There was something in Xiao Yilaan's words that Luo Youdu couldn't help but notice, and immediately felt a little moved.
The appearance of Xiao Hunian and Xiao Yilai are very similar, but the former has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his figure is strong, strong and heroic, like a female leopard. The latter likes calligraphy and painting, and has been trapped at home for five years.
, has a yandere attitude like Sister Lin, weak Liu Fufeng.
The sight of two people with similar faces but completely different styles lying side by side on the bed and letting themselves do whatever they want makes the blood rush and the mind wander just thinking about it.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Luo Youdu forcibly maintained his emperor's dignity and said: "I... am not this kind of person."
Xiao Yilai chuckled, with a hint of joking in his smile.
Luo Youdu already has rich life experience. During his years as emperor, he has seen many storms and waves. He has also accumulated a lot of experience in the interdependence and competition between the civil and military forces in the temple. In terms of insight into the smallest details of the characters,
There are few rivals in the world.
When Xiao Yilan smiled, Luo Youdu realized that the harsh words Xiao Jieyu said today were not a whim, but something happened.
Luo Youdu lifted the chin of his beloved concubine in front of him and said, "What did that little girl Xiao Yanyan say to you again?"
Xiao Yilai had never lived in Bianjing. On the day she entered the city, she lived in the Enyi State Palace, which was the Luo residence in the past. The next day, after informing Fu Qing'er, she was arrested for assisting in the attack.
For her military exploits in the Khitan Imperial City, she entered the palace and was granted the title of Jieyu.
Most of Xiao Yilai's knowledge of Bianjing City came from Xiao Chuo.
Behind the extremely young boy, there was a man holding a flag high, with a distinct "Zhe" character on it.
Li Jilong was in Liangzhou and had heard of the Fugu family.
A group of strange-looking people got off the merchant ship. Their attire was no different from that of the Han people in the Central Plains, but their clothes gave off a nondescript feeling.
Meng Sun glanced around and said with a smile: "Liangzhou Li Jilong!"
Since Dayu regained Lianglong and opened the Silk Road, although the undercurrents in the Western Regions were turbulent, no one wanted to live with money after all. In addition, Dayu's government was clear and clear, the government was harmonious, and the national power was booming. At the same time, the Lianglong Post Road was repaired and a canal was established.
The opening of the hotel has further facilitated business travel from east to west.
The road is long, and it is inevitable that bandits will appear. It is a long-standing practice to travel together to ensure safety.
His words caused a burst of cheers. Regardless of the size of the caravan, as long as it arrived in Luoyang safely, it meant huge profits.
Li Jilong asked curiously: "Uncle Meng, do you recognize him? He looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, right? How can he command Fugu Jingqi?"
Meng Sun said softly: "Young Master joined the caravan for them, right?"
"Ha?" Luo Youdu was stunned for a while and was speechless for a moment.
After the ship docked, Meng Sun went to the pier. He looked at the caravans carrying goods in an orderly manner and breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally safe.
The person in charge of this caravan is a businessman surnamed Meng, Meng Sun, who is in his early fifties and has been doing business in Liangzhou for many years. He is shrewd, capable, and outgoing. After the Silk Road was reopened, he reaped the first wave of dividends and made a lot of money.
Jiye has a very high prestige among many traders.
Li Jilong nodded shyly.
Li Jilong said calmly: "Uncle Meng is well-informed. Who else is worthy of the title of young hero?"
Meng Sun's words were taken aback. Is he from Wude Division?
Li Jilong didn't dare to say anything, but just said: "Thank you for your compliments from uncle, but I don't know who the last two are? My nephew wants to get acquainted..."
There is something fishy about this caravan!
Li Jilong knew that he was talking about Jing Si.
Meng Sun stretched out his injured hand and said: "Not only do you know me, but I also participated in the battle of 5 million to 50,000 below Liangzhou City with your father. At that time, I was beside your father, but he was injured in the rebellion.
, I couldn’t use my hands hard, so I retreated to the second line. Otherwise, he might be one of the brave generals of Liangzhou Prefecture..."
Li Jilong asked curiously: "Who?"
Meng Sun said: "The little black-faced king Yin Jilun, the prodigy Kou Zhun."
Meng Sun said again: "There is another person who is eight years old this year. He is extremely intelligent and courageous. He is familiar with the Four Books and the Spring and Autumn Annals. After becoming a martial artist, he got drunk and rode his horse, injuring pedestrians. He stopped the horse unnecessarily and scolded him.
, citing scriptures and redressing injustices for the people, he is very much like his father. He should be called a young hero."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a high-spirited young man leading his horse off the boat, followed by three young men. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Mu, today is the day when you and I part ways. I wish you to go to Bianjing and go to high school."
A Jinshi will rise to the top."
