Great Lawyer

Chapter 800 Li Xiao and Ji Yu ([-])

Annan's territory map is in the shape of a long strip. Most of the prefectures and counties live along the coast. Du Jiuyan leaned on the carriage and counted the place names on the territory map. There are a total of 41 state capitals, and the total area is estimated to be only one Huguang plus Jiangxi, perhaps not yet.

Shenglong, Kyoto is close to Zhen'an, and it is also facing the sea. Chongyatan is between Shenglong and Chong'an Mansion. There is a bigger port on Chongyatan, called Tianhai Bay. According to King Gui, the scenery there It is quite beautiful, and the sunset view of the sea and sky is rare in the world.

"Have you been reading this book recently?" King Gui flipped through the book Du Jiuyan brought out, which was a theory on state governance written by a great Confucian in the former dynasty.

Du Jiuyan nodded, sighed and said, "What the prince said is true. Du often feels that he is illiterate."

"If you are illiterate, there will be no capable people in this world." King Gui said.

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, laughed, and said, "My lord, you are just like that Wang Po, and I am the melon in your hand. It is not ambiguous at all when one's own people praise their own."

"Ambiguous, or is it one of us?" King Gui said, "My daughter-in-law is rare in the world. She is not only smart but also talented."

Du Jiuyan laughed loudly, nodded and said, "My lord is right, and Du thinks what you said is quite right."

The two laughed and quarreled for a while, King Gui lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Guo Ao who was following him, and said with frowned, "Then Guo Mouse, are you really carrying it?"

Song Jiyi, Su Ningyue, and Liu Jiao didn't come, Liu Gan guaranteed their safety.

Dou Rongxing planned to follow her for a few months and come back to pick up Liu Jiao when she stabilized.

Originally, they thought they would be deserted without three people, but they didn't expect that Guo Ao followed them with a stern face, as if he was loyal and ready to die.

With a wave of his hand, Du Jiuyan agreed.

"His idle gang is very familiar with Shenglong. With him around, we can understand the local affairs faster." Du Jiuyan said, "He knows some things better than the king Li Xiao. After all, Li Xiao He is also from a powerful family background, since he was young, he is well-clothed and well-fed, and he is not as clear about the sufferings of the people and the shortcomings of the government as outsiders like them."

"It's just a little ugly." King Gui was not very satisfied, "I'll bear with it and take a few less glances."

"Master," Gu Qingshan said through the curtain of the car, "I have already seen King Li's welcoming chariots and horses ahead."

Du Jiuyan got out of the car, under the scorching sun, he saw a line of people standing in line, the sound of silk and bamboo was lively.

"Very enthusiastic." Du Jiuyan said.

I don't know how Ji Yu is doing, and whether he came with him.Ji Yu was not mentioned in Li Xiao's letter.

When the car stopped, King Gui got out of the car first, then turned around and helped Du Jiuyan get off.

Du Jiuyan was dressed as a woman today, and the two stood side by side, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite beauty of their appearance.

"My lord." On the opposite side, Li Xiao strode over, crossed his hands and saluted from afar, and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, your lord still has the same demeanor."

King Gui returned the gift and introduced Du Jiuyan to Li Xiao: "This is my wife!" He then introduced Li Xiao to Du Jiuyan.

"Princess Gui!" Li Xiao didn't put on airs at all, saluted Du Jiuyan, and took a quick look at Du Jiuyan. She was tall, thin, with bright black eyes, and she looked like a very smart and wealthy woman.

Li Xiao was secretly surprised, it turned out that Du Jiuyan was so beautiful in women's clothing, he thought the other party was a strong woman with a rough appearance and gender indiscernibility.

After all, Du Jiuyan's name and ability, even in Annan, he has heard of it.

With such a capable woman, it is impossible to imagine her appearance.

"Greetings to King Li." Du Jiuyan replied.Li Xiao is tall, with thick eyebrows like swords, high nose and deep eyes, especially these eyes, which are a little light blue, with an exotic style that is rarely seen in the inner region.

Du Jiuyan felt that he was probably of mixed race.

However, he came from a powerful family, so it would be surprising if he really had mixed blood.

After all, a family of aristocrats pays attention to the purity of blood, and marriage is also a mutual help, and they will not walk around with common people, let alone foreigners.

"There is still half an hour's journey from here to the king's city. The weather is hot, why not leave early?" Li Xiao and King Gui said.

King Gui nodded and said, "Let's go to Wangcheng first."

Li Xiao greeted Gu Qingshan and Zhou Xiao one by one, keeping his posture low.

On the road again, after walking for a quarter of an hour, we entered Shenglong City.The city gate is not high, and it is not as majestic as the prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but after entering the city, you can immediately feel the excitement and prosperity.

The difference is that Thang Long’s house is very high. I don’t know if it’s because the weather is hot and the tall house is cooler.

Martial law was enforced on the road, and internal guards were there early to stabilize the people on the roadside.

On both sides of the road, the kneeling people are all common people, wearing mostly gray, black and blue clothes, wearing bamboo hats and straw sandals.

There are men and women on the road, but they look very gray and lose their vitality.

