Chapter 61 Golden Calendula Silver Terrace

After the prince of Shu and his group of people left, people began to disperse. Xue Lingfeng then said to Yang Ning: "Don't the prince of Shu know the prince of Shu?"
"Why do I want to know him?" Yang Ning said frivolously: "Does not do anything to do with each other. Even if you know each other, you will not have any friendship."
Xue Lingfeng smiled and said, "The prince's temperament is very similar to that of the general." When talking about Qi Jing, Xue Lingfeng's eyes looked slightly dim. Without waiting for Yang Ning to speak, he said, "The martial law in the city has been strictly regulated recently. If the prince does not have anything important, try not to go out."
Yang Ning knew that Xue Lingfeng was for his own good, and thought that this Tiger God Camp was also considered a resource left by Marquis Jinyi, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for your care, Uncle Xue, I've recorded it."
Xue Lingfeng showed a slight relief, and did not say much, so he took his few men to leave.
As soon as Xue Lingfeng left, Lei Yonghu had already come forward, with a little more respect than before, and bowed: "Shi... Prince, you may not stay here for a lot of ladies. She said she would come back to thank you."
Yang Ning had also discovered that the woman had left with her child and said with a smile: "It's a simple task, no need to worry."
"This is not a slight effort." Lei Yonghu said seriously: "That is the prince of Shu. If he really bumps into our young master, he... he may not be able to commit suicide."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Rong's voice was already heard beside him: "Brother, you really offended the King of Shu this time."
"Why, Brother Yuan is afraid?" Yang Ning glanced at Yuan Rong, thinking that you were afraid of the King of Shu just now, and he must have been afraid of the King of Shu. He said angrily: "That Prince of Shu is whipping you with a horse whip in the street. I think you must not care. It seems that Brother Yuan is really broad-minded."
Yuan Rong naturally heard Yang Ning's mockery, but just smiled without saying much.
Lei Yonghu thanked Yang Ning again and again, and then he took the people away. Yang Ning couldn't help but ask Yuan Rong: "Which mansion is this Lei Yonghu from?"
"I haven't seen it before." Yuan Rong shook his head and said, "But he had just led the Kyoto Prefecture Office to come over. He was not from the Kyoto Prefecture Prefecture Office, so he should have something to do with the Ministry of Justice."
"Oh?" Yang Ning thought to himself that there were officials everywhere at the foot of the emperor, and he could make grudges with other officials if he accidentally did not.
Suddenly, he thought of something and swept his eyes. Yuan Rong saw Yang Ning searching everywhere and said strangely: "Who are you looking for, brother?"
"I... I seemed to have bumped into someone before, and it seemed to be a woman..." Yang Ning only saw people coming and going on the street and frowned: "I didn't see clearly at that time, and I always apologized to others."
Yuan Rong laughed and said, "Brothers don't look like people from the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion, but like people from our Ministry of Rites. He just forced the prince of Shu to apologize in public, and now he is thinking about apologizing to others. My old man knows that he will praise his brother very much."
"By the way, what is the origin of the Prince of Shu? How dare he be so arrogant in the important places of the capital?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "Who is Mr. Ximen?"
In fact, he was even more curious about Mr. Ximen, the prince of Shu. Mr. Ximen threw him several meters away easily. His martial arts were of great strength and he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Yuan Rong whispered: "The King of Shu is the King of Xichuan. For nearly a hundred years, the Li family has been in charge of the land of Xichuan. To this generation of Shu, the Li family has become the fourth generation of Shu. However... Today's King of Shu Li Hongxin is a truly titled king by the court. The previous generations have only proclaimed themselves as kings."
Yang Ning frowned and said, "In this way, is Li Hongxin the King of the Xichuan vassal?"
"This is my private conversation with my brothers. Although the land of Xichuan is also the territory of my Great Chu, Li Hongxin is the local emperor of Xichuan." Yuan Rong lowered his voice and said, "If you want to talk about this Li Hongxin, you actually have a lot of connection with your family."
"Is there any connection with our family?" Yang Ning became interested, "How do you say this?"
Yuan Rong smiled and said, "It seems that my brothers don't know much about the glory of your family in the past. After our Great Chu and the North and South division of the North and South, Xichuan in Bashu became a heart-wrenching problem for the court. More than 20 years ago, your old Marquis of Jinyi was still alive. Li Hongxin's father had just passed away. The situation in Xichuan was unstable. The court immediately mobilized 100,000 troops and used the old Marquis of Jinyi as the commander to prepare to attack Xichuan."
"Grandfather was invincible in command of the army!"
"That's natural." Yuan Rong smiled and said, "The old marquis passed through the obstacles and killed the generals. Although it was not as powerful as it was, it was very smooth."
"Since that's the case, why can the Li family in Xichuan survive to this day?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "How can the Li family still be the local emperor in Xichuan?"
"While Li Hongxin was still mourning, our army arrived. Li Hongxin immediately dispatched troops and generals. The Li family was deeply rooted in Xichuan, and they had tens of thousands of troops to resist." Yuan Rong said: "The Xichuan land is high in mountains and ridges, and there are many dangerous places. Although Li Hongxin was young at that time, he was very good at using troops and dispatched troops to guard important places. It is said that he also took out all the gold, silver and jewelry saved by generations of the Li family to encourage the Sichuan army to defend the enemy. The more the old marquis attacked the hinterland of Xichuan, the more difficult the war would be."
