Modern backpacks can no longer be used, and if you wear a costume but carry a modern bag and walk down the street, it will be really a big sight. The sisters bought two pieces of cloth, put their belongings in them, tied them into two bags and carried them on their backs, and went back on the road.

Hiking is not as good as taking a car, and it is a lot of trouble. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a place to eat at noon, so I usually have to buy a few Hu cakes in the morning and bring them. What's even more troublesome is that you may not be able to find a town before dark, and if you are not careful, you will have to sleep in the wilderness. Fortunately, they were lucky, and after five or six days, although they did not arrive in town, they could find people to spend the night. In ancient times, the folk customs were simple, the villagers were honest, and it was safe to stay overnight.

It's just that the day is back, the sky has darkened, but there is no village in front of the village, no store behind, the sisters are very anxious, hurried to the road. At this moment, a carriage suddenly rushed out of the fork in the road next to it, and the speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the two of them, and it came straight for the two of them. Zixuan screamed in fright, and Ziyi pulled Zixuan to the side and fell to the side, only to escape.

The coachman didn't see the two of them when it was dark, but when he heard someone shouting, he hurriedly pulled the reins. The horse's front hooves raised, neighed, and stopped. A man and a woman got out of the car, the man was tall and extraordinary; The woman behind him, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her dress swaying lightly in the wind, has a kind of man's heroic and handsome.

The man and woman came to the two sisters, and the man apologized: "Li Jing has offended a lot in Xiamayi County, but the two girls are hurt?" ”

"No, just a fall." Ziyi got up and patted the dust on her body, and pulled her sister to stand up again.

At this moment, Zixuan's mind was spinning rapidly: Li Jing? Is he Li Jing, the general of the Tang Dynasty? That Li Jing, who was mythologized as the king of Tota by later generations? Isn't this one behind him the Red Whisk Girl?

So, Zixuan looked behind him and said, "This is ......"

"Oh, this is clumsy Zhang Chuchen." Li Jing replied.

Sure enough, she is a red whisk girl, and it is rumored in history that her name is Zhang Chuchen. Zixuan couldn't help but glance at this ancient pioneer of women's liberation again.

Li Jing asked, "Where are the two girls going?" It's not safe to walk at night. ”

Zixuan said: "We are going to Jinyang to join relatives, and the money was cheated by the coachman on the way, so we can only walk." ”

Zhang Chuchen walked up to Li Jing and said, "It's not easy for the two girls' families to walk so far. Xianggong, how about we take them for a ride? ”

Li Jing nodded.

Ziyi was afraid that he would regret it, "Really? Thank you so much. ”

Zixuan asked, "Master Li, where are you going, are you taking our sisters along the way?" ”

"I'm going south on an errand, and I can take the two girls on the way." Li Jing replied.

Zi Xuan already knew in his heart where he was going and what he was going to do. So the sisters got into the car.

In the evening, I found an inn to stay. As soon as he entered the room, Zixuan closed the door and said to his sister mysteriously: "Sister, the couple we met is not ordinary people. ”

"Oh? Who are they? Ziyi asked curiously.

Zixuan whispered: "That man is Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and the woman was originally a singer in the mansion of Yang Su, a powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty. ”

"Ha, okay, elopement? So talented. Ziyi said with a smile.

Zixuan sighed: "That's not the point. The point is, do you know where they're going now? ”

Ziyi glanced at her, "How do I know?" He only said it was going south. ”

Zixuan said: "He is now a member of Mayi County, and he is considered a subordinate of Li Yuan, but he is still loyal to the Sui Dynasty in his heart." According to historical records, Li Yuan's secret recruitment of troops and horses aroused Li Jing's awareness, and he was going to inform Li Yuan of rebellion. I guess he has already gone to Daxing, and he has not attracted the attention of Yang Yu, the grandson of the emperor who stayed in Daxing, and now he wants to go south to Jiangdu to find Emperor Yang Guang directly. ”

Ziyi thought for a while, "Didn't you say that he was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, so how could he be loyal to the Sui Dynasty?" ”

Zixuan said: "Becoming a famous general of the Tang Dynasty came later, and now he doesn't have the foresight to know that Li Yuan can succeed in the end." ”

Ziyi said with a smile: "That is, in this era, who can be more 'far-sighted' than our Yang Zixuan?" ”

"Oh, seriously." Zixuan said sternly, "He is now standing on the opposite side of Li Yuan, and he can't let him know that we are going to find Li Yuan." Don't talk about it. ”

"Okay, got it." Ziyi replied.

Along the way, Li Jing and his wife were very polite and took care of the sisters. It's just that neither side can say where to go, and can only gossip without some of them.

After walking with Li Jing and his wife for more than ten days, they came to a fork in the road, and Li Jing said that he could only bring their sisters here. He was going south, and the sisters only needed to walk the road to the north, and they would be able to reach Jinyang in a day or two. Zixuan guessed that he was probably going to take Luoyang and then go south to Jiangdu, but it was a pity that he didn't know that Li Mi of Wagangzhai had captured Luokoucang at this time, and Luoyang was already in flames, and he was destined not to reach Jiangdu.

