Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 613
"Sanlang!" Li Xian came over again, this half-grown child was obviously not very interested in the acrobatics he was performing: "Where were you when Dafeichuan was defeated?"

"During the defeat of Dafeichuan?" Wang Wenzuo frowned: "I should be in Chengdu, no, it should be Songzhou, why does Your Highness ask this?"

"Then what would you do if you were Xue Rengui?" Li Xian asked: "I heard that you also won several battles against the Tubo people. If you replaced Xue Rengui, you shouldn't lose in Dafeichuan, right?"

"That's completely different!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "I have won the Tubo people twice, but those were just skirmishes. Neither I nor the Tubo people did their best. It's totally two different things!"

"Really?" Li Xian rolled his eyes: "Then why don't you use all your strength?"

"Because the road from Songzhou to the hinterland of Tubo is too steep, if I lose, Songzhou will be lost, the local Qiang people will fall to the side of Tubo, and Chengdu will be unstable; and if I win , and it is impossible to go deep into the hinterland of Tubo! No matter what, it is not worth it for me!"

After listening to Wang Wenzuo's answer, Li Xian smiled and said, "Sanlang, why are you so petty? None of the warriors I knew before was like you. It's worth it if you haven't fought yet!"

"Yeah!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "So I survived. I fought in Baekje, Waguo, and Goguryeo for nearly ten years, and I can still sit here eating meat, drinking, and watching magic tricks. If it's those guys , the trees on the graves are estimated to be seven or eight feet high!"

Li Xian was tongue-tied and speechless for a while.Wang Wenzuo felt a little regretful: I guess no one talked to him so rudely before, right?It seems to me that he drank too fast, and forgot to put the door on his mouth, but it is good to let this child know the ugly truth of war earlier, after all, he is the second in line heir to the empire.

The night has shrouded the high windows, and the jugglers in the hall are playing more and more vigorously. Haven't they noticed that most of the guests have stopped watching the show?Wang Wenzuo picked up the wine glass and took another sip. The wine was mellow and sweet. It seems that the Yang family spent a lot of money for tonight's banquet.By the time the jugglers stopped performing, many of the guests were drunk and having fun.Twelve orchids dressed in cool silk robes came to the hall and danced Hu Xuanwu quickly, but the official from Shangshu Province on Wang Wenzuo's right had fallen asleep at his desk.When serving the dish of stuffed venison with overripe chestnuts, the two women beside Wu Minzhi had already started arguing with each other. The two women were trying to grab each other's hair and scratch each other's face with their sharp nails. Yang Sijian hurriedly called Several strong women separated the two and pulled them out of the hall.

Wang Wenzuo casually watched these episodes. He picked up a piece of roasted venison with a knife and chewed it in his mouth. Wu Minzhi stood up from behind his desk and walked to Wang Wenzuo: "You asked Li Jingye to send it to you." Those two Sakers are rare—" He raised his glass to Wang Wenzuo, his voice full of alcohol.

This guy drank more than me, it seems that dealing with those women is not easy!Wang Wenzuo couldn't help gloating in his heart, and he also picked up the wine glass: "It's just a little bit, as long as you like it!"

"It seems that you got a lot of good things from Songzhou!" Wu Minzhi sat cross-legged in front of Wang Wenzuo: "You also got this Saker from there?"

Wang Wenzuo nodded noncommittally, he was too lazy to explain in detail the origin of Costin to the drunk man in front of him, after all, if he guessed correctly, the date of his death is not far away.

"You are a smart man!" Wu Minzhi pointed to Wang Wenzuo's nose: "Use some gadgets to win my cousin's favor! But don't think that you can do whatever you want in Chang'an with this? Lu Zhaolin can't do that." , Impossible——" At this point, his voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly fell to the ground and fell asleep.

"Duke Zhou is drunk!" Wang Wenzuo said to the servant beside him, "Help him down, so I can take care of him!"

Wu Minzhi was helped down, and Wang Wenzuo frowned slightly. It was not easy for this guy to be so annoying despite being so handsome.

"Lu Zhaolin? Is it Lu Zhaolin who wrote "Liu Sheng", "Zi Liu Ma" and "Battle City South"?" Li Xian came over again.

