Chapter 142 The Royal Palace Goes to the Appointment

Li Ke lay on a ** temporarily laid with wooden boards and marching bedding, looking at the broken roof with his arms, feeling quite lonely and sleepless.

"Are these two people going to sit outside for the night?" Li Ke glanced outside and said to himself. Wan'er couldn't help smiling and said, "No matter how smart Qin Mubai is, he can't escape from the palm of Gao Yang's little hand. Which man can refuse a girl who is in love for the first time? This girl has been domineering since she was a child. She doesn't pay attention to anyone except her father and her mother. Unexpectedly, once she is moved, she is also a full little woman, quite cute.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was midnight in a blink of an eye. Li Ke finally felt a little sleepy. Looking out, Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang were still snabling there, with no intention of getting up at all.

"These two are crazy." Li Ke got up and walked to the door and said, "Although the flowers and moon are good, the cold is already strong. When are you two little mandarin ducks going to return to their nests separately?

"Ah... Third brother, aren't you asleep? Disgusting!" Princess Gaoyang shouted anly a few times, and her face was still red, which was indeed a little embarrassing. After all, it's late at night, and it's not appropriate for lonely men and women to stay together. They always have to separate. Is it possible that they still want to...

"Go back and have a rest." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "You must be tired after running around all day. You have to rush back to Puzhou tomorrow. Have a good rest and you will be on your way tomorrow.

"Okay..." Princess Gaoyang nodded reluctantly and said, "Then will you come to see me off tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, I will arrange to drive you and the King of Wu to leave early. Early morning is my busiest time. I have to deal with many things in the army." Qin Mubai smiled apologetically, "So, I can't come to see you off."

"Damn it, why are you stinky men always so busy? There is nothing interesting when you are busy. Princess Gaoyang knocked on Qin Mubai's elbow with a small pink fist and said, "Then you have to go back to Chang'an quickly!" I'll wait for you in Chang'an!"

"Well, I will." Qin Mubai smiled.

"Remember! Go back to Chang'an early. I'll wait for you in Chang'an!"

"At a young age, you can learn from your mother-in-law. Go back to the house. King Wu is waiting for you!"

"I just want it! I'm going to talk to you. Don't hate me, don't hate my mother-in-law!" Princess Gaoyang finally got up and walked backwards towards the house. She looked at Qin Mubai reluctantly without blinking.

"Go ahead!" Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "Go well. Don't fall down again."

"Ouch--"

Before the words fell, Princess Gaoyang stepped on the long cloak and fell to the ground.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled bitterly to help her up and said, "It's cold in the morning, and the cloak will send you. You wear it all the way. But remember not to step on it and fall down again, understand?

"I know! Hee hee!" Princess Gaoyang patted her buttocks happily and said with a smile, "I'm leaving!" You can also go back and rest early. Don't miss me!"

"I definitely don't want to."

"How dare you!"

......

Li Ke's face kept twitching, and finally he couldn't help saying, "Are you numb? Let's go back to rest!"

......

Qin Mubai left the woods, and several hundred-rider guards were still waiting for him to return to the camp together.

"General, just now, Sui Liang sent someone to send a letter and asked the general to go to the palace of Jiangxia for a banquet three days later." A pawn said.

"I know." Qin Mubai thought to himself that it seems that Li Daozong has really invited a lot of people, and even Zhen Suiliang has invited them. Tsui Suiliang and I are both close ministers of the emperor. He "showed" like this this time, and he also intended to show it to the emperor, right?

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no such thing as "birds with good bows" suppressing the founding fathers, which is better than many dynasties. But this does not mean that the emperor is really not afraid of those meritorious elders. It's not because of Li Shimin's achievements, ability and courage, but it's not that he is afraid of being suppressed by anyone. As an emperor, he wants to let his descendants inherit his foundation.

If there is any meritorious official who is as famous as the emperor among the people, it is a bad thing. Who can say whether their descendants will replace them with this?

Therefore, because the emperor wanted to prevent the situation, there was such a thing as Gao Zhenzhu. In this Jiangzhou case, Li Shimin's intention is very obscure, but there are more or less meanings against Li Daozong. Because since Li Yuan rose up, Li Daozong has been active in the Li Tang camp. In terms of merit and limelight, he is not much worse than Li Shimin. Except for a small problem of greed for money, he is almost perfect. In contrast, Li Shimin has a big stain on killing his brother and destroying his brother to force his father to abdicate, and he is greedy for women to take his wife and sister-in-law, which is not as good as Li Daozong in terms of personal morality.

Perhaps in Li Shimin's heart, this perfect meritorious royal brother has always been a heart disease for him. But the two of them have always had a very good relationship. Li Daozong has always been the first to see Li Shimin, and he is hard-working, low-key and cautious, and has no intention of being proud of his achievements.

But the more he is like this, the more uneasy Li Shimin is.

Because he is so perfect that he is much more respected than the emperor.

It was not easy to find out about his greed for money, so Li Shimin came out to find out. I just don't know how these two people compete in private, but Qin Mubai is very interested.

