A burst of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, a figure turned out, and a middle-aged housekeeper wearing a light blue silk gown quickly walked in.
The butler held a dark red invitation and respectfully handed it to Lu Yuanming's hand.
Lu Yuanming's face was filled with surprise. Now that the Lu family was hosting a banquet for the Prince of Nanchang, why would there be other invitations sent to him.
Lu Yuanming glanced at the housekeeper with doubts, and the housekeeper nodded slightly with a solemn expression.
Things are not that simple.
Lu Yuanming raised his eyebrows, opened the invitation, looked down, and immediately frowned.
"Uncle Shi, I wonder what happened?" Li Xuan looked at Lu Yuanming in surprise. It was just an invitation, so why did he change his expression so much.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Lu Yuanming handed the invitation in his hand to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan took it and took a look, it read:
Wei Gong, the Wei clan of Hangzhou, has the audacity to respectfully invite the Prince of Nanchang County to come to the West Lake tonight.
The old man is frightened and has already prepared some thin wine to add fragrance.
I pray that the prince will move his golden feet slightly, come to the small building, taste the lotus seeds of the West Lake, and listen to the wind.
Not very fortunate.
"The Hangzhou Kai family!" Li Xuan's mind immediately flashed the relevant secret files from the past: "Could this Hangzhou Kai family be the last Hangzhou Kai family of the Sixteenth Wuyue family?"
"Indeed!" Yuan Yi took over the conversation and said with a wry smile: "Although the Hangzhou Wei family is the end of the sixteenth generation of Wuyue family, it should not be underestimated. The Wei family comes from the ancient emperor Da Wei's family. In the Spring and Autumn Period, they had already moved to Yuhang is one of the oldest families in Yuhang."
Li Xuan's face gradually became serious. Anyone with the word "old" always has something that is scary and cannot be ignored.
"Kai Lin, the ancestor of the Wei family, was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and co-chaired the unification of weights and measures with Wang Wan." Lu Yuanming looked at Li Xuan. He mentioned the words weights and measures, which was enough for Li Xuan to realize the reputation of the Wei family in the entire Hangzhou.
Li Xuan nodded. The words "weights and measures" were enough for him to show respect to the Wei family.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuanming continued: "After that, the Wei family included Kai Xiao, Wei Chun, Wei Xi and others, all of whom were famous officials in the Han and Three Kingdoms. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, many members of the Wei family were born, so the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen Yi in the south. During the battle, the Wei family was seriously injured.
As a result, in our dynasty, the person with the highest position is the military governor of Yuezhou, Cao Cao, who joined the army to attack Wei, and there are only a few others. It’s just that the Wei family often marries with other clans, especially because the local prestige is quite high..."
"Uncle, let me talk to my nephew." Yu Yong took over the conversation and said with a wry smile: "Hong An, the state professor who was dismissed yesterday, is the son-in-law of the Wei family. In addition, several children of the Wei family also went to greet him yesterday. My lord, I just never imagined that I would suffer such a disaster."
"That's it!" Li Xuan smiled, and then casually placed the invitation on the table nearby without even looking at it.
"Your Majesty doesn't plan to go." Lu Yuanming looked at Li Xuan's reaction in surprise. Z.br>
Li Xuan smiled and nodded and said: "There is no good banquet. People with ulterior motives like this don't care what they do. Moreover, even if someone wants to settle accounts with me, I don't care. Now I just hope that Hangzhou City will be more lively."
"Your Majesty wants to fish!" Yuan Yi immediately guessed what Li Xuan was thinking.
Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Yesterday's incident seems to be just a rash collision of frivolous and dissolute children, but the ambition behind it is mysterious and unpredictable, so we need to be more cautious.
