Chapter 256 Prince Chengqian

A few days later, the warship dock of Xiangzhou Military Mansion.

Qin Mubai sent a naval warship to meet the prince Banjunluan 30 miles upstream. There are many Jiashi on the dock, and important officials of the Assassin's Mansion and the Military Mansion have arrived. Li Daozong is also there, and Princess Gaoyang and Li You, the King of Qi, have also come.

Qin Mubai wore a uniform and was personally responsible for the garriling of the dock. Princess Gaoyang and Li Daozong stood together. Her eyes had never left Qin Mubai. Her face was always red, and she laughed secretly from time to time.

"Silly girl, what are you laughing at?" Li You asked.

"Brother, look, is Mu Bai very majestic?" Princess Gaoyang pointed to the front and Qin Mubai, who was scolding the sergeant, whispered.

"Yes, yes, yes, who else is not majestic?" Li You said with an angry smile.

"I like to see men wear armored robes the most!" Princess Gaoyang said, "It's both heroic and handsome. Brother, you are also the governor and a military officer. Why have you never seen you wear an armored robe?

"Do you think it's comfortable to wear?" Li You curled his lips and said, "It weighs dozens of pounds!"

"Wow, is it so heavy?" Princess Gaoyang turned her head in surprise and asked Li Daozong, "Uncle, is the armor on Mu Bai very heavy?"

Li Daozong smiled and said, "He is wearing the authentic Mingjia armor made by the court, weighing 26 catties. This is the first of the thirteen A in the Tang Dynasty. It is light, strong and beautiful. Among the iron armor, the heaviest fish scale armor can weigh 46 catties, which is not a helmet.

"It took dozens of first-class craftsmen to make this kind of bright light armor." Li You added, "It's not something ordinary people can afford to wear. I heard that Qin Mubai's set of bright armor was given by his father when he was in charge of the position of a hundred knights. It can be seen that it is not an ordinary thing.

Li Daozong also nodded: "It may be a little better than the armor I used to wear. After all, my armor is from a long time ago, and it is definitely not as good as it is now.

"Well, you men are excited as soon as you say this." Princess Gaoyang curled her lips. She didn't understand anything about things like armor, and she was not happy if she couldn't say anything, so she immediately changed the topic and rushed to say, "If only the third brother could do it today!"

Li You shrugged his eyebrows, shook his head and sighed, "The royal sister-in-law has just been buried. Recently, the third brother has been very depressed and looks very bad. I don't think he will come."

"Hey, my poor third brother!" Princess Gaoyang frowned and sighed in a long voice.

Li Daozong looked into the distance. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pouted at the two people: "Isn't this coming?"

Sure enough.

On the official road leading directly to the military port, Li Ke wore a purple pro-dynasty uniform and was running on the horse. Before arriving at the port, he turned over and got off the horse neatly, and he was walking this way energetically.

"Wow, why does the third brother seem to have suddenly changed a person, so energetic?" Princess Gaoyang whispered in surprise.

"Do you want to look at your third brother, Ai Ai like a sick man all day long?" Li Ke obviously heard it. He stepped forward and raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Princess Gaoyang.

"Third brother, you look really good today." Li You said.

"Fifth brother, Gao Yang, I've really worried you these days." Li Ke nodded to them and said to Li Daozong, "Uncle, I'm coming."

Li Daozong nodded and smiled, "I'm coming. Let's meet your prince together."

"Yes." Li Ke answered with a smile. He turned his head to Qin Mubai by the dock and said, "I'll go over and say a few words to him."

With that, Li Ke left.

Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes in surprise and muttered, "It's so strange. Why did the third brother suddenly... like a nothing happened?"

"Good man, that's it." Li Daozong said, "You'er, you have to learn more from your third brother."

"Yes. My nephew knows that I have a lot of places that are not as good as the third brother. Li You also said so.

Li Daozong looked at Li Ke, who was walking away with a smile on his face, and said to himself, "Yes, this is the Li Ke who watched him grow up since I was a child. If you can afford it, you can let it go; true temperament, man!"

Qin Mubai was talking about the etiquette of those sergeants at the dock, and he was talking a little dryly. Suddenly, he looked back and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Li Ke walking towards him with a light spring breeze on his face.

"Your Highness, you are here." Qin Mubai looked at him up and down, which was a little incredible. Now it seems that Li Ke is no different from before except for a little weight. It can't be seen that he has just experienced the pain of losing his wife.

"Yes, how can I not come to such a big occasion?" Li Ke smiled and nodded to him, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

"This is the best way. I have always had confidence in you. Qin Mubai also nodded and smiled with relief.

"I figured it out." Li Ke took a long breath, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely, "If I can't live well, how can she rest assured in the spirit of heaven? I didn't take good care of and love her before I died, which made her so weak. After death, I gave her a little comfort to the spirit of the spring.

