old attack difficult
Chapter 43
"Why bother, the queen is not at fault." Chang An walked in and said to Xue Yi who was buried in the book.
Xue Yi looked up at Chang An with a persistent expression:
"I already feel guilty for keeping you in the palace. If I can't even do this, I will really humiliate you." Seeing Chang An frowning, he said quickly:
"Don't worry, I will arrange her properly."
Chang An nodded hesitantly.
Xue Yi patted the place next to him and raised his eyebrows at Chang An, Chang An smiled and sat beside Xue Yi, hugged him and said:
"I didn't expect that I could also sit on the dragon chair one day."
Xue Yi smiled at him, wrapped his arms around his waist, and said to Chang'an that he had already thought about it before:
"There is nothing wrong with the court at the moment. The sixth brother wrote to say that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River just invited you to go for a visit. You also happened to pass by Ziyun Pass to worship your master." Speaking of General Mo Bai, Xue Yi had a guilty expression on his face.
The smile on Chang'an's face disappeared instantly after hearing Mo Bai's name, and he nodded to Xueyi with a serious face.
Xue Yi caressed Chang'an's face with prominent cheekbones. There are some knots in Chang'an's heart that Chang'an can only untie by himself, and this knot must also be untied. He gave Chang'an enough time, because he believes that time is the best medicine for wounds. Heal all wounds, just as Chang'an's waist, which was always hung with wine gourds in the past, is now empty.
Xue Yi warmly comforted Chang An:
"Let's stay a little longer this time. Ziyun Pass has built a Loyalty Shrine. You can move the general's god into it."
Chang An nodded.
Liu Su who came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and returned to the palace looked anxious, contrary to her usual majesty of a queen, she became kind to her servants.
She sat alone in front of the vanity mirror for a long time, and finally a desperate expression flashed across her face, and she called the dowry girl softly:
"Chiba."
Qianye opened the curtain and walked in front of Liu Su, and asked respectfully:
"The empress is called a servant girl."
"Qianye..." Liu Su called Qianye's name and took out a letter from a gold-painted red sandalwood box at hand and explained:
"I will let you go home in these two days. If you hear any bad news from the master or me in the future, you will go to the person mentioned in this letter." Retire all the irrationality when you first came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace Emotions, Liu Su's words became calm now.
Qianye hurriedly fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Liu Su looked at Qianye who was kneeling in front of her, his dark eyes showed a little coldness, it's okay if nothing happens, and everyone should not feel better if something happens.
Three days later, Xueyi at the gate of the Hougong sent Chang'an to Jiangnan with Meng Zixuan.
"Be careful on the way here." Xue Yi personally put on a cloak for Chang'an and told him carefully.
In front of everyone, Chang'an couldn't get too close, so he nodded and said with a smile:
"The younger brother will stay with the sixth brother for a few more days, so don't worry about it, brother."
Xue Yi raised her eyebrows but said nothing:
"Just go back before Qixi Festival."
Chang An's heart skipped a beat and he nodded.
Tanabata is indeed a special day.
After seeing off Chang'an at the gate of the palace, on the way back to the Zhengde Hall, Xueyi told Wei Jie:
"The results of Dali Temple should come out."
Five days later, the verdict of Liu Xun's case was announced. Liu Xun's main criminal was killed in Caishikou, Liu Yun was exiled in Yazhou, and the empress prayed for Wei and went to Fushan Temple to practice. The night officials were trembling.
Empress Dowager Liu closed her eyes and muttered after hearing the verdict of Dali Temple:
"Sure enough, he is a good son of the Ai family!" From then on, he closed the door and thanked the guests.
When Liu Su left the palace, the queen's palace was in a mess. She hated Xueyi bitterly, and was dragged towards Zhengde Palace and yelled:
"Xueyi, you lied to me, you will die!, you will not end well!"
Liu Su's sharp and mournful voice pierced through the cold palace wall to the ears of Xue Yi who was walking not far away. Wei Jie and the court ladies and eunuchs around him looked at each other and dared not speak. Xue Yi looked at the clump of peonies indifferently .
Qixi Festival is coming soon, how should he surprise Chang'an.
Jiangnan Dao Sun Wen couldn't help frowning when he received the news of Liu Xun's verdict sent back by Xue Yi.
Chang Hui was sitting by the window reading a book, he knew the result without reading the letter:
"Has Master Liu been executed?" Chang Hui kept his eyes on the scroll, still asking Sun Wen.
Sun Wen didn't understand, turned around, tilted his head and asked Changhui:
"How do you know? The emperor told you?"
Changhui smiled and shook his head, then raised his eyes to look at Sun Wen:
"Nowadays, the land equalization reform in the central government has re-measured the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Under the general environment, even if I was found out and seized tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, I would be killed. Otherwise, the reform will become empty talk again, and the emperor will not be convinced."
Sun Wen sighed:
"Even so..." Sun Wen didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Changhui looked up at Sun Wen and said with a smile:
"What? Scared?"
Sun Wen sat next to Changhui.
Changhui put down his book and hugged Sun Wen with a smile:
"It's no accident that the emperor is planning for Changshan County King."
"You mean that the emperor prefers the king of Changshan County?" Although Sun Wen was not surprised, he also felt a little unspeakable.
Chang Hui stroked the hair on the back of Sun Wen's head and moved closer to kissing Sun Wen, his voice hoarse:
"The emperor has no sons, and the king of Changshan County has been raised by his side since he was a child. After a hundred years, the king of Changshan County will probably take over the throne." After speaking, he stood up, picked up Sun Wen and walked straight to the bed.
"Looking at it now, the emperor has a deep affection for His Highness the Eighteenth Highness." The curtain of the bed was lowered, and a faint voice came from inside.
Then I heard another person gasp and say:
"Others are fine, I'm worried that the emperor's method will bring disaster sooner or later... Let's not talk about them..."
Chang'an left the capital and went straight to Ziyun Pass to re-bury General Mo Bai.
On the way to Ziyunguan, Zhang Chao carefully noticed that Chang An was becoming more and more taciturn and always lost his mind. Several times he saw Chang An reaching out to touch the wine gourd around his waist but found nothing.
In the station where they stayed, Zhang Chao waved to the postman who brought him dinner.
Yicheng hurried over and only heard Zhang Chao say:
"Prepare a wine bag for me before leaving tomorrow, and fill it with wine."
Yicheng nodded respectfully.
In the evening, Zhang Chao patrolled the post station as usual. It was already late at night and Zhang Chao had to go back to rest after his inspection. When passing by the courtyard of the post station, Zhang Chao stopped when he saw a person standing motionless under the courtyard.
The moonlight shines softly on Chang An through the courtyard, and Chang An stands there with his eyes closed, motionless, surrounded by bushes of flowers rustling by the night wind.
Zhang Chao sighed, and after returning to his room, he spread out the paper and wrote:
"Food is tasteless, and sleep is getting less and less."
After arriving at Ziyun Pass, the bones of General Mo Bai were picked up outside the city and brought into Ziyun Pass on an auspicious day, where they were placed in the Temple of Loyalty and Justice.
Chang'an and others rested in Ziyunguan for three days, and when the auspicious day came, a group of people were led by the local county government to the Loyalty Temple.
Ziyunguan has changed from the past to the desolate city. There are people coming and going in the city, and caravans pulling horses and camels can be seen everywhere.
It was the first time Meng Zixuan came to Saibei to see that everything was new. He pointed to the camels carrying sacks on the street and asked Changan:
"Master, what kind of horse is this? Why are there two bulges on its back?"
Behind Chang'an were more than a dozen personal guards of the Imperial Army, the leader of which was Zhang Chao, the commander of the Imperial Army next to Xue Yi.
The guards on horseback burst into laughter when they heard Meng Zixuan's words.
Changan came back to his senses and wiped off the cold sweat on his palms as if nothing had happened, then shook his head and explained to Meng Zixuan:
"It's not a horse, it's called a camel. It's a kind of livestock commonly used in the Western Regions and Saibei.
Zhang Chao rushed forward to Chang'an and clasped his fists:
"Your Highness, the Loyalty Shrine is conveniently in front of you. The village elders and county guards are already waiting for Your Highness."
Chang An nodded expressionlessly, got off the horse, and told everyone behind him:
"Let's walk over, don't disturb the loyal souls underground." After finishing speaking, the soldiers dismounted neatly.
The lintel of the Loyalty Temple was tall, and the vermilion gate was open, and the three animal grains and wine were enshrined on the table outside the gate.
