Chapter VII: Accepting Disciples

At the end of the four-wheeled vehicle sat a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, dressed in a white shirt, neatly dressed, but his eyes showed an incomparably gloomy look. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Okay, why are you here?" Old Princess Xia hurriedly got up from her seat and hurried up to greet her. Everyone in the room also got up. Xuan Si and I hurriedly stood up.

The scholar on the four-wheeled bicycle clasped Princess Xia's hands and said, "Mother! When the child heard that the Duke of En, who rescued his father yesterday, had arrived at the mansion, how could he not come to thank him?" As he spoke, he took the handle of the four-wheeled bicycle from the servant and personally pushed it towards me and Xuansi. "Come on, take you to meet Engong for my mother. ”

Looking at this scene, how can it not make people feel a little sad? Xuansi and I are both busy greeting us.

Princess Xia stopped the four-wheeled bicycle and said to me and Xuan Si: "Little Li Xing, come and thank the two benefactors!" Li Xing hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Li Xing has asked the two benefactors to say goodbye! Thank you for saving my father Wang Daen! Li Xing is seriously ill and can't get up and bow down to the two benefactors, please forgive me!"

Xuan Si and I hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Little prince doesn't have to be polite!" After a polite moment, everyone sat down again, and Princess Xia also pushed Li Xing to her side to accompany her.

Between the guests and the hosts, they also talked very happily, and asked me about the origin of Xuan Si, which was naturally perfunctory, and said that the elders in the family did not want the juniors to reveal more, and everyone said that they must be masters outside the world, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and not wanting to provoke the rights and wrongs of the red dust, and they couldn't help but sigh. When it was said that Li Hu, the prince of Zhenbei, was seriously injured, everyone was very indignant.

It turned out that Li Hu, the prince of the north of the town, was the uncle of the four emperors of today's sainthood, the brother of the first emperor's mother and compatriots, and he had a deep brotherly relationship with the first emperor. When the emperor ascended the throne, it was also thanks to Li Hu's great help. This Li Hu has been skilled in arching and horses since he was a child, and he is good at reading poetry and books, and he can be able to write and martial arts, and at the age of fifteen, he can fight on the battlefield with the army, and he is brave, and he has killed the Huns several times and returned defeated. The first emperor was grateful for the brotherhood and made great contributions to the country, so he broke the rule that the ancestral prince was not allowed to be in Beijing, and personally named Li Hu as the king of Zhenbei and gave the palace in the capital.

In the severe winter of last year, heavy snow fell in the north, and the Xiongnu suffered a serious snowstorm, and the people were in dire straits. As soon as spring begins, he will send an army of 400,000 to burn and loot all the way. Li Hu personally commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, Chen soldiers in the northern frontier, and repelled the Xiongnu army several times. The two sides fought for several months, and when they saw that the harsh winter had arrived, they withdrew their troops. Today, I am grateful for the bitter cold in the north, and I will send a holy decree to invite the prince of Zhenbei to return to Beijing for the winter. The prince of Zhenbei was worried that the Xiongnu would go and return, so he left the army and continued to guard the northern frontier, and he took his personal guards and small teams of personal soldiers to return to Beijing.

But I don't know where the Huns got the news, and sent a large number of masters to chase and intercept along the road, wanting to kill Li Hu. Li Hu was also ambushed on the way and was seriously injured. Li Hu and his entourage rushed all the way to kill, changed their itinerary several times, and the team's own soldiers were slaughtered. Fortunately, Chang Bin and the other four guards did not care about life and death, and Lan Yun, the commander of the palace guards, rushed to the rescue, so they rescued Li Hu from the encirclement. Yesterday in the suburbs of Beijing, he was intercepted by the desert flying eagle, and when he was in danger, he happened to meet me and Xuansi, and he was rescued.

Speaking of which, everyone naturally couldn't help but thank them again.

Seeing that it was getting late and the hour was about to pass, a servant came to report that the banquet had been prepared and invited everyone to take the table. Li Xingtui said that he was a little stuck, so he was pushed away by the servants.

During the banquet, Princess Xia personally accompanied her, and even ordered everyone not to be formal. This old princess Xia was born in a family of military generals, but she did not lose her martial spirit, and she loved me and Xuansi very much, and it can be seen that it is not just to thank me and Xuansi. Lan Yun, Chang Bin and other five people also accompanied each other at the same table, and the banquet was also very harmonious.

During the banquet, Li Xing naturally talked about it, and Princess Xia Lao's eyes were even more red, and Xuan Si and I naturally persuaded her many times.

