Chapter 669: See King Wu Again
Liu Xuanji's purpose has basically been achieved, and then as long as he fools them, it will be over, Park Zhiyong was happy for a while, and continued to ask Liu Xuanji: "Mr. Liu, when do you think I should get into trouble?" ”
Liu Xuanji wanted to perfunctory him casually, but he was afraid of showing his feet, so he said: "My lord, in fact, no matter what you do, the foundation is the most important, the Tang Dynasty is strong, and Silla's national strength is far from being comparable to it, but ten years later, it is not necessarily, now Silla has just annexed Baekje and Goguryeo, and the territory and people have expanded several times, it is the time for adults to show their strength, adults must not be impatient, and if they can't bear it, they must make a big plan, they must be taoguang and obscure, assist the king to strengthen Silla, and at the same time secretly encircle the ministers and cultivate their own henchmen, on the other hand, the Tang Dynasty, The Tang Emperor is aging, time is running out, the prince is cowardly, the ministers of the court are too powerful, the prince may not be able to suppress them after ascending the throne, the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, there will be some turmoil, once the Tang court is turbulent, the national strength declines, and it is difficult to take care of the frontier, the adults can take the opportunity to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and rapidly expand Silla, which will grow into a strong country in less than ten years, and then Silla will grow into a strong country, and when the time comes to attack the Tang Dynasty, when the army is sent, the adults will take the opportunity to seize the military power, first seize the throne of Silla, and then destroy the Tang Dynasty, so that they can become the lord of the world in one fell swoop. ”
Park Zhiyong's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had seen the scene of his domination of the world, and after a long time, he suddenly saluted Liu Xuanji excitedly and said: "Mr. Liu, I would like to worship you as my staff and military advisor, and from now on, I will have all my manpower at your disposal." ”
Liu Xuanji put his palm on his chest and said politely: "Thank you for your trust, Prime Minister, Poor Dao is willing to help your lord and seize this world." ”
Pu Mingshun was also very excited on the side, he seemed to think of something, and reminded: "Mr. Liu, don't forget my business, find me a piece of feng shui treasure, I want to move the ancestral grave and change my fortune." ”
"Don't worry, Lord Park." Liu Xuanji smiled and said, "Tomorrow, the old man will go to find a feng shui treasure for you, and it won't take more than three months at most." ”
June 25, Li Hao and Di Renjie's team entered the land of Bashu, after entering Bashu, they felt that the cultural environment was very different, and they often saw some rangers walking on the official road with swords and sharp weapons, which was impossible to see in Guanzhong or other regions, because since Li Hao innovated metallurgical technology, iron tools became cheap, and weapons naturally increased.
Chivalry is forbidden to use martial arts, the blade is the guy who eats with the rangers, and now Li Shimin strictly controls the folk ironware, which makes the rangers very embarrassed, there are many rangers because they carry weapons, and they are arrested and imprisoned, although they are only locked up for one to three years, but the life in the cell is not good, so a large number of rangers in the Guannai and Hedong have migrated to the Bashu area in recent years, because the control of knives and sharp weapons in the Bashu area is not so strict, the more south the more relaxed, if you go to Nanzhao, Walk down the street with ten knives and no one will pay attention to you.
Why is this so, because these places have been places where heroes have been born since ancient times, extremely martial, and there are many mountains, and there are many mountain thieves and bandits, and it is necessary to bring a weapon to defend oneself on the layman's road, so the government can only turn a blind eye to the imperial court's weapons control policy.
Li Hao saw so many Jianghu rangers in the Bashu area, but felt very cordial, there is a feeling of crossing into the martial arts, in order to experience this kind of Jianghu life, he also changed into the Jianghu people's dress, if he meets some Jianghu people in the inn or roadside tea shop, he will come forward to say hello, have a drink with others, and then blow nonsense, I feel that this is the Jianghu.
Di Renjie didn't understand Li Hao's martial arts feelings at all, so he felt that he was nervous, the dignified King Qiongnan, the general who led five thousand elite soldiers, took off his armor to pretend to be a foot ranger, isn't this a problem with his brain?
Every time he saw Li Hao drinking and bragging with a group of rangers, Di Renjie watched from a distance, and then asked Situ Feng in a low voice: "Hey, your master is nervous again?" ”
"Don't say that, Master." Situ Feng said seriously every time, "Master said that this is feelings." ”
"Tsk...... Your master's feelings are really strange. ”
Originally, the road in the Bashu area was not very easy to walk, Li Hao was still nervous, and as soon as he met the ranger, he had to stop for a few drinks and blow a, so they walked very slowly, and it took twenty days to get to Yizhou.
Yizhou can be said to be the most prosperous place in the entire Jiannan Province, and there is still a big man living here, Li Ke, the king of Wu.
Li Hao took 5,000 troops into the city, mighty, just settled down in the post house, someone came to send an invitation, Wu King Li Ke invited Li Hao to the house for a banquet, although Li Hao and Li Ke have no friendship, but since they have arrived on other people's territory, how to say it has to go to pay a visit, by the way to see if this King Wu still has thoughts about the supreme position.
