Chapter 497: Foothold

Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and snatched the talisman in his hand, looked at it, and sure enough, it was the words of the General's Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Sure enough, it's from the General Zuowei's family. Jiang Chengzi threw the piece decorated with Yingluo back to Li Ke, and looked at another smaller sign, which was engraved with her name and position as a guard.

"Hey, he's still a little general. I said, there are too many generals in this era, right?" Jiang Chengzi took the sign into his arms.

"Haha, yes. If you look at this Chang'an City, maybe it may be the general who throws a stone and hits it. Li Ke chuckled.

"The land of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is different, and even beggars may have relatives who are important members of the court. Jiang Chengzi laughed and asked, "Where are we going?"

"I am the third prince of Qin, and I am going back to the mansion of the third prince. Li Ke looked like a matter of course.

Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips and whispered, "Follow me, you still sell Guanzi." ā€

"Ah Jiu, you are now the guard of the third prince of Qin, you must be big or small. "Li Ke is serious.

Jiang Chengzi quarreled with him: "Snort, I'm also a little general." ā€

"Haha, you also said that in this capital land, there are many generals. Li Ke smiled.

Jiang Chengzi was about to speak, when someone came to him, riding a jujube red horse, walking slowly. Because of the sunlight, he slowly walked along the narrow street, stopped at the entrance of Shengpingfang, and kept looking this way.

Damn, isn't that Chai Lingwu?

Jiang Chengzi saw that Chai Lingwu was about to call her, and immediately turned over and dismounted and ran to Chai Lingwu, and bowed his hand and said, "The little one has seen Chai Gongzi." ā€

Chai Lingwu originally came out to go around and inspect the feasibility of the public carriage proposed by Jiang Chengzi. He walked the streets and alleys along the way, and almost walked more than 30 main streets in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw two people coming in from Yanxing Gate.

At first, he only felt that the person leading the horse in front looked like Li Ke. Later, he even felt that the guard looked like Ah Zi.

The latest news came that the Yang clan had been assassinated on the road to the sixth chamber of the Yang clan, and the officers and men of the three provinces had received anonymous information that Turkic heretics had infiltrated the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But the unfortunate news is that the king of Shu was seriously injured in the assassination, and he recuperated in the ancestral house of the Yang family, and the nine girls were taking care of him, and his life and death were uncertain.

However, the two people in front of them are obviously them.

Chai Lingwu rubbed his eyes, just restrained the jujube red horse, and let Ah Zhi, who was dressed as a man, turn over and dismount to say hello.

"I finally have a little conscience, and I can still come and say hello. Chai Lingwu looked at Ah Zhi who was approaching and thought to himself.

"You, why are you here?" Chai Lingwu hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

"Back to the chai boy, the younger one accompanied the third son of my family to collect medicine for my general. The few flavors of medicine explained by Dr. Sun are in good season these days. If you miss this season, you will have to wait another year. Jiang Chengzi said.

Chai Lingwu was even more confused, confused, looked at her blankly, and only grasped the point after a while, and asked a little strugglingly: "No, who is your general?"

Yes, this Dr. Sun can be said to be a famous doctor Sun Simiao, and this medicine collection is easy to understand. However, her surname is Yang, and she doesn't have any generals in the Yang family at present. If it was Li Ke, there would be no generals in his family.

"Chai Gongzi, you, don't you know my third son? Jiang Chengzi said very calmly, and then pointed to Li Ke, who was leading the horse not far away, "That's the third son of my family, the third son of Qin Shubao, the general of the Left Guard." ā€

Chai Lingwu let out an "ah", and finally woke up from his confusion, and the two of them put a smoke bomb in the Hongnong Yang family, this time they secretly entered Chang'an under the name of the third child of the Qin family to deal with the impeachment.

"I know, I know, why don't I know. I met him when he wore open crotch pants. Chai Lingwu greeted him with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Third son, have you picked up your medicine?"

Li Ke slapped his hand away and said, "Don't look like a thief." ā€

Chai Lingwu laughed and said, "You kid thought about taking the name of this third child." This old man is frail and sickly, and he has been raising him in another industry on the side of Zhongnan Mountain. Not many people in Chang'an City know that kid. ā€

"No. I just want to go to General Qin and use his son's name. Li Ke said.

"I'll go, you're going to see General Qin at this juncture? Are you really not afraid of chaos? Do you know that this impeachment of you can be big or small. Once people make a fuss, it makes people think deeply, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die. Chai Lingwu pouted.

"What am I afraid of? I'm just going to deliver medicine to General Qin and repay him for saving his life. I was still in my infancy, and if it weren't for General Qin rescuing me and my mother, I would have died in Taiyuan long ago. Send medicine, others still interfere?" Li Ke looked at Chai Lingwu like a neuropath.

Jiang Chengzi looked confused when he heard this: Didn't this kid just say that he was going to the mansion of the third prince of Qin? Why is he going to the mansion of General Qin at this time.

