Seeing Cheng Yaojin coming on Pegasus, Li Zhi felt happy for no reason.
This elder Cheng was a happy man and a famous and blessed general in the Tang Dynasty. He was severely damaged in Northern Xinjiang last year and later returned to Chang'an with Li Shimin for recuperation.
We hadn’t seen each other for several months, but we didn’t expect that Cheng Yaojin, who was already dying at the time, was jumping to life again, and even his cultivation level had broken through from the original middle stage of "Golden Elixir" to the early stage of "Nascent Soul".
"Hahaha, Old Cheng doesn't like hearing what His Highness the King of Jin said. What does 'Old General Cheng' mean? Am I that old, Old Cheng?"
Cheng Yaojin rolled his saddle and dismounted, and "Sa Lu Zi" ran to the side where the horse was tied, but there was no need to tie the horse up.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Jin's 'Ti Jue', I, Old Cheng, have been practicing for several months and found that this level of cultivation has been rising. It won't be long before the position of the 'Military God' of the Tang Dynasty will be even higher."
Cheng Lai has been sitting here for two days, hahaha——"
When he said this, Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Yaoshi who was standing aside intentionally or unintentionally.
It stands to reason that Li Yaoshi is the most virtuous and respected person in the Tang army. Even Li Shimin does not call him by his name before and after him, but calls him "Brother Yao".
Unexpectedly, this old man Cheng didn’t seem to agree with Pharmacist Li?
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, what happened to these three boys? Were they betrayed?..."
Good guy, is there anyone so good at talking?
"Ahem, Cheng... General, these three are the beloved disciples of Medicine Master. Just now, Medicine Master recommended them to enter the 'Prince Jin's Mansion' to obey orders. I feel that they are overqualified for their talents."
Li Zhi liked the three people in front of him from the bottom of his heart. They were all the pillars of the Tang Dynasty.
However, when he knew who the pharmacist Li standing in front of him was, Li Zhi's thoughts became vivid.
The other party's "I am here" is conveying information to Li Zhi, and it can also be regarded as expressing one's own attitude.
Before Li Zhi could figure out how to deal with it, Cheng Yaojin appeared.
"Haha, Senior Brother Yao made this calculation. I heard it all in Huaidefang, but after all, he was recommending talents for the country."
"A few days ago, my third brother wrote a letter and said that Northern Xinjiang lacks someone to lead the army for him. Prime Minister, I wonder if you have drafted the candidate?"
Cheng Yaojin did not directly make a decision for Li Zhi, but looked at the civil servants who were watching the excitement.
The Tang Dynasty had this problem. Whenever something happened on the border, it must be united and dealt with the outside world together.
Once the situation stabilizes, there will be small fights between civil servants and generals for no reason.
"Haha, when did Lu Guogong be transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Even if it doesn't help, the head of the Ministry of War will come and ask. However, since Lu Guogong asked, in front of His Highness the King of Jin today, I can only tell the truth. It's difficult for me.
."
"There are quite a few generals in Chang'an City, but unfortunately, the right ones, old and young, are all focused on practicing. I see that Duke Lu is in good health, do you think..."
The people present are all mature and mature people, how can anyone be easy to get along with?
"Hey, I, Old Cheng, have been exposed to the wind and sand in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years. I haven't been comfortable for two days just after I came back. Do you want to drive Old Cheng back?"
"Isn't your Lao Fang's heart too dark? What's more, Lao Cheng's two sons are already there, so now we have to leave some opportunities for others to show off, right? For example, if you have apprentices...
."
These old guys were talking nonsense, but Su Dingfang and the other three were kneeling there, neither standing up nor kneeling.
Medicine Master Li had told the three of them about today's events early in the morning. These three people more or less had their own ideas. Unfortunately, in front of their mentor, Medicine Master Li, they could only hold back their big ideas. Among the three people, the one who most wanted to serve under Li Zhi was the short Hou Junji.
This Hou Junji, relying on his two natural flying legs, has made many military exploits since he joined the Tang camp. At the founding of the country, he was named Duke of Lu.
