Phi-Fic Chapter 172 A Lot of Small Things
Chapter 172 A Lot of Small Things
After leaving Bago's prison, Anton Jun finally came to Li Siyuan's prison. At this time, Li Siyuan was looking out the lattice window with lifeless eyes.
In the past few days, Li Siyuan has been imprisoned in the dungeon, and the fake Li Siyuan has been here, learning his every move in daily life.
He finally realized that An Dongjun didn't kill him only because he wanted to keep him to provide the fake Li Siyuan with a chance to learn his daily living habits. He thought that by the time the fake Li Siyuan finished his studies, it would be his time to die.
Now in Tongwenguan, the only one who was relatively loyal to him, Lao Liu, was beaten and thrown into the prison next to him.
Several former leaders of Tongwenguan had defected to the State of Qi. If my guess was correct, Li Cunren and his men should have returned to the State of Jin to reorganize their forces.
There is no possibility of a comeback. Now he just prays that Anton-jun will spare his life when he has used him up. He doesn't ask for much, just to be alive.
However, An Dongjun only glanced at him and looked away, then came to the fake Li Siyuan and asked, "Yard, how is the progress?"
Yes, this fake Li Siyuan is none other than Sanqianyuan.
When he heard Anton Jun's words, the corners of his mouth twitched. After coming back from Jieliang, Anton Jun always called him "yard".
Although there is nothing wrong with this title, why do I feel so uncomfortable?
However, despite complaining in his heart, he still replied respectfully:
"Sir, it will take about five days for me to fully understand Li Siyuan's living habits."
Anton Jun did not doubt the efficiency of Sanqianyuan. After all, in terms of disguise, he dared to say that he was second to none in the Central Plains, and no one dared to claim to be the first.
"That's good. Once you're done, leave for Taiyuan immediately. Li Cunren and his men have already gone ahead. You will then cooperate with them. The Jin State will be handed over to you.
Also, the marriage is a matter of great importance. When you arrive in Taiyuan, you will immediately go and persuade Li Siyuan's third daughter, Princess Yongning, to persuade Li Maozhen to accept your proposal."
This is what An Dongjun and Li Maozhen said. Marrying Princess Yongning would help speed up their pace of annexing Jin.
Li Maozhen had no objection to this.
Marriage alliances were very common in that era. Not to mention the distant past, just a few years ago, didn’t Meng Zhixiang marry Li Keyong’s daughter?
And let’s not talk about Jin State for now. When Qi State becomes strong in the future, those small princes will be eager to send their daughters to Li Maozhen.
So why do they do this? Isn't it just for love?
As long as I can establish a relationship with Li Maozhen, I can’t guarantee that the future will be good, but at least I can guarantee that it won’t be too bad.
After watching Sanqianyuan imitating Li Siyuan's practice here, An Dongjun left again.
After he left here, he happened to meet Shi Yao who was leaving the prison with the fake Li.
Anton-Jun looked at the two people, one in front and one behind, and said with a smile: "Have you thought about it?"
While the fake Li was hesitating, Shi Yao bowed to him and said, "Sir, he has decided to stay with me for the time being and study at the Hanlin Academy."
During the Tang Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy served as the emperor's confidential agency and was responsible for the secretariat functions of the Tang emperor.
Today, the State of Qi still uses the system of the Tang Dynasty, but now there is only Shi Yao, the president of the Hanlin Academy.
It's okay for the fake Li to go to her to study, since he won't have access to any top secrets anyway.
"It's good to set a goal for yourself first."
Anton-Jun pondered for a moment and looked at Fake Li: "Since you have decided to start a new life, you should stop using the name Xingyun. You need to have one of your own."
After hearing this, fake Li's eyes lit up again. A name for himself? But he didn't know how to choose one.
Shi Yao saw the embarrassment of the fake Li and chuckled, "Hearing what you said, sir, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Oh~ I'll forget it. I don't think he will be shy in front of a girl. How about letting the girl take it?"
Anton Jun quickly waved his hands, saying that he and the fake Li did not have much in common, so he would not get involved in such matters.
But Shi Yao is different.
You know, the fake Li has been in prison these days. When Shi Yao came today, he followed her obediently.
The atmosphere between the two is obviously much better than his own. Shi Yao is the one who comes up with the name, and I believe the fake Li is also very willing.
After hearing what the two said, the fake Li also looked expectantly at Shi Yao.
Shi Yao held her chin and lowered her eyebrows, then looked at the fake Li: "Li Qichen, how is it?"
When the fake Li heard the name, his eyes lit up. After repeating it to himself a few times, he nodded: "Okay! From now on, I will be called Qi Chen, Li Qi Chen!"
Shi Yao was currently busy with government affairs, so the three of them just chatted for a few minutes before parting again.
......
The next day, in Dongjun Mansion, the side room.
After returning to Fengxiang, Chi Meng, Hou Qing and Ying Gou lived together in the guest room of An Dongjun's house. They all knew each other, so there was nothing wrong with living together.
Today, Anton-jun came here to tell Chi Meng that he would rush to Raojiang later.
"Xiao Meng, your sister the Empress and I have already agreed to get married in Fengxiang in a month. Going to Raojiang to rescue King Kui will be delayed for some time."
Chi Meng lived here, so he naturally knew these things.
Although she wanted to go back quickly to save her father, Anton-jun and the empress had just reunited and were about to get married.
How could I have the nerve to ask him to give up his marriage and accompany me back to Raojiang to save his father?
As for the others, Hou Guoguo as An Guoguo's disciple, Sister Miao as the younger one, and several others including Li Xingyun, all have close relationships with An Guoguo, so they all need to be present on the wedding day.
"It doesn't matter. An Guoguo can deal with the marriage first, and it won't be too late later."
However, there was actually more than just this reason, because just yesterday, when she had just returned to Fengxiang, she received a letter from You Chuan.
In the letter, he mentioned that King Qi was safe and sound and told her not to worry.
Although she was once angry because You Chuan Guo did not help her father, she believed that You Chuan Guo would not lie to her about such a thing because of her trust in her childhood sweetheart.
"That's good."
Anton Jun also received a letter from You Chuan, in which he mentioned that according to his clues, he saw the people of Raojiang and King Kui being imprisoned in the Dugong dungeon.
Now You Chuan, as the junior priest, has successfully contacted King Kui.
Although he learned from the fake Li that Du Gong returned to Raojiang early because he was afraid of him, he was not worried.
Because if he had not misjudged You Chuan's ability, with the strength of him, King Kui, and King Kui's former subordinates, it would not be easy for Lord Du to capture them again. They should be able to hold on until the end of his marriage.
Of course, the greatest confidence still lies in the Twelve Caves. As long as the Twelve Caves are there, it will be difficult for the Poison Lord to make a comeback in Raojiang. After all, he does not have the Mother Gu of the God of War now.
