Chapter 186 Chang'an Reunion

Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes blankly and said, "Third brother, Mu Bai, what kind of riddle are you playing? Can you make it clear?"

"Little sister, didn't you just say you wanted to go to Cuju? Why don't you prepare first? I'll talk to Mu Bai about something and come later. Li Ke said.

"Oh... you said those 'men's big things' again, right? I'm too lazy to listen. I have a headache. Princess Gaoyang got up and walked out. As she walked, she repeatedly said, "Mubai, don't go, don't sneak away!" Otherwise, I will go to your house and catch you!"

"No." Qin Mubai smiled.

When Princess Gaoyang left, Li Ke shook his head and said, "Why is this girl so possessed by you?"

"Your Highness, let's get down to business!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Uh-huh..." Li Ke nodded and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about it on my way back from Jiangzhou with my little sister. Paper can't wrap fire. The father will eventually know about you and your little sister. In this way, you, a hundred riders, have come to the end, and you should no longer stay in the palace. So once when I had a private chat with my father, I took the initiative to say that I wanted to hire you to go to Xiangzhou with me as my left and right deputy to govern the place. Unsurprisingly, my father readily agreed.

Qin Mubai frowned in surprise: "Have you taken the initiative to make this request to the emperor?"

"Yes." Li Ke said, "Actually, I also had half a tentative meaning at that time, but my father's promise was so straightforward. As if it were in the past, I would definitely not even dare to open my mouth. Even if I opened my mouth, my father would definitely not agree. Baiqishi, that's not an ordinary position, and it can't be replaced by any person. A few months after we left Jiangzhou, my father asked Li Junxian to take over Baiqi and operated for a long time, which also laid the groundwork for this move early. Well, you should know, right?

"I know." Qin Mubai nodded, "There have been signs of things for a long time, so I don't feel strange, and I don't want to give up. It's good to leave Chang'an now. I'm happy to go to Xiangzhou with you.

"Since you have answered, I will go to the palace tomorrow to make a formal request to my father." Li Ke said, "My father also knows that there is a shortage of Major General Ding in my palace, especially a lack of unique generals. When I went to Xiangzhou to serve as an assassin, I must have someone around me who can govern the army and lead the army. When you get to the place, it is the assassin who governs the people's livelihood and folds the capital to govern the military affairs. The two complement each other. I'm going to ask my father to give him the title of captain of Xiangzhou Prefecture. What do you think?

At the end, Li Ke added: "Xiangzhou is Shangzhou Shangfu, and the lieutenant is in the upper level of the fourth grade, which is slightly higher than your current title."

"The title doesn't matter." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Okay! If the emperor agrees, I would be happy to be this lieutenant!"

"Ha ha!" Li Ke smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this folding captain. Xiangzhou used to be the governor's office. During the Zhenguan period, it was changed to the Shangzhou government. It has a population of more than 50,000 in seven counties under its jurisdiction, and it is thousands of miles away. The soldiers and horses in this area are under your command. Although there are only more than 2,000 people in the perennial government of Xiangzhou Prefecture, the power in your hands is not small, at least much greater than this hundred-rider!"

"I know this." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, and thought to his heart: If you say it more clearly, isn't it just an earth overlord? In the government military system implemented in the Tang Dynasty, there are many prefectures as units in local areas, which is equivalent to a military sub-district. The lieutenant Zhe Chong is equivalent to the commander of the military sub-district.

In this way, I'm as old as my father in my previous life! Moreover, in Xiangzhou, the emperor can toss around as much as he likes. It's better than doing something casually in the capital and just staring at it with thousands of pairs of eyes. How tired it is!

Well, Earth Overlord, a promising career!

Immediately, Li Ke took the four pens of the study and played it on the table. After writing, he asked Qin Mubai to look at it for a while, and he was relieved after the agreement. The two of them just arrived in the back garden and played Cuju with Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Gaoyang is happy. I have been away from the palace for several days. I thought I could be with Qin Mubai every day, but it was difficult to get what I wanted. Today, I finally had the opportunity to play with him. Princess Gaoyang felt like a child's Spring Festival, and she was in a good mood.

