Chapter 585: Become a guest in a blink of an eye

Living in a small building is a very pleasant thing. This is an octagonal building with three floors. Each room has an outward-facing window. The windows are exquisite and carved. The overall color of the building is bronze. There are many rockeries and ponds throughout the garden. The rockery is made of bluestones, and a clear spring flows into a medium-sized lake. This lake was dug manually. There are lotuses and leaves on the lake. It was late autumn, and the air was filled with a desolate smell of falling leaves. Green foam floats on the water. At this time, there was also the sound of frogs croaking. The croaking sound is unsettling. Living in the garden at this time, I feel particularly quiet. Don't know what's going to happen outside.

This kind of tranquility makes people even more uneasy. The sound of frogs croaking comes and goes. When you scream, you feel confused, and when you calm down, you feel a sense of fear that a powerful enemy is about to come.

After a while, two young men came and invited Li Kaiyang and his two maids to the banquet hall of the mansion. The prince was going to treat them to a meal. In fact, Li Kaiyang knew that this was the prince and wanted to hear his opinion and see how he dealt with the predicament at hand. Li Kaiyang asked the two boys, "Are there any officers and soldiers outside who are besieging us?" The boy shook his head and said . "There are no officers and soldiers outside anymore, but there are still people snooping around waiting for an opportunity."

They went downstairs while talking, and the sound of crisp footsteps spread far away. This is a wooden staircase. The sounds of men going downstairs are different from those of women. The footsteps of Li Kaiyang and others are heavy and steady, while the footsteps of Xiaolan and Gu Xueying are crisp and elegant. When they arrived below, several people followed the two boys, walking along a section of bluestone road, passing through flowers and crossing willows, towards the center of the palace.

What a big garden. Gu Xueying couldn't help but sigh. She entered the garden quietly through the back door, and went directly into the cell where they were held. She didn't even have time to take a look here. Today, she was lucky enough to follow this young man through the most prosperous place in the palace. section of road. Walk through their beautiful garden. It is indeed a blessing in life to have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden. Although the flowers in the garden are withered at this time, the chrysanthemums are still in full bloom. Various flowers that cannot be named are still vying for beauty. The breeze blows on my face and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant. Fallen leaves fluttered under the willow trees. A few strands of Gu Xueying's silk strands swayed in the wind, and he and Li Kaiyang got closer. A strand of hair floated up, covering Li Kaiyang's eyes. Li Kaiyang touched her soft hair. Smelling the feminine body fragrance it emits, I am intoxicated. Take a stroll in this decaying garden. It makes people feel a sense of desolation and sadness. The same goes for fallen leaves. You don’t know autumn is gone when the leaves fall, and you don’t know it’s winter until it snows. Before they knew it, they had arrived at Zuifang Pavilion, where the prince entertained distinguished guests. Leading them here showed how earnest the prince was.

The prince has already been waiting in the hall. This magnificent pavilion is called Zui Fangge because it was first built in a square shape with octagonal eaves and high ceilings. Yunlong Panzhu, eight in a row, is arranged in front of the building. The carved beams and painted buildings are so magnificent. The two red-lacquered doors opened, and the room was filled with jewels. The maids lined up on both sides, all wearing flowing clothes. Beautiful beauties as beautiful as flowers were carrying plates in rows. Getting ready to entertain guests entering the house. The prince personally greeted him with a smile on his face. His gray beard swayed in the wind. This is really an old man with white hair and a childlike face, and his face is still very smooth. If you hadn't seen his white beard, you would have thought he was a middle-aged man, but in fact he was already over sixty years old, and he was already quite old in that era. , the old prince waved them inside. He led the way and gave the best seat to Li Kaiyang. He himself sat in the middle. There are several tables on the left and right sides. They are all the retainers of this government. Look at the retainers on both sides who are all elderly. They may have followed the prince for many years, including the master in the mansion. He is also doing it. Li Kaiyang knows about him, but the two of them have not spoken. The one who hesitated most for a while was Li Kaiyang, who didn't know how to arrange Gu Xueying and Xiaolan. If you let them sit with you, you can't explain it to people of this era, so you have to let them stand behind you. Xiaolan glanced at Li Kaiyang, meaning you are quite good, you have become a big master, what about us? ? I have become your maid, you are eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, while we are just drooling behind you.

