Chapter 497 Hunting
"I said when will your people arrive? I don't have the time to be your guard here." Zhang Zhongjian said.

"I was going to introduce you to Feng An during the banquet. If you don't want to pretend to be my guard, blame me?" Lin Xuan said angrily.

Zhang Zhongjian said: "The old man and Feng An can be regarded as neighbors, it's better not to let him know about the old man."

"puff…"

Lin Xuanbeng couldn't help laughing, what the hell, there is a lot of trouble between you, can you still be called neighbors?

"Master, they should be here soon, wait a few more days." Lin Xuan said.

In order not to be delayed by the speed, Lin Xuan did not bring the people selected from Zhouzhuang and Cheng Chumo's family with him, but let them rush over by themselves.

Many of them don't know how to ride a horse, so their speed is naturally much slower.

"The old man will wait a few more days. When they arrive, the old man will take them out to sea." Zhang Zhongjian said.

……

Li Chengqian dragged his exhausted body back to the East Palace, ate some food casually, and was called for satisfaction.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wishing saluted.

Li Chengqian lay on the bed and said, "Gu is a little tired, please give Gu a press."

"Yes." Xin Xin walked up and helped Li Chengqian to press it up.

Although Xinxin's hand strength is not as good as that of a normal man, it is not much stronger than that of a woman. In addition to receiving professional training, her massage skills are very superb.

It made Li Chengqian's frown relax a lot.

"His Royal Highness is distinguished, so you need to pay more attention to your body." Dean Xin said with concern.

Li Chengqian said: "I've been busy building roads for a while, so I'm really tired, just wait until the time is over."

Although road construction has not officially started yet, there are many preparations in various aspects.

Various materials, personnel, etc. need to be busy.

Moreover, this road construction started at many places at the same time, so there were more things to do.

All these things are fine, Li Tai is the one who annoys Li Chengqian the most.

Since Li Tai was appointed as the deputy director by Li Shimin, he has been diligent every day.

It's like he's in charge.

But all these are appearances, Li Tai just puts on a show every day, but does nothing.

Li Tai didn't bother him, so he was quite happy at first.

But when I think about it later, when Li Tai makes great achievements in road construction, Li Tai can also share it, and Li Chengqian feels as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

He worked hard, but Li Tai didn't have to do anything, and he and Li Tai didn't have a good relationship, so he was naturally upset.

"Your Highness, I have recently heard a rumor." Yi Xin said in a low voice.

"tell me the story."

"My maidservant heard that His Majesty intends to appoint King Wei as the crown prince, so that's why he let King Wei participate in the road construction." said Xin Xin.

Li Chengqian's body froze, and soon he relaxed, and said flatly: "This is all rumored by people with evil intentions. It's just building a road. What does it have to do with changing the crown prince?"

"Your Highness, building roads may seem like a trivial matter, but it is very convenient for the people of the world. In addition, this time the court is hiring people, not conscripting corvees, and the person in charge will gain a lot of fame. The crown prince is the prince of the country. This matter is very normal, King Wei is just a prince, why does His Majesty want King Wei to participate?" said Xin Xin.

Li Chengqian's face was gloomy, how could he not have thought about this.

"Shut up, talk nonsense." Li Chengqian scolded.

Yixin knelt down with a plop: "Your Highness, the slaves and servants are all thinking about His Highness. The crown prince Yang Yong of the Sui Dynasty and the Crown Prince Yin were both crowned princes by the eldest sons. What will be the final result? The crown prince must be on guard." .” said Xinxin.

"Shut up!" Li Chengqian scolded with a livid face.

It's normal for someone to covet the crown prince's position. Li Chengqian is talented and intelligent, and he has a good teacher to teach him. How can he not understand this?

Why does Li Tai make him mess up?

It is because the lessons learned by Yang Yong and Li Jiancheng are right in front of us.

He didn't sympathize with Li Jiancheng. After all, Li Shimin didn't rebel, and he couldn't be the prince.

But he didn't want to end up like Yang Yong and Li Jiancheng.

It can be said that the words of satisfaction reached his heart.

"Your Highness, Xin Xin said that these are all for His Highness's sake, without the slightest selfishness." Yi Xin said.

"Okay, you go down." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said.

"Prince..."

"Don't you understand what Gu said?" Li Chengqian said with a gloomy face.

"Yes." Wishing saluted, she backed out.

Li Chengqian's face was cloudy and uncertain, thinking about what Xin Xin said.

Li Tai has always been favored by Li Shimin more than him, which puts a lot of pressure on him.

Suddenly, Li Chengqian remembered what Li Shimin had said to him some time ago.

Afterwards, he also thought carefully about what Li Shimin said.

As Li Shimin said, from the height of history, one can know who is loyal and who is traitor.

But for the emperor at that time, the so-called treacherous ministers were loyal ministers in their eyes.

Because those people know how to cater to them better.

What they say and do is more in line with their ideas.

And by saying this to him, is it also to cater to him and win his trust?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian became alert to Xin Xin.

……

Early the next morning, Feng An sent someone to report, inviting Lin Xuan to go hunting in the afternoon.

Without thinking about it, Lin Xuan agreed.

There is a lack of recreational activities at this time. Apart from visiting brothels, gambling houses, Cuju, playing polo, and outings, what else is there to do?
And it's not appropriate to invite him to a gambling house or a brothel in Feng An's capacity.

However, Lingnan is mountainous and has plenty of prey. Hunting is undoubtedly the best pastime.

During winter hunting, he didn't want to hunt because the weather was cold, but the weather in Lingnan wasn't cold, so it was good to go and have fun.

After lunch, Lin Xuan changed into a new outfit and was ready to go.

Liu Da and the others had been notified a long time ago that everything was ready.

What surprised Lin Xuan was that he saw Guo Caiyue in the crowd.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xuan said with a headache.

Guo Caiyue said: "I am a guest of the Lin family. Master Hou is away, so I naturally want to accompany him to protect him."

"Mr. Geng invited me to go hunting. He will be responsible for the safety. I will also bring some soldiers with me. There will be no danger. The weather in south of the Five Ridges is hot. Wouldn't it be good for you to stay at the house?" Lin Xuan said.

Guo Caiyue shook her head and said, "What if it's Duke Geng who attacks Lord Hou? I'd better follow Lord Hou to protect Lord Hou."

Lin Xuan said helplessly: "As long as Geng Guogong is not crazy, he will not do anything to me. Besides, my martial arts are not bad, and I have a lion. Even if I am in danger and I want to run, no one can keep me. "

He is a big man, how can he let a woman protect him.

It has to be said that Lin Xuan is still somewhat machismo.

Guo Caiyue looked at Lin Xuan and did not speak, but her eyes were firm, as if she was telling Lin Xuan, if you don't let me go, I will follow.

"Yes, you are not afraid of hardships, just follow along." Lin Xuan said helplessly.

Lin Xuan was riding a horse, followed by Liu Da and others and a hundred soldiers. Zhang Zhongjian did not come, but stayed at the mansion with the remaining two hundred soldiers.

A group of people walked out of the city in a mighty manner, and saw Feng An was already waiting there with several sons and hundreds of soldiers.

Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I kept the old man waiting for a long time."

Feng An smiled and said: "The old man came early, Lingnan is barren, there is nothing interesting, there is only some prey in the mountains and forests, so I invited Zichu to hunt for entertainment."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