The county guard wore official uniforms and the elders of various ethnic groups in Ziyun Pass were waiting at the Loyalty Temple.The officers and soldiers held hands all around to prevent other people from crowding.
When the county guard saw Chang'an and the others arrived, he hurriedly brought a group of patriarchs out to welcome them:
"Congratulations to the Eighteenth Highness, Your Highness has come a long way and worked hard."
Chang An quickly helped the sheriff to salute the gray-haired old people behind him.
Chang'an's humble and respectful attitude won the favor of everyone in Ziyunguan.
The auspicious time has come, and the ritual officer sings.
The sun was shining brightly, and the firecrackers in his ears were shaking the sky. Chang'an watched the master's tablet covered with red cloth being held slowly into the Loyalty Temple. null.
He remembered that because of Xue Yi's obstruction, he had quit drinking for a long time.
"Your Highness." Zhang Chao called his name next to his ear, and stretched out his hand to hand him a wine bag. He thought for a while and shook his head to refuse, but his hands trembled even more.
He has already somewhat forgotten General Mo Bai's appearance, only in his mind he raised his head and looked at General Mo Bai when he was a child, the general stood against the light and couldn't see his face clearly.
When it was Chang'an's turn to lead the people to offer incense and three sacrifices, Chang'an staggered and knelt heavily on the ground, startling everyone.
Meng Zixuan and Zhang Chao hurried over to help Chang'an, but Chang'an refused.
He slowly picked up a jar of wine and walked forward on his knees:
"Master, go all the way!"
After Meng Zixuan and Zhang Chao backed away, even though Meng Zixuan didn't understand who the Divine General was, he still hesitated and asked Zhang Chao because of Chang'an's sad expression:
"Why did the general god die?"
Zhang Chao's face was expressionless, and he didn't answer Meng Zixuan's question.
The author has something to say: little angels, love must be expressed, come on, leave paw prints and let us hurt each other.cover face
☆, Wu Shi and Master Li outside the episode
The encounter between Young Master Li and Wu Shi in Tiantianxia was an inconspicuous event in their long lives at that time. Maybe they will only meet once in Tiantianxia in their whole life, and they will never see each other again in the future. intersection.
Wu Shi is still the commander-in-chief of the guards in front of the palace of the fourth rank of Zhengsi, an important place in the capital city of Gyeonggi.
Young master Li is still the young master of the Li family who is a flamboyant and flirtatious young master.
However, life is afraid of but.
When the Li family caravan arrived at Qilian Mountains, King Xianbei’s second son, Gu’er, got married. According to the custom, the Li family, as one of the families connected with trade inside and outside the customs, should carry out mutual trade with the local people in Xianbei and present gifts to the royal family of Xianbei.
When Young Master Li brought several principal persons in charge into King Xianbei's tent to meet King Xianbei, the eighteenth prince, as the representative of Emperor Wei of the Southern Dynasty, sat at the lower head of King Xianbei, and Wu Shi stood behind Chang'an, the eighteenth prince.
Wu Shi saw that young master Li's thin waist was wrapped in a navy blue cotton white robe, and young master Li was wearing a red sandalwood crown, which made his skin fairer. So fair.
The eighteenth prince Chang'an raised his glass to salute King Xianbei, then turned slightly and asked Wu Shi:
"Is this the young master of the Li family who helped you get rid of the Rouran people and return to Xianbei?"
Wu Shi nodded, and then his gaze slipped from Young Master Li's handsome profile to Young Master Li's narrow waist and upturned buttocks.
Chang'an thought of Xue Yi in the imperial capital, Xue Yi also had this romantic appearance, but was more dignified and graceful.
During the meeting, Young Master Li behaved properly and talked well. Even the eighteenth prince Chang'an lamented that Li's family has an extraordinary upbringing and raised such a good man.
At the end of the evening, Young Master Li was guided back to Wu Shi's tent by Wu Shi. Young Master Li wandered around in the tent, looking around, feeling around, and tsk-tsk:
"Brother Wu, you are still a court official of the fourth rank, so the cost of food and clothing is too low."
Wu Shi held two jars of wine in his hand and casually threw one jar to Young Master Li. Wu Shi didn't care about Young Master Li's teasing:
"It's because you live too fastidiously, which makes it seem like we're just getting by."
The two smiled at each other.
Wu Shi took Young Master Li out of the tent to drink. The starry sky on the grassland was so bright that the Milky Way could be seen.
Wu Shi and Young Master Li were lying on the grass. Not far from them was a fire with wormwood and some mosquito repelling herbs.
Young Master Li looked at the starry sky in the prairie with his arm resting on his pillow, listening to the sound of the wind and the neighing of the horse, he couldn't help but say:
"I'm going back when the exchange with Xianbei is over. I really envy you."
Wu Shi gulped down his wine and turned his head to look at Young Master Li's exceptionally bright eyes illuminated by the torch at night. For a moment, Wu Shi stared blankly at Young Master Li and asked:
"What do you envy us for? Envy us for licking blood on the knife edge or envy us for having a home and not being able to return?"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Li turned sideways to face Wu Shi, propped his head on the palm of his hand and looked at Wu Shi with a pair of hanging eyes blinking and blinking:
"I envy you for defending your home and country! Do you envy your loyalty on the battlefield!"
Wu Shi laughed and lay paralyzed on the grass:
"I think you read too many legendary novels in the market! How can we be as good as you say? In addition to patrolling every day, we also practice and stand guard. If something happens, we rush to the front to block it. When we have meritorious service, it will be our turn at the end. "
Young Master Li murmured:
"That's better than me. I was forced to get married by my father every day in Hangzhou. I don't know how many girls in Hangzhou city are worth a thousand." After talking about it, she sighed a long time.
Wu Shi couldn't tell what it was like to hear it, and he also put his arms behind his head and looked at the starry sky faintly:
"My parents died early and I was brought up by my uncle. If you want to listen to my father's nagging, you can't hear it."
Young Master Li sat up abruptly and looked at Wu Shi with joy on his face:
"Hey! That's great! You will be my father's son, and I will be a soldier for you."
The melancholy in Wu Shi's heart was completely disturbed by Young Master Li. He didn't understand why Young Master Li didn't want to go back to Hangzhou so much:
"Isn't it just forcing you to start a family? Why don't you!"
Young Master Li covered his cheek with his palm and expressed helplessness:
"You don't know, I really don't care about women. Even if I marry someone else's girl, I will hurt her."
Wu Shi's expression became indescribable after hearing what Young Master Li said, but it was a bit intriguing. It was the first time he heard someone so blatantly talk about bad women.
"Are you a broken sleeve?"
Young Master Li is in a hurry:
"You are the broken sleeve!"
After hearing this, Wu Shi drank a little bit of unnaturalness on his face.
Young Master Li stretched out his hand to grab the wine jar from his side and took a few sips, then fell silent, closed his eyes and frowned deeply.
Wu Shi glanced at Young Master Li, lying on the ground stretched out his arms to cover Young Master Li's eyes, the delicate and warm skin made Wu Shi close his eyes.The unique smell on Wu Shi's body also made Young Master Li's heart startled through his palm, and his heart beat a little faster.
There was music coming from the tent in the distance, singing about what made the warrior stop, what made the goshawk fold its wings...
In the following days, Wu Shi took Young Master Li to visit many unique places in Xianbei. Wu Shi took Young Master Li and followed the herdsmen to hunt wolves. Young Master Li insisted on using a snow wolf skin as a scarf. Wu Shi stared Young Master Li, while wearing a hood, drove the wind and rain to make a scarf for him to kill the snow wolf.
Wu Shi took Young Master Li to the forest to trap wild animals. Young Master Li insisted that the little animals that lost their mothers were very pitiful, and released the female beast that Wu Shi had caught all day.
Young Master Li took Wu Shi to watch the bonfire party where Xianbei men and women shared their hearts and sang love songs. Young Master Li’s beautiful hanging eyes were on the beautiful and enthusiastic Xianbei girl. Turn around.
Seeing the hardships of the Xianbei herdsmen, Young Master Li took the initiative to lower the price of Li’s goods by [-]%. Keeping a low profile and doing good deeds, even the servants of the Li family were surprised. They didn't expect the young master, who was always rich, to have such an unknown side.Only Li Ze, who has been taking care of him personally, is not surprised.
Wu Shi looked at the handsome and noble Young Master Li who was wearing brocade clothes and jade clothes not far away, and he naturally helped an old herdsman carry the horse manure that had been cleaned into wooden buckets into the car on the way, not feeling dirty and smelly.Wu Shi actually thought that Young Master Li had always been so cute, but people were always distracted by his background and appearance, and never seriously understood what he was like inside.
