"Uncle..."
Hearing this voice, Li Yi stopped, chewed the big white rabbit in his mouth twice and swallowed it, turned his head, and saw three figures standing opposite him.
A distance of ten feet away, Lao Fang's body trembled slightly. Although the face in front of him was unfamiliar, he had already seen portraits when he was in Shuzhou, not to mention that the person opposite him was so familiar in shape and temperament, how could he be so familiar? Can you forget
"Uncle."
Yang Liuqing stepped forward and bowed slightly. Today she is no longer the young girl she was a year ago, she has outstanding temperament, standing there like a sword drawn out of its sheath.
"Li County Marquis, don't come here without any problems."
The middle-aged Taoist priest in a wide avenue robe bowed his hands to him and smiled. He stood there casually, as if blending with the surrounding world.
Li Yi's eyes lingered on the three of them for a long time, then turned and pushed open the courtyard door.
…
"Uncle, where is Second Miss, didn't you say you are together?" Lao Fang asked impatiently as he closed the courtyard door.
Li Yi didn't answer, but looked at him first and asked, "How is Ruyi, how is the situation at home?"
Lao Fang smiled and said, "Miss is fine, and everything is fine at home, and we are all waiting for my uncle to go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Second Miss Liu came out of the room, Yang Liuqing walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Master!"
Miss Liu Er looked at her, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grab her shoulder.
Yang Liuqing swayed, subconsciously retreated and dodged, but in the end he still couldn't break free.
Miss Liu Er patted her on the shoulder, nodded and said, "That's right, the effort hasn't fallen."
Suddenly, a figure flew out of a certain window of the nearby inn. The slovenly old man landed steadily in the courtyard, stood beside Li Yi, looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest with vigilance, and asked, "Old Taoist Yuan, don't you go?" Cultivating your immortal, what are you doing here?"
A hint of surprise appeared on the face of the middle-aged Taoist, and he asked, "Old Freak Xu, you are not in Wu Kingdom, why are you here?"
Li Yi turned to look at the sloppy old man, and asked, "Do you know each other?"
The middle-aged Taoist said: "When the poor Taoist traveled to various countries in his early years, he had a relationship with him once."
The slovenly old man snorted coldly, and said: "In this world, apart from these ox-nosed Taoist priests, who else can practice the art of retaining the face to such a level? This is what the old man looked like when he met him thirty years ago. In the past thirty years, his martial arts has grown. You don’t know if you haven’t made any progress, but with this appearance, you haven’t made any progress at all!”
Li Yi looked at the two of them, waved his hand and said, "They are all my own, sit down and talk."
Old Fang poured a bowl of water fiercely, and then said: "Two days ago, we just arrived in Shuzhou. We heard that my uncle and the second lady were in Qi State, and they came here without delay. The others are now outside the city. Can enter the city, my lord, when shall we set off?"
"Not in a hurry." Li Yi looked back at the Taoist priest just now, thinking that he should be about the same age as Old Freak Xu, but he seemed to be decades behind, suppressing those strange feelings in his heart, and asked: " This priest..."
"By His Majesty's order, take Li County Marquis back." The Taoist surnamed Yuan said with a smile.
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "When did you become a county magistrate?"
"It was the day Li County Marquis left Beijing." Daoist Yuan looked at him and said, "When are we going to leave?"
"Just these two days." Li Yi thought for a while, turned his head to look in a certain direction, and said, "I didn't say hello when I came here. Before I leave, I always have to say something else..."
Lin Yong leaned against the door of Fanglin Garden, glanced at the closed courtyard door next to him again, shook his head, and murmured: "It seems that it's time to eat, what are you doing with the door closed?"
…
…
Fengzhou government office.
"Sure enough, as His Highness expected, His Majesty recalled His Highness and the First Prince back to the capital, and even the supervisory censor returned to the capital together. According to what the envoy just said, almost all the officials in the court fell on His Highness's side. The memorial to impeach the First Prince There are countless people, and the voices of the people are not small, this time, the situation is very favorable to us!" Fengzhou governor said with a smile on his face, looking at Zhao Yi.
"There is no precedent for discussing crimes. Unless the emperor directly orders this matter, once it is discussed on the bright side, loyal ministers and officials in the capital will not agree." Zhao Yi waved his hand and said: "Since the capital has News, withdraw all the defenders outside the station."
Governor of Fengzhou bowed and said, "I will arrange it immediately."
Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked out of the window habitually.
Ever since he emerged in Qi State, the conflict with the eldest prince has been intensifying. At first, he only thought about governing Fengzhou well, and didn't think about fighting for anything. Later, some things happened, which nearly killed him several times After that, I gradually realized that fighting might be a way to survive, and not fighting is a dead word sooner or later.
From being pushed on this road to today's step, there is no turning back.
Half a month or even a few days ago, he never thought that this time the eldest prince came to Fengzhou, and he would end up like this in the end.
In just a few days, from being passive to taking the upper hand, the change was so great that he was somewhat unexpected.
Zhao Yi sighed slowly, and said, "Brother Li, brother Li, since you have done so much, why don't you come out to see me?"
Governor of Fengzhou walked out of the door, just as an official greeted him.
The man first bowed his hands and bowed, and then he said: "Master Zhou, the person you asked the officials to investigate has already been found out. The Lin family caravan went to Jingguo more than two months ago. From Jingguo They brought back two people, the man's name is Li Xuan, and now he is the accountant of the Lin family..."
Zhao Yi came out of the room, looked at him and asked, "What did you say, Jing Guo, Li Xuan?"
"Your Highness..." The official was about to salute, but Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "Say what you just said again..."
"Yes!" The official said again: "The young man and woman were rescued from bandits when the Lin family caravan returned from Jingguo and passed through Shuzhou. The man's name is Li Xuan..."
"Shuzhou, Li Xuan..., this king knows." Zhao Yi showed a smile on his face, and strode out, followed closely by the guards behind him.
"Fanglin Garden."
Zhao Yi stood in front of a shop in the city, looked at the plaque above, and murmured: "It really is."
A person behind said: "Your Highness, this is a store of the Lin family in Fengzhou. There are two other stores like this."
The middle-aged scholar beside Zhao Yi waved his fan and said, "Your Highness, are you going to the Lin family now?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "How can you be so hasty, let's go back to the palace first."
…
"Your Highness, here is an invitation, someone just sent it." In Prince Feng's mansion, just after Zhao Yi came back, the steward of the palace presented an invitation.
"Who sent it?" In the study, Zhao Yi was writing with a pen, and asked a little casually.
"I don't know, it was stabbed in the door of the mansion with a dagger." The housekeeper bowed and said.
Recently, the palace has encountered some strange things one after another. It is not the first time that a dagger has passed a letter, and there is nothing to make a fuss about when an invitation is passed.
"Dagger?" Zhao Yi paused, waved his hand and said, "Bring it here."
He took the invitation from the butler, read it carefully several times, crumpled up the invitation he just wrote, and said with a smile: "Get ready, my king is going out soon."