Xiao Wang is about to go to Wuzhou. Who is the last person who wants Xiao Wang to arrive in Wuzhou safely? Sima must also know very well, why should I take such unnecessary risks for an insignificant person, and watch the other person jump back and forth? Jumping, just in time to see who is behind. "
"But, Your Majesty, those students yesterday came from all the big families in Hangzhou, Your Majesty, you still need to be careful!" Yu Yong looked at Li Xuan with some worry, and at the same time, he was also secretly worried about his group of classmates.
"What happened yesterday is nothing at all. Those who are truly capable can have their own families lift all restrictions on their own children. As for those who are incompetent, a moment of silence is not a bad thing." Li Xuan smiled calmly, but the people on the side Lu Yuanming frowned when he heard this.
Li Xuan's words may sound ordinary, but those who truly understand the three flavors understand the murderous intent behind them.
If you are not careful, a young talent will be completely wiped out in two years.
"What the prince said is biased." Yu Yong looked at Li Xuan and said sincerely: "Disciples of Zhouxue, studies are already difficult. In two years, I don't know how many people gave up halfway because of this. I hope the prince will be more considerate. What's more, this Among them, there are still some people who sincerely admire His Majesty’s talent and will go to the dock to greet them that day. I hope His Majesty will consider them more.”
When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but think a little. He has only written one or two poems now. Even if someone admires him, how much can they admire him? But this is a good sign after all...
At this time, Yuan Yi suddenly said: "Your Majesty may not know something. The Wei family has hundreds of ships of various types, transporting silk and satin to various states every day. It must be helpful to Your Majesty's trip to Wuzhou. help."
Li Xuan looked at Yuan Yi in surprise. Seeing a hint of pleading in Yuan Yi's eyes, Li Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "What you all said is true. It seems that I am indeed too harsh. So, I don't know. Could you please ask Brother Yu Xian to invite those innocent students to come to the West Lake tonight... By the way, Uncle Shi, this invitation from the Wei family does not seem to say how many people I can bring to the banquet."
"There is no need for the prince to worry. Since the Wei family invited the prince, he will definitely not be in a stingy place. The prince can bring people there," Lu Yuanming waved his hands angrily and said, "The Wei family also hopes that the prince can bring more relevant people. Let's go together..."
"Then can I go?" A slightly childish voice sounded from the side. When everyone looked, the person who spoke was Lu Xiangxian, who looked like a little adult.
"No, not only you can't go, but even Brother Yu Xian can't go tonight. It's best to return home immediately after informing your classmates. Especially tonight, it's best not to go out again." Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious. .
Amid the surprised gazes of others, Li Xuan turned to look at Yuan Yi on the side, and slightly curved her lips: "This is what I wanted to ask Brother Yuan for help. Brother Yuan, and Brother Zhang, if they can mobilize Some local soldiers are lying in ambush around, presumably they will be able to gain something."
Outside the gate of Lu Mansion, Li Xuan handed over to Lu Yuanming, Yuan Yi, Zhang Chun, Yu Yong, Lu Xiangxian and others one after another, then got on the horse and returned to the inn.
The moment he lowered the car curtain, Li Xuan's eyes flashed from a corner at the end of the street.
[Zong Ling, the true immortal Taoist woman, the innate true seed state of great perfection]
[Xin Jian, the master of Wushengdao Mountain South Hall, the Great Perfection of the Innate True Seed Realm]
His face instantly became serious.
The True Immortal Way has been active in the mountainous areas of Hunan and Jiangxi all year round and preaches in a low-key manner, but its essence is one of the true teachings of the Demonic Cult.
Although the Tianyin Sect is now the leader of the Demon Sect, it was actually a small sect that was only drawn into the Demon Sect during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it did not gradually rise until the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
While other sects were being beaten to pieces because of their struggle with the Tang Dynasty, the Tianyin Sect gradually rose up and became the de facto leader of the Demon Sect, and all branches of the Demon Sect listened to its orders.
Although the True Immortal Way has declined in recent years, it was originally a demon sect that had been dormant for many years and is gradually recovering its strength.
