"Didn't you just bring back a head? Who knows if that was the murderer of General Li? Or maybe he killed some innocent passerby?"
In front of the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, Liu Yanzhen slapped the stone table and said angrily.
"The dean has been staying in the house since he came back yesterday... Should we go and see if something is going to happen?" Jiang Yu frowned and asked with a worried expression.
Yesterday, all the people in Wuyang City secretly thought that Li Danqing would be conferred the title of General Tiance by the imperial court, and everyone in the Prince's Mansion naturally thought so too.
Naturally, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts that Li Danqing had arrived.
Especially Zhou Qiushen, the steward of the Prince's Mansion, his face was glowing all day yesterday. After Li Danqing went to attend the banquet, he was even more busy in the mansion, thinking that once Li Danqing was awarded the title of General Tiance, he would come here.
The congratulatory guests must be very busy.
Although the Prince's Mansion has been in some financial difficulties recently, the old housekeeper thought that he could not disgrace the general.
So I took my old face and went to the best tea shop in the west of the city to buy three kilograms of fine jade piaoxue on credit for the purpose of entertaining guests.
I also found the boss of Fang Yuezhai and tried my best to get a pot of Yufengchun - this wine was a tribute wine from southern Xinjiang to the royal family. It has a refreshing taste and endless aftertaste.
General Li liked this thing the most, and every time he came back from the battlefield, he would drink two of the poison.
In the past, Li Mulin loved to drink, and every year countless people came to the house with this wine to show their preference. However, people left for tea, and today, if they want to get this wine, the old housekeeper has to search carefully on the black market.
But it was worth it in the end. After all, the prince had a future, and there was nothing better than this for Zhou Qiushen in the world.
But no one expected that instead of waiting for General Tiance in his battle robe to "return triumphantly", what was waiting was a drunk and unconscious Crown Prince Li.
The news spread quickly in the royal city, and everyone immediately knew what happened at the banquet.
Obviously, Li Danqing went from being a popular general to a huge joke overnight.
…
Jiang Yu's words made everyone a little worried.
I was hesitating whether to go see Li Danqing and what to say after seeing him.
Xia Xianyin suddenly said: "No need to go, let him be alone."
For a moment, everyone really couldn't think of any good way to comfort Li Danqing, so they could only nod silently after hearing this.
"How about we leave Wuyang City..." At this time, Song Tong'er beside him suddenly said.
After hearing this, everyone also turned their heads to look at her. Song Tong'er took a deep breath and said, "The emperor clearly doesn't want to see us. Li Danqing has made such great contributions in Youyun, so he made him a young man."
Fu, you are still responsible for teaching two young children, isn't this humiliating?"
"In this case, it is better not to stay here any longer. Be it Yaoxu City or Yingshui County, who stipulates that we must stay here?"
Although Song Tong'er's words sounded a bit angry, they were rough but not rough.
Xia Xianyin raised her eyebrows,
Looking at Qingzhu on the side, he said: "Qing...Senior Sister Wenjun, do you think you should persuade Li Danqing to leave Wuyang City first..."
"With Li Sheyuan in power, the court has no scruples about Li Danqing."
"Li Danqing ruined the Ying family's affairs in Yangshan. I heard from Master that he seems to have caused trouble for the Demon Suppression Division in Sihai City. If they seek revenge..."
Xiwen Jun glanced at Xia Xianyin, thought for a while, but still shook his head: "The prince will never leave."
"Why?" Xia Xianyin asked with some confusion.
"Why did you go back to Wuyang City in the first place?" Qingzhu asked.
Xia Xianyin was stunned for a moment and suddenly woke up. At that time, she frowned and said with a worried look: "But his situation is much more dangerous than mine."
"Don't worry, he understands that no matter what decision he makes, he must have his reasons. Moreover, even if he does not have the official position of General Tiance, after all, he still has the merit of resisting Youyun's foreign enemies, at least in a short period of time.
No one dares to really hurt his life." Qingzhu said with relief.
Xia Xianyin, who knew Li Danqing's temperament well, could only nod helplessly when he heard this.
"Hmph! How will today be written in the history books a hundred years from now?"
"That little bastard is wrong in all kinds of ways, and he has made great contributions to Wu Yang. He treats his meritorious ministers like this and humiliates him in every possible way! This is something that has never happened since the founding of Wu Yang!"
In front of the wooden table nearby, Shi Ziju, who was playing chess with Lu Shude, was probably getting more and more angry as he thought about it. He suddenly threw out the chess piece in his hand and said angrily.