At dawn the next day, Li Ke and Princess Gao Yang set off in an inconspicuous old carriage. Before the carriage drove away from the official road and turned the big bend to leave the territory of Jishan County, Princess Gaoyang had been holding the curtain of the rear carriage with her small hand and staring in a daze.

"Don't look. He is the busiest in the morning and won't come to see you off." Li Ke advised her, "Look at you, your hands are frozen red."

"I know he won't come, but I just want to see it..." Princess Gaoyang bit her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Third brother, I really can't bear to leave here!" Although it was my first time to come here, I felt that it was very kind and left my best memories. If possible, I will come here to build a house in the future and live here for the rest of my life!"

"Don't be silly. Sit back and see how frozen you are!" Li Ke hurried to pull her.

"I don't! I'm going to look at it like this..."

......

Three days later, early morning.

After finishing the military affairs, Qin Mubai returned to the back account and changed into a neat long-distance travel suit, with a long sword, a bold cloak, a golden crown tied with a waist hanging jade ultimatum, and turned into a handsome handsome man.

"General, Mr. Tiao is here." The pawn came to inform.

Qin Mubai greeted him out, and Qi Suiliang smiled from afar: "General Qin, you will be more elegant in a few days! Such a beautiful man is quite like the style of a Confucian general of Zhou Gongjin of the Three Kingdoms!"

"Haha, Mr. Zhen is so funny! It's rare to relax after days of busy days. Let's go to Jinzhou quickly! Take the carriage, and I guess you will arrive at noon. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go! I'm busy these days. It's easy to go to the palace for a banquet!" Zhen Suiliang also smiled and boarded the carriage with Qin Mubai.

The carriage went to Jinzhou, and Qin Mubai had a chat with Qi Suiliang in the car.

Zui Suiliang was born in an authentic scholarly family. He is elegant, knowledgeable, knowledgeable and talented. Talking to it is like drinking a bottle of mellow wine, and he is not intoxicated.

After chatting about some poems and words, Zui Liang said casually, "Yesterday, I was in the government office of Jiangzhou and suddenly received a secret envoy from Chang'an."

"Secret messenger?" Qin Mubai asked curiously, "Where did the secret envoy come from?"

"In the palace." Zhen Suiliang smiled mysteriously and only said two words.

Qin Mubai frowned slightly and asked, "Does the emperor have the will to do it?"

"No. It was not sent by the emperor. Zhen Suiliang smiled even more mysteriously.

"Who else can that be?"

In fact, a person has already flashed in Qin Mubai's heart - Yin Defei!

Princess Gaoyang must be missing. She sent someone to look for her! If it was someone sent by the emperor, he would not be so low-key and careful. Maybe he would take people directly!

"Princess Gaoyang is missing." Zhen Suiliang said, "Her mother's concubine was in a hurry to send people everywhere to look for it. Of course, she secretly sent people to search secretly and did not dare to make a big deal. She was worried that Princess Gaoyang would go north to her hometown in Bingzhou and hide in her uncle's house. Therefore, I sent someone to ask me about the news that Princess Gaoyang passed through Jiangzhou.

"So it is..." Qin Mubai nodded slightly and thought to himself: It seems that Yin Defei is quite cautious. She must have suspected that Princess Gaoyang came directly to me, but she only went to Zhen Suiliang to spy on the news under the guise. She was not worried about Princess Gaoyang meeting me, but she was worried that things would be discovered by Zhen Suiliang and tell the emperor... This Yin Defei is smart!

"Brother Mu Bai has been busy with military affairs, and he must have never seen Princess Gaoyang, right?" Qi Suiliang asked.

Qin Mubai couldn't help smiling in his heart, and Zui Suiliang's question was interesting. The word "ye" was added to the words. It is clearly to show me that he has not "seen" Princess Gaoyang. Perhaps he suspected that Princess Gaoyang did come to see me, and even there might be real evidence in his hand. He knew that I had seen the princess, but he intended to tell me like this, but he had the intention of not telling the emperor.

"Of course I haven't seen it." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "How can Princess Jin Zhiyuye of Gaoyang come to the barracks full of rough men?"

"It's true. I didn't hear about the princess in Jiangzhou, so I talked back to the secret envoy yesterday, and the secret envoy went north to Bingzhou to continue to look for her. Qi Suiliang said casually, and didn't mention why Princess Gaoyang disappeared.

Both of them are tacit and no longer mention this matter.

Qin Mubai vaguely felt that Zhen Suiliang was deliberately "showing goodwill" to himself, or there was a little meaning that "I caught you, but I didn't betray you. This time you owe me".

"It's all like this for officials! Try not to offend if you can. Zhen Suiliang doesn't want to offend me, nor does he want to offend Yin Defei, let alone get involved in any disputes within the royal family. Just think of me as I owe him a favor, and I will find a chance to pay him back in the future. In this way, don't you have one more friend? Qin Mubai said in his heart.
