Southern Tang Jinling

Tianya and his party finally returned to the Jinling East Palace, although Li Hongji wanted to tell his father Li Jing the news as soon as possible, but they were too tired and sleepy. For the sake of safety along the way, Li Hongji did not disclose his identity at all, and no one even knew that they had returned to Jinling.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince!" The housekeeper Li Quan flew directly and knelt in front of Li Hongji, he couldn't say that he couldn't miss it for a long time, but Li Quanzhen didn't expect that the crown prince Li Hongji could return to Jinling alive, and look at his clothes...... I guess I suffered a lot.

"Get up, I haven't been so polite before, why do you kneel directly?" Li Hongji said depressedly.

"I heard that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to sea, the ship sank into the sea, and everyone thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been killed. According to the guards who escaped, everyone fell into the rough sea, and some people barely survived after being hit by the waves after falling unconscious. Because the ship sank suddenly, no one knew where His Highness went. ”

"That group of useless waste, Lao Tzu swam back to the shore by himself, and then went to Pingzhou to meet with the Taoist of Wuyazi, and then brought back the master of the king. As a guard, they didn't protect me, and they dared to spread rumors that I was dead...... Li Hongji said angrily: "Forget it, don't worry about this, prepare meals, and prepare two tables for the best banquet." ”

"Two tables?"

"Nonsense, so many people need to eat at least two tables to be enough, and they don't let you pay for it, go quickly. Li Hongji was also hungry, tired and hungry, so he directly ordered someone to prepare two tables of banquets.

Li Quan, the housekeeper of the East Palace, has long been used to it, anyway, His Royal Highness is going to eat and drink when he comes back, and he has nothing else to do. There was nothing wrong with eating as soon as you wanted, and the housekeeper quickly set about arranging it.

However, a housekeeper is a housekeeper, of course, he must do everything in his head, Li Quan also sent someone to the palace at the same time to inform His Majesty that the crown prince Li Hongji and Venerable White Lotus and his party have returned.

Li Quan did things quickly, first served cold dishes and hot wine to the group, and then slowly served hot dishes, so as not to make them wait too long.

Although Li Hongji and his party were hungry, it was impossible to eat some cold dishes and wine too quickly, so they drank a little hot wine to warm their stomachs first, and then slowly ate some side dishes to drink.

The housekeeper Li Quan took good care of it, and a large table of dishes was moved up unconsciously, and everyone ate regardless of the image, even Xiang'er didn't care if she was a lady or not, she was really hungry. Not to mention such a good table of dishes, even a steamed bun can be eaten very deliciously.

While eating, Li Hongji propped up his waist and burped very deeply, and then took a sip of wine.

"Hiccup~~~~~ really enjoyable, I wanted to eat a good meal when I was on the boat, but I was too anxious to eat, all the way from Haizhou to Jinling, nearly a month~ This is the first serious meal. Li Hongji said: "I never knew what hunger was and gluttony, because I had a lot of fish and meat every day, and I spent all day drinking. Now I know what it's like to be hungry, and it's a good feeling. ”

"What nonsense, hurry up and eat. "Venerable White Lotus, don't look old, his body and bones are really good, he has suffered a lot with Li Hongji along the way, but Venerable White Lotus has no signs of weakness at all, but is getting stronger and stronger.

"Give me some face, I'm also the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you are my guard, can you speak softly?"

"No, it won't. ”

Li Hongji was actually choked, propped up his waist and took a sip of wine to smooth the food down, not really wanting to sigh two sentences.

"Father, when did you come?"

Li Jing stood next to him for a long time, and the eyes of this group of people never raised...... As the emperor, Li Jing also felt embarrassed. However, I was satisfied to see Li Hongji come back alive, as for whether he completed the task or not, I can't expect him to grow up in an instant.

"It's been a while, you don't look up, and I don't want to disturb your meal. Looks like you're starving...... It's good to come back, it doesn't matter if there are any fortifications for the king, anyway, Shouzhou is indestructible, Chai Rong doesn't want to break it. ”

Li Hongji stretched out his hand to wipe the oil off his mouth, and then said, "What does the emperor mean by this? I have brought back the master of the prince, and you tell me that you don't need it now?"

"Brought back?"

"Yes, Wang Hui is still not polite. Li Hongji grabbed Wang Hui, at this time Wang Hui had a chicken leg in his left hand and a ball in his right hand, and there were still a lot of things in his mouth that had not been chewed, and he was about to swallow it.

"Hmm~~.................."

Li Jing nodded and said, "No courtesy, flat body." ”

"Thank you............ Uh-huh......"

"Eat first, and then talk about what you have eaten. Li Jing felt that he was the emperor in vain, and this group of people had discovered their existence, and instead of saluting, they made such a rude move.

If it's someone else, just drag it out and cut it. But the Boundless Sect Master and the Technician Master of the King Valve, these two people are very important to him. Although I was a little depressed, I could only swallow it in my stomach if I had gas.

