Chapter 256

A few days later, Xiangzhou Junfu warship wharf.

Qin mubai sent naval warships to the upper reaches of the river to meet the prince. On the dock, there are many Jiashi, the important officials of the assassin's office and the military office have been present, Li daozong is also here, and Princess Gaoyang and King Li you of Qi are also here.

Qin mubai, dressed in military uniform, was personally responsible for the garrison of the wharf. Gaoyang Princess and Li daozong stood together, a pair of eyes never left Qin mubai, face always flushed, also from time to time issued a giggle.

"Silly girl, what are you laughing at?" Li you asked.

"Brother, do you think mubai is very powerful?" Gaoyang Princess pointed to the front, is drinking rebuke Sergeant Qin mubai quietly said.

"Yes, he doesn't have prestige. Who else has prestige?" Li you didn't laugh.

"I love to see men in armor!" Princess Gaoyang said, "she is both handsome and handsome. Elder brother, you are also a governor and a military officer. How come you have never worn the armor and battle robe? "

"You think it's comfortable?" Li you turned his lips and said, "it's dozens of Jin!"

"Wow, it's so heavy?" Princess Gaoyang turned her head and asked Li daozong, "Uncle Huang, is mubai's armor very heavy?"

Li daozong said with a smile: "he was wearing the Ming armor, which was made by the imperial court with exquisite workmanship. It weighs 26 Jin. This is the first of the thirteen top in the Tang Dynasty. It's light, strong and beautiful. Among them, the heaviest scale beetle can weigh 46 Jin, which is not a helmet

"It took several months for dozens of first-class craftsmen to make this kind of Ming Guang armor." Li you added. "It's not something ordinary people can afford. I've heard that Qin mubai's Ming Guang armor was given by his father and emperor when he was in charge of the post of a hundred riding envoys. It can be seen that it's not ordinary. "

Li daozong also nodded: "maybe it's better than the armor I used to wear. After all, my armor is from a long time ago, and it's certainly not as good as it is now. "

"Gee, you guys are so excited when you say that." Princess Gaoyang turned her lips. She didn't know anything about armor. If I can't speak, I'm not happy. So I immediately changed the topic and said, "if only my third brother could do it today!"

Li you shrugged his eyebrows, shook his head and sighed: "the emperor's sister-in-law has just been buried. In recent days, the third brother's mood is very low and looks very bad. It's estimated that she won't come."

"Oh, my poor third brother!" Princess Gaoyang frowned and sighed.

Li daozong looked at the distance, suddenly his eyes brightened, and he said to them, "isn't this coming?"

Sure enough.

On the official road leading to the military port, Li Ke, wearing a purple Prince's court uniform, was riding a horse. When he arrived at the port, he got off his horse and walked briskly.

"Wow, three elder brothers how seem to be suddenly changed a person, so spirit?" Gaoyang Princess surprised small voice way.

"Do you want to see your third brother look like a sick son all day long?" Li Ke obviously heard it. He came forward with a smile at Princess Gaoyang.

"Third brother, you look good today." Li you said.

"Five younger brothers, Gao Yang, you've been really worried about these days." Li Ke nodded his head to them and said to Li daozong, "Uncle Huang, I'm here."

Li daozong nodded and said with a smile, "come on, welcome your prince and elder brother."

"Yes." Li Ke smiles and agrees. He turns to Qin mubai by the dock and says, "I'll go over and talk to him."

After that, Li Ke left.

Princess Gaoyang blinked in surprise and murmured: "it's strange, why did the third brother suddenly Like a nobody? "

"Good man, that's it." Li daozong said, "you son, you should learn more from your third brother."

"Yes. My nephew knows that I'm not as good as my third brother. " Li you said the same.

Li daozong looked at Li Ke walking away with a smile and said to himself, "yes, this is the li ke I watched him grow up. You can afford it, you can put it down; you have a real disposition, big man

Qin mubai was talking about the etiquette of the sergeants at the dock, and he was speaking with a dry tongue. When I look back, I can't help but be surprised to see Li Ke walking towards him with a full face and light steps.

"Here you are, your highness." Qin mubai looked at him up and down, which was incredible. Now it seems that Li Ke is a little thinner than before. He can't see that he has just experienced the pain of losing his wife.

"Yes, how can I not come to such an important occasion?" Li Ke smiles and nods to him, "don't worry about me, I'm ok."

"That's the best way. I've always had faith in you. " Qin mubai also nodded and smile happily.

"I've figured it out." Li Ke Chang sighed, looked up at the sky and said leisurely, "if I don't live well, how can she be at ease? I didn't take good care of her and love her so much before I died. After I die, I should let the spirit under the spring comfort her a little"Wise." Qin mubai's sincere praise.

