Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 109 Returning to the city and returning to life
Seeing Yan Hongliang fainted from fright, Li Goudan and others laughed even more happily, and even Zhang Sizheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It turns out that King Qi's subordinates are all ordinary cowards, no wonder His Royal Highness doesn't take him seriously, hahahaha..."

Seeing Yan Hongliang who was fainted from fright, and listening to the laughter around him, Li You who was tied up suddenly widened his eyes, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

He regretted that he should not have killed Quan Wanji, he regretted that he should not have listened to the slander of Yan Hongliang and others for rebellion, and at the same time he also hated, hated Li Goudan's rebellion, hated the slackness of the guards of the Qi Palace, hated Yan Hongliang's cowardice and uselessness...

Just when Li You was full of thoughts, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, and his consciousness suddenly fell into darkness again.

After Zhang Sizheng knocked Li You unconscious with his palm, he tied him up again with a sack, and then spoke to Li Goudan.

"Since that Yan Hongliang is King Qi's confidant, let's keep him. Anyway, we are going by water this time, and it doesn't matter if there is one more person. After we arrive in Chang'an, we will hand it over to His Highness the Crown Prince. It will be up to His Royal Highness to deal with him at that time." It's not something we have to worry about."

Hearing what Zhang Sizheng said, Li Goudan nodded.

"Okay, just decide on this matter. Anyway, my task is to bring King Qi out. How to send him back to Chang'an is up to you. By the way, there are still two brothers in King Qi's mansion who have not come out. You Let's see how to arrange it!"

"Ok, I know!"

Zhang Sizheng agreed, and called two people over.

"You wait here to meet the people behind, and take them to the ferry after you receive them. If you haven't received them before dawn, you don't have to wait, understand?"

"understood!"

After arranging everything, Zhang Sizheng and Li Goudan set off towards the ferry with their people.

There is a reason why Zhang Sizheng chose to take the water route, because Qizhou is next to the Grand Canal, as long as he enters the Grand Canal, he can take a boat along the Grand Canal all the way to Luoyang!
Don't worry, don't worry!
When Li Goudan and the others boarded the big ship, several people in charge of the reception also arrived. Zhang Sizheng laughed immediately after seeing them.

"It seems that this trip went very well. We completed the mission without losing a single person. I will reward you all in front of His Royal Highness when I go back!"

"Thank you sir!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Zhang Sizheng waved his hand immediately.

"sail!"

The Tang Dynasty was the second peak of shipbuilding in ancient China. Among inland river ships, there were many large ships of more than [-] feet. Some people even planted flowers and vegetables on board. It is not difficult for such a large ship to carry hundreds of people.

What Zhang Sizheng found was such a big boat. Dozens of people led it right away without being too crowded, and the bigger the boat, the more stable it was, so even though many of the people present had never been on a boat, none of them got seasick. Several people.

As the big ship sailed, everyone's tense heartstrings gradually relaxed. After a busy night, everyone felt very tired. Zhang Sizheng simply left a few people to stay with him on duty at night, and let the others go to the cabin to rest.

Li Goudan had been busy all night and was already sleepy. After hearing Zhang Sizheng's words, he naturally went to sleep, and slept until noon the next day. He didn't get out of the cabin until his stomach was growling. drilled out.

"Ah Zheng, do you have anything to eat?"

Hearing Li Goudan's address to him, Zhang Sizheng's eyebrows twitched immediately, but in the end he didn't get angry with Li Goudan, but snorted softly, took out two mustard pancakes from the bag and handed them over.

"Eat it!"

During this period of time, Li Goudan was full of fish and meat in Prince Qi's mansion, so now he looked disgusted when he saw the mustache in Zhang Sizheng's hand.

"Just eat this?"

Looking at his disgusted eyes, Zhang Sizheng couldn't help but cursed immediately.

"You son of a bitch, do you think that everyone has no big fish and big meat like you? I have been eating this for half a month. Do you like it or not? Get lost!"

Looking at the furious Zhang Sizheng, Li Goudan shrank his head suddenly.

"If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. Why are you so angry? Didn't His Highness give you thousands of coins? Who can you blame if you want to eat cakes yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Sizheng glared at him again.

"His Royal Highness gave me this money because he trusted me. Naturally, it can't be used indiscriminately. I have already handed over the money to my subordinates for business. This is a business where money makes money. Tell you, don't use this money. Otherwise, watch if I don't peel your skin!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Sizheng smashed the two mustard pancakes on Li Godan's head. Li Goudan was furious. He picked up the mustard pancakes on the board and was about to throw them away, but his stomach gurgled again. " cried out, so he hummed softly.

"Hmph, if you eat hu bing, eat hu bing. I'll just endure it for a few days and have a good meal when I get to Luoyang..."

As soon as he spoke, he stuffed the mustard cake in his hand into his mouth, and then returned to the cabin with a grunt.

On the third day, the big ship arrived in Luoyang, and Li Goudan, who had eaten the pastry for three days, couldn't bear it anymore, and happily "squat in the restaurant" with a few people. "went.

Unlike Zhang Sizheng's frugality, Li Goudan has collected a lot of money in the Qi Palace for more than half a month. It seems that he brought a chicken leg back to Li You.

