Chapter 406: Assault under the Darkness (Part 1)
The aftermath after the war was extremely complicated. Even with Zhang Jianzhi and other loyal and capable subordinates, Li Xian was still busy. Not to mention anything else, just reviewing the official documents of each state made Li Xian a big shot. Since he returned to Lanzhou, he had never slept well. Even though Li Xian was strong, he was unable to bear it after working for three consecutive days. He had no place to let go, so he could only get up early and work in the dark every day. Now, it got up before dawn, and he was busy until noon, and he didn't even bother to drink tea. On the cold day, he was busy sweating all over his body. It was really pitiful!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the two princesses have arrived!"
Just as Li Xian was buried in the official document, Liu Ziming broke into the study and reported excitedly.
"Oh? Hahaha, okay, let's go and take a look with me!"
Li Xian rushed to the front line and was unable to walk with his family. He could only ask Gao Miao and Yu Jizi to lead more than a thousand royal guards to escort Zhao Qiong and Princess Mingyue to Lanzhou. They have not seen each other for nearly two months. They were so anxious that when they heard the two wives arrived, Li Xian was immediately happy. He ignored the official documents and whether it was not official documents. He threw down the wolf pen in his hand, laughed and stood up, and hurriedly greeted the door outside the mansion.
"Your Highness, I have seen you!"
Li Xian had just left the mansion. Gao Miao, who was commanding everyone to unload the truck, was sharp-eyed. When he saw Li Xian's face, he immediately ran over and gave a big gift with joy.
"Gao Miao, thank you for your hard work along the way, everything is going well?"
Li Xianzi praised Gao Miao, his loyal subordinate, without hesitation, so he went forward, raised his hand, helped Gao Miao up, and asked with a smile.
"If you go back to your highness, everything will be fine, just..."
Gao Miao grinned, only half of his words, his face full of mysterious smiles.
"Well? Good boy, I also had an ambush with Gu. After saying that, what happened?"
When Li Xian saw Gao Miao's smile, he knew that things would not be broken at all. However, he could not guess that Gao Miao was playing a lot for a while, and he was too lazy to spend his energy to guess the riddle, so he pretended to be angry and looked up.
"Hehe, Your Highness is overjoyed!"
Gao Miao squeezed his eyes in a flash and kept his eyes closed.
"You guy, what a good thing, tell me, I'm too lazy to guess the riddle!"
Seeing that the scene was busy, Li Xian was only in the three luxury carriages parked in front of the screen wall and saw no movement. He couldn't help but feel suspicious and was in a hurry to see his wife. He had no time to get to Gao Miao's blind mushrooms. He frowned and was really impatient.
"Your Highness, you can do it. You won three yuan even if I don't want to admire you."
Before Gao Miao could reply, a figure flashed, and Yu Jizi, wearing a Taoist robe, appeared in front of Li Xian like a ghost. He raised his thumb and said with a teasing look on his face.
Continued with Sanyuan? I'll take a break, what's going on? When Li Xian heard this strange, he couldn't help but be stunned. He was confused, but he saw three carriages in front of the screen wall almost at the same time with the help of the people. The first one was naturally the concubine Zhao Qiong, followed by the concubine Princess Mingyue, and the other one was bright red. The three women's clothes were different, but the expressions on their faces were particularly consistent. In addition to a little fatigue, there was a lazy satisfaction in their smile.
Is there anything wrong? This is amazing! Li Xian has been a human being for three lifetimes. As soon as he saw the three girls' expressions, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He didn't care about chatting with Gao Miao and others, and then he walked towards the three girls with a few big strides.
"I have seen Your Highness!"
As soon as they saw Li Xian coming over, the three girls stopped at the same time and each of them was blessed with their own blessings.
"Forget it, no, Qiong'er, Yue'er, Yanhong, you, you won't be all..., well, that one, that one..."
Although Li Xian was a man in his third life, his father had been several times, but that was all in the previous two lives. This was the first time Li Xian became a father in this life. He was very excited and even said something unsuccessful.
"fool!"
When they saw Li Xian's helpless look, the three women covered their mouths and laughed, and then they all lowered their heads shyly. Princess Mingyue and Yanhong were unable to speak due to their identity limitations, but Zhao Qiong didn't care. She gave Li Xian a big sanitary ball and spat in a low voice.
"Hahaha... OK, so good, so good!"
Li Xian is so smart, and at this point, he will never misunderstand that it is a foregone conclusion that the girls are happy. He immediately laughed wildly, and his laughter was filled with unconcealed pride...
The King of England was a happy event for officials in Hexi, especially when they were defeated by Tubo, which was worth celebrating. Regardless of whether Li Xian was willing or not, all officials were inevitable for a banquet. There was no doubt that Li Xian would not do anything bad. After ordering, all officials of the seventh rank and above in the city received the invitation, so they went to the Grand Governor's Office to attend the banquet at night.