Now he feels that Li Ke is more calm and mature.

No wonder people often say that it takes only once for a girl to become a woman. And it is sure to succeed; and boys to become men, it needs thousands of times of training, need to go through many twists and turns, can be effective.

The pain of his wife's death this time seems to have changed Li Ke's mood.

"Well, not much." Li Ke smiles and taps Qin mubai's chest with his fist, saying, "now I'll welcome the prince with you. From now on, the work of the governor's office will be handed over to me. These days, the military and political affairs of Xiangzhou are all on your shoulders, and you have to hold sacrificial ceremonies, but you are exhausted. "

Qin Mu Bai nodded and smile: "but it's worth it."

Li you in the distance looked at this side and sighed: "they are very friendly."

"Are you jealous?" Li daozong's joking way.

"Er!..." Li you a Zheng, immediately ha ha of dry smile, "envy also useless! God will not send a Qin mubai to me! "

"A thousand li horse is common, but Bole is not." Li daozong said, "You'er, don't complain. It's the right way to have nothing to do, fight less, gamble less, reflect more, study hard, and strengthen your own knowledge and cultivation. As the saying goes, you and Ke'er are like canals. If you repair the canal yourself, the water will come. You can't count on luck. "

"Well, my nephew knows. Thank you." Li you busily nodded and bowed to answer the promise, but an impatient sullen look flashed in his eyes.

Li daozong is such a fine man that he naturally knows all this. He shook his head in secret and said, "dragon gives birth to nine sons. They are different.". In that case, I will never tell you again. In other words, Li Ke and Qin mubai would never react like this. Li you is arrogant and indifferent, but he seems to have a big mind. Later, sooner or later, bad things will happen

Less than half an hour later, a group of ships appeared on the water ahead. Leading escort. It's the Shenyu spaceship of Xiangzhou military mansion.

"Here it is

Li Ke took the lead, followed by Li daozong, Qin mubai, Li you and Princess Gaoyang. They stood on the dock waiting for the ship on which the prince was riding to dock.

Prince Li Chengqian, with a group of guards and officials, rode from Chang'an to Xiangzhou, where he was informed by Shangzhou, and asked the governor's office to arrange a ship to take him across the Hanjiang River. Right now. He took the Shenyu Shenzhou boat of Xiangzhou military mansion.

When the ship came ashore, Li Chengqian stood at the bow of the ship and arched at the people.

Qin mubai met Li Chengqian many times when he was in Baiqi. He was not unfamiliar with his appearance, but he had no deep friendship. There are many rumors about him from the outside world, some say that he was smart and agile since he was a child, others say that he became a dandy and ignorant when he grew up, and others say that he was filial and fraternal. Others said he was hypocritical.

There are different versions.

Qin mubai has never been in the habit of accepting rumors. He only believes in "seeing is better than hearing". Now, isn't he the living Prince Li Chengqian? It's not easy to get to know him?

The prince had already landed. Li Ke stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Minister Li Ke. Lead all the civil and military officials under Xiangzhou to welcome his Highness the prince

"Welcome to the prince!" All the officials, including Li daozong, responded to the peace.

The crown prince, the crown prince of the country, is a half prince. Even when the emperor's uncle saw him, he was also called a "minister".

Li Chengqian's appearance is between the fat Wei Wang and the handsome Li Ke. Not too fat. Not too thin. His face inherited some of Li Shimin's outline. Like all his brothers, he had the same thick eyebrows, big eyes and a little moustache. He was quite well born. He is also very tall, about 1.8 meters. At first glance, Li Chengqian's appearance and behavior are quite consistent with his status as the crown prince.

Li Chengqian came forward and saluted back. With a smile on his face, he said, "thank you for welcoming me. Please forgive me."

"Thank you, Prince!"

This is the established etiquette.

At this time, Li Chengqian went to Li Ke again, took his wrist, held his hand, looked at him seriously, and said in a soft voice: "third brother, are you ok?"

Li Ke smile: "thank you for your love, my brother is OK."

"Brother and sister are gone, you can take good care of yourself!" Li Chengqian sighed. "What a nice woman. She's so beautiful."

"Brother Prince, it's hard for the third brother to be happy. Can't you stop talking about it?" One side of the Gaoyang princess, suddenly cried.

"Ha ha, yes, yes, I'm confused." Li Chengqian was a little ashamed and laughed at himself. A few crow's feet were wrinkled at the corners of the eyes.

Qin Mu Bai secretly a smile, think a way, the canthus had the smile of fishtail grain, that is true smile. In this way, Li Chengqian is not as hypocritical as Li Tai. Li Tai often laughed and his eyes often narrowed, but he seldom saw his fishtail.