In Xianbei, Wu Shi told Young Master Li about the anecdotes inside and outside the imperial city, and Young Master Li told Wu Shi about the helplessness in the business field of a wealthy mansion, a general who looks calm but is sullen but a playboy who looks unscrupulous but calm inside. The more you play, the more speculative you become.
Not long after, the Eighteenth Prince Chang'an returned to Beijing after solving the Xianbei crisis. Wu Shi, as the governor of the guards in front of the palace guarding the Eighteenth Prince's safety, naturally had to return to Beijing together, but Young Master Li and his family were in charge of the exchange with Xianbei. There was still half a month to go, so the two had to bid farewell on the Xianbei Grassland.
On the way back to Beijing after leaving Xianbei, the eighteenth prince Chang'an took the reins of the horse and turned to ask Wu Shi with a smile:
"Reluctant to part with that young master of the Li family?"
It was rare for Wu Shi to be silent. He said to the Eighteenth Prince's half-smile eyes:
"Returning to Your Highness, I like the temperament of Young Master Li very much."
The Eighteenth Prince laughed:
"What are you talking about, your flamboyant temperament?"
Wu Shi sternly corrected:
"It looks bluff and flashy, but inside it is very calm and thoughtful."
The Eighteenth Prince nodded:
"From the exchanges between Guanzhong and Xianbei, it can be seen that he is a caring person who is different from other aristocratic princes."
The Eighteenth Prince asked again:
"How old is this young master Li? Has he ever been married?"
Wu Shi was startled, and couldn't help blocking what the Eighteenth Prince might say for Young Master Li:
"I heard from him that Master Li seems to have arranged for Young Master Li's marriage in Hangzhou." Wu Shi replied neither humble nor overbearing.
The eighteenth prince laughed, and never said anything about Young Master Li's marriage. He knew what Wu Shi was thinking.
He also has someone he cares about in his heart, he knows the pain of not getting what he wants, and he also knows how outrageous a man's desire for monopoly is.
The grassland was very windy. Wu Shi wore armor and rode forward on horseback leading the team. It was already evening, the blue sky was dyed red during the day, and the red tassels of Wu Shi's helmet fluttered in the wind.
What echoed in Wu Shi's ears were the words that Master Li said with a smile when he said goodbye in the daytime:
"Don't let it go, there will be a period later."
He heard his heart respond silently:
"There will be a period later."
,
The rain in Yunnan has always been very heavy recently. Zhang Yi's rebel army took advantage of the terrain and hid in the old forest when the Eighteenth Prince brought people to fight. Wu Shi asked the Eighteenth Prince to be a vanguard officer A group of people followed the rebels and also got into the vast mountain.
The climate in the mountains is completely different from the climate outside. The towering old trees are full of miasma in the forest that does not see the sun all the year round, and strange poisonous insects, mosquitoes and snakes can be seen everywhere. There is no trace of the rebels, but they have been lost in the mountains.
When Wu Shi saw Young Master Li again, he was still covered in blood, blood was slowly flowing from the blade of the sword that was stuck on the ground, while Young Master Li was still flamboyantly flamboyant, shaking the fan coquettishly in his hand.
"Mingxuan?"
"Brother Wu."
When Wu Shi fell down, his eyes turned dizzy, but he was surprisingly relieved.
Young Master Li looked at the fainted man in front of him, raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to signal Li Ze behind him, and pointed to the fainted soldiers in front of him:
"Bring them back."
The two of them never met each other in Xianbei last time. By the time Master Li returned to Hangzhou with the caravan, Wu Shi had already sent troops to Rouran with the Eighteenth Prince Chang'an.
This time, the Li family made a lot of money outside the customs. Han people always have a huge advantage in doing business with foreigners. Master Li rubbed Young Master Li's face and said distressedly:
"tanned!"
But Young Master Li was thinking about Wu Shi who had returned to Xianbei, so he asked his father solemnly:
"Father, do we have a caravan going to Rouran Xianbei soon?"
Master Li touches his beard:
"Recently, the imperial court used troops there, so we won't go there for the time being."
Young Master Li is in a hurry:
"It is precisely because the imperial court uses troops that we can profit in the past!"
Master Li pumped Young Master Li's ass for a lesson:
"We are businessmen! We are not desperadoes!"
Young Master Li remained silent.
In order to prevent his father from urging him to start a family, Young Master Li, who returned to Hangzhou, continued to live a happy life, and there was even a rumor that Young Master Li had broken his sleeves in Hangzhou City.
Master Li angrily smacked Young Master Li's ass with a ruler, and Young Master Li yelled at his father while hiding:
"What's so good about getting married? What if I find a vicious woman with a kind face and an evil heart for my son?" After shouting these words, Young Master Li was suddenly startled, and he looked at Master Li with more sadness .
Master Li stood still and slowly put down the hand holding the ruler. Master Li sat down slowly, looked at Young Master Li and said:
"Still complaining about your father?"
Young Master Li shook his head and sat next to Master Li:
"Father, I didn't blame you, I was just afraid." I was afraid that the wife I would marry in the future would be like the little girl my father married back home.
Master Li touched Young Master Li's head as he did when he was a child. He didn't speak for a long time.
A few days later, Master Li made the decision to send a post to his family friend, Master Zhao. After talking about the two families getting together, he forced Master Li to invite Miss Zhao to visit the garden.
Young Master Li rolled his eyes secretly, Zhao Qinqin was his childhood sweetheart who he watched and grew up with, the two of them are so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar with each other.
In the Li Family Flower Hall, Zhao Qinqin and Young Master Li walked politely under the watchful eyes of their family members, and the other walked with lotuses every step of the way. As soon as they came out of everyone's sight, the two of them immediately showed their true colors. The sandalwood fan in Zhao Qinqin's hand shook quickly, She looked at Young Master Li who was also vigorously shaking her fan beside her, and said unwillingly:
"I used to live comfortably in the garden outside the city. When my father heard that you had returned to Hangzhou, he immediately brought me back. I hate it! It's too hot in the city!"
Young Master Li nodded and hung his eyes even more reluctantly:
"I don't even want to come back! Xianbei is so nice, cool and free! The girls are so enthusiastic."
Zhao Qinqin turned to him and asked:
"Then why don't you bring one back, lest your father keep urging you!"
Young Master Li glanced at her:
"I'm not willing to marry anyone we grew up with, let alone a girl from a foreign race who I've only met a few times!"
Zhao Qinqin lightly kicked Young Master Li's ass with her small embroidered shoes and raised her eyebrows:
"Boy, what's the matter? Is there someone you like?"
Young Master Li didn't hide, and made Zhao Qinqin kick happily. He frowned when he heard what Zhao Qinqin said, and he couldn't tell if he had it. know who.
A face wrinkled more and more.
Zhao Qinqin took Master Li to sit down in the gazebo and held his chin:
"We grew up together when we were young. You are the man I know best. If I don't marry you, who should I marry? The marriage of the two of us is a good result for your family and my family. Don't worry if you marry me, I will marry you." I'm at ease marrying you." The little girl looked at him with a sad voice.
Young Master Li sighed and touched the top of Zhao Qinqin's head:
"Qinqin, let me think again!" Birds and insects were singing in my ears, and the starry sky above my head was bright. The little girl he liked and grew up with was looking at him. He had been hiding for 20 years, but there was no other choice. .
That night, after Qinqin left, he sat alone on the veranda of the waterside pavilion for the first time, a lonely lamp was quietly burning beside him, and for the first time, Young Master Li's handsome face, which was always happy, was expressionless.
A year passed in a blink of an eye, and Qinqin knew that Young Master Li's temperament did not urge him to answer, and during the year when Wu Shi came back from Xianbei, Young Master Li left for Yunnan.
Before leaving, he left a letter to Qinqin:
"We will get married when I come back from Yunnan this time."
Qinqin looked at the letter and didn't know whether she was happy or unhappy. She looked out the window for another year of hot summer, and when the whole family was smiling, she was taken back to the house by the maid to make a wedding dress.
Not long after Young Master Li left, Wu Shi went to visit Li's house in a spirit of carrying gifts and dressing up.
The Li family is a big family, and Wu Shi, a military officer of the fourth rank, came to the door and was only accompanied by the butler to sit in the side hall.
Wu Shi was drinking tea and saw a servant outside the side hall wrapping the pillars of the house with red silk.
Wu Shi asked the butler:
"May I ask if there is a wedding going on at home?"