"Wise." Qin Mubai sincerely praised it.

Now he feels that Li Ke is more calm and mature.

No wonder people often say that it only takes once to become a girl to become a woman, and it must succeed; while for a boy to become a man, it takes thousands of times of training and many twists and turns to be effective.

The pain of losing his wife this time made Li Ke's mood change a little.

"Okay, I won't say more." Li Ke smiled, stretched out his fist and tapped Qin Mubai's chest twice, and said, "Now I'm with you to welcome the prince. From now on, the work of the Assassin House will be returned to me. During this period of time, all the military and political affairs in Xiangzhou have been on your shoulders, and you have to hold the sacrificial ceremony, which makes you exhausted.

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled: "But it's worth it."

Li You in the distance looked at this side and couldn't help sighing, "The two of them have a good relationship."

"Are you jealous?" Li Daozong joked.

"Uh! ..." Li You was stunned, and then smiled dryly, "It's useless to be jealous! God won't send Qin Mubai to me!"

"Thousand-mile horses are often available, but Bole is not often." Li Daozong said, "You'er, don't complain about the sky. It is the right way to have nothing to do, fight less chickens and bet less money, reflect more on yourself, study hard, and strengthen your own knowledge and cultivation. As the saying goes, when the water comes, you and Ke'er are like a canal. Repair the canal by yourself first, and the living water will naturally come. You can't rely on luck for everything.

"Well, my nephew knows, Uncle Xie mentioned it." Li You nodded hurriedly and bowed in response, but a flash of impatience flashed in his eyes.

What a delicate person Li Daozong is. Naturally, he took all this in his eyes and shook his head secretly and said: Longsheng Jiuzi is different. In this case, I will never tell you again. If it were Li Ke and Qin Mubai, they would never have reacted like this. Li You is arrogant and not serious, but his mind seems to be small. In the future, bad things will happen sooner or later...

After less than half an hour, a team of ships appeared on the water in front of them. The leading escort was the Shenyu spacecraft of Xiangzhou Military Mansion.

"Here we go!"

The civil and military officials returned to their respective positions, and the horn blew. Li Ke took the lead. Li Daozong, Qin Mubai, Li You and Princess Gaoyang followed closely and stood on the dock waiting for the prince's ship to dock.

Prince Li Chengqian, with a group of guards and officials, set out from Chang'an and went to Xiangzhou, which was notified by Shangzhou, and asked the Governor's Office to arrange ships to take over the Han River. At this moment, he is on the divine fish ship of Xiangzhou Military Mansion.

When the ship docked, Li Chengqian stood in the bow and rushed to the crowd.

When Qin Mubai was in the position of Baiqi, he had seen Li Chengqian many times. He was not unfamiliar with his appearance, but he had no deep friendship. There are many rumors about him from the outside world. Some say that he has been smart and agile since he was a child, and that he has become ignorant when he grows up. Some people say that he is filial, and some people say that he is hypocritical.

There are various versions.

Qin Mubai has never had the habit of accepting rumors. He only believes that "it is better to see than to hear". Isn't Li Chengqian, the living prince, in front of him now? It's not easy to get to know him?

The prince has landed. Li Ke took a step forward and arched his hand and shouted, "Li Ke, lead the military officials in Xiangzhou, and welcome His Royal Highness!"

"Welcome the prince!" The officials, including Li Daozong, made peace.

The prince, the crown prince of the country, is half a king. Even when the uncle sees him, he has to be called a "son".

Li Chengqian's appearance is between the fat king of Wei and the handsome Li Ke. It's neither too fat nor too thin. The face inherited a few contours of Li Shimin. Like all the brothers, they have the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a little beard, which is quite decent. He is also quite tall, close to 1.8 meters. At first glance, Li Chengqian, wearing a yellow-robed prince's court uniform, looks and behaves quite in line with his identity as a prince.

Li Chengqian came forward, bowed back, and said with a smile full of spring breeze, "Thank you for welcoming me. Please forgive me!"

"Thank you, Prince!"

This is a pass through the established etiquette.

At this time, Li Chengqian came to Li Ke again, grabbed his wrist, held his hand, looked at him seriously and whispered with infinite grace, "Third brother, are you all right?"

Li Ke smiled slightly: "Thank you for your love. I'm fine."

"My sister-in-law is gone. You can take good care of yourself!" Li Chengqian sighed, "What a good woman. What a beautiful woman."

"Brother Prince, it's not easy for the third brother to be happy. Can't you not mention this?" Princess Gaoyang, who was beside her, suddenly shouted.

"Ha ha, yes, yes, it's stupid." Li Chengqian smiled with a little shame and self-deprecating, and a few crow's feet wrinkled at the corners of his eyes.

Qin Mubai smiled secretly and thought that there was a smile with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which was a real smile. In this way, Li Chengqian is not as hypocritical as Li Tai. Li Tai often laughed and often narrowed his eyes, but he rarely saw his crow's feet.

