Chapter 143

Because Jiangzhou is still some distance away from Jinzhou, Qin mubai and Xi suiliang set out one day earlier than Li daozong's birthday. When he arrived at the palace at noon, except for some relatives of Li daozong, most of the other officials did not come. Some of them arrived early, and they went to the city to find a place to settle down. They didn't dare to disturb them in advance.

Li daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was one of the first-class figures in the northern part of China. He promoted the troops and horses of Jin, Bing, PU, Jiang and other states, and ruled Taiyuan Prefecture, the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty. Li Ji, as the Prime Minister of Bingzhou, is the commander of most troops in Northern Xinjiang. Strictly speaking, his deployment should be subject to his instructions. As a matter of fact, they are in a position of juxtaposition, with a strong taste of mutual restraint. Naturally, Li Shimin could not be able to take the vast northern half of the country. Give it to someone.

In other words, they are now the military and political spokesmen of the emperor in the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the three grade four grade assassins and governors. Seeing them, Li daozong also treated them differently. He also stressed in the invitation that they should go to the mansion to have a drink in advance.

When the carriage just stopped at the palace, an official warmly welcomed it. Seeing that Qin mubai and Xi suiliang got out of the car, they quickly went forward and arched their hands and asked, "is guest GUI general Qin and Mr. Xi?"

"It was I who waited." Qin mubai said with a smile, "thank you for coming."

"The Lord has been waiting for you for a long time. Please, two distinguished guests The official quickly extended his hand to ask for help. He was very polite.

Qin mubai has been to the Palace once, so he is familiar with the road. Xi suiliang went in and looked around. He said with a smile, "the king of Jiangxia lives a simple life. I'm afraid it's not as good as a rich man's residence in Chang'an."

The official said hastily, "the Lord often admonishes us to think of danger in times of peace and to be able to live in poverty, so we never build large-scale buildings to build farmland and build houses."

Qin mubai and Xi suiliang looked at each other and laughed. They said in their hearts: This is really the style of Li daozong. They are greedy and simple, and have a little bit of the taste of miser. It's really interesting that such a great hero has such a funny problem.

They followed the officials to the main hall. As soon as they turned a flower garden, they heard a hearty smile coming from the front: "ha ha! When I got up early this morning, I heard that Xique was singing. It is true that a distinguished guest has arrived! General Qin, Mr. Chu, I have been waiting for you for a long time! "

"I've met the king of Jiangxia!" The two of them came forward to salute.

"Don't be polite, please!" Li daozong waved and asked them to enter the hall.

Two tables have been set up in the hall, and more than ten people have not been seated. At a close look, there are men, women, old and young, mostly like Li daozong's family members.

"You two, these are all my family members. Today is a family dinner. You don't have to be polite." Li daozong said with a smile, "you two are really trustworthy and punctual. I guess you will arrive around noon. I specially ask my family to wait for you to have dinner together. Please take your seat quickly

Qin mubai and Yi suiliang quickly bow their hands and say, "how dare you be such a kind Lord?"

It's really a high-class treat to have your family waiting for them to have lunch together. The implication is to treat them as the most distinguished guests and even relatives.

"You're welcome. I've been used to going straight all my life. If you are seated, that's it Li daozong laughed heartily and sat down on the throne.

Qin mubai and Yi suiliang stopped prevaricating and sat down in front of Li daozong.

"Well, here are the guests. Everybody sit down, serve and have dinner!" Li daozong was in a good mood and said with a smile.

All the people were seated separately, and a group of servants and maidservants came in and presented the food and wine, and the family dinner began. Most of the people present here are brothers or juniors from Li Dao's clan who came to celebrate his birthday. Many of them are also regarded as princes and relatives. During the dinner, they just toasted each other and said some polite words. Li daozong always toasted Qin mubai and Yi suiliang, and the atmosphere was still harmonious and warm.

After the banquet, Li daozong ordered the officials to arrange superior guest rooms for Qin and Yi. Go to have a rest first, get rid of the tiredness of the journey, and make an appointment with them to go fishing in the small lake in the backyard of the mansion at dusk.

Besides his love of wealth, fishing is Li daozong's second hobby.

Qin mubai and Yi suiliang went back to their respective rooms, and they were really tired after a long ride in the carriage. I also drank a lot of wine at noon, and some of them were slightly drunk. After washing and gargling, they lay down for a rest.

Half asleep and half awake, Qin mubai seemed to hear the door knocked.

"Did you sleep?"

Chen Yan?

Qin mubai turned over, put on his clothes and said, "here we are."

Open the door. Sure enough, Chen Yan is standing outside the door. She had changed her black chivalrous dress, put on a simple men's Hu robe, tied up her hair at will, and carried a wooden basin in her hand. It's a bowl of hot soup.

