Chapter 172: Step by Step (2)
After lunch, Li Shimin did not take a nap, and in order to relieve his fatigue, he often had to go out for a few steps to dissipate his sleepiness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
For the first few days, the wind spirit followed him respectfully, and she was familiar with the area around Tianjie these days, so she led the saint to see the scenery.
When approaching the Chengtian Gate, Feng Ling suddenly asked ignorantly, "Your Majesty, can you talk to them when you wait for the guards to guard the city gate?" β
Li Shimin was stunned: "What must be said when they are on duty?" β
Feng Ling showed a look of embarrassment, and opened her mouth several times to stop talking, the more she was like this, the more she attracted Li Shimin's attention. "To put it bluntly, when did you develop this unhappy temperament?"
"Don't hide it from the saint, the other day the saint punished him in the temple...... The lieutenant was recognized by the Wind Spirit. Feng Ling lowered his head and said: "I should never see you again, but unexpectedly, the fate has not been broken, and the peaks and loops have turned, and I will see you again in the palace." He had saved the life of the wind spirit in the western frontier, but before he could thank him, the wind spirit thought...... I want to thank him, and I want to bring him a letter entrusted by my father in Shazhou. β
Feng Ling was nervous in his heart, and listened carefully to Li Shimin's slight movements, but when he heard that his pace remained the same, and the rhythm of his breathing did not change, he knew that the mention of delaying him did not annoy him, so he put down his courage a little.
"Do you know that he was a lieutenant?" Li Shimin asked lightly.
Feng Ling forcibly suppressed the beating heart of "puff puff pass", and tried to maintain her ordinary speaking tone: "How can you not know? Feng Lingben was doing business in Dunhuang City, and the administrative office of Shazhou was also in Dunhuang City, so that even the town guard Lang General could not recognize it. Moreover, Dunhuang City is not big, and the Shazhou Mansion is not far from the market, and you can often see the Duwei on the street. β
Li Shimin said noncommittally "oh", Feng Ling looked up, and he had already walked to the Chengtian Gate, and he had changed shifts early in the morning, but he was really not there at this time.
She deliberately looked at the Fei Fei on duty, and said with regret: "I don't see the captain, it's okay, this thank you has been delayed for a long time, and I am not in a hurry." β
"How did he save your life?" Li Shimin asked casually, and walked up the stone steps of the Chengtian Gate Tower.
Feng Ling added fuel and vinegar to the attack on Guazhou, the first time he saw the delay of the situation will be repeated, trying his best to speak vividly, with dangerous ups and downs, Li Shimin's eyebrows moved several times, and Ah Sheng, who was beside Feng Ling, was even more stunned when he heard it, with a thrilling face.
Fei Fei on the tower of the city saw the saint in person, and saw the military salute, and the team on duty was hurriedly coming out of the building to salute. He glanced back at Ah Sheng, who was still unable to pull out his soul in the ups and downs of the wind spirit, until the wind spirit secretly pushed him, and then he came back to his senses and ran forward to ask the team for the list of rotations.
After a while, Ah Sheng trotted back and said to Li Shimin: "Team Yan is on duty at night, and he is not on duty at this moment. β
Feng Ling was irritated when he heard his voice "Yan Teamzheng", but he had to endure it, and wondered: "How can this be good, the Shazhou father entrusted ...... it"
"Just send the letter to someone else." Li Shimin dropped a sentence, turned around and walked away along the city wall.
"Your Majesty doesn't know." The wind spirit ran with small steps and followed: "If it is an ordinary letter, it is not tight, but that letter is unusual. The lieutenant left in a hurry, and we didn't know when he left the city, and when we knew that he had returned to Chang'an, it was too late to send him off. Therefore, everyone prepared the Book of All People together and handed it over to the wind spirit to bring to Chang'an. β
Li Shimin froze and turned around, Feng Ling only felt two keen eyes coming, and subconsciously shrank back, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't hide from this glance. She forced her composure, put on a naΓ―ve attitude that she didn't know, and smiled slightly to meet the sword-like gaze with a cold air.
"The Book of the People?" Li Shimin's face was slightly gloomy, "After a few years of being released, he has grown a lot of ability." β
The Wind Spirit had anticipated several possible scenarios, and the current situation was clearly heading towards the one she least wanted to see. The book of all people, whether it is from the sincere love of the people or the deceptive people's hearts, is something that the emperor is not happy to see, and it is a purely thankless thing.
Feng Ling stared directly at him and couldn't see the expression of joy and anger, and quickly thought to himself, at this moment, the saint was about to doubt her connection with Fu Tanyan, if he didn't interrupt his thoughts, and if he thought about it, nine times out of ten he would think that it might not be Yang Shufei's idea for her to enter the palace, maybe it was Fu Tanyan's arrangement, and naturally he would also think that Fu Tanyan stood in line with Yang Shufei Wu Wang and his son, Fu Tanyan was originally the general who led the troops, and it was taboo to stand in line.
But Feng Ling gritted her teeth and wanted to take a gamble, she stabilized her heartbeat, still half-looking up at an ignorant smile, and nodded again and again: "Captain Yandu's ability is indeed convincing." All year round, we merchants, as long as we take the goods, no one can escape the sand bandits and Turks, at least lose the goods and fold the parts, or take their own lives. Since Yan Duwei arrived in Dunhuang City, he cleared the surrounding bandits, as long as he did not meet the wandering Turks, Shazhou's business route from Xizhou was smooth, and now the business in the west is very good, who does not read the good of Yanduwei. β
Li Shimin's eyes did not loosen in the slightest, and Feng Ling did not dare to relax for half a point, spread his hands, and sighed lightly: "When we were in Dunhuang City, we always thought about how to reward Captain Yan, and Captain Yan was hard and cold and difficult to approach. β
Now that this road has taken a step, she will not be allowed to turn back, although she may not be able to win the battle forward, but turning back will definitely be a catastrophe, and the wind spirit has to bite the bullet and make a play. "Later, I heard that the Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Shazhou withdrew the military government, and looked at the fact that the commander was about to leave, and we bought and sold people, and we believed that we did not owe anything to the dealings, so I was determined to thank the commander before I could send him off. Unexpectedly, Du Wei left in such a hurry, and in desperation, everyone discussed recording Du Wei's exploits in Shazhou, so that there was a thought, in the future, Du Wei could also show his future generations, and then the Tang Dynasty would not be a good general. β
Feng Lingyun looked at Li Shimin with a smile: "Sage, don't laugh, we are commoners in the market, we can't think of anything else, only in this way can we express our hearts." At first, it was only a matter of inter-merchant funding, but later the poor people who survived the massacre of the Turks outside the city also came to join in, saying that the commander had given up his life in order to save them from the Turks, and this situation had to be reported to be at ease. β
"The sage just said that Captain Yan has grown his ability, and I don't know how Captain Yan used to be." Feng Ling's eyes widened, and he spit out his tongue mischievously when he met Li Shimin's eyes like torches: "At that time, Feng Ling was in distress on the business road, and when he was fortunate to get the help of the captain, he saw that he was very skilled, and at that time, he was itchy, and he thought of a chance to try a hand or two with him." β
She suddenly looked embarrassed after speechlessness, and waved her hand again and again: "But if you think about it, the wind spirit will never dare to ......" (to be continued.) )
