Chapter five hundred and seventy first: Fool again
As soon as they heard that Wan He had no invitation, the sergeants immediately turned pale and shouted: "No one is allowed to enter the house without an invitation." A lot of people happened to come to the gate just now, so these sergeants happened to be without Seeing Li Yuanji and Wan He coming together. Besides, even if they saw it, it didn't mean anything. Since Li Yuanji didn't bring Wan He into the house, it means that Wan He is simply an insignificant person. Why should they care about it? .
Wan He also stepped back with an embarrassed look on his face. Cheng Yaojin, who was behind Wan He, saw him and his face became gloomy. He clenched his fists and prepared to charge forward. Fortunately, the people around him Du Ruhui and Du Hao held Cheng Yaojin tightly to prevent any commotion. Wan He also frowned. Now he couldn't even enter the Tang Palace. So why bother breaking into Li Tang's senior management to stir up trouble?
Just when Wan He was at a loss what to do, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far away. Wan He turned his head and saw a group of cavalry rushing towards this side. The leader was wearing a fine black suit. He was wearing armor. He was riding a black war horse. He held his head high and his chest was high. However, when Wan He looked at that person, he always felt that he looked familiar. He kept staring at that person, trying to recall where he had seen this person before.
At this time, this group of cavalry also arrived in front of the Tang Prince's Mansion. The leader turned over and dismounted. He said to the men behind him: "You can all stay here." After saying that, he stepped forward directly. Heading towards Prince Tang's Mansion, when the sergeants saw him, they didn't mention anything about the invitation at all. They just got out of the way.
"Uh, wait a minute." Seeing this scene, Wan He was no longer calm. He immediately took a big step forward. However, he almost didn't fall. He finally stood up straight. Wan He pointed at that The black-armored general shouted to the sergeants: "Why don't you ask him for an invitation?"
Wan He suddenly shouted like this. The black-armored general also looked back at Wan He with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand how such a person escaped. And his subordinates behind him immediately pulled out the sabers on their waists. . Stared at Wan He warily. Only the sergeants looked at Wan He and snorted coldly: "Asshole. This is General Chai, the commander-in-chief of the horse army. He is also the husband of the princess. Of course he will not enter the Tang Palace. I need an invitation."
This black-armored general is none other than Chai Shao. Back then in Luoyang, Chai Shao and Wan He had a relationship. But now Wan He has put on makeup. He looks completely different. Chai Shao has only met Wan He. How could he recognize him once? Since he was so angry at Wan He in Luoyang that he left Luoyang, Chai Shao had been unlucky for a while. In the end, he had no choice but to turn back to Li Yuan again. However, Li Yuan was very fond of Chai Shao. Not only did he entrust Chai Shao with important responsibilities, but he also promised his daughter Li Xiuning to Chai Shao in the end. However, affairs have been complicated in the past few years, so Li Xiuning and Chai Shao have not yet consummated their marriage. However, everyone in the Tang Palace has long regarded Chai Shao as his wife. He is his uncle.
Hearing the sergeant's words, Chai Shao's mind came back to Li Xiuning's beautiful face. His heart was itching for a while. A smile appeared on his face involuntarily. Chai Shao was not in the mood to care about this fat man who suddenly appeared. . He waved his hand and signaled those subordinates to put away their sabers. Then they turned around and walked back into the mansion.
"Ah, it turns out to be General Chai." Wan He exclaimed as soon as he heard the sergeant's words. It wasn't that he really recognized Chai Shao as the unlucky guy who almost vomited blood after being fooled by him. But it was just that he actually recognized Chai Shao. Now he was worried about not being able to enter the house. Chai Shao came to his door. How could he not take advantage of it? While shouting, Wan He shook off the fat on his body and ran directly to Chai Shao and grabbed him. Got Chai Shao.
"Well." Originally, Chai Shao no longer planned to argue with Wan He, but he didn't expect that the other party would still bother him. No matter how good his temper was, Chai Shao couldn't help it. Chai Shao frowned immediately. Staring at Wan He, he hummed: "You know me."
"General Chai, who is famous all over the world. Who doesn't know him?" Wan He flattered him at first, and then said to Chai Shao with a smile: "This, villain, is just a businessman. But I am honored. .I can get acquainted with the fifth young master. The fifth young master intends to support the villain. This is why he recommends the villain in front of the king of Tang. And the king of Tang also intends to let the villain come to the banquet today. Haha. The villain is ashamed. This body is too fat. It got in the way, so that the villain couldn't keep up with the Fifth Young Master. As a result, the Fifth Young Master entered the house first, but the villain couldn't follow. This, this, I can't get in here now. Please take care of General Chai. For the sake of the Fifth Young Master, please bring me in. I will be very grateful."