"Uncle Huang, I've been in Xiangzhou for several days. Is everything ok?" Li Chengqian came to give Li daozong a gift again. He was serious and respectful."Thank you, Prince. I'm busy when I come to Xiangzhou." Li daozong said with a smile, "if you come here now, everything will be fine. Finally, I can leave Ke'er alone. After the ceremony, I'll take ling'er on a sightseeing tour! "

"Ha ha. That's good. Then you can offer your nephew to go with you Li Chengqian laughed heartily.

Just finished the etiquette, now it's family talk, it seems quite intimate. Li Chengqian, the crown prince, has no big airs, but he is very friendly. Moreover, at least from the scene just now, he was a bit sincere in dealing with people.

"Your Highness, the Xingyuan is ready. It's been a long journey. Now, please move to Xingyuan and have a rest first! " Li Ke said.

"Well, thank you, brother." Li Chengqian nods and smiles.

"Mubai, guide and escort." Li Ke ordered.

"I'll take orders from you Qin mubai answered with a clasping fist and a wave of his hand, "Baiqi, listen to the order, escort the prince until Xingyuan!"

"No!" Hundreds of riders answered the promise loudly. Step on the horse together, smart and agile.

"General Qin, after several years, your style is more prosperous than before! When you come to Xiangzhou, you are still outstanding. " Li Chengqian nods and smiles at Qin mubai. He looks at all the riders again and says sincerely, "there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. It's a great teacher. "

"Thank you, your highness. The prince, please go to the public Qin mubai Baoquan do.

"Good." Li Chengqian boarded the car of Prince Luan that had been prepared for him, and the two military officers led by the eastern palace guards boarded the car together.

"You go down." Li Chengqian suddenly said to the two guards who were on the chariot, "let Qin mubai come up."

Two people a Leng, also dare not say more, had to go down.

Since the prince had already spoken, Qin mubai could not, so he had to board the car and follow the driver.

"OK, you can go." Li Chengqian orders with a smile, and the car starts to move forward. Li Ke and others also boarded the car and rode with them.

"General Qin, I've been looking forward to drinking with you for a long time. It's just that you don't like it. When you come to Xiangzhou this time, you and King Wu are the same landlords. Won't you be so hospitable? " Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Qin mubai knew that he had given a banquet to Wu Meiniang after he mentioned the Jiangzhou case. At that time, he just wanted to ask Wu Meiniang to go with him, but he didn't go.

"If your highness is interested, I will accompany you. It's just that Weichen's drinking capacity is limited, so don't laugh at him then. " Qin mubai also smiles back.

"That's not good. You must accompany me." Li Chengqian patted the armrest of Luan seat and said with a mysterious smile, "because I brought you a nice gift from Chang'an. You will like it. Since you like it. You have to thank me. As a thank you, you must keep the wine company

"Oh?" Qin mubai was quite surprised and was stunned. He made a calculation in his heart and understood.

"So you guessed?" Li Chengqian also has no intention of always playing tricks. He laughs, "you guessed right. Wu Meiniang, together with some members of the eastern palace and their relatives, was on the other boat. We have already made an appointment to leave Beijing for Xiangtan together. So they came along the same way. "

"Thank you, Prince!" Qin Mu Bai arched his hand and said, "it seems that Wei Chen has to sacrifice his life to compensate a gentleman!"

"Ha ha, that's good!" Li Chengqian clapped the armrest and laughed heartily. He said, "it's better to bump into the sun when you choose a day. Let's put uncle Huang and his three and five brothers here. Today we'll have a banquet in Xingyuan alone. Let's get together! ——Uncle Huang, third brother, what do you think? "

Li daozong and Li Ke had heard this for a long time. At this time, they arched their hands together and said, "that's very good. Just listen to the prince's orders!"

But Qin Mu Bai's eyes involuntarily glanced at Princess Gaoyang's carriage, and he muttered in his heart: Well, it's not peaceful in Xiangzhou. The two women bumped into each other again.

At this time, Princess Gaoyang lifted the car window and called out excitedly: "brother Prince, did you just say that Meiniang is with you? Where are you

"It's on the boat behind. It's time to go ashore, too." Li Chengqian returned.

"Oh! Then I'll go to her and take her with me. You go first, don't wait for me! ——Hee hee, handlebar style, turn around, turn around, go back to the dock Princess Gaoyang cried happily.

Qin mubai can't help but be a little surprised: is their relationship very good? Does she look very happy? This is not reasonable!

At this time, he found that Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li daozong and Li you were all looking at him in surprise. It seemed that these words were also written on his face: "this is unreasonable!"
