There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. The news of Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu's relationship had already reached the ears of the elders of the Wang Family of Taiyuan a few days ago.
Li Jingchu was just a merchant's daughter. In the eyes of these elders, who had very serious views on family status, Li Jingchu was far from being worthy of the eldest son of the Wang Family. Therefore, there was almost no suspense. Almost everyone in the Wang Family opposed this marriage. Some elders even threatened that if Wang Renbiao insisted on marrying Li Jingchu, he was no longer worthy of being the eldest son of the Wang Family and had to be expelled from the family as a punishment.
As Wang Renbiao's father and the current head of the Wang Family of Taiyuan, Wang Yu naturally knew about this matter. On one side was his son, and on the other side was his family. Old Wang was actually in a difficult position.
Li Zexuan's casual guess hit the nail on the head. Hearing this, Wang Renbiao couldn't help but be startled. He wanted to deny it, but facing Li Zexuan's aggressive gaze, he sighed and said, "Xiaoxuan, you guessed right.
"Little Xuan, your guess is correct. Recently, the elders of the family have indeed expressed their dissatisfaction with my marriage with Jingchu. In two days, my mother will also personally come to Qizhou. If I insist on being with Jingchu, it's very likely that my name will be removed from the family. At that time, I should no longer be the Provincial Governor of Qizhou! Therefore, I have the heart but not the ability to help Xue Rengui. "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan's heart sank. When he learned that Wang Renbiao had fallen in love with a merchant's daughter, he guessed that this matter would cause a violent reaction from the Wang Family. This was because in history, Wang Renbiao's mother, Princess Tong 'an, didn't like Wang Renbiao's wife because of her low birth. As a result, after Wang Renbiao died of illness, his wife and son were directly expelled from the family and completely became an orphan and widow.
"Renbiao, I'll go back to Chang 'an to treat Teacher Wenji first. As for the Wang Family, I'll write a letter to your father and see if he can' favor 'you for once. Besides, even if the Wang Family wants to abolish your position as the eldest son of the Wang Family, they can't take away your position as the Provincial Governor of Qizhou. This is an official position conferred upon you by the current Emperor. If the Emperor doesn't speak, you can't be removed. If the Wang Clan sends someone into the palace, I will also plead for you in front of His Majesty. You don't have to worry too much! "
After pondering for a moment, Li Zexuan said slowly.
In Yunshan, Li Gang was critically ill, and this was an extremely urgent matter. Even if Li Zexuan wanted to help Wang Renbiao, he didn't have the time right now. In addition, this was a family matter of the Wang Clan. He didn't want to and couldn't get too involved. The only thing he could do was act as an outsider and do what he could. For example, if the Wang Clan wanted to use Princess Tong 'an and Li Zexuan's relationship to remove Wang Renbiao from his position as Governor of Qizhou, Li Zexuan would definitely speak up for him!
Wang Renbiao smiled in relief, "Regarding the position of Governor of Qizhou, I don't really care about it. You don't have to worry about me, Xiao Xuan. You should return to Yunshan to treat Teacher Wenji! Even if I don't have the identity of the Wang family's eldest son and the position of Qizhou's provincial governor, I won't starve to death! Even if I'm really at my wit's end, I can still rely on you, right? Xiao Xuan, you won't reject me, right? "
"Of course not!"
Li Zexuan said seriously, "We'll always be brothers. Brothers should share weal and woe together. The worst outcome of this is that not only will you lose the identity of the Wang family's eldest son, but you'll also lose the position of Governor of Qizhou. But even so, what's the harm? You're still my brother, Li Zexuan! "
"Haha! Xiao Xuan, I'm already satisfied with your words! "
Wang Renbiao couldn't help but smile. Then, he looked at the sun and said seriously to Li Zexuan, "Xiao Xuan, Teacher Wenji's condition is still more important! It's almost nine in the morning, you should leave as soon as possible! "
Li Zexuan nodded and cupped his hands in farewell, "Alright! Renbiao, we'll meet again! "
"We'll meet again!"
Wang Renbiao cupped his hands and said indifferently.
Li Zexuan and Xuan Qing got on their horses and left Longmen Pass, heading south.
…
"Giddy up! Giddy up! Whitey, faster! Faster! "
On the official road from Jiangzhou to Chang 'an, two men were galloping on horseback. The man in front was slightly younger. He was handsome and tall. As the horse was galloping, his hair was pulled back by the wind. The man in the back was slightly older. He was in his twenties or thirties. Although he was handsome, the expression on his face was rather cold. He gave off a feeling that strangers should not approach him.
"Xiao Xuan, where did you get this horse? It's even faster than a Ferghana horse! "
Xuan Qing, who didn't like to talk, finally couldn't help but ask after seeing the speed of Whitey under Li Zexuan.
The horse he was riding was a mount that had accompanied him for many years. It was one of the best horses, and he spent a lot of money on it. But now, compared to the big white horse under Li Zexuan, it suddenly paled in comparison. The big white horse seemed to have the energy to continue accelerating, but the big black horse he was riding was already running at full speed! How could Xuan Qing not be surprised?
Hearing this, Li Zexuan turned around to look at Xuan Qing's position. He realized that the distance between the two of them was about thirty feet. Thus, he hurriedly slowed down the speed of the horse and replied, "Junior Martial Uncle, my father bought this horse from the Hu people two years ago. After returning home from Mount Longhu last year, I realized that I had some affinity with this horse, so I asked my father for it to be my mount!"
"I see!"
Xuan Qing nodded and didn't ask further.
