Li Ye decided to meet Li Keyong for a while, but he didn't intend to let Li Yan follow. After all, the other party is a prince who aspires to be the crown prince. He will not stand by and watch - even if Li Yan can hold back his temper, if Li Ye and Li Keyong become enemies, and Li Keyong also bears a grudge against Li Yan by the way, it will be harmful to the overall situation.
Speaking of which, Li Guochang's real name is Zhu Xie Chixin, who is from Shatuo. When the imperial court suppressed the Pang Xun Rebellion, he and Li Keyong both made extraordinary achievements, so they were given surnames by the emperor. As a degree envoy, Li Keyong was awarded the general of the tooth in the cloud.
Because of the great victory against the grasslands in the early days of the dynasty and the court’s gentle policy towards the grassland tribes, many grassland tribes defected to the dynasty and were placed on the front line of the Great Wall by the court: Dangxiang, Shatuo, and some Uighurs. It played a big role in the foreign war, the later border defense, and the pacification of various internal rebellions, including the Anshi Rebellion.
Let's not talk about these, but Li Ye learned from Li Yan that Wu Hongshan was hosting a banquet at the mansion today to entertain Li Keyong and his party, and then he left Prince An's mansion on horseback, ready to join in the fun.
"Your Highness, I heard from King Pu that Consort Wu held a banquet at the mansion today. It was not a simple banquet, but invited many officials from Chang'an. We don't have an invitation card, so going there rashly, is there something wrong? "
On the street, Shangguan Qingcheng followed Li Ye on horseback, and there were only the two of them in the party, and Li Ye didn't even bring the prince's guard of honor with him.
"Are you still afraid that we won't be able to get in?" Li Ye chuckled lightly, "Although His Majesty nodded his head about Princess Li and Li Keyong, the court hasn't formally conferred the marriage yet, so we want to discredit Li Ke before that." Use it, let His Majesty take back the order, time is running out, there is no room for looking forward and backward."
Shangguan Qingcheng nodded, she instinctively felt that this trip to the son-in-law's mansion was no different from facing a dragon pond and a tiger's lair, just like going to Niushou Mountain back then, Li Ye was only with her at that time, thinking of this, Shangguan Qingcheng suddenly felt Glory felt that the responsibility was heavy, and secretly prepared for the "shopping".
"Ever since she came back from Niu Shou Mountain, Princess Li hasn't come to look for His Highness again. I heard that she was grounded by Consort Wu. It's been a few months. Princess Li is so pitiful." Shangguan Qingcheng sighed as he recalled the past.
Li Ye was about to say something, when suddenly his mind moved, and he realized that someone was bumping into his mount.
He could have dodged, but in an instant, after judging the opponent's strength and the aura needed to dodge, he chose not to react—the opponent's strength is not enough to make him afraid, and if he dodges quickly, it may expose his true nature. Xiuwei.
A big man in brocade clothes came out from the wine shop by the side of the road, and bumped into Li Ye's horse with a bang, causing the white horse to neigh. The white horse was lying crookedly, his eyes were drunk, his face was flushed, he had drunk too much wine, his body smelled of alcohol, and he was still yelling, saying something he couldn't understand.
Looking at his face, he was not from the Central Plains.
A group of people rushed out of the wine shop, all of them were from other races, they were all dressed in brocade clothes, and rushed to help the drunk man in brocade clothes, followed by a few men in Confucian shirts, all of them were from the Central Plains.
"Damn it, why is the threshold so high that the uncle almost fell to the ground, really hurt the uncle, I smashed your restaurant!" Even when he got to the official dialect, he could speak it fluently.
He straightened his clothes, looked up and saw Li Ye, and seeing Li Ye looking at him, he immediately gave a bull's eye stare: "Stinky boy, what are you looking at, and look at the uncle gouging out your eyeballs!"
Very arrogant and domineering.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched like a smile but not a smile.
He knew this person, Li Keyong's younger brother, Li Kerang, participated in the suppression of the Huangchao Rebellion in his previous life, and had considerable military exploits. He was worshiped as General Jin Wuwei, and Li Ye had met him several times.
Shangguan Qingcheng was not happy anymore, pointed his whip at Li Kerang's face, and angrily said: "Where did the barbarian come from, who dared to be so arrogant when he bumped into my master's horse?!"
Li Kerang had a rough face and looked quite mature, but he was actually only in his early twenties. He was stunned by Shangguan Qingcheng's scolding, and then he was furious, and said with a ferocious expression: "No one has ever dared to talk to me like that, and no one has dared to point at me with a horsewhip. Follow me, you are courting death!"
As he said that, he grabbed Shangguan Qingcheng's whip and pushed back hard, trying to pull Shangguan Qingcheng off the horse's back, but Shangguan Qingcheng didn't move at all, and didn't respond at all.
"You're still a qi trainer? Can ten people in Chang'an City practice well? But you offended me, but you are doomed!" Li Kerang was angry while circulating his spiritual energy.
The people behind him were used to being domineering in the feudal town, and when they saw the two gangs fighting, they were willing to stand by and watch, and immediately surrounded them, wanting to pull Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng off their horses, yelling: "Get off! "How dare you bump into the young master, and still kneel down to make amends!"
