Chapter 45 This is Hezhou

It took Li Yi a full half a month to recover enough to bear the long journey.The two lords set off north again with their respective manpower. A luxurious and comfortable eight-horse carriage carried the two noble lords, and a mighty group of riding guards accompanied the surroundings. Shen Ji's small carriage still followed quietly. It's at the back, far away from the big carriage in front, and it doesn't show the mountains or the water.

On the third day after departure, the first snow of winter fell in the northern sky. Everyone felt that it was more difficult and troublesome to travel—except for Shen Ji, because this was the first time he saw snow. After waking up, he walked out of the inn to boarding the carriage, and the whole day along the way, he sat outside the carriage, admiring the white snow that was flying all over the sky, and even scraped off the thin layer of snow that fell outside the carriage to form a ball. I made a fist-sized snowball, I can't put it down!

"Brother Shen, you haven't seen snow yet, right? When it's the middle of winter, the heavy snow in the north can crush the house, and then you won't be able to like it!" He is thicker than Zuo Zhen, making the people around him bow down. At this time, he is riding in the back wing of the team as guards, and happens to be side by side with Shen Ji's carriage, and he can chat with Shen Ji from time to time.

Wu You was also at the end of the team. Since the last time he had an extremely unpleasant quarrel with Sun Zhihai, he has been silent a lot. It is quite different from his previous lively and smiling appearance. Shen Ji thought he was uncomfortable and invited him into the carriage several times to rest. But he refused.

"Sixth brother, can this snowflake really collapse the house? That's too scary, it would be bad if someone is in the house." Now it's Shen Ji who often provokes Wu You. , he didn't want to see Sixth Brother's dull look.

Although Wu You didn't say a word, he knew everything around him well. It was the first time he went out for a long time and suffered a disadvantage. He also had a rare memory and matured.It was Shen Ji who asked him at this time, and he had to tilt his head to respond: "Sixth brother has never seen this scene, but I heard the old man in the mansion mention that if it is a bungalow or thatched wooden house, it will be destroyed if it is not cleared in time. will be crushed."

"Look, I'm not mistaken, even Xiao Liu said that, when the time comes, little brother Shen must be more vigilant when he sleeps at night hahahahaha!" Hey, today I finally got this guy to say a word!Sun Zhihai didn't know why, but always wanted to say a few more words to Wu You, even if Wu You scolded him angrily, it would be better than treating him like nothing.

Shen Ji asked suspiciously: "That winter is so tiring. You have to be so vigilant every day and you won't be able to rest well. Why don't you take turns watching when it snows heavily? It will save you worry." Pity this child who has never traveled far. , To be skeptical of such absurd remarks!

Wu You gave Sun Zhihai a hard look, and taught Shen Ji angrily: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Brother Six has never encountered such a thing when he grows up, and generally better houses can survive ordinary snowstorms. Others say Believe whatever you want, you are not stupid!"

"Hey hey, I'm just curious, sixth brother... come up, I really have something to tell you!" Shen Ji asked his sixth brother to get on the carriage for the first time since he set off. , with a hippie smile on his face, like a hob meat, lingering on people.

Sighing, Wu You finally reined in the horse, tied the reins to the side of the carriage, and stepped over a guard who was driving the carriage into the carriage—Jiang Feng's veterans were all arranged to take the lead, explaining to a few Just follow behind.

"Hey, I'm coming up now, you better make it clear, boy, what's the matter with calling me up all the way!" Sitting next to Shen Ji, Wu You pointed at his nose and threatened him viciously.

Shen Ji was not afraid at all, and took out a few pieces of lotus seed white sugar cake wrapped in cotton cloth from the closet like a treasure, and handed it to Wu You: "I saw that you didn't eat much in the morning, and the cold has not recovered, so you probably have no appetite. , Well, this is delicious and not greasy, brother six, eat it quickly!"

"Hey, you have a conscience, Sixth Brother didn't love you for nothing." Wu You has been on the road one after another since he was ill these few days. It is true that his appetite is not as big as before. At this time, the fragrant and easy-to-digest rice cake is still quite full. dessert.

