Dingbeihou held the sword in one hand and pushed open the door with the other.
Look at a man in black standing in the pavilion in the yard with his back to him.
He squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then asked: "I wonder why your Excellency came to visit late at night?"
Li Yunze turned around and cupped his hands towards him, "Li Yunze, I have admired the Marquis for a long time. I happened to pass by the Marquis of Dingbei tonight, and I came to ask for a cup of tea from the Marquis. Is it convenient for the Marquis?"
When Marquis Dingbei heard his self-introduction, his eyes suddenly shrank. Then he looked around again, fearing that the people guarding outside would find him.
Li Yunze noticed his expression and said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't be nervous, there are only two of us in the courtyard, no one knows that I am here."
Only then did Dingbei Hou look at him. The boy in front of him must be thirteen years old! He doesn't look like the late emperor at all, but looks like his grandfather Lin Shangshu when he was young.
He has a tall and straight posture, an elegant walk, and a face as hard as a knife carved out of it.
Two sword-shaped eyebrows slant into the temples, and a pair of phoenix eyes look for power.
The bridge of his nose is high, his thin lips are tightly closed, and he is wearing a black night clothes on his slender body, which makes him look indescribably free and easy.
The whole person exuded a kingly aura that shocked the world, and there was a reassuring smile on his handsome face.
Marquis Dingbei put away the sword in his hand, respectfully welcomed him into the room, and then closed the door again.
After Li Yunze sat down, he bowed to him carefully and said, "I, Shen Chengzhang, pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Master Marquis, please get up quickly." Li Yunze held his arms with both hands before he knelt down.
Dingbeihou personally made him a pot of tea.
Li Yunze picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Good tea."
Dingbeihou watched him sitting there enjoying the pot of Pu'er.
Just like he said just now, he just stopped by to ask for a cup of tea tonight.
The evaluation of him in my heart was much higher, for he was only a teenager. It's such a bad situation again.
You can still be so calm in front of yourself.
Such a city cannot be compared to the brothers Li Yunkai and Li Yunhao.
And his martial arts must be unfathomable.
Now the entire Dingbei Hou Mansion is surrounded by martial arts masters and dead men invited by Li Yunhao.
His Royal Highness is able to come in without disturbing anyone. There are probably not many people in the world with such ability.
Marquis Dingbei sighed in his heart, he was truly worthy of being a child brought up by Master Wuchen. He was so powerful in every aspect that people had to accept him.
Seeing that the prince was sitting there silently, he was silent for a while, and then asked respectfully: "I wonder what orders your highness has when you come here in person today?"
Li Yunze then put down his tea cup and said calmly: "Master Hou has been in the capital for a long time. When are you going to return to Anyang County? I can go and see you off."
Marquis Dingbei was shocked and asked hesitantly: "When does Your Highness think it is appropriate for me to go back?"
Li Yunze sighed, "The entire Yunchao Kingdom is experiencing frequent wars, and the Tatars in the north are also ready to take action. The people are living in dire straits, and now is the time when we need the Marquis.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Anyang County are also looking forward to the early return of the Marquis. "
He looked directly at Dingbei Hou and said very seriously: "I think the sooner the better. It is best to take the family members in the mansion with us."
Dingbeihou looked at him with admiration again.
Without thinking too much, he knelt on the ground and performed the kneeling ceremony that he had not had time to perform again seriously.
"In compliance with His Highness's instructions, I will set off for the north in the next two days."
Li Yunze also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If he cannot convince Dingbeihou this time, it will be very difficult and take longer for him to regain his kingdom.
But he didn't show any emotion on his face, he just nodded calmly.
He helped Marquis Dingbei up and asked with concern: "Master Marquis, do you need my help to take you out?"
"I dare not trouble Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The Marquis of Dingbei cupped his hands and told him frankly, "I still have some of my subordinates in the city."
Li Yunze had expected it a long time ago. How could a smart man like Dingbeihou not leave himself a way out?
"Then I wish the Marquis a safe journey. I will send a big gift to the Marquis and the soldiers in the north after a while."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Dingbeihou was a little surprised. The prince grew up in the temple with Master Wuchen. What kind of gift could he give them?
Thinking of his uncle Lin Zixian. Although on the surface he was a playboy who flirted with cats and dogs, he knew it was definitely not that simple.
The child has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and was taught well by his father. Ruining his reputation like that must be to protect himself.
All that needs to be said is said. Li Yunze glanced at the hourglass next to him. More than half an hour had passed.
He was afraid that Ye Yutong would be worried, so he stood up and left, "Master Marquis, I will take the first step."
Dingbeihou immediately stood up to see him off.
Li Yunze waved his hand towards him, "Master Hou, stay here, there are many people outside. Just don't go out. If someone discovers you, it won't be so easy for you to leave."
Dingbeihou stopped, clasped his fists and said, "Consider your Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Yunze walked to the door and turned around with a smile: "Master Hou, I will go to Dongyang County in a while. I wonder if you have anything to say to Magistrate Qin?"
Marquis Dingbei pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I happen to have something to tell Chang'an. Please help me bring a letter to you, Your Highness."
Since His Highness the Crown Prince asked, even if nothing happened, he still had to find some reason to ask the Crown Prince to help him go.
Li Yunze got the letter and left the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
He visited Beihou Mansion tonight, and it can be said that he came and went without a trace.
Among the many experts Li Yunhao arranged here, no one noticed him.
Ye Yutong and his two brothers were extremely anxious in the space. It was promised for half an hour, but now it's almost an hour and I still haven't come back.
But the three of them didn't dare to go out.
These little rookies who are just learning martial arts are like ants in front of those martial arts masters.
It's better to stay there obediently. If someone gets caught, Ping An will have to find a way to save them.
It wasn't until he saw Li Yunze that Ye Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. Bring him in immediately.
Dingbeihou was also discussing retreat with two of his men.
Dingbeihou Mansion has a tunnel leading to the outside of the city, so it is easy to get out of the city. He was afraid that when the Li Yunkai brothers found out, they would send people to hunt him down.
From here to Anyang County, it takes a month at the fastest. He still has a family, so he must find a safe way.
"Brother, why don't you send two people back to Anyang County first and ask Xue Sanduo to bring more people to respond."
"No, we can't let Dongyang County know about this, so as not to alert others." Dingbeihou immediately rejected his brother's idea.
Li Yunkai's second uncle is now in charge of the north. They wanted to go over and catch him off guard, and it was best to take back the military power without using force.
He was under house arrest in the capital, not because he couldn't leave, but because he didn't want to escape back to the North. I don't even want to be accused of rebellion.
He was also waiting for someone to come to him.
The two brothers Li Yunkai and Li Yunhao are cruel and ruthless. If they become emperors, the people of the world will suffer terribly.
So he was waiting for Yun Chaoguo's only hope, and that person was His Highness the Crown Prince.
Now it seems that these months of waiting are worth it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is brave and resourceful at a young age and will definitely be a wise king in the future.
The favor he owed Shangshu Lin could be repaid this time.
