It's really good fortune. Li Yi remembered the first time he had a relationship with the king of Shu, and it seemed that he was also in the palace of the king of Shu.
The same banquet, the same Shu Palace, but the first time it was in Kyoto, this time it was in Shuzhou.
Going around, everything seems to be back to the original point, but in fact the route has long gone astray.
At least the king of Shu has gone astray. He has a noble status and a background in the sky. If he doesn't want to be a prince in the capital and wait to inherit the throne, why bother to go to such a remote and remote place
Li Yi went downstairs with the Taoist nun, and a middle-aged man walked out of a room. When he saw him, he was startled and asked, "Auntie, who is this?"
"An important guest."
The Taoist nun seemed unwilling to explain too much, but just said something lightly.
The young man looked at Li Yi suspiciously, but didn't say much, and walked on the other side of the Taoist nun.
Li Yi touched his cheek, the thing was stuck tightly, and it shouldn't fall out suddenly.
Otherwise, he was really not sure if he would be frightened into a sudden myocardial infarction if he "revealed his true form" in front of the King of Shu.
Even if you don't, be careful.
Li Yi thought about being taken to the country of Qi by this Taoist nun and appearing on the territory of the king of Shu, and felt that the former would be less dangerous.
Fortunately, the king of Shu didn't know that the reason why he was expelled to Shuzhou was that he spared no effort behind his back to help him for free. Otherwise, even if this Taoist aunt is a master master, she might not be able to stop him.
Yong County is not big, and the Shu Palace is located in the most prosperous place in the county. Before entering the mansion, Li Yi's first impression was that it was shabby.
Too shabby.
He has been to two palaces, Prince Ning's Mansion in Qing'an Mansion and Prince Shu's Mansion in Kyoto. He has been to countless palaces in the imperial palace. The Prince Shu's Mansion in Yong County is indeed the most shabby one he has ever seen.
Based on this, it can be inferred that the life of the King of Shu here should not be very moist.
Li Yi was right in guessing that the King of Shu's life was indeed not very happy. Anyone who was expelled from the capital of power to this place would not be in a good mood.
Not only is it remote, but it is also poor. Although his title is "Shu King", since he was a child, he never thought that he would really come to this place one day.
"I've been dawdling, I haven't eaten!" The King of Shu came out of a spacious room, pointed at the servant girls in a hurry, and said with a frown, "My king's banquet is about to start, so delay It's time, watch your heads!"
Nothing is good in Sichuan, the place is not good, the people are not good, even the maids and servants in the house are not as handy as those in Kyoto.
Never before has the King of Shu hated the word "Shu" as much as he does now.
A figure came from a distance, with a smile on his face, he bowed his hands to the king of Shu first, and then said: "Your Highness, there is good news from the capital!"
There was a gleam of joy on the face of the King of Shu, and he immediately asked: "What news, did the father call me back to Beijing?"
The man showed embarrassment on his face and said, "No, Your Highness."
The expression on the King of Shu's face became a little ugly, and he asked, "What good news is that?"
The man said awkwardly, "Your Highness, Bo Li Yi of Chang'an County has disappeared. He has been missing for nearly a month. I'm afraid it's more or less ominous."
Hearing a certain name, the King of Shu lifted his spirits and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
The man immediately said: "Li Yi, Li Yi, the uncle of Chang'an County."
"Li Yi is missing?" King Shu asked with surprise.
"Yes, this is the news from the imperial court just now, and there should be no falsehood." The man is the long history of the Shu Palace. He just received the letter from the imperial court at this moment, and immediately came to report it.
"Is he dead?" King Shu asked expectantly.
"..."
The man was stunned, and said: "There is no specific news yet. The court said that Li Xianbo was held hostage by thieves. If he went west, he might pass through Shuzhou. Let the local officials pay attention to this matter. If Li Xianbo is found , find a way to rescue."
