Chapter 283 Misunderstanding
In the evening, the sky was dark, and far away in the sky, the setting sun reflected the red glow, dyed the misty Honghu Lake red, and also covered Jiangling City with a rosy robe, like a gentle and demure woman waiting to be married.

Jiangling City was the capital of Chu and Ying in ancient times. Since ancient times, it has been the key to the south, the fortress in the north and the south, and the battleground for military strategists. Xiao Mian was also based here, and only then did he have the capital to proclaim himself emperor and compete in the world.

However, since entering the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty established Guanzhong as its capital, and took Guanzhong as the base to pay equal attention to Luoyang, Taiyuan, Yangzhou and other places. However, consciously or unconsciously, it only forgot Jiangling, the most important place in the south of Lingnan, and even ignored military affairs. The same is true above, the official title of Jiangling's military and political chief was not adorned with a "big" character like Yang, and he was just a bare Jingzhou governor.

But because of this, Jiangling became more and more quiet and peaceful, and it was not so eye-catching among the more than [-] states in the world.

Li Ke was in this seemingly quiet city of Jiangling, standing in the side courtyard of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, feeling the lake breeze blowing on his face, looking at the setting sun in the afterglow of the sky, but there was still this slight shock in his heart.

It was hard for him to imagine that the woman he had met in Chang'an before and who saved his life this time was actually Wu Meiniang, the empress Wu Zhou who would drive his Li clan to death in the future.The shock that Wu Meiniang brought to Li Ke was far greater than that when Xiao Yuexian revealed his identity.

But fortunately, Wu Meiniang is still young at this time, she is just a girl with little experience in the world, and she is not as ruthless and scheming as she will be decades later, so Li Ke is far from needing to worry.

For Li Ke, now Wu Meiniang, he is more surprised and curious, and has no other worries. After all, although he himself has escaped from the remnants of the remnant party, he is still in danger and can't take it easy. However, his top priority is to try to return to Yangzhou safely.

"Mr. Li fell into the water for a long time in the morning, and the cold air has not gone away. The doctor specially asked you to take care of your body, and don't catch the wind and cold again. Why is it still blowing in the courtyard?"

Li Ke was thinking about how to avoid the powerful remnant party in Jiangling by himself in the courtyard, and when he returned to Yangzhou, he heard Wu Meiniang's voice.

Li Ke heard Wu Meiniang's voice, turned back to look at Wu Meiniang, smiled and replied: "Young lady, I'm a martial arts practitioner, and my body is still strong. It's not a problem to blow some wind, but if you spend a whole day If you stay indoors, you will get bored."

Wu Meiniang has seen Li Ke's skill with her own eyes. In the dark, he can draw a strong bow and shoot a ribbon tied with a lantern three feet away. More often, his body bones are naturally strong, and it is not comparable to ordinary teenagers of the same age.

Wu Meiniang said: "Young master has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he must be different from ordinary people. Since you feel bored, it's good to go out to get some fresh air, but don't be greedy for the cold and catch the cold, you can save yourself."

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words of concern, Li Ke cupped his hands and thanked: "Thank you for your concern, my lady. I have my own measure. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay you generously."

Standing in front of Li Ke, Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke, who was dressed in a cloth shirt, but still solemn and swearing, and said with a smile: "When I was in Chang'an, you helped me, I remember it deeply, but now you The luck is not good, so I should help you again, and I never thought of asking you for a reward. But it is good for you to still have this kind of determination, and it is better than those mediocre people who are willing to waste their time and only know how to sigh for days. "

Bad luck?

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Ke seemed to be comforting him and persuading him to make progress. He was a little stunned for a while, he didn't know why Wu Meiniang said that about him, so he asked curiously: "My little lady and I will only meet again for a day, I didn't mention it in my words, how does my little lady know that my luck is not good?"

Li Ke's question was originally intended to ask Wu Meiniang why he made such a remark, but Wu Meiniang felt that his luck was not good recently, but Wu Meiniang had already preconceived it, and Li Ke's words reached Wu Meiniang's ears, but Wu Meiniang only thought that Li Ke had admitted that his luck was bad Jia Zhi said, but I don't know how Wu Meiniang knew about it.

Wu Meiniang said that Li Ke's luck was not good, so she had her guess. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Wu Meiniang once met Li Ke in Chang'an. , naturally a child of a powerful family.

But now, just over a year later, Li Ke has been reduced to this place from Chang'an, the original brocade clothes have been replaced with coarse cloth clothes, and the entourage behind him has disappeared. If it was not for bad luck, how could it be so.

It's just that although Wu Meiniang had such speculations in her heart, she also believed in her own speculations. However, in front of Li Ke, she was worried that Li Ke would be a little angry. It's just a random guess, the young master was originally in Chang'an, but now he hastily appeared in Jiangling alone, presumably something happened to the family, that's why this happened."

After listening to Wu Meiniang's words, Li Ke finally understood. No wonder Wu Meiniang said this, it turned out to be so.

However, Li Ke was happy to accept Wu Meiniang's words and was unwilling to refute them.

Wu Meiniang may as well treat him as a down-and-out son of a rich man, this will save a lot of trouble, and prevent other rumors from spreading, so that interested people will know his whereabouts.

So Li Ke also followed Wu Meiniang's words, and responded: "A few days ago, there was a sudden change in the lower mansion, and I made Xiaoniang laugh."

Wu Meiniang heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Young master, why did you say that? You are young, and you are facing great changes. It is not easy to be so open-minded. However, you don't have to be too sad, you are good at martial arts. At the moment, the northwest border is not easy. Ping, it is the time when the court is employing people, if you have the heart, you can go to the northwest to join the army, and after you have made great achievements, there will be a day when you will have a good family."

Wu Meiniang was already intelligent, and she was the daughter of a samurai, she was born in a noble family, and her vision was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary girls, so Li Ke was not surprised when she said these words.

Li Ke said: "What my little lady said is very true, and I have exactly the same intention."

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Young Master, it's good if you have such a plan. I have already mentioned the matter about you to my mother. If you don't give up, you can stay at the residence for a while, and make other plans after you recover."

Li Ke said: "If it can be done like this, it would be the best, but it's just a matter of trouble to the family."

Wu Meiniang waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, my father is the governor of Jingzhou and also a military official, and he likes to support younger generations. If the young master is interested, I can also introduce the young master to my father."

Wu Meiniang's words were originally well intentioned, but Li Ke shook his head hastily after hearing her words.

Wu Meiniang is not a courtier, so she doesn't know Li Ke by herself, but the warrior Xun is an important minister, and she has met Li Ke on several occasions in the court, so she knows Li Ke, if the warrior Xun sees Li Ke, naturally I recognized it.

Li Ke is the king, and the warrior Xun is the minister. As usual, Li Ke would not be afraid that the warrior Xun would recognize him. Knowing that Li Ke is here, wouldn't Li Ke be looking for his own death?

Li Ke immediately said: "My little lady has the good intentions to accept it, but if you want to strengthen your family, you still rely on yourself, so you don't need to bother Ying Guogong about this matter."
