Chapter 418(1/2)
Everyone learned from Li Rong that Gao Ruiguang was actually the number two person in Dali, which really surprised everyone.
No matter what Miao Bacai thought, she didn't understand how this figure who was marginalized in the Gao family suddenly climbed so high.
"According to the seniority of the Gao family, it should be "Lian" now, right?" Miao Bacai asked Li Rong, "Shouldn't the number two person in Dali be Gao Liantai? How did he become Gao Ruiguang with the word Rui?
"Gao Liantai is ill," Li Rong said. "The illness is quite serious, and several brothers are staying at home. Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali, always thinks about becoming a monk, and Gao Ruiguang is proficient in Buddhism, so he is highly regarded.
.Gao Fang is getting older, and he basically can’t control much... So the actual No. 2 figure now is Gao Ruiguang. I came in person this time, probably not to play football, but to meet with the emperor and leave a good impression."
Li Rong talked and sighed.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Uh..." Li Rong was hesitant to speak. Li Yan laughed and asked him, "Did you bet on the wrong thing?"
Miao Bacai also glanced at him, "Has all the money been spent on Gao Liantai?"
Li Rong was a little embarrassed, "Gao Liantai was in good health before, but he suddenly fell ill for some reason, and started to thank guests behind closed doors. I always felt a little strange."
"It's not like Gao Liantai doesn't have brothers, so he just gave it up to Gao Ruiguang?" Li Yan felt it was unreasonable, and asked Li Rong, "The king of your family will not waste so much money in vain, right?"
Li Rong looked at Zhan Zhao Bai Yu Tang, and then at Li Yan Miao Ba Cai.
Although the Prince of Xixia was always bullied, he was not stupid, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with Gao Ruiguang?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't say anything. Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "If you're not interested, I can ask someone else."
After saying that, she made a gesture to wave to Yeluqi.
"Alas..." Li Rong quickly moved a step aside, blocking Yeluqi's view, and said to Li Yan with a smile, "Then I must have some benefits, right?"
Miao Bacai said, "Isn't this helping you recover your losses? You don't want to waste so much money, right?"
Li Rong thought for a while and felt that it was still worth it, so he nodded and asked, "Find a place to sit down and chat?"
Li Yan gestured to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang next to her.
Zhan Zhao pointed to a seat on the auditorium and took Li Rong upstairs. Miao Bacai was a little interested and followed.
Everyone else went to watch the children watch football.
The White Ghost King was originally walking with us, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped and stood on the roadside, looking left and right, as if he was looking for something.
Li Yan saw it and walked over.
Standing next to the White Ghost King, Li Yan took a look and found nothing unusual. Li Yan asked, "Old man, what's the matter?"
Yao Changtian turned to look at Li Yan, pointed at his nose, "Weird smell."
Li Yan smiled. There were all children in this place. Although it was quite cold, everyone was sweating from kicking, so the smell shouldn't be unpleasant.
The White Ghost King tilted his head, as if he couldn't figure out something.
Li Yan also smelled it. The stadium smelled of everything, but of course the most common smell was earthy.
The White Ghost King turned around, "Where's that cat with a good nose?"
Li Yan pointed at Zhan Zhao on the viewing platform.
Yao Changtian went up with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Zhan Zhao and the others sat down, they saw Yao Changtian also arriving.
Bai Yutang moved a chair for his uncle.
Yao Changtian looked at Li Rong with narrowed eyes and moved his nose, as if smelling something on him.
Li Rong didn't dare to express his anger and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nervously - scared!
Zhan Zhao was also quite puzzled.
Bai Yutang made his uncle sit down and poured him a cup of tea. The fourth son moved his buttocks to the side, next to the White Ghost King, and peeled oranges for him.
Zhan Zhao motioned to Li Rong—say it!
"Oh." Li Rong said, "I am not responsible for the contact between Dali and the Gao family. I heard the news... It seems that the Gao family is at a critical moment of internal fighting. Gao Liantai was originally strong, but for some reason he suddenly lost power and fell ill.
It's more like an excuse, as if you are hiding something."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned - what are you hiding from?
"And the most subtle thing is Gao Ruiguang!" Li Rong continued, "It stands to reason that now is a critical moment. He has come all the way to Kaifeng before he has gained the power. This is unreasonable. Look at it.
Who are the people who come to lead the team? They are basically idlers..."
Li Rong pointed at himself rather self-deprecatingly, "Where can someone with great power or busy fighting for position come to lead children to play football?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both asked him, "What do you think it is because of?"