"Rescue, Mr. Li Xianbo is the pillar of our Jingguo, and he has to find a way to rescue him!" The King of Shu sneered twice, and said: "Send someone to the governor's mansion, and then go to the county yamen to notify, as soon as there is news about Li Yi , report to this king immediately!"
"yes!"
The man bowed and said something, and quickly retreated.
"Li Yi..." The King of Shu showed a sneer on his face, and said, "You'd better pray to God to bless you, don't fall into my hands this time!"
It was getting late, and gradually guests began to visit the door.
Although Shuzhou is the fiefdom of the King of Shu, it is the local gentry and gentry who really firmly control Shuzhou. Even though the Cui family has been operating here for a long time, the name is not right. After the King of Shu came to Shuzhou, He held such banquets frequently, and most of the people invited were the local gentry of Shuzhou. If he could get the support of these people, he would be able to firmly control Shuzhou, and he would never have to worry about it again.
"I have seen His Highness!"
"See Your Highness the King of Shu!"
…
The people who came tonight included local officials, and most of them were young heroes who were well-known in Shuzhou, representing the various forces behind them. The King of Shu glanced at them, estimated the number of people, and was generally satisfied.
"Fang has met His Highness the King of Shu."
A voice came from not far away. When the King of Shu turned his head, a smile appeared on his face. He walked over and said, "Why did you come here? This king has been waiting for you for a long time."
For this man surnamed Fang, the King of Shu was very grateful.
One time when he was traveling, he happened to meet a group of thugs in the city. If the young man in front of him hadn't rescued him, he would have been in danger.
Of course, the reason why he was so polite to him was that besides the grace of saving his life, the other party also held a mysterious power in his hand. Although he hadn't seen the whole picture yet, the exposed tip of the iceberg also made him very afraid.
However, if this power can become his help in the future, it is also an excellent thing.
The King of Shu looked at the Taoist nun next to the man surnamed Fang, was surprised for a moment, and immediately asked: "This Taoist priest, is it that you often mention..."
"Exactly." The man surnamed Fang said with a smile.
The king of Shu straightened his expression, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Taoist priest."
"Your Highness, you are welcome." The nun also nodded slightly.
"Please take your seats." King Shu smiled and pointed to a seat very close to the front.
"Let's go there." The young man surnamed Fang took Li Yi and the Taoist nun there.
"Wait a moment."
Li Yi turned around and had just taken two steps when suddenly the voice of King Shu came from behind him.
"What else is there, Your Highness?"
The King of Shu watched the young man beside the Taoist girl turn around, with a look of suspicion on his face, and asked, "You look familiar, have we met somewhere?"
The young man smiled and said: "When I was in the capital, I only met His Highness a few times from a distance, and I'm afraid His Highness has recognized the wrong person."
The King of Shu frowned slightly, his voice was unfamiliar, and his appearance was also unfamiliar, but why did he feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
What's even more strange is that just looking at this face, he will feel an inexplicable disgust...
"Forget it, it's okay, the king has admitted the wrong person." A moment later, a trace of doubt appeared on the face of the king of Shu, he shook his head, turned and left.
The middle-aged Taoist nun took a look at Li Yi and sat down on the main seat.
Li Yi sighed secretly in his heart, there is a saying, the person who knows you the most is not your friend, but your enemy..., this sentence is really fucking reasonable!
Soon, singers and dancers came out from around, and accompanied by the night lights, they performed in the room to their heart's content. Li Yi took a sip from his glass, but didn't care to appreciate it. He leaned back on the chair, put his arms behind his head, and watched To the starry night sky.
At the same time, after a day's performance in Shuzhou City, several men stood in a row in a certain fence that had just closed, bowed and said, "See the lord!"
A hundred miles away, under the darkness of night, an old man leaned against a tree trunk, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, took out a pill, and threw it into his mouth.
"Bah, it's so hard!"
After a while, he murmured, took out another cloth bag from his arms, carefully took out a milky white square the size of a nail, threw it into his mouth, and said in a muffled voice: "Damn Taoist, she ran very fast!" …”