Gu Xueying didn't think so. She was willing to be a maid, standing behind him with her hands folded, as graceful as the Lingbo fairy, as beautiful as a fairy. With these two beauties beside her, they are the most conspicuous in the entire banquet hall. Li Kaiyang thought to himself, how could I, He De, be so lucky to have such two beautiful bodyguards? It can be said that everyone was shocked. Behind everyone were men, but behind him were two beauties.

The maid and the old woman who had prepared the meal began to bring the plates. Li Kaiyang lowered his head and saw the delicacies from the mountains and seas. There were all kinds of food, which was enough to satisfy his appetite. The prince picked up the wine glass and took out a jar of Shaoxing daughter's red eyes that he had stored for many years. He divided the wine into fifteen pots and ordered them to be distributed one pot at a time on each table. The prince first picked up the wine glass and said to everyone. "Today I am hosting a meal for all the retainers. Li Kaiyang, Mr. Li, is a great hero in my mansion. A few days ago, I arrested him and locked him up for a period of time because of a misunderstanding. You must also be here. I know, but after understanding it later, I found that the seal was definitely not stolen by him, but by someone else. Mr. Li explained the situation to me and also expressed his intentions. He wanted to help our palace get out of the current predicament. When I thought about it, I can't coddle him anymore. Although I haven't found the real criminal yet, I can't coddle a good person, so I invited him out and arranged him to live in the small building. Today I set up a banquet mainly to listen to everyone's opinions. Right now You also know that the enemy is surrounding us and is threatening to overwhelm the city with heavy troops. Fortunately, we have a team of troops in our house to prevent them from easily succeeding. Although they have retreated now, I expect they will come back soon. , so all retainers, we cannot take it lightly. You are all my good brothers. You have helped me guard the palace for so many years. This is also a treasure common to everyone. We have a clear conscience and are worthy of the emperor. We cannot let them arrest us for this small matter. They just want to make a big fuss about our rights and wrongs. Now their behavior has ulterior motives. Even the emperor cannot send heavy troops to encircle and suppress a prince like this. So I am here today to ask everyone to think of a countermeasure, how to prevent them from To retreat from the battle and completely give up on this idea?"

One of the retainers present slapped the table and stood up. He first bowed to the prince and said to everyone's surprise. "The King of Futai is a robber. Even if I risk my life, I have to keep the palace and not let him invade the prince's hair. If he dares to attack again, I, Liu Dadao, will be the first to charge. Although I am not the best in the world in terms of martial arts, but I am the best in risking my life. No matter how many people there are, I will just kill my way out. This man is about fifty years old. He is considered an elder at that time. Li Kaiyang saw that he was a bit tough when speaking. He was just a reckless man. If recklessness could solve the problem, people would not be able to use their ingenuity. However, being reckless would not have any effect and would only make things more complicated. Worse.

A scribe next to him stood up and said. "Brother Liu Yidao, please calm down. Your mood is the same as ours. We all want to protect the prince and prevent him from suffering this unjust injustice. But after all, we are besieged in the palace and he holds the military power. Lord Wang Tiankai is not an ordinary person. The prime minister is his old father-in-law. He has ulterior motives in sending him to Crescent Island. They know that this island is isolated overseas. There are always those who are disobedient and want to draw a clear line with the imperial court. , is an independent country, so Long Live is careful at all times and constantly sends people to deny the predecessors and attack us. In fact, we are not the first people to be overthrown by them. There is also an official who was overthrown above us. That is the credit of the prince. , As for what mistake the officer made, the prince does not know, anyway, it is what the Holy Spirit wants to do, and we may become another victim, so the problem before us is more difficult. This is not the occasion for reasoning. He has reason to I also want to deal with you. I am just afraid that if you become stronger and stronger here, it is time to change someone. What this scribe said makes sense. Although the words are a bit vulgar, they are not subtle, and the prince is not surprised.

