(Thanks to shengreng, rainbow4234, ¥. Amin’s monthly pass, Little Master Mingling, Killing God Yise, hien Han for their rewards)
The convoy stopped in front of the city gate. A vassal king like Li Yin had to notify Li Shimin when he entered the capital, and he could only enter Chang'an City with his consent. What's more, Li Yin brought a thousand elite cavalry with him, and the guards dared not let them go without authorization.
Li Shimin had already been informed about Li Yin's coming to Chang'an in advance. Apart from Li Shimin, only Li Ke, Concubine Yang, Cui Shao and others knew about it. It's normal for these guards to be surprised. After all, no one has ever entered Chang'an with such a big show. Pass.
At this time, the few people were obviously not interested in playing poker. Li Yin lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, Qin Huaiyu followed closely, while Cui Yingying and Zheng sisters put on veils and followed them closely with the help of the maidservant.
The guards at Mingde Gate were shocked by the huge convoy, and a clever guard immediately went to report to the guard. When Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu reached the gate, a guard in bronze Mingguang armor hurried over. , "Cao Li, the guard of Mingde Gate, is meeting His Royal Highness the King of Shu?"
"Exemption!" Li Yan glanced at the alert guards, frowned and said, "When can I let you go?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the young general has already sent someone to report this matter to the emperor. Please wait a moment, Your Highness the King of Shu." Although the north wind was cold, there were still tiny beads of sweat on Cao Li's forehead. People don't know the ability of the king of Shu, such a powerful vassal king, he, a small guard, dare not offend him.
Li Yin nodded and didn't make things difficult for him. After all, he also followed the rules. He glanced at the people who couldn't enter the city temporarily because of the convoy and said, "Let the people enter the city."
Cao Li bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"
Temporarily unable to enter the city, Li Yin and the others did not return to the carriage, and simply enjoyed the scenery around Chang'an outside. After waiting for about 20 minutes, four horsemen galloped over. When they arrived at the gate of the city, the leader got off his horse, ignored Cao Li and went straight to Li Yin, and shouted before he even got there, "Your Highness! Huaiyu!"
Li Yin was looking at the majestic city wall of Chang'an. He heard the reputation and looked around, only to see the man with a heavy back and a rough face. It was Cheng Huailiang who hadn't seen him for a year, and now he was walking towards the two with a happy face.
"Huailiang!" Old friends are kind when they meet each other.
"Your Highness!" Cheng Huailiang walked up to Li Yin, bowed and called out.
Li Yin patted him heavily on the shoulder, jokingly said, "I haven't seen you for a year, but you've grown a lot stronger!" Now Li Yin can be regarded as Cheng Huailiang's real brother-in-law. He and Princess Qinghe were married in June, and now they are in-laws.
"Not long after your Highness went to Yizhou, my father recommended me to serve as a captain in the Zuowuwei Army. I have suffered a lot, and my body has been trained." Cheng Huailiang laughed.
Li Yin nodded approvingly: "You look like a son-in-law!" Then he asked: "How do you know we're back?"
Cheng Huailiang patted his head and then remembered, and said: "I forget it when I am happy. Your Majesty asked me to lead His Highness into the city, Your Highness please!"
Qin Huaiyu gave him a contemptuous look, and said, "Your so-so problem has really not changed at all."
Cheng Huailiang punched Qin Huaiyu in the chest, Qin Huaiyu also punched back without showing weakness, and the two laughed at the same time.
When they arrived at the boundary of Chang'an, Li Yin stopped riding in the carriage and asked Rongda to bring Honghaier. The three of them rode on horses and chatted while entering Chang'an City.
As soon as Li Yin's convoy entered the city, it immediately attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an. Many people were watching the long convoy and the elite cavalry guards on both sides of Suzaku Avenue. When they saw the words "King of Shu" on the flying banner, they began to whisper and discuss. It spread, and within a short period of time. Officials, merchants, and clans all got the news, and some were overjoyed. Some people are worried, and some people are half-hearted.
Not long after, Cheng Huailiang led Li Yin and his party to the hotel specially prepared for Li Yin. He said: "Your Highness and the princess will rest here for a while, and I will come back tomorrow to have a drink with Your Highness."
After traveling for more than ten days, Li Yin was also a little tired, he said: "Then see you some other day."
Cheng Huailiang saluted Li Yin, and took Li Yin's cavalry back to the Zuowuwei Camp to station. Li Yin was protected by fifty palace guards led by Wuwei.
"Your Highness, I will take the Zheng sisters back to the Zheng family." Li Yin and Cui Yingying live in the guest house, and Qin Huaiyu said on the road that he was going back to Yiguo's mansion, so he could send the Zheng sisters back along the way.
Li Yan asked: "Yes, but if things don't go well, don't be impulsive, understand? Don't conflict with the Zheng family. This is not Yizhou. It's better to be careful when doing things."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Qin Huaiyu's expression was a little unnatural, but he still responded, and then led the carriage that the Zheng sisters were riding in to leave.
After both Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu left, Rongda asked the accompanying servants to start setting up the pavilion, and also moved the things on the carriage into the pavilion. During the Chinese New Year, they could only live here temporarily.
