Records of the King of Xin'an County

Although all the evidence had been reported to the sage, Li Hui and Wang Zixian still paid special attention to the Prince of Hejian.The rest of the people still silently observed the movements of the real and fake kings, and judged whether it was the real king or the fake king who left the palace every day, and then Princess Changning collected the information and brought them back to the palace.As for what kind of arrangement the saint made in secret, and how he planned to kill the beast, that was beyond their ability to ask.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County held a banquet, inviting hundreds of people including the emperor's relatives, dignitaries and nobles to the banquet.Because the concubine of the county is far away in Shengzhou, and her son Li Ren is not yet married, no female relatives are invited.Perhaps because there are no female relatives, the guests are much more at ease. Laughter can be heard from time to time, and silk and bamboo dances are added to the fun. The charming maids shuttle around the banquet with wine pots, like butterflies wearing flowers. fly.

The Shangyuan is approaching, and many people choose to have feasts and fun all night long during these three days.Therefore, many distinguished guests could not stay too late, and left one after another.King Hejian expressed his understanding and sent them out personally.When the rest of the guests got drunk, they all embraced the prostitutes and maidservants and indulged, quite like taking advantage of drunkenness.

Li Tai was also a little reluctant to part with the pretty girl leaning on him.Li Xin called him several times, and Fang Fang help the beauty to stand up sadly.Li Hui glanced at the beautiful prostitute, and supported her grandfather herself, and she stepped aside with a low eyebrow.The next moment, the aggrieved and longing eyes were passed to His Royal Highness Pu Wang, which made him feel more pity.

"Brother Clan, the banquet at home is coming soon, and the three of us, father and son, have to go back home earlier." Li Xin smiled at King Hejian, "It's a pity that I can't continue to have fun with brother Clan, it's really a pity." These are ordinary polite words, but His Royal Highness Sipu's demeanor and words always make people feel very sincere and cordial.

Hearing what he said, King Hejian would not keep him any longer, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's celebrate all night next time. By the way, if Uncle Clan takes a fancy to this beauty, why not take him with him?" Just go back home, and it can be regarded as a gift from me to the uncle of the family. It is just a fun thing, and it will be up to the uncle of the family to deal with it."

Li Tai smiled happily and accepted the gift happily.Of course, the King of Hejian County would not treat Li Xin and Li Hui brothers lightly, and also generously gifted them two beauties, and they were also called beauties in terms of color and demeanor.Li Xin and Li Hui did not refuse. After accepting the gift with a smile, they left in the car with Li Tai.

After returning to the long-lost Prince Pu's Mansion, Li Hui did not attend the family banquet, but changed his clothes and hurried out.Du Jialan felt that he was dressed a little thinly, so he rushed to see him off with the fur coat in his hands.Li Xin squinted his eyes, and followed them to an inconspicuous small door in the back garden. He saw Du Jialan standing by the door with a maidservant, and whispered something to Li Hui, who was wearing a fur coat. What.

Li Hui nodded slightly, raised his eyes to see Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Brother, my house has never raised any beautiful girls, and I don't intend to make an exception because of the King of Hejian County. I'm afraid I won't be blessed to accept that gift, so I will Leave it to brother. I believe that no matter how powerful the fine work is, if it falls into brother's hands, it should be fine." There are not even beautiful maidservants in the palace of Xin'an County, not to mention beautiful maids specially raised to serve guests up.There are three or two tricksters who only know how to play, play, play and sing, and they play silk and bamboo music from time to time to add to the fun.

Li Xin raised his eyebrows: "Don't change the subject. Xuan Qi, are you sure to intervene in this matter?"

"I'm just worried." Li Hui sighed softly, "Maybe it's my intuition, I always feel that this time may not be too smooth...Brother, don't worry, I will act cautiously." While drinking, he almost watched with cold eyes the Prince of Hejian's hospitality in a calm manner, secretly wooing the clan and high-ranking officials and nobles without any strangeness.With such a well-thought-out plan, he couldn't help but think a little more——

After all, this person is a scheming and scheming king of the town's border county, who has been plotting in secret for many years. If Princess Anxing and King Peng hadn't lost control, he wouldn't have revealed his flaws.There is no shortage of capable people under his command, he has also cultivated a huge force, and he may even hide a dark game that can save lives.If you can't witness his death with your own eyes, you always feel that there will be an unexpected turning point in the next moment.

Facing his unwavering gaze, Li Xin could only helplessly say: "Then let's go. I don't really care whether King Hejian lives or dies, but you must be safe and sound." In his opinion, Even the king of Hejian County was very lucky, this time he was able to escape from birth, and even a mere place in Shengzhou could not stop the imperial court's counter-insurgency army.Civil strife will certainly affect many innocent people, but after the imperial court shows its power, it can also suppress many people with evil intentions, as well as those barbarian tribes on the frontier who have hidden rebellious intentions.

Every drink and peck is caused by destiny.The east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested.The rebellion of Prince Hejian may not have been a doomed result, and it may not have been a trial.

