Chapter 512: Magical Dream
Gujing County is not far from Liangzhou City, but it is only two hundred miles away, even if the team walks unhurriedly, it will not be late for General Tangtai's birthday.
It's just that along the way, the mood of the pressure of the platform is obviously a little wrong, and the whole person looks very awkward, especially awkward, as if he is afraid of something.
Li Qi asked the general of the situation: "You said before that the birthday of General Shantai will be coming soon, looking at your nervous appearance, is it because you didn't bring a gift back and were afraid that General Shantai would be unhappy?" ”
After sighing, he said: "It's not all, when I left home, I blew down the big cowhide, and I told my father that I was already invincible......"
Li Qi smiled and said: "After returning to Liangzhou, we can compete with you in front of General Tangtai, we will all lose to you, and General Tangtai will believe your words." ”
"That's not necessary, my father is a serious person, and he doesn't like opportunistic things the most." ”
Li Qi smiled and said: "I was joking, even if you tell me that you want to fake in front of General Tangtai, I will not accompany you to act, what have you actually gained from this trip, what have you realized, as long as you sit down, father and son talk about it well, he will be happy." ”
"Between us, there has never been a serious chat, he always looks down on me, I always look down on him, I don't say a few words and will quarrel and break up." ”
Li Qi said to the Tai Pressure Realm: "If you are afraid to talk to him, then I can accompany you to rehearse first, and I will reluctantly play your father." ”
Pressing the Stage: "Roll ......"
Li Qi laughed and said, "What do you think of me and my master? ”
After thinking about it carefully, he recalled the relationship between Li Qi and his master Changmei Daoren, which was exactly the way he envied getting along, it seemed that it was not only the father and son of master and apprentice, but also a friend.
Li Qi said: "In terms of etiquette, those of us who are juniors must obey our fathers' words and be humble and obedient, but if we have always been in this way of getting along, is it still father and son?" ”
He taught Tantai to suppress the situation: "You try, don't be so serious all the time after you go back, and make jokes with General Tantai." ”
Yutai thought about it, shook his head again and again, his father's rigid and serious temperament, joking with him? No kidding.
He sighed and said, "I'll think about it myself, I'll see if I can touch any good gifts when I get to Wuji County in front of me, it's always better than going back empty-handed." ”
Li Qi nodded: "That's right, the old people always say, don't bring gifts, don't bring things, we are happy to come back often, that's just distressing the juniors, you really brought gifts, whether they are valuable or not, they are really happy." ”
The Tai Pressure Realm asked with some curiosity: "Is this so?" ”
Li Qi said: "Of course, most of the old people are insincere, in fact, they want gifts, but they just feel sorry for the children to spend money, you don't have to think about it so much, haven't you already brought back the best gift to General Tangtai." ”
After thinking about it, Li Qi probably meant that he had learned a lot and felt a lot on this trip, and he was not as proud and conceited as before, and such a change was the best gift for his father.
The maturity of a child is the best gift to a father.
As soon as he was about to speak, he saw Li Qi looking at Yu Jiuling's side, and said earnestly: "You brought back such a flower-like daughter-in-law to General Tangtai, he is an old man......"
Yutai pressed the realm and gritted his teeth and said: "I will chop me, and I will chop you, not a single one will be left, I am afraid that I will not be relieved if I chop it up." ”
Li Qi paused for a moment, then looked at Yu Jiuling and said, "Hey, it's a pity that you pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, think."
It's really hard to marry into a wealthy family. ”
"Get out...... , please. ”
Wuji County is less than sixty miles away from Liangzhou City, Li Qi and they entered the city when it was already dusk, everyone should stay in Wuji County for one night, and then hurry tomorrow morning, and they will definitely be able to reach Liangzhou before dark tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, everyone decided to go around the city, where there were many merchants from the Western Regions, as well as many merchants from the Central Plains, who sold a wide variety of goods, which was quite attractive.
For Gao Xining and Miss Ruoling, the two girls haven't gone shopping for a long time, so it's inevitable that they will be a little excited, and when they go out shopping, both of them are happy.
Everyone lived in the official post, and at this moment, there was no need to hide their identities in the Taitai Pressure Realm, and asked the people from the official post to send a letter to Liangzhou, quickly informing his father that he had returned.
They went out shopping, and after walking a short distance, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of a family, and it seemed that there was something lively.
Yu Jiuling is the character of an eighth woman, where can she hold back her curiosity and run over to see.
Mr. Yan said: "The girl's family is so undignified. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they came to their senses, Mr. Yan was talking about Yu Jiuling, they all looked at Mr. Yan, and the meaning in their eyes was almost the same, probably ...... This Mr. Yan is a fake.
After a while, Yu Jiuling ran back, shook his head and said, "It turns out that an old man has passed away, and many neighbors have come to see him off. ”
Mr. Yan said: "This old man must be highly respected. ”
Yu Jiuling replied: "I inquired and said that it was a stable woman, who was in her seventies, and for decades, she had delivered countless babies in the city. ”
"A venerable man who fights for the life of Yama."
Li Qi said: "Since I have encountered it, buy some paper money and burn it." ”
In Dachu, Wen Po is respected, most of them do not collect money for deliveries, someone once said that their hands are stained with blood, but they are taking people's lives.