The hotel that Li Shimin chose for Li Yin is not small. Li Yin and Cui Yingying walked around. The area here is much larger than the Shu Palace in Yizhou. It looks like a palace. The scenery inside is also good, with pavilions One is not bad, Cui Yingying was worried that the hotel would not be enough on the way, but now it seems that it is redundant.
"Father is really thoughtful."
There are also maids sent by Li Shimin in the mansion. When Cui Yingying and Li Yin were walking around in the courtyard, they were responsible for explaining. When they arrived at the bedroom, the inside was clean and tidy. The tea set and bedding were new, Cui Yingying said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is going back to Chang'an, the emperor is very happy to know, these are the emperor's special orders." Hearing what Cui Yingying said, a court lady bowed and said.
Cui Yingying returned to Chang'an in a very good mood. At this time, she was happy to see everything and listened to everything, so she said to Rongda: "Bring two maids, each of whom will receive a consistent reward."
"Thank you, Princess!" The two maids thanked at the same time.
Rong Da led the palace maid out, and the maid came in with the quilt in her arms. Cui Yingying didn't bring the bed with her when she came back from Chang'an. She bought a lot of bedding from modern times, and brought them all. She said she was afraid that she would not get used to sleeping. .
While Cui Yingying instructed the maid to decorate the bedroom, Li Yin went to Wu Wei and took back the leather box that he kept for him. This leather box was given by Li Yin when he bought a pistol in country M. Inside was the disassembled Desert Eagle pistol. This place is not Yizhou, so Li Yin had to be very careful. He hadn't forgotten that this was an era where white knives could come in and red knives could come out at any time, and such things as the Xuanwumen Change were not legends.
Open the black suitcase, and the parts of the Desert Eagle are embedded in the weapon slot. Li Yan took out all the parts and assembled the pistol skillfully. It only took a few minutes. A gleaming silver pistol appeared completely in Li Yin's hands, and the cold metal texture from the pistol gave him a sense of security in his heart.
There were still five preloaded magazines in the suitcase. Li Yin loaded one into the pistol, then he took out an armed belt from the box, loaded the remaining four magazines into it, and put the pistol into it as well. in the holster. This armed belt can be buckled around the waist like a belt. Li Yin plans to buckle the armed belt around his waist when going out in the future, and wear a coat outside. Five magazines with forty rounds of bullets, 0.44 caliber Desert Eagle, any No matter how high your martial arts are, you can become a hornet's nest. Look at the last thing in the box, oh, and there's a muffler for exposure.
When Li Yin was playing with the secret weapon, Qin Huaiyu encountered trouble as Li Yin expected. After he revealed his identity, Zheng Zezi came out to welcome Qin Huaiyu with a happy face. This Qin Huaiyu was the son of Yi Guogong and the king of Shu. The number one general under his command. He was also very pleasantly surprised that he could come to visit, but when he saw the Zheng sisters behind Qin Huaiyu, his eyes were shocked, but after a short period of joy, his face was frosty, his eyes were full of pain, and he said: " General Qin, what does this mean?"
Zheng Zezi's expression was noticed by Qin Huaiyu. He said coldly: "Could it be that Hongluqing has forgotten his two biological daughters."
Zheng Binglan and Zheng Binglu were both ashamed after seeing Zheng Zezi's expression. How could the dignified Zheng family tolerate such a disgraceful stain.
"General Qin was wrong. My daughters were killed by Tuyuhun bandits when they were in Liangzhou. The family has already erected a monument for them. I... have no daughters. Even if they are still alive, they should know that keeping unclean It's better to die, and I won't come back alive." Every time Zheng Zezi uttered a word, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength, and the intense pain in his eyes was about to overflow from his eyes, but his words were extremely firm.
"Nonsense! They are obviously your daughters. How can you be so ruthless as a father!" Qin Huaiyu blushed, and his fists were crackling.
Zheng Zezi's ruthless words were like needles piercing Zheng Binglan's heart. Her face was pale and her body was on the verge of falling. Seeing the pain in her heart, Qin Huaiyu hurried to support her.
Tears welled up in Zheng Binglan's eyes. She pushed Qin Huaiyu away and walked in front of Zheng Zezi, knelt down slowly, "Father, please allow my daughter to call you like this for the last time. Father's seventeen years of nurturing my daughter can't be repaid. Being able to be an ox and a horse in the next life paid off, but Binglu was not harmed in the slightest, so I ask my father to let Binglu return to the Zheng family!"
"Father, do you really refuse to recognize your daughter?" Zheng Binglu said in a hoarse voice. She looked at her familiar father in disbelief. She still couldn't believe it when she said it.
Zheng Zezi turned around, "As I said, both of my daughters are dead, so go back where you came from!"
After Zheng Binglan said this, Zheng Zezi still refused to accept Zheng Binglu. Zheng Binglan felt ashamed, she stood up and held Zheng Binglu, the last hope in her heart was also shattered by Zheng Zezi's words, "Binglu, let's go!"
Qin Huaiyu was furious for a long time, "What kind of **** is Zheng's family, if you don't go back, let's go!"
Zheng Zezi's body trembled when he heard the words, and two lines of tears flowed down his face. How many choices did he have in the family of the powerful clan? Even if they returned to the Zheng family, they would be kicked out by the family, because the Zheng family They are five surnames and seven kings, and it is impossible for the patriarch to accommodate them. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them stay in Yizhou and live under the protection of the King of Shu.
