Chapter 63: Encountering Ziyuan by chance, farewell tonight
"This... master's temperament is really hard to fathom. But Mr. Huang is at the fourth level. I want to be escorted by him. Can I do that?"
The fourth prince was very humble.
Li Nuo knew that the fourth prince would not give up, so he said: "Forget it, I'll call Lao Huang over, and your highness can ask him himself."
"Your Highness, why don't you let Huang Jiujian and Li Zian escort you to the dock first? As for whether you want Huang Jiujian to go back to Chang'an with you, we will discuss it in detail on the way..."
Magistrate Chen echoed.
"That's all right, without further ado, let's set off now..."
So, a group of people headed to Yuzhou River Pier.
On the way, Lao Huang rejected the fourth prince's wishes without delay, which made the fourth prince a little unhappy.
After all, he is also a prince, but he turns out to be such a courteous and virtuous corporal, but he can't deal with an old man.
But then again, fourth-level masters are already rare, let alone him. Even his royal brothers have only managed to win over three or five people.
In fact, if Huang Jiujian could leave Yuzhou, he would have left long ago, why wait until now?
With his cultivation at the peak of the fourth level of martial arts, he was able to get along like a fish in water even under the feet of Chang'an, the crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
The fourth prince's disappointment all fell into Li Nuo's eyes.
Okay.
How can this city compete with those three princes for the crown prince position?
Watching everyone boarding the ship, Li Nuo cupped his hands and said, "It's getting late. Everyone, have a nice trip. We'll say goodbye today. We'll see you again when we have the chance."
"Zian, I have a hunch that we will meet again in Chang'an soon."
Looking at Li Nuo's figure, the fourth prince was filled with emotions.
If that incident hadn't happened at last year's Xinke Banquet, Li Zian would have skyrocketed to great heights and become brilliant.
If there is such a person to help, why worry about accomplishing the great cause?
Unknowingly, the fourth prince showed a hint of ambition.
"Haha, Your Majesty will not let me go back to Chang'an, unless Your Highness, Fourth Highness, can..."
Speaking of this, Li Nuo paused, but did not say the words "replace".
The fourth prince's expression suddenly changed.
To say any more would be treason!
The others immediately walked away and pretended not to hear.
Unexpectedly, Li Nuo changed the topic: "By the way, Your Highness, you really didn't harm me at the Xinke Banquet last year?"
The fourth prince was shocked: "What are you talking about! Don't you know clearly about Jiang Qiuyue that you offended? What's more, I have no ability to harm you."
Li Nuo nodded.
Just now he used the perception of the Grand Master Realm to check and found that the Fourth Prince indeed had no trace of lying.
In fact, Li Nuo had a very high vision and really looked down on those princes.
The eldest prince is more than conservative but not aggressive enough, and he is not very broad-minded. Even though the Lushan faction has always upheld the orthodoxy of having the eldest prince and his direct descendants, he really doesn't have a good impression of his highness.
The second prince is mighty and domineering, but lacks a kind heart, and he must retaliate against others.
The third prince has been serving as a royal guard for so long that he can no longer extricate himself, and his heart and liver are stained black.
On the contrary, this fourth prince, despite all his shortcomings, made him feel somewhat interesting.
…
Yuzhou Pier is extremely prosperous.
the other side.
A carriage slowly stopped and two pretty women stepped out.
One master and one servant.
The owner was veiled and wearing a bamboo hat, so his face could not be seen clearly. The maid was carrying her luggage, pouting, and looking around.
"Miss, do you really not want to tell Mr. Li?"
The maid looked unhappy.
"So what? He is already... married."
The woman laughed at herself slightly.
Once you enter the world of mortals, you will lose your life. It is a fantasy to marry someone as a head wife.
Even though her status is somewhat special, after entering this world of mortals, even if she keeps herself clean, who would believe her?
The maid pouted and said: "It's true, Mr. Li, he has never come to visit our Zuiyue Residence since he got married. He is a heartless and heartless man!"
The woman frowned slightly and said: "I heard that his wife is so beautiful that she can conquer the whole country..."
"Hmph! Those are all rumors. Miss, there is no need to belittle yourself. You are on the "Beauty List" and you are ranked fourth. Let me ask you, among all the men in the world, which one would not fall in love with you?"
The maid naturally protected her young lady, "By the way, madam, I heard that Mrs. Li opened a calligraphy and painting shop on the bank of the Yuzhou River. How about we go and have a look?"
The woman was a little moved, but she quickly rejected it: "Why bother? Let's not talk about this. Let's go quickly. The time is coming. If we miss the boat, we will have to wait until tomorrow morning."
"Hehe, miss, I heard that Chang'an is more prosperous than Yuzhou, is it true?"
The maid's eyes lit up.
She was sold to Zuiyueju as a girl since she was a child, but she had never left Yuzhou, so she was naturally full of curiosity about the outside world.
"Under the emperor's feet, nature is prosperous."
"My slave has had a wish since she was a child, which is to go to Chang'an City and see the imperial palace!"
"There's nothing interesting about the palace, it's just a bigger cage."
The woman said sentimentally.
In fact, what can a harem of three thousand beauties do? Wasn't he locked in a deep palace and raised as a canary...
"Oh, miss, look, it's Mr. Li!"
Suddenly, the maid said with excitement on her face.
"Li Lang...why is he here?"
The woman was a little shocked.
"I understand! Mr. Li must have known that you were going to Chang'an, so he was waiting for the lady at the pier to give her a surprise! It seems that Mr. Li still has some conscience."
The maid immediately started thinking.
…
As the sun set, after bidding farewell to the fourth prince, Li Nuo was preparing to return home when a familiar figure appeared in his eyes.
Although she was covered with a veil, Li Nuo recognized her at a glance, not to mention that he was very familiar with the little maid named Hongyan next to her.
Oiran Purple Kite.
Why is she here?
"Hey, Brother Nuo, have you met an old friend? That old man will take the first step."
Lao Huang grinned.
He didn't want to get involved in young people's love and affection, so he immediately greased the soles of his feet...
"Mr. Li, long time no see. How are you?"
Zi Yuan stepped forward generously and said blessing to Li Nuo.
"It's you! Are you... going on a long trip?"
Li Nuo was a little surprised.
Since getting married, all his thoughts have been on his wife, and he has no time to listen to music.
So he had no idea what Zi Yuan had been through recently. He was even kept in the dark about the fact that Zi Yuan offended Deputy Captain Lin Jingcheng in order not to betray him.
Fortunately, Lin Jingcheng was killed by him, which was a disguised form of revenge for Zi Yuan.
"Master Li, my lady is going to Chang'an!"
Hongyan replied immediately.
"Ah, why are you going to Chang'an?"
Li Nuo didn't understand.
Could it be that Zuiyueju is not good to Ziyuan?
No way.
After all, Ziyuan is also Zuiyueju's money tree, and it's too late for others to provide it.
Zi Yuan shook her head and said: "You will eventually get tired of staying in one place for a long time, so I thought of going somewhere else to relax while I was young. A sister just happened to invite me to go to Chang'an, so I agreed."
Li Nuo: "Zuiyueju is willing to let him go?"
"Mr. Li, my lady has saved some savings over the years and redeemed herself!"
Hongyan explained hurriedly.
Li Nuo felt a little emotional.
How much courage does it take for a brothel girl to redeem herself?
Everyone likes to persuade others to do good. But how easy is it for a woman in this world to be a good person?
"Master Li, we have to say goodbye today, and I don't know when we will see each other again. Zi Yuan has a heartless request, can you give me one last poem..."
