People like to be praised, no matter what the purpose of this praise sound, it can make people unconsciously feel happy, the emperor is like this, the common people are the same, and Li An is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

The steward of the concert institute complimented him, saying that Li An's heart was warm, with the experience of two lives, Li An naturally saw that the steward of the concert hall was a sleek philistine, and the words that came out of his mouth could not be taken seriously, but he still felt pleasant in his heart, even if it was a hypocritical compliment, but it sounded quite comfortable.

The reason why the steward of the concert house complimented Li Ang was because he learned about Li An's achievements in Ulzhou and admired Li An, and secondly, because Li Ang was valued by Li Longji, and at the same time, he was also the life-saving benefactor of Gao Lishi's family, and his future was bound to be bright.

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and gently patted the shoulder of the steward of the concert hall: "It's good that you can think so, if one day I really become a general, I will definitely not forget you." ”

The compliment is mutual, since the words of the steward of the concert hall made Li An feel very good, then Li An naturally had to repay the favor and give a promise to make the other party happy.

Sure enough, after listening to Li An's promise, the steward of the Jinju Academy looked extremely excited, and looked close: "Captain Li can rest assured that he lives here, if there is anything unfamiliar with the capital, just ask me, there is no one in the entire capital that I am not familiar with." ”

Li An nodded, with a satisfied expression.

Outside the gate of the Yongxingfang Gaolishi Mansion, a carriage slowly stopped, and a young lady walked out of the gate of the mansion with an entourage.

"Yue'er, isn't it just to buy some rouge and clothes? Why do you have to go to the West Market at this time, Li Shaolang will be coming over soon. ”

Gao Fu stood on the side of the carriage, puzzled.

Yue'er smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Fu Bo, Li Shaolang is here, and he has his own father to receive him, what is the matter with me?" ”

"Hey, aren't you talking about Li Shaolang every day? Why, Li Shaolang is coming, but you are going to the West Market, this ......"

"Fu Bo, when people talk about Li Shaolang, it's all because my mother mentions Li Shaolang's kindness, and Yue'er just follows a few words."

Yue'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she stepped into the carriage with her entourage.

Gao Fu grinned, sat down in front of the carriage, and motioned for the coachman to rush to the carriage immediately.

He is in his fifties, he has never seen anything in the world, he can see that Yue'er is shy, however, the West Market is not too far, a trip back and forth, an hour should still be in time, when the time comes, Li An is only afraid that he has just entered the Gaolishi Mansion, Yue'er can return at this time just in time, and pass by the side of the main hall in a bright light, creating a kind of fate of coincidence.

Gao Fu has been in the capital all his life, his eyes are extremely vicious, he can see that Li An is heroic, he is a very promising young man, taking advantage of the current low status, and Yue'er is still possible, if he is waiting for him to soar, I am afraid that he will not look down on the adopted daughter of this eunuch family.

###

On the street in the southwest corner of Buzheng Fang, Liu Luogu was pacing anxiously, and in front of him was the West Market of Chang'an City, and the noisy sound from inside made his mood even more irritable.

In the past few days, he has been running around the mansions of the major imperial relatives and relatives, and sent the heart of An Lushan, the governor of Yingzhou, to obtain the support of these people for An Lushan.

However, these royal relatives were very happy when they received the gifts, but when he mentioned the matter of the divine bird, these people didn't seem to hear it, and they didn't make any statement, at most they comforted a few words, and asked Liu Luogu to go to the West Market to buy a business.

But the huge size of the best white eagle, how can it be bought in the market, if it can be bought at will in the market, it is not rare, so, how can it be called a divine bird, buy a mortal white eagle at will, is it a fool to be the emperor?

Liu Luogu was completely disappointed in these imperial relatives, and even had a certain amount of hatred, feeling that they were still white-eyed wolves, taking so many gifts, but refusing to say a word for him.

Of course, Liu Luogu ignored one point, that is, he did not have conclusive evidence to prove that Li An ate the divine bird, so, of course, no one would take the risk to speak for him, and besides, these gifts were An Lushan's intentions, he Liu Luogu was just an errand runner, he accidentally lost the divine bird, how could he let these noble imperial relatives wipe his ass for him?

And then, the report of the subordinates who were in charge of monitoring the Lingzhou Jinju Academy made Liu Luogu even more angry, this Li An, who made him extremely hateful, was actually canonized by the emperor as the Xuanjie captain of the eighth grade, and was also rewarded with a hundred pieces of silk and fifty pieces of gold.

These are enough to show that the current emperor attaches great importance to Li An, so it is even more difficult for him to take revenge on Li An.

In Liu Luogu's thinking, Li An, who hurt him very badly, should not die well, but Li An is so smooth sailing at the moment, which makes his heart seriously unbalanced and full of great resentment.

