Chapter 464: Entering the city(1/2)
The arrival of the people from Dongxuan Territory did not stir up Li Ye's mood at all, but it made the eldest prince look at Li Ye with new eyes.
After learning the cause and effect of the incident, the eldest prince also sighed: "Even I, if I encounter such a thing, I would like to give him a good beating to relieve my hatred."
"Then what?" Li Ye looked at him and smiled lightly.
The eldest prince was stunned and did not reply.
"Then push him helplessly in front of the Second Prince and the others, and then we put more effort into fighting them?"
Li Ye was thinking about how to solve the mess in the imperial city as soon as possible and return to the mountain to continue practicing.
The eldest prince was startled, looked at him and said, "You are considerate and ruthless. How about you be the emperor and I be the prince, and you don't have to worry about anything!"
When Li Ye heard this, he laughed angrily, pointed at him and replied: "You are so beautiful!"
"What do you mean?" Although the eldest prince is a prince, he has not read as many books and knows as much unofficial history as Li Ye.
Seeing the sincere look on the eldest prince's face, Li Ye couldn't bear to tease him and said softly: "I mean, you are already very beautiful, so stop thinking about being beautiful!"
When the eldest prince heard this, he sighed again and said seriously: "I said it would be a waste not to be the emperor of the five regions. No wonder my father wants you to protect me."
The way of thinking is that a person will not be tempted even if the throne is placed in front of him, so how can he have thoughts of harming himself?
"My sister is devoted to you wholeheartedly. Don't let her feel wronged. Neither she nor I will mind how many wives you have!"
The eldest prince thought of his sister, stared at him and said seriously.
"The cavalry from these three towns have just left, we haven't settled in, and the mess in the dynasty hasn't been cleaned up yet, so you tell me about your children's affair?"
Li Ye asked.
The eldest prince ignored him and just nodded heavily to him.
That clearly means that I will not marry my sister unless you are the one.
Li Ye felt very headache looking at him, pointed at Xichuncheng and said: "I told people that you would marry her as your wife, but you can't let them down. She didn't go back to the grassland with Yelu Chucai."
The eldest prince was startled, pointed at him and cursed with a smile: "Master, you...you actually worry about my marriage?"
Li Ye stared at him and said seriously: "The emperor has entrusted you to me. I don't worry about your marriage. Who will worry about it? Who can worry about it? Who dares to worry about it?"
Li Ye ignored him and continued: "She is a princess on the grassland. She is well-educated and beautiful. She mainly likes you. In order to be close to you, she has lowered herself to live in this military camp. What else do you want?"
"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Your sister invited her to go back to the imperial city with us. She wants to fight all the way back with us!"
Li Ye looked at him with a smile. "I will leave her safety to you. This is my guarantee to Yeluqi."
The prince stared at Li Ye, too stunned to speak.
"It's the same as my promise to your father that I will protect you and Princess Wutong!" Li Ye looked at him with more and more satisfaction, as if he had seen Yeluyan become the queen.
"Master Imperial Master, you are so cruel, you decided my life so hastily!" the eldest prince pretended to be sad.
"I'm already very benevolent, so just put away your shameless thoughts. I won't interfere with the emperor's concubine after you do it, but the empress must be Yeluyan!"
"Why?" The eldest prince looked at him and asked
"Because I like it! Because in a sense, I am your parent." Li Ye looked at him and smiled as he looked helpless.
...
"We will return to the imperial city after harvesting the food in the fields. How will the guards of the three towns be arranged?" The eldest prince looked at Li Ye and asked.
Li Ye thought for a while and whispered back: "In principle, the guard generals of the three towns will remain unchanged. If the general dies, he will be replaced by the deputy general. Because their home is in southern Xinjiang, they can rest assured when they are stationed here, and we can rest assured."
The eldest prince nodded and replied: "I think so too."
"Don't rush to arrange the affairs of the three town lords. After settling the matter in the imperial city, send Yang Kaiyi and Zhuge Ming to the imperial city and discuss it in detail."
Things in the three towns cannot be taken lightly. After all, Li Ye and the eldest prince have worked hard here, and they are still related to the stability of the next few decades.
"Let the garrison generals of each city take over for the time being until we have settled the matter in the imperial city." The eldest prince agreed to Li Ye's arrangement.
If he asked who else in the world was thinking about him, in his heart, apart from his mother and sister outside the imperial city, it was this guy in front of him who was as close as a brother to him.
"Nacheng, I have notified Xiaguan and Kaiyang that we will enter the city at 10 o'clock tomorrow and we will officially take over the three towns." Li Ye looked at him and said seriously.
...
At Chen time the next day, Li Ye and the eldest prince entered the city with a large group of soldiers from outside Xichun City. When they arrived at the city lord's palace, Yeluqi, who was waiting for the handover, had already prepared refreshments and sat in front of the hall with his sister to wait for Li
night.
Tang Qiuyu led Xia Wutong and Mu Mu to follow Li Ye.
Only the eldest prince shuffled his steps and stared at Xichun City under the eaves, looking thoughtful.
Yeluqi looked at Li Ye and asked, "He is the Generalissimo?"
Li Ye was startled, turned sideways and whispered something to him, then looked at Yeluyan with a smile.
Yeluqi was overjoyed and hurriedly walked out of the hall, holding the eldest prince's hand and walking inside.