After playing for a while, Princess Gaoyang was already sweaty, but she was still shouting happily to continue. On a whim, she kicked the ball far away with a coquettish kick, and then clapped her hands and giggled: "I won, I won!" Look, I'm playing high and far!"

The ball fell on the edge of the round arch in the backyard. The maidservant was waiting to run to pick it up, but unexpectedly, a man came in from the round arch, picked up the colored ball and laughed.

"Oh, who is it?" Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes puzzledly, "It's so familiar!

"King of Jiangxia!"

"Uncle?!"

Li Ke and Qin Mubai shouted out.

"Wow, is it Uncle Jiangxia? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I almost don't recognize you..." Princess Gao Yang whispered.

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, dressed in a purple-collar gold robe, wore a golden cicada Sanliang Jinxian crown, wore a long sword and hung a jade ultimatum, held the ball in his hand, and came over with a smile: "It's good! Gao Yang's little girl doesn't come to act coquettish when she sees her uncle. Isn't she not seen her for a few years and doesn't know me?

"Wow, it's really Uncle! Hee hee!" Princess Gaoyang ran over with a smile and jumped up to grab the ball in his hand. Li Daozong raised his hand and raised the ball to her. He laughed and said, "If you don't call me obediently, I won't return it to you!"

"Hey, hey hey!" Princess Gaoyang suddenly laughed badly and scratched Li Daozong's waist and ribs. Li Daozong laughed and dodged, threw the ball to Princess Gaoyang, and scolded, "You ghost girl, you are really big or small!" He didn't say hello to me and tickled me!"

Li Ke and Qin Mubai both laughed. Princess Gaoyang took the ball back and smiled proudly and said, "Haha, I'm afraid few people in the world know that the most afraid of the grand marshal of the King of Jiangxia is to tickle!"

"Well, Gao Yang has to be polite." Li Ke smiled and came forward to pay a visit with Qin Mubai.

"Well, you don't have to be polite. It's just an ordinary walk. What a coincidence, Mu Bai is also here!" Li Daozong nodded to him with a smile.

"When the prince arrives in the capital, he doesn't know in advance, so it's easy to welcome him." Qin Mubai said.

"Just arrived." Li Daozong said, "I'm so impatient that I can't follow him. I rode into the capital first. The family and his family are still behind. After wandering around for a while, I unconsciously walked to the King of Wu's Mansion, so I came in to have a look. I heard that you are in Cuju, so I didn't invite you!"

Li Ke smiled and said, "I've heard that Uncle Cuju's kung fu is rare in the world for a long time. Why don't you show your hand today and let me open my eyes?"

"No, no." Li Daozong waved his hand with a smile, "After riding a horse all day, my legs are a little numb. Why don't you arrange a banquet? When will you wait?

"Haha, it's my little nephew who was rude! Uncle, please!" Li Ke laughed and invited Li Daozong to have a banquet with Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Gaoyang naturally took Qin Mubai's elbow. While playing the ball, she said with a smile, "Among so many uncles, I like King Jiangxia the most! This little old man is the most interesting!"

"Hmm?" Li Daozong was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Haha! Gao Yang, am I old? It seems that I am one or two years younger than your father!"

"Huh, that's it! You are the little old man!" Princess Gaoyang snorted unconvincedly.

"Okay, don't be rude to the prince." Qin Mubai said.

Princess Gaoyang vomited her tongue and put on a grimace at Li Daozong, and smiled happily.

"Are you so good? Mu Bai, you are good at it. Pack up this little fierce horse obediently, haha!" Li Daozong laughed loudly.

"I hate it! You are the horse!" Princess Gaoyang blushed and hurriedly let go of her hand.

"Haha, uncle, why do you have to fight like this when you meet Gao Yang, just like a few years ago?" Li Ke smiled and said, "Please serve tea in the main hall!"

"Okay, let's go!" Li Daozong waved his hand and strode forward.

"Hey hey!" Princess Gaoyang laughed in a low voice and said, "Mubai, the king of Jiangxia is very good and has a good temper. No matter how much I tease him, he won't be annoyed. It's much more interesting than my father!"