Li Hui can also understand his brother's thoughts.However, he hopes that he can do his best to quell a war invisibly.The Mo Dao of the Tang Dynasty should behead the invading enemies, those villains who rebelled from time to time, and turned back on their promises, instead of facing their own clan and comrades.Regardless of whether the internal strife can achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, it has wasted many lives that should not have been ruined, and harmed the originally peaceful and stable homeland.

The steed raised its front hooves, neighed, and then galloped westward in small steps.Surrounded by trusted guards, Li Hui's figure gradually disappeared in the wind and snow that did not know when to blow up.

At the same time, in the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County.The melodious voices and laughter in the main hall remained the same, and the Duke of Hejian personally sent the Duke of Jiangxia out of the door.The young and frail King Jiangxia coughed lightly, and glanced at Li Ren behind him: "Brother, the Lantern Festival is here, can you let Da Lang accompany me to watch the lanterns tomorrow night? He has been detained for so many days. , and occasionally you should let him take it easy."

Hearing this, King Hejian immediately smiled: "Brother Wei and Dalang haven't seen each other for many years, and I just want to spend my life with him. Otherwise, the father and son will be like strangers. How can we tell the princess after returning to Shengzhou?" Confession? However, if the clan brothers don’t dislike it, our two residences can go out to watch the lanterns together. Tomorrow’s Shangyuan banquet in the palace, why not set it up in the next night?”

The light just cast a shadow on Li Ren's face, and no one could see his expression at the moment, nor could he see the slowly clenched fists in his sleeves.Of course, no one would notice that the punctured wound in his palm was already bloody.

"..." Duke Jiangxia's pale face turned a strange color due to coughing.His temperament seemed to be too gentle, so he quickly backed down: "Brother Clan is right. No matter how close I am with Dalang, I can't disturb your father and son's reunion. Then let's go out together to watch the lanterns day and night. My concubine has already ordered someone to set up a lantern tower outside the imperial city, so I can go to watch it together."

"That's very kind! There is no woman in the family who is in charge of housework, and our father and son completely forgot to arrange the Lantern Festival!!"

After King Jiangxia's carriage rattled away, King Hejian turned his head and looked at his son with a half-smile.The side door of the palace closed behind him, as if closing a prison cage again.Li Ren looked at him with trembling lips, feeling that in his eyes, he might be no different from those lowly servants in the mansion or commoners on the side of the road.At this moment, he even began to doubt whether he was his son or the eldest son born to the princess.

"Dalang, you have indeed grown up." The King of Hejian said almost gently, "I can rest assured that I will leave the affairs of Beijing to you." He couldn't erase the coldness and coldness in his eyes.When he looked at his eldest son, it was like looking at an ant.It seemed that whether he was alive or dead had nothing to do with him.

With the last hope, Li Ren plucked up the courage and rushed towards him, hugging his legs tightly: "Grandfather, take the child away. The child wants to go back to Shengzhou, to see A Niang, and to see the brothers and sisters... I don't want to stay in Chang'an alone, I don't want to live alone... Take me away! Please! Please!!"

The king of Hejian County lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Good boy, Shengzhou is bitterly cold, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to suffer? I sent you to Chang'an just to let you live a stable and prosperous life. After these few years, as long as you can survive, I will compensate you."

compensate? !Can he still wait for that day? !

Li Ren was trembling all over, and actually started to cry, tears streaming down his face, pleading, it was sad for those who saw it, and tears for those who heard it.However, King Hejian was unmoved at all.Soon, Bu Qu beside him stepped forward and "teared" Li Ren off his body, knocking him unconscious with a single palm.

In the darkness beside him, another "Hejian County King" suddenly walked out, saluted silently, and then walked towards the main hall full of laughter.The Hejian County King went to the next door to change his clothes, pretending to be a guest with a similar build to him, and then swaggeringly led several parts, and left the County King's Mansion on horseback.

On the second floor of a restaurant in Linbeifang, West City, Li Hui and Wang Zixian were listening to the news of the Hejian County Prince's Mansion in low voices.Guests left one after another, and the banquet continued.Those guests either drove home or drove home, and some went straight to watch the lanterns.At this time, it was the first night when the curfew was lifted, and the people watching the lanterns in Chang'an City were surging like a tide, and they were rubbing shoulders almost everywhere. They would miss their targets in a blink of an eye, and it was not easy to track them down.Although they have hundreds of manpower at their disposal, they are still somewhat stretched for future actions.

At this moment, Wang Zixian's eyes flickered slightly and settled on the street to the north.Among the countless pedestrians and horses, several knights with particularly familiar backs were slowly heading west along the crowd.They are all dressed in the tribal costumes of ordinary aristocratic clans, and their behavior is not abrupt, but one of them has a horse that is rare to see for thousands of miles, and ordinary people may not be able to buy it even if they throw thousands of dollars.

"it's him?"

"it's him."

"Go ahead, just watch from a distance, and you must not easily reveal your whereabouts. Don't forget, you have to participate in the night banquet in the palace tomorrow."

"I can save it." Wang Zixian said with a smile.Seeing that there was no one around in the private room, he turned his head sideways and tapped Li Hui's lips lightly, and it was instantly broken.

The warmth on the lips is still there, but the person has already left.Li Hui looked at his back, suppressed the worries in his heart, and continued to calculate.
