Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 248 Departure
At this time, it was none other than his own younger brother Li Yin who was walking towards Li Ke.

After seeing Li Ke, Li Yin's entire face was filled with a bright smile.

"Brother, I don't know when you will come back after going to Qizhou, or... you can give me another fifty pennies."

"..."

Facts have proved that talking about money hurts the most. Originally, Li Ke thought that Li Yin came here specially to see him off, so he was a little moved, but when he heard that this guy actually came here to ask for money, he immediately became angry .

While clenching his fists "cracking", he gritted his teeth and waved at Li Yin.

"Fifty guan...Okay, I'll give you fifty guan, come here!"

As soon as Li Yin heard that Li Ke promised to give him the money, he immediately ran over excitedly, but before he saw the money, Li Ke's eyes were slapped all over the place.

"Oh, my eyes! Brother, why did you hit me?"

"It was you who hit... oh, you still dare to run?"

"Brother Prince, help!"

"..."

Gao Ming originally wanted to see the excitement, but he didn't expect Li Yin to seek protection. Seeing that he had already run under his carriage, Gao Ming had no choice but to open the curtain of the carriage, and then Li Ke waved his hand .

"Okay, okay, it's just to borrow some money, why are you beating him? Oh, let me look, it's all like panda eyes..."

"Woooo..."

Seeing Li Yin's pitiful appearance, Gao Ming immediately glared at Li Ke again.

"I said that the third child is also true. Although the sixth child is stupid and cute and has no brains, what do you say you care about with a fool?"

Li Ke: "..."

At this moment, Li Ke suddenly felt that what Gao Ming said made sense, which made him speechless.

Gao Ming saw that Li Ke was silent, so he patted Li Yin on the shoulder with a smile.

"Okay, old six, don't be sad, it's just some money, come and be my companion, and I'll give you a hundred guan after you come back, isn't it just some money, your eldest brother, I lack everything, just There is no shortage of money!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yin's eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother, is what you said true?"

"Nonsense, brother, when did I ever lie to you? Come on, get on the carriage!"

"Hey, good!"

As soon as he heard that he had taken the money, Li Min completely ignored Li Ke who was winking at him, and got into Gao Ming's carriage in a hurry.

What Gao Ming likes the most is Li Yin's character of forgetting the pain when the scar is healed, and forgetting to eat but not to fight. When he saw him getting in the car, he immediately smiled and closed the car door.

When Gao Ming closed the carriage, Li Ke heard Li Yin's scream from inside.

"Oh my mother..."

Hearing this scream, Li Ke immediately imagined the scene in the carriage and horses, and he gritted his teeth immediately.

"I don't care about this idiot!"

After finishing speaking, he walked towards several carriages parked beside him.

At this moment, Lu Zhi was standing beside the carriage, and seeing Li Ke approaching, he immediately cupped his hands towards him with a smile.

"Lu Zhi met His Highness King Wu!"

After seeing Lu Zhi, Li Ke was stunned for a moment.

"Lord Lu?"

The scene of Lu Zhi fighting Cui Xi in the court hall two days ago is still fresh in Li Ke's memory. At that time, he remembered that Lu Zhi seemed to be seriously injured, and he couldn't even stand firmly, but now it seems that it is not so. thing.

"Master Lu, is your injury better?"

After all, Lu Zhi is an old oil in the officialdom. After hearing Li Ke's words, he was not embarrassed. He smiled and cupped his hands towards Li Ke.

"Thank you for His Highness King Wu's concern, the officer is fine now."

Having said that, Lu Zhi looked at Gao Ming's carriage again.

"Since His Royal Highness has arrived, let's set off now. There are female relatives with us. It may not be convenient if we can't reach Jingzhao Mansion before dark."

Hearing what Lu Zhi said, Li Ke also nodded.

"Well, let's go. I wonder if Mr. Lu has extra horses?"

Although Gao Ming said that Benben would not bite, Li Ke was afraid of it, so Li Ke would rather ride a horse than be with Benben during this trip.

Lu Zhi didn't know why Li Ke didn't take the car with Gao Ming, but asked him for a horse instead, but since Li Ke didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he nodded immediately.

"There are horses. It's a long way to go to Qizhou. I'm afraid you can't stand riding a horse. If King Wu doesn't dislike it, how about sharing a carriage with the lower officials?"

Riding in a carriage is naturally much more comfortable than riding a horse, so after receiving Lu Zhi's invitation, Li Ke immediately laughed.

"Haha, since Mr. Lu said so, then I would be more respectful than obedient. I wonder which carriage is Mr. Lu's?"

Seeing that Li Ke readily agreed, a smile appeared on Lu Zhi's face, and he immediately showed him the carriage he was riding in.

"It's the one on the far left. His Royal Highness King Wu can just go there, and the next official will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then set off."

"Well, go ahead, be careful!"

