Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 651 Chapter 669: See King Wu again
Liu Xuanji's goal has basically been achieved, and then as long as he fools them, it will be over. Pu Zhiyong was happy for a while, and continued to ask Liu Xuanji: "Mr. Liu, when do you think I should start trouble?"

Liu Xuanji really wanted to deal with him casually, but he was afraid of showing his feet, so he said, "My lord, in fact, no matter what you do, the foundation is the most important thing. The Tang Dynasty is strong, and Silla's national power is far from being comparable to it, but after ten years, it may not be true." Now, Silla has just annexed Baekje and Goguryeo, and the territory and people have expanded several times. It is time for adults to flex their muscles. Don't be impatient. If you can't bear it, you will make a mess. You must hide your strength and bide your time to assist the king. To strengthen Silla, at the same time, secretly win over the officials and cultivate their own party members. On the other hand, in Tang Dynasty, the emperor of Tang is aging and his time is numbered. Weak ministers are strong, there will be some turmoil. Once the Tang court is in turmoil, the national strength will decline, and it will be difficult to take care of the frontiers. The adults can take the opportunity to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty and quickly expand Silla. One will grow and the other will grow. Within ten years, Silla Then it will grow into a powerful country, and when the time comes to send troops to attack Tang, your lord will seize the opportunity to seize military power, first seize the throne of Silla, and then attack Tang, so that you can become the master of the world in one fell swoop."

Pu Zhiyong's eyes lit up when he heard it, as if he had already seen the scene of him dominating the world. After a long time, he suddenly bowed to Liu Xuanji excitedly, and said: "Mr. Liu, I would like to ask you to be my staff Military division, from now on, all of my hands will be at your disposal."

Liu Xuanji put his palm upright on his chest, and returned the courtesy: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your trust. I am willing to help you to win this world."

Pu Mingshun was also extremely excited. He seemed to have remembered something, and reminded: "Mr. Liu, don't forget about my affairs. Find me a place with a treasured geomantic omen. I want to move my ancestral grave and change my fortune."

"Master Park, don't worry." Liu Xuanji said with a smile, "Tomorrow, the old man will go find you a geomantic treasure, and it will not exceed three months at most."

On June 25th, Li Hao and Di Renjie's team entered the land of Bashu. After entering Bashu, they felt that the cultural environment was very different. They often saw some rangers walking on the official roads with swords and sharp weapons. This is impossible in Guanzhong or other areas. As you can see, since Li Hao innovated metallurgical technology, ironware has become cheaper and weapons have naturally increased. Li Shimin ordered to strictly control folk ironware in order to protect the safety of the people.

Heroes are prohibited by martial arts, and weapons are what rangers eat. Now Li Shimin has strictly controlled folk iron, which makes rangers very embarrassed. Many rangers have been arrested and imprisoned for carrying weapons, although they are only locked up for one to three years. years, but the life in the prison is not easy, so a large number of rangers from Guannei and Hedong have migrated to the Bashu area in recent years, because the control of knives and sharp weapons in the Bashu area is not so strict. In Nanzhao, if you walk on the street with ten knives, no one will pay attention to you.

Why is this so, because these places have been places where heroes have been born since ancient times, they are extremely martial, and there are many mountains, and there are many bandits and bandits. You can only open one eye and close one eye.

When Li Hao saw so many knight-errants in the Bashu area, he felt very cordial. He felt like he had traveled through a martial arts novel. When he met some Jianghu people, he would go up to say hello, have a drink with them, and then talk nonsense, feeling that this is Jianghu.

Di Renjie didn't understand Li Hao's martial arts feelings at all, so he felt that he was going crazy. The majestic Qiongnan King, a general with five thousand elite soldiers, took off his armor and pretended to be a wandering knight. Isn't this something wrong with his brain?
Every time he saw Li Hao drinking and bragging with a group of rangers, Di Renjie watched from a distance, and then asked Situ Feng in a low voice: "Hey, is your master going crazy again?"

"Don't talk about Master like that." Situ Feng said solemnly every time, "Master said it was feelings."

"Tsk... your master's feelings are really strange."

Originally, the road in the Bashu area was not easy to walk, and Li Hao was still nervous. Whenever he met a ranger, he would stop for a few drinks and brag about it, so they traveled very slowly on this journey. It took a full 20 days to get there. to Yizhou.

Yizhou can be said to be the most prosperous place in the entire Jiannan Road. There is also a big man living here, Wu Wang Li Ke.

Li Hao entered the city with an army of five thousand, mighty and mighty, as soon as he settled down in the posthouse, someone came to send an invitation card. Li Ke, King of Wu, invited Li Hao to a banquet at his residence. Now that they are on their territory, I have to pay a visit anyway, and see if the King of Wu still has any ideas about the supreme position.

