Man Tanghong

Chapter 273 Secret Association?

Li Yuanji and Li Xiaogong each returned to Jiulongtan Mountain full of doubts.

Li Yuanji ordered the chef to prepare sumptuous food and drink, and also ordered the guards in the mansion to set up secret posts all over Jiulongtan Mountain.

Today, Kan Leng's sniper pawns and long-sword pawns performed brilliantly, which has attracted the attention of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

They may send people to Jiulongtan Mountain at any time to spy on the reality of Prince Qi's mansion, so they had to set up more guard posts to prevent their spying.

By the time the food and wine were almost ready, it was already afternoon.

Li Yuanji and Li Xiaogong, one on the left and one on the right, each holding an iron fork, roasting the mutton by themselves.

The pavilion not far from them was already filled with all kinds of dried fruits, pastries, and wine.

The ingredients for other meals have been prepared, and they can be served after the guests arrive with a little cooking.

"Da da da……"

Yu Wenbao heard the news from somewhere, and was the first to arrive on horseback.

After entering the pavilion, he simply saluted Li Yuanji and Li Xiaogong, took the iron fork from Li Yuanji's hand, and took over Li Yuanji's job, bragging, "When I was in Qizhou, Roasted sheep is a must in Qizhou, and today is just the time for His Highness to taste the craftsmanship of the minister."

Li Yuanji leisurely picked up a cup of scented tea, leaned on the pillar of the pavilion, and sipped it carefully.

Holding an iron fork, Li Xiaogong was blowing his beard and staring at his mother, scolding Yu Wenbao for his lack of vision, lack of flattery, and lack of future.

He is now Yu Wenbao's immediate superior, pinching Yu Wenbao's braid, Yu Wenbao doesn't know how to curry favor with him, flatters him, but instead keeps on supporting Li Yuanji, he really feels ashamed.

That is to say, Yu Wenbao's son is practicing archery on the yellow land not far away, and he can see it anytime and anywhere, otherwise he would have started it long ago.

"Your Highness..."

"..."

The three brothers Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche came together, with a young man in Confucian attire, without riding a horse, and each carrying a jug of fine wine in their hands, which they said was the fine wine that their ancestors had treasured for 60 years.

Li Yuanji vaguely remembered that when he first met the Xue brothers, he had never seen any fine wine in the things they brought, and he didn't know whether the fine wine they were talking about was real or fake.

Li Yuanji chatted with Xue Wanbei, who was dressed in a Confucian costume, and after learning that the other party had just followed Su Dingfang from Hebei Road, he asked about the current situation of Hebei Road, and then encouraged him to go to the library in the mansion first. After shopping around, he said to Xue Wanshu: "Let him stay here in the future and serve as a teaching assistant for Di Xiaoxu. After the completion of the Tanshan Cultural Museum, let him study with a group of doctors."

Xue Wanshu said happily: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Tomorrow I will prepare a big gift and go to Duke Di's residence to thank you."

He is worthy of being a person who pays attention to the origin of his family.

It's not in vain to learn from others, and the etiquette is in place.

Unlike a guy from the Yuwen family who didn't want to disclose his name, his son got into Luo Shixin's eyes with his diligence and worshiped under Luo Shixin's family, and he hasn't sent a hair to Luo Shixin so far.

If Luo Shixin didn't know that he was a fool and didn't care about him, his son would be punished every day.

After Xue Wanche took over Li Xiaogong's barbecue work, Li Yuanji took the rest of the people and sat down in the pavilion, and said to Xue Wanshu: "How do you know that I will hold a banquet at the mansion today?"

Li Yuanji didn't think that Ma Sanbao was a talkative person, so he would spread the matter indiscriminately, so he wondered where Yu Wenbao, Xue Wanshu and others got the news.

When Yu Wenbao came just now, Li Yuanji wanted to ask.

I was just afraid that Yu Wenbao would not be able to explain clearly, so I didn't ask.

Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanjun looked at each other, and said with a smile: "We walked halfway with the triumphant team, but we didn't see His Highness, so we asked someone to find out that His Highness is back, so we went back to the house to get a few bottles of good wine. Came here."

"If you don't go to the palace, celebrate the victory of the army, and come to me, aren't you afraid that my father will be held accountable?"

Li Yuanji questioned.

Xue Wanshu smiled without saying a word.

Li Yuanji realized that he had asked a stupid question.

All the people here are headed by him and respected by him. If there is any problem, it will be his responsibility, and it will not be the turn of the others.

However, he couldn't curse.

Because he was expressing his stance, expressing his willingness to advance and retreat with him and face any difficulties.

So he can't know what's good or bad.

"Since they are all here to feed the mouth, then don't just sit around, let's help each other."

Li Xiaogong didn't know when, he got two more whole sheep and greeted the pavilion.

The more people, the more food to eat.

Although each of the two sheep can share a little, it is not enough to fill the stomach.

After all, everyone is a big-bellied man on horseback begging for a living, and it is normal operation to eat half a sheep for a meal.

When Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanjun started roasting the lamb together.

Xie Shufang came with a beautiful girl in his arms, and the purple red of that beautiful girl made people stare at him.

Li Xiaogong yelled from a long distance, "You and Huaide are not married yet? How did you bring Huaide out?"