The three of them studied under Medicine Master Li. Su Dingfang was an upright person with the purest temperament, and he could forget all the past events when he practiced.
Pei Xingjian is the smartest person and can often achieve more significant results in practice in the shortest time than the other two.
And this Hou Junji is actually the most talented person. Not to mention his natural pair of scuds, his magical power alone is not weaker than that of Su Dingfang, and he can often make people unable to guard against him.
Hou Junji couldn't calm down. After all these years, his cultivation level has not dropped much, and he has even been able to keep pace with Su Dingfang.
"Mr. Medicine Master, today is my king's happy day. You have given me such a 'big gift'. It is not only my king's good fortune, but also my great fortune. I accepted it shamelessly——"
"Please get up quickly, you three. From now on when you enter Prince Jin's Mansion, you will not be allowed to perform this grand ceremony again. You can just meet each other with military courtesy."
After so many years in this world, Li Zhi is still not used to others bowing down to him, especially in person.
Seeing that Li Zhi was finally willing to spit, the three people on the ground also let out a sigh of relief.
For no other reason than this, this is on the street, and these three are respectable people, kneeling like this for no reason.
Those who didn’t know, thought they had done something criminal and had a thorn stick on their backs.
"Hahaha, Prime Minister, it seems that the problem here has been solved. Regarding the problem in Northern Xinjiang, you should let His Highness the King of Jin lend a helping hand. Come on, let's go in and have a drink with the Supreme Emperor -"
Without any explanation, Cheng Yaojin took Fang Xuanling with his left hand and Wei Zheng with his right hand, and strode towards the "Prince Jin's Mansion".
Li Zhi naturally understood what Cheng Yaojin meant, so he made some jokes and made Li Zhi accept three master disciples, Pharmacist Li, but also pointed out the direction for him without leaving any trace.
Northern Xinjiang is the best place for a general to end up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Is this a distrust of Pharmacist Li? Or is it a reminder to Li Zhi to be wary of his three master disciples?
......
His Royal Highness Prince Jin is getting married. There are not many people who can enter the "Prince Jin's Mansion", but there are not many people who should enter the "Prince Jin's Mansion". As it approaches noon, the most important wave of guests of the day are finally ushered in.
"My son-in-law Li Zhi paid a visit to his mother-in-law, Huaiyu, and quickly went to report to his father and mother, saying that the family of the 'Three Holy Mothers' had arrived."
While Li Zhi paid homage, he did not forget to inform Qin Huaiyu who was behind him.
Qin Huaiyu was the most clever in this kind of thing. He turned around and entered the "Prince Jin's Mansion" and even used his body skills in the mansion.
"Haha, a good son-in-law is free from gifts. You are making me feel better. I have been living in Huashan for half a year."
Fairy Yunhua gave her a little help, and Li Zhi stood up and greeted the people behind Fairy Yunhua.
There are three people standing behind Fairy Yunhua. The first one is naturally the Erlang God Yang Jian. As Yang Chan's biological brother, he will come over no matter what when his sister gets married today.
The person accompanying Yang Jian is naturally the "Roaring Sky Dog", but today's "Roaring Sky Dog" is dressed as a porter.
He was carrying two large items at the front and back, and in front was a large wine vat. This wine vat was so big that it looked like it could hold two hundred kilograms of wine?
Behind it was a food box with three layers, which was very tight. Li Zhi was not lucky enough to use the "Breaking Golden Eyes" to check it out.
"Second brother, you brought your own wine and food when you came here. Do you really think that my 'Prince Jin's Mansion' is just a nest of flowers?"
Seeing the "Roaring Sky Dog" shouldering the burden, Li Zhi laughed and joked.
"Haha, Jiulang, this big vat of wine is the masterpiece of my mother. The 'Baihua Dew' brewed together with the Baihua Fairy is comparable to fine wine and jade liquid, but you can't drink it in the world."
"No, it's just such a big vat. Even Brother Yu didn't let you take a taste. Even the vat was picked out for you. Oh, mother, this is too partial."
"As for the food box at the back, please forgive Brother Yu for holding back. When the banquet starts later, Jiulang and Sanmei will not be embarrassed."
