People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 250

A burst of hurried footsteps came from the courtyard corridor, a figure turned out, and a middle-aged butler in a light blue silk gown walked in quickly.

The butler held a dark red invitation card and handed it to Lu Yuanming respectfully.

Lu Yuanming was surprised for a while, now that the Lu family is hosting a banquet for the King of Nanchang County, why are there other invitations sent.

Lu Yuanming glanced at the butler with doubts, and the butler nodded solemnly.

It's not that simple.

Lu Yuanming raised his brows, opened the invitation card, looked down, and immediately frowned.

"Uncle Shi, I don't know what happened?" Li Xuan looked at Lu Yuanming in surprise. It was just an invitation card, why did he change his face so much.

"My lord, please take a look." Lu Yuanming handed the invitation to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took it and took a look. It read:

Kui Gong, the Kui clan of Hangzhou, has the audacity to invite the king of Nanchang County to come over the West Lake tonight.

The old man is frightened, and he has prepared a little wine to add fragrance.

I pray that the prince will move his golden feet a little, visit the small buildings and boats, taste the lotus seeds of the West Lake, and listen to the wind.

Not very fortunate.

"Hangzhou Kai Clan!" Li Xuan's mind immediately flashed the relevant secret documents that he had come over: "Could this Hangzhou Kui Clan be the last of the Wuyue Sixteen Families?"

"That's true!" Yuan Yi took the conversation and said with a wry smile: "Although the Hangzhou Kai family is the tail of the sixteen families of Wu and Yue, it should not be underestimated. Yuhang is one of the oldest families in Yuhang."

Li Xuan's complexion gradually became serious, but there are always some things that are dreadful and cannot be ignored for those who wear the word ancient.

"The ancestor of the Kai family, Kui Lin, was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and co-chaired the unification of weights and measures with Wang Wan." Lu Yuanming looked at Li Xuan, and he mentioned the word weights and measures, which was enough for Li Xuan to realize the prestige of the Wei family in Hangzhou.

Li Xuan nodded, the words "weight and measure" are enough for him to respect the Wei family.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuanming continued: "Afterwards, the Kai family had Kai Xiao, Kai Chun, and Kai Xi, all of whom were famous ministers in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. During the battle, Kui was seriously injured.

As a result, in our court, the highest position is the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, the law Cao joined the army, and there are very few others, but the Kui family often marries with other clans, especially the local prestige is quite high..."

"Uncle, let's talk about my nephew." Yu Yong took over the conversation and said with a wry smile: "The professor of state studies who was dismissed yesterday, Hong An, is the son-in-law of the Kai family. In addition, several children of the Kai family also went to greet him yesterday. Prince, it's just that I never thought of suffering an unreasonable disaster."

"I see!" Li Xuan smiled, and then casually put the invitation on the table beside her without even looking at it.

"My lord doesn't intend to go." Lu Yuanming looked at Li Xuan's reaction with some surprise.

Li Xuan nodded with a smile and said: "There is no such thing as a good banquet. Why do people with ulterior motives bother with him, and even if someone wants to settle accounts with me, I don't care. Now I just want Hangzhou City to be more lively."

"My lord wants to go fishing!" Yuan Yi immediately guessed what Li Xuan was thinking.

Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Yesterday's incident, although it seems that it was just a rash collision of frivolous children, but the ambition behind it is unpredictable, so we need to be more cautious.

Xiao Wang is about to go to Wuzhou, who is the last person who wants Xiao Wang to arrive in Wuzhou safely? Sima should also know it well, why should this king take this unnecessary risk for an unimportant person, and watch the other party jump back and forth for a while? Jump, just to see who is behind. "

"But, my lord, those students from yesterday came from all the big families in Hangzhou, my lord needs to be careful!" Yu Yong looked at Li Xuan worriedly, and at the same time secretly worried about his group of classmates.

"What happened yesterday is nothing at all. Those who are truly capable have their own families to lift all the restrictions on their own children. As for those who are incapable, a moment of silence is not a bad thing." Li Xuan smiled indifferently, but the people on the side Lu Yuanming frowned.

Li Xuan's words sound ordinary, but those who really understand the three flavors in it will understand the murderous intent in it.

A little carelessness, a young talent, will be completely wiped out of all talent within two years.

"My lord's words are biased." Yu Yong looked at Li Xuan, and said sincerely: "Students of the state school, their studies are already difficult. During the two years, I don't know how many people gave up halfway because of this. I hope the lord will be more sympathetic. What's more, this Among them, there are still some people who really admire the prince's talents, so they will go to the pier to greet them that day, and I hope the prince will consider them more."

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but ponder. He has only written one or two poems now, even if someone admires him, how much he can admire, but this is a good sign after all...

At this time, Yuan Yi suddenly said: "My lord may not know something. There are hundreds of ships of all kinds in this Kai family, and they transport silk and satin to various states every day. I think it will be helpful for my lord's trip to Wuzhou." help."

Li Xuan looked at Yuan Yi in amazement, seeing a pleading look in Yuan Yi's eyes, Li Xuan pondered for a while, then nodded slightly: "What you said is true, it seems that this king is indeed too harsh. So, I don't know Can I ask Brother Yu Xian to invite those innocent students to come to the West Lake tonight... By the way, Uncle Shi, the invitation from the Kui family does not seem to say how many people this king can bring to the banquet."

"The prince doesn't need to worry. Since the Kui family invited the prince, he will definitely not be in a stingy place. The prince can bring people there." Lu Yuanming waved his hand vigorously, and said, "The Kui family also hopes that the prince can bring more relevant people, etc. Let's go together..."