He knew that Li Zexuan was anxious to go back to Chang 'an to visit Li Gang, so he said, "Xiao Xuan, your horse doesn't seem to be running at full speed. Don't worry about me, go back to Yunshan at full speed and check on Teacher Wenji's injuries first. I'll be there soon!"
Li Zexuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Okay! Youngest Uncle, I'll go first! You can go directly to Yunshan, I'll be waiting for you there! "
"Okay! Be careful! "
Xuan Qing said in a low voice.
Li Zexuan turned his head to face the front, then patted Whitey's neck and said anxiously, "Whitey, hurry up!"
Whitey seemed to be able to feel Li Zexuan's anxiety. As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, Whitey's speed suddenly increased by twenty percent, and it was still accelerating. The distance between Li Zexuan and Xuan Qing was getting farther and farther!
Last year, when Han Yuxi was kidnapped to Xuefeng Stockade, Li Zexuan felt Whitey's extreme speed when he went to save her. However, it was only a short distance back then, and the whole city was only about forty miles away. This time, it was different. The distance between Jiang Province and Chang 'an was about five to six hundred miles. Li Zexuan didn't know how long Whitey could last at full speed, but in order to save Li Gang, who was in critical condition, he could only take one step at a time!
At worst, he could wait for Whitey to get tired and use his Qinggong to rush for a while. Whitey could follow behind him and rest while running. After resting, he could get back on the horse and continue to run!
…
"Brother Crown Prince, is Brother Xiao Xuan really okay now?"
Not long after the morning assembly, Changle came directly to the East Palace and found Li Chengqian. She asked directly when she saw him.
Obviously, some of the discussion in the morning assembly had reached Changle's ears.
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Changle, you've heard about the war in the north?"
Changle nodded and said, "Yes, yes! Previously, when I passed by Taiji Palace, the officials had just finished their morning assembly. Uncle and Minister Fang talked about it! Brother Crown Prince, quickly tell Changle whether Brother Xiao Xuan is okay or not? "
As she spoke, Changle's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of pleading as she looked at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian couldn't bear Changle's pleading gaze and hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Changle. Although Xiao Xuan was injured when he fought with the Turkic State Preceptor, his injuries have completely recovered with the help of Daoist Xuan Qing from Longhu Mountain! Thinking about it, he should be back after things are stabilized over there! "
"Really? That's great! "
Hearing this, Changle was immediately overjoyed and her face lit up with joy. She stood up and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I'm relieved! Oh, right, Brother Crown Prince, Imperial Mother's Soaring Meteoric Prosperity is almost finished. Should we go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant outside the palace to help Imperial Mother buy some more? "
Speaking of the locust plague that broke out in the Guanzhong area, Li Zexuan took the opportunity to purchase a lot of locusts, so not only did the supply of Flying Locusts of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant soar, the price also dropped a lot. Many people knew that Flying Locusts was made from locusts, but those who had tasted the delicacy of Flying Locusts could not resist the temptation of this delicacy. Even if they knew that this thing was made from locusts, they still ate happily and fought to come to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to eat Flying Locusts!
Empress Zhangsun had heard from Li Zexuan a long time ago that locusts could be used to treat illnesses, especially for those with Qi ailments. Locusts were very useful, so when the locust plague broke out this year, a batch of prepared locusts was quickly sent to the imperial palace.
Although the imperial chefs in the imperial palace had tried to make Soaring Meteoric Prosperity at the behest of Empress Zhangsun, this thing might look the same on the outside, but it clearly couldn't compare to the Soaring Meteoric Prosperity at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Many times, the Soaring Meteoric Prosperity that Empress Zhangsun ate came from the Drunken Immortal Restaurant because only the Soaring Meteoric Prosperity at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant didn't have the "earthy taste" of locusts!
"Soaring Meteoric Prosperity?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian quickly shook his head and said, "This thing can be directly sent to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to buy some. Why do we need to personally make a trip?"
Changle wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "Brother Crown Prince, we haven't been out of the palace together for two months. Now that we finally have the opportunity, do you want to go out of the palace with Changle?"
The imperial palace symbolized a life of luxury, but at the same time, for the princes and princesses, the imperial palace was almost equivalent to a cage. The people in the cage wanted to desperately get out, while the people outside wanted to enter and live a life of luxury, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't enter the cage!
Changle was lively by nature and often liked to go out of the palace. Especially now that her Qi ailment had completely recovered, she didn't need Li Er to worry about her health.
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay! But I have other important things to do today. Tomorrow! Tomorrow, I'll take you out of the palace and go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Chang 'an City! Changle, what do you think? "
"Tomorrow! Tomorrow is fine too! Brother Crown Prince, remember to send someone to call me! "
Changle nodded and then left.
Looking at her lively and lovely back, Li Chengqian had a headache and rubbed his head, but his eyes were full of pampering.
…
Yunshan Residence.
Previously, Li Anren went into the room with Li Er to see Li Gang who was lying in bed. At this time, little Anren's eyes were red and swollen from crying. He was hiding in his mother's arms and sobbing slightly. Li Er, after staying here for half an hour, had already set the carriage to return to the palace.
"Sister Yuxi, when will Brother Xiaoxuan come back to save grandfather?"
Li Anren had received a good education since he was young, and he was more sensible than other children. Little Anren had heard some of the conversation between Li Er, Sun Simiao, and Han Yuxi, so he couldn't help but ask at this moment.
He had a kind of blind trust in Li Zexuan!
"Don't worry, Anren. Your Brother Xiaoxuan should be on his way now. He should be back tonight!"
Han Yuxi looked at little Anren with eyes full of heartache and comforted him softly.