Wow, Erlangshen, who has always been serious, actually showed some control today.
The third person following behind surprised Li Zhi.
"This king's wedding, I don't want to alarm the 'Three Altar Sea Gods', the 'Prince Jin's Mansion' is so honored -"
Li Zhi actually didn't have much contact with Nezha. The two even "discussed" once. The most intimate one was probably the sworn sworn relationship without Nezha.
"Huh, I'm here to attend my junior sister's wedding. What does your "Prince Jin's Mansion" have to do with it?——"
Nezha actually has a serious face, but he already has a baby face, so even if he is really serious, there is nothing to scare him.
Just when Li Zhi was having a "boring" moment, he saw Nezha taking a big step forward and almost coming face to face with Li Zhi.
"You treated that monkey and Second Brother Yang with all your heart and soul, but why are you so polite to me, the second-ranked one? You are still 'the king', 'this king', do you want to show off your authority in front of the second brother?" Nezha lowered his voice. Except for Li Zhi and Nezha, others may not be able to hear what they are saying.
"What? You?..."
When Leng Buding heard what Nezha said, Li Zhi still didn't understand. It must be Yang Jian who told Nezha about their sworn sworn relationship.
"Why, don't you recognize me as your second brother if I don't kowtow with you?"
At the time of the sworn vows, everyone was arranged strictly according to their age. Yang Jian was the eldest, Nezha was the second, Sun Wukong was the third, and Li Zhi was naturally the last.
"How dare I, my younger brother, have seen my second brother——"
Seeing Nezha's behavior, Li Zhi knew in his heart that the other party also agreed with the sworn vows. He didn't even care that it was on the street. Li Zhi bowed to Nezha.
Li Zhi could ignore it, but Yang Jian couldn't. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and a small protective barrier appeared there, trapping the three of them.
"Jiulang, you won't blame the second brother, right? Brother Nezha has been having some troubles recently, and it's difficult to make progress in his cultivation. The second brother couldn't help but tell him about our sworn sworn relationship..." p>
It turns out that last time Muzha, the Hui'an practitioner, was deflated again in Mount Emei, and he could no longer hold his head up whether in front of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva or Guanyin Bodhisattva.
By the way, Li Jing's value in the eyes of Buddhism has also been reduced. Seeing that Buddhism is about to advance eastward, there are many people in heaven who want to move closer to the west.
But Li Jing, a veteran Buddhist spokesperson, is at great risk of being squeezed out at this critical moment.
In order to give himself more leverage, Li Jing actually found Nezha by "seeking medical treatment indiscriminately when he was ill".
There is no way, Li Jing has three sons, the first two are already Buddhists, and it seems that they have not made any achievements in recent years.
This third son, Nezha, is different. Although he is the incarnation of a lotus and has no hope of everlasting wealth, he cannot stop his magical powers, and his reputation can be regarded as well-known in the three realms.
Li Jing actually wanted to let Nezha move closer to the west with him.
Naturally, Nezha would not agree. He even felt that his father must be out of his mind. Otherwise, how could he come up with such a ridiculous idea?
There was once again a big quarrel between the father and son. Even though Li Jing was also in the realm of "Daluo Jinxian", he really was no match for Nezha if he really started to fight.
However, Li Jing is not strong in combat, but he has a magic weapon in his hand!
The Linglong Pagoda was Nezha's nemesis. Li Jing took Nezha in in a rage and kept him in confinement for three days.
If Yang Chan's marriage was approaching and Erlangshen hadn't personally come to the Tianwang Mansion to invite her, Li Jing might not have released Nezha.
Nezha has never avoided Yang Jian's concerns about things like "family scandal". This time, Nezha had already planned to escape from the Heavenly King's Mansion, or even escape from the Heavenly Court.
Yang Jian didn't know how to persuade this good brother for a while, so he told Nezha about the sworn sworn relationship between them, including the real and fake Sun Wukong.
"Second brother, those bald donkeys really don't have any good people. They even plot against people like monkeys? Well, Li Jing actually wants me to move closer to the west, bah——"
After this incident, not only did it fail to make Nezha turn to the West, but it also aroused Nezha's antipathy towards Buddhism.