Bidding farewell to Li Jing and his wife, the sisters walked all the way north. Knowing that they would be able to reach Jinyang in a day or two, they were extremely happy, and their steps became more and more brisk. In the evening, when I came to a wooded field, the trees on both sides of the road were green, and it was the end of March, and the tender green leaves had grown a lot. In the silence of the mountains and forests, the setting sun casts dappled light and shadow through the layers of leaves, like broken gold sprinkled on the ground. Such a scenery is difficult to see in the overdeveloped modern era, so Ziyi and Zixuan fully enjoy the green and fresh air.

As they walked, the sky had already darkened, and there was no one around, and the sisters were in a hurry. Suddenly they heard something in the forest on their left, rustling the leaves, and then heard a strong, loud tiger roar. Oh, my God! They gasped - even though it was already dark, they could see a colorful tiger hiding in the woods!

The tiger came out of the woods and paced down the road, looking at the sisters as he went, as if to gauge whether they were good or not. The sisters are infinitely nostalgic for the modern age, and it is better to overexploit it, at least this ferocious animal will not run on the road. Without giving them much thought, the tiger had lowered its head and lowered its body, which was the standard action of felines before they pounced. Ziyi hugged Zixuan tightly in her arms and didn't dare to move. I saw it rise up and pounce on the sisters!

"Ahh Ziyi and Zixuan screamed, and closed their eyes in fright, could it be that they died 1400 years ago? Feed the tigers? It's too sad!

It's too late, it's too fast, just a 'whoosh', followed by a loud "plop" sound, and something falls heavily on the side. The sisters opened their eyes tremblingly, and the tiger was lying on the ground, and an arrow struck the word "king" on its forehead, so that it could not make a last sound, and then whimpered for its death. What a great archery!

When the sisters looked back, they saw a solid white horse galloping in front of them, its front hooves volleying into the air, and his master, dressed in a white robe, holding the reins with all his might. It turned out to be a teenager, with an angular face like a jade carving, and dark eyes, like the sea at night, bottomless. The handsome sword eyebrows, the heroic nose, and the thin lips are all full of deep and noble arrogance. He is like an eagle in the dark night, imposing and exuding a breathtaking momentum. He flew and dismounted, and came to the two sisters like a god.

"The two girls were frightened, but it was too late this day, why did the girls come here." His clear voice rang out.

Ziyi and Zixuan were stunned by this sudden qiē, and the tiger ...... Bow and arrow...... Handsome guy...... The head is clearly dead and is being restarted. Seeing that they were not responding, the young man cried out again, "Girl? ”

After the "restart" was successful, the two slowly stood up, obviously their legs were still a little weak.

The young man saw a woman with a small round face and big eyes coming to him, and blessed himself, "Thank you Gongzi for saving your life, dare to ask Gongzi's surname, my sister will thank you in the future." ”

The young man replied, "Under Li Shimin." ”

"Ahh Li Shimin! The woman in the back rushed up, and just now she couldn't raise her head like a frosted eggplant, but now she grabbed the one in front of her as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, "Zixuan, he said his name is Li Shimin!" Finding him is not the same as finding Li Yuan! ……”

Zixuan hurriedly covered her sister's mouth and said nervously to Li Shimin: "I'm sorry! We are not from the Central Plains, and my sister doesn't know much about the etiquette of the Central Plains. ”

After speaking, Zixuan's heart was still pounding, he was Li Shimin! The future Tang Taizong! How could I meet him here, it was too sudden! He is not the same as the portrait in the history books, how can he be so handsome? Don't have a belly either? It's just that the breathtaking spirit is no different. Oh! By the way, those portraits were painted after he became the emperor, and now he is only eighteen years old, how can he have a belly?

"The two girls know their father?"

Zixuan came back to his senses from Li Shimin's question, "Ling Zun is Lord Li left behind in Taiyuan?" ”

"Exactly."

"Lord Lingzun is famous, and we've only heard of it." Zixuan made it up with a weak heart.

"And how do you know what's next?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

yes, why do you know about him? It can't be said to be seen in history books. Li Yuan was already a feudal official at this time, so naturally some people knew, but at this time, Li Shimin was not a "popular superstar", he was just Li Yuan's second son. Zixuan searched his stomach and thought about what glorious achievements Li Shimin had thirteen years ago, and continued to make up: "Listen...... I heard that two years ago, Lord Li's second son was ...... Offering Ji Yun Dingxing to General Yun, he helped the emperor relieve the 'siege of Yanmen', and everyone is saying that the second son is really a tiger of the gate! The emperor must have rewarded the second son, right? After compiling it, I didn't know if it was successful, and I didn't dare to look at him squarely.

"That's right." Li Shimin said lightly.

Seeing that he believed it, Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she learned history well, otherwise such a shrewd person would definitely debunk her.
