Tibetan beads

Chapter 168
No one expected that the autumn banquet for the selection of the crown prince would end like this.

The mastermind behind the scenes, Jiang Yi, fled with an arrow, and Li Da and Wei Si were seriously injured.

The remaining accomplices, such as the top and bottom of the Wei family, as well as Lu Changshi and others who supported him, were captured by Li Wen, who had been prepared for a long time.

The autumn banquet was held grandly this time, and almost all the dignitaries from Dongjiang's famous families came, which happened to be convenient for him to clean up the house.

The matter was not finished for a while, so Xu Yin and others couldn't leave for a while, so they could only find a room to stay with nothing to do.

"Big sister! Third sister!" Xu Ze's voice came from outside, and then he ran in in a hurry and shouted, "Are you all right?"

The two younger sisters turned their heads to look at him, then turned back, one yawned and the other sighed boredly.

"Brother Xu, you are too slow to react, you only came after the matter is over." Yan Ling joked with him while wiping his sword.

Xu Ze glared at him, annoyed: "How dare you say that you told me to bring my own guards just in case, so that I dare not walk half a step away, and I didn't help you at all."

Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "Brother, why do you just listen to him like this? What if he lied to you?"

Xu Ze scratched his head before realizing: "That's right..."

Then he stared over again: "Did you lie to me?"

Yanling laughed out loud.

Xu Yin said something fair: "After all, this is the Dongjiang River. If something happens, of course my family can be trusted."

Xu Ze let out a long breath.So, it's not that he's useless, it's just that it's just in case it doesn't happen.

Soldiers and horses outside came and went until the sun set and finally quieted down.

Li Wen's head guard came over and greeted him politely: "The chariot and horses are ready, please board the chariot and return."

It can be said that they can leave, and several people can't wait to follow them out.

Standing at the garden gate and looking in, I saw that the top floor of the Wangjiang Tower was burnt to black, without the brilliance of when I came here, and it was a decadent scene.

The finishing touches have nothing to do with them, and when they returned to the post, they each washed up and rested.

……

As night fell, Li Wen finally finished cooking and went to see his father.

"Father!"

The concubine returned first, and the king of Dongjiang had already heard what had happened from her.

"Erlang, Erlang actually did such a thing?!"

Li Wen glanced outside, and the others retreated knowingly.

"The facts are in front of us, we cannot tolerate disbelief. Father, the second younger brother has failed your great love."

The eyes of King Dongjiang revealed distress: "Your mother didn't give birth to a brother for you, and you still think about it for your father. This is a blessing. No one competes with you, and you have Erlang Saburo as your assistant... I didn't expect it!"

Li Wen said softly: "The power touches people's hearts. The second brother is ungrateful. It's his fault. The third brother is still good. He was taken hostage by the second brother, and he still has my safety in mind."

King Dongjiang nodded, and asked again: "He also bought Lu Changshi?"

"Yes. The boy has already interrogated him."

The king of Dongjiang showed anger: "My father thinks highly of him, even if Erlang is in power, he can't give him more, so why is he dissatisfied?"

Li Wen sighed: "Father, the hearts of the people are not enough. You gave him the highest status as a civil servant, but he still wants the military power in the hands of Dudu Yang."

The king of Dongjiang laughed back angrily: "Huh? He wants to hold the military and government in his hands. Is he going to be king?"

Li Wen just smiled.Otherwise, how can it be said that power is pouring into the government and covering the sky with one hand?

He stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for his father, and said softly: "No matter what he wants, he has already lost now. Jiang Yi was injured and fled. I have asked Yang Dudu to wait for the opportunity. Father, you can rest easy and recuperate, don't worry. .”

Looking at his son who is in his chest, King Dongjiang showed a gratified smile: "Jiang Yi is injured, and my situation in Dongjiang is very good. Wen'er, you are much better than being a father. Dongjiang is handed over to you, so I can finally rest assured."

Li Wen smiled slightly, and told his father everything about what he had done.

King Dongjiang sometimes nodded and listened, and sometimes gave pointers.

After roughly finishing speaking, the King of Dongjiang coughed twice, and said, "You have done a good job. After cleaning up this time, your confidantes will be in the palace, and there is Dudu Yang outside, so you can rest assured."

"Yes." Li Wen looked at his father's sickly face, with tears in his eyes.Once the emperor has only one courtier, let him take the opportunity to replace his confidant, the father is ready to hand over.

The king of Dongjiang was in a happy mood at this time. Looking at his son's vigorous face, he talked about another matter of concern: "You and Miss Xu must hurry up. In two days, as a father, I will send an envoy to the South Yuan, discuss marriage with Xu Huan. You can get married as soon as you can survive as a father. Otherwise... I'm afraid it will be unlucky."

The tears in Li Wen's eyes couldn't hold back immediately, and he called out in a low voice, "Father!"

The king of Dongjiang smiled: "Thanks to the Xu family's help this time, it can be seen that they really want to form an alliance with Dongjiang. With Xu Huan as your father-in-law, if Dongjiang is in trouble in the future, he will definitely not stand by."

Li Wen responded lightly.

The King of Dongjiang couldn't help thinking: "Ms. Xu was born well, and my son is so handsome. Your child must be very handsome... I don't know if my father will have a chance to see it."

Li Wen held his hand, and solemnly seemed to promise: "Yes, father will definitely see it."

……

After his father fell asleep, Li Wen left the house.

Thinking of what King Dongjiang said, his heart was heavy, and he couldn't help but sighed.

The sigh alarmed the people in the darkness, and Li Guan walked out: "Brother? You haven't gone back to rest yet!"

Li Wen looked at him in surprise: "I should ask you this. It's so late, why haven't you gone back?"

Li Guan scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "I had a dream, and then I woke up. I couldn't sleep for a while, so I went out for a walk."

Li Wen snorted, he was frightened.The third brother is still a child at heart, what happened today was too exciting for him.

He couldn't help but think of that Miss Xu San, who was about the same age next year, but she killed people without blinking an eye.If she hadn't shot today, Jiang Yi might not have been seriously injured.

This will become his sister-in-law, in the future... He thought for a moment and laughed.

This marriage may not be possible yet!

"Brother, do you have something on your mind?" Li Guan looked at his face and asked cautiously, "Is it because of the second brother?"

Li Wen shook his head, originally wanted to tell Li Guan to go back to rest, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

"Third brother, I have a question for you."

"what?"

"Do you think the Xu family's marriage is good?"

Li Guan didn't hesitate: "Of course. Miss Xu is beautiful and kind, no wonder my brother likes her."

Li Wen was startled: "I like... her?"

"Isn't it? I used to pick up and drop off every day, brother, you are not so patient with other girls."

He picks up every day to confuse the enemy...

Thinking of this, Li Wen suddenly became uncertain.

When he picked it up, he didn't seem to think that much.
