Chapter 22 Chen Yi was granted the title of King of Liang
King Chen frowned slightly at the Queen Mother Chen's words, and then persuaded him: "Mother, I have my own sense of propriety. Brother Wang, I didn't touch him at all. I just wanted the brothers to get together. If the Queen is worried, then
I will follow the wishes of my mother and let my third brother be the king in Yucheng and guard the northwest border. If my third brother does his best, it will relieve my worries."
When the Queen Mother Chen heard what King Chen said, she looked happy and nodded repeatedly, saying: "That's very good. I will also tell your Majesty's wishes to my adopted son, so that he can do his best to build a great cause with you!"
When King Chen waited for Xu Boxiong to return from Western Xinjiang, he also learned that the third prince and Li Hao had led an army to attack. They entered hundreds of miles of grassland every day and raided the Xiongnu tribe for three days in a row. They killed more than a thousand Xiongnu cavalry and looted cattle and sheep.
They had countless horses and captured all the people in the land they occupied and brought them back to Chen, and they achieved great success.
King Chen was overjoyed when he heard the news and sent a decree to confer the title of Prince of Liang on the three princes and ministers to guard the northwest frontier. General Li Hao and the following generals were promoted to senior ranks.
In this way, Chen Guo's political situation temporarily stabilized.
King Wuyou saw that Chen Kingdom had returned to peace, so he said goodbye to Xiao Tianyou and returned to Lincheng territory. King Chen met King Wuyou again in the palace. The two talked secretly for half a day, but nothing was said.
He knew what it was. When King Wuyou left, Xiao Tianyou only saw King Wuyou and King Chen, both of whom looked calm and unfazed.
When Xu Boxiong learned that King Wuyou was going back to Qi, he rushed to Qi Ci Fang to have a small gathering with King Wuyou.
King Wuyou went to Fengyue Tower to say goodbye to Xinyi again. Ever since Xu Boxiong took it upon himself to go to Xinyi and proposed to send her to King Wuyou, Xinyi never saw King Wuyou again. She only knew Wuyou
The king had been staying in Qi Ci Fang, and occasionally went to You'an Temple. Because Zen Master Jingming had not returned from his trip, he just took a seat and left immediately. Now seeing King Wuyou suddenly coming, Xinyi felt a little happy.
King Wuyou told Xinyi that he was going back to Qi and came to say goodbye to her. Xinyi felt lonely for no reason. King Wuyou saw that Xinyi didn't say anything, so he smiled faintly and said, "Miss Xinyi, how many days have passed?"
I'm here to thank you for your hospitality. If you come to my country of Qi in the future, or if you pass by my Lincheng territory, please remember to come and sit in my house."
Xinyi also smiled after hearing this and agreed softly.
King Wuyou left Luo City with the caravan from Qi Ci Fang and walked to Andong Township, not far from Wucheng. However, King Wuyou remembered something and ordered the caravan to go back on their own without waiting for him. Wuyou King
King You took Lu Zheng and Gu Yuetian to the market town. At this time, it was noon, and there was a stew shop on the street of the market town. The old man who was the shopkeeper was standing in front of the stall to drive away mosquitoes and flies.
King Wuyou walked to and stood in front of the old man. The old man had also seen him a long time ago and responded with a smile: "This young master looks familiar. He must be Mr. Qi!"
Seeing that old man Wu Zhi still recognized him, King Wuyou hurriedly stepped forward to salute him and said, "Old man Wu, you are doing well these days. It has been many years since we parted ways, and I have no time to see you. I still wish you Haihan."
!”
Wu Zhi walked out of the stall, turned to King Wuyou, held his hand, looked at him carefully, and said: "Young master, what are you talking about? I got your money, so I renovated the house, and the store is now bigger.
Hiring a man can also help me. I want to write about you."
After saying that, he let King Wuyou, Lu Zheng, and Gu Yuetian go into the room. He shouted inside: "Xiaoling, Ali, Mr. Qi is here. Please close the stall quickly and prepare food and drinks for us. I want to go with Qi."
Sir, how many drinks will they have?"
As soon as Wu Zhi finished speaking, Xiao Ling came out to greet him. Behind him, a muscular young man in his twenties wiped his hands on his body and followed him out.
Xiaoling recognized King Wuyou, so she stepped forward to meet him. King Wuyou looked at Xiaoling, then at the young man behind him, and smiled. Xiaoling blushed a little at the smile, and smiled at Wuyou.
The young man turned around and walked outside. The young man stepped forward to look at King Wuyou, smiled naively, and called out: "Mr. Qi, you are here. I will help Xiaoling pack her things."
King Wuyou nodded, and the young man went out. Wu Zhi also smiled and said: "Master Qi, don't be ridiculous, young people from the countryside have never seen the world. This is the man I told you, I see others
Honestly, I just want to invite him to my house. I’m going to have a wedding in a few days. I wonder if Mr. Qi can come?"
King Wuyou turned around and asked, "Well, I saw that Miss Xiaoling was looking happy, and I guessed there was something happy going on. I'm going to stay here for a few days. If I can catch up, Xiaoling
I will definitely come to attend this girl’s happy event!”
While they were joking, Wu Zhi let King Wuyou and Gu Yuetian enter the house.
Lu Zheng went out to tie the horse, and the young man named Ali stepped forward to pick it up. He held the horse's reins and touched the horse's mane with his hands. It was obvious that he liked the horse very much. Lu Zheng took off the horse and took it off.
Ali looked at the cloth bag and asked: "Master, what kind of weapons do you have?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's my usual pair of guys. I always carry them with me." Ali looked at them curiously, but was too embarrassed to ask any more, so Lu Zheng turned back and entered the hospital.