After leaving the border of Qizhou, Li You finally no longer had to experience the miserable life of being knocked out when he woke up, but when he thought of what would happen to him after returning to Chang'an City, Li You felt scared.

Therefore, ever since he woke up, he has been making promises to the people around him that as long as the other party saves him, he will give the other party a title and a king, and reward women with money, but it is a pity that no one pays attention to him. The people who delivered the cakes all dropped the cakes and left without bothering to say a word to him, which made Li You very disappointed.

Apart from fear and loss, Li You's only feeling is that he is very hungry. Since he was a child, he has not seen any oil or water for three days in a row. He feels that he is about to be unable to hold on to the pancakes sent by Zhang Sizheng. up.

"How about I beg them to give me some meat when they come?"

Just when Li You was considering whether to give up his dignity as King Qi, a chicken leg appeared in front of him, and at the same time, Li Goudan's smiling face appeared.

"It's been a long time for the king to suffer. Let's enjoy the chicken legs. After returning to Chang'an, His Royal Highness will definitely treat the king well."

Hearing Li Goudan's slightly mocking words, Li You's expression changed immediately, and he slapped the chicken leg to the ground with a wave.

"Hmph, Li Hu, you treacherous villain, this king really misjudged you, you will not end well if you betray this king!"

Looking at the angry Li You, Li Goudan smiled and waved at him.

"No, no, Your Highness King Qi, you are wrong. I was ordered by His Royal Highness to arrest you, so I have never been loyal to you at all. Since I have never been loyal to you at all, why do you say betrayal? ? And my name is not Li Hu, my name is Li Goudan, hehe!"

After finishing speaking, Li Goudan ignored Li You who had a sluggish face, turned around and left the cabin. After he went out, Li You muttered to himself.

"There is no such thing as loyalty and betrayal... There is no such thing as loyalty and betrayal..."

I don't know what I thought of, but Li You's expression gradually became dull at this time, even when Zhang Sizheng asked him to pull him out of the big boat, he didn't have much reaction.

There is no inland river for large ships between Luoyang and Chang'an, so Zhang Sizheng and others got off the boat, and then rode to Chang'an. As for Li You, who looked dull, Zhang Sizheng asked someone to find him a carriage.

Zhang Sizheng understands that even if Li You has committed a major crime now, he is still a vassal before the emperor convicts him, so he had better not torment him too much, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.

The distance from Luoyang to Chang'an is about [-] miles. If Zhang Sizheng led people back on horseback, he would have arrived in two days at most. However, in order to take care of Li You, it took him nearly a week to return to Chang'an.

Originally, Zhang Sizheng wanted to hand Li You directly to Gao Ming, but what he didn't expect was that before he entered Chang'an City, a group of Xuanjia soldiers stopped them.

After Zhang Sizheng reported his name, the other party also showed his badge.

"I belong to Qianniuwei. Your Majesty Feng ordered you to bring His Royal Highness King Qi back to the palace!"

Zhang Sizheng looked at the badge in his hand, and after confirming that it was real, he could only hand Li You over to them, and then gritted his teeth and entered the East Palace under Li Goudan's gloating eyes.

Qian Niuwei was paid by the emperor's order, so Zhang Sizheng had to hand him over to the other party, otherwise he would be disobedient and disrespectful, which is force majeure, but Li You was indeed lost in his hands, no matter what the reason was, Default is default.

Therefore, when Zhang Sizheng saw Gao Ming, he knelt down immediately with a "plop".

"His Royal Highness, the villain has lost his trust, and the mission has failed. I hope His Royal Highness will punish me!"

When Gao Ming heard Zhang Sizheng say that the mission had failed, he immediately turned pale with fright, but he soon noticed the gloating expression on Li Goudan's face next to him, so he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"If the mission failed, Li Goudan wouldn't be smiling so happily, but Zhang Sizheng couldn't have lied to me either. What's going on?"

With this question in mind, Gao Ming immediately asked Zhang Sizheng.

"What's going on, tell me carefully!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, Zhang Sizheng told Gao Ming everything from the beginning to the end. After he finished talking, Gao Ming burst out laughing. While laughing, he stretched out his hand to help Zhang Sizheng up.

"I said you, you really scared me, okay, you all go back and wait for the good news, and you Li Goudan, you really did a good job this time, all my promises before are valid!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan was overjoyed and shouted "Prince wise", but Zhang Sizheng showed surprise on his face.

"Your Highness, don't you blame me?"

Seeing the surprise on his face, Gao Ming laughed again.

"You have completed all your missions. Why do I blame you? And Li You was taken away by Qianniuwei. It's easy for me, and you don't have to worry that I won't be able to claim credit. When I asked you to do this, I didn't even think about it." No matter who I ask credit for, I'm just trying to solve the trouble!"

Gao Ming was telling the truth, but his words made both Zhang Sizheng and Li Goudan blush.

Look at how high the realm of His Royal Highness is. He did such a big thing just to solve the trouble for Datang, not to claim credit, but the two of them were thinking about how to share the credit from the beginning to the end. In comparison, His Royal Highness is simply It is a saint!

Thinking of this, the eyes of the two people looking at Gao Ming gradually became eager. When Gao Ming saw the eyes of the two people, he couldn't help frowning immediately.

"Did these two take the wrong medicine?"