Mutu looked at Mengsun and felt a little complicated. His true identity was Li Jilong, the eldest son of Li Chuyun, the governor of Liangzhou in the Great Yu Dynasty. This time he went to Beijing to pay an audience to Yang Guangmei's daughter on his father's order. On the way, he met Mengsun's daughter.
Caravan.
Meng Sun said: "They are Manichaeans who escaped from Khotan, and they have information from the West hidden in their bodies. I don't know what the specific information is, but their saint said that they will not speak until they see His Majesty, and they will keep it for discussion."
condition."
Li Jilong had never heard of it, but he still said: "Be a young hero."
Retired Meng Sun personally led a caravan from the Western Regions, which was contrary to common sense, and there were some anomalies in the team. Li Jilong believed that his upbringing had been very strict since he was a child. After arriving in Liangzhou, he was left by Li Chuyun to train in the Liangzhou military camp.
He rarely went to Liangzhou City to have fun, and not many people actually saw him in Liangzhou. He was young and energetic, and a highly skilled man, and he was bold. He personally infiltrated the caravan to investigate the situation, which really made him notice something strange.
Looking at the withered willow trees on the banks of the Luoshui River, Meng Sun said loudly: "There is Mengjin Port ahead. When we get to the dock, we will unload the goods and hurry up. The goods can be transported to the warehouse before sunset today. By then, all the procedures will be completed.
The Yu officials have arranged that I will stay in Luoyang for half a month. If you are willing to return with me, you can meet at the inn at the beginning of December."
At this time, an official ship docked on the right side of the pier, and a group of wolf-like knights stepped onto the pier from the deck one by one. What was even more surprising was that the leader turned out to be an extremely young boy.
Meng Sun said with some meaning: "Actually, there is another person. Although he has not done anything now, I believe he will also become a hero. He just lacks an opportunity."
Among the endless flow of business travelers, there is an inconspicuous caravan that is hurrying on its way. This caravan is temporarily composed of some small business travelers from the Western Regions. The Western Regions are not peaceful now. Although the photo was taken in Da
Yu was powerful, the Uighurs in Xizhou, the Uighurs in Ganzhou, the Cao family returned to the rebel army, and the Silk Road was reopened, but after all, Dayu was not in charge personally.
Li Jilong was so alert. When his father served as the governor of Hexi Province, he had no military power. The five hundred soldiers he could mobilize were all hidden spies of the Wude Division.
Xiao Yi's eyes turned lazily, and he chuckled: "There's no point in chewing your tongue, who doesn't know that Your Majesty prefers sisters!"
Li Jilong instantly blushed, realizing that his identity had been exposed a long time ago, and said awkwardly: "When did Uncle Meng find out?"
While saying this, the accompanying businessmen had already said goodbye to each other and left.
Luo Youdu was so angry that he cursed...
——
In the fifth year of Yongjing's reign, it was mid-November.
"There is another person, less than fifteen years old, who is guarding Lingzhou with his father. The Dingnan army made a surprise attack hundreds of miles away to steal grain. The young man encountered bandit soldiers while hunting. He asked his family generals to return to report the news, and he only followed with three attendants. At night
When the thieves rested their horses, he shot twenty-eight people with one bow and one person at night, so that thousands of thieves did not dare to light fires. They were panicked and held back thousands of thieves for half the night with only three people. This made Lingzhou do enough.
Prepare to kill five hundred thieves with corpses... The young man has only been in Lingzhou for a year, and he has the party members respect him as the little black-faced king."
Li Jilong was shocked and said: "Uncle Meng knows my father?"
Meng Sun said: "I recognize him. I went to Fugu for delivery in the early years. This person is Zhe Yuxun, the young master of the Zhe family. Although he is young, like most Fugu boys, he started to train his hands and feet and learn martial arts as soon as he could walk.
, he can shoot wolves with arrows and pick off bandits with his spear at the age of ten. He is a famous general with military exploits. This visit to Beijing is probably to celebrate the New Year for His Majesty."
Li Shengtian in Khotan had a close relationship with the Guiyi Army of the Cao family, and the Manichaeans had always been under house arrest for Li Shengtian.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Karakhan has been making a lot of big moves recently, and it is obvious that they are going to make a big move.
A hint of smile flashed in Meng Sun's eyes and he said: "Speaking of young heroes, I have returned to the world of Yu, and there are many talented people. How can the young heroes be just the young masters of the Zhe family?"
Xiao Yilai was acting strangely today. Needless to think about it, it probably had something to do with Xiao Chuo.
Meng Sun said: "I know a man who was only fifteen years old. He rushed into battle in the first battle and killed more than fifty Khitan vanguard troops. His Majesty called him the Imperial Tiger. Should he be regarded as a young hero?"
The Kingdom of Karakhan was not a country established by Westerners, but a political state established by the Uighurs, Geluolu people, Turks and other ethnic groups. They were all old rivals of Eastern China. Even if they were given a hundred courages, they would not be able to do so.
