Chapter 313 Long time no see

Li Chenan, Wang Zhenghaoxuan and a dog in the sack left the Imperial City Department.

At this time, a person fell from the black building opposite the crooked neck tree.

He stood beside Changsun Jinghong and also looked at the direction where Li Chenan's back disappeared.

"Do you really like this kid?"

Changsun Jinghong retracted his gaze and nodded, his face still filled with joy: "If he really becomes my husband's grandson-in-law, it would be great... let's sit down."

This is a middle-aged man who is in a beautiful and elegant manner.

He was wearing a blue Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown on his head.

He lifted his clothes and sat opposite Changsun Jinghong, took the fire to light the tea stove, and cooked a pot of tea.

Changsun shocked him, "Wen Zhuoyu, I've been together for a long time since I got away last time. Where have you been there these days?"

This man turned out to be Wen Xiaowan's father Wen Zhuoyu!

Wen Zhuoyu grinned: "I went to Guangling City."

"That place is worth your visit?"

"worth!"

Wen Zhuoyu raised his head and also looked at Changsun Jinghong, "Tingtao Pavilion on Peach Blossom Mountain is still comfortable drinking. The orchids on Peach Blossom Island are still blooming, so people are still alive."

"This time I went back to Guangling City, I went to Taohua Mountain and drank a pot of peach blossom wine."

"Then rafting on the Huaping Lake, and circled around Taohua Island... and did not land on the shore."

"Later, I will take the people from Li's mansion and a friend out of Guangling City."

"I guess even you will not be able to find their whereabouts."

Changsun raised his eyebrows and did not ask the people in Li's house how they were. Instead, he asked: "Why didn't you go to Taohua Island?"

“No need anymore.”

"So, Shang Di is Xi Wei?"

Wen Zhuiyu twisted a pinch of tea and threw it into the teapot, but did not answer Changsun Jinghong's question.

"Four big-leaf banyans were planted in Kyoto back then, one of which was planted by Shangdi in the old Yulou."

"Later he went to Guangling City and built Taohua Island... His surname is Shang, the Shang family of the Jiangnan Shang family! The Shang of the Shang Prime Minister a hundred years ago!"

"The silver for building Taohua Island came from the Shang clan in Jiangnan. Shang Di, who was originally the younger brother of Shang Liang, the leader of the Shang clan."

"So, he is not Xi Wei!"

Changsun frowned in shock, "Is this the result of your investigation over the years?"

Wen Zhuoyu nodded, "For this reason, I even worked as a housekeeper in the Shang family in Jiangnan for three years."

"Then where is he?"

Wen Zhuoyu looked at Changsun Jinghong, pondered for a while before whispering: "Maybe, he is in Changle Palace!"

Changsun Jinghong was startled, "How is this possible?"

Wen Zhuoyu smiled slightly: "This is the most likely! Because that place is the safest!"

"How can he get in?"

"You overlooked a place."

"where?"

"Dongshan, Taiyi Dao Temple!"

“…”

Changsun Jinghong was silent for a long time, and his two eyebrows suddenly raised, "What are you doing in the Double Jiao Mountain?"

"I don't know, but I still think Ji Tai is also a chess piece!"

"So the situation of Shuangjiao Mountain is also due to Xi Wei's hand?"

"It should be impossible to be wrong, because the emperor shouldn't have returned to Kyoto so by chance, and because the emperor shouldn't have implied that everyone Li Chenan is the eldest son of the emperor...Aren't you also cooperating with the emperor to perform this drama?"

"What is your purpose?"

Changsun Jinghong pondered for three breaths and suddenly smiled: "He is the king, I am the minister, of course I have to cooperate with him."

"No!"

Wen Zhuoyu leaned over and whispered: "You have not forgotten the great journey of the late emperor in Jingtai in the 34th year! You doubt the emperor's identity and intend to use Li Chen'an to find out what happened to him!"

Changsun Jinghong glanced at Wen Zhuoyu meaningfully, "I did think so before, but now... I have changed my mind."

“Why?”

"Li Chenan is a good child. I like him very much, so I can't treat him as a soldier and die!"

"I also think Li Chenan is good, so I asked Xiaowan to go to Meiyuan to send him a letter!"

“…Who should I defend myself?”

"Everyone! Including you!"

...

...

September 18th, the hour of Mao.

It was not yet dawn, but Yujing City had woken up.

The food shops on the streets and alleys have opened their doors, and there is a rolling smoke rising from the stove in the food shop. The smell of freshly steamed buns or grass cakes is floating in the cold air.

There are also many pedestrians in the streets and alleys, most of which are small vendors. If you want to get up early and go to the morning market, you can earn two more coins.

Changyue Alley is relatively quiet. There is a prime minister's mansion and a plum garden in this alley, and the two families occupy more than half of the streets and alleys.

But there are many people in Changyue Alley.

Just outside the plum garden, under the dim light, hundreds of cavalry were standing neatly!

The neighbors in Changyue Alley had already opened the window or cracked the slaughtered cavalry through the door. They didn't know where these cavalry came from and what they were going to do here.

I thought to myself, could it be that Lord Xiao Li was going to take these cavalrymen to break through the newly built door of the Prime Minister’s Mansion?

At this moment, Ji Tai from the Prime Minister's Mansion also received the news.

He was a little worried because these cavalry were well-trained elite soldiers.

"Master, Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong from the Imperial City Department 7 are at the entrance of the Meiyuan Garden... These cavalrymen are probably trained by Changsun Jinghong over the years."

Kang Shiji, the butler of the Prime Minister's Office, said this carefully.

Ji Tai stroked his long beard and said, "This old thing, I guess even the emperor doesn't know about this!"

"So, this should be the support Li Chen'an dares to go to Shuangjiao Mountain!"

"It just happened, then I'll eat them in one bite!"

Kang Shiji pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Master, if these cavalry are really Changsun Jinghong's hard work... Since he handed over these cavalry to Li Chen'an, this is his great trust in Li Chen'an."

"The old slave is a little puzzled. Could this Li Chenan be really the son of Queen Lu?"

"Otherwise, how could Changsun Jinghong take out his heart to him?"

Ji Taihu smiled sinisterly, "This is no longer important!"

“…I’m too much talkative.”

Kang Shiji bowed and retreated, Ji Tai picked up the teacup and looked at the dark night outside the window. A trace of doubt appeared in his eyes at this moment. After a moment, the doubt disappeared.

The main courtyard of the plum garden.

Zhongli Ruoshui cleaned Li Chen'an's clothes and raised his eyes and looked at Li Chen'an's face worriedly.

"You must remember your promise to me!"

"Although it's a bandit suppression, you must not be careless."

"You, after all, are a literati, and you shouldn't have done this kind of thing like bandit suppression."

"I thought about it all night last night, and now you can't stop it, but after this... I still think it's better for you to hold the pen."

Li Chenan smiled slightly and hugged Zhongli Ruoshui into his arms.

"I know, don't worry about the rest. Remember what I told you last night. If you can't convince your grandma... Remember, take Xiao Shisanniang and the others to Guangling City to wait for me!"

“…It’s really that serious?”

"Not necessarily, but you have to be careful after all."

"Besides, aren't we planning to go back to Guangling City?"

"Okay, remember to be more careful!"