Li Xian is not short of money, so he would not deliberately save such a big banquet. The wine is a good wine. The special wine produced by "Deng Ji Store" is naturally a good dish. Although it was early winter and the fresh ingredients were limited, under the supervision of the chef of the royal palace, the whole sheep, hump, bear's paw, shark fin and other excellent dishes were full of. Compared with the palace feast, although there was less exquisite mystery, it had more grand temperament. The guests and hosts were happy, and it was very lively. The banquet lasted from the You hour to the end of the Xu hour, and it was just over. They all passed by the banquet.
"...Li Xian is so boring. Isn't it just a woman? What's so great about it? It's such a big show. Hey, I see, this is not a celebration, it's a trick to buy people's hearts. Grandma's, she doesn't have much wine, just a jar. Isn't this a simple and tempting wine? It's boring, it's really boring..."
Qiu Shenjie and Li Wen were both third-rank and fourth-rank, and they were all invited, and they were all on the table. However, these two people were just a new arrival and were not familiar with each other. In addition, officials from the King of England knew what these two were, so they would not take the initiative to get close to them. If there was such a drink, the two of them would lack some excitement. In front of Li Xian, they did not dare to have any disrespectful words and deeds. But after the show was over, Li Wen's eldest young master's temper couldn't help but emerge. Since he squeezed into Qiu Shenjie's carriage, the words were not over, and he was like a resentful woman.
"Little Prince, that's not what he said. Your Highness Ying is also kind-hearted. He has less alcohol, but he still has to be a director tomorrow. He has to drink and he has to drink. Who will do it? As for whether to buy people's hearts or not, look at it. Hexi is almost the inner courtyard of the Ying Palace, so I'm afraid there is no need to buy it anymore."
Qiu Shenji was here by the secret order of Empress Wu to check and balance Li Xian. The purpose was the same as Li Wen. However, the two were not one and could only be considered an ally. For him, the only function of a rookie like Li Wen is a chess piece that can be used. At this moment, Li Wen was full of complaints, so he was happy to push it from behind, which would be more exciting to make a fuss with Li Xian so that he could gather the needs of the army.
"Hmph, joke, this world is the world of the Tang Dynasty. What is Li Xian? I want him to be nice sooner or later. What a thing, isn't it just a few small victories? That's why I don't have a chance, otherwise, he would be so arrogant!"
Li Wen is a firecracker, and there is a little old grudge with Li Xian. He was ordered to come to Hexi this time to see Li Xian come. At this time, he heard Qiu Shenji's words so sour, and immediately exploded and started yelling with his neck regardless of the consequences.
"Little Prince, be careful, be careful, be careful. This place is full of the eyes and ears of the King of England. If these words are passed on, the consequences..., tsk, it will be difficult to see each other."
Qiu Shenji's actions to take over military power in the past few days have made a lot of excitement, but the results are not great. Although the generals below did not embarrass him very much, there were many cases of lip service, which made him hit the soft nails of all ages and was thinking about instigating Li Wen to make a fuss. At this moment, when he saw Li Wen getting angry, he felt a little happy and he was busy adding fuel to the fire.
"He dares? Humph, I'm afraid of him being slutty. Hey, my father is now the prince's tutor, and he is the princes. I'm afraid of him. Humph, it's not me that you are too afraid of trouble. Xu Yuanmao's group of killers didn't take you and me seriously at all. If you don't kill him, how can you bring this soldier? Humph, I'll beat Xu Yuanmao to see who dares to make a fight!"
Li Wen was young and energetic after all, and could not hide things in his heart. He was so tempted by Qiu Shenji's few words that he didn't know the whole world. He dared to go wild with no bullshit.
"Report to the general, the little prince's mansion has arrived."
Seeing that Li Wen had already been coaxed to the fun, Qiu Shenji laughed secretly in his heart. Just as he thought of "persuading" a few more words, he heard the news from the personal guards coming from outside the carriage.
"Oh, little prince, you're at the ground. Haha, don't worry, things are done slowly, just do it."
Qiu Shenji smiled and lifted the curtain, gestured to invite him, but he did not forget to stir Li Wen's nerves again.
"Slow down? If you slow down, the daylily will be cold. Don't say it anymore. I will look for Xu Yuanmao's bad luck tomorrow!"
Li Wen curled his lips disdainfully, expressed his dissatisfaction with Qiu Shenji's cautious attitude. He hummed and left the sentence angrily. He hunched, got off the carriage, served him in person, and walked towards the screen wall in front of his house. While he was walking, he suddenly heard something was wrong behind him. When he suddenly turned around, his eyes immediately turned into longans...