"He probably came to Kaifeng in person because he had something very important to do!" Li Rong speculated, "The Gao family had no foundation in the Song Dynasty. Who made Gao Fang make the wrong bet back then? The Song Dynasty was more supportive.
Duan's, and the current situation in Dali is the one you are most satisfied with. The emperor will not support any changes. The internal struggle for power among powerful forces like the Gao family is to shake the foundation of Dali, and the emperor will definitely not agree to it.
.Since he can’t get any benefit, why would he come?”
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned - indeed, what was Gao Ruiguang doing here at this time?
"What else?" Li Rong continued, "It's a bit weird that Gao Liantai claimed to be ill and went into hiding! Gao Ruiguang led a team to Kaifeng. The rest of the Gao family neither supported nor opposed it. No one is in Dali anymore. It is supposed to be a good time to regain the lost ground.
Right? Everyone is still squinting. If they really feel that there is danger, the Gao family should be the first to seek help from Xixia and me! Isn’t it just Gao Ruiguang? Get rid of his trivial matters, but the Gao family doesn’t even
Say anything...it's very confusing anyway."
"Does Gao Ruiguang have other brothers and sisters?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Li Rong shook his head, "He had a brother who was said to have died many years ago."
"How did he die?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked into Li Rong's words and observed, feeling that he didn't seem to know about Gao Ruiyuan.
"I really don't know... nothing happened to their family before." Li Rong shook his head.
Neither Zhan Zhao nor Bai Yutang spoke, and Li Rong felt that he didn't know much.
Zhan Zhao took a sip from the cup, suddenly looked around, stretched out his hand to touch his nose, and muttered, "What does it taste like..."
"Did you smell it too?" Yao Changtian asked immediately.
Zhan Zhao looks at the White Ghost King.
Bai Yutang and Li Yan were both confused - what does it smell like?
Li Rong also smelled himself, "What does it smell like?"
"Smell." Xiao Sizi said.
"Fragrance?" Li Rong was curious, "What kind of fragrance?"
"Ah..." Zhan Zhao remembered what it smelled like and touched Bai Yutang with his arm.
Fifth Master looked at him.
Zhan Zhao winked at him - it smelled like Mo Xin Vine!
The Fifth Master carefully distinguished it... Indeed, there was a very light fragrance. When they smelled the Mo Xin Vine before, there was a very strong smell, but after dyeing the fabric, it will become a light fragrance, which is indeed the same as
This is somewhat similar, but seems to be slightly different.
Bai Yutang looked at his uncle with some doubts - cats have good noses, which is understandable, but why is his uncle so sensitive to this smell?
The White Ghost King didn't know what he was thinking at this time, so he just sat there with his head slightly tilted, looking at the stadium outside.
The little fourth son reached out, broke off a piece of orange and stuffed it into his mouth.
Only then did the old man move, eating an orange, tilting his head to the other side, staring ahead in a daze.
Li Rong swallowed and looked directly at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang next to him - this old man is really scary... He has a demonic air.
The fifth master glanced at him sideways, and the fourth son also pouted - who are you talking about?
Li Rong quickly smiled and handed over an orange - no, it was fairy energy! Fairy energy!
At this time, I saw Yeluqi at the intersection.
Yeluqi was still very concerned about what Li Rong and Zhan Zhao were talking about, so he kept standing at the intersection and watching. He happened to bump into Gao Ruiguang. The two of them said hello and stood chatting for a while.
Zhan Zhao asked Li Rong, "Does Yeluqi also know Gao Ruiguang?"
Li Rong shook his head, "We must have just met recently. Liao is not very interested in Dali. However, when Gao Ruiguang first arrived in Kaifeng a while ago, he visited the Liao Kingdom's post house."
"I only went to Liaoguoguanyi and not to your place?" Miao Bacai was a little curious.
"I came a few days later than Yeluqi. The people at Guanyi said that he had been here before. He heard that he left a gift and left before I arrived." Li Rong said casually.
"What gift?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Just gold and silver cloth and the like. I didn't take a closer look. It seems that a lot of brocade was given. The brocade in Dali is quite good." Li Rong put his hands in his hands and said, "It seems that I brought a lot this time. Maybe I will too."
Please pay some tribute."
"ah……"
As Li Rongzheng was talking, the White Ghost King suddenly let out a soft "Ah", as if he remembered something.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him.