This time King Wu only invited Li Hao, did not invite Di Renjie, although Di Renjie is the deputy envoy, but the identity is too different from Li Hao and King Wu, and before King Wu left Chang'an, Di Renjie was still a little-known person, how could the arrogant King Wu invite Di Renjie.
Li Hao took Situ Feng and twenty special forces to the Wu Wangfu for a banquet, because he brought an invitation, so he didn't need to send a post, it was a distinguished guest invited by the host, and he entered the Wu Wangfu smoothly.
Since it was not dinner time, Li Ke met Li Hao in the living room, and when the two met, they saw that Li Ke had grown a beard, two beards on his lips, and a beard on his chin, looking old and serious.
When Li Ke saw Li Hao, his face was surprised, and he saw that Li Hao didn't seem to have changed anything compared with that year, he looked like an eighteen-year-old boy, handsome and handsome, if there was really any change, it was that Li Hao's sideburns were actually white, and his childish face and white hair looked very different.
"Meet King Wu." Li Hao wore his own special blue and white cardigan robe, tied a scarf on his head, held a feather fan, and saluted Li Ke in a chic and handsome manner.
Although both of them are kings, but their status is different, in the Tang Dynasty, the king is also divided into grades, although everyone calls Li Hao the king of Qiongnan, but in fact, strictly speaking, Li Hao's title is the king of Qiongnan County, from the first product, and the prince and the heir of the king are the same level, and Li Ke is the "king", is a product, basically the same level as the king of Nanzhao, but he does not have as much power as the king of Nanzhao, so Li Hao needs to salute when he sees him.
Li Ke smiled and waved his hand: "King Qiongnan doesn't need to be polite, after seven years, King Qiongnan is young and young, and his demeanor is still the same." ”
He said this in a sighing tone, Li Hao felt quite embarrassed when he heard it, and thought about it carefully, unconsciously, so many years have passed, and Li Ke has also changed from a handsome guy to a bearded uncle.
Sigh and sigh, the words still have to be answered, otherwise the momentum will be weakened, Li Hao smiled indifferently: "Hao just doesn't like to grow a beard, so he doesn't look old, but his hair is gray, which is like King Wu, and now he is more and more heroic, quite like his father." ”
"How dare this king compare with his father, King Qiongnan is cautious." Li Ke pretended to smile casually and invited Li Hao to take a seat.
The two sat down separately, and Li Ke asked: "King Qiongnan has just come from Chang'an, and he knows a lot about the affairs of Chang'an, and his father has been in good health recently?" ”
Li Hao said: "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, the emperor is in good health, and the prince serves left and right every day, listening to the emperor's teachings and government affairs." ”
Li Ke frowned slightly when he heard this, he just asked Li Shimin how his health was, and Li Hao replied that the first half of the sentence was fine, and he had to pull the prince in, it was nothing more than to remind Li Ke and make him stop thinking.
"That's good, that's good." Li Keqiang smiled and nodded, actually very unhappy in his heart.
At this time, the tea came up, and the two drank tea, Li Ke was still very particular, and entertained Li Hao with good tea, unlike Li Hao, different people use different tea.
Li Hao drank two sips of fragrant tea, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and asked, "Your Highness has been in Yizhou for seven years, are you still used to living there?" ”
Li Ke put down the teacup and said: "When I first came, I was not used to it, and I was not accustomed to the water and soil, but a year later, I was basically fine, and I lived for a long time, only to find that Bashu is good, not inferior to Guanzhong, and now this king is very free every day, and when he has nothing to do, he takes his wife and children out to ride a horse, or hunting, away from the troubles of government affairs, and lives happily, hey, this king's hunting skills have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, and this king used to be very happy as long as he could hunt a goat and wild deer or something, but now what this king pursues is to catch prey alive. ”
"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, "It's not easy to catch prey alive." ”
"That's right." Li Ke saw that Li Hao seemed to be very interested, and immediately said with great interest, "If you use a trap, it is too boring, this king still uses a bow and arrow, as long as the arrow is shot accurately, it can make the prey unable to escape, but it will not die, come back and raise it for a month or two, and then it will be alive again, and now this king has opened a beast garden, which is full of beasts captured alive by this king, you may not believe it, this king actually captured a tiger alive last year!" ”
Li Hao was shocked when he heard this: "The tigers have all been captured alive by His Highness?" ”
Li Ke said proudly when he heard this: "That's right, this king shot it three arrows, injured his three legs, and finally let more than a dozen guards use a net to catch it, exhausting all its strength, and then took it down, this tiger is not simple, this king has seen a lot of tigers, but has never seen such a powerful one, if the king of Qiongnan is interested, this king will immediately take you to see." ”
"Thank you so much." Li Hao nodded with a smile when he heard this, "Then Hao will dip in the light of His Highness today and open his eyes." ”
Li Ke immediately got up when he heard the words, strode out, Li Hao also got up, followed closely, and the moment Li Ke walked out of the living room, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and the corners of his eyes flashed with an imperceptible coldness.
