Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 41

Lian Heng stayed in Mingxin Lake to personally supervise the Forbidden Army to pick up the bodies of those girls, and ordered them to be parked in a temporary tent.Afterwards, he arranged accommodation for those monks and Taoist priests nearby, allowing them to rest well and prepare for tomorrow's water and land ceremony.

By the time this was done, it was already dusk.After thinking about it, Lian Heng didn't want to treat him badly, so he asked his subordinates to go back to the residence first, while he himself went to a hotel where he often stayed as a guest.

The name of the hotel is Longxianglou, and the owner behind it is a prince of the Lian family.The prince doesn't care about business on weekdays, he only has the hobby of running a business.

It is precisely because of his status as a relative of the emperor that the chef in Longxiang Building was invited from the palace, and the food he made was naturally different from other places, especially exquisite and delicious.

There is also a saying in the capital: "The roast duck at Baiyue Building and the dim sum at Longxiang Building are comparable to a table of dishes served by His Majesty the Emperor."

Lian Heng is a frequent customer of this store.

He was not valued by his father since he was a child, especially after the death of Empress Changsun and Lian Zong being demoted from Beijing, he was even less taken seriously.However, it is also convenient for Lian Heng to go out of the palace to play.And Longxiang Tower is the place where he often eats after leaving the palace.

Although Lian Heng has now been conferred the title of King of Qinyang, with a high position and authority, he still keeps this Longxiang Tower in his heart all the time.

As soon as Lian Heng arrived at Longxiang Building, he was invited to the private room where he often stayed by the waiter who was familiar with him.

"Same as usual." Lian Heng said to the waiter while sipping tea.

"Okay." With a smile on his face, the waiter in the shop swiftly took the door and went out.

Lianheng's private room is facing North Street, which is the busiest place in the entire capital.Although it was dusk at this moment, and every household smoked from the kitchen, the bustle of Beishi Street did not decrease at all.

Lian Heng was watching jugglers performing acrobatics not far away, when he heard a loud noise coming from not far away.

He thought that since his dinner hadn't been served yet, it wouldn't hurt to just join in the fun.

Thinking of this, His Highness King Qinyang decisively turned his attention to the source of the voice.

I saw a man dressed as a nobleman stopped a tall girl in a smoky blue cloak.

Although Lian Heng didn't hear it very clearly, he also knew that this "noble son" was being reprimanded by that girl's servant for his rude words.After going back and forth, the two quarreled, but the girl didn't say anything.

Others might not have noticed, but even the sharp-eyed recognition of the blue goshawk stamped on the servant's face wasn't just for looks.

That is the symbol of the Kata tribe, one of the four tribes of the Northern Desert!

Because the four parts of Beimo are far away from Dayao, and there is a Daman in the middle, they don't have a deep friendship.Occasionally, business travelers from the Fourth Division of Beimo would come to Dayao to do business, but they were all large caravans, and it was very rare for a pair of master and servant to come here alone like the pair of masters and servants on Beishi Street.

Lian Heng looked at the girl who had never said a word, and suddenly felt that his back looked a bit like a person.But he quickly dismissed that, with a self-deprecating smile.

It just so happened that the waiter came in knocking on the door with a tray.

Lian Hengbian no longer paid attention to the disputes in Beishi Street.He sat back in his seat, then took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube and began to eat.

Lian Heng, who was eating happily, didn't know that the moment he withdrew his eyes, the taciturn "girl" glanced in the direction of his private room, and then showed a meaningful smile.

"Let's go." The "girl" finally spoke.But what he said startled the surrounding people.

This deep and hoarse voice is not something a girl should have.This is obviously a handsome young man!

The young man who came up to pester him jumped up in anger. He just rolled up his sleeves and wanted to talk to the young man and his servants, but the young man's eyes fixed him on the spot.

He seemed to be stared at by a wolf, unable to move, and did not dare to move.

In the midst of winter, a thick layer of sweat broke out on Young Master's back, and he tremblingly begged the young man for mercy: "I, I, I know I was wrong."

The young man stopped looking at him, and said to his servant again: "Let's go."

The servant immediately followed behind him.

Although the two walked far away, his son-in-law still felt that the young man's fierce eyes were lingering in his mind.

He became angry and waved away the people watching the excitement around him, and went home.

And Lian Heng also regarded this incident as a small episode during his meal and didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't until he returned to the house that the housekeeper reported to him that a person who claimed to be his friend had come, and Lian Heng realized that his premonition was right once.

Above the main hall, Lian Heng saw the smoky blue cloak he had just seen before, and the servant with a goshawk pattern on his face.

Because the young man's back was facing the gate, the first thing Lian Heng saw was his back.Looking at this familiar figure from behind, Lian Heng clenched his fists.

"Long time no see." Hearing the footsteps, the young man turned his head and nodded to Lian Heng.