When King Wuyou entered the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was still the same as that time, but the house was larger than the original one, and several more rooms were built on the east and west sides. The yard was also tidied up, and the yard and the house were full of pottery.
The aroma of cooking. Smelling this aroma, King Wuyou felt that he was really hungry.
Wu Zhi invited King Wuyou and Gu Yue to get on the kang, and he also went up to sit on the kang. Lu Zheng also took the signal from King Wuyou and sat next to old man Wu.
There were plenty of ready-made food in Wu Zhi's house, so Xiaoling and Ali quickly prepared a table of food and wine. King Wuyou was not in a hurry to use chopsticks. When Xiaoling finished her work, he called her and Ali to sit down together. Xiaoling
Ling looked at her father, and Wu Zhi also smiled and nodded, saying: "Young Master Qi is not an outsider, you and Ali can join us."
During the dinner, King Wuyou and Wu Zhi drank and chatted, and Ali also expressed his envy of Lu Zheng. King Wuyou asked Wu Zhi: "Old man Wu, I think this Ali doesn't look like an ordinary farmer. He looks like a soldier."
Wu Zhi also laughed and said: "Young Master Qi really has good eyesight. This Ali was originally a soldier in Wucheng. Because he killed a school captain during a martial arts exercise, the school captain's father and brother took it away and wanted to kill him.
He broke away at night and ran to me, and I happened to be short of people, so I took him in."
King Wuyou nodded and asked Ali: "Your name is Ali? What is your real name?"
Ali glanced at Wu Zhi, then with a solemn expression, he clasped his fists and replied: "I am from Xiangfen. My parents died when I was young. I joined the army in Wucheng when I was fifteen. When I was a child, my neighbors told me that my surname was Chen and that my father had left
Give me the name Chen Li."
King Wuyou was very magnanimous when he heard Ali's words, so he nodded and said: "Chen Li, I think you must have some skills. But in these troubled times, it is a blessing for you to come to Uncle Wu's house.
I also heard from Mr. Wu that he is interested in your character and is willing to betroth Miss Xiaoling to you, so just show your respect to Mr. Wu and stop mentioning those past events!"
When Wu Zhi heard King Wuyou say this, he naturally understood what King Wuyou meant, so he took over the words and said: "Ali, you will be my son-in-law from now on, Wu Zhi. Anyone who asks will just say that he lives here and does not remember his hometown.
Mr. Qi is just reminding you not to mention the past anymore!"
Chen Li was not a confused person. He naturally understood. He smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, I understand. I just said it because Mr. Qi is very kind. I won't mention it again in the future." After saying that, he took a peek.
Xiaoling, Xiaoling just pursed her lips and smiled.
Everyone laughed when they heard what he said frankly and how cute he was when he peeked at Xiaoling.
After eating until noon, King Wuyou became a little drunk, so he said goodbye to Wu Zhi and went to stay at the Tongfu Inn nearby. King Wuyou woke up and saw that it was almost dusk outside, so he got up.
Lu Zheng asked the waiter to bring him some face wash, and King Wuyou washed his face, cleaned up after himself, and walked downstairs with Lu Zheng.
After going downstairs, I saw Chen Li waiting outside. Seeing King Wuyou coming down, he came up to him with a smile and said, "Mr. Qi, Uncle Wu asked me to call you to have a drink!"
King Wuyou rubbed his forehead with his hands and said with a smile: "I'll let you go, but you can't drink this wine anymore."
King Wuyou and Lu Zheng, Gu Yuetian took advantage of the night to ride their horses on the official road. Gu Yuetian said softly to King Wuyou: "There are a few people following you on the road. I have already sent them away. They are the caravan back to Qi State."
Here, I also asked them to pretend to be princes."
King Wuyou was riding on his horse, looking at the moonlight in the sky. After listening to Gu Yuetian's words, he nodded and said: "We travel at night and spend the day, thinking that we will arrive at Yucheng in five or six days. I will go and see you."
Liang Wang Chen Yi."
In the Liang Prince's Mansion in Yucheng, Liang King Chen Yi has already brought his family to the palace. He sent troops to pursue the Huns a few days ago and has driven away all the Huns' cavalry within three hundred miles of the Chen State's border. The Chen State's light cavalry went out.
Having just returned to the city, Chen Yi and Li Hao and other generals who were returning from the expedition finished drinking the celebratory wine, and Li Hao and other generals had just left the palace.
A guard came in and reported that there was a young master outside the door with a follower, saying that he was recommended by Prime Minister Xu and was coming to pay a visit to King Liang. Chen Yi felt a little strange after hearing this, but thought that since it was recommended by Xu Boxiong,
There must be some news. So he ordered the guards to bring the people into the house.
King Wuyou followed the guards into the main hall, and saw Chen Yi sitting behind the handsome desk, looking up at him. King Wuyou stood in the hall, looked at Chen Yi, and laughed. Chen Yi turned around from King Wuyou
When the courtyard door came into view, he was shocked in his heart. When King Wuyou stood in front of him, he realized it and ordered the guards to wait outside. No one was allowed to come in without his consent.
Chen Yi turned around and walked up to King Wuyou, stretched out his hand to hold King Wuyou's hand, and said with a smile: "Prince Wuyou, it's really beyond my expectation that you would come to this remote place like mine. Come here.
Come, sit down quickly!"
When King Wuyou celebrated his birthday, Chen Yi sat down, looked at Chen Yi, and said: "Your Highness, Prince of Liang, I heard in Luocheng that you were crowned Prince of Liang, and I thought I would come to congratulate you. I am a few days late.