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo suddenly got bored with this young man. Everyone was rolling in the mud, but he stayed on the shore without a single mud spot on his body. He cupped his hands to Li Xian: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I have to report the matter to His Highness the Crown Prince, excuse me!" After saying that, he got up and walked towards His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Sanlang, you, you are here!" Li Hong's cheeks were flushed, and his speech was a little unclear: "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Siwei Shaoqing Yang Sijian, and this is his love female!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Wenzuo, lead the right guard of the Eastern Palace! I have seen Mrs. Yang and my lady!" Wang Wenzuo raised the front of his official robe and bowed to Yang Sijian and his daughter.

"Free of ceremony, free of ceremony!" Yang Sijian laughed and said: "Yang has heard of General Wang's reputation for a long time, Yue Niang, why don't you greet General Wang?"

Wang Wenzuo hurriedly turned his body to avoid the salute of the future crown princess: "I dare not be a minister!"

"General Wang, sit down and talk!" Yang Sijian waved his hand and signaled Wang Wenzuo to sit down: "The old man has heard His Highness the Crown Prince say about you several times, and he regards you as a minister. Tonight, there is some confusion at the table, which made the general laugh. Already!"

"What did Mr. Yang say?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "If the officials hadn't seen this scene with their own eyes, they wouldn't have dreamed of it. If the banquet was messy, it would be a celebration of the whole world. It's just a little forgetful!"

"Okay, okay!" Yang Sijian was overjoyed when he heard Wang Wenzuo say "Joy for the whole world to celebrate", and he stroked his beard: "General Wang is right, this is indeed a great event for the whole world to celebrate, Yue Niang, can you I want to drink two more glasses with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

While talking, the maid on the side presented a large golden cup inlaid with countless precious stones. The wine overflowed the rim and was delivered to Li Hong first. Wang Wenzuo frowned, and drank such a big glass of wine suddenly, Li Hong was not drunk right now. It can't be done.Just as he was about to speak out to dissuade him, Li Hong had already picked up the gold cup with both hands and started to drink heavily. When the liquor was reduced to about one-third, Li Hong put down the gold cup, his face was already full of drunkenness, and his eyes were sleepy.

"Yueniang, it's your turn!" Yang Sijian smiled, turning his gaze to his daughter.But the future princess didn't go to get the gold cup immediately, Yang Sijian frowned and urged: "Daughter, His Royal Highness has finished drinking, it's your turn!"

Faced with her father's urging, the future princess finally picked up the golden cup and began to drink.But soon she coughed violently, and the splashed wine soaked her silk robe, showing a dark red color, like blood.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me! I can't drink anymore!" The girl apologized to Li Hong, and Li Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, since you can't drink it down, just stop drinking it!"

Surrounded by the maidservants, the girl from the Yang family left the hall to change into new clothes. Without the presence of the girl, the prince's attention was a little distracted. The fatigue and alcohol gradually controlled the boy. He yawned subconsciously, and his body began to Lean to one side.

"His Royal Highness must be tired!" Wang Wenzuo whispered: "It's getting late, why don't you come here tonight, otherwise it will be a little troublesome when the gate of the palace is closed!"

"Alright!" Yang Sijian looked at the sky outside, and nodded: "Then come here!" He stood up: "I'll call Yueniang right away, and send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Maid, but after a while, the maid came back and whispered a few words in Yang Sijian's ear, Yang Sijian's face suddenly became ugly: "Why is there no courtesy, no, let her come here immediately!"

"What's wrong?" Li Hong was also awakened by Yang Sijian's angry shout, and he shouted: "What happened!"

"Report to Your Highness!" Yang Sijian hurriedly said: "The minister asked Yue Niang to see His Highness off, but the little girl said she was changing clothes and that she would not be able to come soon! It is absolutely lawless!"

"Mr. Yang, you don't need to worry!" Li Hong hurriedly comforted him: "Young lady has indeed soiled her clothes just now, and it does take time for my daughter's house to change clothes, so I have to wait for a while!"

But the three of them waited on the table for quite a while, but the future princess did not appear. Yang Sijian's face became more and more ugly, and he wanted to stand up several times to urge him in person, but Li Hong was right in front of him, and it would be impolite for him to leave up.When his patience was almost at the limit, he saw the girl from the Yang family rushing over, her face was bright red, and her dress was a little messy.

"What happened!" Yang Sijian said angrily, "Why did His Royal Highness wait for you for so long?"

