[Sword Three] The general will return or not

Ling Yan changed to a plum tree and continued to dig the hole. This time he only dug a foot and found the wine jar he had buried earlier. He couldn't bear to pick up the lipstick cloth and sniffed it. Although it was not as fragrant as Brother Lu's Autumn Dew, But there is also a refreshing aroma, which makes me feel satisfied immediately.

On the return trip, Xiao Yang, who was in a good mood, specially directed Tiance to detour to the small market in front of Tai Chi Square, and bought some snacks from Senior Sister Yang.

Considering that there is no stable in his own courtyard, Tiance's beloved horse cannot be allowed to stay in the freezing Huashan overnight, so Ling Yan discussed with Li Huaiyuan and put Ta Yan in Laojun Gong Yan Xiaoxia's senior brother to take care of them. One by one, the people returned with great lightness.

Chunyang is light and nimble, and Li Huaiyuan hangs behind Ling Yu not far or near, watching the lamb jumping in the mountains, every plant, tree, mountain and stone can use its strength, and the wide fox-fur cloak is raised like two wings , coupled with a touch of red on the Taoist crown, it looks like a crane wandering in the mountains.

Tiance's light kung fu is good at speed, Li Huaiyuan focused heavily on the rocks under his feet, borrowed his strength to fly to Chunyang's side, and walked side by side with him, but the rock touched by Tiance quietly shattered after the two traveled a long distance .

Because the two rode horses when they went, and they were delayed in Taiji Square and Laojun Palace when they came back, it was already very late when they returned to Ling Yan's residence.

Lamb closed the door of the room, took off his white fox fur and hung it up, added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, and finally took out the wine and vegetables and carefully put them on the plate.

Tiance watched interestingly from the sidelines, Chunyang seemed to be very serious in everything he did, earnestly making bows, tying fox fur for himself, earnestly digging holes, and now earnestly arranging vegetables and serving dishes , but I don't know if he will seriously beg for mercy under him when he eats the lamb.

Naturally, Ling Yan didn't know what a certain hungry wolf was thinking. After arranging the food and wine, he took out a lacquered wooden box from the cabinet, and inside the box were two bottles of white jade glass cups.

Li Huaiyuan twirled one of them and turned it between his fingers to look at it. The whole body of the cup was crystal clear, and the body of the cup was adorned with patterns from the Western Regions, making it warm and cool in the hand.

A few years ago, he fought with Li Chengen in the Western Regions, and once seized a pair of identical wine bottles in the palace of the Uighur royal family. For this, Li Huaiyuan regretted for a long time, thinking that His Majesty would like to ask for a reward, and asked for this pair of glazed cups.

But it coincided with the "Xisheng Sacrifice" ceremony in Chunyang, and before he could even open his mouth, the emperor gave all of them to Li Wangsheng, the head of the house, the glazed cup and all the rare treasures as congratulatory gifts.

Li Huaiyuan and Chunyang didn't meet much, and it was not easy to come to Li Wangsheng to ask for it, so I had to give up. I didn't expect that after many years, I could see the exact same pair here at Xiaoyang.

Tiance played with the cup in his hand, raised his head and asked Xiao Chunyang, who was still busy, "The pair of wine glasses are very delicate, I don't know where I got them from?"

There are many unique objects in Ling Yan’s room, most of which are gifts from masters, uncles, or brothers and sisters who traveled abroad. Xiao Yang tilted his head and thought for a long time before he remembered the origin of these two cups. As a gift, Master doesn’t drink alcohol, so he gave me this pair of wine glasses, but I don’t need them on weekdays, I think the general is a drinker, if the general likes it, then give it to the general.”

Li Huaiyuan couldn't help lamenting the wonder of fate, the loot that he had longed for was now in the hands of the person he longed for, even though he didn't give it himself, but it also made him feel a little bit happy.

Naturally, Tiance would not take back the things tied to fate, and hastily refused: "The Taoist priest is polite, a gentleman does not take what others like, if this general thinks about it in the future, I will come to the Taoist priest to beg for a drink."

Ling Yan felt that he was not familiar with Tiance, and thought that the two of them would not have much interaction in the future, so he just smiled and was noncommittal.

Li Huaiyuan poured a glass of wine, held the glass in one hand, put the other hand on Chunyang's shoulder, and pulled him to the window, Ling Yan was puzzled, so he had to let him hug him.

Li Huaiyuan shook the Qiong Niang in the cup, and held the white jade cup in front of him. The moonlight outside the window was shining on the cup, and the originally clear glass shimmered against the moonlight, embedded in the white jade. The pure gold thread floating faintly with the wine in the glass, as if alive.

Chunyang's eyes widened in amazement, and he reached out to grab it, but Tiance turned his wrist and dodged it lightly.The little sheep's hooves were empty, and he looked at the tall man who was hugging him in a daze. His expression seemed to make a "baa" sound when he squeezed it. It made a certain wolf want to bite him on the neck on the spot.

Li Huaiyuan hugged Xiao Yang's arm tightly, brought the rim of the cup to his lips, and watched him obediently sip the wine with his own hand, but it was a pity that Ling Yan was not caught by him like in his dream. The spirits choked and coughed, but he narrowed his eyes lazily, as if he was savoring the mellow aroma of the wine.

