Chapter 1171: Things Are Wrong
"Lord Wang, the people Cui Hui saw seemed to be suspicious, and when our people rushed over, they had already slipped through the secret passage."
Speaking of the Yangzhou Division of the Wutang, when Li Yuntian was practicing swords in the courtyard, Lin Xin walked over quickly and said in a deep voice.
"Where's Cui Hui?" Li Yuntian didn't seem surprised by this, and asked lightly while practicing his sword.
"Cui Hui returned to the mansion, and there seems to be nothing abnormal." Hearing this, Lin Xin replied in an orderly manner, feeling very sorry that she couldn't catch the person Cui Hui saw, and nine times out of ten the other party was Gu Chen, who was wanted by the imperial court.
"It seems that Cui Hui was tricked this time, and he didn't warn him." The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a smile of pity, it seemed that Gu Chen did not regard Cui Hui as a friend, but was just a tool he used for revenge.
Obviously, Li Yuntian thought that the person Cui Hui went to see this time was Gu Chen, and he really couldn't think of anyone who was worthy of Cui Hui to see in person, let alone anyone who wanted to cooperate with Cui Hui against him.
The reason why Li Yuntian hurried back to Yangzhou in advance was naturally not to think about coming to join the excitement of the Oiran Conference, in addition to having something to do, he was to catch Cui Hui off guard, which made Cui Hui, who was under great pressure in his heart, mess up, and then ask Gu Chen for help, so that he could find Gu Chen's whereabouts.
In fact, Li Yuntian did not have much hope of finding Gu Chen's whereabouts, after all, Gu Chen was an opponent who was not easy to deal with, and he should be aware that the accidental explosion of gunpowder in Nanjing City had exposed his whereabouts, and he must be cautious about contacting Cui Hui.
However, judging from the time Cui Hui stayed in that mansion, Gu Chen must have been inside, but it was a pity that Gu Chen was too shrewd, and he actually sniffed out the danger from Cui Hui's reckless actions, and then slipped away in advance.
To Li Yuntian's surprise, there was a secret passage in the mansion where Gu Chen lived, which was really beyond his expectations, but he didn't expect Gu Chen to be able to dig out this secret passage unknowingly, which was really beyond his expectations.
At this moment, Li Yuntian didn't know that the person in the courtyard was Chen Guangzong and not Gu Chen, Chen Guangzong had disappeared for nearly ten years, and Li Yuntian would never have thought that he would appear here anyway.
"Lord Wang, Gu Chen has been alarmed, it will be difficult for us to arrest him again." Lin Xin knew that Gu Chen had explosives in his hand, which was a great threat to Li Yuntian, and seeing that Li Yuntian seemed to be a little unimpressed, he couldn't help but persuade with concern, "According to the opinion of my subordinates, it is better for the prince not to go to the Oiran Conference tonight." ”
"This king has promised to join in this fun, if he goes back on his word, what will others think of this king?" Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he heard this, he knew that Lin Xin was for his good, so he said with a smile, "If you let outsiders know that this king was scared away by Gu Chen, then where is the face of this king?" ”
"Although Gu Chen has explosives, it is not easy for him to detonate them, unless he can find a suitable place to hide, those explosives are just a pile of waste in his hands." Saying that, Li Yuntian comforted Lin Xin and said, "Besides, this king suddenly came to Yangzhou City this time, and Gu Chen was frightened again, so he didn't have time to arrange those explosives. ”
The look on Lin Xin's face eased at this time, and she felt that what Li Yuntian said was very reasonable, now there are many spies in the martial arts hall on the market, and it is already very difficult for Gu Chen to transport explosives out of the door, let alone use it to deal with Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian then continued to practice his sword leisurely there, waiting for the arrival of the Oiran Conference in the evening, when he was ready to watch a good show.
Lin Xin smiled and stood aside and looked at Li Yuntian, she admired Li Yuntian's unruly demeanor very much, if she let others know that Gu Chen was going to use explosives against him, I am afraid that she would have been so frightened that she would hide in the courtyard of the mansion and not come out.
