Watching Li Yuan and Luo Erhu gallop away, Zhou Zong returned to his usual seriousness, and then ordered people to close the door of the mansion tightly and hurried back.

It was almost sunset, and the setting sun of autumn cast a faint golden light over the huge left-behind mansion.

In the seat where Li Yuan had been sitting just now, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old was already sitting, with a fresh cup of tea in hand, and Zhou Zong was standing in front of him, bowing respectfully.

Zhou Zong was seen with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "I have met His Highness King Yan!"

"Master Zhou, no courtesy!" The famous elders of the two dynasties like Zhou Zong bowed their heads in front of him, but the young man had no expression on his face and nodded very naturally. It was because he was the eldest son of the current emperor and guarded Runzhou and Xuanzhou.

Li Hongji, King of Yan.

Seeing Li Hongji just staring at him sinisterly, Zhou Zong swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "Your Highness, Li Yuan is not only brave and resourceful, but also very knowledgeable about the affairs of the country. He is really rare.

What a great talent!”

Li Hongji did not object to this. When Li Yuan was talking to Zhou Zong just now, he hid in the back of the hall and listened completely. At this time, he showed a little sullenness: "Well, I know this person's talent well.

, although it is a bit alarmist, but it also has merit. Didn’t the boss say before that Li Yuan is a member of the Song and Chen parties? Why, now that you want to marry Emperor E to him, you are so in love with the house? "

Zhou Zong suddenly blushed and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness should have heard this. I was confused before and almost wronged my loyal minister!"

Li Hongji had no intention of making things difficult, and then gestured with his fingers on the table, showing a sneer: "That's all, since Li Yuan has become your son-in-law, I don't care anymore. No matter who this person forms a party with, from now on you will

Be sure to remind him not to go against me! In recent years, my third uncle has become more and more stubborn!"

Zhou Zong hurriedly stepped forward and said sincerely: "I understand! Your Highness, please rest assured! Since Li Yuan is my virtuous son-in-law, I am willing to be your guarantee, and he will definitely work for Your Highness!"

Li Hongji finally showed a peaceful smile, "That's good! If he can understand the truth, when the time is right, I can recommend him to guard one side and serve as foreign aid in the future."

"I would like to thank Your Highness on behalf of my son-in-law!"

After the matter was over, Li Hongji picked up the cup of tea with great interest. He was very curious when he saw Li Yuan drinking this way, so he ordered his maid to brew a cup for himself.

He took a big sip excitedly, but the warm tea was not as delicious as before. An extremely strong bitterness instantly numbed the entire mouth, which was very painful. His Highness, Prince Yan, could not care less about the loss of etiquette and immediately vomited.

He spread all over the floor, and then shouted: "This damn farm slave! It's so bitter and unbearable. Is Li Yuan a dog? How can he say it!"

Turning his head to see Zhou Zong's dumbfounded look, Li Hongji immediately regained his dignity, took out a purple silk handkerchief from his sleeve, touched the corner of his mouth casually, and then pretended to smile relaxedly: "Okay! I'll wait for you to take care of it.

It's a happy event, so I'm here to ask for a drink to celebrate! I'm going back to Runzhou first!"

Feeling relieved, Zhou Zong hurriedly stood up and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness!"

Arriving outside Liushou Mansion, King Yan Li Hongji immediately took a pot of water from his subordinates and drank heavily, but the bitterness in his mouth still lingered, even reaching the bottom of his throat, almost driving him crazy.

In the end, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "Well, Li Yuan, Zhou Zong can't tell that he is old and dizzy, but I can see how scheming you are! I hope you don't become my biggest enemy!"

Otherwise, it’s so painful! Next time we meet, I’ll ask you first about your crime of poisoning me...”

...

The sky in Chuzhou is, after all, the sky in my hometown.

In the eyes of Li Yuan and Liu Jiangsheng, as soon as they stepped into Chuzhou, the white clouds in the sky above their heads, the surrounding mountains, rocks, streams, and even the weeds on the roadside all added to their intimacy.

Luo Erhu knew how to do the job and ordered someone to carry out a big box. Under the command of Luo Erhu, several soldiers took all the miscellaneous things that Li Yuan had received in the palace, such as sticks, umbrellas, cards, gongs, etc.

I took it out and even found two extremely ostentatious big red lacquered wooden signs from nowhere.

So he turned to look at Liu Jiangsheng with a suspicious face, only to get two sly smiles, and Li Yuan helplessly spread his hands...

Soon, such a mighty group of people suddenly appeared on the official road outside Chuzhou City.

The two soldiers at the front of the team made a rhythmic "clang" sound, sounded the gong, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Du Yuhou is driving! Xianza people are waiting to avoid!... Duyuhou is driving! Xianza is driving!"

People should avoid it!..."

Dozens of cavalrymen in bright armor marched slowly and uniformly to clear the way, followed by two serious sergeants holding high two big red lacquered wooden signs, which read "Quiet" and "Avoid" respectively.

Two smaller signs were held at the back, which read "General Xuanwei" and "Dianzhidu Yuhou".

Following closely, Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu rode tall horses to the left and right, guarding Li Yuan who was wearing a purple robe with an awkward smile on his face in the middle, followed by four to five hundred Forbidden Army soldiers in full lineup, swaggering along the

Advance along the official road.

The direction of this road is not in Chuzhou City. There are not many people there. There are only a few small vendors here and there. Passers-by pass by from time to time. But when they see such a crowd, they still get out of the way and continue to be respectful.

He bowed his head respectfully and waited for the car to drive by.

It was noon, and it was time for leisure. Li Yuan and the others made a fuss, and the commotion became louder.

Somehow, the people around him spread the word, and soon even the people in the city came out to watch the excitement. For a while, both sides of the avenue were crowded with people. It was the first time that Li Yuan was watched like this.

Obviously he felt uncomfortable, but he knew in his heart that not only Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu, but also the kind-hearted adoptive mother Liu in the family, in this era, not all the people closest to him wanted to see him in such glory.

A scene?

The sadness of a person is only known to oneself; but the return home in fine clothes is for others to see! Why not be generous and generous!

Seeing that he was soon approaching the Wangjiazhuang in his memory, Li Yuan simply raised his voice and said with a cheerful face to the people watching all the way: "I, General Xuanwei, I am the Commander-in-Chief, Du Yu.

Hou Liyuan, a native of Wangjiazhuang, returned to his hometown today and came to take me back to Jinling to enjoy her happiness! Folks, I am polite!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuan himself choked up. What the hell is this? There were such polite officials in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?

Looking at Li Yuan's stiff smile, the onlookers didn't dare to reply even if they had the guts. There were hundreds of soldiers around this official! No matter how curious they were, they didn't dare to test whether his neck was stiff.

Wangjiazhuang is located three miles east of Chuzhou City. Li Yuan and his party soon knocked the gong to the head of the village. When they were just watching, some good people saw the people coming towards the direction of Zhuangzi and had already come back to report.

As soon as the tall horses of Li Yuan and his entourage stopped, they saw Li Zheng in Wangjiazhuang, leading all the men, women, and children in the village to wait respectfully.