It turned out that Li Hu had two sons and a daughter under his knees, and the daughter married far away from Yunnan. As Li Hu's eldest son, Li Xing has been a father since he was a child, and he followed Li Hu on the expedition when he was a teenager, and soon became the vanguard officer of Li Hu's army, which can be described as a hundred battles.

Twenty years ago, Li Hu's army went on an expedition against the Huns, and Li Xing led the vanguard into the desert and was ambushed by the Huns. Li Hu personally led a large army to the rescue, but was blocked by the Hun army on the way. Although Li Xing was rescued, Li Xing was seriously injured and unconscious. Li Xing was sent back to the capital and invited famous doctors from all over the world to save his life, but he could only lie in bed for a long time from then on.

However, Li Hu's second son, Li Sheng, did not like luxury since he was a child, and longed for the rivers and lakes, and at the age of fifteen, he had a big quarrel with Li Hu, ran away from home, and has not returned. Li Hu sent people to search everywhere, but there was still no news.

The old princess is also strong. Especially Xuan Si, who actually held Princess Xia's arm from time to time, and the two whispered, making the hall full of Princess Xia's laughter. Looking at Xuan Si's childlike posture, I was really stunned and very bored.

After I was full of wine and food, I saw that the night was getting deeper, and I got up and was about to say goodbye to Xuan Si, but I was stopped by Princess Xia: "Don't leave, just stay here." Chang Bin laughed even more and said, "Little Fourth Miss, Little Seventh Brother, the old princess has already ordered someone to go to the inn to bring your luggage and horses to the palace, and even pack up the place to live." You can't go now if you want to. After saying that, he laughed even more.

Princess Xia took over the conversation and said, "That's it, how can there be a reason to stay in an inn when you arrive in the capital, but you will lose the face of my Zhenbei Palace." "I clearly saw a hint of cunning flashing in the old princess's eyes, and she looked like she had succeeded in her treacherous scheme。。。。。。

Xuan Si and I had to pretend to be reluctant and agreed. The old princess instructed Chang Bin to take me and Xuansi to rest, and told me to take care of it, and if there is any need, just tell the housekeeper.

Chang Bin took me and Xuan Si all the way. This palace covers a large area, pavilions and pavilions are everywhere, this way, but see not too many lights, asked Chang Bin, only to know that Li Xing has not yet married, Li Sheng ran away from home soon after, the county lord is married to Yunnan, although every two or three years will come to visit relatives, but always lonely. Li Hu was even more disheartened and ordered the dismissal of most of the servants and palace guards. Now there are only about 20 people in this huge palace.

Speaking of this, Chang Bin, who seemed to be bold, couldn't help but have red eyes, and I hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and gave him a comforting look.

Chang Bin looked at me and Xuan Si, and said with some emotion: "Miss Xiaosi, Brother Xiaoqi, I'm very happy that you can come today." You have all seen how happy the old princess is to see you, just like she is to see her own child. In the past few years, only when the county lord brought the little lady and the little young master to visit relatives, the villain could see the old princess so happy. Chang Bin is here to beg the two of you to stay in the palace for a while longer! Or wait until the county lord returns, there was news a few days ago, and the county lord should be almost home. ”

I saw that Chang Bin looked a little lonely, and while I was moved, I couldn't help but feel deeply. Remembering that he had grown up in the valley since he was a child, and he didn't know who his parents were, his eyes suddenly turned a little red. turned her head to look at Xuan Si, and clearly saw Ying Ying tears in her eyes.

I used to think that Xuan Si was a person who had no emotional interest at all, but this day, I met a completely different her.

Xuan Si and I agreed to Chang Bin, and Chang Bin became happy in a blink of an eye, laughing from time to time, and the atmosphere suddenly became less dignified.

Chang Bin took us to a corner of the garden, where there were three or four double-storey pavilions, but they were the residences of the two little princes and the county lord in the palace. Chang Bin pointed to a lit pavilion not far away and told me that it was Li Xing's residence.

I was very curious about how I and Xuansi were arranged to the master's residence, Chang Bin told me that it was specially arranged by the old princess, probably because she wanted us to be neighbors with the little prince Li Xing, and it could also be lively, so that I and Xuansi could live with peace of mind.

I think Chang Bin should be eight or nine years old, whose parents don't want to see the smiles of their children? This Li Xing has been alone for a long time, and he is not very willing to see the living, I think that the old princess should not hate me and Xuan Si when she sees that he can accompany him for more than an hour today. Thinking of this, I can't help but smile bitterly: Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