Hearing Li Ke telling him to be careful, Lu Zhi was a little surprised at first, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After nodding to Li Ke, he walked towards Gao Ming's carriage.

Just as Lu Zhicai walked in front of Gao Ming's carriage, he heard Li Yin's slightly painful cry from inside.

"what……"

Hearing this voice, Lu Zhi frowned immediately, and then shouted inside.

"His Royal Highness, everything is ready, may I leave now?"

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Gao Ming's voice came from the carriage.

"Now that you're ready, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Lu Zhi agreed, and was about to turn around and go back, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly heard a familiar roar coming from Gao Ming's carriage.

"Ouch..."

Lu Zhi: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Hearing this roar, Lu Zhi immediately recalled the scene of his head being held in the mouth by a tiger in the East Palace, and he couldn't help but gasped.

"hiss……"

Now Lu Zhi finally understood why Li Ke didn't want to ride with Gao Ming, and at the same time why Li Ke told him to be careful just now.

After figuring this out, Lu Zhi almost trotted all the way back to his carriage.

Seeing Lu Zhi still in shock, Li Ke couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Lord Lu, did you see it?"

Of course Lu Zhi knew what Li Ke was talking about, and he shook his head immediately.

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes just now, it's almost the same."

Having said that, Lu Zhi smiled wryly at Li Ke.

"Xiaguan was caught in the tiger's mouth twice at the beginning. Thanks to the blessing of his ancestors, he was able to come back with his life. Since then, Xiaguan has never been to the East Palace. I didn't expect His Royal Highness to bring it here. Could it be that His Royal Highness wanted it? Take it to Qizhou?"

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Li Ke shook his head immediately.

"Probably not. Brother Huang already said when he came here that he just wanted to go out to avoid the limelight for a few days, so he shouldn't be going to Qizhou."

Hearing what Li Ke said, Lu Zhi was relieved.

"So it turns out that His Royal Highness should be planning to go to Jingzhao Mansion or Jinzhou."

"I hope so!"

Speaking of this, the two immediately looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning of sympathy in each other's eyes.

At this time, Lu Zhi suddenly remembered Li Yin's screams in Gao Ming's carriage just now, his expression changed immediately, he quickly opened the curtain of the carriage, and then shouted to the driver outside: "Let's go!"

"Yes, my lord!"

With the sound of the coachman waving his whip, the carriage started to move slowly.

In the evening, the group finally arrived at Jingzhao Mansion.

At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty liked to go on tour, and built many palaces in various state capitals. Naturally, there were big cities like Jingzhao Mansion, which also saved Gao Ming a lot of work. After arriving at Jingzhao Mansion, he brought a group of people live in.

Li You and the others had obviously been here before, so their behavior was normal, but Tian Yi was different. He was just a businessman, and he had never lived in an official office, let alone the emperor's palace, so at this time he Very nervous.

"His Royal Highness, why don't you go to the inn as an official?"

Seeing Tian Yi's apprehensive expression, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head immediately.

"You still have your family members with you. It's too inconvenient to go to the inn. If you are asked to stay, you can stay here. I have the final say here."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming directly called the two palace maids and asked them to take Tian Yi and others to the backyard.

In fact, if it weren't for the large number of people, Gao Ming would rather stay in an inn, which saves trouble and is more convenient.

But it's definitely not possible now, in addition to Tian Yi and his family, Zhang Sizheng also brought his new wife. After all, this time he went to Fan Yang for the reason of taking his wife back home.

Although it was okay to let them stay in a hotel, Gao Ming didn't bother to bother, so he simply brought them to the palace.

After making arrangements for Tian Yi and Zhang Sizheng's family members, Gao Ming also went back to his room to rest. As for Benben, Gao Ming was worried that he would scare others by running out in the middle of the night, so he simply brought him into the bedroom. Obedient, lying under Gao Ming's bed and fell asleep.

Originally Gao Ming also arranged a place for Hu Zi, but Hu Zi felt uneasy, so after Gao Ming fell asleep, he went outside Gao Ming's door and sat down by the doorpost.

He had just sat down for a while when he saw a figure walking in from outside the courtyard gate. After seeing the person clearly, Hu Zi immediately laughed.

"Haha, Brother Zhang is you!"

The person who came was Zhang Sizheng. After hearing Huzi's words, he immediately raised his index finger and made a gesture of silence towards him, then lowered his voice and said to Huzi, "Hush your voice, His Royal Highness is asleep."

Hearing Zhang Sizheng's words, Hu Zi quickly covered his mouth and nodded, but when he saw the roast chicken in Zhang Sizheng's hand, he couldn't help swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva.

Seeing the greedy look on Huzi's face, Zhang Sizheng smiled immediately, and directly handed the roast chicken to Huzi's hand.

"This is for you to eat, you take good care of His Royal Highness, I will accompany you again in the middle of the night."

"Okay!"

Looking at the roast chicken in his hand, Hu Zi immediately showed a happy smile.
