Chapter 1178: Stay and help me
When you arrive at Huaiyang Road, as long as there are people, they will all be welcomed.
Li Xiangnan, the king of Anyang, seems to be a superstar, but no one comes to ask for an autograph, maybe someone wants to, but he doesn't dare, there are guards with sharp blades in front and back, who dares to cross it?
However, everyone's cheers and worship still surprised Xiao Yao.
He really didn't expect that Li Xiangnan would be so popular with the people.
In fact, if Xiao Yao really understands Nanchu and understands what has happened over the years, he can completely dispel the doubts in his heart.
In Southern Chu, the people can not respect the supreme of the imperial city located in the center of Southern Chu, but they cannot disrespect the King of Anyang, who guards Southern Chu.
This has nothing to do with how many elite soldiers and good generals there are under the hands of King Anyang, and it has nothing to do with King Anyang's recruitment of wise men, just because the people know that if it weren't for King Anyang, if it weren't for the two generations of the Li family, Nanchu would not be the current Nanchu long ago.
At the beginning of the Great War between Southern and Northern Chu, 170,000 people died in Southern Chu.
This number sounds scary, but if it weren't for King Anyang, I don't know how many times this number would have multiplied.
Li Xiangnan's father, armed with a raised knife and thirty people, defended a city.
Isn't that enough to say anything?
Someone once said that the rise and fall of a country has something to do with the monarch, the Chinese military of the dynasty, and the relatives of the emperor, but it has nothing to do with the people, and the people are the most innocent.
And the people also have a mirror in their hearts, knowing who really protects themselves, and who carries a knife dripping with blood and sticks to the country.
Xiao Yao became more and more confused, the time and place are favorable, as long as Li Xiangnan is willing, he can sit on the dragon chair at any time, why not?
He also believes that as long as Li Xiangnan sits on that dragon chair, I am afraid that Nanchu will be even more peaceful.
In fact, not only Xiao Yao couldn't figure it out, but the people of Nanchu couldn't figure it out either.
They wish that Li Xiangnan could rise as soon as possible, as long as they are needed, they are immediately willing to put pen to paper and help Li Xiangnan enter the imperial city.
The one in the imperial city actually didn't understand either.
If he was Li Xiangnan, he would definitely do it, Li Xiangnan didn't!
Wayward?
When they arrived at the Anyang Palace, Xiao Yao and the others also stayed.
Speaking of which, compared to Liwangfu, Anyang Wangfu doesn't know how much bigger it is, but there are many fewer people inside.
Xiao Yao couldn't understand why this was the case, but Wu Wutong was very clear, and explained it to Xiao Yao in private.
"Because King Li is afraid, King Anyang is not afraid. ”
This sentence made Xiao Yao immediately have an epiphany.
That's right.
Wu Wutong's father, King Li of the northern foothills, was worried that what he did would attract the dissatisfaction of the emperor, and he might not know how to deal with the Liwang Mansion when the time came, in fact, the emperor in the northern foothills had already regarded the King of Li as a thorn in the flesh, otherwise he would not have let Wang Wenge rush all the way to the Liwang Mansion to ask for military power.
The Liwang Mansion is too big, and the emperor will be unhappy.
There are few people in King Li's mansion, and King Li is too serious, and the emperor will still be worried.
Li Xiangnan is not afraid.
He is willing to keep a low profile, but even if he is not low-key, what can others do?
Who dares to point at his nose and scold?
This is probably the biggest difference between Li Xiangnan and King Li, in the final analysis, King Li is still lacking in confidence, if he can have such an opportunity as Li Xiangnan, such ability, and so many people under his hands Li Xiangnan, what does he have to worry about?
After entering the Anyang Palace, Xiao Yao and others moved in, which was also at the invitation of Li Xiangnan.
In fact, Xiao Yao also wanted to leave immediately, but Li Xiangnan said that he hoped that Xiao Yao and the others could stay for the time being, have a good time, rest and rest, and he was not in a hurry anyway.
Everyone is so polite, even if Xiao Yao is reluctant, he is embarrassed to just throw his sleeves and leave, then he is a little uneasy.
However, Xiao Yao also had some doubts and worries in his heart.
He always felt that Li Xiangnan was not a simple person.
Although Xiao Yao saved Li Xiangnan's life before, and cured Li Xiangnan's wheezing by the way, Li Xiangnan has also done the revenge that should be given and the favor that should be returned, so there is no need to serve Xiao Yao.
Is it affectionate?
Maybe, but certainly not exactly.
However, if it weren't for Hong Feisheng, he might still have to worry, but now that Hong Feisheng is here, he has nothing to worry about.
In the evening, Xiao Yao and the other four went to the dinner together.
There were many people at the dinner, several tables, and everyone up and down the Li family looked at Xiao Yao and the others with a curious look.
This is the first time Li Xiangnan has returned with people with such fanfare.