The few Confucian scholars who followed them must have been the officials who received and accompanied them. At this time, they hurried up to dissuade them, but when they couldn't persuade them, they scolded Li Ye: "You still don't get off your horse?! Do you know who you have offended? Hurry up and make amends." , otherwise you will suffer!"
Li Ye had just become an official, and before that he had lived in the royal palace, plus he had no talent and reputation, most of the thousands of officials in Chang'an City didn't know him.
Shangguan Qingcheng, who was wrestling with Li Kerang, her fair face gradually turned red. Although the opponent was young, he was a second-level Qi training master, which made her quite nervous.
Li Ye looked at the people surrounding him, and smiled: "Chang'an, the capital, when will ten people be able to act wildly? Today I want to see, who can get me off my horse!"
"You are so arrogant!" Li Kerang saw that Li Ye was so condescending, he was so angry that one buddha came out of his body and two buddhas ascended to heaven. Li Ye's mount came crashing down, it was going to knock Li Ye over directly with his horse and man!

Li Ye snorted coldly.
Accompanied by his cold snort, Li Kerang trembled all over, and his punching posture froze in the middle. His fist was only half a foot away from the white horse, but he couldn't make any further progress. Not only that, he felt a majestic force, like a mountain Pressed on his shoulders, the huge oppressive force made him overwhelmed, his face turned pale as paper, and even his breathing became rough.
Let alone Li Kerang, who is on the second floor of Qi training, let alone other people. After all, Qi training masters are not ordinary people. Among these people, the highest cultivation level is just like Li Kerang. At this moment, it seems that someone has given a body fixation technique Generally, they are frozen in place and unable to move, even unable to move their fingers. Some of them with low cultivation level just vomit blood and collapse to the ground!
Li Ye's cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi training. At this time, he crushes everyone. He doesn't need to use all his strength to expose his cultivation and make everyone's life worse than death. Without awe, I really don't know how to live or die. Still don't kneel down?"
"I kneel to you..." Li Kerang was about to swear, but before he finished speaking, he felt the pressure on his body suddenly doubled, as if someone had hit him with a giant hammer, and he couldn't bear it anymore Stop, a mouthful of blood spewed out immediately, and as soon as his knees softened, he uncontrollably lowered his head and knelt beside the white horse!
There were already many onlookers gathered around, and when they saw this scene, they all shouted happily.
"This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. There is no place for these savages to run wild. They really want to die!"
"These barbarians from the north really think of themselves as personalities, but they don't know that there are so many masters in Chang'an City!"
"Whose son is this, he is so handsome in life, and his cultivation is so strong!"
The shopkeeper standing at the door of the wine shop had been pissed off by Li Kerang before, but now seeing Li Kerang deflated, not to mention how happy he was, he spit at Li Kerang, relieved his anger and said, "Fuck, I'll let you fuck, I've seen it for a long time. Come out, you have a bloody plague today!"
Hearing these words, Li Kerang was so ashamed and angry that he vomited blood again.
"Get out!" Li Ye withdrew his cultivation and shouted coldly.
"You wait for me, I'll call someone!" Li Kerang felt ashamed, blushed to the base of his neck, dropped a word, and before he had time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he ran away in a hurry with his frightened followers.
Of course Li Ye wouldn't wait here, he still had to go to the son-in-law's mansion for a banquet, besides, even if Li Kerang really wanted to call someone, I'm afraid he could only be called Li Keyong, that fellow is now in the son-in-law's mansion.
Li Ye didn't take this episode seriously, and it was already 3 o'clock when he arrived at the son-in-law's mansion. Today, the gate of Consort Mansion was open, but there were no carriages parked in front of the door screen, presumably the banquet had already started, Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng both got off their horses and handed the reins to the servants of Concubine Mansion.
The steward who greeted the guests in front of the gate knew Li Ye. After all, when Li Xian was alive, he had a good relationship with Wu Hongshan, and the two families had frequent contacts. Once it changes, it's like seeing a malevolent star.
"I've seen His Highness King An... Why is Your Highness here?" The steward hurriedly came forward to salute, feeling very embarrassed.
Li Ye and Wu You were childhood sweethearts. When they were childhood sweethearts in the past, Li Xian and Wu Hongshan both mentioned that when they grow up, they will marry each other as in-laws, and Wu You's feelings for Li Ye are known to everyone in the clan, but This is where it gets awkward.
Li Ye didn't feel any embarrassment, he smiled lightly: "I can't come if I'm alone? Why, has Concubine Wu already ordered that I can't come in or out of the Concubine's Mansion alone?"
"What is your Highness talking about, come in quickly." What else could the steward say, of course he could only welcome Li Ye in, could it be possible that he really wanted to hang the dignified prince outside
Li Ye led Shangguan Qingcheng into the gate, walked around the shadow wall and walked towards the mansion. In fact, he is very familiar with the mansion of the concubine, so he doesn't need to lead the way at all, but in the current situation, it is better for someone to lead the way, so as to show that he is being welcomed. Not breaking in.
The banquet was held in a magnificent and very spacious hall, with more than 20 food tables, the hall was still not crowded, and there were officials seated behind the food tables, all of whom were important officials from Wei Baoheng's family, and Wu Hongshan's relatives and friends.
When they saw Li Ye appearing outside the hall, their expressions immediately became very exciting.
