White Hedge Dream

Chapter 243 Entering the house

"It's too much to bully someone."

Cai Songnian looked at the invitation on the table and said bitterly.

"His Royal Highness just asked him to observe a moment of silence for the ship, but he immediately organized a banquet."

Li Yu laughed: "It's actually not bad."

Cai Songnian was stunned for a moment, what? Is His Highness confused? He looked aside and saw Li Yu leaning on the back of the chair. There was no anger at Li Chengyuan's house or grievance in front of Princess Jinyu on his face. He was indeed smiling.

"What, not bad?" Cai Songnian hesitated.

Is there no other way but to get married to the granddaughter of the Li family? Therefore, we can't just look at Li Chengyuan's abominations, but also single out his advantages...

Li Yu looked at the invitation on the table: "I like to bully people and act as soon as I say it, so that I don't have to waste my time."

Zhou Jingyun delivered the gift made by Bai Li as scheduled, and also conveyed Bai Li's words.

"Better let him have a feast, the more people the better."

So when he met Li Chengyuan, he deliberately offered a moment of silence. As expected, Li Chengyuan didn't listen to him, and even deliberately slapped him in the face and held a banquet to celebrate.

The gifts were delivered and the banquet was about to be held. It went smoothly, but Bai Li said that he didn't need to go there. After all, there was a festival, so as not to arouse suspicion.

This was actually the disaster he caused, but he avoided it at the critical moment.

He can't always hide behind Bai Li, she has done enough for him.

Li Yu sniffed gently, and there seemed to be still a scent left in the hall at this time.

The fragrance that killed Rijuro.

It is a unique aroma of Baili.

…

…

As night falls, there is a lot of traffic in front of the Li family's mansion.

This is one of the largest mansions in the capital. After all, it was Li Chengyuan's credit that he was able to attack the gate of the imperial city and block the troops from the capital camp outside the city.

There are so many people here today.

The news has spread that the Li family is going to marry the King of Chu. Even if Li Chengyuan dies in the future, the Li family will be relatives of the emperor. Of course, the King of Chu is not important. What is important is that there is Princess Jinyu behind the King of Chu.

Following the guidance of the servant, the carriage stopped in an open space, and Zhou Jingyun got out of the carriage.

The surroundings immediately attracted countless gazes.

"Prince Zhou is here."

"Perhaps he came to complain about the injustice of King Chu."

"Zhou Jingyun is now in every house, falling into the mortal world, and is very boring."

Zhou Jingyun didn't care about the comments around him and only looked back at Bai Li, who was following from the car and dressed as a maid.

"Your Majesty," the servant of the Li family next to him reminded, "Today's banquet is all male guests, and it is inconvenient to bring servants with us due to the large number of people."

He said and smiled secretly.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, our maids from the Li family will definitely make Your Majesty happy."

Zhou Jingyun didn't answer and looked at Bai Li: "Just wait in the car."

Bai Li knelt down and answered yes.

Zhou Jingyun asked again: "Have the things been put away?"

What? Li's servant couldn't help but look at the maid and saw that her hands were empty.

Bai Li naturally knew what Zhou Jingyun was asking, so he reached out and took out the small dagger from his belt: "Put it away."

This was chosen by Zhou Jingyun for her.

It's a small handful, with a thin sheath embellished with gems. It looks great tucked into the belt.

Zhou Jingyun smiled and nodded: "Okay, pay attention to self-defense."

Self-defense? What do you think of their Li family mansion? The servant of the Li family looked strange. When he looked at Zhou Jingyun, his eyes were still glued to the maid.

"Then I'll go in," he said.

Bai Li nodded and watched Zhou Jingyun turn around and then back again.

"Jiang Yun, stay safe." He said to Jiang Yun who was driving.

Jiang Yun responded yes.

Zhou Jingyun then continued to move forward.

The servants of the Li family breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at this maid. She looked ordinary. Why was it so hard for the Crown Prince to leave her?

Isn’t Zhou Shizi deeply in love with the King of Chu?

The maid seemed embarrassed by the sight, so she quickly got into the car and got in. The driver, named Jiang Yun, blocked their view with a warning look.

At this time, more guests came by car and horse, and the servants of the Li family quickly looked away and no longer paid attention to this maid.

Bai Li sat in the car, unfolded a roll of paper on his lap, and then turned on the incense burner on the side. White smoke curled up, swirling and spreading in the car. The whole person was covered with a layer of white gauze, and his vision changed. Gotta be blurry.

The surroundings seemed noisy and distant, the lights were shining in the night, and there were spots everywhere. Suddenly, there was light spreading in the distance. It was a lotus bud rising slowly, blooming slowly in the chaos.