This time, King Wu only invited Li Hao, not Di Renjie. Although Di Renjie was a deputy envoy, his status was far different from Li Hao and King Wu. Moreover, before King Wu left Chang'an, Di Renjie was still unknown. Little man, how could the arrogant King Wu invite Di Renjie?

Li Hao took Situ Feng and [-] special forces to the Prince Wu's Mansion for a banquet. Since he brought an invitation card, there was no need to post an invitation. He was a distinguished guest invited by the master, and he entered the Prince Wu's Mansion smoothly.

Since it was not time for dinner, Li Ke met Li Hao in the living room. When they met, Li Ke had already grown a beard, two mustaches on his lips, and a little beard on his chin. He looked mature and dignified.

When Li Ke saw Li Hao, his face was surprised. He saw that Li Hao didn't seem to have changed in any way compared to back then. He looked like a young man, handsome and handsome. If there was any change, it would be Li Hao's hair on the temples. It turned out to be white, with a childish face and white hair, it looks very different.

"Greetings to the King of Wu." Li Hao dressed in his own special blue-white open-fronted gown, a lun scarf around his head, and a feather fan in his hand, saluting Li Ke gracefully and gracefully.

Although both of them are kings, their status is different. In Datang, kings are also divided into ranks. Although everyone calls Li Hao King of Qiongnan, strictly speaking, Li Hao's title is King of Qiongnan County. , is at the same level as the Duke of the State and the heir king, and Li Ke is a "king", a first-rank grade, basically at the same level as the King of Nanzhao, but he does not have as much power as the King of Nanzhao, so Li Hao sees To him, you need to salute.

Li Ke smiled and waved his hands and said, "King Qiongnan doesn't need to be too polite. After seven years of separation, King Qiongnan is not old, and his demeanor is still the same."

He said this in a sighing tone, and Li Hao felt quite embarrassed when he heard it. Thinking about it carefully, before he knew it, so many years had passed, and Li Ke had also changed from a handsome boy to a bearded uncle.

Excuse me, I still have to answer the words, otherwise my momentum will be weakened, Li Hao said with a light smile: "Hao just doesn't like to grow a beard, so he doesn't look old, but his hair is already gray, he doesn't look like King Wu, now He became more and more heroic, quite like his father."

"How dare this king compare himself with his father, King Qiongnan is careful." Li Ke pretended to smile casually, and invited Li Hao to take a seat.

The two sat down as host and guest, and Li Ke asked: "King Qiongnan just came from Chang'an, and he knows things about Chang'an quite well. How is your father?"

Li Haodao: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the emperor's dragon body is in good health. The prince attends around every day and listens to the emperor's instructions on government affairs."

Li Ke frowned slightly when he heard the words, he just asked Li Shimin how he was, and Li Hao could just answer the first half of the sentence, if he insisted on involving the prince, it was nothing more than to remind Li Ke and make him stop thinking about it.

"That's good, that's good." Li Ke nodded with a strong smile, but he was actually very unhappy.

At this time, the tea was served, and the two of them drank tea. Li Ke was still very particular about using good tea to entertain Li Hao. Unlike Li Hao, different people used different tea.

Li Hao drank two sips of fragrant tea, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and asked, "Your Highness has been in Yizhou for seven years, are you still used to living there?"

Li Ke put down his teacup and said: "When I first came here, I was not used to it, and I was not acclimatized to the environment, but after a year, I was basically fine. After living for a long time, I realized that Bashu is not inferior to Guanzhong. The days are very happy, when you have nothing to do, you can go out with your wife and children for outings, or hunting, away from the troubles of government affairs, and be happy. Hey, my king’s hunting skills have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. The deer and the like are very happy, but now what this king pursues is to catch the prey alive."

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words, "It's not easy to catch prey alive."

"That's right." Seeing that Li Hao seemed to be very interested, Li Ke immediately started talking enthusiastically, "It's too boring to use animal traps, but I still use bows and arrows. The prey can't escape, but it won't die. After coming back to raise it for a month or two, it will be alive and kicking again. Now the king has opened a special animal garden, which is full of wild animals that the king has captured alive. You may not believe it. This king actually captured a tiger alive last year!"

Li Hao was startled when he heard the words: "Have the tigers been captured alive by His Highness?"

Hearing this, Li Ke said proudly: "That's right, I shot three arrows at it, hurting three of his legs, and finally asked a dozen guards to catch it with nets, exhausting all its strength, and then took it down." , This tiger is not simple, I have seen many tigers, but I have never seen such a powerful one, if King Qiongnan is interested, I will take you to see it immediately."

"Thank you so much." Li Hao smiled and nodded when he heard the words, "Then Hao will be honored by His Highness today, and it will open his eyes."

Li Ke got up immediately when he heard the words, and strode out. Li Hao also got up and followed closely behind. When Li Ke walked out of the living room, the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and an imperceptible coldness flashed in the corners of his eyes.
