"What? Do you have no confidence in you, or do you have no confidence in me? Or..." Li Hong deliberately lengthened his voice and said lightly: "Or you two have also had the confidence to support yourself as a soldier..."
"I don't dare. I just feel that this matter is too important. I'm afraid that your appointment will bring criticism to Your Highness. I have been favored by Your Highness for many years. I can learn from this with the passing of the sun and the moon!" Li Shangjin and Li Sujie After hearing Li Hong's words, he immediately saluted and said firmly in a deep voice.
"That's it, so you two don't refuse. Besides, when Jiangnan Three Roads calm down, they will take it back. It's not like I'm going to let you work happily for the rest of your life." Li Hong said with a slight smile.
Looking at the sunset that was about to sink down the mountain in the west, Li Hong didn't know why, but he didn't like the charm of the sunset since he was a child. Maybe it was because when he was in Anxi, he saw too many sunsets over the long river, and he felt a sense of loneliness in his heart. In short, He had never had a good impression of the setting sun.
"Your Highness, it's okay to ask your Highness to agree to this, but... I have one condition to ask Your Highness for permission. If Your Highness doesn't allow it, we will... Even..."
"The administrative office of Huainan Road is Yangzhou, and King Luo Bin will assist you." Li Hong looked at Li Sujie, the marching general of Huainan Road who was about to take office, and said with a smile: "As for the third child, Yang Jiong is now in Jiangnan West Road. He will also help you."
Hearing Li Hong's words, the two of them relaxed, and an unexpected joy suddenly appeared between their eyebrows. They looked at Li Hong and said with a smile: "So you have thought about it a long time ago! I also said, why did you You are willing to send your important ministers in Anxi to Jiangnan one by one. It turns out that you had this plan at that time! "
"I don't dare to say that. When I let them come to Jiangnan, I just hoped that they would not be arrogant and complacent. They thought that Anxi was comparable to Jiangnan because of the increasing number of business travelers in Anxi. This was to increase their knowledge for these rustics. I don't want to be like this. It's just in time." Li Hong waved to the distance, and saw Bai Chun walking over with Princess Dalai, who was not leaving for fear of being sold.
"You really scared the two of us to death. If you do this, it will be much better. Otherwise, if we take office now, we will not be able to feel at ease all the way." Li Shangjin said with a long sigh of relief with lingering fear.
She took the towel handed over by Bai Chun and wiped the dirt on her hand. Then she took the exquisite purple clay teapot in Bai Chun's other hand. She glanced at Lao Gao with pouty lips and was very dissatisfied with Li Hong's recent attitude towards her. Princess Dali glanced at her and said to Bai Chun: "Let her do the rough work in the future. If you want to study in Datang, you have to be prepared to endure hardships and stand hard work. If you still act like a princess, how can you study with humility?"
"You... I'm here to learn, not to serve you. I don't want to serve you!" Princess Dalai was stunned. She didn't expect that this guy would go even further and even wanted to train herself to be her maid! How abominable!
"Learning has to be a process. Let's start with how to serve others. I didn't want you to start learning from how to serve me in bed. It's already..."
"Go to hell!" Princess Dalai was furious. This hateful man had been staring at her chest just now. She should have known that he would not be able to say anything nice.
Bai Chun lowered his head and chuckled, and pushed Li Hong's arm angrily, reminding Li Hong that King Ze Li Shangjin and King Xu Li Sujie were also present.
Li Hongsan's few words easily aroused the shame and anger in Princess Dalai's heart, so she angrily walked to the pond, groaned and looked at the free fish in the pond, and wanted to smash the pebbles she just picked up in her hand. Go into the pond to vent your anger.
But seeing those fish suddenly swimming like her, she felt unbearable again, so she had to put the pebbles in her hands far away, and began to squat down and tease the fish in the pond.
"How about we go out to find a restaurant later to see you two off, and give me a welcome as well?" Li Hong ignored Bai Chun's accusation, grabbed Bai Chun's boneless little hand, and said easily.
"Okay, we have to say goodbye tomorrow, and I'm afraid we will have to wait until Jiangnan has changed its world again. Lao Wu, don't worry, we will never let you down!" Li Suye nodded and agreed to Li Hong's proposal. Then he said as if giving a military order.
"Now you are more familiar with Chang'an than me, who came here earlier than you. I think you must have a good place to come. I just happened to go to see it today. It's really unfair to say that it has been so long since I came to Hangzhou. , but I am still not familiar with Hangzhou at all." Li Hong continued to hold Bai Chun's little hand, and the teapot in his hand had already been handed over to the two maids in the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion.
Bai Chun tugged Li Hong's hand, and then motioned Li Hong to look at the edge of the pond. The thin back of Princess Dalai was facing them at the moment. He couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but looking at that Li Hong still admired the strong woman in a foreign country.
