The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 672 The Trip to the Wu Palace

His eyes fell on Xuan Shijing's greeting card, Li Ke closed his eyes and sighed, Xiaojing will come tomorrow, how to fool him.

If it was someone else, Li Ke would make up a few nonsense casually and it would be over, but facing Xuan Shijing, for some reason, Li Ke seemed to feel that once he lied, he would be seen through. I'm too familiar with it.

But what Li Ke was more concerned about was that the letters sent by those people clearly stated where they were now, in the middle of Shu.

This made Li Ke feel a little flustered. Now Li Min's fiefdom is in the middle of Shu, and he is the king of Shu. If those people find Li Min, according to his younger brother's virtue, he may not be able to resist those people. The seduction of words.

Once Li Yin can't help but accept their bewitchment, the consequences may be very serious.

Do you want to write a letter to Li Yin?

But the letter was written, what if they haven't found Li Yin yet?

Because of this letter, Li Ke felt more concerned and worried about Li Yin in his heart. It seems that he still needs to find a chance to meet his younger brother, or let Li Yin find a chance to come to Chang'an. It is also possible to go to Shu in person, just ask Li Yin not to be stirred up.

After the second watch, Li Ke's study was still brightly lit.

"My lord, it's getting late. It's time to rest. The Marquis of Dongshan will come to visit tomorrow morning." The voice of the steward of Wu Wang's mansion came from outside the door. This was the third time the steward came to Li Ke's study to remind Li Ke. up.

"Okay, I know, I'm going back to rest now, and Uncle Wu should go back too." Li Ke in the study responded.

Afterwards, Li Ke packed up his desk, put the letter written by the old official of the former Sui Dynasty on the candlestick and lit it until only one corner was burned, then threw it into the unlit charcoal basin and let it melt into a trace. dust.

After tidying up, Li Ke left the study and returned to his bedroom.

Not long after Li Ke left, a black shadow flashed into Li Ke's study room, but at this time the study room was pitch black, and the black shadow could only grope carefully, taking advantage of the faint moonlight scattered outside the window, vaguely Looking at the scenery in front of you.

Lightly came to Li Ke's desk, and looked at it for a long time. On the desk, apart from the four treasures of the study that Li Ke usually used, there was only Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing's greeting card. The black shadow rummaged through the desk. After a lot of research, without any gains, they could only return empty-handed.

The next day, Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue packed up in Dongshanhou's Mansion, and after breakfast, they rode to the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion.

The concierge of Prince Wu's Mansion recognized Xuan Shijing. Seeing Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue at the door, he quickly came out to greet him, took the reins of the horse from Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue, and invited them into Wu After the palace, the concierge went to arrange the horses for the two of them.

Qin Bingyue was one step behind Xuan Shijing, and followed Xuan Shijing into Wu Wangfu, walking all the way, observing the surrounding environment of Wu Wangfu.

Xuan Shijing also noticed that Qin Bingyue was observing the environment of Prince Wu's Mansion, and said with a smile: "A person's personality can be vividly reflected in the place where he lives. For example, in Uncle Cheng's house, there are hardly many flowers and plants, except for the rockery. The pool is a huge martial arts arena, with eighteen kinds of weapons placed next to each other. It is also like the mansion of King Wei, with pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. It is very elegantly arranged. This is a common problem of literati. The layout of the palace, from the gate to the front hall, the style of the entire courtyard is clean and neat, which is also in line with King Wu's temperament of living in the army all year round, going straight, but if you look carefully at the decorations on the palace, it is not ugly. It is a coincidence of some points of the art of war, and to take the simplest example, if the hall in the front yard catches fire, the Wu Palace will not suffer any loss except for one hall."

Qin Bingyue listened and observed at the same time. After listening to Xuan Shijing's explanation, she also nodded and responded: "That's right, the rooms in the entire courtyard of the Wu Palace are very wide, even if someone breaks in, there is no cover. , I’m afraid it will be very difficult to get out.” After talking about Wu Wangfu, Qin Bingyue looked at Xuan Shijing and asked, “Then what about your Houfu, Lord Hou? You may live in Houfu for two or three days. Yes, but I didn't see what kind of style Lord Hou is."

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing laughed and said: "If you want to see my style, you can't go to the Shenhou Mansion, but to go to the Xuanwu Building, or the No. [-] Daozhengfang house after it is completed. Because nowadays The Dongshan Hou Mansion, after our family lived in it, basically nothing has changed, most of it still looks like the original Qin Wang Mansion."

"So that's the case, but looking at the Xuanwu Tower, I still can't see what kind of temperament Master Hou is." Qin Bingyue said.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said nothing, because his idea of ​​decorating the room is completely different from this era.

When they arrived at the hall, the servants in the hall said that Li Ke was still having breakfast, and asked Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue to wait in the hall for a while.

Li Ke slept too late last night, and did not fall asleep immediately after falling asleep. Instead, he tossed and turned on the bed and lay with his eyes open for a long time. He barely fell asleep until the middle of the night, so it was naturally difficult to get up in the morning. In addition, the housekeeper didn't disturb him on purpose, so when Li Ke got up in the morning, the rooster had already crowed three times.

After waiting for a long time, Li Ke arrived in the hall. Xuan Shijing got up and cupped his hands at Li Ke.

"His Royal Highness King Wu looks a bit haggard today."

Li Ke smiled: "To tell you the truth, the case of Chunwei's cheating was also a big one. Yesterday, I was called into the palace by my father. In the Palace of Ganlu, I was really questioned by my father. Chunwei cheated. Whether it is Whether it’s true or not, if this incident gets out, I will always bear some responsibility.”

"Your Majesty's requirements for His Highness King Wu are also stricter. In fact, if there is a problem with Chun Wei, all aspects and links cannot escape responsibility, and I can't blame you." Xuan Shijing said with emotion: "Actually, I came to His Highness today because of Your Highness probably knows about this matter, and now this case is jointly investigated by Dali Temple and Shenhou Mansion, even if it is for nothing else, for the sake of Shenhou Mansion and Your Highness's innocence, this case must be investigated The truth has come to light."

"What Xiaojing said is, let's sit down and talk." Li Ke stretched out his hand to signal Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue to sit down, and then ordered the servants in the mansion to serve tea for them.

"What clues can Xiaojing find now?" Li Ke looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.