Li Qi and the others saw that there was paper money on the side of the road, so they bought some and went to the house to burn them, and they happened to see someone entering the house with a pair of gloves, which were sewn with red cloth and were very brightly colored.
Yu Jiuling was a little curious, he asked, "Why is this?" ”
Li Qi once heard his master Changmei Taoist talk about it, and people in many places said that Wen Po delivered children and saved mothers, and they were people who fought for their lives with ghosts and gods, and their hands delivered countless babies and saved countless mothers.
Therefore, when he arrived at the Yama Palace, Yama would order Wen Po's hands to be cut off as punishment, and sew gloves with red cloth to cover the hands of the deceased Wen Po, and Yama would no longer order her hands to be chopped off.
After hearing this, Yu Jiuling said with some annoyance: "Life, old age, sickness and death are all natural techniques, why is Yama? ”
Li Qi said: "The people are afraid that Wen Po will be punished in the Yama Hall after her death, so they must prepare red gloves and many things, including an obituary, which is also unusual, and it must be written on it to ask Yama to raise his noble hand and the like. ”
"I'll go."
Zhang Yuxu said: "I'll go and give the people peace of mind." ”
Dressed in a Taoist robe, he walked slowly into the courtyard and took the initiative to do something for the old man who had passed away.
This was a coincidence, Li Qi didn't expect to dream at night, and this dream made Li Qi feel ...... And a little fun.
They bought some things on the street, but there were nothing precious, so Li Qi said that he would give the silver defrauded from Liu Shengchun and others from Gujing County as a congratulatory gift to General Shantai.
This 10,000 taels of silver as a congratulatory gift is definitely not a small amount, but Li Qi feels that it is not too much, because this silver will eventually be used by General Yutai on the soldiers of the border army, so he discussed it with Yu Jiuling
After a while, he looked at the total amount of silver he had brought with him.
Counting all the gold and silver, there are tens of thousands of taels in total, Li Qi asked Yu Jiuling to calculate what he needed to go back, and the rest was given to General Tangtai, which can be regarded as something he has done for the Xiliangbian Army.
That night, not long after Li Qi fell asleep, he dreamed of the old man Wenpo.
The dream was so real that it felt like it was there.
Li Qi felt that he was walking on a very desolate path, flanked by strangely growing trees, like a devil with teeth and claws.
There was a faint crying sound in the woods, which was quite scary.
But Li Qi was not afraid at all, he walked along the road all the way, and saw that there was a city in front of him, he looked up, and there were two big characters on the city gate...... Fengdu.
At that moment, a voice appeared in his ears.
"You are the emperor, why did you come to the underworld? This is not the place you should be, go back quickly. ”
Li Qi was startled because of these words, he was not afraid, but this sudden appearance really startled him, thinking that who was messing with him, he looked around, but there was no one in sight.
"Judge of the underworld, on the order of Yama, respectfully invite the emperor to return to the throne, don't stay in the underworld, the emperor's anger is too masculine, and it will hurt the underworld."
Li Qi was in a trance suddenly, opened his eyes and looked, as if he had returned to the official post, it was dark all around, and he could vaguely feel a gust of night wind blowing, he glanced at it, and the window didn't know when it opened.
Li Qi got up and closed the window, feeling that this dream was really absurd.
After taking a sip of water, Li Qi went back to bed and lay down, and soon fell asleep again.
After a while, he seemed to hear some screams, and wanted to open his eyes to see, but he couldn't, and there were bursts of pleading and a very majestic voice in his ears.
The majestic voice said, "Take off her gloves, just a red cloth, can you stop my underworld from punishing?" In your life, you snatched back dozens of lives from the hands of the underworld, violated the rules of the underworld, and this king will cut off your hands! ”
Hearing this, Li Qi suddenly became angry.
"You dare?!"
Li Qi stepped on the ground, and the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked.
Li Qi stepped into the underworld.
Not long after, in another room of the official post, Zhang Yuxu, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up, he hurriedly got up and ran to the courtyard, looked left and right, and then ran to the door of Li Qi's residence.
"Li Qi? Boss? ”
Zhang Yuxu screamed eagerly, Li Qi opened the door in a daze, saw that it was Zhang Yuxu, and smiled: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, don't you want to insult me." ”
Zhang Yuxu asked: "...... in charge Did you just have any dreams? ”
Li Qi paused for a moment and asked a little puzzled, "How do you know that I had a dream?" ”
Zhang Yuxu swallowed with difficulty, looked at Li Qi carefully, and said in a deep voice after a while: "I also had a dream just now......
Li Qi smiled and said: "What did you dream about again, such an adult, couldn't you be scared by nightmares and dare not sleep anymore, that's why you came to me." ”
Zhang Yuxu shook his head, looked at Li Qi with a very strange look and said, "I dreamed that Yan Luo called for help, his voice was miserable, and he shouted for the emperor to spare his life. ”
Li Qi's heart tightened.
Zhang Yuxu said: "It seems that I saved him." ”
Li Qi pouted: "What a mess, go back to sleep." ”
He closed the door and stood in the room thinking for a while, unable to understand why Zhang Yuxu came, just now he seemed to be beating someone, and it was so cool......