"Mr. Liu, the East City and the West City, my subordinates have all seen it, and there is no suitable one."

A subordinate hurried over.

Liu Luogu had already guessed the result, but he still asked, "Tell me, what is the situation?" ”

"There are indeed eagle sellers, but they can't be compared with our sacred birds, and the biggest eagles are only a little bigger than chickens, and they don't have any spirit."

Liu Luogu was furious: "I have long known that this is the result, what can be sold in the market, what good goods can be there, hum." ”

Seeing that Liu Luogu was furious, the subordinate hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Liu, my subordinate met a little lady when he was visiting the West Market, it should be the one who was with Li An at the beginning. ”

"Oh, are you sure it's her?" Liu Luogu suddenly became interested, and when he was at Tongguan Station, he vaguely remembered that there were indeed several women in Ang Li's team.

"There's absolutely no mistake, there's a little lady behind her, who seems to be very familiar, I should have seen it at Tongguan Station."

Liu Luogu gritted his teeth, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "This little lady and Ang Li all the way, either Ang Lee's family or his relatives, yes, it must be like this." ”

The extreme imbalance in his heart made Liu Luogu lose his mind, and stubbornly believed that Yue'er, who was with Li An, was Li An's family or relative, and his helplessness against Li An made him feel that he could completely attack a woman who had no ability to resist in order to calm the great hatred in his heart.

Liu Luogu whispered in the ears of his subordinates and asked them to go to execute immediately.

"Mr. Liu, wouldn't this be too risky, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not Yingzhou."

Liu Luogu was furious: "Bastard, just do what I say." ”

"Yes, I understand."

At this moment, Liu Luogu has no reason at all, Li An was canonized as a captain of Xuanjie, which constituted a great stimulus to him, and was the inducement for him to make crazy moves, he was completely consumed by anxiety and hatred, and brought the domineering spirit of Yingzhou to the capital.

On the street directly south of Yongxingfang, Li An stopped in front of the gate of the Gaolishi Mansion and gently jumped off the war horse.

The housekeeper at the gate immediately greeted him and helped Ang Lee lead the horse to the stable.

"Li Shaolang, please, the general has been waiting for a long time."

Li An nodded lightly, followed behind the famous family, and walked into the mansion of Gao Lishi.

Although Gao Lishi's family is extremely wealthy, he likes to be low-key, so the mansion is not very luxurious, there are not too many carved beams and paintings in the house, and there are no expensive rockeries, it looks like an ordinary house, but the scale is slightly larger.

Of course, Gao Lishi has definitely more than one residence in Chang'an City, in the north of Laitingfang and in the northeast of Xingningfang, there are his houses, and later generations of state and county-level officials can have hundreds of residences.

Because Gaolishi embraced Buddhism and Taoism, for this reason, the house in Laitingfang has been transformed into Baoshou Buddha Temple, and the house in Xingningfang has been transformed into Huafeng Taoist Temple.

These are all renovations made by Colliers at his own expense to benefit the people of Chang'an City, and at the same time to pray for his own blessings.

In the main hall, Gao Lishi waited patiently for Li An while drinking tea, after letting the housekeeper send out an invitation, he rested in the bedroom for nearly an hour, after all, he was old, his energy was a little lacking, after returning to the residence from Daming Palace, he was a little tired, so he had to take a good rest to adjust his state.

He looked up and saw that the majestic Ang Lee was striding forward, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and from the way Ang Lee walked, he could see that Ang Lee's bearing was extraordinary.

"General, Li Shaolang has arrived."

Colliers had already stood up and personally walked outside the main hall to greet Ang Lee.

As soon as Li An saw this person's age and clothing, he knew that he must be Gao Lishi, the great eunuch beside Li Longji.

"Ang Lee, see the general."

Gao Lishi looked Li An up and down, smiled and nodded: "Li Shaolang is really heroic, a young hero!" Quick, inside please. ”

"The general praised it falsely, and Li An was ashamed."

Li An opened his mouth and said a word of humility, and followed Gao Lishi into the main hall.

Colliers sat down gently and motioned for Ang Lee to sit down.

"Li Shaolang has been canonized by His Majesty as Captain Xuanjie, however, Captain Xuanjie is only a position of eight grades, and he is not worthy of Li Shaolang's talent, so it is more cordial to call you Li Shaolang."

Li An was slightly stunned, Gao Lishi's inconspicuous casual words made him feel good, Captain Xuanjie is not worthy of his talent, which means that he should have a higher position, this kind of casual praise is the most comfortable, and Gao Lishi's words are kind, without the official frame that Li An imagined.

"Mrs. and Yue'er have mentioned Li Shaolang many times, if it wasn't for Li Shaolang's rescue, they would have been buried in the wilderness long ago, this life-saving grace, our family will remember."

The sincerity of Colliers' face does not show the slightest hypocrisy, at least on the surface.