After eating, Wu You wanted to go down to ride a horse, but Shen Ji looked at his haggard look with dark circles under his eyes, and kept holding on to him, saying that he wanted to ask a few things about Hezhou City, and asking him about his brother Mu Dong , In the end, I simply said that it’s snowing and it’s cold, so let’s keep warm!

In fact, Wu You was particularly fond of Shen Ji's reliance and playing rogue, which satisfied his mood as a little brother. In the end, the two of them lay side by side on the mattress covered with a blanket, and after biting their ears for a long time, they really fell asleep next to each other. up.

Sun Zhihai glanced at the wooden window of the carriage from time to time, but the window was open a small crack, and when he put his ears up to concentrate, he could only hear Shen Ji's low laughter from time to time, and Wu You didn't move at all. No, it made him angry and disappointed.

Anzhou is not far from Hezhou. After five days, a group of people appeared at the gate of the thick, simple and tall Hezhou city. On a snowy and cat-winter day, there were people standing at the gate. Officials at all levels in the city only need to line up All the worthy ones came, dressed in the most formal attire, and greeted the two princes respectfully.

And Jiang Feng had already told Shen Ji the night before about the real identities of Li Yi and Li Xiao. He thought he would turn pale with shock, but unexpectedly Shen Ji accepted it calmly, which surprised Jiang Feng himself. .

In fact, regarding the identities of Li Yi and his elder brother, Shen Ji has never stopped speculating from the very beginning, no matter how outrageous or absurd, they have guessed. Now, it turns out that they are the prince, the fourth brother and the seventh brother of today. A son, a very noble and very rich man—he finally came to a conclusion, he can finally rest, and he doesn't need to think about it.

The magistrate of Hezhou followed behind the old general Sun Zhongtao with a humble smile on his face, and knelt down in front of the prince's carriage to receive the driver. Zheng Mingce's name is self-clearing, a native of Hezhou, except for going to Kyoto in high school more than 20 years ago, he has been working in the bitter cold area of ​​Saibei, and he has always been a good hand in front of Li Yi. Now he is fine, and here comes another prince The very hot fourth prince, Prince Qing, made him so happy that he didn't know what to do...

After staying at the gate of the city for a while, the carriage did not go to the Four Seas Tower that he had booked to receive the wind banquet as the prefect Zheng had expected, but went to the General's Mansion—forget it, if the mountain does not come, I will, then I will go to the mountain!A few quick-thinking officials went to the general's mansion with the cheek to go. General Sun couldn't drive them away anyway.

Jiang Feng hastily told Wu You to send the person to the inn opened by his family first, and wait for him to settle the prince and come back to talk about the rest.Wu You sent the man to the Yong'an Inn according to his words, and left after explaining a few words to the steward. After all, he had to rush back. This was going to the general's mansion. If he was caught by the strict old general for not being serious on duty, then he would definitely to be punished.

At this time, Shen Ji's thoughts were all on meeting Mu Dong as soon as possible. The inn steward enthusiastically arranged a first-class guest room for him, and said politely if he needed anything else. Feel free to ask. After Shen Ji thanked him He closed the door and quietly began to plan to pack his luggage.He planned to stay in this inn for two days before leaving. Since he decided to stay here for a few years, he had to contact his brother as soon as possible to see what he meant, whether to rent a small yard, or something more convenient and cost-effective.

In the general's mansion, a few tables were busily set up for a welcome feast, and the cold and serious atmosphere resumed in the afternoon. Sun Zhongtao, with his beard and hair all white, had inevitably aged, but he was very clear-headed: Facing this sudden arrival Lord Qing, this person's enthusiasm for courtship couldn't be more obvious, but the old man has plans for his own grandson after all!

In the heavily guarded study room of the General’s Mansion, Sun Zhongtao sat majesticly at the top, and at the bottom was his grandson Li Yi, who he had taken over from Kyoto and taught him for nearly ten years. What an errand, the emperor asked you to go by name, and now he brought the seventh prince over, I don't know what it means! What does the prince think?"

