Chapter 287 Will go to Jingzhou
"This Mr. Li is both civil and military. He is young and heroic. In the long run, he is definitely not something in the pool. He will definitely do something in the future." The old slave stood in the courtyard, watching Li Ke's leaving figure, and said to Wu Meiniang beside him.

Wu Meiniang said: "That's right, although Mr. Li and I don't know each other very well, he behaves appropriately, neither humble nor overbearing. He must be a man with a long history. , to be able to breed such talents.”

It has been more than ten years since the Tang Dynasty, and the world is peaceful, unlike the chaotic times in the late Sui Dynasty when the heroes were all over the place, the time when the reckless became famous has long passed. Although it cannot be said that all the heroes in the world are famous, it is still true that it is difficult for a poor family to have a noble son, let alone People like Li Ke.

Although Li Ke is "down and out" right now, he can't pretend to be calm and indifferent in his gestures.

The old slave asked Wu Meiniang, "Maybe I can guess which family he is from in Beijing?"

Wu Meiniang thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Young Master Li has always been secretive about his identity. He never mentions it. Even if he asks occasionally, he deliberately evades it, and I don't know."

The old slave listened to Wu Meiniang's words, but smiled and said: "Although I have not left Jiangling, but I am often outside the mansion, I have heard some news, and I don't know if my guess is right or not."

Seeing the smile on the old slave's face, Wu Meiniang knew that he must have heard something, so she asked curiously: "What news did Uncle Li hear, but it is related to Mr. Li's family background?"

The old slave nodded and said: "My little lady, have you ever heard of the name of the old Huainan King Jing Li Shentong?"

Wu Meiniang said: "The king of Huainan is the founding father of the Tang Dynasty. I know it myself. Could it be that Mr. Li is also related to the king of Huainan?"

The King of Huainan is also a military official of the clan, although his reputation is not as good as that of Hejian King Li Xiaogong and Rencheng King Li Daozong, but he is still considered one of the figures, and Wu Meiniang has heard of it.

The old slave said: "I heard yesterday that the eldest son of King Huainan, Lord Jiaodong, and the governor of Minzhou, Li Daoyan, were defeated by Tuoba Chici, the chief of the party, because of the unfavorable war in the western frontier, and nearly ten thousand of his troops were killed and injured. In the border area, Li Wenjue, the son of Li Daoyan, was also demoted to common people and expelled from Chang'an."

When Wu Meiniang heard the words, she already understood what the old slave meant, so she asked, "Uncle Li, you mean that Mr. Li is the eldest son of Mr. Jiaodong, Li Wenjang?"

The old slave replied: "If you count the age, Li Wenshou should not be as young as the weak crown, but he is about the same age as Mr. Li, and Li Wenshou belongs to the clan, and he also came from the general family. His grandfathers were all from the army, so he can have Mrs. Li. This kind of attitude is reasonable."

"So that's how it is." Wu Meiniang nodded slightly after listening to the old slave's words, and unconsciously believed it seven or eight points in her heart.

When Li Ke was in Chang'an back then, even the grandson's nephew wanted to give him three points. It can be seen that Li Ke is by no means an ordinary son of a powerful family, and it is not impossible to say that he is a son of the clan.

In addition, Li Ke was good at shooting when he was young, and the ribbon that was one finger wide away from three feet away was made by hand. something like a coincidence.

Therefore, in Wu Meiniang's mind, Li Ke is probably Li Wenju, the son of Li Daoyan, Duke of Jiaodong, but how could she think, and how dare she think, that the "down and down" young man who stayed at his house was actually the second son of the Emperor Tang, honorable The incomparable current king of Chu.

This old slave has been with the warrior Xun for more than ten years, and he watched Wu Meiniang grow up. The old slave has no heirs, so in his eyes, Wu Meiniang is no different from his own daughter.

The old slave looked at Wu Meiniang standing in front of him, with a smile in his eyes, and said to Wu Meiniang with a smile: "It's a pity that Mr. Li's family has fallen. Otherwise, with his character and ability, he would be a good match for my little lady."

Wu Meiniang seems to be different from ordinary girls. Ordinary girls are very thin-skinned, and they also understood some things about men and women when they were in their early ten years. Instead of blushing, he stared at the old slave with wide eyes, shook his head solemnly and said: "My future husband must be a dragon and phoenix among men, a rare hero at that time, not a poor young man in the market."

Hearing this, the old slave said to Wu Meiniang: "Although Mr. Li is down and out now, with his talent, he must not be a generation who has lived under others for a long time. The relationship with His Majesty will not be restored every day, the so-called riches and honors are just a matter of time."

In my mind, the reason why Wu Meiniang looked down on this Mr. Li was mostly because of his current situation, but Li Daoyan was not an ordinary military official, he was a son of the clan, and his father Li Shentong had a close relationship with Li Shimin, Li Daoyan Although it was a temporary relegation, but it will not be like this for a long time, Li Shimin will definitely use it after a while, and by then, Mr. Li will naturally no longer be a homeless young man.

Li Daoyan's uncles and brothers were appointed kings and generals in the court. It is difficult for Li Daoyan to reinstate himself. The old slave's thinking is not bad, but how does he know Wu Meiniang's heart, Wu Meiniang is the daughter of the Duke, she wants to How can it be so simple to marry an ordinary clan child? If she wants to marry, she must marry a person who is extremely respectable.

------------

Li Ke was trapped in Jiangling, he didn't want to reveal his identity easily, and he couldn't get out of the city.

To the southeast, Shuzhou, here is already the border of the Jianghuai River. If you go further west, you will be completely out of the Huainan border.

Since Li Ke disappeared, these days, the people of Chu Palace have never stopped for half a day, seizing even the slightest chance, they have to look for Li Ke's traces everywhere.

Chu, Yang, He, Lu and other Huainan prefectures and counties have been searched almost all over, and the notices have been pasted on the city gates and the densely populated official roads, but there is still no news, even if it is Shuzhou. , then the only way to go is to find a needle in a haystack.

In the Shuzhou government office, Qin Huaidao, who was ordered to go to Shuzhou to investigate, was wandering back and forth in the lobby, sighing from time to time, watching the sky gradually darken, the anxiety in his heart was written on his face.

"General Qin, General Qin." Just as it was getting late, Qin Huaidao was thinking about what to do when he found nothing today, when suddenly there was a cry from outside the mansion's gate, following the call, A moment later, a servant from the government office walked in quickly.

"General Qin, there is news from His Highness." The guard said to Qin Huai as soon as he entered the door.

When Qin Huaidao heard the news, he said happily, "Where did you get the news?"

The guard pointed to the fisherman-like man who came in behind him, and said to Qin Huai: "General Qin, this is the man who revealed the official announcement and claimed to have seen His Highness."

Qin Huaidao looked at the fisherman standing behind the guard and asked, "When and where did you meet Your Highness?"

The fisherman replied: "Six days ago, I met His Highness by the Wanshui River. His Highness looks the same as the picture on the list except that he is a little thinner."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaidao asked excitedly, "Do you know where your Highness has gone?"

The fisherman thought for a while and said, "I really don't know where your highness has gone, but the boatman on the boat your highness was on that day bought a fish from my fish store, and his tone sounded like a Jingzhou accent."

"Are you audibly convincing?" Qin Huaidao asked hastily.

The fisherman replied: "I have also seen some merchants from Jingzhou, and they speak like that. It should not be wrong."