Tiance took back the cup, followed by the light lip marks Chunyang left on the rim, and drank the rest of the wine.

He took the lamb to drink a few more glasses of wine, Li Huaiyuan wiped off the oil, let go of the lamb, and let him go back to the table.

Ling Yan shook his wool, moved the low table full of wine and vegetables to the window, flipped up his clothes and sat opposite Tiance, lifted the mud seal of the vermilion wine jar and poured wine for him, staring at Tiance as if offering a treasure, his eyes sparkling Yes, it seems that they are waiting for the compliment from the person opposite.

Although the wine brewed by Ling Yan is not as full-bodied as Qiu Lubai, it has a clear and sweet fragrance in the throat, and it has a special flavor.

Li Huaiyuan has read countless wines, and Ling Yan's wine can only be regarded as useless and nothing special, but looking at the lamb who is eagerly looking at him, for some reason, the wine in his hand suddenly becomes sweeter, as if The clear breath between the lamb's neck.

After Tiance praised a few words, he saw the corners of Xiao Yang's eyes were bent, and the joy overflowed from those clear eyes little by little, which made Tiance's heart soften.

The two drank and had a good conversation with the moon. Li Huaiyuan had traveled all over the years and fought everywhere, and had seen many things in the world. From the bloody fights on the battlefield to the singing boats on the banks of the Qinhuai River, the lamb is yearning for it.

Ling Yan was raised in Chunyang Palace since he was a child. Li Wangsheng was afraid that he would be bullied because of his pure heart, so he was detained in Huashan. The farthest place he has been to is only Chang'an.Even when he went out, his senior brother followed him, in case he would run away and get lost, or eat too much, so he was very restrained.

Li Huaiyuan wanted to show off, and he spoke in a flashy manner, Ling Yan asked a few questions from time to time, and he also answered fluently, which aroused Xiao Yang's admiration.

Ling Yan: "General, have you ever been to the West Lake? I heard from Brother Ye that the glistening water of the West Lake, the willows hanging down the embankment, the snow on the broken bridge, and the sunset on the Thunder Peak are all rare sights in the world. He said that if I go to Hangzhou, I can I went to look for him by the West Lake, and he took me to enjoy the scenery of the West Lake, but I don't know if Master will agree."

After thinking for a while, Li Huaiyuan guessed that the "Brother Ye" in Xiao Yang's mouth was the hidden sword that he had just driven away.Tiance despises his love rival's unscrupulous behavior of abducting an ignorant and beautiful boy.

"While the West Lake is beautiful, it is not as magnificent as the Eastern Capital. The scattered palaces and bustling markets of the Eastern Capital are not far behind Chang'an. Every April and May is the peony flowering period. The Peony Flower Fair will be held in Beijing. Qunfang You have heard a poem saying, "Only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital moves when it blooms." That is the scenery that can only be enjoyed in Luoyang." Li Huaiyuan secretly admired himself, and he was ignorant of writing and ink on weekdays My own self, in order to lure the lamb back to Tiance Mansion, was able to pull out a line of poetry.

"It's not just Peony, I'll take you to see the White Horse Temple that has just been repaired, the Qiyun Pagoda Courtyard..." Li Huaiyuan said halfway, when he suddenly remembered that it was strange for a Taoist priest to run into the temple, so he immediately Changed his words, "There is also Laojun Mountain, which was named by Emperor Taizong himself. There are not only Laojun Temple with iron rafters and iron tiles in the mountain, but also many wonders. Dragons sing and listen to the spring, and Zhongding Yunyong. Many Taoists listen to the spring and talk there. Dao, you will like it."

Li Huaiyuan saw Ling Yan's heart moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "There are a lot of delicacies in Luoyang, the most famous one is the Luoyang Water Banquet, which has 24 dishes, with the first eight grades and four town tables..."

Li Huaiyuan talked eloquently, so greedy that Xiao Yang swallowed while drinking, "I also want to visit Luoyang, but I am afraid that Master will not allow it."

Seeing that Xiao Yang has already half-stepped into his trap, Tiance threw out his last trump card: "Uncle Liu Mengyang has been thinking about Chunyang since he married into Tiance's mansion. You told Master Li to visit Uncle, He will certainly agree."

The lamb's eyes lit up when he heard this.Although Liu Mengyang is Lu Zu's apprentice, he was brought up by his masters and uncles. He has no airs of elders in front of Ling Yan, and has a very good relationship with Ling Yan. The masters also knew that they would give him some fancy gadgets, and if they had an excuse to visit Junior Uncle Mengyang, the masters would not object.

Thinking of this, Ling Yan smiled and said to Li Huaiyuan: "The Fahua Festival will be in another month, and I need to help master and brother take care of the ceremony. When the ceremony is completed, I will report to my master and leave for Luoyang. I have to bother the general."

After making such a big circle, Li Huaiyuan finally got what he wanted, and immediately agreed readily, and the two of them clapped their hands together as an alliance, and the trip to Luoyang was confirmed.