"I just asked if you were sleeping, but you just opened the door." Chen Yan said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll get drunk. I'll offer you a bowl of hangover soup."

"Thank you." Qin Mu Bai welcomed her in with a smile. Said, "just now I was still wondering why I didn't see you between the banquets. When did you arrive at the palace? ""I came to Jinzhou yesterday." Chen Yan put down her bowl and said, "although I worship the Lord as my adoptive father. But I'm not used to the life in the palace, and I don't want to meet too many people. So when I came to Jinzhou, I stayed in the inn. Today, I entered the mansion a long time later than you. When I saw that you were drinking, I didn't disturb you. Drink while it's hot. Sobering up is very effective. "

"I believe that. If people who wander in the rivers and lakes get drunk all the time, it's easy to do bad things. " Qin mubai picked up the bowl and drank it clean. It was slightly sour and sweet. It tasted good.

"Aren't you afraid I'll put the medicine in the bowl? This is also a trick used by people who wander in the Jianghu. " Chen Yan laughs jokingly.

"That's Xiao Xiao's trick. I'm sure you won't use it. " Qin mubai also smiles.

"Where's your little princess? Isn't she the niece of the Lord? Why didn't you bring her to celebrate the birthday? " Chen Yan suddenly asked.

Qin Mu Bai Lun looked twice and said with a smile, "if you don't mention it, I've forgotten. Should you take her to celebrate her birthday?"

"Pretend." Chen Yan sneers.

"She's gone. He is in a hurry to return to the capital to take the blame. " Qin Mu Bai said with a smile, "she escaped from the palace privately. How dare she come to give him a birthday?"

"I escaped from the palace to see you?" Chen Yan can't help wringing her eyebrows.

"Not all of them." Qin mubai was a little squeamish and said something about him.

"It must be." Chen Yan shook her head with a smile. "Your trouble is coming. Take care of yourself."

"You are so direct. Just like your sword, you try to get to the point." Qin mubai said with a helpless smile, "it seems that nothing can hide from you. Your eyes are as penetrating as your sword. "

"I've been wandering in the Jianghu for so many years, and I've seen so many people. Naturally, that's what it is." Chen Yan said. "You don't have to hide anything. I can see that the little princess has a special feeling for you at a glance, but you may not agree with her. It's better not to be forced when it comes to men and women. If you don't like people, just say it. Don't cheat. I always hate people who cheat their feelings. I don't want my friends to be like this. "

Qin mubai's quirky smile: "if I like her?"

"That means you're in more trouble." Chen Yan sneered and said, "I used to be the same as her. In order to pursue their feelings and desperate, in the end, you can see the results. In fact, if you like a person, you may not really have to be with him If he can live well, that's enough. Unfortunately, Gao Yang didn't understand. She likes you, but it is destined to bring you trouble or even disaster. If you really like her, the trouble and disaster will only be greater. Don't think I'm talking nonsense. I'm learning from the past. "

"Thank you for your hard work. I appreciate it." Qin mubai said with a smile, "you are the only one who speaks so clearly to me. In fact, I know all these things in my heart. You'll take care of the heat. "

"That's good." Chen Yan relaxed smile, "said so much, I hope you don't mind, this is your private matter, I shouldn't intervene. Since I regard you as a friend, I can't help reminding you. But I don't mean to break you up. On the contrary, I hope there will be good results between you. Well, you can have a rest and go fishing later. "

"You like fishing, too?"

"Or how can I get to know you at first sight?" With a charming smile, Chen Yan turns around and walks out of the room to bring him to the door. The sound of her steps is fading away.

Qin mubai couldn't help but smile: Chen Yan is such a hot woman.

Soon afterwards, Qin mubai and Yi suiliang came to the back garden of the palace to fish at the invitation of Li daozong.

Although Jiangxia palace is simple, its area is not small. There is a good artificial lake in the backyard, which can also be used for boating. There is a simple dock built of wood and bamboo, and some lotus plants are planted in the lake. In autumn, the decaying wind blows, and there are some broken branches and leaves on the surface of the lake. Occasionally, wild herons and Kingfisher pass by the lake, which has a certain rural flavor of autumn water and sky.

There were five people in the party, including Li daozong, Qin mubai and Yi suiliang, Chen Yan and a little boy. Obviously, Li daozong was deeply depressed. When he got to the center of the lake, he sat down as steady as a mountain and could not move his hook as a bell. Qin mubai used to be a fishing enthusiast, but he was not very proficient. The simple fishing tackle made by Tang Dynasty was not too Tossy. Thanks to Chen Yan's help, he got off the hook smoothly. Kuan suiliang was a layman. He had some difficulties in dropping the hook into the water, which made people make fun of him.

Few of the people present were so relaxed as today, so they were in a good mood and enjoyed the leisure entertainment of fishing.
