Mr. Yangui

Chapter 229 Chapter Twenty-nine
Since Li Wuchang grew up, it should be the first time to give a new year gift in his own name.

Now that he is a viscount anyway, and he is on an errand in other places, he should give some gifts to the family or friends he has made friends with.

In addition to one copy from the Li Mansion, the Zhou Mansion, Han Mansion, Zheng Mansion, Qi Wang Mansion, and Tang Yushi Mansion all gave a copy, and Guo Yunling and Lin Qin each gave a copy as a gift from friends.

Since Lu Ting was kidnapped last time, Li Wuchang felt guilty, so this time he specially sent Cao Hao who participated in the rescue of Lu Ting to the Qi Palace to give gifts, which should be easier to talk about.

"Li Wuchang's annual gift?" King Qi just happened to see the housekeeper accepting the gift, so he asked casually.

The butler bowed his head and said yes.

"Little Cao Hao is the guard of Lord Li, and I send my greetings to King Qi on behalf of Lord Li!" Cao Hao respectfully said.

King Qi nodded slightly and hummed.

Lu Ting also came out, saw Cao Hao, and asked in surprise, "Guard Cao?"

Cao Hao saluted and said, "I have seen Princess Ting."

"Father, this is Cao's bodyguard who did a great job in rescuing me back then, and he was injured." Lu Ting explained the situation to King Qi.

"Oh, you saved this king's daughter? You really are a hero." King Qi sized Cao Hao up and said with a smile.

Cao Hao hurriedly said: "My lord, I dare not be ashamed of you, and dare not take credit for rescuing Princess Ting. At that time, Guard Jiang was the main force who dealt with the madmen, and it was our lord who rescued Princess Ting. The younger one was just It played a little restraining role, and was chopped off by the madman a few times, I am really ashamed."

King Qi nodded.

This young man is a good one, taking credit without pride.

Xuan thought again, Li Wuchang specially sent this young man to give gifts, it's really cunning.

"Will Li Wuchang return to Chang'an City for the New Year?" Qi Wang looked at the gift list and asked casually.

"Returning to the prince, it is true. It is winter, and there are still many problems in our village. The main problem is that many thatched houses have been crushed. Our Lord needs to personally arrange and appease the farmers." Cao Hao answered truthfully.

"Heh, that kid still knows how to care about the people?" King Qi said with a smile.

Cao Hao smiled awkwardly, but did not answer.

"Look at what Li Wuchang gave me." King Qi carefully looked at the gift list.

The gifts are very miscellaneous, there are all kinds of things, mountain products, processed agricultural products, handicrafts, mostly rural things, not luxurious, but quite sincere.

"What is this Wuliangye and Siguoniang? Is it wine?" King Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Cao Hao carefully moved out two wooden boxes, and then opened them. Inside the two boxes were delicate white porcelain bottles with rather small mouths, which were sealed with cork stoppers.

The porcelain vases in one of the boxes were quite large, and there were four of them.

The bottles in the other box are rather small and exquisitely shaped, with twelve bottles in them.

Cao Hao picked up a large porcelain bottle and introduced: "My lord, because of Princess Ting, our lord is very ashamed, so these days we have thought about two kinds of drinks, one for the prince, one for the princess, The little one is holding Wuliangye, a kind of strong wine, I hope the prince will like it."

King Qi grabbed the bottle and said, "The name is interesting, is it made from five grains?"

"My lord is wise!" Cao Hao nodded.

King Qi pulled out the cork, and a strong smell of wine came to his nostrils. Even Lu Ting and the servants who didn't drink much couldn't help sniffing.

It's really fragrant.

King Qi couldn't help but took a sip and said hello, judging in his heart that Wuliangye was more delicious than Erguotou.

"Why are there only four bottles?" King Qi asked with a frown after taking another sip.

"My lord, because the time is relatively short and the wine is quite difficult to brew, so there are not many authentic products. There are only a dozen bottles in total, four bottles for the Li family, and four bottles for the lord. In addition, I gave Mr. Tang two bottles, Han Shangshu Two bottles, Zheng Shilang two bottles, the Zhou Mansion didn't send them because General Zhou was not in Chang'an." Cao Hao explained.

"Yeah!" King Qi nodded, then took another sip, and continued: "Hey, this fool Li Er really has a set, Wuliangye? Tsk, this name is more interesting than that Erguotou."

Lu Ting picked up a small bottle and asked, "This four-fruit brew was given to me by Li Erlian, is it also wine?"

Cao Hao introduced: "Master Ting, our lord is good at four, so he uses four kinds of wild fruits to brew sweet wine, which is not intoxicating and full of fragrance. People are hard to tear down, I hope Princess Ting will like it."

When Lu Ting heard this, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

This fool Li Er doesn't forget to remind people when he brews wine.

"This name is a bit unique. Is it difficult to tear it apart? Does it have any meaning?" King Qi asked.

"It means peace in the world." Cao Hao didn't know what it meant, so he just explained it according to Li Wuchang.

King Qi nodded.

Lu Ting secretly thought, what does it mean that the world is peaceful?snort!
Cao Hao found another strip-shaped wooden box, and said, "Besides, our lord knows that the princess does not want to let a man down, so he personally designed a short knife for the princess to play with."

Hearing this, Lu Ting quickly took the wooden box, opened it, and took out a short knife that looked quite delicate. After examining it carefully, she pulled it out and looked at it a few more times, and said happily: "I am very pleased with this knife." like."