Although Li Xiangnan also said that Xiao Yao was his savior, there was no need to treat him so politely!
However, this is the Anyang Palace, and it is the place where Li Xiangnan said everything, even if others were curious in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask more.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yao saw Li Xiangnan's wife and children again.
In fact, what surprised Xiao Yao the most was that Li Xiangnan only had one daughter-in-law, that is, the woman he saw before, Princess Zheng, who had never taken a concubine.
How many people will be surprised and incomprehensible that a prince is still a prince who is above the emperor, and he has only one daughter-in-law?
Blinded the identity of King Anyang.
After the dinner, Xiao Yao returned to his room, and as soon as he closed the door with his front foot, there was another knock on the door.
Pull open the door, or Li Xiangnan.
He carried a jug of wine and two glasses in his other hand.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yao also drank a lot.
"Brother Li, haven't you drunk yet?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
Li Xiangnan entered the room, put all the wine jugs and glasses on the table, pulled another chair and sat down, and Xiao Yao sat in front of him.
"Brother Xiao, I know you're not simple. As soon as Li Xiangnan sat down, he said such a sentence.
Xiao Yao frowned slightly, a little confused, and asked, "Why do you say this?"
"Your strength, a master!" Li Xiangnan poured wine into both wine glasses before continuing, "When I first found out, I was still quite surprised in my heart, after all, you are only in your twenties this year, and it is enough for me to be able to enter a heavy master." ”
Xiao Yao laughed.
What Li Xiangnan said next made Xiao Yao even more surprised.
"I also know that the man in the Taoist robe is Hong Feisheng. ”
Xiao Yao set off a storm in his heart.
Seeing the surprised expression on Xiao Yao's face, Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, and his smile was full of pride.
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, you didn't know before, it was a guess, and now, my reaction has also verified your guess, right?"
Li Xiangnan was not embarrassed, nodded, and said, "That's true, I just guessed it before, but I didn't dare to be sure." ”
"So you lied to me. Xiao Yao said helplessly.
If it were someone else, it would really be impossible to cheat anything, and Xiao Yao's psychological quality was not ordinarily good. Helplessly, this is the king of Anyang, so he didn't expect that the other party was deceiving himself.
"Brother Xiao, you are young, you have such a realm, and you can still let Hong Feisheng Dao Leader travel with you, I am more and more curious, who are you?" Li Xiangnan raised his wine glass, took a sip, squinted at Xiao Yao and asked.
Xiao Yao didn't speak, but just drank a glass of wine with Li Xiangnan.
Xiao Yao didn't say it, and Li Xiangnan didn't ask, but just said his request directly.
"I want you to stay and help me. ”
"What can I help you?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Actually, I don't know, I just feel like I need a master by my side. Li Xiangnan said with a smile, "Over the years, there have been many people from Beichu, all of whom want to kill me, but I am not a vegetarian, they all come and go, but one after another, I can't stand it." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiangnan paused and continued: "How can I not fight their idea when they beat me? Some people say that the current Southern Chu is actually quite good, and although there are some minor frictions between Southern Chu and Northern Chu, they are still peaceful, and they fart out! As long as Southern Chu and Northern Chu are still there, it is impossible to be peaceful, and whether it is Southern Chu or Northern Chu, they all want to swallow each other. ”
Xiao Yao nodded, he had thought so before.
Li Xiangnan sighed and said, "It's just that Southern Chu and Northern Chu have been in a stalemate for so long, no matter who it is, it is not a simple matter to achieve an overwhelming victory!"
Xiao Yao said with a smile: "The direction of the war is not something that one or two people can decide. ”
"I know. Li Xiangnan smiled helplessly and said, "I also know that even if Hong Feisheng is allowed to stay and help me now, it is impossible for Nan Chu to rise immediately, but it is better than nothing! If Hong Feisheng is really willing to stay, we can have more hope and more chances of winning." ”
Xiao Yao coughed, and suddenly said, "Brother Li, since you have said this, can I ask you a question?"
Li Xiangnan was slightly stunned, thinking about it carefully, the chat between him and Xiao Yao has always been asking questions, and this seems to be the first time Xiao Yao has asked questions.
Therefore, Li Xiangnan was not the slightest bit ambiguous, and immediately said: "Brother Xiao, it doesn't matter, as long as I can answer it, I will definitely answer it." ”
Xiao Yao saw Li Xiangnan's serious expression on his face, and knew that the other party was not slandering himself, so he simply asked directly: "I just don't understand, no matter from which angle you look at, you have a great advantage, why do you have to be the king of Anyang?"
Although Xiao Yao raised his own questions, he didn't make what he said too clearly.
He is a smart man, and so is Li Xiangnan.
As long as the question is said here, he believes that Li Xiangnan will be able to understand what he really wants to ask.
Li Xiangnan seemed to smile and looked at Xiao Yao.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Brother Xiao, you want to ask me, why don't you become that emperor?"
Xiao Yao didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
