The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 407 Friendship
As early as many years ago, when Concubine Yang Shu was taken into the harem by His Majesty Li Er, she herself knew her identity very clearly. She was the daughter of Emperor Sui Yang. impossible.

So for so many years, Concubine Yang has always been cautious in her words and deeds, and she has always taught Li Ke not to have unreasonable thoughts. Even if His Majesty loves you very much, don't touch that year, otherwise, catastrophe will be imminent .

Concubine Yang is a smart person, he knows what the bottom line of the courtiers is, so Li Ke has listened to Concubine Yang's words since he was a child, and has been conscientious, not daring to overstep the threshold.

Thinking about how cautious his mother and concubine lived in the palace, Li Ke felt unspeakable, so he tried his best to be mediocre on weekdays, and he was down-to-earth. Let her mother and concubine worry less about herself.

After the first day, Li Ke never entered the palace again, and kept it with him in the mansion, dealing with the affairs of the fief. Unlike Li Tai, Li Ke was able to have a domestic affairs expert like Du Chuke, following Li Ke's long history , Concubine Yang personally asked His Majesty Li Er to come, and the remaining people in the Wu Palace were all brought out by Li Ke from the army over the years. The children lived on their own, so Li Ke brought them back to Chang'an's mansion, and did some miscellaneous things within his ability on weekdays, which can be regarded as self-reliance.

Even on the first day, there were not many people coming and going to the Prince Wu's mansion. Firstly, Li Ke didn't like to make noise, and secondly, the people in Chang'an City felt that this prince was dispensable to him.

To put it bluntly, it is not enough to attract attention, and it can only be said that Li Ke is too low-key on weekdays.

So, when Li Chengqian and Li Tai arrived at the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion in a carriage, they saw such a closed gate.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai got out of the carriage, and the accompanying young eunuch took the thorn and quickly walked to the guard at the door, and handed the thorn out.

The guard at the door bowed slightly, took the famous thorn and ran all the way, and entered the mansion through the side door.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei are here to visit." The guard ran all the way to the front hall, bowed and handed the famous stab in his hand to Li Ke.

Li Ke took the famous thorn, opened it and tapped it, and smiled: "Okay, this king knows, let's step back."

"Yes." The guard responded, then turned and walked out the door.

Li Ke got up, went back to the room, changed his clothes, and went outside the mansion.

"You two are free today." Li Ke walked out of the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion with a smile on his face.

"It's not free. Gudu has been bored in the study for several days and hasn't gone out. When I think about it today, I come out to meet the two of you." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Now that you're out, let's go."

"Where are you going?" Li Ke looked at the two and asked.

"Xuanwu Tower." Li Tai said, "Now that Xiao Jing is away, I can eat and drink for nothing."

"Jing nonsense, let's go, Chang'an is so big, there are not many places we can go, it is safest to go to Xuanwu Tower, get in the car." Li Chengqian said.

The three of them got into the carriage, and the eunuch who drove the carriage jumped onto the frame, flicked his whip, and set off for Xuanwu Tower.

On the carriage, Li Chengqian sat in the middle, and Li Tai and Li Ke sat on both sides. After the carriage walked for a while, Li Chengqian asked, "Ah Ke, do you still have the troop fish talisman of your fiefdom?"

Hearing this, Li Ke shook his head: "No, my fish talisman has already been handed over to the emperor. I have been in Chang'an all the time, and it is useless to ask for the fish talisman, not to mention that I am still working in the Youwuwei camp."

What Li Ke meant was that he was already in the Youwuwei Battalion, if he still held the Fish Talisman of the Fiefdom's soldiers, then he would not have such a peaceful life in Chang'an.

"Brother, why do you ask this?" Li Ke asked puzzledly, why did he ask about the fish talisman?

"Could it be that you don't know? Xiaojing left Chang'an and went to Jingzhou yesterday by order." Li Chengqian said.

Li Ke nodded: "I know this, big brother asked me about the fish talisman, did he want to help Xiao Jing?"

"That's right, Xiao Jing went to Jingzhou this time and only brought more than a dozen guards. How can this be reassuring? The land of Jingzhou is the rear area that the sixth uncle has painstakingly managed for many years. For Xiao Jing, it can be described as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Something went wrong." Li Chengqian did not continue.

Xiaojing is the only son of Uncle Mingde, the child that Li Chengqian has taken care of since he was a child.

During Xuan Shijing's ten years in Longxi, he would correspond with Li Chengqian almost every month, asking Li Chengqian to take care of Chang'an City Hou's Mansion. Of course, Li Chengqian did as Xuan Shijing said. The city was full of wind and rain, His Majesty Li Er acquiesced, and Li Chengqian secretly asked the hidden guards to take the blame for the Hou Mansion and clean up the mess. This kind of thing was often done.

When the three Li Chengqian brothers were the poorest and most distressed, Xuan Shijing let them become a shareholder of the Chamber of Commerce in the Hou Mansion without saying a word. Heap to manage, avoiding their worries.

Throwing peaches and repaying favors, in short, the relationship between the three brothers and the Hou Mansion, whether it is the previous generation or the current generation, is already inseparable.

"There is no need to worry about this. The British Duke also left Chang'an early this morning and set off for the border of Hanzhou. Then he detoured to the south of the Yangtze River and walked east from the middle of Shu. It is estimated that this is the case. If there is time, the British Duke will dispatch Shannan If the government soldiers in the host country are too late, they may directly mobilize troops from the border of Hanzhou to support them. Besides, there are Tubo in the west. The British Lord may also have the intention of preventing Tubo when he goes." Li Ke analyzed: "So Said that the elder brother still puts his heart in his stomach, what we can think of, I am afraid that the father has already made arrangements."

"It's true." Li Chengqian nodded in response.

The three brothers were going to eat and drink at the Xuanwu Tower, but Xuan Shijing, who was involved in this matter, was still on the road.

If you want to reach Shangzhou City before evening, you will encounter a small town on the way, and you won’t even have time for lunch. You just rested for a while on the road, and ate a few preserved naan cakes with plain water, and then everyone went to bed again. The road, as early as last night when we left the town, the team entered the Qinling Mountains. The rugged mountain road also greatly slowed down the speed of everyone. Fortunately, this road is relatively straight. It directly leads to Shangzhou City, which saves a lot of detours for everyone.

Xuan Shijing and Shi Hu sat together on the frame of the carriage and stayed in the carriage, although they could sit and lie down, but they couldn't stand the stuffiness in the carriage.