The housekeeper looked at Wu Shi with a smile:
"Yes, our young master is getting married! After so many years, this little ancestor is willing to get married."
Wu Shi's eyes were staring wide behind the teacup, his thin cheeks were tense, his thin lips were tightly pursed, he didn't know what to say, as far as he knew, the Li family had only one son.
Relax your fingers to make a clicking sound, and slowly put the teacup on the table beside you.
Wu Shi came out from Li's garden and led his horse along the street. The street was full of voices, but he didn't hear anything.
He knew that Young Master Li had a tricky mouth and was very particular about sending him a box of snacks given to him by the emperor, but he didn't know if he would be able to eat it when he came back from Yunnan.
Shortly after returning to the imperial capital from Hangzhou, Zhangyi in Yunnan united with local barbarians to proclaim himself king and rebelled against the Northern Wei Dynasty.
When Wu Shi opened his eyes, he saw the roof of the bamboo house, and the window next to it was not closed. The sun penetrated through the window and shone on Wu Shi's face, making him unable to keep his eyes open.
Wu Shi settled down and slowly got up from the bed, he could vaguely hear someone yelling outside the house.
Putting on his shoes, he opened the door and walked out. There was a lush bamboo forest. Not far from him, there was a handsome young man in a royal blue brocade robe and a silver crown sitting on a chair to check the pulse of a child.
That son's Fengshen Junyi has a face like a crown of jade, and a pair of hanging eyes are full of elegance.
For some reason, Wu Shi, who was originally happy, was suddenly very disappointed. His shaved cheeks were tense, and the veins on his forehead were protruding.
When Young Master Li saw Wu Shi coming out, he smiled and stood up and took two steps towards Wu Shi. Wu Shi said:
"Congratulations."
Young Master Li was puzzled.
Wu Shi didn't know why he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help it:
"Congratulations, you are getting married. With Miss Zhao."
The smile on Young Master Li's face disappeared immediately, and he nodded:
"Thank you."
Wu Shi looked at Young Master Li with dark eyes and said nothing. He actually wanted to ask Young Master Li, didn't you say you don't like women?
Silently took out an object wrapped in red cloth from her arms and handed it to Young Master Li.
Young Master Li looked at Wu Shi firmly and asked:
"A wedding gift?"
Wu Shi shook his head.
A smile appeared on Young Master Li's face, and he happily accepted it.
Young master Li and others set off from Hangzhou and traveled all the way to play in the mountains and rivers for half a year before taking them into Yunnan to Kunming.After saying hello to the steward in Kunming, I followed the team of merchants below into the old forests of Yunnan and shuttled through various hidden villages.
Young Master Li's enthusiasm has driven the enthusiasm of the fellows at work. Even Young Master Li asked his fellows to help the villagers in the village plant crops and repair houses, and they worked very hard one by one. The local villagers who were originally very exclusive liked Li very much. Master, say he is a good man.
As soon as the vanguard led by Wu Shi was ambushed by the rebels, Young Master Li got the news here.
Li Ze stood behind Young Master Li and looked at Young Master Li flipping through the account books:
"Master, we've stayed here for a while, shouldn't it be time to go to Agu's village?"
Young Master Li raised his eyes and was about to answer when he saw a villager running quickly with a hoe in the distance:
"Master, in the woods to the north of the cottage, I found a military officer surrounded by the Shenwu Army." Zhang Yi's rebels said that they were blessed by the gods for Tian Xingdao, so they called themselves the Shenwu Army.
A few days ago, Young Master Li learned that the imperial court sent the Eighteenth Prince to Yunnan to suppress Zhang Yi's rebels. Wu Shi is the military officer next to the Eighteenth Prince, and it is estimated that he will also follow the Eighteenth Prince to Yunnan.
With a heartbeat, with a smile on his face, he got up and threw away the account book and asked Li Ze to go and have a look, but Li Ze stopped him with his arm:
"Master, our merchants never get involved in wars! Besides, swords have no eyes."
Young Master Li raised his eyebrows:
"The sword has no eyes but I have it, and I won't bump into it!" As he spoke, he pushed away Li Ze's arm and called a few guys to follow the villagers. Li Ze shook his head and followed behind.
Originally, Young Master Li hid far away and just stood outside to watch, but his eyesight was so good that he saw the besieged Wu Shi standing in the middle at a glance, his body covered with blood.Immediately became anxious, pointed at Wu Shi and said to Li Ze:
"That's Wu Shi!"
Li Ze was surprised:
"General Wu?"
Young Master Li nodded quickly, and at the same time asked Li Ze with his mouth:
"How to do?"
Li Ze pressed his hand to signal Young Master Li not to act rashly.
Young Master Li thought in his heart that if he took action now, if the rebels would retaliate later, it would only harm the nearby villagers. The local guys in Yunnan around him could not be used. They did know kung fu, but they were only a little better than ordinary people, and they had never killed anyone. He couldn't fight the soldiers in the regular barracks at all, so he could only rely on the five nursing homes he brought from Hangzhou. They were all veterans, and it seemed that outsiders would not cause trouble to the villagers.Six people can solve the small group of rebels who surrounded Wu Shi.
Seeing the small group of rebels surrounding Wu Shi and the others, Young Master Li was suddenly happy: How about he go out and give Wu Shilu a hand with one enemy ten?
However, this was the first time he saw Wu Shi's appearance in battle, his brows were frowning and his face was cold and sullen, his whole body was covered in blood and his eyes shone coldly. .
Young Master Li looked at Wu Shi without blinking his eyes, and his hand holding the fan became tighter and tighter, until he saw a rebel stabbing a knife into Wu Shi's shoulder, Young Master Li was furious when he threw the fan!
"Zhang Chong! Lucky! Zhao Yuan! Zhao Xin! Li Hong! Do you dare to follow me to save General Wu? If not, young master, I don't blame you for going alone!"
The five people clasped their fists together and drew out the steel knife between their crotches, each with fierce eyes!
Young Master Li nodded in admiration:
"Sure enough, they are all good men! The young master doesn't treat you badly. After returning home, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!" Two taels of silver is enough to feed an ordinary family for half a year, and Master Li will give 20 taels per person.
"Auspicious Zhang Chong, you two, follow me in and tear open a hole to go to General Wu to help them kill from the inside! Zhao Yuan, Zhao Xin, Li Hong, the three of you distract your attention from the outside and kill in! The six of us plus General Wu The three of them will definitely eat up this group of rebels!" The more Young Master Li said, the more he spoke, blood welled up in his eyes:
"Remember, no one will stay!"
The five men all sullenly roared in a low and decisive voice:
"Not a single one!"
Li Ze tried to stop him with a sullen face, but when he saw Wu Shi covered in blood, he sighed and moved away.
Young Master Li took the lead carrying a fan and brought Zhang Chong, who was screaming, and they suddenly joined the battle. Li Ze stamped his feet anxiously behind: Ancestor, you should bring a knife anyway!
The sudden appearance of Young Master Li and the others changed the situation. Zhang Chong and the others were all nurses hired by Master Li at a high price. The 15 rebels were caught off guard by Young Master Li and the others.
Wu Shi's eyes were red with the blood flowing from the top of his head. He looked at the sudden appearance of Young Master Li and was a little dazed. It was not until he wiped his eyes fiercely that he was sure that the coquettish and handsome man in front of him who was busy killing people was Xiao Li. The son just grinned, he suddenly felt that this was fate!He is destined to be involved with this little bastard for the rest of his life!
Wu Shi's body, which was about to be exhausted, suddenly slashed at the enemy in front of him, and looked at Young Master Li from a distance. Young Master Li had just dealt with the surrounding enemies and looked at Wu Shi. The eyes met and merged, and at that moment, Young Master Li and Wu Shi understood everything in their hearts.Young Master Li gave him a faint smile and his eyes turned red.
Until the end of the battle, Wu Shi put his sword on the ground, and the blood on the sword slowly flowed into the green mossy land under his feet. He heard his hoarse voice rolling back and forth from his throat and finally uttered:
"Mingxuan?"
Mr. Li smiled and shook his fan, but his eyes were soft and outrageous:
"Brother Wu".
The author has something to say: These are some things about Wu Shi and Young Master Li, the subordinates of Chang'an, which do not belong to the main text.If you like it, I will put more, if you don't, I will put less.
The lovely author is lying on the ground asking for comments and love!Ha ha
☆, Chapter 44
All the officials above the fourth rank in the middle and high schools of Beijing participated in the Grand Court Meeting at Zhengdemen.
