Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nishikawa Chapter 17 Time is running out

In the fifth year of Taihe, September Bingchen, Shen Zheng two quarters.

Chengdu Mansion, Jiedu Envoy Mansion.

The last ray of sunshine in Chengdu Mansion today spilled into Wenshu Fang, and it is estimated that in half a moment, the sun will fall behind Shushan, leaving only a trace of afterglow.

Li Zhi's intimidation had an effect, seeing Li Huai's deep face showing fear, Li Zhi smiled secretly in his heart, he really knew people without mistakes. Li Zhi only felt that his heart was a little subtly fanatical, and he couldn't help but sigh that although Li Huaishen and Yang Zong were one and one practiced martial arts, their backgrounds were also very different, but they were both stupid, and the methods to deal with them were quite similar: first deter their will, and then give small profits.

"Hehe, Li Sima, you don't need to be afraid. Zhi just said that, if Sima can lead the troops to retreat, Zhi can not report the matter to the Jiedu envoy. How about this and everyone rejoice? Li Zhi smiled and pretended to look at Li Huaishen calmly.

"But ......" Although Li Huaishen's expression had retreated, he still looked at the inside of the mansion door with some concern, but his sight was blocked by the guards and subordinates in the mansion, and he couldn't see anything.

The retreat has been paved for him, and he is just one step away.

"Zhi assured Li Sima that although my courtyard is large, it is true that there is no such secret stake as Li Sima just mentioned. Besides, if it is really a hidden pile in Victoria, it is personally dispatched by the Jiedu envoy, how dare Zhi rob privately? ”

"Besides, the Weiyuan army that came to patrol the night is coming soon. If Li Sima doesn't leave, this matter is just a matter that Zhi wants to hide, and he can't hide it......"

Li Huaishen flattened his mouth, Xu knew that Li Zhi was giving himself a step, so he crossed his hands and said: "Both...... Since the envoy has made such a guarantee, Huai Shen is relieved and goes to search elsewhere...... Is. ”

Li Zhi also crossed his hands and saluted, and watched with a calm face as Li Huaishen led a team of Heavenly Expeditionary Troops to enter Houqu on the way from here, and passed by the Weiyuan army who came to garrison the embassy at the entrance of Houqu.

"Ah Lang, you really make Ah Si admire," Li Ah Si leaned over from behind Li Zhi and praised in a low voice: "Just a few words to take the menacing Li Sima away." Presumably, this Li Huaishen will not dare to come to you for trouble after that. ”

"Don't say that you admire me," Although the shadows of Li Huaishen and the Heavenly Expeditionary Army had disappeared out of sight, Li Zhi still looked at Houqu intently, and replied nonchalantly: "It's just a little trick." ”

Li Ass smiled and said yes again and again.

Seeing this, Li Asi hurriedly closed the door gently, plugged it with the latch, and trotted behind Li Zhi.

When he walked to the pavilion road, Li Zhi gestured to the people around him to retreat, and looked at the fish pond surrounded by the center of the pavilion road, and stared at it for a long time.

"The autumn frost wants to start the prophet, and the tailor scissors under the lamp are cold." Li Zhi groaned softly.

"Bai Juyi's new work......" Li Assi gently draped the bearskin coat he was holding on Li Zhi's body.

"When this matter is over, I will enter Beijing as an official at that time, and I will also go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to visit Bai Lao."

Li Assi bowed his waist and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Bai Lao is also sixty years old." ”

"It's not because of this," Li Zhi stood with his hands in his hands, raised his head and said calmly, looking at the eaves with dark pupils, "Bai Lao is a leader in the literary world, and he sings and harmonizes with Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan and others all day long. If a certain person goes to pay homage and publicizes it again, he will be able to win over the courtier Chinese s after entering the court, and then he will ...... It will be used for something......"

Li Assi looked at the eyes of his family master and said tentatively: "What does Ah Lang mean...... Is it to win over scribes for Niu and Li? ”

"Definitely," Li Zhi's masseter muscles tightened, his eyes seemed to be able to shoot arrows, and he said coldly: "Do you really think ...... My lifelong dream is just to put on a purple robe and go to Chang'an to work in Taiwan? ”

Li Asi's throat moved, and he seemed to have understood what his family master meant.

"I, Li Liulang, as the Emperor Tang Clan, want to be a very popular minister, a prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people!" Li Zhi said arrogantly, his eyebrows were a little hideous with his words.

"That Niu and Li?"

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, Fang Cai's arrogance was reduced by a point, and he said softly: "Xianggong Qizhang and Uncle Qi are both old, and they should also vacate their seats and show their strengths to us juniors......"

"That ......" Li Asi, who was over fifty years old, knelt down and bowed his hand solemnly, "Asding Zuo Lang, rest until death!" ”

When Li Zhi said this, Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh and praise again and again.

"By the way," Xu Yi, Li Zhi changed the subject, "Did the person you sent to follow Xue Yuansheng come back?" ”

"Back to Ah Lang, I have already returned, and I was about to tell you in detail before, but Li Huaishen came to disturb me." Li Assi got up and bowed his hand, leaned into Li Zhi's body, and replied: "Xue Tingshi seems to have sent people to Bijifang Yinshilou. ”

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Ah Si, as if to confirm the authenticity of this information, and there were words in his mouth: "It's really strange and ......."

"Yes, this Xue Yuansheng did not send people back to the Shuai Mansion as planned, but sent them to Biji Fang, although it is not necessary to let the dark pile return to the Shuai Mansion by himself, but he is like this...... It's also a bit strange. ”

"Xue Tao is old, and he has long been concerned about the affairs of Chengdu Mansion," Li Zhi said thoughtfully: "I'm just strange, they are really related to each other." ”

"Uh...... What Ah Lang is talking about is Xue Tingshi and Xue Xiaoshu? ”

"Yes," Li Zhiqi said, "It seems that some of the rumors in this market are not groundless......"

