot about Annan, and it seems that Ruliu has a lot of trust in this Jiang Xia. Li Tianyou thought in his heart.
He nodded and said, "With the temperament of the King of Guannan, he would not do such a sneaky thing as sending a killer to intercept and kill, because he disdains to do so." Besides, I only found out later that Lisen was originally the son of the housekeeper of King Renxian's mansion. ”
"This so-called King Renxian is acting quite insidiously, not only sneakily sent a killer, but also tried to blame the King of Guannan for this matter, it seems that this person is not simple. Jiang Xia sighed.
Li Tianyou nodded and said, "It's not simple, to be precise, he should be one of the most powerful characters in our Three Kings One Kilometer." King Renxian is known for his name of benevolence, which has won the hearts of the people in China, and is also highly respected by the officials. Now that the king is seriously ill, he is actually the one who has the highest call for accession. ”
Li Ruliu sighed slightly, and said, "Which of the three kings and one duke is a simple person? The king of Guannan has a heavy army in his hands, and his connections in the army are extremely extensive. And King Renxian won the hearts of the people, and there were many henchmen among the hundreds of officials in the court. Coupled with the Duke of Annan, the four major surnames of Annan, Pei, Li, Chen, and Zhao, except for the surname Li, are all very supportive of him, and it is not simple. And Uncle Wang, if you weren't your body."
"Forget it, don't talk about this, whether it's King Guannan or King Renxian, you don't have to worry about Ruliu, with Uncle Wang here, I guarantee that the throne will not be taken away by outsiders. Now that your father is seriously ill, let's go and see him. Maybe he will be happy when he sees you, and maybe he will be cured. Li Tianyou said with a smile.
Li Ruliu nodded, and everyone pinched the horse's belly together to speed up.
In fact, the distance between Cirrus Pass and Thang Long Mansion is not far away, after all, the location of Thang Long Mansion is the Yamen of the Jiaozhi Political Secretary in the past Yongle period, in order to facilitate management, this Yamen is naturally close to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Jiang Xia and they had been on the road all night, but now they had been rushing for another whole day, and at dusk, Jiang Xia and they finally arrived at Thang Long Mansion.
Looking at the tall and thick city wall that had undergone several repairs, Jiang Xia secretly said in his heart: "Shenglong Mansion, I'm here." No matter what the previous history was like, Uncle Ben is destined to come to steal your drama. The First Queen of Annam must be born from my hands!"
Jiang Xia had just thought so in his heart, when a group of people suddenly came out of the gate of Shenglong Mansion.
At the forefront was a man dressed in a precious mink coat.
The man looked suave and bookish, and the attendant beside him held an umbrella for him to cover the small snowflakes that kept falling from the sky.
The man walked up to Li Ruliu and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the princess on her safe return from the Ming Dynasty." ”
