Li Po greeted Li Xiuning and his party outside Jiangzhou City Gate.
Before the escorting soldiers dispersed, Li Xiuning had quietly stretched his neck and looked forward, but he could only see the flag of the sun, moon and stars fluttering in the wind.
Her heart gradually beat faster and faster, as if the war drums on the battlefield were echoing in her ears.
Li Xiuning patted his chest lightly and glanced around. There was only a handsome and outrageous Wei Jie beside him, and Dou Dan was dragging behind him. He didn't know what he was planning.
Finally, the people in front separated like waves, and Li Xiuning couldn't help but look over. The man was riding his horse and standing under the big flag. He was a little far away, so he couldn't see clearly, but the corners of Li Xiuning's mouth were slightly raised, and he finally showed a smile.
.
Although he hadn't said a word yet, and several years had passed since Yun Nei said goodbye, the moment Li Xiuning saw Li Po, he felt extremely friendly, as if he didn't feel unfamiliar at all.
This feeling is extraordinarily wonderful. The so-called confidant in the sea is like a neighbor in the world. This may be the realm. Living in Chang'an, she does not have as many ambitions and distractions as men. I am afraid that she is the best friend who comes to relax with her feelings.
Just words.
Li Po came on horseback with a smile on his face, but there was something real in this smile, only God knew.
When he came closer, Li Po looked Li Xiuning up and down, and said to himself, the girl has changed since she was 18, and the little girl has grown up after not seeing her for a few years, but she doesn't know if she is still as easy to fool as she was back then.
The two looked at each other for a moment, smiles spreading on their faces at the same time.
Wei Jie blinked his eyes beside him and said to himself, it is true that it is groundless. I heard that these two people have a close friendship, and some people even said it was very bad. I saw it with my own eyes today, and I am afraid that these two people are very close.
Brother Li Jing's son-in-law, although he looks a bit ordinary and far less elegant and suave than Wei Jie, his ability to seduce women is really extraordinary.
You know, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, a serious female heroine.
Over there, Li Po already held his hand in front of him as a courtesy and said with a smile, "We haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing, Sanniang?"
Li Xiuning's brows were relaxed, his slender eyes were bent, and he responded with gestures on his horse: "It's been so many years since we've been apart, and there have been so many changes. It's really not easy to meet my eldest brother again here."
Everyone can hear the complex emotions contained in these words.
But Li Po didn't have the slightest bit of disinterest. He rolled his eyes and said, "I told Sanniang that day that as long as I live in these days, nothing else will be a big deal. Don't you think so? Let's go, this is not a conversation.
Here, I have prepared some food and wine to welcome Sanniang."
"By the way, I heard that Dou Sanlang is here too, why are you missing?"
At this point, he turned to look at Wei Jie and smiled, "Did Sanlang Dou change his appearance and become a handsome man?"
It is really different from what Wei Jie thought. This figure who rose from the frontier and is now about to become the King of Hedong does not have such a strong smell of power.
He spoke very casually, and was not at all serious in receiving the enemy's envoys. He quickly closed the distance between them while laughing and chatting, which actually made him feel no resentment or caution.
Well, although the words "handsome man" made him feel uncomfortable, you should know that he is already past that age and is just a little bit better looking. It's too frivolous for you to say that.
And he also dislikes Dou Dan very much.
"I, Wei Jie, the servant of Huangmen, have met the military lord."
Li Xiuning over there felt completely relaxed. She would worry about it later. At this moment, she only felt the joy of meeting her old friend again. She smiled and said: "Brother, please don't joke. Wei Xilang is in a critical position and he is honest and honest."
,and"
Speaking of this, Li Xiuning had a smile on his face and his eyes rolled with a hint of cunning, "Furthermore, Wei Xilang has an old relationship with Li Jing and Li Changshi in my mansion, and we were classmates in Taixue back then. It's a big deal when we talk about it."
Where is the elder brother?"
Li Po bared his teeth. Wei Jie's name in his heart immediately rose from "Little Pretty Face" to "Old Pretty Face". Moreover, he had never seen such a "pretty" old Pretty Face before.
Well, this elder's argument was sound and well-founded, and his thoughts of turning this old white-faced man into a bitter melon-faced person were gone.
As for the official position of Huangmen Shilang, he knew that it was indeed a relatively important position, and since this person's surname was Wei, he was of course a member of the powerful Wei family.
Li Po followed Shan Ruliu, clasped his fists and said immediately: "I have offended many people, uncle Shi, don't blame me."
In fact, Wei Jie was not a man who followed the rules. It was just because he looked so good that when he was in constant trouble, he had a stern face and no longer wanted to greet people with a smile.
Moreover, his friendship with Li Jing was more than just a personal friendship. It was a life-or-death friendship that had been tested by the Chang'an Incident.
After hearing the word "Uncle Shi", the smile on Wei Jie's face bloomed like a spring flower, "The military marquis is so polite."