"Hey!" Li Hong hurriedly defended his fiancée: "You don't have to blame Yang Gong. Changing clothes at my daughter's house is already very troublesome. Besides, Yueniang is extremely beautiful, and the widow did not wait in vain!" The right hand of the fiancée: "It's getting late, the widow will leave first, rest early!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The girl bowed to the prince, and everyone from the hatchback got up one after another. The Yang family sent the prince out of the gate and got into the car.Wang Wenzuo got on his horse and followed beside the chariot, while the guards on both sides surrounded the prince and headed towards the East Palace.

Wang Wenzuo rode on a horse and walked "Dede" along Zhuque Street.Hearing the sound of orderly footsteps, several ghostly shadows rushed into the corner in a hurry. The guards ignored these guys. It was originally the mission of the Marquis Wu. According to the law, after the sound of the evening drum, who would stay on the street? , A whip is indispensable.When passing through the West Market, they encountered a group of Marquis Wu who were watching the night. When they realized the identity of the visitor, they quickly retreated to the side of the road, bowed and saluted.Wang Wenzuo waved to him, signaled him to get up, and then moved on.

"Sanlang!" The prince's voice came from the carriage, and Wang Wenzuo hurriedly leaned over: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"My goldfish bag seems to have fallen into the Yang Mansion!" The prince's voice was a little anxious.

"Is there anything important inside?"

"It's nothing else, there is a personal seal inside!"

"The minister will go back and get it himself!" Wang Wenzuo hurriedly replied. As the crown prince, Li Hong certainly has more than one seal, and the more formal ones are guarded by special personnel in the East Palace, but he also has a personal seal in his goldfish bag. Among them, important items like this are used to draft temporary imperial edicts when going out, so naturally they cannot be left in the Yang Mansion overnight.After finishing speaking, he summoned the school lieutenant on duty and ordered him to continue to lead the troops to escort the prince back to the palace, and he brought more than ten guards back to Yang's mansion.

When he arrived at Yang's mansion, Wang Wenzuo asked to open the door, explaining his intention.After Yang Sijian heard about it, he was about to call someone to find the prince's goldfish bag, but Wang Wenzuo said: "The goldfish bag is the prince's personal belongings, so it's better not to let others touch it. Let people control the inside and outside first, and let my subordinates personally take care of it." Just go find it!"

"That's right!" Yang Sijian thought so too, who knows what's in the prince's close-fitting goldfish bag, it would be troublesome for others to take a second look, it's best to let the people around the prince find it by themselves, and take it away if they find it.He hurriedly asked the servants to guard the entrance and exit of the hall. Wang Wenzuo looked around at the banquet place where the prince was sitting above the hall, but he found it under an incense burner behind the big pillar next to him. It must be that the prince had drunk too much just now, so he took it off. Put the goldfish bag in the back, and forget to take it when you leave.Wang Wenzuo picked up the goldfish bag, opened it, and found that the seal of the prince was still there, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He tied the goldfish bag around his waist, went out and bowed his hands to Yang Sijian, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, I found it." !"

"That's good, that's good!" Yang Sijian also heaved a sigh of relief, and forced a smile: "Originally, on weekdays, I would invite General Wang to sit down and have two bowls of tea, but tonight I won't force you to stay!"

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "The general has official duties, so I will leave first!"

Just as Wang Wenzuo turned around, he suddenly heard a shrill cry for help coming from the mansion, followed by a second cry, and the third call stopped abruptly, like a rooster whose neck had been cut off.He knew that the victim's neck had been cut off suddenly, so he held the handle of the knife and said to Yang Sijian: "Mr. Yang, I've offended you!" Then he shouted to the accompanying guards behind him: "Quick, go and see what happened." thing?"

Those who came back with Wang Wenzuo were all experienced warriors. They responded in unison. Some drew their swords and shields, and some drew their bows and arrows. Behind, Yang Sijian hurriedly followed behind, a group of people passed through the double courtyard, and saw a servant girl lying on the ground, who was pierced by an arrow in the throat, her artery was broken, and the sprayed blood had already stained the pink and white walls red. Big chunk, already out of air but not in.

"Oops, this is Huaner! It's Yueniang's personal maid!" Yang Sijian paused and said, "Why is she here?"

"Quick, look around quickly, and make sure the princess is safe!" Wang Wenzuo felt bad when he heard it. In ancient times, in a family like the Yang family, the maid and the lady were inseparable. The maid died here. Yang Yueniang's situation is not much better.
