Man Tanghong

Chapter 565 The Inescapable Chang'an City

Li Yuanji didn't want to be unfair, and he didn't want his daughter to lose his temper after losing, so he was a little embarrassed when faced with Li Ling's question.

Although he didn't know much about flowers, he could tell with the naked eye that the flowers in Li Yuanjia's hands were obviously prettier than Li Ling's.

Just when he was hesitating and didn't know what to say, Yuwen Zhaoyi suddenly spoke up and said: "The flowers of both of you have their own merits. If you have to decide whether to win or lose, then it depends on how you divide. Yuanjia's flowers are richer than Yuanjia's, and in terms of elegance, Yuanjia's flowers are more elegant than yours."

Yuwen Zhaoyi explained to Li Ling the difference between her flowers and Li Yuanjia's flowers in the most easy-to-understand words.

Li Ling understood, and proudly raised his head and said to Li Yuanjia: "Then we will be richer than whose flowers!"

Li Yuanjia hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at his mother, and seeing his mother nodded slightly, he readily gave in.

Because in terms of value, the flowers in Li Ling's hands are indeed more expensive than those in his hands.

But for those who know and love flowers, the level of money has never been the criterion for evaluating the quality of flowers.

The quality of flowers has its own standards set by flower lovers.

And Li Yuanjia obviously knew this standard, perhaps not much, but definitely more than Li Ling.

"I won! I am number one, the leader!"

After Li Ling 'defeated' Li Yuanjia, she showed her competitive side in a rare way, proudly holding up her flower and showing it to her other two defeated subordinates.

This is probably the reason why she proposed to come to Wangyun Pavilion to pick flowers.

Perhaps only on her favorite things, she will show a side that is completely different from the usual reserved, restrained, and hidden needles.

It's a pity that her two defeated men have no interest in the flowers in her hand at all.

Li Xu was already clamoring to go to Haichi, and Li Chengye was also clamoring to introduce Li Yuanjia, a new friend, to his good brother Li Chengqian.

"Okay, okay, go to Haichi, go to Haichi..."

Li Yuanji asked Yuwen Zhaoyi to borrow a brocade box, and asked Li Ling to hide the flower that helped her win the leader, and then rushed to Haichi with the four little guys.

Yuwen Zhaoyi knew what Haichi was like now, so she was a little reluctant to go, and also a little reluctant to let her son go.

But Li Yuanji didn't let go, and Li Chengye even hugged his son and didn't let go. No matter what he said, he wanted to introduce his son, a new friend, to his good brother, so he could only bite the bullet and lead someone to follow.

From Wangyun Pavilion to Haichi, a straight line will lead to Chengqing Palace, so Li Yuanji chose to take a boat.

Take a dragon boat on Xihai Lake next to Wangyun Pavilion, cross Nanhai Lake, go all the way down to the southwest along Qingming Canal, cross half of Taiji Palace obliquely, and you will arrive at Haichi.

After the dragon boat floated past Baifu Hall with the breeze, Li Chengye was unhappy again.

Because next door to Baifu Hall is the Chengqing Hall where his good brother Li Chengqian used to live.

The dragon boat didn't stop beside Baifu Hall, and he passed his good brother again, so he was very upset.

He found a new friend with the same kindness as himself, and their resistance to the evil force of Li Ling and Li Xu has grown stronger. He is eager to share this good news with his good brother, but Once again his father failed him.

Not only that, but his father also left him and his sisters on the boat, let his new friend's mother accompany them, and rode a horse comfortably on the shore.

I'm so angry!
"Look, look! Someone is looking for father, and father stopped!"

Just when he was sulking alone and Li Yuanjia next to him didn't know how to comfort him, Li Xu suddenly lay down on the railing on the deck and yelled.

He followed the prestige and saw a group of people surrounding another group of people in a way of encircling them, blocking in front of his father's horse.

"Your Highness! It turns out that you have already made arrangements, no wonder you don't care about His Royal Highness King Wei and others escaping from Chang'an City!"

On the shore, Li Yuanji was sitting on horseback, followed by a group of guards.

Quan Xu spoke excitedly after saluting hastily, but just as he finished speaking, a carefree voice followed.

"Your Highness! They took a fake warrant and tried to trick me into opening the gate of Hangu Pass and let them out, but I saw through it and arrested them all!"

Wearing a loose leather armor, Yu Wenbao raised his head and said proudly.

From his face, it is easy to see words such as 'I am not easy to deceive', 'No one can deceive me' and the like.

However, judging from the faint bandage marks on his neck, he paid a high price to take down Li Tai, Xue Shou, Han Liang and others, and the process may not be as simple as he said.

However, Yu Wenbao didn't cry bitterness, didn't complain, and didn't say how difficult it was for him, and Li Yuanji didn't need to ask.

Many things can be seen in the eyes and kept in the heart. You don't need to say it, it will change the taste.

"Good job! Give you a credit!"

Li Yuanji nodded with a smile and praised Yu Wenbao.

Yuwen Baole couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he laughed and said: "I will definitely make persistent efforts."