The enemy who dares to despise knows his roots.
He said with a hearty smile: "If you think the time is too short, it's okay. You must have understood along the way that under the rule of Dayu, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are no bandits even in Lianglong. I dare not say anything else. From Luoyang to
I have traveled back and forth more than twenty times along the way to Liangzhou, and I have never seen any thieves in the world. When I arrive in Liangzhou, I can find a caravan to go to the Western Regions with me."
"Of course!"
But after the Dayu Dynasty destroyed the Khitan and wiped out the Northern Territory, the pressure came to the Karakhan Kingdom.
Big businessmen like Meng Sun always make it convenient for others and themselves, so they invite him to go with them and take good care of them along the way until they end in Luoyang.
As more than thirty riders passed by at high speed, there were waves of discussion around them, all talking about the Fugu family.
After Xiao Yilai entered the palace, Xiao Chuo entered the palace more frequently.
As the starting point of the Silk Road, Luoyang, which spans the north and south banks of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, can still vaguely see its former glory.
Li Jilong blinked his eyes. He was proficient in "Four Books" and "Spring and Autumn" at the age of eight?
I am not very good at reading "Spring and Autumn" now, so I said without hesitation: "He is a hero."
Li Jilong narrowed his eyes. He had been practicing in the Liangzhou military camp. Youdao was a big horse from Liangzhou and was popular all over the world.
Not inferior to his father's carefully trained and selected vanguard troops in Liangzhou.
Meng Sun said: "Let's start with it. The young master himself has not revealed any flaws. It's just that your face is very similar to your father's. I still remember your father's majestic and heroic appearance. After comparing with each other, there is no need to guess."
Broken home?
Because the axle of La Shu's carriage broke on the road, he happened to meet them.
The young man in front of me is called Mutu. He met a scholar who was visiting Beijing on the official road in Hehuang.
Mutu is very talkative and erudite, and his words and deeds reflect his extraordinary status. Although he is not very old, he looks like an old man who has traveled around the world for many years. Most of them are children of nobles who go out to gain experience.
Xiao Chuo was young, but she had a natural agility to do big things, and she was very good at pleasing people. Even the deserted Emperor Zhou E looked at her differently. As a hostage, she came in and out of the palace and gained the favor of the public.
Li Jilong immediately understood the reason. He had been in Liangzhou for many years and had a certain understanding of the situation in Liangzhou.
But along the way, Li Jilong was deeply cared for by Meng Sun, and his mood was a little abnormal.
In the middle of winter, the wind is rare and the sun is beautiful. The Luoshui River leading to Luoyang is full of people and boats, with thousands of merchants coming and going.
Is it possible that besides being a thief, Cao has a new hobby?
"Who chews the back of the tongue?"
Li Jilong had heard some of Meng Sun's deeds and knew that his hand disease was serious and reoccurring. He stopped doing business as early as a year ago. Instead, he handed over his business to his son-in-law. This time he personally led the team and the scale was very large.
Generally speaking, I find it weird. It is a critical moment in the Western Regions now. Li Shengtian’s Khotan has had many large-scale conflicts with the Kingdom of Karakhanids. In terms of national strength, the Kingdom of Karakhanids is stronger, but Karakhanids have suffered in the west.
Under the control of the Samanid dynasty, the Eastern Front and Li Shengtian fought back and forth, with each side having its own victory or defeat.
Meng Sun also said with emotion: "It's so big!"
The Khotan, Xizhou Uighurs, Ganzhou Uighurs, and Guiyi armies all nominally surrendered to the Yu court in the east. If the delay continues and the great powers in the east get involved, there will be no chance of fighting.
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Li Jilong's eyes. He was almost 20 years old and had not yet achieved military merit. A young boy of 12 or 13 years old had already achieved military merit. He was really ashamed and couldn't help but said with a bit of admiration: "What a good man.
Young hero!"
He felt more and more that Uncle Meng, whom he had been wary of following along the way, was unusual.
Meng Bamboo carried him all the way.
On the surface, Li Shengtian respected Dayu as his master, but inside he was a master who was unwilling to be inferior to others and always wanted to dominate the Western Regions.
Meng Sun came east this time to cover up Khotan and the Cao family's eyes and ears. The trade exchanges over the years have inevitably been mixed with the lurking forces of all parties.
At this time, Li Jilong completely believed Meng Sun's words and hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't say anything anymore. This time it's my own family who is bumping into my own family. My nephew knows how to measure his own. He will not and dare not harm the court."
Meng Sun didn't say much and led the Manichaeans away.
Li Jilong watched several people leave, looked at the scenery along the Luoshui River, gathered his mood, mounted his horse and entered the city. The last time he came here in his memory can be traced back to six years ago.