"Nezha, why don't you go down to the lower world with your second brother? Chan'er's wedding is coming soon. In addition, Jiulang may be able to solve your problem."
Looking at Nezha in front of him, Yang Jian felt unspeakably sad.
I think back then, the two of them were both outstanding disciples of the third generation of Chanjiao, and they both worked in Zhouying. It was common for them to learn from each other.
The two of them advanced to the ranks of "True Immortal", "Xuan Immortal", and "Golden Immortal" together... and entered Taiyi together, ranking in the heaven together.
It's a pity that after Yang Jian broke through to the "Daluo Golden Immortal", Nezha's realm never broke through again. Thousands of years later, he still stayed at the peak of "Taiyi Golden Immortal".
"Kuro? What can he do?"
Nezha is also a proud and arrogant person, but he also has some inexplicable admiration for Li Zhi. It's not that Li Zhi is fierce in battle, but that this person's actions along the way are often unexpected.
At that time, Li Zhi also mentioned this to Yang Jian accidentally, and Yang Jian remembered it in his heart.
Seeing that Nezha was so decadent, Yang Jian first informed them about their sworn vows, which rekindled hope for Nezha's spiritual practice.
"Eldest brother, fourth brother, the three of you couldn't bring me along for the last sworn vows. Today, why don't the three of me do it again? When we see the monkey one day, how about the four of us do it again?"
What else could be done? Seeing Nezha’s eyes finally glowing with excitement, how could Yang Jian and Li Zhi refuse him?
Fortunately, Yang Jian had just put up a protective barrier, and these three people worshiped without restraint on the street in front of the "Prince Jin's Mansion".
"Haha, eldest brother, fourth brother, Nezha, I am so happy today——"
After the three people kowtowed, Nezha jumped so high, and with his dignity, he looked like a child.
"Nezha, it's better for us to keep a low profile on this matter. After all, 'Lao San' is in a special period now. However, I believe that our brothers will be able to stand upright one day!"
After all, Yang Jian is the most calm. Seeing that Nezha and Li Zhi finally recognized each other, he is actually the happiest person.
"Let's do this. On weekdays, I still call my eldest brother 'Second Brother'. As for Second Brother, I call him from Chan'er's side and call him 'Senior Brother'. You can call me Jiulang or Pheasant Nu."
Li Zhi also understood that the matter was serious, and the cover-up in this title was very difficult to pronounce.
The protective barrier dissipated, and no one on either side seemed to notice anything strange?
"My mother-in-law is here, I am so far away to welcome you——"
At this moment, Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wugou came out hand in hand, but it was eldest grandson Wugou who took the lead and took two steps to come to Fairy Yunhua.
The emperor and empress had both come out. Naturally, the middle door of "Prince Jin's Mansion" was wide open, and everyone who was already in the mansion came out together.
"Set off firecrackers and play music——"
No need to ask, this is another masterpiece of Li Zhi.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, firecrackers had not yet been invented, so Li Zhi couldn't live without these when he finally got married, right?
The formula of gunpowder was too simple for him. There were two ready-made cow noses living in the house. Li Zhi told these two people the formula and his own needs.
Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang seemed to have found a treasure. The firecrackers had been set out a few days ago, and these two even secretly let them go a few times.
Now that the mother-in-law of the "Three Holy Mothers" came to visit, the emperor and the empress led everyone to pick her up. Naturally, the news should not be too small.
......
Jin Prince's Mansion, in the Xi Palace.
After repeated humility, Fairy Yunhua still sat in the middle, with Li Shimin, Changsun Wugou and his wife on the left and right.
Who said why the guests and hosts are not seated separately?
Are you kidding? What is the identity of Fairy Yunhua?
The biological sister of the Great Heavenly Lord, in other words, she is the eldest princess of the entire Three Realms. It is like the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty who came to a small city-state in a vassal country. Can you sit down as the guest and host?
Besides, who is the guest and who is the host?
At least for now, the Great Heavenly Lord is the co-owner of the Three Realms. Even the Tang Dynasty in the human world, in his eyes, or in the eyes of everyone, is still under the rule of the Great Heavenly Lord.