Bai Li's eyes lit up and her vision became clear. She stepped up and stepped into a gorgeous hall.

Countless people were walking around, talking and laughing, making the place noisy.

Li Chengyuan sat on the large chair above.

"Give."

Four servants carried a box into the hall and put it down with a bang.

Everyone who was talking and laughing in the hall looked over curiously. As the servant opened it, they saw silk, satin, gold and jade jewelry, which were dazzling under the lamp.

"This is the gift sent by the King of Chu yesterday." Li Chengyuan said.

Someone in the hall joked: "Is this the king of Chu's apology to the general? I heard that he framed the general and destroyed his ship."

Li Chengyuan smiled lightly: "This kid is rude and talks nonsense. I won't argue with him, and I won't accept any apology from him. This is a gift from the princess."

"Is this the princess' apology?" someone asked.

Li Chengyuan laughed loudly: "How can I ask the princess to apologize to me? This is the princess's intention." He raised his hand to indicate, "I won't say what my intention is for today. After we have discussed and arranged a good date, I will ask everyone to show your respect." drink wine."

This was a clear statement, and people in the hall burst out laughing, winking at each other, and congratulating each other.

Li Chengyuan's eyes fell on the two most conspicuous people in the hall. It was not surprising that Zhou Jingyun came. If Zhou Jingyun wanted to stand up for the King of Chu, he must make him look good!

Another conspicuous person was Zhang Ze. When he heard that Zhang Ze was also here, he was a little surprised.

Zhang Ze would never come to support the King of Chu.

He had already heard that Zhang Ze was extremely wary of King Chu and thought he had a bad intention.

So they learned that the Li family was going to marry the King of Chu and come to cause trouble?

No matter how much trouble he makes, he is not afraid. After all, he had a grandson who died on King Chu's boat. King Chu should compensate him for a grandson. Well, in this way, his grandson's death is really good, and it can be regarded as paving the way for the Li family.

Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes and saw Zhang Ze staring at the gift box.

Is it to grasp the specifications of the gift?

King Chu was scolded by Princess Jinyu for pretending to give gifts, but what he gave was nothing good.

"Zhongcheng, do you like any of them?" Li Chengyuan asked, and then added, "Put them all on for Zhongcheng."

Zhang Ze felt inexplicably that something was shaking in the box, but when he looked carefully he didn't see it. It might be the light and shadow of jewelry.

He looked away from the box: "The princess gave it to the general, so I won't take away your love."

Li Chengyuan laughed: "Then I will choose some gifts for Zhong Cheng." After saying this, he waved his hand.

The servants covered the box and carried it behind the screen. Li Chengyuan stroked his palms: "Come, come, come, today, tomorrow, and the next day, there will be happy events for my Li family. Please join in the joy."

With palm caressing, more than a dozen beautiful maids, dressed in Hu costumes and holding wine bottles, swayed in. For a moment, the aroma in the hall became stronger and the sounds of warblers and swallows were heard.

Li Chengyuan is also surrounded by two beautiful maids.

But Zhou Jingyun and Zhang Ze are still conspicuous.

Zhou Jingyun sat alone, allowing only his beautiful maid to pour wine.

"Prince Zhou, I was not fully prepared this time." Li Chengyuan laughed and took a sip of the wine fed by the beautiful maid, "Next time you come again, you will be accompanied by a beautiful servant."

There was a low laugh throughout the table.

Everyone was talking privately, or asking Zhou Jingyun vaguely, but Li Chengyuan actually said it so nakedly...

Zhou Jingyun raised his wine glass and said to Li Chengyuan: "Okay, I hope the general will live long so that I can have a chance to eat at the general's table."

The low laughter disappeared during the dinner.

The prince Zhou who had fallen into the mortal world was now extremely rude in his words and showed no grace at all.

Li Chengyuan sneered: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my family's table will be indispensable without you."

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Jingyun. The banquet had just begun and he hadn't even finished the fun yet. He didn't give him a chance to ruin the feast!

He looked at Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze didn't have any preference, but he was surrounded by his own guards and no one was allowed to get close. Even the food and wine were only served after someone tried them.

"Zhang Ze." Li Chengyuan called him by his first name and said with a smile, "What fun are you having in your life? If you had known today, would you have regretted joining us in the uprising? So you continue to be your little Qianniu guard, Qing Quiet and quiet.”

Zhang Ze looked at him: "When the general commits a crime, you will know my pleasure."

The two people who came today are really unlucky! Li Chengyuan's face was gloomy. The beautiful maid next to him came to feed him vegetables. He didn't know if the aroma was too strong. He became angry and raised his hand to slap the beautiful maid.

"It's worthless," he cursed.

The maidservant was beaten until she fell to the ground, bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and started crying.