"Then can I go?" A slightly immature voice sounded from the side. When everyone saw it, it was Lu Xiangxian who looked like a little adult who spoke.

"No, not only you can't go, even Brother Yu Xian can't go tonight, it's best to return home immediately after notifying your classmates, especially tonight, it's best not to go out again." Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious .

Under the surprised gazes of others, Li Xuan turned to look at Yuan Yi on the side, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved: "This is what I asked Brother Yuan to help me before, Brother Yuan, and Brother Zhang, if you can mobilize Some local soldiers are ambushing all around, presumably they can get something."

……

Outside the gate of Lu Mansion, Li Xuan exchanged hands with Lu Yuanming, Yuan Yi, Zhang Chun, Yu Yong, Lu Xiangxian and others one after another, then got on the horse and returned to the station.

The moment the car curtain was lowered, Li Xuan's eyes flashed from a corner at the end of the street.

[Zong Ling, a true immortal Taoist girl, congenital and true species of great perfection]

[Xin Jian, the head of the South Hall of Wusheng Dao Mountain, the congenital true seed state is perfect]

His face instantly became serious.

True Immortal Dao has been active in the mountainous areas of Hunan and Jiangxi all the year round, preaching in a low-key manner, but its essence is one of the true teachings of the Devil's Cult.

Although the Tianyin Sect is currently in charge of the leader of the Demon Sect, in fact, it was only drawn into the small sect of the Demon Sect during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it did not gradually rise until the end of the Sui Dynasty when the world was in chaos.

While other sects were beaten to pieces because they competed with the Tang Dynasty, the Tianyin Sect gradually rose and became the actual leader of the Demon Sect, and all the branches of the Demon Sect obeyed its orders.

Although the True Immortal Dao has declined in recent years, it was originally the master of the Demon Sect, and it has been dormant for many years, and it is gradually recovering its vitality.

Half of the land of Hunan and Jiangxi is Hongzhou where Li Xuan is located.

Hongzhou Mountain roared up from time to time, and behind the attack on prefectures and counties, there were many shadows of true immortality.

Those Right Qianniuwei in Li Xuan's mansion had the most dealings with them, even Li Xuan was once assassinated by a true immortal killer.

It's just that I never thought that the true immortal way came from the land of Hunan and Jiangxi to the land of Wuyue on the left of the river.

Could it be that this time the Tianyin Sect had an incident, and many branches of the Demon Sect also came to help?

Over the years, the various branches of the Demon Sect have been severely attacked by the court, especially the Youqianniuwei. They are scattered all over the place. In addition to monitoring the clan kings, they are also monitoring the traces of the rebellion of the local wealthy families and the Demon Sect.

Once something is discovered, there will be a severe blow immediately, and the other generation dare not appear in front of others so easily.

Wushengdao, when Li Xuan was in Luoyang, he had fought against Wushengdao.

Even Su Sanliang, the deputy head of Luo Tang, the head of Wusheng Dao, died indirectly at the hands of Li Xuan.

What's more, now in Li Xuan's hands, there is also Su Sanliang's daughter Su Lianqiao.

Look, he hasn't arrived in Wuzhou yet, the people of Wu Sheng Dao have already started to move.

Coincidentally, the people of Hangzhou Mansion should also move at the same time.

In a pool of stagnant water, you can't see anything. Only by moving can you know who is a human and who is a ghost.

The land of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Shannan Road are all very far away from the land of Wuyue.

Is it really to help the Tianyin Sect win by coming all the way here?
The curtain of the carriage was lowered, and Li Xuan's carriage left quickly.

At the entrance of the Lu residence, everyone in the Lu residence quickly returned to the residence. At this time, Xin Jian and Zong Ling walked out from the corner instead.

Seeing the back of Li Xuan leaving, Xin Jian and Zong Ling were cautious and neither spoke.

As soon as they turned around, the two of them had disappeared into the vast crowd in the distance.

……

Under the night, on the shore of the West Lake, there are scattered figures and flower boats withered.

A man in ochre-colored clothes with the appearance of a housekeeper was pacing back and forth on the shore of the lake with several subordinates.

At this moment, Mr. Qi, who was wearing a light green robe, came in a small boat with two followers.

"Butler Xi, are you sure the King of Nanchang is coming? Why hasn't he shown up yet?" Mr. Qi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

At the moment, on the big boat in the lake, apart from the people he had greeted at the beginning, there were also some famous local experts invited by Kui Gong.

Today's banquet itself was jointly organized by Mr. Qi and the Wei family, but he never showed his face outside.

But he didn't expect that the King of Nanchang would invite some of his other classmates to attend the banquet tonight through Yu Yong.

Fortunately, he got the news in advance today, so he was prepared. Otherwise, if the king of Nanchang succeeded in winning people's hearts, if he was not careful, he would be stabbed in the back without knowing it.

Therefore, after getting the news, Mr. Qi very quickly sent an invitation to all the students to join the banquet on today's cruise ship and compete for hearts and minds.

Everything was promised to be fine at first, but when he arrived, he realized that almost all the people who attended the meeting tonight were those who greeted King Nanchang at the dock area yesterday. Apart from that, there were not many other students at all.

This made him feel uneasy for a while, and what surprised him the most was that even King Nanchang was late in the end.

Could it be that he won't come tonight?

When I was on the boat before, some people complained that they should join the King of Nanchang first instead of coming privately.

"My lord may not know. The master did not specify when he will arrive on the invitation to the king of Nanchang. Therefore, no matter when the king of Nanchang arrives tonight, it is not considered late." Xi Steward replied lightly. Mr. Qi said a word.

With cold eyes, it seemed that he didn't pay attention to Mr. Qi at all.

At this moment, on the street in the distance, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes.