"Damn, I can do it for me. Now, you and Ah Zi can also go to my courtyard to stay. Even if someone sees that we are relatives, people who play together with open crotch pants, nothing. Chai Lingwu immediately said.

Jiang Chengzi also agreed with Chai Lingwu's statement, but Li Ke shook his head and said, "The Chai family is even more unsafe now, and they all know that I have a good relationship with you, so I don't know how many people are staring at it." ā€

"Then the Qin family will be safe?" Chai Lingwu asked rhetorically.

"How many people in this government and the opposition have dealings with General Qin?" Li Ke asked rhetorically.

Chai Lingwu thought for a while, nodded and said, "There are really few." After Uncle Qin was wounded, he did not go to the court or lead the troops, although he commanded the Left Guards, but in fact he rarely took care of them, and the affairs of the Zuotun Guards have always been taken care of by the deputy generals. Uncle Qin asked for his resignation several times, but His Majesty did not allow it. Because of his injury, he has been recuperating at home, and his comrades rarely move around, let alone those in the court. ā€

"That's it. I'm going to deliver medicine to the general, and it's right. What's more, before I left the capital, I had already visited Sun Lao. Li Ke said proudly.

Chai Lingwu was speechless, he could see that this person was showing the superiority of his IQ.

"You go, go ahead. Chai Lingwu waved his hand, he didn't want to talk to this kind of person too much.

"Good. Leave. Li Ke was unceremoniously, turned over on the horse, grabbed the reins and turned his head to look at Chai Lingwu and asked, "I said Ah Wu, you won't go to the informant without discipline, right?"

"I'll you-" Chai Lingwu wanted to scold a dirty word, but he couldn't help but think of Li Ke's grandfather, it was today. To insult the Son of Heaven, even if the Son of Heaven is his uncle, it is a capital crime. Therefore, he stubbornly held back the swear words, and only looked at Jiang Chengzi and instructed, "Ah Zhi, don't follow this guy." He was a very bad man, and he often led people into ditches. When you enter the Great General's Mansion this time, find the General's wife, stay there, and don't jump around with this bad guy. In a few days, your father and brother will enter Beijing, and Hongnong will deal with it. You come out again. ā€

This is clearly for her sake. Jiang Chengzi responded to Chai Lingwu very gratefully.

Chai Lingwu turned around and waved his hand very regretfully, and said, "Go ahead." Who made you like this kid, good cabbage, let this pig arch. ā€

"Ah Wu, you wait. Li Ke said hatefully.

"Do it yourself. Don't think that if you walk in a small alley, you won't meet acquaintances, you pretend to be the third, so pretend to be a little bit like it. Chai Lingwu turned over and walked in front of them.

"Do you really want to go to General Qin's Mansion?" Jiang Chengzi turned over and got on his horse.

"At present, there is nowhere else to go in this Chang'an City. Besides, I want to ask General Qin something. Li Ke replied.

"What about medicinal herbs?" Jiang Chengzi asked about the tangled things in his heart as he tightened the reins.

"Nature is true. Before I left Chang'an, I went to see Doctor Sun and said that I would collect dendrobium from the cliff. I asked Yun Ge to find it and collect it myself. Li Ke flicked his whip and began to run the horse.

"Why didn't I see you going to pick?" Jiang Chengzi was unwilling.

"I had been up the mountain the day before I went up with you. Li Ke replied.

Jiang Chengzi didn't ask anymore, only tightened the reins and followed him. Horses galloping on the road. The streets of Chang'an City are not like the roads of modern society, and there are not many people coming and going. In addition, this is not the main road, and the two of them are extremely fast.

After a while, the two came to Chongrenfang.

"The general's mansion given by His Majesty is in Chongrenfang. However, the general is an important minister of the imperial court, and he can open the door on the street to facilitate entry and exit. Li Ke explained.

Jiang Chengzi is no stranger to this kind of ancient community-like pattern, not to mention that there are many such books at home. She was a demon in her previous life, so she wanted to see what Chang'an City where he lived was like. She not only found many ancient classics to read, but also went to Xi'an to have a look.

Jiang Chengzi knocked on the door first, and the door was quickly opened, and a lame old man took a look and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I am a friend of Doctor Sun, and I was instructed by him to collect medicine for the general, and I brought the medicine today. Li Ke said and raised the basket of medicinal herbs in his hand, "This is my name post." ā€

The old man took a look and took the name post to pass it on. The two waited at the door for a while, and the old man opened the door and ushered them in.

Only then did Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi discover that although the entire General's Mansion was large, it was not magnificent. Even the imposing hall was decorated with no ornate brocade.

On the contrary, the whole general's palace looked simple, and the servants who served in the house were all old and disabled.

"The servants used in General Qin's mansion are all disabled soldiers or soldiers' families. Li Ke whispered.

When Jiang Chengzi heard this, his heart was shocked, and he admired the legendary Qin Shubao who was already perfect. In the past, my grandfather also liked Qin Qiong's story very much, and he would sing one or two Qin Qiong when he sang Peking Opera.