"Father, mother, queen, everyone, let me introduce these people first..."
There were at least dozens of people in the main hall. Except for "Princess Jinyang" Li Mingda, Ao Ling, Bai Suzhen, Changsun Pingting and Xue Qian, who were currently accompanying the bride Yang Chan in the back house, the others
Everyone is already here.
Yang Jian and his party of four, namely Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and a few others, had met Yang Jian once in the northern Xinjiang military camp, but the others had never met at all, let alone Fairy Yunhua and Nezha.
Even though everyone had been prepared in advance, when they actually saw me and heard Li Zhi announce his name, there was still a commotion in the hall, and some people almost ran over to pay their respects.
There is no way, these four are all legendary figures. On weekdays, they can only be seen in temples at most. Even the "roaring dog" is known as the number one dog in the three realms, not to mention Yang Jianhe, the god of war in heaven.
Nezha.
In the main hall, several people were in very complicated moods.
First of all, the first one was Pharmacist Li. The old man half-squinted his eyes and was also looking at the "guests" who came in the middle. He was silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
The second one is, of course, Prince Li Chengqian. If anyone is deliberately observing Li Chengqian, they will find that the aura in this person's body has changed from wavering to gradually calming down, and finally sublimating.
"Xuanxian" mid-term?
Well, after Li Chengqian completely let go, his level was actually promoted to a small level?
The third person is the uncle of the state, Changsun Wuji, the person whom Tang Emperor Li Shimin once trusted the most.
The eldest grandson Wuji is really a bit confused. All his hard work over the years has been invested in the prince Li Chengqian.
Even King Li Tai of Wei sent his second son, Changsun Huan, to try to be as foolproof as possible.
Unfortunately, after Li Zhi came back from his "traveling", Changsun Wuji discovered that he was completely wrong, and how wrong he was.
For example, now, when I see someone from the natal family of "Princess Jin" coming, who can afford to offend just these few?
Not to mention Prince Li Chengqian, or King Wei Li Tai, if Li Zhi is willing, even if he is the enemy of the entire Tang Dynasty, these few people in the hall will be more than enough, right?
Not to mention, none of the people around Li Zhi seem to be easy to get along with.
"What have I done all these years?..."
......
"Everyone, today is the day when my little sister comes out of the palace. I don't have any gifts to give you, but I have prepared some food and drinks to spice up today's wedding. Xiaotian——"
After everyone had finished the ceremony, Yang Jian stood up. He was the leader of his mother's family today, so he couldn't let his mother show up, right?
"Howling Sky Dog" heard the sound and moved, putting down the burden on his shoulders, and first patted open the mud seal of the big wine tank.
"This is Tiangong's exquisite brew 'Hundred Flowers Dew'. I hope you can drink more of it, maybe your cultivation can be further improved——"
Wow——
"Good wine, good wine——"
"This...could this be the legendary 'beautiful liquid'?"
"Hahaha, second brother, we must have a good drink today——"
"Everyone, the food box is a bit small and can't hold much. I picked thirty flat peaches at random from the Queen Mother's 'Peach Garden'. I hope everyone can get one."
Wow——
There was another uproar, flat peach?
Of course, the thirty flat peaches Yang Jian brought this time are just the most common "Three Thousand Years Flat Peaches" in the "Peach Garden", but they are also flat peaches!
What's more, there are thirty of them, which is really a big deal——
Well, I attended the wedding of His Highness the Prince of Jin, and there were both "hundred flower dew" and flat peaches. This...isn't this just the same as attending the Queen Mother's flat peach event?
Everyone in the hall is grateful to be here. No high-ranking official can be compared with this generous salary!
Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and Pei Xingjian are standing at the back of the hall. They may be the least present here, but they are extremely lucky at this time.
"You two, I shall serve His Highness the King of Jin to the best of my ability——"
Hou Junji looked around and whispered to Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian.
His voice was very low, but it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear.
......
Just as everyone was marveling, they suddenly heard the voice of the old eunuch Zhang Anan.
"The auspicious time has come for the newlyweds to pay their respects——"