"Is Li Xiao the son of the Li family?" Du Jiuyan asked King Gui in the car.

King Gui replied: "No. It is said that his mother is a blue-eyed orchid from the ocean. As soon as he arrived in Thang Long, his father saw him and took him to his back house as a concubine. Orchid gave birth to two sons in the back house. Li Xiao is the second son, the elder brother died when he fell into the sea when he was six years old."

"It didn't take long for his mother to leave. Four years later, eight-year-old Li Xiao left the house alone and lived with his nurse for nearly five or six years. Afterwards, because of his intelligence and prudence, he won the attention of his father. Return to the Li family. At that time, his father was already Lord Li, and he had two sons from the concubines and four sons from the concubines."

Du Jiuyan smacked his lips, the population is really thriving.

"At this time, the four clans have been fighting for many years, fighting back and forth to grab the territory. Li Xiao came out at this time, won over Lord Zheng, suppressed the other two clans and became king."

"Where are his two eldest brothers?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Li Xiao was born of a concubine, so it was not his turn to ascend the throne and become king.

"Dead." King Gui drank tea, looked at Du Jiuyan, and said with a half-smile, "The boat capsized when we went out to sea."

Du Jiuyan nodded and sighed, "Sea water, eat people!"

Li Xiao's direct brother also drowned in the sea.

King Gui was amused by her expression: "He can sit in this position, he must have worked hard on the white bones."

"Amazing!" Du Jiuyan touched King Gui's face and said lovingly, "My prince is better, he is kind and beautiful."

King Gui rolled her eyes at her, and said, "If I were him, I wouldn't be cleaner than him."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows.

"What do you say about your identity? He is not a descendant. If he wants to get ahead, he has to step on others to take the position. Otherwise, he will be the bastard son of Hu Ji for the rest of his life." Gui Wang said, "I am different. I am a queen's descendant. I am loved by my father and brother. The elder brothers who are concubines have no hostility towards me."

"If I am more indifferent and cruel, it will be a problem with my family education."

Du Jiuyan laughed, pinched King Gui's face and kissed him, and said, "My lord is right!"

"Little Sun's Laurel King Zhao Ding!" Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui was also in a good mood, kissed her, and said, "Du Jiuyan, Princess Gui of the Little Fox."

The two were talking, and the car stopped before they knew it.

Naturally, the royal city cannot be compared with the imperial city of the Great Zhou.Moreover, because the throne has been vacant for many years, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and most of the palaces are dilapidated.

After Li Xiao moved in, although it had been repaired, it still lacked the grandeur and majesty that a royal city should have.

"Yanyan," Lu Nianzong grabbed Du Jiuyan's sleeve and whispered, "I found that the little girl here is not good-looking."

Du Jiuyan looked at him, suppressed a smile and said, "You've looked at it, isn't it as good-looking as ours?"

"Hmm." Lu Nianzong said, "Black!"

Du Jiuyan looked around and said in a low voice: "This side is near the sea, and the girls from common people's families have to go out to do errands, so it's hard to have fair skin."

"However, ladies from famous families are definitely different, so don't worry."

Lu Nianzong chuckled and said, "Understood, I will hold back."

"Why do I feel that my uncle is getting more and more obscene?" Du Jiuyan asked King Gui.

King Gui glanced at Lu Nianzong, coughed, and said, "Maybe it's because I can't hide my nature."

"Maybe it was influenced by you." Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui snorted and said, "You asked me to share the 72 moves with him."

Du Jiuyan glanced at Lu Nianzong again.Lu Nianzong smiled at her, revealing eight white, bright and neat teeth.

"I misunderstood, my uncle is still very decent and lovely with big white teeth." Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui was speechless: "I have blinded my eyes."

"My lord," Li Xiao greeted him, cupped his hands and said, "Please!"

King Gui nodded, and walked with Du Jiuyan, and everyone followed them into the royal city.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Du Jiuyan saw a luxurious and bright woman in a grape purple palace dress, surrounded by maids and nuns, walking quickly towards this side.

"My lord, Mr. Du!" Ji Yu almost trotted, panting and stopped in front of them, when he saw them clearly, his eyes turned red and he held back, saluted them.

Ji Yu lost a lot of weight, and after losing her greenness, she looked dignified and luxurious in her grand attire.

Du Jiuyan was not surprised. When she met Ji Yu, she was not a little girl, she was mature and steady, and knew what she wanted.

"En." King Gui nodded slightly, he and Ji Yu didn't have much to say.

Ji Yu looked at Du Jiuyan excitedly, and said, "Cousin!"

"Not thin." Du Jiuyan said with a smile, "It seems that life is going well!"

Ji Yu smiled, stepped forward to support Du Jiuyan's arm, looked at Li Xiao, and said, "Your Majesty treats me very well. I have been very comfortable since I came here, so I can't lose weight."

This is of course a decent word, Ji Yu is not only thin, but also looks haggard.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "The sun is high, let's go to the palace to rest first."

A group of people entered the hall, the maid served tea and fruit, and everyone sat down around.

　Ms. Li had a fever, she was lying next to me and fell asleep humming, it's so easy to get sick this day when it's hot and cold!

　　You also pay more attention to your body, okay?