Xie Shufang looked embarrassed and ashamed, Huaide was young, but generous.

Xue Wanche was blunt and kept muttering, "It's ruined... It's ruined..."

After being stared at twice by Xue Wanjun, he shut his mouth unwillingly.

Although Huaide has just grown up, he is a beauty. Not only is he good-looking, but also has a good temperament. In addition to his height, he is a rare beauty.

Xie Shufang has a good appearance and a good figure, but his temperament is a little lacking. In addition, Xie Shufang is almost a round older than Huaide, so when the two of them get together, they always feel a bit unequal.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Datang, so no one is surprised.

Just like Xue Wanche in history, the official wife had not yet been born when he had already started to fight on the battlefield.

So Xue Wanche shouldn't dislike Xie Shufang for ruining Huaide.

"Huai De, Xie doesn't know etiquette, don't you know etiquette too?"

Li Xiaogong rubbed a pair of oily hands on Yu Wenbao's robe, put his hands behind his back, stopped Xie Shufang's horse, and questioned Huai De with a serious face.

Huaide has already made an engagement with Xie Shufang, and some of the etiquettes that should be left have been almost gone, and the only thing left is the wedding ceremony.

According to etiquette, during this period, Huaide cannot meet Xie Shufang, let alone sit on a horse.

This is related to the face of the royal family, and it is also related to etiquette.

So Lee Hyo-gong seems very serious and strict.

Huaide got off the horse with the help of Xie Shufang, respectfully saluted Li Xiaogong, called his cousin, and then began to explain the reason.

"Grandfather heard that there is a banquet here, and it's not convenient for him to come here, so he sent me to come."

White's voice was soft and weak.

Li Xiaogong frowned subconsciously, and his heart beat wildly for no reason.

Something is wrong, something is wrong!
One and two ran here when the sage hosted a banquet to entertain the returning soldiers.

It's really not right!

If it's just a subject of Prince Qi's mansion, that's okay.

But Li Xiuning and Li Shentong also got involved, so that would be bad.

Although Li Xiuning's status is noble, it doesn't represent too much.

But Li Shentong is different.

Li Shentong is the Zong Zhengqing of the Tang Dynasty, who is in charge of all the Li family members and can also represent a large part of the Li family members.

With his status, it was inconvenient for him to attend Li Yuanji's banquet, and he broke the etiquette and sent his daughter to show his attitude, which was very wrong.

Li Xiaogong always felt that his jokes had come true. It seemed that Li Yuanji and Li Xiuning were really planning something big in private, and Li Shentong was also involved in this matter.

He also seemed to be involved unconsciously.

Li Xiaogong was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the issue of Huai De's violation of etiquette, after casually preaching to Huai De a few words, he returned to the pavilion with a heavy heart, and looked straight at Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji didn't know what to say anymore, because he also felt something was wrong.

He was just following Li Xiuning's 'coercion', and was preparing to clean up for Li Xiuning at the mansion. How did he make it look like a party organized by a secret organization.

Li Yuanji ordered Xie Shufang to take Huaide to find Yang Miaoyan, and then met Li Xiaogong's eyes.

"Yuanji, I've been to your house three or four times, but I haven't seen my family Chongyi yet. My family Chongyi doesn't know how to blame me in my heart. Why don't you take me to meet him?"

Li Xiaogong took the initiative to invite with a deep tone.

Li Yuanji nodded, and led Li Xiaogong out of the pavilion, but instead of going to the camp of the Youyitong Military Mansion where Li Chongyi was, it was impossible to go to the camp of the Youyitong Military Mansion where Li Chongyi was, but to the empty Jing Give up the side room.

When he reached no one's place, Li Xiaogong couldn't wait to ask: "Yuanji, do you want to rebel?"

Li Xiaogong's face was full of struggle, and he didn't know what he was struggling with.

Li Yuanji said dumbfoundedly: "Cousin, you're taller before you drink it. The country belongs to our family, and I'm going to rebel against my own family?"

Li Xiaogong realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately corrected him: "Are you trying to seize the throne?"

Li Yuanji shook his head without hesitation.

Li Xiaogong paused, staring at Li Yuanji and said seriously: "Then why did you, Third Sister, and Uncle Shentong get together, and what are you planning?"

Li Yuanji was silent for a while, staring at Li Xiaogong and asked, "Cousin really wants to know?"

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth, but did not speak.

If you know it, you have to join the group. If you don't join the group, let alone brothers in the future, you can't even be friends.

Didn't know there was room for maneuver.

Li Xiaogong didn't know what Li Yuanji was going to do, so he didn't dare to speak easily.

Seeing that Li Xiaogong didn't speak, Li Yuanji sighed slightly.

Sure enough, it was a temptation for Li Xiaogong to encourage him to fight for the position.

Even when I went to meet Li Xiuning today, everything I said was a temptation.

Li Xiaogong had no intention of helping him fight at all.

In other words, Li Xiaogong didn't want to put himself and his family in danger.

It's no wonder that when Li Yuan called Li Xiaogong back to Beijing, Li Xiaogong came back without saying a word.

Li Xiaogong never had the intention to risk the lives of himself and his family.