The road to Shu is difficult, but it is difficult to reach the blue sky. The Chengdu Plain of Xichuan is surrounded by mountains and is in it. It is not easy to fight out, but with the natural barrier, it is naturally extremely difficult to get into it.
"In the Battle of Xichuan, both sides suffered losses and generals. However, Xichuan wanted to fight against our Great Chu in a corner, which was also a delusion. If you really want to continue, the old marquis would always be able to pacify Xichuan." Yuan Rong said slowly: "The court was determined to pacify Xichuan. The old marquis used troops to Xichuan for more than half a year and approached Chengdu step by step. It was obvious that Chengdu would fall sooner or later. At this time, the Northern Han people helped the Li family in Xichuan a big favor."
"Beihan?"
"Yes, when the Northern Han saw the imperial court using troops in Xichuan, he thought it was a great opportunity and sent troops south." Yuan Rong smiled and said, "My great Chu soldiers were in Huai River. As far as I know, the imperial court did not want to give up the victory that was within reach of Xichuan because of the invasion of the Northern Han people. He was ready to resist the waters and defend the Huai River first, take down Chengdu first and then advance north." He smiled, "But Li Hongxin had already reached the end of the country, and suddenly stopped and surrendered to the court. The war on the Huai River was in a tight position, so the court also approved Li Hongxin's request to surrender, granted him the title of King of Shu, and dispatched troops to the north."
Only then did Yang Ning understand the whole story and said, "So that's it, but this Shu area was not completely removed."
"So the Li family in Xichuan has no good impression of your Qi family." Yuan Rong said softly: "In the Battle of Xichuan, the Chu army killed many Li Hongxin's relatives, and the Sichuan army also injured many soldiers under the old marquis. Since then, your Qi family and the Li family have disliked each other." He looked around and whispered: "Xue Lingfeng, the tiger god camp, is your father's old subordinate. His father also followed the old marquis Jinyi to attack Xichuan, and was injured because of this. He was blind. Do you think Xue Lingfeng can be polite to the Li family in Xichuan?"
Yang Ning suddenly realized that no wonder Xue Lingfeng was quite biased towards him today, and Mr. Ximen was wary of Xue Lingfeng. It turned out that the two sides had long had grudges.
Yuan Rong had to explain more, but suddenly saw Yang Ning looking at a place, staring blankly, and couldn't help looking at him. He saw Yang Ning looking at a flower shop diagonally opposite. He knew that Yang Ning must have been attracted by the flower shop on the street. After taking a closer look, he found that there was a woman who was enjoying flowers outside the store, wearing a water-green shirt, dressed very ordinary. The woman's skin was not very white, but she had a small and jasper-freshing temperament.
Yuan Rong immediately laughed, leaned close to Yang Ning's ear, and whispered: "Did you like that girl? Your eyes are good, this little girl is very smart."
Yang Ning gave Yuan Rong a blank look and then walked over quickly. Yuan Rong said anxiously: "Why are you so anxious? Brother Ning, you can't chase a woman too directly. I'll teach you first." Then, "Are you going to the Marquis of Wuxiang? I said, do we still want to go?"
Yang Ning ignored it at all. When he walked through the street and arrived at the flower shop door, a fragrance of flowers came to his nose, refreshing. This flower shop was like other flower shops. There was a flower shed in front of the door. The flowers were blooming brightly. The flower seller was an old man. The wrinkles on his face were like the soil in a flower pot, full of vicissitudes. When he saw Yang Ning coming over, he immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Criminal, do you want to buy flowers? There are all top-notch famous flowers here, please take a look."
Many people saw Yang Ning's previous conflict with the Prince of Shu, and many people already knew Yang Ning's identity. The incident happened nearby. The old man selling flowers was also a onlooker before. At this time, he was quite happy to see Yang Ning coming over. However, there were many high-ranking officials and important officials in the capital, and there were many princes who were shuttled through the street market. Although Yang Ning was the prince, people naturally became commonplace in the capital.
"I'll take a look." Yang Ning smiled slightly, walked to a flowerpot, only a few steps away from the woman. After looking at her, she saw that the woman was elegant and elegant. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and was wearing a light dress, but it was very consistent with her appearance without makeup.
"Criminal, there are purple gold plates, dicui Towers, white jade ice here, and there is a red tree inside. It is the treasure of my store." The old man introduced attentively: "If the prince is interested in it, I will send someone to the mansion and place it in the mansion. It will definitely look good. The prince will give it a few dollars."
Yang Ning said "Oh" and thought that the flower seller would give a name. If these elegant names were called, they would attract attention.
The old man said, and introduced that the purple gold plate, purple flowers and golden edges, and the petals of the stacked greenhouse were overlapping. As the name suggests, the flowers are pure white, and they are all competing for beauty. Unfortunately, Yang Ning knew very little about flowers. When the old man said that, he pretended to nodded, not knowing what kind of flowers it was. He secretly glanced at the woman and saw that the woman was watching a plate of flowers at this time. The buds were golden, but the petals were pure white.