Since waking up early in the morning, Xue Yi's face was full of smiles. The seventh day of the lunar new year is Qixi Festival, and Chang'an is coming back soon.
Wei Jie took the crown and put it on for Xue Yi and pushed it away
Xue Yi looked up at Chang An with a persistent expression:
"I already feel guilty for keeping you in the palace. If I can't even do this, I will really humiliate you." Seeing Chang An frowning, he said quickly:
"Don't worry, I will arrange her properly."
Chang An nodded hesitantly.
Xue Yi patted the place next to him and raised his eyebrows at Chang An, Chang An smiled and sat beside Xue Yi, hugged him and said:
"I didn't expect that I could also sit on the dragon chair one day."
Xue Yi smiled at him, wrapped his arms around his waist, and said to Chang'an that he had already thought about it before:
"There is nothing wrong with the court at the moment. The sixth brother wrote to say that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River just invited you to go for a visit. You also happened to pass by Ziyun Pass to worship your master." Speaking of General Mo Bai, Xue Yi had a guilty expression on his face.
The smile on Chang'an's face disappeared instantly after hearing Mo Bai's name, and he nodded to Xueyi with a serious face.
Xue Yi caressed Chang'an's face with prominent cheekbones. There are some knots in Chang'an's heart that Chang'an can only untie by himself, and this knot must also be untied. He gave Chang'an enough time, because he believes that time is the best medicine for wounds. Heal all wounds, just as Chang'an's waist, which was always hung with wine gourds in the past, is now empty.
Xue Yi warmly comforted Chang An:
"Let's stay a little longer this time. Ziyun Pass has built a Loyalty Shrine. You can move the general's god into it."
Chang An nodded.
Liu Su who came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and returned to the palace looked anxious, contrary to her usual majesty of a queen, she became kind to her servants.
She sat alone in front of the vanity mirror for a long time, and finally a desperate expression flashed across her face, and she called the dowry girl softly:
"Chiba."
Qianye opened the curtain and walked in front of Liu Su, and asked respectfully:
"The empress is called a servant girl."
"Qianye..." Liu Su called Qianye's name and took out a letter from a gold-painted red sandalwood box at hand and explained:
"I will let you go home in these two days. If you hear any bad news from the master or me in the future, you will go to the person mentioned in this letter." Retire all the irrationality when you first came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace Emotions, Liu Su's words became calm now.
Qianye hurriedly fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Liu Su looked at Qianye who was kneeling in front of her, his dark eyes showed a little coldness, it's okay if nothing happens, and everyone should not feel better if something happens.
Three days later, Xueyi at the gate of the Hougong sent Chang'an to Jiangnan with Meng Zixuan.
"Be careful on the way here." Xue Yi personally put on a cloak for Chang'an and told him carefully.
In front of everyone, Chang'an couldn't get too close, so he nodded and said with a smile:
"The younger brother will stay with the sixth brother for a few more days, so don't worry about it, brother."
Xue Yi raised her eyebrows but said nothing:
"Just go back before Qixi Festival."
Chang An's heart skipped a beat and he nodded.
Tanabata is indeed a special day.
After seeing off Chang'an at the gate of the palace, on the way back to the Zhengde Hall, Xueyi told Wei Jie:
"The results of Dali Temple should come out."
Five days later, the verdict of Liu Xun's case was announced. Liu Xun's main criminal was killed in Caishikou, Liu Yun was exiled in Yazhou, and the empress prayed for Wei and went to Fushan Temple to practice. The night officials were trembling.
Empress Dowager Liu closed her eyes and muttered after hearing the verdict of Dali Temple:
"Sure enough, he is a good son of the Ai family!" From then on, he closed the door and thanked the guests.
When Liu Su left the palace, the queen's palace was in a mess. She hated Xueyi bitterly, and was dragged towards Zhengde Palace and yelled:
"Xueyi, you lied to me, you will die!, you will not end well!"
Liu Su's sharp and mournful voice pierced through the cold palace wall to the ears of Xue Yi who was walking not far away. Wei Jie and the court ladies and eunuchs around him looked at each other and dared not speak. Xue Yi looked at the clump of peonies indifferently .
Qixi Festival is coming soon, how should he surprise Chang'an.
Jiangnan Dao Sun Wen couldn't help frowning when he received the news of Liu Xun's verdict sent back by Xue Yi.
Chang Hui was sitting by the window reading a book, he knew the result without reading the letter:
"Has Master Liu been executed?" Chang Hui kept his eyes on the scroll, still asking Sun Wen.
Sun Wen didn't understand, turned around, tilted his head and asked Changhui:
"How do you know? The emperor told you?"
Changhui smiled and shook his head, then raised his eyes to look at Sun Wen:
"Nowadays, the land equalization reform in the central government has re-measured the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Under the general environment, even if I was found out and seized tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, I would be killed. Otherwise, the reform will become empty talk again, and the emperor will not be convinced."
Sun Wen sighed:
"Even so..." Sun Wen didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Changhui looked up at Sun Wen and said with a smile:
"What? Scared?"
Sun Wen sat next to Changhui.
Changhui put down his book and hugged Sun Wen with a smile:
"It's no accident that the emperor is planning for Changshan County King."
"You mean that the emperor prefers the king of Changshan County?" Although Sun Wen was not surprised, he also felt a little unspeakable.
Chang Hui stroked the hair on the back of Sun Wen's head and moved closer to kissing Sun Wen, his voice hoarse:
"The emperor has no sons, and the king of Changshan County has been raised by his side since he was a child. After a hundred years, the king of Changshan County will probably take over the throne." After speaking, he stood up, picked up Sun Wen and walked straight to the bed.
"Looking at it now, the emperor has a deep affection for His Highness the Eighteenth Highness." The curtain of the bed was lowered, and a faint voice came from inside.
Then I heard another person gasp and say:
"Others are fine, I'm worried that the emperor's method will bring disaster sooner or later... Let's not talk about them..."
Chang'an left the capital and went straight to Ziyun Pass to re-bury General Mo Bai.
On the way to Ziyunguan, Zhang Chao carefully noticed that Chang An was becoming more and more taciturn and always lost his mind. Several times he saw Chang An reaching out to touch the wine gourd around his waist but found nothing.
In the station where they stayed, Zhang Chao waved to the postman who brought him dinner.
Yicheng hurried over and only heard Zhang Chao say:
"Prepare a wine bag for me before leaving tomorrow, and fill it with wine."
Yicheng nodded respectfully.
In the evening, Zhang Chao patrolled the post station as usual. It was already late at night and Zhang Chao had to go back to rest after his inspection. When passing by the courtyard of the post station, Zhang Chao stopped when he saw a person standing motionless under the courtyard.
The moonlight shines softly on Chang An through the courtyard, and Chang An stands there with his eyes closed, motionless, surrounded by bushes of flowers rustling by the night wind.
Zhang Chao sighed, and after returning to his room, he spread out the paper and wrote:
"Food is tasteless, and sleep is getting less and less."
After arriving at Ziyun Pass, the bones of General Mo Bai were picked up outside the city and brought into Ziyun Pass on an auspicious day, where they were placed in the Temple of Loyalty and Justice.
Chang'an and others rested in Ziyunguan for three days, and when the auspicious day came, a group of people were led by the local county government to the Loyalty Temple.
Ziyunguan has changed from the past to the desolate city. There are people coming and going in the city, and caravans pulling horses and camels can be seen everywhere.
It was the first time Meng Zixuan came to Saibei to see that everything was new. He pointed to the camels carrying sacks on the street and asked Changan:
"Master, what kind of horse is this? Why are there two bulges on its back?"
Behind Chang'an were more than a dozen personal guards of the Imperial Army, the leader of which was Zhang Chao, the commander of the Imperial Army next to Xue Yi.
The guards on horseback burst into laughter when they heard Meng Zixuan's words.
Changan came back to his senses and wiped off the cold sweat on his palms as if nothing had happened, then shook his head and explained to Meng Zixuan:
"It's not a horse, it's called a camel. It's a kind of livestock commonly used in the Western Regions and Saibei.
Zhang Chao rushed forward to Chang'an and clasped his fists:
"Your Highness, the Loyalty Shrine is conveniently in front of you. The village elders and county guards are already waiting for Your Highness."
Chang An nodded expressionlessly, got off the horse, and told everyone behind him:
"Let's walk over, don't disturb the loyal souls underground." After finishing speaking, the soldiers dismounted neatly.