Lu Shude glanced at the displaced chess pieces on the chessboard, and calmly changed the positions of the chess pieces that were being surrounded, and then picked up the chess pieces that Shi Ziju had thrown on the chessboard, and said with sincerity: "He Qian Ren
He is so strong that the breeze blows on the hills."
"Teacher, you still need to practice your energy-raising skills. Come on, let's play chess."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. He can defeat even 400,000 Youyun troops. He is just a clown, and his pride is only temporary."
Shi Ziju snorted coldly when he heard this: "Humph, will I worry about that little bastard?"
"I'm just angry with the people in Wuyang City for confusing right and wrong!"
Shi Ziju has always been tough-talking, so he naturally refused to admit that he was worried about Li Danqing. After saying this, he lowered his head and looked at the chessboard, and immediately frowned: "This chess... is wrong."
Lu Shude blinked his horns, looked at Shi Ziju, and asked, "What's wrong? It's your turn!"
"This chess move is wrong! Just now my black stone was here, and you were here with the white stone. How could you, an old boy, secretly exchange stones without respecting martial ethics?" Shi Ziju was furious.
"You can't slander others. I'm a scholar, how could I do such a thing!" Lu Shude refused to admit it.
At this moment, the two old men were arguing over where the chess pieces should land. They watched them roll up their sleeves, stand up, and were about to take action...
Squeak.
Suddenly there was a soft sound from the door not far away.
Whether it was Xia Xianyin and others who were worried, or the two old men who were arguing endlessly, they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the door at this time, their eyes a little nervous.
I saw Prince Li stepping out of the door at this moment. He stretched out as usual.
Then he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Good morning."
His expression was calm and his attitude was gentle, seemingly no different from every morning in the past.
Everyone was stunned and did not respond to Li Danqing's greetings.
Li Shizi didn't seem to care, turned around and looked at Zhou Qiushen not far away, and asked: "Uncle Zhou, what are you eating this morning?"
Zhou Qiushen, who was still in a daze, was excited when he heard this, and hurried forward and said: "What does the prince want to eat? Braised shrimps from Fang Yuezhai? Roast duck from Beihu Tower? Or peach cake from Xicheng Duzi Shop? I'll buy it right now.
…”
Although Zhou Qiushen and Li Danqing are nominally masters and servants, in reality Zhou Qiushen is more like an old mother who takes good care of Li Danqing and is somewhat doting on them.
In his opinion, he was deeply distressed by the setback Li Danqing suffered yesterday, and naturally wanted to do his best to make up for it.
Li Danqing stopped when he heard this and looked at Zhou Qiushen with a strange expression.
"Who wants to eat something so greasy this early in the morning? Just bring me two steamed buns."
"Besides, doesn't the family have no money?"
"My young master's monthly salary is only forty taels, so it's better to be more frugal."
Li Danqing's seriousness made Zhou Qiushen confused for a while whether his eldest son really cared about him, or whether he was so sad that he lost interest in food.
"Uncle Zhou, why are you looking at me? Go get it." Li Danqing seemed to have noticed Le Zhou Qiushen's strange expression, he smiled and urged.
Seeing this, Zhou Qiushen did not dare to ask Li Danqing's thoughts in detail. He could only nodded and walked quickly to the back room.
After Zhou Qiushen left, Li Danqing turned his head and looked in the direction of the pavilion. Everyone's eyes fell on him, and they couldn't help but raise their brows, and his trademark mean look appeared on his face.
Smiling, he asked: "I know that my prince is naturally beautiful, but even if you covet her, you have to restrain yourself a little. If you look directly at her like this, I will be shy."
In the past, such shameless remarks would have definitely attracted criticism from everyone, but at this moment, everyone who was worried about Li Danqing had no intention of quarreling with Li Danqing.
"Dean...are you okay?" Jiang Yu couldn't control his temper the most, and asked with a worried expression at that time.
Li Danqing blinked and asked in confusion: "What can happen to me? I am still so handsome and charming."
"But..." Such words obviously could not make everyone put aside their doubts. Jiang Yu frowned and asked what else.
But at this time, Zhou Qiushen came out with two steamed buns and a bowl of lean meat porridge: "Your Majesty..."
He was about to say something, but Li Danqing reached out and took two steamed buns from his hand and said, "I won't drink the porridge anymore. I'm leaving first."
After Li Danqing said this, he took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand and walked quickly towards the door of the house.
Seeing this, everyone became more and more confused: "Where is the dean going?"
Faced with everyone's obviously worried questioning, Li Danqing waved his hand, holding the steamed bun in his mouth, and replied vaguely: "Take care of Ji Qi's little bastard!"
After saying this, Prince Li left the mansion in a hurry, leaving everyone in the mansion looking at each other, not knowing why.