"You bully good and fear evil!"

"Hmm - scold me, ignore you!" Princess Gaoyang stuck out her tongue and made a grimace again and ran forward.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled. This girl is really easy to be happy, and she is still a child.

Soon after, the Wuwang Mansion held a banquet, and the four of them sat down to have a feast.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Daozong laughed happily and said, "It's really good! Chang'an still makes me feel so kind! This time I left Jinzhou and returned to Chang'an for leisure, I want to enjoy it. Li Ke, Qin Mubai, you two take turns to invite me to dinner! I will definitely have a good face!"

"Ge, uncle, you are so thick-skinned!" Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, "How could you force others to treat you to dinner?"

"Haha! I don't know how many people in Chang'an are crying and begging to invite me to dinner, but I still don't pay attention to it!" Li Daozong smiled and said, "You little girl, what do you know!"

"What? Me, my little ass girl?" Princess Gaoyang suddenly became anxious and shouted, "I'm an adult!" I, I want to..."

"What do you want? Are you going to get married?" Li Daozong smiled and said, "Look at your stunned little appearance, you are still a child. Is it possible to be a woman and a mother?"

"Wow... I'm so pissed off!" Princess Gaoyang was ashamed and annoyed, and her face turned red.

A man burst into laughter, and Princess Gaoyang was even more embarrassed. She pulled Qin Mubai's sleeve and begged for help, "Mubai, just watch your uncle bully me. Can you say something for me?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "How can I help? I can't beat him, and I can't even drink.

"Woo-hoo... I'm going to ignore you! Get together and bully me!" Princess Gaoyang hummed for a while and buried her head to eat. She really ignored the three men.

"This little girl is still a childish, just like a few years ago!" Li Daozong smiled a few times and said, "You all come to my house tomorrow!"

"Uncle has an order, don't dare not diso obey." Li Ke agreed, and Qin Mubai naturally would not have any other opinions.

Li Daozong looked at Qin Mubai again and asked, "Mubai, has Li Jing accepted you as an apprentice?"

"No." Qin Mubai said, "But he gave me a military book."

Li Ke was shocked and said, "Is there anything like this?"

"Well, I haven't had time to tell you about what happened today and yesterday." Qin Mubai said, "The emperor asked me if I would like to worship Li Jing as my teacher. He was willing to introduce him. Of course I would. So I invited my father to visit Wei Gongfu together, but he did not promise to accept me as an apprentice, but only passed on half of the Jade Account Sutra.

"Jade Account Sutra?" Li Daozong raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Old Beard is really generous this time! I have heard for a long time that he has been writing a military book in the past few years, collecting the essence of his life's military efforts. After hearing this, his disciple Hou Junji took the initiative to ask him for this military book, and he also refused. I didn't expect it to be so generous to you this time!"

"Is there such a thing? I didn't know before..." Qin Mubai said in surprise.

"Ha ha, the old beard is as wise as the sea, and there is a tacit understanding between him and the emperor. There must be a reason for him to do anything." Li Daozong said, "Since you have got such a treasure, let's study hard and strive for progress!"

"That's natural."

Li Daozong looked at Qin Mubai and smiled meaningfully, and said seriously as if jokingly, "Qin Mubai, you really have a bright future!"

"Uh... Where did the prince start with this?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Haha, it will be known in the future. Why do you need to break it now?" Li Daozong laughed and said, "Come on, have a good drink!" Today, I only talk about private affairs, not about national politics!"

......

After the banquet, Li Daozong, who was seven or eight minutes drunk, stayed in the Wu Wangfu to rest. It's getting late, and Qin Mubai is going to leave.

Princess Gaoyang reluctantly grabbed his robe and refused to let him go. She hummed with a sad face, "It's only been a while, and I'm leaving again. You won't accompany me."

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "So many people are looking at it. They are neither ashamed. Let it go. I'm busy these days. I'll come to see you tomorrow.

"Why don't you clean up your house and get me a room, hey hey!" Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, "In that case, it will be easy for me to see you."

Cohabitation?