The lintel of the Loyalty Temple was tall, and the vermilion gate was open, and the three animal grains and wine were enshrined on the table outside the gate.
The county guard wore official uniforms and the elders of various ethnic groups in Ziyun Pass were waiting at the Loyalty Temple.The officers and soldiers held hands all around to prevent other people from crowding.
When the county guard saw Chang'an and the others arrived, he hurriedly brought a group of patriarchs out to welcome them:
"Congratulations to the Eighteenth Highness, Your Highness has come a long way and worked hard."
Chang An quickly helped the sheriff to salute the gray-haired old people behind him.
Chang'an's humble and respectful attitude won the favor of everyone in Ziyunguan.
The auspicious time has come, and the ritual officer sings.
The sun was shining brightly, and the firecrackers in his ears were shaking the sky. Chang'an watched the master's tablet covered with red cloth being held slowly into the Loyalty Temple. null.
He remembered that because of Xue Yi's obstruction, he had quit drinking for a long time.
"Your Highness." Zhang Chao called his name next to his ear, and stretched out his hand to hand him a wine bag. He thought for a while and shook his head to refuse, but his hands trembled even more.
He has already somewhat forgotten General Mo Bai's appearance, only in his mind he raised his head and looked at General Mo Bai when he was a child, the general stood against the light and couldn't see his face clearly.
When it was Chang'an's turn to lead the people to offer incense and three sacrifices, Chang'an staggered and knelt heavily on the ground, startling everyone.
Meng Zixuan and Zhang Chao hurried over to help Chang'an, but Chang'an refused.
He slowly picked up a jar of wine and walked forward on his knees:
"Master, go all the way!"
After Meng Zixuan and Zhang Chao backed away, even though Meng Zixuan didn't understand who the Divine General was, he still hesitated and asked Zhang Chao because of Chang'an's sad expression:
"Why did the general god die?"
Zhang Chao's face was expressionless, and he didn't answer Meng Zixuan's question.
The author has something to say: little angels, love must be expressed, come on, leave paw prints and let us hurt each other.cover face
☆, Wu Shi and Master Li outside the episode
The encounter between Young Master Li and Wu Shi in Tiantianxia was an inconspicuous event in their long lives at that time. Maybe they will only meet once in Tiantianxia in their whole life, and they will never see each other again in the future. intersection.
Wu Shi is still the commander-in-chief of the guards in front of the palace of the fourth rank of Zhengsi, an important place in the capital city of Gyeonggi.
Young master Li is still the young master of the Li family who is a flamboyant and flirtatious young master.
However, life is afraid of but.
When the Li family caravan arrived at Qilian Mountains, King Xianbei’s second son, Gu’er, got married. According to the custom, the Li family, as one of the families connected with trade inside and outside the customs, should carry out mutual trade with the local people in Xianbei and present gifts to the royal family of Xianbei.
When Young Master Li brought several principal persons in charge into King Xianbei's tent to meet King Xianbei, the eighteenth prince, as the representative of Emperor Wei of the Southern Dynasty, sat at the lower head of King Xianbei, and Wu Shi stood behind Chang'an, the eighteenth prince.
Wu Shi saw that young master Li's thin waist was wrapped in a navy blue cotton white robe, and young master Li was wearing a red sandalwood crown, which made his skin fairer. So fair.
The eighteenth prince Chang'an raised his glass to salute King Xianbei, then turned slightly and asked Wu Shi:
"Is this the young master of the Li family who helped you get rid of the Rouran people and return to Xianbei?"
Wu Shi nodded, and then his gaze slipped from Young Master Li's handsome profile to Young Master Li's narrow waist and upturned buttocks.
Chang'an thought of Xue Yi in the imperial capital, Xue Yi also had this romantic appearance, but was more dignified and graceful.
During the meeting, Young Master Li behaved properly and talked well. Even the eighteenth prince Chang'an lamented that Li's family has an extraordinary upbringing and raised such a good man.
At the end of the evening, Young Master Li was guided back to Wu Shi's tent by Wu Shi. Young Master Li wandered around in the tent, looking around, feeling around, and tsk-tsk:
"Brother Wu, you are still a court official of the fourth rank, so the cost of food and clothing is too low."
Wu Shi held two jars of wine in his hand and casually threw one jar to Young Master Li. Wu Shi didn't care about Young Master Li's teasing:
"It's because you live too fastidiously, which makes it seem like we're just getting by."
The two smiled at each other.
Wu Shi took Young Master Li out of the tent to drink. The starry sky on the grassland was so bright that the Milky Way could be seen.
Wu Shi and Young Master Li were lying on the grass. Not far from them was a fire with wormwood and some mosquito repelling herbs.
Young Master Li looked at the starry sky in the prairie with his arm resting on his pillow, listening to the sound of the wind and the neighing of the horse, he couldn't help but say:
"I'm going back when the exchange with Xianbei is over. I really envy you."
Wu Shi gulped down his wine and turned his head to look at Young Master Li's exceptionally bright eyes illuminated by the torch at night. For a moment, Wu Shi stared blankly at Young Master Li and asked:
"What do you envy us for? Envy us for licking blood on the knife edge or envy us for having a home and not being able to return?"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Li turned sideways to face Wu Shi, propped his head on the palm of his hand and looked at Wu Shi with a pair of hanging eyes blinking and blinking:
"I envy you for defending your home and country! Do you envy your loyalty on the battlefield!"
Wu Shi laughed and lay paralyzed on the grass:
"I think you read too many legendary novels in the market! How can we be as good as you say? In addition to patrolling every day, we also practice and stand guard. If something happens, we rush to the front to block it. When we have meritorious service, it will be our turn at the end. "
Young Master Li murmured:
"That's better than me. I was forced to get married by my father every day in Hangzhou. I don't know how many girls in Hangzhou city are worth a thousand." After talking about it, she sighed a long time.
Wu Shi couldn't tell what it was like to hear it, and he also put his arms behind his head and looked at the starry sky faintly:
"My parents died early and I was brought up by my uncle. If you want to listen to my father's nagging, you can't hear it."
Young Master Li sat up abruptly and looked at Wu Shi with joy on his face:
"Hey! That's great! You will be my father's son, and I will be a soldier for you."
The melancholy in Wu Shi's heart was completely disturbed by Young Master Li. He didn't understand why Young Master Li didn't want to go back to Hangzhou so much:
"Isn't it just forcing you to start a family? Why don't you!"
Young Master Li covered his cheek with his palm and expressed helplessness:
"You don't know, I really don't care about women. Even if I marry someone else's girl, I will hurt her."
Wu Shi's expression became indescribable after hearing what Young Master Li said, but it was a bit intriguing. It was the first time he heard someone so blatantly talk about bad women.
"Are you a broken sleeve?"
Young Master Li is in a hurry:
"You are the broken sleeve!"
After hearing this, Wu Shi drank a little bit of unnaturalness on his face.
Young Master Li stretched out his hand to grab the wine jar from his side and took a few sips, then fell silent, closed his eyes and frowned deeply.
Wu Shi glanced at Young Master Li, lying on the ground stretched out his arms to cover Young Master Li's eyes, the delicate and warm skin made Wu Shi close his eyes.The unique smell on Wu Shi's body also made Young Master Li's heart startled through his palm, and his heart beat a little faster.
There was music coming from the tent in the distance, singing about what made the warrior stop, what made the goshawk fold its wings...
In the following days, Wu Shi took Young Master Li to visit many unique places in Xianbei. Wu Shi took Young Master Li and followed the herdsmen to hunt wolves. Young Master Li insisted on using a snow wolf skin as a scarf. Wu Shi stared Young Master Li, while wearing a hood, drove the wind and rain to make a scarf for him to kill the snow wolf.
Wu Shi took Young Master Li to the forest to trap wild animals. Young Master Li insisted that the little animals that lost their mothers were very pitiful, and released the female beast that Wu Shi had caught all day.
Young Master Li took Wu Shi to watch the bonfire party where Xianbei men and women shared their hearts and sang love songs. Young Master Li’s beautiful hanging eyes were on the beautiful and enthusiastic Xianbei girl. Turn around.
Seeing the hardships of the Xianbei herdsmen, Young Master Li took the initiative to lower the price of Li’s goods by [-]%. Keeping a low profile and doing good deeds, even the servants of the Li family were surprised. They didn't expect the young master, who was always rich, to have such an unknown side.Only Li Ze, who has been taking care of him personally, is not surprised.