"Fifth Young Master, it was your people who killed Yuan Hu." Chai Shao frowned. But he immediately thought of the fact that Yuan Hu, a direct descendant of the Yuan family, was killed in the street five days ago. Chang'an City is not small, but big. It's not big either. Chai Shao has always stayed in Chang'an City. Naturally, he has heard about the things that have spread throughout Chang'an City in the past few days.
The Chai family is actually considered a member of the Guanlong aristocracy, but it is just an inconspicuous small family among the Guanlong aristocracy. And Chai Shao is engaged to Li Yuan's daughter, so naturally he is on Li Yuan's side. And Wan He He sent someone to kill Yuan Hu. In Chai Shao's view, his actions were a bit reckless, but at least he was on the same front as Li Yuan. Chai Shao's expression also softened a lot. Chai Shao nodded immediately and turned to face the man. The sergeant said: "Go in and ask the Fifth Young Master for instructions. See if this person is really brought by the Fifth Young Master. By the way, your name is..."
"The villain's name is Qian Que." Seeing Chai Shao willing to help, Wan He couldn't be happier. Immediately, Wan He saluted Chai Shao with a charming smile on his face. Chai Shao didn't care much. Wan He waved his hand, turned around and continued walking inside. Seeing that Chai Shao was about to leave again, Wan He quickly took Chai Shao's hand again. He smiled and said: "Well, General Chai, send the Buddha off. When I get to the west, help others until the end. Why don't I just ask the general to take me in directly? Why go to all the trouble."
Chai Shao waved his hand and looked at Wan He angrily. He was about to scold him, but then he thought that since this guy was the one whom Li Yuan wanted to see by name, who knew what Li Yuan would do to him later. Now his face is torn. If Li Yuan wants to reuse this person, wouldn't it be that he has made an enemy for nothing. Since he has been wandering for a period of time, Chai Shao has become more cautious in doing things. He no longer acts impulsively. He hesitated for a moment and hummed: "Okay. "Just come with me. I'm afraid you can't do any tricks." After saying that, Chai Shao waved his hand and motioned for Wan He to follow him into the house.
Seeing that Chai Shao agreed, Wan He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately winked at Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and Du Hao behind him and asked them to guard the door. He followed Chai Shao directly. In this way, he walked into Prince Tang's Mansion. At the same time, in a corner next to Prince Tang's Mansion, a figure flashed past and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In less than a stick of incense, in the study room in the backyard of Prince Tang's Mansion, Li Yuan already knew everything that had just happened at the gate. Li Yuan had no expression on his face. He just nodded lightly. . Said: "This Qian Que is quite clever in his actions. He is quite adaptable. He is also a talented person. Well, you go down. Continue to keep an eye on him. If anything happens, come and report it as soon as possible."
As Li Yuan's words fell, the man in black who had been kneeling in front of Li Yuan immediately disappeared. Li Yuan was the only one left sitting there in the study, stroking a string of jade beads with one hand, seemingly thinking about something.
Let's say that Wan He followed Chai Shao all the way from the gate to the living room. There were already a lot of people in the living room at this time. Everyone was in groups of three and two, chatting with each other. Wan He looked at the scene, which was a bit like that of later generations. It was like a social banquet. Wan He curled his lips and muttered to himself: "This Li Yuan is quite avant-garde. Why don't you have a buffet and cocktails."
Chai Shao naturally couldn't hear Wan He's inner murmur. When he arrived at the living room, he ignored Wan He. He smiled and greeted people he knew well, but directly left Wan He there. Waiting until Wan He After reacting, Chai Shao was already chatting with several armored generals. Wan He curled his lips. He had already come in anyway. He was too lazy to talk to Chai Shao anymore. He simply stayed alone in the living room. Start wandering around inside.
This living room is very large. Rather than calling it a hall, it is better to be called a hall. There are already twenty or thirty people in the whole hall, but it still seems very sparse. And the fruits and wine have already been placed on the wine tables of each seat. It's just that the people attending the banquet are all princes and ministers in Chang'an City. It's not yet time for the banquet to begin. Naturally, no one sat down to eat regardless of their status.
Wan He looked at the brightly colored fruits and subconsciously patted the fat mass on his belly. Then he remembered that it seemed that Wan He spent a long time dressing up before setting off today so as not to expose himself, even for lunch. I haven't eaten yet. Now my stomach is growling. Wan He swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He looked around and saw that no one wanted to eat the fruits. He simply moved step by step and sneakily to a table. He looked around. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly reached out and picked a grape. He threw it directly into his mouth. Then he pretended that nothing happened. But he chewed the grape a few times in his closed mouth. He just swallowed it. Fortunately, there were still two pieces of fat hanging on Wan He's face. This prevented him from exposing his skin when chewing.
After tasting the sweetness, Wan He's hunger did not lessen. On the contrary, it became more and more severe. This time Wan He took a fancy to a peach. It was a big, fresh and red peach. Just seeing the peach The blush on the tip made Wan He salivate. He was going to fight for this peach this time.
