The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 1398 Tang Wang Li Zhongyi

After Wang Gang became sworn brothers with Chao Xiaoshu and Ning Que, they left Chunfeng Pavilion and returned to the inn to rest. Ning Que returned to Lao Bi Zhai to report his safety to Sang Sang.

Chao Xiaoshu did not go home, but went to the palace.

Although the assassination was over, the matter was not over. He exposed that the person behind the Yulong Gang was King Tang, so he had to go to the palace to explain.

Wang Gang helped Chao Xiaoshu to deal with the assassin today, but it was just a small task and not tiring. However, he saw Yan Se drawing talismans and had a direct impression of the realm of knowing destiny, which was a great gain.

The next day, Wang Gang got up early, did some exercise and walked out of the inn, but he was unexpectedly blocked by a large group of people.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Wang Gang?" A middle-aged man who looked like a legal advisor walked up to Wang Gang, followed by a group of servants, each holding a wooden box in his hand.

"Who are you?" Wang Gang asked.

"I am the steward of the Prince's Palace, and I am here on behalf of the Prince to deliver some gifts to Mr. Wang."

"Prince Li Peiyan?" Wang Gang asked.

"That's right." The steward of the palace clapped his hands, and the servant behind him opened the box.

Wang Gang took a glance and found that the smallest box was filled with pearls. Each one was big and round, and was a treasure.

The other boxes also contained rare treasures, and the worst ones contained a lot of gold bars.

"This gift is very important, Your Majesty."

The prince's steward smiled and said, "Your Highness has learned that there is some misunderstanding with Mr. Wang. These gifts are just a token of our appreciation. If Mr. Wang is not satisfied, I will bring something else."

Last night, Prince Li Peiyan learned from his escaped subordinates that Chao Xiaoshu was not only a cultivator, but also had a cultivator by his side who could defeat Wang Jinglue. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.

As soon as the sun rose, Li Peiyan asked his men to prepare some things, went to apologize, and personally repaired the relationship with Wang Gang.

As a result, before he left, Li Peiyan was summoned to the palace by King Tang. He could only ask his subordinate to find Wang Gang first.

Wang Gang took a look at those rare treasures, then turned around and kicked the prince's steward out of the inn without giving him any face.

The innkeeper was so scared at this time that he took a bag of silver and went to find Wang Gang.

"Sir, our inn is simple and unworthy of your status. This is your room fee. I will refund it all. Please find another inn!" The boss almost cried as he stuffed the silver into Wang Gang's hand.

Wang Gang weighed it and found that the boss had given too much. He must have wanted to spend money to get rid of the plague god.

"Don't worry, boss. I'll pack up and leave. I won't cause you any trouble."

Wang Gang had no choice but to pack up and leave. The innkeeper opened the door to do business, so he naturally didn't want to offend a prince. Wang Gang had no grudge against the innkeeper, so there was no need to harm him.

Carrying his bag, Wang Gang didn't know where to go for a moment.
There is still some time before the academy exam starts. Chao Xiaoshu has to wait until he goes to the palace to meet the emperor before he can fulfill his promise to give Wang Gang a house.

As for Ning Que's place, Wang Gang didn't want to live there because Sangsang was there.

"By the way, I remember the princess still owes me money."

Wang Gang suddenly remembered that Li Yu owed money and hurried to the Princess's Mansion.

Li Yu's princess mansion was located in the inner city of Chang'an and was very famous. Wang Gang found it after a little inquiry.

But when he arrived at the princess's mansion and told the doorman his purpose, Li Yu did not come out, but an old man with a gray beard came instead.

"Mr. Wang, Her Royal Highness the Princess has instructed that when you arrive you should go directly to the Princess's mansion and wait." The gray-bearded old man said with a smile.

"I won't go in. Just give me the thing." Wang Gang said, stretching out his hand.

The gray-bearded old man smiled and said, "The princess has already prepared Mr. Wang's gold, but she went to the palace to get the recommendation letter for the academy entrance exam early in the morning and has not returned yet." Wang Gang curled his lips, secretly thinking it was troublesome, and then said, "Old man, who are you to Li Yu?"

The old man with the gray beard didn't get angry when Wang Gang called the princess by her name. Instead, he smiled and said, "My name is Li Zhong, and I'm the housekeeper of the princess's mansion."

Wang Gang asked, "When will Li Yu come back? Will your princess's mansion provide meals?"

Graybeard Li Zhong nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, just tell me what you want to eat. The princess's mansion has all kinds of delicacies."

Wang Gang waved his hand and walked directly into the princess's mansion, saying as he walked: "Give me a bowl of mutton in a basin, remember to put more mutton and chili, and bake two Hu cakes and fire crystal persimmons."

"Ah!" Li Zhong was confused when he heard this.

It’s not that the food is expensive as Wang Gang said, but rather it is too cheap. They are all Chang'an street snacks, which are not available in the princess mansion’s kitchen.

"What? Such a big princess mansion doesn't have this little thing?" Wang Gang asked when he saw Li Zhong stunned.

"Yes, the princess's mansion has everything. I'll have someone prepare it right away."

Li Zhong gritted his teeth and prepared to ask his servants to buy directly from the street. If that didn't work, he would ask Wang Gang to be the stall owner at the princess's mansion.

Li Yu once instructed that Wang Gang was her honored guest and must not be neglected.

"Hurry up, I haven't had breakfast yet." Wang Gang said carelessly.

Li Zhong invited Wang Gang into the restaurant of the princess's mansion and assigned two maids to serve him. He first served Wang Gang cakes and tea to fill his stomach.

Half an hour later, a bowl of mutton was brought to Wang Gang.

Wang Gang ate the food happily.

At this time in the palace, Wang Gang's name had already reached the ears of the emperor and was placed on the desk of Tang King Li Zhongyi, with Chao Xiaoshu standing below.

"For the sake of Wang Gang, you took the initiative to expose to Yan Se that I was the person behind the Yulong Gang. What crime should you be punished for?" Li Zhongyi slammed the table and said angrily to Chao Xiaoshu.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Yesterday, Master Yan Se had a conflict with my second brother Wang Gang. In fact, everything was caused by me, so I had to expose Your Majesty's name." Chao Xiaoshu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Humph!" Li Zhongyi said angrily: "You care about our brotherhood, but you ruined my years of planning in one fell swoop. He, Wang Gang, is your brother, but I am not your brother!"

He clasped his fists towards Xiao Shu and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Li Zhongyi sighed quietly and looked at the piece of paper on the desk with Wang Gang's name on it.

"Hey, why does this name look so familiar?"

Li Zhongyi picked up the paper, looked at it again and again, then searched on the desk again and pulled out a letter.

"Two days ago, Yu'er asked me for a letter of recommendation. It seems that the person recommended was also called Wang Gang."

Li Zhongyi opened the recommendation letter, read it through, and asked Chao Xiaoshu: "Is the Wang Gang you swore brotherhood with yesterday from Weicheng?"

Chao Xiaoshu was stunned, not daring to lie to King Tang, and nodded, "My second brother, Wang Gang, is indeed from Weicheng. He was originally a squad leader under General Ma Shixiang."

"It is indeed him." Li Zhongyi put down the letter of recommendation and said: "This person once helped Yu'er return to Chang'an, so he is also a favor to the royal family."

Chao Xiaoshu was delighted because he could tell that Li Zhongyi was no longer angry and had become interested in Wang Gang.

At this time, the Tang King's personal eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Master Yan Se both want to see you."

Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "They have arrived just in time. Let Master Yan Se come in first. Yu'er will go to the side hall and wait for a while."