Wu Shi looked at the handsome and noble Young Master Li who was wearing brocade clothes and jade clothes not far away, and he naturally helped an old herdsman carry the horse manure that had been cleaned into wooden buckets into the car on the way, not feeling dirty and smelly.Wu Shi actually thought that Young Master Li had always been so cute, but people were always distracted by his background and appearance, and never seriously understood what he was like inside.
In Xianbei, Wu Shi told Young Master Li about the anecdotes inside and outside the imperial city, and Young Master Li told Wu Shi about the helplessness in the business field of a wealthy mansion, a general who looks calm but is sullen but a playboy who looks unscrupulous but calm inside. The more you play, the more speculative you become.
Not long after, the Eighteenth Prince Chang'an returned to Beijing after solving the Xianbei crisis. Wu Shi, as the governor of the guards in front of the palace guarding the Eighteenth Prince's safety, naturally had to return to Beijing together, but Young Master Li and his family were in charge of the exchange with Xianbei. There was still half a month to go, so the two had to bid farewell on the Xianbei Grassland.
On the way back to Beijing after leaving Xianbei, the eighteenth prince Chang'an took the reins of the horse and turned to ask Wu Shi with a smile:
"Reluctant to part with that young master of the Li family?"
It was rare for Wu Shi to be silent. He said to the Eighteenth Prince's half-smile eyes:
"Returning to Your Highness, I like the temperament of Young Master Li very much."
The Eighteenth Prince laughed:
"What are you talking about, your flamboyant temperament?"
Wu Shi sternly corrected:
"It looks bluff and flashy, but inside it is very calm and thoughtful."
The Eighteenth Prince nodded:
"From the exchanges between Guanzhong and Xianbei, it can be seen that he is a caring person who is different from other aristocratic princes."
The Eighteenth Prince asked again:
"How old is this young master Li? Has he ever been married?"
Wu Shi was startled, and couldn't help blocking what the Eighteenth Prince might say for Young Master Li:
"I heard from him that Master Li seems to have arranged for Young Master Li's marriage in Hangzhou." Wu Shi replied neither humble nor overbearing.
The eighteenth prince laughed, and never said anything about Young Master Li's marriage. He knew what Wu Shi was thinking.
He also has someone he cares about in his heart, he knows the pain of not getting what he wants, and he also knows how outrageous a man's desire for monopoly is.
The grassland was very windy. Wu Shi wore armor and rode forward on horseback leading the team. It was already evening, the blue sky was dyed red during the day, and the red tassels of Wu Shi's helmet fluttered in the wind.
What echoed in Wu Shi's ears were the words that Master Li said with a smile when he said goodbye in the daytime:
"Don't let it go, there will be a period later."
He heard his heart respond silently:
"There will be a period later."
,
The rain in Yunnan has always been very heavy recently. Zhang Yi's rebel army took advantage of the terrain and hid in the old forest when the Eighteenth Prince brought people to fight. Wu Shi asked the Eighteenth Prince to be a vanguard officer A group of people followed the rebels and also got into the vast mountain.
The climate in the mountains is completely different from the climate outside. The towering old trees are full of miasma in the forest that does not see the sun all the year round, and strange poisonous insects, mosquitoes and snakes can be seen everywhere. There is no trace of the rebels, but they have been lost in the mountains.
When Wu Shi saw Young Master Li again, he was still covered in blood, blood was slowly flowing from the blade of the sword that was stuck on the ground, while Young Master Li was still flamboyantly flamboyant, shaking the fan coquettishly in his hand.
"Mingxuan?"
"Brother Wu."
When Wu Shi fell down, his eyes turned dizzy, but he was surprisingly relieved.
Young Master Li looked at the fainted man in front of him, raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to signal Li Ze behind him, and pointed to the fainted soldiers in front of him:
"Bring them back."
The two of them never met each other in Xianbei last time. By the time Master Li returned to Hangzhou with the caravan, Wu Shi had already sent troops to Rouran with the Eighteenth Prince Chang'an.
This time, the Li family made a lot of money outside the customs. Han people always have a huge advantage in doing business with foreigners. Master Li rubbed Young Master Li's face and said distressedly:
"tanned!"
But Young Master Li was thinking about Wu Shi who had returned to Xianbei, so he asked his father solemnly:
"Father, do we have a caravan going to Rouran Xianbei soon?"
Master Li touches his beard:
"Recently, the imperial court used troops there, so we won't go there for the time being."
Young Master Li is in a hurry:
"It is precisely because the imperial court uses troops that we can profit in the past!"
Master Li pumped Young Master Li's ass for a lesson:
"We are businessmen! We are not desperadoes!"
Young Master Li remained silent.
In order to prevent his father from urging him to start a family, Young Master Li, who returned to Hangzhou, continued to live a happy life, and there was even a rumor that Young Master Li had broken his sleeves in Hangzhou City.
Master Li angrily smacked Young Master Li's ass with a ruler, and Young Master Li yelled at his father while hiding:
"What's so good about getting married? What if I find a vicious woman with a kind face and an evil heart for my son?" After shouting these words, Young Master Li was suddenly startled, and he looked at Master Li with more sadness .
Master Li stood still and slowly put down the hand holding the ruler. Master Li sat down slowly, looked at Young Master Li and said:
"Still complaining about your father?"
Young Master Li shook his head and sat next to Master Li:
"Father, I didn't blame you, I was just afraid." I was afraid that the wife I would marry in the future would be like the little girl my father married back home.
Master Li touched Young Master Li's head as he did when he was a child. He didn't speak for a long time.
A few days later, Master Li made the decision to send a post to his family friend, Master Zhao. After talking about the two families getting together, he forced Master Li to invite Miss Zhao to visit the garden.
Young Master Li rolled his eyes secretly, Zhao Qinqin was his childhood sweetheart who he watched and grew up with, the two of them are so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar with each other.
In the Li Family Flower Hall, Zhao Qinqin and Young Master Li walked politely under the watchful eyes of their family members, and the other walked with lotuses every step of the way. As soon as they came out of everyone's sight, the two of them immediately showed their true colors. The sandalwood fan in Zhao Qinqin's hand shook quickly, She looked at Young Master Li who was also vigorously shaking her fan beside her, and said unwillingly:
"I used to live comfortably in the garden outside the city. When my father heard that you had returned to Hangzhou, he immediately brought me back. I hate it! It's too hot in the city!"
Young Master Li nodded and hung his eyes even more reluctantly:
"I don't even want to come back! Xianbei is so nice, cool and free! The girls are so enthusiastic."
Zhao Qinqin turned to him and asked:
"Then why don't you bring one back, lest your father keep urging you!"
Young Master Li glanced at her:
"I'm not willing to marry anyone we grew up with, let alone a girl from a foreign race who I've only met a few times!"
Zhao Qinqin lightly kicked Young Master Li's ass with her small embroidered shoes and raised her eyebrows:
"Boy, what's the matter? Is there someone you like?"
Young Master Li didn't hide, and made Zhao Qinqin kick happily. He frowned when he heard what Zhao Qinqin said, and he couldn't tell if he had it. know who.
A face wrinkled more and more.
Zhao Qinqin took Master Li to sit down in the gazebo and held his chin:
"We grew up together when we were young. You are the man I know best. If I don't marry you, who should I marry? The marriage of the two of us is a good result for your family and my family. Don't worry if you marry me, I will marry you." I'm at ease marrying you." The little girl looked at him with a sad voice.
Young Master Li sighed and touched the top of Zhao Qinqin's head:
"Qinqin, let me think again!" Birds and insects were singing in my ears, and the starry sky above my head was bright. The little girl he liked and grew up with was looking at him. He had been hiding for 20 years, but there was no other choice. .
That night, after Qinqin left, he sat alone on the veranda of the waterside pavilion for the first time, a lonely lamp was quietly burning beside him, and for the first time, Young Master Li's handsome face, which was always happy, was expressionless.
A year passed in a blink of an eye, and Qinqin knew that Young Master Li's temperament did not urge him to answer, and during the year when Wu Shi came back from Xianbei, Young Master Li left for Yunnan.
Before leaving, he left a letter to Qinqin:
"We will get married when I come back from Yunnan this time."
Qinqin looked at the letter and didn't know whether she was happy or unhappy. She looked out the window for another year of hot summer, and when the whole family was smiling, she was taken back to the house by the maid to make a wedding dress.
Not long after Young Master Li left, Wu Shi went to visit Li's house in a spirit of carrying gifts and dressing up.
The Li family is a big family, and Wu Shi, a military officer of the fourth rank, came to the door and was only accompanied by the butler to sit in the side hall.