After saying this, he added another sentence, "Look, when you transfer me back, I want to be by your side to help you, and kill those who don't listen to you and those who secretly want to harm you. !"

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "Now, the imperial court is in the midst of employing people. There is no way to get more credit by my side, but outside, it is very likely that you will make extraordinary achievements. Are you sure you will come back?"

Yu Wenbao's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he yelled: "I care about high officials and high salary, but I care more about your safety. I just want to come back and help you get rid of those who don't listen to you and secretly want to harm you." They were all slaughtered!"

Speaking of this, Yu Wenbao suddenly turned his head and shouted, "What are you looking at, I'm talking about you melon skins!"

Li Yuanji looked in the direction of Yu Wenbao's head, and saw Xue Shou glaring at Yu Wenbao angrily.

Guapi is a word commonly used by people in Guanzhong, and its meaning is similar to that of the idiot ~ Yi who is commonly used by later generations.

Although Xue Shou is not from Guanzhong, he clearly knows the meaning of this word.

For people like Xue Shou who consider themselves scholars or national scholars, scholars can be killed but not humiliated.

So he could accept being beheaded, quartered by five horses, or even beheaded by barbarians, but he absolutely could not accept this kind of humiliation.

In particular, he couldn't accept the humiliation of such a recognized fool.

"Okay, put away your anger and take them to... Zhaode Palace!"

Li Yuanji was afraid that Yu Wenbao would continue to humiliate him, so Xue received his anger and swallowed his tongue to commit suicide.

Yes, suicide by swallowing your tongue.

There is absolutely no way to commit suicide by biting the tongue, because no matter how sharp the teeth are, they can only bite off the front half of the tongue. It is impossible to bite off the entire tongue. It will only cause massive bleeding and will not kill anyone.

Of course, swallowing the bitten off tongue alive into the throat and catching the trachea may still cause suffocation and death, so Xue Shou cannot be allowed to realize it.

Xue Shou can also be considered a great talent. For such a great talent, he has to try to educate and subdue him. If he can be educated and subdued, it will be an extra help.

If you can't get through the education, and you can't subdue it, then it's not too late to kill.

However, judging from Xue Shou's resume, Xue Shou is a very upright person and a very persistent person. If he is unwilling to be subdued, it will be difficult for you to convince him verbally.

Some means must be used. For example, in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yao Junsu, the Tongshou of Puzhou, arrested his mother as a threat in order to subdue him, and he was forced to join Yao Junsu's command.

But when Yao Junsu was about to run to vote for Wang Shichong, he took his mother and entourage to Li Yuan without hesitation.

And when he first started in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was the first person he took a fancy to. For this reason, when Li Yuan raised his troops, he ran to Shouyang Mountain and gathered a group of people with lofty ideals, ready to respond.

If Yao Junsu hadn't stepped in, he would have become one of Li Yuan's servants.

The position is very likely to be comparable to Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and others, and there is no need to go to the Tiance Mansion under Li Shimin's hands to be a reporter and join the army.

"Zhao... Zhaode Palace?"

Hearing Li Yuanji's order, Yu Wenbao suppressed his anger and looked at Li Yuanji in a daze.

Zhaode Hall is south of Wude Gate and north of Imperial Academy, with Longshou Canal running through it.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall are also in this area.

Although it has been abolished now, the things inside have not had time to clean up.

His Royal Highness asked him to bring Xue Shou and others over there. Did he want Xue Shou and others to see the fate of the loser, or did he want to humiliate Xue Shou and others in a place where Xue Shou and others had been astonished?
"Why, do you have an opinion and think it's wrong?"

Seeing that Yu Wenbao seemed to be thinking wildly, Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao and asked.

Yu Wenbao shook his head resolutely and said: "No! How could I have any objections!"

He resolutely supports everything His Highness does!

He firmly supports everything His Highness said!

His Royal Highness let alone humiliate Xue Shou and others, even if Xue Shou and others were to be cooked, he would immediately run to light the fire!

"Then what are you still doing?"

Li Yuanji asked angrily.

Yu Wenbao hurriedly asked his subordinates to escort Xue Shou and others to Zhaode Hall.

Quan Xu watched Yu Wenbao and his party leave with a complicated expression. He was actually very envious of the way Yu Wenbao and Li Yuanji got along with each other. Li Yuanji's loyalty is clearly visible, so as to gain Li Yuanji's greatest trust.

Li Yuanji seems to be very rude to Yu Wenbao, but in fact he trusts Yu Wenbao and treats Yu Wenbao as his own.

All of this is obviously exchanged by Yu Wenbao with his sincere loyalty.

This is a unique way of the fool to gain trust, and he can't learn it.

"Your Highness, why did you send Xue Shou and others to Zhaode Hall? Don't you know what that place means to Xue Shou and others?"

Li Yuanji had just finished telling the guards to send a message to Yu Wen Zhaoyi, and was about to go after Yu Wenbao and his party when he heard Quan Xu asking a question in his ear.

While riding his horse forward, Li Yuanji turned his head and asked, "What do you think?"
