Chapter 155 Song Nanyao Arrives in the Capital
Li Youran let 120 secret guards into the yard. Fortunately, the yard was big enough.
You can get whatever you want. Li Youran ran to his room and conjured up one hundred and twenty sets of invisible cloaks and one hundred and twenty sets of sachets.
He took out another invisibility pill, which allowed him to become invisible anytime and anywhere. He also took out 120 loyalty pills and put them in a porcelain bottle.
Li Youran came out of the room and came in front of the secret guards.
Let Hanyan and Zhuyao distribute them.
Old man Li, Old lady Cheng, Li's father and others, the whole family stood in front of the main hall and watched these people.
"You have a loyalty pill and ten invisibility pills in your hands. You can take them out when necessary. There is also an invisibility cloak, which can protect you from swords and arrows. The sachet is for mosquitoes. You can try it." Li Youran explained how to use the things that were distributed.
His eyes fell on everyone's face. The one hundred and twenty secret guards knew the use of these things, so they took the Loyalty Pill first. The color of the Loyalty Pill was dark brown, while the Invisibility Pill was red, which was easy to distinguish.
One hundred and twenty secret guards knelt down and saluted Li Youran, "Your subordinates greet the young master."
"Don't worry about it. If you run out of invisibility pills, you can ask Hanyan for some. Don't be reluctant to use them. They can save your life at the critical moment." Li Youran said loudly, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth like a big boss.
Li Youran assigned twenty people each to protect the safety of his eldest brother and second brother, which was equivalent to forty people. He then assigned another twenty people to his third brother, leaving sixty people to be dispatched.
Li Yuanbo, Li Kangze and Li Heming looked at their sister with gratitude.
"Eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, you can each pick two out of the sixty people to be your personal attendants and provide open protection." Li Youran walked up to the three brothers and let them choose for themselves.
Li Yuanbo randomly pointed out two people and asked, "What are your names?"
"We don't have names, we all have code names. My code name is Twenty-Seven." A young secret guard shook his head. Some of them were orphans, some were once beggars, and they didn't have names of their own.
Li Yuanbo frowned, "Let me give you names! Let's call you Mu Qing and Mu Chen!"
"Thank you, master, for giving me a name." The secret guard named Mu Qing bowed his head slightly.
Now Mu Qing and Mu Chen are Li Yuanbo's official guards.
Li Kangze also selected two male secret guards, "Let's call you Tianze and Tianxu!"
Tianze and Tianxu bowed to Li Kangze together.
Li Heming was the last one to choose. He chose a male secret guard and a female secret guard. "Just call you Si Yin and Si Yang!"
After the three brothers finished choosing, there were fifty-four people left.
Li Youran assigned twenty secret guards to each of his grandparents, and also assigned twenty secret guards to his father and mother.
Li Youran knew that their daily life was taken care of by maids and servants in the palace, and these people were only there to protect the safety of their family.
There are still fourteen secret guards left, so he keeps them for himself.
Li Youran also asked Han Yan to distribute a pill that could cure all kinds of poisons and to carry it with her. She also gave one to Meiying and Yueying.
The secret guards put on invisibility cloaks and hid in the dark.
After dinner in the evening, everyone went to bed early.
Early in the morning, Li Youran sat at the table waiting for dinner.
As the family was having breakfast, they heard Father Li say, "Bo'er, are you going to take the Tongsheng exam?"
"Yes, Dad, the teacher has already said that there are not many days left." Li Yuanbo looked up and answered while eating the rice in the bowl.
Father Li nodded to show that he understood.
After finishing breakfast, Li Youran stretched out in the yard, looking at the azure blue sky, and exclaimed happily: "Time flies so fast, it's already May without me noticing!"
After enjoying her breakfast, she couldn't wait to go to her elder brother Li Yuanbo's study.
She walked to the door and knocked gently. Soon, the door opened and it was Mu Chen who opened it.
Seeing Li Youran, he smiled and stepped aside to let her in.
When Li Youran stepped into the room, he saw his elder brother sitting at the desk, copying something attentively.
She walked closer out of curiosity and found that what her elder brother copied was the same as before, all books.
"Brother, you don't have to work so hard. We can think of other ways to make money." Li Youran said as he stared at the brush in his brother's hand. He saw the tip of the brush dancing on the paper, leaving lines of neat and beautiful handwriting.
Li Yuanbo stopped writing and looked up at Li Youran. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm smile: "Ran'er, although these copying jobs don't make much money, they are enough to make a living. Besides, I also like reading and writing, and I can take this opportunity to improve my knowledge level."
After hearing what his elder brother said, Li Youran couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart.
She knew that her elder brother was diligent and studious, and had always worked hard to study, hoping that one day he would be able to pass the imperial examination and change his destiny.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but encourage her brother: "Brother, you will definitely pass the exam to become a scholar! Believe in yourself!"
Li Yuanbo smiled slightly to express his gratitude, and then he continued to lower his head and concentrate on copying.
Li Youran stood aside, quietly watching his elder brother writing seriously.
Suddenly, Li Youran remembered something and asked, "Brother, when are we going to take the Tongsheng exam?"
Li Yuanbo replied without even looking up, "Seven days later. If you pass this exam, you can become a scholar. The one held by the county magistrate before has already been passed successfully."
Li Youran nodded thoughtfully, then turned and left the room.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her elder brother could pass the examination for the title of Tongsheng smoothly and realize his dream.
Three days later, no one came to assassinate him. The eldest and second brothers had gone to school, and the third brother and Li Shun had also gone to the martial arts hall.
That day Li Youran went to the town to see how the renovation of the pharmacy was going.
After some observation, I found that the repair was very good and the pharmacy would be open for business soon.
...the imperial palace.
Song Nanyao arrived in the capital early in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the capital, he saw a familiar figure, it was Song Beizhe, the emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom.
In front of the city gate, a figure dressed in civilian clothes stood quietly.
That was the emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom, who was waiting for the return of his beloved son.
When a carriage with the prince's flag appeared in the distance, the emperor's heart beat faster.
His eyes were fixed on the carriage, revealing an anticipation and excitement that was difficult to conceal.
As the carriage got closer, the emperor couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but he quickly restrained his impulse and stopped where he was.
The carriage finally arrived in front of the city gate. The curtain was lifted and the young Crown Prince Yan Feng jumped out.
After showing the prince's jade pendant to the guards at the city gate, he quickly turned back to the carriage and reached out to help another figure down - it was Song Nanyao.
Song Nanyao had already noticed that his father came to greet them in casual clothes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He jumped off the carriage without hesitation, walked to the emperor, knelt on one knee, and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am back."
The emperor hurriedly bent down, helped Song Nanyao up with both hands, tears glistening in his eyes.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" he murmured to himself, with a slight tremor in his voice.
Then he took Song Nanyao's hand and got on the carriage together.
In the carriage, the father and son sat opposite each other. The emperor looked at his son with great joy, as if he wanted to remember every detail about him.
However, Song Nanyao stared ahead expressionlessly, his face still maintaining his usual stern look.