Wu Shi was drinking tea and saw a servant outside the side hall wrapping the pillars of the house with red silk.
Wu Shi asked the butler:
"May I ask if there is a wedding going on at home?"
The housekeeper looked at Wu Shi with a smile:
"Yes, our young master is getting married! After so many years, this little ancestor is willing to get married."
Wu Shi's eyes were staring wide behind the teacup, his thin cheeks were tense, his thin lips were tightly pursed, he didn't know what to say, as far as he knew, the Li family had only one son.
Relax your fingers to make a clicking sound, and slowly put the teacup on the table beside you.
Wu Shi came out from Li's garden and led his horse along the street. The street was full of voices, but he didn't hear anything.
He knew that Young Master Li had a tricky mouth and was very particular about sending him a box of snacks given to him by the emperor, but he didn't know if he would be able to eat it when he came back from Yunnan.
Shortly after returning to the imperial capital from Hangzhou, Zhangyi in Yunnan united with local barbarians to proclaim himself king and rebelled against the Northern Wei Dynasty.
When Wu Shi opened his eyes, he saw the roof of the bamboo house, and the window next to it was not closed. The sun penetrated through the window and shone on Wu Shi's face, making him unable to keep his eyes open.
Wu Shi settled down and slowly got up from the bed, he could vaguely hear someone yelling outside the house.
Putting on his shoes, he opened the door and walked out. There was a lush bamboo forest. Not far from him, there was a handsome young man in a royal blue brocade robe and a silver crown sitting on a chair to check the pulse of a child.
That son's Fengshen Junyi has a face like a crown of jade, and a pair of hanging eyes are full of elegance.
For some reason, Wu Shi, who was originally happy, was suddenly very disappointed. His shaved cheeks were tense, and the veins on his forehead were protruding.
When Young Master Li saw Wu Shi coming out, he smiled and stood up and took two steps towards Wu Shi. Wu Shi said:
"Congratulations."
Young Master Li was puzzled.
Wu Shi didn't know why he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help it:
"Congratulations, you are getting married. With Miss Zhao."
The smile on Young Master Li's face disappeared immediately, and he nodded:
"Thank you."
Wu Shi looked at Young Master Li with dark eyes and said nothing. He actually wanted to ask Young Master Li, didn't you say you don't like women?
Silently took out an object wrapped in red cloth from her arms and handed it to Young Master Li.
Young Master Li looked at Wu Shi firmly and asked:
"A wedding gift?"
Wu Shi shook his head.
A smile appeared on Young Master Li's face, and he happily accepted it.
Young master Li and others set off from Hangzhou and traveled all the way to play in the mountains and rivers for half a year before taking them into Yunnan to Kunming.After saying hello to the steward in Kunming, I followed the team of merchants below into the old forests of Yunnan and shuttled through various hidden villages.
Young Master Li's enthusiasm has driven the enthusiasm of the fellows at work. Even Young Master Li asked his fellows to help the villagers in the village plant crops and repair houses, and they worked very hard one by one. The local villagers who were originally very exclusive liked Li very much. Master, say he is a good man.
As soon as the vanguard led by Wu Shi was ambushed by the rebels, Young Master Li got the news here.
Li Ze stood behind Young Master Li and looked at Young Master Li flipping through the account books:
"Master, we've stayed here for a while, shouldn't it be time to go to Agu's village?"
Young Master Li raised his eyes and was about to answer when he saw a villager running quickly with a hoe in the distance:
"Master, in the woods to the north of the cottage, I found a military officer surrounded by the Shenwu Army." Zhang Yi's rebels said that they were blessed by the gods for Tian Xingdao, so they called themselves the Shenwu Army.
A few days ago, Young Master Li learned that the imperial court sent the Eighteenth Prince to Yunnan to suppress Zhang Yi's rebels. Wu Shi is the military officer next to the Eighteenth Prince, and it is estimated that he will also follow the Eighteenth Prince to Yunnan.
With a heartbeat, with a smile on his face, he got up and threw away the account book and asked Li Ze to go and have a look, but Li Ze stopped him with his arm:
"Master, our merchants never get involved in wars! Besides, swords have no eyes."
Young Master Li raised his eyebrows:
"The sword has no eyes but I have it, and I won't bump into it!" As he spoke, he pushed away Li Ze's arm and called a few guys to follow the villagers. Li Ze shook his head and followed behind.
Originally, Young Master Li hid far away and just stood outside to watch, but his eyesight was so good that he saw the besieged Wu Shi standing in the middle at a glance, his body covered with blood.Immediately became anxious, pointed at Wu Shi and said to Li Ze:
"That's Wu Shi!"
Li Ze was surprised:
"General Wu?"
Young Master Li nodded quickly, and at the same time asked Li Ze with his mouth:
"How to do?"
Li Ze pressed his hand to signal Young Master Li not to act rashly.
Young Master Li thought in his heart that if he took action now, if the rebels would retaliate later, it would only harm the nearby villagers. The local guys in Yunnan around him could not be used. They did know kung fu, but they were only a little better than ordinary people, and they had never killed anyone. He couldn't fight the soldiers in the regular barracks at all, so he could only rely on the five nursing homes he brought from Hangzhou. They were all veterans, and it seemed that outsiders would not cause trouble to the villagers.Six people can solve the small group of rebels who surrounded Wu Shi.
Seeing the small group of rebels surrounding Wu Shi and the others, Young Master Li was suddenly happy: How about he go out and give Wu Shilu a hand with one enemy ten?
However, this was the first time he saw Wu Shi's appearance in battle, his brows were frowning and his face was cold and sullen, his whole body was covered in blood and his eyes shone coldly. .
Young Master Li looked at Wu Shi without blinking his eyes, and his hand holding the fan became tighter and tighter, until he saw a rebel stabbing a knife into Wu Shi's shoulder, Young Master Li was furious when he threw the fan!
"Zhang Chong! Lucky! Zhao Yuan! Zhao Xin! Li Hong! Do you dare to follow me to save General Wu? If not, young master, I don't blame you for going alone!"
The five people clasped their fists together and drew out the steel knife between their crotches, each with fierce eyes!
Young Master Li nodded in admiration:
"Sure enough, they are all good men! The young master doesn't treat you badly. After returning home, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!" Two taels of silver is enough to feed an ordinary family for half a year, and Master Li will give 20 taels per person.
"Auspicious Zhang Chong, you two, follow me in and tear open a hole to go to General Wu to help them kill from the inside! Zhao Yuan, Zhao Xin, Li Hong, the three of you distract your attention from the outside and kill in! The six of us plus General Wu The three of them will definitely eat up this group of rebels!" The more Young Master Li said, the more he spoke, blood welled up in his eyes:
"Remember, no one will stay!"
The five men all sullenly roared in a low and decisive voice:
"Not a single one!"
Li Ze tried to stop him with a sullen face, but when he saw Wu Shi covered in blood, he sighed and moved away.
Young Master Li took the lead carrying a fan and brought Zhang Chong, who was screaming, and they suddenly joined the battle. Li Ze stamped his feet anxiously behind: Ancestor, you should bring a knife anyway!
The sudden appearance of Young Master Li and the others changed the situation. Zhang Chong and the others were all nurses hired by Master Li at a high price. The 15 rebels were caught off guard by Young Master Li and the others.
Wu Shi's eyes were red with the blood flowing from the top of his head. He looked at the sudden appearance of Young Master Li and was a little dazed. It was not until he wiped his eyes fiercely that he was sure that the coquettish and handsome man in front of him who was busy killing people was Xiao Li. The son just grinned, he suddenly felt that this was fate!He is destined to be involved with this little bastard for the rest of his life!
Wu Shi's body, which was about to be exhausted, suddenly slashed at the enemy in front of him, and looked at Young Master Li from a distance. Young Master Li had just dealt with the surrounding enemies and looked at Wu Shi. The eyes met and merged, and at that moment, Young Master Li and Wu Shi understood everything in their hearts.Young Master Li gave him a faint smile and his eyes turned red.
Until the end of the battle, Wu Shi put his sword on the ground, and the blood on the sword slowly flowed into the green mossy land under his feet. He heard his hoarse voice rolling back and forth from his throat and finally uttered:
"Mingxuan?"
Mr. Li smiled and shook his fan, but his eyes were soft and outrageous:
"Brother Wu".
The author has something to say: These are some things about Wu Shi and Young Master Li, the subordinates of Chang'an, which do not belong to the main text.If you like it, I will put more, if you don't, I will put less.
The lovely author is lying on the ground asking for comments and love!Ha ha