After a while, a guard hurriedly walked over, and in order to avoid disturbing Li Yuntian's sword practice, he leaned over and whispered a few words in Lin Xin's ear, which made Lin Xin's face change slightly at first, and then showed a happy look on his face, and opened his mouth to instruct the guard.
The guard bowed to Lin Xin, and then walked away quickly, Lin Xin stood there with an excited face, his eyes fell on the courtyard gate, as if waiting for someone.
Not long after, a handsome man in a white shirt entered the backyard under the guidance of the guards, Lin Xin immediately greeted him when he saw this, happily took the handsome man's hand, and talked to the handsome man affectionately, seeing the guards around him look at each other, dumbfounded, no one would have thought that Lin Xin would be so close to a man.
After all, in the eyes of the guards, although Lin Xin did not have any reputation, because Lin Xin was responsible for taking care of Li Yuntian, everyone had already regarded her as Li Yuntian's woman, and now Lin Xin actually flirted with the handsome man there in front of Li Yuntian, regardless of whether men and women were kissed or not, it was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Li Yuntian didn't know that the handsome man was coming, although he was practicing swords, his eyes were foggy, and he had fallen into deep thought, secretly thinking about his thoughts.
Lin Xin knew that Li Yuntian was thinking about things, so she didn't bother him, and took the handsome man's hand and talked excitedly.
"Keiko!" Finally, after Li Yuntian finished practicing his sword, he noticed the handsome man who was talking to Lin Xin there intimately, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help asking, "When did you come to Daming, why doesn't this king know?" ”
"Lord Wang, my subordinates came to Daming a few months ago with the fleet transporting goods, and because the prince is busy with official business, he has been coming to see the prince, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins." Hearing this, the handsome man hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Li Yuntian and said in a coquettish voice, she is Keiko Yamaguchi, that is, Fujido Shizuko in Chen Guangzong's mouth, the only female daimyo in the Wa Kingdom.
In the third year of orthodoxy, the shogun named Keiko Yamaguchi as the guardian daimyo, and his jurisdiction was in the northern part of Kyushu Island and the western part of Shikoku Island, and he was one of the three most powerful guardian Daming in Kyushu and Shikoku.
At the same time, Keiko Yamaguchi officially changed her name to Fujido Shizuko, inherited the title of the Fujido family, and was an awe-inspiring woman who conquered the battlefield in a few years, capturing a lot of territory on both Kyushu and Shikoku Islands.
Speaking of which, Keiko Yamaguchi was able to fight back to Shikoku Island thanks to the help of the Ming Army's naval division, who not only helped her transport soldiers but also helped her clear the opponent's water boats.
Today, Keiko Yamaguchi has become a vassal of the Wa Kingdom, and is famous among the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom.
Li Yuntian knew about Keiko Yamaguchi's name change, but he was still used to calling Keiko Yamaguchi's original name, and he was very surprised that Keiko Yamaguchi came to Daming this time, and he had not received a relevant notice before.
Hearing Li Yuntian call her "Keiko", Keiko Yamaguchi's heart suddenly felt warm, and she couldn't help but recall the past in Daming, she liked Li Yuntian to call her like this, so that Li Yuntian would not be an outsider to her.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have come to ask for something this time, and I hope that the prince can grant permission." After the ceremony, Keiko Yamaguchi suppressed her excitement, and solemnly bowed down to Li Yuntian and said, "Now that the situation on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island is becoming more and more dangerous, my subordinates want to concentrate on the enemy, so I hope that the dog can spend the night in the palace." ”
"Dogs?" Liu Yuntian's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, no one had ever mentioned the matter of Keiko Yamaguchi having a child to him, so he didn't know about it at all.
But this is also normal, Keiko Yamaguchi has already reached the age of marriage, so it is normal to start a family and have children, and the Fujido family also needs to have a male heir.
I don't know why, looking at Keiko Yamaguchi, who has a more mature woman charm than before, Li Yuntian's heart is filled with an indescribable strange bitterness, and he feels a little inexplicably lost when Keiko Yamaguchi marries someone else.