"General, don't be angry." Zhang Ze said, raising his glass with a smile, "You are getting older, so you should pay attention to your health."

Li Chengyuan looked at him and sneered: "You should still care about yourself, lest you don't live to my age."

While he was talking, the beautiful maid next to him was still crying, buzzing around her like a mosquito.

"Don't cry!" He turned around and shouted, "Bad luck!"

The beautiful maid sat on the ground and hurriedly wiped her tears with her hands. She pulled half of her face off with two or three blows, but she didn't stop yet. She raised her hand and tore off the other half of her face with force. She raised her head and saw the flesh and blood. The blurry face looked at Li Chengyuan.

"General." She said with a joyful voice, "I won't cry anymore."

ghost!

Li Chengyuan's heart skipped a beat and he stood up suddenly.

"General? What's wrong?"

a voice asked.

Li Chengyuan's heartbeat resumed. His heartbeat was too fast, his ears were buzzing, and he looked at the ground beside him.

There was no betrayed maid on the ground, only the shadows cast by the flickering lights.

own shadow.

Are you dazzled?

What is he doing?

Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment.

"What?" A voice asked again, with a slight sneer, "The general is afraid?"

Afraid.

Li Chengyuan looked in front of him and saw Zhang Ze sitting opposite.

Zhang Ze, yes, he is talking to Zhang Ze.

Li Chengyuan's suppressed anger surged to the surface.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I be afraid of you?" he shouted.

Zhang Ze raised his eyes and looked at him: "I'm not threatening the general, I'm just giving him a warning. Even a small Qianniu Guard like me can find out that you embezzled millions of soldiers' salaries. Do you think others can't? ?”

Soldier pay? Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment. He had stolen a lot of military pay? Many generals are corrupt, and he is not the only one. Who dares to check!

"If Empress Chiang finds out that you are corrupt, she will definitely kill you!"

Empress Chiang!

Li Chengyuan's heart beat loudly again and he looked around with a bit of fear.

"Yes, that's right, it was Empress Chiang who promoted you to General Yulinwei." Zhang Ze's voice continued, "But don't forget, you are a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was the late Emperor who first gave you the favor. The late Emperor used you in front, how could you be seen by Empress Chiang."

General Yu Linwei, Li Chengyuan reached out and touched in front of him and felt that he was wearing armor.

"Prime Minister Zhu said that Empress Chiang was kind to him. However, Empress Chiang continued to persecute the late emperor's descendants, and now she even wants to kidnap the late emperor and seize the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Do you want to turn a blind eye and watch the great Zhou Dynasty be destroyed? ”

Zhu Xingjian.

Li Chengyuan looked at Zhang Ze and interrupted him: "What on earth are you talking about?"

Zhang Ze frowned: "Of course we should get rid of Empress Chiang and purge the court."

After getting rid of Empress Jiang, Li Chengyuan looked at the dark room with flickering lights in front of him.

It turns out that Empress Chiang is still here.

"Of course I am." Zhang Ze said, looking at him carefully, "General, you asked for leave due to illness a few days ago. Are you in good health?"

After that, stand up.

"The general is old, so there is no need to take risks. I will convince the prime minister to find someone else."

Say he is old! Look down on him! Li Chengyuan was furious and kicked the desk in front of him: "Bring me my long knife!"

The table shook and rattled, mixed with the maids' exclamations.

"General?"

"Father?"

People came around and asked questions.

Li Chengyuan only felt that his eyes were a little dizzy, so he couldn't help but forcefully close them. When he opened them again, he saw that he was standing in a brightly lit hall. The hall was full of people, including his old servant and his two sons, who looked uneasy. Look at him.

He remembered that he was not General Yulinwei. That was a long time ago. This official position was granted by Empress Chiang. After Empress Chiang was eliminated, he was naturally promoted again.

Just now, were you dreaming?

I dreamed about the time when I was plotting an uprising.

"The general is drunk just after two drinks?" Zhang Ze's voice came, "You are getting older, so you should drink less."

Li Chengyuan looked over and saw Zhang Ze surrounded by guards, with a sly smile on his face. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

This **** who only knows how to do some underhanded tricks reminded him of Li Chengyuan's angry eyes in the past. When he helps a new emperor ascend the throne in the future, he will be the first to get rid of Zhang Ze!

"Bring me my long knife!" he shouted.

"Father, what do you want a knife for?" the son asked, and then said in surprise, "Maybe I want to show you how to dance with a knife!"

Yes, that’s right, he wants to dance with a knife!

I want everyone to see that even though he is old, Li Chengyuan is still brave! No one should underestimate him!

Li Chengyuan laughed: "I'm happy today, I'm here to cheer everyone up!"

The hall suddenly burst into cheers.

"We invite you, General!"