King Qi glanced at it briefly, and muttered: "No sincerity, what's so good about a broken knife, the ingredients are too ordinary, but this four-fruit stuffing should be interesting, let me try the taste."

After finishing speaking, he put down Wuliangye, reached out to pick up a bottle of Siguoniang, pulled out the cork, and poured it directly into his mouth.

Fruity, with a hint of bouquet.

"It's something women drink!" King Qi muttered, then filled the whole bottle, and then smacked his mouth, as if he still had more to say.

Everyone was speechless.

What do women and men drink?

Then you still drink so vigorously?
It looks like you still want to drink.

Sure enough, King Qi picked up another bottle and said: "The bottle is too small, I didn't taste anything just now, let me try it again."

Lu Ting snorted and said, "Father, you have Wuliangye, and Siguoniang is mine."

King Qi said: "There are more than ten bottles here, and yours will be short."

"Okay, I'll give you two bottles, and the rest are mine." Lu Ting was like a child protecting food.

Seeing Lu Ting's cute appearance, King Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"My lord, something serious happened!" Suddenly, a general came over to report, his expression extremely nervous.

"How decent is it to be in such a panic?" King Qi shouted.

The general looked at the servants around him and Cao Hao, saying that it was not appropriate to say anything about it.

"Say it directly, it's okay!" King Qi snorted coldly.

"Yes, my lord." The guard nodded, and continued: "When the old lady of the Zhou mansion and Mr. Zhou went out to worship the Bodhisattva in the temple, a group of masters suddenly appeared, beat up all the guards of the Zhou mansion, and then The old lady and Young Master Zhou have been kidnapped, and it is speculated that the Khitan may have joined forces with the Hanshui Gang and the Tianluo Gang to kidnap the old lady and Young Master Zhou in an attempt to rush to Anle County to threaten General Zhou."

"What did you say?"

Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the matter.

……

It was already the next day when Li Wuchang heard the news.

"The news is still being blocked. I also know some superficial facts. The Dali Temple and the Imperial Guards have masters chasing after them. I don't know where the madmen are, but they must not be far away. They should still be in Yongzhou." Cao Hao roughly After talking about the situation, he didn't stay long in Chang'an City, and came back directly to tell Li Wuchang the news.

The expressions of the people changed greatly.

Grandma is a bear, this group of lunatics are too arrogant.

You know, there are many masters who protect the old lady of the Zhou family and Zhou Chengwang.

"Leng Shao, what should we do? Mr. Zhou is not only our friend, but also our business partner, we can't just sit idly by." Jiang Minglun spoke.

"Of course we can't just sit idly by. Although our strength is low, we still have to do our part. Everyone should use their wisdom and analyze the situation as soon as possible." Li Wuchang said.

Zhao Xun said: "In Jizhou, now that the King of the North Sea is temporarily retreating, General Zhou has become a confidant of the Khitan people. It is very likely that the person who kidnapped the old lady and Mr. Zhou is a Khitan. But if you want to threaten General Zhou, you must kill him." The people pledged to go to Khitan. It has been more than a day now, and people will not go too far. The Huns are attacking in the north, and there are many troops. .”

Jiang Minglun shouted: "His grandma, do you say that the replacement of the governor of Hedong has anything to do with this kidnapping? Disrupting Hedong will make it easier for them to escape."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

Zhai Changping said: "Why don't we go directly to Hedong and see if we can meet luck."

Li Wuchang exhaled, and said: "Fat Xiong took people to Chang'an to find Wenlong, to investigate the most detailed information. Changping Haozi took people to Feng Yicheng, contacted Wang Taishou to keep an eye on the situation. Brother Ming Lunxun followed me directly to Hedong , see if you can do your best.”

This time I really did my best.

It's really infuriating to come out like this when it's Chinese New Year's Eve.

When Li Wuchang and the others rushed to Hedong, they found that there was a lot of chaos in Hedong. There were many people from the rivers and lakes both outside the city and inside the city. Rumors spread all over the place, saying that the governor of Hedong had colluded with bandits, and people were panicked. micro.

"Leng Shao, the situation is not right! Maybe the kidnappers will come to Hedong. The mountain road in Fengyi County is not easy to walk in heavy snow. They may go straight to Fengyi City and then enter Hedong." Zhao Xun analyzed.

"Hedong prefect Wei Tong didn't show up, nor did any other important figures show up. What's going on?" Jiang Minglun couldn't help frowning.

"The situation may be quite complicated, and we can only pay attention here while waiting for news." Li Wuchang has no good way.

In just one afternoon, Cao Hao, who was in Feng Yicheng, came to deliver the news.

Cao Hao reported: "Young master, there are a large number of masters directly rushing into Feng Yicheng. Wang Taishou immediately arranged for people to encircle and suppress them. Chang Ping and Quan Zi are observing further news. I will rush to report the news first.".

Then he said angrily: "I really want to curse, Yan Zhong and those sons and captains from Chang'an City led the crowd to resist for a while, and then he wanted to run away, hiding behind and cowering, with a slap in the face People with a lot of votes just dare not go forward, without General Duan Long this time, the Prefect Wang may not be able to support him alone."

"What the hell? Yan Zhong and a group of sons and captains want to run away again? Why did the court send these cowards to guard the safety of Feng Yicheng." Jiang Minglun cursed.

"Go to Feng Yi immediately!" Li Wuchang decisively issued an order, and then said: "Let's find an opportunity to make a move, don't act rashly, the masters of the imperial court should come soon, the second Feng Yi battle is about to begin, this time it may be all It's elite."