A few simple words released a lot of goodwill, but it stopped there. After all, they were all envoys of Li Tang, and their duties were in full view of the public. It was impossible to say anything more.
At this time, Dou Dan finally caught up with his head from behind.
He really didn't want to meet Li Po, so he went to Yunnei that day and established a good relationship with Li Po. Afterwards, he also said a lot of good things about Li Po in front of Li Yuan.
But then Li Po took Jinyang and chased him out like a rabbit. Moreover, Li Po also killed his elder brother Dou Jing. No matter in public or private, Li Po was undoubtedly Dou's enemy at this time.
.
If Fufeng hadn't left the whole place in shambles, Dou, as a powerful family member in Fufeng, would have killed several of Li Po's relatives first to vent his hatred.
Li Po smiled when he saw Dou Dan. For such a noble family member who was so arrogant in front of him at that time, he would smile with his face at that time, but now, there is no need to be polite.
"It's really not easy to see Sanlang again. On the day of the battle at Yanmen, I thought I could catch up with Sanlang. However, I didn't want to see Sanlang but I avoided him. Now that I've come to Hedong again, isn't it like throwing myself into a trap?"
Li Po's feud with the Dou family actually started with Dou Jing, and there were not many other connections.
On the contrary, even if Dou Dan did act a bit arrogant when he went to Yunnei, it would be nothing to Li Po. He started from a humble background and made smiles to others many times. If he could remember every one of them
, it is estimated that Yu Chigong, Luo Saner, Wang Lu, Yuen Long and others will all lose their heads now.
And Li Po couldn't marry Li Bi. The person who was most arrogant in front of Li Po back then was actually no one else but his current wife.
So, the reason for turning on the mocking mode as soon as they met was not because of personal grudges at all. Like many things, he needed to express his attitude.
Now that Wei Jie has become the elder, it falls on Dou Dan's head.
This technique is Li Po's usual method, and it is also a way of leaving some leeway for himself and the other party. Of course, this is also a premise from a strategic perspective.
If he wants to send troops south to Chang'an now, Li Xiuning will never appear in front of him, because the general trend is that he will not see any envoy from Li Tang at all.
Dou Dan was beaten, and naturally he was furious. He said in his heart, "Well, Li Ding'an, I haven't said you are treacherous, but you have come to expose my shortcomings first. You really are not a son of a man."
After the incident in Jinyang and tempering in the northwest, Dou Dan has also changed a lot. It can be said that frequent wars are subtly changing the character and destiny of many people.
Li Xiuning is like this, and Dou Dan is no exception.
If it had been back then, Dou Dan would definitely have been at a loss, but at this time Dou Dan just raised his eyebrows and retorted without hesitation: "Sanlang has already deeply felt the love of the military prince, and he knows that the military prince is a good cook.
, I came here this time and brought some treasures as gifts. Unfortunately, I may never be able to taste the craftsmanship of the Marquis again."
Well, what Li Po said was very mean, and Dou Dan was not bad either. If you ridiculed me for running away without a fight, I would ridicule you for being of humble origin and even cooking for me.
When it comes to the harshness and viciousness of their words, the two of them are evenly matched.
But how do you look at this? Dou Dan was very worried about what happened in Jinyang back then, but Li Po didn't feel inferior at all about his origin. The so-called sect view didn't work with Li Po.
The reason is that people of high status are often treated with courtesy, but rough heroes are mostly treated with violence.
This is not due to any other reason, it is just that if he said the same thing to the wrong person, Li Po would definitely not be able to reach where he is today. He might have been buried in the wilderness long ago and no one would care about him.
Li Po laughed and said nonchalantly: "Today is different from the past. There are not many people in the world who can let me cook anymore. If Brother Dou thinks he can afford it, I might as well get a job once.
To reward Brother Dou for his courage."
Dou Dan really wanted to say, if you dare to cook, I will dare to be a diner, but he was not a reckless person after all. He smiled with a smile on his lips, cupped his fists and saluted, "No see you in a few years," he said.
Junhou is still so argumentative, I admire him."
Li Po also laughed, "This is the first time I can make Brother Dou admire me when I first see him now."
This advantage is actually meaningless. Time has passed and the strengths and weaknesses have become clear at a glance. Even if what Li Po said makes no sense at all, few people can argue with him face to face anymore.
Wei Jie blinked his peach blossom eyes and felt very comfortable watching the fun. Naturally, he looked down upon a relative like Dou, not to mention that many members of the Dou family used to bully him in the Imperial Academy.
Li Xiuning frowned slightly at the side. She felt very awkward listening to these conversations. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sure enough, things were different.
Turning his head, Li Po seemed to have just remembered and introduced the people around him.
Needless to say, Pei Shiqing, the governor of Jiangjun County, and Zhao Ying, the governor of Tianshui County. Wen Yanbo, who had just arrived in Jiangjun County, was the only one who accompanied Li Po to greet him.