Half of the land of Hunan and Jiangxi is Hongzhou where Li Xuan is located.
The barbarians from Hongzhou Mountain roared up from time to time, and behind the attacks on the prefectures and counties, there were many shadows of the true immortal way.
The You Qian Niu Guards in Li Xuan's mansion had the most dealings with them. Even Li Xuan was once assassinated by a true immortal killer.
But I never thought that the true immortal way would come from the land of Hunan and Jiangxi to the land of Wuyue on the left side of the Yangtze River.
Could it be that this time the Tianyin Sect was in trouble, many branches of the Demon Sect also came to help?
Over the years, various branches of the Demon Sect have been severely punished by the central government, especially the You Qianniu Guards. They are scattered all over the country. In addition to monitoring the clan kings, they are also monitoring the traces of local wealthy families and the Demon Sect's rebellion.
Once something is discovered, there will be a sharp attack immediately, and the other generation does not dare to appear in front of others easily.
Wu Sheng Dao, Li Xuan had a fight with Wu Sheng Dao when he was in Luoyang.
Even Su Sanliang, the deputy head of Wusheng Taoist Luotang, died indirectly at the hands of Li Xuan.
What's more, in Li Xuan's hands now, there is Su Sanliang's daughter Su Lianqiao.
Look, before he even arrived in Wuzhou, the Wushengdao people were already on the move.
Coincidentally, it was time for the people in Hangzhou Prefecture to take action at the same time.
In a pool of stagnant water, you can't see anything. Only when it moves can you know who is a human and who is a ghost.
The land of Hunan and Jiangxi, Shannan Road, these are places very far away from the land of Wuyue.
Did he really come all this way to help the Tianyin Sect win?
The curtains were lowered, and Li Xuan's carriage left quickly.
At the entrance of the Lu Mansion, everyone in the Lu Mansion quickly returned to the house. At this time, Xin Jian and Zong Ling walked out from the corner of the street.
Looking at Li Xuan's leaving figure, neither Xin Jian nor Zong Ling spoke cautiously.
As soon as they turned around, the two of them had disappeared into the vast crowd in the distance.
Under the night, on the shore of the West Lake, there are scattered figures and withered flower boats.
A man in ocher clothes who looked like a butler was pacing back and forth on the lake shore with several of his men.
At this moment, Mr. Qi, wearing a light green robe, came in a small boat with two followers.
"Steward Xi, are you sure King Nanchang is coming? Why hasn't he shown up yet?" Mr. Qi couldn't help but feel anxious.
Now on the big boat in the lake, in addition to the people he had greeted from the beginning, there were also some local celebrities invited by Wei Gong.
Today's banquet was jointly organized by Mr. Qi and the Wei family, but he had never shown his face.
However, he did not expect that the King of Nanchang would invite some of his other classmates to attend tonight's banquet through Yu Yong.
Fortunately, he got the news in advance today, so he was prepared. Otherwise, if the King of Nanchang really succeeded in winning over people's hearts, if he were not careful, he would be stabbed in the back without knowing it.
Therefore, after receiving the news, Mr. Qi quickly sent an invitation to all his classmates to attend a banquet on today's cruise ship to compete for their hearts.
Everything was promised at first, but when he arrived, he discovered that almost all the people attending the meeting tonight were the same people who greeted the King of Nanchang in the dock area yesterday. Apart from that, there were not many other classmates at all.
This made him feel uneasy for a while, and what he didn't expect the most was that even the King of Nanchang was late in the end.
Could it be that he won't come tonight?
When we were on the ship, some people already complained that they should join the King of Nanchang first instead of coming privately.
"Young Master may not know something, but the invitation to the King of Nanchang did not indicate when he would arrive. Therefore, no matter when the King of Nanchang arrives tonight, it is not considered late." Butler Xi replied calmly. Mr. Qi said.
The cold and slanted eyes seemed not to take Mr. Qi into consideration at all.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the street in the distance.