As he spoke, he took off his cloak.Then he stretched out his hand towards Lian Heng, and said, "Aren't you happy to see your old friend?"

Lian Heng slammed his fist on the woman-like face of the visitor.

After a hit, Lian Heng rubbed his fist and sneered, "I don't have any friends who only know how to use brothers."

Lian Heng and Yan Lang, that young man, met each other five years ago.

At that time Lian Zong hadn't returned to Beijing yet, and Lian Heng was just one of the playboys in the capital.As for Yanlang, he was a down-and-out boy who came to the capital with the caravan of the Kata tribe.

"Tell me, what are you doing in the capital?" Lian Heng put on a posture to see off the guests, "The prince of the Kata tribe is not staying in his own tribe, because he dislikes his ordinary life and wants to find excitement?"

That's right, Yanlang's real identity is the prince of the Kata tribe, one of the four northern desert tribes.

Back then, he came to the capital because he was not valued in the tribe. In order to improve his status, he invited him to come to Dayao to collect information for the Daman who became allies with them.

And Lian Heng was the unlucky entry point chosen by him.

"I miss you." Yanlang said bluntly.His pale golden eyes were fixed on Lian Heng, and he was not affected by Lian Heng's sarcasm at all.

Hearing this, Lian Heng sneered again, and said, "I miss you too, thinking about when you will die. It's a pity, God doesn't help me, you are living a much better life now than before."

Yanlang still laughed.But his smile is different from Lian Zong's.

In Yanlang's smile, there is always a trace of frightening madness.

He said softly to Lian Heng: "I miss you for one reason, and another reason is that Beimo Sibu wants to form an alliance with Dayao."

Lian Heng's expression was very ugly now, he went directly outside the main hall and wanted to call the soldiers to drive Yanlang and the others out.

But before he could open his mouth, Yanlang stepped forward and slashed Lian Heng's neck with a knife.

He held Lian Heng into his arms, and then said softly to the imperial guard who was about to attack: "I came here with sincerity, I hope Emperor Dayao can call me."

The hidden guards appeared from the shadows, they looked at each other, and then two of the hidden guards went to the palace to report to Lian Zong, while the rest stayed behind to monitor Yanlang's actions.

If they had known that Lian Heng was still in Yanlang's hands, they would not have dared to act rashly.

In the Qianyuan Hall, His Majesty the Emperor was furious when he received the news from the hidden guards. He immediately dispatched a thousand imperial troops to personally lead them to Qinyang Palace.

Gu Fang couldn't hide such a big commotion in the palace.Relying on the height of the National Teacher Tower, Gu Fang could clearly see the direction of the imperial army's advance.

He asked Emperor Kaiyuan anxiously: "It's so late, where are the imperial guards going?"

"I don't know yet." Emperor Kaiyuan stroked his beard with an inexplicable expression: "I saw Zong'er."

"What?" Gu Fang's expression changed.

This should be a big deal, otherwise Lian Zong would not have personally led the Imperial Army out of the palace.

"Master." Gu Fang looked at Emperor Kaiyuan in embarrassment.He was really worried about Lian Zong.But at the moment it is not convenient for him to leave the palace, he really doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Emperor Kaiyuan said to him: "Don't worry, my cultivation base has improved a lot during this period of time, and it is no problem to stay in a place where there is no enshrinement during this period of time. I will go and see what's going on."

With Emperor Kaiyuan's words, Gu felt relieved.He watched Emperor Kaiyuan leave, and then looked at the long line of imperial troops, he was really unwilling to be a deaf and blind national teacher who needed others to tell him everything.

That night, Gu Fang had been practicing calligraphy in the study for the third watch.When his arm was so weak that he couldn't lift it up, Emperor Kaiyuan finally came back.

Gu Fang rushed to meet him, but Emperor Kaiyuan didn't answer him immediately, but pointed behind him.

Gu Fang took a closer look, the one who came with the night is not His Majesty the Emperor?

"What happened?" Gu Fang poured a cup of tea for Lian Zong, and then sat beside Lian Zong.

Even after taking a sip of tea, he felt his whole body warm up.He gently put his hand on Gu Fang's, and then smiled consolingly at Gu Fang: "It's okay, it's just that a guest who is not very interesting came. I have already dealt with it."

Gu Fang saw that his expression was normal, so he didn't press further.He sat quietly with Lianzong for a long time.

On the second day, Gu Fang woke up in his own bed.He sat up straight, looked at His Majesty the Emperor standing by the window with his hands behind his back, and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's time." Lian Zong turned his head and smiled gently at Gu Fang, "By the way, Heng'er needs to live in the National Teacher Tower in the near future, so take care of him."

"Naturally." Gu Fang tidied up his underwear, and did not ask Lian Heng why he lived in the National Teacher Tower.