"Uncle, I've been in Xiangzhou for many days. Is everything okay?" Li Chengqian came to salute Li Daozong again, and he was very respectful.

"The prince is nagging. My old man didn't be idle for a moment when he came to Xiangzhou, but he was very busy." Li Daozong smiled and said, "Now that you come, everything will be fine. Finally, I can not be in charge of Ke'er. After the sacrifice, I will take Linger to play in the mountains and rivers!"

"Haha, that's good. You can ask your nephew to go with you then!" Li Chengqian laughed happily.

I just finished the etiquette, and now my family is talking, which seems quite close. Li Chengqian, the prince, is not arrogant, but quite affinity. Moreover, at least from the scene just now, he is a little sincere to others.

"Your Highness, Xingyuan has been prepared. You have been working all the way, please move the road now and have a rest first!" Li Ke said.

"Okay, I have a third brother." Li Chengqian nodded and smiled.

"Mubai, guide the way." Li Ke ordered.

"The humble position takes the order!" Qin Mubai answered with his fist and waved his hand, "Hundred riders obey the order and protect the prince until Xingyuan!"

"No!" A hundred riders and soldiers answered loudly and stepped on the horse together, which was chic and sharp.

"General Qin, after a few years, you are more elegant in the past! When you come to Xiangzhou, you are still so excellent. Li Chengqian nodded and smiled at Qin Mubai, took another look at the hundred riders, and sincerely praised, "The strong generals have no weak soldiers, and the mighty division is really good."

"His Royal Highness the Prince's praise. Please invite the prince to Dengyu!" Qin Mubai held a boxing fist.

"Good." Li Chengqian boarded the Prince Luan car that had already been prepared for him, and the two military attachers led by the Donggong Guard followed him to board the car public.

"You go down." Li Chengqian suddenly said to the two guards, "Let Qin Mubai come up."

The two of them were stunned and didn't dare to say more, so they had to go down.

Now that the prince has opened his mouth, Qin Mubai can't, so he has to get on the car and follow the car.

"Okay, it's time to go." Li Chengqian ordered with a smile, and the driver began to move forward. Li Ke and others also boarded the car and followed them.

"General Qin, I have been looking forward to drinking with you for a long time, and I'm drunk. It's just that you have always refused to appreciate it. When you come to Xiangzhou this time, you are the same landlord as the King of Wu. Won't you treat guests so well? Li Chengqian said casually with a smile on his face.

Qin Mubai knew that he had posted a banquet for Wu Mei Niang after mentioning the last Jiangzhou case. At that time, he actually wanted to ask Wu Mei Niang to go with him, but he didn't go.

"If Your Highness is interested, I will definitely accompany you. It's just that Weichen's drinking capacity is limited, so don't laugh at that time. Qin Mubai also replied with a smile.

"That won't work. You must be with me." Li Chengqian patted the armrest of Luanzuo and said with a mysterious smile, "Because I brought you a good gift from Chang'an, you will like it. Since you like it, you must thank you. If you are grateful, you must accompany the wine.

"Oh?" Qin Mubai was stunned by surprise. He thought in his heart and understood.

"It seems that you have guessed it?" Li Chengqian also didn't mean to keep selling the key all the time. He laughed and said, "You guessed right. Wu Mei Niang, together with some of the relatives and relatives of the East Palace, are in another boat. We had already made an appointment to leave Beijing and go to Xiang together, so we came on the same road.

"Thank you, Prince!" Qin Mubai arched his hand and said, "It seems that Weichen has to sacrifice his life to pay for the gentleman!"

"Haha, if that's the case, it's great!" Li Chengqian patted the armrest and laughed and said, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let the emperor's uncle and the third brother and the fifth brother are all here. Today, we will have a banquet in the lonely Xingyuan. Let's get together! - Uncle, third brother, what do you think?"

Li Daozong and Li Ke had heard it for a long time. At this time, they arched their hands together and said, "Vice, just follow the prince's instructions!"

Qin Mubai's eyes couldn't help glancing at Princess Gaoyang's carriage, and he muttered in his heart: Well, there was no peace in Xiangzhou, and the two women bumped into each other again.

At this time, Princess Gaoyang opened the window and shouted excitedly, "Brother Prince, did you just say that Mei Niang came with you? Where are you?"

"It's on the ship in the back. It's time to go ashore now!" Li Chengqian replied.

"Oh! Then I'll go to her and pick her up to the prince's brother's Xingyuan. Go first, don't wait for me! - Hee hee, handlebar, turn around, turn around, go back to the dock just now!" Princess Gaoyang shouted happily.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little stunned: Do they have a good relationship? She seems to be very happy? This is unreasonable!

At this time, he found that Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Daozong and Li You also looked at him in surprise, as if these words were written on their faces - "This is unreasonable!"