This word popped up in Qin Mubai's mind and immediately smiled: "Don't be stupid. Before you get married with me, you live in my house and let your father or outsiders know. What do you think? To be honest, you live in your third brother's house. If I have time, I will come to accompany you more often.

"Where do you think..." Princess Gaoyang was also blushing with shame and said, "Then can you take me to hunt tomorrow? I heard that... You have taken Mei Niang to hunt, but you didn't take me, hum!"

Qin Mubai shook his head with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll take you tomorrow. I didn't expect you to be very jealous, and you are also well-informed!"

"Well, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it!" Princess Gaoyang said anly, "I know a lot!"

"Isn't it your third brother selling friends for glory? That's all. I'm convinced by your brothers and sisters." Qin Mubai smiled helplessly and said, "Well, don't make it look like life and death. I'll come to accompany you tomorrow when I'm free and take you to hunt, OK?"

"Oh, Keyi?" Princess Gaoyang blinked blankly, "What do you mean?"

"Well, this..." Qin Mubai lost his mouth for a moment and couldn't help laughing. "It means 'good', 'kay' and 'can'."

"Then 'Wo Keyi' is 'Wo Keyi'!" Princess Gaoyang giggled and said, "This is the nonsense of which state? It's really funny! All right, go ahead. I'll wait for you in the house tomorrow! I still have a lot to say to you, a lot of things to ask you!"

"I know! It's my mother-in-law at a young age. Qin Mubai smiled and waved, "I'm leaving!"

"I want it, hum!" Princess Gaoyang raised her lips and raised her face. "I will be more mother-in-law in the future. Don't bother me. Don't hate me. It's right to do anything I do. You have to love me and cherish me. Don't make me sad. Don't let me cry. Don't leave me. Don't want me. Don't..."

"I'm afraid of you! ..." Qin Mubai almost ran away.

"Thief military academy, stinky man, run faster than rabbits, hey hey!" Princess Gaoyang looked at Qin Mubai's background and smiled happily, and her face was filled with the unique warm smell of the little woman.

"I can't stand you two!" Li Ke, who had been watching for a while, shook his head and left with a long sigh.

"You are obviously jealous! Jealous! Haha!" Princess Gaoyang laughed loudly and walked to the room briskly humming a song.

When I got home, I found that my family had finished dinner, and Wu Mei Niang had already left. Qin Shuanger also complained a few words, indicating that she knew that Mei Niang was at home, and Qin Mubai came back so late.

Qin Shubao called Qin Mubai and said to him, "Just now, the King of Jiangxia came to visit. Looking at the situation, it seems that he came to you."

"Well, the child has seen him in Wu Wangfu." Qin Mubai said, "I went to see the king of Wu and explained to him that I wanted to be an official."

"What did he say?" Qin Shubao asked.

"He answered." Qin Mubai didn't want to talk too much about the twists and turns with his father. He simply replied, "He is ready to report it. Please ask His Majesty the Emperor."

Qin Shubao nodded silently, stroked his beard, and said, "It seems that the noise you have made in the area of Jiangzhou is not small. Even Li Daozong has resigned and retired. The tortuous interests in this must be extraordinary. Since you have made some taboos, it is not impossible to leave Chang'an for a period of time. It's just... Why do you have to be so close to Li Ke?"

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I don't think there's anything wrong with Li Ke. Moreover, I just complement each other's civil and military affairs with him, and it's not attached to him.

"It's easy to say. If you think so, others won't look at it that way. Qin Shubao sighed softly and said, "Li Ke is very good. He is capable, smart, talented and ambitious of all the emperor's princes. But he...that's all, let's not talk about it. Going on, it's a common saying. It's good to have a sense of moderation in your heart. Now that you have made a decision, you will be responsible for your own decision in the future.

"I will." Qin Mubai nodded solemnly.

"In addition..." Qin Shubao hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed to open his mouth. He still said, "Before you leave, let's see if you can find a way to help me find some errands?"

"Uh, this..." Qin Mubai hardly reacted for a moment. He was stunned for a moment and nodded, "The child must do his best!"

Dad asked me to help him find a job?

This is really an unexpected new thing!