Since Li Yi got the title five years ago, the old general ordered the generals to change their words immediately, and must follow the rules of etiquette, not to neglect Li Yi just because it is far away from the capital, and damage his royal majesty. In private, he will never call back the old name - Li Yi with the word Mingduan.

Li Yi respects this grandfather very much. If it weren't for him, he might not know if he would have survived in the capital until now, let alone gaining the king's reward for his military exploits. His psoas muscles torn due to wounds have not grown Alright, I can only lean on the cushion and reply crookedly, "General, brother Sihuang admitted frankly that various forces in the DPRK and China were involved in the overthrow. ... Well, even if he is a brother, he can't tell Ming Duanming."

——Sun Zhongtao has been a soldier all his life, and he has acted vigorously and toughly. Since he has decided to call Li Yi the prince, he will not allow Li Yi to call himself grandfather again, and solemnly asks others to call him general!

"My lord must never let go of the old brotherhood. Since ancient times, the royal family has no siblings. The lord has long stated that he has no intentions for that person. I dare not persecute him. However, my lord must cheer up and don't teach those people to plot. The old man is getting old, and I am afraid that he will take a step ahead at any time and not take good care of him!" Sun Zhongtao couldn't help his eyes flushed when he was excited, and he was extremely displeased to see someone reaching out to Hezhou. He had already done a good job for Li Yi. He made a plan: remain neutral, only support the emperor, never return to the capital, and guard the country for the country of Qi!

"Don't worry, general, Mingduan will deal with it carefully. It is expected that the fourth brother is also very anxious and will not stay in Hezhou for a long time. He will definitely try his best to return to the capital as soon as possible. That is where his power lies."

"..." The grandfather and grandson discussed for a long time before they came out of the study. The old general originally wanted to punish Zhou Bo and the others—their guards came back safely, but the prince was injured. What is this like?Li Yi hurriedly found a reason to stop him. After all, if his grandfather really pursued him, his guards would at most be punished, but Shen Ji and his elder brother Mu Dong would have to suffer.

"The prince has grown up and has his own attention. The old man doesn't mean to interfere, but the person who follows closely must be rewarded and punished clearly, and he must not be soft-hearted. Any indulgence can lead to great things!"

Li Yi quickly responded, "The general is right, Ming Duan has written it down." After respectfully sending the old man back to his room to rest, he turned around and walked into his own yard, waving his hand to reject the hand that the servant wanted to help, and walked slowly sideways while clutching his wound , when passing through the garden in the atrium, several beauties who had been waiting for a long time came up with charming smiles and exquisite makeup.

"My concubine greets the lord, and the lord is a thousand years old." This gentle and dignified voice is the leading woman. Xiao Lan, who Li Yi brought over from the capital, has followed him for many years and is the only one who has shown a serious face among the women who serve him. concubine.

"My concubine pays my respects to the lord, the lord is a thousand years old!" The next three are the beauties that Li Yi took into the room for several years after he arrived in Hezhou, during banquets or social gatherings.One of them is the distant cousin of his concubine, surnamed Duan Gui, named Shu Hui. This woman was determined to follow Li Yi, and after many beggings, she finally got her wish. Because of her youth, beauty and vivacious temperament in two years, Quite favored.

Li Yi accepted the gift lightly, and waved them to get up. Xiao Lan and Duan Shuhui cleverly squeezed away the young men around Li Yi, and supported Li Yi from left to right to go forward. The remaining beauties twisted bitterly Wearing handkerchiefs and following closely, all the women expressed their condolences and distress to Prince Duan. He didn't push away to talk, and let them go back and forth between each other. In the end, he said that he was tired, and asked the beauties to go back first, and then summoned them again when they had a chance.

After dismissing these women, the young man next to him cleverly came up to help Li Yi back to the room quickly. Those of them who are used to errands all understood that the prince might be a little annoyed at this time.

Sitting in his own room, looking at the table full of delicate dishes, Li Yi had no appetite at all, and asked people to withdraw after taking a few mouthfuls—that kid Shen Ji slipped away really fast, and sure enough, Just drop in?When I got there, I ran away until I couldn't see anyone, and there were no rules at all...