"Hey, Asami Noko, do you want to go out for dinner with us?" Li Hong stopped and said looking at the thin, lonely figure.
The thin shoulders visibly stiffened, and then he was still teasing the fish in the pond with the grass, and whispered: "I'm going to eat with that hateful man. You can swim here and wait for me." I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
"Why don't you go! I have to pay for a year..."
"You are obsessed with money. Also, you are a Japanese princess, and your total annual expenses are only 50,000 taels. Don't you think it is a little less?" Li Hong was pulled by Bai Chun, indicating that he would wait until he came. Let's go together after the princess comes.
Li Sujie and Li Shangjin had already gone out to call their servants to prepare the carriage.
"Are you planning something else?" Li Hong asked warily when he saw Bai Chun looking at Princess Dalai who was approaching them with a smile.
"No, I just think she is quite innocent and like her a little bit." Bai Chun raised her head, lightly opened her red lips, and looked at Li Hong sweetly and said.
"You should show less sympathy to the Japanese people. They are a real nation that has breasts and mothers. This bad nature has been deeply rooted in their bones. They only obey the strong. Once you are weaker than them, they will forget Your kindness to her in the past will only make her exploit you even more," Li Hong said to Bai Chun with a look that didn't look like he was joking.
Bai Chunmei's beautiful eyes rested on Li Hong's cheek, and a trace of astonishment and surprise flashed across his expression. She did not expect that His Highness had such an in-depth understanding of the Japanese nation.
Although she didn't know whether what he said was right or wrong, judging from her past experience, His Highness must have a reason for what he said and it must be right.
So he nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, I understand. I will bear in mind His Highness's warning."
"Just grasp the right balance, and remember not to have a heart-to-heart relationship with her, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers." Li Hong patted Bai Chun's shoulder as if comforting.
Little did he know that a few years later, Bai Chun did not suffer a loss from Princess Dalai, but he suffered an unspeakable secret loss from Princess Dalai!
There were three men and two women sitting in the troika. In addition to the personal eunuchs of King Ze Li Shangjin and the personal eunuchs of King Xu Li Sujie, those who drove the troika were Mang Zhong and Cheetah who drove Li Hong.
As for the others, Li Hong did not take them with him. Today, most of Hangzhou and Yangzhou are monitored by Jingwei.
After Jingwei has grown and developed over the years, apart from the fact that the core number has not changed much, the periphery has undergone great changes. Even some people on the periphery don't know who they are buying information for.
Therefore, neither Li Sujie nor Li Shangjin, who had stayed in Hangzhou for a while, had any objection to Li Hong traveling in this simple way.
In the city of Hangzhou when the lanterns first came on, pedestrians were still on the road, and the bustling streets were still full of vitality. The shops did not choose to close their doors because of the closing of the city gates, but they were still enthusiastic Welcoming merchants from all directions.
As soon as Princess Dalai got into the car, she felt as fresh as when she first entered the city. Everything outside the car window felt fresh, and she even felt a desire to jump out of the car, shuttle and merge into the streets.
"Can you take me out for a walk tomorrow?" Princess Dalai turned her head and ignored Li Hong, who was sitting between them, and stretched her neck to look at Bai Chun on the other side.
"That's fine if nothing happens." Bai Chun said with a smile.
"Thank you. I have to thank you whether you are free or not. Can I come out by myself? Just stroll around. I won't run around." Princess Dai Lai's beautiful big eyes were shining with a spark that was hard to refuse. pray and ask.
"No! You are now an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. Your father has spent so much money to bring you to the Tang Dynasty. It is not for you to visit, but for you to learn." Li Hong had a straight face and moved his big head back and forth to cover the Tang Dynasty. The princess' gaze said.
"I knew it would be like this, that's Father! Father! Father!" Princess Dalai pouted and retorted dully.
"Isn't it okay to call me daddy?" Li Hong held Bai Chun's waist, and after the carriage slowly stopped, he took Bai Chun out of the carriage.
Looking back at Princess Dalai who was standing on the carriage, she wanted to jump off but didn't dare. She wanted to slip out of the carriage, but she felt it was indecent, so she was caught in a tangle. She had no choice but to stretch out her hand and said: "Come down, I will catch you. "
"...Really?" Princess Dalai didn't expect that he would be so kind, and she didn't expect that he would be sympathetic to other women.
Don't forget, whether it was when he was captured or on the way back to the Tang Dynasty from Japan, although he and he were in the same cabin, this guy never said that he would humbly give up the large and comfortable bed to him. I slept with myself.
Every night, he slept soundly on the bed, curled up on the sofa and listened pitifully to his snoring, and then when it was almost dawn, he couldn't help but squint sleepily for a while.