He twirled his long beard and looked at everyone who spoke with kind eyes. Everyone present expressed their opinions and expressed their attitudes and positions. Li Kaiyang heard it clearly. He also knew that the current situation of the palace was rather embarrassing, especially for the prince. It seemed that the emperor had already intended to replace him, fearing that he would become the real king here. It seemed that this Lord Wang was just a knife in the emperor's hand. He was going to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and get rid of the prince with the help of Lord Futai's knife. Fortunately, he didn't see any flaws in the dragon bed last time. If he had found flaws based on that incident, the prince would have been dismissed and investigated. It's just that the emperor hasn't broken up with the prince yet. Of the two people in Hefutai, one plays the red face and the other plays the bad side. Naturally, the one who was trying to make a fool of himself was the person in charge of the palace. Without the support of the emperor, he would not have dared to openly confront the prince.

The prince wanted to hear Li Kaiyang's opinion, so he turned his attention to him. Li Kaiyang quickly stood up and said. "My lord, this is what I think. I have seen the scene of a large number of his troops leaving outside. Although what I saw was the scene of leaving from here, I know that there are tens of thousands of these people at least. How can we in our mansion How many people are there? We are surrounded by water, and we will be trapped to death. If he wants to attack, we can't stop him. My current opinion is that we have a palace, and he has a palace. Can we attack? If we go into his house and create some trouble for him, causing them to become a mess, he won't be in the mood to take care of us, and even let him start internal strife, stir up chaos, make his family restless, and make him not in the mood to live with us. If we fight, the problem will be solved naturally. If the emperor doesn't tear his face to you, then he won't tear his face to pieces."

The prince twirled his beard and beard with his hands. He looked at Li Kaiyang with an expression of appreciation, wanting to hear what he would say next. Li Kaiyang sighed and said. "I just want to leave here quickly to save a friend of mine, because he is sick and needs a white turtle shell, so I want to say goodbye to the prince quickly and go save my friend. Now he has got the holy water, although there is no white turtle shell. Shell, but drinking the holy water from the mountain also played a big role, so I have no worries. Now I want to help the prince wholeheartedly, and the soldiers will block the water and cover it with the earth. If they come to attack, I will go into battle to help you kill the enemy. If they don’t attack, we will use this to break into his mansion and cause him some trouble.”

After Li Kaiyang finished speaking, he looked at everyone's eyes to see what the master said. The prince first raised his thumb and was full of praise. He said: "Master Li, what you said is very good, but I am very worried about whoever goes to the mansion opposite to cause trouble for him. There must be a particularly shrewd and capable person. And someone who adapts to circumstances.”

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and for a while no one dared to stand up and confirm that I would go. Li Kaiyang picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, then added a piece of meat and wolfed it down into his stomach. Then he put his chopsticks up, pointed at his chest with his thumb and said, "I'll go, Your Majesty, they don't know me." When I go to their house, I will create some trouble for this man, but when I think of his house, I still need the prince’s help.”

The prince quickly nodded and said: "Of course, of course, okay, okay, I don't worry about you going." Then the prince's face was filled with a happy smile, taking care of everyone, eating and drinking quickly, Li Kaiyang was not polite, he shook off Zhanzi started to eat and chew. As soon as the people on both sides heard about this incident, they looked forward to his triumphant return, so they were in the mood to eat. The two girls behind him watched others eat, and how could they feel uncomfortable about it? Come on. Li Kaiyang was not polite. He waved his hand and said to Gu Xueying and Xiaolan: "Come on, come on, you are my personal maids. The prince is giving me this treatment today, so you can enjoy the blessings with me."

Xiaolan and Gu Xueying took a look and saw that Li Kaiyang let them eat. Why was he so polite? So he sat down, picked up the chopsticks on Li Kaiyang's left and right, and started eating. When the prince saw this, he just smiled innocently. Some of the people around him stared, some despised, some disapproved, and some laughed. Laugh along. In short, most people are against it. These two little girls are too unruly. How dare they sit and eat with the master. It was in this complicated environment that Gu Xueying and Xiaolan had a delicious meal. They wiped the grease from their mouths. He said comfortably, "I'm full. Kaiyang, you eat slowly, the two of us are still standing behind you, otherwise you look at those pairs of eyes. It looks like we have been eaten."