However, grandpa also sighed that Qin Qiong was a hero, but he couldn't escape this natural fate. The pain of his body accompanied him for the last twenty years. At that time, she also knew why there were few names of Qin Qiong in the history of the Tang Dynasty. is really this person who is scarred and has fought hard to change the prosperous world. But in this prosperous world, he can only fight against illness, and in the end he can't fight fate.

The fall of heroes is always sad.

Jiang Chengzi thought of Qin Shubao's ending, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, so he sighed.

Li Ke had a good heart, and knew that she sighed, so he comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be sad, everything is different." ā€

Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I'm always blindsided. Now it's different from before, and now, I'm here. ā€

"Ha, yes. Everything is different. Li Ke was also happy.

The old man who led the way didn't understand what the two men were saying, so he simply didn't listen, and only led them to the east wing.

The peach blossoms in the east wing have fallen, and the peach trees planted in the courtyard have fallen fruit, and the branches and leaves of the peach trees are luxuriant.

"This Hugo is really different. Look at the peaches that used to be pitiful, but now they are all bright. A woman was laughing.

Through the peach trees, Jiang Chengzi saw a woman wearing a royal blue skirt and red blouse looking at the peach tree on the tree with her feet on the ground, and this time she seemed to be turning back to talk about the situation of the peach tree.

"This rain came at the right time, and it was indeed as expensive as oil. A man's gentle and mellow voice sounded, like a mountain spring flowing into a mountain spring pool, clean and clear, but not sharp.

"General, ma'am, my subordinates have brought people here. The old man stood outside the peach grove and shouted.

"Good. The woman replied crisply.

The old man pointed to a path in the peach forest and said, "Go in from here." The general and his wife rested here. ā€

The two thanked the old man and entered the peach forest. After turning a few peach trees, the two of them saw the woman's face. The eyebrows are picturesque, the long eyebrows are in the sideburns, and the apricot eyes are shiny. She didn't have time to look at Li Ke and the others this time, because she was concentrating on pruning the branches of the peach tree with scissors in her hand.

And a man with all white hair sat under the eaves of the porch beside the peach grove, a rattan rocking chair, and a quilt embroidered with magpies and plums. He has handsome facial features, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but his face is unusually pale. However, there was a gentle smile on this pale face. He was looking gently at the woman pruning the peach branches.

"I've seen the general. "Li Ke greeted.

"The king of Shu is exempt from courtesy, sit. The man withdrew his eyes from the woman and pointed to the futon beside her, his voice gentle and pleasant. The mood was not shocked, and he did not have the slightest panic and displeasure because it was Li Ke, the king of Shu, who suddenly visited.

"Thank you, General. Li Ke sat down on the side.

Qin Qiong glanced at Jiang Chengzi and chuckled: "There are no outsiders this time, please sit down with this girl." ā€

"The general has good eyesight. Yang Ah Zhi met with the general. Jiang Chengzi stepped forward to bow to Qin Qiong, and then sat down on another futon.

As soon as the woman heard that it was Yang's Azhi, she put down the branch in her hand, put down the scissors, jumped over from the stone railing, patted the soil on her body, and sat down beside Qin Qiong, while looking at Jiang Chengzi and asked curiously, "Huh, are you Yang's Azhi?"

"Mrs. Hui is the junior. Jiang Chengzi replied respectfully.

The woman looked at it curiously, and said to Qin Qiong with a smile: "This child is very good-looking, it really suits my eyes." ā€

"Thank you, Madame, for your love. Jiang Chengzi responded politely.

The woman hid her face and smiled, and said, "Pity me, I have three sons, but none of them." I always thought that if I had a daughter, I would have to be so smart. ā€

"Madam, don't mention taking Ah Zhi as your daughter. Qin Shubao hurriedly stopped.

The woman smiled heartily and said, "Don't worry, general, but I remember that Chai Shao's guy took the lead to avoid embarrassing Ah Zhi." ā€

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness. Jiang Chengzi only had to be well-behaved.

"You, don't be restrained, there are no outsiders in this general's mansion. Those servants are all confidants of the general, and they will never say a word nonsense. The woman comforted her, and before Jiang Chengzi could speak, she said again, "Leave a man here to talk, and I'll take you to see my herb garden, okay?"

Jiang Chengzi knew that this Mrs. Qin wanted Li Ke and Qin Qiong to talk alone, so he stood up and was about to answer, but Li Ke stood up and stopped him: "Madam, there is no need to be like this. All my words, Ah Zhi can hear. ā€

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, and Li Ke explained: "My identity is not good, and I am on the cusp. Ah Zhi is my future princess and my wife. I shouldn't and don't want to hide everything from her. ā€

"Good, good. Mrs. Qin smiled happily, and the more she looked at this young man, the more pleasing it became. So, she sat down next to Qin Qiong again, and motioned for Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke to sit down together.