But it seems that they also know that this time they have suffered a lot. Li Jing really didn't expect that Li Hongji would complete this task, and after the ship sank, he was penniless, he ran to Wang Valve and brought a mechanic master back.

Not to mention that the king has always sold goods, and has never sent people to other places to build fortifications, even if the king can agree to this matter, Li Hongji has no money. With the little money on Daoist Commander Wuyazi, it's okay to buy some weapons, but it's definitely impossible to rent a technician master of the royal valve.

Since he had no money, why did Wang Valve send a mechanic master to Shouzhou to build fortifications? It could not be that Wang Valve gave Li Hongji a face.

Wang Valve has always given no face to anyone, because his position is special, at most he gives Yeluzhen some face, and no matter how powerful others are, they can't help him.

What is the skill of this technician master? How did Li Hongji do it, and who is the girl next to Wu Yazi? There are too many questions to ask, but this group of foodies only has food in their eyes, and even the emperor can't make them stop.

Li Jing can still force this group of people to stop chopsticks, report everything first, and then eat it is not too late. But Li Jing didn't do this, because it only showed his royal face, and it didn't have any practical significance, but would make this group of hungry ghosts unhappy......

Li Jing has always been a character who is not in a hurry, just watching this group of hungry ghosts eat and see what they can eat.

This time Li Jing was an eye-opener, this group of hungry ghosts ate from noon to afternoon, and fell asleep at the dinner table while eating......

Li Jing looked at the performance of this group of people very embarrassed, and there was no follow-up after the performance...... Originally, Li Jing still wanted to know the process of the whole thing.

There was no way, Li Jing ordered someone to carry the group back to the room to rest, and Li Jing himself had been sitting on the edge of Li Hongji's bed. In fact, he was already very happy to see his son come back alive, although Li Hongji was a straw bag, Li Jing just liked him.

There is no such thing as father-son affection, no matter how stupid and stupid this child is, how can he be a father who likes it? Looking at Li Hongji is like seeing himself when he was young, in fact, Li Jing also knows very well that he was also a straw bag when he was young, and when he grows up, he is a little better, and he is a more useful straw bag.

Therefore, Li Jing prefers Li Hongji and Li Hongmao, even if he knows that these two children are unproductive, he really can't help it. Even if I know that Li Congjia is good in everything, I just don't like it very much, at least I don't like Li Hongji so much.

Watching Li Hongji's prodigal son turn around, Li Jing liked it even more. Li Jing didn't have such good luck to meet a life mentor like Daoist Wuyanzi back then, he relied on his own willpower to forcibly quit bad habits and forcibly let himself rise, because Li Jing knew very well that if he didn't rise himself, he would die a miserable death.

In order to survive, Li Jing must turn his straw bag into a talent, and then exterminate the other brothers, otherwise the other brothers will do the same to him.

This is the case with the struggle for imperial power, whoever is ruthless first to sever brotherhood has a higher chance of victory. And as a person in power, it is also one of the necessary practices to give up affection. A person in power who is too benevolent is not qualified to support the whole country.

Therefore, since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has occurred in every dynasty and generation, and even if the emperor knows that his sons are intriguing with each other, he will turn a blind eye and close one eye. Although the emperor will be heartbroken, he also hopes that the winner will inherit his country, not a loser.

Li Hongji slept for two hours and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Jing beside the bed with a frightened expression.

"Father, why are you here?Oh~ I'm back, I'm finally back......" Li Hongji turned over and got out of bed and knelt directly in front of Li Jing: "Erchen greets my father." ”

"No courtesy...... I'm not surprised, but you're surprised. I heard that the boat you were on encountered a storm and the whole hull sank to the bottom of the sea, and all the people on board were not spared, except for some lucky people who were hit by the waves to the shore. ”

"Yes, Father, there was indeed a little problem on the ship, and the wind and waves that day were too great to stop the sinking of the ship. Erchen also had no choice but to abandon the ship and escape. Fortunately, with Venerable White Lotus by our side, we swam all the way back to the shore and hiked to Pingzhou to meet the Wuyazi Dao Chief. ”

Li Jing said, "How long have you been gone?"

"More than half a month. ”

"The ship sank, and there was nothing of value on you, how did you get there? Even if you have this physical strength, what will you eat along the way?"

Li Hongji said embarrassedly: "As long as there are hands and mouths, how can there be living people who starve to death?" Erchen and Venerable White Lotus begged all the way to Pingzhou, and sometimes helped others do some farm work in exchange for a meal. If you really don't have anything to eat, go to the wild to hunt some game, and get some wild vegetables and wild fruits can also fill your stomach. ”

Li Jing's tears were about to flow out after hearing this, Li Hongji has been pampered since he was a child, how could he have suffered like this? But at this time, he should really be grateful to Wuyazi Daoist, because Wuyazi let Li Hongji try a begging life before this, otherwise, if he suddenly pulled down his son to beg, where could Li Hongji stand it?