"The Generalissimo is here in person, but I didn't come far enough to welcome you. Please forgive me!" Yelu Qi, a smart man, never mentioned what Li Ye said.
After the group of people sat down respectively, Yeluqi said: "Let's have a good drink tonight, and tomorrow I will take the remaining brothers back to the grassland."
"Who will be responsible for contacting and managing matters in the three towns in the future?" According to Li Ye's discussion with Yeluqi, the grassland tribe will send several people to the three towns to be responsible for the management of the grassland merchants.
"This matter is not urgent. We will bring people over when the Xichun trading market opens next spring." Yeluqi looked at the eldest prince and replied.
Li Ye stood up, walked around and then came back, looked at Yeluqi and said with a smile: "You are quite particular and didn't empty this place!"
Yeluqi looked at him for a moment, and it took him a while to understand. He laughed angrily and said, "I don't have anywhere to put a lot of things here when I move them back. The place with grass and water is our home!"
Li Ye looked at him and was startled. When he remembered that it was indeed the case, he couldn't help but smile and said: "That's true. Do you want to stay and go to the imperial city with me?"
Yeluqi shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "I handed my sister over to you, you have to protect her."
Li Ye nodded, glanced at the eldest prince, turned around and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, Your Highness Yelu, do you not respect martial ethics? Are you just watching me fight and not helping?"
Yeluqi looked at him with disgust and smiled: "This is not a fight, but a war, okay? You'd better take care of yourself!"
After speaking, he looked at the eldest prince and said, "I don't know when it will be convenient for the generalissimo to come to our grassland as a guest. He will definitely entertain you warmly!"
After hearing this, the eldest prince couldn't help but blush, and said sarcastically: "The days are long, don't be in a hurry."
Li Ye glanced at Mu Mu, and Mu Mu, who understood instantly, stood up and took Yeluyan's hand and said, "Princess, please take me to the city for a walk. I'm bored to death by staying in the wilderness outside the city every day."
After saying that, he looked at Wutong again.
"Master, my disciple also goes with the princess to hang out." How could Xia Wutong not understand what Mu Mu was thinking.
Before Tang Qiuyu could reply, the two of them pulled Yeluyan out and left.
Seeing Mu Mu pull Yeluyan away, Li Ye chuckled twice, looked at the two of them and said, "We are all a family from now on. If you have anything to say, say it now. It won't be easy in the future."
The blush on the eldest prince's face has not disappeared yet, and Li Ye generals another army.
Seeing the embarrassed look on the eldest prince's face, Yeluqi smiled and said, "Don't mind, marshal, I am used to it casually with the Imperial Master. Please forgive me."
The eldest prince looked at him and replied: "Where."
Li Ye knew that he was shy, so he did not embarrass him. Instead, he looked at Yelu Qi and said, "Our trip back to the imperial city is somewhat risky. You should think about it carefully."
When Yeluqi heard this, he patted his chest and said: "How can we, the children of the grassland, be afraid? No matter how dangerous the place is, it can't be as big as the big battles we fought, right?"
"No way!" Li Ye nodded, thinking that if he had to deal with the defenders of the imperial city and the effort of dealing with the prairie cavalry, he might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill them.
"Why didn't you see General Nalan today?" Only then did Yeluqi realize that there was one person missing in the room.
"I asked him to go to Xiaguan and have a look. After all, a market will be built there." Li Ye wanted Nalanyu to go and see the situation, and then call Wang Tianhua and the others back.
After all, there are still people to use on the way back to the imperial city.
Although the eldest prince and Yeluyan didn't talk much, and they didn't meet too many times, under Li Ye's careful arrangements, both of them had a slight affection for each other.
Seeing his brother-in-law right in front of him, he, who was usually very talkative, couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Li Ye and Yelu Qi were very familiar with each other. He didn't care about the eldest prince's thoughts at the moment. He looked at Yelu Qi and said, "Don't worry, I have already given the safety of your sister to the generalissimo."
It means that I have made this matter clear!
Seeing that the prince was shy, Yelu Qi couldn't say anything further, so he just replied to Li Ye: "Next summer at the latest, we will come to the imperial city to visit you two."
Unexpectedly, Li Ye shook his head and said with a faint smile: "At that time, I might not be in the imperial city anymore. You can go directly to the Grand Marshal, or find Nalan Yu first."
In Li Ye's plan, the troubles in the imperial city will be solved this winter, and in the spring he will help the eldest prince solve some hidden dangers. In the summer at the latest, he will return to Fengyun City.
His practice was repeatedly delayed, and he was more anxious than anyone else.
"Is the imperial master going to leave the imperial city?" Yeluqi did not expect Li Ye to say this.
Li Ye looked at him and sighed softly, and said with a smile: "I am different from you. I am determined to practice, and I have wasted a lot of time in the world."
The eldest prince looked at his decisive look and couldn't help but sigh. "Is there anyone in the world who can retain the Imperial Master? I'll invite her here."
Li Ye turned to look at him and smiled: "Who else in the world can let me stay for one year except you?"
But neither can my parents, husband, or sister, let alone others.
Even when Mu Mu learned that she was going to Fangcun Mountain, at most she just shouted to go together.
The path of spiritual practice is like sailing against the current. He had heard this from his teacher when he was very young.
