Chapter 284 Samurai Yu

It was midsummer, when it was hot, and it was also when the sun was the longest in a lifetime.

It was already Xu time, if it was in the spring and autumn period, the sky would have darkened long ago, but at this time, there was still a ray of light in the south of Jiangling City, and even if we took advantage of this ray of light, weary in the Yamen The warrior Xun, the governor of Jingzhou, finally returned home.

"Father, you've returned home." Just as the warrior Xun returned to the mansion, Wu Meiniang, who was walking from the side courtyard to the main courtyard, happened to run into her, so she said.

Wu Meiniang is the second daughter of the warrior Xun, she has always been intelligent, and she is a little bit stronger than men, so she is very much loved by the warrior Xun. Wu Meiniang asked: "Today, the slaves in the mansion took you to swim in the Hong Lake, are you having fun?"

Wu Meiniang nodded, and looked at the tiredness on the warrior's face, and replied: "It's cool on the lake, and it's spacious, so it's much more enjoyable than staying in the mansion, but it's a pity that there are too many things in the father's mansion today, so I can't do it." It's a pity to go with him."

Hearing this, the samurai Xun asked curiously: "Ernan hasn't visited the government office today, so how do you know that daddy is so busy today that he can't leave?"

Wu Meiniang replied: "Father usually returns to the mansion before sunset, but he only came back at this time today. It's not because the government is busy, but why?"

Jingzhou is located in the south of the Five Ridges, not a border town, and there are few barbarians in the hinterland. The only thing that can cause trouble is the water bandits in the wild lakes, and most of these water bandits are not good enough, and the most are only a few dozen people. Therefore, Jiangling City has always been peaceful, and there are few wars.

The place is peaceful, and the governor of Jingzhou, the samurai Xun, is not very busy. Except at the end of the month, he rarely returns late, but today he is suddenly late, Wu Meiniang can guess it.

After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, the samurai Xun dissipated a bit of the sadness that had accumulated on his face, and turned to show his face a little: "You are smart, and you are much better than your two brothers who only know how to hang out on the streets all day long." few."

The samurai has passed five patrols, and in his early forties, he just adopted Wu Meiniang's biological mother, Yang Shi, and got a daughter. She is a middle-aged daughter, so she loves her very much, even more than those two useless sons - Wu Yuanqing , Wu Yuanshuang.

Wu Meiniang was held in the arms of the warrior Xun, and said to the warrior Xun: "Father still needs to take care of your body, don't get tired if you don't rest all day long, if some things are not urgent, you can leave them until tomorrow, why bother today."

The warrior Xun sighed softly and said, "Father can decide everything on his own. What happened today is unusual, so how dare a father be negligent."

Hearing this, Wu Meiniang showed a puzzled look on her face. In her eyes, father warrior Xun is the governor of Jingzhou, and he should be the Duke of Ying. Not to mention that he is in the south of the Five Ridges. He is a famous person, what is it that can make him so embarrassed that he dare not relax at all?

Wu Meiniang asked: "I don't know what happened in the prefecture and county recently, why is Dad so difficult?"

The warrior Xun replied: "It's not about Jingzhou, it's about Huainan."

Wu Meiniang then asked: "What can happen in Huainan, how can it affect Jiangling?"

The warrior Xun looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he said to Wu Meiniang, "I went south from Chang'an this morning, and Du Xiang, who promoted the military affairs of the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, sent an urgent order that His Majesty's next son, His Royal Highness King Chu, was captured in Huainan." , whose whereabouts are unknown, we must carefully check the water and land checkpoints in the neighboring counties to find the whereabouts of the king of Chu, so don't be careless."

Although Wu Meiniang is a woman, she is not one of those ladies who never go out of the house. On the contrary, she has heard of most of the famous people in the court, and she even has a little curiosity.

Wu Meiniang has always been like this, so she knows a lot about Li Ke who is always on the cusp of the storm. When the words of the warrior Xun heard, Wu Meiniang's delicate face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Even though she is the daughter of the Duke, Wu Meiniang has heard too many rumors about Chu Wang Li Ke. In Wu Meiniang's eyes, Chu Wang Li Ke is like a person who is like a cloud, but she just heard this news. How could she not be surprised? reason.

Chu Wang Li Ke, His Majesty's beloved son, such a person disappeared in Huainan territory under his rule. This news must have shocked the court and the world.The current checkpoints, especially the checkpoints of the states near Huainan, are probably already in full swing.And it's not surprising that his father behaved like this when he received the news today.

"It turned out to be so!" Wu Meiniang exclaimed softly.

The warrior Xun looked at the surprised look of his second daughter, and said to Wu Meiniang: "The news has not been fully disseminated yet, and not many people in Jingzhou know about it, so you can't tell others about it. It's also a good idea to tell you about it for my father." I want you to be more careful in the near future, it is best to stay in the mansion and not go out."

Wu Meiniang quickly responded: "Father, don't worry, I'll just stay at home these days."

"That's good. I will explain to your elder brother tomorrow that, these days, except for the purchases in the house, the door of the house will be closed." The samurai Xun heard this, nodded, and said to Wu Meiniang.

Li Ke is Li Shimin's second son, and he is loved by Li Shimin very much. Li Shimin attaches great importance to Li Ke's disappearance, otherwise he would not have sent his confidant and close minister Du Ruhui, who had been resting in the mansion for a long time, to go south to take charge.How can Huainan be the only one affected.

At this juncture, no one knows what will happen in the future. At this time, it is better not to listen, not to speak, and not to do anything. Even the people in the mansion need to be restrained, so as to avoid disaster.

But Wu Meiniang suddenly thought of something in her heart when she heard Warrior Xun's words, so she said to Warrior Xun: "What Dad said reminded me of something, I think I should explain it to Dad."

"What's the matter?" Samurai Xun asked, looking at Wu Meiniang's solemn expression.

Wu Meiniang replied: "Today when I was playing in the Honghu Lake, I met a man who almost drowned in the water, so I rescued him and put him in the mansion for the time being. I wonder if it's okay?"

The drowning man?

The warrior Xun thought for a while and said, "Hearing what you said, my father remembered something. There was indeed a merchant ship that was robbed by water bandits in the middle of the lake when it was crossing the lake this morning. Most of the goods and people on board were missing. , it may be said that the person you rescued was on this merchant ship."

Wu Meiniang heard the words, and echoed, "That's what I thought. I heard what he said, and that's why he fell into the water."

The warrior Xun said: "The one that was hijacked today was a merchant ship. Presumably the boatman you rescued today is the boatman on this ship. He should be fairly clean. You should take him in for two days first. It doesn't matter."

"That's good." In Wu Meiniang's mind, Li Ke's family has fallen, and it is not impossible to become a boatman on a boat, so he didn't think too much about it, and immediately agreed.

It's just that Wu Meiniang's thinking is natural and simple, how did she know that the young man she rescued and took in was His Royal Highness King Chu who made the entire Tang Dynasty turbulent and unstable.