After saying this, Li Zhi pulled the bear skin coat, turned around and continued to pace along the pavilion road.

Jiande Fang Gate, Shen Zheng three moments.

As the sun set, coming out of Biji Fang, Zhang Yijun rode a jade horse and walked outside the wall of Jiande Fang. Since the Yacheng Marshal's Mansion is located in it, the entrance and exit of the gate of Jiande Fang must be carefully registered, including what is the matter and who is seen. If it is before noon on the administrative day, only the generals who are wearing official robes or are allowed to enter.

Zhang Yijun got up and dismounted, clenched the reins, and patted the neck of "Sa Yuhu" as if grateful, and "Sa Yulu" nodded knowingly.

At this time, a familiar face appeared at the door of Jiande Fang.

Zhang Yijun looked fixedly, the man was wearing a dark scarf on his head, a dark green robe, and a nine-silver belt around his waist, and he saw that the costume was a sixth-grade official robe. His upper lip was sparsely bearded, and his right hand was wrapped around a stack of papers. I am registering at the gate of Jiande Fang.

"Wei Yuhou?" Zhang Yijun blurted out his debut.

When Wei Rong heard this voice, he first turned his head to look in the direction of Wenshu Fang behind him, looking for the owner of the voice, and then found that Zhang Yijun, who was holding the jade horse, was standing a few steps away from his right side.

"Yi...... So you're here! Wei Rong just wanted to call Zhang Yijun's name, and then immediately lowered his voice and looked around rather cautiously. Even if he hadn't seen him for a year, with just a flick of his fingers, Wei Rong recognized Zhang Yijun's appearance, which really made Zhang Yijun feel a little magical.

Wei Rong as early as last year, he went to Xichuan with Li Deyu and Zhang Yijun to take office as a jiedu envoy, and before Zhang Yijun was sent to Victoria as a secret pile, Wei Rong became Li Deyu's right-hand man because of his kind personality and strong work ability, and it can be said that his status is second only to Li Huaishen's right-hand man.

Wei Rong said hello to the guards at the gate of the fang, walked over to Zhang Yijun quickly, and asked in a low voice: "You are now a celebrity in the Shuai Mansion, everyone is waiting for your news, the scout has already reported that you left Xi Tanmou and went straight to Chengdu first, why did you only arrive now?" ”

"It's been delayed because of the matter," Zhang Yijun remembered the promise he made to Xue Tao, so he snorted and said with a wry smile: "Wei Yuhou is not harmed?" ”

"Unharmed!" Wei Rong smiled heartily, patted Zhang Yijun on the shoulder, and hurriedly helped to hold the reins of "Sa Yuhu", but he didn't want "Sa Yuhu" to be the opposite of the docile of Fang Cai, so he twisted his head violently in resistance, almost pulling Wei Rong aside.

Seeing this, Zhang Yijun hurriedly took back the reins of "Sa Yuqi" again, and gently stroked Sa Yuqi's neck several times before it calmed down again.

After this little episode, the two walked side by side to the gate of Jiande Fang.

The procedure for entering the workshop is very complicated, especially when Zhang Yijun took out the Jieshuai token that only had a few pieces in the entire Xichuan. Several of the guards, including their team, surrounded the token, looking to the right and left with suspicion to distinguish between the real and the fake. In the end, under Wei Rong's repeated assurances, Zhang Yijun and "Sa Yuqi" were allowed to enter the workshop.

Zhang Yijun looked at the large stack of documents wrapped around Wei Rong's right arm, and pointed with some curiosity.

"Oh," Wei Rong said without hesitation, "Li Jiedu asked a certain person to go and transfer the entry and exit records of the sixteenth square of the capital, which can be regarded as a bit of work, but fortunately, it was also done before the curfew." ”

At the beginning of the unit, Chengdu Prefecture will completely enter the curfew, and without justifiable reasons and credentials, including Chengdu Prefecture officials, all unauthorized entry and exit will be strictly prohibited. Although Wei Rong has the order of the temperance envoy, but after the curfew, he vigorously retrieved the records of the fangmen, which is not a small force of the Niu Party in Chengdu Fuzhong, and it is not a good thing to alarm many officials.

The middle hall of the palace of the festival degree, the beginning of the unitary.

It was getting dark, and the candlelight was flickering.

After eating, Li Deyu's case was piled up with books and drafts. Li Deyu has been an official since he became an adult, starting from the position of Jiupin School Shulang, and it has been more than 20 years, and how many books have been written during this period, not to mention others, even Li Deyu himself can't count. And the script to be written now is the most tricky for Li Deyu.

According to scriptures, from the loss of Victoria to the hands of Tubo 67 years ago, to the battle of Victoria in which Wei Gao reversed the fate of the Tang Dynasty 30 years ago, and then to the surrender of Victoria today. How to let the most noble person in Chang'an City know the importance of this matter, but not to be caught by Niu Siyan and Li Zongmin, so as to create something out of nothing, really made Li Deyu, who is known as a literary talent, feel powerless at this time.

What's more, there is such a thing now......

Li Deyu frowned, beckoned to the guards in the palace, and said, "Go and call Xiangyi in, he has been standing in front of the palace for an hour." ”

"The pawn has already been there before," the tooth soldier said with a grim face, "but...... General Yang said that unless you grant his request, he will always be standing outside......"

"Tell him to come in and enter the palace, this is an order," Li Deyu spoke softly, his eyes were clear, he held up a letter on the case, and said word by word: "More than 300 people from the Xitan Department have led their people to the border of Chengdu Mansion, and time is not waiting!" ”