"It's just a matter of raising his hands, and this king will take good care of him." Soon, Li Yuntian came back to his senses, smiled at Keiko Yamaguchi and said, "The little guy is there, let this king take a look." ”
"By the way, this king should give you a generous gift when you get married, and I will definitely make it up to you in the future." Saying that, Li Yuntian remembered something and said to Lin Xin in a deep voice, "You can remember this matter and remind this king when the time comes." ”
Lin Xin nodded when she heard this, she had already realized that the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, although Li Yuntian's reaction at this time seemed to be casual, but she had been by Li Yuntian's side for so long, she could naturally feel that Li Yuntian's words and deeds were abnormal.
"Lord Wang, the dog has been by the prince's side for a long time, and because his subordinates are busy dealing with some private matters, he has not been able to take him back, so I hope I forgive me for disturbing the prince." Hearing the word "marriage", Keiko Yamaguchi's cheeks couldn't help but flush, and she bowed to Li Yuntian again and said.
"How long have you been by the king's side?" Li Yuntian suddenly felt a little strange when he heard this, and then thought of something, and looked at Keiko Yamaguchi without difference, "Li Shan is your son?" ”
"Lord Wang, at that time, his subordinates were dealing with the forces that kidnapped him, and they really couldn't ensure his safety, so they had to let him follow the prince." Keiko Yamaguchi nodded and opened her mouth to explain to Li Yuntian.
"Go, call that kid." Although Keiko Yamaguchi said something light, Li Yuntian knew that her situation at that time must be very dangerous, so he smiled and said to the guards on the side.
Moreover, Li Yuntian knew why Keiko Yamaguchi didn't ask him for help, and with Keiko Yamaguchi's stubborn character, he would definitely solve this grievance entanglement within the Wa Kingdom by himself.
Hearing that Li Yuntian affectionately called Li Shan "that kid", Keiko Yamaguchi suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart, it seems that Li Shan and Li Yuntian have gotten along well during this time.
"Mother!" Soon, Li Shan, who was holding a windmill in his hand, rushed to come, and when he saw Keiko Yamaguchi, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed into Keiko Yamaguchi's arms.
"Good boy, you have been hiding from this king for so long." Seeing this, Li Yuntian smiled and said to Li Shan, Li Shan did not reveal the slightest tone to him before this.
"I'm sorry uncle!" Li Shan scratched his head when he heard this, bowed to Li Yuntian with some embarrassment, and apologized for his behavior of concealing his identity.
"Shan'er, your mother is busy with affairs, how about you live in your uncle's house in the future?" Li Yuntian laughed, reached out and touched Li Shan's head and asked, with a look of affection in his words.
"Mother, did you come to Daming to find an uncle?" Li Shan's face was happy when he heard this, but he didn't answer Li Yuntian directly, but turned his head to look at Keiko Yamaguchi.
"In the future, you have to listen to your uncle, don't be naughty!" Keiko Yamaguchi smiled and nodded, and said admonishment.
"Oh! I'll be able to play with my uncle in the future. Li Shan suddenly jumped up when he heard this, and said happily.
"This king has something to do tonight, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for your couple tomorrow." Li Yuntian glanced at the happy Li Shan, and said to Keiko Yamaguchi with a smile, it was obvious that Keiko Yamaguchi would bring her husband to see him.
"Uncle, my father went to sea, and he went far, far away, and he hasn't come back yet." Without waiting for Keiko Yamaguchi to answer, Li Shan hurriedly said, with a look of expectation on his face, "Mother told me that when my father comes back, he will bring me a lot of gifts." ”
Hearing this, Li Yuntian was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Keiko Yamaguchi, it was obvious that what Li Shan said was just Keiko Yamaguchi's excuse, could it be that Li Shan's father was dead?
Keiko Yamaguchi's cheeks were even more rosy than before, and she didn't explain anything, just smiled at Li Yuntian, her expression full of gloom.
Li Yuntian immediately understood, Keiko Yamaguchi had an unspeakable secret, considering that Keiko Yamaguchi often fought when she was in the Wa Kingdom, so Li Shan's father was likely to die on the battlefield, so Keiko Yamaguchi made up a lie to perfunctory.
Therefore, Li Yuntian's eyes when he looked at Li Shan were full of pity, maybe when Li Shan grew up, he would understand Keiko Yamaguchi's distress.
